On the chic streets of Paris, a woman wearing a purple cardigan zooms by on a chunky, mocha-grey bicycle. The woman fades from mind, but the retro bike lingers on as a memory with its decidedly unique styling. Strangely, an older gentleman with a bouquet of flowers tucked into his bag now rides by on a bike that looks just like the last one. And now, yet another man is walking the exact same bike down the street too. Coincidence, or something more?
Photo via AustinEvan's Flickr Photostream
It turns out that many a visitor to the City of Lights has experienced a similar scene unfolding in front of them with the final realization that these Parisians are not riding their own bikes, but ones that they share with the whole city via the largest system of its kind in the world. The Vélib' system, as it is called, is so simple that even non-Parisians can try it out. Just walk up to a bike station, purchase a one day pass for about €1, and hop on your new set of wheels. Then, when you're done exploring the city, return the bike to any open spot at any station in the city.
Seems logical, doesn't it? It's rather common for first time encounters with setups like Vélib' in Paris, SmartBike in Washington DC, or BIXI in Montreal to yield wide-eyed "Why doesn't my city do this?" reactions. As busy people with places to go and things to do, we all need easy, affordable and accessible transportation. And living at a time when environmental awareness is more and more the norm rather than the exception, reduced emissions and earth-friendliness are becoming increasingly major factors in the way we select how we get around. In theory, bike sharing checks off all of the criteria on that list with a bold confidence. But does it measure up in real life?
There are some issues. Numerous media outlets have reported about Vélib''s theft and vandalism woes. Bikes have been mangled, hung from trees and even tossed into the Seine. There are complaints from motorists in the area that cyclists who use the bike-sharing program tend to be inexperienced riders and do not follow the traffic rules. Upkeep of the infrastructure (think 20,000 bicycles and 1,450 stations with roughly one station every 300 meters throughout the city center) is yet another headache to deal with. From the sharer's point of view, the most common frustration is riding to a station hoping to park their bike there and finding no open spots – imagine you're running late for an appointment?
Luckily, the kinks in early operations like Vélib' served as red-flag indicators for future iterations. Boston, which is currently planning its very own version with the help of the Public Bike System Company, which oversees Montreal's BIXI system and was also chosen to work on London's upcoming program, has studied up on the downfalls of earlier operations. Some of the solutions include a stolen-bike alert system using online social media networks and a web service that allows users to see how many bikes and parking spots are available at any given station ahead of time. The fact that PBSC's bike stations are portable, modular and solar-powered also alleviates much of the heartache that comes with the maintenance issues.
Overall, public bike sharing systems have come an extremely long way and the positives (easy, cheap, clean transportation) eclipse the negatives. From an environmental and economic standpoint, bike sharing rids people of an excuse to drive their gas-guzzling cars – why would you drive when you could save money on gas and not have to deal with the hassle of finding parking? From a societal perspective, our adoption of bike sharing systems says a lot about us as human beings. If we can share our bikes, maybe we can learn to share other things successfully as well.

The Mayor of Paris is about to launch Voiturelib, after the self-service bikes, the self-service electric cars and I think it's a great idea despite vandalism problem for try to minimize congestion and pollution.

"There are 20 000 Vélib bike in Paris. Last year 7200 have been stolen…"
Very strange : you can find a lot of Vélib bikes in other countries of europe… I guess that some people do business with.

Surprising to note information on Vandalism in European countries like Paris. People in the developing countries always believe that the last thing to happen in any of the European coutry / City, is vandalism. Looks like human is human, whether in developing country or developed country. Meanwhile, similar but different, system is being implemented in Mumbai, city in India. Please check http://www.fremo.in and http://www.ecomovesolutions.com.

Berlin has a bike sharing system in which the user may return the bike by just leaving it anywhere in the city. The user then phones in saying where he left the bike. Quite interesting

Yes, vandalism is the main problem of the Velib system. We also have issues with flat tires, broken forks and so on. Some people say the Vélib bike is way too heavy, and i think it's ok if you don't plan to ride for hours.
I don't know if vandalism and disrespect is something typical of french people but it's so annoying and frustrating.
There are 20 000 Vélib bike in Paris. Last year 7200 have been stolen and 11 600 have suffered vandalism. That's incredible.

Why it happensYou put your toddler to bed at 8.30pm. You hug her and kiss her and wish her sweet dreams. It's been a long day. The washing up awaits you, your partner has paperwork to clear, the dog needs a walk, the cat needs feeding, and you haven't had a moment to sit down and put your feet up. But no - instead of spending the rest of the night catching up on your chores and spending some precious time with your partner, you're in and out of your child's room, cajoling her to go to sleep. She finally does - three hours later. Sound familiar? You'd be surprised at just how many of your fellow parents face this scenario night after night.
Sometimes you can tell that your toddler's fighting sleep - she rubs her eyes, yawns repeatedly, and falls apart at the merest hint of frustration. At other times she may seem wide awake, even hyper, but this can be another form of exhaustion.
What's happening is a toddler version of "so much to do, so little time"; there's so much going on around her - she just wants to be part of the action. Also, like other toddlers, your child is beginning to understand that she's separate from you and is her own person, so she wants to assert her independence. Refusing to go to bed at night is one way of doing that.
What to do
- Teach your child to fall asleep alone. If your child only deigns to go to bed if you're around, she's getting into bad habits that are hard to break now, but will be even harder to break later. The best lesson you can teach her is how to soothe herself to sleep. Follow a nightly bedtime routine (bath, books and bed, for example) so she knows what's expected of her and what to expect at night. You can tell her that if she stays in bed you will come back in five minutes to check on her. Let her know that she's safe and that you'll be nearby.
- Don't let her dawdle. Toddlers are great negotiators, and they're no different when it comes to bedtime. And because they enjoy the time they spend with you, they will do whatever they can to prolong that period. Your child may take her time doing her usual nightly routine, ask repeatedly for a drink of water, or keep requesting that you come to her room because she needs something. If you suspect she's stalling, don't let her. Tell her it's time for bed and that she can finish her drawing or find the stuffed bunny tomorrow.
You may want to anticipate all of your child's usual (and reasonable) requests and make them part of the bedtime routine. Give her a beaker of water before bed and let her put it on her bedside table, remind her to use the potty one more time, and give her lots of extra hugs to last her the whole night. Then allow your child one extra request - but make it clear that one is really the limit. She'll feel as if she's getting her way, but you'll know you're really getting yours.
- Offer her acceptable choices at bedtime. These days your toddler is beginning to test the limits of her new-found independence. To help her feel empowered, let your child make choices whenever possible at bedtime, from which story she wants to hear, to which set of pyjamas she'd like to wear. The trick is to offer only two or three alternatives and to make sure you're happy with every choice. For example, don't ask, 'Do you want to go to bed now?' She could very well say no, which isn't acceptable. Instead, try, 'Do you want to go to bed now or in five minutes?'. She still gets to make the choice, but you win no matter which option she picks.
- Be calm, but firm. Stand your ground even if your child cries or pleads for an exception to the going-to-bed rule. If you're frustrated, try not to engage in a power struggle. Speak calmly and quietly, but insist that when time's up, time's up. If you give in to her request for 'five minutes more, please' once, you'll hear it again and again. If she throws a fit, ignore it as you do other tantrums. By paying attention to her - even if you're displeased with her - you've reinforced her behaviour.
- Move her into a bed. Between the ages of two and four, your child has probably outgrown her cot and is ready to give it up. Moving from her cot to a bed signals to her that she's growing up, and you can tell her that part of getting older is learning how to go to bed when she needs to rest. Once she's using her new bed, be sure to praise your child when she stays in it at bedtime and overnight. After the confinement of her cot, your child may get out of her bed over and over again, just because she can. Simply take her back to bed, firmly tell her that it's time to go to sleep, and leave.
Although establishing good sleep habits takes time and patience, the extra effort taken now will save many battles in the future.

Praise for Cumbrian coach driver who saved woman's life
Last updated at 00:03, Friday, 23 March 2012
A coach driver has been hailed a hero for the second time after saving a passenger's life.
Phil Forster had to revive a woman after she suffered an epileptic fit on his bus and stopped breathing.
The qualified first aider, from Corby Hill, near Carlisle, pulled over and started CPR on 19-year-old Nicolle Marshall as she turned blue.
As the 48-year-old did that, his bus driver wife May, also on-board as his co-driver, took the wheel and steered the coach to meet an ambulance.
Phil's quick response has been credited with saving laundry worker Nicolle's life.
Remarkably, it is the second time that the driver for Wigton-based Reays, who is also an emergency transport attendant for St John Ambulance, has saved a life. Just five months ago, he saved 18-month-old Carlisle girl Jessica Howard, who stopped breathing after choking on a grape in the cafe of Asda's Kingstown supermarket. Her grateful mum, Katie, said: "God provided Phil at the right time."
And he was once again there when needed while driving Dumfries-based ice hockey team the Solway Sharks and some fans along the A66 near Scotch Corner to a fixture in Sheffield.
Phil, who has been driving coaches for 12 years and a member of St John Ambulance for about five, told The Cumberland News: "I was driving and May was in the cruiser seat.
"One of Nicolle's friends was wandering up and down on her phone and was crying. May asked what the matter was. She said her friend had stopped breathing.
"I pulled into the side of the road. I went down the bus. She had turned blue and stopped breathing. Her friend said she'd had an epileptic fit.
"I tilted her head back and, after a couple of chest compressions, she coughed and started breathing again. It was then a case of keeping her head tilted back so she had a clear airway.
"One of the others from the team had phoned from an ambulance. I said to May that it would be quicker for us to go to Scotch Corner, because we were just eight miles away, than an ambulance coming down. May set off driving and I stayed with Nicolle, keeping her calm. We were at Scotch Corner before the ambulance."
Paramedics decided to take ice hockey fan Nicolle to Northallerton Hospital.
Now fully recovered, she met Phil and May again for the first time on Saturday – when she travelled away with the Solway Sharks to watch their victory over Bradford Bulls.
The hero driver was behind the wheel and she met him for the first time since suffering her fit.
She thanked them for all they did.
Recalling her ordeal last month, Nicolle, of Nithside, Dumfries, said: "I'm not really sure what happened. People have told me, but I can't remember anything about the coach trip."
Solway Sharks chiefs are so grateful for the actions of Phil and May that they have written to his bosses at Reays, commending all they did.
Secretary David Morrison, who was sitting just two seats down from Nicolle on the coach, said: "Phil's fast actions were quite amazing. What he did on the day was incredible.
"I have nothing but the greatest admiration for what he did, and for May as well. The two of them were superb.
"I have no doubt that Phil saved the girl's life."
Phil says he was pleased to again be in the right place at the right time and believes his experiences have highlighted the need for as many people as possible to learn first aid skills.
On his own actions, he added: "It's all down to the training I have had from St John Ambulance."

Have your say
Well done Phil!Time to acknowledge by way of an award the remarkable actions of this man.Phil you are a true local hero!I hope ASDA are planning some kind of an award for you?
Once again, Phil was in the right place, at the right time. Thanks to the selfless actions of himself and his wife, May, they undoubtedly saved Nicolle's life.

Chocolate Fondue With Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice
Page 2: Start The Party Planning
This is Page 2 of a three-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
Step 1: Get The Dishes ~ Cups or Bowls
Regular tableware like espresso cups or demitasse, saké cups, even egg cups, can do double duty to hold hot melted chocolate. This espresso cup, from Bodum's Pavina line, is made of double-walled glass that both insulates, helping the chocolate stay warm longer; and prevents heat marks and moisture condensation from marring your tabletop.
Set up lazy susans within reach of all guests. For a foursome at a small table, you can just line up the mix-ins in dishes within reach of all.
You'll also need spice dishes and demitasse or other small spoons to scoop up the mix-ins from the communal dishes prior to mixing.
You'll need very small bowls for the communal mix-in containers for the Spice Melt because spices are expensive and only 1/4 teaspoon is needed in any particular mix. Larger bowls will do for the Traditional Melt. The small cups of chocolate will need less than 1/8 teaspoon of the mix-in, and most people will want to proceed with caution.
Soy sauce dishes work well for the spices: if you don't yet have a set, they can be used for Asian cuisine, condiments for any occasion, and even as tea bag holders. The saucers from demitasse and espresso cups can be used in a pinch, although spices can spill over the edges.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"Have used New Balance 823, 1123 and now 1540 for years to walk daily. The heel padding in all the shoes will eventually wear but the 1540 begins falling apart within a month of use. I then go through a series of adhesive padding and mole skin to doctor the shoe through it's life. This didn't happen in the earlier models for 3-4 months of walking. I have changed the laces to different eyelets but is still wears prematurely. I like the comfort of the shoe and won't change due to that but it seems the quality in the heel padding area took a hit when you moved from the 1123 to the 1540."

"I ran in the original 1540 for years. It was my favorite shoe. I waited for over a year for this update. it looks great, but runs tight and has no where near the amount of cushion as the original 1540. It would have been nice if NB could update the looks of the first 1540, but keep everything else the same.."

"I have an easy suggestion, all the past reviews on the 1122 and 1123 are outstanding, good fit, excellent quality etc., most of the reviews on the replacements 1540 and 1540v2 are not that good, poor sizing, threads pull out etc, this makes me look for other shoes, and I have been a New Balance loyal customer for years,. East suggestion, bring the old molds of the 1122/1123 out of mothballs and remake them. any management who disagrees get fired. You had a great product, if it is not broke don't fix it"

ORLEANS–The Lake Region Rangers hosted North Country, Lyndon, Hazen, Stowe and Peoples for their annual cross country relay races.
For the full story, see the Express on 10-15-14.
NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons were hoping for better results when they squared off against Division II Harwood on Monday.
The white and maroon would score the opening goal, but the Highlanders came back to tie the game before the break and eventually scored the game winner mid-way through the second to pick up the 2-1 victory.
"This is a game we should have won," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We had chances galore to put the ball in the net, but we could not finish and that cost us. We will have to have a better effort if we want to compete against Rice and U-32 later this week."
NEWPORT–It was a rough Friday of football for the North Country Falcons, as they lost a one-sided contest to the St, Johnsbury Hilltoppers 59-18 under the lights at Veterans Field.
"We started out playing our game and I think we surprised them a little bit," said NCU coach Tim Simoneau. "We are coming across some pretty serious adversity this week with our injuries. I am not making excuses, but it is what it is."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NCU 2, Lyndon 0
LYNDON CENTER–The North Country Falcons continued their dominance over Caledonia Country-based teams on Saturday, as they came out ready to play from the get-go and picked up a win against the Vikings.
"We were strong from the opening seconds of the game right until the very end," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We got the start that we have been looking for these past few games and dominated the whole way. It was a fantastic game to watch."
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Lady Chargers were able to push their win streak to four on Thursday afternoon, as they snuck past the Winooski Lady Spartans by a 2-0 margin.
Craftsbury coach Casey McGill on how the team has kept up their winning ways, "The main thing I've been telling the girls is to move up the field as a unit, and us starting to fill those gaps is what has helped us play well consistently."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-13-14.
NEWPORT–With the skies opening up and raining falling down on the field, North Country forward Morgan Greene scored with 3:13 left in the first overtime session to give the Falcons a huge 2-1 win over the St. Johnsbury Hilltoppers on Thursday afternoon.
"This was amazing and you can quote me on that," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "The girls did not want to give anything up. This is their home and they wanted to win."
For the full story, see the Express on 10-10-14.
Staff Reports
NEWPORT–Tuesday was a tough night to be a North Country soccer fan.
The Falcons welcomed in Mount Mansfield for an under the lights doubleheader of Division I soccer action, but despite their best laid plans, things did not go the home team's way.
First up was the NCU girls, and prior to the game the Falcons' seniors, Brooke Breault, Kathryn Daigle, Madeline Ferorelli, Emilie Paul and Mykayla Tanguay, were honored for their time with the team.
CABOT-An intense showdown took place when the Craftsbury Chargers were hosted by the Cabot Huskies in a division IV soccer match.
The Charger dominated early, but would falter down the stretch, allowing 4 goals in the second half en route to a disappointing 4-3 loss.
Early on in the match it became evident that the game would be a tight one, as teams exchanged shots and possession at an even rate.
NEWPORT–After a shaky start to their contest against the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds, the North Country Falcon field hockey team ramped up their game in the second half, scoring four unanswered goals to come away with a 4-1 win to improve to 7-1 on the year.
"In the first half we progressively got better, but that didn't happen until the second time-out, but we played flat," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "I told them that they had to come out and play hard in the second half because we knew (MVU) was coming for blood."
THETFORD-You know you've built something special when just about every kid who raced for NC cross country at Woods Trail on Sat. had at least one family member attend the XC meet in the pouring down rain with over 3 hours of round trip driving time.
It goes further since a number of the families stayed around longer just to see Samuel Brunnette pick up his 3rd place plaque. Through our trials of miles, we have built a lasting bond.

We've discussed what to wear, and your look has already reeled him in. Now you've got to take it to the next step and wow him. Try any of these 20 makeup and hair tricks—we're sure he'll be planning date two at the very first glimpse of you.SEE MORE
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Add a Hint of Glint to Your Eye MakeupFor those of you who live by the less-is-more creed, take a cue from Jessica Biel and subtly direct his attention to your gorgeous gaze by highlighting the inner corners of your eyes with a shimmery champagne color.
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Sultry Smoky EyesA full-on inky smoky eye may come across a bit too strong, but swapping the black for a gray hue dials down the drama while still drawing him in. Mila Kunis' variation is pretty yet pensive; play up your eyes by enveloping them in a sooty gunmetal shadow.
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Make Your Eyes PopFancy yourself a fan of color? Don't put your eyeshadow on your eyelids. Instead, use it to thickly line the inner lower corners of your eyes with a violet-blue shade, like Kelly Rowland did. (Be sure to smudge it a bit so it doesn't look so harsh.)
Date-Night Hair Idea: Over-the-Shoulder HairTwo reasons to toss your tumbling hair over one shoulder like Lucy Hale: 1) You can tastefully show off a little skin—your clavicle, shoulder, or décolletage—and 2) You can shyly show him exactly what you're working with.
Date-Night Makeup Idea: a Popping Pink PoutIf your lips are your best feature, here's a fun way to step outside the red lipstick comfort zone—work a fierce fuchsia lip instead. Follow actress Ginnifer Goodwin's lead by keeping the rest of your makeup clean and simple to strike the right balance.
Date-Night Makeup and Hair Idea: Go Old-SchoolWant to stop him dead in his tracks? Pull out all the stops and work the tried-and-true old-Hollywood look, à la Blake Lively. Wavy hair, matte red lipstick, lush lashes, and glowing skin? Such a hot look 80 years ago—and still sizzling today.
Date-Night Hair Idea: a Bun With a BumpGrab a teasing comb or brush and give your simple bun a bit of a boost with a lightly teased, pompadour-esque 'do like Zoe Saldana's, taking care to leave a few playful tendrils loose around the hairline. (He may be a let-me-play-with-your-hair kind of guy.)
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Highlight Your Best AssetsKate Beckinsale should be named the poster girl for flawlessly highlighted skin. This soft opalescent light reflected all over her face (but not in a greasy way!) is absolutely gorgeous. Follow suit and highlight your forehead, chin, cheeks, and temples, too.
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Lash OutWe don't know many men who can resist the feminine charms of a woman batting and fluttering her long Jennifer Lopez-like lashes in his direction. Just make sure your pair stays in tip-top condition throughout the evening—i.e., long and defined with a waterproof (and sweat-proof) mascara.
Date-Night Hair Idea: Play It StraightHair that's brushed smooth with every strand in its place is pretty to look at and easy to play with. Translation: Get a blowout so you can casually run your (or his!) fingers through your hair like Ashley Greene.
Date-Night Hair Idea: Go TousledOn the other hand, some guys like to know exactly what they're getting, so if a (purposely) messy, wispy chignon like Doutzen Kroes' is right up your alley, go for it. It'll come across as laid-back and easy-going—two qualities men love (or so we've heard!).
Date-Night Makeup and Hair Idea: Lacquered UpShort on time? Not to worry—just blame it on your serious, mysterious side and go for severely sexy with a bold lip and slicked-back lacquered hair, like the picture-perfect Rooney Mara.
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Go Matchy-MatchyKeep your look simple and within the same color family by smudging the same pink shade on your lips and cheeks, much like Rachel Bilson, whose rosy apples and matching glossy smile make for one girlie-gorgeous look.
Date-Night Hair Idea: the Pony TaleSupermodel Gisele Bündchen's dual-textured ponytail straddles the invisible line between simple and sexy. To get the look, dampen your hair and brush it into a high ponytail position, right on top of the crown. Wrap and pin the entire ponytail around the base, allowing it to air-dry for 45 minutes. Once released, stunning waves come tumbling down.
Date-Night Hair Idea: Beautiful Braids + Bun ComboWant to get your hair out of your face and off your neck? For inspiration, check out Freida Pinto's communal braided updo/bun—it comes across easy and effortless, even if it does take a teeny bit of practice to master.
Date-Night Hair Idea: an Off-to-the-Side French BraidSpeaking of braids, Nicole Richie's over-the-shoulder French braid is always a winner. Guys see this hairstyle as cute and low-maintenance—and so do we girls who love rocking this look. Win-win on both ends!
Date-Night Makeup Idea: Shiny and NudeFor a pared-down, pretty look, slick on a shiny flesh-tone lip-gloss like Kim Kardashian's. Her glossy nude kisser draws attention to her lips without it feeling obvious and overpowering.
Date-Night Makeup Look: Naturally GorgeousWith amazing skin like Gabrielle Union's, minimal makeup is required. For this naturally gorgeous look, rely on mattifying foundation, nude lip gloss, volumizing mascara, and rose-color blush. Done and done!
Date-Night Makeup Look: Bathe in BronzerOK, OK, maybe don't actually bathe in it, but definitely massage bronzing oil into every inch of your skin—from head to toe—to glisten like Kerry Washington. It's a simple yet standout way to be absolutely irresistible.
Date-Night Hair Look: Over One EyePlay coyly sexy and wear your hair in your face and over one eye like Rihanna. Hey, it worked for Veronica Lake—in fact, she built a whole career on it!

Garza arbitration hearing set for Friday
Matt Garza's arbitration hearing is set for Friday. The Cubs offered $7.5m and Garza asked for $12.95m. We haven't heard any rumblings about a settlement, but that doesn't mean much given the Cubs reporters' access to this front office. No word from ace Cubs reporter Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe either.

As fans of flatpak construction, we are intrigued by the new Itbed design from It Design. Made from folded 7mm thick cardboard, the accordion folded cardboard bedframe is easy to collapse and store away, making it a perfect guest-bed for unexpected visitors. While we are a little suspicious that this design really is as simple as it looks – i.e. merely a stack of folded cardboard – we have to hand it to It Design for trying to market this simple space-saving take on the fold-away bed.
Honestly however, instead of going to this much trouble – I would probably just put the mattress on the floor.
Created by two architects, Valérie Jomini and Stanislas Zimmermann, It is based in Switzerland and continues to produce �compact and flexible furniture for young and mobile urbanites since 1997.
It's showroom, a mobile transparent living unit, has popped up in several different locations. Reflecting the philosophy of It design; compact, light, and mobile, the mobile transparent living unit represents minimal living including It's two main products, Itbed and Itbox.

It is a folded cardboard! How long will it last?! I rather buy a simple wooden bed frame from my neighbourhood furniture shop, for a quarter of that price! With $500, i can buy 5 good quality sleeping bags! Honestly, it looks cool but just a novelty idea/item.
June 12, 2006 at 6:20 pm
I agree that sleeping on the floor past the age of 30 is something that is not altogether desirable. However, why on earth is a large piece of folded cardboard costing $500?
June 9, 2006 at 3:50 pm
Okay, I know you folks are committed to edginess but this is going to be a Word Police moment:
I am given pause every time I read "ghetto"-hyphen-fill in the blank. I am old enough to not be
able to read it without connoting a whiff of something condescending and back-handedly racist.
Maybe there's another cool/edgy word that might suffice and not risk pissing off devoted readers
like myself.
June 9, 2006 at 1:06 am
There is something vaguely uncomfortable about sleeping at floor level. I think it has something to do with being more vulnerable while sleeping. Even a modest rise like this would give the sleeper a greater sense of comfort.
June 8, 2006 at 9:30 pm
Yes, you would have to be a young urbanite to either use or afford this thing. I rememeber seeing it on some other site and the thing retails for something like $500. Granted one of those aerobeds with a built-in stand wouldn't be as environmentally friendly, but it would take up less space when stored, save money and be supremely more comfortable. This is just a cardboard futon. Can anyone over thirty use this for one night without waking up with aches and pains? I'm just tired of this being shown off like something new and great when it just doesn't make any sense.

This conversation is closed.
What should be the focus of human progress and achievement?
I study Media and Communication studies and am fascinated by how the new age of advertisements and consumerism have affected human beings. That being said, should we allow ourselves to live in the fake worlds we create or should we be spending more time and energy on advancing our species?
Please share your thoughts, I have thought about this for a very long time and find any opinion interesting and informative.
Lejan .
Oct 16 2013: '... should we allow ourselves to live in the fake worlds we create or should we be spending more time and energy on advancing our species?'
- +2
Well, isn't this question already a questionable result of these 'fake worlds'?
Isn't this question in itself self-explanatory?
To me it is.Oct 16 2013: Michael,
Based on several other conversations similar to this one....meaning of life.....purpose of humans.....etc., it appears that you could get a different answer from everyone who participates in the conversation!
Based on the fact that some people will not even interact with other people because of race, religious and cultural practices and beliefs, sexual preference, etc., it seems unlikely that there will be a collective agreement regarding "focus of human progress and achievement".
Perhaps the way we live (whether fake, in your perception or not) is already contributing to the advancement of our species?
My personal goal/focus, is to learn, grow and evolve as an individual, while contributing to the whole.
Oct 17 2013: Colleen,
We have very similar personal goals. Human beings are the most interesting thing to study, in my opinion.
The things we have the ability to do, both good and bad, is awe-inspiring.
I just worry that the story of "us" will have a hollow ending.
Ultimately, our potential is determined by us and only us. I worry we will get so wrapped up in things that don't matter that we will miss out on the things that do.
Oct 18 2013: I agree Michael.....I have always been intrigued by human behaviors as well.....mine included!!!
My curiosity about life and the human life adventure has inspired exploration of the many mind/body possibilities. I agree....our potential is determined by us, and how we contribute as individuals, interacting with the whole is important.
The challenge with "worrying" about that which matters, and that which does not matter, is that as humans, probably different things will be more.....or less.....important to each one of us? That is why I believe it is difficult to discover, explore or name a collective "focus of human progress and achievement?"Oct 16 2013: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." - Dalai Lama
It is hard to argue with the Dalai Lama's logic. I have done it without success.
It is like arguing with Einstein about imaginary universes and un-provable mathematics, it makes for wonderful fantasies but Einstein felt we have enough problems living in the imaginary world most of us are already living in.
Michael Lau
Oct 16 2013: I think we can both agree that having the Dalai Lama's brain for even a day would be an unparallelled experience.Oct 20 2013: The focus of human progress and achievement should be "unity". By unity I don't just mean brotherhood and harmoniously living side by side. The very structures of the society and it's functioning needs to transform in order to reflect this unity. The principle of unity must be reflected in our relationship with every member of the planet, relationship between individuals and institutions, between institutions in the whole world, between us and our environment. We often hear people saying that we are all members of one human family but do our structures reflect that unity? Does the way we live reflect that belief? Do all the members of the family have access to knowledge so that they can all participate in making this world a better place? Do the resources belong to the country that is found in it or does it belong to the world? Why should a country face famine while there is enough food in the world? Is it just that the policies of a country should make a few very rich while others struggle for subsistence? Is that how live in our family? I think these and many questions like these must guide the direction of progress and achievement.Oct 18 2013: Reproduce and make sure you teach your kids to be good selfless and hunger for knowledge and that they have kids andv do the same. Long term goals for humanity. ........Oct 16 2013: I'm not sure what you have in mind for "advancing our species", but I think cultures evolve and advance naturally. Ideas are like genes. Ones that meet our needs tend to spread. Ones that don't eventually die.
- +1
Cultural evolution too is effected by its environment. So, if consumerism no longer suites our needs, it will die and we will adapt.
Perhaps the Opensource movement is evidence that this is already starting to happen. It started with software, but now some Opensource hardware designs are starting to appear (for example, Arduino micro-controllers). There are currently 20 TED talks related to Opensource. There's even one about Opensource farm equipment.
Opensource has done a lot to eliminate the "planned obsolescence" problem.
Oct 16 2013: I purposefully did not explain what I personally had in mind for advancing our species because I am curious what everyone else thinks that would mean.
Do you think consumerism will die? While I hope it does, I feel consumerism will eventually overtake every facet of life unless we as a society make a conscious effort to understand what it is and what it does.
Oct 16 2013: I have no problem by being a consumer. Now I can buy something I do not have to make or grow myself. However what scares me very much, and especially in North America, is the influence and even control, companies have on the government.
We moved to Canada from Europe and have seen the difference. We had more benefits there than we have here, and would have even less if we had moved to the States (which was our original plan).
A government that is more socially responsible will advance our species more than one that only regards the economy.
We are not in this world to be greedy and die rich, but to become loving people and die happy.
Oct 17 2013: "A government that is more socially responsible will advance our species more than one that only regards the economy.
We are not in this world to be greedy and die rich, but to become loving people and die happy."
I could not agree more.
Unfortunately for me however, I have grown up and lived in the United States my entire life. My only real exposure to government has been from watching a relatively dysfunctional one.
(There are many ways it is dysfunctional but for the sake of this conversation I will stay focused on media)
Elections have become a bastardized version of the democratic process. In America, ad campaigns and marketing strategies serve a bigger role in determining who gets elected than innovative yet practical ideas and policies.
Even our politics have been branded.Oct 17 2013: That's why our daughter and son-in-law, with 5 kids, are seriously looking at an opporutnity to move to Canada.Oct 16 2013: Did you know there is now also Open Source Religion?Oct 16 2013: We seem to work along the lines of " Faster communication then better transportation". This may sound un ted like but hear me out. We need to get off the ground. Once we are off the ground we are one step closer to being independent from our environment and less subject to it's changing system.
I wish i could live long enough to see our kids chase those pesky ufo's.Oct 15 2013: As much as I want to say that society shouldn't be governed by the media and advertisements, I think it is inevitable. I think that living in a "fake" or consumerist society is naturally going to happen. The focus should now be on learning to adapt and live in this culture. There are stark differences between todays society and previous generations. We should now be looking to change those previous standards of living. I don't any examples of how this can be done but we have to learn to fine genuine product and spirit in todays society.Oct 15 2013: To make each individual a productive member of the society they are in.Oct 15 2013: Raising everyone's standards of living as much as possible, in as sustained a manner as possible, if you're asking what it should be.
As for what it is in practice... I don't think we have one. At least not a universal one. Everyone has their own agenda, from spreading or practicing religion, to pursuit of knowledge, to making money, to making a grab for power, to simply being left alone to their own devices.Oct 15 2013: Hi Michel :)
Of course, The human itself along with humanity...Oct 15 2013: "FOCUS" for entire human civilization ?
or As an individual human being ?
Oct 15 2013: Human civilization.
An individual's sense of progress and achievement are unique to whatever they value. So what should we as society value? Should we strive for comfort or creative innovation?
I believe that the growing rate of cynicism and apathy in society is a direct result of advertisements and consumerist ideologies. From a young age we get bombarded with messages saying we aren't good enough physically, mentally, socially etc. unless we have a certain product. Once we learn that 'being gullible is bad' we put up a defense until 'we are sold on it'. While being cynical is not inherently bad, the reasons for cynicism today don't serve a very constructive purpose.
Oct 16 2013: So far there is no unified identity for the entire human civilization. So having unified identity can be the first goal to focus.

The focus should be on how to eliminate invalid (harmful) happiness.
Oct 15 2013: How should invalid happiness be identified? How could it be eliminated?
W. Ying
Oct 16 2013: .

Here is a brief:
(1) Valid happiness is the short-time feeling of things being a-step-better
. . for keeping our DNA alive.
(2) Invalid happiness is the short-time feeling of things being pseudo-a-step-better (actually a-step-"worse")
. . for keeping our DNA alive.
. . E.g. having junk food, drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, abusing drug,
. . .... wasting (fashion, big house, touring, .... causing environment crisis),
. . .... making too much money (causing inequality, crimes, wars, ....
. . .... "destroying our planet", .... humankind self-extinction).
(3) "Invalid happiness" is out of the valid scope of our instincts formed 10,000 years ago.
About 90% of happiness we pursue today is invalid happiness.

Transportation Unions: Background
This category includes air transport unions, railroad unions and merchant marine and longshoreman unions.
By far the largest player: the Teamsters union. The Teamsters primarily represent workers in the airline and freight industries. As is typical of labor in general, transportation unions contribute the majority of their campaign contributions to Democrats, although they tend to give a higher proportion of their money to Republicans than do other unions.
During the 2008 election cycle, transportation unions contributed about $15.7 million to federal candidates, parties and committees. Of this amount, 87 percent went to Democrats. The Teamsters, Air Line Pilots Association and National Air Traffic Controllers Association each spent about $2.5 million on such contributions.
The legislative agenda of transportation unions is similar to that of the labor movement in general: fair wages, worker safety, job creation and the promotion of products made in the United States. Another priority for these groups during the 111th Congress is passage of health care reform and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, a measure supporters say will make it easier for workers to unionize. They also have a stake in the economic recovery plans.
During President George W. Bush's first term, the Teamsters notably sided with Bush in support of oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The union saw the proposal as a way to create union jobs and decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil. But the Bush/Teamsters romance didn't last long. The union opposed several of the Bush administration's high-profile agenda items, including the Central American Free Trade Agreement (commonly known as CAFTA), which passed Congress in the summer of 2005.
The industry spent more than $11 million on federal lobbying during 2009. This represents an all-time high for these organizations. The biggest spenders included the Teamsters Union, the Air Line Pilots Association, the United Transportation Union and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. Each of these unions spent more than $1 million on lobbying last year.

INTERVIEW: Workshop APD's Sustainable New Orleans
In August 2006, Global Green and Brad Pitt announced the winners of the Global Green Sustainable Design Competition For New Orleans. The winning proposal, titled GreeNOLA and submitted by Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen of Workshop APD, calls for six houses and two multifamily units which employ energy-efficient appliances, solar power, and recycled building materials, as well as providing social services like child care and a community garden. Workshop APD's proposal is designed to cut pollution and decrease operating energy use by 50-60 percent, compared to traditional homes. The success of the GreeNOLA design is its seemless integration of cutting edge green technology with the traditional building wisdom of the region. This combination creates healthy and affordable new residences for displaced residents of New Orleans. We sat down with the two architects to discuss their winning design proposal for rebuilding in New Orleans – read on for the interview after the jump.
JILL: So tell me about your design proposal for the 9th ward in New Orleans
Andrew: It started with researching the 9th Ward and the Holy Cross area, where our site is. In our research of the greater context we wanted to propose new ideas for how to redevelop the area by bringing commercial, bringing in retail, revegetating the landscape, creating more of a linear park across the river and then begin inserting our ideas onto the site. Our focus was to achieve a greater understanding of prefabricated modular construction – these pieces end up evolving and becoming three-dimensional elements and then getting assembled in an infinite configuration and through a series of selection processes you end up with a structure.
Jill: So there's a market and community center on the lower level of the site?
Matthew: The idea is that this whole open corner would be the farmer's market and public area as it reaches out into the rest of the community. Then you come into the interior of the site: parking, day care, children's play space, market with the community food production area; again it's sort of buffered by the other buildings. This is the bridge. It's a community bridge that pulls you in from the rest of the community right through the middle of the site and up onto the levy. The idea is that the residents can control access to the site. We were intentionally trying to activate the site by pulling the community through it as opposed to walling off the site and creating an interior that's only for residents.
Jill: Is it specifically designed to be affordable or lower income housing?
Matthew: It's intended to be affordable housing, not necessarily lower income housing. It's trying to be affordable housing through its sustainability. For example it was designed as a net zero site so that all of the energy production happens on site, and it's done through affordable tax and more efficient systems that reduce the load- the energy load- so the idea is that nobody would have an electric bill.
Andrew: Net zero is the sewer waste and water, it's all cisterns, we reclaim water, reuse gray water and recycle the water through the site. The idea is that nothing goes out and nothing comes in to the site.
Matthew: It's also intended to be affordable through the design options. A lot of these single family houses are set up and it works well with the typical New Orleans prototypes, the shot gun house and the Creole cottage, but most of these houses have either out buildings or internal apartments that can be rented out and that's how a lot of people maintain the affordability. So there were different ways of thinking about affordability.
Jill: So lets talk about the climate down there and the systems for heating and cooling. I know it's really humid in New Orleans and people tend to use air conditioners. Is it possible to use passive design elements in this sort of climate?
Andrew: In New Orleans the humidity averages at 75% throughout the year so it is impossible to cool spaces without mechanical cooling. So it can't just be passive ventilation and breezes blowing through – so we're using a geothermal system that is combined with a Z-coil dehumidification system, which is essentially a pumped-up air conditioning system with a few other modules put onto it that's more efficient.
So there is a form of mechanical cooling, which is supplemented by a geothermal drawing from the earth's temperature and circulating it back up through the structures. And we've oriented our buildings so that they can get maximum cross ventilation. That's why everything has this shotgun effect. We have louvers systems at either end so that at certain times of the day you can open and close them to minimize heat gain, but open them for breezes to come through. All these strategies have been in use for 30 or 40 years. We've just packaged it together in a place that's never heard of or seen it before.
Jill: Have you done any market testing or interviewing of residents of the area, or anything to get a sense of what local New Orleans residents think about your designs?
Matthew: Yes- the second phase for this competition was very intense and very well choreographed. They invited the six finalists down three separate times to New Orleans to meet with design jury members, technical jury members, and community groups.
We made several presentations to community groups over this six-week period — where we would go down initially with our first boards, an hour presentation where we talk for ten minutes and then respond to questions with answers and really try and develop and flesh out what their needs are and their interests are. So we definitely got to know them and develop a really good rapport and understand their needs and desires.
Andrew: Global Green has set up an operation down there that sponsors of the competition and they've done a lot of community outreach where they've done several presentations. So, the competition is on the heels of them already being there for about four months and trying really to establish this notion of sustainability.
Matthew: We were very successful at listening to what each of the constituents had to say and filtering it through our own ideas to see, to work those things in so that we felt comfortable with the product we were producing, but we also felt responsible about what it was that we were contributing down there.
We are going back again next week – this is all really exciting for us. We do most of our work in high-end single-family residential custom architecture. This is a larger scale and a totally different opportunity so we just embraced it. Construction should start in the spring of next year.
Jill: So much as I hate to do this, I have to ask: What was it like working with Brad Pitt?
Andrew: He was really nice and seemed to know what he was talking about, honestly. A lot of architects are skeptical about Brad Pitt's sudden interest in architecture – but I have to tell you that from what we could tell, he seems pretty devoted to the cause of sustainable design, and of course the celebrity interest just helps elevate interest in our project, and we can't argue with that!

It's exciting to hear about more energetic input and assistance for those in need in New Orleans.
Although my mother taught me that if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all,
I have to point out that once again we have an award-winning design that has the right heart, but misses the boat in its execution.
Most designs that I've seen come out of Katrina competitions are self-referential in nature, and their good ideas are expressed out of context.
A project like this, in an area rich in cultural history, requires a regional thought that at least reflects some of the flavor of existing datum and proportions. I myself am a modernist designer, but Corbu bands of glazing and squat punched openings in no way evoke New Orleans or the Deep South.
Can we designers and architects (leaders) show the outside world the considerate, economically feasible, problem solving, warm side of modern design? In order to sell green development, sustainable development, and modern design we need to reflect back on our appreciation of Louis Sullivan's belief that "form ever follows function." I don't see forms that reference the Shotgun in this design; I see forms that reference our still limited vision of modular construction. The trailer perched atop this great mixed-use facility would most likely be torn off first in hurricane winds. The dramatic cantilevered shed roof is a good sunshade, but a storm wind could come under it and turn the roof into a flying carpet. That projecting roof could fold down in storm conditions to become a storm shutter. (Note: When designing in a hurricane zone, always think about Bernoulli's Principle. Shed roofs perform "ok" in high winds if they have sufficient pitch and are correctly oriented, but the preferred roof style in high wind areas in the hip roof. A lot of research has been conducted on roof design since Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc in 1992, and according to Jeff Burton, IBHS' building-code manager, "If your concern is safety, then the odds are that a hip roof will be more wind-tolerant than a gable end." — Interview with Herald Tribune)
Also, the building appears to sit firmly on grade… I hope the ground floor is designed to blowout in storm conditions with high waters. We can't let ourselves design scared, thinking only of how to address hurricane winds and water, but a project like this should exemplify form and means best suited for surviving such natural forces.
Lastly, there is the issue of cost. Modular construction might take hold this time around, but pre-fab manufacturers closest to New Orleans will tell you themselves that modular construction still costs quite a bit more than site-built. We're supposed to be helping those without the means to help themselves… affordable housing and low-income housing. This is a choice opportunity for us to stretch our creative muscles and take an active part in forming the new New Orleans, and though prototyping does cost more, what better time to make that impending change to the new system… right? But we cannot forget the essentials of the task at hand.
Matthew of APD puts it as it is… "It's intended to be affordable housing, not necessarily lower income housing. It's trying to be affordable housing through its sustainability. For example it was designed as a net zero site so that all of the energy production happens on site, and it's done through affordable tax and more efficient systems that reduce the load- the energy load- so the idea is that nobody would have an electric bill."
I doubt that this project could afford the technology to be self-sustaining and still be deemed "affordable" for whomever is footing the bill (be it federal, a private entity, or the end user). Even if the project is to be paid for by a federal grant, that money would go further in aiding more people if spent on a more economical scheme.
Yes, in the long term the project will redeem itself by being considerate to the environment, and thrifty with it's use of supplies and energy, but can it… or should it… be afforded now?

Craig Baird has hit back with a vengeance in race two of the Porsche Carrera Cup program at the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix.
After finishing – for him – a lowly third in race one, today was all about redemption, and the New Zealander's intentions were clear from the outset when he nipped underneath Steve Richards at turn one seconds after the start.
From there, he wasn't headed again, although he did have to contend with Nick Percat sitting on his bumper for a fair chunk of the eight-lap journey.
But with Percat easing off in the last few laps to manage a front brake issue, Baird sauntered to a resounding 5.24-second victory – his 12th in the Carrera Cup around Albert Park, and 51st overall in the category.
"As per usual, the start is very important, and I obviously got away very well when I passed Steve early on," said Baird. "The car was very good and I pushed on quite hard – and there were areas where my car was better than Nick's, and areas where his was better than mine.
"When Nick had the brake issue I managed to skip away, and then it was all about getting to the chequered flag without writing my acceptance speech in the car and losing concentration!" Warren Luff finished in third position after a race-long ding-dong with Michael Patrizi, while Steve Johnson and Richards were similarly huddled together in fifth and sixth.
Richards, the race one winner, was shuffled back to fourth position early on before his chances of a repeat evaporated completely after he ran off the circuit and dropped back to 11th. Max Twigg was the first Elite driver home in seventh position.
The final race is at 2:10pm tomorrow.
