That was of more interest to Sedin than his own stats.''When you're in the middle of the season you don't think too much about it, but I'm sure after the season or looking back it will be different,'' Sedin said. ''It was nice to help the team (win), that's for sure.''Roberto Luongo made 37 saves for the Canucks, who opened a four-game swing.''This is a big road trip for us and to start with a win is going to give us a lot of confidence moving forward,'' Sedin said. ''As a team we played pretty good. The (penalty kill) did a good job and the power play got one, too, so overall it was a good game.''Clarke MacArthur and Mika Zibanejad scored for Ottawa. Craig Anderson allowed four goals on 15 shots before being replaced by Robin Lehner, who gave up one goal on 13 shots.The Senators, who beat Washington 6-4 on Wednesday, dropped to 0-4-1 when playing back-to-back nights.''We got what we earned,'' Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said.Vancouver has won six straight and 10 of the past 11 meetings between the clubs. Ottawa has lost three in a row and six of its last seven home games against the Canucks.Vancouver took control of the game by scoring four goals in the second before a disappointed crowd of 17,931.''Quite honestly, I thought we've played better games,'' Canucks coach John Tortorella said. ''It's good to get a win for us. No complaints here. We've lost some games we should have won and I thought we played well enough to win, but we still have a lot of things to work on.''Sedin tied the game at 1 just 31 seconds into the period when he beat Anderson to the far side. Only 45 seconds later, the Canucks grabbed the lead on Booth's second goal of the season.Booth has had his share of struggles and acknowledged it was nice to contribute offensively.''I felt good on my skates, so that's the biggest thing,'' he said. ''But it's over now and you've got to start gearing up for Saturday in New York.''Vancouver made it 3-1 with a power-play goal when Garrison was left all alone in front. Ottawa has allowed at least one power-play goal in each of the last seven games.Midway through the period, Weise picked up Garrison's rebound and beat a sprawled Anderson.Weise was one of Vancouver's best players and if the Canucks hope to have any long-term success they are going to need secondary scoring.''This is what you need for good teams to win,'' Weise said. ''We can't rely on the (Sedin) twins every night. Our secondary scoring has to pitch in and it has to be consistent.''Less than 20 seconds after Weise's goal, Anderson's night came to an end.''We don't play hard enough on the forecheck,'' MacLean said. ''We don't play hard enough coming back. We don't play hard enough defensively. Our goaltenders aren't playing hard enough. We're just not playing hard enough for long enough to have an opportunity to win.''The Senators managed to cut the lead in half when Zibanejad made it 4-2 with just more than a minute remaining in the period.The Canucks made it 5-2 early in the third when Santorelli took advantage of Jason Spezza's giveaway behind the Ottawa net. Santorelli grabbed the puck, shot and then picked up his own rebound to beat Lehner between the legs.Ottawa actually got the start it wanted. MacArthur scored his 100th career goal midway through the first to give the Senators a 1-0 lead, but they were never able to capitalize on the momentum.''It's frustrating,'' Kyle Turris said. ''That lapse we had in the start of the second and then we played pretty well the last half of the second and the third. We've got to execute coming out of our zone and we've got to be more crisp with the puck.''NOTES: D Patrick Wiercioch, D Jared Cowen and LW Matt Kassian were healthy scratches for the Senators. ... The Canucks were without C Jordan Schroeder, who is expected to miss another month with a sprained ankle. C Jeremy Welsh, C Zac Dalpe and D Andrew Alberts were healthy scratches.

Te Anau and Dunedun
Trip Start
Jan 28, 2006
Trip End
Feb 20, 2007
I'm already at the point where I am watching every penny I spend. I looked for a good place to camp for a night or two. I found this great place called just outside of town called Barnyard Backpackers. It's a deer and cow farm with a couple of horses. They offer horse treks at a low hourly rate, so I thought about digging deeper into my pocket to give it a go. Saving money while travelling from one place to the next is much more difficult then you can immagine. Often the best way to save a little cash is to put up a tent and hope for the best. Camping is usually about $10 to $15. When camping at a backpackers you can use their facilties just as you would if you pay for a bed. It turned out to be a big mistake camping at barnyard backpackers. It couldn't have been colder, and more rain couldn't have fallen. At night time in New Zealand the temperature drops to just above freezing. That may not seem so bad in comparison to Canada, but this is summer here and I have to sleep on the wet freezing ground. I think I got maybe 6 hours total sleep in 2 nights.
After doing nothing out of the ordinary in Te Anau for a couple of days it was time to head to Dunedun. Dunedun is one of the bigger cities in New Zealand. It's a university city with loads of great shops, cafes and bars. The first couple of days there were spend just cruising around the city. with the exception of site seeing and going to the chocolate factory, I bought nothing and did nothing special. The 3rd night there was crazy thou. I went out with a bunch of new party friends that I met along the way in New Zealand, and spent about $150! It was a great night! I was off my face drunk. The only thing I didnt like about it was fact that the hostel I was staying at was haunted. Many people over the years encountered some kind of ghost while staying here. It's advertised as a haunted backpackers, so I figured why not give it a chance. This was the worst idea ever! I was put in room #8 where the ghost is usually present, and immediately regretted it. I was scared shitless, and wasn't afraid to admit it. After the first night of not seeing, hearing or feeling any ghostly presence I began to forget about it, and went on with my scrambled daily routine. The 2nd night came around and that's when the fun began. I was packing away my backpack, when out of the blue something touched the underside of my leg. I thought maybe I rubbed up against my pack, but it was miles away. I told others but they were scepticle. It didnt really freak me out, but I definitely had more of an open mind. I went out on the piss again that night with everyone from the hostel and came back slightly off my rocker. I passed out in bed at some unknown late hour. I was having a perfect sleep until it happened... A GHOST SPOONED ME! That's right, spooned me! I was laying on my side in bed, when all of a sudden I was woken by something pressed up against my back. I froze on the spot! I lost all breath and gasped for air for a few seconds. I don't think I've ever run so fast. I was out of there like a bat out of hell. I hid in the bathroom for 25 minutes or so trying to think of an explanation for what just happened to me. After giving it some thought, I came to realize that I really wasn't hurt. I also remember hearing that this ghost is friendly, and that no one has ever been hurt from him before. I woke up in the morning and told no one. I inquired about other encounters at the front desk in the morning. The manager of the building said that there is a ledger book going around the hostel. The book has many others written experiences of their encounter with the friendly ghost. I really had no interest in being any more spooked, so I packed up and left for Dunedun.

Our experience here started off badly when we ate in the restaurant on the first night and we were charged over double than we were initially told for the fish.

This is definitely NOT a mexican restaurant. Not sure about the rest of the menu, but something as basic as a steak burrito should be easy. By far the worst burrito I've had in years. No taste except for the burned, fatty steak. Also, the white rice, and bland cheese make me feel like I'm eating something at a nursing home. The fries were ok...decent seasoning, but who wants their burrito to come with fries. It's cheap filler. Next time, I'll look somewhere else for my fix.

Best Mexican food I've had in NYC period. Super friendly staff run this family owned restaurant. The quality of some dishes is on par with much higher end fine dining restaurants. Please try them and write a nice review.

Ordered placed at 7:36pm. It's 8:44pm and I'm still waiting. I called the restaurant 3 times and couldn't get through. Busy line. I finally got through and was told they were packing the order... That was 25 minutes ago. How log does it take to for a simple chicken quesadilla and nachos. Not ordering from here again.

On a whim, stopped by for dinner a couple months ago. The staff (great family) were amazing. They were so helpful in giving great advice and were so nice. The first time I went we got to dessert and my girlfriend and I were trying to decide between 3 desserts and asked for guidance. We settled for 2 but when coming out with the food the waitress told us her dad (owner/chef) wanted us to try all 3 and we of course weren't charged. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great and I was so excited to hear they were on seamless for those days I'm too lazy to go. It's my new go to spot!! Enjoy

Amazing food! I'd been to this restaurant a few times in person and really enjoyed it, so I was happy to see it show up on seamless--because sometimes getting dressed and going out is just too much work. The prices seem a little higher than some other places in the neighborhood, but as soon as you taste the food you realize why--everything is super fresh and delicious and tastes like "restaurant" food rather than cheapie takeout. I ordered the fish tacos and they were perfect--they arrived piping hot with a light crispy coating, and the pickled cabbage and cilantro sauce came on the side, which meant the tacos didn't get all sloppy and soggy in transit. Also, the sauce was so good I literally licked the container--I'm not proud, but it happened... Based on my experiences in the actual restaurant, all the food is great--so far I've tried the salads (the shrimp is particularly fantastic), the zucchini & corn quesadilla and the churrasco, and they were all awesome. My friend's huevos rancheros also looked amazing.

American Idol 7
Fox expands 'American Idol 7' finals result shows to a full hour
By Christopher Rocchio and Steve Rogers, 02/12/2008
It looks like both finalists and viewers will have to wait an extra half-hour to learn
American Idol
seventh-season voting results.
Fox has announced it will expand
Idol 7's
weekly results show broadcasts to a full hour beginning with the season's Wednesday, March 12 at 9PM ET/PT broadcast that will send the competition's first Top 12 finalist home.
Prior to today's announcement, Fox had previously announced plans to air sitcoms in the Wednesdays at 9:30 PM/PT post-
time period. A "special preview" broadcast of the network's new
The Return of Jezebel James
sitcom was set to air in the time period on March, 12, with broadcasts of
Back to You
scheduled to take over the time period beginning the following week.

Jezebel James
will now premiere on Friday, March 14 at 8PM ET/PT, after which the show will air a second episode in its originally-scheduled 8:30PM ET/PT time period.
Back to You
will still air original episodes (its last two pre-Hollywood writers strike episodes) after
90-minute semifinals broadcasts on February 26 and 27, however Fox has not currently rescheduled the show's previously-planned Wednesday night broadcasts.
Last year,
results show broadcasts didn't expand to one-hour broadcasts until the
Top 7 were revealed
in mid-April.
In addition, Fox also officially announced
American Idol
will air a special one-hour results show broadcast on Thursday, April 10 at 9PM ET/PT due to the network's
previously announced
decision to air a special two-hour
Idol Gives Back
charity event on Wednesday, April 9 at 8PM ET/PT.
Idol Gives Back's
2007 charity event
aired over the course of two late-April
Idol 6
broadcasts, and the event
raised $75 million
from both home viewer and corporate contributions. It also
featured some tough moments
for the Top 6 finalists, as the second night of the fundraiser was held during one of the season's results show broadcasts.
"We were forced into that situation because of the very nature of what we were doing,"
executive producer Nigel Lythgoe
reporters during a December conference call.
"We had many discussions about it. I refused to cut anybody that night. I can't ask America to send money in, look at these poor people, 'Oh and by the way, Jordin Sparks, you're cut tonight. Bye-bye, darling.' It would have been horrible. It would have been awful, but if you know me after seven years, you know I'm not just going to say at the beginning of the show, 'We're not going to cut anybody.' I've got to play. I've got to be cruel. That's the puppet master in me, if you will. Yes, we messed around with the kids. Bless them."
Lythgoe was quick to add he "wouldn't dream of doing it again" like that and found a simple solution -- airing that week's results show broadcast the following night.

Longer School Days Coming for Boston Elementary, Middle School Students
City and school leaders hope the extra time will boost student academic performance, especially in the city's lowest-performing schools.
City and school leaders hope the extra time will boost student academic performance, especially in the city's lowest-performing schools.
Mayor Marty Walsh's plans include a focus on upgrading the city's schools' infrastructure, an emphasis on career and technical education, and expansion of pre-K education.
A tentative agreement between the city, the school district, and the teachers' union could eventually lead to longer school days for more than 20,000 students.
Boston school police want to carry pepper spray, an issue that has raised concerns in some other districts.
Thomas M. Menino, the popular mayor of Boston who had authority over the city's schools throughout his 20-year tenure, died Oct. 30 of cancer. He was 71.
With its combination of Ivy League and prestigious tech schools, and some of the best K-12 systems in the country, Massachusetts is poised to be a leader in the much-anticipated educational-tech explosion that is expected in the next few years.
Boston's calling cards: world-class universities, history galore, a sports fan's mecca, and a model of stability in urban education.
Candidates hail from Canada to Florida. The majority have been superintendents, and the group is predominantly male.
Meier: If schools were to operate as democracies, what are some examples of how that might work?
Mayor Martin J. Walsh will task a new citywide education czar to coordinate school improvement efforts across public schools, charter schools, parochial and private schools, as well as higher education.

@article {1683, title = {Opportunities for Sustainable Design and Operation of Clean Spaces: A Study on Minienvironment System Performance}, year = {2005}, abstract = {
In order to identify and pursue energy efficiency opportunities associated with cleanrooms, it is necessary to understand the design and operation of cleanroom systems for specific contamination control requirements. With the industrial trend toward more stringent cleanliness class and tightening clean spaces, it is vital to understand the design of minienvironment and the operational performance of its systems. A good understanding of such system performance would help to identify opportunities in efficient energy end-use and wise allocation of resources associated with processes or productions that require minienvironments and cleanrooms. This report summarizes a case study on energy performance of a common minienvironment used in semiconductor industry, and discusses the opportunities in saving energy, in particular, the opportunities in achieving efficient operation and design that entails applications of minienvironments.

On April 26, I met with SouLy from SEDA in Vientiane, Lao to visit one of the schools in Ban Phao (or Phao village) that received funding for renovation. Everyone at the school knew SouLy and greeted her upon arrival. She had been working with this specific school and village for some time.
This village's income generation is mainly from rice production, cassava, vegetables, and potatoes. The town consists of mostly farmers supplying these items to cities. In this town, there is an elementary and middle school but no high school - the children have to go to the next town for high school.
Walking around, I could hear laughter see kids playing and teachers congregating. A horn was blown, and the kids were being called back to class. These classrooms were no longer held in huts, but in solid structures allowing the children to study and learn in a sturdy and safe environment.
I sat with two of the students who spoke to me about SEDA and the volunteers SEDA brought through to teach – they said they learned a lot of things like English, numbers, months, fruit, and conversation in English. One girl even said her favorite subject was English because it helped her to understand others that speak it. The teachers were happy to sit and speak with us also sharing their needs now with us - the school now needed science equipment to turn theory into practice, books, a library and computers.
I would like to thank SEDA and SouLy for her support and hospitality in accompanying me to visit this school and experience how GlobalGiving funds were used.
TweetEducation in Laos reflects its diverse history, from the domination of the temple (vat) education system, through to the colonial era, the revolution, and the present-day drive for economic growth. Under French rule, there was a lack of investment in educational infrastructure for native Laotians, and the traditional vat education system provided the only access to education for ordinary people. Despite increasing investment mid-century, low literacy levels remained until 1975 when the government launched its infrastructure and literacy drive. Literacy levels shot up, but the previous underinvestment in infrastructure and human resources limited how sustainable this growth was.
In 1986, the government launched the 'New Economic Mechanism' to move from a centrally planned to a market-oriented economy. This reform explicitly pinpointed education as a prime driver in economic growth. Education levels and infrastructure saw some modest improvement, but again there was a limit to this growth, especially in rural areas. Market-orientated reforms continued throughout the 1990s and despite some successes, there was actually an increase in educational inequality. This was most apparent in the increasing urban/rural divide, dating back to colonial days and the vat system before that.
Merely 64.5% of males and 59.6% females in rural areas are in primary education; however, the figure for urban children is as high as 82% for both males and females. This leaves just 57.3% of rural males and 51.3% of rural females in attendance in primary education. The disparity becomes even starker once socio-economic class is taken into account.
How Is SEDA Fighting This?
SEDA believes the lack of sustainable growth in Lao education systems is caused not by a lack of will but by a lack of infrastructure to consolidate government investment and strategy. This is particularly true in rural, outlying communities. The lack of historical investment in rural Lao infrastructure will no longer be an excuse to deny Lao children a primary education.
SEDA recognizes this and is deep in consultation with Ban Oun-Yai Village, Lao Ngarm District, and Salavan Province. We have selected one school in the village, and we are working closely with the School Principle, Village Committees, and the District of Education to select and deliver construction materials for school renovation. Upon successful completion of this project, SEDA will engage with the other schools in the Lao Ngarm District in need of infrastructure development. We are currently in need of funds to allow us to reach as many rural children as possible, and we are in the process of beginning consultation with village committees. SEDA realizes the scale of the project ahead but will not use that as an excuse not to fight for the right of every rural child to a primary education. This project is essential if SEDA is to do its part to achieve Goal 2 of the Millennium Development Goals—the right to universal primary education.
Please show your support for the children of Ban Oun-Yai Village by donating through Global Giving or directly to SEDA through our PayPal account.
TweetSEDA and the Ban Phao and Ban Hai villages would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated to this project.
Thanks to your generous donations, and help from a private donor and the Lao PDR Government, we have been able to complete the renovations at both schools.
The children of Ban Phao village have also benefited from volunteer English teacher Will Thomason, who has recently finished teaching an 8 week summer school program.
Head teacher at the Ban Phao school, Mr Khan told SEDA:
"The children are delighted with their new school and learnt a lot from Will. We were very sad to see him leave. We really hope that we can work with SEDA and Global Giving donors to keep making improvements."
Continuing to improve education:
SEDA's work improving education is not finished. Following the successes in Ban Phao and Ban Hai, over 100 schools in Laos have asked to work with SEDA on renovations and providing school materials.
We still need your help to reach our goals and make a real difference to education in Laos. SEDA would be grateful if donors could send a nominal donation, from just $10, to the new education projects listed on Global Giving, to keep the work going and to receive updates on all the great things that are happening.
We also welcome comments, feedback and suggestions from donors. Please email us at email@example.com.
TweetElementary school children in the Ban Phao village, 56 km outside of Vientiane, have been enjoying their brand new classrooms.
Six classrooms were built with money donated from a private donor from Korea, and have made a huge difference to the school and the children's education.
Now SEDA needs help to raise the money to renovate the Junior High classrooms.
The classrooms were built over 30 years ago, and suffered a lot of damage during the war. The rooms are in a terrible state of disrepair, without windows, with old equipment, and with poorly constructed walls. This makes teaching the children very difficult.
To renovate the buildings and give these children the chance for a decent school, SEDA needs to raise $25,000-29,000. The village also needs help raising money to build a library for the children. Teachers really want the children to be passionate about reading, but have to house their few books in the teacher's conference room. Headmaster, Mr Khan dreams of having a dedicated library so that they learn to love books.
Fond farewells:
It is with sadness that the children at the school wave goodbye to their English teacher: SEDA volunteer Will Thomason.
Will has been volunteering at the village for 8 weeks for the summer school program, and during that time he has made a huge impression on the kids; improving their English language, building confidence and motivating them so that the really enjoy going to school.
The volunteer program has been so successful that the school's headmaster, Mr Khan told us that he wants SEDA's help to recruit a volunteer to teach for the whole school year.
SEDA need's to raise funds to recruit volunteers and cover their basic living expenses.
To find out more about volunteer opportunities with SEDA please look here: http://www.idealist.org/if/i/en/av/VolunteerOpportunity/173836-80/c
TweetSome renovations to the Ban Phao school have been undertaken. This is due to generous contributions from private funders.
The principle of the school reported that six rooms in the building have been renovated and desks, chairs and fans for the classrooms have been purchased.
The before and after pictures in this posting show the much improved learning conditions. SEDA hopes to continue to support education in the Ban Phao community and make further improvements to the students education! This can only happen through your generous contributions.
Many thanks to our generous supporters who have taken us this far!

Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 1 vote I'd go with superpower. Steel wing is nice for type coverage, but he's not really gonna last against anything with his defenses; even a neutral hit can take him down pretty easily. Superpower is a nice way to break through a few pokemon, and with super luck, it can do a ton of damage at times. Perfect for checking ice pokemon (still one of his weaknesses) rock types (another) and can break through things that try to resist dark like houndoom and Umbreon.

DEFINITION of 'Section 1341 Credit'
A tax credit available for taxpayers who are repaid in a later year more than $3,000 in wages from a prior year. Section 1341 allows taxpayers to claim a credit for taxes paid on wages not received from the previous year. The Section 1341 credit thus allows taxpayers to avoid filing an amended return for the previous tax year.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Section 1341 Credit'
The Section 1341 credit is on line 70 of Form 1040. The taxpayer must write "IRC 1341" in the blank space next to the box. The credit is computed by refiguring the tax return from the previous year as if the wages had not been paid. Then the difference in tax is claimed as a credit on the current year's return. The taxpayer also has the option of either claiming the credit or deducting the repayment as a miscellaneous itemized deduction, whichever provides the greater benefit.

ok I believe I'm pregnant but I woke up this morning with a white discharge almost like lotion can y'all help me
January 6, 2015 - 9:22amPlease help. Have been having thick discharge 4 days after my period. I had Sex on the last day of my period. Does it mean I'm pregnant? Please help.
January 3, 2015 - 10:33amI have it to but I'm only 11 and I have not had intercores with anyone what do I so ????
December 22, 2014 - 6:32pmYou guys are going through Puberty
January 7, 2015 - 6:24pmWARNING LADIES!!! He could be cheating....
I wasn't one to have discharges.... One day I had the milky white kind of discharge. It actually "dripped". I was horrified! Found out I had an infection you get from multiple partners . Cant remember name but the prescription didn't cure it at first. Doctor said on occasion you have to take a 2nd dose. I did. IT WORKED !
I've had vaginal odor and Bacterial Vaginosis problem over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site
( http://the-natural-way.info/Best-Vaginal-Odor-Treatment.php ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I had a big problem with nasty discharge and odor. I'm happy to say that is no longer MY problem. As far as I'm concerned, I am totally cured and it only took about a week from start to finish.
I had this type of discharge before and after my period and before I found out that I was pregnant. It's part of a girl's life, don't worry, but if you're scared, ask doctor or your mom?
December 7, 2014 - 2:17amI think.she should gett her self cheacked out..From O.B.G.y.n....Discharege..from..sperm...if sexualy active....Posbley pregant....YES....But.if are haveing sex...gspot.will.happend.....White milky stuff.pleas take of it...See Your Dr..A.S.A.P...

October 21, 2014 - 12:06pmSo I have this white thing coming out of me and can it occur when your pregnant.? Also people say that if you discharge a lot that means you could be pregnant. Is this true

Finding time to be physically active is a challenge for most of us. Between the seemingly endless demands of work and family, it may seem like there just aren't enough hours in the day to squeeze in a brisk walk or a pick-up game of basketball.
But when it comes to the health of your colon and rectum and the rest of your body, you need to make time.
Colorectal cancer develops when abnormal masses of tissue - also known as polyps - grow inside the colon or rectum.
While there are a number of reasons why these polyps form, research shows this may occur partly as a result of waste sitting too long in the colon. And there's no doubt that the less active you are, the greater the chance solid waste will languish inside of you, also contributing to obesity, another risk factor.
According to the American Cancer Society, if you engage in moderate-to-vigorous exercise five days a week, typically for 45 minutes each time, it may protect against colorectal and other forms of cancer. You can get started by taking brisk walks or taking the stairs instead the elevator. If you have joint pain, low-impact exercises like swimming are great options to keep your body fit and healthy.
So get moving and protect yourself!

A laundry center is a great option for many homes because it takes up less space than having two separate units, and with our special washer dryer packages, it will also save you money. Our stacked washer dryer combos are available with electric or gas dryers, so you�ll find everything for your space-saving needs.
Appliances Connection carries the top brands in washing and drying machines, including Whirlpool, GE, and Maytag, to name a few. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right washer and dryer, contact us at 800-299-9470.
What is a laundry center?
Laundry centers combine a washer and dryer in one stacked unit. Our laundry centers are available in both 24- and 27-inch width models and average 70 to 75 inches tall when stacked.
What are the benefits of a washer dryer combo?
While laundry centers typically don�t have as many bells and whistles as high-end washers, their simple design takes out the hassle of matching a unit�s color and functionality.
Stacking a washer and dryer is a great way to save space. What�s more, these units do not have a greatly reduced capacity compared to standalone units, which is sometimes the trade-off with certain washer dryer combos.
Additionally, a laundry center will save you time and money.
Appliances Connection offers free nationwide in-home delivery, no sales tax, and full manufacturer warranties on all brand new kitchen appliances. We can even haul away your old washers and dryers.
To contact Appliances Connection with any questions on which laundry center is right for you, please call 800-299-9470.

The JetMate software allows the DT-X30 to become a fully portable hand-held ANPR system running CitySync's internationally respected ANPR recognition engine with a choice of Windows CE or Windows Mobile. JetMate speeds up the process of collecting vehicle number plates in the field by up to 30 times. The number plates can be immediately checked against a database or downloaded depending on the application. The DT-X30 is pointed at the number plate of a stationary vehicle and reads it. An image of the camera view and the plate patch are displayed on screen, along with the interpreted plate details. The device can also contain a 'hit list' of 100 million wanted vehicles and once the number plate is captured it can be compared against the hit list in real time. If a match is found then an audible warning tone is sounded along with an appropriate message or information displayed on screen.
CitySync filed for an EU patent in 2001 for a hand-held Automatic Number Plate Recognition device which was granted in 2004.
In addition to the DT-X30GR-30C, there are four other models in the DT-X30 series. They are perfect for use in broad range of applications, wherever real time data communication is required. For example, the DT-X30 series is ideal for courier or post office parcel delivery management, store delivery management, parking enforcement, traffic infringement citations, metre readings, inspections, warehousing, and lots more. |

This is [not] for everyone – forewarning the end of a free and open web
Having been involved with (and some would say, partially responsible for) encouraging Australian artists and organisations to maximise their online and social media presence and engagement, I feel that it is important for me to now voice some of the increasing doubts and concerns I have been professionally – and personally – struggling with in this area.
My journey with online media is a long one. I have been building and maintaining online communities since I first started working in media arts in 1996 – long before the social media platforms we now depend on existed. All 'free' tools need to make money somewhere, which they do largely through advertising and data-mining (turning your data into "the product" – as Douglas Rushkoff points out in his book "Program or be Programmed" – that they on-sell to commercial partners).
Having spent a decade hand-building my online community spaces, I felt Facebook and Twitter's entry into the scene offered an acceptable exchange. In return for giving them my data (which I didn't deem terribly valuable or important) I gained a set of tools that enabled me to communicate effectively with the community I needed to reach, quickly, openly and at no commercial price. I knew full well that in using these 'free' tools I was accepting a contract which made me "the product", but I was OK with that. These days, I'm not so sure.
Paying to promote the popular
You might have noticed that Facebook isn't the same as it used to be. Don't worry, this isn't some whinge about how the layout is different, again. I'm not complaining about change-in-general, I'm voicing concerns about the reasons behind the changes that are taking place and what this reflects about current trends in online and digital culture more broadly.
Your Facebook News Feed used to consist of a chronological list, where any post (whether a personal message, photo, meme or link from another website, regardless of whether that was from a personal profile, group or page) would appear in the order they were published. Of course the more friends you have, or the more groups or pages you follow, the more hectic and noisy your feed would be. Since August last year new changes mean that any post with a lot of likes or comments is bumped back up to the top of the list again, prioritising the 'popular'.
From a personal perspective, you're probably not seeing quite the same number of updates from as many of your Facebook friends as you used to (with the same applying to groups and pages that you follow). Where have they gone, you might ask?
From a professional perspective (if you run a Facebook page for your business), you're probably finding that each post is receiving less views than they used to. As well as being able to buy advertising for your page as a whole, you now (coincidentally) are invited to 'promote' each post – paying for a boost, essentially advertising each post you make – to increase your potential audience.
Technically both of these shifts are due to last year's changes in Facebook's algorithm which (in their words) are intended to "deliver the right content to the right people at the right time so they don't miss the stories that are important to them". Let's look at the changes they outline:
The News Feed algorithm responds to signals from you, including, for example:
How often you interact with the friend, Page, or public figure (like an actor or journalist) who posted
The number of likes, shares and comments a post receives from the world at large and from your friends in particular
How much you have interacted with this type of post in the past
Whether or not you and other people across Facebook are hiding or reporting a given post
What's happening here is essentially the creation of a feedback loop, preventing you from seeing posts from people you don't normally see (and here's the catch22-clincher) because you don't normally see them. You could try to counter that by actively going to the profiles/pages of people you want to hear more from, thereby setting the agenda for the way the new algorithm works with your preferences. But instead of making that easy for you or offering you that choice, they define it on your behalf. Even the least cynical amongst us should be concerned about how – and why – those pre-selections are made.
In this list we can also see the return of the old upvote 'popularity contest' so favoured by commercial channels. This assumes that if your friends like a post then obviously you will too, thereby further shrinking the visibility of any post which is more niche or hasn't been commercially 'promoted'.
My concerns with this are twofold:
- When you only see posts from the same people – and when everyone only sees the same few posts – you end up existing in an echo chamber, or "the digital flock" as MIT's Ethan Zuckerman describes it. I love the diversity of conversations I have online as much as the random conversations with strangers I have on the street. What I feel I used to gain from social media was the added benefit of sometimes choosing to have those conversations within a more curated crowd. I don't want to only have access to homogenised information streams – in fact I stopped watching television, reading newspapers and listening to radio a very long time ago for exactly that reason.
- If only 'promoted' posts reach your target audience, then eventually only those with marketing budgets will be heard.
Facebook aren't the only ones moving in this direction; Twitter also went for IPO last year and accordingly are pushing a much greater prominence of sponsored posts. But in some ways these two were always expected to go down the revenue generation route; in internet terms they are but meagre children (ten and eight years old, respectively). What I find more disconcerting is the strategic shift taking place internationally across the internet as a whole.
The end of the open web
In an article posted by Scientific American in 2010 entitled "Long Live the Web: A Call for Continued Open Standards and Neutrality" (ironically published behind a paywall), World Wide Web [WWW] inventor Tim Berners-Lee outlines the simple yet profound intention of his 1989 creation: "that any person could share information with anyone else, anywhere". Reflecting on these early egalitarian principles and the thousands of people who contributed their time and efforts to this vast knowledge-bank infrastructure, Berners-Lee outlines contemporary threats posed by key players within the upper echelons of the corporate digital world.
Whether visibly or not, we will all have experienced these control mechanisms. Internet Service Providers [ISPs] have commonly set traffic speeds according to whether or not a commercial deal is in place between themselves and the destination site, under the guise of maintaining 'quality bandwidth provision' to their paying customers. Paywalls have become the familiar toll-gate to mainstream journalism and (often publicly funded) academic research. Walled gardens such as Facebook use the facade of 'privacy' to assert the 'value' of closed-networks – after all sharing is relative, right? But how much power should these commercial players be allowed to wield in preference to anyone else's right to share their information with anyone else, anywhere?
This corporate desire to control ownership of the digital landscape is not a new story. We have all heard of the 'dreadful losses' incurred by the all-powerful (and largely US-based) music, film and TV behemoths. Many (including myself) believe that, instead of adapting their business models to take advantage of the multiple global market opportunities the internet provides, these players have instead chosen to bury their heads in the sand, mounting various forms of legislative attack in order to protect their own corporate interests. Since the Stop Online Piracy Act [SOPA] and Protect Intellectual Property Act [PIPA] failed to gain legislative approval following enormous public outcry, it's hardly surprising that current Trans Pacific Partnership [TPP] negotiations – which cover far more than pure copyright concerns – are taking place behind closed-doors. It is not in the best interests of gatekeepers to let the general public become involved in such weighty decisions, after all.
The TPP is an international trade agreement which seeks to "enhance trade and investment among the TPP partner countries, promote innovation, economic growth and development, and support the creation and retention of jobs". This all sounds pretty commendable, until you realise that its primary focus is to enhance the opportunities of the corporate American market through control over existing laws in member countries. A draft text of the Intellectual Property Rights Chapter released by WikiLeaks revealed that member Governments (including Australia) could be sued for foreign corporations' loss of future profits when making laws in the public interest; be prevented from offering generic-brand medicines in protection of profits from (largely US-based) patent-holding corporations; bring in a ban on parallel imports (increasing the cost of imported products from overseas and adding geoblocks to downloadable material) and force ISPs to release the names of suspected copyright infringers without evidence (if you have ever watched an episode of 'Game of Thrones' through nefarious sources in Australia, that could mean you).
"If instituted, the TPP's IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you're ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs." [WikiLeaks' Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange]
I must say that I am doubtful the current government will be justly serving the nation's best interests when negotiating the TPP. Certainly when looking at the Liberal's decision to "demolish" the National Broadband Network [NBN], you might wonder if there is any point us even attempting to keep up with online innovations at all. Their decision to delay the inevitable (applying a sticking-plaster approach by 'repairing' an outdated copper network and installing occasional fibre-to-the-node [FTTN] exchanges instead of continuing the rollout of fibre-to-the-premises [FTTP]) will be a frustrating and expensive mistake for all Australians to endure. Our patience will additionally be required twice; once while they make these repairs and a second time when they eventually recognise their error and start with the fibre plan all over again.
So yes, I am concerned with Facebook's new algorithm and how it will affect the ability of artists and arts organisations to share freely (and for free) within our chosen personal and professional networks. And yes I am appalled by the Australian Government's decision to restrict who has affordable access to high-speed internet. But far more, I fear deeply for the future of digital culture, net neutrality and the open web as a whole. Despite Tim Berners-Lee's original altruistic intentions, it would appear that the web is increasingly not for everyone.

long overdue update
Well now. Some of you may have noticed I've been unusually quiet online of late. There are a few reasons for this. Partly I finally paid attention to some very wise advice, partly I've been overseas gaining inspiration and taking time to reflect on the absolute insanity that has been the last two/three years (since starting reallybigroadtrip), and partly 'real life' came knocking.
I'm aware that most of my blog posts are overly long (*understatement) so I'm going to try to (as briefly as possible, which isn't so much…) provide an overview, a context, here and I'll be more fully writing up specifics in due course. (Apologies in advance for the lack of images. Right now it's hard enough to find the space to think/write clearly. If I go faffing with images this will never get published).
I set out to change my life with this project, and ohmyword… has that happened. Not to say I didn't have a good life before, but for many many years most of my energies were spent in facilitating other people's creative practice, not exploring my own. Knowing I was becoming a permanent resident in Australia gave me the opportunity to become free again – I've spent most of my life as a freelancer and no longer needing to work for organisations who could provide business sponsored visas meant I could go back to that.
I took the opportunity to take a long hard look at what I wanted my life to become, and set myself some quite large (*understatement) goals accordingly. I never expected the crowdfunding campaign to go viral (or even really be successful), and had no previous experience in the surge of interest that virality brings – I was a victim of my own success, however arrogant that might sound. Of course once I'd got the financial support I couldn't back out even if I had wanted to.
This has been an absolute life change; it's affected every single aspect of my world. I have had major personal, logistical, professional and creative hurdles to climb. I took on too much. Even at the start of this year the cracks were beginning to show. I dropped balls. I hate dropping balls. And then I got some advice. Amazingly, I listened.
My last Nomad in Residence was Edwin van Ouwerkerk Moria (a very smart/lovely developer from Holland working with Creative Nonfiction on Cockatoo Island Ghost Stories). He left his 'residency' with my first strongly directed words of advice:
"Slow the fuck down".
Shortly afterward two very dear colleagues-who-became-friends pointed out a few more home truths. Some are too personal to share here but others might have resonance outside of my little bubble, so here:
Stop spending every moment online. You have little enough spare time as it is, and you fill every single other moment with social media and online engagement. You have no room in your brain to let anything else in.
You keep saying you need to learn new skills so you can make new art, but you're 40 now. If at this stage in your life you can't look inside yourself and see what meaning/message is already in there, you never will.
You've fallen into the same trap every artist does; you've let yourself become distracted by the technology and lost sight of your own meaning/message. [On this, I tell people ALL THE TIME not to start with the tech. I forgot to take my own bloody advice!]
Stop. Just stop. Take time to reflect, to just BE. Then – and only then – decide what's next.
Funnily enough this advice came at exactly the time I knew I'd (once again) pushed myself too far. I was already asking myself those deep questions that come before a change. But I still needed the nudge, confirmation I was right in having been going wrong (if that makes sense). Damn I'm lucky to have such incredible people around me…
So I listened. I took this trip to Europe as an opportunity to let myself just BE. I reflected on my life, my own practice, dedicated effort to being offline (seriously, it took EFFORT), and let myself absorb inspiration from everything I saw and every conversation I had. And I stopped, I slowed the fuck down. Man, it's been incredible. I'll go into more detail in future posts about what I've learned from my reflections, but here's a couple of tasters.
I use the term "tromboning" a lot these days and people ask wtf I'm on about. I most recently defined it as "the art of focusing in on detail and then zooming back out to gain perspective". I don't know if I 'coined' it or anything so clever, but it describes my process. I immerse fully in the minutiae of my life/my project (in film terms 'the extreme closeup') and then every now and then zoom back out to get the context (the 'establishing shot'). The last three years have been the former – extreme closeups all round! The last couple of months have been very much the latter (actually I've been repeatedly tromboning within the last couple months if I'm honest – it helps me think through the whole picture).
Being offline more has been enormous. I started noticing some significant affects of this during The Subjects sleep deprivation residency earlier this year but was too close-up to understand it then. It sounds so silly to say it now, but it turns out that not sharing every single moment of your life with the outside world means you have more awareness of the nuances in front of you. You not only hear what people say but you observe the way their facial expressions change while they're talking; you gain new insight into their meaning through their body language; your eyes connect more – you FEEL them more. You see the sky, the architecture, hear the wind in the trees and the fluttering of birds overhead.
Heh, maybe all I've done is discover my inner hippy, but the level of connection I have felt to myself, to others and to place has been astonishing. I'll continue to use social media, of course (although I've been pondering what "post-social" would look like… one for another post), but I've reminded myself of another important life-fact: balance is everything. (And from this realisation I've made a whole new – non-digital – artwork, which I'll write about later).
The 'real life' that came knocking was that my Mum (who suffers from Myelitis and Bell's Palsy, amongst other things) has been in increasingly bad health, with more regular visits to the hospital. Living in Australia makes it very hard for me to be any real support for her or my sister. Since I was already in the Northern Hemisphere for work I extended my trip to spend time with her and work with my sis to help look for potential longterm healthcare solutions. She's always been incredibly independent and she's doing OK, for the most part. But it was time for my sister and I to step up and help, and it's been really good spending quality time with her (I'm usually only back for a few days every couple of years). In being back in Wales I've had time with old friends and even gone back to the old haunts of my youth; it's helped me re-contextualise what 'home' means to me.
I came to Europe thanks to an Independent Makers and Presenters Professional Development travel grant from ArtsSA. Mainly I was here to visit Ars Electronica and Nomadic Village but as always collected a few other bits of awesome along the way.
Here's a brief taster:
Brighton Digital Festival – I only really skimmed the surface here as I was passing through, but I'd like to write a bit more about what I saw/read through twitter feeds. In the meantime check the sites for some smart/beautiful work and watch the Improving Reality recordings for some excellent discussions. Also keep an eye on The Lighthouse (one of BDF co-producers) since they generally do great things and have also just announced they're one of the new Open Data Institute nodes.
Ars Electronica – toooooo many things blew my mind here, so I'll blog that separately.
Randomly, while discussing storytelling, my sister introduced me to Kate Tempest, an amazingly powerful young spoken word poet from UK. I can't embed this video sadly but I strongly recommend you take the time to go and watch "The Mouse Hiding Out in the Lion's Hair". Apparently Kate is coming to Australia soon – I've suggested she might want to consider being a Nomad in Residence, but who knows…
Nomadic Village – again this has a lot (*understatement) that needs explaining/sharing so will come in another post. But wow. So many beautiful people, from so many different places. This was the perfect blend of social politics and creative culture, and the first time all my conversations about being a nomad skipped straight past "why" so we could cut to the chase of "how", "where" and "when". I can't begin to explain how important that was.
The big thing for my immediate future is that I'm going home soon, back to Adelaide where I'll be mainly based for the next year. Back to my beautiful big red bus… although living in a metal tin over another screamingly hot summer has me a bit concerned. I REALLY need to get the next stage of busmod done (new insulation, tinting the windows and getting an awning, amongst other things) so I can have some hope of not frying, but there's currently no money for this so we'll see.
I was going to be part of this weekend's Eurisko, holding a "Pimp my Bus" session with the wonderful hackers and tinkerers from HackMelbourne and beyond, but had to let that go (for now) due to the trip extension (more on "Pimp my Bus" another time…). I land back on Nov 12th, ready to give a (somewhat jetlagged) talk on crowdfunding for Guildhouse on 13th.
Then I need to deliver a project funded earlier in the year, Open Source Home. There was always a research element to that and the reflections I've had (not to mention actually returning to my early home for a while) have very much changed what I thought I was going to do by way of 'outcome' – again I'll blog this, but soon since it happens in December! I mentioned research. I'm only a dabbler in academia, but I've been looking into historical/cultural contexts around what it means to be a creative nomad in contemporary society. Many of our predecessors lived nomadic lives, whether farmers moving pastures or merchant traders, pilgrims or travelling minstrels. I gave a talk earlier this year at the Haecksen miniconf at Linuxconf where I was starting to sift through my thinking (if you watch the video you'll see it's very rough). Since then I have started a Practice Based Research in the Arts online Stanford course so I can learn how to research properly. It's so far working out well and I'm really enjoying the brain-expansion, although I long to have more time/space to read and report back on everything I'm finding.
Looking ahead, my biggest focus for the next year is something I'm currently calling "Niinamarni", which means "Hello" in Kaurna, the local South Australian Indigenous dialect. I'll be hosting the very brilliant Alex Kelly as my Nomad in Residence and have mentoring advice and support from Alex Reid (Group Executive Director, Arts and Cultural Affairs (including Arts SA, the Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Division and the Capital City Committee Directorate) in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, SA – what a long job title!) and Brenda L Croft (a member of the Gurindji/Malngin/Mudpurra peoples from the Northern Territory, Australia and a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute for Experimental Arts (NIEA), College of Fine Arts (CoFA), UNSW) whom I had the very great fortune of working with during ISEA2013. Again, much much more on this to come.
OK. Well I failed at being brief, again. But I really wanted to get all that down before I return home and get caught up in the next stages of my ever changing life-landscape. If you got this far, thanks for your patience. As always feel free to drop me a line publicly or otherwise (here's where you'll find me) with thoughts/suggestions/advice/criticisms… anything. It's always a pleasure to discuss these things with people who both share my ideas or disagree; it's how I learn. And my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped me get 'here', whether through supporting my crowdfunding campaign, caretaking my bus, sharing advice or just by being generally there for me. Love you guys to bits. YOU are what makes home, for me x
Nomadic Village
I don't speak French, but for anyone who does and who stumbles on my site because I'm listed at this event, here's a press release (screen-grabbed below too).
For the English speakers, you can read about another of the artists who has walked from her home in Holland to the Nomadic Village site. I supported her on Friday 13th September and she wrote about 'walking with me' – lovely project and I look forward to meeting her soon!
Thanks to ArtsSA for supporting this trip via a grant for Professional Development, Independent Makers and Presenters.
