Energy Production
Crude Oil
- Canada produced approximately 4.0 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of crude oil in 2016, an increase of 38% from 2010 (Figure 1). This ranked Canada as the 6th largest oil producer in the world.
- Canadian production is centered in western Canada, which accounted for 95% of total production in 2016. The remaining 5% was produced mostly in Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Canada's crude oil goes primarily to export markets. In 2016, Canada exported an average of 3.1 MMb/d – a 2% increase since 2015 and a 58% increase since 2010.
- Canada holds some of the largest oil reserves in the world, surpassed only by Saudi Arabia and Venezuela as of December 2015.
Refined Petroleum Products (RPPs)
- RPPs are a range of products that are refined from crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil, and jet fuel. RPPs are the largest type of energy consumed by end-users in Canada.
- Canada has 16 refineries with a total capacity of 1.9 MMb/d. Alberta has the largest share of refining capacity (24%), followed by Ontario (21%), Quebec (20%), New Brunswick (16%), Saskatchewan (8%), and Newfoundland and Labrador (6%).
- In 2016, Canadian refineries operated on average at 87% of capacity and consumed 1.7 MMb/d of crude oil.
Natural Gas/Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs)
- In 2016, total Canadian natural gas production averaged 15.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) (Figure 1).
- Alberta and British Columbia (B.C.) accounted for almost 96% of Canadian production. Smaller amounts of natural gas are produced in Saskatchewan, offshore Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Northwest Territories (NWT).
- In 2016, production of natural gas liquids (NGLs) from gas processing plants was 719 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d). The majority of this production (89%) was from Alberta, while B.C. produced 9%, and Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia both produced around 1%. Canadian refineries produced an additional 42 Mb/d of propane and butane in 2015.
Electricity and Renewables
- In 2016, Canada produced 652.4 terawatt hours (TW.h) of electricity. More than half of the electricity in Canada (59%) is generated from hydro sources. The remainder is produced from a variety of sources, including natural gas, nuclear, wind, coal, biomass, solar, and petroleum (Figure 2).
- Canadian regulation of the electricity sector occurs primarily at the provincial level. This includes most policies related to pricing as well as the types of power generation used.
- Either publicly– or privately–owned utilities, or a mix of the two in the case of Alberta and Ontario, generate and distribute most of the electricity in Canada. Deregulated wholesale electricity markets exist only in Alberta and Ontario. Deregulated wholesale pricing is determined by supply and demand forces.
- Different jurisdictions use different sources of power generation (Figure 3). B.C, Manitoba, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Yukon each generate over 80% of their electricity from hydroelectricity. Ontario, New Brunswick, and NWT rely on various combinations of nuclear, hydro, wind, biomass, coal, natural gas, and petroleum – although not all provinces use all of them. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Nunavut generate the majority of their electricity from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or petroleum.
- Generation from wind farms and solar photovoltaic panels grew from a negligible amount in 2005 to almost 5% of total electricity generation in 2015. The majority of the wind facilities in Canada are located in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. Ontario is home to over 98% of Canada's solar installations.
- Canada is a world leader in uranium production, accounting for 22% of global production in 2016. Approximately 85% of Canadian production is exported, with the remaining 15% used to fuel reactors in Ontario and New Brunswick.
- Saskatchewan is currently the only uranium producing province in Canada. The McArthur River-Key Lake mine in northern Saskatchewan is the largest uranium producing mine in the world. Uranium was previously mined in Ontario and NWT as well.
- The world's largest uranium refinery is operated by Cameco and located in Blind River, Ontario. Refined uranium is then shipped to conversion facilities for further manufacturing into fuel.
Energy Transportation and Trade
Crude Oil and Liquids
- Canada's large pipeline system serves both domestic refineries and export markets (Figure 4). The NEB regulates all interprovincial and international crude oil pipelines.
- In 2016, Canada exported 2.29 MMb/d of heavy crude oil and 0.81 MMb/d of light crude oil. The total value Canada's net crude oil exports in 2016 was $35.4 billion.
- In 2016, Canada imported 0.76 MMb/d of primarily light crude oil. All imports were received in eastern Canada.
- The majority of Canada's crude oil exports are moved by four pipelines: the Enbridge Mainline, TransCanada's Keystone, Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain, and Enbridge's Express.
- Nearly two-thirds of Canadian crude exports are delivered to its largest and most important market – the Midwest United States (U.S.). Canada's fastest growing market is the U.S. Gulf Coast. Canadian exports have more than tripled to the Gulf Coast since 2013.
- In 2017, Canada had 33 crude oil rail loading facilities in operation. All facilities were located in western Canada and have an estimated total capacity of 1.1 MMb/d.
- There are six rail offloading facilities in Canada with an estimated total capacity of 0.3 MMb/d. Two of these terminals are located in B.C., three are in Quebec, and one is in New Brunswick.
- In 2016, rail transported approximately 3% of Canadian crude oil exports and around 5% of the domestic and imported crude oil consumed by Canadian refineries.
- Alberta supplies RPPs to the Prairies through the Enbridge Mainline and to B.C through the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Alberta also supplies RPPs to neighbouring provinces by rail and truck.
- Quebec delivers petroleum products primarily to Ontario via the Trans-Northern Pipeline, Canada's largest interprovincial RPP pipeline, and by rail, ship, and truck.
- Exports of Canadian RPPs are primarily from the Atlantic refineries, though small volumes are exported to the U.S. from all Canadian regions.
- Quebec, Ontario, and the Atlantic provinces are the primary importing regions for RPPs, together accounting for 84% of total Canadian imports.
Natural Gas
- In 2016, Canada exported an average of 8.1 Bcf/d to the U.S. Canada also imported 2.1 Bcf/d in 2016. The value of natural gas exports less imports in 2016 was $6.1 billion.
- The vast majority of Canadian natural gas produced is exported to the U.S. via pipelines while a very small amount is exported via truck as LNG.
- Canada has a vast network of natural gas pipelines (Figure 5). Natural gas generally flows from production areas in western Canada to higher demand markets in central Canada and the U.S. The TransCanada Mainline is the primary long-haul natural gas pipeline in Canada, extending from the NGTL system at the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to the Quebec border. Several other interprovincial and international pipelines regulated by the NEB also transport Canadian gas to markets. These include Alliance, Westcoast, Foothills, Trans-Quebec and Maritimes, Maritimes and Northeast, and Emera Brunswick.
- Several bi-directional pipelines in Ontario allow for the import of natural gas during periods of peak demand.
- There is approximately 770 Bcf of underground natural gas storage available in Canada. About 65% of this storage capacity is located throughout Alberta, with the remainder located near Sarnia, Ontario. Natural gas storage is used to provide supply to consuming regions during peak winter demand.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
- Since 2011, the NEB has approved 35 LNG export licence applications and one natural gas import application. None of the projects where an export licence has been approved have reached the construction stage. LNG export projects have been proposed for both the West and East Coasts of Canada.
- Canada has one LNG import terminal – the Canaport terminal in New Brunswick. Canaport began operating in 2009 and has a natural gas delivery capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d, but actual volumes have been much lower.
- Several provinces and territories house small-scale LNG facilities for a variety of uses, including transportation (including marine and fleet vehicles) and power generation. LNG is also used for providing natural gas during demand peaks (for example, in Delta, B.C.; Sudbury, Ontario; and Montreal, Quebec).
- Canada is a net exporter of electricity. In 2016, net exports (all to the U.S.) reached a record high 63.8 TW.h, or about 10% of Canada's electricity production.
- The total value of Canada's electricity exports was $2.9 billion and the value of imports was $253 million, resulting in net exports in 2016 of $2.6 billion. The bulk of electricity trade occurs between the U.S. and the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and B.C.
- Electricity trade most frequently occurs in a north-south direction, between provinces and states, rather than in an east-west direction between provinces.
Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Total Energy Consumption
- End-use demand in Canada was 11 217 petajoules (PJ) in 2015. The largest sector for energy demand was industrial at 51% of total demand, followed by transportation at 23%, residential at 14% and commercial at 12% (Figure 6).
- RPPs were the largest fuel type consumed in Canada in 2015, accounting for 4 625 PJ, or 41% of consumption. Natural gas and electricity accounted for 3 938 PJ (35%) and 1 879 PJ (17%), respectively (Figure 7).
Refined Petroleum Products
- Canadian refineries produced approximately 4% more refined petroleum products (RPPs) than required domestically in 2016. However, differences in provincial refining capacity and demand create the need for interprovincial transfers and trade with the U.S.
- On average, a "representative tank" of Canadian gasoline consists of 70% gasoline refined in the province where it is consumed, 20% gasoline refined in another province, and 10% imported gasoline. However, significant regional differences exist. For example, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and the territories have no refineries and all of the gasoline consumed there is produced elsewhere.
- Gasoline in western Canada and Ontario is primarily produced with western Canadian crude oil, while gasoline in Quebec and Atlantic Canada is produced using a mix of western Canadian, offshore Atlantic Canadian, and imported crude oils.
- Growing production, new pipeline capacity, and new rail offloading facilities in eastern Canada has allowed western Canadian and U.S. crude oil to increasingly displace overseas imports in eastern Canadian markets.
- Total demand in Canada for RPPs in 2016 was 1.8 MMb/d. The primary products consumed were gasoline and diesel, accounting for 45% and 27% of total RPP consumption, respectively. Other products, including heavy fuel oil, asphalt, and lubricants accounted for the remaining 28%.
Natural Gas
- Canada consumed an average of 8.3 Bcf/d of natural gas in 2016. The largest consumers of natural gas were Alberta at 3.9 Bcf/d, followed by Ontario and B.C. at 2.3 Bcf/d and 0.8 Bcf/d, respectively.
- Canada's largest consuming sector for natural gas was the industrial sector, which consumed 5.5 Bcf/d in 2016. The residential and commercial sectors consumed 1.5 Bcf/d and 1.3 Bcf/d, respectively.
Electricity Consumption
- In 2015, annual electricity consumption per capita in Canada was 14.5 megawatt hours (MW.h). Quebec ranked the highest for annual electricity consumption at 21.1 MW.h per capita, and Nunavut ranked the lowest at 5.1 MW.h per capita.
- Canada's largest consuming sector for electricity in 2015 was industrial at 229.5 TW.h. The commercial and residential sectors consumed 169.0 TW.h and 119.3 TW.h, respectively. The transportation sector consumed a negligible amount. Canadian electricity demand has grown only 3% since 2005.
GHG Emissions
- Canada's GHG emissions in 2015 were 721.8 megatonnes (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Canada's emissions have increased 18% since 1990.Footnote 1
- Canada's per capita emissions were 20.1 tonnes CO2e in 2015.
- Canada's share of world cumulative GHG emissions has been below 2.0% since 1990. Despite this low share, Canada ranks 2nd for GHG emissions per capita in developed nations, after Australia.
- The largest sector for GHG emissions in Canada is oil and gas production, which emitted 189.5 MT CO2e in 2015. Transportation was the 2nd largest emitter with 173.0 MT CO2e, followed by industries and manufacturing at 97.5 MT, and electricity at 78.8 MT (Figure 8).
- Of the 189.5 MT CO2e emitted by the oil and gas sector in 2015, 167.3 MT were attributable to production, processing, and transmission and 22.1 MT were attributable to petroleum refining and natural gas distribution.
- Canada's GHG emissions from power generation declined 17% between 2000 and 2015. The vast majority of this reduction came from Ontario's phase-out of coal-fired generation. Between 2000 and 2014, Ontario's GHG emissions from electricity declined from 42.6 MT CO2e to 5.3 MT.
- Saskatchewan and Alberta are the provinces with the highest emissions from power generation. In 2015, Alberta generated 59% of Canada's total GHG emissions from power generation and Saskatchewan accounted for 19%.

Yanchep National Park can be found about 45 minutes north of Perth. It is one of WA's treasure troves which host an abundance of things to see and do – if you are the outdoor type person.
Today, I decided to take the girls up to see this park. I have visited here before, and have written about Cabaret Caves, however this time I wanted to show them the Wonders of Yanchep National Park.
Entry to the park costs about $12.00 per car. If you are travelling in a bigger group than 6, I would suggest visiting the website to find out fees.
I find Lakeside Park is a great place to start. Apart from toilets (much needed after a long drive), and a beautiful bbq/picnic area, this section of the park gives you access to view an abundance of wetland fauna and flora. And, every time I visit this area, I see something a little different – today it was a line-up of Spoon-bills along the water's edge!
After a little wander along the water's edge, one can meander up towards the McNess information center. Charles McNess was one of the main supporters to the park in the 1930's. [When I write another article about Cabaret Caves – I will talk a little more of how much one person made an impact to a community!]
I suggest you do not rush this walk, as I found that most of Nature's beauty are hidden in broad daylight. I know – an oxymoron – however it really is the truth. So many people rush to a destination…and miss out on the journey along the way. This little pathway to the information center is no exception to that rule.
Autumn, or the first weeks of winter, is a beautiful time to visit. Leaves are turning from green to hues of red, dry barren areas are now a rich lush carpet of grass, and animals/birds seem to be a better spirits. Of course, having a cloudless day after two weeks of rain helps put everyone in better spirits – including me.
Over the next few weeks I will be talking about a few amazing areas that you can visit and see in Yanchep park. So join me as I "stroll" through the park – article by article – and showcase some things you may just want to add to your bucket list!

Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk V
Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk V P5005 DY-N, 102 Squadron,
Plt.Off. L Cheshire, Linton-on-Ouse/Topcliffe, November 1940.
The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley was produced in response to Air Ministry specification B.4/34, and first flown on 17th March 1936. In the previous year it had been the first aircraft for the RAF to be ordered "off the drawing board"; the policy had previously been to assess the performance of a prototype before placing a production contract, but the view of the international situation had lent a new urgency to the British re-armament programme. The Whitley, easily recognisable by its nose-down attitude in flight because of the positive incidence of its wing, was to have an unexpectedly long service life, with progressive modifications and improvements, was at the outbreak of World War II the heaviest of the three bombers available to the Royal Air Force. Its early lower-power radial engines had been replaced by the Rolls-Royce Merlin in the Mk.IV, which also had a Frazer-Nash power-operated tail turret in place of a manual one, as well as more fuel and an improved bomb-aimer's position; it was this version that introduced the characteristic chin glazing.
The Mk.V was given a small increase in length, and revised fins, and 1,466 were built, more than any other mark; P5005 was from the second contract batch of this mark, ordered in November 1938. 102 Squadron had replaced its Heyfords with Whitley IIIs in October 1938 and received Mk.Vs in November 1939. and in October 1940 returned from a detachment to Coastal Command to Yorkshire to resume bomber duties.
On the night of 12/13 November P5005, DY-N, took off with a target of an oil refinery at Wesseling, near Cologne; the captain was Pilot Officer Leonard Cheshire. Although he arrived at the target on ETA, he was unable to confirm the aircraft's position for about twenty minutes because of intercom trouble, and by then it was covered by cloud. Cheshire decided to attack the railway marshalling yards at Cologne instead, but while approaching the target the aircraft was shaken by a series of violent explosions and filled with black smoke, with one of its own flares being set off by shrapnel from ground fire which also caused a large hole in the port side of the fuselage just aft of the wing root. The aircraft lost two thousand feet with the fuselage on fire before Cheshire regained control, and he was able to bring it back to base after eight and a half hours in the air. He was awarded an immediate DSO, and later a DFC for operations with 102 Squadron.
While its first "raids" over Germany were restricted to leaflet dropping, in that role the Whitley was the first RAF aircraft to fly over Berlin. It was also the first to drop bombs on mainland Germany, following the invasion of the Low Countries. The Whitley's last operation with Bomber Command was at the end of May 1942, but it continued to serve with Coastal Command and as glider tug and transport, notably with Special Duties squadrons.
Leonard Cheshire went on to have a distinguished career in the RAF, being awarded the VC and subsequently being the British observer when the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and after the war setting up the Cheshire Homes, initially for disabled ex-servicemen.

These buffering icons are what you see when an app or video is loading, before you actually view it. And without net neutrality, internet service providers can make some sites load even more slowly (the horror) if their owners don't pay up. That means more buffering hell.
If you have good, stable, and fast internet connections, you hardly see these but many internet users around the world are not so lucky, and soon, you could be among them.
Since we could be seeing these loading animations a lot more often, we might as well be seeking the best out there. Buffering designers, listen up.
10. Google Chrome
The chrome buffering animation is just frustrating. There's nothing fun to look at while you wait, just a plain old circle that you stare at until you start banging on your keyboard.
9. imgur
The Imgur icon is a twist on the classic spinning wheel of death icons it's hypnotizing, but look at it for too long and you start to get dizzy. Be careful not to fall off your swivel chair.
8. Facebook
Consider yourself blessed if you've never come across Facebook's loading screen a template of the News Feed where placeholder images animate as you wait for the site to load all your friends' annoying, but irresistible updates. Get familiar with this one, because we all go to Facebook more times a day than we can count.
7. Messenger
We've all been there: your Messenger group chat is popping, everyone's making jokes, you're all roasting that one friend, and you have the perfect meme to share, but you can't because you just see this.
6. YouTube
The YouTube animation is like an old friend you may not hang out that much anymore, but you grew up together.
5. GoEatBomb
Like many other games, Go! Eat! Bomb! has an awesome loading screen. You start off with a dinosaur egg that slowly starts to crack before a dinosaur eventually pops out.
4. Safari
Anyone who uses Safari is very much accustomed to the wrath of the rainbow wheel. It may look cute and bright, but don't let it fool you. It's pure evil and will torment you. Rainbow wheeling happens enough as it is, so just get ready to pull out even more hair if net neutrality disappears.
3. Netflix
Whether you're starting a new episode of the show you're binging or tucking in for your third movie of the night, the Netflix loading animation is a comforting backdrop as your reflection stares back at you from your laptop screen.
2. Snapchat
Woohoo! Sending goofy pictures to friends and getting back even wonkier responses is so fun! That is, until the snaps wont actually load and youre staring at a purple spinning circle. If your Snapchat app wont load, your friends wont know how fun and cool you are, and you wont be able to keep tabs on the minutiae of everyone else's lives. Thats simply no fun at all.
1. This Octopus-ish guy
Designed by artist Joshua Schaeffer, this little guy isn't actually in any apps yet, but if we're going to be waiting around all the time, it might as well be for something as pleasant as this calm, soothing sea creature.
Let's face it: even the cutest of these loading animations are frustrating when you see them too often. Learn how you can join the fight for net neutrality here.

This is the recipe Tanya made for Kristen's shower last week. So good!!!
1 pkg plain yellow cake mix
1 15oz can pumpkin
1/4 cup water
2 lg. eggs
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2tsp. baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped pecans (optional, I never use these)
1 tbsp confectioners' sugar for garnish
1. preheat oven to 350. Lightly mist a bunt pan with vegetable oil spray.
2. Place cake mix, pumpkin, water, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda in a lg. mixing bowl. Blend with a mixer on low for 1 min. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Increase the speed to med. and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look thick and well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips & pecans, making sure they are well distributed throughout the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the spatula. Place pan in the oven
3. Bake until lightly browned and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 42-46 minutes.. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a long sharp knife around the edge of the cake & invert it onto a rack to cool completely, 20 minutes more.
*if you plan to ice the cake you may want to eliminate the Chocolate chips. I use cream cheese frosting and color it orange with food coloring. You can stick an ice cream cone in the center and ice it brown. *
This cake can be stored for up to 1 week in a cake savor

text: merced county Exhibit Captures The Valley's Rural African-American Communities In The 1960's With Rare Photos By Joe Moore • Jul 3, 2018 Ernest Lowe A new exhibit at the Fresno Art Museum opening Friday July 13th, sheds new light on the history of rural African-American communities in the San Joaquin Valley. It features the work of photographer and journalist Ernest Lowe. From 1960-1964 he documented life in the communities of Dos Palos and Pixley, with fine art, black and white photographs. Valley Farmers Have A New Crop: Carbon By Joe Moore • Jul 2, 2018 Ezra David Romero This year a handful of farmers in the San Joaquin Valley have new crop. But it's not something you'll find at your weekend farmer's market. Instead it's carbon. A new program funded by the state's cap-and-trade initative aims to help farmers add cover crops to their fields, with the idea that more carbon will be stored in the soil in the form of organic matter. It's part of the state's effort to fight climate change. Ten Years Later, UC Merced Development Helping City Out Of Recession By Kerry Klein • Mar 6, 2018 Kerry Klein / Valley Public Radio Ten years ago, the city of Merced was ground zero for the housing crisis in California. Just a few years before that, the University of California's brand new Merced campus opened outside the city, which arguably drove the overdevelopment that set up the city to fall so hard during the recession. Now, a decade later, the university has invested in the city with a new downtown building—but that's not the only new development happening at UC Merced. Merced County Hopes A Deal With Port Of L.A. Turns Former Air Force Base Into Manufacturing Hub By Laura Tsutsui • Mar 6, 2018 Laura Tsutsui / Valley Public Radio We all know what a port looks like. There's water and ships stacked high with shipping containers. But those are often in busy areas on the coast: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland. Well, one Central Valley county has decided to get in on the shipping and distribution game. That county is partnering with the Port of Los Angeles to give their region a boost for distributing around the world. Nutria Pose New Threat To Wildlife, Water In Central California By Joe Moore • Feb 27, 2018 Creative Commons user Pmk58 California has a new water problem, but it's not drought, and it's not endangered fish. Instead it's a roughly 20-pound creature that's described as an "invasive swamp rodent" called the nutria. It's already causing problems in Merced County wetlands and state officials worry the pesky and prolific rodent could further destroy already fragile ecosystems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta and threaten the state's network of canals and levees. Farmers Search For Answers As California Mulls New Restrictions Over Chlorpyrifos By Ezra David Romero • Oct 31, 2017 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio One of the most widely used insecticides in America is the subject of a regulatory battle. Earlier this year the Trump administration chose not to move ahead with efforts to ban chlorpyrifos, first put in place by the Obama administration. Now, California is in the process of tightening its own regulations of the insecticide, and that has some farmers searching for answers. Utility Companies Embrace Drones For Efficiency, Safety By Ezra David Romero • Jul 19, 2017 AT&T/Ezra David Romero On a hill overlooking Millerton Lake in Fresno County a group of workers are gathering around a cell tower. They're watching a tiny white drone slowly circle the tower from the ground all the way to the top. Quasie Jones is with the drone imaging company Skycatch. "So what it's doing is taking a picture every two seconds," Jones says. "So by the end of it it'll basically have probably like five or 600 photos. So then our technology renders that and creates a 3D model." Watchdogs And Feds Say San Luis Reservoir At Risk If An Earthquake Strikes By Ezra David Romero • Apr 18, 2017 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio Some of the same people who warned state leaders about the probability of Oroville Dam failing are now sounding the alarm at San Luis Reservoir in Merced County. It's the first time since before the drought began that San Luis Reservoir in the hills west of Los Banos is nearly full at about 97 percent. Merced Homeless Meals Program Finds New Home, Thanks To Church By Joe Moore • Oct 10, 2016 Merced Rescue Mission / http://www.mercedrescuemission.org/about-us Homelessness is a big problem throughout the valley. It's not just in large cities like Bakersfield and Fresno though. Smaller towns and rural counties are facing their own challenges in serving those in need with food, shelter and often mental health and substance abuse treatment. But what happens when finding a place to do all those things runs into community opposition? Merced Rescue Mission Hot Meals Program Is Now Homeless By Joe Moore • Oct 5, 2016 Google Street View / Google EDITORS'S NOTE: As of Monday October 10, 2016 the hot meals program has reopened at a new location. Original Post: The Merced County Rescue Mission is looking for a new home for its hot meals program. Valley Edition Interview: Merced County Farmer Cannon Michael By Joe Moore • Jun 30, 2015 http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/ In recent months, the valley's agriculture industry has been thrust into the national headlines, largely over the debate over how much water farmers use to grow crops. Critics say farmers use 80 percent of the water used by people in California. However farmers say that number is misleading, pointing out they actually use only 40 percent of the state's total water supply, where about 50 percent is set aside for environmental uses. In Mariposa County, 3,200 People May Soon Run Out Of Water By Amy Quinton - Capital Public Radio • Mar 13, 2015 Mike Jenson / Merced Irrigation District A California community that sits between two large reservoirs is running out of water. About 3,200 people in the Sierra Nevada foothill enclave of Lake Don Pedro rely on water from nearby Lake McClure. But the lake level is dangerously low. That's forcing the community to find another supply. As Amy Quinton reports from Sacramento, so far it's come up dry. The Lake Don Pedro community is operating in emergency mode. For the last several weeks, work crews have drilled well after well, hoping to find groundwater. Valley Edition: June 15 - Google In Merced; High Speed Rail With James Fallows, Debbie Poochigian By Ezra David Romero & Joe Moore • Jul 15, 2014 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio This week on Valley Edition we take a look at innovation at Castle Air Force Base in Merced County, learn about the medical backlog in Fresno County, talk with writer James Fallows and Fresno County Supervisor Debbie Poochigian about California High Speed Rail, and speak with NPR's Google's Self-Driving Car And Others Use Merced As A Landing Pad By Ezra David Romero • Jul 15, 2014 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio This is the first story in a two part series by Ezra David Romero about what some are calling a tech boom in Central California. This week we talk Merced, next we explore Fresno. Meet a guy who wakes up and spends his entire day with Google. "I'm Daniel Galindo, I'm a student at the Merced JC," Galindo says. This 22-year-old won't label himself as nerd or a techie; he doesn't have a programming degree or write code. Brown Praises Counties' Creativity In Implementing Realignment By Ben Adler - Capital Public Radio • Apr 2, 2014 Amy Quinton / Capital Public Radio California Governor Jerry Brown is praising counties and law enforcement agencies for their work implementing his landmark criminal justice system overhaul known as "realignment." But as Ben Adler reports from Sacramento, the law enforcement groups are lobbying the governor for a significant change to the program. Speaking to a law enforcement convention in Sacramento, the governor praised counties' creativity under realignment in the two and a half years since it took effect. Under the program, the state shifted responsibility for low-level offenders to counties. Drought May Hurt School Attendance in Central Valley By Katie Orr - Capital Public Radio • Mar 18, 2014 Andrew Nixon / Capital Public Radio Declining school attendance may be the latest side-effect of California's punishing drought. As Katie Orr reports from Sacramento, the state's Superintendent of Public Instruction will visit the Central Valley Wednesday to talk about the problem. School attendance may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the impact of the drought on California. But it is affected. Less water means fewer crops, which means fewer farm jobs. And when the jobs disappear, families of migrant workers move on, taking their school age children with them. Along The Pacific Flyway, California's Drought Raises Concerns For Wildlife By Joe Moore • Mar 18, 2014 Joe Moore The area around Los Banos isn't just a stopover for valley travelers along Highway 152 who are headed for the Central Coast. It's also a vital rest stop for millions of birds from across North America on the Pacific Flyway. Ric Ortega: "If you come out here, you really don't see it all off of any of the major highways. But here we have something that definitely at least from an ecological perspective is equivalent to Yosemite Valley." Four Reasons Why Google Loves The San Joaquin Valley By Joe Moore • Mar 6, 2014 Google.com / YouTube It's around 150 miles from Silicon Valley to Fresno, but over the last few years, Mountain View-based Google has quietly been increasing its presence in the San Joaquin Valley. In fact, the region that's known for its raisins and almonds is now home to some of Google's top research and development projects. Science Museum At Former Castle Air Base to Close By Joe Moore • Aug 23, 2012 A science and technology museum at the former Castle Air Force Base in Atwater is closing its doors due to financial woes. The Merced Sun-Star reports that the non-profit foundation which operates the museum is planning to file for bankruptcy.

The nerves control the brain and all the other organs. The nervous system regulates the life of the body and influences the secretory system and all the endocrine activities which, in their turn, act on the nervous system. It recevies sensation in various forms, it absorbs them and turns them into movement, thoughts, speech, etc. Everything which goes on in our body depends on the nervous system. Nothing takes place without it, every idea, action or illness originates from it. The nervous system takes charge of our whole life, our breathing, the circulation of our blood and both ourconscious and sub-conscious mental activity. It is the commander in chief or co-ordiantor of our whole existence and it function as whole indivisble whole.
Our nervous system is divided into two main sections which are constantly in close contact. The sympathetic nervous system controls the activity of our internal organs, glands, etc., it is outside our conscious control and operates independently of the will. The other section is the central nervous system which controls voluntary movements and the conscious sensitivity. Nerve in the sympathetic nervous system is extremely thin. Sometimes it is as thin as a hair, sometimes it isso thin that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is grayish in color and is not surrounded with an insulating substance like a motor nerve. Violent emotions, agitation, worries, complexes, etc., stimulate the sympathetic system is mainly concerned with the balance and co-ordination of the reactions of our body.
All disturbances of the sympathetic system lead to inner upheavals. An immense range of disorders which are often very difficult to understand can then arise. When the sympathetic nervous system is upset, the patient often suffers from a general feeling of fatigue. The other nervous system may then become affected and may cause general debility, neurasthenia, loss of will power, various organic disorders and what is called nervous depression. It is important to take care of our sympathetic nervous system. A vicious circle may result from trouble in the sympathetic system.

This serene scene looks majestic – Delaney quietly enjoying a breakfast overlooking the fresh snow that sparkles under the rising sun.
However, the still photo fails to communicate the total meltdown that preceded this serene scene. Ninety-nine percent of the time, Delaney is a complete angel. Wise beyond her years, introspective, and more in control of and responsible for her emotions than many adults I know. I often treat her as an equal because most of the time it feels as if I'm hanging out with a peer (although maybe that says more about my maturity level than hers??).
But every now and then, she reminds us that she is just a toddler. She is just 3 1/2 years old, after all.
And this morning was one of those times. She got about an hour less of sleep than usual, so it's understandable that she was tired and grumpy as we were trying to rush her off to school. She gave us a glimpse this morning of what is likely to come during her pre-teen years as she was hysterically crying and shouting, "I'm just going to be sad forever… I'm never going to eat breakfast again… I'm just going to cry forever… I can't do anything… I just want to be alone forever…"
And, as her mother, I think I went through about 100 emotions during this 15-minute meltdown. From confusion about what was going on (it was a far cry from our regular "morning parties"), to anger over having communicate with such nonsense, to laughter at the high drama that was happening before 7:30am, to panic of what the next 12 hours might bring (as she usually doesn't nap well at school, so there's a good chance she'll come home even more tired and grumpy).
Or maybe this was all her way of reminding us just how good we normally have it with such a polite, caring, mature toddler!

ARLINGTON, Va. — A woman was shot and killed Monday as she called 911 to alert police that her estranged husband was in her home with a gun, police said.
Kenneth Bibbs, 29, a campus policeman at Northern Virginia Community College, was charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of his estranged wife, Annie Bibbs, also 29.
Police spokesman Tom Bell said officers responded within minutes of the call but were too late. Bibbs surrendered to police at his wife's house, Bell said.
Bell said 911 telephone dispatchers heard the gunshots over the telephone.

Clear-Cut Quotes (7 quotes)
Clearcut Quotes
Clearcut Quotes
Across the road from my cabin was a huge clear-cuthundreds of acres of massive spruce stumps interspersed with tiny Douglas firsproducts of what they call Reforestation, which I guess makes the spindly firs en masse a Reforest, which makes an individual spindly fir a Refir, which means you could say that Weyerhauser, who owns the joint, has Refir Madness, since they think that sawing down 200-foot-tall spruces and replacing them with puling 2-foot Refirs is no different from farming beans or corn or alfalfa. They even call the towering spires they wipe from the Earth's face forever a crop--as if they'd planted the virgin forest! But I'm just a fisherman and may be missing some deeper significance in their nomenclature and stranger treatment of primordial trees.
Clear-cutting in Oregon (source)
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed,chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones. Few that fell trees plant them; nor would planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble primeval forests. During a mans life only saplings can be grown, in the place of the old treestens of centuries oldthat have been destroyed.
No other subject has such clear-cut or unanimously accepted standards, and the men who are remembered are almost always the men who merit it. Mathematical fame, if you have the cash to pay for it, is one of the soundest and steadiest of investments.
The basic thesis of gestalt theory might be formulated thus: there are contexts in which what is happening in the whole cannot be deduced from the characteristics of the separate pieces, but conversely; what happens to a part of the whole is, in clearcut cases, determined by the laws of the inner structure of its whole.
The hybridoma technology was a by-product of basic research. Its success in practical applications is to a large extent the result of unexpected and unpredictable properties of the method. It thus represents another clear-cut example of the enormous practical impact of an investment in research which might not have been considered commercially worthwhile, or of immediate medical relevance. It resulted from esoteric speculations, for curiositys sake, only motivated by a desire to understand nature.
The world, nature, human beings, do not move like machines. The edges are never clear-cut, but always frayed. Nature never draws a line without smudging it.
[The effect of deep-sea mining is] to essentially clear-cut the deep ocean.

Rez Abbasi Quintet Cine-Concert: A Throw of Dice
Pakistan-born, California-raised, Manhattan School of Music-educated, jazz artist Rez Abbasi was voted the number one Rising Star Guitarist in the 2013 DownBeat Critics Poll. It's a ranking born from collaborations with a growing list of jazz greats and 12 studio albums of mostly original compositions filled with Abbasi's unique world music fusion of American jazz and Indian classical Carnatic music. That melding of cultural traditions will cascade in textural sounds and excitingly complex compositions in Abbasi's new score for German director Franz Osten's 1929 silent film A Throw of Dice, which depicts the love-triangle saga of India's epic The Mahabharata.
This performance will last approximately one hour and 15 minutes with no intermission.

Exactly 2 days after West Indies' WT20 win in Sri Lanka, another major ICC T20 tournament begins in South Africa. The 2012 Champions League WT20, much like last year, begins with a qualifying tournament- that leads into the main draw starting October 13th.
The 14 teams that enter this prestigious tournament, for once, though not in world view for a major chunk of the year, will also come from Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Here is a brief preview of the squads that will battle it out for domestic T20's ultimate prize:
For the record, India's very own Mumbai Indians are defending champions.
Auckland (NZ)
Status– Qualifying Pool
New Zealand domestic T20 Champions, Auckland will rely heavily on their heady mix of experience and more experience. Players like Andre Adams (37), Azhar Mahmood (37), Gareth Hopkins (Captain, 36) and Chris Martin will combine with the faded likes of the once-mega-talented Lou Vincent (33), Kyle Mills and Martin Guptill to give a good account of themselves in the qualifying pool. If through, they could spring a few surprises in the main draw, especially on the hard fast pitches of South Africa.
Chennai SuperKings (IND)
Status– Main Draw
Two time IPL Champions and 4-time IPL Finalists. 2010 Champions League holders. The glittery prize cabinet of this team seems to have lost little sheen over the years, with 2011 being the only year where they aren't holding any of the major trophies after being pipped by KKR in the IPL Final. A wounded Dhoni will try to make up for yet another WT T20 failure, by playing in a comfort zone he is familiar with- along side his good old friends like Ashwin, Raina, Badri and Vijay. It remains to be seen if the important foreign players like Bravo, Morkel and Faff have the motivation to play for a domestic franchise after being put through the grinder in an overly-patriotic World T20.
Delhi Daredevils (IND)
Status– Main Draw
The favorites in IPL 2012 ended with a whimper, thanks to captain Sehwag's shocking decision to drop their best bowler Morkel from the semi-finals. With Viru injured, the heartbroken Jayawardene will take over as leader- equipped with great resources like KP, Chand, Russell, Pathan, Warner and Yadav. It could be time to make amends, and you'd be hard-pressed to see a more balanced team this year.
Hampshire (ENG)
Status– Qualifying
Winners of the Friends Life T20 Cup in England, Champions Hampshire will look to lock heads with the best in the world. Led by Mascarenhas, the squad boasts of mostly home-bred players that have learned their skills domestically- with Afridi, Maxwell contributing to the overseas rooster. A long shot, considering the form of both these players, this team will depend majorly on their ability to gel and get through the tough qualifying stages.
Kolkata Knight Riders (IND)
Status– Main Draw
Champions of IPL 2012, KKR finally head into a tournament with their heads held high- a rarity that could not be imagined just a year ago. Led by Gambhir, who has promptly lost form after the tournament, this KKR squad needs to pull together quickly and give a decent account of the league with a lot more than reputation at stake. Players like Kallis, Lee, Yusuf Pathan, Shakib and McCullum need to regain pride and form, and combine with the potent Narine, Bisla and Abdulla to form a lethal combination of the large-hearted warriors that they were in IPL 2012.
Lions (SA)
Status– Main Draw
A relatively unknown Squad from South Africa, will rub shoulders with Mumbai Indians in their first league game at Jo'Burg. A few familiar names like Nannes, Alviro Peterson, and Sohail Tanvir find themselves in this underrated team, but they will no doubt start as underdogs in the glamorous world of CL T20. More knowledge will be gained about this team as they bear their fangs early in the group stages- thanks to the immensely popular Mumbai Indians, who are very capable of being upset early in a tournament.
Mumbai Indians (IND)
Status– Main Draw
Exempt from Qualifying after winning the 2011 CLT20 tournament, Mumbai Indians will not be led by Harbhajan Singh like last year. Sachin Tendulkar returns to the team, hoping to make up for a long period of relative inactivity- though one doesn't know how much that could profit the team in defending their title. Players like Levi, Smith and Malinga will need to step up after a disappointing World Cup campaign, if the Indians stand any chance of going through their group.
Perth Scorchers (AUS)
Status– Main Draw
Inevitably, the focus will always remain on an Aussie T20 outfit- considering the form of their national team. A change from the usual Victoria, NSW participation, it will be the Perth Scorchers this year- led by Marcus North- plying their skills in a tournament that Aussies have succeeded in over the years. Collingwood, Beer, Gibbs, Hogg, Katich and both the Marshs form the backbone of this experienced team, and will pose severe questions of opponents on pitches that could favour them.
Sialkot Stallions (PAK)
Status– Qualifying
A first by ICC standards, and the first Pakistani team to be competing on this stage. The Stallions, led by Shoaib Mailk, will feature massive talents like Nazir, Naved Hasan, new hope Raza Hasan, and recently banned Abdur Rehman. Weakened a bit by a deflating T20 World Cup, their predictability certainly can't be trusted, but word has it that this could be a team that blows the firmer and more established favorites out of reckoning.
Sydney Sixers (AUS)
Status– Main Draw
Led by Brad Haddin, the Sixers are- on paper- the stronger of the two Aussie teams. With Cummins, Lumb, Smith, Starc and, hold your breath, SHANE WATSON- it'd be hard to prevent the team from reaching the final four- after which Watson would love to make amends for after a shattering defeat by the Windies in the World Cup. This is my team to watch out for.
Titans (SA)
Status– Main Draw
Arguably the better-known SA team here, led by Jaarsveld, this is a team that features the enormous capabilities of AB De Villiers. Others like Rudolph, Thomas and Behardien will try their best to keep up, but they will miss the services of quick De Lange this year. Could be a handful on home pitches.
Trinidad and Tobago (WI)
Status– Qualifying
A pity that most of their players might have pulled out due to disputes, but still, the team belongs to a World Champion country now. Led by Ramdin, it features an impressive array of players like Badree, Darren Bravo, Barath, Cooper, Ganga and Rampaul. Missing Pollard and Dwayne Bravo, of course, but the firepower will need to be summoned to blast through qualifying first.
Uva Next (SL)
Status– Qualifying
The lone Sri Lankan team in here, and inaugural winners of the SPL T20 2012, Uva Next features forgotten souls like Kandamby, Fernando and Tharanga. But an added dose of foreign blood like Chanderpaul, Oram, Alam and Gul could spark to life something of an underdog story.
Yorkshire (ENG)
Status– Qualifying
Slotted together with Uva Next, T&T and Yorkshire in the same qualifying group, they have a tough mountain to climb- with regular domestic veterans like Gale, Sidebottom and Miller. The pullout of Bairstow won't make much of a difference, but these England teams have a lot to play for after having quite a disappointing Test, ODI and T20 year so far.

The political scenario in West Asia has undergone a significant transformation in the years following the 'Arab Spring.' Regimes have been toppled by both foreign intervention as well as popular protests and the region has descended into a hotbed of sectarian tension manifested through armed insurgencies and civil wars. While the major powers of the world attempt to grapple with an increasingly complex and difficult geopolitical situation, India's reaction to recent turmoil has been marked by an absolute reticence to engage with the region. Choosing to err on the side of caution, India has avoided taking pro-active measures to respond to the crises in Syria, Iraq, Iran or Yemen; being content to just evacuate its citizens during an emergency. However, given the high stakes that India has in the region – ranging from energy security and trade to remittances from its widespread diaspora, several scholars have been baffled by India's determination to sit on the sidelines rather than exert its influence to gain a stronger foothold in the region and help shape its future.
OOF is delighted to announce the launch of its project "Look West: India's Leadership Role in West Asia" – a six month project through which the Foundation will attempt to stimulate a national conversation on the subject and explore the potential for India to intensify its engagement with the region. The 1st Roundtable is designed to function as a precursor to targeted discussions and conferences on concrete steps and actions that the Government can/should take to tackle specific crises – such as ISIS, the sectarian divide, Israel-Palestine conflict, etc. The objective of the 1st Roundtable will thus be to:
- Canvass and document the wide spectrum of opinion that exists among the Indian strategic affairs community on India's role in West Asia
- Stimulate an in-depth discussion among academic experts and practitioners on the need for a more assertive role for India in West Asia.
Specific subjects that the discussion will be geared towards are:
- The evolution of Indian foreign policy towards West Asia
- Factors and drivers guiding India's lack of engagement with West Asia in recent decades
- India's geostrategic, geopolitical, and economic interests in the region
- The pros and cons of India taking a more proactive stance in the region and adopting a leadership role in responding to crises
- P R KUMARASWAMY :: Faculty Member, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University
- Dr. ISHRAT AZIZ (AMB) :: Former Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, UAE and Tunisia

Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) reported that Mitt Romney called him for "some advice and some perspective" about running for president in 2016 and that Romney "really does want to become president" in an interview broadcast on Monday's "Kelly File" on the Fox News Channel.
Chaffetz said Romney "wanted some advice and some perspective. I hope he does it. I think he offers something that others don't. He's going to have to change his tactics. I think over the next 120 days he's going to have to explain to people how things are going to be different because Republicans want to back a winner, we can't lose the White House again. And I think he's the right person at the right time. He's well vetted, he was right on the issues, he can raise the billion dollars that it's going to take. And I want to win, and so does Mitt."
After host Megyn Kelly pointed out that Romney was "vetted and then rejected," Chaffetz responded "Mitt Romney's going to have to do something different in order to compel people and show that compassion that I see with inside him. But he was prophetic on, really, foreign policy, and he was mocked by Barack Obama. I think the public has buyer's remorse. I think they know Mitt was right and Barack Obama was wrong. And on jobs and the economy, which is still going to be a top tier issue, there's nobody better than Mitt Romney."
Chaffetz added that his discussion with Romney was "just after Christmas, it was just last week, and he was saying 'Look, I'm really thinking about it.' And I think he really does want to become the President of the United States." And "I don't see anybody in the current field, who's really stepping up to the mantle and doing those three things that I talked about, being well vetted, being right on the issues, and being able to raise a billion dollars."

'Blockchain' solution released
Change Healthcare launches blockchain solution
Change Healthcare has launched a blockchain solution for healthcare, noting that it should let providers boost revenue cycle efficiency and improve analytics.
The announcement was made by Change Healthcare CEO Neil de Crescenzo during the Distributed: Health 2017 conference in Nashville, where he said the company is working with organizations such as The Linux Foundation's Hyperledger project to develop advanced use cases.
"As today's healthcare system becomes more value-based, it's essential that we aggressively and pervasively introduce new technologies into healthcare at scale — whether they leverage blockchain, artificial intelligence, or other emerging capabilities with the potential to improve outcomes and efficiencies," de Crescenzo said. "We are initially introducing blockchain technology to create a distributed ledger that makes claims processing and secure payment transactions work more efficiently and cost effectively for all healthcare stakeholders."
The Change Healthcare Intelligent Healthcare Network™ will support blockchain transactions by the end of this year, the company said, and customers will not have to develop new codes or data formats. Change Healthcare will use Hyperledger Fabric 1.0, an open source blockchain framework that is a Hyperledger project hosted by The Linux Foundation.
The company, which encompasses the former McKesson Technology Solutions businesses, joined Hyperledger as a premier member in May.

Based on a design dating back to 1946, the original Meteor was built using a batch of RAF Mosquito bomber reserve fuel tanks, which Watsonian bought from the Air Ministry at the end of the Second World War. Made from stretched and spun plywood, the tanks were were light and aerodynamic, so Watsonian adapted them to use as sidecar bodies.
The body shell of the modern Meteor is produced from glass fibre, using a mould taken from one of the original plywood bodies. It sits on a tubular steel chassis, which is uprated from the 1940's design with addition of a shock-absorber and 16″ wheel. A fold-down screen is mounted on a cast aluminium bar in front of the cockpit and the seat tilts forward to provide access to storage space behind.
The Zanzara is a variation on the Meteor, specifically designed for fitting to Vespa's popular GTS 250 and GTS 300 scooters.
Watsonian now offer a fitting to to pair the classic Meteor sidecar with the retro Royal Enfield Continental GT cafe racer. The aerodynamic design of the Meteor complements the lines of the cafe racer perfectly.
"The archetypal sporting sidecar outfit and a truly vintae experience" Peter Henshaw, Motor Cycle News, March 2015. Read the full review;
