Guest Lecture by Tijana Tufek-Memišević: "Spatial barriers for people with disabilities in BiH"
On Monday, 13th April 2015, guest lecturer Tijana Tufek-Memišević held a workshop about "Spatial barriers for people with disabilities in BiH" with third year students of Architecture Department.
The workshop aims to raise awareness about the issues and obstacles that people with various movement restrictions in BiH face in everyday life. As a part of workshop Tijana Tufek-Memišević presented results of past experiences and architecture students' workshop organized in collaboration with the University Clinical Center of Sarajevo and the Association of Paraplegics and people suffering from Poliomyelitis of Canton Sarajevo. Together with the workshop conclusions the results that comprise universal design were presented during the lecture. This issue has been addressed in a theoretical, practical and creative way producing a promising solution.
Experience that students have gained during the Workshop will help them in understanding this very present issue. The workshop was concluded with the constructive discussion emphasizing that specific spatial demands for people with disabilities should be a part of every architectural project.

July Beauty Favourites10:00
It's favourites time!
I have been loving so much stuff lately, probably because I've been buying so much new stuff. It's always very exciting to try new products and it's even more exciting when I happen to really love them!
Let's get crackin'!
First of all is my beloved Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi-Colour powder in Marinière N°02. If you didn't know how much I love this already: where have you been??? I've written a complete review on this one af few days back, so go and check that out if you're curious!
My favourite tool is the one I use to apply this powder with and it's the Real Techniques Powder brush, It's so big an fluffy and great for an all over bronzer. I've been using it so much that the writing on it actually came off, haha. I don't know if that's so great, but still, it means that I'm loving it!
I've only had this blush for a couple of weeks but I've been using it non-stop and it's my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush. This. Is. Gorgeous. I need another one. It's so pigmented as well so you really need a light hand with it, but it gived me the most natural flush of colour and glow on my cheeks. Mine has quite a lot of the highlight in as well so that's probably why it looks so glowy. I adore it!
Another product I've been using all the time is the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream in 31 Ivory. This is a perfect colour match for me and i love how lightweight it is, but it still covers up pretty good and it's not too matte either, so it doesn't cling to dry patches as much as some of my foundation tend to do, but it's not too dewy so I don't look shiny and oily. It's everything I ever wanted; plus it smells great!
I discovered the Bourjois Java Rice powder a few months ago and bought it at the end of last month. I've been loving it to set my under-eye concealer, because it's a brightening loose powder. It's super finely milled and has the tiniest bit of shimmer in it to brighten up the area. I really love the packaging as well, it looks so cute!
How can I do a favourites post without mentioning an eyeshadow. This months favourite is the Kiko Long Lasting eyeshadow stick in 05 Rosy Brown. again, I did a full review on these that you can read here if you're interested, but basically this is supposed to be a dupe for the By Terry Ombre Black Star in Misty Rock. I love the colour, it's like a red-purple-ish kind of brown colour that goes so well with my green eyes. Because it's a cream stick it's super easy to apply and blend and it stays on forever; just what I need!
Lastly I've been getting into lip products more and more lately and one of my favourite discoveries are the Essence Lipsticks, especially the one in 15 Oh So Matt. It's a matt nude colour and it's great for an everyday look when I do my eyes a bit bolder and I want to tone down the lips. Such a pretty one!
Let me know what you think about my picks and tell me what you have been loving this month (if you did a post, please feel free to leave a link so I can check it out!).
Lots of love,

|Wrington VC Primary School
Website Items
|Early in 2004, Mrs Jackie Kerly, the Deputy Headteacher, recruited some pupils to learn the necessary skills for website design. Aiming first to contribute school pages on the Wrington website, the eventual objective was to create a free-standing school website, which, of course, would have mutual links with the Wrington website.
The group meets after school for an hour on Thursday afternoons, and these are the first 3 items to be produced. The pupils have an entirely free hand in choosing what to produce, the medium they work in - images, text, drawing, painting, &c - whether they work on their own or with others.
|Why Wrington?
Wrington is a really cool village and I'm going to tell you why!! Firstly, Wrington has two play parks, one by the church and another in the recreation grounds. The one by the church, has swings for babies and toddlers and swings for older children.
It also has a small slide and a bigger slide with a climbing area attached. There is also a tunnel and some benches to sit on.
The recreation ground has a pavilion hall and a bowling ground behind it. There are regular football and cricket games there with benches and a park at the bottom.
I hope this has persuaded you to come for a visit.
| Poem book reviews
I am Sam
Sam I am
That Sam ~ I ~ am!
That Sam ~I ~ am!
I do not like
That Sam ~I ~ am!
I like this book because it says the same things over again sometimes and it's quite short.
A dolphin's
A smart thing, a sharp sort of whale,
In a shiny wet suit from its head to its tail.
It goes to a school in which infant
Aquatics can practise in aero ~ and acrobatics.
I like this book because the poems are creative by them being shaped.
Both of these books you can find in the school library.

Seraphine and Plumette
$95.00 Sold Out
Straight out of a fairy tale, this pair is truly a dream. Seraphine the swan is made with heirloom wool and stuffed with organic wool. She's accented with shimmery suede feathers, gold embroidery and a vintage crochet doily capelet. Her companion, Plumette is also made and stuffed with wool and accented in gold. She's wearing a liberty of london dress with crochet cotton trim. I've tacked her down with a few stitches so she can stay with Seraphine, but these can be easily removed if you'd like to play with them separately. Please let me know if you'd like me to remove them for you before they come to live with you. Seraphine is 10 inches tall and Plumette is 7 inches tall. Not suitable for children under 4 years old, due to delicate small parts.

Now here is the question _ where did they come from? Are they crossed from Aylesbury Ducks and Blue Swedish Ducks? But I thought all of those were male.
Or - did a female mallard produce them? I certainly saw a several female mallards being harrassed and mated by both the big white ducks and by the black Swedish duck. We haven't seen the other black Swedish duck around for weeks. Has it been sitting on eggs? I could only see one black adult today so I can't tell for sure. Needs investigating though. I don't know why I find different colourings so fascinating on ducks and geese, I just do, and I can't wait to see what they turn out to be in adulthood. These youngsters have to be about 3 weeks old, as they are mostly white now, the yellow they would have been when they hatched is almost completely gone.

Invisalign Clear Braces
Fresno Dentist Serving Madera, Clovis, Visalia, Tulare & Nearby Areas in California
Many Fresno-area residents are suffering from bite or jaw alignment issues that badly need orthodontic treatment. However, whether out of a fear of discomfort from that treatment, embarrassment at the thought of metal braces or aesthetic concerns many of these people don't come to the dentist for help.
If you're in this situation, cosmetic dentist Dr. Greg Miyake can help. Using the innovative Invisalign® system, Dr. Miyake can give you straight teeth, an even bite and a comfortable jaw alignment.
And he can do all of this using clear, inconspicuous Invisalign aligners. Only you will know you're wearing them.
If you live in the Tulare, California area and you want to learn how Invisalign can correct your bite and jaw alignment issues without unsightly metal braces, please call Dr. Gregory G. Miyake at 559-224-0103.
How Invisalign Works
In a traditional orthodontic treatment, your doctor would fit you with metal braces. These would often be uncomfortable and would require a lot of time to fit. Once they were applied, you'd have to frequently come back to the office to have your braces tightened, an experience that was tedious and full of discomfort.
The end results were attractive and necessary, but the two years or so most patients wore braces were not pleasant. Metal braces could be as conspicuous as they were unattractive.
All of that is out the window with Invisalign.
The initial Invisalign process works like this:
- Dr. Miyake will examine your bite and jaw to get a clear picture of the state of your alignment issues
- We'll take an impression of your teeth
- Your Invisalign aligners will be custom-made for you
- We'll show you how to slip your aligners on and off
And that's it.
The Advantages of Invisalign for Fresno-area patients
The Invisalign treatment lasts about as long as traditional metal braces. But that's where the similarities end.
Invisalign aligners:
- Are made of clear plastic, so they aren't easily spotted
- Have no wires or sharp ends to poke you in the cheeks and gums
- Can be removed easily for meals
- Require no tightening visits. You'll come in every two weeks to pick up a new set of aligners and periodically for check-ups and that's it.
Over time your aligners will slowly, steadily shift your jaw into a more natural, relaxed position and will fix your teeth and bite issues as well.
Invisalign: hard to see, easy for patients to love. To learn more, visit our benefits of Invisalign page.
If you need orthodontic treatment in the Fresno, Madera, or Clovis, California area and you want an inconspicuous treatment option, Invisalign might be for you. Please contact Dr. Gregory G. Miyake today for more information.

Cupcakes vs Whoopie Pies
Whilst hard to believe it was only a few years ago that the bakery industry and consumers delighted at the huge comeback of the cupcake. Some attributed it to the economy downfall, providing small guilty pleasures to boost morale, others have cited the scene in Sex and the City where Carrie munches on a cupcake from the Magnolia bakery with fellow character Miranda as the true cause of the resurgence. Whichever reason it is I, along with thousands of others, have been indulging, enjoying and obsessing ever since. Wedding cakes made from towers of cupcakes, parties and hen do's themed around making and decorating them, bakeries and shops coming up with innovative new ways to market them in every style, theme, colour and flavour imaginable, not to mention the memorabilia that has flooded the shops in the last few years are evidence of its popularity. So could the cupcake bubble be on the verge of bursting…have people had enough of cupcakes? Well the introduction of a new cake in town, the whoopie pie, certainly seems to be threatening the cupcake's market share of the treat and cake industry.
Sneaking onto the market just 18 months ago, first through luxury London boutiques and then filtering down to high-end food retailers the whoopie pie is now being described as the new "IT" indulgence. Originating in Amish communities in America and thought to be made from leftover cake batter by wives for their farmer husbands lunch boxes the whoopie pie (two wedges of sticky cake sandwiched together with frosting or buttercream) has started showing up in food markets and on bakery shelves in places where cupcakes used to be causing me to wonder whether our love for the simple cake topped with icing is diminishing? I personally hope not. Whilst I have sampled and (eventually) liked whoopie pies (not without a few dodgy ones along the way which were just far too sickly) there is a simplicity to cupcakes which I far rather enjoy. Maybe it because it reminds me of the fairy cakes I had a child at kids parties, maybe it's because they are far more versatile in both flavour and appearance, and easier to make (in my opinion), or maybe it's because they somehow seem more elegant (when done properly and served on a fancy cake stand). But whilst I will rarely turn down a bit of whoopie (!), I can't deny that I'm just a cupcake gal at heart 🙂

He is one of the few Rastafarians who has actually lived in Ethiopia for a short period - until he was kicked out of the country due to his illegal status. It was very touching hearing his stories and seeing the tears running down his cheeks when he talked about the promised land and the odyssey and struggle of wanting to live where he says he belongs. Unfortunately he was never able to return to Ethiopia. Before I left, I asked him what his biggest wish in life was: "I want to go home!" Joseph also worked with Bob Marley on Exodus in 1976.

Landmark Land Co., which owns some of Southern California's premier golf courses, said Wednesday that it has agreed to sell its prime real estate for as much as $937 million to private interests, including its senior management and investors from Japan.
If the sale goes through, it would mark yet another major Japanese investment in prime golf courses in the United States. Japanese investors already own the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles and the famous Pebble Beach course on the Monterey Peninsula.
The proposed sale--the second of its kind tried in the past nine months--was greeted with deep skepticism by Wall Street investors, who sent Landmark Land's stock plunging. The firm's shares fell $1.125 a share to close at $7 on the American Stock Exchange.
A key part of the deal calls for the sale to be 60% financed by New Orleans-based Oak Tree Savings Bank, a money-losing financial institution owned by Carmel-based Landmark.

the southern image
a nice article recently in The State Newspaper of South Carolina about what it means to be "southern." They ask if the southern image is blurring and consider some statistics about religion and military..interesting read..
"Church attendance figures compiled by David Olson, director of the American Church Research Project, show Southerners are much more likely than the average American to go to church — though, as a region, their Midwestern brethren have a slight edge. The Arbitron broadcast rating service finds Southern dwellers are 48 percent more likely than others to listen to religious radio programming.
And what of the closeness of extended families associated with the South?
Six of the states in the top 10 for highest divorce rates are in the South. And the Census Bureau recently reported the South is home to seven of the top 10 states with the highest percentages of out-of-wedlock births. (The Census counts Delaware and Maryland as Southern states.)"

Jousting at the windmills of hypocrisy, scammers, and other stuff that irritates me.
Friday, February 17, 2006
So, I downloaded Internet Explorer 7, beta 2 and installed it. While it has an interesting interface, and offers tabbed browsing, much like Firefox, I've yet to make a true opinion on it. Let me use it for a weekend and I'll be able to tell ya more. However, I have found that posting to the blog is a bit tough because the text in my blog is white, and the compose function in Blogger is now using the published color, rather than the black I used to get. Perhaps that's just a glitch on my site, but I'd expect that it's a 'beta' thing. I'll keep you updated.

This morning, Asa had his first orthoptics (eye doctor) appointment at UHW. It was horrible. My best friend, Amy, came with me for support as Jon was unable to. I felt sick the whole time. Asa was referred simply because he has DS. Some children with DS have problems with their eyes / vision, around 40% I think.
The appointment itself was stressful, both for Asa and I (and undoubtedly for Amy as she had to deal with me!). He had to have three lots of eye drops – amazingly he slept through the first two lots, each were ten minutes apart. After the final set we were called in to see the doctor.
Asa had a light shone in to his eyes, but as the doctor was unable to get a clear view, the nurse had to swaddle him, hold him down, give local anaesthetic eye drops before each eye was kept open with a little metal clamp. Oh, how my precious little fella howled. And oh, how my heart broke. The doctor assured me it wasn't painful as the drops numbed his eyes; he said it would be mildly uncomfortable and that he was probably crying at being held tightly by the nurse. Even so, it was very traumatic and I couldn't help my tears flow down my puffy cheeks as I looked away from my distressed boy to avert my eyes from those harsh little eye clamps.
The doctor was checking for cataracts and nerve damage. He was given the all clear for visual problems at this point in time, but will be monitored again in January, and regularly throughout his childhood.
Right now, I am so thankful to God that all is well and that Asa's eyes are currently healthy. God is good! Join us in praying that his eyes remain healthy and that his vision will be complete. I'll post a list sometime of all the areas in which you can pray for Asa and our family, should anyone wish to do so. Thanks to all of who you prayed for today's appointment. -x-

Just In:
The House approved legislation promoting hydropower development and limiting the National Labor Relations Board from taking certain actions. the Senate debated gun control legislation, President Obama's nominee for EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, received a hearing, and Sally Jewell was confirmed to serve as Interior Department Secretary
Coming Up:
The House plans to consider cyber-security legislation, and IAPMO testifies before House Committee, while the Senate will continue its work on gun control measures.
Too Big To Ignore. Too Big to Fail. Too Big to Prosecute. Too Big to Jail. Too Big to Succeed.
Call it what you want, but the obsession in Washington over the size of the nation's biggest banks continues at a torrid pace. Every week, more House and Senate members say something or introduce legislation aimed at the concern they have that some banks are too large to operate efficiently, and it is increasingly becoming a bipartisan clamor. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently introduced the most extreme of these measures — a bill to require the Treasury to identify "too-big-too-fail" banks and then break them up in one year. This legislation is not going anywhere in either the House or Senate for now, but pressure is building to address the concern that many in Congress have with the size of the biggest banks. A hearing in a House subcommittee next week on the authority of the Federal Reserve Board to wind down large failing banks will add to this momentum.
Payday Lending Cap.
Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced a bill this week to cap interest rates and/or fees for "payday" lending at 36% annual percentage rate (APR). The measure would apply to all consumer credit transactions, including mortgages, car loans, credit cards, overdraft loans, car title loans, refund anticipation loans and payday loans. As a practical matter, however, it would mostly impact car title, refund anticipation and payday loans. Earlier this year, Senators Durbin, Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduced a bill to ban certain online payday lending practices. The Credit Union National Association supports both measures, touting the fact that their loans are generally limited to an APR of no more than 18%.
Corporate "Political" Activity.
Various interest groups are urging new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Mary Jo White to advance a rule for the agency's approval that would require public companies to publicly disclose their "political activities." Many business groups worry that "political activities" may be broadly defined and include memberships with trade associations and other professional groups. Lobbying for such a rule will intensify in the months ahead, Proponents for this measure are appealing their case to the SEC since their efforts to have Congress enact such a law have not been successful.
Debt Limit.
On May 19, the nation's debt limit will automatically increase by the amount which has been borrowed over the past few months (about $400 billion). This is the result of a bill Congress passed in January to postpone a fight over the debt limit so soon after the fiscal cliff battle. On May 19, the Treasury Department will begin taking certain measures to forestall an actual breach in the debt limit which is currently projected for sometime in August. This is the next fiscal showdown facing Washington, and the stakes are always high when the credit of the U.S. is in question. Regarding those stakes, a House subcommittee this week held a hearing on different proposals to prioritize federal payments in the event of a breach in the ceiling and a limit on borrowing. Many Republicans support legislation that would require Treasury to make principal and interest payments first; others would also prioritize Social Security, Medicare and military pay as well. Look for the House to consider and pass legislation that prioritizes federal payments in the event that the debt ceiling is not raised. In reality, however, the Senate will not approve a prioritization and the debt limit will likely not be breached. However, negotiations in July and August over the debt ceiling could be as disruptive as they were in 2011, the last time there was a showdown on the debt limit.
The President's Budget.
The Administration presented its fiscal year 2014 budget to Congress this week. While it will have no direct impact on the Congressional budget process, it lays out the President's priorities and highlights issues that will be in play during negotiations on reducing the deficit. Most notably, the President's budget offers to limit the future growth of Social Security benefits in exchange for further tax increases on higher-income taxpayers. The offer on entitlement spending has piqued the interest of some Republicans and could be the basis for a larger deficit reduction deal and debt ceiling increase. As for the tax proposals targeted toward higher-income earners, some are simply being reoffered from previous years, such as limiting the tax value of deductions and exemptions (including on municipal bond interest), a reduction in estate and gift tax exemptions, and a minimum effective tax rate of 30% phased-in for those earning over $1 million. Some notable proposals that are new in this year's budget are listed below.
New Retirement Plan Cap
. The White House is proposing to prohibit tax-free contributions to retirement accounts once the balance of those accounts reaches a certain level. The level would be based on the amount needed to provide for the maximum annuity permitted for qualified defined benefit plans (currently $205,000) and works out to $3.4 million but could change each year.
Taking a cue from a House Republican effort on tax reform, the budget contains a requirement that all derivative contracts be marked-to-market with the gain or loss being treated as ordinary income each year.
Inherited IRAs.
A new proposal for the President, but one that first surfaced last year in the Senate, would require non-spouse beneficiaries of inherited IRAs to take distributions within five years, rather than over their expected lifetime.
New Bonds and Incentives to Invest.
The budget proposes new taxable America Fast Forward Bonds similar to Build America Bonds but with a 28% direct payment to State and local issuers. To further incentivize investment in the U.S., the budget also proposes to exempt foreign pension funds from U.S. tax on the sale of real property.
Water Moving.
A Senate committee this week approved the "Water Resources Development Act" (WRDA), which addresses the nation's aging navigational system of inland waterways, coastal harbors and ports, locks and dams, and flood control protections. To use the Mississippi River basin as an example, 60 percent of all grain exported from the U.S. is shipped on the Mississippi River through the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana. This large industry uses locks and dams still made of wood and also suffered during the recent drought. President Obama and a majority in Congress support upgraded infrastructure, and while disagreement over its cost and how to pay for it is preventing a more comprehensive agreement on infrastructure improvements, WRDA is an issue that both sides may eventually reach a compromise on. WRDA is scheduled to come to the Senate floor soon and will likely pass.
Cutting Congressional Pay.
As federal workforce furloughs loom, some lawmakers are feeling the heat to possibly reduce their own pay in response. One senator has urged his colleagues to reduce their salaries by 20% as long as furloughs are in effect. Nearly half of the House and Senate membership (535 total members) are millionaires, so the reduction may not be a big deal to some. A few members are indeed cutting their salaries, but most are pledging instead to cut their office budgets or continue their charitable giving in this time of belt tightening. One Senator — Tennessee's Bob Corker — has never taken a salary at all since being elected in 2006 and donates it to a local charity.

US-ASEAN Business Council Continues Productive Engagement with Senior ASEAN Transport Officials
(Singapore) On October 13, the US-ASEAN Business Council concluded its business mission to the ASEAN Transport Ministers (ATM) Meeting, with eight U.S. companies engaging key officials on transport to discuss the impact of technology on infrastructure development in ASEAN.
This year marks the Council's second meeting with all ten ASEAN Transport Ministers, along with the Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN. During the mission, the Council delegation focused on leveraging technology in the realm of infrastructure development in ASEAN countries and discussed the future direction of infrastructure development, which is shifting from hard infrastructure projects to utilizing technology to improve existing infrastructure and reframe new infrastructure requirements.
The delegation was led by Marc Mealy, Council Vice President for Policy.
"As ASEAN continues to build the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), the next generation of inter and intra state policy and regulatory reforms and strategic transportation infrastructure investments will be critical to support region's growth and development," said Marc Mealy. "The US business community remains committed to being ASEAN's trusted stakeholder and partner in utilizing cutting edge technology solutions, products, services and capabilities to better design, develop and deliver the transportation infrastructure projects of tomorrow."
The Council supports the view that by adopting technological software and processes, government infrastructure projects can save significant costs and time, as well as increase visibility and transparency. World class technological systems can also be harnessed to improve the quality and delivery of services by providing a source of readily accessible, relevant, and valid information on ongoing infrastructure projects.
During the mission, the Council hosted the following officials to a working luncheon.
H.E. Dato Seri Mustappa bin Haji Sirat, Minister of Communications, Brunei
H.E. Mr. Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, Cambodia
H.E. Mr. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transport, Indonesia
H.E. Mr. Bounchanh Sinthavong, Minister of Public Works & Transport, Laos
H.E. Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai, Minister of Transport, Malaysia
H.E. U Thant Sin Maung, Minister of Transportation & Communications, Myanmar
H.E. Mr. Arthur Tugade, Secretary of Transportation, Philippines
HE. Mr. Khaw Boon Wan, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport, Singapore
H.E. Mr. Arkhom Termpittayapaisith, Minister of Transport, Thailand
H.E. Mr. Le Dinh Tho, Vice Minister of Transport, Vietnam
H.E. Dr. Lim Hong Hin, Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN, ASEAN Secretariat
The delegation also conducted individual bilateral meetings with H.E. Mr. Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, Cambodia; H.E. Mr. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transport, Indonesia; H.E. U Win Khant, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transportation & Communications, Myanmar; H.E. Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai, Minister of Transport, Malaysia; and H.E. Mr. Arthur Tugade, Secretary of Transportation, Philippines.
Companies participating in the mission included: 3M, Autodesk, Bechtel, Caterpillar, FedEx, Harris Corporation, Uber and UPS.
For more than 30 years, the US-ASEAN Business Council has been the premier advocacy organization for US corporations operating within the dynamic Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Worldwide, the Council's 150+ membership generates over $6 trillion in revenue and employ more than 13 million people. Members include the largest US companies conducting business in ASEAN, and range from newcomers to the region to companies that have been working in Southeast Asia for over 100 years. The Council has offices in: Washington, DC; New York, NY; Bangkok, Thailand; Hanoi, Vietnam; Jakarta, Indonesia; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Manila, Philippines; and Singapore.

SPRING is here! It's official; the clocks have changed, the sun is flooding in through the window and my garden is full of brightly coloured spring flowers and pretty blossom. So I thought I'd do a roundup of some of my favourite spring recipes. Think soups, salads and light dishes, using asparagus, new spring greens and beautiful pink rhubarb… yum!
Firstly for a recap of what is in season, check out my post In Season in the Spring. This time of year is all about new leaves (watercress, spinach, herbs), as well as a British favourite, asparagus. Officially the season starts on St George's day (23rd April), but early asparagus is starting to appear in the shops around now. Fruit is limited, but quality makes up for quantity in the form of wonderful rhubarb. Tart, tangy and the most beautiful colour, rhubarb is amazing in sweet and savoury dishes alike. Poach and make into fools and pies (see recipe links below), or try it with oily fish (mackerel or salmon for example), in hot or cold salads.
Salads, Soups and Light Dishes:
Sorrel and buckwheat soup: nutritious and filling. Plant based and gluten free
Asparagus and duck eggs: super simple quick meal making the most of this delicious vegetable
Quinoa, chickpea and watercress salad: a crunchy, wholesome plant based salad
Vegetable sushi (as per the cover photo): fill brown rice sushi rolls (with or without fish or slices of tofu) with any finely sliced vegetables you fancy. Carrots, asparagus, chives and a few shredded greens make great fillings.
Fish and spinach pie: a classic with a healthy focus
Asparagus tortilla: perfect for a quick dinner
Spinach and nutmeg quiche: delicious warm or cold with lots of crunchy salad
Sweet dishes:
Rhubarb fool: a foolproof dessert (pardon the pun…)
Rhubarb and star anise handpies: simple and fun to make!

What are the Best Fairway Woods For Mid Handicappers in 2018?
I think you'll agree with me on this:
Fairway woods are the most versatile long clubs in a golfer's arsenal.
But their name is quite misleading.
They are not just clubs to be used exclusively on the fairway, nor are they made of wood, for that matter!
Why are they so practical?
Modern fairway woods are probably second only to drivers with regards to innovation and advanced clubhead designs.
With perimeter weighting, speed pockets, hot faces, titanium and carbon fiber composite heads and much more, the best fairway woods on the market these days are a far cry from the clubs that were sold under the moniker just a few decades ago.
Like the best irons for mid handicappers, a game improvement fairway wood is quite capable of performing several different functions on the course, on the fairway, off the tee and in the rough.
But unlike the irons which come as a set of 6-9 clubs, a combination of 3 and 5-wood takes up only two slots on your regulation club set.
That makes a compelling case for the inclusion of at least a 3-wood in your club collection.
Which is why we have created a selection of the best fairway woods for mid handicappers on the market right now.
Let's dive in.
Our Roundup Selection
Editors Choice: Cobra King LTD Black Fairway Wood
If we take mid handicappers as any group of players with their handicaps between 10-20, then the Cobra King LTD is more suitable for those with their handicaps below 15.
The driver from the same series ranks very highly on charts for its stellar performance, and the fairway woods do not disappoint here. They have carried over the space-age looks of the driver to the LTD woods, and these too sport the inventive "Space-Port" at the sole of the club.
Word has it that Cobra partnered with the folks connected to the International Space Station in searching for the lightest combination of titanium-composite for the club head. It looks stunning and performs like a real champ, and is available with adjustable loft options.
- One of the best performers in all kinds of lies, even divots and bunkers, thanks to that compact clubhead.
- Just about enough forgiveness to cover marginal mishits, perfect for mid handicappers looking to improve their game.
- Plenty of distance on shots, enough to make you smile on shorter par-4s from the tee.
- Sturdy feel and feedback, with impressive sound on impact.
- Black and orange finish with the innovative "space-port" at the sole make this a killer looking club.
- The trajectory on shots is a bit too flat for some golfers.
- Despite the excellent performance on the fairway, some might find this as more of a driver substitute.
Best Value: Tour Edge XJ1 Fairway Wood
The XJ1 is the more mid handicapper friendly wood from Tour Edge, which also has the recently launched EX10 series for better players. The XJ1 has a heavy tungsten sole for more lower CoG that should help you launch your shots higher into the air.
The lightweight titanium alloy frame used across the club helps this effect by concentrating all the weight towards the bottom of the club. The wood has no adjustable features, and you will need to buy your 3 and 5-woods separately.
- With 2/3rds of the entire mass at the sole, this wood can launch the ball high up into the air for some really long distance shots, making this excellent from the tee.
- There is plenty of forgiveness on offer for mishits, and you can get accurate shots that land on the fairway on a regular basis.
- The feel and feedback are the best attributes of the club, and an explosive sound on impact makes this a fun club to let rip.
- The glossy black finish and teardrop design with an E for alignment make this a good looking club.
- This one tends to get the ball to launch too high into the air for some.
- Not one of the best fairway woods for high handicappers due to low forgiveness.
Best Seller: Callaway Great Big Bertha Epic Fairway Wood
The revolutionary "Jailbreak" technology made the Epic driver such a hit this year for Callaway. Though this fairway wood shares the same GBB Epic name, the technology is not quite the same.
You still get that ultra-lightweight triaxial carbon in the clubhead, a Speed Step crown, and the fast Face Cup design though.
All that amounts to a fairway wood that is very lightweight and easy to swing, with the weight focused towards the sole for playability and forgiveness. You also get a wide choice in lofts, from 3 all the way to 9-wood.
- Equally comfortable off the tee and on the fairway, a great option if you want a well-balanced wood.
- Excellent distance on shots, with faster ball speeds due to the Face Cup design.
- The Wood is incredibly easy and lightweight to swing, with good amounts of forgiveness.
- Looks great in the glossy black finish with neon accents.
- The feedback and sound are not the best in class.
- Probably not a good fit for the better swingers in the mid handicap range.
Worthy Competitor: TaylorMade M3 Fairway Wood
The M3 Fairway is an upgrade to what was already one of the best game improvement fairways of the past years. They have reinforced the shape of the clubhead for a much better impact sound and feedback, along with a Speed Pocket for extra ball speed and distance on shots.
TaylorMade included an inverted cone design, along with an ultra fast stainless steel face for a balance between ball speed and forgiveness. Overall the M3 has everything that the M2 from 2017 offered, with a few choice improvements sweetening the deal.
- Excellent forgiveness and accuracy with the inverted cone face design.
- The Speed Pocket and "hot face" guarantees distance and speed on all shots, making drives from the tee a real pleasure.
- The wood is very lightweight and easy to swing.
- Looks good in the contrasting black and white finish, with the white on the crown aiding alignment.
- The sound is still a bit off, not as good as some other clubs in its class.
- Not as good from different lies.
Worthy Competitor: Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Fairway Wood
If you want maximum forgiveness on a game improvement fairway wood, you can't possibly do any better than the Fusion from Callaway. Like the Epic, the Big Bertha Fusion also sports a triaxial carbon on the crown, but the club head has a quite radical, triangular shape.
Regarding performance, the Fusion rates highly on both forgiveness and distance, with a liberal dose of feedback thrown in for good measure.
The woods are easy to hit, and they stay hit when you get it right on the sweet spot. The woods are available in 3, 5 and 7-wood lofts.
- Matte black finish with red and white trim make this an attractive club.
- The steel-composite head produces a pleasingly muted feedback that sounds just right.
- Lots of forgiveness on offer inspires confidence to go for aggressive shots.
- Excellent shots from the tee, with high workability in all kinds of lies make this a versatile wood.
- One of the best fairway woods for mid handicappers with the best-in-class distance on shots.
- Too light for some players.
- The triangular clubhead looks odd for some.
Fairway Woods Introduction & Buying Guide
Woods are a family of golf clubs that include the 1-wood (more commonly called the driver), and the 3, 5 and 7-woods which are alluded to as fairway woods. The numbering on the wood denotes the loft angle, with the 1-wood being the lowest lofted and the 7-wood the highest.
You can even find higher lofted woods on the market. These 7, 9 and 11-woods are called utility woods. And thanks to the continuing innovations in club technology, it is possible to buy woods with adjustable lofts these days. Such a club can be transformed from a 3-wood to a 5, or 7-wood, though only in between rounds according to regulations.
Woods are used on longer par-5 and above courses for your second shot from the fairway when you still have a couple of hundred yards or more to go to reach the green. And on shorter holes, you can even use them from the tee with a full swing, instead of trying underpowered shots with your driver. Woods are also lofted enough to provide some workability from the rough but do note that some models may be optimized for one function over the other.
Fairway Woods vs. Hybrids
Woods are easier to hit than longer irons and get more distance than hybrids. But on the other hand, hybrids are the easiest to hit out of the three and work better in the rough thanks to their smaller club heads. Though, the only losers here are long irons.
A couple of woods and couple of hybrids can work much better together than any combination that involves long irons, especially for beginners and mid handicappers. You might want to alter your combination depending on the course, its length and the number of potential roughs and tight lies you might fall into en-route to the green.
For more distance, use woods and for better workability from tough lies in the fairway, use the hybrids.
To learn more about fairway woods and hybrids, check out this YouTube instructional video:
Fairway Wood Loft
The loft of a club is the angle at which club face rests, and it mainly affects the trajectory and distance on shots.
Higher lofts result in higher ball trajectories and shorter distances on shots. This is why higher lofted fairway woods cannot match the distance you get on shots with the lowest lofted 1-wood, a.k.a the driver.
The lofts on a 3-wood are usually between 15-18 degrees, while a 5-wood goes between 20-22 degrees and so on. The best fairway woods for high handicappers ideally should have higher lofts, while mid-handicappers can try their hands at the standard lower lofted 3-woods.
Fairway Wood Length
The lower the club number, the longer the club. By this principle, the 3-wood is the longest fairway wood, clocking in at around 42-43 inches, which would make it a couple of inches shorter than the driver which has a length of around 45 inches on average. The 5 and 7-woods are shorter at near the 42 inch and 40-inch mark respectively.
Ideal Club Materials
The cheapest options can be found shod with stainless steel heads and either steel or graphite shafts. These kinds of woods are often found in the best golf sets for beginners.
But the best fairway woods on the market from top brands usually come with expensive titanium and carbon fiber-composite club heads and premium graphite shafts.
For woods, graphite is a much more preferable option compared to steel, since graphite shafts will flex during your swing, increasing swing speeds.
If you want the best woods for high handicappers, titanium and composite material are better since these lightweight substances allow the manufacturers to create larger club heads with more forgiving faces. This is something fairway woods have in common with the best drivers for mid handicappers.
Adjustable Options
Top end models from brands like TaylorMade, Titleist and Callaway just to name a few, will have some advanced customization features on the clubhead these days.
An adjustable hosel that allows you to twist and change the loft angle is a common sight these days. Movable and sliding weights is another feature that manufacturers have added these days to fairway woods, making them similar to the best drivers for mid handicappers in this regard. As to whether you need these features is entirely subjective.
But they are all the rage, and many golfers do buy them based on the marketing hype. If you like tinkering with your clubs, and have the extra cash to spend, there is no reason not to get a wood with adjustable features. The movable weights might help if you have issues with slicing or hooking your shots. The adjustable loft option is nice since you are getting a club that can be altered to do the work of two other lofts as well.
Our Choice
Having adjustable features can be a nice plus, but they are not really necessary for a club to become the best fairway wood. And this fact is borne out by our top pick out this shortlist.
The Callaway Big Bertha Fusion has to be the best fairway wood for intermediate golfers, with a delicate balance between playability, distance, and forgiveness.
If you have a lower handicap and higher swing speeds, you might want to look at the Cobra LTD or the Callaway Epic Sub Zero woods.
Also, if you are on the lookout for the best golf sets for beginners, or the best irons for mid handicappers, we have got you covered with our in-depth reviews!

As an activity, science is a method of asking and answering questions about the world. Any discipline that asks questions that are capable of being answered by controlled observation (ie. by experiment) may be termed a science. Hence, the historical & social sciences may be so categorised along with the physical sciences.

Fortnite is officially in early access! People have been playing since last Friday, but that was the head start of early access … of the open alpha … of the pre-release … or something …
In any case, you can hop into the game right now by purchasing a Founder's Pack for prices ranging from $39.99 to $149.99. If you've already purchased a pack, you can upgrade it to a higher-tier pack, as well. If that's too steep for you, you'll have to wait until the game fully launches into free-to-play mode sometime next year.
In the meantime, enjoy the "Launch Gameplay Trailer" … for early access. What do words even mean any more?

Oh look, a game about zombies, I've never seen a game about fighting off zombies before…
Why pay someone to test your game, when people will pay you to test the game.
A payd headstart to a payd pre-alpha of a free to play game that will release some time next year? Nice. Makes me think of H1Z1 and EQ Next though.
Lol…"what do words even mean anymore?" Really nailed it in that regard. I remember back in the days when PC gaming was only at demo/shareware/trialware through cd's and downloads…back when BETA VERSION meant STILL IN DEVELOPMENT and you cannot play it yet until it is done and good to go. Long gone are those days, and what have we evolved into? WE the gamers have to pay A LOT to TEST a so called pre-alpha-beta-omega-whatnot of a game…dishing 40+ dollars into a LEMME SEE IF THIS IS FUN program; and do not give me the GAMERS HELP DEVELOPERS DEVELOP THE GAME and GAMERS ARE ACTIVE PART OF THE PROCESS….like, really?? HEAD START TO A PRE ALPHA??? Really??? Like myself there are many people who rants and complain over this topic, but at the end of the day, this bussiness model is here to stay….sadly. So, in the case at hand – Fortnite – while i'm looking forward to play it, i'll wait till the proper launch, some time next year….by that time, maybe those who eagerly paid 39.99 for HEAD STARTING IN A PRE ALPHA TEST will tell me if its worth the time to play a FREE TO PLAY GAME….if they didn't already leave the game at all.
EA is a rip-off and basically a way for developers to get free testing. Which you might think isn't all that bad, but when big companies do it, I feel that is cheeky as f* and shouldn't be allowed. Fair enough, if the developers are only a couple of people working on a project.
But you can see by how broken most games are now (even after years, some still haven't been fixed), that EA is a bit of a joke.
Personally, I stay away from it. Never pre-order and never buy into Alpha/Beta.
Here's hoping that the payment model isn't absolute garbage at launch for anyone that didn't buy in early.
Looks really fun, i gonna give a try

Microsoft SharedView
In case you're wondering how to show your computer to others, try Microsoft SharedView. It is a free application available for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack (SP) 1, Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, and Windows XP Service Pack 2. The only catches are that you must have a Windows Live ID (don't worry, it's free) to begin sharing your screen, and the "sharees" must download the program as well.
Once you've signed in with your WLID, the program gives you a set of instructions to send to the people you'd like to share with. After they have installed SharedView, the number of people will show up at the top of the screen. Then click the "Share" button and select what you want them to see.
Unfortunately, there is no audio support for the program right now. That means you have to make a telephone call or use a program like Skype.
There's an example of a real-world application of the program here.
You can download the program at: www.tinyurl.com/MShareView
There are some websites that let you share and store "bookmarks" of favorite sites you find. Diigo does that and more. With this website, you can group your bookmarks (like some other sites), but there are other features too. For example, you can highlight any text you find on the Web. It's kind of like digital annotating. You can also add sticky notes to web pages and share them with other users.
District 9 No-Blur/Subtitles Trailer
A few days ago I showed a preview for the upcoming sci-fi thriller District 9. There is one scene in that preview where the non-human is being interrogated. Its mouth was censored out and you couldn't understand what it was saying. Now, here is a new trailer, the exact same as before, but there's a difference. The mouth is not blurred and there are subtitles. You can understand the non-human. Enjoy!
When you think "animated movie", you probably think happy and joyful, right? Well, that's not the case of this movie. 9 tells the story of an alien…doll…thing named "9" that has qualities of leadership that may help the other doll-things survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The movie is produced by Tim Burton. And of course, the movie comes out on 9-9-09. Enjoy the trailer!
UPDATE: Those ragdoll thingies? Their real name, according to director Shane Acker, is "stitch punks".

A day like so many others but one that no one wants to remember, at least not fondly. If we enjoy a day like this, find some happiness in it instead of crying and wailing and professing our outrage over and over, we feel as if we're in the wrong for doing so. I use the universal 'we' – one that means the others, the general public, the media pawns. The 'we' that I seldom include myself in; not because I'm better in any way, just, perhaps, different in what I see, what I've seen, and therefore how I choose to be affected by atrocity.
The outrage, the outrage, the confusion… the innocents have been killed and the media makes the killer a celebrity. Why? Who was this person? Troubled, deranged, mentally ill… the questions will forever go unanswered, only speculated on. Gun control. Mental health care. Everyone pulls out their soap boxes, dusts them off, and stands as tall as they can. The outrage. The outrage. The Outrage. Fuck that – it's the media's fault, and always will be until the focus isn't on making the killer a star but instead pulling the glory away and naming, over and over again, the ones killed.
Every single person, every day, all around the world. Would things change then?
Weary of the pawns, of everyone saying the same thing over and over and over to no avail, I turn away. Not because I'm ignoring what happened, but because I'm ignoring the reaction. I don't need anyone else to tell me what to feel.
I look at my puppy, and wish that my life could be as simple as hers…; What's he doing now? Putting on the thing that means he's going out the door, wrapping it around his body. Grabbing the other thing that means I'm his, that attaches me to him. Outside! We're going outside!
She zigs and zags, all the smells, must find them all and taste them. Everything new, everything wonderful and fun and bouncing, and we play a game. I call it training, she calls it something else entirely. I run, stop, run, stop – she runs and tries to figure out when the next stop will be, watching me, letting me guide her in this glorious new game. I laugh, she forgets all the smells and just watches me, smiling, her tail wagging, run, stop, run… and everything else – the drug dealers, addicts, trash and atrocity – everything else goes away.

C (leaving for school): Oh, I forgot the Obama picture I need for the demonstration!
D: What demonstration?
C: I wrote speeches for a demonstration at school. I'm going to be Obama and Owen is going to be Bush.
D: You can't have a demonstration at school. It's...
C: I have to GO! Bye!
S: So how did those speeches go?
C: It was great! At the end I pretended to hit Owen and then he pretended to kick me and then I pretended to knock him over!
S: So was this at recess or what?
C: No.
S: It was in class?
C: Music class.
S: Uh, what did your music teacher think of that?
C: She thought it was great!
C: It was for the talent show.
S: You and Owen did a mock debate for a music class talent show? What did the other kids do?
C: Oh, singing and playing instruments and things like that.
S: Those are more traditional skills to share.
C: She said she'd never seen anything like it before!
S: I'll bet she hadn't. You wrote the speeches for both of you?
C: Yes. It was kind of hard because I was Obama and wanted to say lots of bad things about Bush but I didn't say all of them because I didn't want to make Owen feel bad.
S: That was thoughtful of you.

A Going Out to Dinner Carol
I've become bored with going out to dinner. When my wife asked about Saturday night, I said I was happy staying home, eating w/ TV. Sadly she left, and a knock came at the front door. I opened and there was Steve Barnes from the TIMES UNION's "Table Hopping" Blog. He told me I had to relearn the "true" meaning of going out to dinner, and on that night, I would be visited by three ghosts, to which I said, "Wow, three ghosts, huh?" Steve did not take kindly to my sarcastic tone, and squeezed a hand around my windpipe, dropping me like a sack. He screamed, "You fool, this is your LAST chance to learn the true meaning of going out to dinner. Don't waste it."
I forgot about Barnes's visit, went to bed early, stuffed with homemade grilled cheese and canned soup. At 1AM, I felt a breeze blow through the window. I came awake and there stood Shannon, our former waitress from the Villa Valenti. "Are you the ghost," I asked, and she said, "Of going out to dinner past." I was then lifted over my sleeping wife and dogs and airborne into the night. We landed outside the Villa Valenti, and looked in the icy windows of a winter night. I was in the back booth with my wife and our friends: Jill and Brent. We talked over a table packed with breads and wines and apps, as Shannon delivered pasta entrees. Then we buzzed to the next destination, the icy window at Prime in Downtown Albany, and I saw me and my wife sitting with our friends: Jamie and Sana. The piano played as we talked and laughed. "That was the best night," I said, and Shannon said, "But you forgot about that fun, didn't you?"
At 2AM the same breeze blew and I snapped awake to see Kay, our D'Raymond's waitress, at the hanging mirror in our attached bathroom, fixing her frosted bangs. She told me to hurry up and follow her through the bathroom window. She doesn't have all night and wasn't getting tips on this job. I jumped from bed and followed and then we were sitting at the LaPorto's bar, and I saw me and my wife at the corner table, alone, and I was texting away while she stared off bored and unhappy. It was the same scene at Longfellow's, the Old Brien Inn, and finally D' Raymond's itself, where I only tipped Kay six percent, which she read sadly off the receipt when we'd gone. "You didn't even finish your shrimp parm or order dessert that night," she reminded me, and I said, "Please, ghost, no more." Kay said, "You forged these memories yourself." Then, "You still owe me the other fourteen percent."
3AM came and I woke to the TV on loud. I sat up and on the screen saw the 90-year-old sample lady from Hannaford. She was handing out some kind of cheese packaged in Dixie cups. Then I saw me taking one of those samples. I had a cart filled with boxed foods and frozen goods, and I looked old, and hunchbacked, and alone. It was a sad sight and I grabbed the remote, changed the channel, saw my wife older but looking alive, with a new man, laughing and drinking wine and having a great time on the town. I changed the channel again, I had to, and I saw myself inside a small apartment, hunched over a standing tray in front of an oozing TV screen. I tried turning the TV off, but couldn't, and when I looked at my wife's side of the bed, it was empty, and the dogs were gone.
I grabbed my cell phone off the side table and saw the time: 10AM. I was awake. I jumped from bed and ran to the kitchen. There was a note on the fridge that read: TOOK DOGS TO PET SMART. Then: GROCERY SHOPPING FOR DINNER. With the back of my hand, I smeared those dry erased words away. I sprinted to the living room window, saw a young couple in matching jogging suits power walking by. It's the Burbs, what can I say? I threw open the window, and said, "Hey you, kind neighbors, what day is it?" They stopped at the same time, took a second to spot me, and the man responded, "Why it's the Sunday before Christmas, sir." And I pumped fist and said, "Do you still think there's time to book a restaurant table for X-Mas Eve?" The man considered this: "Probably nothing before eight, but yes, sir, I believe there's time." I said, "Thank you, friend! Thank you!" And threw the window shut. The garage door lurched open underneath, signaling my family's return. "I haven't missed it after all," I proclaimed.

Metro Does Not Receive the Federal Grant
Metro Transit submitted an application in 2017 for TIGER Discretionary Grant funding in order to build a much-needed bus satellite facility.
Staff have received word that Metro was not awarded this grant.
Only 3.6% of TIGER grant funding was awarded to
Staff will be working with Metro's federal contacts to discuss this year's application and look for ways to improve application materials for next year.
The proposed facility is estimated to cost approximately $35 million and will be the first step in addressing current service needs, providing a new force for economic development and planning for the future of mass transit in the region.
need for bus maintenance facility
From 2010 to 2014, Metro has experienced a significant increase in ridership. In 2014, Metro tallied an all-time record of more than 15 million rides.
As a result of this success, many routes have become dramatically overcrowded. Due to these overcrowded buses, drivers struggle to keep buses on-time.
In attempts to address these issues, Metro has maxed out its number of available buses, and lost the ability to expand during commuting hours. As the community continues to thrive and grow, there are several communities, disadvantaged neighborhoods, business centers and other important destinations that Metro is not able to serve. Metro is also not able to accommodate an ever-increasing call for service from key regional employers to help increase their workforce.
None of these expansions or accommodations in service can be made without additional buses, and more importantly, a facility to house them.
Metro's current facility on East Washington Ave. is more than 30 years old and was originally designed to house 160 buses. There are now 215 forty-foot buses and 17 paratransit vehicles stored at this location.
Additionally, the garage itself is not equipped to house articulated 60-foot buses, which are also needed to help address capacity issues.
proposed SITE AT nakoosa trl.
In 2013, the City of Madison purchased property on Nakoosa Trl. to be used for a variety of municipal purposes including Fleet Services, Fire Maintenance, Radio Shop, and Metro Transit operations.
Metro is proposing to use TIGER funding to build a $35 million bus satellite facility on this property to relieve severe overcrowding in its current garage, improve safety, and provide the capacity necessary to expand service.
The new facility is proposed to house 56 buses including 36 sixty-foot articulated buses and 20 forty-foot standard buses. If articulated buses are not purchased, the facility has the capacity to house 70 standard buses.
This new facility is also proposed to be a clean energy garage. It will be partially powered by solar energy and have the infrastructure necessary to service both diesel and all-electric vehicles.

No, not the Jonathan Coulton song, although you can have that too since I'm feeling generous.
This overTHERE is a new free iPhone app designed for blind folks that looks like it might be worth playing with.
overTHERE is a free iPhone app that gives blind pedestrians quick and easy access to accurate location information about businesses and other points of interest in the world. Simply point your phone in a direction to hear what's "over there," and audio cues make it easy to quickly and accurately pinpoint exact locations of businesses and addresses.
overTHERE grew out of Smith-Kettlewell's Virtual Talking Signs project. The app uses an interface based on Talking Signs – a system of infrared transmitters and receivers that Smith-Kettlewell originally developed to make signage accessible for blind pedestrians. The original Talking Signs system allowed the location of a transmitter to be determined by moving the receiver back and forth across the beam of a transmitter until the strongest signal is heard. overTHERE uses a similar interface, offering many of the advantages of Talking Signs, but now the transmitters are Google map pins and the receiver is your iPhone.
The app isn't meant to be a replacement for Blindsquare or whatever your GPS navigation software of choice is. It's mostly meant to serve as a demonstration of their technology. But if it works as intended, I can certainly see a use for it alongside apps like those if the poor phone battery can handle it. And yes, I mean poor phone battery in both senses you're thinking of.
