DAMN Behaviours and Context Steering
After my GDC talk, Treff on twitter sent me a link to a paper from the late 90s by a researcher called Julio K. Rosenblatt. It had some similar ideas to my context steering technique. I thought I'd discuss the differences and similarities here.
The system asks modules (behaviours) to vote for how much it prefers each decision in a set of possible decisions. Each vote is weighted according to what behaviour it came from. Votes range from -1 (against) to 1 (for). Superficially this is similar to context steering, but does not split the votes across an interest and danger map. Because of this, it suffers from the same lack of movement constraint that we see with steering behaviours. The paper gets around this by weighting avoidance behaviours much more highly, but this just ends up disabling some nice emergent behaviours, as we saw with the balanced vector problem:
The merging of votes doesn't happen at the decision space. From the diagram below, it seems like there's some metadata about the curves used to write votes. Notice how a central curve is created from the two behaviours, rather than one small peak and one large peak. This is essentially a rasterized version of steering behaviours combined through weighted averages.
I think this all adds up to a rather expensive way of implementing steering behaviours. This is somewhat understandable as this paper came out just as or just before steering behaviours were starting to become popular, so the author may have been deep into his research by the time he heard of them.
There are several interesting aspects to the paper. It mentions that the behaviours all update at different frequencies, and the arbiter may receive votes at any time. This is great for those behaviours that are either low-priority or don't change a lot, and allows easy parallelisation.
DAMN uses multiple subsystems, each asking the behaviours different questions. A speed subsystem (or "arbiter") works out how fast to go, a Turn arbiter decides on direction, and because this is originally for controlling robots, a "field of regard" arbiter for working out where to turn the cameras. In comparison, context behaviours tend to use the maps for primarily computing a heading, then speed is calculated as a secondary factor – normally from the highest magnitude of interest or danger encountered. Splitting up like this makes for better separation of concerns, at a possible redundancy cost depending on implementation. It's an idea worth exploring.
The paper talks about structuring behaviours using a subsumption-style approach, with high-frequency basic behaviours providing a "first level of competence", built upon with more complex, possibly lower-frequency behaviours later. I like this way of thinking about behaviours. You can build your higher-level behaviours to be allowed to fail, knowing you'll be caught by the lower-level systems.
There's also some dense but potentially interesting passages that discuss methods of trying to evaluate the utility of each decision. It looks interesting but is a bit over my head. If anyone's got any further information on what they were talking about, please share it in the comments.
In summary I don't think there's a lot of similarity between context behaviours and DAMN behaviours, beyond the superficial. Context behaviours could take heed of DAMN's separation of concerns and the way polling is reversed, possibly making for better structuring of code. DAMN could do with adopting some of the simplicity of steering behaviours, or if required, the constraints and predictability of context behaviours.

Steering behaviours are doing it wrong
Update: you can now read part two of this series.
Steering behaviours have for a long time been a gateway drug of game AI. People like this (annoyingly pluralised) technique because its components are fun and easy to write, the framework code is very simple, requiring only some vector maths knowledge, and the end result is awesomely emergent.
For the uninitiated, a steering behaviours system is typically used to decide a direction and speed for an entity to move in, although it can be generalised as selecting a direction and strength in a continuous space of any dimensionality, not necessarily just spatial. The system contains many behaviours, each of which when queried returns a vector representing a direction and strength.
These vectors are then combined in some manner. The most simple combination strategy is averaging, but there are others that don't really change the arguments I make here.
As an example, consider an entity moving through space avoiding obstacles and chasing a target. A collision avoidance behaviour may return a vector pointing away from nearby obstacles, and the chasing behaviour will return a vector pointing towards the target. If the obstacle is behind and the target in front, the entity can move towards the target unhindered. If an obstacle is to the left of the entity's direction of travel, it will nudge its movement vector slightly to the right, moving it away from danger. Coding behaviour like this by hand would be much more complicated.
The strength of the returned vectors is proportional to how strongly the behaviour feels about this movement. For instance, when far from a target, the chase behaviour might return a long vector, to get him back into the hunt. When very near an obstacle, the collision avoidance behaviour might return a very long vector, to overwhelm over behaviours and get the entity to react quickly.
This all sounds great, right? Steering behaviour systems can be very effective, as long as you're using it in the right situations. It gives coherent and pleasing results when given the numerical statistical advantage to hide its flaws. A massive flock of entities moves through obstacles in a convincing manner, but inspect one of those and you'll find it sometimes behaves erratically, and without robust collision avoidance.
After all, the collision avoidance behaviour has no direct control over entity movement, and can just suggest directions to move in. If the chase behaviour also decides on a strong result, the two may fight and collision may be unavoidable.
When creating robust behaviours that work at the macro scale, with a small number of entities, these problems become very visible. The small component-based behaviours and lightweight framework are attractive but the system doesn't scale. You can code around the edge cases, but the previously-simple behaviours soon become complex and bloated.
Consider an example. If our chasing entity picks a target that's directly behind an obstacle, there will come a point where the vectors from the chase behaviour and the collision avoidance behaviour will cancel each other out. The entity will stop dead, even if there's another near-by and unobstructed target that could be picked. The chase behaviour doesn't know about the obstruction, so will never pick the second target.
To fix this, the first thing most people will try is to have the hunting behaviour path-find or ray-cast to the target. If it's unreachable or obscured, the behaviour can pick another target. This is successful, and your system is more robust.
However not only has your hunting behaviour become an order of magnitude more expensive, it's also become aware that such a thing as obstacles exist. The whole point of a steering behaviours system implementation is to separate concerns, to reduce code complexity and make the system easier to maintain. However we had to break that constraint and have lost those benefits as a result.
This is the design flaw of steering behaviours. Each behaviour produces a decision, and all decisions are merged. If one behaviour's decision (to chase a particular target) conflicts with another's (to avoid a certain obstacle), the most intelligent merge algorithm in the world will still fail. There's no way for it to know that two results conflict, and if there was there's no way for it to know how to resolve the conflict successfully.
To do that the system needs not decisions, but contexts. It needs to understand how each behaviour sees the world, and only then it can produce its own correct decision.
In a context-based chasing entity, the target behaviour would return a view of the world contextualising that there are several potential targets, and how strongly the behaviour wants to chase each one. The obstacle avoidance behaviour would return a view that showed several obstacles, and how strongly the behaviour wants to avoid each one. When placed in the balanced target-behind-obstacle situation above, the obstacle and the target cancel each other out but all the other contexts remain, including other potential targets. The system can recover and choose a direction that's sensible and coherent.
If computing and merging world contexts suggests generalised compromises and messy data structures, you'd be wrong. And I'll tell you why in my next blog post.
What? Don't look at me like that.

Cloisonné is a kind of famous special traditional handicraft of Beijing. The history of it can trace back to the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China. For the cloisonnés made in Jingtai Era in Ming Dynasty is the most exquisite and cloisonnés is usually in Blue, so get its names as Blue cloisonnés. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. The main raw material of production of cloisonne is purple copper or enamel. It has been regarded as national gift to state guests now.
Address: 10 Anlelin Road, Chongwen District, Beijing.
How to get: Take Bus 7, 803, 610, and get off at Liulijing Stop, or take Yuntong Bus 202 or Bus 986, and get off at Anlelin Stop.
How to get there: visitors can take Metro Line 1 and get off at Yong'anli Stop.
Fresh water pearls is another famous specialties as souvenirs and gifts for visitors. The difference between fresh water pearls and sea water pearls is that the former ones are non-nucleated pearls while the latter ones are nucleated. China is the main producer of fresh water pearls, whose productions accounted for 95% of the world. And Freshwater pearl is the best raw materials of pearl powder for the beauty. One can find fresh water pearls in great quality in Beijing. Most peoples like pearls jewelry. If you are interested, you can buy the pearls in Beijing as gifts or souvenirs. Pearls in Beijing are quite cheap.
Hongqiao Market (Address: Tiantan East Road, Chongwen District, Beijing) is a well-known pearl market in Beijing. Here you can buy cheap pearl. But you should learn to how to bargain here.
Snuff Bottles is more used as a kind of art ware in China, instead of it practical use by the Chinese during the Qing Dynasty to contain powdered tobacco. It is a small container in ancient China to contain snuff, which is a remedy for common illnesses such as headaches, colds, and stomach disorders. It was firstly brought in China from Europe but developed to have its own character with decoration, decoration, materials and size. Snuff Bottles are made out of many different materials including tortoiseshell, jade, ivory, porcelain, wood, ceramic and metal. While the most commonly used material is glass, for it is easily got and cheaper. Snuff Bottles with inside painted is the most interesting ones. The makers make classical Chinese paintings, like bamboos and calligraphy painted on the inside surface of the glass Snuff Bottles.
How to get: taxi is the most convenient way and you do not have to do the transfer.
How to get: take Bus 7, 14, 15, 45, 66 and get off at Liulichang Stop, or take Bus 102, 105, 603, and get off at Hufang Bridge, or take Metro Line 2 and get off at Hepingmen Station.

Derry Journal advert 6th April 1872 for the building of Lavey Chapel.
Lavey Chapel opening 1873 ad
Sited with its east end almost on the roadside, St. Mary's, Lavey closely resembles the siting and layout of St. Patrick's, Castlederg, where the parishioners had to walk around the transepts to find the entrance.
The foundation stone was laid on 26th May 1872 and it was dedicated on the 26th May 1873 by the bishop of the diocese, Dr. Kelly.The Londonderry Journal of the 9th July 1873 described the church:"A grand and beautiful edifice, few churches in Ireland have been built in so short a period of time. Three months before the building was commenced the only available fund was the small sum of seventeen pounds. It has not only been built within a limited period of fourteen months but what is better, it is perfectly free of any debt. This is the more remarkable, when we state that it is a very large and most expensively built church". The parish priest was Reverend James McLaughlin who left a note in the Baptismal Register - "Having spent eight laborious years in Lavey, expended during this time more than three thousand pounds in the erection of churches and schools".
Detailed lists of subscribers are among the parish records.The Journal continued its description:"It stands on a beautiful rising round, which comnands a view of the surrounding district. The site and adjacent grounds consists of one and a half acres which are kindly granted in perpetuity by Earl of Stafford, Sir Thomas Bateson and Lady le Poer Trench who are the joint proprietors of the Bellaghy Estate. The building and details, even to the furniture in the sacristy and altars is strictly Gothic of the most severe style. The plan cruciform, consists of nave, transepts, sanctuary, chapel of the Blessed Virgin and chapel of St. Joseph. The length of the nave is one hundred and six feet, the width thirty feet and across the transepts seventy feet and there also thirty feet wide; the sanctuary has a width of thirty feet and twenty feet long and is well adapted, on account of its site, for carrying out the grand and imposing ceremonies of the church. Stone is the best quality of black stone from the quarries of Knockloughleim. The exterior faces of all the stones are scabbled and the joints are punched four inches from the face, and laid with Portland cement. The walls of the entire superstructure are of uncoursed masonry and present an appearance of solidity and strength not surpassed by any church in Ireland. The stone used for the plinth and quoins is of the best description of sandstone, from the quarries of Tullyhogue. The jambs and mullions of the windows are all Dungiven freestone. The pillars are Dungannon freestone and consist of plinth, bell, abacus and capital. The roof is by far the grandest and most expensive part of the building, the timber is memel and red pine. The eight principals, which support the roof of the nave, rest on cut stone corbels. The roof of the transepts, sanctuary, chapels of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph are sheeted with red pine and panelled. No part of the building, however, displays more beauty and artistic skill than the cornice which is both massive and beautiful. The timber of the entire roof is stained and varnished.
The morning was unfavourable but the assemblage was one of the largest ever witnessed in any church in the County Derry. The gathering was between three and four thousand and nearly an equal number was congregated outside the building. Father Edward Loughrey preached the sermon and his distinct and powerful voice could be easily heard in every part of the large edifice. The collection was four hundred pounds. Messrs O'Neill and Byrne of Belfast were the architects and Mr. G. Tipping of Castledawson the contractor.
Here is an extract from another newspaper at the time courtesy of Joe McGurk.
Catholic Church of Lavey, Derry.
This is an extract from The Nation newspaper dated 4th January 1873. We copy from a Northern journal the following account of the above-named church, which is now in course of completion. We heartily echo the hope expressed in the last sentence.
The foundation stone of the above Church was laid on 2nd May last. Although the season was most unfavourable for building purposes, the spirited contractor, Mr. Tipping, carried on the work with such energy that the mason work of the entire building, and the roofing and slating, are now all completed. On the 11th of December, 187I- the only available funds the Rev James McLaughlin, PP had in hands for building a new church was the small sum of five pounds. On the 11th December, 1871, all the instalments due to the contractor up to that time were paid, and a balance still on hands. This church is not only the largest, but it is also the most beautiful that has yet been erected in the diocese of Derry. An eminent architect who visited it a few weeks ago, stated that it was the best rural church in the province of Ulster, and considered it as one of Mr. O'Neill's most successful efforts as an architect. The site is good, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding district The parish of Lavey lies between Maghera and Castledawson, and is only a short distance from the river Bann and Lough Neagh. The Catholic population scarcely amounts to 600 families. An idea, however, may be formed of their generosity and the noble sacrifices they have made when it is stated that during the mouths of January and February last they contributed to the building fund of their new church a sum nearly amounting to one thousand pounds and during the last few months the weekly collections amounted on the average to fifty pounds. It is not too much to say that no rural population in Ulster has over contributed the same amount of money in an equal space of time.
The architecture of this church is medieval gothic, of the cruciform style. It consists of nave, chancel, transepts, chapel of the Blessed Virgin, and chapel of St. Joseph. The chapel of St. Joseph stands between the northern transept and chancel, and is lighted by a large gothic window and a sixfall circular window. The chapel of the Blessed Virgin stands between the sacristy and the southern transept, aud has communication with the chancel by means of a large gothic arch. The entire building is of the best description of rubble masonry. The faces of all the stones are scabbled, and the joints and beds punched for four inches from the face, and laid in Portland cement. The stones used for the rubble masonry are all black stone of the best quality, got from the Knockcloghrim Quarries, The stones for the plinth and all the quoins are red sandstone from Tullyhogue. Tho jambs aud mullions and all the tracery for the windows are of Dungiven freestone, and the pillars arc Dungannon stone. The Rev. James McLaughlin and the people of the parish feel very grateful for the generous aid they received from the clergy and laity of the diocese, and from many other kind friends throughout Ireland and elsewhere ; and as a large sum will still be necessary for the completion and internal fittings, it is confidently hoped that a charitable public will lend them a helping hand.The church was dedicated on 6th July 1873,14 months after the foundation stone of the current Lavey chapel was laid on Thursday 2nd May 1872 by the Rev James McLaughlin, Parish Priest of Lavey, who had received permission from the Bishop of Derry, the Most Rev Dr Francis Kelly. The land for building had been acquired from the Bellaghy Estate and the design and building was entrusted to Messrs Tipping and Company of Castledawson and Magherafelt. Although unfinished, the chapel was opened on Sunday 6th July 1873 by Dr Francis Kelly and dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy.
146 years further on, the current renovation will largely be financed by the parishioners as it was in 1872. At that time, some funds had also been raised amongst the Tyneside Irish communities in Newcastle-on-Tyne, Jarrow and Wallsend where many people from Lavey parish had emigrated during the Famine of the 1840s. Incidentally, £1000 in 1873 would have the purchasing power of £115,000 today.

The old original altar was possibly removed during renovations in 1961. Apparently it was made mostly of wood with a marbelised effect.

The old zinc roofed shed to the extreme right was know as the stables. Parishioners who owned a horse/pony and trap would stable their animals here until Mass was over. Apparently the last parishioners to travel to mass by horse were in the early 1950s. Notice also dry toilet (No flushing system) building beside stable, mens and ladies.

Lavey Chapel 'Old Graveyard'.
A Chapel once existed in the Old Graveyard, the remains of which is just an old stone wall with some plaques and holy water fonts. Embedded in the wall is a date stone, 1802, for this chapel. This was found by Tommy Rankin when the new chapel gates were rebuilt in the 1980s under the auspices of Fr Regan PP.
We currently do not have much history about this chapel except some ordnance survey notes and repair bills carried out by Fr McAleer.

Westinghouse Electric as an inspirational image to
boost female worker morale. The poster was not
widely seen during World War II. It was rediscovered
in the early 1980s and widely reproduced in many
forms, often called "We Can Do It!" but also called
"Rosie the Riveter" after the iconic figure of a strong
female war production worker. Available in two, large

Here are some updates and info about from in Skopje where was international Lions forum for European Lions and Leos.
So let us tell you about Lions Europa Forum in Skopje. It was great experience, with all the Leos, Lions and friends that came to this international event, it was great example how Leos and Lions working together hand in hand, to achieve great things on district and international level. All together was around 125 Leos, from all across the globe, with lot of ILOs among them. There was presentation of ILO Council that was held by Dorina Szalagyi (also ILO Board member) where she explained structure of ILO Council. There were also few debates with Lions at World Café tables, they shared their way of thinking and shared ideas to Leos also accepted few ideas from Leos too. We are happy that we as Leos are welcomed at these kind of international events and always happy to help with organizing. We can't wait for EF in Tallinn, Estonia. But for more info you can contact ILOs in your country's, write to ILO Council, or you can ask your sponsoring Lions club to help you with all the information.
Thank you Macedonian Leos and Lions for hosting us it, was truly an amazing experience.
And special thanks to Andrej Maršič for organizing Leo workshops in EF and helping us to share our point of view on organization and guiding Leos at the event!
It was awesome to meet with old friends and get to know new ones, to participate on interesting workshops, to have crazy parties, a wonderful gala night and most importantly, to have an amazing social activity at LEF2018. We were sharing lot of #HUNforgettable moments and memories, see you at the next LEF in Portugal!
means that you should be creative enough to teach fun games to the campers, it means being able to create a united group, it means hard work but a lot of fun at the same time! Every participant will develop great leadership skills as well as problem solving abilities, by spending a period from 1 to 2 weeks surrounded by youths from all the Countries of the world. For further information don't hesitate to contact me!
2018 has been a fantastic year for the Waihi College Leos from Waihi, New Zealand!
We are a small club consisting of 10 members but our passion for the community is enormous. We find ourself involved in almost every community event and are often approached by members of the winder community who are seeking committed and reliable volunteers. We work very closely with the Waihi Lions Club and view them as our mentors and role models in the community. The Waihi College Leos take a great sense of pride in working for the greater good and can be spotted around town in our awesome Leo T-shirts. The year was off to a great start for the Waihi College Leos when we attended the Annual Lions District conference where we weeded around native trees that had been planted the previous year by other Leo Clubs. The theme for the district was 'Ignite the Passion', provided by District Governor Arvind Raman. We were given the opportunity to meet other Leos from our district and discussed our clubs active roles in the community. We assisted the Waihi Lions in placing a bid for the Waihi club to host the conference in 2020. In the last few months alone, the Waihi College Leos volunteered as waitstaff at a Lions charity dinner for our local St John ambulance that raised over $10,000 dollars to go towards their building fund. We also helped out at a huge rubbish clean up in our town that was a part of New Zealand's National Cleanup week. Along with 160 other volunteers we picked up over 100 large bags of rubbish and recycling. Nationwide, 51,000 volunteers took part and cleaned up 605 different areas, collecting over 70,000Kg of litter! We hope that we can form some great bonds with other Leo Clubs from around the globe and look forward to potentially working on some international projects together!
Leos from Leo club Mileva Maric Einstein from Novi Sad, Serbia organised their first Leo4Green project. They collected few bags of plastic caps and donated them to local organisation which sells plastic caps to recycling centers and uses money to buy wheelchairs for disabled children. This is an amazing way to help both those in need and our planet.


So, last year I had already bought a new pair of Salomons for my Camino 2018, when @davebugg started messing with my brain and I decided to try Altras. They were great! Sitting in my closet, I just discovered, is a brand new, in the box pair of Salomon´s mens 10.5 (yes, I have big feet!) X Ultra Mid GTX. I can post a picture if needed.
That's the best trade ever.
I don't need the shoes, but thanks for brightening my day, Laurie.
I love Salomon's but those are a tad too big for me. Thank you for the offer.
I live in Canada and that is the exact boot I am wearing now. If by chance you don't get someone in the US to give these boots to please let me know. This is a grand idea.
Drats, I just checked and the price to mail them would be between $60-70. Seems silly, but if you come over to the US, let me know and I'll get them to you.
Time to test the 6 degrees of separation, Laurie: can you get those shoes to @MichaelF4 in Canada by passing them hand to hand in 6 people or less?
A company I work with gets great rates with UPS and Fedex. If you can provide me a zip code I can see if they can pick them up or you can drop them off at a local pick up point.
I get my tools shipped to a place near the Canada USA border near to where I live and have them shipped there. Then I just drive a few Km to pick them up and pay the taxes at the border crossing. I even paid taxes on the dog I bought at a shelter in the USA. Hope this idea helps.
I waited 2.5 hours in the border lineup yesterday, so I could check out some things at the REI in Bellingham, WA. Didn't buy anything significant, in the end. You could probably have shipped them there while I was waiting.
Consider donating them to a homeless shelter or goodwill store . I've done that with some new boots I ordered online last year that weren't my size . I'm sure that someone will LOVE your gift and it will be a great way to 'pay it forward ' .

Q: SmartGit: Graph looks confusing After creating and merging some branches of my new project it looks like this:

This it hard to understand and does not give an overview as helpful as it could be. Because two merge commits are displayed as vertical-only lines and the overall structure is not very intuitively. In some intermediate states it looked even worse with several overlapping lines.
I know this graph changes depending on which branch is currently checked out but this is not getting much better. Is there any way to parameterize the graph generation for example to let it use more layers (one for each branch)?
In the end I would like to have it like this:

This is how Sourcetree shows the same graph. I don't want to use Sourcetree, but I really prefer how this graph looks.

Tesla's Price Cut, and More Car News From This Week
Happy New Year, and welcome back. 2019 is young, and we've already got a transportation bombshell on our hands: New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced he wants to cancel a planned subway line shutdown in the country's largest public transit system. He says a panel of experts found a smarter way to fix tunnels damaged by 2012's Hurricane Sandy—and according to engineers we spoke to, Cuomo might be right. But what happens now? Will the city stick with its plans, formed over the course of three years, to revamp bike and bus lanes and pedestrian spaces? Transportation advocates hope so.
Meanwhile, we're still a little stuck on 2018, which was filled with exciting advances for Tesla, scooter-share, and even self-driving cars (sometimes). Read about the happenings, before it all fades away. It's been a few weeks. Let's get you caught up.
Stories you might have missed from WIRED these past few weeks
Happy New Year: Tesla just lost access to its $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit. It's not the electric carmaker's fault—the federal legislation that created the tax credit only applies to the first 200,000 EVs sold by a given company, then halves the credit. But Tesla responded anyway, with a $2,000 price cut that senior writer Jack Stewart notes might be better for consumers after all.
And Jack finds that 2018 was actually a pretty remarkable year for the electric carmaker, with the Model 3 on track to become the best selling luxury car of 2018. (Tesla will unveil its latest sales figures soon.)
Sure, it would be nice if bike- and scooter-share riders always wore helmets. But the things are so burdensome to carry around. A new, packable, telescoping helmet made by Closca might make the safety thing a touch easier.
Transpo editor Alex Davies got to hop inside Arcimoto's Fun Utility Vehicle. The FUV is an odd, electric tricycle thing without windows, doors, a steering wheel, or pedals. Odd, but fun.
Process your grief over the death of General Motors' electric Chevrolet Volt with this oral history of the path-breaking car. Recalls one GM alum: "We actually did one of those weird smoky room dinners in December 2006, about a month before the Detroit auto show, at a backroom table, with a laptop showing us the Volt."
On the challenges of running an Uber, but for kids.
New York governor Andrew Cuomo makes a yuge announcement: The much bemoaned, 15-month shutdown of NYC's L subway line might not happen after all. But transportation advocates wonder what that means for the city's progressive transit contingency plans.
The good news: Engineers seem to believe that Cuomo's new plan to fix the L-train tunnel infrastructure damaged during Hurricane Sandy will work.
Last year, scooter-sharing exploded onto the urban transportation scene, leaving both delighted riders and very contentious city council meetings in its wake. But 2019 may prove to be the make or break-your-wrist year for the new mobility option.
Autonomous vehicle developers have had some trouble living up to their bold proclamations of a couple of years ago. Turns out it's really hard to build a self-driving car that goes everywhere—which means it's time to start focusing on where they'll show up, not when.
Still recovering from 2015's Dieselgate scandal, Volkswagen unveils a mobile electric vehicle charger concept, which it pitches as a quick, easy way to patch holes in EV infrastructure.
We're not ready to let go of 2018 yet. Check out WIRED Transportation's most read stories of 2018.
Unexpected B-Plot of the Week
She's baaaack! Rapper Azealia Banks makes another unexpected cameo on the transportation beat this week, as she and Elon Musk's then-girlfriend, the art pop musician Grimes, became enmeshed in the ongoing lawsuit over the Tesla CEO's tweets. Investors suing Musk and Tesla for market manipulation want to subpoena both women. Tesla lawyers are displeased.
The year-over-year increase in new light vehicles prices in the US, which reached $37,577 in December, according to Kelley Blue Book.
News from elsewhere on the internet
The New York Times finds an Arizona couple that dedicates serious time to terrorizing the Waymo self-driving vehicles testing in their neighborhood. They are not alone.
Tesla appoints two new independent board members, Oracle cofounder and executive chair Larry Ellison and Walgreens global human resources head Kathleen Wilson-Thompson. The carmaker had agreed to name new board members as part of its settlement with the SEC over Elon Musk's tweets.
GM says it will lose its electric vehicle tax credits in April. (It sold its 200,000th US plug-in vehicle during 2018's fourth quarter.)
General Motors product development head Mark Reuss snags the job as company president, which Dan Ammann left open when he departed to head the automaker's autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Cruise.
Speaking of Cruise: The AV developer says it will partner with delivery app DoorDash to deliver restaurant meals and groceries to San Francisco customers.

Spectacular Places to Visit in the USA – Explore the best of America's Water Fountains
An enticing factor about water fountains is that their charismatic structures and art forms beguile you. You can't stop marveling the ambiance it creates and some compel you to ponder about the fables behind its creation. While the USA is popular for an amazing collection of tourist attractions and natural sights, it also has a beautiful assortment of water fountains. Though not as magnificent as fountains in Italy, USA has an understated yet attractive group water fountains with historic significance scattered all through the destination. Let's look at some interesting water fountains in the USA that you can visit on your USA holiday.
Bellagio Fountains – Las Vegas
Perhaps the most iconic and well-known water fountain in the USA is the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas. Las Vegas being one of the most popular places to visit in the USA, Bellagio fountains is one spectacle not to be missed on your US trip. First of its kind in the world, Bellagio Fountains pioneer the art of synchronizing water jets, laser lighting, and music into a spectacular show. The water fountain set on a manmade lake right in front of the Bellagio hotel is one of the most mesmerizing sights to watch on Las Vegas strip. The grand fountain show became the source of inspiration for the extravagant Dubai Fountain. About 4500 lights and 1200 water nozzles create an awe-inspiring performance tuned perfectly with different genres of music. This remarkable water fountain show takes place daily in the evening, open to spectators to watch without spending a dime.
National World War II Memorial – Washington DC
A symbol of homage for the Americans who laid down their lives in World War II, National World War Memorial in Washington D.C is one of the famous tourist places in the USA. Set amid the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, the fountain consists of 56 engraved granite pillars and small triumphal arches encircling a plaza. This arena consists the central water fountain and tiny arches of water spouting around it. The panoramic view of this water fountain looks amazing where you can find yourself gazing long into the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial through the fountains from different viewpoints. This national monument is open for everyone 365 days of the year.
Scott Memorial Fountain – Detroit
This fountain was built as a commemoration of James Scott, who bequeathed his fortune to the city to build this giant water fountain that includes a statue of him. Located in Belle Isle Park in Detroit, this water fountain covers 510 feet of land and has fountain nozzles that shoot water up to 125 feet. In all, there are more than 100 water spouts that emerge out of human, animal and sea creature figurines. It is one of the most significant and popular site to visit in Detroit.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial – Washington DC
Another gorgeous water presentation in Washington DC is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Spread over 7.5 acres of land, this memorial pays tribute to the 32nd President of the United States. Located at the National Malls Tidal Basin – a beautiful place in the USA to witness cherry blossoms, the memorial is designed as four galleries depicting the four terms of Roosevelt as President and has several water features. Though it isn't exactly a water fountain, the memorial's water elements are beautifully showcased in forms of stunning cascades and pools which are spectacular sights to view.
Pulitzer Fountain – New York
Located in the Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza, Pulitzer Fountain is another fountain that was bequeathed by its creator as a tribute to himself. Built to honour Joseph Pulitzer – an editor and publisher in New York, this fountain is a colossal 22 feet high 5-tiered ornate fountain adorned with sculptures and a large granite basin. The statue of the goddess of abundance – Pomona graces the top of the fountain. The fountain was made to look like those in Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. The fountain has borne the wear and tear of time and undergone several restorations and is still functional presently.
Buckingham Fountain – Chicago
An iconic landmark in Chicago, the Buckingham Fountain located in Grant Park is among the world's largest water fountains. Officially known as the Clarence F. Buckingham Memorial Fountain, this fascinating fountain is styled in the form of a layered wedding cake and the main water spray shoots up to 150 feet in the air. Representing the Lake Michigan, the fountain is inspired by the Bassin de Latone and modeled after Latona Fountain at Versailles. It consists of three tired basins with 134 powerful water jets. These basins are decorated with four seahorses that symbolize the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin which border Lake Michigan. The fountain operates in the months of May to October from 8 pm till 11 pm. The fountain showcases an impressive water and light show of 20 minutes every hour in the evening during its operational months.
While these water fountains are just a few handpicked selections, there are many more water fountains dotted all around the USA for you to explore. What is more exciting about these water features is that each has a historic or subjective significance for you to discover. These are no doubt some of the enchanting places to see in the US. In case you are wondering where to go in the USA for more charming experiences, check out these selections of spa resorts in the USA.

Former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and Sir Marc Wabara, have formed a formidable alliance to make the state the strongest political fortress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South East. At the weekend in Ohambele Ndoki, Ukwa East Local Government Area (LGA) of the state, Dr. Kalu declared his 100 per cent support for Wabara's candidature, as APC aspirant for Abia South Senatorial District.
Kalu, who is also an APC aspirant for Abia North Senatorial District, said he decided to stand with Wabara so that both of them together, will restore the image of Abia and bring back dividends of democracy to the state.
Speaking through Barr Ben Kalu, at the occasion marking the official declaration of Sir Marc Wabara to run for the Senate, the business mogul said he is confident that Wabara's declaration is the birth of a political revolution in the state as one of the credible men to work with to bring change to Abia. "Today, I associate myself with a great son of Abia State.
He's a very good friend of mine. He's a man that can tell my story without error. He has proven himself trustworthy in anything he does. He doesn't talk too much, but his voice is always heard from far and wide. "I have confidence in him as both a man and a friend. I do not need just anybody to work with, I need real men. The work of saving Abia from poor representatives is work for generals and Wabara is a general.
Speaking during his declaration, Sir Marc Wabara, former Managing Director of Hallmark Bank, and younger brother to the former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara, said no amount of infantile intimidation by the ruling party in the state will stop change in Abia come 2019 and described the vandalising of his posters and billboards as a good sign of victory. Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari while speaking through his Personal Assistant and member, Presidential Technical Committee, Dr. Waje Bayel endorsed Wabara and urged the people of Abia South to rewrite their history by sending a servant leader, who knows their pains.

Boca Juniors have given up on the prospect of signing Gustavo Gomez, as AC Milan have been steadfastly refusing to sell the player. The 24-year-old has been subjected to much interest from Argentina outfit Boca Juniors, who have been keen to take the player back to South American football. After starting his career with Libertad in 2011, the defender made the switch to Argentina outfit Lanus in 2014. He spent two years at this club, but it is here where he rose to prominence. In just two years, he made close to 100 appearances for the club and scored three goals.
The performances led to the attention from AC Milan and several other clubs from European football. Milan were finally able to secure his signature in August 2016 for a fee of around € 8.5 million. Thus, he became the first player from Paraguay to represent the iconic Italian outfit. He made his debut for Milan just a few weeks after signing for the club. However, a torrid run of form for AC Milan coupled with vast changes to the ownership and management led to Gustavo Gomez falling out of favour on a consistent basis. In the last two years, he has represented Milan in just 21 games. As a result, he was expected to be sold in January.
"There's a market value that can be agreed on. However, the situation is what it is. Gomez is definitely a player who would raise our level, but after talking to President Angelici, I can confirm that negotiations have ended once and for all," said Boca Juniors manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto. It is a major disappointment for Boca Juniors and the player, as Gomez would have been hoping to move back to Argentine football and get regular football under his belt. His international career has seen him represent Paraguay in 25 matches.

One time in college my best friend Sarah taught a session at a church activity. It was called "How to Make an Impressive Dinner," and we made it all, from main dish to sides to dessert. A bunch of 19 and 20 year old girls cooking fancy food in a run down apartment in Provo, Utah. Good times.
She made homemade rolls and I thought it was the most amazing thing ever (or dare I say, impressive). I didn't know making yeasty bread was a thing you could actually DO. My mom never baked anything with yeast. I think she was just always too offended by the "knead for 8 minutes" part.
So there you have it guys. If this recipe has too much kneading for you, follow Mom's instructions above.
How can you say no to a chewy, fresh baked roll that has just been dunked in garlicky butter and olive oil? You can't, really. These would be great to make ahead for Thanksgiving. You could make them today and freeze them.* Fresh bread is one of the best parts of Thanksgiving!
These Garlic Knots are the perfect rolls for your Thanksgiving (or Easter) table! They are chewy and soft, and have TONS of garlicky, buttery flavor! You can't eat just one.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, add the yeast, warm water and sugar. Make sure the water isn't too hot. It should feel like nice bath water. Not hot-tub hot. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to proof. You are "proving" that the yeast hasn't been killed. If the yeast has puffed up, you're good to go. If the water is still flat after 5 minutes, then toss it out and start over.
Stir in the salt, olive oil, and 1 cup of flour.
Switch to the dough hook if you're using a mixer. Stir in another 1 and 1/2 cups flour.
Knead for 7-8 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour a few tablespoons at a time if the dough is sticking to the sides and bottom. You want the dough to be smooth and elastic. It should not stick (much) to your fingers. Stop adding flour when you have reached this stage.
Grease a large bowl with nonstick spray or rub with olive oil.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the greased bowl. Turn it over so that the top half gets oiled.
Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 and 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size. I like to let dough rise in the oven: before you put the dough in, turn the oven on to the warm setting for a couple minutes, then turn the oven off. Once the oven is off, you can put the dough inside for a good rising environment.
Once the dough is risen, punch down and let rest another 10 minutes.
Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. I weighed mine, they were each a little less than 2 ounces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch snake. It should be between 1/2 and 1 inch thick.
Carefully tie each rolled-out piece into a knot.
Place each knot on the prepared baking sheets.
Cover with tea towels and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden and the bottoms are brown. I used 2 oven racks and switched pans halfway through baking time. Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
While the rolls are baking, make the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, add butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, until the garlic has just barely started to brown. Keep an eye on it, you don't want the garlic to get dark. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley. Let cool slightly.
Dip each roll in the garlic butter sauce. It helps to spoon some on top to make sure you get garlic in the knot crevices. Place on a wire rack. Serve warm.
This recipe only makes 12 rolls! It's not enough! I will double it next time.
*If I were going to freeze these, I would skip making the garlic butter sauce. Freeze the rolls in a ziplock after cooling from the oven. To thaw, leave rolls on the counter, sealed in the bag, for a couple hours. Reheat in the oven on a baking sheet for 5-10 minutes at 350. Then continue with the dipping in step 17.
This recipe is from my BFF Sarah's mom, Anne. Thanks Anne!
More yeasty bread! Give me all the bread!
Buttery Sweet Potato Rolls << these would be perfect for Thanksgiving too!
Garlic and Rosemary Skillet Bread < can there ever be too many garlic bread recipes? No, no there cannot.
More garlicky rolls from blog friends!
Awesome recipe and perfect ingredients! Thanks for sharing this recipe that is not only great for thanksgiving celebration but is also good for ordinary days or meals. The savory flavors of garlic, butter and butter make it a great snack for ordinary movie time, snack time or study time. It is also filled with richness and flavor so we will surely eat more than one until we get contented with its unique taste due to its unique blend of ingredients. I can't wait for tomorrow to try this at home!
Thanks Billy! I'm glad you loved the recipe!
Super excited about making these for Thanksgiving. Karen. You are right that one recipe is not enough. I made a batch of your Aunt Shirley's dinner rolls a couple days ago and Chip and I have eaten the entire batch. No now I have to decide which one to make??? I was considering making the Aunt Shirley rolls and putting the garlic butter on them! I don't know what to do?!!?? I'm on the horns of a dilemma!! Help!!
Ooooooh Aunt Shirley garlic knot mashup??? That sounds amazing!!!
These look so good! So funny that Jan won't do yeast. It's always funny to me how people can be raised by the same people but be so different in ways.
I was raised by a woman who wouldn't know yeast if it rose up and bit her :) Your mom absorbed special powers from somewhere – maybe Grandma Alma? I don't know if Grandma Doris did yeast – your mom also has the memory gene, you'll have to ask her….
hi can the dough be made a day earlier and refrigerated or frozen?
I hope you enjoy the recipe Nicoletta! Thanks for your comment!

Canada starts its new immigration scheme which targets skilled tradespeople
Posted on January 7, 2013 | Last Updated on February 18, 2020
In January 2012 Canada launched its new immigration scheme that is open for skilled tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians and metalworkers.
The program will be more focused on the skill and the trades qualification of the applicants than on their formal education and academic credentials.
The reason for the introduction of the program is that tradespeople were not being able to gain enough points in order to qualify for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
At the same time, there is a noticeable shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada.
The Canadian Government has announced that during the first year only 3000 applications for the program will be accepted so it is advisable that you should apply as soon as possible.
In order to be successful most of the applications will need to fulfil the following criteria.
An offer of employment in Canada or a 'certificate of qualification' from a province or territory which will certify that applicants are 'job ready' on arrival
Basic language skills
A minimum of two years' recent work experience as a skilled tradesperson
To be able to demonstrate that they possess skills that match those set out in the National Occupation Classification system (NOCB)
The Canadian immigration minister Jason Kenney said that the list of trades which will be accepted under the program will be divided into two groups.
In Group A there will be a sub-cap of 100 applications in each trade. In Group B, there will be no sub-caps. According to him, the new program will help Canada to overcome some significant labour shortages.
He hopes that the program will be a significant contributor to the growth of the Canadian economy.

Q: How to getActivity() in a static method? I would like to call method1 from another class, but how can i use getActivity() in a static method?
I only found examples for FragmentActivity or other types. I am sorry if this question already got answered somewhere else, but i could not find anything that i could implement in my code.
Any help is appreciated.
public class Tab1 extends Fragment {

public static String readFromFileKurs(Context ctx) {

        ret = "";

        try {
            InputStream inputStream = ctx.openFileInput("configkurs.txt");

            if ( inputStream != null ) {
                InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
                BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
                String receiveString = "";
                StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

                while ( (receiveString = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null ) {
                    stringBuilder.append(receiveString);
                }

                inputStream.close();
                ret = stringBuilder.toString();

            }
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            Log.e("login activity", "File not found: " + e.toString());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("login activity", "Can not read file: " + e.toString());
        }

        return ret;

    }

public static void method1(){

temp = readFromFile(getActivity());

}
}

A: You can't use getActivity(), since it's a static method and thus can't access activity/fragment's methods. You may want to pass the activity as a parameter (since method1 must get called from some non-static method).
However in your case, you don't need a specific Activity - just a context, any context - so an application context may suffice. Refer to This SO question for more info.

Arizona Energy-Education Fund by Senator Al Melvin, LD-26
Recent articles about my proposed education fund and related spent nuclear fuel recycling program have produced some uninformed and negative reactionary responses. I urge everyone in the media, political arena and the voting public to educate themselves about this important subject.
First, commercial recycling of used nuclear fuel has a long and successful history, mostly outside of the United States. The French company AREVA has successfully managed a recycling complex for more than forty years.
Second, approximately 60,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel are stored at nuclear reactor sites never designed for storing such material. Deep geologic salt beds are the recommended sites for retrievable storage of spent nuclear fuel. To maximize storage capacity at the site, it makes sense to co-locate a recycling facility at the storage site. In terms of mass, 96% of the used fuel is reusable. As with so many other materials it makes environmental sense to recycle the used fuel.
Why would a community want to host a nearby recycling site? Let's look at Carlsbad,New Mexico, which entered into a partnership with the Department of Energy, the State of New Mexicoand a company called URS to build the first Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) for nuclear materials storage. Carlsbad sits at the southern end of the Permian Salt Basin. This partnership resulted in a storage facility 2,150 feet below ground. I've been there to visit the facility and it is a marvelous site. The WIPP consortium employs more than 1,000 people and brings in $250 million annually to Carlsbad. What problems have arisen due to WIPP? None. In fact, unemployment there has been just above 4% over the past years while national unemployment surpassed 9%. As of my visit to Carlsbad last month, more than 700 jobs were unfilled and developers could not keep up with housing demand.
Arizona has an opportunity to build a recycling and storage facility that will bring the host community $500 million annually over 50 years, create 18,000 construction jobs over a ten year period, with 5,000 direct jobs and 30,000 indirect jobs, post-construction.
As an added benefit, we can dedicate part of the revenue stream to K-12 and Universities. The proposed AZ Energy-Education Fund will generate a minimum of $100 million a year for 50 years for education in our state, over and above what we are now spending. We have already met with representatives from K-12, Universities, the Arizona Department of Education, power companies, technical experts and others, and these ideas have been well received.
Arizonans should understand that this is not a project that can or will be rushed. It is likely to be a ten-year process between planning, site determination, working with the local communities to make a proper presentation, and passing the needed legislation at the State and Federal levels, all before we can break ground.
The naysayers have already begun sniping at the idea. These people have been overreacting to the ghost of "China Syndrome" for too long. TheUnited States,France and other countries have long established safety records with nuclear materials. The United States Navy has operated nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers for 50 years without incident. New Mexico's WIPP facility has received nearly 11,000 shipments since 2000, without incident.
Arizona has a number of sites that contain (1) remoteness, (2) deep geologic salt formations and (3) existing transportation infrastructure. It is time to let potential host communities nearest these sites make the decision. If the people say 'yes', the community benefits, education benefits and all Arizonans benefit.

Q: Migrate AIR Android p12 keystore file to Cordova At the time of our initial AIR app for Android release, we generated a .p12 keystore file using openssl, and ever since we have been signing our Android app with this file and a pw before submitting it to the Google Play Store.  We build our apk thus:
java adt.jar -storetype pkcs12 -keystore {our-p12} -storepass {our-pw} ....

We are now migrating to Cordova.
We have imported our p12 into a new keystore file following the instructions here Signing apk with .p12.  We use the following command to import our p12 into an empty keystore file:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore {our-p12} -destkeystore viacordova.keystore -srcstoretype pkcs12

However, when we try to upload our Cordova app to Google, we get the following error:
Upload failed

You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APKs. You must use the same certificate. Your existing APKs are signed with the certificate(s) with fingerprint(s):

[ SHA1: {list of bytes} ]

and the certificate(s) used to sign the APK you uploaded have fingerprint(s):

[ SHA1: {different list of bytes} ]

A: If anyone lands here facing the same issue, this is how I solved it.
The issue at heart is that the original .p12 file is super old (2012 for me) and was created with jdk1.7 and adobe air. Using later versions of jdk seem to mess with the fingerprint.
However I discovered you don't actually need to do anything with your existing .p12 but you do need to use jdk1.7 to sign the app. Using Cordova to sign the app won't work and will complain about the .p12
The below steps allowed me to sign my Cordova Android app and successfully submit it as an update on google play with an existing .p12 cert created with adobe air.
First build an unsigned release version of your android app using latest Cordova and dependencies etc.
cordova build android --release

Navigate to a jdk1.7 bin directory, in my case on windows it was: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin and now sign your app with jdk1.7 jarsigner.
jarsigner -keystore PATH_TO/your_original.p12 -storetype pkcs12 PATH_TO/app-unsigned.apk 1

Now you just need to use zipalign with this command. Using latest zipalign in Android\Sdk\build-tools works OK.
zipalign -f -v 4 app-unsigned.apk app-signed.apk

Now you can upload your .apk to google play store.
