Nearly three quarters of IT decision makers are failing to make effective use of mapping technology in their businesses, according to the head of enterprise GEO at Google.
While putting a map on a company's website requires only a few lines of code, and can help customers to work out where they are going, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to enterprise use of mapping. In particular, IT decision makers should start thinking about using location-based business intelligence in order to process and analyze Big Data.
Mapping in business intelligence is a huge market, not just from a Google standpoint but also from a business perspective. If you can't put data onto a map and understand it, then you're in the wrong line of business.
Adding geographical context to Big Data can help organisations visualise their data, in order to get a better grasp of internal operations and customer behaviours.
For example, the transport and logistics industry is pioneering the use of mapping technology, using GPS to track the routes that drivers take, as well as metrics like speed and traffic, in order to accurately schedule deliveries and economise on fuel.
Meanwhile, some retail chains are starting to use mapping technology to monitor the effectiveness of marketing campaigns in different areas of the country, or manage stock based on customer demand, said Patel. Supermarkets like Tesco are even using indoor mapping and location technologies to track the routes that shoppers take around stores and place products accordingly.
However, there is also value in opening that data up to the end user. For example, Google Earth Builder allows organisations to create maps using their own data over a private cloud platform, and then share those maps securely with other organisations or business partners.
They don't have to worry about machines, processing, bandwidth, maintenance and all that kind of stuff. They can put their data on this mapping platform and deliver it out to their own users with all the security protocols that they want.
Providing real-time data to the end user in map form, and allowing that end user to contribute their own data, helps organisations instantly build up a more comprehensive picture of the situation in hand, enabling them to act more quickly and effectively.
It's all about learning and information and making people understand that the traditional way of using maps is long gone. It's not about just getting from A to B, it is completely utilising the business environment.
Earlier this year, Google was ordered to pay a fine and damages to a French mapping company, Bottin Cartographers, after a court ruled that the search giant was guilty of unfair competition and "undercutting competitors" by making its Google Maps program free. Google is appealing the decision.
Meanwhile, Google recently came under fire for introducing of usage limits to the Google Maps API, meaning that high-volume users will have to pay if they exceed 25,000 hits a day. Google claimed the measure had been introduced to secure the long term future of the Maps API, while minimising the impact on developers.

Our nearly three year old usually spends his holidays running around happily pretending to be Spiderman with anyone that'll join in. Today however he's in bed. The sun is beaming through the windows of our lakeside cabin in Bluestone, Pembrokeshire…and we're stuck indoors. We've been a few times since having children and it's definitely our favourite short stay destination. This time however, his third birthday treat is turning out to be more snotty tissues and cuddles rather than the adventure filled days we'd planned!
So, how do you cope with a poorly child away from home. Here are a few tips from a Mum who's poor children always seem to be ill!:
1. Emergency contacts – do some research before you go. Find out where the nearest doctor/ hospital is. Make a note of contact numbers on your phone. Hopefully you won't need them but it'll be much easier than struggling to find the information with screaming children and failing wifi signal!
2. Pack painkillers – we really don't like to give our boys too much medication but sometimes it's the only thing that works. Bring your own from home…especially important if your travelling abroad. There's nothing worse than trying to work out which medication to buy (often in another language)…and that's if you're lucky enough to be able to find a pharmacy!
3. Decongestants – I always pack some Snufflebabe as our boys are terrible at sleeping with blocked noses. A small amount makes them feel a lot more comfortable.
4. Baby carrier – I used our Tula every single day until my boys were more mobile (they hated pushchairs until around 11 months). Now it's only used in emergencies really when our youngest just can't be soothed any other way. I always bring it away with us as it's a really simple way of keeping our baby happy while still being free to continue the holiday fun!
5. Pushchair -an obvious one if you have babies or toddlers but not easy to pack! If we ever travel without one we regret it! We've found this Stroller folds small and is lightweight. It's also lasted well with our two heavy boys!
6. Waterproof bag – useful for storing dirty clothes after an accident! These are totally leakproof and great for carrying uchy items until they can be washed!
7. Home comforts – However much entertainment there is going to be at our destination, we always pack some DVDs, kids tablet and books.Something to keep a poorly toddler occupied if they feel too unwell to get out and about.
8. Something for yourself – don't forget you! Sleepless nights aren't fun so be prepared! Bring whatever helps get you through the early hours at home! Chocolate, a magazine, a cosy hoodie. And rest when you can. Don't worry about missing out on the holiday…just get some sleep whenever you can and you'll be able to join in again feeling refreshed!
It can be especially difficult when children are ill on holiday. Often, a lot of time, money and energy has gone into trying to make sure everyone has a great time. When illness strikes it can ruin even the best made plans. Don't put too much pressure on yourself or the holiday…there will be others! Take out travel insurance too if possible as you'll be able to claim back any holiday cancellations you need to make.
Tell yourself that there will be other adventures…but for now, getting better is the priority!
Do you have any handy tips for travelling with little ones?

6 Smart Cross Training Strategies for Triathletes
As American Council on Exercise (ACE) certified personal trainer Thomas Roe points out, training for a triathlon involves way more than just swimming, biking, and running.
"So much more goes into training for a competitive triathlete," he said.
Roe trains triathletes and also competes in races himself.
"I've had the good fortune of training and competing at many of the local sprint and Olympic triathlons in Southern California," he said.
In his experience, the following cross training formula is what's helped him and his clients achieve race-day success when competing in sprint- and Olympic-distance triathlon races.
1. Yoga
"Never underestimate the importance of flexibility and knowing your own body's strengths and limitations," Roe said.
2. Stadium or Bleacher Running
"Running (or even sprinting) bleacher stairs is one of the best ways to increase endurance, stamina, and cardiovascular training," Roe explained. He said that running at the 45-degree angle provided by bleacher stairs stimulates the "attack" position assumed on your bike and helps to strengthen your quads, hamstrings, and calves. Plus, it prepares your muscles especially for "that last 100-meter sprint to the finish line that could mean the difference between first and third place."
3. Wind or Parachute Sprints
Roe says that nothing will get you outside of your comfort zone like sprinting at full speed with a six-foot circumference parachute tied to you back. "Make no mistake, trying to podium in a sprint or Olympic triathlon is a full sprint in all three disciplines from the opening whistle or gun," Roe said. That means, you need to learn how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and training with resistance sprints is one of the best ways to do so. "The parachute will simulate drag much like wearing the wetsuit and a tough head wind while biking and running," Roe added.
4. TRX Suspension Training
Roe suggests using the TRX ropes to focus on training your core and body awareness. "If your core is weak, you are weak," Roe said. "All body strength and movement stem from a strong core." He highly suggests including the TRX plank (pictured above) and locked-knee pike exercises into your strength training routine.
5. Foam Rolling and Epsom Salt Baths
"To most athletes stretching is a given," Roe said. "But foam rolling and salt baths are a sure fire way to fight off future cramping and keep sore muscles at bay. I suggest using a black firm 36-inch foam roller for rolling out tired and sore muscles prior to a warm to hot salt bath."
6. Bonus Training
Stand up paddleboarding (SUP): Roe says it's great for building both upper body and core strength.

Target, the discount retailer affectionately known as "Tar-jay" by its loyal legions of fans, just suffered a huge blow to its once-stellar reputation.
The company's "Buzz score," a measurement of brand popularity developed by polling site YouGov, dropped by 35 points to -9 on Dec. 20, the day after Target announced that hackers may have gotten access to 40 million customers' credit and debit card information. On Monday it fell even further to -19. Scores range from 100 to -100.
The Justice Department is investigating the data breach, which is being called the second largest incident of its kind in U.S. history. (The largest affected at least 47.5 million T.J. Maxx customers in the mid-2000s.)
To determine changes in Target's "buzz score" YouGov consistently asked customers "If you've heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?" The site has interviewed at least 15,000 people specifically about Target since July 1, 2013.
As the chart above from YouGov shows, shoppers' perception of Target dropped well below that of similar brands like Walmart, Kmart and Macy's just before the last weekend of the holiday shopping season -- a critical time for retailers. Despite offering a 10 percent discount the weekend after the data breach, Target suffered a drop in traffic during that period, while other retailers still had a high level of transactions, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Customers affected by the Target breach complained that they had to cancel credit and debit cards just as they were rushing to buy holiday gifts. Millions of others faced bank-imposed limits on how much cash they could take out at ATMs or spend on their debit cards.
And if history is any indication, it may take several weeks before Target's reputation recovers. It took four weeks for customers' perception of Citibank to bounce back after a data breach in June 2011 and six to eight weeks for Playstation's reputation to recover after a similar hack in April 2011, according to YouGov.
Target didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
CORRECTION: YouGov interviewed at least 15,000 people specifically about Target since July 1, 2013. An earlier version of this story said that YouGov interviewed 4,300 people to determine Target's brand score.

Fiber optic lighting is a very recently introduced form of domestic lighting that offers many advantages both in terms of energy efficiency and for easy of DIY installation. Fiber optic lighting relies on the use of centralized 'light pumps', sometimes one per room or one for an entire home, which use a high intensity lamp to supply light delivered to fixtures by fiber optic cables and which are switched using optical switches and dimmers that are completely electricity-free. The high intensity lamps are designed to run continuously and have a life span in excess of a decade. Despite running continuously, their high efficiency compared to discrete light bulbs affords a typical 40% energy savings over conventional lighting. However, by combining them with roof-mounted heliostats gathering natural sunlight and piping it to the same lighting 'manifold' or 'bus' it becomes possible to reduce this energy cost even further by allowing the electric light pump to be switched off during daylight hours when only supplemental and task lighting is needed.
Fiber optic lighting systems have many benefits in addition to great energy economy. Thought often expensive in themselves because production has so far been limited, they greatly reduce the cost of housing construction because their electricity-free cabling and switching requires no skilled electricians to install. This also greatly improves the general safety of the home electrical system by simply reducing the amount of electric wiring in general. Using modular cabling with an architecture similar to the Utilihab Modular Wiring system, DIY builders need no special tools and only deal with a single cable line in hierarchal chains connecting switches and light emitter fixtures.
Fiber optic lighting is also well suited to specialty panel integration and use outdoors and in wet areas because there are no light bulbs to replace in light emitter fixtures and no electrical wiring that can short. This makes its ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, swimming pools, hot tubs, decks, landscape lighting, and hydroponics systems lighting.
Here are the basic elements of the Utilihab Fiber Optic Lighting system;
Lightpump: a cooled high intensity lamp unit in an optical coupling sphere with fiber cable manifold. These are designed to be placed in a centralized utility space with fiber cabling spreading out to light splitters, individual light emitter fixtures, and optical switches/dimmer units. Utilihab Lightpumps are designed with a dual input integration sphere allowing the units to combine both electric primary lamp and a primary emitter from outdoor heliostats. Speciality light pumps may include color-wheel or other special lighting effect elements.
Heliostat: a solar light collector which is mounted on the roof or a free-standing mount. Can be either active sun-tracking using an integral solar cell for power or passive, using surface area to compensate for varied solar incidence. Connects by fiber optic cable either directly to light emitter fixtures, to splitters, or to a dual-input lightpump unit.
Cable: a pre-made multi-strand glass optic fiber cable suited to both indoor and outdoor use and using pre-installed modular end-connectors. No electricity allows for safe and easy plug-and-play DIY installation. Fiber cable can be combined with electric and data cable and can use frame-integral conduits.
Splitters/Distributors: a terminal module which splits light uniformly from an input cable between two or more output cables. Special many-strand optical junctions are used for elaborate pin-light arrays based on numerous plastic optic fibers
Switches/Dimmers: optical versions of the conventional wall switch and wall dimmer. Usually made entirely of plastic and designed to match sizes of conventional electric switches and dimers.
Emitters: a large assortment of lighting units that match the usual spectrum of indoor lighting such as table and floor lamps, ceiling lamps, recessed lighting fixtures and the like but also including some special forms exploiting the permanence and resilience of electricity-free lighting fixtures. These light emitters are based on solid glass or optical-grade plastic elements and have no light bulbs or other parts that need replacement, allowing them to be placed on/in structural elements that are normally inaccessible for routine maintenance. They conduct no electricity so they are safe in water and outdoor locations. Thus there are emitters in the form of bathroom tiles or intended to be mounted in bathroom tiles, emitters in the form of paving blocks and bricks, emitters for swimming pool, hot-tub, and pool/fountain walls, emitters in arrays integrated to standard Utilihab ceiling, wall, and floor panels, outdoor emitters similar to landscape lighting units, and fiber optic carpeting with plastic optic fibers woven into the carpet.

It took me getting sick to make time to work on pictures and scrapbook pages. Summer has been wonderfully full. Brodyn has loved snacking from the garden, catching and observing bugs and spraying his sisters with the hose! Ainsli accomplished riding without training wheels and is now zooming up to the school and back daily. The girls traded rooms and got the TV taken away and it has been Awesome since! Brei is excited for 7th grade and volleyball to start.We've been fishing several times - this page shows the only day that no one caught anything. It was the most beautiful of all the trips though, so can't complain! The kids love fishing with their dad and I love watching them all together and taking pictures.
Ry and I are doing good. The gardens are thriving - we've canned lots of green beans and one batch of dill pickles. Ryan recently won a $750 Home Depot card - so we'll be doing the girls bathroom and Brodyn's bedroom - I'm so excited!
Despite getting sick, I'm feeling so great. As of two weeks ago I had lost 20 lbs. in 3 weeks. I love my new doctors and how much they are helping me. All of my pain is gone and I have so much more energy! We are so blessed and now to prepare for the upcoming school year and all that it entails!

The Core Cities Group has expanded its membership beyond England for the first time in its history.
Leader of Sheffield City Council, Cllr Julie Dore said: "All eight of the English Core Cities are pleased to welcome Glasgow into the group. The need to drive urban economies and to compete on an international scale is common to all the cities.
"We have already stated the case for improving the transport links between the major cities to enhance the nation's economy. By working together to create better economic and employment policies, we will create more jobs and growth in our cities"
The Core Cities led the first wave of City Deals, bespoke packages of power and resource devolved to cities initially in England. Glasgow is the first non-English city to announce a City Deal with the UK Government, for a programme of infrastructure investment valued at £1.13 billion. Glasgow and seven other neighbouring local authorities will benefit from the City Deal.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council added: "This is a highly significant moment as Glasgow takes her rightful place alongside our sister cities in England at the forefront of efforts to expand and re-balance the British economy. Glasgow has more in common with cities like Liverpool and Manchester than we do with most of Scotland.
"Arguing over which powers should be held by Holyrood or Westminster is a sterile distraction. Power and resources should be transferred from both parliaments to city-regions if we're serious about creating jobs. Both nation-building centralisers and austerity-obsessives undermine economic growth.
"The future is urban and metropolitan cities the world-over are the powerhouses of the economy. For the first time in human history the majority of the world's population live in cities, a figure set to rise to 75 percent by 2050."
Glasgow shares the attributes and criteria associated with other Core Cities: a critical economic hub at the centre of a bigger city region; diverse sectoral growth and skills within its labour market; containing a set of assets, infrastructure and institutions that underpin growth; a large population; and at the heart of a city region which has a coherent governance structure and is a prime driver of growth and employment at scale across a much larger geography.
Glasgow's urban area delivers 33.1 percent of the Scottish economy and is home to 1,790,500 people, which when combined with the 27 percent of the English economy delivered by Core Cities urban areas and their residents, equates to 24.6 percent of the UK economy (27.0 percent of the English and Scottish economy combined) and 27.5 percent of the UK population (29.7 percent of the combined English and Scottish population).
Notes for editors:
The Core Cities consist of: Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.
The Core Cities are a unique and united local authority voice to promote the role of their cities in driving economic growth. They represent the councils of England's eight largest city economies outside London and Scotland's largest city. The Core Cities Group has a track record of 15 years as a cross party group, led by the City Leaders and Mayors. For more information please visit http://www.corecities.com

The Real Maple Syrup Mob,Delete
Oscar kitty has tried the kitchen sink in the past but with his back stiff leg now he finds it easier to get to the bathroom sink. In the bathroom he can jump from the floor to the toilet seat to the sink. It's much higher and with no steps in the kitchen. It was a nice idea, though!
Her expression is priceless! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Emily is a spunky little fluffy bunny!Delete
Squatter's rights, Emily! You stay put! :)ReplyDelete
Poor Oscar. (Hey, she has to get up SOMEtime, pal!)Replies
Hello meowmeowmans,Delete
Emily did leave the comfy sink...eventually!
Oscar was very patient. More patient that a certain Winston kitty
might have been in the same situation!
Take care! :)

Is the African market finally ready to fulfil its full potential? Will a new more open approach to air connectivity finally open the door to better intra-African connectivity? These are massive questions for a market that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts will see the strongest growth over the next 20 years and will be home to some of the fastest growing individual country markets in terms of passenger demand.
Our regular round-up delivers some of the key aviation and travel news stories from across Africa.
- Ethiopian Airlines finalises agreements for launch of Chadian national airline
- Comair develops technology focused company, Nacelle
- Senegal grants Dakar-Paris traffic rights to Air Senegal, Corsair to suspend own service
- KCAA may limit number of airlines operating at Nairobi airports
- Proflight Zambia acquires one Dash 8-300 turboprop
- ROUTE UPDATE: latest route launches and announcements
- DATA SNAPSHOT: Africa projected future aircraft deliveries (w/c 27-Aug-2018)
Ethiopian Airlines finalises agreements for launch of Chadian national airline
Ethiopian Airlines has finalised agreements with the Government of Chad to help launch Chad's new national carrier, scheduled to commence operations on 01-Oct-2018. Ethiopian holds a 49% stake in the joint venture, while the Government of Chad retains 51%. Ethiopian already acquired stakes in the national carriers of Zambia and Guinea and preparations are underway to launch Ethiopian Mozambique Airlines. Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam says: "The strategic equity partnership in the launching of the new Chad national carrier is part of our Vision 2025 multiple hub strategy in Africa. The new Chad national carrier will serve as a strong hub in Central Africa availing domestic, regional and eventually international air connectivity to the major destinations in the Middle East, Europe and Asia".
Comair develops technology focused company, Nacelle
Comair (South Africa) has entered a joint venture agreement with Infinea to develop a technology focused company, Nacelle. The parties will distribute the necessary working capital to the company and receive an equal share in profits. Comair CEO Erik Venter says "key commercial" opportunities were transferred to Nacelle, adding: "Like most industries, technology plays a pivotal role in our business. That's why we've decided to spin off our IT budget and team into a separate entity that will provide a variety of IT-related services, which will include the commercialisation of our intellectual property". Former Comair chief information officer Milk Ilsley will act as COO, while Amanda Mocellin was appointed as CEO. Delani Higgins will act as CFO.
Senegal grants Dakar-Paris traffic rights to Air Senegal, Corsair to suspend own service
Senegal's Agence Nationale de l'Aviation Civile et de la Météorologie has rescinded the traffic rights for Corsair's seven times Paris Orly-Dakar service in favour of Air Senegal, which plans to commence Dakar-Paris service with Airbus A330neo aircraft from 01-Feb-2019. Corsair took note of the decision of the Senegalese authorities and says it "regrets to have to suspend" its services after six years of operation.
KCAA may limit number of airlines operating at Nairobi airports
Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) head of corporate planning Henry Ogoye has reportedly advised a freeze on the number of airlines operating at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Nairobi Wilson Airport may be forthcoming, in light of the airports' increasing capacity constraints. Local reports quote Mr Ogoye as stating: "Wilson Airport is seriously congested, JKIA is also becoming congested. We need new airport development to add taxiways and parking bays. There is no point of having so many operators coming in when our airport infrastructure cannot handle them efficiently".
Proflight Zambia acquires one Dash 8-300 turboprop
Proflight Zambia has purchased a 50 seat Bombardier Dash 8-300 aircraft, which is expected to be delivered from Canada to Zambia "in the next few months". The purchase forms part of the airline's strategy to acquire larger aircraft to accommodate more passengers, realise economies of scale and enable more efficient operations. Director of flight operations Gerald Tembo says the new aircraft "will increase Proflight's capacity and enable us to expand our network of destinations throughout the southern African market". The new aircraft will also "free up the productive time" of the airline's single CRJ100 for potential new domestic and regional routes. The carrier is evaluating Dar Es Salaam, Entebbe, Gabon and Johannesburg services. The carrier also operates two Cessna C208 Caravan and three Jetstream 41 aircraft.

This Game Is Getting All Too Real
He said: I like to keep under the radar and mostly hang out with my friends from the rez. But when I saved Riley Berenger from falling off a mountain, that rich suburban princess decided to try to save me.
She said: If I can help Sam Tracy win the heart of the girl he can't get over, I'll pay him back for helping me. I promised him I would, no matter what it takes.
My Review
I was so excited to find out that Sam and Riley were getting their own story in Played by Liz Fichera! They were a couple of the supporting characters in the first book in the series, Hooked. I remember that I really enjoyed reading Hooked. Not only was it a super cute contemporary read, but it also introduced diversity and strong subject matters that appealed to me. So, of course, I was very excited to read Played.
I wish that I could say that I loved Played just as much as I did Hooked, but I'd be lying. The writing itself was just as great as ever, but I was blinded by the fact that I hated Riley. I'm not talking about a little hate. No. I'm talking about the kind of hate where I eventually had to start skimming through her sections because she was pissing me off that much. I couldn't stand her.
The biggest problem with Riley was that she was trying to break up the two main characters from the first book, Ryan and Fred. I hate to say it, but I think that was a really bad idea on Fichera's part. I had invested hours into Ryan and Fred's relationship and all of a sudden this little pipsqueak was entering the mix and trying to mess that progress up. Obviously, I didn't handle that situation very well. Every single time she made a move against Ryan and Fred's relationship, I hated her even more. By the end of the book, I detested Riley. And, of course, it was made even worse by the simple fact that Riley is Ryan's little sister. I mean…what type of person would do such a thing?
In contrast to Riley's character, I loved Sam. I don't remember him playing a huge role in the first book, but I really enjoyed him in this one. He was sweet, caring, loyal. He was just everything that women want in a man. What he saw in Riley, I'll never know, but I loved him!
Riley and Sam's relationship was odd to say the least. It was like all this time was being invested in Riley breaking up Ryan and Fred and hooking up Sam and Fred that they really didn't have a relationship until it was thrown in your face. Toward the end of the book they're relationship starts to get rushed and then they're madly in love. By the time I reached that point I was like huh? Where did that come from? I mean, it was obvious that it was supposed to be a love story and that Sam and Riley would end up together (I'm really not giving away anything you don't already know), but I would have liked to see more build up and progression in their relationship. It just didn't really work for me.
No matter my feelings on this book, I will always recommend this series to everyone. Why, you ask? Well, because of the content. I love that Liz Fichera features Native Americans and describes some of their culture in her books. I love the fact that there are interracial relationships going on. Most of all, I love that Native American teens (and adults!) have a popular, YA book that features a main character who looks like them. Often times, in all literature, main characters are white. I love the fact that concept is branching out and including different races and identities.
Overall, I liked this book, BUT I wasn't in love with it. I think that would have been different if I had actually like Riley. However, it was a cute contemporary read. I just wish that there would have been a little more oomph to it. I also wish that it would have had more of an emotional impact on me. When I read contemporary, I want at least one scene that will make me cry. That didn't happen in Played. Overall, though, I'd recommend this one to all teenagers and YA contemporary fans.

Our independent columnist Observer takes a closer look at the town centre roadworks consultation, accuses Wealden District Council of facing in both directions over the Ashdown Forest and praises Uckfield for being a caring town.
East Sussex County Council's press release on the latest consultation on High Street roadworks only tells part of the story, especially when it comes to traffic management choices.
It baldly states a "one-way system was the preferred option".
My preferred option – and other people's too – was a shuttle system of working with two-way traffic maintained throughout the whole works.
The county council ruled this option out as being too expensive and unfunded.
A study of the consultation responses shows some people "voted" for one-way working but some clearly had reservations as illustrated by their comments
Here are some examples:
*Two way traffic should be kept, or at least attempted to be kept. If not one way with Rocks Park opened up;
*Could it not be done in stages over four years or so, so that some business trade could be maintained;
*Why can the work at the wider part of the High Street not be carried out with two-way traffic?
*I think full road closure will affect the traders. In these austere times they cannot afford to lose trade;
*The bypass is not capable of handling any large increase in traffic volumes. Therefore none of these proposals are really suitable;
*There are going to be too many disruptions to the town for negligible benefit. The whole scheme should be scrapped;
*I feel that the disruption caused by this work will have a detrimental effect on traders and visitors generally, an effect which could take many years to recover;
*We have little choice but to accept it;
*I do not consider these works necessary. Reducing parking from 43 to 23 a disaster;
*This will cause problems on the by-pass at peak times but you seem to know best. The people living north and villagers will go out of town for shopping and go north to Crowborough and people living south will go to Lewes or Hailsham.
All this is hardly a vote of confidence.
It was a similar situation when it came to the length of time for wating on the High Street. The choice was 20 minutes or 30 mins. Not quite Hobson's choice but something akin to it.
East Sussex County Council's questions clearly drove people to give answers they did not like.
On these pages last Saturday, former deputy town mayor, Jeremy Hallett, asked whether the town should have another parish poll.
Without doubt, would be my answer. Bring it on as soon as possible.
FACING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME: I pointed out last week the lack of joined up thinking by Wealden District Council when it comes to the Ashdown Forest.
The council this week illustrated my point perfectly.
A press statement promotes walks on the Ashdown Forest. That's the same council that is trying to restrict development in Uckfield and other parts to prevent people walking on the forest.
HELPING HAND: Uckfield people seem always ready to give a helping hand to people in trouble or who are down on their luck. The trait goes a long way to making the town such a great place to live. Good luck to the riders taking on a South Downs challenge in memory of butcher Daniel Osborne.

Bristol UCU have released a statement of solidarity with Warwick UCU's fight against reform to Statute 24, which will crush academic freedom, destroy employment protections, and worsen teaching quality at Warwick. See the statement below:
University of Bristol UCU expresses its solidarity with Warwick UCU in its 'Save Our Statue' Campaign.
Warwick University's statue reforms, the repealing of current provisions for redundancy, discipline and dismissal, effectively making it both quicker and easier to sack academics, are a blow to academic freedom and job security at Warwick University and Higher Education in general.
They represent yet another example of a UK university's callous disregard as regards protecting staff from the whims of unaccountable academic management.
Warwick's disgraceful institutional behavior in the Docherty affair in 2014-15 clearly did not serve as much of a lesson.
Bristol UCU asks that the reforms are withdrawn as soon as possible and joins with its sister Warwick branch in advocating the continuance of the current Stature 24 at Warwick

Skoda Superb SE Business launched for company drivers
Skoda has introduced a new SE Business variant of the new 2015 Superb that's aimed specifically at company car drivers.
Based on the regular SE trim, it adds standard features that many company car drivers consider must-haves – but are often not able to order due to fleet policies banning options.
Additions include touchscreen sat nav, Bluetooth, SmartLink smartphone connectivity (including Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink and Google Android Auto), front and rear parking sensors and security-conscious sunset tinted glass for the rear windows.
Alcantara upholstery makes it a bit posher inside too.
The Superb SE Business will be offered with two fleet-focused engines, both diesels: a 120hp 1.6-litre TDI and a 150hp 2.0-litre TDI.
Skoda will later add a GreenLine eco version, capable of 76.4mph and emitting 95g/km CO2.
Deliveries of the new Superb range, including the SE Business, will begin later this year and prices for the company car driver edition start at £21,590.

"Life is hard!" This seems to be a common refrain for the vast majority of people. Life is hard, which then in turn makes change hard. Ever tried establishing a new habit or a new routine? It's definitely not the easiest task to undertake. Changing your communication patterns with your spouse? Seems impossible. Re-calibrating your responses with your preschooler? Don't even mention it. Rooting out discontentment and bitterness about where God has you? Overwhelming. Making it to your weekly Small Group? Exhausting.
Change in any situation is difficult, and yet God's Word has so much to say about change. One of the reasons change can be so difficult is that life's ups and downs cloud out our ability to see the goodness and mercy of God which comes to us expressly during those times. What if the ups and downs of life were actually graces from God to make us more like His Son?

Things for which I have an incredibly vehement and possibly irrational dislike:
- Cowboy boots and hats
- Football, especially NFL football – I can make a number of rational arguments as to why I dislike football. I find it hard to respect a sport that has a season consisting of only 16 games and in which players do not play both offense and defense. People claim it's action packed, but, to me, most of the "game" seems to be people standing around. Football minutes are like dog minutes–actually even longer. Gerbil minutes maybe. All that said, nothing really explains the magnitude of my dislike for the NFL. It's not just that I don't want to watch it. I'd really prefer if no one watched or at least if no one talked about it. At the very least, I would like an application that makes all football related Facebook posts appear on my news feed as pictures of kittens.
- Flat-brimmed baseball caps – I want to bend them all. While I'm at it, I want to take all the damn stickers off too.
- Armpit hair (on both sexes)
- Unexpected stickiness – The need not to have sticky hands could be near the bottom of my own personal Maslow's hierarchy of needs (or the revised version I have previously proposed). Not that there aren't other reasons that I don't have kids, but the stickiness alone could be enough to keep me from procreating. Why are kids always sticky?
- French pedicures
- Lladro and Precious Moments figurines
- Dippin' Dots ice cream – I've never even tried it, but it vaguely reminds me of Styrofoam and cottage cheese. I do not want ice cream to remind me of those things.
- Golf shirts on women – In my nightmares, I'm forced to wear golf shirts, cowboy hats, and cowboy boots.
I'm interested to hear the irrational passionate dislikes of others, so feel free to share yours.

Introduction: How to Bake Gooey Butter Cookies
Finding time to bake while in college can be difficult. When you need to bring a snack of some sort to share to an event, you don't want to have to be the person that just bought a bag of chips. This is a really simple recipe that you can prep and bake around your schedule. You prepare the dough quickly then refrigerate until you have time later to actually bake it. I've used this recipe many times for get-togethers and events and it has always been a hit. You get to impress your friends with a delicious little treat that's incredibly easy to make!
Estimated Cost of Recipe: Under $10
Total Time Estimates:
5 minutes to make the dough
4+ hours of refrigeration
11-13 minutes baking per batch (typically 3 to 4 batches of 12 to 15 cookies on a tray)
Large mixing bowl
Electric hand mixer
Small bowl
Cookie trays
1 box cake mix (traditionally yellow cake mix)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Powdered sugar
Step 1: Allow Butter and Cream Cheese to Soften
Set the cream cheese and butter out to soften if very cold/frozen. Don't microwave the cream cheese and butter. You just want them soft enough to mix well, not melted.
Step 2: Combine and Mix Ngredients
Combine cake mix, cream cheese, butter, egg, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on a medium setting until well mixed. Well mixed is creamy, no lumps, and no cake mix powder unmixed in. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two to achieve a well mixed state.
Step 3: Refrigerate Dough
Refrigerate your dough for at least 4 hours or overnight. Make sure to cover the dough when put in the refrigerator or the dough will dry out or take on the flavors of other things in your refrigerator. If you're bowl does not come with a lid, seran wrap will be sufficient.
Step 4: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Note: Raise by 25 degrees Fahrenheit if you live in a high altitude area (3000 or more feet above sea level).
Step 5: Cover in Powdered Sugar
Pour powdered sugar in a small bowl and roll dough into balls roughly 1 inch in diameter. Roll the ball in the powdered sugar in the bowl. Make sure the whole cookie ball is well covered in powdered sugar before placing onto the cookie tray.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
Place each ball on the cookie tray approximately 2 inches apart.
Place cookie tray in the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and the tops are just starting to look lightly golden.
Step 7: Sprinkle With Sugar
Remove cookies from oven. Sprinkle each cookie with more powdered sugar using the sifter.
Step 8: Enjoy the Cookies!
Allow cookies to cool for several minutes and then enjoy!
Step 9: Suggestions
- Get creative with your flavors. I have personally made these in yellow, white, chocolate, and red velvet cake form. You can also add a little something special to your cookie mix like small chunks of chocolate.
- A higher medium setting for the mixer will get everything mixed very quickly but if you are not comfortable using a hand mixer, a lower setting will be more manageable for you.
- The longer you refrigerate, the better your dough (to a certain point). 4 hours is long enough to let the dough set but overnight is best. Don't leave it in the refrigerator for more than a day.
- When rolling your cookie dough balls, place the dough back into the fridge in between batches. If you allow it to sit out and reach room temperature, the consistency will become off and the will become very difficult to roll until they are cold again.
- Rub some powdered sugar on your hands when rolling the dough balls to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
- Check your cookies at 10 minutes in. Some ovens run hotter than others.
- If you don't own a sifter to sprinkle the powdered sugar with, I've found that a coffee filter or paper cup with small holes poked in the bottom works in its place.

MapmyIndia announced that its Real View platform is now capable of building the world's first 'Digital Map Twin of the Real World'.
Real View Digital Map Twin can capture, recognize and publish "real-as-life" 3D and 360 degree maps of both outdoors and indoors via GPS, laser and panoramic camera sensors that are embedded on top of ground-based vehicles, backpacks, trains, flying drones, and trolleys that can move quickly indoors.
MapmyIndia acquired Bengaluru-based video maps provider VIDTEQ to build this digital map twin. VIDTEQ's technology allows users to view video-based directions between two different points in a city. VIDTEQ has covered more than 20 cities across the country.
"We are the pioneers in VideoMaps. By joining hands with MapmyIndia, who are the leaders in digital maps and location technologies, we would like to together build next generation Advanced VideoMaps that can power Autonomous Vehicles" said Chandra Thimmannagari, Founder and CEO at VIDTEQ.
"The MapmyIndia and VIDTEQ teams are excited to build the future of maps and location technologies together, that can make our world better" said MapmyIndia CTO Rohan Verma.
Real View platform can be updated continuously by using its IoT platform InTouch and its analytics engine Insight. InTouch processes real-time video streams, vehicle sensors data and professionally moderated crowd-sourced reports on traffic and road conditions while Insight analyses geo-tagged videos in real-time via computer-vision and machine learning techniques to recognize and extract fixed features and changing obstacles on/conditions of the roads. MapmyIndia is also using its recently launched digital address system eLoc to offer users 6 character unique alphanumeric code for the place.
"We are excited to pioneer building of the Real World's Digital Map Twin, and are proud to say that India and MapmyIndia will lead the world in mapping innovation and technologies." said MapmyIndia managing director Rakesh Verma. "We are happy to serve all our customers and users, across industry, government, automotive and consumer verticals in mapping the indoors, outdoors, in 360 degree, in 3D, and in real-time to enable a significantly better level of governance, business, transport and everyday live"

Aspen finally gets an over-the-top restaurant!!
That saying about "too many cooks" must've been created with input from like 50 people, because it sucks. For proof of just how wrong they were, look no further than the multi-cook powerhouse that is Chefs Club.Opening this weekend to coincide with both the Aspen Food & Wine fest and the St. Regis Aspen Resort's hella pricey remodel, the hotel's Club has an open kitchen, a ceiling set off with giant, decorative inlaid snowflakes, and, most notably, a selection of seasonally changing dishes designed by a rotating team of chefs, all of whom have been dubbed "Best New" by Food & Wine mag at some point. Dishes from the dream team include:
- CO Lamb Saddle (with gnocchi and Fruition Farms ricotta) dreamt up by Alex Seidel (he won in 2010) of our very own, very lauded Fruition.
- Grilled prime bistecca Fiorentina (with porcinis/arugula/fava bean) from Neapolitan pizzaiola James Lewis of Alabama spot Bettola, though opening up a nice restaurant in Alabama is more like a HugeBettola.
- The same Veal Osso Buco (with fregola/ baby carrots/ grilled leeks/ gremolata) that Top Chef Master Sue Zemanick serves in her New Orleans restaurant Gautreau's.
The menu's rounded out by a 10-strong list of specialty cocktails like the Leopold's peach whiskey/ sherry/ lime juice "Colorado Comfort", and the tequila/ mezcal/ ginger beer/ pineapple juice "St. Regis Stag", aka the lonely guy who'd love for just one other person to join him in the kitchen.

On the local level, the authorities in charge of environmental issues have limited responsibility for the environmental problems that include air protection, noise protection, communal waste management, urban planning, building permits for small buildings, as well as the strategic evaluation of plans and programs, estimation of the project's impact on environment and issuing of the integrated permits out of their jurisdiction.
The impacts of the industrial activities on the environment in the city, that are reflected in climate changes, emission of pollutants in air and water, loss of biodiversity, as well as degradation of land and ecosystems are persistently accumulated as a result of decades of excessive consumption and insufficient investment in maintenance and replacement of resources. It is necessary to invest in the economic development that is based on efficient use of natural resources, on the high level of protection and the improvement of the environmental quality. That is why it is necessary to prevent further environmental pollution and promote sustainable production and consumption, in a way that that the economic development do not cause the proportional increase of environmental degradation.
The environment pollution problems in the city are to a large extent caused by the obsolete technology and equipment, as well as of low energy and raw material efficiency, that is partially the consequence of the lack of funds for the improvement of the existing condition.
With the aim to prevent and control the pollution the efforts are put in innovation of technological processes in companies, in introduction of the best available techniques and the best environmental practices. The companies can introduce voluntary measures like certification and introduction of cleaner production, enabling more efficient consumption of raw materials and energy, reduction of emission and generation of waste. The advantage of the inclusion of the system of environmental protection management, as well as cleaner production is not only in function of environmental protection but also results in costs reduction, increase of competitiveness of technologies and skills on international markets and expansion of the market operations.
Development of clean, efficient and safe energy supply, use of less polluting energy, as well as efficient natural resources management are necessary conditions for the sustainable future.
The cooperation in ELAIN project is very important for the City of Niš as it opens new opportunities in recognition of the joint priority ecological problems, exchange of best practices and experiences in the area of environmental protection among the partner cities, defining the ability to solve them and improve the environment in the partner cities.

The 2degrees Board has appointed Mark Aue as the company's new Chief Executive.
Mark joined 2degrees in July 2018 as its Chief Financial Officer. As part of an orderly transition plan, once 2degrees appoints a new CFO to take his place, he will begin his new role as CEO and current CEO Stewart Sherriff will commence his retirement.
2degrees Chairman Brad Horwitz says the appointment followed an international search that attracted a high calibre of applicants.
"Mark has impressed the Board with his financial management, active leadership and understanding of our business today and the opportunities ahead. Coupled with his extensive local and global industry experience, we are delighted to make an appointment that will ensure stability and continued growth at 2degrees," says Mr Horwitz.
"When Stewart announced his retirement in August last year we set the bar high for his replacement. Among a very strong field of applicants Mark stood out as a leader with a clear vision for the future of 2degrees."
Mark has gained significant industry experience through financial, commercial and operational leadership roles over the course of his career. He has served as CFO of Vodafone New Zealand, CFO of Vodafone's Global Enterprise division in the UK, a Director of Vodafone Fiji, in addition to other business transformation and planning positions.
Mark says leading 2degrees is a unique opportunity, and something he had long aspired to do.
"Few companies have made as much impact on the everyday lives of kiwis as 2degrees. From a distance, I have watched the company grow from strength to strength, bringing significant benefits to the telecommunications market through its disruptive innovation and an unrelenting belief in 'fighting for fair' for all New Zealanders," says Mark.
"Since joining the team I've been impressed by the passionate culture, the strength of our people and how dearly the brand is regarded by customers. Stewart and the team have created a successful and very special organisation, and as we approach our 10th birthday, I'm honoured to take on the role of CEO and excited about what 2degrees is going to do next."

28 Feb edrizzi®: The unrivalled original.
15 years ago, Michael Eder revolutionized the surface processing industry with a cardboard box. In long time development he pursued his vision of changing the varnishing process in an economical and sustainable way: to eliminate chemicals in the separation process by the alteration from wet to dry separation. From the very first of his processing Eder focused on physics, technology and 100% recycled paper. He never considered the mere enlargement of filter surface – which doesn't even exist in the edrizzi® system. He was the first to entirely avoid filter mats extracted from mineral oil. Further aspects for the development of his product were important features like easy handling, efficient and economical delivery and storage as well as flexible installation of the product. In 2003 Eder applied the first edrizzi® cubes for patent: Paint mist separators in form of cubes, made of 100% wastepaper. The major stroke lies secretly within the inconspicuous boxes: Complex, smart labyrinth systems made of corrugated paper. Those can, with the help of the centrifugal force, hold up to 100 kg overspray/m² and more. The edrizzi® system reduces energy costs in surface sites relevantly. Furthermore, saturated edrizzi® dry scrubbers are practically disposed of just like ordinary domestic waste, and thus reduce the amount of harmful varnish scrap, which is a cost-intensive special waste.
Brainflash, Eder's company, has been developing solutions for the absorption and the recycling of overspray since the mid 1990ies. Long term business contacts enable the test of the edrizzi® system in the automotive industry already at its launch in 2003. 15 years later, car manufacturers and car parts suppliers worldwide work successfully with the edrizzi® system: Customers such as McLaren, BMW, VW, Fiat, Audi, Nissan, Renault, Daimler, Jaguar and many more have put their trust in the Austrian Made system. Globally well-known plant engineering companies such as Dürr, Geico, b&m, Eisenmann and others are designing paint shops with the implementation of the edrizzi® system, to support economical and clean dry separation. Not only the high absorption capacity and the environment aspect speak for the the edrizzi® technology's success, but also its flexibility in installation, which allows the application of the system into any kind of paint shop of the surface processing industry.
edrizzi® became synonymous for dry separation with a "cardboard box", and has since encouraged several manufacturers to produce replications. In consideration of environmental aspects, the trend towards dry absorption is to be welcomed. Due to the existing patent protection of edrizzi®, replicas lack important features of the original. Manufacturers of replications use filter mats as alternative to the patented edrizzi® corrugated paper labyrinth, which leads to restrictions in function and in disposal. edrizzi® remains – as most originals – unrivalled. Experience shows that plant operators switch back to the edrizzi® system after trials with other products.
Due to the sales cooperation with Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, edrizzi® is being distributed globally since 2016. Freudenberg (WORLDWIDE), as well as the dealers Seliba S.L. (ESP, PRT), Nittmann Filter (DEU), edrizzi® Benelux (NL, BEL, LUX) and Puco (AT, CZ, HU), cooperate with plant manufacturers to support many more surface processing companies in avoiding and reducing harmful varnish waste with the edrizzi® system.
The edrizzi® system is implemented in international paint shops.
