PerimeterX Protects $5B+ Worldwide E-commerce Revenue during Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday

PerimeterX Protects $5B+ Worldwide E-commerce Revenue

During the Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping period, U.S. online retail sales hit $28.49 billion, up 17.7% from $24.21 billion the same holiday period last year, per Adobe Analytics. Cyber Monday alone topped $9.4 billion in sales! During that period, PerimeterX found that 94% of total login attempts on the top e-commerce sites were malicious and blocked them, dramatically reducing the load and risk from our customers’ infrastructure. This enabled our customers to realize blockbuster online revenue surpassing $5 billion for the five-day period. With visits from smartphones growing 19% year-over-year and accounting for 54% of traffic to retail websites, it was critical for our customers to have a superior bot mitigation solution protecting both web and mobile applications.

E-commerce Login Traffic - Holiday Weekend

Fraud-related direct-losses stemming from account takeover (ATO) and carding range in the billions of dollars. However, the total financial impact from the threat of these attacks is not easy to estimate. One impact of automated attacks on e-commerce websites that site owners routinely miscalculate is site downtime resulting from such attacks. Lost online sales during the five-day period are impossible to recuperate. Even if just 1% of the total revenue protected by PerimeterX during the holiday weekend were to be lost due to degraded site performance, it would exceed $50 million in lost revenue!

During the holiday season, retailers also regularly release limited availability products that drive a high amount of scalping bot (aka grinch bot) checkout activity. Overall we’ve seen increased activity of these bots in the month of November leading to Black Friday, where on some days 67% of requests in the checkout flow were malicious. During the 5-day period of the holiday weekend, we detected and blocked up to 96% of requests on checkout around specific sales events. Timely detection and prevention of these attacks helped protect revenue and brand loyalty.

As expected, scraping and carding attacks spiked before the holiday season and remained steady during the busiest buying weekend. Scraping thousands of deals from various competitors and dynamically updating online deals is a herculean task for website owners. The scraping attacks during this year’s holiday weekend accounted for 20% of the total traffic on the product pages. Stolen cards had to be verified prior to this weekend and the attack data reflects that trend, with no significant change in the volume or the sophistication of carding attacks. During this weekend, attackers typically reap the fruit of their efforts, using the stolen cards they have collected leading up to the holiday.

Detecting and stopping automated attacks as early as possible is the key to positive user experience and maximizing online revenue. Superior application security shouldn’t come at the expense of user interruption. By continuously evaluating risks to one’s web application infrastructure, retailers can avoid incurring millions of dollars in losses and safeguard their brand during the time of year when it matters most.

Ocean City has officially banned smoking on the beach

Jersey Shore Smoking
Ocean City Boardwalk Stock_Carroll Thom Carroll/PhillyVoice

The Boardwalk in Ocean City New Jersey.

After ongoing consideration, Ocean City, New Jersey is officially the next shore town slated to ban smoking and vaping on the beach.

City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Thursday that will make the ban effective starting early July. Cigars, cigarettes, vapes and e-cigarettes will be off limits.

The City Council meeting discussing the bill saw insight from both sides of the banning debate, with some councilmembers worrying about implicating too many regional restrictions, with other councilmembers saying that the ban is wanted by a majority of residents.

“We are way, way, way too overregulated,” said Councilperson Michael DeVlieger, the Cape May County Herald reported. “But in this case, it’s not a lifestyle thing; it’s a health thing.”

Exposure to second-hand smoke was a major factor in moving forward with the ban. The ordinance previously passed stated it wanted to protect beachgoers, especially children, from inhaling second-hand smoke. Though second-hand smoke isn't an issue with vaping, the Surgeon General previously said that vaping devices can produce harmful chemicals that could be inhaled second-hand.

Though there is potential for a bill to move forward that will induce the ban statewide, the local rule passed first. Former Gov. Chris Christie vetoed similar smoking ban legislation in 2016, but current New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy still has the bill under consideration. Before the law could pass statewide, however, it has been implemented at the local level in Ocean City.

Other beaches to implement similar bans throughout the Jersey Shore this year include Asbury Park, Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Point Pleasant. Smoking is also prohibited on the boardwalk in the Wildwoods.

11 Best Music Venues in Phoenix of 2015

Last month New Times celebrated the city with our 37th annual Best of Phoenix edition. Here are our top picks for the best places to catch live music in Metro Phoenix.

Best Country Bar
Norton's Country Corner

The trek to Queen Creek might be too far for downtown Phoenix types, but if you're looking for a genuine honky-tonk, the drive to Norton's Country Corner is worth it. The saloon is under new ownership, but its Western bona fides remain unassailable, featuring great acts like the Harry Luge Band and Rattlecat Junction on stage and ice-cold domestics behind the bar. Named for Clarence and Willie Mae Norton, who ran a corner store in the 1930s (it sold liquor, of course), the Queen Creek location's sign is classic: a black-and-white rider on a bucking bull. And even if prices have gone up a little since the days of the Nortons, the Country Corner still offers nickel beer nights, a perfect catalyst for dancing in the banquet hall all night long to the twangy bands on stage.
Best Rockabilly Bar
Blooze Bar

Stumble up to the Blooze Bar on any given night and you're likely to see a vintage roadster parked out front and a band playing revved-up hillbilly blues on stage. Acts such as the Rhythm Dragons, Dirty Dice, Nathan Payne and the Wild Bores, and Tommy Price and the Stilettos represent the venue's Thursday rockabilly bash, where slicked-back pompadours, tattooed women in vintage pinup dresses, and upright basses set the scene for real rave-ups. Housed in a strip mall in North Phoenix, the Blooze Bar hosts local metal bands and sports fans, too, but it's on Thursday nights that the venue really shines, tapping into the thumping, jumping rhythms of plucked bass and reverb-laden, twangy Gretsch guitars.
Best Punk Bar
Rips Ales and Cocktails

It's no secret that Rips Ales & Cocktails is one of the best dive bars in town. But the bar is more than just cheap beer and good people. It hosts live music fairly regularly, and when there's a punk show going down, look out. Tight quarters make for the best crowds, and when you're in a place like Rips, you feel out of place if you're not head-banging and jumping around when there's a band playing. Punk music might not have the same cultural cache as it once did, but catch a punk band at Rips, and it won't matter: You'll be having too good a time to care.
Best Nightclub
BLUR Nightclub

In Old Town Scottsdale, clubs come and go so quickly that it's hard to pick a favorite, as there's a good chance it'll be gone in five years. BLUR, for example, is less than a year old, taking the place of Smashboxx, which itself had a shelf life of less than one presidential term. But for now, we'll enjoy BLUR, which has the best atmosphere around. It's got a big old dance floor, carefully lit with colorful lights, VIP tables galore, and a patio filled with comfortable couches for when you need a break from the tasteful EDM playing inside.
Best New Nightclub

Scottsdale's Livewire is a spectacular place. As Tempe lost numerous music venues and bars in 2014, Scottsdale gained Livewire. The club is in the heart of Old Town, where live entertainment usually means a top-shelf DJ or a cover band. But Livewire is different. The 11,000-square-foot club boasts a top-notch stage and brings in high-quality touring bands, a rarity for Scottsdale's entertainment district. Everything about the club screams class that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are pictures of famous musicians on the walls, sure, but the frames are digital, meaning that they change and occasionally display video throughout the night. The bars (there are multiple, as the venue is two stories) are sleek and beautiful. And then there's the crowning jewel of the venue: A giant wooden eagle, with a wingspan that must be 25 feet long, towers above the stage, wings spread valiantly to each side. Instead of feathers, there are guitars and speakers. Could a piece of art be more rock 'n' roll?
Best New Venue
Valley Bar

You could shorthand Valley Bar as Crescent Ballroom's little sister, and though you'd mostly be correct, it doesn't quite capture the vibe of Charlie Levy's new subterranean venue. Getting in has a wonderfully speakeasy aura: down an alley and then down a flight of stairs, where the club is divided into the music hall, where bands like Tanlines and Screaming Females play and local DJs provide themed nights, and the Rose Room, a lounge named for Arizona's first female governor, Rose Mofford, with games, beautiful pool tables, and a selection of cocktails named for Arizona's political elite (don't worry, the McCain is much smoother than its namesake). One of our favorite activities? New Times' monthly Bar Flies, in which Phoenicians share hilarious and touching anecdotes (we admit — we're biased). With food from Short Leash Hot Dogs, Valley Bar is another winner, and much like its big sister down the road, it's quickly become a go-to hangout for locals of all stripes.
Best Rebooted Venue
Rebel Lounge

It is 100 percent accurate to call promoter Steve Chilton's Rebel Lounge a new music venue. The space opened in 2015, after all, and before Chilton bought the place, it had been two different gay bars for more than a decade. But we're calling this a "reboot venue" because of the history of the building where the Rebel Lounge resides. From 1979 to 2004, the building housed the Mason Jar. Any old-school music fan's ears will perk up at the mention of the storied venue, where bands like Tool, Nirvana, and others reportedly played shows early in their respective careers. But the Rebel Lounge is more than its history. With a brand-new sound system, stage, lights, and bar, the venue is primed to start its own chapter in Phoenix music history.
Best Venue For Local Acts
Yucca Tap Room

Yucca Tap Room is one of the best rock bars in the Valley, period. Featuring the perfect combination of quality food and drink and divey atmosphere, Yucca has stalwartly maintained its presence as an oasis for live music in Tempe as surrounding venues have dropped like beats at a dubstep show. Yucca has anchored itself as both a destination for underground touring bands and locals who have gained somewhat of a following. And don't forget one of the best bonuses of playing at Yucca: Double Nickel Collective, a kickass record store, is just next door. So, if the music gets too loud or stops matching your taste, you can pop over and flip through records more to your liking.
Best Venue For National Acts
Crescent Ballroom

There are a number of reasons Crescent Ballroom is the first venue Phoenix residents mention to their music-loving friends when they come for a visit. First, the venue is so cool that beautiful people go there to eat and hang when there's not even a show happening, because the cocktails and food are both simple, delicious, and reasonably priced. Then, inside the ballroom, there's great sound, bleachers in the back for tired legs, and two bars, perfect for the 550-capacity venue, so there's rarely a wait for drinks. It's a wonderful spot to catch an intimate show, as well as a great place to cut loose when the situation demands.
Best Rock Club
Lost Leaf

Lost Leaf is a bar/music venue that offers live music seven nights a week on Roosevelt Row's vibrant Fifth Street. It's a fine example of the adaptive reuse that gives the downtown arts district its character — Lost Leaf resides in an old home that at one point housed a Max's Sausage store. This means the interior of Lost Leaf doesn't feel anything like a modern venue; you wend your way around the bar and past walls adorned with painting by local artists to get to where the bands perform. But you can't really call it a stage at Lost Leaf. It's more of a nook, a rectangular recess that squeezes the band into close quarters and shoehorns spectators into a similar area just out in front, wedged between the band, the bathrooms, the exit to the smoking area, and the bar. The result is perfect for rock. The small area creates density, feeding musicians the energy of a packed house, which the band in turn unleashes on the audience. It's rock 'n' roll paradise.
Best Blues Club
Rhythm Room

This year, B.B. King, one of the last true blues superstars, passed away. It's fitting that his visage is now painted on the side of the Rhythm Room, Phoenix's premier blues club, alongside roots icons like Little Walter, Big Mama Thornton, Memphis Minnie, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters. Painted by local artist Curt Condrat, the mural represents the aims of Bob Corritore: preserving and celebrating the blues. Host of Those Lowdown Blues radio program Sunday nights on KJZZ 91.5 for the past 30 years, Corritore is no slouch on the harmonica himself, and in addition to performing around the world, he opened the Rhythm Room in 1991 and has maintained it as a destination for local blues bands like the Sugar Thieves, the Rocket 88s, and Cold Shott & the Hurricane Horns, as well as a stop for touring acts like Janiva Magness, Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, and Joe Louis Walker. Twenty-four years on, the Rhythm Room remains the Valley's most storied juke joint.

Arpaio's Attorneys Try Blocking Damning Evidence from Contempt Trial

Shamelessness must be a requirement to work for Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Just hours before the second round in Arpaio's contempt trial was set to begin this morning in federal court, his attorney, John Masterson (one of several), submitted a motion to block "any inquiry during the continued contempt proceedings regarding the investigation and issues involving Dennis Montgomery."

Masterson blithely argued the MCSO's hiring of the supposed Seattle computer guru as part of a yearlong secret effort by Arpaio to undermine federal Judge G. Murray Snow, the jurist overseeing the big civil rights case Melendres v. Arpaio, is "not relevant" to whether or not Arpaio and four current and former MCSO higher-ups are in contempt of court.

Moreover, even if the judge decides that it is relevant to the proceedings, Masterson insists that anything and everything to do with the Seattle investigation — which has cost taxpayers as much as $1 million, all told, according to my sources — should be precluded from the hearings because of the "danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, and wasting the Court’s time."

At this point is where a good comedian would do a spit take.

My lawyer friends tell me that such motions are all about preserving issues for appeal. Perhaps this is understandable considering the mountain of evidence already pointing to Arpaio and Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan's likely criminal contempt of court.

Remember, Arpaio and Sheridan admitted their civil contempt of Judge Snow's orders in Melendres before the first round of contempt hearings in April.
Why, Arpaio even offered to pay $100,000 out of his own (ahem) pocket as a fine, and both men generously suggested that a county fund be established in the amount of $350,000 to deal with any claims arising as a result of their inability to follow orders from a federal court.

The April hearings proceeded to establish a record of the MCSO's wrongdoing, and to determine if their was evidence that the defiance of Snow's orders was "willful" and therefore, "criminal."

From the April hearings alone, there was enough evidence gleaned to point to willful defiance of the court in three areas: Snow's 2011 order that the MCSO not enforce civil immigration law; Snow's May 14, 2014 instruction that the MCSO quietly cooperate with the court-appointed monitor to gather traffic-stop videos from its deputies; and the violation of the MCSO's pre-trial discovery responsibilities, by not turning over such videos to the plaintiffs.

Issues involving Montgomery, the Seattle investigation and an additional investigation of Judge Snow's wife concerning random comments that her husband disliked Arpaio and wanted him out of power, allegedly made in 2012, came to light during the April testimony of Sheridan and Arpaio, who each confirmed the existence of these investigations, first revealed by New Times in June 2014 and January 2015.

As recently published portions of depositions of MCSO employees and Arpaio's former attorney Tim Casey have shown, these investigations were done as a means of undermining the court.

Indeed, Casey testified that he learned in late 2013/early 2014 of the Seattle investigation and its attempt to gin up an anti-Arpaio conspiracy involving Snow, the U.S. Department of Justice and scores of other individuals and entities, while at a meeting called by Arpaio.

Casey said he and the other attorneys present thought the investigation was "vindictive" and "hogwash."
But Arpaio bought the conspiracy theory hook line and sinker, ordering MCSO investigators travel to and from Seattle for 13 months, racking up bills, and paying Montgomery at least $120,000 in the process.

The sheriff even donated, according to one deposition, $10,000 of his own money to the Cold Case Posse so its civilian "commander" Mike Zullo could participate in the operation.

Arpaio and Sheridan admitted in their April testimonies that what they got from Montgomery was "junk," but they told Snow that they were never investigating him, never looking into some wacky conspiracy theory involving his court.

How the worm has turned. No wonder Masterson wishes to bar this evidence from the hearings.

Indeed, the evidence and testimony amassed since April may well point to further criminal misdeeds by his clients, perjury being but one.

And this evidence further demonstrates a pattern of never-ending defiance of federal court authority by Arpaio and his underlings.

The great irony is that the sheriff's attorneys recently attempted to use both the Seattle investigation and the investigation of Snow's wife as a means to recuse Snow from this case.

But after a multi-week delay in the case, Snow denied the recusal motion.

Then, Arpaio's platoon of pettifoggers used the same information in seeking to have the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals remove Snow from the case, an attempt the Ninth Circuit denied.

Another recent, ironic motion is an attempt by Masterson, et al. to keep the plaintiffs from using the testimony of a private investigator hired by the MCSO to conduct internal affairs investigations on its upper echelon. This, regarding the MCSO's defiance of Snow's 2011 preliminary injunction.

The investigator, Don Vogel, the same shamus hired by Tim Casey to investigate Snow's wife, said in a recent deposition that there are problems with the MCSO's process of investigating itself.

In fact, Vogel testified that he was "shocked" when he found out his investigative findings regarding Sheridan and others largely were declared "not sustained" by the MCSO.

Vogel was asked by a plaintiffs attorney if "something should have happened to somebody," discipline-wise, as a result of his investigations.

"Based on the information that's contained in my report, yes I do," said Vogel.

So Vogel doesn't want to go along with the MCSO's whitewash of itself and Arpaio's attorneys want to keep that out of the court hearing?

Well, you can certainly see why.

Snapdragon 810 didn't overheat on any commercial device says Qualcomm's marketing chief

Snapdragon 810 didn't overheat on any commercial device says Qualcomm's marketing chief
Qualcomm’s VP of marketing, Tim McDonough, says that the Snapdragon 810 never had a heating problem. Speaking with business magazine Forbes, the executive said that all of the rumors about the chipset running hot were "rubbish." McDonough did admit that early versions of the HTC One M9 and the LG G Flex 2 did overheat, but those were devices being tested and were not for commercial release.

McDonough pointed out that pre-release products are built to find bugs. He said, "Pre-released hardware doesn’t act like commercial hardware, it’s just part of the development process." His theory is that someone took the test results and leaked the information to what he calls "less sophisticated news outlets" in order to spread a story. He hints that in order to find out who was responsible for spreading the rumor, you have to ask yourself who benefits from this news. And while the overheating rumors conveniently opened the door for Samsung to use its home grown Exynos 7420 on the entire production run of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, the marketing executive refuses to play "Clue." He did say that for both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung used mostly Qualcomm chips.

Qualcomm isn't totally shut out from participation in the success of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. McDonough points out that there is a "significant modem business for us there." He also reiterated that  LG's decision to use the Snapdragon 808 instead of the Snapdragon 810 was made a good 18 months before the phone launched, well before the Snapdragon 810 overheating talk started.

Qualcomm has high hopes for the Snapdragon 820, which will launch later this year. The chip includes a computing platform called Zeroth which will know if the phone user is inside or outside and whether it is day or night. This way, it can manually adjust the phone's camera to take the best photograph. It also will be able to index pictures by keywords thanks to its ability to recognize images.

Qualcomm plans on releasing an SDK for Zeroth to give developers an opportunity to do something with it. It's all part of Qualcomm's strategy to win back any business it might have lost because of the issues that surrounded the Snapdragon 810, whether they were deserved or not. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon 810 continues to power the HTC One M9, the LG G Flex 2 and the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. The latter, which consumers in China can pre-order starting today, is the most ambitiously spec'd phone from the manufacturer.

Why wooden objects can make the difference in your place

Are you also lovers of interior places warm and welcoming? So there is nothing better for you than a selection of wood objects!

Are you also lovers of interior places that are warm and welcoming? If so, there is nothing better for you than a selection of wooden objects, whose natural colour shades give a soft and delicate tone to your environment.

1) That's why wooden objects are always a good idea!

An undeniable advantage of the wooden objects is definitely their adaptability to a lot of different environments: indeed, unlike metal articles in our home which give a strong modern touch, wooden objects are timeless. In case you decide to make some big changes to your interior style, you will still be able to keep your solid wood furniture and reinvent it for your pleasure, giving them a new lease of life.

Moreover, because of the classic charm, you will never get tired of wooden furniture, always finding new inspiration and being able to revamp your interior space with the sensations of new products made from wood.

It could also be interesting to look for something new, once at your place; you won't be able to live without it anymore!An example could be a particular lamp, which may have a wooden upper part and be of original and unique shapes. More over, a wooden coat stand with a creative structure could change the aspect of your room, adding a colourful touch.Another idea could be to insert a big lamp or amirrorin your living room, an accessory that will bring a breath of fresh air which you could move around your place freely.

2) Different wooden styles for different home styles

Every house has its own style and this is an undeniable truth. That's why sometimes for us it becomes difficult to match everything to the same style and we have to try to coordinate every colour in an interior with a well-defined style. Some easy rules can make your life easier.

In fact, if you love light colours, soft shades and that rough, timeless style, your best choice can be industrial style furniture, in which the main characters are furniture with authentic soul. In this case, it's perfect to have some rough wooden furniture, like a big table, perfect with some wooden chairs and wonderful vintage style sofas to complete the scene.On the other hand, if you have to furnish a bedroom, why not choose a wooden chest of drawers or some dark wooden bedroom furniture to put with an open wardrobe or metal accessory.

If you prefer the Scandinavian style, a cleaner feel with lighter colours, typical from the northern countries, where light is lacking and interiors are made to appear as luminous as possible, the nuances of light wood and the simple and geometric design will be the principal characteristics. Modern interiors can easily be seen with a lot of tables, especially smaller tables, whose spindly and elegant lines can make the environment feel much lighter. Also, accessories complete the environment around them, they are useful but without making everything heavier, unlike rough wooden furniture. Very important will be also considering the dimensions of the place: if you have a small loft in the city center, one of these styles will be a wonderful alternative to furnish the space you have, where the available surface is limited and everything has a specific position and role.

Another style that is becoming increasingly appreciated is the vintage style, a universe of furniture that seems to come (or that really does come) directly from the last century. In this case, unmissable in your collection of furniture is a wonderful rough wood wardrobe to add to your solid wood furniture.

3) The perfect match to your wooden objects

The perfect matches with wood, especially rough wood, at first has to be decided amongst the different wood types, from the limitless wooden art world. A good starting point can be to keep the same wood type for the whole furniture of the house, from beech tree furniture to oak ones, there is a wide variety.To combine darker wood colours with warm tones can help incorporate some colourful touches into your interior space. Meanwhile, rough wood colors can be combined with 'colder' furniture, such as opaque or polished ones, for a good looking effect. There are also other elements to be considered for these matches, like sofas and armchairs in a living room or in a bedroom.

If you want to be sure to have enough harmony in your rooms, your first choice has to start with one of the main furniture pieces and then match the rest accordingly.

As you have probably understood already, wood can be a good ally for our interiors and for those who are unexperienced, it won't be difficult to find new furniture for the best space in their places!

Bus Stop Shelter for Cascade Heights

 Daniel Snider    General Announcement, Infrastructure, Mobility
Perspective photo of bus stop shelter in cascade heights

What began as an inquiry by Atlanta’s former Chief Bicycle Officer in December 2017 would later develop into our participation in a pilot project of the Placemaking Program, an Atlanta Department of City Planning initiative announced in early 2018.

Over the course of 5 months, we develop a variety of potential proposals for locations in Cascade Heights & N.Highland / Amsterdam. The project scope was eventually narrowed down to developing a bus stop shelter to accommodate local commuters of MARTA bus route 71. As one of the busiest routes in the MARTA bus system, the Cascade Heights Business District as a corridor, in particular, lacked a bus stop shelter to provide residents some shelter from the elements.

Community meetings were hosted and managed by Atlanta City Studio, which operates out of Cascade Heights and also oversaw management of the project. As design-builder, we handled the fabrication and subcontracting of the shelter’s components, and also managed concrete work on-site to anchor the structure for installation. The project was completed for less than $17,500, and all labor was provided pro-bono by our core team and helpful volunteers. The agreed design for the bus stop shelter was delivered, and after a few final changes requested by the city, we finished our first long-term project and only one for 2018. We left Cascade Heights with a valuable street amenity that improves their experience as users of public space and riders of MARTA. Expect more to come for 2019!

VANOC to provide HAZ MAT training, equipment

Sliding Centre to house large volume of hazardous chemical

By Alison Taylor

Olympic organizers will fund Whistler firefighters with hazardous material training and equipment in case of an ammonia leak at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

The centre will be home to one of the largest storehouses of ammonia in North America. Roughly 150,000 pounds of the hazardous material, used to cool the Olympic bobsled/luge track, will be delivered to the resort next fall.

In high concentrations the chemical will attack the eyes, nose, lining of the mouth, armpits and groin areas during exposure.

“Our biggest concern from a fire perspective is a leak,” said assistant fire chief Rob Whitton, adding that he believes the safeguards are in place to mitigate the possibility of a leak.

To date there has never been an ammonia leak at any other bobsled track around the world.

The local fire department is not currently equipped to manage a hazardous material spill. They have HAZ MAT awareness training only.

“We don’t have the full encapsulating suits,” said Whitton. “We do not have the training for operations level HAZ MAT so in our current position we would be required to wait until an industry response team could make themselves available.”

The closest team, he added, is an hour and half away in the Lower Mainland.

However, due to the high level of concern around a potential leak the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic Games has decided to upgrade both the training and the equipment of local firefighters. VANOC will fund the initial costs and the Whistler Legacies Society will cover the long-term operations costs.

“We’ll be providing equipment,” said Jan Jansen, VANOC’s director of the Whistler Sliding Centre.

The sliding centre is located on Blackcomb Mountain, just above Base 2. A makeshift set of trailers there is the command centre for the $100 million track, designed to be one of the fastest and steepest of the 15 comparable tracks around the world.

Like the majority of tracks around the world, the Whistler track will have liquid ammonia running through pipes underneath the concrete to keep the ice surface cold.

Ammonia is a common refrigerant, used in ice rinks, food processing plants and bobsled/luge tracks.

“The efficiency of ammonia far surpasses any other refrigerant that’s on the market,” said David Baranowski, one of the top engineers on site. “And it’s commercially available and not very expensive.”

Who we are

Icon Heading

We’re an Anglican Parish Church based a mile north of Sheffield city centre, part of the vibrant community of Pitsmoor. The area is hugely diverse and this is reflected in the life of Christ Church – we’re a church of all ages and multiple cultures. We have a wide range of ways that we express our Christian faith – but we work together to learn, grow and serve.

We’re commited to looking outward beyond our walls to the area around us. As a church, we’re involved in various projects and events that aim to provide for the most vulnerable in our community and which also promote cohesion and peace.

Our People

Icon Heading

Some of the faces you're likely to see around Church

Our History

Icon Heading

In 1850 the Rev Henry Barlow raised the amazing sum of £2311 and with this built the spacious, airy building which is now home to our community. At the time of its construction, Christ Church was situated within a fashionable, wealthy area. However over the last one hundred years Pitsmoor has changed dramatically both in physical environment and reputation within the city. Interestingly, even at the turn of the last century when Christ Church was filled with doctors and industry managers, the vicar saw fit to start “cottage meetings” for those who “shun church or chapel by reason of their poverty.”

Many men from the parishes lost their lives during the First World War, our war memorial contains over 300 names of the fallen.

During the second world war the parish was heavily bombed and ninety people lost their lives.

After the war the area was heavily redeveloped with high rise flats and maisonettes. These have mostly now disappeared. Over the years, the community has become more diverse, welcoming people from many nations.

Christ Church, along with our Diocese, is actively involved in re-imagining the church for the 21st Century and increasingly is working in partnership with others.

We don’t yet know what church will look like in the future. We’re sure it will be very different from the church our ancestors knew. We are also convinced that somehow past and future must be brought together so that as a community we remain rooted in the Christian story while also connecting with ordinary people and inspiring them for life in the modern world.

Spaceflight in 2017, part 2: Robots beyond Earth orbit

Emily Lakdawalla • December 30, 2016 • 4

What's ahead for our intrepid space explorers in 2017? It'll be the end of Cassini, but not before the mission performs great science close to the rings. OSIRIS-REx will fly by Earth, and Chang'e 5 will launch to the Moon, as a host of other spacecraft continue their ongoing missions.

OSIRIS-REx’s cameras see first light

Emily Lakdawalla • September 29, 2016

As OSIRIS-REx speeds away from Earth, it’s been turning on and testing out its various engineering functions and science instruments. Proof of happy instrument status has come from several cameras, including the star tracker, MapCam, and StowCam.

Customer Reviews

Recommended to me by a friend and I would highly recommend Plantation Shutters to anyone else who is looking to get shutters installed. Super helpful service from the whole team at Plantation Shutters. From initially measuring up while I was abroad with work, to adjusting my order when I had changed my mind and the top-quality installation. Most importantly, the customer service and transparency has been great. I placed this order on 4th Feb (just as COVID-19 was spreading to Europe). The team were in regular contact throughout and still delivered on time - even a global pandemic could not derail them! Impressive stuff! Thanks again!!

Mt. Umunhum’s Done and Done

There’s still quite a few climbs on my Bay Area bucket list, but today The Bearded One and I were finally able to cross off Mt. Umunhum. Bridget and Neil were headed down to San Jose for the weekend, so we led them down the Bay Trail on the East Bay side with Pamela accompanying us through Fremont. We journeyed from Temescal to Alameda, looped through the Oyster Bay and Hayward Regional Shorelines, then stopped for lunch at Banana Leaf, our favorite Malaysian restaurant in Milpitas.

After leaving Bridget and Neil in San Jose about 58 miles into our ride, TBO and I continued south towards Almaden. TBO grew up in this area, so he pointed out the places he used to fish, hike and swim as a kid along the way. (We even caught a glimpse of his old childhood home on Camden Avenue.)

I had mapped out our route so that we’d be approaching from the southeastern side — which I later learned is easier, according to Stanford’s list of rides near the university:

Hicks Rd (From the South) (1.6 miles, 740 ft, 8.4%)

“The backside of Hicks is not as brutal as the front-side. Starting from the cattle grate, the road gradually steepens until it reaches 10% grade for the last 0.8 miles finishing at Loma Almaden Rd. and Open Space Preserve. The pavement is good, but the end is not immediately in sight.”

Unfortunately, 39/25 is as low as I can go gearing-wise on my road bike, so I slowly swerved my way up the 1.6-mile climb to the Mt. Umunhum / Hicks Road intersection. While the climb was definitely challenging, the worst part was being attacked by relentless swarms of mosquitoes and gnats. Trying to move forward on the bike while swatting at bugs at the same time was absolutely maddening. But at least we were starting our ascent in the late afternoon, so we rode along in the shade instead of roasting in the sun.

And then the next quad-burning section soon followed: Loma Almaden (Mt. Umunhum) (1.8 miles, 860 ft, 9.3%)

“Loma Almaden following the difficult climb of Hicks, presents a considerable, but worthwhile, challenge. The grade is quite non-uniform, with a section from approximately 0.5 to 0.9 miles approaching a 20% average grade. The pavement on this formerly restricted federal road has not been maintained for nearly 20 years following the land grab disputes with local flesh-eating militant albino landowners. There is a cattle-guard part way up, although it is quite passable. Another cattle guard is right at the gate at the end of the car-accessible section. Bikes can continue beyond the gate for another 1.2 miles.”

This section was absolutely demoralizing. By now I was loudly cursing the godforsaken insects with every pedal stroke and continued my belabored paperboy-progress up the road. TBO asked if I wanted to turn around at gate, but I figured I might as well suffer for another 1.2 miles and see if we’d encounter any aggressive albino cannibals (they couldn’t possibly be more evil than the bugs.)

And at last, the final stretch: Mt. Umunhum (1.2 miles, 520 ft, 8.4%)

“This section is continuation of the Loma Almaden Rd. beyond the gate at the top of car-accessible section. Loma Almaden Rd. is the access road towards the Loma Almaden Air Force radar station on the top of Mt. Umunhum. The base of the radar, which was dismantled in the early 1980s, can be seen from far out as a 3-story-high “sugar cube”, aka “Monolith”. There’s also a white ball — National Weather Service Doppler Radar — on the nearby ridge. Live camera there provides constant views of Bay Area. The base is closed for public access because of the unsafe level of asbestos in the remaining structures and intervening private property. Mt. Umunhum means “hummingbird” in the language of Ohlone Indians who populated the area before Spanish colonization. The mountain is the second highest in the Santa Cruz range and was of ritual importance to the native tribes. The public road continues for 1.2 miles beyond the gate — riders are encouraged to climb over the gate and make the extra effort, as the views from the end of the public road are spectacular. See for yourself here. The end of the public section is quite clearly marked, with signs on the side of the road and large warnings painted across. It is unfortunate the remaining road is off limits, as the undulating, steep grades and awesome views make it quite tempting to continue.”

The never-ending assault from the bugs was making me feel absolutely miserable. TBO rode ahead of me and later remarked he could hear my anguished yelling from nearly a half a mile away. But I finally caught up to him and reached the sign where the public access ends — and somehow managed to stop only once on my way up there — then it was time to bomb back down to civilization. With the uneven pavement and super steep grades, the descent wasn’t that satisfying. But at least we were free of those hellish bugs.

We made our way back to downtown San Jose and celebrated on CalTrain with tasty burritos from La Victoria Taqueria (“Home of the Orange Sauce”, which is like a spicy, creamy Mexican ranch dressing).

~102 miles / ~4000 ft. of climbing

Say Hello Engagement Photos Riviera Maya Mexico

Founding Photographer Laura McNamara Founding Photographer Laura McNamara

Hola! You found us… and I’m thrilled!

Below, you’ll find our contact form. I feel it’s a bit more polite to share a little about me before asking for a bunch of information from you. However, if you’re in a rush, no worries! Just skip right on past my bio.

I’m Laura McNamara, the ex-pat from the Midwest (yup, I’m from Missouri folks!) who quite often can be heard proclaiming “Que Rico!”

What does “Que Rico!” mean you might ask? It’s a Mexican phrase that literally translates into “how rich,” but the true meaning of the expression gets a bit lost in translation. A better way to explain the meaning is:

Imagine that infamous Italian gesture of putting your two hands to your mouth and kissing the air… physically expressing the great pleasure, joy and contentment that’s welling up inside you, triggered by something that has moved your soul, stirred your heart.

Well, “Que Rico!” is that… in words.

When I first discovered this magical phrase during my travels through Central America in Honduras, I fell in love with it’s meaning. Ever since, I’ve adopted the phrase as my personal mantra: discover, feel and see the “Que Rico!” inherent in every precious moment.

My worldwide wanderings have led me to work with several celebrities as well as standout commercial clients including the IndyCar Racing Series, the American Le Mans Racing Series, Pepsi, John Deere, Bacardi and more. I’ve had photography and articles published in international magazines and on popular Websites including Canadian Running Magazine, Swiss running magazine Fit for Life, UltraRunning Magazine, COLORS Magazine, Halogen TV, Revue Magazine and more. Formerly working as a news reporter and anchor, I have appeared on television and have broadcasted on the radio. Founding Photographer Laura McNamara

Utterly enchanted by the Mexican Caribbean, I truly feel blessed to be able to base my artistic and professional pursuits from the idyllic tropical destination of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

I am incessantly seeking that which provokes me, passionately in pursuit of anything and everything that literally makes my heart start beatin’ out of my chest… Pet Photography Mexico

My better half, AJ, is certainly one such “heart-pounding” inspiration in my life. THE heart-pounding inspiration of my life rather… with our two adorable and oh-so-mischievous rescued doggies Ahalya and Zoe nipping closely at his heels in the quest of occupying position numero UNO in my heart.

PASSION is our fuel.

LIFE is the journey with LOVE, HEART guiding the way.

The destination? As they say, it’s more about the journey rather than the destination, don’t you agree?

P.S. I love dancing in the moonlight along the surf of the Mexican Caribbean… aka “base camp” for the eternal life quest to experience, capture, share.

We’d love to hear from you!

Ice skating in the Pensacola Bay Center has come with an extra glint of gold this winter. All the better for Pensacola residents with the 2020 Winter Olympics just a month away.

Mia Frisco, a three-time U.S. National Synchronized Skating medalist, joined the coaching staff at the Greater Pensacola Figure Skating Club last fall, bringing another accomplished skater to the coaching staff of the GPFSC.

A junior at Gulf Breeze High, Frisco was a 2018 national gold medalist in intermediate synchronized skating in competition in Portland, Oregon and most recently earned silver medalist honors at national competitions in Michigan.

It’s a skillset that is certainly uncommon among Frisco’s classmates, who have often told her they were unaware they could even skate in Pensacola.

“Most people at school don’t really know anything about ice skating,” Frisco laughed. “When I tell them about it at school, they think I wouldn’t be able to do it here.

“It’s even more impressive to be an ice skater in Florida because it’s not really a thing like football, baseball or softball.”

It’s rare for Pensacola’s figure skating community to feature such an accomplished talent at Frisco’s age.

The Bay Center’s ice limitations – the GPFSC has access to the ice only during the Pensacola Ice Flyers hockey season – mean that ice skaters are without local ice for almost half of the year.

This weekend: Mardi Gras, Capitol Steps and Havana Nights heat up 2020 this week | Seven days out

Gallery Night: Gallery Night 2020 schedule includes an '80s night, a 5K event and much more

Recent attempts to bring year-round ice to Pensacola, including a new downtown arena and a proposed ice-skating rink in Gulf Breeze, have fizzled, hampering the GPFSC’s ability to attract and retain skaters and coaches from around the region.

Understandably, Frisco’s decision to move to Gulf Breeze was a welcome turn of events.

“It was quite the nice surprise when they contacted us and said they were moving to Pensacola,” said Sharon Gaubert, treasurer of the GPFSC. “Someone with her experience and the awards that she’s won in her skating career. It’s quite an inspiration for our kids out there because it’s not every day you have someone of her skill level move to Pensacola due to our ice situation.”

Frisco has been coaching with the GPFSC’s various programs, including Learn to Skate, private and open sessions. Details regarding lesson schedules and open ice sessions are available at the GPFSC’s website and Facebook page.

The Frisco family additionally hopes to help advance local interest in synchronized skating, a process that would hopefully include United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) test sessions and possibly regional competitions down the road.

It all hinges on the development of year-round ice, however, something that could help pass on the lessons learned in a career like Frisco’s.

“I was thinking about just not skating anymore because it’s Florida,” Frisco said of her move last fall. “I mean, who skates in Florida? But when I found out they had a rink and a coach, I was really excited about that because I had been coaching in Wisconsin.

“I’ve been ice skating for 14 years, so it’s just a fun sport to do. It’s really impressive when you can do big jumps and movements.”
