You see some weird shit now and again, and this one is in the red. English interior designer, Barrend Massow built a panther shaped motorcycle. I totally recognize the effort and amount of work a project like this must have demanded. I more than respect the ability to take a crazy idea to a finished

Two Wheel Terrors II, DVD review

Two Wheel Terrors 2 is the latest movie from the Vanschyndel brothers in the lines of the skater movie like motorcycle DVD’s that has been surfacing over the last few years.
Two Wheel Terrors 2 is stuffed with cool motorcycles covering everything, I think, except crotch rockets and big touring bikes. But mostly it’s a tribute

Happy motorcycles adventures in 2010

Did you ever dream of going across Africa on motorcycle? Surfing through YouTube this morning I found some Yamaha Super Teneré videos that got me dreaming of long motorcycle journeys. I was never that big on Africa so I’d probably seek east. Maybe start out in Finland and ride all the way through Russia to

calogero 8cfw9

Two months after Japan's December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, 48 American merchant ships had been sunk in the Atlantic Ocean not far off the United States Eastern seaboard by Nazi U-Boats. This onslaught was said to have officially begun on February 2, 1942, after the French ship Normandie, then the largest ship in the world, caught fire and capsized at New York City's Passenger Ship Terminal. (Note: while the Normandie spread fears of sabotage throughout the country, it was later determined that the fire was caused accidentally by errant sparks from a welding torch.) The ship casualties led to Naval Intelligence suspecting that the Nazis were getting information on Atlantic Ocean ship movements and logistics from domestic sympathizers and spies.

While Naval Intelligence knew that organized crime had controlled the East Coast docks for years, they needed a way to enter that world and ask for help. Intelligence officers first approached gangster Meyer Lansky and asked him to meet with his close friend, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, the undisputed boss of organized crime in the United States. The object of this liaison was for Lucky and Lansky to help recruit informants on the East Coast docks. At that time, Luciano was serving a long sentence at Dannemora Prison in a remote part of New York State, up to 50 years for promoting prostitution. When Luciano agreed to help, the government's Office of Strategic Services (the forerunner of the CIA) granted him unrestricted (and unrecorded) visits at Dannemora from friends, family, and business associates. “Operation Underworld” became the name of the OSS alliance with organized crime in its war effort.

After Luciano and Lansky put the word out on the docks, recruiting thousands of informants, the U-Boat attacks on merchant ships soon stopped. After the government was sure that Lucky had made good on his promise, they moved him from Dannemora Prison (then known as “the Siberia of America”) to Great Meadow, a “country club” prison near Albany, the New York state capital.

Toward the end of the war, “Lucky” Luciano was again approached by Intelligence before the Allied invasion of Sicily. The OSS believed that the mobster's connections on the island of Sicily with Mafia leaders would help funnel Nazi troop movement information to the invading force, General George Patton's Third Division. Luciano, sure enough, was easily able to make contact with Calogero Vizzini, Sicily's Mafia boss. When Patton's Division attacked, Vizzini's men protected the roads from snipers, enabling the invasion's success. At the end of the war, Vizzini was made an honorary Colonel of the U.S. Army.

In 1946, the government rewarded Luciano with a commuted sentence on condition that he then be deported to Italy after release. (Lucky had never been a naturalized American citizen.)

Charles “Lucky” Luciano never returned to the United States, except after death. His body was allowed to be buried at St. John's Cemetery in New York City.

This study is the first to document the long-term welfare effects of household non-traditional agricultural export (NTX) adoption. We use a unique panel dataset, which spans the period of 1985-2005, and employ difference-in-differences estimation to investigate the long-term impact of NTX adoption on changes in household consumption status and asset position in Santiago Sacatepéquez municipality of Guatemala. Given the heterogeneity in adoption patterns, we differentiate the impact estimates based on a classification of households that takes into account the timing and duration of NTX adoption. Our results show that while, on average, welfare levels have improved for all households irrespective of adoption status and duration, the extent of improvement varied across groups, with long-term adopters exhibiting the smallest increase in the lapse of two decades, in spite of some early gains. Conversely, early adopters who withdrew from NTX production after reaping the benefits of the boom period of the 1980s are found to have fared better and shown greater improvements in durable asset position and housing conditions than any other category.

same, fixed period. Recently a simple transformation has been introduced, applicable to quite a large class of dynamical systems, that yields autonomous systems which are isochronous. This justifies the notion that isochronous systems are not rare.
In this book the procedure to manufacture isochronous systems is reviewed, and many examples of such systems are provided.

Examples include many-body problems characterized by Newtonian equations of motion in spaces of one or more dimensions, Hamiltonian systems, and also nonlinear evolution equations (PDEs).
The book shall be of interest to students and researchers working on dynamical systems, including integrable and nonintegrable models, with a finite or infinite number of degrees of freedom. It might be used as a basic textbook, or as backup material for an undergraduate or graduate course.

I've never encountered a Donna Jo Napoli book I didn't love! She is a fine storyteller with a great sense of timing and characterization. And she has written some of the BEST reworked fairytales I've read! This book, ALLIGATOR BAYOU, just blew me away. Now I know this country has a history of difficulty in accepting other races, religions, cultures, etc. Before the 50s, and even to this DAY in some narrow-minded, stuck-in-the-past heads, prejudice and fear of 'difference' ran rampant. So I wasn't all that surprised to read about the Caucasian population of Louisiana circa 1899 NOT considering African Americans as – let's just say – their 'equals'. What I DIDN'T know was their fear and hatred for, and STUPIDITY about Sicilian immigrants. This book is based on a true historical incident. And it kept me reading from the first to the last page without a single pause. Seriously. I read the entire book cover to cover in a sitting. I need to write to Donna to thank her for this story. It will make readers think. It will make them open their eyes and their minds. It will make them cry and be absolutely horrified. And if it DOESN'T, I'd be shocked. ALLIGATOR BAYOU is considered Young Adult. Ha. I say it's just EXCELLENT READING.

Synopsis
Talullah, Louisiana. 1899.Calogero, his uncles, and cousins are six Sicilian men living in the small town of Tallulah, Louisiana. They work hard, growing vegetables and selling them at their stand and in their grocery store.To 14-year-old Calogero, newly arrived from Sicily, Tallulah is a lush world full of contradictions, hidden rules, and tension between the Negro and white communities. He’s startled and thrilled by the danger of a ’gator hunt in the midnight bayou, and by his powerful feelings for Patricia, a sharpwitted, sweet-natured Negro girl. Some people welcome the Sicilians. Most do not. Calogero’s family is caught in the middle: the whites don’t see them as equal, but befriending Negroes is dangerous. Every day brings Calogero and his family closer to a a terrifying, violent confrontation.

FOTA Software Is a Must-Have Feature for Managing Remotely Connected M2M Devices

By Calogero (Lillo) Licata
Director of Technology and New Business for Europe,
Red Bend Software

The machine-to-machine (M2M) market is a fast-growing area in the wireless sector. M2M applications can be found in a range of industries and used in a number of ways, including automotive telematics and transportation, environmental and energy control, physical surveillance and security, retail vending and even remote patient monitoring.

In Europe, a number of drivers promise M2M market expansion. In April 2009, the U.K. passed new legislation to encourage energy efficiency. The legislation requires all profile-class type meters to upgrade to new “smart meters” by 2014. Smart metering, which affects hundreds of thousands of electricity and gas meters, will automate the reading of consumed energy and provide more frequent and accurate data to help save energy and meet the European Union directive to cut greenhouse gases. On the automotive front, analyst firm Berg Insight recently forecast that 3.5 million passenger cars in Europe will have on-board telematics by year’s end. Stolen vehicle tracking is the main application, followed by motor insurance telematics, connected navigation, automatic emergency call and driver assistance. In France, even M2M use for toll collection is expanding.

With M2M embedded systems growing in complexity, there is an inherent need to life-cycle manage the module modem and application software in these devices in order to enable new features and applications. Both OEMs and solution providers greatly benefit from the ability to update and maintain M2M devices by remotely performing software improvements over the air. After all, some of these devices are intended to have a 20-plus year lifespan.

The M2M market in Europe recognizes the importance of firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updating for managing software and applications remotely. By keeping these devices up-to-date with the latest features and improvements, M2M manufacturers and service providers can ensure quality, avoid product recalls, reduce support costs and improve customer satisfaction. With FOTA support integrated into the M2M device, only hardware-related failures, which happen less often, need to be repaired manually in the field.

According to ABI Research’s Senior Analyst Sam Lucero, FOTA is becoming more important in the M2M market: “For M2M, the benefits are operational efficiency and cost reduction. With M2M modules growing in complexity, FOTA enables manufacturers to perform software improvements over the air, without needing to send a technician on-site.”

Four of the top five M2M module manufacturers, including Motorola’s Wireless Modules division and SIMCom Wireless Solutions Ltd., have adopted FOTA for use in their modules. Telit Wireless Solutions SpA., an international provider of cellular M2M technology, licensed Red Bend’s FOTA client software for use in its M2M product portfolio and now offers a FOTA service to its customers. In September, France-based Sagem Communications also selected Red Bend’s vRapid Mobile® FOTA solution in order to offer its customers software improvements and new functionality for Sagem’s M2M modules and devices.

By the end of 2010, Red Bend estimates that approximately 40% of new M2M modules will be FOTA capable. Besides having the extensive experience, Red Bend has the products and solutions to allow OTA delivery and updating of embedded devices/systems comprising compressed firmware image structures, applications, read-only file systems and distributed CPU architectures, which are becoming pervasive in M2M.

Red Bend is actively supporting M2M market expansion in Europe. Soon, M2M will help us all use energy more wisely, keep our cars running more efficiently and enable us to purchase goods and services on the go. Long live the machines!
