Where are you Jeep?
Where is your direct support for recreation?
"Why the Jeep Wrangler is such a money spinner for FCA
By Glenn Brooks 6 July 2017 just-auto.com
There are certain cars that just keep on selling, no matter what their age. The Wrangler is about to enter its tenth year of production and yet sales keep rising. As was the case in 2016, production looks like being in excess of 250,000 units in 2017 too."
Is it because four wheelers keep buying them?
It could make such a difference to the ability of UFWDA and our associated organizations to advocate to federal, state and local policymakers if there was some financial support from the Jeep brand, which has certainly benefited from the efforts of volunteers to grow interest and to retain opportunities to four wheel on public lands.
The new Jaguar E-Pace SUV might be a little harder to modify than a Jeep, but it looks like it's thrown down an interesting challenge.
With the UFWDA online annual meeting scheduled for 22 August 2017 you are reminded that we are looking to fill some BoD positions and have a series of annual awards waiting for nominations from our U.S. and international membership.

Can New Jeep Trails Be Opened?
By Jerry Smith
YES, in some places the United Four Wheel Drive Associations are still creating new Jeep trails or reopening old Jeep trails.
After an "exploration" and mapping trip on Thursday, June 29, 2017, I am ecstatic about the prospect of creating a connector trail between the Pace Lake Jeep Trail and the Z2.4 Road (Cone Mountain Trail). This would create a loop trail of approximately 30-miles.
We found that a trail shown on maps as a non-motorized trail is an abandoned 2-track that has a ton of overgrowth encroaching, but the trail is mostly still very recognizable and wouldn't take much to re-establish.
We (the Grand Mesa Jeep Club and United Four Wheel Drive Associations) are already working with the BLM, the USFS, and a private landowner to bring all of this to fruition, but that is what we do as members of the Grand Mesa Jeep Club and United Four Wheel Drive Associations.
This "connector" trail was proposed to the BLM years ago and the USFS last year at the beginning of their Forest Plan review. These things are never a "quick fix". You MUST be "persistently patient"… persist on a REGULAR basis with the expectation that government moves at its own pace.
Thank you to our supportive clubs!
The Vegas Valley 4 Wheelers club and associated regional 4WD groups pleased to inform you that our membership has selected your group as one of the land use advocates to support with a portion of the proceeds from our most recent annual fund raising event. Our non-profit guided trail ride event which is in its 36th year is called the Hump N Bump. Besides supporting our favorite land use advocates our event supports other worthy causes including the Cappa lappa Community Center, Logandale Volunteer Fire Department and the Logandale Police Department.
The Hump N Bump is an internationally recognized low speed, low impact guided family trail ride event event that promotes responsible use of our public lands and has an excellent reputation for being safe and showing our participants a wonderful experience. The Hump N Bump utilizes trails of various difficulty in Southern Nevada and the Valley of Fire State Park.
The worthy causes and the amounts we are able to donate change from year to year based on the success of our event and whom our club members and volunteers feels that need or deserve our support the most. Our fundraising comes primarily from our event raffle proceeds from products and services donated from event sponsors. Our club is a 501C3 and donations are tax deductible. If you have contacts with sponsors that may be interested in supporting our event, please tell them about our event.
Attached please find a check in the amount of $500
Our 36th Annual Hump N Bump will be November 3rd and 4th 2017 and is based from the Clark County Fairgrounds in Logandale Nevada.
For questions or information on our event please contact Hump N Bump Chairman Jeff Jorgensen @ (702) 499-9475 or W4W President Mike Geiger @ Vegasvalley4wheelers@gmail.co

New Mexico Forest Plan Revision Update
Here are the latest developments and public engagement opportunities for each of New Mexico's National Forests as of July, 2017:
Carson National Forest: The first draft of the revised plan is scheduled to be released for public comment later this year. The Carson is also still holding informal monthly "open house" meetings at the Supervisor's office. The next scheduled meeting is July 19th from noon to 2:00 pm. You can keep up with the Carson National Forest Plan revision process HERE .
Santa Fe National Forest: There has been no change in status this past month. The Santa Fe is roughly the same stage of the plan revision process as the Carson. Their current timeline shows a draft EIS released for public comment this fall. They have announced information on a series of public open houses throughout the summer. The locations/times/dates and the place to keep tabs on everything related to the Santa Fe National Forest Plan revision process is HERE.
Gila National Forest:
The Gila National Forest is holding a pair of two-day works on "Frequent Fire Desired Conditions". While these workshops are not directly related to the ongoing Forest Plan revision, the desired conditions are very closely related to the information that will appear in the draft revised Forest Plan. These workshops are being held August 1-2 in Reserve, New Mexico and August 3-4 in Silver City, NM.
Everything related to the Gila National Forest Plan revision process can be found at the Gila Forest Plan Revision page located HERE.
Cibola National Forest:There has been no change in status this past month. The Cibola has announced that their schedule is slipping due to a short staffing situation. The draft revised EIS/Forest Plan is now scheduled to be released for public comment late this year. All of the Cibola National Forest Plan revision process updates can be found HERE .
Lincoln National Forest: No changes or updates for the past month. They are still working on the first draft of their initial "Assessment". It should be out for public scrutiny early in 2017 when they will also have a series of public workshops on drafting the "Need for Change" document. The best place to keep track of the Lincoln's Forest Plan revision process is HERE.
These revised Forest Plans for all five of our New Mexico National Forests will be the basis for our recreation on Forest lands for at least the next fifteen years. That makes them IMPORTANT! Please continue to stay actively involved during the LONG Forest Plan revision process.
See the NMOHVA Calendar for all the upcoming event details and contacts.
Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and
Gunnison National Forests
The GMUG is finally starting its Plan Revision! Our Notice of Intent to Initiate Assessments published June 2, officially kicking off the planning process. For now, our team is sifting through information to get a picture of current conditions and trends on the Forests. This summer, we'll host a series of public open houses and webinars so we can hear from you about what's working, and what's not, on the GMUG. What changes have you noticed? What changes do you want to see? In the fall, we will publish our draft assessments for more feedback.
Planning is a long process – it will take us at least three years to revise the Forest Plan. Throughout, use this website as way to stay connected and informed.

USMC announces Johnson Valley
closure dates
The Johnson Valley Shared Use Area will be temporarily closed to the public August 1-30, 2017, while the Marine Corps conducts military training to support a large-scale exercise.
This closure period will include the time required to ensure the Shared Use Area is clear of recreation activity prior to training and confirm the land is clear of hazards prior to reopening the land for public access. The adjacent Johnson Valley OHV Recreation Area will remain open to the public during the closure of the Shared Use Area. The Marine Corps will continue to conduct outreach to ensure the public is informed of the temporary change in land use.
UFWDA can still use help.
There are several roles within our volunteer Board of Directors (BoD) that it would be good to have candidates for at our August AGM.
If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you... email Tom Mandera
How four guys introduced off-roading to Vietnam
The Phan brothers are blazing trails for a growing off-road community
It's high noon on a scorching day in December in a muddy, lakeside park in southeast Vietnam, and a pack of off-roaders have taken over for the day. A couple hundred feet infield of the park entrance, a three-door Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 is stuck in the mud, spinning its wheels. Meanwhile, on another end of the park with a similarly muddy puddle, a roofless, windshield-less Vietnam War-era Jeep is splashing with abandon, ripping around with the gusto of a sports car. A Chevrolet Colorado is a quarter-mile out in the lake, just sitting there. Under tent cover from the blazing, midday sun, men and women sit in a circle imbibing cold beers. A couple of high-end drones are flying overhead to capture all the activity. An intrepid Ford Ranger, bedecked in skid plates and auxiliary lights, attempts to redeem the FJ60's miscalculated entrance, but it, too, becomes quickly mired in the muck.
Actually, everyone at the weekend gathering of the Vulcan 4x4 off-road club is stuck. These off-roaders intentionally challenge themselves with nearly impossible obstacles and course designs in order to enhance their skills. In failure, they learn to succeed. To wit, the mucky bog that acts as the way into the park's off-road area is hardly the clearest path—yet each entrant insists on plowing through it, then grunting and laughing as his truck is pulled to dry land. (What's that they say about the definition of insanity?)
It's just a typical day at the shore with some good ol' boys, Vietnam-style, and it's all thanks to the efforts of the four Phan brothers who decided to introduce off-roading culture to Vietnam.

Round3 integrates with one-to-one, allows for deeper questioning, discussion during peer-feedback.
Larry DeMoss, an English teacher at Edgewood High School, piloted Round3 in his W131 Reading, Writing, and Inquiry dual credit course during the Spring of 2016. The class, which allowed students to earn both high school and college credit, traditionally relied on face-to-face peer editing and conferences.
Round3 integrated seamlessly with the school's one-to-one technology program, which distributes chromebooks to each student for use in-class and at home. The three-month pilot allowed DeMoss to use Round3 to provide four rounds of feedback across three large writing assignments. DeMoss believes Round3 helped eliminate many of the weaknesses he noticed with traditional feedback.
"Usually, face-to-face sessions focus on mechanical mistakes and vague, general comments," DeMoss said. "What I found was that Round3...does make the peer-editing process more useful for both the editor and the student whose paper is being reviewed."
Students used Round3 for major writing assignments such as Comparative Critique and Comparative analysis. The Round3 software facilitated feedback by allowing students to respond to targeted questions and facilitate discussion beyond the surface level comments DeMoss usually overhears.
Following the conclusion of the course, students were asked to provide feedback for Round3 and gauge whether the tool assisted their learning. Over 75% of respondents believe Round3 feedback helped them revise their work. On average, students reported spending 25 minutes reviewing peer work and 20 minutes writing feedback. Several students commented on the learning process that is created when you both give and receive feedback.
Round3 extended peer feedback beyond simple mechanical mistakes and vague, general comments students had received before using the software.
Round3 promoted deeper questioning and discussion than typical experienced in face-to-face peer feedback sessions.
Round3 increased the depth and breadth of the peer feedback process for both students and the teacher.

LEE KEE first half profit up 157% HK$26mn
The company continues to fortify all areas of operation to ensure further development in the future amidst volatility in the global economy.
LEE KEE Holdings Limited ("LEE KEE"), a leading metals supply chain company, on Friday announced the unaudited interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2011 ("Interim Period").
Despite subdued global economic activity, LEE KEE managed to increase its gross profit from approximately HK$54.5 million to approximately HK$75.8 million. Profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company substantially improved to approximately HK$26.0 million for the Interim Period, up from approximately HK$10.1 million for the corresponding period of 2010 – mainly achieved through effective inventory management. However, revenue declined by 8.9% from the same period last year, down from approximately HK$1,858 million to approximately HK$1,693 million. Concurrently, volume sold by LEE KEE tumbled from 86,520 metric tones for the corresponding period of 2010, to 76,320 metric tonnes for the first half of 2011, representing a year-on-year decrease of 11.8%.
Basic earnings per share were HK3.14 cents (first half of 2010: HK1.22 cent). The Board has decided to declare the payment of an interim dividend of HK1 cent per share (first half of 2010: HK1 cent per share).
Ms. Clara Chan, Chief Executive Officer of LEE KEE, said, "The global economy continued to show signs of volatility during the period under review, with the United States, Europe and Japan in particular facing different yet equally thorny issues. Despite the drop in turnover and tonnage sold, LEE KEE has successfully combated generally weak market conditions and achieved strong bottom line growth thanks to effective inventory management. We also continued penetrating the PRC domestic market, upholding and expanding our foothold while laying a solid foundation for the Group's future growth. It is also worthy of note that during the review period, LEE KEE's zinc alloy sales volume represented approximately 72% of the PRC's total zinc alloy import volume."
In the aftermath of the severe earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, many factories suspended production. As a result, the manufacturing sector in China suffered from falling exports, particularly during the second quarter of the year. Nevertheless, exports to Japan will gradually recover due to the one-off nature of the natural disaster, and will be boosted by anticipated strong demand arising from rebuilding the stricken areas of Japan.
Capitalising on China's burgeoning economic growth, which is driven by domestic consumption, increasing urbanisation, and further infrastructure developments that include honing of the railway and highway networks, LEE KEE is geared to capture forecasted strong domestic demand for metal processing products, according to a LEE KEE report.
Priding itself on expertise in the metal industry, solid financial foundation, professional teamwork and sound operational structure, the LEE KEE Group will continue to fortify all areas of operation, ensuring further development in the future. In addition to its sales and distribution centres in Wuxi, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, a new branch office in Chengdu, Western China, has been established through which the Group will be able to seize business opportunities presented within the district, while continuing to integrate Promet's competitive edges with its service offerings. LEE KEE will also closely monitor Eastern China to explore any opportunities that may arise in the future.
Ms. Chan concluded, "Looking ahead, LEE KEE is poised to rekindle its growth momentum once the global economy shows signs of resurgence. When such signs appear, we will react with the same vigour, commitment and vision that enabled us to develop our unrivalled range of customer services, market intelligence, technical support, global sourcing ability and diverse group of loyal customers."

It's not just about being trendy and saving money. Being Green is an ethos – a way of life we all need to adapt to and embrace. We've done quite a bit since we bought the place in early 2015 and there's still a more to do.
Solar assisted geysers: With an abundance of sunshine almost year round in KZN, we are perfectly situated to take advantage of solar assisted geysers. These geysers only allow grid electricity to be applied during peak usage times and when and if it does, the water has been kept to a usable temperature, ensuring electricity flow is kept to a minimum.
LED energy saving devices: Out with the old and in with the new. We are on a quest to upgrade the establishment from the older style of electrical devices, such as TVs and lights that guzzle electricity, to the newer and lighter mode of LED's. It's a lengthy and expensive transition, but we are already seeing the difference in savings, plus the piece of mind that this will ultimately make a difference in our overall consumption of power.
Recycling: This is where we talk dirty! We split all our glass, plastic, tin and paper and ensure that it goes to the correct recycling channels. We also collect all of our organic off cuts (be it vegetable & fruit peelings, leftover meals, mowed grass, fallen leaves etc) and process it into a liquid folia plant fertilizer. This is a project that we are very proud of, as although basic, we are able to harvest this valuable commodity and put it straight back into our garden, which is always flourishing and abundant and at the same time uses very little water to maintain.
In the office we keep all scrap paper to print on the reverse side and any old, electronic equipment is donated to the Electric Cemetary – where it's broken down then recycled and donated to worthy charities.
Load shedding and black outs: A South African favourite! Always inconvenient and frustrating, it has now spawned a whole new demand on alternate power sources, most of which are very costly. Some end up being just as harmful to the environment and place similar strain on the power grid, although indirectly. Generators are a fine example. Although power is supplied during an outage, the demand on fuel is increased, then there is the high noise pollution, plus the added carbon emission from the exhaust, not to mention the high cost of the equipment. At Mackaya Bella, we rather choose to find something else to do when our computers and TV's are not working and with our LED emergency lights in each room plus our Solar geysers, minimal inconvenience is experienced and tranquility remains intact.
Education and changing mindsets: Part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint is by educating those around us. By training staff to turn off lights/TV's/Air Conditioners, using grey water for the gardens, reporting dripping taps, using gas ovens instead of electric, keeping organic matter for recycling etc, they not only help our guest house to become more energy efficient, but the ladies take this information home with them and hopefully educate their communities. Guests are also asked to keep water usage to a minimum with Water Saving signs in each room, asking not to wash towels every day unless absolutely necessary and keeping shower times to a minimum.
Products: Bare Essentials is our main supplier and they provide us with locally designed and manufactured (low carbon footprint) products and environmentally-friendly biodegradable cleaning products that conform to international standards. They are paraben free, predominantly organic and not tested on animals.
We use Mattress Clean to clean all our beds as they are chemical free. Dirt, bugs and any other yukky stuff, are removed using high pressure suction, whilst at the same time an antibacterial ray is passed through the mattress, killing the bacterial viruses and fungus. An organic biodegradable odour neutralizer is then applied, so we end up with sweet smelling, hygienically clean mattresses!
We've just purchased a wonderful new machine that makes Water from Air! Yes, you read that correctly. Water from Air captures the moisture from the humidity present in the atmosphere and uses this to produce drinking water. Because the Water from Air unit works by harvesting the humidity in the air, it also acts as an effective dehumidifier to keep us healthy and improve the performance of other home appliances. To ensure that the water produced is of the highest quality, Water from Air utilises multiple filtration technology.
Water from Air provides a sustainable, low cost, safe, clean and reliable water supply with a low environmental impact – a great alternative to established water sourcing and bottling plants.
According to a study by the Pacific Institute in California, as well as numerous other reputable sources, it requires the equivalent of 1.5Kwh of energy to supply a litre of bottled water. Whereas, Water from Air requires 0.33Kwh of energy to produce a litre of Water from Air. That's a reduction of 78% in energy use. And best of all – it's a South African company based here in Durban. Gotta love that!
Indigenous gardens: When Mackaya Bella was established, an indigenous garden theme was chosen. Due to carefully chosen plants, the garden always has something in bloom year round and requires very little water to sustain it. With the Province frequently experiencing near drought conditions, we are happy to say we use very little water on its upkeep.
Rain water harvesting and irrigation: A rain water harvesting system has been installed in order to make water available to the gardens through a micro mist jet irrigation system. These systems are by far more efficient than the old hose & sprinkler methods and ours are fed by water collected from the heavens above. It's an ongoing project, so as time goes on we hope to increase our holding capacity from the present 3200lt to well over 5000lt. We have also started to collect our grey water, from sinks and showers. At the moment it's quite primitive – we stand in big, shallow buckets inside the shower and then carry the water out to our Jojo tank. Don't worry – it's only us and our staffs shower water, not guests – yet this saves us about 100litres a day.

Constitutional amendments won't resolve country's political crisis: SF
Constitutional amendments will not resolve the country's political crisis, a Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka told Parliament yesterday.
"You have to take action against a school principal whenever he abuses a child in the school rather than abolishing the principal's post," he said.
"I don't see how a constitutional amendment would help Sri Lanka. What we need is a change in the political culture. Neither a constitutional amendment nor the appointment of an interim government is going to help Sri Lanka at that moment. Also, we don't want to take up a position in a government which is formed by groups that are thinking of their survival at this moment," he added.
He said even bringing no-confidence motions will not help. Those who are protesting in the streets want a change in the political culture. Those youths who stage protests have our blessings and the backing. I therefore would like to tell these youths in the street not to give up their struggle. Their victory is at hand. I would also like to appeal to the public to support them and provide them with what they need," he said.
Referring to the Rambukkana attack, he said the OIC of the area had got two persons to shoot at the protesters. "This OIC had come to the scene after consuming liquor. Chaminda Lakshan who was killed during the protest was never involved in any form of violence," he alleged (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

United Autosports is in strong contention for all three Asian Le Mans Series titles after the 4 Hours of Fuji today (9 Dec) – the Japanese race marking the mid-point of the four-race championship the Anglo-American team is contesting for the first time.
Second-place today earns #22 of Phil Hanson (GB) and Paul Di Resta (GB) a three-point lead in the overall LMP2 rankings with the similar #23 Ligier JS P2 Nissan of Guy Cosmo (US), Patrick Byrne (US) and Salih Yoluc (TUR) leading the LMP2 Am category and equal fourth in the overall standings following a second in class and fifth overall in Japan.
Furthermore United is placed second (#3) – 11 points off the lead – after Matt Bell (GB), Kay van Berlo (NED) and Christian England (GB) earned United its maiden Asian LMP3 class win, with the #2 of Wayne Boyd (GB), Chris Buncombe (GB) and Garett Grist (CAN) recording fifth, placing them third in championship standings.
The UK-based team has now claimed three overall podium finishes, a LMP2 Am class win plus two LMP3 podiums after two races. The 4hr race around the 2.84-mile, 16-turn Fuji Speedway began with moisture in the air and in a cold ambient temperature with rain falling approaching the end of the first hour.
#2 (Buncombe) and #3 (Bell) began from second and third spots respectively courtesy of the qualifying efforts of Grist and van Berlo but switched positions on the opening lap. #3 & #2 held second – 9 seconds off the LMP3 lead – and fifth with 30 minutes gone. Fourth-placed #2 stopped on 55 minutes, the second-placed #3 taking on fuel/wets and England climbing aboard 6 minutes later. He came very close to taking the class lead on 75 minutes but was thwarted due to a brief power shut down and diminishing tyre grip. #2 pitted on 103 minutes with Grist taking over, the second-placed #3 doing likewise at the halfway mark now in the hands of van Berlo.
#3 briefly snatched the class lead for the first time with 66 minutes to go when the #13 car the Dutchman had been fighting with pitted, van Berlo resuming after it had pitted for fuel/slicks on 63 minutes, 5 seconds adrift of the leading #13 – fourth-placed #2 pitting for Boyd moments later, Grist having survived a spin earlier in his stint just in front of the dicing #13 & #3. Van Berlo grabbed the lead briefly after the Safety Car re-start but went wide in avoidance of another car at the last corner, although the Dutchman was not to be denied and moments later re-took the LMP3 class lead. He took the chequered flag 3.584 seconds ahead – while #2 dropped to fifth in the closing stages after serving a drive through penalty for overtaking under yellow flags.
"There is everything to play for in terms of the championships going into the second half of the season which is very pleasing. Phil has been mega in the #22 from Friday morning but he and Paul were unlucky not to earn us our first Asian LMS overall win today. Phil was magnificent in getting us our first pole, drove stunning stints to lead the race in extremely difficult conditions, but our strategy options are limited with a two-driver line-up of a platinum [Di Resta] and silver [Hanson] FIA rated drivers with Paul only able to run a maximum of 90 minutes in the car.


Over the last year, I've trained a few people who have never written code before (one of which transitioned from a design to developer job), and worked with relatively new developers. Below are a few of the topics that have come up in that time.
Readable code is better than clever code.
By looking at the first function name and its argument list, it isn't 1) immediately obvious what the function does or 2) even hint at what it does. The second function makes it fairly obvious as to what it does without looking at the function's internals.
The exception here is if it's contrary to the first tip above.
A higher line count of code is not the sign of a good job. The object of programming isn't to write a lot of code - it's to solve a problem, create something, etc. The less code you have to write, the better. Less code is usually easier to maintain and less complex.
People aren't mind readers - you have to talk with your team. Need help? Ask. Have an idea? Share it. See an issue with the project? Speak up, no matter the size of the issue. A bug left unchecked can easily affect other areas of the code, and create bigger issues.
This is not unique to remote/distributed teams. I've worked with fully remote teams where the communication was great. We talked regularly throughout the day and got a lot of stuff done. Email, messenger, text, a phone call, Slack, Google Hangouts, etc. The form doesn't really matter (though some things are better suited to certain types of communication) so much as simply communicating.
I've also worked on completely local teams where communication was lacking. Inevitably, questions arose about who's doing what, what needs to be done, and what are our priorities. Lack of communication is one of the biggest hindrances to any team and its projects.
Communication is a must, regardless of how the team is structured.
This can be tough, especially when you're starting out. Don't give up though!
One of the benefits to reading other people's code is you get to see other styles and techniques. Code is as varied as people are. While there are good arguments for certain styles and techniques, there are equally good counter arguments.
In reading others' code, you'll discover a number of things that could help you write better code. Maybe a new design pattern, a new core function in your chosen language, or how part of an API is built. All of these (and more) can spark ideas of your own and help improve your own skills.
When you get stuck and need help with a specific code problem, ask someone! Google is great for common problems, but when you're dealing with project specific tasks, you might need another pair of eyes or someone to talk through the issue. You'd be surprised how often that helps.
And for those career, industry, design, etc., questions - reach out to those offering to help or answer questions. Personally, I find a lot of joy in teaching people and answering their questions. I know a lot of other developers that do, too.
In my experience, the majority of developers are happy to help others. The community on dev.to is an excellent example of that.
One of my favorite Twitter threads was started by Stephanie Hurlburt.
The list of people that are willing to answer questions is amazing. Even more so is the variety of skill levels and backgrounds of those willing to help.
A lot of people want to help in whatever way they can - don't be afraid to ask!
What are some of your favorite tips for new devs?
In "Communication is required", I would add "Learn to resume concisely your work": it will help you to explain your code to someone else, to write perfect documentations, comments and commit messages. For this point "Read other people's code" (especially big open-source projects in the same language) can help.
Interesting article, enjoyable to read and very instructive. Thanks!


Civic sense is totally zero!!!!
One is entitled to spoil, throw thrash, damage the public property in India. Then visit abroad for a short time for a month or two; then complain how filthy is our public environment.
First of all, good pics Haidex .
Regarding the misuse of our new buses, SETC should advertise in public that such things are causing a disgrace, they should even take pics of these and hang up them in bus bays asking passengers not to mishandle things !
The biggest problem with us Indians is that we are not ready to change but are ready to speak blah blah blah !
Did you check online portals ?

Towards more customer-centric travel experiences
VR Group
Our work with VR Group as technology partner in a multi-vendor environment has helped Finland's biggest rail operator offer better and more customer-centric experiences for both commuters and long-distance passengers.
Node,js
As we embarked on the journey of radically improving the level of service we provide passengers in all our channels and employees that interact with them, we needed a dependable partner active in all its aspects. Futurice was and continues to be that partner.
Marika Schugk
Head of Digital - Passenger Traffic, VR Group
Wherever you are on your innovation journey, our services and experts can help you along the way. Start solving future problems today by building your organization's innovation capabilities!
VR Group wanted to improve the experiences they offered to customers of their passenger rail traffic services - especially ticket sales for both commuter and long-distance travel. This business-critical area is responsible for almost half of VR Group's turnover and the old monolithic system needed to be replaced. In addition to a system renewal, VR Group wanted to become a generally more customer-centric organisation better equipped to serve passengers in a changing world.
The key was to thoroughly renew and modernise all passenger traffic ticket sales systems and channels for both commuter and long-distance travel. As a whole, it's a business critical environment, monitored 24/7/365 and with very little room for error. We worked with VR Group to replace the old monolithic system with a modern, cloud-based system utilising a microservice architecture. VR Group employed a multi-vendor model where Futurice worked as a strategic partner - sometimes as a part of a team, other times taking end-to-end responsibility for a whole stream.
As a part of the ticket sales renewal we worked on seven different systems, starting with a transitional system at vr.fi for commuter ticket sales, soon replaced by a new comprehensive service for selling both commuter and long-distance tickets. The same paradigm was applied to mobile services - a transitional commuter ticket service was created and then replaced with a service offering both ticket types.
We worked as the technology partner in a multi-vendor team that renewed the group's ticket vending machines. Our role involved building the robust technical infrastructure as well as consulting on how the hardware and software work together for the approximately 130 ticket vending machines VR Group operates all around Finland.
We designed the UX and worked on the technical development of a mobile Android app that functions as a sales and customer service channel for conductors to use. Together with a multi-vendor team, we also built a customer service solution used for e.g. the management and cancellation of purchased tickets.
We designed an architecture and developed a messaging platform that enables seamless context related messaging from traffic disruption messages to personalised messages to the users.
In the context of a holistic systems renewal, our multidisciplinary teams worked on a variety of areas in the different streams: building an understanding of and insight into customer needs; all aspects of UX design; front and backend development; enterprise architecture design; and product ownership.
Renewal of ticket sales systems realised utilising DevOps philosophy and practices
Customer-centric shift in mindset
Modern technologies and agile software development paradigms in place
Cloud transformation and data journey started
Change from big bang launches to incremental releases and constant improvement
VR Group is the biggest rail service operator in Finland. The ticket sales system channels are some of the most business critical high availability systems the group has, accounting for approximately half of their revenue. In addition to ticket sales, these systems are extensively used to keep passengers up-to-date related departures, arrivals and delays in rail traffic. VR Group's employees are provided with data about passengers and reservation rates.
Making sure the system delivers the level of service passengers and VR Group employees expect, dependably and securely, is imperative.
The new, modern cloud-based system utilises many of the automated capabilities for scaling, accessibility, security and disaster recovery the AWS environment offers. The sales system and related channels have to work 24/7 on every day of the year and the service-level agreement (SLA) is set at 99.9%.
About VR Group
VR Group is a Finnish state-owned company operating in the field of travel, logistics and rolling stock maintenance. The group primarily operates in Finland, but it also has operations abroad, especially in Russia VR's passenger services offer transport services in long-distance and commuter traffic with trains and buses.

Das Fenster Leben von Bertrand du Guesclin in der Kapelle des Schlosses Montmuran in Les Iffs, einer französischen Gemeinde im Département Ille-et-Vilaine in der Region Bretagne, wurde 1891 geschaffen. Das Bleiglasfenster wurde im Jahr 2000 als Teil der Schlosskapelle als Monument historique in die Liste der Baudenkmäler in Frankreich aufgenommen.

Das viergeteilte Fenster stammt aus einer unbekannten Werkstatt. Es stellt das Leben von Bertrand du Guesclin († 1380) dar, der ein bedeutender bretonischer Heerführer und Connétable von Frankreich war. Unten wird seine zweite Heirat mit Jeanne de Laval-Tinténiac (um 1360–1433) im Jahr 1373 thematisiert. Das Schloss Montmuran wurde von Jeanne de Laval-Tinténiac in die Ehe eingebracht.

Im Maßwerk sind die verschiedenen Wappen seiner Familie und die Allianzwappen zu sehen.

Former Player Mitchell Part of Hires To Hoops Staff
BATON ROUGE – LSU men's basketball Coach Will Wade announced three more additions to the Tiger basketball program, including one former LSU player.
Joining the program are: former Tiger Tasmin Mitchell who will serve as Director of Student-Athlete Development; Nelson Hernandez, who will serve as Director of Basketball Operations; and Greg Goldin, who joins the Tigers as strength and conditioning coach.
Both Hernandez and Goldin are joining Coach Wade from the staff at VCU.
"The addition of Tasmin, Nelson and Greg allows us to take several steps forward in the building of our staff here at LSU," said Coach Wade. "It is very exciting to have a former LSU player of Tasmin Mitchell's reputation join our staff. He will work closely with our players and his knowledge of the LSU program is very important to us. I am pleased that Nelson and Greg could join us here at LSU and their additions will also help to continue to move our program in the proper direction."
Mitchell, who was the 2017 SEC Basketball Legend representing LSU at the SEC Basketball Tournament, played for the Tigers from 2005-10. He is just one of nine players in LSU history to start on two SEC Championship teams (2006, 2009) and helped the Tigers reach the 2006 NCAA Final Four. He finished his career third all-time at LSU in scoring (1,989), sixth in rebounds (950), fifth in field goals made, eighth in steals and 10th in assists.
In the present era of NCAA statistics, he is one of just three Tigers (joining Clarence Ceasar and Jerry Reynolds) to have 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 100 steals in a career.
Mitchell, a native of Denham Springs, Louisiana, played several seasons of professional basketball both in this country and abroad, before spending the last year back in his hometown.
Mitchell, age 30, graduated from LSU with a degree in Communications Studies in 2010.
Hernandez served this past season (2016-17) as the director of operations at VCU. Prior to that he served a one-year stint (2015-16) as a director of player development and an administrative assistant at Wright State and was video coordinator at Clemson (2014-15). He spent four seasons (2010-14) as the video coordinator at Utah State. Hernandez spent the 2009-10 season as assistant coach for Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Brooklyn, New York native was the founder, CEO and director of the Native American Youth to Elder Foundation (NAYEF)/Warrior Elite Basketball from 2004-10. Hernandez partnered with NBA legend Magic Johnson to promote healthy living, education, drug prevention and inspire youth to greatness through basketball. The organization reached over 75,000 youth throughout the years.
Hernandez in 2011 assisted in the production and creation of the award-winning basketball documentary about future Louisville women's basketball guards Shone and Jude Schimmel called "Off the Rez" which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City and eventually made its way to the television screens of TLC and ESPN during the Women's Final Four in 2013.
The 40-year-old Hernandez, a 2013 graduate at Utah State, and his wife, June, have a 14-year-old son, Justin.
Goldin served with Coach Wade both at Chattanooga and VCU before joining his staff at LSU. He also served as strength and conditioning coach under Steve Prohm at Murray State during the 2012-13 season.
Goldin has worked hand-in-hand with Coach Wade at both of his previous stops to integrate technological advancements in player wellness in the weight room, the court and in all facets of the player's life including sleep studies and nutrition. His strength and conditioning routines are built to suit the aggressive style of play that is planned to be implemented at LSU like what has been played at VCU and Chattanooga under Wade.
A native of Ilion, New York, the 28-year-old Goldin is a 2011 graduate of Canisius College, where he received a degree in health and physical education, as well as health and human performance. Goldin married the former Meredith Mullins in June, 2016.

Industry Hills, Calif., Industry Hills Golf Club At Pacific Palms, The Ike Course And Babe Didrikson Zaharias Course
2011 / September 2011
For years, I have played this 36-hole combination of courses in Southern California. The Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms is a public course with a private feel, and it is rather easy to secure a tee time. I have played both courses — the Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike) Course and the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Course — and find them both very challenging. The Babe, named after the famed female athlete, is a little shorter but very narrow and difficult. The Ike, named after the former president and general, is longer and equally as challenging. One recent Sunday morning, I played a round at the Ike with some industry colleagues.
The course history does not tell players that the entire layout is built on one of the oldest landfills in Southern California. Ken, one of our foursome, gleaned this information from a reputable source in the waste management field. I was frankly shocked that I was unaware of this tidbit, considering the dollars I have dropped at this course over the past 25 years entertaining clients. Thismight explain some of the trash shots I have hit off the tees!
Seriously, you'd never suspect this history of the Industry voted National Golf Course of the Year by the National Golf Course Owners Association. The course has undergone a five-year renovation, keeping it at the top of its game. William F. Bell was the architect for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Course, which was opened to the public in 1979. Featuring 7,211 yards from the black tees with a rating of 75.1 and a par of 72, the Ike has been the proud host of many U.S. Open qualifying tournaments as well as LPGA tour events.
(534 yards, par 5)
This dogleg was in the process of renovation when we played the Ike but is still worth a report. From the tee box, many a weekend golfer will try to cut the corner, as Ken and Frank did, and end up in the brush and trees (not to mention the out-of-bounds stakes). The smart move is a clean shot straight ahead but avoiding the pond that sits at the dogleg's turn. Eric and I did exactly that, which set us up for a second shot within chipping distance of the green for par.
The No. 1 handicapped hole might not be the most difficult (see Frank Loverme's analysis on rankings which follows), but it is very challenging indeed. You need to slightly draw your ball to proper position for the approach to the green. A series of traps around the landing area will catch wayward tee shots. The best way to stay out of trouble is to aim for the "fat" of the green.
This hole is difficult not only for the length but also for the narrowness of the fairway and the tree line on either side. Your tee shot must be to the center of the fairway, avoiding the bunkers left and right. My ball sliced over the trap and — I believe — was picked up by another foursome. This kept me out of contention for the hole, much to the grins of my teammates. The green is uphill and requires a little more club; at the same time you must avoid the three guarding bunkers.
This is a great finishing hole; and as we were playing a round of "wolf," it was up to Frank to bet all or nothing to come out even. From the tee box, a lot of golfers are attracted to the right side and the fairway bunker, which sits about 250 yards away. On this rather straight hole, the pond on the left seems to be the magnet for the second shot. There was a great deal of struggle among the group. I was fortunate with my drive and second shot, but my approach hooked over the left side of the green and left me with a downhill chip, which I bladed past the cup. The clear winner was Ken with a par — Frank walked away with a score I would rather not disclose. This was settled at the 19th hole.

The No. 1 Handicapped Hole May Not be the Hardest
By Frank Loverme
Thinking it's the toughest on the course, most weekend golfers tense up on the tee box of the no. 1 handicapped hole. actually, for a duffer, every once in a while the no. 1 handicapped hole might be the best chance he'll have all day to get a par and win a hole against a superior partner.
The USGa's purpose of rating holes is to determine the holes where strokes can be given by players with lower handicaps to equalize the difference in skills with lesser golfers. Periodically, the USGa sends out a team to each course to determine each hole's handicap rating. like so much else in the USGa's mysterious handicap system, the results of these analyses are closely guarded secrets.
The common fallacy is that the USGa's handicap ratings are directly correlated to difficulty. in reality, the ratings are calculated on each hole's variation in scores between two test group samples of "scratch golfers" and "bogey golfers" for men and for women.
The USGa defines a scratch golfer as a player who plays to the standard of a qualifier in the U.S. Men's or Women's amateur championships. he averages 250 yards off the tee and reaches a 470-yard hole in two shots. She averages 210 off the tee and reaches a 400-yard hole in two shots.
A male bogey golfer has a USGa handicap index of 17.5 to 22.4. he averages tee shots of 200 yards and can reach a 370-yard hole in two shots. A female bogey golfer has an index of 21.5 to 26.4, averages 150-yard tee shots and can reach a 280-yard hole in two shots.
The no. 1 handicapped hole usually is a long par 4 which the bogey golfer can't reach in two strokes. The scratch golfer, however, who is 250 yards off the tee, needs only a mid-iron to reach the green. For example, on a particular hole bogey golfers are lucky to average 5.1 strokes and the scratch group with a mix of pars and birdies averages 3.5. if that 1.6 swing in strokes creates the greatest variation of any hole on the front nine, it becomes the course's top-rated hole.
The USGa always awards no. 1 to the hole with the greatest variation in strokes between the two groups on the front nine and alternates with the back nine, which explains why the front nine always has the odd-numbered handicap holes.
Another likely no. 1 handicapped hole is a par 4 that has a pond diabolically placed so that a bogey golfer has to lay up, then risk a penalty to get over the water, and is left with 300 yards to a green which he can't possibly reach in one stroke. The scratch golfer confidently clears the water and, facing no other significant hazards, easily makes par with a good chance to birdie. Meanwhile, two of 10 bogey golfers put their first or second shot in the water and need two more shots to reach the green. Taken together, the difference in strokes between the two groups soars.
At industry hills, the eisenhower's 451-yard hole 12 rates as the no. 2 handicapped hole. The bogey golfer's 200-yard drive's landing area is at its narrowest, and his second shot is up a dogleg hill with the pin invariably tucked in the right-hand corner. While no pushover for a single-digit golfer, this hole is murder on the high handicapper.
Ike's second hole is rated as the no. 11 handicapped hole. Being a short, 366-yard par 4, to the uninformed its high rating suggests it's an easy hole. But it may well be ike's hardest hole on a fairly tough course (ike's slope is 135 and has a course rating of 73.2 for the blue tees). With a large pond guarding the length of the green's approach and a trap on the back that is only several yards from out of bounds, it offers lots of trouble for scratch and bogey golfers alike. although the extremely elevated tees make it tempting, it's not very likely to land a ball on the green without it rolling off into the out of bounds. So both groups have forced lay-ups — which takes away the big hitters' advantage and shrinks the variation in scores.
What also can happen on this hole is that the scratch golfer, in an effort to lay up, hits a perfectly struck 3-wood into the water. even with a lay-up, the treacherous slope on the front of the green can spin back the scratch golfer's crisply struck ball off the green and into the aqua. This is probably the hole in which a scratch golfer is most likely to take a penalty. While hole 2 may post the course's worst scores, the hole simply plays comparatively easier for the high handicapper.
While the no. 1 handicapped hole usually is tough, it actually can be the bogey golfer's greatest chance to par the hole. consider a par 4 that's a piece of cake for scratch golfers. While bogey golfers average a decent (for them) 5.2 strokes, the scratch group's rich mix of birdies creates a 3.5 stroke average, causing the greatest difference in scores between the two groups of any hole.
Now you should understand the calculus behind the misconceptions that cause certain high-handicapped holes to be not as difficult as you'd have thought (and others harder than the rating would suggest). So when you expound on this inside information in the comfort of the 19th hole lounge, you'll at least sound like you know more about golf than Mr. Single digit.

A Step Up: Premium Economy


As humans, we face a constant internal conflict between immediate gratification and more prudent living. This conflict is also apparent in society. How can we ensure that the homo economicus within us takes the decisions that best affect our lives, and economies?
Economists have long challenged the distinction drawn between vulgar pleasures and those which elevate the soul. Admittedly, those who understand the beauty of a work of art are happier than those who don't. The effort that needs to be expended to understand the artistic power of an opera is repaid by a more intense happiness, as with an investment. But this does not create a qualitative difference between opera and television, simply a difference in degree. Variables such as one's purpose in life or positive relations both with others and with oneself, count for much in the happiness of individuals. But why should these be opposed to the search for other, more trivial satisfactions such as a nice car or an attractive apartment? It's all a matter of proportion.
Like a king who has all the levers of power, homo economicus would be able to choose freely, according to this model, between good and evil, between spending time at work and having a lie-in. Can you believe that? Far from marshalling his concerns like a lawyer, every man is a composite of diverse personalities cohabiting more or less harmoniously. You can have an appointment that is vital for your career and still dive into a river to save a passer-by from drowning. There is no premeditation at work here. In response to an emotion, you switch from one state of mind to another.
In his book Is capitalism moral?, André Comte-Sponville proposed a very useful classification inspired by Pascal's three powers. While the latter distinguished between flesh, reason and the heart (which "has its reasons which reason does not know"), Comte-Sponville proposed four categories: the economy, politics, morality and love. Each has its own logic. A mother who looks after her children out of duty would be a bad mother. A male or female politician who relied upon morality to guide his or her actions would doubtless make a pitiful manager. Likewise, the economy has its own rules, those of calculation and a quest for profit, which are distinct from those of morality or politics.
The famous example of Ulysses and the sirens illustrates some possible methods. Jon Elster, who famously commented on this passage from Odyssey felt that Ulysses must "rationally manage his irrationality". I know what my temptations are, namely to succumb to the song of the sirens, I manage them by chaining the person I don't want to become to the mast. If I go on a diet to lose weight, I will avoid walking in front of a cake shop. If I need to save for my old age, I will make a non-liquid investment to avoid spending it. I fight against the person I might turn into. The homo economicus living inside me is having a hard time, he maximises a utility but doesn't know whose utility it is.
The conflict between the search for immediate gratification and concern to provide for the long term bears witness to the difficulty of being "reasonable". For many years economists thought that the problem was simply a trade-off between a reward today and one tomorrow. If you were to ask me whether I would like to have €100 tomorrow or €200 in a year and a day, I would say €200 in a year and a day. The return is good, so I'm quite happy to wait for my reward. But if you offered me a choice between €100 right this minute and €200 in a year's time, I would say €100 now, even though the interval in time between the two options remains the same (a year in both cases). This is because the present moment wakens a different individual to the one I wanted to be yesterday–somebody who wants everything "immediately"! If I understand my own temptations I will arrange things "in advance" to make sure that I don't have a choice, that way I will be obliged to accept €200 in a year's time without having the €100 option. Like Ulysses, I shall try to tie myself to a mast in order to rise above my status of alcoholic, pervert, glutton, etc.
Fortunately I'm not alone. Society helps me manage the most weighty decisions. Old age or sickness insurance is compulsory, as is education for children. The US, which allows greater personal choice in this area than Europe, is also the country where we can see the direst forms of poverty, and for this very same reason. The great US bankruptcy of 2008 is largely a result of the absurd way in which the most vulnerable members of the population were driven into over-indebtedness. Financial deregulation in the US did everything it could to push households into using their credit cards or taking out mortgages they couldn't afford. It untied Ulysses, and America drowned.

Q: Login From Shared Layout as a Partial View or View Component I have a sign-in option placed in the shared layout header. The goal is that user clicks on sign-in fills credentials and click the button, info will be saved in the session, the page will be refreshed and instead of sign-in, user profile icon etc will be shown.
I have placed HTML/razor code for Sign-In form and profile icon both in separate text files. And Created partial view with this code
<ul class="auth__nav">
@Html.Raw(ViewBag.FormToShow)

A Partial View load I want to check my session variables if they have values then get profile file code else login form code, but this action is not called
public PartialViewResult _SignIn()
    {
        string vFormtoShow = string.Empty;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Session.GetString("Username")))
        {
            vFormtoShow = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("LogOutForm.txt");
        }
        else vFormtoShow = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("SignInForm.txt");

        ViewBag.FormToShow = vFormtoShow;

        return PartialView();
    }

A: Instead of using .txt files, you can use (nested) partials for that.
You can have a _LogOutForm.cshtml file and a _SignInForm.cshtml file in Views/Shared.
Then, you would have a _UserAuth.cshtml partial in the same folder:
@if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Session.GetString("Username")))
{
    <partial name="_LogOutForm"/>
}
else
{
    <partial name="_SignInForm"/>
}

The <partial> tag helper renders a partial view by its name (without the extension).
I suggest you try out ASP.NET Core Identity, which is a full blown library for users and authentication.

The questions still continue to mount about whether Realtor® associations are required to make their websites complaint with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). NAR seems to think it should be on everyone's radar and is working with the Justice Department to gain clarification on how the Act may be applied. NAR has written an article, and created a video on the topic, and has established a field guide about the ADA overall. We will keep you posted as we learn more.


Our community has experienced unprecedented growth, but the benefits have not been broadly shared. Skyrocketing housing costs, growing inequality, structural unemployment, and worsening traffic threaten the very quality of life that we have worked so hard to build. I have worked in both Washington and California to address these growing concerns in any way that we can.
I have heard from many constituents about their struggle to continue living in our community with the quickly rising cost of housing. In fact, I spent a night in a homeless shelter, and I was struck by the number of families there with parents working one or two jobs but still unable to afford a home to call their own. No American should work full time and struggle to make ends meet. I have fought for federal housing vouchers and housing tax credits to build affordable apartments in our community. I have brought together renters, landlords, and other local leaders to discuss more local solutions to this problem. I have argued for increases to the federal minimum wage, so the rest of the country can follow California's lead in implementing a living wage. I have also advocated for increases in cost of living calculations in Social Security for seniors who have been disproportionately affected by housing cost changes on fixed incomes.
Since the Great Recession, I have worked tirelessly to lift those in need, connecting over 8,000 job seekers with employers in our community at Job Hunters Boot Camps my office puts together. Our district has relatively low unemployment, but it can be difficult and discouraging for many who have been squeezed out of the workforce by technological and workforce changes. I have worked to connect constituents with employers looking to hire.
We live in a dynamic community, filled with economic prosperity. We must make sure to remember those who have been left out of this growth, and make sure they are lifted along with our local economy.


Today I found an artist I purposely didn't listen to because I was stuck in my "Only my music is allowed, mine is better, yours is on the radio so it must not be that good" bubble.
David Gray is a musician, songwriter and producer from Sale, England. He has been nominated for four Brit Awards, (to me these nominees are the artists who inspire the winners and without their inspiration you do not have any music).
I've listened to every song on David Gray's new album Mutineers about 50 times.
I feel very lucky to have opened my eyes to his fresh, original sound that is now very familiarly David Gray. I'm reminded of Coldplay, Tracy Chapman and even Minus the Bear on "Girl like you" and Elliott Brood in "Last Summer".
I'm a big fan of music, most especially when it makes you feel, think and appreciate something new each listen… And if you enjoy drums then you will be pleased to note that this album highlights percussion in a fantastic way.

Biografia
Nato da Lorenzo e Caterina Antoniotti, fratello maggiore del sacerdote salesiano ed esploratore della Patagonia Alberto Maria, fu uno dei rinnovatori della cartografia in Italia, applicando il rigore scientifico nella rappresentazione visiva.

Nel giugno 1901 fondò a Roma l'«Istituto Geografico Italiano del dott. G. De Agostini & C.». Pubblicò come primo volume un Atlante scolastico. Nel 1904 avviò la pubblicazione del Calendario Atlante de Agostini, un agile volumetto che conteneva notizie geografiche abbinate al calendario annuale, che riscosse successivamente grande successo.

Nel 1908 De Agostini lasciò Roma e trasferì la sede dell'istituto a Novara, in Viale Roma. Nel 1919 cedette la proprietà dell'Istituto Geografico da lui fondato a Marco Adolfo Boroli e Cesare Angelo Rossi. La cartografia passò nel 1920 sotto la direzione del professor dottor Luigi Visintin, direttore scientifico dal 1920 al 1958.
