Wednesday Walk Returns For Third Season, Presenting Informational, Guided Walking Tours Throughout Downtown Syracuse
Wednesday, June 14, 2017
Syracuse, NY - Wednesday Walk, presented by the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc. and several other health-conscious community organizations, has returned for its third season. The free, guided, informational lunchtime and evening strolls throughout Downtown Syracuse kicked off Wednesday, June 14 and continue every other week through October 11.
This season, ten walks are planned. Five walks, including the first walk of the season, Wednesday June 14, step off at Noon from Clinton Square, and last about 45-minutes. Five other walks are planned for evening. Those also step off from Clinton Square (unless otherwise noted), and last between 60 to 90 minutes. All walks are designed to explore the unique amenities Downtown Syracuse has to offer, while also encouraging exercise. The walks are free guided tours, led by Downtown community leaders and fitness experts. Each walk is built around a different theme, teaching participants about architecture, art, parks, meeting and event spaces, history and more.
The theme of the first walk of the season is focused on the rich history of the Erie Canal. Led by Natalie Stetson, the Executive Director of the Erie Canal Museum, the route will take participants along the path where the Erie Canal once ran through Downtown Syracuse. The walk will highlight some of the city's oldest and most well-known buildings, and educate walkers about the history of the Erie Canal. Stetson will also discuss the economic impact that the Erie and Oswego Canals had on the City of Syracuse. The walk holds extra significance as the 2017 World Canals Conference will shine a spotlight on the Erie Canal Museum this September.
Other themes planned for the 2017 Wednesday Walk Series are also timely:
- Later this month, Micha L. Crook, Director and Founder of the first-ever Syracuse Contemporary Irish Film Festival, will lead a walk focused on Syracuse's Irish heritage and history, just a few days before the film festival's debut at the Everson Museum of Art. Walkers will learn about the contributions of Irish immigrants, and the role they played in establishing the Erie Canal.
- In July, the Syracuse Parks Department will lead a walk exploring some of the parks in Downtown Syracuse, as the Parks Department celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year!
- Additionally, views, nature and Women's History are other themes that are planned for this seasonal walking season. The series will culminate with a tour of the Syracuse Crunch's facilities and locker rooms.
"The Wednesday Walk series provides a great platform for folks to explore downtown's rich history, art, architecture and development," said Merike Treier, executive director of the Downtown Committee. "Whether you live, work, or are visiting Downtown Syracuse, it's a creative way to get a few steps in, soak up the sunshine and learn about all of the activity happening here in our city's center."
The Wednesday Walk Series was designed with downtown employees, residents and visitors in mind, but everyone is encouraged to participate.
Wednesday Walk is a collaborative effort presented by the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc., SUNY Oswego Metro Center, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County, the American Heart Association, Metro Fitness, the Downtown YMCA, the Syracuse Rescue Mission, the Syracuse Crunch Hockey Club and Fleet Feet Sports. The organizers were recognized at the Downtown Committee's 2016 Annual Meeting, awarded with the Urban Innovation Award for promoting the healthy benefits of walking through guided tours.
To learn more about the program, please sign up for a weekly email newsletter detailing the routes. Please email the Downtown Committee at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Click here for a complete schedule and more information.

Alibaba : signs deal to offer Disney shows on video platforms
Alibaba said in a press release on Monday that the multi-year licensing agreement signed between Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group and Disney subsidiary Buena Vista International Inc will see more than 1,000 Disney episodes released on Alibaba platforms which include set-top boxes.
The deal comes as Disney has faced obstacles in getting digital television content into China. In 2016, its DisneyLife online content venture, which it launched with Alibaba, was shut down by Chinese regulators less than five months after operations began. The reason for the shutdown was not made public.
"The addition of Disney content greatly enriches the library of quality international content on Alibaba's media and entertainment ecosystem, giving us a leading edge in foreign content distribution in China," said Yang Weidong, president of Youku at Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group.
Alibaba did not disclose the value of the deal.
Youku reaches 580 million devices and gets about 1.2 billion views each day, according to Alibaba's news website Alizila. It said the platform already has similar licensing deals with Warner Bros., Paramount, Fox, NBCUniversal and Sony Pictures Television, among others.

Best Stethoscopes For Nurses & Doctors & Nursing Students On Amazon Reviews
I must tell you about a few products that you have got to try out. I know you don't want to read another product review, but this is one worth reading. Everyone has been raving about these stethoscopes and I had to research them for myself. Let me tell you, they were not lying! I love them and I know you will too. They are not the cheapest products on the market. They not even the most popular, but they are the most remarkable. I wish these had been available 15 years ago when I started out. Each of these stethoscopes is unique in it's own way, so one of these will be the one for you. Check them out; I'm sure you will be pleased.
3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope
The 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. is a remarkable piece of equipment. This stethoscope incorporates technology not previously available on the market. It has a dual sided chest piece that is compact, durable, and it is ruggedly dependable, so it will last for years without degradation. IT delivers versatile auscultation. It incorporates a tunable diaphragm that responds to simple pressure changes to capture low and high frequency sounds without the need to turn over the chest piece, which allows for seamless patient check-ups. It has an anatomically correct headset that is angled to fit the ear canal for comfort and optimal sound generation. With a latex free design and a non-chill rim that is comfortable for the patient, this is a Cadillac of a stethoscope.
3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope, Caribbean Blue Tube
The 3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. is lightweight and reliable with good acoustic response making it a great entry-level stethoscope. Like it's big brother the Littmann classic, it also contains a tunable diaphragm, anatomically correct earpieces and a non-chill rim. It also has an additional feature over the classic, in that it contains a teardrop shaped diaphragm that makes it a great choice for nurses and medical assistants. Overall this is a great stethoscope and is priced right as well.
3M Littmann Master Classic II Stethoscope
If the 3M Littman Classic II is the Cadillac of stethoscopes, then the 3M Littmann Master Classic II is the Rolls Royce. It contains all the great features of the classic like the tunable diaphragm, anatomically designed earpieces, and non-chill rim. In addition, the Master Classic contains a world winning ergonomic design that delivers a comfortable and reliable piece of diagnostic equipment. It is also latex-free for people with sensitive skin and delivers excellent acoustic sensitivity.
ADC Adscope 609ST Stethoscope
The ADC Adscope 609ST is a value packed stethoscope for people on a budget. Even though its price is small, its features are huge. Crafted from lightweight aluminum, this stethoscope is like wearing air. IT contains an extra large 1 3/8-diameter bell with a 1 3/4 diaphragm that is highly sensitive. The bell contains a non-chill design for patient comfort. With a 22-inch tube and Adsoft PVC ear tips, this stethoscope is perfect for anyone to use.
Omron Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope
The Omron Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope is a tremendous value for those who don't want to spend a lot for a stethoscope. At less than 20 dollars, it is a value that is packed with features. It has latex free tubing for those who have latex sensitivity. IT contains three sizes of open bells, two sizes of diaphragms, and two earpieces for maximum versatility in a value priced package. It is dependable and rugged. It comes with a vinyl storage case for easy stow away and product protection. It is a piece of equipment that you would expect to cost many more dollars than it does making it a best buy for anyone.
All of these products are great. The 3M Littmann Stethoscopes contain features like ergonomic design and tunable diaphragms, while the Adscope and Orman stethoscopes provide maximum with big features, how can you go wrong? One of these stethoscopes is right for each member of your medical staff and will likely be the last one you ever buy. Research these for yourself and you will see why they are so amazing.

Nonprofit Outsourcing - Part 1: Why Should You?
Posted by Ethan Jones & Lorenzo Gomez III on Sunday, August 19, 2012 Under: Outsourcing
Today's post is the first of a two part series that focuses on why and how a nonprofit or charity should use outsourcing. I was first introduced to this concept while reading Tim Ferriss's book The 4 Hour Work Week. If you haven't read this book it is a must read for any nonprofit or charity that needs to upgrading their online toolkit. Click here for a blog post of other must reads like this book.
My first use of an outsourcing service was a result of a conversation I had with a graphic designer who offices in the co-working space, Geekdom, of which I am a member. I mentioned to my fellow geek-in-arms my concern regarding how much work I had to address each day and how lean my boss wanted me to be in running his foundation (i.e. a foundation of one person, me). My biggest complaint was that my inbound requests, both in phone calls and emails, was so overwhelming that there were weeks when people would get buried in my email never to get a return response. He looked up at me and said very nonchalantly, "You should just hire a VA."
What the heck is a VA?
As I scratched my head and tried to figure out what a VA was, he thankfully answered the question for me: a VA is a Virtual Assistant. A virtual assistant is a worker you hire, typically overseas, to take care of tasks you want to clear out from your schedule.
Most of these workers are based in places like India or the Philippines, with hourly rates that are incredibly low for American standards - as low as $1.50 an hour, depending on the type of work. I think there are legitimate concerns regarding wage rates for VAs, and I look forward to wage analysis and research for this up and coming virtual field of workers. From my own experience with hiring VAs, I can tell you that wage rates are negotiable by both parties, and through the platform I have used for hiring, VAs can turn down jobs if they do not feel the wage is fair. What is 'fair' in this ever changing and flattening world? It's a good question to ask. And remember: the point of hiring a VA is NOT so that you can get cheap labor and exploit people for the sake of saving money. The point is to more effectively manage your time and to use online tools that are available to you to better leverage the resources that you have in our global economy. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know my hired VA - he is a great worker that is excited about his job and for prospects of completing international and business-related work.
An additional concern I have heard is the worry the that hiring a VA is unsafe: is it really okay to allow access to your files, online tools, and information about what you do to anonymous workers overseas? There isn't an answer to this concern that will ease everyone's worries, however I feel that spending time screening, interviewing, and getting to know potential VA hires will help tremendously. In the second post of this series, I will further discuss how to evaluate a potential VA.
Regarding how I felt a VA could help me, it was very simple. The biggest tasks I needed help with to be more efficient with my day was scheduling conference calls and meetings. Nearly 90% of the requests that come in to the foundation I work for are either requests for funding or general requests from folks that just want to "see what we are up to." The act of merely scheduling these calls and meetings is very time consuming, and I knew an administrative assistant would be a huge help to me. However, I didn't need 20 hours per week of help, so I didn't think it would be worth finding someone for part-time help...until the concept of hiring a VA to be my part-time help entered the picture. I just needed to share my Google Calendar with a capable and polite VA who could help me handle the lengthily exchange of "does Tuesday at 2pm work, no, what about Wednesday at 5, no, what about Friday at noon?" I would be able to focus my time on more important things for the foundation while my VA organized my calendar for me and helped with meeting cancellations and rescheduling requests.
What else can a VA do?
The fun and short answer here is...basically everything. If you need something done, just hire someone with the skills you need. Some VAs will have skill sets primarily consisting of research, while some can get their hands dirty managing your website, making phone calls for you, or even putting together reports and documents.
The more complicated the task, the more important effective hiring becomes. Here are just a few great suggestions for saving time using a VA:
- Scheduling phone calls and managing your calendar
- Data entry in to your website
- Compiling spreadsheets from web research
- Acting as a gatekeeper for incoming e-mail
What does all this have to do with nonprofits? The answer is cost. Effective cost control should be top of mind with nonprofits right along with raising money. Too often I fear that nonprofits think, "if I can just raise more money I can hire someone to help me." This is the wrong way of thinking. The right way to think is this, "in what ways can I make my money go further?" Any start-up business will tell you that the number one cost on the Income Statement is Salaries and Wages Expense. People are the most expensive (and most important) part of your operation. When you decide to hire someone you have to be absolutely positively certain that you have exhausted all other possible ways to effectively manage your donors' money and contributions.
Outsourcing in this way can allow you to be more efficient, more organized, and to better leverage your spending dollars on hired help. When you look into your nonprofit tool box this is without a doubt the swiss army knife: it can do virtually most anything you need it to, virtually. The question is, do you know how to use it?

Dr. Christopher Borick, Director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion, was a guest on Thursday's Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM with host Stephen K. Bannon, where he offered his projections for next week's Pennsylvania primary.
"More and more, the polls appear to have Donald Trump poised for a big victory in Pennsylvania — maybe not quite the level of what happened in New York, but he's well-positioned in almost every poll I've seen, including some new ones out today," said Borick.
He said Pennsylvania is "rich" with the core voters who have been turning out for Trump across the country: "White working-class voters, lower education levels, frustrated by the loss of manufacturing jobs."
Borick added that Trump's message does not resonate solely among such voters. "He does well enough in groups like the higher-educated, those with a college degree," he said. "He's right in the mix with both Kasich and Cruz among that group, here in Pennsylvania."
He expected Ted Cruz to do better in Pennsylvania than New York, citing Cruz's slam at "New York values" as a reason for his exceptionally poor performance there. However, Borick thought Cruz's candidacy "just doesn't translate well to the Northeast," where the population of evangelical voters is smaller.
He also thought Ohio governor John Kasich's candidacy was "a real issue" for Cruz in the Northeast. "Kasich's got draw in western PA," he said. "The proximity to Ohio, he was born in Pennsylvania, he has roots here. He runs about even in our polls out in the Pittsburg area. So there's a little bit of draw that's taking away from potential Cruz voters there."
"They're probably going to divvy up the vote pretty evenly here, and that's a great position for Donald Trump to be in," Borick judged. "As long as that's the case, in a place like Pennsylvania, the ability to close the gap on Trump remains quite limited."
When it comes to a general election matchup against the Democrats, Borick conceded that "Pennsylvania has been a reach for Republicans since 1988," but he thought Trump "does have some assets that nobody else has brought to the table, in his ability to get those white working-class voters not only to go Republican, but to show up, in pretty big numbers."
"He makes it an intriguing environment that we haven't seen here in awhile. I still think demographically, with a million more registered Democrats in the state, that it's a tough haul for Republicans, but one that I think Trump might bring some dynamics in to shake it up a bit," Borick said.
On the Democrat side, Borick acknowledged that minority voter turnout is "the ace in the hole for Democrats in the state, and that's a big question mark."
"I think you're probably going to see the same breakdown among African-American voters, voting Democrats in the race," he predicted. "The key is how many do turn out. The draw of President Obama in places like Philadelphia was extreme. Having that not there is a question mark. If that fails to live up to expectations for Democrats, and Trump mobilizes white working-class voters, it could be a lot tighter than we've seen in the past in this state."
"It's hard to imagine a scenario, coming out of New York, without any big events happening, that Trump doesn't get in that forty, forty-five – maybe even a little bit more – percent of the vote," Borick said of the Republican race in Pennsylvania. As for Cruz and Kasich, he said "every poll I've seen has them running fairly even, they'll probably score in the high twenties, which will make it a sizable victory for Trump."
He thought it was possible that Trump could break fifty percent, "if he does better in suburban Philadelphia than he has been."
"That's the rich voter area in the state," Borick clarified. "Again, we talked about those higher-educated voters that showed up for him in New York, if they show in Pennsylvania, in suburban Philadelphia, he could fifty, or close to it."
Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00AM to 9:00AM EST.

After shoveling, I started on the final jewelry piece for The Outfit Project. I wanted a piece that was primarily orange with accents of copper, blue, and turquoise and decided on a bracelet starting with this wooden one I found at the thrift store - 3 for $5.00 - way less expensive than blanks.
I didn't know what to do or how to do what I hoped to do so rather than sit around feeling paralyzed by that fact, I made a decision to just start. I measured the bracelet and then cut interfacing and batting to that width and length and layered those with a strip of the orange fabric. They I played with different beads to see how they looked against the background and right away, felt the work was too flat. I wanted something much more dimensional so I used the sewing machine to make thread scribbles on the orange background and then glued it to the wooden form. Starting is the most important thing and then do one step, and then the next, and then the next, and just keep going until the piece says it's finished. If it's a masterpiece, that's a bonus. Finished is really good. The journey of learning is really amazing.
After gluing, I did a bunch of things without taking pictures. I've been finding it difficult lately to document every step because my brain is in create mode and not document mode. SO here's what happened. I took fifteen 1" wide strips of the orange fabric and tied knots in each one leaving the ends. AND THEN... I used copper paint to touch up the high points of the knots and I thought they looked ugly. AND THEN... I spaced the knots around the bracelet and stitched them in place with the ends hanging out wildly and I thought it looked ugly.
AND THEN... I used orange, turquoise, and pink thread to zigzag over orange cording and blue cording and thought they had potential. AND THEN... I twisted the cords in and out of the knots and tacked them in place and I thought it looked ugly. AND THEN... I twisted and turned the orange ends and tacked them down to the base fabric creating a topography of sorts and I thought it looked ugly. AND THEN... I sewed large orange and blue beads in place and I thought they looked like ugly blobs on an orange background. AND THEN... I wrapped twisted copper wire through the center and around the bracelet and thought it was finally achieving some degree of interest and sophistication. AND THEN... I sewed smaller blue and copper beads in place and thought it was starting to look interesting but need more contrast.
About this time, I thought about how when I create a knitted or sewn garment that I don't like, I just take it apart and make it into something else and I wondered how I'd do that with a bracelet but decided it was actually rather easy - I'd just use a chop saw to cut it in sections and go from there. And so I confidently carried on with my mostly ugly bracelet.
I decided it needed more depth and contrast and that weaving more of the zigzagged orange cord in and around the beads could work for that. About this time, a friend who is also an artist phoned and we discussed it and I drove over to her house and we discussed it some more while both looking at the bracelet and then I came home and worked on it some more. And this is the stage I'm at this morning. There are at least four more stages until the piece is finished, possibly more depending on what comes up, so hopefully I'll be able to show it in Friday's post because after that, I'll prepping for the workshop and starting to pack.
Because I don't want to pack, unpack, and then re-pack my workshop supplies in order to sew at Sheri's studio, we've decided to work on fabric beads. To prep for that, I've been Pintrest-ing and printing out inspiration images and instructions. When I decide to explore a subject, I tend to dive in deep which may be why it can take a while to get going on something I want to do. It can be all talk, no action, for a while because I know that when I go there, I'm going all the way.
While jewelry has been ticking for a long time, it was the wire weaving workshop I took in January 2017 that finally gave me the confidence to move in this direction. It seemed to flip a switch. Last year, I took several on-line wire working classes and made samples as well as pieces of my own. For The Outfit Project, I've made a jewelry piece for each outfit trying different techniques and my mind is bubbling with ideas to explore. It helps that I am seeing more clearly the role of creativity in jewelry as well as the role of jewelry - and in particular statement necklaces - in my fashion personality.
The Outfit Project highlighted - once again - my uniform. Clean lines, architectural interest, prints on the bottom, a relatively plain upper garment, and a statement necklace. I've been sharing with a few friends my ah ha around not wearing even a simple collar and instead wearing huge necklaces. They're shaking their heads in that so Myrna way but they can see why it works. And I did it again. The turquoise vest is hanging up to dry after I washed all the chalk marks out and then I'll add the buttons and then I'll post the finished project... with it's fourth neckline finish... no collar... after I tried three different collars.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - the ability to stay with ugly until it begins to shift

Jennette McCurdy Reveals She 'Butted Heads' With Ariana Grande On Set
Jennette McCurdy is spilling some juicy secrets! After months of rumors and speculation that her show 'Sam & Cat' was cancelled because she and co-star Ariana Grande were fighting, the hilarious and stunning blonde is telling all!
Jennette McCurdy, 22, is gearing up to star in Netflix's upcoming show, Between, but before she takes on her new role the Nickelodeon star is finally addressing the rumors that she and her former Sam & Cat co-star Ariana Grande were feuding while their show was ending after just one season saying, "you're gonna have ups and downs."
Jennette McCurdy On Ariana Grande Feud: 'Sam & Cat' Star Talks About Fight Rumors
While rumors surrounding the cancellation of Sam & Cat after just one season claimed that the two stars were fighting, Jennette is setting the record straight about what her relationship with the "Break Free" songstress is really like.
"I just feel that, you know Ariana and I were and are extremely close and very like-minded in a lot of different ways and then, sorta as the show dissolved, everybody wanted to find some sort of hidden meaning in our relationship," the hilarious actress told E! Online.
"Some like drama and I think we butted heads at times but in a very sisterly way. She knows me so well and I know her so well that I think it was unfortunate that things kind of got misconstrued," Jennette continued. "There is certainly like a friend dynamic but then once you're around that person for—I mean, Carly, Sam & Cat—once we didn't have child labor laws we could work like 16 hours a day so you are around these people constantly and It's just natural that you're gonna have ups and downs."
While they may have had their ups and downs, it is clear that Ariana has a special place in Jennette's heart. "But you bond so much and you're so close that you can't go through that experience and…I can't imagine a world where you would not come out extreme friends. I mean I have bonds with both Miranda Cosgrove and Ariana that are impenetrable."
We are so glad to hear that Ariana and Jennette's friendship is still as strong as ever — and who knows, maybe one day they will work together again!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you miss Sam & Cat? Do you think the show ended because Ariana and Jennette couldn't get along? Let us know your thoughts below!

London's built environment diary was filled with events last Thursday, whilst struggling with my fear of missing out; we all went to the opening of Sto Werkstatt's new exhibition "The Glass Chain". The designers of the exhibition,Lara Lesmes and Frederik Hellberg of Space Popular – two very colourful and interesting people, have recently moved back to London, ending their adventure in Thailand. Their unique design approach turns its back on minimalism, preferring to experiment with loud colours, unconventional materials and symbolism.
Amy Croft, the curator of the Werkstatt, asked Space Popular to work with glass to redefine the limitations and encouraging the audience to visualize a new purpose for glass in building design. The installation explores different ranges of scale, playing with our visual perception of glass doorways as grand arches and small steps as giant pediments. Lara and Frederik said they worked very closely with Sto technical experts to realise a kaleidoscopic glass construction that uses glass to enhance, alter and question human perception of space.
The installation title "The Glass Chain" is a reference to the infamous exchange of letters by a group of German architects from 1919-1920 initiated by Bruno Taut, fantasising about the myriad of possibilities of this incredible material. Lara and Frederik – Space Popular – are one to watch, as is the untold history of glass.

(Reuters) - Data storage equipment maker NetApp Inc reported a 4 percent fall in quarterly profit, hurt by lower sales to original equipment manufacturers, and forecast a third-quarter profit below market estimate.
The company's shares were down about 3 percent in extended trading.
The company's OEM business includes revenue from the sale of NetApp's products by other companies under their brands, including IBM Corp and Fujitsu Ltd.
OEM revenue fell 21.5 percent in the second quarter, contributing 8 percent to total revenue.
"IBM has their own storage solutions and they want to get more in-house as opposed to reselling a competitor's products," FBN Securities analyst Shebly Seyrafi said.
The company is also facing competition from larger rival EMC Corp and newer and cheaper flash-based storage technology vendors such as Nimble Storage Inc and Pure Storage.
A stronger dollar will hurt revenue from Europe in the third quarter, Chief Executive Tom Georgens told Reuters.
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region contributed 28 percent to NetApp's revenue in the second quarter.
EMC also cut its full-year profit and revenue forecast in October, hurt by lower bookings at its VMware Inc unit and a strong dollar.
NetApp expects current-quarter adjusted profit of 74-79 cents per share on revenue of $1.56 billion-$1.66 billion.
Analysts were expecting third-quarter adjusted profit of 80 cents per share on revenue of $1.62 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company's net income fell to $159.8 million, or 49 cents per share, in the quarter ended Oct. 24, from $166.8 million, or 48 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 70 cents per share, matching expectations.
Revenue fell marginally to $1.54 billion from $1.55 billion.
Analysts on average had expected $1.55 billion.

STBMProject ID: BRPR950101
Smart tunnel boring machine
Detalles del proyecto
Coste total:No disponible
Aportación de la UE:No disponible
Coordinado en:France
Régimen de financiación:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
Objectives and content
Building underground is increasingly becoming a construction option due to urban development and environmental issues. In the eighties, European contractors have started using Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) with mud or earth pressure. Up to now, some problems have been extensively studied by manufacturers and contractors such as confinement pressure and grouting when other problems still have to be solved: ground subsidence, slurry design and control, guidance systerns,....
Most of the time, the manufacturer never gets feedback from the operation of the machine as its role stops when delivering the TBM to the end-user/ The STBM project aims to improve safety, provide a better quality and a more cost-effective digging technique for tunnel boring machine.
The main deliverables of the project are:
- to show the feasibility of a new progression technique that will permit to increase significantly the productivity while allowing to decrease the size of slurry circuits.
- to propose new sensors that will give a better understanding of machine behaviour (to anticipate environment changes).
- to get a better integration of data acquisition and data treatment. - to reduce the time of design and the startup time of a new machine at the beginning of a project
- to offer a better ergonomy and equipment integration to working people. - to reduce and/or control the noise level in TBM which can exceed threshold limits in present operations.
The consortium comprises a major contractor (BOUYGUES) operating many TBMs as an end-user and a major TBM European manufacturer (HERRENKNECHT). ALGOSYSTEMS S.A will be responsible of supervising software development while DISCESVA will bring their experience in noise control and specific acoustic measurements. Two research organizations, LRP and IAI will give the necessary theoretical frame.

Ok, well it started out well. After we first heard of Generals 2 being announced we have to admit, we were excited. However, EA has decided that it's best to follow in C&C 4′s direction for the now defunct Generals 2, making it everything the fans didn't want.
Oh EA, what are you on? No single player as well?
Goodbye c&c.
One does not simply follow the already clear road to success during the development of a Command & Conquer game.
Starcraft 2 : "You do not have enough minerals"
C&C : "You have not yet purchased that unit" , what good is that in an on-line battle , OH sorry you lost because you didn't whip out your credit card fast enough while your opponent macroed you to death.
Wish they would stop calling them free 2 play games tbh , Micro Transaction Play (MTP) would be more accurate.

You'll also find some of HTC Sense's goodies included, such as the BlinkFeed news and social aggregator, so you can find interesting personalised stories at a glance on your home screen.
The HTC Desire 610 will feature a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with 1GB of RAM. There will be 8GB of internal storage with the option to expand this via microSD.
There's an 8-megapixel camera on the rear and 1.3-megapixel camera on the front.
"The HTC Desire 610 offers an outstanding combination of performance and entertainment at a price that makes it possible for everyone to enjoy an exceptional smartphone experience," said Philip Blair, HTC's president for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The HTC Desire 610 will be available across Europe from May 2014.

During my recent visit to San Sebastian we came across a marionette street performance that, I felt, was ingenious. Renaissance festivals and kindergarten aside, I couldn't remember the last time I saw a marionette performance. Those that did come to memory were definitely not as clever, nor were they as well crafted as this Beatles set-up. Which got me thinking about street performing, or "busking" as it was termed in the middle 1800's. Interestingly enough, considering it was my time in Spain that rendered me curious about busking in the first place, the word "busk" comes from the Spanish root word "buscar", meaning, "to seek".
I imagine it's the seeking part that renders some uneasy when they encounter street performers. Generally speaking, people are funny when it comes to money. Personally, I've always relished and in some cases even counted on street performers. You see, in mid-adolescence my family moved from the Bay Area to Salt Lake City, so during my summer I would go back to California to stay with friends and venture to the city. Walking up the stairs from the BART station into Union Square I knew I would see, 'the silver guys' – the first images that pop up if you type San Francisco Street Performers into Google. From there I'd head down to the wharf to catch a ferry over to Sausalito and knew on my way I would see, 'the bush man'. They were a staple for me, part of the fabric that encompassed the city I missed. Despite feeling out of place in my new SLC dwellings, seeing them assured me that all was still right with the world. During that time of growing up, they were the constant when everything else was just constantly changing.
Perhaps if I had not had that experience, I would be like the countless others I've seen pass by or actively avoid an encounter with street performers. Now I'm not attempting to open a debate reflective of, the Good Samaritan study, more just expressing an open curiosity about the experiences that can be missed when we are shut off.
Paul McCartney once dressed down and went busking for a documentary and no one noticed him. One of the most famous faces to span multiple generations, and no one noticed. How is this possible you ask – because no one even looked at him. Can you imagine hearing about that the next day at the water cooler and thinking to yourself, I'm one of the dumb bastards that walked past Paul McCartney.
Much like the street performers of San Francisco, the marionette creator will always be part of the San Sebastian fabric for me. When I watch this video of The Beatles Marionettes, it doesn't just remind me of the clever concept that captured my attention on the boardwalk that day. It also reminds me of the beautiful La Concha beach views, the salty warm air, and the life changing tapas I devoured later that night.
So the next time you're out and something catches your attention, remember the seeking aspect of street performance doesn't necessarily refer to money, at least not money alone. For those sharing their talent, it is more about seeking an audience that their work resonates with. Knowing that their creativity has connected with someone and is valued. And really, isn't being connected and understood something we all seek having, in our own unique ways.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I got the news in late November 2014. World tilting, everything-you-know-about-your-own-life-will-be-shaken-up-in-an-instant news -- which is weird, because it was literally four words.
"You have lymphoma. Hodgkin's."
I didn't actually say that. What actually happened was much less dramatic, and far less bad ass than I would've liked. My eyes filled with tears, and the damn water kept coming, so in an instant they were streaking my cheeks in a really un-brave kind of way. I think I said something like, "What?!"
Not an "I didn't hear you" what. More like, "This is a joke, right?" kind of what. Because there's no way I have cancer. I'm 25. I eat clean 85 per cent of the time, the gym is my happy place and I run for FUN. I've never smoked a cigarette, I've always worked indoors in clean environments, and -- this is the kicker -- I feel fine. I feel healthy. I just ran four and a half miles without breaking a sweat. How do you expect me to believe that I have a life threatening illness?
But apparently, I do. Apparently the swollen lymphnodes that wouldn't go away weren't a result of an infection -- which, in spite of doing everything "right," I've gotten a ton of in my life. They weren't something that I could choose to get removed in a few months, or a year, if they were "bothering me."
They were cancer. Are. They are cancer.
I started chemotherapy to treat my disease on January 9, 2015 – shortly after returning from a trip to Mexico, which had been planned for months. Long before the "c word," as I would come to call it, entered my life. A trip where I often snuck away to have some alone time, to try to wrap my head around the fact that as soon as I returned to my "normal life," I'd be beginning a battle that I was in no way ready to tackle. I found myself crying into my pillow while my in-laws, who had arranged the trip, my husband, and his brother and girlfriend, were all off having a great time. Oftentimes my husband would come to check on me and I'd end up crying on him, too.
The treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma is widely standardized, in both the US and in Canada where I live. It consists of four drugs – Adriamycin (more commonly called doxorubicin by nurses and "the red devil" by cancer patients), Bleomycin, Vinblastine and my personal nemesis, Dacarbazine. It forms the acronym ABVD, and that's what most doctors, nurses and patients call it. ABVD is given on days 1 and 15 of a 15-day cycle, which means it's administered every two weeks.
January 9th is memorable for me – it was the first night I threw up non-stop and briefly wondered if the treatment would kill me faster than the disease that was apparently ravaging my body. I was weighed at my doctor's appointment on the 6th and the scale read 110. By the time I got a PET scan ten days later, I'd lost 10 pounds. A pound a day – and there was no dieting, no exercise. It was all vomiting.
My cancer was staged from the PET and a bone marrow biopsy, which is a procedure that involves shoving a needle the size of a turkey baster into your backbone to suck some of the marrow out of it. The results showed the marrow was clean and the cancer was localized to the lymph nodes in my neck and chest. So my diagnosis was HL stage 2A – two meaning it was in two (or more) groups on the same side of the diaphragm, "A" signifying my lack of symptoms. No night sweats. No fevers. No unexplained weight loss.
"Stage 2A is considered to have a favourable outcome," my doctor said. That meant I'd have a good chance of beating it.
My hair fell out a few days before my second treatment. There was no warning. I just woke up one day and tried to brush it. It fell out. I had crazy thoughts, briefly.
"Maybe if I just don't brush it for the next six months, it'll stay."
It didn't. Before the day was even over it was falling out when I touched it. The next day I had my husband shave what was left of it. I couldn't stand watching it fall out slowly. He used a guard though, so I was left with about an inch of hair.
I'd like to say the inch stayed, but that would be a lie. It kept coming out, and a few weeks into treatments I had a nice big bald patch on the top of my head while the sides and back maintained some of the post-shave length. It looked ridiculous, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything about it.
I knew to expect most of this, though. I mean, not the constant vomiting – that part was a surprise. But the hair loss, I knew.
I knew because my mom had been treated for breast cancer only two and a half years before my own diagnosis. My cousin on her side had just received clean scans from a lengthy battle with metastasized colon cancer. A cousin on my dad's side was struggling with the effects of metastasized breast cancer. All of them had their own chemotherapy regimes, surgeries, radiation. I'd had aunts and uncles who had their own battles in the past – an aunt who had passed from lung cancer, an uncle who had been treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma many years before I knew what cancer even was.
My guilt started there. I didn't have to have any surgery, aside from having my lymph node biopsied to confirm my diagnosis – but does it really count as a surgery when you're awake during the whole thing and go out for lunch afterward? I still have all my body parts.
My chemotherapy was scheduled to last for six cycles. At a month per cycle, I'd be all fixed up by the time summer in Saskatchewan really arrived. Twelve treatments at most. It turned out to be even less when my midway CT (I had it on St. Patrick's Day) showed "significant shrinkage." My doctor decided we'd stop after eight, pending the results of my follow up PET.
I still haven't had my scan, but I'm pretty confident that it will show that my cancer is in remission. Four months of treatments and I'm basically good to go.
The chemo made me really sick, to begin with. But after the first two treatments I had another appointment with my doctor. He significantly increased my anti-nauseant dosages which really changed the game for me. I started to throw up much less – really only when my heartburn got too bad. After a few more weeks, I realized I was causing my own heartburn by drinking way too many carbonated beverages. I cut them out and the heartburn – and the vomiting - disappeared.
At the start, my family said stuff like, "I feel so bad for you, that the cure is making you so sick." "We love you and support you." "If you need anything, let us know!" But within a month or so, it all but stopped. Almost everyone stopped checking in once they learned that my treatments -- and ultimately, my cancer -- was no longer making me physically sick.
I stopped talking to a lot of my family after I posted a status update before treatment number eight that sarcastically told cancer to "send me a bigger one next time" because I was confident I'd beaten this round. One of my aunts angrily told me to "watch what I was saying because some of my family members were fighting to stay with us."
That's hardly true. I knew she was referring to my cousin, whose last scans had been clean, meaning her cancer was in remission. But because her initial prognosis had been so much worse than mine, everyone was still so worried about her. As for me – who might still be far from remission – I had to watch my mouth.
So it wasn't enough that I felt guilty for my relatively easy time of it in terms of treatments. I now had to feel guilty for the way I'd chosen to deal with the fact that cancer had turned my entire life upside down at the age of 25. And I did feel guilty – for all of it. I cried so hard I threw up when the same aunt decided to berate me about disrespecting her instead of trying to understand why I might react in a harsh way for being told to watch my mouth.
My sense of humour has always been my coping mechanism. I've always used sarcasm and laughter to deal with scary situations – but never in my life have I meant to hurt anyone else with it. I was just trying to figure out how to wade through cancer when a large part of my support system had basically dropped off the planet.
I'm hopefully done with treatments now. My hair's already started to grow back – the bald patch is gone. I'm doing some freelance print journalism, so in a way, I'm back to work. I've started running again, and I just renewed my gym membership. My life, it seems, is "back to normal."
And I still feel guilty. I feel guilty that I chose to cut my family out – even though the reason I did it was because they chose to stop supporting me. I feel guilty that the only lingering symptom I have is being easily tired out. I feel guilty that my cancer was caught early and treated quickly.
But I shouldn't have to. Hodgkin's Lymphoma is still cancer. Ten per cent of people diagnosed will die. Sure, that's a significantly lower number than what comes with other cancers, but death is death. It's scientifically proven that chemotherapy – ABVD included – can cause secondary cancers. There is a chance that I will relapse with Hodgkin's, and if that happens, the chances of a cure are slashed in half. I'll have a lifelong battle with these fears, and frankly, the odds are stacked against me. So I don't have any time to deal with my guilt over my "easy" treatments or my coping mechanisms and nobody should've made me feel that way in the first place.

***Help motivate me to keep training by donating here to my charity, No Kid Hungry***
On May 5th 2013 I will be running the Wildflower Triathlon, which is an Olympic distance (1.5km Swim, 40km Bike, 10km Run). It is my first triathlon goal on my bucket list leading to a full Ironman. Since I am still recovering from knee surgery I am focusing heavily on the swim and bike while building back to a good run capacity.
Well, I am through the first two weeks and it wasn't easy going from almost nothing to 5 days a week. I hadn't lifted weights in years and it hurt! My first swim was awful, I swam 50 meters and seriously thought I would drown. It appears that everyone besides me knew that if I calmed down and focused on smooth strokes it would get easier. At the end of my fourth swim, I went 750 meters (15 laps) without stopping. I no longer think that I will die on that part of the race so we are making progress.
My knee is a little sore and the isolated knee workouts in the weight room are basically torture, but they are neccessary. If I don't strengthen the muscles around my knee, I will be back on the operating table again. It is just amazing how weak my right leg is compared to the left. I have a very long way to go. Running has also been nice and, this week, I am downgrading from my metal brace to the light pullover variety. I plan to run like that for the next three weeks before removing the brace altogether during my January recovery week. I am both excited and scared to run sans brace for the first time since last March, but that is why I had surgery.
Take a look at the training plan for weeks 3-7 and see what you think, it really starts to ramp up with Fridays being my only day off and the addition of a third swim. The difficult day will be Thursdays because I work until at least 10pm on Wednesdays but it is unavoidable. Also, we shall see how the two a days go now that I go back to work in a few days. Lunch workouts may become a must!
I am also dedicating my race to No Kid Hungry, a charity that works to help feed the 16 million children who will face hunger this year. You can support the cause at my fundraising page here and you will still receive parts of my restaurant list for each $5 donated!

Got these and I have to tell you they're great.
They are cloth lined and while I prefer the plastic backed diapers, they are SUPER POOFY and extremely absorbent. I soaked one about four times without disaster. Although they do have a very quiet crinkle to them, they are great for going out in public as they don't make much noise. They also have the velcro tabs that can be adjusted anytime you want. ---> Great for taking off and putting back on again.
Just a super convenient and dependable disposable diaper.
Has anyone else tried these? What did you think?

gluPerspective.3G man page
gluPerspective — set up a perspective projection matrix
C Specification
void gluPerspective(GLdouble fovy, GLdouble aspect, GLdouble zNear, GLdouble zFar);
- fovy
Specifies the field of view angle, in degrees, in the y direction.
- aspect
Specifies the aspect ratio that determines the field of view in the x direction. The aspect ratio is the ratio of x (width) to y (height).
- zNear
Specifies the distance from the viewer to the near clipping plane (always positive).
- zFar
Specifies the distance from the viewer to the far clipping plane (always positive).
gluPerspective specifies a viewing frustum into the world coordinate system. In general, the aspect ratio in gluPerspective should match the aspect ratio of the associated viewport. For example, aspect = 2.0 means the viewer's angle of view is twice as wide in x as it is in y. If the viewport is twice as wide as it is tall, it displays the image without distortion.
The matrix generated by gluPerspective is multipled by the current matrix, just as if glMultMatrix() were called with the generated matrix. To load the perspective matrix onto the current matrix stack instead, precede the call to gluPerspective with a call to glLoadIdentity().
Given f defined as follows:
f = cotangent fovy 2 The generated matrix is
f aspect 0 0 0 0 f 0 0 0 0 zFar + zNear zNear - zFar 2 × zFar × zNear zNear - zFar 0 0 -1 0
Depth buffer precision is affected by the values specified for zNear and zFar. The greater the ratio of zFar to zNear is, the less effective the depth buffer will be at distinguishing between surfaces that are near each other. If
r = zFar zNear
roughly log 2 r bits of depth buffer precision are lost. Because r approaches infinity as zNear approaches 0, zNear must never be set to 0.
