My Philosophy [On Teaching]
I entered the classroom with the conviction that it was crucial for me and every other student to be an active participant, not a passive consumer…[a conception of] education as the practice of freedom… education that connects the will to know with the will to become. Learning is a place where paradise can be created. +bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, NY: Routledge, 1994.
I teach because I have been called to do so and as an educator, I follow this model set out by bell hooks. I do not enter the classroom as the "knower of all things." It is my job to guide students to their own higher understanding and to assist them to critique and analyze information, whether it comes from a book, film, or their lived experiences, in a way that transforms their understanding.
I work with students to help them understand that their backgrounds, who they are, and where they come from are vital to knowledge construction. While most students have been taught that they are not central to their education, I dismantle that by working with them and showing them that who they are is central to their understanding, dissecting, and ultimately remixing what they have learned.
Teaching both in the classroom and in informal community settings allows me to use my interdisciplinary degrees, as well as my formal training as a museum/inquiry-based educator, to challenge conventional notions of race, representation, place/space and creativity. This helps students to become independent thinkers; critical thinkers who can then go on to question the words, actions, and mindsets of those who create cultures and institutions where disenfranchisement and marginalization are par for the course.
Fundamentally, true education is tantamount to liberation. As an educator, it is my privilege and duty to co-create an environment based on mutual respect, one that honors inquiry, creativity, self-expression and full engagement. My teaching style is learner-centered, as I understand that all students learn differently — sometimes in a multiplicity of ways — therefore I provide a mix of activities including small group discussions, facilitated discussions, and group projects. I seek to minimize lecturing by assigning readings that instigate robust, active class discussions.
My desire to teach is spurred by my desire to be a catalyst for social transformation and my effectiveness has been illustrated based not only on traditional evaluative methods by both students and colleagues, but also by the connections forged with my students and the work they go on to do academically and within their communities.

I am so happy to be part of Sugar Bee Crafts Red, White and Blue series again this year! You can find out more about the series here. Be sure to check out her blog daily in June to find all of the crafts and recipes of the series.
There is just something about all things red, white, and blue that let you know it's summer. And I am always down for a fun diy to incorporate all the red, white, and blue into my life. This is such a simple and totally adorable way to do so.
Supplies for the patriotic planter:
- white planter
- scissors
- ruler
- red ribbon
- blue ribbon
- glue
- cute plant
- dirt
- small pebbles (optional)
Supplies for the plant tags:
- wire
- ribbon
- letter beads
- glue
I realized that I had some fun red pom pom and blue glitter ribbon left over from a previous project and I decided it was too cute not to use it all up. I measured my planter to see how large I wanted to make the flag for the front. I then cut the blue glitter ribbon and created a rectangle that I thought was large enough for my flag. Using the red pom pom ribbon, I made four strips to make the rest of the flag. I made mine too big at first, and had to readjusts the length of my red ribbon to make it fit how I wanted on the planter.
Using glue, I attached the ribbon to my planter.
Then I put in my dirt and succulent. After planting my succulents, I love adding little pebbles. I feel like it makes the plant look so much nicer, but it is totally optional. I already had black pebbles so I used those, but it would be fun to use red or white or blue!
It already looked cute, but I decided that it needed a little more patriotism :). So I cut a couple pieces of ribbon to look like flags. (You will want to base the size of your plant flags on the size of planter you choose.) I took my letter beads and spelled out "USA❤" and "FREE," and glued them onto the flags. Next I glued them on to small pieces of wire and they were good to go.
I love how cute this project turned out, even though it is so simple! I hope you loved this diy and I hope that you check out the rest of this months series over on Sugar Bee Crafts blog.

What to bring on your adventure
Campers are very active while at camp, so we suggest that you not send new clothing and instead should be practical and clean. In order to keep track of your camper's clothing, please put your camper's name on each item of clothing and equipment. Unclaimed clothing will be kept at camp for two weeks and after each summer camp session ends, it will be donated to local charitable organizations.
Please do not bring any of the following: CDs, radio or MP3 players or iPods, pocketknives, BB guns, cell phones, matches or fireworks. Gum, candy, pop or food as it may attract critters.
Overnight Camps
The following is a suggested list of clothing for the camp experience. Baggage should be limited to one suitcase and a bedroll. This list can be used as an inventory and taped on the inside of your camper's suitcase to aid them when checking out.
Necessary items include:
- Sleeping bags or sheets & blankets
- Pillows
- Dirty laundry bag
- Rain coat or poncho
- 1 long sleeve shirt
- T-shirts
- 1-2 sweatshirts
- Swim suit
- 1 jacket/sweater
- Comb or brush
- Toothbrush/paste
- Shampoo

Rick Rubin tells BBC's Zane Lowe that he and Kanye West are currently "looking at vocal ideas" for West's new album.
As the widely-known Yeezus creation story goes, Kanye West called in legendary producer/Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin to make some clutch edits to the album just a few weeks away from its release. Now Rubin's chimed in that he's working on West's new album, saying that they are currently "looking at vocal ideas" for the project. Maybe it's crunch time again, and Yeezus' successor is now just weeks away from release?
In a four-part interview with BBC's Zane Lowe that will air next week, Rubin confirmed his involvement in the recording of Kanye's new album (which was hinted at by Q-Tip in December) and spoke with Lowe about the making of Yeezus.
"There were loads of great ideas and there were many many tracks and we listened to everything together," Rubin said, referring to the Yeezus demos West originally brought him last year. "He originally came over and said 'I wanna come play you my new album' and I thought we'd be listening to a finished album. Then we listened to about three hours of music, most of which didn't have vocals, and at the end I was like 'wow, so what's it gonna be?' I'm thinking it's a year away and he was like 'well, I'm putting it out in like 5-6 weeks.' It was just a funny conversation because it was completely normal to him, it's just the way he works… today, Kanye West is coming in and we're starting looking at vocal ideas for things for the next album."
Stay tuned for more info on Kanye's in-the-works album, there's no telling when he might unleash it on the world.

Why I was looking for this one on this night, is early Feb is the last time this one will be visible. Soon it will be lost in the evening twilight unitl the fall when it will be observable in the morning hours. By the middle of March it will be out of reach.
After I snapped a few images of this, I went over to Orion and found more targets there, but I will save the stories about these to another night.

A Philadelphia man claims his roommates beat, trapped and forcibly tattooed him with profanity and obscene pictures.
The unidentified 52-year-old man, from the 3100 block of Brighton Street in the Mayfair section of the city, told Philadelphia Police that three of his roommates held him captive inside the home for three days as they beat and forced him to undergo tattooing, police tell NBC10.com.
A police spokesperson said the tattoos consisted of several "inappropriate racial and sexual terms and images." The man's debit card was also allegedly stolen.
The man said he was trapped in the home from Saturday, March 30 at 3 p.m. through 9 a.m. on Monday, April 1, police said. After leaving the house, the man flagged down officers along the 3100 block of Tyson Avenue for help.
Police said the man was severely bruised along his face, legs, ribs and torso and had swollen hands. The officers immediately went to the home and found the alleged attackers, his roommates, sleeping in the basement. During a search of the home, officers also found 155 grams of marijuana, the victim's debit card, several prescription pill bottles, a tattoo gun, ink and needles.
The roommates -- Corey Campbell, 20, Sandra Ng, 19, and Jennifer Pratt, 29 -- and another man, 27-year-old David Thomas, were all arrested. Each have been charged with 10 crimes including Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault, Kidnapping and Robbery, police said. They have yet to be arraigned.
The victim was taken to Aria Hospital Frankford for treatment. There's no word on his condition.
Police say the investigation is on-going.

Longtime viewers of HBO's "The Sopranos" know there are many places in New Jersey to dump a body. And in one of the first marketing efforts to use Google's map technology, HBO would like to show you exactly where those are.
To promote their upcoming season of "The Sopranos," HBO, a division of Time Warner, and Deep Focus, an online marketing agency, have created an interactive map of New Jersey, using satellite maps from Google, and have highlighted important points of the most recent season's storyline. The map has about 15 icons in specific areas where scenes took place. When the user clicks on an icon, the scene plays in a pop-up window, which also supplies a description and a list of characters.
When Season 6 starts on March 12, it will be almost two years since the last time "The Sopranos" was on the air, an unusually long stretch for a television series. Courtney Monroe, the senior vice president of advertising at HBO, said the channel had been looking for a way to help viewers catch up. "We acknowledge that it has been a long time, and this is a very innovative and interactive way to do it."
Ian Schafer, the founder and chief executive of Deep Focus, said Google gave permission to use its satellite maps, which have detailed satellite imagery of the earth, without charge. The map will be available at hbo.com beginning next Monday.
"The idea here is that it's going to be cool enough that people will want to share the experience with their friends," he said.
Seth Godin, an author and speaker on marketing, called HBO's interactive map a perfect example of a way to get online users excited about a TV show. "The real home run, and the reason this isn't just a silly stunt, is that ideas no longer spread directly from mainstream media to individuals, there's a middleman now and that middleman is word of mouth."
Mr. Schafer said the concept of the campaign also mirrored aspects of "The Sopranos," which he hoped would add to the appeal. "The visual concept is, in a way, a surveillance of everything that has happened in Season 5. We are extending that paranoia into the application itself. And it puts it also into a context of reality."Continue reading the main story

This is the first one I have picked up of Shayne's Wings of the Night series. It tells the story of Reaper and his band of misfits that he picks up. Reaper is a vampire bounty hunter essentially and has been sent to kill a rogue vampire. Along the way he picks up Seth, one of The Chosen, who is nearly beaten to death before Reaper swoops in to save him. The duo is then joined by Roxy, another of The Chosen (btw The Chosen are people who have a rare antigen in their blood that allows them to eventually become vampires) and finally Topaz, a beauty bent on revenge.
While Reaper always works alone, this time he is surrounded by people, but it is thanks to them that they are able to corner Gregor and maybe take him out. But there is more at stake and more people will enter into the fray before the book comes to a climax. These are extremely complex characters that we only scratch the surface of in this book. I hope that we seem them again in other books in the series. It is an interesting world of vampires, shape-shifters, and a very rigid code of conduct.

Another perk of this time of year is Christmas baking!
Growing up my mother, my grandmothers, aw heck every mother I knew baked cookies, candy and all sorts of sweets during the holiday season. So yes, I had to continue the tradition in my family.
This year we had a bit more fun as I had the Young Women(12-18 year olds girls) from our church come over Friday night and we had a cookie making party to get ready for the church Christmas party on Saturday.
"C" is for Cookie…
And I am getting the hang of where to shop for all my usual ingredients unlike this time last year! The only thing I can't find locally was Hershey Kisses for my Peanut Butter Blossoms but luckily a good friend mailed me a good box with some in it so I could make some.
What tradition do you do in your family for the holiday season?

Vintage Watches A 1972 Rolex 'Red' Submariner Ref. 1680 With Box And Papers, A 1960 Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3416 With Box, And A 1960s Cartier Coin Watch Made By Piaget
The closer you look at reality, the weirder it tends to look, especially if you're using the twin lenses of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It's thanks to the latter that we can build ultra-accurate atomic clocks (like this one). One of the most interesting features of high precision atomic clocks, is that they can actually measure something called relativistic time dilation effects – but when you add quantum theory to the mix, it turns out that the more accurate a clock is, the less accurate clocks around it can be.
How does that work? Well, relativity assigns an idealized clock – a non-physical one – to every "worldline," which refers to a timeline associated with a single observer, evolving in spacetime. However, as Einstein himself pointed out, not thinking of the clock as an actual physical object leaves some of the picture incomplete. Einstein wrote, " One is struck [by the fact] that the theory [of special relativity]… introduces two kinds of physical things, i.e., (1) measuring rods and clocks, (2) all other things, e.g., the electromagnetic field, the material point, etc. This, in a certain sense, is inconsistent…"
Indeed. As it turns out, if you look at what goes on with actual physical clocks things get weird, and if you add quantum theory to the picture, things get even weirder.
Here's what happens. In quantum mechanics, there is a little thing called Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which says (short version) you can't know two complementary values of a physical system to an arbitrarily high level of precision. For our purposes, the better precision to which time is being measured by a clock, the more uncertainty there is with respect to the energy content of spacetime around the clock.
In general relativity, the energy content of a given region of spacetime can cause a clock in that region to slow down or speed up relative to an observer looking at that clock from another reference frame (technically, a "non co-moving frame of reference.") This is a well known effect and you can actually measure time dilation effects with atomic clocks – a clock in orbit in a GPS satellite runs at a different rate than one on the Earth's surface. Therefore, if there is uncertainty in energy content in a region of spacetime, there will be imprecision in how accurately a clock can run in that region.
Researchers at Penn State, publishing in the Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences, say, " We prove that, as a consequence of this fact, the time dilation of clocks evolving along nearby world lines is ill-defined.We show that this effect is already present in the weak gravity and slow velocities limit, in which the number of particles is conserved. Moreover, the effect leads to entanglement between nearby clocks, implying that there are fundamental limitations to the measurability of time as recorded by the clocks." In their conclusion the authors state, "These results suggest that, in the accuracy regime where the gravitational effects of the clocks are relevant, time intervals along nearby world lines cannot be measured with arbitrary precision, even in principle."
So basically, if you have been staying up nights hoping for a perfect clock, well, the entrance to the land of high precision horology has a new sign over the gate that says, "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here." To read a fairly accessible review of the article in question, check out this coverage from Pionic; if you would like to check out the original paper, it's right here (chock-full of mass-energy equations, but there nonetheless).

Produced locally in Santa Cruz, CA by Hans Losee, a long time bartender, Artisan Elixir has taken it upon themselves to educate the ginger drinking public with a series of "how to" cocktail videos – including a lesson on the Dark N' Stormy.
A quick review of the ingredient list revealed organic agave and lemon emulsion hinting that we'd be tasting a twist on the classic ginger. With an authentic ginger smell, milky appearance, and chunks of ginger floating through the bottle, the pre-tasting excitement was palpable. But after the first sip many of our judges did not know what to make of Golden Ginger. A strong lemon flavor and notes of lychee left many enjoying the drink but comparing it to non-alcoholic offerings you might find at a trendy restaurant. Our judges were also surprised that a drink with so much ginger floating around lacked almost any spice or burn.
Results were also mixed when partnered with rum and lime. The subtle fruit quality was accentuated becoming a citrus finish. It was distinct enough for one of our judges to declare the drink a "Fruity 'n' Stormy." When the scores were submitted, we found our judges were decidedly split over Golden Ginger, awarding a wide range of scores from a high of 9 to a low of 3. This is one beverage you'll either love or hate.

Harvest - Shakhan
Christian fellow rise from your bed
Scrape off the mould that's growing on your head.
Life your quaking, aching small frame and stand.
Out there, there is a harvest field of man.
Tip toe and look through the windows
in the four walls you build around yourself
Time to take down the gloves from off your shelf?
Speak now about the Lord you'll meet.
There in the sky the sun slowly sets
Like a stone down into the quick sand.
Out there, there is a harvest field of man.
Heal that divided tongue oh Lord,
and that split that needs healing on their tongue.
Help them say you the Lord the G-d that's one.
Our dear Master pays overtime.
Yes, its worth you crossing over the line.
There's a great big crop out there in the land
Out there, there is a harvest field of man.
Time to take the sickle in hand
Oh my friends don't be shy
I see a destroying storm pushing through the sky.

The recent fall in cryptocurrency prices saw the market valuation of the 50 largest Blockchain companies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein's Crypto Valley plunge from US$44 billion to $20 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Over the same period, however, the number of participating companies soared by 20% from 629 to 750. Among them are four so-called 'unicorns' - start-ups already worth billions of dollars.
Davos, January 24, 2018 – Investment company CV VC, in collaboration with PwC Strategy & and IT partner inacta, has published its new quarterly list of the largest and most important companies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein's Crypto Valley Blockchain cluster.
The survey finds that, at the end of December 2018, the cluster contained 750 companies using the distributed ledger technology that defines Blockchain. This corresponds to a growth of 121 companies, or almost 20% compared to the last count at the end of September 2018.
The data comes from CV Maps, an online directory of blockchain companies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which is maintained by CV VC.
Mathias Ruch, Founder and CEO of CV VC said: "This new report clearly reflects the market correction that started in early 2018, which is significantly based on cryptocurrencies. However, it also shows that companies developing blockchain-based applications and infrastructure solutions have been able to keep up, while an impressive number of new startups with innovative use-cases have risen to the top."
'Crypto winter', as 2018's severe market reversal has been nicknamed, has affected the valuation of participating companies but not their number. The market capitalization of the top 50 dropped from $44 billion to $20 billion in Q4 2018, a decrease of 55%. Most cryptocurrencies worldwide lost value during this period. The global crypto market according to Coinmaketcap was valued at the end of 2018 at $130 billion. The Crypto Valley Top 50 accounts for nearly 20% of this market.
Ralf Glabischnig, Managing Partner at inacta and Founder of CV VC: "In addition to the growing number of startups we observe increased activities of corporates entering the blockchain space with their own projects or startup investments".

One pager incl. chart (0.8 MB)
Graphic 1: Companies per canton
Graphic 2: Valuations visualized
On average, the top 50 companies are valued at $400 million each. Excluding the five largest, the average figure is still $365million; a sign that concentration is relatively low. The average valuation of all 750 companies was estimated at $27 million. Four unicorns – startups valued at over $1billion – are present in Crypto Valley: Ethereum, Bitmain, Dfinity and Cardano. Around 480 people work in Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the 50 largest blockchain companies. Overall, the industry employs more than 3,300 people. The survey finds that it is business as usual for many companies despite the collapse in value on the crypto exchanges.
While over half of Blockchain companies are based in the canton of Zug, Crypto Valley extends to many other Swiss cantons: 42 are now in Geneva and 39 in Ticino. Switzerland's neighbouring microstate of Liechtenstein registers 38 crypto companies according to CV Maps. There are no entries in the blockchain register yet from Appenzell, Innerrhoden, Glarus, Jura and Obwalden.
Compared to the previous quarter, 15 companies entered the top 50 in the fourth quarter: 4ARTechnologies, Boscoin, HDAC, ICON, Mt Pelerin, Nexo, ODEM, Quant Network, Saga, Santiment, Sygnum, TokenPay Swiss, Utopiamusic, WPP Energy und Zulu Republic. Dr. Daniel Diemers, Blockchain Leader EMEA bei PwC Strategy: "This high dynamic in the middle of the crypto winter is very positive. It shows that the appeal of Switzerland as one of the world's most attractive locations for blockchain startups remains unbroken".
The second report on the Crypto Valley's Top 50 contains a challenger list. According to CV VC, inacta and PwC Strategy&, the 15 startups have a good chance of making it into the top 50: ambrpay, Arca Trust, Blockimmo, Cosmos Network, Datum, Friendz, Grain, Metaco, Orion Vault, Pigzbe, PikcioChain, Qiibee, Request Network, Taurus Group, UTRUST.
As well as CV's updated CV Maps database, sources for the quarterly Top 50 survey include company registers, crypto exchanges, media reports and LinkedIn. In cooperation with PwC Strategy & Switzerland, various valuation criteria and data were established as the basis of the survey: funding, market capitalization, number of employees, and age of company, all weighted on a scale of 1 to 10. Where no data was available, estimates were made and declared as such.
CV VC's collaboration with PwC in developing the Top 50 report is part of a long-standing strategic partnership between the consulting firm and CV Labs, the CV VC's co-working space in the center of Zug.
Daniel Diemers, Blockchain Leader EMEA at PwC Strategy& said: "Crypto Valley has grown enormously in just three short years. Even two or three years ago, there were just 10 to 15 companies in the blockchain industry. PwC was quick to realize the potential of Blockchain and how it is important for companies to understand the technology and to get close to innovative startups in the field".
"Partnering with CV Labs and CV VC gives our clients this access. From the other direction, we also want to bring startups closer to potential investors and partners", said Daniel Diemers. PwC has a global team of 2,000 blockchain specialists.
CV Labs, CV VC's coworking space in the heart of Zug, is home to a growing number of blockchain startups, crypto funds, academic institutions and industry group The Crypto Valley Association since the beginning of 2018. With more than 100 tenants, Crypto Valley Labs has grown fast, opening two new floors of office space in September. "The strategic partnership with PwC and Wenger & Vieli AG shows that established companies are now entering the blockchain industry," said Mathias Ruch, CEO of CV VC.

I've put to rest my anger, resigned —
Unrest cast away with dislike, judgement.
I can't do it anymore, let God judge.
As for me no disquiet, no more riots.
I'd rather love life, be judged for what's true,
Not words or assumptions misconstrued.
I've worked hard to be healthy, to brew —
Something good from poison, eleven-years through.
Because you think it, doesn't mean it's me —
Doesn't make it true, doesn't give proof to words.
Quiet space's essential, sorry for the hurt.
I've no reason to slight anyone; no one.
All I know are bits, pieces some words curt;
It's not about me, I don't hate; heal this how?

airless bicycle tires energy return wheel by britek
energy return wheel – airless bicycle tires by britek
a new system has been developed to eliminate the need of air in bike tires, while still preventing the common occurrence of punctures, tube replacements, even pressure checks. the 'energy return wheel' concept by colorado-based designer brian russell demonstrates the possibilities of advanced wheel technologies.
instead of air, it uses rubber stretched over a series of carbon nano tube reinforced composite rods to provide its cushioning. these rods can be adjusted, changing the tension of the rubber to suit different types of terrain, improves flexing and recoil cycling. with the intention of reducing weight, a 29er wheel made from carbon fiber is incorporated. further improvements include the possibilities of implementing a thin sidewall to keep mud and trail debris out for a more consistent ride.

detail of the airless system

ERW- airless bicycle tires video courtesy of ERW
There was already a concept of Michelin, but it is nice to see an application for bikes.
is'nt possible tuning the pressure during the use!
Wouldn't they fill with Mud?
Great, great idea!
-In the video you actually never see a close-up or/and a slow-motion of the tire which could visually confirm (and better explain) his claimed \"energy return\" power;
-Can you imagine how much junk will be trapped in those holes??
nice idea in the desert! but what about on real dirt tracks? fill up with dirt
Cool, i want some! What are they like going through water? Like treacle i\'d imagine, i wonder if they become unbalanced when full of mud and stones?
Great idea, for most of all terrains , mud is a minor problem in a city.
no more holes in my tires a great idea!!!
Sal, I suppose, this wheel is not for the city. It\'s good idea for warm, dry mountain ride, like author has showed us in video.
And not for mud and water — wheels will become like a sprinkler of s#it, clay and loam will clog of all the cavity and the wheel will become heavy.
finally!!!! i want one! i am tired of my weekly punctured bike tires!!!
bibo, put more pressure next time, 3.5 atmospheres is ok )
Cool crabon stuff this. Useful in a hurricane, wind could blow right through them. Snobby, I know you're gonna be onto this like McFly onto babbleon.
Are they MADE in AMERICA? That\'s Important to me.
What Sugano said, except Canada 4 me…..excellent remark, should be seen more often
For the mud issue they're thinking of a version with a thin sidewall, basically just a shield. That would work I guess.
It's probably a lot lighter than tyres. I would also be interested in a road version?
The great thing about air in a tyre is the low weight. How much do these weigh?
Сбор грязи и камней.
how bout wet snow, mud and small stones and winter climat..?
This idea just seems overengineered. The beauty of air filled tires is the ability to adjust the pressure. I run my tires as high as 60 PSI on the road (warm weather). Off-road dirt riding only requires 35 to 40 PSI. Winter riding on the other hand sometimes requires my tires to go as low as 20 to 30 PSI range. I would hate to see these tires filled with thick heavy slush. Seems like the Centrifugal force combined with the possible air cooling effect of lifting the slush off the road surface would lead to a completely frozen 75 pound wheel. Lets see more emphasis on light weight indestructible tire materials.
To seal off the inside of these wheels are the least of problems. Any lightweight waterrepelling fabric will do!
The fact that they decrease rolling resistance and totally eliminate punctures will make these a totally welcomed invention.
Great idea indeed!
Where can i buy?
Where can I buy from as I do a lot of mountain bike off road please reply thank you and how much
How much are they and where can I buy them
40 years ago children bicycles from CCCP has this same conception on wheels. Tyre was made from special rubber…
Interessante, mas e o preço fica em quanto?
Request – Let me too – Change my Bicycle Wheels with – Energy Return Wheels. Kindly Tell Details of – How to Do That !
Great concept, the idea is very good , but yes as mentioned by other people up there there will be some issues like :
– Large stones stuck between the gaps …
– But my biggest worry is when the tyres wear off … Do you have to replace the entire wheels ? (that will be expensive then)
…they look great with the gaps, you can actually see the technology, good for urban riding, but you got to have 2 versions then 1 with gaps and the other without gaps for MTB ..so i say close the gaps with a flexible material to element-proof the tyres and make it possible to replace the tyres like on the normal wheels ,
Great Innovation tho! make it more efficient and i will definitely get a pair ;o)
Seems like it could have potential to improve tubeless road tires. It would be a great product if it could save the weight and mess of sealant in tubeless.

|The Museum "House on the Embankment" was founded on November 12, 1989 by the initiative of one of the oldest residents of the house, Tamara Andreevna Ter-Egiаzarian. The museum was allocated a room on the first floor of the house, which was the former apartment of the chief guard of the entrance.
Tamara Andreeva gathered many residents of the house. Announcements advertising admission to the museum hung in the entrances of the house, asking residents to recount the stories of their families, to bring photographs, documents, books, and household items.
Before a museum team could be formed, the task arose of making a list of the residents of the house starting from 1931. The search was conducted in the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI), United Moscow, and other archives. Over many years, the museum managed to recover the names of the residents who had taken part in the Great Patriotic War and those who were affected in the years of Stalin's repression.
In 1992, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic awarded the museum the title of national museum.
In 1996, the museum received a grant from the Soros Foundation for the improvement of material and technical basis of the building, and the money was spent on office equipment.
From mid-1998, the Government of Moscow Museum was reorganized in the Municipal Ethnographic Museum of the Department of Culture of the Central Administrative Okrug of the city of Moscow. Olga Romanovna Trifonova, a writer and the widow of Soviet writer Yuri Valentinovich Trifonov, author of the story, "The House on the Embankment," became the museum's director.
The Album "The House on the Embankment"
Author originator Olga Romanovna Trifonova
In 2014, the Museum "House on the Embankment," became a department of the Museum Association of Moscow, and in 2016 became a part of the State Museum of the History of the Gulag.
Today, the museum exhibits not only show the history of the building and the fates of its residents, but also recount the epoch and the symbol that became the House on the Embankment. The museum recreates the atmosphere of the apartments of the intelligentsia of the 30s, presenting original furniture, created by the sketches of the head architect of the house Boris Iofan.
The museum hosts tours, meetings, lectures, urban promotions, and changeable exhibitions.

Noise pollution is a big public concern associated with operating wind turbines. A group of European scientists claim to have found a solution to tackle this problem, assembling an innovative device on the blades.
They are collaborating with a European project called Windtrust, which aims to reduce the cost of wind energy generation by further improving the reliability of key components of the turbine.
Noise pollution is one of the main public concerns associated with operating wind turbines. To tackle this problem, technicians at a Spanish windfarm near Burgos are assembling a new device on the blades. It has been developed under the European project Windtrust, aimed at increasing the efficiency and reducing the cost of wind energy generation.
Furthermore, researchers wish to optimise the use of carbon fibre to build the blades, increase their durability and reduce weight, the aim being to help extend the overall service life of turbines.
At the same time, near Madrid, researchers are testing the so-called "Wind converter", a device that transforms the mechanical energy of the blades into electricity. Technicians wish to maximise the balance between energy generation and machine service life.
Wind power technology engineers today have to face a number of challenges: discontinuity of supply due to weather conditions, difficulty of energy storage, impact on the environment, high costs of energy generation and maintenance of equipment. Increasing the effectiveness and durability of turbine components will contribute to a better and more widespread use of wind energy.

John ZuHone is an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This week, on Sam's Dream Blog, John shares about realizing a childhood dream, pushing through doubt and endurance on the dream journey.
Sam's Dream Blog: What's your professional dream? How did your dream originate? How has it evolved?
John ZuHone: My professional dream was to do something with outer space. I think it started when I was a child. I loved to read, so my family bought me books on all kinds of subjects. One book (which I still have!) was on the planets. I was hooked. I begged for a telescope, and at age six, I got one. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, so it was easy for me to see the night sky.
For the longest time I said I was going to be an astronaut (most kids do at some point). As the years went on, I found myself most interested by the science behind what was going on beyond our planet. Eventually, I decided that I would become an astrophysicist. I also enjoyed computers growing up. Little did I know that they would become an essential part of my job--running computer simulations of what's going on in the universe.
SDB: What accomplishment are you most proud of?
John ZuHone: I am mainly a theoretician, in other words, someone who thinks about how the universe works and formulates theories to explain what we see. However, very soon I will have the opportunity to use the Chandra X-ray Observatory, an X-ray telescope orbiting the earth, to observe a cluster of galaxies. It is kind of hard for me to believe sometimes that I get the privilege of using a real observatory that is sitting out in space to do real science.
SDB: What have been the biggest obstacles or challenges to realizing your dream? What advice do you have for others in pursuit of their dreams?
John ZuHone: Often, the biggest obstacle has been myself. Self-doubt, the idea that I couldn't hack it, that it was foolish for me to keep going because I wasn't cut out for it--those were things I had to overcome. Gaining the confidence that I was truly able to achieve the goals I had set out for myself, with the support structure that my family, friends, and faith gives me, is what got me to where I am.
To anyone who is pursuing their own dream, I have the following bits of advice:
* Know the difference between giving up (which you don't want to do) and realizing that your goals may have shifted from where you thought they were originally. As you move forward, you may find that other things inspire you, that you are interested in other things than what you had set out originally. That's not a sign of failure. It just means you have moved on to something else. And that can be exciting.
* Other people are important. No one ever gets anywhere in life without help from someone else. This includes your family and your friends, but also people you meet along the way. You never know how the connections you make with others will benefit you down the road. And the way you show gratitude for that is by paying it forward--someday you will get a chance to give someone else a leg up when they need it. It's also very humbling--knowing that making the world run, working for things like justice and knowledge and beauty and everything else that's good, takes teamwork. We're all in it together.
SDB: What steps have you taken to get to where you are presently?
John ZuHone: First, it was lots of school. 10 years, in fact, counting both college and graduate school. That's how long it takes (give or take a year or two) to get a Ph.D.. After that, you spend time building your research career, doing what we call "postdoctoral research." I'm currently nearing the end of that part of my career, transitioning into something more permanent. But a lot of the education that you need to excel in this area, as in many, is self-taught and self-sought. The classroom is very important, but some of the most important things you will ever learn are not taught in the classroom. You only learn by doing them, and usually doing them wrong a few times before getting it right. In that sense, I am still learning.

The school, "Rissei Shougakkou" is now a cultural heritage building thanks to it's retro western-style architecture. The internals of the building are still in 1960's style classrooms, complete with original blackboards, library books, bag hooks, etc etc.
It will be a very interesting place to exhibit! There are 6 of us exhibiting and we will each have our work in a separate classroom. Come along and do some exploring!
November 12-19th, daily 12-7pm (last day til 5pm)
Entry is Free.
Rissei Shougakkou (Former Elementary School) is located on the West-side of Kiyamachi Street, halfway between Sanjo and Shijo Streets.

ParkMyCloud recently launched a new chatbot for Slack that means businesses can now use our scheduling software for DevOps cost control with Slack without having to access the GUI. The chatbot for Slack can be set up to interact with a ParkMyCloud account to assign parking schedules, temporarily snooze parking schedules, or toggle instances and VMs to switch on or off as required.
The development of our new chatbot enables system administrators to manage DevOps cost control with Slack and still maintain total visibility of the business´s cloud accounts. Due to having total visibility, system administrators can monitor cost control initiatives from their usual Slack chat channels to reduce cloud waste and increase accountability through better communication.
DevOps Cost Control with Slack on AWS
The process for managing DevOps cost control with Slack on AWS is exactly the same as before. System administrators create a permissions-limited role for the ParkMyCloud app, and allow it to conduct a discovery of the business´s instances deployed on AWS. Once the discovery is completed, system administrators are prompted to select which instances they would like to apply parking schedules to.
The selection of which instances to park is made easier by the app making recommendations based on the instances´ names and tags. System administrators can choose to apply one or more of the preconfigured schedules to the instances, after which ParkMyCloud displays the projected saving for each schedule over the next thirty days.
DevOps Cost Control with Slack on Azure
The same process works just as well on the Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud platforms. Using ParkMyCloud for DevOps cost control with Slack on Azure means that messages can be posted for things like schedule changes and instances being turned off automatically. It can also be used to request authorization to snooze parking schedules when access to a parked VM is required.
This last scenario may happen quite often. Many businesses are discovering the best way to maximize savings on Azure with ParkMyCloud is to permanently park infrequently-used VMs (i.e. schedule them to be switched off at all times), and then interrupt the parking schedule when the VMs are needed. This is particularly handy for batch workloads started when DevOps leave the office.
DevOps Cost Control with Slack on Google Cloud
Whatever cloud platform businesses use, they still enjoy a high level of governance over their cloud deployment with ParkMyCloud. For example, when using ParkMyCloud for DevOps cost control with Slack on Google Cloud, system administrators can still see the cloud costs for each project and query anomalies with development teams via a dedicated team chat channel.
System administrators can also use ParkMyCloud to identify underused instances and reassign their workloads to a less expensive type. By automating start-stop times, ParkMyCloud directly saves businesses approximately 65% of the cost of deploying non-production instances on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, but the increased accountability and indirect savings could be worth a lot more.
Try DevOps Cost Control with Slack and ParkMyCloud for Free
If your business uses Slack as one of its communication channels, and you would like to see the ease with which you can schedule start-stop times for non-production instances, take a free trial of ParkMyCloud by clicking the "Try it Free" button at the top of this page and then following the chatbot installation instructions on our Github page.
You will need to speak with our Customer Services team in order to get the API token, and this will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about ParkMyCloud´s scheduling software. You are also invited to discuss any ideas you have about our chatbot with our developers. If you would like to know more about ParkMyCloud before starting your free trial, do not hesitate to contact us.

Fattypuffs & Thinifers/
I read this book as a child, and the Yellow Submarinesque illustration style stuck in my head. I've spent years trying to search online for clues to what the book was. All I could recall was it was set under ground and had short fat people and tall thin ones.@BellJarred was talking about childhood library books on Twitter yesterday & I mentioned my long term search for this book that skirted around in my memory.
It was @MoleWife who recognised my vague description and lo and behold, I am reunited with Fattypuffs & Thinifers. Thank you!

text: There are many games which seem so interesting in the first look when you see it, you chose to play it. I am going share my personal views about online gaming experience which for sure inspires people to play. There was day when I feel so bored and not able to find out something to do in my past time activities. So, one day of my friends jack came into my house and I shared same problem with him. So, he told me about a different category of games which nowadays so popular among the world. He told me about online slot machine games which is beautifully designed with amazing graphics and stunning interface, also he told me about offers and said never forget about bonus codes and offers they provide to users. When I make a search on web about Sterling silver 3d, literally I was surprised to see such a charming graphics when I saw it on Google images. I liked one of the wallpaper out of them and printed it out by using printer and stitched it on room's wall. I was most fascinated about name and necklace with diamond accent. After this analysis, now this was a time to bang with these slots and a good use of time. So, as I planned, quickly I started to play and see what I was completely amazed to see this slot at first time, the only word came into my mind after playing game is "Awesome". With this successful execution of idea, seriously I was too happy and I shared about this slot for many people and they were all also find this game so good. Overall, this was such an immense part of my life to play these types of pokies. At last, I must say it's too good.

Bear attempts to enter vehicle near McCall; campground closed
The Payette National Forest has closed Kennally Creek Campground for at least the rest of this month due to black bear activity.
The campground is southeast of McCall.
The closure also affects the Kennally Creek Horse Camp and North Fork of Kennally Creek Trail (No. 102). The trail is closed from the Kennally Creek Campground trailhead to the junction with the Needles Summit Trail (No. 101). The Needles Summit Trail and the rest of the North Fork of Kennally Creek Trail are open.
A black bear attempted to enter an unoccupied vehicle Thursday, according to the Payette National Forest. A black bear had visited the campground while it was occupied in weeks prior.
"The rationale for closing the campgrounds, trail, and trailhead is to eliminate the presence of human food and garbage," a Payette National Forest press release states. "This will allow time for the bear or bears to self-relocate."
More details in mountain lion case
Idaho Fish and Game released more details on the mountain lion that tried to drag an Idaho girl away from a campsite in East Idaho.
The press release:
The mountain lion believed to be responsible for attacking a 4-year-old girl near her family camp Friday evening east of Rexburg weighed approximately 90 pounds and turned out to be a young male rather than a young female as originally reported.
While the cat appeared to be healthy, tests are being performed to check for any potential diseases. Evidence at the scene indicates the lion put down by sheriff deputies was responsible for the attack. However, biologists are collecting DNA samples to attempt confirmation.
Initially it was thought that the child was taken to a hospital in Idaho Falls. Instead, the child was taken to a nearby immediate-care facility for treatment and was back in camp with her family the following day.
