Despite what you might think, males and females really don't sweat differently.
In a recent scientific study that combined the use of sophisticated measurement of skin blood flow and absorbent pads stuck to various body parts, the sweatiness of a group of males and females was accurately calculated. Each study participant was sealed inside a climate chamber (a small room where the temperature and humidity can be accurately adjusted). Under warm and slightly humid conditions, each person cycled for 30 minutes and their perspiration rate during and after the exercise recorded.
The study found men sweated more than women – but the men tended to be bigger in both size (surface area) and weight. So, when size was taken into account, there were no differences in sweat rate.

Bishop's Itchington, Westley Waterless: there is plenty to smile or snigger at on a map of the UK. But in fact, these names reveal a hidden – and fascinating – history.
The drive from the town of Much Wenlock to Ashby-de-la-Zouch is 60 miles east across the English Midlands. Once you have crossed the River Severn and passed the Wrekin rising to the left – the last of the Shropshire Hills – you join the M54 at the Wrekin Retail Park. At Featherstone, you have a choice: north and then east past Lichfield and Tamworth, or southeast past Walsall, Wednesbury and Birmingham, south of Sutton Coldfield, and northeast to cross the River Tame. Either way, once you're past Appleby Magna and crossing the River Mease, you're almost there. Be sure not to make a wrong turn and end up in Donisthorpe, Newton Burgoland or Snarestone.
And just like that, in an hour and a quarter, you will have covered the great sweep of British history: from the Celts through the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians, and Normans to modern times – all as displayed in Britain's place names. (You can check out our map, not meant to be exhaustive, of some of Britain's stranger names at the bottom of this page).
British history didn't start with the Celtic peoples (Stonehenge didn't build itself, after all). But the Celtic tribes that arrived during the Iron Age, which started around 800BC, were the first to give a clear linguistic contribution that has lasted to modern times. They came in groups from the continent; those in the north spoke Goidelic (the source of Gaelic), while southerners spoke Brittonic.
Two-thirds of England's rivers take their names from Celtic
Even today, many hills and rivers have kept their Celtic names – especially in the north and west. The Wrekin takes its name from Celtic. So do about two-thirds of England's rivers: Avon, Derwent, Severn, Tees, Trent, Tyne – and Itchen, which later lent its name to the town Bishop's Itchington. (Some of these names may even have come from the people who were here before the Celts). Often the names just meant 'river' or 'water', and sometimes no one knows what they originally meant; in the Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names, AD Mills calls Severn "an ancient pre-English river name of doubtful etymology". The River Tame, which we cross on our trip to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, comes from the Celtic for 'dark one' or 'river' – as does the River Thames.
There is less Celtic influence in the south and east largely thanks to the Anglo-Saxons. When they invaded in the 6th Century AD, they pushed the Britons to the edges and into the hills. Those who stayed in England were gradually assimilated, rather like the name of the town we start our drive in, Much Wenlock. It gets its Much is from Anglo-Saxon mycel, meaning 'great' or 'much'. Wenlock comes from Celtic wininicas, 'white area', and the Anglo-Saxon loca, 'place'.
Fighting words
The Romans invaded Britain too, even before the Anglo-Saxons, first trying in 55 BC but at last succeeding in AD 43. But their linguistic influence, like their culture, left less of a mark: they built towns and garrison outposts, but they never truly made Britain their home. Roman contributions to British place names come mainly through their Latinisation of pre-Roman names. A Celtic name that had been rendered by earlier Greek visitors as Pretanniké became the Roman Britannia; an ancient name of obscure meaning became Londinium. The other major Roman contribution comes from the Latin castra ('fort'). Taken into Anglo-Saxon, it became ceaster ('town, city', pronounced rather like 'che-aster') – which has mutated to chester (Chester, Manchester), caster (Lancaster, Doncaster) and cester (Leicester, Cirencester).
Unlike the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons did not come to establish an outpost or colony – they came to move in
Unlike the Romans, however, the Anglo-Saxons did not come to establish an outpost or colony. They came to move in. The Anglo-Saxons did build forts – the word burh ('fortified place') gives Britain all of its –burghs and –burys – but what they really wanted to do was farm, build towns and conduct trade. If they encountered a forest (called a wald, wold, weald, holt or shaw) or a grove (graf, now –grove and –grave), they might clear it to make a leah (now –ly, –lay, –ley and –leigh). They would enclose land to make a worthig (–worth), ham (the source of 'home'), or tun (now –ton and the source of 'town'). Since ham was more common in the earlier years and tun later on, there are more –hams in the south, where the Anglo-Saxons first came, and more –tons in the north and west.
The Anglo-Saxons also liked to name things after themselves. The suffix –ingas (now shortened to –ing(s)) referred to the family and followers of some personage: for instance, Hæsta's folk settled at Hastings. Many a ham and tun was also named for a person, such as Birmingham, the ham of Beorma's people (Beormingas). They also named geographical features for themselves, like valleys (denu) such as Rottingdean (the valley of Rota's clan). And, before converting to Christianity, they named some places after their gods – Wednesbury is named after Woden.
The Anglo-Saxon word for fort, burh, gives Britain all of its burghs and burys
Then the Scandinavians arrived. They started in the 8th Century with raids: Danes from the east and Norsemen, coming around Scotland by sea, from the northwest. In the mid-9th Century, they staged a full-scale invasion and began to settle in the areas they controlled. At the height of Scandinavian power in Britain, they controlled an area known as the Danelaw that covered most of England north and east of a line from Liverpool to the Thames – a line you cross at Watling Street (an ancient road) as you drive northeast toward Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
Ashby, like Appleby, bears the quintessential mark of a Danish place name: –by, meaning 'farmhouse' or 'village'. Both, however, also bear the marks of the Anglo-Saxons who where there first: the apple and ash trees. Also from the Danes came both (now booth), meaning 'cattle shelter'; thorp, meaning 'satellite farm', now mostly with an excrescent e as in Donisthorpe; toft, meaning 'homestead'; and thwait, meaning 'clearing, meadow, or paddock' – now also with that unnecessary e.
French connection
In 1066, the Normans came: Frenchmen, many of whom were descended from assimilated Viking invaders of France. William took over the government and gave ownership of many places to knights who had supported him. Ashby was given to the de la Zuche family; Newton ('new town or enclosed settlement') was given to the Burgilons (now Newton Burgoland). The invasion also led to French versions of English originals, such as Rievaulx, translated from Ryedale. There are pure French names that later were shaped by English influence, such as Beamish from beau mes ('beautiful mansion'), Bewdley from beau lieu ('beautiful place') and Ridgemont from rouge mont ('red hill'). The Normans' scribes, educated in Latin, also gave Latin additions such as Appleby Magna and Lyme Regis – and even the occasional full name, such as Pontefract (pons fractus, 'broken bridge').
Under the Norman French, the commoners kept speaking English – which was still evolving and came to add many French words
But the Norman French did not settle in with the same comfort as the Anglo-Saxons and the Scandinavians, and certainly not in the same numbers. The commoners – made up of Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians and remaining Celts – kept speaking English, which was still evolving and came to add many French words.
In time, English again became the language of rule. The court, which had increasingly intermarried with English speakers, resumed speaking English in the 14th Century; parliament returned to it in the 15th Century. Ultimately, the stubbornness of the Anglo-Saxon language conquered in the end. How else could a 'south-town coalfield' become Sutton Coldfield? Wet clearings (water leas) at the west clearing (west leah) become Westley Waterless? A muddy place (slohtre) turn to Slaughter (Upper and Lower)?
And so it is that you can, in 60 miles, go from the Celtic hills, through the Anglo-Saxon and old Celtic towns, across the pre-Celtic, Celtic, and Anglo-Saxon rivers, past faint traces of the Romans, cross into Danish territory, and find the French nobility.
All in one language: English.

Brake 5 was birthed seven years ago after the Lord walked me through a four year healing process from experiencing a rape and the many issues that accompany such a trauma. During those four years of healing, God began to show me how He loves and cherishes His daughters. He asked me to simply show His love to those that surrounded my life at the time. It is through this testament that God has been glorified and lives have been changed. What began with just a few now reaches worldwide.
Our Father enjoys showing His love and telling His daughters how much He values them. He cares for the very simplest of details in our lives as much as He cares for the huge hurdles and storms that cross our life's journey. So, for this I am thankful even if in some small way your life has been touched by His words.
I am thankful for . . .
His love and salvation
Freedom that births character and strength
The healing He has brought to so many
Most importantly I am thankful for you!
You are His treasure and because of you He is able to reach so many. Be His vessel this Thanksgiving by shining a light for Him in all that you do. Be the smile that one may need to make it through this holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Keep smilin',

15: We arrived as the Duke Chapel was closing. We did get to peek in and walk around the outside. Duke Chapel, a Neo-Gothic architecture in the English style. is characterized by large stone piers, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, which allow the creation of vast open spaces, uninterrupted by columns for support. The Chapel is constructed of a volcanic stone from a quarry in Hillsborough, NC, which was purchased by the University for the construction of West Campus. Known as Hillsborough bluestone, the beautiful and distinctive stone actually ranges in color through 17 shades, from rust orange to slate gray. The stones are of varying sizes, all cut to the same proportions (twice as long as they are high). The pulpit, lectern, and other trimmings are made of Indiana limestone. The vaults of the choir are made of stone, but the walls and vaults of the nave and transepts are made of Guastavino tile, a ceramic tile also used in such structures as New York's Grand Central Station, the Queensboro Bridge, and Grant's Tomb. When James B. Duke selected the site for Duke University West Campus, in 1925, he chose to locate the Chapel on the sites highest ridge. The Chapel was the first building planned for the new campus, but the last one to be completed. Construction started in 1930, was completed in 1935, and cost nearly $2.3 million. The Chapel began to be used before its stained-glass windows and other details were finished; commencement was held in the Chapel in 1932.

21: World War II
22: July 11, 2011 | Washington Monument | Library of Congress This was VERY impressive.
23: We are waiting for our 8:15 a.m. appointment.
24: The finest of every building material was used. to create the amazing architecture. "Bookish quotes" were used as trim.
25: The Library of Congress was established by an act of Congress in 1800 when President John Adams signed a bill providing for the transfer of the seat of government from Philadelphia to the new capital city of Washington.
27: Established with $5,000 appropriated by the legislation, the original library was housed in the new Capitol until August 1814, when invading British troops set fire to the Capitol Building, burning and pillaging the contents of the small library. Within a month, retired President Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library as a replacement. Jefferson had spent 50 years accumulating books, "putting by everything which related to America, and indeed whatever was rare and valuable in every science"; his library was considered to be one of the finest in the United States. In offering his collection to Congress, Jefferson anticipated controversy over the nature of his collection, which included books in foreign languages and volumes of philosophy, science, literature, and other topics not normally viewed as part of a legislative library. He wrote, "I do not know that it contains any branch of science which Congress would wish to exclude from their collection; there is, in fact, no subject to which a Member of Congress may not have occasion to refer." In January 1815, Congress accepted Jefferson's offer, appropriating $23,950 for his 6,487 books, and the foundation was laid for a great national library. The Jeffersonian concept of universality, the belief that all subjects are important to the library of the American legislature, is the philosophy and rationale behind the comprehensive collecting policies of today's Library of Congress. In late 1851 the most serious fire in the Library's history destroyed about two-thirds of its fifty-five thousand volumes, including two-thirds of Jefferson's library. The Library kicked off its Bicentennial Gifts to the Nation Project on April 14 with a news conference announcing a $1 million gift to replace books lost in an 1851 fire that burned nearly two-thirds of Thomas Jefferson's library, which Congress had bought for $23,950 in 1815. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his wife, Gene, present Dr. Billington with a copy of Hermes, or a Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Universal Grammar to launch the effort to reconstruct Thomas Jefferson's library. - Glen Krankowski Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, and his wife, Gene, presented their gift to the Library during a semiannual meeting of the Library's Madison Council, which they have supported for the past seven years. The spiral of books has different colored ribbons showing the original books and Jones' replacements. Boxes the size of the books to be replaced still fill in the blanks.
28: Thanks for the memories Bob Hope!
29: We enjoyed watching a squirrel on this beautiful day! | Union Station | Melanie and Holly enjoyed "Chopped". The salads were great!
31: Supreme Court Visit | The Chief Justice and 8 associate justices make up the Supreme Court, the highest judicial authority in the United States. They decide whether actions of Congress, the President, the states and the lower courts follow the principles of the Constitution. Out of approximately 7,000 cases submitted each year to the Supreme Court, only about 100 cases are heard. Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman Justice.
33: Arlington National Cemetery
36: Just inside the iron gates where 4 million visitors enter every year, a sign spells it right out: "Welcome to Arlington National Cemetery, Our Nation's Most Sacred Shrine. Please Remember: These Are Hallowed Grounds." | There are 240,000 Americans buried here on 612 acres of rolling hills. The amphitheater is known as "America's Temple of Patriotism."
39: The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, just seconds after take off, killing all seven crew members. | Faces and names are carved on the monument (group headstone of commingled cremains in monument base), but also have remains buried elsewhere, listed clockwise from 11:00: Commander Michael J.

McNair, Mission Specialist Ellison Onizuka, Mission Specialist S. Christa McAuliffe, Payload Specialist (and teacher) Gregory B. Jarvis, Payload Specialist Judith A. Resnik, Mission Specialist
40: Interesting facts about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Sentinels of the Third United States Infantry Regiment "Old Guard" Q: How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? A: 21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary. A: His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle. Q: Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time, and if not, why not?
41: A: No, he carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder. Q: How often are the guards changed? A: Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. Q: What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? A: For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10" and 6' 2" tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30". Other requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. They cannot swear in public FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After TWO YEARS, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. The first SIX MONTHS of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends FIVE HOURS A DAY getting his uniforms ready for guard duty. Carved on the East side (the front of the Tomb, which faces Washington, D.C.) is a composite of three figures, commemorative of the spirit of the Allies of World War I. In the center of the panel stands Victory (female). On the right side, a male figure symbolizes Valor.On the left side stands Peace, with her palm branch to reward the devotion and sacrifice that went with courage to make the cause of righteousness triumphant. The north and south sides are divided into three panels by Doric pilasters. In each panel is an inverted wreath. On the west, or rear, panel (facing the Amphitheater) is inscribed: HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD
42: Alexandria, Virginia | The George Washington Masonic Memorial was built in the 1920s by the more than two million American Freemasons was right down the street from our hotel. One morning Melanie and I walked downtown to see if we could find the Brighton store. Melanie is enjoying collecting the bracelets and charms.
43: We ate at IHOP, Dunki' Donuts, Joe Theismann's place, and Pentagon City Mall.
44: The Capitol Tour arranged by Texas's Hensarling's office. Our aide was very well informed.
46: The National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol is comprised of statues donated by individual states to honor persons notable in their history. The entire collection now consists of 100 statues contributed by 50 states. All 50 states have contributed two statues each.
47: In Statuary Hall, which used to be the old House chamber, a small disk on the floor marks the spot where John Quincy Adams was fatally stricken after more than 50 years of service to his country. A whisper from one side of this room can be heard across the vast space of the hall.
48: Above is "the best view of the Statue of Freedom", originally named "Freedom Triumphant in War and Peace". The statue depicts a female figure holding a sheathed sword in her right hand and a laurel wreath and shield in her left hand In the underground tunnel we saw Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and his entourage. The tunnel was lined with student art.
49: Bureau of Printing and Engraving was our next tour. We would make it back to the condo in time to watch the All Star game. It would have been difficult to get much more packed into this day!
50: How funny to measure your height in money! I am $1,537,800 tall!
52: July 13 we enjoyed the National Cathedral.
62: The View From the Top

70: The view from the patio includes the "Missing Man" monument, the National Cathedral, and the Watergate Hotel.
71: George Washington's Mount Vernon
72: It was an awesome vacation. I don't think we could have done much more in the time. We drove back to Fuquay Varina where we had pimento cheese and orange drink at the drugstore. The Campbell's packed up and were on the plane home to Dallas by 7 p.m.! The End

Bond financings for military housing privatization projects could be hurt by the estimated $350 billion in spending cuts called for under last month's agreement to raise the nation's debt ceiling, according to a new report from Moody's Investors Service.
Credit ratings for bond financings would be affected only by budget cuts that create a potential for lowering the revenue stream supporting the bonds. Where the reductions fall matters, as certain cuts could be broad and affect all bond financings, while other cutbacks could be limited to certain installations and have an impact only on associated projects, the report said.
The largest threat to housing projects would come from prospective changes to the basic allowance for housing service members receive from DOD. These payments are the principal revenue source to pay operating expenses on projects and the debt service on bonds.
A reduction in the end strength of the military — or a reorganization of units — also would be significant as it would shrink the number of tenants available to live in military housing.
Other budget changes could have more localized effects on housing privatization projects, Moody's said. Cuts in spending on weapons systems, the elimination of major projects or a decision to slow the pace of shipbuilding, for example, could result in a smaller pool of tenants for housing at specific bases. Similarly, a new round of base closings — if Congress were to authorize one — would harm bond financings at affected installations.
Belt-tightening at the Pentagon also could reduce the department's flexibility to invest funds in housing projects facing challenges affecting their financing, such as construction delays or low occupancy.
Offsetting the potential for DOD budget cuts to harm bond financings are several positive credit factors associated with the military's housing privatization program, including the presence of experienced management teams and strong market positions, the report stated.
Moody's does not expect to take any rating actions in the near term, with the potential impact of budget cuts occurring over a longer horizon.

A Look Back: Fixing Our Streets fixes SW Main Street, a gateway to downtown Portland
Transforming a street for the 21st CenturyRead More…

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 800, Portland, OR 97204
(Feb. 22, 2018) Central City in Motion is Portland's plan for strategic investments to accommodate a rapidly growing population living and working in downtown and the Central Eastside and a Sounding Board group is helping guide the process. The project, which will build on existing long-range plans and identify next generation investments, includes numerous infrastructure improvements including: safer intersections, separated bikeways, transit priority treatments, and clear demarcation of street space for freight, transit, and bicycles.
To that end, a Sounding Board was established by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to voice a broad set of community and business perspectives. The members are charged with "thinking big" about the future of transportation in the central city to help the project team define a network of investments that considers the many different demands and uses. Specifically, the Sounding Board has been asked to:
The Sounding Board is meeting five times from late-2017 to mid-2018, in addition to providing one-on-one strategic advice to the project team. On January 18, 2018, the Sounding Board members convened for the second time and provided feedback on streets under consideration for transit priority, low-stress bikeway and pedestrian safety improvements. The discussion has helped inform the project team's approach as we prepare for an interactive online open house, which will go live at the end of the month.
More information on the project and the Sounding Board, including member profiles, agendas, meeting minutes, and presentation materials, can be found under the Central City in Motion website at: www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/ccim

Shelf appeal is the target for all folding carton printers and converters, and innovative packages and promotional items that jump off the shelves are key. The vast majority of shoppers are now making buying decisions at the last minute, based on the package design on the shelf. At the same time, brand owners are demanding shorter runs of packages as they segment the market and produce seasonal, regional or event-driven products.
So what makes your package stand out from the rest?

Heads up folks! Spread the word!
Open Video Sprint London #ovforum
April 18-20, 2013
MS Stubnitz
Course, xm:lab report, Blog post
The workshop / course sprint facilitated by Mick Fuzz from FLOSS Manuals is part of the international Open Video series launched with the Open Video Forum in 2012. The current version of the course, created at a Berlin sprint last year, is part of the School of Open,a collaboration between Creative Commons and P2P University.
Our goal is to produce an introductory course for open video in the areas of end-user technologies (viewing, encoding, editing, subtitling etc) and developer tools (transcoding, web applications, developing for mobile devices).
This course will be published as an OER (open educational resource). It will promoted specifically as part of the Mokolo project supporting film and developer networks in Africa, for example the recent Open Video Sudan event.
As the course is openly licensed it will be available for widespread use.
Location: London MS Stubnitz ship
Date: 18-20th April 2013
We are looking for people swimming in the sea of free software / open source tools, open video frameworks and creating innovative learning. Desirable skills include one or more of the following:
* Knowledge of open video for end user technologies or software development
* Writing skills in the area of open educational resources
* Experience in delivering workshops
* Connections to relevant networks to disseminate our work
If you are getting this email then we think this sounds like you. Would you be interested in attending? Please get back to us if you think you may be able to attend and we will inform you about the process and logistics of this course sprint.
What's in it for You:
* We'll cover accommodation, meals, and have a small budget to include travel expenses (so lets us know if you need support asap, we'll see what we can do)
* We can offer small contributor stipends, depending on how long you can stay
* You get to be part of an ongoing effort to bring more people (especially from newer netcultures) into free software / open source debates around visual media via the creation of open educational resources (courses will be translated)
* You will leave with a set of resources to deliver workshops on open video and lots of new subject knowledge
* P2p education is perhaps the most significant change in the way (higher) education is organized – let's make it work
Background Info:
A course sprint is a way of rapidly creating and testing teaching resources. It is based on the work of Adam Hyde on Book Sprints and is one of FLOSS Manuals tools of rapid, collaborative content creation. Course sprints are a space for participants to learn from each other, find synergies in our knowledge, and in the process, create innovative online learning resources.
We will use the Book Type software to immediately print materials from our online workspace at the end of the sprint.
MS Stubniz is a mobile location for performance, arts, music and other odd stuff.
This is the last month that the ship is moored in London, why not take advantage of this opportunity to check it out before the boat sails.
Associated Events:
Sat 20th of April see Exploding Cinema event also taking place on MS Stubniz – "a spray of DIY film, projection mapping, installation, performance and video echo location". For more info and call for work : film, performance and music".

The office is bumping with egg-citement as we approach the Easter long weekend! (Who doesn't love long weekends and Easter?!)
We thought we should help you to keep yourself busy this long weekend. How? Read on!
In order to keep you, your loved ones, and friends busy this Easter, Vancouver has a lot going on that involves egg hunts and bunnies! (Yaay!)
In no particular order, listed below are some of the places you can visit this Easter weekend –
Stanley Park has an Easter miniature train going on until Easter Monday. So, bring the kiddies and enjoy the train ride, egg hunt, and bunnies. Cross your fingers for good weather, but knowing rain-couver…bring an umbrella just in case!
(But what if you have no kiddies around? Worry not! We have more options for you to choose from)
VanDusen Botanical Garden will also be having egg hunts on Saturday and Sunday. Imagine the excitement of running around the lovely gardens! (The trees, the flowers, the weather! Ah! We are dreaming of that already!)Young or old, we are sure everyone will enjoy this so don't forget to get your tickets in advance. (Yes, you need the tickets!)
Community Centres local to your neighbourhood should all have something going on at least for the kids! If we listed all of them here, this would be a really boring post! But according to our research, many community centres are holding Easter festivities at little or no cost…so, it's definitely worth a check out!
Moving away from Vancouver a little, the Chilliwack Corn Maze will also be holding an egg hunt for those who want a little more of a challenge 😉 The hunt will only be on Friday and Saturday so make sure you pick a good day!
Now if you don't have kids and think you're too "old" for egg hunts (although we know you secretly find joy in them like us), why not call the friends and family out for a lovely brunch? And, we hope you know who can help you to get the Easter party started! 😉
Here is wishing Everyone a Happy Easter! From our DD family to your's!

According to me, one of the most interesting management articles ever was written in 1992 by Schaffer and Thomson. To me, this article in its simplicity and results-focus was kind of like solution-focused change management avant la lettre. Their thought-provoking article was called 'Successful change programs begin with results'. I can't find a direct link to the article but here is a powerpoint presentation about it. Schaffer and Thomson call many change programs activity centered: the focus is on means and processes instead of on outcomes. Great effort is put in implementing programs, methods etc., like total quality management, reengineering and so on, in the hope that results will then automatically follow. The authors defy this logic. They claim that these activity centered approaches hardly ever work because the desired outcomes remain too vague, the change efforts are too large-scale and diffuse, and because means and goals are confused (the method seems to become more important than the originally desired outcomes). Schaffer and Thomson advocate a results-driven improvement process, which has the following characteristics:
- Organizations only introduce management and process innovations if necessary;
- Empirical tests show what works and what not;
- Frequent successes create new energy for improvement;
- Management creates a continuous learning process by applying lessons learnt in new phases.

CC4 - The Smugglers 4
It's been fun tracking the moral standing of The First Doctor during his tenure in the programme, from being aloof and selfish in the early days, to where he is in The Smugglers. When given the chance to flee the scene in the earlier stories, he would have done so at a moment's notice. Now, when time travel newbies Ben and Polly see a way for them to get out of their scrape relatively unscathed, The Doctor stands firm. It was because of his dealings with Captain Pike that has put the village in danger, and so he is staying out of "moral obligation" to try and prevent the village from suffering any recrimination.
I like that this has been a very gradual change in The Doctor's character. One can't pinpoint a specific moment or a telling close-up camera shot that displays, in black and white (literally and figuratively), that The Doctor has changed his attitude to those around him and how his actions affect them. The fact that this change spans over three seasons worth of Doctor Who makes it seem that much more real. So often in shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation, for instance, characters would, during the course of a 43-minute episode, encounter a situation unfamiliar to them, deal with it, and then look longingly off into the distance, reflecting on the fact that they just learned something and probably gained 20 experience points along the way.
This is the most overt portrayal of The Doctor's philanthropic nature yet, though, in that he is willing to discover the lost treasure for Captain Pike, and hand the dastardly smuggler the entire prize in exchange for the safety of the entire village. In the end, of course, The Doctor never has to keep his promise, as several people, including Pike himself, die in sword fights, leaving things for the king's taxman, Blake, to clean up. Then and only then, when all the pieces of The Doctor's plan are about to fall into place, does he flee the situation, further enhancing his new fondness for leaving before any questions are asked.
Good little story, this, but do your best to try and track down a better quality copy of the Loose Cannon reconstruction than the one I stumbled upon!

This morning at the "Y" a man asked me what is the most difficult part of being a pastor. I think getting people to fully trust God by moving from selfish to selflessness is the greatest challenge. My experience is that it is relatively easy to get seekers to accept Jesus' incredible offer of mercy, grace and forgiveness. That means to accept Jesus as their Savior. But getting them to accept Him as the driving force of life (Lord), while not impossible, it is extremely difficult. We are all selfish. We all want to be in control. I do and so do you. We want to write the rules for life. I do and so do you. We want to love whom we want to love and hate whom we want to hate. I do and so do you. We want to choose the people we will forgive and the hell with the rest. Most all of us need someone or some group to look down upon. We want to do what we want when we want. With few exceptions we are this way. Oh, how we do want to be in charge!
The night before Jesus was murdered He modeled for us what should be the mantra of every Christ follower when he said, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet, I want your will to be done, not mine." (Matthew 26:39 NLT)
Earlier he had summed up, in two succinct bullet points, exactly what God expects from us.
● Love God with our whole heart.
● Love everybody.
That is Jesus' action plan for life. My guess is that nobody reading this is actually doing either. Think what would happen to us and everybody else if we did. We would be like Jesus — the Man most of us are falsely claiming to follow.
Something to Think About

This is Teavana's crème de la crème of white tea. This is my bread and butter tea. While I'm on the topic of bread, I'll also point out about the flavor that if tea and butter had a child, this is probably what it would taste like. The texture of the tea liquor has almost a viscosity to it.
After a day with challenges, this is my tea. After a day with something to celebrate, this is my tea. Fortunately, today I am celebrating a good day with this tea and the Avett Brother's Pretty Girl from Cedar Lane.

But Girls Can't Grow Moustaches! (or: Why Nonprofit Professionals Should Volunteer)
This month I'm raising money for Movember. And no, that's not a typo. Movember is a national fundraising and awareness campaign for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. Since launching in 2004, the campaign has raised close to $250,000,000 globally, and growth continues exponentially.
It's a genius campaign, actually. Throughout the month, men across the world grow facial hair in various shapes and sizes, effectively becoming walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. And their friends, family and social networks join in the fun by tracking their mo-progress and becoming their mo-sponsors.
But girls can't grow moustaches! Fortunately, this is an equal-opportunity fundraising campaign, and as a mo-sista I have committed to tapping my own networks to raise money and awareness around this critical issue.
Why Am I Doing This? Why Should You?
Aren't I busy enough? As a nonprofit professional who sits on a couple boards and volunteers in my free time, why on earth would I want to take on another cause? And an even better question, why am I encouraging you to do the same?
It's volunteering.
Just because we get paid to do good doesn't mean we shouldn't also give some free time to it, as well. Volunteering for causes you care about enriches your life in ways that paid work just can't seem to do. It's also an opportunity to try out new skills and meet new people.
It's meaningful.
When I was a teenager my grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, he was treated early and fully recovered. Unfortunately, more and more people have similar stories, many of them not ending as happily. With my grandpa in mind, I want to help end these horrible diseases once and for all.
It's important.
- 1 in 6 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes.
- 660 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every day in the U.S.
- Every 15 minutes, a man dies from prostate cancer in the U.S.
- Over 90% of prostate cancer cases are curable if detected and treated early.
Enough said.
It's fun.
Our work can be stressful. Sometimes it's hard to stay focused on the bigger picture when we're bogged down with the day-to-day craziness that surrounds us as the many hat-wearers of nonprofit staff people (especially this time of year).
Movember is all the things mentioned above, and it's also a ton of fun. I get to giggle at my friends' funny moustaches, rally my social networks and raise money for a good cause. Nothing better to refresh and re-energize me for the holiday season.
So I urge you to find your own Movember – some fun way to blow off steam while doing good. You can choose to help out in a different role within your organization, or you could volunteer for another cause you care about. Either way, find a way to keep your passion alive.
(And, if you were moved by my Movember manifesto, feel free to donate to my campaign or spread the word. Every $5 donation means more resources for men's health and cancer prevention and treatment.)
How do you keep your passion alive?

Happy New Year fellow underwater toggers
Hope you all had a lovely time and are looking forward to some great diving in 2016, I know I am.
Egypt and the Middle East has had its troubles in the last year, but I for one am going all out to support my colleagues and friends in the dive industry out there, and I'm pleased to say my first two photo trips of the year are now fully subscribed.
The Winter Warmers are always popular, and with the quality of diving in Egypt at the best I've ever seen it recently, I'm pleased to see the UK diving community pulling together and still visiting this paragon of world diving only a relatively short flight away.
If you'd like to see why folk love the photo trips and the Winter Warmers then check out this page and click here you may well want to join us on a future photo trip,
The Decisive Moment….
This little blog is about choosing the right moment to take your shot, and I've picked a couple of shots to illustrate exactly what I mean.
It's very easy when diving to get carried away in the moment and get a bit trigger happy, and this isn't the worst crime in the world, in fact I've written about it previously here.
And repeating your pictures to get just the right one is often but not always the key to getting consistently good underwater pictures.
Sometimes though you may only get one opportunity to allow all the various elements of your picture to fall into place, and the first shot I'm using is one such example.
I was conducting a summer workshop in Egypt and we were at Ras Mohammed, more specifically Shark Reef, and as is the norm at that time of the year there was lovely schools of fish at the place.
There was a school of Bohar Snapper, which a number of our group were shooting and alongside these was a constantly changing and swirling group of Batfish.
I tend to keep away from what the main group are shooting a lot of the time, as I feel that it's not my holiday, and that it's more important that they get nice pictures of the main event. So there was only me and my friend Reda with the Batfish at that time. The current and the fish were starting to move quite quickly behind Shark Reef, and so Reda and I stuck with it, I had taken a couple of shots using available light but where I was wasn't working for this, which is unusual as I prefer Batfish in available light.
So strobes it was and to see how you balance strobes with available light I've done a tutorial, please click here and a more advanced one please click here
To lend scale I like to use a diver in shot, but I'm picky about how they look, I don't like them obscured by anything, or too close to the edge of the frame, nor do I like their bubbles to be in the wrong place,and as before I've done a previous article about this so if you'd like please click here to see it.
Because the Batfish were receding away from me I was only easily able to expose the foreground ones with flash, maybe with more time I could have got it, but to be honest Im more about getting the compositional elements right first if I can.
So I got this shot by simply waiting for the batfish to move out of the way of the gap that Reda was occupying, you can help this of course by making small adjustments to your own positioning too, and when everything is correct take the picture.
He was shooting with his GoPro so was oblivious to me there than as a buddy, so he had no idea he was being used for modelling purposes.
A good dose of luck helps too, but you can make yourself more lucky by practicing these things and learning to recognise when the moment occurs.
Too often folk get overcome with the excitement of things and the dive starts to dominate the photography. Don't get me wrong I'm not suggesting that you eschew all your enjoyment of the dive just to get a picture, but you need to appreciate everything whilst keeping control of yourself and the camera technicalities.
Here is a picture taken over ten years ago on a very early digital compact camera at exactly the same spot but with just available light this time, and if your new to this here's a series of posts I did on available light to help you here.
My last example is a much more recent picture taken a few months back in the Maldives and if you'd like to read the blog its from then please click here
Again luck plays a big part here but it was all about waiting for the decisive moment.
I have a great itinerary coming up this year with trips to Egypt, the Philippines, Mexico, Indonesia and maybe a few more along the way too.
This years underwater photo trips with me.
If you're new to the blogs I post them weekly ,sometimes more, on a variety of underwater photography based themes, and you can now load them onto your tablets and smartphones to read offline by downloading the PDF which is accessible by a link at the bottom of the page.

The 57th BFI London Film Festival is currently underway in London, and Luke Grima from Wanna go to the Movies? has kindly agreed to share his thoughts on the films he has had the opportunity to see. After the jump check out Luke's thoughts on The Armstrong Lie, Enough Said and Afternoon Delight.
The Armstrong Lie
An exposition of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong as he trains for his eighth Tour de France victory. But as misfortune would have it, the story of the comeback becomes a story of Armstrong's cheating career.
The Armstrong Lie kicks off my first film at this year's LFF, a documentary about former Tour de France "seven time winner" cyclist Lance Armstrong. Director Alex Gibney's first aim for the film was to chronicle Armstrong's comeback. But as certain circumstances happened, the film would then focus of Armstrong's alleged doping charges which he admitted and was found guilty for.
The film is about 2 hours long, which might be slightly too much but Gibney has thoroughly researched his ideas and has a lot of good, intimate footage of Armstrong and his team. We see the Armstrong that may well be the real him. A man who will do anything not too lose without any thought of the moral issue. He's almost unapologetic and a serious liar. "I didn't live a lot of lies, I just lived one big one – which is better, I suppose." he says near the beginning of the film.
While the film is long, it's still a decent documentary. Love or hate him, Lance Armstrong makes for riveting reading and his fall from grace story. Because of the misfortunes of the story it is a little disjointed but I think Gibney's does great with deal he was handed. A solid enough start to this years London Film Festival 2013.
Enough Said
A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) – a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client.
Enough Said is a very charming, funny and perfectly acted almost swan-song for the late James Gandolfini. He, and Julia Louis Dreyfus have perfect, natural chemistry on-screen. They really play of each other incredibly well.
The film also boasts a solid supporting cast of Catherine Keener, who plays Gandolfini's neat poet ex-wife as well as Toni Collette and Ben Falcone which despite having less screen time is always funny.
Overall Enough Said is simply wonderful. It's lovely adult romantic comedic drama in a Nora Ephron mould. The cast is perfect and the acting is impeccable. A rather bitter-sweet but always hilarious story. At the end you just feel like you've had a giant warm bear-hug from Gandolfini's flawed but loveable character.
Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) is a quick-witted and lovable stay-at-home mom. Frustrated with the realities of preschool auctions, a lackluster sex life and career that's gone kaput, Rachel visits a strip club to spice up her marriage and meets McKenna (Juno Temple), a stripper she adopts as her live-in nanny.
Afternoon Delight is a real strange film. For starters, it's not very good. It's incredibly disjointed and confused. It really can't work out what it wants to be. It has moments of humour but did it match with its tone? I wasn't really convinced.
The positive is the acting. Kathryn Hahn shows she can handle a slightly more dramatic role compared to her filmography and is generally very solid. The same can be said for Josh Radnor, Juno Temple and even Jane Lynch's small but memorable performance.
Like I said before, it's a very muddled story which simply doesn't work. Full of characters that are unlikable to a point you don't care a thing for them. Even Juno Temple (who I think is blooming amazing) can't even drag this to anything past watchable. Starting to forget the last film she's done where she kept all her clothes on.

Is the protection of a handful of multi-millionaire farmers the highest trade priority for federal politicians? On the eve of an election and near the culmination of the most important trade talks in a decade, all of Canada's major political parties last week enthusiastically endorsed a Parliamentary motion which threatens to banish our economy to the fiscal hinterland. It puts at risk a half-trillion dollars in annual exports, just under half of our entire GDP so supply-managed growers can avoid making an honest living.
The reckless resolution, proposed by the Bloc Québecois and unanimously adopted, calls on Canada's negotiators at the world trade talks to insist on no reductions in the high level of protection guaranteed to supply-managed commodities. While Canadian consumers in general enjoy some of the lowest food costs in the world, we also pay some of the highest prices for select items, due to obscene tariff levels.
Different levels of tariff protect certain commodities:
These levies effectively prevent identical but cheaper products from entering the country. They also build up the phantom, paper-asset value of production quotas imposed on the respective products, to the point where permission to milk a tiny 100-head dairy herd is worth between $2-3.5 million, depending on where you live. These are the same sort of hurdles our exporters face around the world, foolish barriers to specialization that the trade talks are intended to abolish.
A successful resolution to the Doha round of trade talks next month in Hong Kong would go a long way towards solving the problem. The talks have something positive to offer every country and industry, regardless of political philosophy. But you wouldn't guess that from the rhetoric coming out of Ottawa.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, we trade goods and services worth $2.4 billion a day with the rest of the world, or about $100 million per hour. The Department has estimated that the elimination of global trade barriers would confer $60 billion a year in benefits to Canada's economy. The George Morris Centre, an Ontario-based agricultural think tank, did a study with a similar conclusion that put the benefits in the neighbourhood of $50 billion, but admitted its figures are probably low.
Humanitarians concerned with Third-World poverty should be excited about the benefits that would flow to the poorest peoples in developing countries. Last year's report from the Copenhagen Consensus listed trade liberalization number three, after HIV and malnutrition, on their top-ten priority list for improving the state of the world. The report projected economic gains to developing countries from the removal of trade barriers in a range from $US100 to over $US400 billion, an amount which utterly dwarfs current foreign-aid efforts. While the benefit-to-cost ratio of liberalizing trade for the world would average about 24 to 1, for developing countries it would be more like 38 to 1.
Environmentally minded groups are also recognizing the wasteful, ultimately harmful effects of subsidies and tariffs on the planet's eco-systems. Greenpeace is currently focusing on energy subsidies, the World Wildlife Fund on financial supports to fisheries and Friends of the Earth on subsidy reform in general. Even the majority of Canada's farmers acknowledge they'd be better off in a freer trading environment as 90% of them export 80% of what they produce, and tariffs are responsible for over half of global price distortions.
In the long run, we'd all be better off if we weaned the remaining 10% of farmers off their heroin-like dependence on radical government intervention in the marketplace. Yet our leaders prefer to pander to narrow special interest groups intent on preserving special privileges.
Some believe the worst that could happen with a collapse of world trade talks is a return to the status quo. They are grossly mistaken. Defaulting to current agreements would invariably lead to a rise in protectionism. Most countries are not yet maximizing the amount of subsidies and tariffs they can legally use under the current rules. The United States and the European Union, for example, can increase by $33 billion the amount they spend on "amber-box" supports, subsidies they are supposed to be reducing, and both can spend an unlimited amount of money on "blue-box" supports, subsidies intended to lower production levels. Such increases would be disastrous for Canada. We need some kind of agreement just to preserve the status quo.
Rather than saying "No" to special interests, our politicians are willing to risk the financial well-being of the whole nation, condemn Third-World countries to permanent impoverishment and perpetuate a wasteful use of resources that hurts the environment. Their common lack of leadership on trade highlights the absurd lengths to which they are willing to go to be "all things to all people" at election time. Nobody who voted last week for that resolution deserves a single vote

Secretes of Self Confidence and know how to improve self-confidence!
In a nutshell, CONFIDENCE can be attributed as below: -
C: Controlled
O: Objective
N: Nurture
F: Friendly
I: Intellectual
D: Dedicated
E: Enthusiastic
N: Noble
C: Cherished
E: Engaged
All the above traits together demonstrate CONFIDENCE in a person.
Know how to improve your self-confidence and boost it to a level where you influence others by your best qualities and feel confident in every situation: -
Secretes of Self Confidence-
I have often encountered people desperate to know the secretes of self-confidence and when I met them, I asked just one question- Do you know the recipe of your favorite cuisine? And I always got a 'Yes'.
Cummon, how does it make sense?? How does knowing a recipe relates to improving your self-confidence.
...And I said it's a secret recipe. All one should know is correct ingredients and perfect proportions of these ingredients to improve the taste of his/her favorite cuisine.
Improving your Confidence is more like preparing your favorite cuisine, all you should be aware of is – The Key Ingredients.
And Here I go…to serve all the Ingredients at your table which would help you configure your self-confidence in your own way:
- Belief in yourself:
Remember, the day you started learning to drive a CAR (or a motor bike) and the level of self – belief you possessed throughout your learning phase before you became an expert in driving.
Self-belief keeps you motivated and supplies energy to beat the challenges and come out of any problems in life.
How can someone start believing in himself after so many years??
It's practically damn easy, start making promises to yourself and eventually accomplish. Start with small (and not so hard) promises initially and give your best to keep those promises. Each success would contribute toward strengthening your self-belief. Practice it quite often and gradually move towards more achieving more challenging promises.
- Come out of your comfort zone:
Let me ask you following questions-
What do you generally do over a weekend??
How do you spend your leisure time??
If your answers are anything which doesn't challenge your emotional or physical comfort at all, you might need to re-visit your weekends to -do list. Take some time to explore the areas where you feel less confident and slowly push yourself towards perfection. Remember, Home-work is always important. Try to make yourself more socially engaged & spend quality time with family.
- The fear of failure (FOF) doesn't exist:
'Failure' is just an out-come of an activity, there could be several reasons for a failure; however, the FOF exists only in our mind and not in reality. It comes from our previous experiences of failure and the intensity of fear depends on how bad have we felt in past about our failures.
Now, its time to stop thinking bad about failures which would eventually result in lesser FOF in future. Subsequently, the level of confidence would also increase dramatically. Focus on the 'learning' from failures to stop fabricating negative feeling about a Failure.
- Stay Motivated for Self-confidence:
Like any other human traits, confidence is also not permanent. Motivations and achievements are the only factors which keeps protecting your self-confidence.
- Confidence build leadership:
Your growing confidence may not be liked or accepted at first in your close circles, don't get disappointed as this is the first sign of success on your way to achieve self-confidence. Most Great Leaders now were not liked much initially.
- Don't miss your daily physical exercise:
The high level of Self-confidence can be maintained only in healthy conditions and physical exercise plays a vital role in keeping a good health and mental stability.
So, now you know the secrets of improving your self-confidence. Please write to me if you are facing any challenges in improving your self-confidence. All the best… 🙂

In a true rivalry game that saw seven tie scores and 11 lead changes, the East Central University men's basketball team claimed a 64-59 win over arch rival Southeastern Oklahoma State at Boomer Sullivan Arena for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
The Tigers (10-6, 7-3 GAC) were led by senior Colby Carr, who tallied 13 points and added eight rebounds. Redshirt freshman A.J. Moutry tallied 12 points and junior Brandon Lucas contributed 11.
The first half started like a true rivalry game, with both teams trading baskets and leads for the first three minutes. After ECU was leading 7-6, with 16:55 left to play, the Savage Storm (4-10, 2-7 GAC) slowly built a five-point lead and held the advantage between two-five points for the next 15 minutes.
With 3:40 left on the clock in the first stanza, the Tigers started their come-back and used an 8-0 run to take a 33-30 advantage with a minute left to play. Southeastern tied the game at 33, with 36 seconds remaining, and the teams went to the locker room knotted at 33.
The second half was a continuation of the first with four ties in the first 10 minutes. However a triple by A.J. Moutry, with10:07 left to play, gave the Tigers their first four-point lead. The game was again tied at 51 and again ECU used a 4-0 run to gain the advantage (54-51). Neither team scored over the next two minutes, with Southeastern the first to break the slump and get within one (54-53).
ECU used a 5-0 run over the next two minutes to push the lead back to six (59-53). The Savage Storm followed with a 4-0 run to cut the lead to two, but another three by Moutry put the Tigers back up (62-57).
The Savage Storm gained two points at the free throw line in the final minute, but Fisher and Carr made two key free throws, with 20.6 left on the clock, to help give ECU the 64-59 win.
The teams were evenly matched shooting, with both recording a 39.6 overall shooting percentage. The Tigers earned the key advantage of the game at the free-throw line, where they went 15-of-23. ECU held Southeastern to a 10-of-22 mark from the charity stripe.
The Tigers will now return home for a Saturday, Jan. 25 match-up with Harding at the Kerr Activities Center. Game time is set for 4 p.m.

AAA TaxisDispatching In Loughborough
Want Us To Dispatch A Loughborough Taxi You Can Use A NOVACAB
The activity of taxi fleets is usually monitored and controlled by a central office, which provides dispatching, accounting, and human resources services to one or more taxi companies. Taxi owners and drivers usually communicate with the dispatch office through either a 2-way radio or a computer terminal (called a mobile data terminal). Before the innovation of radio dispatch in the 1950s, taxi drivers would use a callbox—a special telephone at a taxi stand—to contact the dispatch office.
When a customer calls for a taxi, a trip is dispatched by either radio or computer, via an in-vehicle mobile data terminal, to the most suitable cab. The most suitable cab may either be the one closest to the pick-up address (often determined by GPS coordinates nowadays) or the one that was the first to book into the "zone" surrounding the pickup address. Cabs are sometimes dispatched from their taxi stands; a call to "Top of the 2" means that the first cab in line at stand #2 is supposed to pick someone up.
In offices using radio dispatch, taxi locations are often tracked using magnetic pegs on a "board"—a metal sheet with an engraved map of taxi zones. In computerized dispatch, the status of taxis is tracked by the computer system.
Taxi frequencies are generally licensed in duplex pairs. One frequency is used for the dispatcher to talk to the cabs, and a second frequency is used to the cabs to talk back. This means that the drivers generally cannot talk to each other. Some cabs have a CB radio in addition to the company radio so they can speak to each other.
Taxi dispatch is evolving in connection to the telecom sector with the advent of smart-phones. In some countries such as Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and USA smartphone applications are emerging that connect taxi drivers directly with passengers for the purpose of dispatching taxi jobs, launching new battles for the marketing of such apps over the potential mass of Taxi users.
Taxi Fares are set by the State and City where they are permitted to operate. The fare includes the 'drop', a set amount that is tallied for getting into the taxi plus the 'per mile' rate as has been set by the City. The taxi meters track time as well as miles in a typical taxi fare.
