Are US Cities Ready For Bike-Sharing?
By Adam Doster
In These Times (January 08 2008)
While working the graveyard shift in a University of Virginia computer lab 13 years ago, Paul DeMaio had dreams of the open road. On a whim, the avid cyclist and environmentalist entered "public bikes" into a search engine and discovered images of Bycyklen, Copenhagen's then-new bike-sharing service. One glimpse and DeMaio was hooked. "The idea just blew me away", he says. "This was it".
DeMaio arranged to study in Denmark, where he absorbed as much about bike-sharing culture as possible. Convinced that the idea would appeal to Americans, he created MetroBike LLC, a bicycle planning and bike-sharing consulting company based in Washington DC. And now, more and more cyclists and legislators are turning their attention to DeMaio's cause. "We've come a long way", he says. "Bike-sharing really has gotten a lot of attention".
Essentially, bike-sharing programs provide cheap access to bicycles, mostly for inner-city transportation. In the late 1960s, some Europeans placed donated bikes across cities like Amsterdam and Milan for residents to ride free of charge, hoping to provide citizens with an ecologically friendly mode of travel. But vandalism and theft sank nearly all of the early campaigns. Today, technology - such as electronic payment, tracking and locking systems - has helped reduce crime and revive bike-sharing efforts worldwide.
The Velib in Paris, a new venture owned and operated by the city but co-financed by the JCDecaux advertising corporation in exchange for exclusive rights to on-street advertising, has quickly become the most comprehensive and successful bike-sharing program in the world.
Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe launched the Velib in July by placing 10,000 bicycles at 750 stations throughout the city. For a small credit card fee (29 euros a year, or about $43), Parisians can swipe the card at any bike rack, grab an available two-wheeler, ride it across town and leave it for others at their new destination.
Bike rental is free for the first thirty minutes, which accounts for eighty percent of all rides, and only a marginal cost for each additional half-hour. Officials intend to double the fleet by 2008 as more than six million rides were recorded in the first three months, with every bike being rented an average of ten times a day, according to a report in BusinessWeek.
While the Velib is the largest program to date, Paris is not alone in its cycling enthusiasm. Various cities across the globe have implemented successful bike-sharing systems in recent years, including Barcelona, Stockholm and Berlin. Beijing, known as the Kingdom of Bicycles, recently unveiled plans to unleash 50,000 bikes in time for the 2008 Olympics.
Bike-sharing fever has even spread to the United States, a country lacking a robust bike culture but one where car-sharing has thrived and biking is becoming more mainstream. In San Francisco, the city Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a contract with Clear Channel Outdoor Inc that would establish a bike-sharing program in return for advertising rights on transit shelters. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley visited Paris in September to test the Velib in action and is considering a similar program for the Windy City. New York City, Portland and Washington, DC officials have also expressed interest.
Margo O'Hara, communications director for the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, points out that reducing dependency on the automobile - and the carbon emissions, pollution, and traffic it creates - is the most obvious attribute of bike-sharing, but a well-designed system has other virtues.
"The cool thing about bicycling", she says, "is that it's public. You're able to talk to people on your commute to work, as opposed to being in this confined vacuum of a car". Bike-sharing also provides a cheap, sustainable appendage to under-funded and overcrowded mass transit systems. "Bike-sharing is not going to replace bus or rail transit", says DeMaio, "but it's really complimentary ... because it does extend these other modes of transit's reach".
Bike-sharing certainly isn't perfect. Safety is a concern, especially in cities lacking bike-friendly infrastructure. Helmets are generally not provided with a rental, and theft, while complicated by user electronic identification, still poses a financial risk.
There's also the possibility that people who could benefit from such services - namely, low-income people who need reliable transportation but have problems affording it - will not be served, especially in cities like Chicago and Washington, DC that are highly segregated, both economically and racially. DeMaio stresses that, for the programs to be most effective, local legislators must distribute bike-sharing resources equitably. "It's up to the government to ensure that the stations are placed in underserved neighborhoods", he says, "to ensure that people of all backgrounds ... have access to this mode of transit".
But those are small concerns for an overwhelmingly popular movement. "I think the demand is there", says O'Hara. "And you can see in Chicago: The more acceptable it is to bike, the more people bike".

"vandalism and theft sank nearly all of the early campaigns. Today, technology - such as electronic payment, tracking and locking systems - has helped reduce crime and revive bike-sharing efforts worldwide."
Yes but Today, vandalism and sabotage are worse.
It's the big danger for Paris Velib
"Bike-sharing is not going to replace bus or rail transit", says DeMaio, "but it's really complimentary."
Right : that gives a significant plus to public transport
" The cool thing about bicycling is that it's public. You're able to talk to people on your commute to work, as opposed to being in this confined vacuum of a car "
Yes but , too bad , the mayor , here in Paris , did'nt want an official forum ; so have a look to unofficial ones for example forum-velib

A Story of Muhammad: A Window into Islam
Previous|Next
By Susan Lawrence
September 11 cannot pass without notice. Perhaps it never will. Even though our personal memories may lose sharpness, each year the story of U.S. vulnerability to terrorist attack returns like a haunt in our media and sometimes inside of us. If we care about justice and love, we may hear a call at this time of year to speak out against stereotyping of Muslims and the injustice and hate crimes it continues to engender.
The stereotyping persists because of ignorance. Despite a growing number of Muslim Americans and the increasing visibility of Muslim holidays, practices, and intra-faith diversity—compelling reasons for non-Muslims to educate themselves—mystery still surrounds Islam and suspicion hovers over its followers. Fortunately, as UU religious educators, we are not only inclined but also well positioned to fight ignorance with education. Many UUs have been at this for a while. Our congregations and Association support youth-led interfaith service work and the exploration of world religions in our RE programs. We form partner relationships with non-UU faith communities. At home, many of us strive to bring our children stories from the world's diverse cultures and faiths.
Now, from Skinner House Books, comes Muhammad: The Story of a Prophet and Reformer, a learning tool for all ages. Sarah Conover unfolds the story of Muhammad's journey to prophetic leadership in a way that invites readers or listeners, from grade-school age through adult, into the heart and history of Islam. The narrative evokes the geography, sensual experience, relationships, and daily routines of the Arab lands, circa 600 CE. In an enthusiastic Foreword, interfaith activist and Beacon Press author Eboo Patel, founder of Interfaith Youth Core, praises the book as engaging and affirms its utility for "bridging the faith divide." After the Epilogue, Conover provides clear, useful information about Islam's birth, development, core beliefs, and sacred text (the Quran). She writes:
Everything Muhammad revealed to others reinforced faith in a single God—the same God worshipped by the other Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Christianity. Although today most people employ the words 'Islam' and 'Muslim' to mean a specific religion and a person who follows it, in the Quran islam means not so much a system of beliefs but a private act of faith.
Join me in a UU act of faith this September 11: Purchase Muhammad for your family or congregation, and find a time and place to share it with others!
Next Steps!
Muhammad: The Story of a Prophet and Reformer is available from the UUA Bookstore. The UUA's three-part, multigenerational study guide for Muhammad: The Story of a Prophet and Reformer is available online, at no charge.
Watch a video clip of Eboo Patel describing the Skinner House book as a particularly "accessible" biography of Muhammad to share with his own young Muslim American sons.

Vanessa Fraser Leaves The Bowerman Track Club, What's Next?
" In fact, maybe the only way to get to where you want is to detour from that path that you had in mind originally, or that, you know, is the traditional path of doing things and, and trusting that those people in your support network will actually…Be excited about it"
Vanessa Fraser joins the More Than Running Podcast to discuss some big changes in her life. We recorded this in my living room in San Francisco, which will play a big role in her career moving forward.
For those who may not be as familiar, Vanessa joined the Nike Bowerman Track Club after graduating from Stanford in 2018 as a seven-time All-American. As a member of the Bowerman Track Club, Fraser set personal bests of 4:09.74 for 1500m, 4:37.33 for the mile, 8:53.11 for 3,000m (indoors), 14:48.51 for 5000m (indoors) and 31:52.11 for 10,000 meters.
She has decided to relocate to San Francisco for a new job but will still run under contract with Nike and be coached by Shalane Flanagan, who is an assistant coach with the Bowerman Track Club and just joined the University of Oregon track & field and cross country program as an assistant coach under Jerry Schumacher.
We touch on her career, her interests and so much more in this conversation:
Fraser explains why she has decided to leave the Bowerman Track Club and move to San Francisco. (49-minute mark):
"This decision was probably the hardest decision I've made in my life to this point. It was also the most unexpected decision. In school, you have such a definitive timeline of when you're going to move on to the next chapter – when you graduate or when you move up to the next year. In the real world, there's no timeline. There's no structure, and you have to define that for yourself. I've also learned that nothing always goes to plan. My plan in my head was at least really sight set on the 2024 Olympic Trials and staying grounded in where I was at and committing to the process I've already sought out to get there. I believed in it. I ran 14:48 and that always gave me that hope that this works for me. 'I have it in me. I'm going to stay the course. I'm going to find a way to get back to that level or even better for the 2024 Trials. I had this very specific point in mind for that. And then I'll figure it out after that.' Typically, what we do as athletes is we decide that we're going to go for another cycle.
So this opportunity came to me truly out of the blue and unsolicited. I wasn't thinking of changing things up as I said because I had this 2024 timeline in my head. I get recruited on LinkedIn for a job at a venture capital firm, which has been a space that has always interested me. Specifically, going back to decision-making: I wrote a thesis in my undergraduate on the decision-making processes in venture capital firms because they're making these huge decisions and investing in early-stage entrepreneurs and start-ups off very little information. How can you predict what the next Uber or Facebook is going to be when it's just the seed of an idea of people on the team? It's a huge risk and there's no way of knowing if it's going to pan out. 90% of venture companies fail. That's what makes it exciting because when you do get that one special unicorn, as they call them, that takes off. Obviously, that's really exciting. It's that fascination of: How do these people pick these entrepreneurs and how do they know that it has the potential to be big? They're putting millions of dollars into these things! It's just a fascination in general and broadly with how that process works. So I get this message on LinkedIn and it's literally hitting home on something that's fascinated me for a long time. It's not just some random thing.
I sat on it for a couple of weeks. I didn't even think that I was going to respond because 2024 was my everything and my focus right now and I can't be swayed. Something in me had that spark of curiosity and I felt that. So I thought that it can't hurt to take the phone call. I take the phone call and I feel a bigger spark of curiosity. I take a couple more phone calls and go down the path of exploring it. At that point, it was just exploratory. This was really cool. It was sparking my interest. If anything, this will lead to a cool connection to have after running because as athletes "the next step" in our careers can be very scary and you feel like you're lacking experience or behind arbitrary timelines of where you should be in your career outside of sport. I was like, 'Well, great. Now I have someone who I can call who may be able to help me in a few years whether that's two years, six years or whatever.'
It did for whatever reason keep sitting in me. I wasn't able to shake it. It was this feeling that this is a really insane opportunity that I do not want to pass up. It's with a venture firm that similarly to Bowerman is one of the best in the world and has highly successful people. I've learned so much in that environment at Bowerman. It hasn't been the picture-perfect story but it has definitely pushed me to new heights. I thought, 'Wow. What if I could be in that environment in this other space that really does spark so much curiosity? Who knows where it could lead? Do I want a career in venture capital? I honestly don't know until I see what it's like. Going back to following my curiosity, that's what I have to go with.
I just couldn't shake it. It did force me to have this really existential breakdown of my life and running career and what is it that I really want out of running and how do I really feel? We are so driven that it's so easy to push down any feelings of not being happy. 'Because we want something so bad that by any means necessary I'm going to keep pushing; going to keep getting back up after every failure, and I'm going to keep pushing through every adversity because that's how we get to our goal. Getting to my goal is the most important thing in my whole life so I don't care what it takes. I would do anything.' That's the mindset. So I had to stop and think, 'Is that mindset serving me right now? It's not exactly getting me the results that I want anyway. So maybe there's something to that. Maybe that's not always the way that you should approach things.
I had very helpful conversations with everyone on our staff, all of our coaches, my former college coaches and a lot of mentors in my sport. I had a really difficult time with it but I'm so glad that I talked to them because I think they all really empowered me to take the leap of faith and to take the job. I don't think I would have if I didn't have those people in my corner specifically from the running side of things. They told me, 'You have already done it in a way. You've already achieved so much. You don't have to feel like you should keep pushing on this specific path.' Just feeling their support and that they were proud of me for what I've already done actually did mean the world. Shalane (Flanagan) was also really instrumental because in my dream scenario I thought I could keep working with her. I knew working with Jerry wouldn't be an option because he's not a remote coach type of guy. That's just not how he operates. Shalane actually offered to continue to help me out and continue coaching me without me even asking, which was such an honor…Never in a million years, I think I could have these two things at once. Knowing that those two things at once were an option, that's speaking to me and exciting me more than anything.

About an hour after admiring the subtle pastels of the evening sunset pictured below, I happened outside to the sky now filled with lava colored clouds.
Frequented for several years prior, this house went uninhabited the last couple of summers.
Last spring, I emptied the house of twigs and other interior features that had accumulated. My nose told me that Mr. Mouse and family had probably been squatters in this house at the expense of his avian woodland dweller neighbors.
I thought that I had accomplished this task soon enough after winter to make the house attractive to new spring tenants.
Alas, the house remained empty this summer. It rests now ready to accept occupants as soon as seasons change.

Q: Error NullPointerException en Java (Spring-boot) ya se que este es un error muy común y sucede cuando se intenta acceder a un objeto de tipo NULL, el problema es que no se por que es NULL si se supone que lo estoy instanciando, Tengo una Clase llamada NoteController en la que instancio un objeto de otra clase llamada CountryController, esta clase CountryController tiene un metodo sencillo que retorna True or False cuando hace una consulta a la base de datos, necesito llamar este metodo desde la clase NoteController pero siempre me lanza la excepcion NullPointerException, ¿Alguno sabe por qué? ... de ante mano Muchas Gracias..
//Esta es mi clase NoteController
//CLASE  NoteController
   package com.myapp.controller;

   import com.myapp.model.Notes;
   import com.myapp.repository.NoteRepository;
   import com.myapp.controller.CountryController;

   @RestController
   @RequestMapping("/api")
   public class NoteController {
     @Autowired
     NoteRepository noteRepository;
     CountryController objCountry = new CountryController();

     //Create a new Note Validation Country
     @PostMapping("/notes")
     public String createNote(@Valid @RequestBody Notes note) {
         try {
             if (objCountry.existCountry((note.getNOT_COUNTRY()))) {
                 noteRepository.save(note);
                 return "Nota Guardada";
             }else {
                 return "Nota no Guardada";
             }
         }catch(NullPointerException e) {
             return "Se produjo un  error "+ e;
         }
     }
 }

//ESTA ES MI CLASE CountryController
//Clase CountryController

package com.myapp.controller;
import com.MyApp.model.Country;
import com.MyApp.repository.CountryRepository;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class CountryController {

    public CountryController() {}

    @Autowired
    CountryRepository countryRepository;

    //Verify Country
    public Boolean existCountry(String countryId) {
     if (countryRepository.findById(countryId).isPresent()) {
         return true;
     }else {
         return false;
     }
    }
}

A: La inyección de dependencia es manejada por Spring nunca se debe crear un Controller, Servicio o Repositorio con la palabra reservada "new" esta tarea la delegamos al framework.

A: En NoteController tienes:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class NoteController {
    @Autowired
    NoteRepository noteRepository;
    CountryController objCountry = new CountryController();
    ...
}

Pero CountryController tambien es un componente de Spring:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class CountryController {
    @Autowired
    CountryRepository countryRepository;
    ...
}

Al hacerle new CountryController() sus componentes que tienen @Autowired no se inicializaran y quedaran null, en lugar de crearlo tu mismo, delega la creacion a Spring al igual como ya lo haces con tus NoteRepository y CountryRepository:
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class NoteController {
    @Autowired
    NoteRepository noteRepository;
    @Autowired
    CountryController objCountry;
    ...
}

A: No hace falta crear con la palabra reservada new.
Spring usa el principio I de SOLID, el cual es la inyeccion de dependencias.
para inyectar una clase basta con colocar la etiqueta @Autowired
en tu caso:
@Autowired
    CountryController objCountry;

Every individual likes to earn respect from the society. Nowadays, you get respect only when you have a good degree. People do not look how much you have scored instead would like to find out if you have a degree in your hands.
Having a degree can help you get a decent job and earn an excellent salary which you always desire. You must be busy with your work and unable to go to back to the college to get a degree.
Time plays a vital role in our lives and is the most important asset. For those people, who do not have time there is still a solution. You should research and find a genuine website to get degree online. Here are few benefits you get when you see degree online.
Attendance to College: If you enrol as a regular student, you need to go to the college to attend the classes. You need to pull out some time for your education which might be hard primarily if you are working. On top of it, most of the lecturers give assignments that might consume your time.
Once you are grown up and have a family to take care, things are very challenging. You will not be able to spare time for college again. Instead of spending a lot of time in the college, you can choose to buy a degree online. Many websites are selling degrees from accredited colleges.
You need to select the college from where you need the degree and buy one immediately. There are so many different courses that these institutions provide. You need to choose a degree that can best suit your requirement. With almost no or zero effort on your part, you will earn the degree you desire.
Spend Less Money: Paying for a college is a difficult thing for many people as there are so many things that you need to spend on. You have to spend a lot of money to get the degree you want. You have to pay fees for all the four years plus the additional costs towards books and tuitions. You need not worry about these things when you buy a degree online.
You just have to pay the amount to get the certificate and nothing else. You save a lot of money and yet get the degree you desire.
No Need of Exams: Well many people do not like taking examinations as it requires them to study thoroughly. Scoring good marks is not an easy thing, as there are chances to fail the tests if you are not smart. When you buy a degree from a genuine website, they will provide you with the certificates and scores that you like to have.
You can then use them to bag a job that pays you pretty well. You can climb up the ladder and get the position that you desire with almost zero efforts from your end. These are the few benefits that you enjoy when you get degree online.

A shark is swimming towards me. Not just any shark – it's a Great White. I take a deep breath, close my eyes and then open them again, widely. Yes, it's still happening. I'm cage diving with Great White sharks.
owards you. Contrary to how I imagined it, the familiar Jaws soundtrack isn't on repeat in my head. Multiple shivers have, however, spread through my body – I'm not sure if they are down to nervousness or whether I'm just cold.
Somewhere, in the back of my mind, a little voice is saying, 'Go! Swim!' But my (thumping) heart is longing to stick around and see what happens next. It's at this moment I remind myself that there is, in fact, a cage surrounding me and the shark isn't interested in me – it's just curious to all the kerfuffle in the water.
My partner has talked me into it, and a few minutes ago we were sunning ourselves on the deck of the boat. Now I'm in the water looking at a four-metre top predator square in the eye. I'll be honest, it's a brilliant way to spend a Saturday.
The Neptune Islands off Port Lincoln, South Australia is one of just three places in the world where you can go cage diving with Great Whites. The other popular spots are Cape Town, South Africa and Isle Guadalupe, Mexico. The sharks are drawn to Port Lincoln, because of its high numbers of resident New Zealand Fur Seals – basically shark food.
Three smaller Great Whites have visited us today. This one has a bulkier form. He's clearly well-fed and his grey body is covered in deep cuts and scratches. His eyes are two deep black abysses. His jaws are slack, and his jagged teeth are on show. Seriously, wow.
The reason I thought twice about going cage diving was actually for different reasons than you might think. It wasn't because I was terrified of becoming shark bait. Rather that I didn't want to be a part of shark baiting.
On average an experience with these wonderful beasts will set you back £250 – £1,500 (depending on which company you choose to go with). With this kind of cash in the pot, most operators are under tremendous pressure to make sure their clients get what they came for.
So they spill fish-blood and guts (known as 'chum') into the water by the bucket-load – a Great White's dream dinner. The result? The scent of fresh blood in the water being picked up by sharks from miles away. And hey presto – more sharks are drawn towards the boat.
Adventure Bay Charters, one of three companies here in Port Lincoln that offers cage diving with Great White sharks, purposefully do not use 'chum' in their operations.
"From what I have seen, operators that use bait cause a large amount of facial damage and scarring on sharks," explains owner, Matt Waller.
"The inflicting injuries are a result of damage when the sharks run into the cage, head first, at speed, in pursuit of food rewards.
So if they don't use bait, how are the sharks drawn in?
"We lower an underwater speaker over the side [of the boat] and play music from our phone through a household amplifier. This gives us the chance to try different suggestions – and even allow customers to listen to some of their favourite tracks while underwater.
"What is interesting is that we have noticed over the past seven years, different sharks are attracted to different songs. Some have favourites.
Is cage diving with Great White sharks worth it?
Absolutely, yes! But be wise – do it with an operator that looks after our sharks in the process. Remember we are in their waters, the sea is a shark habitat – it's natural they will roam around and look for food here. Being savvy in the water is our responsibility – and going with a company that does pull in Great Whites with bait, is a good place to start, ensuring our safety and the safety of the shark.
Getting to see these wild beings in the flesh is something phenomenal – and it turns out headlines and films give them an undeserved bad name. They don't just dart around waiting to attack some poor, unsuspecting swimmer. Instead, in a natural situation, they are curious, elegant, quiet, mesmerising, interested, without drama and completely magnificent. A delight to watch.

Venom, the unholy trinity of Cronos, Rage and Dante, celebrate a massive 10 years together with new studio album, STORM THE GATES – a 13-track outing for blasphemers, fornicators and the forever cursed.Now approaching the band's 40th anniversary, Venom have matured into a true force of nature – louder, faster, nastier and ready to unleash the hounds of Hell with STORM THE GATES, studio album No. 15. Produced by Cronos himself, this is the raw sound of a band who don't need tricks of technology to make their point. In 2018, Venom stand, as always, atop a pile of crushed skulls, wielding blood-stained sonic weapons designed to repel all that is weak and watered-down. They have effectively opened the gates (of Hell) for a whole new brand of Metal, genuinely changing the game with an intensity never before seen or heard.


Another shot of reality in this article, especially as I have 2 sub-teenage girls.
I did a talk last week to a group of 11-14 year old boys around health, but one of the last points I made, was to "Not compare" with others, if they wanted to improve happiness, confidence and self-esteem.
Whilst it's tough at that age, and socially they just want to "fit in" and doing what the others are doing etc, you remove some of your individual characteristics and traits that make you, YOU.
In life people will always move towards, resonate and want to spend more time with those they feel they "connect" with, and this comes down to individuality.
"Comparison is the thief of joy" = because you'll always end up trying to match up to somebody else intentions or objectives, and in turn taking away that "special" spark that each one of us, and that makes us that individual from the next.
You only have to look on social media like YouTube, and those people who are the most 'successful' are doing nothing different to the thousands of others out there, but the one single difference is their own 'individuality' they bring or add – the ONE THING people can't copy!
It's OK to fit in – BUT it's even better AND easier to do it as YOU!

Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Responses to M&As
Most of the research in organizational change was conducted from a macro perspective focused on organizational and cultural concerns rather than adopting a micro perspective focused on individuals cognitive concerns (Judge, Thoresen, Pucik, & Welbourne, 1999, Vakola, Tsaousis, & Nikolaou, 2003, Wanberg & Banas, 2000). Despite the repeated calls from academics for this alternative and promising perspective (Beer, Eisenstat, & Spector 1990, Line, 2005, Eneroth & Larsson, 1996, Werhane, 1998), studies with a micro focus still remain relatively limited in the field of organizational change and development (Bray, 1994, Judge et al., 1999, Elias, 2009). A number of theories (see Seo and Hill, 2005 for an overview), such as transformational leadership (Judge et al., 1999), made some advancement at the micro-level, nevertheless, there is still much to be discovered with this perspective (Elias, 2009). More especially, studies adopting a more psychological focus could shed some light on the role and impact of employees reactions in determining the success of organizational change initiatives (Elias, 2009, Judge et al., 1999, Vakola, Tsaousis & Nikolaou, 2003).

Facebook has been working on a secret project that asked hospitals to share anonymized patient data, according to a report from CNBC. The endeavor was run by Building 8, the branch of Facebook involved with long-term experimental projects.
The idea behind the venture, according to sources who spoke with CNBC, was to blend hospital data with social data. The Facebook data, which would highlight users' social ties and loved ones, could theoretically inform medical professionals about best-care practices. "The project would then figure out if this combined information could improve patient care," per the report.
Still, this project raises a bunch of privacy concerns. Though Facebook asked for the data to be anonymized, it reportedly wanted to implement cryptographic techniques that would allow the researchers to match data sets. This project would essentially hand Facebook even more personal data, this time containing personal health-related information.
The medical industry has long understood that there are general health benefits to having a close-knit circle of family and friends. But deeper research into this link is needed to help medical professionals develop specific treatment and intervention plans that take social connection into account.
With this in mind, last year Facebook began discussions with leading medical institutions, including the American College of Cardiology and the Stanford University School of Medicine, to explore whether scientific research using anonymized Facebook data could help the medical community advance our understanding in this area. This work has not progressed past the planning phase, and we have not received, shared, or analyzed anyone's data.
Last month we decided that we should pause these discussions so we can focus on other important work, including doing a better job of protecting people's data and being clearer with them about how that data is used in our products and services.
Facebook has been embroiled in a huge privacy controversy since revelations that Cambridge Analytica harvested millions of users' data. It seems that Facebook made the (probably correct) calculation that asking health professionals to hand over patient data probably wasn't the best move for the time being.
Still, it seems like the project could be revived sometime in the future. You can read the full CNBC report here.


Serverless versus containers: the tech industry has pitted serverless and containers against each other. We are constantly reminded of the scalability of serverless. We are constantly reminded of the scalability of containers. We are reminded how serverless scales so well. We are reminded how Kubernetes scales so well. Are they talking about the same thing?
The serverless movement and the container movement share the same vision of simplifying deploying and managing your application. You are promised peace of mind and endless scalability. Both accomplish it using the same fundamentals of building an orchestrator that simplifies the management and deployment of software applications and reduces cost.
Serverless and Containers are friends. Did you know that your serverless functions are already running on containers behind the scenes? Did you know that there is an orchestrator behind the scenes that's usually running your serverless functions?
More specifically we can think of serverless functions and Docker containers running on Kubernetes as best friends. Both simplify your life and allow you to build applications at a high abstraction level so you can focus more on developing your applications and less on the infrastructure underneath.
When it comes time to picking how to architect your application, there are a few things to consider: How big is the workload? How often does it run? How big is the functionality you are building?
Serverless functions invoking other functions. A sequence of serverless functions is called a workflow.
The main difference between container based microservices and serverless functions is how long they run. If the code you are adding is smaller components, you might prefer serverless functions (rather than API-based-microservices). Functions are convenient for scenarios like transforming data through a real-time analytics stream, tagging images or audio clips, and verifying uploaded user data.
If the component you are building runs infrequently or if your workload is very spiky, serverless functions could be a great option for you.
Do you want to prototype some functionality, deploy it and test it out in minutes? Then serverless functions might be just the right tool for you.
Some serverless solutions also offer Workflows capabilities– allowing you to define the sequence of multiple functions, so you can build complex apps that span many functions.
You can check out some other top uses of serverless functions here.
Using containers with Kubernetes as the orchestrator allows for great flexibility in application development. Kubernetes provides a platform that is uniform, scalable, and easy to manage. Kubernetes provides a great foundation for running any kind of workload efficiently and serverless functions can be one of those workloads.
You should be able to run your serverless functions along your Docker containers, in one place, managed by one thing. You should be able to leverage economies of scale of your Kubernetes cluster. You should be able to run both serverless functions as well as your microservices in one place, have them communicate easily with minimal overhead.
Start writing and running serverless functions on Kubernetes using Fission. Fission is an open source, Functions as a Service, serverless framework for Kubernetes.
Fission enables you to code serverless functions in any language, and have them run wherever you have a Kubernetes cluster: in the public cloud, in your own data center, or even on your laptop. Fission automatically manages the infrastructure for you. There's no need for in-depth knowledge of Kubernetes at scale, no containers to build or registries to manage.
With Fission, you can get started quickly and get the most out of your k8s cluster, benefiting from speed and cost savings of serverless – on any environment.
Fission allows you to quickly develop Kubernetes-based apps with no need for Kubernetes expertise, let-alone expertise in managing Kubernetes at scale.
Just write your code, Fission will make it run on Kubernetes. Fission supports over 10 languages and 5 trigger types and counting. Robust dev features – such as live-reload, record-replay, automated canary deployments, Prometheus integrations, and more – allow developers to move fast while improving the quality of your code from the start.
Run your "Lambda-like" service anywhere: On-premises, too!
Since Fission is open source and works on any Kubernetes cluster, it enables enterprises to easily run a Lambda-like Serverless service on any infrastructure – using either the cheaper instances on public clouds or leveraging their own data centers.
Fission lets you benefit from the abstraction of Serverless, the speed, and cost saving — with full control of your code, integrations, services, and the infrastructure where you deploy. You're not locked-in to a specific cloud provider, and you can even run on-prem (enabling developers to take advantage of serverless on private datacenters, while improving infrastructure utilization and lowering costs.) Running on-prem is also critical for certain industries – such as financial services – that require high security and clear isolation of their workloads.
With zero lock-in, Fission allows you to stay cloud agnostic. You can easily deploy your serverless functions across all clouds or port them between environments. Your developers don't have to worry about how AWS Lambda works differently from Google Cloud Functions, and so on.
Fission offers fine-grained cost and performance optimization controls. You can configure specific CPU and memory resource usage limits, set up rules for autoscaling, and set min/max parameters for your serverless functions. You can do the same thing for your containers, right? Everything is easy and you can think of your resources in the same way. Maximize your resource utilization and increase the efficiency of your workloads – also for on-prem environments.
When your serverless functions run on Kubernetes, you can leverage the same tooling that you use in your Kubernetes ecosystem. This means Istio, ConfigMaps, Secretes, or Persistent Volumes. This also means logging, metrics, aggregation, authentication, and authorization. You can manage how you roll out deployments, how to protect against brownout for your microservices and your functions the same way. Prometheus integration? Fission has you covered. Canary Deployments? Fission has you covered. Don't have to learn the tool twice. Use the same tools throughout your entire infrastructure.
Is the future containers or is the future serverless?
There is only one winner in the future and that's you the engineer. The future is where engineers get to pick the right level of abstraction for their job without having to worry about cloud-providers, vendors, etc. The future is a place where engineers can easily code, deploy, and operate applications quickly. Sometimes that means writing serverless functions. Sometimes that means running microservices in Docker. What matters is that you have the power to make the right choice yourself. The platform you use should support you in doing so.
Serverless functions are great for prototyping. You write the code and easily deploy it to test it. You can also get your code compiled, run, and tested as you type. Live reload is a truly revolutionary feature because engineers can prototype, develop, and test their ideas in a matter of minutes. Can any cloud provider do that?
With Live-reload, Fission automatically deploys the code as it is written into a live Kubernetes test cluster, and allows you to toggle between your development environment and the runtime of the function, to rapidly iterate through their coding and testing cycles. This allows bugs to be found and fixed earlier in the application development lifecycle. It also simplifies and increases the fidelity of integration tests, by running them earlier in the process using a live environment that's consistent with the configuration and related services (i.e. database, API calls, etc.) that are used in Production.
Fission offers Record-replay functionality for easy testing and troubleshooting. This is very handy for debugging problems in production, for reproducing problems, and verifying they are fixed. It's easy to start recording traffic (or a subset of it) and use that to ensure function is running. You can use that for your integration or load testing. Can any cloud provider do that?
To allow IT to maximize infrastructure utilization on both public cloud and on-premises resources, Fission offers fine-grained cost and performance optimization controls. Serverless functions can be configured with specific CPU and Memory resource usage limits, minimum/maximum number of instances and auto-scaling parameters. These parameters allow for functions to be tuned with an execution strategy that best fits the specific business use case. Functions can also take advantage of Fission's pre-warmed container pools, which aggregate the cost of pooling over a large number of functions while providing the performance benefits for all of them.
With Fission developers can easily code, deploy, and operate Serverless applications that are production-ready from the get-go. They can run anywhere: on-prem and in the public cloud.

The latest winter storm is expected to create difficult driving conditions Tuesday.
Accumulating snow is expected from midnight until 9 p.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Duluth, with between 5 and 9 inches of snow possible in Northwestern Wisconsin and 3 to 7 inches over portions of Northeastern Minnesota. The heaviest amounts in Minnesota are expected for areas near Two Harbors and Silver Bay with lake-enhanced snowfall.
The system is likely to affect both the morning and afternoon commutes, according to the weather service.
The weather service reported 6.5 inches of snow from Sunday through 5 p.m. Monday at its office near the Duluth International Airport. A station near Two Harbors recorded 9 inches as of 11 a.m. on Monday, while Silver Bay reported 8 inches.
Duluth has seen 22 inches of snow so far in February, far above the average of 4.5 inches. For the winter so far, 65.9 inches have fallen, about 8 inches more than normal, according to Weather Service records. Snow depth at the airport as of Monday afternoon was 26 inches.

Q: RPC: Method Invocation Vs Api Call I am having a hard time understanding RPC in terms of the implementation. Several articles that I have read on RPC, I have seen following examples related to RPC:
Example: A RPC api
GET /readStudent?studentid=123

Example: A RPC call
POST /student HTTP/1.1
HOST: api.demo.com
Content-Type: application/json

{"name": "John Doe"}

As far as I have read and understood, RPC allows a client application to directly call methods on a server application on a different machine as if it was a local object.
So, what is the above examples all about ? Why are we making api calls instead of invoking methods ?
I am assuming that in these RPC examples above, the URLs might be pointing to public methods and the method arguments are passed here in the query string or body.
And if that is the case, why can't I simply use REST then ? Why make an effort of exposing public methods(whose actual implementation must be elsewhere according to RPC principles) through HTTP api ?
I am also confused about what is the actual RPC way and which way should be preferred.

A: Your examples could indicate how one RPC implementation transports requests to a distinct process.  But there should be a translation layer that lets a client simply call methods/functions/procedures, like readStudent(123) and createStudent("John Doe").  Often there is also a corresponding server-side layer that lets the application code implement only those methods/functions/procedures (and not the details of the JSON/HTTP or other transport).  These translation (or "marshalling") layers are often machine-generated from an application-specific interface specification, to avoid tedious manual coding of the translation boilerplate.  Such interface specification is written in an Interface Definition Language (IDL).
REST imposes some conventional semantics that method calls may not honor.  And it does not necessarily offer a translation layer to give the illusion of application-specific method calls.

John Lithgow Talks About Dexter's End and Trinity Killer: "He Left His Little Signature There"
via Zap2it: John Lithgow is among those who will be sorry to see "Dexter" go. The veteran actor has a vested reason: For his portrayal of the so-called "Trinity Killer" in Season 4 of the Showtime drama, he earned several awards including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
As he now watches Michael C. Hall as the title murderer in the eighth and last round of the Sunday series, he admits to having pangs about the show' s imminent end.
"I went to a premiere party for the final season and saw all those guys for the first time in a couple of years," the pleasant Lithgow tells Zap2it, "and it was very sentimental. I really felt very much a part of that group, even though I was only there for one-eighth of the time [of the series' overall history]. I felt very connected, probably because Trinity struck such a chord."
He most certainly did, leaving a lasting, haunting calling card: his apparent killing of Dexter's wife Rita (Julie Benz), found dead in a bathtub as the couple's then-infant son Harrison sat in a pool of blood nearby.
"When people think of the entire eight years, they tend to think of Trinity as the worst of the villains, the most terrifying," Lithgow says. "He left his little signature there."
Set to voice the White Rabbit in the upcoming ABC spinoff "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," Lithgow owns three more Emmys for the sitcom "3rd Rock From the Sun," plus one for the Steven Spielberg-produced anthology "Amazing Stories." While his busy schedule often involves traveling to perform his one-man stage show "Stories by Heart," Lithgow always has managed to keep an eye on "Dexter."
"I was delighted to see Colin Hanks come on," he says, "and now, Charlotte Rampling. They've done an amazing job sustaining the show for all these years. And they're fabulous people there."

I have been pining away for this iconic luxurious shampoo for over a year. Something about the astronomical price point and the endless raving just had me drooling. Vogue named it best of the best. The trigger had to be pulled. Just had to.
Carefully savoring the unwrapping, I opened the tub to reveal a sticky molasses like texture. After a little fumbling, I found I could lather it a bit in my hands but it was best just to spread on the crown of my head. Soon, the glue-like texture turned into rich lather. Then the magic happens.
After my wash, at dinner that evening? Compliments flew freely. I was even asked if I had a keratin treatment. Nope – it was just my shampoo. The Amber Oil and Shea Butter act ultra-nourishing. The silk and soy proteins strengthen strands. And Emollient Chamomile, Grape Seed, Rosemary, Nettle, Burdock and Sage left amazingly shiny.
It might be a real indulgence. But I absolutely think it is worth it for special occasions. The 355ml is $140, but I have the smaller jar – enough for maybe 8 washes – 90ml for $50. Russian Amber is safe for color treated hair.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Grand Opening of the Diaspora Expressions Expo
Contact: Naomie Pierre-Louis
Email: naomie.pierrelouis@diplomatie.ht
Embassy of Haiti in Washington DC Launches a Post-modern Haitian Art Exhibit to Unveil the Hidden Talents of Artists in the Diaspora Community "Diaspora Expressions Expo"
EMBASSY OF HAITI IN WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Embassy is pleased to announce the launch of its newest art exhibit, called the "Diaspora Expressions Expo", a post-modern Haitian art exposition curated to unveil the hidden talents of artists in the Diaspora community. For the occasion, the Embassy will host a Grand Opening on Friday, August 2, 2019 from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm.
Ambassador Hervé H. Denis decided to launch his tenure in Washington DC with an Art Diplomacy Series centered on the works created by members of the Haitian Diaspora to accentuate the role of art in cultural promotion and integrate the Diaspora in Haiti's cultural diplomacy efforts. "The Diaspora is one of Haiti's greatest resources and incredibly talented. The admiration for their heritage is evident through the number of organizations, associations and social media initiatives created to share Haiti's beauty and historical significance. In essence, they are seeking to (re)connect with their roots and contribute to the Haiti conversation. This initiative offers them a platform to do just that," says Ambassador Denis.
As part of the exhibit, the Embassy will host a periodic Artist Talkback to offer the Washington metropolitan community an opportunity to engage with the artists and hear their stories. In the spirit of Diaspora engagement, the Embassy invited Haitian-American artist and American University adjunct professor, Charles Jean Pierre, to co-curate the exhibit.
The exposition will be open for individual and group tours from August 5, 2019 to December 30, 2019 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday. To schedule a tour outside of the visiting hours, please send an email to wilzafrazil.metellus@diplomatie.ht. In the interim, we encourage you to join us for the Grand Opening by clicking here.

On This Date in SCOTUS History – June 13
photo by Jennifer Enberg
In 1966, the landmark case of Miranda v. State of Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966), was decided. The 5-4 majority held that a person in custody must be informed of his right to counsel before and during questioning, and the right to not self-incriminate. It further held that the suspect must not only understand these rights but, should the suspect choose to waive these rights, that it be done voluntarily. While most are familiar with the case of Miranda v. Arizona, which gave rise to the term "Miranda rights," did you know that three additional cases fell under this SCOTUS ruling? Westover v. United States, Vignera v. New York, and California v. Stewart, had been consolidated with Miranda.
In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was nominated to the Court by President Johnson. He was confirmed on August 30, 1967, by a vote of 69-11, becoming the first African American to serve as an Associate Justice. Justice Marshall, himself, won 29 out of the 32 cases he argued before the Supreme Court, the most famous being Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954).
