Shale Gas News and Information
The end of expensive energy
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
Perhaps it was because there weren't many other people to speak to at the MEDACT report on fracking launch in London, but various antis and pro's, or me at at least, had some civilised and hopefully eventually productive, conversations.
Only 24 showed up in the audience, four of them US antis so we can discount them to some extent in the UK/EU debate. There were four pro shale siders, including Michael Roberts the Reverend Geologist from Lancashire. Keeping discreetly quiet were at least four other shale PR types familiar from the conference circuit. It rather proves my recent analysis that in the world of shale opposition, it's not August 2013 anymore.That was further demonstrated by the taciturn reception the report received in the press. MEDACT did manage to get the somewhat derivative and outdated study reported by a freelancer in the Guardian, which will no doubt ripple out among the faithful, but everyone else, maybe even antis themselves judging by recent non-events, seems to be getting bored. The coming election will be exciting, but as I'll point out another time, is unlikely to change anything about UK shale.

Thanks for your kind words. I must correct you on one point -- "Paul rarely, if ever drives..." In fact I never drive because I chose many years ago not to bother getting a driving licence (it was clear in the 1980s which way the eco-wind was blowing!).

4C: climate, coal, China and change
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
These are truly wondrous times for the climate and the world gas industry. We're seeing fundamental shifts in the entire energy field as coal is dying before our eyes. That is if we choose to look, something natural gas opponents in Europe are still much in denial about.
Dieter Helm says we don't have a 2C temperature change problem, we have a 5C issue. Climate Change via Carbon from Coal in China. We are replacing coal in China with the same prescription that works in the United States: efficiency, renewables and low cost natural gas. Some will choose to ignore the role of gas at the same time they celebrate the "victory" of renewables. Others will pretend we have to choose from a menu, instead of the prescription. It's much like a course of penicillin: failure to take the whole medicine may make you feel good immediately but won't prevent a recurrence of future problems. Like anything else in nature, cross pollination of different energy sources will combine to provide innovative solutions. Efficiency and renewables alone won't cure the outdated sickness we bring upon ourselves by continuing coal use.
The new Climate Deniers are Natural Gas Deniers.

This November in Paris, the WPCC 2015 World Climate Conference will be held. Given the amount of countries involved, there have already been various meetings ahead of it, and it's clear that the two greatest emitter of carbon are out to solve the issue via a variety of ways, but the original road starts with abundant natural gas knocking coal out of the picture.
If one listens to the Green Parties and Guardians of the world, this is the last chance to save the planet, a narrative that dates from all the other failed conferences over the years. It's worth a quick look back to the previous summit in Copenhagen as reported in No Hot Air in 2009. Since then there have been smaller conferences about conferences which didn't achieve anything either, apart from Greenpeace vandalising the Nazca Lines last year. To the natural gas industry, the solution in 2009 had already fallen out of the sky as Tim Wirth noted, but this was a case of too soon. Aubrey McClendon, then of Chesapeake noted that European gas regulators had no idea of what he was talking about.

Marketers - ask for more insights from your mobile ads.
Mobile Internet has become an integral part of today's lifestyle. Whether it's news, connecting with friends on social media or watching videos, consumers want to access everything in real time. In fact, for millions in India, the mobile is their first and only screen available and with an insatiable appetite for cricket and "all things movies", mobile video snacking is fast catching up.
Mobile video drives 66 percent of all global data traffic; data traffic from Asia Pacific alone is expected to grow at a 76 percent compound annual growth rate. With other key factors working in favor—affordable handsets, cheaper data plans, and better networks—the demand for video will grow exponentially.
Marketers understand the importance of engaging consumers through mobile and recognize that reaching the right target audience through mobile advertising can be very effective. Data analytics can provide all sorts of granular data to help advertisers tailor campaigns for the right demographics, at the right time, and with the right products. Mobile phones better engage viewers as compared with desktops. The availability of un-buffered, local content also fuels mobile video watching to draw a captive audience.
Despite the excitement around mobile, however, brands have yet to realize the full potential of mobile advertising. For example, the lack of metrics to determine the effectiveness of campaigns holistically is especially challenging. CTR (click-through-rates) have long been the default measurement but do not reveal information such as brand attention, brand recall, engagement and purchase intent. In fact, up to 50 percent of the impressions created on a static mobile banner ad are from accidental clicks or "fat finger" taps, according to GoldSpot Media.
At the end of a campaign, questions often linger in the minds of brand managers: "What did this mobile ad campaign do for my brand?, How do I know if the money is well spent?, Did the campaign help meet my overall marketing goals?".
A recent study executed by research firm Millward Brown demonstrated that useful brand metrics beyond just CTR can be achieved on the mobile platform. The study included an analysis of a mobile video ad campaign by one of India's leading toothbrush brands. Mobile users were invited to participate in the study. They responded to questions about the toothbrush brand before and after exposure to the brand's mobile video ad campaign. Half of the participants were exposed to a banner advertisement of the product, while the other half also known as the control group was not.
The results of this study revealed that brand favorability was 7.9 percent higher among the exposed group as compared to the control group. Also, purchase intent amongst the participants went up by 11.1 percent. This type of information can help marketers analyze campaign success and improve future campaigns. Brand managers can also ensure their mobile advertisements are delivering the biggest bang for the buck.
Undoubtedly, this study shows that holistic brand metrics impact the effectiveness of mobile campaigns and the measurement of success. As mobile technology and content channels evolve, brand metrics must accommodate for these changes. For example, greater localization and personalization of content is becoming an increasingly critical driver of strong consumer engagement. According to an Interactive Advertising Bureau Study, relevance of location and brand preference made mobile ads most appealing to consumers.
In addition, the mobile audience no longer simply consumes media and content; it actively participates in the real-time creation and sharing of it. With these trends in mind, let's give brand managers tools they need to develop successful mobile advertising campaigns – starting with brand metrics beyond click-through-rates.

After losing the likes of Clint Dempsey, Mousa Dembele and Danny Murphy last summer, the Whites have struggled for consistency this season.
Good patches at the start of the campaign and over the Christmas period were both followed by a run of poor results, including the current streak that has seen them fail to win since April 1.
They head to Swansea on the back of five successive defeats and Jol is targeting three points that would highlight the decent work they have done in difficult circumstances.
"I would love to have a good result over there," Jol said. "That would put everything in perspective again if we could finish this season off on 43 points.
"Look at all the other teams around us - 39 points, 40, 41, 43. Swansea is probably the first team of that and could finish in the top eight if they beat us. It will be a boost for us if we can win and for the 800 or 900 fans we take with us.
"The difference between us and Swansea is the game at Craven Cottage. They've got 46 points, we've got 40.
"We were the first team that had more possession against them but two goals due to our defence gave them the win.
"If we had won, we would have both been on 43 points but they [according to pundits] were fantastic and we were useless this season. That is the Premier League, it is a thin line."

Dinner, dance, auction to buy shelter furniture
The Eighth annual Children's Aid Society Dinner, Dance, Auction Fundraiser on Sunday allowed attendees of all ages to have a day of fun while benefiting children in need.
The event, held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Outskirts on Jacksboro Highway, included a chili cook-off, silent and live auctions, a raffle for a stainless grill, a motorcycle fun run, a pork loin dinner and live music by Toby Wayne and Distant Thunder.
All proceeds from the event benefitted the CAS Children's Home and Teen Emergency Shelter.
"It's a wonderful fundraiser. Literally, we use this fundraiser for an operational expense, normally in which we're going to buy something to upgrade or help with the care of the children at the shelter and the teens," said CAS executive director Sheila Catron Choate.
Money collected at this year's fundraiser will go directly toward new living room furniture in both the Children's Home and the Teen Emergency Shelter. The current furniture was purchased with money from the very first Dinner, Dance, Auction Fundraiser.
"This year, we're actually going back to the beginning. We need new furniture again, because if you think about it, that's been eight years ago," said Choate. "We've had thousands of children, literally, use that furniture ... so if you think about normal wear and tear on your living room furniture, that's a lot.
CAS set a goal to raise $15,000 at Sunday's fundraiser, which is modest compared to previous years.
"We normally hit more than that at this auction, but the economy is down right now," Choate said. "But I tell you, any money that we raise is more money than we had yesterday. So we're just blessed that we can have the event here and that we have such wonderful support."
After purchasing new living room furniture, any money left over from the event will go to new bedspreads in the Children's Home, trundle chests for toy storage and new freezers, Choate said.
One event at the fundraiser, the three-hour motorcycle fun run, attracted bikers from all over Texoma.
"Some of the guys who are motorcycle riders from Oklahoma who are not really affiliated with a biker club, they watch for our ad and they come here every year," Choate said. "They drive down from Oklahoma just to ride in the event to help kids, so I think that's wonderful."
Various biker organizations donated their time during the fun run, including the Guardians of the Children, Bikers Against Child Abuse, The Green Knights, The Blue Knights, Patriot Guard Riders and The Legion Riders.
Attendees were also invited to enjoy a meal cooked by members of the Wichita Falls Elks club. The meal was $10 per person and was sponsored by the Elks, Does and Antlers. It included pork loin, green beans and corn on the cob.
"We work with the Children's Home all year long," said Raymond Nipper with the Elks. "We really believe in their work and they help a lot of kids and they got to have help."
Live music by Toby Wayne and Distant Thunder, a live auction and a silent auction all followed the meal. Children also enjoyed face painting and balloon art provided by Tutti Frutti and Pepper The Clown.
"Literally without this event, we could not go above and beyond to make our quality of services more well-rounded," said Choate. "We can get the job done, but this improves the overall homelike environment for the children, so we're just so thankful we get to do that."
Anyone who was unable to attend the event but would still like to donate to CAS can visit www.caswf.com.

Palmer v. District of Columbia: Upholding the 2nd Amendment
Government cannot pass laws, then place into practice rules, that effectively ban a constitutional right. That's the upshot of a ruling released late Saturday in a long-running Second Amendment case out of Washington, D.C.
A lawsuit filed years ago challenged the District of Columbia's ban on carrying handguns outside the home. U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. of New York, appointed to hear the case, Palmer v. District of Columbia, by Chief Justice John Roberts, found the right to a handgun cannot be proscribed in the fashion that D.C. did — requiring handgun owners to have a permit to carry but then issuing no permits.
Heavily relying on prior appellate court rulings, Judge Scullin said "there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the District of Columbia's total ban on public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny."
But as with Heller, the landmark 2008 ruling that affirmed the right of individuals to bear arms, Palmer does not preclude district lawmakers from adopting "a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards." Past being prologue, however, D.C.'s proclivity for disingenuous and indecipherable gun laws could make any "remedy" worse.

15 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Retail Management Internship Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Towson, MD).
I originally applied for the visual stylist internship position with Nordstrom and was sent an email that asked me to choose a time frame for a phone interview. I chose a time and was called within the first 5 minutes of the time frame I chose where I was then asked numerous questions and asked to describe specifics instances when I performed a certain way or how I handled difficult situations. When the interview ended, I was told I was a better fit for the retail management internship program and that they would love me to have me come into the store for a second interview, this time face to face. I arrived and there were 14 other people there interviewing for the exact same position as myself. They placed us all in a room together and called us in one by one into a separate room, where there were 2 HR representatives each at different ends of the room, each with a different potential intern. They asked questions similar to the ones asked in the initial interview, but more about why I felt I'd be a good fit and how I would help their company. The interview finished up by asking to sell an item they chose for me to them, which was awkward and kind of uncomfortable to say the least. Overall, the interview was rather laid back and not too intimidating, but I also felt very prepared and that was probably why I didn't feel it was that bad.
Interview Questions
- When working with others, how do you handle someone on your team not meeting deadlines and pulling their weight when it is affecting your personal performance and preventing you from doing what you need to do? Describe a time when this happened and how you handled it. Answer Question

The Feast of Thanksgiving
Our dinner tables will soon be spread with the bounty of our perennial harvest. It is the great day of shared abundance known to all as Thanksgiving.
Plates will be piled high with favorite dishes amid the usual traditional fare. This is a holiday that all Americans celebrate in unity.
Many will express gratitude to God for their ample provisions. And many have already given generously to those less fortunate. Some will attend a church gathering where they will give thanks for God's blessings in their life. In a day filled with family and friends, delectable foods, plus afternoon football, this quiet pause sets a tone that honors God.
My goal for this day of celebration is a simple Bible verse. "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (I Corinthians 10:31). Over-indulgence is a huge temptation at this time of year, so I'm taking St. Paul's instruction to heart. I've found that a little mental preparation through prayer helps strengthen my resolve to be temperate during all the festivities.
I'm giving my self-control an extra boost with these words from a companion book to the Bible: "The divine Mind is the Soul of man, and gives man dominion over all things" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy).
As united compatriots on this day of gratitude, may we offer a blessing together. "Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving" (Psalms 147:17).

But for a large portion of elderly patients with localized pancreatic cancer even chemotherapy and radiation therapy are not options.
The Henry Ford study looked to determine if SBRT – a method of giving radiation that can be highly targeted to the tumor, sparing the normal tissue around it – was a viable option for this group of patients. SBRT provides a higher dose of radiation, meaning patients have fewer treatments. In this case, treatment averaged two weeks.
The study included 20 patients with a median age of 83, all of whom were medically unable to tolerate surgery or combined chemo-radiation therapy. The majority of patients in the study (90 percent) received SBRT treatment at the time of diagnosis.
Seven patients reported side-effects from treatment: nausea, vomiting and fatigue.
Among the patients: 13 had a recurrence of cancer; nine had cancer spread from the original tumor to distant organs or distant lymph nodes.
Median overall survival was 6.7 months, and median recurrence-free survival was 8.1 months. At six months post-treatment, 61 percent of patients were alive; two patients in the study survived nearly two years.
"National trends tell us that very few patients over the age of 75 are getting any treatment at all for pancreatic cancer due to comorbidity risks," notes Dr. Yechieli. "So we want to push the envelope to give them a treatment option that, while not a cure, is short, effective and safe, and has the potential to give them a good quality of life."
The next step in this research, Dr. Yechieli says, is to closely follow patients after SBRT and get their direct feedback to measure post-treatment quality of life.
Along with Dr.
