Growing the Brand, or Killing the Mystique
Is Harley-Davidson Growing the Brand, or Killing the Mystique ? a good question especially with the latest moves to capture shares of markets they previously ignored with the "street" machines (i.e.women).
I think the question is well addressed by "Fuzzygalore", -Girlie Motorcycle Blogger and referenced on an interesting site I found

Crackdown on dangerous bikers......
......in BroadwayPOLICE will be cracking down on motorcyclists speeding and driving dangerously in Broadway on Sunday.
West Mercia Police have teamed up with the Safer Roads Partnership and Warwickshire Police to run the joint operation on the A44, as well as the A46 in Salford Priors in Warwickshire, this weekend.
Motorcyclists are often reported racing in the two areas and officers will be carrying out highly-visible patrols in the area in an effort to stamp out the nuisance.
Specialist units involving motorcycle police, speed enforcement officers and the Operational Patrol Unit (OPU) team will be involved in the initiative which is being carried out on Sunday 20th July and will continue over the summer months around other operational commitments.
The aim is to provide a highly visible deterrent to speeding motorists and motorcyclists as well as cracking down on inappropriate riding and nuisance offences such as noise. Activity will focus on the A44 in Broadway and the A46 at Salford Priors.
"This action is also being taken in support of people living around the areas who have complained through their safer neighbourhood team or parish council about the noise and high speeds of the machines involved," he said.
"We intend to continue with this initiative until the message gets through to the minority of motorists causing the problems that their activities will not be tolerated."
Safer Roads Partnership communications manager Anna Higgins said both Worcestershire and Warwickshire are very popular with bikers but it was important they all stayed as safe as possible while on the road.
"Through local operations like this one, and by supporting the national Think Bike campaign, we aim to make motorcyclists more aware of the risks that are present when they are out on the roads and help us reduce the amount of collisions that take place," she said.
"Bikers are also invited to brush up on their skills or gain more confidence on their bike by taking advantage of our Take Control motorcycle skills course.

| Rachel Berkowitz, Physics Today. Relevant to GSS Climate Change chapter 7. Excerpt: ...In a warming world, increased temperature means that the atmosphere can hold and transport more water vapor—a 7% increase in atmospheric moisture content for every degree Celsius of warming in Earth's lower troposphere. This affinity for moisture affects the entire water cycle, throughout the global climate system. Change is especially reflected in increased patterns of evaporation and precipitation, and a corresponding increase in ocean surface salinity, since surface salinity patterns respond to water cycle changes. ...In the past 50 years, salinity differences—the marker of the oceanic water cycle—have intensified in the upper 700 m of the ocean. "Think of the ocean as a big rain gauge," says John Toole, physical oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Salty regions become saltier because more water is exported through evaporation, and fresh regions become fresher because increased rainfall dilutes those regions more. ...Changing the ocean's salinity and temperature also affects its water density, which in turn plays a key role in how water circulates. ...it takes a long time for surface effects to change deep ocean circulation patterns....

AnonymousGeek's Trey has made the long journey to Las Vegas this year to check out the exciting things coming our way via the Consumer Electronics Show. Our CES 2014 First Day on the Floor info is coming to us via TopicTech, Trey's epic YouTube Channel and Website devoted to the latest and best in Gadgetry and Gaming. On with the first day!
Logitech has a pretty versatile new mouse, the G602, they're showing off at the show this year. Gamers should be excited for this and you can read some details about it by clicking the picture.
Tadpole is boasting the "world's smallest Bluetooth Speaker". We're not sure on the legitimacy of that claim, but it sure is small. Weighing in a .7 ounces and a price point of under $20.00, this might be a very interesting way to share your music in small impromptu gatherings.
Absolute Signal Enhancement Case "Need an extra bar…?"
In the video below, Trey gets hands-on with Absolute's signal booster. A little extra signal without a lot of extra weight is ideal if you're on the go and live in an area noted for poor reception or signal over-saturation.
We hope you enjoyed this CES 2014 First Day on the Floor article. If you did, please Share it with your friends on Facebook. Also, keep a look out for more videos and articles from CES 2014. I've already seen some of the things from the 2nd day and it is absolutely mind blowing just what is happening out in Las Vegas.

If the Price is Right is the first mission in the Deal ending of the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV, it is given to Niko Bellic by Jimmy Pegorino.
Pegorino orders Niko to pick up the payment for a heroin deal, part of a partnership between the Pegorinos and Dimitri Rascalov. Niko accepts, and goes with Phil Bell to the exchange point. Dimitri calls Niko to say that he has killed the buyers' representatives, and will keep the heroin for himself -- unfortunately, Niko and Phil are already in the buyers' compound. Believing they will not be able to escape the territory of the newly-betrayed buyers without a fight, the pair decide that they will steal the money. A massive gunfight ensues in the buyers' warehouse HQ, followed by a car chase when one of the buyers escapes with the money. They kill the dealer then take the cash from him; Niko then drives Phil to his hideout in Port Tudor and takes a cut of the cash.
When Niko meets up with Phil at the safehouse in Tudor (from the last mission To Live and die in Alderney) he'll tell Niko that they are going to Port Tudor. Grab a vehicle and head over there. On the way Phil explains the plan. Dimitri is going to hand over the H to the buyers while they collect the cash.
Arrive at the exchange point in Port Tudor. Cutscene. Go to the exchange building down the street and watch another cutscene as Dimitri openly betrays Niko over the phone. Follow Bell onto the building's roof and destroy the skylight with Phil.
Jump into the skylight and immediately gain cover. The warehouse is crawling with goons. Use the SMG and Sniper to pick off some goons, then carefully go down the stairs eliminating any goons in sight. Continue on and gain cover. Eliminate a couple more goons and go down the stairs to ground level.
Gain cover behind the truck on the right and kill the rest of the goons on the ground. An assault rifle would be helpful in this situation. Jump over the scaffolding in the middle of the warehouse and go up another set of stairs. Cover Phil as you get closer and closer to the cash room. Once the area seems quiet, run down to the money room. Cutscene. A goon escapes with the money.
Chase the goon outside and ignore the big truck. Turn left and there will be a pickup truck and a dirtbike. Pick a fast vehicle from these two and chase the goon's truck avoiding the falling logs.
Shoot the truck repeatedly. Cutscene. The goon dies. Grab the truck and drive Bell over to Tudor, where he will give you a large slice of money and a debriefing cutscene.
Niko receives a $250,000 cut from the deal. Roman is happy that Niko has seized such a fortune, and that he has put Dimitri's betrayals behind him; Kate, however, is disgusted that Niko betrayed his own principles for money, and refuses to come to Roman's wedding. The consequences of this mission play out in next mission, Mr and Mrs Bellic.

Knightly satisfaction for Sir Mick
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has been knighted at the Queen's birthday honours, only months after joking that he wanted to be awarded a title.
The newspapers had anticipated that former hellraiser Jagger would soon become Sir Mick, despite a life of prolonged rock and roll excess.
Fellow 60s icon, pop artist Peter Blake - who designed the iconic cover of The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - was also made a knight at the Queen's Birthday Honours.
"It's funny to be getting a knighthood at the same time as Mick Jagger - we actually lived 50 yards away from each other. It's nice that two Dartford boys are getting honours simultaneously," he said.
But the collage-specialist caused controversy last year with his championing of artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin in the Royal Academy of Art's traditionally painting-dominated summer show.
Sir Mick, famed for his womanising and rock'n'roll lifestyle, revealed: "I've been teased. I've had people on their knees, and I've even had plastic swords waved at me."
Another famous name being recognised is playwright Harold Pinter, who becomes one of only 65 Companions of Honour.
Often described as Britain's greatest living playwright, he is currently battling throat cancer.
But he has also developed a reputation for his political radicalism, with stinging criticism of American and British bombing campaigns in recent years.
Trevor Nunn, due to step down as head of the Royal National Theatre on London's South Bank in spring 2003, is also knighted.
Nunn was director of The Royal Shakespeare Company for 18 years and has masterminded a string of hit productions including Les Miserables.
Also honoured from the world of the stage is opera director Jonathan Miller, who first came to fame in the 1960s with the Beyond the Fringe team.
His knighthood comes after a long career directing major international productions but also peppered with stinging criticism of some aspects of the opera world.
Honours for novelists include a CBE for Birdsong author Sebastian Faulks and an OBE for Ian Rankin, the creator of dark crime fiction featuring Edinburgh detective, Inspector John Rebus.
Retirement honour
Video artist Steve McQueen, a Turner Prize winner, is also made an OBE in the diplomatic list.
And drag artiste Danny La Rue, who has raised thousands for the battles against Aids receives an OBE.
Former BBC Radio 4 Today programme presenter Sue MacGregor is made a CBE, just two months after her she left the early morning show.
And an OBE in the diplomatic list goes to Kenneth Annakin for services to the film industry.
He either directed or co-directed such famous films as Holiday Camp, Quartet, Trio, Swiss Family Robinson, culminating in Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.

Wow, hi Internet. I missed you.I know I told you I wouldn't run off again, but nobody should be surprised. I'm here now. I found some time to sit still and think and write, and that's exactly what I'll do. I owe you an update, I know.
I've been spending every day with my favorite people and friends, and one thing seems to be consistent: they all just want me to be real. They ask about my writing. They ask where it is. They know me well enough to know that once I've lost my ability to write my thoughts, I might as well have lost it all. I've been telling them that I just can't right now – surely nobody wants to hear how challenging things are. I never wanted this to become a negative space. My people have been telling me that it doesn't matter, that you want to hear it all. As one friend put it: I have to tell you the truth about my reality, if only just so you know how to better love me and pray for me. Wow I have the greatest friends!!!!
So, where do we begin?
Lets go back to what I last told you a few months ago in this post: I spent several months last fall waiting for a surgery that never happened. My doctors decided that a spinal cord stimulation is pretty much my only option left for treatment of my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. For the first time in my life, I agreed and I was READY for that surgery. Well, as you know, it was cancelled indefinitely when my insurance denied to cover it. In fact, from that point on, my insurance cut me off completely. I spent the last few months of 2017 paying for everything – appointments, medications, even my flu shot. I was incredibly defeated and angry. Insurance companies have never been my friend.
What happened next?
January finally rolled around. Thanks to my dad's job, I have a different insurance company this year. I met with my doctors as soon as I could, and we immediately placed an order for the spinal cord stimulator. We scheduled it for early February, and we waited. I waited three weeks. I am not always the most patient girl, but patience is probably the one thing I've learned the most about this year. The week before the surgery, the insurance still hadn't made a decision. I was told I had until the Friday before the surgery to get approval.
Friday happened. I called my case worker one more time, knowing full well that she had spent the entire day on my case. In the most casual way, she told me she hadn't had time to call me yet… but it was approved!
Wow okay slow down. I found out FOUR DAYS before my surgery that it was ACTUALLY happening. That was terrifying. You see, I had given up by then. I had decided that it would be batter to prepare myself for another denial. I thought that was the safer route. So when I got approval, that was a whole different experience that I wasn't ready for. I'll share more about those emotions some day soon. I want you to hear about it, just not right now.
So yes, the surgery happened. February 7th. It was the most insane day.
My sweet sweet sweet best friend picked me up bright and early and we made the hour long trip to north Austin. We prayed in the car and headed upstairs, and I was in pre-op five minutes later. While I was being prepped for surgery, I met at least a dozen different people who would be in my OR, each one with a very specific job to ensure that everything went perfectly. Everyone was ready to go, and I went under with no problems. But nobody was prepared for what would happen next.
First, let me tell you that the surgery itself went perfectly. Everything went in exactly as it should have, and ultimately (spoiler alert) it was a success.
I wasn't even out of the OR when the seizures started. There were 3 of them. I remember being slightly aware between numbers 2 and 3. I remember hearing the staff call EMS while someone else put what I assume was a breathing tube in my throat. They didn't have time to secure my airway before the next seizure started. The last thing I remember is being rolled, and my only thought was "please don't ruin this stimulator."
I'll make this really long story a bit shorter by telling you that it had a happy ending. I was taken to a hospital, and ultimately my seizure disorder was finally diagnosed as hypomagnesemia. I don't know why, but this ER doctor ran some tests that must have been missed before, and I was discharged a few hours later with a new body full of magnesium for the first time, and a bunch of supplements to take. I still have a bit of a journey left to go on with the seizures and tremors, but I at least see the light at the end of the tunnel there.
Back to the stimulator.
After my little trip to the hospital, my team of St. Jude representatives turned on my device. I'll make a post on the science behind spinal cord stimulators later if you're interested, but for now I'll keep it simple. The whole point of the device is that it is supposed to cover up the pain in my lower body. The insurance looks for a 50% improvement in pain… and I got 80%! The device they put in on February 7 was just a temporary trial to see if this had potential. With so much success, I'll be getting a permanent one implanted in about 2 weeks.
There's so much more that I want to tell you. But for now I'll leave it here. The excitement is dying down for a minute in between surgeries, so I finally have some time to reflect and prepare for round two. I've had to give up so much for this journey, including school and work, but I know that I'm going to get so much more in return.
I might be a little nervous, but I can't wait to see what happens next.
I'm so so SO happy that I get to share this whole thing with you. I hope you stick around to see what happens next. I'll try not to leave you in the dark this time.
With all the love,

I never got around to picking up Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders for any platform, and I'm kind of glad I didn't, because Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord came out a few weeks back on WiiWare, and does it better. Unlike it's similarly-named predecessor, FFCC: My Life as a King, which was a city building simulation with all of the RPG action offscreen, FFCC: My Life as a Darklord is an engaging and action-packed tower defense game.
If, like me, you're an aging gamer wondering what the heck "tower defense" games are, and how you could have missed running into one of them for so long, allow me to share my recent enlightenment. Tower defense is a relatively new genre that originated in the late twenty-oughts but still feels charmingly retro. It's real-time strategy gaming boiled down to the essentials: timing, strategy and careful decision-making. The goal of these games is to set up a series of defenses, with varying abilities and resource costs, to fend off a finite onslaught of enemies. Plan well and you will be successful; waste your resources and prepare to be overrun. A round can usually be played in less than ten minutes, perfect for browser, portable and casual play.
FFCC:MLAD (the name is lengthy even as an acronym) takes the concept literally, casting the player as an aspiring young villainess who needs to protect the dark crystal at the top of her tower from marauding bands of bright-eyed adventurers. All the standard Final Fantasy character classes are here, ready to besiege the player's forces of darkness. The player sets up offensive, defensive and support floors of the tower, populates them with melee, ranged, magical, healing and generic monsters, and prepares to fend off the incoming good guys.
What really makes the game (and the genre) work is that you have limited resources at the start of each level, and can't just build an impregnable defense that will work every time. Choices must be made, and it's often vital to dispose of the first waves quickly, earning points to buttress the bulwarks as tougher enemies start to show up and climb the tower. The menu pauses the action, fortunately, but the game still becomes hectic and chaotic as each battle progresses. Some enemies move slowly, others quickly, and each level brings new challenges and patterns to deal with.
That's a good thing, because as a WiiWare title, the game has to make the most of limited storage space. Every level looks and plays much the same way, and the story is rendered as simple text with minimal grunts and giggles from our heroine. Fortunately, the available storage has been lavished on the monsters and floor types -- new ones arrive from time to time, and they are always nicely rendered and animated. The gameplay is addictive, as well -- as the range of player choices grows, the number of ways any given level can play out also increases. Earning victory points (and a token amount for each defeat) allows the player to level up her monsters, with RPG-style decisions to make about which creatures to favor with an upgrade.
Unlike its predecessor, which was fun for a while but didn't wear well, My Life as a Darklord varies the gameplay enough to keep it fresh. I'm glad Square-Enix decided to go in a different direction with this sequel -- it preserves the sense of doing something different in the established Final Fantasy/Crystal Chronicles universe, but it's much better as a game. Even the world map is improved -- it's not just a haphazard network of dungeons, there's a clear sense of progress with challenging side quests clearly delineated.
(Now if I can just avoid the temptation to buy additional downloadable content -- there is WAY too much of that available for this game. But some of it can be earned, and I'm just cheap and dedicated enough to go that route.)

This weekend retreat designed and implemented by Juan Carlos Baumgartner of SPACE Architects is projected on a land of little over 1,000 square meters in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Casa ALD consists of two main volumes: a prism into which another rectangular wooden prism is embedded. Since the very beginning, the purpose of this project was clear: to create a house in which a balance between modernity and coziness was struck. Therefore, the architects chose to use few materials in order to achieve a quick reading of the volumes.
The first prism consists of a black metal structure that ends on an exposed concrete staple. The two fronts of this volume are made of glass, which helps create a transparency to the interior area and gives a feeling of permanently being in touch with nature. The second volume is a cantilevered wooden cube, under which a terrace is generated. Requirements for the design of this project included a swimming pool, and the architects fulfilled them by creating one and covering it with black venetian glass tiles. In this way, the swimming pool was turned into a water mirror that reflects the house. For this project, the developing team decided to integrate art into architecture so that the selected works became a part of the design instead of functioning as mere decorative items: "With this principle in mind, we commissioned a hyper-realistic 2 x 6 m painting of a Porsche 78; which was placed in a double-height space. In addition to the painting, Juan Carlos Baumgartner designed a mural that works both as the visual end of the swimming pool and as the vestibule of the house entrance".
The house has four bedrooms, a double-height living room and an open plan kitchen that is integrated into the space. In the living area, a modern cast glass sphere chandelier hangs from the ceiling. By using few but carefully selected materials, we created delightful areas that met our clients' expectations. Sustainable design features for Casa ALD include the use of recycled content materials low in VOC levels and wood from certified forests. Furthermore, the lighting is almost entirely LED-based.

Whilst completing the Cheshire Ring we stopped for the night at Lymm on our way to Manchester. Is it pronounced 'Lime' or 'Limm' as in limb?
If my memory is correct this photo was taken on the outskirts of the town. It had an interesting market square and; more importantly for us at the time; a small supermarket when we could restock the boat. The canal appear to cut the town in half with many of the houses below the level of the canal. Obviously the planning laws were considerably different when the construction took place.
It was one of those lovely warm and sunny English evening so we decided to have a BBQ. There wasn't much room on the towpath and we were bemused by the reaction from the dogs as they walked passed our sizzling steaks and sausages.

Suddenly, sniffing the air, he was drawn by the aroma of food cooking – to be honest, it smelt more like it was burning, but his empty stomach grumbled in response and he set off in that direction, his quivering snout raised, following the scent like a bloodhound on the trail of its prey. Spotting an open doorway through which clouds of steam, or more likely smoke, were billowing, he slipped inside. Crikey, he could barely see where he was going!
Stifling a cough, and with the smoke stinging his eyes, he moved cautiously forward, still drawn hungrily towards the food, however incinerated it might be. He was halfway across the room when an infuriated bellow stopped him in his tracks.
'Pestis! Furcifer! – Pest! Scoundrel! – Get out of here at once!'
Max turned to face the source of the shouting, quaking as he saw an extremely plump man, leaping up and down, waving a wooden spoon, his face puce with anger and his lively black curls bouncing in all directions like the snakes on the head of Medusa.
But as the large cat revolved to face this scary apparition, he was alarmed to hear a scream burst from the man's lips and Max watched, bemused, as the cook sprinted out of the room.
'Help! Help! There's a lion in the kitchen!' yelled the cook, running this way and that, clearly in a state of panic.
A lion? thought Max. Crikey, I don't fancy bumping into one of those – that dog outside was bad enough! Peering through the smoke, he made a dash for a table in the corner and took refuge beneath it, his heart beating fast. He hoped the lion hadn't spotted him.
Then his ears pricked up. Surely that was a voice he recognised?
'What's wrong, Grassus?'
'Oh no, Gemina. Don't go in there. It's too dangerous,' wailed the cook, still hopping about in the corridor, eyes wide in panic.
'But the mistress has sent me down to ask you for a plate of fruit,' said Jemima.
'I'm s-sorry, you can't go into the kitchen and nor can I. There's a l-l-lion in there and it's … ENORMOUS! Go and fetch help right away. Find Sabinus – he'll know what to do.'
Jemima stared at the cook in disbelief. 'A lion? Don't be silly! How could a lion get inside this house?'
'It might have escaped from the amphitheatre…'
'I think you must be imagining things, Grassus,' said Jemima, wondering if he'd been at the cooking wine.
'B-but I saw it,' insisted the cook. 'Huge and pale-coloured. It suddenly loomed up out of the smoke and was about to spring on me. I thought I was a goner. It was obviously sizing me up as its next meal.'
Hmm, thought Jemima. Grassus would probably have enough meat on him to provide several meals … even for a hungry lion. And she started to giggle.
'It's no laughing matter,' he continued, his voice quavering.
'Calm down, Grassus. I have an idea,' she replied thoughtfully. The unexpected presence of a huge, pale-coloured feline in the kitchen had set her thinking. Maybe, just maybe … 'Wait there. I'm going to take a quick look at this lion of yours.'
'Are you mad?' he squawked, grabbing her arm to hold her back. 'It'll have you – and you're just a slip of a thing, no more than a snack. Once it's tasted human flesh, it'll come out looking for me.'
'I promise you I'll be fine, Grassus. I think I may have come across this particular "lion" before.' The cook stared at her, incomprehension and disbelief mingling with the expression of panic on his face. Before he could say anything else she slipped from his grasp and stepped cautiously through the doorway. The smoke made it difficult to see anything, so she called out quietly, 'Are you in here, Max? Where are you?'

What do you call an Ultrabook that isn't an Ultrabook? - According to HP it's a Sleekbook - at least that's the name it's given to this skinny laptop which runs on an AMD rather than Intel processor.
AMD vs Intel
So what does that mean for you, the proud owner of a new Envy 6? Well Intel's Ivy Bridge-based Core i5s are better at traditional processing and multitasking, while AMD's A6-4455M 'Trinity' chip has more powerful Radeon graphics which will speed up photo and video editing and make games fly. Oh, and they're cheaper.
performance and battery life
That goes some way to explaining how HP's made a thin and light 15-incher for just RM2,999. Some cost-cutting has clearly been done - it has a 500GB hard drive rather than a faster SSD, for instance - but it's one of the best made machines at that price, with one the most comfortable keyboards, and a decent 6 hour battery.
HP's styling stands out in a world of uniform grey, and the Sleekbook's metal lid combined with soft rubberised bottom is a distinctive look that would grace laptops costing three times as much.
The extra screen space does come with a couple of drawbacks, though. For starters, the Envy 6 is heavy for a skinny laptop. More crucially, its resolution suffers, with its 1366x768 pixel count spread over a larger area than on its 13in rivals. That's a shame, but given its price this is a forgivable flaw. All in all, this is an excellent laptop.
bring the noise
The fan on the Envy 6 never seems to turn off completely, and as a result is always audible. It's never as obnoxious as the worst we've used from the likes of Sony, but it is a flaw in an otherwise impressive machine.
Beats Audio
Don't be fooled by the HP Envy 6 Sleekbook's Beats Audio branding: the speakers on the Envy 6 aren't noticeably better than on any other Ultrabook. Not good, would be our general description.
web verdict
AMD Trinity processors power this Ultrabook alliterative, making it cheaper and more battery-filled. The Envy 6 has a quality metal lid and rubberised base, 15.6 in screen, and its 6GB RAM gives faster boot times on its 500GB hard drive than a similar Intel Core i3. Maybe not the sleekest we've used but still an excellent, great value laptop.

Finished reading
Over the past two weeks, I finished two wonderful books. God Help the Child was my first Toni Morrison that I read, plus it crosses off one author from my Summer Reading List. I loved the writing and the bold ideas that Morrison explores in this book but was somewhat underwhelmed by the plot. Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer was more a mixed bag, compared to his other books. There were plenty of chapters that I found very fascinating with much of it making me angry and not very hopeful for humanity. It mainly explores the 1984 murder of Brenda and Erica Lafferty (the latter a 1.5 year old baby) at the hands of two fundamentalist Mormons, who believed God wanted them to commit the murders. Krakauer makes an excellent attempt to explain how these murders came to be while also exploring the Mormon history quite a bit.
Currently reading
I saw this beautiful copy of Notorious RBG sitting on my library shelf and had to borrow it. I have already started thumbing through it but I am not sure if I will be able to actually read it because a lot of my reading nowadays is of ebooks in the dark. However, Britt-Marie Was Here is thankfully an ebook and I'm already halfway through it. It's already becoming a favorite and I love it more than Backman's previous, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, and almost as much as A Man Called Ove.

Strategically located between Europe and Asia, Dubai has attracted seafarers and traders for centuries. The city emerged as a trading centre in 1833 when Sheikh Maktoum bin Buti established a trading port along the banks of the natural water inlet that splits the city into Deira and Bur Dubai.
Between 1976 and 1978, the late Ruler of Dubai, H.H. Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, gave instructions for two ambitious projects - the construction of the world's largest man-made harbour at Jebel Ali, and a premier ship repair and industrial marine yard, Jadaf Dubai. Shortly thereafter, Jebel Ali established itself as one of the world's busiest ports, and Jadaf Dubai as a world-class dockyard. Dubai quickly became a global import and re-export centre. Dubai Maritime City is building on these wellestablished maritime traditions, and seeks to propel the worldwide maritime industry into even higher levels of excellence.
With an educated multicultural work force, abundant financial incentives, an efficient corporate infrastructure, and excellent unrestricted, open sea access, Dubai has developed to become one of the world's top centres for maritime commerce. Dubai's economic strength, diversity, growing population, and tourism benefits Dubai's existing maritime businesses and serves to attract more international clients. Dubai Maritime City offers free zone district benefits and is part of Dubai World, a holding company that brought the world such visionary projects as The Palm, Jafza, and the internationally acclaimed DP world.

Frontispiece of Agostino Scilla's 'La Vana Speculazione', 1670 - note the variety of fossils on the lower right
Both Scilla and Steno arrived to conclusions that were beginning to shape the science of geology as it is known today, in particular the then-controversial notion that fossils are derived from once-living organisms.
Interestingly, some of the fossils which both chose to illustrate in their works were obtained from Malta. These fossils are the famous glossopetrae (tongue stones), or, more accurately, fossil shark teeth, which during the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods were considered to be a miraculous cure for a variety of ailments (Zammit Maempel, 1975; 1989). Malta was the centre of a lucrative business in these shark teeth and it is not hard to see how specimens could have come in Scilla and Steno's possession.
Carcharocles megalodon (Agassiz, 1843) teeth from the C2 Phosphorite Conglomerate, Malta
Most of these glossopetrae belong to the extinct Carcharocles megalodon (Agassiz, 1843), one of the largest fish ever to exist on Earth. An approximation of its size (in grey and red) compared to the modern (and morphologically similar) great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias (L., 1758) (in green) can be seen below.
'St. Paul's Shipwreck', by Stefano Erardi, 1683 - note the snake falling out of the main figure's hands into the fire
Carcharocles teeth from the collection of Sir Hans Sloane are also the oldest Maltese fossils in the British Museum (cf. Galea Bonavia, 2003).

I enjoyed the super bowl commercials for the most part. You have to be careful not to have too high of expectations, or you will set yourself up for a big letdown. Here is a quick analysis of one of the commercials. This is a Bud Light commercial where at the end they throw a guy out of an office window because he suggests they save money by not buying beer. Are there any actual office meetings that serve beer? (Sorry if I spoiled the ending for you)
I am going to analyze the motion of the guy going out the window. Just because.
At some point in the future, I am going to make a short tutorial on video analysis. However, for now I will just say that I used KickYoutube to get the video from youtube. I then used Tracker Video to get t, x, y data from each frame. Enough of that.
A couple of notes. First, I had to totally estimate the dimensions of the movie. I guessed that the height of one of the office windows was 6 feet. Second, I am not sure that the motion was completely perpendicular to the camera. It looks close enough that I can get some data though. In the future (Budweiser, I am talking to you), make sure you keep the camera steady and perpendicular to the motion of the object. Include something that can be used to scale the video (like big markings on the side of the building indicating height). Thanks Bud.
Here is the vertical motion as a function of time. I fit a quadratic function to the data.
I fit the quadratic function only to the part of the graph that was possibly in free fall. There is a portion of the time that the guy is in the trees, and then he bounces. Clearly, that data isn't part of the fit. Surprisingly, this data shows an acceleration of around 9 m/s2. Maybe I am just a good estimator. I wouldn't put too much on this result, as I said before about the scaling and the video angle. Also, the movie was interlaced and that makes it a pain.
Some other things you can get from this data: Something happened in the trees. If he was just going along a free fall trajectory, he should have hit the ground about 0.1 seconds earlier. Also, you can notice (well, at least I notice) that it looks like the guy left the window with some vertical velocity. According to the function I fit, the velocity (in the y-direction) at t= 0 seconds was 3.7 m/s. This is pretty fast. If you jumped up with that initial velocity, you would go 0.7 meters high (way higher than I can jump), but there are many people that can jump that high. If you want to throw someone that fast, good luck.
Now, how about the x-motion? Here is x-position as a function of time.
Notice the constant velocity. This is a good sign (in my vast experience of looking at fake videos) of it NOT being fake. Well, I have two things I look for in a video to see if it is real. Real videos generally have -9.8 m/s2 acceleration in the y direction and 0 m/s2 acceleration in the horizontal direction.
Also, note the horizontal velocity: 7.7 m/s (17 mph). I guess that is possible for a person. Maybe he had help. Finally, notice the change in horizontal velocity from before to after he goes in the trees. After the trees it is 2 m/s. Clearly, some horizontal force must have been exerted on him (by the trees). I can calculate the average horizontal acceleration using:
The time for this tree-interaction is about 0.6 seconds. This gives an average horizontal acceleration of:
This is about 1.3 g's - which is well within the human g-force tolerance. So maybe this was a real stunt. Note: I did not do the same analysis of acceleration in the vertical direction because I just couldn't get good data for his speed after the trees.
Extra note: don't try this on your own. Jumping out of windows is probably dangerous. Just Saying.

I've tried the Making Memories metal glue, and it just didn't seem to work very well. This glue, however, holds great, and worked on everything I've tried it on. It's very easy to use, and comes with a pin to open up the spout if it gets clogged. It dries clear, so you don't have to worry about it gunking up your project.
I have used other glues, and I will never use another. This is my favorite by far. It does not take long to dry and it holds beautifully. Only problem - if you make a mistake, good luck getting the item "unglued"!!! I use this so often I don't even store it anymore, I have to keep it out!
Used in this image: Exploding Box - Inside
I have used several types of glue for my embellishments, and found this to be a very good product.
Pros: Adheres metal embellishments without the thickness you get with white glue. Holds heavy embellishments very well. Very good for all types of embellishments.
Cons: You need to re-open the tip with a sharp object before each use, as it tends to clog. Cannot use on paper or cardstock.
Recommendation: Very good product to have on hand, especially for metal embellishments. I would recommend this glue to others.
Used in this layout: You
I like the design of the bottle that you can store it upside down but I think it may clog quicker that way. The tip is small and does need opened frequently but it does come with its own little pin for unclogging. The glue holds well
I just wish they would make the tube bigger! Other than that I think it holds well to heavy chipboard and things on your layouts!
Used in this layout: Out for Ice cream

Volunteers spurn Youth Day powers
TWO volunteer groups have refused controversial powers brought in by the NSW Government to police "annoying and inconvenient" conduct at World Youth Day events.
The powers could also be subject to a legal challenge.
The laws empower the police, Rural Fire Service and State Emergency Service personnel to stop people from causing an annoyance or inconvenience to World Youth Day participants and to order people to remove items of clothing for searches.
The Government says they are the same as laws governing sporting venues but civil libertarians and lawyers' groups say they could be unconstitutional.
The director-general of the State Emergency Service, Brigadier Philip McNamara, said he was concerned as soon as he saw the new regulations.
"Rather than put our volunteers in a situation where they might have a negative interaction with people at World Youth Day, we wanted it to be a positive experience," he said.
None of the 120 State Emergency Service representatives volunteering during the festival would be seeking "authorised person" status, he said. Instead, they will simply help police with traffic control and bag inspections.
The 230 Rural Fire Service members on duty would also not seek authorised-person status, its commissioner, Shane Fitzsimmons, said.
The president of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Cameron Murphy, said his organisation had received preliminary legal advice from senior counsels that the laws could be invalid.


text: You might remember Ursa from her cat calls comic which made reddit waves. Now she's back with a touching commentary on the devastation that Katrina wrought upon New Orleans and it's lasting effects on the city. This comic sums up what we've been hearing from activist circles lately, that the only parts of the city that bounced back were the upper class mostly white neighborhoods. As we saw here in New York as well, when the storms come they hit the poor and minority groups the hardest and no one seems keen on making sure aid gets to where it's really needed. From one broken city to another, condolences and hope that when the storms come again we handle them better.

Boy Scouts face renewed push to let girls join the ranks
NEW YORK — After years of divisiveness, the Boy Scouts of America have opened their ranks to gay and transgender boys. Yet a different membership dispute persists: a long-shot campaign to let girls join the BSA so they have a chance to earn the prestigious status of Eagle Scout.
Just last week, after the BSA announced it would admit transgender boys, the National Organization for Women issued a statement urging the youth organization to allow girls to join. NOW cited the efforts of a 15-year-old New York City girl to emulate her older brother, who is an Eagle Scout.
For now, it appears the Boy Scouts will hold firm. Communications director Effie Delimarkos said the BSA, which has some coed programs, views boys-only programs as a fundamental cornerstone of its mission.

WASHINGTON: Former president Pervez Musharraf Friday blamed incompetence by the country's intelligence agencies for allowing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to live undetected in Pakistan for years.
"One can draw only two conclusions," Musharraf told National Public Radio.
"One is complicity from our intelligence agencies. The second is incompetence and I strongly believe in the latter," Musharraf said.
"I cannot imagine that there was complicity."
Pakistan has come under fire for failing to track down the world's most wanted man, who was shot dead in a US commando raid on Monday in a compound in Abbottabad.
Reports have said the architect of the September 11, 2011 attacks on the United States may have been living for five years in Abbottabad, in the shadow of a top military academy, and close to the homes of many retired generals.
Asked whether he was upset that he did not know that Bin Laden had been sheltering in Pakistan during his presidency, Musharraf said: "Frankly, yes."
"It is terrible," he replied, adding he wanted to ask intelligence officials "why the hell did you not know?"
But he ruled out any complicity, saying that even US President Barack Obama had praised Pakistani intelligence services for providing vital information which led to Bin Laden.
"If there was complicity, why would anyone pass on such intelligence?" he asked.

When I was first introduced to the concept of being grateful for everything, I thought, "How can I can be grateful for everything? Bad stuff happens in life, and I don't want it to have a bad life, so how can I be grateful for it?"
I have learned over the years that if I can slow down, close my eyes, and be curious and welcoming to the uncomfortable, yucky, even painful places, that there is wisdom there.
Underneath an aching neck might be a little voice that says "please don't forget to speak your truth."
Or a sad place in my heart might show me a vision of a loved one hurting which encourages me to reach out and connect.
Or my aching back might say "can you just schedule a massage for yourself" and once I have that massage scheduled, it softens a bit.
Or the aching pain of grief... even that pain can open you up to gratitude for the love for the person who was so dear to your heart... and to the miracle of life itself.
There might be a strong part that speaks up with resistance about not wanting to sit with these painful places... and you can welcome that part too... and eventually find gratitude for it too! If you didn't experience pain, your body would have no way to communicate with you that something is wrong...
And almost 100% of the time, I find that after I sit with these places, I feel grateful. I feel grateful that these parts came into my awareness and for the spaciousness that I feel once the part that is resisting these feelings has relaxed.
When I am practicing being grateful for everything, it is easier for me to find gratitude for my relatives that I might have normally gotten irritated with. I have more spaciousness in my being for myself, which means that I have more spaciousness in my being for others to be as they are.
Aaaaaaahhh, space feels so good!
If you're feeling like there isn't enough space within you for yourself or someone around you, try saying these:
I would love to explore this concept with you when you come in for your next treatment... just mention it the next time I see you, or if you can't wait until then, I'm giving away 5 free 30 minute gratitude coaching sessions that can be done on the phone! Just click here to set up your time... click "phone sessions" and let's uncover that gratitude!
I am grateful for you!
Laura Rose
PS Let me know how it goes! Do you notice less tension when you find gratitude? Is it easier to find gratitude when you are alone or with people? What helps you to find gratitude?

10th December 2014
Well the last 2 weeks have been a little bit stressful to be honest, having to get the Pre Employment Training course out the way and finished, which has been done now, heating issues in my flat, and also some issues relating to my ESA is in the process of getting reviewed, as its been over my year since the switich but the people of Crawley Open House are trying to help me out with that, though still feel a bit anxious and stressed.
I attended old Abbotsford school friend Stephen Foster's comedy show at the Village Hall in Billingshurst at the end of last month, where also attending was the old schoolmater the legendary Mr Moxon and his wife Anne as well as their son and daughter Jenny, was nice to meet them for first time in a few years, Stephen did some great songs, in tribute to the likes of Ziggy Stardust, and the late Alvin Stardust (who was a resident in nearby Loxwood.), which was certainly his best one especially as he knew Alvin. It was a great show and he performs around the South East of England regularly and recommend people go and see him.
Finally, there is not too much else to say other I will attending a retro gaming event in West London on Saturday, which should be fun and going to the big relegation 6 pointer battle between Brighton and Millwall, with both Albion and Sami needing a result to prevent this season getting any worse. It's a tough life being Charles Ball, and Albion fan but someone has too. Will be at last one more blog post, before my annual Christmas statement when I look back on 2014 in the life of Mr Ball coming up. Take it easy people.

"Showing, showing and sharing breastfeeding is necessary to remember that love is urgent, to bring to mind those who see that breastfeeding is natural and beyond that, it is vital to return health to society at all levels . Support it, respect it, find out." (Translation of photo below)
We came across a beautiful series of photos by Mexican photographer Paola León , prominently displayed along the Paseo de la Reforma, one of the busiest avenues in the world. The photos depict women breastfeeding in different environments - homey and natural.
The exhibit is entitled Lactancia materna... Más allá de lo que ves". - "Breastfeeding, beyond what you see. " It is sponsored by Mexico City's Secretaria de Salud - Secretary of Health.
Only one in seven mothers in Mexico breastfeeds exclusively in the first six months. Mexico's rate is among the lowest in Latin America. Mexico's childhood obesity rates are among the highest in the world.
In 2015, the government joined other countries in following World Health Organization guidelines and banned free samples of baby formula to new mothers in hospitals.
The photo display is another attempt to encourage new mothers to see breastfeeding as a viable option. The campaign takes an entirely different tone than an unsuccessful 2014 campaign that featured almost topless photos of female celebrities and the crass slogan "Don't turn your back on them. Give them the breast."
Translation: "Breastfeeding women were portrayed in places that connected them with nature and in the daily life, to recognize that we are mammals, to rescue the woman - return the value and importance to the act of breastfeeding freely, without prejudices, and on a protracted basis, if she so decides.'
Here is a link to an article with more information about the exhibit and its sponsors. It's in Spanish but you can always use Google Translate to translate the page.
Here is a link to another article about the baby formula ban: http://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/free-infant-formula-banned-in-hospitals/

PRP therapy is a safe, effective and all-natural way to heal damaged joints and soft tissue in order to alleviate chronic pain. PRP consists of a small sample of your own blood, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and then injected into the injured area. PRP has been used for over 20 years in numerous surgical fields to enhance bone grafting, accelerate wound healing and reduce the risk of infection after surgery. Medical research and intensive studies are leading the way to the tremendous benefits offered by PRP for joint pain, soft tissue injuries, low back disc degeneration, and arthritis, with the goal of enhancing the body's ability to naturally heal itself. Dr. Shafi can determine if PRP is an appropriate option. Give us a call today to schedule an initial consultation or learn more.
Trigger Point Injections is a valuable option for treating pain in patients. It is a procedure performed to treat aching areas of muscles that contain trigger points (spasms of muscle that form when muscles do not relax). These muscle bulges can often be felt underneath the skin. Trigger points often irritate the surrounding nerves, causing chronic pain that often shoots to other areas of the body.
This procedure is performed by inserting a small needle into the trigger point. The injection contains local anesthetic, saline, or even a corticosteroid. This injection allows the problematic trigger point to become inactive and, in turn, alleviate pain. These injections only take a few minutes and can greatly alleviate pain and discomfort.
Viscosupplementation is used often in osteoarthrosis or degenerative arthritis of the knee, when the normal synovial or joint fluid becomes less functional (it loses its lubricating properties). Injecting the knee with a viscosupplement agent, such as Hyalgan or Synvisc, can be a very effective medical tool to help restore normal biomechanical function and viscous/elastic properties, which help the joint act more biomechanically efficient.
This treatment is very effective for sports injuries and for athletes that love to run, bike, hike or participate in any sports that puts stress on the knees. It is also a great alternative to for people who are suffering from arthritis and would like to avoid knee replacement surgery. The viscosupplementation is covered by most insurances. Viscosupplementation will help diminish inflammation to an extent, as well as improve the lubricating capabilities of the joints.
For joint and soft tissue repair.

Street Food Carts Vie for Vendy Awards in New York
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Whether outside the ballpark or outside the office building, street food goes well beyond the standard hotdog and pretzel, not that there's anything wrong with a good hotdog. Well, each fall in New York, the Vendy Awards honor the best street food. There are five finalists this year. And NPR's Margot Adler went to check them out.
MARGOT ADLER: The Kwik Meal cart on 45th Street and Sixth Avenue doesn't standout in the midtown crowds until you look closer and you notice the lines and the three men inside dressed in white chef's jackets. One of them sporting a chef's hat.
Leslie Pikni(ph) of Harlem says she comes by to get…
Ms. LESLIE PIKNI (New Yorker): Lamb on pita, extra white, extra hot.
ADLER: Lamb on pita, extra white, extra hot.
Ms. PIKNI: Yup.
ADLER: What is extra white mean?
Ms. PIKNI: Extra white sauce and then extra hot sauce. I'm a big foodie here in New York, and I love the fact that, you know, this is only city in the world where you can eat great food cheaply.
ADLER: Mohammed Rahman runs the Kwik Meal cart. He once worked at the late great Russian Tea Room, and he still believes he's holding up the tradition of fine dining.
He describes his food as a mixture of international and continental. And how did he get the idea to have everyone in chef's clothing?
Mr. MOHAMMED RAHMAN (Owner, Kwik Meal): If I see someone, really, they have a good outfit, then maybe I will have a good feeling to eat. This is the reason everybody has the white jackets, a chef's jacket. This is the reason we keep this like a small restaurant.
ADLER: And that's exactly what diners notice, like attorney Kenny Horowitz.
Mr. KENNY HOROWITZ (Attorney): Generally, I don't eat from street carts. It does look clean. It looks like they observe most sanitary procedures that they could in the cart. And I guess, the best thing is I've never gotten sick. I've eaten many, many meals here.
ADLER: The Kwik Meal cart is one of five finalists up for the Vendys, the Street Food Awards. Others include The Dosa Man who serves up Indian-style crepes in Greenwich Village; a woman near Wall Street offering food from Trinidad and Jamaica; a falafel stand in Astoria, Queens; and this taco vendor on the Upper West Side.
Unidentified Man: (Speaking foreign language)
This stretch of Broadway and 96th Street is largely white and Jewish, but the crowd standing around the Super Taco truck is almost all Latino. A staff of eight people dish out tacos, gorditas and Mexican beverages. Inside the truck, Isidro Perez, the manager, is chopping beef mixed with onions and warming tacos. Unlike Kwik Meal, everyone wears black, but it's clean, and everyone wears gloves.
Alvaro Gonzales(ph) introduces the crew.
Mr. ALVARO GONZALES (Crew, Super Tacos): This is Ciro(ph). I'm Alvaro. The guy over there is Daniel(ph). And then we got Guillermo(ph) in the back, like, making sandwiches. Then we have right here, like, wrapping up everything, Agustina(ph), her name. Vicki(ph), the cashier. And that's our delivery boy, superman Pedro(ph).
ADLER: Whoever heard of a taco truck that delivers?
Mr. GONZALES: Beef, they like chicken, they eat pork. Everything. Everything is good here.
ADLER: Ooh, this is beef? Is this - oh my heavens. That looks beautiful with onions. Oh.
You can even have tacos with goad or tongue, $2 each and you can wash them down with Mexican sodas or the rice and sugar drink known as horchata.
The Vendys takes place this Saturday. And what will winning mean for these street chefs? A few past winners have found their business going up. But back at the Kwik Meal cart, Mohammed Rahman says winning would simply be an affirmation.
Mr. RAHMAN: If I win, it will make me clear that I satisfied the people's expectations.

The textile machinery industry is the core business of the Lonati Group, more than any other activity.
The machinery production of Lonati Group covers almost all production of women's, men's and children's socks (60%), sportswear and seamless (90%) and traditional knitwear (60%) in the world. With the acquisition of historical national and international brands, as well as the development and optimization of technologies and expansion worldwide, Lonati Group has brought local industrial traditions to levels previously never achieved. This is the source of strength and inspiration of the entire Lonati Group.
Francesco Lonati founded the first production unit of circular knitting machines for men's and children's socks in Rezzato in 1946.
In 1952 the range of hosiery products widened considerably thanks to the construction of machines for women's stockings in the new factory in Brescia. The new production plant, about 1,000 m2 covered and thirty workers, allowed Lonati to carry out larger orders. With new business opportunities arising and markets expanding beyond national borders, Lonati machines for women's stockings were immediately successful because they were the first in Europe with a fundamental technological innovation: dual-feed processing (double production compared to competitors). The new machines were immediately requested in the ECM, especially in England and the Federal Republic of Germany. Between 1955 and 1960, exportation extended beyond Europe: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Mexico, Chile, South America, North America and Scandinavia. Worldwide relationships were established. From 1966, expansion continued and penetrated to countries behind the Iron Curtain. This international exchange required a careful assessment of market trends, a progressive technological updating and an on-going improvement of industrial plants. As a result, in 1969, the Lonati factory expanded enormously, enlarging the production area to 30,000 m2, 15,000 of which were covered, and increasing the workforce to 300 workers. At the same time, Lonati improved its commercial presence internationally by creating an efficient foreign office and an extensive sales network of agents and representatives. Management was also strengthened, and the three sons Ettore, Fausto and Tiberio joined their father Francesco in the management of the company.
The company occupies an area of 80,000 m2, of which 24,500 are covered, in Brescia in the San Polo area and employs around 600 highly skilled employees.
LONATI GROUP's penetration of the international market is equal to 90% of its annual turnover and sales. Special attention is given to new economic powers in the Middle and Far East, while maintaining close ties with traditional markets in North and South America, Turkey, Europe and parts of Africa. With its huge export network covering 50 countries, excellent customer service, nevertheless, remains in line with the corporate image-assuring top quality products and unsurpassed customer satisfaction. LONATI is therefore a solid reality within the economy of Brescia, with an increasingly representative role at the national, European and global levels.

Action speaks louder than words. There are certain things which are not controllable. What will you do if someone cornered you after knowing your weak point? Weak point is something which need utmost care. It may brings you down from your position, or it may help you in reaching your dream goal.
Before sharing your petite feeling to someone you trusted most, examine yourself twice or thrice...make sure that he or she had also shared their secrets to you. Otherwise accept your defeat to him/her someday.
Winning is beautiful, everybody wants to win; but to win, learn to lose. See his/her reaction when you are in loss...accordingly make your decision. Remember that your correct decision will make your mission of life possible.

Pharrell's new song is a Zane Lowe EXCLUSIVE (but Annie Mac has it too)
Zane presented (shouted) his first show today and the BIG EXCLUSIVE was Pharrell's new song, Freedom. It features the wide open gospel chords and gratuitous handclaps of Happy, but adopts a much more sombre tone. It's really, really good.
But Pharrell didn't get to be Pharrell by putting all his eggs in one basket (he keeps at least three eggs under his hat). He knew that, even though the world's media would tune in to Zane's show, nobody in the real world was paying the blindest bit of attention. So he let a real radio station have the single, too. And, with no small irony, he chose Zane's old stomping ground - Radio 1.
Even more ironic is that Apple - a company at the forefront of technology - hasn't worked out how to let users share it's content, so you can't hear Zane's first play. Nor can you see the video, or even listen to the song, outside Apple's walled-off app.
Whereas Radio 1 - a lumbering, ancient, publicly-funded broadcaster (also my employer) - bunged Pharrell's song up on the internet as soon as Annie Mac came off air.
So here it is in all its glory.
It's worth listening to the Pharrell interview that follows - just to hear him shut down Annie Mac's question about working with Adele.
Oh, and the song got a live outing at Glastonbury on Saturday, where it sounded like this.

Automated Vehicles: More to do with Disabilities Than You Think
Automated vehicles are, without a doubt, the next frontier in automotive innovation. The world waits on and debates the efficacy of self-driving cars and throws around statistics about traffic fatalities to push the agenda. But a far more compelling argument exists, and no one is talking about it.
BraunAbility has always held the firm belief that as many individuals with disabilities as possible should have access to mobility. Accessible vehicles allow users to gain back a modicum of independence, but many aren't able to drive themselves due to the extent of their disability. But imagine the increased independence if someone with disabilities were able to operate their own vehicle because it drives itself?
Shamefully, disability advocates have been a secondary consideration when looking for allies to push for new national regulations regarding automated vehicles. Recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration held a public meeting regarding "operational guidance" for automated vehicles.
Recode reports Susan Henderson, executive directorof the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund, as saying, "Without explicit inclusion of accessibility in the development of technology, their potential for bringing independence and increasing inclusion diminishes. For example, equal access to the internet for people who are blind and deaf and have other disabilities was not considered by web developers at first, and many people with disabilities experienced unnecessary obstacles to information - and still do."
Google announced in Maythat it would be adding 100 custom-built Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans to its experimental fleet of self-driving cars. When we learned of Chrysler's addition of the sleek new Pacifica to its current offering of thepopular Town & Country, we jumped at the opportunity to create the best Pacifica conversion on the market.
Google is proving this technology doesn't just have to be used in pod-type vehicles. Families and, maybe more importantly, people with disabilities would be able to use this technology in their day-to-day lives. Google has long hada goal of serving people with disabilities who are unable to drive.
It's important, then, for lawmakers to start listening to disability advocates when it comes to advancing automated vehicle technology. Doing so is the only way to ensure people with disabilities are not an afterthought and can reap the full benefits of these vehicular advances.

Exxon Mobil Corp investors will push to meet with oil company officials this summer to hash out elements of a climate-impact analysis following a shareholder vote calling for studies of technology and climate-related risks to its business.
Exxon Mobil Corp investors will push to meet with oil company officials this summer to hash out elements of a climate-impact analysis following a shareholder vote calling for studies of technology and climate-related risks to its business. Exxon has said that it will reconsider its opposition to the request, not that it would begin discussions or initiate new studies. The shareholder proposal, filed by 54 groups including financial, religious and corporate governance activists, won the support on Wednesday of 62 percent of Exxon holders.
"I anticipate we'll be having a meeting this summer," said Tracey Rembert, assistant director of Catholic Responsible Investing, one the 54 co-filers.
The White House's decision on Thursday to withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate change has no bearing on the proposal. "We expect the scenario assessment will start to be done quickly at Exxon," Rembert said.

— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) June 1, 2017
The investors behind the proposal routinely met in past years with Exxon between December and February to discuss annual meeting proposals, she said. Earlier discussions because of the majority vote are in order.
Rembert said the group will ask for Exxon to conduct scenario planning exercises that would look at risks from disruptive technology, climate or government policies. "What are the black swan events that can take place beyond low oil prices, aggressive policies or shifting consumer preferences?" she said.
The reconsideration at Exxon comes as Devon Energy and Hess Corp owners on Wednesday will weigh climate-impact resolutions.
Ballot initiatives press for greater studies of the risk that government carbon-reduction efforts in the future make oil and gas reserves uneconomic to tap, leading to investment losses. Study proposals this year received at least 40 percent approval at Duke Energy, Marathon Oil and Southern Co, according to a tally by Ceres, a non-profit group that tracks environmental records of public companies.
"When investors make a very strong statement at a company the size of Exxon Mobil, other competitors in their industry take notice and may reconsider or rethink their investor dialogue on these issues," said Bruce Goldfarb, chief executive of proxy solicitor Okapi Partners.
The Exxon shareholder vote will have minor influence because most of the ballots likely were already cast, said Danielle Fugere, president of As You Sow, a shareholder advocacy group seeking a carbon-risk study at Hess. Last year, its proposal was backed by about 23 percent of Hess holders.
Hess's vice president of investor relations, Jay Wilson, said the company talks regularly with large shareholders but declined to comment on any discussions since the Exxon vote. Devon didn't respond to requests for comment. Directors at both oil companies oppose the studies.

Alganon is not the greatest game in the world, it is just a tribute....
You enter Alganon Game client and hear this song;
This is the greatest and best Game in the world... Tribute.
Long time ago me and my brother David Allen here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
"Create the best game in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
Well me and David Allen, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
And we made the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Game in the World, it was The Best Gay-um in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the user base doth grow...
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Game in the World, no.
This is just a tribute....
Flip Floop, fleebie floop flee,...
I can't get that Jack Black song out of my head. I picture David Allen putting this song on Alganon as you enter the game, so you realize that its just a tribute to a great game....
