COVID-19: Fully Vaccinated People Can Stop Wearing Masks Indoors And Outdoors, CDC Says
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer need to wear masks or physically distance — whether indoors or outdoors in most circumstances.
"We have all longed for this moment when we can get back to some sense of normalcy," the CDC's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said during a media briefing Thursday afternoon.
"Based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases, the scientific data on the performance of our vaccines and our understanding of how the virus spreads," Walensky said, "that moment has come for those who are fully vaccinated."
President Joe Biden called the move a "great milestone" during remarks Thursday at the White House, adding that it was "made possible by the extraordinary success we've had in vaccinating so many Americans, so quickly."
More than 35 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.
Outside experts in infectious disease overwhelmingly hailed the move.
"Today marks a true turning point in the pandemic," said a former acting director of the CDC, Dr. Richard Besser, president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "If you're fully vaccinated, you are good to go. That's huge."
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said: "It's exactly what we ought to be doing right now. I think it follows the best science."
Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease physician with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said the move is "long overdue."
"Our goal was to tame this virus, to defang and to remove its ability to threaten hospitals," Adalja said. "I think we've accomplished that in the United States."
The recommendations come more than a year after the CDC first recommended that Americans should wear masks to protect against spreading or catching the coronavirus. At that time, the U.S. was logging more than 1,000 Covid-19 deaths a day.
A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the last dose of Covid-19 vaccine. That gives the immune system enough time to develop antibodies against the virus.
The new recommendation is proof, Walensky said, that the vaccines are working extraordinarily well. She cited several studies from the U.S. and Israel that demonstrated vaccines are more than 90 percent effective in preventing symptomatic Covid-19.
There are a few caveats, however. People who have compromised immune systems, for example, should talk to their doctors about continuing with mitigation measures. And even fully vaccinated people may still be asked to wear masks in certain places, such as in hospitals or other health care settings, as well as public transportation.
"Right now for travel, we're asking people to wear their masks," Walensky said. "We still have the requirement to wear masks when you travel on buses, trains and other forms of public transportation."
The CDC updated its guidance about what fully vaccinated people can do safely without masks. CDC
The guidance comes two days after Walensky and other federal health officials were grilled about mask guidance during a Senate hearing on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said the American people had "lost patience" over the CDC's mixed messages on mask-wearing. In late April, the CDC said people who are fully vaccinated could forgo masks outdoors but not in crowded spaces.
"I think the CDC has received many contacts from the field, people in public health departments and academic centers, urging that they move" toward lifting mask recommendations, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
"Vaccinated people need some sort of reward," Schaffner said.
Even though the vaccines work well, they are not perfect, and breakthrough infections can occur. Of the more than 117 million people in the U.S. who have been fully vaccinated, 9,245 later tested positive for Covid-19. Those illnesses have generally been mild.
Meanwhile, even those who have been vaccinated should still feel comfortable wearing masks if they choose, experts said. It is clear that masking and physical distancing this winter worked to stop the spread of respiratory diseases, such as the flu.
"We have all been getting such comfort out of wearing our masks and keeping apart," Besser said. "And now to say, OK, it's safe to come out? It's going to take a little while for people to internalize that."
Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, warned against relaxing mitigation measures too much, especially in states with lower vaccination rates.
"Transmission is still high in certain parts of the country, and this needs to be monitored," Hotez said. "If transmission starts going up again, we may have to be prepared to modify this."
For now, the CDC guidance applies only to those who have been fully vaccinated. Soon, that group will include children ages 12 and older, now that the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration have both signed off on Covid-19 vaccines for that age group.
The CDC is expected to update its guidance on children in school and summer camps soon.
For those who remain unvaccinated or who have only had a single dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, Walensky advised continuing to wear masks.

Collections- Keeping a record...
A collection is an assembly of items such as writings, images, photographs, plans, that are systematically ordered and accessible. LACF funded collections record, communicate and reveal different dimensions of landscape and landscape architecture. LACF collections keep a record for the future.
#1. The Frances McLeod Blue Collection / Fund
Source unknown_ Imagined CSLA meeting c. 1940
The Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation established the Frances McLeod Blue Collection in 2007 with a grant of $5,000.00 and a commitment for subsequent annual grants of $1,000.00. This contribution is directed to the ongoing support of the collections, including digitization projects and development of a website to make the collection easily accessible.
The collection, within the Archival & Special Collections at the University of Guelph Library, was established in recognition of Frances Blue, (1914-1992) who served the profession as a dedicated volunteer and official recorder of CSLA history for over 40 years. In 1992, her estate donated a generous bequest of $225,000 to the LACF.
The Frances McLeod Blue Fund supports a collection that includes her photographs, drawings and watercolours. Also included are historical records from other landscape architects and firms that are representative of her era (1920 to 1975). The purpose of the Frances McLeod Blue Fund is to support the Frances McLeod Blue Collection; purchase landscape architecture resources; digitize drawings and other materials; and process materials of historical relevance to Canadian landscape architecture in general.

Who was Frances Blue?
Frances McLeod Blue (1914-1992) was one of Canada's first female landscape architects. A Torontonian by birth, she was educated at Havergal College in Toronto, le Collège féminine de Bouffemont near Paris, and the Lowthorpe School of Landscape Architecture in Groton, Massachusetts, where she graduated in 1937. Frances became a full member of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) in 1939 and served in varying capacities between 1941 and 1966. In 1966, she was inducted into the College of Fellows for her extensive and valuable service to the Society. In subsequent years Frances served as the official recorder of CSLA history. Considering her profound dedication to landscape architecture, perhaps it was not surprising that even after her death in 1992, our profession greatly benefited from her generosity. Between 1992 and 2003, her estate donated a bequest of $225,000 to the Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation (LACF) and provided a solid foundation for grants in support of research, scholarship and communication.

#2. Canadian Landscape Portfolio / CLP-PPC
Jean Landry, FCSLA
The Canadian Landscape Portfolio - Portfolio des Paysages Canadiens (CLP-PPC), is a project that received support through the LACF Grants program and is a described as a 3 part series of compiled photographic collections and selections that illustrate the diversity of Canada's landscapes as interpreted though through the camera lens and written descriptions of CSLA members. The CLP has also been designed as a participatory tool and ultimately a visual complement to the Canadian Landscape Charter with the intent that these collections ultimately illustrate why "landscapes" are so vital to us all.
.1_ A first edition_ Significant Landscapes
Near Jasper,2016_ W.Graham
CLP part 1 focused on building a set of ten (10) Collections - one per component association plus one for the CSLA - representing significant landscapes that shape our everyday lives in some way. These collections portrayed "personal perspectives and understandings" of the landscapes we live in.

CLP part 2 edition explore "designed" landscapes and illustrate how (skillfully) designed landscapes enhance our daily experiences and ultimately our quality of life. Again, these selected images are to be seen as personal perspectives by Canadian landscape architects.

.3_ Dreamed Landscapes
CLP part 3 is about transiting from a "Dreamed Landscape to Landscapes of our Dreams", from an "abstract concept to a physical place" where people live and work. This Collection is currently in the process of being completed.
LACF is grateful to the many individuals who contributed their images and ideas to these photographic portfolios. The stunning photographs selected for this project now populate the LACF website and reveal a Canadian perception and understanding of our regions and territories.

The Family Connection began as a not-for-profit organization in 1986 under the name Abilities Unlimited. The name was changed to The Family Connection of St. Joseph County in 1996.
For many years, The Family Connection did projects throughout the community, always with a goal to make systems better and more responsive to children and families.
Since 2001, we've focused almost exclusively on raising quality in early childhood education through the Community Foundation's Early Years Count Education Initiative and Head Start.
Here, in no particular order, are some of the projects we have loved:
Focus groups for the St. Joseph County Public Library
When the library was set to build a new branch for Centre Township in 1997, they enlisted The Family Connection to conduct focus groups with potential patrons, from students to seniors. The library listened well to the public voices, resulting in a cozy, convenient, and inviting new building. Since then, we've gathered ideas and shared the dreams for the new Lakeville, North Liberty, German Township, and Francis library buildings, as well as the remodeling of River Park, LaSalle, Tutt, Western, and the main library basement. We love that the library works hard at meeting the needs of its constituents. You can see the branches here.
Step Ahead Needs Assessment for Children and Families
Imagine being turned loose for a whole year to find out everything possible about children and families in our county. In 1992, we were able to do just that. Our information gathering included interviews with 80 key informants, almost 30 focus groups, and a multitude of surveys—including a 4-page questionnaire returned by 2,135 families. There's a copy on hand at the St. Joseph County Public Library or you can borrow one from us if you are so inclined.
In 1993 - 1995, we partnered with Indiana's Bureau of Child Development to take a look at what was then termed "consumer involvement." We worked with—and learned greatly from—a group of dedicated parents who volunteered to join various committees and share their experiences with us. This work culminated in a written report, Lessons Learned: Consumer Involvement in First Steps and Step Ahead, that was shared throughout the country. You can find a copy here.
We helped write a US Department of Education Title IV Parental Assistance Grant to fund the start of the Indiana Center for Family, School and Community Partnerships in 1997, then wrote and produced a series of newsletters for them called Partners in Learning that was sent to all elementary schools in Indiana. We'll add links to still-relevant articles as we have time.
learn.fun
In 2000, we wrote a successful 21st Century Community Learning Center grant through the Department of Education for the South Bend Community School Corporation. This $3 million dollar, 3-year grant provided after-school programing for 600 children in five high-need elementary schools.
The Early Years Count!
In 2000, the Lilly Endowment gave Community Foundations in Indiana the opportunity to apply for a $5 million grant to enhance education in their counties. We were privileged to be able to work with the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County to develop and write a winning proposal that brought the Early Years Count! to our county. From 2001 to 2005, The Family Connection coordinated the project and ran "Bridges," the elementary school component. Since 2005, the Community Foundation's Early Years Count Education Initiative has been funded through the generosity of local funders and The Family Connection has been running the entire project for the Community Foundation. You can find out what's currently happening here.
By 2005, our community was more than ready for an updated needs assessment for children birth to five. We produced this report for the Step Ahead Council with funding from the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County and United Way. The report focused on the three ongoing issues of early childhood education and care: accessibility, quality, and affordability. You can download a copy here.
We love love love Head Start and have worked closely with teachers and administrators from the very start of the Early Years Count Initiative (and many of us in various roles and capacities prior to that). In addition to the work we do through the Early Years Count, we provide training, assessments, and individualized professional development to all the programs in our community under the Head Start / Early Head Start umbrella.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) NewsImpact StoriesNews
Kenya's Unlikely COVID-19 Hero
by Amref Health Africa September 21, 2020
Working as a security guard at a hospital gate, this Kenyan woman has beaten the odds to achieve her dreams and is in the middle of the fight against COVID-19.
By Dominic Kirui
Nyeri, Kenya — On a chilly Tuesday morning at the Consolata Mission Hospital in Kenya's Nyeri County, Jane Kagwiria attends to patients and visitors at the gate as they come into the hospital. She checks their temperatures and ensures they follow the COVID-19 rules to wash their hands and maintain a social distance before entrance. She is a security guard at the hospital.
The 27-year-old mother of one, was able to get all these skills from the training she received from Amref Health Africa through the EU COVID-19 Response Programme. As a security guard, a vital part of her work is providing information about the virus to people coming to the hospital.

Kagwiria continues to educate her community on the importance of adhering to prevention measures to curb the spread of the disease. Because of her dedication and passion in her work, she was chosen by the hospital management to be part of the hospital's COVID-19 response team.
"When we first attended the training, there were some forms we were supposed to fill but after filling, the person in charge of training looked at the list and asked who I was and what a security guard was doing at a health workers' training. I had put my name among those of doctors and nurses," she says. "But after explaining myself and my passion, I was allowed to attend and complete the training.
Kagwiria is also a student at the Sister Leonella Consolata Medical College that is housed by the hospital. She is studying preoperative theatre technology, a course she says has been the best challenge in her life and one that she says will fulfill her dream.

But, even as she climbs up the ladder of life and succeeds in what she does right now, Kagwiria's past life has not been a walk in the park.
In 2006 at age 11, she ran away from her home when her father wanted her to get circumcised so she could be married off.
"My father who was a drunkard at the time wanted me to get married after getting circumcised. I thought to myself that I couldn't continue with that life and so I decided to run away," she says.

She then went to the priest at their church and explained to him what had happened and he took her to a nun with whom she lived and worked as a house help at Nkubu in Meru County where she was born.
She then met another priest while at Nkubu and being a jovial kid and an active Sunday school pupil, he asked her what she would like after she explained to him she had run away from home. "I told him that I would wish to go back to school," she says.

The priest agreed and took her back to school, this time to a boarding school, where she sat her primary school exam three years later and passed. She then joined a secondary school and after four years, she sat her high school final year exams.
She then went back to her previous employer who was a nurse to work again as a house help, and she was welcomed. A few months later, Kagwiria joined some youth who were looking for a job at a security company. After going through an interview, she was hired.
"That was the beginning of my career as a security guard. As I went through training, my former high school principal gave me pocket money to survive through training. And when I started working, I was posted to St. Teresa Mission Hospital where I met a man who was a doctor there and fell in love with. I got pregnant with my son but he wanted me to have an abortion. He gave me money but I did not take it as I felt that my child's life was more important," she explains.

Kagwiria now works for AND Security Company Ltd and is stationed at the Consolata Mission Hospital at Mathari in Nyeri. Here, she is praised as being the best.
Regina Kajuju, the Quality Assurance Manager at the hospital says that she met Kagwiria in 2018 when she was employed to work at the gate as a security guard.

"Despite the fact that she has been working at the gate, she is so much attached to the patients. She has even gone ahead to join the college when she heard of an opportunity to train as a theatre technician. That was her own initiative, not being sponsored by the hospital," Kajuju says.

Father Lucas Gatero, the Assistant Director at the Archdiocese of Nyeri (ADN) Security Company Limited also confirms the same.
"She has been the best we have in the company and have, in several occasions added her responsibilities. There was a time we wanted to move her to another workstation but even the hospital management opposed it, saying she was their best guard at the hospital gate," Father Gatero says of Kagwiria.

Kagwiria is now almost completing her studies and is left with an internship where she is attached to the hospital and working at the theatre as an intern. She is on unpaid leave at the security company, but still volunteers to work there and help out during the pandemic.

Laibach: 10 Items of the Covenant
Laibach: 10 Items of the Covenant, Neue Slowenische Kunst, AMOK Books, 1991
LAIBACH works as a team (the collective spirit), according to the model of industrial production and totalitarianism, which means that the individual does not speak; the organization does. Our work is industrial, our language political.
LAIBACH analyzes the relation between ideology and culture in a late phase, presented through art. LAIBACH sublimates the tension between them and the existing disharmonies (social unrest, individual frustrations, and ideological oppositions) and thus eliminates direct ideological and systemic discursiveness of all kinds. The name itself and the emblem are visible materializations of the idea on the level of a cognitive symbol. The name LAIBACH is a suggestion of the actual possibility of establishing a politicized ideological (system) art because of the influence of politics and ideology.
All art is subject to political manipulation (indirectly – consciousness; directly), except for that which speaks the language of this same manipulation. To speak in political terms means to reveal and acknowledge the omnipresence of politics. The role of the most humane form of politics is the bridging of the gap between reality and the mobilizing spirit. Ideology takes the place of authentic forms of social consciousness. The subject in modern society assumes the role of the politicized subject by acknowledging these facts. LAIBACH reveals and expresses the linkage of politics and ideology with industrial production and the unbridgeable gaps between this link and the spirit.
The triumph of anonymity and facelessness has been intensified to the absolute through a technological process. All individual differences of the authors are annulled, every trace of individuality erased. The technological process is a method of programming function. It represents development; i.e., purposeful change. To isolate a particle of this process and form it statically, means to reveal man's negation of any kind of evolution which is foreign to and inadequate for his biological evolution.
LAIBACH adopts the organizational system of industrial production and the identification with ideology as its work method. In accordance with this, each member personally rejects his individuality, thereby expressing the relationship between the particular form of production system and ideology and the individual. The form of social production appears in the manner of production of LAIBACH music itself and the relations within the group. The group functions operationally according to the principle of rational transformation, and its (hierarchical) structure is coherent.
The internal structure functions on the directive principle and symbolizes the relation of ideology towards the individual. The idea is concentrated in one (and the same) person, who is prevented from any kind of deviation. The quadruple principle acts by the same key (EBER-SALIGER-KELLER-DACHAUER), which – predestined – conceals in itself an arbitrary number of sub-objects (depending on the needs).
The flexibility and anonymity of the members prevents possible individual deviations and allows a permanent revitalization of the internal juices of life. A subject who can identify himself with the extreme position of contemporary industrial production automatically becomes a LAIBACH member (and is simultaneously condemned for his objectivism).
The basis of LAIBACH's activity lies in its concept of unity, which expresses itself in each media according to appropriate laws (art, music, film…).
The material of LAIBACH manipulation: Taylorism, bruitism, Nazi Kunst, disco…
The principle of work is totally constructed and the compositional process is a dictated "ready-made:" Industrial production is rationally developmental, but if we extract from this process the element of the moment and emphasize it, we also assign to it the mystical dimension of alienation, which reveals the magical component of the industrial process. Repression over the industrial ritual is transformed into a compositional dictate and the politicization of sound can become absolute sonority.
LAIBACH excludes any evolution of the original idea; the original concept is not evolutionary but entelechical, and the presentation is only a link between this static and the changing determinant unit. We take the same stand towards the direct influence of the development of music on the LAIBACH concept; of course, this influence is a material necessity but it is of secondary importance and appears only as a historical musical foundation of the moment which, in its choice is unlimited. LAIBACH expresses its timelessness with the artefacts of the present and it is thus necessary that at the intersection of politics and industrial production (the culture of art, ideology, and consciousness) it encounters the elements of both, although it wants to be both. This wide range allows LAIBACH to oscillate, creating the illusion of movement (development).
LAIBACH practices provocation on the revolted state of the alienated consciousness (which must necessarily find itself an enemy) and unites warriors and opponents into an expression of a static totalitarian scream.
It acts as a creative illusion of strict institutionalism, as a social theatre of popular culture, and communicates only through non-communication.
Besides LAIBACH, which concerns itself with the manner of industrial production in totalitarianism, there also exist two other groups in the concept of LAIBACH KUNST aesthetics: GERMANIA studies the emotional side of existence, which is outlined in relations to the general ways of emotional, erotic and family life, lauding the foundations of the state functioning of emotions on the old classicist form of new social ideologies.
DREIHUNDERT TAUSEND VERSCHIEDENE KRAWALLE is a retrospective futuristic negative utopia (the era of peace has ended).
LAIBACH is the knowledge of the universality of the moment. It is the revelation of the absence of balance between sex and work, between servitude and activity. It uses all expressions of history to mark this imbalance. This work is without limit; God has one face, the devil infinitely many. LAIBACH is the return of action on behalf of the idea.

Two of my good con buddies (both of whom have graced these pages before) were up here for a concert, and we all went and did touristy stuff the next day. I actually hadn't seem much of the monuments and museums since moving in, so it was good fun... and I got a whole bunch of comic ideas out of it, to boot!
And yes, the final panel did happen. We still have NO idea who this dude was, but he was strutting around, taking the Metro in all this SUPER shiny clothes that were probably stolen from an MC Hammer backup dancer. Welcome to the big city!

Sidmouth Juniors back in action – and loving every minute of it!
Published: 10:28 AM July 9, 2020 Updated: 7:12 PM November 7, 2020

The first Sunday in July saw the very popular Sidmouth Running Club Juniors group return to action, writes Kerry Boyle.
With Coronavirus pandemic restrictions in place the youngsters have bene unable to meet up and so this was the first gathering of the group for three months!
Owing to the restrictions and guidelines in place and the importance of social distancing, each group could not be bigger than five athletes along with the one coach.
This meant that the 20 spaces very quickly filled up with keen youngsters wanting to be involved again.
This unfortunately also meant turning some away until the rules change.
The juniors used the fields up at the top end of the Byes in Sidford as they are spacious and tend to have fewer dogs in them. There were two younger groups of eight- to 10-year-olds who concentrated on games based on the fundamentals of athletics and two groups of 10- to13-year-olds, who mainly practiced strength and conditioning work.
All the children really enjoyed themselves as many are not back at school and it is great that they can be doing some activities with their friends again.
Straight after the session Jemma Wiltshire, Mum of Ben and Elsie who were in Charlie Forrer's group said: "Thank you so much for setting this up. The kids are buzzing. Just what they needed."
Els Laureys who has Ella in Kerry Boyle's group and Arden in Tim Dafforn's said: "It gave the children a great feeling to be an active part of the club again."
Claire Ashby is the fourth coach and, in her group, Flo Rousseau-Kennell's mother said: "A big thank you to all involved with the club – it's great to be back."
There will be two more sessions this term and we are hoping that come September, we will be able to have bigger groups, so that more children will be able to join in!
Anyone interested in helping or coaching please contact the junior's coach via email: juniors@sidmouthrunningclub.co.uk or the website: Sidmouth Running Club – Eat, Sleep, Run, Repeat

Q: ASP.NET MVC 2: prevent ajax action link from replacing the updateTarget I use an ajax action link on a view, then bind a js function onto its onCompleted property.
In this function, i get the response object, do some funny stuff, then write the message property to the updatetarget element.
The problem is, when it finishes its work on the oncompleted event, it writes the raw json response onto the updatetarget element, replacing the text i already written. I want to prevent it to write the raw response to the updatetarget. I'm aware of the InsertionMode property, but its useless to me because it appends text to the element one way or another.
The scripts i mentioned are below;
The code of the action link on view:
<%: Ajax.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete",
 new { id = Model.Id, secretKey = Model.SecretKey },
 new AjaxOptions { OnComplete = "WriteJsonResultToElement", UpdateTargetId="commandResult" })
%>

The WriteJsonResultToElement function
function WriteJsonResultToElement(resultObject) {
updateTarget = resultObject.get_updateTarget();
obj = resultObject.get_object();
$(updateTarget).text(obj.message); // here i set the text of update target
if (obj.result > 0)
    $('*:contains("' + obj.id + '")').last().parent().remove();
}

My JsonResult Delete method returns this data after action:
{"message":"Deleted","result":1,"id":132}

Thanks.

A: If you don't want the raw JSON response appended to the DOM don't specify an UpdateTargetId:
<%: Ajax.ActionLink(
    "Delete",
    "Delete",
    new { id = Model.Id, secretKey = Model.SecretKey },
    new AjaxOptions { OnComplete = "success" })
%>

and handle it in the success callback:
function success(result) {
    var obj = result.get_object();
    alert(obj.message);
    // TODO: do something with the object
}

Rail Business
Innovation Centre supports evolution from 'find & fix' to 'predict & prevent'
UK: 'It is about developing the means to operate a railway in a more effective and safer way', said Mark Bullock, Balfour Beatty CEO for Rail & Utilities, when he welcomed guests from the rail industry and academia to the company's Rail Innovation Centre on June 28.
The 450 m2 facility at Balfour Beatty's Raynesway site in Derby has been established to develop the company's 'predict & prevent' infrastructure maintenance technologies. It undertakes R&D and testing to 'fill the gap between academic research and practical applications', according to Neil Andrew, General Manager, Engineering & Technology. 'It's about realising the vision of the people on the ground', he said.
The Derby site works with the company's York and Matlock offices, which collectively employ more than 150 specialists in systems engineering, computer science, robotics, data analytics, electronics and electrical & mechanical engineering. Balfour Beatty expects to initially employ four graduates, five apprentices and three trainees at the Derby site, and is working with universities to attract people from outside traditional railway disciplines, such as graduates with an understanding of the possibilities of machine learning.
'Digital technologies are rapidly changing the rail industry, bringing new efficiencies and presenting new opportunities', explained Bullock. 'Rail is a fantastic industry, you can stay in it for life', he felt, while expressing concern that the sector is 'not good' at promoting the careers on offer.
Boots off the ballast
A particular focus for the Derby site is on developing monitoring, surveying and data technology to reduce the need for people to be out on the railway. This reduces the need for disruptive possessions, and increases safety as staff can view assets from an office rather than out on the track. It can also reduce human error.
On test at the Rail Innovation Centre was one of the overhead line measuring units which will be installed on the roofs of three Bombardier Aventra EMUs for London's Elizabeth Line. This will allow monitoring to be undertaken by trains in passenger service, removing the need for dedicated measuring trains which inevitably run less frequently.
A test rig at the centre simulates the harsh mechanical and electrical environment which will be experienced by 20 sets of bogie-mounted rail condition monitoring equipment which Balfour Beatty is supplying for installation on inter-city trainsets that Hitachi is building for Great Western Railway, LNER and TransPennine Express.
The OmniCapture camera for gathering data on infrastructure assets be permanently installed on a vehicle, or supplied in a case which can be mounted or removed in around 60 min. London Underground has used OmniCapture with nine Bombardier S-Stock metro trains, instead of using two dedicated monitoring trains, and during July the camera will be deployed on a Tyne & Wear Metro trainset for the first time.
Data from the cameras is processed using OmniSurveyor which produces a detailed 3D model of infrastructure assets as they are in reality. This is particularly useful for tasks such as signalling renewals, with Network Rail staff previously visiting each signal an average of five times when planning works.
Currently under development are sensors which will provide continuous condition monitoring at 25 level crossings on the East Coast Main Line. These are intended to provide early warning of developing problems which might otherwise go unnoticed until scheduled inspections.
A new tool is GaugeBuilder, which combines infrastructure, rolling stock and vehicle dynamics data to produce a model of actual rather than theoretical clearances. Users can see what the constraints are, allowing the cost of changes to be assessed – for example, it might turn out that relatively cheap modifications to a platform edge could be funded by an operator to permit the use of vehicles which might otherwise been deemed unsuitable. GaugeBuilder can also be used to improve passenger safety at the platform-train interface, calculating the best place for a train to stop on a curved platform to minimise the risk of falls.
From 'find & fix' to 'predict & prevent'
Balfour Beatty is keen to support Network Rail's vision of a 'digital railway'. Andrew described this strategy as a 'world class', saying 'we have been around the world, and met people who are in awe of what Network Rail is doing'.
A key part of evolving infrastructure and rolling stock maintenance strategies from 'find & fix' to 'predict & prevent' is making data from monitoring systems available in a way which facilitates decision-making. Balfour Beatty's DataMap uses information about the current state of an asset to make predictions, allowing managers to see the financial impacts of repair, replacement or deferring work.
A real-time data visualisation platform has been developed for the Singapore metro which provides an overview of the network and highlights which assets need attention to support prioritisation.
'Data on demand is becoming a reality, and this will only accelerate in the next five years', said Andrew. 'We now need to convert data to usable information.'
Shared benefits
The growth of big data presents the challenge of ensuring that information is exploited to the full; the benefits of remote monitoring are reduced if it is seen as an addition to, rather than instead of, manual inspection.
There are also questions about how the benefits are shared. James Brown, Data & Performance Engineer at leasing company Angel Trains, told Railway Gazette that operators who were installing infrastructure monitoring equipment on their trains would expect to share any financial benefits of lower maintenance costs.
Brown said there could be benefits from developing an industry-wide agreement on open data. This could address concerns about the ownership of data when franchises end, and the risk of operators becoming locked in to a particular supplier's data collection or processing systems.

I'm so excited to post today that CARDS magazine named me Designer of the Month in its current issue, February 2013, on stands now.
The magazine chooses 12 designers a year for this designation. I am not sure how I slipped into the mix but I admit: I grinned ear to ear when I found out. CARDS magazine published an interview with me and featured five of my cards. Four cards were new for the magazine and one was a favorite of mine that I made with Little Yellow Bicycle. Unfortunately, I can't show the cards until March 1 due to my contract.
But I can show a scan of the article.
And I can show you two of my cards that were published in the January issue of CARDS.
This one was for the ribbon challenge. I used my very favorite ribbon for this one: May Arts chevron twill. I have it in every color.
This card I made for an assignment with My Creative Scrapbook, using a kit that featured this cute collection from Echo Park Paper.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll be back Tuesday with a new post. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Here Is A Simple-to-Operate Online Business That Puts An Extra N200k-N300k Into Your Bank Account in Just 30 Days?"
My name is Joe Oguntola and over the past 2 years, I have been making extra money selling physical health products online.
As a matter of fact, I have sold and delivered thousands of physical products to hundreds of customers without having to know or meet them in person. Yet, I get paid into my Nigeria bank account.
And guess what? There are hundreds of products I have sold that I have never seen with my eyes, except their pictures. This is because the whole process, from ordering to delivery is purely automated.
The beautiful part is that I do not have a single employee to help me run this simple business. It sounds crazy but it works and I love it.
I paid for an online advert to be run for one of my products on a popular Nigerian blog. I only realized that the ad has been published when I started getting series of calls from different clients who wanted the products asap.
I did not tell you that my retail profit on a single product was over 12k.
In fact, as I write this, several packs of that product and others have been sold by my numerous team members and I, and with very juicy profits.
The retail profits we make from the sales of our products is just a tip of an iceberg, compared to the monthly commission paid by the company. This is where the real meat is.
Make Money From Selling Physical Products Online?
Are you ready to make more money so that you can live more comfortably?
Are you ready to make more money so that you no longer have to worry about how to take better care of your family?
Are you ready to make more money so that you can have enough capital to create more businesses that you want?
Are you ready to stop relying on a monthly pay cheque that is almost never enough?
Are you ready to stop depending on other people and become someone that others look up to for support?
Are you ready to start a new business that is guaranteed business of earning you your first N150k to N500k without necessarily leaving your current job?
If your answer is YES, then I want to introduce you to the amazing online course that I created that will TURN you into a master of creating and making continuous cash from selling physical health products from home, using the internet.
How much you'll eventually earn solely depends on you.
If you would like to join the few people who are ready to master the OPPM cash system, then this is your opportunity to do so.
This is going to be an in-depth training that is going to be delivered to you online in form of PDFs and videos.
There will also be a dedicated Facebook Group and Whatsapp Group where you can post questions and get answers to them from me and other members of my team.
I know you still have questions at the back of your mind as regards this course so here are my answers to some of the frequently asked questions about this course.
Q1. What is this OPPM All About?
Basically, it involves selling health and beauty products online. Perhaps you are already scared because I mentioned "selling." I will be frank with you here.
There are tens of thousands of methods to make money. But there is a foundational truth you need to understand: All the methods require the ability to sell for them to be successful.
See, people who succeed at any business either know how to sell or they hire someone who knows how to bring in sales and customers.
Once you master the art of selling, you can use it in any industry. And in any country.
Q2. Where Do I Get Health Products to Market?
After a thorough and careful research, we selected a reputable US based company to partner with. They have offices evertwhere around the world, including Nigeria.
This is a multi-billion dollar, life-changing company that manufactures and sells hundreds of wellness and beauty products that are unsurpassed in quality.
Q3. Do I Have to Hawk or Run After Customers?
Not at all. In fact, with our online selling system, you never will. This company operates based on the Network Marketing Model, but with a mind-blowing difference.
With this system, you don't talk to anyone about your business. In fact, you don't look for customers, they look for you instead.
You don't disturb relatives or colleagues at work about your business.
Selling of these physical products and recruiting are done purely online.
In fact, you don't have to visit the office to order for products. It is done online. And, you don't even do delivery yourself. FedEx courier and some other logistic companies handle that.
Can you now see why it's possible to sell even without seeing the customer or the product?
Q4. How Soon Can I Start Getting Results?
I will admit that when you are new to something, you need some time to get good at it before you can start to expect great results.
If you are completely new to selling and making money online, you will definitely need some time to take off, but the important thing that will get you results here is TAKING ACTION.
If you don't, that means you are not doing anything or you are doing something wrong. And I will be there to guide you.
Q5. How And Where Will I Be Getting My Training?
You will receive your training through email, and via our dedicated WhatsApp group. The training will be presented in PDF and video format.
If you live in or around Lagos or Benin City, live trainings are also held in these locations.
Q6. How Am I Sure This Is Not a Scam?
Most of the people who ask this question definitely do not know what a scam looks like. This is not a scam but if it resembles one to you, then that mean it is clearly not for you.
If you have seen all the proofs on this page and this still looks like a scam to you, then you should leave this page immediately. Period!
Joseph is a great leader. I have watched him grow business from scratch to where it is now.
He will personally ensure that you succeed, giving you all the help, assistance and moral support you need to be as successful as they are.
Joseph has grown a wonderful team, simply because he the most powerful online selling system which helps him sell products like hot cakes.
Learning from him will give you the privileged opportunity to use the same system to fast track your own success in few weeks.
So, How Much Does It Cost to Have Full Access to The Online Physical Products Marketing Course?
There are a lot of jobless graduates out there right now.
Some of them studied courses like...French, Linguistics, MicroBiology, Banking and Finance, Computer Science, Botany and EVEN Medicine!
Or what about the various professional courses that people pay as high as N400,000 to enroll for and they are never taught anything about making money for themselves?
I am just making these references so that you can have a good idea of what you are getting here. You are getting a course that will show you how you can make good money yourself online without any employee or some huge capital.
So, if you say N200,000, we both know that it is worth far more than that.
But you won't be paying N200,000.
You won't even be paying N50,000 as well.
You won't even be paying N20,000...at least for now.
But I have a BIG SURPRISE PACKAGE for you and the next few persons to see this?
You will have the entire course, including all the videos for just N5999 but you must be ready to give an honest review of the course.
The actual plan was to make it free for the first 50 fast action takers in exchange for their feedback.
Therefore, I have fixed a measly N5,999 so that just anyone anywhere will not blame poverty or recession for being unable to afford it.
This will be only for the first 50 action takers. After that time out, the package will be sold for N10,000, and more.
What will you do? Get it almost free now, or delay to get it for N10,000?
Whatever you do, I hope you make the right decisions because that is what matters the most.
If you decide to put this aside and not start now, you should be very sure that by the time you come back, the price has gone up.
The subject of the email should be "Paid For OPPM Report".
As soon as your payment is confirmed from the bank, your pack will be processed for delivery immediately.
You have two choices right before you now. The first is to take action now and start waiting for the result.
The second is to leave. The choice is yours.
This is your Online Physical Products Sales Coach.
