Project Description
At WSP, we have the capacity to impact and shape the guts of cities - urban infrastructure - from transport, energy, water and waste to environmental regulation, green buildings and smart city control systems. We have a global network of designers, technical specialists and collaborative partners and expertise on every continent... So, in rising to the challenge of urban humanity and realising the vision of The City 2.0, if not us, then who? And if not in Africa, then where? The Opportunity There are a few key projections that it would do well to put on the table at this stage: - By 2030, it is expected that 85% of the world's population will be in developing countries, with 15% in LDCs. - The population in urban areas in less developed countries will grow from 1.9 billion in 2000 to 3.9 billion in 2030. - Though Africa is predominantly rural, with only 37.3 % living in urban areas in 1999, with a growth rate of 4.87%, Africa is the continent with the fastest rate of urbanisation. - By 2030, Asia and Africa will both have higher numbers of urban dwellers than any other major area of the world. from "UN Habitat" What this means is that in Asia, Latin America and Africa, there is likely to be an explosion of new cities and urban precincts whose form is still to be given. These new cities are perhaps our biggest opportunity - environmentally, socially and economically - to leapfrog the extractive legacy of the 20th century and link urban form, urban infrastructure and urban ecology in a way that addresses our urgent environmental and social challenges. And we're seeing it - new urban models are the language of some our most innovative design minds. New Songdo City in Korea, at $35 billion the biggest private real estate investment ever, is building the concept of the aerotropolis (check out the book "Aerotropolis" by Greg Lindsay and John Kasarda) with airports being the hubs of a new urban form. Paul Romer is describing 'Charter Cities' where new cities are built from scratch with new rules and innovative governance structures. Fund managers are looking specifically to Kenya's new cities - Thika Rd and Tatu City near Nairobi as the first wave of Africa's new urbanism. The very scale of the opportunity is something in itself; however it is the degree to which these new cities are able to address humanity's big challenges that may ultimately determine their staying power... The Challenge Cities are a wicked problem - complex systems of continually changing variables where any attempt to address one specific element ultimately has un-intended consequences on all the other elements. Wicked problems cannot be solved, they can only be managed, with relative success... Increasingly, design thinking is being proposed as a particularly useful tool in the management of wicked problems broadly, and cities in particular. And cities are a wicked problem within the context of a whole suite of wicked problems: climate change, biodiversity loss and food security - each linked intricately to the other, and each posing its own set of conundrums. Briefly, among a myriad of others: - our changing climate is impacting global grain supplies as I write, and the resultant spikes in the food price index have previously been linked to the severe social unrest that ignited the Arab Spring - all developing countries will be tested on the climate impacts on food security - the planetary boundaries research on resilience indicate that we have overshot key biophysical boundaries on climate change, biodiversity loss and phosphorus - each of these have a severe impacts on the socio-ecological systems on which humanity relies; - the carbon bubble: keeping the climate to an average 2 deg C rise will require $20 trillion of proven fossil fuel reserves, factored into the words stock market, to be written off. In Africa we are faced with a human development challenge - education, healthcare, gender equity, governance and peace. Our current urbanisation models result in slums, and tackling the informal sector poses a huge challenge to our built environment professionals. The intensity of our resource consumption and growth-based economic model leave us limited options within the status quo to address these challenges in a meaningful way. The Status Quo On my blog (www.thepointyend-of-sustainability.blogspot.com), I have bemoaned the nature of the infrastructure status quo for cities: linear, siloed and extractive. Our systems are founded on the myth of economies of scale and lack resilience at every level. They often have single points of failure - centralised systems with little capacity for scenario-planning and adaptive response to changing conditions. Our financial models are inflexible; unable to take account of true costs, real balance sheets (natural, social and financial capital) and the benefits of a higher quality of life - livability. Our urban rivers are squeezed into concrete culverts and our urban ecology forced to the margins. Our governance structures mirror our 20th century infrastructure - inflexible and centralised. And yet the opportunities to do better are so huge, perhaps because we're building off such a low base... Future Cities - The Business Given these three contextual considerations: wide opportunity, huge challenges and a status quo unable to address either, our business is to manage all three. Through a combination of integrated design, trans-disciplinary processes and a core engineering delivery capacity, WSP provides our clients with the tools to leverage the opportunities, while addressing the challenges by offering engineered alternatives to the status quo. Our Future Cities Africa business is founded on three principles: integrated design, trans-disciplinarity and delivery. Design: integrated design provides us with the opportunity to manage critical resource intensity of urban design across the historical professional boundaries. It provides an opportunity to address real systems, rather than the constructs of one set of professional skills. Trans-disciplinary input: WSP is at heart and engineering business. On the one hand, we have the core design capacity to break down the traditional silos of professional disciplines, leading to a breadth of experience on urban issues through design. We are able to address the spatial elements of the city capably through our integrated design process. On the other hand, we are not specialists when it comes to the social, ecological and economic systems of cities, which have a critical role to play in Future Cities. As such, we have formed strategic partnerships with governance, economic and research specialists to provide our clients with a service that can truly transcend the status quo. Delivery: for all the best intentions, any business aiming to have an impact on cities in a real sense must have delivery capacity. And that is where a long-standing track record of projects on the ground across the continent comes to the fore. We have the technical design and documentation skills, the relationships with suppliers and tech developers and the site management experience to bring the dreams of our clients to reality. Design, for its own sake, is self-absorbed. Delivery without design is blind. Each core principle alone has no hope of changing the face of our continent, or our planet, for the better. But in combination, they have the chance to realise the City 2.0 - dream it, build it, make it real...
What are the main takeaways from this story?
1. Any "Future" approach must be framed from many disciplines, not any single perspective.
2. Success hinges on your capacity for delivery, not just thought leadership.
3. The opportunities to things better than we have in the aast is immense.
Describe a "good" failure in your process or explain how potential challenges resulted in opportunities to learn or grow.
A "good' failure has been the (sometimes painful) process of discovering you can't be a specialist in all areas; that you need collaboration to succeed. In my case, it has come from realising I'm not a: an economist, b: an anthropologist and c: that my appreciation of ecology is shallow.
What was the biggest challenge or biggest surprise?
The biggest challenge is making a commercial case to clients who are operating in the conservative, conventional property development market.
Explain how to share this project with your community?
We're building new cities and fixing old ones so that when there are big storms or long droughts, the lights stay on, there are veggies on the dinner table and you can still flush the loo.

30 second game guide
Bring'em Out: NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 between No. 18/14 (AP/Coaches) Gonzaga (29-4) and No. 5/5 Xavier (29-3) at ARCO Arena in Sacramento on Saturday at 8:32pm on ESPN2.
Watch for: The Musketeers to come out with a chip on their shoulder. The Bulldogs ousted Xavier in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year (GU beat them 74-59). There would be no better revenge than for the Musketeers to send the Zags home in the Sweet 16. The only problem is, Gonzaga is out to prove they belong with the nation's elite programs. They've already taken down perennial power North Carolina and 2nd seeded Texas A&M (ranked 9th in the country) in this tournament.
Fear: Xavier's twin towers. Ta'Shia Phillips is 6'6" and Amber Harris is 6'5". The two average more than 30 points and 20 rebounds per game combined. Harris scores 16 points and nine rebounds, while Phillips gets 14 points and 11 boards per contest. The Musketeers also have 6'4" Der-ryka Martin if Phillips or Harris get in foul trouble. That's a serious size advantage figuring the tallest players on GU's roster are just 6'2" .
Respect: Gonzaga. The women's basketball team has progressively improved over the last few years and this year's team is the best in school history. Four players average double-figures in scoring (Heather Bowman 15.2, Courtney Vandersloot 14.3, Vivian Frieson 12.5, and Katelan Redmon 11.0), but the team gets plenty of production elsewhere (Tiffanie Shives and Kayla Standish both average eight points per contest). With that said, Gonzaga must shoot the ball well from outside on Saturday if they want to win. They'll have a tough time scoring inside against Xavier's bigs.
Random Stuff: Gonzaga and Xavier are both riding 20-game winning streaks (tied for the third longest streak in the country right now). The Musketeers are 5-0 at neutral sites, so they don't appear to be fazed away from Cincinnati (they are also 9-1 on the road this season). Gonzaga is 3-2 at neutral sites, but they also shine on the road (10-2 away from Spokane this year). Both schools take pride in being Jesuit universities.


text: Source: US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. Peak Mobility (Annual Vehicle-Miles Traveled in the United States and Year-over-Year Changes, 1971-2013) The growth of vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) within the United States was punctuated by sharp periods of decline corresponding to recessions. The drops attributed to the first (1973-74) and second (1979-80) oil shocks were particularly pronounced. However growth rates resumed immediately afterwards to their previous levels. The overall growth trend has steadily been declining, which is common in all diffusion processes as the activity moves towards maturity. While VMT growth rates in the 1980s were in the range of 4%, they declined to 2.5% in the 1990s and around 1% in the 2000s. Since 2006, growth stopped and then reversed sharply, which could be indicative that a peak level of car mobility may have been achieved, at least in developed countries such as the United States. There are several factors that could explain the recent significant drop in the growth rate and the peak in the total annual vehicle-distance traveled. One has been steadily increasing energy prices, particularly in the first half of 2008 when a third oil shock was unfolding. Yet, as oil prices substantially declined afterwards, there were no resumption of VMT growth; they remained flat. Another factor is an unfolding recession were lower levels of economic activity are directly correlated with lower ridership. The aging of the population may also be a factor at play as well as the slow down in suburbanization. Low or negative growth levels in mobility are also related to lower consumption levels, particularly in automobile and related goods and services and a new generation less inclined to use the automobile.

CANDLE LIGHT0 Reviews
The bright white flame stands proud.
The room basks in the glow from it.
It stands tall and proud.
It carries on.
I wish I could be as bright as the flame.
I wish I has as much pride and energy.
All I can do,
Is carry on.
I wish I were the flame.
So I could light up a room,
And stand tall and proud.
Carrying on.
I wish I were the flame.
But I'm not.
I'm not the flame ,
But I will carry on.
I wrote this sitting in my room at about 2am by candle light... which is obviously where i got the title from, please R&R, it make me smile :)

These would be SO easy to make with salt dough painted white! I usually make heart salt dough pieces for my girls' valentines.. use a heart cookie cutter and poke a hole with a starbucks straw and then bake them and let the girls paint them.. SUPER easy!

8 editions published between 1993 and 2012 in English and held by 538 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Pulitzer Prize winning author Bernard Malamud's first novel is still one of the best ever written about baseball. His story of a superbly gifted "natural" at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era is invested with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work. First published in 1952, this novel has since become an American classic. Five decades later, Alfred Kazin's comment still holds true: "Malamud has done something which now that he has done it! looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball as a popular spectacle to its ordained place in mythology."

My son was thrilled when we found this slip-n-slide at our local Costco last week. He ran up to my husband practically shouting, "Daddy! Look! We gotta get this! Our old one ripped, right? Plus, its super hot out, right dad?!?" We had to laugh...he was so animated, even total strangers found it cute. We've had various slip-n-slides over the years. Our favorites have three lanes, a splash pool of some kind at the end, and inflatable "rafts" to use while sliding. This particular one is great fun, as the splash pool at the end is more substantial than some we've had. It seems more durable too. That's the one thing about this kind of toy-with all the use, they eventually rip. We generally go through 2-3 in a year (we use them from Spring through Fall). My solution is to use Duck Tape to fix them (put the tape on the bottom after it dries), but that only works so many times before it just has to be replaced. We've already used it twice and the kids are loving it. Plus, it was really reasonably priced (gotta love Costco!). I plan to pick up an extra one next week and store it away. Slip-n-slides support BODYsmart, PEOPLEsmart, and NATUREsmart. Have fun!

Kids are just like that! They want to have a lot of toys for lots reason because they will boost their confidence to do what they want and to socialize better with their playmates, it also serves as a additional bonding with family. Like my little boy, he have seen different kinds of slide and bouncers but he choose aReplyDelete

Yes, bounce houses are always a big hit with the kids, and a fun way to get the whole family playing outside!ReplyDelete

This family owned farm dates back to the 1790's, and it continues today by creatively tying the roots of the past to progressive uses of today. Maine's harsh climate is difficult for growing grapes, but by utilizing an excellent site and selecting some of the most cold tolerant varieties, Savage Oakes' vineyard has become the state's most productive. Today, the award winning winery produces fifteen wines from grapes and wild blueberries, grown right on the farm.

Stars are massive balls of hot glowing plasma held together by gravity. Our Sun is the nearest star. The stars we see in the night sky belong to the Milky Way galaxy. Stars are mainly made of hydrogen and a smaller amount of helium, and very small quantities of other elements like oxygen, carbon, neon, and nitrogen. Stars shine due to thermonuclear fusion in their core releasing energy that eventually radiates into the outer space.

No need to look through the windows for the essential meaning. One can learn it everywhere and from everyone, should they have the desire and the skill. Lao-Tsu
Amita Kundalini Rei-ki is your guide on the path of spiritual growth and self-actualization. Leave anger, sickness, loneliness, and confusion behind and let us lead you to harmony, clarity, and discovery of your true potential.
The body is an active structure of uniquely functional cells, collaborating in cohesion to produce, develop, and sustain the life of a sentient human being.
Learn to see yourself as a collection of numerous threads of consciousness. Quit saying that your arm is hurting, or your back is hurting, say "we are hurting". Each human being has the power to control their biological functions. The knowledge of self-regeneration is contained in every cell of your body. It is waiting for you to awaken it and demand rejuvenation.
If you aim to extend the time and optimize the quality of your physical life, you have to learn to feel and use the power of your body. Can you imagine the muscles of your arm or your back as enlightened as your brain? Tap into that knowledge and unite the awareness of your body with the awareness of your mind in one harmonious power.
To resist the pressures of the modern world, we try to create inside ourselves the oasis of tranquility, joy, permanence, and strength. Those are the resources that allow us to grow, move forward, gain power, set what seems like unreachable goals - and reach them.
It is the Path of Love that leads us to spiritual development and healing
It is the Path of Love
The fundamentals of this technique are found in the most ancient practices aimed at achieving a truly joyful and fulfilled life. Amita Kundalini Reiki is the path toward conscious harmony within and expanded awareness of the world of love around us.
It is the most fundamental system of healing oneself and others.
Level 1 (beginner): 2 classes, Mondays 6:30 Â 8:00 PM, and 4-hour practice including Initiation on Saturday or Sunday from 11:00 AM Â 3:00 PM

Local children will have a new opportunity to learn, create, interact and have fun this summer as City Art Works and Minden Main Street present the first Summer Art Camp for children ages 6-12.
The art camp will be taught by local artists and held at City Art Works. There will be seven one-week sessions and each session will have a different theme.
The artists that have joined to teach the sessions are Susan Matamoros, Rebecca Tyree, Bill Cook, Jessica Daigle, McKenzie Leopold and Kristen Hulse.
"Minden Main Street is excited and delighted to sponsor the first Summer Art Camp at the City Art Works downtown," said Pattie Odom, director of Minden Main Street/Downtown Development.
City Art Works was opened as the Cultural Recreation Facility for the City of Minden in the Fall of 2010. Offering art recreation programs for adults and children is the primary purpose for the program.
"The art camp will reach out to many children and offer an alternative and/or addition to sports recreation traditionally offered in the summer," said Mayor Bill Robertson, "The city is enthusiastic about this new addition to our city recreation program."
Susan Matamoros
Before entering the field of education as a paraeducator in 2005, Susan Matamoros was involved in public relations for several arts organizations in the city of Olympia, Washington. She has written for various publications, including The Olympian Newspaper's ParentWise Magazine and the Incredible Edible Munch, a dining guide published in Los Angeles.
Matamoros has a BA in Business Administration from the University of Texas. In addition to creative writing, her involvement in the arts includes acting and singing. Since relocating to her home state of Louisiana last summer she has been a substitute teacher in Webster Parish schools and is currently a member of the Minden Community Chorus and the Webster Humane Association.
"We live in a vibrant community where the arts are alive, and it's our goal to nurture the next generation of talented individuals by bringing them together with some of our area's finest artists," said Matamoros, who will be the Director of the Arts Camp. "City Art Works is the perfect space to create in, and we're fortunate to be able to conduct our classes there."
Rebecca Tyree
A unique artist, playing far outside the box, re-inventing artistic expression through a multitude of materials and best known for her chemically treated metal pieces that bounce light and have a chameleon-like effect, Rebecca Tyree is looking forward to sharing her art and enthusiasm with area children.
After spending 28 years as a well known Las Vegas artist and designer, where she has performed as a personal artist for many interesting people including celebrities and casino owners, she met her now, new husband and gave up Las Vegas for a new home in Louisiana.
Since arriving here, she has become involved in everything from interior design to unrivaled faux painting. Her artwork can be found in many places across the USA.
Bill Cook
Wanting to be in the limelight since the age of 6, Bill Cook has lived the kind of life books are written about. In fact, Cook has written books about his life.
Cook pursued his dream of becoming a dancer at the age of 19 when he took off for New York, a state he had some knowledge of thanks to visits there to see his older sister. He had scholarships, attended schools and danced in stock productions.
He later danced in Broadway and off-Broadway productions and began his trek across the nation and the world.
He wrote and published "Honeysuckle, Creosote, and Train Smoke" and "The Watermelon Man." He formed friendships with actresses, directors and other famous and interesting people. He participated in arts of all kinds and enjoyed notoriety all over the world. Then, he came home to Minden and will now embark on his next journey: teaching local children the art of song and dance.
Jessica Daigle
Minden native Jessica Daigle has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. When she was just a teen she enjoyed perfecting her technique of drawing human faces by sketching portraits of actresses and singers from magazine covers.
Now, her approach to art has leaned from the traditional techniques to embrace the non-traditional and she wants to teach that aspect to children.
Daigle is a Minden High School graduate, a Louisiana Tech graduate and a Kindergarten teacher at Central Elementary.
McKenzie Leopold
McKenzie Leopold (Becky), a native of Minden, has studied and taught art classes all over the country from New York City to San Francisco. Her experiences range from residential building contractor to jewelry designer, and now she'll be adding art teacher to her many accolades as she joins the Summer Art Camp team.
Kristen Hulse
Kristen Hulse lives in Little Rock, Arkansas where she graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She has been an elementary art specialist with the Little Rock School District for the last six years.
During her second year with LRSD, she worked on the committee to develop a curriculum guide that is now used by all elementary art teachers in the district.
She also served as a lead teacher for Professional Development of Arts Educators Grant – a federal grant which allowed for all district elementary arts educators to have appropriate professional development for teaching the arts.
Hulse currently serves on the LRSD committee for "Artistry in the Rock," a district-wide all-grade-level art show to be held at the Little Rock Statehouse Convention Center.
Hulse's parents are from Minden. She feels blessed to have spent most of her summers in Minden and is looking forward to returning this year and is excited to teach this summer.
Students will create works of art and writing that reflect this year's theme of Community. Each week students will explore a different aspect of that theme.
Below are the dates of the session, the theme of that week and the teacher who will teach the class.
Session 1 (June 6-10): Why I Love my Family - taught by Jessica Daigle and Susan Matamoros
Session 2 (June 13-17): Why I Love Louisiana – taught by Rebecca Conway and Susan Matamoros
Session 3 (June 27-July 1): Why I Love the USA - taught by Rebecca Conway and Susan Matamoros
Session 4 (July 5-8): The Person I Admire Most – taught by McKenzie Leopold and Susan Matamoros
Session 5 (July 11-15): Why I love Minden – taught by Kristen Hulse and Susan Matamoros
Session 6 (July 18-22): Telling my Story Through an Animal – taught by Kristen Hulse and Susan Matamoros
Session 7 (July 25-29): Learning German Dances and Making Costumes for Minden Fasching Karneval – taught by Bill Cook and McKenzie Leopold
Cost per session is $100, except the week of July 5-8, which will be $80. Assistance is available to a limited number of students.
There will be a meeting at City Art Works, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. to give a program overview. Interested parties are encouraged to attend.
The Minden Press-Herald will partner with the Arts Camp to publish the children's work each week.
"By publishing children's writing in the Press-Herald and showing their finished pieces at City Art Works we're teaching our students that what they create is valued and that it matters," Matamoros said.
For further information, contact Susan Matamoros at 540-2205.

Lopressor is a beta-blocker that reduces the amount of work the heart has to do and the amount of the blood the heart usually pumps out, which in turn helps with certain kinds of chest pain and stabilizes the blood pressure if it is too high, as well as the heart rhythm in cases of arythmia and tahycardia. Lopressor therapy seriously reduces the risk of death in patiens who have had a stroke or any other kind of heart attack. It is most commonly prescribed with or without in cases of high blood pressure, the necessity of long-term chest treatment, and also for other related conditions.
Not that you absolutely must not stop taking Lopressor abruptly as if you do so you might have a fit of sharp chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or even a heart attack, especially if you already have a heart disease of some type. If you are in a condition where you are ready to go off Lopressor, your doctor is to lower the dose slowly over the course of several weeks, even if you have been taking Lopressor for a simple reason like high blood pressure. Remember that you migh not even be aware that you have heart problems. During the dosage lowering stage limit your physical activity and pay very close attention to any pains or discomfort in the heart area.
If you have a chronical illness such as diabetes or overactive thyroid, inform your doctor before receiving the prescription. Lopressor can hide certain signs of your condition worsening, especially fast heartbeat. Watch out for other possible symptoms of disbalance with extreme attention.

The word Minimalism is one that quite suitably describes the design of the new Audi A3. Elegant, simple and – for many people – just plain beautiful, the new generation A3′s bodywork eschews the prevalent trend for busy body surfacing and dramatic character lines. The undeniably "politically correct" exterior design which is in stark contrast to that of its direct rival – the BMW F20/F21 1 Series - is also mated to a stunning interior, featuring not only great design but also great materials too. Presently, all of this style is offered in 3-door form only with the 5-door configuration (called Sportback) to become available later.
Today, we were lucky enough to be tipped off in our public forum with two photos of the 5-door A3. Just like the 3-door version, the design is simple and elegant, with the differences between the two versions being kept to a minimum. As far as any official announcement is concerned, Audi hasn't placed anything on record though we do expect the new A3 Sportback to appear towards the end of 2012.

answer: Depends!
Living near Oakland, I hear many a rap about jail. A few country tunes as well.
Hey! What are the chances that we'd be wearing the same underwear today? I've got to remember to call ahead if we're ever going to be in the same room together. That could be embarrassing.

Vmware Virtual Machine Wizard watch out for this
Hi there
some people might be tempted to try out W8 on a Virtual Machine --why not --always a good idea to see if you like a new OS or it delivers what you want.
In VMware you can do this very simply with "Create Virtual Machine Wizard". You'll get asked for the Windows serial number and whether you want to "automatically be logged on" plus it will default most of the hardware for the chosen OS . --That's fine. It will also ask if you want to use an ISO image or a physical device -- also fine.
Now the problem comes in "regionalisation" since the wizard will take the default settings which depends on where you downloaded the ISO from and the base language.
Unlike the case of "Install OS later" (Manually) where the Ms install screen prompts you also for a few of these things like language / time zone etc. it will default -- so if you say want UK keyboard and English (UK) it will probably default to US. You have to actually do a Language pack download (approx. 100Mb) and install English (UK) as a separate language - so if you want anything other than the default don't use the Create VM wizard.
What I tend to do is start of with the Create VM Wizard to see what most of the vm configuration settings are like recommended size of virtual disks etc and then switch to manual mode using some of the settings I have noted from the wizard.
If you are using a non English type keyboard it can be quite awkward to fiddle around after the VM is installed where a load of Your keys are different from the std US one's. !!
Just a little warning - hope this saves you time and an unnecessary download and install.

So there's this sand sculpture competition in Hampton every year. They import 300 tons of sand and invite "Master Sand Sculptors" to work their magic. This was the first year I'd been to the competition. I have to admit, as much as I love coastal New England, Hampton Beach is a bit like the Reno of New Hampshire. Not my favorite place in the world, but the sculptures were very cool.
"Life in the Fishbowl" – I really liked this one.
"Picture Come to Life"
"A Strong Thread" – dedicated to Betsy Ross
"Fish Out Of Water" – by far my favorite
And there were fireworks!

Social Robots, SXSW, and the future
Almost two and a half years ago, before Ashton and CNN, I embarked on a challenge to see if Social Robots could infiltrate online communities. Zack Coburn and I launched a small armada of fully autonomous Twitter bots against clusters of users who already knew each other. A project in Mark Chang's course at Olin College, we called it Project Realboy after Gepetto's puppet Pinocchio. Each bot, acting completely without human intervention, tried to sneak in to a group by camouflaging itself with forged tweets.
The project was overwhelming successful at creating emotional connections between the target users and bots. One bot, @trackgirl, was deployed against a group of running enthusiasts. Every day, completely on "her" own, trackgirl tweeted about her marathon training. The runners she followed followed her back, and she wove her way into the community. One day trackgirl tweeted that she had fallen and hurt her knee. Her followers immediately replied with concern, asking if she was ok.
Luckily, trackgirl was a Python script running on a server we got from eBay, impervious to scraped knees. However, the lessons that Realboys like trackgirl and our dozens of other bots teach us have a worrying theme: social media can be manipulated at scale by a few puppetmasters.
Twitter has proven to be an invaluable tool for communication during breaking news intense periods of political unrest. When thousands of people tweet, the outside world gets a chance to understand events on the ground. But what if none of those thousands of people were real, and the events never happened? A malicious puppetmaster could create hundreds of Twitter bots, letting them live perfectly normal and believable lives for months while they build up followers. Then one day, a careful crafted false story unfolds on the stage of social media, played out by a single director with hundreds of actors. Incidents like the attack on Congresswoman Giffords demonstrate that powerful stories can become widespread before there is time for fact checking. Before anyone realizes all the TwitPics are faked, the false news will have made international headlines.
Social Robots challenge our preconceived notions of what social media can be used for. They present a dangerous threat to the news industry, but also a powerful opportunity to help people. If you're going to be at SXSW, come learn more about how Social Robots work, what they're capable of, and where they might go next.

Under the aegis of the United Nations Secretary-General's UNiTE to End Violence against Women and Girls Campaign, the United Nations System Team for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean joined the global call for the safe return of the 200 girls who were abducted from their school in Chibok, Borno State, in Nigeria.
Launches Beijing+20 Campaign:
Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity: Picture it!
(22 May, New York) UN Women today launched a major campaign in the lead-up to the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the historic Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. A year of activities around the world will aim to mobilize governments and citizens alike to picture a world where gender equality is a reality and to join a global conversation on empowering women to empower humanity.
Events will focus on achievements and gaps in gender equality and women's empowerment since 189 governments adopted the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. This visionary blueprint paves the way for women's full and equal participation in all spheres of life and decision-making.
A joint op-ed by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women, and Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director of the UN Population Fund.
Today more than 200 school girls will wake up to another day in an unthinkable nightmare. Three weeks ago, they were seized in the night by armed men dressed as soldiers who said they were there to protect them. In reality, the men were militant extremists who kidnapped them and set their boarding school on fire. The girls' whereabouts continue to be unknown.
This happened in Chibok, a town in north-eastern Nigeria. Imagine if it had taken place in your community.
This horrific act offends our common humanity and demands global outrage and action. We have a responsibility to rally behind the parents, people and Government of Nigeria and bring the girls back home to safety.
Press Release
Despite notable efforts by authorities, service providers and academia to record and track the incidence of gender-based violence (GBV) in the Caribbean, lack of comprehensive, systematic, nationally-owned data remains a serious bottleneck in responding to and preventing GBV, including its most prevalent form – that of violence against women. Subsequently, Caribbean Governments and Non-Governmental Organisations have requested the UN's support in strengthening data collection so as to guide and sustain a robust national response to GBV.
Statement by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka on the outcome of the 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women
(New York) UN Women welcomes the outcome of the 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. The agreement represents a milestone toward a transformative global development agenda that puts the empowerment of women and girls at its centre. Member States have stressed that while the Millennium Development Goals have advanced progress in many areas, they remain unfinished business as long as gender inequality persists.
The Women in Politics Map 2014 launched by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and UN Women shows that while progress on women's political participation continues to be largely positive across the world, glass ceilings remain firmly in place for women at the highest levels.
Bridgetown, Barbados: March 12, 2014 - The Map, which presents the latest data on women in executive government and in parliament, reveals similar regional trends in women's representation in both spheres with the Americas, Europe and Africa outperforming the Arab, Asia and Pacific regions.
Grenada's jump from two to five women (33.3%) members of parliament in the lower house after the 2013 general elections, saw that country move past the minimum target of 30% of seats being held by women. Guyana is the only other country in the English speaking Caribbean that has attained the above 30 per cent ratio and the only country in the Caribbean to have adopted a temporary special measure to increase women's political participation.
Message for International Women's Day 2014
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka
United Nations Under-Secretary-General and
Executive Director of UN Women
Today we join the people of the world in celebration of the progress made for women's rights, women's empowerment and gender equality. We also acknowledge that progress has been slow, uneven and in some cases women and girls face new and more complex challenges.
International Women's Day is therefore also a day to recommit ourselves to working harder for gender equality, together as women, men, youth, and leaders of nations, communities, religion and commerce.
The 58th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women will be held from March 10-21 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on the priority theme: Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the MDGs for women and girls.
Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation. It is violence against families, communities, nations and humanity. It is a threat to international peace and security, as recognized by the UN Security Council. It has reached a crisis point and demands action from all of us, young and old, women and men.
Today on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and every day, we must stand up, speak out and be part of creating solutions to end these human rights violations.
As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) framework comes to a close in 2015, the Caribbean Region is advocating for a comprehensive and transformative Post 2015 and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) development agenda.
The goal of advocacy efforts will be to ensure that Caribbean specific priorities for the achievement of gender equality and women's empowerment are advanced. The emerging global development frameworks must address the structural foundations of gender-based inequality, including the recognition that inequalities are a consequence of the unequal relations of power.
We are therefore asking that the global Post 2015 and SIDS frameworks take into consideration the social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities of SIDS, and the resulting challenges for sustainable, human rights-based and gender responsive development.
Bridgetown, Barbados – 24 August 2013: As global discussions intensify around creating a new global development agreement, Caribbean government and non-governmental representatives supporting gender equality have together agreed on forward-looking Caribbean-specific priorities that they will advocate for in the coming two years of discussions within the UN General Assembly and beyond.
Under the UN Women-supported Caribbean Forum on Gender Equality and the Post 2015 Agenda held 22-23August, delegates generated a Joint Statement, for ensuring gender equality and Caribbean priorities for development will be front and centre in the global discussions around the completion of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agreement in 2015 and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) agenda.
Statement by Lakshmi Puri, Acting Head of UN Women and Assistant Secretary-General, on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, 9 August 2013.
9 August 2013 - On the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, UN Women calls for the promotion and protection of the human rights of indigenous women and girls. Despite indigenous peoples' extensive contributions to society, their communities continue to be among the most marginalized and discriminated against in the world. Indigenous women across their lifetime, including girls, adolescents and widows, face multiple layers of violence, discrimination and inequality that must be addressed in a more robust, inclusive and comprehensive manner.

If you fear parallel parking, you are in good company. Technology available in the 2010 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT can remove that anxiety by managing this challenging chore for you. Not only does Active Park Assist perform the difficult parallel parking maneuver; it will also help you find a parking space large enough for your vehicle to fit in.
Active Park Assist – How it Works
The push of a single button activates Active Park Assist, and the system begins scanning for an appropriate parking spot. When a suitable space is detected, an audible signal will sound and the cluster-mounted message center will display a space found notification.
Active Park Assist will coach the driver with a prompt when to stop, shift to Reverse and let the system take over. The system will not select an inappropriately sized space. It will calculate the appropriate trajectory, regardless of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle parked in the space just ahead. All steering is performed by the system, so the driver only needs to brake and shift. Active Park Assist also properly positions your vehicle relative to the curb.
If the vehicle is not positioned properly in the space, the system will continue to coach the driver for proper placement. The driver will shift and brake normally, but the system steers the vehicle throughout the maneuver.
Active Park Assist is enabled by Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) which is standard on 2010 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoostTM V6.
Active Park Assist is optional on the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6-equipped Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT, on sale late this summer.
