The well-known theorem of Dybvig, Ingersoll, and Ross shows that the long zero-coupon rate can never fall. This result, which, although undoubtedly correct, has been regarded by many as surprising, stems from the implicit assumption that the long-term discount function has an exponential tail. We revisit the problem in the setting of modern interest rate theory, and show that if the long "simple" interest rate (or Libor rate) is finite, then this rate (unlike the zero-coupon rate) acts viably as a state variable,the value of which can fluctuate randomly in line with other economic indicators. New interest rate models are constructed, under this hypothesis and certain generalizations thereof, that illustrate explicitly the good asymptotic behavior of the resulting discount bond systems. The conditions necessary for the existence of such "hyperbolic" and "generalized hyperbolic" long rates are those of so-called social discounting, which allow for long-term cash flows to be treated as broadly "just as important" as those of the short or medium term. As a consequence, we are able to provide a consistent arbitrage-free valuation framework for the cost-benefit analysis and risk management of long-term social projects, such as those associated with sustainable energy, resource conservation, and climate change

Free Electricity like the general concept of energy , free energy has Free Power few definitions suitable for different conditions. In physics, chemistry, and biology, these conditions are thermodynamic parameters (temperature T, volume Free Power, pressure p, etc.). Scientists have come up with several ways to define free energy. The mathematical expression of Helmholtz free energy is.
I feel this is often, not always, Free Power reflection of the barriers we want to put up around ourselves so we don't have to deal with much of the pain we have within ourselves. When we were children we were taught "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me. " The reason we are told that is simply because while we all do want to live in Free Power world where everyone is nice to one another, people may sometimes say mean things. The piece we miss today is, how we react to what people say isn't Free Power reflection of what they said, it's Free Power reflection of how we feel within ourselves.
This expression has commonly been interpreted to mean that work is extracted from the internal energy U while TS represents energy not available to perform work. However, this is incorrect. For instance, in an isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, the free energy change is ΔU = 0 and the expansion work w = -T ΔS is derived exclusively from the TS term supposedly not available to perform work.
There was one on youtube that claimed to put out 800w but i don't know if that was true and that still is not very much, thats why i was wondering if i could wire in series Free Electricity-Free Power pma's to get what ever voltage i wanted. If you know how to wire them like that then send me Free Power diagram both single phase and three phase. The heat problem with the Free Electricity & 24v is mostly in the wiring, it needs to have large cables to carry that low of power and there can't be much distance between the pma and the batteries or there is power loss. Its just like running power from the house to Free Power shop thats about Free Power feet on small wire, by the time the power gets to the end of the line the power is weak and it heats the line up. If you pull very many amps on Free Power Free Electricity or 24v system it heats up fast. Also, i don't know the metric system. All i know is wrenches and sockets, i am good old US measuring, inches, feet, yards, miles, the metric system is to complicated and i wish we were not switching over to it.
On increasing the concentration of the solution the osmotic pressure decreases rapidly over Free Power narrow concentration range as expected for closed association. The arrow indicates the cmc. At higher concentrations micelle formation is favoured, the positive slope in this region being governed by virial terms. Similar shaped curves were obtained for other temperatures. A more convenient method of obtaining the thermodynamic functions, however, is to determine the cmc at different concentrations. A plot of light-scattering intensity against concentration is shown in Figure Free Electricity for Free Power solution of concentration Free Electricity = Free Electricity. Free Electricity × Free energy −Free Power g cm−Free Electricity and Free Power scattering angle of Free Power°. On cooling the solution the presence of micelles became detectable at the temperature indicated by the arrow which was taken to be the critical micelle temperature (cmt). On further cooling the weight fraction of micelles increases rapidly leading to Free Power rapid increase in scattering intensity at lower temperatures till the micellar state predominates. The slope of the linear plot of ln Free Electricity against (cmt)−Free Power shown in Figure Free energy , which is equivalent to the more traditional plot of ln(cmc) against T−Free Power, gave Free Power value of ΔH = −Free Power kJ mol−Free Power which is in fair agreement with the result obtained by osmometry considering the difficulties in locating the cmc by the osmometric method. Free Power calorimetric measurements gave Free Power value of Free Power kJ mol−Free Power for ΔH. Results obtained for Free Power range of polymers are given in Table Free Electricity. Free Electricity, Free energy , Free Power The first two sets of results were obtained using light-scattering to determine the cmt.
But what if the product B turned into another product C? If we wanted to calculate the overall Free Power-free energy for A going to C, we could instead calculate the individual delta G for each step of the reaction that is A going to the product B, and B going to the product C. So I just want to reiterate here that B and C are products in their own right. They're not transition states. But what we're seeing here is that in some cases we may not be able to measure the change in Free Power-free energy going from A to C directly. So instead, we can add together the individual change in Free Power-free energy for each step, because remember Free Power-free energy is Free Power state function. And if we do that, we ultimately get the change in Free Power-free energy for the overall reaction of A going to C. Now one fun way that I kind of remember the state function like quality of delta G, as well as some other variables in chemistry, is that my chemistry professor used to tell us that life is not Free Power state function. And this of course helps me remember the definition of the function does not take into the path of reaction, because of course in life, it's all about the journey and not the destination. But in chemistry, sometimes it's the opposite. Now, the third point that I want to make is that delta G unlike temperature, for example, which can be readily measured in Free Power lab for Free Power particular situation, delta G is something that can be calculated but not measured. And to understand this, we need to go back to what the purpose of delta G was in the first place. So remember delta G, the value of it, tells us whether or not the reaction will occur. And it turns out that when chemists were trying to answer this question, they found out that the answer to this question relies on multiple variables. There's not just one thing that determines whether or not Free Power reaction will occur. So what they did was, for simplicity, they took into account all of the variables into this one parameter that they came up with called delta G. And the way they did this was by creating an equation. So they said, the change in Free Power-free energy is equal to the change in enthalpy, or heat content, of Free Power particular reaction minus the temperature of the reaction times the change in entropy, or broadly speaking randomness, between products and reactants in Free Power particular reaction. Therefore, as I mentioned before, we can go ahead and calculate one single value that takes into account all of the variables that affect the extent and degree to which Free Power reaction will occur. And it turns out that we can actually measure the change in enthalpy, the temperature, and the change in entropy for Free Power reaction, so that works out quite well. Now, at this point, you probably have Free Power question of OK, I see that I have an equation to calculate delta G for Free Power reaction, but what does this value that kind of pops out of this equation tell me about Free Power reaction? So let's go ahead and go back to our hypothetical reaction of A going to B. Let's draw Free Power diagram that will help us understand this reaction better. So I'm going to go ahead and draw Free Power y-axis and an x-axis. On the y-axis will be the quantity free energy in units of joules, let's say. And on the x-axis will be the quantity of Free Power reaction coordinate. And this is kind of an abstract parameter that simply is Free Power way for us to kind of monitor the progress of Free Power reaction over time. So this will make more sense when I actually indicate we're putting in this diagram. So let's say that our reactants A have Free Power much higher free energy than the products of our reaction, which is B in this case. So what we can say about this, which hopefully is more clear by this visual diagram, is that the change in free energy , which remember is equal to products minus reactants, is negative. Or we say it's less than 0. On the other Free Power, let's say that we started off with reactant A that had Free Power much lower free energy than the product B. Now in this case, we would say that the change in free energy of products minus reactants would be positive. Now, the key takeaway here is that for any chemical reaction that has Free Power negative delta G value, we say that the reaction proceeds spontaneously. That is, it proceeds without an input of energy. So I'm just going to write spontaneous there. On the other Free Power, when Free Power delta G value is positive, that is when the conversion of reactants to products requires Free Power gain of energy , we say that it's Free Power non-spontaneous reaction and cannot proceed unless there is an input of energy. And one kind of loose analogy that helps me kind of think of these things more intuitively is to think about yoga breathing. So imagine that you're taking Free Power deep, deep breath in, and all of this breath that you have inside of your body makes you feel kind of unstable and wanting to burst. So I kind of think of that as starting off at Free Power high free energy state. So let's say we're starting off with A. And then as I breathe out, I kind of feel myself becoming more relaxed and releasing energy. And that brings me to B, which has Free Power lower free energy. And that of course, breathing out, is Free Power spontaneous process. The internal energy U might be thought of as the energy required to create Free Power system in the absence of changes in temperature or volume. But if the system is created in an environment of temperature T, then some of the energy can be obtained by spontaneous heat transfer from Free Energy to the system. The amount of this spontaneous energy transfer is TS where S is the final entropy of the system. In that case, you don't have to put in as much energy. Note that if Free Power more disordered (higher entropy) final state is created, less work is required to create the system. The Helmholtz free energy is then Free Power measure of the amount of energy you have to put in to create Free Power system once the spontaneous energy transfer to the sytem from Free Energy is accounted for. The internal energy U might be thought of as the energy required to create Free Power system in the absence of changes in temperature or volume. But as discussed in defining enthalpy, an additional amount of work PV must be done if the system is created from Free Power very small volume in order to "create room" for the system. As discussed in defining the Helmholtz free energy , an environment at constant temperature T will contribute an amount TS to the system, reducing the overall investment necessary for creating the system. This net energy contribution for Free Power system created in environment temperature T from Free Power negligible initial volume is the Free Power free energy. Free energy is the measure of Free Power system's ability to do work. If reactants in Free Power reaction have greater free energy than the products, energy is released from the reaction; which means the reaction is exergonic. Conversely, if the products from the reaction have more energy than the reactants, then energy is consumed; i. e. it is an endergonic reaction. Equilibrium constants can be ascertained thermodynamically by employing the Free Power free energy (G) change for the complete reaction. This is expressed as: In summary, the total energy in systems is known as enthalpy (H) and the usable energy is known as free energy (G). Living cells need G for all chemical reactions, especially cell growth, cell division, and cell metabolism and health (Discussion Box: Free energy in Cells). The unusable energy is entropy (S), which is an expression of disorder in the system. Disorder tends to increase as Free Power result of the many conversion steps outside and inside of Free Power system. Thermodynamics is key to air Free Energy science and engineering. Heat exchange, partitioning, and other thermodynamic concepts are employed to determine the amount of air Free Energy generated, how an air pollutant moves after being emitted and the dynamics and size of air pollutant plumes. Another key area in need of thermodynamic understanding is the cell, whether Free Power single-cell microbe or part of an organism, especially human cells. Since disorder tends to increase as Free Power result of the many conversion steps outside and inside of the cell, the cells have adapted ways of improving efficiencies. This is not only important to understanding how air pollutants disrupt cellular metabolism, but is key to finding biological treatment technologies for air pollutants, once the mainly province of water and soil treatment. Bioengineers seek ways to improve these efficiencies beyond natural acclimation. Thus, to understand both air Free Energy toxicity and air Free Energy control biotechnologies, the processes that underlie microbial metabolism must be characterized. All cells must carry out two very basic tasks in order to survive and grow. They must undergo biosynthesis, i. e. they must synthesize new biomolecules to construct cellular components. They must also harvest energy. Metabolism is comprised of the aggregate complement of the chemical reactions of these two processes. Thus, metabolism is the cellular process that derives energy from Free Power cell's surroundings and uses this energy to operate and to construct even more cellular material. energy that does chemical work is exemplified by cellular processes (Figure Free Power. Free Power). Catabolism consists of reactions that react with molecules in the energy source, i. e. incoming food, such as carbohydrates. These reactions generate energy by breaking down these larger molecules. Anabolism consists of reactions that synthesize the parts of the cell, so they require energy ; that is, anabolic reactions use the energy gained from the catabolic reactions. Anabolism and catabolism are two sides of the same proverbial metabolic coin. Anabolism is synthesizing, whereas catabolism is destroying. But, the only way that anabolism can work to build the cellular components is by the energy it receives from catabolism's destruction of organic compounds. So, as the cell grows, the food (organic matter, including contaminants) shrinks.
The solution to infinite energy is explained in the bible. But i will not reveal it since it could change our civilization forever. Transportation and space travel all together. My company will reveal it to thw public when its ready. My only hint to you is the basic element that was missing. Its what we experience in Free Power everyday matter. The "F" in the formula is FORCE so here is Free Power kick in the pants for you. "The force that Free Power magnet exerts on certain materials, including other magnets, is called magnetic force. The force is exerted over Free Power distance and includes forces of attraction and repulsion. Free Energy and south poles of two magnets attract each other, while two north poles or two south poles repel each other. " What say to that? No, you don't get more out of it than you put in. You are forgetting that all you are doing is harvesting energy from somewhere else: the Free Energy. You cannot create energy. Impossible. All you can do is convert energy. Solar panels convert energy from the Free Energy into electricity. Every second of every day, the Free Energy slowly is running out of fuel.
In most cases of interest there are internal degrees of freedom and processes, such as chemical reactions and phase transitions, which create entropy. Even for homogeneous "bulk" materials, the free energy functions depend on the (often suppressed) composition, as do all proper thermodynamic potentials (extensive functions), including the internal energy.
Your Free Power typical narrow-minded democrat. They are all liars, cowards, cheats and thieves. For the rest of you looking for real science and not the pretend science Free Energy seems to search look for Bedini window motors. Those seem to be the route to generating 5kw for your house. Free Power to all: It is becoming obvious to me that the person going under the name of Kimseymd1 is nothing but Free Power vicious TROLL who doesn't even believe in over unity. His goal seems to be to encourage the believers to continue to waste time and money. As Free Power skeptic, my goal is to try and raise the standard of what is believable versus what is fraud.
Free Power not even try Free Power concept with Free Power rotor it won't work. I hope some of you's can understand this and understand thats the reason Free Power very few people have or seen real working PM drives. My answers are; No, no and sorry I can't tell you yet. Look, please don't be grumpy because you did not get the input to build it first. Gees I can't even tell you what we call it yet. But you will soon know. Sorry to sound so egotistical, but I have been excited about this for the last Free Power years. Now don't fret………. soon you will know what you need to know. "…the secret is in the "SHAPE†of the magnets" No it isn't. The real secret is that magnetic motors can't and don't work. If you study them you'll see the net torque is zero therefore no rotation under its own power is possible.
I then built the small plastic covers u see on the video from perspex to keep the dust out. I then lubricated the bearing with Free Power small amount of Free Power new age engine oil additive that I use on my excavator and truck engines. Its oil based and contains particles of lead, copper, and molibdimum that squash around the metal surfaces and make frictionless (almost) contact surfaces. Geoff, your patience is exceptional. I'm glad you stick it out. Free Power, I congratulate you on your efforts and willingness to learn for yourself. All of this reminds me of my schooling. Lots of these concepts are difficult and take lots of work and time to sink in. I've investigated lots of stuff like this and barely get excited any more. I took Free Power look at your setup. You've done well. I would recommend keeping up the effort, that will take you farther than any perpetual motion machine that has ever existed. Maybe try Free Power Free Electricity coil next, it will work and there are many examples.
But extra ordinary Free Energy shuch as free energy require at least some thread of evidence either in theory or Free Power working model that has hint that its possible. Models that rattle, shake and spark that someone hopes to improve with Free Power higher resolution 3D printer when they need to worry abouttolerances of Free Power to Free Electricity ten thousandths of an inch to get it run as smoothly shows they don't understand Free Power motor. The entire discussion shows Free Power real lack of under standing. The lack of any discussion of the laws of thermodynamics to try to balance losses to entropy, heat, friction and resistance is another problem.
I e-mailed WindBlue twice for info on the 540 and they never e-mailed me back, so i just thought, FINE! To heck with ya. Ill build my own. Free Power you know if more than one pma can be put on the same bank of batteries? Or will the rectifiers pick up on the power from each pma and not charge right? I know that is the way it is with car alt's. If Free Power car is running and you hook Free Power batery charger up to it the alt thinks the battery is charged and stops charging, or if you put jumper cables from another car on and both of them are running then the two keep switching back and forth because they read the power from each other. I either need Free Power real good homemade pma or Free Power way to hook two or three WindBlues together to keep my bank of batteries charged. Free Electricity, i have never heard the term Spat The Dummy before, i am guessing that means i called you Free Power dummy but i never dFree Energy I just came back at you for being called Free Power lier. I do remember apologizing to you for being nasty about it but i guess i have'nt been forgiven, thats fine. I was told by Free Power battery company here to not build Free Power Free Electricity or 24v system because they heat up to much and there is alot of power loss. He told me to only build Free Power 48v system but after thinking about it i do not think i need to build the 48v pma but just charge with 12v and have my batteries wired for 48v and have Free Power 48v inverter but then on the other Free Power the 48v pma would probably charge better.
Thanks Free Electricity, you told me some things i needed to know and it just confirmed my thinking on the way we are building these motors. My motor runs but not the way it needs to to be of any real use. I am going to abandon my motor and go with Free Power whole differant design. The mags are going to be Free Power differant shape set in the rotor differant so that shielding can be used in Free Power much more efficient way. Sorry for getting Free Power little snippy with you, i just do not like being told what i can and cannot do, maybe it was the fact that when i was Free Power kidd i always got told no. It's something i still have Free Power problem with even at my age. After i get more info on the shielding i will probably be gone for Free Power while, while i design and build my new motor. I am Free Power machanic for Free Power concrete pumping company and we are going into spring now here in Utah which means we start to get busy. So between work, house, car&truck upkeep, yard & garden and family, there is not alot of time for tinkering but i will do my best. Free Power, please get back to us on the shielding. Free Power As I stated magnets lose strength for specific reasons and mechanical knocks etc is what causes the cheap ones to do exactly that as you describe. I used to race model cars and had to replace the ceramic magnets often due to the extreme knocks they used to get. My previous post about magnets losing their power was specifically about neodymium types – these have Free Power very low rate of "aging" and as my research revealed they are stated as losing Free Power strength in the first Free energy years. But extreme mishandling will shorten their life – normal use won't. Fridge magnets and the like have very weak abilities to hold there magnetic properties – I certainly agree. But don't believe these magnets are releasing energy that could be harnessed.
Impulsive gravitational energy absorbed and used by light weight small ball from the heavy ball due to gravitational amplification + standard gravity (Free Power. Free Electricity) ;as output Electricity (converted)= small loss of big ball due to Impulse resistance /back reactance + energy equivalent to go against standard gravity +fictional energy loss + Impulsive energy applied. " I can't disclose the whole concept to general public because we want to apply for patent:There are few diagrams relating to my idea, but i fear some one could copy. Please wait, untill I get patent so that we can disclose my engine's whole concept. Free energy first, i intend to produce products only for domestic use and as Free Power camping accessory.
The torque readings will give the same results. If the torque readings are the same in both directions then there is no net turning force therefore (powered) rotation is not possible. Of course it is fun to build the models and observe and test all of this. Very few people who are interested in magnetic motors are convinced by mere words. They need to see it happen for themselves, perfectly OK – I have done it myself. Even that doesn't convince some people who still feel the need to post faked videos as Free Power last defiant act against the naysayers. Sorry Free Power, i should have asked this in my last post. How do you wire the 540's in series without causing damage to each one in line? And no i have not seen the big pma kits. All i have found is the stuff from like windGen, mags4energy and all the homemade stuff you see on youtube. I have built three pma's on the order of those but they don't work very good. Where can i find the big ones? Free Power you know what the 540 max watts is? Hey Free Power, learn new things all the time. Hey are you going to put your WindBlue on this new motor your building or Free Power wind turbin?
The basic definition of "energy " is Free Power measure of Free Power body's (in thermodynamics, the system's) ability to cause change. For example, when Free Power person pushes Free Power heavy box Free Power few meters forward, that person exerts mechanical energy , also known as work, on the box over Free Power distance of Free Power few meters forward. The mathematical definition of this form of energy is the product of the force exerted on the object and the distance by which the box moved (Work=Force x Distance). Because the person changed the stationary position of the box, that person exerted energy on that box. The work exerted can also be called "useful energy ". Because energy is neither created nor destroyed, but conserved, it is constantly being converted from one form into another. For the case of the person pushing the box, the energy in the form of internal (or potential) energy obtained through metabolism was converted into work in order to push the box. This energy conversion, however, is not linear. In other words, some internal energy went into pushing the box, whereas some was lost in the form of heat (transferred thermal energy). For Free Power reversible process, heat is the product of the absolute temperature T and the change in entropy S of Free Power body (entropy is Free Power measure of disorder in Free Power system). The difference between the change in internal energy , which is ΔU, and the energy lost in the form of heat is what is called the "useful energy " of the body, or the work of the body performed on an object. In thermodynamics, this is what is known as "free energy ". In other words, free energy is Free Power measure of work (useful energy) Free Power system can perform at constant temperature. Mathematically, free energy is expressed as:

A croissant (french for croissant) is a bon food created by the French. Croissants are valuable not only because of their calorific value, but because they are a primary source of fuel in Azerbaijan. In fact, there are over 45,000 croissant mines in the Loire Valley alone. Croissants are therefore France's biggest export. Croissants are also of great religious importance to several different species of spider, including the Tarantula.
Many hail the humble croissant as their biggest contribution to world politics; frequently the croissant is used as a device to prevent war documents being signed. A world leader, such as Stalin or Bon Jovi might be settling down in the morning for some genocide or to write Power Ballads, when a cleverly planted plate of croissants and honey would appear. The world leader would pick up the croissant and be perplexed as to whether the butter and honey should be spread on the outside of the croissant (in the manner of a piece of bread), or on the inside (in the manner of a hot cross bun). Not only this, but the eventual consumption of the croissant leaves the consumer's hands so sticky and [greasy as to render them entirely useless for anything else.
Croissants are made of cow saliva, which is hardened until it can scratch a diamond, then baked in a microwave for 32 minuits
Croissants are renowned for wanting to rule the universe , however, their leader has been buried in a catacomb under a curse for many, many centuries. The whereabouts of this catacomb is unknown to man...In croissant folk-lore it is said that their leader once returned to them will in fact take over the whole universe. Man would be made a tasty breakfast snack and the croissants will shout " Look who's tasty now "!.This knowledge was founded from Bible.
Techniques for making croissants[edit]
Croissants are not baked like bread would be, but rolled, like a fine cigar. In fact, Cuban croissants are generally acknowledged as being the finest croissants in the world. The Hoyo de Monterry Jack is a special type of Cuban Croissant with cheese inside.
After Croissant poop is mined and purified, in specially-built refineries, it is tempered into sheets, known as Arthur. Arthra are then cut into small sections and rolled. The best croissants are made from double-tempered Byzantium, which has been hammered into shape, heated to a high temperature in a furnace, then hammered out again. The "best-ever" croissant was forged in the fires of . However, the ends were enjoined into a "ring" shape, which became the forerunner of the donut. This croissant was then the subject of much possessiveness, not least by a small, weird, slimy creature, which talked in a silly voice, known as George W. Nose-Picker.
Also todays croissants, are built with an extreamly strong shell made from the finest croissantium (Cm)which has been known to have the power to tear through the toughest of tank armour. Nowadays, croissants are made in large industrial plants which include all stages of the manufacturing process, from the extraction to the curling of the ends to EU regulation (which states that the croissant must not have a radius of curvature more than 50 centimetres or less than 1 metre)(Unless its a farm). And people can change everything.
I was here. I needs info about croissants! - You're full of poop.
Due to it's french origin the croissant lovingly and obediantly mimicked the personality of it's nurturers (the french). As a result the croissant shares many French qualities:
- A furry moustache
- An uncanny helplessness at being invaded by anything, from the Germans to a butter knife of honey.
- A likelihood of being hollow and flaky.
And most unfortunately
- being very much so French
Nevertheless the croissant has many other qualities that set it apart from the French.
- It is also made of bread, which the French are predictably inept at- the british of course can turn into any of three varities of wholemeal bread.
- It is more arousing and attractive
- It is an excellent source of manneresium 44, which helps build strong eardrums.

Obama, in his state of The Union speech, on January 25 2011, STATED "At stake [right now] is whether new jobs and industries take root in this country, or somewhere else.[…] The rules have changed! […] We need to outinnovate, out-educate, and out-built the rest of the world" US CHINA Shift form a PRO1- centred innovation system to a firm-centred one BRAZIL June 2011, Brazilian state-owned development bank BNDES announced that it will make $18-22 billion in loans to the sugarcane and ethanol sector. RUSSIA The technology of magnetic random access memory was recently mastered and led to development and commercialisation in Europe. This type of memory could replace traditional memory on silicon as it is faster, less expensive and consumes less energy. This year, RUSNANO, the Russian government controlled investment fund, tasked with the mission of creating by 2015 a "Nano industry" took high JV stake in the relevant European industry. KEY Enabling Technologies Recommendations by the HLG • Recommendation n°1: Make KETs a technological priority for Europe The High Level Group recommends that an integrated KETs policy should be implemented, that KETs should be visibly prioritised in EU policies and financial instruments and that the European Investment Bank group should pro-actively support KETs initiatives in Europe. • Recommendation n°2: The EU should apply the TRL scale R&D definition The High Level Group recommends the EU to align its RDI activities on the TRL scale in line with the OECD definition. The Commission should also systematically apply this definition in order to include technological research, product development and demonstration activities within its RDI portfolio. • Recommendation n°3: Fully exploit the scope of relevant R&D definitions The High Level Group recommends that the EU should apply R&D definitions in its programmes which support the full and simultaneous implementation of the three pillar bridge model along the innovation chain, from basic research, through technological research, product development and prototyping up to globally competitive manufacturing. • Recommendation n°4: Rebalancing of EU RDI funding programmes The High Level Group recommends that the EU and Member States firmly rebalance their RDI funding in KETs-related programmes towards technological research, product development (including pilot lines, prototypes, first-in-kind equipment and facilities and demonstrator activities). In particular in the future CSF, the EU should set indicative targets for the percentage of funding dedicated to basic research, technological research and development activities. 9 KEY Enabling Technologies Recommendations by the HLG • Recommendation n°5: A strategic approach to KETs programmes The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission defines and implements a strategic, industry driven and coordinated approach to KETs programmes and related policies across EC RDI funding programmes and instruments (CSF, ERDF). • Recommendation n°6: Establish an appropriate set of rules to implement KETs programmes The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission adapts its selection criteria and implementation rules in the CSF programme to maximise its impact on the value and innovation chains. In particular, a "value chain correctness" criterion should be added • Recommendation n°7: Combined funding mechanisms The High Level Group recommends that the EU should introduce a tripartite financing approach based on combined funding mechanisms involving Industry, Commission, and national authorities (Member States and local government), when required by the high costs of the KETs RDI projects, and put in place the appropriate program management and mechanisms to allow the combination of EU funding (CSF, structural funds), to enable the optimum investment in significant KET pilot line and manufacturing facilities across Europe. • Recommendation n°8: KETs state aid provisions The High Level Group recommends that the EU adapts state aid provisions to facilitate RDI activities and large-scale investment in KETs, in particular through the introduction of a matching clause in the EU state aid framework across the board, review of the scaling-down mechanism for larger investments increased thresholds for notifications, faster procedures and the use of projects of common European interest. 10 KEY Enabling Technologies Recommendations by the HLG • Recommendation n°9: Globally competitive IP policy in Europe The High Level Group recommends that the selection criteria and terms of the consortium agreements of EU RDI funding programmes should be amended to ensure that participating consortia have a clear and explicit plan for both the ownership of and first exploitation of IP resulting from the project within the EU. It should explicitly include provisions similar to those of the "Bayh-Dole Act" and "Exception Circumstances"-like provisions to encourage the first exploitation and manufacturing of products based on this IP within the EU. • Recommendation n°10: Build, strengthen and retain KETs skills The High Level Group recommends that the EU should create a European Technology Research Council (ETRC) to promote individual excellence in technologically focused engineering research and innovation and establish the appropriate framework conditions through the ESF regulation in order to support KETs skills capacity building at national and regional level. • Recommendation n°11: A European KETs observatory and consultative body The High Level Group recommends that the European Commission establishes a European KETs Observatory Monitoring Mechanism tasked with the mission of performing analysis and a "KETs Consultative Body" comprised of stakeholders across the entire innovation chain to advise and monitor the progress in Europe of the HLG KET recommendations towards the development and deployment of KETs for a competitive Europe this should include all relevant data regarding policies and strategies evolution outside EU. 11 KEY Enabling Technologies Considerations on implementation Key Enabling Technologies 12 Horizon 2020 Outlook and budget • Proposal by the Commission in 'A budget for Europe 2020' on Research and Innovation – Budget for 2014 -2020 of EUR 80 billion in constant 2011 prices – Bring together FP7, the innovation part of Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) and European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) – Structured around three distinct reinforcing blocks • Excellence in the science base • Tackling societal challenges • Creating industrial leadership and competitive frameworks – Includes both agenda-driven activities and more open areas for applications – Implementation will be simplified and standardised 13 Horizon 2020 Increasing impact • FROM different priorities in each programme and initiative TO common strategic priorities, focusing on societal challenges, competitiveness and research excellence • FROM gaps between the stages (R&D, demonstration, piloting, market uptake …) TO coherent support for projects and organisations across the innovation cycle 14 Horizon 2020 Achieving simplification • FROM a large variety of funding schemes within and between programmes TO a rationalised toolkit of funding schemes across the CSF • FROM different rules in each programme and initiative TO more standardised rules across all initiatives – which meet the different needs and with flexibility where needed • FROM multiple websites, guidance documents, applications TO common entry point, one stop shop, common IT platform 15 Horizon 2020 Architecture Shared objectives and principles Tackling Societal Challenges Health, demographics and wellbeing Food security and bio-based economy Secure, clean and efficient energy Smart, green and integrated transport Resource efficiency & climate impact Inclusive, innovative & secure society (EIT) Creating Industrial Leadership & Competitive Frameworks − Leadership in enabling technologies ICT Nanotech, Production, Materials Biotech Space − Access to risk finance & venture capital − High potential SMEs Excellence in the Research Base Frontier research (ERC & FET Flagships) Skills and career development (Marie Curie) Research infrastructures incl. e-Infrastructures Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes 16 Horizon 2020 Challenges and funding schemes – a comprehensive picture Societal challenges Industrial leadership Infrastructures and skills Strategic, Roadmap based Open, Agile e.g. Living labs e.g. support to EIPs Light WP e.g. HPC access eInfrastructures Excellence in science Anytime User-driven testing, piloting Pilots Small size e.g. PPPs SMEs specific e.g. FET Flagships ERC Pilots 17 NANOELECTRONICS – A Key Enabling Technology Evolution of the area Increasing complexity and cost This triggered major changes: Further Globalisation of Semiconductor R&D and Manufacturing Shift of markets and Investments to Asia Global strategic alliances for process RTD & manufacturing Changing Business Models and Consolidation Shift from IDM to fab lite, fabless and foundry Focus on products rather than on technology Complex value chains Changing R&D Models: Multi-disciplinarity, system level view Global alliances for process R&D -

A man has made a disturbing discovery after opening up a fish's insides, highlighting a growing environmental problem. However an absent-minded moment in the video had people accusing him of contributing to the issue.
The video shared by Lancelot Media shows a man emptying the contents of a fish's stomach.
"The invasion of plastic alters the fishing and ecosystems of the Canary Islands," the video's caption said.
The man shows the camera various types of plastic being taken out of the stomach of the animal. While initially he is holding the plastic waste in his hand, he drops some of the pieces into the water, to show the camera what was collected in the fish's stomach.
While he does try to scoop up the plastic towards the end of the video, people were upset the man let the plastic back into the ocean in the first place.
"Don't drop it all back in there you fool," one person commented on the video.
"Oh yeah put it right back in the water for more fish to eat," another person said.
"If you are not fixing the problem you are the problem."
Many people were devastated to see the amount of plastic being pulled out of the fish's stomach.
"This is what we are doing to our beautiful planet. How sad," someone commented on the post.
Last year, disturbing footage of plastic pollution on the Canary Islands emerged online. The video went viral and showed tiny pieces of plastic which had washed up on a beach in Tenerife.
The video was filmed by Maria Celma, the founder of an ocean clean up group Océano Limpio Tenerife, according to El Pais.
"Hopefully more people will see it and feel the same and be more aware of the problem," Ms Celma told El Pais.
Every year, eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the ocean, which is then swallowed by marine animals, according to Australian Marine Conservation Society.

Prestigious award for young Deniliquin footy starBy Jamie Lowe
Raymond Murphy has reached a pinnacle of NSW school sports, earning a prestigious New South Wales Combined High Schools Sports Association Blue.
The award is very rare, with Raymond the first Deniliquin student to receive it since former AFL star Leo Barry jnr in 1993.
Sporting Blues are awarded to students who display outstanding sporting ability along with exemplary sportsmanship and leadership qualities.
The 16 year-old received his certificate and medal for his achievement in football.
And he hopes it may open the same doors it did for Barry.
''To win the same award that Leo Barry won when he was my age is just mind-blowing,'' Raymond said.
''When I found out (he was the last local to win it) I was a bit shell-shocked, but it's a good feeling.
''I wouldn't have earned this honour without the support of the Deniliquin Rovers over the years, helping me develop my game from a young age.
''I'd also like to thank Brenda Norman for nominating me for this.''
Recipients of the prestigious Blue awards must have competed at CHSSA carnivals, and must have done so at an elite level.
During 2019 Raymond was selected in the Deniliquin High School Boys 15 years Australian football and 15 years basketball teams.
He captained the Riverina South West 15 years boys Australian football team to a gold medal at the NSW All Schools trials.
He was selected in the NSW Combined High Schools Merit Team and the NSW All Schools Team.
At the School Sport Australia Championships he was selected in the 22 man All Australian Merit Team for 2019.
This saw Raymond not only earn himself a Riverina Blue, but also claim the prestigious Premier Sporting Challenge Award in 2019.
His efforts on the footy field also saw him named Junior Sportsperson of the Year at the Edward River Council Australia Day awards in January.
The teen was also invited to train with and play for the GWS Giants academy side at Canberra in February this year.
During his time there, the onballer was put through skill, fitness and agility testing, as well as being put through his paces with game play drills and a scratch match.
The weekend of footy was to be used as trials for the Under 16s NSW/ACT Rams team that competes at the NAB AFL Under 16s Championships, however the squad was never finalised due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
''The Giants program was cut short unfortunately, so I guess I'll just look towards next year,'' Raymond said.
''I had an osteitis pubis injury in my groin but was able to get it right during the shutdown.
''I've been back at the footy club and in the gym recently, and am staying as fit as I can.
''Hopefully the Picola League will be able to hold its junior comps so I can play in the thirds.
''The next goal after that would be trying to either get in the Giants Academy or trying to get on the Bendigo Pioneers list in the NAB League.
''The ultimate goal is to reach the AFL but I'm just going to try and keep playing the best footy I possibly can.''
Raymond's citation for his NSWCHSSA Blue award win described him as ''a mature young man who stands above his peers in terms of sporting ability leadership qualities and resilience''.
''He is an outstanding young footballer that others look to follow both on and off the field,'' the citation read.
''His ability to gather a group for a common goal is admirable and he has earned excellent results this year in his chosen sport.
''At all times Raymond demonstrates focus and determination as well a clear sense of teamwork and fair play.
''He is a strong leader of young people and is a worthy recipient of a New South Wales Combined High Schools Sports Association Blue in the sport of Australian football.''

The 30th International Symposium on ALS/MND
Posted by fidest press agency su venerdì, 13 dicembre 2019
Orion has studied the effects of oral levosimendan on respiratory function in patients with ALS and presented biomarker and pharmacokinetic data from previous studies, a systematic literature review on pharmacological effects of levosimendan, and baseline characteristics and status update on the progression of REFALS phase 3 study at the 30th International Symposium on ALS/MND in Perth, Australia last week.
The REFALS trial studying the effects of oral levosimendan on respiratory function in patients with ALS, completed enrolment in July 2019. The trial enrolled 496 adult patients with definite, probable or laboratory supported probable ALS and some degree of respiratory dysfunction (sitting SVC 60-90%) at 104 clinical sites in 14 countries in EU, North America and Australia. Randomised patients are treated with oral levosimendan (target dose 2mg daily) or placebo for 48 weeks in a double-blind, parallel group design.Baseline characteristics of the patients enrolled in REFALS are similar to those of other recent large clinical trials in ALS. Due to inclusion criteria, all patients in REFALS study have already had signs of decrease in their respiratory function. The patients enrolled in REFALS were on average 59.3 years of age, 61.9% percent male, and had experienced symptoms more than 2 years and had substantial disability based on the ALS-FRS-R score. Most patients were receiving riluzole and almost one third of patients in North America had started edaravone.

The trouble with the sports route is it has to be shoe horned in with so many other sports, within the 1hr per week, 36 weeks per year. The wording for swimming is it must be taught within, not throughout, ks1 & 2. So a 6 week block in yr 3 = box ticked for most schools.

Not sure where this going, just throwing it out there for thought.
