Bart Schutz @ ConvCon Berlin: Deep dive into #effective #online persuasion #techniques on #emetrics #convcon #conference
Bart was rescued as a five-month-old puppy in June. He was living under vacant houses in the Florida Area and eating out of trash cans. That didn't get him down in the least! He was very happy and social. Bart was severely worm- and flea-infested and also had demodex mange when he was rescued. He was also severely malnourished. Now, he's 9-10 months old, extremely healthy, and a very happy, sweet boy.
Bart is a beagle/catahoula mix. He's a petite boy at only 35 pounds. Bart is very energetic but also does well in a crate and rides perfectly in the car. Bart's favorite pastime is playing in the hose! He is submissive and gentle and good with all people and dogs. Bart has never met anyone he didn't like. Bart has been to day care and done very well. Bart would be an amazing dog for an active family -- I couldn't think of a better running partner. Bart is house trained and doing well on leash and obedience training, but he'll need more work. Bart is now fully vaccinated, neutered, heartworm negative and on preventative, flea-, demodex-, and worm-free, and microchipped. An application, vet reference, home check, and $100 adoption donation are required to adopt Bart. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Bart, please email kellygaus@gmail.com or see dogsofthe9thward.org.
I've always been a fan of the BART rolling stock, particularly ones with the slanted ends. BART trains have a wonderful 1960's look while still looking futuristic.
BART has a weekday ridership of 335,000, making it the fifth busiest rapid-transit system in the United States. The first segment of the system opened in 1972 but it didn't connect the East Bay with San Francisco until 1974.
This is an unusual rapid-transit system in that it spreads throughout the San Francisco metropolitan area while providing relatively little urban service to San Francisco itself. In that sense, it operates more like a commuter / regional rail system than an urban rapid-transit system. This isn't necessarily bad, as the Washington Metro or (especially) the Paris RER demonstrate, but the BART was designed with nearly all of its service concentrated in one line in San Francisco, limiting its utility for transport throughout the urban core while the limited track space reduces the frequency of trains at the various branches throughout the wider metropolitan area, making it less attractive than it could otherwise be in the suburbs. To better grasp the planning debacle, compare the system to the Washington Metro: both systems were planned around the same time with the same general idea (regional transit in the freeway age), opened within a few years of each other, and are roughly the same size, yet the Washington Metro has over twice the ridership of the BART. The difference is made even more stark when you consider that San Francisco is both much more populous and dense, has a more dense metropolitan area, has historically been more transit dependent, and has a higher cost of driving when compared to Washington.
It is sometimes said by planners that the enemy of the good is the perfect, that essentially you go with the tools you have and be thankful that something was accomplished. In the case of the BART, I would say that that sentiment is rubbish. Is the system of benefit? Yes, who would deny that? However, considering that the financial and political cost over the years and what resulted, everyone would have been better served had they waited for something closer to "the perfect".
On this day we went to the Coliseum during their game against Texas to get tickets for the next day's game where they were giving away bobbleheads.
