Ed-Tech Policy Report Roundup

Business of Education

By Sean Cavanagh — August 06, 2013 1 min read

Mergers and acquisitions in the education industry rose by 5 percent in the first half of 2013 over the second half of last year, an uptick driven by deals focused on testing and assessment products, cloud-based systems, e-reading, and other areas, says a new analysis.

The overall number of education-focused transactions rose from 128 in late 2012 to 135 in the first half of this year, reports Berkery Noyes, a New York City-based investment bank that conducts market research.

Elasticsearch’s SQL jdbc driver is a rich, fully featured JDBC driver for Elasticsearch. It is Type 4 driver, meaning it is a platform independent, stand-alone, Direct to Database, pure Java driver that converts JDBC calls to Elasticsearch SQL.

The JDBC driver can be obtained from:

Dedicated page
elastic.co provides links, typically for manual downloads.
Maven dependency
Maven-compatible tools can retrieve it automatically as a dependency:

from Maven Central Repository, or from artifacts.elastic.co/maven by adding it to the repositories list:

The driver main class is org.elasticsearch.xpack.sql.jdbc.EsDriver. Note the driver implements the JDBC 4.0 Service Provider mechanism meaning it is registered automatically as long as it is available in the classpath.

Once registered, the driver understands the following syntax as an URL:

Prefix. Mandatory.
Type of HTTP connection to make. Possible values are http (default) or https. Optional.
Host (localhost by default) and port (9200 by default). Optional.
Prefix (empty by default). Typically used when hosting Elasticsearch under a certain path. Optional.
Properties for the JDBC driver. Empty by default. Optional.

The driver recognized the following properties:

timezone (default JVM timezone)
Timezone used by the driver per connection indicated by its ID. Highly recommended to set it (to, say, UTC) as the JVM timezone can vary, is global for the entire JVM and can’t be changed easily when running under a security manager.
connect.timeout (default 30s)
Connection timeout (in seconds). That is the maximum amount of time waiting to make a connection to the server.
network.timeout (default 60s)
Network timeout (in seconds). That is the maximum amount of time waiting for the network.
page.timeout (default 45s)
Page timeout (in seconds). That is the maximum amount of time waiting for a page.
page.size (default 1000)
Page size (in entries). The number of results returned per page by the server.
query.timeout (default 90s)
Query timeout (in seconds). That is the maximum amount of time waiting for a query to return.

Basic Authenticationedit

Basic Authentication user name
Basic Authentication password

ssl (default false)
Enable SSL
key store (if used) location
key store password
ssl.keystore.type (default JKS)
key store type. PKCS12 is a common, alternative format
trust store location
trust store password
ssl.truststore.type (default JKS)
trust store type. PKCS12 is a common, alternative format
ssl.protocol(default TLS)
SSL protocol to be used

Http proxy host name
SOCKS proxy host name

field.multi.value.leniency (default true)
Whether to be lenient and return the first value (without any guarantees of what that will be - typically the first in natural ascending order) for fields with multiple values (true) or throw an exception.

index.include.frozen (default false)
Whether to include frozen-indices in the query execution or not (default).

validate.properties (default true)
If disabled, it will ignore any misspellings or unrecognizable properties. When enabled, an exception will be thrown if the provided property cannot be recognized.

To put all of it together, the following URL:

opens up a Elasticsearch SQL connection to server on port 3456, setting the JDBC connection timezone to UTC and its pagesize to 250 entries.

I Need to add a Washer Outlet.

This is a question from a site visitor with an unusual situation.  A dryer outlet exists, but no outlet for the washing machine.

I have a single 30amp 220v circuit for a dryer. Is there a way to wire a 115 v outlet into that circuit at the outlet for a washer?

I’m assuming that you want to be able to have both the washer and dryer connected and operable.  I’m not sure why a dryer outlet is present without a circuit for a washing machine?  Regardless of that, here are some options.

If you can find a way to get a new cable from the panel to the location of the washer, this is the most desirable solution.  Nothing is impossible, but due to many factors, it can be an expensive and messy proposition to get a new circuit in to an existing and finished structure.  I would consult a good, experienced residential electrician to see if they can help you with a course of action.

Now if you’ve determined for whatever reason that a new cable and dedicated circuit is not possible, here is what I would suggest as a solution.

The cable for the dryer outlet should be a #10/3 cable (red, black, white, and ground), fed by a 2-pole 30A breaker.

If the cable can be moved to an acceptable location for a small, 4 circuit sub-panel within the room, then you could use this existing cable to feed this sub-panel.  Then from the sub-panel you could run another 10/3 cable to the dryer outlet, and a 14/2 cable to the new washer outlet.  You would then feed the dryer outlet with a 30A 2-pole breaker, and the washer with a 15A, 1-pole breaker from the sub-panel.

You would have to be careful to run only one of the appliances at a time, but should you forget and try both, the breaker feeding the sub-panel from the main panel would (and should) trip out, reminding you not to do that.

As I mentioned, this is not the best solution, but is a safe option providing that you ensure the breakers and wire sizes are all properly matched, this is a workable solution to your problem.

Top Nine 3-Wheel Electric Scooters in 2021

Many people prefer a 3 wheel scooter of a 4 wheel or vice versa.  It ultimately depends on what needs the user wants or needs.  When you have difficulty moving around or getting from one place to another, its important to choose the right electric mobility scooter for you.  People with mobility issues often feel reluctant to travel, go out with friends, or even do their own shopping.

Scooters can change that situation around completely.  Life often feels better when the challenges associated with moving decrease.

I know how important it is to stay self-reliant. That's why I rounded up the best 3-wheel electric scooter models for 2021.

Read on to see which one is the right vehicle for your needs, but first, lets go over some of the reasons why someone would prefer a 3 wheel over a 4 wheel...

So What Are the Benefits of 3-Wheel Scooters?

  • Typically a 3 wheel scooter is more compact, so often times they can be used more easily around the house.
  • It’s easy to maneuver in tight spaces, so a 3-wheeler is great to use when you are shopping or in restaurants as an example.
  • It’s a practical mobility aid to use in a crowded area.
  • For taller users, you typically have more legroom on a 3 wheel scooter because the foot area extends to the sides of the tiller..
  • It helps people with limited mobility in running their errands without overloading their joints.
  • It’s an efficient mobility-enhancement device for the elderly and often times more lightweight than a 4 wheel.
  • It offers assistance for disabled people.
  • It makes an overall difference in the quality of life for people who find difficulty in walking.

3-Wheel Scooters vs 4-Wheel Scooters

These two designs are often compared and contrasted. So, let’s see the strong points and shortcomings of each.

Weight and Size

Weight is a critical factor in choosing a mobility scooter. That's because the users are often incapacitated by injury, age, or other factors.  A 3-wheel scooter has that advantage considering they are often times more lightweight.

Scooters are indoor/outdoor vehicles, so their size matters. If you keep a scooter in your house, then you want it to occupy minimal space. The same applies to public spaces.

Now there are many different sizes of 3 wheel mobility scooters on the market; but the units specifically made for indoors or are made for transport, are easier to manage and operate in a home, restaurant, or mall.

Compact lightweight scooters are easier to move from one place to another. They’re also much easier to pack up with your regular luggage when you’re traveling by car or by plane.

3-wheelers are better positioned for easy movement.

Overall, 4-wheel scooters have more stability.  That is a nice benefit if you are concerned about the unit being more stable.

Stability is nice of course, but it’s not critical when you are dealing with major brands like the ones we carry.  The engineering and design put into any unit we carry have been tested and made with precision and safety in mind.  There is a reason they have been around for years and continue to be leaders in the market.

Many models offers a 3-wheel and a 4-wheel version.  Often times the 3-wheel has a lower price point than the 4-wheel.  This is especially important if you are on a concerned with money.

You won't need to disturb your budget to get a good quality 3-wheel scooter.

Turning Radius

A 3-wheel scooter is pretty adept in taking sharp turns.  If you’ve been on one, you know what I’m talking about.

If this is your first time on a 3-wheel scooter, you might wonder why sharp turning is a plus.

Well, it's not critical in the street, but consider shopping and moving between the isles.  However, it is remarkable when you use it inside your home or riding through crowds of people.

A 4-wheel scooter isn’t as well-suited when it comes to maneuverability.  To make a sharp turn around it a corner, it needs some space to proceed smoothly.  Sometimes, in order to guide it through tight spaces, you will have to continuously put it in reverse to make that turn around the corner.

I like good looking vehicles of all types, and I have good reason to believe that you do too.  In my opinion, 3-wheel scooters look more streamlined.

They fit better within domestic or public spaces. They look less like a street transportation method, and more like a mobility device.

What Is the Turning Radius of a 3-Wheel Scooter?

3-wheel scooters have remarkable maneuverability in tight spots, but this isn’t just a general description.

You can actually measure the sharpness of the turning angle.  Furthermore, you'll know the space needed for performing a full circle without having to go in reverse.

We’re used to seeing a turning radius of around 45”.  This is nice, and the vehicle feels resourceful at that rate.

The tightest I’ve seen was a 26” model, and the widest went as far as 56”, but it was a large scooter.

Can You Transport a 3-Wheel Scooter?

You can transport the foldable types easily by packing them as luggage in the trunk of your car.  They usually don't take up much space, and the lightweight models are a breeze to transport.

Air-travel is possible with certain models only per the FAA regulations.  The main thing FAA is concerned with is the type of battery the scooter has.  Otherwise, you get to transport your scooter free of charge, according to the ADA.

You can disassemble some models into smaller and more manageable pieces. This is another smart way to carry your scooter along without hassles.

So enough with all of the details of 3 wheel scooters, I think you get it at this point.  Now lets get into my top picks of best 3 wheel scooters for this year...

1. E-Wheels EW-36

EWheels EW-36 Scooter

If you plan on using your scooter for outdoor transportation, then EW-36 is the one for you.  It’s one of the fastest scooters we carry.  You can drive it at speeds of up to 18 mph.

Speed isn’t everything, as you’ll need a sturdy battery to keep you powered all through your errands.  This unit can last up to 45 miles on a single charge, so I’d say it’ll be sufficient for your daily activity.

Speaking of taking it out, a good-looking vehicle is always a plus.  And this one definitely has the right aesthetics.  It also comes in several colors to suit every taste.

It has a high weight capacity of 350 lbs. and a spacious 18” seat. Besides, it has some pretty attractive perks like its huge storage space.  There’s also the anti-theft alarm, headlights, USB port, and a battery indicator.

Its speed can be controlled to different speed settings through the twist-throttle. In order to have a smooth ride on pavements, uneven roads and all manner of terrain, it has 4-inch ground clearance.

Two shock absorbers at the rear of the frame ensures riding in comfort. Afraid that it will get stolen? You don’t have to be as it comes equipped with an anti-theft alarm.

As mentioned before, this model comes with a lot of storage space: It has a big compartment under the seat, a basket at the back, as well as a storage  compartment on the tiller.

The wheels are now equipped with hydraulic rear disc brakes for smoother stops. With its tubeless tires you don’t have to worry about a lot of maintenance. It also comes equipped with designer aluminum rims for a sleeker look.

Need to charge your electronic devices on the go? Not to worry as it comes with a USB port for easy charging.

2. Amigo RD

Amigo RD 3 Wheel Scooter

This is a mobility vehicle you can use indoor or outdoor equally well.  It has high maneuverability and a tight 34” turning radius, so it moves smoothly in any setting.  It also goes for 35 miles on a charge, so it’ll do fine outdoors and last you all day long.

The 360° swiveling seat is one of its nicest features. You wouldn’t need a special chair when you’re out, just rotate it to the right position and lock.

This scooter has a reliable weight capacity of 350 lbs. and a generous seat width of 18”.  It has high stability as its mass is centered on the platform and front part. This gives a proper weight distribution throughout for an easy ride.

Amigo is one of the industry leaders. They’ve been manufacturing these vehicles for half a century.  That’s why you’ll find several practical and efficient functions in this 3-wheeler.

It rides at a maximum speed of 5.9 mph, giving you the ability to go just about everywhere. For those honoring the Shabbat, this scooter is halachically-approved.

The halachic principle involves indirect operation and continuous change of current. Thus, it comes equipped with a toggle switch which changes its operations from normal to Shabbat mode.

The handle is an EZ-Tilt, complete with foam grip high and low speed controls. In order to come to a smooth stop this scooter is equipped with electromagnetic brakes with manual release.

There is an optional TouchTron handle you can add, which allows for speed control, a battery indicator, speed indicator, a battery gauge and a horn.

For an easy ride on pavements, sand and uneven terrains, the Amigo RD comes with a 3.5 inch ground clearance.

3. Enhance Mobility Triaxe Cruze

The Triaxe Cruze is a great choice if you like traveling and being on the move.  It’s a lightweight compact vehicle that you can actually fold and wheel around like a piece of luggage.  It can carry a significant amount of weight of up to 350 lbs.

The frame is made from aluminum.  This gives it great strength and the lightest possible weight.  It’s agile and will slide through the tightest venues.  Again, a good option if you’re sightseeing or exploring new places.

The Cruze is designed for trips, and that’s why it’s FAA approved for air travel.

When you’re not flying, you can experience its paddle acceleration. It also has a ‘rear-wheel-drive’ mechanism.  Both options contribute to a smooth and stable ride.

It has electromagnetic brakes, so you can smoothly come to stop by gently let off the throttle.  It is also a great safety feature.

It comes with solid rubber tires providing years of low maintenance operation. The wheels upfront have springs to absorb bumps. With a large floor deck, you can stretch out your legs to your heart’s delight.

User controls are within easy reach, with a speed control dial on the paddle acceleration that puts the power into your hands.

For enhanced safety it comes standard with a LED headlight, a battery indicator and a horn. The motor is powered by a 24-volt 12-amp lithium battery pack.

This scooter can take you as far as 18 miles on a single charge.

4. Drive Medical Ventura DLX 3-Wheel

Drive Medical Ventura DLX 3 Wheel

This scooter is designed for comfort and control.  It has good styling, high stability, and comes at a moderate price.  You’ll see in a minute how it garnered all these attributes!

The comfort factor starts with wide seating. This vehicle can carry weights up to 400 lbs, which calls for a large seat to go with that orientation.

You can choose an 18” or 20” model, and then adjust the height from 20”-23”.  The padded armrests are flexible and you can adjust their width and height. You can also flip them for easy access or detach them altogether.

This scooter focuses on ergonomics.  All the controls are accessible within easy reach of anyone. It's especially well-suited for users with limited mobility.

It comes with 10-inch tires for an awesome outdoor performance. With a turning radius of 53 inches, it is maneuverable around tight corners and smaller spaces.

Do you want to change the color of your scooter? Well you can, as it comes with red and blue interchangeable panels.

The captain’s seat can slid backwards and forwards by using auto-styled seat slides and can swivel as well for easy access.

The Ventura DLX comes with various lights including a headlight, turn signals for the front and the rear, and rear parking lights. For added security there are two rearview mirrors and rear anti tip wheels.

With the powerful 33 AH batteries, the scooter can maintain a charge for a whole 16 miles.

5. Golden Technologies Companion GC340D

Golden Technologies Companion 3 Wheel

If you’re one of the well-built folks with a healthy mass and long legs, then this scooter is for you. It can sustain up to 350 lbs, the seat is 18” wide, with a 16” high backrest. There’s also plenty of leg space in the front for comfort.

The seat and armrest are nicely padded and they’re fully adjustable. You can alter their positions for easy access and an optimal ride.

Safety factors abound in this model, starting with the non-skid tires. It also has variable intensity head and rear lights, in addition to a pair of mirrors for full visibility.

It’s best suited for indoor usage, but a fully charged battery can keep it going for about 16.5 miles. That should cover your daily activities with ease.

With its powerful rear wheel drive sealed motor, it is capable of tackling an 8-degree incline and can go at a maximum speed of 4.5 mph.

This model has flat free tires and a ground clearance of 3.5 inches, which makes traveling on different types of terrain a breeze.

The Companion also comes with an easy to use control panel, with which you can accelerate the speed with both hands. There is a battery indicator, a horn and a speed dial.

To charge your device, the unit has an easy access port located on the tiller. Should you need clarification on a number of points there is a trouble shooting guide under the mat.

6. Pride Victory 10.2 SC6102

Pride Victory 10.2 3 Wheel

This is another model made for broad-framed users. It’s designed for weights up to 400 lbs, and it has a wide 18”- seat with a high back.

You can adjust the height of the seat to a comfortable position. The armrests are also flexible, so you get to personalize your ride in many ways.

The manufacturer is an old-timer in this field.  So I wasn’t surprised to see some unique features here, like the easy partitioning for transport.  This scooter can be taken apart and reassembled effortlessly.

Pride Mobility aren’t only innovators.  They also stand by their product. You'd get a limited lifetime warranty for the frame.  Plus, a two-year warranty on the vehicle excluding the battery.  Not only that, Pride offers a 1 year in home service contract, which is included with their warranty, free of charge.

The Pride Victory is suitable for both indoors and outdoors.  It also comes at a reasonable price, so keep it on your radar!

Now for the features. This 3-wheel scooter has a wraparound delta tiller with a control panel that is very easy to navigate.

The tires on this unit are 10-inch solid tires that are stylish yet lightweight, black and non-scuffing. For storage there is a reasonably sized front basket.

This unit rides at a maximum speed of 5.2 mph and has a 13.5 miles per charge battery range.

Apart from its powerful under-the-hood features, it also comes in a two-color choice. As Ocean Blue or Candy Apple Red.

7. Merits Health S331

Merits Health S331 3 Wheel Scooter

If you think the previous models aren’t spacious and sturdy enough, check out the S331 Pioneer.  It comes with an impressive weight capacity of 500 lbs and an extra-wide 22” captain seat with a high back.

The best safety feature in this scooter is the turning speed control. It reduces to half-value in sharp twists. This is to avoid tipping or uncomfortable bending.

The 12.5” tires increase stability, as well. With that grip, the scooter can brave 12-degree inclines.

The body is made from a single molded frame, and that too adds to the sturdiness of the scooter.

It’s effective indoors and outdoors, especially with its 32-mile travel distance. The price is a little above the mid-range, but it’s justifiable with its many attributes.

It has a top speed of 6 mph and a 4-inch ground clearance, allowing you to venture onto uneven, grassy, or gravel terrain.

With a turning radius of 50 inches, its 12.5-inch rear pneumatic and 10-inch front tires allow for maneuvering around tight corners and small spaces.

There are a lot of additional accessories you can add to this model, like an oxygen tank holder, a can and crutch holder, a walker holder, a canopy or a foldable rear basket.

8. HandyScoot Folding Scooter

HandyScoot 3 Wheel Folding Scooter

The HandyScoot exemplifies simplicity, strength, and ease of use. Furthermore, the stainless steel frame folds into a portable shape. You can then carry it with you anywhere.

Can you imagine that this scooter weighs only 42 lbs?  Like I said, totally portable!

This is a mobility device designed for adventure, and that’s why it’s approved for air travel. Imagine how many users can now see their dream destinations.

The center bar is only 6” high, so you can mount it and dismount without any extra effort. This is especially essential with lower-body injuries, where any excessive movement is painful and harmful.

Some of the perks here include a big basket, a luggage bar, and headlights. If you’re the dynamic type, this is your go-to scooter.

Although it is so light, it should not be underestimated, as it can carry a weight of 350 lbs.

It offers a 15-mile battery range, whilst reaching speeds of up to 9 mph. The lower bar is fitted with a vinyl pad which makes it more durable and less likely to be replaced frequently.

There is an embedded plug on the battery, allowing for easier placing on the controller. Another handy feature is that all cables are neatly tucked away in the interior of the scooter.

9. AFIKIM Afiscooter S 3-Wheel Scooter

Afiscooter S 3-Wheel Scooter

The Afiscooter spells out luxury. It’s a powerful vehicle that carries 450 lbs, and hands out comfort in every detail.

The seat comes in three different sizes: 18”, 22”, and 24”. It’s designed for orthopedic usage and adjusts to fit your requirements. Comfort also comes from the comprehensive suspension system and shock absorbers.

Off into the wild

One could sit back and ponder just what the hell was all that about but near a year and a half of work came to a sudden and abrupt head a little over a week ago in Taipei, as the new Mountain Cycle line was finally revealed. It’s been interesting since then…

It stared with the lead up. Several days in Taipei building the bikes which included receiving the San Andreas 2.0 frames at 8pm one day out, after their journey right from the factory, via the Mega Fast Train, to me in the basement of a building – an interesting place to be when Japan’s shaking hard a few hours to the north.

After a late night, it was then to the photo studio the next morning where we undertook a clinically precise shoot – the one thing that I had planned in advance. I then got to go to the hotel, while John, fresh off the plane from the US, got to go and deal with setting the bikes up at the show. Something I avoided after seeing all the things that were wrong when I went and oversaw the final stages of completion. I was chuffed to find on the day that the things we had told them to fix, they didn’t and if you work in TW enough, you’ll learn this is often the way: “We know you told us you want that but we think you need this”. If it was back home, I would have either not paid the bill or had them there until 1am until they got it right. But as we were in TW, I had to accept that they under quoted and then didn’t really give a shit.

Then the great anti climax, the show. Turn up at 8.30pm and…… that was it.

The following days were a a blur of people looking, going to meetings, dinners, and potential buyers including the obligatory one who said:”…that’s too heavy, too expensive, can I get something lighter and cheaper?” No shit, that really happened on the first hour of the first day! Overall though, the reaction to the line was great. Some were and still are lost (more on that later), as the San Andreas 2.0 does challenge people in a big way but overall, especially from those around long enough to know, everyone loved the line and what we’ve done with it.

It was then back home on the Sunday and head down and bum up, as I got the new website live, something that took a week longer than I had expected. It’s done now and I’m happy as it addresses all of the issues we logged over the past months after we launched the ‘Interbike’ website. I might well be proven wrong but I think the site is deadpan easy to use and for those that want more, it’s there, easy to access.

So, it’s been busy.

Of course, since the bikes went ‘live’ the opinions have been coming thick and fast… as is to be expected in Internet Land. First observations are that the San Andreas 2.0 is polarising people into love/hate. There is a list of growing ‘the more I look, the more I like’ but either way, I could not be more chuffed; that I think bothers some out there, as I think I am meant to be more apologetic. If you want a design that appeals to everyone, go buy a something beginning with ‘G’. No offence, but their bikes appeal to everyone, they are in every way the 50th percentile – that’s treading what I call the safe line. Things people remember, stand out. They might not like them at first but after a while they come around. The original San Andreas was like that, actually, most Mountain Cycle’s were like that. At the time you either loved or hated them. I loved the San An, not so much the Moho and the like. 20 years on though, people who hated the SA love them. Says something right there and I’m happy we’ve got MC back where it belongs – on the edge.

Pinched from Google

Now I’m not comparing the new to the old. Never intended to, never would, but in many ways the parallels are interesting and the comments coming forth mirror those that the first SA received at the time. What I do find most interesting are the amount of people saying ‘but it looks nothing like a San Andreas’. Well duh! I answered this recently with this comparison: ‘Does a 1964 Ford Mustang look anything like a 2010 Ford Mustang?”, How about a new vs. old Chevy Camaro? Well no, they don’t. I ccan imagine the reaction if Ford or Chevy just rehashed the old designs, so sure, the lines are similar, actually more ‘reminiscent’, but that’s the end of it. It’s more about the overall feeling and a clear, modern interpretation.

Somehow though, in bike land, new should look like old and if it can’t, it should, it seems, look like everything else out there – swoopy TT, saggy DT and something in the rear. Unchallenging at best.

I’ve never done unchallenging and I am not about to start.

Funnily enough, the new San An does actually have a pretty clear lineage, you just need to look at the two side by side. I know I did, and I have been around the San An since 1993. Some out there have already picked up on this, at least those who care to not jump to a conclusion in what I like to call ‘an Internet Second’, a measure of time about half of a ‘New York Minute’.

Perhaps the greatest unknown for most, and in my eyes the greatest mistake made by MC, was that back when MC conceived the Fury, it actually was as a replacement for the San An, after it was realised that as an adaptable chassis, the monocoque was a disaster. It was a mistake as they should have phased out the San An (rather than make the DNA) and called the Fury, San Andreas. Line the SA1, the Fury and the SA2.0 up in a line, and you’ll see a direct lineage. The Fury was, and now the SA2.0 is, a solid solution to creating a design and production efficiency the original San Andreas lacked, while trying to be true to the old girl. So, no new San Andreas was ever going to replace the original, it was and remains, infeasible at so many different levels, hence will always be an ‘original’.

I guess that means if you have one that’s intact, polish it and hang it on a wall, because it’s a true collector’s item.

There is no apology to those that somehow, and unrealistically, are disappointed. The San Andreas 2.0 is in every way as much a departure from the norm as the original, just in a design, production and market environment that has moved on over the past 20 years. True change uproots people’s ideas of what is and what should be. I also sit comfortable in the fact that no matter what we would have done, the minute we stuck ‘San Andreas’ on it, a segment was going to get their nose out of joint. It might mean we’ll loose some die hards but at the same time, we’ll gain a lot of new blood and that’s good for a brand. Languishing in the past is never a good thing.

And now it’s on to Sea Otter. That will be manic for sure. We hope that we have the Shockwave Two there. If people thought that the San Andreas 2.0 was challenging, the Shockwave Two is going to truly rattle some cages. It will also put the line in front of the greater bike world, not the somewhat distorted world of ‘industry’. That’ll be interesting to watch unfold. As usual, it will be good to catch up again with people that I know and see at the various trade shows we go to these days. It’s a sort of two – three time a year catch up.

For now, I’ll spend the rest of the week cruising before the wind up to Sea Otter begins next week pondering if I’ll get the chance to get out on my Zen again before I leave.

Out for now,

Purchase Your Automobile From a Volvo Dealer Near Arlington Heights

Posted by Daniel Lawrence on November, 2019

Have you been thinking about purchasing a new car? By going to a Volvo dealer near Arlington Heights, you’ll have a great selection to choose from and receive top-notch customer service. Whether you decide to buy a new or used vehicle, you’ll have peace of mind using a professional dealership that sells high-quality transportation.

Offers Excellent Customer Service

When you go to a professional Volvo dealer near Arlington Heights, you’ll receive excellent customer service. If you have questions about the latest models, a trained auto technician can provide the answers and knowledge you desire. You won’t find this type of service if you decide to try and buy a vehicle from a private party. It makes more sense to utilize an expert who does this work for a living.

Reliable Transportation

When you want to purchase a new vehicle, it’s best to use a Volvo dealer near Arlington Heights. They’ll make sure that you have reliable transportation as they perform a thorough examination of every vehicle before it gets exhibited to the public. This helps ensure that you don’t drive off in a lemon that doesn’t work correctly. A dealership needs to keep its reputation positive and doesn’t want to risk selling an undrivable vehicle. You won’t find the same guarantee from a private seller.

Plenty to Choose From

One of the main benefits of using a professional dealership when you’re shopping for a car is the number of automobiles that you can select from. They have an inventory of both preowned and new vehicles that can fulfill your specs and requirements. Why drive around from private seller to private seller looking for your next vehicle when you can stop in one place and conduct your car shopping? Be sure to visit McGrath Volvo Cars Barrington when you need a reliable form of transportation.

January 2021

It’s mid-January!

The tracks heading south, as seen from platform 1/2.

Not quite sure how it happened, but today is January 18. It’s been a good couple of weeks.

I spent New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam visiting friends. Suffice it to say that, when it comes to New Year’s Eve, Amsterdam is pretty much like Berlin. […]

This Past Saturday.

Honestly, Michele and I tried for three weeks to take a bike ride—but we were bedeviled by a series of challenges: the first weekend I got a cold and decided that despite the fantastic perfect biking weather, I would spend the weekend, at home, cooped up in bed.

Which I did reasonably well, until my […]

Erfurt Zoo

Yesterday Chica+1 invited me to join them on a trip to the Erfurt Zoo—which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

What an awesome zoo: It was only 6€ to get in to the zoo that takes up 62.6 hectares—154 acres, or almost a section of land (if we want to talk in US terms). […]

I Key Uh

Tonight I popped over to Ikea in order to buy window shades (fail) and a lamp for my reading nook (success).

This being a trip to Ikea, I ended up buying candles (I begged my friend to get me out of the candle department), a present for a colleague, ice cube trays, and, in a […]

1 cent, Salt, Bread: A German Welcome to Your New Home

I should probably be getting back to finishing my current work project—a deadline is looming tomorrow—but instead I need a few minutes to decompress. My first load of laundry is in the dryer (I need what’s in it tonight), the second (of three) […]

Gay Thüringen (Weimar, Jena, Erfurt)

Please visit the new Gay Thüringen Page.

It’s suddenly come to my attention that the Gay Thüringen website closed down.

And in the spirit of speedy discovery and announcements, it “died” August 27, 2007; I noticed February 3, 2008.

I think that pretty well summarizes gay life in Thüringen: it’s so dead that nobody notices […]

Nacktkultur Natürlich

I’m not one for this kind of fun, but thanks to CQ, I now know that for 500 €uros—a mere drop in the bucket, I can fly from the nearby Flughafen Erfurt to the Baltic Sea for a day trip on 5 July.

Passengers on the flight will be nude—dressed until boarding, and then shuck […]

Falling Back

This morning the clocks fell back an hour here in Germany. I got an extra hour of sleep as a result, needed after I celebrated Katya’s visit from The Ukraine to Erfurt.

It’s been awhile since I last saw Katya. Most of you may recall her most vividly from when I went to Kyiv for […]

CSD Thüringen 2007

Today I went with a friend to CSD-Thüringen in Erfurt.

It was a gay day, overall, and not just because of Christopher Street Days (Gay Pride in America). Although we did not complete the entire march, we did go from the Erfurt Hauptbahnhof to the Erfurt Rathaus before both of us got bored and decided […]

Available wind resources as a function of yearly average wind velocity and different typical terrains are indicated in the diagram below.

wind resources - yearly average wind velocity and terrain - diagram

The resources refer to the power present in the wind at level 50 m. Be aware that wind turbine efficiency is typical 20-30%.

Example - Available Wind Resource

The available wind power resource at a sheltered location with average wind velocity 5 m/s is approximately 140 W/m2 from the diagram above. The available energy output per square meter from a wind turbine with efficiency 25% and a operation time 8000 hour a year can be calculated like

(140 W/m2) (25% / 100%) (8000 h/year)

        = 280000 (Wh/m2 year)

        = 280 (kWh/m2 year)

How manufacturers can prepare for post-recession profitability

Paul Boughton
As yet there is no firm consensus as to the nature of the United Kingdom economic recovery. The three most likely scenarios are that the recovery will follow the form associated with a 'simple' recession, that there will be a 'double-dip' recession, or that there will be a 'zombie' economy in which half-alive, half-dead banks, governments, consumers and companies struggle to function in the new world. Against this background, however, it has to be remembered that China and India have lost little of their momentum in becoming dominant manufacturing locations.

In trying to decide on the best action to take, corporate board members are faced with apparently conflicting requirements. Should the chief finance officer preserve cash and reduce working capital, or invest in future winners? The chief technology office may want to make research and development (R&D) leaner and reduce time to market, yet also ensure that high-growth products and services are developed. As for the supply chain, the need to minimise costs and working capital may seem at odds with the need to create responsive, customer-focused supply chains.

David Hatrick, a technology and innovation consultant with PA Consulting Group in Cambridge, UK, recommends that manufacturing companies adopt a three-pronged strategy in order that they can emerge from the downturn as winners. His strategy is: create space; create agility; and create the future.

Assuming that simple cost-reduction measures have already been implemented, it is necessary to find more radical ways to maintain momentum in cost-saving programmes.

Creating space to yield savings

Hatrick says that creating space can yield savings in two ways: "In our experience with clients across a number of sectors, optimising the product cost through a combination of improved design (eg embedding modularity or platform designs across a product range) and focusing on the supply chain (eg through better procurement practices and supply chain design) can deliver savings of between 10 and 20 per cent. Secondly, reducing complexity across the product range, with reductions in SKUs (stock keeping units) and raw materials/components, (eg by simplifying raw materials strategies) can have a significant impact on direct costs as well as making savings in support functions such as procurement and R&D." It is relatively straightforward to identify potential savings, but the reality of implementation means that typically two-thirds of this forecast saving will achieved.

Various tools and techniques can be applied in the product cost optimisation process, which has a broader scope than the value engineering exercises that were popular in the past. In PA's experience, three main areas of focus consistently deliver significant benefits: Best Practice Costing identifies the route to optimising manufacturing processes, materials, machine utilisation, manpower and overheads; a Best Value Stream Analysis determines the most cost-effective production locations and supply chain design; and finally a Best Practice Product Exercise involves looking at product redesign for cost and benchmarking against competitive products.

Complexity is a cost generator

An additional cost generator in many manufacturing businesses is complexity, where the product range expands over time to meet the needs of customers without enough attention being paid to cost and profitability implications. Some degree of complexity in manufacturing businesses is inevitable, but it can easily run out of control, resulting in ever-increasing numbers of non-profit-generating products hitting the market. Hatrick says: "Businesses need to manage complexity and decide what level of complexity is appropriate. They need to understand the competitive position of product, the key features for which customers are willing to pay, and understand the true cost to serve the market. Complexity can occur on the supply side, with many companies using multiple suppliers and specifications of single raw materials or components when this is not strictly necessary. By limiting the specifications and number of suppliers, manufacturers can make significant savings through more effective procurement. On the demand side, if a company is asked to supply a high-volume product in a specific size or format just for one customer, you have to ask whether the cost of modifying product designs, tooling, etc to serve that customer is really going to generate profit for the business overall?"

In some cases the answer is yes, in which case it is right to allow the increase in complexity. But if the answer is no, then companies should decline to meet that unprofitable demand. "These can be hard decisions to make, especially if a customer is asking for that product - but in the long run the business will not succeed without proper control of complexity," states Hatrick..

Product cost optimisation and supply chain innovation often benefit from the use of consultants. Existing project teams can be too closely involved to be able to challenge the assumptions, ask the 'dumb' questions, and take a fresh look at the design of the product (or portfolio of products) and the supply chain. Consultants can also bring alternative ideas from outside the industry, or suggest the use of new technologies of which the client's designers are not yet aware. If need be, consultants can also undertake R&D and/or design work, enabling products or processes to be brought on stream faster than if they were left to in-house teams (Fig. 1).

Agility needs to be created both in the supply chain and in the way the manufacturer innovates. "Companies with CDS (customer-driven supply) at the heart of their supply chain strategy design their supply chain to win the customer at the point of use or the point of sale; the upstream supply chain is designed back from that point," explains Hatrick. "A recent survey conducted by PA confirmed that a CDS approach delivers better overall supply chain performance: revenue improves by 10 per cent and profit margins increase by five to seven per cent."

One of the key factors in creating an agile innovation system is the establishment of a rigorously managed process by which projects can be assessed - with a view to focusing on the value-creating projects and dropping those that will not contribute to the success of the business in the long term. Innovation projects that deliver small, low-value incremental changes tend not to contribute to the long-term survival of the business and remove focus from the more fruitful but potentially longer-term innovations. Manufacturing businesses face a continual struggle to balance these short-term, incremental projects that keep current customers happy, with those longer-term big innovations that everybody agrees are key to the future of the business.

But by implementing an effective portfolio management system and decision-making process, companies are more likely to succeed by creating the right balance of resources for strategic growth opportunities and the incremental projects required to meet short term customer demands. This innovation portfolio management needs to involve cross-functional decision makers (such as R&D, marketing, supply chain and finance) working with transparent project portfolios - not hidden or pet projects.

Involving the whole organisation in the front end of the innovation process can also be an excellent way of increasing the speed and volume of new ideas and concepts being created, and providing the agility to respond to new market needs as they appear - without having to increase the budget for R&D. Using new internet- or intranet-based tools can allow people from across the business (finance, sales, human resources and procurement, for example) to contribute by submitting new ideas to the central innovation teams, and they can also be used to give feedback and help to build on new ideas as they develop. Hatrick comments: "Managers need to be aware that recent graduates are familiar and comfortable with social networking such as Facebook and Twitter, so they make good use of intranets and in-house forums. Ideas develop much faster this way than with the traditional method of talking to colleagues at the coffee machine!"

Similarly, manufacturing companies should take advantage of information and communications technologies to enable truly global teams to be formed.

Creating the future

In order to create a profitable future, manufacturing businesses need to focus on identifying and developing strategic growth platforms, and boosting the productivity of their innovation activities. To develop future growth platforms, it is vital to understand the new realities for customers and consumers. Hatrick says that companies need to decide in which direction they want to go: "Where will future growth come from for European manufacturing companies? Growth is predicted to be flat in the European and North American automotive and consumer product markets, so businesses in these industries are developing growth strategies that place a significant emphasis on the BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and developing their product ranges to meet the differing needs of consumers in those geographies. This drives the need to understand the requirements of customers and consumers in different geographies in far more detail than many European companies currently do."

Chinese Drug Linked to 125 Deaths

The National Crime Agency has warned a deadly new drug produced in China is linked to at least 125 deaths has reached England.

The United Nations has ordered a worldwide ban on N-Ethylnorpentylone in an attempt to close down its production in illegal psychoactive drugs “factories” in China which are flooding the market.

Professor Measham, a criminologist at Durham University, said: “The real problem is that the effects are not that dissimilar at the start to what a user might expect from MDMA but it takes longer. What people might think is that they have a weak sample of MDMA so they take more and inadvertently re-dose or overdose.”

“It can keep them awake for two to four days. They become increasingly stressed and anxious. The concern is that young people don’t realise it’s the drugs and think it could be them or think they are losing a grip of their faculties. We have seen people who have full blown psychotic episodes,” she continued.

A World Health Organisation (WHO) investigation report said the drug had been identified in 25 US deaths and “approximately 125 toxicology reports confirmed the detection (urine and blood) of N-ethylnorpentylone in fatal cases observed between 2016 and 2018.”

The Home Office has started licensing services in city centres where users will be able to get their illegal drugs tested for purity and content without fear of prosecution.

The Loop, which has more than 500 volunteers including health professionals, has already piloted city centre testing as has the charity, Addiction, which was licensed by the Home Office to do so in February.

This Day in History - 29th November

1530 Thomas Wolsey, English Cardinal and Lord Chancellor, died en route from York to his imprisonment in the Tower of London.

1781 The crew of the British slave ship Zong, murdered 133 Africans by dumping them into the sea to claim insurance. The resulting court cases, brought by the ship-owners, sought compensation from the insurers for their lost cargo. The court established that the deliberate killing of slaves could, in some circumstances be legal. It was a landmark in the battle against the African slave trade of the eighteenth century, and inspired abolitionists such as Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson, leading to the foundation of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade in 1787.

1849 Sir John Ambrose Fleming, English electrical engineer, was born. His inventions included the Fleming Valve and many related devices that led to the development of modern electronics.

1907 British nurse Florence Nightingale, aged 87, was presented with the Order of Merit by Edward VII for her work tending the wounded during the Crimean War.

1934 In Britain, the first live radio broadcast of a royal wedding - the marriage of the Duke of Kent to Princess Marina at Westminster Abbey in London.

1940 The city of Liverpool endured nearly eight hours of bombing, which left 166 people dead and 2,000 people homeless. At the time, Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the tragedy as "the single worst civilian incident of the war."

1947 The UN approved Britain's plan for a partition of Palestine.

1956 Panic-buying broke out at garages across the country as the government gave details of its petrol rationing plans. Petrol had been in short supply since the President of Egypt, Gamal Abdul Nasser, took over the running of the Suez Canal four months previously.

1962 Britain and France announced a joint agreement to design and build Concorde, the world's first supersonic airliner.

1963 The Beatles record I Want To Hold Your Hand was released, with advance orders of one million in the UK alone.

1965 Housewife Mary Whitehouse began her Clean Up TV Campaign by setting up the National Viewers and Listeners' Association to tackle 'bad taste and irresponsibility'.

1975 British racing driver Graham Hill was killed in an aircraft crash at Arkley, Hertfordshire.

1986 The death of Cary Grant, British-born American actor. He was considered one of Hollywood's definitive leading men and was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time (after Humphrey Bogart) by the American Film Institute.

1995 On his historic visit to Britain, US President Bill Clinton praised British Prime Minister John Major and Irish Prime Minister John Bruton for their joint efforts to bring peace in Northern Ireland.

2001 George Harrison, musician, actor, songwriter and former lead guitarist with the Beatles died of lung cancer, aged 58. Often referred to as the 'quiet Beatle', Harrison became an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism, and introduced it to the other Beatles, as well as to their Western audiences.

2015 Great Britain won the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936 after Andy Murray beat Belgium's David Goffin to clinch the decisive point in Ghent.

EPRA back in Barcelona to discuss future challenges and best practices

posted on 06 June, 2016   (public)

EPRA back in Barcelona to discuss future challenges and best practices

Photo courtesy of CAC©

EPRA was back to Barcelona for its 43rd meeting which took place from 25 to 27 May 2016 at the invitation of the Catalan Audiovisual Council (CAC). About 175 delegates representing 50 regulatory authorities from 45 European countries gathered together in order to discuss issues related to media regulation and to exchange information and best practices.

One guiding principle running through the meeting was to provide audiovisual regulators with keys to better grasp the complexity of the convergent media landscape, highlight interrelationships with other sectors and raise the awareness of emerging issues and regulatory challenges. In the first plenary session entitled "Is there still a future for free-to-view TV?", a panel of expert speakers focused on the societal, economical and technical implications of the ongoing re-allocation of broadcasting spectrum for audiences and service providers. A working group "on the impact of data protection and big data on media regulation" also provoked lively exchanges around algorithms and prominence of European works, big data and pluralism of information and profiling and targeted advertising.

Another overarching theme of the meeting was the exchange of experience and best practices concerning internal processes relating to the governance, the functioning and the daily operations of media regulators - ultimately to encourage independent, accountable and efficient regulation. During the second plenary session, a panel of regulators started a frank and open dialogue on matters of compliance and enforcement by looking at policies, strategies, methods and results notably by sharing success stories and failures.

The Assembly of EPRA members also addressed hot issues on this year's regulatory agenda with a working group on "Media in times of crisis". Terrorism, migration and new lines of conflict challenge regulators in new ways; guest speakers provided EPRA members with the best possible understanding of conflict reporting and the issues at stake.

Enduring issues of media regulation, such as the protection of minors were however not forgotten with a round-table debate on the regulation of reality and talent shows.

Another noteworthy moment of the meeting was the “premiere” of the Proposal made by the European Commission on 25 May for an updated Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD), which was presented to the EPRA Community by Marcel Boulogne of the DG Connect. The draft provisions dealing with the independence of regulators and the extended scope to online platforms were a particular focus of interest.

The meeting was also attended by several observer organisations (Council of Europe, European Audiovisual Observatory, European Commission, Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media), as well as guest speakers from industry and academia (European Commission, EBU, Qualcomm, Media Centre Sarajevo, TV3-Televisió de Catalunya, TNO-Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) and guest regulators from Morocco and the Iberoamerican Platform for Regulatory Authorities (PRAI).

  • EPRA was set up in 1995 in response to the need for increased co-operation between European audiovisual regulators. With its 20 years of experience and a robust network of working-level contacts, EPRA is the oldest and largest network of broadcasting regulators and is an ideal setting for the exchange of information, cases and best practices between broadcasting regulators in Europe.

Creating the perfect Office

Attitude is as important as the person’s background expertise. Two employees that have similar jobs in the same company can have different attitudes towards their work. The one who is motivated is proactive, the other one just accumulates frustrations and he would watch the clock frequently when it comes close to 17:00. The first one will be surely successful, and no matter what his carrier decisions he will take he will surely be successful. the second one will stay where he is and in time he will give up on that company convinced that he is not he one responsible for his condition, that the system or the boss is.

Offices. Yeah, I know all your corporate people out there will not like that word for sure. But a known fact is that most of corporates or working professionals do not like office because of the infrastructure that is offered at their office. So, if you or your friends need to understand and know how professionals are made and how they can be done, then you can contact office space Toronto who are experts in this area and have helped many companies to setup offices at east.

What about Work styles? Work styles change. Every day. Sometimes they change radically from one year to the other. New concepts like the "virtual office", "individual objectives" and "every employee is a small entrepreneur" make their way to the business environment. Companies change, and this generates a change in the way we work.
