Euskotren Tranbia known as Euskotran is an Urban transit tramway system that operates lines in the cities of Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao, plus one under construction in Leioa and another one, in the city of Barakaldo, all of them in the Basque Country. It began operations for the first time in Bilbao in 2002 and in Vitoria in 2008, it is one of the four commercial brands under which Basque Railways operates, as a public company managed by the Basque Government. The entire network, as the Euskotren Trena network, uses 1,000 mm narrow gauge rail tracks. Euskotren Tranbia operates the tram services, while Euskotren Trena operates the commuter rail networks, Euskotren Autobusa the bus services and Euskotren Kargo the freight rail services. Since 2006 Euskotren Tranbia known as "Euskotran", is the commercial brand for operator of the tram network, while the network itself is owned by the public entity Euskal Trenbide Sarea. In 2012 the commercial brand changed from Euskotran to Euskotren Tranbia with the word tranbia being Basque for "tram".

Euskotren Tranbia operates tram networks in Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao, plus one being under construction in Leioa to connect in the future the campus of the University of the Basque Country with Leioa and with the Urbinaga metro station, in Sestao. The first network named EuskoTran and Euskotran started in Bilbao in 2002, after two years under construction, connecting the Bilbao-Atxuri Station with Uribitarte; the line was expanded to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the hospital of Basurto and La Casilla. The tramway of Vitoria-Gasteiz opened in 2008 and has a Y-shaped network, with two different lines that cross the city from south to north. Euskotran Tranbia runs on a mixture of street track shared with other traffic, dedicated tracks and grass tracks, it shares dedicated tracks with the local bus services, TUVISA in Vitoria and Bilbobus in Bilbao. The tram has its own, distinguishable stops, some of them shared with bus systems and with low platforms; the stops of Bilbao-Atxuri Station and Abando, all of them in Bilbao, do not have their own separate stop, they use the sidewalk.

Except for Bilbao-Atxuri and Legibitzarra/Parlamento, the second one in the Vitoria network, all stops are unstaffed and rely on automated ticket machines. All the stations have displays and screens with the network map, the current time and temperature and the frequencies. Due the low platforms, the access between them involves crossing the tracks by pedestrian level crossing, they are level with the doors and are all wider than 2 m. This allows wheelchairs, prams and the elderly to board the tram with no steps. In street sections, the pavement is integrated with the tram stop; the Bilbao line has 14 stops, while the Vitoria one has 20. The Euskotren Tranbia networks serves the following stations. Bilbao's tram uses both regular paper tickets than can be acquired in the automated machines in every stop; the ticket pricing is not based on zone-based rules, as there's a unique price for the whole network. The Barik card is available in the whole network. A simple ticket costs €1,40 or €0,70 as of 2012.

Vitoria's tram uses both regular paper tickets and the electronic cards BAT, which work for the TUVISA bus system. The TUVISA bus cards are valid; the ticket pricing is not based on zone-based rules, as there's a unique price for the whole network. A simple ticket costs €1,25 or €0,66 as of 2012. Euskotren Tranbia operates with the Urbos series produced by the Basque company CAF; each 25 m long tram can carry 50 of them seated. Access to the trams is at platform level, making it easy for handicapped passengers to get on and off through the tram's eight doors. Speakers in the trams announce each stop. All trams are equipped with air conditioning; the trams are painted in the colours of Euskotren Tranbia. The tramway for the municipality of Leioa, in the Greater Bilbao area is under construction and is going through two phases being on the first one, the construction of the future depots and offices; the second phase will involve the line itself including the rail track and stops from the University of the Basque Country campus to downtown Leioa.

It will include nine stations: University campus II University campus I Sarriena Rotonda de Sarriena Edificio consistorial/Udaletxea Avenida Sabino Arana Plaza de los Arkupes/Sakoneta Boulevard Udondo Leioa A third phase would make the tramway cross the Estuary of Bilbao and connect Leioa with the Left Bank with two extra stations: La Punta Urbinaga There are plans to expand the Vitoria's tram network to the south, across the Renfe train station and reaching the campus of the University of the Basque Country. There are planned extensions for the tramway of Bilbao, including reaching the Deusto and Basurto-Zorroza districts in the northern area and Bolueta and Etxebarri in the southern Greater Bilbao. There are plans to create a tram network in the municipality of Barakaldo, in the Greater Bilbao area, which would start in Urbinaga station and from there create a circular line through the center of the city; the tramway would have 15 stops within Barakaldo plus two in Sestao, where it will connect with the Leioa's line.

My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Swans released on September 23, 2010. Swans founder Michael Gira funded the recording of this album by creating the limited-edition album I Am Not Insane and chose several collaborators from previous Swans line-ups as well as his side project Angels of Light to record and tour for this album. My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky has received positive critical feedback for the return of Swans as well as the rich spiritual themes of the lyrics. In a 2009 interview, Gira hinted at the prospect of resurrecting the Swans project; that year, many of the tracks that would appear on My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky were released in demo and acoustic form on I Am Not Insane and sold in order to fund the recording process for this album. Gira handmade 1,000 copies of that album to fund the new Swans recordings. In January 2010, Gira amended the band's Facebook and MySpace to read "SWANS ARE NOT DEAD"—an announcement that the band had been reformed as well as a play on words from Swans' live album Swans Are Dead.

Gira wrote the songs over a three-year period and decided that they were unfit for an Angels of Light album and he wanted to transition back the aggressive sound and "sonic intensity" of Swans. After Gira financed the album through sales of I Am Not Insane, he got together a group of musicians to record with him in New York; each song—with the exception of "You Fucking People Make Me Sick"—was recorded in 12-hour daily studio sessions that culminated in nighttime overdubs. In deciding to reform Swans, Gira attempted to create a continuity between the band's last studio album—1996's Soundtracks for the Blind—as well as his subsequent work with Angels of Light; the line-up of Swans that recorded this album features Gira, Christoph Hahn, Phil Puleo, Norman Westberg from prior Swans releases as well as Gira solo collaborators Thor Harris and Christopher Pravdica. Gira chose these musicians in part for how they would work together touring to promote this album and has created a distinct sound for Swans, emphasizing rhythm and the interplay between atmospheric instruments such as dulcimer, tubular bells, vibraphone.

Gira contacted Italian artist Beatrice Pediconi to handle all of the artwork for the album after seeing her pieces in Harper's Magazine. The special edition of the album has a cover; the title of the album comes from the lyrics to a unreleased Swans song entitled "Oxygen" that depicts Gira dying and ascending to Heaven and several reviewers have noted spiritual themes on the album. Gira's interest in spirituality developed with this album and his goal was to create music, "to elevate, to make you levitate like having it erase your body and lift you up to Heaven." In addition to releasing I Am Not Insane, Gira promoted the album by offering it for free streaming on the Internet, made a demo version of the song "No Words" available on the band's MySpace page, reorganized Swans for their first tour since 1997. Tour dates were slated to be performed in the United States and Europe, including headlining the Supersonic Festival in October 2010, Gira intended to tour for 18 months. Gira remixed the album with the intention of selling that version on tour and through the band's website.

My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky is rated an 83 with "universal acclaim" by Metacritic. The A. V. Club gave the album an A, calling it "a leviathan of an album" and commenting on the similarities and differences that this album has with the rest of Swans' catalogue, saying that it "resembles all of Swans' previous work, yet none of it." BBC Music has declared it "a majestic return and, let us hope, a harbinger of more to come." The Big Takeover has remarked that the album "encompasses all of the original band's many moods." The Wire listed My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky as the third best record of 2010 in its annual critics' poll.

Screen-Smart Device Interaction is new technology developed as a sub-branch of Digital Signage. It differs from the Second screen configuration; the latter has the first screen being a big screen and the second screen being the smaller screen of a cellphone. Where the small screen cannot affect or control the big screen; the small screen is used to provide supplementary data on the content of the big screen. In contrast, SSI is distinguished by the small screen being able to change the flow of information or content on the big screen; the big screen shows an identifier of its computer network address. The network is the Internet; the identifier might be in a barcode, part of the image on the big screen. The mobile device decodes it and queries a server; the server controls the big screen. When the server gets the query, it extracts the identifier of the big screen; the server can alter the big screen in a feedback loop. The user of the mobile device can pick buttons in its web page to change the big screen.

The mobile device functions as a remote control. The advantage is the decoupling of specific hardware requirements for the pair of the mobile device and the big screen. If the mobile device is a cellphone, it only needs wireless Internet access. If the big screen shows a browser there are paired web pages. One for the small screen, one for the big screen. Microsoft calls this the "Companion Web". In general, the pages in the pair are different; the page for the big screen is a digital poster. It does not need any buttons or selectable links, it can have large graphics. The large screen can be assumed to be on a wired connection; the small screen page is optimised for low bandwidth across a wireless connection. SSI is becoming a standard for Digital Signage Implementation, seeking to expand the traditional capabilities of this technology, adopting the modern Internet and'Connected Devices' concepts, it is related to the Internet of Things. Interactive Digital Signage might be a growth engine for traditional digital signage.

Interactive capabilities are gaining increasing attention by retailers, hotels/restaurants/bars, other venues that provide service to a'captive audience'. Muzzley is a trend in present technology that lets a user in any connected network access the Digital Signage screen using the smartphone. In this scenario, the smartphone keeps adapting its interface according to the experience that the user is having. Muzzley integrates with all the major digital signage manufacturers as well as traditional applications made in standard developing languages as javascript, node.js, flash / Action Script and others. In general, Screen-Smart device Interaction is a set of mobile, signal processing and hardware technologies that allows users with mobile devices to connect to a public screen and interact, control or acquire its content for emerging applications like effective outdoor advertising, event information distributions, out-of-home gaming, etc; these technologies lets users in any venue use smart mobile devices to answer a poll/survey/quiz, win coupons and participate in a game.
