The Tony Sale Award for Computer Conservation and Restoration
Welcome to the Tony Sale award web site
The inaugural Tony Sale Award has been won by Dr David Link for his computer art installation LoveLetters, a replica of a 1951 computer with reconstructed software that generates texts to express and arouse emotions.
Dr Link's LoveLetters reconstructs the 1951 Ferranti Mark 1 computer which executes the original recovered software by Prof Christopher Strachey, a philosopher and pioneer in programming, to generate automated "love letters". Visitors can interact with a functional replica of the Ferranti Mark 1 containing many of its original components, to gain an authentic impression of the look-and-feel of the original computer.
The Tony Sale Award, managed by the Computer Conservation Society and sponsored by Google was set up to recognise achievements in the growing area of computer conservation. Tony Sale, perhaps best known for leading the team that rebuilt the Colossus computer, helped establish the Computer Conservation Society, co-founded The National Museum of Computing and was a key figure in starting the campaign to save Bletchley Park in the early 1990s.
Rachel Burnett, who chaired the panel of judges and is Chair of the Computer Conservation Society, said: "We were delighted by the quality and variety of the entries to this the first year of the Tony Sale Award. The nominations clearly developed the idea of computer archaeology and their exciting diversity made the task of judging very challenging! "
The winning entry by Dr David Link is both a brilliant technical construction and a work of art. Its fusion of art, engineering and history celebrates one of the first artistic applications of the computer in a visually attractive way. The wide cultural appeal, originality and touch of genius of this entry set it apart for us and has given us an inspiring first winner of the Tony Sale Award."
Dr Link said: "I feel extremely honoured to officially step into the footsteps of a Colossus as bright and wonderful as Tony Sale. I am most grateful for the recognition of my work and I thank the members of the Computer Conservation Society, without whom the project, and the fun connected with it, would not have been possible."
Peter Barron, Director of External Relations at Google, which sponsored the Award, said: "It's important that we preserve not only the memories, but also the machines, if we are truly to understand and learn from our computing heritage. Google is delighted to support this award to recognise the unsung heroes who invest their time and skill to bring computers of the past back to life. Congratulations to all who took part."

Last week was my first blog and I put it on my social networks as well as bugging my friends to death to read it. I was stoked, what can I say? After posting the post to twitter, I got a very interesting message. The message was from a follower who is no longer that. It read (In multiple messages) "Dear asshole, (Great start) I'm not even going to open your blog post because if it's anything like your tweets than I don't want to see your bullshit….etc" No, she didn't say etc, she just mumbled on about how awful of a person I am and how she's not going to give my blog a chance. Well, here's where I prove her right because "If you can't beat them, join them."
Something being offensive is relative to one's own experiences and beliefs. What is offensive to you, may not be offensive to your twin brother. What is offensive to me (Which is very little) may not be offensive to someone in another country. I would like to point that out because there are many controversial topics in the world today and ALL controversial topics have one thing in common…I like to make fun of them. That being said, I do feel empathy for people in awful situations. I just like to lighten the mood… at least for myself.
The point I'm making here is you can't take jokes, sarcastic remarks, or comments against you seriously, UNLESS they are intended to hurt you. By intended, I mean that the person who made the comment only made the comment to hurt YOUR feelings. However, 99.9% of the time, this is not the case. These are the same odds as Hand Sanitizer killing germs. There's only that .1, piece of shit that avoids the majority as hard as it can.
So next time you are offended by a comment someone makes not directed towards you, instead of panicking and throwing a fit, you should do something productive, like shutting the Hell up. P.S. in the future, I will hit much more serious issues that pertain to a larger audience, but this was something that was fresh on my mind. I just would like to see people be able to get along regardless of differences and still be able to be shitty to each other.

Authorities say thieves stole some televisions from a South Florida Target store and then tried to run over a police officer who tried to stop them in a busy parking lot.
Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Rues says the officer pulled the car over in the Chili's restaurant parking lot Wednesday night. She says the officer thought they were going to run over him during the traffic stop, so he fired multiple shots at the fleeing vehicle.
Officers say they don't believe anyone was struck by the bullets.
Police eventually took three people into custody and were still looking for another suspect late Wednesday.
The two television sets the suspects took from Target were in the car when they were arrested.

Hodgkins Disease (cont.)In this Article
Radiation TherapyRadiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) for Hodgkin lymphoma uses high-energy rays to kill lymphoma cells. It can shrink tumors and help control pain. A large machine aims the rays at the lymph node areas affected by lymphoma. This is local therapy because it affects cells in the treated area only. Most people go to a hospital or clinic for treatment 5 days a week for several weeks. The side effects of radiation therapy depend mainly on the dose of radiation and the part of the body that is treated. For example, radiation to your abdomen can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. When your chest and neck are treated, you may have a dry, sore throat and some trouble swallowing. In addition, your skin in the area being treated may become red, dry, and tender. You also may lose your hair in the treated area. Many people become very tired during radiation therapy, especially in the later weeks of treatment. Resting is important, but doctors usually advise people to try to stay as active as they can. Although the side effects of radiation therapy can be distressing, they can usually be treated or controlled. You can talk with your doctor about ways to ease these problems. It may also help to know that, in most cases, the side effects are not permanent. However, you may want to discuss with your doctor the possible long-term effects of radiation treatment. After treatment is over, you may have an increased chance of developing a second cancer. Also, radiation therapy aimed at the chest may cause heart disease or lung damage. Radiation therapy aimed at the pelvis can cause infertility. Loss of fertility may be temporary or permanent, depending on your age:

Help with charging
I have an iPod classroom set of 24 in my kindergarten class, but we are having trouble getting them all charged. I see you have a port for 4 units and this cart for 40 units (which is too much for my budget). What do you suggest?

AnswerWe have two of these carts at work, and will take one to off site meetings if we won't need to ship it. They are used to charge iPhones (3G, 3GS, 4, 4S) iPod Touch (any generation) and iPads (1 and 2)
They will charge iPads, however, they charge at a much slower rate than the charger that ships with the iPad. Based on our experience, I would say that they charge at the same rate as the Charger that ships with the iPhone.- Answered by Bruce A from Rolling Meadows

York County's unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, yet some businesses actually are having a hard time filling positions.
Obviously, that's not because they can't hire fast enough.
Surprisingly, given our area's rich manufacturing history, some employers say the younger workforce doesn't have the basic skills needed to cut it in a factory job.
Members of the Manufacturers' Association of South Central Pennsylvania are currently listing openings for machinists, welders, maintenance mechanics, electrical technicians, automation workers, professional engineers and more, according to executive director Michael Smeltzer.
"We're trying to fill those positions, but there's a severe skills gap in the world of manufacturing," he said. "The technology has increased significantly, but the skill of the workforce has not."
To hear Smeltzer describe it, it sounds like the workforce is losing ground.
Never mind the science or engineering backgrounds needed for some positions -- young people looking for jobs today lack basic math skills and can't tell a Phillips-head screwdriver from a flat-head, he said.
Their parents and grandparents -- folks who worked for companies like Caterpillar, Harley-Davidson or Pfaltzgraff -- must be hanging their heads.
There's no way these kids are prepared to replace them as they retire.
Area manufacturers have been sounding this alarm for years now: We need better-trained workers to attract and keep jobs in York County.
To that end, local businesses and organizations are offering apprentice and job-training programs, but it seems not enough young people are participating to keep our local factories humming at capacity.
One issue might be that parents tend to steer their children toward college, rather than job training, after high school.
There's nothing wrong with that; set a goal, and go for it.
But keep in mind many students these days are graduating from college saddled in debt, with no job prospects in their field.
Even with a degree, they might find themselves waiting tables or stocking shelves.
On the other hand, the local manufacturing industry provides 30,000 jobs in the county workforce -- positions that often start with high, five-figure salaries and grow to six-figures over time.
That's something to consider, too -- especially these days.

What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
The two visits to villages in rural Africa were my highlights. To see the people living in such basis huts with no electricity or running water was memorable. they are happy though!
The Kingdom of the Ashanti, a wonderful trip to Ghana in West Africa, a rich and vibrant culture and a naturally beautiful country. Our trip took us from Accra on the Atlantic coast to Bolgatanga in the far north close to the border with Burkina Faso, on the way visiting Kumasi the capital of the Ashanti Kingdom.
In Adanwomasi we watched the local men weave the colourful cloth proudly worn by the Ashanti people. In the market place a shopkeeper wanted to sell us a piece of the cloth telling us it was very useful for carring your baby. I asked how the baby stayed in place without falling out, she quickly disappeared and returned moments later with a "borrowed" baby and effortlessly swung it on her back wraped the cloth around the baby and tucked it up neatly - "easy", she proudly said ! One of those memorable moments that stay with you long after the trip is over.
Fast food takes on a new meaning when we stopped for lunch by the side of the road for deep fried yams but we did not try the barbecued bats ! The history of the slave trade gave us much to think about, overall a varied trip of culture, history, National Parks and rainforests. Ghana is well worth a visit, an excellent trip !

Comments about The North Face Polar Hooded Jacket - Women's:
This is a great, lightweight winter jacket. The sleeves and hood are designed with some stretchy fabric, which is great for moving with you when doing outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. The cut is flattering, and I get a lot of compliments on the red color. I've tested this jacket as an outer layer and mid layer and it works well as either. I usually wear only one layer under it, and I find that it keeps me toasty down to about 20 degrees when I'm out and about. Much colder than that and I make it my mid-layer. I'd definitely buy it again!

Dr. Margaret Cary, who wrote the foreword to LOVE ADDICT: SEX, ROMANCE AND OTHER DANGEROUS DRUGS, often sends me articles she thinks I'll find interesting. Research papers on the genetics of addiction, usually, or lactose intolerance. This week, she sent a piece from THE WEEK about advances in epigenetics.
Epigenetics — literally "on top of genetics" — is the recently discovered process by which our DNA blueprint will express, or not express, itself as a genetic command. Our genes are malleable, not immutable; they adjust and alter throughout our lives, This explains why identical twins become less identical over time. Science has lately confirmed what many have long suspected: our environment and our behavior can literally change us to the core. It now appears that everything from childhood hugs to drinking from plastic bottles can turn our genes on and off.
One simple example: Two siblings inherit a genetic predisposition to lung cancer. The one who smokes… gets lung cancer. How many times have we heard about the hardy old sod who smoked until she was 93, healthy as a horse until she got run over by a truck? (Okay, maybe not that specifically….) You need both the gene and the catalyst to activate it to get the outcome.
So, how does that apply to love addiction? When I was researching my book, I encountered two distinct and seemingly mutually exclusive schools of thought on the causes and conditions for sex and love addiction. The neuroscientists say it's all biology. They point to brain scans and statistical studies that clearly demonstrate addicts are wired differently from non-addicts. We have more white area in our gray matter. We produce different quantities of different neurotransmitters. We have specific, quantifiable genetic variations.
The psychologists, on the other hand, tell me it's all caused by childhood trauma. You were sexually abused as a child? You grow up to be a sex addict. You were emotionally abandoned as a baby? You grow up to be a love addict. Addiction is the great psychic hole caused by parental abandonment, a hole the addict seeks to fill with food or love or alcohol or cigarette smoke… whatever you got, baby.
Nature or nurture? It's hardly a new argument, but maybe there is a new solution. The answer is C: All of the above. For example, according to a 2009 study reported by the University of Utah, "Child abuse leaves an epigenetic mark on the brain. In a comparison of suicide victims who were abused or not, only the abused victims had an epigenetic tag on the GR [glucocorticoid receptor] gene. Interestingly, the GR gene receives a similar epigenetic tag in rat pups who receive low quality care from their mothers."
In other words, hit your kid or forget to feed your furry rat baby, and you leave permanent changes on its double helix. Changes which may lead to self-destructive behavior. Changes which can be inherited by the next generation, by the way.
So go ahead, blame childhood trauma if you want. Or blame neurochemistry. But epigenetics tells us that you need both the gasoline and the match to start the fire. It's a concept those crusty old alcoholics who started the 12-step programs came up with back in the 1930s: Addiction is an allergy of the body, an obsession of the mind, and a malady of the spirit.

It's not even the rule for ext3. You can easily switch to writeback and get:
> Data ordering is not preserved - data may be written into the main file system after its metadata has been committed to the journal. This is rumoured to be the highest-throughput option. It guarantees internal file system integrity, however it can allow old data to appear in files after a crash and journal recovery.
There must be dozens of other file systems in all sorts of POSIX compatible OSes that don't behave that way (i.e. data=ordered). So, fixing one file system isn't going to be good enough solution, I think.
What's wrong with applying correct idioms in applications, the way emacs (and vim?) do?
An interesting link

A simple "write data to disk" operation would have unnecessary complexity, as the slides show (a collection #ifdefs and run-time ifs). This is insane. The operating system (and hence by extension, the underlying filesystem) is supposed to abstract things away, not make things harder.
A sane filesystem should have the previous version of a file available intact, no matter when the crash occurred. To put it another way, why replicate the "safe save" functionality in each app when it can be done once in the filesystem ?
Posted Mar 13, 2009 10:41 UTC (Fri) by bojan (subscriber, #14302) [Link]
Unfortunately, that's the status of POSIX right now. And the complexity can be put into a library for everyone to share.
> A sane filesystem should have the previous version of a file available intact, no matter when the crash occurred. To put it another way, why replicate the "safe save" functionality in each app when it can be done once in the filesystem ?
Because the reality is that right now POSIX doesn't demand it, so your app is bound to bump into a file system here and there that requires exactly that. An app written safely will work with both types of file system semantics. The opposite is not true.
Posted Mar 15, 2009 13:53 UTC (Sun) by kleptog (subscriber, #1183) [Link]
1. I care that my application works correctly in the face of crashes on Linux on the default filesystem, in which case the above fixes will do it.
2. I care that my application works correctly in the face of crashes on any POSIX compliant OS, in which case you need to fix the app.
Unfortunately I come across a lot of code where the writer didn't even consider the problem, leaving bogus state even if you just kill the application at the wrong moment. I sincerely hope this brouhaha will at least cause more people to pay attention to the issue.
Posted Mar 15, 2009 18:08 UTC (Sun) by skybrian (subscriber, #365) [Link]
Also, what the most carefully written apps do isn't particularly relevant to what the filesystem should do. The choice for filesystem writers is:
a) implement just the bare standards, and most people won't use your filesystem because their apps lose data, even if it's faster.
b) implement nicer semantics so that people will actually prefer your filesystem over others. Decreased data loss after a system crash, even for poorly written apps, is such a feature.
It's the same tradeoff that exists for people who write web browsers. When the standards are too weak to achieve compatibility with most apps, you have to go beyond them. You need both good performance and good compatibility.
Without this patch, ext4 would not be competitive with ext3.

Lynn Hill is a legendary female rock climber. In the 1980s she helped define sport climbing in the United States, most notably by being the first person to make a free ascent up the Nose Route on El Capitan in Yosemite. Like any experienced, well-seasoned person whose passion speaks all the words they need not say, Hill's climbing is fluid, graceful and timeless.
See Hill in action here:
As a cyclist, a skateboarder and, in recent years, a boulderer, I always seek out finesse over tactlessness, fluidity over rigidness and a strong line over a technical zigzag. In cycling, it's called souplesse — the rhythm of one's legs and spin. In skateboarding, it's the smoothness of a line of tricks and how you piece them together to be cohesive and explosive, like a song that builds to a climax.
There's a parallel in my mind between these aspects of the physical things I like to do and the craft that I spend doing on a screen. The similarity is narrative. Telling a story in your output. In that video, Lynn Hill spins together a solid structure of a story that shows you her journey — you can actually see her thinking, figuring it out in her mind as she goes along the route. In bouldering, routes are called problems. And the act of topping out (reaching the summit) is called solving a problem.
Sounds like design or development, right?
The work we do — identities, websites, applications and bridging the gap from desktop to web to mobile — is a story we need to tell cohesively and with the utmost consideration.
It shouldn't be janky. It shouldn't be abrupt. It shouldn't be awkward. It shouldn't be over the top. It shouldn't be x for x's sake.
It should be measured. It should be cognizant. It should be aware. It should be respectful. It should be everything that needs to be there and nothing more.
Restraint is more impactful than showing power.
The tendency in our industry is to flex muscle from the outset when truly we should adopt a quiet, internal strength that simmers and stews, building momentum over the course of a narrative.
Be smooth, be strong, be quiet.
This post first appeared in January 2013 on The Pastry Box Project.
This is a great talk by Brad Frost on CreativeMornings Pittsburgh. Brad's speaking style reminds me a touch of Aaron Draplin's. Or maybe it's the sentiment. I agree with a lot of what Brad had to say.
I've become extremely reliant on Rdio and my social network on it to enable me to discover music that's really worthwhile. When I see an artist or album constantly in Heavy Rotation, there's a weird skepticism that happens with me. I'll see it, but not listen to it for weeks, even months. And then eventually, my curiosity, or rather, the dogmatic consistency of seeing that particular album just there in my Heavy Rotation begs me to listen to it. And I do. It's a weird filter — that I need to be sure that it's been vetted for long periods of time before I decide that yes, if my friends dig it, then maybe I should be listening to it.
And so it was that way with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. I'd been hearing about their album, The Heist, for a while and I finally gave it a spin. I was instantly hooked. And like any smitten music listener, I delved into the modern day version of liner notes — a Google search to bring up their Wikipedia page. I haven't heard as impressive of a rap/hip-hop album in many years. Not one that dug its claws in so deep and reflects the current times we live in lyrically than this album does. A huge kudos has to go out to Ryan Lewis, who gets equal billing, in his deft production skills and homage to the past beats, but modern songwriting. It's an album, top-to-bottom that considers the world we live in. A classic undoubtedly.
Enough poetic waxing. Better you catch the infectious grooves by checking out this awesome KEXP performance of Can't Hold Us:
The aforementioned project involves The Goodwins — Daize, Aamion and their children, who take off from homebase in Kauai, Hawaii to travel across 15 countries to explore life on a different path. The trailer is stunning and gives me a similar vibe to 180º South, a film that resonated deeply. I can't wait for this to come out. The website is a beaut too.
A little over a week ago, the fine folks at United Pixelworkers launched a new podcast called Origin Story, the origins of which can be read about here.
I was honored to be their first guest, and today, colleague and friend, Greg Storey has his story available for you to listen to. Go have a listen to both.
I like to think of British gentlemen as blokes. It's a form of affection, undoubtedly. It's the former Anglophile in me — having spent the first decade of my life in London, certain colloquialisms have stuck. Before the new year, I'd heard from Ted Pearlman, who has an interesting vocation: he's a connector. He brings people together.
He emailed to tell me that a colleague of his, who he's working with, Mike Reed, a well-established British copywriter, was headed to the States to break bread with many a good folk, a few of whom I knew. And, would I care to do the same with Mike?
If anything, I'm always open to meet new and interesting people. In mid-January, Mike and I managed to have a good ol' conversation over the ever-excellent coffee at SightGlass (thanks to Ted for taking care of that, by the way). Topics ranged across the board about our experiences, both professional and personal. Mike's doing interesting things across the pond and I was keen to hear about how the digital landscape has evolved in the UK.
My favorite thing to hear was that they have a Silicon Roundabout. I laughed when Mike mentioned it, because it's absolutely fitting.
I'd go on, but Mike has a far better write-up on his engaging and excellent US-travel blog. Suffice to say, I had a great time and am interested to see what Mike gets up to over yonder.
I am very, very fond of Rivendell and the approach to cycling that they have. They've inspired S240s (one, two) and a less race-oriented approach to cycling than I have had in the past. They've balanced my love of cycling out. This is a fantastic film, not just because of what makes Rivendell who they are, but of course, the people.
I was kindly invited by Alex Duloz to be a participant in 2013's The Pastry Box Project. It's an ambitious project and 2012 had some great gems.
My first thought of 2013, about a topic I've thought about a lot, is up on the site for your reading pleasure.
I'll be contributing an article every month for 2013. I hope you read along.
Online identity and ownership have been proliferating my thoughts of late. The surge of networks, platforms, mediums and context has shifted from a singular experience to a veritable sea of content afloat, hoping to rear in a big catch. As content generators, we are fish looking to swim from a pond to the ocean.
Having published various forms of content on my own sites for many years and more recently a bit on other sites, there's a bit of experimentation here.
Things to think about, each affected by the preceding item:
I don't have an answer yet. In fact, I don't think this question should be answered for you — it's certainly one, that like a shoe, will fit after trial and error. If it fits, keep on walking.
I tweeted a few thoughts on this earlier today, and some thoughtful articles resurfaced. I've read all of these before, but they're worth reading again to contemplate. They hit points from one extreme to the other, with coverage also on the middle ground.
Today, our latest work with Twitter and Topsy went live. Building on the work we did with Twitter Election, you can now track Twitter sentiment about the Oscar race. It's live at oscars.twitter.com.
Watch how Twitter users feel about the movies as the Oscars get closer. You can read more about it on Twitter's blog and The Hollywood Reporter.

Hi guys, just some quick questions about the velocity diet. I want to test my mettle and see if I could go through with this diet. But I have a little confusion about it
1. How many fish oil caps do I need to take a day? If I take more then 3-4 I start to get instant pimples on my face. I see some people taking 15 a day, that's pretty much impossible for me. Are there any alternatives?
2. T-nation is such a biotest whore. But I don't want to buy 13 tubs of some over priced protein that has micellar casein. I've 3kg of WPI and 3kg of WPC natural, unflavoured whey. Will this do as a substitute?

An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population - both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
The area of Springfield, OR has a population of approximately 73,885 people. There are 147 internists near Springfield, which gives it a ratio of 1 internist per 503 residents or a ratio of 1 internist per 200 households. There are 29,370 households in Springfield.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, whose agency was embroiled in a scandal involving prostitutes in Colombia, will retire this month, a spokesman said yesterday.
Sullivan will step down on Feb. 22 after almost three decades with the agency that protects the president and other officials, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said.
"He's got almost 30 years of service so he's retiring. He's the third-longest-serving director," Leary said.
Sullivan joined the Secret Service as a special agent with the Detroit office in 1983 and rose to become director of the agency in 2006.
"I want to thank Mark Sullivan for nearly 30 years of service to our nation at the United States Secret Service, a tenure that saw the agency protect five first families, including my own," President Barack Obama said in a statement.
Last year, Sullivan went before Congress to apologize for the misconduct of agents who brought prostitutes back to their hotel rooms ahead of a visit by Obama to the Colombian resort of Cartagena in April 2012.
A Department of Homeland Security investigation determined that the actions of the Secret Service employees entangled in the prostitution scandal had not compromised the safety of the president or any sensitive information.

In Every Language has joined Wellpoint, one of the largest health benefits companies in the nation, Fetter Group, a content management company, and the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) to offer a webinar that examines the management of life sciences content from all sides: content creation, change management, and localization. Conducted July 19th, a recording is available online to GALA members here. If you are not a GALA member, please contact In Every Language for a copy.
The way life science and healthcare companies create and manage content is changing. It used to be all about massive document management, then eHealth, now it's mHealth (or mobile health), too. Technology demands that information be created and disseminated in a diverse and connected world. So how do you manage it?
The webinar explores how issues specific to the life sciences and healthcare industries–like transparency, health exchanges, and consumer engagement–affect multilingual content management. Speakers Terena Bell, Casandra Osterbrock, and Dayna Neumann also discuss how clients, content management systems (CMS), and translators must come together to form a system of checks and balances that keep content under control.

SOURCE Smart China (Holdings) Limited
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the theme of "Pulling together in one direction", this year's European Utility Week (EUW) which runs from Oct 15 to 17 at the Amsterdam RAI continued to attract business players from all over the world to discuss city-wide utility developments such as smart grids, renewable energy, ICT and smart cities. Mr. Terence Yap, CEO of Smart China, a smart city operator in China, brought to the EUW conference the latest development of smart cities in China.
Under the programme "Smart Cities in Practice", Mr. Yap from Smart China, told the audience that China is undergoing a second urbanization revolution which provides tremendous market opportunities.
"The coming out of the 12th Five Year Plan and the MHURD's issuance of pilot smart cities has highlighted the importance of smart city deployment on a national strategic level," Mr. Yap said. "With the growing concerns relating to the environment including pollution, waste, congestion and security, the government is now hoping to promote urban sustainability through the deployment of smart city projects. The second urbanization is going to shift from quantity focused to quality focused, with better emphasis on innovative technological solutions."
Understanding that China differs from the rest of the world in terms of urbanization pace, scale and complexity is the key in delivering right solutions at the right time.
"A holistic city planning approach is vital to ensure that the city is future proof," Mr. Yap said.
According to Mr. Yap, Smart China aims to offer the local government one-stop shop service in smart city development. This includes urban master planning and technology systems integration. The urban master planning will involve not only space zoning and technology system layout designs, but also industrial development designs, which the company believes to be the key solution to the government's urbanization challenge. It will also conclude city stickiness, which aims to ensure that the city residents will want to live, work and play in the city for the long term. The technology systems integration, implemented based on the previous designs, will include the four major technology schemes, including security, energy, transport and automation.
According to Mr. Yap, the group is now in the process of launching two smart city projects in China. "To ensure that we provide a comprehensive solution, Smart China seeks to engage and collaborate with partners, both domestically and internationally. Which is why that we are here, pulling together in one direction, for a brighter future for modern cities."
About Smart China (Holdings) Limited
Smart China (Holdings) Limited is a smart city operator in China, offering total solutions and fully-managed services for smart low-carbon cities, including urban master planning, technology system integration, project management, and operational services.

We all know about the combos EG/EB and NG/IS but what other combos are great!
I used to do a Shotgun + Geyser trap, Geyser trap to knock down persons health and shotty to finish him off ^.^
We all know about the combos EG/EB and NG/IS but what other combos are great!
I used to do a Shotgun + Geyser trap, Geyser trap to knock down persons health and shotty to finish him off ^.^
-winter+shotty = freeze then shatter
-tk + shotty = stun then point blank shotty
-aero dash + shotty = same effect as the tk+ shotty combo except harder to pull off
-incinerate + homing nades = even better homing capability w/ additional fire dot
-winter+aero dash = instakill
-geyser + EB = instakill
-winter+incinerate+EB = instakill (freeze, melt ice so the enemy's wet then electrocute)
-bees+machine gun w/firing boost = pretty much like nailgun w/ bees except with less ammo but w/o the revving up
-slugger+fast feet+aero dash = melee loadout
-backstabber+fast feet+houdini = spah sappin my bioshox
That's off the top of my head
Last edited by Fluvie; 03-22-2010 at 09:59 AM.
telekinesis stuns, shotty kills, it's a 1-2 insta-kill
however i noticed i was becoming just as bad as the EG/EB tactics i hate, so switched to electrobolt/geyser trap with ammo upgrade pistol.
if on defensive, lay traps, shoot from a good spot
on offense, use electrobolt, with pistol to kill or take advantage of back stabber tonic
Machine Gun + Fire Rate Increase + WinterBlast
I Love it :-)
get on fire, then tk something, then throw it at them for long range stun and incinerate...
winter blast the big daddy to prevent him from dying from the flames...
geyser trap + leg up=super jump
about all i can think
Houdini plus Shotty equals win.
My favorite is Winter Blast + Crossbow
Been using houdini+fast feet+backstabber just went 18 and 6 melee only LOL.
Reasearched + Sawed-off shotgun = instant kill
or... small shower with machine gun (only for a little damage) + shotgun = kill
I also love shattering frozen enemies by aero dashing into them
Tk + Gl :d
You may hate me for this...
EB + EG - my favorite
Incinerate + GL - works well for almost every situation

Rock and roll is a funny game to be a part of in 2013. When we're this connected and this exposed to feedback and criticism on an instant and almost constant cycle, rock and roll's decided lack of any sort of hip, self-aware irony makes its earnestness an easy target for the smugness that has come to dominate internet culture at large.

Personal accountability and the Maldonado/Schutlz case
I have been reading various posts and blogs on the internet recently that espouse support for Matthew Maldonado and Nicholas Schultz. I will tell you right now, the reader, that this is an opinion/editorial piece. Hell is too good of a place for these two men as far as I'm concerned. They are scum of the earth. Let me explain why by defining the concept of personal accountability.
Say you choose to drink to the point that you are legally intoxicated, and subsequently get in your car to drive your residence. During the trip home, you hit and kill another driver. Is it the other driver's fault that you killed them? What if the other driver had also been drinking? Does that lessen your guilt?

Mounties are warning the public about a man who grabbed a female runner on a popular local hiking trail last weekend.
Police say two women were running on the Tea Pot Hill trail near Cultus Lake last Sunday around 6 p.m. when a man grabbed one of them from behind.
The RCMP says the man grabbed one of the woman by the shoulder. She was able to escape his grasp and both women ran away and called police.
"This is a really popular place for people to hike and run," RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. "This is an isolated incident but we want everyone to be aware and alert when doing any hiking or trail running in the area."
Police say the man was in his 20s and wore dark clothing. The women described him as being scruffy.
Mounties are reminding anyone heading outdoors to always tell another person where they are going and when they plan to be back. Those walking or running to music are also encouraged to keep it at a volume that does not mask surrounding sounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
So one of the idea of being floated as part of a deal on the fiscal -- to start taxing companies for their carbon emissions anyway why not let's just tax how lot of revenue report finds that a carbon tax could cut the debt by twelve to 15% the next ten years of course without raising anyone's income tax -- -- the companies can get -- -- -- Just passed them on to the consumer dot then -- -- it out thing.
-- here for more and it says Charles this Republican congressman from Louisiana member of the house Ways and Means Committee.
Sorry for the sarcasm I'm getting a little stated this evening.
Do you what do you what do you think about the fishing -- -- -- get ideas there's a solution.
That's a dead issue that's not even under consideration.
You know we need to do tax reform.
The lower rates across the board from where families I don't -- -- raise taxes on south Louisiana families are American families I can tell you that.
And if we don't deal with this fiscal cliff.
The average -- gonna -- -- 3500 dollar tax increase.
And -- it very well could throw -- into recession bottom line is we need to get the fundamental tax reform to lower rates across the board.
To simplify the code it's really modernize -- -- -- that American businesses can be competitive.
And we could take the burden the tax burden off -- families.
That will help this economy growth.
Yes you know it's like at this point everyone's sort of keeps repeating the same thing from their assigned -- work side and we're all talking past each other.
I mean is there any way that were coming to -- solution here.
-- speaker -- there's going to be meeting with the president on Friday.
And now will hear some of the basic outlines of what's being put on the table at that point in time.
We on the Ways and Means Committee -- going to be very very actively engaged in working with our chairman Dave Camp.
To provide good information.
To the chairman and two speaker Boehner about what we want to do with tax reform.
Bottom line is this we have to stop this massive tax hike that's -- -- hit American families and businesses.
At the end of the year and then give it to fundamental tax reform.
And they're gonna things on the table.
But increasing tax rates is not one of them I will not vote due to increased tax rates.
You know congressman this segment was supposed to be about the carbon tax but like everything else.
We can't talk about anything.
Beyond this fiscal -- I mean it's getting -- in the way of everything including this segment we have somebody on from the teachers union.
At that are the teachers education association National Education Association -- -- beginning of the show.
Who was completely stuck -- his idea.
We absolutely have to raise taxes on the wealthy -- -- corporation's you've heard the president earlier today he echoed the same thing I mean really doubled down on the hard line.
What I'm hearing from you is a pretty hard line as well.
And it makes me think that I'm sure we're gonna get to a solution here and then it's starting to feel like we're really gonna go careening over -- Well that is -- concern in I think that what we need to do is get to the negotiation table.
And the president needs to hear our side very clearly.
Raising tax rates on families and businesses right now in this very sluggish economy is a disaster.
It's a disaster because what it could very well for -- back into recession number one and secondly.
Jobs if you want to create jobs but businesses keep more of their hard earned money and invested in things that they do best.
So I think the focus really has to be -- jobs in the economy right now raising taxes is what is definitely the wrong approach.
That's why we need to -- stand these raids.
The current rates -- lower rates for the time adding extended for a year and let's pivot into real tax reform what we have more time to have a real discussion on how to do that.
I thank you're you're saying that you said that the president has to hear -- I heard him earlier today.
He does not hear you I mean he is absolutely.
Adamant if anything he double -- today on its threat to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Where you go from there as you say he have to hear you he's not gonna hear you so then what.
Well I think he had meetings today with the CEOs of companies I hope he heard the message loud and clearly.
That raising taxes right now is not a good thing for business and for job creation.
So we're gonna stick our guns on this now will have to have the speaker Boehner get to the negotiating table we'll see what what what the initial.
Parameters are listed on this discussion.
I don't know I saw that crew walk in and I mean it was the same crew of CEOs that has been in there talking to him forever.
I and I I don't know what they said but they've never changed his mind before -- -- been tried so.
-- can -- really scared about this are right -- and thanks for coming on the show we certainly appreciate your time.
Great to be with you thanks.
