text: Solving River Conflicts Boots Allen To deal with overcrowding on the Snake River between Grand Teton National Park and Bridger-Teton National Forest, the BLM transferred management of a 13-mile stretch of river to Teton County. A new management plan for the river has greatly reduced traffic on the stream, and improved the river experience for all users. Douglas Barnes photo 21st Century Approaches to Preserving Quality Experiences on the Water Data from numerous blue ribbon trout streams across the West suggests that fish are no smaller or less plentiful than they were several decades ago. In some cases, there are more trout and the size ratio is healthier. Fish may have been easier to catch back then, but our tackle and techniques have improved. Fly fishers who have similarly evolved can hook into just as many as anglers did several decades ago.But less crowded streams? That's another issue. Tales of angler-driven congestion abound these days: 80 driftboat launches in three hours on Section A of the Green River; 120 boat trailers parked at Three Dollar Bridge on the Madison; two or more rods to a riffle on the Provo. Many of us have seen it. Almost all of us have heard about it. There are signs that the coming years will not be any better.Social media, films, magazines, and online publications tout seldom-fished waters and high fish numbers on prized streams. I am as much to blame as anyone. Going hand in hand with this media blitz is that fly fishing might be growing right now after several years of stagnation or decline.But these are just the angler-driven causes. Increasingly, trout streams in the West are plied by a multitude of other river enthusiasts including rafters, kayakers, and stand-up paddleboarders (SUPs). This is not occurring only on popular urban fly water like Idaho's Boise River and the Clark Fork (flowing through Missoula, Montana). It is also happening in quaint resort destinations that previously focused on fly fishing. Congested streams do not just take away from a quality experience. There are impacts on wildlife and riparian ecosystems. It can tax facilities at launches and the roads used to access them. All of this creates tension among users. Arguments coming to fisticuffs are not unheard of. To minimize these outcomes, a variety of stakeholders are coming together to solve conflicts on streams where multiple use is firmly established. Anglers vs. other UsersAngler-angler conflict resolution is well documented. Previous management efforts on Montana's Madison, Beaverhead, and Big Hole rivers are often heralded as effective historic examples. They involved the public, commercial entities, nonprofits, and management agencies. Resolving congestion issues on these streams was difficult and time-consuming. Outcomes have not necessarily been 100 percent successful due to the number of stakeholders. Most involved, however, agree that the plans established are at least a good first step, if not an outright good result. Solving conflicts where fly fishers are just one user group is a different animal. All of us desire less traffic and a better experience on the water, yet not all are using a stream in the same manner. A fly fisher may park a drift boat on a choice riffle that must be floated over by a scenic rafter or SUP to avoid downstream obstacles. That same fly fisher might need to navigate directly over a whitewater feature being used by kayakers.A wading angler might make a long hike to fish a productive side channel, only to find it occupied by drift boats or perhaps a novice paddleboarder attempting to practice in easier water. Generational differences also exist. Those who have fished a river for decades often consider congestion levels differently than those who have only been on it for a few years. All of this creates tension.But some plans have been credited with stemming congestion and the problems it brings on multiple-use streams. Oregon's Deschutes River and the Smith in Montana are often heralded as successful models. Not every group got everything they wanted in these cases and they are far from perfect. Nevertheless, addressing conflicts on rivers like these is becoming increasingly important because they are occurring more and more with each passing year. And not all rivers are the same. No matter the specific traits of a river, success depends on a partnership with a wide swath of stakeholders. These partnerships typically involve those plying the river on a regular basis, local advocacy groups, and a facilitator who will act as a management entity or assist in establishing a management agreement. Resort Town DilemmasSmall Western communities are interesting cases. The population base, often in the tens of thousands, would not seem large enough to create noticeable congestion and the conflicts it brings. But some are popular vacation destinations drawing hundreds of thousands to millions of visitors during the summer months. Many of them are looking for at least one day on the river during their vacation.These resort towns also draw younger residents seeking an active outdoor lifestyle in the new place they call home. Skiing, climbing, and mountain biking are popular pursuits. So is time on the water fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just taking in the scenery and the wildlife. Jackson, Wyoming is a prime example of how resort communities address multi-use river conflicts. Over 3.5 million visitors hit the vast swath of nearby public lands each summer for a variety of pursuits. A good number of them are looking for fun on the Snake River, which bisects the valley. Fishing, whitewater trips, and scenic floats are the most common activities. The river is by no means a free-for-all. Much of the commercial outfitting occurs within Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) in the northern tier of the valley, and in Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) to the south. Both agencies maintain a strict permitting system. This helps keep commercial traffic at a desirable level.Squeezed between the park and the national forest is a 13-mile reach of the Snake that, while managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has historically been unpermitted. This made it popular with independent guides. Permitted outfitters used it on overflow days when space in BTNF and GTNP was exhausted. Both were equally drawn to its high fish count and average size of trout. It is also popular with local river enthusiasts due to its close proximity to valley communities, wildlife abundance, and stunning landscape.In the early 1990s, an average day on this section of stream might see a dozen or so watercraft. Stimulated by a growing community and surging tourism industry, traffic has grown dramatically with each passing year. By 2009, 90+ boats—scenic rafts, kayaks, SUPs, and drift boats—was a regular occurrence. Limited parking, long wait times at the put-in, and a dilapidated ramp were constant sources of hostility among those wanting to access the stream. Things were no longer tranquil on the water, or at the takeout downstream.Things reached such a boiling point with congestion and stressed facilities that the BLM threatened to close its Snake River parcels altogether. This spurred action by commercial interests, local river advocacy groups, and the public to find a solution. Access was the unifying issue, but they also wanted to address the causal problem—high usage rates. Both required a managing entity.This reach of river was out of the jurisdiction of other federal agencies. Few could envision federal entities like GTNP or BTNF expanding their scope of influence in a "local rights" state like Wyoming. County involvement, however, was viewed differently. Local control has support across a wide spectrum of political views in this part of the Rocky Mountain West.Teton County, through which most of the river flows, was already involved with certain parcels of land along the stream corridor. With the assistance of the Snake River Fund, BLM authority for this reach of stream was effectively transferred to Teton County. Transfer of other parcels on the Snake continues to this day. A referendum supported by many area nonprofits called for a Special Purpose Excise Tax to pay for much needed improvements to existing facilities. It passed overwhelmingly in the 2010 election.A Special Purpose Excise Tax passed in 2010 was part of a new management plan for the Snake, but the money has not yet been spent to repair and maintain the dirt boat ramp. Photo courtesy of Snake River Fund.The transfer, although costly and time-consuming, was the easy part. Management would be more difficult. With input from the community, the resulting Snake River Management Plan called for a permit fee system that would greatly limit the group most identified with increased traffic over a 12-year period—commercial outfitters. Despite their impact on employment and the local economy, this stakeholder group agreed to bear the full burden of reducing congestion.All scenic and fishing outfitters were reduced to fewer than half their original launches. Smaller, newer companies that were not defined as historical users could only draw from a first-come, first-served allotment pool that did not guarantee space on any given day. This rendered many of them financially not viable unless guides were willing to drive an hour or more to unpermitted water in other drainages. Some are doing just that.The management plan went into effect in 2015. Fees collected from the permit system are used to maintain facilities and fund county staff involved with supervising the accesses.Almost 10 years later, not all the tax funding from the 2010 election has been spent on the much-needed maintenance of the earthen boat ramp. The expanded parking area is yet to be completed. Nonetheless, almost all who use these sites agree the management plan is working. While river traffic will never be reduced to pre-2000 levels, congestion on the river has been noticeably reduced.The Teton RiverLess than 30 miles to the west, another stream in Idaho is just beginning to deal with conflict issues. The Teton River is framed by its namesake mountain range to the east and smaller ranges to the west and south. Like the Snake, there has been a dramatic increase in traffic driven by a burgeoning tourism economy and a growing community that values recreation opportunities and an outdoor lifestyle. While the Teton was originally the sole realm of fly fishers, other users—canoes, kayaks, and SUPs—now make up just as much or more of a never-ending flotilla most days during the summer.Outfitters, guides, and others in the valley began raising alarm about substantial traffic increases in 2014. Most complaints have been directed at Friends of the Teton River and the Teton Regional Land Trust, both local nonprofits most involved in issues of access and conservation on the stream and its tributaries. Worries range from safety and etiquette to crowded launch sites and impacts on wildlife. But the driving worry has always been the loss of quiet solitude.Gene Trump IllustrationThe first steps to address conflicts on the Teton occurred in the summer of 2018 when Friends of the Teton River invited Stephanie Horne, a graduate student at University of Montana's Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy, to study the issue. Her findings suggest that, while some in the community are adamantly opposed to any management (a sentiment echoed in many communities in a state with a reputation for fierce independence), there is a strong desire for relieving congestion-driven conflicts across a wide array of stakeholder groups.Who will be tasked with management and what form it will take remains to be seen. The Idaho Guide and Outfitter Licensing Board regulates commercial use, but they only have control of outfitters. The general public has unlimited access to the stream. This makes controlling traffic a bit trickier than on other streams where commercial activity dominates.Any form of regulation will be difficult in this community of 12,000. And it will take time. Teton County, Idaho (not to be confused with Wyoming's Teton County just over the border), is in flux politically and socially. A traditionally conservative community with a suspicion of outside regulation, changing demographics, and a diversifying economy are propelling it in a progressive direction. Even so, it is not quite at the point where the majority of the community is willing to trust an outside entity to fix the problem.As with the Snake River, the management entity that will ruffle the fewest feathers is the county. Others have suggested creating a stakeholders' commission with authority granted jointly by Teton County and the Idaho Fish and Game, the latter of which maintains a number of the access sites.Whatever direction the public takes, a successful plan will hinge on several factors. Tapping into lessons from other rivers, Horne suggests establishing a vision statement based on public input, and creating a plan that has clearly defined measurements and objectives. She also recommends conducting a recreational use capacity analysis to gauge what the river and its facilities can handle, and developing a means to address unregulated commercial activities such as guided kayak and SUP excursions. Lastly, she advises being timely with the planning process. Doing so, Horne says, maintains community support and the likelihood of success. These steps have worked on rivers throughout the country, and will probably work everywhere.*Boots Allen is a fly-fishing guide and writer who lives with his wife and two kids in Victor, Idaho.

City Agrees to Report Immigrant Arrests to Federal Agents
Officials in a cash-poor northeast Ohio City say they've agreed to report the arrests of immigrants who are in the country illegally after accepting federal grant money.
According to Cleveland.com, the Justice Department awarded East Cleveland more than $425,000 this week. The Justice Department says they gave special consideration to applicants that agreed to report immigrants in custody without proper documentation, and to allow immigration agents into jails.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions says 80% of law enforcement agencies receiving the grant have agreed to work with federal immigration agents.
ICE Asks Tech Companies to Help Them Track Visa Holders on Social Media
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials explained at a conference last week that they are hoping to develop algorithms that would assess potential threats posed by visa holders, and conduct social media surveillance of those deemed high risk. Microsoft, Deloitte and Motorola Solutions were among the companies in attendance.
They told tech companies last week that the department hopes to get automated notifications about any visa holders' social media activity. ICE already monitors some social media posts, but plans to expand its operation.
President Trump has since taking office repeated calls for "extreme vetting," ramping up those calls in the wake of terrorist attacks. The Trump administration has also sought to ban immigrants from certain countries.
Baltimore to Move Forward With Program to Provide Legal Assistance for Undocumented Immigrants
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is supporting a program that will provide legal assistance to undocumented immigrants who are at risk for deportation as part of a mayoral initiative to let undocumented immigrants know that the city stands behind them.
The City says this is a direct response to immigration arrests across the country and some of those immigrants had no attorneys. ICE says it's prioritizing known criminals.
The City said a fraction of the money, about 15% over a period of two years, will come from tax payers, but the overwhelming majority of the $600,000 program will come from a grant. City officials say the grant will be provide by the Vera Institute of Justice and undocumented immigrants can start applying for aid sometime in the New Year.
Immigration Topic of Meriden Round Table Featuring Blumenthal
About 50 community members gathered at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Paddock Avenue Wednesday for a roundtable discussion on immigration with U. S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and undocumented West Hartford resident Sujitno Sajuti, who has not left the church in over a month after taking sanctuary from deportation.
Blumenthal started the discussion by noting Thanksgiving is about family, giving a sense of urgency to the struggle to keep families of undocumented immigrants together. During the discussion, several people shared personal stories.
Dreamers Stage Protest During Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Four Dreamers momentarily halted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City in a demonstration they say is aimed at calling for action from Congress to replace an expiring Obama-era program that protects them from deportation.
The four protesters sat down in the parade route on Central Park West at 70th Street in Manhattan but were quickly carried off by NYPD police officers. A representative for the group that organized the demonstration, The Seed Project, said that none of the protesters were arrested or given citations.

the Japanese market, there is a far greater market for higher colour
temperature lamps such as this - in fact, Japan is one of the few
places in the world where there is still a strong demand for non-colour
corrected high pressure mercury vapour lamps on account of their high
colour temperature. They as a market, are also very picky about
the quality of the lighting - this tends to spill over to the lighting
devices themselves as well, the Iwasaki-EYE range for instance are so
beautifully well made that they are almost works of art.
This domestic lamp from Panasonic doesn't attain quite such high marks in terms of build quality, but is certainly a very well presented product, the overall build quality seeming slightly above that usually seen in domestic CFL's - that said - it isn't exactly cheap either! The only site I could find which had this model listed was in Germany and was selling these lamps for €15. While the Philips Genie range these days can be readily picked up in supermarkets for less than £1. Given the price difference there, you'd be expecting this to be a bit of a premium product.
I have to confess to being a little puzzled as to the intended application for this lamp - reflector type CFL's are not all that unusual these days - but they tend to be fitted with more conventional R shaped outer bulbs or plastic reflectors to direct the light - rather than the slightly elongated globe fitted to this lamp. The fact that this lamps reflector does not go sufficiently far along the bulb to fully shield the U-bends of the discharge tube result in a lamp which is vaguely directional - but with a very, very wide viewing angle. The only application I could see this lamp maybe serving particularly well would be in a recessed fixture, though I think that a conventional R style lamp would do just as good a job there if it was able to fit.
The light from this lamp is a very neutral white, which utterly baffles the colour balance on my camera. It's not quite the cold blue of 6400K lamps which simulate daylight, but it's far colder (i.e. higher colour temperature) than 2600 or 3000K which are far more common - I think it's probably about 5000K, which also ties in with the only information I've been able to find on the model number as it's available today. For a 15W lamp, it's really quite bright I think too - though the reflector style does make it a bit hard to judge.
My only gripe with this lamp is that there's a bit of "hazy" residue on the inside of the glass outer globe. Whether this is a residue that's been there since manufacture, I don't know, it may also have occurred while the lamp was in storage. If anyone else has one of these and can vouch for the clarity or otherwise of the globe I'd be most interested to hear.
Panasonic lamps don't appear all that often over here, so I'm glad to have this one in my collection.

Mi-Pay Group PLC (LON:MPAY) Chief Executive Officer John Beale caught up with DirectorsTalk for an exclusive interview to discuss their interim results, the increase in payment transactions processed, driving stronger growth and their strategy for the near & longer term.
Q1: First of all, congratulations on your results that you announced this morning. Can you just talk us through the highlights?
A1: The first half of 2018 I think has been a great progress for the Mi-Pay team and if we split into sections the highlights:
Firstly, from a growth point of view, we've seen our core annuity-based transactions grow 11% during the period, primarily down to our clients' customers migrating on to our secured digital payment channels.
We've also crucially now integrated fully into our largest client who we renewed terms with last year, it's been a challenging project, but we're pleased that as of August this year, we're now their sole digital payment provider and we expect that to deliver longer term growth for us.
Thirdly, we're also very pleased that we've extended and grown our managed fraud services that we commenced on a trial the end of last year, so we've now managed and secured over £17.8 million in payment transactions for them. The importance of that is that firstly, it's driven a new revenue stream of £0.1 million for the year and we expect that to grow but crucially, it gives us access to a wider European market. It also it enables to refocus also not be reliant on our core mobile operators which generally is a slow burner from a sales point of view, so we've got a faster route to market.
From a performance point of view, again I think we've made good progress. As you would've seen in an announcement previously, the management restructure delivered £0.1 million of cost savings to the business with no detrimental effect. The subsequent placing and conversion of deferred director salaries added £0.4 million to the asset base of the business and then further on from this, we've renewed our relationships with our core infrastructure providers which will deliver a further £2 cost savings million annualised moving forward from H2
I guess the final point to note in August we also received our R&D tax credits for the year that related to 2017 which underpins and benefits our cash position.
So, overall, we've effectively improved our financial performance materially, secured the financial stability and we're now looking to drive into profitability in H2.
Q2: As you just mentioned, Mi-Pay's total value of payment transactions processed in the period increased by 11% to £50.2 million and saw £17.8 million on managed fraud services. Can you tell us more about this?
A2: The growth to £50.2 million transactions is important and it's important because it is that that drives our core annuity transaction revenues and that's really where we focus our strategy on developing and growing. I think it's important to note that back in 2014 when we first listed, we were processing £25 million per annum and as at August, we're now processing annualised over £110 million so I think we're making really strong progress. What's important in that is that our existing clients are all growing, and our market is going in the sense that all of their consumers are gradually migrating from their traditional retail voucher-based channels onto their digital services. So, not only do we target new customers, but our existing clients gives us great routes for new growth and we're certainly seeing that with our largest client in Ireland.
From the fraud service, that's a new revenue stream for us, we've always had the solution in-house, we have our own IP, our own people that run this platform and we think we're market leading at it. What we're able to do is now sell that as a direct service, indemnifying and tasking the risk which is fairly unique in the market, certainly in the high-risk digital content market. The experience and knowledge that we're gaining that it's crucial for future growth, so it gives us a new revenue stream, new access to new geographies and certainly, a quicker route into markets.
Q3: You've successfully integrated into your largest client's infrastructure following your contract extension in 2017, how are you expecting this to drive stronger payment transaction growth?
A3: That's a good question. It's taken longer than we'd all hoped, our client was integrating two technology stacks together and I'm sure you understand for a major network operator, that is no small job.
So, it's been a challenging project for us to support and invest in and it has slowed our revenues below where we'd hoped but the great news is they've completed their piece of work now and we are now fully integrated into it. What that means is they are now combining their original consumer base which we always delivered but now building into it the recently acquired customer base when they took over a competitor. In doing that, we now become the sole digital payment provider for that client, picking up both sides.
So, not only are we seeing growth as their natural client base grows, or consumer base grows, but also adding on this new set of customers will enable larger H2 growth for us.
Q4: What can you tell us about Mi-Pay Group's strategy in the near and long term?
A4: So, first and foremost, we'll continue to build on the work we've done to date, it's starting to deliver for us from the growth in transaction value and that's really at our heart. How are we going to enable that? We'll continue to support and drive our clients from a marketing and a product perspective to drag their own consumers from the retail environment into the digital world, they're all looking to digitally transform their solutions and we want to be their key strategic partner to do that.
To assist that, we'll continue to work on developing and bringing to market new connection channels with our consumers, we already do apps, webs, IVR solutions but also moving backwards into running secure payment solutions for contact centres. Also, looking forward to the next generation of consumer contact around voice services such as the Alexa, we see that as a next stage, so we will invest in those areas.
We also have to remain market-leading in digital payments, that is our heart, so we will be bringing in new payment methods such as Apple Pay just to complement what we've already got and also keep a very close eye on the banking industry and new payment solutions coming out from there. We will be the partner that can bring those solutions to the mobile community.
I think thirdly, we also see a continuing trend in data security with GDPR coming on line and also all the recent negative news on hacking etc., we'll become very relevant because we offer highly secure solutions for our clients. Certainly, the operators in terms of protecting their brand, it's crucial that their data is well protected, so we see that as a good growth area.
Obviously as we talked about and touched on, enhancing our fraud management solutions, we've now proven that adds a market value, we've proven we can do it well and we'll look to grow that and investing that as a commercial model moving forward.
I think, finally, as we will always look for wider geographical reach, we've now got more experience in wider areas in Europe to grow on, but I also note that within the Asia Pacific, whilst that remains slow we still see that as a long-term growth opportunity, certainly with our enhanced fraud solution. We see that as place for longer term simply because of the volumes out there.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Fodor's Travel today introduced its Fodor's Inside series, a growing collection of print travel guides designed to serve travelers in search of hyperlocal, authentic, and artistic travel experiences.
The first all-new Fodor's guidebook series in a decade, Fodor's Inside launches with titles covering four destinations: Nashville, Berlin, Lisbon, and Paris.
"Simply put, the goal of the Fodor's Inside series is to make you feel like a local - not like a tourist," said Stephen Horowitz, Publisher and General Manager at Fodor's Travel.
Each Fodor's Inside title is penned by contributors who reside in the destinations they write about. The books include customized neighborhood maps (including local nicknames and abbreviations for neighborhoods where applicable) and deep coverage of the restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and boutiques in the neighborhoods that locals love best.
Other features include a focus on notable street and public art, "back-in-the-day spotlights" of history-rich locations, and a list of Instagram-worthy photo spots to maximize Likes in each destination.
"The best way to truly experience a destination is with a local to take you around, but that's not always possible," Horowitz said. "It's also difficult to glean an accurate local's insider perspective from a Google search. That's where Fodor's Inside comes in."
The Fodor's Inside format was inspired by the success of the Fodor's Brooklyn travel guide that debuted in 2015 and won a 2016 Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Journalism.
Still a place for print
The success of Fodor's Brooklyn and conversations with Fodor's readers confirmed there is still an appetite for the print format, with many travelers using guidebooks to supplement on-the-go research online. Print guidebooks also fit in a pocket, aren't susceptible to spotty internet connections, and never suffer from dead batteries.
But Fodor's editors aren't living in the past. (The vast library of free travel information available on Fodors.com is a testament to that.)
"We obviously realize that modern travelers will look for information online while on a trip," Horowitz said. "So we designed Fodor's Inside to be an ideal supplement to online resources: providing obscure insider information that is difficult to find online, in a format that can be accessed no matter the strength of your phone's signal."
No photos, please
This philosophy carries through to the design and layout of Fodor's Inside titles, with a stylish and artistic bent from cover to cover.
Very few photos appear in the pages of Fodor's Inside titles, making them unique among travel guides. Rather, maps and other illustrations are beautifully hand-drawn by professional illustrators.
"The internet provides an endless supply of photos for virtually every destination on Earth," Horowitz said. "So we decided to use intricate, artistic illustration to further convey the local flavor of each destination and to add an extra level of intimacy to the reading experience."
Fodor's Inside guides for Berlin, Lisbon, Nashville, and Paris are available for purchase now on Amazon and at major book retailers. Additional titles in the Fodor's Inside series--covering destinations including Mexico City and Portland--will be added regularly over the coming year.

Rajiv Bajaj analyzes the new electric vehicle companies; How should we take it?
NEW DELHI: Rajiv Bajaj , the managing director of Auto Baja , known for his firm and unbridled opinion, on Wednesday he examined the influx of new electric vehicle companies, questioning their core competencies to build vehicles.
Speaking at the launch of electric Chetak (e-Chetak), Rajiv Bajaj said, "I am surprised that battery, motor makers have launched electric vehicles and what surprised me even more is that some who were importing TV, fridge, mobiles have also started selling electric scooters. Whereas some other failed automakers have launched products in electric scooter space and some other two-wheeler makers went down south and invested in electric two-wheeler startups as if it was not their job. But we at Bajaj are engineers and we make our own things, "he asserted.
Interestingly, it should be noted that India's largest two-wheel manufacturer was one of the first investors to start electric scooters -Ather Energy. Although, the company later established its own dedicated EV division.
However, Bajaj's point of view cannot be ignored completely, as many of these startups have not gone beyond a minor modification and assembly of the imported kit. On the other hand, Auto Baja which had scooters in its DNA, aims to be the first among traditional two-wheeler makers to roll out electric scooter. This could also be perceived that Bajaj might be seeing the new challengers as threat.
The company that plunges into an almost untouchable scooter segment in electric avatar, tells many stories about the two-wheeled Indian giant. Reading, in the same Hamara Kal line inspired by the iconic Hamara Bajaj line, the people of the 90s will easily relate to one of the most popular scooters Bajaj Chetak .
However, this raises another valid question, if Bajaj has amended its earlier stand of not making scooters and focusing only on motorcycles? One gets the first answer when they see the absence of Auto Baja name in their product name 'e-Chetak'.
Bajaj argued: "We continue to have the same position in our two-wheel business and motorcycles will continue to be our main volume business. This (e-Chetak) is part of our strategy to become specialists for niche segments. This is how we have ATVs, three-wheelers, KTM , and now Triumph ... Our president had announced about reducing our approach, which means that we also have to reduce the product portfolio. Therefore, you must be a specialist.
Bajaj intends to resurrect the e-Chetak brand as BMW did with Mini, so the product has released the company logo to show its independence. The e-Chetak will be launched in January 2020, to test the market in two cities, Pune and Bengaluru, and will be sold from its pro-bicycle network, where the lowest price is 1.5 rupee lakh.
Explaining that his goal is not to make money with the new release, but to be prepared for the future, Bajaj said that the company does not mind losing a few million rupees in this company, since the reason behind this product is to transform be prepared for the future
"I have seen the price of the shares of new companies rise because they are burning cash. So, this is our adventure to burn cash and make our share prices rise, "jokes Bajaj.
As he was sounding critical of the new startups, on being asked what are processes and product quality that keep his product different from the crowd, he replied: "We will not share the details of investment, or how did we manufacture as this is not important for the customers but for the competitors, so we will not do it, "said Rajiv Bajaj.
Restricting its core value of focusing on what it can do best, Bajaj has no commitment to the charging infrastructure or the battery exchange model. It will only sell the scooters. However, he admitted that the infrastructure problem for electric vehicles can cause chaos similar to what happened during the transition to CNG in Delhi.

Elk Horn is an unincorporated community in Taylor County, Kentucky, United States. It lies along Route 76 southeast of the city of Campbellsville, the county seat of Taylor County.[1] Its elevation is 735 feet (224 m).[2] Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 42733.[3]
A post office in the community was established in 1876. The origins of the name Elk Horn are unclear: it may be named for a large collection of elk horns displayed at the local mill, or for a pair of antlers found in the area and thought to be unusual.[4] R.S & Amanda Tate was granted 2000 acres to set up homestead in early 1700's at that time it was still a part of Greensburg KY.

Provide secure file upload to Office 365
Business requires that all manner of documents containing confidential information be transferred to the company. However Office 365 does not provide a feature to collect these confidential documents without using email. Email encryption is not ready for prime time and most technology users are confounded by it. I note that Citrix ShareFile does off secure document upload capability.

An Exercise In Gratitude! by Dr. Naima Johnston Bush, Founder of the Refreshing Life
Well... 2018 is almost in the history books and here we are on the cusp of another Thanksgiving season! Of course many people use this month to practice gratitude, volunteer, give and be a blessing. But shouldn't we practice gratitude each and every day of our lives? Of course we should... but that doesn't mean that a holiday like Thanksgiving doesn't have it's place.
I like to think of Thanksgiving as a memorial, a touch stone, a celebratory monument that we build each year like our forefathers did in Biblical times to commemorate the mighty acts of the Lord. Abraham, Joshua and Moses were always building monuments in honor of the great things the Lord had done.
That's how I choose to look at this season of heightened awareness of why we should be thankful and why we should be of service. I am in the last week of my first session of Joy School - if you missed it, I hope you'll participate in our next session next spring, it's been an amazing experience! But one of the activities the participants engaged in was a seven day gratitude scavenger hunt challenge. I thought it would be cool to share one of the days with you. It's listed below and the directions are simple, since it's a scavenger hunt, you have to follow the directions listed below!
Day Three - Gratitude Scavenger Hunt
We Are Thankful That We Can Be A Blessing To Others!
Find Something To Give Away
Donate To Your Favorite Cause
Volunteer Your Time To A Cause You Believe In
Tell Someone Something To Encourage Them
Do Something For Someone Anonymously
Share with someone your memorization scripture
Memorization Scripture
"The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly
I will show the salvation of God!"
So much fun! If you choose to try even one of these challenges, please let me know how it goes for you! Better yet take a picture, post it to social media and tag me in the post!
Jon and I are wishing you a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!
I'd love to hear your thoughts, shoot me a note or leave a comment here on the blog!
If you want to be one of the first to learn more about JOY School 2019 get on the list here: Joy School 2019

How to Become a Construction Project Manager
In case you already have extensive experience in the construction industry and are planning to streamline your career, then you can opt to become a professional construction manager. However, you may have to attend school and earn a bachelor's degree in accordance with the Australian Skills Classified Occupation. While there is a high demand for construction project managers, employers do prefer the ones with appropriate training and education, particularly in the fields of civil engineering, construction and management. Though experience is a huge advantage, new managers in the construction industry will find that it is tough to use experience as an alternative for a degree.
Huge firms are in need of project managers to coordinate and take charge of all aspects of large construction projects. As a construction project manager, it is your job to interpret architectural drawings, specifications and bills of quantities; manage employees, procurement and delivery of materials; consult with architects, engineers and other professional and technical workers; negotiate with property developers and subcontractors; make sure the project is progressing within the allotted budget; and ensure strict adherence to building codes and standards of building performance.
With all the aforementioned tasks, it is evident that you need to study building science, business and management techniques before you can actually venture into project management work. Having a formal training in conjunction with hands on experience in the job site will certainly come in handy to tackle all the responsibilities that go with the job. Having a professional training and earning a degree and/or certification is increasingly becoming more popular among construction project managers as it highlights the fact that they are competent and they have all that is required to get the job done.
Public relations and people skills are of paramount importance as you will be the one on the front lines to represent your company and make sure the clients are satisfied with the deal that has been made with them on the project. This will ensure that clients will stick to your company and hire your services again. You must also be willing and able to travel as large construction companies normally have simultaneous projects all over the country. It is your main responsibility to coordinate projects and there would be times when you will be required to make project visits or move for a certain period until the project reaches completion.
Get abreast with the latest advances in building technology. Construction companies are now usingconstruction management software to be able to efficiently organize and control the important aspects that go into the building process. This is made possible by the computerization of the key aspects such as plotting the schedule for the construction, document management, correspondence between workers, keeping financial records and so forth. You have to familiarize yourself with the software by taking a refresher course or taking an internship with a professional construction project manager.
Overall, being a project manager is not everyone's cup of tea. It is a highly competitive job and if you fit into the mold, you may find yourself with the most rewarding job in the world. Imagine yourself driving by a structure that has become an icon and know that you played a big role in its construction. That's certainly an amazing feeling and a source of peerless pride on your part.

OTTAWA – U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft signed a sweeping border agreement with Canada on Monday, which both sides said would help stop terrorists from crossing but would keep the world's richest trade flow moving.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, both countries have been keen to secure the border while trying not to disrupt the $1.3 billion in daily bilateral trade that their economies thrive on.
"The United States and Canada have a fateful choice to make," Ashcroft said at the signing ceremony.
"Either we will stand together to combat terrorism or we will fall together to those who hate our freedom and seek to see our freedom, liberty and the kind of integrity and dignity we accord to individual citizens in our nations extinguished."
The busiest crossing point is between the two automobile capitals of Detroit and Windsor – where one-third of all the bilateral trade passes, much of it cars and car parts. Traffic faced huge delays there after Sept. 11.
Ashcroft, who met Canadian ministers in Detroit before signing the deal in Ottawa, said more U.S. and Canadian law enforcement officials would be deployed at targeted areas along the border. "The North American front of the war on terrorism is more secure today as a result of this agreement," he said.
Ashcroft, who said in the aftermath of the attacks that the 4,000-mile Canada-U.S. border was porous, said he would seek several hundred National Guard troops as well as helicopters to assist U.S. immigration and customs agents.
Insisting that this would not mean the militarization of the previously undefended border, he said most of them would simply help speed along congested border points.
Accounting for eight-hour shifts and weekends and vacations, he said it amounted to one extra person per 100 miles. "If you think that's fortifying a border, you've got a much more active imagination than I do," he said.
Some Canadian critics said the new pact threatened Canada's sovereignty and showed that Washington had lost confidence in Ottawa's response after the Sept. 11 suicide attacks.
Ashcroft admitted the hard reality that none of the hijackers to his knowledge had come through Canada.
But there have been Canadian links to the al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden, accused of masterminding the attacks.
And in 1999 Algerian Ahmed Ressam was arrested while trying to enter the United States from Canada with a load of explosives. The ease with which he evaded police, defied deportation orders and obtained a fake Canadian passport infuriated U.S. critics.
Canadian opposition leader Stockwell Day said the U.S. decision to deploy troops had more to do with holes in Canadian legislation than the need to move traffic along.
"The fact that there's going to be armed helicopters flying overhead, that doesn't help truck movement," he told reporters in Parliament.
Former prime minister Joe Clark, now leader of the minority Conservative Party, said Canada was paying the price for Ottawa's failure to quickly come up with an overall plan to deal with the new security situation.
"The government is trying to do this little piece by little piece and that means the more powerful country, with its more powerful will, is going to impose its system on Canada. That's the worst of all worlds for Canada," he said.
But Solicitor General Lawrence MacAulay, sensitive both to sovereignty issues and the U.S. desire to be secure, said: "Anything that helps U.S. security helps Canada."
Ashcroft repeatedly referred to the fact that both countries were "mature and sovereign."
In other areas in the agreement, the two countries decided to work toward a pact designed to end "asylum shopping" – to force refugees to apply for asylum in the country where they land rather than proceeding to apply in a third country. Some 40 percent of Canadian refugee claimants arrive via the United States.
They also agreed to expand the number of U.S. and Canadian immigration officers working overseas to detect and intercept undesirable people before they reach North America.
They will also share intelligence, discuss co-ordination of visa policies and beef up joint training of airline personnel.
The United States and Canada are the world's two largest trading partners, with $489 billion in goods and services exchanged last year, according to U.S. figures.

We have worked with Felicia since 2010 on multiple investments purchases of townhomes/condos including, traditional sales, short sales and foreclosures. She has a great knack of understanding her clients and thus always provided us what we needed to assist us through the entire process including finding the places that met our criteria, formulating a winning offer, walking away from deals that weren't right for us and making the ridiculous amount of paperwork easier to sort through and understand. She's extremely responsive and always provided us with the answers to all of our questions. If she didn't have the answer, she used her resources to get us the answer. She is a tough negotiator and will go to the mat for you to get the deal done. In spite of the multiple offers on many of our deals, she somehow always managed to closed them for us! Bottom line, Felicia is a hard working, knowledgeable professional who is really easy to work with and does what it takes to get you through the deal and beyond. After closing, she even provided us with a CD organized with all the paperwork for our files and has helped us with resources for our rental properties!

Myrrh is a red-brown resin with a bitter taste (its name derives from the Hebrew 'murr' or 'maror', meaning bitter) obtained from a species of tree (Commiphora) native to Somalia and the eastern parts of Ethiopia.
Like frankincense, myrrh is collected by making incisions into the bark of the tree. The gum that oozes out hardens into dark yellow-reddish tears, which together with the essential oil (also obtained by steam distillation of the tears) are widely used in incense, perfumes and aromatherapy.
Myrrh has a warm, rich, spicy balsamic odour that is sometimes slightly bitter, and was, like frankincense, an extremely valuable commodity during ancient times. It was mainly used in the embalming process, to delay the decay of the body and to mask the noxious odours.
Like frankincense, myrrh was often a component of the incense used in religious ceremonies. These associations, together with its bitter taste, meant that myrrh came to represent death, suffering and sorrow. Legend has it that the fire on which the phoenix would die and then be reborn was fuelled by myrrh and other spices.
During biblical times myrrh, both as a powder and as the essential oil, was also used in expensive perfumes.
Medicinal Action and Uses
Myrrh has been attributed with many medicinal uses. In ancient times it was used for cleaning wounds and, as late as the 19th century CE, it was being administered as a treatment for coughs, colds, sore throats, halitosis, gum disease and gonorrhoea.
Myrrh resin has since been shown to be anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimicrobial and antiseptic, and is still used today in mouthwashes and toothpastes, and in a number of liniments and healing salves for minor skin problems.
Until morphine and other painkillers were introduced, myrrh was a common analgesic. Myrrh is nowadays used as a constituent in some cosmetics, and as a flavouring in foods."
The above from; http://www.aromatherapy-stress-relief.com/articles/article_aromaschristmas_001.html
Of interest, we might consider that myrrh was used as an analgesic, and Christ was reportedly offered an analgesic while on the cross, and also notice the "bitter" taste of myrrh, and remember the "bitter herbs" that are part of the passover?

I have just released a new stable version of Autogen Configuration Merger, you can download it via the ACM page. This version adds support for Prepar3D v4. This has been in the beta release for a while and is stable enough now for the stable release. Another change that was recently added is that sceneries added via add-on.xml files are now also read by the tool. So please use this version from now on in your sceneries.
ModelConverterX command line arguments
ModelConverterX supports a number of command line arguments, for example to load a file at startup or to start a batch convert. I have now added a few extra command line arguments to give more flexibility. Below example usages are given.
Loading object
To load an object at startup of ModelConverterX you can just specify the filename you want to load.
modelconverterx.exe your_object.mdl
Loading object with specific livery
If you are loading an aircraft object and want to specify which livery to show initially, you can add the livery option to specify the name of the livery to select.
modelconverterx.exe your_object.mdl -livery selected_livery
Batch process file
In the batch convert wizard you can save the batch settings to file. You can then call this file from the command prompt to apply it to the object you specify.
modelconverterx.exe -batch batch_settings.mbc your_object.mdl
You can convert multiple objects at once by specifying them all.
modelconverterx.exe -batch batch_settings.mbc your_object.mdl your_object2.mdl your_object3.mdl
Mouse rectangle mess
ModelConverterX can read and write the mouse rectangles of virtual cockpit MDL files for quite a while already. But this week I fixed some annoying bug in that code. These bugs must have been there for quite a long time already. Now and then some issues with mouse rectangles were reported on the forum, but it was always hard to reproduce them since they typically show up in complex virtual cockpit models that are hard to debug. But with some good tips for forum users I was able to reproduce the problem in a simple object this week and that made solving the bugs a lot easier. So if you grab the latest development release now, you will not have problems with mouse rectangles suddenly getting other tooltips or that kind of bugs. This should make it more safe to edit virtual cockpit files with ModelConverterX.
What kind of bugs did I fix? First there was an issue that the mouse rectangle definitions were not always found correctly in the modeldef.xml file, so unnecessary extra definitions were made for that. This was caused by a bug in the implementation of the Copy tag in the modeldef.xml file.
Secondly the tooltips got mixed up on export sometimes. This was only the case for the custom mouse rectangle definitions that ModelConverterX made, so with the first bug solved this is less common already. But I found out that I wrote some elements wrong to the XML file, so that is also fixed now.
Just let me know if you find any more issues, as I'm not an aircraft development by origin, I'm less familiar with these aspects of MDL files.
Recent changes
Until today you could view the recent changes in my tools here on the website, there used to be a link for that in the menu on the left (or on the bottom if you are viewing on a mobile device). But lately that change log was not being updated correctly anymore, so that recent developments were often not visible. So I have decided to remove it now.
But that doesn't mean I won't make the recent changes visible anymore. From now on you will find a file named changeLog.html within the development release downloads. In this file you can see the 100 most recent changes in the software. So that should help you to see what has been changed. You can also find this change log here online.
AeroFly FS 2 support in scenProc
This week I was approached by an AeroFly FS 2 user with the question if scenProc could be used to make cultivation (the AeroFly name for autogen) for AeroFly FS 2 as well. Of course this was not the highest priority item on the wishlist to work on, but I liked the challenge and the data structure to write to seemed simple enough. So I sidetracked a bit from what I was actually working on and decided to give it a go.
The fact that I'm writing about it now already indicates that it worked. In the next development release of scenProc you will find support to create cultivation for AeroFly FS 2 as well. You can create plants (trees), buildings and lights.
Section 5.9 of the updated manual shows an example script that can be used for AeroFly FS 2. Using OpenStreetMap data I have scattered trees into forest polygons, placed lights along a road and create houses from buildings that are almost rectangular. Hopefully this sample script should be enough to get you going. If there are any questions or suggestions, just let me know.
Hierarchy editor improvements
Last week I made two changes to the hierarchy editor:
- You can now drag nodes in the hierarchy editor, so that you can give them another parent node. This can be used to animate attachpoints.
- You can specify a NoCrash option per modelpart now, this way certain parts can be excluded from the crash box generation.
Below are two video tutorials of the new features.
Prepar3D v4 visibility conditions for scenery?
This evening I have been testing Prepar3D v4 a bit more and I have especially looked at using visibility conditions in scenery MDL files. Before these were not supported at all for MDL files placed through BGL. We had to use SimObject for them, as tools like SODE do.
But with Prepar3D v4 things have changed a bit here, and I have been testing what that could mean. So what I did is add a simple visibility condition to part of an object. This the test code I used:
<PartInfo> <Name>vis_december</Name> <Visibility> <Parameter> <Code> (E:ZULU MONTH OF YEAR, number) 12 == if{ 1 } els{ 0 } </Code> </Parameter> </Visibility> </PartInfo>
It is just a simple condition to show the scenegraph node only when it is the 12th month of the year. And the good news is that these kind of conditions now work. So you can have part of your MDL only show at a certain time of the year. This can be very useful if you want to show snow only in the winter or so. As a proof here are two picture, one taken in September and the other in December.
At the moment I could only use the variables from the environment section, which would limit the kind of visibility conditions only to time related settings (day, month, year, etc). I tried to test with some other variables, but didn't have success with that yet. So it might be that interesting variables like the weather are still not support for scenery (or I just did something wrong).
Prepar3D v4 MDL support
In my previous post about Prepar3D v4 support of my tools I mentioned that the MDL format didn't seem to contain many changes. On further investigation it turned out that there are a number of changes and new sections in the MDL format. These are related to the following new functionalities:
- Support for a second set of UV coordinates, including the material attributes to specify which texture uses which set.
- New material attributes, mainly for the detail map and heatmap.
- Support for material scripts.
The development release has been updated to be able to write all these new features as well. In the material editor you will find a Prepar3D v4 specific section with all attributes that are only for Prepar3D v4.
Given these changes, you will find the Prepar3D v4 MDL and Prepar3D v4 BGL as a specific export format in the save dialogue now. In the options you will also have to set the path to the Prepar3D v4 XtoMdl and Bglcomp. If your SDK is installed correctly these tools should be detected automatically by the way.
Prepar3D v4 support
I have just released a new build of my tools that supports Prepar3D v4 as well. Below it is listed what this means for the different tools.
As far as I know now the MDL and BGL format in Prepar3D v4 are the same as in Prepar3D v2, so there is no new file format you can export to. But ModelConverterX will automatically recognise the Prepar3D v4 SDK when installed. Also the Convert and Place Object Wizard has been extended to support Prepar3D v4 as output simulator.
The autogen configuration files from Prepar3D v4 can be read and you can thus select this version of the simulator as the active version. Besides that the Prepar3D SDK will be recognised when searching for certain tools.
Prepar3D v4 is added as supported version, which means you can select it as the active simulator version so that the effect files will be read from that effects folder.
For the Autogen Configuration Merger tool I have posted a beta release to the forum today as well. Once that has been tested better I will officially release it.
All other tools didn't seem to require changes at this moment, but if you have issue using them with Prepar3D v4 please let me know.
Two new simulators
I the last week one new simulator was released and another one was officially announced. In this blog post I want to discuss what the impact on my various tools will be.
The new simulator that was released is Flight Sim World from Dovetail. After installing the early access version I have come to the conclusion that the MDL and AGN formats are still the same as in FSX. So from that point of view I expect no big changes are needed in my tools to support this simulator as well. However at the moment it's not clear yet if there will be an official SDK for this simulator. Given that the formats are the same as FSX, I guess we could use the Prepar3D 1.4 SDK, as people with only FSX Steam Edition also have to do. If an SDK is released later on I will check what needs to be done for the tools to support it.
The other new simulator that was announced is Prepar3D v4. The biggest change there is the move to 64 bit. I'm sure there will be an SDK, just as prior Prepar3D versions had. So once it is released I will make sure that my tools can detect and use that SDK as well. As far as I know now, the MDL and AGN file formats have no big changes compared to Prepar3D v3, so I don't expect big changes are needed to the tools. But once it has been formally released I'll double check that again.
One note, for both simulators I need to check if the Autogen Configuration Merger tool works well on it. I haven't checked if the autogen configuration file have changed in FSW and if it has a exe.xml to run a tool on startup like FSX had. That's something I still need to look into. For Prepar3D v4 I will also need to make sure it's supported by ACM.

Khalifa Bin Sheail Al Kuwari's OPERA BARON (Equiano x Opera Dancer) made a winning return to racing action when he was helmed to a fine victory in the H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani Trophy (GR2 for 3YO & older Thoroughbreds) on turf at the Al Rayyan Park on Thursday, 27 December. JP Guillambert was in the saddle of the topper for champion trainer Jassim Mohammed Ghazali Jahromi, who had four winners on the day. The gelding beat the Stefano Ibido-trained VERANDA (Canford Cliffs x Visinada), helmed by Ronan Thomas in the silks of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani, by a length the while Deborah Amanda Clare Mountain-saddled SHABBAB (Siyouni x Floride), ridden by Saleem Golam, had to settle for third by a short head.
Sheikh Khalifa Bin Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani's ISHFAQ (Asraa Min Al Barq x Djazie) was the third winner on the day saddled by Jassim Mohammed Ghazali Jahromi. The 5yo was also the fourth winner helmed by champion jockey Harry Bentley on the day when he won the 2000m Jaffer Cup (for Local Purebred Arabians) with a dominant four-length margin. The Ibrahim Saeed Ibrahim Al Malki-trained MEQDAM AL ZAIDY (Al Mudaffar x El Modamerah) and the Julian Colin Smart-schooled AALEY AL MAGAM (Amer x Abigaille) finished second and third respectively.
The owner-trainer-jockey trio of Ahmed Hassan Al Malki Al Jehani, Hamad Ahmed Al Malki Al Jehani and Jean Baptiste Hamel registered a double on the day when MOADDIE (Footstepsinthesand x Kasota) grabbed the seven-furlong Gazwan Local Thoroughbred Conditions event with three quarters to spare. The victory was the first for the 8yo in his three attempts this season.
Runner-up efforts in the Qatar Cup and Thoroughbreds had confirmed her competitiveness, and on Thursday, with Harry Bentley in the saddle, the Jassim Mohammed Ghazali Jahromi-trained TEA LEAF (Bushranger x Boston Ivy) won for the first time since May 2014. The 7yo mare topped the 1850m Assy Thoroughbreds (Fillies & Mares) (Class 4), finishing three quarters of a length ahead of Sawda Natheel Stakes winner Bronze Maquette.
The Hamad Ahmed Al Malki Al Jehani-trained MORE THAN A DREAM (Halling x Chabelle) went one better than his last run to win the Ebraz Thoroughbred Handicap (80 & below) (Class 4). Under a fine ride by Jean Baptiste Hamel, the colt shed his maiden status on his 23rd attempt topping the mile-long race by half a length.
Harry Bentley helmed the Jassim Mohammed Ghazali Jahromi-saddled AL MUSTAFIZ (AF Albahar x Djimana) to the colt's second career win in the Djendel Local Purebred Arabian Graduation Plate. Having impressed with minor places in his first two runs this season, th Injaaz Stud-owned 5yo won with half a length to spare this time.
Umm Qarn's MUHANNAD (Munjiz x Al Dahma) led a one-two for trainer Alban Elie Marie De Mieulle in the 2000m Mared Al Sahra Purebred Arabian Maiden Plate under a ride from Ronan Thomas. The 4yo colt had two forgettable runs earlier in 2018, but bounced back on Thursday with a short-head victory over stablemate Razad, who had Mathieu Pelletan in the saddle.
Injaaz Stud's DJALMESSA (Dahess x Djalmina) made a winning debut for trainer Mubarak Mohamed Al Khayareen topping the Reda Purebred Arabian Maiden Plate in a thriller. Champion jockey Harry Bentley helmed the 4yo filly to her maiden victory with a neck to spare in the seven-furlong run.

The Big Data vs. AI compare and contrast it, in fact, a comparison of two very closely related data technologies. Is Big Data vs. artificial intelligence even a fair comparison? To some degree it is, but first let's cut through the confusion.
