TfL Press release
London's streets will become safer and more accessible for cyclists as the Transport for London (TfL) Board today (4 February) approved plans for the construction of four new cycle superhighways (East-West, North-South, CS1 and the inner section of CS5) and upgrades to the four existing cycle superhighway routes (CS2, CS3, CS7 and CS8) as part of the Mayor's Cycling Vision.
The schemes, which will cost around £160m to deliver between now and the end of 2016, will help treble the number of cycle journeys made over the next 10 years and transform London's streets and spaces to places where cyclists feel they belong and are safe.
The Cycle Superhighway programme is essential for improving conditions for the hundreds of thousands of people who are already cycling daily in London, as well as help encourage more people to take to two wheels. The new routes, which in total cross nine boroughs, will further help cycling become an integral part of London's transport network so that anyone can jump on a bike to get to work, to the shops or to discover London. Work to deliver these schemes will now begin within the next month.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "We know that Londoners want these routes and that they want them to be delivered to the high standard I promised, as quickly as possible. I will keep that promise and spades will begin hitting the ground next month. Thanks to the skill of TfL's engineers and traffic managers, we have made changes which keep the cycle track and junctions segregated, while taking out much less of the route's motor traffic capacity. I now look forward to the transformation that these planned routes will bring – not just for people who cycle now, but for the thousands of new cyclists they will attract."
Sir Peter Hendy CBE, London's Transport Commissioner, said: "Cycling is clearly now a major transport option in London, with over 170,000 bike journeys now made across central London every single day. These schemes will revolutionise cycling in the capital and further demonstrate how London is leading the way in making its roads safe for all road users. There will, naturally, be some disruption due to these works but we have some of the world's leading highway and traffic engineers, traffic models and modellers working tirelessly to ensure that this is kept to a minimum."
Chris Boardman, British Cycling's policy advisor, said: "This is a fantastic day for Londoners as well as the many million people who visit the capital every year.
"This vision for large-scale, properly segregated cycle ways will make cycling a more attractive transport option, creating a more pleasant, healthy and sustainable London for everyone. The move brings the capital one step closer to creating a true cycling culture to rival cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam. But most importantly of all, it will set a standard for the rest of the country."
Now that the TfL Board has approved the plans, a wide programme of communication and traffic management will be carried out to ensure that these works can be delivered with minimum disruption to London's roads. This includes further investment in sophisticated traffic signal technology, which allows better management of traffic depending on differing conditions at any given time. TfL will also work with businesses along the route to help manage deliveries in the best possible way, providing advice to enable them to move away from deliveries during the busiest times and help reduce unnecessary congestion across London.

Click here to read, Transport for London Ultra-Low Emission
Zone proposal: A response from the trade
Boris Johnson has announced his plans to tackle air quality in London through the creation of an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). The ULEZ will operate within the congestion charge zone in Central London and vehicles not meeting the ULEZ standards will be fined. But once again taxis have been disproportionally hit by the proposals, whilst there is no parity in the proposals for private hire with those for taxis. TfL have just finished the consultation process and we are awaiting the outcome to be published in the summer. But it seems certain that TfL are once again going to try to force through a reduced age limit for taxis at a time of immense pressure for taxi drivers.
The main thrust of the ULEZ proposals for taxis is a reduction in the age limit from 15 years to 10 years from September 2020. There will be a requirement that all new taxis presented for licensing from the 1st January 2018 would need to be zero emission capable (ZEC). This would apply to taxis London-wide.
Private hire will retain a 10 year age limit (same as taxis even though taxis are purpose built), and all newly licensed vehicles would need to meet the ZEC requirements, but newly licensed vehicles over 18 months will just need to meet the ULEZ standards of Euro 6 for diesel and Euro 4 for petrol engines. This is clearly wrong and completely unfair on the taxi trade. There should be parity between the taxi and private hire trades over newly licensed vehicles.
A zero emission capable vehicle considered to:
• Utilise plug-in / battery electric technology or equivalent to achieve a maximum output of 50g/km CO2
• Achieve a minimum zero emission range of 30 miles to ensure capability of operating in the ULEZ for extended periods whilst in zero emission mode.
As the ULEZ consultation acknowledges there will be more ZEC vehicles available for private hire than for taxis. So far there are only three taxi manufacturers who could potentially produce ZEC vehicles; LTC, Karsan and Metrocab. The cost of these vehicles is likely to be far in excess of a LTC taxi today and will need to be heavily subsidised by grants from the Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV), not only to pay for the increased cost of the vehicle but to compensate drivers for the loss of residual value on their taxi with the reduction of the age limit. So although there will be more ZEC vehicles available to private hire they will have far less stringent licensing conditions than taxis. This assumes, of course, that ZEC vehicles will be available to purchase in 2018.
Although Unite welcomes the ULEZ consultation and supports better air quality in London, after all taxi drivers are driving in the most polluted parts of London, we believe that taxi drivers are being hit harder than any other group. A 10-year age limit is unnecessary, as NOx emissions could be reduced by other methods, particularly by the availability of grants to increase the take up of new ZEC Vehicles. A 15-year age limit should be retained as a 10-year age limit will increase the financial strain on taxi drivers and lead to over 7,500 taxi being taken off the road in 2020. A minimum grant of £10,000 per driver will be needed to ensure the successful migration to ZEC vehicles along with a network of charging infrastructure to enable drivers to maximise the benefits of owning a ZEC vehicle. Parity between the Taxi and Private Hire trades is essential to ensure that all newly licensed vehicles after 2018 should meet the ZEC requirements.
Having a 10 year age limit would make it likely to be in excess of 12,000 vehicles (almost half of the taxi fleet) that would be upgraded to ZEC taxis from 2018 to 2021. Even this conservative estimate of the number of drivers that would need to purchase a ZEC taxi by 2021 there would need to be grants available of at least £120 million.
From 2018 to 2021 there are likely to be in excess of 12,000 vehicles (almost half of the taxi fleet) that would be upgraded to ZEC taxis. Even this conservative estimate of the number of drivers that would need to purchase a ZEC taxi by 2021 there would need to be grants available of at least £120 million. In addition we would expect drivers purchasing a ZEC taxi for the first time after 2021 to have grants available, as these drivers would have been affected by the 10-year age limit and have lost residual value. This would mean at least another £120 million up until 2028, at which point all taxis be compliant with the ULEZ conditions. This would indicate that over £240 million would be required in grants. This is never going to happen; no Mayor or government is going to guarantee that amount of money so far into the future.
On top of this millions of pounds will be needed for a charging infrastructure to be put in place. To make the most of the fuel savings a ZEC vehicle will bring, the battery will need to be fully charged when the driver starts work. But to cater for every driver a huge network of on-street and home charging infrastructure will be needed. When the cost of this is added to the grants that will be required the amounts become mind blowing. At the moment TfL have no strategy on how they will fund this.
Their plans are ill thought out and are just leading to uncertainty and worry for many drivers. At a time when LTC is picking up production and about to launch a new Euro 6 taxi, TfL are telling drivers that the new, low polluting taxi will only have a 10 year life. So LTC are expected to produce a new taxi that drivers are going to be nervous to buy whilst building a new factory and developing a very expensive vehicle. Nothing TfL does makes sense, but nothing new there.
We cannot accept any reduction in the 15 year age limit. There is no reason for such a reduction, except it is the easiest solution for TfL. There are lots of alternative methods they could use to reduce NOx emissions by 2020. If the Boris persists with anything less than 15 years then he can expect angry drivers, garages and proprietors to want to show him what they think of his decision. His decision will affect every taxi driver he needs to listen to the trade now, or Boris can expect the biggest show of unity the taxi trade has ever seen.

· Judgment notes TfL policy does not appear to the ECJ to involve state aid nor confer, through State resources, a selective economic advantage
· It is now for the Court of Appeal to decide, taking into account this judgment
Transport for London (TfL) has today welcomed the judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), in Luxembourg, on the case brought by Eventech, a subsidiary of Addison Lee, that challenges TfL's policy of allowing taxis, but not private hire vehicles, to use bus lanes in the capital.
In its judgment, the ECJ recognised that taxis are distinct from minicabs noting the former's "legal status, are in a factual and legal situation which is distinct from that of minicabs, and consequently those two categories of vehicles are not comparable".
The ECJ notes that drivers of taxis are subject to strict standards in relation to their vehicles, their fares and their knowledge of London, whereas those standards do not apply to minicabs.
The ECJ goes on to recognise that only taxis can ply for hire, they are subject to the rule of 'compellability', they must be recognisable and capable of conveying persons in wheelchairs, and their drivers must set the fares for their services by means of a taxi meter and have a particularly thorough knowledge of London. Concluding that in that context, the bus lane policy does not confer a selective economic advantage on taxis.
Leon Daniels, TfL's Managing Director of Surface Transport, said: "Our policy on bus lanes was upheld by the High Court. We welcome the opinion from the Advocate General and now the European Court of Justice, but ultimately await the decision of the Court of Appeal. As this process continues we are maintaining our well-understood and effective policy that helps to keep London moving in the interest of everyone."
In the original Judicial Review proceedings in 2012, TfL explained to the court that taxis are allowed to drive in bus lanes because they can ply for hire, whereas minicabs cannot. It would be more difficult to hail a taxi, especially on a busy road, if the vehicle concerned was not near to the kerb. Unlike minicabs, taxis are required to be wheelchair accessible and their ability to use bus lanes is of great benefit to wheelchair users. Allowing tens of thousands of minicabs to drive in bus lanes would also impact on the reliability of bus services and risk inconveniencing the six and a half million passengers who travel on buses each day.
Mr Justice Burton agreed, noting in his High Court judgment: "There is to my mind a clear distinction between the need of black cabs (and their passengers and the public) for them to be in the bus lanes, by way of visibility and availability of, and access to, black cabs for those hailing a cruising taxi".
He went on to note: "I consider it makes entire good sense for black cabs to be travelling in bus lanes. Minicabs just do not have the need to use the bus lane, and black cabs do".
There are around 23,000 licensed taxis in London and approximately 53,000 licensed minicabs in the capital.
Two Auckland Uber drivers are being charged for calculating fares on their smartphones.
By Sophie Lowery Saturday 10 Jan 2015 6:17 p.m
Uber, the app that links drivers to passengers wanting a ride, must use a set fare and can't use a taxi meter system.
But the company that runs the smartphone app is claiming one particular police officer is taking an unnecessarily hard line against its drivers.
Carl Thompson is a regular user of Uber. It's cheap, easy and supposed to be über-cool. But today it wasn't. His journey was cut abruptly short.
A police officer pulled over Mr Thompson' Uber taxi for allegedly operating a meter illegally.
3 News knows of at least one other case like Mr Thompson' from today.
In a statement Uber said: "In recent weeks, a police officer in Auckland has targeted Uber partners in order to […] issue fines claiming that the iPhone is being used as a taxi meter.
"This officer's actions have also put riders at risk when he ordered them to vacate the vehicles, leaving them stranded at night with no other travel options to get home."
Uber says it's filed complaints with the Independent Police Conduct Authority for the behaviour it describes as potentially dangerous and unacceptable. It's also alerted the New Zealand Transport Agency and the Minister for Transport.
But a police spokesperson told 3 News the New Zealand Transport Agency says for Uber to operate legally in New Zealand a set fare or hourly rate must be agreed on at the start of the trip.
If it's not, and the GPS on the app is used as a meter, the driver can face a fine of up to $2000 under the Land Transport Act.
Uber's not allowed to use meters because it's a private hire service, not a taxi company.
Uber has run into regulatory trouble and controversy in the United States and other countries. During the Sydney siege, Uber reportedly increased fares by as much as four times its normal rate when demand peaked as people rushed to leave the city.
But it's not enough to put off big Uber fans like Mr Thompson.

CABBIES in the Bradford district could face a tougher English language test under new rules being put forward to raise standards in the trade.
Read on the Telegraph & Argus website
New drivers will be expected to be able to chat about things like the weather or the local area before they are given a licence, if Bradford Council's proposals are approved.
There would also be new measures to clamp down on drivers exploiting a legal loophole so they can avoid Bradford's spot safety checks.
But it would be cheaper and easier to put adverts on cabs, and a host of other licensing fees would be cut.
The measures, which look set to be approved at a meeting next week, have had a mixed reception from the district's cabbies, with some saying the rules are too onerous on private hire firms, and others saying they don't go far enough.
In the current English language test, would-be cabbies are asked to read a paragraph from a book and write a receipt for a theoretical journey.
But the new rules would see this replaced with a conversation test for all new drivers.
A Council report says possible questions could include: 'What do you think of the weather recently?', 'Where did you take your last customer?' or 'How do you get from A to B?'.
It says: "The answers are not the focus, the focus is to ensure the applicant understands English and has contributed to a communication in English at a basic level."
The authority is also planning to lower many of its fees, noting that the taxi and private hire licensing service made a £30,000 surplus in 2013/14.
Another proposal is an attempt to tighten up a legal loophole that allows drivers to get licenses from other councils, meaning they aren't subject to stringent Bradford Council checks.
In November, the T&A highlighted the problem of dozens of drivers holding these out-of-district licenses, with many of them coming from Rossendale in rural Lancashire.
The practice is entirely legal – hackney carriages licensed for one area can lawfully operate as private hire cars anywhere else.
But it means Bradford's licensing enforcement officers, who carry out spot safety checks on cabs, have no jurisdiction over these drivers.
Licensing officers also believe many of these drivers are not declaring to their insurance provider that they work in Bradford, to avoid paying the city's high insurance premiums.
Now private hire firms taking on drivers with out-of-district plates will be expected to check they are up-to-date on all their safety tests, and properly insured to ply their trade in Bradford.
Khurram Shehzad, chairman of the Bradford Private Hire Liaison Service, said this placed too much responsibility on private hire operators, and not enough on drivers.
But he welcomed the idea of a tougher English test.
He said: "It is in the interests of the public, because some drivers may know how to drive but when they have a customer in the car they can't have a conversation.
"The public do ask for certain drivers. They say, 'We want a driver that can speak English'. You do get requests like that."
Shabir Munir, committee member on the Hackney Carriage Owners' and Drivers' Association, welcomed efforts to clamp down on drivers getting licenses from elsewhere.
But he said the difficulty level of the English test would have to be set very carefully.
He said: "It's a very fine line. If they make it too hard, then people will go to Rossendale and get licenses from there, and if they make it too easy, they lose customer service."
Stuart Hastings, chairman of the Keighley Private Hire Association, said: "It's not enough. What they are doing there is nothing."
Mr Hastings called for a much wider tightening of the rules, such as a higher minimum age for drivers and a lower maximum age for cars.
He said he would also like to see the Council employ more enforcement officers rather than lower their fees.
He said: "We are licensed by the Council to be public service vehicles, like buses or trains. They should actually look at us more, because there are a lot of times where we are one-to-one with a customer."
The proposals will go before councillors on Bradford Council's regulatory and appeals committee on Thursday, where they are recommended for approval.

This is an attractive recipe to serve as a main dish, and it is equally good served as a first course, when it will provide 8 portions. Serve a fresh, crisp green salad as an accompaniment, taking advantage of the wide range of leaves and green vegetables that can be eaten raw.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 to make these puffs! Just measure, mix and bake. A few spoonfuls of Parmesan adds a big boost of flavour, so no one will ever guess you've cut back on the fat.
Wraps are a quick way to roll tasty fillings into a fun-to-eat package. Take a wrap and cut it across into pieces, and you get a bite-sized pinwheel sandwich that is equally at home in a lunchbox as it is on a buffet table.
Freshly grated Parmesan, a bite of black pepper and just a hint of fresh rosemary, baked into crispy golden twists. Great to eat now or to serve to guests, and perfect to give as a gift.
This simple, easy-to-prepare snack is surprisingly rich in heart-healthy nutrients. Soft pitta breads are transformed into crisp fingers by grilling. They pair perfectly with the creamy houmous dip.
Sweet leeks, aromatic basil and savoury Parma ham combine with mozzarella cheese to make a sophisticated pizza-style topping for wholemeal muffins. For a crisp and refreshing contrast, serve with a simple salad of watercress sprigs and coarsely grated carrot tossed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
There are many versions of Welsh rarebit (or rabbit). The one here is richly flavoured with mature Cheddar cheese and thickened with breadcrumbs to add texture, and is spooned over thinly sliced red onions before being grilled until golden and bubbling. A spinach, apple and celery salad is the perfect partner.
Potato and leek cakes, flavoured with tasty cheese and fresh herbs, make a satisfying vegetarian meal served with big baked tomatoes and accompanied by a simple leaf salad. Use a floury, main-crop potato, such as King Edward, Desirée or Maris Piper, and mature Cheddar or another hard grating cheese with plenty of flavour.
Champ is an Irish dish of mashed potatoes and leeks, and here the tomato dressing adds colour as well as vitamins. Potatoes, in this dish unpeeled, contain their best source of fibre and nutrients in and just under the skin.
Crisp lettuce leaves make a crunchy and refreshing wrapper for the fruity chicken mixture.

''Son of Toadspoon'' troll slayer by WoodlandHermitWatch
©2014-2016 WoodlandHermit
one of my friend's troll slayer character from my tuesday night warhammer quest group.
his model needed repainting so i offered to do it for him as im always up to painting something a bit different, i like the challenge it offers to step out of my comfort zone a bit.
his axe has a black blade to match the grommil axe he uses in the game but i wanted to add a bit of red edging to keep it interesting.
hope yall like it!
Hum....I do not think this is your best model.
The axe could easily be improved. Instead of just painting the edges, drybrush a bit the whole thing, so it looks reddish. Paint the nails that hold the handle and the motif carved on the side.
im getting used to that typical response from you. god you would be a nightmare client for a commission painter.
Well that's not true, I usually give positive comments D: But if I think something could be improved, I say, specially when I consider you a better painter than myself.
Also, I hightly doubt I will ever comission anything, I like to paint my own stuff.
You guys crack me up. I literally laughed out loud when I read this little back and forth. Woodlander is right, you can a harsh critic but you know what, that's you and I've gotten used to it as well. You better not ever change Dgs-Krieger, your honesty keeps me working hard to try please you.

2011 Rodriguez Rohloff tandem
2008 Rodriguez Rainier Lite sport/touring
Nice bike.
Interesting drivetrain. Don't think I've ever seen anyone use the smaller chainring on a double to connect the timing chain. Great idea.
Are you pretty happy with the Rohloff? Seems like it would make for a much easier to use drivetrain on a tandem.
Looks great! Saw your bike on R&E's website. It is always fun knowing who owns the bikes you've drooled over.
1982 Merckx Campy Super Record, 1995 Merckx Campy Centaur 10, Bushnell Tandem, SOMA Double Cross
A couple of people above asked for feedback about running a Rohloff on a tandem, so here goes:
We used a Rohloff on our tandem for a couple of months. We took it off because you can only shift the Rohloff during the dead-spot of the pedaling motion - if there's any power going through the drivetrain then it won't shift, or it will at least be very hard to do so. Since we prefer to have our cranks 90 degrees out of phase, we have no dead spot, and so shifting with the Rohloff was pretty poor - all of the derailleur setups that we've had on the bike have worked better (we've had Shimano, Campy, and SRAM shifters on there and Shimano MTB, Shimano road, and SRAM MTB derailleurs). I've since put the Rohloff hub on a 29er hardtail MTB, and in that application it is awesome. I assume that if you pedal in phase on a tandem then a Rohloff would shift pretty well.
I'm also not a fan of the Rohloff for road riding because the 13.6% shifts are too large. Most 10-speed road cassettes have cog size differences of 8-12%, with some wider-range cassettes having one or two 13-15% jumps. 13.6% is more similar to the jumps made on MTB cassettes, and that is the domain it is targeted at, as well as adventure bike tourers. Instead of having a 500+% gear range, I'd rather that Rohloff made a road version with a gear range of only about 400% but had 11-12% differences between gears. Again, I've found the hub to be ideal on a MTB (especially because derailleurs get so easily knocked out of line or much worse in any technical terrain) but IMO it is not suited to road riding after you're accustomed to 10-speed cassettes.
Changing the sprockets would change the overall gearing by a constant factor, but it won't change the size of the steps between internal gears.
The appeal of clean, low maintenance, and being able to shift while stopped sounded great for a future drivetrain. I didn't know you couldn't shift while actually pedaling. That would be a major drawback if you want to keep up in the draft on a tandem.
Sounds like I will keep the old, tried and true, drivetrain.
Nice! We have the same brake setup on our tandems (2 cantilevers and rear disc). I'm okay with the braking but wondered how those Rodriquez cantilevers work for you. I considered using them before going with Shimano.

I guess you haven't tried DI2 shifting on a tandem yet, the smoothes, fasts shifts possible, on a tandem, no cables, no housing & no friction!
If anyone is interested there is a Co-Motion listed for sale with a belt drive and Rohloff!
New Hampshire craigslist
I'll bet that there are not many people who have tried DI2 on a tandem. I happen to be one of the few people who have tried Roholff on a tandem, however. With a derailleur system, whether cable-operated or electonic, the rear wheel still takes a partial revolution to move the chain from one cog to the other. With the Rohloff, this is not a factor and shifts can occur quicker than a derailleur.

Your bike is beautiful. The shaped tubing is art in my opinion. What kind of tubing is that?
Is this the bike you are thinking of putting the Compass tires on? The more I ride those tires, the more enthusiastically I want to recommend them. I don't think you'd regret giving them a shot. Plus, they would look super sweet on your Rodriguez.
2 eccentric BB's makes the tensioning both chains Tidy.
My Rohloff bikes are my favorite .. though i'm Single, so No tandem .
both 16t cog, 38t on 26" wheel. 53t on the 20" wheel ..
Im Old too so a lower High is just fine.
You're making me want to pry $120 from my wallet to try out the Compass tires....

Lithuania wants visa-free travel for Ukraine in 2013
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Ažubalis said he would make visa-free travel for Ukrainian citizens travelling to Europe a priority when his country takes over the rotating EU presidency in the first half of 2013. But he admitted that progress was dependent on Kyiv.
Ažubalis said pressure was growing on the European Commission to grant Russia a visa-free regime by the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. But he warned that such an opening to Moscow would put regional coherence in the Black Sea region in danger, saying Russia was less advanced than Ukraine in its negotiations for a deal on visa-free travel.
"Lithuania counted in our future presidency in [the first half of 2013] to a get visa-free regime for Ukraine as one of our priorities," Ažubalis said. "But now I see a lot of challenges are rising in Ukraine, and the last report which was published recently shows Ukrainian shortcomings about biometric passports and so on. So that's a big challenge for Ukraine."
Ažubalis made the statements yesterday (27 February) at a Brussels event organised by the European Policy Centre and the Poroshenko Foundation. Petro Poroshenko, one of the speakers, is a former Ukraine foreign minister and the owner of a business empire, including several confectionery enterprises, cars and bus plants, a shipyard and a TV channel.
Ukraine recently suffered setbacks in its visa negotiations with the European Union. As a precondition to visa-free travel, the EU has insisted that Ukraine establishes a state anti-corruption agency. However the initiative faces resistance in Parliament, as the Communist Party, an ally to the government, has strong positions in the country's customs agency and is reportedly resisting the initiative.
A bill to introduce biometric passports in Ukraine, another precondition for visa-free travel, is stuck in parliament.
Ažubalis made a plea for the pro-European aspirations of the Ukrainian people, which in his words were so strong, that no government could ignore them.
The Lithuanian minister acknowledged the setback at the December EU-Ukraine summit, which failed to move forward Ukraine's Association Agreement with the Union, largely due to concerns over the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The initialling procedure provided a "creative solution" to keep relations on track "until some changes in Ukraine would appear," he said. But he warned that this "pre-step to signing" could not serve as a long-term solution.
Heavy background
The Brussels conference took place on the same day that Yuri Lutsenko, a former interior minister and close ally of Tymoshenko, who was sentenced to four years in prison for embezzlement and abuse of office.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Štefan Füle called the verdict "further evidence that this is a systemic problem encompassing all aspects of [Ukraine's] judicial process". [see EU official statement]
Besides the Lithuanian minister, speakers at the conference also included Valeriy Khoroshkovsky, a Ukrainian media mogul who was appointed vice prime minister last week, and Andriy Klyuyev, an oligarch and former prime minister who now serves as secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine.
On visa-free travel negotiations with Europe, Khoroshkovsky said Ukraine had accepted all of the EU's conditions. If Kyiv were denied visa-free travel, the Ukrainians would take this as a "punishment" from the EU, he said.
"I don't see why we don't have this visa-free regime even today," he said.
EurActiv asked Khoroshkovsky and Klyuyev to comment on the alleged foiled assassination attempt against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, which took place on the same day.
Klyuyev said that he was not in a position to provide additional information on the arrest of two men in Odessa, Ukraine. The pair stand accused of belonging to a group seeking an Islamist state in Russia's North Caucasus.
"It's the investigation authorities who are now in charge and they may come up with additional details when they decide," Khoroshkovsky said.
During an annual summit in Brussels in November 2010, the European Union spelt out requirements for Ukraine to win visa-free travel to the bloc, but said any further progress would depend on democratic reforms and improvements in human rights.
Accordingly, Brussels and Kyiv agreed on a plan that requires Ukraine to improve security, border management and other policies, while giving no timetable as to when visa requirements might be lifted.
Diplomats recently told EurActiv that Ukraine's visa liberalisation process would be "different" from the one recently agreed with Western Balkan countries. The visa requirement could effectively be lifted but only in the long term, officials said.
Recently, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has made visa-free travel to Europe one of his country's top priorities.

Special Order
"How long can the Jedi remain in power?"
"How far will the Sith go to rule supreme?"
"What chance do both stand against Abeloth?"
As Luke and Ben Skywalker pursue the formidable dark-side being Abeloth, the Lost Tribe of the Sith is about to be sundered by an even greater power which will thrust one Dark Lord into mortal conflict with his own flesh-and-blood.
On Coruscant, a political vacuum has left tensions at the boiling point, with factions racing to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Suddenly surrounded by hidden agendas, treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must struggle to keep the GA government from collapsing into anarchy.
The Jedi are committed to maintaining peace and ensuring just rule, but even they are not prepared to take on the combined threats of Sith power, a deposed dictator bent on galaxywide vengeance, and an entity of pure cunning and profound evil hungry to become a god.

after nearly 3 yrs. of being a patient of this dr., i changed doctors. was immediately taken off 3 medications dr. verma had been prescribing for me. 1 swollen ankle i had decreased in size within a few days, and a fourth medication was decreased to 1/2 the amount dr. verma had me taking. blood pressure readings are better than they have been in years! am very happy i made the change. very pleased with my new primary care dr.
This doctor was rude, condescending and unethical. He misdiagnosed me, refused to refer me to a specialist for testing and tried to convince me to take heavy narcotics instead of getting the testing I needed to determine the source of my pain. He constantly made jokes about how a medicine MUST be good since its on TV, in response to my inquiries about side-affects and he prescribed me medicine that conflicted with existing medication he had already prescribed me. When I brought this to his attention, he became sarcastic and told me its the stupid pharmaceutical companies who write that stuff and to not pay any attention to it. He only wants to keep you coming into his office to pay for office visits and for him to bill your insurance company. He won't refer you for appropriate testing/diagnosis. His staff will ignore you when you ask questions or make a request. They will often not even say good bye or have a nice day.
At the last visit we where led into a dirty room with old dried blood smeared on the floor. Within minutes of the Dr. coming into the room he gets a phone call, puts his hand up saying "one moment" and not only answers the phone durning our examine he completes the whole call right in the examine room while sitting with us. This happened twice within 5 minutes ? We will never go back.
i tried to answer the phone from another doctor as i did not wanted them to feel left out,so i answered in the room as fast as i could.
Avoid this Dr...only interested in making money...by referals...and more test...most of the Drs are just like him..
i do not make money by referrals. it is done to have better quality of care

To develop a better understanding of the physical and chemical properties of various types of coal and their energy content.
Coal is a sedimentary rock that consists mostly of combustible material in the form of carbon. The carbon in coal is stored chemical energy, which when burnt, is converted to thermal energy. Most coal starts out as peat, a porous material that consists of plant materials that have been partly decomposed. If the peat is buried by sediment, it is subjected to compaction and temperature increase, which alter it physically and chemically, to eventually form coal. Increasing time, compaction, and heat result in the formation of coal types with progressively greater percentages of carbon (lignite, bituminous, anthracite). The greater the percentage of carbon in a coal sample, the greater its heat energy value.
Coal is used predominantly to produce electricity and to provide fuel for industries that require large amounts of heat. A coal burning power plant generates electrical energy through a series of energy transformations. First, coal is ignited and its chemical energy is converted to thermal energy. The heat generated is used to boil water, which creates steam. In this way, the thermal energy of water is transformed into the kinetic energy of steam. The steam rushes through a turbine, which contains a set of narrowly spaced fan blades. The steam pushes the blades and turns a turbine, which in turn rotates a shaft in a generator to produce electricity. As such, the kinetic energy of steam is transformed into kinetic energy of the turbine, which is transformed into electrical energy out of the generator.
Students observe the physical properties of peat, lignite, bituminous, and anthracite coal. They record their observations in a table. In a class demonstration, the samples are then burned. Students observe the chemical properties of the forms of coal by examining how they burn when put in an open flame. Students use their observations to rank the samples according to which might contain the most stored chemical energy.
safety goggles, hand lens, coal sample set (includes peat, lignite, bituminous, and anthracite), tongs, safety gloves, Bunsen burner
Students may observe the following:
Peat: brownish, softest of the 4 samples, dull luster, visible plant matter
Lignite: brownish-black to black, 2nd softest of the 4 samples, dull luster, some visible plant matter
Bituminous: black, 3rd softest of the 4 samples, more shiny luster, layers and cleavage
Anthracite: black, hardest of all 4 samples, semi-metallic shiny luster, conchoidal fracture

A Parameter-Free Elicitation of the Probability Weighting Function in Medical Decision Analysis
An important reason why people violate expected utility theory is probability weighting. Previous studies on the probability weighting function typically assume a specific parametric form, exclude heterogeneity in individual preferences, and exclusively consider monetary decision making. This study presents a method to elicit the probability weighting function in rank-dependent expected utility theory that makes no prior assumptions about the functional form of the probability weighting function. We use both aggregate and individual subject data, thereby allowing for heterogeneity of individual preferences, and we examine probability weighting in a new domain, medical decision making. There is significant evidence of probability weighting both at the aggregate and at the individual subject level. The modal probability weighting function is inverse S-shaped, displaying both lower subadditivity and upper subadditivity. Probability weighting is in particular relevant at the boundaries of the unit interval. Compared to studies involving monetary outcomes, we generally find more elevation of the probability weighting function. The robustness of the empirical findings on probability weighting indicates its importance. Ignoring probability weighting in modeling decision under risk and in utility measurement is likely to lead to descriptively invalid theories and distorted elicitations.

So with U12, there were some changes to the drop table in the Void. Wanted to walk you through what they are and how they are going. A little insight and opportunity for feedback into the process.
Key problems with the previous tables:
- I have no idea where to get what?
- Same, useless prime piece, over and over again.
- "Holy Ruk, I never get the ____ prime blade."
- Anytime DE adds something to the void, #3 gets increased and potentially I never see that prime gear at all.
Drop Table 2.0 process (I'm definitely continuing to look at this, so a 2.1 is possible and the point of the thread):
- Make the location table public so you know where to get what: https://forums.warfr...drop-locations/ - as said before: this will be in the codex eventually.
- Even out the probability across the board. One specific example*:
- The Orthos Prime Blade was in T2 and T3 Capture in the previous tables. The chances were 1% in T2 and 7% in T3. In the new drop table it's still in T2, but it's at 14%.
- Future proofing the void against additions, as resources/credits/fusion/key can be removed if/when there is something better. (There is a mother-load coming btw)
- Instead of getting a common prime component that you already have 10 of, you get alt resource rewards that you can actually use (so far this hasn't been good enough).
- Create a bit of a key flow – play some OD to get some T1 keys. T2 keys are alt rewards in the T1 missions, so you can use them to get to the next piece you need.
What have we seen since this change (1/2 a day in… so not enough data just yet):
- Overall crafting of prime gear has gone up, with no new gear added. Tenno ARE completing their pieces that they have been hunting for forever. I saw more Ember Primes cooking in the foundry than ever before – which brings a scalding hot tear to my eye.
- People are disappointed with getting a reward that isn't a prime piece – Working on it today!
- Have had a few reports of people getting nothing at all -- Looking into this as well.
*For the math crowd, not something you can extrapolate through all tables.

Wonderfully romping work from Phineas Newborn – and a great showcase for the harder side of his sound on the piano, something that didn't always show up on his RCA albums of the 50s! The style here has plenty of bluesy overtones – not in a cliched soul jazz way, but in an earthy mode that's natural and spontaneous – thanks, possibly, to some excellent rhythm accompaniment from the team of Sam Jones and Louis Hayes, who work with Phineas on side two of the record. Side one features Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Milt Turner – and titles include the originals "Theme For Basie" and "New Blues" – plus versions of "This Here", "Way Out West", "Four", and Bud Powell's "Celia". (OJC pressing, still in the shrink.) © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

"My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there's no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."
Skyspace at Live Oak Friends Meeting House, Houston, Texas (2000)
"That was kind of the Meeting House I always wanted to see. I guess I like the literal quality, or feeling, or sensation, in that I want to feel light physically. We drink it as vitamin D; it's actually a food. We are heliotropic, and it has a big effect on the skin. We also have a big psychological relation to light. All or most spiritual experiences, near death experiences, are described with a vocabulary of light. This quality to feel light exists, almost like we see it in a dream."

The same year he co-founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, RoboteX, Spotify, and dozens of successful technology startups. He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.
