text: Obviously not the real name, but I saw this at a fishstore and does anyone have any idea what it is? It's dark brown/green and in a disc like shape. It looks like a flounder and a stingray. The problem is that the eyes are not on one side and look normal, and it sticks to the glass. It's not a stingray either, since it doesn't have the flaps or the long tail. The shop keeper says it remains small as well. I would take a picture, but I just walked in there without any prior knowledge.

Intelligent solutions for cities of the future
TÜV SÜD's Smart City Services support cities in the tasks of modernising their infrastructures and creating an environmentally-friendly, efficient and liveable environment. The services build on the experience collected in the "Morgenstadt: City Insights" innovation network and the European Triangulum project. In March 2016 starts the TÜV SÜD-City Challenge, in which cities can apply for the pilot project of the TÜV SÜD-Smart City Assessment.
Against the backdrop of increasing urbanisation and new challenges caused by climate change, cities worldwide are facing major challenges. "To master these challenges, cities will have to develop smart solutions", says Kai Tepe, TÜV SÜD ImmoWert GmbH. "The problem lies in making increasingly complex infrastructures environmentally friendly, efficient and, of course, liveable." TÜV SÜD supports this process by offering a suite of new smart city services. In TÜV SÜD-Smart City Assessment, the experts analyse the current status of your city on the basis of 80 action fields and summarise their results in a report indicating the strengths and weaknesses of your city and identifying possible needs for action. TÜV SÜD-Smart City Lab will then use the results of the assessment to work with the city on developing an individual roadmap for sustainable development and specific measures to implement the strategy. To round off its suite of services, the international service provider offers the TÜV SÜD-Smart City Quick Check, a summarised report pinpointing strengths and weaknesses in areas such as quality of life, resilience, environment and waste and innovation.
"Our TÜV SÜD-Smart City Services build on the experiences of the Morgenstadt Initiative and the Triangulum European lighthouse project, both led by Fraunhofer IAO. The tools from this project and initiative are already being implemented in practice", explains Kai Tepe. Morgenstadt City Labs are already in operation in Prague, Chemnitz, Lisbon and Tiflis to determine the current status of those cities, while in Manchester, Eindhoven and Stavanger – the lighthouse cities of the Triangulum project – various smart city solutions are being tried and tested to obtain "blueprints" that can be transferred to other locations. TÜV SÜD ImmoWert has been a partner in the "Morgenstadt: City Insights" innovation network since 2012 and has been involved in the European Triangulum project since 2015.
TÜV SÜD Smart City Challenge to start in March 2016
In March 2016, the international service provider will launch the TÜV SÜD Smart City Challenge to present its TÜV SÜD-Smart City Services on the market. "Within the scope of the challenge, we call on all cities to apply for our Smart City Assessment pilot project", explains Kai Tepe. The TÜV SÜD Smart City Challenge is organised jointly with Fraunhofer IAO. The closing date for the application will be in June. The winner will obtain the full TÜV SÜD-City Lab service package at a significantly lower price.
TÜV SÜD at MIPIM 2016 in Cannes
For further information on TÜV SÜD Smart City Services and to submit your application for the TÜV SÜD Smart City Challenge, go to www.tuev-sued.de/immowert or visit the international trade show, MIPIM 2016, in Cannes, where TÜV SÜD can be found along other companies at the shared stand of the City of Munich, R7.G16.

Volunteers make harvest happen
When a Feb. 14 quintuple bypass and hiatal hernia surgery kept Tom Soat from planting his crops, friends and neighbors came to his aid. As harvest time neared, strangers were thrown into the mix.
"Isn't that the funny part?" Soat said of Farm Rescue volunteers. "Strangers we've never met before and may never meet again stopped what they were doing to help do this. It's hard to put it in words."
Levi Wielenga, of Sioux City, was among those strangers as Farm Rescue team leader of Soat's harvest operations near Fostoria, Milford and Langdon.
Wielenga, a railroad engineer, grew up on a Sioux County farm where his family still farms 650 acres and raises cattle.
When his brother shared an "American Profile" article about Farm Rescue, Wielenga knew he needed to get involved.
"Not to over spiritualize it, but I feel I found my calling in life in volunteering and serving with Farm Rescue," Wielenga said.
Soat also learned about the Jamestown, N.D.-based nonprofit organization from a relative.
"My brother-in-law knew about this outfit out there in North Dakota and gave them a call," Soat said. "Since it was a little late in the spring by then, they asked if they could get involved with the harvest. One thing led to another and here they are."
While Soat said he is physically able to operate farm equipment, his health -- coupled with dry conditions -- left him with other challenges.
"Financially, it hasn't been a good year with all the expenses and the crops that have withered," Soat said. He pointed to an 80-acre field of corn, with an estimated yield of three bushels per acre, that was chopped for silage, in addition to single-digit soybean yields in the field harvested Monday.
"It just quit raining all over," Soat said. "This particular piece of ground is a bit marginal and it caught it at the wrong time this year."
In addition to Soat's land, he maintains about 200 ewes that were lambing while he was laid up in the hospital. Neighbors stepped up to keep the operation running.
"I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for all those guys helping," Soat said.
During the harvest, neighbors and friends have been working hand-in-hand with Farm Rescue volunteers, lending both time and equipment.
For Wielenga, the choice to volunteer is personal.
"I think back to when I was a kid, if my dad had an issue, how thankful I would have been to an organization that came in and helped," he said. "It's healthy for us volunteers. There's nothing like getting over depression or a bad mood, that helping someone. It gets our minds off ourselves. It makes you grateful for the health you have. Sometimes, with the struggles we have, this takes the focus off ourselves and we realize we don't have it so bad."
So when a bearing went out in the combine Wielenga was using on Friday, he stayed positive. The setback pushed harvesting back a half day, but Wielenga still took Sunday off and returned Monday to finish the job.
Just as farming was a family affair for Wielenga growing up, so is volunteering with Farm Rescue. His wife, Carol, and young son, Lincoln, accompany him in the field.
Soat was taken aback by their actions.
"A thank you doesn't go very far," he said. "It doesn't do it justice. Levi and his wife are strangers giving their all. They have their 10-month-old baby with them. Not many people are willing to do that."
Wielenga was thankful both for the volunteers that assisted with the project, as well as the numerous sponsors that support Farm Rescue.
Without those volunteers and supporters, Soat's year would likely not have a silver lining.
"This has been an overwhelming year, a frustrating year," Soat said. "But it's been overwhelming that these guys would stop what they're doing to help."

Thus the apostle concludes this epistle with,
I. A valediction. He gives them a parting farewell, and takes his leave of them for the present, with hearty good wishes for their spiritual welfare. In order to this,
1. He gives them several good exhortations. (1.) To be perfect, or to be knit together in love, which would tend greatly to their advantage as a church, or Christian society. (2.) To be of good comfort under all the sufferings and persecutions they might endure for the cause of Christ or any calamities and disappointments they might meet with in the world. (3.) To be of one mind, which would greatly tend to their comfort; for the more easy we are with our brethren the more ease we shall have in our own souls. The apostle would have them, as far as was possible, to be of the same opinion and judgment; however, if this could not be attained, yet, (4.) He exhorts them to live in peace, that difference in opinion should not cause an alienation of affections—that they should be at peace among themselves. He would have all the schisms that were among them healed, that there should be no more contention and wrath found among them, to prevent which they should avoid debates, envyings, backbitings, whisperings, and such like enemies to peace.
2. He encourages them with the promise of God's presence among them: The God of love and peace shall be with you, 2 Cor. 13:11. Note, (1.) God is the God of love and peace. He is the author of peace, and lover of concord. He hath loved us, and is willing to be at peace with us; he commands us to love him, and to be reconciled to him, and also that we love one another, and be at peace among ourselves. (2.) God will be with those who live in love and peace. He will love those who love peace; he will dwell with them here, and they shall dwell with him for ever. Such shall have God's gracious presence here, and be admitted to his glorious presence hereafter.
3. He gives directions to them to salute each other, and sends kind salutations to them from those who were with him, 2 Cor. 13:12, 13. He would have them testify their affection to one another by the sacred rite of a kiss of charity, which was then used, but has long been disused, to prevent all occasions of wantonness and impurity, in the more declining and degenerate state of the church.
II. The apostolical benediction (2 Cor. 13:14): The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Thus the apostle concludes his epistle, and thus it is usual and proper to dismiss worshipping assemblies. This plainly proves the doctrine of the gospel, and is an acknowledgment that Father, Son, and Spirit, are three distinct persons, yet but one God; and herein the same, that they are the fountain of all blessings to men. It likewise intimates our duty, which is to have an eye by faith to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—to live in a continual regard to the three persons in the Trinity, into whose name we were baptized, and in whose name we are blessed. This is a very solemn benediction, and we should give all diligence to inherit this blessing. The grace of Christ, the love of God, and the communion (or communication) of the Holy Ghost: the grace of Christ as Redeemer, the love of God who sent the Redeemer, and all the communications of this grace and love, which come to us by the Holy Ghost; it is the communications of the Holy Ghost that qualify us for an interest in the grace of Christ, and the love of God: and we can desire no more to make us happy than the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

As in most other cities around the world, the highways around Banksa Bystrica, Slovakia, are lined with billboards covered in ads. One day, as designers walked under yet another new steel frame for a billboard, they started to wonder if the structure could serve a second purpose: Could the triangular space between two ads be turned into a tiny house?
As they considered the idea more, they realized the ads could actually help pay for the home—so it could be offered for free to people in need. "I saw a guy sleeping on a bus stop while returning to my rental flat," says Matej Nedorolik, one of the designers, who was a student at the time. "Something isn't right, I was saying to myself. ... I started to think about how to change that, and how to do something for people who are left alone to take care of themselves."
The design they created, called Project Gregory, has a kitchen, tiny office space, a bed with storage, and a bathroom, all intended for a single homeless person. In theory, since the billboards are already connected to the power grid and can easily be connected with water as well, the houses should be relatively easy to get up and running.
For now, it's just a concept. "Of course there is a question whether people would be interested in living in these spaces, if they could be maintained or they would be destroyed," says Nedorolik. "The whole project is in a 'work on' phase."
In cities with large homeless populations, it probably isn't a viable way to provide housing for many. There's also the question of whether those who are struggling should be living apart from other residential areas, next to the pollution of a crowded street, or in a home that's plastered with advertising.
But while some cities are trying to figure out how to get rid of billboards, the designers argue that in most places they're going to be around for a while—so we might as well make better use of them. "We think that cities should have fewer billboards, but it is not possible nowadays," Nedorolik says. "Today's world is flooded with billions of advertisements that attack people from everywhere. Project Gregory is a way to rebuild those billboards ... to make lives easier."

DETROIT – Chevrolet today announced additional vehicles with Chevrolet MyLink will be available with Siri, Apple's intelligent assistant that helps get things done just by asking. Siri Eyes Free Integration will be available on the 2014 Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS and Volt.
"The response to Siri Eyes Free integration in Chevy Sonic and Spark from our customers has been remarkable," said Chris Perry, Chevrolet vice president of U.S. Marketing. "Easy, reliable and portable connectivity is a top priority for our customers, and Siri complements MyLink's existing capabilities to help deliver an incredible driving experience, so we're excited to expand this to even more customers."
Through the cars' available Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, customers with a compatible iPhone* running iOS 6 or iOS 7 can direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. To help further minimize distraction, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further with an Eyes Free mode which enables drivers to interact with their iPhones using nothing more than their voice while keeping the device's screen from lighting up.
Owners simply connect their iPhone with the MyLink radio via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the steering wheel voice activation button to begin and end sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode.
In the 2014 Camaro, Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, SS and Volt vehicles equipped with MyLink, owners can use Siri in Eyes Free mode to:

Blogging Through Europe (Part 7: France)
by: Jonathan Givony - President
December 10, 2007
I passed the day in between games here in Le Mans avoiding the raindrops, watching practices, video sessions, shoot-arounds and hanging out with the team. A big part of this trip for me has been about expanding my knowledge of European basketball, learning about the way teams operate from the inside, understanding the dynamics of what makes a successful team and organization, and establishing relationships that will hopefully last for years.
On Saturday, Le Mans (ranked 3rd in France), played against the top team in the league, Nancy, who to me clearly look like a better team than they faced earlier in the week in Armani Jeans Milano.
Le Mans Defeats Nancy
There was a really nice atmosphere in the Antares arena. Its difficult for fans in Europe to attend many mid-week European cup games because of work, family, and other obligations, but during the weekend it seems like attendance is much stronger, and this city was no exception. They are a bit on the fickle side, but when things are going well, they are right there behind their team.
Watching nearly every second of preparation Le Mans conducted for this game gave me a fantastic perspective on what they need to do in order to win this game. Opposing forward Ricardo Greer, arguably the best player in France these days, was the clear focal point of Le Mans game-plan. Le Mans wanted to push him as far away from the paint on his post ups as possible, which is where he does much of his damage, either facing up and getting past his man using his quickness and smarts, or finding the open man brilliantly on their quick dives to the basket if the double team comes. They also wanted to keep him off the offensive glass (he has outstanding hands), as this is another part of the game he excels in.
The message was quite clear. Le Mans was ready for it, and had a clear cut strategy for how to stop him. But once the game started, it seemed like his defender
Luka Bogdanovic
promptly forgot (or ignored) everything he was told to look out for. Greer started torching him time after time in the post, receiving little to no opposition, and then added insult to injury by completely destroying him on the offensive glass as well. Greer accumulated 12 quick points, and then began finding his wide-open shooters (particularly his brother Jeff Greer) on the wings when Le Mans was inevitably forced to throw double-teams at him. Before anyone could even catch their breath, Nancy was up by 15 points at the end of the first quarter, and it looked like Le Mans youth and lack of mental toughness was going to haunt them once again. Mighty Antares sounded like a graveyard at that moment.
Alas, this team has more fight in it than people might be giving them credit for. Once Bogdanovic was banished to the bench (where he would sit and sulk for the rest of the game), the team started getting some stops on the defensive end (switching to a matchup zone), and slowly began climbing back into the game.
This seems like a really good moment to stop and talk about 18-year old French guard
Antoine Diot
. He came off the bench at the end of the first quarter, and instantly became a key cog in the successful eventual comeback that his team made, primarily through his toughness and smarts.
Rather than stand around and let his team get pummeled on the offensive glass for the second straight game in a row (16-4 was the count in the Milan game) like was already happening, Diot went and helped his post players out, boxing out bigger players than him and coming up with 4 big rebounds in the process, helping set the tone for his team along the way.
The 1989-born Diot is still a very inexperienced kid at this level, but the intangibles he already shows cannot be ignored. Every single time his team calls a timeout, Diot is always the first one out to greet his teammates from the bench and encourage them. When things heated up late in the game and the refs needed someone to talk to about Sam Clancy (who was complaining just a little too much), it was Diot who promptly made peace and calmed his much older teammate down.
He did more than just being mature beyond his years, though. Diot also had an excellent game, playing solid defense, getting in the passing lanes, pushing the ball up the floor, and also doing a terrific job running the offense, something his team has sorely been lacking from what weve seen. Diot very calmly moved the ball around, doing an outstanding job in particular on the pick and roll, coming up with a game high 6 assists in 26 minutes. Hes a fairly athletic player with great size for the point (6-4) and a nice frame for a guy his age, although his inconsistent perimeter stroke is a real hindrance if hes to develop into a serious NBA prospect over the next few years. Diot sometimes has problems with his decision making in the half-court, but on this particular evening, he was as cool and calm an 18-year old as youll find anywhere on the continent.
Zabian Dowdell helped keep Nancy in the game, coming off the bench to score 12 points in just 21 minutes. He provided a real calming presence for his team behind the athletic but somewhat erratic Pape Phillipe Amagou, who has been splitting minutes with Dowdell throughout the season. You couldnt help feel that once Le Mans settled down, Nancy was much better off with Dowdell running the show, as he was solid on defense, excellent in transition and really played the game at his own pace in the half-court. The fact that hes not shooting the ball particularly well has been his Achilles heel (plus hes not a jaw-dropping athlete), but hes made a terrific transition to European basketball for being just a rookie, and his coaches are very pleased with him so far from what they told us.
When it was all said and done, though, it was
Alain Koffi
who ended up being the hero for Le Mans in the closing minutes. Coming in off the bench following a long rest after Phil Ricci fouled out, Koffi scored one basket on a post-up move to push Le Mans up by four late in the game, and then scored again on an offensive rebound put-back to finally put the game out of reach.
The French 1983-born big man is having a breakout season for Le Mans, and this is actually a great opportunity to touch on his progress here.
Koffi is intriguing first and foremost because of his awesome physical attributes. A 6-10 PF/C with a 7-4 wingspan, hes an excellent athlete whose skill-level is finally starting to catch up to his physical tools. Hes averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds in 25 minutes in the French league, and 7.5 points and 7 rebounds in 23 minutes in the Euroleague. Koffi was a menace in both games we saw on the defensive end, blocking 5 shots both coming from the weak-side or sliding his feet and rejecting his man on the ball. His timing looks terrific, as does his activity level, and his excellent lateral quickness allows him to cover power forwards just as well as his recently improved strength allows him to hang with centers. It was really impressive to see the way he can just smother his matchup with his imposing wingspan, and even use his length and instincts to get in the passing lanes.
Although his physical tools allow him to really make his presence felt as a rebounder, at times you felt like he was relying too much on his athleticism rather than being fundamental boxing out his man. His team got outrebounded by a good margin in both games I saw, particularly on the offensive end. Still, its hard not to be impressed when you see an athletic specimen like him go up and snarl away a one-handed rebound in mid-air.
Offensively, Koffi is not a very fluid player, looking fairly mechanical in his post moves (besides some basic hook shots) and seeming very hesitant to shoot the ball from medium range, even though we saw him hit a few both in games and in practice. Thinking too much has been a problem with him for quite some time, but from what we can see and also were told, hes getting a lot better in this area this season. By all accounts, his attitude is excellent, and he really does want to achieve his full potential as a player.
Koffi has one more season on his contract after this, and its quite possible that he becomes a hot commodity on the open market already this summer. Le Mans was offered a 700,000 Euro buyout a year and a half ago by a team in Russia, but they decided to hold onto him to see how he continues to develop. He missed all of last season with a broken wrist he suffered in Summer League playing for Cleveland, and is really starting to blossom now at the age of 24. Its not out of the question that he ends up playing in the NBA someday, since players with his tools are rare commodities and hes probably good enough defensively to at least make a roster.
The Star of the Game:
Nicolas Batum
Weve spoken about everyone already except for the most interesting prospect on hand here in Le Mans (and possibly in all of Europe),
Nicolas Batum
. After a pretty lackluster showing against Milano in 19 foul-plagued minutes, Batum came back with one of the best performances possibly of his professional careerjust on time as far as I was concerned personally.
Batum scored in a variety of different ways in this game. His 3-point stroke was definitely on, coming off screens on separate occasions and knocking down two pretty difficult looks-- catching, elevating, shooting pretty fluidly and hitting tough shots. His shot looks to be improving all the time it seems, even if his mechanics arent perfect, hes clearly putting in a ton of work from what we saw over the four days we spent here.
Even if his 3-point shot is still streaky (29% in France, 23% in the Euroleague, 14/53 total), his mid-range game is looking as deadly as ever. Coach Vincent Collet (who really seems to enjoy working with the young players here from what we can tell) is putting in a ton of time on an individual basis with Batum every single day, working with him on all the little things he needs to improve on to be successful in the NBA. The part of his game that he seems to be stressing the most (besides the mental aspect) is his in-between game, which could become a lethal weapon in the NBA for a player with his tools at his position. Blessed with fluid and quite freakish athletic ability (combined with the high release point of his shot), Batum is capable of creating separation from his defender and through his pull-up mid-range jumper almost whenever he pleases. He found lots of success in this game by utilizing a sweet crossover move leading into a smooth pullup jumper from 17 feet.
Being just an average ball-handler at the moment, and thus not the most dangerous shot-creator in the half-court, Batum is forced to rely on other parts of his game to produce offensively. We saw him do that in this game by moving off the ball intelligently, finding seams in the defense, and making sharp cuts to the hoop, as well as by being his typical spectacular self in transition (where he truly excels).
Batum is the type of player who could really benefit from having a point guard with outstanding court vision, something he lacks here in Le Mans. One play that stood out in the Milano game was on a 3 on 2 fast break where he was streaking down the floor begging for a good lob that he could flush home. Instead, Raviv Limonad (a very talented scorer in his own right) threw up a wild pass that was not even close. Batum could get 4-6 points in this fashion just by moving off the ball every game, and this certainly seems to be an area that the free-flowing style of the NBA could benefit him.
Although the players around him arent particularly gifted passers, no one can say that about Batum himself. Thats something we saw on a constant basis, whether it was through his excellent post-entry passes, his drive and dish plays, or just his lightning quick decision making as a key cog in his teams half-court offense. This is both a blessing and a curse for a player like him, since hes clearly able to make everyone around him better, but at times youd wish that he would just be a little bit more selfish and get his team the easy two points.
Sometimes you wonder if its just a lack of aggressiveness he suffers from, while in others you begin to wonder if hes simply afraid of taking contact at the hoop, something that he clearly avoided in both games we saw. He had a chance on one play for example after an offensive rebound in the paint to go up strong and finish emphatically (he would had have absolutely no problem doing so), but instead, he decided to get cute and instead flip the ball to a teammate inside the paint for him to finish instead.
This is a bit of a trend as far as we can tell with Batum. Hell have an open lane to the basket sometimes and will barely look at the rim, or in certain minutes as he did during the Milan game for example, will just completely fall asleep on the court and barely make his presence felt. We saw both sides of this in the Euroleague and French league games this week. In the Euroleague, he didnt grab a single rebound in 19 minutes, while against Nancy, he came away with 9 in 40 minutes. Defensively, he did a very good job for the most part (his tools are just outstanding here), but there were a few moments that he looked a little too laid backexactly his nature off the court by the way. Growing into his terrific frame will help him fight through screens, and might make him tougher finishing around the basket too.
Whats scary is that a player like Batum can warrant so much criticism after producing such an excellent stat-line (he also added 5 assists to go along with his 25 points and 9 rebounds). That might give you a hint as to how much potential he still has at his disposal to tap into. His ball-handling and perimeter shooting skills are still very much improvable, but hes already an excellent player as it is.
He really does remind quite a bit of
Rudy Gay
, although he probably possesses an even better feel for the game. To really reach the type of success we can surely envision as a do-it all, 3rd option
Scottie Pippen
-type role player, hell have to land in the right situation, with a good point guard, and a coach that likes to play up-tempo. Hell also have to be pushed quite a bit to get there, since he might not be able to get there if hes on his own. We must say that hes clearly making some important strides in this very valuable extra season he decided to give himself in Le Mans.
