Finding Better Mobile Analytics
    |
When creating a mobile application, a developer imagines a model and the way users will use the application. One problem that developers face is that users do not always use an app the way it was envisaged by the developer.
How do users interact with the app? What do they do in the app? Do they do what the developer wants them to do? Mobile analytics help to answer these questions. Analytics allow the developer to understand what happens with the app in real life and provide an opportunity to adjust and improve the app after seeing how users actually use it. To put it simply, analytics is the study of user behavior.

First Demo of Solar Roadways
On Friday, September 30, the city of Sandpoint, Utah, was expected to provide the first public demonstration of what are called "Solar Roadways" at its town square.
In 2010, Scott Brusaw, an electrical engineer and inventor, demonstrated the concept of a solar road panel and videotaped the event. Not long afterward, representatives from the U.S. Department of Transportation visited Brusaw to learn more about the invention and subsequently gave him a $100,000 grant to continue working on solar road panels. This was followed by two additional DOT grants.
