Skyway Life
2011-04-04 | David Levinson
VitaMn article: Take the skyway: A downtown dweller spends 14 days in the skyway system – and survives. This is how I optimistically imagined the future when I was young. The city is a superstructure, and just as rail connects larger areas, skyways do so for local areas. The more internally connected everything is, (i.e. can I avoid going outside) the closer it seems.
AIA has a Skyway Videos Contest 24 short videos about the Minneapolis Skyway System. Just don't call them honky tubes.

Parking in Motion
CNET has an article of interest about a new mobile app: Tiny start-up tackles big driving hassle: Parking
"[Parking in Motion], in its early stages now, is mostly a directory of parking lots and garages. Like GasBag, a database of gas stations and the prices they charge, Parking In Motion shows you how much you're going to pay for parking at various lots. Users can update the data if it's inaccurate. Great feature: the app has arrows to show where garage entrances are.
Ultimately, the app will do much more, according to co-founder Sam Friedman. First of all, it will show which lots or garages are full. This information can't come from users–it'd be too late to be useful. Parking In Motion is instead working with garage operators to collect this data on a broader scale. But first it might have to help operators actually get that data themselves.
Tighter integration with parking structure operators will eventually allow drivers to reserve spots and to pre-pay for them–possibly with a discount. This is where Parking In Motion will make its money, taking a percentage of those transactions.
The app will also, eventually, offer advice on street parking. It won't be able to direct you to a specific spot, unfortunately. Even though many cities are installing smart parking meters, the data collection is too slow to direct drivers to open spaces. Rather, Parking In Motion will collect data from users and meters and tell them which streets or areas are most likely to have open spots, and how long it will likely take to find them.
Down the line even further, Friedman has this vision: "Five years from now, you'll be able to get in your car, find parking on the street, and pay for it from within your car. And then if you're in a meeting and it's running over, you'll be able to re-up your meter from the conference table."
The company's flagship cities are Philadelphia and Santa Monica, Calif., where it has reservations and street parking data coming online. But it has garage data in about 300 cities, and the iPhone app is free and available in the App Store today."
Mischief in Minnesota: Northstar and Strategic Misrepresentation
2011-04-04 2019-03-14 | David Levinson
When Northstar Commuter Rail line was just a glint in the eyes of exurban Republicans, they distributed this promotional material (on the right (dated March 5, 2003 in my files)).
Ridership has not come close to promised. From Finance and Commerce a few months ago:
"Ridership on the Northstar commuter rail line will be about 20 percent less than forecast in its first year of operation, prompting one member of the Metropolitan Council to question whether the $317 million project was worth it.
Officials had projected 897,000 riders total for the Northstar in 2010; after nine months – including the Twins' season – it now looks like the annual ridership figure will be 715,000.
As a result of the lower numbers, Met Council board members voted unanimously Wednesday to reject fare increases that for more than a year had been set to go into effect Nov. 15.
"Do we ever unravel a transit project that is not successful enough to sustain itself?" asked District 2 Met Councilmember Tony Pistilli.
"I'm not saying we should unravel Northstar yet, but do we have a definition of 'failure'?" Pistilli, in life outside the Met Council, is chief appraiser and vice president of consumer banking risk management for U.S. Bank.
District 3 Met Councilmember Robert McFarlin, head of the transportation committee – and former interim head of MnDOT – said that "unraveling would be extremely difficult. I believe it's incumbent upon us that we give what's in place the best possible shot to succeed."
But McFarlin added that Pistilli's question "is an excellent one, and [the lower Northstar ridership numbers] should give us pause looking at other projects that are on the drawing board."
The Northstar line debuted Nov. 16, 2009, connecting downtown Minneapolis with Big Lake, about 40 miles to the northwest. It was supposed to go the full 80 miles to St. Cloud, a train trip many are hoping becomes a reality soon.
Met Council Chair Peter Bell conceded the figures are "disappointing" and added that while he's not been involved in discussions about how to "decommission" transit lines, the Met Council does look carefully at bus routes and how they're performing "and occasionally we eliminate one.""
Anton, Lubov, & Associates (dated April 17, 2003) conducted an economic analysis "Northstar-economics (PDF)" of the line, and in contrast with the optimistic 1998 Parsons-Brickerhoff B/C ratio of 0.26, or the very optimistic 2002 MnDOT B/C ratio of 0.84, they came up with an incredibly optimistic B/C ratio of 1.15 for the line.
A Political Economy of Access: Infrastructure, Networks, Cities, and Institutions by David M. Levinson and David A. King
Cudos to Parsons-Brinckerhoff.
Proponents will argue that the full line (to Metropolitan St. Cloud) was not built, which is of course true. However that unbuilt segment was expected to be a worse performer than what was actually built.
If current ridership holds (979 persons using the line (round trip) per day (on a 365 day year)), this amounts to a $275,664 capital cost per person. On a per day basis: $61 round trip capital cost and $28 round trip operating cost per day. Or $89 per person.
Fares are up to $7 one-way, or $14 round-trip. Assuming most trips pay the full fare (which they don't), the daily subsidy is about $75 per day per rider.
I have complained about this before.
Decommissioning should be an option. Not every scheme works. Unlike the Pope, the Metropolitan Council and State Government is not infallible, and need not defend every decision of every predecessor. Every continued dollar supporting the long-distance commutes of a few exurbanites is a dollar that cannot be spent on something more important.
If this kind of mischief were unique to Minnesota, we could pass it off as a mistake. However it is quite common in the transit promoters' world. 'Strategic misrepresentation' as it is politely called has been well-documented by Kain, Pickrell, Richmond, and Flyvbjerg among others.
Minnesota Standards Should Change from 12 Foot Lane Widths to 11 Foot Lane Widths – Mike on Traffic
Mike on Traffic argues:
Minnesota Standards Should Change from 12 Foot Lane Widths to 11 Foot Lane Widths : ""
"Narrowing roads results in shorter crossing distances and reduced traffic speeds. This improves the environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The research also points to 11 foot lanes being as safe as 12 foot lanes (according to NCHRP Project 17-26). A big reason is that motorists drive more cautiously in narrower lanes. Narrower lanes would have reduced the numerous speeding complaints I received from residents during my tenure in Maple Grove.
A quick check of MnDOT's website shows there are 290,588 lane miles in Minnesota. Assuming we trimmed one foot off each lane, that would equate to 35,222 acres (55 square miles) of less pavement (assuming all of the roads are paved). To put that in perspective, the city of Minneapolis is 58.4 square miles including the lakes and rivers.
Imagine the economic and environmental benefits of shifting the standard by one foot. Why would this decision take 2+ years of study? The rules should be re-written to make 10 foot lanes allowable in urban settings, 11 foot lanes the standard across the state, and 12 foot lanes allowed if justified through a variance process."
Buses: The Quickening
Mulad has some useful suggestions for the impending cutbacks to Metro Transit
'Cuz you're the one I just don't need:
"Crises do bring an opportunity to examine issues in greater detail. I'm pretty sure that Metro Transit will be forced to make some cuts of some sort. I hope they can avoid trimming urban routes and weekend service (which is already pretty minimal).
The first thing Metro Transit should cut is the number of bus stops to optimize spacing. It seems that the average distance between stops is about 600 feet in Minneapolis—only one block for north-south routes, and two blocks for east-west routes (generally the opposite is true in Saint Paul). That's basically too close together for buses to even get up to the speed limit before stopping. Metro Transit should cut between 1/3 and 1/2 of its stops, increasing the average spacing to every 2 long blocks or every 4 short blocks.
This will frustrate a lot of people, and even I get a bit concerned about the idea, but this would speed things up and make schedules more consistent, hopefully reducing the need for timed stops, thereby increasing speed further. The exercise would also probably free up some transit shelters and benches, which could be relocated to the many fairly busy stops that are currently just slabs of concrete and which would attract more riders if there was better cover.
Secondly, the Go-To Card and other transit passes need to be promoted even more heavily, and it needs to be easier to buy and fill up those passes. I see people using the Go-To Card and the U-Pass a lot on my regular route, the 3, but that's partly due to a heavy student population. When I travel out of the tech-savvy student zone, the cards become a lot less common.
The cards are a great way to get around because they get rid of the need to keep getting dollars and coins (which are harder to get these days now that people use credit cards more often). They also speed up boarding and reduce the need for passengers to fumble for change.
Consider reducing the amount of time that transfers are valid down from the current 2.5 hours. That must cover almost all one-way trips on the system, plus many two-way trips. Dropping it to 1.5 hours could continue to cover most one-way trips yet stealthily increase the revenue generated by two-way errand traffic. However, I worry it would hurt the most transit-dependent riders the worst.
Area transit agencies should engage local neighborhoods and businesses to offload the costs of constructing and maintaining bus shelters—and hopefully work on maintaining local sidewalks as well as constructing them where they currently don't exist. Neighborhoods throughout the core cities and inner suburbs need to get competitive about promoting themselves through their local infrastructure in order to combat flight to the exurbs.
Transit agencies should also work with the cities and counties they serve to see if roads can be cheaply reconfigured to run buses faster—hopefully also finding room for bicyclists in the process."

DALLAS/FORT WORTH – The Tony-nominated musical WAITRESS has cast four young North Texas actresses in the role of "Lulu" for the show's Dallas and Fort Worth engagements.
Eliza Chabot, 4, of Farmers Branch, and Quinn Johnson, 4, of Grapevine will alternate the role of Lulu in Dallas. June Whitley, 5, of Arlington, and Quinn Copeland, 6, of Fort Worth will alternate the role of Lulu in Fort Worth.
WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie-baker who works at a local diner and is stuck in a loveless marriage. Her salvation comes in the form of her daughter, Lulu.
The girls were chosen via an audition process held at the Music Hall at Fair Park on February 20, 2018. Over 40 girls participated in the auditions, which were presided over by members of the WAITRESS company. The character of Lulu is cast locally in each tour market and four girls were chosen to share the role, two for Dallas, two for Fort Worth. Each girl chosen will perform in four performances per week during the two-week engagement in Dallas and one-week engagement in Fort Worth.
"I'm excited about it all," says 5-year-old June Whitely who attends Pre-K at Trinity Presbyterian Preschool. Her acting experience includes one semester of classes at Casa Manana, and she studies tap and ballet at Miss Persis Studio of Dance/Performing Arts in Arlington.
Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, WAITRESS is an irresistible new hit featuring original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy-nominee Sara Bareilles ("Brave," "Love Song"), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson ("I Am Sam") and direction by Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus (Finding Neverland, Pippin, Hair).
Inspired by Adrienne Shelley's beloved film, the musical tells the story of Jenna. A waitress and expert pie-maker, Jenna dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town's new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness. But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.
Tickets for the Dallas engagement, starting at $20 (pricing subject to change), are now on sale at DallasSummerMusicals.org or by phone at 1-800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Music Hall at Fair Park box office Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Orders for groups of ten (10) or more may be placed by calling (214) 426-4768 or emailing Groups@DallasSummerMusicals.org.
Tickets for the Fort Worth engagement start at $44 (pricing subject to change) and are now on sale. To charge tickets by phone, call 817-212-4280 in Fort Worth; 1-877-212-4280 (toll free) outside Fort Worth; or order online at www.basshall.com. Tickets are also available at the Bass Performance Hall ticket office at 525 Commerce Street. For group sales, call 817-212-4248.

La  fu combattuta nel 1600 in Giappone come parte della campagna di Sekigahara.

Allo scoppio delle ostilità e della conseguente divisione del Giappone, Maeda Toshinaga, il grande daimyō della regione di Hokuriku si schierò con Tokugawa Ieyasu, ma diversi piccoli daimyō della provincia di Echizen e Kaga si schierarono con Ishida Mitsunari sotto la persuasione di Ōtani Yoshitsugu.

Alla fine di agosto Toshinaga, assieme al fratello Maeda Toshimasa, guidò un grande esercito partendo dal castello di Kanazawa dirigendosi a sud verso il confine con la provincia di Echizen. Evitò il castello di Komatsu protetto da Niwa Nagashige, il quale si era schierato con Mitsunari, poiché lo ritenne inespugnabile proseguendo successivamente verso il castello di Daishoji all'inizio di agosto. Yamaguchi Munenaga, venuto a sapere dell'imminente scontrò, fortificò il castello e chiese aiuto a Nagashige e ad Aoki Kazuno del castello di Kitanosho di Echizen, entrambi schierati con Mitsunari. Ma i rinforzi non arrivarono in tempo, Munenega combatté coraggiosamente contro un nemico numericamente travolgente ed alla fine commise seppuku assieme al figlio il 10 settembre.

A questo punto Toshinaga, preoccupato dalle voci che volevano Ōtani Yoshitsugu in arrivo con truppe di rinforzo via mare, e da Uesugi Kagekatsu che aveva preso il controllo della provincia di Echigo, diresse i propri uomini in ritirata verso la propria roccaforte di Kanazawa. I soldati di Niwa Nagashige ne approfittarono ed il 16 settembre piombarono sul retro delle forze in ritirata di Toshinaga presso Asai-nawate. Dopo l'inizio dello scontro, nel quale il contigente Niwa ebbe la meglio, arrivarono dei rinforzi Maeda che riuscirono a bloccare gli aggressori e a far ripiegare l'armata fino a Kanazawa.

Successivamente Toshimasa si schierò con Mitsunari poiché quest'ultimo teneva prigionieri ad Osaka i suoi familiari.

Toshinaga non riuscì a partecipare alla battaglia di Sekigahara, ma contenne con successo sia Uesugi Kagekatsu che il fratello Toshimasa.

Watch TOKiMONSTA's "Put It Down" Video With Anderson .Paak
A new Fovere visual.
By Elias Leight
"Put It Down" gets a lot of mileage from dynamics, with big shifts from soft verses to a steamrolling hook. TOKiMONSTA unveiled the video for the single today, and Anderson .Paak plays a prominent role—dressed in a hooded black leather coat, he looks like he's auditioning for one of The Matrix movies. Mike Dempsey and Rami Hachache served as directors.
"Put It Down" will appear on Fovere. Last year, TOKiMONSTA told The FADER that the album "represents my life at the time it was being made—a point where a lot of transitions were being made and I had the biggest personal growth spurt. Fovere essentially means, 'to cherish' in Latin. To cherish everything—good, bad, light and dark."

Q: Using anonymus IEnumerable type This may be a simple question but I can not figure this out...
If I have this code,
IEnumerable myVar = (from i in MyList
          select new
          {
               NewText= i.Text,
               NewValue = i.Value
          });

How can I user the values in myVar (without changing the type(IEnumerable))?
like
foreach (var i in myVar)
{
    //i....
}

EDIT :
My actual code returns IEnumerable
public IEnumerable GetData(IEnumerable<int> priceDetailId)
{
   ....

   return (from i in MyList
              select new
              {
                   NewText= i.Text,
                   NewValue = i.Value
              });
}

Then I need to use the result in  a loop..
var result  = GetData();
foreach (var i in result)
{
    //i....
}

A: You can't, because the enumerator of IEnumerable returns instances of type object. You would first need to cast those to the actual type. Since the type is anonymous, you can't do that.
Change the type of myVar to var to make it work:
var myVar = from i in MyList
            select new
            {
                NewText= i.Text,
                NewValue = i.Value
            };

However, the return in your - currently illegal - code, indicates that the LINQ query actually is inside another method that returns the result and that's the reason why you want to keep IEnumerable.
In that case, using an anonymous type is not the correct approach, because it leads to the exact problem you are having.
You should create a simple class and use that in your query and change your return type to IEnumerable<YourClass>
Finally, if you insist on using an anonymous type and IEnumerable, you can make use of the dynamic keyword inside your foreach loop:
foreach(dynamic i in myVar)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i.NewValue);
}

However, you no longer will have compile time safety, so if you have a typo when accessing the dynamic variable you will get a runtime exception instead of a compiler error.
Example: Console.WriteLine(i.Foo); would compile although there is no Foo property in the anonymous type. Upon execution however, it would throw a RuntimeBinderException.

A: Use var:
var myVar = from i in MyList
            select new
            {
                Text= i.Text,
                Value = i.Value
            });

foreach(var x in myVar)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Text={0} Value={1}", x.Text, x.Value);
}

The non-generic IEnumerable is not strongly typed in the foreach.
But since yout want to return the anonymous type from a method, that doesn't work. Return an IEnumerable<CustomClass> instead, e.g.:
public class Item
{
    public Item(string text, string value)
    {
        Name = name;
        Value = value;
    }

    public String Name { get; set; }
    public String Value{ get; set; }
}

Now you can create an IEnumerable<Item> and return that instead:
IEnumerable<Item> allItems = MyList.Select(i => new Item(i.Text, i.Value))
                                   .ToList();
return allItems;

Re-Winder-Label-Dispensers Label Re-Winders and Un-Winders can rewind and unwind thermal transfer and other types of labels efficiently and easily for use on semi-automatic and automated machinery. Able to be placed in front of the label printer, these units offer consistent winding of the rolls without the worries of web breaks.
The Tach-It Model SH455 Economical Label Re-Winder uses a slip clutch to ensure consistent winding of thermal transfer, fan fold and computer generated labels without concerns about breaking of the liner. Easy to use and requiring no tools or special operator training, the SH455 has a small table top design, heavy duty motor and construction and can reach speeds up to 120 rpm.
Label Size Maximum - 4.25"
The Tach-It Model SH450 Label Re-Winder / Un-Winder is perfect for rolling fan fold or computer printed and generated labels. Easy to operate with no tools required for label changeovers, the variable speed motor can reach speeds up to 150 rpms. Our Tach-It Model SH450 is equipped with a dancer arm which eliminates liner breakage. If tension forms on the web of the labels as they are winding or unwinding, the motor stops. Once slack is present again, the motor starts automatically. This results in consistently wound and unwound rolls with no liner breakage. Extra large flanges for large roll diameters up to 11", the ability to wind or unwind onto 1 ¾" or 3" cores, works with labels up to 5" wide, technologically advanced components, toggle selection for motor direction and heavy duty construction are all advantages of this machine.

4.0 out of 5 starsComfortable product.
Product worth it's price. Don't expect to get rs.1000 /- worth for Rs.370/-. Discount given on inflated price.
There's nothing better than a smile on mother's face. Very comfortable to wear and good for arthritis patients. Price is fair enough for the quality of the product.
5.0 out of 5 starsNice product. Genuine product picture and description.
Nice product. Looks exactly shown in the image and comfortable wear. The thumb strap gives nice grip to the foot.
Had to get a replacement since original was smaller than standard size. The replacement that was sent seems to be a somewhat used pair, both inner and bottom sole are dirty. Also not at all comfortable when compared to the higher priced Scholl or Hush Puppies. Better pay more if you want real comfort & painless walking!
Very pathetic, definately not recommended for the patients who are looking for some soft heels to recover from heel pain.
This is a very heavy sandal and definately adds pain if a normal person wears too. So a definate no no for this product.
The product is good, nice and comfortable with a good design. The only thing is that I found it small as per the standard size I usually wear. I wear metro/mochi/Inc 5 size 40. But with this footwear I found size 40 small. I think size 42 would be fine for me.


Day 2 – So now we get the little bugger ready for some paint!
Day 3 – I can't help it, start again/continue starting again/start again/then start starting again again… All with new paint each time.
Day 5 – Lol I put "Day 5" but its obviously been more than 5 days, this is just… day 5 of actually doing something on the model. Still started adding paint and really trying hard to not give a S**T about how it looks as to learn more.

Three Award-Winning Picture Books For Children On Gardening & Nature
Butterflies Belong Here
Mae the Mayfly
One Little Lot
The American Horticultural Society (AHS) and the Junior Master Gardener Program (JMG program) in 2005 created national awards for excellence in children's literature known as the Growing Good Kids Book Awards. For the 16th year in a row, they have honored the best new children's books about gardening, nature and the environment.
The awards for 2021 were announced at the 29th annual National Children & Youth Garden Symposium held virtually again this year due to the pandemic. An event ordinarily held in a different city each year, the annual symposium brings together educators, landscape architects and designers, staff at botanic gardens, non-profits, and others from around the country who are working to engage children with gardens and the natural world that surrounds them.
Since the first symposium was held nearly 30 years ago, thousands of teachers have participated and have, in turn, gone on to educate over a million children, with the goal of cultivating tomorrow's gardeners. And thousands of gardens and landscapes designed specifically for children and the way they play, explore, and interact have been created all over the world.
This year, there were three winners of the Growing Good Kids Book Awards. The three books recognized as "engaging, inspiring works of plant, garden and ecology-themed children's literature" are:
(1) Butterflies Belong Here, A Story of One Idea, Thirty Kids, and a World of Butterflies by Deborah Hopkinson, illustrated by Meilo So (Chronicle Books LLC, San Francisco, CA, 2020);
(2) One Little Lot, The 1-2-3s of an Urban Garden, by Diane C. Mullen, illustrated by Oriol Vidal (Charlesbridge, Watertown, MA, 2020); and
(3) Mae the Mayfly by Denise Brennan-Nelson, illustrated by Florence Weiser (Sleeping Bear Press, Ann Arbor, MI, 2020).
The 2021 winning authors and illustrators, (i) Deborah Hopkinson, who lives with her family near Portland, Oregon, (ii) illustrator Meilo So, who lives with her family in the Shetland Isles, (iii) Diane C. Mullen, who lives in the LynLake neighborhood of Minneapolis where she works alongside her fellow gardeners in their Soo Line Community Garden, (iv) illustrator Oriol Vidal who lives in Barcelona, Spain where he and his family tend their own little urban garden, (v) Denise Brennan-Nelson who lives with her husband in Howell, Michigan and (vi) illustrator Florence Weiser currently based in Belgium, and who lives and works surrounded by nature, join an impressive list of winners of the Growing Good Kids Book Awards.
A listing of all the winners over the past 16 years is viewable on-line.

When you can't decide between cereal or toast, now there's Tiny Toast.
If you've ever felt that the cereal aisle doesn't offer enough choices, General Mills is here to ease your breakfast malaise with the release of its first all-new cereal in 15 years. The cereal maker, responsible for childhood favorites such as Trix and Lucky Charms, has created Tiny Toast to fill your next morning bowl.
Apparently the drop in cereal sales over the past decade didn't discourage General Mills from investing in a new product, but rather encouraged them to shift their focus from colorful marshmallows -- the best part of any '90s breakfast -- to using real fruit to flavor their Strawberry and Blueberry Tiny Toast. In an effort to appeal to the more health-conscious consumer, the new cereal is also free of high fructose corn syrup and contains no artificial flavors or colors. But whether or not it will lure the granola munchers is still unknown.
The Tiny Toast website boasts that one serving of the cereal contains only 9 grams of sugar. To put that into perspective, it's the same amount as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and one gram less than Lucky Charms (but without any of the beloved marshmallows). Chew on that.
One thing we can say with certainty, this new cereal is hoping to catch the attention of millennials -- the demographic cereal companies have the hardest time attracting. How? With GIFs, naturally.
When your mom is a strawberry and your dad is a toast.
Yes, they created that as part of their Tiny Toast campaign on Tumblr.
Would you eat Tiny Toast as part of your healthy breakfast? Let us know in the comments below.

Q: How do I replace another linux distro (eOS) with Ubuntu? I have Elementary OS luna (12.04 based distro) distro installed on my dual boot (Win 8.1) laptop. I booted up a live USB of 14.04 but unfortunately I don't get a straight up simple option of replacing the eOS set up completely. So I guess I have to manually install in under something else install option.
How do I go about this as I don't want to mess anything up.

A: You are right with 'Something else' option. But you will have to boot the live DVD or the USB version with Ubuntu 14.04, and after you are in the live session you can setup your internet connection and start the installer from the live desktop.
Once you are facing the window presenting those options for installing Ubuntu, you choose the last one Something else and press Next to get to your hard disk partition table. You need to format to Linux ext4 that partition where you previously installed Luna OS, and preserve the Linux swap area assuming it is still present in your list.
Or you can delete the partition where you installed Linux before and create a new partition formatted as Linux ext4 choosing the foreslash / as mount or startup point for this partition. You also need a small linux swap partition (1-2 GB) but I suppose it is still there from your previous installation.
And when you are done, you can select your newly formatted linux ext4 partition and press NEXT to begin installing Ubuntu. During installation you will have to provide the installer with your desired keyboard layout, your location (for setting up time and date) and some username and password. Fill in every requirement with patience so you won't have to start the installer again.

Greyhound – Marketing Recap
How Apple is selling the latest WWII film starring Tom Hanks
As is the case with many recent films, we should have marked the theatrical release of Greyhound a while ago. As it stands, though, the movie is coming to VOD this week via Apple TV+.
Based on "The Good Shepherd" by C S Forester, Tom Hanks stars as Captain Krause, a relatively inexperienced naval commander who is assigned to an Allied convoy crossing the Atlantic in the early days of World War II. Krause, still unsure in his post, faces a number of challenges, from the elements to the crew to the phalanx of Nazi submarines that stalk the convoy. Determined to keep his crew alive, Krause has to dig deep to balance all the problems in need of solving.
The campaign – first from Sony and then Apple – focuses on Hanks and his role as Krause, a no-nonsense commander in a no-nonsense situation. Reviews have been somewhat mixed so far, with the movie scoring 76 percent "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes at the moment.
The Posters
In March the first poster (by marketing agency Works Adv) came out, showing Krause looking to the side with a colorful sunset – as well as a billowing American flag – behind him. Flying through the sky are warplanes to help establish the military setting. Copy at the top reads "The only thing more dangerous than the front lines was getting there," hinting at how it's a story of troop transportation logistics we're in for.
That same text, and the same photo of Krause, is used on the second poster (by marketing agency Art Machine), also from March. But this time the conflict of the story is made a bit more explicit with the inclusion of images from a naval battle between submarines and destroyers. This fixes a key shortcoming of the first poster.
The same design was used on a new poster from June that ditches the copy but adds the Apple TV+ logo to signal the platform the movie will wind up being available on.
The Trailers
Krause is commanding a ship across the dangerous waters of the North Atlantic in 1942 as the trailer (12.5 million views on YouTube), released in March, opens. As part of a convoy of Allied ships, that means dodging U-boats and coming to the rescue of other ships. This is his first trip, but the choices he makes keep him and his crew alive from one moment to the next, even as others in the flotilla aren't as lucky. It's a tense story of survival being sold here, all told in colors that are just as saturated as the emotions are heightened.
Apple didn't manage any sort of website for the movie, just a product page that has some rudimentary information and plenty of information on how to try the streaming service. It looks like a Twitter account was setup, but likely just to post the trailer so it could be used as an ad on that network.
Almost as soon as the marketing campaign kicked off in March the studio announced the release date was being pushed back by a month, but the reasons for doing so were unclear. In May news broke that Sony had offloaded the movie to Apple TV+ with no theatrical release potential in sight because of the Covid-19 situation. Finally in mid-June an early-July Apple TV+ debut date was announced.
At the same time, ads on YouTube and elsewhere promoted its upcoming Apple TV+ availability, using elements of the key art along with the trailer.
Apple released a featurette just a few days ago that had Hanks and others talking about the film's story, the history behind it and more.
An interview with director Aaron Schneider allowed him to talk about how he approached making the film, especially working with Hanks, who also wrote the screenplay.
It's strange to see the release imminent and for there to have been so little press involvement from Hanks, who was reportedly extremely disappointed when the film shifted from theatrical to VOD release. He's usually been the biggest resource his film's campaigns can rely on, and while he's been out talking about Covid-19 testing and mask wearing, he doesn't seem to have talked much about this film.
Despite that, this is a decent campaign for what looks like a Very Serious Movie. But it remains puzzling why it was ever slated for a summer release when it seems more like an October or November title with its subject matter, tone and visual style. I'm not sure who the summer audience for this would have been, especially if things had gone as planned and Tenet had been sucking up all the Serious Summer Movie air from the room.
Also missing is any mention of the source book or context for the period that would help audiences get their heads around it. So while it's good, there's definite areas where it falls short in capturing people's attention.
Hanks and Schneider were interviewed here about their goal of authenticity in how the characters and situations were depicted on screen. Similar ground was also covered in an interview with costume designer Julie Weiss.
Another featurette with Hanks and others offered additional looks at the filming of the movie. Similar ground was covered when Hanks stopped by "The Late Show."

This weekend (June 15-17) the "Working with Big and User Generated Geographic Data" working retreat, aka SheepCamp will be taking place at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY.
We invite all locals to join us on Friday night (June 15) from 6 to 10 pm at the Bingham-Davis House, at the Gaines Center for the Humanities for a reception (food by Gumbo Ya Ya) and series of lightning talks. These talks will be short (an interactive) introductions (5 to 7 minutes) to some of current, exciting research on user generated geo-data (such as Flickr, Twitter) as well as some critical reflections on it. Talk titles include:
How Flickr data represents the U.S.-Mexico Border
Countermapping DigiPlace at the Vancouver Olympics
The promise and peril of gleaning "socially relevant" neighborhood boundaries from social media
Balloon Mapping
Mapping Zombies: A Guide for Digital Pre-apocalyptic Analysis and Post-apocalyptic Survival
User-generated political geographies
Mapping Experience and Emotion
Brothels, Strippers and the Gendered Democracy of OpenStreetMap
User-generated data and journalism
Given the unconference/camp structure there is NOT a formal set of events on Saturday and Sunday but the twenty five participants from around the country will be discussing a range of topics including:
What sources of user-generated, geocoded data are there? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Who is collecting/using it? (This will include an overview of the New Maps Twitter project at the University of Kentucky.)
What has been written on user-generated and VGI data? What are key questions? What are common problems?
Setting a research agenda and organizing a Symposium for the AAG meeting in Los Angeles next year.
Bringing user generated data into education
How to visualize VGI and social media
And a range of fun stuff such as MapAttack and Werewolf
Stay tuned for videos of the talks and posts on the discussion that emerges from the weekend.

25-Feb-2017 -- This is the first out of six reports reaching confluence points during a bicycle trip from Lisbon to Ciudad Real.
Friday after work I took a direct flight from Zurich to Lisbon arriving there at 9 PM with one hour delay. As usual, I had brought my bicycle with me, such that I could directly cycle out of the airport. For coincidence, my previous flight was to Sardinia where my trip began with the visit of 39°N 9°E, and this time 9°W at the same latitude.
I cycled northwards for about 10 km and spent the night in a simple bar-motel in Santa Iria (30 km south of the confluence point).
The next morning was extremely foggy along the Tagus (in Portuguese Tejo) River. My glasses constantly filmed over at the inner and outer side such that I had to stop several times to see the road in front of me again. But as I left the river valley by climbing the hill to the confluence point, I got above the clouds.
At 8:50 AM I reached the confluence, which is generally easy to reach. The only problem was to climb the short but steep grade from the road up to the flat plateau with a vineyard where the confluence is located. Although I had been within 20 m already, I cycled a farm track upwards up to a distance of 160 m, where the track had reached the same level as the field. Then it was a cakewalk to approach the confluence on foot. Only the last 10 m were a bit tricky when I had to find a way through high reeds.
The confluence is located just 10 m from the wall of the Quinta do Palhas. This is a fine place where events like weddings take place.
After the visit, I had to leave the nice and sunny site of the confluence and ride down into the sea of clouds again at River Tagus.
Vegetation: reeds, wine, grass, thorny blackberries.
The story continues at 39°N 8°W.

Opera Project Columbus kicks off the New Year with Champagne
Die Fledermaus opens at the Lincoln Theater Jan. 17 and 19
by Gillian Janicki
Set in 19th-century Vienna, Die Fledermaus tells the tale of a complicated and confusing plan for revenge. This plan leads to a rousing evening of deception and passion in Johann Strauss' most celebrated operetta. Love triangles, spirits and elaborate plots are uncorked at Prince Orlofsky's masked ball. By morning, all the guests have ended up at the city jail, where love is rekindled and all are dismissed, but only after a final chorus in honor of champagne!
Sopranos Dana Pundt, Megan Santora and Danielle Aldach, Tenor Pedro Barbosa, Baritones Robert Kerr and Thaddeus Bourne return to the Lincoln Theatre for grand performances of Die Fledermaus. Opera Project Columbus welcomes to the stage Tenor Chris Carr and Joshua Cook for his directorial debut. Recent Freddie Award winner, Elisabeth Harris, a Mezzo-Soprano from New Zealand, will reprise her award-winning role of Orlofsky. Award-winning NYC comedian Caliph Scott has his Columbus debut as Frosch.
This year OPC returns for its 9th season. Opera Project Columbus is a non-profit organization founded in 2011. The company is led by Alessandro Siciliani, Music Director, Dr. Eric Aho, Executive Director, and Karen Pfeifer, Orchestra Manager. Die Fledermaus is the second in the OPC series of Grand Operetta. The show will be performed in English and is considered the jewel of the golden age of operetta.
Performances are set for Friday, January 17, at 7:30 p.m, and Sunday, January 19, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15-$25 and can be purchased through the CAPA Box Office, Tessitura, and www.operaprojectcolumbus.com.

Report: Last Remaining Jews Expelled from Yemen by Houthis
MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP/Getty
Deborah Brand
The last three Jewish families in Yemen were deported by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, leaving only four elderly Jews from what was once a community that was several thousand-strong, the London-based Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported over the weekend.
The families, totaling 13 people, told Asharq Al-Awsat they were refusing to go to Israel and were awaiting to hear from the U.N. refugee agency receiving asylum. Their expulsion was the result of a deal to release Levi Salem Marhabi, a Jew whom the rebels captured about six years ago.
"They gave us a choice between staying in the midst of harassment and keeping Salem a prisoner, or leaving and having him released," one of the deported Jews told Asharq Al-Awsat. "History will remember us as the last of Yemeni Jews who were still clinging to their homeland until the last moment."
"We had rejected many temptations time and time again, and refused to leave our homeland, but today we are forced."
Marhabi was arrested by the Houthis for helping a Yemeni Jewish family move an ancient Torah scroll, said to be 800- years-old, out of the country. Despite a ruling by the Houthis own court that he was innocent and should be released, he was held as a bargaining chip, the newspaper reported.
Marhabi reportedly suffered several kinds of torture in his Sanaa prison cell, and was eventually left partially paralyzed after a stroke.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I'm having trouble focusing on work today. It's especially difficult after spending the weekend on the water south of Boston. It's amazing what a beautiful view and the smell of salt air can do for the soul. This is my favorite time of year. I can only dream of having a little bungalow on the water someday. I don't need a big house, just one near the ocean. I love this fresh, crisp bungalow featured in Architectural Digest. The white walls, sculptural furniture choices and limited color palette are beautiful, notice all the amazing rug choices! I love each and every one! Happy Summer!! Happy Tuesday! Good luck getting back to work.
I love this beach bungalow! I love the floors and the mix of black and white in them too! What a fabulous beach bungalow!
It is mind-blowing!!!!!!! Esp. the bed. I like white-black combination.
I've had this house in my inspiration folder...it's fabulous!
This is exactly where I want to spend my Summer - so quaint and charming. I could move right in!!
Im going to find it hard to focus on work today too now! Thanks for sharing these!
Love this! I just came across your blog...love it too!


Hi, my name is Ray. I live in Northeast Philadelphia. I came to Dr. Mogyoros to have my wisdom teeth pulled. The day of the surgery went well. It was a lot smoother than I expected. I was in and out. I didn't feel a thing, and I went home happily. I'm here today because I had my post-operative checkup, and I feel great! I just got a clean bill of health. The staff here is wonderful, and I'm doing excellent. If you live nearby — Fox Chase, Huntington Valley, Jenkintown, and Northeast Philadelphia, any of those areas — you have to come and see Dr. Mogyoros. He's an excellent doctor, and I'd recommend him to anyone.


Not a superfood in sight.
If you're confused about what's healthy and what's not, you're not alone.
As a dietitian, I am constantly bombarded with nutrition questions: "Is this healthy?", "Can I eat this?", "What milk do I choose?"… the list goes on and on.
But, trust me, nutrition doesn't have to be complicated.
I don't believe in blowing your life savings on expensive superfoods, spending hours in the kitchen making everything from scratch or doing your groceries only at specialty healthy food shops. These things just aren't necessary for good nutrition.
This one's a no brainer. Fruit and veg are brimming with gut-loving fibre, disease-fighting antioxidants and a range of vitamins and minerals that keep your body working it's best. Think: Vitamin C to help with plant-based iron absorption, folate which is key for mums-to-be and potassium for heart and muscle function, to name a few.
Stick to what's seasonal as it's usually the most economical (read: cheap!). It'll also help to ensure you get a variety of fruit and veg throughout the year – which is crucial as they each have their own unique nutritional properties.
Don't be afraid of the frozen section, either – frozen fruit and veg are just as nutritious as they're fresh counterparts (and are a little friendlier on the old bank account, too).
A rich source of calcium for strong bones and teeth, dairy is always on my shopping list.
I love to whip up a homemade smoothie with a glass of skim milk and a piece of fruit for a healthy sweet fix. Plain yoghurt is another go-to snack, but I also have it with breakfast or as the base of a healthy sauce, too. And I couldn't live without cheese (delicious, glorious cheese). A sprinkle of feta over a salad or the occasional slice of halloumi with a weekend breakfast is my fave.
And to get you up to speed, adults are recommended to stick to reduced-fat dairy (at least most of the time).
The humble egg is a nutrition powerhouse – and while it's a staple for gym junkies, it offers so much more than just protein.
Eggs are one of the richest dietary sources of Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin), which is key for maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin A, which supports eye health, is also found in eggs, as is Vitamin B12, which is key for blood and nervous system function. Iron, for oxygen transport, is another prime example. What's more, eggs provide heart-healthy fats – so unlike what your grandmother might have told you, eggs can actually be good for your ticker.
Plus, most of these nutrients are found in the yolk, so please don't throw it away!
Hummus and wholegrain crackers is atop my list of favourite healthy snacks.
The key ingredient is chickpeas, which I'm a big fan of. You see, legumes in general are a fantastic source of fibre to support a healthy gut, protein to help with muscle growth and repair, and slow-burning carbohydrates to power you through your day. They've also been associated with blood sugar and cholesterol control. What's more, diets high in legumes are linked with reduced risk of many diseases, such as diabetes and certain cancers.
Last but not least, you can't go past a cool glass of water to keep you hydrated – and making water for your drink of choice is one of the healthiest habits you can form, for a number of reasons.
Water has many vital roles in our bodies. Upholding the integrity of our cells, regulating our body temperature (via sweat) and even assisting digestion are just some examples.
Plus, water has zero calories, so it's a good option with your waistline in mind.
And it's free, so it can do your wallet a world of good, too.
And there you have it – my fridge staples without a superfood in sight. I told you it was simple.


It's still early for Christmas, but the flyers are already filled with sales.
I used AQMORE Satan, Rose, Winter and Alice for the thumb, middle and small fingers. The ring finger is just Satan and E-Nail Birthday gift My Wish. I think that I need a new striper for the lines, the old brush seems getting bad. I like the bow design with few green dots on my index finger. The green leaves are the failure attempts. They don't look like leaves at all.
The bottle is E-Nail My Wish. The texture is very different from other E-Nail polishes, it's quite sticky and heavy. I think that it can use alone for sure. I am not very satisfied with this manicure, and it's a lot of room for improvement. I want to do some fun Christmas designs soon, even if this holiday is not big in Taiwan.

Until We Meet Again (Live Unplugged) – Mat Kearney
Until We Meet Again features songs from Kearney's second acoustic tour, his winter 2020 Revisited tour. These songs were recorded in January and February, just before the COVID-19 shutdown. Many of the songs are from early in his career, with five of the eleven songs from his 2011 album Young Love and three from his 2009 album City of Black and White. Most of the songs, are about love and relationships, with other themes including encouragement and trust in God.

United – Newsboys (Deluxe Edition)
In the spring of 2018, former Newsboys lead singer Peter Furler and former bassist Phil Joel joined the then current Newsboy lineup of Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Jody Davis for a Newsboys reunion tour. Since then the Newsboys United have played more than 150 concerts. As a result, this new studio album has been highly anticipated. And the album, which is comprised of praise and worship songs, does not disappoint. The album, co-produced by Furler and Duncan Sparks and featuring a number of different writers, has a clean and energetic sound, as it merges the former members and current members together for a satisfying result.
Below are a few comments about each song:
Greatness of Our God – This worship song about the greatness of God, was written by Bryan Fowler, Colby Wedgeworth and Ethan Hulse. This was the first song released from the album. Furler and Tait share lead vocals on an excellent opening song.
Symphony – This song was written by Bryan Fowler, Colby Wedgeworth and Ethan Hulse. The voices of Furler and Tait blend well on this prayer, and Phillips' drums particularly stand out.
Key lyrics:
So, let my life be, let my life be
A symphony, a symphony
Every breath that I breathe
Lord I wanna bring You glory, glory

Vintage Worship: The Glory of Historic Hymns. Matt Boswell writes "While I certainly don't think that historic hymns are the only thing we should sing in corporate worship, I am concerned that omitting older hymns in our gatherings silences the rich voices of church history. Some churches seem uninterested in any song that is more than two years old, much less two hundred years."

This week's song of the week is a wonderful new hymn from Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, and Graham Kendrick titled "My Worth is Not in What I Own":
My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
As summer flowers we fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
I will not boast in wealth or might
Or human wisdom's fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ
Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed – my ransom paid

WASHINGTON, DC: The last ten years have been marked by the events of 9/11, which Osama bin Laden set in motion. The next ten years, however, need not be lived in his shadow.
Bin Laden's death, like his life, is already proving controversial. World leaders have been quick to laud his demise as well as remind and assure their people that the fight against terrorism does not end with one man's death. The speed with which bin Laden was buried, and the fact that US President Barack Obama's administration has decided not to release photographs, has led some to doubt whether or not he was actually killed. Skepticism has come from all corners: from the United States, Europe, the Muslim world, and from the Taliban in Afghanistan.
In Muslim-majority countries, many see this as a natural result of the suspicion with which American involvement in the Middle East and South Asia is often viewed, especially because of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shadi Hamid, Director of Research at the Brookings Center in Doha, Qatar, told The Wall Street Journal: "It's not so much about bin Laden as it is about the United States. The United States has provided its narrative to the world — and the natural reaction of many people is to cast doubt on whatever the United States says."
Imam Khalid Latif, Muslim Chaplain at New York University, took a different approach, focusing not on debates around bin Laden's death but instead on what the future might hold, saying: "I hope some ease comes to the hearts of each and every person who lost someone on [September 11th] — and that together we can begin a process toward healing and reconcilement that our city and nation need."
How close are we to beginning that process?
Some Americans, mostly young people, gathered at Ground Zero and Times Square in New York, and in front of the White House on 1 May, after Obama addressed the nation in a live broadcast, to cheer and celebrate bin Laden's death in a manner that made many uncomfortable. Mona Eltahawy, a commentator on Arab issues, was at Ground Zero on Monday and felt that the "frat boy" chants did little to dignify those who lost their lives on 9/11.
Recalling the uprisings across the Middle East, Eltahawy says, "I'm not hearing sympathy for bin Laden from Muslims and Arabs I know. They're relieved he's finally gone. But they're understandably concerned that media obsession will let him hijack these noble revolutions. One man has been killed; dozens courageously staring down despots are slaughtered every day."
In some ways, bin Laden's most profound legacy has been the resulting suspicion with which many Americans have come to view their neighbors, and entire regions and religions; and the same suspicion also colors many Muslim and Arab eyes when looking at America.
And that is something we can change.
What I've heard from many Muslim, Arab and South Asian friends is anger that bin Laden in effect took away their right to be treated as individuals, restricted their movement, stole their voices, and associated them with acts they neither committed nor condoned. While there are, of course, people who sympathize with bin Laden and see him a symbol against Western imperialism, they are a small minority.
Perhaps our biggest take-away from bin Laden's death should be his increasing "irrelevance" as journalist Robert Fisk, who interviewed the Al Qaeda leader on three occasions, puts it. If the last ten years have been largely defined by terror and fear, it's fitting that they come to an end now with the rebirth of democracy in the Middle East and North Africa. Let the next ten years be defined by the kind of positive populist expression we've seen in Egypt and Tunisia, where ordinary people have made and continue to make their voices heard.
Although terrorism will obviously not end with bin Laden's death, this moment can be a chance to turn the corner and a remarkable opportunity for dialogue. American ignorance of South Asia, the Middle East and Islam has colored and hampered our engagements with the Muslim world.
Going forward, there is a wide array of voices to be heard. People are speaking. Who will listen?
