The Goodyear Airdock in Akron, Ohio, was constructed in 1929 by the Goodyear Zepplin Corporation from plans created by the Wilbur Watson Engineering Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Work began on April 20, 1929, and by November 25 the Airdock was completed at a cost of $2.2 million. With the construction of the Airdock, Akron became one of the centers for development and construction of lighter-than-air ships. Two dirigibles, the Akron (ZRS-4) and its sister, the Macon (ZRS-5), were built in the Airdock and launched in 1931 and 1934 respectively. The building later housed the photographic division of the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation. The semi-paraboloid shaped building has been described as "half a silkworm's cocoon, cut in half the long way." The maximum length of the Goodyear Airdock is 1,175 feet with a maximum width of 325 feet and a maximum height of 211 feet. At the ends of the building are identical semi-spherical doors, each weighing 600 tons. These doors are fastened at the top by hollow forged pins 17 inches in diameter and six feet long. The doors rest on 40 wheels set on curved railroad tracks.

On either side of the building, approximately 100 feet above ground level, is a row of 12 windows. Atop the building at the northeast end is a control tower and radio aerial. The airdock might be said to "breathe," as it is mounted on rollers to compensate for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. At the time it was built, it was the largest building in the world without interior supports. Before starting the design of the Akron Goodyear Airdock, Dr. Karl Arnstein, director of engineering of the Goodyear Zepplin Corporation had extensive tests conducted on a model of the building in the wind tunnel of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics of New York University. According to Wilbur J. Watson in his article Building the World's Largest Airship Factory and Dock for the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation, tests conducted on a model 1/240th of the size of the building, "demonstrated the superiority of this shaped building in offering minimum resistance to wind currents, and also furnished valuable information in regard to the magnitude and distribution of the suction forces caused by the action of the wind on the surface of the building." When World War II broke out enclosed production areas were rapidly needed, and the Airdock was used for this purpose. The Airdock has more recently served as the site of the 1986 kickoff rally for the United Way of Summit County and some 200,000 members of the public visited. President Clinton spoke here as a candidate in the 1992 election, bringing some 30,000 visitors to the site. Loral Corporation purchased Goodyear Aerospace Corporation and the Goodyear Airdock, in 1987 and it was later acquired by the Lockheed Martin Corporation in 1996.
The Goodyear Airdock is located at 1210 Massillion Rd., Akron, Ohio, and can be easily seen from U.S. Rt. 224 just east of downtown Akron. The airdock is not open to the public.The Goodyear Airdock was also documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record .

Facebook and Instagram end Trump's suspension from platforms
Former President Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts are being reinstated, the social media giant Meta announced Wednesday — a little more than two years after he was suspended from the platforms over incendiary posts on the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Trump's accounts will be reinstated "in the coming weeks" and come with "new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses," Nick Clegg, president, global affairs at Meta, said in a statement. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram.
Those guardrails will include "heightened penalties for repeat offenses — penalties which will apply to other public figures whose accounts are reinstated from suspensions related to civil unrest under our updated protocol. In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation," Clegg said on the company's website.
Trump celebrated the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social.
"FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since 'deplatforming' your favorite President, me, has just announced that they are reinstating my account. Such a thing should never again happen to a sitting President, or anybody else who is not deserving of retribution!" he wrote.
The move by Meta comes weeks after the timeframe Facebook gave itself to re-evaluate the 2021 decision, and shortly after Republicans — many of whom have been critical of Facebook's decision — regained control of the House of Representatives.
Then-House Minority Leader — and now House Speaker — Kevin McCarthy vowed to "rein in big tech power over our speech" after Facebook announced the duration of Trump's suspension in 2021.
Trump's presidential campaign officially petitioned the social media giant to allow Trump back on to the platform earlier this month.
"We believe that the ban on President Trump's account on Facebook has dramatically distorted and inhibited the public discourse," Trump's campaign wrote in its Jan. 17 letter to Meta, according to a copy of the letter reviewed by NBC News.

A Trump adviser, who spoke with NBC earlier this month on the condition of anonymity, said the former president's campaign was prepared to turn to his allies in the House to pressure Facebook if necessary.
"If Facebook wants to have this fight, fine, but the House is leverage, and keeping Trump off Facebook just looks political," the adviser said.
Facebook announced in June 2021 that it was banning Trump from Facebook and Instagram until at least January 2023 for a "severe violation of our rules" stemming from his role in the Jan. 6 riot.
The accounts were first suspended after Trump offered warm words for the rioters in a pair of messages while asking that they go home, calling them "very special" and "great patriots."
"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love in peace. Remember this day forever!" he said in one of the posts.
The ban was initially slated to last 24 hours, but was extended until the end of his term by Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who said the "risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great."
"Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete," Zuckerberg wrote.
The company's quasi-independent Oversight Board later said the site did the right thing banning Trump, but also found it had inappropriately varied from its normal penalties when it made the ban indefinite.
Clegg later announced the ban would last until at least January of this year.
"At the end of this period, we will look to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded. We will evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest. If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded," he said in June 2021.

Mark Zuckerberg gives a presentation in Barcelona, on Feb. 21, 2016.
Nesbit was the communications director to former Vice President Dan Quayle and is the author of Poison Tea.
Mark Zuckerberg is wrong. Fake news isn't a small problem for his company that will disappear eventually with just a few more lines of code. It's an existential threat to Facebook's reputation.
The moves that he is proposing won't even remotely solve the equation. Tweaking news feed algorithms and adding a few fact-checkers to cull fake news won't work. People still won't be able to tell whether legitimate news is in their news feed or not. Facebook needs to embrace journalism as a full partner. It is the real news expert. Facebook has dishonored this obvious truth for years.
Whether Zuckerberg admits it or not, his platform was more than just a little bit responsible for the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Propaganda is powerful because it works. Only science, evidence and hard facts—which form the basis of real news—will truly counter the propaganda monster that's threatening the fabric of American democracy right now.
Journalism understands this principle. Technology content platforms—even big ones with hundreds of millions of users—clearly do not. Every experienced journalist who has developed an expertise in a given subject can spot fake news in a nanosecond when it flickers across his or her screen. Journalists don't tolerate fake news. But Facebook does.
Facebook was rightfully criticized for widespread sharing of untruthful content during the 2016 presidential election. It's struggled with human review of its news feed and algorithms. The changes it's proposing—tweaking its news feed and relying on fact-checking to thwart fake news—won't allay the criticism that it will continue to make a huge amount of money from false news.
While this is a clear and present threat to Facebook's reputation, it is also an unprecedented opportunity for someone. The first big content platform to establish a real solution to this threat will not only contribute to a better-engaged democracy, it will create a large market opportunity for new advertising revenue from engaging, accurate information.
Make no mistake about it. There is a great deal of advertising revenue being made from fake news right now—nearly all of it going to Facebook and Google (who, collectively, pull in 85% of all new digital ad revenue now). Given that the top fake election news stories generated more total engagement on Facebook than top election stories from 19 major news outlets combined, according to a Buzzfeed analysis, it's likely that Facebook made more money from fake election news than real news.
However, Harvard business professor Ben Edelman told Forbes that it's likely that ad revenue from real news would essentially replace the revenue Facebook would lose by removing fake news across the platform. "If Facebook managed to take out all the fake news, maybe they'd show more real news, get nearly as many hours of user activity, and still show just as many ads and get as many ad clicks,"Edelman said. Both Facebook and Google have at least taken their first steps in that direction by vowing to block ad revenue from blatantly false news sites on their platforms.
The simple truth is this: the only antidote to fake news poison is real news.
The proliferation of bogus news sites, which were a new reality in the 2016 presidential race, will become part of the political landscape going forward. That means platforms will continue to face risks to their brand and image over their role in promoting the contents of these sites through user sharing—because it clearly harms our democratic political process.
But there is a solution, one that has the potential to generate more revenue, over time, than any platform can ever make through the promotion of content from fake news sites. It has two simple elements: partner with legacy media to curate real news and reward them for it, and then turn it into engaging video content that travels well in the digital age and attracts premium advertisers.
Almost all legacy print journalism brands have now consolidated to the point that they define themselves in unique topic areas that are capable of attracting large readerships in their niche. No one truly focuses broadly on general readership any longer. But, without a broad and general platform that can attract the entire range of advertisers, their business models aren't sustainable.
Once upon a time, legacy print brands could attract premium advertising on a consistent basis. Those days are long gone. Print ad rates began declining 5% a year starting a decade ago, and the legacy brands began to plan for the steady-state decline. That collapsed in 2016, with print ad rates now declining by 15% or more. Circulation is suffering as well. Newspaper print circulation dropped 7% from 2014 to 2015 alone.
There is no business model that works for legacy media brands. Subscription plans don't cover their costs. Neither does the digital advertising inside their websites, no matter how successfully readers click back to their sites and no matter how broad their base of digital readers.
A true partnership between legacy media and a big content platform that covers the entire range of topics and real news that consumers expect will attract large, global advertisers and reward real news. But its credibility—and its ability to slay the fake news beast—rests on the deeply reported, expert journalism of legacy media organizations.
The Fox News Channel is now worth as much as $12 billion on the strength of just several hundred thousand daily viewers, in a rapidly shrinking cable market of 100 million or so. Competitors like CNN and other broadcast news digital sites likewise have billion-dollar valuations on the strength of relatively small viewerships. A real news channel on a big content platform that combines world-class print journalism with broadcast-quality news would overtake each of them almost overnight.
Fake news is a real threat to Facebook and every other big content platform that allows political actors to dress propaganda up as news. It is a virulent poison that now presents an existential threat to democracy. The antidote is real news—curated by legacy media journalism, delivered by big platforms in a true partnership.
There's still time for Mark Zuckerberg to get it right.


Ben Ellwood – Stats and spreadsheets.
I've been dabbling at doing the internet since the late 90s. For the past seven years I've been doing it properly on the content team at English Heritage, who have recently become Historic England. During the confusion I've become Audience Insight Analyst in Historic England's new marketing department.
It's giving me a lot more time to understand and evaluate things. And make spreadsheets.
So I thought I might write a bit about that.
Google Sheets has a formula that lets you scrape values from a website: =importxml().
Get a list of your web pages (you can do this by importing your xml sitemap into Google Sheets) and then use the =importxml() formula to scrape values for things like metadata title and description, or on-page text like your Heading 1.
XPATH: is the description of the content you're requesting. w3schools.com has a pretty useful overview of the syntax.
There seems to be a hidden speed limit; I find that the first few hundred fields will populate really quickly but then it really slows down to just one cell updating every 10-20 seconds. Making a cup of tea or writing a blog post about it can help kill the time.
You can fetch multiple values in a single request. I presume this will help speed up the process but I don't have it working reliably enough to use it in place of the above method.
Use a pipe separater in the XPATH value to request more than one item.
The problem I find with this method is that it gives the results in the order they appear on the page, not the order you request them.
For me it returns Title, Description, Keywords, H1 because that's the order in the HTML I'm scraping.
The bigger problem is that where a field doesn't exist, its column doesn't get skipped. Where keywords are blank it doesn't leave a blank cell, it shifts the H1 into the column that contains keywords for other pages.
You can only really use this then for fields you know will be filled in.
The value gets cached in Google Sheets for a few hours before it will fetch new content. Before this happens you should copy and paste as values to overwrite the formula with the content it fetched.
Put the formulas in for the first page, and drag the formulas down to autofill about 50 rows.
There's a growing problem of spam traffic in Google Analytics, but recently I've been able to eradicate most of ours with one very simple filter.
Google analytics is a pretty open system. The account ID is all that's needed to push data to your reports and these IDs are numeric so it's easy for them to automate account IDs and have their servers push pageview and event data straight into your account.
When something like a pageview is recorded in Analytics there are also a lot of secondary dimensions recorded that you can use to verify whether it's spam or not.
I used the Hostname dimension. It records the domain that the visitor was viewing when triggering the pageview. By adding the hostname secondary dimension to pageview, referral and event reports I realised that this was missing for the fake spam data. In the screenshot you can see genuine referrals with the hostname set to historicengland.org.uk. The hostname for spam traffic was (not set).
When I first tried to filter traffic based on hostname I set up a filter to exclude hostnames matching "" (blank) or "(not set)" but I discovered that a blank hostname is not the same thing as a missing hostname.
Only include traffic where hostname equals .
The full stop is a regular expression wildcard for any 1 character.
Another option would be to specify your domain name, but I felt that that approach was too specific. There are genuine reasons for using alternative hostnames, like Google Translate. Also in case the domain for our website did ever change then I didn't want the Google Analytics set up to be so heavily customised that the rest of the team might change something which stops it working.
There are some other links which I used along the way to understand the issue, but they tended to rely on individually filtering out specific referral sites and I didn't want to have to keep on top of that!
I've been building on that recently and thought I'd share a few ways I've been using it.
I wanted to get my sitemap data into Google Sheets for a few content audit and statistics dashboards.
The IMPORTXML() function in Google Sheets sounded pretty self explanatory and the XPATH syntax seemed almost graspable.
But it just wouldn't sodding work.

AlunaGeorge #IRemember Experience
Interscope Records brought in IHC to bring AlunaGeorge's #IRemember experience to life. 12 Rooms, 1 Album, 1 continuous shot, all live streamed from a party.
It all started as a crazy idea that turned to reality. What if something as simple as an album listening party was reimagined into an interactive activation anyone could experience? And so, the #IRemember live stream event was created.
Loosely based around IHC's ongoing Party Stream series, the AlunaGeorge's team at Interscope approached IHEARTCOMIX to make Aluna's vision a reality. The concept required 12 rooms be built inside a live event, each room's decoration and production was inspired by each of the 12 songs from her latest record I Remember. The 5 hour event, which featured DJs, performances and projections was live streamed via Twitch in one 52 minute continuous take in order to accommodate the entire album.
We partnered with Mack Sennett Studios in Los Angeles to produce the event in the dauntingly short time-frame of 9 days. Soylent and Beats By Dre joined in as sponsors and Ride or Cry handled social media. It was a team effort of epic proportions that resulted in one of the most creative and interactive experiences IHC has yet to be a part of.

Everton are beginning to find their feet as injuries clear and the squad shows improved strength in depth. Victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday secured three successive league wins for the first time since January 2017. An assist and two goals from three substitutes in the latter stages underlined the increased options available to Marco Silva.
With a run of difficult away fixtures mixed with winnable home games in the weeks ahead, Silva may have to vary his approach week-by-week, which leaves the Everton manager with the difficult but pleasing dilemma of having to find the right balance and a place for all these players within his setup. One positive along the way, marking a clear and obvious shift from last season, though, is the number of viable alternatives within the squad. When performances or the result are going awry, with Everton heading for a frustrating draw until substitutes intervened on this occasion, Silva has several options to call on to refresh the team and switch formations if required.
This uptick in resources after the recent international break allowed Silva to name all six of his summer signings in the same matchday squad for the first time. Five of the new recruits started while Yerry Mina was among the substitutes after making the squad for the first time since his summer move from Barcelona. But while Mina was an unused substitute on his return to fitness, another player who swapped Barcelona for Merseyside in the summer managed a more productive afternoon as midfielder André Gomes turned in an effective debut during his 82 minutes on the pitch.
Injury had delayed his debut and Gomes seemed keen to make up for lost time during an increasingly influential performance that eventually ended with a deserved ovation from the Goodison faithful upon his substitution. This promising debut saw the midfielder finish second on attempted passes, third on pass accuracy and fourth on touches.
Gomes started cautiously in the initial stages, seemingly content to recycle possession and let others try to do the bulk of work. That is not to say he was shirking his responsibilities, but this steady approach was more than understandable for a player making his first appearance for a new team on his return from injury.
But as a physical contest warmed up, so too did the debutant. Whether it was the occasional sharp turn to advance up the pitch, a burst into space with the ball at his feet or a well-timed pass to a teammate, Gomes showed glimpses of why Silva was so keen to add him to an already congested central midfield. As his confidence and comfort within his new surroundings grew in the first half, a couple of deft reverse passes sprang the overlapping Lucas Digne down the left flank.
Signs of his ability were in evidence throughout this 82-minute outing, but it was after the interval that Gomes started to demonstrate his quality. If the first half was a player working his way up to speed, then the second saw the summer signing click through the gears and start to dictate proceedings from his midfield base. Passing became that bit crisper and more purposeful as the match wore on, clearly moving from basic ball retention to a more progressive approach. Comfortable off either foot, finding Digne once more with a driven pass off his so-called weaker left foot in the second half, the sight of a midfielder spraying passes to various corners of the Goodison turf is something Everton have lacked since Gareth Barry joined West Brom in August 2017.
While the central midfield alternatives available to Silva tend to do their best work recovering the ball and capitalising on opposition mistakes through pressing high up the pitch, Gomes seems a player likely to have the most impact in possession. In a midfield engine room packed with energy and tackling ability, Gomes can provide the finesse to compliment the traits of his teammates.
This was the first glimpse of the Barcelona loanee, but this one performance did enough to suggest he will be a key figure as this season advances, particularly in matches like this. Defensive and organised visiting teams are often the most difficult assignment for Everton at Goodison, but Gomes can offer that link between defence and attack, especially when faced with opposing teams happy to dig in and frustrate. A different type of central midfielder to those already at Silva's disposal, Gomes could be the missing link in midfield.
Gomes is the missing link. He slotted into the midfield trio with Gana and Sigurdsson seamlessly. With Davis, who will be learning all the time, being a different type of player in midfield, tactical changes can be affected by his introduction.
Silva has gelled together the back line and midfield. Wingers and overlapping full-backs working fine. Scheneiderlin?
The forward line is the next project. Poor pass-completion in the final third being the final piece in the jigsaw. Everton do have alternatives, as was proved by Silva in the last match, but a Gomes-type figure still has to emerge.
The good news is that Everton in Brands and Silva at last have a management team that are playing football to Everton's traditional strengths and know what they are about. The players are improving a lot in this framework and will improve more.
It's a long time since one could say that about Everton.
Gomes gave me more hope in 82 minutes than anything I have seen from Schneiderlin in the last 18 months.
The team is really starting to take shape. We have England's number one in goal, and a first choice back 4, with Mina waiting for his chance to step in.
We seem to now have a first choice midfield 3, consisting of Gueye, Gomes and Sigurdsson (if Gomes can carry on as he has started).
Up front, it's getting interesting. Our first choice front 3 at the minute seems to be Bernard, Walcott and Richarlison. But none of them covered themselves in glory the other day, and the subs all came on and changed the game. Tosun looked like a man possessed, and if Calvert-Lewin can add more goals to his game, he can be an option off the bench.
In less than 6 months, the squad has been transformed. We've strengthened all over the pitch, and the mentality has changed also – we are now having a go at dominating and winning games.
We may be in transition, but the signs are positive. Let's hope Gomes can build on his promising start.
It's promising, Luke. It is reasonable to say he will get better too, with fitness and further adaptation to the league. Most importantly he will benefit no end from an injection of confidence after his Barca tribulations.
As Danny above says, the front three line-up is getting interesting as I think Richarlison is more effective on the left at this stage. That leaves the door open for Calvert-Lewin and Tosun again through the centre whilst, on the right, Lookman is breathing down the neck of Walcott for a starting place.
Front 3 against Man Utd? Place your bets... Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin and Walcott with Bernard, Tosun and Lookman ready to step in on the hour mark if and when necessary.
As others above; I'm very optimistic with Gomes's debut on Sunday.
If Man Utd were playing well, it'd be tempting to put Davies in alongside Gana and Gomes to make sure we look solid, but no need to with this United side at this time.
Richarlison on the left, Tosun through the middle and Walcott right for me next weekend with Sigurdsson, Gana and Gomes behind them.
So great to have options off the bench, and the fact Holgate, Kenny, Jagielka, Niasse and Schneiderlain can't even get on the bench is a sign of how strong we are now.
Good to have strength in depth and whilst this is a work in progress, loads of good signs and hope to take into the Man Utd match.
Let them worry about us, we'll look after our selves. I'd take a 1-0, but a draw would be a good result, hopefully we'll get a referee, who will be mentally strong and won't bottle it.
Genuine hope, and that's saying a lot bearing where we've been the last four years.
Gomes looks the business: really comfortable on the ball, makes the game look effortless – signs of genuine quality.
Hopefully now with him, Gana, Schniederlin, and Sigurdsson all able to play through the centre, plus McCarthy on his way back, Davies will be used more sparingly, allowing him to develop in a less harsh environment. Hopefully fans will begin to see Davies used as a sub when more experienced players have tired a bit through a game, and allow Tom to showcase what a talented young lad we have on our hands.
If Gomes looks as good as he's threatening too I'd look at moving out Schniederlin or McCarthy along with Besic to gain funds to buy Gomes. We don't need all of the midfielders we have especially if Davies, Dowell and Baningime want a future at the club.
I too think Gomes is the missing link. Lost his man at a corner once (or the man in his zone), but he's a cut above anything we've had since Arteta.
I'd agree with this. He seemingly offers the guile in midfield that we entirely lack if we play any of Davies, Schneiderlin or Bangingime – or Besic or McCarthy for that matter – alongside Gana. He looks like a Barcelona player, comfortable on the ball, a good passer. I noticed a couple of misplaced passes but even they seemed like his teammates not quite on his 'pass and go' wavelength. I agree with the above poster that there is something of Arteta about him.
If he kicks on, hopefully we will not be fielding two 'dogs of war' alongside each other, especially against weaker teams or in home matches. Defensively he's not great, but he's okay – though I'd maybe limit his time defending at set pieces. I also felt that Gana, no longer in a position to rely on a fellow 'dog of war' alongside, upped his game to take on the extra responsibility and had his best game for a while. You won't get Gomes like passing from Gana,but you need one of these types in your team.
In terms of providing balance, Gomes might just be our most important signing, albeit for a year given he's on loan. Personally I'd also like to try Bernard at Number 10 with Lookman on the wing.
Apparently Vlasic is ripping it up in Moscow. Any room for him in the squad next season?

Insights from Kopi Chat Deep Dive on Tech's Role in Sustainability
In our October edition of Kopi Chat Deep Dive series, BLOCK71 organised a panel to discuss the role of technology in the field of sustainability. The panel consisted of Xin Yan from Yoripe, Natalie Phoon who won the title of Ms Earth Fire, Veerappan Swaminathan from Sustainable Living Lab, and was moderated by Joshua Wong from Temasek Foundation Ecosperity. During the discussion, the panelists shared some interesting insights into the sustainability landscape. Here are 4 of the key takeaways that we gathered this installment of Kopi Chat Deep Dive.
From left to right: Alvina Fu (NUS Enterprise), Veerappan Swaminathan (Sustainable Living Lab), Natalie Phoon (Ms Earth Fire), Xin Yan (Yoripe), Joshua Wong (Temasek Foundation Ecosperity)
Key Takeaways on Tech's Role in Sustainability
1. Nuclear energy may be Singapore's best bet at green energy
Singapore has low sun hours due to the amount of cloud cover in regions closer to the equator. Thus, solar energy does not prove to be a very viable option in the Singapore region. Other options such as wind energy and geothermal energy are also insufficient in Singapore for them to be adequate replacements for fossil fuels. As it stands, nuclear energy and offshore solar farms may be the closest Singapore gets to adopting green energy. However, Singapore still has a way to go before such technology can truly replace fossil fuels.
2. Work at the city level to promote sustainability
In order to propagate solutions in sustainability, you have to start from cities. Most developmental work is from the standpoint of working with cities and at the city level is where the solutions get made. On the other hand, appealing to international organisations like the UN may not prove to have much effect when it comes to the implementation of green energy or other sustainability solutions. Thus, governments have to take initiatives to implement city level changes as opposed to leaving it to international organisations to intervene. Energy saving starts from home and in brief, us as individuals need to do every little bit we can for a sustainable future.
3. A longer frame of reference is essential for the sustainability of a company
If one wants to look at the long-term viability of a company, one has to approach it from the perspective of its company's sustainability in terms of profit and revenues. A quarterly frame of reference will result in a short-term loop and overemphasize on a companies' immediate needs and objectives. A frame of reference with a longer time span will allow companies to shift their view into the long-term and address issues such as shareholder maximisation, instead of merely short-term goals that a company can benefit from.
4. Societal norms play a larger role than technology when it comes to change
Technology has an overstated role when it comes to inducing change. In fact, societal norms have a larger impact on whether and how change occurs. Social norms tend to make people resistant to change. Therefore, if we want to impact change, governments and even social groups need to start with education and incept the idea for a change to change.
Technology generally acts as an enabler. It tends to add on and improve the quality of life rather than to make the change. It is then important to think about what social norms that are being created and what habits, uses, and practices are being promoted when finding solutions to sustainability and then where viable use technology as an aid to empower that change.
There is still a long way to go for Singapore before sustainability in terms of energy efficiency can be achieved. In Singapore's case, factors such as our geographical conditions and societal norms are obstacles to Singapore's willingness and ability to adopt sustainable technologies. Fortunately, Singapore as a nation, and with its many sub-community, has taken the initiative to implement changes on a city scale in the hopes of a greener future. For us, that's a good start.

PROLASTIN-C LIQUID: The trusted leader for more than 25 years
PROLASTIN-C LIQUID is the #1 prescribed augmentation therapy, trusted by patients with alpha-1 and their doctors for more than 25 years. More than 4 million PROLASTIN-C infusions have been performed around the world.1
PROLASTIN®-C LIQUID is an alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human) (alpha1-PI) indicated for chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy in adults with clinical evidence of emphysema due to severe hereditary deficiency of alpha1-PI (alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency).
The effect of augmentation therapy with any alpha1-PI, including PROLASTIN-C LIQUID, on pulmonary exacerbations and on the progression of emphysema in alpha1-PI deficiency has not been conclusively demonstrated in randomized, controlled clinical trials
Clinical data demonstrating the long-term effects of chronic augmentation or maintenance therapy with PROLASTIN-C LIQUID are not available
PROLASTIN-C LIQUID is not indicated as therapy for lung disease in patients in whom severe alpha1-PI deficiency has not been established
PROLASTIN-C LIQUID is contraindicated in immunoglobulin A (IgA)-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA or patients with a history of anaphylaxis or other severe systemic reaction to alpha1-PI products.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. Monitor vital signs and observe the patient carefully throughout the infusion. If hypersensitivity symptoms occur, promptly stop PROLASTIN-C LIQUID infusion and begin appropriate therapy.
Because PROLASTIN-C LIQUID is made from human plasma, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, eg, viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent, and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. This also applies to unknown or emerging viruses and other pathogens.
The most common adverse reactions during PROLASTIN-C LIQUID clinical trials in >5% of subjects were diarrhea and fatigue, each of which occurred in 2 subjects (6%).
Please see full Prescribing Information for PROLASTIN-C LIQUID.

Cambridgeshire police say they are in no doubt the attack was linked to the animal experiments carried at HLS.
Detective Inspector Robbie Robertson said the "callous and cowardly" attack on Brian Cass, 53, happened as he arrived at his home in St Ives at around 7.50pm last night. Two members of the public who tried to help Mr Cass were sprayed with CS gas before the assailants, one of whom is believed to be a woman, fled.
Mr Cass was beaten about the head and upper body, and suffered an arm injury as he tried to defend himself.
He was taken to Hunchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon, where several stitches were put into a head wound. He has now been allowed home.
Mr Robertson said: "Last night's attack was callous and cowardly and we are in no doubt it is connected to Mr Cass's work at Huntingdon Life Sciences.
"In recent months we have witnessed an escalation in the nature of attacks on people and property associated with Huntingdon Life Sciences.
"Last night's events make us more determined to catch those who are responsible for these attacks."
Natasha Taylor of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, a campaign aimed at shutting HLS down, said: "We unreservedly condemn any act of violence be it against animals or humans."
Robin Webb of the Animal Liberation Front said: "Although we do not condone that kind of action we understand the kind of anger and frustration that moves lots of people to more radical paths when other avenues have failed."
Both organisations said they had nothing to do with last night's attack on Mr Cass.
A spokesman for HLS said: "Mr Cass will be going to work today but we cannot say when. Security at Huntingdon remains as tight as it has always been and no doubt we will be giving staff further information on how to improve safety at home."

Traffic chaos caused by north Bristol roadworks could be a 'sign of things to come'
Some motorists say they have queued for 40 minutes along the route this week
Kate WilsonPolitical Editor
Roadworks have been causing traffic chaos in North Bristol this week leading residents to ask whether it is a sign of things to come if controversial changes to the A4018 go ahead.
Bristol City Council is carrying out repairs to sections of the carriageway on the A4018 Passage Road at the junction with Greystoke Avenue in Westbury-on-Trym.
In order to carry out the works temporary traffic lights have been installed at the junction - where there are plans to install permanent lights as part of the council's proposed A4018 improvements.

A consultation on plans to make major changes to a three mile section of the key route into the city centre from Cribbs Causeway finishes on Sunday.
There are plans to introduce 24-hour bus lanes as well as cycle lanes along much of that three-mile stretch of road as well as proposals to replace roundabouts with traffic lights.
The village centre of Westbury-on-Trym would also be affected, with only buses, bikes and taxis allowed to use part of the high street, one-way systems would be reversed and other roads blocked up, to try to stop rat-running through that area.
Exactly how new route from M5 to Cribbs Causeway to city centre will work
And with plans to ban vehicles turning off and on to the main road at 10 different junctions there are hundreds of people left wondering how they will access their own homes.
Highways chiefs have said they want to tackle the long queues of traffic congestion along this key route and improve the road for cyclists and those travelling on public transport.
However the temporary lights at the Greystoke Avenue junction this week have resulted in long tailbacks past the Crow Lane roundabout and towards Clifton Rugby Club.

Another set of temporary lights have also appeared just two streets away on Henbury Road, near the junction with Northover Road, while Western Power Distribution repair a cable fault, which has only added to the traffic problems in the area.
It has left residents asking whether this is just a sign of things to come should the council's proposed road scheme go ahead.
A4018 route changes
Three miles of changes planned
Labour 'lost the plot' over changes
Drop-in discussion 'absolute carnage'
Cribbs Causeway route plan 'confusing'
Taking to the North Bristol Transport Facebook page residents have been sharing their frustrations and concerns at being stuck in 40 minute queues to get from Cribbs Causeway to Westbury along the route and the fact that Northover Road has become a rat run for cars trying to avoid the traffic.
With the consultation finishing this week the council's transport team's next task will be to go through all the responses and look again at the plans before any formal decision on the scheme is made.


To define environmental sustainability we must first define sustainability. Sustainability is the ability to continue a defined behavior indefinitely. To define what environmental sustainability is we turn to the experts.
3. For nonrenewable resources the depletion of the nonrenewable resources should require comparable development of renewable substitutes for that resource.
This list has been widely accepted. It's an elegant abstraction, one that made me pause and read it three times when I first encountered it.
The list can be shortened into a tight definition. Environmental sustainability is	the rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely. If they cannot be continued indefinitely then they are not sustainable.
This is discussed on the glossary page for sustainability.
Basically the world's standard definition of environmental sustainability is sustainable development, which means sustainable economic growth, which is an oxymoron. No form of economic growth can be continued indefinitely. Furthermore, all economic growth today is terribly environmentally degrading.
Thus it's impossible to be sustainable and achieve economic growth at the same time, now and for at least the next 50 years or so. That's why definitions like the one on this page must replace the world's standard definition of sustainability.
The Daly definition, even the shortened version, omits the level of quality of life that a sustainable system can support. It's generally implied it should be high. Who wants to live in a degraded world full of pollution, dead oceans, and suffocating heat? It appears we need a new term that includes that extra dimension.
But then again, we don't. We already have that term. It's The Three Pillars of Sustainability. When all three pillars are strong, people live in a system where high quality life is the norm. They have a clean healthy environment, a satisfactory level of economic well-being, and a robust level of social fulfillment.
How to get there is another question.
(1) From Daly, H. E. 1990. Toward some operational principles of sustainable development. Ecological Economics 2:1–6.
The recycle logo in the environmental sustainability icon is from Xavier University. This is the same logo we've got on our recycling bins.
The principle of The Three Pillars of Sustainability says that for the complete sustainability problem to be solved all three pillars of sustainability must be sustainable. The three pillars are social sustainability, environmental sustainability, and economic sustainability.
Of the three pillars, the most important is environmental sustainability. If this is not solved, then no matter how hard we try the other pillars cannot be made strong because they are dependent on the greater system they live within, the environment.

We have a look at the new DJI Inspire 2 with the 20 megapixel Zenmuse X5S Micro Four Thirds camera.
The Inspire 2 is a significant upgrade of the Inspire 1, which is now just over 2 years old. Designed for film makers, the Inspire 2 has redundancy built-in, so that the drone won't fall out of the sky, (unlike some GoPro Karma drones), and features significantly updated cameras, including a new Micro Four Thirds camera. The drone also offers the option of using two controllers, one to fly the drone, and the other to operate the camera.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro on the left, with the Inspire 2 on the right.
As mentioned, the cameras have been upgraded to offer improved image quality with two new models. A new 20 megapixel Micro Four Thirds camera, and a new 20 megapixel 1inch CMOS sensor camera with a new lens. You get manual control over the camera settings for both stills and video, and camera settings can be controlled from the remote controller. There is also going to be a manual focus accessory so the lens focus can be adjusted remotely and smoothly.
The drone also benefits from forward, up and down obstacle detection, dual batteries, and a number of professional accessories are due to be released included multi-chargers so you can charge more than one battery at a time.
As the camera can be rotated 360 degrees, you shouldn't need to fly the drone backwards, and therefore there isn't rear obstacle detection, instead there is forward, above and below sensors. Smart return to home knows where obstacles are on the way back, so that the drone can safely return to you even over long distances.
There's an updated propeller system, and there are optional high-altitude propellers available that will allow the drone to fly at an altitude of 16,400ft (pending local laws and restrictions). The drone features self heating batteries so the drone can be used in extreme low temperatures.
The FPV camera has 2-axis stabilisation and can be used by the flight controller, so the photographer/camera man can control the camera separately and not have to worry about what the pilot sees. There's also the option to have a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) display so you can easily view both camera views, as well as switch between them.
The drone has a top speed of 67mph / 108kmph, with faster acceleration times (0-50mph in 4 seconds). The drone can also fly down at 30ft/s which DJI say means you could video skydivers. The drone can also go up at 20ft/s.
Flight time has been improved, with up to 27 minutes. The original DJI Inspire 1 offered between 18 and 22 minutes depending on the battery used, and with the lightest camera.
Image processing, Cinecore 2.0, is built-in to the drone, not the camera, so this enables the use of smaller cameras. It also supports Adobe Cinema Raw (DNG), Apple ProRes, H.265 and H.264, and the maximum resolution available depends on the camera you select, with the option of a Zenmuse X4s or X5s.
* CinemaDNG or ProRes needed to record 5.2K, 5280x2160 and 5280x2160 resolution video at 29.97/25/24/23.976fps, with 12-bit 4.2Gbps possible with CinemaDNG or 10-bit 422HQ at 1.8Gbps with ProRes.
Both the Zenmuse X4s and X5s are detachable, and DJI say they will be releasing a gimbal handle so you can use the cameras without them being attached to the drone. Although the release date, specifications, price and features are not known at this time.
CrystalSky Screens - Two new CrystalSky screens have been introduced, with two screen sizes available, a 5.5inch screen or a 7.85inch screen.
The drone is compatible with DJI's SDK (Software Development Kit) so developers can make additional apps.
Or you can opt for the Inspire 2 Premium Combo for £6269 which includes the Zenmuse X5S and CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes video codecs and licenses. For those that find this a little expensive, there is a camera very similar to the Zenmuse X4S, in the new DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

Q: Is there a menu like interactive commit for SVN like Git has with --interactive? Most probably you know in git you can get a very good commit experience by using
git commmit --interactive

which will show up a menu, where you can add/update/patch/revert things, and you select files by their range, eg: 1-5,10-12,100-1135
$ git commit --interactive
           staged     unstaged path

*** Commands ***
  1: [s]tatus     2: [u]pdate     3: [r]evert     4: [a]dd untracked
  5: [p]atch      6: [d]iff       7: [q]uit       8: [h]elp
What now>

I am looking to get the same functionality in SVN like a shell command.
Do you know what is the SVN command?

A: Bad news is that there is no such thing as interactive command line prompt for svn. Good news is that you can write your own and be the first to come up with such a useful tool.

A: I don't think you have that kind of feature in the CLI (Command Line Interface, ie "with a shell command") of SVN.
Of course, you have some of it in a GUI like TortoiseSVN (Windows) or RabbitVCS (Linux), but this is a graphical solution, not a command-line one (so again, not a shell Command).
Graphically, the enhanced commit looks like:

A: in spirit of altem's answer, i just did:
# collect a list modified files
svn st > temp.sh
# use your favourite editor (although it is vim, right?)
# to edit list into suitable svn command or commands
vim temp.sh
# execute
. ~/temp.sh

and made a command to commit a selection of files
gad that is ugly
but easier than doing multiple svn ci commits and svn st

A: Opinion: I find svn very badly designed for the command line and scripting in general...
But I often use find and its -ok expression when I want to prompt user:
find . -name "*.jar" -exec svn info {} \; -a -ok svn delete {} \;

Note that in the case you don't want svn info output, you have to invoke a subshell as follows (otherwise -ok will not output at all):
find . -name "*.jar" -exec sh -c 'svn info "{}" 2>/dev/null' \; -a -ok svn delete {} \;

Man Utd 4-0 Norwich: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Red Devils Turn on the Style
Adam Aladay 11 Jan 2020
Manchester United cruised to a resounding 4-0 win over Norwich at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday, with Marcus Rashford bagging a brace on his 200th appearance for the club.
United began the game brightly, but failed to create many real opportunities. However, they moved into the lead on 27 minutes through Rashford. Juan Mata cut in from the left and whipped in a dangerous cross, allowing the Englishman to poke home. Anthony Martial had an opportunity to double his side's lead ten minutes before half time, but he was dispossessed.
The reaction we needed! #MUFC #MUNNOR
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) January 11, 2020
Todd Cantwell thought he had equalised seconds before the interval, but David de Gea produced a magnificent stop to deny him. Instead, the Red Devils won a penalty five minutes into the second half after Brandon Williams was brought down by Tim Krul. Rashford stepped up to take the penalty and slotted home.
Anthony Martial quickly added a third with a wonderful header, following a clever corner. Mason Greenwood completed the scoring with 15 minutes remaining, firing in from outside the area.
Here's 90min's breakdown of the game...
Key Talking Point
United were without Harry Maguire for the Manchester derby and the club were fearing he could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but he managed to overcome his recent injury struggles to start against Norwich.
The Red Devils dominated possession early on and while they didn't test Tim Krul very often, the midfielders were thinking positively. Most notably, Juan Mata was instrumental, constantly looking to play forwards, attempting to get the attackers in behind.
It was his pass that found Rashford, who was there to tap home at the back post to give his side the lead. United began to look dangerous every time they went forward and soon added a second and a third. They were playing with pace and quality - Norwich simply couldn't deal with them.
Perhaps what was most impressive was that United were never content and were constantly looking to extend their lead. A ruthless display and fans will be hoping they can now kick on from this.
Manchester United have been nothing short of clinical today  #brunofernandes #Norwich #ManUtd

Mata is so so good in number 10 running everything. While Rashford on his 200 appearance is on course for 30 goals all competitions #MUNNOR

Starting XI: De Gea (6), Wan-Bissaka (6), Lindelof (6), Maguire (6), Williams (8), Matic (6), Fred (7), Pereira (7), Mata (8), Rashford (9*), Martial (8)
Substitutes: James (6), Greenwood (7), Gomes (6)
Not a bad way to mark your 200th appearance for your boyhood club, eh? Marcus Rashford was once again outstanding on Saturday, grabbing a brace to go with his tireless display. The England international drove at the heart of the Norwich defence every time he received the ball, constantly looking to make things happen.
He picked up an excellent position to give his side the lead, tapping home Mata's cross at the back post before he played a delightful through ball to Williams, who was brought down and awarded a penalty. Rashford stepped up and buried the spot-kick to give his side breathing room.
An inspiring performance and an outstanding talent.
He's an incredible talent and we're so lucky to have him. #Rashford

NORWICH
Norwich came into this game having failed to pick up a win in their last eight Premier League games. However, following his hat-trick against against Preston last time out, Adam Idah was rewarded with a start.
The Canaries saw very little of the ball in the early exchanges and after the first goal went in, fans will have been expecting some form of a response from their side - this did not come, however.
Instead, the Red Devils continued to dominate proceedings and apart from Cantwell's opportunity at the end of the first half, they struggled to really pose any threat going forward. Overall, it was a tame display that lacked any fight or spirit and, as a result, they were punished. They remain five points adrift of 19th placed Watford, having now played one game more.
#norwich have let everyone down tbh
— Adam Gardner-Walton (@ARKWalton) January 11, 2020
Starting XI: Krul (4), Aarons (4), Hanley (4), Zimmermann (5), Byram (4), Tettey (5), Vrancic (5), Buendia (5), McLean (4), Cantwell (7*), Idah (4)
Substitutes: Hernandez (5), Amadou (5), Lewis (5)
Nobody really stood out for Norwich on Saturday, with the Canaries being comfortably swept aside by a ruthless United.
However, Todd Cantwell once again proved why some of the top Premier League sides are targeting him. He worked tirelessly out of possession to support his defence and while he saw very little of the ball, he constantly looked to create an opening in possession.
A promising talent.
Manchester United return to FA Cup action on Wednesday as they host Wolves in a third round replay. They then travel to take on rivals Liverpool on Sunday.
Norwich, meanwhile, host Bournemouth in the league on Saturday before travelling to face Tottenham the following Wednesday.

Sr. Listing Agent/Broker
hen I was a kid, my parents for fun took me, an only child, to open houses weekend after weekend. My mom was always dreaming of her next new home and her dreams and wishes wore off on me as we walked though house after house with real estate agents. I'd come home with new construction floor plan flyers and then start drawing floor plans of my future dream homes. As I grew up and navigated my chosen career I always kept the dream of being an agent myself someday in the back of my mind.
My first career was human resources and my last HR role prior to becoming an agent was as an HR Manager/Diversity Manager at Microsoft for 11 years. I'm a true local having also enjoyed great HR careers at Starbucks and Eddie Bauer prior to that. I've been a highly successful agent at Windermere and Redfin with nearly 200 lifetime closings and am a technology aficionado! I believe my extensive people experience and negotiation of complex human situations uniquely positions me to handle all sides of a real estate transaction with grace and with a win-win approach.
I started my real estate career in 2011 during the banking crisis/short sale/foreclosure crisis. I learned real estate the hard way when families were losing or walking away from their homes and stressed about their financial challenges ahead. But that experience set me up for understanding real estate deeply, during the worst of times, and truly connecting with the real-life reasons people buy and sell homes. I have lived pretty much everywhere in the Puget Sound area now - Bellevue, Seattle, Redmond, Monroe, Snohomish, Sultan and there was a time before all my careers I was dirt broke, so, like my parents I started going to open houses for entertainment - hey, it was FREE! and what ensured was a PASSION for real estate both in terms of architecture appreciation but also in terms of really learning personally the journey from a person/family renting to the pride of home ownership. That's what happened at least for me when my agent helped us buy our first home after years of being broke - it transformed me!
My experience includes helping buyers and sellers with: Condominiums, single family homes, rentals, vacant land, new construction, and investors. In the past 8 years I've closed nearly 200 homes from Issaquah to Stanwood, Seattle to Index. Having lived in the area (Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, Monroe, Snohomish) for the past 30 years I know so many geographies very well. In fact, during my late 20's when I was living on a shoestring, I too started touring open houses for fun and all that driving around and looking at homes helped me know some neighborhoods in a way I couldn't have otherwise.
I'm also an accredited stager and can augment your existing décor to help you get the most for your home as well as provide contractors, cleaning and organizing advice and much more. Staging and organizing is a true passion area of mine - I love design! - and I keep a small inventory to help your home shine!
I hold three master's degrees, one in Organizational/System Change and two in Creative Writing (nonfiction/poetry) and a BA in Psychology. I love gardens, books, travel and cats. My teenage sons keep me on my toes.
Buying or selling a home is a milestone experience for most people and I will take you through it every step of the way. I pride myself on my communication and the project-management know how it takes to make your experience is a great one! Contact me for an easy, no-obligation conversation!

Marvel's 'Cloak And Dagger' Is A Coming Of Age Story To Get Behind
Familiar, not camp.
By Andre Grant
The Well 06.08.18
The premise is super familiar. Two teens, one Black and one white, coming from different sides of the railroad tracks in New Orleans. But there are complications. Tandy (Olivia Holt), our spunky ballet dancer, inherits a workaholic father and a mother addicted to painkillers. Tyrone (Aubrey Joseph), our hardscrabble kid, lifts a car stereo off a whip in the first ten minutes. The plotlines are decidedly familiar, reminding you of well-worn comic book tropes strewn throughout the zeitgeist. But they are familiar, not campy, granting enough cosmic twists to keep you engaged before you find out Holt and Joseph are magic together. Freeform seems to have done it again.
Tyrone, now grown into an angry, preening teen, and Holt, now herself a thief, switcheroo after tragic events force an evolution. That car stereo he stole ended up getting his brother killed after a run-in with police in the ninth ward. He falls off the dock and into the water, and Tyrone jumps in after him when, suddenly, an explosion knocks him out. He is, of course, extremely raw about his brother's death, highlighting the reality that Black children don't get treated well in situations with the cops. His brother's killer walks free after the accidental killing, too, in a storyline borrowed directly from the real world.
Tandy's mother doesn't show to pick her up from ballet practice, so she calls her father. He comes in from work, which we soon find out is at an offshore oil rig in Lake Borgne. A call about the rig distracts him long enough to make him swerve into the wrong lane. He over-corrects, plunking himself and Tandy into the Gulf while the same mysterious explosion eventually knocks her out and, somehow, allows her to survive.
From the outset, then, Tyrone and Tandy become children of this event, forever tied together without knowing it. And with the show's focus on issues like racism and police brutality, Cloak And Dagger feels like a nice entry alongside Netflix's Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
For Tandy, the world is full of easy marks as she plays her attractiveness for the silly-ass fantasies of young men. For Tyrone, the world is a minefield of decisions based on that car stereo that land him in stuck between his parents' lofty expectations, his own grief and rage, and his budding powers. It's no surprise that, for the Black teen, he's given the ability to render himself invisible and to teleport. For the white teen girl, her powers offer protection.
Yet the show doesn't slip into self-indulgence. There's a whole MCU out there it could have borrowed from, but it doesn't, allowing for deep character studies of Tandy and Tyrone. Tandy, her father's death hanging over her and her mother still addicted, finds herself ripping off rich kids and sleeping in an abandoned church. And Tyrone, a basketball player at an elite prep school and choir boy is in a castle of his parents making. By the end of the first episode, they find each other. But the show takes it slow, not jumping them into a partnership and romance at first blush (they are romantic partners in the comics).
Tandy, her father's death hanging over her and her mother still addicted, finds herself ripping off rich kids and sleeping in an abandoned church. And Tyrone, a basketball player at an elite prep school and choir boy is in a castle of his parents making.
Instead, they come into their powers. Tandy finds herself in the clutches of the kid she just drugged and robbed and escapes by manufacturing a weapon from out of nowhere. The sequence is beautiful, and she hightails it out of there.
We come to find out that running away is her thing, but there's also something else. She can feel the hopes of whomever she touches. She can't control it, but it's there. Meanwhile, Tyrone touches people and sees their fears.
By episode two, she needs to make a quick exit out of New Orleans. Her partner in crime, Liam, put his money and his love on the line for her, but she leaves him anyway. Tyrone, too, is put in a difficult position after he touches his mother and sees that she also isn't over his brother's death. After cloaking away from the same cop who killed his brother at the end of episode one, it becomes clear he wants to bring the guy to justice.
In a gorgeous climax, Tandy is on her way out of town (and betraying Liam) when Tyrone breaks down the cop's door to shoot him. His powers activate before he can let off a shot, and he teleports in front of Tandy who swerves and crashes. The two heroes find themselves together again, the universe at last pushing them together as a pair.
With Cloak and Dagger's intense storyline, you might mistake it for just another superhero drama ready to excoriate the characters on our behalf. But the show is more like a play, setting up Tyrone and Tandy to battle their own emotions rather than a central villain. In that way, the show really is like growing up; it's a coming of age story well worth your precious attention.
