The HTC EVO 4G was my very first smartphone and I couldn't have been any happier. Why? Because it was everything I ever wanted in a phone: big screen for watching videos, good front and back cameras, a kickstand, and an OS that lets you pretty much do as your heart pleases. It was like a dream come true.
Now with the tablet revolution underway, I want to be wowed the same exact way when I dive into my first tablet. I don't want something that's mediocre or comes with the promise of getting better when the next version comes out. I want my socks rocked out of the gate. I've already laid out ideas for my dream 7-inch tablet, so this is a wishlist that I contemplated about having in my first 10″ tablet.
- 10.1″ screen: the Android tablet standard
- Quad-core processor: My tablet shouldn't feel outdated after 6 months, so a quad-core processor (preferably with great battery management) will future-proof it right from the gate
- 5MP or 8MP rear camera with Flash: who knows what kind of apps will be developed in the future, might as well have all of the hardware you'll need just in case
- Adobe Flash: this should almost go without saying, but we all know what happened with the XOOM and the iPad
- 3D front facing cameras for HD 3D videochatting and a glasses-free 3D screen: After having the EVO 3D, I can't imagine going back to a strictly 2D device. Recording videos in 3D is pretty cool, but how about 3D videochatting? I like! Only if it has a glasses-free display though, like the EVO 3D (or better)
- Honeycomb 3.2 (or later) with support for SD cards and USB peripherals at launch: This would pretty much eliminate my need to have a laptop. A USB port, like on the Toshiba Thrive, will let me access my external hard drives (to add music, movies, etc. to the tablet), play games using PS3 or Xbox 360 controllers, attach a mouse, webcam, or any other USB peripherials
- Full HDMI-out or DLNA (or both): The EVO 4G spoiled me, this is a must have
- Lots of built-in memory: At least 32GBs, and up to 64GBs or even 128 GBs!
- Wifi-only, but easily upgradeable to 3G/4G if I choose so: I may start out only wanting a wifi-model, but what if I change my mind 2-3 months down the road? Do I have to buy a new tablet? No, I should be able to just send it in to the manufacturer and they could upgrade it just like they did with the XOOM. Carriers should offer a month-to-month plan option, in addition to the traditional contract option
- Infrared: A tablet is the ultimate couch companion, and the ability to use it as a universal remote would be awesome. Honestly, IR-capabilities is the only feature I'm envious that iPhone users have. Imagine the types of apps that Comcast, TV Guide, or TiVO can make with a tablet that have this ability? Netflix-type channel guide, full TV show/movie synopsis, Twitter/Facebook integration, tap the show to change to the channel on your TV. It's the future!
- Two-way Chrome-to-Phone functionality between devices: Chrome-to-Phone is one of my favorite features on Android. Press one button from your laptop's web browser and the webpage, YouTube video, or Google Map is immediately available on your phone. Too bad it currently only works one way. I'd like to be able to go from my phone to my tablet, from my tablet to my phone, from my tablet to my Google TV or laptop, and from my Google TV to my tablet with the tap of a button.
- Access to tons of content: Netflix, Netflix 3D, ESPN 3D, live NBA/NFL games, Google/YouTube Movies, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, HBO, Magazines, Newspapers, Books, etc. There should be no shortage of content
- Slide out keyboard like the ASUS Slider: Let's face it, typing on a 10-inch touchscreen is less than ideal. It's the single most important factor handicapping tablets from taking over laptops and personal computers. With a screen this size, I need to be able to type on a physical keyboard so I can blind-type without making corrections to every other word. Not only is the keyboard itself useful but it also solves the problem of needing a kickstand when you want to watch movies or YouTube videos. ASUS's slide-out keyboard is the best idea I've ever seen for a tablet
- Thin and lightweight design: I understand that with a slide-out keyboard, it can't be as slim as the Galaxy 10.1, but it should aim to be as slim and as light as possible
- Manufacturer skins are ok, as long as we have the option to revert to stock Android if we choose to: This should be as easy as switching between Homescreen Launcher Replacements. Stock Honeycomb is nice, but what if I want to see what Sense for Tablets is like? What if my tablet ships with Sense, but I want to check out stock Honeycomb? I should be able to switch just like I can switch between GO Launcher, ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, and HTC Sense on my Android phone
- Excellent battery: I don't know what battery life is like on tablets today, but I'd like to go at least 12+ hours under heavy use in a single day before my battery icon turns yellow.
- Seamless tethering from an Android phone to the tablet: This goes back to the USB support mentioned above, PdaNet on an Android phone could be used to tether to the tablet
- With Google branding: See point #6 at the reference link
- Google+ with full Hangout integration: Google+ Hangouts are so cool. With a screen that's 10-inches, one-to-one videochatting just don't cut it anymore (unless it's 3D)
- Sub-$650 price point: Honestly, I'd probably pay XOOM prices for a tablet that has this many features, but to make it appealing to the general consumer, a price point at $650 or less would be easier to swallow
That pretty much sums up my tablet wishlist, and until I hear of something coming out soon that's somewhere along these lines I probably won't be getting a tablet. Everything that's currently coming out just gets outdated too fast – yes, iPads too. Hopefully this article gets to some prominent Android manufacturers before the holiday tablets go into production. What would you guys like included in your dream tablet? Let me know in the comments.

In Bensham,1,204 people signed a petition against plans for a new Tesco Express on the site of the former Honeysuckle Arms pub after shopkeepers feared they would be forced to close down. Business owners along Coatsworth Road raised concerns about its potential impact on their trade. Many fear they won't be able to keep with up with the competition from the store. They also questioned the need for another Tesco just a few minutes away from the major new store being built in Gateshead town centre.

KB938979 and KB938194 served to resolve common compatibility, performance and reliability problems impacting Vista RTM. The documentation associated with KB938979 was overhauled in order to reflect the release of Vista SP1, but the binaries of the update are the same.
Microsoft support: This update resolves the following issues on a Windows Vista-based computer:
• You experience a long delay when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.
• A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
• If User Account Control is disabled on the computer, you cannot install a network printer successfully.
• When you write data to an AVI file by using the AVIStreamWrite function, the file header of the AVI file is corrupted.
• When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.
• After you resume the computer from hibernation, it takes a long time to display the logon screen.
• When you synchronize an offline file to a server, the offline file is corrupted.
• If you edit an image file that uses the RAW image format, data loss occurs in the image file. This problem occurs if the RAW image is from any of the following digital SLR camera models: Canon EOS 1D and Canon EOS 1DS
• After you resume the computer from hibernation, the computer loses its default gateway address.
• Poor memory management performance occurs.

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket has become a certified Green Globe Gold member in 2017 having recently received the coveted eco-sustainable certification for the sixth consecutive year, achieving some of the best rankings in Southeast Asia.
"We are very proud of our achievements in sustainable operations at the resort and of our partnership with Green Globe," said Nick Porter, General Manager. "The resort is committed to promoting sustainability, as reflected in our management principles and daily practices. It is our goal to reduce negative environmental impact at all levels, and encourage our partners, guests and team members to do the same."
Several activities have been put in place to reduce the resort's carbon footprint and encourage both hotel team members and guests to be more mindful of the environment, such as several recycling stations located throughout the hotel.
The resort also recently introduced its organic vegetable garden to guests who have booked a Thai Cooking Class at the resort. Thirty minutes prior to the cooking class, guests enjoy a private visit to the garden with the chef, and choose the vegetables and spices they will use in their food preparation during the class.
In partnership with the National Park Office in Phuket, the resort has planted and preserved in its garden a rare breed of white palm trees, found only in Phuket and known to be on the verge of extinction. These trees are now part of the resort's Eco-Trail project, which highlights different varieties of flowers and plants available throughout the garden for guests to see.
A fleet of electric tuk-tuks to transport guests around the resort are also available, as well as hybrid cars when picking up guests from the airport. Sustainable maintenance of the 52-rai lush garden is assisted by its own natural wastewater treatment plant, which provides 65% of the daily water consumption in the gardens.
The resort is also committed to working closely with local charitable community organisations. It has partnered with SOS Children Village Phuket, which is home to more than 130 children of all ages. Established after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, this orphanage receives and provides donations of school supplies, food and toys for the children. In addition, the resort regularly invites the children to the property to give them a glimpse into the hospitality industry. Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket is also offering them internship opportunities and potential employment after they complete secondary education.
"Having achieved our sixth certification from Green Globe is a great honour, and a testament to the dedication of our team in all areas", said Porter. "We look forward to implementing even more sustainable practices in our operational processes in the coming years."

In this podcast, BCB host Christina Hulet explores the ability to create and sustain healthy relationships – what psychologists call sociability – with soccer coach Ballan Campeau of BIFC club soccer and the Bainbridge High School team, and two of his athletes, Tyler Moravec and Quinn Millerd.
How can we help youth create and sustain positive, healthy relationships?
It's an important question for all of us, adults and youth alike, and yet we all know how messy and challenging relationships can be. Who among us is able to navigate all of our relationships well? To be successful at relationships, we need a number of skills: active listening, compassion, boundary setting, collaboration, and the ability to regulate one's emotions and impulses. It is a lifelong journey.
In sharing their experiences of creating solid relationships on the soccer field and beyond, Ballan, Tyler and Quinn encourage us, as parents and community members, to think about what we might do from the sidelines to foster these skills and better support our youth.

Garden plants can grow best in a variety of conditions, but shade plants are going to be ones that prefer to be out of direct sun. For shade plants that will thrive in dry locations, pick ones that are termed "drought-tolerant." Shade plants are great to plant under trees, next to tall fences or building, or any spot in the landscape where there is less sunlight.
Tradescantia spathacea, the oysterplant or boatlily, is from the spiderwort family. It is an evergreen perennial that is easy to grow and drought tolerant. It gets 6 to 12 inches long with an 8 inch stem. Leaves are long and sword-like with white flowers. Grow an oysterplant in any soil with light shade. Propagate via cuttings or seed in USDA hardiness zones of 9 to 11.
Sasanqua Camellia
Camellia sasanqua, the sasanqua camellia, is from the tea family. It is a fragrant, evergreen, drought-tolerant shrub. It gets 4 to 15 feet tall with 1 ½ to 4 inch wide flowers in fall and winter. Leaves are glossy and a rich green color, 1 inch long. Grow in acidic soil in broken shade. Propagate via cuttings in USDA hardiness zones of 7 to 9.
Zamia pumila, the coontie, is from the coontie family. It is an evergreen perennial that is drought tolerant and easy to grow. It gets 3 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide. Leaves are 3 feet long, dark green, and fern-like in their fineness. Grow a coontie in dense shade (it will tolerate full sun too) and water when soil is dry. Propagate via seed in USDA hardiness zones of 8 to 10.
Asparagus Fern
Protasparagus densiflorus, the asparagus fern, is from the lily family. It is an evergreen perennial that is fast growing, easy to grow, and drought tolerant. It gets 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Leaves are light green stems 2 to 6 feet long. White flowers are in summer and ½ inch wide. Grow an asparagus fern in partial shade with regular watering. Propagate via seed or division in USDA hardiness zones of 9 to 12.
Pteridium aquilinum, the bracken, is from the bracken fern family. It is an easy to grow perennial that is drought tolerant. Fronds are 1 to 3 feet long that emerge from a rhizome. Grow in almost full shade (will tolerate full sun too) in dry acidic soils. Propagate via spores or rhizome pieces in USDA hardiness zones of 3 to 11.
Grand Crinum Lily
Crinum asiaticum, the grand crinum lily, is from the amaryllis family. It is a fragrant evergreen perennial that is drought tolerant. Leaves are dark green, strap-like, and 3 feet long with tubular flowers in white. The plant gets 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide. Grow in well drained soil in partial shade or sun conditions. Propagate via offsets in USDA hardiness zones of 9 to 11.

UPPER DELAWARE - At approximately 2:30 a.m., Thursday, August 9, a Norfolk/Southern "mixed cargo" train transporting various types of waste derailed just above the Hale Eddy Bridge, on the West Branch of the Upper Delaware River, near Deposit, NY.
Jeff Skelding, Executive Director of the Friends of the Upper Delaware (FUDR), related that highly visible diesel fuel slicks and strong fuel odors have been detected as far south as Lordville, NY and likely much further downstream. The derailment occurred at a time when the Upper Delaware region has experienced recent torrential rainstorms, in addition to high releases from the NYC Delaware basin reservoirs.
FUDR is in touch with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and other first responders and here's what we know:NYSDEC is reporting that the train was carrying an estimated 4000 gallons of diesel fuel and a "large percentage" has spilled into the river.
At least two rail cars are in the river.
According to NYSDEC they believe the cars in the river are either empty or contain construction and demolition debris.
NYSDEC Region 4 emergency spill team, fisheries, law enforcement, and drones are on site.
High water makes it difficult to capture fuel; responders are looking for eddies and pooled up areas to address first.
National Park Service officials are on site.
UPDATE:Some additional information on the trail derailment just upstream of the Hale Eddy Bridge on the West Branch of the Upper Delaware River near Deposit, NY : This was a non-passenger train and reports are that there are no injuries to the train conductors or other railroad personnel. There are also no reports of any injuries to residents or visitors. We will alert you about any planned public health assessments with regard to the fuel oil spill.
First responders arrived quickly and from many different government agencies including the Office of Homeland Security, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Department of Transportation, and the New York State Office of Emergency Management, National Park Service, and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Numerous other local, state, and federal agencies are on the scene as well and we thank them for their timely and professional response to the derailment incident.
According to the NYS Office of Emergency Management (NYSDEC), the fuel oil spill to the river will have little to no damaging effects on the river and should dissipate rapidly due to the nature of its composition and the extremely high water flows in the river. Action item! The Department of Environmental Conservation is asking everybody who spends time on or near the river to contact them if they see any evidence of impacts to wildife/habitat or fuel oil build-up, especially in the quiet eddies and pools near the riverbanks. Look for a reddish/brownish sheen on the surface of the river that looks similar to brake fluid or transmission fluid.
Please take a picture of any observed impacts with GPS coordinates and send them to firstname.lastname@example.com if you see negative impacts of the spill and we'll forward them to the NYSDEC.

- No products in the cart.
This is the day and age of portability. People are demanding products which are easy to carry and use on the go. Power banks are one of such products. The smartphone industry has come a long way since inception, but poor battery life is something which manufacturers are not working hard on. As a result, phones and tablets hardly survive a full day at work. Power banks allow you to recharge your phone anywhere, anyplace and anytime. Being lightweight in nature and compact in design, they can be carried around easily. Therefore, they are a great product for people on the move or people who continuously find themselves reaching for their chargers at the day's end. Power banks from all leading brands are now available for online shopping in US at amazing prices.
There are numerous variants in power banks, which may make it a bit tricky to decide which one to choose. Apart from the specs of the power bank, you also have to consider the brand name. Samsung power banks are great for all Samsung phones. They are also compatible with smartphones of other brands. Huawei power banks offer great value for money, without any compromise on performance. The following comprehensive guide can really help you in picking out the perfect power bank.
There are many things to consider before purchasing a power bank. The first thing to consider is your needs. Determining your needs will help you in picking out a power bank with the right capacity. If you want to charge your phone at the end of a work day, a power bank with smaller capacity will suffice till you reach home. On the other hand, if you spend a lot of time on the move without any access to your charger, then a power bank with a larger charging capacity will be perfect for you. Charging capacity is measured in mAh. The average battery power is around 2500 to 3500 mAh. A power bank of 10,000 mAh can, therefore, charge around 3 full phone batteries. But one thing to remember here is that higher the power bank capacity, the greater the price will be as well. One final thing to check is the compatibility. You must always ensure that the power bank you buy is compatible with your device, otherwise it won't function properly. Same goes for wireless power banks. By considering these key points, you will be able to buy the perfect device for yourself.

To understand the convergence between global dynamics and local conflict, we constructed The Political Equator as a visual diagram. Taking the Tijuana-San Diego border as a point of departure, The Political Equator traces an imaginary line along the U.S. Mexico border and extends it directly across the world atlas, forming a corridor of global conflict between the 30 and 36 degrees north. Along this imaginary border encircling the globe lie some of the world's most contested thresholds: the US–Mexico border at Tijuana/San Diego, the most intensified portal for immigration from Latin America to the United States; the Strait of Gibraltar, where waves of migration flow from North African flow into Europe; the Israeli-Palestinian border that divides the Middle East, along with the embattled frontiers of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, and Jordan; the Line of Control between the Indian state of Kashmir and Azad or free Kashmir on the Pakistani side; the Taiwan Strait where relations between China and Taiwan are increasingly strained as the Pearl River Delta has rapidly ascended to the role of China's economic gateway for the flow of foreign capital, supported by the traditional centers of Hong Kong and Shanghai and the paradigmatic transformations of the Chinese metropolis also characterized by urbanities of labor and surveillance.
The political equator also resonates with the revised geography of the post-9/11 world according to Thomas P. M. Barnett's scheme for The Pentagon's New Map, in which he effectively divides the globe into "Functioning Core," or parts of the world where "globalization is thick with network connectivity, financial transactions, liberal media flows, and collective security," and "Non-Integrating Gap," -- "regions plagued by politically repressive regimes, widespread poverty and disease, routine mass murder, and chronic conflicts that incubate the next generation of global terrorists."
But while this renewed global border is a working diagram, emblematic of hemispheric divisions between wealth and poverty, intersecting a necklace of some of the most contested checkpoints in the world, it is ultimately not a 'flat line' but an operative critical threshold that bends, fragments and stretches in order to reveal other sites of conflict worldwide where invisible trans-hemispheric sociopolitical, economic and environmental dynamics are manifested at regional and local scales. The Political Equator is the point of entry into many of these radical localities, distributed across the continents, arguing that some of the most relevant projects forwarding socio-economic inclusion and artistic experimentation will not emerge from sites of abundance but from sites of scarcity, in the midst of the conflict between geopolitical borders, natural resources and marginal communities.
Ultimately, the forces of division and control produced by these global zones of conflict are amplified, physically inscribed and manifested in particular critical geographies such as the San Diego-Tijuana border territory, producing, in turn, local zones of conflict. It is in the midst of many of these metropolitan and territorial sites of conflict where new practices of intervention and new forms of "applied research" will engage more meaningfully the spatial, territorial, and environmental conditions across critical thresholds, whether global border zones or the local sectors of conflict generated by discriminating politics of zoning and economic development in the contemporary city.
The need to re-imagine the border through the logic of natural and social systems is the foremost challenge for the future of this bi-national region and of many other border regions across the globe. A community is always in dialogue with its immediate social and ecological environment; this is what defines its political nature. But when this relationship is disrupted and its productive capacity splintered by the very way in which jurisdictional power is instituted, it is necessary to find a means of recuperating its agency, and this is the space of intervention that art and architecture practice need to engage today. Can architects intervene in the re-organization of political institutions, new forms of governance, economic systems, research and pedagogy and new conceptions of cultural and economic production? This cannot occur without expanding and re-coding our conventional modalities of practice, making architecture a political field and a cognitive system that can enable the 'public' to access complexity, building collective capacity for political agency and action at local scales, and be generative of new experimental spaces and social programs for the city.
Border-Drain Crossing
Several years ago, inspired by Antanas Mockus's idea that art is a performative tool that can increase public knowledge and the capacity of communities for political action, we orchestrated a cross-border performance to provoke the notion of the cross-border citizen. We organized a performance in collaboration with two NGO's, Casa Familiar and Alter Terra, representing two communities divided by the border wall -- San Ysidro, on the US side, which is the first immigrant neighborhood into the US, and Laureles Canyon in Mexico, an informal settlement of 85,000 people, which is the last slum in Latin America literally crashing against the edge of the US. These two marginalized neighborhoods bookend a natural estuary on the US side of the border that is part of a bi-national watershed system. This sensitive environmental zone has been heavily impacted in recent years by the increased militarization of US Homeland Security forces. Since 9/11, the US has been building a massive infrastructure of control and surveillance, including the so-called third border, a 150 feet wide linear corridor that Homeland Security has claimed as its own jurisdiction enabling the construction of a new patrol highway that runs parallel to the existing border wall . This new surveillance infrastructure includes a series of concrete dams and drains that truncate the many canyons that re part of the trans-border watershed system, accelerating the flow of waste from the informal settlements on the Tijuana side, which are at a higher elevation on the South-end of the wall.
We chose precisely this site for our border-crossing performance, intentionally encroaching on official institutional protocols and jurisdictions. We proposed an unprecedented public border crossing through a drain recently built by Homeland Security that is located at the exact intersection between the wall, the informal settlement of Laureles Canyon and the estuary. Realizing the performance required us to work closely with local activists in a long process of negotiation with both Homeland Security and Mexican Immigration; the two organizations ultimately granted our request to re-code this specific drain beneath as a temporary but official port of entry for twenty four hours. A significant part of this strategy was to camouflage this happening as a cross-sector symposium, transforming the convening into a 'public performance,' that would enable the audience to be both witness and participant while implicitly using this act of crossing as an experiential tool to render visual the collision between environmental zone, surveillance infrastructure and informal settlement.
As the meetings unfolded around a series of public walks that traversed these conflicting territories, they served as evidentiary platforms to debate the implications of the new border wall and its impact on the bi-national environmental systems, and to re-contextualize cross-institutional debates among the actors who are involved in this particular site, including local, national and international activists, scholars and researchers, artists, architects and urbanists, politicians, border patrol and other community stake holders who have an antagonistic role around this geography of conflict.
This process of infiltrating institutional protocols, and penetrating inaccessible jurisdictional power has been an essential part of our architectural and political practice, mobilizing arts and culture as agents of civic engagement, expanding the capacities of communities for political action, and closing the gap between artistic experimentation social responsibility.
Moving South, against the natural flow of contaminating wastewater pouring from the slum into the estuary, our audience eventually reached the Mexican Immigration officers, who had set an improvised tent on the South side of the drain inside Mexican territory. The strange juxtaposition of seeping pollution and the stamping of passports inside this liminal space amplified the contradictions between natural and national security while also highlighting the artificial construction of citizenship. And the experience of these contradictions highlighted another, deeper paradox: The construction of border walls for the sake of security is only exacerbating insecurity, as asinine logics of division only threaten to produce future environmental and socio-economic degradation. By enabling a physical passage across this odd section of the bi-national territory, our performance sought to exposee the dramatic collision between informal urbanization, militarization, and environmental zones. Can we shift our gaze and resources from the border wall itself and into the slum? Border-Drain Crossing mobilized a cross-border public awareness around shared environmental interests. In this way, we hoped to physically manifest the idea of the border region as a laboratory for rethinking global citizenship. The problems of San Diego, after all, are also the problems of Tijuana; the problems of the US are also the problems of Mexico; and the problems of the world will not be solved in isolation and division
Since 2006, the Political Equator Meetings have taken the form of nomadic urban actions and debates involving institutions and communities, oscillating across diverse sites and stations between Tijuana and San Diego. These 'conversations on the move' have proposed that the inter-disciplinary debate takes place outside the institutions and inside the actual sites of conflict, enabling the audience to be both witness and participant. The meetings unfold around a series of public works, performances and walks, traversing these conflicting territories, and serve as evidentiary platforms to re-contextualize debates and conversations among diverse publics and institutions.
The next Political Equator 4 will focus on the issue of citizenship. The event will be the public unfolding of the Bi-national Citizenship Culture Survey, a platform to reveal and make visible its results, inaugurating a new era of collaboration between these two border cities. As in previous events, arts and cultural activity, cross-sector debates and symposia will be vehicles for mobilizing awareness of these issues, and this time, the strategic instruments to communicate and translate the meaning of the survey to the public.
The event will be curated by the Center on Global Justice at the University of California, San Diego and co-produced in collaboration with local, community-based non-profit organizations on both sides of the border, the municipalities of San Diego and Tijuana and the Bogota-based Corpovisionarios, led by former mayor Antanas Mockus. A preliminary list of national and international artists, scholars, activists and political figures is being developedin collaboration with local NGO's and government officials from both cities.
With the use of projection technologies, audiences on both sides of the fence will witness and participate in a series of performances, presentations and debates.
The Binational Citizenship Culture Survey is a project of the UCSD Center on Global Justice, in collaboration with with Antanas Mockus and Corpovisionarios, Bogota. Funded by the Ford Foundation. PIs: Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman; Survey consultants: Gerry Mackie, Tom K. Wong and Barbara Lee

Well managed to score a copy of the interview I did on National Cable Television from the guys at The Couch, which was very nice of them to do. Here it is below. Would like to thank Sean Pary and Fred Mafrica for setting the whole interview up and getting my handsome mug on television, the models who rocked out the threads, and the humble production crew.
That's it for today, Laters and shit.

FF-04 EVO G4 – The 2016 FF Test Car
The most interesting part of the (for me) very short 2015 RC season, was to test the car you'll see below, the 2016 FF test car – the FF-04 EVO G4.
All this goes back to well over a year ago when we started to think about how a 4-gear transmission would work on an FF chassis, since they have been very effective on mid-motor rear wheel drive buggies. When the TRF201 XMW was realeased, and I had the chance to assemble a gearbox, we took the next step by checking if it would be possible at all, and then the required parts were designed early this year.
A 4-gear transmission means that the motor, when in the car, turns in the opposite direction compared to the usual direction; i.e. with the 4-gear transmission the rotor of the motor rotates in the same direction as the wheels of the car. This has been found to improve traction on mid-motor 2wd buggies, hence the idea to try this on an FWD touring car as well, since they suffer from quite a bit of wheel spin despite the lowish power we run on these cars.
The TRF201 XMW gearbox (also later used on the TRF211), is in many ways ideal for this project, but of course being the made for a totally different car it is not a straightforward job to fit into an FF chassis. Some of the good points of the XMW 4-gear gearbox is that it was designed to hold the motor as close to the diff (rear axle on the 201/front axle on this car) as possible, it also has the motor in the absolute center of the car, and as it is made from aluminium it is a very precise and solid gearbox, while still fairly light. As it also uses the same TA06 diff as used on the Tamiya FF cars and finally looks very good black anodised, it was the availability of this gearbox that made testing this concept a reasonable project.
So once we figured out it could be possible, I sourced all of the required special order parts for the gearbox. As the Tamiya FF-04 EVO production car was realeased late last year we decided it would be the best platform to do a comparison test with, and therefore proceeded to design the required parts so we could test this on the FF-04 EVO base.
The major parts designed and made were; lower deck with new mounting holes for the TRF201 XMW gearbox, upper deck to fit the new front mounting points, and a damper stay to fit the gearbox. In addition we had to have some posts for the upper deck front mounting points and use TRF419 separate suspension mounts, turned the "wrong" way, behind the front arms. We used the bumper from the TRF417FF and a temporary front roll-bar mount (which can not be seen in these pictures).
Additional improvements compared to the normal FF-04 EVO, coming as a side effect of using the XMW gearbox, is that the motor is as I already mentioned in the absolute center of the car, something neither the FF-03 or FF-04 have had. The motor position is also, using the 201 XMW motor plate, 3.5mm lower than the very high position of the FF-04 EVO. This is what required us to use the same modified bumper as on the TRF417FF, as height-wise it's the same as on the 417FF.
Having recently run the standard FF-04 EVO to get a good base setup, I was quite comfortable with the car and happy with how it felt on track, so the next step was to convert the car using the mentioned parts for the 4-gear gearbox.
Putting the car on the track for the first time, was, as always when testing new ideas, super interesting. I must admit my expectation this time was that the difference would be very small compared to the standard FF-04 EVO, but to my surprise I could feel a difference straight away. The car clearly had a different feel on-power, and also super precise during braking and turn-in. Lap-times were good from the start and I had a lot of confidence in the car. With a bit of setup work and experimenting the car was very soon really good.
To get an even more direct comparison I run the car back-to-back against the TRF417FF, which I had also done while testing the standard FF-04 EVO. Since I have run the 417FF as my FF car for 2 years now I know that car inside-out and it is very well setup. But our FF-04 EVO G4 proved faster, even though with the limited setup work the balance was not quite as good yet. No doubt a big part of this came from the improved traction of the FF-04 EVO G4, as the difference was very obvious compared to the original FF-04 EVO and the 417FF. Much less wheel-spin!
I'm also fairly sure the improved feel and response both on throttle and brakes is part of the better lap-time. It is obviously hard to know what contributes exactly to what. No doubt the fact that the motor is exactly in the centre improves stability, but how much each of the differences contributes to the different carachteristics on track is impossible to say.
What we can say though, is that the FF-04 EVO G4 has again been an FF project with very good results so far. Since this first step was only meant as an easy way to test the 4 gear concept, with the layout taken straight from the FF-04, there are already many things that can be done that will easily improve the car.
The FF future is again very exciting!
Now finally, the pictures of the FF-04 EVO G4 2016 FF test car, as it looked when first assembled. I will post a follow-up later with the car as it is currently.
FF-04 EVO – Test 2
For my second testing session of this summer I concentrated on the FF-04 EVO.
The one major change I have made to the car was to turn the rear arms around, so that they're the way they're supposed to be, and the way they are on the TRF418 and TRF419 where these arms were first used. This moves the damper moving point to where it usually is. This change ideally requires the FF-03 EVO rear damper stay (#3408009), which you can see in the following pictures, but no other parts (*edit – I also used FF-03 rear body posts). With this change I run the rear dampers at 63.0mm long, to make sure the damper length does not limit droop.
Before this change of rear damper mounting point I could not get the FF-04 EVO to handle satisfactory, but after the change it was alreay a very good handling FF car. So it's very much a worthwhile change. Why Tamiya did not design it like this/include this part from the start, I simply cannot understand…
The other thing that I'm disappointed with on the design of this car, is that Tamiya did not make the very small effort it would have required to lower the motor position. All it would have required in its simplest form would have been an alu bumper mount together with a carbon plate to go where the standard (taken straight from the XV-01) bumper is. And obviously a re-drilled/machined motor plate. Would not have thought this would have been an insurmountable task for Tamiya…
Because the fact is that the couple of mm the motor is higher on the FF-04 EVO campared to our TRF417FF, is obviously very much noticeable on the track in that the FF-04 EVO will roll over much easier.
Anyway, the FF-04 EVO is now already very good on the track, so for the next test I look forward to testing some completely new FF FWD ideas…
FF-04 EVO vs. TRF417FF
For the first time ever I started the 'summer' season in September this year 😐
Lack of time, lack of motivation, circumstances, bad weather…lots of reasons, but of course not ideal living in this climate to leave it so late. But better late than never, and I can report that FF FWD TC is still as great as it ever was.
Last week I started by back-to-back testing Tamiya's offering – the FF-04 EVO, vs. our original TRF417FF project car. To cut it short, the 417FF was still much better on track than Tamiya's offering.
As you can see we have updated the TRF417FF for this year with a few parts from the FF-04, which I had previously missed on the 417FF. Mainly the alu front bulkhead, and then a new upper deck to go with it. Aside from the obvious benefits of this part, it also allows a better roll-bar mounting as well as front upper arm inner mounting.
I also added the left carbon motor stay support in place of the original XV-01 plastic part.

I, like many of the Regiment played a lot of GW games in the past, but due to a variety of factors we have all stopped playing them in favour of the myriad of historical, fantasy and sci fi games we currently play.
And of course that list is ever expanding, but, never quite extends back into GW products.
For McZ and I, we both had a lot of old GW products, especially Space Marines lying around. So when he found the glorious One Page Kill Team rules on the internet (they are here), we both decided that for our silly Christmas project, we would paint up some Space Marines and play some OPKT!
I chose Loyalists, and since we were doing this for nostalgia's sake, I decided to paint them as Ultramarines. McZ, being the evil character that he is, went with Chaos Space Marines! Since we were painting only a few models, we both decided to challenge ourselves a bit with the painting- McZ decided on Slanneshi marines, so got to paint glorious pink, whereas I decided to remove one of my usual painting steps- ink washes- and instead paint the marines using highlights alone.
We were both really happy with how the forces ended up, and I am sure we will do a better series of photos on them soon.
I say soon, because lets get back to the matter at hand- Games!
So OPKT. What can I say about it? Well. It is simple, fast, bloody and effective. You can easily use your toys and play games, in fact we played probably 4 or 5 games within an hour and a half! And that included a "big game" at the end.
|My Ultra-smurfs take up positions ready to engage the enemy
|The enemy has a motorbike!
|Scout with heavy bolter. Looking awesome.
|Chaos lord vs Sergeant. Surprisingly, Sergeant won!
|Assault marine looking awesome. He then got shot by a noise marine, fell off the tower and died. HA.
|Suprise- daemonette! The scout promptly turned around and turned her into pink-ish mist with the heavy bolter
|This was my Big Game force, 250 points of Smurfs, including a Space Wizard!
|The Chaos 250 points, including a big bad terminator with an autocannon!
|This is the terminator. Not pictured is the remnants of my army in little pieces after the terminator annihilated them.
|And this is a chaos marine, looking good.

…but is this still what we call scannography ?
Somewhere between medical imagery and artistic research, Rodolphe Gombergh proposed 2006 an exhibition called "transparent women" (festival @rt outsiders). Sophisticated technology allows him to show us the inside of human bodies without having to introduce camera in them. The radiologist uses medical scanners to obtain these images…
This is Art for sure, medical maybe but is it scannography ? What do you think ?
And to have an animated view of Rodolphe's Art go to this page. It can seem deranging, strange, weird but there is beauty here and also an other way to see ourselves !!!

UNESCO's MOST Academy on Inclusive Social Development, Manila, the Philippines, 21-23 March 2018
MOST Academy on Inclusive Social Development in the Philippines will bring together researchers and policymakers to explore ways to improve the availability, accessibility, and usage of evidence that is necessary for promoting social inclusion through public policies.
The commitment to "leave no one behind" is the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda and a crosscutting theme of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, despite the widespread agreement on the importance of social inclusion as a principle, its practical application to resolve real-world problems raises complex questions:
- Where do we look for evidence on "what works" when it comes to fighting inequalities and promoting social inclusion?
- How do we achieve, maintain, and measure social inclusion in different areas of social and economic life?
To support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its inclusive social development goals, UNESCO has launched projects in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines to improve the availability, accessibility and usage (commonly referred to as valorization) of evidence needed to design and monitor inclusive policies.
The Philippines Working Group (PWG) composed of researchers, public officials, and NGOs has focused on government programs addressing the shortage of primary care health workforce in the country. Health care is a human right – an entitlement for all. Millions of Filipinos have limited or no access to it, especially the poor and other socially excluded groups like the elderly population, persons with disabilities, abused women and children, the LGBTI community, persons living with HIV, and those in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA) including indigenous people. Those in the lowest income quintiles suffer most from the inequities in access and health outcomes. As the Philippines Coalition for Primary Care puts it: "there is no universal healthcare if there are no health workers to take care of the citizenry".
The Center for Integrative and Development Studies at the University of Philippines spearheaded the intensive six-month research and analytical effort to produce the Situational Analysis to identify the prevailing practices in using evidence for health workforce-related policies, and the Operational Protocols to improve these practices and to promote rational, rights-based, and evidence-informed decision-making.
The MOST Academy on Inclusive Social Development will use the knowledge produced during the research phase of the project to enhance the capacity of professionals from different backgrounds (academia, government, and civil society) and to strengthen the research-policy interface towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. MOST Academy is a capacity-building module within UNESCO's Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme, designed to strengthen the competencies for evidence-informed decision-making in Member States.
The project is funded by the Malaysian Government (Funds-in-Trust for UNESCO).

We all enjoyed our Afternoon Tea experience at the Millennium Hotel. The staff were most attentive and helpful. Our teenagers were a little fussy with sandwich fillings but this was not a problem at all. Sones were still warm, clotted cream and jam delicious. Best of all they packed what we did not eat and took scones home to husbands/Dads. Cakes were extremely yummy too! Left feeling very full.

Social media is a perfect way of incorporating edtech into real world examples, so we've come up with a few subject-specific ways lecturers can use social media as part of their taught curriculum.
First of all, we can concentrate on the use of social media that would benefit any subject area.
Using Twitter to engage with questions and topics during lectures
Instead of pausing for questions and no-one wanting to ask something, they can simply tweet with a lecture or course specific hashtag during the lesson to be reviewed at the end. This is a simple but effective way of nurturing engagement and allowing for thoughtful discussion.
Encouraging the use of Facebook to organise team work
Be it via a group message or Facebook group. This will be easier, faster and more accessible than email chains, and Facebook shows when someone has seen a post, so there'll be no way of pretending that they didn't check their emails. You may choose to facilitate and create the groups - but this is not a necessity.
READ MORE: The pros and cons of edtech in higher education
Live video
Facebook or Twitter live videos is a great way to share things like live conferences with students, or live Q&As (where students can type questions) with people of interest.
Moving on to subject areas, here are a few examples of how social media could be used in the classroom.
Statistics & analysis
A real life example of gathering data from a social media channel created for the class could be a good way to get students thinking about real world applications of their skills. You could ask students to export the information and present it in a readable way, as well draw conclusions and suggest strategies based on the data.
Media & communications
Social media is an important part of marketing and communication, as well as news reporting. Running a social media campaign for a class project will be useful practice, and students can use scheduling tools and listening tools in order to get an understanding of what companies really do behind the scenes. For something like journalism, using a social media event or story (such as #Gamergate) as the basis of a graded piece of work about the implications of online journalism (such as the role of gatekeeping and the public sphere) allows students to use tech and modern examples to explore (sometimes dry or hypothetical) academic ideas.
READ MORE: How to make lectures more interactive with edtech in higher education
Instagram is the obvious tool for those studying and creating art in order to share their ideas. Social media may also be used to discuss the everchanging philosophical definiton of 'art.' When it comes to subjects like History, Geography, Politics, Sociology, and International Development, we may consider looking at themes related to those subjects, such as the use of social media as a tool for impacting change, creating cultural issues (such as the idea of digital blackface) or even as a modern day tool for propaganda.
STEM subjects
Science communication skills can be honed by using social media in a way that gives scientists the opportunity to share their findings in an easy to understand way. Asking students to write a blog of their findings and the implications may be a great way of doing this. Social media is also a good way of focusing on the visual, so setting a task that focuses on the design side of engineering (where applicable) on something like Pinterest or Instagram will be a great way to showcase that side of their work.
An example for law would be looking at the legal side of social media through an exercise - take a scroll through a faux newsfeed and identify any copyright or defamation examples.
Performance arts
YouTube is an excellent way of using social media for performing arts students. Filming a performance and uploading it to YouTube would allow for peer assessment as well as personal review (and the ability to build up a digital showreel).
These are just a few examples of how social media could be incorporated into higher education, and no doubt there are many more ways certain subjects could integrate it into their teachings.
Including social media in lessons can hope to aim at increased engagement via participation, dummy runs of real life tasks that will be useful for students post-university, and by allowing the use of academic theory to be viewed under a modern, example-laden lense.

INT Summer School on Lattice QCD for Nuclear Physics
Seattle Activities
Seattle offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. The climate is mild and not too hot.
Getting around Seattle
- Seattle has a good bus system, with express service from the university area to downtown. You can use OneBusAway to check when buses will be arriving at any stop. It is available on the web and as an app for smartphones. The bus fare is currently $2.25 ($2.50 at peak times) and drivers do not carry change, but you can get one free transfer pass for a second bus ride within few hours. Be sure to ask for one when you pay the bus fare. If you are downtown, you may be in the Ride-Free Area, so you can easily move between popular sites.
- Biking is also practical; there's the Burke-Gilman Trail running from nearby the Physics Building to the west (to Fremont and Ballard, both fun neighborhoods) and to the northeast (past McMahon Hall and on to Magnuson Park). You can go all around Lake Washington if you're amibitious/crazy. You can rent a bike near the university; one such location is Recycled Cycles.
- Googlemap is an excellent tool to help you plan getting point A to B, either with bus, bike, or walking on feet.
Car Rental
- Enterprise Rent-a Car: 5326 Roosevelt, (206) 729-4580
- Budget Car Rental: 6000 Roosevelt, (206) 525-2534
Warm-Weather Fun
- Kayaking is available just down the hill at the Agua Verde Paddle Club (also good for lunch, though lines can be long). Campus canoe/rowboat rentals from the Waterfront Activities Center (across campus to the east from Physics; not far from the gym) There's an outdoor climbing wall near there, too. Or just go swimming in Lake Washington!
Indoor Climbing
- The flagship REI store has a tall "pinnacle". Afficionados may want to check out Stone Gardens.
National Parks
- Mount Rainier: Iconic skyline landmark of Seattle, you can find its shadow on every page of the school website.
- Mount St. Helens: Revisit the scene of the last great volcanic explosion in the United States.
- Olympic National Park has a wide variety of landscapes and features. You can either take a ferry to get there or drive the long way around, but it is worth it!
- North Cascades: There are many excellent hikes at all levels.
- For one person's ideas, see Gajos.
Cultural Activities
- Seattle Art Museum (Downtown)
- Seattle Asian Art Museum (Capitol Hill)
- Sculpture Garden (at the Waterfront)
- The Opera and Symphony are very good. There are many first-rate theaters and some free plays in various parks during the summer.
Other Culture
- Pike Place Market: lively, near the water, rather touristy but still fun.
- Ferry: Take a roundtrip to Bremerton to get a cheap cruise, or go on one of the harbor tours for a fantastic view of the city and mountains.
- Baseball: Seattle is home to the MLB Mariners. Center field bleachers are cheap, and the stadium is impressive.
- Stranger Be sure to pick up a copy of the current week's Stranger and Seattle Weekly. They are free and can be found inside most restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, and also in newspaper dispensers along the roadside. They show event listings, reviews, restaurant picks, and an assortment of local journalism.
- Local Pubs near the University
- The College Inn Pub (4000 University Way)
- Big Time Brewery and Alehouse (4133 University Way)

Four Things to Know About La Vida Feliz Foundation's NYC Grantmaking/
Established in 2007, La Vida Feliz Foundation is the philanthropic vehicle of Wall Streeter Aaron Sosnick. It's unclear how much Sosnick is worth but his foundation has grown rapidly since its founding and held some $433 million in assets in a recent year and gave away more than $18 million. Sosnick has ties to both the east and west coasts. On the east coast, New York City has been a big winner. On the west, Los Angeles and to a lesser extent, the Bay Area have received funds. Unfortunately for grantseekers La Vida Feliz Foundation doesn't have much of a web presence or a clear way to get in touch but here are a few must knows about the foundation's New York City grantmaking:
1. New York City Arts and Culture Has Been Steadily Supported
Past arts and culture grants include a $25,000 grant to City Lore in the a recent fiscal year. City Lore describes itself as "a New York City-based cultural heritage/folklife nonprofit organization. Other recent grantees include Esse Aficionado, a dance company, Howl Arts, "a nonprofit organization dedicating to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side," Municipal Art Society of New York, and Coney Island USA, "a not for profit arts organization dedicated to the cultural and economic revitalization of the Coney Island neighborhood." Coney Island USA received a $90,000 grant in a recent fiscal year.
2. Human Services is Another Interest
The antipoverty giant Robin Hood Foundation received a $200,000 grant in a recent fiscal year. Funds have also gone to Catholic Charities, Project Renewal, "a New York City nonprofit organization that helps homeless and low-income men and women who often have a drug addiction, mental illness," and Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners. Sosnick has been especially steady with his support of Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, which used to be called Where Credit Is Due and is the first outfit that La Vida Feliz Foundation funded when it was established in 2007.
3. Funds Have Also Gone to Education in New York
Funds have gone to outfits such as Inner City Scholarship Fund, Children's Storefront, and Urban Assembly, "a non-profit organization that creates and serves a family of New York City public secondary schools." It's worth noting that Sosnick has been heavily supportive of Math for America, particularly in Los Angeles.
4. A Number of Recent Grantees Work To Improve New York City Communities
Sosnick's philanthropy involves a number of outfits in the New York community that work in issues of transportation, civic space, and the environment. New York Landmarks Conservancy received $1 million in each of the last three tax years. Support has also gone to Fund for the City of New York, Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, Outstanding Renewal Enterprises, Recycle-A-Bicycle, Historic District Council, Tri-State Transportation Campaign, and Transportation Alternatives.

text: Moselle Previous Next The Moselle is the country's longest river, creating a natural 42km border between Luxembourg and Germany. The nearby landscapes have been shaped by the Moselle's course, especially the winding twists and turns that form the 'Moselschleife' (the meanders of the Moselle) near the village of Machtum. © SIP / Marc Schoentgen Mertert port is one of the country's top logistics hubs. It is linked to the road and rail networks and covers a surface area of 65 hectares, with two quays creating a total length of 1.6km. The goods transshipped in Mertert are mainly steel, oil and agricultural products and building materials. © Société du port de Mertert The Moselle valley, sheltered from the wind and graced with a relatively warm climate and steep sunny slopes, has a long tradition of wine-growing. From the hilltops, walkers can enjoy breathtaking views over the valley. These spectacular viewpoints include the famous 'Felsbierg', near Wintrange, with its statue of St Donat – the patron saint who offers protection against thunder, lightning and storms. © SIP / Marc Schoentgen The Wine Route ('Route du Vin') follows the course of the Moselle, crossing the entire valley and taking in a series of wine-producing villages (such as Machtum) with vineyards and cellars. The region's still and sparkling wines are exported far beyond Luxembourg's borders and have already won a number of international prizes (including the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, the Vinalies Internationales Competition and ProWein in Düsseldorf). © SIP / Marc Schoentgen The Moselle has much more to offer than wines and river promenades. There is a whole region full of natural and cultural treasures waiting to be explored. © SIP, all rights reserved Hikers and bikers are able to explore the astonishing variety of the landscapes as well as the region's long history stretching back to the Roman Empire. © SIP, all rights reserved Those who prefer firm ground to flowing waters can find, at some kilometres' distance from the river banks, the vast and luxuriant landscapes of the Moselle region, an orchard for the whole country with fertile grounds and richly varied local produce. © SIP, all rights reserved

Partner Spotlight: Tigard-Tualatin School District
The mission of Tigard-Tualatin School District is to educate every child. For the past four years, Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD) has piloted and developed mental health care coordination services for all schools in the district. TTSD has also operated, in partnership with Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, a School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Tigard High School and will be opening a second at Tualatin High School in fall 2014.
Over 50% of lifetime mental health disorders begin before the age of 14. Children and youth with mental health problems are more likely to do poorly at school, be absent, and/or be suspended or expelled--up to 44 percent do not finish high school. The Mental Health Integration Project at TTSD seeks to a) improve early identification of students in need of mental health services, b) further develop and sustain a seamless and integrated system of school-based primary care and mental health services, including a new school-based health center at Tualatin High School, c) strengthen integration of mental health and health care for all students, and d) reduce racial and ethnic disparities in access to mental health and health services and in associated negative outcomes.
Cambia Health Foundation is proud to support this innovative work with a $248,466 grant through 2016. To learn more about the Tigard-Tualatin School District, please visit www.ttsdschools.org.
The Community Health Worker Consortium is a partnership between Oregon Consensus, Portland State University's School for Community Health, the Oregon CHW Association (ORCHWA), and the Multnomah County Community Capacitation Center (CCC). The Consortium focuses on creating alignment around best practices in the Community Health Worker field in order to help achieve the triple aim of improving population health, lowering health care costs and improving quality. The Consortium has formed a Research Team and an Education Team composed of many organizations committed to the Consortium's mission. The Research Team (led by the CCC) has developed a research agenda to address issues facing the field and is working with others around the country to identify common process and outcome indicators for CHW practice. The Education Team (led by ORCHWA) has developed a toolkit, including a short information video, to educate health care stakeholders about the role of Community Health Workers in health care transformation and beyond.
Cambia Health Foundation is proud to support this innovative work. To learn more please visit the ORCHWA web site.

Has anyone else had this issue? Edit: It only happens when I try to enable replays. I disabled that mod from being installed and it worked perfectly. I would really like to have replays turned on though. Edited July 3, 2018 by Clews207 updated information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
