Listen to My Exclusive Interview with
Sexy, Sensual, Soul Singer; Douye!
Can't See Radio Player, Click Here
In a music world that is currently plagued by senseless sounds, Douye offers something soothing—and definitely real. In fact, she gives more than songs and lyrics. She pours out her soul and experience, letting every listener be with her in an incredible journey.
Music Started Young
Douye was born in Rhine River, in Lagos, Nigeria. Ever since she was young, she already had an inkling in music, her sound greatly influenced by the big soulstresses of the United States such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Holiday. But it wasn't until her father, Landy, saw her potential and supported her along with the rest of the family that she developed the courage to pursue it and eventually make music her career and life. In fact, she never loses that gratitude for the incredible familial support.
The Journey Begins
Eventually music uprooted her from Nigeria and took her to different parts of the world. She set foot and stayed in Europe for a bit before she found herself in the United States, where she further enhanced her vocals and techniques by enrolling in California's renowned school of Musicians Institute.
As fate would have it, while she was harnessing her skills, she met one of the United Kingdom's bigwigs in the music industry, Terry Shaddick. Seeing her potential, Shaddick immediately teamed up with Douye. The collaboration, where Shaddick also worked as a producer and a songwriter, produced Journey. One of the featured songs, "Golden Days," with Rick Braun received considerable airtime and positive feedback from the critics who specially mentioned the sultry smoky vocals and just enough melodies to create the right jazzy atmosphere.
Something Bigger Is Coming
Douye is definitely on the road to stardom, and with the kind of prominence she's been receiving, it's easy for her to lay back and relax a bit. But she won't. Instead, she gears up even more, teasing everyone with a forthcoming album.
The sounds are still going to be Douye: smooth, bold, and sexy. However, they will be more mature, more unique, and more filled with stories as they are embedded in every single.
One her songs, "Life Is Good," which is chiefly inspired from the little things that make her feel grateful like "walking in the park," has already found a good spot in the Soul Charts of the UK. It's also gaining a lot of momentum in the United States.
Douye also brings her African heritage into the forefront by creating "So Much Love," which was an apt homage to the genius of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. It features some of the African elements Fela's fans have grown to love and have definitely missed, and yet Douye infuses her own interpretation that she doesn't end up a copycat. Instead, it remains her very own music. One of the love songs, "You're the One," meanwhile, sets back the tone to the 1980s R&B vibe.
The upcoming album, which was rumored to be released at springtime, is more than a set of songs. It's the by-product of the lengthy but mesmerizing and unforgettable creative journey that Douye took to become the kind of musician she is now.

The NSA Can Probably See Everything
Nobody in America has has a realistic expectation of digital privacy. We know they're spying on us. We've replaced the illusion of privacy with the complacency of the masses; we aren't worried as long as we're not doing anything too bad, right? That's the problem and it has allowed the various government agencies to go deeper than anyone could possibly imagine.
It's no longer simply paranoia, either, even though many in the conspiracy world have believed it to be the case for a long time. Recent revelations from Edward Snowden reveal that most of the things we thought were secure aren't really safe from the NSA. It also revealed that there are certain types of strong encryption that do seem to be safe, but those things were considered "safe" two years ago. Today, one would be foolish to believe that the powers that be haven't figured out how to get into any network or connected computer in the world at will.
Spiegel does a very nice job of discussing the issue in-depth. Their recent article is still a bit on the trusting side. They still seem to think that there are certain safe havens. If you have any semblance of a belief that they haven't made it into every crevice online, you're not paying attention.
For the NSA, encrypted communication — or what all other Internet users would call secure communication — is "a threat". In one internal training document viewed by SPIEGEL, an NSA employee asks: "Did you know that ubiquitous encryption on the Internet is a major threat to NSA's ability to prosecute digital-network intelligence (DNI) traffic or defeat adversary malware?"

Use the recommended resources on this page to learn more about South African artists and South African art as you and your children pursue art appreciation activities.
World renowned artist, Pablo Picasso proclaimed: "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
"We cannot measure the influence that one artist or another has on the child's sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sight of life …" ~ Charlotte Mason, Volume 1, Home Education
Art appreciation is simply facilitating the above! Simply allowing chidren to look at pictures (or other art forms) and enjoy their beauty and creativity. No teaching is required.
"Treat a work of art like a prince: let it speak to you first." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Some families enjoy keeping an Art Appreciation notebook in which they place prints or postcards of paintings along with a narration about each one. Some children enjoy replicating a famous work of art.
The South African Art Series for Children was created to help children learn more about South African artists and their work. Each of the booklets includes information about a particular artist, some images and descriptions of his/her work and some practical art activities for children in the style of the artist. They are aimed at children between the ages of 6-12 years.
You can buy them online at Takealot, download them instantly, print them and start using them with your children within minutes! These booklets are available in either English or Afrikaans.

William Kentridge
This South African artist is renowned for his prints and drawings in black and white but also for animated films created by filming his artwork.
Gerard Sekoto
Sekoto gave up teaching to pursure a career in art at the age of 25. He is famous for his paintings of Sophiatown in Johannesburg, which was later demolished. He is recognised as the pioneer of urban black art and social realism.
Willie Bester

Jan van der Merwe
Jan van der Merwe considers himself an installation artist. He often takes 'junk' and turns it into "artefacts of our time". He accelerates the decaying process by adding layers of rust or burning the objects to charcoal, to create his unique archaeological relics.
Helen Martins
Helen Martins' Owl House in Nieubethesda, is often cited as South Africa's finest example of outsider art. She used cement, glass, and wire to decorate the interior of her home and later build sculptures in her garden.
Esther Mahlangu
Esther Mahlangu is a South African Ndebele artist, who started painting decorations on houses at the age of ten with her mother and grandmother. She has now dramatically changed the media and techniques from those traditionally used.
Dikuanga & Kruiper

Laptop with ladybug
Cheap tablets equipped with Android from retail chains caused a lot of confusion a few months ago. On Thursday's purchases I noticed in Biedronka another device – Acera laptop. Is it like with the tablets will hit?
The laptop is equipped with Intel's Celeron mobile clocked at 1.70 GHz, which is definitely not a speed demon. Besides, we have 2 GB of RAM, an Intel graphics card and a 320 GB drive. There is also an operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. It is not a top-shelf machine and does not suit games, but it should check to see web pages, mail and use a text editor.
By. Newspaper shop, laptop is available on offer from 16.08. I came across him only now in a shop on the street Powstańców in Krakow, but from friends I know that laptops appeared last week in the Tri-City. I do not expect shops to be flooded with computer avalanches, they will be rather single copies.

The discovery of a monstrous asteroid that could destroy the Earth has become a hot topic in World End News 2016. The report sparks fear of an apocalypse.
Astronomer Zhao Haibin discovered the asteroid Wednesday. The astronomer was using China's largest telescope at the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing.
Asteroid 2009ES Power Similar To 3 Billion Bombs
This asteroid has a destructive force equivalent to three billion nuclear bombs, according to Daily Star.
A 1.2-meter Schmidt telescope captured the image of the asteroid 2009ES. In fact, it is just one of the 1,640 near-Earth asteroids moving towards the Earth.
Scientists have yet to ascertain the asteroid's path. In the meantime, scientists are closely monitoring the asteroid's movement. Presumably, a minor change in its flight path might mean the end of the human race.
Haibin explains the images of the asteroid would help astronomers determine its correct path.

If the asteroid crashed into Earth, the explosion will be devastating. As a result, the effects would be similar to the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
As a result of the asteroid's discovery, conspiracy theorists have renewed interest in World End News 2016.
In fact, survivalist Tom Lupshu described the effect of a direct impact as "disastrous." Lupshu creates YouTube videos about perceived threats to humanity,
On the other hand, NASA dismisses the possible collision between Earth and an asteroid.
NASA Holds Collision Simulation
Meanwhile, NASA and FEMA conducted a simulation on the collision of Earth and an asteroid.

"It's not a matter of if — but when — we will deal with such a situation," Thomas Zurbuchen said. Zurbuchen is an associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
On the other hand, the exercise focused on a response to a possible impact of a fictitious asteroid on Earth on September 20, 2020.
The simulation estimates the "asteroid's" size to be between 300 and 800 feet (100 and 250 meters). The possible points of impact include a narrow area that crossed the entire United States.

In Bluto We Trust
Far as we're concerned here in the Front Row, any reason to show a clip from Animal House is a good one. That said, I couldn't help keep this epic speech from, "Mis, Mister Blutowski" out of my mind when thinking about the current state of stuff.
With the wonderfulness of the internet and YouTube, especially, within seconds I had the clip above playing. While watching I couldn't help but laugh my ass off but also think, "you know, with a few little changes, this scene could take on a whole new meaning.
Naturally, we need to set the scene. America is down. I rattled off some pretty good reasons in my last post but admittedly, didn't even scratch the surface. There's a ton more reasons for Americans to be collectively down in the dumps. Fact, there is poison in our air via chemtrails, in our food via GMO's and our water via fluoride and other nastiness. You can argue all you want about intent or who knows what but their presence and harm is indisputable. Why have multiple other nations banned GMO's and fluoride? Doesn't that say it all?
Fact, in the last 100 years the dollar has lost 96% of its value. Um, that's almost ALL! Fact, 80% of Americans "share" only 7% of the wealth and the top 1%? They account for 40% of the country's wealth. Absolutely mind-numbing. Fact, pick a category to compare the US vs. the other industrialized nations and where just 20, 30 years ago we would be number 1 or close to the top in most, we are now way behind. All this and more is happening yet we continue to put the same old retreads in office over and over and over. Vote for him once and he fails, shame on him. Vote for him twice, you're a dumbass.
Let's face it, like the boys over at Delta Tau Chi, we just liked to party too much. After WWII, the good times rolled in and we as Americans wrapped a sheet around ourselves and had a 50-year toga party. We didn't bother to check who was bringing the beer or how they paid for it, just that we had it. However, it's all too clear that party has ended.
Look, in a nutshell what has happened here? A few crooked-ass, purely evil, sons-of-bitches have taken control of, well, everything, That's the problem. World domination plans didn't go out the window with Hitler, they just got smarter about how to do it. They hid behind corporations and wore suits and ties instead of a uniform. They've been buying up everything and consolidating everything, stacking all the chips in their favor. They've been systematically bankrolling and then bankrupting countries across the board and guess which phase we're in now? Of course, America is a special case. We ain't no Venezuela. Unlike the others, all us freaks, or a good enough amount, bring guns to the party. So, they needed to distract us and showed up at the party uninvited but brought a bunch of cute girls, cocaine and pizza. "C'mon in!"
So, here we are, hungover, broke and wondering just what the hell happened. Ladies and gentlemen, my good freaks, the Front Row proudly presents, "Bluto and America".
America: We're all officially fucked.
Bluto: "What's this lying around shit?"
America: Well, what the hell we suppose to do you big moron?
America: It's over, men, they've dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over til we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. Cuz when the going gets tough, the tough get going. So, who's with me?
America: (Silence)
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the America I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts? Huh? This could be the greatest country on Earth but you're going to let it be the worst. "oh, we're afraid to do anything, Bluto, we might lose what we do have or get in trouble." Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me, I'm not going to take this. Bankers? They're dead, man! Mainstream media? Dead! Politicians?
America: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We got to take these bastards. Now, we could revolt in the streets and fight them with conventional weapons but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, no, no. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation requires a really simple solution. So simple it's stupid.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it! Let's do it!
Yes, let's do it, America! Coming soon, the really incredibly simple plan that sadly, doesn't include 10,000 marbles or a Death Mobile. Until then, you freaks be good!
Everything Is Broken
So, a little bit further along then we were yesterday. Started our "Good Freaks To Know" page. Check it out! Basically, a running list of great sites to visit and people to look up to assist or reinforce your awakening.
There's really so much we want to get to tackling here in the Front Row looking out at the Freak Show. However, all in due time. Actually, watched an interview last night with one guy you may have heard about, Ben Swann, interviewing another you may not have heard about, G. Edward Griffin. In our humble opinion, two truth studs. G. Edward is the author of many books and publications, most notably, The Creature from Jeckyl Island. Basically, it's about how the Federal Reserve put this country's collective balls in a vice grip back in the early 1900's and has been tightening ever since. Anyway, Mr. Griffin said last night, and I'm paraphrasing, "when looking to share all this information about the way things are and the way they have been done, it's important to go slow. Don't back the whole garbage truck up and dump it on someone."
He's right. When I started waking up that's all I wanted to do was yell and scream and tell everybody everything. I mean the sky was falling! Ok, so the sky was actually being purposefully sprayed with chemtrails and thus poison was (is) falling on us, same difference. Point is, as the old song goes, "Waking Up is Hard to Do." There's actually some like real psychological mumbo jumbo that explains it. It's called cognitive dissonance. It's when you can't handle new info because it flies in the face of your long held beliefs even if those beliefs are, well, stupid. Sorry, sorry, 'stupid' might have been harsh and I apologize to any of you stupids out there.
Where are we going with all this? Well, good question, stupid! (Ha! Kidding:) Whether you realize it or not, want to or not, this country is a shambles, period. Yes, yes, the whole world, really, but for our purposes here, let's stick to the good, ole US of A, ground zero of the shambles bomb that exploded. Seriously, have you taken a good look around lately? The unequaled, Bobby Dylan, sniffed it out correctly back in '89 when he cantillated, "Everything is Broken". Please, name me one state or federal system or entity or organization of significance that isn't broken, corrupt, severely flawed or just plain, old screwed up someway. Go ahead, I'll jump right to it and triple dog dare ya! We haven't even got the art of voting mastered yet for crying out loud.
"Whatever! Like, stuff ain't perfect, 'Duh'! but it's like not that bad either. Stop freaking out, it's like depressing." Thanks, random, imaginary twenty-something but actually it is that bad and I'll prove it a little later. The question now is, why don't you or the masses think it's that bad? The answer there can get complicated and all stuff to explore in later posts. The short answer, however, is three-fold. One, a god (or God, if you insist) awful education system spanning decades that emphasizes and rewards memorization and regurgitation of facts versus critical thinking. Two, a government that has been completely taken over by a (relatively) few corporations and thus is no longer a government of the people, by the people and/or for the people. Three, a media that has also fallen prey to same corporate power and thus only serves to distract (made easier by that ol' lack of critical thinking skills thing) and of course, to propagate the illusion that neither the government nor themselves have in fact been taken over in the first place. Much, much more on all these to come in future posts.
"Oh, I get it. You're one of those conspiracy guys that believe in this Illuminati or New World Order deal and their going to take over the world and there will be no more America or anything? That's crazy internet stuff and no way is it happening or will ever happen!" Ah! The all-knowing, and also imaginary, 40-something. Well, yes, I do believe but that also is debate for another day. Today, I would like to take a page from Friday's playbook and stick with "just the facts". You see, conspiracy or not, if you look up from time to time, stop receiving the world and the news from the same old sources, you will see that it matters not if there is and has been 'intent' to make things the way the way they are. The fact is, everything is fucked. We're fucked. Though I may use the term liberally, I do not use it lightly. Without further adieu, let's take a look at those things and then you decide. Oh, but one small piece of evidence regarding the grand conspiracy theory…sorry, I just can't resist. This is from David Rockefeller, in other words, straight from the horse's mouth. I think Mr. Rockefeller would fall into that top 1%? Actually, he would fall into like the top .001% and that's where the shit really gets nasty. Anyway, here you go. I ask and will ask often, what more do you need?
"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
So, the following is a SLRS, short list of random shit. Trust me, if I were to try and list it all, I would be writing for a couple years and by then, it will be too late and what good would that do? However, these are all indisputable, facts. How some may have occurred or the players involved may be up for debate but we won't get into that now. What's that again, Friday? "Just the facts." Right! They are a combination of straight statistics (or numbers) and known actions taken by our government over the years to best exemplify the levels to which they have already sunk and will undoubtedly surpass.
- The national debt is $17,000,000,000,000. Damn! Look at all them zeroes! There's a lot of things I could have led with here but I chose this. Why? Simple. This is money we OWE!!! Does anyone think this can go on forever? Well, I got a news flash, it can't! Eventually, and by that I mean, real freaking soon, Luca Brasi is gonna come knockin' and then, we're all sleeping with the fishes. Either that or we all wake up one morning with horse's head in our bed. Personally, don't like either choice. The piper must be paid and what then? Oh, because we are the USA we are somehow exempt? News flash #2, we ain't!
- The US accounts for 5% of the world population yet has 25% of the world's prison population. Yes, that's right. 1 of every 4 people doing time in the world, are doing it right here. Oh, Adolf would be proud.
- There are 1.6 million (1,600,000) kids in America that are homeless! Think about that. 1 million….kids….homeless. If this number was 10, we should be appalled. A million? That's enough to fill up 23 NFL football stadiums. So long as it's not your kids, right?
- Sticking with the kiddies, 1 in every 4 kids in school right now is on at least one behavior medication. That's 25% for you fluoride-heads. A couple nice little side stats here? Again, America accounts for 5% of the world pop but we consume 90% of the world's Ritalin supply and 80% of the world's pain pills! Message is clear: Keep poppin, America but don't you dare smoke a joint or we'll throw your ass in a privatized, for-profit prison.
- Oh and how about one more about our "future"? 2.8 million children in America live on $2 a day or less! Let that one sink in for awhile. Do you think over in like Sudan or something there's an infomercial with a kindly, older man pleading the viewers to sponsor an American child? "Meet, Tommy. He lives in a '63 Buick…." What the fuck, people? What really kills me about a stat like this is of course, $2/day might as well be nothing but just think of how many kids that number grows by if you made it even $5 or $10 a day? Still a repulsively low number that must bring the totals up to what, 5, 10 or 15 million?!? Now we're talking hundreds of football fields filled with starving, dirty American kids. Think about that next time you spend 2 bucks on a magazine just to read how JayZ and Beyonce just bought a 600 grand, gold toilet. (Allow me, Douchebags!)
- In 2012, the US allocated upwards 700 billion towards military spending. Let's spell that out, $700,000,000,000. The next 4 combined? China, Russia, UK and Japan TOTALED not even 400 billion. Now, I'm no super genius here or anything but do you suppose, just suppose, I don't know…we could maybe just even spend only what the next top 4 spend and perhaps, FEED OUR OWN FUCKING CHILDREN? Do we really need to double what the next 4 spend? For fuck's sake already, who is good with this?
- OK, one last little doozy stat for ya because I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Alright, got a few too many kids hurting and people in prison, that sucks, sure. The debt and military spending? Waddya gonna do? Still the best country on the planet, like, eva!" Oh man, I was hoping you would say that! Hey, I know it helps that I'm writing the made-up statements here, but it's my blog! Anyway, what do you think is a good measure of a country's overall wellness? How about how well the middle-class is doing? Sounds reasonable, right? And where do you think the US would be ranked in such a category? Ha! not even close! Try 27th! Hey, we all know that stats can be misleading but look for yourself, seems pretty legit.
Now, just a few items that again, are an attempt to highlight the absolute and real sadistic nature of those running the show here. Personally, I'm sick of hearing crap like, "Yeah, there's a few bad apples but they're the exception." Or, "No way, dude, never happen here." Oh yeah? Well, stick these in your pipe and light up! (Need I mention again, no crap conspiracy here…this shit is stone cold)
- After WWII, our gov thought it would be a wonderful idea to sign a few free agents left over from the glorious Nazi party. Yes, hundreds of Nazi scientists and their families were excused from their role in aiding the genocide of 6 million people and were given jobs here. No, they didn't just pick up brooms and become custodial engineers, either. These guys essentially became the heads or major parts of all our 3 & 4 letter agencies like NASA, the CIA, etc., etc. Point is, not only did theses guys not stand trial but many of our current systems and procedures are based upon the ideas and ideals of followers and devotees of one of the most brutal dictators in modern history! What could go wrong, right? BTW, it's called Operation Paperclip, look it up!
- MK-Ultra. From the 50's to the 70's (if you believe they stopped after they were busted) the CIA, yes our CIA conducted mind control experiments on countless, unwitting Americans that included LSD, radiation, biological agents and good, old fashioned, torture. Now, what we actually know is very little because, surprise, surprise…thousands of documents were destroyed but fact is, this was done, promoted, supported and carried out by an arm of our government. You ok with that?
- One final 'history lesson' here. In between porn sites, go look up Operation Northwoods. Basically, this was a plan devised and approved by our Joint Chiefs of Staff to among other things, hijack a plane filled with Americans, blow it up and blame it on Cuba so we could go to war with the island. Other niceties included Americans being shot in our streets and general waves of terrorism to be carried out in major US cities across the nation. When brought to JFK's attention he fortunately squashed it (which may or may not have been the reason a bullet found his brain) but fact remains, factions of our gov actually thought up this shit! Think this was just isolated or never occurred to anyone again? If so, let's talk, I have some beautiful wetlands for sale. In fact, there's even a name for it. It's called a false flag. Do something to yourself so you can blame it on someone else so you can do shit to them. Pretty sick, no? I won't go much deeper but since your on a porn break, take a peek also at the Gulf of Tonken incident which is accredited with kick-starting the Viet Nam War. What's that? It was lie? A false flag used to get us into war? You don't say? Hmmm, we're in a war now. Been in war for a long time too, ever since 9/…..wait a minute, you don't think? No! I mean I know there were a lot of crazy things and coincidences that happened that day and even more things that just don't add up if you take any kind of a close up look at them but you're not suggesting that our government would lie or cover up or have any involvement in the death of 3000 Americans are you?
Enough with all that 'ancient history', right? "No way that could be going on today" or "so, maybe some stuff happened long ago but we learned from it", is that what I'm hearing? Well, therein lies the problem. Think the people like our parents and grand-parents knew we were importing Nazi's? Think they knew of the Joint Chiefs' plan? Hell no. Want some more recent examples of our tax dollars hard at work? How about Iran Contra? How about god damned, Iraq?! Still think the most sophisticated intelligence community in the history of man made a mistake about WMD's? How about something just like Waco? Innocent children were murdered needlessly at the hands of our FBI. How about the FACT we created Al-Qaeda, supposedly 'hunted' them after 9/11 but now are sending them food, guns and money to fight in Syria? Again I ask, are you really OK with all of this? Because our silence rings loud and clear to the perpetrators….."go ahead, just lemme watch American Idol in peace, would ya?". Our silence is a blank check for our government (or better still, those who really run our government) to write and cash any way they like. I pointed out just a tiny spec of examples of the checks they've been writing and results thereof. The biggest question for you now is, which way do you think all of this is trending? Think things will improve from this point? Well, one thing for sure is they will only get much, much worse with continued silence.
Signing off from the Front Row, you freaks be good!

LAZ-695T is trolley bus version of LAZ-695B. Only 10 of them were built.
It has 78 kw electric motor and its top speed is 50 km/h.
Compared to other trolleys it was lighter but had the same power so it was more economical to run. On the downside it didn't have so much room for the passengers and its service time was expected to be short (about 7-8 years).

Communication Service Providers (CSPs)
interested in potentially pursuing some portion of the $100M being
offered by the FCC as part of their broadband funding
experiment now that the eligible CBs (census blocks) have been
identified, have until October 14 to file. Questions range
from regulatory and technology concerns to whether or not a winning
bid can be submitted that still allows for a viable business
The experiments will inform the agency's broader effort to
expand rural broadband through its Connect America Fund.
They will also inform the FCC's efforts to ensure that consumers
everywhere can benefit from the sweeping technological advances
occurring now in the communications industry, while preserving
consumer protection, competition, universal service and access to
emergency services during these transitions.
With in-house expertise, CHR can assist with the
Engineering, Regulatory, Financials and GIS/CAD mapping tasks to
help assess a strategy, determine feasibility and ensure a
successful bid. After the winners are announced, we are
prepared to handle follow-on OSP Engineering, build-out and assist
further with CAF phase II funding. Oct 14 is the due
date for all bids, so don't wait too long!

Policy & Regulations
One of the key challenges facing the clean energy sector in the MENA region is that one of the key drivers for investment and development is stable, consistent legislation. This is largely absent across the region although there are signs of progress;
- Policy remains the single most important driver for clean energy investments.
- There are a number of different support mechanisms which can be used to bridge this revenue gap. These include renewable energy portfolios, tax incentives, auctions and tenders, feed-in tariffs, green certificates and carbon project credits. No single policy framework is inherently better than the rest as long as the risk and economics are properly understood.
- No country in the region has a clear policy base comparable to more developed markets. However, a large proportion of the expected capacity will be commissioned via a combination of auctions and tenders, and renewable energy targets. Currently these targets are the only clear indication as to each country's intent
- The countries which currently appear to be the most promising are (in no order): Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The relatively nascent state of the region's industry means that countries not on this list could easily catch up in terms of installed capacity were they to introduce the correct strategies.
- There are a number of drivers for clean energy investment in the region. The key drivers (although to varying degrees) are increasing energy demand; energy security; the export value of hydrocarbon stocks; concerns over carbon footprint and pollution levels.
What is Policy and Regulation?
To understand policy and regulation as it applies to the clean energy sector we recommend information provided by REN 21, the Renewable Energy Policy Network.
On their website they provide explanations for policy mechanisms such as:
- Regulatory Policies – Feed-in Tariff, Utility Quota Obligation, Net Metering, Obligation and Mandate and Tradeable Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
- Fiscal Incentives - capital subsidy, grant or rebate, tax incentives or energy production payments
- Public Financing – Public investment, loans or grants, public competitive bidding
When looking for policy to attract investment in clean energy technologies the following are the typical types of policies that might be trialed by a country or city:
- CO2 Emissions Reduction targets
- Targets for Share of Renewable Energy
- Targets for Share of Renewable or low carbon Electricity
- Targets of Installed Capacity of Clean Energy Technology
- Targets for Government Own-Use Purchases of Renewable Energy
- Targets for Share of Buildings with Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
- Urban Planning Rules
- Building Codes and Permits
- Tax Credits and Exemptions
- Electric Utility Policies
- Subsidies, Grants and Loan
- Government Funds and Investments
To understand which countries and cities around the world are implementing these types of mechanism see the REN 21 Renewable 2011 Global Status Report.
To see a more in-depth overview of the application of policies to one country, see theDSIRE website which comprehensively captures all policies being implemented in every State in the USA.
What do you expect to see in a government that is serious in pursuing clean energy?
Derived from the experience of many countries around the world, these are the signals the private sector looks for from governments that are interested in pursuing a clean energy agenda:
- A national energy strategy that includes clean energy as an integral part of meeting domestic supply requirements.
- A dedicated body responsible for delivering on this national energy strategy, particularly the development of clean energy options.
- Policies that encourage the private sector to invest in the clean energy sector and regulations to ensure that the private sector develops sustainably and responsibly.
- An industry development framework that looks to develop capability and capacity through research and development, commercialization, market development and market maturity.
- Leadership from government in educating their communities in sustainability, including clean energy and energy efficiency.

Six Super League clubs and two sides from the Championship will be in the hat for Monday's quarter-final draw in the Tetley's Challenge Cup, to be shown live on the BBC News channel at 6.30pm.
Holders Wigan hammered Hunslet 52-8 on Sunday to book their place in the draw with Australian full-back Matty Bowen scoring three of their nine tries. Wigan also took the opportunity to rest captain Sean O'Loughlin, stand-off Blake Green, centre Darrell Goulding and hooker Michael McIlorum.
Warrington, the winners in 2009, 2010 and 2012, also eased to victory, thrashing Doncaster 68-0 with stand-off Chris Bridge scoring 36 points from four tries and 10 goals from 12 attempts. Winger Kevin Penny claimed a hat-trick.
Bottom-of-the-table Bradford pulled off the shock of the day, beating Catalan Dragons 33-20, with Jamie Foster – who was returning from illness – scoring two tries and kicking six goals.
Widnes won 30-20 at Salford despite half-back Grant Gore being injured in the warm-up and having to be replaced by Danny Craven.
They will be joined in the last eight by Castleford, who overcame Sheffield 60-16 with winger Justin Carney scoring four of their 14 tries, and Leeds, who beat St Helens 32-12 in Saturday's televised tie, despite losing hooker Rob Burrow with a broken collarbone that will rule him out for 12 weeks.
The Championship will be represented by Keighley, who beat Swinton 33-20 on Saturday with two tries from winger Richie Barnett, and Leigh, who defeated Featherstone Rovers 26-16 at Leigh Sports Village.
Leigh's in-form half-back Ryan Brierley led the way with another hat-trick of tries to add to the 17 he has already scored in the Championship so far this season.

About Me
To have an adventure.
I have been told I have to write that I am quite sporty, as a warning that couch surfers may be required to walk many places. I think it's not so much sport as living in a place where people just walk everywhere.
I believe it is vitally important to dance and to sing everyday in life, no matter how bad you are at either (I'm pretty bad at both!). Once you have realised this there is not much more to life.
Oh and I do enjoy the odd drink. But that's a given considering I work in bars. Cheers!
Don't trust the philosopher's, make up your own mind. Nothing happens for a reason. There is no such thing as good or bad people, only good or bad actions. Dont look back in anger.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Have had coach surfers come to stay with flatmates and loved meeting so many different people.

In Maryland, rabies is most often found in raccoons, skunks, foxes, cats, bats, and groundhogs. Other mammals including dogs, ferrets, and farm animals can get rabies if they are not vaccinated. Rabies is rarely reported in rabbits and small rodents, such as squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice. Many recent human rabies cases in the United States have been associated with bats. Although people usually know when a bat has bitten them, bats have small teeth that may not leave marks on the skin.
Other possible exposures include getting infected saliva from a rabid animal into an open wound or in the eyes, nose, or mouth. Rabies is not spread by petting a rabid animal or contact with blood, urine, or feces (stool).
Rabies in animals causes paralysis and changes in behavior. Animals may become very aggressive or unusually friendly. Muscles of the throat and jaw may become paralyzed and cause drooling. Seizures are common. In humans, the virus causes fever, headaches, unusual tingling sensation, confusion, tightening of the throat muscles, hydrophobia (fear of water), and seizures. The disease rapidly progresses to paralysis, coma, and death. Rabies is almost always fatal.
If you are bitten by or exposed to an animal that may be rabid, you should:

If you're looking for somewhere in Snohomish County to go for great food and happy hours prices, look no further. Edmonds' new restaurant 190 Sunset is the place to be-- and you might even run into the mayor.
190 Sunset was recently named "one of the best happy hours in Snohomish County" by The Seattle Times and we couldn't agree more.
Happy hour cocktails range from $6 - $10, but with the drink presentation and tastes, you would assume they cost much more.
Saint tried the Corpse Reviver No. 2 and Michael had the Bee's Knees cocktail made with local gin and honey.
But don't forget to grab a bite while you're out for drinks!
What We Tried:
- Lobster Mac & Cheese
- Crab Cakes (most popular item on the menu)
- Homemade Biscuits
- Pan Seared Scallops
- Grilled Salmon
- Pan Seared Alaskan Halibut
Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 - 6 PM and 9 PM - close. Brunch is also available on the weekends from 9 AM - 3 PM.

Swain Build Guide by mrepicbread
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Swain Build
Top Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build will give Swain a heavy burst damage late game. Designed for very agressive play.
The reason I like this build is that it's taking advantage of ALL Swain has to offer.
This build is based on the extra dagame torment gives to DFG and Ignite. Hourglass i always a must on Swain because it doesen't interrupt his ultimate. This build is harder then most builds because you have more spells to use in your combo. The cobo variates, but you should always have torment on when you use DFG and Ignite.
early game
This build doesen't give much mana, but mana isn't a problem if you play swain as a mage. With this damage, you won't need much mana.
Chapter 3
Once this build is finnished you can easy burst down enemies using torment combined with Ignite and Deathfire Grasp. This will make you a better one-target burster, but you will still be able to stand fighting in big teamfights with just as good AOE damage as before.
Fun facts about Swain
+ Swain was the first Champion to be announced and then reworked before it went live.
+ Nevermove is a reference to the narrative poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
+ While Ravenous Flock is active, Swain has three seperate /jokes and an additional /taunt, unlike other champions with "true forms".
+ The transformed model closely resembles one of the Greater Daemons of Tzeentch, Lords of Change, from the Warhammer universe.
+ Swain's raven is named "Beatrice".
+ The color of Swain's form in ravenous flock varies, depending on what skin Swain is chosen to be in. In his original skin, he turns black, whilst in his Northern Front skin and Bilgewater skin he turns white and red respectively.
+ Swain was designed by Coronach.
+ Swain was a member of the Black Rose, a dark group that has been around since before the rise of the military goverment in Noxus. They are thought to no longer exist, but Leblanc the Deceiver is its leader and is working on getting the Black Rose back into the public's eye.
+ Swain is one of the few champions to have an Art Spotlight, along with Cassiopeia, Karma, Renekton, Trundle, Maokai, Nocturne and Lee Sin.
+ According to Babaganoosh, Swain was unable to compete in the Ionia Versus Noxus Grudge Match due to have just been recently promoted to the Noxian High Command and thus needed to take time away from the League to put all his affairs in order.
+ Swain's name may be a reference to a character named The Mastermind, made by flash producer TheSwain: both characters bear a good resemblance in tactics and intellect to one another.
+ Swain's innate ability when he went live was "Whenever Swain kills an enemy unit, his mana regeneration is increased by 300%". While true, it only affected his base mana regeneration, which wasn't clear. It was changed to its current incarnation to give nearly the same effect, but in a form that is much easier to understand.

|Other Savoy Operas > His Majesty
Carte "specially engaged" George Grossmith for the part of the King of Vignolia, but his reappearance on the Savoy stage after an absence of nearly ten years was not a success and he withdrew after only three performances.
King Ferdinand, while disguised as a court artist, has fallen in love with the peasant maid Felice, despite the fact that his late father decreed that he marry Lucilla Chloris, the daughter of the king of Osturia. Chloris has arrived for the wedding, but she is in love with Prince Max of Baluria. Things are complicated by the antics of Boodel, the King's former master of the revels. He keeps overhearing the tail-ends of conversations and concludes that a plot to assassinate Ferdinand is afoot. Most suspicious to him is a trunk carried by Felice.
