Luke 4: 1-14
For many people the devil is the doorkeeper of Hell, the picture of evil, and the darkest of beings. In the book of Job in the Old Testament, the one called Satan is invited by The Lord to try to break down a faithful man. In religious folklore, Satan would often lead fallen angels to do malevolent things to people on the earth. And we know there was a serpent in Genesis that was the epitome of a tempter. Sometimes these titles and tasks of the Evil One get muddled in our minds, with roots coming from different traditions. Today Luke describes the devil talking to Jesus. Was this devil an actual being, as some have believed since they were young? Or was this devil a voice in the head of an emaciated Jesus coupled with a mirage in the desert? People may love to say "The devil made me do it," but it could also be, as I pointed out in my children's sermon, that a voice seems to speak to us in one ear to commend us for a decision with words like: "That's the right thing to do; good choice!" while another voice entices us to make bad choices with words like: "Go ahead! Have a little fun! No one will know! You deserve it!" Today's lesson is almost like a play, a morality play about making choices, and having to bear the consequences of each choice. The devil challenged Jesus to do three different acts as tests. At the end of the day, you too may decide the devil is less of a living being and more of a weakness of conscience in one's own mind. Let's see. God gave us free will to choose and said: "Choose you this day whom you will serve." [Joshua 24: 15]
That struggle has been depicted in this story:
An old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
And his grandfather replied, "The one you feed."
That was Jesus' choice in the desert, and our choice every day.
Years ago I read this story in the first issue of Events Magazine:
A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem Bureau had an apartment overlooking the Western Wall. Every day when she looked out, she saw an old bearded Jewish man praying vigorously. Certain he would be a good subject to interview, the journalist went down to the Wall and introduced herself to the old man. She asked, "You come every day to the Wall? How long have you being doing that? What are you praying for?" The old man replied, "I have come here to pray from twenty-five years. In the morning, I pray for world peace and the brotherhood of man. I go home and have a cup of tea, then I come back and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth. And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians." The journalist was impressed and asked this follow-up question: "How does it make you feel to come here every day for twenty-five years and pray for all these wonderful things?" And the man lowered his head and said: "Like I am talking to a wall."
Our goal as Christians, I believe, is to always, in every situation, make the devil feel like he is talking to a wall. Jesus gave just a passing reply to each of the temptations he heard. But often we can be more like Adam and Eve. They gave in to the temptation to eat from the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3. It's as if Eve decided to make an apple pie from the fruit for dessert and Adam decided he couldn't pass it up! But it was bitter fruit. It made their heads spin. As they ate that fruit, what came to my mind was the Disney scene when a wicked witch gave a poison apple to Snow White! "No! Don't eat it!" The world spun and those first humans tripped into the irreversible world of sin. In their perfect world, the glass that was more than half full became half empty. Poor choices brought on consequences. For example: the tempter was now a slithering serpent; disagreements grew in the Garden like dandelions; and childbirth became so difficult it would be called "labor." History would call it the fall from grace; Christian doctrines often refer to it as the original sin; the event from which Jesus was born to save us. Jesus was both human and divine, which is important. He had to be connected with God so his actions could save our souls, not just lose his own life. Also his humanness really mattered, because he was tempted as you and I are tempted. A person in Alcoholics Anonymous once told me, "It takes a drunk to connect with another drunk." In a similar fashion, prisoners often listen better to former prisoners, and people who want to get clean from drugs may listen best to someone who used before. Today we've been reminded: "Jesus was tempted as we are, yet he did not sin." So what is the secret for doing that? Here are two thoughts:
Sister Molly Monahan, herself an alcoholic, said this in her book Seeds of Grace- A Nun's Reflection on the Spirituality of Alcoholics Anonymous:
"I know from the sad stories I have heard from or about others who have had relapses even after years of sobriety, that I am always in recovery, never cured; that if I denied my alcoholism and began drinking, I would lose all the good things in my life. By analogy then with my disease, that is what I think sinfulness looks like, what we all look like in our sinful state; these are the lineaments of the visage we bear as children of Adam and Eve; the marks of what we call original sin. 1) Our sinfulness is always destructive … in some way to ourselves and others ….And 2) We cannot save ourselves. We are utterly dependent on the love, and power, and goodness of God who is willing to help us, and we need others to bring us to this knowledge and power." [pp. 150-151]
The Apostle Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, described our situation writing: "As in Adam, all die; but in Christ, shall all be made alive!" [1 Corinthians 15:22] Without Jesus, we have no sure hope of being saved from the consequences of choosing our way instead of God's way.
A second thought comes from the Scottish preacher, James S. Stewart in his book The Life and Teaching of Jesus Christ. In it he says:
"The Master's fight with Satan happened out in a desert, far from the beaten track and the eyes of men ….Yet the evangelists are able to give a vivid and detailed account. How has that come about? Clearly there is only one explanation: the story came from the lips of Christ himself. Why did Jesus tell it—why did he go back and bring it to light? For curiosity? For biography? No. To first help his disciples through their own temptation hours; and second, because the titanic struggle of the desert days and nights had marked his soul forever and he could not forget." [Abingdon Press, 1978]
Don't we at times, like Jesus, have great struggles against sin regarding, drink, or drugs, or sex, or stealing or suicidal thoughts that put us in the wilderness with the devil? Can you remember times when your thoughts were unholy or your actions were destructive; when you thought your salvation might be in jeopardy? Jesus' preparation for ministry was marked by vivid, rigorous soul testing. In honor of the price he paid not just on the cross, but in his time of trial, we too know we can enter our own deserts, prepared for the tempters we will face. Today, remember the verse of the hymn "This is My Father's World" that said: "Oh let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet." Stand firm with Jesus, so the devil, when trying to tempt you, will feel like he (or she!) is talking to a wall.

USDCAD pair has been trading range bound since market opened for the day. Volatility around the pair is low even when considering holiday season owing to ongoing geo-political issues that has caused investors to take on cautious stance and limit any possibility of major chance in price action during year end trading sessions. January 2019 is going to experience unusually high volatility for start of year regardless of which direction price activity in equity and forex markets may take as key political and economic issues are to be addressed and are expected to be resolved. The pair's price action is currently influenced by USD price dynamics and US greenback is currently suffering lack of demand owing to partial government shutdown in US and T.Yield curve inversion which hints at slowdown in economic growth.
Canadian Markets Closed For The Day
Three such major events that will affect the price action in Loonie are OPEC's production/supply cut, new congress swearing in on January 3rd 2019 and finally Sino-U.S. trade talks – the outcome of which will greatly impact demand for crude oil in broad market and any change in Crude oil market will directly influence Loonie's movement in broad market owing to being commodity linked currency. As of writing this article, USDCAD pair is trading flat at 1.3601 up by 0.06% on the day. Canadian market is closed for the day and US calendar doesn't have any major high impact data release scheduled for the day which suggests range bound price action is to continue during today's market hours.
This holiday season is set to see dovish price action dominate in all key markets as trading session comes to close for the year. Owing to lack of volatility amid holiday season the price action hasn't deviated much from Monday's path which suggests that short term outlook remains unchanged in technical perspective. The pair recently traded as high as 1.3617 and later corrected lower. It declined below 1.3600 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent leg from the 1.3512 low to 1.3613 high. However, there are many barriers for sellers near the 1.3580 level and a bullish trend line on the hourly chart. Therefore, the pair is likely to resume it upward move above 1.3610 and it could even break the 1.3630 resistance. On the downside, an initial support is at 1.3588, below which the pair could decline towards the 1.3565 support one and the 50 SMA.

California Governor Jerry Brown (D) released on May 13 the "May Revise" update to his 2016-2017 budget proposal, and it included a controversial proposal to expedite rental housing development approvals. Concerned with the extraordinary cost burdens experienced by California renters, Mr. Brown proposes to streamline approval timelines and reduce regulatory barriers by establishing a "by-right" process for attached multifamily housing that meets certain requirements. Under the proposed legislation, called "Streamlining Affordable Housing Proposals," local governments would not be able to require discretionary reviews of new developments through tools such as conditional use or planned unit development permits. Instead, development proposals can only be blocked by local governments when documentation is provided to show that the new rental housing would not meet the criteria of existing local housing plans and zoning codes.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) asserts that the new proposal would complement, rather than replace, local zoning codes and housing plans. Under the proposed change, all developments eligible for a "by-right" process must be located on sites designated for housing, and the proposals must be consistent with current zoning. HCD also touts the proposals potential to expand affordable rental housing. All developments created through this process will be required to provide 20% of all units affordable to low income households at 80% of area median income (AMI). For those developments proposed in Transit Priority Areas (TPA), either 10% of housing units must be affordable to low income households or 5% must be affordable to very low income (VLI) households with rents set at the 50% of AMI.
Housing advocates in California welcome Mr. Brown's leadership on urgent efforts to produce more rental housing throughout the state, but have expressed concerns about specific elements of the proposal. Nine affordable housing and homelessness advocacy organizations submitted a letter to Mr. Brown on May 27, urging specific amendments and additions to the proposed legislation and promising their support if specific changes are made. Some of the proposed changes are included in updated language that was released as technical modifications to the proposed trailer bill on June 1. Advocates were successful in getting language added to ensure "no net loss" of affordable units. This provision stipulates that no development approved under the "by-right" process may provide fewer affordable units or higher rents compared with the rental housing it might replace. Other recommendations, such as expanding the required period of affordability from 30 years to 55, have not been included in the new legislative draft. The proposal must still be approved by the state legislature when they vote on the budget this summer, and advocates will continue efforts to improve the proposal.
Housing advocates believe strongly that development-by-right will be only one piece of solving the housing affordability problem in California. Additional funding for effective housing programs will be equally important. The coalition of advocates stressed in their letter the importance of the California Senate's "No Place Like Home" legislative package that includes a $2 billion bond initiative for constructing permanent supportive housing for people who are homeless.
The coalition working to modify the development-by-right proposal include three NLIHC state coalition partners—Housing California, California Housing Partnership, and California Coalition for Rural Housing. Other signers of the letter are California Housing Consortium, Western Center on Law and Poverty, California Rural Legal Assistance Corporation, LeadingAge California, San Diego Housing Federation, and the Kennedy Commission.
Development-by-right is an idea that has been discussed for many years in California but has faced strong opposition from environmental groups and local governments. Mr. Brown's by-right proposal will allow developments that include affordable housing to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which requires various compliance measures to protect public health. Proponents for development-by-right argue that CEQA evaluations and sometimes the resulting legal challenges can tie up developments for years, exacerbating the shortage of available rental housing. A bill seeking to achieve the same development-by-right changes as Mr. Brown's budget proposal recently died in the legislature.
"Development-by-right would help provide affordable housing developers with greater certainty and, in some cases, reduce the costs of long delays in local approvals and community review," said Rob Wiener, Executive Director at California Coalition for Rural Housing. "This approach, however, is only one piece of a bigger puzzle and a relatively minor one at that. Governor Brown needs to show his support for affordable housing by embracing bold funding initiatives currently proposed by the legislature and not linking funding for affordable housing to passage of development-by-right legislation that mostly benefits market-rate housing."
Another coalition of community organizations submitted a letter to State Senate President Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Los Angeles), specifically asking them to defeat the development-by-right proposal in the budget. The letter was signed by more than 50 statewide and community organizations who oppose Mr. Brown's proposal both because the affordable housing requirement is not bold enough and because development-by-right will decrease opportunities for low income residents to have a voice the developments proposed for their communities. The letter contends that a public approval process is often the only opportunity for renters to oppose new developments that will drive up housing values and increase neighborhood displacement. Signers of the letter include numerous organizations representing communities of color and contends that gentrification will likely increase due to Mr. Brown's proposal.

A History Of Innovation
Leach has a long history of innovating in the industry. When it comes to graphic display and printing, Leach is one of the most celebrated and recognised names in the field. With a reputation for continued invention and producing imaginative, cutting-edge products and technologies, Leach will help drive the industry towards new ground for years to come.
Leach celebrated our 125th anniversary in 2016. To have continued to innovate in the field of graphic display design and production for so long would seem difficult. But that's exactly what Leach have done, carving a proud history for consistently taking bold new steps in product innovation. Here's a quick timeline of Leach's history in innovation:
1895 – Early into Leach's existence our founder, Arthur Leach, proved his capacity for invention. In 1895 he made Leach the first company in the world to offer full life size enlargements, printed in one single piece. Over 100 years ago, Leach were already making the most of bold new technologies.
1919 – In the wake of the First World War, the modern advertising industry came to life. Leach were among the first to jump aboard, and in 1919 Leach Photowork was established. Leach Photowork is the forerunner for what Leach is today, and laid the groundworks for a century of product innovation in the graphic display business.
1952 – Leach was actually responsible for retouching and printing the very first official portrait images of Queen Elizabeth II. By 1952 our reputation had grown and we were trusted with producing the images to be used on the first line of stamps to feature the Queen's head.
1960 – In 1960, Leach's reputation opened a huge opportunity to produce some of the most iconic images of the world's most iconic band – the Beatles. Leach produced the very first run of publicity images for the Beatles – a line of business that continued to grow in the years following.
1974 – Leach entered the Guinness World Book of Records in 1974 when we produced the world's largest jigsaw! There's always time for fun and games, and we love to produce displays and graphics that delight and amuse.
1991 – Leach became one of the first businesses in the industry to go digital when we embraced the new technology in 1991. We first purchased a room sized Dianippon scanner, followed by two Durst lambdas. We've always looked for new trends and exciting ways of developing our business for the future, so early adoption of digital imaging was an absolute must.
2008 – Leach has continued to innovate over the years, and in 2008 we were awarded the Queen's Award for Innovation. Receiving this award was a huge honour, recognising over a century of pioneering, ground-breaking work within the graphic production display. Of particular note was Stik, our innovative wallcovering solution that continues to receive recognition and find popular use across a number of different sectors.
'We've continued to come up with new and unexpected graphic displays that get the industry talking. I love being able to think creatively and invent solutions that offer stronger commercial benefits for our clients' design problems. The landscape is constantly changing, but thanks to close continued dialogue with our customers, I think we're one step ahead.'
Mike Willshaw, Head of Innovation at Leach
Case Study: Sports Direct HQ
Here at Leach we had an amazing opportunity to show our innovative spirit again recently. Leach used cutting edge technology to help manufacture a huge 40m illuminated display at Sports Direct's headquarters in Nottinghamshire. This incredible display features ultra bright lighting and striking visuals that are sure to capture the attention and imagination of anyone who sees it – an excellent case study for Leach's continued innovation in the industry.
Working alongside shopfitting specialist Replan, Leach helped bring this industry-first installation to life. We transformed an otherwise non captivating part of the building into a chance to make a statement to all the headquarter's visitors. The industry has never seen a graphic display quite like this ambitious and innovate installation.
'I don't like to be bound by the restrictions of how something has been done previously – I love cultivating an idea and letting it flourish to its full potential.'
Martin Burton, Product Development Designer at Leach
The display features a cascading waterfall and gorgeous sky, bringing a touch of nature's beauty to Sports Direct's interior visitor space. The display was only possible due to Leach's ingenuity – Leach combined a 4m x 11m curved lightbox suspended above the space with 30 different 1m² lightboxes descending in a staggered cascade to display the enormous digital water feature.
Manufactured using Leach's cutting edge new Lightwave technology, the result is a graphic display that resembles a giant wall video. However, Leach also found a way to use dynamic LED integrated into the lightbox technology to deliver a captivating sense of motion. For only 20% of the cost of a video wall alternative, Leach was able to produce an enormous flowing water spectacle.
"We've combined dynamic, ultra-bright, programmable LEDs with HD quality graphics. This digital hybrid is one of the most exciting uses of lightboxes that we're seeing in the retail space at present, without any need for a single screen."
Daniel Deakin, Sales Account Manager at Leach
Despite the scope and magnitude of the project, Leach maintain excellent flexibility in all our installations. Despite the size, the display is designed so that the fabric graphics are interchangeable and can be refitted to create an entirely new display, yet again changing the atmosphere of the interior space. We recognise that brands need to stay on their toes, so we create flexible designs that can suit any client's evolving business. The magnetised LEDs that create the flowing water effect can even be moved to produce entirely new movement effects.
As the case study shows, Leach were able to deliver an entirely new and innovative kind of display for Sports Direct. Leach's brand new Lightwave product was crucial to the installation. This cutting edge technology is gaining popularity across a wide variety of sectors including sports, exhibitions, retail, and museums and heritage. Leach continues to innovate new products that influence and change the industry around them.

Francis Owusu has had a television crew following him the past few days and he acknowledged enjoying the attention. His older brother, former Stanford star Chris Owusu, now playing with the New York Jets in the NFL, fielded more questions about Francis' catch than anything else.
"I'm still in a state of disbelief," Cardinal coach David Shaw said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. "I don't know how he did it. He picked the perfect time to clasp his hands on the football. Wow."
As soon as Saturday's 56-35 victory over UCLA was over, players were scrambling to catch highlights. Everyone except Owusu, who had a paper to write.
"I was up until 4 or 5 in the morning to finish the paper for one of my communication classes," he said. "I was pretty fired up writing it."
Owusu's catch, pinning the football against the defender's back and holding on without any clear view of the pass has been dissected from every angle and every speed and has achieved legendary status, thanks to the miracle of television, in just a few short days.
"It's surreal just to see it on ESPN," Owusu said. "I'm enjoying the moment and hope to continue to make plays. When I got bumrushed by my teammates, that's when it was a touchdown."
Cardinal cornerback Ronnie Harris said players wanted to watch the play just to see how he caught it.
"He's worked so hard and he got himself in position to make a big-time catch," Harris said.
Two years ago, also against UCLA, Kodi Whitfield, in his days as a wide receiver, produced a highlight reel touchdown catch, grabbing a ball out of the air with one hand and retaining possession.
"We joke about who had the better catch," Owusu said. "Of course, I think mine was better."
Ben is back
Washington freshman linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven, who helped Sacred Heart Prep win the Central Coast Section Open Division title a year ago, also had Stanford on his short list of potential schools and Shaw liked what he saw on film.
"I loved watching him play," Shaw said. "He went sideline to sideline and found a way to get to the ball carrier. He's a very good football player who plays hard on every single play. He reminds me of (Palo Alto grad) Kevin Anderson. I saw Kevin line up on one side of the field and make a play on the other side."
Unfortunately, Stanford could not offer Burr-Kirven, who has appeared in all six of the Huskies games thus far and has 11 tackles, including a sack. Former Gator Derek Hunter, who transferred to Washington from Georgetown, is also on the roster . He's listed as a redshirt sophomore tight end.
"It's always a numbers crunch," Shaw said. "T.J. Tarpley was the only inside linebacker we lost last year and we had four safeties."
Loving the lights
Shaw and Harris have different views of playing late games on Saturday (and one Thursday). Shaw is fine with a few, though with the exception of its season opener against Northwestern, the Cardinal has played seven straight at night.
"There are are a few positives in terms of preparation," Shaw said. "We don't have to rush first thing in the morning. We can do a walk through. We recruit nationally, so its tough on the eat coast kids, and alumni as well. Players have a hard time trying to get home by 2 a.m., wasting half of their Sundays as they walk around like zombies."
Harris prefers the all-night schedule.
"There's a comfort level getting used to playing at night," he said. "It gets us into a rhythm."

Workplace Heterogeneity and the Rise of West German Wage Inequality
David Card, Jörg Heining, Patrick Kline
NBER Working Paper No. 18522
We study the role of establishment-specific wage premiums in generating recent increases in West German wage inequality. Models with additive fixed effects for workers and establishments are fit in four distinct time intervals spanning the period 1985-2009. Unlike standard wage models, specifications with both worker and plant-level heterogeneity components can explain the vast majority of the rise in wage inequality. Our estimates suggest that the increasing variability of West German wages results from a combination of rising heterogeneity between workers, rising variability in the wage premiums at different establishments, and increasing assortativeness in the matching of workers to plants. We use the models to decompose changes in wage gaps between different education levels, occupations, and industries, and in all three cases find a growing contribution of plant heterogeneity and rising assortativeness between workers and establishments.

I haven't written about the Make America Great Again hat-wearing kids other than to post information on my Facebook page about the Native American man as a veteran.
The video of a confrontation in front of the Lincoln Memorial hit social media over the weekend and prompted emotional arguments and quick-takes by some commentators that were soon retracted as more video came to light.
I don't know what happened. To be really honest, I don't care. I think these viral things are terribly distracting. We waste tons of time and energy watching and rewatching the videos of things that are, frankly, not even that important.
And then we wind up even angrier and more isolated.
Take just a moment. Think about something that is important and do that today.
It might be:
1. Support an agency representing separated kids and asylum-seekers, like Human Rights Initiative, just like we were doing last week. If not us, RAICES, Workers Defense and Mosaic Family Services are all fighting the good fight.
2. Find the nearest public school, ask them what they need -- and then do it.
3. Think of your friends who might be park rangers or in the Coast Guard and send them a meal or gift certificate.
4. Check out volunteer opportunities at local nature centers.
5. Go through closets tonight and donate all that stuff you are never going to wear again to St. Vincent de Paul.
6. If you are a man, find a woman you love and tell her you respect her. Not that she is pretty, but that she is powerful.
7. Write your congressional representative and senator and tell them: Open the government, quit oppressing trans people, and don't build a wall. Do a Google search for the demands of the Dallas Black Clergy, promoted by the Rev. Michael Waters and the Rev. Edwin Robinson, and get educated.
That's just off the top of my head.
Bill Holston is executive director of the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas. He wrote this column as a Facebook post and gave The Dallas Morning News permission to publish it.

A Quilter's Tour of Kentucky: The Filson Historical Society
I've always wanted to go on a quilter's tour. I briefly though about going on a tour of England that was offered through a local fabric shop, but when I saw the price, I quit thinking about it. With price being a limiting factor, I started to think about other possibilities. Then it hit me: why not do my own quilter's tour of Kentucky?
I knew that The Filson had several quilts in our collection and I've featured some on our blog, but if I'm going to do a tour, I'd love to know what else is out there around the state. I struck gold in our library collection with Quilt Collections: A directory for the United States and Canada. This book, compiled by Lisa Turner Oshins and featuring state commentaries by Barbara S. Bockman, was published in 1987. While the information is a bit out of date (in fact, the phone number for The Filson is not the one we use now), it gave me a jumping-off point to begin my search. Kentucky has quite a few collections listed in the book, and a little bit of internet sleuthing has told me where they are now located and what the visiting hours are for the various institutions. Sadly, the book has not been updated since it was first published, but I highly recommend it if you are interested in viewing any of these collections. Armed with my new-found knowledge, I decided to start right where I was at: The Filson's Special Collections.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of our records in Past Perfect that did not have images had been updated. I was browsing our quilt collection and came across two quilt blocks that were absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we don't know much about them other than that they are made of silk and were donated to The Filson in the 1950's.
From looking at the pictures, these blocks appear to be paper pieced. English Paper Piecing is a technique that involves quilt blocks being formed from fabric that is wrapped around pieces of paper. The most common shape for these blocks is a hexagon, which is what is shown in the images above. Other popular shapes include diamonds, octagons, triangles, and tumblers.
Seven hexagon shapes form a pattern called the Grandmother's Flower Garden block. This appears to be the type of block that these squares represent. Because I couldn't look at the actual quilt squares in our collection, I decided to stitch up a few of my own to show you what the back side might look like.
This technique is much simpler than it appears. There are a lot of great tutorials out there that teach you about constructing your hexagons (or "hexies," as I like to call them). I used this tutorial to construct mine, and I found it to be very easy and relaxing.
I had a great time learning a new technique in my quilting and learning a little bit more about a quilt that we have in our collection. I hope to use my new-found knowledge on my next stop in my self-appointed Quilter's Tour of Kentucky.

Officials gathered on Wednesday to recognize Fort Riley's first milestone of its solar program.
Under the program about 1,260 homes at Fort Riley will receive solar panels this year, at no cost to the military.
In the Warner-Peterson neighborhood, 177 homes have been outfitted with solar panels as the first phase of the program. The solar work on Fort Riley provides energy-efficient homes in support of the Department of Defense Privatized Housing Solar Challenge initiative. The goal is for rate stabilization and increased energy security to the community, while eliminating approximately 32,000 tons of carbon emissions each year.
"This milestone marks a significant step in achievement of Fort Riley's energy conservation goals," said Col. John D. Lawrence, Fort Riley garrison commander. "Through this large-scale generation of solar energy, the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley are demonstrating the commitment to energy security and sustainability. Army readiness is the true reason for this effort."
Construction on the project began in February 2018 with Onyx Construction projected to install solar power on approximately 1,260 homes throughout the communities on post. Thirty-seven percent of annual electricity consumption is projected to be offset and 14,000 megawatt hours g
enerated in the first year alone. This is equivalent to taking 2,736 cars off the road or planting 14,510 acres of forest. This is the largest solar program installed to date in the state of Kansas.
"This solar initiative is an extension of our commitment to creating and implementing complex energy solutions for our partners in helping them achieve their goals," Champagne said. "It's core to who we are and the value we hold in improving the communities in which we serve."
Corvias' portfolio-based solar program across partner military installations will play a large part in meeting
the DoD's goals to:
- Reduce emissions by 26 percent by 2025;
- Increase the use of renewable energy to the level of 20 percent by 2030;
- Install 300 megawatts of renewable energy across federally subsidized housing by 2020; and
- Double energy productivity by 2030.
Key to this initiative is the Solar Ready Vets program, which was started by the Department of Energy to provide active-duty service members who are near the end of their enlistment with an opportunity to train for careers in the solar industry. Power Factor, a subcontractor working on the Fort Riley solar project, has actively hired veterans through USO Pathfinder and similar programs; there are currently 13 military veterans working on-site, some of whom were stationed at Fort Riley.
In addition to this solar project, Corvias continues to improve the overall housing footprint at Fort Riley through demolition and construction activity. In 2017, 253 units in the Warner-Peterson neighborhood were demolished or donated, through Operation Walking Shield, to residents of the Kickapoo Nation. An additional 335 units in the Colyer Manor neighborhood were placed offline for demolition and are currently.

Incredible time-lapse footage shows a Virgin Atlantic A330-200 undergoing a transformation
Incredible time-lapse footage has shown a Virgin Atlantic A330-200 being given an eye-catching makeover both on the inside and out.
Four of the Airbus aircraft were introduced to Virgin Atlantic's fleet in March after the airline acquired them from the now defunct Air Berlin.
And one of the planes has now been given a brand new look with all three cabins – upper class, premium economy and economy – being refreshed.
The time-lapse footage released by Virgin Atlantic shows one of their A330-200 aircraft getting a brand new interior in China
Four of the Airbus aircraft were introduced to Virgin Atlantic's fleet in March after the airline acquired them from the now defunct Air Berlin. Pictured are workers fitting economy seats
Three brand new cabins – economy, premium and upper, Virgin's version of business class – were all upgraded. Pictured is the stripped down upper class cabin
In this cabin, upper class the seats had to be fitted and arranged carefully into four different suites – the love suite, corner suite and freedom suite
As well as the interiors being transformed, the aircraft was also given a brand new paint job at a hangar in Manchester
The footage shows the aircraft, called Daydream Believer, receiving a brand new paint job with the wings and tail being painted in the signature Virgin red in a hangar in Manchester.
The empty shell of the plane was then flown to China, where the video shows workers bringing in the seats and other cabin furniture for fitting.
The clip ends with a sweeping shot through all three cabins showing off the finished interior.
Virgin Atlantic also released pictures of workers at Stelia Aerospace in France painstakingly designing and creating the seats before they were fitted.
The A330-200 aircraft were brought into Virgin Atlantic's fleet to replace several of its Dreamliner aircraft, which have had issues with their Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. There is currently a global shortage of these power units.
The video also shows what the cabins looked like on board the aircraft when finished. Pictured is the upper class cabin
An infographic showing the layout of the upper class cabin on board Virgin's A330-200 fleet, which joined the airline earlier this year
However, the issue Virgin Atlantic faced with its newly acquired planes earlier this year was that they were obviously decked out with Air Berlin cabin designs and not Virgin Atlantic's signature style.
This meant the aircraft need to be retrofitted with new Virgin Atlantic interiors that are unique to these four planes.
The most striking differences is in business class, which Virgin Atlantic calls 'upper class'.
Exclusive to the A330-200s, all upper class suites will feature direct aisle access and enhanced surface area for additional personal space.
And the seat fabric will be entirely upholstered with natural and soft Espresso leather, which Virgin Atlantic says underlines its flair.
In the premium cabin, there are 35 seats offering Virgin Atlantic's standard 38-inch seat pitch. Passengers in this cabin will receive a bespoke food and drink menu
In the economy cabin, changes include seats featuring classic red and beige tones and brand new leather headrests
Meanwhile, there are several unique aspects to the A330-200 upper class cabin that remain in the new design.
These include the seats that convert to a bed at the touch of a button – in other Virgin Atlantic cabins you need to flip the seat manually – and the three 'suites'.
The love suite, which is designed with couples and small groups of travellers in mind. It's in the middle of the cabin and according to the carrier is ideal for dining, watching movies or catching up on work in-flight with a travel companion.
The solo corner suite promises 'a little privacy with a great view' for passengers travelling alone.
While the freedom solo suite is billed as the ideal accommodation for a single traveller who wishes to 'unwind and stretch out' while having easy aisle access.
The economy cabin changes include seats featuring classic red and beige tones and brand new leather headrests.
New pictures have also shown workers at Stelia Aerospace in France, designing the bespoke seats for the upper class cabin
The seats in the upper class cabib convert to a bed at the touch of a button – in other Virgin Atlantic cabins you need to flip the seat manually. Pictured is one of the seats being made
While in the premium cabin, there will be 35 seats offering Virgin Atlantic's standard 38-inch seat pitch and a bespoke food and drink menu.
Each cabin will also be decked out with black cherry curtains and carpets, along with refreshed bathrooms and 'stylish mood lighting and wall finishes'.
Standard for Virgin Atlantic, all flights will offer high speed WiFi, power in every seat and the latest onboard entertainment.
Daniel Kerzner, vice president of customer experience at Virgin Atlantic, said: 'I'm thrilled to see the first of our fully refurbished A330-200s arrive into our fleet and looking amazing.
'Initial response from our customers and our people has been fantastic. These planes were introduced to protect our flying programme with a commitment to bring them up to our high standards with our unique Virgin Atlantic flair.
One of the four A330-200 aircraft Virgin has acquired from the now defunct Air Berlin. They fly out of Manchester and London Gatwick to destinations including the US and Caribbean
'The speed at which we've been able to totally transform these aircraft is phenomenal, and is a true testament to our people and our passion to deliver a wow experience to our customers.'
Virgin Atlantic told MailOnline Travel earlier this year that this cabin upgrade might be used on other aircraft in the future depending on customer feedback.
The other three aircraft have already been christened Strawberry Fields, Honky Tonk Woman and Scarlett O'Hara.
The remaining three A330-200 refits are all expected to be completed by January 2019 and the aircraft will operate on Caribbean services from Gatwick Airport, along with a number of US flights from Manchester.

The government-backed broadcaster has confirmed that data from an unsecured repository was exposed.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has accidentally leaked sensitive data from at least two unsecured Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 repositories, according to Kromtech Security Center.
The government-backed broadcaster has confirmed in a statement that it was notified of the data leak on November 16, and said its technology teams acted promptly to solve the issue.
Kromtech CIO Bob Diachenko wrote in a blog post that the security firm discovered a "trove of data" connected to ABC Commercial — the broadcaster's commercial arm that looks after the marketing and retailing of ABC products and services worldwide — after conducting an online search of poorly set up cloud computing sites.
Exposed data included information regarding "production services and stock files that should not have been publicly available online," according to Diachenko.
The exposed files contained thousands of emails, logins, and passwords for ABC Commercial users to access content; requests for licensed content from media producers worldwide; secret access key and login details for other repositories, with advanced video content; and 1,800 daily MySQL backups "from 2015 to present".
The unsecured repositories were detected in that state just a week after AWS introduced new S3 encryption and security features for users, Diachenko noted.
"Security can not be ignored anymore and and it is not just an organization's reputation but the real data of customers, partners, or vital business information that is at stake with each new data breach," Diachenko wrote.
This is not the first time the ABC has accidentally exposed sensitive data. Back in 2010, it sent an email to players of its augmented reality game Bluebird, saying that their names, email addresses, and passwords were available for download via an archive for almost a month.
In 2013, ABC's website was also hacked deliberately by an individual that went by the handle 'Phr0zenMyst", which lead to the details of 50,000 users being exposed online, such as usernames, email addresses, and password hashes.
ZDNet has reached out to the ABC to learn whether users whose information was exposed were notified of the leak, and the steps the broadcaster has taken since learning of the unsecured repositories.

My favorite part about this look is that it oozes equal parts unadulterated badassery and soft, feminine vibes. Black, velvet, and floral are always a great combination and this thrifted skirt has been a staple in my wardrobe for quite some time. (Most notably seen here, over four years ago. As you can see, I've definitely gotten my $7 worth.)
Because I didn't want to add a necklace to distract from the beautiful neckline and I'm not much of a bracelet gal-- but had to add something, I finished the look off with a great little statement belt. Voilà. Ready to hop on a motorcycle. If doing so side-saddle was possible and also if I wasn't terrified of motorcycles.

Obafemi Awolowo: Check out His Achievements 30 years After.
On Tuesday, May 9th 2017, was the 30th death anniversary of Nigerian national and stateman, Chief Obafemi Awolowo who played a key role in the independence movement of this great nation.
Apart from his face being on 100 Naira notes, some other achievements of the late hero who hailed from Ikenne, Ogun State are listed below;
1.) He named Nigeria's national currency as 'Naira' when he was the Federal Commissioner for Finance. The late sage coined the name from Nigeria.
2.) The late sage introduced free primary education for all and free health care for children in the Western Region.
3. )He established the first television station in Africa in 1959. The first TV station in Africa is called
4. )He also erected the first skyscraper in tropical Africa:the Cocoa House (still the tallest in Ibadan).
The building formerly called "Ile Awon Agbe" (i.e. "House of Farmers") is now popularly known as Cocoa House. It was the tallest building in Africa in the 1960s. The regional administration of Awolowo was proud to tell the world, in the era before the Oil Boom, that Cocoa House was built entirely from proceeds of international trade in agricultural commodities such as cocoa, rubber and timber.
5. He is the first and only non-president to be so honoured in recognition of his sterling qualities and contributions to the service of the country.
6.) The sage was the first individual in the modern era to be named Leader of the Yorubas (Yoruba: Asiwaju Omo Oodua), a title which has come over time to be conventionally ascribed to his successors as the recognized political leader of the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria.
7.) He was believed by admirers to be the best President in Nigeria and thus was the first Leader of Government Business and Minister of Local Government and Finance and first Premier of the Western Region under Nigeria's parliamentary system, from 1952 to 1959.
8.) In the year, 1949 he founded the Nigerian Tribune which is the oldest surviving private Nigerian newspaper. The newspaper served as a means which he used to spread nationalist consciousness among fellow Nigerians.
9.) He founded the Action Group political party which was the first political party to move the motion for Nigeria's independence in the federal parliament. Obafemi Awolowo obtained internal self-government for the Western Region in 1957.
10.) On May 12, 1987, the University of Ife was renamed Obafemi Awolowo University in honour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo first premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, whose brainchild the university was.

- Garlic
I had a very bad earache. I put clove of garlic in to my ear. Couldn't believe how fast the pain was gone. Also used it on my tooth and my gum. Fascinating what God had created for pain and killing any bacteria.
- Garlic
I have had an acute ear infection since Tuesday. I've been taking antibiotic drops three times a day, and prescription-strength ibuprofen as needed for the pain. Unfortunately, "as needed" was turning out to be a lot more than I'd expected. It didn't seem like the antibiotics were working. I realized that I was taking my prescriptions like a good girl, but I wasn't doing anything to enable my own body to fight the infection naturally.
Starting last night (Thursday night) I began taking a TON of Vitamin C. Then I came to this site and read about garlic, and this morning I bought some 2, 000 mg garlic tablets. I took two right away, and some more Vitamin C. Within an hour I felt my inner ear begin to drain into my throat, which I took as a good sign. I am continuing my antibiotic drops, but they hurt so bad when I put them in that I have to blow-dry my ear afterwards (which REALLY helps).
Long story short, I've only had to take a minimum dosage of over-the-counter pain medicine (ibuprofen) today, because I can absolutely feel the infection clearing up. It's still a bit painful, and every once in a while it will throb for a few minutes, but I can generally deal with it and it's not the nail-biting, leg-cramping, stomach-twisting agony I've been experiencing for the last two days.
I definitely recommend it! It can't hurt, after all. And of course I'm not discontinuing the medicine I was given by my doctor.1
- Garlic
I never tried garlic juice and it does sound like it would be painful but I've always used garlic successfully to cure an ear infection. Just score a garlic clove, wrap in gauze so there is no too direct contact and place in ear, preferably over night. Usually does the trick.
I've also used olive oil to soothe ear pain. Heat the oil a bit and dip cotton and make into a little ball to pout in the ear. The warmth and something in the oil immediately eases the ear pain and often is enough to cure the problem.

While Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One have been grabbing all of the video-game headlines lately, Nintendo has been quietly minding its own business. That may have changed Friday, when the Big N released three games in its huge "Mario" and "Zelda" franchises for its newest systems.
"Super Mario 3D World" ($60) could be just what the flagging Wii U console needs for a holiday boost. The latest game in the long-running "Super Mario Bros." series allows as many as four people to play at the same time.
For its handheld 3DS system, Nintendo has "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds" ($40). The new adventure, a follow-up to 1992's "A Link to the Past" for the old Super NES console, finds hero Link discovering a mysterious power that lets him travel between two worlds.
Also out Friday is "Mario Party: Island Tour" ($40), the first 3DS game in the fun multiplayer series. The game uses the handheld's built-in microphone and AR Card accessories to enhance the virtual board-game experience. As many as four people can play together on separate 3DS and 2DS systems using only one copy of the game.
Sure, the timing could have been better for this power trio -- hitting stores on the release day of the Xbox One? -- but any news is good news for Nintendo fans.

Perhaps you know Bridget Riley's work well, or perhaps like myself, you are new to the 'Op' artist, whom I discovered only myself last week when I stumbled across her newest exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
So who is she, and why should we care? Whilst the Scottish National Galleries' exhibition, Facing the World, which includes the likes of self-portraits by big names such as Rembrandt and Ai Weiwei, is sure to be a crowd pleaser, why should one venture off Princes Street to visit Riley's exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art? From a purely aesthetic point of view, the answer is that rarely so is the eye treated to such a feast of colour, pattern and fun as Riley's bold paintings allow. However, as one would expect in any artist exhibiting in the renowned modern art gallery, Riley's work does of course carry major historical significance.
The contemporary English artist is one of the foremost exponents of Op art, her daring and eye catching work gained her international attention in the 1960's when the movement came to fruition. Op art uses purely geometric form to create its effects, drawing on colour theory and the physiology and psychology of perception, often creating the illusion of movement. With the rise of Op art, Riley became one of Britain's most important abstract artists, creating complex visual sensations and exploring fundamental ideas of perception. The artist had originally been influenced by the curving forms seen in the Italian Futurist, Umberto Boccioni's works. Riley concentrated purely on shape and pattern in her early monochromatic works before experimenting with jarring, eye-popping colour in her clean-edged designs.
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art's display, focuses on major paintings from throughout her 50 career (1963-2015). The exhibition charts her fascinating dialogue with colour, from her early monochrome works, her move to grey, then to colour, and then her recent move back to monochrome, now influenced by her preceding paintings with colour. The exhibition offers us a rare opportunity to see much of Riley's work now in private hands, as well as put context to Riley's painting Over (1966), which has been held at the gallery since 1979.
Exhibition: Bridget Riley – Painting, 1963-2015, is taking place from 15 April 2016 to 16 April 2017 at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern One). Admission is free.

The idea to remodel your bathroom can come as an idea to augment your house value or simply to make it into the haven you have always wanted. The general contractor assists homebuilders with financing requirements, submitting papers asked for by loan officers. It is imperative that in each house rebuilding venture, there ought to be a counsel between the property holder, the house renovating contractual worker and his employment site manager, the planner or fashioner, some other development individuals will's identity working with your house redesigning venture. When you are hiring the services of a professional remodeling company, you need to first ascertain the kind of services that are being offered by them. Now that you have successfully decided on your new bathroom design, the challenging decisions arise.
Modern vanity designs have transformed a practical element of the bathroom into a true way to give your bathroom an elegant and pleasurable look. Remodeling your kitchen can be a very large job, and there are many important aspects to take into consideration when remodeling. Ask if the bath remodel contractor will be able to handle all of the work you require themselves, or if they will have to sub some of the work out to other companies (such as a plumber). Limit the number of accessories – clutter can easily make a small bathroom look smaller. Refurbishing your entire house will mean dealing with a large home remodeling cost.
The most essential rule to bear in mind, though, is that you don't want to get too financially caught up with the remodeling project of your bathroom if you are going to turn around and sell your home. Before remodeling for the purpose of increasing the marketability of your home, consult with two or three realtors that do business in your neighborhood.
Bathroom remodeling makes property attractive to homeowners, hotels or motels, apartments or any other person that has bathrooms that need to be updated. The materials to be used The choice of materials for your bathroom remodeling project will be driven by your budget and the remodeled look you want your bathroom to have. The company has a diverse range of these decorative blocks that could be used in block wall remodeling Las Vegas service. Actually, the design of your new bathroom is where you should start your planning followed by selecting a new bathroom sink, faucet, and vanity. Generally other terms and conditions throughout the contract protect you and the contractor.
Fortunately after firing the framing crew we discovered that we had a man who was currently attending our church who had his own remodeling business in the midwest. An isolated kitchen does not accommodate sharing time with family and therefore these homes are desperate for renovating. This bathroom is an excellent example that when a space with knee walls and low roof / ceiling challenges does have the ability to be transformed into an very useful and functional space.

What would it take to pry Brandon Carlo from the Bruins in a trade?
— Fred P (@Meerschaum529) May 12, 2019
This is a great question because I think it actually has a decent chance of happening. The Bruins need cap space to sign Charlie McAvoy, who is due for a huge raise, and only have a few players on expiring contracts, the most significant of which is Marcus Johansson, who's deal pays him an AAV of 2.75 million. Unless they move someone, they're unlikely to be able to re-sign both Carlo and McAvoy.
The obvious fit here would be a one-for-one deal involving Carlo and Jake Virtanen. Carlo's due for a raise of his own that's likely to exceed the 1.25 million dollars Virtanen will make next season. The question is whether or not either team really has the appetite for that. What the Bruins really need is cap space, and I think it's more likely they would dangle a prospect to a cap floor team in exchange for taking back David Backes' contract. I'm also not convinced Carlo is the answer on Vancouver's blueline, and I think the Canucks would be interested in someone with more upside if they're going to give up Virtanen, who many still believe has the tools to be an effective power forward in the NHL.
I seem to recall a lot of Pearson's goals coming with him skating down the right wing. Could a line of Baertschi Horvat and Pearson work or does he have to play left wing?
— thirdlinewinger (@thirdlinewinger) May 12, 2019
Overall, I think chemistry is more important than handedness when it comes to lineup decisions, especially at forward. Perhaps the best example of this is Alex Burrows, a natural left winger who shot left, but saw his greatest success as Alain Vigneault's go-to right winger on the Sedin line. There are advantages and disadvantages to playing a forward on his off-side, but ultimately if it works, they should do it. On paper, a top six of Baertschi-Horvat-Pearson on one line and Boeser and Pettersson with a third forward sounds preferable to most of their other options as the team is currently constructed.
if the canucks were avengers who would they be?
— ryan (@verviticus) May 12, 2019
I hate this question but I'll still answer it to the best of my ability.
Captain America: Bo Horvat
Iron Man: Elias Pettersson
Thor: Brock Boeser
Hulk: Jake Virtanen
Hawkeye: Alex Edler
Black Widow: I don't know… Jacob Markstrom? I hate this question.
if the canucks were the original rat pack who would they be
— ryan (@verviticus) May 12, 2019
This one is easy.
Frank Sinatra: Bo Horvat
Dean Martin: Brock Boeser
Sammy Davis Jr.: Elias Pettersson
Peter Lawford: Jake Virtanen
Joey Bishop: Alex Edler
If the Canucks draft a forward at #10, the obvious weakness in their prospect pool are right handed Defensemen. Which RHD do you think might be available at pick 40 that would be worth picking?
— Bert Diesel (@DieselBert) May 12, 2019
I always hesitate to answer these questions because it's impossible to know who will slip. I never would have guessed Timothy Liljegren would have been available for the Leafs to snag in 2017, for example.
With that in mind, I'm getting some serious Oliver Kylington vibes from Anttoni Honka this year. The data loves him, but scouts aren't entirely sold and his value appears to be declining as we reach the end of the 2018-19 playoffs. If he's somehow still there at 40, he's their man.
What do you think the fantasy value of Tyler Madden will be? Can you compare him to a current nhl player
— kelly parker (@kelly_kjp) May 12, 2019
I still think Madden's ceiling is that of a very good third-line winger, who can perhaps play spot duty in the top six when called upon. I don't really like making player comparables, but Joonas Donskoi is similar in style and role to the player I think Madden could be.
do you think joulevi plays in the NHL next season?
— jackson (@JacksonCanucks) May 12, 2019
If he stays healthy and has a productive season in Utica, he'll get an audition at the end of the season. The Canucks appear set on bringing back both of Chris Tanev and Alex Edler, so you know the team's top four is going to be hit by injuries at some point, and realistically, who is going to get the call-up ahead of Juolevi? Ashton Sautner is probably slightly ahead of him on the depth chart at the moment, but if Juolevi can build on his impressive numbers from last year (albeit over a very small sample size), then he won't stay out of the conversation for long.
If NJD wanted to unite the Hughes brothers, what would our price be for Quinn? Don't dodge and say we wouldn't trade him, hypo assumes we would for a certain price.
— Jeff Zack (@jeffreyzack) May 12, 2019
The offer has to start with Ty Smith and another good, young roster player. You don't have to make this deal, and the Devils have the incentive to overpay to reunite the Hughes brothers, so you should reach for the sky with your starting ask. That would mean asking for someone like Nico Hischier, which would obviously be met with a scoff by Ray Shero. Eventually, you'd probably get talked down to someone like Jesper Bratt or Miles Wood and at that point you have to wonder if the Canucks would have interest. Quinn Hughes is a special prospect, but how much can you really ask for in return for a player who has played less than 10 games of pro? Obviously, it's not happening, but Ty Smith and a good roster player would definitely give Jim Benning something to think about.
If you had to choose what was your favourite patcast or provie? Mine was the story with tryamkin driving a convertible around town smelling cannabis.
— mike higashi (@hirokidude) May 12, 2019
To be honest, when I think of Jason Botchford, I usually think of the personal interactions I was fortunate enough to be able to have with him over the past two years; but I'll be reflecting on that in due time. As far as the moments everyone else was privy to, there were a few moments that stick in my mind. As a reader, long before I had ever spoken to either of them, I remember being very amused by his feuding with former CanucksArmy Managing Editor Thomas Drance over Jannik Hansen, especially because it's one of the few times Botch ever had to admit defeat. He did so graciously, for the most part, but not without his trademark sense of humour. I also loved it whenever he'd rib Jeff Paterson over his tweets and goal predictions. More recently, there was the Tyson Chicken controversy, which was the type of meltdown that would have previously gone mostly unnoticed before Botch came along and shined a flashlight on all the weirdest corners of online Canucks fandom.
As far as his writing is concerned, I think his final two editions of the Provies, on the Sedins' final home and road games, are some of the finest pieces of sports writing this city has ever seen. When I initially got the news of Jason's passing, I immediately thought of this passage, from his final Provies:

We are excited to announce the acquisition of Vision Engineering & Planning, a transportation planning and engineering DBE firm with offices in Columbia, MD and Atlanta, GA.

By: Jim Meads, P.E.
Alabama drivers saw a 6-cent state gas tax increase this past weekend starting September 1st. This was the first increment of the 10-cent tax approved this year by the legislature and Governor Kay Ivey. Alabama's Fuel Tax of 18 cents per gallon on gas and 19 cents on diesel was the fifth lowest in the United States and had not changed since 1992. When fully implemented, the increase will generate about $320 million a year for road and bridge projects throughout Alabama. The first 5 state projects have already been announced:
Passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act came after years of hard work by industry advocates and state law makers. As President of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Alabama this past year, I was able to see how our organization worked closely with the Alliance for Alabama's Infrastructure (AAI) and other industry partners to advocate for increased infrastructure funding in Alabama. Our combined advocacy efforts were instrumental in the passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act. We are indebted to bill sponsors Representative Bill Poole, (R) Tuscaloosa, and Senator Clyde Chambliss, (R) Prattville, as well as Governor Ivey for their leadership in getting the bill passed.
Photo: Jim Meads presenting ACEC's Senator of the Year Award to Senator Clyde Chambliss for his role in passing the Rebuild Alabama Act.
In 2016, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released a report card on Alabama's infrastructure system in which Alabama's roads received a D+. On a local note, the research publication "TRIP, Alabama's Transportation by the Numbers: Meeting the States' Need for Safe, Smooth and Efficient Mobility" rated the condition of roads in the Birmingham urban area at approximately 50% in the Poor and Mediocre categories.
The Rebuild Alabama Act will invest more than 3 billion dollars in roads and bridges across the state of Alabama over the next 10 years. Here's an overview of the Rebuild Alabama Act:
Fuel Tax Increase and Distribution
The state gasoline and diesel tax will be increased incrementally over the next three years:
The revenues raised through these increases in the gas and diesel tax will be distributed as follows:
Additionally, $11.76 million shall be annually distributed by the Alabama Highway Finance Corporation to finance the deepening and widening of the Port of Mobile. This diversion is not perpetual and will end once bonds are paid off.
Fuel Tax Indexing
Beginning on October 1, 2023, and on July 1 of every other year following, the fuel tax will be indexed to the National Highway Construction Cost Index (NHCCI) issued by the Federal Highway Administration and will be implemented as follows:
Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Fees
Electric vehicles (EVs) will now pay an annual registration fee. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will pay $200, and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) will pay $100.
Local Government Grant and Funding Programs
According to the Business Council of Alabama," the Rebuild Alabama Act is a responsible investment in our state, our business and our people and will yield tangible results in the years to come." We couldn't agree more.

Nick Hornby
Putnam, 2007 (2007)
Hardcover, CD
Reviewed by Kerrily Sapet
ife is coming together for seventeen-year-old Sam Jones. His mother dumped her rubbish boyfriend, Sam's teacher suggested he study art in college, and he learned two neat skateboarding tricks. The icing on top of the cake is Alicia, his would-be model girlfriend. But Sam figures everything is going a little too well, and he's right. Just after he and Alicia call it quits, she drops a bombshell on him.
n Nick Hornby's
, Sam Jones learns he's going to be a teenage father. Alicia's parents can't stand him and Sam's mother is disappointed that he took the same path she did - he was born when she was sixteen. After Sam makes a run for it, attempting to get a new job in a different town, he realizes it's not the answer. Although neither he nor Alicia is ready for a baby, they need to face it - like it or not. When Alicia decides to keep the baby, Sam begins to have dreams that end up predicting his future all too clearly. From the start of the book, Sam's voice somewhat resembles Holden Caulfield in
The Catcher in the Rye
