Taking to the water
Being a mobility leader means being responsible for developing agile mobility solutions that respect the environment. We help local authorities integrate the maritime environment into their public transport networks.
We have global experience delivering maritime transport in 5 different countries. In Australia, more than a million people a month travel using our ferry networks in Brisbane and Sydney.
20 years of CityCat
Transdev has proudly been operating CityCat and CityFerry services on the Brisbane River on behalf of Brisbane City Council since 2003.
The first CityCat services were introduced onto the river in 1996. Since then we have helped to grow the ferry network from just 6 catamaran vessels (CityCat) to 21 in 2019, with a new double-decker CityCat soon to be launched.
Several new terminals and routes have been introduced during this time, with the service proving popular with residents and visitors alike.
Sydney Ferries
Since 2012, we have been operating ferry services on the iconic Sydney Harbour and along the Parramatta River. Our team of almost 600 staff help to deliver over 170,000 services for Sydneysiders and visitors every year.
We are proud to have won the tender to operate ferries for Sydney until 2028, and will soon be trialling new 'Ferry on Demand' services to improve mobility around the city.
Ride with Pride
We are truly part of the communities that we operate in, and our passengers and team members come from a diverse range of backgrounds and ethnicities.
As part of our celebrations of the 2018 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras we ran the Ride with Pride campaign across all of our modes during February.
The campaign was developed to show that everyone is accepted and should feel safe for being who they are on public transport. And we wanted to display the pride that we have for our LGBTQI passengers, team members and friends.
Transport hire for any occasion
The best events begin and end with well planned transport.
Whether you are organising a sporting event, school excursion, tour group or special occasion, our bus and ferry charters ensure your guests travel safely and have a seamless journey.
Brisbane Ferries
Transdev has been proudly operating Brisbane Ferries since 2003 on behalf of our mobility partner, Brisbane City Council. Our team is made up of 240 dedicated people who provide residents and visitors with an efficient, reliable and friendly form of transport.
We know Brisbane River better than anyone, with one of our crew-members 'Harry' a master on the river for more than 40 years and still driving our CityFerry services.
Our fleet: ferries, shuttles and passenger boats
The variety of our fleet allows us to adapt ourselves to the needs and opportunities of each region:
- ferries: capable of carrying both passengers and vehicles
- shuttles: they provide a rapid and efficient transport service for city residents and tourists
- passenger boats: true alternatives to cars in harbours, allowing both ends of a bay to be connected more quickly
Providing fleet to meet demand
We can adapt our fleet and configurations so that our services best meet the needs of the public transport authorities and our customers.
Whether it is providing smaller, faster on-demand shuttle style services or a slower weekend tourist route, Transdev can cater for all sorts of networks and uses.

Operating in 13 countries, we have an in-depth understanding of each region. Whatever the constraints we encounter, we start from the need for mobility in order to provide the most suitable maritime solution, taking into account:
- the geographic situation
- the size of the population
- the needs of each user
In this way, we help local authorities choose the best maritime transport solutions.
We also know how to integrate the proposed maritime solution with the local land transport network.
Portfolio of expertise FerryDownload
A recognised quality of service
On board each of our ships, we take care to ensure the peace of mind of our passengers during the crossing by guaranteeing:
- the respect of travel times;
- a comfortable trip;
- real-time information;
- optimum safety with well trained crews.
Our expertise in mobility and our understanding of customer service make us a privileged partner for maritime transport, perfectly integrated into the local economy.
We are grateful to be such a significant part of our customers journey, and are excited to be delivering ferry services fit for today and tomorrow.

Great teachers use a wide variety of assessment systems to know whether or not their instructional methods and procedures are working (Fisher & Frey, 2007). Long gone are the days where we could say "I taught that".
If they haven't LEARNED it, you haven't TAUGHT it!
One type of informal assessment is to check for understanding. Various ways to check for understanding provides teachers with important information to ensure that students are "getting it". The more you do this, the more your students will become aware of how to monitor their own understanding, which is vital in them becoming life-long learners.
It has been said that teachers need to informally check for students' understanding every 10 minutes. What does that look like?? Below I have complied some awesome ideas that can be used during whole group, small group, or independent time to help you do it…
Happy Checking!!!

Tell us something.
When was the last time you opened up your browser and saw a beautiful image of a body shape that looked just like yours?
When was the last time you saw an image of skin markings that looked just like yours? When was the last time you saw an image of breasts that looked just like yours? An ass that looked just like yours?
Unless you're a celebrity look alike and have real time Photoshop (like, a program that follows and moves with you) I'm going to guess that for the majority of us… it's been a while. It's been a while since we've (or maybe we've never) seen our body positively represented within that overwhelming flood of images that fills our social media feeds, televisions, and magazines.
And we want to change that.~The Expose Project.
Dearest family, friends, lover and Readers of Scarlett,
I welcome you to another post that I wish and hope has let you laugh, be shocked because I am a big fan of shocking you but most of all, wanting another piece. Or in simple words, hungry and craving for more like I am currently craving for pancakes, strawberries with maple syrup and bacon.Before I begin this new blog post, I wish to sincerely apologise for not having posted for the remaining weeks of September.
I have no exciting excuses that nearly everyone has used in their lives for instance "I was late because of traffic' or 'my dog ate my homework?'. As previously discussed, the Humog lives with Lois and Red even after futile attempts of kidnapping him, I feel that I am slowly turning into Cinderella or Snow White because the only thing that seems to hang around my place is birds.
Now considering I made a deal with myself that I would try to update twice a month if not more, I have successfully failed my own goal I set at New Year. In fact, there have been a couple of months so far where I have posted only once but that has been due to family issues, deaths and illness.
However with 160 hours of clinical placement to be completed with only the weekends off, I was more than a little tired and therefore not in the mental place to write something.
Because I know that if I had posted something and then later on came back to read it, I would have either been disappointed at what had been said, caused WWIII to occur within my household or I would have thought 'a little padded cell is pretty spesh'. To be honest, I needed a break from my life and also with what has been happening. On the other hand since I am caring about my new readers, welcome to the ever entertaining and exciting world of Scarlett O'Chunky, I promise I normally update twice a month.
For those who have been here from the beginning or sometime between "I've started nursing' to 'one year to go, baby!', do you remember the blog post that was titled When The Nursing Student Becomes The Patient?
I have a status update upon that subject.The reason why I didn't update for the rest of last month is due to the fact, my body decided on throwing a massive hissy fit like a two year old on my last day of clinical placement. And I ended up in triage as a patient for a couple of hours. Like normal I leaving out valid information such as I may… no, cross that out and change it to had been experiencing chest pain for a couple of days before being admitted. All because I had been originally thinking that it may have been caused by reflux and bad indigestion.
I know that all of you will be sitting there saying, 'for someone who is studying to become a nurse, you would think she would automatically take herself to the hospital to be treated'. And we all know what that answer would be, mhm, no.
Moving along, after I admitted to my facilitator that I have been experiencing chest pains, I was ordered down to triage to be checked over. After having an ECG and chest x-ray, I was told by my senior doctor who looked as if she had just stepped out of high school (harsh much, S?) that I was suffering from inflammation of the ribcage. Apart from that, I was being discharged to my little old self. With the advice of: if you suffer anymore of these pains, I suggest you automatically came back to the hospital for medical treatment.
That was after being informed by both Shawn, my facilitator and my doctor that I was NOT to return to the ward and continue working as a student.After much debating and who had superior authority over the other, I packed my bags only to spend the next twenty minutes signing documents. Informing Shawn of how an amazing facilitator he was that was after being lectured on how to tick the correct box. May have stated at the beginning that he was a shit facilitator before crossing out boxes and changing them, however I say in my defence: I was smacked off my face on pain relief and I felt incredibly tired all of a sudden.
Overall, I informed him that he needed to work on his abalone hunting story. Which can I just say after watching the Discovery channel, who the fuck catches abalone with a spear?
Sad to say that his previous placement (UCA) actually believed him and told him that he was 'awesome as for catching abalone with a spear'. Idiots.
After signing the documents, informing Shawn that I was fine to go home and that I wasn't going to go anywhere else, I walked out the hospital a free woman who had completed her 160 hours. Or I like to believe so when I tuck myself into bed at night. And promptly called Lois to inform her in case uni decided on alerting the media that I had been in hospital. Cutting this short: Lois freaked the fuck out, drove down, I crashed for the weekend as I was beyond fucked and the chest pains were painful.
I know that we still have two months to go before I ring in the New Year with a bottle of bubbly and a random smooch from someone, I am hoping that next year will bring a healthier lifestyle with less hospital and doctor visits. Not that I don't like waiting around for needles to poke and prod me but half of the time, it is always a woman who is doing it.
Disappointment on my behalf since I don't swing that way but then I am sure if I got a guy who was willing to take a vial of my blood, I wouldn't know how to have a conversation with him without blushing and acting like I didn't have a brain.Ladies and Gentlemen, this is why I am a single gal. This is simply because I cannot string a sentence together when I may possibly like someone, without acting like an idiot and getting all tongue twisted.
With that, I actually welcome you to the real blog.
This time last year I was counting down the weeks that I had left before I walked away for good from the little town I had lived in, boxes stacking up against the walls in my bedroom and the ending of an era in my life. However, I found myself sitting at my desk where most of the action happened to this blog such as writing and editing, thinking of plots, stories that had to be told and others that wanted to be told.
While staring at a pile of papers that I was sorting and needed to be sorted properly. These papers that held a variety of things such as what lectures needed to be completed, exam dates, plans for Lois' 21stbirthday and the flyer announcing that there was free breast screening happening at the local hospital.
I remember smiling at the lady who handed me the flyer one afternoon while I was walking to work, even though I was under the age of 50. And to be honest, I didn't even make a comment such as "I'm only 23" but rather I smiled back and tucked the flyer into my handbag. Which I found myself pouring over later that night when I had tucked all of my resident's into bed and wondered if this was once again, another sign after the light bulb incident that had me running for my life. This flyer soon triggered the juices of creative writing and one of my favourite posts after Le Sexe Est La Vie, called Darling, Touch My Breasts! was soon created.
This had you reading and peering over your glasses before sending me emails and messages. Fast forward twelve months and I am now facing the beginning of October and a new blog for the month.
I no longer reside in the country town that had cowboys walking the main road, horses tied up in front of the local watering hole and tumble weeds drifting across the dirt road. But rather I reside in the western suburbs of the ever busy city of Brisbane and with that, a new writing persona has been created than what was originally put down onto paper.
With that and the branching liberation of freedom I have been experiencing, I have joined a few pages that has made me raise my eyebrow in agreement or disagreement at what has been stated. One of these pages that happen to be dedicated to feminism and the liberation of supporting female rights has helped inspire this blog post.
A few months ago after my house mates left with the front door slamming behind them, I settled myself in the lounge room with a cup of coffee in the relatively calm of silence and started browsing the homepage of my Facebook account. Scrolling down, I came across a thumbnail showing a woman along with the wordings 'The Expose Project'.
Clicking onto the link and waiting for it to download, I took a mouthful of coffee and felt it pool in my mouth as my eye widened in disbelief and appreciation in what I saw.
This photo is one of the many photos that were listed on The Expose Project website and with that, I become a fan of the other photos listed.
However each and every time, my attention, thoughts and finger came back to this one photo. I don't know if it is because of the fact that this lady appears to be genuinely in love with her body, the fact that she is being photographed for the world to see her or that she is just downright a happy natured person.
Like many women when confronting this photo, the first thing that popped into mind was 'I absolutely love this photo'. Then was it followed by, 'wow, she has such an amazing smile'. Which I finally said out loud to no one in general or probably it was to myself, who knows, before taking a screen shot and sending it to The Sheriff titled 'I want her boobs. #boobcrush #girlcrush'.
After spending the last few months staring at this photo constantly in preparation of what I was about to do because I have no shame, hello toilet selfie, I can claim that I am in love with this woman's photo. Simply because of this woman's sassy attitude, the appreciation factor that is she not a twig but rather a healthy sized, curvy woman who may I say from a straight woman's point of view, I could and would become a lesbian for her.
Move over Nigella, you are sharing your pedestal with a complete stranger.
This leads me to saying god bless fuller sized women with perfect bodies featuring their hips, thighs and for you gentlemen out there who like a decent size: boobs.
I also feel that this picture has inspired my craving and wanting for October to arrive back when it was July/August because like a light bulb going off in my head, I had an idea for Breast Cancer Awareness. Now since it is October, I am finally able to do what I have been dreaming about for all these months. Australia is particularly fond of October as it brings awareness to Breast Cancer as it is known to be the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This is where we are told via television, social media and well me, to go and freely check your boobs whether you are in the shower and at the desk at work….actually maybe do it in the toilet. Or come up to your partner, take off your shirt and proudly stand there in front of him and say "Darling, touch my breasts!"
Trust me, he will think he has gone to heaven and died but rather you are getting your boobs felt up by your partner and your mojo is starting to become awakened. On that note, you go girl! Get that groove on and show him who is boss and that is you. Why not excuse yourself for twenty…scratch that thirty minutes, quickly shave your legs and your bikini area, throw on a little perfume, madly light some candles and pose seductively on your bed. On that note: Do not fall asleep and go for gold!
As I stated last year in my first blog for breast cancer awareness, I first discovered what October really meant many years ago and since then, have become a firm supporter and believer in the rights for women in regards to health. Especially when it comes to getting their breasts screened for any lumps or bumps, even if they are within the inner breast tissue and possibly cannot be felt by human fingers. This became more set in stone after living in a rural country town where the nearest decent hospital was an hour away on a good day. And whether or not women had private or public health care, I believe that all women should be allowed to have a free mammogram and that the age should be lowered from 50 to 45.
Especially if any female has a high chance of getting breast cancer at any age, particularly if the family genetics we are all blessed with at birth, states that you have a 75:1 chance of getting breast cancer. If this is you and you happen to be reading this, I seriously say: fuck the legal age and go and get your breast mammogram or go and see a doctor. The 65 dollars you will spend to see them can and will potentially save your life
Since that day of discovering what breast cancer is, the risk and possibility some women have compared to others, I have made a firm vow to myself that I am and will continue being a strong supporter in raising awareness for breast cancer. In fact, I am one of those crazy ladies you see walking around shops with a trolley and lets out a squeal of excitement when seeing the pink ribbons. I don't stop at buying one but rather I buy two (threeish) because I believe that the money is being put to a good cause and I work on the basis that it could be me sitting in that doctor's room, being told "I am sorry to say this Scarlett, but you have stage ….. breast cancer".
This brings back memories of cleaning out my nurse's pouch that had been filled with tea/coffee lists of my resident's when I came across my first ribbon that I had brought. Even though it was creased slightly from the bangle my Nan had given me for my graduation night of year 12, I fondly stroked that little ribbon before putting it back in its place. As I believe that has brought me luck in some many circumstances and no doubt, will hopefully continue to do so.
And since I am open and honest about my age, which is 24 soon to be 25 in a couple of months, I admit that I check my breasts while in the shower for any lumps. I do the whole lifting my arms up over my head, placing them on my waist and standing there with them stretched out wide to see if there are any lumps, dimpling, changing of breast tissue and any leakage. You are probably sitting there and thinking 'but you are 24?' And for your information, not everyone is middle aged when they get told they may have to have a breast removed.
And for those who a delusional into thinking that only women can get breast cancer, I actually read that men can get it as well.
I hope Gentlemen that your opinion of breast cancer and that women are the only ones who can be diagnosed, has somewhat changed. I have to admit that when it comes to pretending to be a RN, I pick the patients that not only put me out of the comfort zone some of us students like to live in. But also because they present with barriers such as language and mental that I find stimulating, in addition to having a history that exceeds past the URN number listed on their medical identity bracelet.
I came across this information when I was browsing through the Cancer Council website here in Australia when I happened to stumble across a guy named Kevin. I soon discovered that Kevin had been diagnosed with breast cancer after finding two little, hard lumps under his left nipple while showering. After reading his story and becoming intrigued, breast cancer in men compared to women is relatively uncommon. At the same time, I learnt that men are under the belief that it is only women who can get breast cancer and that men are immune to it.
This in return leads me back to my original reason for why I posted this blog post to begin with, containing the statement of the 'perfect body image'. Whether we sit there and openly discuss which body part happens to be our favourite, we all think breasts are best. If not, our breasts are normally within the top six of our favourite things we like about our body.
In my case, I happen to think my breasts are one of the most stunning things about my body after my face of course and legs. And like I have stated previously, I would be upset if I was told that a doctor had to surgically remove both of my breasts as I am fond of them. But if I could have what is listed as 'cosmetic surgery' to have my breasts back again, I would consider joining the bandwagon even if they would be made out of silicon. On the positive side, I would hopefully never have to worry about my bra size changing on a daily basis and I might actually be able to wear the same cup.
Ladies and Gentlemen who are in the medical fields and for those who aren't, if you know someone who has been recently diagnosed with breast or any cancer, fighting for their life or about to make the toughest decision in their lives; be a human being and hold out your hand. There are more times in a day where we need physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support from those around us because even though we may appear to be head strong and willing to go to battle; inside we are freaking the fuck out. When all we want to do is hide in our bed while wishing that this had never happened to us and why had it happened?
It is like the saying: an eye for an eye.
With that, if you live in Australia and see a box that has cute little pink ribbons in it, buy something and proudly display the fact that you are helping and supporting someone with breast cancer. Remember that you may not be walking a mile in their shoes but you could experience those pair of shoes one day. And you would want all the help and support you could possibly want and need. Because I know that I would appreciate knowing that someone could be helping with supporting breast cancer awareness month and also the possible hard decisions that I would have to make.
Just to survive.
With that, check your breasts whenever you are in the shower or waiting at the set of lights to change colour. And like I have previously said, if you do not know how to check your breasts properly for lumps and bumps and get your husband/boyfriend/lover to have a go or see a doctor. You may find it weird to ask them to check your breasts but watch what they do and ask them to show you so you can do it within your own home. And for those women who are having to make that decision towards removing a breast, you are still fabulous, incredibly strong, you deserve a pat on the back and you are still beautiful.
To everyone else, Breast Is Best.
Finally, Aunty A and Lois: Ladies, you have a date with a machine so it is time to get your girls out. Afterwards, we can celebrate with a few G'N'T's and a scotch and dry.
Until next time,
Cheers xo

A pc program is a collection of organised directions that directs a computer to carry out tasks. If being a game developer is crucial thing, then, you are absolutely right, getting a serious in computer science (expecially centered on sport growth) is the way in which to go. My apologies for saying otherwise, however your goals have to be crystal clear.
Without completely different codes and conventions to comply with, a documentary or factual programme could possibly be very uninteresting and boring. Once you define this fundamental coaching data, safety officers can affiliate workers with the coaching applications required for their job. The string format consists of two sorts of objects: characters that will likely be printed to the display screen, and format commands that outline how the other arguments to printf are displayed. This plan is a written document that describes the programme goals and scope, defines lines of duty and authority, and places forth implementation strategies. I was truly fascinated by writing something about easy methods to change into a programmer with no diploma – I don't have a level and though many firms expect it, there are different routes into the trade.
We'd not usually expect anybody to be the PI on a couple of MRC Programme grant, this includes programme leaders at MRC items, college items and institutes. If our firm would not offer a compensation package as good as our rivals, then undoubtedly we're serving to them to make the choice right now than tomorrow. Then again, even the place the physical conditions are reasonable, the programme lacks actuality. Sure, a pc associated diploma is very important for your résumé and a career in programming. Programme sth to do sth Computer systems have been programmed to unlock residence doorways or sluggish trains within the event of an earthquake. Define a concurrent program executable for each executable supply file you want to use with concurrent programs.
Monetary analysts will construct and/or use complicated monetary models, see that the enterprise's financial policies are interpreted and utilized accurately, and make sure that the program's financial impression is precisely represented to executives at key decision factors.
When Teacher A and Trainer B begin to outline collaboration as a deep partnership between educators through which curriculum is studied and understood by teams of lecturers throughout curriculum, they will be embarking on a journey to the best levels of collaboration.

I'd recommend to keep an eye on the activity level, especially to make sure that the mentioned contributors won't have to wait for days or weeks to have their patches reviewed and applied (I'd also recommend mentors to step in such cases if you have spare cycles). For example in the first week of this month chukwa-dev@ saw only a single line of new discussion [1] (that line was a useful contribution, asking for test cases though only 8 days after the patch update) and there have been no commits in almost a month. Based on that I'm going to categorize Chukwa under low activity and would really love to see activity pick up again in the next few weeks. Otherwise you'll risk being back in the "more activity, or retire" situation you already discussed earlier.

In its annual report on North Korea, press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders notes the resumption of jamming in 2007 of broadcasts beamed into North Korea. The organisation says:
Several foreign-based radio stations have increased their airtime, while newspapers available online, in particular Daily NK, have stepped up their coverage. But the regime responded to the challenge on 11 May by resuming jamming independent and dissident radios broadcasting to the people of North Korea: Free North Korea Radio, Voice of America, Open Radio for North Korea, Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Chosun. A manager at Open Radio for North Korea told Reporters Without Borders that this backward step could be linked to the opening of a railway line between North and South.
Jamming of short wave radios had noticeably eased after July 2006, since the authorities, hampered by a serious energy crisis, did not have the capacity to scramble broadcasts all day and on all frequencies.

Next China Tariff Impositions 'Not set in stone'
- Stock Market Response is Positive
Wednesday afternoon the White House economic adviser, Larry Kudlow downplayed main stream media reports President Donald Trump may implement more tariffs on China as the 2 nations' trade depute escalates in the financial press.
"Nothing is set in stone right now," the veteran financial guru and former Ronald Reagan adviser told reporters on TV.
Bloomberg reported Monday that the United States is preparing to announce tariffs on all remaining Chinese imports by early December if talks next month between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping fail to ease the trade dispute.
The list would apply to imports from China that are not already covered by previous rounds of tariffs, which may be $257-B using last year's import figures, Bloomberg reported, citing people claiming to be familiar with the matter.
Though final decisions have not been made, US officials are preparing for such a scenario in case a planned Trump-Xi meeting yields no progress on the sidelines of a Group of 20 Summit in Buenos Aires in November, according to the report.
And we reported that here too Monday, now we are learning directly from the White House's Economic Adviser that is simply not true.
However, "policy talks" will determine whether he imposes additional duties, "not an arbitrary timeline," said Mr. Kudlow, who served as The Trump Campaign's senior economic adviser.
"It is possible some good positive things could (can/will) come out of President Trump-President Xi talks. It's possible," said Mr. Kudlow, who worked as Reagan's budget deputy between Ys 1981 and 1985.
Mr. Kudlow also said Wednesday that Democratic gains in Congress would hurt financial markets.
"I am not going to make a prediction I do think part of the uncertainty in stocks is about the election," Mr. Kudlow said.
"I think a lot of investors … are concerned that a big change in Congress would cause a rollback of the chief factors driving in strong economy, lower tax rates for businesses and individuals, deregulation, opening up energy and so forth," said Mr. Kudlow. "I think folks have been worried about those issues."

Movie Review by Susannah Macklin
Starring: Robert Redford, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Clifton Collins Jr, Steve Burton
Director: Rod Lurie
US box office takings for this prison drama have been reflective of its premise – slow, tedious and dull. But don't be put off by any synopsis you read, this is an excellent and entertaining movie.
Robert Redford heads up a superb cast as General Irwin, court-martialled and sentenced to serve time in a maximum-security military prison. As Irwin comes to term with his incarceration, he struggles to ignore his own personal demons and a barbaric prison system helmed by Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini – THE SOPRANOS). Megalomaniac warden Winter first admires the man who inspired his own military career but soon wants to bring him down to earth – with a bump. The inmates join Irwin in trying to focus their endless time and find something to believe in. They may have been stripped of their ranks and rights as soldiers, but Irwin wants to give them their own battle to fight.
If cinematic justice is done then this should go down as one of 2002s most inspiring and moving films. It has grit, determination and plenty of balls. Redford, aided by a fantastic support cast with great performances from fellow inmates Mark Ruffalo and Clifton Collins Jr, shows he hasn't lost his ability to shine on screen, even if he has lost the power to pull in audiences. And having written the scripts for SPEED and MISSION TO MARS, screenwriter Graham Yost excels in his own personal redemption of SHAWSHANK proportions, with his brilliant characterisation and somewhat surprisingly coherent story of military milieu.
There's little wrong with this film other than its failure for people to give it a chance amidst a Hollywood history of great prison dramas. However there's more than enough room for this one in the line up and you don't have to be an army fan or male, to like it. This is one movie that should be let off for crimes at the box office this season!

Plac Grzybowski
Warsaw, Poland
Located within the historic Grzybowski Square at the heart of Warsaw's city centre, Plac Grzybowski is an unusual mixed-use project which aims to act as a bridge between the old and new, the past and future, between different religious groups, and ultimately, between the local Jewish community and the city of Warsaw at large.
The Square is currently owned by one Jewish group and it contains an existing Jewish Theatre, which is operated and maintained by another Jewish group in partnership with the Ministry of Culture. The government understands the importance of theatre as the only continuation of a culture that was close to extinction following the travesties of the Holocaust.
Built 50 years ago, the existing 300-person theatre can no longer accommodate the modern performance requirements. The land owner, a non-profit organization, has therefore teamed up with Ghelamco, a Belgium Developer, and consulted Andrew Bromberg at Aedas to come up with a proposal for their HQ and a 30,000sqm office tower, the revenue stream from which will fund the construction and maintenance of a new theatre set within the scheme.
The old theatre is currently hidden away from the street, well protected but a little introverted. The new theatre, located on the ground floor level of the tower, is all together more visible and inviting, with a foyer functioning as a porous public passageway that will connect Warsaw's Cathedral located directly opposite the Square to the only Synagogue in the city to survive the World War II.
The Synagogue is also a museum showcasing the historic significance of Grzybowski Square and the surrounding area – once Warsaw"s Ghetto – in the city's evolution.
The new proposed theatre is an emotive emblem of the current harmony prevalent in modern Warsaw, embodying and celebrating a symbolic transition from discrimination to acceptance.
The office tower is, moreover, a sculptural expression and extension of the spirit of the Jewish theatre. Embracing the theatre, the tower is squeezed at the bottom as a symbolic reminder of the terrible events the Jewish population experienced in Poland but also as a metaphor for their resilience – 'bent but not broken' – as the pinch is immediately absorbed and redirected optimistically toward the sky, towards a brighter future.

Correggio: 70 Drawings
Antonio Allegri da Correggio (1489 – 1534), usually known as Correggio, was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the 16th century. He was remembered by his contemporaries as a shadowy, melancholic and introverted character. An enigmatic and eclectic artist, he appears to have emerged from no major apprenticeship. In addition to the influence of Costa, there are echoes of Mantegna's style in his work, and a response to Leonardo da Vinci, as well. Correggio had little immediate influence in terms of apprenticed successors, but his works are now considered to have been revolutionary and influential on subsequent artists. A half-century after his death Correggio's work was well known to Vasari, who felt that he had not had enough "Roman" exposure to make him a better painter. In the 18th and 19th centuries, his works were often noted in the diaries of foreign visitors to Italy, which led to a reevaluation of his art during the period of Romanticism.

Denali – An Alaskan Lottery (Part 1)
June 30, 2017
Hailed as more difficult to summit than Everest, Denali is widely regarded as the most underestimated mountain in the world. Being in North American and therefore there being an absence of minimum wage Nepalese Sherpa's to carry equipment and gear, the true challenge of Denali lays in the endurance required to even reach the point on the mountain where you can start to think about a summit attempt. This is before you consider the fact that the mountain sits alarming close to the Arctic Circle. Due to its proximity to the North Pole and subsequently thinner atmosphere than over the Himalayas, the mountaineering community generally agree that if Everest was located where Denali is, then it would be unclimbable. With a narrow climbing season than spans from May to July, just over 1000 climbers had registered to try their luck in 2017 however as of the midpoint in the season (and our expeditions start date) the success rate was sitting at 22%, leaving a vast number of climbers defeated. Reports had come down from the upper mountain that 100% of those that had pushed to camp 4 at 17,000ft in May had suffered permanent injuries from frost bite. However, we were the 'Awesome 6' and we would be different. Right?
After meeting the group and preparing our gear we took our seats in a DeHavilland Otter aircraft operated by the Talkeetna Air Taxi service; a company name so casual that it would indicate its flights are rudimentary and perhaps boring. As the plane reached the Alaskan Range and dived down on to the snow for a bumpy glacier landing, it was clear we were in for an experience that was about as far from rudimentary or boring as you could get. Within 45 mins we had been transported from the picturesque touristy town of Talkeetna with all its civilized luxuries to an isolated alpine glacier surrounded by enormous mountains towering above us intimidatingly.
Although warned before the flight, none of us could truly appreciate the greeting we were about to receive from the enormously powerful sun and its reflection off the glacier. Due to the exceptionally clean air and atmosphere above, the extreme UV rays are immediately apparent. So strong in fact that sun cream must be applied every 1-2 hours and your entire body must be covered (including your face and hands) whenever the sun is up. An arduous task given that during the summer months in Alaska, the sun is up for 18 hours and even when it sets it only dips just below the horizon and never gets dark. Anyone who knows me would know that I can be sunburned by the moon, so I wasn't entirely surprised when my nostrils, tongue and even the roof of my mouth became sunburned after a few days. We all donned our classy nose guards which are something of a fashion accessory on Denali however often promptly removed them prior to any photos being taken.
We all energetically set about packing down a site for our tents in the snow, digging out an area for a kitchen tent and learning Denali's strict SOP for the toilet. In an attempt to keep Denali the world's cleanest big mountain, all #1's must be made at a designated location at each of the five camp sites on the mountain and all #2's must be conducted into a small can owned by each team and disposed of in designated cavasses. The Denali Park Service offer a special gift to any team that elects to bring their entire supply of #2's off the mountain and back to Talkeetna however to date no team has achieved the prestigious award.
After a few hours of sleep we packed up and started moving towards camp 1 with our entire loads in the night while the glacier was well frozen and hard. My load was roughly 55 kg which was distributed between a large back pack and a duffle bag loaded on a sledge. Instinct would be to load up your sledge with most of the weight however in fresh snow conditions a heavy sledge is a nightmare to control and puts enormous strain on your hips including muscles that none of us had thought to train. As the terrain for the next several days would be glacial, the hazard of continuously crossing hidden crevasses would exist as a risk that we could only mitigate rather than avoid all together. So each of us would rope up to two other people and travel in a line separated by 7-8 meters. The theory being that if one person falls through a snow bridge and into a crevasse then the other two would heroically arrest in the snow and prevent the now terrified climber from falling into the eternally hungry depths of the glacier. Travelling roped up for glacier travel is far from enjoyable. Firstly, everyone is separated by 7-8 meters, and so conversation is impossible. Secondly, regulating your own pace so that you are not too slow and thus jerking on the climber ahead and not too fast and slacking the rope which will increase the fall awaiting your colleague should he/she place a foot wrong, is exhausting. After hours of moving together roped up (and we did this exclusively for the entire 17 days while on the mountain) it is not uncommon to lose focus and step on the rope in front of you. A seemly innocent mistake can have dire consequences as a sharp point of your crampons can easily pierce the load bearing core of the rope and render it incapable of supporting a fall while the outer layer of the rope appears unaffected. Many climbers overcome the headache of travelling roped together by 'cleverly' simply not travelling roped together. This gained shocking relevance during the night as an un-roped Czech climber fell into a crevasse 50m from where we were sleeping at camp 1. He free fell 20 meters until his luck changed and the crevasse narrowed thoroughly wedging him in blue ice in a right state. Our guides initiated the rescue and were joined by the Park Service after 4 hours who came with chain saws, blow torches and a pneumatic chisel from the Talkeetna Fire brigade to attempt to dig out >1000 year old ice around the climber and recovering him alive after 17 hours. Perhaps unfortunately for him, he was 110 hours short of a movie deal.
Moving between each of the successive camps would be a 3-4 day process. On the first day, we would take a number of items such as summit gear and food to cache/bury in the snow roughly 75% of the way towards the next camp, on the second day we would pack up tents etc. and move all remaining gear to the next camp and then on the third day we would descend and retrieve our cache. A staggeringly drawn out process to move my 55kg of gear such short distances. We often then had a rest day depending on the frequency of grumbles and moans from team members during the previous few days.
Regulating body temperature while on the mountain is a highly underestimated skill that is often overlooked until it is too late and discomfort turns to something more serious. Standing still in the camp, especially in the mornings, can be freezing cold and warrant 5-6 layers, however once the sun hits the camp and particularly once we started moving with packs on, 1-2 layers is usually ideal. Anything more and sweat pours off your face onto the inside of your glasses and soaks your precious base layers. Soaked base layers are a precursor to a chill once you stop and the cold air cools your sweat. Removing layers once the team has started moving is highly discouraged as due to being roped together this involves the entire team of nine stopping while you remove a jacket. The trick is to start the days climbing a little cold and then to have multiple items that can be taken on and off when wearing a harness and pack while on the move such as a beanie, a buff and for the more advanced user, a jacket. Additionally to the suns credit it could really bake the contents of a tent to the point where I would often be overheating while laying down inside wearing only boxer shorts while it snowed and blizzard outside.
On day 8 we moved around the infamous Windy Corner, which is the final stretch before reaching camp 3 at 14,000ft. Living up to its reputation, we were blasted with frigid artic wind as we rounded a bluff and became exposed to a high speed stream of air that is the result of a convergence at the top of a bowl. With wind chill temperatures plummeted to -40°C. Faces are often frost bitten around Windy Corner as climbers are taken by surprise by Denali offering its first introduction as the notoriously cold mountain.
We rolled into Camp 3 and were greeted by dozens of teams that were preparing to descend sighting a poor weather forecast, inevitably reducing our comfort levels with regards to the prospect of going higher in the coming days. With news that no one had summited Denali in the last 8 days and a bleak outlook, my arrogant confidence that we would surely be in the 22% (current success rate) started to falter.
Some team members were starting to show kinks in their armor and the guides allocated a rest day, a frustrating proposition when I was feeling strong as ever. The sport of mountaineering may appear to be an extreme, adrenaline loaded and often exhausting escapade and I wouldn't argue with that however it also involves a great deal of rest, restraint and patience. Athletes are often the most venerable to altitude related illnesses as they are psychologically conditioned to train and perform under a level of fatigue and at times push themselves to exhaustion and beyond. In the mountains (as I will detail in the next blog) this can be a deadly recipe and a considerable portion of accidents can be attributed to a climber ignoring their body's subtle indications of fatigue. However allocating rests while en route conflicts aggressively with aspirations to go after the extreme experience a climber has mentally expected and prepared for, so far easier said than done. So, respecting the acclimatization process as well as the need to rest and restore strength, we spent a total of 5 nights at Camp 3 waiting on a weather window that justified moving up to the high camp at 17,000ft and on to the serious business.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this Blog.

3 Fresh Approaches to Social Media
Earlier this week, I was prepping to participate in a webinar on marketing and was handed a list of topics the moderator was planning to address. One specific question caught my eye: "What are some of the new marketing trends that have leveraged social media platforms?"
Like most of you, I've been involved in the traditional uses of social media — some were highly successful while others were deeply disappointing. But as the platforms evolve, so does the learning (from both the client and the platform), and both are looking for new ways to leverage the relationship between consumers and their apps.
I did a little deeper research on the topic and in speaking with the other panelists on the webinar, I came across some innovative new ideas I thought were worthy of sharing:
1. Snapchat Geo-targeting for CoverGirl
Adweek reported that P&G successfully used Snapchat to promote their CoverGirl limited-edition Star Wars collection of eye and face makeup. Since the products were only available at Ulta stores, P&G used Snapchat's geo-targeting feature to offer a branded overlay/filter atop any post that was created within the specific proximity of an Ulta store. At first my reaction was "how could this possibly affect sales?" But the story went on to share that through segmentation and the isolation of key targeting variables, P&G could attribute sales to their Snapchat investment.
While P&G declined to share actual performance, they did compare same-store sales for a similarly themed Hunger Games collection (whose marketing included TV and Tumblr), and the Star Wars campaign was more cost-efficient and had more of an impact. My translation?
In trying to identify new ways to generate revenue, Snapchat has figured out how to leverage some of the data they're already collecting. Since this app is tracks users by real-time location (as are most other apps), why not overlay that knowledge to specific retail locations in order to push a relevant message to the user? I can see lots of useful marketing applications for this intelligence.
A blog that challenges B-to-B marketers to learn, share, question, and focus on getting it right—the first time. Carolyn Goodman is President/Creative Director of Goodman Marketing Partners. An award-winning creative director, writer and in-demand speaker, Carolyn has spent her 30-year career helping both B-to-B and B-to-C clients cut through business challenges in order to deliver strategically sound, creatively brilliant marketing solutions that deliver on program objectives. To keep her mind sharp, Carolyn can be found most evenings in the boxing ring, practicing various combinations.

When a pest is driving you up the wall, what can you do? Where can you find the best advice online? This article is a great first place to look, so you've come to the right place. Keep reading to learn how to get rid of your problems once and for all.
Do you have a problem with fruit flies? You can get rid of them with a little apple cider vinegar! Pour some vinegar into the bottom of a tall glass. Add a little bit of dish soap. The fruit flies will swim into the glass, but won't be able to swim out, and will drown.
You cannot afford to waste any time once you find out your home is infested. Put your valuable belongings in safe places and call an exterminator as soon as possible. If the exterminator you called cannot come to your home within the next couple of days, keep looking for another available professional.
Prevent bugs from coming into your house by using a perimeter spray designed for outdoors. Make sure to spray the foundation along with areas around windows and doors. As you spray, watch for cracks that can provide entry for pests. Use caulk to seal these areas.
Pest likes to hide in cracks and small crevices. You should get a caulk gun and fill all the small hiding places you can find. Check for new hiding places regularly and replace the caulk if you need to. You can spray paint over the caulk if you want to conceal it.
If there are cracks and crevices around your house, be sure they are sealed as quickly as possible. Often, pests use these little holes to get into your house. Sealing them prevents this.
You may need to inspect your plumbing if you have a chronic pest problem. Check drains and sinks for any clogging. If there are clogs, then mold can grow, which will attract flies and cockroaches. Even if you're drains are all clear, still look at them every month.
Are you having a slug problem in your garden or yard? An easy fix for this issue is to simply place a pie plate of stale beer around the garden. The slugs love this and will crawl in and drown in the stale beer. This is an easy and cheap fix to a pesky slug problem.
Compare exterminator costs. There are different factors that go into different estimates, so find out what they are. You want to make sure that the person you hire can get rid of these pests for good. However, sometimes that will cost a little more. Do your research before hiring someone.
If you live in a home that has pests in it, make sure that you call and exterminator before you move to a new home. Many people fail to do this and they end up carrying bugs with them to their new places. This means you will have the same issue all over again in a new place.
Reading seems to provide the answers to everything, be it pests or otherwise. This article has given you all you need to know. It's important that you get started dealing with the issue today. Once you have it all under control, you'll be able to relax and enjoy life again.

Scion manufactures various models including the iQ and the xA. Scion falls under Toyota and was focused on the younger market.
Scion is a brand under Toyota that was started in 2003. It was aimed at a younger driver market, and they focused their attention on sports compact vehicles. The brand was launched with the aim of having a short product cycle as well as lower dealer margins which eventually became a bit difficult to keep up. In 2016 Toyota announced it will shut down the brand and the remaining models will be rebranded as Toyota vehicles for the next year.
Toyota launched project Genesis in 1999 to appeal to younger buyers in the United States. The advertising strategy was based on compact coupe models sold by Toyota and this included the introduction of the Toyota Echo.
The first Scion was introduced in 2002 at the New York Auto Show. The 2004 model was also revealed at the greater Los Angeles auto show and they were only available at 105 Toyota dealerships at the initial launch date.
In 2004, various Scion vehicles were available to the public and in December 2006, the next generation vehicles were launched. The company expanded to Canada in 2010 and they offered their vehicles at 45 selected dealerships throughout the country.
Popular Scion Models
The company manufactured five different car models throughout 2014, which included the second-generation tC, a three-door lift back based on the popular Toyota Avensis. They also had a second-generation xB which was a five-door box shape wagon That was based on the Toyota Corolla in the Japanese market.
The xA was rebranded as the Toyota Yaris and was manufactured alongside the Mazda 2. The iM was a concept car unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, and it's a five-door subcompact hatchback. It has a 1.5 L engine and the choice between a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission.
The iQ was also a popular model but its sales rapidly declined. This is when Toyota told dealers that they can drop the brand without penalty.
Although the company was not a well-known brand in motorsport, they did take part in numerous championships. One of these was the Formula Drift Championship in Irwindale. Here they drove the Scion Racing tC and they took pole position in 2015.
The Scion brand was short lived but made a lasting impression. They were part of the Toyota brand and delivered a few models that were quite unique and perfect for their target market. Scion aimed at providing safe cars for a younger market, and that's what they delivered.

Just about every 2nd, a car or truck driving down the roadway suffers hurt into the windshield that needs auto glass repair Columbia SC. Whether or not it's from a rock, a stick, a chicken hitting the windshield, and so forth. you can find numerous leads to that result within the very same thing; a chipped or cracked windshield. The issue with destruction towards your vehicle glass is two-fold.
1. It Impairs Your Visibility – A crack within the driver's side in the automobile, or maybe a bulls eye chip in the broad splash, can reduce your eyesight much much more than you comprehend. Primarily you are building a blind location immediately in your area of eyesight. This can cause you to miss out on purple lights, a pedestrian, the brake lights on an additional vehicle, debris falling in to the street, and so forth. In addition it negates the glare reduction of windshields, building it tougher to see when driving into daylight or during the night time.
2. Security is Diminished – A windshield is designed with two layers of glass divided by a layer of PVB that performs multiple applications; it glues the levels jointly and bonds them, it reinforces the glass during the celebration of a crack (forcing it crumble in place of shatter into huge deadly shards) and it lowers UV publicity. Once you enable chips and cracks create, you problems this inner layer, exposing it to the features. This also reduces the integrity of the windshield general.
A lot of drivers think that getting a chip fixed is undoubtedly an high priced ordeal but it can be nowhere in close proximity to as expensive as absolutely changing your windshield. Below will be the main advantages of choosing auto glass repair service in excess of windshield substitute.
Easy Repairs – A mend in your window is easy. This can be managed commonly in under 60 minutes and your auto is immediately offered to you personally. Examine this to alternative which could consider several hours in advance of it really is completed and drivable with another 10-24 several hours before it can be remedied completely with the seams.
Inexpensive – The cost of windshield and automobile glass maintenance is surprisingly reasonably priced. If you ended up to pay for out of pocket you could potentially assume someplace during the number of $50 for any single chip fix. Which is a lot less than the expense of most coverage deductibles on windshield alternative. In case you have whole coverage, your insurance provider may go over the chip or crack repair outright, without the need of you paying a dime.

Mother pregnates 14-year-old daughter!
A mother forcefully inseminates her 14-year-old daughter with frozen sperm. Find out what really happened in this mind-boggling case.
This teen pregnancy story is one that has an unexpected spin to it. An adopted daughter was forced to bear a child, just because her mother was obsessed with having one more baby girl in the household. The adopted daughter, only known as A to protect her identity, went along with the crazy two-year insemination program just to win her mother's affections.
According to reports, A told the High Court: "Mum said to me, "A, the only way I can have a fourth child is for you to get pregnant".
Her reaction to the request was of childlike naivety: "I was shocked, pretty shocked at first. And then I suddenly thought, 'Maybe if I do this then everything will be over. Mum will be happy like she was before'. And I also thought from a selfish point of view, 'If I do this . . . maybe she will love me more'."

A "toxic cocoon" of a home
The mother in question has three children, all homeschooled. All so that her children will not be exposed to the world but live in isolation, away from friends and neighbours alike.
It was a home of violence and darkness. A had reported that she saw her mother hit her youngest sister frequently. The little one had been tied to a chair when she refused to sit still and even had duct tape stuck to her mouth for answering back.
Neighbours had described the family's terrace house as a "fortress" with curtains that are drawn all the time and absolutely no one was allowed inside.
A body to be used
In essence this mother was merely using her daughter's body for surrogacy purposes as she was banned from adopting more children yet she pined for just one more.
Reportedly the judge revealed: "A did not want to take part in the programme, but she allowed her body to be used by her mother because she loves her. A's participation in the programme caused her continuous anxiety. The physical steps that the mother asked her to take were degrading, humiliating and, on occasions, painful."
Watch the video below for the insemination process
Insemination nightmare
Frozen sperm was purchased over the internet by the mother. In fact, she prepared syringes with the sperm for her daughter to inseminate herself! The mother was also obsessed about having the offspring be a girl, so she forced A on a stringent diet of mostly alkaline and daily products—believing this diet would help influence the gender of the baby.
A son was born to A in June 2011—it was not an easy labour, A had to undergo surgery.

Unconditional love
It is common for a mother to love her child unconditionally –she will do almost anything for the child. In this case however, A did everything she could to please her unreasonable adopted mother.
At the age of 15, after having gone through one miscarriage, A sent a Mother's Day card containing a heart wrenching message albeit disturbing since we know what her mother did: "Happy Mother's Day List (the things I cannot give you but would if I could)." A pasted pictures of her mum's favourite celebrities on the card.
And at the bottom of the card A included a photo of her pregnancy test that was positive. The message continues: "And the one thing that I can. And will." Surprisingly, according to court hearing reports, A still had a tender spot for her mother and was grateful that her mother had adopted her and her sisters. She shared: "My mum has done as much as she could to give us a good and happy life."
Now A is 19 and lives in a foster home with her son.
Being grateful
Let's take a moment and look at our lives and how our parents have raised us in love. Now, we in turn bringing our children up in an environment of comfort and affection. Let's soak up our blessings and be thankful for all that we have knowing that not everyone is as fortunate as we are.

Andrei Platonov Quotes
A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.
— Andrei Platonov
At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.
Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?
From our ugliness will grow the soul of the world.
Happiness will come from materialism, not from meaning.
I have a trend of my own.
I lived and languished.
I want my word to be up to the scale of the feat of arms performed by the Russian soldier.
If kids can forget their own mothers but still have a sense of comrade Lenin, then Soviet power really is here to stay!
If they don't think, people act senselessly.
My body gets weak without truth.
The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat.
We can't feel anything - all that's left inside us is dust.
We hate our squalor.
What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?
When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.
Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive.
A man who's never seen war is like a woman who's never given birth - soft in the head.

This morning while I was laying bed listening to the psedostep-kids playing and drinking my 1st cup of coffee*, I start to smell the delicious breakfast The BF was cooking. I roll over to send a text message to The BF telling him how yummy breakfast smells.
It dawns on me that I am incredibly lazy. I could have very easily got out of bed and talked to The BF but I choose to text message someone who is down the hall. I love technology.
*I need to add a quick side note of appreciation..most weekends The BF brings me coffee in bed. Sometimes I bring it to him but most the time he spoils me and I can not express how grateful I am at this little act of kindness.

I am using a model which is implementing a passive current. The passive conductance and equilibrium potential (gpas, epas) are set to a constant value, yet the passive current (ipas) changes in time. I was wondering why this occurs.

Anything that doesn't fit elsewhere.

Re: passive current
Ionic current is driven by electrochemical potential gradient across the membrane. A good place to read further on this topic would be Johnston & Wu's "Foundations of Cellular Neurophysiology" or Aidley's "Physiology of Excitable Cells" or
