In light of the new coronavirus pandemic, more and more lawmakers and housing advocates are calling for rent cancellation in New York. They argue that as tenants lose their jobs or get their hours cut, they need economic relief. But the main legislative proposal may not be the best way forward, for either landlords or tenants.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed a 90-day eviction moratorium, effectively codifying a memo that came earlier from the state courts. Cuomo, who hasn’t publicly supported a rent freeze, has said his action is enough to protect renters because their landlords can’t evict them for not paying rent.
However, tenant advocates have argued that Cuomo’s order will simply cause a backlog of evictions once the moratorium is lifted, because it doesn’t offer any rent forgiveness. Renters who don’t pay now can get penalized later. “People are not paying rent,” Cea Weaver, campaign coordinator for the Housing Justice for All coalition, a group of left-leaning organizations advocating for tenant rights, said. “We’re desperately seeking a policy solution that’s not homelessness.”
In order to address the issue, state Sen. Michael Gianaris introduced a rent-relief bill that would allow “any residential tenant or small business commercial tenant in the state that has lost income or has been forced to close their place of business” to have their rent suspended for 90 days. That means that they won’t owe any rent during that period, even when it is over. It includes relief for the landlords who need it in the form of mortgage payment forgiveness for 90 days. This goes further than the moratorium on mortgage payments that Cuomo already instituted, which only applies to owners of single and two-family homes facing financial hardships as a result of the pandemic, and only defers those payments to a later date.
Gianaris hopes to remove the burden from both renters and landlords and instead place more of the financial strain on banks and mortgage holders, who are likely to receive significant aid from the federal government. “The federal aid package will be helpful in that regard,” Gianaris told New York magazine. “Once you get past that to the next rung, the mortgage holders and the banks, I think they’re better equipped to absorb some of the sacrifice and more likely to be the beneficiaries of federal assistance.”
However, Michael Johnson, spokesman for the landlord organization Community Housing Improvement Program, said the Gianaris bill as written does not do enough to protect small landlords like his group’s members. He said that the language is far too broad about who would qualify for a rent freeze, and that he is not confident that landlords would actually get the relief the bill promises. “If it got changed in a way that makes sure that residential landlords got relief … the mortgages are not the large chunk of the payments that they have in operating costs,” Johnson said, adding that many small landlords may still need to file for bankruptcy under the Gianaris bill. The legislation is fairly light on detail, and Gianaris has admitted that some of that will be decided after passage through state agency regulations. For example, his legislation provides no guidance about how much loss of income would excuse someone from paying rent.
Economist Josh Mason, who has been working with Housing Justice for All in developing their proposals, also suggested that intervention is best made early in the form of public funds going towards paying rent. “It’s much better, for all sorts of reasons, rather than to have a sort of disorderly wave of rents not being paid and mortgages going into default and the financial institutions are in distress … it would be much better to be acting on the front end of that,” Mason said. Gianaris’ bill would answer part of the question by proactively regulating lack of rent payments, thus providing some order there, but largely relies on the later bailout of financial institutions.
Housing Justice for All, while supportive of Gianaris’ bill, has also proposed a $10 billion landlord relief fund alongside a universal suspension of rent, mortgage and utility payments. This way, there is rent relief for tenants while ensuring that overburdened landlords are receiving direct monetary aid where needed as well. “We are trying to bail out buildings,” Weaver said. “We’re not trying to bail out banks.” She added that more well-off and large landlords, for whom a few months without rent will not bankrupt them, must also be willing to “tighten the belt.” Mason said that from an economic standpoint, a bailout for landlords is not fundamentally different from the other industry bailouts during the current crisis and past recessions.
Johnson said that the landlords’ group would likely be supportive of the Housing Justice for All universal suspension of rent and mortgage payments. “That’s just sort of a simpler way to solve the problem,” Johnson said. He added that it’s similar to a bill that would create a voucher program for struggling renters that state Sen. Brian Kavangh introduced before the coronavirus pandemic in February.
But Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow at the conservative think tank the Manhattan Institute, said that direct payments to landlords and property owners is the wrong way to think about the problem. She suggested that New York City come up with commissions to determine how to offer rent forgiveness for commercial tenants forced to shut down their businesses, and rent relief for residential tenants who have lost their jobs. But she said for the property owners, aid should come in the form of loans to stay afloat until their tenants can pay again. “This is part of the downside of long term investments, and the federal government does not generally protect people from declines in their investment,” Gelinas said. She noted, however, that the calculus is different for small, residential landlords with rent-regulated buildings, who may need more help since their margins are generally very slim.
The other critical question for Weaver and her proposed landlord relief fund is how the state is supposed to come up with $10 billion, and why is it necessary to subsidize homeowners or renters who haven’t suffered any loss of incomes. “The people who are still employed should not see this as a rent holiday,” Gelinas said. New York is facing up to $15 billion in lost revenues as lawmakers negotiate the state budget. Progressive activists and lawmakers are calling for increased taxes on the wealthy, but Cuomo has long said he would not add any new revenue sources. “The state and local governments are going to have significant problems keeping basic services up and running,” Gelinas said.
Weaver suggested that the money could come from federal relief funds, but New York is not receiving enough money for that now. Most of the expected $40 billion the state is getting in the most recent stimulus bill is for hospitals, uninsurance and a transit bailout – $3.8 billion is directly for the state government, which will likely go towards filling the expected budget gap. Weaver said that the next federal relief bill should have more money specifically set aside to help renters and property owners.
For renters facing tough times, Gianaris’ bill may not be perfect for many stakeholders, but it also may have the greatest chance of becoming reality.

Six Havre High School students were required to create 30-second Public Service Announcements for their final project in media class this year. They never thought that their projects would hit the big screen and earn them top honors at the Yellow Bus Creations Hi-Line Documentary Film Festival Sunday afternoon. Sophomore Tabitha Myers and junior Kayla Knowlton were partners and won first-place for their PSA, "Tackling Drugs, Saving Lives." Myers and Knowlton admitted that this was their first documentary. They said they were thrilled that they won first-place knowing that there were adults' entries they had competed against. "It feels good because you know that out of everybody, you were the best," Knowlton said. Myers and Knowlton chose their topic because of a close friend of Knowlton's who had died of substance abuse. Myers and Knowlton also won $50 from Yellow Bus Creations for their first-ever documentary. Sophomores Trevor Dees and Haley Lippy earned second-place for their PSA, "Will You Live To Tell Your Story," about falling asleep while driving. Dees said a friend of his got into an accident after falling asleep at the wheel. Dees and Lippy were given $25 from Yellow Bus Creations, for their first-time ever documentary. Seniors Brittany Ennis and Tanya Westbrook took home a third-place plaque for their PSA, "Help Us, Help You," about a therapeutic riding program available in Havre. Westbrook said she got the idea for their topic from a HHS 2007 graduate, Molly Proctor, who had volunteered for the program, and after a bit of research Ennis and Westbrook discovered that there was a need for more volunteers at the program. "It felt good (to win)," Ennis said. "I was shocked." "We really didn't even think we would do well," Westbrook said. Ennis and Westbrook received a gift basket of incense, soaps and candles from Julie's Hallmark & Antiques. The students' media teacher, Vicki Proctor, was impressed that her students took home three plaques from the film festival, especially since this was the first time HHS had submitted entries to the second-annual event. "It was great seeing all of them on the big screen," Proctor said. "I felt really proud of them. My heart raced a little bit for them." Proctor said the 2007 Film Festival inspired her to get her students into the community and check out its resources. She asked the Yellow Bus Creations coordinators at the beginning of the school year if they could include a PSA/Commercial category in this year's film festival. She was very grateful that her request was carried out because her students learned a great deal from the project. "They really encouraged my kids," she said. "I jumped out on a hope and a prayer. "As a teacher, this was a way to authentically assess what my kids can do and this film festival does that." She said her students prepared their PSAs in one month, which included learning about camera angles and different perspectives, storyboarding their documentaries, three-point lighting techniques, some of the legalities of creating a documentary, writing scripts, making contacts, familiarizing themselves with the camera and Lighting equipment, shooting their footage and editing their projects through software called Pinnacle. Proctor said copies of the students' PSAs can be made by the organizations that were represented in their documentaries for commercial time on television if desired. Proctor added that it was the students' wishes to keep the plaques at the school. Rob Everingham of Beartooth News helped the students with on-location shoots and throughout their projects. The future is looking bright for HHS's media students, and this is only the beginning. Now Proctor's students are working on a promotional commercial for Montana State University- Northern's College of Technical Sciences to help them recruit new students. Proctor added that her Media II students air a 15-minute news broadcast every Thursday during fourth-period called "Blue Pony News." "We're the only school in the state that shows (the program) to the entire building," she said.

Nearly 100 expressive therapists, students, former colleagues and other devotees celebrated the life and impact of the late Dance Movement Therapy icon Norma Canner Thursday night, on what would have been her 100th birthday.
Canner, who pioneered Lesley’s Dance Movement Therapy program in the early 1970s, was remembered by her former colleagues as well as Lesley faculty members and students who, though they might never have met her, understood Canner’s contribution to the university and beyond.
Canner’s daughter, visual artist Karen Canner Moss, spoke lovingly of her mother’s eclectic — if not eccentric — taste in home décor (including misprinted wallpaper “with off-kilter eyes”), her focus on instilling moral values and a respect for the creative process.
“She was rebellious and creative,” Moss said.
Though the Great Depression left Canner without the means to attend college, the Brookline, Mass., native traveled to New York to become an actress. Later, after meeting her husband (a Columbia student) and moving with him to Toledo, Ohio, she found a way to turn her creative spirit and her love of dance into a means of healing others.
Canner began working in an state hospital which, at the time, was little more than a warehouse for people with mental illness.
“It was medieval,” Moss said. “People in hospital johnnies walked around in circles all day.”
But Canner saw a way to help the patients, who had chronic schizophrenia, by getting them to move in ways that were creative, and ultimately therapeutic.
In the 1960s, her experience led her back to Massachusetts, where she launched movement programs in hospitals and began teaching at various Boston-area colleges. Then, in 1974, University Professor Shaun McNiff — himself an Expressive Therapies pioneer — brought her to Lesley.
“The first faculty member I tried to recruit was Norma Canner,” McNiff said, recalling the heady early 1970s filled with “madness, but love for all the people … you could do things you’d never dream of today.”
“God bless that era,” McNiff enthused. “It was an era of the unthinkable.”
The man who launched Lesley’s Expressive Therapies program then added, “Norma was an integral figure who brought us all together. She was the maestra!
“Norma taught me how movement is the basis of all forms of expression.”
Associate Professor Nancy Beardall, Lesley’s Dance/Movement Therapy coordinator and emcee of the evening, introduced visiting scholar Dr. Meg Chang, who called Canner one of the “founding mothers” of the specialization.
Other speakers included Dr. Vivien Marcow Speiser who spoke about her history of teaching and traveling with Norma to Israel, where Vivien launched Lesley’s Israeli Expressive Therapies program.
Elizabeth McKim, a former Lesley faculty member, jazz poet and spoken word artist, recited an embodied and rhythmic reading of a series of poems dedicated to Norma. The poetry is in McKim’s book, “The Red Thread.”
Following McKim, Anne Brownell, director of the Norma G. Canner Foundation for Voice Movement Therapy, spoke of her time with Canner personally and professionally, and the influence Norma had in her pursuing her own therapy specialization.
Then it was time to get moving. Faculty members Valerie Blanc and Shira Karman performed a dance choreographed by Beardall for Canner on the occasion of her receiving the American Dance Therapy Association’s (ADTA) Outstanding Achievement Award in 2001.
A closing dance and drum circle was led by Jennifer Wiles and accompanied by Dr. Mitchell Kossak and students on drums. Both Kossak and Wiles were students and former colleagues of Canner. Guests danced in and out of the circle, prompting Beardall to muse, later, “The joy and warmth of the moment was felt by all. Norma would have loved it.”
Beardall adds: “Norma’s legacy of creativity, discovery, community and inclusion are felt and passed on. The spirit of innovation at Lesley has followed her with many initiatives carried on by her students and their students.”

I welcome contributions from anyone and everyone, however, some of the tunes I have had from some people are of such a high calibre that anything not quite up to their standard unfortunately shows up.
When ADRdesign did the music for Where Time Stood Still, he did me a 1:1 ST conversion and then a really kick ass Amiga remix.
ADRdesign has set a bar, Hoffman has also contributed to Starquaks and his effort is well......awesome. Leathered (RIP) did music for WTSS and that was great as well.
Any submissions have to be of the same standard as what has come before, and unfortunately on this occassion, i dont feel that module is right.

ORIGINALLY A product of Britain’s new romantic movement, Depeche Mode became the quintessential electro-pop band of the ‘80s. They were one of the first to establish a musical identity based completely around the use of synthesisers and began as a bouncy, dance-pop outfit. Gradually, they developed a darker, more dramatic sound, positioning them as one of the most successful alternative bands of their era. Today, more than 20 years later, they are still recognised as one of the most successful electro-pop bands ever.
Ironically, given their reputation as the kings of electro-pop, they made their debut as a guitar trio, coming together in Basildon, England, in 1980. Comprised of Vince Clarke, Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore, they took their name from the title of a French style magazine, Depeche Mode (or fast fashion).
Following a series of concerts in London’s Canning Town, Depeche Mode debuted in 1980 with Photographic. The band was spotted by Daniel Miller and was shortly signed to his independent Mute Records label in 1981. Dave Gahan was recruited as their permanent lead vocalist and Dreaming of Me was released the same year. Neither the single nor its follow-up, New Life, caused much of a stir, but their third effort, Just Can’t Get Enough, became a top 10 UK hit and their debut LP, Speak & Spell, was also a success.
Just as they appeared poised for a major commercial breakthrough, principal songwriter, Clarke, left rather abruptly to form Yazoo with singer Alison Moyet, leaving the group’s future in grave doubt. The writing reins were taken over by Martin Gore, and Alan Wilder joined, replacing Clarke.
The gentle, hypnotic ambience of See You was an early demonstration of Gore’s sense of melody and, lyrically, he tackled subjects darker than the musical content suggested. His songs grew more assured and sophisticated by 1983’s Construction Time Again. Some Great Reward, in 1984, was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, with the single People Are People becoming a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic, typifying their turn toward more industrial textures.
Black Celebration in 1986 and Music for the Masses in 1987 helped their commercial success, yet, despite an enormous fan base, they were still considered an underground, cult group. However, with the release of 1990’s Violator, it all changed. As a top 10 smash, spawning the hits Enjoy the Silence (giving the band its first Brit Award), Policy of Truth and Personal Jesus, the album and tour confirmed their popularity within the UK and reinforced it in America. It presented a harder sound, which continued on Songs of Faith and Devotion.
Their success stateside was underscored when they played to 72,000 fans at the Rose Bowl in California, in 1988, and their standing throughout the world continued to be enhanced with ambitious stage shows, despite the fact that acrimony was creeping into the Depeche Mode camp.
Gahan relocated from Essex to Los Angeles, divorced his wife, married his American girlfriend, divorced her and then attempted suicide. His drug dependency reached a peak when he came close to death in 1996, the same year Wilder left the group.
Gahan, and the trio that had become Depeche Mode, bounced back with the album Ultra, surprisingly good considering the fragmentation occurring within the ranks. It’s No Good became the DJ’s favourite, quickly becoming a dance floor hit and, with Barrel of a Gun, they had two of their biggest UK hits. The renaissance continued with Exciter in 2001.
As of 2005, Depeche Mode are estimated to have sold over 70 million albums worldwide and have influenced many of today’s popular recording artists due to their innovative work, recording techniques and use of sampling. By creating disjointed electro-pop, evoking technological and social alienation, as well as their epic orchestrations of heavier electronics, their music has stood the test of time with success on the dance floor and in the music store.
Often called the Godfathers of Electronica, their impact on electronic/alternative music sets them apart. Martin Gore, the musical genius behind the band, is one of the greatest writers of all time, David Gahan has one of the most distinct voices embodying everything that is Depeche Mode, and Andy Fletcher, keyboardist and financial whiz, keeps the band in the public eye. However, for all their success, they have never had a number one single in the US or UK.
Depeche Mode will be performing at Pavilhão Atlântico, Parque das Nações, Lisbon, on February 8, 2006, at 9.30pm. For ticket information call 210 036 300 or visit www.ticketline.pt

Sadly, too many Americans have a problem with this concept. Some are certainly smirking over the irony that the GM-Nissan-Renault deal proposed by GM's largest single shareholder, Kirk Kerkorian, would come to light over the Fourth of July weekend, when flag-waving patriotism is at its peak. A Detroit Free Press columnist sums up how many feel about the deal: "...foreign automakers have steadily chipped away at this lucrative market, selling vehicles while GM was supporting retirees. Now we're supposed to set a place at the table for these folks who have been eating our lunch?"
True, any such deal could take some of the American out of GM. It could cause a power shift that leads to even more cost cuts and more Michigan layoffs and sap some control from GM executives who truly care about the company's roots. But if this deal falls through, please let it be because the risks to the business outweigh the possible benefits. Xenophobia and the desire to be a 100%-true-blooded American company can't be the strategies in this game.
Detroit's automakers have to be smart and innovative about how they're going to survive in the global economy, and not clutch to the ideals of a 20th Century American company. To be truly American is to understand that success isn't possible without risk, innovation, willingness to change, and even some pain. To let fear of change play a role in the failure of a great American company--to become an employer to no one--is one of the most unpatriotic acts I can imagine.

Also known as: piles, internal haemorrhoids, external haemorrhoids
Haemorrhoids, or piles as they are also known, are swellings that are a result of enlarged and distended blood vessels and veins around your anus and rectum.
What are haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in or around your bottom that can cause pain or bleed when you pass stools. You might find you get haemorrhoids if you're regularly constipated, pregnant, or as you get older.
Haemorrhoids can get better with time, and you can reduce your chances of getting haemorrhoids by drinking more water and eating enough fibre each day.
At The London Clinic, our expert team can help treat your haemorrhoids with non-surgical or surgical options.
You can choose from non-surgical haemorrhoids treatments such as medication, banding and injections.
If your haemorrhoids need surgical treatment, we offer Rafaelo, haemorrhoidectomy, stapling or HALO.
By choosing The London Clinic for your haemorrhoid treatment, you’ll have a complete care plan tailored to you, from start to finish.
Our expert teams will work together to give you a seamless, hassle-free experience with any tests, scans and treatments you need all under one roof.

Be in control of your health. Start your haemorrhoids treatment journey with The London Clinic today.
Sometimes haemorrhoids symptoms can be mild, and you won’t even notice you have them. But you might find haemorrhoids affect your day to day life.
You may need haemorrhoids treatment if you have these symptoms:
- Bright red blood when you go to the toilet
- A sore, itchy or swollen anus
- Thick jelly-like mucus after you pass a stool
- Swollen lumps of blood vessels inside or outside your rectum
- Haemorrhoids causes
Many factors can cause haemorrhoids, and you should get advice from a doctor if they don’t go away on their own.
You’re more likely to get haemorrhoids if you:
- Try to push hard or strain when you pass stool or are constipated, especially for a long time
- Avoid the urge to go to the toilet when you need to
- Don’t drink enough water or eat enough fibre each day, from foods like vegetables or whole grains
- Are pregnant
- Are over 50 years old
- Lift heavy objects regularly
- Have someone in your family who has haemorrhoids
You may need treatment if you start to get side effects or complications from having haemorrhoids.
Our haemorrhoids treatment service at The London Clinic can help if you:
- Are experiencing any level of pain from your haemorrhoids
- Find it uncomfortable or hard to sit down, even on soft surfaces
- Are avoiding going to the toilet
- Are bleeding regularly after going to the toilet
- Have seen no improvement after drinking more water and eating more fibre
- Have tried using medication you’ve bought from a pharmacy or otherwise
- Cannot enjoy your life as normal because of your haemorrhoids
Lifestyle changes to treat haemorrhoids
You can make easy and practical lifestyle changes to help treat haemorrhoids such as:
- Making sure you go to the toilet as soon as you feel the urge to go
- Drinking enough water to help with bowel movements
- Eating at least 30g of fibre each day from fresh or dried fruit, vegetables, beans and whole grains
- Waiting after giving birth for haemorrhoids to go away naturally
If these lifestyle changes do not help improve your haemorrhoids, your next step is to try non-surgical or surgical haemorrhoids treatments.
We can guide you through the process of picking a haemorrhoids treatment option that’s right for you at The London Clinic.
- Non-surgical haemorrhoids treatment
- You might not need surgery straight away to treat your haemorrhoids if they are mild.
At The London Clinic, you can try non-surgical haemorrhoids treatments, including:
- Medication, such as creams and suppositories to relieve haemorrhoid pain
- Banding, to cut off blood supply to haemorrhoids and shrink them
- Injections to block the blood supply to haemorrhoids and reduce their size
Surgical haemorrhoids treatment
Surgical haemorrhoids treatment is your next option if your haemorrhoids negatively affect how you live and they’re very painful or uncomfortable.
We offer these surgical haemorrhoids treatments and tailor them to your needs:
- HALO (haemorrhoidal artery ligation operation), also known as THD (transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialisation)
Surgical haemorrhoids treatments require local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, and you can often go home the same day.
We offer a range of first-class treatments for haemorrhoids that can stop you experiencing pain, itching and general discomfort.

MORE than 2,000 jobs have been saved, including scores in the north west, after a New Zealand company bought the high street electrical chain PowerHouse.
Nick Dargan and Neville Kahn, joint administrative receivers at Deloitte & Touche, said the Pacific Retail Group had agreed to take over 142 stores, including those in Manchester, Altrincham and Wigan, and plans to retain the PowerHouse brand.
Ninety branches, including Trafford Park and Chester, were closed by the receivers last Friday, just a week after they were called in.
Mr Dargan said: "We are exceptionally pleased to have sold this business as a going concern, which was our prime objective, and to have preserved over 2,000 jobs.
"Most commentators believed a break-up of the business was the most likely scenario, which would have generated less value for creditors."

The Aheytubiek Port is located in Habahe County, Altay Prefecture. It is 117 kilometers from the county seat, 284 kilometers from Altay and 829 kilometers from Urumqi. Aheybiek's Kazakh counterpart is Alekseyevka Port in Shyghys Qazaqstan Oblast.
In August 1992, the governments of China and Kazakhstan agreed to open the port to people from both countries. It was formally opened in March 1994, although much of it is under construction at the time of this writing. When completed, it will be capable of handling 20,000 tons of goods and 10,000 passengers annually.

The enigma that is Umami is baffling. Some say it is the long-lost 'fifth taste', some say it is merely a dash of fish sauce in your recipe. Either way, it's fascinating.
Food critics tell me that the taste emanates from a Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Brazilian or Vietnamese origin- not particularly specific. However, others say it is more part of 'science' of how we eat, taste and savour our food. It is far more experiential than it is specific. Carefully balancing (and mainly reducing) salt, vinegar and other 'traditional' flavour enhancers allows the Umami taste to reign and be identified by the consumer. It's distinction is very different from the other four tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. You could liken it to being meaty or rich.
Today the Umami craze is growing with chefs competing to extract the trendiness of Umami flavours and pop their discoveries on their menus for big bucks. However, the research and science behind it has been ongoing since the 1970s with many academics studying its art in both cuisine and biology. Heston Blumenthal, one of the UK's most progressive chefs, uses the techniques to make his guests' experience far more sensual and often, surprising at his restaurant The Fat Duck. He's also incorporated the taste into British Airway's plane food to assist in savouring meals at high altitude.
A great example of Umami-savvy food is Japanese, so try a local outlet and without doubt the topic of Umami will be readily and eagerly received. Or perhaps indulge in a more mainstream approach. High street outlets are also jumping on the bandwagon with Umami burgers, kimchi (pickled veg side dishes), sushi and miso-rich chicken dishes.
And FYI, Umami means 'delicious' or 'yummy' in Japanese- definitely a reason to give it a whirl.

Reconstructionism: A Look at Non-Catholic Traditions – Fr. Ray Ryland
In a lecture from the 2008 Deep in History Conference, Fr. Ray Ryland looks at the relationship between separated Eastern Churches and the Catholic Church- what they share in common regarding apostolic succession and the sacraments, as well as what barriers to unity exist among them. He looks at how attempts to repair the relationship between Catholicism and Eastern Christianity can serve as a paradigm for efforts toward apostolic unity with other Christian denominations.

You might not know this, but your Samsung Galaxy smartphone can double as a desktop computer. Introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S8, the DeX docking station is a little device that you plug your phone into, which in turn connects to a full-sized keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Once connected, the Galaxy’s Android operating system converts into a desktop mode, which looks and functions like a standard desktop. Your Android apps can then be used on the big screen, such as full-screen document editor, spreadsheet or even for playing games.
With the launch of the S9, the DeX gets an upgrade too. Now, instead of a cradle, the S9 lies flat with the screen facing outwards. This is because you can now use your screen as a mouse touchpad, rather than connecting to a separate mouse. Also, Galaxy S9 supports a broader selection of ‘wide’ monitor resolutions, to ensure the best viewing experience across the different screens that you might connect to.
Pricing and availability for the DeX are still to be announced.


...Oh, never mind. Here's a recent City press release about a new endeavour on the part of City Hall and Guelph Hydro to develop the solar energy gathering capacity of city sites.
GUELPH, ON, March 1, 2011 – The City is working with Guelph Hydro and its subsidiary Ecotricity to put solar photovoltaic panels on a number of City-owned buildings. During last night’s City Council meeting, the City approved an agreement that defines the terms of Guelph Hydro’s mandate to develop energy projects on City properties.
"Ecotricity already operates the two Megawatt generator at the former Eastview landfill site," says Rob Kerr, the City’s General Manager of Community Energy "Now they’ll have access to our rooftops to generate more clean, renewable energy right here in Guelph."
Together with Guelph Hydro, the City has identified about 50,000 square feet of rooftop space where Ecotricity could install enough solar photovoltaic panels to generate up to 500 kilowatts of electricity. Once the panels are up and operating, Ecotricity would sell the power to the Ontario power grid over the next 20 years under the Ontario Power Authority’s MicroFIT program.
"This licence agreement is just the beginning," adds Kerr. "Together with Guelph Hydro the City of Guelph will continue to seek out more opportunities for energy projects on City-owned properties in order to support the goals of Guelph’s Community Energy Initiative."
About the Community Energy Initiative
Guelph’s Community Energy Initiative is a collective commitment among community members including the City of Guelph, Guelph Hydro, Union Gas, Guelph Chamber of Commerce and the University of Guelph to use less energy in 25 years than we do today; use less energy per capita than comparable Canadian cities; and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions per capita than the current global average.


Compuware (Nasdaq:CPWR) was founded by a group that included Peter Karmanos Jr., majority owner of the Carolina Hurricanes hockey club. Karmanos currently serves as the company’s executive chairman.
The announcement rejecting the offer came after a comprehensive review by Compuware. In addition, the company announced a three-year plan to cut $60 million in costs.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes got their first win of the season Thursday night, beating the Buffalo Sabres 6-3.

Plans for a £46m hospital in Irvine are well under way, with the NHS starting the process to find a partner in the building’s planning.
Businesses are being asked by NHS Ayrshire and Arran to send in expressions of interest for the new hospital which will be funded using the Scottish Government’s Non Profit Distribution Model (NPD).
NHS Ayrshire and Arran are pressing ahead with plans to build the mental and community hospital at the site of the existing Ayrshire Central Hospital.
Jim Crichton, Director of Primary Care and Mental Health Services, said: “This process offers us as a health service, the opportunity to work in partnership with experienced professionals - from a range of disciplines such as architecture, construction and facilities – so that the people of Ayrshire and Arran get the very best facility possible.
“The process will last until approximately the end of 2013. At this point we will ask for final tenders and will be in a position to appoint the preferred company early in 2014.
“We would hope that construction would start shortly after this – with the hospital being completed in early 2016.”
Initial outlines for the site say that the hospital will provide 206 beds for people who need a level of care and rehabilitation that can only be provided by a stay in hospital.
The hospital is also reported to have an energy centre plus installation and the commissioning of mechanical and electrical engineering installations.


The number of vehicles on the roads increases every day. And everyone drives in their own way – slow, fast, aggressive and so on. Some travel the same route daily while some are driving roads they’ve never been on before. Vehicles may be more comfortable and have more safety features than in the past, but they get stuck in unavoidable situations such as traffic jams during rush hours and more rarely in collisions.
One of the reasons collisions occur is tailgating. Accidents can occur if the distance between two vehicles is not sufficient for the following car to stop safely if the driver in the first car slams on the brakes. The stopping distance of a car largely depends upon the reaction time of the driver and the breaking distance.
Collisions can be avoided if vehicles maintain a safe distance, which is possible if they accelerate and decelerate together. To achieve this, the following driver must continuously monitor and adjust their speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front.
Now, imagine a world where many vehicles can talk to each other and work together to maintain safe distances between them. The vehicles brake, accelerate and decelerate in unison with no time lag. This capability is called vehicle platooning.
Vehicle platooning refers to a group of digitally connected vehicles that travel very close together so that they appear to move like a train. Vehicles dynamically join and leave a platoon. Vehicles in a platoon share data such as speed, breaking intentions and acceleration. It helps in reducing the safe-distance between vehicles and improves overall fuel consumption.
Another problem that connectivity can improve is traffic congestion. Traffic jams are typically caused by a large number of vehicles following the same route at the same time resulting in congestion of some roads while others nearby remain uncrowded.
This imbalance can be avoided by autonomous vehicles sharing their schedules and destination information with a centralized entity residing in the cloud. The entity can optimize route that each vehicle takes to minimize traffic congestion and reduce overall fuel consumption. Depending on the level of automation (LoA) of the vehicles, they can either be controlled by the driver in the car, remotely by human operators or by the autonomous vehicle itself. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. The Five Levels of Automation (LoA)
The higher the LoA, the more stringent the performance requirements of the inter-vehicle communications need to be. For example, for fully automated vehicles, the maximum end-to-end latency could be reduced to 3 milliseconds (ms), with the reliability of 99.99 %. The figures would be more relaxed for lower LoAs.
Widely deployed LTE-based networks provide the opportunity for the automobile industry to realize the concept of connected cars, also called vehicle-to-everything (V2X). (See Figure 2.) Entities within the V2X network collect and communicate data within their local environments, such as information received from vehicles or sensors that they process and share.
Figure 2. The Four Elements of V2X Communications
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P),
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) such as Road Side Units (RSUs), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N)
Figure 3 provides a schematic of the V2X deployment with 3GPP network infrastructure. Presently, the 3GPP network can be LTE for V2X applications, but 5G (New Radio) is required for higher performance applications such as vehicle platooning and fully autonomous driving due to 5G’s ability to deliver very low latency and high throughput. The V2X Control Function in Figure 3 is a logical function that is used to provide the vehicle with the parameters necessary for V2X communications. The V2X Application Server is used to exchange the UL/DL Data from/to the UE in the vehicle.
Figure 3. The Simplified V2X Architecture
LTE provides support for V2X applications by defining additional QoS (QCI 75, 79) parameters. The UE—a vehicle in our case—communicates the V2X capability to 3GPP network based on the V2X services that are authorized. Based on its subscription, the bit rate requirements are communicated to the eNB that manages the resources. The V2X capabilities are also communicated during the handover procedure to the target eNB, which helps the target eNB preform the resource management and admission control.
Some vehicles are equipped with modules supporting only LTE while others may be equipped with modules supporting 5G. If a vehicle on NR cannot communicate with a vehicle supporting LTE, the vehicle supporting LTE can be regarded as another vehicle with no V2X capability. For the vehicle supporting both 5G and LTE, the handover will happen when the vehicles move out of 5G coverage as depicted Figure 4.
Figure 4. Vehicle Mobility from 5G to LTE
3GPP 5G NR specifications are maturing, the NSA (Non- Standalone) mode is already released few months back (Rel-15). As per 3GPP, the SA (Standalone) mode i.e. Rel-16 (3GPP phase 2) is expected to be completed in Dec-2019.
With the SA mode features like eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), uRLLC (ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications) and mMTC (massive Machine Type Communications), the vehicles will be able to exchange high throughput information, more reliably and seamlessly. The enhanced V2X services using 5G NR may start getting deployed and commercially available from 2020 onwards.


LAHORE, May 14: The Lahore High Court on Thursday issued a suo motu notice regarding the alleged gang-rape of a schoolgirl at the hands of four influential landlords in Mauza Talvandi, as well as the rape of another woman in Mauza Guga Sarai by Sardar Abdul Ghani.
The chief justice directed the SP and the SHO concerned to appear before the court on May 19 along with the crime record.
According to a news item, landlords Sardar Munir, Chaudhry Ashraf, Chaudhry Imran and Chaudhry Irfran raped an FA student on the premises of the Government High School and when she lost consciousness had her admitted at DHQ Hospital.
In a separate incident mentioned in the same news item, a landlord allegedly barged in the house of a newly-wed woman in Mauza Guga Sarai and raped her.
The chief justice issued another suo motu notice on Thursday regarding alleged prostitution by women police officials under the supervision of high ranking senior police officers as reported in a newspaper.
He directed the SSP (Operations) to appear before the court on May 18 so that he could know the facts of the case.
The Advocate General of Punjab has been directed to assist in both matters.
REQUEST GRANTED: The LHC while hearing a petition against imposition of daylight savings time and loadshedding granted a request to have the Secretary Cabinet Division made a respondent in the case.
Justice Mian Saqib Nisar also issued a notice to the Secretary Cabinet Division for next date of hearing, on May 22.
The petition, filed by Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi, prays for the forwarding of clocks on April 15 to be declared illegal and without any constitutional authority.
In response, the Pepco has informed the court that by advancing the clock for one hour the government is saving 200 to 250 megawatts of electricity per day.

Last Thursday, a group of peps was traveling back from the wake of George Hizon’s mother when Larry Ramos informed them via a text message that another classmate, Salvador Ignacio, had passed away. Disbelief greeted the shocking news, for no one in the class was aware of any health issue Buddy was having. In fact, we had hardly heard from him since our class reunion in 1988 in Batangas. All we knew was that he had been working in Bahrain for years and would spend his vacation in the Philippines every now and then.
Then came the news of his sudden death.
Larry has been in touch with Buddy’s daughter Celestine (in photo above), who said that lymphoma was the cause of his father’s death. She also shared that Buddy’s remains might be brought home next week and that the wake would be in Calamba, Laguna. She ended her message with the hope of seeing all his dad’s classmates.
Our condolences to Buddy’s family, especially to wife Pilar Pabustan. We will include you all in our prayers.
Rest in peace, Buddy, and we’re sure you fought the good fight.

Heritage set to take all
Application of Heritage offers a long lasting prevention and early cure of turf disease, and efficacy is further enhanced by the product's systemic mobility within the grass plant. Heritage is absorbed through leaf blade, crown, root and stem, and moves throughout the plant, via the xylem vessels, to provide total protection. The product will even move into fresh blade growth as it develops, and has a translaminar movement through the leaf blades.
Regular mowing of sports and amenity turf poses less of a threat to the control offered by Heritage compared with conventional products, as the active ingredient lost as sap through the cut blade can be reabsorbed again through the roots.
This 'recyclable' characteristic, combined with the high performance of the product, means that Heritage has one of the lowest use-rate ranges on the turfgrass market - vital in today's environmentally aware industry. In addition, the low hazard rating to birds, beneficial insects, non-target organisms, and the operator makes Heritage an ideal choice for Integrated Pest Management Programmes.

CUP PROFILE: Balanced
This coffee offers moderate levels of sweetness and acidity, leading to a rounded cup with mildly fruitful and pleasantly rich tasting notes.
In The Cup:
This washed processed lot from Colombia, Huila yields a balanced cup with a cocoa and citrus aroma with a silky mouthfeel; anticipate notes of Vanilla, Pear, and Toffee.
From the South of Huila, in the municipality called Timana, we bring you this wonderful coffee that we have partnered up with from the Producers of El Vergel. El Vergel has been a staple for us at Rothrock for 3 straight years running. Its also been one of the staff favorite coffee releases we have put out to date.
This new coffee called Timana made up from 4 coffee growers in this beautiful region. Where the Timana town seems to be taken from a fairy tale. For this occasion, El Vergel had the opportunity to work with 5 coffee growers, Duver Samboni, Mercedes Rojas, Reinel Perdomo, and Don Ovidio Ascencio, With whom they developed a process with a 24 hour fermentation and drying in the sun, gathering all the batches, to obtain a homogeneous cup and highlight the sweetness of this origin.
We hope to make this is yearly staple as well to complement our other yearly fresh harvest from El Vergel.


This is the very definiton of chaos.
On their overwhelmingly chaotic debut LP, Sectioned pulls together a dissonant and psychotic mixture of intensive hardcore, savage mathcore, tech-metal, harsh noise and even some experimental flashes to make for one of the most insane yet crucial heavy albums of 2018.
Now, if you've never heard of Sectioned before, then let me lay some context down for ya.
The bat-shit nature of 'Annihilated’ and it's crazed 13 tracks were captured and recorded by guitarist/bandleader Pedram Valiani, who also mixed this absolutely wild full-length as well. Mastered by Brad Boatright over at Audiosiege, the Scottish outfit's debut album marks their first release in four years, the first since the band's 2014's split with noise-rock purveyors, Shudder. This is also their latest effort featuring newish lyricist/vocalist/talented tattoo artist, Jamie Christ, who fits this new record's decrepit theme of inner-conflict and its monstrous sonics perfectly; nailing his role with utterly vicious screaming and some really pained vocal deliveries. (For instance, that voice-breaking scream of "every day is all the same" on 'Toothgrinder' is some really confronting shit).
While the band's former vocalist Murray Nicol was a fine enough frontman for past releases like 2012's ‘Monotone’ and 2013's ‘Outlier’ EP, he wouldn’t quite fit in as well now with Sectioned becoming even heavier and more complex over the years. Plus, Nicol kinda sounded like what I’d imagine Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants would sound like if he fronted a hardcore band. So there's that too...
Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter
Anywho! Musically speaking, these five Edinburgh madmen are born and bred from the very best that hardcore, mathcore and extreme music has had to offer the world over the past two or so decades; taking controlled mayhem and skirting over multiple heavy genres to create something spectacular.
Ergo, Sectioned brandishes the same blood-pumping rawness and face-melting aggressiveness that Converge harness so beautifully well. They've struck hard upon that angular, older metalcore sound that made bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan such integral listening. They seemingly follow a similar schizophrenic, wall-of-sound approach to songwriting that experimental-hardcore bands like The Armed adhere to (just with fewer synths, less clean singing and rarer melodic moments). They’ve got the abrasive quality, sheer heaviness and deformed riffs of groups like Meshuggah all squared up, but they execute them all at a much faster rate. And you can bet that this U.K. five-piece have a solid knack for discordance, skin-crawling feedback and the violent unpredictability that The Chariot once effectively utilised so damn well.
Though perhaps most importantly, this band also have the densely-packed sound, rhythmic mind-fuckery, hectic pinches, whammy squeals and the jagged guitars of The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza and fellow Scotsmen, the mighty Frontierer, all down pat. The latter being a band that these guys will no doubt receive the strongest comparisons to due to sharing the same geographical location, a very similar overall sound and the fact that guitarist Pedram Valiani is the mastermind behind both Frontierer and Sectioned. (Hey, the more you know).
[caption id="attachment_1102137" align="aligncenter" width="760"] Sectioned, 2018. You came to the wrong neighbourhood, motherfucker. [/caption]
Sectioned's music isn't anything that new as far as hardcore, mathcore or extreme music goes these days; just by the sheer admission of the band's mentioned above that share their genre space and the other acts that seemingly influence and inspire Sectioned's music. However, the band have nonetheless crafted something highly impressive and inarguably captivating with their wicked full-length; an album that pushes itself to the very brink and then has the actual balls to say, "nah, that's just not far enough for me, lads".
Relentless tempos surge throughout, off-kilter time signatures pave the way to madness, filthy guitar riffs bend and scream out in pain, pedal-affected guitar runs boil quickly like explosives set to detonate, head-caving low-end broods underneath, and blistering, careening drums dominate the record. All in a display of musical chaos that I can only describe as instrument abuse. In fact, most of the time, the various vocal and instrumental lines of these 13 compositions feel like they're all trying to constantly out-run one another or out-do each other in terms of heaviness and destructive power. And the result is one of crippling tension that underpins the entire record. Yet that's what makes the overly hostile 'Annihilated’ brilliant: Sectioned's proficiency for chest-crushing chaos and unrelenting brutality that's thoroughly detailed and meticulously planned.
Though, truth be told, it would have been too much to create a record compiled of only those such confronting elements. Thankfully, this off-the-wall LP comes with a few sheltering respites from the harrowing storm raging on outside. Well-placed melodious moments - like the eerier guitars that hang in the air during the second half of 'Synchronicity', the softer melodic guitar section that takes 'Victorious, Neverending' on home, and the solemn piano outro that winds down the final two minutes of 'Through The Trees' - all offer real breathing room. They also provide what I feel are some sorely required sense of dynamics; which is my only real criticism against 'Annihilated'.
So too does Sectioned's experimental flairs throughout these 13 tracks. Such as the closing drum 'n' bass section on 'Starved Lives'; the chirping guitar feedback that draws 'Beautiful Struggle' to a close; or the messy mash-up of amp feedback, pained and hard to make out screams, glitchy IDM and electronic percussion that wraps up 'Portrait'. These moments further help to prevent anymore listening fatigue from settling in, because while I've fallen head over heels with this record, it can sometimes border on being just a little too much.
Amidst my earlier aptly drawn parallels between those bands that have more than likely helped shape and cultivate the sonic carnage that Sectioned wield on 'Annihilated’, there's a real method to their inhuman madness. It's how each of these songs ebb and flow together exceptionally well, moving around a core idea - whether a riff, a certain groove, the song's meter, or a particular phrase - to create something engaging, despite the many disparate moving parts of the band's indeed violent-as-fuck music.
After all, it's easy to thrash and bash your instruments around as loud and as fast as one can, but I think it's much more difficult to do that and still create something that works in tandem to create a true cohesive force. And that's what Sectioned accomplish so fucking well with a debut full-length void of filler.
To quote my peer KYS writer, Owen Morawitz, songs like the head-bobbing 'Life's True Beauty', the down-tuned 'Eigengrau', closer 'Through The Trees' and the album's ludicrous title track feel and sound like a fucking sledgehammer to the temple. And he ain't wrong about that feeling of blunt force trauma. Other killer tracks such as the war-like 'Betrayer', 'Release', the downtrodden 'Bête Noire' and the explosive opening section of 'Portrait' achieve similar results but do so via their no-holds-barred usage of breakneck speeds, quick-firing dissonant guitars, raving screams, and surgical instrumental precision that cuts all the way down to the bone.
'Annihilated' is like the first time you heard ‘Jane Doe’ and were left completely bewildered. 'Annihilated' is like how you had to lift your jaw off the floor after hearing ‘Orange Mathematics’. 'Annihilated' is like the first time you put on ‘Calculating Infinity’ and had to listen to it multiple times just to work out what the actual fuck was happening. 'Annihilated' is like the first time you discovered The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza and had your mind blown. 'Annihilated' is, simply put, fantastic: a debut LP that places Sectioned right on the extreme music map for all to see.
2. Beautiful Struggle
3. Starved Lives
8. Bête Noire
9. Victorious, Neverending
12. Life's True Beauty
13. Through The Trees
'Annihilated' is out now, stream it below if you know what's good for you. Also, just to make this record even cooler, it features additional performances from The Armed's Tony Wolski (‘Portrait’), and drummer Niall MacRae from uplifting Glasgow instrumental progressive rock outfit, Vasa (‘Toothgrinder’). Nice!

text: As I am writing this, we are watching our “granddog”, Cali. She has her head on my leg as I work on the computer. There hasn't been a dog in our house for quite a few years, but previous to that I could count on one hand the number of years I've lived without a dog. When one gets older and the children have moved out, it is nice to be only responsible for yourself. No rushing home to walk the dog or let the dog out or feed the dog. No dog hair on the carpet, no tripping over tennis balls in the kitchen. There are many reasons to enjoy the freedom of not having a dog. So why do we do it? After spending a few hours with this pooch I think I have some of the answers. Never have I been greeted with as much enthusiasm as this dog gives me. I just went outside to hang clothes on the line and am greeted on my return as if I was gone for months. How could anyone not love an animal that is so absolutely crazy about just seeing you? This dog just likes to be in the same room with you. The first days, she followed me everywhere. From the sink to the stove, there she was, from refrigerator to table, there she was. I've never felt so important to anyone like this. She seems to enjoy just being in our presence, what a compliment. I can once again understand the joy of dog ownership, even with all the responsibilities. Of course Cali will have to go back to her own home next week, and our home will once again be without water dishes, tennis balls on the floor and dog hair on the carpet. It will be very nice and neat, but I will miss my pooch and all her love and attention.

Are you hoping to rely on your guidebook from 2012 and your clear-as-yesterday memory of this city’s transportation system to get you around during the Rio Olympics? Forget it. A lot has changed here. With an estimated 480,000 visitors, 15,000 athletes, 45,000 volunteers, 93,000 staff arriving for the Rio Olympics and Paralympic games and the 6.45 million locals trying to get around in August and September, Rio has to find transportation solutions for them all. The city has responded to these needs in many ways, and the largest of them, not surprisingly, occur in or between the four Olympic zones. These zones correlate roughly to the four corners of the city: Maracanã to the Northeast, Copacabana to the Southeast, Barra da Tijuca to the Southwest, and Deodoro to the Northwest.
Here is a summary and a few tricks to navigating the Rio Olympics and the big transportation projects the city is undertaking to prepare for this incredible influx of people.
Perhaps the largest infrastructure change prompted by the Rio Olympics is happening within the Maracanã zone, which covers the oldest part of the city, Centro. Just north of Centro is the port zone which, despite its rich Afrobrazilian history, was something of an industrial wasteland. It was here where millions of slaves were brought into Rio and consequently, it was here where samba was said to be born. It is also where the cruise ships dock, so the city finally decided to do an urban renewal project. It is a controversial and challenging project on many levels, due to the historical significance, the many stakeholders, the timeline, and the sheer complexity of the work. We offer a fantastic up-close study of the port zone on our Porto Maravilha Tour, but in summary, the renewal began in 2012 with the demolition of a double-decker highway that now gives way for bike lanes, a pedestrian greenway and a light rail system, the VLT. The old highway now runs underground through a 1.5 km long tunnel named “Túnel Rio 450” for the city’s 450 year anniversary celebrated in 2015. The VLT has just begun to run in selected areas, but most importantly it connects the regional bus station Rodoviário Novo Rio to the domestic airport Santos Dumont. This is the best way to get to “Parada dos Museus,” where the Museum of Tomorrow and an Olympic Live Site is, so there will be many events here during the Rio Olympics. You would take the Metro to Cinelândia (another historic square, covered in our Founding Rio walk), and transfer there to the VLT. In this initial test phase, entrance is R$3.80 and runs Monday to Friday from 8am-5pm.
Another massive undertaking was an extension of the Metro, called “Linha 4,” or Line 4. It’s a desirable project because it finally gives Rio’s wealthier areas a reliable public transport option (yes, there are buses, but we’ll get to that in a minute). Previously, the Metro’s terminal station was in General Osorio Square, on the eastern edge of Ipanema. In order to reach western Ipanema or the beaches beyond – Leblon and Barra da Tijuca – you had to either catch a cab or bus, or take a long, long beach stroll. Line 4 is a stretch of five stops, and is just this week opening for testing. During the Rio Olympics, it will serve only limited people with special access, either ticket holders or staff with credentials.
Bus Rapid Transit
A third Olympic-centered infrastructure change is an extension of the bus rapid transit system, the BRT. This system serves mainly the working population who live far outside the areas along the coast. Here in Brazil we call it “the interior.” For the first time, however, the BRT created a “Transolímpica” which will run directly from the interior to Barra da Tijuca, a chic neighborhood with vacation homes, towering condominiums, an endangered mangrove wetland, and a beautiful stretch of white sand beaches. For some, this is a project long-time coming, cutting commute times down 78%, and for others it is sure to be the ruin of the neighborhood. No matter which side of the coin the local resident falls on, the tourist is sure to find this extension a blessing since it connects the Olympic park in Barra to the Radical Park in Deodoro, the two largest venues during the Rio Olympics.
So far, we’ve mentioned three public transportation options, but fear not, there are still the buses, the train, and the ferry. All of these systems operating independently yet simultaneously have created a tourist navigational nightmare, since all of them cost different amounts, require different passes, and use different maps, signage and hours of operation (all in Portuguese, mind you). However, now for the first -and perhaps only- time, you can buy a Rio2016 games card, which unites all of these systems into a single pass. The pass costs R$25 for a day pass, R$70 for three days, and R$160 for seven days. There are also convenient, bi-lingual pocket-sized maps available for free at any city information booth.
The buses, so what about the buses? You look on any city map, and there is no trace of them, yet you stand on the road and you scarcely see anything else. The short answer is, they are for the locals. It’s not that they’re bad or dangerous (they’re actually a thrill if you like roller coasters), it’s that they are victim to a system that tries to cater to multi-millions of people where each one is trying to get to a unique place without ever needing to transfer. The result is hundreds of bus lines, many of them going almost the same place, but not the same enough to just take any bus going west, for example. It gets even more complicated when you add the private bus lines, many operating nearly the same route, but with express options or hours. The city recently tried to simplify things by terminating several similar lines and creating a new numbering system called “Troncal.” But the jury is still out on whether this actually helped or added to the confusion. It has many bus drivers asking passengers for directions, and Google Maps has yet to catch up, so it’s probably the least tourist friendly transport option. Plus, during the Olympics you are best staying off all transportation that does not have a dedicated track, lane or rail to escape road traffic.
And finally, there is the beloved Santa Teresa Bondinho. There isn’t time in this blog to tell the full story of this cute yellow tram (for that, you should join our Santa Teresa neighborhood tour & bondinho ride), but suffice to say that after four grueling years of grassroots neighborhood effort, the tram is partially running again. Sure, there is still over 60% of tracks to lay, but the most important section that takes you up the hill began test runs in July of 2015. The point of departure is tucked away on a small street in Centro, Rua Célio Gama, at the base of the infamous Petrobras oil company’s world headquarters building. The train takes 32 passengers every 20 or 30 minutes on a pleasant 10-minute journey over the legendary Lapa Arches and winds its way through the quaint side streets of Santa Teresa before terminating its journey just two stops later at the neighborhood’s main plaza Largo de Guimarães. It is currently free to ride and runs Monday to Saturday from 11am to 4pm, but show up well before it closes to guarantee a seat, since most everyone here for the Rio Olympics will also want a ride.
These new transportation options are sure to effect Rio’s look and feel in a big way. Populations will move along the path of least resistance, and now more than ever there are news ways of moving through the city. At a time when there seems to be not enough good news about Brazil, these efforts to connect distant areas of the city might, eventually, prove to be it’s salvation.
Happy Rio Olympics 2016 to all!


Does anyone know which wirless interface modes are available on Linksys WRT1900AC v2 under OpenWRT ? I'm looking especialy for monitor mode support.
It has Marvell 88W8864 chip for AC and 88W8864 for b/g/n. I can't find out if these WLAN chips support this mode.
Or if you know if the any router from Linksys WRT AC routers familly support this mode, then let me know.
iw phy0 info
I think monitor mode is working.
I don't own this router yet so I can't check. If you own it chould you check it for me please?
I’m considering pruchase if monitor mode is available on both radios.
Listed as supported (this is a mamba):
Supported interface modes:
* mesh point
but working is another question, if you read the mwlwifi issues the author closed the ones around monitor, but people still seem to indicate that it is borked.

Wrightbus owner hopes to meet Greens leader Ryan about zero-emissions plan
Jo Bamford wants to discuss all-island green transport solution with new minister
Jo Bamford, the owner of Wrightbus, is seeking to meet new Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan to discuss a zero-emissions transport plan for the island of Ireland, he told the Business Post.
Bamford is the son of Anthony Bamford, the billionaire JCB industrialist. He bought Wrightbus, a major employer in the North, late last year after it collapsed into administration.
Prior to Covid-19, Wrightbus had worked up to having more than 600 people employed again,...

Hold onto your Easter eggs!
Easter Monday is off to a windy start as Environment Canada issues wind warnings for various parts of Vancouver Island, including Greater Victoria.
A morning alert states that strong southeast winds of 70 km/h gusting to 90 at times will prevail along coastal regions near Haro Strait, prompting risks of tree limb breakage and power outages.
Similar wind warnings are also in effect for East Vancouver Island in cities like Nanaimo, Courtenay and Campbell River, as well as West Vancouver Island. Only to the west, winds up to 100 km/h are expected.
And while winds should ease around noon today, adverse weather is making things difficult for travellers going to and from Vancouver Island.
BC Ferries cancelled a handful of sailings this morning, including the 6:15 am and 8:25 am departing Departure Bay, and the 6:15 am and 8:25 am leaving Horseshoe Bay.
#ServiceNotice #HoreshoeBay – #DepartureBay #QueenofOakBay #QueenofCowichan will have cancelled sailings today, due to adverse weather

In a statement, BC Ferries said its staff would contact affected customers to let them know if space was available to fit them on alternative sailings or if their booking must be cancelled.
Either way, the organization said reservations would be automatically refunded to those whose sailings were affected as it urges ferry-goers to check its Service Notices page for route statuses.
Last week, BC Ferries told customers to brace for a heavy long weekend of travel.
“The most popular times for travel are expected to be Thursday evening, Friday morning and Monday afternoon,” it said Wednesday.
“Customers with a booking should plan to arrive 45-60 minutes before their sailing. Customers walking on board should plan to arrive 45 minutes before their sailing.”
Monday morning weather cancellations come as crew shortages continue to plague BC Ferries, prompting a warning to customers to expect delays and altered sailing schedules into the peak summer season.
In March, the organization found vaccination policies, troubles recruiting international candidates, and a shortage of professional mariners were fueling its hiring challenges.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season 7, episode 3 'The Queen's Justice', which aired in the US last night.
Now that we have just about stopped happily humming the Game of Thrones intro music after a frankly fantastic episode of action, suspense and raw emotion, we can just about come back down to earth and think properly about what we just witnessed.
Absolutely loads of big goings-on went off in tonight's Game of Thrones showing, and Digital Spy were on hand to round up some of the highlights of people's reactions to what they were seeing.
So dive in to get a spoilerific flavour of what went on, through the medium of tweets.
The episode kicked off with the meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen – a tense exchange in which the Mother of Dragons demanded that the King of the North would bend his knee before her.
Of course, Jon wasn't having any of it, and was more keen to explain the dangers of the undead...
A little later on Cersei had a pow-wow with none other Mark Gatiss, who so many people recognise as Mycroft from Sherlock Holmes:
Emotional scenes played out at Sansa was reunited with Bran – but things got a little weird as Bran attempted to explain that he was the Three-Eyed Raven:
Samwell was top of the class after he helped to heal Ser Jorah – but all he did was read instructions:
And after all the night's action, the stand-out scene was Olenna accepting poison from Jaime Lannister – before checking out by admitting it was her behind Joffrey's death:
Game of Thrones airs on HBO in the US and was simulcast on Sky Atlantic. Sky Atlantic will re-air the show for fans in the UK at 9pm tonight (July 31).
