4th Annual Adventure Travel Development Index
Switzerland and Chile top annual adventure rankings
Washington -This year's Adventure Tourism Development Index (ATDI), published by The George Washington University, the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) and Vital Wave Consulting reveals that Switzerland and New Zealand topped the rankings on sustainable adventure tourism for developed nations while Chile ranked first in the category among developing nations for the first time. According to the index, three new countries moved into the top 10 developing nations list, including Poland, Hungary and South Korea.
"Now that we are in our 4th year of study we are able to see more in the way of trends," said Kristin Lamoureux, visiting assistant professor of tourism and hospitality management at George Washington. "The repeated appearance of Switzerland and New Zealand in the top three for example, along with several countries dropping in scores, confirms the importance of effective management."
Now in its 4th year, ADTI offers a ranking of countries around the world based on principles of sustainable adventure tourism and is calculated through a combination of expert survey data and quantitative data gathered from international indices. The study is published in the ATTA's research center.
"I was surprised to see the Republic of South Korea in the top 10 among developed nations," said Vital Wave Consulting's Christina Heyniger who originated the index concept. "The ATDI emphasizes entrepreneurship and South Korea had good scores in that area in the past; what pushed them into the top 10 this year was improvements in sustainable development policy, safety and health."
The top 10 developed and developing countries in 2011 are as follows:
'ñÝDeveloped Countries: Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Austria, Sweden, Japan*
'ñÝDeveloping Countries: Chile, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Israel, Estonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Poland, South Korea*, Hungary*
*New in 2011 to the top ten
The ATDI ranks countries based on 10 key touristic value pillars including sustainable development policy and entrepreneurship, with added weight given to entrepreneurship. Scores are not a reflection of a country's current popularity or visitation numbers for adventure travel, although in some cases a country's ranking does correlate with those factors.
"The findings in this report drive forward our firm belief that all sectors of the adventure travel industry must work together to achieve development and cultural and environmental protection goals," said Shannon Stowell, president of the ATTA. "Countries like Switzerland, New Zealand and Canada can provide models for developing countries as well as continue to innovate and push the boundaries further. It is encouraging to see Chile's rise to number one; their stable economy, wealth of adventure activities and dedication from their tourism boards on nature-based travel, indicate an understanding of the long-term value of well-managed adventure travel."
With the goal of promoting and informing sustainable development of tourism, the ATDI was created to support entrepreneurs and governments who want to create and market sustainable adventure tourism products and services for the benefit of communities and the environment.
NOTE: In the absence of a generally accepted classification system for countries, the ATDI ranks countries according to their UN classification as 'developed' or 'developing.'

Medieval Bruges is to get its own underground beer pipeline
| updated at xx
An underground beer pipeline is to be installed beneath Belgium's medieval city of Bruges.
The idea behind it is to cut the number of lorries carrying beer through the city's cobbled streets.
Around 500 tankers will be taken off Bruges' roads each year by the pipeline which will be made from high quality plastic.
"This is stronger than a steel pipe. It's really very strong. So we are quite confident that no leaks or illegal tapping points will be there," said confident brewery owner Xavier Vanneste
The pipe will link De Halve Maan brewery to a bottling plant 3km away and will be capable of carrying 6,000 litres an hour.
It will take will take 10 to 15 minutes for the prized liquid it to reach its destination.
The decision enables the brewing of beer on the same Bruges city centre site where it has continued for 500 years.
The project, the cost of which hasn't yet been revealed, is due to begin this year.

As enterprises work to rapidly embrace the mobile revolution, both for their workforce and to engage more deeply with their customers, the pressure is on for IT to support the tools needed by their application developers. Mobile application developers are working with a massive variety of technologies and platforms, but one trend that stands out is the rapid adoption of NoSQL database engines and the use of Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platforms and services to run them.
Gartner has predicted that by 2017, 20% of enterprises will have their own internal mobile app store, meaning that enterprises are deploying both commercial and custom applications to their workforce at increasing speeds. There's no denying the massive growth in mobile applications within the enterprise.
As for consumers, Portio Research claims that the worldwide mobile app user-base stood at almost 1.2 billion at the end of 2012 (and forecasts a nearly 30% CAGR through 2017). That growth is driving a many enterprises to put customer mobile experience front and center in their marketing and customer service plans. Users are now expecting to interact with a company through their mobile devices.
The question for a company isn't if they need to deploy mobile applications, but how to do it most effectively. An on-premises Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform, that supports a variety of NoSQL database technologies, can help your enterprise quickly respond to the challenge.
Mobile Causes Significant Issues for Data Services
Enterprise applications are largely about data: accessing data from anywhere and performing transactions that effect data. This is true for both consumer applications and workforce applications. While many of the lessons we have learned from our web-based systems apply to mobile apps, there are some interesting new challenges in the way that we manage our data.
Latency – First and foremost, mobile apps need to be designed for highly latent network environments. While some interactions may be over wifi, its very likely that your users will end up trying to complete some critical transaction at a time when their device is either struggling to get a cellular signal or dealing with traffic congestion on the carrier's network.
Scaling – Next is the problem of scale. Mobile applications, especially customer-focused, are hopefully being deployed to increase customer engagement with your company. This increase in usage leads to increased demands on your backend systems. You need to be prepared for this by choosing architectures that will be able to rapidly scale as use grows. This is true up and down the stack, but particularly true for your database layer.
Agility – Successful mobile experiences require rapid feedback loops. The applications need to evolve as you receive feedback from your users, taking the form of both enhancements and whole new features. With that demand for agility comes a significant concern about how to handle rapid data model changes.
Multiple App Versions – If a mobile application is successful, mobile app developers quickly find that they are required to support multiple versions of the application. This is where the demands placed on your data model due to the need for agility are compounded. Especially for customers, it's simply not acceptable to frequently drop support for the previous version(s) of your app. Your data management strategy needs to account for this multi-model reality from the start.
The Rationale for NoSQL Databases in a Mobile App World
Relational databases remain the most used database type within the enterprise today, but mobile application developers are frequently selecting a document-centric NoSQL database engine, such as MongoDB and Couchbase, to be the heart of their application's backend infrastructure.
The reasons for this frequent choice is due to the architectural traits of these database systems. While there are always many ways to engineer around a particular problem, and each NoSQL database engine certainly has its own pros and cons to consider, some of the features common to many NoSQL database engines directly address the issues that mobile application developers are facing:
- Document-centric data access can reduce the effects of latency by reducing the time it takes for the back-end system to return a complex data structure
- The horizontally scaling architectures of these database engines can easily grow to match user demand
- Embracing lightweight data representations like JSON documents can make app dev agility much easier, especially if the document format can be easily consumed on a variety of platforms (different mobile development frameworks and even for the company's standard website)
- Schema-less database design makes supporting multiple versions of your applications easier for the developers
The Operational Perspective
After a development team has made the choice of their preferred database engine, the next question for an organization is how they will operationally support this new data service. Operations teams are being challenged to quickly implement the required database environment in a way that will both meet the needs of the application development team and meets their own need to ensuring that the production environment lives up to the promise the company is making to it's users.
Although these challenges are shared by non-mobile systems, mobile applications force operations teams to confront the following issues:
Operationalization of New Technologies – Many corporate IT departments simply don't have experience in their DBA organization with NoSQL database engines, and the explosion in the number of applications they are supporting is continuing to grow.
Data Locality – The operational perspective for mobile applications needs to always consider questions of data locality. The deployment architecture needs to ensure that the data is in a secure location and that the application's server-side systems are as close to the data storage as possible to help eliminate as much back-end latency as possible.
Resiliency and Availability – If mobile is about increasing user engagement, then there is an implicit promise being made to those users that the service will always be there when they need it. Operations teams need to ensure that they are able to achieve SLAs far greater than the typical internal system has to achieve.
How On-Premises (or Hybrid) DBaaS Helps
How does Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) fit into all of this? DBaaS solves a number of challenges for both the operations team and the application developers. Further, a DBaaS platform that supports multiple database technologies and choice of infrastructure deployment targets gives both groups significant benefits.
A multi-Cloud, multi-engine DBaaS platform can provide:
Infrastructure Choice – Both the latency and data locality considerations can be addressed by a sufficiently robust DBaaS platform, by allowing application owners (devs and / or ops) to deploy database services into whatever infrastructure is most appropriate for that specific service. For example, developers could deploy dev/test systems into a public cloud environment, while the production version of the application can be deployed into a private cloud (or even bare-metal server farm).
Database Engine Choice – Giving application development teams a chance to select from multiple database technologies doesn't have to be a point of stress for the operations team. DBaaS platforms enable this choice, while giving the operations team an automated provisioning and management tool that provides a consistent high quality operational experience for the diverse environment.
New Technology Operationalization – As new database technologies rise to prominence, and are embraced by developers, operations teams should be in a position to bring these new technologies into their environment easily. By using a DBaaS platform, the operations team gets the benefit of reducing their training burden for each new technology, and the developers benefit from getting access to new technologies faster than could be otherwise achieved.
Support for both NoSQL and Relational Databases – While many mobile applications will be built on top of NoSQL database engines, some will be built on relational databases. DBaaS can allow the organization to support both types of data services.
Enable Agility – DBaaS provides some powerful automation functions that can make life much easier for an application development and operations team. By aligning the database management processes with the application delivery model, teams will reduce friction in the app delivery pipeline.
More and more companies are looking to microservices as an architectural pattern for breaking apart applications into more manageable pieces so that agile teams can deliver new features quicker and more effectively. What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply "build, ship, and run," which changes ho...

It's probably been done a few times before, but it's really neat to be able to control an Etchasketch with a couple accelerometers.
I'm trying to figure out exactly how to wire up this exact scheme to Arduino …. any better images of the setup .. and perhaps a bit of code in Arduino to get things going?
Great project!

As the first wave of baby boomers edges toward retirement, a growing body of evidence suggests that they may be the first generation to enter their golden years in worse health than their parents. While not definitive, the data sketch a startlingly different picture than the popular image of health-obsessed workout fanatics who know their antioxidants from their trans fats and look 10 years younger than their age.

Meet Natasha Verma: UT Graduate at 17
Talk about precocious. Natasha Verma, 17, Life Member, graduated Friday with degrees in broadcast journalism and biology. The Victoria native took her first college class at age 11 and hasn't looked back since. On the Forty Acres, Verma founded her own talk show and breezed through double-major requirements in three years. She'll soon move to New York City to start a master's in broadcast journalism at Columbia. We asked Verma about the secret to her success.
The Alcalde: Why did you decide to start college so early?
Natasha Verma: I'm the type of person who's always looking for a challenge, and high school wasn't it. So I just did college and high school at the same time. When I earned my high school diploma, I also got an associate's degree in science from Victoria College. I encourage anyone who wants a challenge to think outside the box and go for it. It just takes hard work and initiative.
Q: Why UT?
A: I've always had a passion for broadcast journalism, and UT is the place to go to study that! I started UT's morning talk show, Good Morning Texas, on Texas Student Television. Producing that show has been an amazing experience. At SXSW, I've interviewed Will Ferrell, Blake Mycoskie (the guy who founded TOMS shoes), and Jon Landau (the producer of Avatar).
Q: What did you talk about with Will Ferrell?
A: His new movie, Casa de Mi Padre. He was goofy.
Q: Did you feel you fit in at UT, being so young?
A: Oh, absolutely. I have really supportive friends and family who believe in me. And I look older than my age, so that helps.
Q: How did friends react when you told them your age?
A: They say things like, 'Oh my god, seriously?' People are speechless when they find out. But I'm mature, I prove myself, and I work hard, so it's not really a big deal. President Powers did send me a personal letter saying congratulations, though. That was a great example of why I love UT.
Q: What's your ultimate goal?
A: I'd love to start my own show on television or online, or work as a media producer. I want to travel the world and tell people's stories.

EV Opportunities for Electric Companies
Strategies for Electric Companies to Maximize the Value of Plug-In Electric Vehicles
July 12, 2016 - 2:00 pm EDT
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) represent a significant opportunity for electric companies in many world regions to increase desirable load, which can increase household energy consumption by 50% or more. With the proper incentives and management, PEVs can be charged at times of lower peak demand to increase baseload power. Emerging communications standards enable PEV charging to be synchronized with renewables generation. Because the load is somewhat discretionary, PEVs can be combined with stationary storage and distributed energy resources (DER) into demand response and other grid services.
