Uber Ditches Post-Ride User Tracking

John Lister's picture

Uber has ditched a policy that meant it could track a user's location for five minutes after the cab has dropped them off. The move could be related to a change in management.

Until last November, users had the option to only give the 'ridesharing' app permission to access location data on their phone while they were actually using it. Following an update, users had to choose between giving permission for continuous tracking or having location details switched off completely.

Customers Choose Between Privacy and Convenience

The latter option meant that although the app would still work, users would have to manually input their location and where they wanted to go, rather than have their location automatically selected and be able to tap on a map to give their destination.

The former option theoretically meant Uber could track the users' location 24/7. In fact, the company says it only did so for five minutes after a drop off, something it said was to ensure customer safety, though it hasn't detailed why this was the case. It adds that this was only done on Android devices (and eventually the feature was dropped), with the additional tracking never actually used on iPhones. (Source: reuters.com)

Company Reputation Under Repair

Joe Sullivan, Uber's security chief, says that although this benefited customers, the company did a poor job of explaining why it felt the extra five minutes of tracking was necessary. Users will now be able to return to having location data only collected when the app is in use. Sullivan says any expansion to the tracking will be opt-in and have a clear explanation of why it's needed. (Source: theguardian.com)

The change comes shortly after the appointment of former Expedia boss Dara Khosworwshahi to run Uber, taking over from the highly controversial company founder Travis Kalanick. The change of management has prompted a series of changes that are designed to improve the company's reputation, particularly when it comes to privacy and security issues.

What's Your Opinion?

Is there any logical reason why tracking users for five minutes after drop-off could help their safety? Do you agree with Uber's defense that the real problem wasn't the policy itself but rather the lack of explanation? Should mobile operating systems require clearer warnings about when an app does and doesn't access information such as a phone's location?

I can't imagine why Uber would want to track users for 5 entire minutes after being dropped off, other than to have proof that the user was in fact dropped off at the desired location - perhaps for legal or dispute purposes. Another idea might be that some users were gaming the system, taking ride after ride for free, and they needed the location tracking to find out how the system was being gamed.

I've had seven knee surgeries and walk with a cane, but I wouldn't use Uber if they had the only vehicles left on the planet and the hounds of hell were in hot pursuit of me during a zombie apocalypse.

In order to develop and explain structures with acceptable insulation, a deterministic prediction model was developed. The paper considers transmission through the system and the response of the model. Excitation (as caused by the ISO-tapping machine) is considered in a separate paper [1]. The system description employs a spatial transform technique, making use of the periodicity of the floor structure with the aid of Poisson's sum rule. The radiated power is calculated using numerical integration in the wave-number domain, the radiated power enabling the impact sound level to be calculated. Comparisons are made between measurements found in the literature and the proposed prediction model, the effects of different excitation models being discussed. A relatively close agreement is achieved, especially if an elaborate excitation model is employed. UR - ER -

511 Readings | 3 Ratings

We breezed, in our tiny nighties, through basement larders
and waterparks and knee-high fields dotted only by
the Indian dead. We disbelieved our punishments and planned
the plastic futures of hundreds of dolls, their flaking veils of paint
steadily revealing to us what it means to be women:
we sentenced them to barren frontiers, compulsive
recurring love affairs that arose and were cut down again
like zombies in their prime.

Dress-up was ever a source of tension, my drive
to arrange and then abandon at high-heeled odds
with your love of envelopment. Sometimes on Sunday nights
the desert would go out, blazing pink as our Barbie jeep,
and over our mother’s holler we let the sand darken and seep dew;
the chilly grit beneath our knees was preferable.

Had we grown up amid fireflies, the promise of snow,
we might not have learned that staying away
is always the answer. Even so, yours is the love
that taught me to speak, that follows me home.

inspHire - IPAF Summit 2015 Speaker

Jun 2, 2015

inspHire continue to applaud the work IPAF do to make working environments safer through education and training. After Ron DeFeo’s speech at the IPAF Summit a couple of years ago in Miami, FL, around statistics and safety in the industry, inspHire couldn’t help but think of ways they could leverage technology in their product to complement IPAF’s efforts in minimizing accidents in the workplace. Having worked in the industry for 17 years and dealing with over 1,000 businesses, Marc Tedeschi, Business Development Manager for inspHire Rental Software, found it strange that he had never been asked about software functionality related to safety. So, when asked at The Rental Show 2015 in New Orleans if he would be interested in speaking at the IPAF Summit last month, this topic came to mind immediately.

Here are just a ways that inspHire’s software solutions could help you improve the safety of your work environment, which Marc spoke about at the event…

Reporting is one of the most basic forms of data output, but it’s also one of the most important. Typically software solutions have hundreds of reports available out of the box. Some of the ones that directly impact safety include: Service or Maintenance Due, Inspections, Certificate Expirations, Service History, Slow Rent to know what has been sitting idle too long. It’s critical that the data is timely, accurate and specific to your needs. In addition to the canned reports that are part of the solution’s product offering, it’s also important that you have the ability to customize existing reports or create brand new ones, and export data to other programs like Excel, which allow you to slice and dice the data for extra analysis by sorting, charting, or running pivot tables. Another key feature is an automatic reports scheduler which allows you to preconfigure filters for specific reports and have the system not only generate, but email them to specific recipients at the desired date and time. These can also be set on a recurring basis. For example, the Service or Parts Manager may want a report for all equipment requiring planned maintenance for the upcoming week. And they may want this report sent to them every Monday morning prior to the start of the day. Having these reports generated and sent automatically to multiple people helps you not only plan your workload better, but items are less likely to slip through the cracks resulting in equipment that is safer to use giving operators more confidence.

Planned Maintenance

Keeping equipment maintained according to manufacturers’ recommendations is critical to minimizing machinery failure which in turn results in a safer work environment. Your software should have the capability to set up maintenance schedules. The schedules typically fall into the category of time, such as an annual inspection, by usage, such as a 250-hour service, or a combination of both as in “whichever comes first”. Setting a time-based schedule is usually done through a simple calendar. A usage schedule can be generated using meter functionality. The meter can be identified by the end user as usage hours, mileage, or fluid level for a specific piece of equipment. There are also telematics solutions that allow you to check meter readings remotely.

Off-rent inspections allow you to automatically book equipment directly to the Service Department when it comes off-rent. And you can specify which equipment this pertains to. This functionality also allows you to create the types of inspections to be performed based on the type of equipment that is coming off rent. An electric scissor lift will likely have different steps that the inspection of a diesel generator. The off-rent inspection also gives you the opportunity to update meter readings, check for excess wear and tear, take new pictures and make sure it is safe to put back into the rental fleet.

Accessories are items that you rent out, sell, or purchase with a parent item on a rental contract, sales order, invoice, workshop job, or purchase order. They can be classified as Safety, Optional, Mandatory, or Kit Items. These accessories appear in a drop down list with checkboxes as the end user adds equipment to a contract. So, the process is automated and doesn’t require the end user to remember what gear goes out with specific equipment.

Document Management / Certificates

In addition to storing inspection documentation, meter readings, and pictures, your software should allow for storing multiple documents against an asset. Examples of documents could include certificates, brochures, operating instructions, and safety information. Your software should also automate the printing of these saved documents in conjunction with the printing of contract documents. It might be a good idea to have a brochure automatically printed with a quote to help sell the asset. More related to safety, it would help if the software automatically printed the operating instructions and safety information to accompany a delivery ticket. The more information an operator has, the less likely an accident will occur due to user error.

Business Alerts / Mobile Working

Business alerts allow you to have the system automatically notify an individual when an action is processed in the system. For example, when a piece of equipment is brought in off-rent, an email can automatically be generated to the Service Manager to let him know that something needs his attention. There are literally hundreds of actions that can trigger an email to be sent and keep everyone “in the know” to prevent things from “slipping through the cracks.” Our Mobile Working functionality allows the end user to send push messages to other personnel that can retrieve the information via their smart phone or tablet. There are a lot of features in this area of the system, but the important safety benefits are speed and minimizing human error. For example, pushing a pick ticket to a yard worker’s device allows him to scan the proper piece of equipment without having to read someone’s handwriting. In-turn, the yard worker doesn’t have to handwrite the serial number of the selected piece of equipment. So, the process is fast, seamless and eliminates the guess work. Accidentally allocating the wrong piece of equipment to a contract could have serious safety consequences.

It’s important that inspHire utilize the latest technology to help customers keep their equipment in top working order, keep track of important documents, take advantage of reporting tools and dashboards to spot trends and track exceptions, and keep everyone “in the know” with automated report deliveries, business alerts and dashboards.

If you have a requirement that is important to you, please let us know about it. We take our customer requests very seriously, so please reach out to me and I’d love to hear your ideas and any questions you may have.

This lamp is very useful, and can be used as a great light source. There is a wood base that is a great place to put sticky notes or papers.

Step 1: Get the Materials

Here is a list of parts that you will need:

7 diodes
2 CDs
7 100 ohm resistors
USB cord
1" PVC Pipes
2 PVC Elbows
Block of wood
Electrical tape

Step 2: Put Holes in CD

Drill 7 holes around the outer part of the CD. Make sure that the holes are the same size as the diodes so they will fit in easily. The holes should all be an equal distance apart.

Step 3: Making the Circuit

Put your diodes in the holes in the CD, and make sure the flat side is facing out. On the longer of the two wires of the diode, twist on a 100 ohm resistor. Bend the wires with the resistors towards the center of the CD, while the other wire will bend out to the side. Take a long, separate wire and strip it if needed. Twist it around the wires of the diodes that do not have a resistor. Make sure that wire does not touch the wire of the resistor. After connecting the wire to each diode, keep the extra wire hanging off. Do the same with all the resistors connected. Solder each connecting wires. Makes sure the wires of the inner and out circle do not touch each other and cover any wire with electrical tape. Tape another CD  on top of the CD with the circuit on it.

Step 4: Connect USB to Circuit

First you will strip the red and black wires in the USB cord. The wires are very small and fragile so be careful. With the remaining wire of the inner and outer circles, you will connect the inner circle wire to the red and the outer circle wire to the black. You can twist the wires together and then solder the wires together for the red and black.

Step 5: Super Gluing

Drill a small hole at the bottom of the long PVC to allow the wire to go through. Super glue a long PVC pipe to the PVC elbow. To the elbow, super glue a small PVC pipe piece. On to that superglue another PVC elbow. Take your USB cord and insert the USB adapter through the last elbow and down the pipe. Super glue the top of the CD to the elbow. When everything in super glued, super glue the bottom of the PVC pipe to the block of wood and make sure it is sturdy standing up. Make sure the wire goes through the hole at the bottom of the pipe.

Step 6: Plug in Your Lamp!

Finally, test to see if your lamp works by plugging it in! You can either plug it into an outlet with an adaptor or plug it into a computer for traveling needs. Congratulations, you have just successfully made an LED CD lamp! Go show your friends your new awesome creation!

My Love Affair With Kimchi: Fashion Week, And HY Dance Studio

Korea is truly one of my favorite cities in the world. I have been to Korea three times over the last 2 years. Each time more amazing than the last. Korea has been an amazing creative outlet. I’ve always strived to travel on my own path. Creating your own lane is essential. It’s easy to get caught up thinking there is specific path you need to follow to achieve your dreams. Korea has really expanded my mind on where I see myself as a director, creative director, choreographer, teacher, and human.

Seoul Fashion Week:

A major goal of mine was participating in fashion week. Seoul Fashion week is ranked amongst the best in the world. This year I got to collaborate with R.Shemiste. R.Shemiste is leading contemporary high fashion and street wear brand. Their style is eclectic, unique, and inspiring. The designers are Won-Ji Yeun and Lee Jooho.

R.Shemiste is the first brand in Seoul to collaborate with a black female dancer. My film Black Girl Business was an ode to women of color shattering glass ceilings.

Fashion week really opened my mind to what I am capable of as a creative director. I cannot wait to create more work alongside R.Shemiste. Fashion week changed my perception on the way art needs to presented.

HY Dance:

Screen Shot 2018-03-26 at 4.34.19 PM.png

During all three of my trips I’ve taught at HY Dance Studio. My good friend William is the owner and creative director of HY dance studio. HY & H-Dance community have been an open places for me to share my thoughts, feelings, and dance moves. The community at HY is amazing. I cannot thank my friend William enough. He is an extremely generous and gracious host. William has become one of my dearest friends. I truly value Korea and Korean culture. HY dance studio is on the way to becoming one of the premiere centre’s for learning in Seoul. I cannot wait to return to Korea.

iSmiles Irvine Orthodontist

What To Look Out For In Braces Treatment Contracts

In this edition of Friday Focus, Dr. O El-Hillal from iSmiles Orthodontics, your Irvine Orthodontist, discusses some of the sneaky tricks orthodontists can use to hide fees in braces treatment contracts.

“Only $99 DOWN to start treatment” sounds like a great deal, but be warned that lower costs up front do not always equate to lower costs for total treatment. In this example, you may be signing up for an open-ended contract that can cost you big time in the end.

Always ask the question, “What is the ultimate goal of your treatment costs?”

If you’re set up to pay $99 a month for a plan that costs $4000, that works out to 40 months of treatments. Do you want to be in a prolonged contract, where the orthodontic office is compelled to set up additional monthly appointments to get that $99 payment.

It is a sneaky trick any patient could fall for if they don’t ask the right questions up front.

Then there’s the “You ran over your treatment time” scenario, which translates into “We need to charge you more money.”

Here, an orthodontist might give you a 2-year treatment timeline to produce that perfect smile. If the results take more than 2 years – for any reason – you can be charged for every additional month it takes until your treatment is finished.

To add insult to injury, you could be told the reason you’ve surpassed your estimated treatment timeline is “your lack of cooperation”. You may have missed a few appointments, thinking it’s not a problem, and then all of a sudden you’re hit with unexpected costs at the end of your treatment plan.

Orthodontic treatment contracts take many different forms. Sometimes a contract is set up by “length of treatment” as a way to break costs down. You may be charged for 12 months of treatment vs. 18 months of treatment, or something like 24 or 36 months.

With all of the new advances in treatment technologies, I think this model is thankfully fading away. Today, you’re paying for results vs. the length of treatment.

iSmiles Orthodontics is results driven and our contracts are set up that way. If your treatment plan should take 24 months to achieve and we can’t deliver that perfect smile in 30 months, there is no additional charge. Our patients always know, up front, what their treatment plan is going to cost – with no hidden fees.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring and Mapping During Surgery for Brainstem Tumors in Children

Role for IOM

Although it is limited compared with modalities used for supratentorial or spinal cord surgery, IOM has a central role in the resection of brainstem tumors. Its use enables the mapping of cranial nerve nuclei and thereby facilitates the identification of “safe” entry zones to the brainstem intraoperatively.

Anesthesia in the Setting of Brainstem IOM

As with other forms of IOM, the modalities being followed are critically sensitive to the effects of anesthesia. It is important to maintain adequate communication with the anesthesia team throughout surgery to ensure adequate feedback from IOM. Basic principles include:

  • Ultra-short-acting paralytics limited to induction: The use of paralytics during intubation is acceptable but should be avoided intraoperatively due to adverse effects on MEPs.
  • Constant infusion IV agents for steady state of anesthesia: A continuous infusion IV anesthetic agent (e.g., propofol, fentanyl) is preferable.
  • Knowledge and avoidance of agents that degrade IOM: Hypothermia, inhaled halogenated anesthetic agents, and intermittent injection of intravenous anesthetics should be avoided.

Brainstem Mapping

Brainstem mapping is a technique for mapping cranial nerve nuclei on the floor of the fourth ventricle.  Brainstem mapping is useful for surgical approaches to the pons in the midline or when addressing tumors extending into the fourth ventricle. Brainstem mapping is not useful for ventrally or laterally located lesions.

  • Localization of motor cranial nerves: Brainstem mapping allows for intraoperative localization of motor pathways of CN VII (orbicularis oris and oculi), IX (posterior pharyngeal wall), XI (cricothyroid or vocalis muscle), and XII (intrinsic tongue muscles) (37, 38, 98). Starting with a current of 2.0 mA, a monopolar or bipolar probe is applied to an area of interest for no longer than 5 seconds and is moved at 1-mm intervals with successively decreased current levels to create a functional map of the floor of the fourth ventricle.
  • Distortion of anatomy by tumor mapped: Stereotypic distortions of the nucleus of CN VII have been described for tumors involving the pons (98). This nucleus can be shifted rostrally or caudally depending on its anatomic relationship to the tumor.
  • Update map during resection: Repeated mapping can be used to assess changes in relative location of critical nuclei as the surgery progresses.
  • Limitations must be kept in mind: Limitations of brainstem mapping include disruption to the flow of surgery, as resections must be stopped to remap, and the inability to assess afferent pathways associated with a given cranial nerve.

Corticospinal and Corticobulbar Tract Monitoring

Cranial nerves can be monitored: Corticobulbar tract or cranial nerves are directly stimulated and the muscles innervated by the motor branches of cranial nerves VII, IX, X, and XII. The goal of corticobulbar tract monitoring is through the multi-synaptic pathway. Care must be taken, however, as the muscles can be stimulated through either direct cranial nerve stimulation or the multi-synaptic pathway.

  • Deterioration in cranial nerve and extremities MEPs correlates with postoperative paresis: Within the limitations of the technique, MEPs of the corticospinal tract can be used for monitoring descending motor tracts during resections of brainstem tumors. Instead, both reversible and irreversible changes in corticospinal tracts and corticobulbar tracts can predict new postoperative motor deficits (39).

Somatosensory Evoked Potentials and Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials

  • SSEPs and BAEPs of limited use in monitoring: Combined, SSEPs and BAEPs monitor only about 20% of the brainstem and therefore have a limited role in surgery for intrinsic brainstem lesions (40). SSEPs can be normal throughout an entire procedure despite the occurrence of brainstem injury and postoperative deficit (39). Additionally, the information is not in real-time given that the acquisition of the number of potentials needed for averaging can result in up to a minute of delay.
  • Useful for understanding surgery’s impact on sensory function: Despite defined disadvantages, SSEPs and BAEPs are easily obtained, providing additional data points reflective of brainstem function.

Dynamic ice: Dynamical control on the response of Pine Island Glacier (iSTAR C)

Principal Investigator: Professor David Vaughan, British Antarctic Survey

Our science challenge

Pine Island Glacier is one of five glaciers in West Antarctica that are currently contributing to sea-level rise at a significant and accelerating rate. This glacier flows into a vast floating ice shelf in the Amundsen Sea.  This ice shelf is getting thinner and, as a consequence, the glacier is flowing faster into the sea. This thinning effect is now being seen ‘upstream’ on Pine Island Glacier’s trunk and tributaries, but this thinning is not the same everywhere.

Our research goal

We need to understand the processes that are responsible for transmitting the effect of thinning of the floating ice shelf upstream.  We need this knowledge to be able to predict the future magnitudes of ice-thinning rates for the glacier.

Our mission on the ice

During two Antarctic summer field seasons (the first beginning in November 2013) we will mount an ambitious over-ice crossing by tractor train.  We will deploy radar and seismic technologies to investigate the variation in ice-flow from the ice shelf up the glacier and into its tributaries.  We will measure the properties (rock-type and water-content) of the bed beneath several locations on Pine Island Glacier to determine their influence on the propagation of thinning. We will test the hypothesis that it is these bed conditions that are responsible for the fact that the tributaries of Pine Island Glacier appear to be thinning at different rates.

Ground-based radar and seismic technologies will produce images of the bedrock beneath the glacier.  Satellite remote sensing technology will allow us to measure the changing configuration of the glacier in areas that we cannot access on the ground.

The part of the glacier currently affected by thinning contains sufficient ice to raise global sea-level by around 25 cm – its closest neighbour accounts for another 50 cm. Given the rate of ice-loss and the potential implications for sea-defence planning there is a clear requirement to understand and predict the future of Pine Island Glacier and its neighbours.

Our research outcomes

The measurements we make on the ice will be used to verify computer simulations of past changes in the flow of Pine Island Glacier, and to drive simulations of future changes.  Together with the iSTAR project Ice Loss, we will develop more certain forecasts about the contribution of Pine Island Glacier to future sea-level rise.  In this way we will contribute to improved models not only of Pine Island Glacier, but of all similar glaciers that drain West Antarctica.

Public Interest Factors

Considering the Public Interest, ITC May Permit Some Imports Essential for Ongoing Medical Research

Section 337 is a trade remedy that exists on top of the remedies available under the patent law, and it is not only acceptable but desirable for the ITC to limit exclusion orders that could harm other interests, whether that's life saving medical research or general economic welfare.

Public Interest Comments: Qualcomm v. Apple and the Law of Patent Remedies

Arguments about how to apply the public interest factors in Mobile Electronic Devices (Inv. 1065) aren’t just about iPhones or 5G or national security. They’re also part of a larger debate over the proper role of injunctive relief as a remedy for patent infringement.

The first step in effective incident response is to define an incident

(Image credit: Image Credit: Dotshock / Shutterstock)

Everyone would agree that it’s important to have a solid incident response plan in place, but such a plan is possible only when everyone agrees on the definition of an “incident”. Without a commonly understood definition, response will never be as effective as it could (and should) be.

In many ways, whether something qualifies as an incident is subjective. What might be an issue with one company may be nothing to another, but that issue in question may amount to a significant loss of revenue or even company reputation. The same can be true within a company: For example, the CRM system going down may affect the sales team’s ability to seize revenue opportunities.

At the end of the day, however, a problem in one department—or for one employee—is a problem for the company. It’s for this reason that organisations must come to agreement on what defines an incident, who should deal with it and how.

Putting incidents in context

Generally speaking, an incident is an unplanned disruption or degradation of service that adversely affects internal and/or external customers. The team responsible for an affected system can address an incident. A major incident, meanwhile, requires collaboration between multiple teams and business units such as ITOps, DevOps, customer support, sales, security or marketing.

Incident response refers to the process by which organisations deal with issues that have exceeded a specified parameter of normal operations. The main goal of incident response is to limit the negative impact caused by an incident and to reduce the time and money it takes to resolve the matter. Equally important, incident response involves retroactively analysing the event to ensure that the issue that caused the problem doesn’t occur again in the future.

There are many steps involved in setting up an incident response system and team—not to mention establishing a culture focused on collaboration to mitigate the overall impact--but one of the most important steps is determining what defines an incident at your organisation.

Indeed, during any given time frame, unexpected things are bound to happen. This is especially true given the pace of the digital workplace, where failing—and recovering—fast are all a part of smart business.

Therefore it can be challenging to distinguish between day-to-day operational maintenance issues and customer-impacting incidents—not to mention determining what constitutes a “major” incident.

Classifying incidents

It is important to have a scale that can be used to measure the severity of an incident—a set of pre-defined guidelines for determining whether an incident is minor, major or somewhere in between. ITOps, DevOps and development teams use these measurements to guide the actions they take to address the problem.

One way incidents can be classified is by severity. This is usually done by using "SEV" definitions, with lower-numbered severities being more urgent:

Here is a sample severity scale ranging from 1 to 5.

  • Level 1 Severity: A critical issue that warrants public notification and collaboration with executive teams
  • Level 2 Severity: A critical system issue actively impacting many customers’ ability to access services
  • Level 3 Severity: Stability or minor customer-impacting issues that require immediate attention from service owners
  • Level 4 Severity: Minor issues requiring action, but not affecting customer ability to use the product.
  • Level 4 Severity: Minor issues requiring action, but not affecting customer ability to use the product.

When developing severity levels for your own organisation, be specific and metrics-driven—for example, referring to percentage of users and accounts affected.

Responding to incidents

Using the metrics above, any Level 1 or Level 2 incident would be considered major.

Severity levels can help companies quickly—and more objectively—put an incident in context so it can then determine how to deal with it.

Generally speaking, the more severe an incident, the more extreme the response. For example, a SEV 5 incident may require only the submission of a help ticket. A SEV 1 incident, on the other hand, might warrant notification to all internal stakeholders, as well as to customers and even the general public.

Determining severity levels, and appropriate response at each of the levels, is key to effectively defining “incident” for your organisation. But it’s also important to note that few things in business—or in life—are well defined. Things will happen that don’t fit neatly into your SEV levels. If you think it’s an incident, chances are it is indeed an incident. What’s important is to figure out whether it’s major; if so, it’s better to err on the side of caution and rank it higher rather than lower on the SEV scale. After all, it’s easier to scale back response than it is to scale up.

Preventing incidents

While it’s true that incidents happen, and that the way in which an organisation responds provides a measure of its resiliency and agility, the ultimate goal is to prevent an incident in the first place.

Organisations whose key stakeholders have collaborated to effectively define and classify incidents will likely find themselves responding to incidents less and less frequently over time.

For one thing, the discussions that go on across IT, dev and business to facilitate incident definition can shine a brighter spotlight on critical systems and the protections and optimisations that need to be in place to ensure availability and high performance.

Such discussions can also shine a new spotlight on systems whose criticality might not have been fully understood. For example, social media platforms might have been low on the priority list for IT and DevOps until marketing justified making the loss of social metrics systems a SEV 2 incident.

Incidents that do occur can also help companies prevent future incidents. Done right—with structure and positive intentions—an incident post-mortem enables organisations to improve future response, mitigate customer impact over time, and implement products, policies and people that will prevent incidents from occurring in the first place.

In a perfect world, an organisation’s incident response system would never be put into action. In the real world, incident response dictates how--and how well--an organisation keeps pace with the rapid pace of change and complexity in today’s business environment. Developing common understanding of just what determines an incident is the first step toward ensuring that companies not only keep but exceed that pace.

The feudal brewery, built according to the plans of the Schwarzenberg builder Jakub Maggi and with a major contribution by Pavel Ignác Bayer, has been standing at the place of Petr Vok´s Rosenberg armoury since the beginning of the 18th century. The complex of buildings was later expanded and modernized. It got its present layout in the latter half of the 19th century. The oldest reference to brewing in the town’s chronicles is as early as 1379 when there were as many as ten malt houses in Třeboň. At the end of the 15th century there were three breweries – at the castle, monastery and town. The trade name of the Třeboň brewery, Bohemia Regent, is inspired by the historic figure of Jakub Krčín of Jelčany, who was the regent of the Rosenberg domain. The local beer has gained numerous awards both at home and abroad. Pure ingredients, traditional Czech procedure and top modern technologies – are the foundation for good quality. One curiosity of the brewery is the stone fountain with beer taps, from which the Třeboň Regent beer is tapped at festive occasions.

Press release

Iveco simulator drives profit-focused decision making
Developed by Iveco specifically for the CV Show, the twin TCO simulators sit alongside each other at the heart of Iveco’s 864m² stand. Designed to replicate a Stralis Hi-Way dashboard, the simulators are pre-loaded with fuel consumption and running cost data for an array of heavy trucks from each of the seven principal manufacturers in the UK market.
Martin Flach, Product Director at Iveco, says: “The simulators enable us to compare TCO between our latest generation Euro VI Stralis tractor units and either a customer’s existing fleet, or Euro VI alternatives from other manufacturers.
“Every calculation is bespoke and can be based around a prospective customer’s precise operation – including their fleet size, the price they pay for fuel, annual mileage, vehicle operating weight and a whole host more.”
When Iveco launched its latest generation Stralis range, every aspect of the vehicle’s design and build was fine-tuned to ensure optimum fuel economy and the lowest TCO for the customer. With the introduction of Euro VI, Iveco says its TCO advantage has increased; thanks to the high efficiency selective catalytic reduction system known as ‘HI-eSCR’ which lies at the centre of its Euro VI engine solution.
Developed by engine partner FPT Industrial, Hi-eSCR enables Iveco to achieve Euro VI limits via a simplified after-treatment system and – unlike the majority of competitor solutions – without the use of EGR (exhaust gas recirculation).
“We are committed to reducing TCO and recognise in today’s ever challenging environment that operators need to achieve all-round efficiency. We believe we have developed the right Euro VI technical solution to offer a wide range of performance advantages to customers including weight reduction, optimised fuel consumption and increased durability thanks to a less complex, yet highly efficient, driveline.”
Flach adds: “The simulation is the first step in demonstrating the potential savings to customers, but following the show we’ll be working hard to follow these simulations up with the offer of a Stralis demonstrator from one of our dealers.
“Simulations as sophisticated as ours are all very well in an indoor setting like the NEC, but ultimately, we’re keen to let our product do the talking in a customer’s own fleet.”

Decommissioning FBR Monju: Processing of Fuel Assemblies Is Underway

On December 7, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) reported to the Safety Monitoring Team of the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) on the state of decommissioning the prototype fast breeder reactor (FBR) “Monju.”

FBR Monju

The decommissioning plan for the FBR, approved by the NRA at the end of March, comprises four stages. In the first stage, designated a period of removal of fuel (FY18 through 22), major items to be carried out include sampling of secondary system sodium, removal of fuel assemblies, and evaluations of pollution distribution.

The removal of Monju’s fuel assemblies consists of work to transfer the assemblies from the reactor core to a fuel storage tank outside the core (fuel removal), and then from that tank to a fuel pond (fuel processing and storage).

According to JAEA’s explanation at the meeting on December 7, the transfer of fuel assemblies from the tank outside the core to the fuel pond began at the end of August, but as of December 6, only 54 of the 530 assemblies had been transferred, and the target for completing processing of one hundred assemblies, which was initially set for mid-December, has been postponed until January 2019.

As of the end of November, a total of 64 “faults” or “phenomena” had occurred in the course of the work, which were corrected, with improvements reflected in the subsequent work.

Toward FY19 (starting in April 2019), when the processing of fuel assemblies will be in full swing, experience will be accumulated in maintenance related to sodium adherence. A five-team system will then be launched based on skills acquired using a three-team system.

Even More Pie: Pascale's Picks

November 05, 2010

Thanksgiving pie
When we were researching regional American pies for our Thanksgiving pie story, we called up Pascale Le Draoulec, author of American Pie: Slices of Life (and Pie) from America’s Back Roads, to find out her favorite slices across the country. Here's what she told us.

1. Apple–blueberry pie from Mammy’s Cupboard in Natchez, MS
“An amazing pie that sat high on its haunches and came with a bittersweet story, too.”

2. The late Emma Duarte’s olallieberry pie at Duarte’s Tavern in Pescadero, CA
“A slice of this pie after a bowl of their famous artichoke soup, and you’re a changed person.”

3. Laura Hansen’s huckleberry–peach pie from Loula’s Cafe in Whitefish, MT
“Laura started making pie when she realized that rolling out dough soothed the pain in her hands and arms from multiple sclerosis.”

4. Lemon meringue pie at the Ranchman’s Cafe in Ponder, TX
“People are known to drive straight from the Dallas airport to Ponder for a slice of Evelyn’s rustic ‘cowboy’ pie.”

5. Sophronia Dyson’s mini sweet potato pies in Natchez, MS
“She sells them on the banks of the Mississippi in Natchez—right where the steamboats dock.”

Parker Jotter

Parker Jotter special box
photo © J. Newton

In Goldeneye (1995) Q-Branch supplies Bond with a Parker Jotter pen that is a C4 grenade: three clicks arms the four-second fuse, another three disarms it. A classic pen, still widely available.

Maybe the most useful and affordable James Bond gadget around! The Jotter has a stainless steel cap, barrel and button with chrome coloured trim. At the time of the movie, a special edition of this Parker Jotter was available in a unique 007 gift box, see the photo on the left.

In SkyFall (2012) other Parker pens are used by M.

Product Code:

click 3 times bryan

So this is a c4 grenade?

very nice pen actually, even though its not really a grenade of any class. Great pen, very durable for military service.

Good pen. Smooth ink. isn't as dark as I'd like it to be. It is a little small, and it gets slippery, so it is not Ideal for in class essays.

Great pen I use mine everyday and have for years even before GE came out. Someone posted that they were no longer going to make the all stainless version, I stocked up on some and like keeping a few extra around.

I have a few, they're good, but what else can you really say about a pen? The $10 store models don't contain C4 but I guess the upside to this is you can get them on planes. Buy it.

they're all I write with now, love 'em. I recommend the Gel ink refills, they're a lot smoother.

My mate trick or treated me on halloween and i pulled out the parker. 3 clicks and he was away leaving his stash with me.
Great pen. the pen truly is mightier than the sword. Ha Ha

The Parker Jotter is a very good pen, I have a half plastic, half stainless steel Jotter and I have it for ages. The Parker ink is the best I have ever wrotten.
If you buy one you would never get dissapointed with it.
I love Parker pens.

The Parker Jotter now on sale is very slightly different to the models available in 1995. The steel button used to have a flat top with a very small ridge but now has a slightly rounded top. It's a very minor difference though (and an improvement)
Great pen, although I like the aftermarket gel refill better than the Parker brand refill. Parker Gels fail my wash test, and aren't always as smooth. Still Parker Jotters are a great pen, though I liked the flat cap better. In younger days, I could make my Jotter stand up on the flat cap while traveling on the high speed rails of France and Germany. Real cosmopolitan memories.
I have mine for about 4 years. Always using the Parker original Black Thin Refill. Very good writing, very smooth. My pen of choice for my life, My best friend used it for signing his marriage certificate.
My bf had one but someone at his school stole it. Does someone know where i could buy one ?

Building a Planter Box using West System

By Brian L. Knight

My wife gave me the basic guidelines for a planter box she wanted me to build. First, keep it cheap. Second, she wanted an "L" shape. Third, she provided some rough dimensions. The design was up to me. Logic seems to abandon me when I design something, and this project was no exception. A nice, straightforward box with square corners should have been the default. But after some doodling on paper, I decided to build a planter with flared sides and rounded corners.

First, the inexpensive part
I looked around my shop and found a scrap of ¾" treated plywood left over from another project. This made a good bottom for the planter. I found enough ¼" lauan plywood to make the sides, and I made the molds for the curved corners from an empty cardboard shipping tube. As for the design, I decided on a flare of 15° for the sides and a radius of 2⅝" (the radius of the shipping tube) for the corners.

The bottom
On the sheet of ¾" treated plywood, I drew the "L" shape, using the dimensions specified by my wife. For the round corners, I used the cardboard shipping tube to lay out the curve. The edges of the plywood base have a 15° bevel to provide the flare for the sides. I cut all the straight line sections on my table saw and sawed the round corners with a saber saw set at a 15° angle.

The sides
I ripped the ¼ lauan plywood into pieces about 15" wide (tall) to make the sides of the planter. Because the sides are leaning out 15°, the plywood sides are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. I set the miter gauge on my saw to 75° to cut the ends of the lauan pieces. These pieces were glued to the 15° bevel previously cut on the bottom piece with a uniform gap left at the corners. The sides were also filleted to the bottom to provide additional surface area for the glue joint.

The corners
The gap at all the corners would be filled by laminated fiberglass; however, I needed a temporary mold to bridge the gap between the plywood sides and give the proper curved shape to the corners. I sawed sections of the shipping tube long enough to be used as male molds. I applied packaging tape to the cardboard for mold release, but cooking parchment paper or waxed paper would have worked just as well. I cut the bottom of the tubes to approximately 23°, so they rest on the bottom piece. Masking tape secured the sections of tubing at the top and one drywall screw in the bottom (Photo 1).

1-The planter began as sheets of ¼" lauan plywood temporarily connected by sections of 5¼" diameter cardboard shipping tube at the corners. The shipping tube held the plywood sides in position while acting as a mold for laying up permanent fiberglass corners.

I applied a thick mixture of WEST SYSTEM® epoxy resin and 410 Microlight™ filler to the taped surface and applied 6" fiberglass tape to the wet mixture. I smoothed the fiberglass with my hands to distribute the 105 epoxy resin and 410 filler evenly below the cloth (Photo 2) and applied neat epoxy to finish wetting the cloth. After allowing the coated fiberglass to cure, I feathered the edges of the tape and applied one layer of 6 oz cloth to the entire outside of the planter, followed by several coats of neat epoxy to fill the weave of the cloth. This layer of cloth ties the entire box together (Photo 3). When the epoxy cured, I faired the outside of the planter with lots of sanding. I drilled several ¾" drain holes in the bottom (Photo 3) and later glued on wood pads so the planter would have a little air circulating under it (Photo 6).

2-The ¼" gap at the edge of the plywood sides was filled with thickened epoxy. A layer of glass tape was laid over the corner and smoothed into the thickened epoxy. The glass was then wet out with epoxy and the edges were sanded smooth when cured.

3-After the mold/tubes were removed, a layer of 6oz cloth was applied to the exterior. Holes were drilled in the bottom for drainage.6-Blocks were glued to the bottom for air circulation and the sides were glued to the trim.

At the top edge of the planter, I trimmed the excess fiberglass and ground the corner pieces even with the plywood edge (Photo 4). To prevent moisture from attacking the plywood, I coated the inside surfaces with a couple of coats of epoxy.

4-Excess glass was trimmed flush with the edge of the plywood, and the interior was given a couple of coats of epoxy.

5-The top trim was made from redwood with cedar corners. The square cedar corner blocks were fastened to the end of the redwood strips with biscuits. The blocks were later trimmed to shape and the edges of the entire trim assembly were eased with a round-over bit.

Next, I fabricated and installed the top trim that covered the raw edges of the plywood and fiberglass. It was made from redwood with cedar corners for contrast (this was the one area where I departed from my wife's original specification of "cheap"). To rough-out the trim ring, I cut square corner blocks and fastened them to the end of the redwood strips with biscuits (Photo 5). The square blocks made installing the biscuits much easier than trying to work with rounded corners. The blocks were later rounded with a saber saw and the edges of the entire trim assembly were eased with a ¼" radius round-over bit. Epoxy fillets fastened this assembly to the planter sides (Photo 7).

7-When the planter was properly positioned, the sides were attached to the trim with short fillets.

I coated the top of the planter with 105 epoxy resin and WEST SYSTEM 207 hardener and then varnished with 3 coats of Captain's™ 1015 Spar Varnish. The sides were painted with the house paint I use on the trim of my house (Photo 8).

8-The finished planter. The trim was coated with 105/207 epoxy and finished with spar varnish.

In the neural classroom, is it the student who will reform the teacher, or shall it be the other end of the stick?

In the ready arts, men have comedy to show the folly of life, and tragedy to show the uncertainty, but there must be subversive, third possibility…what might it be…what might it be called…should one look to his typewriter, or to his shoe leather?

One of the newer members I met at the last Ole Sorehead’s Conclave told a group of us standing around in the hall the preceding – I mean of course, the following: “I hear tell of some people saying they want to ‘feel better about themselves,’ and others saying they just ‘want to feel better,’ and I say if they can tell the difference, they never will.”

Is change most enchantingly executed when it is done through movement in time, or in space?

I would not be all that surprised to find that by now some of you doubt the whole validity of my travel tales, but here is one more that I assure you is as right as the fins on a Cadillac:  There’s a small planet, not too far from where you stand, whose creatures' best and brightest say that, “Nothing’s believed till it’s said.”  (I ask you – could I make up something like this?)

I leave you with this:  One of my relatives once described this kinda suff as, "trying to make alligators out of hand bags."

U.S. plans to pump dollars into Venezuela if Maduro falls, as it talks with Guaido on rescue strategy

The Trump administration is considering pumping dollars into Venezuela through banks, smartphones and apps if the regime of Nicolas Maduro fails, President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser said.

The U.S. is already in talks with Juan Guaido — the Venezuelan opposition chief the U.S. has recognized as the nation’s leader — to develop an economic rescue and restructuring plan for the country that could begin immediately, should Maduro step down or be deposed, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Wednesday at an event in Washington hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

The U.S. is planning to employ “banks, iPhones, apps and many clever ways to get cash in there,” Kudlow said. “And the cash will not be bolivars, it will be dollars. At least in the beginning so there’s no demand for bolivars.”

The U.S. Treasury, the National Security Council, NEC and International Monetary Fund are all working on the plan, he said, adding that the White House “will move rapidly” with if leadership changes.

Oil-rich Venezuela is reeling from hyperinflation, hunger and rolling blackouts that make daily life miserable for residents in rural towns and major cities alike. Maduro, however, insists that the country’s woes are not the result of poor governance but sabotage orchestrated by his opponents at home and abroad.

The U.S. has explicitly warned against harming the opposition leader and has stepped up sanctions on Venezuela and the regime’s officials.

Alternative Energy

JEA is embracing a brighter energy future. From solar and wind power to biomass and methane gas, JEA is diversifying our electric generation to include a variety of renewable energy sources. So much so, that our new Energy Mix Policy aims to have up to 30 percent of JEA’s power provided by carbon-neutral sources by 2030. For more details on the mix delivered to our customers, please see our Power Source Disclosure

Solar Power

Since 1999, JEA has been in the vanguard of clean energy efforts in Florida, demonstrating innovative leadership by pioneering the adoption of renewable energy. And we’re just getting started: Building on our long history of supporting solar power, JEA is embarking on a major solar expansion – one that will make Jacksonville one of the leading solar cities in the nation. Learn more about JEA’s solar initiatives.

Methane Gas

Through a power purchase agreement with Landfill Energy Systems (LES), JEA receives 15 MW of energy from landfill gas-to-energy facilities. Trail Ridge is one of the largest landfill gas-to-energy facilities in the Southeast, providing enough renewable energy to supply electricity to approximately 4,550 homes. JEA currently makes all of the environmental attributes (Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs) from this facility available to sell in order to lower rates for our customers.

JEA signed an agreement in 2005 with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) to participate in a wind generation project located in Ainsworth, Nebraska. Under the purchase agreement, we buy 10 MW of capacity from NPPD’s wind generation facility. In turn, NPPD buys back the energy at specified on/off peak charges. JEA retains the rights to the environmental attributes (renewable energy credits, or RECs), and currently makes all of these RECs available to sell in order to lower rates for our customers.

Biomass is organic material made from plants and trees. It’s considered a renewable energy source, because we can grow more trees and crops, and waste from these organic materials will always exist. Some examples of biomass fuels are tree cuttings, wood, crops, manure and some garbage. When burned, the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat. JEA has a facility to use biomass as a fuel source, but is currently not producing energy this way because of City rules and regulations.

Renewable Energy Certificates

Each year JEA chooses to sell a portion of the renewable electricity (in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates, or RECs) generated from the renewable facilities in our portfolio. These sales are to entities outside of the municipality, who wish to purchase renewable energy but may not be able to readily purchase it through their electric utility. A REC represents 1,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity generated - meaning for every 1,000 kWhs of electricity produced from a renewable generator, one REC is created. Electricity stripped of RECs, such as solar energy sold to specific customers, is no longer considered renewable as that electricity's environmental attribute has been sold. Revenue from the sale of RECs is used to offset the higher cost of renewable generation.

Product Description

This 3-movement composition was composed in 2007 and dedicated to Eugene Rousseau. Movements 2 and 3 were based on Gliere's Intermezzo and Tarantella, originally for Double Bass solo, composed in 1900. Significant reworking of the solo part was done to better fit the saxophone. A completely new movement was added (movement 1) based on Gliere's style. The concerto is scored for versions with orchestra or band accompaniment as well as the piano reduction listed here. Claude Delangle, Professor of Saxophone, Paris Conservatoire, says "I have played many times during the two last concert seasons David DeBoor Canfield’s saxophone work, Concerto after Gliere with huge success, not only among the audience, but also among saxophone colleagues attending. They immediately took note of David’s name for their future concert programs, a very good sign for his European recognition!"

This is an exciting work and one of Canfield's most popular. Duration approximately 22 minutes.

A little about acupuncture:

Simply put, acupuncture treatments feel amazing!  When is the last time you went to the doctor's office and actually felt more relaxed immediately after leaving?  Yes, acupuncture does use tiny needles, but we are talking teeny tiny, the width of a hair.  Most first timers to acupuncture cannot believe how "it doesn't even hurt".  The needles are so thin they bypass the skin's pain receptors and go right to accessing the  healing energy of your body.  In addition, acupuncturists are trained for two years before even using a needle with a patient and then an additional two years practicing acupuncture in a supervised clinic before taking board exams for national licesensure.

Acupuncture works with the body's natural ability to heal itself.  It's similar to when you get a cut, the body knows exactly what to do without your thinking about it.  The body is an intelligent system and with acupuncture we can work with it.  There are over 365 acupuncture points on the body that are used in Chinese medicine.  Points are selected unique to the individual and condition.  Each point will work with a different organ system and deliver a message of how to function properly.  For example, there is a commonly used point on your leg to strengthen your digestive system and clear foggy headed fatigue.

You will likely experience positive change after your first treatment, but you will see effective and lasting results sticking with acupuncture regularly for a series of treatments.  We want to keep consistently delivering the message to the body to establish new patterns of functioning before your body has time to return to the old way of being (see chart below).  The number of treatments varies by factors such as age, how long you've had the condition, and lifestyle additions such as diet and herbs.  Treatments are usually recommended weekly until the symptoms have stabilized.  At that point, treatments may be continued weekly until the condition is completely gone or start to be spaced out to bi-weekly for maintenance care.  Many patients continue to come in once a month even after they are completely symptom free because of how well their health and body feels with regular acupuncture.

what you need to know about acupuncture:

  • Over 365 acupuncture points on the body

  • Works with the natural intelligence and self-healing capacity of the body

  • Works best in a series of treatments

  • Feels amazing and relaxing

  • Does not hurt

  • Acupuncture needles are the width of a hair
