 What can I do to keep my telomeres healthy?

Telomeres (tiny bits of DNA that influence longevity and health) have been causing quite a stir among researchers lately—and for good reason. The length of these protective caps on the end of chromosomes determine how quickly cells age, and how prone we are to having a stroke or developing cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, vascular dementia, diabetes and osteoporosis. Essentially, the shorter your telomeres, the shorter your lifespan. And yet, we don't have to be at the mercy of our genetics. Have a look at the following tips which help foster strong telomeres—as well as resistance to disease and aging.
Diet - A pilot study at the University of California in San Francisco found that a diet high in plant-based protein, fruits and vegetables, and low in refined carbohydrates and fat (10 percent of total caloric intake), to be the best model for lengthening telomeres and preventing disease. Although Lawrence Wilson, M.D. firmly believes that anything which boosts glutathione in the body is helpful too—such as meat, eggs, cooked green vegetables and other sulfur-containing amino acid foods. When glutathione is present, oxidation is minimized. This in turn reduces damage to telomeres, thereby preserving, and perhaps encouraging, length.

 "What do you think about gender roles in dating and relationships?"

Do You Subscribe to Traditional Gender Roles in Dating and Relationships?
Over the weekend, I got into a debate with some folks about gender roles in dating and relationships. The discussion had all of us analyzing our stances on various things, including who pays for dates, who should be the breadwinner in the relationship, and whether or not it is OK for a woman to propose marriage to her male partner.
These may all seem like simple questions to answer, but there are variables that go along with them—variables that can make people’s answers differ based on who they are in a relationship with, how long the relationship has been going on, and whether or not they can see a long-term future with the person involved.
When you go out on a date, who pays—the man or the woman?
I will admit that I am a traditionalist on this one. In casual dating, I generally expect that if I am going out with a man, he is going to pay for the date. I always have my own money when I go out, as a rule, but when the check comes, I sit still and allow him to take it. How he handles the check situation will likely play a big role in determining whether or not I will go out with him again.
If he attempts to avoid looking at the check, waits to see if I will grab it first or even suggests that we split, he gets the side eye from me. That’s just how it is. If you ask me to go out with you, I am assuming that you are paying, or else why ask?
There are folks who say the exception to this rule is if the woman asks for the date, and on that I can agree—so I don’t ask men out on dates, because I don’t want to be in the position of paying in a casual dating situation.
I feel differently if I am in a long-term situation with someone.
In those types of scenarios, I am more inclined to offer to split the bill or just pay the bill outright sometimes because we have a bigger involvement than just casually seeing each other. I am more invested in the relationship, and therefore more invested in the person, so splitting the check or taking turns paying makes more sense to me—especially in cases where I make more money than my partner.
Is it acceptable for a woman to be the breadwinner in the relationship?
Men are traditionally seen as being providers and therefore the breadwinners in a relationship, but what happens when that is not the case? Are we comfortable with the idea of a woman making the most money? Can relationships work when a woman is the provider?
I have had this scenario happen more than once in my adult life, and it was always uncomfortable, for a number of reasons.
Men have a sense of pride that is unrivaled by anything else, really. Their egos can often drive them toward behavior that is harmful and even destructive.
I found this to be the case in a previous relationship in which I made more money. Not being able to afford the things that I liked made him feel some type of way. Having his “girl” pay for things that he felt he should have been paying for made him feel some type of way. My not necessarily needing him for financial or material things made him feel some type of way. It was exhausting.
The other side of the game is complacency. There are some men who are already generally unmotivated, and having a woman who has her own money and can afford to do things not just for herself but for them as a couple can lead to him never wanting more for himself.
Why should he, when she can do everything anyway? It’s crazy, but it happens.
What this has shown me is that in long-term situations, I need a man who is evenly yoked with me. It just creates less complications and less confusion.
Could there be exceptions to this? Absolutely, and when I run across them, I will tell you. Until then, if it comes down to a choice of me being the breadwinner or me being by myself, I’m going to choose self each and every time.
The idea that only a man should propose marriage is heavily steeped in patriarchy and the romantic ideals we have been sold by the capitalist spending program known as the wedding industry.
If a woman loves her man and wants to ask him to marry her, why shouldn’t she be able to? It doesn’t take anything away from him if she does.
The worst he can do is say no, and it’s the same risk a man takes in asking a woman.
Of the three topics we discussed, this is the one I couldn’t really wrap my head around, because I didn’t understand what the big deal was. Why can’t a woman propose? If there is a valid argument for why she shouldn’t, I have yet to hear it.
My stance on this is that it doesn’t matter who pops the question if both people are in love and want to move forward with the relationship.
Ask, answer and do what you will with it.
Even in the 21st century, gender roles play a big part in how we deal with our romantic relationships. We all have our different stances on them, and for the most part our minds won’t be changed—but it is an interesting and ongoing discussion that obviously needs to take place.
We will be discussing gender roles in dating and relationships when The Root After Dark Twitter chat returns on Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. I will take over The Root’s official Twitter account as always, and we will chop it up. Be sure to follow The Root on Twitter and be a part of the discussion using the hashtag #TheRootAfterDark.

 Hey, have you heard of bumper cars?

It's time to increase speed and hit your opponent, if you manage to dodge the blow you will become a master of the bumper cars. Choose a vehicle, turn on the lights and turn the disco ball, soon the fun will begin.
One of the great unknowns within the world of fairgrounds revolves around the exact origin of the bumper cars. Some claim that they were invented by Victor Levand, who came to work for General Electric, while others say that the creators were Max and Harold Stoehrer, of Massachusetts.
What is certain is that the Stoehrer brothers were the first to develop the patent for their bumper cars, created the 'Shock Company' at the beginning of the 20th century and brought to light their first model in 1920.
One of the properties of magnets is that they have the possibility of joining or repelling. If you apply it to this set, there could be two modes, a normal tracking mode, and another crazy mode, where the magnets repel each other looking for their best output.
After this small historical and technical pause, just tell you that the set includes the "Supercar circuit", 8 minifigures, a kitten, a crane and 5 bumper cars.
A set that I think ensures a lot of fun. Thank you very much for the visit, I hope I won your support.

 What is the reaction to Justin Trudeau being spotted jogging shirtless in Toronto?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted shirtless in public again when he went for a jog in Toronto on Thursday.
Following a meeting with newly elected Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Trudeau pounded the pavement near Cherry Beach wearing only a pair of shorts and baseball cap. The city reached a scorching 33 C with the humidex making it feel more like 43 C on Thursday afternoon.
Trudeau has made headlines in the past for going out in public without wearing a shirt; most notably, when he photobombed a wedding after surfing in Tofino, B.C. and when he took a selfie with a man who caught him hiking with his family in Quebec’s Gatineau Park.
The shirtless sighting in Toronto has caused a stir online with some detractors calling it a publicity stunt to divert attention from more important issues, while others welcomed the view.
Justin Trudeau spotted jogging shirtless at Cherry Beach.
1. Expected stunt from Trudeau #NAFTA & #TrudeauGrope issues.
3. Look at the security and the pollution generated on the hot day.
I'm a dedicated Liberal and a Trudeau supporter...but he can be completely embarrassing sometimes. I think he did the same thing in Van a while back didn't he? Jogging around with his shirt off, "accidentally" meeting up with people on his jog.

 Describe Karson Kuhlman's leadership style and impact.

BOSTON (CBS) — When you’re committed to drafting and developing talent in order to sustain a high level of competitiveness with your opponents and within your organization the way the Bruins are, you can never have enough leaders at the AHL level.
That’s a big reason why forward Karson Kuhlman earned a two-year contract with the Bruins as an undrafted free agent in April. At least as far back as his freshman year at Minnesota-Duluth, Kuhlman has excelled as a leader.
“Yeah, I mean it started with his work ethic, really,” said Adam Krause, who was the Bulldogs’ captain in Kuhlman’s freshman season and is now an assistant coach at UMD. “Even as a freshman you could tell. I think he was mature beyond his years a little bit. He was a guy that I never had to worry about. And he was very detail-oriented, very focused, and I think he still is. Right when I got to know him a little bit, I said this kid will be a one-year captain if not a two-year captain.
When Kuhlman got to Bruins development camp last month, he was coming off a banner year. The year started with him participating in the Bruins’ 2017 development camp as an invitee and then continued with him leading UMD to the NCAA championship. He had 20 points (13 goals, seven assists) in 44 games as a senior.
Not long after the season, Kuhlman signed with the Bruins and joined Providence. He had one assist in two regular-season games and then had an assist in one playoff game.
“Kind of stepped in there and learned a thing or two. So that was a great opportunity there,” Kuhlman said.
As a signed player this summer, Kuhlman was able to better let his leadership skill flourish at his second Bruins development camp. That figures to continue if he’s playing at Providence this season (or his leadership could even help a Boston lineup that seems to get younger every season). Kuhlman, who’ll turn 23 on Sept. 26, may not have any years on some of Boston’s top prospects and lacks pro experience at this stage, but his voice should be a complement to the likes of Jordan Szwarz and Colby Cave.
The Bruins didn’t sign the 5-foot-11, 185-pound right-handed shot just to be a leader. They liked his game as well. Jamie Langenbrunner, a boyhood idol of Kuhlman’s and the Bruins’ player development coordinator, watched Kuhlman closely for a while and could see the makings of a strong pro player.
“He’s a kid that plays a pro-style game in the way he positions himself, uses his body, gets pucks out on walls,” Langenbrunner explained.
Krause has the same impression of Kuhlman’s game and believes it could translate better to the pros than it did in college.
“I think the guys who do well in the pros are very into the details of the game and I think that’s probably his best attribute. Positionally if you watch him play, he’s so smart, I guess without the puck too, he never puts himself in a bad position … he sort of stays within himself, he knows what kind of player he is and it goes back to the maturity thing. It’s almost like he’s played pro before,” Krause said.
As far as influences on his leadership style go, Kuhlman credited Krause and another former UMD captain Andy Welinski, an Anaheim prospect, for showing him different ways to approach the role of captain. Krause recalled several text exchanges this past season when Kuhlman sought advice, which obviously paid off with the Bulldogs achieving their ultimate goal.
Krause said that Kuhlman crediting him for making an impact is “one of the highest compliments” he’s ever received because of the respect he has for Kuhlman. In the years ahead there could be several Bruins prospects giving credit to Kuhlman for being their mentor during a crucial time in their development, whether he’s leading in the AHL or the NHL.

 "What is the underlying cause for the symmetry of the diffusion process?" Respond in 40 sentences.

All theoretical and empirical diffusion studies agree that an innovation diffuses along a S-shaped trajectory. Indeed, the S-shaped pattern of diffusion appears to be a basic anthropologic phenomenon.
This observation dates as far back as 1895 when the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde first described the process of social change by an imitative “group-think” mechanism and a S-shaped pattern.1 In 1983 Everett Rogers, developed a more complete four stage model of the innovation decision process consisting of: (1) knowledge, (2) persuasion, (3) decision and implementation, and (4) confirmation.
Consequently, Rogers divided the population of potential adopters according to their adoption date and categorized them in terms of their standard deviation from the mean adoption date. He presented extensive empirical evidence to suggest a symmetric bell shaped curve for the distribution of adopters over time. This curve matches in shape the first derivative of the logistic growth and substitution curve as shown below.
In the graph above I applied the Rogers adopter characterization to the data we have on the adoption of smartphones in the US. The latest data covering September is included.
The fact that smartphones in the US follow the theory is exciting, but what can we conclude about the adoption of specific platforms? There has been quite a bit of turnover in the leadership of the market in the first half of the time frame given. You can see this more clearly in the following fractional market share transformation.
Note that, with the exception of the iPhone, if each platform is studied individually, it would not follow a logistic (i.e. linear) pattern even though, as a whole, the technology does.
This then is the big puzzle: while we might be able to predict how smartphones will diffuse into society, we can’t seem to predict how any single firm will fare. This means that an investor cannot make a credible “bet” on the technology2. If they choose a single company as proxy, chances are they will lose. If they bet on a basket of companies then, again, chances are they will lose. There is usually one unforeseeably clear winner.
Before we get further into the question of picking winners or predicting the future division of share among rivals, we should understand the underlying causes for this pattern of adoption.
Rogers concluded that the learning behavior of individuals is the underlying cause of the symmetry of the diffusion process.
At the beginning, when an individual is confronted with a new (learning) situation they make many mistakes. These mistakes are gradually reduced (by learning) over time because more and more information is received and acts as a stimulus. The gain in learning per trial is proportional to the product of the amount already learned and the amount remaining to be learned before the limit of learning is reached.
This is exactly equivalent to the F(1-F) transformation of the logistic curve. It should be emphasized that these properties of the learning process were found in real learning situations and are confirmed by a large number of laboratory and field experiments. Thus each adoption of an innovation in a social system is equivalent to a learning trial by an individual. Thus, the symmetric diffusion pattern results from the way messages about an innovation are emitted and processed by social learning.
So these observers of the process assign learning behavior as the cause for adoption of a technology. Can the learning behavior be applied to individual platforms? It’s tempting.
The hypothesis would go as follows: adopters are not only processing messages about the new technology but they are also trying different platforms as they enter and as they upgrade their phones. If we see platform choice as a learning process then if one platform has a natural advantage, it settles into a dominant position as users “learn” of its advantage. Conversely, if no platform has an advantage then platform “churn” repeats as rivals gain/lose positions of leverage in the market.
The pattern shown so far seems to point to Apple’s iPhone having a logistic pattern indicating that it might be benefiting from a learning pattern. The alternative platforms may simply be jockeying for temporary advantage.
It’s an interesting hypothesis. To be developed further we need to answer what any learnable advantage might be. I suspect it has to do with the ability to solve unmet and unarticulated needs. In other words, that the winning product solves a set of “jobs to be done” which are difficult to pin down and are perceived rather than defined.

 Describe the current state of Dublin's waste management. Respond in 13 sentences.

Latest figures show that the export of municipal waste has only been reduced by around 7% since the opening of Dublin's Poolbeg incinerator.
Industry experts say exports will continue to be high for years to come because of the lack of other thermal treatment plants.
The Poolbeg incinerator can burn 600,000 tonnes of waste a year and has been running at full capacity since last December.
However, figures from the TransFrontier Shipments Office show that 102,077 tonnes of black bin waste were exported in the first quarter of this year compared to 109,699 tonnes in the same period last year - a reduction of just 7,622 tonnes.
Kevin Swift, Regional Waste Co-ordinator for the Connacht-Ulster Region, said exports will continue to be high because infrastructure has not been developed to cater for the reduction in landfill capacity.
He said that, of the five remaining landfills, one in Co Kildare has had its capacity reduced and another in east Galway is due to close next year.
There were 29 landfills in 2007 according to Environmental Protection Agency figures.
Although two cement kilns have received permission to increase their waste burning by 130,000 tonnes a year, it will take some time for the expansions to come into effect.
A decision is still awaited on Indaver's proposed incinerator in Cork.
Meanwhile, the Poolbeg incinerator received just over 67% of its waste from the four Dublin local authority areas.
A spokesperson for operators Covanta pointed out that the Dublin Waste To Energy Facility is obliged by its planning to accept waste "primarily" from the Dublin region.
The company added that the Dublin waste region no longer exists and has been subsumed into the Eastern Midlands Waste Management Region also covering eight other Leinster counties, and this region supplies 85% of the plant's waste.
The remaining 15% of waste going to Poolbeg comes from the rest of the country.

 Have you heard any updates on Juan Carlos Osorio's future?

Reports out of Mexico and the United States suggested and confirmed that Juan Carlos Osorio has ended his tenure as Mexico manager after rejecting an offer from FMF to renew his contract with the federation.
According to sources close to the Colombian técnico, Osorio already informed incoming FMF President Yon de Luisa of his decision to not renew his contract, citing the persistent admonishing he received after his side’s 7-0 defeat to Chile in the round of 8 of the Copa America Centenario.
The criticism focused on Osorio’s use of rotaciones and not selecting a range of players (the critics had thought) who could fill those positions. However, the criticism could have better pointed to Juan Carlos Osorio’s team’s’ strategic weak points in single-elimination knockout games despite their strengths over the gruel of multiple game round robin tournaments.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s El Tri can point to a fourth place in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, a World Cup qualification with only a solitary defeat in the entirety of El Tri‘s qualification campaign, and getting to the Round of 16 out of an unpredictable group where El Tri could have easily crashed out. Observers can also point to the more collective approaches to defending, possession, recovery, and attacking, while still allowing the attackers to play with the individualism, guile, and initiative that characterized them. These were approaches that helped earn several players, including Oswaldo Alanis and Nestor Araujo, moves abroad on transfer fees, while keeping established Europe-based stars like Andrés Guardado, Hector Herrera, Hirving Lozano and Miguel Layun in the spotlight. But a lot of the World Cup success came with a squad that featured only eight new players from the 2018 cycle.
Juan Carlos Osorio has been heavily linked to managerial gigs with the United States and Colombia national teams, stating his preferences are to manage the Cafetaleros in his recent round of interviews with several major Colombian television stations. The former job had been officially open for the entirety of 2018 with Dave Sarachan managing the team in a caretaker role, while the latter is currently occupied by Jose Nestor Pekerman, who himself had been linked to managing the Argentina national team.
Regardless as to where Juan Carlos Osorio ends up, the FMF is set to announce his departure in the coming days and the timeline on which the federation will conduct its search for a national team manager for the 2022 World Cup cycle.

 Describe the robot-assisted bicycle parking lots that are part of the pilot initiative by Minister of Transport and Intelligence Yisrael Katz.

The parking lots will optimize use of space, prevent thefts and damage, and replace staff.
Through Israel Railways, the Ministry of Transport today published a tender for robot-assisted bicycle parking lots at railway stations as part of a pilot initiative by Minister of Transport and Intelligence Yisrael Katz. The pilot is aimed at encouraging passengers to use bicycles to reach railway stations without putting the bikes on the trains.
Putting bicycles into railway carriages sometimes affects passenger service on the trains and prevents people with disabilities from using trains, because bicycle riders usually put their bicycles on the carriage accessible to the disabled, causing train delays and difficulty in meeting timetables.
Robot-assisted bicycle parking lots exist in European countries, such as Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, and the Netherlands. The use of robots facilitates optimal use of the space in the parking lot, prevents theft of and damage to bicycles, and facilitates rapid use of the parking lots without any human staff.
The franchise holders winning the tender will be responsible for building and operating the robot-assisted parking lots. Four parking lots, both elevated and underground, will be built in different places in Israel in the first stage: one underground parking lot each at the Savidor railway station in Tel Aviv and the Herzliya railway station and one elevated parking lot each in the Netanya and northern Beersheva railways stations.
Publication of the tender results is scheduled for early 2019. Construction of the elevated robot-assisted bicycle parking lots is to take a few weeks, while the underground parking lots depend on either existing or new infrastructure, and construction time is therefore not predetermined and will vary from one station to another.
The elevated robot-assisted parking lot can store up to 150 bicycles, while the underground parking lot can store over 200. Parking a bicycle on the robot-assisted parking lots will take only 15-20 seconds. Use of the lots will be through a special app, a website, or telephone customer service.
Bicycle owners will be identified through a personal transportation card or credit card. Cameras installed in the parking lots will document the deposit and release of the bicycles. Sensors will record the bicycles' dimensions and issue alerts of any possible disruption.
Katz said that the venture was designed to make the railway accessible to bicycle riders. He added that if the pilot is successful, the Ministry of Transport would publish tenders to build robot-assisted parking lots at other railway stations around Israel.

 Describe the situation surrounding Fabian Delph's transfer from Leeds United to Aston Villa in 2009.

Fabian Delph has spoken of his regret at playing only one full season for Leeds United and revealed how he thought his sale in 2009 would secure the repurchase of the club’s training ground.
The midfielder said he expected his departure to Aston Villa after just one year in United’s first team to provide the funds needed for Leeds to regain ownership of Thorp Arch with a deadline for buying the complex set to pass three months after his transfer.
Leeds, controlled at the time by chairman Ken Bates, held a buy-back clause having sold their training ground to Manchester businessman Jacob Adler during a financial crisis in 2004.
United required £6m to activate the clause before it expired in October 2009, a short time after Delph - their star academy product - was sold to Villa for around the same sum. The club, however, failed to meet the deadline and were refused a loan by Leeds City Council after Bates declined to reveal the identity of the individuals behind United’s ultimate owner, Forward Sports Fund.
The club continue to lease Thorp Arch and have paid in excess of £6m in annual rent since the buy-back clause elapsed. Current owner Andrea Radrizzani is pursuing a plan to leave Thorp Arch - the brainchild of ex-Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson - and build a new training ground in Holbeck, a short distance from Elland Road.
Delph was back at Leeds on Thursday night, featuring in England’s World Cup warm-up win over Costa Rica.
The Bradford-born 28-year-old returned to Elland Road briefly on loan from Villa in 2012 but made just 56 appearances for the club.
“I look back on them fondly,” he said. “I only played a season here and that was one of my regrets. I wish I’d played longer here but the circumstances at the time, the club needed to get some money.
“The plan was for me to go and then they buy back the training ground. I don’t think that happened but that’s what was in my mind and that’s what the case was at the time.
Delph’s impact at Villa was hampered by injury but Manchester City paid £8m to sign him in 2015 and he was an integral part of the team who won the Premier League title under Pep Guardiola this season, reinventing himself as a left-back.
“I still follow (Leeds’) results and I still keep in touch with people I grew up with,” he said.
“Lucy Ward (United’s former education and welfare officer) was fantastic for me, she helped shape my future. There were a lot of people and I’d be here all night if I gave them all a mention but I owe a lot to Leeds United.

 Describe the introduction of dockless scooters to Idaho.

The dockless scooter era in Idaho has begun.
Lime deployed its scooters in Meridian today, an official with the city confirms. The city has OK’ed rolling out traditional bikes and pedal assist bikes as well.
According to the Lime map, about 50 scooters were placed in the Downtown Meridian area, with another 50+ near the Village at Meridian and several more in other areas primarily along the Eagle Rd. corridor.
The Lime system works with a smartphone app. Users can locate an available scooter (or in the future, bike) on a map, get on and ride. They must verify they are over 18 by scanning in a driver’s license and agree to wear a helmet and follow traffic laws.
City of Meridian spokesperson Kaycee Emery said the city clerk’s office has already fielded a few calls from citizens today about the deployment. She said officials are guiding callers to Lime support with questions.
The scooters cost $1 to get going, then 15 cents per minute to ride. They top out at 14.8 MPH.
The assist bikes are like regular bikes, but provide an extra boost of power while you pedal – helping riders go as fast as 14.8 MPH as well.
Line advertised for contractors to earn up to $150 per night going around and charging the scooters up each day. The so-called Lime Juicers would go around collecting the scooters, charging them at home and redeploying them.
Cavener said Lime presented to the transportation commission on the spring and appeared before city council this summer. Lime and the company are working on a memorandum of understanding that is still forthcoming.
City of Boise was also approached by Lime and subsequently passed an ordinance placing a number of guidelines and restrictions on bike and scooter services, including limiting them to 750 total across all vendors, requiring a fee per bike or scooter – plus a licensing fee and deposit to assist with moving the vehicles if they are left in areas they shouldn’t be.
The scooters have been exploding in popularity across many American cities, but some city officials and citizens decry the clutter they bring to sidewalks and traffic obstacles they can present. Lime and competitor Bird have been working to find solutions to lessen some of the negative impacts.
At a BYP event earlier this month, Boise Mayor Dave Bieter said he had heard from other cities about problems caused by the dockless scooters and wanted to be proactive in addressing them before they came to the City of Trees.
Lime has not yet rolled out in Boise, but city spokesperson Mike Journee expect that to happen in mid-October.
Boise Green Bike, the docked bike system operated by Valley Regional Transit and subsidized in part by taxpayer dollars is concerned about the new dockless vehicles – which are not tethered to individual stations, are cheaper to use and could be more prevalent in number.

 Describe your thoughts and impressions of the bridge in the article.

Construction began in October 2001 and was intended to take three years, but dragged even longer because of weather conditions. The bridge was built by Eiffage, the same company that built the Eiffel Tower.
"The deck was pushed in two sections from both sides of the valley. Each push cycle lasted 4 minutes and moved the deck section 600mm a time."
From both sides of the valley the metal sections of the bridge are assembled, lifted slightly and then in an elaborate manoeuvre pushed into place on each of the seven supporting pillars. The architect, Norman Foster, said the bridge was designed to have the "delicacy of a butterfly"
World's Most Interesting Bridges, Part 1"
Absolutely amazing! I love bridge constrution. Thanks so much for these pics!
Wow. The world's most pointless bridge. Somebody obviously never heard a ramp.
I have been to Paris twice,1st time 2-1991 during the Gulf War and the 2nd 9 weeks after 9-11(to bad Sadam or Ben Laden could not be at Euro Disney on ThanksGiving Day). The people in Paris were great and I cant wait to see/travel on the Bridge (where's the confounded bridge?: Led Zepplin.
What a beautiful design and most functional + the fact of Britain & France making transportation solutions.
Oh my.I never thought that bridges can be built above clouds.Great engineering & nice info too.
What amazing photos ! I think it is quite scary to drive in that bridge, but for sure a wonderful construction work.
What amazing bridge ! Is it dangerous to drive there?

 Have you seen the recent news stories about Chevron and Ecuador?

In my last post, I wrote on the side of large corporations, encouraging forgiveness for well-intentioned but tone-deaf actions on the part of social good. That’s because Starbucks is a bastion of justice and equality when compared to deeply polluting, institutionalized evil as embodied in Chevron’s dealings in Ecuador.
This is not new news, but rather a recently resurfaced hydra head of the ages-long lawsuit of Chevron versus the Ecuadorian plaintiffs as represented by the Amazon Defense Coalition. This story, beginning in 1993, features Texaco-turned-Chevron drilling in Ecuador, systematically ignoring pollution and waste hazards, subsequently contaminating the land and water so badly that Ecuadorian residents are still suffering from it. Ecuador’s 1993 class-action lawsuit against Chevron has since bounced around in a really complicated fashion from court to court, as both sides have appealed any decision that did not come out in their favor.
In the videos, consultants hired by Chevron to do inspections of the area “keep finding petroleum where it’s not supposed to be,” as one of them joked. He and another inspector lightheartedly bicker back and forth about the inconvenience of finding contaminated soil cores even in the areas that they had specifically selected for off-site, supposedly clean sampling. After pulling up a few more samples so polluted that a simple sniff can detect petroleum, they call off the hunt and discuss plan B, which is “not beating it to death” with a rigorous lab test. The audio and transcript hint at unsurprised impatience for the discovery of oil in places that Chevron would later testify were clean — concern for the complications that might ensue for the legal process, but no concern for the effects on humans or land beyond Chevron’s own.
“The Chevron Tapes,” as people are calling them, were last aired in 2011, during a trial in Ecuador in which Chevron was ordered to pay 9.5 billion dollars in damages to the affected communities and the Amazon Defense Coalition, the group formed to represent them, as well as to help clean up their mess. The judge also ruled that this amount would double if Chevron did not issue a public apology to the affected groups in Ecuador. Not only did Chevron flip Ecuador the bird and refuse to pay, it also filed a civil suit against the group, claiming that their evidence was bunk. Chevron won that round last year and, the next appeal is set to be heard next Monday in New York.
What’s really frustrating, apart from the ongoing contamination in Ecuador that is lowering the living standards of residents in the affected areas, is how long the struggle has been allowed to play out. Following the bouncing court case from local to regional — from Ecuador to the United States to Canada — the tangled web of non-resolution shows that no one knows who can or should be the law enforcer for large international corporations, who wield their limited liability with a sneer and a joke.
If we have no cohesive mechanism to hold large corporations accountable for their actions, we’re going to get even more of this: perpetrators laughing in the face of pollution.

This is why the Conservatives and Neo-Liberals want the TPP passed so badly. The TPP will delete entire sections of US law and the Constitution itself, and make any kind of legal action, criminal or civil, against a corporate citizen illegal.
I think you’re right. A control mechanism is needed but at the same time, it looks as if the international corporations and conglomerates are succeeding in setting themselves above national governments and even international organizations such as the United Nations, the Vatican, and the like. We’re going to need a World Government with the capability of enforcement to pull those international businesses into compliance. It’s not happening. It’s not even likely to happen. And so they get to run rampant like a 19th century Belgian government in the Congo.
All the companies with CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility departments) are usually the most evil. It’s Fun Runs and Death Squads.

 Describe the Crafts Street City Stable in Newton, Massachusetts.

The Crafts Street City Stable is a historic redbrick public works building located at 90 Crafts Street near Ashmont Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts. Designed for $375 by Boston-based architect and Newton resident William F. Goodwin in the Colonial Revival style of architecture, it was built in 1895 for the city of Newton at a cost of $25,000 to serve as additional stable for its then Highway Department.

 Explain Secure Boot support in the Linux Kernel and how it relates to Linux distributions.

Red Hat's Secure Boot support is a case of the company wanting to "deep-throat Microsoft", according to a forthright posting from Linus Torvalds on the Linux kernel developer mailing list. Torvald's comments were made in response to plans by a Red Hat developer to extend Linux support for Secure Boot. The comments have given rise to an ongoing discussion, during which several prominent kernel developers have shared their thoughts on Secure Boot support in Linux.
In submitting a collection of changes for merging into Linux 3.9, Red Hat developer David Howells has triggered a wide-ranging debate on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML). The patches would have enabled the Linux kernel to verify binaries signed by Microsoft. For example, this would enable the Fedora 18 kernel, which, if Secure Boot is activated, only loads kernel modules signed by the Fedora project, to also load Microsoft-signed modules. The Linux kernel currently supports certificates meeting the X.509 standard. Microsoft, by contrast, has developed its own code-signing system in the form of Authenticode.
The Red Hat patches would enable companies such as AMD and NVIDIA to have the kernel modules for its graphics drivers signed by Microsoft, enabling distributions such as Fedora to load them even when Secure Boot is activated. Such a capability could also be of interest to systemtap modules. Red Hat does not itself offer a signature service and a Red Hat developer has stated unequivocally that the company will not be signing external modules. In the course of the debate on Howells' patches, Torvalds pointed out that the kernel already supports a system for verifying signatures – X.509 – but not the system used by Microsoft.
The debate has now morphed into a more general discussion of the implications of Secure Boot and Secure Boot support in the Linux kernel and Linux distributions. One of the more hotly debated issues is whether, in order to support Secure Boot, the Linux kernel itself needs to be signed and should only load signed modules, as is the case in Fedora 18. Such a procedure is not prescribed in the Secure Boot specification.
According to kernel developer Matthew Garrett, who coded secure bootloader shim (which is signed by Microsoft), it is, however, a contractual requirement for obtaining a Secure Boot signature from Microsoft. Microsoft also reserves the right to revoke a certificate if code signed with it compromises the security of UEFI. An unsigned kernel module would theoretically meet this criterion.
Whether Microsoft-compatible Secure Boot support requires the kind of restrictions introduced in Fedora 18 has long been disputed. The version of the bootloader shim used in Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 12.10 only checks the signature of GRUB 2. GRUB 2 will, however, happily boot unsigned kernels which will in turn load unsigned kernel modules. Secure Boot support in Ubuntu thus does not restrict users from, for example, using proprietary drivers from AMD and NVIDIA. In order to maintain the chain of trust, Fedora does impose such restrictions. For Ubuntu, therefore, the changes proposed by Howells are superfluous.
This issue is just one factor in a wide-ranging ongoing debate. The issue of why the Linux ecosystem does not set up its own infrastructure for signing (Linux) operating systems has also once again been raised. This particular issue comes down to cost – according to Greg Kroah-Hartman, setting up and running such an infrastructure would almost certainly cost more than the Linux Foundation's entire annual budget.

 Respond in 15 sentences. Describe the most recent SpaceX Dragon cargo mission.

The Dragon cargo capsule splashed down at about 3 p.m. EDT (12 p.m. PDT; 1900 GMT) in the Pacific around 400 miles (650 kilometers) southwest of Long Beach, California, where a SpaceX recovery team was in position to retrieve the spacecraft, pull it onto a boat, and return it to the Port of Los Angeles.
The successful splashdown Saturday marked the conclusion of SpaceX’s 14th resupply mission to the space station under the space transport company’s more than $3 billion, 20-launch cargo contract with NASA. It was the third round-trip cargo flight with a reused Dragon capsule.
The SpaceX recovery crew planned to return the spacecraft to port by early Monday, hand over time-critical experiment specimens to NASA and other research groups, then transport the Dragon to a facility in McGregor, Texas, for servicing and refurbishment for a possible future mission, according to NASA spokesperson Rob Navias, who provided commentary during the ship’s departure from the space station early Saturday.
The Canadian-built robotic arm on the space station released Dragon at 9:23 a.m. EDT (1323 GMT) Saturday, and the commercial cargo carrier fired its thrusters to fly a safe distance from the orbiting complex.
Draco rocket jets on the supply ship fired at 2:06 p.m. EDT (1806 GMT) for a deorbit burn, and the Dragon’s disposable trunk segment detached to burn up during re-entry in Earth’s atmosphere.
The pressurized component of the Dragon spacecraft, packed with 3,843 pounds (1,743 kilograms) of equipment and research samples, was protected by a heat shield and deployed parachutes to slow its descent.
Hitching a ride back home with the Dragon was NASA’s Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot launched on the final flight of the space shuttle Discovery in February 2011.
“Robonaut has had some issues with being able to power up on-orbit … and after a lot of troubleshooting on-orbit and a lot of analysis on the ground, they’ve concluded pretty conclusively that there’s a short of some sort on one of the circuitboards, and they need to bring it home in order to repair that,” said Pete Hasbrook, NASA’s associate space station program scientist, before the Dragon mission’s launch.
Mice rode back to Earth on Saturday inside special habitats aboard Dragon, and freezers carried biological samples collected on the station for analysis by scientists on the ground.
The spacecraft’s expendable external cargo bay was loaded with a failed pump flow control subassembly, which regulated the flow of ammonia coolant through the space station’s thermal control system. The pump was tagged for disposal inside the Dragon trunk.
Dragon’s departure was scheduled for Wednesday, but high sea states in the splashdown zone prompted SpaceX and NASA officials to keep the spacecraft at the space station until Saturday, when a backup landing opportunity was available.
Saturday’s return of the SpaceX supply ship cleared the space station’s Harmony berthing port for the arrival of an Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo craft later this month. The Cygnus resupply mission is scheduled for launch May 20 aboard an Antares booster from Wallops Island, Virginia.

 Wow, that's impressive how the gaming community is giving back! Respond in detail.

The Portland, Oregon gamer community PDXLAN donated 37,500 lbs of food to a local charity to feed the homeless. The gamers hold parties three times a year where people from all over the country gather to game in real life. The meet-ups involve a charitable aspect, raising funds for groups American Red Cross, Smile Train and Child’s Play. For the most recent meet-up held the weekend before Thanksgiving, PDXLAN and their friends, who had done food drives over the past seven years, scored over 17 tons of food collected in 48 hours.
Battlefield 4 was one of the more popular games played, and the game’s manufacturer, Electronic Arts, aka EA, sponsored B4 gamers who donated 50 lbs of food. Metro Last Light and NVIDIA promised each attendee a copy of Metro Last Light if donations surpassed 20,000 lbs.
As a community we really want to give back. We want to show that gamers are good people who do good things.
Doctors, Lawyers, micro-chip designers, school teachers, professors, farmers, students, IT-specialists, pharmacists, web-programers, and stay at home moms – gaming is something that transcends age groups, social groups, education levels, economic classes, and gender. Video gaming is a larger industry than all the Hollywood blockbuster films combined each year.
The food went to the Union Gospel Mission in Portland.

 Respond in detail. "Have you seen this amazing helmet made by Natalie Walsh? It looks like a disco ball!"

Eye-catching helmet made by Natalie Walsh looks like a reflective disco ball.
San Francisco based fashion designer covered her old motorcycle helmet with mirrored glass tiles and transformed it into a shiny disco ball helmet.
Yeah let’s buy a heap of those and irritate the heck out of everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As nice as it looks it could have some unwanted reflections and dazzle other road users.
So simple, yet no one thought about it. I love it!
but the helmet’s reflective mirror can blind somebody when light bounce back and may cause accidents.
Safety issue for everyone on the road. Looks cool though.
Sure if you are dating Evil Kanevil’s kids.
You can actually trace the designer whereabouts by checking all the latest news on car crashes and automobile disasters.
The helmed looks great though. So does Natalie.
The ultimate helmet for the ultimate hipster. Looks cool though but I agree with everybody else about the safety issues.
I’d rather have the disco-ball bra in the 3rd picture.
