NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- JCDecaux SA (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, announced today that its newly formed joint venture with Interstate Outdoor Advertising and its sister company, Foster Interstate, has signed a 20-year contract with the City of Chicago to operate 34 large (up to 1200 square feet) digital billboards with 60 LED-display panels along City expressways.
The Chicago City Digital Network is the US's first public-private partnership to create a large-scale digital billboard network on public land. It will serve as a communications broadcast system for emergencies, weather and traffic alerts, safety issues and cultural events while at the same time generating revenue for the City and providing advertisers the best locations along expressways to display messages on a real-time basis.
Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago said: "While the City continues to crack down on illegal billboards we are creating a billboard network with cutting edge digital technology that will allow us to better communicate with residents and travellers about important public safety announcements."
Jean-Francois Decaux, co-CEO of JCDecaux said: "Chicago is becoming the Silicon Valley of digital outdoor media. Ten years after winning the street furniture contract delivering prime audiences in downtown Chicago, JCDecaux, in partnership with Interstate affiliates, will develop and operate the best digital billboard locations along Chicago's busiest expressways, offering a one-stop solution for national and local advertisers in the third largest US market. Billboard advertising represents more than 60% of the US outdoor advertising market and digital billboards is the fastest growing segment. The Chicago City Digital Network will pave the way for JCDecaux to build more digital billboards on an organic basis in other US cities."
JCDecaux is the largest outdoor advertising company in the world and the market leader in Europe and Asia-Pacific. JCDecaux is listed on Euronext Paris and is part of the Euronext 100 and Dow Jones Sustainability indexes. JCDecaux, which first invented the concept of street furniture in 1964, is currently the only world-class player exclusively focused on outdoor advertising, pursuing a comprehensive range of activities in the areas of street furniture, transport advertising and billboard. Employing a total of 10,300 people, the Group has operations in 55 countries around the world (1,013,500 advertising panels), and is present in 3,700 cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants.


It's a warm morning in Southern California, and temperatures are expected to soar to nearly 100 degrees F as the day progresses. Yesterday we reached 104 degrees in my neighborhood, but it's a dry heat and a great excuse to enjoy cooking and eating in my outdoor kitchen. Sounds great, but then why am I at the Long Beach Airport heading to even warmer temperatures in Las Vegas, Nevada?
It's DevLearn 2017 travel day for me. Hundreds have already gathered at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas for preconference workshops, and thousands more of us are en route now for the main program that starts on Wednesday.

As a result of there are a number of different career and follow options in dentistry, practitioners can choose what kind of lifestyle they will lead and infrequently what hours and days they will work.
Go to a dentist often and care for issues as soon as potential. Those dentists used to imagine that sedation is unhealthy for teenagers, and most of us suffered so much pain. Tooth sensitivity is attributable to wear of the tooth or gum This oral illness could be brought on by publicity of the roots due to recession of the gums.
If you wish to search for a specialty dentist, akin to an oral surgeon or dentists who converse your language, develop the Additional Search Criteria and select choices that fit your wants. 5.Periodontics :-It's the examine dealing with the health and diseases of the supporting and investing structures of the tooth like the gums,periodontal ligament ,cementum and bone.

At Langley Physio and Massage Clinic, acupuncture is performed only by licensed physiotherapists and is included as part of a physiotherapy treatment.
Physiotherapists are able to provide dry-needling techniques (acupuncture/IMS) upon completion of a recognized post-graduate dry needling course. There are various schools of thought surrounding acupuncture, however, our therapists tend to use the needles to help release tension in soft tissue. By inserting the needles into particular trigger points, we are able to break up areas of muscular tension very specifically and effectively, from the inside out.
Although the needling techniques can be somewhat painful, most patients describe it as the "good" kind of pain and tell us that it is well worth it in exchange for the significant pain relief they experience. As always, your therapist will communicate with you and adjust the intensity of the treatment based on each person's individual tolerance.

This paper focuses on anomaly detection in user behavior. We present a review of our immunity-based anomaly detection system, and propose a framework of the immunity-based anomaly detection system with a new mechanism of diversity generation. In the framework, each computer on a LAN generates diverse agents, and the agents generated on each computer are shared with all other computers on the LAN. The sharing of agents contributes to their diversity. In addition, we propose an evaluation framework of immunity-based anomaly detection, which is capable of evaluating the differences in detection accuracy between internal and external malicious users.

Q: Android Integer as timer wait time I am trying to make timer wait time to change based on users selection. My timer is working but variable for setting time is not. Formula for waiting ime is ((60/bpm)*1000)-190 and for bpm=60 is give 810 which is correct but when I increase bpm to 61 in application forumla give -190. Why?
Timer code:
metronomepp.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
                Log.i("Metronome", ""+timetw);
                //timetw=810;
                if(isChecked) {
                    currentTask = new TimerTask() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            if (metronome.isPlaying()) { metronome.pause(); }
                            metronome.seekTo(0);
                            metronome.start();
                        }
                    };
                    myTimer.schedule(currentTask, 0, timetw);
                } else {
                    currentTask.cancel();
               }
        }
    });

Bpm increase and timetw change code:
    plus.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
                    bpm++;
                    timetw=(60000/(bpm*1000))-190;
                    Log.i("PlusTW", ""+timetw);
                    Log.i("PlusBPM", ""+bpm);
                    curbpm.setText(""+bpm);
            }
    });

A: Like njzk2 said, you can use floats, and then do Float.valueOf(float f).intValue(), which will coerce the float into an int by rounding and truncating. It should work well enough for your purposes.

Florida governor announces restaurants can operate at full capacity, effective immediately
Governor Ron DeSantis announced Florida will enter Phase 3 of reopening the state's economy.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Governor Ron DeSantis announced Florida will enter Phase 3 of reopening the state's economy.
Effective immediately, Gov. DeSantis announced Friday in his press conference in St. Petersburg that restaurants and select businesses can operate at full capacity.
Phase 3 of Gov. DeSantis' "SAFE. SMART. STEP-BY-STEP PLAN" ensures Floridians that restaurants can reopen at a minimum 50% capacity if the local government prohibits them from reopening at full capacity.
"Everybody has an opportunity and the right to work. Every business has the right to operate," said Gov. DeSantis said.
With Phase 3, Gov. DeSantis said he will no longer place limitations on businesses due to coronavirus concerns.
"There will not be limitations from the state of Florida," Gov. DeSantis said.
The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association (FRLA) President and CEO Carol Dover said the pandemic has caused 336,000 people in the industry to lose their jobs.
"The effects on the local and state economy have been significant. I want to thank Governor DeSantis and DBPR Secretary Halsey Beshears for their support as we have navigated this unprecedented time and for allowing us the opportunity to get back to work," Dover said in a press release.
The announcement comes just days after bars and breweries were allowed to reopen in Florida.
Florida's top business regulator Halsey Beshears announced just 15 days ago that the state is rescinding Executive Order 20-09. The executive order, issued earlier in the summer, suspended bars from serving alcohol on their premises.
Gov. DeSantis said if the local government wants to keep businesses from reopening at a minimum of 50% capacity, they must make their case to the state on why they want to place the restrictions and identify the costs involved.
Gov. DeSantis also announced on Friday that he's suspending all fines and penalties against people accused of not wearing masks.
FRLA is expected to unveil Gov. DeSantis' executive order on rolling out Phase 3 sometime Friday night.

1 Ich . . . mon. Wr translates this: "I heard men on the earth make much lamentation"; but Brown and Robbins, Index (§ 696), place the lyric in the category of poems beginning "Each": "Ich herdemen vpo mold make muche mon," or "Each herdman on the earth makes much lamentation." The manuscript reads, however, "Ich herde men."
4 synge. So MS, Sampson, and RHR; Wr syng.
5 Wr, Brandl, and Sampson begin the "song" -- with quotation marks -- with this line; quotation marks conclude with the end of line 20.
6 mi. So MS and RHR; Wr and Sampson my.
7 bid. So MS, Wr, and RHR; Brandl emends to bit.
12-13 the levest we leoseth . . . ther-ase lutel ys. These lines, and the two stanzas, are linked according to the prosodic convention of chain verse or concatenation. Stanza linking by concatenation occurs also in lines 20-21, 24-25, 48-49, 56-57, 60-61, 68-69.
15 The hayward. RHR comments: "The husbandman lists the officials who extort money from him: the hayward, a local official responsible for maintaining fences separating the common from enclosed lands; the bailiff, who enforced the law; the woodward, in charge of the forest timber; and the beadle (line 37), a warrant officer working under the bailiff" (p. 250). John Alford cites the following lines from Piers Plowman (C.13.45-47): "If þe marchaunt make his way ouer menne corne / And þe hayward happe with hym for to mete, / Oþer his hatt or his hoed or elles his gloues / The marchaunt mote forgo or moneye of his porse." See Robbins' Glossary, s.v. Haiward. For the tyranny of such local officials, see The Simonie, note to line 195.
19 me pileth. Ethical dative: "they rob."
22 en. Brandl emends to an.
24 is. Brandl emends to haþ.
25 See note to line 19.
26 me. So MS and RHR, in which case the sense is "steal from me." Brandl me[n], the sense being parallel to the ethical datives of lines 19 and 25, i.e., "they (men) steal." Wr and Sampson omit.
28 Thorh biddyng. MS bddyng; Wr, Sampson, Brandl, and RHR biddyng. Wr translates: "through asking of bailifs such harm has befallen them."
29 Meni. So Wr. Brandl interprets MS as Mem and emends to Men; Sampson Men.
33 Stont . . . stude. So MS and RHR; Wr and Sampson Stont fulle ythe stude. Wr translates: "He stands full in the place." This should be instead: "He stands quietly in the place."
37 bost. This word has at least two possible significations for this poem: "boast," "arrogance," on the one hand (MED bost senses 1 and 2), and "noise," "clamor," "outcry," on the other (sense 4[a]). For the latter signification, see Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, ed. Tolkien and Gordon, 2nd ed., line 1448: "Þat buskkez after þis bor with bost and wyth noyse," and PP C 16.89-90, ed. Pearsall: "And where be bettere to breke? lasse boest hit maketh / To breke a beggares bagge then an yren-bounden coffres." Pearsall glosses boest at 21.251 as "self-vaunting" (and see MED sense 1[c]). The MED traces this word to "AF bost boasting, ostentation (prob. from Gmc.: cp. MHG b_s swelling, Norw. baus haughty." See also MED boistous adj. senses 1 and 2.
38 grene wax. A seal of green wax was affixed to documents delivered by the Exchequer to sheriffs (OED). See note to line 55. Like Chaucer's Pardoner, who carries "our lige lordes seel on my patente . . . that no man be so boold . . . me to destourbe of Cristes hooly werk" (VI[C]337-40), the beadle carries this greenwax document as a sign of authority as he extracts taxes from the husbandman. Line 39 reminds one of the friar in Chaucer's Summoner's Tale, who announces names on the ledger as he tries to "collect" from his congregation + "lo! Heere I write youre name" (III[D]1752).
42 fyhsh. So MS and RHR; Wr and Sampson fyhshe. Brandl emends to fyshday.
and. MS and RHR &; Wr and Sampson ant. Also in line 44 and passim.
55 Thus. So the MS and RHR; Wr Ther (misreading the abbreviation).
the grene wax. Documents from sheriffs sealed with green wax struck fear and grief into those who received them ("us greveth under gore"). See also God Speed the Plough: "Then commeth the grenewex which greveth us sore, / With ronnyng in reragis [arrears] it doth us sorowe inough" (lines 69-70).
56 doth. Emendation of Wr, Sampson, and RHR; MS and Brandl deþ.
57 doth. MS and Wr doh; Sampson doht; Brandl doh[t]; RHR emends to doþ. The concatenated phrase in line 56 reads, in the MS, ase hound deþ [for doþ] þe hare.
58 tek. Brandl emends to tok.
59 Nabbeth . . . sulle. RHR comments: "Difficult: tr. The beadles have never told their giver (i.e., have never said who he was). Brandl reads fulle (possible in MS.), and so Sampson, who tr. have never suffered" (p. 250). Wr translates the line: "the beadles have never asked their . . ."
70 broke. So MS. Wr, Sampson, and Brandl brok; RHR brokes.
72 is. So MS, Wr, Sampson, and Brandl; RHR in (an error in transcription for is).
For ever the furthe peni mot to the kynge.
And weneth forte kevere, and ever buth a-cast.
Bote ever the levest we leoseth alast.
Baroun and bonde, the clerc and the knyht.
Falsshipe fatteth and marreth wyth myht.
That maketh beggares go with bordon and bagges.
That er werede robes, nou wereth ragges.
"Greythe me selver to the grene wax.
Mo then ten sithen told I my tax.
Feyr on fyhsh day launprey and lax.
Thah I sulle mi bil and my borstax.
Other sulle mi corn on gras that is grene.
Seith he wole mi bugging bringe ful bare.
Thah ich at the set dey sulle mi mare.
That me us honteth ase hound doth the hare.
For he may scape and we aren ever caht.
Forthi mi lond leye lith and leorneth to slepe.
When I thenk o mi weole wel neh I wepe.
For wickede wederes by broke and by brynke.

Voting, Counting and Results
The Report of the Commonwealth Observer Group for the Uganda Parliamentary and Presidential elections. The Group was led by Dame Billie Miller, former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados, and comprised thirteen eminent persons in total.
On Friday, 18 February 2011, Presidential and Parliamentary elections were held in Uganda. There were 23,968 polling stations set up in the 112 districts of the country. At many places, clusters of polling stations were set up within the same area, often a school ground or an open space, and designated as Polling Centres.

Last night before class started I walked with one of my classmates to Carl's Jr. for some dinner. He was telling me about his trip up to APU's main campuss in Azusa. When he was there he walked up to the theology department and looked in on all his professors' offices just to get a feel for their personalities, by looking in on the books on their bookshelf and the decorations in their windows. He noticed that many of the Theology professors had Obama stickers in their windows and many of the Biblical Studies profs had McCain stickers. I reflected with him on the irony there, the irony how different the Biblical Studies profs are than the Theology profs. I always did notice that Theology Professors at APU, with a few exceptions, have a much different perspective on life than those in the Biblical Studies department.
I have never had a problem with this contrast. To me it just shows that people can come to different conclusions through the same means. People can share the same convictions and still arrive at different opinions on how to accomplish things. It's quite a freeing revelation to me but my classmate would not agree.
He went on, "I am not going to do theology in my doctoral work."
"Why not?" I responded, worried that he would say just what I didn't want to hear.
"Because..." he said, "if someone could study theology for their whole life and come out as a democrat I wonder what they're studying." Pretty much what I did not want to hear.
Education, for me, has opened my mind to the variety of different views and has given me an appreciation for the merit in a variety of different views. How could someone who is almost finished with a Master's degree in theology, a degree in higher education, have such a low view of a perspective which actually, if examined, has been reached through a long process of research and exploration? How could someone see things so "black & white" anymore? How could someone who studies theology, someone who is far ahead of me in this program, still think that to be a Christian you have to be a Republican? What has he been studying? Is this program worth my time?
Good post. I am with you in that I love learning about different people's views. I think it gives great insight into what humanity has in common, which is oftentimes more than what people may think. I also have come to appreciate the merit of other people's views, beliefs, and cultures, etc. For whatever reason, it seems like it is difficult for certain people to reconcile their own beliefs (usually the religious beliefs) with the changing world. However, I feel that being educated on how other people think, feel, etc. can make one a better person because they are more understanding. It is also helpful because it allows one to better understand their own personal beliefs.


I am passionate about: Making a difference in the world, hopefully one laugh at a time.
I love problem solving, making things and learning as witnessed by my varied background in geology/oceanography, renewable energy engineering, climate change, environmental conservation, science writing/communication, picture framing, cold-process soap making and computerized map-making also known as Geographic Information Systems or GIS. My latest topics of interest? Statistics and design thinking.
I would like to focus on ways people are successfully adapting to the challenges climate change has imposed upon them.
Create a "Dueling Chefs" TV Show which pits multicultural chefs against each other to create healthier versions of traditional meals.
Create a game that allows users to see what different food and exercise choices would do to an avatar that looks a bit like them.
Hi Catarina, I like your idea. Unfortunately, I had some unexpected obligations come up so I haven't been able to participate in OpenIDEO for the past few weeks and I won't be free to move the "Dueling Chefs" idea forward. I added you to the "Dueling Chefs" team so at least you will be in the loop if someone else steps up to the plate. All the best.
Thanks, Allen - you, too!
Hello to all of those who have continued contributing even though I haven't had the time to participate - thanks for your input! I've added everyone who has commented to the team in case that is helpful for moving the idea forward. I apologize that I couldn't create the team earlier. Now that everyone is part of the team, if anyone wants to jump in to lead the idea forward, feel free!

About Wacken:
Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) is a summer open air heavy metal music festival. It takes place annually in the small town of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. With 80,000 festival visitors, and including personnel a total of roughly 86,000 attendees in 2011,[2] it attracts all kinds of metal music fans, such as fans of black metal, death metal, power metal, thrash metal, gothic metal, folk metal, and even metalcore, nu metal and hard rock from around the world.
The festival was first held in 1990 as a small event for local German bands. By 1998 the event had become the major festival on the European metal calendar and has included over 70 bands from all over Europe, North America and Australia. W:O:A is usually held at the beginning of August and lasts three days, during which the festival-goers camp on several large camping grounds surrounding the actual festival area. The 70 or more bands perform across four separate stages over the course of the event.
Since 2002, the Wacken Firefighters, the local volunteer fire department band, opens the festival.
The 2009 edition set a sales record when it sold out its 70,000 tickets by December 30, 2008, just 200 days prior to the festival.
