A young woman with cerebral palsy walks into a Starbucks and, despite her compromised motor skills and speech difficulties, uses an iPad to do what she's never done before – she orders a cup of coffee by herself. That's a scene that a multidisciplinary team at the University of Michigan hopes to see in the very near future when it completes work on a special app for mobile devices.
In looking for a project to tackle as part of a software-engineering class, a team of computer science and engineering students posed the question: What can we do to help people whose impaired motor movements make it difficult to manipulate touch-sensitive screens or press the small buttons on mobile keyboards? Customized systems on home computers make it possible for these people to use email and instant messaging, but those input systems don't transfer well to mobile devices.
To solve the problem the students expanded the team, bringing in rehabilitation engineers from the University's C.S. Mott Hospital. Pooling talents has proved to be invaluable in creating an app that will convert the entire screen of an iPad or smart phone into one large button that's easy to use. A "scanning interface" will highlight each letter, button or link on the screen, one at a time. As the system highlights the desired item, the user simply touches anywhere on the screen to make the selection.
For those whose compromised motor skills make it hard to do what most people take for granted, the device will be a life-changer.
On Feb. 14, 2011, the mobile app for people with Cerebral Palsy placed second in the University Mobile Challenge at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The app is also a featured part of the Product Design Show, an informational series of videos on ENGINEERING.com.

Q: Configuring WordPress permissions for easy updates I've been tasked with configuring a LAMP stack on a dedicated server to run multiple WordPress sites. Each site is attached to it's own SSH account.
I'm having trouble setting permissions that'll allow each user to easily perform updates, plugin installs and updates, and the like from within WordPress.
Normally I'd configure www-data to own the files, but that's not an option, and setting the www-data group as group owner of the files doesn't seem to work either. Nor does it seem to work when I install the SSH2 extension for PHP, and frankly I'd prefer to go around that.
I can get it to work for plugin installs and updates if I install this plugin, but there's got to be a way around that.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I haven't really been able to find any helpful articles via Google or WordPress' own forums.

A: Yes have a look at SuPHP http://www.suphp.org/Home.html, this should be on serverfault, not really a WordPress question.

U.S. CFOs Overwhelmingly Expect a Recession Within Two Years
Corporate executives are considerably more pessimistic than economists.
By Shobhana Chandra | December 12, 2018 at 09:46 AM
Chief financial officers in the United States expect a recession as soon as next year, adding to signs that the outlook is souring among businesses and consumers amid a trade war and volatile financial markets.
About 49 percent of respondents see an economic downturn by the end of 2019, while 82 percent expect that a recession will have begun by the end of 2020, the Duke University/CFO Global Business Outlook fourth-quarter survey showed Wednesday. The poll's U.S. optimism index fell to 66.4, the lowest since the third quarter of 2017.

It doesn't look like we'll be getting a Nike LeBron and Kyrie Championship Pack this year, but what can you do when the 73 win Warriors go ahead and add Kevin Durant to their roster? Kyrie did manage to have a bounce-back game throughout Game 3 in Cleveland, as his incredible third quarter propelled the Cavaliers to stay in the game right up until Kevin Durant took over late in the fourth. Kyrie put up 38 points without a single three-pointer falling in an incredible array of acrobatic layups. Nike Basketball outfitted Kyrie in a head-turning Kyrie 3 PE too. There was no metallic gold hinting at the Larry O'Brien trophy as the pair instead was graced with a 50/50 yellow and black split. The left pair featured yellow on the outside with black on the medial side, while the right pair switched things up to make the Game 3 PE appear either all black or all yellow depending on the angle you saw it at. Touches of red highlighted the Swoosh outline and Kyrie signature logo. Do you think the Cavs will be able to make Game 4 competitive or are the Warriors going to be able to complete the sweep on Friday night? Stay tuned.

lelund durond's story
ABOUT LELUND DUROND STUDIOS
Lelund Durond Studios was founded in 2011 by actor/writer/director Lelund Durond Thompson. Our mission is to tell universal stories that heal through music, theater, film and photography. Lelund Durond represents faith and hope. Lelund Durond represents love for people. Lelund Durond represents love for people's creativity, Lelund Durond represents the steps toward healing and positive change that we all desire.
We at Lelund Durond Studios look forward to working with like-minded artists who share our goals of creating art that heals, inspires, and effects positive change. We appreciate your support as we continue to give back what has so graciously been given to us.
WHO IS LELUND DUROND?
My name is Lelund Durond Thompson. I'm the third of four children. I practically grew up in hospitals – my older sister Tracey, older brother Kenneth and younger brother James all suffered from congenital cirrhosis of the liver. Ultimately, Tracey lost her battle to the disease in 1988 and Kenneth and James followed over a decade later, leaving me the last of my parents' children.
I share this because most of my parents' attention, understandably, went to my siblings (apparently my paltry gall bladder removal operation couldn't compete). So I started coming up with ways to gain the spotlight pretty early. This was relatively easy considering that I grew up in a family of performers – Gospel singers. We would sing for hours on end at every family function, church service and reunion. Hours.
After graduating high school, I went on to receive my BFA from North Carolina A&T State University, where I was recognized with several Paul Robeson Awards for acting and attracted 13 offers for tuition-free graduate school admission. I elected to receive my MFA from the CASE/Cleveland Play House Actor Training Program, where I had the honor of being the first ever African American male to graduate the program. After graduation, I made my move to New York City, where I've continued to work professionally as an actor, writer, photographer and coach. I've had the pleasure of performing in productions from Pittsburg to Paris. I've had the pleasure of working with legendary actors/writers/directors such as film pioneer Melvin Van Peebles and Tony Award®winners Trazana Beverly and Ben Harney.
In addition to my acting, I've also developed a great love for writing. I've been commissioned (with Dove Award®-winner/producer/writer, Jason Michael Webb) to write an original musical for Classical Theater of Harlem, scheduled to begin its run in late 2014. Songs that I've written can be found on the albums Love Lead the Way(Brooklyn Tabernacle, 2013), This is the Day(JB Spiritual Singers, 2010) and Wildflower, the debut album from Tshidi Manye who currently stars as "Rafiki" in Broadway's The Lion King. Another collaboration with Webb (Light It Up!, recorded by legendary vocal powerhouse, Martha Wash) was selected by Bloomingdale's to unveil their famous Christmas windows in 2011.
In 2011, I founded YellaFella Entertainment and immediately began producing and directing theater in NYC (Stephen Adly Guirgis' Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train, Laurence Maslon's The Devine One: Sassy Swings Tokyo), serving as associate producer and Director of Photography for music videos and webseries (Homegirls, Sh*tty Fabulous), writing and helping to coach and develop talent. My work from the photography arm of YellaFella (YF Fotography) has been published in the New York Times, in Playbills for Broadway productions and has included shoots for Ricky Martin, Daniel Radcliffe and Perez Hilton.
I also currently serve as the On-Camera coach and Videographer for one of the top industry agencies, Abrams Artists, as well as the Artistic Director of Firebone Theater. Yes, my life is super busy, and I love it. Moving to NYC and jumping in with both feet has been wonderful. I'm excited to continue making my parents proud by helping other artists realize their visions while doing more creating, developing and sharing for years to come in NYC and across the country.

PUBLIC INTEREST: An 'investigated' critic of Aegis wants administration to explain itself.
By JOHN D'ONOFRIO john.donofrio@gnnewspaper.com
Did the Lockport school district expend resources to investigate a parent who's vehemently opposed to its facial recognition camera system?
That's one of a series of questions involving the surveillance system that the investigated parent wants answered publicly by district officials.
The Citizens Petition for School District Accountability, posted late Tuesday at iPetitions (https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/LockportDistrictAccountability) calls for accountability on the district's part for the approval and installation of its facial- and object recognition cameras — which have been rendered inoperable, for the next 18 months at least, by a new state law that bars their use while privacy and other issues of biometric security systems in schools are further studied.
The petition, put up by district parent and contributing Union-Sun & Journal columnist Jim Shultz, states the cameras project "was a mistake that cost taxpayers $2.7 million" and it poses a series of questions about:
— "Financial conflicts" on the part of Anthony Olivo, a security consultant to the district who was shown to have a financial stake in SNTechnologies, the company that developed the Aegis software suite that powers the cameras.
— Alerts generated by the system since the district activated it in January 2020, from false matches and any positive matches to faces in the Aegis database of "watched" or unwanted persons.
The petition further poses a single question on the matter of "investigating a parent": "How does the district justify its use of public resources to investigate the background of a parent solely on the basis of him raising questions about a district project?" The question is prefaced with a summary of documented efforts, by or on behalf of the district, to investigate Shultz's background — "his employer, the college he went to, past associations, and other matters."
Among the documents referenced is the transcript of a recorded September 2018 meeting between US&J editorial staff members and district officials including Superintendent Michelle Bradley and Assistant Superintendent Deborah Coder in which Coder revealed Shultz's background was being looked into.
"They were bragging about all the stuff they found out about me on the internet," Shultz said in a Wednesday telephone interview. "I've been investigated by authoritarian governments in South America and threatened with arrests, but I never thought I'd have to take it from a small city school district. It's insane."
Shultz said he showed up one day at a school board meeting, in 2018, to suggest the district look more closely into the facial recognition system that they were still exploring at the time, and later learned "they were so threatened, being questioned, that they decided to investigate me."
"If they'd put that same amount of energy on their surveillance system that they used to investigate me, we wouldn't have wasted $2.7 million on it," he said.
The petition, which as of late Wednesday had been signed by 46 people, asks the Lockport Board of Education to "promptly reply to these questions."
"The (board) functions on the basis of public trust, but that trust only works if there's accountability when mistakes are made," the petition states. "As a community we have a right to answers to three sets of questions and we are calling on the board to answer these questions, in writing and publicly on the district web site."
Superintendent Bradley did not respond to the US&J's questions about the petition on Wednesday. School board president Karen Young said she would discuss it with this reporter at a later date.

At first Lundberg, her daughters and her pets moved into Kennedy's suburban home before moving into her own San Diego mansion [photo], at the cost of $12,000-a-month in rent that the company covered
Over the next 16 months, the pair burned through $5.79million of company cash, authorities alleged.
Analysis conducted by Nemera found more than 8,800 improper charges to the company credit card between November 2015 and mid-March 2017.

Nemera said it became aware of possible improper financial activity by Kennedy earlier this year. After a review, by an independent accounting firm and outside counsel, Kennedy was fired in March.
That is when the FBI confronted Kennedy.
While he largely blamed Lundberg for the spending, he admitted to buying gift cards with the company card to pay for day-to-day expenses after Lundberg had allegedly maxed out his personal credit cards.
He told the agency that Lundberg had led him to believe she would eventually reimburse him as she claimed she was adopted by a wealthy family as a child and, at age 30, she would be able to access $4million.
But Lundberg, who filed for bankruptcy in 2009 reported to only about $100 in a checking account and income of about $200 a month with no mention of a trust fund.
In May, prosecutors filed a warrant to seize Lundberg's business checking account and FBI agents raided her San Diego mansion.

However, records show that the escort, who filed for bankruptcy in 2009 reported to only about $100 in a checking account and income of about $200 a month, no mention of a trust fund
Kennedy agreed to cooperate with authorities, including making undercover recordings of face-to-face and telephone conversations, according to the court filing.
According to 10News, dozens of agents in full gear with guns stormed the residence, seizing a Jaguar and white grand piano, among other things.
At the time, the mansion was the site of an estate sale advertised as 'Unexpected move for Chicago Heiress with Designer EVERYTHING'.
Both Kennedy and Lundberg are under investigation for fraud and money laundering, but records show criminal charges have not been filed against either.

Les Transports publics de la région lausannoise (TL) sont une société anonyme, fondée en 1895 à Lausanne sous le nom de Société des tramways lausannois, puis prenant son nom actuel en 1963. Elle a pour objectif l'exploitation du réseau de transports en commun de voyageurs du même nom, dans la ville de Lausanne, capitale du canton de Vaud, et son agglomération.

Les TL ont transporté 122 millions de passagers en 2019.

Les Transports publics de la région lausannoise exploitent actuellement les deux lignes du métro de Lausanne, les dix lignes du trolleybus de Lausanne, les 30 lignes du réseau de bus des TL, le réseau nocturne Service Pyjama et un service de transport à la demande. Enfin, la compagnie assure la gestion opérationnelle de la ligne Lausanne - Bercher.

Histoire
L'histoire des TL est pour beaucoup liée au chemin de fer. Lausanne est reliée pour la première fois par le chemin de fer en 1858. La gare ne se trouvant ni dans le centre, ni dans Ouchy, la ville de Lausanne se mobilise donc pour relier la gare à ces deux quartiers. Le Conseil fédéral accorde en 1871 une concession pour exploiter un chemin de fer entre Lausanne et Ouchy.

Le premier funiculaire de Suisse, le Lausanne-Ouchy (LO), est donc inauguré le . Le funiculaire fait alors partie de la Compagnie du Chemin de Fer du Lausanne-Ouchy constituée en 1874. C'est deux ans plus tard, le , que la ligne Lausanne-Gare (LG) est mise en service. Les deux quartiers sont dorénavant reliés à la gare.

Société des tramways lausannois

La prévision d'un réseau de tramway en 1894 amène en 1895 à la constitution de la Société des tramways lausannois, le nom initial du réseau de transport actuel. L'électricité utilisée pour alimenter le futur réseau sera alors produite par l'usine de Couvaloup dont la construction aura lieu en 1895. L'usine fera également à l'époque office de dépôt pour les premières voitures.

La pose des premiers rails débute le  et le réseau est inauguré le 29 août 1896. L'exploitation régulière des lignes commence le  décembre 1896, à l'exception de la ligne de la Pontaise qui est ouverte à l'exploitation le 25 décembre à la suite de tests supplémentaires de sécurité.

Le réseau de tramway est en pleine expansion : plusieurs lignes sont créées et d'autres prolongées. Le premier dépôt-atelier est construit à Prélaz entre 1898 et 1900 pour accueillir les nouvelles voitures. La Compagnie des Chemins de fer électriques régionaux du Jorat fusionne avec les TL en 1910, leur permettant de doubler la longueur de leur réseau et d'acquérir l'usine électrique de Mézières ainsi qu'un dépôt à Épalinges.

Les TL inaugurent en 1929 le premier service par autobus. La ville de Lausanne a joué un rôle d'avant-gardiste en introduisant une des premières lignes de « trolleybus modernes » d'Europe : en 1931, le réseau met en place à titre d'essai la première ligne de trolleybus moderne en Suisse, entre la gare CFF et Ouchy via l'avenue de la Harpe, et supprime de ce fait la ligne de tramway entre le Closelet et les Epinettes qui présente trop de désavantages pour la ville (fortes pentes, vitesse réduite, coûts élevés, forte sollicitation des freins).
Ce Trolleybus est maintenant préservé par l'association Rétrobus Léman.

Le réseau de tramway atteint son apogée en 1933 avec une longueur de , laissant place petit à petit aux trolleybus et autobus. À la suite des excellents résultats de la ligne de trolleybus d'Ouchy, les TL décident de commander une série de 32 nouveaux trolleybus de forme typiquement lausannoise avec leur capot à l'avant. Cette décision va progressivement faire disparaître le réseau de tramway : cinq lignes de tramway sont ainsi désaffectées entre 1938 et 1939 pour être exploitées par des trolleybus.

En 1948, la population refuse lors d'une votation le rachat de la compagnie par la ville de Lausanne, alors actionnaire majoritaire de la compagnie à hauteur de 44 %.

Fin de l'ère du tramway

En 1962, la majorité des lignes de tramway sont dorénavant exploitées par des trolleybus. Les lignes du Jorat sont remplacées par des autobus après 60 ans de service. En , la compagnie abandonne son ancien nom, devenu caduc, pour prendre celui de Transports publics de la région lausannoise qu'elle porte depuis lors. La dernière ligne de tramway lausannois, entre Renens et la Rosiaz est supprimée en 1964, mettant fin à l'ère du tramway à Lausanne.

Le réseau de trolleybus ne cesse de croître et la flotte de véhicules s'agrandit avec l'acquisition de trolleybus dits « batteuse » ainsi qu'une vingtaine de remorques à l'occasion de l'exposition nationale de 1964. Le surnom « batteuse » venait du bruit créé par le pendule mécanique qui passait les crans pour commander l'accélération automatique. Les batteuses concernaient les véhicules des séries 651 à 679, excepté les séries 665-672-675 qui possédaient, en première suisse, une carte électronique qui commandait l'accélération et supprimait le pendule mécanique.

Une « Batteuse » est elle aussi préservée par l'association Rétrobus Léman.

Alors que la deuxième série de trolleybus vieille de 40 ans est mise hors-service, les TL passent une commande de 18 trolleybus FBW/SAAS/Hess en 1975. La flotte de véhicules continue de s'étendre, et un nouveau dépôt est ouvert à la Borde en 1982. Le réseau réceptionnera 30 trolleybus jusqu'en 1984 ainsi qu'une nouvelle série jusqu'en 1990. En 2010, 8 de ces trolleybus FBW, ont été envoyés en Bulgarie, dans la ville de Roussé, d'autres ont été détruits.

Arrivée du M1

La Compagnie du Chemin de Fer du Lausanne-Ouchy fondée en 1874 est reprise par la ville de Lausanne en 1984, et sa gestion est confiée aux TL. En 1991 le réseau inaugure le TSOL (Tramway Sud-Ouest lausannois) — devenu aujourd'hui le m1 —, qui a pour effet de nombreuses modifications du tracé des lignes dans l'ouest lausannois comme le prolongement de la ligne 2 de la piscine de Bellerive au quartier de la Bourdonnette.

En 1995 est inauguré le dépôt de Perrelet, destiné à remplacer celui de Prélaz, ouvert en 1900. C'est trois ans plus tard, en 1998, que les TL introduisent sur leur réseau un nouveau mode de traction avec la commande de 15 autobus Van Hool A330 au gaz naturel. Le réseau met parallèlement en service un prototype de trolleybus de Neoplan.

Les trolleybus « batteuses » restants ainsi que la première série de trolleybus « UST » de 1975-1976 sont remplacés avec la mise en service progressive de 28 nouveaux trolleybus bimodes à plancher bas Neoplan N6121 en 2001. Le réseau continue l'acquisition d'autobus, avec 20 bus articulés du constructeur belge Van Hool la même année et commandera également 10 autobus articulés Van Hool de nouvelle génération (Van Hool newAG300), ainsi que dix autobus au gaz naturel de la même génération.

M2 et renouveau du réseau

Le  marque le renouveau des transports publics de la région lausannoise. Outre la construction d'une seconde ligne de métro, le réseau prépare sa plaque tournante avec son nouveau schéma de transport.

En 2002 le projet du m2, l'éventuelle deuxième ligne de métro de Lausanne, est débattu lors d'un vote populaire le 24 novembre.

Cette ligne sera alors la première ligne de métro automatique sur pneus de Suisse. Elle a pour but de relier Ouchy à Épalinges par la gare CFF. L'Office fédéral des transports (OFT) approuve les plans de l'infrastructure du m2 en 2003, et les travaux commencent le  avec le défrichement à Sallaz. Plus tard le 17 juin 2004, le conseiller fédéral Moritz Leuenberger pose la première pierre du m2, lançant officiellement les travaux et le début de chantier sur le tronçon nord du futur métro entre le Flon et Croisettes.

Un éboulement a lieu le  à Saint-Laurent lors de la creusée du tunnel. Les travaux de réparation des dégâts ont engendré un surcoût de 9 millions de francs. La place est officiellement rouverte le .

Des premières portes ouvertes ont lieu le 3 septembre 2005, réunissant  personnes. Deux mois plus tard, en novembre 2005, les travaux de pose des voies commencent.

Parallèlement, la ligne de funiculaire Lausanne-Ouchy réalise son dernier service le  après 128 ans d'activité pour laisser place aux travaux du m2, qui doit alors ouvrir en 2008. Pour combler la fin d'exploitation de « la Ficelle », un service appelé « Métrobus » est mis en service. Le service de substitution, affrété par 7 véhicules, reprend le parcours de l'ancienne ligne, desservant cinq arrêts à une cadence de 7 minutes.

Depuis 2008

Le m2 est inauguré par les autorités fédérale, cantonale et communale le 18 septembre 2008 à la place de la Riponne, où un apéritif a été offert par la ville, et des animations telles que des concerts et spectacles ont été organisés sur la scène de la Riponne. L'exploitation commerciale de la ligne débute, quant à elle, à partir du 27 octobre 2008. Le réseau de trolleybus et de bus est réorganisé autour de cet axe. Le projet du nouveau réseau de bus est dénommé « Réseau 08 » et est plus communément abrégé « R08 ».

« Réseau 08 » permet des temps de parcours plus courts et des liaisons plus directes, afin de s'inscrire dans une action de développement durable. Dans une vue d'ensemble, le réseau est conçu en tenant compte des modifications importantes que le métro produira avec le déplacement global de la population. Une grande partie des lignes entre désormais en connexion avec les stations du métro, incluant les stations du m1, des lignes de train CFF et du LEB, permettant une plus grande mobilité entre la gare, le centre, et le nord de la ville. « Réseau 08 » est chiffré à 21 millions de francs (sans compter les travaux sur le plateau de la Sallaz).

Le nouveau réseau comprend la création de lignes aériennes pour les trolleybus, ainsi que l'aménagement de nombreuses rues et pôles d'échanges comme celui du Flon. De plus, une agence commerciale ouvre au Flon le 5 août 2008, remplace celle située à Saint-François. Le mur végétal de 200 mètres carrés est, lors de l'ouverture du centre, le plus grand de Suisse. La partie du toit, quant à elle, mesure près de 600 mètres carrés. Conçu par le bureau d'architectes M+V, le bâtiment bénéficie d'un système de récupération de l'eau de pluie, permettant d'arroser la végétation en fonction de l'humidité de la terre.

Ce schéma de déplacements, mis en service le , entraine la suppression de la ligne de trolleybus 5 et de la ligne de bus 45 remplacées par le m2. D'autres lignes sont quant à elles modifiées — les lignes de trolleybus 2, 4 et 6 et les lignes de bus 13, 16, 32, 45, 60, 62, 64 et 65 voient leur itinéraire changer —, et de nouvelles lignes sont créées — les lignes de trolleybus 21 et 25 et les lignes de bus  22, 41, 42 et 56. Les TL ont également décidé de supprimer les horaires sur les grandes lignes : les fréquences de passage sont désormais indiquées sur des bornes aux arrêts.

En 2009, les TL reçoivent leur premiers véhicules d'une série de 35 Hess Swisstrolley de troisième génération afin de mettre fin aux problèmes causés par les trolleybus bimode de marque Neoplan. Les TL en recevront jusqu'en 2010.

En 2012, le réseau voit arriver 27 trolleybus Hess Swisstrolley de quatrième génération afin de continuer le renouvellement de sa flotte. Le réseau compte donc actuellement 62 Hess Swisstrolley, soit la plus importante flotte de ce modèle.

Le , la gestion opérationnelle du service voyageurs ferroviaire de la ligne Lausanne - Bercher et du service marchandise routier est reprise par les TL. Une suite de différentes mesures s'ensuit. En 2014, l'ensemble des collaborateurs du LEB sont repris par les TL, y compris pour le service routier marchandises, bien qu'ils conservent leur convention collective de travail (CCT) propres.

En , les TL annoncent la fin progressive de la sous-traitance des huit lignes de minibus à la société MSA dans un délai de deux ans, afin de faire face à la hausse régulière de la fréquentation des lignes concernées, les TL souhaitant les rééquiper en conséquence avec des bus de plus grande capacité.

Le  marque la fin des trolleybus sur la ligne 17, dans le but de préparer le terrain pour le futur tramway de Lausanne.

Réseau

En 2016, le réseau des TL est, en majorité, identique au « Réseau 13 », ou « R13 », mis en service le . Les TL exploitent deux lignes de métro ainsi que 35 de bus régulières — 11 lignes de trolleybus, 20 lignes d'autobus urbaines et 5 lignes d'autobus régionales. Le réseau, d'une longueur de , dessert  habitants à travers Lausanne et son agglomération.

Le réseau a transporté  de voyageurs en 2017.

On compte parmi les lignes les plus fréquentées du réseau, le m2 avec plus de  voyageurs transportés par jour, viennent ensuite le m1 avec  voyageurs par jour en période universitaire, et la ligne 7 avec  voyageurs quotidiens.

Métro

Lausanne est la seule ville de Suisse à disposer d'un métro, composé de deux lignes totalisant . Ces deux lignes sont très différentes d'un point de vue technique : La ligne M1, ouverte en 1991, s'apparente à un métro léger tandis que la ligne M2, ouverte en 2008, est un métro sur pneumatiques automatique, qui a remplacé une ligne de chemin de fer à crémaillère ouverte dans les années 1950 issue de la transformation d'un funiculaire des années 1870.

Trolleybus et autobus

Lausanne compte un des plus anciens réseau de trolleybus encore en activité au monde. Ouvert en 1932, il couvre de nos jours la ville avec ses dix lignes s'étendant sur un peu moins de .

Le réseau d'autobus compte 24 lignes urbaines dites « d'agglomération » s'étendant sur  et six lignes régionales s'étendant sur , soit un total de 30 lignes de bus. À cela s'ajoutent le transport à la demande Taxibus et le Service Pyjama, un réseau de bus nocturne. Certaines lignes sont partiellement ou totalement sous-traitées à la société MSA.

Tarification
Depuis 2004, les TL font partie de la communauté tarifaire intégrale Mobilis Vaud qui est une union permettant au voyageur d'emprunter bus, trolleybus, tramway, métro et train avec un seul et même titre de transport dans le canton de Vaud. Un billet unitaire valable sur deux zones coûte .

 Exploitation
 Infrastructures

Le matériel roulant et le personnel des TL sont remisés sur quatre sites — le centre de Perrelet, le dépôt La Borde et les garages-ateliers d'Écublens et de Vennes.

 Centre de Perrelet
Avec la croissance constante du parc de véhicules des TL et le développement général du réseau, le dépôt de Prélaz ouvert en 1900 ne répond alors plus aux besoins. Les TL pensent dès 1986 à la construction d'un nouveau bâtiment doté d'infrastructures qui permettraient l'entretien des trolleybus, dont le réseau connaît une importante expansion les décennies précédentes. Le quartier de Perrelet dans la commune de Renens possède un grand terrain que convoitent les TL. C'est après quatre ans de travaux, en 1995, que le bâtiment de  entre en service.

Le centre de Perrelet est à la fois . Il est constitué d'un dépôt capable d'accueillir 200 véhicules, et abrite le centre de gestion du trafic permettant l'exploitation de l'ensemble des lignes de bus et de métros, les ateliers de maintenance, ainsi que l'ensemble des bureaux administratifs.

 Dépôt de la Borde
Les TL achètent en 1954 une parcelle située à côté de l'atelier des tramways construit en 1951. Cette surface située dans les hauts de la ville de Lausanne permet alors d'étendre considérablement la superficie des locaux d'entretien des véhicules. Cependant, divers projets urbanistiques font retarder le début des travaux, qui commenceront en 1979. C'est en 1982 que le site de la Borde est officiellement inauguré et mis en service.

Le dépôt sert actuellement de garage pour les véhicules affectés aux lignes des hauts de la ville et aux lignes régionales.

 Garage-atelier d'Écublens

Le garage-atelier d'Écublens est situé en face de l'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. Il abrite sur cinq voies de garage les rames ainsi que des ateliers de réparation et de maintenance de la ligne M1 du métro.

 Garage-atelier de Vennes

Le garage-atelier de Vennes, ouvert en 2006, abrite et permet d'effectuer la maintenance des rames de la ligne M2 du métro.

 Livrée des véhicules
Durant son histoire, les véhicules des TL ont vu leur couleur changer à plusieurs reprises. De 1932 à 1975, ils étaient de couleur bleue, puis, à la suite d'une prescription de l'Union suisse des transports (UST), les trolleybus et autobus de 1975 jusqu'en l'an 2000 sont devenus orange, pour finir de se parer de couleurs blanche et à carreaux bleus dès l'an 2000. Le métro M1, était déjà à la base, lors de son inauguration, en 1991, de couleurs blanche et bleue, bien qu'organisées de façon différente, puis a reçu la livrée actuelle à cette époque, qui équipe aussi le métro M2.

 Livrées publicitaires et spéciales
Des livrées publicitaires habillent un ou plusieurs véhicules chaque année, en voici quelques exemples :

Ces espaces sont commercialisés par une filiale des Transports publics genevois (TPG), la société anonyme TP Publicité SA, qui commercialise aussi les espaces publicitaires extérieurs. Jusqu'au  elle se nommait TPG Publicité SA, elle change de nom à l'occasion de l'obtention du contrat avec les TL.

TP Publicité souhaite développer ses activités sur les réseaux de Bâle et Zurich. Contrairement aux TPG, les publicités en rapport avec la politique sont interdites aux TL. En 2022, le Conseil d'administration des TPG a décidé de dissoudre TP Publicité.

 Projets

Dans le cadre du projet d'agglomération Lausanne-Morges (PALM), le réseau TL se retrouve au cœur du projet « Axes forts » qui prévoit l'amélioration des transports en commun de l'agglomération de la capitale vaudoise à travers plusieurs projets, dont la compagnie assurera la maîtrise d'ouvrage et l'exploitation :
 la création d'une  de métro entre le Flon et la Blécherette, dont la première phase devrait voir le jour à l'horizon 2025 (selon le projet présenté en 2015) ;
 une ligne de tramway (T1) de  de long reliera Lausanne à Renens à l'horizon 2026, puis jusqu'à Bussigny et Villars-Sainte-Croix dans un second temps, en 2027 ;
 un réseau de trois lignes de bus à haut niveau de service (BHNS), équipées de trolleybus à double articulation de  de long et de la priorité aux feux aux carrefours, qui verra le jour à partir de 2022 :
 T2 : Lutry ↔ Crissier ↔ Bussigny,
 T3 : Pully-Val-Vert ↔ Prilly-Galicien,
 T4 : Saint-François ↔ Bellevaux.

Une ligne de BHNS vers Morges est envisagée à plus long terme.

 Publications
Les TL publient jusqu'en décembre 2013 un magazine trimestriel appelé Banc public traitant aussi bien de l'actualité que du passé du réseau des transports publics de la région lausannoise. Des exemplaires du magazine sont distribués dans les stations de métro et à l'agence clientèle. Le magazine change de forme et de nom durant le dernier mois de l'année 2013 et devient Connexions dont les thématiques abordées reprennent celles de Banc public'' tout en élargissant l'éventail.

No one would guess that this completely operating desk leading calculator hides a secret. It truly is an ideal device for any private detective or private investigator in corporate or personal investigations as it wouldn't arouse suspicion, as a calculator is frequent place in any home or workplace. There is certainly no visible indication that this really is something but a calculator as the voice recording technique is hidden inside.
The calculator recorder makes use of an SD card, as much as 32GB, which can store 570 hours of recording, and is battery powered, giving about 12 hours of sound activated recordings. The back of the calculator has to be removed, by the private investigator or private detective, to access these and to operate the start/stop control. The use of an SD card reader enables the private detective's or private investigator's evidence to be retrieved on his or her PC to support the investigation in progress. This is an extremely powerful device for covert surveillance as no one would suspect their conversations had been becoming recorded by such an innocuous item.


In experiments, we used a street lamp that incorporates the base station function inside the pillar so that the antenna and the radio are not noticeable. We set up one in the parking lot adjacent to the municipal wreckage field in Yeomachiro and investigate tourist reactions on the landscape and the reach of the radio waves. The period is one year from October this year. Since the 5G base station has not yet been downsized, experiments predict the radio range using the current 4G base station.
As it mentions relay, I am assuming in-band backhaul.
They will also examine the impacts of weather, terrain and look at maintenance issues as well.
Speaking at the Wells Fargo 5G Forum this week, T-Mobile VP of Radio Network Technology and Strategy Karri Kuoppamaki said the Un-carrier carefully considered its options before settling on a small cell strategy that utilizes dark fiber for densification. Kuoppamaki explained T-Mobile works with a number of partners who provide the fiber, real estate, and manpower for the build outs while the Un-carrier supplies the equipment and facilitates municipal dialogs. The result is an overall cost structure that has been whittled down to a "manageable level," he said.
According to Kuoppamaki, T-Mobile currently has about 15,000 small cells today, including 13,000 DAS nodes. The Un-carrier is on track to add "several thousand" more by the end of 2017, and has another 25,000 in the pipeline for the next few years, he added.
While fiber is a great strategy in the long run, especially for densification and 5G, it drives the initial cost up. Its not a great strategy for operators who may be more interested in deploying small cells for coverage mainly.
In earlier posts, I have argued for in-band backhauling (IBBH). A similar concept by the name of self-backhauling is used in 5G. In another post we also looked at Sprint MagicBox which uses similar approach to improve coverage and capacity. The main advantage of this approach is quicker deployment at a far lower cost. Backhaul can always be improved after initial deployments once coverage obligations are met.
Anyway, finally coming back to the T-Mobile small cells, here is a much more detailed picture from Omar Masry's slide-deck.
The Register pointed out a while back that some of Vodafone's Sure Signal Femtocells (designed by Alcatel-Lucent) are exploding.
Vodafone says that anxious customers of its home femtocell box are safe, despite experiencing continuing brownouts. Although Vodafone is replacing the Alcatel-made units on request, it has declined to carry out a full recall.
The failure was announced by a loud bang, a flash and the tripping of the power circuit.
Luckily there has been no serious accidents but it is enough to highlight the importance of all the different kind of testing that is done for all different kinds of devices.
This picture above, even though highlights the testing for mobile devices, is not very different to the steps required or testing small cells.
Due to the pressures of delivering more is shorter duration's, it can sometimes be a challenge to finish all of these to the highest possible standards. In any case, if its not done in the right way, the end results are visible soon enough, once it goes live.

Have you ever driven your car on rough terrains? Seems difficult to handle it. You can now steer, brake and accelerate at the same time with the new 2010 Toyota 4Runner. It has introduced a new technology called crawl control which helps determine optimum combination of speed and traction. It processes inputs from wheel speed sensors, vehicle's stability control computer, G-sensor and the engine control unit. To start this system, shift the transmission to neutral and then the transfer case to 4L and shift transmission to forward or reverse gear and press crawl control. It will help you cross hilly areas easily.


How much time do you spend on screens? Your television, laptop, smartphone, tablet, and now even your watch. When Apple debuted the screen time feature this past fall, I found it amazing the number of hours I spent simply on my phone, who really knows how much screen time I accumulated between all of my screens.
I did not like what I saw, so, I removed a ton of apps from my phone and put my phone in Do Not Disturb mode, 24-hours per day.
I recently, came across an event that has been going on for 3-years now, the Seacoast Digital Fast. It's coming up and is around the corner. I'm in.
Here's my recommendation, quitting cold turkey will be hard so, ease yourself into it and prepare yourself for the fast.
I recommend spending time in nature, reading, and having time with your loved ones. If you need some support, check out the Facebook event page or their website.

Strange Fruit: Anniversary Of A Lynching [Video/Audio]

Download: Strange Fruit: Anniversary Of A Lynching
Eighty years ago, two young African-American men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, were lynched in the town center of Marion, Ind. The night before, on Aug. 6, 1930, they had been arrested and charged with the armed robbery and murder of a white factory worker, Claude Deeter, and the rape of his companion, Mary Ball.
That evening, local police were unable to stop a mob of thousands from breaking into the jail with sledgehammers and crowbars to pull the young men out of their cells and lynch them.
News of the lynching spread across the world. Local photographer Lawrence Beitler took what would become the most iconic photograph of lynching in America. The photograph shows two bodies hanging from a tree surrounded by a crowd of ordinary citizens, including women and children. Thousands of copies were made and sold. The photograph helped inspire the poem and song "Strange Fruit" written by Abel Meeropol — and performed around the world by Billie Holiday.
But there was a third person, 16-year-old James Cameron, who narrowly survived the lynching.
They got me up to the tree and they got a rope and they put it around my neck. And they began to push me under the tree. And that's when I prayed to God. I said, 'Lord have mercy, forgive me my sins.' I was ready to die.
– James Cameron
The mob grabbed Shipp and Smith first — and then came back for Cameron. He had a noose around his neck when he made an improbable escape.
"After 15 or 20 minutes of having their pictures taken and everything, they came back to get me," Cameron told NPR in 1994. "Just then the sheriff, and he was sweating like somebody had throwed a bucket of water in his face. He told the mob leader: 'Get the hell out of here, you already hung two of 'em so that ought to satisfy ya.' Then they began to yell for me like a favorite basketball or football player. They said: 'We want Cameron, we want Cameron, we want Cameron.'
"And I looked over to the faces of the people as they were beating me along the way to the tree. I was pleading for some kind of mercy, looking for a kind face. But I could find none. They got me up to the tree and they got a rope and they put it around my neck. And they began to push me under the tree. And that's when I prayed to God. I said, 'Lord have mercy, forgive me my sins.' I was ready to die."
That's when some people say a local Marion citizen stood on the hood of his car and shouted, "He's innocent, he didn't do it."

Whatever the cause, the mob decided not to lynch Cameron and he was taken back to the jail.
Cameron was moved out of town, convicted as an accessory to the murder and served four years in jail.
But the case was never solved.
"We know that three young black men were at the scene of the crime. We know there was also a young white woman at the scene of the crime. Who pulled the trigger, who shot Claude Deeter is not known. And I don't think really can be known," says historian Jim Madison at Indiana University.
EnlargeJoe Raedle/Getty ImagesIn 2005, James Cameron spoke at a press conference held by Senate members who passed a historic resolution apologizing for the body's failure to enact federal anti-lynching legislation during the first half of the 20th century.
After the lynching, Cameron became a very devout man and vividly describes this day in his autobiographical account, A Time of Terror.
He believed that the voice that came from the crowd to save him was the voice of an angel.
He also went on to found three chapters of the NAACP, served as Indiana's State Director of the Office of Civil Liberties and founded America's Black Holocaust Museum.
In 1993, the governor of Indiana, Evan Bayh, formally pardoned Cameron.
"When a traumatic event happens like that, it makes an indelible imprint on the mind," Cameron said. "But I told him, since Indiana had forgiven me, I, in turn, forgive Indiana."
Cameron died on June 11, 2006, at the age of 92. He is survived by his wife Virginia; three children, Virgil, Walter and Dolores Cameron; and numerous grandchildren.

Helen Iguptak
The Matchbox Gallery
Helen Iguptak is a textile artist from Kangiqliniq (Rankin Inlet), NU, who is known for her work with Inuit dolls. Her dolls can range between one and three feet in size, and often have caribou-skin clothing, kamiik (seal-skin boots), and intricate beadwork. Iguptak was born in Kuukyuak (Perry River), NU, and raised in Sanningajuq (Garry Lake), NU, a small hamlet between Igluligaarjuk (Chesterfield Inlet) and Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake) [1]. In addition to her textile work, Iguptak is also a painter, ceramicist, and plays the accordion and keyboard [2].
Iguptak made her first doll at the age of seven, during her time at Chesterfield Inlet Residential School (Turquetil Hall). An older girl taught her how to make the dolls, which Iguptak used both to comfort herself and to reclaim her Inuk heritage [3]. After leaving residential school, Iguptak didn't make another doll until the 1990s, when she rediscovered this early passion, saying it goes hand-in-hand with her desire to keep Inuit culture alive [4].
Untitled (Purple and Orange Doll) (2016) is a good example of Iguptak's minute, detailed stitch work and dedication to capturing every facet of traditional dress, such as the black-bottoms of the doll's boots, signifying the traditional waterproof sealskin kamiik. The repeated floral motif is carried from the fully articulated flowers and leaves on the chest through to smaller borders on the cuffs and hood, their purple background helping to distinguish the orange flowers from the tan hide of the doll's amauti.
Iguptak is a frequent and eagerly anticipated contributor to various Nunavut festivals, including the Kivalliq Trade Show, the Nunavut Arts Festival, and the Great Northern Arts Festival. She led her own qivuit (muskox fur) spinning workshop during the Nunavut Arts Festival in 2019. In 2007, she was one of the organizers and exhibitors of K.I.D.F.E.S.T., or the Kivalliq Inuit Doll Festival, Exhibition and Story-Telling Traditions (2007), the first doll festival organized by Inuit, which toured in venues across Canada [5]. She was named Rankin Inlet Artist of the Year in 2012.

Pontfadog is a small village in between Chirk and Glyn Ceiriog. In Pontfadog lives the oldest oak tree in Britain which was spared when King Henry II had his men cut down the Ceiriog Woods in 1165. Fortunately the woods recovered, as they have done since being permanently covered in dust from the quarrying of the 19th century.
Now trees cover the hillside below the medieval castle of Chirk, dangle their roots in the River Ceiriog, and hide the remains of the industrial past.


Orchid Digitals helps capture your memories on canvas. All of us have those amazing family pictures or vacation shots on our phone. But that's where they mostly remain. We might share them on social media forums a couple of times, but mostly they are forgotten and never seen again. So give those pixels a physical form. Decorate your house or office with our high resolution photo prints on canvas.
High resolution canvas printing is a premium service offered by Orchid Digitals, Pune. We use rolls of natural cotton canvas to print on. While photo prints on vinyl do look good, photo prints on canvas look simply gorgeous.
Custom canvas prints are used to reproduce fine art and paintings. Let's assume for a moment, that you are a master artist. You have held an exhibition and your masterpieces sell for lakhs of rupees. While the moneyed connoisseur can afford to buy your costly originals, other art lovers will demand reproductions of the same. Further, these painting reproductions need to be tagged with a more affordable price. So artists scan the original and have the same digitally printed on canvas. The copy still has that authentic, textured, look and feel of an original.
Photo printing on canvas is a fast selling product at our print shop. Wedding photos, family portraits, vacation pics, etc. can all be reproduced on large sized canvas frames. People typically dress up and pose in wedding photos and studio shoots. While spur of the moment selfies may not always show you at your best, planned photo shoots always bring out you true beauty. These high resolution images are ideal for printers to create stunning canvas photo prints.
Inkjet printed canvas frames are also ideal to liven up your home and office walls. Interior decorators and the suave home makers routinely use large canvas prints of digital paintings created by modern artists. The old masters' paintings will off course, never go out of style.
Art school students have another, lesser known application for canvas prints. They order half finished 'bare bones' prints. For example, a student might source a print showing the outlines of horses running in a field. They then use their own paints, oils, charcoal, etc., to finish the painting. Essentially, this half printed canvas acts as a foundation for greater, naturally painted creations. This off course is only possible because the media we use is made of natural artists' paintable cotton.
Ready to buy Canvas Prints?
Tell us a little about your canvas printing requirements by filling in the form below. And we'll get back to you with an estimate of the price for the same.
At Orchid, we use our high resolution, wide format, Mimaki and Roland eco solvent photo printers. These print machines can reproduce images at amazingly high resolutions. It goes without saying that the machines' output will only be as good as the original input file. So make sure that you bring in your images / photo collages at the highest possible resolutions.
Customers often wonder about the durability of our prints. The eco solvent inks we use, are impervious to rain and sunlight. Leave them out in the open or dunk them in a bucket of water and they still won't get damaged. Thus, our prints are extremely strong and long lasting.
We have printable rolls of cotton canvas in widths of 3, 4 and 5 feet. So you can print out pretty large sized images. While the standard sizes of canvas prints are 2 X 3 or 3 X 4 feet, a wide format print of 5 X 10 is not unheard of.
At Orchid, we offer two options to our customers. You can print the image on a loose roll of canvas and get it framed yourself. Alternatively, we can offer you a more finished product, wherein we stretch the print on a frame. The outer edges of the image are wrapped on the sides of the frame. Edge wrapped prints are also referred to as galley framing and they look pretty stunning.
Just the print 150/- per sq. ft.
Canvas print + galley framing 220/- per sq. ft.


Catching up with Meryl Davis and Charlie White for our video interview wasn't easy. While we've been blessed for the past couple of Olympic Games to be "assigned" top-seeded Olympic hopefuls, the reality is… once athletes "go Gold" in the Olympics, they're harder to catch (for a follow-up story) than a shooting star. The stakes and the rewards are high: The stakes are high for our modest video production team finding ourselves in the media line behind the likes of The Today Show and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
And the rewards for being a Gold medalist are higher than ever. Sure there is the traditional Wheaties box and the requisite commercial sponsorships. But now, the athletes' rewards for Gold-medaldom have multiplied, as has our video crew's challenge to catch and interview them, post-gold-medal.
Such was the case with Meryl Davis and Charlie White. When we first met them for their first video interview last summer they were already Silver medalists from the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. Yet, it seemed the sport of ice dancing was still not fully understood nor fully embraced by the mainstream. Enter reality television and Dancing with the Stars, where Davis and White are now causing a stir not only by competing against each other, but through the public's never-ending fascination with the skaters' personal lives, both on and off the ice. Enter more primetime network TV talk shows than ever. Enter comedy – a la Ellen DeGeneres and Stephen Colbert. Which by the way, if you haven't seen this 5-minute segment between Colbert and the famous ice duo – watch it now. It's funny stuff, and it only furthered endeared them in my own heart. See the Colbert Report Video Interview w/Stephen Colbert.
So.. (we're burying the lead here) after much ado, our RBM video production crew of Dave Wruck, Ron Patrick and me (Robin) tracked down Meryl and Charlie in Ft Myers, Florida – literally staging our video interview between a grueling practice for Stars on Ice 2014 (the U.S. tour opens April 4 in Ft. Myers, FL) and a Dancing with the Stars rehearsal. When their intense Stars on Ice rehearsal ran long — it was the last rehearsal before the tour opens — both RBM and the camera crew from Extra TV squished our long lists of video interview questions into 15- minute time slots respectively. Fortunately for us, Meryl and Charlie are pros; aside from Mary Lou Retton, they are probably the MOST POISED and polished interview subjects we've EVER worked with, and every bit of our 15 minutes with them was video-series gold (IMHO). Stay tuned for the wrap-up episode, now featured on the TeamUSA YouTube Channel .
Episode 1 – Qualified / Meryl Davis and Charlie White 16 Years In The Making. Video Interview.
Episode 2 – Qualified / Charlie White and Meryl Davis' Road to Sochi. Video Interview.
Episode 3 – Qualified / Charlie and Meryl Explain Ice Dancing. Video Interview.
Episode 4 – Qualified / Charlie and Meryl: Michigan Natives. Video Interview.
Episode 5 – Qualified / Charlie White and Meryl Davis Gold Medal Recap. Video Interview.
Oh yeah.. (we're burying the close here), because of our lightening-fast interview, we were able to make it over the bridge just in time to see the Florida sun disappear into the Gulf.


BikeTrials and a Fistful of Blisters: DIY V-brake Roller Chain Tensioner Completed!
Today I was on leave. My goal was to go around town hunting for a longer hanger screw that I could use to mount the DIY chain tensioner to my trial bike. In my last post, I wrote about how I made two versions of a roller chain tensioner using V-brake and derailleur parts.
Finally, today, I managed to find a screw that fit the hanger and long enough to be tightened securely onto the hanger. Earlier in the day I tried a couple of hardware shops but could not find even 1 screw that could even fit the hanger.
In the end, almost giving up, I decided to try a motorbike part shop next to one of the hardware shop. Voila! Would you believe it? I found exactly what I needed at the motorbike shop. Why is it that you always find what you need from the most unexpected places. And to top it off, the proprietor was very interested in my bike. He started asking so many questions about trials, to which I explained as best I could... LOL. And during all that time, he helped me mount the chain tensioner onto the hanger... sweet!
The elusive screw that got me running around town... LOL. Using 2 washers as spacers and grip, the V-brake roller chain tensioner was mounted securely on the derailleur hanger.
Another view of the screw securely holding the V-brake chain tensioner.
The V-brake chain tensioner gripping the chain firmly without any slack.
Side view of the DIY V-brake chain tensioner.
The completed DIY V-brake chain tensioner.
The completed DIY V-brake chain tensioner in action... LOL.
I have updated the chain tensioner with a "chain guard" for additional security.

The Wall Street Journal: Simon & Schuster may be bought by Penguin Random House parent
ViacomCBS Inc. is close to a deal to sell book publisher Simon & Schuster to German media giant Bertelsmann SE for more than $2 billion, people familiar with the matter said, in a deal that would create a publishing behemoth accounting for about a third or all books sold in the U.S. Read More...
Simon & Schuster dominated the political conversation in 2020, publishing such bestsellers as Mary L. Trump's memoir "Too Much and Never Enough."
ViacomCBS Inc. is close to a deal to sell book publisher Simon & Schuster to German media giant Bertelsmann SE for more than $2 billion, people familiar with the matter said, in a deal that would create a publishing behemoth accounting for about a third or all books sold in the U.S.
The transaction would put the publishers of some of the world's bestselling authors including Stephen King, Bob Woodward, Dan Brown and John Grisham under the same corporate umbrella. Bertelsmann SE's BTG4, -0.76% Penguin Random House already is the U.S.'s largest publisher by books sold, while Simon & Schuster is the third largest, behind News Corp's HarperCollins Publishers.
The companies haven't yet reached a final agreement, and it is possible the deal still could fall apart, the people said.
ViacomCBS VIAC, -0.31% put Simon & Schuster up for sale in March, saying it would use the cash proceeds to further invest in its streaming-video efforts. Viacom Inc. and CBS Corp. completed their merger in December 2019. The company earlier this year agreed to sell CNET Media Group for $500 million and is looking to sell "Black Rock," CBS's historic Midtown Manhattan headquarters.

Self-defence (definition): is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defence as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions, but the interpretation varies widely.
Our world is beautiful, but can also be very dangerous. Everybody would have encountered a threat or an attack at some stage of their life. Some more than others; some never lived to tell the tale.
We enable everyday people to defend themselves. No man should be threatened or attacked; no woman should be assaulted or raped; no child should be abducted or bullied.
Anyone can become a fighter... defined [a person with the will, courage, determination, ability, or disposition to fight, struggle, resist, etc.]
We help everyday people understand the weapons they posses within; how to use them; when to use them; but more importantly, train with a sense of realism to become effective.
Hebrew for Contact Combat, Krav Maga is globally recognised as the leading self defence system. It teaches life-skills to help prevent, avoid, deter and deal with violence. Governed by principles, Krav Maga is taught in a unique and comprehensive manner born out of the environment it was developed under in Israel. Practitioners gain knowledge in self protection, situational awareness and combat skills. At Life Athletes we teach our mixed classes in small groups of 4. It enables us to maximise learning whilst maintaining personal attention.
Krav Ninjas
Children between the ages of 5-8 years old should enjoy their physical activities. The more fun they have the more they learn. Just like learning how to cross a road safely, we believe self-defence is an essential life skill that must be nurtured from a young age. It isn't about serious training, but learning what's important through play.
Junior Self Defence
Playground bullying and youth violence are more common during the ages 9-15. That's why our junior programme focuses on building confidence at an age when innocence starts to erode and the reality of everyday life threats begins to hit home. Parents and teachers cannot be there all the time to offer protection. We help our students develop the necessary awareness and skills to keep themselves safe.
Women-only Self Protection
Our unique Stay Away programme is a world leader in women-only self defence. Suitable for women of all fitness levels and abilities, no martial arts experience is required. We teach women to recognise common danger scenarios and know what to do and when to do it. We explore the differences between men and women to better understand the differing modes of response. Syllabus includes: intuition, psychology, aggression, awareness and defensive techniques.
Adrenal Self Defence
Adrenal Self Defence is a concept-based personal protection system with a focus on simple techniques, with a very scientific teaching pedagogy intended to get people to control the adrenal rush of flight, fight, freeze when faced with a real or perceived threat against themselves or a loved one. It teaches the students to 'flip the switch', and control their adrenal stress response in such a way that they will not be victimised.
Bespoke Self Defence
Bespoke means bespoke… we specialise in one-2-one tuition, small group private training, corporate events and tailored courses. Carpe Diem has been working with several B2B companies and organisations over the last several years to deliver bespoke curriculums onsite and out of it's own facility in Fulham, London. More importantly, Carp Diem works with individuals in one on one and small group settings to help them overcome their fears and develop.

With a lot of activity and events happening everyday, we want people to just come by to eat, drink and hang out whenever they feel like it. In true BBQ tradition we do sell out most nights. This is the result of slow low smoking and hungry guests. sO Come early to make sure you get your favorite cuts and sides.
Our hand-welded brewery has the capacity to brew 250.000 liters of beer per year. Everything that can be manually operated on this scale is in fact done manually. This gives our Head brewer Kyle Wolak and Assistant brewer Lan-Xin Foo the opportunity to refine the beers down to the smallest details. When two front-runners like 3Floyds and Mikkeller team up, it means there are no compromises made on anything. We are always refreshing our 20 taps with new beer. Our tap list above is updated daily.
For the little ones or big ones that are more soda thirsty we have a broad selection of bottomless soda. For 6 years, Maine Root´s Fair Trade Certified and organically sweetened Sodas have been creating fans from New England to Texas. And now also here in Copenhagen. As the only place in Denmark, WarPigs offer these tasty pops on our big soda fountain.
From the States we bring to you Andrew Hroza, one of those master chefs who has done everything from catering Hell´s kitchen to feeding Slipknot and Van Halen. Through touring with bands he has tried barbecue all over the world, training his pallet to perfection. OUR meat will be smoked between 12-14 hours to ensure that IT will be so tender that it simply falls apart. We have two gigantic high quality smokers, the biggest in Europe, that can smoke up to 2 tons of meat a day.
