The Bicycle Barometer decides whether you should take the tube or bike to work, London, Britain - 05 Feb 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Pope / Rex Features (2115394i)
The Bicycle Barometer decides whether you should take the tube or bike to work. It measure the weather and tube data and points towards the day's best option, a symbol of a bike or the London Underground.
You Tube: Commute-Deciding Barometer
If you're reading this it is likely you have taken the tube in to work, but are you regretting your decision?
Sometimes it's hard to know if you should cycle to work, or take public transport but Richard Pope; a Civil Servant based in London has created a smart gadget which takes some of the guesswork out of the equation.
The Bicycle Barometer takes in to account data about the weather, the status of the tube lines Richard takes to work and whether his local station is open or shut.
This is all reduced to a single value displayed on a dial with a bike sign at one end and a tube sign at the other.
It will point towards the day's best option.
If it's pouring with rain, the barometer will point to the tube; sunny, the bike.
If it's drizzling but the nearest tube line is experiencing delays, the barometer will lean slightly towards the bike.
The 34-year-old built The Bicycle Barometer from an old clock he found at Brixton Community Market, which uses a Nanode (programmable circuit board that connects to the internet) to connect to three data sets: the Met Office's Datapoint API, Transport for London's line status, and station status API.
Richard said: "I built the Bicycle Barometer in a few days during the Christmas break and have been using it ever since.
"It's pretty accurate - there are a few times that I thought it was malfunctioning, but turned out the tube had delays!
"I'm continuing to tweak it and want to add more data sources like pollution levels."
Richard has also just launched a web app that tells users how safe the food is in a resta...

'I'm going to be a dad' - photographer captures friends and family's reactions to the news, London, Britain - 06 Jan 2012

'I'm going to be a Dad' - Photos of Relatives Priceless Reactions
This collection of photographs shows a man's family and friends reacting to news that he is going to be a Dad.
Tom Robinson, 30, is a self-confessed gossip. He can't keep a secret to himself so when he found out his wife was pregnant he couldn't even wait until the three month scan before he told people.
After a couple of weeks he broke the news to his boss, which was received by a priceless reaction.
Instantly the London-based photographer knew he had to capture the reactions of his close family and friends and document it in a photo album.
He explained: "Verity and I hadn't been trying for a baby and I was 29, which for London is fairly young to have a child, so I knew I'd get some good reactions."
Tom and his wife then continued to tell their close relatives and friends their good news, all of it caught on camera.
His favourite reaction was from his parents: "They had just brought a new campervan and were very eager to give us a guided tour," explained Tom.
"I said I would take a quick photo of them sitting in the back and then told them our good news.
"My mum was so shocked she let out a little scream."
Another reaction that will stay in Tom's memory is that of his old school friend Pete.
"When I told him he just stared at me for ages with a bemused look on his face and then eventually brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate."
Other highlights in the photo album are the reactions of their closest group of friends who were told while in an Indian restaurant; Verity's brothers who turned away from their video game for a second to register the news then carried on playing and Harwin, Tom's old work colleague who look...

Aspiring police officers are trained very quickly in the many facets of their work., They learn how to search a person and how to use a truncheon without hitting people on the head. They also learn how to set up an ambush, patrol an area and deal with intruders. By February 2008, 1001 men had passed the basic examination for assistant police officer. Two hundred of them went on to train as police officers, and another 480 were planning to undergo training.

OUT OF THE DUST - LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN
A powerful collection of images of everyday life in Afghanistan will be displayed for the first time in the UK in a new exhibition this summer.
'Out of the Dust - Life in Afghanistan' features images by Dutch photographer Hans Stakelbeek. The exhibition runs from 30 July-31 August 2008 at PM Gallery in west London.
In 2007 Hans Stakelbeek was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to document the reconstruction of Afghanistan during the efforts to restore peace and stability to the country.
Stakelbeek made four trips last year, shooting in Kabul and Uruzgan, as well as other remote areas.
As the project developed, he also became interested in capturing the stories of the people he came to know, as well as the reconstruction efforts required by his official posting.
'Out of the Dust' presents a set of images that pays tribute to the determination of the Afghan people to survive and live as normally as possible through the upheaval - building homes, going to school and working and playing in testing and fri...
