Hello everybody. I just mapping in Peru for add jungle and river via Bing satelite. This to monitor some weather event Also, this help to the citizens for disaster prevention.
Thank you for considering the note.  http://unasolafuerza.pe/
P.S.: Sorry for mapping in Brasil, too.
Hi all, my name is Pete Masters and I am the outgoing Missing Maps coordinator at MSF UK (I change jobs in a few weeks).
I would like to be considered as a HOT board member because I have a lot of respect and admiration for what HOT does in the humanitarian sphere and I think my skills, experience and networks can be of value to HOT on a strategic level. For me, it represents a chance to contribute to a community that I have come to be very proud of in a different way. This would be my first board position and I am eager to prove to myself and to the community that I can operate at this level and help to take HOT forward.
In my eyes, the future of HOT is very interesting. On the one hand, local communities are growing strong in places where previously HOT would have been only mapping remotely. The size and diversity of the community behind the first State of the Map Africa this year is testament to this growth. On the other hand, NGOs, large and small, are coming to rely more and more on OSM data and HOT through activations, and initiatives like Missing Maps. These are serious organisations with short timelines and specific needs. In my opinion, HOT must continue to walk the line between these two vital elements; the bottom-up, grassroots communities and the top-down, humanitarian actors. I do not have the answers to how HOT does this, but I believe I have some good ideas.
The most important in my eyes, and the one I would like to discuss here, is credibility, and this works both ways.
For the NGOs, HOT's activations, both emergency and long term must be impact-focused and appropriate. This means providing data that meets the needs of the situation in a timely fashion. We will need to better able to understand and translate operational needs, prioritise mapping, mobilise resources and motivate current and new community members and mappers effectively. I think my experience with MSF can help HOT to do this. Over the past two and a half years, being the bridge between an extremely operationally-focused NGO and a volunteer community has been my job and translating what an epidemiologist or a logistician or an emergency team needs into mapping projects has been my day-to-day. Through this, I have learnt the importance of understanding of where limitations of humanitarian mapping lie and how expectations need to be managed.
On the other side, I believe HOT needs to stay true to its roots and HOT's roots are in community. The community members and the mappers should be an integral part of what HOT is. This means supporting people to be more proactive in their engagement with the mapping, but also with the decision making. At the heart of this should be information flow. Too often I feel that a lot is asked of the community without them necessarily being offered much in return. For me, the best Missing Maps collaborations have happened where MSF has been able to externalise a problem it faces, volunteers have felt empowered to add value to the medical care being delivered in the field, and where that value has been reported back quickly. I feel I have been able to instill this successfully in the culture of Missing Maps (although improvement is always possible) and would look forward to putting this experience and my background in communications and community building at the disposal of HOT to help try and make this happen at a broader level.
To be honest, whether as a board member or not, I look forward to a long relationship to HOT. I love being a part of this community and love the conversations (easy and hard) that come with it.
I apologise for the brevity and lateness of this post. I have been on the road with MSF for a few weeks now and have only just found the time.... In the interests of transparency, it is important to note that my new job will also be with MSF (as Medical Innovation Advisor).
(If any of the following does not make sense, then read Part #1 first)
It's raining heavily this morning so no field survey (it kills the smartphone), but some most valuable desk-surveys using NLS - OS 1:25k 1st Series 1937-61 imagery within JOSM + a phone-call (+44 (0) 800 783 4444) to Severn Trent Water.
The culvert from Mapperley Golf Course was (badly) mapped using one of the NLS maps — probably NLS - Bartholomew Half Inch, 1897-1907, which is very low resolution and, in any case, few of them help much in accurate mapping. I'm going to trim the line of the culvert from Mapperley Golf a little to match the higher-res NLS maps; one of the reasons for this is that this brings the line of the culvert not only into line with the stream on those maps (one of the points where the earlier mapping went bad) but also with the point where that stream crosses Arnold Lane. At the moment the culvert passes straight through some houses on both The Fairway and High Hazles Close (not very likely) then across Arnold Lane north of the Village boundary. It is far more likely to have followed the original line of the stream, which would also have been Gedling Village boundary at that point. That would have taken it under the line of The Fairway (a private road) and across the bottom of the High Hazles Close’ gardens (that is almost due East-West, with the gardens to the north & a playing field to the south, a line of hedges in between. The old stream/OSM culvert then pops out close to the signpost on Arnold Lane that says “Gedling Village”, which also the lowest point of Arnold Lane on that section of road and thus where you would expect a stream to flow:–
The conversation with STW concentrated on culverts and was considerably complicated by my need to give him X-Y references drawn from the Adopted Highways register map and to keep cross-referencing to my marker points within JOSM. However, I was able to establish that yes, an (almost) East-West culvert joins with the southern man-hole cover and then runs south to the bridge. I've also established the precise location of where the northern spur meets the surface-drain. Most excellent! Final mapping on this section will have to wait for a final survey to establish some GPS tracks for the current drain/Ouse Dyke to the north (hopefully tomorrow).
One feature that I find so very interesting in all this is the way that modern culverts (as just one instance) follow ancient streams. I guess that it is simply engineers taking the line of least resistance (as, indeed, did the stream before them). In this particular case, the meeting point for the two streams in the maps is almost exactly on top of the southern manhole, which makes life very simple.
To try to help keep some eyes on the page, here is a couple of photos showing the bridge for Ouse Dyke across Jessops Lane (originally called “Hanging Lane”, the old road made a dog-leg at this point, although the modern road is straight) and then the stream (plus duck) on the other side as it makes it's way into Willow Park, and finally at the opposite end of Willow Park before it becomes culverted again:–
Looks like a small bridge for pedestrians to cross a drain - that's what I perceived from Bing imagery. Nope! It's an advert sign for an automobile shop.
with the roads they only have one speed. Alot of roads in Australia have different speeds on both sides of the road. Is it possible to have a speed for the left side and right side of the road

Maproulette challenges have become fairly popular recently, especially due to Jochen's Area fixing project. But it seems this has gotten out of hand now and creates serious damage to the OpenStreetMap project.
In general this kind of tool is prone to inviting mechanical work. But with the recent Island and Shoreline Alignment challenge this really gets over the top. I first saw this when various edits turned up in remote areas of the world by various mappers in very high frequency editing islands in changing locations far apart within minutes, often without factual basis and often factually incorrect.
This challenge does everything wrong that can be done wrong with a fixing effort:
- there are no useful instructions to the mapper what to do and what problems to consider. It only says: ''Align the highlighted island to match imagery''.
- there is no documentation who created this task and how the allegedly misaligned islands are detected.
- and most importantly: the task covers areas where the global images routinely available offer no basis for improving the existing data.
Task: Align the highlighted island to match imagery (link)
Especially the last point is a big practical issue now since the edits made through this challenge misalign and worsen a lot of data in OSM. I commented on two most obvious cases where Bing offers no image at all but mappers none the less blindly followed the task to Align the highlighted island to match none-existing imagery with obvious results. But even in areas where Bing offers low resolution images these hardly ever allow improving existing data. These images in Bing are mostly from >15 years old L1G Landsat 7 images which have positional errors of sometimes more than 100m and rarely allow substantially improving existing mapping. In most cases attempts to do so made within the challenge worsen data which has often been mapped from either better data or with better alignment of the images.
With edits like this the island in question is not necessarily less accurate than before - the mapping before was done based on - if at all - only slightly better aligned images. But it is no improvement since it is likely not more accurate than before in absolute terms and is definitely less accurate relative to the surrounding features.
Yes, these images show a lot of potential to improve mapping here
The least that needs to be done here is
- stop the challenge as it is now
- limit it to areas where high resolution images are available in common sources
- create clear instructions for the mapper advising them to properly check image alignment and find the best quality sources in the area and check if existing mapping might already be of better quality based on other sources. This is not possible to do within a few minutes if you pick random locations all around the world of course.
Of course not all edits made within these challenges even in areas where Bing is poor are bad, there are also some experienced mappers participating here who know how to properly assess and select images.
If whoever created this challenge seriously wants to improve mapping in remote areas the most basic, most productive and most obvious way would be to provide better quality images.
And in general i think we need to put a review regime on organized mapping efforts like maproulette challenges requiring at least basic documentation of the process used to generate the task and ensuring there are proper instructions for the mappers and no nonsense tasks on a larger scale. A lot of thoughtful tasks have been offered in maproulette in the past but apparently this is not something that can be relied upon to be ensured without a QA process for the QA process...
ramyaragupathy asked me recently how well I thought Seattle was mapped. One of the areas was very broad, POI's which makes answering the question very difficult. Thinking about the question lead to what outside data source could we compare to OSM to get a sense of completeness.
I stumbled across the King County Health Department Restaurant Inspections. Every restaurant inspection, going back many years, is available in the counties open data repository.
The data needed some massaging, food inspectors seem to think that they shouldn't limit themselves to just restaurants but any business that serves food, including schools, company cafeterias, the fried chicken (ugh) found in mini marts and food trucks. After removing businesses that didn't match amenity=fast_food or restaurant or cafe it appears that OSM has 1,714 food service businesses vs. 3,680 inspected by the county or 47%, slightly less than half.
The actual results are most likely somewhere near 47% but OSM many have some closed businesses and the county's list may be over stated (I may have keep businesses that should have been excluded.)
That brings up the question - what to do with all of the county's data. It's definitely not something I'd like to see imported, but it would be nice to see better coverage. What are your recommendations?
Here is the latest from the MapRoulette world! If you want to get this newsletter in your mailbox, you can sign up here!
MapRoulette was featured in the JOSM message of the day!
MapRoulette has seen a lot of activity in the past month! A total of 407 mappers have logged on and fixed more than 32000 tasks. That is really cool.
New and notable challenges
Also, lots of new challenges! 539 to be precise created in the last month. I know that challenges can still be hard to discover (working on that, I would welcome ideas and help there!) so I want to just manually highlight some challenges that look interesting. If you want your challenge highlighted in this newsletter, please write to firstname.lastname@example.org!
- Clean up AND import (Netherlands) -- help clean up additional tags on nodes that were added as part of the AND import.
- Add Wikipedia / Wikidata tags in India -- A couple of challenges where you can help add Wikidata tagging to districts and railway stations in India
The latest from Github
- In the newest version of MapRoulette, we re-introduced keyboard shortcuts. There is discussion around which keys to use. What do you think?
- There are new labels
needs-discussionso you can easily see where your opinion is most wanted.
- If you want to contribute to MapRoulette, why not look at the tickets labeled
How to: Task Instructions
Perhaps you have seen that the task instructions do not always fit in the panel.
That is annoying because it can be unclear what you should do. Usually this is caused by hyperlinks that are too long and can't be broken up. If you are a Challenge creator, you can avoid this by using markdown to wrap the hyperlink. Instead of using the raw link in your instruction (
https://long-long-url.org), use this:

Help Wanted: Challenge Administrators
With so many new challenges coming in, it would be great if a few of you would volunteer to help with Challenge maintenance. That means looking at new Challenges that users create to see if they make sense, and helping the Challenge creators to improve them if needed. If you are interested in helping with this, email email@example.com!
That's it for this month. Please write in if you have suggestions for this newsletter. Happy mapping!
Oh yes! History is full of the names of famous Explorers, searching for the source…
- 1804 Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark (source of the Missouri River & also the astonishing Lewis and Clark Expedition)
- 1856 Captain Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke (source of the Nile)
- 1866 David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley (source of the Nile)
…and so, in honour of these & other, similar noble exploits, on Sunday 26 March 2017 your mapper selflessly set forth into the wildlands of the heights of Gedling Country Park to discover the source of …, erm, Ouse Dyke (I do wish that they could have given it a bit of a more romantic name) and …, erm, got my Clarks muddy. So yes, no trouble nor expense shared to nobly & selflessly bring the wonders of Gedling slag heap to your door.
A short length of Ouse Dyke was marked up in those heights on the Nottingham City Adopted Highways Register, and I'd noticed obvious signs of a bridge across Lambley Lane that should contain Ouse Dyke (although now culverted), plus manhole covers for a culvert North-South across Lambley Lane Recreation Ground, so I was confident of a result.
Here are some highlights of that mapping session, using my new-new smartphone for the first time:–
A northern basin (mapping), fed by culverts & natural drainage from the surrounding hills. As best as I can tell, this is NOT a source for Ouse Dyke, although goodness knows what Severn Trent does if the rainfall is too large:–
As you can tell by the lack of fencing, Gedling Council is rather Spartan towards it's children rather than treating them as soft Athenians. That also shows in the way that it only warns you of the drop as you are about to fall, and the lack of a lifebuoy in the Lifebuoy holder.
Having become an expert on Flood Lagoons, these two look like Retention lagoons, in that there are zero pumping mechanisms in sight. I assume that any excess will have to drain to the west into the trees (to the North, East & South are high-parts formed from spoil dumped from the now-closed Gedling Colliery). Some of the efforts to safely drain & re-green the slag-heap show in the next few pictures, each taken from further to the south & east:–
At the time I thought that I had hit Ouse Dyke pay-dirt but, seeing the pictures in the context of the map, it was clear that these all drained into the Southern Basin, so maybe not.
The amount of efforts taken here by Severn Trent are extreme, and it was viscerally clear to me that Water Engineers such as those employed by ST have taken on-board the horrible lessons of Aberfan from 1966 (a coal slag-heap in Wales, built upon a stream, which washed an avalanche of muck down the hill and into Pantglas Junior School directly below it, killing 116 children and 28 adults).
The following stream seems most likely to directly be the modern source of Ouse Dyke (I have put it on the map but it is hidden by trees & needs proper tracking). It is south & below the southern Basin and is heading south-east. It is a handful of metres north-east of the Information Map (mapping), which itself is a few metres north of where the abandoned mineral railway, older hiking track and proposed Gedling Access Road all pass:–
Addendum 1: I've changed the mapping from waterway=stream to waterway=ditch, as we are dealing with an artificial drain created by Severn Trent rather than a natural stream leaping merrily from rock to rock.
Addendum 2: the following note has been added to the
2017-Mar: Google Earth shows one (sometimes two) rail-tracks on the land; they must have added them afterwards, as none exist.
It is perfectly reasonable to say that a culvert passes between them and, seeing as continuing the line of that culvert towards town that there is a bridge that crosses Lambley Lane (below), I also believe that it is perfectly reasonable to assume that the culvert passes through that bridge across to the other side (although today the ground shows dry, the bridge is at the lowest part of that section of Lambley Lane and therefore the most natural place for a stream to flow out of the higher ground to the north):–
Further mapping on the continuing line of that culvert, plus it's appearance as a stream, will have to wait until I actually map that area (coming soon). However, there is a final oddity within the Recreation Ground…
The photo below was taken on November 27, 2016 and is of a stream that rises within what is now Mapperley Golf Course and exits into a culvert operated by Severn Trent Water at the southern-most point of the Course:–
That culvert was originally found within a NPE map & transferred onto OSM many years ago. After someone raised doubts about it, I spent all the months between November & now trying to find someone to speak about it, but no-one answered my knocks on their door. It finished on NPE within the Recreation Area, close to the southern Manhole cover. I think that it merges with that culvert (but have not moved it).
The final item is to make note of my re-mapping of a
"historic:waterway"="stream" which is mapped but never shows (due to missing tags). Originally it met with & combined with the NPE culvert, and it looks like it is supposed to come from the drain further to the north. I've:
- disconnected it from the NPE Culvert
- connected it with the northern man-hole instead
- have given it
culverttags instead of
(there isn't a stream that wanders across all the football pitches)
And that is the end of the search for the source of Ouse Dyke. It seems very much like it is a combo of a stream coming down from (what is now) Gedling Country Park and a small stream that originates within (what is now) Mapperley Golf Course.

El objetivo de este instructivo es explicar de la manera más simple la forma correcta de añadir radares fijos (de velocidad o de semáforo) en OSM.
Importante: Antes de empezar debemos estar 100% seguros de que el radar que vamos a agregar realmente existe. Para eso podemos verificarlo personalmente en el lugar o mediante fotografías a nivel calle compatibles con la licencia de OSM como Mapillary u OpenStreetCam. No debemos usar Google StreetView para mapear en OSM porque su licencia y términos de uso lo impide.
A grandes rasgos, sin importar el editor que usemos, deberemos:
Crear un nodo con la etiqueta highway=speed_camera donde realmente se encuentra ubicado el radar, por ejemplo al costado de la vía (usamos vía como término genérico de camino, calle, avenida, ruta, autovía, autopista, etc.)
Posicionar los nodos de la vía que marcan el comienzo y final de la sección que cubre la cámara.
Crear una relación del tipo enforcement para definir el tipo de radar (de velocidad o semáforo), la velocidad máxima permitida y relacionar el nodo de la cámara con el rol "device" (dispositivo) y los nodos de la vía con los roles "from" (desde) y "to" (hasta).
Nota: Si tenés dudas sobre que es un nodo y etiquetas, te recomiendo que antes de seguir leas la documentación para principiantes de LearnOSM.
Cómo añadir un radar con JOSM, paso a paso
Abrir el editor JOSM (Descargar de https://josm.openstreetmap.de/) y asegurarse de tener instalado el complemento "reltoolbox" desde Editar > Preferencias > Complementos. En caso de no tener el complemento instalado, hay que tildarlo y hacer clic en Aceptar.
Ir a Archivo > Descargar datos desde OSM, seleccionar el área donde se encuentra el radar y hacer clic en el botón Descargar.
Crear un nodo donde realmente se encuentra la cámara y etiquetarlo con la clave highway y el valor speed_camera. Para eso hay que usar la herramienta para dibujar nodos y hacer clic en el botón "Añadir" del panel de etiquetas.
Definir una relación para establecer los detalles del radar. Para eso debemos seleccionar el nodo del radar que creamos en el punto anterior y hacer clic en el botón "Nuevo" de la Caja de herramienta de relaciones (Si no ves ese panel podés activarlo desde Ventana > Caja de herramienta de relaciones).
Elegir el tipo de relación "enforcement".
Con la nueva relación seleccionada, hacer clic en el botón del lápiz para abrir el editor de relaciones.
Al tipo de relación que definimos en el punto 5 (type=enforcement) le agregaremos las siguientes etiquetas con el botón de nueva etiqueta [+] para describir el radar:
- enforcement=maxspeed para indicar que se trata de una cámara de velocidad. Para cámaras de semáforo usar enforcement=traffic_signals.
- maxspeed=80 para indicar la velocidad máxima permitida en ese punto es 80 km/h.
Completar los miembros de la relación para indicar el sentido de circulación que vigila el radar.
- Al nodo del radar le asignamos la función "device" escribiendo a mano ese valor.
- Seleccionamos en el mapa (o lo creamos si no existe) el nodo de la vía desde donde se comenzará a alertar sobre el radar (nodo de entrada) y tocamos el botón "Añadir antes del primer miembro". A continuación le asignamos la función "from".
- Seleccionamos en el mapa (o lo creamos si no existe) el nodo de la vía hasta donde vigila el radar (nodo de salida) y tocamos el botón "Añadir detrás del último miembro". A continuación le asignamos la función "to".
Hacer clic en el botón "Aceptar" para finalizar.
Subir los cambios a OSM. Para eso ir a Archivo > Subir datos. Recordá describir el cambio realizado, por ejemplo "Agrego radar fijo velocidad max 80 sobre Avenida General Paz."
Cómo añadir un radar con iD, paso a paso
Entrar a www.openstreetmap.org, posicionar el mapa donde se encuentra el radar y hacer clic en el botón Editar.
Crear un punto (nodo) donde realmente se encuentra la cámara, elegir el tipo "Punto" y en la sección "Todas las etiquetas" escribir la clave highway y el valor speed_camera como se ve en la imagen a continuación.
Crear una nueva relación para establecer los detalles del radar. Para eso, con el punto seleccionado, bajar el panel lateral hasta que se vea la sección "Todas las relaciones" y hacer clic en el botón [+], seleccionar del menú desplegable la primer opción "Nueva relación..." y a continuación seleccionar el botón "Relación".
Completar los detalles de la relación de la siguiente manera:
- Escribir el nombre de la relación (por ejemplo, "radar")
- Elegir el tipo "enforcement"
En la sección "Todas las etiquetas" agregar las siguientes:
- enforcement=maxspeed para indicar que se trata de una cámara de velocidad. Para cámaras de semáforo usar enforcement=traffic_signals.
- maxspeed=70 para indicar la velocidad máxima permitida en ese punto es 70 km/h.
En la sección "Todos los miembros" definir el rol "device" escribiendo a mano ese valor.
Seleccionar en el mapa (o lo creamos si no existe) el nodo de la vía desde donde se comenzará a alertar sobre el radar (nodo de entrada), elegir el tipo de elemento "Otro" y hacer clic en el botón [+] de la sección "Todas las relaciones". Elegir la relación que creamos en el punto 4 y asignar (escribir) el rol "from".
Seleccionar en el mapa (o lo creamos si no existe) el nodo de la vía hasta donde vigila el radar (nodo de entrada), elegir el tipo de elemento "Otro" y hacer clic en el botón [+] de la sección "Todas las relaciones". Elegir la relación que creamos en el punto 4 y asignar (escribir) el rol "to".
Finalmente hacer clic en el botón "Guardar" para subir los cambios a OSM. Recordá describir el cambio realizado, por ejemplo "Agrego radar fijo velocidad max 70 sobre Avenida 27 de Febrero."

My current mapping is on the eastern edge of Gedling. Gedling prides itself as a village, with an Anglican church that was established in 678 A.D. (the current church is a youngster at 1089 A.D.). Today, someone that lives in a bungalow at Field Close at the rear of the church was proudly pointing out to me the Peregrines that lodge in the niches of the spire. The tower is 90 feet high (27.4m) and the spire is yet another 90 feet, so that gives those dive-bombers an unrivalled perch for launching their attacks.
In spite of it's history, Gedling is now more or less just another suburb of Nottingham. It does, however, skirt the countryside and I'm mapping on the edge of that country, so here are some views.
Want any Horse Sh.., er, Manure?
Glebe Farm is an abandoned stables just outside of the residential spread that has crept up Lambley Lane. It has suffered decades of blight due to development, the latest of which (“Gedling Access Road”, or “GAR”) looks like it may go ahead. There were some horses in the East fields, a Detectorist scanning the West fields, and below is Milo the dog, an energetic bull terrier that belongs to the lady that looks after the horses. Milo leapt up at me & introduced my buff-coloured trousers to the farm speciality (there are twin piles of the stuff in abundance near the gate if your garden needs any).
Evidence of Strip Farming in Glebe Farm West Fields
A chap in Jessop Lane (the road formerly called “Hanging Lane”, since those due to be legally despatched were marched up that lane to the gallows up on top of the hill) pointed out that Glebe Farm’s West fields still show signs of the way that they were used hundreds of years ago as common-land strip-field farming. That evidence is all due to be lost under tarmac if the proposed developments go ahead (it all looks full-steam at the moment), but can currently still be seen in either Google Earth or Bing (the Bing-tile below has a capture date of 2011/10/1-2012/3/26; the construction at bottom right is a Western Power sub-station):
The Road Less Well Travelled
The next sight may not seem much, and indeed was shot only so that the embedded GPS in the photo could locate the position of the 30/40 mph signs, but it is, for me, also a classic view of English country-roads:–
Doggedly Well Ensconced
This next view of an English country house is also a side-product of the GAR & development, as the couple of acres of grass & trees between this house & Lambley Lane is now owned by the local Council & no building takes place until the future reveals itself:–
As a part of our data transparency efforts at Mapbox. We created osm-edit-report which helps anyone visualize our teams contribution to OSM.
Just to give a measure, the data team added 0.3 Million objects, 0.2 Million tags, and 3 thousand changesets last week.
This is how the numbers look:
Since this data is so huge to grasp at one go, we also have filters which help trim down data and focus on a particular group.
- Filter by users.
- Filter by tags
- Filter by BBox
The user table showcases all edits made by each user over the course of a week. The saturated blue boxes help emphasize huge edits and the chevrons compare today's edits with the weekly average.
Overall this tool helps us benchmark our mapping efforts and visualize out priority areas. Please don't forget to share your views on how to make our mapping efforts more transparent.
Desde el año 2011 se viene trabajando incansablemente en la implementación de una especialidad scout que permita a los jóvenes Scout estar siempre listos para utilizar herramientas útiles en casos de emergencia y que puede compartir sus datos, conocimientos para apoyar a los equipos de reacción en situaciones de crisis con información geográfica de la zona que lo necesite de manera remota o presencial. Nos enfocados principalmente en las ramas mayores, pero sin excluir ningún miembro de asociaciones Scout en el mundo. Inicialmente el programa pionero utilizó walking papers como recurso tecnológico de punta para de levantamiento de datos en campo, con el pasar del tiempo el cierre de la brecha tecnológica a facilitado aun más la especialidad con la utilización de las diferentes aplicaciones disponibles para los dispositivos móviles permite la consolidación de la idea. Los socios estratégicos que han creído en el potencial de la iniciativa en los jóvenes scouts, permitieron que después de muchos trabajos se cristalizara el pasado 27 de Noviembre del 2016 de forma oficial la entrega de la primera insignia a nivel mundial de la iniciativa Scout Mappers, gracias a la donación de la insignias por parte de @mapillary asi como tambien al entrenamiento y colaboración recibida desde la Fundación Openstreetmap Colombia FOSMCol
El Rover Scout Augusto Ibarra es el primer scout en portar orgullosamente su insignia, luego de haber completado sus primeros 5 kms.
También se a logrado participar activamente de la Mapatón de vías terciarias en el municipio de Norte de Santander donde la iniciativa logro un tercer puesto, dentro de la convocatoria de Youthmappers
Se realizan entrenamientos básicos con mapillary con los jóvenes scout en la ciudad de Popayán, donde se crea la iniciativa.
Y también se realizo un entrenamiento a jovenes scout de Guapi quienes participarón activamente del proyecto de generación de datos geográficos libres para el control de la Malaria, participando de la #MapatónXGuapi
Todo inicia hace mucho tiempo atrás, en 2011, cuando los jóvenes Rover del Grupo 9 San Jorge, rodeábamos un mapa impreso desde el desaparecido walking papers para entender y contribuir a openstreetmap la "wikipedia de los mapas"
A new version of Potlatch 2 with several improvements and bugfixes:
- 'New-style' multipolygons are supported, where the tags are placed on the relation rather than the outer way. When you edit such a multipolygon, look at the bottom of the tag editor; you'll see that it's displaying the relation tags rather than the way. If you do want to change the tags on the way, you can choose that from the little dropdown menu there.

Potlatch 2 is somewhere between 'active development' and 'maintenance mode': there's no massive new features that I'm planning, but I intend to keep making small improvements to it along these lines, plus extra features as and when I'm doing some mapping and figure out a way to make it easier or quicker to use. OSM is lucky to have such an excellent default editor in iD, which gives P2 the freedom to develop as an efficient and comfortable editor for those who like its way of doing things.
Vandalism on UP campus
After checking some data of our campus I spot odd additions to the campus map. a User edited some information regarding the name and added some shops that did not exist. I contacted them and asked to revert changes made. Will monitor and follow the steps to correct data if not corrected.

Read our full Lichdom: Battlemage review.
The elevator pitch for Xaviant’s Lichdom: Battlemage probably goes something like this: “It’s Borderlands 2 meets Dark Souls.” Even in the early form that we saw in a Game Developer’s Conference demo session, and a subsequent look at the currently available Steam Early Access release, Lichdom‘s got both the hooks and the looks. It’s fundamentally a first-person shooter, only your firearms are literal fiery arms… and icy arms, and more besides.
You’re a mage, and a badass mage at that. There are no cooldowns, no mana, no gates of any kind that force your magic-wielding warrior to rely on anything other than his or her innate abilities. Even with virtual reality, eye tracking madness, and other shiny baubles to distract the senses at GDC, there’s a freshness in the design and execution of Lichdom that left us excited to talk about it in the days after the show.
Question marks. We know a lot about the structure of Lichdom‘s gameplay systems (more on that below), but the story and the world built around it remains a mystery. Xaviant is discussing a few high-level concepts, but none of the actual plot specifics. You’ll start out – in the final game, not the current Early Access build – by choosing your sorcerer’s gender. While the gameplay and general course of the plot remain largely the same regardless of which choice you make, each character’s motivations differ.
The male Battlemage, voiced by Troy Baker (Joel from The Last of Us) is out to avenge the death of his wife, while the female Battlemage, voiced by prolific voice actor Jennifer Hale (FemShep in the Mass Effect series), is on a quest to save her kidnapped sister. Xaviant hired separate writers to craft the dialogue for each character – the one you don’t choose appears in the game as a sort of NPC guide – even going as far as getting male and female scribes for each part, to better capture each character’s voice.
Early access. It’s unusual to see a story-driven game like this one go the Steam Early Access route (it’s available right now, in fact), but Xaviant sees benefits in exposing Lichdom‘s gameplay systems and user interface to players early. The long-term goal is to deliver the finished product as a roughly 30-hour adventure spread across multiple linear levels, with a New Game+ mode that offers more freedom to play around with endgame content. Lichdom will be PC-only to start, but Xaviant is looking into opportunities on other platforms (there’s already gamepad support in the Early Access release).
First-person spell-slinger. The heart of Lichdom is its spell system, which breaks up your chosen hero’s casting across different elemental categories. Regardless of the element you’ve got equipped – we saw fire, ice, and corruption (a nifty take on damage over time that lets you “infect” enemies with other spell effects, like fire or ice) – you’ve got two basic ranged attacks: a standard “bolt”-style casting (think: fireballs) and an area-effect attack that damages all enemies in the targeted area. Both of these can also be charged up for greater damage by holding the casting button down.
The real game-changer, however, is your Battlemage’s dodge move. Xaviant’s vision for Lichdom is to deliver a game in which the mage isn’t always the “glass cannon” in the back, the fellow that’s capable of doing massive damage but then gets fragged if something dangerous so much as looks his way. With dodge, which you use by pressing the space bar while you’re moving in the desired direction, your quick dash ends in an area-effect explosion that damages whatever’s nearby with the spell you’ve got equipped.
The idea is that you’re dodging into a group of enemies to damage them, and then sprinting away and spinning around to keep hammering them with more spells. You’ve also got the ability to block, and it functions in a similar manner. Holding the block button down halves any damage that you take, but you can negate all damage and trigger an explosive spell blast (like a more powerful version of the dodge’s blast) if you press block just as the enemy attack lands.
Lichdom‘s action is all reflex-driven. It feels a little too forgiving at first, since your bolt attacks auto-target whatever’s in your crosshairs, but that turns out to be an illusion. The game is user-friendly, but it’s definitely not easy. Enemies have a tendency to spawn in force, and they’re aggressive about pursuing you. Let even a couple get too close, and they’ll quickly knock your health down to nothing. Lichdom‘s has a three-tier regenerating health system; if one meter empties all the way, it won’t refill until you find a recharge point. All of these factors add up to a stiff level of challenge that really forces you to think about every encounter.
You are made of magic. Lichdom features a loot system that is very much in the vein of Diablo or Borderlands, though with a big added focus on crafting. Loot drops are essentially color-coded (for rarity) components that you use to build more and more powerful spells. There aren’t any equipment drops in the traditional sense; everything you collect is used for crafting. A spell is broken into three basic components that determine the base element, the type of attack, and any additional effects. There are also Augments, that allow you to further enhance the spell you’re creating.
As with the loot-focused games that inspired the system, monkeying with Lichdom‘s crafting components impacts the created spell’s stats, covering everything from damage to duration to area of effect. The brief taste we’ve had of crafting speaks to a very complex system that fans of loot-grinding can easily obsess over. Xaviant is still building a lot of the visual identity for this and other systems. There may yet be a less stat-focused option for gamers that just want to go in and blast monsters with magic, but it’s not there yet.
A CryEngine 3 fantasy. Lichdom is a looker. The small slice we’ve seen of its fantasy world, which is replete with undead minions of some (presumably) higher power, doesn’t immediately stand out from other high fantasy epics in terms of its overall style, but there’s a high level of polish. The crumbling stone ruins and shadow-covered forest press in from all sides. There’s definitely a video game-y quality to the linear, corridor-style layout – it’s all in service to the gameplay, clearly – but there’s definite care and attention being paid to giving the world a polished feel.
Other aspects of the presentation remain unfinished. If you fire up the Early Access game, you’re going to see temp names (and probably words) in the subtitles and no voice acting. That’s going to improve over time, as that’s the nature of this sort of release. But when you sit down to play Lichdom at present, you can definitely get a sense of where some of the design scaffolding is still in place.
There’s potential here. Tons of it. Xaviant is a newcomer developer filled out by a team of veterans – folks from studios like CCP Games, Bethesda Softworks, and Junction Point. It’s clear after playing Lichdom: Battlemage that the team has an understanding of the hooks that attract fans of lootfest RPGs. It’s also clear from the dev’s Early Access page on Steam that there’s a very specific plan in place, with dates and price points set for alpha, beta, and launch phases. Whether or not they can stick to that schedule and plant the landing remains to be seen, but there’s a whole lot of promise in what we’ve seen so far.

In most sports, a good mentor can help lift the participants skill level and enhance a new players overall video game and technique. Table Tennis games is no exception to this rule and even with a competent expert coach’s involvement the player can quickly improve his or her game. Best coach’s usually demand by means of the hour for every session.
Often the 4 key qualities connected with a great coach
A good good coach should generally get encouraging in addition to support nevertheless at the same time really encourage you to execute at your greatest. In the event that you’re not doing an attempt right, or maybe your strategy is wrong then a coach should stop and display you how to complete that correctly.
For those who have slated a coaching session at a particular day at some sort of selected time, then a coach should be on point in time and ready to discipline you. An organized coach normally has a laptop where they keep track connected with their students teaching occasions and how much these are owed. This will protect against virtually any dilemma and guarantee that the trainer is definitely on time for every single session.
Table Golf coaches usually have to be well prepared and displayed with different equipment for teaching. Two of the main items of which they should have for instruction include a sufficient range of balls along with a web to pick them upwards off the ground.
When you’re participating in a new table tennis match some sort of coach is generally ready to support their participant about the sidelines. This is normally usually done in-between games by the coach that is capable of assist their very own player simply by providing suggestions on the opponent’s flaws and how best in order to beat the opponent and what exactly shots they must play. A good mentor should constantly support their very own students, in particular if they are actively playing a tough match.
These types of five characteristics are typically the sign of the good mentor. My finalized point will be to guide you to definitely look for a instructor you feel relaxed all around. This will ensure higher communication involving you, while you will feel more comfortable talking to your mentor about different areas within your game.

Friday Afternoon Rain Raises Localized Flooding Concerns
More showers will move through our area this afternoon, bringing an additional half inch to inch of rain. Localized flooding is the biggest concern today. Take a look at the amount of rain that has fallen in the past day in Davidson and Williamson counties, through 7am this morning:
If you see a flooded roadway, remember to turn around, don’t drown!
We aren’t really concerned with today’s round of showers turning into a severe event. However, the SPC has looped us into a slight (5%) chance that damaging winds occur within 25 miles of you.
As for rain timing, the HRRR model shows scattered activity today for the most part.
Some showers look like they will pop up around noon, but the bulk of this rain will stay to our west. A second round will materialize tonight. The HRRR says around 10pm, but this timing is not exact, especially this far in advance. Expect these rain showers to stick around into the overnight hours.
As far as camping goes tonight, I’m not sure I would recommend it. Unless you enjoy camping in the rain, it might be best to delay. (Spoiler: reschedule your camping for next week to enjoy cooler temperatures AND lower rain chances!)
Stay tuned to @NashSevereWx on Twitter for more updates on storm timing throughout the day.
Thanks to the rain showers, our afternoon high temperature today will stay in the 80’s! That pattern is here to stay, too.
The Weekend: Afternoon Washout Possible Saturday, but Dry Out in Store Sunday
The NWS said it best:
Saturday appears to be a rinse and repeat version of today with scattered showers and storms by the afternoon.-NWS Area Forecast Discussion
Again, the SPC has included us in the outlook for strong winds tomorrow. Expect an additional inch or two of rain to fall, so localized flooding will be an issue.
Here’s the HRRR model’s early prediction of rain timing:
Disclaimer: Please do not take this as a definitive prediction of where/when rain will fall. This is a model of 24+ hours from now, and a lot can change between now and then.
If you are planning anything outdoors this weekend, plan it for Sunday. Luckily, we get a break from all this rain! A nice temperature relief is also in store for this first weekend in August. Best of all, dewpoints will back off to the 60’s.
The Relief is Here to Stay
Through next week, temperatures will remain lower than average! The typical summertime chance for afternoon showers won’t go anywhere though.
I never thought I would be saying this– especially in 2020–but it looks like it will be a very pleasant first week of August!

Something honest from last week that I waited to post until I had peace about posting it, to make sure I wasn’t posting it to make me feel better, but because it was a beneficial thing to do. I am no longer in “this sucks” mode. I still miss hanging out with my friend, and it was a long week, but God’s goodness has been rampant, and “I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.”
I interrupt your regularly scheduled, well-refined, planned out series to bring you the following:
it suuuucks. Big time suckage. suckage for the ages.
it doesn’t matter, God’s glory shines through, and there are many many things that actually matter in the world and this isn’t one of them and I know:
that God is not slow to deliver His promise
that God is good and always has my best interest in mind
that God LOVES me and that His plan is better than any and every thing I’d cook up
and that the proper perspective will show that this
doesn’t actually suck.
but right now it does. Right now I’m hurt and sad and angry because I miss my friend who I can’t see and it’s like breaking up with someone I wasn’t dating and what the crap is that about and four months (what I’ve got left in my SMOS) seems like a really long time and I’m an emotional jerk and really i’m just kinda embarassed over something that’s even less of a big deal but Satan is whispering in my ear over and over again lies that I am SO TEMPTED TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THIS SUCKS.
I just wanted to say that because it’s still worth it. It’s still better to choose, and to continue choosing, the path to which I’ve been called. Even when it’s sad and not fun and it’s cold and I want a hug and the place where the Fender used to be looks pathetic now that it’s gone….It’s still worth it. Because God is my first love, and he is worth it. He is worth it in these small-sometimes-feel-huge things and he’ll be worth it in the someday-they’ll-be-actually-huge things.
And because for me, and maybe for you, sometimes I really have to let myself off the hook and admit what I feel, even if it’s wrong, which it usually is, in order to get to the place that’s right.
Because God lets me feel so I’m gonna go ahead and let me feel too.

Charlotte Tilbury Copper Charge is a permanent eye palette that retails for $56.00 and contains 0.18 oz.
Charlotte Tilbury Copper Charge Eyeshadow Quad ($53.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a new, limited edition quad that features three shimmery shades and one matte shade. Three of the four shades performed well; they were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, but the third shade (which is a Pop shade) was drier and needed to be applied with a dampened brush or a fingertip for better coverage and to minimize fallout.
The power to mesmerise is in your eyes and Charlotte has decoded the secrets to iconic, hypnotic eyes with the Luxury Palette. Each colour in the quad has a different texture and formula to suit its primary function. ‘Prime’ is emollient-rich to smooth the eyelid, ‘Enhance’ blends easily with all of the other colours, ‘Smoke’ is highly pigment-rich to create a dramatic effect, ‘Pop’ is rich in light-reflecting shimmer flex for an eye-catching, mesmerising finish.

The rate of aneurysms in the sinus of Valsalva (SVA) is estimated at 0.09% in the general population according to a large autopsy series (1). Nonruptured SVAs are associated with significant aortic valve regurgitation in 30% to 50% of cases. However, the association of SVAs with aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear. Although a previous case report has been made regarding the feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe AS with SVAs (2), no reports have investigated the aneurysm status at follow-up. We report on a patient with severe AS who presented with computed tomography (CT)-confirmed SVA stabilization 2 years after undergoing TAVR.
The patient was an 84-year-old woman with symptomatic very severe AS (area, 0.6 cm2; peak/mean gradients, 143/85 mm Hg; ejection fraction, 66%), stable coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and post-operative colon cancer.
Although the presence of SVA is not a contraindication for TAVR, it may increase aortic dissection risk. To minimize this risk, the self-expanding Medtronic CoreValve (Medtronic, Tokyo, Japan) was chosen following pre-dilation using a 16-mm Z-MED balloon (NuMed Canada, Inc., Cornwall, Canada). According to CT dimensions a 29-mm CoreValve was chosen and safely deployed under controlled pacing. There were no adverse events during the 2-year follow-up period. Transthoracic echocardiography at 2 years showed an improved effective orifice area of 2.0 cm2, peak/mean gradients of 35/19 mm Hg, and an ejection fraction of 65%. The patient was prescribed aspirin (100 mg) and clopidogrel (75 mg) for 2 years.
Preprocedural CT showed contrast agent flow into the 1.4 × 0.9 cm2 SVA in the right coronary cusp (Figure 1A). One-week later, however, CT could not detect contrast inside the aneurysm (Figure 1B). Furthermore, 6-month and 2-year CT follow-up showed advanced calcification of the aneurysm (Figures 1C and 1D). The size of the aneurysm remained the same during the 2-year period. The CoreValve frame also continued to expand during follow-up.
In a prior study, calcification in the aorta was found to be correlated with decelerated abdominal aneurysm expansion (3). Our results suggest that interruption of blood flow into the SVA because of TAVR led to advanced calcification, which stabilized the SVA.

The Australian Open and Asahi Beverages have inked a new multi-year deal, reinstating Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Somersby as the official beer and cider partners of the prestigious tennis tournament.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Somersby will play a central role in enhancing the fan experience at the Australian Open. Peroni, synonymous with the laidback elegance of the Mediterranean, will transform the Grand Slam Oval into the Peroni Capri Beach Club. Here, tennis enthusiasts can bask in the relaxed beach lifestyle of Capri while catching all the riveting tennis action on giant screens.
The Peroni Capri Beach Club is set for Saturday, January 20, as Peroni takes the spotlight as the naming rights partner for one of the Australian Open’s standout days – Peroni Super Saturday. Positioned on Grand Slam Oval, this exclusive venue will offer live music, on-tap beer and an infectious energy that complements the buzz of one of the Open’s busiest days.

First arrests made hours after French Burka ban comes into force - Telegraph
Two Muslim women wearing full face veils have been arrested within hours of France's burka ban becoming a law, as they were taking part in a demonstration against the new measure in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in central Paris.
"This law is an attack on my European rights," said Mrs Drider, the daughter of Moroccan immigrants.
Police admitted they were enforcing the ban extremely cautiously because of fears of provoking violence.

text: Experiments were performed: (i) to investigate potential age- and gender-dependent differences in mutagenic responses in T cells following exposures of B6C3F1 mice and F344 rats by inhalation for 2 weeks to 0 or 1250 ppm butadiene (BD), and (ii) to determine if exposures for 2 weeks to 62.5 ppm BD produce a mutagenic effect in female rats. To evaluate the effect of age on mutagenic response, mutant manifestation curves for splenic T cells of female mice exposed at 8-9 weeks of age were defined by measuring Hprt mutant frequencies (MFs) at multiple time points after BD exposure using a T cell cloning assay and comparing the resulting mutagenic potency estimate (calculated as the difference of areas under the mutant manifestation curves of treated versus control animals) to that reported for female mice exposed to BD in the same fashion beginning at 4-5 weeks of age. The shapes of the mutant T cell manifestation curves for spleens were different [e.g., the maximum BD-induced MFs in older mice (8.0+/-1.0 [S.D.]x10(-6)) and younger mice (17.8+/-6.1 x 10(-6)) were observed at 8 and 5 weeks post-exposure, respectively], but the mutagenic burden was the same for both age groups. To assess the effect of gender on mutagenic response, female and male rodents were exposed to BD at 4-5 weeks of age and Hprt MFs were measured when maximum MFs are expected to occur post-exposure. The resulting data demonstrated that the pattern for mutagenic susceptibility from high-level BD exposure is female mice>male mice>female rats>male rats. Exposures of female rats to 62.5 ppm BD caused a minor but significant mutagenic response compared with controls (n=16/group; P=0.03). These results help explain part of the differing outcomes/interpretations of data in earlier Hprt mutation studies in BD-exposed rodents.

This morning the sun started to peek through the clouds so Yuma and I decided to unhook the jeep and do a little sight seeing. Looked online this morning and found we are camped just off Black Canyon Road.
We drove north on Black Canyon Road about three miles and there was a Ranger Visitor Center, so we stopped in and talked to the ranger for awhile and got the layout of the land. We also picked up a brochure and a map of the area. The Hole in the Wall Campground is just a quarter mile further up the road and it is open to campers.
Asked where the nearest gas station was and the ranger told me I would need to drive 60 miles west to Baker, California on I-15. Showed me how to get there on the map.
Yuma and I decided to go in the direction of the Kelso Depot Visitor Center which is about half way to Baker taking the back way. This meant following Black Canyon Road for about 7 miles to Cedar Canyon Road also known as Mojave Road. Took this for another 7 miles till it intersected with the Kelso Sima Road which is a blacktop. Followed it south for 15 miles to the Visitor Center. The entire drive was very scenic. I am going to show photos of my travels, but may take several blogs to complete.
Here are photos as we headed the seven miles north on Black Canyon Road.
Then we turn left onto Cedar Canyon Road, aka, Mojave Road.
As we wound our way through the thousands of Joshua Trees you could see the Mojave Road stretch out across the desert ahead of us. Luckily, we don’t drive the entire road. We turn left at the railroad tracks.
Finally made it to the the Kelso Depot Welcome Center.
Better stop for now. I will cover the remaining part of my day in tomorrow’s blog.
See you later.

The pink flesh of the watermelon is the most popular component of the fruit, although like its cousin, the cucumber, the entire fruit may be consumed. Included in this category are the green leftovers that are typically disposed of in the compost bin. The rind, which is the green skin that protects all of that luscious, waterlogged fruit from being spoiled, is absolutely edible.

What is the flesh of a watermelon called?
The huge fruit is a type of modified berry known as a pepo, which has a thick skin (exocarp) and a fleshy inside, similar to a berry (mesocarp and endocarp).
What is the flesh of a watermelon made of?
Unlike today’s watermelons, which have a high concentration of lycopene, the ancient fruit’s flesh (really the placenta, the tissue that surrounds the seeds) did not contain the same amount of the bright-red carotenoid pigment that gives them their color.
How do you describe watermelon flesh?
It has a delicious, juicy, refreshing flesh that is yellowish or reddish in color and has many black, brown, or white pips. It is available in a variety of sizes.
What are the parts of a watermelon?
The juicy center, the seeds, and the rind of the watermelon fruit are all consumed by humans, as is the entire fruit itself. Fruits and vegetables that are eaten fresh or used to flavor beverages are high in vitamins C and A, as well as vitamin B6 and B1, as well as a variety of other minerals and vitamins.
Are all fruits fleshy?
An ovary is a fleshy or dry ripening ovary of a flowering plant that contains the seed or seeds, according to the botanical definition. Fruits such as apricots, bananas, and grapes, as well as bean pods, maize grains, tomatoes, cucumbers, and (in their shells) acorns and almonds, are all considered to be edible in some capacity.
Is it OK to eat the white part of watermelon?
The rind of a watermelon, which is the white portion of the fruit between the pink meat and rough green skin, is not only edible, but it also contains a significant amount of nutrients that are distinct from those found in the flesh of the fruit. So it’s nearly like getting two fruits for the price of one!
Does watermelon rind give you diarrhea?
It has the potential to cause diarrhea and other digestive problems. The fruit includes sorbitol, which is a sugar molecule that is known to cause loose stools and gas problems in those who consume it. Another typical reason of such problems is the presence of lycopene in the watermelon, which is a pigmented antioxidant that contributes to the fruit’s vivid color.
What part of the watermelon is like Viagra?
In the edible section of the watermelon, he claims, there is more citrulline than had previously been thought. What makes you think watermelon may be a natural Viagra? It is explained by Patil that the amino acid citrulline is transformed into the amino acid arginine. ‘This is a precursor to nitric oxide, and the nitric oxide will aid in the dilation of blood vessels,’ says the researcher.
What is the texture of watermelon?
Watermelon has a high water content (about 92 percent), which results in a crumbly and faintly crunchy feel in its flesh, making it one of the most popular thirst-quenching fruits in the world.
What is yellow flesh watermelon?
The yellowing of the flesh of watermelons is a result of a natural mutation. In reality, the African originator of our commercial variety, which is a yellow to white fleshed fruit, is the fruit that inspired our commercial variety. When compared to red fleshed melons, the flavor of the fruit is sweeter and more honey-like, but it offers many of the same nutritional advantages.
Why is my watermelon crunchy inside?
When a watermelon becomes overripe, the juicy crisp texture of the flesh can become gritty and dry, resulting in a mushy feel. Depending on how you cut it open, you might be able to see the flesh breaking away from the seeds. Even if your watermelon has a mealy texture, it is still safe to consume.
What do you do with the rind of a watermelon?
5 Ingenious Ways to Utilize Your Watermelon Rind
- Make a pickle out of it. If possible, make this a few days ahead of time so that the rind has plenty of time to acquire its distinctive pickled taste.
- Make it into a chutney by blending it together.
- It can be used in Indian curries.
- Make it into a refreshing gazpacho.
- It should be candy-coated
Is watermelon a fruit or berry?
Prepare to have your fruit-loving heads blown by the following: Watermelons are classified as berries. Cucumbers, cantaloupes, squash, and pumpkins are also high in antioxidants. Known scientifically as pepos, these fruits are classified as berries and belong to a unique type of berry with a tough peel, many flat seeds, and pulpy flesh. Pepos are likewise indehiscent in their structure.
Why you should eat watermelon rind?
They’re a good source of fiber, as you can see. As Davar points out, the white component of the rind is an excellent source of fiber, which can assist to speed up digestion. In addition to maintaining regularity, high-fiber diets can improve gut health while also assisting in the management of cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Hey guys, and welcome back to Nico Talks About Stuff! Read the title to see what my name is. No, it's not "Stuff".
Before we start, there will be multiple characters speaking in this post. You can differentiate them based on the text color: White is me (Nico), yellow is the person who likes high end games, red is the person who likes retro games. Okay? OK. And of course, I hope that no one here is like the yellow and red guys.
So, what we all know is: there's various tastes, various opinions, and of course various types of pizza. I know it doesn't really fit to the theme of this post... whatever.
But today, we will talk about: New games or retro games? But STOP! Before we start, I want to respond to a comment that Trotsky left on my latest post about Counter Strike, in which he was surprised that people still play that game. And he also said he's old. So, for the first part: I also thought CS died out after the long nothingness after Source, but then Global Offensive came out and almost all of my friends started playing it. For the second part, 25 is not old.
Hey man, get to the point already. Just tell that nostalgia idiot that the new games are way better than the old rotten crappy retro games!
You have no idea, dude. Just look at those new games! It's only about graphics, and the gameplay and ESPECIALLY the story just falls out completely. Crysis is the best example!
Don't talk shit, man! Look at Portal 2, good graphics and still gameplay and story!
Well, Portal 2 is an exception. But I'm talking about all those first person shooters, and I CAN'T OPEN THIS BAG OF CHIPS!
Guys, just calm down! I think a few people are worse than the discussions themselves. What do I mean with that? I have no idea. Just kidding. First of all, there are these people...
What, Nintendo and graphics? Nintendo is just for little kids, I play GTA on PS4 all the time man! I have this gun here and-- what is this umbrella doing here, I want a gun!! There we go-- A SHOEHORN?!
Oh really...? And how about... Splinter Cell? Resident Evil?!
Splinter Cell? Resident something? Doesn't count man, it's for little kids too.
And also, the term "nostalgia" is always used so positively. Do you know about the "nostalgia factor"? I will demonstrate it by using a conversation me and a friend of mine had a few weeks before Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released with the Nintendo Switch.
Yellow (me): Oh, I'm so excited for Breath of the Wild! You too?
Red (friend): Nope, Ocarina of Time is better.
So, how are you supposed to know when the game isn't even OUT yet?!
Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game and NOTHING CAN EVER GET BETTER.
This over-the-top conservative thinking is just... over the top! Just give the new games a chance. The developers always have new ideas. Maybe they'll release the Umbrella Gun... okay, that's not a good idea.
But we all see that everything gets newer. And in a few years... everything will be 3D. Maybe not, but that's not so important.
And that concludes the third episode of Nico Talks About Stuff. Leave your opinion in the comments: Which do you like more, high end or retro? And I'll see you next time. Bye!

Princes Highway Corridor Strategy
The Princes Highway Corridor Strategy will develop an evidence base to underpin a ‘whole-of-corridor’ perspective of the current and future role of the Princes Highway, including economic, social and environmental factors. It will support meaningful engagement with industry and key stakeholders and provide the evidence necessary to allow governments to make informed investment decisions.
The objectives of the Strategy are:
- Promoting better access and connectivity to and along the corridor
- Improving safety and providing efficient driving conditions along the length of the corridor
- Activating the corridor as a means to drive better regional development and industry performance
- Promoting more efficient and environmentally sustainable use of the corridor
- Supporting corridor investments which are value adding, well-informed and linked together as part of an overarching vision for the corridor.
The Australian Government is delivering the Strategy in partnership with the NSW Government, the Government of Victoria and the Government of South Australia. The Princes Highway Corridor Strategy will be delivered by mid-2019.
About the Princes Highway
The Princes Highway is a national road asset running along the southeast coast of Australia, beginning in Sydney and ending in Port Augusta. Part of Australia’s Highway 1 network, the 1,941 km route extends through New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, and serves as an important connection between the metropolitan centres of Sydney, Wollongong, Melbourne, Geelong and Adelaide.
Excluding capital cities, over 1 million people live in the local government areas traversed by the Princes Highway, with an estimated 50% living in urban centres or townships. The highway supports from below 1,000 vehicles per day in rural sections to over 60,000 vehicles per day in urban centres.
The highway is also an iconic tourist road, forming part of the Grand Pacific Drive along New South Wales’ south coast and links to the Great Ocean Road on the west Victorian coast. The route is a strategically important corridor for freight movements and provides regional industries, such as forestry, metal manufacturing, timber, beef, seafood and dairy producers with access to domestic markets and major ports. The total alignment of the Princes Highway is shown below.

Issues Paper and public invitation to comment
The Issues Paper PDF: 4202 KB summarises the work to date in identifying issues and opportunities to be considered in the development of the Princes Highway Corridor Strategy.
The Paper has been developed with the input of a wide range of stakeholders and now is the time for the broader community, as users of the Princes Highway, to consider whether we have missed anything. Early, open and productive engagement is essential to the development of a comprehensive strategy that will inform decisions about the Princes Highway for at least the next decade.
You are encouraged to read this document and if you identity issues and/or opportunities that have not been included, we invite you to provide a written submission.
Submissions will be accepted until 12 April 2019 although the earlier they are provided the more time is available for consideration and inclusion.
In writing a submission please note which strategic objective it fits under, and ensure it is not already covered. Objectives are:
- Safety: strong focus on improving safety outcomes along the corridor, including where freight and other traffic intersect. This could include information such as crash statistics, and evidence of where locations have safety issues.
- Access and connectivity: strong focus on improving access to economic opportunities, including regional growth areas along the corridor. This could include information such as locations where certain vehicles cannot access the corridor and information relating to events which have created significant road closures.
- Corridor activation: the role of the corridor in driving better regional development and industry performance. This could include information such as examples of transport corridor treatments leading to improved industry performance and information related to specific industries that could change how the corridor is currently used. It could also include experiences relating to the way land use planning is integrated with transport corridors (ie Movement and Place).
- Efficiency and sustainability: Promotes better environmental outcomes from more efficient travel. This could include information such as locations where road congestion is causing issues and locations where the corridor has either positively or negatively impacted the amenity of an area.
- Investment and vision: transparent investment priorities achieving value for money and linked together as part of an overarching vision for the corridor. This could include information such as initiatives that have been successfully implemented in other corridors that could apply to the Princes Highway.
Please send your submission to firstname.lastname@example.org
The department has engaged GHD Pty Ltd to collect information from a variety of stakeholders including peak bodies and industry associations on the use (current and future) of the Princess Highway road corridor and identify issues and constraints to be considered in the development of a strategy for the Princes Highway corridor. This information is being collated into a stakeholder consultation report which will be used to inform the development of the strategy. The information collected may include opinions, views and other personal information and is being collected in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988.
The department will only receive de-identified aggregate information from GHD. Personal information collected by GHD will only be used for the purpose stated above, will be stored securely, within Australia and will not be disclosed to or accessed by individuals or companies outside Australia.
GHD Pty Ltd has been engaged by the department to develop the Princes Highway Corridor Strategy with guidance from a steering committee comprising DIRDC, Transport for Victoria, NSW Transport, NSW Roads & Maritime Services and South Australia’s Department of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure.
The views of other federal and state agencies, local government, industry organisations and peak bodies will be sought during the development of the Strategy. Consultation is expected to commence in December 2018 and continue through until the end of April 2019. For further information, please contact GHD: email@example.com
