I think I know why nourish was the word God whispered to me this year. He knew what was ahead and knew that I would need to pay special attention to nourishing my relationships with my God, my family, my community and my health this year.
He knew that if I didn't pay attention there was a pretty solid chance that the wheels would just plum fall off.
And you know what, they almost did.
The first six weeks of 2016 have flown by. We've had a few unusual stressors come our way, but with those came unexpected opportunities. I had great plans for how I would be nourishing my faith, family, community and health this year, but God had other plans.
To be honest, there are a million better ways to increase your prayer life, strengthen your reliance on others, hold your family a little tighter and get healthier than a motorcycle accident, but we play the hand we are dealt.
Let's talk about my one word resolution and explore those four areas God placed on my heart, shall we?
So there I was, sitting in worship, all happy with myself for choosing joy as my one word for the year. Our senior pastor was speaking at a conference, so our executive pastor was preaching. I knew I was in for a treat as I always walked away with a fresh take on things after one of his sermons.
I pulled out the sermon notes and saw the topic — New Year's Resolutions. This was going to be great, I thought. Surely the confirmation I had lacked in my prayer life would come today. Joy it would be.

Tired of winter? Want to escape to somewhere warmer?
You're not alone. The crazy cold winter much of the U.S. and Canada has suffered through has sparked many warm-weather travel dreams.
But the last thing you want is to select a spot for your getaway – and find that the young spring break party crowd have beat you there. For an adult spring break that successfully dodges the hordes, consider a destination that fits into one of the following categories.
Costa Rica is the 2015 Virtuoso Luxe Report's top adventure destination. Guanacaste province in the northwest of the country has something for everyone. Explore volcanos, hike through rainforests, zipline over treetops, and surf at one of the famed beaches such as Tamarindo. With expanded flights into Liberia's international airport, visitors avoid the drive from San Jose.
Explore jungles, caves and the world's second largest barrier reef in Belize. Take in ancient Mayan pyramids, snorkel or dive, observe wildlife in sanctuaries, and hike in conservation areas and forest reserves. Or just lie on the beach.
Wine regions attract a more sophisticated demographic, so don't expect to see spring breakers.
Visiting Napa/Sonoma is the quintessential choice to enjoy not only the wine, but also the scenic views, sunshine, spas and dining.
Another exceptional destination for an adult spring break where wine is front and center is the Mendoza region of Argentina. Travelers can also challenge themselves with activities such as rock climbing and hang gliding. As well, Mendoza offers tamer ways to enjoy the outdoors, including horseback riding and windsurfing.
In Mexico, steer clear of the crowds in Cancun and opt for Tulum instead. This low-key beach destination is famed for its breathtaking Mayan ruins. It's less developed than other nearby towns and features scuba diving, snorkeling, wildlife viewing and kayaking.
Savannah, Georgia is steeped in history, with its stately architecture and cobblestone streets. Soak up its charm by browsing its boutiques, strolling through its squares and enjoying local cuisine.
The American Southwest is a great place to de-stress in peace and quiet.
Santa Fe is the perfect getaway for art aficionados and spa lovers. It fuses ancient native culture, Spanish colonial history and a modern vibe. The blending of old and new is apparent in everything from cuisine to architecture.
Sedona, in the middle of Arizona's desert, is believed to have healing powers. The dramatic red rocks provide a stunning atmosphere for a getaway. Guests who want to get back to nature can hike, fish, mountain bike and ride horses. Sedona's spas and resorts help visitors relax and renew.
With the party crowd living it up at beach destinations, you'll have cities and their grown-up charms all to yourself.
Two cities that will enchant you with their foodie scenes and cultural attractions are Vancouver and Bogota, Colombia.
What could be more romantic than Paris in the spring? Indeed, a stay in the City of Lights in April was the top romantic vacation selected by respondents to the most recent Virtuoso Life Travel Dreams Survey.
San Francisco's breathtaking scenery, distinctive neighborhoods and imaginative cuisine provide a romantic backdrop for couples. It's a diverse city where anything is possible.
Your best bets for an adult spring break experience on the water: choose an upscale cruise line where higher fares will deter budget-minded young people. Or go with a specialty line where the focus is on adventure, history or culture, not late-night partying.
For the ultimate way to escape crowds, why not rent your own yacht to sail the Caribbean or Mediterranean? A European villa – consider Italy, France or Spain – provides privacy and luxury. Or even steal away to your own private island?
If you don't do your homework, you could end up in the wrong spring break destination. One way to make the planning and booking process easy is to ask a Virtuoso travel advisor for help. If you're not already working with one, find one here at virtuoso.com.

Q: I want iterate through the for loop to return three points points = array

def get_nearest_point(x, y, n_points):

    dist = []
    val = []
    j = (x, y)
    for z in range(n_points):
        for i in range(len(points)):
            dist += [Distance(points[i][0],points[i][1],x,y)]
            a = dist.index(min(dist))
        val.append(points[a])
        dist.remove(min(dist))
        return val

Output :
get_nearest_point(50, 50,3)
[[54, 57]]
I want return something like [[54,57],[56,78],[78,90]]

A: What you are trying to do is essentially find the indices of the smallest 3 elements in the given array. You can easily do this with numpy.argsort method
Anyways here is your code with numpy :
import numpy as np

def get_nearest_point(x, y, n):

    dist = [Distance(point[0], point[1], x, y) for point in points]
    indices = np.argsort(dist)
    return [points[i] for i in indices[:n]]

A: welcome to the site!
The issue with your code as written is that the return statement is inside the loop- instead, move it outside. That way you append all three values to val before you return it.

A: Here we calculate distance for every point, sort it by distance and get first n points.
def get_nearest_point(x, y, n_points):
    points_with_dist = []  # store here pairs (dist, point)
    for point in points:
        points_with_dist.append((
            Distance(point[0], point[1], x, y),
            point
        ))
    result_with_dist = sorted(points_with_dist, key=lambda struct: struct[0])[:n_points]
    result = [p[1] for p in result_with_dist]  # we need only points
    return result

Young Entrepreneur Prize 2022
1 - 4 名成员
Key Steps
General regulations for the competition
1 - Objective of the competition
The objective of the competition, submitted to students, is to award the best entrepreneurial project in connection with France or Switzerland, whatever the field of specialization: service, product, trademark, etc.
It will therefore be necessary to show a capacity for imagination, creativity and dare to present innovative ideas. The French Foreign Trade Advisers in Switzerland wish to discover and promote these young talents, as well as to share their experience with them.
2 - Organisation of the competition
The general organisation of the competition is co-ordinated by the French Foreign Trade Advisers Committee. Schools selected by the French Foreign Trade Advisers Committee, which are representative of the sectoral and geographic category of Swiss industry, involved in this event are:
Hochschule of Saint Gallen
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) or any other agreed school from Zurich
Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne
Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne
Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) in Lugano
Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI) in Manno
Each school must select a maximum of two or three projects. A grand jury will then choose the award winner who will receive the Young Entrepreneur Prize. The language of correspondence is the Swiss national language, but the projects can be presented in one of the following national languages: French or English.
3 - Registration conditions
The term "student" means a physical person, man or woman. He/she must be a student registered at one of the above-mentioned schools for the year during which the prize will be awarded. The nationality is not important. A certificate from the school should be included in the registration form. Participation in the competition can be on an individual basis or as part of a team. Each team will be represented by a maximum of four people. A participant, whether competing on an individual basis or as part of a team, may only present one single project. Candidates must read the general regulations before signing the registration form, which should be sent to the person in charge of the competition at their school. Submission of a registration form by a candidate implies his/her unconditional acceptance of the clauses and conditions contained in the regulations governing the competition and the decisions of the jury.
4 - Participation of schools and companies
Each school selected by the French Foreign Trade Advisers, and having accepted to take part in the competition, must appoint a coordinator to serve as the contact person for the Advisers at the school. In turn, the French Foreign Trade Advisers will designate one of their members for each of the schools selected to serve as the contact person for the school. In January, February, an information meeting could be held at school by the French Foreign Trade Advisers, which students may attend if they wish. During this session, one of the Advisers will present and explain the competition, with the responsible of the school. Each student will be expected to describe the project and marketing parameters, situate it in its competitive environment, estimate its potential, calculate the investment and justify all the components of the project. The competition organizers have the right to refuse any idea, without having to give a reason for their decision. If a student participating in the competition wishes to be put in touch with a French or Swiss company, the French Foreign Trade Advisers will try, as far as it is possible, and with the help of the school, to introduce them.The school and its teaching staff are free to provide assistance to the students carrying out a project.
5 - Selection of school winner
Each participating school will select, internally, two or three projects to be presented to the Grand jury. This selection will take place at each school.
6 – Grand jury
To choose the winner, the French Foreign Trade Advisers will appoint a grand jury that will include a majority of French Foreign Trade Advisers. The president of this Grand Jury will be the current president of the French Foreign Trade Advisers, with a casting vote in the event of two equal candidates.
7 – Prizes
The Young Entrepreneur Prize will not be attributed systematically. It must be awarded for an exceptional project.
The winner will receive:
- Support for its development during 12 months by one or more C.C.E.F. members with a value around 10'000 CHF
- A reward in cash of 10'000 CHF.
The other projects that will have participated in the grand jury, will receive a lump sum of CHF 100.- per person. The grand jury, the announcement of the winner and the prize giving ceremony will take place the same day, in May and the French Foreign Trade Advisers reserve the right to communicate on this event. A photo and curriculum vitae may be requested from the participants.
The participants undertake to testimony during the presentation of the award of the following year.
8 - Property rights and communications
The awarded projects (participants and/or school winners) remain the full property of their authors. If they are called upon to collaborate with one or several companies they must first undertake formally, at the risk of their projects being declared null and void, to define the ownership of their projects with the company(s) with which they intend to collaborate. After deliberation by the school juries of the schools and the subsequent grand jury, the projects will be returned to their authors.
All candidates in the competition will have to take the necessary measures to protect their projects before the closing date for the submission of their work at the schools. The French Foreign Trade Advisers decline all responsibility in the event of damage resulting from negligence on the part of the candidates regarding the protection of their work.
The French Foreign Trade Advisers are authorized to report on the award-winning projects, as well as on the identity of their authors, by any communication means of their choice, including press articles, brochures and exhibitions at public events of their choice, without any limits in time.
This authorization is valid provided the name of the author (or authors) is mentioned.
The prize winner will be permitted to add the words "Winner 2021" of the Young Entrepreneur Prize on documents relating to the prizes.
9 - Responsibilities of the French External Trade Advisers and the organizers
The French Foreign Trade Advisers reserve the right to shorten, extend, postpone, modify or cancel the competition for any reason whatsoever. They undertake to inform the candidates, but the French Foreign Trade Advisers will in no way be responsible for any consequences such action may have.
Whatever the objections raised, the French Foreign Trade Advisers, the participating schools, the members of the grand juries, and the participating companies will not, under any circumstances, accept responsibility vis-à-vis any physical or moral person.
The interpretation of these regulations comes under the exclusive competence of the French Foreign Trade Advisers.

Q: How to select indices using a combination of loc and iloc I have a time-sorted dataset indexed by dates looking like:
             result
2009-09-08  Positive
2009-08-24  Negative
2009-06-01  Positive
2009-04-23  Positive
2008-12-06  Positive
 ...         ...

I would like to find a date, for example, 2009-08-24 plus the two rows below the date, i.e.
2009-08-24  Negative
2009-06-01  Positive
2009-04-23  Positive

My problem is that finding a specific date requires loc (df.loc['2009-08-24']), but finding that date and two rows below requires numerical position (iloc). In matlab, I would first find the numerical row number 'n' of '2009-08-24' (the second row in this case) and then select rows 'n' to 'n + 2'. But I am not sure if there is an easier way in python. Thansk!

A: df.index.get_loc('2009-08-24') will return the 'numerical row number' for the date you want.

A: How about
df.loc['2009-08-24':].head(2)

USA: he attacks a police station with a chainsaw
A 35-year-old father attacked a police station in Massachusetts (USA) with a gas-powered chainsaw last Sunday. Subdued with a taser, he was taken into custody without bail. The latter was unhappy that the police refused to keep his children,
A stroke of blood that should cost him dearly. A 35-year-old father attacked a police station in Massachusetts (USA) with a gas-powered chainsaw last Sunday, early in the afternoon.
According to the specialist website Low & Crime, the assailant attacked the police station because of a disagreement with the police. The latter asked the police by phone to keep his children for an hour. This request was apparently denied by the peace officers, which drove the father mad.
According to a Cohasset police statement, the 30-year-old "entered the hall with a chainsaw on and began cutting through the security door." Present behind the door, a receptionist was able to barricade himself to call for reinforcements.
Arrested by SWAT with the use of a taser
After his crazy gesture, the 35-year-old man barricaded himself in his house, which is close to the police station. The maniac then insulted the police officers before displaying two children under the age of five in front of the second floor window.
Faced with the suspect's growing agitation, the police officers present to negotiate allow SWAT to intervene by entering the residence. As the target struggled to avoid arrest, officers had to use a taser to incapacitate him.
The 30-year-old was finally jailed after being taken to hospital. Accused of violence with a weapon and endangering children, he pleaded not guilty during the court hearing on Monday. The judge still ordered him held without bond, which also forced him to pass a psychological evaluation, according to the Boston Globe.

Q: Form::Select from database model in Laravel I have a table in a database (Candies) created from an Eloquent Model and I'm trying to generate a dropdown list using Illumnate\html 'form::select' with the values stored in the Candies table from the Candy_Flavor column.
I'm new to Laravel and after a few hours I was able to call the list in a regular unordered list, but I can't figure out how to pass in the values from the DB to the list. Am I missing something?
CandyController.php
class CandyController extends Controller
{
public function candy(candy $candy)
{
    $data = $candy->all();
    return view('pages.candy')->with('candies', $data);
}

}
Candy.blade.php
@extends ('master')
@section ('content')
    {!! Form::open() !!}
    <div class="form-group">
        {!! Form::label('name', 'Choose your flavor:') !!}
        {!! form::select('$candy->$candy_flavor') !!}
    </div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
@stop

A: In your controller use the lists function (assumes you have a 'name' and 'id' field)
$data = $candy->lists('name', 'id');

In your blade file use the following (edit it to suit your db column names)
{!! Form::select('id', $candies, Input::old('id')) !!}

Q: pic16f877a RS232 not working i am trying to make rs232 protocol communcication from my pic to serial port in pc I made sure all myconnections are right by connecting tx and rx of serial port each step I connect them anywhere else so I guess the circuit is ok and here it is:

http://i.imgur.com/0uVxFDC.png
this circuit I did connect in real life and just did It in proteus to demonstrate
I just want the pic to send every byte it receives and I set the baud rate and stop, parity bits the same in both. I made the code in mikroc, here it is:
char uart_rd;

void main() {

  UART1_Init(9600);               // Initialize UART module at 9600 bps
  Delay_ms(100);                  // Wait for UART module to stabilize

  while (1) {                     // Endless loop
    if (UART1_Data_Ready()) {     // If data is received,
      uart_rd = UART1_Read();     // read the received data,
      UART1_Write(uart_rd);       // and send data via UART
    }
  }
}

just this small part. I don't really know where the problem is everything seems right but it is not working I would very much appreciate replies from anyone it would really help me a lot thanks in advance

A: On the schematic P1 appears to be a DE-9 connector with pin 2 wired as an input and pin 3 as an output. A PC is wired the same way. If P1 is a male connector you must use a null modem cable between your circuit and the PC. A null modem cable has female connectors on both ends with signals crossed over internally.  If P1 is a female connector wire pin 2 as the output and pin 3 as the input and use a male to female cable.

Snakes are amazing creatures. They slither, eat their prey whole, hang out in trees, bask in warm light, have fangs, and can go without eating for a very long time! A typical snake can go for around two months without any food before it starts using its own fat reserves as energy.Mar 23, 2022[6]
I've seen the harvest of acropora corals from Indonesia and Bali, they normally leave the corals out on those white picnic tables for hours at a time .

Talk about a conundrum: Sea snakes cannot drink seawater, even though that's where they spend all their time. Scientists curious about how the pelagic sea snake survives have found that the creatures can go up to 6 or 7 months without drinking fresh water, Smithsonian magazine reports.[8]
Of course, a snake that won't eat for a prolonged period could eventually starve to death. So you must figure out why if you notice any symptoms in addition to the anorexia or if your otherwise healthy snake refuses to eat for more than a couple of weeks.[9]
The king cobra's average size is 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.6 meters), but it can reach 18 feet (5.4 meters). King cobras live in northern India, east to southern China, including Hong Kong and Hainan; south throughout the Malay Peninsula and east to western Indonesia and the Philippines.[10]
The largest known king cobra was 5.59 m (18 ft 4 in) long and captured in Thailand. It differs from other cobra species by size and hood. It is larger, has a narrower and longer stripe on the neck. The head of a mature snake can be quite massive and bulky in appearance.[11]
The king cobra may grow to be 18.5 feet long, making it the largest venomous snake in the world. On average, king cobras measures 10 to 12 feet in length. They typically weigh around 13 pounds.Aug 16, 2021[12]

There are two heads available, the 3-4 with lofts from 13° to 16° and the 5-7 with lofts from 17° to 20°.Jul 10, 2014[16]
The standard model offers three lofts (14.5, 18.5 and 22.5 degrees), while the Tour version is offered in two lofts (14 and 17.5 degrees) and the Big Tour comes in one loft (13.5 degrees) with each featuring the +/- 1.5-degree, eight-way adjustable hosel.[17]
Fairway woods have a higher loft than drivers. A 3 wood has a loft between 15 and 18 degrees, and a 5 wood has a loft between 20 and 22 degrees. The higher the golf club number, the higher the loft. Higher lofted woods (7, 9, 11, and so on) are commonly referred to as utility woods.[18]

Orcas are apex predators, which means they're at the very top of the food chain and they have no predators. Killer whales are some of the largest and most powerful animals in the ocean, and no other predator is able to challenge them.[25]
A baby cobra, like all snakes, is called a hatchling.[26]
Breeding usually occurs from January through April. King cobras are oviparous and lay 21 to 40 white, leathery eggs. The female pushes leaves and branches into a nest pile where the eggs are incubated by the elevated temperatures of decomposition.[27]
Newborn king cobras usually are between 18 and 20 inches in length. When king cobras are young, they have black bodies with lighter yellow or whitish markings.[28]
Cobras reproduce by laying eggs. Females typically lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time, which incubate between 60 and 80 days. According to India's SnakeWorld, cobras will stay near the eggs and defend them until they hatch.[29]
A young cobra has enough venom, fully developed fangs and a poison delivery system sufficient enough to kill an adult.[30]

How Long Is King Cobra
Where Is The King Cobra Snake Found?


The hand-held fire extinguisher is simply a pressure vessel from which is expelled a material (or agent) to put out a fire. The agent acts upon the chemistry of the fire by removing one or more of the three elements necessary to maintain fire—commonly referred to as the fire triangle. The three sides of the fire triangle are fuel, heat, and oxygen. The agent acts to remove the heat by cooling the fuel or to produce a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen supply in the surrounding air. Once the fire triangle is broken, the fire goes out. Most agents have a lasting effect upon the fuel to reduce the possibility of rekindling. Generally, the agents applied are water, chemical foam, dry powder, halon, or carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Unfortunately, no one agent is effective in fighting all types (classes) of fires. The type and environment of the combustible material determines the type of extinguisher to be kept nearby.
Water extinguishers of the "gas cartridge" type operate in much the same manner, but the pressure source is a small cartridge of carbon dioxide gas (CO 2 ) at 2,000 psi, rather than air. To operate a gas cartridge unit, the end of the extinguisher is struck against the floor, causing a pointed spike to pierce the cartridge, releasing the gas into the pressure vessel. The released CO 2 expands several hundred times its original volume, filling the gas space above the water. This pressurizes the cylinder and forces the water up through a dip-pipe and out through a hose or nozzle to be directed upon the fire. This design proved to be less prone to leakdown (loss of pressure over time) than simply pressurizing the entire cylinder.
In foam extinguishers, the chemical agent is generally held under stored pressure. In dry powder extinguishers, the chemicals can either be put under stored pressure, or a gas cartridge expeller can be used; the stored-pressure type is more widely used. In carbon dioxide extinguishers, the CO 2 is retained in liquid form under 800 to 900 psi and is "self-expelling," meaning that no other element is needed to force the CO 2 out of the extinguisher. In halon units, the chemical is also retained in liquid form under pressure, but a gas booster (usually nitrogen) is generally added to the vessel.
Water has proven effective in extinguishers used against wood or paper fires (Class A). Water, however, is an electrical conductor. Naturally, for this reason, it is not safe as an agent to fight electrical fires where live circuits are present (Class C). In addition, Class A extinguishers should not to be used in the event of flammable liquid fires (Class B), especially in tanks or vessels. Water can cause an explosion due to flammable liquids floating on the water and continuing to burn. Also, the forceful water stream can further splatter the burning liquid to other combustibles. One disadvantage of water extinguishers is that the water often freezes inside the extinguisher at lower temperatures. For these reasons, foam, dry chemical, CO 2 , and halon types were developed.
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) extinguishers, effective against many flammable liquid and electrical fires (Class B and C), use CO 2 as both the agent and the pressurizing gas. The liquified carbon dioxide, at a pressure that may exceed 800 psi depending on size and use, is expelled through a flared horn. Activating the squeeze-grip handle releases the CO 2 into the air, where it immediately forms a white, fluffy "snow." The snow, along with the gas, substantially reduces the amount of oxygen in a small area around the fire. This suffocates the fire, while the snow clings to the fuel, cooling it below the combustion point. The greatest advantage to the CO 2 extinguisher is the lack of permanent residue. The electrical apparatus that was on fire is then more likely to be able to be repaired. Unlike CO 2 "snow," water, foam, and dry chemicals can ruin otherwise undamaged components.
As extinguishing agents, halons are up to ten times more effective in putting out fires than other chemicals. Most halons are non-toxic and extremely fast and effective. Chemically inert, they are harmless to delicate equipment, including computer circuits, and leave no residue. The advantage of the halon over the CO 2 extinguisher is that it is generally smaller and lighter. Halon is a liquid when under pressure, so it uses a dip-tube along with nitrogen as the pressurizing gas.
The aluminum pressure vessel is made by impact extrusion. In this process, the aluminum block is put into a die and rammed at high velocity with a metal casting tool. The force liquifies the aluminum and causes it to flow into the cavity around the tool, thus forming the open-ended cylinder.
This cylinder is then finished in necking and spinning processes, which form the open end of the cylinder.
manufacture of halon fire extinguishers by January 1, 1994. This will eliminate a potential threat to the earth's protective ozone layer, which halon molecules—highly resistant to decomposition—interact with and destroy.
In a typical gas-cartridge extinguisher, a spike pierces the gas cartridge. The released gas expands quickly to fill the space above the water and pressurize the vessel. The water can then be pumped out of the extinguisher with the necessary force.
the open end with another operation called spinning. Spinning gently rolls the metal together, increasing the wall thickness and reducing the diameter. After spinning, the threads are added.

Sigfrido (título original en alemán, Siegfried) es una ópera en tres actos con música y libreto en alemán de Richard Wagner, la tercera de las cuatro óperas que componen el ciclo de El anillo del nibelungo (Der Ring des Nibelungen). Esta obra se estrenó en el Teatro del Festival de Bayreuth el 16 de agosto de 1876 como parte de la primera representación completa de la saga de El anillo del nibelungo y forma parte del Canon de Bayreuth. Sigfrido sigue siendo una de las óperas más populares; en las estadísticas de Operabase aparece la n.º 50 de las cien óperas más representadas en el período 2005-2010, siendo la 13.ª en Alemania y la quinta de Wagner, después de El holandés errante, El oro del Rin, La valquiria y Tristán e Isolda.

Composición

Libreto
Aunque Sigfrido es la tercera de las óperas del Anillo, fue la segunda en el orden de concepción. Wagner trabajó de delante hacia atrás planeando la ópera a partir de la muerte de Sigfrido, después decidió que necesitaba otra ópera para narrar la juventud de Sigfrido y luego decidió que necesitaba contar la historia de la concepción de Sigfrido y de los intentos de Brunilda de salvar a los padres de él. Finalmente llegó a la conclusión de que precisaba un preludio que contara el robo original del oro del Rin y la creación del anillo. En el invierno de 1850–1851, mientras Wagner trabajaba en Ópera y Drama, acariciaba la idea de escribir una ópera cómica basada en un cuento folclórico bien conocido, Märchen von einem, der auszog das Fürchten zu lernen (El muchacho que decidió aprender a temer), que había encontrado en los cuentos de hadas de los hermanos Grimm. «Imagina mi sorpresa», escribió más adelante a su amigo el violinista Theodor Uhlig, «cuando me di cuenta de repente de que este joven ¡no era otro sino el joven Sigfrido!».

En una semana, en mayo de 1851, había esbozado borradores en prosa para una precuela o «contrapunto cómico» a la Muerte de Sigfrido, que él llamó Jung-Siegfried (Joven Sigfrido), más tarde cambió el nombre por el de Der junge Siegfried (El joven Sigfrido). Un borrador en prosa más extenso lo terminó para el 1 de junio, y el 24 de junio lo había transformado ya en el borrador en verso. Para agosto la copia final de este libreto en verso estaba lista y Wagner había empezado incluso a ponerle música. Estos esfuerzos, sin embargo, nunca fueron más que un puñado de esbozos, que más tarde se usaron en la composición de Sigfrido. Sigfrido es entonces, cronológicamente, el segundo libreto que escribió en 1851 bajo su primera forma. Posteriormente, sintió la necesidad de escribir La valquiria y concebir la obra como una trilogía de óperas que debía ser precedida por un prólogo. Fue en el año 1852 cuando Wagner finalmente se decidió por el nombre de El anillo del nibelungo para el ciclo completo. En noviembre y diciembre de ese año, hizo amplias revisiones de los libretos de Der junge Siegfried y Siegfried's Tod. En parte estaban justificadas para adaptarse a la ampliación del ciclo y al creciente significado de Wotan, el protagonista de las primeras dos partes de la tetralogía, y en parte a que Wagner había leído la filosofía de Ludwig Feuerbach. Los cambios de Der junge Siegfried se introdujeron en la primera copia final (Reinschrift des Textbuches), mientras que las de Siegfried's Tod se introdujeron en la tercera copia «buena» (Viertschrift des Textbuches). Por razones que se desconocen, Wagner no hizo una segunda copia buena de la versión ampliamente revisada de Der junge Siegfried.

El personaje principal, como en el Ocaso de los dioses, es también Sigfrido, encarnación de la juventud heroica. Wotan, por su parte, tendrá un papel central en La valquiria y en El oro del Rin. El título de esta ópera, El ocaso de los dioses, probablemente no se fijó hasta el año 1856. En 1863 los textos de las cuatro óperas del Anillo fueron publicadas por vez primera bajo el título actual.

Música
En cambio, la música del ciclo, tras unos esbozos aislados de determinados temas, fue compuesta siguiendo el orden de la historia. En el verano de 1851, Wagner realizó algunos esbozos para Der junge Siegfried (El joven Sigfrido, es decir, lo que sería luego llamado Sigfrido), y algunos de ellos se recuperaron cuando Wagner empezó en serio la composición de Sigfrido en el año 1856, cuando revisó el libreto de Sigfrido. Si no se tienen en cuenta estos esbozos, empezó a escribir la música de Sigfrido en septiembre de 1856 en Zúrich. Para esta ópera, hizo tres cambios significativos en su modo de trabajar. Primero, escribió, con tinta, un «borrador desarrollado» entre el esbozo preliminar y la partitura final; este borrador intermedio incluía la mayor parte de los detalles orquestales de la partitura final. Wagner esperaba que este método facilitaría la escritura de la partitura total, obviando las dificultades que había encontrado al componer La valquiria.

En segundo lugar, compuso los actos uno a uno, llevando la composición de la música a través de las tres etapas, desde el esbozo preliminar hasta la partitura final (pero no necesariamente para la copia buena o definitiva) para el acto I antes de empezar con la composición del acto II; de esta manera se aseguraba de que pasara el menor tiempo posible entre el esbozo inicial y la orquestación final. En tercer lugar, solía trabajar en los diversos borradores al mismo tiempo, orquestando las primeras escenas de un acto mientras esbozaba las posteriores.

El borrador desarrollado lo empezó el 22 de septiembre, casi inmediatamente después del esbozo preliminar (que no lleva fecha). La partitura completa se empezó el 11 de octubre, de manera que Wagner estaba trabajando en las tres etapas al mismo tiempo.

Pero se detuvo en el curso del segundo acto para dedicarse a la composición de Tristán e Isolda, que había comenzado a esbozar el 19 de diciembre; a partir de esa fecha se produjeron muchas interrupciones en la composición de Sigfrido. A pesar de ello, para el 31 de marzo de 1857 había concluido la partitura completa del acto I. Poco tiempo después empezó a hacer una copia buena, pero abandonó la tarea después de una sola escena.

Casi dos meses pasaron antes de que empezara a trabajar en el acto II; el preludio, Fafners Ruhe («el descanso de Fafner») se esbozó el 20 de mayo de 1857, mientras que el borrador preliminar lo comenzó el 22 de mayo, el día en que el compositor cumplía 44 años. El 18 de junio, inició el borrador desarrollado mientras todavía trabajaba en el borrador preliminar; pero ese mismo mes dejó el trabajo (en el punto en el que Sigfrido descansa bajo el tilo) para concentrarse en Tristán e Isolda. El esbozo preliminar alcanzó este punto el día 26 y el esbozo desarrollado el 27. Parece que Wagner se estaba cansando del Anillo y pensó en dejarlo por un tiempo. Pero el 13 de julio de 1857 emprendió de nuevo el trabajo y acabó el acto II en cuatro semanas: el esbozo preliminar terminado el 30 de julio y el desarrollado el 9 de agosto. La partitura completa del primer acto estaba ahora acabada (en lápiz), y una copia buena se había hecho (a tinta) de la escena inicial; el esbozo desarrollado del segundo acto estaba terminado, pero la partitura completa no la había empezado. En este punto, Wagner dejó de nuevo esta ópera. Pasarían siete años antes de que la retomara, tiempo en el que acabó Tristán y empezó Los maestros cantores de Núremberg.

No retomó Sigfrido hasta 1864 y sobre todo en 1869, para acabarla en 1871. Entre tanto su lenguaje musical se había enriquecido profundamente. Los leitmotive se inscriben en el curso de una armonía compleja que explota el valor expresivo de las disonancias. Cuando Wagner empezó la composición del Anillo en noviembre de 1853, vivía con su primera mujer Minna Planer en el n.º 13 de Zeltweg, Zúrich, donde compuso, entre otras, el primer acto de Sigfrido. Para mayo de 1857, cuando reemprendió el trabajo en Sigfrido, Wagner se había trasladado con Minna a una casita cedida por el rico comerciante de seda Otto Wesendonck. Pero en agosto de 1858 Wagner se vio obligado a dejar Zúrich solo, tras una discusión con Minna por su relación con la esposa de Wesendonck, Mathilde. Desde 1858 hasta 1864 Wagner pasó seis años vagando por Europa, sin reemprender el trabajo con Sigfrido.

En 1864 Wagner se asentó finalmente en Múnich a petición de su nuevo y entusiasta patrón Luis II de Baviera, y fue allí  donde retomó Sigfrido en septiembre; más de siete años habían pasado desde la última vez que había trabajado en esa obra. Reemprendió la tarea haciendo la copia corregida del acto I, acabando la escena segunda; entonces, entre el 22 de diciembre de 1864 y el 2 de diciembre de 1865, escribió toda la partitura del acto II. Pero ese mismo mes se vio obligado a dejar Baviera, habiendo escandalizado a la corte de Luis por vivir una aventura adúltera con la hija casada de Liszt Cosima. El 30 de marzo de 1866, Wagner se trasladó a una villa en Tribschen, a orillas del lago de Lucerna en Suiza; Cosima se unió allí con él dos meses más tarde. Tribschen iba a ser la casa de Richard y Cosima durante los siguientes seis años. Al final se casaron el 25 de agosto de 1870.

Con el exilio de Wagner de Baviera en diciembre de 1865, se produjo otro cese en la composición de Sigfrido. La reanudó a principios de 1869, y el 23 de febrero se concluyeron por fin las copias corregidas de los actos I y II. Una semana más tarde, el 1 de marzo, Wagner empezó a componer el acto III. Trabajando a partir de esbozos que databan de alrededor del año 1864 y posteriores, procedió a hacer un esquema preliminar de todo el acto, como era su práctica habitual. Esta se acabó quince semanas más tarde el 14 de junio. El segundo esbozo completo —el esbozo orquestal— se terminó el 5 de agosto. La partitura completa se empezó el 25 de agosto y se concluyó el 5 de febrero de 1871. Wagner no llegó a hacer una copia corregida del tercer acto de Sigfrido.

A menudo se dice que pasaron doce años desde el segundo y el tercer acto de Sigfrido, pero esto es una exageración. Es cierto que transcurrieron once años y veintinueve semanas entre la conclusión del borrador desarrollado del acto II y el comienzo del borrador preliminar del acto III. Wagner dedicó más de un año de este llamado «parón» a la composición de Sigfrido, completando la copia corregida del acto I, escribiendo tanto la partitura completa como la copia corregida del acto II y haciendo bosquejos para el acto III.

Personajes

Argumento

Acto I

Mime, hermano de Alberich, se encuentra forjando una espada dentro de su cueva en el bosque. El enano nibelungo planea recuperar el anillo Andvarinaut para sí mismo, habiendo criado a Sigfrido para que pueda acabar con el dragón Fafner, que guarda el anillo y otros tesoros, y cumplir su deseo. Mime necesita forjar una espada para Sigfrido, pero el joven ha destruido todas las armas que se le han otorgado. Sigfrido regresa de su caminata por el bosque con un oso salvaje que ha cazado y exige su nueva espada, que rompe inmediatamente. Después del enfado de Sigfrido y un discurso cuidadosamente estudiado de Mime sobre la ingratitud de Sigfrido hacia él, Sigfrido empieza a entender por qué sigue volviendo donde Mime aunque lo desprecia: quiere saber lo que pasó a sus padres. Mime se ve obligado a explicarle que él tuvo que cuidar de Siglinda (Sieglinde) mientras daba a luz pero al final ella murió. Mime muestra los restos de la espada Nothung, que él había recibido de ella. Sigfrido le ordena que la repare, lo que no puede hacer porque el metal no se someterá a sus mejores técnicas.

Sigfrido sale de la cueva y Mime entra en un estado de desesperación, ya que las habilidades del enano no son lo suficientemente buenas como para reparar la legendaria espada. Un anciano viajero (que realmente es Wotan disfrazado) aparece repentinamente y se presenta como el Caminante. A cambio de la hospitalidad debida a un invitado, le ofrece un concurso de acertijos en el cual cada uno presentará tres y aquel que pierda dicha prueba perderá su vida. Mime acepta el reto, con el propósito de deshacerse del invitado no deseado. El enano pregunta el nombre de las razas que viven bajo la tierra, sobre ella y en el firmamento. Wotan responde, correctamente, que son los nibelungos, los gigantes y los dioses. Mime le dice al viajero que siga su camino, pero se ve obligado a jugarse su propia cabeza en tres acertijos más por haber incumplido las leyes de la hospitalidad. El anciano le hace tres preguntas: ¿Cuál es la raza más amada por Wotan pero la peor tratada? ¿Cómo se llama la espada que puede derrotar a Fafner? ¿Quién puede forjar tal espada? Mime contesta a las dos primeras cuestiones: que la raza es la de los welsungos (Wälsungen) y la espada es Nothung. Sin embargo, Mime no sabe responder a la última pregunta, pero Wotan le perdona la vida y le revela que «sólo aquel que no conoce el miedo» podrá reparar la espada, y agrega que dicha persona tomará la vida de Mime.

Sigfrido regresa y se molesta porque Mime no ha hecho progresos. Mime deduce que lo único que nunca enseñó a Sigfrido fue el miedo y que a menos que pueda instilarle temor, Sigfrido lo matará de acuerdo con la predicción del viajero. Le dice a Sigfrido que el miedo es una habilidad esencial; Sigfrido se muestra ansioso por conocer dicha emoción y por ello el enano le promete llevarlo ante Fafner, el dragón. Como Mime no puede volver a forjar Nothung, Sigfrido decide intentarlo por cuenta propia y tiene éxito al trocear el metal, fundirlo y forjarlo de nuevo. Mientras tanto, Mime prepara un veneno que usará para matar a Sigfrido en cuanto el joven haya derrotado al dragón. Después de que él acaba de forjar la espada, Sigfrido demuestra su fortaleza rompiendo con ella el yunque por la mitad.

Acto II
El Caminante (Wotan) aparece ante la entrada a la cueva de Fafner, donde Alberich también se ha sentado a esperar al dragón. Los viejos enemigos se reconocen mutuamente y Alberich declara sus planes de dominar el mundo una vez que el anillo le sea devuelto. Wotan afirma que su intención no es recuperar el anillo, sólo observar. Incluso se ofrece a despertar a Fafner de manera que Alberich pueda tratar con él. Sorpresivamente Wotan despierta a Fafner. Alberich advierte al dragón que un héroe se aproxima y este luchará contra él, y se ofrece a impedir la pelea a cambio del anillo. Fafner no le da mucha importancia, se rehúsa a entregar el anillo a Alberich y termina durmiéndose nuevamente. Wotan y Alberich se retiran.

Sigfrido y Mime llegan a la cueva al amanecer. Mime decide mantenerse a distancia mientras Sigfrido se acerca a la entrada de la cueva. Mientras el guerrero espera que el dragón aparezca, ve un ave reposando sobre un árbol. Sigfrido juguetea con el animal e intenta reproducir su canto utilizando una flauta, pero no lo consigue. Luego el héroe toca una balada con su trompa, lo cual acaba de despertar a Fafner. Después de una breve conversación, Sigfrido y Fafner luchan entre sí y Sigfrido ensarta a Fafner justo en el corazón con la legendaria Nothung.

En el último momento de su vida, Fafner descubre el nombre de Sigfrido y le advierte de una traición. Cuando Sigfrido se prepara a retirar su espada del cuerpo del dragón, se quema con la sangre y por instinto se tapa la boca con la mano. Al probar la sangre de su contrincante, descubre que puede entender lo que el ave está cantando. Sigfrido sigue las instrucciones del pájaro del bosque y así adquiere el anillo y el Tarnhelm de entre el tesoro de Fafner. Fuera de la cueva, Alberich y Mime se pelean en voz alta por el tesoro. Alberich se esconde cuando Sigfrido sale de la cueva. Mime saluda a Sigfrido; éste se queja que aún no sabe qué es el miedo. Mime no deja de aprovechar la oportunidad y ofrece al héroe una bebida envenenada. Sin embargo, la sangre del dragón permite que Sigfrido lea los pensamientos del nibelungo y, por lo tanto, el guerrero acaba con la vida de Mime.

Alberich, observando desde fuera la escena, se ríe en voz alta de manera sádica. Sigfrido entonces arroja el cuerpo de Mime a la caverna del tesoro y coloca el cuerpo de Fafner a la entrada de la caverna para bloquearla también.

El ave canta sobre una mujer que yace sobre una roca, rodeada por una llama mágica. Sigfrido decide buscar a la mujer para ver si ella le puede enseñar algo sobre el miedo.

Acto III

El Caminante se encuentra en el sendero que va hacia la roca sobre la cual yace Brunilda. Wotan llama a Erda, diosa de la tierra. Erda aparece, un tanto confundida, y es incapaz de dar un consejo. Wotan le informa que ya no teme el fin de los dioses; de hecho, es su deseo. El legado de Wotan quedará en Sigfrido el welsungo, y su hija (de Erda y Wotan), Brunilda, «juntos para mejorar el mundo». Erda se retira a la tierra.

Sigfrido llega a donde se halla Wotan (quien aún está disfrazado como un viajero) y el dios interroga al joven. Sigfrido no reconoce a su abuelo (Wotan es el padre de los padres de Sigfrido, Sigmundo y Siglinda), sus respuestas son un tanto insolentes y empieza a caminar hacia la roca de Brunilda. El viajero le bloquea el paso, pero Sigfrido destruye la lanza de Wotan con un golpe de Nothung. Wotan recoge tranquilamente los trozos de su lanza y desaparece.

Sigfrido atraviesa el aro de fuego y se postra ante Brunilda. Inicialmente cree que la figura corresponde a un hombre, pero una vez le quita la armadura, descubre que es una mujer. A la vista de la primera mujer que contempla, Sigfrido experimenta por fin el temor. Desesperado, acaba besando a Brunilda, lo cual la despierta de su sueño mágico. Dudando al principio, el amor por Sigfrido acaba de apoderarse de la valquiria, quien renuncia a todo lo relacionado al mundo de los dioses. Juntos, Sigfrido y Brunilda proclaman que portarán el amor y se reirán de la muerte.

Extractos destacados
Como ocurre con el resto del Anillo, unos pocos extractos se escuchan fuera del teatro de ópera. El pasaje más oído de Sigfrido es los murmullos del bosque.

Otros extractos famosos son:
 Preludio al acto I
 Canción de forja de Sigfrido (Nothung! Nothung! Neidliches Schwert!) (acto I)
 Los murmullos del bosque (acto II)
 Preludio al acto III
 Sigfrido atraviesa el fuego mágico
 Despertar de Brunilda (Heil dir, Sonne!) (acto III)
 Citas del idilio de Sigfrido (acto III)

Mitología
Esta parte de la ópera está inspirada principalmente por la historia del héroe legendario Sigurd de la mitología nórdica y germánica, que mató al dragón Fafner y amó a la valquiria Brunilda. Víctima de la maldición del anillo de Fafner, muere a causa de Brunilda. «Siegfrid» es el nombre germanizado de Sigurdr el Volsungr, y el enano Mime es de hecho el equivalente germánico de Reginn.

Análisis
Sigfrido ocupa el centro de las tres jornadas del Anillo, sin incluir el prólogo. Es aquí donde la historia bascula y la relación de fuerzas se invierte. Mientras que la lanza de Wotan destruyó a la espada de Sigmundo en La valquiria, en esta ópera el más grande de los dioses ha perdido la voluntad que le había permitido conquistar el saber y el poder. Ya no es más que un «viajero» que recorre el mundo en lugar de gobernarlo. Su reencuentro con Sigfrido, en medio del tercer acto, le presenta bajo una luz patética: se deja irritar como un niño por la arrogancia de Sigfrido hasta el punto de intentar cerrarle el paso. Intento condenado al fracaso que marca su última aparición en la escena del Anillo. Todo lo más, se le verá desde lejos entre las llamas que consumirán el Walhalla al final de El ocaso de los dioses.

Sigfrido, por su parte, encarna la vitalidad triunfante de la humanidad naciente. Mientras que toda la pericia técnica de Mime fracasa, Sigfrido forja la espada siguiendo su simple intuición. Frente a la ciencia de Erda, consejera de Wotan que causó la pérdida de Sigmundo, él permanece ignorante de los obstáculos cuyo sentido profundo ya no comprende.

Sigfrido es un héroe pero es profundamente humano. En principio parece sociable. No repite las obsesiones de Mime o de Wotan. Lo que busca en primer lugar, lo repite constantemente, es un compañero, el que sea: primero un oso, luego un pájaro. Es cuando sale del bosque, cuando abandona la naturaleza a la que es próximo, cuando se convierte en auténticamente un hombre: con Brunilda descubre a la vez el miedo y el amor. En un instante, la toma por su madre. No le hace falta más que amistad, que descubrirá con Gunther en el Ocaso.

Brunilda, por su parte, abandona el mundo de los dioses para unirse al de los humanos. Al ayudar a Sigmundo, «cumplió» los deseos secretos de Wotan. Participa en el fin de los dioses que anuncia el fin de la ópera. Tan lúcida como Wotan, toma una decisión diferente: en lugar de retirarse del mundo como él, decide aceptar, con el dolor y la exaltación, el cambio de condición. Ya no es divina, sino humana, ella asume una condición tan baja y una dignidad tan alta como la de Sigfrido.

Sigfrido comparte sobre todo los personajes masculinos, marcadamente diferentes: al heroísmo ingenuo del héroe se opone el conocimiento maléfico de Mime o la lucidez trágica de Wotan. Esta diversidad se encuentra en la tonalidad de las escenas. Sigfrido aborda todos los géneros: la conversación, el combate heroico entre Sigfrido y el dragón, escena bufa en el curso de la cual Mime explica a Sigfrido con la mayor bondad cómo va a asesinarlo, y la gran escena de amor entre Sigfrido y Brunilda.

1937 – Furniss, Joseph
Source: Derbyshire Times
Derbyshire Times 29th January 1937
Joseph Furniss (28), 57, Speedwell Terrace, Staveley, leaves a widow, but no family. He was a native of Sheffield, and his parents live at Markham Road, Duckmanton. He used to play for Markham Sports F.C. and had turned out for them this season. Previously he played for Speedwell Old Boys F.C. He had been married two years and had worked at Markham Colliery for nine years.
Working on nights for 12 months he only went on day duty a fortnight before the accident.
A service in Zion Methodist Church, Staveley was conducted by the Rev W. A. R. Collins, who later officiated at the graveside in Staveley cemetery.
Joseph was commemorated on the 21st July 2017. The location of the artwork dedicated to Joseph can been seen here. Zone 1.

Recently in the-vu we reviewed the Zumaround Zum electric scooter and consequently we recently received a press release for a new German design, still in it's capital crowdsourcing stage.
The prototype Skujou Cruise looks great and the specs are excellent, so we introduce it here, although you cannot buy one just yet.
Like myself, the founder Tarek Garir was a scooter lover as a child and that appreciation stayed with him as an adult, and fueled his passion for this venture. At time of writing, just one prototype exists but Tarek says that in the "mid-term" they plan to export to the EU and to the USA.
Legally, in Europe, the Skujou will be classified as a moped/electric non-pedalec bike and can only be ridden on the street. Production will be in Germany, not China, and if the Kickstarter funding is successful an initial run of 25 to 35 units is planned.
They are making efforts to market the image. Using the prototype they are demonstrating what I already know, an electric stand-up scooter makes so much more sense than an e-Bike. There is no need for seat, pedals, chain, gears, derailleurs and all that complicated and uncomfortable bicycle nonsense. Once you have a motor you can throw all those ideas in the garbage.
The Zum is an existing kick scooter (a Sidewalker Willy) with a hub motor kit added, whereas the the Skujou is designed as an electric.
The Skujou has a larger front wheel, 26" as opposed to 20".
Both top out at approximately 19 MPH. There will always be a slight variance from scooter to scooter, with some going a bit faster than others. My Zum seems to go just over 21 MPH.
The Zum can usually go considerably further than the promised 20 mile range when ridden at well below maximum speed. The Skujou promises 13 miles, but that is usually far enough.
The Zum's 250 watt 36 volt motor is in the front hub, for simplicity, the Skujou's 350 watt 36 volt motor is in it's rear hub. 350 watts will be better on hills!
The Skujou has a kinetic energy recovery system, whereas the Zum relies instead on it's long frictionless glides to extend it's range.
The Zum weighs 36 lbs and the Skujou weighs 33 lbs.
The Skujou's brakes are hydraulic. The Zum's brakes are just mechanical bicycle brakes but they seem to stop it very efficiently anyway.
The Skujou has more smart features, specifically a smartphone app which provides ride data via your smartphone and a smart lock system controlled via the phone. The Zum has none of that.
At time of writing the Zumaround Zum is available in the USA for $1250 USD including shipping.
The estimated pricing for the Skujou, if it makes it, will be €1899 ($2091 USD), but early Kickstart investors are promised one for €1299 ($1430 USD). Shipping to the USA would be extra and there could be considerable taxes and duties.
The Skujou appears to be a very high-quality and well designed electric vehicle. I hope it will be a success in this very difficult market segment.
For more electric stand-up scooter news, follow this forum at Let's Kick Scoot.
Writer Jeffrey the Barak is half-man, half-scooter.
I had a Honda Step Through 90CC "scooter" numerous years ago and I believe it had 16″ wheels. (You can see them on a Google image search – mine was red.) An image search for "motor scooters" shows more recent styles (like you see all over Paris).
Soooooooo, I'm thinking that perhaps a smaller battery operated scooter vehicle might be more appropriate for sidewalk use. If I gotta ride in the road with a battery operated scooter, I guess I'd opt for a much heavier vehicle that could keep up with traffic and not run out of juice.
The Kleefer and the Oxelo batter operated scooters seem more reasonable for city travel (on good pavement). The Oxelo probably has some shock absorption ability like its kick scooter brothers (the Kleefer probably does not).
Your thoughts on the the size of the vehicles you're reporting on with respect to city sidewalks or roadways?
These scooters are too fast and too big for public sidewalks unless you cruise very slowly at the pace of a fast walk, which of course is quite possible to do. They might hurt an unpredictable pedestrian if ridden at running speed or faster. They are great on bike paths, but in many countries they are not officially allowed on bike paths and so have to go on the road with the motor vehicles.
In my opinion, once you get up to 10 MPH and beyond, small urethane wheels are too dangerous. Larger rubber tires are absolutely necessary for safety and control.

The next generation of vending machines
Technology, cashless payment options appeal to millennials
The Pepsi Interactive Vending machine prototype, powered by Microsoft Kinect, responds to movement and essentially turns the vending consumer into an avatar whereby he or she can purchase a product, gift a product, or play a game to win a product all without touching the machine, the company says.

KEYWORDS NAMA / Pepsi / vending machines
Imagine having the ability to pick up a beverage and examine it without ever touching it. Thanks to next-generation vending machines, this idea of virtual selection
At the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) OneShow 2013, which took place April 24-26 in Las Vegas, Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo showcased its Pepsi Interactive Vending machine prototype, powered by Microsoft Kinect, which currently is being tested in several malls throughout the United States. The machine responds to movement and essentially turns the vending consumer into an avatar whereby he or she can purchase a product, gift a product, or play a game to win a product all without touching the machine, the company explains. Product nutritional information and videos also are available for on-demand viewing, and users can charge their mobile devices at the machine via specially designed AC power outlets or USB ports while enjoying a beverage, it adds.is becoming a reality.
Additionally, Fresh Healthy Vending will launch new technology that turns the entire front of a vending machine into an LCD screen, says Ryan O'Keefe, vice president of franchise operations for the San Diego-based company.
"Consumers can touch the screen, choose products, rotate the product image, check nutritional content, and, most importantly, our new machines will offer education on healthy recipes, nutrition tips, and facts on obesity and diabetes," he explains.
Jennifer D. Elizondo, marketing communications analyst for Sanden Vendo America Inc., Dallas, adds that touchscreens became more popular after nutrition labeling requirements for the industry were announced.
"Several years ago, touchscreens were viewed as an expensive feature only suitable for certain locations," she says. "After the nutrition labeling requirements were announced, touchscreen tech-nologies became more applicable to the entire vending industry. The screens give operators the freedom to switch out products and update that information via the Internet, saving on menu board print costs, labor hours, etc." Touchscreens also enable vending operators to display the calorie counts for the products inside the vending machine.
Taking vending technology a step further, Chuck Reed, marketing director with Malvern, Pa.-based MEI, notes that Intel Corp., Santa Clara, Calif., has introduced technology that can generally identify the gender and demographic of a consumer by utilizing a camera at the front of a vending machine.
"[This] means that they can tailor the advertisement that pops up in that machine to be radically different from one consumer to another," he explains. "That has far-reaching implications in terms of revenue streams for the vending operator [and] advertisement capabilities for the brand goods company." This technology also can allow consumer packaged goods manufacturers to better determine and learn about the consumer who is purchasing their products, he adds.
New technologies introduced at the NAMA OneShow this year also included vending machine loyalty programs, MEI's Reed says. For instance, Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Co. has offered its My Coke Rewards program for a number of years, and a vending machine loyalty program would be another way for consumers to claim those rewards, he explains.
"In addition, other companies are talking about less product-specific programs and more machine-specific loyalty programs," Reed says. "So, for example, if I use a credit card or my mobile phone to make a payment, the machine can recognize that this is maybe the 10th time I've been at this machine and can prompt me to get a free drink or snack based on the fact that it notices that I've been there the last 10 times, buying different products, but I've been there 10 times, so the vending operator can consider a rewards program for my loyalty."
These various new vending technologies help to evolve the channel from static, mechanical devices toward more interactive devices, he says. This evolution is an attempt to entice Generation Y, or millennials, who are used to using self-checkout lanes at retail as well as other interactive and automated devices, he adds.
NAMA research also has found that millennials are helping to further innovation in the vending channel.
"While everyone is a vending machine customer, our research found that Generation Y, who has grown up with technology that allows them to define their own experiences, is driving much of the innovation in the industry," says Roni Moore, vice president of marketing and communications for NAMA.
Sanden Vendo America's Elizondo agrees, adding that younger generations are not intimidated by technology. "They enjoy being able to interact with the machine itself and their peers via the social media features available on some of the latest machines."
Cash or credit?
Convenience also plays an important role when it comes to the vending channel, experts say. Millennials, in particular, like the convenience of vending machines and appreciate the ability to be able to pay with a credit or debit card, says Rinaldo Spinella, executive vice president and general manager of unattended payments for Apriva, Atlanta.
"We'll see cashless vending adoption continue to grow, and it is in some respect a direct reflection of the business opportunities in the Generation X and Generation Y crowd," he says.
NAMA's Moore also notes that cashless options are one of the most significant growth drivers in the vending industry. In fact, Apriva's Spinella points out that two years ago cashless vending transactions accounted for 5 percent of all vending sales where both cash and cashless systems existed. Today, that number has increased to 30 percent, he says.
Cashless devices also offer the opportunity for higher sales transactions, Spinella says.
"Many more vending machines are now manufactured with the capability to support cashless vending, which reflects the growing trend that consumers are exhibiting to pay by card," he explains. "One of the byproducts of the cashless evolution is the potential for bottlers to sell larger — and more profitable — beverages through vending machines. Since customers are not limited to the amount of cash in their pockets, it is very conceivable that they are willing to spend more money to buy a specialty beverage at the vending machine."
As demand for cashless options continues to grow, the market also will see some changes, Spinella says. First, some cashless vending options will upgrade from 2G to 3G networks, he says. The second technology paradigm is occurring in card fraud and security, he adds.
"The major card brands are about to introduce a security technology called EMV [(Europay, MasterCard and Visa)], which requires card issuers to embed a coded chip into each credit card," he explains. "These chips greatly reduce the potential for card fraud but require every merchant to install EMV-capable readers into every credit card terminal — including those in vending machines."
EMV is a higher level of security that has been used for years in Europe as well as in the Asia Pacific region, MEI's Reed says. "It really leaves only the U.S. as the last large market where it's not being used, and that's why it's being introduced in the next two years," he adds.
Intelligent telemetry
Vending operators also are considering telemetry to improve their machines' sustainability and operations, says Angela Olson, marketing manager for Seaga, Freeport, Ill.
"A trend toward more sustainability has driven vending operators to seek tools to improve their footprint, such as telemetry offerings that assist with vehicle routing, LED lighting for more energy efficiency, and greener product packaging," she says.
"The wide upswing in new equipment with on-board telemetry and cashless vending provides a benefit to the consumer via convenience as well as providing operator efficiency and brand loyalty by tracking sales with richer data, providing awareness in consumer trends and peak sales times that the operator can use to increase product availability and sales volume," she continues.
Fresh Healthy Vending's O'Keefe also notes that its vending machines offer operators remote monitoring technology that enables them to know when to visit a machine and what items to take with them in order to stock the machines. "Our reporting system produces over 30 different reports, helping our operators maximize profits and efficiency," he says.
Sanden Vendo America's Elizondo adds that remote monitoring enables operators to keep machines from running out of stock, which keeps the end-consumers happy and coming back on a regular basis.
Later this year, MEI plans to introduce a new telemeter that acts as a communications platform, Reed says. In addition to processing credit cards, it assists in remote monitoring to keep the machine up and running efficiently, he adds.
Despite years of declining sales in the vending channel, Rockville, Md.-based Packaged Facts forecasts 1.5 percent market growth in 2015. The prediction comes as a result of technological advances made in vending machines, including higher food and beverage quality, increased consumer interaction, increased cashless payment acceptance, and more aggressive competition with the foodservice channel, it says.
"Technological innovation holds the keys to future growth," the market research firm states. "Social and interactive vending, touchscreens, and wireless supply-side networking are a big part of the equation, offering a tremendous upside for consumer engagement."
A vending alternative
One of the most significant innovations in the industry is the boom in micro-markets, or unattended retail, says Roni Moore, vice president of marketing and communications for the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA).
"The explosion in this arena means that consumers in 'closed-loop' environments, including hospitals, corporate settings and universities, will have the ability to purchase a much more broad selection of food and beverages, particularly those products that are part of the 'better-for-you' category," she says.
Micro-markets leverage state-of-the-art checkout technology that essentially creates an unattended convenience store with hundreds of products available for purchase, explains Joseph Hessling, chief executive officer of 365 Retail Markets, Troy, Mich. He adds that micro-markets allow as much as a 50 percent increase in product variety compared with vending machines and attract consumers who did not utilize pre-existing vending options.
"Micro-markets offer expan-ded product variety, better shopping experiences and unlimited payment options all in a drastically improved shopping environment," he says. "This entices end-users to buy more, including higher-profit items, than in the past, increasing the operator profits over vending in existing locations and often extending the contracts at the same time."
