It’s been six years since a local engineer had his ah-ha moment while on vacation on the Oregon Coast, wondering why coastal communities don’t have better tsunami evacuation plans.

>But now the Survival Capsule he has engineered, tested, and created is ready and could give people an alternative to running from tsunami-generated waves.

>Mukilteo engineer Julian Sharpe’s capsules tether to the ground and rise and fall with the water. They are designed to handle large impacts, fire, and other tsunami-related damage.

>The Survival Capsules, as they’re now known, have been well-received in Japan and are on the verge of hitting the U.S. market.

>“We hope to start selling officially in Japan in the first half of next year,” Sharpe said. “As far as the domestic market is concerned, we have decided to launch the two-person capsule next month officially.”

>Sharpe says that first U.S. Survival Capsule will be installed on the Long Beach Peninsula. He exhales deeply when asked about how long it took to get to this point, saying he’s glad he has a “day job,” which is his aerospace company, Idea. But he knows he’s breaking new ground.

>“We’re developing a product, we’re creating the market, and we’re also changing people’s mindset … that is, if they don’t have a horizontal and vertical evacuation, we’re giving them this third option.”

>But this third option is likely out of many people’s price range, including those who need the capsule the most. They are still made by hand. The two-person models cost between $13,000 and $15,000.

>Sharpe says they can be mass-produced using a robotic assembly line if there is the demand. There are three fabrication facilities already in Japan. Mass-production will bring down the costs, by how much Sharpe isn’t sure. What he is sure of is that he wants everyone who wants one to be able to get one.

>That’s why he’s now exploring financing or leasing options so he can get them into economically-challenged communities along the coast.

>“We have every intention of looking at ways of bringing the price down, but also looking at ways of financing,” he said. “So you have, small monthly payments, almost like an insurance.”

>Sharpe says these capsules have one advantage over evacuation platforms.

>“It’s not anywhere near as expensive as building vertical evacuation tower facilities on the ocean, which are fixed solutions,” he explained. “And let’s face it, fixed solutions can be overrun [with water].”

>We’ll see how the capsule is received on the Long Beach Peninsula. Most tsunami maps show the entire peninsula would be washed over in a significant event, with the exception of the south end near North Head and Cape Disappointment.

Cool since they supposedly work.

If they are tethered, what happens when debris hits the tether? It will pull the pod underwater, and I'm guessing there's a hole in the top for air, also it could do with a GPS in case the tether breaks, and add a water sensor near the top to close the air holes if submerged, if it has been submerged for too long then the tether would need to be released to float to refill the air, then you have a pod floating in the middle of nowhere

Or add a telescopic air tube

>Radio host Rush Limbaugh discussed the riots at UC Berkeley that shut down Breitbart Senior editor MILO’s scheduled event on his show again today, ridiculing former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich for suggesting that the rioters were right-wing plants.

>“The labor secretary, former labor secretary, Robert B. Reichhhh,” said Rush, “claims that the protesters in Berkeley were actually hired by Breitbart. That it was a Breitbart false flag. (laughing) They weren’t really leftists that were doing this. Go to the audio sound bites. Last night on CNN Tonight, Don Lemon speaking with the former Secretary of Labor for Clinton, said, “The violence we saw at Berkeley, it plays right into the hands of the right-wing white supremacists, you know, the people at Breitbart. What do you think about that, Mr. Secretary?”

>“They’re proud of these anarchists. They’re proud of the people who blow up bank buildings. They’re proud of the people that start fires. They never blame them. They never try to pass it off as fake protesters hired by Republicans. (chuckles) Until now. Why now? Why would it be…? Why don’t they embrace these people? Why isn’t former labor secretary Reichhhh and the rest of the left embracing these people and giving them a bunch of attaboys? Why aren’t they encouraging ’em?”

I don't think anyone was ever proud of folks blowing things up. This is a silly conversation to be having in the first place; why can't everyone take a reasonable stance that people doing violence don't represent typical liberals or conservatives. We're generally not going to figure out the best policies based on which idea has the supporters that can be more maligned than the other.

>You better hustle to McDonald’s fast and stake a claim on a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit.

>The nation has an official U.S. bacon reserve (who knew?) and experts say its at a 50-year low.

>The Charlotte Observer was first alerted to the crisis via a tweet Tuesday morning from NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. There’s actually a Twitter hash tag: #baconreserves

>His attention is fitting, since hog farming and pork product processing are major industries in North Carolina ($1.5 billion a year), especially for the eastern part of the state. Smithfield Foods, a national leader in pork products, operates many facilities in North Carolina and is a major source of jobs and revenue.

>Fortune magazine reported it days ago, noting the non-profit Ohio Pork Council says demand for frozen pork belly, often made into bacon, has far outpaced supply. We currently have only about 17.8 million pounds, it was reported, which the average southerner can go through in a week.

>“Today’s pig farmers are setting historic records by producing more pigs than ever. Yet our reserves are still depleting,” said Rich Deaton, was quoted saying in USA Today.

>The low reserve levels are prompting a price increase, Fortune magazine says. The cost of pork belly rose by 20 percent in January, according to the council. An increase in foreign demand might also be responsible, it was reported, as hog farmers export around 26 percent of their total product.

>Foreigners may not love us, but they love our bacon.

http://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2017/01/japanese-toilet-washlet-symbols/

>It's long been a conundrum for visitors to Japan: how do you actually use the toilet? For more than 35 years, the "washlet"—also known in some parts as the "super toilet"—has baffled the unwary traveller with its incredibly confusing array of additional functions.

>Each of these space-age super toilets comes with a panel of buttons festooned with inscrutable icons. Press the wrong one and you can easily end up with a sharp jet of cold water at an uncomfortable angle, or even an unexpected blow-dry for your junk. What makes the whole affair exponentially more confusing is the fact that, until now, the makers of these Swiss army-knife commodes couldn't agree on a way to standardise the images they put on the buttons.

>Ahead of the forthcoming Tokyo Olympics in 2020, however, with a massive influx of tourists and their bowel movements expected in the country, the manufacturers have reached a consensus. At a press conference on Tuesday, representatives from the nine companies that make up Japan's Sanitary Equipment Industry Association unveiled eight new symbols to accompany the various key functions for each new loo. Models released from April this year will all be standardised, and the manufacturers hope it might even become an international standard.

>The symbols are shown in the main image, and from left to right indicate the following: raise the lid, raise the seat, large flush, small flush, rear and front bidet, dry, and stop.

>Incredibly, these functions aren't the only features one might find on a super toilet; as well as hot-air drying, heated seats, and a range of bidet spray functions, manufacturers have included functions to control the heating and air conditioning for the room, underlighting for users in the night, and even music to relax a user's sphincter—some Inax toilets will apparently play the first few phrases of Op. 62 Nr. 6 Frühlingslied by Felix Mendelssohn. Higher-end units will have bidet sprays that pulse or vibrate gently for sufferers of haemorrhoids, or thoughtful automatic air deodorising.

>"This is one of the most exciting technological breakthroughs to be squeezed out by Japan in recent memory," said Sebastian Anthony, editor of Ars Technica UK. "I was in Japan recently and had a full-on Mr Bean moment with one toilet that featured particularly bad iconography. There was a full and whiffy bowl, manic button pushing as I tried and failed to find the flush button, and hence nozzles spraying parts of me that hadn't received such, er, direct attention in many years."

>Japan is gearing up to make itself more comprehensible to tourists ahead of the Games in 2020, and the Rugby World Cup in 2019. Last year, the government began encouraging Buddhist temples to remove the "manji" symbol from maps aimed at foreigners, due to its close resemblance to the Nazi swastika. A total of six symbols were revised on new tourist maps, including an H in a circle which made westerners think more of helipads than the hotels it was designed to represent.

>“Japan needs to create an environment where foreign visitors can easily use transport and find accommodation,” the country's Geospatial Information Authority said in a report quoted by the Japan Times. “For that purpose, it is especially important to disseminate multilingual maps that are easy for foreigners to understand.”

Hamilton police are investigating the theft of a refrigeration truck full of blueberries from Stoney Creek last weekend.

The burgled berries – about $100,000 worth of them, police say – disappeared from 555 Seaman Dr. sometime between 3 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Feb. 5.

Const. Steve Welton said Wednesday he didn’t know if the blueberries are fresh or frozen – or somewhere in between, depending on the state of the stolen refrigeration unit.

He didn’t immediately have information about the number or weight of the purloined pints, but for reference sake, 170-gram boxes of blueberries are selling for nearly $4 each at Fortinos at the moment.

Police later found the stolen truck in the Toronto area, but the trailer and its tasty cargo are still missing.

Recognizing the public taste for this sort of berry hunt, police have posted “Have you seen these berries?” messages on Facebook and Twitter

“We’re hoping to have some fun through engagement, but also for tips about what is an unusual theft,” Welton said. “Maybe you notice someone is in the blueberry business who hasn’t been before.”

This isn’t the first garden-variety heist pulled off in Hamilton. Last December, police were on the hunt for more than 10,000 misappropriated melons stolen from a Barton Street East parking lot.

This has been obvious for years. The jet stream is having fibrillations; a heart-attack.

> But he added that an increase in the frequency of temperature extremes at the North Pole is just another indicator of climate change’s disproportionate effect on the Arctic.
It's the extremes are killing us.

More data that the ignorant people will ignore. This is what makes an ignorant person; ignorant people can't change, learn or face reasonable and likely truths that demands maturity, responsibility and civility.

So with campaigners having raised the funds to challenge the blanket surveillance of the UK population, can someone explain to me how said surveillance works? I've asked elsewhere always been ignored. Fellow UK readers, do you feel that your browsing habits? What is the extent of the data they now collect? Are you intimidated into not browsing other perfectly legal sites in fear that specific powers may use your browsing habits to silence or coerce you later?
Say for example I wanted to write some erotic fiction or draw some erotic art. Would there be any ramifications to this even if the content was fairly vanilla and didn't feature any illegal acts? A couple of years back even when they were still collecting data I would have been more brazen and not seen a problem, but now not so much.

A Rhode Island state legislator was fired from her job as a waitress after her employer said her political views hurt the restaurant's reputation.

Classic Cafe owner Raymond Burns said Thursday he warned Providence Democratic Rep. Moira Walsh that her "vocal political discussions" during her shift were interfering with her work. He said the final straw was a scathing online review of the restaurant that complained about Walsh.

Walsh denied that she had been warned against talking politics with customers and said the negative review complained about her political beliefs, not her service. The review discouraged men from patronizing the Providence breakfast spot because of what it described as "anti-male" views she had expressed on the radio and on social media.

Walsh said she got the job as a teenager and worked there for eight years before her firing last week.

"His direct quote to me was, 'You know, we're very proud of everything that you're doing up at the State House, but your political views are affecting the business and we have to terminate your employment,'" she told WPRO-AM on Thursday.

Burns said in an email it was "not a case of political censorship or denial of her right to free speech," but he said her public comments were hurting business.

Walsh told the radio station that it all started with a posting she made on social media just before Christmas saying "all my holiday cheer is for women, femmes and trans. The rest of you boys can kick rocks."

Walsh took office last month after a surprising win over a longtime incumbent in last year's Democratic primary. Her advocacy for raising the tipped minimum wage and her candid talk about her struggles as a waitress and 26-year-old single parent have attracted wide attention, including a profile on The Atlantic's website .

"Did my comments make men uncomfortable? Clearly," she said Thursday. "Social change comes at the price of comfort, and if you're agitated, it means it's working."

I work in a restaurant (cook, not waitstaff) and everyone in the business knows to keep shit like that out of the workplace, certainly not to talk about customers with it. I have seen waiters get fired over much less than expressing their political opinions to a customer, if she worked there for 8 years, she should have mow better than to do something stupid like that

Angela Merkel Lectures Trump on 'Unjustified' Migrant Pause

The German Chancellor has lectured President Donald J. Trump on his order pausing immigration from some terror-linked states, claiming it is “not justified”.

Mr. Trump and Angela Merkel held an “extensive phone conversation” over the weekend, the Associated Press reports, and according to the Chancellor’s spokesman, she took it upon herself to attack the president’s policies and “explain” elements of the post-war Refugee Convention to the president.

Steffen Seibert said in a statementreleased the day after the phone conversation: “The chancellor regrets the entry ban imposed by the U.S. government on refugees and nationals from certain countries.

“She is convinced that even the necessarily resolute battle against terrorism does not justify placing people from a certain origin or belief under general suspicion,” he said.

Mr. Seibert continued: “The Geneva Refugee Convention requires the international community to take in refugees of war on humanitarian grounds. All signatory states are obligated to do so.

“The Chancellor explained this policy to the U.S. president in their phone call yesterday.”

The German government “will now examine the consequences” of the ban for German citizens with dual nationality affected by the decision, he added.

A joint statement from Germany’s new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sigmar Gabriel, and his Dutch colleague, Bert Koenders, reiterated the condemnation.

The “travel ban based on nationality or religion is not the right instrument in the fight [against] terror”, the men said, adding: “It is not our policy in Europe to stigmatise people because of origin or religion.”
On Friday, Mr. Trump ordered a four-month pause on allowing migrants into the U.S. from a list of countries linked to terror compiled by the Obama administration.

The new president has been highly critical of Mrs. Merkel’s open door policy towards migrants, whereby more than a million unchecked and irregular persons entered Germany last year.

He described Mrs. Merkel as the “person who is ruining Germany” in a Tweet during the presidential campaign and has cited her lax approach to migration as helping drive the Brexit vote and rise of populism in Europe.
