From Wikipedia"
A cable car is a type of cable transport used for mass transit where rail cars are hauled by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed. Individual cars stop and start by releasing and gripping this cable as required. Cable cars are distinct from funiculars, where the cars are permanently attached to the cable, and cable railways, which are similar to funiculars, but where the rail vehicles are attached and detached manually.
The first cable-operated railway, employing a moving rope that could be picked up or released by a grip on the cars was the Fawdon railway (or wagonway) in 1826, a Colliery railway line.[3][4] The London and Blackwall Railway, which opened for passengers in east London, England, in 1840 used such a system. The rope available at the time proved too susceptible to wear and the system was abandoned in favour of steam locomotives after eight years. In America, the first cable car installation in operation probably was the West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway in New York City, which ran from 1 July 1868 to 1870. The cable technology used in this elevated railway involved collar-equipped cables and claw-equipped cars, and proved cumbersome. The line was closed and rebuilt, and reopened with steam locomotives.
Other cable cars to use grips were those of the Clay Street Hill Railroad, which later became part of the San Francisco cable car system. The building of this line was promoted by Andrew Smith Hallidie with design work by William Eppelsheimer, and it was first tested in 1873. The success of these grips ensured that this line became the model for other cable car transit systems, and this model is often known as the Hallidie Cable Car.
In 1881 the Dunedin cable tramway system opened in Dunedin, New Zealand and became the first such system outside San Francisco. For Dunedin, George Smith Duncan further developed the Hallidie model, introducing the pull curve and the slot brake; the former was a way to pull cars through a curve, since Dunedin's curves were too sharp to allow coasting, while the latter forced a wedge down into the cable slot to stop the car. Both of these innovations were generally adopted by other cities, including San Francisco.
In Australia the Melbourne cable tramway system operated from 1885 to 1940. It was one of the most extensive in the world with 1200 trams and trailers operating over 15 routes with 103 km (64 miles) of track. Sydney also had a few cable tram routes.
Cable cars rapidly spread to other cities, although the major attraction for most was the ability to displace horsecar (or mule-drawn) systems rather than the ability to climb hills. Many people at the time viewed horse-drawn transit as unnecessarily cruel, and the fact that a typical horse could work only four or five hours per day necessitated the maintenance of large stables of draft animals that had to be fed, housed, groomed, medicated and rested. Thus, for a period, economics worked in favour of cable cars even in relatively flat cities.
For example, the Chicago City Railway, also designed by Eppelsheimer, opened in Chicago in 1882 and went on to become the largest and most profitable cable car system. As with many cities, the problem in flat Chicago was not one of grades but of transportation capacity. This caused a different approach to the combination of grip car and trailer. Rather than using a grip car and single trailer, as many cities did, or combining the grip and trailer into a single car, like San Francisco's California Cars, Chicago used grip cars to pull trains of up to three trailers.
In 1883 the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Railway was opened, which had a most curious feature: though it was a cable car system, it used steam locomotives to get the cars into and out of the terminals. After 1896 the system was changed to one on which a motor car was added to each train to maneuver at the terminals, while en route, the trains were still propelled by the cable.
On 25 September 1883 a test of a cable car system was held by Liverpool United Tramways and Omnibus Company in Kirkdale, Liverpool. This would have been the first cable car system in Europe, but the company decided against implementing it. Instead the distinction went to the 1884 route from Archway to Highgate, north London, which used a continuous cable and grip system on the 1 in 11 (9%) climb of Highgate Hill. The installation was not reliable and was replaced by electric traction in 1909. Other cable car systems were implemented in Europe, though, among which was the Glasgow District Subway, the first underground cable car system, in 1896. (London's first deep-level tube railway, the City & South London Railway, had earlier also been built for cable haulage but had been converted to electric traction before opening in 1890.) A few more cable car systems were built in the United Kingdom, Portugal and France, but European cities, having many more curves in their streets, were less suitable for cable cars than American cities.
Though some new cable car systems were still being built, by 1890 the cheaper to construct and simpler to operate electrically-powered trolley or tram started to become the norm, and eventually started to replace existing cable car systems. For a while hybrid cable/electric systems operated, for example in Chicago where electric cars had to be pulled by grip cars through the loop area, due to the lack of trolley wires there. Eventually, San Francisco became the only street-running manually operated system to survive—Dunedin, the second city with such cars, was also the second-last city to operate them, closing down in 1957.
In the last decades of the 20th century cable traction in general has seen a limited revival as automatic people movers, used in resort areas, airports (for example, Toronto Airport), huge hospital centers and some urban settings. While many of these systems involve cars permanently attached to the cable, the Minimetro system from Poma/Leitner Group and the Cable Liner system from DCC Doppelmayr Cable Car both have variants that allow the cars to be automatically decoupled from the cable under computer control, and can thus be considered a modern interpretation of the cable car.
The cable is itself powered by a stationary motor or engine situated in a cable house or power house. The speed at which it moves is relatively constant depending on the number of units gripping the cable at any given time.
The cable car begins moving when a clamping device attached to the car, called a grip, applies pressure to ("grips") the moving cable. Conversely the car is stopped by releasing pressure on the cable (with or without completely detaching) and applying the brakes. This gripping and ungripping action may be manual, as was the case in all early cable car systems, or automatic, as is the case in some recent cable operated people mover type systems. Gripping must be an even and gradual process in order to avoid bringing the car to cable speed too quickly and unacceptably jarring the passengers.
In the case of manual systems, the grip resembles a very large pair of pliers, and considerable strength and skill are required to operate the car. As many early cable car operators discovered the hard way, if the grip is not applied properly, it can damage the cable, or even worse, become entangled in the cable. In the latter case, the cable car may not be able to stop and can wreak havoc along its route until the cable house realizes the mishap and halts the cable.
One apparent advantage of the cable car is its relative energy efficiency, because of the economy of centrally located power stations, and the ability of descending cars to transfer energy to ascending cars. However, this advantage is totally negated by the relatively large energy consumption required to simply move the cable over and under the numerous guide rollers and around the many sheaves. Approximately 95% of the tractive effort in the San Francisco system is expended in simply moving the four cables at 9.5 miles per hour. Electric cars with regenerative braking do offer the advantages, without the problem of moving a cable. In the case of steep grades, however, cable traction has the major advantage of not depending on adhesion between wheels and rails. There is also the obvious advantage that keeping the car gripped to the cable will also limit the downhill speed to that of the cable.
Because of the constant and relatively low speed, a cable car's potential to cause harm in an accident can be underestimated. Even with a cable car traveling at only 9 miles per hour, the mass of the cable car and the combined strength and speed of the cable can do quite a lot of damage in a collision.

Ph.D., Professor, Past President, Past Provost & Former Dean, Rollins College, Crummer Graduate School of Business
Living & Leaving Your Leadership Legacy
Ph.D., Associate Professor (now Adjunct), Former Director of Executive Education, Rollins College, Crummer Graduate School of Business. The University of Alabama, Corporate Engagement Advisor
Have you spent much time thinking about your personal leadership legacy? What have you accomplished – was it for positive gain? Whom did you help – surely it was for others as well? What did you leave behind – did you leave things better than you found them? Did your efforts make an impact? If you are not thinking in these terms, you are making a mistake as a leader.
In this keynote session, the presenters challenge all to think and act in a manner that creates their leadership legacy through efforts that are rooted in the here and now. The clarion point of this session is to provide participants with insights that enhance their legacy thinking and impact delivered by management educators with over 60 years of combined experience working in executive and management education.
HThe Leader's Guide to Managing Uncertainty: Manage Your Mind First
Ph.D. Associate Professor of Practice and the Founding Director of the Executive Mind Leadership Institute at the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University
Can you or your team be more effective at managing change? In times of dramatic change, the ability to understand and intentionally shift how your mind works is a powerful leadership asset.
Mindfulness cultivates the capacity to see the hidden barriers to effective action and how they drive your results. Therefore, mindfulness practices can help you sidestep habitual defaults and open novel pathways for action. Through intentional action you can learn to transform your results.
First, we will focus on what derails effective performance and how to address it. We will begin by understanding how the nervous system works and can undermine your team's ability to be effective. We will practice competencies to skillfully manage this process.
Second, we will focus on mindfulness as a tool for strategic action and apply it to cases you bring to the course. Expect to walk away with immediately practical tools.
Crafting Authentic Identities: Understanding and Appreciating our Differences
Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Management, Spears School of Business, Oklahoma State University
Given that young leaders, all leaders really, are often in positions of authority without necessarily having the power to influence others. This session will focus on helping them build bridges with others by first understanding themselves. It is through recognizing the differences present in one's work group that one is able to learn from them and truly engage employees in order to push the group forward. Social identity management is about understanding one's own multiple identities and how one's identity is situated as simultaneously similar and different from the others in the environment. Individuals are constantly crafting images to fit in or stand out from the group.
Social identity management allows individuals to be intentional about crafting images that at once are authentic to oneself and also meet the demands of the team and environment. This type of self-awareness takes practice, vulnerability, and social skills. When leaders intentionally present authentic images, they give others insight into who that leader is, and they encourage that same intentional authenticity in those that follow them. Thus, this presentation will focus on the power of self-awareness for crafting authentic identities.
Increase Your Influence

NYT reports on chef cyberscrums
The Times recently reported on the way several New York chefs are using twitter and blogs to air their gripes against customers, bloggers, critics, suppliers, rival chefs, and even their bosses.
In one case, Joe Dobias, chef-owner of JoeDoe, Tweeted that a fish delivery had not arrived, prompting his supplier to drop him. ("Maybe he should get to work instead of spending his time Twittering," the supplier said, pointing out that the delivery had arrived early but that Mr. Dobias hadn't been there to receive it.) In another example, one bold/unhappy chef posted a series of negative Tweets about his work hoping to deliberately provoke his boss into firing him.
The Times points out that it takes a certain personality type to publicly air one's grievances online:
Those who do it tend to be extroverted in person and online, like the Lefebvres, (Ms. Lefebvre, a lawyer, appeared topless in Playboy magazine in 2007 when she was a contestant on the reality-TV show The Apprentice).
We've seen a little of this sort of thing here and there, but in general that sort of confrontational approach seems more New York than Minnesota.

Children With Tumours charity have released a new promotional video in support of their forthcoming summer camp in August 2013 for children with NF.
The pictures come from the camp held in 2012, also at the PGL centre. As you can see the children had a fabulous time, enjoying every minute.
"Our camp for 10-17 year olds is on 26-30 August 2013 inclusive. Our activity based camp will be held at the PGL Centre, Marchant Hill, Surrey
This camp has proven to be so popular with our children that we decided to increase the length of stay and make more places available!"

When we get to the dressing room and realize the pants in our usual size are way too small, the number on the tag makes us feel like sh*t. But as Deena Shoemaker illustrates in a mic-drop post on Facebook, those numbers are abitrary. How else could you explain the fact that she's a size 5 at one store and a size 12 at another?
Shoemaker, a teen counselor, knows young women face enormous pressure to be thin—and their self-worth can hinge on the size of their jeans. Realizing those numbers are just as messed up as society's beauty standards makes it easier to stop paying attention to clothing sizes and just love who you are now.

TLR: This is about IETF view that DNS names shouldn't be used in the CN field, although the Internet currently works that way.

rachna: What are we trying to
convey to the user?

tlr: I am worried about a wildcard cert letting the attacker choose an arbitrary string to present to the user
tyler: Perhaps the base domain concept could be useful here.
tlr: Don't want to use that
... For example, phisher has cert for *.foo.com and puts up a site at bankofamerica.foo.com
... Perhaps show the longest validated part of the hostname.
... which would be similar to the base domain concept
<Mez> cutting off the asterisk is a little odd
<Mez> .foo.com and foo.com look pretty similiar
<Mez> in the former case it's a "good" match, in the latter, it's not
TLR: prefers string transform to the base domain algorithm which uses a separate database

Paper Abstracts and bios
Rieko Kamei-Dyche (University of Southern California/Hitotsubashi University):
"Marriage Strategies and Familial Networks of the Saionji"
While conventional treatments of medieval Japan that privilege warrior narratives have been slowly augmented by scholarship revealing the continuing role of the court, the vibrant court culture and the roles played by courtier families remain underdeveloped in the literature. A fascinating case study is offered by the Saionji, a notable courtier family that developed extensive connections with both court and bakufu and commanded great wealth and influence. One of the reasons for Saionji prominence was their great skill at generating and wisely investing social capital, especially in building family relations with the major power holders of the time. Through examining these family networks, how they were developed and what benefits they brought the family, an unexplored side of medieval Japanese society comes to light.
Rieko Kamei-Dyche is a historian of premodern Japan, specializing in the medieval era. She is primarily concerned with courtier society, which she examines in light of a range of perspectives from social, cultural, and women's history. Her work also makes extensive use of literature, drawing upon her background in classical Japanese literary studies. She is interested in theorizing the interaction between history and literature, as well as in how to more effectively utilize literary sources for historical studies. Her dissertation project is a multi-dimensional assessment of early medieval courtier society, based on a case study of the Saionji family, focusing in particular on their human networks and cultural capital.
Alexander Vesey (Meiji Gakuin University):
"Forging Karmic Ties: Buddhist temple networking in Early Modern Japan"
Working from a social historical perspective, this paper examines the processes that contributed to the expansion of Kanto area Buddhist temple networks during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Given the emphasis of "founders, " "lineages" and "schools" in popular histories of Japanese Buddhism, the internal coherence of Buddhist institutions seems a given. Local records, however, reveal a different reality as temple networks were also forged by negotiation, and at times hard-fought litigation. This presentation will use several case studies to consider the motives and methods that drove early modern Buddhist networking.
Alexander Vesey earned at Ph.D. in East Asian Studies from Princeton in 2003. He previously received a B.A. in Asian Studies from U.S.C., and an M.A. in Buddhist Studies from the University of Michigan. His research employs a micro-historical approach based on regional documents to reevaluate the role of Buddhism in daily life during the Edo period (1600-1868). Recently his interests have also turned to photographing the visual culture of modern Japanese religion and society. He joined Meiji Gakuin University in 2008, and was a founding member of the Department of Global and Transcultural Studies in 2011.
Luke Roberts (UC Santa Barbara):
Tosa's Foreign Ties during Edo Period "Isolation"
Despite prohibitions of direct foreign contact during most of the Edo period, people of the domain of Tosa had many connections with and experiences of meeting with people from outside of Japan that linked them to informational networks spanning the world. This talk will center on the experiences of many foreign shipwrecks landing on the coast of Tosa and also discuss other connections to give a sense of Tosa domain's ties to the world during this most unlikely time of "isolation."
Luke Roberts received his BA in 1981 from Oberlin College where Prof. Ron DiCenzo got him interested in Japanese studies. Luke later studied Edo period history at Tokyo University as a research student under Prof. Kanai Madoka and Prof. Takagi Shosaku who got Luke interested in the history of the Tosa region. In 1991 Luke received his Phd at Princeton University under Prof. Marius Jansen and has since been working at UCSB. He is the author of Mercantilism in a Japanese Domain (1998) and Performing the Great Peace (2012) and coauthor with Sharon Takeda of Japanese Fishermen's Coats from Awaji Island (2002).

Use your phone or tablet to pause your child's device or give bonus time
We all need a pause button sometimes…
There is something rather fabulous about having access to any sort of pause button, especially if it helps your child put their device down for dinner! With headphones on, or an engrossing game, it's no wonder parents "cannot" be heard, which is why it helps to have a little trick up your sleeve. But it's not just about pausing … you can hit play too!
Without having to change your daily limits or other restrictions, you can add bonus time at the touch of a button. This is especially useful for long car journeys or those moments when your children are most charming and they deserve a little reward, or when you feel there's no harm in giving them a few more minutes to finish a game.
Like what you see? Let's get started right away!

Hrithik highly committed artist: Cinematographer Tirru
Published: 30th October 2013 01:00 PM | Last Updated: 30th October 2013 01:00 PM | A+A A-
Renowned cinematographer Tirru, who has captured Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan as superhero through his lens in "Krrish 3", says he is one of the highly committed artists in the industry and wouldn't mind pushing himself to the edge.
"Let's admit it; it isn't easy to play a superhero as it requires lot of dedication and hard work. But Hrithik made it look so easy with his commitment towards work. He is unarguably a highly committed artist because for a shoot that starts at 9 a.m., he would arrive on sets at 5 a.m. and start preparing himself," Tirru told IANS.
"He has put in lot of effort for this film. I still remember shooting the action sequences with him that he pulled off effortlessly. All stunts may have been done with wires, but it takes skill to control the movement of the wire, which could be affected by even strong wind," he added.
Known for critically acclaimed work in films such as "Hey Ram", "Abhay" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa", Tirru says "Krrish 3" is just a baby step towards embracing superhero films in India.
"This is just the beginning, but I believe this film will set the ball rolling. 'Krrish 3' has gone beyond Computer Generated Interface (CGI) by using something I used in Kamal Haasan's 'Abhay' many years ago. Lot of miniature VFX was used in the film to shoot most action sequences," he said.
"We created miniature version of Mumbai using this technology, and then merged action scenes shot separately featuring Hrithik in it under single frame. It was an exhaustive process, but it paid off. The output has been satisfactory," said Tirru, who has also worked on Tamil films such as "Kanchivaram" and "Little John".
He is currently working on filmmaker Priyadarshan's Malayalam film "Geethanjali".

$4.2M OK'd for Osborn Hill renovation, PCB cleanup
The Representative Town Meeting has approved a $4.19 million bond authorization for the remediation of PCBs at Osborn Hill School, but none of the legislative body's discussion this week centered on the suspected carcinogen.
Instead, RTM members on Monday raised questions about the enclosed walkway from the main building to the annex that has been included as a component of the remediation project.
"When we put the annex in, we decided not to connect it to the building," said Minority Leader Hal Schwartz, D-7, because it could trigger further code upgrades. "How is this going to affect that? How do we guarantee what we put up won't trigger core renovations which are going to cost additional funds."
Architect William Silver said officials do not expect the glass-enclosed walkway to have any impact, but he added that as the project begins, there will be meetings with building and fire officials.
Thomas Cullen, director of operations for the school district, said the enclosed walkway is not looked at "in a different way" since it is not part of the annex project.
Another RTM member, Ann Stamler, D-5, asked if the enclosure would do more than protect students and staff from the weather. "Will it protect people walking inside from people outside with a weapon?" she said.
Silver said the glass will not be ballistic-grade glazing, which he said would make the project 10 to 15 times more expensive. "That was not the goal of this study," he said. "It will provide physical security and the doors are intended to be locked."
Superintendent of Schools David Title assured the legislative body that if the walkway enclosure substantially increases the total cost of the remediation project, "it won't happen."
The walkway is expected to cost about $70,000. The biggest price tag in the project is $700,000 to renovate the existing gym, which has been rendered unusable because of airborne PCB contamination. A portable classroom has been rented to serve as a gym for the school.
Other costs include $650,000 to install new windows at the elementary school. It was during the required testing of caulking for existing windows last summer that the elevated PCB levels were discovered.
Also included in the bonding is $820,000 in costs incurred during the cleanup and testing of the school, and rental of the temporary gym.

The Spirit of Nirvana's Orchards.
At our last meeting Adelaide Hill Basket Cases had some fun with interlacing willow at Nirvana Organic Farm. The challenge 'how to make something attached to a tree that stayed there'. Plus an opportunity to use some willow from Deb's willow garden. We would have liked it to be higher up the tree but... being only allowed up 2 steps this is what we managed.

Jordan Smith Sings 'Mary Did You Know' on The Voice Finale (VIDEO)
Jordan Smith sang "Mary Did You Know" on The Voice 9 Finale for Team Adam Levine on Monday, December 14, 2015!
Jordan taps into the tenderness of his voice, a quality he uses far too infrequently, in my opinion. He's got wonderful restraint, and can really deliver these beautiful, intimate little moments within a vocal. And that's the case here, as those tender moments add into the buildup and the drama of the bigger, more grandiose notes. I'm not entirely sure I'm making any sense at all here, so I'll just say this was a moving, powerful performance. Watch the performance video below.
If you like this performance, please share this video with your friends on Facebook.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Arts and Heritage, Robert Troy TD, has congratulated Colum McCann on winning the International Impac Dublin Literary Award.
"Colum McCann is an acclaimed novelist and there are many glowing reviews of his winning novel Let the Great World Spin. The fact that Mr McCann's work beat nine other nominees and was described by the judging panel as a 'remarkable literary work' is a credit to him. He is also the second Irish author to win the world renowned prize.
"Today is a proud day for Irish arts. Mr McCann's success demonstrates to the world that Ireland is still rich with the culture for which we are held in high regard."
"I also want to pay tribute to Colm Tóibín, who previously won the Impac Literary Award in 2006, who was shortlisted this year for Brooklyn, and William Trevor was short-listed for his novel Love and Summer."
"The strength and depth of Irish culture and art continues to be recognised at home and abroad and I hope the Government will continue to show the support that has been afforded to artists in the years ahead."
