For the ZF 5 speed. In a 31/33’ coach;

Blue Bird ceased production in 1987 On those. And made 2 FC31’s that final year. I have one, and the other is in Canada. (I don’t believe the Canadian coach is for sale either)

There may be converted coaches out there? I know Mike H has a very nicely modified fc31 with an Allison 3060. (I’ve not heard of another.)

I hope more get shaken out of the tall grass, the 31’ and a modern OD transmission is an excellent combination.

Australia's Most Liveable City

Ipsos Life in Australia Study

East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan

The future urban growth area is located between Wangoom Road to the north, Dales Road to the south, Aberline Road to the west, and Horne Road to the east.

The growth area covers approximately 360 hectares of land. The northern boundary of the growth area abuts the municipal boundary of Moyne Shire. The growth area is positioned centrally to other key development sites identified in the Warrnambool Planning Scheme, being the Eastern Activity Precinct and the Horne Road Industrial Precinct.

A Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) is being prepared for the growth area to guide future development and land use outcomes within the growth area, known as East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan.

On 7 September 2019 the Minister for Planning appointed the VPA as the planning authority to prepare the PSP, at the request of Warrnambool City Council. This means that this project has been identified as a priority for timely completion by the Victorian Government and the VPA will lead the preparation of the PSP, working closely with Council.

Further information, including regular updates, can be found on the VPA’s website at

Please contact Jeff Tait, Senior Strategic Planner at the VPA, jeff [dot] tait [at] vpa [dot] vic [dot] gov [dot] au or Julie Glass, Coordinator City Strategy at Warrnambool City Council, jglass [at] warrnambool [dot] vic [dot] gov [dot] au for further enquiries.

Liberal legacy

"In the first installment of his … five-part retrospective on the Clinton administration, 'Nightline' host Ted Koppel twice referred to Bill Clinton as a 'centrist.'
"Particularly in Mr. Clinton's second term, Republicans allowed this notion of 'Clinton as centrist' to take hold largely unchallenged and to their own detriment. In truth, Clinton just moved what was generally thought of as the political center well to the left of where it had been before he took office… .
" … A mostly sympathetic liberal media helped in portraying Clinton as a 'centrist.' Many people who should have known better, ranging from Fred Barnes of Fox [News] to Republican Rep. Jennifer Dunn of Washington, bought into the myth. All the while, the Clinton administration was way out on the leftist fringe.
"Much was clearly presaged at his 1993 inauguration, when he referred to the Founding Fathers by the gender-neutral term 'the Founders' and featured as his keynote speaker Maya Angelou, the poet laureate of the brie-and-chablis set.
"Even now, as his presidential legacy looms ever smaller, let me suggest another legacy possibility. That is this: His was the most left-wing presidency in our nation's history."
Peter Parisi, writing on "69 Reasons Why Clinton Wasn't a Centrist" April 3 in National Review Online at www.nationalreviw.com

Elitist mob show

" 'The Sopranos' is a certified cultural phenomenon, according to the public prints. Last week alone came a cover story in Newsweek, yet another feature in USA Today, a gushy valentine in GQ, and a lengthy chin-puller in the New Yorker, all of them written in tones of undying appreciation… .
"Aren't there any people out there who don't like 'The Sopranos'? …
"A very large majority of Americans don't even have access to HBO and therefore, of course, to 'The Sopranos.' It costs money to watch 'The Sopranos' an extra $200 or more a year for people who already get cable, and much more than that for people who would have to initiate cable service and then add the premium channels to boot.
"Difficult as it is for some of us to believe, most people in the United States have chosen not to spend the extra money. What this means is that, relative to the universe of TV watchers, 'The Sopranos' isn't being seen by very many people… .
" 'The Sopranos' is the entertainment equivalent of the gated community. The well-to-do now retreat to their own corner of the television world, with the obliviousness that has always been a hallmark of the rich and privileged."
Andrew Ferguson, writing on " 'The Sopranos' and Its Groupies," in the April 9 issue of the Weekly Standard

Banal Hillary

"When Hillary Clinton emerged from marital humiliation to become the first First Lady in American history to win a seat in the U.S. Senate, the commentariat predicted she'd take Capitol Hill by storm… .
"Crowning her 'perhaps the most important Democrat in the country,' the New York Times called it a 'fantasy' to think she would 'blend into the woodwork as just another freshman senator.' …
"In fact, she barely even makes the papers (except when mentioned in the same paragraph as Denise Rich). If Clinton fantasized in her post-health-care days about liberating herself from her gilded prison of White House interior decorating to participate in serious policy once again, she's gotten her win. And it isn't pretty.
"Crouching low to avoid the pardon scandals battering her husband's ex-presidency, Clinton has submerged herself in policy minutiae that would make a C-SPAN junkie snore… . People expected Hillary Clinton to be a lot of things in the U.S. Senate except, perhaps, for the one thing she has become: banal."
Michael Crowley, writing on "Dull and Duller," in the April 9 issue of New Republic

- The Washington Times - Friday, June 8, 2018

Kremlin spokesman Dmitriy Peskov denied that his country has any interest in rejoining world leaders at the G-7 summit.

Russia is focused on other formats, apart from the G7,” he said.

The comment came on Friday after President Trump called for the multinational group to invite Russia back to their ranks, Sputnik, a Russian state-owned news service reported.

“Why are we having this meeting without Russia? We should have Russia at the negotiating table,” Mr. Trump told press before heading to the summit himself.

Russia was dismissed from the then-G-8 in 2014 by former President Barack Obama and the other heads of state in the group.

Lab Rat and Peep Show will be at Carver Arena on Saturday when the Professional Bull Riders Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour bucks into town.

They are some of the best athletes on the tour. They have world rankings. And they have four legs.

"I'll bring 15-20 bulls to the Peoria event," said Justin Cornwell, 44, who manages his bovines on a ranch in Lima, Ohio. "Two of them have appeared in the world championships, the finals."

That would be the aforementioned Lab Rat and Peep Show. These guys are big. Powerful. And big business.

The two-legged athletes know this well.

"The toughest I've ever ridden? It was a bull named Mick E. Mouse," said Bryan Titman, an East Bernard, Texas, native who is ranked No. 7 on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour and will be in the lineup Saturday at the Peoria Classic. "He passed away a couple years ago now. But he was elite. They are all taken care of, they are treated just like we are. These bulls are athletes, and you have to respect them.

"I'm a smaller guy, and the bulls have muscle packed up front and they pull on you. That's a challenge for me. But the speed can give the bigger guys trouble, the centrifugal force.

"You get to know these bulls very well."

Titman has completed 13 of 29 rides in 17 events so far in 2019. His competition this weekend was waiting in a field in Ohio a few days ago.

"These bulls are bred to buck," Cornwell said. "You don't just go out and buy a bull from a farm somewhere. There are records kept on lineage, the history of each bull, and there are specific genes we're screening for in them, too.

"The training is really just getting them used to being handled, and traveling. There is so much genetic predisposition involved, it's kind of like a bird dog — you don't teach those dogs to freeze and point, they either know to do it or they don't — and it's the same way with these bulls. They know what to do."

But not all bulls are created equally.

"They have very distinct personalities," Cornwell said. "I have one who I have to feed alone, because he'll eat all of his food and then eat all the other bulls' food, too. I have another one who will come in from the pasture and walk up to me and stare at me and won't leave — until I scratch his head and back. And there's a couple out there that, well, you definitely want to keep about five feet between you and them at all times."

Cornwell rode bulls and now is in his 14th year as a stock contractor providing bulls to rodeo events. A bull can cost $1,200 to acquire as a calf, and those with superstar lineage can go for beyond $100,000. It costs $300 per month, per bull, to give them specialized feed. They are exercised — literally going for runs in the field.

They have names like Sugar Boom Boom, Mud Dog and Copperhead Road. All carry a special meaning to whoever issued the name.

"Peep Show was in the PBR World Finals last year, he's a 5-year-old," said Cornwell, who noted his bulls typically start competing at age 4. "He was the son of a bull named Night Show. So his name is a play on that."

Lab Rat is 8. He was in the PBR World Finals in 2016. Peoria will be one of the final stops of his career. He is retiring at the end of this season and will move on as a breeder.

The average PBR bull weighs 1600-1700 pounds, and some push beyond a ton. The average bull on the circuit is worth $10,000, and some are valued at up to $500,000.

The riders, of course, are scored on each of their performances and can earn up to 100 points if they stay aboard the bull for a full 8 seconds.

But the bulls receive a score from judges, too. And those scores are used to compile rankings for the bulls and increase the monetary value of the bull. The highest-ranked bull in the PBR YETI World Champion Bull competition earns a $100,000 bonus. And the highest-rated stock contractor can win up to $25,000.

So it's big business as these bulls work their way up through the system.

It's big business for the two-legged athletes as well. Titman is ranked No. 7 on the PBR Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour, which is a minor-league level within the PBR world. His overall world ranking is No. 57. Peep Show, by the way, is ranked No. 158 in the world.

Maybe they'll meet at Carver Arena.

"My dad and my grandfather both did this," Titman said. "It's all I've ever wanted to do. I go to rodeos and see older guys there who've competed, and it's great to talk to them, and great to be able to talk to kids, too."

Every 51 minutes, substitute person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of every fatalities.

You can find more drunk driving statistics upon the Mothers next to Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.

Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the twist of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns statute to educate American drivers very nearly drunk driving? This article will have enough money a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.

Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private amalgamation groups, advocating for widespread acceptance of something called buzzed driving. correspondingly what is it?

Buzzed driving is a completely simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed sharply by the bloodstream and common tests, when a breathalyzer, can pretense the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving following a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers not far off from invariably experience sedation and slower greeting times. In other words, its straightforwardly dangerous to steer behind that much alcohol in your system.

Buzzed driving is helpfully having a BAC lower than 0.08% but forward-thinking than 0.00%.

One Beer Wont correct The artifice I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One tab from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than moderate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, in the distance more risky than driving sober.

The real burden is that American behave and public policy tend to see on 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that heritage and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a wreck increases steadily and dexterously from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no gruff transition like comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the conclusive analysis.

The tab from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal offend Prevention. You can retrieve a summary here.

The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.

China has a true limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances genuine limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized taking into account rasping fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds abandoned regions to use 0.08% BAC as its genuine limit.

Has The disturb Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public relieve announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving watchfulness campaign. upon their website, they bill that their ads reached nearly one half of all American adults on top of the age of 21. And that there was a significant addition in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned about the business of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.

And while public awareness is extremely important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to reply to our extra conformity of buzzed driving. In fact, in imitation of most own up governments speak to to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or seek comprehensibly that they wont tolerate any driver considering a BAC more than 0.08%.

Only grow old will tell whether or not come clean governments follow through upon the current research. put up to in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no give leave to enter has yet to refer this stricter limit.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another reaction has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of marginal tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol mistreatment and abuse. The underlying premise to this stir is that some drunk drivers conduct yourself vehicles even if impaired because (in fittingly many words) they cant urge on it. And if you get substance dependent persons treatment, you might recognize some impaired drivers off the road in the same gesture.

Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In descent later than recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more checking account than contrast amongst alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.

This stock of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a laboratory analysis released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested clear for drugs also had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the pain is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

The Top 10 Things We Love Most about the Magic Kingdom

I love cupcakes! And the Walt Disney World Resort has some of the most magnificent ones that I have ever tasted; like the Butterfinger Cupcake and the King Cupcake.

Take a Ride through Some of Hollywood’s Greatest Films on The Great Movie Ride

If there's one attraction that screams "Hollywood" and could probably be considered the flagship attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it's The Great Movie Ride.

Located inside the full-scale reproduction of the famed Grauman's Chinese Theater, this 20-minute long journey takes guests into some of the best movies ever produced.

Take Flight over California on Soarin’ at Epcot's The Land

It's one of those must-do-and-I-will-run-to-get-FastPasses rides. A visit to Epcot is just not complete until you've had a chance to ride at least once. OK, maybe twice. And then there's the fact that guests actually applaud at the end of each flight. Yes, I'm talking about Soarin'.

Take a Trip Under the Sea at The Seas with Nemo and Friends

Everyone's favorite little clown fish didn't always have a home in Epcot. The pavilion that we all know and love as The Seas with Nemo and Friends originally opened in January 1986 as The Living Seas - a pavilion dedicated to man's ongoing relationship with the sea.

All around the Disney parks there are beautiful, entertaining spots that many guest often miss. These places are all about theme magic, and if one is so focused on getting to the next ride, or making it on time to their ADR it can be easy to overlook.

California SB 1402: What You Need to Know

Thu, Nov 15, 2018 @ 07:00 AM / by Weber Logistics

Does your logistics operation source drayage services in California?  If so, read on as new legal developments in the state can put you on the hook for damages if the drayage provider you hire is misclassifying employees as independent owner/operators.

This latest shot across the bow in California’s labor battles comes in the form of California Senate Bill 1402 (SB 1402).  The Bill was signed by Governor Brown on September 22, 2018 and will take effect on January 1, 2019.  In this article, we’ll summarize the new Bill and explain what it means for shippers and other companies that hire port drayage companies in the state of California.

Port trucking labor concerns: a brief background

SB 1402For many years, state labor leaders like the Teamsters have argued that port trucking companies have misclassified employees as independent owner/operators to cut costs by not properly compensating those employees in terms of wages and benefits.  Until recently, a set of criteria known as the “Borello test” was used to determine whether a worker was an employee or independent contractor.  A landmark ruling on May 1st of this year has changed that.

In that case, Dynamex Operations West Inc. vs The Superior Court of Los Angeles County, the California State Supreme Court ruled that transportation workers (and other groups of workers) should be presumed employees and not independent owner-operators when reviewing class action cases. In the ruling they applied a new, more stringent, set of criteria that hiring companies must meet in order to treat workers as contractors.

Many within the trucking industry have cried foul.  The Western States Trucking Association, for one, recently announced plans to challenge the Court’s ruling on the grounds that the new “ABC test” in the ruling sets an impossible standard for trucking companies to meet.

Summary of SB 1402

Into this contentious climate comes SB 1402.  The new Bill establishes that a public list be created, posted and updated on the state’s Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) website that displays the names and information of port drayage companies who have unsatisfied legal judgments against them related to labor malpractice.  Importantly, companies can only be placed on this “blacklist” once the period of possible judicial appeals has ended.

You might be thinking “okay, a list, what’s the big deal?”  The big deal here is that the Bill also stipulates that companies who do business with a port drayage company on this blacklist will be held jointly liable for wages and damages that the drayage company may owe its drivers.  So, if you hire a company on this list, you are 50% responsible for paying wages and damages to their drivers during workweeks that they perform services for you if there are legal findings on behalf of those drivers.

The are many important caveats here of course.  This joint liability doesn’t take effect until the port drayage company in question appears on the blacklist.  Also, if you have an existing contract with a blacklisted company, you are not liable for wages and damages until the end of that contract or until 90 days from the time the company appears on the list – whichever is shorter.

How to navigate drayage in the wake of SB 1402

The new Bill can be a major headache if you hire the wrong providers – or a complete non-factor if you hire the right Los Angeles drayage companies.  One simple takeaway: hire the right providers and sidestep this issue entirely.  There are two straightforward ways to do this:

  1. Don’t hire companies on the blacklist (the initial list will be released on January 1, 2019)
  2. Only hire companies that pay their own workers hourly

The next time you talk to a California logistics company, be upfront and ask if they directly employ dray drivers.  It’s now a very common question that warrants a simple and straight answer.  If the drayage provider relies on independent owner-operators, that is now a risky proposition that demands careful consideration.

Weber Logistics is one California 3PL that hires its drayage drivers and pays them hourly.  Weber’s dray solution uses Weber associates driving Weber equipment.  So, when it comes to Senate Bill 1402, Weber is in full compliance.

  • Empire Sound was recommended to us by our venue, Chalet on the Hudson. They were absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding on 10/19/19. Dominick responded so quickly to messages and was really easy to work with when planning everything. Our DJ and MC were so much fun. They brought us drinks, danced around, and played excellent music all night. People didn't sit down all night because they really read the room and knew what to play next. We had planned a specific last dance song, but we ended up telling them to pick instead, because they were doing such an amazing job. And, of course, the last dance song was perfect! Highly, highly recommend Empire Sound. They are all really nice, laid back people who help you have a blast at your wedding!

Entice Fish with the Northland Buck-Shot® Rattle Spoon

Where has, the fall gone, we have gone from late summer conditions straight into the winter weather. We fishermen truly enjoy our fall fishing and are missing out on it this year, but what is this doing to the fish?

The fish usually have a time frame that they can adjust themselves into the winter mode of feeding and follow the water cooling trends. This year, they have been forced much quicker into preparing for the winter months and having to start their feeding mode. For the last month or so, they had been scattered in smaller groups, but finally now, getting into their early winter schools.

Lure selection, at this time of year, comes to something that can get to these fish quickly, has some sort of noise built in to attract these feeding fish and always have a flash factor. Late fall right into early winter ice, spoons are the choice for some fast action for these heavily feeding fish as they are constantly looking for a quick and bigger profile meal.

The Northland Buck-Shot® Rattle Spoon, fits right into this category and comes in a wide array of color selections, 10 variations, top that off with 6 different weight selections that not only work very well for panfish, but, also all the other predator fish as well. The built-in rattle chamber makes a variety of noises and by working the spoon in a variety of different ways, you can fine tune what those fish are looking for.

You can entice the fish into biting, by using the spoon without anything on it, just from the action and noise factor, but giving it something as an addition, is going to help the catch ratio. There are many things that can be added to the trebles for attractant from plastic baits, waxworms, minnows and minnow heads.

These spoons can be fished through any type of cover from weeds, to around rocks and through timber with some care. Fishing them in the weeds, looking for some of those pockets, works wonders as the fish will relate there on those tough high pressure days. On more normal days, working this spoon over the weeds will attract fish from great distances.

As we get further into the colder months, moving out into the basin areas of the lake can prove more productive, as these fish start to roam more. Wherever you like to fish, the Buck-Shot will help you locate, draw the fish in and catch numbers of fish. These spoons will attract fish from a distance and with the sharp hooks, keep them hooked up as well.

Add some noise to your presentation the next time that you head out and enjoy thumping some spoons around and catching some of those better fish.

Story Synopsis:
While this Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band concert does not take place in

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture takes you up close and on stage with The Boss, offering more visual detail than can be seen by those 40-somethings singing in the first row. The HD-originated images are sharp and well defined, though details like musical instruments and microphones shimmer and flicker, and aliasing problems are noticed. Colors are rich and natural, with rich black backgrounds. The picture is solid, with no apparent noise or artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

iPhone 6 Plus vs Lumia Icon

If you ask an Apple store employee for the difference between an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPhone 6, you can expect to hear that the 6 Plus has a bigger screen, but there's one more thing they'll most likely mention. The iPhone 6 Plus a better camera. That's because Apple has finally included Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) in an iPhone. Lumia cameras had this feature for a while now.

I was curious how Apple's video performance compares with the latest cameras found on the Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, and Lumia 1520. So, I went to the park and shot some videos. Watch the split screen comparison.

In this test, I held both the iPhone 6 Plus and the Lumia Icon in my hands. There were no tripods or monopods involved. The camera on the Icon is very similar to the ones found on the Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520, so the performance should be very similar.

What's also new in Apple's latest flagship devices is phase detect autofocus, which promises fast autofocus performance. Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus have this feature.

The iPhone 6 Plus and the Lumia Icon were shooting at 1080P 30 frames per second. I cropped both footages in half and placed them next to each other. I looked at both videos closely and found these observations:

  • The iPhone 6 Plus seems to focus on objects faster than the Lumia Icon.
  • When the Lumia Icon changes focus, the image seems to zoom in or out a little bit for a fraction of a second. I don't notice that on the iPhone 6 Plus.
  • The Lumia Icon has wider lens. Objects appear closer on the iPhone 6 Plus camera.
  • The iPhone 6 Plus video appears brighter, while the Lumia Icon is darker with more contrast.
  • Both performed well with Image Stabilization. It's hard for me to see if there's a clear winner here.

This test could have been done better with some kind of dual camera mount, but I didn't have one lying around. This test, however, should give you a better idea of how the cameras perform in the real world.

What are your own observations with this split screen comparison? Which footage looks better to you? The iPhone 6 Plus or the Lumia 930 (Icon)? Sound off in the comments!

Recursive Queries fail randomly

Discussion in 'DNS Server' started by Joe Palladino, Dec 6, 2007.

  1. I have two domain controllers on this network, both of them run DNS server.

    One of them NEVER fails recursive DNS queries. The other fails
    occassionally. Sometimes for 3 hours. Sometimes for 15 minutes. Sometimes
    its fine for a few days.

    In an attempt to fix this, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the DNS server
    service. I've demoted the DC and promoted it again using dcpromo.exe. I've
    removed forwarders and relied on root hints. I've tried new forwarders.
    Some times it looks like I've fixed the problem, and I pat myself on the
    back, and it breaks again at some random time with no warning.b

    I've turned on debug logging with all the options, but it honestly makes no
    sense to me.

    Any advice on how to figure out where the failure is occurring or how to fix
    it would be wonderful.

WIRED Awake June 27: Waymo brings in ZipCar owner Avis to look after its self-driving taxi fleet

Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft have joined forces to fight terrorism online, Waymo has partnered with car hire firm Avis to maintain its autonomous ride-hailing fleet

27 Jun 2017
Alphabet Waymo self-driving car

Your WIRED daily briefing. Today, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft have joined forces to fight terrorism online, Waymo has partnered with car hire firm Avis to maintain its autonomous ride-hailing fleet, Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 11 and more.

1. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft have joined forces to fight terrorism

Four of the world's world's biggest online firms have formed a partnership to fight the spread of extremism and terrorism on the internet (TechCrunch). Formed by Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Microsoft, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism will build on the companies' existing measures against hate speech and terrorist propaganda to develop technological solutions, research and knowledge-sharing frameworks with other companies, academics and governments. Twitter says: "The spread of terrorism and violent extremism is a pressing global problem and a critical challenge for us all… We believe that by working together, sharing the best technological and operational elements of our individual efforts, we can have a greater impact on the threat of terrorist content online."

2. Waymo signs deal with Avis car hire to maintain self-driving fleet

Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car company, has forged a deal with car hire firm Avis to store and service Waymo's fleet of self-driving Chrysler Pacifica minivans in Phoenix, Arizona (Ars Technica). Avis, which also owns the worldwide ZipCar hire network, is a natural partner for Waymo, which is currently running an autonomous ride-hailing service in Phoenix but doesn't have the experience and broad industry network of its autonomous vehicle hire rivals such as Uber. Avis shares rose 12.5 per cent in response to the news.

3. Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 11

Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 11, the latest version of the operating system driving the world's iPhones and iPads (WIRED). Anyone with a taste for risk and patience for bugginess can install iOS 11 now, ahead of its actual release this autumn. The biggest difference is iOS 11's new drag and drop functionality. Pick up two images in Photos, drag them over the Mail icon, then drop them in as email attachments. You can drag a URL or a string of text from Safari into Notes. You can add 10 apps to a folder at once. While it might not sound revolutionary, it tidies up a lot of time-wasting repetition. Other new features include the ability to run up to four apps side-by-side onscreen and integrated QR code scanning.

4. Almost all UN World Heritage coral reefs have suffered catastrophic bleaching

A report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has found that 26 of the 29 coral reefs on its World Heritage list have been damaged by coral bleaching and may never recover (Science). Bleaching is caused by overly warm ocean temperatures, which make the corals expel their colourful symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, which normally make food for both themselves and their coral hosts. If water temperatures return to normal, the algae can return before the corals die, but UNESCO says that unless greenhouse gas emissions and global warming are curtailed, the affected areas "will cease to host functioning coral reef ecosystems by the end of the century".

5. Russia threatens to ban Telegram

Russia's telecoms regulator has ordered encrypted messaging app Telegram to give security services access to users' messages or be banned in the country (Telegram). The FSB security agency says the app was used by the perpetrator of a suicide bomb attack in St Petersberg in April and is known to be favoured by Daesh terrorist organisers and recruiters – something Telegram has taken efforts to stamp out. Telegram founder Pavel Durov has said that the demand to hand over decryption keys is both unconstitutional and technically impossible. If Telegram is banned, he says, terrorists will simply switch to another encrypted platform: "If you want to defeat terrorism by blocking stuff, you’ll have to block the Internet”.

6. How bubbles can help us treat cancer

Injecting bubbles in the bloodstream is usually the cause of a medical emergency, but that's precisely what Eleanor Stride intends to do to help us fight cancer (WIRED). The biomedical engineer from the University of Oxford has developed a method of delivering cancer drugs by encapsulating them inside microbubbles. This allows for a precise delivery of the drug to a target tumour, improving the efficacy of the treatment. "In conventional chemotherapy, even using nanoparticles, less than 1 per cent of the total injected dose makes it into the tumour," Stride says. "And all of that material is deposited close to the blood vessels at the tumour periphery". Stride’s research has shown that microbubbles help push cancer drugs four times deeper into a tumour and increase the uptake of the drug. "By using microbubbles and ultrasound we can control when and where a drug gets released, and crucially also distribute it throughout a tumour," she says.

7. Study: moral-emotional language makes political tweets spread further

A new study has examined the linguistic constructions that make political tweets go viral, and the results could help explain the success of US president Donald Trump's oddly-formed online rhetoric (The Verge). The researchers from New York University found that political messages that used "moral-emotional language" were more widely shared by people who agreed with them – but not by people whose initial opinions and political position differed. Examples of moral-emotional language include 'hate', while by comparison, 'duty' is a simply moral word and 'fear' is a purely emotional one; Trump's characteristic use of 'Sad!' as an end-of-sentence ejaculation would also fall into the moral-emotional category.

8. Participate in the world's largest sleep deprivation study

Researchers from Canada's Western University are inviting people from around the world to participate in what they hope will become the largest ever study on the effects of sleep deprivation on the human brain (BBC News). Participants will play a range of online games to assess the brain's performance when both rested and sleep deprived, looking at reasoning, language comprehension and decision-making skills. Lead scientist Prof Adrian Owen told BBC News: "We all know what it feels like to not get enough sleep but we know very little about the effects on the brain; we want to see how it affects cognition, memory and your ability to concentrate".

9. Nintendo's SNES Classic Mini is coming in September

Nintendo has confirmed that it will be releasing the widely-anticipated SNES Classic Edition mini-console on September 29, priced £79.99 (VG24/7). It'll come loaded with 21 beloved games, including Earthbound, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Star Fox and Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. Most surprising of all, Nintendo will include the never-released Star Fox 2 – cancelled at the end of the SNES's life after the game had already been completed – on the tiny console. Nintendo has also announced that Japan will be getting the Super Famicom Mini, with a slightly different selection of games, including Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem.

10. Secret World Legends has launched in its free incarnation

Funcom's Lovecraftian MMORPG Secret World Legends has launched in its new free-to-play incarnation (Rock, Paper, Shotgun). It's an upgrade to the original, paid-for MMO, The Secret World, with refined combat and skills systems to make it less daunting to new players and emphasise the game's acclaimed narrative. You can sign up and play for free now, and the game will be coming to Steam in July.

Project Purple: the real story of how the iPhone was born

In 2003, Apple was working on new types of inputs for the Mac. The plan was to get rid of the mouse and keyboard, and the team began to experiment with multitouch — rotating and zooming on-screen with a few careful flicks of the finger. One of the first prototypes of a finger-controlled tablet was known as Model 035, a large white tablet that looked something like a clunky precursor to the iPad. But at the same time, the mobile phone race began to take over and Apple made an important decision to change direction, that would revolutionise phones forever.

Lawyers, Not Ethicists, Will Solve the Robocar 'Trolley Problem'

Lawyers, Not Ethicists, Will Solve the Robocar 'Trolley Problem'

Lawyers, Not Ethicists, Will Solve the Robocar 'Trolley Problem'

People seem more than a bit freaked out by the trolley problem right now. The 60s-era thought experiment, occasionally pondered with a bong in hand, requires that you imagine a runaway trolley barreling down the tracks toward five people. You stand at a railway switch with the power to divert the trolley to another track, where just one person stands. Do you do it?

This ethical exercise takes on new meaning at the dawn of the autonomous age. Given a similar conundrum, does a robocar risk the lives of five pedestrians, or its passengers? Of course, it isn't the car making the decision. The software engineers are making it, cosseted in their dim engineering warrens. They will play God. Or so the theory goes.

Giving machines the ability to decide who to kill is a staple of dystopian science fiction. And it explains why three out of four American drivers say they are afraid of self-driving cars. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration even suggested creating something of an "ethical" test for companies developing the technology.

But the good news is, that point might be moot. In a paper published in Northwestern University Law Review, Stanford University researcher Bryan Casey deems the trolley problem irrelevant. He argues that it's already been solved—not by ethicists or engineers, but by the law. The companies building these cars will “less concerned with esoteric questions of right and wrong than with concrete questions of predictive legal liability,” he writes. Meaning, lawyers and lawmakers will sort things out.

Solving the Trolley Problem

“The trolley problem presents already solved issues—and we solve them democratically through a combination of legal liability and consumer psychology,” says Casey. “Profit maximizing firms look to those incentivizing mechanisms to choose the best behavior in all kinds of contexts.” In other words: Engineers will take their cues not from ethicists, but from the limits of the technology, tort law, and consumers’ tolerance for risk.

Casey cites Tesla as an example. Drivers of those Muskian brainchildren can switch on Autopilot and let the car drive itself down the highway. Tesla engineers could have programmed the cars to go slowly, upping safety. Or they could have programmed them to go fast, the better to get you where you need to be. Instead, they programmed the cars to follow the speed limit, minimizing Tesla's risk of liability show something go awry.

“Do [engineers] call in the world’s greatest body of philosophers and commission some great treatise? No,” says Casey. “They don’t fret over all the moral and ethical externalities that could result from going significantly lower than the speed limit or significantly higher. They look to the law, the speed limit, and follow the incentives that the law is promoting.” By that, he means that if policymakers and insurers decide to, say, place the liability for all crashes on the autonomous cars, the companies making them will work very hard to minimize the risk of anything going wrong.

The public has a say in this too, of course. “[T]he true designers of machine morality will not be the cloistered engineering teams of tech giants like Google, Tesla, or Mercedes, but ordinary citizens,” writes Casey. Lawmakers and regulators will respond to the will of the public, and if they don't, automakers will. In January, Tesla pushed an Autopilot update that lets cars zip along at up to 5 mph over the limit on some roads, after owners complained about getting passed by everyone else. The market spoke, and Tesla responded.

Ethics in Self-Driving Cars

Still, thought exercises like the trolley problem helps gauge the public's thoughts on autonomous vehicles. "When you’re trying to understand what people value, it’s helpful to eliminate all the nuance,” says Noah Goodall, a transportation researcher with the Virginia Transportation Research Council who studies self-driving cars. The thought experiment can provide a broad overview of what kinds of guidelines people want for those cars, and the problems they want addressed. But it can confuse them, too, because they are the fringe case at the fringe of fringe cases. "Trolley problems are pretty unrealistic—they throw people," says Goodall.

The trolley problem also assumes a level of sophistication from the technology that remains quite some way down the road. At the moment, robocars cannot discern a child from a senior citizen, or a group of two people from three people–which makes something like the trolley problem highly theoretical. "Sometimes it's hard to come to a fine-grain determination of what's around [the car]," says Karl Iagnemma, who used to head up the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Robotics Mobility Group and is now the CEO of the self-driving software startup nuTonomy. "Typically the information that's processed by a self-driving car is reasonably coarse, so it can be hard to make these judgments off of coarse data."

Helping people feel comfortable with autonomous vehicles requires "being upfront about what these vehicles really do," Goodall says. "They prevent a lot of crashes, a lot of deaths. Fine-tuning things are difficult, but companies should prove they put some thought into it." More than 35,000 people die on American roads every year; over 1.25 million people die worldwide. Worrying about the ethical dilemmas of something like the trolley problem won't save lives, but honing autonomous technology might.

But in addition to hiring more engineers, all these companies developing robocars might want to hire a few smart lawyers. Turns out they'll have a hand in the future of mobility, too.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) Go Wild initiative encourages people to “Go Wild” by heading outdoors and enjoying recreational opportunities made possible by sound management of the state’s natural resources.

The Go Wild brand is a highly visible part of a customer licensing system that started in 2016, which makes it easier than ever for DNR customers to purchase licenses, register boats and recreational vehicles and get information on hunter education and safety classes. The system is available at more than 1,000 vendors statewide and through mobile devices at GoWild.Wi.Gov.

The system will store information online. Customers can purchase an optional conservation card, eliminating the need to carry the old thermal paper licenses. License options will include hunting licenses, fishing licenses, conservation patron licenses and boat, ATV and UTV registration renewals.

The DNR provided answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the Go Wild system.

What do I carry with me as proof of my license?

Every completed transaction will provide a printable output. Customers will receive a sales receipt, license document, tags or harvest authorizations and operating passes in a printable format whether purchasing online or at one of more than 1,000 partnering vendors. Additionally, Go Wild provides other options for most licenses.

Check the website or your regulations pamphlets to find out where you can use an optional conservation card or display permissions on your cell phone. The system also will allow you to use your Wisconsin driver’s license, if authenticated within the Go Wild system. While in the past customers purchased licenses and permits and were provided with thermal paper documentation, with the Go Wild system, these permissions are stored electronically and can be accessed in many convenient ways.

What about youth hunters who don’t have a driver’s license?

One of the best new features of Go Wild is flexibility. Youth and nonresidents have the option to purchase a conservation card to use as card documentation since the Wisconsin driver’s license is not an option. Other options include using the display from a mobile device or using the printable documents provided through all sales channels.

Will you have your hunter education identification on your card?

Yes! All hunter safety certificates will be accessible via the conservation card and authenticated Wisconsin driver’s license and also will be printed on your license documents.  Customers will have the option to print a single certificate “card” from their account at any time.

How do I validate my harvest, what do I punch without a harvest tag?

When you purchase your license, either at a vendor or at home, you will receive a printed paper copy of your harvest permits or authorizations, such as spring turkey or deer. Each tag (bear, sharp-tailed grouse and sturgeon) will include instructions and a “validation stub” that must be removed to validate the tag. However, deer and turkey tags/authorizations no longer need to be validated or attached to the harvest, and a conservation card, authenticated WI driver’s license or digital file displayed on a mobile device are acceptable forms of deer tags and turkey harvest authorizations.

How do I register a harvest if I am not carrying a paper tag or harvest authorization?

Paper tags or authorizations contain a unique tag authorization number that is required to start the registration process. You can also find a list of your tag authorization numbers in the GameReg section of your Go Wild account.

Will all states be doing this so another state will know my license and history?

Hunting regulations and licenses are established at the state level so you would still need to buy a separate license in others states and follow those procedures. Some states already have electronic license sales and access while others do not.

What if I don’t hunt or fish?

GoWild.Wi.Gov is the gateway to outdoor recreation in Wisconsin. The website includes access to information on camping, details on outdoor activities, information on state parks and links to land maps, to name a few.
