 inefficient and inadequate.
Data Exchange – The rights to use and distribute data should belong to the person who contributes the data. Currently, the data drivers generate often does not belong to them. For instance, the navigation software knows where we are going and pushes relevant ads. This is precisely why the connected car industry has made little progress; users are not motivated to provide relevant data without proper incentives.
Application Infrastructure – While there is vehicle data available to small companies, the data is extremely scattered and insufficient in scale to provide any significant value for building transportation applications. The viability of connected car applications ultimately relies on an infrastructure that can support the safe and automated circulation of massive amounts of vehicle data.
The ownership and interest of all data should belong to the data provider, in most circumstances, the car owner. This is where the regulation are headed, and car owners are the foundation of CarBlock’s ecosystem, and serves as the link between business and data.
CarBlock will not profit as the middleman in the data marketplace. CarBlock will ensure the free circulation of data and decrease the friction during this process. The purpose of transaction consumption is to merely cover the cost of the system. CarBlock will even subsidize individuals, teams, universities, and research institutions with creative capacity if CarBlock sees the potential for those offerings to add value to the ecosystem.
Data circulation will create a mutually beneficial situation for all participants within CarBlock’s ecosystem. Car owners can earn token rewards for providing data and in return, receive more accurate or reduced pricing for services based on the data they provide. Automotive and transportation companies can leverage the enormous amounts of data, that ultimately drives competition to come up with better, more targeted, products and services built on the data received through CarBlock. All innovators will have to access to the data they’ve been longing for to build more creative services and applications upon it.
CarBlock’s first partnership is with one of the world’s leading connected device companies, nonda. nonda will be the first to use CarBlock tokens (known as CAR) as a reward to current users who are collecting valuable data on a daily basis. nonda’s ZUS Connected Car System provides aftermarket car safety products, like vehicle health monitors and backup cameras, that allow every car on the road to become a connected car – and eventually, a token mining machine.
CarBlock has built a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and developers, and received great feedback and support from industry renowned investors and advisors.
CarBlock will issue CAR tokens as the currency for the future transportation industry. CAR tokens can circulate immediately after being issued via nonda’s current business and is expected to expand to additional partners in Q2 of 2018.
LAS VEGAS – A sunken boat from World War II is the latest object to emerge from a shrinking reservoir straddling Nevada and Arizona.
The Higgins landing craft that has long been 185 feet below the surface is now almost halfway out of the water at Lake Mead.
The boat is within one mile of Lake Mead Marina and Hemingway Harbor.
It was used to survey the Colorado River decades ago, sold to the marina and then sunk, according to diving tour company Las Vegas Scuba.
Higgins Industries in New Orleans built several thousand landing craft between 1942 and 1945, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. About 1,500 “Higgins Boats” were deployed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day.
The boat is just the latest in a series of objects unearthed by falling water levels in Lake Mead, the largest man-made reservoir in the United States, held back by the Hoover Dam. In May, two sets of human remains were found in the space of a week.
Experts say climate change and drought have caused the lake to drop to its lowest level since it was full about 20 years ago.
As water levels drop at Lake Mead and Lake Powell upstream on the Arizona-Utah line, western US states are increasingly facing deeper supply cuts from of the Colorado River. The lower levels also impact the hydroelectricity produced at the Hoover Dam and the Glen Canyon Dam, which holds back Lake Powell.
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton said last month the agency would take steps to protect the system if the seven Colorado River Basin states don’t quickly find a way to reduce use. of up to 4 million acre-feet. of water – more than the share of Arizona and Nevada combined.
An acre-foot is approximately 325,850 gallons. An average household uses between one-half and one acre-foot of water per year.
Both states, California and Mexico have already passed voluntary and mandatory cuts. Water from some upper basin reservoirs – Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah – was released to support Lake Powell.Join over 13 million people worldwide who have discovered Canva.

In a statement in Lagos on Tuesday, George urged Edo electorate to re-elect the Governor on Saturday.
“Governor Godwin Obaseki is an Enigma. He is a good man with a kind heart who has devoted the last four years to the service of the good people of Edo State, with total selflessness and sacrifice,” George said.
Obaseki according to George is “a bridge-builder, a go-getter who is not deterred by the tantrums and the shenanigans of little men who go about trying to distort his image and his incredible achievements in Edo.
“The people of Edo State believe in his hard work and observable developments he has achieved. He is a man of ingenuity and quick, natural accommodating nature.
“Governor Obaseki should disregard the conspiracies and the charades of little men who go about playing dirty politics, sponsoring thuggery, flaming the embers of destruction.
“Godwin Obaseki definitely deserves a second term. He has earned it. He has worked for it. And most importantly, he has the support and the goodwill of all Edo people.

The molecular logic of endocannabinoid signalling
Daniele Piomelli1 About the author
Abstract
The endocannabinoids are a family of lipid messengers that engage the cell surface receptors that are targeted by
9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the active principle in marijuana (Cannabis). They are made on demand through cleavage of membrane precursors and are involved in various short-range signalling processes. In the brain, they combine with CB1 cannabinoid receptors on axon terminals to regulate ion channel activity and neurotransmitter release. Their ability to modulate synaptic efficacy has a wide range of functional consequences and provides unique therapeutic possibilities.

FeedbackGreat to see an American not pack their itinerary with Disneyland and all that weebu crap. 

If your into onsen and want to stay around Shinjuku I’d recommend the Onsen Ryokan Yeun Shinjuku. Brand new hotel with an awesome top floor Modern onsen overlooking the Shinjuku skyline. 

I think for your onsen stay where you are based probably something around Mount Fuji on the way back to Tokyo. There’s an abundance of hotels with private onsen views of Fuji but not cheap.  If you were really keen on an onsen town I’d recommend Yamounchi outside of Nagano on the hills, all the ryokans in the small village share about 10 traditional onsens up and down this cute Japanese traditional village street and you wear traditional clothes walking around trying each one. Also the snow monkeys are just up the road. Sinkanesen goes to nagano so not hard to get too, but possibly out of your way on your current intinery. 

Also Ebisu Yokocho is our favourite place in Tokyo for food. It’s super cool, so many places, very few tourists and locals will interact with you, heaps of fun!Learn something new every day
