The focus of the panel was supposed to be about “Data Science and Predicting the Future”, but the most contentious topic was whether data, algorithms or people (that is, the data scientists themselves) were the most important factor in the practice and success of data science.
Yes, we one-upped the debate that my colleague Monica Rogati instigated at this year’s Strata conference. In fact, Josh cited the “better data beats more data beats clever algorithms” argument that Monica made in her own Strata presentation. And, just like at Strata, there was a healthy dose of audience participation.
Of course, I came down on the side of data — which I believe won the debate hands down.
I’m a fan of clever algorithms, which Alexander had to defend given that Skytree’s core value proposition is better machine learning algorithms delivered at scale. But I’m with Peter Norvig et al. on the dominance of data over algorithms.
Favoring data over people was a harder choice. Anthony naturally made the case for people (Kaggle’s claim to fame is assembling many of the world’s best data scientists by organizing competitions). Hopefully my team won’t quit en masse when they read this blog post! But I think they’ll agree with me that, without the incredible data we work with at LinkedIn, they’d be unable to deliver the awesomeness that I’ve come to expect from them.
There’s a saying that we all cook from the same cookbooks, so that it’s the ingredients that make all the difference. To take the metaphor further, you can also try to poach your rival’s chefs. But data is the biggest entry barrier — and the most sustainable competitive advantage.
Of course, we should have the best people apply the best algorithms to work with the best data. But data comes first. The best meal starts with the best ingredients.
I can see how the output of this debate is beneficial (striving through the strengths and weaknesses of each part). Still, the best data is hardly worth the hard drive it sits on without human intervention…even newbie data analyst intervention at that. The best chef is still going to go out of business with a steady supply of rotten ingredients. At the end of the day, these eithor/or programmatic arguments are silly. It’s the whole, the sum of the parts that matters…nothing comes first except the drive to create something excellent…hmm, but that comes from people! Well, you know what I mean.
James, of course people are crucial — that’s why there is such a war for talent! But it’s also why great talent follows great data: people are a lot more mobile than proprietary data.
Of course, that’s also an argument in favor of open data as a public good. But a lot of data won’t (and shouldn’t!) be open any time soon, whether it’s web search logs, social network activity data, etc. So people like me will continue to follow the data.
All I’m saying is the framework that surrounds the great data is what actually draws you. You’re at LinkedIn because of the system (everything) that nurtured and grew the data, which birthed from some very smart individuals. At some point, yes, what they’ve created will seem to outweigh the creators themselves in importance, but I’m not so easily convinced. Data doesn’t create anything new, people do, and people want new things.
James, I think we’re in violent agreement. It does take people to recognize the value of data as a first-class citizen in an organization.

Only Fox News would spin Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy’s efforts to provide protections for undocumented immigrants as racism akin to George Wallace’s segregationist views.
Last week, Malloy visited Tucker Carlson Tonight where Carlson deployed his sandbags to suggest that Malloy’s sanctuary state policy is to blame for a “fiscal wreck” in his state.
Two days later, Cavuto on Business went after Malloy, too.
BEN STEIN: These people are basically behaving like the southern states did in 1861 after Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. They have started a second Civil War and, of course, it’s not going to be fought with guns, I hope, but being fought in the courts. But these people are lawbreakers and they should be ashamed of themselves.
CHARLES GASPARINO: I’m not saying it’s a purely analogous situation but Malloy is, in some respects, acting like George Wallace did.
The analogy is only fitting if you assume Jefferson Davis as president of the Union and Honest Abe MIA.
States rights is a great argument when you’re a foaming right-winger resisting the morality of a majority of Americans nationwide until you’re in complete power and suddenly can shove your narraow-minded bigotry down everyone’s throats.
Of course my statement isn’t perfect either, eh Foxies? Because Wallace was a Democrat at the time whose racist Dixiecrats became the core of the Republican Southern Strategy which is the GOP bedrock holding a near death grip on Southern politics.
Let me get to the meat of the Fox News lie which led to their gross nativism in the segment: Connecticut is a “fiscal wreck”. Because according to the Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) immigrants are an important boost the Connecticut’s economy: https://www.cbia.com/news/economy/mmigrants-impact-ct-economy/.
Typical of Fox News, GOPTV™’s business analysis is complete crap. CBIA offers an unbiased report on Connecticut’s economy. It’s too complex of a document to cover here but the short take is immigration in Connecticut is a crucial component stabilizing the state’s meager population growth.
Does Tucker Carlson always have a stupid look on his face?
Slip-sliding away. The more desperate they get, the more ridiculous they are sounding.
I have faith that it will become more and more embarrassing for everyday Americans to be seen as supporting Trump, the miserable, skulking Republicans that are enabling his excesses, and all Fox & Co’s Baghdad Bobs/Tokyo Roses who keep trying to justify the utterly unjustifiable.

As the parent of a preschool age child, you have probably already begun to prepare for the elementary school years. To help your child develop kindergarten readiness, you can start at home with fun, educational activities that feel like play. It is also important to find a preschool program that will support your goals for your child.
There are many places you can find kindergarten readiness resources for parents. This article will simplify an overwhelming amount of information into 5 main areas. Everything your child needs to get off to a great start will fall into one of these categories of kindergarten readiness.
The following kindergarten readiness activities can easily be done at home or in a formal preschool setting. Children learn best through play. Implementing these ideas throughout the day in a natural, fun way will make learning stress-free and enjoyable. Many kindergarten readiness resources for parents can be found online.
The following activities have been broken down by relevant kindergarten readiness skills area. Begin doing these on a weekly basis when your little one is around 3 or 4 years of age and they will be more than prepared when it comes to kindergarten readiness.
This is an easy one and probably something you have already been doing. The best way to prepare your child for reading is simply to read to them! Involve small children in a variety of stories and picture books. Ask them to interpret the illustrations. Point to the words as you read them aloud. Make it fun by using different voices for characters. Allow your child to pick out the books and turn the pages. If there is a favorite story, read it every day, but introduce new books on a regular basis.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 26% of children who were read to regularly by a family member recognized the letters of the alphabet, compared to 14 percent of children who were read to less frequently.
Every kindergartner should have basic knowledge skills, including colors, shapes, numbers and letters. Parents and educators can point out colors and shapes in the home or school building. Toys and other familiar objects can be described in detail to the child. Matching games can be played with paper cut outs or plastic manipulatives.
Numbers and letters can be learned by studying signs, books and food packages. Flashcards are a great tool for learning these basics for kindergarten readiness. Magnetic letters and numbers can be placed on the refrigerator or a metal cookie sheet.
Large motor skills can be developed through play. Make games out of skipping, jumping on one leg, crab crawling, balancing on a low beam, front rolling and spinning in circles.
Fine motor skills include holding a pencil, using scissors, coloring inside the lines, driving a toy car along a path or shaping play dough.
Motor skills are important to develop in the early years as they will be essential to your child’s kindergarten readiness.
Kindergartners need to enter school with certain social skills to help them succeed in their classroom. It is important to learn basic manners, sharing, getting along with others, raising hands and standing in line.
Preschoolers need to have basic personal knowledge to round out their kindergarten readiness. Start with how to spell and write their first name. Teach them your phone number and be sure to practice until they can recite it with ease. It is important for them to know their address, but be sure they at least know the name of their city and street name.
These personal details will give your child self-awareness while promoting a sense of safety and belonging.
Focusing on these 5 skill areas will guarantee that your preschooler can enter elementary school with confidence and the knowledge they need to succeed.
Make sure that your child’s preschool has an accredited program for kindergarten readiness. The ABC Academy offers the fully accredited Great Start Readiness Program at its Jackson child care center that will support your family goals.
Contact the ABC Academy in Jackson today for more information on our NAEYC kindergarten readiness program.

MEMBERS OF the now-defunct Thai Raksa Chart Party may find themselves in trouble again after the Election Commission (EC) launched a new investigation against them for allegedly urging voters to vote for parties that are not affiliated to them or vote "no".
FOUR HUNDRED Senate candidates have been shortlisted – with an Army source saying a significant number of them are military officers.
THAI RAKSA CHART leader Preechaphol Pongpanit said yesterday that he and other party executives were “extremely saddened” by the Constitution Court’s verdict disbanding the party.
Judges rule unanimously to dissolve Thai Raksa Chart.
The Constitutional Court on Thursday ordered the dissolution of Thai Raksa Chart Party for naming a member of the Royal Family, Princess Ubolratana, as its prime ministerial candidate, because it said, this action undermined Thailand’s constitutional monarchy.
Parties aligned with Thailand's powerful Shinawatra clan are staging major rallies this weekend ahead of a court ruling that could deal a gut punch to their prospects in national elections later this month.
THE CENTRAL Administrative Court yesterday rejected Thai Raksa Chart member Ruangkrai Leekitwatana’s plea to halt the Election Commission (EC)’s efforts to have the party disbanded.
Re: “More than Thai Raksa Chart in the balance”, Editorial, February 26.
Constitutional court to rule on Thursday; future forward party lead.
The Constitutional Court on Wednesday set March 7 as the date to deliver a ruling on the Election Commission (EC)’s petition asking for it to dissolve Thai Raksa Chart Party.
The Thai Raksa Chart Party on Tuesday announced it would resume the election rallies that had been put on hold due to the party-dissolution case in the Constitutional Court while the lawsuit remains standing.

Crisp macaroons garnished with almonds make tempting nutty nibbles. These are made with cornflour, so they're gluten-free.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Combine the ground almonds, caster sugar and cornﬂour in a mixing bowl and mix well. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat well to make a fairly stiff mixture.
Line two baking trays with rice paper and put teaspoons of the mixture, in round blobs, on the paper, spacing them well apart. Alternatively, put the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large, plain nozzle and pipe onto the paper. Lightly press a split almond into the centre of each macaroon. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the trays.
When cold, remove the macaroons from the trays and tear away the excess rice paper from each biscuit. (The rice paper is edible.) Store in an airtight container.

Whether you’re wrapped up in a big blanket to ward off the winter chill or spraying yourself down with cool water to stave off summer’s heat, chances are you also use some kind of external climate control through much of the year. Heating and air conditioning use an astonishing amount of energy – and that’s a big problem for the environment. A group of MIT students may just change the world by asking a simple question: why not cool our bodies rather than the air around our bodies? They plan to do this with a device they call Wristify, a bracelet that regulates body temperature as it rests on the skin.
A member of the team was inspired by a personal situation that will resonate with just about everyone: he always felt hot while his mother always felt cold. He figured that there must be a way to keep them both happy while in the same room. Wristify works by exposing the wearer’s skin to pulses of hot or cold – whichever is needed at the time. Surprisingly, a lot of the device’s effect has to do with perception. The group explains that diving into a pool of cold water feels shocking at first, but given a bit of time the body adjusts to the temperature and it feels normal.
Similarly, by exposing parts of the body to bursts of heat or cold, that initial blast tricks the body into thinking that it is warmer or cooler than before. In trials with friends and family, the concept has been shown to work. The brain’s perception of the body’s temperature – not the actual ambient temperature – is what really makes the wearer feel more comfortable in their environment. The current prototype is exceptionally affordable, using only around $50 in materials. But the Wristify is far from becoming commercially available thanks to the fact that a great deal more research needs to be conducted. If successful, heating and cooling bodies rather than entire buildings could be a real game changer in the area of energy conservation.

Discussion in 'Theorycrafting and Statistics' started by Gortat, Jul 8, 2010.
I heard that you need to be at least lvl 90 to gamble amulets and craft and have a shot in making those 20fcr amulets.. is this true? i'm not lvl 90 yet but I've been using worldstone, pits, sewers lvl 2 amulets to craft at lvl **.. but i havent made anything over 15fcr yet. Tried about 20 times.. bad luck or because I need to lvl up more?
1 - 20FCR can be made at lvl 1 I think.
2 - However, +2 class skills needs lvl 93 and crafting amulets you gamble yourself to always have a chance of getting +2 class skills.
3 - 20fcr isn't very rare, but expect to spend a LOT of tries getting a really good one.
4 - with +2 class skills, even a 15fcr one could be worth a lot, depending on build/FCR breakpoints.
if u have crafted a 15 fcr one already, u are certainly able to make a 20 fcr one too.
ok i should have been more specific. I want to be able to craft a 2 all skills, 15+fcr, resists amulet. What is the lowest lvl character I need that can GAMBLE for the amulet (so the ilvl on the amulet is high enough) in order to potentially make this amulet.
**, but only 10% of all the amulets you gamble will be high enough.
at 90, 50% will be high enough, and at 92, 90% of them will be high enough.
Minimum character level needed for all crafted amulet ilvls to be greater than or equal to 90 is 93 with a gambled amulet.
Yeah, i know nothing about crafting, but I was always "aware" that lvl 93 was the level for gambling in this case.

The "neglected tropical diseases" (NTDs) are a cluster of infectious diseases categorized by their impact on an estimated one billion people in 149 countries worldwide. These diseases are generally characterized by their high morbidity and low mortality and are strongly associated with poverty. NTD-focused campaigns have accelerated rapidly in the past two decades, with U.S. funding alone topping $887 million since 2006. Regional elimination or global eradication are often the end goal of these initiatives, coordinated by local and global NGOs, development organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and national ministries of health. The stakes of success or failure are high - in the twenty-first century, the NTDs have become a powerful operative and imaginative category in global public health.
This workshop seeks to catalyze new conversations on the history, present, and future of the (NTDs) in an innovative, multi-disciplinary gathering. The multi-sectorial nature of NTD work provides a unique opportunity for dialogue between scholars and practitioners in the humanities, social sciences, public health, law, and medicine around the complex challenges these diseases present. Pre-circulated papers will be discussed on a series of panels on Monday, April 1. On Tuesday, April 2, participants will gather for 1) a roundtable discussion on key areas of research on the NTDs in wider perspective and 2) an open plenary conversation on futures of research and collaboration. Registration, a complete schedule, and more information can be found at https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/global/NTD-Conference.

I started a new job in January of this year. I have to admit while I was not working, I did not miss the traffic, nor the commute- though I must say, my prior commute was not too bad. If I hit all the lights it took about 15 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening.
My new job- 25 minutes in the morning, and 35 minutes in the afternoon. Not a lot to whine about, I know. Since I started my new job a lot of the time is spent sitting through traffic lights multiple times. To amuse myself, I have taken to reading bumper stickers, they come in many different types, sayings and genres.
Some are warm hearted: I love my wife, I love my husband, I love my family, I love my dog.
I am pretty sure most of the folks on the road that read that one are scratching their heads thinking – HUH? I love the message, I love the fact, that the person driving was bold enough, brave enough to put his faith out there for all to see, even if most people don’t know what it meant. Then I am thinking isn’t that sad- that the message could be lost.
What message do we want to put out there? How do we treat people ?How do we want to be treated?
I try to be nice to people, I try to be kind and courteous, hold doors, say please and thank you, follow the golden rule. I know I fall short sometimes, probably most of the time. I keep trying. My Father was a humble carpenter – that through HIS actions, through his death, He died for me. For us all. Through all the silly messages I see each day- that one bumper sticker made me think about so many things. I will keep trying to be a kind, courteous person. I don’t know why this simple thing stuck with me, it did. It reminded me to just be nice to people. You don’t know what their story is.
HEBREWS 13.2- Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

5 Inexpensive ways to improve your online marketing - Hip Dot Media, Inc.
If you have a modest online marketing budget, knowing how to make the best of it can feel like an impossible task. Should you risk it all with paid search? Will SEO take effect before the funds run out? Should you try advertising on Houzz? Or invest in blogger outreach as an effective way to market to interior designers?
The good news is that whether you’re planning on upping your online spend or looking for ways to tighten the purse strings, there are a number of ways to improve your digital marketing frugally.
Paid search advertising is incredibly competitive and as an auction based system, prices will continue to rise as long as competition exists. Many small businesses find platforms like AdWords simply too expensive. Paid social is a cost effective alternative – consider Facebook or the newly launched Instagram advertising offering as an inexpensive way to raise your profile. Paid social works in a similar way to PPC with the added advantage of lots of advanced targeting options (device, interest, gender, location are just a few of the options).
Outsourcing content production can be expensive. If you don’t have the expertise in house to create sizzling articles, blogs and infographics, try curation as an inexpensive yet effective alternative. You can do this manually by searching out interesting content to share or pay for a low cost curation tool to take the leg work out of researching.
Outreach can be an incredibly effective way of gaining more traffic. It allows you to tap in to someone else’s audience without spending the time or resources to build that following. It’s also inexpensive – simply compile a list of bloggers relevant to your brand, brainstorm possible collaboration options and then start making contact.
Social media is now a key driver of SEO and a place where many purchases begin. Increase the volume of your social media postings to start driving more traffic. The added benefit of this is that Google now indexes social media content such as tweets. So the more often you post, the more search engine real estate you can take up – increasing visibility at no extra cost.
Creating a mobile site is no longer vastly expensive. Google has said that it now handles more mobile than desktop searches. This means if you are playing the odds, a strong mobile presence is the way to go.

Home / Baseball / What is Wrong with Justin Verlander?
What is Wrong with Justin Verlander?
Justin Verlander just won his 11th game of the season. 11 wins is not unheard of for the former Cy Young and MVP winner. However, after this win against the Twins, he is now back to .500, at 11-11. Not quite the numbers from a true number 1 ace of your staff. Not quite what one would expect from a reigning MVP pitcher. Since the creation of the Cy Young award in 1956, only 9 pitchers have won both the Cy Young award, and MVP. Mr. Verlander is one of these 9.
So, a 11-11 season is somewhat unexpected. Currently, according to FanGraphs, Mr. Verlander ranks 3rd in WAR for pitchers, 3rd amongst Detroit Tigers pitchers, and 42nd overall. That’s behind the likes of Tyson Ross of the Padres, and Dallas Keuchel of the Houston Astros. I’m not saying I could muster a single hit off either Mr. Ross or Mr. Keuchel. I’m just saying, this is a little unexpected out of Mr. Justin Verlander. 11-11 is a far cry from his 24 – 5 record, and his 4.82 ERA is the highest it’s been in 6 years.
Something must be wrong with the fireball hurling right-hander, whom is not afraid to throw faster in the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning, compared to the 1st or 2nd inning. What could it be? We turn to you, or loyal fans for the answer. If the masses agree, then it must be right….right? Well, maybe not. At least we have a fun video to brighten your day.
Also, if I was coming back to Kate Upton every night. Baseball would be the last thing on my mind.
Great points. Verlander’s drop in dominance could purely be coincidental as he gets older, and more “pitching millage” on his arm and body. Usually a drop in fastball velocity will have a direct correlation on drop in strike outs. So I do agree, Mr. Verlander is going to have to change his approach, and rely on his 2nd and 3rd pitches to possibly return to brilliance. The other stuff, his girl, his massive contract, are fun to talk about also.
Look forward to more wonderful comments!

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when OptimizeRx (OPRX) reports results for the quarter ended September 2018. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +116.7%.
Revenues are expected to be $5.28 million, up 70.3% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 100% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for OptimizeRx?
For OptimizeRx, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that OptimizeRx will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that OptimizeRx would post a loss of $0.02 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.02, delivering a surprise of +200%.
OptimizeRx doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

With new mega casinos are spring up in the southeast and even the world, Macau will face more dramatic and fierce competition from the outers. It is the research gap in the Macau gaming history. Without it, the ongoing strategic transformation in Macau gaming industry should have no foundation. The paper will focus on the gap. Based on the informative texts about strategic competition between casinos in the past ten years, it will use text analysis and root-grounded method to construct the model of interactive competition.

But if it is chilly where you are a nice cup of tea would certainly hit the spot. And these little chocolate tea bag tags would be a nice treat.
Making chocolates in molds is easy – just not on a hot day. Simply melt your chocolate in the microwave on 50% power. Chocolate burns easily so check it and stir it every 15 seconds or so. I melted mine in a small ramekin in a shallow pan of boiling water.
Once the chocolate is melted, spoon a small amount into your mold. Gently tap the mold to level the chocolate and release any air bubbles. Place in the freezer to set.
Once your chocolates are set, tap them out of the mold. They should pop out very easily. I drizzled milk chocolate over my white chocolate leaves.
To make these tea bag tags, cut off the paper tag that came with the tea bag. Adhere the string to the back of the molded chocolate with a little more melted chocolate.
Use a pretty cup and saucer and make some tea.
Relax and enjoy your tea and chocolate.
You knew I'd be over lol. These are lovely but I am totally in love with your gorgeous cup!
This is such a perfect idea! I am totally making these and giving them to my mother for Christmas along with a few of her favorite teas. Thank you for sharing!
Such a cute idea ... they'd make a great gift.
Absolutely enchanting....a friend took me to a high tea for my birthday years ago and this lovely setting reminded me of that wonderful day!
These are such a unique idea Carolyn! I'm impressed! They're not only pretty but delish!
Adorable, clever, yummy, and beautiful! Such a brilliant idea!
I don't think I would be able to let my tea steep for long before taking a bit out of these! They look irresistibly delicious!
What a fun and clever idea! These would make lovely Christmas gifts!
Just beautiful. These would make a great gift!
always with such great ideas ! love.
These look amazing Carolyn and I love your teacup and saucer...so pretty and I love the loops in the pattern! You are a terrific chocolate maker!

I've a little Polish get together at the missus' parents. Plenty decent central European scran and a fair few vodkas I imagine. Up bright and early for the gym first.
Sort the van out for a change.
Taking the wild bunch out for breakfast..then see what happens.
Did that yesterday. It’s an absolute scream! Harder than you think too!
Been to the unit (via Costa) sorted out the van a bit, put the oakum in 'I love the smell of hemp and Stockholm tar in the morning'. Loaded up some tools and stuff, back home to do some more brickwork on the never ending side extension bay, the shower and change and over to Coventry to see my mum. Dinner, bed and that's the weekend over.
I'm gonna muster up enough energy to eat a pork dinner, other than that I'm gonna try hard to do fek all today ! But God just laughs at my plans !
Spend all day dreading work tomorrow.
At Santa Pod for the drag racing today!
Forecast has it as a bit grey and grizzley.
It's going to be like Piccadilly circus there tomorrow, I'll be there early to get a parking spot to unload the ply sheets, Pat's coming for a nose and measure up, that company's taking out the heating oil tank, a skips coming, structural engineer to look at the gable, and I think the poo palace is getting emptied. We need to get our heads together about what's getting plastered and what's being left, then measure up and decide what's being used.
Oh no another saga begins.
You getting off the tools as well Pete? Thank f**k for that.
Putting a second coat of paint on garden shed which I should have done in summer, only doing it as there’s no footy or formula 1 on!
How’s the shed coming along? I’ve finished mine. A mate of mine’s mum was throwing out a large shed in the exact design and size I wanted as parts of it had rotted and she wanted a new smaller one so I replaced the rotting parts, built a new floor, re-felted the roof and treated it all. It’s a cracking shed now.

Limor has been a T.A. member since 2006.
What do you do? I’m the General Manager of Concerts and Lectures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before that, I was an Adjunct Curator for Performing Arts at the Whitney and the Executive Producer for Music at WQXR. I’m also a mother and a huge fan of T.A. and bikes.
When did you start biking? I grew up in Israel, in a small town near Tel Aviv, and my brother taught me how to ride there. When I moved to New York to go to college at Julliard, I started biking in New York, and that’s when I really fell in love with it.
Why? I was in a new and exciting place, and it was a new and exciting way of getting around. It was way before any bike lanes, before helmets. I’d just go down Broadway to school. To think of it now!
What has kept you cycling? Everyone who rides a bike knows this, but when you experience a city by bike, it changes your awareness of everything: neighborhoods, connections, architecture. In the subway, you just select your stop, and you’re airlifted. If you take the train from the Upper East Side to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, you have no idea about that institution’s relationship to Manhattan or Fort Greene or Prospect Park. No sense of its community and conversation. On a bike, a lot of that is absorbed along the way. It’s this perfect side effect.
There’s also this sense of comfort. I feel like I own the city in a way that I don’t otherwise. When I bike to Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center and lock up outside, I feel like I’m supporting these cultural institutions and the city that holds them together. It makes me feel comfortable; it gives me a sense of intimacy with the architecture.
What’s your favorite ride? I have so many, but I always think of my first job after college at BAM. I’d ride most of the year, but not the harsh months. When spring came, I’d always feel like they’d tuned up the whole Brooklyn Bridge — as though the cables were shorter and so the bridge was steeper — and as the year went on, they’d slowly tune it down. I love riding over the Brooklyn Bridge thinking of its tuning.
Do you often see other people on bikes arriving at, say, the Metropolitan Opera? No, not often. Biking and opera both need to be normalized even more before that can happen regularly in New York. So often, cultural events and bikes become a big deal—these things that need a careful approach and certain clothes—and I understand why, but they’re also just great things that you can do everyday.
Do you think Citi Bike will help with that? Will it make cycling easier? My first experience with bike share was in Paris, and it was amazing. I was there for a week of meetings—five meetings a day, all over the city—and I rode to all of them. New York’s system needs to expand before that’s really possible, but when I’m downtown, and I see an empty Citi Bike rack, my heart sings with joy.
How would you improve your everyday bike commute? My daughter is 11, and I ride with her to school in the morning. She goes to school near Central Park, and if the park were completely car-free, I would let her ride by herself. I think we need a car-free park, and we should have a kind of middle school Occupy Central Park to get it. I want the thousands of kids who go through the park each day to band together and together and say, “Enough is enough!” What better way to get cars out of the park?

Objective 1: Provide for the safe and efficient collection of wastewater generated by the community.
Dublin’s current sewer contract specifies that sanitary sewage generated within the City of Dublin service area and collected by Dublin’s sewer system is transported to Columbus’ interceptor system. The agreement specifies that the sewage will be treated by Columbus through February 1, 2043. Significant efforts have been made to upgrade Dublin’s system, and those efforts should continue to comply with all regulatory requirements.
A. Continue Cooperative Efforts… between the Cities of Dublin and Columbus to ensure that wastewater receives treatment in accordance with all regulatory requirements.
Objective 2: Continue efforts to remove inflow and infiltration sources within the existing sanitary sewer system.
Significant quantities of infiltration and inflow (I & I) can enter the sanitary sewer system via illegal clean water connections or as the condition of the sewer deteriorates due to age. As a result, the carrying capacity of the sanitary sewer system can be dramatically reduced. System efficiency and addressing long-term maintenance should be an important component to effective service provision.
A. Continue Flow Monitoring… to identify areas where significant quantities of I & I are entering the collection system.
B. Maintain Adequate Carrying Capacity… as sewer extensions are installed by reducing I & I from mainline sewers and continuing the program to eliminate clean water connections from private property on a voluntary basis.
C. Continue compliance with the OEPA… Director’s Final Findings and Orders as this will document the efforts to achieve this objective.
Objective 3: Implement sanitary sewer extensions to growth areas consistent with the recommendations of the Community Plan in order to provide adequate service for the entire tributary service area.
Consistency in the design criteria for sizing sanitary sewer extensions is necessary to ensure that adequate capacity for future flows is provided. Oversizing of a sanitary sewer when installed as part of a development project, if appropriate, helps ensure that sewer capacity for the entire tributary service area is provided and costly future upgrades are minimized.
A. Design Sewers Appropriately… to flow at 75 percent of the full flow capacity, using the design criteria established to forecast future peak flows, and an I & I allowance of 1,000 gallons per day per acre of tributary service area.
B. Create Developer Reimbursement Policies… for the incremental costs of oversizing sanitary sewers to address compensation appropriately that is consistent, equitable, and manageable.
C. Develop a Service Extension Policy… to provide for effective sanitary service extension to currently unserved but occupied properties.
Objective 4: Ensure that on-site sewage disposal systems are properly designed, installed and maintained.
Section 51.02 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances currently allows for private on-site sewage disposal in the event that public sewage systems are not available. On-site sanitary system design criteria vary from county to county, and portions of the City lie within Franklin, Delaware and Union Counties. As a result, clarification regarding design and installation requirements for systems is needed within Dublin.
A. Amend the City Code… relating to on-site systems to incorporate appropriate criteria for system design and installation.
Objective 5: Provide for the safe and efficient delivery of high quality potable water to the community for consumption and fire protection.
Dublin’s current water contract specifies that the City of Columbus is to supply potable water to the City of Dublin through February 1, 2043.
A. Continue Cooperative Efforts… between Dublin and the City of Columbus to ensure that an adequate supply of quality drinking water, meeting current and future regulatory standards, is provided.
B. Develop a Service Extension Policy… to provide for effective water service extension to currently unserved but occupied properties.
Objective 6: Implement waterline extensions to growth areas consistent with the Community Plan.
As waterlines have been extended north of Glick Road and west of Avery Road, a new pressure district and additional infrastructure have been and will be needed for areas higher than the 950-foot ground elevations to maintain adequate system pressure. An adequate supply of water is needed for domestic use and fire protection. The oversizing of waterlines should be required as part of a development project to support further system expansion for the area. There is currently no means of reimbursing the developer for oversizing costs.
A. Design Waterline Extensions And Storage Facilities Appropriately… to provide adequate delivery rates and system pressures to meet the forecasted peak day demands and applicable fire flow requirements.
B. Create Developer Reimbursement Policies… for the incremental costs of oversizing waterlines to address compensation appropriately that is consistent, equitable, and manageable.
Objective 7: Provide consistency between the water and sewer system service areas.
Creation of pressure districts in the northwest quadrant of the City can allow the Dublin water distribution system to be extended well beyond the limits of the sanitary sewer service area (Hyland-Croy Road). However, costly sewer extensions, relief sewers and pumping stations would be necessary to provide the desired full range of utility services to areas west of Hyland-Croy Road.
A. Provide Waterline Extensions… from the City of Dublin distribution system only to those areas which can also receive sanitary sewer service from the City.
Objective 8: Provide for the safe and efficient collection of stormwater and continue to maintain and improve the water quality of Dublin’s tributaries and the Scioto River corridor.
Though Dublin’s Codified Ordinances have been updated to include stormwater regulations, the continued management of stormwater flow with development is important to the health, safety and welfare of Dublin residents. In addition, the ordinance is necessary to prevent loss of life and property due to flooding; to protect the quality of ground and surface water; to maintain wildlife habitat; and to encourage the use of natural drainage systems.
A. Enforce New Standards… and requirements and update municipal regulations as necessary.
Objective 9: Continue implementation of the Dublin Stormwater Master Plan to provide adequate stormwater management in tributary areas consistent with the recommendations of the Community Plan.
Development of land has significant impact on stormwater runoff, and most developable land (particularly in the Southwest Area) is flat with few natural drainageways. Detention facilities are needed to meet regional needs, and potential sites may be available in the expansion areas.
A. Ensure Adequate Stormwater Facility Design… that will meet performance criteria established in Section 53 of the Codified Ordinances.
B. Identify and Implement Sites… for locating regional detention facilities as development occurs.
Objective 10: Design future stormwater management facilities to blend with surrounding development as an attractive amenity and landscape feature.
As a means to control stormwater, best management practices are often integrated into development plans as amenities. The design of facilities, however, can often result in unattractive aesthetics.
A. Design Future Basins… to provide required holding area, while creating an aesthetically pleasing feature with softened shapes and landforms. Designs should also incorporate measures to limit impacts by geese.
B. Focus on Edge Treatments… and minimize the use of rough rock and stone applications to line basins or ponds.
C. Integrate Alternative Facility Designs… to optimize the developable area of sites with limited space, such as in the Bridge Street District. Integrated stormwater management solutions may include green roofs, permeable pavement, bio-retention facilities, rain barrels, planter boxes, etc. These options can be used to reduce the required size of the facility in a manner that is consistent with the surrounding development character.

I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2012 and spent 4 years in mixed practice in Leicester treating small and large animals. After having my fair share of TB testing and being covered in cow muck I decided to pursue my love of small animals and the seaside and move to a small practice in Cornwall. My favourite thing about being a vet is getting to witness and be part of the extra special bond between pets and their owners, and helping to make their much loved family pet feel better. I love all small animals but especially dogs, who have given me so much over my life time.

Marco Silva is about to embark upon a journey that could potentially make him one of the most respected managers in the game. He has taken over the managerial charge at Everton from Sam Allardyce and is making ambitious moves in the transfer market this summer. One such star player Everton are constantly being linked with is Kieran Tierney.
A transfer target for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth, Tierney is probably one of the best young left-backs currently in the game. He broke into the senior side at Celtic in 2014 and just a year later, found himself starting regularly in the top flight.
Under Brendan Rodgers, he is one of the first names on the team sheet and he only polished his reputation, with some superb performances in the group stages of the Champions League last season. He is strong and athletic, can deliver accurate crosses and is a hard man to ark. He is happy to put in the yards and is technically astute, making him a huge asset for the Celts.
At just 22, he has already mastered the art of hold up play and is also strong in the air. He takes up smart positions in both boxes and is an intelligent player, who has a bright future ahead of him.
He already has 77 Premiership appearances and has featured in 9 matches for his nation. The Scottish starlet has gathered enough exposure at the highest level to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. The Toffees have Leighton Baines as their first choice left back at the moment with Cuco Martina providing backup to the English defender. However, Baines is now 33 and thus it makes sense for them to sign a prospect like Tierney as his long-term replacement. The Scottish ace can spend time with Baines and gain more experience, before playing every week in England.
It is understood that Celtic are ready to let him leave for £25m and Everton are the front-runners for his signature. However, reports today claim that the Toffees are on the verge of walking away from a potential deal for Tierney, as they are not ready to meet his valuation.
It is revealed that Everton have already started pursuing alternatives and refuse to be pulled into a bidding war for the fullback this summer. Albeit, there are very few players with such potential and experience available in the transfer market at the moment so it makes no sense for the Toffees to look elsewhere.

They are better off meeting Celtic’s asking price, as sealing a move for Tierney will solve the left-back problem at the club for years to come. He is a long-term investment and at £25m, is an absolute steal for the Merseyside outfit. Do you think the price is too steep for Everton?
