Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
Who could possibly be in pole position?
by Gavin LaneWhen it comes to kart racers, there's one undisputed king of the crop on Nintendo systems, and we're not talking Crash Bandicoot. Let's not kid ourselves here - we all know what's sitting at number one on the list below of the best kart racers on Nintendo Switch. With a record like Shumacher in his prime, it's a wonder that any other racers bother to turn up to the track at all with a certain moustachioed plumber so far ahead of the pack.
Still, there are plenty of kart racers on the Switch starting grid, and while the winner might be a foregone conclusion, there's plenty of drama to enjoy in the lower ranks. Therefore, we've assembled this ranked list of the best kart racing games on Switch to help you sort the promising upstarts from the total non-starters.
If you've got racing in your veins, be sure to check out out selection of the best Nintendo Switch racing games (with or without a kart) and find out how many of the kart racers below survive against the more serious racers on Switch.
So, start your engines and prepare yourself for the best kart racing games on Nintendo Switch, presented in descending order...
11. Garfield Kart Furious Racing (Switch)
Publisher: Microids / Developer: Microids
Release Date: 19th Nov 2019 (USA) / 7th Nov 2019 (UK/EU)
Kicking things off with a real hairball, we always knew Garfield was something of a rebel, but taking a bad six-year-old game, making it even worse to play, pretending it’s a sequel and charging Switch owners more than double the price to suffer it is some pretty subversive stuff. The original Garfield Kart is extremely cheap on Steam: considering Garfield Kart Furious Racing is a more broken version of the same game, you might as well buy that instead. Even if you don’t have a PC, you’ll have wasted less money.
Garfield Kart: Furious Racing
10. Nickelodeon Kart Racers (Switch)
Publisher: GameMill Entertainment / Developer: Bamtang
Release Date: 23rd Oct 2018 (USA) / 23rd Oct 2018 (UK/EU)
There are far worse games out there than Nickelodeon Kart Racers, but there are far better ones as well. Given the tremendous opportunity represented by this IP, it’s hard not to be disappointed by the state of Nickelodeon Kart Racers; with more attention to quality and another year of development, this could’ve possibly been a compelling alternative to Mario Kart. Unfortunately, Nickelodeon Kart Racers is simply not good; derivative mechanics, a pathetic character roster and awful performance make this a bargain bin experience that you’ll be glad you missed. If you absolutely have to play a racing game with Nickelodeon characters, then by all means, go ahead, but we’d highly recommend you take a pass on this sorry effort.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers
9. Hello Kitty Kruisers (Switch)
Publisher: Rising Star Games / Developer: Maestro Interactive
Release Date: 24th Apr 2018 (USA) / 26th Apr 2018 (UK/EU)
We like Hello Kitty as much as the next guy, but unless the next guy's 7 years old they're not going to be able to squeeze much fun out of Hello Kitty Kruisers. Nothing it does is particularly terrible (other than its odd drifting mechanic), but everything's so slow and so easy that a huge proportion of the Hello Kitty fanbase will be bored to tears within the two short hours it takes to unlock everything. Cats and karts seem to be an unpredictable mix, that's for sure.
Hello Kitty Kruisers
8. Race With Ryan (Switch)
Publisher: Outright Games / Developer: Undefined
Release Date: 1st Nov 2019 (USA) / 1st Nov 2019 (UK/EU)
Putting our opinion on the cynical Ryan phenomenon to one side, Race With Ryan is nevertheless a slightly below-average kart racer that handles reasonably well but generally underwhelms, from the pitifully small number of tracks to the uninspired, floaty-light weaponry.
Race with Ryan
7.  It's not going to trouble the kart-racing big boys, and the visual feedback is lacking when it comes to using projectile items, but drifting is fun and if for some reason you're bored of the obvious Nintendo-branded alternative and you see this cheap, you could do a lot worse. The 2-player mode may keep you occupied for a while after the campaign's over and, generic presentation aside, we certainly didn't have a bad time in the company of these felines (which can't be said for Garfield or Hello Kitty), even if we knew we could be having it so much better elsewhere.
6. All-Star Fruit Racing (Switch)
Publisher: PQube / Developer: 3D Clouds.it
Release Date: 21st Aug 2018 (USA) / 13th Jul 2018 (UK/EU)
All-Star Fruit Racing takes a unique karting weapon system, throws it into a blender with some cute presentation ideas and an unfortunate series of technical annoyances, and ends up with a pretty mixed bag as a result. This is a competent racer, and there’s just about enough content to make you want to keep playing, but it never realises the potential that it could have had and doesn’t really stand up to the heights that other titles can offer. It’s just a little on the weak side to justify its asking price, so bear that in mind before jumping into a fruity purchase.
All-Star Fruit Racing
5.  A slight lack of content and a less-than-perfect overall quality prevent it from being something worth shouting about, however, so you might want to consider your options before jumping in with an immediate purchase.
4. Beach Buggy Racing (Switch eShop)
Publisher: Vector Unit / Developer: Vector Unit
Release Date: 14th Sep 2017 (USA) / 14th Sep 2017 (UK/EU)
Beach Buggy Racing is a decent kart-racer; the driving is fun, the items are bonkers, and you’ll likely be playing it for some time. Perhaps enjoyed best in small bursts, and without the expectation of it being a mega-serious racer, the game does offer some easy-to-play fun for both solo players and groups of family or friends. It can’t steal Mario Kart’s pole position and it suffers from a couple of little niggles but for a fraction of the price it does offer an acceptable alternative.
3. Team Sonic Racing (Switch)
Publisher: SEGA / Developer: Sumo Digital
Release Date: 21st May 2019 (USA) / 21st May 2019 (UK/EU)
Taken on its own merits, Team Sonic Racing is a fun karting game that doesn’t quite match Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in terms of either performance or sheer level of content, but still offers satisfying handling and should still keep Sonic fans entertained for a while. It’s impossible not to compare it to its predecessor, though, and in all the areas where Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed excelled, Team Sonic Racing is merely competent. By no means a bad game, then, but when we look back years from now it won’t be standing on any karting game podiums.
Team Sonic Racing
2. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (Switch)
Publisher: Activision / Developer: Beenox
Release Date: 21st Jun 2019 (USA) / 21st Jun 2019 (UK/EU)
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a visually phenomenal upgrade on a PlayStation karting classic, and one that faithfully recreates both its positives (its unique drift boosting system) and its potential irritants (30fps, tricky AI). It does bring a whole new set of issues – mainly lengthy loading times and the fact that playing offline stops you making any progress towards unlocking anything – but while these prevent the game from becoming an absolute must-have, they don’t sour the experience enough to stop us wholeheartedly recommending it regardless.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
Publisher: Nintendo / Developer: Nintendo
Release Date: 28th Apr 2017 (USA) / 28th Apr 2017 (UK/EU)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe delivers a huge amount of racing goodness right out of the box, and it's a polished version of a Wii U entry that was only a proper Battle Mode away from being top of class. Now that issue has been addressed, what we have is arguably the best Mario Kart release ever seen. It's the definitive Mario Kart 8 experience, content-rich and a delightful feast of comedic, cartoonish karting action. It's a game that continually raises a smile and, occasionally, induces that trademark Mario Kart rage as shells strike and positions are lost. It's addictive and unifying, unfiltered fun that draws in anyone daring enough to take up the wheel.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
What do you mean you knew Mario Kart would be at number 1?  Yes, the winner was never in doubt, but as you can see there are several alternatives if you ever get bored of the same dude winning the race over and over again. Let us know how this grid of competitors stacks up for you with a comment below.


Angry note left on ambulance parked outside someone's house
Someone wasn't happy their drive was blocked while medics did their job
by Neil ShawA paramedic responding to an emergency returned to her ambulance to find a rude not stuck to the window - ranting that she had blocked someone's driveway.
Lauren Wheeler posted a picture of the abusive message to Facebook.
 Either ask or f***ing come out when we beep the horn for 10 minutes."

 and another wrote: "Wow, really got time to knock and ask or just pop out while possibly trying to save someone’s life!"
A third added: "He may need you one day!!!"
The incident is believed to have happened in Southend-on-Sea.
In August, an abusive note was left on the windscreen of an ambulance parked in Luton calling the paramedics “blind idiots”.
In December last year, an ambulance in Manchester was left with an abusive note filled with expletives.
A North West Ambulance Service spokeswoman said "our patients are our number one priority".

One year ago today, I launched OPRAmachine, and it has been making a significant impact on all levels of New Jersey government since its inception.
OPRAmachine began with a simple premise: to maximize government transparency in New Jersey by automatically publishing public records requests & responses.
The site’s unique approach to public records helps individuals get answers to their personal OPRA requests, but also serves the entire community by contributing to a growing statewide archive of public knowledge.
Public records that normally would have been provided to just one requestor are now stored in perpetuity and infinitely accessible to others that may have an interest in them using the service, something that proprietary solutions like GovQA fail to adequately do.
New Jersey is a state that has been known for its many layers of government, with 565 municipalities and countless school districts, MUAs and other independent authorities. OPRAmachine makes navigating the various layers of government simple for both those new to requesting public records and those with experience.
Rather than hunting for email addresses on town websites or dealing with poorly designed online systems that are relics of a bygone era in web design, OPRAmachine is realizing the dream of a single, unified & open platform for transparency in all 21 counties of the state.
I first came up with the idea of creating a site like OPRAmachine in late 2016 and began working on testing and customizing the open-source code that powers the site throughout 2017. By October of last year, we pulled back the curtain and let the public start making requests.
The early days of the site were wrought with technical challenges, and high demand in the first weeks resulted in OPRAmachine’s server being brought down multiple times. After overcoming those initial challenges, we were proud to have no major downtime during business hours that would have prevented responses to public records requests being received by our server.
Since October, 2017, OPRAmachine has seen:- 3090 public records requests
- 2215 followup messages sent
- 424 registered users
- 938 public bodies
- 115 annotations added to requests
- 259 tracked requests
In the days and months that followed the launch, the site has since taken on a life of its own, and I continue to be impressed by the new use cases that have emerged as more people began to adopt the site.
We have an incredible, diverse group of users who have benefitted from the site. Our users represent a cross-section of the stakeholders that benefits from increased access to public information.
They include attorneys, traditional & digital journalists, college professors, real estate & property management professionals, public officials, private investigators, environmental consultants and perhaps most importantly, private citizens interested in learning more about the inner workings of their state & local government.
Some of our users have benefitted from OPRAmachine without even making a request of their own. Some receive email alerts for specific towns and keywords found in requests, while our full collection of documents is indexed by search engines like Google and often appears in their results.
Whatever their individual use case may be, the common thread among them has been that our paperless, streamlined process has simplified the public records request process while saving time & resources for all concerned.
OPRAmachine could not have seen the level of success that it has without the support it has received from our stakeholders & community. I’d like to thank all of our users, especially our most persistent requestors as well as our volunteer administrator, Jeff Epstein, who has handled many issues with the site & inquiries from users when I am unavailable.
I would also like to thank the government officials that have had a dialogue with me in the course of running the service & dealing with administrative issues. I found it heartening that many of the township clerks I engaged with appreciated the mission of the site and the increased transparency it provides residents.
Also deserving of recognition is our legal counsel, CJ Griffin, Esq. and Walter Luers, Esq. They have both been tremendous assets and we would be at a significant disadvantage without their expertise.
While I am optimistic about the success we have attained in just one short year, there are some significant hurdles that we still must overcome to ensure the continued success of OPRAmachine. Going forward, the challenge will be to educate certain reactionary government officials about the benefits of the service and advocating for legislative reform that favors electronic disclosure.
It is my goal to work with government agencies as much as we can, but when all else fails, we will pursue litigation against those government agencies that arbitrarily & unlawfully refuse to process requests on the basis that they are submitted through the site, and encourage our users to do the same.
In closing, we’ve covered a lot of ground during the first year of OPRAmachine’s existence, but our work is far from over. Thank you all of those who have supported us on this journey.

Vision
As a manager
I want project reporting
so that I can review progress and bottle-necks
A project overview is available by using a set of internally generated reports. As uSDLC support agile development practice, reports measure discovery as well as progress to provide more information on completion than agile alone can provide.


Reports from the course
S01
Did you before know about the techniques Git, GitHub, Markdown and/or GitHub Pages?
I had worked in Github before, but mainly in the desktop version of it. So Git bash and all the commands were a bit new for me. Markdown and Github pages had I never worked with before. We have had a couple of courses where we used Git, and I have always found it a bit tricky and hard to manage. So hopefully this time it will be a different experience for me, considering I am using Git Bash.
Have you ever created websites before?
I have worked a bit with client and server in the course network applications so I know a bit about setting up a server. But i have never tried making a website or worked with websites before. So this will probably be a fun challenge working with some new languages.
Briefly explain your experience and knowledge of web application development.
As written above, I had some experience of web application development in a previous course. But other than that, this is pretty new for me. I know some stuff about it like Websockets and Restful APIs, but I have never worked with Visual Studio Code or anything like that before.
What is your TIL for this course section?
My TIL for this course section is mainly some new commands in Git Bash. I learned about the Github Pages aswell as some new commands in Git Bash such as tags. I also learned how to manage this program I am writing this in, Visual Studio Code. Other than that, I also learned about how to use links in the index.html to get to other html files.
S02
Have you any previous experience of HTML, CSS and/or JavaScript?
No I do not have any previous experience of any of these 3 languages. So hopefully I will master all of them during this course.
Explain the role of HTML, CSS and JavaScript in web development.
I can try to explain with an example: HTML: Human body comprising bones, it is the skeleton and flesh. CSS: This is the accessories like clothes, make-up and glasses. Things that makes you look extra good. JavaScript: Everything involving your movement, how you laugh and run for example. So basically you will need all of these three to work properly as a human being. And it works the same in web development. For example if you dont have JavaScript, you will have clothes and a body but you cannot do anything. And if you dont have CSS, you will not have any clothes or accessories, that is kind of wierd. And if you dont have HTML, your clothes and accessories are useless because you dont have a body to put them on.
Give a brief explanation of how the browser, the HTTP protocol and the web server interacts.
A browser communicates with the web server trough HTTP protocol. If a browser wants to return something to the web server, a picture for example, it makes a HTTP request to a web server. And then the server returns the request.
What is your TIL for this course section?
My TIL for this course section is: I learned how to work with pictures in visual studio code. I learned how change background color for my different pages on my web site. I also learned how to change fonts in my web site.
S03
Do you have any previous experience of client side Javascript?
I have never worked with javascript before, so therefore my experience with it is very minor. But I have worked with client and server side applications before, so therefore I know a bit about how to handle the client side.
Can you compare and relate the Javascript language to any other language you know?
Yes, I have almost only worked with Java before. And after working with JavaScript now it feels like the 2 languages are very similar. I understand most of the code and variables in JavaScript, so it seems like a good language to start working with after working in Java.
Describe how you worked with the coding exercise, what grade do you aim for and how did your code turn out to be?
I actually started this coding exercise with creating the duck. I coded a duck that move to the right when you click on it. I decided to start with this because I felt I needed more knowledge about the fetch-part before i could start working with it. When I had gathered some information regarding the fetch, I started by doing a table in my js-file. I had some struggles with the fetch part, but I looked at the code in examples and got some help from there. Because I hade some struggles with the fetch I only did the requirements for grade 3, but if I get some more time with it I will try to expand it.
What is your TIL for this course section?
First of all i learned how to make a movable object in javascript, using an eventlistener. I learned about the fetch command, which i had some issues with. And in the fetch-part I also learned how to create a HTML-table and style it. I also learned more about how json works.
S04
Tell me about your previous experience on node/npm or any equal programming tools.
I have very little experience in node and npm. I have never worked with it before so therefore I had some troubles understanding it at first.
How do you feel about working with JavaScript, Node and Express?
So far I have learned a lot in this course and it has been very nice working with JavaScript. Node and Express have I only worked with a little bit now in this section, but so far it has been pleaseant. And hopefully it will continue to run smooth in future sections.
Explain how you did take on the coding assignment, did you have a plan and did it work?
I started with doing the tasks before the actual coding exercise, installed Node and npm and got familiar with it. Then I completed the Express application with help from the example folder. Then it was time to make the lottery-game. I searched after some insipiration online and found some good tips and tricks before I started coding myself. This assignment went well and without any big issues.
What grade did you aim for and was it a difficult level?
I only did the requirements for grade 3. I started trying with the grade 4 requirements but decided not to proceed with it because it got to difficult for me. I felt that grade 3 was a pretty easy level considering you hade most of the code for it.
What is your TIL for this course section?
Considering I never worked with node and npm before thats one thing i learned. I also learned how to work with Express.

Scalar types are sometimes called simple or primitive types. The non-scalar types are strings, sets, arrays, records, unions and in OOT char(n). They are defined using scalar types. Scalar types are passed by value to parameters, while non-scalars are passed by reference (by passing an implicit pointer to the non-scalar value).
Description
In current Turing implementations scalar types are directly represented in 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes in a computer's memory. This implies that they can be efficiently passed by value.

CRM & Sales Tracking
IBM is ditching Siebel CRM in favour of SugarCRM. Cloud based CRM was made popular by Salesforce while Zoho wants a share of the pie too.
All to often CRM offers or is used as sales force automation tool, which it is not (only). But what makes a good CRM? It needs to provide access to anything that relates to a customer. Doh - that's what the name claims.
In larger organisations CRM typically is understood very narrowly as sales tracking tool, the broader definition as outlined above gets covered by a combination of Portal on the front (a.k.a glass level) and master data management ( MDM). Smaller organisations don't have that luxury. There an integrated system makes most sense.
Now guess on what platform those have been built. A little selection (in no specific order and not complete):

'NCP-Cong, pre-poll allies support idea of forming govt with Sena': Jayant Patil
Congress and NCP's pre-poll allies include Peasants and Workers Party, Samajwadi Party and Swabhimani Paksha.
by PTIMumbai: NCP leader Jayant Patil on Friday said the smaller pre-poll allies of his party and the Congress have backed the idea of forming a government with the Shiv Sena to keep the BJP away from power in the state.
"Our pre-poll allies have supported the idea of forming a government in Maharashtra to keep the BJP away from power," Patil, who was accompanied by senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan, told reporters after the meeting here.
The Sena, NCP and Congress are currently working out modalities for formation of a government in the state, which has been under President's rule since November 12.
Congress and NCP's pre-poll allies include Peasants and Workers Party, Samajwadi Party and Swabhimani Paksha.
The state was plunged into a political crisis after the Sena broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the latter declined to share the chief minister's post.
The BJP and Sena, which fought the Assembly polls in alliance, had secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats, respectively, in the 288-member Assembly.
The NCP and the Congress, pre-poll allies, won 54 and 44 seats, respectively.

Kahina for QType Tutorial Part 6: Defining Projects and Behavior
This tutorial presupposes that you have worked through QTypeTutorial5. It represents your last essential step towards complete knowledge of Kahina's core components. You will learn how to create and administer projects, how to handle control agent profiles, and how to define your own control agents by editing sensors in the control agent profile editor. For reasons of brevity, we will refrain from giving complete example walkthroughs throughout this tutorial. Instead, the reader is expected to put the freshly acquired knowledge into practice by playing around with the new concepts and features.
Creating a New Project
While the previous tutorials were built on predefined projects, you will now learn how to create a new project from scratch. Minimally, a QType project consists of a path to a QType grammar file and a string identifier. You will be required to specify both as soon as you start creating a new project by clicking on the menu item Project -> New Project. First, you will be asked to enter a name for the project in a simple prompt. Then, a file chooser allows you to select the grammar file the project will refer to.
In this tutorial, it will not be relevant which name or grammar file you choose here. In the screenshots, we simply took one of the largest grammars distributed with QType: an HPSG fragment implemented by Petra Barg which provides lexical entries for some aspects of human physiology, and which resides in the grammar file hpsg_test.qrm in the GRM folder of your QType distribution. Whichever grammar file you choose, you have just created a (trivial) new QType project, on which we will now build to learn how the most relevant parts of a project can be modified.
Saving and Loading Projects
To make it possible to restore a project, it needs to be stored in a project configuration file. For the moment, projects are stored in a rather ad-hoc XML format in order to make project properties easily editable from outside Kahina. Saving a project works via the Project -> Save Project As ... menu option. Selecting this menu entry will open a standard save file dialogue. We recommend giving the project file the suffix ".xml", although this is not strictly necessary. Project files can be stored anywhere you find it convenient, but in most cases you will want to put project files into a new folder in the directory where your grammar files reside.
In the current version, not all project properties can be edited from inside Kahina once a project was created. If you want to change the name of a project or the path to the grammar file after you created it, you will need to manually edit the project file instead. For this reason, we now have a quick look at the structure of the project files. If you open the project file in your favourite XML or text editor, you will see that the root element kahina:project has two relevant attributes. The kahina:appid attribute needs to have the value qtype for any QType project, since it is used by Kahina's project loader to ensure that the project was defined for the correct application. The kahina:name attribute stores the name of the project. At the moment, it should have the value you specified when you created the project. If you want to rename the project, you can change the value of this attribute to any other string.
The root element contains a kahina:mainFile child element, which stores the path to the grammar file in its only attribute kahina:path. The value of this attribute should be the absolute path of the grammar file you specified when you created the project. The kahina:path attribute also supports relative paths, but Kahina's save project option will always spell out the absolute path to the grammar file in the project file it creates. If you want to make project files portable, you need to manually edit the kahina:path values for now.
The project XML file contains two other major parts. The contents of the kahina:perspective element determines the layout and behavior of the various view components, representing an entire window arrangement as well as view configurations just as explained in the upcoming QTypeTutorial7?. The kahina:controlAgentProfiles element allows you to store control agent profiles together with the project. These settings are normally handled from inside Kahina as described in the next section.
To load a saved project from a file, Kahina provides the menu entry Project -> Open Project -> Load Project .... A standard file chooser dialogue will appear, allowing you to select the project file to be loaded. Project import is not yet very robust against invalid project files, so you best pay some attention to avoid accidentally loading a file which is not in the Kahina for QType project XML format, as unpredictable behavior such as crashes can result.
Once the project file was successfully loaded, you will see that the compile option in the grammar menu gets activated. If you have defined a project for our large example grammar, be warned that skipping over the compilation might take quite some time. Even in skip mode, you can still determine the progress of the compilation via QType's console output which still appears on the console from which you started Kahina.
Handling Control Agent Profiles
Projects would not be of much use if their only purpose were to assign some name to a grammar file. As you have seen in QTypeTutorial4 and QTypeTutorial5, projects can also define control agent profiles to influence tracing behavior. Note that in the current version of Kahina, the current project settings will not automatically be saved to the project file if you close Kahina. Therefore, if you want to keep control agents across sessions, you will need to explicitly save the project to an XML file again. If you do so, any control agents defined will be stored in the kahina:controlAgentProfiles element of the project XML file.
It is of course possible to define an entirely new set of control agents for each new project. However, you will often need standard sets of control agents which would be tedious to define multiple times. Such commonly used agents can be grouped together stored in separate control agent profile files. QType is distributed with some profile files which provide us with commonly used agents. Let us see how we can load these predefined profiles using the example of the creep agent profile. Agent profiles can be loaded via the Load button in the leftmost panel of each control agent profile editor instance. Switch to the creep agent profile, and click on this button:
This will open a standard open file dialogue. The predefined control agent profiles reside in the kahina-settings/agents directory of your QType distribution. Let us open the predefined creep agent profile by opening the file creep-agent-profile-standard.xml.
After opening the file, you should see the two familiar creep agents from QTypeTutorial4 appear in the control agent list. Selecting the one named creep db_rule, you see that the sensor is defined in exactly the same way as in the tutorial project. Note that the the actuators are not specified in control agent profile files, the behavior of your agents will depend on the control agent profile editor instance into which they are loaded.
You may want to repeat this process by also loading the standard skip agent and complete agent profiles. If you find this process too tedious, it is also possible to add all three standard control agent profiles to your project by copying the kahina:controlAgentProfiles element from the tutorial project into your project XML file.
Sometimes you load some standard control agent profile, but only need some of the predefined agents, or you accidentally create one agent too much. As an example, assume you have loaded the standard skip agent profile, but you decide that you will never want to skip over executions of the mgu predicate.
In such cases, you can remove a control agent from a profile via the agent list's context menu. Select the agent you want to remove, and open its context menu with a right click. The menu will contain a Remove option, which you can click to remove the agent. At the moment, no confirmation of this action is required, so be careful with using this option.
After the agent's removal, our skip agent profile has only one skip agent left:
If you know that you will need your current control agent profile in other projects as well, you can also create your own control agent profile files. From inside Kahina, this is done via the Save button in the leftmost panel of the control agent profile editor:
Again, you will see a standard save file dialogue. Since control agent profiles are stored in another XML format, we recommend the .xml extension for these files as well. Let us store the modified skip agent profile under a new name in the kahina-settings/agents directory:
This will create a new control agent profile file which can be loaded in exactly the same way as the predefined ones.
Defining Simple Sensors
So far, you have only learned how to group together predefined control agents. In QTypeTutorial5, you have created control points, but you do not yet know how to create other types of control agents. This functionality is what we will introduce in the remaining two sections of this tutorial. For a start, it is important to note that when you create a new control agent, you will in fact only define a sensor, the actuator will already be defined by the control agent profile as part of which you create the new agent.
We will now learn how to define control agents of the type you have seen in the predefined control agent profiles. To create such an agent, you need to click on the New button above the list of control agents in the tab of the desired actuator type. Let us do this for a new break agent:
You will see a new entry in the control agent list, with a name consisting of "Control agent" and the number which is used for internal identification. Select the new break agent, and you will see some content in the sensor editor panel to the right of the agent list:
Apart from the hint panel which will try to make helpful suggestions while you are editing the sensor pattern, the sensor editor consists of a boolean operations panel which you will later need for defining complex patterns, and the pattern panel which currently only displays an empty elementary pattern. An elementary pattern consists of a pattern type, a relation and a value. A typical pattern type builds on a specific step property, and the pattern so defined is checked by the sensor by determining whether the step's property value stands in the specified relation to the pattern's value. The available relations are different for numeric and string-based step properties, meaning that the three parts of an elementary pattern should be defined from left to right.
So let us begin to define our first elementary pattern. For the pattern type, we have the choice between a pattern referring to a step's label, and a pattern referring to a step's ascending numerical ID. For the moment, let us choose the first variant by clicking on the first chooser in the elementary pattern, and selecting the step label option:
This pattern type gives us a choice between different string relations for the pattern. These range from string equality to pattern matching against a full-blown regular expression. Here, we will select the relation you will probably use most often: the contains relation provides a simple way to check whether a step relates to some Prolog predicate.
As the last step, we click into the third chooser to define the pattern's value. Unlike for the other parts of the pattern, we are allowed to enter any string here. Let us enter the string "db_rule" in order for our sensor to match any step whose label contains that string.
From now on, this newly defined break agent will cause leap operations to pause whenever an instance of db_rule/4 is called. Note that this type of pattern is more general than that of a control point, as it matches all calls to the db_rule/4 predicate, not only the ones associated with a given source code line.
The predefined control agents of previous chapters had informative names in order to make them easier to identify on the message console. But the control agent we just defined still has the not very helpful name "Control Agent 4". In the last tutorial, you have already seen how control agents can be renamed via the context menu. Alternatively, Kahina offers the option of generating a name which represents the defined sensor pattern. This option is also accessible via the context menu, via a menu entry called Suggest Name:
A click on this menu entry will replace the control agent's name with a concise, but full description of the sensor. Note that the suggested name "ca.contains(db_rule)" informs us about the type ("ca" stands for "caption"), the relation, and the value of the sensor's pattern, but it does not tell us anything about the agent's actuator. This is sensible because the agent type can be seen as part of the console messages anyway. However, you might still want to give your new control agent a different name, as the auto-generated names may be too long or appear too much like terms of a programming language.
Defining Complex Sensors
Now that you know how to define elementary patterns for creating custom sensors, it is time to advance to the possibilities for defining more complex sensors. The most important mechanism offered by the current version of Kahina for this purpose consists in boolean combinations of elementary patterns. The sensor editor panel includes a simple, yet powerful editor for manipulating such boolean combinations.
To get to know this editor, we first learn how to add additional elementary patterns. This is done by clicking on the add pattern button marked with a green plus sign next to an existing elementary pattern:
This will add a new pattern definition just below the one where you clicked the add pattern button. Note that to the left of the two definition lines, a node marked with a logical AND symbol connects the two squares protruding from the definition lines. This is the way in which the sensor editor displays the tree of boolean connectives over the elementary patterns. Kahina enforces that multiple elementary patterns are always connected by a tree structure, such that the contents of the sensor editor define a valid step pattern at any point. By default, elementary patterns are connected via conjunction.
Just like the single definition line of a newly created sensor, the new pattern definition line contains the three choosers for pattern type, relation, and value. In our example, we again choose the type step label and the relation contains. For the value, we choose db_word, so that your first complex pattern will match steps whose label contains both the string db_rule and the string db_word:
This is of course not a very useful pattern. We want the pattern to match occurrences of both predicates, so what we need is a disjunction, not a conjunction, of the two elementary patterns we have defined. Changing the type of a binary connective is very simple and can be done with a few clicks. First, you need to select the connective whose type you want to change, which will cause the node and its outgoing edges to be highlighted in red:
In this state, you can change the type of the connective by clicking again on the selected node. The first click will transform the conjunction into the desired disjunction, the AND symbol is replaced by an OR symbol on the connective:
This modified pattern does exactly what we want. You may want to try clicking on the connective node again to shuffle through the other types of binary connectives available. Note that the implication occurs in two variants because of its non-commutative nature. After three clicks, you should be back at the AND operator, and one more click brings you back to the disjunction.
To demonstrate the more advanced features for editing boolean combinations of elementary patterns, we need at least three elementary patterns. Let us add another elementary pattern, a constraint on the ID range of matching steps. Click on the plus symbol again to add another pattern, and select step id as the pattern type and >= as the relation. With the value 500, the pattern will match steps whose internal ID is larger or equal to 500.
Note that the new elementary pattern was connected to the existing disjunction by a new top-level conjunction. This is the predefined behavior because we assume that in most cases, you will add new elementary patterns in contexts where you want to impose additional constraints. We are considering to make this behavior user-configurable in future versions of Kahina.
The sensor we have just built matches any step which involves one of the predicates db_rule/4 and db_word/4 after the 500th step. Such a breakpoint would be useful if you already know the first steps of a trace very well because you explored it multiple times, and you only want to leap through the occurrences of the two predicates in the later parts of the trace which you haven't seen so often.
Assume that you nevertheless want to shift your attention back to db_rule and db_word occurrences early in the trace. In this situation like in many others, you will find it desirable to express negation in step patterns you define. This will be our first case for the boolean operations panel in the upper-left corner of the sensor editor. Negation is a simple use case because it is a unary operation for which only one argument needs to be specified. To negate the third elementary pattern, we first select the corresponding node in the boolean structure by clicking on the little square protruding from the respective line, causing it to be highlighted in red.
If you now click on the not button in the boolean operations panel, you will see that a new unary node is inserted above the elementary pattern, with the negation sign displayed on it. As you might expect, the resulting pattern matches all calls to db_rule or db_word with step IDs lower than 500.
We will now learn how to restructure a complex pattern by reshaping the tree of boolean connectives. Assume you have decided that the current bracketing of the three elementary conditions is wrong, and that you want the step ID constraint to only apply to the db_word calls. In this situation, you would want to reshape the tree by introducing a new binary operation which connects the second and the third elementary pattern.
Such binary connectives are introduced in infix style by selecting the first argument, clicking on the button for the desired operator in the boolean operations panel, and selecting the second argument. In our example, we first need to select the second elementary pattern:
If you now click on the and button in the boolean operations panel, the pattern editor assumes that you want to establish a conjunction between the selected node and a second node which still needs to be specified. The hint panel therefore prompts you to select a second child for the new conjunction node.
If you now click on the negation node, you will see that a new conjunction node is created which groups together the second elementary pattern and the negated third pattern. At the same time, the disjunction which connected the first two pattern before has vanished. The dangling first pattern replaces the deleted disjunction node as the upper child of the topmost conjunction node. In this way, we arrive at a valid pattern even after an operation which destroyed parts of the boolean expression.
Note that the resulting pattern does not make much sense, since it requires the label of a matching step to contain both db_word and db_rule as substrings, which will not happen during the execution of any parse. To repair the pattern, you could e.g. click on the topmost connective to change it into a disjunction.
But let us instead assume that in this situation, you decide that you are not interested in applications of db_word/4 after all, but that you would still like to keep the constraint on the step number. The easiest way to make the corresponding edit is to remove the undesired elementary pattern by clicking on the remove button of that line, which is marked with a red cross:
You will observe that the elementary pattern you removed will vanish, and that the boolean connective it was part of rearranges to form a valid pattern. In this case, the boolean AND node which connected the second and the first pattern is removed together with the deleted elementary pattern:
As a rule, the pattern editor will always remove the lowest binary parent of the removed leaf node in the formula tree, and use the other child of the deleted parent to fill the gap in the grandparent connective. This behavior might take some time to get used to, but it makes the reshaping of boolean pattern combinations robust and fast.
Further Steps
You have now been introduced to all the essential components of Kahina for QType. What still remains open is the wide area of view layout customization and view options. An introduction to the concepts of Kahina's window manager and the principles of defining your own view and window arrangements will soon appear in the form of QTypeTutorial7?. For information about the configuration possibilities of individual view components, the reader is referred to the corresponding chapters of the forthcoming handbook.

Good evening,
I am planning to monitor the electrical consumption of a building in which there is one main fuse box and four to five secondary ones.
My purpose is to break down the consumption by rooms but I did not find a clear explanation of
> How many sensor can I connect to one main Arduino?
> Is it possible to connect all of the transmitter nodes through ethernet? The house in question doesn't use Wifi.
Thank you in advance for your kind guidance,
DRL
Re: Multiple fuse box within building
"How many sensor can I connect to one main Arduino?"
As many as there are analogue inputs to your Arduino. How many is sensible depends on how you want to monitor. If 'discrete sampling' is OK for you, then the realistic limit is probably around 25. If you want 'continuous' monitoring, then five is the realistic limit.
"Is it possible to connect all of the transmitter nodes through ethernet? The house in question doesn't use Wifi."
If you use the RFM69CW radio modules on your sensor nodes, those are not WiFi. You will in addition need an emonBase, which could be an emonPi, to receive the data and connect to the Internet.
Alternatively, you could use an Arduino with Ethernet as your sensor node.
Re: Multiple fuse box within building
Thank you for your reply!
If I understand correctly, one base can manage up to 25 CT sensors data in discrete sampling.
One arduino Uno has 6 analogs in therefore I can connect up to 6 CT sensors per board?
The thing I want to know is to identify sources of power loss. Compared to similar building, the one I need to monitor uses up to 200% more electricity. When I break down the usage per household items, I do not reach the total used.
Hence, would it be possible to monitor the overall consumption (continuous) as well as secondary units (discrete) in order to determine discrepancies?
Re: Multiple fuse box within building
"One arduino Uno has 6 analogs in therefore I can connect up to 6 CT sensors per board?"
Yes, but only if you're content to have an estimate of apparent power. If you want accurate real power readings, one of those inputs needs to be the line voltage (suitably transformed down of course), so it's 5 current plus 1 voltage.
"would it be possible to monitor the overall consumption (continuous) as well as secondary units (discrete) in order to determine discrepancies?"
Indeed it would be possible, but tricky to do both in one sketch, and there's little point. If your meter has a pulse output, it might be preferable to use that rather than measuring current and voltage.
You might like to look at the higher-powered Arduinos rather than the Uno, ones which have more analogue inputs. I'm no expert on Arduinos, there are better people around to advise you on that. Take a look here: http://boredomprojects.net/index.php/projects/home-energy-monitor
"one base can manage up to 25 CT sensors data in discrete sampling."
That's a guess based on the amount of time one channel takes to sample (200 ms) and how often you will want to sample (say every 10 s), leaving plenty of time for sending the data out and for serial monitoring. It's not a hard limit. If you do 25 channels in blocks of 5 (i.e. 5 Unos) and use the radios to communicate, then it's probably getting close to the point where it is probable that two will be transmitting at the same time and the data will be corrupted. It probably won't be a problem if they're all using Ethernet.
Which country are you in, and what's the mains electricity supply?
Re: Multiple fuse box within building
Thank you for your kind answers and my apologie for the delay.
I am from Belgium and the main electricity supply is three phases.
Re: Multiple fuse box within building
In that case, if you want accurate voltage readings, you should have one voltage input from each phase, but if the three phases are closely balanced, then you might have sufficient accuracy if you use the three-phase sketch. You might also consider using one Arduino per phase.

The Personal life about J.C. Leyendecker
Many biographers have speculated on J. C. Leyendecker's sexuality, often attributing the apparent homoerotic aesthetic of his work to a homosexual identity. Without question, Leyendecker excelled at depicting male homosocial spaces (locker rooms, clubhouses, tailoring shops) and extraordinarily handsome young men in curious poses or exchanging glances. Moreover, Leyendecker never married, and he lived with another man, Charles Beach, for much of his adult life, who is assumed to have been his lover and who was the original model of the famous Arrow Collar Man.
While Beach often organized the famous gala-like social gatherings that Leyendecker was known for in the 1920s, he apparently also contributed largely to Leyendecker's social isolation in his later years. Beach reportedly forbade outside contact with the artist in the last months of his life.
Due to his fame as an illustrator, Leyendecker was able to indulge in a very luxurious lifestyle which in many ways embodied the decadence of the Roaring Twenties. However, when commissions began to wane in the 1930s, he was forced to curtail spending considerably. By the time of his death, Leyendecker had let all of the household staff at his New Rochelle estate go, with he and Beach attempting to maintain the extensive estate themselves. Leyendecker left a tidy estate equally split between his sister and Beach.

Coleus |
(fresh) |
One summer I bought my mom Coleus seeds for her birthday. They have grown now into 5 huge bushes, probably around 4 feet wide and 2 - 3 feet tall. After reading that Coleus was psychoactive, I decided to test out this claim.
I picked off 70 leaves that were no smaller than an inch across and no larger than 3 inches across, and placed them in a blender, along with hot water, and left the nasty looking mush to sit for a few hours.
I poured the water into a large cup and added some lemon juice and sugar to it for taste, along with some milk, so as to cover the nasty flavor. I consumed it.
2 hours later I started to get the feeling that it was psychoactive. The feeling I get on a low dose of LSD or Morning Glory seeds, where I feel all warm and fuzzy and feel like I am about to cross over into a full blown trip. This was that feeling, and there was no mistaking it. It definitely was active. This feeling increased, as well as a not-unpleasant, hard to explain feeling of being isolated in a very large space.
Although I never 'broke through to the other side', I am 100% certain that what I consumed was psychoactive, and in no way a placebo. I will continue to experiment with this plant.

Affirmative action policies in the Indian education system are usually implemented by reserving seats for certain Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The percentage of seats reserved varies by state and university. Although these affirmative action policies, in theory, aim to alleviate the damage caused by many years of systemic oppression, their implementation has not always been perfect.
Implementing affirmative action policies in India is a balancing act. Are you ready to step into the shoes of a policy maker?

Domestic violence is violent or aggressive behavior within the home committed by someone in the victim's domestic circle. Typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner. Domestic violence can take the form of physical, sexual or psychological abuse.
Globally Domestic Violence is the most common form of violence experienced by women and needs to be put to a stop.
The violence you are experiencing will be put to a stop when you realize you are worth so much more then the abuse you have tolerated. Enough is enough!
These are some steps of Domestic Violence that can help your awareness be improved.
Educate yourself on the resources we give to you. Without knowledge theres no power!
Speak up! Domestic and sexual violence are silent epidemics that thrive in environments of secrecy and shame.
Pay Attention to your emotions. Are you feeling fear of your life or unease? If you are please don't minimize or deny the danger. Get away as soon as you can! Don't make it obvious or say your leaving cause that can bring more danger into the situation.
Try to avoid unsafe areas in your home espeically were guns are stored. Stay away from the kitchen were knives are exposed, the basment or garage. Anywhere you feel that you can be held captive, please just stay away.
If you are experiencing any type of abuse make sure to protect your face with your hands and arms. If you got knocked to the ground, curl up in a ball and continue to protect your face and head.
Hearing the word sorry will make you feel the most vulnerable. You might just want to except the apology and believe that it won't happen again but the truth of the matter is without any professional help toward the abuser it will most likely happen again.
Never let thier munipulation make you believe that it was your fault, cause it's not. No one ever deserves to be battered. The abuser is the one who has the problem and the one who needs to get help.
Many women start to feel confused, ashamed, afraid, guilty or humiliated as if they did something wrong and try to make it better or make it stop but you can't. This is something that isn't under your control.
Violence is dangerous and unpredictable. It may not follow a cycle. Things can even feel calm for a little while. Then the cycle begins again. If it does, the time between explosions tends to get shorter. In the future, there may be no "I'm sorry" stage.
Before it's to late please get help for yourself and have a good plan to stay safe. Find out your legal rights. You can also make a list of family and friends that can help you when theres an emergency. Your not alone! There are support groups to help you get through this. There's counseling and shelters where you and your children can stay safe. Please use these steps for a healthier life style.
You Are Not Alone
Learn the facts about Domestic Violence
An Average of 24 women per minute are victims of rape and physical violence by an intimate partner in the U.S.A.
It takes about 3 attempts for a survivor to leave their abuser. Seperating from the abuser is the most dangerous time.
Every 9 seconds in the U.S. a woman is assaulted or beaten. Women ages 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk of becoming victims of domestic violence.
65% of all murder-suicides involve an intimate partner; 96% of the victims of these crimes are female.
Just under 15% of women (14.8%) and 4% of men is the US have been injured as a result of intimate partner violence that include rape, physical Violence, and stalking by an intimate partner.
81% of women who expeience rape, stalking, or physical violence from an intimate partner report significant imapacts (short or long-term) like injuries or symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
On a typical day, there are more than 25,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
Among violent crimes, aggravated assault was the most likely to be reported to law enforcement (52.1%). It was followed by robbery (46.6%), simple assault (37.9%) and rape/sexual assault (33.9%).


AN IDEAL HUSBAND (PG). (Twentieth Century Fox) Director: Oliver Parker Stars: Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver, Rupert Everett, Julianne Moore, Jeremy Northam, John Wood, Peter Vaughan, Lindsay Duncan, Jeroen Krebbe, Michael Culkin Running time: 97 minutes.
Oscar Wilde's sophisticated wit, genial bon mots and acerbic one liners shine in Oliver Parker's solid, if somewhat uninspired screen adaptation of his play An Ideal Husband. Parker seems more comfortable with the demands of adapting Wilde's quaintly old fashioned, Victorian-era drawing room comedy than he did with his recent version of Shakespeare's Othello (featuring Kenneth Branagh and Laurence Fishburne).
An Ideal Husband is faithful to Wilde's play and still retains whiffs of its theatrical origins, but Parker beautifully enervates the script and the drama. He has also assembled a solid international cast, who relish the witty dialogue and deftly bring the urbane characters to life.
The central plot centres around a scheme to blackmail upright and rising politician Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam, from The Winslow Boy, etc) into offering his support to a dubious enterprise during a speech in Parliament. The scheming Mrs Cheveley (Julianne Moore) knows the secret behind Sir Robert's wealth and threatens to expose him if he refuses to co-operate. Sir Robert is more concerned about the effect the revelation will have on his devoted but morally principled wife Gertrude (Aussie actress Cate Blanchett, recently seen in Pushing Tin.) In desperation, Sir Robert turns to his friend Lord Goring (Rupert Everett) for help. Despite his wealth, Lord Goring is an idle bachelor who enjoys shirking any sense of responsibility whatsoever, much to the disgust of his father (John Wood).
All sorts of questions concerning morality, duty, and responsibilities are raised. There are plenty of comic mishaps and misunderstandings along the way before everything is happily resolved. Everett is beautifully cast as Wilde's witty and debonair alter ego here, and his suave and sure way with the clever one liners ensures that the film comes alive whenever he is on screen. Northam seems quite comfortable in effete period pieces, and delivers a solid performance as the troubled Chiltern. Blanchett delivers a nicely restrained and understated performance as Chiltern's loyal wife, but is easily outclassed by Moore's manipulative and scheming Mrs Cheveley. Again proving that she is the best American actress doing British pictures these days, Minnie Driver is superb as Mabel, Chiltern's flighty younger sister who has a crush on Lord Goring.
The settings and production design are quite exquisite and lavish, and add to the overall warm atmosphere that pervades the film. An Ideal Husband is not spectacular as a piece of cinema, but it is witty and entertaining enough to satisfy audiences.

Inside Flight, a New, Terrifying Simulated Airline Experience In a Shipping Container That’ll Leave You Questioning Reality
The team behind horror theatre show Séance return with a psychological thriller that plays on our worst fears. It’s just like being on a real plane, except that from the outset everything is, deliberately, a little bit wrong. And it gets worse.
by Elizabeth Flux“If anyone is claustrophobic or scared of the dark, now’s the time to let me know.”
 As she scans the crowd, I grip the ticket in my hand just a little bit more tightly and avoid catching her eye. Secretly I am both of those things – what rational person wouldn’t be? Inescapable spaces? Not being able to see anything around you?
I think about raising my hand and saying, “Well now that you mention it, we’ve made a terrible mistake. Anyway, goodbye.”
But I don’t speak up, because in addition to being scared of the dark and a little bit claustrophobic, I am also a third, irrational thing: proud. I’m the sort of person who’ll go straight to the highest diving board to prove she’s not scared; who watches horror moves through gaps in her fingers, as though a slightly narrowed field of vision will protect her from the horror.
So as I stand outside the entrance to Flight – a new theatre show that simulates all of our worst fears when it comes to plane travel – I cling to the fact that this is theatre. It’s a carefully planned experience, right? That gives me just enough courage to make my way through the doors of the ominous white shipping container in Southbank.
Once inside, it feels just like being on an aeroplane – even though we’re mere metres from a McDonald’s with hundreds of pedestrians streaming by – thanks to seats, overhead compartments and windows taken from a real plane. As you take your assigned seat a video starts to play, instructing you to look at the safety card placed in the seat pocket in front. Not a sound from the outside makes it through, and once you put your headphones on you feel completely removed from the world.
From the outset everything is, deliberately, a little bit wrong. There’s safety in numbers, so if you come with a friend, you’ll be separated. The video starts off normally enough – a stewardess talking through the usual aircraft safety information – but then the screen starts to flicker. Her outfit changes from blue to white. The background changes. Normal intercom messages start playing, then become slowly more and more bizarre. Cat noises. The paging of a passenger “Schrödinger”. Then suddenly everything is dark.
Flight was brought to Australia by UK production company Darkfield and its founders Glen Neath and David Rosenberg. Terrifying experiences in shipping containers are kind of their thing – they’re the ones who also brought us the deeply unsettling Séance, which combines aspects of a traditional ghost-summoning scenario with sensory deprivation.
Neath and Rosenberg decided on a plane as their next setting, and they’ve recently launched Coma in the UK, continuing their run of taking already distressing scenarios and turning them into a disturbing form of entertainment.
“Flying is inherently unnerving, not only because you’re in a thin metal tube 30,000 feet up in the air,” Neath tells me, “but also because you’re locked in there with a bunch of strangers.”
 Sudden noises. Whispers in my ears. That kind of thing. But it’s not the jump scares that make this experience so impactful. What makes Flight effective is the way your senses are manipulated.
I can’t tell if what I’m hearing is a recording or my fellow passengers. Lights flash on just long enough to show me something vague, while my imagination (I think) fills in the rest. Even though I know, deep down, that this is theatre, I find myself making myself as small as possible, double checking that my seatbelt’s done up. It’s fair to say my fight or flight response is fully engaged.
When it’s all over and the lights come on we’re ushered out.  But then – just for a moment – I find myself wondering if this really is the real world, after all. What really happened in there? Because the scary thing about Flight isn’t what happens in the dark. It uses darkness to lean into the unknown, pushing through to the other side. And if there’s one thing scarier than darkness, it’s what happens after you’ve crossed to the other side – the unknown.
Flight is running until December 8 in Queensbridge Square, Southbank. Tickets are available online. darkfield.com.au

Top athletes to meet in Eldoret for seminar
by Capital SportNAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 20 – Over 300 athletes are expected to converge in Eldoret for the second edition of Athletics Kenya (AK) Conference to enlighten the Kenyan stars on the effects of doping from December 4-7.
The four-day invite-only conference, whose theme is ‘I choose Integrity’ will be graced by IAAF’s Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), who will specifically deal with doping matters.
Marathon and road runners’ doping session on the opening day (December 4) will precede the main three-day event featuring track and field stars.
Apart from Olympic probable in the 42km, invited marathon and roadrunners will only have a one-day session with the event being mandatory for the invited athletes’ failure to which there will be consequences.
Apart from marathoners and road racers, the conference will especially feature youths, juniors and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games probables.
AK will use this seminar as a first step towards 2020 Olympics Games preparations as required by World Athletics, previously known as the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) with the main topic for discussion being anti-doping and advise on the best way to remain and compete clean.
Other areas of discussion will include ethics, Legal and contractual obligations, investment, taxation and athlete-media relations.
AIU will also have a major press conference on December 3 in Nairobi at a venue to be communicated prior to the event.
