QuakeCon went by and i didn't even know sigh :(
Id announced their new game Rage. It runs on Mac, PC, XBox 360 and PS3 from the same source base. The major technical feature is MegaTexture where artists now don't need to worry about the texture size and they can make surface as detailed as they want without performance hit.
The major announcement for me was that Quake 3 is going to be made a web game. It's called Quake Zero. Anyone will be able to connect to internet, download Quake Zero client(?) and start playing online for free. They will use advertisement business model. Id is now split into two teams and one team is doing this work. The other team is working on Rage.

Future Stratigraphy
Presented by New Materialism research cluster, Future Stratigraphy comprised an exhibition, symposium and masterclass that will explore ways of understanding and envisioning the materiality of landscape, and the repercussions of human impact on the earth.
|Exhibition Opening Night
|6 - 8pm, Wednesday 5 October
|SCA Galleries
|The Sea within the Land Masterclass
|2 - 6pm, Monday 17 October
|Sydney College of the Arts and Callan Park
|Future Stratigraphy Symposium
|2 - 6pm, Tuesday 18 October
|SCA Auditorium
Exhibition: Future Stratigraphy
The Future Stratigraphy exhibition focuseD on art practices that metaphorically and actually engage with various layers of complex geological strata showing traces of human impact, commonly referred to as the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that begins when human activities started to have a significant global impact on earth's geology and ecosystems. In a multi-disciplinary response to these discourses, Future Stratigraphy askED, 'how will current human activities reveal themselves in the layers of the future?' through engaging human relationships with matter and materiality, exploring traces and scars of human presence on earth, challenging how we work with, exploit, understand and attempt to rehabilitate our planet.
ARTISTS: John Roloff, Josh Wodak, Tim Collins and Reiko Goto, Tracey Clement, David Haines and Joyce Hinterding, Elaine Gan, Kath Fries, Sean O'Connell, Penny Dunstan, Bryden Williams, Emma Robertson, Dell Walker, Kenneth Mitchell and Madeleine Boyd.
EXHIBITION DETAILS: Thursday 6 October - Saturday 29 October

Masterclass: The Sea Within The Land
2 - 6pm Monday 17 October
Sydney College of the Arts and Callan Park
This masterclass with international artist John Roloff explored site-engagement processes focusing on Callan Park as the site of Roloff's Sydney project, The Sea within the Land. The masterclass involved walking the site; discussing the area's past, present and future (in relation to geology, mapping, flora and fauna, and human engagement - the Gadigal and Wangal traditional custodians, history as colonial estate and psychiatric hospital, and current uses); and an outside workshop with above-ground echo-sounder technology.
John Roloff is a visual artist and professor at San Francisco Art Institute. He works conceptually with site, process and natural systems. With a background in science and geology, Roloff's work engages poetic and site-specific relationships between material, concept and performance in the domains of geology, ecology, architecture, ceramics, industry and mining, metabolic systems and history. He is known primarily for his outdoor kiln/furnace projects from the late 1970's to the early 1990's as well as other large-scale environmental, site-specific and gallery installations investigating geologic and natural phenomena. Roloff's work has been included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, UC Berkeley Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian Institution, Photoscene Cologne, the Venice Architectural and Art Biennales and The Snow Show in Kemi, Finland. He has received visual arts fellowships from the NEA, a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship, a California Arts Council grant and a Bernard Osher Fellowship at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, CA. Roloff is represented by Anglim Gilbert Gallery, San Francisco, CA and is tenured faculty in Sculpture/Ceramics, San Francisco Art Institute.

Ron Boyd is a conjoint professor at the University of Newcastle, he has worked as a marine geologist with forty years experience in the field. Boyd has published over 200 scientific articles and book chapters. Recently he has been working with multi beam imagery in marine geology researching seismic and sediments off Australia and the USA. Boyd has worked with Larry Mayer at UNH/CCOM and also runs his own research voyages off the East Coast of Australia from coast to deep ocean.
Tracey Clement is an artist, arts writer and current PhD candidate at SCA, the University of Sydney. Her current research responds to JG Ballard's novel The Drowned World. She is known for creating artworks that meticulously utilise labour intensive techniques for their conceptual resonance. In her Critical Cartography series of maps (exhibited in Future Stratigraphy) Clement charts hypothetical rising sea levels. The time-consuming effort of 'drowning' the world through drawing highlights our complicity in creating the current climate crisis. Clement has exhibited widely, both in Australia and overseas, and she is currently the Online Editor for Art Guide Australia.
Matt Poll is the Assistant Curator of the Macleay Museum Indigenous Heritage Collections and the University of Sydney's Repatriation Project Officer. He has previously worked as the Artistic Director of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists cooperative as well as other positions at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Wollongong City Gallery. Poll's current research project seeks to further develop methods of understanding the ways contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island artists have used museum collections, historic records and archival materials in the reconstruction of cultural identities, exploring how visual artists in particular have developed auto ethnographic methods of engaging with historical information outside of academic frameworks.
John Roloff is an artist and professor at San Francisco Art Institute. He works conceptually with site, process and natural systems. With a background in science and geology, Roloff's work engages poetic and site-specific relationships between material, concept and performance in the domains of geology, ecology, architecture, ceramics, industry and mining, metabolic systems and history.

Until recently, each residential treatment program for emotionally disturbed teen-agers in Broward County operated in a vacuum, serving only its own clients.
But now two non-profit agencies have joined forces and become Outreach Broward, an organization that will improve the coordination of services by consolidating three programs for teen-agers.
Outreach Broward will be the largest community-based residential treatment program in the county -- a merger of The Chord and Adolescents in Distress, two agencies that run group homes.
``We`re really excited about this consolidation. Before, everyone was guarding their own turf. This will bring everyone together,`` said Barbara Myrick, Outreach Broward`s new executive director.
The Chord is a 16-bed residential facility in Pompano Beach for girls with emotional and behavioral problems, about 40 percent of whom have been physically or sexually abused.
Adolescents in Distress serves about 20 clients through a long-term residential program for severely emotionally troubled boys at the Sharon Solomon Center and a short-term program for abused, neglected or abandoned boys at the Mills Shelter. Both centers are in Fort Lauderdale.
While the consolidation is not a physical one because the buildings will remain in the same locations, officials said the services will be expanded.
Myrick said the consolidation will not only provide more money for programs because the number of directors will be reduced from four to two, but will allow teen-agers whose condition is changing to move within the program to a residential facility more suited to their needs.

Say hello to OrbiShape, your new personal internal bra!
About Orbishape
Restore & maintain the youthful appearance of your breasts
- Natural, youthful appearance & shape
- Long-lasting Results
- Supports your breasts and acts as an 'internal bra'
- Prevents re-sagging caused by gravity
- Minimizes scarring traditionally seen in breast surgery procedures
- Supports your breast tissue & reduces pressure on the suture line
- Improves the appearance, projection and position of your nipples
Minimize Scarring Visibility
Unsightly scars are one of the major drawbacks of breast surgery. OrbiShape carries the majority of the weight bearing breast tissue and releases pressure on the sutures, which effectively reduces scarring visibility.
Prevent re-sagging
Current breast procedures lose their effect over time due to skin laxity, pressure exerted by gravity, movement and the weight of breast tissue on the skin. The OrbiShape system supports and bears the weight of breast tissue, in order to prevent re-sagging and ensure a satisfactory appearance over time.
firmer, younger-looking breasts
OrbiShape™ enhances the overall effects of your breast surgery, resulting in firmer, younger-looking breasts that keep their shape over time. Whether you choose to have a Breast Lift, Breast Reduction or a Symmetrization procedure, OrbiShape has many proven advantages.
"I am very happy with the results, I would definitely recommend to my friends"
"I was concerned with scarring and potential pain, and I was surprised not to feel any pain following the procedure. ..the healing process has been excellent"

CNET First Look
Koss PortaPro HeadphonesKoss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.
-Hi, I'm Justin Yu with CNET.com with the first look at the Koss PortaPro Headphones. With so many headphones coming out these days, it is hard to commit to just one pair without listening to them first. But, why not choose one that's withstood over 20 years of competition? The Koss PortaPros actually came out in 1984, and they've since become a cult favorite for their unique design and their excellent fidelity, and they also have a lifetime warranty that makes their $50 price tag even more appealing. So, first off, there's no mystery about what decade inspired these headphones. Their retro-looking ear cups may look weird to you, but they do actually serve a purpose. The earbuds here are secured by this extra padding up top by your temple, and there's even a comfort zone switch on the side that lets you adjust the tension against your temple. Now, our single complaint with the physical build is that these 2 floating piece headbands don't have a lock to keep it in place. So, Koss intended this piece to cut out the complicated adjustment process every time you put them on your head. It's kind of automatic when you stick them on. But it's also easy for hair to get stuck in the metal sliders, and it doesn't happen that often, but just enough to where we can't quite overlook it. Now, the PortaPros also fold up and clip together for convenient storage and this tiny clip in the middle here keeps the 2 sides bound together and organized. Looks aside, the reason why the PortaPros are still being sold is because of their upper-tier fidelity. The retro look is a hit or miss, but you can't really argue with their ability to pump out a ton of bass. Koss also managed to find the recipe for an impressively well-balanced headphone that's suitable across all genres. That's with excellent clarity and overall sound that weighs slightly heavier in the low end. And although they're not specifically designed for sound isolation, the over-the-ear or circumoral design does an excellent job of blocking out ambient noise without leaking your music to everyone else around you. Best of all, Koss backs the $50 PortaPros with a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty. We actually tested this out for ourselves with a broken pair. All it takes is $6 to cover shipping and 2 weeks later, we received a brand new set of PortaPros with a thank you note from Koss. All things considered, you can certainly spend quadruple the amount of a nice set of custom earphones or a pair of headphones designed to compliment your home theater. But, if you don't wanna spend a lot and just need a set of durable, dependable headphones and listen to on the go or at work, the versatile Koss PortaPros are in our solid CNET Editor's Choice Award and are sure to impress you as well. You can read the full review on CNET.com, but that's gonna do it for me. I'm Justin Yu. These are the Koss PortaPro Headphones and that sounds good to me.

Statement of the Children's Community Urging Congress to Act Quickly on a Strong, Five-Year Extension of Funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program
As advocates for children and pregnant women, today we call on Congress to take immediate action to stabilize CHIP in its current form and enact a five-year extension of CHIP funding. Congress should protect the gains in children's health coverage that have resulted in more than 95 percent of all children in America being enrolled in some form of insurance coverage. Together, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are an integral part of this success and we urge Congress to ensure that coverage for children and pregnant women provided through Medicaid and CHIP is protected and not disrupted in any upcoming legislation.

Children's Group Letter to The Honorable Bill Cassidy
As child health advocates and pediatric providers working together toward a common goal of improving access to health coverage for our nation's children and pregnant women, we thank you for drawing attention to children's unique health needs and for arguing in favor of a "Jimmy Kimmel test" before acting on health reform legislation. This test is one that should ensure that we protect children's coverage.

The President's FY 2018 Budget Blueprint, Part I: "Skinny" in Stature and Details, But Huge in Harms For Low-income Children and Adults
The President's 2018 Budget Blueprint may be "skinny" in stature and by virtue of its dearth of detail, but it is huge in the harm it portends for our country's most vulnerable children and adults — and a bad sign of what is still to come later this spring when the full budget (Part II) is presented.

Marian Wright Edelman Speaks Out Against the American Health Care Act
The Children's Defense Fund has made giving every child a healthy start a core part of our mission for all of our 44 years. We are extremely concerned that the American Health Care Act under consideration by your committee would undo more than 50 years of progress made expanding comprehensive child-appropriate health coverage to millions of children. Today, thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicaid, and the Children's Health insurance Program (CHIP), 95 percent of children in America have health coverage – an historic high. The American Health Care Act threatens progress at a time when we must continue to move forward, not backwards for children. We urge you not to move the act out of committee without major revisions for children.

The Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS): Final Rule
The Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) is a data collection system designed to collect uniform and reliable information across the states on the experiences and characteristics of the children in foster care and children adopted with involvement of the public agency responsible for administering funds distributed under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act.

Protect the ACA for Children and Families
Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010, 20 million people previously uninsured have gained health coverage. Under the ACA, millions of children and adults are now receiving preventive services such as immunizations at no cost, and can no longer be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions or face lifetime limits on coverage. Women can no longer be charged more for coverage than men and states cannot cut or scale back health coverage for children. Most Americans, regardless of source of coverage, have seen significant new protections under the ACA. All of this is at risk if the ACA is repealed.

Congress Must Not Repeal the Affordable Care Act without a Replacement That Protects Children and Families
Republican congressional leaders have stated their intent to move quickly in early January to repeal as much of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as they can without enacting a full replacement plan immediately. This action would result in loss of coverage for millions who gained affordable health coverage through the ACA and would destabilize the entire individual health care market.

What Does A Medicaid Block Grant or Per Capita Cap Mean for Children and Families
Thanks to Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the health insurance marketplace, today more than 95 percent of children in America have health coverage. Medicaid is lean and efficient, serving millions of low-income children, pregnant women, children and adults with disabilities, and seniors. Children constitute 43 percent of all enrollees. Without Medicaid's strong protections, coverage guarantee, and comprehensive, age-appropriate health and mental health coverage, many children would go uninsured or underinsured, increasing short and long term costs for states and local communities while jeopardizing children's academic performance and their futures. Our nation's leaders must reject structural changes and cuts to Medicaid that would undermine its critical protections, hard-earned coverage and resulting health gains for children made over more than 50 years.
January 4, 2017
Thanks in large part to Medicaid and its partner, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), more than 95 percent of all children in American now have health insurance. Medicaid is a lean, efficient program that has historically served primarily low-income children and seniors, and children and adults with disabilities, such as Down syndrome. Forty-three percent of all Medicaid beneficiaries are children. Without Medicaid's strong protections, coverage guarantee and comprehensive, age-appropriate health and mental health coverage, millions of children would go uninsured or underinsured, substantially increasing short and long term costs for states and local communities while jeopardizing children's futures. Children who are insured are more likely than their uninsured counterparts to be healthy, graduate from high school, attend college and earn more/pay more taxes as adults. As our nation's leaders make critical decisions about America's future, Medicaid must remain exempt from structural changes or cuts that would undermine its ability to serve children and other vulnerable populations.

Child Poverty in America 2015 National FactSheet
Poverty data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on September 13, 2016 reveal child poverty declined last year to 14.5 million poor children, one million fewer than in 2014, but still higher than before the recession began in 2007.

Family First Prevention Service Act DETAILED SUMMARY
The bipartisan, bicameral Family First Prevention Services Act of 2016 (H.R. 5456, S. 3065) was introduced in the House of Representatives on June 13 and in the Senate on June 16. This legislation allows for federal child welfare dollars to be used on prevention investments and encourages the placement of children in foster care in the least restrictive, most family-like settings appropriate to their special needs.
June 21, 2016
MaryLee Allen - Public Comments ESSA Title I Regs
CDF has been advocating for more than 40 years for closing the achievement gap for poor children, Black children and other children of color, children with disabilities, and children with other special needs. CDF has expressed our extreme concerns about the diminished federal role in the new act. However, we believe it is critically important to help states now implement meaningful state accountability systems and measures to promote achievement by vulnerable subgroups of children. The Department's remaining rulemaking and guidance authority is essential to make that happen.

Summary of the Family Stability and Kinship Care Act
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the House Ways and Means Committee, introduced the Family Stability and Kinship Care Act (S. 1964, H.R. 3781), which provides for important new investments in a range of prevention and family services to help keep children safely with family and out of foster care.

Child Poverty in America 2014 National Fact Sheet
Poverty data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on September 16, 2015 reveal that child poverty declined slightly in 2014, from 21.5 percent in 2013 to 21.1 percent in 2014. While child poverty rates declined for Hispanic, White and Asian children, Black children saw an increase and continue to have the highest child poverty rate. Despite some decreases child poverty among all children remains at shamefully high levels. One in five children – 15.5 million – were poor in 2014, and children remain the poorest age group in the country.

Action Ideas for the 2015 Children's Sabbaths Weekend and Throughout the Year
The National Observance of Children's Sabbaths is about more than worship — even though worship is central to the occasion. The weekend, with the insight and inspiration from the experience of worship, aims to generate powerful, faithful sustained action to improve the lives of children. The Children's Sabbath resource manual usually offers dozens of ideas and suggestions for actions that places of worship might take on the Children's Sabbath weekend to learn more and raise awareness, reach out and serve directly, and raise voices for justice. This year we are focusing on five key actions. We hope every place of worship will hold a "Bending the Arc Study & Action Circle" to study and act on CDF's 2015 Ending Child Poverty Now report. Never has it been more important to prevent threatened federal budget cuts to the programs we know lift children out of poverty — ending child poverty requires more investment in these programs, not less. We hope you will also take one or more of the other actions. This focused, united action will amplify the impact of the Children's Sabbath weekend and strengthen the connection across faith traditions as we unite to improve the lives of children throughout the year.
September 15, 2015
For the first time, this report shows that by investing an additional 2 percent of the federal budget into existing programs and policies that increase employment, make work pay, and ensure children's basic needs are met, the nation could reduce child poverty by 60 percent and lift 6.6 million children out of poverty.

Quick Reference
Symbol Be. A grey metallic element of group 2 (formerly IIA) of the periodic table; a.n. 4; r.a.m. 9.012; r.d. 1.85; m.p. 1278°C; b.p. 2970°C. Beryllium occurs as beryl (3BeO.Al2O3.6SiO2) and chrysoberyl (BeO.Al2O3). The metal is extracted from a fused mixture of BeF2/NaF by electrolysis or by magnesium reduction of BeF2. It is used to manufacture Be-Cu alloys, which are used in nuclear reactors as reflectors and moderators because of their low absorption cross section. Beryllium oxide is used in ceramics and in nuclear reactors. Beryllium and its compounds are toxic and can cause serious lung diseases and dermatitis. The metal is resistant to oxidation by air because of the formation of an oxide layer, but will react with dilute hydrochloric and sulphuric acids. Beryllium compounds show high covalent character. The element was isolated independently by F. Wöhler and A. A. Bussy in 1828.

He entertained without a script, improvising like a jazz musician, on any and every subject you can imagine. He invented and remains the master of talk radio. Shepherd perpetrated one of the great literary hoaxes of all time, promoting a nonexistent book and author, and then brought the book into existence. He wrote 23 short stories for Playboy , four times winning their humor of the year award, and also interviewed the Beatles for the magazine. He authored several popular books of humor and satire, created several television series and acted in several plays. He is the model for the character played by Jason Robards in the play and movie A Thousand Clowns , as well as the inspiration for the Shel Silverstein song made famous by Johnny Cash, qA Boy Named Sue.q Readers will learn the significance of innumerable Shepherd words and phrases, such as qExcelsior, you fathead, q and observe his constant confrontations with the America he loved. They will get to know and understand this multitalented genius by peeking behind the wall he built for himself a wall to hide a different and less agreeable persona. Through interviews with his friends, co-workers and creative associates, such as musician David Amram, cartoonist and playwright Jules Feiffer, publisher and broadcaster Paul Krassner, and author Norman Mailer, the book explains a complex and unique genius of our time. qShepherd pretty much invented talk radio ... What I got of him was a wonder at the world one man could create. I am as awed now by his achievement as I was then.q Richard Corliss, Time magazine onlineAlthough one might see this as simply Shepherda#39;s attempt to have the actor put more depth into his portrayal of his father, Fred ... code (aquot;continuous waveaquot; or cw) every night on his ten-watt transmitter, commenting in a broadcast that his ham radio was aquot;the joy, the light of my life.aquot; He said that his boyhood experience in amateur radio helped him get started in his first radio jobs, leading him to high schoolanbsp;...

text:
An accumulator is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells. The term "accumulator" is used as it accumulates and stores energy through a reversible electrochemical reaction.
Der Begriff Arbitrage bezeichnet vereinfacht gesagt das Ausnutzen von Preisunterschieden des gleichen Produkts an unterschiedlichen Handelsplätzen, mit der Absicht schnell und risikoarm Gewinne zu erzielen. In der Praxis bedeutet das, dass ein Händler an der einen Börse ein Produkt preisgünstig einkauft und zeitgleich an der anderen Börse mit höherem Preis veräußert. Solche Geschäfte funktionieren meist nur kurz, da sich durch die Arbitrage die Märkte schnell aneinander anpassen – die Preisdifferenz verschwindet.
In the technical sense of the term, work is the delivery and thus consumption of electrical energy.
The zinc-air battery is a cell that generates voltage through a zinc-oxygen reaction. It is still non-rechargeable at the current state of research. Originally it was used as a coin cell in hearing aids. Today there is some initial research into applications in stationary storage facilities. However, one problem is that this battery type discharges very quickly upon contact with oxygen.
A ZEBRA battery is a rechargeable battery of sodium and nickel chloride cells. It is a high-temperature battery and is used primarily in electric cars and in the defense industry. The abbreviation ZEBRA stands for "Zero Emission Battery Research Activities".
Electrical voltage is an expression of how much energy is transported or released per unit of electrical charge. Voltage is measured in volt (V).
In the technical sense of the term, work is the delivery and thus consumption of electrical energy.
Watt (W) is the unit of power, which is energy per unit of time.
In Germany, electricity is transported via grids at different voltage levels from very high to low voltage. To enable stable grid operation and prevent damage to connected devices, the voltage on each level has to remain within a defined range. It is possible to compensate for fluctuations by providing reactive power, e.g. from batteries.
Volt – abbreviated with the unit symbol V – is the unit for electric current. One Volt means that one Joule of energy is carried per one Coulomb of electrical charge: 1 V = 1 J / C.
Currently the infeed of energy to the grid by multiple small power generation facilities like wind turbines or solar power plants, biogas or combined heat and power stations is still uncoordinated. Better communication and a centralized administration would enable better control of the power output of these many small power stations and their adaptation to the actual energy demand. Such a control center would function like a single large, virtual power station. This would exploit the advantages of the individual stations while compensating for their weaknesses.
Vanadium redox flow batteries have great potential in stationary storage. The have almost no self-drain. This makes them ideally suited for seasonal storage. Because the energy carrier does not age or wear, they have an almost indefinite service life with low maintenance requirements. Depending on need, power and energy can be scaled separately and flexibly.
The transmission grid is the synchronous grid of very high voltage lines for the interregional transmission of electricity from power stations to transformer stations. Its power flow is determined primarily by the power stations. German transmission grids usually operate at 220 kV and 380 kV.
Electricity and gas suppliers pay system usage charges to the grid operators. These charges are passed on to the end user as part of the working price or the base price. Large-scale users – e.g. in industry – pay system usage charges directly to the grid operators. This money is used to pay for frequency regulation, for the compensation of energy loss, the provision and management of reactive power, the maintenance of black start capability, any redispatch measures in the event of bottlenecks, as well as the cost of power lines.
Beyond the transmission and distribution of electricity, every grid operator is obligated to perform system services, also referred to as ancillary services. In particular, these include frequency and voltage control, restoration of supply, and system control.
System control means the monitoring, direction and control of the transmission grid as well as the coordination of commercial power transport between the balance circuits and traders within a regulation zone.
SMES devices store electrical energy magnetically in coils of supraconducting materials. This allows the current to flow without resistance, so that the charge is maintained without any energy loss. SMES have a relatively low energy density, but can have a high power density. However, currently there are almost no practical applications for this technology.
Storage capacity indicates the maximum amount of energy that can be stored and released. Storage capacity is indicated in watt-hours.
Sodium sulfur batteries have a very long service life and are the most advanced stationary electrical storage technology. Batteries of this type are available industrially in the megawatt range and have been used in Japan for 15 years at various sites. Due to their high storage capacity, these high-temperature batteries are a particularly cost-effective means of balancing daily fluctuations in wind and solar power. In the case of rising demand, production could be further industrialized very quickly. The raw materials are not only non-toxic but also globally available.
The secondary reserve is used to compensate for extended frequency deviations within the affected regualtion zone. It takes over from the primary reserve and can be completely activated or deactivated within five minutes. Similar to the primary reserve, the secondary reserve power is requested automatically by the transmission grid operators and supplied from variable output power stations. There are secondary reserves for regulating up and down.
The basic idea behind the seasonal reserve is to have a sufficient supply of solar energy even in winter. The goal is to store large amounts of electricity from renewable sources over long periods of time. It is to be assumed that we will not need such storage facilities before renewable energies reach a share of about 80% of the total production.
Reactive energy is the share of electrical energy that is consumed without being directly usable, e.g. to power a device. It occurs when a device draws reactive power temporarily in order to build up electromagnetic and electrical fields. Reactive energy oscillates back and forth between the supply and the consumer, so to speak. It is indicated in kVArh and occurs only for AC but not for DC.
When a large-scale power failure occurs (blackout), the power supply must be restored starting from the very high voltage level. Smaller regions are reconnected to the grid first and then linked up step by step. The coordinated startup of producers and consumers is a substantial challenge in the restoration of supply. This requires the use of what are known as black start capable generating units.
In Germany, power generation from wind and solar energy cannot always meet the energy demand completely. The difference between demand and the actual supply of renewable energies is called residual load. In the event of an increase in demand that cannot be met by renewable energies, the remainder is provided by power stations with a variable output.
Reserve power describes the power that a power utility provides in addition to the forecast demand of the consumers. In the event of a power supply failure, it guarantees that important electrical devices remain in operation. Of particular importance is, for instance, the emergency power in hospitals, where life support machinery needs to keep running reliably even in the event of a general power failure.
A redispatch is the operators' response to an impending overload of the power grid by adapting the output of their power stations to the load. In practice this means that power stations are ramped up or down as needed.
As opposed to effective current, reactive power or reactive current does not generate usable energy. While effective power is used for instance to drive an electrical motor or to generate heat, the reactive power flowing along with it does not contribute to these applications. This is why it cannot be converted into usable energy for the consumer, but it is needed to generate electromagnetic and electrical fields to enable the effective power to do its job.
PV and wind turbines sometimes supply large amounts of energy very suddenly. Storage facilities can be used to smooth these steep generation gradients, also called "ramps".
A pumped reserve power station uses the surplus energy of other power stations to pump water to a higher level and store it there. When the water is drained again, it drives a generator via a turbine. This enables a quick provision of power in times of peak load. These storage power stations are able to reliably compensate for fluctuations in the power supply from wind and solar energy.
The primary reserve is used for frequency regulation in the European synchronous grid. It is activated automatically whenever the frequency is outside the tolerance range of 49.99 to 50.01 Hz. Activation must be completed within 30 seconds. The four German transmission grid operators buy reserves from various vendors in a weekly, strictly regulated auction. Vendors must be able to supply additional energy at any time in the event of a frequency drop (regulation up) or to remove energy from the grid in the event of over-frequency (regulation down). The payment is exclusively for the continuous provision of the capacity during the relevant week; the market is therefore a capacity market.
Pre-qualification is a qualification test that is performed before entering into market competition. It is for example required for participation in the primary reserve market. Suppliers have to prove, e.g., that the entire agreed primary reserve can be activated smoothly within 30 seconds, with a tolerance for quasi-stationary frequency deviation of no more than ± 200 mHz, and maintained for 15 minutes. The batteries in the Younicos Technology Center have successfully passed this process and have been in the primary reserve market since 2012.
The acronym AC/DC is for alternating current/direct current. Alternating current periodically changes its direction and polarity and is used primarily to supply energy. It is carried in high-voltage lines and supplied to European homes with a frequency of about 50 Hz. With direct current, the amplitude and direction do not change. Batteries are typical sources of direct current.
Ampere – abbreviated with the unit symbol A – is the unit for electric current.
Ampere hour – abbreviated with the unit symbol Ah – is a unit for electrical charge. It describes the amount of electrical charge passing through a conductor in one hour at a constant current and is calculated by multiplying the current with time. If for example a current of 3 A flows for one hour, then the amount of charge is 3 Ah (3 A x 1 h = 3 Ah ). The available charge in a battery is often indicated in ampere hours.
Assured power is the amount of generated power that producers are able to supply with 99% certainty. Assured power can only be maintained for a system of several power stations because any individual station's availability is below 99%. The availability of batteries can be higher than 99% because batteries are modular assemblies of multiple, mutually redundant units..
One way to think of the principle of a battery or rechargeable battery is to picture two water containers connected by a pipe. The containers are placed at different heights, so that water flows from the upper container to the lower, driving a wheel. The electrodes in a battery act like these containers. The flow consists of electrons instead of water, driving not a waterwheel but any electrical device. The higher the difference in height between the containers, the faster the wheel spins.
In the case of a battery, the height is called "voltage," the flow is called "electrical power," and the size of the container is called "capacity." The higher the voltage, the greater the amount of work done by the battery. The more electrons stored in the electrodes, the longer the duration of the electricity supply. Batteries can be divided into two categories: primary batteries and secondary batteries. Secondary batteries are rechargeable.
A power station is black start capable if it is able to start independent of the power grid. This capability is important in the event of a large-scale power failure and generally utilizes energy from batteries or generators. After a collapse of the electrical supply, black start capable power stations help to restart the grid.
In winter 2009, a surplus energy supply caused the prices of electricity to fall below zero for the first time ever. Such an excess supply occurs when, despite low demand, large amounts of renewable energy are fed into the grid while conventional power stations are still running. Due to their lack of flexibility, conventional stations need to keep running at minimum power even when they are not needed as suppliers in the grid. This is because they take a long time to restart after a stop. Frequent starts and shutdowns also increase wear. In addition, power stations often remain on the grid in order to deliver system services.
A nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery is rechargeable and is highly resistant to overload and complete discharge. However, the use of this type of battery has been severely restricted by law because cadmium is a highly toxic heavy metal. Today these batteries are only used in emergency and alarm systems and cordless power tools.
In a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery, an environmentally friendly metal alloy is used as a substitute for cadmium. These batteries are used wherever there is high energy demand but high battery cost must be avoided, for example in home electronics. However, NiMH batteries are sensitive to overcharging, overheating and deep discharge (draining the battery until almost completely exhausted).
Peak shaving is meant to prevent supply bottlenecks and relieve the grid in times when demand is very high. This is done either by having consumers cover their additional power needs by activating generators or storage devices like industrial batteries, or by matching their needs to the supply.
In the energy business, power is the amount of energy generated or consumed within a certain time. Power is given in watt, kilowatt, megawatt, or gigawatt.
Power to gas is a chemical process in which energy from renewable sources is used to generate hydrogen or synthetic natural gas. The first step is to generate hydrogen by electrolysis, followed by methanization, i.e. conversion to methane. This process enables the long-term storage of large amounts of renewable energy for consumption when needed.
Capacitors can store electrical energy without requiring conversion to other forms of energy. They consist of two conducting surfaces – the electrodes – which are set slightly apart, with an insulation layer sandwiched between them. Electrical current causes one of the electrodes to acquire a positive charge, the other a negative. The capacitor stores this charge and is able to release it later. Energy losses are minimal. However, capacitors are only able to store low amounts of energy.
Carbon Capture and Storage or CCS is the separation and underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated during the combustion of fossil fuels. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. With the development of renewable energies, CCS may become unnecessary in the future.
Electricity is generated either centrally in a large power station, such as a nuclear, coal or gas power station, or decentrally by multiple small stations that separately feed their energy into the grid.
A compresed air energy storage (CAES) facility utilizes the energy of compressed air. When there is low energy demand and a surplus of energy from renewable sources, electrically driven pumps compress ambient air to up to 100 bar. If the compression heat is used as well, the storage is described as "adiabatic".
The compressed air is then stored in caverns. In times of high energy demand and low supply from renewable sources, the compressed air can be used to generate power by means of a turbine. Currently there are two CAES plants in the world, one of them in Huntorf, Germany.
For a stable power grid, load and generation need to be balanced. However, errors in load forecasts, failures of power stations, loads, or lines, or volatility in the supply of renewable energies may cause temporary imbalances in the grid. The four German transmission grid operators are required to compensate for such fluctuations by providing short-term control power and stabilize grid frequency at 50.00 Hz. This is done through negative control work in the case of over-frequency (> 50 Hz), or positive control work in the case of under-frequency (< 50 Hz). There are three types of control reserves: primary, secondary, and minute reserves (tertiary reserves).
The amount of electrical charge passing through a conductor per unit of time is called current. Current has the unit ampere (A).
A cycle is a complete charge and discharge of the battery. The full cycle is achieved when an amount of energy equal to the storage capacity of the battery has been transferred. A battery's cycle stability refers to how often the battery can be charged and discharged before its capacity falls below a certain value.
At present, the electrical supply is determined by demand. The idea behind demand site management is to flexibly control both energy demand and energy supply. Wind and solar energy would be used according to availability, significantly reducing the need for conventional power stations run on fossil fuels. Consumers would operate their equipment based on energy availability. However, consumers would need to be continuously informed about the actual supply situation and receive incentives through pricing.
One kilowatt hour – abbreviated as kWh – is the amount of energy consumed in one hour when the power is one kilowatt (1 kW). Prices for electricity and heating are calculated in kilowatt hours.
Consumers are familiar with the kilowatt-hour rate from their electricity bill. It is listed in the bill and indicates the price of one kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity. The kilowatt-hour rate includes all costs of consumption and covers generation, system usage, concession levies, and all taxes and duties.
This term describes the costs that must be covered in order for a power station to operate without losses. If earnings are below marginal cost, losses result. Marginal cost depends on the operating cost of the power station and includes fuel and wear costs, as well as expenses for emissions certificates. This plays an important role in energy trading, because the energy price determined at the exchange always follows the marginal cost of the most expensive station, known as the marginal power station.
The merit order is the activation order of power stations. It is determined by marginal cost, the minimum cost at which a power station is able to produce electricity. Power stations are activated in ascending order of their marginal cost until the demand is met. The last, and thus, most expensive power station determines the current market price of electricity, the market clearing price (MCP). The merit order effect has been observed from the time renewable energies entered the stage. Since no fuels are needed and solar power is basically always available during the daytime, the use of renewable energies means that fewer conventional power stations are needed. This means the price of electricity decreases because it is determined by more cost-effective power stations.
After 15 minutes, the secondary reserve is replaced by the third regulation level, known as the minute reserve or tertiary frequency regulation. It is activated manually upon the request of the grid operator. A distinction is made between buffer energy for regulation up or down. Power stations which can serve as minute reserve include, for instance, black coal, natural gas, combined heat and power, and pumped storage plants.
Conventional power stations are not infinitely flexible. A certain minimum threshold needs to be exceeded in order to even start the required combustion process. This threshold is about 60% of the rated power for brown coal power stations and 50% for black coal power stations. Because power stations must be able to reduce their output, they usually have to run at a capacity higher than this minimum threshold. This so-called must-run energy from fossil fuels must be fed into the grid. This limits the use of all other forms of energy to the difference between the must-run power and the current demand.
Lead batteries are a very common form of energy storage, used mainly as starter batteries in cars, but also domestically. The cell voltage of lead batteries is 2 V. Usually several cells are combined to achieve voltages such as 6 V, 12 V or 24 V. Energy density and service life are much lower than for lithium ion batteries, but the price is much lower as well. These batteries contain highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Lithium ion batteries are particularly suitable for short-term storage with a time window of minutes or hours. Lithium ion batteries are available with ratings from a few kilowatt to several megawatt and can thus be used both in very small and in very large systems. Their especially high energy density allows a compact design, making them suitable for installation in homes as well as in utility grids. They are also ideal as sources of buffer energy to balance temporary fluctuations.
In the energy industry, load refers to the power used by the consumer.
Base load is the continuous consumption in a grid. The base load is covered by continuously operating power stations (base load power stations) that currently still run on nuclear or brown coal fuel. Mean load or peak load occurs when the base load is exceeded due to temporary increases in demand. Black coal power stations are frequently used as mean load power stations to cover additional demand. In times of very high demand, peak load power stations are also brought into the mix. These include pumped storage plants and natural gas power stations. The increasing use of renewable energies in power generation reduces the need for base load power stations. The idea: Wind and solar are used flexibly as needed to cover the energy demand.
Load shedding means that consumers are disconnected from the grid, e.g. during a blackout. The shutdown of individual facilities is also called load shedding. The shutdown is a precaution and occurs automatically when there is a risk of overload and subsequent breakdown of the energy grid.
The discharge time is the length of time over which a storage system releases energy. The various storage systems have different capacities and activation speeds. Short-term storage systems may provide energy within seconds or minutes, but have a low volume. Daily storage systems, on the other hand, need between one and ten hours until they are ready, but have a higher capacity.
The power from the transmission grid is transformed down to the voltage level of regional distribution grids in transformer stations. Distribution grids carry this energy to the individual consumers. The transport in distribution grids is the responsibility of the distribution grid operators, who are also in charge of maintenance. Germany has around 900 distribution grid operators in total. The expansion of decentralized renewables has made the tasks of the distribution grid operators more complex. They have to accept more power from wind and solar and forward it to transmission grid operators for superregional distribution.
Electric mobility is the use of vehicles powered not with fossil fuels but with electricity. The vehicles have a built-in energy storage (rechargeable batteries) that are charged from the electrical grid. In Germany, several programs exist for the subsidy of electrically powered vehicles, since they play a role in the context of renewable energies: If electric vehicles are powered from renewable energy sources or with hydrogen, then they reduce overall CO2 emissions. At the same time, they can serve as "mobile energy storage units" to balance current fluctuations and stabilize the power grid.
Gas can be stored in a variety of ways. A porous storage system is a natural gas reservoir that can be refilled. Cavern storage uses an artificial storage space. Other forms include above-ground storage tanks or storage pipes close to the ground. Germany has 44 natural gas reservoirs with a total capacity of 19.1 billion cubic meters.
A heat storage system absorbs energy as heat, stores it, and releases it on demand. A distinction is made between sensitive, latent, and thermochemical heat storage systems. Sensitive heat storage systems change temperature when charging and discharging, while latent heat storage systems change not their perceptible temperature but their aggregate phase. Thermochemical heat storage systems store heat by means of endothermal chemical reactions and release it by means of exothermal reactions.
The inertia of rotating masses in a running synchronous generator stores kinetic energy. This stored energy is immediately available to stabilize the system in the event of unforeseen frequency fluctuations.
Hydrogen plays an important role in the renewable energy industry: It can be generated through electrolysis and then stored. Afterwards it is possible to convert hydrogen into electricity.
The power grid consists of power lines, switching and transformer stations, and power stations. The purpose of the grid is the production and distribution of electrical energy. In Europe, most consumers are connected to the synchronous grid of Continental Europe (EONTSO-E) that was formed by connecting many smaller grids. It is much easier to compensate for fluctuations in power generation in large grids than in smaller, insular grids.
Current and voltage in the grid take the form of sine waves with a certain frequency. The regulation of this grid frequency is the responsibility of the transmission grid operators. In the Continental European grid the frequency is 50 Hz.
Electrochemical storage converts chemical energy into electrical energy. A substance that donates electrons reacts with a substance that receives electrons. An electrical cell is an electrochemical storage unit. A battery consists of several connected electrical cells. They enable storage and retrieval of energy independent from the grid.
Flywheel storage is a short-term storage method that is characterized by high power but limited energy density. A flywheel is accelerated by an electrical motor to store energy. When it is discharged, usually the same generator that has powered the flywheel is used to generate power from the kinetic energy.
Generators producing electricity in conventional power stations must rotate at precisely 50 revolutions per second. This is the only way to ensure that alternating current has exactly 50 full cycles per second. If consumption increases unexpectedly and exceeds the supply from the power stations, the generators in the power stations decelerate slightly, causing the grid frequency to drop. The same happens when supply suddenly decreases, e.g. due to the unexpected failure of a power station. Vice versa, the grid frequency rises when the supply is higher or the load is lower than expected. Keeping the grid frequency stable requires active corrections. If the grid frequency is too low, additional supply energy or a reduction of the load is required. These measures are known as regulation up. When the grid frequency is too high, the supply must be reduced or the load increased. This is referred to as regulation down.
Energy is power multiplied by time. Power is the amount of current at any given time. Energy describes how much power is provided over how long a time. For illustration, electricity can be compared with water: The size of the water tank defines the amount of energy that can be stored. The diameter of the inlet and outlet defines the maximum power.
Energy is measured in watt-hours, kilowatt hours, or mega or gigawatt hours (Wh, kWh, MWh, GWh). The units are separated by factors of 1,000: 1 GW = 1,000 MW = 1,000.000 kW. Amounts of electrical energy are measured in watt-hours. If a 1 GW coal power station operates at full power for a day, then it produces 24 GWh of energy. Germany uses about 1,600 GWh of energy per day. The average power is therefore about 67 GW, with peak loads at around 80 GW.

Energy storage describes the absorption and storage of energy for later retrieval as needed. There are different storage options for different types of energy – such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, or chemical. Energy is usually retrieved in its original form. It may however be stored as a different type of energy. For example, electrical energy may be stored as mechanical energy and released as electrical energy. This is called energy conversion.

As Marina Abramovic continues to raise funds via Kickstarter to build the new Marina Abramovic Institute (MAI) performance and education center, she also continues to share more and more about the Abramovic Method. Through practice demonstrations with pop artist Lady Gaga, an AMA (ask me anything) on reddit exclusively for Kickstarter donors, and several preview videos released on the Kickstarter page, Abramovic is sharing more about her performance art techniques and motivations than ever before.
In this video, the artist explains an art installation entitled MAI Prototype that was first seen as a part of the Toronto Luminato Festival in June. The seven chamber installation served as a mobile preview of the physical Institute. In an interview for the festival, Abramovic stated that the idea behind MAI Prototype is an exchange between herself and the participants in which she teaches them how to experience performance art: "you give me time, I give you experience." Each chamber holds a different task/lesson of the Abramovic Method, including the Water Drinking Exercise.
Watch the video below to learn more about MAI, the MAI Prototype, and the Kickstarter campaign which ends very soon:

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Tuesday, July 28
Sanofi announced it will pay at least $1.7 billion to collaborate with Regeneron to develop immuno-oncology therapies less than one week after the drugmakers received FDA approval for Praluent, a highly anticipated cholesterol-lowering drug that they jointly developed. Immuno-oncology is considered the "hottest field in drug research" right now, according to The New York Times. Although the companies are testing a PD-1 inhibitor in early clinical trials, they are still considered latecomers to the field. Keytruda and Opdivo, PD-1 inhibitors marketed by Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb, respectively, are already competing for market share.
Merck may pursue hard-to-treat hepatitis-C patients if its experimental treatment, a combination of grazoprevir and elbasvir, is approved rather than compete with Gilead Sciences and AbbVie, the current market leaders, according to Bloomberg Business. This strategy would mean the drugmaker would not have to drastically reduce the price of its drug, which it expects to launch early next year depending on FDA approval.
A study found that nearly 10% of serious adverse events and 40,000 drug reactions causing the death of a patient were not reported by drugmakers to the FDA during the required 15-day window, MedPage Today reported. Some events were reported by pharmaceutical companies 180 days after they occurred. The study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine. A physician who authored the accompanying editorial suggested that the FDA suspend drug sales or withdraw approval to enforce the reporting requirement.
The rapid consolidation under way in the pharmaceutical sector is likely due to investor pressure and an increasingly smaller pool of acquisition targets, according to Fortune. Investors are pressuring companies such as Gilead Sciences and Teva to make acquisitions. Teva's proposal on Monday to buy Allergan's generic drugs business for $40.5 billion in cash and stock led to a 17% increase in share price.
Even as insurers and pharmacy benefit managers fret about the $14,600 price per year for Praluent, a newly approved cholesterol-lowering drug, some patients told The New York Times that the drug may save them time and money. Todd DeRuchie, who has heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes extremely high cholesterol, already pays $8,000 a month through his insurer for his treatment, which includes sitting for hours in a clinic to cleanse his blood of LDL cholesterol every two weeks.

Be successful, but never forget the weak: FC Bayern is committed to this ideal of the "reputable businessman".
Treating one another fairly, respect for opponents, tolerance, integration and fair play even in defeat.
There can hardly be another club in the world with so many former players still actively involved as FC Bayern
Awareness of your strengths, believing in yourself, are the qualities of mia san mia of an FC Bayern team.
Posters of FC Bayern stars decorate the walls of countless kids' bedrooms.
Even in the earliest years, new ideas were always welcome at FC Bayern.
"Our expenditure is based on income – we only spend what we've already earned," says president Karl Hopfner.
Fairness, reliability and trust are highly valued at FC Bayern.
FC Bayern is a company, but in the first instance it is a club with the membership at its core.

My dads GBM stage 4 brain cancer? New !!
A: Dear Tammy, One of the reasons he is only have a BM every 3-4 days is because he is not eating enough or active enough to really cause him to have to have a BM.... Also, MILK can cause constipation and he needs FIBER in his diet like cereal, oats, bread etc to stimulate his intestines.... I think that you also need to call the doctor regarding his seizures and tell the doctor of the nurse about the seizure last night and the way he looked and felt after the seizure ended... Since they are not frequent, this may be why the doctor has not increased his Dilantin, but the doctor needs to know this information to make a decision about increasing this medication... As for the other symptoms like loss of apetite, sleeping more, less active,...

Glioblastoma stage 4 brain cancer/ astrocytoma
A: My sister-in-law was diagnosed with a stage 3 anaplastic astrocytoma on January 8, 2007.Was just wondering if you got any replies on your thread. Also wondering how your mother is doing. Hope all is well Hello... Thank you for responding, no I did not receive any replies. My Mom passed away on 12/15/2006. The worst day of my life. My Mom went through radiation, and chemo twice.

She was able to stay home until she lost her Memory in July, then she was in the hospital for awhile, then eventually in a nursing home. She regained her memory for a very brief time in July, but then by August, she lost it again. She did not know who any of her family was. By November,...
mom has stage 4 brain cancer given 6 months to live what do I look for?
A: Im really sorry to hear about your mom. Modern medicine does not really have much available for people with advanced diseases. I would suggest looking into alternative therapies and diet therapy. These arent the most well studied treatments but complementary medicine is showing ways of doing things that modern medicine is not able to do. Here are some sites to get you looking into alternative therapies for cancer. Good luck. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Therapy... http://www.cancercenter.com/complementary-alternativ......

A: This is a terminal illness unfortunately.....there is not really any chance of her living a long life.......Sorry Quite low, unfortunately. stage 4 is terminal. They may consider doing chemo or radiation not to cure, but for palliation of symptoms. They may get Hospice involved to keep your mom comfortable during whatever time she may have left. I have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods. Eventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html By reading...
My mom has stage 4 lung cancer what is her chances of survival?
A: My mum also has stage 4 lung cancer. We found this out approximately 3 months ago. She has undergone about 30 radiation therapy treatments and chemotherapy all in the last 6 or so weeks. We were told by the oncologist and the radiotherapist that just because it is a stage 4 due to the size of the tumour, they were hopeful of actually curing it. It hadn''t spread anywhere else in the body so for that we were thankful. Now after all her treatment she is doing really well, we do have to wait about 5 weeks for another scan to see how much the tumour has shrunk but going by what the doctors have said, things are looking good. We are very optimistic and know it is gonna be...

If you are new to Kiting or thinking of Kiting, than this post is for you. It might just save your life and help keep the sport clean and free of danger. I thought about putting this in the safety forum, but then chances are if you are new or a beginner, than you aren't looking there anyway. This isn't a lecture or a soapbox moment, but more of a plea for those of you not to almost make the same mistake I was about to.
Like you, I got hooked on this awesome sport not long ago over a trip to the Florida beaches. I saw it from a distance and instantly gravitated towards it. Upon returning home, I sought out the local Kite community and found all the online resources (like this forum).
Having been a collegiate skier and a water lover my entire life, I felt this would be right up my alley. I've been on boards, skis, and skateboards since I was a boy.
Upon entering the online kite world I was immediately turned off by all the comments and people insisting that "you just had to have lessons". Lessons I thought? I bought the $20 video like some of you are thiking of doing, spent a few hundred bucks on Amazon and bought a trainer kite then proceeded to learn to fly in my local park. 20 hours or so into my trainer kite..I had it right! A life of wake boarding and a summer of trainer kite flying and certainly this was doable.
Chalk it up to being older (I'm 39 now), but I decided to take a lesson anyway. 14 hours later and a $1000 in lessons, and I'm just now "thinking" I might be ready for some solo time on the right day/conditions, with the right equipment. I'm simply amazed at the learning curve to doing this "right" (key word). It's not about knowing what to do when things are great, but when things go wrong. These kites and lines are deadly not only to you but everyone around you.
Trust me....spending a few hours and some money with the right instructor/school willing to take you from A to Z, offer boat support, and help build confidence....is worth every bit of time. Not only will you probably progress faster, but your fellow kiters will respect you for it. There is no shame in being that one guy out there taking a lesson.
Do the right thing.
