Erik Buell's Futuristic Electric Motorcycle 'Fuell' Unveiled
by: Sharai Hoekema March 19 2019
Erik Buell is a world famous motorcycle designer, often considered a pioneer of modern race motorcycle technology, who started off his career as an engineer for Harley-Davidson. From there, he started his own company - Buell Motorcycles - which was eventually, in a full-cycle moment, purchased by his former employer. Harley-Davidson was happy to leave him in charge, which ultimately resulted in a great new innovation being launched just the other week.
Prototypes Fuell Flow-1 and Fuell Fluid-1
With a lot of fanfare, Buell introduced his newest electric motorcycle brand, titled 'Fuell'. And it is not just the design that is extremely flashy and futuristic, the brand also stands out through its introduction of truly tech-infused electric bicycles. For this, Buell has partnered up with Formula-1 boss Frédéric Vasseur and VanguardSpark Motorcycles founder Francois-Xavier Terny.
The first two prototypes of this new electric motorcycle brand were already announced: the Fuell Flow-1 and the Fuell Fluid-1. While the Flow-1 is an actual electric motorcycle, the Fluid-1 is better classified as an e-bike, with its maximum speed of 32 or 45 km/h. Both vehicles would classify as those intended for urban mobility, so mainly meant for use within cities, due to their limited range.
The Flow-1 e-motorcycle will be released in 11kW (125cc) and 35 kW (motorcycle license) versions, both of which boast 50 liters of internal storage and an interesting series of innovations (such as a proprietary wheel-motor and a connected dashboard). The Fluid-1 e-bike, on the other hand, is equipped with two removable batteries adding up to 1,000Wh, allowing for a range of up to 200 kilometers. It will also be released in two versions, the Pedelec - with a maximum of 32 km/h - and the S-Pedelec - with a maximum of 45 km/h.
When asked for the vision of the Fuell brand, the founders are quick to point at the problem of the saturated cities - including massive issues with pollution, traffic jams and noise. Especially now that there are more and more cities implementing regulations that limits the use of internal combustion engines, e-alternatives are swimming in a blue ocean.
Urban mobility facilitated using e-bikes
Fuell is looking to offer a complete and unique selection of all kinds of two wheelers (fully electric, obviously) that are uniquely suited to cater to the market of urban "macro-mobility". This includes all kind of inner-city journals which require a personal vehicle to cover distances that are greater than 3 miles.
With this, the goal is to ultimately render cars useless for city-traffic, providing a sustainable and green alternative to the polluting four wheelers that are bound to clog up our highways and parking garages. At the same time, it could reduce the strain on public transport - currently overcrowded during rush hours with impatient commuters.
Riding electronically for more fun, freedom and emotion
With Fuell, the goal is to revive urban travel and inject it with a much needed dose of freedom and emotion. Riders will, as the company advertises, enjoy a truly unique e-riding experience that is different, innovative, upgradeable and attractive; perfectly in line with the needs of tomorrow's society.
The Flow-1 is set to be released in a few years, at a price of just under $11,000 - and the Fluid next year, at about $3,250. So pricing is pretty competitive, with various add-ons available as upgrades. Definitely something to watch out for in the upcoming years.

Abortion patient: Planned Parenthood sucked baby out with vacuum as medical waste
Posted in Abortion Regret with tags abortion regret, abortion stigma, boyfriend, Kimberly, Planned Parenthood, pregnant, Pro-Life, Threaten, under the Radar, video on November 11, 2015 by saynsumthn
A woman who said she was pressured into an abortion by her boyfriend, has uploaded a message of abortion regret, accusing Planned Parenthood of sucking out her child with a vacuum, calling it medial waste. The idea of regret from abortion is often denied by those who profit from killing preborn children in the womb.
In the video, the woman who identifies herself as Kimberly begins by saying she was told as a teen she would be unable to get pregnant. Kimberly says that despite what she was told, she found herself pregnant anyway. She then recounted her boyfriend's reaction when she told him,
"He told me he was going to push me down the stairs, that he hated me. Well, he would hate me if I kept the baby."
Feeling emotionally and financially incapable to care for a child, Kimberly said she made her way to a Planned Parenthood for the abortion. The 20-year-old, who said she never believed "abortion is for me" noted that she felt pressured into the procedure. Despite the pressure and threats from her boyfriend, Planned Parenthood was more than eager to take her money.
At 8 weeks, Kimberly received her state required ultra sound and then waited the required 24-hours to receive the abortion. Even at this point, as she awaited the procedure, she was very ambivalent recounting how the staff at Planned Parenthood repeatedly entered her room until she finally relented and had the abortion.
"When I got there I was still unsure about it but I decided to go through with it," she states in the video. "They had to come back like three times and ask me before I did it. I did it and the whole experience was very traumatic. I remember laying there and they injected me with the drugs. It happened so fast I couldn't really change my mind about it. I felt like it was the best thing to do for me. But, I feel differently now. I honestly feel like it was the worst mistake I ever made in my life."
Listening to Kimberly you get a sense that this abortion has so impacted her that she will live with regret for the rest of her life.
"It was honestly very traumatic for me. I think it is the worst mistake I've ever made in my life. And, I know I am going to think about this every day and I wish more than anything I wouldn't have done it. I feel like when I have kids in the future I'm still going to think about this," she says.
"I know that I thought before it was always a woman's choice, But, after I went through the experience and I experienced the guilt that I feel now, I think it's completely wrong. I would never suggest to a woman to do it – EVER!" she states.
It is at this point, that Kimberly turns her attention to exactly what Planned Parenthood did.
"I had life inside of me and they sucked it out with a vacuum – and it was medical waste. It was the worst mistake I ever made in my life…I'm not even sure how I going to live with the guilt that I did for the rest of my life…
"I wish more than anything that I wouldn't have gotten an abortion…I wish I wouldn't have let other people influence me to do it. I don't think any woman should do it, I think it's completely wrong.." Kimberly regretfully adds.
Kimberly tells her over three hundred thousand viewers that a preborn child has a heartbeat at 5 weeks,
"I mean how do you define if a person is dead or alive, by the heartbeat."
"If you're thinking about doing it [abortion] please please consider adoption…there is always a way."
Man arrested after pointing gun at abortion activist outside Planned Parenthood
Posted in AHA, Guns at abortion clinics, Pro-choice People, pro-choice violence with tags Abolitionist Society of Chicago, Abortion, AHA, arrest, Aurora, Aurora Planned Parenthood, Clifton Ratney, Gun, police, Pro-Life, Threaten, Troy Buccini on September 16, 2015 by saynsumthn
Chicago abolitionist Troy Buccini stands against abortion regularly outside the Planned Parenthood Aurora IL.
He calls out to men and women who come to the abortion business to kill their unborn children.
Over the weekend, 21 year-old Clifton Ratney, from Indiana who was escorting a woman into the Illinois Planned Parenthood pointed a gun at Buccini while he called out for the life of the child.
"My friends don't bring her before an assassin," he said as he called out to a man accompanying a women into Planned Parenthood.
"Come on down here sir. Come on, father to father sir," he said.
It was then that Buccini noticed that Ratney pulled out a gun – pointed it at him – and then walked into the abortion clinic.
That did not stop Buccini who kept on pleading that they turn around.
Buccini said that after the incident one of the pro-lifers called the police and the man was arrested.
He also said that, as a result, the unborn baby was spared for that day at least.
The Chicago Tribune later reported the Ratney was charged with misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon and disorderly conduct after locating the loaded gun in his waistband, along with 15 additional rounds of ammunition. The pro-choice man showed police a conceal and carry license which was not good for the state of Illinois where he used the weapon to threaten the activists.
Ratney was escorted out of the Planned Parenthood waiting room and arrested on scene. Despite the seriousness of the threat, Kane County State's Attorney's Office has denied any felony charges against the Planned Parenthood supporter.
There have been 2 other gun incidents outside abortion clinics in July where abolitionist and pro-life sidewalk counselors reaching out to women seeking abortion were threatened.
Bristol, Tennessee, police arrested Derrick Doss outside the Bristol Women's Clinic abortion clinic in Tennessee after he brandished a gun at pro-life demonstrators as he walked into clinic with his girlfriend, while, police in North Carolina refused to arrest another man who pulled out a weapon to threaten abortion abolitionists there.
Planned Parenthood supporter yells "Hail Satan" as police escort him out of meeting
Posted in Abortion Sacred, Pro-choice Hail Satan, Pro-choice People, pro-choice violence with tags All Hail Satan, City Council, David Gibbs, El Centro, El Centro Regional Medical Center, Hail Satan, Planned Parenthood, pro-choice violence, Pro-Life, Threaten, Vulgar, Walter Colace on March 10, 2015 by saynsumthn
A Planned Parenthood supporter, was asked to leave a city council meeting by police after a pro-life attorney accused him of threatening pro-life pastors, yells "All Hail Satan" as he is escorted out.
The backdrop takes place in California where, Planned Parenthood has been building a health center on Fourth Street in El Centro.
According to Christ Community Church pastor, Walter Colace, the El Centro Regional Hospital signed a transfer agreement for Planned Parenthood allowing them to move forward in opening an abortion clinic.
At least 2,000 people, angry that the hospital signed the agreement without any public input, gathered to express their concerns before the El Centro City Council.
Pastor Colace called the decision by the Hospital an "act of betrayal."
Also speaking before the council was Alliance Defending Freedom Attorney, David Gibbs, and president of the National Center for Life and Liberty.
During the speech Attorney David Gibbs asks the council to remove a man who he says was threatening the pro-life pastor.
According to witnesses from the church that were present, the threatening man was allegedly saying vulgar things while repeatedly using the F word.
His picture can be seen in the FB screen shot below circled in red.
As police escort the man out, you can hear him on the tape saying "All Hail Satan."
The accused pro-choice man, identified himself as Marcus Shapiro when he commented on a previous blog post about the meeting, denying he threatened anyone.
Shapior's vulgar comment – directed towards David Gibbs, read, "You have the whole show on video Mr. Lawyer… prove where I threatened anyone and I will suck your dick."
According to the Facebook page from the comment address, Shapiro is an avid Planned Parenthood supporter.
The words are difficult to hear so I confirmed the "Hail Satan" statement with locals who were present at the meeting. You can hear them at approx 2:20 in the video clip below:
An interesting post by Paper Blog written after this post was initially published pointed out the comments by Marcus tat I missed from the YouTube above.
The blogger also caught this:
Under a mock picture of Satan, Shapiro writes this on Facebook: "For those of you who may be concerned… I am not the anti-Christ nor do I worship the Devil. Do I like to stir the menudo? YES!"
Shapiro then admits to the Hail Satan statement, writing, "I yelled "Hail Satan" at a city council meeting where Heavy duty Church types were spazzing out on the city Council about a planned Planned Parenthood."
The use of the "Hail Satan" mantra is not new to abortion supporters. During heated abortion debates in the Texas legislature, pro-aborts in the Texas Capitol were Chanting "HAIL SATAN," as well.
Here a pro-choicer used a sign that said "Hail Satan, Abort Everyone."
Here a pro-choicer left an abortion clinics using the devilish chant.

Pro-choicer picks up a rock
Yesterday, pro-lifers outside the All Women's Health Center abortion clinic in Central Florida say they were threatened by pro-choicers. A Boyfriend at the clinic threatened to pummel them with a rock while another person did throw the rock.
According to Michele Herzog, a spokesperson for the pro-life group, "Today was the day of rocks at the AWHC abortion mill! From an abortion bound dad telling sidewalk counselor Barbara that he was going to throw a rock at her (until his girlfriend stopped him), to an irate abortion bound young woman threatening us and her friend picking up a rock and violently getting ready to throw it at us until we started calling for Melvin the security guard! God was watching out over us, but wow, was there a spiritual battle going on down at this killing center today!!!"
Pro-choice moves closer to pro-lifers with rock in hand
The group posted this on YouTube, "This morning [ May 20, 2014] started out with a couple that stormed into the mill, with the abortion bound dad coming out a bit later heading straight for the sidewalk counselor, he came out to tell her that he had picked up a rock on the way in and was going to throw it at her and the others, but his girlfriend made him stop….he then asked for one of the brochures and went back in. Later, a friend of an abortion bound woman who had just threatened us, picked up a rock, was yelling at us and was getting ready to throw the rock hard when we called for the security guard, she then threw it at us, but not as hard. Today was the day of the rocks!"
The group says the woman picked up the rock, walked over to them, and then stepped back and threw the rock. She then returned inside.

Pro-choice comedian tweets Pro-life teen: 'You should be murdered'

Pro-choice 'Comedian' Laura Levites who mocks Christians by tweeting things like, "When I get attacked by Conservative Christians I get great satisfaction knowing that they are praying to a Jew. #JewyJesus"
Then tweeted this, "These fuckin conservative Christian scumbags are really trying my patience #HobbyLobby Why can't Agent Orange be legal? #Abortioncare"
And then said, "no I just wish white conservative Christians were dead."
But when Pro-life teen Bethany Bowra tweeted, "Because murder should totally be legal, right?"
To which Levites replied, "You should be murdered"
here are a few more of her juicy tweets on abortion:
Laura Levites is a stand-up comedian from New York City.
According to her website, Laura Levites, "has toured with Lisa Lampanelli and was featured in Comedy Central's Meet the Creeps. Laura doesn't tell jokes. Her life is the joke. Laura's performances are brutally honest, biting, REAL. She embodies what great stand up should be: she's capricious, clever and socially relevant. Her first one woman show "How Did I Get Here?" premiered in 2011, at the Hollywood Fringe Festival and later went on to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it received 4 star reviews."
Several months ago, Levite sent out a threatening tweet to pro-life Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers who gave the official GOP response to President Obama's State of the Union Address, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) had a strong rebuke of the White House's record on jobs, and condemned the President for offering up what she called more empty promises when American's are desperate for results.
The tweet said, "I want to rip out the uterus of that pro life Cunt Cathy McMorris Rodgers and eat it, so I can see the surprised look on her frigid face."
Millions of Americans were touched when Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers called her Down syndrome child "a gift from God" in the Republican response to the State of the Union address, but one feminist comedienne wanted to reach out and touch Rodgers.
But Levites tweeted, "Dear God, please bring @cathymcmorris to your home. I'm gonna pray now, thank you. #SOTU"
She also tweeted this, "I want to make John Boehner get on his hands and knees and fuck him with my strap on. I'll let him use Obama as his safe word #SOTU"

Pro-choice man attacks anti-abortion protesters
Posted in pro-choice violence with tags Abolish Human Abortion, AHA, Anti-abortion, Gun, pro-choice violance, Pro-Life, Threaten on December 20, 2013 by saynsumthn
According to a member of the group Abolish Human Abortion (AHA), which seeks an end to legalized abortion, as they were speaking to a pro-choice man who was exiting an abortion clinic with a women in Oklahoma, the pro-choicer began to push, punch, and threaten them.
Video of the conversation that led to the assault was destroyed by the attacker but video of the attack was preserved and has been uploaded online.
On the video you can see the man punching AHA member Jeremy Brown. After the attack, Jeremy is heard telling the pro-choicer, "There's forgiveness in Christ."
The man then viciously attacks AHA member Toby Harmon, kicking and hitting him several times.
The video shows the pro-choicer stealing and destroying most the group's cameras and as he walks away he throws the camera at the group.
He then threatens them further by saying,"You're lucky I didn't have my pistol on me too, I would have shot [y'all now].."
Police were called, no word yet on an arrest.
Pro-lifers threatened by angry man outside abortion clinic

According to Pro-lifers in Central Florida, an angry man threatened to shoot them if they did not stop reaching out to the teen he was escorting inside the All Women's abortion clinic.
The pro-lifer wrote this on her facebook page, "This dad of an aborting teen screamed at me, "Just shut the **** up! Do you want me to f****** shoot you? Shut the **** up now! Do you hear me? SHUT UP!" The security guard heard his threat but didn't intervene. I had my video camera rolling in case he attempted to follow through with his threat. Were we afraid? Yes!! It was frightening! But we know God is in control so we will trust Him. WE NEED STRONG, GODLY MEN WITH US AT THE KILLING PLACE..He had just raised his hand like he was shooting a gun before I got this photo."
It is shocking that he security guard allowed such behavior. But Pro-choice violence is nothing new. Go to my blog here and click back for horrible stories.
The security guard spoke to the pro-life woman the next day. She writes, "Wow. Security guard just told me at All Womens that the guy who threatened to shoot me and Amber yesterday spoke to the police after we left & was thinking about pressing charges, saying we were harassing him. He told security guard & cop he never said he would shoot us; he said he would "sue" us. Ummm. No, he definitely said "shoot" and he even acted it out. (Watch video) In the end he chose not to press charges, but the cop said he would stop & talk to me today if I'm out here. Well I am out here. ::gulp:: Please pray for that interaction…if it happens."
UPDATE, also the very next day , the same pro-life woman was threatened again, "I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR F****** HEAD OFF!!!"-guy yelled at me as he drove past All Women's just now, swerving toward me to make me jump. The battle is intense, folks. Please pray and consider joining us on the frontlines."
It is also chocking that an adult male is bringing in a pregnant teen foe an abortion. This could be a sign that there was sexual abuse. I wonder if All Women's Health Center abortion clinic is reporting this to authorities as a mandatory reporter should.
According to the pro-life group, Life Dynamics, Inc., mandatory reporting statutes which require healthcare workers to report reasonable suspicions of child sexual abuse to the authorities are being ignored inside American abortion, Planned Parenthood and family planning centers.
According to Mark Crutcher, founder of Life Dynamics , "The abortion lobby is engaged in a pedophile protection racket and protecting pedophiles who rape underage girls. These abortion clinics receive money from the federal government. We are literally paying for the rape of our young daughters."
Life Dynamics studied this issue by analyzing several hundred instances in which older men were convicted of sexual crimes against minor girls. In an alarming number of these cases, there was a point at which the victims were taken for birth control, pregnancy tests, STD treatments and abortions – usually by the perpetrator – with no mandatory reporting made by those who provided the service. In almost every case, the sexual abuse resumed afterward and, many times, it would go on for years.
"You have to remember what's happening right there," Crutcher said. "You have an adult in a state talking to what they perceived to be a 13-year-old child who was a victim of sexual abuse by an older man and telling that child to lie about his age in order to conceal the crime. If you're a parent, especially if a father and you're not outraged then you don't have a pulse."
To test this further, Life Dynamics conducted an undercover investigation in which we called over 800 Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation facilities across the nation. The results of this survey were appalling. Even though many of these clinics openly acknowledged to our caller that this situation was illegal and they were required to report it to the state, the overwhelming majority readily agreed to conceal this illegal activity.
"When we began to investigate we found it was even worse than we thought it was. Initially we thought perhaps the abortion clinics were only reporting half of the incidents, but instead we found that they were reporting hardly any of them," said Crutcher.
To address the problem, Life Dynamics, Inc. has contacted over 53,000 personal injury attorneys to educate them about the pedophile protection racket being covered up inside these clinics.

Shopping For An RC Drone With Camera? Here Are Things To Know Before You Do.
Drones have really taken off and as people do their last-minute Christmas shopping, it is a time that is expected to see an unprecedented hike in the sale of drones. If you are thinking of buying a RC drone with camera, here are things to before you do.
That is very right. All drones are not easy to fly and if you don't choose well, you may end up buying something you can't fly. It is also important to know that anything whose main purpose is to fly will not be an easy thing to handle. Depending on how the flight controller has been set up on a particular drone, it will fly likewise. For example, while some are built to fly with more stability, others are built for agile movements.
You may well be looking for a simple and cheap RC drone with camera that you can have fun with flying around the house. Then you should not be really bothered about ''investment''. However, if you are looking to spend money on something more worthwhile and serious, then you should probably be making a significant investment on buying a good charger, a good controller, etc.
You want a drone but you don't know where to start looking. The good news is that there are plenty of places you can look at. First of all, there may be a local store near you. If that is not the case, look up online stores. There are many excellent online stores out there selling drones. They will ship just about anywhere as long as you pay for it.
Buying a drone is just the start. If you are really enthusiastic about drones and flying then you should definitely be a part of a drone community. The online world has a wealth of drone communities out there for you to join. While some are more general, others are based on a particular product or variety of drone. Being a part of a community will help you get answers to things you need to know but it is also important to know where you should post your question.

Synopsis: Adrift in misery, a heartbroken man lets the hitchhikers he picks up determine his direction and destiny. Everything changes when he meets a free-spirited woman who guides him on a journey of healing and self-discovery while hiding a secret of her own.
My love of film began when the lights were lowered in the theater and I saw my first film at age 5. In the room I shared with my older brother Dave, we pretended to watch movies as the headlights from passing cars danced across the walls, and we made up stories to accompany the lights.I grew up in a small, midwestern town on the edge of the great prairie in Wisconsin. I grew up knowing that feature filmmaking was the venue of Hollywood and the stars I saw on screen every weekend at our local Falls Theater for 25 cents. Yes, that cheap, and ten cent popcorn too. Prices were low because the proprietor owned several moneymaking theaters in nearby Minneapolis and St. Paul and wanted to give back by offering low, low prices in the town where he lived. Thanks, Stan.
Fifty years after seeing my first theatrical film, I was channel surfing around Thanksgiving of 2011, when I happened upon The Addiction starring Lilli Taylor and Christopher Walken. Taylor spoke a line that would keep me busy for the next two years, "He picks up hitchhikers and takes them wherever they want to go." I stopped in my tracks and turned off the TV. Who would become a taxi driver for hitchhikers? My head began to spin with the possibilities and, for the next few weeks, I jotted down ideas about characters and story. When New Year 2012 arrived, I blasted through the first draft of the screenplay in five days. I knew this would be a film that could be produced with a small budget and a local crew. I was confident that it could also attract a talented cast and financing.
When James Kyson ("Heroes") signed on as our lead, I knew we had something special. Then Lisa Goldstein Kirsch ("One Tree Hill") signed as Autumn, and I felt that somehow karma had taken over and all those dreams spawned in the darkness of the Falls Theater were somehow taking new life. My favorite memories of shooting Don't Know Yet center around relationships more than scenes, outtakes, or funny anecdotes from filming. I like to remember James' good humor working with child actors in the crazy-fantasy scene in Marilyn's apartment. He became a different person and relaxed into a silly scene where his romantic, wounded persona was stretched to reveal his comic, playful side. He embraced the child actors with a love and respect that made them bond to him like an uncle.When Lisa Goldstein Kirsch arrived on set, she immediately became the darling of our crew. Always the first person to arrive each morning, she was the consummate professional. I was awed how well she was prepared for each scene – memorizing pages of dialogue and the nuances of each beat. She knew the script better than me. Despite rain, heat, bugs, and discomfort, Lisa brought a big smile everyday. Our supporting cast simply amazed me. David Andrews, "Swag," who has appeared alongside some of the biggest names in the business, (Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Spacey), embraced his role so completely that he wrote his own scene – one of the funniest in the film. I can't thank him enough for diving in headfirst. Wilmington, NC-based character actors Shane Callahan and Cullen Moss as the "beardheads," were always my first choice for those roles, having witnessed their body of work over the years. I was thrilled when, at the last minute, a previous commitment involving both of them fell through and they became available. Bill Ladd as Ron, and Jane McNeil as Roberta, were my "dream couple" in those roles. Vaughan Wilson as Jubal Creek, Amber Sheets as Emily, Kim Sampson as Marilyn, and Tammy Arnold as Tammy, completed what I see as the best cast one could have at any budget level.
The 17-day shoot could not have happened so smoothly without a very talented and young crew of professionals – all of whom graduated from the Film Studies program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Production Designer Natalie Taylor Smith; Director of Photography, Joe Ensley, who has gone on to film the 2013 America's Cup races; Editor Nate Daniel, a prolific filmmaker in his own right; and veteran post-production sound genius, Alex Markowski, provided the core creative team that brought the story from script to screen. Regional musicians, all friends, or friends of friends, provided a film score that is second to none.
The entire process from first words on paper to completed feature film took one year. I like to think of the final product as a feel-good road movie. Where the viewer grows their soul alongside Taylor and Autumn on a journey where everything is on the way to somewhere else. There is no destination on this road trip – just like love – we never know what's around the bend, but we're better people for taking the journey together.

Le Star 944 est un camion polonais fabriqué entre 2000 et 2006 par Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych "Star".

Historique

Le Star 944 est présenté en 1999. La production en série commence un an plus tard. Il est le successeur du Star 744 et remplace en partie le Star 266.

Star 944 Hiena

En 2004 commencent des travaux afin de moderniser le Star 944 pour les besoins de l'Armée polonaise en Irak. La nouvelle version adaptée aux conditions de guerre est désignée Star 944 Hiena.

La modification principale consiste à équiper le camion de mitrailleuse NVS 12.7 Utes. La mitrailleuse est fixée sur la partie avant de la caisse, un siège pour le tireur a également été monté ainsi que des fixations pour des caisses de munition. En outre le Star 944 Hiena est adapté pour transporter un groupe de soldats. En arrière de la caisse deux bancs sont mis en place (dos à dos). Afin d'assurer une protection contre les mines, les éclats et les tirs d'armes légères, le camion est partiellement blindé (en utilisant l'acier et des matériaux composites). Le fond de la caisse, la cabine et les portières reçoivent un revêtement anti-éclats LIM-33. Pour finir le Star 944 Hiena est peint en camouflage du désert.

Star 944P
Le Star 944 est une version dotée d'un blindage conforme au niveau 1 de STANAG 4569. Ce modèle a été construit aux Ateliers techniques de Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki dans les années 2007-2008.

Fin 2007 le prototype a été soumis aux tests à l'Institut militaire technique des automobiles blindées (Wojskowy Instytut Techniki Pancernej i Samochodowej) à Sulejówek. Les résultats des tests sont satisfaisants. La résistance balistique du véhicule a également été vérifiée.

Which structures for XeO3 and XeF4 are consistent with the Vsepr model?
The central Xe atom in XeO3 has three bonding domains and a lone pair of electrons. Therefore, the electron geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is pyramidal.
b The shape of XeO3 is Trigonal Pyramidal.
The hybridization of XeO3 is sp3.
– Due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom of xenon, there is a repulsion between lone pairs of electrons and bonding pairs in the molecule. So the trigonal planar geometry is distorted to form a pyramidal geometry. – Therefore the geometry of $Xe{{O}_{3}}$ is pyramidal. So the correct answer is "Option C".
Xenon trioxide is an unstable compound of xenon in its +6 oxidation state. It is a very strong oxidizer and slowly releases oxygen from water, accelerated by exposure to sunlight.

Step-by-step solution provided by experts to help you clarify & Achieve excellent grades in exams.
This means that there are a total of three bond pairs and one lone pair.
The XeO3 molecule would be polar because it contains three polar Xe-O bonds arranged asymmetrically around the central Xe atom (i.e. the bond dipoles do not cancel but add to a net molecular dipole with the Xe atom at the positive end).
Due to the presence of a lone pair, its geometric shape is trigonal-pyramidal.
Trigonal pyramidal geometry is also shown by molecules with four atoms or ligands. The central atom is at the apex and three other atoms or ligands are at a base where they are in the three corners of a triangle. There is a lone pair of electrons in the central atom.
Because the shape of XeO3 is trigonal-pyramidal, Option A will not adjust correctly.
No monovalent group attached to the central atom since O is a divalent group. So the hybridization of Xe in XeO3 is sp3 .
XeO3 has a pyramidal structure that can be explained on the basis of sp3 hybridization of Xe valence orbitals.
If it's 4, your atom is sp
If it's 2, your atom is sp.< /ul>
Therefore its shape is 'trigonal pyramidal' as shown in the figure.
xeo3 is an unstable compound of xenon in its oxidation state +6 . It is a very strong oxidizer and slowly liberates oxygen (and xenon) from water, accelerated by exposure to sunlight. It is dangerously explosive on contact with organic material.
Answer and Explanation: Based on the molecular geometry of XeO3 X e O 3 , which is a trigonal pyramid, the molecule has a net dipole moment directed towards the lone… See full Answer below.

Actress and Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman is set to help break ground today on a new centre located in San Francisco to combat violence against women, part of an initiative between the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and Family Violence Prevention Fund.
According to UNIFEM, data suggests that up to 70 per cent of women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence from men in their lifetime.
"There is no doubt that ending violence against women remains an urgent issue and belongs on centre stage," says Ms. Kidman, who has served as Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM since January 2006.
"Solutions require action and investment, and strong partnerships like the one we're announcing today between UNIFEM and Family Violence Prevention Fund," she added. The latter works to prevent violence within the home and in the community and to help those whose lives are devastated by violence.
Among its activities, the new International Centre to End Violence aims to serve as a crossroads where activists and leaders from across the globe meet to share experiences and lessons that advance policies and solutions to end violence against women and children.
"We are proud to be a partner to this path-breaking global centre. It will be a space which will open doors to many whose voices are yet unheard, where practitioners, activists and survivors will share and learn from each other, and contribute to solutions on the ground," said Inés Alberdi, UNIFEM Executive Director.
Also expected to participate at today's groundbreaking ceremony in the city's Presidio National Park are Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; Joe Torre, Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and founder of the Safe at Home Foundation; and Esta Soler, President of Family Violence Prevention Fund.
The United Nations kicked off a campaign today mobilizing people around the world to take part in a drive to stop the pandemic of violence suffered by women at the hands of men.

To those who are familiar with statistics generally, the concept that the Browns would want a larger sample for their potential franchise quarterback isn't tremendously difficult to grasp. But it was still a pleasant surprise to see someone in the larger draft community weave this thinking into his analysis, especially when some mock drafts still forecast the Browns to make terrible strategic decisions from an analytical perspective, including taking a running back in the middle of the first round.
We know that bigger is better when it comes to sample size, and various models, including Football Outsiders' QBASE – developed by now Browns' senior strategist for player personnel Andrew Healy – have shown that quarterbacks with longer college careers are more likely to be successful in the NFL. But is there a way we can truly peel apart the analysis and see the nuts and bolts of why this is so?
I wasn't sure the best way to do it, until I came across a post by ESPN's Brian Burke using Bayesian inference to estimate how much Jimmy Garoppolo's highly-efficient but small sample of NFL attempts matter for projecting his future performance. Burke didn't give away the secret sauce of his analysis, but after playing around with some different bayesian distributions, I believe I can replicate his thinking using Bayesian updating of the normal distribution.
First, let's go into a little background. The most common form of statistical analysis is frequentist inference, which in layman's terms means we base our analysis and derive our insights strictly from the evidence. Where Bayesian statistics is different is that we also give weight to our beliefs before any evidence is collected. This is what we call our prior.
You can see why this would be useful in football analysis where we're long on domain knowledge, but often short on sample size. Using frequentist inference, we often come away from an analysis without the ability to draw a statistically significant conclusion. In Bayesian statistics, even the smallest sample can be used to update our prior, but it won't have as much influence as a larger sample.
Let's get out of Stats 101 and use Bayesian updating to look specifically at Watson vs. Trubisky. Both players were fairly efficient passers throughout their college careers, each averaging roughly 8.4 yards per attempt. Should we assume if they both continued their college careers they'd be roughly equivalent passers going forward?
The answer is no, and it's because Watson's sample of pass attempts is more than twice that of Trubisky's. Ignoring the fact that Trubisky threw almost all of his passes at an age when Watson will be playing in the NFL, we can show with Bayesian updating that Watson's larger sample has a larger effect on our prior (an average CFB quarterback) and gives us more confidence of how efficient he will be going forward.
Below is a visualization similar to the one in Burke's Garoppolo article with our mean (red) and standard deviations (+1 in green, -1 in blue) for expected yards per attempt. Our posterior for pass efficiency moves higher as we add more attempts at an average of 8.4 yards per attempt. The two vertical lines mark the career pass attempt numbers for Trubisky (572) and Watson (1207). You can see that new evidence does most of the heavy lifting in the first 500 attempts, so Trubisky's efficiency shouldn't be seen as a fluke. That said, there is a meaningful difference in our expected mean efficiency going forward, even more so on the downside as the gap is wider between our posteriors for a standard deviation below our mean. It's also important to note that these posterior distributions apply to what we believe the quarterbacks' true passing efficiency is in the college game, not what it will be in the pros.
Another way to look at exactly how we updated our distributions is to see how our prior normal distribution with a mean of 6.8 yards per attempt and a standard deviation of 1.0 (based roughly on the average number for a CFB quarterback in 2016) was updated for Trubisky and Watson, specifically using 572 attempts at a mean of 8.3 and 1207 attempts at a mean of 8.4, respectively.
For both Trubisky and Watson, our distribution curves are more narrow, meaning there is more certainty about how they will perform going forward than there would have been if we simply picked a quarterback at random and threw them onto the field. What you'll also notice is that Watson's distribution is materially skinnier and taller than Trubisky's. Watson's additional attempts moved his posterior expectation of pass efficiency 0.2 yards per attempt higher than Trubisky's, and they also give us more certainty that his performance won't fall.
Perhaps a slightly move intuitive way to compare the two posterior distributions is visualizing the cumulative distribution function. What this shows is the cumulative probability (y-axis) that the quarterback's pass efficiency will be below a certain yards per attempt (x-axis).
Watson has Trubisky beat along almost the entire distribution, with Trubisky having an negligibly higher probability of an outlier outcome to the upside – a surprising benefit of the fact that we have less certainty in his results. What's more interesting to me is analyzing the respective downsides. The probability that Watson's true pass efficiency is below 8.0 yards per attempt is less than 20%, while for Trubisky it's nearly 50%.
This analysis doesn't come close to proving that Watson is a more efficient quarterback than Trubisky. It also doesn't incorporate scout assessments or Watson's less-than-stellar ball velocity numbers from the NFL Combine. But it does give a window into how sample size should guide our analysis, and why the fact that Trubisky didn't start until his redshirt junior year isn't just a negative narrative. It's reasonable to say that we have more certainty on Watson's true college passing efficiency than Trubisky's, and that should be considered when using yards per attempt in forward looking models projecting NFL success.

Best and worst trade deadline deals in Red Sox history
By Justin Leger
The Red Sox have an important decision to make with the July 31 trade deadline rapidly approaching.
Will they continue to part ways with prospects to address their current needs? Will they opt to stand pat after dealing for starter Andrew Cashner earlier this month? Or, will they decide now is the time to sell and replenish their farm system?
If the Red Sox do make a move, it'll be interesting to see how it compares to some of their past deadline deals. They've nailed some of them, but also have seen some of their decisions in late-July come back to bite them.
Let's take a look back at some of the best and worst trade deadline deals in Red Sox history. .
July 31, 1997: Red Sox trade RHP Heathcliff Slocumb to Mariners for RHP Derek Lowe and C Jason Varitek
The best Red Sox trade came at the 1997 deadline when Boston dealt a mediocre reliever for its future captain and a key contributor to the pitching staff. Acquiring Varitek and Lowe from Seattle not only was the greatest steal in Sox history, but also one of the biggest in the history of MLB.
July 1, 2014: Red Sox trade LHP Rich Hill to Angels for cash
Giving up Hill didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but the 39-year-old has been great since Boston traded him for virtually nothing in 2014. The Red Sox acquired him again in 2015, but he appeared in only four games that season.
Hill went on to enjoy success with the Athletics and Dodgers and continues to produce at a high level.
July 31, 2004: Red Sox trade SS Nomar Garciaparra, LF Matt Murton to Cubs, receive SS Orlando Cabrera (from Cubs), 1B Doug Mientkiewicz (from Twins)
In a four-team deal that shocked the baseball world, the Red Sox parted ways with their superstar shortstop Nomar Garciaparra for Orlando Cabrera and Doug Mientkiewicz.
Although they gave up an icon in Nomar, the trade worked out for the best. Garciaparra never was the same player after leaving the Red Sox, and defensive wizards Cabrera and Mientkiewicz both played roles in reversing the curse and bringing a World Series trophy to Boston for the first time in 86 years.
July 31, 2007: Red Sox trade OF Engel Beltre, P Kason Gabbard, OF David Murphy to Rangers for RP Eric Gagne
The Red Sox thought they were acquiring one of the best closers in baseball when they traded for Erc Gagne at the 2007 deadline. Instead, Gagne went on to have by far the worst season of his career.
Gagne posted a 6.75 ERA in 20 appearances with Boston. While Beltre and Gabbard didn't amount to much, Murphy proved to be a consistent contributor in the Rangers' offense for years to come.
It all worked out in the end for the Red Sox, however, as they went on to win the 2007 World Series.
July 31, 2004: Red Sox trade OF Henri Stanley to Dodgers for OF Dave Roberts
You know the deal with this one. Stanley never panned out, and Roberts stole second in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS and changed the course of Red Sox history.
July 31, 2014: Red Sox trade LHP Jon Lester, OF Jonny Gomes and cash to Athletics for OF Yoenis Cespedes
Boston parted ways with Jon Lester in the final year of his contract to acquire slugger Yoenis Cespedes, and that turned out to be a regrettable move.
Cespedes was less than stellar in his brief stint with the Red Sox, and Lester opted to sign with the Cubs over his former team in free agency.
July 30, 2013: Red Sox trade SS Jose Iglesias to Tigers, receive RHP Jake Peavy from White Sox in three-team deal
The Red Sox gave up a prized prospect and talented shortstop in Iglesias, but Peavy was a proven veteran arm that turned out to be a major contributor to their 2013 World Series run.
July 29, 1988: Red Sox trade OF Brady Anderson, RHP Curt Schilling to Orioles for RHP Mike Boddicker
The problem here wasn't Boddicker, who actually played well for the Red Sox during his three seasons in Boston. It was they gave up a Hall-of-Fame caliber arm in Schilling and a prospect in Anderson who blasted 50 homers and for the O's in 1996.
Boston made up for the blunder by re-acquiring Schilling in 2004, but it makes you wonder what could have been had he been a member of the Red Sox during his prime years.
August 30, 1990: Red Sox trade first baseman Jeff Bagwell to Astros for RHP Larry Andersen
The worst trade in Red Sox history didn't happen before the July 31 non-waiver deadline, but it still needs to be mentioned.
A year after drafting Bagwell, they sent the Boston native and future Hall-of-Famer to Houston for a 37-year-old reliever. This trade didn't seem like a big deal at the time as Bagwell was a so-so prospect and the Red Sox needed bullpen help, but the Astros legend went on to hit 449 career home runs with a .948 OPS. Andersen appeared in only 15 games with the Boston.
Hindsight is 20/20, but this is a tough one to look back on.

Collide with me and I will be more productive ; interrupt me and I will be less so.
An interesting article in the HBR recently ( https://hbr.org/2014/10/workspaces-that-move-people ) discussed how workspaces are changing and becoming 'cathedral's of faith', as employees are moved into environments where 'the best decisions are made in hallways and cafeterias". A quote in this very readable and thought provoking article comes from Samsung Semiconductors as they discuss their new US HQ building which is designed to "spark not just collaboration but that innovation you see when people collide. I reflected that as the shift towards new ways of working creates a workspace setup to encourage 'walk by collisions' to drive the way 'we do business', then the mind-sets of the worker will need to go through some level of evolution above the physical environment. In fact, attention to the mind-set will be paramount. The word collision an interesting one, given the connotation of a collision is not always a good thing, and that for many, the thought that colliding with a colleague in an open working environment being a good thing, may give up different impressions of conflict and disharmony. Why ? Well because for the majority of us ( sweeping statement I accept ) the hard wiring of our brains actually avoid collisions at all costs due to deep routed traditional ways of working and insular appreciation of collaboration. Despite all the physical changes that new ways of working introduces – spaces, facilities, technology – the transition of the mind-set is often the most overlooked ( or just plain assumed ) aspect. Of course, I imagine Samsung like many other large technology biased organizations find the immersion of new ways of working a lot easier than perhaps in a mid size engineering firm, a hospital ward or legal practice, where technological cultures are less ingrained in the workforce. I sense that before an organization reaches this 'collision drive positive hallway idea generating culture' there is a fundamental element of the average working day that needs addressing – how do we coach our people to 'manage interruptions' before they can 'embrace collisions'? It may come as a shock but we cannot multi-task. Forget whether its a man thing or a woman thing. It's a brain thing. Or more accurately, a mindset thing. Over the decades technology has slowly given us this background of interruptive workplace experience. It probably started way back with the invention of the telephone, the electronic calculating machine, typewriters, mainframes, PCs, the web and so on. At each technology wave our propensity to be interrupted turned up a notch. And it was all good so what's the problem? Well the problem is our brains. The brain is easily wired into set patterns and procedures as we strive to understand what we need to do at work, and quite easily as groups of workers we are driven to following what everyone else does. Of course as we know the last twenty years has seen such an explosion of technological advancement the 'norm' has been destabilised to the extent that workers are now exceptionally individualistic in how they choose to set up their approach to the working day. The automation of tasks has been breath-taking as the software has removed significant manual effort thus freeing us with more 'thinking' time. A key change because our minds ability to take in new processed information is limited. Automaticity gives us more headspace. Automaticity however also increases our interruption attack surface because we convince ourselves we can 'do more' so juggling interruptions is 'part of the job so bring them on'. However, when people are constantly interrupted, they develop a mode of working faster (sending more emails, kicking off more IMs, ringing more people, leaving more messages) to compensate for the time they know they will lose by being interrupted. Yet working faster with interruptions has its cost: people in the interrupted conditions experienced a higher workload, more stress, higher frustration, more time pressure, and effort. So interrupted work may be done faster, but at a price. Interruptions lead people to change not only work rhythms but also strategies and mental states. Another possibility is that interruptions do in fact lengthen the time to perform a task but that this extra time only occurs directly after the interruption when reorienting back to the task, and it can be compensated for by a faster and more stressful working style. And of course our happy bedfellow called technology sits there and allows us to soak up all this speed and pressure by giving us little 'how can I help' moments designed to make us manage interruptions smarter. We convince ourselves that because the 'tech' gives us multi-channel ways to communicate we believe we can compensate for lost time by utilising simultaneous methods to catch up on time we have lost. We take advantage of time saving tips and tricks, often based in software, to help us manage calendars, To Do lists and team priorities. For some though, even these time saving 'applets' can become a significant interruption themselves. And of course, all of this can be now be achieved from the comfort of the beanbag or coffee lounge that you call 'your desk'. The problem is that our brains are still sufficiently hard wired to work the way we used to when we had more structured working days, where technology was quite analog, communications were manageable and the working day was more set to static hours where we came to work and then left for home. Sure some of us have embraced the 'change' and have completely rewired our brains to become the 'techno' worker, content to work in any environment, slipstreaming multiple communications and information flows. However, mixing the hard and rewired brains together doesn't always work – quite often across teams, business divisions, and as individuals too. No matter what technology we are using. As we are presented with open and collaborative tools and workspaces there is a great chance that without discipline and rigour our working day will be interrupted whilst we feel we are being super efficient because its the cool thing to do. It was Alan Turing ( when not solving code breaking challenges ) who talked about that 'computer algorithms' will never replace intuition, and our ability to pull facts from the morass of data, documents and information that surrounds us like quick sand. Just having a device ( or cloud ) that can access things faster and continuously is not making us smarter workers. No its our ability to make sense of things. How we observe events around us, and interpret how we as individuals, and as team players, make us of resources to achieve tasks. The quality of our minds is now the big deal and in this new ways of working paradigm shift, it will become one of the most important assets a HR department can focus on. Allowing our workers to think conceptually, critically, metaphorically, speculatively, spanning conscious and unconscious cognition, reason and inspiration will be hugely exciting. Of course this is what Samsung and others especially people like Google have set their hope on. I am not an expert but I pretty much guarantee its a lot more than having the latest' tech' , pleasant surroundings and flexible working policies. Having the right mind-set is too often overlooked. I believe in 2014 we are still living through the transition from 'old school ways of working' to 'new ways of working', and that we have probably one or two generations to go through to get to a place where 'we can collide' and spark in such a subliminal unconscious way that turns us all into the empowered workforce that our bosses dream about. For the first time ever, our brains have to cope with a level of interruption unparalled in the ways we work. Everything is changing – technology, business process, buildings, communication policies, culture ethos – and mould them into an 'tightly coupled' experience. Yes tightly coupled because being honest, technology has allowed us to believe that because we are now 'free' to make choices each working minutes of the day, and this 'loosely coupled' approach does not sit well with the majority of the workforce today. Losing concentration is the real killer for the modern worker who thinks that their brain is suitably wired to cope with a multi-channel feed of information. Incorrect. The more we allow our brains to consume information the more we distill our capability to complete even the most simple tasks. And you know the problem? No one has coached us to work in these new environments. They just thought we 'would pick it up' and become super efficient. What has happened is that the 'leaders' have noticed the 'brain rewirers' ( perhaps it is them ) and took that to mean everyone has got it. Employee engagement surveys may have had the immediate impact as the worker applauded the change to their working environment, but if someone had looked under the hood to how interruptions and collisions were being managed, they would often get a different outcome. I applaud those organizations who are 'creating' experience coaches' people who have pragmatic and mindful ways about them to sit with someone even for 5 minutes, and 'engage them' into how to use their workspace ( and headspace ) to its fullest extent. You see for a lot of 'hard wired' people there is a problem. They don't like to admit they don't understand how to use all the 'new stuff' and by stealth manage to get under the radar and still behave like they always did. Look at the modern car. Or smartphone. Most people still only use the bits they used to use before and never really get the 'experience coaching' they really need to maximise their enjoyment. Perhaps the next wave of worker – the millennials- will overcome this because they have the layers of interoperability ingrained in their psyche from the off and do not need 'coaching' like we do. Watch a teenager bounce interruptions to their day with commensurate ease, using multi-channel feeds, operating a range of devices and you see that they have suppleness in their minds to receive, process and discard information at a level that far surpasses our own. Maybe the answer is that any organization embracing a better ways of working strategy should appoint 'young coaches' – people with soft wired brains who can coach those with hard wired brains to manage all the change around them and build mechanisms to cope with interruptions successfully, whilst immersing themselves in the collisions. Brummie.
Isn't it amazing how every day words are now used in such casual ways these days to describe technology. I mean look at how we as an industry have taken the word cloud and built unbelievable momentum – both real and completely made up. TV programmes and Hollywood films now use cloud in the context of technology as if it has been the only way to describe computing.
Now let me give you a couple of 'new' words that are also just plain old every day (non technical ) yet to me represent perfectly the subtle differences in how a modern worker accesses their 'stuff', and how the people making the big decisions need to consider whether their strategies are landing correctly. The words?
Both words may make you think about 'tight jeans' or 'tight spot', or loose floorboard or loose tooth', but I would like to think about your day at work, and think about the way you access information.
Think about the devices you may use during the working day – and perhaps at home, during social time, as you sneak a few 'work' minutes under the radar from your family.
Think about how you ask for support from the company you work for when things go wrong. Your interaction with the service desk and their knowledge of your surroundings and requirements.
Think about the application you use the most every day and how you interact with it, such as, how you log on, how you find data you need, how you add data and how you share data.
Now think about your mindset as you do all these things. Are you positive and productive? Are you negative and frustrated? Bit of both right? Perhaps you are better when you work alone, as you find the 'tech' is a barrier when working with colleagues who are using different 'tech'.
You see we are all spending our days switching from a loosely coupled experience, and a tightly coupled experience. Every minute of the day. All of us. Some work in very tightly coupled environments all day, perhaps in a small office where all the workers sit round the same desk. Or some of us travel considerable distances and rely on loosely coupled environments to 'do our work' And a lot of us mix all of these environments together as we strive to communicate and collaborate with more people, using more 'stuff' and ideally, doing it smarter.
Let me explain a little more about 'coupling'.
Being tightly coupled represents an experience where you are immersed in your company's technology. For example, you are tightly coupled as you walk into the office and begin the coupling experience as you swipe into the building. As you logon to the network. When you open corporate applications to communicate with colleagues and clients. When you print. When you search for documents on the company intranet. And for this, the IT organization has a whole host of hardware, software and services to ensure you stay tightly coupled, because they know ( quite rightly ) they have a great chance to deliver an optimized service, protect you and therefore the company from security threat, provide you with key services when you need them, and ensure that all the IP produced by you and colleagues ends up on company disks' so they can back up and protect the business asset. All those systems of record evidence this tight coupling as they direct you to use their disks and application interfaces to record vital corporate information that is necessary to run the business – ERP, Finance, HR and so on. Security layers keep you channeled into places where your activity is monitored and recorded for audit processes, and where service desks can identify you and resolve issues based against your tightly coupled configuration.
On the flip being loosely coupled represents an experience where you are immersed in your own technology. For example, you are loosely coupled as you take out your corporate supplied smartphone and check Facebook or Twitter. Again, as you use your own equipment to access a corporate application, say your email or a CRM app, you are experiencing loose coupling. Or if you are 'allowed' (who can stop you ? ) to store work in progress into a free cloud storage platform. Or it may be a simple project sharing tool that you and colleagues use to spin up fast project workgroups. These systems of engagement are more about your experience and because of the nature of the ever changing landscape for free apps and cloud software, we all admit to using such applications to enjoy the freedom that being loosely coupled allows. In these environments, you enjoy this freedom often at a price, as the IT folk cant see you when you are loosely coupled, and therefore lack the ability to give you proactive support, verify that your information is backed up and that their security policies are being applied to your loosely coupled environment.
Of course none of us identify with these words – tight and loose coupling. We may feel different experiences ( cloud is easy to use for work stuffor having to 'VPN in' to access my work is really hard ) but we dont associate with the words – nor should we as we judge the success of IT using more basic metric – it works for me or it doesnt. Black or white. On or off.
However, the IT organization really does identify with these words. They have a real challenge on their hands as they deliberate daily – "how do we provide tight coupled access to our corporate assets and information whilst allowing the right amount of loose coupled access to support how the business." In the 'old' days the referred to a loosely coupled system as one which each of its components has, or makes use of, little or no knowledge of the definitions of other separate components. People immersed in Service Orientated Architecture ( SOA ) for example will be really familiar with this term. Computer scientists know all about coupling.
But for those responsible for delivering IT to support the 'new ways of working' and 'front office', the challenge of coupling is something relatively new to them – and they struggle with it. And its a challenge that often sits above and below any strategic decision making they may have. This makes it an even bigger challenge. Why? Well because of this relentless speed of change, the IT decision makers are faced with a question that they have never been equipped to answer before. Which is this.
If more and more people are becoming loosely coupled to my organization through events outside my control, how much influence do I really have on the development of the tightly coupled services I am expected to deliver for an ever reducing operational budget?
Put another way, If more and more emphasis is placed on loosely coupled workers and the rise of their expectation levels , are we compromising our focus ( and skills ) on making sure we maintain the tightly coupled platforms, infrastructures and governance necessary to protect the core engine for the business to function.
What device do I need to give this user based on their 'coupling' – tight or loose or both?
What infrastructure do I need to buy or procure to support the shift to more loosely coupled access?
What security measures do I apply that enforce the right level of governance across all tightlu and loosely coupled access?
I don't see anyone with the complete answers to these questions; fascinating isn't it?
