The 4th Industrial Revolution & Library Practices in South Africa
Publishing Date: 10/23/2018 10:00 AM
The University of Johannesburg Library hosted a Colloquium on Friday 19 October at the University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park Campus under the theme: The 4th Industrial Revolution & Library Practices in South Africa.
Amidst a technological revolution that will alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another, the colloquium seeked to understand the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution/Industry 4.0 on the library system and more generally, on society as a whole.
Professor Maria Frahm-Arp (Executive Director: UJ Library) opened the event and explored the first steps in implementing the 4th Industrial Revolution in the Library Space and why libraries should adapt and embrace the change.
''One of the things we need to do is to begin to embrace what the world of work looks like in this 4th Industrial Age. New opportunities for Libraries include Uber; book to desk / B2D for academics; Mobile worklist alerts; and push information for academics.''
The 4th Industrial Revolution comes which much excitement and uncertainty, but what is known is that the response to this change must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society.
Professor Johannes Cronje (Dean of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology)
Keynote Speaker Stafford Masie, a South African 'techpreneur' and former head of Google SA addressed the topic of AI and Humanity's Re-imagining.
''Artificial Intelligence is about unleashing human intelligence. It is a metamorphosis of a society. We are moving from an era of owning things to an era of accessing things.''
Professor Johannes Cronje (Dean of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology) spoke about the transition of the 4th industrial revolution and what libraries should be looking at for in the 5th industrial revolution.
"5.0 is a return to humanity. It is a shift from knowing your collection to knowing your connection." The role of the librarian changes from knowledge of the collection, to knowledge of the users. The libraries can receive large volume of information that they can use to design better solutions for users. He also explains how the need to approach libraries physically are diminishing.
Professor Sinha Saurabh (Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research & Internationalisation) spoke of Industry 4.0 and Higher Education, maintaining that as an institution, UJ is committed to upskilling at all levels to ensure students and staff are future-fit.
''Our intent as the University of Johannesburg is threefold. Firstly, we are striving to develop more graduates that are ready & relevant to enter and engage with Industry. Secondly, we have put in place measures to ensure that there is continued professional development. Lastly, we are continuously aiming to be thought leaders in the 4th Industrial Age.''

Bitcoin is volatile, but that doesn't mean it's in a bear market. | Image: CsaboPhoto/shutterstock.com
Is It Time to Redefine "Bear Market" for Bitcoin?
January 12, 2021 UTC: 6:33 PM. by Aaron Weaver
After rocketing to all-time highs over the past month, Bitcoin had its first major pullback.
The media is already coming out calling this a bear market, and bears are calling it a bubble.
It's a familiar script that's been repeated in the cryptosphere ad nauseam. Is now the time to believe it?
Bitcoin plummeted. If you've been in the crypto market for even as little as one year, you know that's business as usual.
Bitcoin shoots up, then it drops. Then it usually shoots up again, then it drops. The naysayers come out in chorus with each dip, saying it's a bubble, a crash, and a terrible investment.
If you're new to the crypto game, get used to this refrain.
Bitcoin Loses 20% of Its Value (Again)
It's been a volatile week in the world, and the world of cryptocurrency. According to CoinMarketCap, the flagship cryptocurrency has gone from an all-time high of over $41,000 to under $31,000 in a span of four days.
Bitcoin experienced another rocky week. | Source: CoinMarketCap
The monthly chart? It doesn't look a whole lot better:
But has it really been a rough month? | Source: CoinMarketCap
As defined by Investopedia, a bear market occurs when a market declines by 20% or more. This decline is usually accompanied by "widespread pessimism and negative investor sentiment."
Bitcoin has recently lost 20% of its value. And there is no shortage of Bitcoin naysayers, even when the asset is skyrocketing. So when CNN says the asset is in a bear market, it's technically not wrong.
But if you're not new to Bitcoin or the crypto market, you know this feels like a wild statement.
After all, Bitcoin lost nearly 20% of its value several times during this bull run.
At the beginning of September, it dropped from $12k to $10k in less than a week.
On November 24th, 2020, Bitcoin went from roughly $19,200 to roughly $16,700 in a span of two days.
Almost another bear market! | Source: CoinMarketCap
Three days after that, it topped its previous all-time high. And now it's worth over $35,000, and the media is calling it a bear market.
Is This Really a Bear Market?
As we said, there are plenty of people ready to demonize Bitcoin at every chance they get. When it's experiencing a steep dip, that's usually when they get the loudest.
Long-time Bitcoin cynic Peter Schiff took to Twitter to feed the flames:
Apparently, there are more fools every day. | Source: Twitter
Michael Harnett, the chief investment strategist at Bank of America Securities, said Bitcoin appears to be "the mother of all bubbles."
Really, Michael? I thought the mother of all bubbles was in 2017, back when The Atlantic called Bitcoin "the most obvious bubble ever."
In June 2020, Peter Schiff said everyone holding Bitcoin should've sold it during the height of that 'bubble' because Bitcoin "won't even come close" to an all-time high in 2020. It shattered its all-time high in December 2020.
Whoopsie. | Source: Twitter
I would try to throw shade on the cryptocurrency if I, too, were as wrong as Peter Schiff.
While the recent charts might look precarious, let's pull back and look at where we're at in the long run.
Where did that bubble go? | Source: CoinMarketCap – image edited by CCN.
2017 may have been a bubble, but there haven't been too many bubbles in history that popped, then reinflated, then ballooned past the previous highs.
And there haven't been too many 'bear markets' that aren't even visible within a massive bull market.
What the Others Are Saying
Crypto vets all across Twitter are laughing at CNN's assertion. They've been through it, and they know that we aren't yet in a real crypto bear market.
This man has a point. | Source: Twitter
The Winklevoss twins have seen many dips in their time. | Source: Twitter
Many are viewing this pullback as a buying opportunity. | Source: Twitter
No one is denying the volatility of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. But it's precisely because of this volatility that we can't just start saying that Bitcoin is in a 'bear market.'
If it keeps dropping below its 2017 highs, then maybe we can start the bear talk. But until that happens, let's call this what it is: a dip, a pullback, and a correction. Anything more than that is hyperbole.

A guide for new climbers on how to prepare for your first visit to Onsight Rock Gym.
Everyone who enters the facility must have a current and valid Onsight Rock Gym Release of Liability Form (waiver) on file.
To get started climbing faster when you arrive, please fill out the online waiver before your visit.
Everyone under 18 years of age must have their waiver signed by his or her parent or legal guardian. If the parent or legal guardian will not be present, the waiver must be completed in advance. Legal guardians must provide proof of guardianship to sign a child's waiver.
All children under 13 years of age must be supervised by an adult at all times while at Onsight Rock Gym.
Upon arrival to our facility, all guests must complete a Gym Orientation with Onsight Rock Gym staff and watch a short Bouldering Orientation video before being granted access to any climbing area. This orientation procedure is mandatory and will include an introduction to all of our climbing areas, facility rules, and policies.
You can purchase a day pass, which lasts all business day (you can leave and return), a 10 visit punch pass, or one of our membership options.
What to wear? We highly suggest avoiding restrictive clothing such as jeans because it can limit movement and make rock climbing uncomfortable and more difficult. Any athletic type of pants would be perfect. No skirts or dresses are allowed while climbing. Don't forget to wear closed toed shoes! Rock climbing shoes, while not required, are highly recommended. Climbing harnesses, belay devices, chalk bags, and climbing shoes are all available for rent.
Top rope climbing is the most common type of indoor rock climbing that people are familiar with. The rope is always through the anchors above you, at the top of the route. You will always have a fixed system with proper safety equipment that allows you to climb confidently while someone belays you from the ground, on the other end of the rope. Your belayer's job is to help arrest falls and safely lower you back to the ground. The basic skills required to belay are not difficult to learn, but require specific instruction from trained personnel and practice to properly master.
Without previous belaying experience, your best option is to take an Intro to Climbing Class. In this 90 minute class, you will learn the basics of climbing and top rope belaying. Upon successful demonstration of the new skills, you will receive a temporary top rope belay tag to belay for that day only. You may choose to return on a separate day to take the Top Rope Belay Test.
Includes: Day pass for use of the facility on day of your class and a FREE return day pass to use within 2 weeks of your class date.
Booking: Reservations are recommended but not required. Check our events calendar for available dates + times.
Want to take a Family Intro to Climbing Class? This option allows the adults to take the class while the kids climb on the auto belays. A perfect way to get the whole family climbing together!
Bouldering is a type of climbing that involves climbing to shorter heights which are not tall enough to require a rope or harness. It also doesn't require you to have a partner, but it is always more fun to climb with others and have someone spotting you. For these reasons, bouldering is a great way to try out climbing! Onsight Rock Gym has a large bouldering area that is equipped with a super thick and seamless flooring system.
You must be supervised by an adult if you are under the age of 13.
Although you do not have to be certified to boulder, you must understand the rules of bouldering, how to spot, and how to fall properly, which are covered in our mandatory Bouldering Orientation Video that you will watch when you arrive.
Onsight offers seven Perfect Descent Auto Belay units in the kids'/beginner's climbing room and five in our main climbing area. During private group events and parties (usually on weekends), the kids'/beginner's room may be unavailable. Please call us ahead of time to ensure the room is available if you are interested in using the auto belays in that room. An auto belay eliminates the need for a human belayer. The auto belay takes up the slack as the climber ascends and controls the descent when the climber reaches the top or in the event of a fall. After a quick orientation on how to use the auto belays, you can clip yourself in and try out rock climbing! Children ages 12 and under must be clipped in by an adult and supervised at all times.

Guest post By Jessica Hernández-Jerónimo, Eduardo A. Recillas-Bautista and Juan C. García-Morales.
Lepidoptera are one of the most diverse orders of insects in the world, with approximately 155,000 species of which 9% are in Mexico! It is surprising that of those 14,507 species described, only 12% are butterflies, one of the best known, beautiful and charismatic groups in popular culture, even in a scientific aspect; But what about the remaining 88%? It consists of moths, which despite having the highest percentage of species richness remains a "despicable" group, with a bad reputation and an insufficiently studied taxonomy except in agronomic and clinical aspects.
In Mexico compared to studies focused on butterflies (Papilionoidea s. l.); there are few Mexican institutions or specialists who carry out activities of Mothing, Moth-watching or the study of moths, there are works such as: the Catálogo sistemático y zoogeográfico de los lepidópteros mexicanos by Carlos C. Hoffmann, the book Las mariposas nocturnas del Valle de México by Dr. Carlos Rommel Beutelspacher Baigts, the Revista de la Sociedad Mexicana de Lepidopterología, Nueva Serie; articles published by PhD. Manuel A. Balcázar Lara, PhD. Jorge L. León Cortés and PhD. Fernando Hernández-Baz outstanding specialists in the country for studies of Saturniidae, Sphingidae and Erebidae. In addition, at the Museo de Historia Natural in Mexico City is the collection 'Roberto Müller' one of the largest there is in terms of moth, under the responsibility of the Biol. Ma. Eugenia Díaz Batres.
In the last 5 years, in Mexico began a trend in the appreciation of nature through photography within Internet spaces; as are citizen science platforms or the creation of groups on Facebook. It was November 25, 2013, when Juan Carlos García Morales created the group on Facebook "Mariposas de México, diurnas y nocturnas"; a space for feedback about information of lepidoptera; since among the enthusiastic members we have some national and international specialists; so that each day this group is building a collection of photo albums and documents of Lepidoptera that may be useful.
Over time, the group has tried to be dynamic, looking for learning alternatives for members and one of them is the National Moth Week, which this year is the second consecutive edition in which it participates with the event 'Semana Nacional de la Polilla-México', in which we try to instruct the members to know general aspects of the moths and their importance, through Facebook posts, illustrating them with photos and videos shared by the same members; besides uploading documents in the 'files' section of the group.
We hope to continue promoting observation, knowledge, dissemination and conservation of these enigmatic lepidoptera.
Remember, take your camera and look around, you might be surprised! look for in lamps of light, plants, garden trees, parks, forests, jungles or your own house! and let's see some moths, larvae, pupae or eggs … So, take pictures and share!

Telefónica buys equipment from Ericsson to replace Huawei gear
Spanish telecommunications operator Telefónica has acquired equipment from Swedish vendor Ericsson with the aim of replacing some gear previously deployed by Chinese vendor Huawei, local newspaper Expansion reported.
A source at the Spanish telco had confirmed the Expansion report.
The replacement of 5G mobile network equipment is part of Telefónica's strategy announced in 2019 to diversify suppliers, according to the source.
The report noted that Telefónica had initially rolled out some equipment manufactured by Huawei before seeking to secure alternative supplies for its 5G network.
The source at Spanish telco declined to say how much equipment Telefónica bought from Ericsson or when the purchase was made.
The government of the United States had been previously urging some of its key allies to remove and replace 5G kits developed by Chinese companies over security concerns.
The United States government has alleged that Huawei's gear could be used by the Chinese regime for espionage. Both Huawei and the Chinese government have repeatedly denied the allegations.
Telefónica previously said it expects to begin the deployment of 5G Standalone (SA) services during 2022.
The three initial use cases developed by Telefónica Tech and to be sold by the telco's enterprise division Telefónica Empresas from January 2022 are: Automated guided robot vehicles for use in places including warehouses; remote maintenance systems using technology including smart glasses; and drones for site surveillance.
The telco said that the automated guided vehicles for industrial use are connected through an IoT visualization and route planning platform, to manage communication with them in a bidirectional way, which facilitates performing repetitive tasks without human intervention. This use case, which is especially suitable for the industrial, logistics and transport sector, can work in both LTE and 5G environments.
The remote assistance service, optionally including augmented reality, allows equipment to be operated or repaired in real time, without the need to be physically at the location of the site where the incident is occurring, the carrier said. For this, the company added, a remote monitoring and assistance platform is used to which devices such as a smartphone, a tablet or smart glasses are connected, which simplify the work of technicians in the field.
Telefónica added the identified applications would be fully supported by its current Non-Standalone 5G technology and LTE. The three offerings are being sold either using its public mobile network or alongside a full private deployment.
In July 2021, Telefónica officially announced its decision to award the contracts to deploy its 5G standalone radio networks across Spain to Nordic vendors Ericsson and Nokia.
The deployment of Nokia and Ericsson 5G SA networks will be carried out on the 3.5 GHz and 700 MHz bands, Telefónica said.
Telefónica currently offers 5G coverage to over 80% of the Spanish population. During the first half of 2021, the deployment of 5G has focused on completing coverage in the cities deployed last year and reaching cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants.
All the provincial capitals and autonomous cities, 100% of the cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants and 98% of those with more than 20,000 inhabitants, as well as small towns in all the autonomous communities already have 5G, the Spanish telco said.
Telefónica's 5G network currently combines the deployment of 5G NSA and DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing).

Men's basketball drops final exhibiton
By Scout on November 14, 2008
Braves finish preseason with loss, fall in exhibiton game for first time.
The Braves' first-ever loss to a college opponent in an exhibition game came on Sunday as the men's basketball team fell to Wisconsin-Platteville.
The 84-79 upset was the final exhibition game for Bradley this year, sending the Braves into the regular season with work to do.
"This group has to get focused and rededicated to the defensive end," coach Jim Les said.
The Braves allowed the Pioneers to shoot 11-of-20 from beyond the arc and Wisconsin-Platteville made Bradley pay at the free-throw line.
The Pioneers connected on their first 20 free-throws, finishing 23-for-26 in the game.
Freshman Eddren McCain said the Braves couldn't catch any breaks.
"Every loose ball, everything that went on the floor, went their way," he said. "It seemed like they wanted it more."
While Wisconsin-Platteville is a Div. III team, it is nationally ranked, and returns its top-nine scorers from a year ago.
"That was a good basketball team and they played," Les said. "When we made mistakes they made us pay."
Senior David Collins led the Braves with 21 points, and was one rebound short of a double-double, with nine boards.
"David was a presence inside," Les said. "And that was even to the point where I thought we missed him a couple of times."
Collins said he thinks the team can learn from the loss.
"You can't take anybody lightly," he said. "If you do, you're going to get beat."
Senior Theron Wilson and freshman Taylor Brown were the other two players to score in double digits for Bradley.
Wilson started the game, finishing with 12, and Brown scored 10 points off the bench.
Junior Andrew Warren saw his first action of the year, shooting 0-for-3 in his 12 minutes off the bench.
The Braves were trailing by as many as 14 points with less than 10 minutes remaining.
An 11-2 run brought the game within reach for Bradley, but junior Mike Shaw of the Pioneers hit a 3-pointer putting the game out of reach.
"Whenever you go through a little bit of adversity, you find out a lot about yourselves and us as a team," Les said. "This group will respond, I'm quite sure of that."
Bradley will kick off the regular season today at 7:05 p.m. at Carver Arena when the Illinois-Chicago visits.
The game will be a "white-out," and all fans are encouraged to wear white to support the team.

Q: NavigationView empty rows in nested hierarchies I'm new to SwiftUI and am trying to implement some sort of file browser with hierarchical navigation using NavigationView and NavigationLink. Even though it is technically working, in each "deeper" level empty lines above the new entries appear. It looks like higher level entries keep their respective rows: they are not displayed in deeper levels but leave a blank row, forcing new entries to occupy lower rows.
For example (c.f. attached screenshots): Folders "A" and "B" are correctly displayed in row 1&2 (on root level); after selecting folder "A", however, the subfolder "C" and "D" appear in rows 3&4 while rows 1&2 are blank.

ContentView.swift
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView : View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            NavigationLink(destination: TreeView(item_id: 0, name: "Root")) {
                Text("Test")
            }
            .navigationBarTitle(Text("Select"))
        }
    }
}

TreeView.swift
import SwiftUI

struct TreeView : View {
    var item_id: Int
    var name: String

    var body: some View {
        List(databaseData) { item in
            if item.parent == self.item_id {
                NavigationLink(destination: TreeView(item_id: item.id, name: item.name)) {
                    Text(item.name)
                }
            }
        }
        .navigationBarTitle(Text(self.name))
    }
}

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

A: meanwhile I could figure it out: the problem appears to be that within the list closure an empty row is added whenever the if condition is false. I fixed it by filtering the array provided to list rather than filtering inside the list:
    var body: some View {
    List(databaseData.filter{$0.parent == self.item_id}) { item in
        NavigationLink(destination: TreeView(item_id: item.id, name: item.name)) {
            Text(item.name)
        }
    }

Works in Xcode 11 beta 4.

Does machine learning impact local SEO?
At this point, I don't really think so.
I think potentially as the machine learning content writing gets better, potentially maybe at some point, there's a way for enterprise level businesses that have 2,000 locations, and they need to write unique content that they could use machine learning to write some decent content for that.
But for right now, I just I don't think there's a whole lot that matters as far as local SEO goes.

High-flying pigeons land trio in court
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia — A Devon Meadows pigeon racer and breeder who was growing more than 200 cannabis plants says he only did it for the birds — all 1000 of them.
A court heard yesterday that David Wallace Burgess fed his birds hemp seeds because he had read about their nutritional qualities.
Burgess, 55, pleaded guilty in the County Court to one count of cultivating cannabis in a commercial quantity.
His crop was discovered in March last year after a police helicopter flew over a Worthing Road property in Devon Meadows, near Cranbourne, where Burgess then lived.
A search resulted in the seizure of more than 220 plants, which were growing outdoors near a shed, in a pigeon loft and inside the home.
Prosecutor Michael Tinney said the amount seized would equal 32 kilograms of dry, useable cannabis, or more than $500,000 worth on a per-ounce basis.
Mr Tinney said the prosecution did not accept that Burgess was growing the cannabis for his birds. He said no male plants were found, and female plants required pollination from male plants to produce seeds.
Defence counsel Rob Melasecca said there was no evidence to suggest his client was involved in trafficking cannabis.
He said Burgess, who owned between 800 and 1000 pigeons, had read about the use of hemp seeds as feed for the lucrative business of pigeons.
"Squadrons are like superannuation — whole squadrons of pigeons can be sold en masse for in excess of $100,000," Mr Melasecca said.
Burgess appeared yesterday with two co-accused, Glenda Joy Balcke, 53, and her son Trevor Richard Balcke, 29, both of Devon Meadows. The pair, who own the Worthing Road property, each pleaded guilty to one count of cultivating cannabis.
Philip Dunn, QC, representing the Balckes, said they were not involved in growing the plants, which they believed were for the birds.
The court was told Glenda Balcke, a clerical assistant, was a pigeon enthusiast who met Burgess through a pigeon racing club in Frankston. Her son, a manager, also counted pigeon racing as a hobby.
Mr Dunn said pigeon fanciers had "their own little quirks" and it was believed that hemp seeds gave them an edge in racing and breeding.
The plea hearing before Judge Elizabeth Curtain continues today.

Some women seem to have such an ease about becoming mothers. Susan is one of them.
She brought her first baby, her son Espen, into the world naturally, peacefully and filled with her own strength.
We were chatting recently via text about how life was with a new baby — how it was going.. etc..
You can see that kind of peace and ease in her face, even in the hardest moments just before Espen was born.
And it's not fair to talk only about mom.
Oscar was so concentrated, so attentive and loving throughout their process, I think he might have been a doula in a previous life.
Oh my gosh Emily these are awesome!

The Soapbox: How Pathfinder killed World of Warcraft for me
Tyler F.M. Edwards
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands launches today. I will not be playing. Once upon a time, a new WoW expansion would be a major event in my life, but this is the second expansion in a row I'm giving a pass to. There are many reasons for that, but perhaps the biggest is the Pathfinder system.
When I talk about leaving WoW, I usually talk about disliking the story direction of Battle for Azeroth and feeling like Legion was a good note to end on, and that's largely true. However, Shadowlands does look to be taking the story in an interesting new direction, and in another time, that could have won me back.
But every time I consider it, I think about having to do another Pathfinder grind, and my heart just sinks. The story is what drove me away, but Pathfinder is what keeps me from coming back.
For those who may not have played in the last few years, let me explain: The Pathfinder system was introduced in Warlords of Draenor as a limiter on flying mounts. Originally the plan had been to disallow flying in WoD and all expansions going forward, but after massive backlash, Pathfinder was implemented as a "compromise."
Flying mounts have existed most of WoW's history. They represent one of the primary offerings in the game's cash shop, and they have generally been treated as the premier prestige reward in World of Warcraft. People have spent months or years grinding for rare flying mounts, they've killed the hardest bosses in the game for them, and they've spent significant amounts of real world cash on them. And Blizzard tried to make them effectively useless in all relevant content going forward.
Meeting in the middle always sounds virtuous and reasonable, but Pathfinder is a great example of how a compromise isn't always fair if the original ask was completely outrageous. If someone demands he be allowed to store thousands of feral mice in your home, it's not a "good compromise" if you argue him down to just a few hundred feral mice plus a brioche plate you can split with him.
The exact mechanics of how Pathfinder works varies from expansion to expansion, but the short version is you can't fly in new content until you complete a meta-achievement that entails, at the least: Fully exploring every new zone, completing all new quest storylines, and several weeks of endgame reputation grinding. It's also generally not even possible to complete the meta until several months into an expansion.
It's an exhausting, tedious grind, and the worst thing about it is you don't even get something new and awesome out of it. You just get to go back to using a feature that has been a pillar of the game for the large majority of its lifespan.
Don't get me wrong: I do see the value in not being able to blitz through content immediately upon release with your 310% speed drake mount. I genuinely enjoy exploring the content from the ground first, which is why I support Wrath of the Lich King's take on the issue: You're grounded until you hit the level cap on your first character, flying on that character and alts going forward. If you really want to make sure people are fully exploring the content, gating flying behind the Loremaster achievement for completing all the quests wouldn't be unreasonable. Anything more than that is just grind for grind's sake, though.
I firmly believe Pathfinder only exists as a way to artificially extend the length of content so as to earn more subscription dollars. It's not as if Blizzard is above that sort of thing. Ever noticed how max-level quest chains these days always unlock one quest per week, and it always takes more than one month to unlock the whole story?
I choose to believe this because greed is quite frankly the more comforting interpretation. Pathfinder as a way to make more money is based on sound, if slimy, logic. If Blizzard actually believes this is good design… yikes.
There are arguments put forth to defend this decision, of course, one of the most common of which is that flying mounts remove the sense of danger from the open world. Putting aside the fact that WoW's open world content has never been dangerous, there are better ways to maintain a threatening world than arbitrarily gating flight. You could implement aerial mobs that attack you when you fly into dangerous areas, or anti-air cannons, or just let mobs shoot up.
These are all mechanics that already exist in various parts of the game world, by the way. Blizzard wouldn't even have to make anything new.
But really the best counter-argument against any criticism of flying is that you simply don't need to fly if you don't want to. Only a handful of zones in the game have ever required flying mounts to navigate, and the last ones were implemented in 2010. If you don't like it, just don't do it. You're not going to get kicked from your raiding guild because it took you seventy seconds longer to get to the next quest hub.
Therefore there is literally no downside to removing Pathfinder. No one loses, save perhaps Blizzard's shareholders, and then likely only to a negligible extent.
All of this has been said before, by many others in many venues. Pathfinder has been a source of deep controversy since its inception. I want to put forth one more argument against it, though — or more accurately an argument for flying — because it's a really important that often gets overlooked.
Flying is fun.
Yes, it's convenient, and it's a time-saver, and all that, but more than that it just feels good. I will never forget the sheer childlike glee I felt when I got my first flying mount and took to the skies over Hellfire Peninsula. Ever since, flying just for flying's sake has been a staple of my WoW experience. It's great for screenshots, and contrary to what some say, it does wonders to make the world feel bigger and more cohesive.
One of my absolute favorite memories of playing WoW was a day late in Cataclysm where I was bored and had pretty much run out of things to do, so I decided to fly all the way from the top of Kalimdor to the bottom. I flew to the very tip of the coast north of Winterspring, then flew south to the end of the Vir'naal Delta in Uldum.
Flying in a more or less straight line, with no stops save perhaps for the occasional pause to take a screenshot, it took me the better part of an hour. Nothing else before or since has quite impressed upon me the sheer scale of the game world, nor done so much to make it feel like a world, and not just a game.
Yes, you can ignore Pathfinder. You can play the game perfectly fine without flying, waddling around on the Nether Drake you spent a month grinding for like some kind of horrible purple penguin, but in so doing you miss out on one of the most special things about World of Warcraft. It's not about efficiency, or competitiveness, or optimization. It's not about what makes your character more powerful, or what you need to raid. It's about fun and feeling like a part of a virtual world.
So I don't want to play without flying, nor do I want to spend weeks doing an exhausting forced grind that doesn't exist for any logical reason beyond greed.
And that's why I'm not playing Shadowlands today. That's how Pathfinder killed World of Warcraft for me.

Couldn't agree more. Pathfinder was the beginning of very blatant time gates for me. Sure, there were always grinds in the game, but taking something worth so much agency, like flying or new races, and locking it behind repetitive daily chores over the course of six months was just too much.
I get that the company wants to keep players logging in every day, but this was the wrong way to do it. I'm the type of player that doesn't skip over content and loves to smell the roses, but on my own time, and not as part of some manipulative time-sink.
Maybe it'd be different if there was some agency in the types of things required, like farming or selling stuff on the AH, killing certain amounts of mobs; things I actually enjoy and would happily spend time doing if I was able to fly over the purposely horrid terrain, or as a new race.
I understand that some players like the sense of accomplishment, but to me it's more like playing with my hand tied behind my back. It's fine; there are plenty of great games to play. No reason to spend my time or money on cheap, lazy producers.
BodeanG
You're not alone. I'm not playing because of Pathfinder and some of the odd gating for allied races. Especially Kul Tirans. Pissed me off bad that I completed just about all the achievements to unlock to find I had to do a Heroic Mission. But I couldn't because I had missed the Heart of Azeroth quest.
That's when I realized I should have stayed away.
John Artemus
I was just going to mention FFXIV, my main game, but didn't want to because that always triggers everyone. Especially on Reddit. But since others have brought it up, FFXIV has the best way to unlock flying in an MMO, in my opinion. You truly do unlock flying through playing the game normally, i.e. through questing and exploration. And by the time you get to the end of the expansion and to max level, you've unlocked flying for all zones.
Chosenxeno .
If you played FFXIV at any point and you see how they manage flight you can pretty much tell this system is trash. Thank God I was long gone before this got in the game. I don't get it. All the work they spent keeping you out of the Air could have been put into giving you stuff to do or places to go in the Air.
It won't be the worst though. Why don't you all take a gander at what Ashes of Creation is planning to do with Flight:) At least a regular joe can get it in WoW.
You're literally just complaining cause blizzard aren't letting you get what you want immediately at release lol everything is gated, get over it.
Nah. It's a bad system. I haven't played WoW since MOP. When compared to FFXIV's way of obtaining flight it sounds terrible.
kjempff
Players like you are the reason mmos suck. Flying was a mistake, and finally a dev who wants to fix one of their bad mechanics (one of thousands but hey), and what do we get? Whining from instant the gratification crowd … Buhuh they want to take away trivializing of content (more than it already was), buhuh they want me to make an effort and have a feeling of accomplishment, I want it all and I want it now for zero effort or from the shop, and it must not take up any of my precious time, I think mmos are for me but I really don't like anything that makes mmos mmos, buhuh.
Not that I have cared one bit about WoW for many years.
Now get of my lawn!
Pathfinder is just a symptom of a much larger problem in WoW, but it's a pretty on-the-nose example of what's wrong with the game, in my opinion.
I, too, am skipping Shadowlands just like I also skipped BFA. My reasons were the Allied Race rep grind. Once I saw that officially announced back in Legion, I cancelled my sub. I went back briefly once they dropped the rep grind and to check out the pre-patch stuff, and I even unlocked the races I wanted and leveled a void elf to 50, but it wasn't enough to get me to renew my sub, or to buy the expansion.
Simply put, I don't like the direction of the game, and Pathfinder sums up that direction perfectly. Blizzard is all about the time-played metric. They make you jump through so many hoops and suffer through arbitrary gates just to artificially extend the amount of time it takes you to do stuff, which makes you stay logged in longer. That's the reason for Pathfinder, that was the reason for the Allied Race grind.
And it's the reason why some of the new features are punishing if you don't log in regularly.
And ultimately, it's the reason why I don't play WoW anymore.
Michael Agin
"Your mount does not respond you in the maw" made the opening even more epic. Limited travel has a place. That being said, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Flight is an integral part of the game at this point and it seems that the development of the games has shifted back towards making it reasonable to unlock flight in the newest expansion.
Bruno Brito
Normally i don't agree with Tyler, but i do here.
I'm also going to make a question to everyone who says Pathfinder allows WoW leveling to stay relevant:
Where in the endgame is leveling content relevant? Because WoW's leveling hasn't been relevant since Cata. The last time it was, was on Wrath because of Sons of Hodir rep with Storm Peaks chains.
WoW leveling is not relevant anymore, and this discussion is honestly moot. The game is developed for raid content.
And for the people talking about World PvP: The best hunter videos ever made were made in Wrath, Cata and MOP. Both Danaik and Return had their best videos in a time where flying was an all time high. Danaik literally killed people sub-level 80, and Return made use of flying as an asset to his hunting.
Anyone who wanted to find fights in Emerald Dream, or Tichondrius, could do so. The majority of players don't, they just wanna complain. Flying is part of the game since TBC, and it'll stay part of the game. This pathfinder crap is stupid, and highly disliked.
I haven't flown since Pandaria for this exact reason. Gating content behind reputation has always been the biggest turn off for me in WoW, and once they added flying to it i simply refused to dance to that tune. As a result, i've been driving on the ground on my drakes for 3 expansions like a chump, but at least i felt like i was in control of my own fun, as opposed to partaking in the grind for the grind's sake.
I hear that SL is going to remove this as a requirement. I agree with you that Loremaster (or something similar) should still be a requirement, but at least the ridiculous reputation content gating will not be a thing when it comes to flying.

Globalization 13
Globalization 13 Essay Example
Students' Appreciation of Arts and Intellectual Development
Climate change in the world could be attributed to the advances in industrialization in the world. The industries have emitted carbon dioxide over years until the ozone layer thinned away. The ozone layer served as the filter from the ultra violet rays from the sun as well as regulating atmospheric temperatures. The ever increasing levels of Carbon dioxide were as a result of coal mining, contaminated vehicle smokes and the smoke from burning coal. Previously, coal was considered the cheapest source of energy and was widely used. Australia has various coal deposits as its one of its natural resources (Ungar, 199 pg. 133).
Ungar, S 1999 'Is Strange Weather in the Air: A Study of US National News Coverage of Extreme Weather Events' , Climatic Change41(2): 133–50.
Global Climate Change (Part 1): Sustainable Life (Styles)
The award winning book by Tim Flanery, The Weather Makers clearly describes the impact of climate change on the daily human activities. It is evident that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulted in climate change in the universe. The alarming rates at which carbon dioxide discharges in the earth's globe contributed to the extinction of particular species due to destruction of their habitats. This is because the carbon dioxide contributes to global atmospheric temperature and climate change. He noted that the rising atmospheric temperatures had eventually altered the patterns of monsoon rains in the Sahel in Africa. The changes in the pattern of these rains consequently resulted desertification of the Sahel Region. The pastoralist in this region previously depended on the oases and other fertile areas of the Sahel. With the change in climate, the herders and pastoralists have to walk longer distances to find grass. Also, the farmers experience lower yields from the fields (Tim, 2005 pg.139)
On the other hand, Tim Flannery noted in his book that global climate change in Darfur indirectly resulted in conflicts among the communities. The conflicts are mainly due to competition for the already diminishing resources. The Darfur is inhabited by the Africans who do farming and the Arabs who are characterized as herders (Tim, 2005 pg. 365). The desperation to have adequate yields for the both communities contrary to the looming effects of the climate shift led to vicious social conflicts. Tim Flannery, in his book, The Weather Makers, contradicts the global perception that the conflicts in the Darfur region are related to politics and religion. In objection, he points out that food insecurity in the region is immense and has slowly generated conflicts among communities in Darfur (Tim, 2005 pg.154).

Global Climate Change (Part 2): Human Welfare Impacts
Different groups of people or communities face varying degrees of the impact of changes in global climate. This is vivid globally despite that the changes in the patterns of the earth's climate are universal. Heat waves in Europe marked the largest impact ever witnessed. The health systems in this continent were stretched beyond limit in the aim of coping with the incidence of heat related mortality and heat strokes. The heat waves in Europe in 2003 resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. During this heat wave crisis, France registered 15, 000 deaths (WHO, 2004). 70% of these deaths were attributed to those above 75 years old. Those who were most affected during this crisis were the poor, the elderly, children and infants.
Research by the United Nations has identified that individuals who are marginalized either politically, socially, culturally, and otherwise are greatly exposed to adverse effects of change in climate (Atalay, 2010 pg. 247). The United Nations reported that single parents in the upcountry, the field workers and slum dwellers are the vulnerable groups of these changes (Lloyd, 2005 pg.104). The reduction in the rainfall durations and the resultant indefinite weather patterns has major setbacks on the world at large. One such setback includes reduction of agricultural produce. The farmers are subjected to higher losses by the day due to unrewarding farming. Also, the resistance of existing farming pesticides and weeds and proliferation of new pests and weeds are attributed to lower farm output and higher market prices of food to the consumers. Consequently, malnutrition prevails in the society longer affecting more communities globally (Ungar, 1999 pg. 139).
Economic Dimension (Part 1): Global Financial Crisis (GFC)
As discussed earlier, the heat waves in Europe resulted in overstretching health systems so as to accommodate the high rates of heat shock incidences. The heat wave recorded US $13 billion worth of economic losses. The changes in the natural environment have direct impact on the economy of a particular state. The economic status consequently determines the cost of living and the cost of services and goods in the society. The climate changes result in evolution of previously manageable health problems and the costs of treating patients of these particular health issues (Edwards, 2007 pg. 345).
International trade takes credit for the growing national economies in comparison to the preceding nineteenth century. Rapid growth of trade and trade relations such as the G-7 promote the reductions of export trade taxes, regulations and tariffs. Globalization relies on the advances in technologies which greatly assist in advertising and transfer of reliable information in time. The rate of consumption of products of globalization increases with increasing national and international policies to ensure sustainability of globalization (Skinner, 1999 pg. 605).
Globalization of economies diffused political powers of some countries while empowering others. Regional economic forums amongst countries contribute largely to this effect. Secondly, the global political relations guided by economic powers tend to diminish the states with minor contributions. Also, the restructuring of the economy in various states correspond to financial crisis and reduced budgetary allocations that consequently impact on the public sector (Hamilton, 2007 pg. 120).

Economic Dimension (Part 2): Local Impacts on Human Welfare
In the 1990s, at the peak of income inequalities, the Labor Government created social security by assuring the public of its strict adherence to every effort in preventing global development from infiltrating its worst effects into the Australian state. As the economic status of individuals multiplies, so does poverty become global and wide spread among individuals? Industrialization raised hopes for more employment before it was embraced. On the contrary, economic globalization resulted in competition among industrial workers against the decreasing job markets (Stigliz, 1998 pg. 19)
Globalization leads to increased immigration which in turn results to eroded national identity of Australia (Edwards, 2007 pg. 120). Immigration in Australia also resulted in rapid increase in economic significance attributed to temporary movements by immigrants with professional skills. The Australian government noted that most of the immigrants were individuals with adequate skills seeking employment (Skinner, 1999 pg. 605).
The rising levels of unemployment in Australia stems from the idea that industries from here tend to seek cheaper labor from the neighboring Asian countries. In addition, the technological developments tend to limit the availability of employment. Previous research showed people with computer education tend to earn higher wages as compared to others. This has resulted in competition and individualism in the Australian society. The desperation to be better than others results from the economic aspects of globalization (Water, 1995).

Social Dimension (Part 1): Global Trends
Social insecurity also described as ontological insecurity occurs individual, community or national levels (Hollway, 1997, pg. 255). The cause of these social risks includes changes in political structure and economical structures as a result of globalization. The degrees at which they occur have great impact on structures of governance in national or global scenarios. According to the Human Development Report of 1994, prevailing human security is centered on the individual citizens. This refers to the freewill for mobility, social and market opportunities. Sometimes, globalization causes violent conflicts which are attributed to efforts for addressing anxiety due to economic existential (Ungar, 1999 pg. 445).
A risk society enables the scrutiny of newer technologies along scientific and public aspects. On the other hand, social anxiety includes issues of social attention towards nuclear, medical, biological and environmental issues. The common forms of society anxieties include the discovery of the ozone in 1986, the rise of breast implants and the discovery of various reproductive technologies. Risks of industrialization are unavoidable and modernization produces side effects which are subjected to a lot of scrutiny.it had been observed that science and technology have the potential to bring about economic gains as well as the production and distribution of what may be considered unsafe (Hollway, 1997 pg. 257).
Due to globalization and social heterogeneity increases along with other social anxiety and risk society aspects. Previously, societies were identified with homogeneous aspects; however, this has changed due to globalization which encourages heterogeneity and identity along religion, language and ethnicity basis. Therefore coercion in the society and national integration weaken upon group empowerment (Jefferson, 1997 pg. 258).
Hollway, W. and Jefferson, T. 1997 'The Risk Society in an Age of Anxiety: Situating Fear of Crime', British Journal of Sociology 48(2): 255–65.
Social Dimension (Part 2): Australian Trends
The agreements that arise due to globalization such as globalization treaties, trade agreement and other political aspects are instrumental in the drifting of governments from the domestic affairs to the international affairs. The World Trade organization scrutinizes the policies of its member governments prompting them to shift away from domestic focus. Consequently, a democratic deficit arises when the state governments concentrate more on the international community (Hamilton, 2007 pg. 125).
The effect of globalization on the human services are majorly due to the fact that Australia relies on foreign capital and trade for development and to ensure services for the small population. Commonwealth member states like Australia are do not need parliament confirmation to sign treaties however, Australia ensures that the treaties it into should be in line with its domestic mandate. For this purpose, the Australian government gets the higher stake in determining governance in it state (Hamilton, 2007 pg. 243).
The rising cases of individualism in the society serve only to increase social insecurity. With higher levels of individualism, society homogeneity depreciates as identification by group factors such as ethnicity and social class thrive. It has been observed in other countries that differences in ideals, culture and religion have great impact in the civil wars in other countries. Also, due to economic inequality the unfair distribution of economic resources contributes to rising economic injustices. As a result the wide gap between the rich and the poor widens further due to lack of oneness (Stiglitz, 1998 pg. 154).

Cultural Dimension (part 2): Australian Trends
One of the many states that promote multiculturalism in the world is Australia. In order to address need and rights of the numerous immigrants in Australia, multiculturalism defined the growing ethno cultural diversities represented in the state. Australian Law Reform Commission noted that disparate standards in the professional practice enhance uniformity. Policies around multiculturalism were drafted in order to promote assimilation, social justice, integration, nation building and social cohesion (Beck, 1995 pg. 83).
One of the vital aspects for race and cultural associations in every country is the association and treatment of the native people. The Australian human rights commission (AHRC) with guidance from the Bill of Rights addresses the rights of both the indigenous and immigrant communities in the aim of promoting multiculturalism. Al Grassby, a minister for Immigration gave a speech in the year 1973 entitled a Multi-Cultural Society for the Future which was majorly about settlement and welfare of the immigrants and the social cultural policies of Australia. This marked the initiation of multiculturalism in Australia. The Australian plays a vital role since time immemorial to ensure social integration amongst its citizens (Hamilton, 2007 pg.246)
Globally, human rights have been ineptly addressed. The rise of communication channels that transfer information over long distances and the increasing power of the media have resulted in better and more vocal demand for human rights for the minority and immigrants in every country. Also, education and awareness of legal rights promotes integration and appropriate treatment and relations (Flannery, 2005 pg. 245).

Political Dimension (Part 1): Global Trends
Economic globalization enhances privatization of amenities that were previously public. In addition it diminishes the role of government on the affairs of the economy of the country and its citizens as well. The disillusionment in the world over the unreliability of the government to measure up to their mandate is global. Furthermore, government budgetary allocation for minimum health care and basic education for several countries fail to supply enough resources for its citizens. The advances in technology and booming of economies also result in more poverty, violation of human rights and social disparities (Ungar, 1995 pg.135).
Globalization created a scenario where the role of the government becomes irrelevant. This is because he international trades flourish without levies or interference with the government. Investment, individual consumers and information technology have the middleman function in the countries where the role of government in trade is unfelt. The most affected participants of globalization are developing countries. They constantly promote the capitalist frontier so as to regain their control of the market which they lost. The United Nations which constantly creates avenues for restoration of human rights could serve to ensure adequate provision of human service (Flannery, 2005 pg.350).
Giddens, A. and Lash, S. 1994 Reflexive Modernization: Politics, Tradition and Aesthetics in the Modern Social Order, Cambridge: Polity Press
Political Dimension (Part 2): Australian Trends
The Australian government itself faces numerous challenges of globalization in having to integrate its policies with those of the international economic cycle. The impact of this integration on the economic policies of Australia resulted in inflation, external stability, economic growth and microeconomic reforms. The contribution of the government in the economy and the civil society serves to promote security from issues like international terrorism that arise from globalization (Ritze, 2010 pg. 220).
The Australian government involves the civil society in its many policies that regard globalization through credible organizations like non-governmental organizations. The informal and formal networks of these NGOs come in handy. Not only should the government and the politicians make policies for its citizens but it should actively involve them in the process of the Australian treaty making (Atalay, 2005 pg. 245)

Your first look at the dashboard of tomorrow
TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., a global leader in active and passive safety, has just revealed their design for a conceptual folding steering wheel that retracts into the dash, making driver and passenger egress and ingress much easier. Featuring two retractable handles that close fully, the steering wheel then folds away into the dashboard.
"The automotive industry is being influenced by some key factors such as a more active older population and the growth of mega cities," said Manuel Poyant, development manager for Steering Wheel Systems and Driver Airbags. "As a result, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers need to find innovative solutions to improve driver accessibility and interior styling for smaller cars – A and B platform as well as electric cars. The foldable steering wheel concept is a prime example of technology that allows easier access for elderly people and those faced with mobility challenges."
The futuristic design of the retractable steering wheel was developed following an internal study for future steering wheel requirements. The retractable steering wheel significantly improves driver comfort and accessibility. When the vehicle is started, the steering wheel extends into driving position and can be programmed, then saved by the driver to their preference.
"This technology could offer tangible, practical benefits in addition to the styling freedom it provides," Poyant added. "Due to the significant growth of small city cars, this technology could open up the possibility for even smaller cabin designs. Our customers have shown interest in the concept and the introduction of this technology could be possible within the next 5 years."
