EVs In Paul Newman's Hometown
by RAY JONES
for the Westport News in ConnecticutĀ
(Wed March 3rd, 1999)
He's seen the future and it's electrifying. Remy Chevalier has been an environmental activist most of his adult life and now he's charged up about getting a chance to spread the word about the clean, quiet power that many think mayĀ soon revolutionize the auto industry.
"It's sometimes difficult to separate writing about the environment from being an advocate and activist but I manage most of the time," said Mr. Chevalier, a long time Weston resident who was recently appointed as Assistant Editor of Electrifying Times, a national magazine dedicated to electric vehicles.
The magazine was started as a newsletter five years ago by Oregon electric motorcycle builder Bruce Meland and now features glossy color artwork and sponsors such as General Motors and Toyota. The current issue features not only urban commuter cars but also sports cars and racing vehicle powered by electricity.
"We're trying to get the word out about these vehicles of the future and we're hoping that once we build an audience one of the large publishing companies will take us under their wing," said Mr. Chevalier. "There is a core group of electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts and it's growing quickly." During a recent talk about transportation and environmental issues Mr. Chevalier traded opinions and quips with fellow Staples graduate (class of 1970) Jim Motavalli, now editor of Norwalk based, "E The Environmental Magazine". Mr. Motavalli is also a syndicated automobile columnist and author of a book on the environmental future of the auto industry that will be published later this year by the Sierra Club and Random House. The two were joined by South Norwalk Electric Works (SNEW) Master Electrician Ed Bolton who brought along that company's electric powered Ford pickup truck.
"The big news is that Toyota is bringing out a small electric vehicle called the Prius later this year. They've already sold more than ten thousand in Japan at about seventeen thousand dollars each and will probably sell them for about that here," said Mr. Motovalli. "Hybrid vehicles (gas/electric) and fuel cells will bring the real breakthroughs early in the next century. Mercedes Benz plans to produce one hundred thousand fuel cell powered cars in two thousand and four 2004. They'll us hydrogen to produce electricity and give off clean water as a byproduct."
In the electric car field today selling 10,000 cars is the equivalent of having a number one record on the hit parade. After all, the mighty General Motors, after hundreds of millions in research and development has managed to put only about 500 of its EV1 electric vehicles into consumer's hands. Ford and Chrysler also sell electric vehicles, primarily to commercial users such as SNEW and their sales are measured in the hundreds and thousands as well.
"It's really a marketing issue," said Mr. Chevalier. "People think that the EV's are expensive and inconvenient, particularly when gas is cheap and plentiful. Like Jim says, the hybrid and fuel cell vehicles will help to change that perception. In addition, stricter clean air standards and rising gas costs, which are inevitable, will convince a lot of people to consider them as well."
Electric cars are more expensive to buy, unless the manufacturers are selling them at a loss, such as General Motors and Toyota are doing. If the batteries go the replacement cost is huge, as much as $20,000, one of the
reasons most EV's are being leased rather than sold right now. There are advantages along the way, however. The cost per mile to run one is about three cents, compared to close to thirty cents for a conventional vehicle. The electric motors are maintenance free, there is no exhaust system to repair and there is virtually no pollution.
"Small electric cars or even hybrid sport utilities would be excellent for commuters in towns like Fairfield, Westport and Norwalk," said Mr. Motovalli. "The big stumbling block at the moment is the lack of charging apparatus at the train stations. If those were in place people could leave their cars plugged in all day while they're in the city." That lack of a fueling infrastructure is one of the factors holding back the more wide spread use of EV's. Their 100-mile range and eight-hour charging time with conventional electrical outlets makes them impractical for interstate travel right now.
At the same time they are perfect for commercial applications and are even available from some rental car companies in California and Florida. They work well in urban or suburban setting and w here a company has a regular and limited service area. That's why SNEW and several other Connecticut utility companies are using them. They are also being tried out to shuttle commuters back and forth to some train stations in the state.
"We are very happy with our electric vehicles," said Mr. Bolton. "We have the truck, a car and an electric bicycle that we're evaluating for use by our meter readers. We have a charging station at our plant by the train station in South Norwalk and it works out very well for us." So, what's it like to ride in an EV? Surprisingly normal but somehow eerie is the best way to describe the experience.
From the outside Mr. Bolton's truck looks like any other parked on Main Street. Under the hood there is maze of tubing, wires, plus plastic and aluminum castings that doesn't look much different than what you'd find in a onventional vehicle. The batteries are hidden away under the body andinstead of a place to pump gas in the back there's an outlet in the front for plugging in to an electrical source.
The eerie part comes when Mr. Bolton turns the key and nothing appears to happen. You have to look closely to see that the, "On", light on the dash is glowing. There's no starter motor cranking over and none of the engine ibration you experience in a regular truck.
The silence continues when you pull away from the curb. Other than a slight, "whine", from under the hood and some road noise there is nothing to hear except the radio. Maybe this is what it sounds like when you're driving in a Rolls Royce. Performance seems normal on local Westport streets and Mr. Bolton says the truck will cruise along the highway at regular speeds, at the expense of some loss of driving range.
"Ford made it as much like any other truck as they could, said Mr. Chevalier. "That's really the whole point, to make the experience as normal as possible, to make the source of power essentially transparent." Electrifying Times and E magazine are available in many local bookstores and they can be found on the Internet at

Age: 27
Height: 5'9"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green
Destiny/Occupation: Travelling Magician
Description: Riya, like most people with magic, is taller than average. A travelling magician and sometime-thief, she specializes in illusion magic, and is more powerful than she thinks. She wears her hair in six braids that start at her forehead and hang to just above her shoulders, and her favourite colour is yellow. She travels with a small wagon that holds her tent and the tools of her trade drawn by a bright yellow donkey.
The wagon is also bright yellow, with green spirals painted on the sides. When she stops for the night, she spells the wagon to be a dull brown, so it doesn't attract attention. She has to cover the donkey with a blanket to hide him, since she made a mistake when casting the spell to turn him yellow, and can't turn him back. When she's set up at fairgrounds, she spells the tent to match the wagon and donkey, though it's usually brown. The donkey doesn't have a name, as it is easily identifiable as the only bright yellow donkey in Ohicink.
Riya herself typically wears a gray or other neutral coloured, sleeveless tunic that comes to just above her waist, and loose-fitting black trousers that go down to her knees. She wears black leather boots that cover her calves and lace up the sides when performing, and soft black leather walking shoes when traveling. Riya always wears a calve-length jacket with wide sleeves that flare out at the wrists. The jacket is open at the front, and has embroidery around all the edges. When she's traveling, the jacket is light brown with green spirals. When she's performing it is, as you might expect, bright yellow with green spirals.

Antique meets Contemporary
About Us
remarkable exhibition of contemporary and antique jewellery exploring
the timeless themes of power and politics, life and death, laughter
and love.
Lighter Side
Jewellery designed to make you smile! Felieke van der Leest combines
her training as a gold and silversmith, her childhood love of crochet
and needlework and her passion for animals (she grew up next to
a zoo) to create her colourful, surreal jewellery. Little plastic
animals are adorned with tiny crocheted clothes and their own jewels
or embellishments – from Emperor Penguin Freddie adorned with
a Polar Bear Claw pendant, to a lion cub with a gold saucepan hat
and an extravagant gold ruff for a mane, or the mother polar bear
having a baby! Felieke also makes quirky crocheted charm bracelets,
which are shown alongside their antique equivalent, traditionally
hung with charms to remind the owner of happy times or holidays.Lindsey
Mann's childhood was spent surrounded by her dad's deconstructed
collection of gadgets and mechanical or motorized 'things'
– bits of which crept into the house and mingled with everyday
belongings. This influence can be seen in her charming brooches
and necklaces, which combine patterned aluminium, precious metals
and found materials; some are 'nonsensical mechanical inventions',
all of them, she hopes, trigger vague or familiar memories. For
David Bielander, 'wearers of jewellery move in the open, they
are the exhibitions, they replace the wall, they are part of the
work'. His 'jewellery' takes the shape of lips,
a pearl pig, scampi polonaise or shiny black slugs – to be
worn as and where the wearer chooses. Light, humorous, spontaneous
– his aim through his work is to 'provoke astonished
reactions, make signals, create wonder, or simply make someone smile'.
Examples of antique jewellery based on animal forms show the lighter-hearted
side of life in the past – with fun pieces such as a cockerel
tie pin set with diamonds and enamel, circa 1890.
& Then runs from 17th July to 28th September 2008.

Malayalam full movie Chakravalam Chuvannappol
Chakravaalam Chuvannappol (1983) is a Malayalam dramatic movie. Starring Prem Nazeer ,Mohanlal ,Mammootty ,Jagathy Sreekumar ,CI Paul ,Kaval Surendran ,Sumalatha ,Vanitha ,Rajanikanth ,PK Radhadevi, Bindu Lekha ,Baby Reena & others. Directed by Sasi Kumar. Chakravaalam Chuvannappol means when the Horizon gets red.
The Mammootty Movie says about both revenge and sacrifice. The climax thread has a very good message. But lets look another important aspect called the eye donation.Individuals who have been blind since birth or early childhood, in contrast, do not experience the same shift in identity from the "sighted self" to the "blind self" as do those who lose their sight later in life .
However, those who are congenitally blind must still master the same specialized skills and cope effectively with negative societal messages about blindness . Factors such as educational opportunities, degree of usable vision, and expectations of family and friends can powerfully shape a blind child or adolescent's attitudes toward, and acceptance of, blindness. As with adult rehabilitation, a solid measure of individuals' attitudes toward blindness can be employed to evaluate educational systems for blind youth and to tailor programs to their psychosocial needs.
Eye donation is donating the eyes after a person's death. Eyes are very valuable part of a human being, which should not be wasted either by burning or burying the body. Donation of the eyes gives sight to two corneally blind persons, enabling them to come out of their dark and dreary life into a life full of colors, a life where they can see and enjoy this beautiful world. "Eyes are a precious gift to a person. But the same eyes bring misery when misused or when they are lost. A wise man utilizes that gift while alive and on death too".
Well, if we take a look at this Mammootty Movie story line we can see a very loving father and a very loving daughter, Latha. He is Doctor Menon. He is an eye specialist and running a specialty clinic. His sun in law Suresh is working in a private company and used to travel a lot. Even if he is running a private clinic he never bagged much money from the patients this gave him fame and honour in society.
But even if he do so much of this charity, god wasn't that much merciful to him. His only daughter Latha is a cancer patient. He came to know about this after her marriage. Even if it's diagnosed it was too late. Since the medicines cannot do much on her, he decided to keep it as secret from her, so that he can look at her smiling face till her death.
Now the couple is so happy and they are having a good time each other. Days passed one day a blind named Vasu came to see Menon. He came along with all the money he had to do the surgey on him. He carried a sharp knife along with him, on Menon's curiosity he revealed the suspense. He had a younger sister named Prabha. Vasu become blind eventually, so she take good care of him like a mother.
When they were living good with the money from her homely tailoring the dark destiny showed the brutal face again. One day she found hanged on the ceiling writing a photo and a letter. She loved a an unknown guy, and he had promised to marry her. But he was black at heart. As usual he deceived her, she committed suicide realizing she is being cheated.
She had left a photo, so Vasu now want the vision back in order to see who he is and to kill him. So he carried the knife with him. When Doctor Menon looked the photo he was shocked, it was Suresh. Menon tactically shread one part of the photo into pieces and put in bin. Finally Latha came to know about her sickness and died on the very next day, Doctor menon give her eyes to Vasu. Now the Mammootty Movie stretches to climax.
What will Vasu do when he see the photo? Or Will he change his mind? Find out, watch full movie "Chkravalam Chuvannappol"

France to introduce significant changes affecting large companies and top management, to improve current anti-bribery system.
The French Parliament is expected to enact "Sapin II" on transparency, anti-corruption and economic modernization in 2016.
With this reform, France intends to improve prevention, detection and punishment of corruption in France and abroad, by introducing significant changes into the current French anti-bribery system.
These changes are broadly inspired by the systems already in place in the UK and US.
In a nutshell
A binding obligation upon large companies and their top management to prevent risks of corruption
The bill would impose a legal obligation upon companies and their senior management to prevent bribery and corruption risks, requiring they adopt the following anti-corruption internal procedures:
- A code of conduct that defines and illustrates prohibited acts and behaviors
- An internal whistleblowing system to allow employees to report acts or behaviors in violation of the company's code of conduct
- A risk mapping (regularly updated and based on the business sectors and geographical areas concerned)
- Due diligence procedures for the company's clients and suppliers
- Internal or external accounting control systems
- Training programs for managers and individuals most likely to be exposed to corruption risk
- Disciplinary sanctions for breach of internal rules
Under the bill's current version, this obligation applies to (i) companies with over 500 employees, and (ii) companies belonging to a group with over 500 employees and a consolidated annual revenue of at least €100 million. This obligation also applies to the companies' top management.
A new anti-corruption enforcement body
As part of the bill's innovation, a new anti-corruption body (the "new Body", which was named Agence Nationale de Prévention et de Détection de la Corruption, or ANPDC during March 30th press conference of the French Minister of Finance) will replace the existing SCPC, an autonomous inter-ministerial structure attached to the Ministry of Justice, which was created in 1993 to coordinate anti-bribery prevention and enforcement in France. The new Body will have more powers.
This new Body will act under the common supervision of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Budget. The French President will nominate the Body's director for a non-renewable six-year term.
Under the bill, the ANPDC will be charged with different missions, which can be summarized as follows:
- Issuing guidelines to help both public organizations and economic operators to fulfill their obligation to adopt internal procedures for preventing and detecting corruption;
- Controlling the adequacy of internal procedures public organizations and economic operators have in place, and reporting the quality and efficiency of such internal procedures to the public authority in charge
- Monitoring compliance with the French blocking statute (Law No. 68-678 of July 26, 1968) in relation to foreign compliance procedures, upon request of the Prime Minister
- And in general: ensuring centralization and communication of the information; participating to the administrative coordination; and supporting public actors and economic operators
To fulfill these missions, the ANPDC will be invested with extensive investigating powers. For example, the ANPDC will be empowered to:
- Interview any person of its choice
- Obtain documents of all kinds
- Conduct on-site searches and verifications
Regarding its administrative sentencing power, the ANPDC will have the option to issue formal notices to companies that are deemed to have insufficient internal procedures in place to prevent corruption.
The ANPDC will also have the power, through its Sanctions Committee to (i) send compliance injunctions to non-compliant companies, in order to force the companies to implement effective compliance programs within no more than five years, and (ii) impose fines of up to €200,000 for individuals and €1 million for legal entities, in addition possible publicity measures.
A criminal penalty of "mandatory compliance"
Inspired by the US system of monitorship, the bill creates a penalty of "mandatory compliance" for companies convicted of acts of corruption.
This additional sanction aims to ensure that sanctioned companies modify their behavior and implement effective compliance programs at their own expense, within a certain court-defined time limit (which in any case cannot exceed five years).
The ANPDC would control the company's fulfilment of this obligation, and would report the actions undertaken to the Public Prosecutor.
Failure to comply with this obligation could itself be criminally sanctioned by a maximum of two years' imprisonment and a fine of up to €30,000 for individuals, and for legal entities, up to the amount of the fine applicable to the acts of corruption they have been convicted of.
The possibility for legal entities to enter into criminal settlements with the authorities
A first draft of the bill intended to bring a major innovation which consisted in the possibility for entities accused of corruption to enter into criminal settlements (called "Convention de compensation d'intérêt public") with the French authorities, as long as prosecution had not been set in motion.
Under such settlement agreement, the Public Prosecutor would have been able to propose the accused entity to:
- Pay a fine (capped at 30% of the annual average turnover over for the past three years) to the French Treasury; and/or
- Implement a compliance program to ensure the fulfillment of the required anti-corruption internal measures (see above, i.e., code of conduct, internal whistleblowing system, etc.), under the supervision of the ANPDC, for a period that could not have exceeded three years
As the French State Council issued a negative opinion of such proposed measure, the last draft of the bill presented to the French Government no longer includes the criminal settlement procedure. It is, however, expected that the procedure (or a revised version) will be reintroduced in the text of the bill via parliament amendment. This will thus need to be confirmed.
Calendar / next steps
- The bill was presented to the French government on March 30, 2016
- France's Finance Minister, Michel Sapin, will now submit the bill successively to the French Parliament (National Assembly and Senate) for discussion
- Parliament is expected to enact the final version of the bill this year
However, many French companies already subject to the provisions of the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act did not wait for the enactment of Sapin II bill to begin designing and implementing compliance policies and procedures. These entities will have now to determine if their preventative measures satisfy the requirements of the new French law.

Hello, nice person.
Thank you for waiting so patiently for this latest update.
In the last update (here), Husband was in Mexico, and I was struggling without a carer, fighting with the complicated ordering systems for my medical supplies, and trying to fight off a persistent infection.
Things have changed a little, but not as much as I might have liked.
The good news is that I've managed to do lots of fun things – Thanksgiving was great fun (more on that another time), and I'm looking forward to Christmas. I've been out a couple of times, shopping in our local area, enjoying the festive sights, sounds and smells, and taking advantage of the dry weather by walking in our local park (really just an excuse to drink hot chocolate in the cafe), and have had a few visitors at home, as well as a few Skype 'visitors'. There has been payback (there is ALWAYS payback), so I've spent the rest of my time lying down, reading, working on my crochet blankets, Christmas crafts, and snuggling with the adorable fluffball.
The infection around my jejunostomy tube (the feeding tube that goes straight into my small intestine) is still determinedly present, despite three courses of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. The most recent swab didn't grow anything, possibly because the antibiotics reduced the number of bacteria enough that they couldn't be measured in the lab. My GP considers this 'case closed' despite the fact that my tube site is still hot, red, swollen, painful and oozing large amounts of foul-smelling pus. The smell bothers me more than anything else. The pus is ruining my clothes, leaving them wet, stained and sticky; combined with the smell, this makes me feel extremely self conscious, and reluctant to be near other people, even my husband. Feeling so unattractive and dirty is making me even more isolated than usual. I have had contact with a few close friends over the last few weeks, but I can't help worrying that they are repulsed by the smell. I certainly am!
I was scheduled to have bladder surgery next week, but have cancelled it for now. It's not just that it's too close to Christmas; rather, it's too much medical stuff, regardless of the time of year.
There are times when this medical roller coaster ride feels too much; too fast; too painful; too difficult. I am overwhelmed by the desperate urge to get away from all of it.
"Let me off! I need to get off!"
I feel like ripping off all the patches, dressings, splints, tubes and monitors. I want to throw away all the medications and supplies and just forget about everything health-related. I'm so fed up of having to have all this stuff in my thoughts All The Time, and of the constant reminders that I'm not 'normal'. The boxes and boxes of supplies and medications, the equipment that clogs up all my plug sockets, the tubes and lines and scars that mark my body might as well be neon signs, flashing negativity into my mind. I have to shut it out, and run and run and run, away from it all.
I know that all this medical gumph is what keeps me alive and medically stable (ish), and most of the time I'm extremely grateful for that, but the feeling of panic doesn't come from a place of logic and reason, and the more I try to rationalise it, the louder the volume of the panic-beats. So I've cancelled the surgery. I've also stopped taking the least important of my medications and stopped answering the telephone. Silly, I know, but it's the only way I feel able to reclaim some control. I've promised myself that I'll get back on top of it all after the holidays, but for now I am being kind to myself, and not piling on the guilt about being a bad patient and not taking care of my body properly.
The problems with the carers (I'll refer to them as PAs – personal assistants – from now on) are ongoing, and I'm sure that's not helping with my feelings of being out of control.
Together with my care agency, I've been trying to recruit a couple of PAs to work 32 hours per week between them – during the day, Monday to Friday, with flexible hours. Perhaps naively, I thought that there would be lots of people keen to work for a few hours a week, within school hours, especially as there are so many young families in this area, but that certainly hasn't been the case so far. We have been advertising for almost 18 months, and in that time, we have received almost 100 applications.
Of these initial applications, about half were rejected immediately – mainly because they gave the impression that they were applying for every job listed on the site, in every employment category. The remainder were contacted for interview, but we were only able to get hold of 14 of them, and four of those didn't turn up for interview. Of those that did turn up, two were not suitable for the job.
And then there were eight.
The eight successful candidates were formally offered the job, and were booked onto the 5-day specialist training course.
One candidate accepted another job before starting her training, one went AWOL part way through the training (we later found out that she had returned to her home country), and two failed the training.
And then there were four.
One completed and passed the training, but then stated that she hadn't realised what the job involved, despite having had two interviews, a meeting with me (during which she was shown around my home and given a detailed run-down of some of the regular tasks), and approximately 35 hours of training.
And then there were three.
One worked with me full-time for a week, and did a great job. I felt very positive about her work ethic, liked her personally, and felt that she was picking up the individual training from me very well. But she resigned without notice at the end of her first week, stating that the agency was too disorganised.
And then there were two.
One worked with me for nine months and then moved on to another client within the same agency.
And then there was one.
The last candidate worked for me for four months, but called in sick with less than an hour's notice on 20% of the days that she was scheduled to work, and then went off-radar and no-one ever heard from her again.
And then there were none.

Join us at Amber Waves Farm for a fun, creative, educational and delicious workshop about using plants grown on the farm fields to naturally dye silk and cotton fabrics. Following the activity, we will enjoy wood-fired oven pizza pies made by Carissa's Breads with organic vegetable toppings from the farm.
Hilary Leff, founder of Indigo Jane, will guide us through the wonderful and beautiful world of using plants and flowers to naturally dye fabrics. After an introduction and tutorial, workshop attendees will cut flowers and plants from the field and use them to dye silk scarves and kids cotton t-shirts to take home.
While the fabrics are setting the dye color, we will enjoy a delicious lunch of wood-fired oven pizza made by Carissa Waechter of Carissa's Breads using Amber Waves Farm organic wheat and vegetables.
About Hilary and Indigo Jane
Hilary Leff has a dye garden on Long Island where she grows hollyhocks, marigolds, hibiscus and a variety of other flowers which yield beautiful colors. Indigo Jane grew out of a desire to create seasonal, local textiles using only natural, botanical dyes. Hilary also forages for walnuts for browns and grays at nearby farms. The cashmere is from a small mill in Nepal, the cotton is hand woven Khadi cotton from southern India.

Phase Two
Derek Potter
Former actor and agent, now reactivated
Public Bio
Potter began his acting career at the University of British Columbia in his senior year, when a student director recruited him to play the role of Willie Lohman in her thesis production of "Death of a Salesman". Discovering that he enjoyed the thespian life, Potter began looking for opportunities to use his natural abilities and soon was starring in regional productions of Chekhov, Shakespeare, Robertson Davies, and others. At the age of 25, he took part in a tour of Eastern Europe as Captain Miles Gloriosus in Sondheim's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." During the tour, he was spotted by an agent who convinced him to move to California and take a shot at the big time in television. After appearances on "The Outer Limits" and guest spots on several soap operas, he auditioned for and won the title role in "Rex Stone: Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R." This role catapulted him suddenly into the public eye. His personification of the suave but strong Rex Stone won him admirers and fans, but little critical acclaim. Since the show's cancellation, he has appeared regularly as a guest on various prime time dramas and sitcoms, including "Mandy and Me", "The Repairman", and a recurring role on the hit series "Our House". He regularly appears at fan conventions and is rumored to be working on a memoir of his time in the limelight.
Potter's first wife, childhood sweetheart Jane Simkins, died of lung cancer in 1974, and his brief marriage to starlet Teresa Bonaventure ended amicably after 8 months. His daughter from the first marriage, Amanda Jane Potter, is a well-known visual artist whose work has appeared in galleries from Los Angeles to Prague.
Potter was recruited as a courier in 1964 while rehearsing for a theatrical tour of Eastern Europe. His larger-than-life stage persona and charming personal manner gave him easy access to make contacts throughout the tour and he was eventually made a full agent. "Rex Stone: Agent of D.A.N.G.E.R." was a departure for the intelligence community — using a shot-on-location spy show as cover for actual intelligence operations. At the height of the show's popularity, near the end of shooting for the second season, his wife Jane was kidnapped by <nemesis>, and Potter took off on his own to rescue her, against direct orders from his handler. Potter blames exposure to toxic chemicals during her captivity for the lung cancer that later claimed her life. Although he returned for the second part of the final season of the show, and participated in the made-for-TV movie, his relationship with the agency has never entirely recovered. Indeed, he might have faded from the game entirely if it weren't for the fact that his nemesis, <nemesis>, is still at large. In fact, <nemesis> is known to have recently purchased a large canvas by Amanda Jane Potter at an auction in Europe… Derek sees this as a personal message and threat, and will go along with the agency's requirements, and even the barely-hidden condescension of his younger colleagues, because he thinks he may get another shot at <nemesis> somewhere along the road.
He will be patient for now, but eventually Potter will strike out on his own to neutralize the threat, if necessary.
SUBPLOTS: Obsolete, Nemesis, Dependent (the perceived threat to his daughter)

DOE Calls BS On V-Vehicles?
Why is this company so secretive? My guess it's because there is little substance behind the smoke and mirrors. We've all seen this movie over and over (and over) again with all the hype over so-called green cars.
The idea of building cars that have less of an environmental impact is sound and SHOULD be something the industry focuses on. The problem is that any time you have a paradigm shift that involves large sums of money you get a lot of charlatans, prima donnas and the like.
They promise the moon and the stars and deliver nothing of the sort. In fact, they generally poison the well which has a tendency to ruin it for everyone else.
Anyway, I think the Department of Energy made a good call on this one, cutting losses at $6m rather than potentially blowing $320m+.
The classic list of lines include:
1. The check is in the mail.
2. I'll still respect you in the morning.
3. [Too crude for this blog]
To which we can add:
4. I'll build "x" cars per year which get "y" mpg and will create "z" jobs.
With x, y and z being grossly inflated (and conveniently round) figures of questionable basis.
Labels: department of energy, doe, v-vehicles

Our consultative model to solving your problems
Brooke is a recognised leader in mastering the most complex challenges organisations face globally. We're unquestionably a top-tier partner for organisations wanting to be the best in their industry.
How do we do this?
We don't do this through a "cookie-cutter" approach. Instead we draw the tools and techniques appropriate to your problem from our extensive armoury and apply them through the BROOKE 5 stage approach:
- Diagnose the Problem: We first focus on understanding your organisation and the distinctive nature of your problem. We identify root causes through detailed review and analysis of how things actually work, not how they should.
- Define Success:Every business is different and has different goals. We help you to define what success would look like in your business, which might not always be so obvious. We define success in terms of the measurable business results you need.
- Design Solutions: We then utilise the brightest minds and work across all business elements to design a solution that will be integrated and enduring. This includes processes, technology, governance, controls, people and cultural elements. In particular, our expertise in human factors distinguishes our solutions. Rather than treating people as an afterthought or as flawed robots, we utlilise proven behavioural models to understand the links between attitude and behaviour in the workplace. We put people at the centre of our solutions, which is why our solutions work. We always consider a range of solutions and work with you to find the best option in terms of costs, risks and rewards.
- Test and Validate: We move our solutions into the real world as quickly as possible to test, develop and prove them under controlled conditions. This avoids "paralysis by analysis" and endless conceptual debates. We are pragmatic, not precious. If an aspect of the solution design doesn't work in practice we will change it until it does. We ensure the solution works before your organisation commits to it.
- Activate and Embed: You and your organisation have been involved along the whole journey to date and together we have built capability and readiness along the way. The activation strategy and plan has been developed in parallel with the solution design and now takes the organisation on a phased change journey in which each phase is a complete and holistic step towards the end state solution. The solution is embedded when it has become the new norm and the business results are on target.

Presenting Skype for Business
Microsoft is bringing it all together with Skype for business – the familiar Skype that consumers love with the trusted business communication platform – Lync. Skype and Lync are two of the most popular communication platforms globally with over 100 million people currently using Lync for work, whilst Skype sees 50 billion minutes of traffic every month – a third of the world's long distance traffic.
Microsoft first announced in November 2014 that the next version of Lync would become Skype for Business. On March 17th 2015, they unveiled the technical preview of the Skype for Business client, which gives customers an opportunity to trial Skype for Business and begin preparing for their deployment.
The new Skype for Business clients are available on Windows and Windows Phone as well as rival operating systems like Android, iOS and OS X, will be accompanied by an update from Lync Server 2013. The Lync backend for commercial Office 365 customers will be updated by Microsoft, as is the norm for the subscription-based, semi-cloud-based plans. It will transform the way people communicate by giving users the opportunity to connect with colleagues and anyone who has a Skype login.
The Skype for Business client, Skype for Business Server and the new service in Office 365 will begin rolling out in April 2015.
Thanks to John from Advantage Business Systems for this contribution.

Professor Debra F Laefer of New York University's Center for Urban Science and Progress (NYU CUSP) has released the world's densest urban aerial laser scanning (lidar) dataset.
At over 300 points per square meter, the scanning is more than 30 times more dense than typical lidar data and is an order of magnitude denser than any other aerial lidar dataset. The multi-layered dataset enables new opportunities in exploration and modeling. It also sets a new standard for what can be collected and used by cities around the world.
Dr Laefer, professor of urban informatics at NYU CUSP and affiliated with the Tandon School of Engineering's Department of Civil and Urban Engineering, was the founder and former head of University College Dublin's Urban Modeling Group in Dublin, Ireland.
The dataset was collected and processed as part of Professor Laefer's European Research Council (ERC) US$1.7m research grant 'Rethinking Tunneling in Urban Neighborhoods' (RETURN), with additional funding from Science Foundation Ireland.
Using techniques developed by Professor Laefer's research team, the dataset provides high resolution lidar data for a 1.5km² study area of Dublin's historic city center. The data covers not only the horizontal surfaces (e.g. roofs and roads) of the built environment, as seen in traditional lidar projects, but it also provides dense vertical data including the capture of building facades.
The work builds on a previously publically-released dataset (aerial laser scanning and imagery) and more than a decade of research. Permission is currently being sought to acquire similar data for New York City.
"A city-scale dataset of this level can be applied to many projects to improve services," said Laefer. "This extraordinary level of data quality, combined with open access through NYU's Spatial Data Repository, will help pioneer new possibilities for visualisation and analyses by urban engineers, civic agencies, and entrepreneurs trying to identify and ultimately solve urban challenges of all kinds."

text: A New Political Monument Part 1 Project 2015 Ella Clarke University of Cambridge Cambridge UK The fire in March 2013 that gutted Walworth town hall provided the opportunity to relocate Southwark council's headquarters to a prominent building that recognises their significance, and to consider what the expression of a civic building should be. In addition to council facilities - one stop shop, offices and debating chamber - the plan also includes an extension to the adjoining library and a museum that was incorporated in the original building. A 'political core forms the heart of the new proposal, around which other activities occur, creating a legible framework in which a broad range of civic activities may take place. In addition to the creation of a strong political presence and spatial orientation, the core also provides a sense of permanence through its monumental form, a theme continued in the material choices in other elements of the building. A reaction to early contextual observations, including the borough's rich architectural language, it is hoped that this monolithic building will provide an enduring democratic presence in a context where opportunities for political involvement have been increasingly eroded.¬¬ Ella Clarke Tutor(s)

The Two "M's" You Can't Ignore: "Mobile" and "Millennials"
If you would have told me 10 years ago that everyone would be walking around with screens that allowed them to connect with every person everywhere at any time, I would have told you were crazy. But today that radical idea has become a commonplace reality. People are increasingly mobile — in fact, 77 percent of Americans now have a smartphone.1 But it's not just a new hip trend anymore; it's become a differentiating factor for businesses that have been able to adapt. What's more, the Millennial generation has adopted mobility and come to rely on it. Eighty-seven percent say that their smartphone never leaves their side, day or night.1 Millennials' habits and their major influence on the market are already having significant impact on the success of businesses— and will continue to do so. So, as marketers, how do you take advantage of this phenomenon? With the convergence of mobile and everyday life, marketers are presented with the golden ticket— a platform that reaches more individuals than ever in an increasingly engaging and targeted way. And what's more, Millennials are not only one of your most powerful markets, but they also have significant influence over other groups. So how do you adapt to find the most success? Focus on how you can better serve the two "M's:" Mobile and Millennial.
Be Mobile
• Start with Search
The majority of online interactions with a business begin with a search. "Google it" has become a commonplace command, which highlights the influence search has on finding information and making decisions. Think about your paid search strategy and optimize your website for search to make sure that you're easily found in a mobile search.
• Leverage Social Media
Though Millennials love their Instagram filters, social media isn't limited to gimmicky entertainment anymore. All generations are on social networks, and each day social media provides a significant access point into people's lives. Each day people spend 20 percent of their mobile minutes on Facebook or Instagram.2 Think about how you can leverage paid advertising capabilities on these already prominent platforms.
• Think Video
Streaming video on social networks, streaming services and apps is beginning to overtake traditional TV consumption. As a result, think about how your dealership can allocate effort and investment on this emerging tactic.
• Watch Your Website
If customers are finding you on mobile, make sure the mobile experience from search, social or apps integrates with your website to form a seamless experience. Focus on responsive websites and easily accessible information designed for mobile consumption.
Get With Millennials
• Convenience and Flexibility
Buying a car should be as easy as buying a cup of coffee. Navigating the complexities of buying a car is a lot more difficult than deciding between a venti soy macchiato and a chai tea latte, but Millennials don't want it to feel like it is. They want to be armed with the information they need to make the decision, and they'll decide where they buy based on the ease of access to that information.
• Ready for E-commerce
With the rise of Amazon-like purchasing, consumers have come to expect ease and convenience, and buying a car is no different. Seventy-one percent of car buyers already use mobile during the purchase process, and 50 percent of car buyers would consider an online purchase now or in the future. While your dealership doesn't need to ditch the brick and mortar, thinking about merging e-commerce with your in-store experience is essential. With all the changes in the industry and the challenges of running a dealership you have to worry about, it's easy to focus on "right now" instead of the future. But if you fail to focus on these emerging trends, Millennials — and eventually everyone else— will be giving a thumbs up to your competition instead of your dealership. Dig deeper into how Millennials and mobile can influence your dealership's success by listening to the webinar. 1Mary Meeker Internet Trends Report and Pew Research, January, 2017 2 ComScore Key Measures and Mobile Metrix US
