Meet Vignesh Krish who studied at the Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen.
It was early August when I boarded the airline taking me from Chennai to Copenhagen, Denmark. G etting into the plane, it was scary and getting down from the plane at Copenhagen airport was even more scary. There was the sign of slight frigidity in the air and my trip had not ended at Copenhagen as I had a train ride to get to Grenaa in Jutland. That was my first day in Denmark.
Looking back at the last one year I've spent in Denmark and DTU, it has been a wonderful experience. Right from the first day, it has been an experience that has been unforgettable. It began with great friends and having a good time while studying. It has been truly wonderful. There are so many things that I could talk about in the last one year that have been wonderful:
The first thing is DTU itself. Facilities, parties, canteens, the databars, the entrepreneurship community and pretty much everything about DTU has been a great experience. Looking back, the days spent in sports field, days in the gym and a lot of time spent in DTU Skylab have been great. A normal day starts off with classes and then the canteen to meet friends for a quick lunch and catch up before heading out to do other stuff that really requires attention which ranged from volunteer work for entrepreneurship organziation to group work for one of the courses. The only downside was that you never knew that time flew by at the speed of light whenever you are holed up at DTU. In winters, the buildings provide this solace and silence that you require to get yourself up and the subjects for which the exams crawl closer and closer.
On the otherside of the spectrum is the city of Copenhagen, vibrant and jazzy, it is an amazing place to visit. With each visit to the city, I am falling in love with it. It has an impenetrable charm about it and the things you can do in the city range from the downright mundane to the extreme craziness all depending on what you are willing to do. It is an amazing city to live in, study in and work in.
In the one year I've been here, I've met countless interesting people, taken part in awesome parties, super-cosy evenings with friends and food amongst the other nights spent studying or camping or taking a bike trip. Its pretty much my second home in the one year I've been here. I'm loving it here and hope to stay here after my graduation.

There can be only two possible reasons for Republican lawmakers' steadfast opposition to a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
One: Maybe not a single GOP member of Congress has ever had a problem with his or her bank, credit cards, mortgage or car loan, and thus sees no need for additional oversight of financial institutions.
Or two: Maybe GOP lawmakers are responding to the millions of dollars spent by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the financial services industry to undermine a new government agency intended to rein in abusive lending practices.
Man, there's a coin toss, right?
The Republican-controlled House Financial Services Committee voted to limit the power of the new agency by making it simpler for the bureau's decisions to be reversed by other regulators and by replacing its director with a more easily influenced five-member commission.

While environmental protection is an important concern in the development of our nation's natural resources, excessive regulations have suppressed expansion of our critical minerals industry and sent jobs overseas. In a study of the 25 leading mining countries, the United States has tied with Papua New Guinea for last place in terms of delays involved in obtaining a mining permit:
Permitting delays are the most significant risk to mining projects in the United States. A few mining friendly states (Nevada, Utah, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Arizona) are an exception to this rule but are negatively impacted by federal rules that they are bound to enforce resulting in a 7- to 10-year waiting period before mine development can begin.
This red tape essentially offers energy business on a platter to other countries, namely China. Many of these elements which America is forced to import could be provided through domestic mining if redundant regulations didn't discourage development. The Natural Resources Committee in the house began looking into this issue in 2011 when it referred to a U.S. Geological Survey which reported that:
The U.S. is 100% dependent on foreign sources for rare earth elements (REE), 97% of which are provided by China... the USGS released a report revealing 13 million metric tons of REEs exist within known deposits in 14 U.S. states.
In February 2013, Congressman Mark Amodei (R-NV), along with 57 cosponsors, proposed H.R. 761, the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act of 2013, in order to address this issue.
Although many of these minerals are necessary for the president's green energy goals, Obama still refuses to allow efficient development of domestic minerals and asks legislators to strongly oppose H.R. 761 in the name of environmental protection.
A similar scenario is playing out on the Outer Continental Shelf and across many federal lands where onerous regulations and permitting processes keep our natural resources tied up in red tape. Whether those resources are essential minerals or equally essential energy, the solution is still the same, as NTU's Executive Vice President Pete Sepp explained:
Instead of picking winners and losers in the industry, we believe officials should pursue a policy that applies low, simple taxes … avoids government subsidies, and eases regulations that stand in the way of developing new resources.
With employment numbers still stubbornly low, Washington should be easing the path for economic development and job growth, not throwing up roadblocks for job creators. Let's hope the House moves H.R. 761 forward quickly to help get vital investments out of permitting purgatory.

President Barroso and Commissioner Füle on official visit to Moldova
President Barroso and Commissioner Füle have arrived in Moldova yesterday evening (11 June) and participated in an official dinner with Prime Minister Iurie Leancă, Deputy Prime Minister Natalia Gherman and members of the Moldovan government. Today, President Barroso and Commissioner Füle are seeing Prime Minister Leancă as well as the President of Moldova Nicolae Timofti and the Speaker of the Parliament Igor Corman for bilateral meetings. President Barroso also opened the Moldova-EU International Investors' Conference , where he said: "In two years we have brought our relations into a new higher level. (…) We have done it in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect, cooperation because this is the way the European Union works with its neighbours and partners and respect because you are a sovereign and independent nation."
This visit takes place just weeks ahead of the signature of the Association Agreement including provisions establishing the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with Moldova on 26/27 June.
President Barroso will continue his visit to the region to Georgia and Azerbaijan later today.
Antitrust: Commission welcomes General Court judgment upholding its decision against Intel
The European Commission welcomes today's judgment by the General Court (case T-286/09) which fully upholds the Commission's 2009 Decision which found that Intel had abused its dominant position and which imposed on Intel a fine of €1.06 billion (see IP/09/745). The judgment is significant because it confirms that the Commission was fully justified in pursuing the anticompetitive conduct in question in a major worldwide market. The Commission will continue to vigorously pursue abuses of dominant position, which restrict competition in the Single Market to the detriment of consumers.

EU says "Don't Look Away" to minors' exploitation in Brazil
A new campaign designed to raise awareness of the sexual exploitation of minors in Brazil during the World Cup was today launched by the EU. Entitled "Don't look Away" and supported by well-known Brazilian footballers, such as Kaká, the project involves setting up training seminars for public managers and debates on the subject in each host city of the World Cup matches, as well as increasing support to combat sexual exploitation and making victims aware of their rights. It includes the wide promotion of the 'Call 100' hotline to enable anyone who witnesses the sexual exploitation of minors to report it. As part of the World Cup Campaign, a series of factsheets – one for each city hosting a match - on the EU's key human rights projects in that region are available, to increase awareness on the remaining challenges that Brazil faces.
New framework on Market Abuse published in the Official Journal
Today, Regulation No 596/2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) and Directive 2014/57/EU on criminal sanctions for market abuse (Market Abuse Directive) have been published in the EU Official Journal. The Market Abuse Regulation shall enter into application in July 2016. Member States have two years to transpose the Directive on criminal sanctions for market abuse into their national law. The new rules on market abuse update and strengthen the existing framework to ensure market integrity and investor protection provided by the existing Market Abuse Directive ( 2003/6/EC) which will now be repealed. The Market Abuse Regulation ensures regulation keeps pace with market developments such as the growth of new trading platforms, over the counter (OTC) trading and new technology such as high frequency trading (HFT), strengthens the fight against market abuse across commodity and related derivative markets, explicitly bans the manipulation of benchmarks (such as LIBOR), reinforces the investigative and administrative sanctioning powers of regulators and ensures a single rulebook while reducing, where possible, the administrative burdens on SME issuers. The Directive on criminal sanctions for market abuse (Market Abuse Directive) complements the Market Abuse Regulation by requiring all Member States to provide for harmonised criminal offences of insider dealing and market manipulation, and to impose maximum criminal penalties of not less than 4 and 2 years imprisonment for the most serious market abuse offences. Member States will have to make sure that such behaviour, including the manipulation of benchmarks, is a criminal offence, punishable with effective sanctions everywhere in Europe. See also MEMO/14/78 and MEMO/13/774 .
New legislative framework for markets in financial instruments published in the Official Journal
Today, the Directive on Markets in Financial Instruments repealing Directive 2004/39/EC (MiFID II) and the Regulation on Markets in Financial Instruments (MiFIR) have been published in the EU Official Journal. Member States have two years to transpose the new rules which will be applicable starting January 2017. The new framework aims to make financial markets more efficient, resilient and transparent. It introduces a market structure which closes loopholes and ensures that trading, wherever appropriate, takes place on regulated platforms. It introduces rules on high frequency trading. It improves the transparency and oversight of financial markets – including derivatives markets - and addresses the issue of excessive price volatility in commodity derivatives markets. A new framework will improve conditions for competition in the trading and clearing of financial instruments. Building on the rules already in place, the revised MiFID also strengthens the protection of investors by introducing robust organisational and conduct requirements or by strengthening the role of management bodies. The new framework also increases the role and supervisory powers of regulators and establishes powers to prohibit or restrict the marketing and distribution of certain products in well-defined circumstances. A harmonised regime for granting access to EU professional markets for firms from third countries, based on an equivalence assessment of third country jurisdictions by the Commission, is introduced.
Additional information is available online .
Another step in the implementation of the bank reform: publication of two key pieces of the Single Rulebook for banks
Today, the Directive on the Recovery and Resolution of Credit Institutions and Investment Firms (BRRD) and the recast Directive on Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS) have been published in the EU Official Journal. The BRRD provides a complete framework for the crisis management of banks, while the DGS Directive strengthens the protection of citizens' deposits in case of bank failures. Member States must now transpose both texts into their national legislation within the defined timeline. Today's publications contribute to making the Single Rulebook for the banks of the 28 Member States a reality and pave the way to its centralised implementation within the Banking Union (see MEMO/14/294 available in all EU languages).
Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of joint control over Scholz by Toyota Tsusho Corporation and the Scholz family shareholders
The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of joint control over Scholz of Germany by Toyota Tsusho Corporation ("TTC") of Japan and the Scholz family shareholders. TTC provides logistics services for the automotive industry, and acts as a trader of metals, machinery, chemicals and other products. Scholz is currently solely controlled by the Scholz family shareholders, who also control other companies mainly investing in real estate. Scholz is active in trading and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap and steel. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, because of the limited overlaps between the merging parties' activities. The transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.7258 .
Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of SHELL Italia and SHELL Italia Aviazione by Kuwait Petroleum
The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of two Italian Shell Group companies, SHELL Italia S.p.A. and Shell Italia Aviazione S.r.l., by Kuwait Petroleum Europe BV ("KPE") of The Netherlands and Kuwait Petroleum Italia ("KPI") of Italy. KPE is the holding company for the majority of the assets of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) in Europe and KPC's investments in the Far East. KPI is the Italian subsidiary of KPE. It refines and distributes petroleum products in Italy and sells motor, marine and aviation fuels, lubricants and heating oil. Shell Italia sells motor fuels at retail level and manages the supply and distribution of motor fuels through its retail network. Shell Aviazione markets aviation fuels and holds interests in joint ventures that provide into-plane services and aviation fuel storage. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns, in particular because of the parties' moderate market shares and the presence of other competitors that will continue to constrain the merged entity. The transaction was examined under the normal merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the under the case number M.7196 .
Increasing product safety for EU consumers through new standards
The European Commission today adopted decisions on standards which were developed by CEN, one of the European standardisation organisations. These decisions will allow manufacturers, importers and inspectors to rely on specific standards ensuring the safety of consumer-fitted childproof locking devices for windows and balcony doors, floating leisure articles to be used on or in the water (e.g. rubber boats, air mattresses etc.) and a range of different training and gymnastic equipment (e.g. exercise bicycles, treadmills, trampolines etc.). The products for which standards are being adopted feature in accidents and injuries. These can be serious and sometimes even fatal accidents such as drowning or children falling from high buildings. Compliance with these standards will enhance consumer safety and reduce the occurrence of such incidents.

EU-funded ICT tool to help patients with brain trauma
Traumatic brain injuries affect 1.6 million people in the EU every year. 70,000 don't survive and a further 100,000 are left with a permanent disability.

Mission for Growth: European SMEs seeking business opportunities in Paraguay
After visiting Panama and Argentina, European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani will travel to Paraguay on 14th June accompanied by a large business delegation composed of more than 20 companies and 3 business associations representing 9 EU Member States. Participating companies generate jobs for more than 90.000 people and represent a turnover of around € 56 bn, i.e. more than the GDP of Slovenia and Estonia that is € 53 bn (2013). The participating business associations represent more or less 280.000 European companies, generating additional jobs and turnover.
State aid: Commission approves amendments to restructuring plan of Belgian insurer Ethias
The European Commission has found proposed amendments to the restructuring plan of the Belgian insurance company Ethias to be in line with EU state aid rules. In particular, the Commission has agreed to the proposed prolongation by three years of the rundown of Ethias' retail life insurance portfolio as well as the measures aimed at ensuring the profitability and low risk of its other activities. The Commission considers that these amendments do not endanger the restoration of Ethias' long term viability nor do they increase the risk of competition distortions in the Single Market. Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy Joaquín Almunia said: "The amendments to Ethias' restructuring plan proposed by the Belgian authorities aim to consolidate the viability of Ethias, taking into account the current market conditions, without increasing the risk of distorting competition in the Single Market."

The majority of people have probably experienced various unexpected financial problems. Emergency medical bills, home or car repairs, education expenses may really stretch us financially. In situations like this one might recommend turning to emergency funds or nest egg to cover the necessary expenses. But what should people do if they have run out of all their savings? A quick payday cash loan can help us get out of these financial binds and tide over till our next salary.
The question that may arise here is how quick this 'quick' cash advance is? The answer really matters because sometimes the money is needed immediately. Well, actually with an instant payday loan the cash may be transferred to your account within several hours, sometimes within one hour. Sounds too good to be true?
To be completely honest, no payday loan lender will give you cash in several minutes. Nevertheless, getting a payday loan within one hour is quite possible. The online loan application can help to significantly shorten the approval procedure, and you will get the funds much faster than if you choose to go to a brick and mortar payday shop.
What is the fastest way to attain a loan online?
To streamline the procedure of getting a loan online, it is vital to be aware of all the requirements beforehand. In spite of a large number of online lending companies providing loans to US citizens, the terms and conditions are rather standard. You should be an American citizen above 18 years. You should be regularly employed and you are to be holding your current position for at least 2 months. Last but not least is a valid banking account for the money to be transferred there. Some quick payday lenders are ready to work only with those who possess checking accounts, but others are flexible enough to accept a savings account alternative. It is crucial that you from the very begging pick lending companies which answer your specific needs.
One more way to make sure the approval will not take too much time is to set some limits to your cash advance request. Generally the amount of the cash loan may vary from $100 to $1500 dollars, but the smaller sum you ask for, the easier you will get it. Besides, with smaller loans the repayments are much more manageable which an advantage is always for you.
Moreover, choose to work with those lending companies which advertise instant loans and promise to transfer the money in an hour or so. Such information can be easily found online; if you are not certain, look through the frequently asked questions section.
Finally, it is good to know when to apply to multiply your chances of receiving the money fast. With such an option as online application you can fill in the form at any time of the day, however, it will work out quicker if you do it during regular business hours, preferably in the first part of the day. Unfortunately, instant cash advances are unlikely to be available on Saturday or Sunday or during holidays, so if it is possible try to plan in advance.
When you have all this information on hand, obtaining the money you need quickly is quite possible. Quick online payday loans are a viable option for time-sensitive emergency situations.

April 2017
The funeral of The Revd Richard Buckley, in the form of a requiem mass, brought to mind some words inscribed on a modest tablet in St Paul's cathedral commemorating its architect, Sir Christopher Wren: "Si monumentum requiris, circumspice" – "if you seek his monument, look around you." Fr. Richard's monument was not the building we were in, but rather the gathering of people, family, parishioners, friends and colleagues who had come to give thanks for his life and to share in the sacrament through which we are all, living and departed, joined together in one communion and fellowship.
I only knew Richard for a little over a year, but that has been long enough to appreciate his quiet courtesy. The relationship between a parish priest and his predecessor or successor is not always straightforward, and he handled it with a delicacy which immediately put me at ease. He couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Those to whom Richard had ministered in Wentworth and elsewhere over the years had good cause to be grateful, and the presence of so many of them on 15th March showed that they were.
That quiet courtesy which was so characteristic of Richard is sadly lacking in today's world – and, sad to say, in today's Church. It is not just a matter of temperament. The Tractarians (in whose tradition both Richard and I were trained for the ministry) set great store by "reserve." They would have been most uncomfortable with the brash, unsubtle, "in your face" religion which now seems to be so prevalent. They would have been uncomfortable, not because they saw Christianity as cosy and undemanding, but because they saw strident forms of religion as doing violence to complex and often sensitive souls, and failing to reflect the courtesy of God himself as revealed in Jesus Christ. As Holy Week approaches it's time to ponder anew the great mystery of the God who doesn't force his love on us but simply offers it to us.
Two centuries before the Tractarians, George Herbert (1593-1632, poet and model parish priest), wrote a poem which speaks of God's hospitality and the quiet courtesy with which he offers it. It would make a good preparation for our Maundy Thursday worship, when we go in spirit to the Upper Room to recall the Last Supper and commemorate the institution of the sacrament which binds us both to our Lord and, through him, to each other.
Love bade me welcome. Yet my soul drew back
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked any thing.
A guest, I answered, worthy to be here:
Love said, You shall be he.
I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee.
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
Who made the eyes but I?
Truth Lord, but I have marred them: let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.
And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame?
My dear, then I will serve.
You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat:
So I did sit and eat.
George Herbert

In this episode, I take a look back at our first 15 episodes and see what "flying lessons" we can gather about living a life of faith.
Six flying lessons:
Melanie Dorsey shares how she first began painting in 2013 on a whim to stage a piece of furniture that she had given a makeover. She listed the piece for sale and knew staging would push the sale. It did but also had several inquiries over her simple bird painting.
Thus began her "career" in art! She painted; she prayed. As she prayed and listened, the Lord began speaking here and there to her heart about something new He was leading her to and through.
What few people know is that her son, Andrew, was (IS) the artist in her family. Many of the supplies I began with were from his stash. Often tears flowed as she picked up a marker, a can of paint, a colored pencil or a waterproof pen - they were little reminders of her son and hints of a new promise from God.

Even though it's right there in the title, "fantastic" might be a touch hyperbolic in describing director Wes Anderson's stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl's "The Fantastic Mr. Fox, " but only by a whisker.
A fun and gently funny caper film about a suave fox who matches wits with a trio of nasty human farmers, Anderson's maiden journey into the world of feature animation boasts all the hallmarks of his live-action films. It's colorful, it's quirky, it's clever, it's got that oh-so-Anderson absurdist bent. And so it fits neatly in the Anderson oeuvre, alongside the live-action likes of "The Royal Tenenbaums, " "Rushmore" and "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."
At the same time, though, Anderson exhibits a keen awareness of when to rein in the weirdness. He allows just enough to keep things interesting, and to keep his film from bowing to animation formula, but not enough to turn off families looking for a more familiar moviegoing experience.
The result is a "Wind in the Willows"-flavored adventure with a distinctively artsy flair.
Every bit as impressive as the film's intricate and beautifully surreal visuals -- which are built around a stop-motion menagerie of critters in dapper wardrobes and with fur that blows in the breeze -- is the story itself.
Dahl's original is delightful, but it's merely a sketch of a tale when compared to his other, more well-known books ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, " "James and the Giant Peach, " "Witches"). For the movie version, Anderson enlisted the pen of Noah Baumbach to help expand Dahl's 80-something page children's book into something a little more substantial. So while Dahl's original story remains intact, it's sandwiched between a character-developing prologue that fills the first 25 minutes -- in which we're introduced to Mr. Fox as a reformed chicken-coop raider who has since taken up a career as a newspaper columnist -- and an expanded conclusion that tacks another 25 onto the tail end.
Of course, it doesn't hurt one bit when you've got the likes of George Clooney and Meryl Streep expertly leading the vocal cast. (They're joined by Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman, who are all members of the Anderson repertory, as well as Michael Gambon and Willem Dafoe.)
Clooney voices the title character with a Danny Ocean flair, all suave and sophisticated and cocksure that he can outsmart the farmers and help himself to their stores of meats, poultry and cider. Streep is his wife, who made him promise to give up his life of crime when their first child came along -- a promise he has come to regret.
Now, with his son approaching adolescence, Mr. Fox is feeling the itch again. One last score, that's all he needs, and then he'll give up his life of crime for good.
Unfortunately, last scores almost never go well -- at least not the ones they make movies about. In this case, Mr. Fox's heist brings down the full the wrath of the human farmers -- Boggis, Bunce and Bean -- on the entire woodland community, and so it's up to Fox to make things right.
Even if the humor often stops just short of being laugh-out-loud funny, it's consistently amusing stuff. (The best running joke: The use of the word "cuss" as a catch-all swear word, as in, "Are you cussing with me?" and "What the cuss?" and "You scared the cuss out of us!")
Beneath the silliness, there are sophisticated themes at work, which weighs down Anderson's film at times. Also, it's hard not to shake the feeling that Anderson and Baumbach just couldn't come up with a good ending -- so they settled for an unfocused, mediocre one.
Still, it's a satisfying mix of art and entertainment -- not to mention one impressive cussing debut for Wes Anderson the animator.

Growing up in the late 80s, and early 90s I was at the right age when Power Rangers first arrived on TV. It was a great show and had a lot to offer: Fighting, monsters, robots, developing a crush on Amy Jo Johnson (100% why I watched the Disney Movie Suzy Q).
Now that the Power Rangers are returning in a gritty movie, we'll be back to seeing Putty Patrol, Rita Repulsa and Goldar soon enough! To be fair the Power Rangers haven't gone anywhere because they milked that cash cow for the better part of 2 decades but nothing came quite as iconic as the original run.
While the new movie will return to the fun days of the Dino-Zords and Zordon, it does look like it's gone in the gritty direction. The Rangers look quite Iron-Man-esque, Rita trades her silly hat for a more sultry look, and we've only heard whispers of Zordon or Alpha 5. Since Pacific Rim released, many fans wanted to see a Power Rangers movie along the same tone and that appears to be the case with the new trailer. So come next year we'll see what a more serious Power Ranger movie looks like this side of Ivan Ooze.
While details have been scarce about the movie, we still don't know who or what the giant monster will be. There must be a giant monster to prompt the MegaZord to throw down so I thought it'd be fun to list a few monsters I'd like to see get updated and put on the big screen. (While I am a geek about things, I barely remember any of the monsters, let alone their names so Googling things like "Power Ranger Pig Monster" or "Power Ranger Fish Monster" became my "research" for this). Anyway here's who I'd like to see them brawl against. (FULL STORY)

John Houghton, F.R.S.
John Houghton speaking at a climate change conference in High Wycombe, 26 February, 2005image © Kaihsu Tai
John Houghton, the subject of this article, is an eminent man of Wales, who has made huge contributions to the science of climate change. Ordinary conversation today, and for centuries past as far as I can guess, is often related to the weather of the day, the days recently gone and forecasts for days ahead. Of late, however, by which I mean the past five years, such conversations have changed from being comments about immediate and local features of weather, to concerns about global features of climate change. The change of vocabulary is significant.
Individual and community memory can readily recall cases of extraordinary weather in the UK; such as the winter snow of 1947 and 1962, the floods of 1953 in Lynmouth and the drought of 1976. On the whole, however, such instances remain in the memory because of their distinctive differences from the norm of British weather. We are all familiar with the general features of the four seasons and their constancy. Holidays and gardening activities were planned against this constancy. And, in any case, it was all out of our hands, because it was Mother Nature doing what she willed.
Today, however, the familiar seasonal constancy of our weather seems to be less assured and reliable. Extreme conditions are now almost expected, which is something of a contradiction in terms, but certainly not remarkable to us. The prominence of television, radio and other media communication, bringS to our attention, almost force it upon us, similar or worse extremes of weather in other parts of the world. On one hand is the memory of the ferocious, short-term tsunami of 2005, with its shocking devastation of property and human life. On the other is the quiet, but almost sinister, long-term alteration of the boundaries of the Arctic ice. Where does the melted ice go?
John Houghton was born in Diserth, Denbighshire, on 31 December, 1931. His primary education was received at Arcville College, a private school in Rhyl, north Wales and his secondary education at Rhyl High School. After a distinguished school career he went to Oxford University to read physics, with special attention to astro-physics.This led to research studies in the science of the weather and, during the 1970s, he was principal investigator for NASA, responsible for the instruments flown on the Nimbus satellites. He was appointed to the staff at Oxford University, as lecturer, reader and, from 1976 to 1983, Professor of Atmospheric Physics. During this time he was involved with research studies at the Meteorological Office and ultimately he became Director General of the Met. Office from 1983 to 1991.
On his retirement from the Civil Service he was appointed to be Chair of the UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. Between 1988 and 2002 he was Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In 2005 he gave evidence before a US senate committee on climate change.
Honorary degrees and many other awards have been showered on him, including: Fellowship of the Royal Society (1972); a knighthood (1991); the Japan Prize (2005), for his research on atmospheric structure and composition and for promotion of international assessments of climate change; and a share of a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, for his work on climate change at the IPCC.
His technical publications are legion, but perhaps more relevant for interested and concerned non-specialists is his book Global Warming – The Complete Briefing (Lion, 1994). In Chapter 8 – Why should we be concerned? – he shares his thoughts, related to his Christian convictions, about human responsibility for planetary climate change. He also considers possible courses of remedial action. The book was republished, with more recent data, in 2005. Both versions are well worth reading.
Among his memorable comments are:
"The impacts of global warming are such that I have no hesitation in describing it as a weapon of mass destruction … Like terrorism this weapon knows no boundaries …"
(Guardian, 28 July 2003)
"The world will not come to an end but the incidence of disasters will have a very big impact and in a way that we cannot predict; rises in sea levels will displace millions of people …"
(The Independent, 10 August 2003)
Since his retirement, John Houghton has lived in Aberdyfi, Gwynedd.
And now, never previously contemplated as possible, we are challenged to consider that the emerging trends of weather patterns are, in part at least, caused by human activity across our planet. Arguably, the acceptance of this realisation is more of a challenge to us, as individuals, local communities and national governments, than the acceptance of the rightness to arrange local and international aid in the context of specific disasters. It is a wholly new intellectual and moral challenge to contemplate that the bonfire in my garden is similar in kind, if not in degree, to the outpourings of a power station in the context of causing climate change. Does my failure to fill my domestic green bag really take its place alongside the wanton destruction of the Amazon rain forest? John Houghton has gone a long way in answering these questions.

In part one of this series, I established that in spite of good news for the ACC surrounding new member schools – and having a couple of teams in the top 5 in football – that North Carolina's athletic director Bubba Cunningham was among several high level conference officials who were suffering some heartburn about the ACC's ability to compete going forward. The idea of Carolina perhaps joining another conference was even hinted at. These concerns were uncovered as part of an information dump obtained by The Raleigh News and Observer as part of a freedom of information filing.
And while the newspaper's interests were elsewhere, this admission of potential weakness in the conference from its flagship member is the intriguing story. It demonstrates that Cunningham has an eye on the ACC's potentially fatal foundational flaw: demographics.
It's not just that the ACC is primarily a basketball league in an era where football's influence on the entire landscape is more pronounced than ever – though that's certainly a major problem – it's that the ACC's member schools's enrollments, not to mention their non enrolled natural fan bases, are simply minuscule when compared to those of the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12.
Size matters, and the member schools of the other major leagues are all significantly bigger on average than the ACC member schools are. Moreover, these other leagues dominate wide geographic areas by having "the university" of so many states. The SEC has the dominant school in nine states: Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and now Missouri. In addition, they have one of the two dominant schools in South Carolina and a close runner up in Texas. In Alabama and Mississippi, they have the second most dominant schools as well. The SEC dominates 11 states, all of them sports crazy and two of them having huge populations. Just by the name of the schools involved, the natural fan bases in all of these states migrate to the SEC members.
Similarly, the Big Ten dominates a similar footprint in the Midwest, dominating nine states and boasting several of the nation's largest enrollments – and, like the SEC, has only one small private school.
The ACC is in a totally different situation. With four of its members concentrated in North Carolina, the league's footprint dominates only North Carolina and Virginia, and they're about to lose Maryland. Georgia Tech, Florida State and soon to be added Louisville have no where near the followings of Georgia, Florida and Kentucky, while private Boston College and semi private Pitt remain merely afterthoughts in pro dominated cities.
Duke, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Miami, yes Miami, are small private schools with small alum bases. You might say that while the ACC casts a long shadow with the high profile Duke-Carolina rivalry and a fading memory of having invented the conference basketball tournament, the league's footprint is still shallow.
So what does all this mean? It means that the ACC simply cannot compete with the four big leagues in terms of stadium revenues or television revenues in football. The fan bases are simply not there to fill the seats or view the screens in football. Tennessee, even in a down year, will out draw Duke, Wake and Miami combined in football. And that's just their orange-white spring game.
Without a doubt, ACC hoops is still a great TV product–and does well in the arena and on television–but basketball revenue is just a rounding error compared to football in the big picture now.
Moreover, there's more to this competition than just the ticket and television revenue. There's the ESPN-driven fact that the ACC faces a daunting image problem with regard to televised football. Stadiums that hold 75 to 109 thousand fans, and which are full, simply make for better TV and a better player atmosphere than small stadiums that are not full – and in Miami's case, large stadiums that are almost empty.
Simply put, an SEC or Big Ten game simply looks, sounds and feels different on the tube than any ACC game not in Tallahassee, Clemson or Blacksburg – all of which have great game day atmospheres. Again, it's not that ACC fans are not good fans or don't love football – it's that there simply are not many ACC fans compared to the fan bases of the other four leagues.
There's a saying in politics and geography that "you can't fight demographics." Unfortunately for the ACC, the league is going to have to try – if they want to remain one of the major conferences in the coming years. (Part 2 of a 3 part series).

Patrick might have a ready-made top business job as his dad's right-hand man on the new season of TV show Celebrity Apprentice - Arnie has signed on to replace Donald Trump as the show's frontman.

Music I'm relaxing to — Game of Thrones Main Theme Acoustic (Boyce Avenue). I listened to this while having a drink at my hotel in Makati.
Best podcast episode I found this week — I'm on vacation!
|Having a drink at my hotel. On the right is the rum and coke welcome drink.
What I'm watching — Fawlty Towers. Finished the last two episodes (11 and 12) in my hotel room with room service. I ordered buffalo wings and enjoyed them with my San Miguel beer. Written by Rob Hartill: Inept and manic English hotel owner and manager, Basil Fawlty, isn't cut out for his job. He's intolerant, rude and paranoid. All hell frequently breaks loose as Basil tries to run the hotel, constantly under verbal (and sometime physical) attack from his unhelpful wife Sybil, and hindered by the incompetent, but easy target, Manuel; their Spanish waiter.
Something saving me time — In this case it is someone saving me time. I have a driver who takes me to places and waits for me, so that's convenient. But this is only for one day as I familiarize myself with the place. Daniel the driver is the same person who picked me up from the airport and will also be the same person to send me there when I leave Manila. He's a jolly good guy!
Quote that has influenced my mindset — "Challenge is not taking people so far out of their comfort zone that they are terrified. It can actually be just doing something you already know well, but doing it in a completely different way." —Mike Finch, Artistic Director and Joint-CEO, Circus Oz (quoted in The Innovation Formula by Dr Amantha Imber, p.8)

DOE Grant Gives Major Boost to Training Local Workforce
In May 2015 the Department of Energy awarded $994,000 to the Savannah River Site Community Reuse Organization (SRSCRO) for continued support of training programs developed under a Department of Energy grant titled "Advancing Nuclear Skills Regionally (ANSR)." The training programs were created and implemented in response to a study that showed the local demand for nuclear workers could grow to 10,000 over the next decade. The grant, now in its fifth year and totaling $4.8 million, is administered by the Nuclear Workforce Initiative (NWI®) and overseen by the SRSCRO.
Grant funds are being shared by Aiken Technical College, Augusta Technical College, Georgia Regents University – Augusta, University of South Carolina Aiken and University of South Carolina Salkehatchie. This is the first time that area colleges from both sides of the Savannah River have collaborated on a grant. The achievement demonstrates the institutions' strong commitment to regional workforce development.
The five colleges and the SRSCRO are also partnering with the Department of Energy in the areas of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and research for the DOE Environmental Management program through a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU acknowledges a long-term goal of expanding opportunities for joint work and support.
Training Programs supported by the grant are:
- Aiken Technical College
- Associate of Applied Science in Nuclear Quality Systems and Nuclear Welding Certificate
- Augusta Technical College
- Chemical Technology Associate of Applied Science Degree and Nuclear Career Advisement
- Georgia Regents University – Augusta
- Nuclear Science Tracks in Chemistry and Physics Degree Programs
- University of South Carolina Aiken
- Environmental Remediation and Restoration Biology Specialized Degree
- University of South Carolina Salkehatchie
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Programs
Local impact from these programs is clearly evident as each institution is attracting students and producing graduates. As of June 2015, ANSR training programs have enrolled 600 college students. Already, 150 students have graduated from ANSR grant supported programs and are entering the workforce. STEM programs developed through ANSR have reached more than 3200 students.
These training programs are important to the region because of increasing nuclear workforce needs. Long-term nuclear workforce demand is growing in the region as new nuclear reactors are under construction at V.C. Summer Nuclear Station in Fairfield County, SC, and at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, GA. New facilities are also under construction at the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site.
In many cases the nuclear industry's highly skilled workforce is preparing to retire, also increasing workforce demand. It is estimate that about half of the industry's workforce will be eligible to retire during the next 10 years across the nation. Training new workers has become an industry priority nationwide.
The NWI® works closely with partners in business, academia, economic development and state and local governments to ensure local citizens have an opportunity to develop the skills they need to fill these future jobs.

Special equipment: Bamboo steamer
For the Buddha's Delight:
Cover stir-fry vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water. Cook on HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add stir-fry vegetables, garlic, and cilantro. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Squeeze out excess moisture from cooled vegetable mixture and place in food processor. Add two egg whites and cornstarch. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and holds together.
Working in batches, lay out 6 to 8 gyoza wrappers. Lightly brush with the remaining 1 egg white and spoon 1 tablespoon of vegetable mixture in the center of each. Fold in half and press together to seal edges. Stand dumplings seam-side up by tapping on countertop. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Line bamboo steamer with a piece of parchment paper that has been cut to fit. Spray parchment lightly with cooking spray. Put 10 to 12 dumplings in steamer at a time. Place steamer over medium pot of boiling water. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
For the Ginger-Chive Ponzu:
In a small bowl, stir together all ponzu ingredients.
Serve steamed dumplings hot with ponzu dipping sauce.

Black Friday (a.k.a. the biggest shopping day of the year) is so popular that stores have begun in the wee hours on the day after Thanksgiving to give shoppers a head start. But many find the idea of lining up in the cold outside a big box store repugnant. Who wants to get trampled at a Walmart trying to grab that big screen TV? These consumers say Cyber Monday and shopping from home is the way to go. Internet shopping is way more convenient and the deals are just as good. What do you think?
Fans say there's no beating the deals you can get on Black Friday, and the wait in line is totally worth it.
ya girl is PUMPED for black friday lemme tell you-- Hannah Meloche (@HannahMeloche) November 5, 2017
Can't wait for the 24th [?] [?] Black Friday-- Maka'Zinathi[?] (@Siphokuhle_) November 6, 2017
But others argue for Cyber Monday. No traffic, no crowds--for many, shopping in a store is the pits, no matter how good the deal.
Forget going to stores on Black Friday. Cyber Monday is where it's at, shopping in bed sounds like a better idea [?] [?]-- Lil Pumpkin Pie (@_DianaDane) November 3, 2017
And some say you're going to get better deals on Cyber Monday anyway.
