New Superboat to Speed Up River Rescues
WSB-TV, Atlanta, Georgia USA
15 June 2011
ROSWELL, Ga. - WSB covered another river rescue last night. Johns Creek and Roswell firefighters pulled four teens from the rising Chattahoochee. Beginning this weekend, Roswell first responders will use a superboat to race to emergencies. Channel Twos Tom Regan got a first look and a ride
Regan: There are ordinary boats and then there's the hovercraft. It's sort of an all-terrain water vehicle that can get around most any obstacle in the river, giving it a crucial advantage in an emergency. The hovercraft gets its name from what it does: it rides on a cushion of pressurized air forced under the craft by a giant fan in back.
Roswell Fire Chief Ricky Spencer: The hovercraft diverts air from the engine through the channels of the craft and it disperses through these skirts through holes. And what that does is raise the craft up off the water.
Regan: Roswell Fire Chief Ricky Spencer gave me a ride on what's believed to be the first water rescue hovercraft in Georgia. It's very loud, but very smooth; top speed 35 to 40 mph. But what sets the hovercraft apart is that it rides on a pocket of air, eight to ten inches above the water line.
Spencer: On low water, our aluminum boat can only go so far. [With the hovercraft] we can travel over rocks, shallow water, sandbars.
Regan: The Chief showed me how the hovercraft glided effortlessly through shoals that would have been treacherous or impassable to an ordinary boat.
Spencer: The shoals don't exist anymore for us. Before, they were our obstacle, and we're so excited about the ability of this [hovercraft] to get up the river quicker, to take the obstacles away that we've had in the past, and make it where we can actually go up and make a difference in someone's life.
Regan: The $58,000 watercraft was purchased with the help of a FEMA grant that covered 90 percent of the cost. River watchers I spoke with were impressed:
Spectator: I thought it was really cool. It was definitely moving a lot faster than we were! I'm sure it will come in handy.
Regan: The Fire Chief tells me he'll be spending part of the summer training other firefighters in driving the hovercraft, but they'll be ready to go whenever there's an emergency.

Taking a stroll to free the mind or rapid paces, to catch the last local or the next bus, streets of India are the prime subject of visual culture because of its dynamic movement and people. Streets convey meaning through every aspect of its being. It is stagnant physically yet the elements supporting it are stunningly expressive. Indian streets are varied in nature because of the myriad cultures omnipresent. It can be a writer's muse or a directors' shot, a painters canvas or a poets thoughts, a designers problem or a beggars monetary solution. It is non-exhaustive and a power house of inspiration. Physically it differs by names and lanes but its emotional expressesion finds relevance in every form interacting with it. Whether these are vehicles, street art, barbers or posters. But do we pay attention? This book celebrates the colourful and uniquely creative visual culture of the Indian Streets. It showcases research on various related domains - on a local and global level. Finally it showcases a solution to stop people from scurrying and notice the true inspiration that the streets hold for people. Aimed to increase the sensitivity of the public, the book focuses to create a system for easy interaction between humans and the autorickshaw in the coming future.
An attempt to understand and document the rich visual culture of Mumbai streets and intercept the secrets of survival of the fifteen million souls residing in the City of Dreams through: photographs research people's perceptions direct views from surveys illustration

Mumbai, the city of dreams has always welcomed strangers and visitors into its lap for exploration. But the glossy nebulous dreams melt away the moment you try to grasp them. The city seduces commoners into its dreams and the charm of it is too seductive to let pass. Mumbai is restless, transient but the pulse of its past still runs through its streets. Mumbai encompasses all manner of paradoxical realities within its moist borders which is evident from its name transformations, from being Bombay to Bambai to Mumbai in four centuries. The fifteen million souls that inhabit this island city belong to numerous ethnic and religious backgrounds, yet they manage to communicate through diffrent tongues and diverse histories. Phase 1 of the research involved studying various streets of Mumbai through photographs and inked sketches. Intense understanding of the city's history and the transformations that affected its name was the core focus. The visuals of today bring forward a chaos and mayhem in communication. The proposal of an underlying system for better social interaction and the designing of a communication programme for the same needed thorough knowledge of the dream city's diverse history and attributes. The visuals reveal Mumbai today while the sketches attempt to recreate its history.
Linking Road in Bandra is a shoppers haven for its street cut rates and impecccable styles. It showcases the latest trends in clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. The streets are flooded with people bargaining with hawkers to get a good deal. Linking Road, Bandra, Mumbai, India. 14.02.10 | 17.00 hrs IST
Shuttling is an idea that is completely essential for survival in the big city. Mumbai Police men who are too poor to afford vehicles shuttle from one street to another taking rides by passers-by. I begin to think what a novel idea it might be to introduce this concept of sharing rides and giving lifts in the public transport domain like auto rickshaws. Every year people from around the subcontinent and indeed the world attempt to sink new roots in this city reclaimed from marshes and tidal basins, a city whose brackish soil has proved uncharacteristically fertile for people who have eccentric schemes, but above all a strong belief that they can earn themselves a better life if they put in an honest day's work. The conviction that you can make it anywhere if you can make it in Mumbai is one I recognize from the stories of Chotu, a film shuttler working in Film City at Goregaon (E), Mumbai.
Mohammad Ali Street Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 15.30 hrs IST
The brotherhood of 'shuttlers', men who help movie distributers maximize their profits by couriering film reels between theatres in the same general vicinity is truly an inspiring instinct of survival in the magnanimous Mumbai city. The shuttlers relate stories of bruised limbs and frequent brushes with the traffic police, but a unique code of honour. The main movie distribution business of Mumbai operates from Naaz building on Lamington Road. The gentle men in the city's oldest distribution business do not poach each other's territory but instead share film reels for survival by employing hundreds of shuttlers. Hence movies are scheduled at specifc timings for awaiting the arrival of reels.
Though numerous air-conditioned parlours with internationally trained hair artists have made their way into the posher streets of Mumbai, barbers present in narrow alleys and footpaths continue to don their mastery over the poor clientele. Needless to say, extra charges for that special head massage. Chor Bazaar, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 16.00 hrs IST
Over the years, the idea of Mumbai as a melting-pot city has found expression in myriad fields of endeavour, some of them sublime, some of them a little suspect. The rewards of diversity can be seen everywhere. Mumbai nurtures a multiplicity of cultures. To witness how vigorously multicultarism surges through the city's veins, consider the Dadar Phool bazaar and the 'Kal Nirnay' almanacs that have traditionally hung on the walls of the Mumbai homes. While the phool bazaar throbs with Hindu and Muslims amalgamating together to earn their next dinner, the almanac dislplays dates according to the Gregorian, Hindu, Muslim and Parsi calendars along with major and minor festivals of Judaism, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism. There is a rush to offer these embodiments of beauty to the Almighty of all religions. The streets of Dadar emanate with a spirit of togetherness in a city where violence frequently surfaces to divide people.
Flowers find their true glory as the old and new generations conglomerate outside Dadar (W) Station to sell vast quantities of garlands, loose petals or rare lotuses. Flowers which epitomize the beauty of nature become the sole bread earner for numerous such families thronging the adjacent station streets. Dadar Phool Market, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 9.00 hrs IST
Cultures, caste and religion transcend boundaries in the businesses of this fast paced city. To achieve success, in the City of dreams, interactions and networks need to formate. Then only we can dream of spaces with healthy social interactions where work amalgamates with pleasure to create strong networks in valuable information exchange. Dadar Phool Market, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 10.00 hrs IST
The sidewalks of Dadar West bustles with noise and chaos as the morning bears witness to the quintals of flowers being sold. A riot of colours and space management is evident from observations where street sellers carry the world of necessities with them in their small pouches and their handy mobile phones. Transactions occur in cash but orders over signals with some claiming their presence on the world wide web. While press and media houses become their sole form of referential advertising, the main business of the phool bazaar drives on trust. Trust of timely delivery and quality along with sharing of spaces in the narrow alleys and side-walks. The street sellers are a witness to the undying spirit of Mumbai.

Like in other space-starved cities around the world, real estate is an obsession with all Mumbaikars, rich and poor, but the cash transfusions of the new economy have driven the land market into a frenzy. This has resulted in a dramatic re-organization of the city's landscape. While the stately gothic institutions - the high court, the museum, the university - and art deco blocks of the downtown Colaba and Fort area remain intact, frentic construction has erupted down the length of the island city and far beyond. Everyone wants too see the sea and they are willing to pay exhorbitant amounts for the same.
Every day 15 million Mumbai souls, whether rich or poor, dream of a little more space in their city of dreams. Chowpatty Beach, Mumbai, India. 13.02.10 | 14.00 hrs IST
Land-use regulations have been altered to allow construction firms to build on industrial plots in the heart of the city, and on agricultural and forest land in the more distant suburbs. Housing developments for the upper middle class have sprung up in areas like Powai, Versova, Kandivali, Antop Hill and Mulund. Southern Mumbai has always remained the seat of the institutions of high culture but it is no longer the only place with interesting restaurants and well-stocked stores. Mumbai's landscape, which encourages islands of opulence amidst an ocean of squalor, is merely the physical expression of neoliberalism.
The increased supply of housing and retail space is far outstripped by demand, so a cost of buying a flat in some areas of Mumbai exceeds prices in New York. Chowpatty Beach, Mumbai, India. 13.02.10 | 14.00 hrs IST
Mumbai has always been a city of contrasts, 'unsuited for song as well as sense', as Nissim Ezkei noted in his poem 'Island'. But the realization that India's economic surge is directly responsible because of Mumbai, so much that the seventh richest person on the planet (Forbes magazine) resides in this city, it seems inexplicable that more than half of Mumbai's fifteen million residents continue to live in slums. Chor Bazaar, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 18.30 hrs IST
The Mumbai resident has always cherished eclecticism and has embraced the flavours of the world. The palate has evidently been a mix of the coolest thirst quenchers and the spiciest of chaats. Lassi at Rs 5, Dadar Station, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 13.00 hrs IST

The side walks of Mumbai are the best places to sample the city's heterogeneity. Long before food writers coined the phrase 'fusion food', Mumbai was cooking the stuff up on its streets and consuming it with a passion. The wada pao and pao bhaji are perfect examples of Mumbai's multicultural heritage, while one part has its origin in the state of Maharashtra, the pao is an european import. Mumbai's palate is also an intrinsic part of the city's audioscape. Every evening, the thoroughfares around many of the city's railway stations come alive to the clanking of griddles as street-side chefs mash up vegetables for the feast.
Tucked away in the narrow lanes of Mutton Street are hotels serving the most mouth watering biryanis and kebabs. Cooking of this sumptuous meal requires immense team work and dedication by these street chefs. Mutton Street, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 15.00 hrs IST
Sweltering heat from the summer sun and the burning coal furnace draws no reaction from Saif, the skilled assistant to the biryani chef of Sohrab Hotel on Mutton Street. The overtly noisy table fan gives temporary relief as he concentrates cutting huge kilograms of kanda (onions) and batata (potatoes) for the biryani preparations for the evening. Adjacent to this open street kitchen is the cooking area where Sohrab stands with his other assistant choosing his masalas and the right heat level. The team work and the sharing of responsibilities involved in making such huge quantities of meals is incredible. Serving the hungry of Chor Bazaar, it is a popular hangout area of street vendors and the shoppers.
In the sweltering heat of Mumbai, fruit chaats provide a relief to the scurrying public. These side walk street sellers are a boon for its cheap prices and fast service.

Mumbai gives the vibes of a modern city with criss crossing fly-overs and posh boutiques. But its realsim finds relevance in the innumerable street dwellers to whom the streets are their sweet home. Most beg for a living while others run the length and breadth of the city of dreams to find a suitable job for a better life. At one end while real estate developers continue to build skyscrapers by completely subverting the city's development plans, on the other end more slums pop up in the suburbs endangered by the Mumbai rains. It is during such a rainy afternoon of 26 July 2005 that Mumbai got destroyed. A deluge which left 447 people dead and flooded the homes of tens of thousands of people, both rich and poor. It might have paralyzed the city but not its indomitable spirit. The 26 July Mumbai rains destoyed the lives of many on the streets and left Mumbai crippled. Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 15.45 hrs IST
Hawkers add life to every street. Travelling from the distant suburbs in the locals at early hours, they conglomerate at narrow alleys and sidewalks to make a living. They epitomize the clash between those who want to turn Mumbai into a 'world-class' metropolis and those who still inhabit the older city. Though the municipality has built a five-storey hawking plaza next to Dadar Station, vendors have refused to move, pointing out that their business depends on the random transactions of people leaving the railway station. In the whirlwind of work and reaching home, the hawkers carry their world with them and sell wares at prices that accentuate savings for the general public. In a mall you might get ripped but the streets always try to be honest in their bargains.
Street hawkers are a mini scattered super market. The only disadvantage is, identifying their locations initially. I wonder the possibilities of easy reference if a directory of up-market malls, boutiques and street markets were made. Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 13.15 hrs IST

The life of streets depend on the elements it interacts with. People crowd streets depending on availability of goods and locations of buildings. Left: Vegetable vendor, Dadar Watches on display, Fort Below: Fruit Chaat, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, India.
Street sellers provide a riot of colours on display and are the lifeline of these concrete spaces. Fast paced and always upbeat, their excitement levels are unbeatable. No ratecards or fancy branding, their usp lies in their mock talk. The interactions built are minimal and at times of bargain hillarious. I begin to imagine what would life be without a baragin? More meaningful, peaceful and organized or simply non-exciting and a feeling of being constantly cheated. Hoping the answers lie with those who initiate such exciting talks which are an integral part of street life.
The discovery of superstitious beliefs in this fast paced city seems like a joke. Yet certain side walks bear witness to rare items on display.

There are some whose lives are spent under the stars trying to find a foot hold in the busy city. They are aloof, alone and sometimes eccentric. They have slowed down in their race for survival and left their existence to the streets. I really shudder to think about these individuals whose privacy has been totally destroyed. These are the people who are true in their existence away from false fallacies and hypocrisies. They are homeless in a city where the thriving business of real estate is constantly changing the skyline of this dynamic city. The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. In such a situation, it is the citizens of this dream city that can save the Mumbai meltdown by collectively sharing their resources, time, space and wealth.
The streets are a home for the homeless. A man in deep slumber on the side walks of Fort area. The area bustles with noise from surrounding bargains but it is of no concern to the homeless whose only abode in this city of slippery hope are the streets. Fort, Mumbai, India. 14.02.10 | 14.15 hrs IST
The spirit of Mumbai is immortal and its real test comes in the myriad situations of violent terrorist attacks and natural calamities that attempts to cripple this magananimous city. It is the unity of the citizens that has kept Mumbai pacy despite repeated acts of blood shed and politics.

The roadside hawkers and their make-shift shops complete with blue plastic sheets are the most accessile avenues of purchase for the public. The reason being, their presence at common access points like nearby to stations or next to tourist spots and historical monuments. They attract the customer at the accurate moment i.e. when they are returning home from office. Fort Area, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 15.45 hrs IST
Posters are informative and a strong source of advertising in today's age. But their advantages seems to take a backseat more because the amount of paper wastage it generates. Anything which exceeds its limit of aesthetics also loses its functionality. In the present times posters are being plastered at all building corners and open spaces to such extents that it kills the beauty of streets. It is a reflection of poor taste and cheap advertising. People may wonder how effective these newsprint pamphlet or posters are in advertising in today's age where the common public have no time to pause and notice. Advertising in today's age need to attract a great deal of attention. It is almost like a game of seduction. No longer do people want to read monotonous messages or telephone numbers on bright coloured paper. The audience has become more observant, intelligent and sensitive to the messages in today's age and time. The following visual below is an example of what happens when information fails to reach the masses.
This wall next to Sion area is a prime example of the visual jargon that flanks the walls of today's cities. In an attempt to communicate to the masses, it fails to deliver any information. Sion, Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 13.15 hrs IST
The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is an annual festival, usually around nine days long, held in late January or early February, in the Kala Ghoda area of South Mumbai, India. From its inception in 1999, the Festival has grown in stature and popularity, attracting visitors and participants from other parts of the country, and the world. The Festival is organised by the Kala Ghoda Association (a non-profit organisation that states its objectives as "physically upgrading the Kala Ghoda sub-precinct and making it the Art District of Mumbai�) and curated by teams handling each of the sub-festivals. The sub-festivals feature the visual arts, dance, music, theatre, cinema, literature, lectures, seminars and workshops, heritage walks, special events for children, and a vibrant street festival. Entry to all events is free to all (only restricted by the size of the venues) and costs are met through corporate sponsorship. Venues include The Jehangir Art Gallery, The National Gallery of Modern Art, the David Sassoon Library, Max Mueller Bhavan, Elphinstone College, the K R Cama Institute, the M C Ghia Hall, and the street area of Rampart Row. Rampart Row is closed off to vehicular traffic for the duration of the festival, with the entire area becoming a street mela, with food stalls, artisans selling their creations, artists who sketch instant portraits, street art installations and the like. In recent years, the Festival has expanded beyond the Kala Ghoda crescent, with events being held in Azad Maidan and Horniman Circle as well..

Street sellers provide a riot of colours on display and are the lifeline of these concrete spaces. Fast paced and always upbeat, their excitement levels are unbeatable.

While the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has become an annual mecca to see the cultural "who's who" of the city, the idea has always been for it to be democratic, allowing everyone to experience a heavy dose of local culture totally free of cost.

Mumbai is the worst hit city when it comes to water supply to its houses. While high-rise apartments arise rapidly drawing illegal water pipelines, the slums with their stark blue tarpaulin covers dig the earth to discover the precious drop.

The success of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has, arguably, encouraged the setting up of several other arts and cultural festivals at that time of the year, when the weather in Mumbai is cool and the sun sets early. These include the Mumbai Festival, the celebrated Bandra Festival, and in 2007, the Kitab Festival. In another notable divergence from set practice, Bollywood's camera rarely venture into Mumbai's streets anymore. Hindi films are most likely to be shot in Switzerland or Australia, perhaps because its too embarrassing to depict an urbanscape in which 55 percent of the residents live in slums and sidewalks of streets.

Mumbai adds more than five hundred vehicles to its narrow streets every day; it would be inaccurate to refer to the busiest commuting time as the rush hour because traffic moves at a sorry twelve kilometres per hour. Despite this, the majority of transport investment in recent decades has gone into the road system rather than into new public transport initiatives. Though construction has started on the first phase of a new metro railway system between Andheri and Ghatkopar, work seems to be progressing very slowly. The unrelenting crush ensures that every sensation is heightened to an almost surreal level. Mumbai seems noisier, more polluted and smellier than just about any other city on the planet. When the Hungarian author, Arthur Koestler stepped off te plane in 1959, he remarked, 'I had the sensation that a wet, smelly diaper was being wrapped around my head.' The unremitting pressure of the crowd has given Mumbaikars the remarkable ability to construct a bubble of privacy around themselves in the most public places. Each evening, the city's shore fills up with courting youth's displaying their yearning in full view of strangers simply because they have absolutely no place in which to be alone; married couples who live in tiny homes with joint families must also escape to parks or seasides to have confidential conversations. The BEST services and the railways are the lifeline of Mumbai City. The lack of proper planning in the road transport system of Mumbai causes commuters to wait for long hours. Below: BEST buses in Mumbai SIon Area Mumbai, India. 1.04.10 | 14.00 hrs IST
The greatest indignity that results from Mumbai's lack of privacy is to be witnessed by the railway tracks and along the coast at dawn. Half of all Mumbaikars- six million people-are forced to defecate in the open because of the criminal lack of public toilets. The city is estimated to have only 1.300 functioning public toilets - one for every 10,769 residents. Dharavi, the city's largest slum, has about one toilet stall for 800 people. If the toilets were in constant use twenty-four hours a day, Dharavi residents would still have to wait for a week to enter. According to the 2001 census, 27,220 Mumbaikars are compacted into each square kilometre. The contest for space is most acute in Mumbai trains. At peak hour, the trains are packed with atleast five thousand commuters, even though they're built for only eighteen hundred. Every day, an average of eleven people die on the railway system, either because they fall off the trains or because they're hit by passing locomotives as they cross tracks. The citizens of Mumbai need space, time and information for a better survival. With the Mumbai road transport system thinking of serious developments, the modern vehicle of Mumbai's future is the auto rickshaw to take the pressure off the tracks.
With land so scarce, landsharks are constantly on the prowl. Mumbai's real estate prices are among the highest in the world. Streets of Chor Bazaar Mumbai, India. 20.03.10 | 14.00 hrs IST
WAIT WAIT WAIT ..... but for how long? The biggest irony lies in the fact that though Mumbai is termed as a fast paced city, its biggest problem lies in its road traffic which moves at a rate of twelve kms per hour. People are waiting in traffic or eagerly waiting to catch an autorickshaw willing to take them home after a tired day's work. The following pages document the problems faced by commuters in the domain of autorickshaw transport. Their direct views through surveys and silent observations on streets.

Everytime, the numbers change, DECEPTIVELY, like narrow lanes.
The autorickshaw meter with its black body and ticking noise has been a commuters bane because of its highly corrupted readings and ill displays. The act of decipering the actual amount of payment is ambiguous in different cities. Also in low light conditions because of its dark background display, it is difficult to gauge the fare amount or unit of consumption.

A toll free NUMBER, can alleviate, the behaviour of men, under rexine spreads.
The Mumbai traffic being astonishingly slow at peak hours, a person stuck in an auto gets wrestless as there are ample opportunities of boredom. Except for waiting for the light to turn green or shout abuses at the traffic controller at the signal, the human energy gets dissipated into frustration and anger. Auto ride from Andheri to Goregaon Mumbai, India. 30.03.10 | 11.15 hrs IST
Secretly hidden, in the auto lies, DEAD SPACES that can add to functional style.
The autorickshaw has ample opportunities of advertising and can become the single largest medium for social advertising because of its connectivity and reach into the narrowest of lanes and streets of a city. Places where other public transport cannot penetrate, the auto has the potential to move ahead and spread messages for social consciousness or entertainment.

Iconic SEATS, need a change. Time to say adieu to the mundane.
Ever wondered why the upholstery of an auto looks monotonous with its standard blue or black rexine colour schemes? The seats of auto can be a great branding opportunity for corporates or a strong medium for expressing messages of social consciousness.

Mini mirror hanging out, DUAL functions it provides.
The side mirrors of an auto are originally present for checking the pieces of traffic sticking out at the back to avoid accidents.

Inferences: The responders to the online survey mainly ranged in the age group of 25-40 years. Professions studied varied people from myriad backgrounds like design, college students, software engineers, business professionals, doctors, factory workers, servants. To get an eclectic mix of the crowd, people were mainly studied from Mumbai city and a few other cities like Delhi, Pune, Kolkata. While working professionals in the income group range of five thousand to twenty thousand preferred taking an auto, commuters earning less than that preferred trains in Mumbai city with a combination of an auto. Autorickshaw was preferred over other public transport because of its ease of reach and drop next to doorstep. Among women it was preferred due to privacy and security while among men it was the time saving factor.
INSIGHTS 1. Commuters in certain areas in Mumbai are waiting endlessly for an auto rickshaw. Average time for waiting recorded is 25 mins in Goregaon area. 2. Commuters are unaware of vacancy of a rickshaw till it approaches closely, so in low light conditions every auto seems vacant. 3. Passengers are unaware of auto stands causing them to stand at main road corners.

Inferences: Passengers prefer doing a train and autorickshaw combination in mumbai to save time. Hence mostly the auto used daily by office-goers. The awareness of auto stand locations is poor as auto's are usually stopped in the middle of road's decreasing traffic speed. Mostly people crowd around bus stands and railway stations to avail an auto. Yet 46% of the survey public claim to catch auto from stands. Problems associated with an autorickshaw ranged from bumpy rides, intolerable noise from surounding, corruption in meter readings and fare amounts, inaccessibility of tariff card rates to excessive waitng for a vehicle 'willing' to go to the stated destination. Another problem was attitude of the autorickshaw drivers and the constant hunt for coins and change at the end of the journey.
INSIGHTS 4. The credibility of meter rates are questionable. 5. Deciphering auto fares is a task as it varies over months. 6. The road traffic flow in Mumbai makes auto drivers as well as paasengers irritated and bored. Attitude of drivers lack decency. 7. The reach of auto's have been poorly utilised in terms of advertising space and passenger pick up's.

Inferences: Also the unruly demand for half-return fares at night and special rates for taking auto's from areas like Thane, and Mulund to Goregaon is ever present. The Indian public is still uncomfortable with the concept of sharing an auto with strangers, especially the women of India. The main reasons for such a thought ranged from security issues to privacy. The men were much open to the concept of auto sharing as to them privacy was never an issue. The factor of saving time and money were of utmost importance to them. There were mixed views regarding the looks of the Indian autorickshaw. While some considered the colours to be iconic and striking, the others considered the design to be monotonous and old.
INSIGHTS 8. There are good opportunities for advertising space in an autorickshaw which are dead spaces at present. 9. Unavailability of a complaint or toll free helpline number regarding queries. 10. No information regarding road digressions or emergency alerts.

System Highlights: The AATO System is a new system being proposed for the autorickshaws of Mumbai. Presently it aims to do the following: 1. Saving time for a commuter waiting for an autorickshaw in the suburbs of Mumbai. 2. Better space utilisation in an autorickshaw by accomodating more passengers. 3. Integrate the concept of sharing money, space and time among the citizens of Mumbai. 4. Strengthening the security measures by recording and storing last 7 weeks of passenger travel in an auto. 5. Transform the old monotonous auto meter into a new digital meter with the concept of share fare integrated. 6. Introduce contactless smart cards with RFID technology integration. 7. Allow payment through personalised banking and credit like a electronic wallet. 8. Introduce digital signage on the AATO's for easy deciphering of vacant auto willing to share the fare from a distance. 9. Introduce informational display signages at AATO stands across Mumbai to indicate the availability of vacant and partially full vehicles. 10. To integrate faster communication of important messages across masses by utilising the auto backspace. 11. Highlight the dead spaces of autorickshaw as a new canvas for advertising for small start-ups to big corporate houses. 12. The system aims to integrate the RTO network as one cohesive unit and can be further expanded to fit into the systems of BEST, NMMT and Taxi services.

AATO System Tariff:
Passenger B : pays actually Rs 15 as he is sharing with A. He pays Rs 5 to auto driver and Rs. 10 to passenger. Passenger C : pays actually Rs 6.66 as he is sharing with 2 persons. He pays 1.66 to auto driver and Rs 5 to Passenger So, total expenditure of passengers: Passenger A = Rs (40-10-5) = Rs 25 Passenger B = Rs 15 Passenger C = Rs 6.66 Total Income of rickshaw driver: Auto driver gets Rs.40 + Rs 6.66=Rs 46.66
System Specifications:
The AATO System comprises of 4 sub-units: 1. Smart Card 2. Digital Meter 3. Information Signage (on auto) 4. Information Signage (at auto stand)
Smart Card Specifications:
The AATO Smart Card is a contactless card powered by RFID technology. Incase RFID takes time to activate it is also integrated with an ICC chip (Integrated Circuit Chip) which can process data, i.e it can receive input which is processed — by way of the ICC applications — and deliver as an output.
The card is made of plastic, generally PVC, but sometimes ABS or polycarbonate.
Dimensions are normally credit card size. The ID-1 of ISO/IEC 7810 standard defines them as 85.60 × 53.98 mm. Another popular size is ID-000 which is 25 × 15 mm (commonly used in SIM cards). Both are 0.76 mm thick.
Contains a security system with tamper-resistant properties (e.g. a secure cryptoprocessor, secure file system, humanreadable features) and is capable of providing security services (e.g. confidentiality of information in the memory). Highest level of security with a 16 digit secure crytographic code to ensure safety at all network levels.
Asset managed by way of a central administration system (AATO) which interchanges information and configuration settings with the card through the security system. The latter includes card hotlisting, updates for application data. Card data is transferred to the central administration system through card reading devices, such as AATO Meter.
Major Functions:
AATO smart cards can be used authentication, and data storage.
AATO Smart Card: CLASSIC Front Side Size: 8.6 cm x 5.4 cm
AATO Smart Card: CLASSIC Back Side Size: 8.6 cm x 5.4 cm
AATO Smart Card: STUDENT Front Side Size: 8.6 cm x 5.4 cm

AATO Smart Card: VISITOR Front Side Size: 8.6 cm x 5.4 cm AATO

Green Signal Meter activates
Smart Card-The Design:
The design of the AATO smart card proposes 4 categories targeting the various age groups: 1. CLASSIC CARD: yellow 2. STUDENT CARD: green 3. ELDERLY CARD: olive green 4. VISITOR CARD: vibrant orange
The front of each card is integrated with an RFID chip for recognition and sync with the AATO digi meters present in all AATO's. The 16 digit cryptoraphic code adds to extra security measures. To increase the attention to the rich visual culture of the streets, thin black ink illustartions have been off-sett or raise-printed on the cards.
Long-Term Cards:
The CLASSIC, STUDENT and ELDERLY cards are long term cards and store identity information of the individuals beholding it. This requires pre-activation through online internet registration or mobile phone services. Also people can register for such cards by filling up manual forms and showing an id proof at any local shops storing such cards. Manual Registrations take time and the card is delivered within 5 working days to the user. These cards can be used dually as driving licenses as it stores information on identity. The cards are valid for 3 years from the date of issue.
Short-Term Cards:
The VISITOR card is a use and throw card available at local shops and rickshaw stands. Registration is through phone services with the validification of the 16 digit temporary cryptographic code.
Major Benefits:
The smart cards are in sync with the personal banking services of the user. The fare amount can be entirely paid through the card or in amalgamation with cash. The scouting for small change gives way to digital deduction of the small amounts of change.

AATO Meter Specifications:
Basic AATO Meter
Material: Dimensions:
It acts as the GPS Receiver unit to intercept signal from the associated satellites on the AATO network and hence calculates the distances based on accurately measured distances upto 2 feet instead being connected to the dynamo of the auto which gives faulty figures. It promotes the concept of sharing autorickshaw rides by displaying individual fares and units consumed. It also displays the final destination and the vacancy remaining in the auto rickshaw. The green, orange and red indicators switch fare calculations while the auto is in movement or waiting. Also additional solar receptors absorb sun energy during day to store energy for the night. thus saving battery life of auto's. The body is made of ABS plastic or polycarbonate with a high quality LCD display panel. The rectangular version (Basic): 12" x 8" approx. The circular version (Advanced): approx. 8" diameter
The AATO meter works only after activation by the smart card of autorickshaw driver. It connects to the AATO Network to verify the vehicle license id and the meter is open for the day. Afterwhich the flashing of smart card on the meter by first passenger starts calculating the units consumed in the first part of the fare. The meter goes into waiting (orange indicator) when the auto has its engine on but does not move for more than 30 seconds.
Major Benefits:
It eliminates faulty meter readings. By displaying destination and vacancy it promotes sharing the auto fare smartly. It stores solar power to utilize at night and automatically adjusts fare according to day and night status. It indicates every second of unit consumption to avoid deceptive readings by its circular marquee. The solar receptors at the back of unit saves energy. The circular rings are instant indicators for the commuters as well as rickshaw drivers at status of hiring.
Option 1: Indicates destination and vacancy Size: 46" x 7" Mounting 2" from hood base with 0.5" M.S. Pipe painted K: 75%
Dotted Pictogram Study Option 2: Indicates gender, time, destination and vacancy Size: 38" x 12" Mounting 2" from hood base with 0.5" M.S. Pipe painted K: 75%
Initial rough sketches
Signage Specifications:
It acts as the GPS Receiver unit to intercept signal from the associated satellites on the AATO network and displays the destination it is going to. It also displays the vacancy of the Auto so that commuters can easily observe this sign.
The body is made of ABS plastic or polycarbonate with a high quality LCD display panel which is shockproof, weather proof and tamper proof. The signage is mounted on the auto front with a 0.3� mild steel pipe.
Dimensions: Viewing distance:
Size Option 1: 46 inches x 7 inches Size Option 2: 38 inches x 12 inches 10m - 75m
The digital signage is partly supplied by the auto battery and majorly by solar energy as it stores power during the day and utilizes at night. After the meter is activated and the destination and vacancy is registered on the meter the external signage displays this information for the ease of commuters on the road.
Major Benefits:
The bright LCD display with pixel font provides clear display of destination name and vacancy so that commuters can easily understand the availability of the approached auto for sharing or not. It removes the problem of stopping every auto on its way irrespective of its vacancy or not. Thus it saves time and petrol consumption of the autorickshaws.
AATO INFORMATION SIGNAGE (at specific stands)
Signage Specifications:
The signage at specific AATO stands indicates the presence of autorickshaws waiting for passengers looking to share an auto. It is designed to indicate the least vacant auto first (+1 indicating room for only one more passenger) and the absolutely vacant at end. It has capacity to indicate 4 information units with the license number plates of auto's.
Signage frame made of mild steel which is P.U. coated K:75%. The LCD display works on a 16 dot/module scheme with the colours RGB capable of displaying high luminance and 16777216 kinds of colors.
54 inches x 25 inches, Mounted on 0.3� thick mild steel pipe painted K:75% at a height of 5.75 feet from ground level.
It works in sync with the AATO meter and network. The moment the rickshaw driver flashes his smart card cum licnese and declares the auto open for entry to chosen destination, the signage at the stand flashes the information with the license number. Sometimes the first user reserves an auto and is waiting for 2 more people to share so the standing signage displays +2.
Major Benefits:
It rapidly indicates the vacancy of auto's available for sharing at a particular location helping passengers to save money and time.
The signage options proposed are categorised into mobile signage (that moves with the auto rickshaw) and destination signage (that remains fixed at the proposed AATO stands). Interconnected through the GPS system it proposes to use Aztec code for coding the various signages.

Logo Grid
The AATO logo amalgamates the forms of the auto and the street lamp. Street lamps are an integral part of uniting streets transcending physical boundaries of states while the auto form is the key element to the development of the system.
The 'Streets Speak' logo is hand sketched integrating the electric poles and the curves of the meandering streets. The word 'STREET' is given a condensed font treatment with elongated ascenders for the 't'. The 'S' is made slightly bolder to integrate the curves of streets yet maintaining the legibility and readability of letter 'S'. The word 'SPEAK' is written in a flowy cursive format and spaced out with increased kerning to balance with the word 'street'.
Brainstorming on Streets Speak logo
Streets Speak logo - Digitzed
Logo Grid
The 'Streets Speak' logo option 2 integrates an essential element of the streets that is the presence of crows sitting on hanging wires . The crows are in conversation about the changing atmosphere of streets and is a metaphor to the lack of time for interactions and conversations among people due to the busy mechanical work schedule of the present times.
Crows in conversation are a metaphor to the people on streets who are stuck in scheduled time frames and lack chances for interactions or conversations.
Conclusion The exploration of the streets and culture of Mumbai opened avenues of thought and design opportunities for the city. It paved areas of thought where the welfare of the public finds focus through alleviation of frustration while waiting for autorickshaws in the suburbs of the city. While studying the streets, though the visual culture heightened the senses, what lacked was the sensitivity towards its observation. The streets are visually rich but people have no time for observing them as they are busy waiting for a public transport. The problem lied not in communication strategies but the core system of RTO Mumbai. Hence, the choice of developing a system for the welfare of street culture promotion was taken forward. The main aim of the system was to save time, money and space through sharing of auto rickshaws on the streets of Mumbai. The poem that follows summarizes the feelings this project generated in me. It gave me immense potential to experiment with photography, copy-writing and illustrations.
Have you ever wondered why? Streets are always filled with life. Across cities, pavements and lanes Vendors sit to sell and gain. Every street has something to say, But do we have the time to spare? Camouflaged behind the gravel and rocks, Lies one-legged chotu's carpet shop. Or in the narrow alleys of Chor Bazaar Educated thieves sell porcelain cups. On a sweltering hot day, Through meandering lanes, Red juicy watermelons, Grab our attention. Outside the stations of Dadar West, Flowers are sold at whole-sale rates, Quintals of flowers and petals galore, Are stored in baskets and poured to show. Tall buildings and a busy landscape Makes Mumbai The city of dreams and stakes. In every twist and turn of the city roads A concrete jungle is paving hope. The blue tarpaulin shacks Stare from below At their tall children Who are destroying them slow. Cars honk, traffic waits, Meters change with rapid pace. At peak hours on congested roads, People eagerly wait for a public transport. Lets stop for a while and look around, And observe better the sights and sounds. Listening to streets speaking once in a while, Can help solve problems, Which are camouflaged by malice and vice.

McDaniel led all scorers with 18 points, on 6-of 12 shooting fro the field, while pulling down a game-high 10 rebounds, and she dished out a game-high six assists. Hood on the other hand, had 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field, and also pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds. Felicia Wijenberg was the third Torero in double figures, as she recorded 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and she recorded four rebounds. As a team, USD shot .500 from the field and out rebounded the Waves 46-31.
In the first half, The Toreros came out firing on all cylinders, as a pair of Wijenberg free throws ignited a 6-0 run over the first 2:27 of action, forcing the Waves into a timeout. USD continued to keep the pedal to the medal and would then go on a 11-6 run to take their first double-digit lead of the game at 17-6 on a McDaniel jumper with 13:58 to go.
Pepperdine then managed to score the next five points to pull back to within six, but that is as close as they would get for the remainder of the game, as a Hood lay-up then sparked a 8-2 San Diego run to give USD back the momentum and a 25-13 lead with 11:01 to go. USD would then gradually begin to pull further and further ahead and led by as many at 20 in the first half, before settling for an 18-point lead at the break.
In the second half, USD would quickly build back up a 20-point lead on a McDaniel free throw with 14:17 to go, and never looked back. The Toreros completely dominated the second half of play and led by as many as 30 on a Malina Hood lay-up with 4:27 to go. USD then cruised their way too a 71-50 victory to complete a season sweep of the Waves and hand Pepperdine their ninth consecutive loss.
For the Waves, Ea Shoushtari led the scoring effort with 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field, and she pulled down six rebounds. As a team, the Waves shot .345 from the field.
The Toreros will return to action on Thursday, as they head up to Los Angeles for a 7 p.m. game against Loyola Marymount University.

We present a new matrix-free method for the large-scale trust-region subproblem, assuming that the approximate Hessian is updated by the L-BFGS formula with m = 1 or 2. We determine via simple formulas the eigenvalues of these matrices and, at each iteration, we construct a positive definite matrix whose inverse can be expressed analytically, without using… (More)
In this work, an efficient training algorithm for feedforward neural networks is presented. It is based on a scaled version of the conjugate gradient method suggested by Perry, which employs the spectral steplength of Barzilai and Borwein that contains second order information without estimating the Hessian matrix. The learning rate is automatically adapted… (More)
A new method for the computation of the global minimum of a continuously differentiable real–valued function f of n variables is presented. This method, which is composed of two parts, is based on the combinatorial topology concept of the degree of a mapping associated with an oriented polyhedron.

Joash Offering 2017+
In 1962, the leaders of the church suggested a special offering to fund unusual expenses and special projects. Immanuel responded by bringing a tremendous love offering to Christ to meet those needs. It was a great success, and a new tradition was begun. Since that time, Immanuel has received a Joash Chest Offering in June of each year. This offering is used to make needed repairs and updates to our physical plant and operations.
Our 2017 Offering Goal is $200,000 to be designated as follows:
Preschool/Children's Department and Technology Upgrades
Our fastest growing demographic at Immanuel continues to be growing families. We are seeing more families than ever utilize our preschool and children's ministries. The environment and technology upgrades will help guests and members alike with a quick, easy, and secure check-in process as well as release barriers to future growth in our family ministries. Preschool Area $30,000 || Children's Worship Area $24,300 || iKIDS Welcome Area $9,300
Church Wayfinding
We have been blessed with the opportunity to grow and expand our physical campus. Because of this, our building has become difficult to navigate, especially for guests and community members visiting our campus for the first time. For continued growth to occur and to assist our guests, visitors, and members to Gather, Grow, and Serve at Immanuel, a professional map of our facilities and grounds will be created. Professional Maps with Aerial and 3D Imaging $12,000
Our physical campus is one of our largest and most important assets. With an again building, technological advances in energy, and church growth come many projects. Each of the following facility improvements will ensure Immanuel remains good stewards of the resources entrusted as well as maintain our influence in Lexington and Central Kentucky. Worship Area Outside Lighting $9,000 || Replace 10 HVAC Heat Exchangers $15,400 || Paving Lots for Additional Parking $100,000

Cash Giving+
SecureGive is digital giving made simple allowing you three ways to give:
1. Online – It's one-click giving from the convenience of your home or office.
2. Mobile – The power of giving using your smart phone with the SecureGive app.
3. Giving Kiosk – Just drop by Connection Point and use the SecureGive iPad to quickly make your financial transaction.
Non-Cash Giving+
Just what is a non-cash gift? Anything that is not cash– items like stocks, real estate, business interests, retirement plans, estate gifts, gift cards, vehicles, boats, cell phones, laptops, game consoles, electronics, gems, precious metals, commodities, business inventory, business equity/income, a charitable gift annuities, etc.
Advantages of non-cash giving – There are many, but the most significant advantages are:
1. Bigger Tax Deduction with full contribution credit of your gift to the donor.
2. Eliminate or significantly lesson your capital gains tax
Made easy – Immanuel has always been able to receive such gifts, but they were a bit complicated for the donor and recipient to process. Well, believe it or not, non-cash giving to your church has become a lot easier for you and the recipient.
To help you understand the idea of a non-cash gift, please take a moment to watch this short video entitled "The Power of Asset-Based Giving" and how this can easily work for you and Immanuel or read over this short 2-page document.
Types of non-cash giving include:

Audited Financial Statements+
Anyone who gives a gift to Immanuel is making a personal investment in the mission and vision of the church. It's a Kingdom investment trust relationship, and we take that trust very seriously.
We want donors to know that the dollars they give get directly to the mission of Immanuel, which is to lead people to Jesus and nurture them in their faith. Our strategy to do that is to gather, grow, and serve. Because of this, every year Immanuel purposely budgets for a full audit of its books.
Our auditor tells us that 75% to programs and 25% to administration is what non-profits should strive to attain. We think you will be happy to know that in 2015, program dollars accounted for 88.14% of dollars given, while only 11.86% went to administration. In 2014, program dollars accounted for 87.31% while 12.69% went to administration. In 2013, it was 83.86% and 16.14% respectively. As you can see, we continue to improve on how dollars donated get to our core mission. We work hard to make sure this happens each and every day.
Our financial statements "present fairly" (an accounting term which means things are presented accurately) the financial position of Immanuel. In other words, we have another "clean" audit opinion again this year. You can read this from our auditors on page 3 of our audited statements.
If you are looking for a church that is truly putting your dollars to its mission, you will find no better place than Immanuel. Your investment is in good hands here thanks to a dedicated staff, healthy finance committee oversight, and a commitment to our mission.
If you should have any questions about our audit or would like to talk to someone about giving to Immanuel in any way (cash, stocks or other non-cash items), please feel free to contact David Bourne, Church Administrator.

Any information is always understood first of all according to the framing through which we see information.
So for example, any political information is understood primarily based on the framing, and these days the most common framing is a combination of two concepts:
- "personalization", and
- "us versus them"
That is to say, any bit of political information, any point or counterpoint, on any topic, tends to be understood in terms of person A and person B, and, A versus B, rather than in terms of the meaning of the information, and the societal context within which the information matters.
American media perpetuates this framing, so thoroughly and so relentlessly that one can understand that media does this as if that's its job.
So every bit of information, every story, every thing and every idea, these are all framed through the lens of "Trump" and "Clinton", and "Clinton versus Trump".
It should be easy to see already that even the possibility of meaning evaporates, because of this framing. So in a very real sense, the job of American media is to annihilate meaning. And this of course, annihilates humanity.
So I give here a couple of examples.
George Clooney is slated to star in a movie glamorizing The While Helmets http://theduran.com/george-clooney-comes-out-in-support-of-isis-al-qaeda-terrorist-organization-the-white-helmets-calls-them-heroes/
I shared this article on Facebook, complaining that this movie will exist, and yes, indeed sad that Clooney will star in it. Clooney's a good actor. Put aside The Monuments Men, for which he was partly responsible, which surely nearly has to be the greatest pile of shit ever put to film, but nonetheless…
To this, someone replied,
"George is a movie actor, not a sage of the era. Get over it/"
Here's my answer:
I'm not personalizing it. I never do. If Hollywood is going to glamorize Al Qaeda and US war of aggression and regime change by proxy, then it's doing that for a reason. The reason is that Hollywood is the sage of an era. It operates that way, with purpose. Of course Hollywood operates through persona, through persons, actors. So to that extent it's personalized. Actors act as the voice of the sage of an era. This sage is illegitimate. This era, illegitimate
The second example is the US war of aggression in Ukraine.
After years of planning and preparation, the United States implemented its coup d'etat in Ukraine, in February 2014. This shocked me at the time, because this goes way beyond anything that even Stanley Kubrick could have imagined in terms of American aggression even at the height of the Cold War. It should have shocked you too, and still should shock you. Here's an analogy describing what it would look like to Americans if the tables were turned: https://dagsljus.wordpress.com/2017/04/24/philadelphia/
My shock and opposition to this American war policy dates to the day of the coup, in February 2014. My opposition to this American war, and opposition to the series of American wars in the middle east running through both Bush and both Obama administrations, and continuing now with Trump, has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump wasn't even a candidate for political office in February, 2014. So his opinion on the US war in Ukraine, and his opinion on US demonization of Russia, if he as an opinion, has nothing to do with my opposition to these wars, nor does Trump have anything to do with the meaning of these war policies, nor with the human context within which these wars of choice and aggression exist.
Framing these wars in terms of personalities, Clinton or Trump, or as "Clinton versus Trump", or as "Democratic Party versus Trump", is infantile, and meaningless.
Your interest in the issues should predate your interest in any political persona or party.
Loyalty to Party and adherence to political "thought" as "personalization" and "us versus them" is the road to the annihilation of thought and meaning.
The Democratic Party, which I voted for in every election from 1986 through 2008, has since then transformed itself into a Party that's more pro-war than Dick Cheney. I'm not following the Democratic Party down that road, and I couldn't care less for any of its personalities. Likewise for the other Party.
And Trump?
My outspoken opposition to American wars predates Trump's existence as a political figure by years. If Trump happens to say things that align with my anti-war views, good; he agrees with me sometimes, not the other way around.
It's the ideas and the policies about which I form my views and my agreement or disagreement, not the personalities or the parties.
The personalities and the "us versus them" framing?
I couldn't care less.
