It's the height of the holiday season and that means that there are fewer emails, fewer meetings and fewer issues.
On the other hand, the real world carries on and it also means less time to find Council budget savings, the prospect of a by-election in Datchet (following the sad death of our colleague Liz Hawkes) and everyone promising things will happen "in September".
Meanwhile I can get on with some long-put-off work!

RSF Grantees and Visiting Scholars Featured in National Academy of Sciences Report on Adolescence
Several RSF visiting scholars and grantees are featured in the National Academy of Sciences' new consensus study report, "The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity for All Youth." The report was authored by the Committee on the Neurobiological and Socio-Behavioral Science of Adolescent Development and Its Applications and edited by Richard J. Bonnie and Emily P. Backes. Committee members with RSF affiliations include Anna Aizer (Brown University), Mesmin Destin (Northwestern University), Jens Ludwig (University of Chicago), and Michelle Jackson (Stanford University).
Aizer has received RSF grant support for her research on child development and social inequality. Jackson was awarded an RSF grant to examine the relationship between social background, educational attainment, and test performance. Destin was a visiting scholar at RSF during the 2016-17 academic year and Jens Ludwig was a visiting scholar during the 2010-11 academic year.
The report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral processes that underlie the path to maturity. The committee endeavored to synthesize recent advances in the science of adolescent development and assess their implications for the institutions and policy makers that serve adolescent youth. The report's chapters focus on a variety of issues that impact adolescence, including biology and the environment, social inequality, education, healthcare, and the child welfare and criminal justice systems. A key focus of the report was on identifying the disparities facing disadvantaged youth and offering recommendations to redress these challenges. Among the recommendations made by the committee are: strengthening access to healthcare services for adolescents, including behavioral health; rectifying disparities in resources for disadvantaged schools and students; reducing racial and ethnic disparities in child welfare system involvement; and implementing developmentally appropriate and fair policies and practices for adolescents involved in the criminal justice system.

Our Temperature Outlook for this Summer
With La Nina being replaced with a weak EL Nino, Temperatures look to be near normal or maybe slightly above normal especially in the beginning. Even though we're in a hot pattern at this current time, Long range guidance continues to indicate that the subtropical jet will start to amplify over the summer months. With this, Rain chances will be on the increase during the summer months. Out west, the "Death Ridge" or the Summer Ridge will dominate. Look for temps out there to be well above normal as the main storm jet will be pushed into southern Canada and over the eastern half of the US. Over the northern half of the US, look for temps to be near or even slightly below normal since they will be closer to the storm jet and have chances for T-Storms.
Our Precipitation outlook for this Summer
With the change to EL Nino, The subtropical jet will start to amplify and provide more storm chances over the southern half of the US (Including our area) Look for a near normal hurricane season over the Atlantic and the Gulf. Even though we had a early start, I fully expect that the shear will start to increase over the gulf and the Atlantic and with well below normal SST (Sea Surface Temps) over the Atlantic and the main development region, storm systems will have a hard time developing and will quickly die off. Out west, under the "Death Ridge", look for below normal precip chances as the storm jet will be pushed well to the north. Across the northern & northeastern half of the US, look for near normal precip chances as the storm jet will be near the area.

Michael Fuller
Kill the Black One First
From walking the beat, through cutting-edge detective work to the frontline of drug-related crime and violence, Michael Fuller, recipient of the Queen's Police Medal, has seen it all. In a more equal world, Michael wouldn't be described as Britain's first-ever black Chief Constable. However, with racism still one of the most important issues we're facing today, it's a testament to Fuller's talent, ambition, and perseverance that he held a range of senior roles within the Police Service and oversaw many high-profile operations. Join him as he introduces Kill the Black One First, his challenging, thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting memoir of dealing with life's injustices and serving our community.

Charente Maritime, a land between land and sea
The Charentais people are very fond of snails, and they have invented original ways to cook them. They enjoy the "les petits gris" (a small grey variety) which abound in the vines and ditches after it has rained. Sunset and sunrise are often a good time to look for them and for a snail to be collected, it must be adult (the outside of the shell has hardened).
The mojette is a small dried bean produced particularly in the Charente.
The designated Cognac region extends along the banks of the Charente (which Henri IV called "the most beautiful stream in my kingdom.") It's here that this world-renowned spirit is produced.
Marennes-Oleron oysters
The farmers of the sea, oyster cultivators have built traditional cabins along the channels that add a unique charm to the marshes of the Charente coast. Made from painted wood or coated with coal tar, with their mossy red tile roofs, little windows and brightly colored doors, they are an emblem of the region where fine oysters are Paysans de la mer, les ostréiculteurs ont construit, le long des chenaux, les cabanes traditionnelles qui font le charme particulier des marais du littoral charentais. En bois peint ou enduit de coaltar avec leurs toits de tuiles rouges moussues, leurs petites fenêtres, leurs portes de couleurs vives, elles sont représentatives du bassin de Marennes-Oléron où on cultive les fines claires.
Ile de Ré salt
Pineau des Charentes: the result of a happy accident
There is a legend that Pineau des Charentes is not only the fruit of the vine, but also of chance. In 1589, when Henri IV acceded to the French throne, a Charetes winemaker, during the harvest, accidentally poured some of the grape must into a barrel containing cognac...
New potato from Ile de Ré - AOC
Like a fine wine, these potatoes have been granted their own AOC, or reserved designation of origin. The Ile de Ré is a long strip of land that benefits from a mild southern climate. It's a little food lover's paradise.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) has played an important role in the diagnosis, classification and management of seizures. As with any neurodiagnostic evaluation tool, it is imperative to study it under various conditions in order to obtain optimal working parameters. Current guidelines on the ideal time frame in which to perform an initial EEG following an unprovoked seizure have been vague, and it is acknowledged that further studies are needed. This review aims to analyze studies with time recorded between seizure episode and EEG, and summarize the updated evidence on an optimal time frame for performing EEGs following the first unprovoked seizure.

STU 1404. Social Operative Infrastructure: Sustainable Water Models in Chile
According to the World Bank, countries need to invest 4.5% of their GDP in infrastructure to reach de Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in 2030. In order to do that, we need to start thinking about building new infrastructure and transforming the existing one. We must the question the actual operative infrastructure: how we could start re-calibrating it to make them operate not solely as functional systems, but as social and ecological tool for improving people's quality of life. The scale of the infrastructure in cities is massive, making any change or improvement a profound impact at the metropolitan scale.
The studio seeks to explore operative water infrastructure in Chile as a way to start a discussion about networks beyond monofunctional operation, with the goal of bringing social, environmental, and functional upgrades to the city. The ubiquitous network built under the surface, with hundreds of nodes emerging in different parts of the city, will be the starting point for a contemporary discussion about infrastructure, including its obsolescence and the role it may play improving people's lives in the future.
Hundreds of operative sites throughout Santiago, historically isolated or in dispersed urban fabric conditions, are now surrounded by city growth. The infrastructure contained only utilize a small part of the surface, producing negative externalities in the surrounding area and having no positive relation with their context. The studio will work from the city to the site, objects and processes, opening up different approaches and scales of problems and solutions.
Starting from the urban scale of the water network, students will work specifically on one of multiple sites, looking for emergent processes of urban renewal in the most segregated and low income areas of Santiago de Chile.

Car payments are something almost all of us have these days. Everywhere you turn someone is buying a new ride. It seems like the adult thing to do. To invest in safe, reliable transportation. I've been there, actually I'm still there now. My car isn't new, but we do have a payment, at least until May anyways (fingers crossed!).
But what if we chose to be different. What if we chose to pay cash for a car. What would that sacrifice look like?
Let's say Dave is 21, he just graduated college, and his friends are making fun of his ride. He has been driving a 99 model Honda Civic for 5 years. It makes funny noises, and one door is a different color. Dave has 2 options:
Option 1- Dave goes out and purchase a brand new Chevy Silverado. I mean this thing is nice! It has heated seats, leather, and a nice sound system. Dave is feeling like a million bucks. Until the $657.00 truck payment is due. Suddenly the truck is not so fun, because Dave just got a new job with entry-level pay and now he has student loans due and a big fat truck payment. Dave also has to get insurance now. Dave feels overwelmed and when he goes to put his truck up for sale, he realizes that it is no longer worth what he paid for it.
Option 2-Dave keeps driving his beater, he saves as much as he can of the next year's pay, he doesn't eat at fancy restaurants or go out much. But he manages to save a total of $1,000.00 per month. Then he sells his Honda Civic for $1,200.00 dollars. He now has $13,200.00 to buy a fairly nice used car.
Sounds ok. But what's the point? Well this is where the story gets really good. While the Dave in option 1 is paying his truck payment for the remaining 6 years, Dave in option 2 decides he will invest. He decides to keep up his saving intensity and throws that $1000.00 per month into some long-term investments. His savings really add up because of a glorious thing called compound interest. By the time he is 65, averaging 8% interest, those measly 6 years of investments are worth a whopping $1,770,772.60.
Did you read that?? 1.7 MILLION dollars. Wow. So the take home, drive a beater people, drive a beater.
I know what you're thinking, if I buy an older car, I will have tons of repair work, and I may as well have a car payment. But think about it this way, even if Dave needed to replace his motor during those 6 years, costing him $2,500.00. He would still have $1,708,795.43 at 65.
So say we are really smart, like Dave in option 2, and now we are 65 with this amazing savings. If you lived off a conservative 4% interest, you would earn $68,351.00 per year. And still have 1.7 million in the bank.
I just wish I would have known this when I was 21! It isn't too late for me or you. We can still be smart with money. Make your money work for you, instead of you working for it!

The people in charge of planning and buying NHS healthcare services for Medway are due to meet on Wednesday 24 July, 1.30pm at Fifty Pembroke Court, Chatham, ME4 4EL.
Local people are invited to observe the monthly governing body meeting, to find out about decisions being made on NHS healthcare services in the NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) area.
There will be an opportunity for people to ask questions at the end of the meeting. Anyone who would like to submit questions in advance is encouraged to contact the CCG executive support team by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 01634 335177.
For further information, and to view the agenda and meeting papers (published on Friday 19 July), visit the CCG website: http://www.medwayccg.nhs.uk.
You could save a life by simply checking a pulse. That's the message from NHS Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as it launches the PACT campaign to encourage people to check their pulse once a year. As well as checking your own pulse, think about checking that of loved ones as well, says GP Dr Peter Green, NHS Medway CCG's Chief Clinical Officer. A good tip is to pick a month – perhaps the month before a birthday – and check it every year during that month. By checking your pulse you may be able to pick up heart rhythm disorders that can cause strokes. More
A super slimmer is proving to be a winner at the losing game after shedding 4st and being named Hoo St Werburgh's Slimming World 'Greatest Loser', with the emphasis well and truly on Greatest!
In June 2012, the 42year-old weighed 17st 2lb and his size was affecting every aspect of his daily life. Since joining his local Slimming World group in Hoo St Werburgh Simon Carter is 4st lighter. Not only has he won the best prize of all – a fitter, healthier, happier future altogether – he's also won the 5.30pm group's Greatest Loser 2013 prize for the member who's lost the most weight – and all in just 8 months.
Simon says: "I feel like a new man since losing weight – in fact, I look so different that people I haven't seen for a while say they don't recognise me! I feel happier and healthier, I've got more energy and I'm much more confident now too. More

The newest teamwork from Piper-Heidsieck & Jean Paul Gaultier is a collectible champagne bottle that's perfect for your next holiday masquerade party. Although the bottle's stark red and black design may conjure up some seedy memories of Paris's red light district, it will definitely attract some major attention, adorning your bar as knockout centerpiece.
Dressed in a fishnet stocking and topped with a red eye-mask, there is no disguising that this collective collaboration represents the best in luxury. This seductive bottle design, seemly modeled after a can-can girl from the Moulin Rouge, celebrates femininity, sexuality and French culture. But if Gaultier's design isn't putting you in enough of a Parisian mood, then simply pop the cork. After all, there's nothing more French than a glass of bubbly.
The Piper-Heidsieck & Jean Paul Gaultier Design is Seductive

Empowerment workshop
I enjoyed the workshop a lot. As i had no expectation, i was really surprised how deep you could go into only a few hours. What I like especially, was that the workshop is structured into different blocks and subjects. Therefore different exercises are practiced. It's a mixture between physical and psychological exercises, exercises in groups or on your own. With simple thechniques and questions Aleks manages to bring your thoughts to the right place, so that you are able to structure your thoughts and see everything a lot clearer. Amazing about that is, that anyone can get closer to her or his own and individual path, wherefor the workshop is made for everyone! To conclude, i really really appreciated it a lot and would recommend it to everyone. Even if you dont have any special or defined issues in your life you want to get rid off, its still worthwhile to participate in the workshop, as everybody always can use some empowerment in life :)
Názor na lektora (Aleks Nikolic): Aleks is a very inspirational person, she just is how she is, and sends thus a very grounded energy. I really liked it, that she was not playing the focus role in the workshop, but was much more in the background to ask the right questions and just guiding the workshop, so that we could focus on ourselves. With her happy and relaxed appearence she brings a positive vibe ito the workshop.

Mobile ransomware attacks soar 350%
The global nightmare of ransomware shows no sign of slowing down, with the volume of mobile ransomware increasing by 350 percent in the first quarter of this year. That is the finding of the new report "Kaspersky Lab Malware Report for Q1, 2017."
The Kaspersky study found that ransomware targeting all devices, systems and networks continues to grow, with 11 new cryptor families and 55,679 new modifications making their appearance in the first quarter. The United States was the country hardest hit by mobile ransomware during that period, with Svpeng ransomware being the most widespread threat.
"Ransomware targeting mobile devices soared, with new ransomware families and modifications continuing to proliferate," explains Roman Unuchek, senior malware analyst at Kaspersky Lab. "People need to bear in mind that attackers can – and increasingly will - try to block access to their data not only on a PC but also on their mobile device."
As evidence, the number of mobile ransomware files detected by Kaspersky Labs reached 218,625 during the first quarter of 2017, compared to 61,832 in the previous quarter. The Congur family of ransomware was one of the most popular ransomware variants used in attacks. Congur ransomware is primarily a blocker, which sets or resets the device PIN (passcode) giving the attackers administrator rights on the device, Unuchek explained.
Some variants of the malware take further advantage of these rights in order to install their module into the system folder from where it is almost impossible to remove, Unuchek says.
Despite the popularity of Congur, Trojan-Ransom.AndroidOS.Fusob.h remained the most widely used mobile ransomware, accounting for nearly 45 percent of all users attacked by this threat during the quarter. Once run, the Trojan requests administrator privileges, collects information about the device, including GPS coordinates and call history, and uploads the data to a malicious server. Based on what it receives, the server may send back a command to block the device, Unuchek explains.
In all, 55,679 new Windows ransomware modifications were detected during the first quarter, representing a near two-fold increase from fourth quarter 2016 (which saw 29,450 threats). Most of these new modifications belonged to the Cerber family.
Other online threat statistics from the report include:
- Kaspersky Lab detected and repelled 479,528,279 malicious attacks from online resources located in 190 countries all over the world.
- 79,209,775 unique URLs were recognized as malicious by web antivirus components.
- Attempted infections by malware that aims to steal money via online access to bank accounts were registered on 288,000 user computers.
- Crypto-ransomware attacks were blocked on 240,799 computers of unique users.
- The Kaspersky Lab file antivirus detected a total of 174,989,956 unique malicious and potentially unwanted objects.
Kaspersky Lab mobile security products also detected:
- 1,333,605 malicious installation packages.
- 32,038 mobile banking Trojans (installation packages).
Unuchek offered the following tips to help reduce the risk of ransomware infection:
- "Use robust security solutions and make sure they keep all software up to date."
- "Regularly run a system scan to check for possible infection."
- "Stay wise while online. Do not enter personal information into a website if you are at all unsure or suspicious."
- "Back up valuable information."

The Capital Research Center, a conservative-oriented group that tracks charity and philanthropic groups, recently issued a report documenting the |American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals|' gradual shift away from a strictly animal welfare position to what is now almost a traditional animal rights organization.
The ASPCA, of course, is the oldest humane association in the United States, and is famous for its support of animal shelters. But since Roger Caras became president of the group in the early 1990s the ASPCA move closer and closer to the animal rights community. Caras has, for example, come out in opposition to meat eating saying "nothing is worse than reducing a living creature to a steak or chop wrapped in cellophane." In its Animal Watch newsletter, the ASPCA has urged readers at Thanksgiving to "save" a turkey "instead of serving one."
More alarmingly, Animal Watch has encouraged its readers to visit the Rutgers University Animal Rights Law Center web site. The law center seeks to have animals legally recognized
as persons. The ASPCA has also gotten firmly behind the "Pet Theft" issue and supporter various legislative proposals to make it more difficult
for medical researchers to obtain lab animals from pounds (animal rights
activists are convinced that large numbers of pet animals are stolen by
pounds specifically to be sold to medical researchers.) The ASPCA has
also endorsed various anti-Hunting and anti-Trapping legislation, including
those that would make it more difficult and expensive to deal with predators
that threaten endangered and protected species.
The Capital Research Center recommends
people concerned about animal welfare donate their money to local shelters
rather than national organizations such as the ASPCA.

Our Keto Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins are moist and delicious. Take a blind taste test and you will swear they came from the bakery! They are so light and fluffy. They are also gluten-free and grain-free. With your favorite cup of coffee or tea, these muffins are perfect for breakfast. You will think you are at Starbucks, except you will not get 43g of carbs and 21g of sugar. Our delicious Keto Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins have only 3g of net carbs and 2g of sugar!
The buttery cinnamon crumb topping is so easy to make and will bake right into the muffin for the perfect crumb cake texture. The smell of cinnamon will fill your kitchen and the result will be the best breakfast treat. Try them for dessert, as well. The creamy frosting is delicious and so sweet – but no sugar! They freeze well and are so easy to make. Every time Joanie makes a batch, I smile!
Keto Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins
Start with the crumb topping. You should actually make the topping first so you can quickly get these into the oven when your batter is ready. The key ingredients in the topping are cinnamon and a brown sugar substitute. Something about the combination of brown sugar and cinnamon produces a flavor you cannot ignore. You will want more topping. We use Sukrin Gold for our brown sugar substitute. You can purchase it through the link below. Butter will hold the crumbled topping together and add so much to the taste.
The Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins also have a combination of almond flour (blanched) and coconut flour. Joanie uses Erythritol for sweetening when she bakes. The cinnamon in the batter carries the theme, as does the almond milk as one of the wet ingredients. A special ingredient is softened cream cheese. It makes the muffins creamy and delicious.
Preparation Tips
Joanie likes to use a fork for mixing the crumb topping. You can pulse using a small chopper or Vitamix if you prefer, but by using a fork you can control the size of the crumbles. You should press the crumb topping slightly into the batter before baking and try to mound it a bit higher in the center of the batter. Joanie finds that it will sink in a bit and hold it self in place better if you follow those tips.
The batter can also be mixed by hand. Just make sure it is creamy and thoroughly mixed. If you prefer, use a stand mixer. Make sure the muffin tins are silicon or greased with butter before baking. We do not like using muffin papers. Greased pans produce a uniform muffin anyway and the butter adds to the flavor.
The combination of Sukrin Melis with cream cheese, vanilla extract, and heavy cream will produce a sweet frosting that you can drizzle easily over your muffins. This is a nice bakery touch and certainly recommended if you are making the Coffee Crumb Cake Muffins for dessert. If you prefer a more savory crumb cake, you can skip the frosting.

Continuation Partners:
Invacare International GmbH; Küschall; ETH Zürich, Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics
Reagiro is a completely new type of manually operated wheelchair: Thanks to a mechanism that has been registered for a patent, the vehicle developed by the designer Reto Togni can be steered by leaning the upper body sideways. A flexible back rest that accommodates this body movement transfers the impulse to the small front wheels, which – depending on the angle of the upper body lean – trigger more or less powerful cornering. This facilities a natural and dynamic experience of movement, which promotes a close, body-hugging connection between the wheel-chair and the user. In a large number of test rides for people with different types of paraplegia, it has been shown that steering the wheelchair via the movement of the upper body is fun, imparts a zest for life and a feeling of freedom. In addition, a trip with the Reagiro provides a therapeutic effect: it strengthens the muscles in the body and at the same time relieves overloaded hands. In the meantime, the concept of the Reagiro has prompted additional scientific research projects, in which a well-known industrial partner is also involved.

Green shoots all over the place this morning: BMW has given the UK auto industry a boost by deciding to build its two new Mini models at its Oxford factory, potentially creating thousands of jobs; Kenexa's latest survey on employee confidence found a near-5% rise during the second quarter; and the latest survey from the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply show that growth in the services sector hit a two-year high in August – suggesting that firms are starting to plan for the recovery. It's almost enough to make us feel all warm and fuzzy about our economic prospects – if we didn't have the likes of Hays to bring us back down to earth with a bump...
Let's start with the good stuff: BMW said today that it plans to build two new Mini models at its plant in Oxfordshire – some rare good news for the British car industry, after a year of unremitting gloom. BMW hasn't forgotten about its homeland – it's investing nearly £1bn back in Germany too – but it's decided against basing its new production line somewhere cheaper (we wonder if the Government helped 'talk' them into that?). One of the cars will be a new coupe (a fairly ugly thing, in our humble opinion – it looks like a normal Mini that's gone under a low bridge too fast), while the other one will be unveiled later this month. If a whole new assembly line is needed (the factory's already operating close to capacity) this could create thousands of jobs.
There was also positive news from the services sector, where activity rose for a fourth successive month in August – and at the fastest rate since September 2007. Since this covers about 40% of the UK economy, that's good news; CIPS chief exec David Noble admitted that much of this growth was due to heavy discounting, but it still suggests the economy might be back on an upward trajectory. Or at least it would do, were it not for the fact that the CIPS result doesn't seem to tally with the official statistics. And it's also worth remembering that this week's manufacturing figures were actually worse than expected.
The Mini news also needs to put in context. Recruiter Hays released its latest results today, and they paint a pretty grim picture of the jobs market: its profits dived 43% in the last 12 months, with permanent recruitment fee income down nearly 30%. Chief exec Alistair Cox, (who recently spoke to MT about the management challenges he's faced at Hays: see here and here) described it as 'the most challenging [year] on record'. And times are still pretty tough – he reckons unemployment is likely to keep rising for at least a year after the recession ends. Not many green shoots to be seen there...
In today's bulletin:
Should the NHS cut 137,000 jobs?
Mini green shoots after jobs and activity boost

Are you better off hiring school leavers?

Information visualization can accelerate perception, provide insight and control, and harness this flood of valuable data to gain a competitive advantage in making business decisions. Although such a statement seems to be obvious, there is a lack in the literature of practical evidence of the benefit of information visualization. The main contribution of this paper is to illustrate how, for a major European apparel retailer, the visualization of performance information plays a critical role in improving business decisions and in extracting insights from Redio Frequency Idetification (RFID)-based performance measures. In this paper, we identify - based on a literature review - three fundamental managerial functions of information visualization, namely as: a communication medium, a knowledge management means, and a decision-support instrument. Then, we provide - based on real industrial case evidence - how information visualization supports business decision-making. Several examples are provided to evidence the benefit of information visualization through its three identified managerial functions. We find that - depending on the way performance information is shaped, communicated, and made interactive - it not only helps decision making, but also offers a means of knowledge creation, as well as an appropriate communication channel. © 2014 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Over the past several years DSRC, as well as the V2X, were the only technologies which were available. The production of DSRC based vehicle to everything technology began in the US and Japan in 2017 after a lengthy period of multiple large-scale field testing. It would be difficult for a layperson to understand DSRC and CV2X chipsets and technologies unless he or she made an attempt to learn how the DSRC vs CV2X should be differentiated.
CV2X is being introduced with the same purpose of communicating directly with vehicles. This technology is defined as 3GPP which is based on the cellular modem technology and leads to a fundamentally different non-interoperable access layer with DSRC. Apart from that these two chipsets and technologies the address similar use cases with an identical network, application layers and security.
DSRC based vehicle to everything technology has been deployed in the US, Europe, and Japan even as the CV2X is gaining popularity in other regions. The general properties of DSRC, as well as the CV2X along with their commonalities and differences between the usability, are mentioned below for your reference. The technical comparison is also mentioned thereafter to give you a better idea about DSRC vs CV2X.
The objective of DSRC 802.11 P was to ensure direct real-time safety communication between vehicles to users of the road as well as vehicles to infrastructure. It was initially deployed in 2017 and has been slated for mass deployment in 2019. DSRC is a hybrid model which can be used with any cellular network including 4G or 5G for non-safety services and is self-managed.
DSRC has a dedicated camera which has a traffic light based infrastructure which can enhance safety. The roadmap for this technology is targeting interoperability with 802.11 P but has the port engine to create a cybersecurity risk because it lacks the ability to isolate V2X from the non-safety domain.
DSRC and CV2X are both rooted from different chipsets and technologies and lead to fundamentally non-similar operational methods. DSRC which is derived from Wi-Fi is optimized to be cost-effective and simple and therefore supports distributed operation. CV2X is derived from LTE and has added new mechanisms in order to enable distributed operation with the help of mode 4. The technical properties of DSRC and the CV2X technologies are as follows.
While the DSRC 802.11 P originates from Wi-Fi which is modulated by the OFDM which is capable of copying occasional long packets it does not have the ability to provide concurrent transmissions and the time synchronization of the same is loose asynchronous. On the other hand, the CV2X has an LTE uplink and is modulated by SC-FDM. The transmission time of this technology is about 1 ms which increases the energy per bit for communication ranges which are long. It has a higher processing gain for long communication range. The transmission scheduling is semi-persistent giving it the ability to sense the least occupied resource. It does not have the ability to sense collisions and responds slowly to the changing environment. The time synchronization of CV2X has tight synchronous requirements and therefore the average layperson cannot be under the impression that the technologies are similar because they are both different.
When comparing DSRC vs CV2X it must be understood that multidimensional factors need to be considered by taking into account the impact of every parameter which should be analyzed according to the properties of the vehicle to vehicle operation as it has been defined by the needs of the upper layers and applications of the vehicle to vehicle operations.

Eleanor discusses positive self-images for healthy families, teenagers, teachers, police, counselors, judges, attorneys and communities. She tells them how to positively influence and direct other people. Her approach is to inspire by example, belief and encouragement. If the group prefers, she can include discussion on the prevention of juvenile delinquency and sexual assault.
How the drug war and the crime wars can be won by developing mentors of police, teachers, coaches, parents and among the children themselves. It can include prevention of juvenile delinquency, gangs and date rape. She has bought this message to cities, rural areas and reservations.
Eleanor has developed an expertise on women's issues: self esteem, boundaries, violence prevention and how women get into bad relationships without the proper gift of "discernment". By using humor and compelling stories of real life examples, she provides insight, strength, encouragement and hope to women who blame themselves. By concentrating on creating a balanced and harmonious life for yourself instead of blaming anyone, she gets the group actively discussing ways to create a mutually respectful environment in any relationship that nutures and enriches lives.
Cultural and ethnic diversity often serves as a wedge in understanding between professionals and the communities they serve. Eleanor deals directly with often uncomfortable and crucial issues with compassion and humor, allowing diverse groups such as law enforcement and womens' groups to open their minds, gain understanding and consider how to view diversity as a gift, not a problem.
She most recently lectured at a MT State and University Conference on Race with Diversity 101. She shares her experience gained from her background in cultural anthropology, volunteer international Human Rights lawyer and work with diverse ethnic groups in the United States.
Highly complex topic is made straightforward and clear. As a former prosecutor, Eleanor gives the facts on kids today, enlightening and educating professionals and communities about the challenges facing kids today, why the suicide risk is so high and what steps can be taken. With humor and compassion, she gives concrete suggestions for everyone from the first responders (teachers, police, hospitals and courts) to communities to reach out to these children in need to work on drug and crime prevention.
For four years Eleanor has conducted national trainings based upon a manual and handbook she wrote on Full Faith and Credit. She includes in the training federal domestic violence laws that, in certain circumstances, make state and tribal misdemeanors or certain firearms possessions a felony. She makes complex laws clear, with personal experiences and interesting stories creating an in depth, educational experience. As a former prosecutor she excels in relating to law enforcement and the courts in a manner they understand, encouraging questions and lively interaction. For years she has also brought these trainings to the Reservations for much needed updates for federal and tribal officers.
As a lawyer and leader, Eleanor was trained to solve problems with logic. The goal was everything. After 30 years, a world of experience, and her later work as a professional artist, she realizes a more evolved way of problem solving especially when the regular route does not work. In an easily adaptable way through fun and creativity, she shows the individual or team how to reach that goal while drawing on a broader range of choices. Creating encourages a deeper form of mental integration. She does not teach at you but provides tools to develop greater skill, deeper learning and more openness to a broader range of choices. This method of problem solving creates great satisfaction. It is wonderful for team work and for individual leadership skills.
Please provide a few details regarding the upcoming event so that we can better assist you.

That plan includes 2,000 new hotel rooms, a 1-million-square-foot convention center, up to 20,000 additional parking spaces and a 1½-mile monorail to move visitors around the complex.
Spurred by recent signals from Trenton that the state might be ready to end Atlantic City's gaming monopoly, the Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce presented a proposal to build several sparkling gambling palaces, including a resort-style hotel and casino and a combination race track and casino, at the Sports Complex.
The ambitious plan to open New Jersey's casino gambling licenses to areas beyond Atlantic City have generated "significant private interest" in a Meadowlands establishment.
Banking on that possibility, the Meadowlands chamber updated its 2011 "vision plan" for the sports complex, now home to MetLife Stadium, the Izod Center, Meadowlands Racetrack and the long-stalled American Dream Meadowlands project.
The chamber's plan envisions these elements:
- A pair of hotels with a total of 2,000 rooms, one near American Dream Meadowlands and the other near the racetrack;
- A convention center of 700,000 to 1 million square feet;
- Four unspecified casino-gambling sites, which officials said could perhaps be at each hotel, the track, and at the convention center;
- Four new parking decks that combined would nearly double the 27,000 parking spaces currently available;
- A 1.5-mile people mover such as a monorail that would transport visitors between the various elements at the site: the existing NJ Transit rail station, the Izod Center, American Dream, and the new track grandstand and the elements envisioned in the plan.
The plan calls for a mix of private and public funding, but does not lay out how much tax money would be needed to build the various components. Presumably, the hotel and casinos would be developed with private money, while the people mover and the convention center would be publicly funded, at an estimated cost of $65 million for the people mover and $175 million for the convention center.
The Giants and Jets spent $1.6 billion to build MetLife Stadium, and private firms have paid for the more than $2 billion worth of construction at American Dream, formerly known as Xanadu.
Another proposal being promoted is a $4.6 billion casino project next to Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, with its sweeping views of Manhattan.
The proposal from Paul Fireman, a former chief executive of Reebok, calls for a casino and hotel rising 95 floors above New York Harbor, almost eyeball to eyeball with the new 104-story World Trade Center just across the harbor.
The $4.6 billion project would also feature residences, a 107,500-seat motor sports stadium and what is billed as the largest Ferris wheel in the world.
But there's one catch — The New Jersey Constitution limits casino gambling to Atlantic City.
But the recent closings of Showboat, Revel, Trump Plaza and the Atlantic Club — leaving just seven gaming halls in the seashore resort — have intensified the drumbeat for a 2015 referendum on expanding gambling to other parts of the state.
The Trump Taj Mahal issued layoff notices on September 13 to its 3,101 employees ahead of a possible closing date of November 13, bringing the total number of closed casinos to five as of November.
State Senator Ray Lesniak, who has introduced a constitutional amendment to expand New Jersey gaming, said his bill would allow for two casino licenses in the state. Lesniak said that if voters approve an expansion, additional legislation would be needed to determine where those licenses go.
"A casino will allow the Meadowlands to draw on an already existing customer base that wants to gamble and be entertained, but is currently driving past us to get to casinos in nearby states," he said.

50th Celebration at 'Cranlana': Sunday 30 October 2016:
Lady Southey who so generously gave us this special afternoon, notified President, Josie Woodgate at the last minute that she would be unable to attend. However this did not stop the celebration and guests were greeted at the entrance of the beautiful 20s home with a glass of sparkling champagne and an invitation to wander around the magnificent gardens. The angels smiled upon us and the sun shone all the afternoon.
There were afternoon snacks and wine and lots of talk in the reception area before everyone moved into the ballroom where the Alto Strings Trio entertained with a mixture of music from all eras.
David McAllister, Artistic Director of The Australian Ballet, spoke in glowing terms of the work of the Ballet Society as it affected his life as a student, a professional dancer and now as Director of our national ballet Company. David has been a great supporter of the Ballet Society and proudly wore his Honorary Life Member's badge.
Simon Dow, Classical Teacher and Choreographer at The Australian Ballet School, a former student at the School and dancer with the Company, also spoke with genuine regard for the work and support the Ballet Society has given to the School over the last 50 years.
The President thanked David and Simon and then mentioned two ladies who were present at the beginning of the Ballet Society's commitment of support, Mrs Sylvia Stock and Mrs Margaret Mallinson. She also made special mention of the former General Manager of The Australian Ballet, Ian McRae, who was also a great supporter and a wonderful communicator within the whole organization. Kenneth Watkins, Director of Philanthropy of the Company was also thanked for his long-time support and encouragement of the Society. Colin Peasley also got a mention for giving so much time and support to the Society's work and proudly mentioned he was an Honorary Life Member as well.
There was a magnificent cake which disappeared very quickly and everyone joined in with a great rendition of 'Happy Birthday'. Judith Rhodes, Administrator, was presented with a gorgeous arrangement of flowers for her usual perfect organization of this special event.

They were each released between 4 – 6 years apart through the course of a decade. They feature a surprising number of familiar faces. You might not be able to remember which is which. Heck, you may not even realize they're different movies. So it's time for me to document all three in a blog so I'll be able to remember which is which.
Coming from 1991, Campfire Tales still has that awesome 80s direct-to-video look and feel, from the synth music to the fog machines and lighting.
And it stars Texas Chainsaw alum Gunnar Hansen as the wraparound storyteller who entertains three boys camping out in the woods at night.
1st story – Yay! It's a Halloween story!
It begins as the hook killer urban legend and turns into a girl at her house being chased by a maniac.
Totally fun, totally Halloween.
2nd story – A kind of trippy tale…partially because it's about guys tripping on drugs. They finally find a dealer with a fucked up face who hooks them up with some good shit…that gives them the "munchies".
3rd story – A Christmas story, too? This is my kind of anthology film.
A psychotic dude who losing his shit because his family spends all their money on his nephew and niece offers to babysit them…and "Santa" shows up to teach those who have been naughty a lesson. Classic and creepy.
4th story – This one takes so long to get to the good stuff…pirate zombies! A dude is stranded on an island, we get boring voodoo background, and then finally the zombie pirates come out of the water!
Cool looking daylight zombies, but they're also swashbucklers, so there's a sword fight! Ugh.
The two holiday tales are definitely my faves in this flick.
Confused yet? I have no idea why they wouldn't come up with a different title for this one that came out only 6 years later in the same decade. Campfire Tales 1997 is mostly just a bunch of classic urban legends integrated into plots (much like Urban Legend would do a year later).
It jumps right into things with a hook arm quickie starring Amy Smart and James Marsden. Yep, something else it has in common with its shared namesake.
The wraparound has Christine "Marsha Brady" Taylor and friends telling scary stories in the woods after having car trouble…
1st story – Mr. Post-It from Sex & the City stars, and he and his woman are terrorized in their RV…by creatures we barely get to see…unless we freeze frame and screenshot it!
2nd story – An early cautionary tale about talking to strangers on the Internet, this one has a little girl terrorized in her home by someone she befriended online.
3rd story – This fairly generic ghost story stars the late Glenn Quinn of Roseanne as a guy who stops at a mute woman's house for help after his motorcycle dies.
Finally, the wraparound gives us a twist that wasn't as much of a cliché twenty years ago as it might seem now.
Overall, I found the low budget Campfire Tales to be more fun.
And finally, this is direct-to-video silliness from the great resurgence that took place when DVDs became the new fad in home movie watching. It also has the distinction of having two future creators and stars of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in its cast: Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day.
In the spirit of anthologies like Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow, the only anthology in this trio with a half unique title begins with an introduction by a burning skull head suggesting it's based on a horror comic book.
In the wraparound, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and two boys get stranded in the woods after car trouble and come upon a sheriff, played by David Johansen of glam punk band New York Dolls, who some of you may know as Buster Poindexter and many of you might know at all because I'm fricking old. He tells them a bunch of tales…
1st – Holy crap, it's seriously nothing more than an actual cheap, hard rock music video when we get a montage of a patient killing everyone an insane asylum. I fricking love it. 20 years later, a bunch of jocks terrorizes a weird gardener at their school in the woods, where they're in for a big surprise.
"What…are you going to do with that white-gloved fist…?"
Shockingly, a young Perez Hilton plays one of the jocks…and calls another kid a homo. So that's where he learned to hurl anti-gay slurs…
2nd story – Like a Creepshow 2 tale, this is about kids wronging a Native American and then suffering the consequences. But man, does it have the cheesiest, cartoonish hallucination sequences (we're talking cartoon wolves coming out of fires).
3rd story – The best of the bunch, this is about a girl who's convinced she's being stalked. It gets into slasher territory when she has friends over and they start playing truth or dare. A pretty basic tale, but it does a good job of making you wonder whodunit.
The wraparound concludes with an appearance by The Misfits playing at a party…the most memorable aspect of the film.

I've been up since 5am – way too excited for my bridal shower today…
What a perfect time to (finally!) update my blog!
I actually made this dish a few weeks ago, but never posted about it. It's amazing how quickly the days fly by when you're trying to plan a wedding! It's less than 2 months away now – I'm beyond excited, but a little stressed out by my list of still-to-do's.
Stas didn't like this dish. I've mentioned before that he generally doesn't like sauces, and this time was no exception. He ended up scraping it all off, much to my dismay!
I loved it, though! It was filling, yet light. Since the sauce is bread-thickened, it tastes and feels a lot more fattening than it really is (it tastes cream-thickened).
You could also use this sauce as a pasta sauce, to change this into a vegetarian dish!
Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Walnut Sauce
from Cooking Light, May 2006
- 2 (1 1/2 ounce) slices day-old white bread
- 1 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 /3 cup walnuts, toasted (the toasting is optional)
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 6 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- parsley, to garnish
1. Remove crusts from bread. Chop bread and combine it with the broth in a small bowl; let stand for 10 minutes.
Combine bread mixture, walnuts, parsley leaves, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, red pepper, and garlic in a food processor; process until smooth.
2. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 7 minutes on each side, or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
4. Add chicken broth mixture to pan; cook until hot and slightly thickened, scraping pan with a wooden spoon (don't use metal – you'll ruin the pan!) to loosen browned bits.
5. To serve, plate the chicken breast and top each with about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serves 6
(1 serving = 6 Weight Watchers points)

The first defense of a professional fullcontact karate world title was held during the 1975 Battle of Atlanta. Champion Bill Wallace performed against Joe Corley.
Being a martial arts expert is the first foot into the door of stunts in the movie industry. It's not just about fighting. Stuntman Steven Ito reveals the truth about the stuntman business and its relation to fighting arts.
An outstanding American athlete who dominated point fighting and fullcontact during the late 80ies.
Bolstered by a wild new villain in the Riddler, played by Jim Carrey, and the introduction of Batman's sidekick, Robin, "Batman Forever" also co-stars Don "The Dragon" Wilson in his first role as a villain. Wilson leads a gang of thugs that includes Michael Worth, an actor and prominent black belt, against the Caped Crusader.
The original Kung Fu series hit the airwaves in 1972, and not before or since has a martial arts-themed TV show had such a profound impact with an audience. First, the show hit number-one in the ratings during its peak. Second, several shows won Emmy awards, television's most coveted accomplishment. Third, coupled with the hit films of Bruce Lee, Kung Fu helped launch the biggest worldwide martial arts boom in history.
Berlin based martial artist and business man Georg F. Brueckner accomplised a lot. He helped introduce Taekwondo and kickboxing to Germany in the sixties, founded WAKO and created the TopTen brand of martial arts and boxing equipment. Let's remember George as one of the great pioneers of European karate and martial arts.
Blood an Guts, the early days of American Karate were a time in the history of martial arts that stood out just like the Wild West or the Gold Rush. Hardened knuckles and bloody noses were earned and deserved.
Bangkok 2012: Cynthia Rothrock, Don Wilson and a few others square off to rehearse for a new martial arts action movie.
While he was still alive people labeled him a living legend. American karate fighter Joe Lewis was highly regarded as a champion and teacher of kickboxing, sport karate and self defense. Here are some memories to share about his seminars in Germany from 2000 in Koblenz and Unna.

The latest trend in office space is the open concept. Companies like Google, Nokia and Facebook are celebrated for their elaborate open office designs where employees share desks, teams work in mobile "neighborhoods," and there are lots of collaborative spaces where people from different departments can interact on a daily basis.
Love it or hate it, open office spaces are intended to spark creativity. They are designed to create organic opportunities for employees who normally don't work together to share ideas, brainstorm, and find new solutions. Because innovation requires interaction.
In my last two blog posts I talked about the first two myths of creativity – that being creative means being an artist and that you either have creative abilities or you don't. The third myth is about the idea of the creative genius working alone in a lofty studio cranking out creative ideas while the rest of us wait with breathless anticipation to see what she produces. This is not how creativity works.
Creativity is a Group Effort
In design thinking, creativity is always a group activity. We talk a lot about the need to observe and interact with customers where they live, and to brainstorm/iterate ideas as a group to turn good ideas into brilliant solutions. None of the steps should be done in isolation, and indeed if they are, the outcome is never as good.
As Thomas Edison famously said: Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. The perspiration part of that process happens on a team. When we brainstorm and iterate together, we riff off of each other's ideas, which pushes us down new paths, challenges us to ponder new obstacles, and inspires us to come up with crazy notions that can be turned into disruptive innovations.
Luke Brodie, a master facilitator at ExperiencePoint, shares a wonderful story about the benefits of collaboration in his blog on brainstorming. In it he talks about a power company that was trying to figure out how to clear ice off of powerlines in hard-to-reach parts of the Pacific Northwest. In a brainstorming session one participant suggested they train bears to climb the poles and shake the ice off. Another teammate added that they should put honey on the poles to lure the bears up, and a third suggested they use helicopters to put the honey on the poles. That's when the team realized that the downward draft from the helicopters would shake the ice loose, solving their problem.
It was a practical solution that only emerged when a group of people worked collaboratively to think of creative solutions and to riff off of each other to make them better. It is the back-and-forth of creative interplay that often gets us where we need to go. So the next time you come up with a perfect idea all on your own, or wonder whether it is worth the effort to put together a brainstorming team to solve a problem, think of those bears. And remember, no matter how clever you are, your creativity will always be enhanced by feedback from customers and your team. It is only when the contributions of everyone are shared that the best ideas can be transformed into brilliant solutions that delight customers and make competitors wish they had thought of it first.

As far as young Irish talent goes, everything about this music video for 'Dear James' from North Dublin based Burnt Out is phenomenal. It's not often you watch something that depicts a picture as vivid as this; the desolate systematic oppression of working class Dublin youths who are often victims of their own surroundings and the void of community they grow up in – raw and real:
From their press release:
Burnt Out is a project made up of a group of heads from North Dublin, expressing through film, image, song and all else without restriction, the unfiltered local reality they are set in. Working class identity and the unhinged emotional and social violence of the estates set the cornerstone of the message.
Dear James depicts the state of affairs whereby working-class Dublin youths suffer at the hands of the system they are pressured into creating. Lyrically and atmospherically, Dear James presents the tragic reality of a Coolock youth marred with the problems presented to the working class in early-'00s recession Dublin: the pressure of merrit, valid work, social status, and identity. The true story of James recalls the public suicide of a teenager in the midst of these pressures, along with the indelible mark left on a community void of the confidence and foresight granted by stable economy and credible culture. Dear James puts those viewing and listening into the heart of the roads we grew up on, with all the pain, discomfort, and struggle as totally unavoidable to them as it was and still is for us.
An alternative cut of the film Dear James was previously shown in Dublin in June 2015 and in Paris later that year.
Dear James will be followed later in the year by another artwork comprising film, sound and poetry, with a collection of songs projected to appear after that.
I'm blown away after watching that and I hope to see much more from this extremely talented collective.
You can check out their facebook page & website here.
