Shade structure is not required at all. California has also been experimenting with floating plastic "shade balls" in the water.

Privacy experts are raising concerns after a Winnipeg bar flagged a woman as a nationwide public safety concern through its ID scanning system, which led to her being denied entry to a Calgary Stampede venue in July.

Alexandra, a Montreal-based lawyer, went to the Riverside bar in St. Vital on June 6, where a person working security scanned her driver's licence at the door using a Patronscan ID scanner.

Alexandra soon learned the Winnipeg bar is part of Patronscan's flag network, a system the Calgary-based platform uses to alert other venues about problematic people.

99% of bike fatalities involve car crashes. There is no styrofoam helmet which will protect against that, and the VaTech test notably does not model that type of crash.

To my knowledge, the only group that tried to test bike helmets against a car is Volvo -- and all helmets failed.

My son took CS10 a couple years ago, and even I (Masters in EECS from UCB) struggled with some really obtuse multiple-guess questions he showed me on the homeworks. Much of the classwork is done in Snap, a weird and stupid graphical "programming" language. If 1/3 of the students are failing, that may have more to do with the professor.

Enterprise Mac still has occasional problems -- mainly due to Microsoft crapware IT departments insist on installing.
