Honda Shows Signs of Getting Into the Electric Motorcycle Market
EVER since Mugen began to race at the TT with its series of Shinden electric superbikes there have been rumours that the firm's ties with Honda mean that it's something of a stealth Honda entry to the arena.
top two podium places at the TT Zero for the last two years, with McGuinness leading Bruce Anstey home on both occasions, lapping at nearly 120mph last time out.
Now Honda has announced that the winning Shinden Yon will appear on its stand at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January, alongside Marc Marquez's RC213V MotoGP bike.
Given the sheer number of competition bikes in Honda's arsenal, is it strange that, with just two show stand spaces, the firm should pick a machine that's officially not a Honda at all to fill one of them?
In fact, the original 2012 Shinden also appeared on the Honda stand at a previous show. But now that the design is a proven winner, dominating in true Honda style during the last two races, surely it won't be too long before a winged logo appears on the tank?

This tea smells fabulous in the package — a strong chocolate smell, with a little cinnamon. But the taste of the steeped tea doesn't live up to the smell of the dry ingredients. For one thing, the chocolate flavour doesn't come through all that much, and overall the combination of flavours just doesn't quite produce a great taste. Disappointing, especially after the delicious smell of the dry tea.

Working in London:
Families usually require a minimum commitment of a year as it provides stability for the children. Many nannies stay even longer.
Both nannies, tutor/governesses and parent helpers will be expected to entertain their charges – families appreciate someone who will keep the children physically active and creatively stimulated as many back gardens are small. So it's important to be creative with outings to the pool, park and library, baking and games depending on the age of the children and the family's preferences.
We will provide ongoing support and advice once you are in the UK. We can introduce you to others in your area and will invite you to join our facebook pages – you will be able to chat to other nannies working in the UK before you even leave!
Nanny Insurance
We recommend all our nannies take out Nanny Insurance – Public Liability Insurance with a minimum of £1 million cover. We are happy to point nannies in the right direction to organise this.
Driving in the UK
You can currently drive for up to a year in the UK on a full licence. We recommend that you get some practice in manual cars before you arrive as they are much more common in the UK.
If you aren't ready to go now, this may be something for you to do in the future! Why not consider doing some training to increase your chances of a great job!
Nanny Training
In New Zealand contact www.nanny.org.nz
Recommended courses are
In Auckland – Ashton Warner Nanny Acadamy
in Wellington www.nzcc.ac.nz and in Christchurch www.teacher.co.nz
A current first aid certificate is essential. In New Zealand contact www.stjohn.org.nz or www.redcross.org.nz In the UK www.sja.org.uk/sja/training-courses/courses-for-the-workplace/first-aid-courses/paediatric-first-aid.aspx
Swimsafe certificates, sports coaching experience, music or arts training are all great on your CV.
Accommodation in London
It can be hard to find somewhere to stay in London, whether it's temporary while you attend interviews, or longer term if you are planning to work as a daily live out nanny. We recommend you try a reputable agency like www.arrivehomes.com

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the larynx. The larynx houses the vocal cords and they are often involved, leaving the sufferer with a hoarseness or a temporary loss of voice. The condition may or may not be painful. Treatment is dependent on the underlying cause; dietary factors can sometimes provide improvement. While many cases resolve on their own, severe or chronic laryngitis should be evaluated by a health care professional.
Types of Laryngitis
Laryngitis is often due to a respiratory virus, such as a cold or influenza. It can also be the result of singing, screaming or speaking loudly for an extended period of time. Inhaled substances such as cigarette smoke and paint thinner can cause laryngitis. Chronic alcohol abuse is sometimes to blame. Finally, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is implicated when acid from the stomach chronically irritates the larynx, explains Drugs.com.
Good Food Choices
Fruits and vegetables provide vitamin C and can play a helpful role when laryngitis is due to infection. Protein foods such as lean beef, chicken, fish and pork give the body the building blocks to fight the infection in the form of protein and zinc. A healthy diet containing all food groups helps keep the immune system functioning properly, so be sure to include not only fruits, vegetables and protein in your diet, but also low-fat milk, whole grains and healthy oils. Laryngitis due to GERD may respond to a bland diet of foods boiled or baked without grease or spices.
Good Beverage Choices
Increased fluid intake is important, regardless of the cause of the laryngitis, because the mucous membranes should remain moist. Water is the ideal beverage but other good choices include skim milk or 1/4 strength apple juice. Try to keep a drink with you at all times and sip it regularly.
Food and Beverages to Avoid
If your laryngitis is due to GERD, avoid spicy, oily and acidic foods, such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, onions, peppers and fried fish. Avoid heavy meals and eating close to bedtime. Regardless of the cause of your laryngitis, avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages while your larynx is healing because they dehydrate you.

5 STARS – GOOGLE – SEPTEMBER 2019"My wife and I just had a chance to work with Barry and Wendy for our recent purchase of a Ford Expedition. They were both both really great to deal with. Wendy, you were so methodical and thorough with the details you shared for the delivery of the truck. We appreciated it! It came up in our conversation that the internet has been a great equalizer that allows smaller privately owned dealers to get good exposure on the internet. It seems to me that this "equalizer" was truly serving the benefit of us as the buyers. What a pleasure to work with a team with integrity that's big enough to get the job done and small enough to care! Well worth the drive from Ottawa!"
"We would HIGHLY recommend Jackson Motors to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Both Barry and Wendy ( and Monster, the dog, of course) were a pleasure to meet and deal with. They are very down to earth, friendly people .
Barry went above and BEYOND our expectations getting the truck ready for pick up and Wendy is such a pleasure to deal with. She made the experience so smooth and easy by taking care of and explaining everything from start to finish very thoroughly.
Very positive buying experience." Garry and Cindy
0ctober 2018
Hi Wendy and Barry; I cannot thank you both enough for the effort put in to finding the exact vehicle I wanted. I know that Barry searched high and low to find me a vehicle that was not" WHITE!" Wendy your efficient handling of the financial aspect coupled together with Barry's expert knowledge regarding vehicles made this to be a an easy process (at least for me). You both went above and beyond !!!!
I would not hesitate to recommend Jackson Motors to our family and friends for their future vehicle purchases
A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER, Sue B (Brockville, ON)
Hi, Wendy and Barry,I tried to write the message below on your testimonial page; however, I couldn't figure out how so I'm hoping you can take it from this email and place it on your testimonial page. Thanks:
We were very impressed with the manner in which Barry and Wendy treated us when we first arrived at Jackson Motors and Marine in Brockville. Right from the start we felt confident that Barry was very knowledgeable of all his vehicles. Usually when buying a car from dealers there is so much wheeling and dealing for hours, it's unnerving. With Barry there was none of this. The cost was discussed, an amiable agreement was met and we were very happy and satisfied customers within an hour.
Barry and Wendy we can't thank you enough. It was such a beautiful ride home to Nova Scotia in our new SUV (BMW). When our son is looking to replace his car in the future, there's a good chance we will have the pleasure of meeting with you again.
Thank you once again Barry and Wendy.
Arnold and Sharon L., Dartmouth, Nova Scotia – 05/23/2017 3:23PM
Mathew, I know you are disappointed that we would NOT sell you the AS IS used truck. I hear you and I understand your frustration. As I previously explained to you, the truck required too much work and it is a "handy man" special. I know from my experience as a Class A Mechanic for 35 years, that the truck you looked at from our AS IS/AS TRADED section would far exceed your $5,000 budget… today and most likely down the road since the truck already has over 170,000 kms.
I have always been a really big believer in great customer service and it is hard for me to come to terms with the idea that I have to say no to someone – thankfully it happens only rarely.
While I wouldn't sell you that vehicle since I didn't think it would be suitable as your first ride, I could help you find a Safety and E-Tested truck in the price range that fits your budget should you decide to give us the opportunity. Your age and budget had nothing to do with not selling to you Matthew, I hope you understand. Best regards, Barry Jackson
We have been looking for a new car for a while and searched everywhere between Ottawa and Belleville. Did not not know a great deal about Jackson Motors and Marine but decided to check them out. So happy we did!!! We found THE car we were looking for and Wendy and Barry were wonderful to deal with. We would absolutely recommend them. Thank you so much, for this professional, stress free experience.
Brockville (Oct 2016)
Buying a used vehicle is not an easy task, so what makes Jackson Motors stand out is how easy Wendy and Barry make it. The asking price for the car I was interested in was reasonable as well the trade-in price. There is no long negotiation needed and the whole deal was done in under an hour. It was well worth the drive from Ottawa.
I can highly recommend Jackson Motors and Marine for a friendly welcome, quality cars and professional service.
Ian M.

Hi Barry & Wendy,
Just a quick note to say thank you for making my new car purchase such a pleasure! It was a bit of a drive for me, but so well worth it for your wonderful service and fair approach to the whole process of purchase and trade. I love my new SUV and would highly recommend your business to others wanting to purchase a "new" used car!
All the best,
Abbey (St. Catharines, 2016)
Hi Wendy and Barry,
I am sorry this is coming to you late but none the less a HUGE THANK YOU for helping us move forward with the purchase of our (My) Mazda! Wendy you went over and above and we can not thank you enough for being so kind to do that! It sure was a whirlwind of a deal. Barry you certainly have a good eye when you go to purchase vehicles, and this was mine in my mind when I had only seen pics online! We have had a road trip to Ohio this summer and it was a wonderful ride!
Thanks again for your friendly, dedicated customer service!

Hi Wendy, I really like the Jeep – it runs great and I get a lot of compliments of how nice it looks. Please give my thanks to Barry for all of his doings for getting the Jeep ready for me… I am being asked for your website address quite often.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the wonderful Tahoe! It was definitely a pleasure dealing with you and Barry to make this all come through for us! Hopefully Barry picked up a car from the auction to get back home! Kind regards,

Hi Wendy: Good drive home, car is excellent. I have to tell you this is the best experience I have had buying a used car, your service is excellent and you really went the "extra mile" (Brockville Train Station)! I will recommend you to anyone looking for a vehicle.

Okay, folks. Time to come out of the woodwork. I need ideas and themes to write about. Anything you fancy. Next week needs to be Humour Week on this blog so hit me with your ideas and I'll see what I can come up with.
Update: So I never got to write a Humour week. Unfortunately, life is just a little too complicated at the moment. However, feel free to list any ideas below so when my nightmare marriage is over I can get back to writing. I am hoping this will be before the end of the year.
Please God let that be the case so I can start the year afresh!

The perils of attending your first ever pilates class when you're the (very) wrong side of 50? I wonder how accurate you can be?ReplyDelete
Thats a good one, Wendy. I'll definitely do that when I've got through this nightmare. XReplyDelete
I also hope normal (wacky) service will be resumed soon: I soooo miss your zany sense of humour. No one else has a sense of humour like yours! I know things are tricky at the moment so, being serious now, take your time.ReplyDelete
Inspiration? Oh ... how about starting a new job when you are over 50?

This is a gentlemans cane made for every day use with a classic, elegant flair. The Claro Black Walnut handle is subtle yet rich looking. I like the Sapele as it accents the dark chocolate and golden grain of the walnut. The handle is a right handed Harrison style, but designed to be comfortable in either hand. Classic but unique. This should never go out of style.

A Desperate Man's Bigotry
So California Republican Duncan Hunter is in a tough fight to hold on to his 50th district seat, so he (this is good, check this) accused his Arab American challenger of belonging to a plot by "radical Muslims… trying to infiltrate the U.S. government." WHOA! Surely just a slip in a desperate and emotionally vulnerable moment, right? Wrong. This was also the theme of an attack ad he approved for his campaign, which The Washington Post has given four Pinnochios (the worst rating ever) over its total dishonesty, and which it also characterized as "naked anti-Muslim bias in an effort to scare Californians into voting for an indicted Republican incumbent." Of course, using anti-Muslim bigotry against an Arab American who happens to be Christian highlights the intersection between anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bias, and reaffirms the joint fight we're all in together. But Hunter's tactics aren't surprising. After all, others have also used hateful and divisive campaigning for political gain (cough, Trump, cough). But what has been exceptionally disappointing is the silence of the Republican establishment in the face of this deplorable trend. That's why we sent them a letter calling on them to speak out. We'll keep you posted on if/what we hear back.TWEET THIS
Keep Your Hands Off YallaVote
Arthur Jones is a Republican candidate for Congress in Illinois, and he's also (you won't see this coming) the former leader of the American Nazi Party. He's predictably running an anti-Semitic and homophobic campaign, but a recent newspaper ad for his candidacy had (we didn't see this coming) our YallaVote logo attached to it. The ad attempts to gain the vote of Arab Americans by going after Israel. And to this whole thing, we say: Hell no! That's why we sent Mr. Jones a cease and desist letter demanding an immediate end to his use of the logo. Jim Zogby further explained: "Art Jones cannot use AAIF's YallaVote logo in a shameful attempt to exploit criticism of Israel to build support for his anti-Semitic and homophobic agenda. This despicable ad not only targets our Jewish and LGBTQ communities, it also does grave harm to the Arab American community" (you can check out our full take here). Now there is a dispute about how exactly the logo ended up in Arthur's ad (with some indications it could be the paper's error), but all that matters is our clear and simple message: our community categorically rejects anti-Semitism and homophobia, as it does all forms of bigotry.TWEET THIS
The Kooky Merger of Hate & Power
The Center for Security Policy (CSP) has been very much in the news as of late. Longtime president Frank Gaffney is stepping down (though still kook-tweeting), and former senior staffer Fred Fleitz will be taking his place. Recognize that name? Fleitz is the current chief of staff for the National Security Council and washired by NSA John Bolton a few months back. Fleitz's return to CSP after his summertime sabbatical within a pivotal office of the Trump Administration suggests this SPLC-designated anti-Muslim hate group will be enjoying even more access to the White House than before. In other news, the Intercept reported on an event this week co-hosted by CSP featuring "high-ranking officials in several branches of the military." Based on military policies cited in the article, we could ask the question of whether these officials should (or why they'd even want to) be associating with an organization like CSP, which advocates dangerous, almost laughable, theories about Arabs or Muslims and national security.TWEET THIS
Down with the Post-Truth World
What has become a new trend in politics? Lying under oath when giving Congressional testimony or during an FBI investigation, unfortunately. Much like other Trump Administration affiliates, Wilbur Ross has been caught in a lie. During his congressional testimony in March, Ross stated that he was "not aware" of any conversations between him or anyone on his team and the White House regarding the addition of the citizenship question on the 2020 Census. In a new document obtained through one of six court cases challenging said question, Ross's attorneys write that he "recalls that [Steve] Bannon called Secretary Ross in the Spring of 2017 to ask Secretary Ross if he would be willing to speak to then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach about Secretary Kobach's ideas about a possible citizenship question on the decennial census." The attorneys added that discussions about the citizenship question between Bannon and Ross took place in Spring of 2017 and "at subsequent times." As we await the removal of the question through the six cases, we would like to echo the sentiments at the Post: Ross, seriously stop rigging the Census. And Congress, maybe do something about the fact so many people holding public office are comfortable with perjury.TWEET THIS
Kicking the Palestinians While They're Down
As if the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, their ending of aid to Palestinian refugees and East Jerusalem hospitals, and their closing of the Palestinian Diplomatic Mission in Washington weren't bad enough, they just shut down the US consulate in East Jerusalem -- the one that deals primarily with Palestinians. It was sold by Trump's State Department as a non-political move done purely for "efficiency," but the reality could not be farther from the truth. The symbolic part is the obvious one: With this move, the Trump administration is signaling as loud and clear as ever that it doesn't view the Palestinians as a people who are deserving of a direct relationship with the US. But the practical part is also critical: Palestinians are barred from entering Israel except for special circumstances. So, by declaring the US Embassy to Israel in West Jerusalem (off limits to most Palestinians) will be taking on the consulate's work, a literal roadblock now bars Palestinian access to US officials. To get your head around this whole thing, just read Jim Zogby's column here.TWEET THIS
His Last Words: What the Arab World Needs
"The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events. More important, we need to provide a platform for Arab voices. We suffer from poverty, mismanagement and poor education. Through the creation of an independent international forum, isolated from the influence of nationalist governments spreading hate through propaganda, ordinary people in the Arab world would be able to address the structural problems their societies face." -- Jamal Khashoggi

In this Letter, we demonstrate for the first time that by combining the effects of the Wood–Rayleigh anomaly (WRA) and the Fabry–Perot (FP) resonance, transmission efficiencies of one-dimensional metallo-dielectric gratings on substrates can be significantly improved compared to when these two phenomena work separately. Results of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can be utilized to eliminate the necessity of using the index matching technique and the core-shell structure for enhancing the performance of extraordinary optical transmission devices. Further, the outcomes of combining the WRA and the FP resonance can elucidate some of the unexplained results in the literature.

Redback Racing Team
Redback Racing is UNSW's student-run Formula SAE team. The team designs, constructs and races a small open wheel race car against other universities in the annual Australasian FSAE competition. Although initially started as a Mechanical Engineering project, the team now contains members from a wide range of programs including Computer Science, Commerce and Industrial Design.
Custom Data Logger Project
Designing a car requires a lot of data. During testing, the Redback car may have more than 20 sensors running inside it, collecting information about things like wheel speed, engine temperature and g-force. To ensure this data can be used efficiently and reliably, the Redback team has decided to build its own custom data logger. This project will replace an expensive off-the-shelf unit with one designed and built by motivated students from the UNSW Computing and the School of Electrical Engineering. Focusing on innovative design to increase performance and reduce cost, the core of the data logger consists of a Parallella, an 18-core parallel computer the size of an Arduino. The device requires its own software interface to allow the team to view the data, including a dashboard touchscreen to give the driver real-time feedback. The project encompasses a wide variety of fields in computing, such as hardware programming, software, wireless communication and signal processing.

No doubt Enrique Iglesias gets fans all riled up, but one literally couldn't contain herself when the "Hero" singer hit the stage.
Footage has surfaced from the "Hero" singer's recent concert in Baku, Azerbaijan where a young female attendee rushed the stage and jumped right into the singer's arms, wrapping her legs completely around the star. There was no cause for concern on Iglesias' side as the hunky star embraced the fan and even seemed to tell the three security guards to hold off from pulling her away.
Yet once the young fan gets a taste of Enrique, she seemingly can't let go and continues to grab on the singer's shirt and attack him with hugs.

Even if Chromebooks are less expensive than most Windows and Mac computers, it's important to keep it protected. The Evecase laptop bag adds plenty of protection without feeling oversized or bulky. Made from a synthetic nylon material, the Evecase is more than ready to handle some light bumps, bruises and light rain, thanks to the water-resistant fabric. While the design might be protective, it's also ideally suited for all sorts of use cases such as work, school, travel or a quick trip to the coffee shop. A foam bubble padded laptop compartment lined with water-resistant neoprene is built for 11.6 – 12.5-inch Chromebook machines (as well as a number of other ultrabooks and tablets), which encompass the bulk of the Chromebook's lineup. Additionally, a front and back pocket allows you to store other accessories such as a mouse, charging cable or other small knick-knacks.
Generally speaking, the smaller the computer, the smaller the number of ports. And recent Chromebooks have been no exception. While computer manufacturers continue to move to a USB-C world, USB 3.0 is still the dominant port, so a handy USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter will help you utilize your external Chromebook peripherals like a mouse or other third-party accessories. Anker's 3-port USB-C to USB 3.0 offers three compatible ports for accessing data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. The Anker also adds a wired access point with an Ethernet port that can handle data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps. At two ounces and .8 inches thin, the Anker Hub is easily stuffed into a pocket, carrying case or backpack where it's ready for use on a moment's notice.
One of the easiest ways to maintain Chromebook's level of affordability is to keep the memory down. While memory cards provide a quick and easy way to double or triple the memory, an external hard drive can often provide ten times the level of storage space. Toshiba's Canvio Basics 2TB portable hard drive is a standout USB 3.0-enabled add-on that provides a significant amount of extra storage at a minimal expense. With no software to install and plug-and-play operation, the Canvio allows Chromebook users to quickly and easily save files, video, music and more directly to the drive. Weighing 8.2 ounces and measuring only 4.7 x 3.1 x .08 inches, the Canvio is easy enough to stick in a carrying case and take with you on the go. With data transfer speeds up to 5Gbs, moving large files is a snap making any concerns over limited storage on a Chromebook a thing of the past.
While Chromebooks often come with the promise of extra Google Drive storage, sometimes you want something that lives right there on your computer. Enter the SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC memory card that will often double or triple the amount of internal memory that comes with a Chromebook. With transfer speeds of up to 100Mbps, it's easy to move files and documents around, including 24 hours of 4K UHD or Full HD (that's 1,280 minutes) of video or nearly 4,800 photos before running out of room. The card is highly portable and fits into the microSD slot. It is also shockproof, temperature-proof, waterproof and x-ray-proof. The SanDisk Extreme also comes with a full-size SD card for use in older Chromebooks that still require the full-size memory card option.
Beautifully designed with a slim metallic frame, the Sceptre E248W-1920R is ready to connect to any compatible Chromebook via HDMI for a complete mirror of your Chromebook experience. The Sceptre is wall-mount ready right out of the box if you'd prefer to skip the desktop option and go right to hanging it above your desk for easier viewing. Beyond mounting the Sceptre is designed to prevent eye fatigue, thanks to Sceptre's proprietary blue light shift that reduces strain and irritation so you can surf, play and work longer each day. Available as a 24-inch monitor, the 1920 x 1080-pixel display offers a 16:9 ratio and weighs just five pounds. A five-millisecond response time makes watching YouTube clips or action movies even more enjoyable.
Once upon a time, newer Chromebooks came with only 2GB of RAM to help keep overall costs down. While those days are mostly behind us, there are still plenty of Chromebook models that allow user-based upgrades, including adding more RAM for extra performance. If you've chosen a model that has a user-accessible memory module, be warned that there's a risk you could void your warranty, however, the Patriot Signature 4GB DDR3 memory module is designed to maximize Chromebook performance. Designed for quick and easy installation, it's usually as simple as popping out the existing RAM and adding the new module or adding the module to an empty RAM slot. Regardless of which path you take, the Patriot will help find better performance overall, specifically when it comes to the amount of Chrome browser tabs you can have open at a single time without impacting total Chromebook performance.
There's no question that Chromebooks are well-regarded for their long battery life, but sometimes you need a little extra juice. Enter the Ravpower USB-C power bank with 26,800mAh of capacity capable of breathing new life into your Chromebook while you're on the go. Rated for over 500 full charges over the course of its life, the battery is also capable of charging an iPhone 6s over 10 times before requiring a recharge, and it does so via iSmart 2.0 technology that detects the best charging current to maximize charging speed. The Ravpower can be charged from empty to full in just under five hours and has both 2A and 1A charging ports. The USB-C port is where Chromebook users will find real joy with 30 watts of output. That's more than capable of handling a Chromebook's empty battery without skipping a beat.

The hashtag #NeverAgain has become the rallying cry in a movement to protect our schools, students and faculty from further threats. But how can we approach that fundamental goal and what can we do to protect our children in their schools? Part of the answer can be found in providing the right information in the case of a threat. And what can give this information? We believe that the right surveillance solution is critical in delivering this. Let's take a look at why surveillance solutions are so important and how technology already in use is perfect for protecting our school systems.
Information is Key
The single most crucial component of a potentially threatening situation is information. With this, the presence of a threat can be verified and action taken. With the right information, a complete risk analysis can be done that will lead to a practical solution with which to best manage the situation.
Human beings take in a lot of their information through visual means. This is why having a camera in a given situation is so valuable. With only an image, it is sometimes possible to gain a handle on the circumstances and come to a reasonable understanding of the details.
But as good as an image is, a live video goes beyond that and allows for a virtual presence directly into the action. With a live video feed, risk analysis and the corresponding reaction can be continuously modified as needed to fit the moment as it unfolds.
Intelligent Processing With Surveillance Solutions
Intelligent systems can even automatically monitor live video feeds and alert you when something changes. The automatic monitoring capability can let schools watch areas that are typically empty, providing an intelligent warning that an exception has occurred.
The best surveillance systems will allow you to quickly find a noted change in a feed without wasting crucial time searching. Such capability can be vital in determining if an exception is a threat by easily observing its pattern history.
Given the power of live video, it is easy to see why it so crucial to have this capability in today's school systems. There is no better way to say informed up to the moment in a changing scenario than with a live video feed. But that feed needs to be shareable to be truly useful in the case of a threat.
Viewable Anywhere
In order to be genuinely useful, live video in a threatening situation should be able to be distributed to any number of active parties. Today's information acquisition on a personal level has moved well beyond the old ways of distribution.
In the past, information distribution may have been handled through a radio system using a dispatcher. While that still has its place, technology now has the means to put that live video stream directly in the hands of the people in the field.
Any protective plan using a surveillance solution should incorporate the capability for distributed viewing. Such a solution needs to provide for mobile users as well as more traditional applications. After all, the best means to ensure that ongoing analysis happens correctly is to provide the best source of information to all involved parties.
That information is the live video feeds, which is why multiple endpoints, including mobile viewing capabilities, must be an integral part of surveillance solutions. And because that visual data is so valuable, it should exist beyond the grasp of anyone that would do harm to it.
Using the Cloud for Surveillance Systems
Given the importance of the information available in a live video feed, the data should be stored offsite for its own safety. Being geographically transposed protects this data in the case of a major problem on the school site itself.
Commercial cloud storage provides a proven means of storing this important data, keeping it safe for information dissemination later. As luck would have it, everything we need to have a successful surveillance solution for the schools is already found in industrial applications.
Borrowing from Industry Surveillance Solutions
Industrial solutions for surveillance have the answers to our school needs. Most modern solutions already offer video that is viewable from many different locations, and most support viewing from mobile devices.
Industrial surveillance solutions already provide off-site storage to protect the visual data in the case of an on-site disaster or other means of destruction. The methods used are already hardened against inconsequential failure through years of testing and application.
The best solution for safety in our schools is the distribution of live video to multiple locations as the need warrants and off-site storage of the video data to prevent tampering or other means of destruction. The good news is that there are already multiple industries that have developed and perfected the perfect surveillance solution. We just have to implement these proven techniques in our school systems to help make #NeverAgain more than just a hashtag.

Exploring brave new world of weed in the Bay Area and beyond
The lobby of the Hyatt Embarcadero in San Francisco is crowded with standard khaki-clad business-conference attendees. Spread on tables and in booths are the accoutrement of the industry: packaging designs, specialty publications, growing equipment, infrastructure software demonstrations. If it wasn't for the occasional display of cannabis oils, high-tech smoking devices and vape pens, the New West Summit would look exactly like any other trade show.
According to New York writer Joe Dolce, that's the point.
"Notice that we're not seeing many cannabis leaves, green crosses or other traditional indicators here in the way things are being presented," Dolce, the author of the new book, "Brave New Weed," (Harper Collins, 288 pages) says as he peruses the booths and chats with vendors. "That's very much by design. It's true at a lot of (medical cannabis) dispensaries too. The industry is growing up; we're not talking about stoner culture or dealers anymore."
Cannabis' evolving place in mainstream culture is exactly what Dolce explores in his book. The former editor in chief of Details and Star magazines, who runs a presentation and media training company that regularly brings him to Silicon Valley, takes the reader on a combination anthropological field trip/travelogue from the tourist destinations of Amsterdam to Colorado to cannabis research capital Israel — and to the current ground zero of marijuana, San Francisco and Northern California.
The discussion has changed in recent decades: Medical benefits of cannabis are generating headlines where once police busts and raids were the primary coverage. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Whoopi Goldberg (who has her own cannabis product line) and everyday people are "coming out of the cannabis closet" about their use, to borrow Dolce's phrase. The medical cannabis dispensaries that California pioneered now have boutique-like aesthetics, speaking more to the lifestyle component of the herb, and selling everything from "flower" (the smokable cannabis bud) to premade cannabis edibles, oils and topical patches.
Perhaps most significantly, California's Proposition 64 on the Nov. 8 ballot has the potential to legalize overnight adult recreational use of cannabis in the country's biggest market. It would be the fifth state to fully legalize cannabis for all uses after Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Colorado. As four other states vote on total legalization (and five others vote on medical use) there is the potential for roughly 20 percent of the U.S. to be fully cannabis legal.
In his travels, Dolce has already seen the shift in attitudes and stereotypes about the plant. Pot is no longer just the dominion of college kids and Summer of Love holdouts; what Dolce's book highlights is the great diversity of cannabis users in 2016.
"There's a phrase I heard a lot when I was working on the book," Dolce says. "People like to talk about their 'relationship' with cannabis." For many, it's been a longer term relationship, others are new to the world of marijuana, and still others are former opponents just discovering its medical and recreational uses.
In the opening pages of his book, Dolce recounts his initial inspiration. Like many of his generation, Dolce had used cannabis in his 20s, then stopped smoking pot in his 30s once "the weed had become too strong, too unpredictable," as strains upped their potency. A visit to a cousin in rural New England who had a basement grow room in 2012 made Dolce realize that for all his previous experience with the cannabis plant, he knew "almost nothing about it."
This epiphany led Dolce down several paths. The book talks about the science of cannabis: tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the commonly known psychoactive component of the plant that produces the "high" and cannabidiol, or CBD, is the lesser-known, "barely psychoactive" component with a number of medical uses. Dolce also looked back in American history to find the roots of the criminalization of cannabis and society's anxiety over the plant's effects. Frequently, he found the trail leading him back to California. The state, and the Bay Area in particular, have a leg up on the rest of the United States when it comes to the cannabis conversation.
"There's a 20-year head start with medical cannabis here," Dolce says, pointing out the stories of San Francisco activist Dennis Peron; Men's Wearhouse founder and legalization advocate George Zimmer; and Aunt Zelda's and Zelda Therapeutics founder Mara Gordon — key Bay Area figures in cannabis' past, present and future. Adding to that is an ease around the culture of cannabis as a lifestyle enhancer held over from the 1960s hippie movement. The future of cannabis — from apps to high-end dispensary experiences, digital infrastructure, education, business funding and dosing science — is being developed in the Bay Area and growing, as Dolce pointed out, side by side with Silicon Valley.
"I missed seeing the tech boom develop from the ground floor," he says. "But I wasn't going to miss the next revolution. Like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, these are people who think different."
The next stop on Dolce's San Francisco expedition brought us to Meadow, a 2-year-old company that links potential patients to prescribing doctors and delivery from local dispensaries. It also creates digital operating infrastructure for dispensaries. It definitely has the startup vibe; in 2014, Techcrunch branded the company "the Uber of Weed."
At its SoMa headquarters, Meadow is hosting a combination anniversary celebration and launch for Dolce's book. Co-founder David Hua, who is an alum of many startups, greets Dolce and introduces him to the participating vendors who are setting up their stations.
"In the startup sense we're like Square; on the delivery side we're more like GrubHub," Hua says before the party begins. "A lot of these guys who have been in the (cannabis) business for decades were really analog in how they operated. We're trying to help streamline things, but ultimately we're looking toward the prize, 2018, two years after possible legalization if (Prop.) 64 goes through."
Although Hua says the co-workers, patients and businesses that use Meadow have created a kind of community that gets together for small events at the headquarters, "It's still tricky to do more public events with cannabis." As guests check in, they receive a hand stamp that allows them to sample products that evening once their medical cards are verified.
The party is divided into several sections: Inside there are two buffets, one with "regular" (noncannabis) food made by local catering company the Cannaiseur Series, which puts together events where food is paired with pot products. On another table are cannabis edibles by San Francisco company Auntie Dolores. These are not Alice B. Toklas' pot brownies of old: Auntie Dolores specializes in raw, vegan, gluten-free and Paleo options, perfect for the ever more dietarily restricted user. Cannabis caramel corn is served in tiny white cones along with sweet and savory pretzels, glazed pecans and "super food" truffles, each with their milligram dosage clearly labeled. Outside are smokables (and dab and vapables) from the collectives Guild Extracts and Madrone, which represent the Emerald Triangle, the region encompassing Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino counties.
The crowd blends new San Francisco tech industry workers and longtime cannabis activists. The outdoor spaces are soon fragrant with blazing bud; indoors, guests crowd around the food tables or lounge on the low furniture, happy to ride out their high in like-minded company. The conversation is about the relative quality of different strains, favorite dispensaries, best edible products and the finer points of sun-grown versus indoor flower with the fluidity and ease that wine is discussed at tastings and opening-night galas. The names of the different strains tell vivid stories: Gorilla Glue, Candyland, Viper Cookies. Among the cannabis celebs in attendance are Ricardo Baca, the founder and editor of the Cannabist website at the Denver Post.
Dolce signs books, mixes with new sources and samples product like the expert he became while writing the book. In his remarks to the crowd, he ponders whether the new, open popularity of cannabis in this particular moment in history and in the tech epicenter of the Bay Area has to do with it "easing the loneliness of the screen-based life."
The following day, Dolce tours Mission District dispensary Medithrive with manager Jeff Linden. While many local dispensaries have looked to old world chemist and pharmacy shops for design inspiration, Medithrive is all streamlined modernity: Microscopes project up-close looks at strains, edibles are displayed in something like a futuristic bakery counter, and museum-quality glass domes enclosing cannabis blossoms are lit with the reverence given the Hope Diamond. Before Medithrive, Linden was a retail executive at stores like Macy's and electronics company the Good Guys; he designed the Medithrive space himself. The overall effect is 2001: A Cannabis Odyssey.
"I like being part of shaping the future of this industry," Linden says. "How often do you get to be part of a brave new world?" He laughs at the inadvertent reference to the title of Dolce's book, but then turns serious. "The vibes of emerging markets tend to be very positive, but you don't know exactly where legalization will go. You have to remain flexible, especially in the first few years when there's going to be a lot of gray area."
"We need legalization and education at any cost," Dolce says. "Education makes smarter consumers. Period."
Medithrive has its own delivery service, and Dolce has arranged a ride-along. The driver, Alex Schwartz, is a patient manager at the dispensary, or "budtender." ("The terms mean basically the same thing," he clarifies.) On three deliveries, we roll from the Richmond District to the Panhandle and back to the Mission; Schwartz brings the deliveries to each patient's door in a black, utilitarian Pelican-brand case, which makes him look like he's transporting plutonium or human organs.
"What you saw today is the future," Dolce says after the ride-along. "Delivery, apps, boutique experiences at the dispensaries. Budtenders are the new mixologists. It's all happening very quickly."
After two days of intensive cannabis outings in San Francisco — and after four years researching and writing the book — Dolce says that the cannabis industry and culture continue to change at a rapid pace. Attitudes may be changing even faster; he feels like he's barely nicked the tip of the iceberg.
"I could definitely see another book in my future on this subject," he says. And he'll definitely be back in California to report.

Every academy has one of these guys (or maybe even a few). You know the guy - he pulls guard and then he's all kinds of crazy legs up in your business. I can bum a good guard passer out for sure. Even worse, it can lead to the man on top getting swept, which is just shameful.
The spider guard game is no longer in any way "new school" in our humble opinion. It's not something that a BJJ player with any kind of experience can ignore, as both guard player and guard passer. These days, you really must be versatile enough to play a spider guard when necessary (e.g., your closed guard circa 1999 is opened up) and you certainly need a good strategy to pass it. And, that's where 2012 Pan Champ,Yuri Simoes, comes in with this solid and simple pass.
Thanks again to Jits Mag for more great video material.
Hey, grapplers. We also want to call your attention to Jits Mag's campaign on Kickstarter to raise funding to publish their 2013 BJJ Gear Guide. Jits Mag has been very good to us here at DSTRYR/SG as a go-to content provider working hand-in-hand with us as a platform for much, if not all of their video content. We think they do a great job of providing top quality content to the BJJ community and we encourage you to give their cause due consideration (and then, give heartily).

Just Say No
Thank you for your articles on human trafficking ("Ending 'The World's Most Savage Cruelty,'" February 2012). They played an essential role in shaping my sermon last Sunday; Jesus' work of freeing those who are possessed makes a powerful connection with the work of rescue and restoration you highlighted.

Music Scholarships
Through a generous donation from a member of the Canberra music community, we are delighted to offer two Canberra Grammar School music scholarships.
These scholarships are aimed towards students currently studying piano, who, having reached a minimum standard of AMEB Grade 4 or equivalent, would now like to extend their keyboard skills by pursuing lessons on organ. This is a rare and exceptional opportunity to extend your abilities and master a new instrument.
Each scholarship is worth $2,500, with the money being used to help cover 12 months of lessons with Mr Christopher Wrench. Lessons would take place during school hours in the CGS Chapel. The full cost of annual tuition (45 min lessons) is $3,250; the parents of a scholarship recipient will be required to pay the balance ($750). The scholarships will be awarded on an annual basis.
Ideally, one scholarship will be awarded to a student in the Primary School, year 5 or 6; the other to a student in year 7 or 8. Lessons would commence as soon as the two scholarship recipients have been chosen.
Conditions of Scholarship
The recipients will be required to:
- Either be a student at, or be prepared to be a student of Canberra Grammar School
- Attend the weekly organ lessons
- Play the organ as required for regular school Chapel Services; and
- Play the organ as required for special occasions.
Applications Close: To be confirmed.
Auditions: Will be held during Week 9 in the CGS Chapel. The audition panel will be Mr Philip Swanton and Mr Craig Woodland.
Applicants may be shortlisted prior to the audition.
For the audition you will be required to play on the piano:
- One piano piece of your own choice that demonstrates your technical ability.
- One hymn – music will be provided; and
- A short piece of sight-reading that Mr Swanton will provide on the day.
Please feel free to contact the music department if you have any questions regarding the two new organ scholarships.
To Apply: Please email your application to email@example.com with a short statement expressing your interest and indicating why you wish to be considered for the special opportunity.

$59.97 $174.95Size Guide
Unlike any other sandal you'll see this season, LILO is a standout. With a 6" asymmetrical shaft height and an open d'orsay we can't really put this stunner in a category other than unique. The only things not unique about this piece are the same soft leathers, perfect heel height and convenient inside zipper you'll find in most all Miz Mooz shoes.
Oops, we made too much. Lucky you! All of our sale items are the same wonderful quality as the rest of our footwear, we just made too much. We admit it, we were overzealous – can you blame us? Look at all of those pretty shoes, boots and sandals. You're welcome.
Most Miz Mooz styles fit true to size but please note there may be variation among them and choose the size you are most comfortable with. We will do our best to point out if certain styles have individual fit characteristics in the style description. Here are a few tips for measuring for shoe size:

Some of the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) include a history of inattention, forgetfulness, hyperactivity, losing track of time, procrastination, poor time and/or financial management, difficulty following through on tasks and poor organizational skills. These symptoms cannot only impact an individual's self-esteem but can also negatively impact an individual's relationships and performance at work or in school.
ADHD is commonly misdiagnosed, therefore a proper assessment by an experienced professional is recommended. Through a psychodiagnostic assessment we can determine if you are experiencing ADHD and discuss what the recommended treatments would be.
We can utilize cognitive and behavioral strategies to tackle your goals. Some of the areas we can focus on include: time management, task prioritization, procrastination, organization and decreasing distractions.

Hi Samuelsov,
This looks great and I was really excited to use it. But after spending 40 hours on this, I have seen that it was in vain because it isn't working as expected.
I was expecting this feature to take the receiver's preferred language into consideration when sending the mail, and omit the those who didn't have that language. For example, if I have contact A who's preferred language is French and contact B who's preferred language is English, and I send a French e-mail to a mailing list with both contacts, that contact B would not receive the e-mail - but in our tests both contacts receive it.
Any idea why this is happening?
Was this the intended behaviour?

The mysteries of Outlook Mobile on Windows Phone explained
I've been working on this write up for a while, but after the great discovery made by Michael Muscat in regards to responsive design, I was compelled to investigate Windows Phone further from an email design/campaign point of view to answer further questions.
Being a Windows Phone user and having access to all the goodies/development tools, I was able to go full out on experimenting with Outlook Mobile on all versions of Windows Phone.
I've been able to discover more about Windows Phone and its native mail app, a summary of what I've found is:
- The official name of the mail app in Windows Phone is Outlook Mobile
- Windows Phone 7.5+ has the potenital for CSS3 support in the mail client
- POP3/IMAP mailboxes render with IE Mobile
- Exchange/Office 365 do not render with IE Mobile, and seem to use an EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) client
- EAS based mailbox accounts render email very differently to POP3/IMAP mailbox accounts
- In Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1, IE Mobile 11 renders some webkit properties.
And more...
Generic information on IE based clients has also been documented as a branch of this write up, because it was discovered during researching and testing.
I'll admit, this write up is more of a documentation exercise rather than being examples/code based, but hopefully it documents key points that weren't previously known.

ECO cycle parks your bike in 13 seconds
It may not make economic sense to park bikes this way, but it sure is fun to watch.
We first showed the amazing underground bike storage systems almost a decade ago, and were somewhat dubious that such a fancy storage mechanism could be economically viable. But according to Designboom, there are now over 50 of these installations in Japan and they are planning a global expansion.
How to use ECO Cycle from 株式会社 技研製作所 on Vimeo.Manufacturer Giken now calls it the ECO Cycle, which sounds more like a button on a dishwasher than a bike storage system, but it's really quite remarkable when you watch the video, how it grabs the bike and stores it (first half of the video) and how it prevents humans from screwing it up (second half).
If you stand on that grey mat inside the yellow line it will tell you to move away; if the bike isn't properly in the slot it will tell you to fix it; the machine anticipates every stupid human move.
Also interesting is the construction. The manufacturer Giken is not in the bike storage business but in the pile driving, heavy construction business. Their real job here is making the hole. The underground cylinder is made of sheet pilings driven into the ground with their "press-in" technology that avoids the banging that comes with conventional pile driving. Being circular, they will be in compression and will be self-supporting, so it is pretty economical and doesn't need a lot of concrete. Then they dig out the dirt and drop the mechanism in. If times and needs change, they can just fill up the hole and pull out the piles.
The pressed-in sheet piles used in the construction of ECO Cycle can be removed, relocated and reused at another location. They may also be used for a completely different structural purpose. ECO Cycle performs a necessary function for a certain period and can be easily removed when its purpose is completed. It can be relocated and reused elsewhere. This way ECO Cycle is "a functional structure" that is environmentally conscious and has a function-based reusable life cycle.
Bike storage is a real problem in cities with lots of bikes. Where I live in Toronto, Canada, I often have to walk a block or two to find a ring that isn't occupied. In Copenhagen there are places where it seems a whole block is filled with parked bikes. This Giken system seems a bit elaborate, but it may be inevitable that the only place to go is down. More photos on Designboom.

I have listed a new property at LT 8 INDIAN ROAD in LAKE COWICHAN.
This 2.8 Acre of beautiful forested land is just outside of the Town of Lake Cowichan border in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. Zoned R2 zoning allowing for a variety of uses including agriculture, B&B, and accessory buildings and structures as well as a second small house. It is a very pretty property with beautiful trees through out the property and nice building sites affording your privacy. Located 20 -25 minutes west of Duncan, this could be the acreage you are looking for.
