There are numerous practical and pocket-friendly means to guarantee the thick and healthy texture of your locks. If you're lusting after long and luscious strands, you'll be able to have them with the following 6 new home remedies for quick growth. Hit the grocery store and purchase organic ingredients to protect the follicles from the damage caused by harsh chemicals. Ditch cosmetics for the sake of rapid hair growth and prepare the most nutritive treatments using veggies, fruits and natural oils.
1. Cinnamon, Garlic and Red Onion Hair Rinse
Prepare a revitalizing hair rinse using these natural ingredients. Grab a bowl and fill it with hot water, add 4 cloves of garlic, 2 cinnamon sticks and a red onion cut into tiny pieces. Leave the mixture boil for 15 minutes. Let the infusion cool down and wash your locks with it. Repeat this ritual for four days in a row and see the magical effect of this organic treatment.
2. Honey and Aloe Vera Gel Treatment
Combine these two vitamin-rich ingredients in a soothing recipe. Scrape off the gel of 3 Aloe Vera leaves and mix it with 2 tbs of honey.
Apply the treatment on your scalp and massage it into your roots. Leave the hair pack on for 20 minutes then finally wash it off with lukewarm water. Repeat this ritual more times per week for quick and visible results.
3. Cactus Hair Treatment
Choose this natural remedy to solve your hair loss dilemmas. The first step towards accelerating hair growth is to cut 4-5 cactus leaves into tiny pieces. Put these in pure water and leave them there to soak overnight.
Use a spray bottle to apply the toner on your scalp and hair roots. Leave the locks dry naturally without washing off the cactus toner. Make sure you apply the toner on your scalp at least once a day.
4. Potato, Egg Yolk and Honey Treatment
Mix three of these popular ingredients used in beauty care to boost the growth of your healthy locks. First extract the juice of three medium-sized potatoes. In a bowl mix the juice with 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp of honey. Apply the hair pack on your wet locks and massage the treatment in your scalp. Leave the mixture on for 25 minutes, then wash it off with tepid water.
5. Nettle Hair Treatment
This time you have to cheat a little bit and use a not 100% natural ingredient to provide your scalp with the best energy-boosting hair treatment. Mash two bunches of nettles and place the herb in 1 liter of vodka for no less than 1 week. You must wait a few days until the mixture becomes appropriate for application. After the week passed you'll be able to massage this treatment into your scalp either with your fingers or with a cotton ball. Leave the tincture on for 20-30 minutes then rinse it off with warm water. Keep on experimenting with this beauty ritual to notice the dazzling results.
6. Onion and White Rum
This time use a revolutionary treatment to accelerate the growth of your locks. In a medium bowl chop an onion into tiny pieces. Add 1 cup of white rum to the onion and give 24 hours for the ingredients to mix and form a fabulous treatment for your thin locks. The next day eliminate the onion pieces from the mixture and massage the solution into your scalp. Use a cotton ball or your fingers to ease the task of your follicles to absorb the lotion. Leave the hair pack on for 30 minutes then wash it off with lukewarm water.

By Jason Hughes
600 B Street
For those of you following the play-by-play musical chairs of high-rise Downtown office buildings, Lincoln Properties (seller) had it in escrow to Rockwood (buyer) – but they pulled out of escrow. The new buyer is: (drumroll please!) Lincoln Properties! Yes, that is correct. The buyer is the same as the seller – just with a new equity partner.
530 B Street
The ultimate musical chair. Union Bank sold to Kearny Real Estate. Kearny sold to Bosa. Bosa is now selling to Swift Real Estate Partners. Each seller made millions. Each buyer bumped up their rental rate projections to justify the new purchase price. Pyramid scheme? No – but greater fool theory at work? Likely. We'll see what happens one day when the music stops.
DiamondView Tower
I've commented about how DiamondView is the most expensive building in downtown. And while I really do like the building, I think they've been the recipient of fortunate circumstances rather than the building really being "worth it" rent-wise. Probably a very smart move, Cigna Insurance (with Cruzan as local partner) is trying to sell at what may be peak market conditions. Rumor has it Kilroy is interested at $650/SF! That's double most prices for downtown office on a per-square-foot basis – and will set a new record for the area.
New Condo's and Hotels Galore
All the cranes and construction going on Downtown are hotel and residential. There are small exceptions – like Lankford's Maker's Quarter for 50k SF in East Downtown. And the Pacific Gateway demolition you see happening near the aircraft carrier and Seaport Village? I hope I eat my words – but I really doubt that project will get financing anytime soon. Hopefully it sells too – as I would love to see new buildings come out of the ground. But for numerous reasons, I don't think we'll see any deliverables for at least five years…
Musical Chairs
It's not only landlord buyers and sellers playing high-stakes musical chairs. Tenants are too. For the first time in a half-dozen years, we're having large clients evaluate leaving downtown. With office and parking rates escalating at a record clip, along with the lack of parking space and a surge of homeless people, the rose bloom might be soon falling off…

You should read this great article by PhD student Joon Chuah at the University of Florida about the baffling plan to save money at UF by taking the Computer Science department apart while increasing the budget for sports. He explains the place of computer science in a university and society wonderfully. I'm reminded of a great line from a commercial (for BASF apparently) that relates to what he's trying to say about why Computer Science is important, the tagline goes:
We don't make the products you use everyday; we make the products you use everyday better.
Computer science is sort of like that. We don't work out how the universe works, or how genes cause disease, or how to build stronger materials or how to manage the economy; we work out how to turn questions into computations, how to solve huge, complex problems efficiently, we invent the tools that scientists, engineers, economists and anyone else can use to solve their problems.
Sometimes in CS we assume everyone else knows this, that everyone understands the deal we have. I think of CS as a kind of meta-science, like mathematics that investigates common patterns that underlie every other field of inquiry. We look at the problem of how to solve problems, the answers we find usually turn out to be quite useful to someone, even if it's not always clear at the beginning quite how they will be useful. But sometimes I wonder if maybe everyone doesn't really get it. Maybe the reason people ask you to fix your computer is they don't think about the difference between engineering, information technology and computer science. Maybe, this is something the field of computer science needs to work on making more clear to everyone who doesn't know us that well as a field.
But that's a big problem to solve, one step at a time.
If you want to help reverse this move at UF support this student protest site and let people know how crazy you think this is.

Model "Monica", Southern Maryland, May and June 2002
Just add text.
Looking back, commercial (commercial-like) photography — all of this was and remains demonstration — doesn't get more simple. The photographer brings his bag and tripod; the model brings herself, change of clothes, makeup: done. If the model has a friend, add a bounce card.
It's easy to complicate a "shoot" with gear — the studio has been always portable: Vagabond field battery, light stands and lamps, even the changing room that comes in a bag — a one-person tent — but especially in public open space, the more junk hauled along, the greater the hassle.
I want to do this stuff again!

Clouds I and II, December 1 and 26, 2006
James Rumsey Memorial Park, Shepherdstown, West Virginia, October 19, 2010
CA – Photography – Technical Note
Editing Screen: LaCie 320 1600×1200
Editing Software: Adobe Lightroom 3.6; Adobe Photoshop CS4; "onOne Presets" Volumes 1 to 3.
Image Standards: Nikon RAW; Adobe DNG; Edited Final: TIFF
Image Sizing: Facebook and Flickr: 900 Vertical; 1600 Horizontal. Note: for a short period, I was uploading full-sized images, just beneath 6,000-pixels-width, to Flickr, but I've settled on the standard noted for the web. What this means for the viewer is that when the option to see the "original" or "full-sized" image on screen, it's really about 1/3 the image size available for the file of interest.
One Chance, One Desktop, One Photographer
While my XP-era technology has aged multiple computing generations, it has within the nostalgic traditions of photography — the field is famous for its leading personalities taking great leaps backwards (to wet plates, wooden boxes, FILM, for pete's sake) to pursue their promotion of the look of having recorded what is to become shared visual memory — rather matured.
I like it.
It and I have already fallen behind.
I don't care.
The industry has thundered on to the next level — and doubtless has already in hand the level after that — and I'm just hanging out with a couple of old Nikons, digital and film.
Walkabout: Nikon D200, Nikkor 16-85mm VRII, basic filters plus graduated neutral density card (always in the bag), and a carbon fiber tripod.
Portraiture: Nikon D2x, Nikkor manual 105mm f/2.5.
I don't keep track (as I perhaps should), but the Big Landscape is why I carry the graduated neutral density card.

Model, "Heidi Blair", Delaware Shore, October 13, 2001
I've been winnowing multiple pages from old film-based "photoshoots" down to single slide file pages, scanning two to a few, and doing so roughly, and posting the same here and Flickr (for a while).
Three observations (and I have been here before):
— The women disappear into new lives with new names. "Heidi Blair" will have an easier time finding the photographer from that long ago autumn day than the photographer (and viewers) will have finding her;
— I see had a "commercial look" back then and doubtless would have enjoyed shooting catalogs, which ambition, of course, compelled the "time-for-prints" shooting.
— Despite the wonders of old "Digital ICE", Nikon's dust-and-scratch removing algorithm (coupled with Hamrick's VueScan software), film remains a little less convenient a medium than digital. Both of the above were worked using Adobe's Lightroom 3 and then ported to PhotoShop to clone out the rough edges of the slides.
–Lessons learned since way back then: watch the hands! Also, leave some margin for cropping down to the subject (and that in addition to what the viewfinder leaves out of the presentation to the photographer).
–One may do a lot without "fill flash", but in the most sun struck moments, we need either it or scrims. Related to that: the larger the production — the more one has to carry! — the less the wandering about alleys, church fronts, gardens, and side streets.
Perhaps I am reorienting, taking a break from politics online and reading offline, and recalling what all that stuff in the closet — I get in there and say to myself, "oh yeah, I remember this gadget!" — was about. Everything has been kept in good condition, including the battery pack and the main camera, a now old D2x, but my inclination, whatever opportunity comes next, is to keep things very simple for a start: one really may do quite a bit with camera, lens, flash, and reflector.

I must confess, it's been ages since I've been inside an honest-to-God, actual brick-and-mortar bookstore. Most of my browsing–and reading–is done via digital devices these days. Still, I was curious about the retailer's new "real" bookstore (it opened in Seattle in November) and, living in this corner of the world, I felt duty-bound to check it out.
Amazon Books lives in University Village, an upscale outdoor shopping mall near the University of Washington. Super Bowl Sunday seemed as good a time as any to make an excursion. Who'd browse a bookstore then?
Turns out, everybody.
You'd think even university types would be stocking up before the big game, mobbing the nearest Whole Foods or local farmers market in a last-minute run for kale chips and soy cheese whiz and organic small-batch ginger beer.
People were stocking up inside Amazon Books. Like preppers hoarding canned goods for the coming zombie apocalypse, they scurried across the authentic, "real bookstore" hardwood in an anything-but-football frenzy to get their hands on the printed word in time for kickoff.
The introverted loner in me shuns crowds, even crowds of fellow bookworms. I did a quick once-around and left.
Still, I wanted a closer look. So a few days later I donned my pink trench coat and, looking to indulge my penchant for snooping, returned to the scene. (Yes, this was what I did with my 60-degrees-and-sunny-in-Seattle-in-February day off. How I suffer for my art.)
And what did I find at Amazon Books?
Ta-da! A bookstore.
A bookstore with the Amazon brand written all over it, but still, a bookstore.
First, a sign greets you in the entry letting you know that all prices are the same as on Amazon.com.
Next, all books–not just a featured few–have covers, not spines, facing front.
Ah, so many shiny, happy faces. I loved the covers-out method of display. It makes for a better browsing experience even if it means fewer titles fit on a shelf. Covers sell books. And, say one thing for print, it's fun to run your fingers over said covers, though I was surprised how few actually had raised lettering or other textured features.
Look even closer and you see that on the shelf in front of each title is a card bearing an excerpt from a customer review (wonder if they verified those?) plus the number of reviews and the average star rating. In some cases, in lieu of showing a review quote, the card announces an award the book has won.
Though most books had high-four-star averages, not all had thousands or even hundreds of overall reviews. Some only had a few dozen. And only one review per book was excerpted. Frankly, zero out of one persons found this helpful. Seeker of truth that I am, I like to read the negative as well as the positive reviews before I buy.
And what, no sliding parade of also-boughts running underneath?
Yet more signs direct you to scan a book to find out its price. There's a standing scanning device available in the aisle (think Macy's). You can also use your phone's Amazon app to scan for price.
At 5,500 square feet, the space is not–ahem–Amazonian, but it's hardly cramped, either. The aisles were somewhat short but not too short, and there are displays on corners and in front of windows. Unlike my previous visit, my second visit came on a weekday afternoon when I had plenty of elbow room. And plenty of staff buzzing about offering help, but since I was being surreptitious, I remained content to wander on my own.
There are the usual aisle groupings by genre, but also distinctly Amazon ways of divvying up the selection, too. For example, one shelving unit boasts "classics recommended on Goodreads." Another table features books rated 4.8 or above. Why 4.8? Why not 4.7? And do they update their signage in the store as regularly as the site updates its data? What if a book's rating slips?
All this I could take or leave but there was one thing I was dying to know, one thing I wanted to see if I could find. How much did brick-and-mortar Amazon truly resemble online Amazon? I milled around and around the general fiction section, looking and looking, when at last something caught my eye. Hmm, drab cover taking itself much too seriously. Life-is-grim-and-then-you-die title. Literary fiction, sure, but could the pared-down look also bespeak possibly, maybe, that most elusive of creatures, a self-published paperback? In a "real" store where there should be only "real" books?
I checked the spine. No sign of a publisher's logo. I check the copyright page. Copyright 2015 by the author. No publishing info other than the author's name in sight. Ditto no list price.
I pulled out my phone, opened my Amazon app and looked up the title. Was it really? Could it be? Then, bingo, there it was. ISBN, CreateSpace. Gasp! It was! A self-published book. Highly rated, critically acclaimed and, no doubt, successful.
Now how did that get in here?
I kept going, browsing random trade paperbacks, checking spines, flipping to copyright pages. I found three more self-published works in general fiction and one in poetry. General fiction! And none, oddly enough, in the genres. (Though I did only look in mystery/thriller and romance.)
Gotta love the Zon.
Amazon, of course, has its own publishing imprints and I did spy a few of its notable reads on display, though not glaringly so. Among them were new release The Restaurant Critic's Wife by Elizabeth LaBan in women's fiction, and bestseller Crazy Little Thing by Tracy Brogan in romance.
I knew TRCW from browsing on the Amazon site. I'd read the sample and reviews and put it on my mental to-read list. The ebook retails for $3.99. I picked up the trade paperback version and ran it over to the scanner. (Note: no prices printed on the Amazon-pubs or indie-pubs that I saw.) Current price for TRCW in trade paperback: $8.36, marked down from $14.95. (Just like the website.)
Tempting, but I wanted to do more snooping.
I spent about thirty minutes in the store. I stuck mostly to fiction, but they had a children's section and cookbooks and celebrity bios, et cetera, et cetera.
Oh, and Kindles.
No, I did not see Jeff Bezos.
How effective did I find the brick-and-mortar Amazon shopping experience?
All in all, I'm not sure how well the whole "filtering-results" algorithmy online style translates in the flesh. Some of it seemed helpful (covers facing out) and innovative (price scanning) and some of it seemed gimmicky. And indie authors on the shelves, even if only a precious few. I'm not complaining.
Like I said, gotta love the Zon, whatever it is they're up to here.
Yet did I actually buy that paperback of The Restaurant Critic's Wife on sale for $8.36? Nah. At $3.99, I'll download the e-book. I have enough print tomes gathering dust on my own wood shelves at home, thank you very much.

Today, one of my high school friends posted a picture of her and her husband dressed up over the holidays. They looked great, and even more than that she looked beautiful. I commented as such and didn't really think much else about it until she responded back. "We clean up okay, huh?"
My reply of "absolutely" didn't really capture what I wanted to say to her though. You see this friend, is one I wish I would have spent more time with in high school.
She's just a genuinely great person. Kind, intelligent, friendly, supportive – everything you could possibly want in a friend, twelve years ago and now. There are now several hundred miles that separate us and I think we've only seen each other once since graduation.
Now-a-days she's a SAHM to a little cutie (toughest job on the planet, really, I couldn't do it) and her days are probably spent changing diapers, getting food ready and trying to grow her little one into a great person amongst other things. I enjoy the photos she shares of her little one and of them together.
Beautiful friend, I hope that you know that your love and support are felt hundreds of miles away. Being your friend and watching your life (even through pictures) is a blessing. You're beautiful inside and out every day, not just on days where you get cleaned up and I will forever cherish our friendship, whatever that may look like.

Private Jets are the Most Efficient Way For Business Executives to Travel to Stevens Village Airport
A great advantage or hiring a private jet is the comfort factor. By traveling in a private jet you are sure to be as comfortable as possible, this also permits you a flying environment that is more intimate with friends or family or whoever that you might choose to get along with you. You will no more have to wait for the flight to begin your vacation; all you have to do is straight walk into your private plane and relax yourself there. No more unwanted crowd in the coach or even all those snobs in the first class. It is going to be just you and all those people who you want to include in your trip to your destination country. Mostly, all these private jets do come along with a fully-fledged staff. You are going to be even provided with a flight attendant who will help you by taking care of all your requirements and wises.
The one most important reason of making use of the air charter services is because of its convenience. Unlike the other commercial aircrafts, you will be in charge of the chartered flight. You will not have to go through the troubles of cramped seats or any delays owing to issues regarding unruly passengers. In this case you will get to pick the person you want to have in your flight. Making use of these services is going to remove all the stress that you go through when you are flying, making sure you have a very pleasant flight and journey to city. The flight will be scheduled for its take off only when you want to leave. You can additionally have a route that you have planned out for your travel. Although, in this case you will really not like to manage every little detail, having to control your entire experience of flying is a reason that is more than enough to use a chartered plane service.
Air travel is presently undergoing alterations and will continue to alter. United States security and safety is forever the commercial air travel and private air hire, carriers top objectives.
Most businessmen today are able to enjoy the convenience, flexibility and security that are achieved in a private craft or chartered flights offer for individuals. The amount of time that people spend on these flights can be very much productive, especially if you are traveling in a group for an important event or meting. The time that is spent together helps the entire staff to discuss more about the particular event and share their thoughts before getting to the destination city. Ocassionally when you travel in a commercial airline you are intruded with all those people sitting around you, sometimes it goes beyond what one can bare concerning the noises of people talking. Likewise, your co-passengers will also not like it if you are discussing something with your group mates, although they are not going to understand that you are just making use of time. Another advantage with private aircraft is not having to worry about losing the luggage at all.

There is something special in watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Greece, narrated in Greek. Just as there was something special in the discussion about politics and democracy that we had a couple of nights ago, under the Greek sky having after-dinner drinks.
The conference is soon drawing to a close, there's one more day left. My work here is done, the poster was presented already on Wednesday and today I presented the other paper I was involved with. I'm quite happy with how they went, I had lots of nice discussions about the poster, and good questions about the paper. Add to that the effect that the conference with its various deadlines has on getting the work done, and the end result is very positive, indeed.
Although the technical difficulties I had at the beginning of the session were not fun. I have a new Macbook Air and I assumed I could just plug in the projector without problems – did not get a picture at all. Luckily the session was chaired by a colleague who was kind enough to borrow me his computer for the presentation. The organisers have PC's, my show is on Keynote and even though I tried I didn't get any of my videos to work in their systems. I was surprised to see this problem, usually everything "just works". Well, turns out this is an Air issue. Damn if I really have to reboot the computer if I want to connect to a projector!?! Firmware update, Apple, pretty please…
Anyway, back to the substance. There have been a few emerging themes in this year's conference. It has been interesting to see how more and more people are using motion capture to study music-related questions. Music is a social, embodied activity, and also the social aspects and social effects are getting more attention. Motion capture is clearly becoming more available and it seems that quite a few labs are using the MoCap Toolbox written by Petri Toiviainen and Birgitta Burger. So they've accelerated research quite a lot by making that tool and sharing it with everyone else. Great!
It is also a sign of the times that mentioning EEG, ERP, MEG, fMRI or other brain research methods no longer automatically assigns you for a special session on neuroscience and music, but rather you get slotted in a session that deals with the topic of your study. One way to think about this is that more or less everyone is expected to understand the basics and follow those presentations.
There have been a couple of sessions on earworms, or involuntary musical imagery. "Why do some songs get stuck in your head" has been my example question for a number of years now, when I've needed an example of something that music psychology studies. Now, the answer starts to form. THere have been studies on many aspects of this phenomenon, I'll return to these in more detail in a later post.
Now it's time to light the olympic fire at the Olympic stadium in London.

- China Gross Domestic Product (CNY, GMT 02:00)- Chinese GDP is projected to see additional moderation to a 6.2% y/y pace in Q2, from the 6.4% y/y growth rate in Q1. The economy has grown at a 6.2% pace so far in 2019, while it was at a 6.6% pace for all of 2018, leaving the slowest growth rate since the 3.9% clip in 1990. It grew 6.8% in 2017.
- Consumer Price Index (NZD, GMT 22:45) – New Zealand inflation is expected to rise by 1.7% y/y in Q2, edging higher than the 1.5% observed in Q1.
Tuesday – 16 July 2019
- Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes (AUD, GMT 01:30) – The RBA has already cut rates to record lows and comments from the central bank governor yesterday didn't sound as though the bank was readying further easing at the moment. Minutes are expected to shed further light regarding future easing stance.
- Average Earnings (GBP, GMT 08:30) – Average Earnings excluding bonus for May expected to slightly increase at 3.2% from 3.1% last month.
- ZEW Economic Sentiment (EUR, GMT 09:00) – Economic Sentiment for July is expected to be released at -19.0 compared to -21.1 last month.
- Retail Sales and Core (USD, GMT 12:30) – 0.2% June retail sales gains are expected for both with and without autos, following 0.5% May gains for both measures. Unit vehicle sales ticked down to a 17.3 mln pace in June from an upwardly-revised 17.4 mln clip in May, and gasoline prices should provide a drag on retail activity given an estimated -3.5% figure for the CPI for gasoline. Real consumer spending is expected to grow at a 3.9% rate in Q2, following the 0.9% Q1 clip.
Wednesday – 17 July 2019
- Consumer Price Index (GBP, GMT 08:30) – May CPI came in on the nose at 2.0% y/y, ebbing from 2.1% y/y in April and marking a return to the upper bound of the BoE's target. Next week's reading for June is expected to remain unchanged. The same stands for core CPI.
- Consumer Price Index (EUR, GMT 09:00) – The Euro Area CPI for June is expected to hold steady at 0.3% m/m, with the headline inflation at 1.2% y/y unchanged from the previous month. Still, as the weakness in manufacturing is now starting to reach the labour market, this means the prospect that underlying inflation pressures will build up soon look slim. This will keep the ECB on course for additional easing measures, unless there are major breakthroughs on the US-Sino trade and the Brexit front.
- Consumer Price Index and Core (CAD, GMT 12:30) – CPI is expected to decline at a 2.1% y/y pace in June.
- Housing Data (USD, GMT 12:30) – Housing starts should slow to a 1.260 mln pace in June, after a dip to 1.269 mln in May. Permits are expected to improve to 1.300 mln in June, after rising to 1.299 mln in May. Overall, we see a stronger trajectory for starts with a positive but slower pace for permits, as starts play catch-up with the higher permits trajectory.
Thursday – 18 July 2019
- Employment Data (AUD, GMT 00:30) – Australian labour market data is expected to deteriorate, as the employment is anticipated at 10K from 42.3K in May.
Friday – 19 July 2019
- Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (USD, GMT 14:00) – The main US consumer confidence index is expected to ease to 93.0 in March, compared to 93.8 in February.

How to Make a Monster uses characters from two earlier American International Picture films, I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and I Was a Teenage Werewolf, both released in 1957 (see below). Gary Conway, who plays "Tony Mantell" and the Frankenstein character in How to Make a Monster was also the star of I Was Teenage Frankenstein. Gary Clarke, who plays "Larry Drake" and the werewolf character in How to Make a Monster did not appear in I Was a Teenage Werewolf, which starred Michael Landon.
American International Picture's name and posters from I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and I Was a Teenage Werewolf are displayed prominently in one scene in How to Make a Monster. The last ten minutes of the film are presented in color in order to utilize masks from several AIP releases designed by makeup artist Paul Blaisdell. According to modern sources, several of these masks were badly damaged during the fire sequence.

I fully support this effort - and to kick things up... I upped my pledge to the full $2500 to try and get SparkFun to come to Hawaii... officially. I challenge any and all contributors to match that. Otherwise I dont have to pay... And just have to keep supporting the errant SparkFundies couch surfing when then come visit Maui.
SparkFun has been highly supportive of the Education end of things. I have been following their education department since meeting Linz and others at Maker Faire a couple years back. I love what they (and Adafruit, and MAKE) are doing to promote electronics and general STEAM project based education. It is very inspirational to be part of this community.

I think the natural evolution of this would end up as Sparkfun creating an electronics curriculum for the high-school level and sell it as a reasonably-priced text-and-lab package. When I was in high school (1988-1993) I witnessed the tail-end of the once-common industrial arts program -- our school had a great program until cost-cutting got in the way. Available were: auto shop, wood shop, metal shop, graphic arts (complete with offset presses), manual drafting and AutoCAD.
I can only attest to the elecronics curriculum, but our lab equipment was deteriorating, and though our parts closets were relatively well stocked, there was always that "one part" that we ran out of. And, of course, all of the 74LS series ICs that were used and put back in the bins, often with a fried logic gate or two.

In reality, electronics parts tend to be dirt cheap, especially when purchased in bulk. Imagine, if you will, a curriculum and lab package designed to last a semester, in increasing levels. Then an instructor package including a fair amount of spare parts, ready-to-go. For example:

Electronics 1-Basics: Ohms law, watts law, series, parallel, resistors, capacitors, batteries, LEDs, transistors, diodes. Includes a cheap – but well fused – multimeter, breadboard, battery holder, and parts.

Electronics 2-Digitals: Build a 5V power supply, then: The 555, Logic gates (TTL so there are fewer burned out parts), culminating in building your own digital clock using power line 60Hz timebase (http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/clocks-watches/digital-clock4.htm). Includes breadboard, power supply kit, TTL logic kit, and other parts.

Electronics 3-Micros: Arduino programming (using thru-hole Uno-type, easily replaceable). Includes Arduino, protoshield, etc.

Then go on and create more – Robotics, Communications, etc.

Think you can't create a curriculum for high school: Dave Ramsey did -- "Foundations of Personal Finance" (http://www.daveramsey.com/school/foundations/)

This could also be offered individually for students who are taking an "independent study" class.

And the best part: We could all have a hand in creating and improving the curriculum.

Let's say Sparkfun pays for all of it. Now, what to do? Would traveling to Alaska and Hawaii for 3 days offer the same amount of education to Texas or California in the same 3 days? Who knows, it all depends on the interest, and the only way to get an idea of where a the most benefit would occur is based upon where the interest comes from. So how would someone determine interest of a geographical area of STEM being taught? A survey could help, but you always have a large error based upon who takes it (statistics 101). You could call up schools and school districts around the nation, but they have more oppressing matters to deal with (they can't afford to pay a teacher to go a SFE class to learn STEM when there is no budget for it).
This is a fundamental issue of RoI (Return on Investment). SFE knows it has business all over the world, but what would be the return if they put 150k into teaching teachers/students in STEM? A company, even employee owned, always strives to gain a profit. Throwing a 150k to sending ~10 employees all over the country to teach, what is the return? Schools have a tight budget to play with, and having a dedicated STEM program is an expensive investment, especially to stay with current techology. So, where is the RoI for a school/teacher/district? Where is the RoI from hackerspaces/makerspaces that already have invested money in STEM?

As I have said in a comment earlier this year, you need to get a community involved in the education of the children. To do this, you need to develop interest, and what better way than to do a KS.

If you ask me, the KS is spot on. What better way to gauge interest of a nation in struggle than to see who is willing to dig into whatever money they have to have SFE come and teach. Whether SFE has a successful KS or not doesn't matter anymore. They have the contacts of people who gave money, now they can work individually with those people to get a plan together.

To conclude my rant, the KS doesn't align well for a lot of people, I get it, but it is a good idea to see where the areas SFE can do good (products/services) and help our kids out.

You're spot on - we did quite a bit of math to get to the $150k and that still left much to be funded by SparkFun. The number came out of some simple equations designed to tell us what it would take to get us to one stop in all fifty states - even then we would be well into the red. We're just excited about the opportunity to work with educators and students and thought it would be fun for the community to be able to participate in the fundraising and planning for the national tour.

Would $150k even cover the cost of the tour after the rewards and kickstarter fees? I would imagine that SparkFun had planned on some costs above and beyond what was raised by kickstarter unless the $150k level was exceeded quite a bit.

I am fully in support of this effort. I think everyone who is a part of the SparkFun community will agree that they get great joy out of creating and discovering through electronics. I remember when I was 10 and I made my first blinking LED with a 555 timer. My father was a ham operator and passed on his love for electronics to me. He introduced me to new electronic projects and helped me understand the basics. I became part of an exciting universe that allowed me to create and explore well beyond the rudimentary art and music classes at school.
I think its easy to see that the need for new avenues in education is paramount. SparkFun could be starting something that becomes contagious throughout the world. I think its worth the whole community contributing a few dollars to help enable exciting new possibilities for our nation's youth.

We certainly understand how you feel though the Kickstarter campaign is a way to engage the community in bringing electronics education to learning centers across the country. While a large portion of the people have chosen not to receive the backing packages associated with the donations, our hope was that everyone donating to the cause would receive something to further inspire them to build, hack, or teach someone else! SparkFun is very grateful for our success and to be part of such an amazing community. More than likely we will find a way to self-fund a version of this tour if the Kickstarter does not succeed. However, sending out teams of trained instructors in RVs across the nation is not a small endeavor - even for a successful company. The tour will likely not be profitable, but we certainly believe it is well worth everyone's investment to give students the opportunity to engage with science and technology in an affordable and relevant manner.

I'm sorry I just can't get behind this. It seems just like a way for you to advertise sparkfun by educating people. It's cool you want to do that and I'm all for it, but pay for it yourself. You've made 20 million over the years or something like that? You can't spare 150k? please....

Emerald, deep purple, navy blue and cognac might not feel like your typical summer color palette, but Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi sure made it work. Sticking to their Italian craftsmanship the designers sent out a wide variation of it-looks for SS2014. Their graphic looks captured both the cropped top, the vivid prints, the over the knee skirts, the structured tops, the focus viagra canada on the waist as well as the shiny silk trend. And even though other designers might have picked up on those trends too, the collection still looked fresh and unique. Thanks to the designers' couture-like details, their original Paul Gauguin painting prints and their cape-like tops (one in navy and a striped one, both tied at the front, which were not necessarily the hit pieces of the show). No heavy accessories needed here; those flat strappy sandals and waist belts did the job.

Creative Flowers & Leaves Suncatcher or Bookmark Art Project: Science Lesson Elementary School Kids Will Love
Learning Colors, Flowers and Leaf Shapes
This creative suncatcher or bookmark art project for elementary school can be incorporated into art class, as well as elementary
science classes as a nature project. Students can choose to make either a bookmark or a suncatcher.
To begin, teach students to identify the various flowers and leaves used. Have students sort dried materials by leaf type, color or flower. Ask younger students to identify colors, as well as shapes or patterns. Place large colored construction paper on the tables and ask students to sort the colors placing the appropriate colored leaf or flower on the matching sheet of construction paper.
Ask the students to create patterns with their leaves and flowers. For instance - one leaf, two flowers, one leaf.
Have books on flowers and trees available for aiding in the identification process.
Some books you might choose include:
Grades K-3
- Burns, D., et al., Trees, Leaves and Bark, Cooper Square Publishing, 1995
- Lyon, G.E. and Parker, T., A B Cedar: An Alphabet of Trees, Orchard Books, 1996
- Burnie, D., Eyewitness Explorers: Flowers, DK Children, 1992
- Burns, D., Wildflower Blooms and Blossoms, Cooper Square Publishing, 1998
Grades 4-6
- Aronson, S., Fandex Family Field Guide: Trees, Workman Publishing, 1998
- Theilgaard Watts, M., T__ree Finder: A Manual for Identification of Trees by Their Leaves (Eastern US), Nature Study Guide Publishers, 1991
- Hood, S. and NAS, Wildflowers: National Audubon Society (NAS) First Field Guide, Scholastic, 1998
Gathering Materials
The materials needed are:
- A variety of dried leaves and flowers.
- Paper towels.
- Wax paper.
- Clear laminate sheets cut in 3 x 5 inch pieces (If the school does not have a laminator, clear contact paper may be used instead.)
- Hole punch.
- Ribbon in assorted colors.
- Wax crayon shavings.
- Bits of tissue paper.
- Scraps from hole punch.
- Glitter.
- Scissors.
It is best to collect flowers and leaves from the surrounding area so students can learn the names. Dry fresh flowers by placing them between layers of paper towel which is then placed between two pieces of wax paper. Stack a heavy book on the paper towel for a few days. It is important to make sure that the plant materials are thoroughly dried; otherwise, they will mold. Teachers may also obtain dry flower materials from a local craft store.
Simple, Yet Beautiful Creations
The best part of any art project is the actual creation. Students will enjoy picking out flowers and leaves, ribbon and details they wish to use in their art project.
Instruct the students to place their flowers and leaves in the center of the laminate, so that there is a margin of laminate around them.
An adult will need to laminate the pieces, since laminating machines are extremely hot. If clear contact paper is used instead, an adult will need to assist some students in sticking the two pieces together.
Shavings of wax crayons may also be added. These will melt inside of the laminate, creating a stained glass look. With contact paper, small bits of colored paper, such as scraps from the hole punch, can be added instead, as well as glitter (sparingly) or small bits of ribbon, thread or yarn.
Once laminated, punch a hole at the top of the laminated flowers/leaves for a ribbon or piece of yarn. Knot the top.
Extend with a Service Project
In addition to creating something that aids in teaching the students about nature, a service project can be incorporated into the lesson. These projects make wonderful gifts for shut-ins, the elderly or even military members.
Teachers will need to contact the nursing home prior to sending the gifts, so that the staff will know ahead of time that they are being given. If possible, it could be arranged for the students to make a small presentation where they relate to the elders what they learned and then give the elders their gifts.
Because of the size, these also make an easy-to-send gift to military members, who are away from the community. If you do not have a ready contact with a military member,
From start to finish, everyone loves these creative suncatcher or bookmark art projects for elementary school students. Elementary school teachers will find that these projects build creative skills, add to science knowledge, develop skills of recognition and allow students to give something of themselves to others.

Kate Moss: Nude for St. Tropez!by Hilton Hater at .
Kate Moss is the new spokeswoman for St. Tropez self-tanning products.
But in her first ad campaign on behalf of the product, the model lets her body do all the talking. Her NAKED body, that is! See what we mean here:
"I'm so excited to be working with St. Tropez," Moss says in a statement. "I've been using the products since they started and it's really a trustworthy, cool brand."
St. Tropez's skincare guru Nichola Joss describes Moss as "easy, professional" and "amazing on and offscreen" in an interview with People.
That may all be well and true, but we'd go with another word: HAWT!
See another racy photo of the model in V, where she poses alongside Rihanna nude.

Shore to Thrive's work is all about supporting community connections and strengthening relationships to enhance the lives of local people and it can only happen when we work with other community-minded people. William, the owner of Bella Monte Café on Williamson Ave, is one of these people. He welcomed Shore to Thrive to use his space one evening in May and helped us turn it upside down so we could share findings from our survey and gather thoughts on priority actions to take together, as well as anything that had been missed.
We called it a Walk Through as we had the findings summarized on posters that guests could stroll along and get a sense of what was said as they chatted with new and old friends. Children's play areas with toys borrowed from the Bayswater Playgroup, face painting (thank you Maddy!) and pizza helped entertain smaller children, while older kids added their thoughts alongside those of the 40 adults who came along.
Priority Areas
Key areas of priority that emerged from the evening were developing initiatives to assist those experiencing financial hardship, to improve local community identity and to increase the safety of children around our roads.
Almost immediately, momentum developed around the safety of children on Bayswater Ave. There is also energy for a local community food initiative to bring people together.
More detail on the survey and the feedback can be found here & here. Pics from the event are here.

Drainage Concerns
The Town appreciates all inquiries relative to drainage concerns, including blocked culverts, damaged headwall and culvert ends and plugged ditches. Our ditching program commences in the fall in anticipation of the coming winter season where blocked ditches and culverts can cause major flooding concerns in the spring.
Contact Public Works at 905-873-2600 Ext. 2603 to arrange for staff to look at a problem area.
Catch Basins
- A drain, usually found at the sides of roads,
- Designed to drain excess rain and ground water from paved streets, parking lots, sidewalks, and roofs into storm sewers, storm ponds, and nearby rivers.
Catch Basins
- Replace and repair damaged catch basins.
- Provide maintenance to catch basins that are plugged with debris.
What You Can Do:
- Remove leaves, snow, ice and debris blocking catch basins.
DO NOT pour household liquids into catch basins as they are NOT filtered and lead directly into our local streams and rivers.
Culvert Maintenance
- A tunnel under a driveway, road, or railroad.
- They are connection points between ditches, storm sewers or ponds.
- They carry water from ditches to storm sewers and/or retention ponds.
- They provide a driveway entrance across an existing ditch for new constructions, new driveways, or new access points.
Driveway culverts are the responsibility of the property owner*
What We Do:
- Install culverts at the property owner's expense (Transportation and Public Works User Fees)
- Replace damaged culverts.
- Provide maintenance to culverts that are plugged with debris, heaved up, caved in, or frozen (causing flooding).
*If a property owner chooses to pave their driveway, the Town will NOT be responsible for replacing pavement in the event that a repair or replacement of the culvert is required due to frost heaving or as a result of construction.
What You Can Do:
- Remove leaves and other debris as they accumulate.
- Regularly mow the grass in the ditch.
- Avoid altering the ditch, culvert, or drainage system in any way (altering grading, yard slopes, obstructions).
- Consider having a representative from Public Works check the condition of the culvert prior to repaving your driveway.
- DO NOT pour household liquids into culverts as they are NOT filtered and lead directly into our local streams and rivers.
- Property owners do not have absolute right to outlet to roadside ditches.
- The Towns reserves the right to remove or restrict any outlets to ditches that cause operational issues or damage to the drainage system.
- If you need to direct water to the Town's ditches, it is recommended that you contact the Public Works Division before proceeding 905-873-2600 Ext. 2603.
To apply for culvert installation or replacement:
- For more information visit the Transportation and Public Works Department.
- Bring a copy of your property survey showing your existing driveway width and proposed changes
- Inlets found at the sides of roads are specifically meant to drain excess water on roads.
- Holds water, and controls how fast the water enters the drainage system (storm sewers and ponds).
- Some ditches allow water to flow into the groundwater table.
- During winter, snow plows push snow into ditches. They are therefore used as snow storage areas.
What We Do
- Maintain roadside ditches.
- Remove leaves and debris as they accumulate.
- Monitor the drainage efficiency of ditches.
- Property owners do not have absolute right to outlet to roadside ditches.
- The Town reserves the right to remove or restrict any outlets to ditches that cause operational issues or damage to the drainage system.
- If you need to direct water to the Town's ditches, it is recommended that you contact the Public Works Division before proceeding.
DO NOT pour household liquids into ditches as they are NOT filtered and lead directly into our local streams, rivers, or groundwater.
Storm Sewers & Stormwater Management Ponds & Facilities
Stormwater management ponds are artificial ponds that are designed to collect and retain stormwater (precipitation of rain, snow, etc. falling to the ground), reduce potential flooding and also retain sediments and other materials. The function of a stormwater pond is to contain stormwater and release it slowly.
Culverts are relatively short sections of drainage pipe that allow water to flow under roads, railway, trails, etc. The Town commonly uses pipes made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Corrugated Steel Pipes (CSP) or Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC).
Ditch inlets are concrete inlets in the ground alongside a road or ditch to facilitate drainage and stop debris.
Storm sewers are sewer pipes, usually underground, used to carry off either snow melt or rain water.
Catch basins stop debris and collect rainwater from the road which is distributed into storm sewers. The rainwater then travels through an outfall where the water is reintroduced safely into the environment.
Manholes allow a person access into the storm sewers for inspection and cleaning.
Please view map for local examples of stormwater management ponds and facilities.
When it rains, or when snow melts, the water that accumulates builds up and flows across roads and land. Soil absorbs a portion of the runoff due to rain water. However, urbanization and development increases the amount of hard surfaces (roads, driveways, walkways…etc.), which do not allow for water to be absorbed. This increases the risks of flooding, large puddles, erosion of our lands, and water in unwanted places. In order to decrease these risks, rainwater runoff is directed into our Town's drainage system through catch basins, culverts, ditches, and drains which lead into storm sewers. From there, the rainwater runoff is directed into storm water ponds. These ponds slowly release water back into receiving streams such as the Credit River. Storm sewers and ponds ONLY collect surface water runoff and DO NOT collect sewage from homes or businesses.
The Town of Halton Hills requires developers to build Storm Water Management Ponds to control water runoff and drainage. When the subdivision is assumed, the Town of Halton Hills' Public Works department becomes responsible for the pond's maintenance.
This includes:
- Maintenance of structures such as gates and valves.
- Maintenance of plants and vegetation.
- Removal of invasive species* (plants and animals).
- Removal of litter and debris.
- Monitoring of pond and sediment level.
- Removal of sediments.
- Maintenance to pond banks (erosion prevention).
- Pond drainage.
*Invasive species: Plants or animals that are not native to the area and/or are considered a disturbance or threat to the ecology of the area.
Residents: Please be advised
- Specific plants have been installed in and around storm ponds by developers and Town crew. These plants have certain qualities that allow for proper drainage and fit into the local ecology of the area.
- Please DO NOT plant any vegetation of your own, as these will be considered invasive threats to the ecology and drainage patterns of the pond.
- Please DO NOT introduce any animals to the pond (birds, fish, frogs…etc.), as these are also considered invasive species and threaten the ecology of the area.
- The ponds have been created so that its water levels can change rapidly without warning.
- Swimming, wading, skating or boating within storm water ponds are prohibited.
- SPRING THAW: Residents are reminded of the dangers that may exist during spring. The warmer temperatures will bring rainfall and melting snow and ice which may contribute to higher and faster flowing water among waterways. For more information please see Credit Valley Conservation.

Social Media Audits
A social media audit is a valuable first step for any organization considering integrating social media into their existing marketing efforts. Your social media audit includes a thorough review of your business goals and objectives, resources, business model, customers and prospects, industry and competitors.
The benefit of doing a social media audit is that you understand at the outset how social media tools are being used by your industry and competitors; where your customers and prospects can be found online and how they are using new media and social networks; what kind of buy-in you have from the management team; what resources you are able to allocate and which tools will help you achieve your business objectives.
Your social media audit includes an input session, written report with our findings and recommendations for next steps.
Social Media Monitoring
The foundation of any social media strategy is knowing what is being said, or not said, about your company and its personnel, products and services. Prior to embarking on the development of a social media strategy or the implementation of social media tactics, it is imperative that you listen to the online conversations about your brand.
Our Social Media Monitoring service includes introducing you to the free and paid monitoring services available today. Using the free tools, we will set up listening outposts for you and show you how to use them. We'll also introduce you to some of the top paid monitoring services currently available online and review their features and benefits.
Social Media Strategy Development
Approaching social media marketing without a strategy, and particularly one that aligns with, and supports, your other marketing efforts, can lead to great frustration and unimpressive results.
Our social media strategy development service researches your industry, company, competitors, customers, prospects, existing marketing strategy and campaigns, stated business goals and objectives and your existing resources, as well as anything you are currently doing in the social media sphere, before developing a powerful strategy to help you use social media to accomplish your business goals.
Your social media strategy development includes an input session, presentation of written plan and ongoing consulting services as needed.

What defines being a senior? Is it when we retire? A certain age? Is it when we start becoming less active? Or when we become a grandparent? Is it when we get approved to use Medicare or AARP or draw Social Security?
I don't know the answer, nor do I think it matters…unless of course there is a "senior discount" involved, and then sign me up.
One thing I do know is that being a senior doesn't mean that we sit in our rocking chair and watch the days go by. How do I know this? Because that isn't what I see happening around Sheridan.
I see older adults being active in exercise classes, playing pickleball, mowing their lawn, shoveling their walks, raking their leaves, climbing ladders to clean their gutters or paint. They are going from one social gathering to the next, meeting friends for coffee or volunteering at various organizations.
I once visited with a lady who told me, "Never stop trying new things no matter how old you are." I pondered on this for some time and when I saw her again I had to inquire about what things interest her to still learn at the age of 93. Her response was one I didn't expect. She went 87 years without knowing how to swim, but she wasn't going to end that way, so she decided to learn how and ended up going to the YMCA multiple times a week to swim before 8 a.m. It was her routine and one that made her feel better.
I will never forget this story or the many others I've heard as they are my inspiration to move, eat well and not let the number of years I've been alive dictate how I live my life. So back to my question of what defines a senior? To me it is experience and wisdom; it just so happens that those come with age.
Desiree Pearce is the health and well-being director at the Sheridan County YMCA.

In late October and after a very good season based at Kyle Pontoons we sadly said good bye to Skye, Lochalsh and Wester Ross to head south for the winter and the shelter of the River Clyde.
It's fair to say that this Autumn in the UK has been just a teeny bit windy with Storms Ophelia and Brian. It was a bit of a race to get down the Sound of Sleat – we sat out Ophelia in Isleornsay – and around Ardnamurchan Point and into the shelter of Loch Na Droma Buidhe before Brian hit. But we did it and hardly felt a thing!
Our return trip took us two weeks this year in part to avoid the storm but also to tie in with one of our 'Crinan Crew', Dave, who valiantly drove up from Suffolk to join us and help us through the canal. We did this bit on our own last year – not to be recommended- and we have been very glad to have help both ways.
Thanks to Scott's great planning we avoided most of the nasty seas and in doing so explored some new and known places and enjoyed some downtime before we reached the Clyde.
We stopped off in the Holy Loch to see our friends at the Majestic Line, Argyll Cruising and the Holy Loch Marina – well timed to see the Glen Etive piped into her berth alongside the Glens Tarsan and Massan – we ran the Massan about ten years ago!
We settled into James Watt Dock Marina by the end of October and started to get Red Moon all set for chilly winter living…
… and Christmas!
There are some fantastic walks around the area and we get out and explore as much as we can…

This driver has been released under the Eclipse Public License version 1.1! It can be downloaded free of charge from here!
The ASH WARE I2C eTPU Driver allows the Freescale eTPU to be connected to an I2C bus running in Standard-mode or Fast-mode, as either a master or slave node. By using the output pin pad open drain capability, no external hardware is required for this connection. This driver has been written to support both the eTPU and eTPU2 devices, and can run on any Freescale or STMicro chip with the eTPU/eTPU2 peripheral.
1.11 - fix minor scripting issues
1.10 - modified to run under DevTool (the new IDE)
1.00 - initial version
The I2C master driver supports the following features.
Arbitration (multi-master), high-speed mode, CBUS and 10-bit addressing are not currently supported. The I2C master solution uses 4 consecutive eTPU channels and their associated pins. The first two must be connected to the SCL wire, the second two to the SDA wire. They function as follows:
base channel: SCL_out
base channel+1: SCL_in
base channel+2: SDA_out
base channel+3: SDA_in
The I2C slave driver supports the following features.
The I2C slave solution uses 4 consecutive eTPU channels and their associated pins. The first two must be connected to the SCL wire, the second two to the SDA wire. They function as follows:
base channel: SCL_in
base channel+1: SCL_out
base channel+2: SDA_in
base channel+3: SDA_out
The following waveforms show the SCL and SDA wires during a write and read transfer. Both a master and slave have been instantiated on a single eTPU, and connected together. Signal levels for all the master channels (write transfer), and all the slave channels (read transfer) are shown as well.
Testing includes 100 % code and jump coverage of the eTPU software. All features described in the User Manual have been tested.
All requirements derived from the User Manual are guaranteed to be met. No other guarantees are made or implied. Specifically, determination of suitability for a particular application is the responsibility of the purchaser. If not fully satisfied, delete and return all materials within 60 days of purchase for a full refund. Workmanship is guaranteed for one year. Any software issues found and reported within one year will be fixed at no cost by ASH WARE.

Carrying forward the Drone Narrative from #hkuiom
Carrying the Sensor Tech and IoT theme forward, here are a couple of selected videos from Cisco (which has obviously bet big on what it calls the Internet of Everything – after all, there are still a lot of connections to be made!).
Carrying forward from our discussions in #hkuiom regarding Sensor Tech, the Internet of Things and Big Data in the context of manufacturing, below is a video caselet. Stanley Black & Decker has scratched the tip of the iceberg that we have envisioned in our discussions.
Here is an infographic released by IDC last year, that showcases the (lack of) awareness of Big Data among manufacturers in Asia.
As discussed in #hkuiom, here is the original video where Lloyd Blankfein talks about Goldman Sachs now being a Technology Firm / Platform. Also interesting to hear Michael Bloomberg's comments on how technology has changed the financial industry and firms.
In #hkuiom, we recently spoke about unmanned trucks and other forms of complex, autonomous systems that would revolutionize the supply chains of the future. Rio Tinto's Mine of the Future program portends a future of convergence of unmanned systems, big data and virtual/augmented realities.
The most recent video is below:
Here is one of the earlier videos (circa 2012)
In January 2012, Cisco released this 'future' video. Nearly two years hence, how much of this has come true? Are the linear trends projected in this video still valid or can we see some unimagined disruptions starting to unravel the way future was supposed to be?
