Re: [carfree_cities] Getting there - via assymetric churn
Expand Messages
- The large plans are important over an extended period but first of all the
act of "appreciation" (Geoffrey Vickers "Art of Judgement: A Study in Policy
Making") is required which gradually permeates the professions and the
political classes and then as the decades proceed in a thousand different
ways and with awareness of cross-cutting issues the change permeates
behaviour and attitudes and becomes part of a new common sense. I shan't
live to see it but this is only germination time for carfree cities. Big
plans are anathema, big dreams of course are not.
This quote from a Transport Planning Society meeting at the UK Institution
of Civil Engineers, 22.7.1999 catches the spirit of policy makers cueing a
multiplicity of effects based on accumulating individual choices (Zen and
the Art of Transportation Policy?):
"... If we want to encourage a reduced use of cars and greater use of
alternatives - which isnt the whole strategy, but is certainly part of it -
the concept of
changing behaviour needs to be very carefully defined, because behaviour
is changing
radically all the time, sometimes for reasons which are very distant from
transport policy.
Thats where the Guardians mums manifesto is right and wrong (a reference
to the UK newspaper
which ran a story about a mother trying to walk her children to school in
London traffic). Of course expecting
somebody to rearrange the complexities of domestic schedules overnight is
unrealistic. But
that same person will - on their own initiative - have to rearrange their
own schedule
drastically every time one of the children starts school, or changes school,
anybody else in the
household changes job. Domestic and work constraints are incredibly binding
at any moment
of time - at all moments of time - but they change over time and thats what
makes it possible
to intervene.
I would say that the only successful pathway to substantial change in
behaviour at the aggregate level is by intervening to secure an asymmetric
pattern of churn.
It means that we should stop talking in terms of encouraging people to stop
driving and start
using public transport - but seeking to increase a little the numbers of
people who are already,
every year, doing exactly that in huge numbers, and reducing a little the
numbers of people
who are already, every year, doing exactly the opposite, in equally huge
Those are two quite separate decision processes, and they have to be
targeted separately. The irony of it
is that our standard models do not even recognise the existence of either
The significance of this approach - broadly - is that changes are bigger,
and easier, but slower,
than has been traditionally assumed. Now if thats true - and of course you
may not agree with
this - but if it is, then it does have a profound importance for the
assessment of success, and
for the setting of realistic targets, and for the policies that we have to
set in place now in order
to secure effects later." ....

Editor's note: Yesterday we announced four new ways to help teachers interact their courses utilizing Google educational tools. The general public college monopoly, headed by the National Education Affiliation, is the best impediment to competition and reform and will struggle tooth and nail to protect their turf and the view that kids finally belong to the state rather than the parent. On the other hand, the common expertise of households, teachers, and administrators forms the premise of what does work in education. Mapping federal, state, and local policy networks, she reveals town's landscape has been reshaped by a strategic enterprise to privatize public education.
It's exhausting for a person to consider that zoos could be beneficial for human education when they are fixated on the concept animals in zoos are struggling and dwelling an abysmal existence. Online education can be extra useful for the kids who are affected by social anxiety dysfunction, who find it troublesome to get together with other kids; online studying platform is admittedly going to assist them out, as a result of they no must attend any physical lessons and lectures classes. I'm from the Jamaican nation side and we see folks as individuals and of course you might be revered based mostly educational level but no one appears at me negatively here. President-Elect Donald Trump's new Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, is the very best decide within the history of the Division of Education since its inception, on this veteran teacher's opinion.
There are also a number of cash-themed crosswords, jigsaw puzzles, coloring and matching games for youthful kids to play. The College of Washington wouldn't shut for nearly any form of terrible weather, the city would have to be in flames or have an enormous earth quake earlier than they'd cancel. Nobody took a time to touch upon the structure and content of each the normal and K-12 methods of education. Coming to you from the Canadian Maritimes, Educational Know-how and Cell Studying is an educational blog dedicated to curating, reviewing and sharing EdTech instruments and cell apps. As an editor, I focused primordially on the spherical ups promoting and presenting relevant hyperlinks to important subjects typically based on education. It is a good way to study extra in regards to the various educational and developmental advantages a selected toy can provide a toddler.
That is seen in the report given by the spiritual director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, news report on December 2014. PBS Children hosts some terrific educational materials for kids and their Between the Lions studying games and interactives are among the best. If the college has educated each pupil, and dad or mum, on this before the primary day of faculty, then every scholar has chosen that type of education.
He's chair of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance, a member of the Steering Committee and former co-chair of Barrier-Free Canada, and the chair of the Toronto District Faculty Board's Special Education Advisory Committee. Our first few months in Trumpistan will undoubtedly give rise to much political shifting and re-alignment; solely time will inform how that will shake out in the education biz.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?
We need to move beyond the shock and titillation of sex crimes. We need to move beyond any scintilla of belief that some men—elite economists, for example—couldn't possibly be perpetrators and some women—prostitutes, for example, or wives—couldn't possibly be victims. Haven't the scandals involving Catholic priests, Protestant ministers, Peace Corps workers, heads of state, and UN Peacekeepers taught us at least this? Haven't the statistics and personal accounts and visual evidence of the sexual victimization of half of humanity—from infant girls to the most fragile elderly women—taught us at least this? The ubiquity of sexual violence points to some very stark realities about the mundane lives of "ordinary" women and girls, and men and boys.
William Simmons and Michelle Tellez conducted a study in Arizona and northern Mexico that documented the multiple sexual victimizations endured by undocumented migrant women and girls on their journeys to the United States. Though this phenomenon is shockingly widespread and fairly well documented, it is rarely reported in the mainstream media or even among scholars. While estimates of prevalence are difficult to verify, it is clear that hundreds if not thousands of migrants are the victims of violent sexual assaults each year in Arizona. If such crimes were perpetrated against Anglos, or citizens, or visitors from Europe, or just about anyone other than poor, Latina, undocumented migrants, it would be front-page news for weeks.
Far more is known about the horrendous sexual violence in the Eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo than is known about the crimes against migrant women and girls in the United States. Somehow it is easier on our consciences to show outrage at the mass rapes in Eastern Congo than it is to pay attention to chronic sexual violence perpetrated against our migrant neighbors. Clearly, as media coverage of the DSK scandal has illustrated, it is a more intriguing spectacle to focus on sexual violence (allegedly) committed by a high-ranking French economist than to focus on an epidemic of terror and violence in our own communities.

Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to public health problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, manage waste disposal, and promote reclamation of contaminated sites after accidental contamination. Environmental engineering technicians carry out the plans that environmental engineers develop, including testing and operating equipment used to clean up air and water pollution. They may collect samples for testing, or they may study the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
Hydroengineers may be called upon to design municipal water supply systems, and industrial waste treatment methods. Water treatment focuses on minimizing the risk of infectious diseases, and ensuring adequate municipal distribution. In the field of air pollution, environmental engineers work to minimize emissions from vehicle exhausts and industrial gas stacks. To some extent, this may decrease carbon dioxide output, in order to combat global warming. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of the principal agencies that work with environmental engineers to protect and improve air, water, and overall environmental quality. Environmental engineering technicians holding an associates degree may earn $48,650 per year, while environmental engineers who have a bachelor's degree earn $79,500 annually on average, as of 2017. Beyond major requirements within the environmental engineering department, you may consider Clinton Community College engineering double major as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Daniel took fifth place after a thrilling final day
The first rally in his new team, OMV Kronos Citroën, was a great success for Daniel Carlsson. Despite having a new car, new co-driver, new note reading language and a new team Daniel took fifth place in his home rally, Uddeholm Swedish Rally. The last day was characterized by a thrilling fight with Chris Atkinson a fight that Daniel won when Chris was hit by problem.
It was a slow start on the Karlstad Super Special Stage arena during Thursday evening. After that, Daniel intensified his assault and despite having numerous small problems with gearshift, bad tyre choices, etc. Daniel got back safely to the arena and finish fifth in the rally. He is used to perform good despite lack of training, but still he is surprised by his own performance during the rally:
- Im really satisfied with this result. I couldnt ask for more from myself. Now, after the rally, Ive realised the pressure Ive been under. After last years third place the expectations on me where really high and to be able to finish fifth under those conditions in my home rally feels fantastic. The Swedish audience has been wonderful and it has been really fun to be out in the forests this weekend, says Daniel.
An extra reason to be satisfied is the fact that Daniel made all premieres in a perfect way. To do such a drive with a new car is starting to become everyday things to Daniel, but a new note language is new even to him. But Daniel himself, he just laughs:
- Put Gronholm in the seat Ive been with a new car, new co-driver, new language and new team and then see what he can perform. But to be serious, it has of course been hard to get used to all new settings, but Im really satisfied with this rally. The third place of last year may be a little bit better, but I really appreciate this performance highly. The very best thing is that this is the first rally out of six for me this season, so I shouldnt be on top now. Instead, Ill be on top later during the season. Already next weekend, in Norway, Ill strike again!
Daniel is now looking forward to a weekend of small celebrations, but most of all to rest. Tomorrow, its time to go to Norway and in Tuesday the Rally Norway recce starts. Already next weekend, its time for OMV Kronos Citroën, Daniel and Denis to be competitive again in the first ever Norweigan World Rally Championship event.

Instructors who wish to prove that they have obtained a standard of excellence in the training industry typically pursue the TK0-201: CompTIA CTT+ Essentials exam. Candidates taking the TK0-201 exam must prove that they are able to complete instructional assignments in both a traditional classroom and a virtual classroom environment. The CTT+ certification is relevant to professionals who provide training in technical and non-technical areas. To demonstrate this level of skill, candidates must pass the TK0-201 exam in conjunction with either the TKO-202 or TKO-203 exam.
During the TK0-201 exam, candidates will be tested on their knowledge of group facilitation. This will account for 45% of the exam's questions. During this portion of the exam, candidates will be tested on their knowledge of group dynamics, active listening techniques, cognitive levels, group development phases, and group dynamics. Candidates will also be tested on their ability to use techniques to engage learners, including present, show, question, elicit, personalize, and participate.
An additional 18% of the exam will test a candidate's ability to evaluate the training event. To pass the questions on this portion of the exam, candidates will need to be able to evaluate learner performance during and at the close of instruction and they will need to be able to evaluate the instructor and the course. Candidates taking the TK0-201 exam will also be tested on their ability to plan prior to the course, understand the methods and media for instructional delivery, and demonstrate an understanding of instructor credibility and communications.
My Life Has Improved After Passing The Test
Having a great life is very important to me because I have a family. I want to make sure that they are able to have so much more than just the things that they need to have. This is why I made sure that when I was trying to improve my station in my career that I took the CompTIA TK0-201: CompTIA CTT+ Essentials test. I knew that it would help me to improve myself and get more in my business. The study guide from TestsForge helped me to know exactly what I would see when I was taking the test. I passed the test without any trouble and now I am making the kind of money I need to make so I can enjoy life.
- From Ian Mikolajczak
More than just a study guide
The TestsForge CompTIA TK0-201: CompTIA CTT+ Essentials offerings are so much more than just a study guide. They are a money-saver. A time-saver. A life-saver! I was able to pass my tests, truly increase my knowledge base in very applicable, real-world ways -- and not waste a lot of money and time doing it. I couldn't recommend anything more. This was the best choice I have made for my career. It's an easy decision to make. There is no downside. I will do it again for other certifications in the future, no question. Thank you!

Marty was Martin Cooper, then the General Manager of Communications Systems at Motorola; Joel was Dr. Joel Engel, Cooper's rival over at AT&T. For three months, Cooper and his team had been racing to build the first portable cell phone while AT&T continued to build out what they saw as the smarter option: the car phone.
You've seen the prototype (or something like it) that Cooper ended up using to make that famous call: big (2.5 pounds!) and beige, with a long, chunky antenna. "That telephone in the secret agent's heel is almost here -- if you're the Jolly Green Giant, have a jolly green bank account, and can wait until 1976," quipped the AP, in their writeup of the phone's unveiling.
The first cell phone call had nothing on Neil Armstrong's catchy juxtaposition, but it, too, was a small step for a man (into midtown Sixth Avenue!) and a giant leap for mankind. You know what happened next: the world shrank (the phones shrank, too), became more human, then, some argue, less human, but smaller still.
As for Cooper, he, along with his wife Arlene, went on to found a number of successful telecommunications companies (the latest, GreatCall, has a fantastically simple cellphone for seniors). He amassed eleven patents. He issued a dictum, Cooper's Law, stating that data over usable spectrum doubles every thirty months. And he speaks, frequently, about how wireless can be put to more beneficial use.
Recently, I spoke with Mr. Cooper about the past, present, and future of communication.
When you were a kid, what did you use to communicate with people who weren't within shouting distance?
Well, Claire...do you know how old I am?
...You know even when I was a teenager, it was unusual for anybody to have more than one telephone. Telephone numbers were five digit numbers, and in the early days, most of the lines were party lines, so you could actually listen in on peoples' conversations.
I lived through the age when there were car telephones. When my wife was twelve, she was a switchboard operator for car telephones. Not many people had car phones, and she would listen in on conversations between movie stars and other famous people.
And then you joined the Navy. What did you use there? Letters, telegrams…
Did you ever hear of a thing they call snail mail? You write letters. When I was at sea and traveling, the only way I could communicate was by letter. Even the ability to talk over long distances did not exist.
Have your communication tools and habits changed from decade to decade? Is there a time that stands out in particular?
I really depend very heavily on email now. I don't like to bother people, so email is just so convenient. I spend much more time on email than I do talking to people. And as I told you before, I send tweets out and I get information and some of it is even important. I just found out one of the FCC chairs is following me--is that a compliment or what?!
We have to come up with new technology that makes data communications much lower in cost, because we've got a whole bunch of new things coming. The next big change in communications will be machine-to-machine communications. In healthcare, you'll measure things on your body every minute, instead of every year or two. We're all going to be connected almost continuously, and that requires a lot of radio waves.
I read on the BBC that you said before cellphones, we called places, not people.
If you think about the most fundamental change for teleservice, it's that a phone number nowadays is associated with a person. When people call you, they expect you to answer. Before cellular, when you called a number you were calling a place, and you didn't know who was going to answer. We now can tailor-make the communications for the specific purpose.
How important is the form of the communication tool to how we communicate?
First of all, everyone is different from everybody else. Most of my electronic communications are either talking or email. People communicate on twitter, on Facebook, on Linkedin. Each one has a twist that's optimized for some form of communication, for some form of collaboration.
I think the future of communication will be centered around collaboration. We are becoming more and more efficient at having groups do things. Every form of communication can be done in an optimal way, and with a minimal number of inhibitors. If you only have a very brief message to send to somebody, and you don't care that they get it immediately, texting is perfect.
The future of the world hangs on the fact that we have so many more ways of communicating. There are a lot of applications that are more entertaining than useful, but the parts of the cellphone that make me feel proud, it's when I hear about a woman in India who gets micro financing and gets a cellphone, and she lets villagers use it, to find out where the best markets are to sell their cows…everybody wins.
If you look at the problems we have today, the biggest problem is poverty. But if we can start doing everything we do more efficiently, this will be solved.
Today's cellphones have all this computing power behind them, yet their form hasn't really changed that much. They've shrunk; and they've gained screens--but they are still recognizable to the phone you built in 1973. Do you think that is going to change?
Oh you bet. The way it's going to change in the future is: right now there are just a couple phones you can have, but people are different from each other. My vision is everyone will carry on them a little box hidden on their bodies that I call a server. The server implements optimal devices. There is still going to be voice communicator, but it's a device that you wear behind your ear, or perhaps embedded under your skin that you can talk to and receive audible messages from. It includes a powerful computer that has stored, among other things, all of your contacts. When you want to call someone, you ask your computer to make the call and you just talk. The voice communicator actually sends your voice to the personal server that you carry on you your body in a convenient place. The point is that the voice communicator is optimum for talking and listening, not a universal box that you have to hold up to your ear.
You'll also have devices on your body that will measure your health state. You may have a keyboard or something if you want to send messages or a gesture device. All these things feed into server and all are accommodated to your personality. The cellphone of future will be tailored to your personality and your needs.

A lot of times when you are learning the most important words in a language, it is good to know phrases such as "where is the toilet?" or "how do you get to...". However, in Arabic, there are a few key words that you should learn before you get to all of those other essential phrases. The reason is because these words are so important to the core of the Arabic language. Not to mention, it will make the locals smile to hear you say them.
1. Insha'Allah
Insha'Allah (pronounced in-sha-la) literally means "God willing." This is a phrase that is said a lot in daily conversation. When you use this word, you want to make sure you use it before something happens. For example, you would say "Insha'Allah I will see you tomorrow" (God willing, I will see you tomorrow) or "Insha'Allah I will make a good grade on my exam" (God willing, I will make a good grade on my exam).
2. Hamdullah
Hamdullah is the opposite of Insha'Allah. You say Insha'Allah before something happens and Hamdullah after it happens. Hamdullah means "Thank God" and you use it to thank God for something good that has already happened. So, going back to the example with the exam you can say "Hambdula I made a good grade on my exam" (Thank God I made a good grade on my exam).
Another typical time you say Hamdullah is after you are finished with a meal. Instead of saying a prayer before the meal as most Westerners do, it is common to say "Hamdullah" after it.

3. Shokran
This word is pretty straightforward. Shokran means "Thank you".
4. Merhaba
Merhaba literally means "God's love" or "God loves you". In the Arabic language, however, it is used as a greeting and means "welcome".
5. Yalla
I always thought that Yalla was a fun word to say. Yalla means "Let's go" and we would say it anytime it we were ready to leave a place.
6. Habibi
Habibi (habibti for girls) means "my beloved". It is a term of endearment used between a man and a woman, and it can also be used between good friends.
7. Salam Ou Alaikoum
Salam Ou Alaikoum literally means "peace be upon you." It is used when you greet people and also before you part with them. So, it is kind of like the "hello" and "goodbye" in the Arabic language.
8. Masha'Allah
Masha'Allah is a word that you use to show that you are happy about a good thing that happpened to someone else. For example, if your co-worker just had a baby and told you about it, you would say "Masha'Allah". Other examples of times when you would use this word are when a friend buy's a new house or if someone shows you a picture of their child. Basically, if someone talks about something good in their life, say Masha'Allah.
9. Naam
Naam means yes.
No, which I also heard quite often, is "la".

10. Saha
Saha literally means "health" and is used in a couple of ways. In some Arabic speaking countries, you say Saha when someone sneezes. It would be the equivalent of saying "bless you" in English. Another way to use Saha is to say it when you get something new such as clothes or a hair cut. You can also use the word Saha if you eat a dish you like.
