Aprilia might soon be launching the SR 150 in a variety of new colours. We only say this because a spyshot was taken, perhaps at a Piaggio dealership or a stockyard, where the Aprilia SR 150 was spotted in new colours of metallic light blue, metallic dark blue, metallic and an olive green colour of sorts. That's four new colours! Till now, the Aprilia SR 150 was offered only in matte black and glossy white. Of course, there is also the Aprilia SR 150 Race, which gets the company's official race livery and does look quite sporty too. The dual-tone seat will be offered on all the new colour options as well.
The SR 150 was launched in India in 2016 and since then got good reception amongst auto journalists and buyers alike. It is the most powerful mass-market scooter and Aprilia will not be tinkering with the engine when it launches the scooter with new colours in the market. The scooter gets a 154.4 cc motor and 10.35 bhp at 6,750 rpm and 11.4 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a CVT unit. The SR 150 is the only mass-market scooter in India, which gets 14-inch wheels. The front wheel gets a 220 mm disc brake while the rear gets a 140 mm drum brake.
The current selling price of the Aprilia SR 150 is ₹ 68,606 and since there is just a change in the colour scheme, we do not expect a steep hike in the price. Probably, Aprilia will offer the SR 150 in new colours at the same price as now. There has been no announcement from Aprilia India about the launch of the SR 150 with new colours as of now, but we expect it will be made soon. Keep checking our website for the latest updates.

WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is implementing the Denver Metroplex project on March 26, 2020.
The comprehensive project will use cutting-edge satellite navigation to move air traffic more safely and efficiently through the Denver area. Its 29 new satellite-based routes and 15 existing/modified routes will allow for more direct and efficient routing of aircraft into and out of Denver International and surrounding airports.
The FAA hosted public workshops in 2017 in the greater Denver metropolitan area to provide the public with a better understanding of the preliminary flight procedure designs for the Denver Metroplex Project, and to obtain public comments. After releasing the Draft Environmental Assessment in April 2019, the FAA held additional workshops and a 45-day public comment period. In total, the FAA hosted 24 public workshops and conducted 78 briefings for community groups, airport officials and local, state, and federal officials. The FAA also evaluated and responded to 1,841 public comments.
After the FAA implements the new procedures, some flight track dispersion will continue to occur as it does today. In addition, air traffic controllers will continue to sometimes vector aircraft for safety or efficiency reasons or to reroute them around weather systems.
The FAA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact/Record of Decision for the Denver Metroplex project on January 24, 2020.
as not just another general aviation airport, but as a valued business partner, and we are pleased to see the results of this effort in this year’s Airport Economic Impact Report.”

A Time of Gifts: On Foot to Constantinople - From the Hook of Holland to the Middle Danube
The best travel book ever written.
Patrick Leigh Fermor at the age of 18 inspired by the classical education that he'd gathered piecemeal from various establishments before slung out decided to walk the length of Europe. From Holland to Constantinople. Its split into three books -- two of which have been published -- he's now 93 and working on the final volume. As this was in 1933 months after Hitler had come into power the books are as much a journey into a turbulent time as much as a place. He has been criticized for his lack of awareness on the rise of Nazism but truth be told he as is all to evident in his books - a neophyte, a wandering scholar at home in barn and schloss, depending on the kindness of strangers whoever they may be -- and quite the disparate group they are. Grafin and gooseherd. He discribes a disappeared world elthough he might recognise some of the little villages that Kurt and I visited in Northern Romania and the inhabitants thereof. His occasional patch of purple prose while describing a monastery or a cathedral is a delight, conveying the youngsters enthusiasm and ability to lose himself in his surroundings both physical and emotional are wonderful.

The Poppy Seeds
This is only a Level 3 book, but it held my interest as an adult, and I loved it! The official description reads, “In Pablo’s small Mexican village, the only source of fresh water is jealously guarded by a bitter old man. His high walls keep out everyone—except Pablo, who bravely goes there one day to plant some poppy seeds. The flowers that bloom beside his stream bring beauty to the old man, and the precious gift of water to the village.” The story is engaging and the messages are beautiful. I listened to the Audible version and thought it was well done.

Spring rolls, hot and sour soup, fried rice, and ginger chicken – for many Jewish families in Canada and the U.S., these are the some of the classic Chinese restaurant dishes they’ll share with friends and family on Christmas Day.
There’s a longstanding tradition of Jewish families in Canada and the U.S. going out to eat Chinese food on Dec. 25.
The custom dates back to at least 1935, when the New York Times mentioned a Chinese restaurant owner bringing chow mein to a New Jersey Jewish children’s home on Christmas Day.
The custom is now so well-known it’s been studied, parodied, and was once even referenced by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan during her 2010 nomination hearing.
Here’s a closer look at how the tradition started.
A matter of convenience
When Jewish and Chinese immigrants first started arriving in Canada and the U.S., they didn’t observe Dec. 25 as a holiday.
This meant Jewish families were typically free on the Christmas Day holiday, and Chinese restaurants were open too, says historian and food writer Lara Rabinovitch.
“It’s not a new trend, of Jewish immigrants and later their children, and then their children’s children eating at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day,” Rabinovitch told CTVNews.ca in a FaceTime interview from Toronto.
Canadian chef and renowned cookbook author Rose Reisman remembers her parents taking her to eat in Toronto’s Chinatown on Sundays and on major Christian holidays.
“When these Christian holidays came, stores weren’t open, and (my parents) didn’t want to cook at home. So Chinese food restaurants were the only ones open at this time, and that became the culture,” she said.
Parallel immigration patterns
A similar immigration history of the Jewish and Chinese communities in North America also likely had a hand in forming this custom, says Rabinovitch.
Large waves of Jewish and Chinese immigrants started arriving in Canada and the U.S. during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with many settling in large urban centres, such as New York City and Toronto.
As new immigrants in these growing cities, they often ended up living in close proximity, says Rabinovitch.
Reisman remembers her parents telling her about the discrimination they faced when they first came to Canada from Eastern Europe, much of it aggressive in nature.
“When they came to this country they were foreigners. There was a Christian philosophy and mentality in this country, and they didn’t feel like they fit in,” Reisman said.
“Apparently, that was very common with the Chinese as well.”

Rabinovitch says this physical closeness ultimately led to these two immigrant groups interacting with each other.
“Where Chinese restaurants developed and thrived, Jewish communities also developed and thrived,” she said. “So there was an almost natural fusion, you could say, of the two groups in a social kind of way.”
Indeed, notes Rabinovitch, eating at a Chinese restaurant might have been one of the first ways Jewish immigrants had close contact with Chinese immigrants.
“These immigrant groups were really living and breathing on top of each other in places like downtown Toronto, where present-day Spadina (Avenue) and Kensington Market are,” she said.
“These were also neighbourhoods where some of the earliest Chinese restaurants were, and where early factories where Jewish workers worked as well. So this is maybe where the tradition was born.”
In New York City in the early 20th century, Jewish and Chinese immigrants also lived in neighbouring communities, mostly inhabiting Manhattan’s Lower East Side and Chinatown.

Similar but different
But not everyone agrees with that theory, Rabinovitch says.
“There’s an opposite end to this theory, that maybe it’s that opposites attract,” she said. “So maybe it’s not so much the similarities that bring Chinese and Jews together, but maybe it’s the opposites.”
A tension between the familiar and the “exotic” also underlies the respective cuisines, Rabinovitch argues.
There are some common threads in Ashkenazi-Jewish and Chinese food, for example, including their common use of garlic and onions for seasoning. As well, Chinese food typically lacks dairy, and Jews who keep kosher must separate meat and dairy ingredients, says Rabinovitch.
There are also dishes that loosely resemble each other, including dumplings (wontons and kreplach) and root pancakes (turnip and latkes).
But the cuisines are also markedly different. For example, Chinese food tends to include a lot of pork and shellfish – both of which are prohibited for Jews who keep kosher.
And yet, for many Jewish-Canadians, a Chinese restaurant was one of the few places dietary rules would be relaxed, says Toronto-based chef and restaurateur Anthony Rose.
“We grew up in a kosher house, but once you were at a Chinese restaurant that all just went right out the window,” he recalls. “All of a sudden you are eating BBQ pork slices, pork fried rice … it was like there were no rules all of a sudden.”
Reisman says her parents might have overlooked the restrictions in these cases because pork and shellfish is often disguised in Chinese cooking– chopped up in a sauce, for example, or concealed in a dumpling.
“As long as it was buried away in rice, you could pretend it was chicken or beef, and that was OK,” she said. “I mean, the only thing you couldn’t do in a Chinese-food restaurant was have the (roast) pig presented with the apple in its mouth.”
Growing up, Reisman recalls marvelling at the bold flavours found in Chinese food.
“The sweet and sour, the spices… my mother would not approve of me saying this, but I always found it way more exciting than Jewish food.”
This culinary custom has become so common that it wasn’t unusual to run into other Jewish families you knew at your favourite Chinese restaurant, says Rose.
“You would walk in there, and it was like a bar mitzvah. It was like a Jewish wedding,” he says of the now-closed Lichee Garden in Toronto. “There was tons of people everywhere and you knew every single one of them.
“It was not only friends, but family. I could walk in there and my Uncle Meyer and my Auntie Bonnie would be at the table next to us, it was very funny.”
Rabinovitch also recalls seeing familiar faces at her favourite spot on Christmas Day, sharing platters of food amid the sounds of clicking chopsticks and rounds of tea.
“Everybody kind of knows each other in one way or another,” she said, describing the festive atmosphere. “A party… oh yeah, a party.”

Interactive Map of State Fire Restrictions
This article will take 1 minute to read
UGRC, in partnership with the Governor's Office, the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, and the State Fire Marshal have released an interactive map of all fire restriction in the state of Utah. Previously, this information was being maintained in several different locations across federal, state, and local entities. With these willing partners and the critical nature of the information, a great level of cooperations helped to create a very timely and relevant resource for citizens of the state.


Sports footwear, apparel, accessories and home furnishings company Victorious is set to set up shop in India’s biggest city, Bengaluru, the country’s biggest and most ambitious urban development project.
The sports apparel company is set for a major push in the city, which has seen an influx of young, educated workers.
The brand, which launched in the United States last year, has a strong presence in the Indian market.
The company has set up stores in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengal, Mumbai, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Mumbai-NCR.
The company has launched a social media campaign in Bengaluru that aims to reach out to people in the area, which will include providing free food and drink to those who make an effort to shop there.
The campaign will also help people connect with Victorious through the online community, Victorious.com.
In Bengaluru Victorious hopes to tap into a huge youth market.
A study by the business management consultancy IBI Research last year found that Bengaluru was the most attractive city for young people.
Victorious, which was founded by Indian entrepreneur Vijay Prasad, is set up in partnership with the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and the film production company Cineplex.
For the company to flourish, it has to attract the attention of the city’s population.
Victurus customers will have to interact with the brand on social media, which is where the brand has an advantage.
“The brand will cater to the youth, the middle-class and the educated,” said Vijay Prakash, CEO of Victorious and co-founder of the B.B. King School of Business.
“We are trying to do a good job at this.
It is a social brand.
We are also trying to be a brand of the future.”
A big-screen, multi-functional brand, Victories focus is on its product offerings.
Victurous has partnered with top brands such as Adidas, Burberry and Louis Vuitton to create new products that cater to younger generations.
Victoras main aim is to be the go-to brand for young, professional women.
Victories first new product is a collection of women’s clothes that is available for women of all sizes.
Victurises product line also includes apparel, shoes and accessories.
The brand has also partnered with several leading brands such the American company Burberry, German luxury brands DHL, JWT and Zara.
The brand is also building its own online store to provide more affordable options for its customers.
Victors first online store will feature the brand’s products, which can be purchased for less than $25.
It will also offer discounts on its existing online store and its own website, Victoras online store.
Victores flagship store in Bengalururu is called the Victorious Online Store.
The brand also has partnerships with brands such Assocham, Glamour and T-Rex to promote its products and products across India.
Victours focus is also on reaching out to more urban Indian consumers, who have been hit hard by the government’s decision to make the city a city of 100 million.
At the same time, Victors efforts to be more socially conscious have helped the brand expand its footprint in the country.
Victuses brand ambassadors are set to visit different parts of the country in the coming months to speak to consumers and to promote the brand.
In Bengalurururu, Victurus is set on taking the brand to a wider audience.
It has been set up a digital portal to promote Victurus products.
According to a spokesperson, Victurs aim is for the brand and its brand ambassadors to travel to every city in India and promote Victurs products and services to the city.
The spokesperson said Victurus would also be making a trip to Mumbai in the next few months to showcase Victorious in the capital.


Here is a little step-by-step tutorial on how I scratch built the swivel guns for the pirate gunboat.
I wanted these side parts to be thicker so I colored the edges and glued two together to form one stronger one and made two of these. I color the edges before the glue, because the glue might prevent the marker of coloring once it dried (depending on the “strength” of then marker). I also cut the top side round.
Next – to assemble the gun barrel with the mount – I glue one side part with the center mount part as shown. Let the side part top edge be above the center part. This is where the gun barrel will be inserted.
Then I glue the gun barrel into position. I put it in at an raised angle. You need to adjust this angle depending on the ships hull side angle. The gunboat’s side is slanted a little to the outside, so the raising of the gun barrel will make it look good once it is positioned into the ship.
The last step is to glue the other side as shown. I have added some details by drawing them on with a black fine liner (a couple of times, so the black becomes really black on the dark grey background).
To place the guns into a boat I create some holder parts. But you can also just glue them to the ships side. With the holder, the guns are removable and you can rotate them!
Repeat these steps for as many guns you need to build for your pirate ship or fleet!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
As always, happy building!

Dems, Rauner Come to Short-Term Agreement
After days of negotiations, lawmakers said Wednesday that Democratic leaders and Republican Bruce Rauner had crafted a plan. The votes came Thursday on the last day of the fiscal year.
The deal would bring certainty to schools and relief to cash-strapped colleges and social service providers. But it also means the state will enter a second fiscal year without a full spending plan in place, setting up a high-stakes November election that will influence budget discussions.
The agreement also provides Chicago some relief on pension payments for teachers, an idea Rauner had resisted until Democratic lawmakers agreed to lower the amount they wanted.

Produced until the beginning of this century by varying methods, in earlier times it was made by direct reduction without further intermediate working.
The oldest process is extraction in a bloomery fire [Rennfeuer]. This was a simple firepit with a bellows bag and a sloping hearth so arranged that the slag could settle downward. This technique has been known for 4000 years and continued in use long after the closed furnace of mortar came into use to provide better heat containment and fuel economy.
Through all of antiquity and into the Middle Ages the process changed hardly at all. The result of the extraction process was the loop, a spongy, inhomogeneous mass of two or three pounds, but in a condition that could be forged straightaway.
The loop was forged at a welding heat, first with wooden hammers and then with iron ones. Only in the Middle Ages, after the development of the water wheel, was it possible to build larger furnaces and thereby produce larger loops. Over time, as they became larger and exceeded a couple of hundred pounds, the loop came to be called a bloom [Maß] and could be worked under a hammer powered by water. It was hardly posible to test the small loops for quality. They had to be worked up directly. The larger blooms, on the other hand, were rather like an onion and were segregated into a "husk" of low grade, a layer of better soft iron, an inner layer of high grade tough steel and a "heart" of very hard steel.
Until the 18th century iron production continued to be primarily by this direct reduction process and it had to deal with two problems:
The first was quality. Hardenable steel was only to be had by means of carburization of soft iron or by separating the heart steel from the other layers in the bloom. This was only done to obtain material for the edges of tools or for cutting tools.
The second was quantity: To extract a bloom from the ore a complete blast furnace batch operation was required. The furnace had to be fired up, the smelt run and then the furnace cooled again before the bloom could be pried out and the furnace readied for the next run.
This process demanded an unbelievable quantity of charcoal and manhours. An alternative was urgently required!
Because of the size of the furnace, the temperature often went too high and, to the dismay of the operators, resulted in fully melted iron [cast iron, in our terms] that no one, at least at for a long time, knew how to forge. They had already learned how to improve the quality of the outer husk of the bloom by heating the bloom to a welding heat in the finery, a forge with a powerful air blast, and compressing it by hammering and this was eventually found to work for the melted iron, too. The air blast oxidized the excess carbon in the iron. The result was good, forgable iron. The era of the direct reduction process was thus past, the quantities could be increased, the charcoal consumption was reduced to a fraction and the forests stopped dissapearing at such a rate. In Austria, for example, all the direct process furnaces had been converted by 1763.
The quality problem, however, remained. The new technology was again producing Schweißeisen -- practically identical with the earlier product. The only question is why this iron shows longitudinal fibers, as if it had grown like a tree. In the early bloomeries and the later bloomery furnaces, as well as in the forge refining and puddling processes, the work was carried out at a relatively low heat so that the iron oozed and dribbled rather than melting. These dropets collected on the hearth of the forge or furnace into a more or less massive lump that had a rather doughy consistency when brought to the hammer. At a welding heat, the droplets fused together inside the mass but also elongated as it was forged. Thus they remained visible as longitudinal fibers. The whole process depended on the tendency of relatively pure iron to weld together so long as this property wasn't forfeitted by the introduction of foreign material. Chief among such materials are sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and excess amounts of carbon. We've seen in this review that the ancient smelting technologies were essentially processes purely of welding rather than of melting. The product was worked in several different ways that were, however, all effectively the same. If a piece was too small or of the wrong consistency, it was welded to another. We admire the results today in the splendid ironwork of the Romanesque, the grillwork of the Renaissance and the Baroque as well as in their tools and fittings and especially their huge anvils that were welded up from many little pieces.
Once again it was an outsider that made the breakthrough. In 1740, the clockmaker Benjamin Huubman produced the first crucible steel in industrial quantities and reliable quality. The chief factor in producing crucible steel is the recognition that the iron and the fuel must be kept separated, an insight that led to the development of the puddling process by Henry Cort in 1780.
Puddling replaced the finery forge and remained for a hundred years the method of choice for converting raw iron into forgable iron.
The discovery by Henry Bessemer that it was possible to decarburize liquid iron by blasting air through it was major sensation, not least because the temperarure of the melt could be maintained and increased without the use of fuel by the oxidation of the carbon in the iron. After several experiments, Bessemer presented his idea in a proposal in 1856 and was able to put into immdiate practice with some success. Some problems remained, however, due to the phosphorus content of the ore.
Sidney G. Thomas was the first to solve the phosphorus problem by means of a basic converter lining  and the addition of quantities of quicklime to the melt. At this point the metallurgy of melted iron was mature and from 1879 spread around the world.
The problems of quality and quantity were finally resolved. The new steel technology accelerated industry and civilization and was simultaneously one of the greatest experiments of mankind.

When you go outside, you bundle up. And the rule is, if it's too cold for you without some sort of covering, it's too cold for your furry friends.
The Humane Society recommends dogs with short or thin hair need some sort of coat when you walk them. And while summer shaves are in during summer, don't do that during winter.
Just like your skin, your pet's skin gets dry. You can add a skin and coat supplement to their food. And if you find your pet's paws, ears or tail are dry or cracking, you can also apply coconut oil.
Winter salt on sidewalks and driveways can burn your dog's pads and is toxic. After walks, rinse or wipe your dog's paws to remove any salt – you don't want him licking it off.

Security forces raid Ust-Labinsk administration within orphans prison barracks case
When inspecting apartments for displaced persons, moldy mushrooms were found on the premises.
The administration of Ust-Labinsk district and head of the municipality Nikolay Artyushchenko, suspected of buying prison barracks for orphans, are searched; the investigators seized documents. The disputed premises examined and the mold and other violations of sanitary standards on the walls have has been found, the ICR of Krasnodar Krai reports.
According to investigators, the administration of Ust-Labinsky district bought eight apartments for orphans in the village of Dvubratsky at an inflated price, and earlier head of the area Artyushchenko signed acts of acceptance and transfer of premises without conducting a mandatory check on compliance with sanitary and technical standards. Residents submitted collective complaints to the administration with a request to eliminate the violations but received no response.
The district administration stated that the inspection of the premises was carried out and no violations were detected. An inquiry organized by the Investigatiму Committee found multiple traces of mold. Administration paid for premises more than 9.4 million rubles. Prisoners were kept there.
On February 4, the investigating authorities initiated a criminal case on abuse of power against Artyushchenko.
Mass protest rallies have been taking place in Moscow on a regular basis since the beginning of this summer. People are protesting for lots of different reasons. However, the reaction of the law enforcement authorities is always the same: repression. What is the reason behind the brutality shown during the dispersion of mass rallies? A conscious intimidation policy or incompetence of law enforcement functionaries escalating the violence and unable to imagine the potential consequences of this?

Bailey Named Regions Tradition Volunteer of the Year
June 4, 2012
Birmingham, Ala.-- The Regions Tradition, along with the Champions Tour, announced that Brad Bailey has been named the Regions Tradition Volunteer of the Year for his loyal service as Vice Chairman for the 2012 event.
Bailey receives a Champions Tour-logoed Waterford crystal gift and will now become a finalist for the Champions Tour’s Volunteer of the Year award at the conclusion of the 2012 season. He will also receive a personal note from Champions Tour President Mike Stevens in recognition of his achievement.
At each Champions Tour event, an individual is recognized for outstanding service and dedication above and beyond the expectation of a volunteer and that person becomes a finalist for the year-end award.
Volunteers are always present, but often unnoticed, at all PGA TOUR co-sanctioned events, with approximately 1,000 people providing their time and efforts at each Champions Tour tournament. Their selfless efforts have helped the PGA TOUR and its tournaments donate more than $1.7 billion to charity over the years, including more than $118 million last year.
Mike Thompson, Tournament General Chairman, along with tournament staff, volunteer leaders and Champions Tour Advance Rules/Operations Officials determined the Regions Tradition Volunteer of the Year by considering the qualities and attributes to select an individual who went beyond assigned duties and set an outstanding example for others.
Bailey was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and went to Birmingham Southern College before marrying his wife Amy. They have two children, Campbell, 5, and Sarah, 3. Amy, Campbell and Sarah all join their dad in making the Regions Tradition a family affair.
Bailey, as Vice Chairman of the Volunteers, works in conjunction with the tournament Volunteer Director to recruit, train, and oversee all 1,000 volunteers leading up to the tournament, and also during tournament week. He runs all Vice Chairman meetings and has a key role in all decisions pertaining to the volunteer program.
“Brad goes out of his way to ensure every detail is taken care of pertaining to the volunteers and operations of the tournament,” Thompson said. “He has a busy job and family life, but takes the time to ensure the volunteer committees are adequately prepared to execute each detail on a major championship level. We congratulate Brad and know we are very fortunate to have him involved with the Regions Tradition.”
“Congratulations to Brad for being named as the Champions Tour Volunteer of the Tournament,” said Mike Stevens, President of the Champions Tour. “Typical of the thousands of volunteers who devote their time and efforts throughout the year, Brad stands out as a fine example of the people who have become part of the fabric of the Champions Tour and have helped us to realize the success we enjoy. We thank him, and recognize him for hisdedication to the Regions Tradition.”

The roll-out of the platform is targeting 3 phases of functional milestones via an agile iterative product improvement focus.
Phase 1 – 2022 – 2023
Phase 1 commenced early 2022, building upon almost a decade of MEAN and AWS development in the data visualization space with a non-technical client-centric focus. It targets start-ups and small businesses with immediate technical and data requirements – including users, objects, enquiries, payments, data exploring, ingestion, dashboards, and logging.
The pre-seed and seed round is self-funded with an MVP available for internal testing 2023. Interested third party and partner invitations beginning April 2023, ready for end-user testing and feedback for further iterative improvement of the platform to perfect a product-market fit. This agile iterative approach will remain indefinitely.
- User authentication, registration, roles, permissions, API keys, access control levels (ACL) and teams
- Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) of data schemas, field types, models, collections/datasets, and objects
- Real-time dashboards, dashboard templates, graphs, data explorer and data flow, meta-data, dashboard widgets and sections, operational information
- Support for multiple databases of multiple types streamed into a single central system, ie. MongoDB, DocumentDB, MySQL, Elasticsearch
- Automated data backups, data change and update history, and timed snapshots of defined datasets
- Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) of scripts controlling automated ingestion of data source to target, API calls, data syncing from third parties, and custom scripts accessible via CRON and API
- Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) of organisations, projects, teams, tasks, tickets as well as complete control over identifying and forming linked data relationships between any object type on the platform
- Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) of maps, locations, areas, groups, and multiple map linkage, map styles, custom maps (ie internal maps, exoplanets, floor plans) and dynamic editing on individual maps themselves
- Live and historical feed of all full-stack logs: API, user actions, user details, data ingestion and updates, infrastructure
- File storage and file access control
- Infrastructure ingestion rate at 360,000 matured objects per hour, handling 1000 users concurrently, seamless upscaling with demand at 100% uptime
Phase 2 – 2023 – 2024
Phase 2 branches out into preparation for more business operational control and includes project management workflows, third party integration and multi-solution data synchronization, logistics and fleet monitoring, bookings and calendars, financial data and reports, alarms, and alerts.
A focus on development of phase 2 features to begin mid-2023 with expected release 2024. Alpha levels of phase 2 functionality exists and to be continually improved upon until ready for client release throughout 2023. During this stage, series A, angel investing, and partnerships are to be tentatively explored while continuing to iterate product based on first-wave client feedback.
- Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) alarms, alerts and thresholds based on incoming and processed data, notifying via email or SMS
- Third-party SaaS data synchronised with platform to power internal operations and workflow Initially Salesforce, Zendesk, Stripe, Mailchimp & Mandrill
- Build upon organisations, projects, tasks, and tickets data with improved project management workflow, dashboards, and capabilities

Part 3 Coming Mid December 2022: Phase 1 Case Study Examples and Meeting Requirements


Emerald Robinson: Monkeys and middle-age, what a crisis? Happy kids, wealthy grownups. And what star's photograph is making headlines. Probably not what you think. All that and more coming up on the Daily Orbit.
Hello and welcome to the Daily Orbit! I am Emerald Robinson. A dachshund knows what it's like to walk again. Thanks to the marvels of modern science. Jasper had been unable to walk since a 2008 injury severely damaged his spinal cord. Doctors injected Jasper's spinal cord with his own old-factory cells from his nose. Six months later and Jasper can walk. His owners say he even whizzes around the house.
The team says that one day this application could be used to restore human spinal cords, but for now the procedure is still very limited. They say it will still be some time before they can tackle the harder range of functions lost in spinal cord injury such as hand and bladder function and temperature regulation. Still the fact that Jasper can walk again is really amazing.
So it turns out that is not just your 50-year-old neighbor that suddenly started getting sprayed tans, went out and bought a Corvette, and started bumping Flo' Rida, that is experiencing a midlife crisis. Scientists say the middle-aged ape at the zoo is going through it too.
The study looked at apes in captivity and found that their sense of well-being bottomed out during their late 20s to 30s, the ape-equivalent middle age. I am really glad that's not the human age. And how exactly do you judge an ape's well-being? Researchers had zookeepers complete a questionnaire that surveyed each animal's mood, their pleasure when socializing, and their success in achieving certain goals. After analyzing the results researchers found that well-being in the apes dropped during middle age, but rose again as the animals moved into old age. They say these findings suggest that the midlife crisis has biological rather than sociological roots.
Well, money might not buy you happiness, but happiness might mean you get more money. A new study found that happy kids may grow up to be wealthier adults. Here is the breakdown. The correlation in based off the idea that happy people have a greater chance of obtaining higher education. With that higher education degree they are more likely to be promoted over their not-so-happy coworkers. Thus, making more income per annum.
So if you want your kids to afford a good nursing home for you instead of a crappy one, make sure they are happy.
Here is a question you might want to ask your surgeon. So how much gaming do you do per day? A new study revealed that high school and college gamers are more adapted to using robotic surgical tools than medical residents. The study took a group of high school students, college students, and medical residents and tested them on 20 different skill parameters and 32 different teachings steps on a robotic surgery simulator which uses a 3D virtual display similar to modern video games. High schoolers took the lead with the college students second and the medical residents, yup, they were the least adaptive. But before you get really worried the medical residents did perform a complex virtual surgery better than the high school students, even if they aren't as adept at using the robotic tools.
The researchers say that medical educators should rethink how to best teach these new generations with enhanced visual spatial experience and hand-eye coordination. Their recommendation? Two hours a day of gaming for all future surgeons, but remember it's still not an excuse to sit in front of Call of Duty all day. Not all of you are training to be surgeons.
What star photograph is making headlines? FYI, it's not Lindsay Lohan. Maybe I should say making science headlines. A rare glimpse of a super-Jupiter exo-planet Kappa Andromedae b or Kappa And b for short has been captured circling its host star. Astronomers used the Subaru telescope to capture an image of the planet around its massive star Kappa Andromedae. Getting the rare picture was challenging as the star Kappa Andromedae is two-and-a-half times the mass of our sun and Kappa And b circled the star at nearly twice the distance that Neptune orbits our sun.
The astronomers had to use advanced techniques for observation and image analysis to get the shot. They're looking to further observe the planet to get a better understanding of the gas giant's atmospheric chemistry and to learn more about its orbit. They're also looking for other planets around Kappa Andromedae. Well, that's winning a shot. Take that, Lindsay Lohan. And that's it for today's Daily Orbit. We will see you right back here tomorrow for more fun science news. Bye Orbitors.

Just under 300 kms from home, lying East of Perth is the small town of Merredin. It is primarily wheat and sheep country. I love this little town with its distinctive gum trees. Tall, with slender bronzed limbs and tufts of green that shimmer and sway in the breeze, they bring a feminine presence to an otherwise rugged, agricultural landscape.
I attempted to arrive in town before dusk but didn’t get there until 5:30 pm. Being a Public Holiday there were no food outlets open except the local BP with its usual fare of greasy food favoured by long haul truck drivers. I left with a bottle of water and went to bed soon after, feeling hungry and punished.
I woke at dawn to a familiar song, the sweet, musical song of the brown honeyeater. I usually wake to this in the Goldfields where they are prolific. Hundreds of kilometres apart, the waking at dawn is familiar. I know in my spirit, wherever there is songbird, I am home.
These trips are work related and I am humbled people travel, sometimes over 100 kms, to come in for a scheduled appointment. This is routine in a vast land for people who live in rural and remote areas. Nor it is uncommon for me to visit a town where I know nobody. I am also often distinctive, because of ethnicity. I have adjusted to the discomfort of this. I know I am part of the solution. It gives my life meaning and mitigates the pitfalls of an itinerant lifestyle.
At the end of a long, busy day I spent a couple of hours in a grove of gum trees just outside town. The pink and grey galahs were less visible this trip. Usually there are carpets of them feeding boldly on the ground, or beading the fence and power lines, squawking aggressively at the intrusion of my camera. The absence of the usual flock of birds gave me a new perspective. I looked more closely at my towering companions and found the fading light was staining the bark with exquisite delicacy. In a blink, I was in a gallery of abstract art. I was sharing this space with an artist whose work demands I look outside the framework of His artistry. It is a thought, and space, worth returning to.
A solitary lifestyle has many pros and cons. I miss the comforts of home and family. I miss people who I can talk to as friend. On the other hand, the writer in me enjoys the solitude, where words come easily. And, I have found, in those moments when a sense of aloneness surfaces unexpectedly, Nature is a constant companion. She is inclusive, soothing, healing, ever present. She is messenger. She is the fridge magnet I have left behind at home “I am with you” Matthew 28:20.
Nestled among trees, I am a grateful recipient of the message. I am never alone.
May you, too, seek and find the company you need today.

Selectmen toured the closed Ella F. Hoxie School in North Sagamore on November 15, and it now falls to the board to consider what might become of the century old building.
Efforts to figure out a plan follow a failed attempt at using it as the site of an arts/science/education facility.
Bourne Town Administrator Thomas Guerino said the board might opt to follow the path that previous selectmen took when it came time to consider the fate and future of the old Kempton Coady School on Cotuit Road, which is now an apartment complex.
Hoxie, meanwhile, is a slightly different example of what might transpire. It is built into three sub-levels, making reconstruction arguably much more difficult. But the classrooms are bright and airy with big windows. There also is a cafeteria, gym, and large parking area with room for a playground off Williston Road.
Selectmen Chairman Peter Meier said Hoxie would require money and attention.
“Something that we don’t have within the town budget to absorb at this time,” Meier said. “It’s all about priorities, and as much as Hoxie was a fixture for many generations within the village of Sagamore Beach, it’s time to look at other options.”
Meier said Guerino’s office could possibly write a formal request for proposals (RFP) “to gear it toward what we want.”
“Preserving the architectural character of the building is important to me if possible, with whoever acquires the property,” he said.
Meier said Hoxie’s future will become a decision by the entire board of selectmen when it comes to ultimate disposition of a building that served nearly five generations of schoolchildren.
“I’m open for any suggestions that are viable and take the responsibility away from the Town of Bourne taxpayers,” Meier said. “We could get revenues between selling the property and receiving tax revenue going forward.”


Washington, D.C. declared a public health emergency on Thursday (Sept. 8) as waves of migrants continued to arrive in the nation capital from Texas and Arizona.
Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that the declaration enables her administration to establish an office that will provide services to the incoming migrants who are seeking asylum.
“We’re putting in place a framework that would allow us to have a coordinated response with our partners,” CNN quoted Bowser. “This will include a program to meet all buses, and given that most people will move on, our primary focus is to make sure we have a humane, efficient, welcome process that will allow people to move on to their final destination.”
Under the emergency declaration, the administration can more efficiently mobilize people and resources to address the crisis, as well as seek federal assistance. Officials plan to allocate $10 million to create the new office and ask the Federal Emergency Management Agency for partial reimbursement.
The rapid influx of asylum seekers stems from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans, busing migrants from their states to northern cities in protest of the Biden administration overturning a pandemic-era order restricting migrant entry numbers to the U.S.
According to CNN, Texas sent more than 7,900 migrants to D.C., more than 2,200 to New York City, and more than 300 to Chicago.
By mid-August, Texas spent over $12 million busing migrants to the three sanctuary cities, ABC News reports. The three Democratic mayors have strongly criticized the border-state governors for their policy.
"My frustration comes from the actions of the governor of Texas. There could be a level of coordination and cooperation, but he chooses to do none of those things,” Fox News quoted Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot at a press conference on Sunday (Sept. 4). “Instead, he chooses to send human beings across the country to an uncertain destination. That's unacceptable."
In August, New York City Mayor Eric Adams tweeted his displeasure with Abbott busing migrants to the Big Apple. Adams said Abbott has “used innocent people as political pawns to manufacture a crisis. New Yorkers are stepping up to fix it — that’s our city’s values.”
Bowser echoed Lightfoot and Adams’ sentiment, condemning Abbott and Ducey for creating the “growing humanitarian crisis,” according to CNN.

Ibrahim Muhammad, chief justice of Nigeria, has asked the newly sworn in chief judge of the federal high court and president of the national industrial court of Nigeria to respect their oath of office.
Muhammad said this during the oath taking ceremony of John Tsoho, chief judge of the federal high court, and Benedict Kanyip, president of the national industrial court of Nigeria (NICN), which was held at the supreme court on Friday.
The CJN said: “Oath taking into an office is not something to celebrate; it is something that… we all have to sympathise with the person who is sworn in….”
“The very time you take that oath, you are bound to respect that oath. All your conducts and dealings must be within the scope of that oath.
“It is a solemn undertaken between you and your creator. Therefore, a very tender job like that of a judge is something that requires prayers.
”At the end of the oath, the subscriber says so help me God but certainly, God will not help you if you don’t help yourself.
“The first thing to do in other to help yourself is to respect yourself, know your onions and know the kind of people you move with. Know your principles and don’t allow anybody to disturb those principles.”

CA Cities Suspend Unlicensed Driver Impounds: Unfair Burden on Illegal Immigrants?
The LA Times reports two California cities are following LA's lead: they're no longer impounding the cars of unlicensed drivers. Scofflaws apprehended in Bell Gardens and Huntington Park can now reclaim their cars immediately– instead of waiting a month and paying hundreds of dollars in fines and fees. Huntington Park City Attorney Francisco Leal said the impound law imposes an "unfair hardship" on the state's illegal immigrants: "There is no way these people can afford that." Immigrant rights advocate Cynthia Anderson-Barker filed a lawsuit against the state and several cities challenging the 30-day impounds. She underlined Leal's point. "The hardship on these families is just phenomenal. When the car is gone and the family loses their transportation, it pushes them further into poverty." State Sen. Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles), sponsor of several failed bills to give California's illegal immigrants the right to apply for a driver's license, called for a statewide moratorium on the impounds. Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), countered that ending impounds would send a clear signal that California welcomes illegal immigrants. Imagine that.

By using any of the information on this page to create Personal Protective Equipment, you agree to the terms of the Lowell Makes PPE Waiver.
Lowell Makes is 3D printing the NIH approved Face Shield face shield headband.
Download the file here: https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3dpx-013359
We are printing out the headbands on our 3D printers using the following settings.
For the face shield PET or PETG film 0.14 mm to 0.5 mm thick can be used. Then if you have access to a LASER cutter or other machine able to cut thin film you can utilize it to quickly cut out the shield. Otherwise you can print out the shield on paper as a template and cut it out then use a 3 hole punch to make the holes.
Note that if you use thinner film it can work, but it may collapse on your face as you walk or move. Ideally use 0.14 mm to 0.5 mm thick film. If you are really desperate you can use transparency film (cellulose acetate), but it is very thin. You can LASER cut two at once and that will fuse them together and make a thicker shield, but it is not ideal.
If you are donating the face shields you may wish to make modifications to the shield dimensions based on your local facilities requirements as some like the shield to be longer or wider.
Download the file here: DtM-v3.1 Face Shield
Note there are two files A and B. A is a single shield template. B is set up to cut out two shields.
Full Spectrum LASER Cutter Settings
Please e-mail [email protected] if you are in the Lowell area and can donate PET or PETG film.
We are using 3/4″ wide elastic straps from a local company that is donating the material. The elastic is a Thermoplastic Elastomer Compound, which is suitable for skin contact. We cut the strap to 17″ length and then LASER cut three holes on each end of the strap so that the person wearing the face shield can adjust the strap for fit and comfort.
Download the file here: DtM-v3.1 Face Shield Elastic Strap
To cut the slits in the strap.
- Speed: 10% Power: 100%
- Situate the strap left to right on the LASER cutter parallel to the heads direction of travel left to right.
- Line up LASER on the left of the strap in the middle of the strap
- Hit go
- The Laser will move 1/2″ to the right and cut the first slit.
- For packaging to distribute the face shields a 9×12” bag works well. If many shields are going to the same location we suggest packaging all shields in one bag to reduce the number of plastic bags and having the people receiving them assemble the face shields.
Gather the headband, shield and strap.
Attach the strap
Attach the shield on one side post and the middle post.
Then press up on the headband bending it outward and pull on the shield until if pops over the last post.
If you are using a Prusa design as we were then you can follow along with the video below.
In this video, one of our members assembles a face shield and narrates the process.

Evaluation by a chiropractor has long been recommended after a car accident, and this advice is for a good reason. Chiropractic treatment can help individuals heal after an accident and prevent future problems often overlooked by traditional medicine. In many cases, chiropractors can discover damage that is not easily seen, from whiplash to spinal disc…
5 Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment After a Car Accident
Chiropractic treatment is often recommended after a car accident because it may help bring the spine back into proper alignment after whiplash or other accident-related injuries. If you have recently been involved in a car accident and experience discomfort because of your injuries, receiving care from a chiropractor could be beneficial to you. Here are five benefits you could potentially receive by visiting a chiropractor after a car accident.
Benefits of post-accident chiropractic treatments
1. Reduce inflammation
Inflammation is a common consequence of physical injury. While some amount of inflammation is normal and indicates your body’s attempts to heal itself, too much can be harmful to your tissues and can cause discomfort. When a chiropractor manipulates your spine to realign the spinal cord, your body may respond by cutting back on its inflammatory cytokine production, which can lower the inflammatory response in your body and reduce pain.
Inflammatory back pain presents in different ways than mechanical back pain. Symptoms of excessive inflammation in the spine include stiffness and pain that increases after periods of inactivity. If your back pain is due to inflammation, you will most likely feel the most pain when you first wake in the morning.
2. Minimize pain
When you receive chiropractic adjustments after a car accident, you can potentially minimize pain throughout your body. During spinal manipulations conducted by a chiropractor, your body naturally releases pain-relieving hormones. A study conducted by The University of Spain showed that levels of oxytocin, neurotensin and cortisol in the blood stream increased in test subjects after spinal manipulation.
3. Restore range of motion
When you are injured in a car accident, your neck or back can lose flexibility. Loss of flexibility can be due to misalignment of the joints in the spine, development of scar tissue and/or inflammation. A chiropractic adjustment can restore range of motion by mobilizing your spine and returning the joints to proper alignment.
4. Reduce scar tissue
It is normal for scar tissue to develop after a car accident injury. When muscles or tendons are damaged, the body attempts to heal them by forming scar tissue from collagen. Unfortunately, scar tissue can cause long-term pain and stiffness. In many cases, the tissue will heal on its own and eventually function like normal tissue. However, if it is causing you discomfort, a chiropractor can use specific techniques to break the scar tissue up so the area can heal faster.
5. Experience non-invasive treatment
Most people want to avoid surgery after a car accident if possible. However, if you wait too long to treat your injuries, surgery could end up being your only option. Chiropractic treatments are non-invasive and align the spine without surgical intervention. If you visit a chiropractor for treatment soon after your injury, you may reduce your chances of requiring surgery in the future.
Chiropractors use a variety of tools and techniques to realign individual vertebrae and restore joint flexibility after a car accident. Benefits of spinal manipulation and other services offered by doctors of chiropractic include decreased inflammation and pain, restored range of motion and reduced scar tissue.

What does it mean to take a break or even a step back? Both phrases have a negative connotation for me, as they suggest that whatever I'm doing might be in excess or require re-evaluation.
Historically, I'm not a break-taker. I like to keep the huskies mushing, believing (or being trained to believe, perhaps?) that all motion—regardless of direction—is progress.
But now, I believe this is not the case. By the above model, I (or you) would turn into the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil version of productivity—limbs (mental and physical) flailing in all directions at once, making it impossible to discern a left big toe from a right ear.
At a design studio I used to work at, we had a phrase for this: PANTS ON FUEGO. The intentional mis-combination of English and Spanish was meant to convey with even greater urgency how really ON FIRE your pantaloons were in that moment.
Readers of this blog (all 5 of you!) know that I've been a bit reflective lately. Years of operating "on fuego", some unfortunate athletic mishaps, and a complete career regeneration seem to have spurred this. Or else there is something in my water.
To encourage my reflective phase, I recently had two "breaks" which yielded some unexpected results, both artistically and gastronomically.
I spent a week at Iach HQ babysitting my dog while my parents were on vacation.
I thought I would be lonely. I was not.
I thought I would hate getting snowed in with no escape. I did not.
I thought conversations with the dog would get old. They did not.
The literal space this break created allowed me to asses my life from afar, like reading a recipe and deciding what subtractions, substitutions or additions I would make to make it taste better.
What's my new life recipe? I'll be constantly rewriting that. And it will never be perfect, but most likely lumpy, like an heirloom tomato. Those tomatoes always taste better...I think those might be flavor lumps.
Here is an excerpt from my Food Journal for Lumpy Life Heirloom Tomato Salad:
My next "break" was in Puerto Rico - a real vacation! No computer. I brought a set of travel watercolors (pictured at the top of this post), a few Sharpies and a sketchbook. I meant to draw and paint on my own but what happened instead was a series of painting sessions with the children (ages 3-10) that were in our group's number.
Every day we found time for painting together.
Sometimes we painted food.
Sometimes the three year old commandeered my sketchbook for excessive rainbow application.
And sometimes we painted animals.
By Max Philips, Age 10We made sure to keep everything drippy and unprofessional.
I didn't think I would enjoy this. I was wrong.
I didn't think I'd be running to the local school supply store for more art supplies two days into the trip. I was.
I didn't think the kids would be giving ME ideas. They were.
Here is the remaining pages of the notebook I kept, complete with a few loosely constructed recipes. This notebook is a combination of my works, rainbows by the youngest student and additions by the twins (aged 10).
I didn't think the book would be better with their help. It is.

April 2, 2011- It seems like everywhere you turn there is a story about the how bad the deficit is and how the government must make drastic cuts to save the economy and reduce the deficit. The Tea Party is clinging to their demands for $100 Billion in budget cuts or they say they will shut down the government. “Rep. Mike Pence (R) of Indiana, a tea party favorite in Congress, urged taking a hard-line on budget cuts – and if that meant a shutdown, then so be it. “If liberals in the Senate would rather play political games and shut down the government instead of making a small down payment on fiscal discipline and reform, I say, shut it down,” Congressman Pence said, eliciting a chant of “Cut or shut! Cut or shut!” from the crowd. Republicans worried about blame for a shutdown might not be so happy with Pence for that.” Christian Science Monitor
It is interesting to note that cuts in the bloated defense budget were not included in the demands made by the Republicans and Tea party faithful. They want to cut the programs that seem to do the most good for the poor and the middle class, all the while allowing the wealthy and corporations to get tax breaks and tax credits. We have seen the stories detailing so many of the big corporations that paid little or no federal tax. “Last week, the New York Times reported that General Electric (GE), the world’s largest corporation paid nothing in federal corporate income taxes in 2010. In fact, the company made over $14 billion in profits and actually received a $3.2 billion tax benefit.” Think Progress
That is an amazing statistic. GE not only paid no federal taxes, they actually got billions in tax credits! That means that all of those nurses, and firemen and state workers who were in danger of losing their jobs, paying more in insurance premiums and losing their collective bargaining rights in states across the union because of the dire economic situation in their states, actually paid more taxes to the Federal Government than the Third largest corporation in the world! Why aren’t the Tea Party faithful going after the GE’s of the world to share in the sacrifice?

The Effects of Charge Homogeneity and Repeatability on Particulates Using the PLIF Technique in an Optical DISI Engine
The work was concerned with visualisation of the charge homogeneity and cyclic variations within the planar fuel field near the spark plug in an optical spark ignition engine fitted with an outwardly opening central direct fuel injector. Specifically, the project examined the effects of fuel type and injection settings, with the overall view to understanding some of the key mechanisms previously identified as leading to particulate formation in such engines. The three fuels studied included a baseline iso-octane, which was directly compared to two gasoline fuels containing 10% and 85% volume of ethanol respectively. The engine was a bespoke single cylinder with Bowditch style optical access through a flat piston crown. Charge stratification was studied over a wide spectrum of injection timings using the Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) technique, with additional variation in charge temperature due to injection also estimated when viable using a two-line PLIF approach.


Redskins Halftime Takeaways: Case Keenum, offense entirely outmatched
By Ian Cummings
It’s half time in D.C., and the Redskins have a lot of ground to cover.
In a home game against a team with an anemic offense, it was theorized that perhaps the Washington Redskins could compete. The Redskins showed flashes against the Eagles, and they’ve have limited bursts of success. Perhaps, against a team with a surefire weakness, they could find breathing room.
But breathing room, as it turns out, is a limited commodity against the Bears defense. Chicago’s defensive unit is still very much legit, even after losing defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, and so far, Washington has learned the hard way on Monday Night Football. Two quarters are down, and the Redskins trail the Chicago Bears by a score of 3-28.
Washington’s defense has still been porous, giving up 21 points to an offense that scored one touchdown in the first two weeks of the season. Receivers have gotten open consistently, and Mitchell Trubisky threw his first three touchdowns of the 2019 campaign in the first half. But even then, the defense hasn’t been the worst part of the game.
Washington’s offense has been entirely ineffective in the first half. Case Keenum threw two interceptions on erratic passes, and he showed a lack of comfort and pocket awareness under center. But Keenum hasn’t had any help from his offensive line, either. He’s encountered pressure on approximately half of his drop backs, and Khalil Mack in particular has been a terror against Morgan Moses.
There are still two quarters left to play, but this one already feels like it’s over. The Bears have dominated the game in just about every facet, and the Redskins, if anything, have lost ground after halftime adjustments in Weeks 1 and 2. This is the kind of performance, under the lights, with jobs on the line, that causes swift change.

Authorities in Stanislaus County say that 36-year-old David Machado shot a sheriff's deputy twice in the head Sunday as the deputy was checking a reported stolen van.
Authorities say Machado then carjacked another vehicle and committed an armed robbery before the alleged purse snatching attempt, which led to his arrest.
