How many people commute between Baltimore and DC?
DC's population has grown significantly over the past decade, surpassing the population of Baltimore for the first time in history. Baltimore's population, however, has stayed roughly the same during this same period of time, with a population decrease between 2015 and 2016.
As DC's housing prices have continued to rise in the midst of this population boom, there have been more attempts to convince DC residents to move to Baltimore. Last year, an ad campaign by Live Baltimore pitched the city (and its relatively low home prices) to DC residents, claiming Baltimore offered DC residents the benefits of city living with the affordability of the suburbs.
For would-be commuters worried about the travel time, Maryland recently granted Elon Musk's Boring Company permission to build 10.3 miles of a tunnel underneath the Maryland-owned portion of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, part of Musk's envisioned Hyperloop system that would run from DC to New York.
It's true that home prices in DC are, on average, significantly higher than those in Baltimore — in June 2016, the median home sale price in DC was $561,775, compared to a median of $233,840 in Baltimore. Yet relatively few workers make the commute.
According to the most recent data available, 4,937 Baltimore City residents commuted to the District of Columbia using 2009-2013 American Community Survey commute flow data. If Live Baltimore's ad campaign has been successful — or if Elon Musk's visions of Hyperloop transportation convince DC workers to make the move — it's too soon to see the results using these data sources.
Where people cross state or county lines to get to work
In both the DC and Baltimore metro areas, most workers work within the metro area and state in which they live. Unsurprisingly, however, workers living in many of the counties bordering DC are more likely to cross state lines in their commute: only 58 percent of workers in Prince George's County, 59 percent in Arlington County, and 63 percent in Alexandria work in their respective states of residence.
In most jurisdictions, most workers also work within the same county, but this varies across the region. Intuitively, workers are most likely to work outside of their county (or county-equivalent) of residence when they live in a jurisdiction that has a very small area—e.g., Falls Church, Fairfax City, or Manassas, where fewer than 25 percent of residents work in the county in which they live. Workers living in Arlington (33 percent) and Alexandria (28 percent) are also among those who are unlikely to work in their counties of residence.

Commuter flows: Where workers commute to
So where exactly are workers commuting to? The interactive chart below breaks down commuter flows within the Baltimore-DC metro areas based on 2009-2013 ACS estimates, the most recent ACS data available. Each color corresponds to where workers live (on the left), while the ribbons, scaled to the relative size of commuter flows, show where they work (on the right).
Commuting Flows in the Baltimore and DC Metropolitan Areas
For the interactive version, go here.
Overall, 55 percent of workers who work in DC live in DC's inner suburbs, 30 percent live in DC itself, and 4 percent live in Baltimore's southern suburbs; only 1 percent live in Baltimore City, and 1 percent live in Baltimore county.
Looking at those who work in the broader DC metro area, those who live in counties between Baltimore and DC are also more likely to work in the DC metro area than those who live in Baltimore itself. While 25 percent of workers in Anne Arundel and Howard counties work in the DC metro area, only between 4 and 7 percent of workers in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Baltimore's other suburban counties work in the DC area.
Residents of jurisdictions in the DC metro area are less likely to work in Baltimore than Baltimore metro area residents are to work in DC — only 1 percent of DC residents work in the Baltimore metro area. More recent data will be necessary to determine whether Baltimore residents have started commuting to DC in larger numbers.
About the data
The analysis and charts in this piece were based on American Community Survey 2009-2013 5-Year estimates, available at the following links:
- Table 1. County to County Commuting Flows for the United States and Puerto Rico: 2009-2013
- Table B08007: Sex of Workers by Place of Work – State and County Level
American Community Survey data on commuting (journey to work) includes workers aged 16 and over.
Median home prices use June 2016 county sale price data from Zillow Data (available in the County zip files).
This article is part of the DC Policy Center's ongoing research to generate data and analyses on the District of Columbia's economy and demography.

In a typical car dealership experience, you walk onto a lot and are greeted by either a small dude that is wearing a suit three sizes too big or a creepy guy with a way-too-perfect goatee that's trying to rub off the orange stain of Cheetos powder before shaking your hand. Not in this dealership. In this video for Seat, Alexander Tikhomirov shows the type of car buying experience that every straight man on the planet would die for. We're not sure why he chose Seats for this video, but we sure as hell know why he chose this extremely attractive woman. Just ... just watch.

Do you like hiking, sports, swimming, and making new friends? This summer program is totally 4 U!
My favorite activity was kayaking. Water sports are my favorite because it's fun. If you fall off then you could swim back to your kayak and start to kayak again.
Playing outside was another fun activity because we played soccer, basketball, and D.I.Y. games. We also played a lot of other games.
Going to field trips was also fun. In the end of the program, you get to vote for a field trip that you want to go to. We chose to go to Rainier Beach [Community Center].
This summer was probably the bestest summer ever. It was lit. 100!!!

Sound Thirst Quencher!
Sound Global (967 HK) is a US$1.3 bil market capitalization company specializing in turnkey water and waste water treatment solutions. Its shares trade on the HK Exchange.
Despite favorable macro trends, the company only trades at c.15x PER (at HK$7.5). We anticipate the following to underpin its re-rating to peer multiples of over 20x earnings:
- Familiarization of the name as Sound Global's share was only consolidated to Hong Kong in late February 2014 - More investors are likely to compare its valuations against HK listed Chinese peers which are trading at multiples of 25x. Smaller SGX listed peers such as United Envirotech and Hankore are also trading at similarly healthy multiples.
- Further contract wins as China remains focused on improving the quality of its living environment - In Jan 2014, Sound Global netted two contracts in Xinjiang for the construction of sewage treatment plan in Yiling City and a BOT project in Tacheng City. Since then, it kept its momentum by winning projects in Urumqi, Jiangsu, Guizhou and Fujian. More could be in the pipeline.
- Re-structuring of its finance cost - There is scope to reduce the interest cost to boost earnings.
- Complete dissipation of the short term sales arising from the equitisation of convertible bond holders - Sound Global issued a redemption request on its convertible bonds recently. Given these investors were in the money, they were likely to have converted their bonds and sold off the equity, causing near term weakness in Sound Global's share price. As at late March 2014, there are only c. RMB380 mil worth of convertibles which have not been converted.

Brian Keenan, who died on Wednesday aged 66, was a linchpin of the IRA and one of the most ruthless and formidable members of its leadership; during the 1970s he masterminded some of the worst terrorist atrocities in Northern Ireland and on the British mainland, but in the later stages of the peace process he became a key negotiator in talks over decommissioning.
Keenan's background was an unconventional one for a republican terrorist. His father had been decorated for his wartime service in the RAF, and Brian's involvement in republican extremism owed little to inherited Irishness or Catholicism. Instead he seems to have been inspired by a fanatical commitment to revolutionary Marxism, to which he had been converted in the 1960s. He was a formidable political animal – highly intelligent, fluent in at least four languages, and he possessed organisational and technical skills of a high order.
Keenan joined the Provisional IRA in the late 1960s at the start of the "Troubles". By 1971 he had become quartermaster of the so-called Belfast Brigade, and over the next few years he masterminded a campaign of bombings in the province. A factor in his promotion was his fluency in Arabic, which enabled him to attend training camps in the Middle East and to buy arms, explosives and ammunition from terrorist organisations and rogue states worldwide. He made contacts with the PLO, with the Stasi in East Germany and with Colonel Gaddafi's Libya. He arranged the first arms shipment from Libya in 1972.
In 1973 he took charge of the IRA's operations on the British mainland and became the organisation's Quartermaster General as well as organising armed robberies and kidnappings in the Republic. He became a close confidant of Gerry Adams and was instrumental, while Adams was interned at Long Kesh, in persuading the IRA's Army Council to accept Adams's plan for the restructuring of the organisation to facilitate an extended terrorist operation, with the use of covert cells and the establishment of two separate commands.
Keenan detested publicity. Indeed, but for a drunken argument with a cigarette machine at Corby, Northamptonshire, in the 1960s, he might have remained unknown to this day. That argument caused him to leave his fingerprints on the machine. In December 1975, after a bombing campaign on the mainland in which nine people died and more than 100 were injured in 18 incidents, an IRA unit was arrested in London following the Balcombe Street Seige. In follow-up raids police discovered crossword puzzles in Keenan's handwriting and his fingerprints on bomb parts. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but he remained on the run until March 1979 when RUC officers stopped two cars travelling to Belfast from Dublin.
In the meantime, according to the police informer Sean O'Callaghan, Keenan was instrumental in giving the go-ahead to the "Kingsmill massacre" of 1975, when 10 Protestant workmen were mown down by the Provisional IRA in retaliation for the earlier Loyalist murders of five Catholics in the same area. "The only way to knock the nonsense out of the Prods is to be 10 times more savage," Keenan was reported to have said.
Keenan's arrest was a severe blow to the IRA which promptly, but unsuccessfully, tried to rescue him by helicopter. In his pocket was an address book containing a list of contacts including Palestinian activists in the United Kingdom, as well as a series of notes in code which led the security forces to a network of IRA listening posts – which had been eavesdropping on the security forces, including the private number of the British GOC.
In 1980 Keenan, defended by Michael Mansfield QC, stood trial at the Old Bailey accused of masterminding the IRA's bombing campaign on the mainland and of being implicated in the murders of eight people, including Ross McWhirter and the cancer specialist Professor Gordon Hamilton-Fairley. He was found guilty and sentenced to 18 years in prison.
While Keenan was serving his time, his uncompromising commitment to the armed struggle lost ground to the more pragmatic nationalism of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. After his release from jail in 1993, however, the hardline element reasserted itself as Keenan challenged Adams's "tactical use of armed struggle" strategy (he was said to refer to Adams and McGuinness as "those two fine f------ Catholic boys").
When the peace process stalled over the issue of decommissioning, Keenan, now on the IRA Army Council, was said to have been instrumental in authorising the Docklands bombing which killed two people in 1996. "The only thing the republican movement will accept," Keenan declared at a public ceremony, "is the decommissioning of the British state in this country."
After the IRA resumed its truce in 1997, Sinn Fein helped negotiate a 1998 peace accord that proposed the total disarmament of the IRA by mid-2000. Keenan, who replaced Thomas "Slab" Murphy as the IRA's chief of staff in 1998, quickly ruled out this prospect, arguing that the group would disarm only in co-operation with a future all-Ireland government.
None the less the following year he was appointed to represent the IRA in secret talks on decommissioning with General John de Chastelain.
What appears to have made the difference was the hardening of American public opinion in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks and revelations in 2001 that IRA members had trained Marxist Farc guerrillas conducting a terrorist campaign against the government of Colombia, a US ally.
Keenan's own position was weakened by the fact that he was publicly fingered as the IRA's link man with the guerrillas ("What can you do with a man like Brian?" was the line reportedly used by Adams and McGuinness to furious American officials as the fiasco unfolded), and by the onset of cancer which forced him to step down from the Army Council in 2002.
Although the IRA carried out its disarmament in 2005, Keenan (who remained impervious to the sartorial gentrification that swept the leadership of Sinn Fein), appeared to regard the move as a pragmatic calculation that could be reversed at a later stage. He wondered aloud whether the IRA could have broken British determination by employing greater levels of violence and in an interview with the Sinn Fein newspaper An Phoblacht earlier this year, said: "I would do it all again, but not make the same mistakes."
Brian Keenan was born at Sawtragh, County Londonderry, in 1942 and brought up in Belfast. The family was Catholic, but with no tradition of republicanism. When Brian was born his father, Harry, was serving at RAF Packlington where he won a commendation for bravery after he and a colleague saved the crew of a bomber which had crashed on take-off. After his return to Northern Ireland, Harry Keenan involved himself in community politics and housing issues.
After leaving school Brian Keenan moved, aged 18, to England, where for a time he worked as a television repairman at Corby, in partnership with his brother. While in England his political radicalism developed partly, it was said, as a result of contacts with members of the British Communist Party.
He was said to have studied foreign terrorist movements, particularly the PLO, and acquired an easy familiarity with the revolutionary literary canon. Amongst IRA members, Keenan was said never to be at a loss for an apt quotation from Bakunin, Gramsci or other sages.
He returned to Northern Ireland when the Troubles began and found work at the Grundig factory in Belfast where he became a radical union shop steward.
Later on, there were some who expressed surprise that Keenan had chosen to hitch his star to the Provisionals rather than the "Official" IRA, a more avowedly Marxist faction committed to uniting the Protestant and Catholic working class against their oppressors. It seems that Keenan was astute enough to recognise that revolution would only be achieved – if at all – from working with the grain of sectarian hatreds.
Brian Keenan is survived by his wife, Chrissie, and by six children.

Newly appointed CFO and Executive Vice President of Newark CEDC, Kevin Seawright, is no stranger to the field of real estate development. With over 13 years of experience in capital management under his belt, Seawright is one of the few finance professionals to have successfully juggled working in both the private and government sectors.
Career Beginnings
Seawright began his career with a public sector position in Baltimore, Maryland. After a solid eleven years' experience in the fields of education and real estate, he took his experience to the private industry. Seawright has had a lifelong commitment to bettering the living conditions of urban communities, a passion that shows in his enthusiasm for his upcoming projects. When speaking to WorldClass Magazines Kevin Seawright really highlighted the good they've done for New Jersey as a whole.
Having worked for community betterment in Philadelphia even as a boy, Seawright credits his parents for having inculcated the principles of financial stewardship in him by having him sign up for youth programs. His drive for social betterment hasn't waned in adulthood, as is evident from his dedication to working for change in Newark. That's a big part of what led to Kevin landing the NCEDC job.
Current Projects
Newark CEDC is currently in the process of collaborating with Mayor Ras Baraka to develop a capital management model for small businesses, and an employment program that has already employed about 3,000 students in Newark so far. Development of ports and railroads, and better wifi access is also underway.
Having worked in the education sector, Seawright voices on Twitter that he considers both online and formal education equal parts effective in bringing change. He is credited with developing University of Notre Dame's three part executive leadership course. The program, taught in the university's Mendoza College of Business, focuses on leadership roles in transformational organizations, fundraising strategies, and financial management in the competitive landscape of today.
Focusing On The Future
Seawright attributes his successful career and wins to his focus on improving people's lives, which he says is his biggest motivator. His data focused analysis, flexible management, and creative problem solving skills are some of his biggest strengths. Seawright believes in using his expertise to make a difference in small ways, like the time he was able to provide credit to a Newark entrepreneur who had been turned away by other banks. As CFO of Newark CEDC, he hopes to continue provide easy access to capital for owners of small businesses. In his opinion, boosting entrepreneurial businesses is one of the best ways of boosting Newark's economy.
Personal Life
Even amidst tight travel schedules, Seawright finds time to indulge in some of his favourite hobbies, which include playing basketball and football. Seawright also shares an extremely close relationship with his daughter Tia, and loves spending his free time watching her play basketball and softball. He counts his great relationships with his extended and immediate families as the true measure of his success, and hopes to take this filial spirit to his work projects with the aim of bettering Newark's community and economy. LocalTalkNews had another cool interview with Kevin Seawright, that sheds even more light on his professional life.

Click here to read a fascinating article in the New York Times called "How Do You Raise a Prodigy?" Here's an intriguing bit from this piece:
We live in ambitious times. You need only to go through the New York preschool application process, as I recently did for my son, to witness the hysteria attached to early achievement, the widespread presumption that a child's destiny hinges on getting a baby foot on a tall ladder. Parental obsessiveness on this front reflects the hegemony of developmental psychiatry, with its insistence that first experience is formative. We now know that brain plasticity diminishes over time; it is easier to mold a child than to reform an adult. What are we to do with this information? I would hate for my children to feel that their worth is contingent on sustaining competitive advantage, but I'd also hate for them to fall short of their potential. Tiger mothers who browbeat their children into submission overemphasize a narrow category of achievement over psychic health. Attachment parenting, conversely, often sacrifices accomplishment to an ideal of unboundaried acceptance that can be equally pernicious. It's tempting to propose some universal answer, but spending time with families of remarkably talented children showed me that what works for one child can be disastrous for another.
- Andrew Solomon
My questions for you: Given the choice, would you rather raise a prodigy or a well-rounded child? Would you rather be truly gifted at one thing or good at many things? Are you more tiger or attachment in your parenting style?

The Battleground series of historical strategy games is a pretty extensive one and includes the likes of the very decent Waterloo and the pretty ropy Napoleon in Russia. This fourth installment falls somewhere in the middle and thus makes for a solid, if unspectacular entry into a crowded genre. This one follows the template laid down by the original game in the series, Ardennes, pretty closely, being a turn-based strategy game that focuses on a specific period in history. In this case, it's the American Civil War that gets the attention, with this one following on from Gettysburg and throwing players into the dark days of April 1862 when the Confederates launched a surprise attack on the Union army being led by Ulysses S. Grant. There are multiple scenarios to play through here, and which allow you to see how your generalship skills would have held up in the real-life battles, and you've got all the expected historically accurate units to make use of here. Shiloh certainly isn't groundbreaking in terms of historical strategy games but it does deserve some credit for simply getting most of its elements and features right. This one features more challenging AI than previous games, while the scenarios are fascinating and genuinely enjoyable to play through and which are supported by some atmospheric music. The game is very narrow in focus, while there's no scenario editor which does hamper the long term appeal somewhat, but as long as you're interested in the period and are happy to play through the missions here, you should be in for a good time.

Time-Lapse: The Mountain
Less than a month ago I linked to a stunning video produced by Terje Sørgjerd called "The Auora". A little over a week ago, he posted a second video filmed on El Teide in Spain. El Teide is Spain's highest mountain and, as Terje writes, "one of the best places in the world of photograph the stars and is also the location of the Teide Observatories, considered one of the world's best observatories". Terje goes on to write:
The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies. A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes. Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.

Aldridge Jr. and his wife Jennifer and their five daughters, Erin, Amanda, Brooke, Hunter, and Carley. Especially fond she was of her four great grandsons, Sawyer, Hudson, Levi, and Beckett.

Mary was born in Fullerville, NY on September 27, 1938 and graduated from Gouverneur High School in 1955 and SUNY Potsdam in 1959 with a teaching degree. She spent her entire teaching career in the Schuylerville Central School system. It is here that she married her husband, Rodger on September 1st, 1961 and raised their two children, Rodger Aldridge(Tupper Lake, NY) and Deborah Yackel(Williamson, NY). Mary and Rodger were dedicated residents of Schuylerville where they served their school, church, and community.
During her 38 years of teaching Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grade in Schuylerville, she touched thousands of children's lives. She volunteered in her community as a member of the United Methodist Church, Garden Club, Dollars for Scholars, Meals on Wheels and The Red Hat Society. She also enjoyed being a MaryKay consultant.
After she retired from teaching, she spent several years traveling the world with friends. She loved the adventure of seeing new places, and returning home with videos and pictures to share with her family. She loved to garden and paint. Most of all she loved spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She enjoyed reading and doing special activities with all of them. She was always a teacher at heart. She will be greatly missed.

A memorial service was held by the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society at the old wall of the former Taipei Prison on Jinshan S Road on June 20 to honor the US airmen who were incarcerated in the prison in the last months of World War II, as well as the 14 men who were executed in the prison's courtyard by a Japanese firing squad 64 years ago.
At 3pm, members of the POW Society and representatives from the Taipei City Government, the ROC Veterans Affairs Commission, the American Institute in Taiwan and other supporters gathered by the old entrance to the prison and marched to where a new plaque is located, led by Canadian bagpiper Mal Turner.
Dignitaries unveiled a plaque and Reverend David Homer of Grace Christian Church read a message and a prayer to dedicate the memorial.
Wreaths were laid alongside the plaque and 14 poppy crosses lined the wall in commemoration of the slain men. The piper played Amazing Grace and two minutes of silence were observed.
Michael Hurst, director of the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society said: "The courage of these Allied airmen must never be forgotten. They fought for their country and the cause of freedom and what they believed was right. They have all sacrificed much for our freedom — let us never forget!"
On Jan. 28, 1945, a PB4Y-1 Liberator aircraft was shot down over southern Taiwan and crashed in the sea after attacking Japanese ships.
Of the crew, six survivors were taken prisoner. One of those, who was severely injured in the crash, was sent to Japan where he finished the war in a hospital . The other men were imprisoned in Taihoku (Taipei).
On May 29, 1945, the five remaining crewmen and nine other captured US soldiers were tried before a Japanese "War Disciplinary Tribunal," found guilty and sentenced to death. In the early hours of June 19, 1945, the men were shot in the prison's courtyard.
The remaining prisoners were released on Sept. 5, 1945.

The first time I heard of the four classical elements, it was from a middle school chemistry teacher who was making fun of the whole idea. He said that modern concepts like atoms and the periodic table of the elements had made the division of things into earth, water, air and fire obsolete. For him, he two ways of looking at the world were a contrast between an older (ignorant) way of looking at nature and a modern (enlightened) one.
Which sort of made sense, until he then taught us everything in nature is divided into solid, liquid, gas and plasma/energy. Seemed like a pretty tight correspondence with the four elements to me!
But the time-tested idea of the elements isn't just about abstract theories. The elements can form the basis of a system of correspondences, through which we can work with nature and her laws to improve our lives. Going even deeper, we can work with the four elements and their representatives, the elementals or elemental devas, to forge a deep connection between human and nature.
Here are some ideas about how to do that:
Elements in your living space: Many people keep symbols of the four elements on their altar, or somewhere else in their living space. I have four mini-altars, one for each element, and also natural symbols like feathers and shells in the windowsills facing each direction. I feel this helps keep a good balance of energy in my home.
Meditation: There are many ways to meditate on the elements — focusing on them within your own body, immersing your mind in elemental images from nature, or meditating with associated crystals and other representative objects. One way to meditate on them in balance is to use a tree meditation below.
Tarot: The four tarot suits are based on the four elements. Traditionally, swords are associated with air, wands with fire, chalices with water, and pentacles with earth. In any tarot spread, considering the elemental implications of the cards is part of the reading — often a big part. For example, if you draw a five-card spread and four of the cards come from the chalices, the reading will most likely focus on emotions. This can be a great intuitive way to find out if something is out of balance or needs attention. And if tarot isn't your thing, various oracle decks also use the elements.
Working with elementals: Elementals, sometimes called elemental devas, are spiritual personifications of the elements. The best place to find them is out in nature, where you may sense their presence or even see something out of the corner of your eye. Elementals of each type have places they prefer: Earth elementals are fond of caves, for example, and water elementals of natural springs. Working with spiritual beings always involves a certain suspension of disbelief, and some unlearning of simplistic images — time to let go of those garden gnomes and sexpot mermaids! Elementals are not gods, but rather beings that occupy a plane somewhere between gods and humans. They are powerful and a little wild, so take care in working with them. Be especially careful when asking for a favor: state your needs exactly, being careful not to request too much, lest you end up with more than you can handle. You'll also want to mind your pleases and thankyous, and leave a small but appropriate token of appreciation.
As a Key to Understanding: Probably the basic way to use the elements is to simply use them as a way to understand the world. Elements are especially helpful in understanding personality. When you meet new people, reading their elemental make-up can give you a quick and effective way to know how to interact with them. For example, if a new boss has a strongly grounded earth personality, you'll want to be extra careful to read the employee manual and meet all your deadlines; on the other hand, if you see more air in their personality, you may want to get ready for midnight brainstorming sessions! Either way, getting this kind of early "read" on the people around you can help you know what to expect.
These are just a few of the ways to interact the elements and benefit from their help. It's something anyone can add to their spiritual practice and learn from. You may even wind up teaching your science teacher a thing or two!

QR Codes in the Boardroom
QR codes have been used in the classroom to make it easier for students to access multimedia content to supplement the lessons they have in class. In some schools, books and handouts often have QR codes on them to help make learning interactive and fun.
Some companies are also using QR codes. And no, it is not just limited to marketing!
QR codes used in presentations
One of the areas where QR codes are being used is in presentations.
You can prepare a slideshow highlighting only the important points and have a QR code on these slides for people who would be interested to learn more about the data, statistics, study or annual report that you are discussing.
QR codes make reports come alive
If you are dealing with written reports, you can use a QR code to make your report easily come alive with audio files and videos. If graphs, charts and tables are not enough, why not make your data come alive. You could also record a short presentation based on your written report and put it behind the QR code.
QR codes for confidential data
A lot of times, we find ourselves handling confidential and sensitive information that should not be seen by the wrong pair of eyes. With QR codes, you can easily safeguard your confidential information!
For example, you might have a presentation on the company's new drug and how these are faring while it is being clinically tested. Instead of printing everything in your report, and keeping the presentation materials under lock and key and hope not one copy gets lost, you can just keep the data online, secure it with a password and put the URL behind a QR code.
During your presentation, you can ask people to scan the QR code and provide them with the password.
This way, even if your assistant leaves a page of your report inside the photocopier, people would not be able to access your data. Even if they do figure out what your QR code leads to, they will need the password to access the data itself.

DOVER — A state Supreme Court order allowing cell phones to be on "silent mode" inside courtrooms isn't stopping the Strafford County Sheriff's Department from banning the phones from the county Administrative Building that houses Superior Court.
Citing safety concerns, Capt. Joseph DiGregorio and other county officials spent about a year drafting the new policy to ban cell phones and other electronic devices from the facility. It is scheduled to go into effect June 1.
Under the county's ban, attorneys, law enforcement and the media are exempt, but the public won't be allowed to bring the devices into the building.
DiGregorio said the inspiration for the ban came from an incident at Dover District Court in early 2008 when — during a court proceeding — someone from the public took a picture of an undercover police detective.
"Our big concern with the cell phones are safety issues that arise with people taking photographs with them," DiGregorio said.
During the Dover incident, sheriff deputies were able to confront the person taking the picture and seized the phone but the incident served as a wake-up call, according to DiGregorio, who noted there have been cases across the county of people taking pictures of undercover agents and posting them on websites or T-shirts as a way to tip off the public.
"We would like to think we stayed ahead of the curve. Rather than reacting to a problem, we're preventing one," he said. "We don't want to compromise any police officer in an undercover position or any investigation."
As a way to make the courts current with technology and improve media access, the Supreme Court issued an order on Jan. 11, 2008 that states, "Electronic devices, including laptops, personal digital assistants and cellular telephones are permitted in the courtroom unless the presiding justice finds that use of a particular device will disrupt a court proceeding."
Cell phones must be on "silent mode" while in the courtroom, says the order, which also allows for audio recorders, video cameras and still cameras in the courtroom.
DiGregorio said he is aware of the Supreme Court order, but said Strafford County is in a unique situation because the facility is owned by the county and the state leases court space from the county. And because it's a county building the Sheriff's Department is in charge of building security.
"We respect the court's decision, but it doesn't mean we agree with it," he said. "If it was a 'stand-alone court' we wouldn't have this restriction, but considering there are other entities in the building, we thought this ban was appropriate."
Laura Kiernan, communications director for the New Hampshire Judicial Branch, acknowledged the Sheriff's Department is in charge of building security in Strafford County and said the state cooperates with them.
She added, "The sheriffs control the building and we control the courtrooms."
Those visiting the Registry of Deeds may also possess cell phones and other devices in the building, for the limited purpose of facilitating their participation in matters pertinent to deeds, according to DiGregorio.
DiGregorio said the new policy was well thought out and said Superior Court Judge Kenneth Brown helped draft it.
Brown was unavailable for comment on Wednesday because he was out of town for a judge's conference.
County commissioners and the county's safety committee also supported the new policy, according to DiGregorio.
Strafford County Superior Court Clerk Julie Howard declined to comment about the new policy.
DiGregorio said the new policy will also address concerns about members of the public taking pictures of victims and juries.
"We didn't have any major issues with this before," he said. "These are just concerns we had and we wanted to do something before they became a real issue."

Car, Van &Commercial VehicleInsurance
Competitive Insurance From Insurance Specialists
With a leading panel of Insurers it makes sense to see what 2Gether can offer
Due to our specialism in niche or abstract vehicles, a lot of people do not realise we also provide high quality, competitive car, van and commercial vehicle insurance. The good news is that we do and our specialist knowledge extends to these vehicles as well.
With insurance premiums seemingly forever on the increase why not try 2Gether to see how much you could save.
With over a decade of experience arranging insurance policies for all types of vehicle, you can trust our expertise and knowledge to find you a tailored insurance policy, that is also friendly towards your pocket.
No Claims Bonus & Protection
When No Claims Bonus Is Required & Can Be Protected
If your vehicle is your main mode of transport for travelling to work in, going to the shops etc, then as you would expect the greater your No Claims Bonus is, the cheaper the insurance.
In addition, if you have at least 4 years No Claim Bonus, you are are to protect this for a small additional premium, usually around 10% extra. This affords you the peace of mind, that if the worst were to happen and you make a claim on your insurance, the number of years No Claims Bonus you have is not reduced. This is because normally, without No Claims Bonus protection, in the event of a claim your bonus is reduced by two years, or even wiped out entirely if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in two or more incidents during the term of your insurance policy.
Protecting your bonus will ensure that your discount will not be effected, however as always there are conditions, typically as long as you have no more than 2 claims within a 3 year period.
However, No Claims Bonus Isn't Always Required....
Unlike the above scenario, if your vehicle is a secondary vehicle to you or used primarily for social or recreational activity, typically No claims Bonus is not required or taken into consideration. This is because in this situation the annual mileage of the vehicle is typically lower and may only be used once or twice a week at the most. Consequently, Insurers understand that your No Claims Bonus discount can only be used on one insurance policy at a time, so for the majority who are using their bonus on their main or regular vehicle, seems unfair to penalise and charge higher insurance premiums. This is also how classic car insurance works.
No matter which of the above applies to you, 2Gether have the experience and Insurers ready and waiting to assist, and hopefully save you some money as well.
Vehicle Usage
Social, Domestic & Pleasure Only (SDP)
- With this type of cover, the vehicle can be used by the policyholder and named drivers for non-work-related driving only. This is also known as social, domestic and pleasure use only.
- This usage is typically opted for by policyholders who only use their vehicle for normal day-to-day driving, such as driving to visit family and friends or shopping.
Social , Domestic, Pleasure & Commuting (SDP&C)
- This extends Social, Domestic & Pleasure Only cover to allow the policyholder and named drivers to commute to one, permanent, fixed place of work.
- Bear in mind that commuting just part of the way to work is still classed as commuting. So for example, if you commute part way to a train station, to then catch a train the rest of the way to work, this is still classed as commuting.
- If you have any questions around this please speak to an advisor at the time you obtain a quotation
Business Use - Class 1
- If your job entails travelling to more than one permanent place of work, you will need Class 1 Business Use on your policy.
- Class 1 Business Use does not permit commercial use, such as deliveries or courier use, or door to door selling.
- Usually your Spouse, if named on the policy, will also be covered for this usage, but no other driver, even if they are named on the policy.
Business Use - Class 2
- Class 2 Business Use is very similar to Class 1 Business Use. It does, however, also permit an additional named driver, to that of the policyholder and Spouse where applicable, to use the vehicle for travelling to more than one location in conjunction with their job.
- Unhelpfully, these terms can vary from Insurer to Insurer, so it's best to ask an advisor when obtaining a quotation.
- This is an extension of Class 2 Business Use in that it allows the carriage of goods but not for delivery. An example of this may be a travelling salesperson who has samples or demonstrators to show potential clients.
- Anything not covered by a category above will typically come under Commerical usage and insurance.
- Examples of this can be courier or delivery use, taxi, driving instructor or hiring your vehicle out.
Business Use - Class 3
Optional Extras
Excess Protection
With the cost of insurance and the average excess increasing year after year, now is the perfect time to consider Excess Protection, and how it can benefit you.
The average excess on a motor vehicle policy in the UK is £350.00 and is often an unaccounted cost and can come as a shock in an already stressful situation. 2Gether Excess Protection removes the stress by reimbursing you your excess once your claim is settled.
What's more, with our Excess Protection starting from as little as £14.86, you can increase your voluntary excess on your insurance, saving you money, safe in the knowledge you will not have any nasty surprise.
Key Care
Key Care is an optional extra that can be added on to your insurance.
It covers against the loss, damage, theft or breakage of your keys, along with the cost re-programming replacement keys where necessary
Some of the main benefits include:
- No payable excess
- Any claim made does not effect the insurance policy your Key Care was taken alongside
- Annual claim limit of £1500
Just mention to one of our advisors when obtaining a quote that your are interested in Key Care cover to find out more.

In African tradition the mother is the heart beat of the household, powerful, strong and beautiful she guides and nurtures the family. Momma's Good Boy was birthed in the streets of Nairobi and celebrates the love and loyalty that exists between mother and son.

The story depicted in the logo is the struggle of youth and the transition of becoming a man and the mistakes and lessons one has to learn and the belief a mother retains in the potential her son has to become all he can be; irrespective of wrong decisions made along the way.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are located in the back of the abdominal cavity, according to WebMD. The organ pair sits against the back muscles in the lower back.
The kidneys are essential organs that are utilized by the body to filter blood and urine, according to WebMD. Every blood cell in the human body passes through the kidney as some point. As blood passes through the kidneys, it goes through a series of vessels as it is filtered. The kidneys remove waste products from the blood and then help the body excrete the waste products through urine.

So this is the reason I fall when I try to sit down today.... all thanks to sumo squats.
I wanted to share one of my 4 leg-day routines. This is my attempt to cure my chicken-leg syndrome. I superset each leg set with a core routine. I've just started, so I can't comment on the results. One of the trainers at my gym mentioned I need to consume a ton of calories to put good mass on my legs... but I'm not prepared go that route yet.

Prepare dough: Combine water, yeast, salt, eggs, honey and butter. Stir in all flour. Cover dough and rise at room temperature for about two hours. After rising, if there is time to refrigerate and cool the dough it will make it easier to handle and shape.
Prepare berries: Depending on the type of berries you are using, you may elect to sweeten them with a sprinkle of honey. If you are using strawberries, they should be sliced. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to any berries.
Assemble the braid: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the top with flour and use a blunt knife to divide the dough into equal halves. Sprinkle a working surface with flour and gently form one half of the dough into a round ball. Using first your fingers, then a rolling pin, roll out the dough to an oval 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place the oval on the parchment. Using a blunt knife, cut 1 inch wide strips directly away from the center of the oval, symmetrically down both sides (see illustration). Spread 4oz of chévre down the uncut middle of the oval, then add 1/2 of the berries on top of the chévre. Fold in the end of the oval, then alternate strips down the sides to create the braid. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
Use a pastry brush to brush the top of the bread with egg wash. Sprinkle a little sugar on top if desired.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden on the top.
3/4c warm water
1/2 Tbsp yeast
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
1/4c honey
3/4c butter (1 1/2 sticks) melted
3 3/4c all purpose flour
1 pint fresh berries
8oz plain chévre

Another busy day. After work I thermal imaged another two houses. It's hard to know how much people are getting out of the exercise but I hope they are able to run their houses at the same temperature but for less money and less impact on the environment.
Tonight blip is a close up of the sticker on the side of the camera. Took quite a bit of effort to get it right, the plastic reflects quite a lot of light which makes it look very mosaic like - which it doesn't appear to the naked eye. Back blipped owing to time constraints.

The trouble with communauté
Strange things are happening across the English Channel. First, Sarkozy has just taken France back into Nato's military command. Now, according to the Guardian and other British papers, the French government plans to break another taboo by finding ways of collecting ethnic and racial data. People could now be asked in surveys about their ethnic or racial 'community', e.g. black, white, North African or Asian. The Guardian's reporter goes on to say that this proposal has
caused outrage from both left and rightwing politicians and intellectuals in France, where the very word "community" is seen as an affront to the republican ideal. The British approach of multiculturalism is seen as dangerously divisive.

Malaysia is often known as the melting pot of Asia; various ethnic groups (from an assortment of religious groups in the Malays to Indians and Chinese) live there with the native Dayaks. The result of this mixture of cultures is an astounding array of cuisine, festivals, experiences, and people to meet. Aside from the cultural beauty, Malaysia is known for its idyllic natural beauty in the beaches, diverse animal species, equatorial national parks, ancient rainforests, and islands. Here is your guide to travelling the beautiful Malaysia (on the cheap):
- The City of Penang
Penang is the lesser-known foodie capital of both Asia and the world. Because of the ethnic diversity, cheap food, and authentic cooking traditions, the gastronomic scene in this city is nothing less than eye-opening and astounding. Street food is an integral part of Asian cuisine, and Penang does it best. From Georgetown's Chinatown to its Little India, walking the streets of Penang offers a sensory overload of fresh spices and aromatic dishes being served. Start at the waterfront, ready to walk and eat your heart out, then go to Gurney Drive to continue around the city square. You can get anything from freshly-cooked meat to biryani, from chili dishes to Hainan Chicken Rice. One of the most iconic dishes of Malaysia is Char Koay Teow, a noodle dish that evolved in the Guangdong province in China and combines prawns stir-fried with flat noodles, soy and chili sauces, blood cockles, bean sprouts, and often other proteins like egg or chicken.

- Batu Caves
Located in Selangor, the Batu Caves are the site of a Hindu temple and a large shrine of the Hindu God (Brahman), in addition to the three caves. If you like animals, monkeys are everywhere here, but make sure to guard your personal belongings, as they're known to steal. The limestone on the caves is also perfect for rock-climbing enthusiasts. The official tour of the caves is around $50, but you can explore on your own for as little as $5– a strategy recommended more from various attendee reviews. Take a gander at some of the most beautiful forms of geological growth!
- Langkawi Sky Cab
If the "steepest cable-car trip in the world" title isn't enough for you, the picturesque views of the stunning beaches and tropical forests surely will be. The Langkawi Sky Cab offers an astounding view for $17 per adult ticket–which may seem a little pricey, but the experience is priceless. It's a cross between a closed Ferris wheel and a ski-lift (or vernacular), which easily makes it easy to feel on top of the world.
- Teman Negara Hike
While being in the major cities is fun and upbeat, nothing beats being out in nature, and with the Teman Negara Hiking Trails, it's even easier to feel tranquility in the wraps of a beautiful rainforest– the oldest one in the world, that is. There are a myriad of trail options, from one that lasts an hour to one for nearly 7 days. You can even explore the caves or do their famous "canopy-walk" suspended among the tall trees and magnificent birds.

- Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre
$7 can take you far in Malaysia, but nothing might be as spectacular as the orangutan rehabilitation centre in the Sabah District of North Borneo in Malaysia. The centre primarily rehabilitates young orangutans orphaned as a result of illegal logging and deforestation or illegally being traded and kept as pets, and visitors can have a chance to see the renewal of life for these magnificent animals. Whether zoology is one of your interests or not, this experience is an unforgettable one.

December 13, 1949
Handwritten letter of Nephi to Aunt Maria and her daughter Ella from Sacramento in California. It has been over a decade since the last letter: he is now married with three children. The winter of 1948-1949 has been especially hard. The children have been sick from time to time, but "now they're just as wild as before." The little girl (Joan) can already walk and is trying to say a few words. Nephi talks of his love for German literature, but he is forgetting the language. He hopes to travel the West Coast as far as Canada the coming summer. Automobiles are a topic again, and he has been keeping the car that he bought in 1942. Greetings from Leola and the children: Robert, Richard and Joan.
[stamp in upper left-hand corner: "Austrian Censor Board 173"]
Sacramento, California
5 April 1949
Dear Ella and Aunt Maria:
Many thanks for your letter. Yes, it really has been a long time since we've heard from you. We're thankful, Ella, that you're healthy again to some extent. We also wish the same for Aunt Maria.
The winter here has been very cold. Where we usually don't have any frost, it's been frosty for a long time. Many of the orange and citrus trees have frozen. But here in California it's still been warm compared to other parts of the country. Snow and cold to the point where the trains couldn't travel through the mountains anymore. The cattle and the wild animals also froze to death. They say this has been the heaviest winter for a number of years. Snow in our mountains at the border of California has often been five meters deep [16 feet]. But nevertheless, we are all healthy and happy.
The children have been sick from time to time, but now they're all just as wild as ever again.
I feel very neglectful since I haven't written to Hilda yet. I really must take the time and write her a few lines.
Our children are growing like weeds. The little girl is now over a year old. She can already walk well and tries to say a few words.
I can't remember if I owe Hertha a letter. We haven't heard from her for a long time. I hope everything is going well with her. I also need to take the time to write to Hertha.
Since I use German very rarely, I can't write or speak well anymore. I would like to use the language more often, but don't have any opportunity. In school I studied the works of Goethe, Schiller, Schnitzler, Heine, etc., and learned to love them.
Please write me and I will try to answer more and more quickly. I've gotten so involved with my family that I've nearly forgotten everything else.
This summer I will go traveling a little. Maybe northward to Oregon or Washington as far as Canada. We don't know yet, but we hope we can take such a trip.
I still have the car that I bought in 1942. Many new cars are available for sale now, but they cost so much! Almost twice the price! The people have a lot more money than earlier, but the cost of living is also much more than it used to be.
I don't mean to say that I'm not satisfied, but times have changed a lot of things.
Leola says to send you her greetings, as do Robert, Richard and Joan.
Maybe I can write more next time.
Many thanks for your letter -
As always - Your Nephi

Indiana camp preview: How does the defense look?
The BTN 2014 camp tour begins on Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind., where we will check out Kevin Wilson's fourth Indiana squad in the first of 14 stops. Hopes are high in southern Indiana, as Wilson looks to punch the Hoosiers' first postseason ticket since 2007. Indiana came close to a bowl last season, finishing 5-7 with narrow home losses to Navy and Minnesota proving to be costly.
Here are the questions I'll be looking to answer for a program with a new offensive and defensive coordinator.
Get Tom Dienhart's latest posts:
[display-posts category="tom-dienhart" posts_per_page="4″]
1. How does the defense look? Kevin Wilson fired coordinator Doug Mallory, who had been on the job all three seasons of Wilson's tenure. But the defense got worse each season. Brian Knorr was tabbed from Wake Forest, where he brings a 3-4 alignment that's billed as being more aggressive and deceptive. It all begins up front for a unit with nine starters back. The linebackers are getting lots of hype. I wanna see guys like Flo Hardin, T.J. Simmons, David Cooper, Clyde Newton and Marcus Oliver.
2. Is the offensive line dominating? This could be one of IU's best fronts in years. The left side of the line could be a cut-above, with athletic tackle Jason Spriggs and powerful guard Bernard Taylor anchoring. Center Collin Rahrig is an award candidate and best of the bunch. Right guard Dan Feeney—coming off a foot injury that cost him 2013–is another building block.
3. How do the wideouts look? Top options Kofi Hughes and Cody Latimer are gone. Complicating matters: TE Ted Bolser also has departed. Add it up, and that's 154 receptions, 2,155 yards and 22 touchdowns gone. Diminutive Shane Wynn must be on his game. I also will be checking out Nick Stoner, Mitchell Paige, Isaiah Roundtree, Caleb Cornett and touted freshman Dominique Booth. Any tight ends in the house?
4. How is the kicking? Mitch Ewald is gone after finishing second in Hoosiers' annals with 320 career points. He held the job for four seasons and left IU as the school's all-time leader in field goals (53), field-goal percentage (53-of-66, 80.3 percent) and PATs (161-of-162).
5. Is RB Tevin Coleman as good as I think after running for 958 yards in 2013? He's a potential stallion who seems primed to be a 1,000-yard rusher. If not for an ankle injury that cost him the final three games, Coleman would have eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2013. Will the Hoosiers' feature him more?
6. Is FS Antonio Allen OK? The bone-crusher incurred a season-ending knee injury in the seventh game last year. Before that, he impressed. Allen needs to be a stud for this defense to go from awful to decent.
7. Is QB Nate Sudfeld rolling? It's his job now that Tre Roberson has transferred to Indiana State. He must have swagger. I also will watch the backup situation, which is now a critical area. If Sudfeld gets hurt, …. Uh-oh.
