Smart growth is an urban planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in compact walkable urban centers to avoid sprawl. It also advocates compact, transit-oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, including neighborhood schools, complete streets, and mixed-use development with a range of housing choices. The term 'smart growth' is particularly used in North America. In Europe and particularly the UK, the terms 'Compact City' or 'urban intensification' have often been used to describe similar concepts, which have influenced government planning policies in the UK, the Netherlands and several other European countries.
Smart growth values long-range, regional considerations of sustainability over a short-term focus. Its sustainable development goals are to achieve a unique sense of community and place; expand the range of transportation, employment, and housing choices; equitably distribute the costs and benefits of development; preserve and enhance natural and cultural resources; and promote public health.

Crash Course (also known as Driving Academy) is a 1988 made for television teen film directed by Oz Scott.
Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.
The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.
In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus a scalar quantity. The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero.
Like velocity, speed has the dimensions of a length divided by a time; the SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
The fastest possible speed at which energy or information can travel, according to special relativity, is the speed of light in a vacuum c = 7008299792458000000♠299792458 metres per second (approximately 7008299722222222222♠1079000000 km/h or 7008299963840000000♠671000000 mph). Matter cannot quite reach the speed of light, as this would require an infinite amount of energy. In relativity physics, the concept of rapidity replaces the classical idea of speed.

The disappearing-message app Snapchat is being redesigned in an attempt to reach a broader audience. Snap Inc. is going back to the drawing board after being clobbered by Wall Street for another quarter of slowing user growth. The California-based firm, which had the hottest debut of any tech stock in years in March, reported revenue and user growth for the third quarter well below Wall Street expectations as it struggles to compete in the social media market. The disappointing financials and announcement of the redesign sent shares down as much as 20 percent in after-hours trading. Chief Executive Evan Spiegel said the company was launching the redesign after hearing for years that Snapchat was difficult to understand or hard to use. He said that there was a “strong likelihood” the redesi...

The government may need some new tools in its arsensal to jump start the economy. Recent figures show that its current stimulus plans haven′t been as effective as hoped, meaning Asia′s fourth largest economy might be facing a difficult road ahead. Shin Se-min reports. Korea′s consumer prices grew in the zero-percent range again in July, unchanged from the previous month. Data from Statistics Korea show that consumer prices grew zero-point-seven percent last month, and the figure has been below the one-percent range since late last year. Factor in a recent cigarette price hike that took effect at the beginning of this year, and consumer prices have been actually dropping by a larger margin. The agency attributed the low growth to low global oil prices and a reduction in consumer utility pr...

This panel explores the major shift of archives from analog to digital by museums, historians and artists. The acceleration of technology in relationship to the slow pace of preservation—defined as the Digital Dark Age—raises concerns about the possibility of losing vital information in both mediums. What can artists do to prepare for a future that may lack written records? Is this, in fact, a real threat? How can institutions work together to develop long-term options where digital archives can be developed and managed in a forward-looking way? Glenn R.

China took a bold action on Tuesday, resulting in the biggest one-day drop in the value of its currency since a massive devaluation in 1994. The country devalued the Yuan by 1.9% -- a fall it said was due to changes aimed at making the way it sets exchange rates more market-oriented. It comes just after new data released showed a weakening of trade in the world’s second largest economy. Ameera David weighs in. Then, Ameera is joined by CCTV business reporter Shraysi Tandon.

This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and m...
In most advanced economies productivity growth has been appreciably slower in the years after the financial crisis than it had been earlier. The difference was particularly marked in the United Kingdom, although the most recent data suggest that productivity growth has resumed, at least in the short term.
