Press Review on the Global Systemic Crisis
|The unbearable lightness of QE in summer 2012 - the US, British and Japanese central banks out of the game (Excerpt)
|The American, British (1) and Japanese central banks can only come to the conclusion that their massive liquidity injections haven't created any growth. And that they cost their countries' real economy increasingly dearly. In the United States, it's nearing an additional $3 of debt to generate $1 of growth (2). Japan has stagnated for twenty years despite the overdoses of financial stimuli:and the Bank of England is under fire from increasing criticism for its inability to prevent the United Kingdom from falling back into recession despite its serial QE (3)...

|"I don't think I can find a job in the United States easily because of my visa status and the competitive job market," says Wei, who asks that his last name and school not be identified, as do the other students interviewed for this article. "But back in China, I have nowhere to go either. No one has ever heard of my college – it doesn't even sound like a university. How can I even get an interview?"...

|Abe can expect little sympathy from nominal allies during Okinawa visit
|When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visits Okinawa for a meeting Saturday with Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima and other local politicians, he'll be sitting down mostly with fellow Liberal Democratic Party members or those who won with LDP support. Unfortunately for Abe, they all strongly oppose the relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma to Henoko in the northern part of the main island, a policy dear to the prime minister and the mainstream of his party...

|Recommendations of a leading US think-tank to mark President Barack Obama's second inauguration inadvertently exposed the archaic nature of most American foreign policy discourse regarding China's rise.

Chapter 588 - "One-Third Game"
Neither team scored in the second inning. Then in the third inning, Toshiya managed to bring two runners home, extending Japan's lead to 5 - 0.
From his hospital bed, Gibson watches as the TV broadcaster announcing USA switching to a third pitcher. When a nurse came by to take Gibson's temperature, she found him missing.
Mayumura managed to strike out USA's top rotation in the bottom third inning, while Gibson called a taxi to get to the Detco Park.
Chapter 589 - "The Absent Pillar"
Mayumura pitched a no-hit 4th inning. Noro commented that Mayumura's shuuto is especially effective against American right-batters.
The USA team moral is pretty low, due to the 5 - 0 lead that Japan has. Manager Haring thinks they could really use some moral support, but unfortunately Gibson's not there.
As Alex was ranting to himself in the bathroom about the Gibsons, he ran into Gibson. Just then, two people had orders from the doctor to bring Gibson back to the hospital, revealing that they knew about Gibson's heart disease. Gibson told the two people not to worry, that he just wanted to be at the side of his comrades, who are giving their all for the pride of their country. Gibson just wanted to cheer his comrades on.
Alex was stunned by the resolve and the serious attitude Gibson has towards baseball, and his eyes burned with a new resolve.

'Teen Mom 2' Star Jo Rivera's Girlfriend Vee Torres Pregnant — Congrats
A baby is on the way for 'Teen Mom 2' couple Jo Rivera and Vee Torres, according to a new report! We are so happy for the couple.
Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry's ex-boyfriend, Jo Rivera, 22, is reportedly becoming a father for the second time. The aspiring rapper and his girlfriend, Vee Torres, are going to give Jo's son, Isaac Rivera, 5, a sibling! Congratulations are in order!
Jo Rivera's Girlfriend Pregnant: Vee Torres On 'Teen Mom 2'
So, how will Kailyn, who has a second son, Lincoln Marroquin, 1, with her husband of two years, Javi Marroquin, 22, react to this baby news?
"I don't know if they told Kailyn yet," an insider tells Radar Online, claiming that her ex, Jo, and his live-in girlfriend are expecting. "Vee wanted to put the news on social media, but Jo asked her to wait so that they could finish telling their family and friends first."
Well, clearly the cat is out of the bag now!
Plus, Kailyn really seemed to be back on great terms with her infamous ex and even Vee, so maybe she could even offer advice to the expectant mom? Vee is reportedly 7 to 8 weeks pregnant, and if Teen Mom 2 is filming right now than we're sure to see more of her on the new season!
Amber Portwood Is Engaged — See Her Ring
But, loyal Teen Mom fans aren't just excited for this baby news!
As we previously reported, Amber Portwood, 24, is going to say "I do" to Matt Baier! Although it was such a tease to watch a preview of Matt's proposal in an emotional new trailer for Teen Mom OG, fortunately we now know that Amber said yes to Matt and the gorgeous ring he presented her with!
"We are very happy. I've never felt this way about somebody else in my life," she revealed to MTV News on March 2. Aw, we are so happy for you, Amber!
We have a feeling that her daughter, Leah Shirley, is going to be the cutest flower girl EVER.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Vee and Amber's big news? Let us know!

This is the blog of John Siebelink, blogger and aspiring science fiction writer. John is a contributing blogger for the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and has written entries for that magazine since early 2014.
John Siebelink (pronounced SEE-BUH-LINK) got into blogging after being introduced to the blog of science fiction author John Scalzi, whose personal blog Whatever had great impact over Siebelink's writing. Scalzi writes about whatever he feels like writing about at any given time. John Siebelink intends to go one step more and write about…anything.
Ok, enough talking in the third-person. I had to do enough of that at boot camp. (Yes, I served in the Marine Corps. Semper fi, everyone!) Basically, I want to step outside of my comfort zone and try writing about things I would not normally write about. For instance, politics and religion. Those are the two most infamous conversation topics, and ones I hardly feel comfortable thinking about, let alone writing about. With this blog, however, I plan on writing entries on both of these subjects. As a science fiction fan I could spend days writing about my favorite movies or books (which I do all the time for Amazing Stories) or on the latest gossip or news or anything else geeky I might be urged to pencil about.
My main goal, however, is to work on becoming a better writer. I learned, from Scalzi no less, that a great way to do this to to go outside the boundaries of what I would normally write (or read) about and try new things.
This blog is my attempt to do just that.

1.) A solar-powered plane is preparing to fly around the world for the first time ever:
"The world's most advanced solar plane, the Solar Impulse 2, was unveiled in Payerne, Switzerland, today. The plane, which has been in development for 10 years, is the successor to a solar plane that flew across the U.S. last summer. The plan is for Solar Impulse 2 to fly around the world next year using nothing but sunlight for power — the first solar-powered plane to accomplish that feat." - Discover Magazine on the Solar Impulse 2
2.) Scientists are using solar power to manufacture more solar panels:
"Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered a way to tap the sun not only as a source of power, but also to directly produce the solar energy materials that make this possible." - Daily Fusion on Oregon State scientists who are manufacturing a way to build solar panels with solar energy
3.) The cost of solar energy is now equal to that of fossil fuels:
"Exhibit 2 is the chart the solar industry has been working towards for 60 years. Solar is now – in the right conditions – cheaper than oil and Asian LNG on an MMBTU basis. Yes, we are using utility- scale solar costs in developing markets with lots of sun. But that describes the growth markets for global energy today. For these markets solar is just cheap, clean, convenient, reliable energy." - Business Insider writing about a major accomplishment in solar parity

Nothing like getting back into the swing of things. The time away was great....but now reality has taken hold of me, and I must come down from my high....
This week is FILLED with appointments. Our first one was to the Ear, Nose and Throat Doc., for Bailey. A few months ago, she had quite an ear infection, that ended up busting her ear drum. *ouch* Poor girl! We had to see a specialist, because it was not healing very well.
While in the waiting room, I noticed an older woman, sitting by herself, next to the window. I didn't stare, but I did notice some bumps, along her neck and down her arms. She was wearing long sleeves, that were pushed up to her elbows. Her eyes were dark, and sunk in a bit. Her mouth was drawn and tight. She looked worn and tired. I saw "NF" all over her....even though what was visual, was just a few bumps.
I casually made my way over to her, by placing a magazine on the table that was next to where she was sitting. We made eye contact and smiled at each other. It was an instant connection. She made a comment about the girls, and how good they were being (even tho they were running the walls and driving me bananas) She asked the ages, and was shocked to hear I had two more kids at home. :)
Several minutes of light hearted conversation went by....in my head were spinning thoughts about how I could mention NF, without making her feel bad. I didn't want her to think that her NF was very noticeable, because it honestly wasn't. I only saw, what I see on me. NFers can almost "sniff it out"...LOL
So, I just said it, I asked if she knew about NF. The look on her face was that of shock. She smiled and told me "YES!" A few years ago I never EVER would have acknowledged NF in myself, let alone, asked about it in another person.
She was a delightful woman, and we exchanged e-mail addresses. I shook her hand and told her that she was a beautiful woman....that the only reason I saw her NF, was because I had it too. It seems she felt the world get a little bit smaller.
It's hard going through life, with a disease (God I hate that word...makes it sound like I'm infected with the plague) that no one knows about, and few deal with.. on a personal basis. So, I am making a point to go outside my little BOX...anytime I see an opportunity.........THE TURN AROUND TUESDAY....is doing something you wouldn't normally do. Go above and beyond the call of duty, and surprise yourself.....you may just make a new friend...or leave quite the impression on someone.

Chicago-based Invenergy LLC has purchased the La Jacinta solar farm in Uruguay from project developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures. The La Jacinta facility began operation in October 2015, and it has an installed capacity of 64 MW of power from 216,000 solar panels manufactured by BYD.
"We're very pleased to close on the La Jacinta solar farm, as it advances and strengthens Invenergy's commitment to Latin America and, particularly, to Uruguay," says Matthew Olive, Invenergy's vice president of development and origination in international markets. "Uruguay is a global leader in renewables, with more than 90 percent of their electricity generated by renewable energy. We are excited to add to our presence in Uruguay, as we also expect to initiate commercial operations in the coming weeks of Invenergy's nearby 70 MW Campo Palomas Wind Farm."
According to Invenergy, the La Jacinta solar farm supports eight full-time jobs and generates, on average, more than $1 million annually in the form of taxes and leasing payments for the local community.

My mom is gone
Some of you may remember my post about my mom here
She passed away on Feb 27 with my dad, me and my brother by her side. She went peacefully and quickly. She had a leaky heart valve, and aspirated pneumonia. Once she was removed from the ventilator (that was hooked to her tracheotomy) she passed 20 min later. She had no pain…. we talked to her, held her hand, kissed her and loved her until the end.
Sad time, but there's relief in knowing she is at peace now.

The Anglistenchor was founded at the Department of English Language and Literature at Ruperto Carola University Heidelberg in 1990. Its repertoire draws from the rich variety of English choral music and comprises works from renaissance up to pieces by contemporary composers. The choir usually performs on several occasions each term, presenting a varied, demanding and rewarding programme of English, American and Irish music. It can be heard at various academic festivities, in particular by the English Department, of course. The choir currently consists of around 25 choristers from the Rhine-Neckar region, mostly, but not exclusively students.
Led by musical director Clayton Bowman, the choir evolved into a highly respected chamber choir from 2006 to 2015. In August 2010, the choir performed at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland, among others, on its first trip abroad. Other trips led it to Budapest and Strasbourg. Besides the regular term concerts which were reviewed enthusiastically the choir joined in the festivities for the 625th anniversary of Heidelberg University and for three years opened the "International Festival Silent Movies and Live Music" at the dai Heidelberg, each time with a piece specifically composed for these events by our former accompanist Jan Wilke and our director Clayton Bowman. Highly acclaimed performances include Händel's "Messiah" along with the Karlsruher Barockorchester in December 2015 and our first scenic performance of an opera with Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" in February 2012. Irish composer Kian Geiselbrechtinger created a new prologue (the score for the original prologue is missing) which was premiered by us. Another impressive performance was the production "Choir and Brass" with pieces by Hindemith, Rutter, Holst and Copland.
The Anglistenchor was awarded the "Ehrenpreis der Gesellschaft der Freunde der Universität Heidelberg" in 2012. The prize money enabled us to record our first CD which is available at our concerts as well as at the Unishop (Studentenkarzer near Uniplatz). Since January 2016, Jan Wilke is musical director of the Anglistenchor.
Jan Wilke studied school music and musical theory at the Mannheim Conservatory as well as church music and choir conducting at the academy of church music Heidelberg and passed with distinction in choir conducting and organ playing. Besides his studies he conducted several church choirs and Gesangsvereine as well as the Altrip chamber choir and acted as an assistant to Wolfgang Seeliger for the Konzertchor Darmstadt. From 2013 to 2014 he did a master in choral conducting with Simon Halsey at the University of Birmingham which he also concluded with distinction. He was an active participant in master classes with Simon Carrington, Daniel Reuss, Morten-Schuldt Jensen as well as the international master class of the Rundfunkchor Berlin with Simon Halsey and Grete Pedersen. Jan Wilke is also musical director of the Friedrich-Spee-Chor Trier, an oratory choir rich in tradition, with which he develops both the repertoire of choral symphonies and demanding a cappella programmes. He is also an active composer, mostly of choral pieces, and has received several prizes at national and international composition contests, among them the first prize at the "Gebt uns Noten!" competition of the Deutsche Chorverband and the "Knapp Award for Choral Excellence" of the "Meistersingers" Choir in California. His pieces have been performed in Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Armenia, Portugal, Austria and the United States. Some of his pieces have been published by Helbling-Verlag.

At night you can see the lights twinkling on the Costa del Sol coast line. The pool is surrounded by a large sun bathing terrace with the most stunning views. Sun beds and parasols are provided. The very pretty historic white village has narrow winding streets,old bull ring, museum and a plethora of churches including a lovely white church nestled on the hills above Mijas a 20 minute walk away.Take a donkey or horse and carriage ride and explore the sights.

Free WIFI and secure parking.
1. Fantastic location, stunning views will recommend to all our friends.
2. Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful apartment, superbly appointed and very quiet.
3. Relaxing time spent on the pool terrace with the most glorious views, good local restaurants but not suitable for young children. Plus side only 20 minutes from airport.
4. We could not believe the view from the terrace, it was absolutely magnificent. Thank you, I will certainly be recommending your apartment to friends.
5. We could not believe how quiet and friendly the complex was, it was like having a private villa all to ourselves, will book next year.
This is a really lovely spacious penthouse apartment for 2 people. It is clean and had everything we needed. The terrace with it's amazing mountain and sea views, not to mention the weather, made our week in mijas pueblo. I have stayed in this apartment block a few times now, it is just a short stroll from the centre of the village with an abundance of fabulous restaurants and bars very nearby. However every evening we looked forward to getting back to sit on the terrace and watch fuengirolla come alive at night. Would return to this apartment again and again.
This is the perfect apartment for both chilling out and exploring the region. Whether you're looking for a room with a view and a great pool to laze beside, or a base to visit Malaga, Marbella, Peurto Banus and a host of other interesting towns on the coast and inland, this is definitely the place for you.
Mijas has a fantastic choice of restaurants catering for a range of tastes and there are plenty of shops to either browse or buy.
There is a good bus service into Feungirola where you can get on the train to the old City of Malaga. Alternatively hire a car and explore the coast and some of the fascinating inland towns such as Coin, Alhaurin el Grande and Ojen.
The apartment itself has all the modern amenities you need to make your stay a memorable one. And the view from the balcony really is as spectacular as the picture suggests.
We'll be back.
This property provides a stunning location with all the modern amenities you could wish for.
Whether you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday with the opportunity to laze around the pool and sample the great range of local restaurants, or to hire a car and use Mijas as a base to explore the local region - you really couldn't ask for anything better.
The views from the balcony are even more stunning than the picture suggests.
Will definitely be back in the future.
We booked this apartment based upon the view from the balcony, it didn't let us down. The views alone were worth every penny.
On arrival we found the apartment to be clean, tidy and very well equipped, it also made a lovely change to find a holiday apartment with a large comfortable double bed instead of the usual singles and to top it all, we were able to watch a couple of football matches on the T.V. which made a pleasant surprise.
The apartment is ideally located, within just a few minutes walk to the main square with an abundance of bars and restaurant to choose from. The only downside we could find with the apartment was the number of stairs you needed to climb when returning to the apartment from the pool, although this didn't affect us, it may affect somebody with walking difficulties.
We would definitely recommend this apartment to anybody wishing to stay in Mijas so much so (subject to availability) we will definitely return next year.
Great clean well equipped penthouse with far reaching views from lounge terrace towards the coast. Car parking a much needed bonus in a lovely Spanish area. Our first visit to Mijas and will certainly return soon, we can recommend the complex and the town for a very enjoyable holiday.
This was our 4th visit to Mijas and the first to this apartment, we were certainly not disappointed as it exceeded our expectations and some more, as it was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. As others have said, the terrace and panoramic views are outstanding, we practically lived on the terrace. The location is excellent just a few minutes to the restaurants and bars, but we loved the "old village" feel as we walked back down the cobbled street which had a little shop which was part of someone's house which opened in the mornings and was so handy for water milk etc. To sum up, would we recommend this apartment.........most definitely, and would we return, again .......most definitely
Special interest holidays:
Mijas Pueblo is situated on the slopes of the Sierra Mijas which are covered in flora, with fabulous views and glorious walks.

This banana bread recipe is easily the best one I have tried, and to make it even better I always add a few chocolate chips. Obviously not as healthy, but it does really improve my mood everytime I bite into one of these banana bread slices.
- 2 c flour
- 1 t baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 150g butter, melted
- ¾ c brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten

Kristen Chenowith's new hour-long dramedy has gone through plenty of name changes, before settling on making its own acronym with "GCB." Based on the book "Good Christian B*****s," there was no way ABC was ever going to call it that. Chenowith helped Chelsea Handler understand the show's title on "Chelsea Lately" (Weeknights, 11 p.m. EST on E!).
"What does 'GCB' stand for, because it's confusing for that to be on ABC?" Handler asked. "It's like, How many letters do I have to remember?"
Chenoweth cited the book, assuring the audiences they didn't stick with that name, even for what the acronym stands for. "It's called 'GCB' or 'Good Christian Belles,'" she explained. "but it's like 'GCB,' They like the roll of the tongue." Either that, or they were hesitant about using the word "Christian" in the show title as well as "B*****s."
No matter what it's called, ABC hopes soap fans will tune in when "GCB" premieres Sunday, March 4 at 10 p.m. EST. "Chelsea Lately" airs weeknights at 11 p.m. EST on E!

That newcomer, brown streak, is now ravaging cassava crops in a great swath around Lake Victoria, threatening millions of East Africans who grow the tuber as their staple food.
Although it has been seen on coastal farms for 70 years, a mutant version emerged in Africas interior in 2004, and there has been explosive, pandemic-style spread since then, said Claude M. Fauquet, director of cassava research at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis. The speed is just unprecedented, and the farmers are really desperate.
It is already being compared to the potato blight and resulting famine that struck Europe in the 1840s. According to the article, even livestock will not eat the infected cassava.

RYE BROOK, N.Y. – William Stark will retire as superintendent of Blind Brook schools at the end of June and then resume the position three days later in a move that allows him to collect his pension.
New York State law allows employees to retire and collect their pension, and then resume working as long as they take at least one day off. Stark will collect a pension of approximately $200,000, which is 79 percent of his average salary over the last three years. He has been hired for a four-year term beginning July 3, with a salary of $258,734 for the first year.
Stark has served as superintendent since 2008. Board of Education President Glen Schuster said that in that time he has "exceeded expectations" on evaluations, and often taken a salary lower than that of area superintendents.
"In addition, the school district is saving close to $50,000 next year alone, mostly as a result of the district no longer having to pay into the New York state pension system for Stark. In the era of the 2 percent tax levy cap, and unfunded state mandates, the district is looking to save funds for directly serving our students," Schuster said.
Schuster added that the move will allow the district to retain a technology educator who would have been laid off. "Blind Brook residents pay simply Stark's salary, as the State of New York pays his pension, from monies that have been collected for 40-plus years."
Board of Education member Jeffrey Diamond took issue with the move when the board voted on it last week.
"This resolution is designed to take advantage of a loophole in New York State law. Our superintendent is not retiring," he said. "What we're doing here is we're shifting the cost of a six-digit pension off onto the taxpayers of New York State."

CEA, Inc. was cofounded in 1985 in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts by Steven M. Migridichian, C.P.G., P.G.; a young petroleum geophysicist who offered environmental consulting and remediation services with only a handful of employees and resources initially to the retail petroleum market. The firm has expanded over the years to meet increasing customer demands and geographic service areas within a business climate of ever changing environmental regulations. In 1993, CEA established a soil boring, probing, and drilling division, Drilex Environmental Inc. (Drilex), which specialized in all phases of drilling using cutting-edge equipment technologies. In 1996, CEA relocated its growing operations to the Hartwell Business Park in West Boylston, Massachusetts (a former Brownfields site) where it is still headquartered today.
In 2000, CEA, Inc. expanded its environmental consulting operation with the addition of senior principals Adam J. Last, P.E., LSP and Scott E. VanderSea, LSP, LEP. Mr. Last and Mr. VanderSea broadened CEA, Inc.'s depth of knowledge and experience, further propelling its technical capabilities and success. Currently Mr. Last and Mr. VanderSea serve as Regional Managers directing and overseeing all technical and operational aspects of our client services delivery. Also in 2000, CEA, Inc. added construction capabilities to CEA's growing list of field and support services.
In 2006, Deborah N. Migridichian, former Controller and Chief Financial Operator (CFO) of the firm since 1988, was elevated to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/President. Shortly thereafter in 2009, CEA, Inc. became certified as a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office. CEA, Inc. also became certified by the Woman's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) in 2009.
In 2016, CEA, Inc. was acquired by Joseph S. Campisi of Campisi Environmental Associates and began doing business as Corporate Environmental Advisors (CEA). Prior to Mr. Campisi taking ownership of CEA, Steven and Deborah Migridichian sold Drilex to Mr. Brad Brock, the former manager of Drilex, and also relinquished the remedial construction and environmental contracting portion of the firm in order focus the firm more closely on the environmental consulting aspects of the industry. CEA has continued to retain a close working relationship with Drilex since the recent changes.
Under the leadership of Mr. Campisi, CEA is now focusing its efforts on providing not only traditional environmental consulting, engineering and remediation services, but also an expanded array of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) services. Over the years, Mr. Campisi has cultivated a large network of EHS experts across the U.S. whom CEA intends to call upon periodically to support our ever expanding base of EHS clients and projects throughout New England.
In its almost 30 year history, CEA has made a conscious decision to invest in people, technology, management, and project tracking systems in order to outperform the competition when it comes to environmental consulting, especially, site characterization, risk assessment, remediation services and permanent site closure
Today CEA is one of New England's most established, reliable and responsive locally-owned and operated full service environmental consulting firms. With the addition of branch offices in Colchester, Connecticut and Concord, New Hampshire, CEA is able to be highly responsive to all clients located throughout the New England States and New York.

Savings Guide
Standby power controllers are free but 'flawed'
The following article: Standby power controllers are free but 'flawed' was recently published in The Age, a Victorian newspaper. In our opinion, the article should be an eye-opener for other States considering similar energy-saving schemes, and maybe the Federal Government too, should they should decide to create a similar national scheme.
The main problem consumers seem to have with these high-tech standby power controllers (SPCs) is that the technology is predicated on a master/slave relationship between the controlling appliance and the controlled appliances. However, particularly in an IT environment where a PC is the master, this is simply not how consumers use their peripheral appliances. Instead, most households have a 'home office' hub with a multitude of devices including printers, modems, wireless routers, speakers and scanners. This hub does not reflect true master/slave behaviour, as the connected devices are not necessarily dependant on the PC for their function. It is entirely plausible that someone will want to use the printer or router, without any need for the PC. However the 'solution' offered by the SPC is to boot up the computer (and all the other peripherals by default) simply to use the standalone copy function of the printer.
A similar example can be seen in the TV environment (where a genuine master/slave relationship may exist). Consumer dissatisfaction often occurs because the TV automatically switches off without the consumer's control (e.g. when listening to but not viewing the TV). Similarly, the master/slave arrangement means you can't record overnight on Foxtel when the TV (as the master device) is switched off. Of course, human nature dictates that consumers simply remove the Foxtel box from the master/slave powerboard and instead plug it into an entirely separate circuit – now remaining on standby 24/7. We call this the master/slave powerboard paradox.
Further undermining the value of an otherwise good scheme is when consumers remove an individual (slave) appliance from the SPC but keep the SPC otherwise installed. Not only do these SPCs use standby power 24/7 themselves, but this appliance (which is surely now plugged directly into the power-point using standby power as it was pre-SPC) has already been allocated a carbon credit, despite the fact that no savings will be generated. Therefore this particular problem is additional to the 17% for just the "disabled" SPCs mentioned in the article.
In summary, the article raises a number of interesting points that require consideration before mistakes are replicated. Instead of relying on yet more high-tech gadgets to be our salvation, maybe it's time for us all to take back individual control and responsibility, and switch things off for ourselves?

The compositions and shots of a NY travel photographer are a great option for those seeking to update their decor. Shots that showcase beautiful places from around the world can allow you to make the most of your wall space.

Artists whose work can allow you to enjoy unique landscapes and far away places may have much to offer.

Prints and reproductions that are almost indistinguishable from original work can offer a cost effective way to redecorate your home or office.

Original work can make for more than just an eye catching addition to your decor and surroundings. Artwork that will appreciate in value can make for a very rewarding investment. Owning a few pieces or assembling a larger collection may provide serious enthusiasts and collectors with many benefits.
Learning more about the most popular photographers, the most exciting work and shots or outlets that may allow you to purchase original photos or affordable reproductions can be an important undertaking.

As promised a while ago, I've perused the latest Sarob Press release - a collection of two novellas and four short stories by the veteran writing partnership of Len Maynard and Mick Sims. While there's nothing new about such teamwork, especially in the field of ghostly/horror fiction, it is quite unusual nowadays.
The first novella, 'Double Act', explores what can be one of the murkiest facets of showbiz - the comedy partnership. In the standard double act there's a clown and a straight man, though the conventions are sometimes flipped around - Morecambe and Wise famously took Abbott and Costello's approach and reversed it,with the tall, apparently 'serious' one becoming the clown. In 'Double Act' the straight man - who is also the duo's writer - dies, leaving the clown (a penurious compulsive gambler) with an uncertain future. Things become even more tricky when it emerges that someone, or Some Thing, is killing people linked to the now-defunct duo of Coker and Hass. Is it the ghost of Charlie Hass, or something altogether stranger?
As a novella 'Double Act' works rather well, especially in evoking the spirit of old-style music hall entertainers. Internal evidence (Eric Sykes and Galton and Simpson are up-and-coming writers) places the story in the mid-Fifties. If I have one reservation it's that some of the characters are rather wooden, and I did wonder why there was no reference to the threat from television, which would soon put paid to a lot of live entertainment. But these are minor quibbles. The plot is well-constructed and the finale, following a series of revelations about Charlie Hass' private life, is effective.
The first of the short stories, 'Serenity', is altogether different in feel. A rather ineffectual man, Jona Lewis, takes early retirement and finds himself at a bit of a loose end. Then he bumps into an old friend who invites him for a stay in the country. This a very traditional opening, of course, but it leads to a far from conventional denouement. This reader was certainly foxed but also satisfied by a conclusion that shuns shocks in favour of a strange, but oddly moving, revelation.
Different again is 'Jealousy', in which the authors return to showbusiness, but this time in a modern tale of black magic. Reading it, I was reminded of the Brian Clemens' series Thriller, which screened in the early Seventies. Like the best of those dramas, 'Jealousy' proceeds from the mundane to the truly weird via a series of carefully calculated incidents. The finale, which takes place in St Paul's Cathedral, has a distinctly cinematic feel.
'Assignment' is part of a series of stories about Department 18, a kind of government dirty tricks outfit dedicated to the occult and/or paranormal. Perhaps because I've never read any of the early Department 18 tales I found this one tougher going than the others. But it is quite effective, not least in its description of a demonic entity that recalls the visitants encountered by some of M.R. James' protagonists.
The second novella, 'Flame', is a rather exotic 'wide screen' story of a tribe of long-lived Japanese witch-beings who have the enviable ability to steal talent from ordinary mortals. The Tashkai, as they're called (and I haven't Googled to find out if they are a 'real legend' or not) certainly make a change from vampires. Again, we're in English country house horror territory, which gives 'Flame' a slightly old-fashioned feel. That's not by any means a bad thing, though, and the Tashkai's method of extracting talent from and then silencing their victims is certainly memorable.
Overall, this is another classy production from Sarob, and comes (of course) with top-notch cover and internal artwork by Paul Lowe.

Short Review - Flame & Other Enigmatic Tales

I don't know whether the Tashkai arise from real folklore, but they do appear in an earlier M&S story, "Moths", which many people rank among their best.

Thanks for that information! Hard to check on Japanese folklore, because a. I don't know any Japanese and b. there are so many mythical entities, almost anything is possible.

A Quick Guide to Online Dating
When online dating sites were initially introduced to the dating scene, they were greeted with hesitancy and mockery. Many singles initially viewed internet dating as a tool for social misfits and other outcasts who have trouble meeting other singles in typical fashion. Today, however, the internet is inundated with sites offering up any type of relationship you're seeking. Whether you're looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with or just a warm body for the night, there is a dating site tailor-made to meet your wants.
Find Your Perfect Match
Though dating should be fun, it can seem like a chore for some, particularly when searching for a suitable, long-term companion. While many people still meet their future spouses during college, most people in their 20s and 30s are still on the prowl. Unlike previous generations, young adults don't feel pressure to find a job and start a family as soon as they graduate from college, giving them the opportunity to explore themselves and the world. This also makes it more difficult for those who wish to settle down when they are ready. The emergence of online dating sites, however, makes meeting "the one" as simple as filling out a profile and answering a few questions. While there are sites for just about every type of dater and deal with a variety of fetishes, many require their members to go through lengthy subscription processes and some can be quite costly. For those who don't mind shelling out money to meet their mate, sites like Match.com offer a range of packages with subscriptions lasting up to a year. If you're on the fence about spending money on a paid membership to one of these sites, try a trial membership or explore some of the free sites first to test out the waters. Besides trying to help members find their ideal partner through matching, these sites also offer tools designed to enhance their dating skills. Whether you're trying to decide what M&S dress to wear on a first date or when you should sleep with that special someone you've been seeing, most subscription-based dating sites provide their members with an array of dating tips and advice.
Specialty Dating Sites
Because you can find pretty much anything on the internet today, you have plenty of options when it comes to sites that are made to cater to your specific needs. From sites that connect those looking for a quick hook up to sites for singles of a certain religious or ethnic persuasion, the World Wide Web is teeming with niche dating sites. When it comes to sex-based or fetish sites, many of the popular mature sites like Adult Friendfinder make you pay to play, particularly if you're a guy. Like traditional dating sites, these adult sites typically have members fill out questionnaires and create profiles that detail what they're looking for. Those looking to fulfill certain sexual desires aren't the only group with sites crafted to meet their needs—sites such as JDate or Christian Mingle, both religion-based sites, are popping up all over the internet. So no matter your pleasure, there's guaranteed to be a dating site that can help you meet your soulmate.

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 10, 2017) - WPT Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: WIR.U) (OTCQX: WPTIF) announced today its results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and that the REIT has approved the renewal of the REIT's Asset Management Agreement and Property Management Agreement with WPT Capital Advisors, LLC ("WPT Capital") for an additional five-year term as such renewal is contemplated by the terms of the agreements. All dollar amounts are stated in US funds.
"Our first quarter results underscore management's continued focus on enhancing unitholder value through proactive asset management and consistent operating performance," commented Scott Frederiksen, Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, we continue to evaluate potential acquisition and development opportunities that can enhance the scale and diversity of the REIT's portfolio."
SOLID OPERATING PERFORMANCEFor the three months ended March 31, 2017, investment properties revenue was $19.5 million compared to $17.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the contribution from our Minneapolis and Columbus acquisitions completed in November 2016, an increase in base rent in existing properties and higher recoveries of operating expenses, partially offset by the sale of a non-core property in July 2016. Net income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $18.9 million ($0.458 per trust unit and class B partnership unit (collectively, "Unit") compared to $24.2 million ($0.717 per Unit) in the same period last year. The decrease in net income is mainly due to fair value adjustments. Excluding all fair value adjustments, net income was $8.3 million compared to $6.2 million in the same period last year.
NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $14.3 million compared to $13.0 million in the same period last year. Same property NOI increased 4.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period last year, due primarily to increases in contractual base rent, the expiration of free rent periods, higher recoveries of operating expenses, and a slight increase in occupancy.
AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $8.5 million ($0.205 per Unit) compared to $6.8 million ($0.202 per Unit) in the same period last year.
Cash flow from operations and adjusted cash flow from operations ("ACFO") were $14.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, compared to $11.7 million and $7.2 million in the same period last year. The REIT's ACFO payout ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 86.8% compared to 89.3% in the same period last year.
STRONG FINANCIAL & LIQUIDITY POSITIONAs at March 31, 2017, the REIT's debt-to-gross-book-value ratio was 40.8% with an interest coverage ratio of 3.8 times, a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as earnings before fair value adjustments to investment properties, interest (inclusive of finance costs), taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio of 7.3 times, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 3.3 times, all consistent with or improved from last year. The weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding debt was 3.8% at March 31, 2017, consistent with the prior year. The weighted average term to maturity on the REIT's mortgages payable was 4.0 years as at March 31, 2017, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.1 years.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTSThe independent trustees of the REIT have approved the renewal of the REIT's Asset Management Agreement and Property Management Agreement with WPT Capital for an additional five-year term as such renewal is contemplated by the terms of the agreements. The agreements will now continue until April 26, 2023 unless terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof. Each agreement continues to provide for termination, including during the renewal period, at such time as the REIT has achieved a fully-diluted market capitalization of $750 million based on the volume-weighted average price of trust units (assuming all class B partnership units of WPT Industrial, LP have been redeemed for trust units) on a recognized stock exchange over a 20-trading day period.
(all figures in '000s, except per Unit amounts, number of investment properties and GLA)
ANNUAL UNITHOLDERS' MEETINGThe REIT will hold its Annual Meeting of the REIT's Unitholders on Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 1:00 pm Eastern Time, at 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1A9.

Back to School!
Pardon me while I do a little dance of glee...for today's the day my children go back to school. (Yes, I know we start late. It's a Michigan thing.)
As I was settling to sleep last night (probably more excited than they were), I found myself thinking about some of my favorite "school-movies"--flicks that revolve around being in school. High school, generally (because that's when most of the fun stuff happens...right?), and with much of the activity tied into school.
There are quite a few of my favorites that have to do with back to school, maybe because starting school is probably more of a New Year than hanging up a new calendar on January 1. It's exciting and frightening and each year is the start of something new and different.
Grease of course comes to mind as one of the classic "back to school" movies, along with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And The 10 Things I Hate About You. And though it's set in college, there's Legally Blonde for a great girl-power movie.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV show moreso than the movie) of course, and Veronica Mars (all right, so now I'm moving on to the smaller screen. But you get my point.) are two of my other favorites that revolve around the school structure and don't really have much plot outside of the school year.
And who can forget Friday Night Lights? (Tim Riggins, anyone?)
(You know I had to have an excuse to post a picture.)
All of these shows do an excellent job of using a school and classmates as its own segregated world and building its characters and plot around it. Schools are simple and familiar settings, but when creating a story, we (novelists, film makers, TV writers) have to identify the "world" in which it's set--regardless of whether it's a historical one, with steam-powered zeppelins or vampire hunters, a futuristic one with voice-powered showers and automatic chefs, or our own vast environment...but honed down into something small and manageable.
It's been a long time since I've been in school, but watching these shows gives me a sense of what it's like to be back in school--the dynamics, the relationships, the coming of age: it's all timeless.
So...what are some of your favorite "school" movies or shows? And what about you--is September a time for New Year's Resolutions, or do you wait until January when that brand-spanking new calendar gets hung up?

This is me, Michelle. I am a photographer who loves to capture natural moments on camera. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life and never let a minute go by where I don't appreciate some small detail. Life is good! Life is in the details. From the moment I pushed the shutter button on my Mickey Mouse 110 camera, and instructed my unwilling cousin to stand still for one more shot as I thumbed my way to the next frame, I knew I wanted to be a photographer. I was 5. I still, to this day have this photo. Many years later, I still have a passion for photography. I wonder how everything I see would look in a photograph. My passion is taking pictures of kids and families {yours, and Mine!}--freezing a memory and a moment in time. I am inspired, not by any one photographer, but by the people who are in front of my lens. I am inspired by the small details of messy hair, and little sleeves that have jelly smudged on them.. by orange cheese puff covered fingers, and the marks that they leave behind. (And lets not forget Kool Aid Smiles.) To put it quite simply life's details inspire me. Some projects that I am proud of are...I am a photographer for the Heart Gallery... These are special portraits of children who are looking for forever families, and need to be adopted. My work has been published in national magazines. I was also the photographer for a locally produced movie, with WhiteBridgeFarm Productions! {I was even in it!} I also enjoy taking pictures of musical artists. I have been lucky enough to shoot such talent, as Sammy Hagar, A young Nick Lachay, The Outfield,Blue October and a local musician Eric Erskine.
I soooo enjoy music, its a big part of our life here. I have an awesome husband, Mark, and two little hard Rockin' Amigos, Alex 11, and Andrew, 7. We like to hike, camp, and spend all our time playing with Rocks and Sticks. Love is all around me, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. xoxo

as part of Höhenrausch – The Secret of Birds
at the Cabinet of Curiosities of Upper Austria
The well-known US artist Mark Dion has been a passionate collector for more than twenty years, and in his installations, which are often reminiscent of natural history show rooms, he investigates the field of tension between nature, humanity, and science. Dion uses art to ironically question museumized scientific categorizations, but also our relationship to nature.
In the newly furnished Cabinet of Curiosities of Upper Austria, he especially presents an unusual collection of Things with Wings: in addition to a library for birds in a walk-in aviary and a glowing mural with inhabitants of the realm of the air, he has collected more than 350 objects from Upper Austrian museums, private collections, second-hand shops, flea markets and junk shops, which he exhibits in original cabinet of curiosities display cases. The collection will be continually expanded with a visitors' project.

Trace Sport Stars will feature Neku Atawodi, Africa's first female professional polo player in a new series that will follow her competition experiences around the world. The 25 year old accomplished equestrian, hopes that the feature will allow viewers to "see polo as the beautiful, fun, and competitive sport that it is, and encourage more people to watch and maybe even play." She states, "Lots of associations around the world are welcoming people interested in our sport, because we love it so much that we want the world to feel our passionate love of the sport and the animals."
The show will premiere next year in February 2014, a 26-minute feature on Neku's activities around the world.
Neku is also founder of Ride to Shine, a program that empowers African orphans through Equestrian sports, and was the subject of a BBC broadcast earlier this year (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21188359).
Bolaji Abdullahi, Nigerian minister of sports says: "We are very proud of Uneku's commitment to make Equestrian Sports a mass participation sport under her Ride to Shine initiative. Her plan to work with children and youth on this program is particularly exciting as it falls within the national objective of bringing two million additional children into sports over the next two years."
Born Uneku but better known by her nickname Neku, Ms. Atawodi holds a B.S. in Equine Sports Performance with Honors and a Masters in International Business Management. She was born in Nigeria and has become international on the polo circuit. At the age of 26, she has already been featured in Forbes Africa and has played in tournaments across the world. Pictures of Neku are available here: http://tinyurl.com/llx3tvr
Trace Sports Stars is the first entertainment channel dedicated to the lives of sport celebrities when they're off the field and on. Trace gets unique behind-the-scenes access on sporting icons and tells their compelling stories. It airs in 104 countries (DSTv channel 188, Sky channel 442).

Time for tea & fizz and an opportunity to discover this hidden gem in the heart of LondonA national treasure, the historic Museum of the Order of St. John in London, will be opening its doors to events planners and corporate clients on Wednesday 1st July and hosting a complimentary VIP 'Midsummer Day's Dream' Champagne Tea to mark the official launch of its eight unique and diverse venue areas. Events planners and corporate clients can register interest in receiving complimentary tickets to the Champagne Tea on the museum's website.
An ideal opportunity to explore this fascinating venue, guests will be able to venture into all the diverse and evocative spaces available for hire, from the imposing 16th century Chapter Hall and Council Chamber to the sleek and airy Museum Galleries and the stately Priory Church of the Order of St John, with its Norman crypt and scented herb garden. To enhance the atmosphere further, a repertoire of live music and extracts from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' will be performed.
Popular with a wide range of prestigious clients, from law firms and City of London liveries to design consultancies and global corporations, the Museum of the Order of St John is truly a venue with a difference, as clients have testified:
"Thank you for being so helpful and making our conference such a pleasant day. Everybody loved the venue – and they are a discerning group of people who have very high standards. The Curator's fascinating and appropriate choice of artefacts was much commented upon. Your volunteers were splendid and very knowledgeable. I would certainly highly recommend the Museum of the Order of St John as a conference venue."
"I always compare the Museum of the Order of St John to a step back in time," comments Juliet Barker, the museum's Marketing, Events and Development Co-ordinator. "The moment you walk in the door you are catapulted into a world many lifetimes away from the hustle and bustle of London as we know it today, which makes it an unforgettable place to hold a special event."

One of the beautiful aspects of crowdsourcing is the ability to bring together the ideas of thousands of creative individuals around the world, and using them to build a better world. Recently, we harnessed this power in IBM's People for Smarter Cities initiative. IBM asked filmmakers, innovators and creatives alike to submit ideas on how to improve their cities in a 2-minute film, sharing stories of success and guiding others towards it.
Videos were submitted from all corners of the globe to showcase ideas that truly helped build Smarter Cities everywhere, and its success did not go unnoticed. The efforts of IBM along with these filmmakers and forward-thinkers were recognized in several national publications including Fast Company, AdAge, and The Wall Street Journal.
The grand prize winner came to us from Dublin, Ireland and was awarded a total of $12,500. Mia Mullarkey's submission "Granby Park" highlighted this urban 'pop-up' park that sprung from a vacant site in inner-city Dublin. It is completely comprised of up-cycled, recycled and donated materials to form a place for children to play, exhibitions, shows and much more.
A total of 11 films were awarded cash prizes as part of the initiative. Winners were comprised of everything from an abandoned Detroit factory turned into a fish farm, to a man who made a bicycle completely out of cardboard. However, the amount of brilliant ideas did not stop at just these 11 winners. Due to the surplus of fantastic videos submitted towards the initiative, several Honorable Mentions were chosen and showcased on IBM's P4SC global web series.
One of these Honorable Mentions was submitted by filmmaker Debbie Formoso out of Los Angles. Debbie's film was centered on Maker City LA, a workspace for creative businesses, artists and entrepreneurs. It provides these individuals with an affordable space, multidisciplinary tools and an open environment to meet other creative professionals. A habitat where the community could come together and truly create a Smarter City.
With the huge success of the campaign and the positive effects it has had on cities across the globe, we would like to thank all of the directors, cinematographers, organizations and businesses who shared their amazing stories and ideas. To check out more of the Smarter Cities initiative or to get involved, visit their site at http://people4smartercities.com/
