Terribly Happy: Danish Butter Cookie Recipe/
Year Released: 2010
Directed by: Henrik Ruben Genz
Starring: Jakob Cedergren, Lene Maria Christensen, Kim Bodnia, Lars Brygmann
(Not Rated, 102 min.)
"God made the country, man made the city, but the devil made the small town." anonymous
This backwater town, with its seedy eccentrics and bleak brick storefronts, proves there still is something rotten in the state of Denmark even without its indecisive prince. The new marshal, already damaged goods, finds his job about as futile as herding cats, and these critters are feral all right, all teeth and claws, except for a few seductive meows that prove equally lethal.
But the town of Skarrild, despite its location on Denmark's South Jutland, has a distinct American feel. Maybe that's why Hollywood is rumored to be buying the rights to this foreign import, but if that translation fits what they did to Germany's Mostly Martha, which lost considerable vigor when it became the bland No Reservations, or Le Femme Nikita ("an absolute classic") as it morphed into the American The Point of No Return("cheesy, ridiculous"), then I'd advise you to see this Danish export and skip what violations Hollywood plans to inflict on it.
Part of the American feel of the film is a self-conscious Western one. The head villain, wife-beating Jorgen (Kim Bodnia) wears a white cowboy hat -- an ironic violation of the bad guys wear black ones rule – and he even accents it with a string tie with, if I'm seeing things rights, is clasped with what looks for all intents and purposes like a Texas longhorn.
The barroom is the center of activity; all the locals have their very own reserved seats, and even a funeral reception is held there. Not to mention the drinking contest between Jorgen and the marshal, a kind of alcoholic shootout with liquid rather than lead shots, but more than enough to be lethal if we are being realistic about the amount of alcohol consumed. But the booze fest is lethal in its own way, even if one case is more subtle than the other.
Then we have the fierce independence of the townsfolk who ignore and punish crime with casual malice and the repeated mantra: "That's the way we do things here."
Whether it is dispensing raw justice to the adolescent soda thief – a cuff in the face – or ignoring far worse transgressions by Jorgen, a much more formidable target. So when they hear the squeaky wheels of the phantom baby buggy young Dorthe (Mathilde Maack) parades through the dark streets when Mommy is getting bloodied up by Daddy, the locals lift their drinks and pretend they hear nothing.
And then there's the ubiquitous card game. Sure, it's not high stakes poker played by slick cardsharps, con men, and drunken cowhands, but the players are equally flawed. There's Dr. Zerleng (Lars Brygmann) who correctly labels himself the town quack and is quick to dispense his happy pills to Ingelise (Lene Maria Christiensen) as he patches up her bloodied face rather than do anything to stop her abuse. The local grocer has a dark closet where teenage "Klepto" awaits justice each time he stuffs some Danish fizz under his coat. And our kindly cleric can't even summon up a few words of Christian charity when he lays his latest to rest, almost with a sense of relief. "She was always an outsider. She never really fit in here."
Of course, our new Sheriff Robert (Jakob Cedergren) is no Gary Cooper or Clint Eastwood, the lonely exile who comes to clean up a corrupt town. He has his own troubled past and is relegated to sunless Skarrild as a kind of penance. And in him, the compromised leading man, and Ingelise, the femme fatale, we have the noir elements that round out our tale. She vamps into the marshal's office to report her husband's abuse, but seems more concerned with pulling down her blouse to reveal the scars on her tender white skin.
You can almost feel the pull of her sexual magnetism on the weak lawman. He fights against it, focusing on the scar and not the skin, but as sure as the setting sun, we know he will go down, and quickly at that.
Yes, he is sucked down almost as quickly as the assorted debris in the local bog at the outskirts of town. Whether it is the two headed cow, the long rubber boot, or the derelict auto or human, the bog will have them. The muck may be brown and oozing or merely metaphysical, but it will pull them down to its hungry maw nevertheless.
Yet there is a kind of poetry in this plunge, a justice in the self-destructive descent that is as old as man's ancient fall from grace.
—Kathy Borich
Film-Loving Foodie
Following a funeral for one of the town's residents, everyone adjourns, not to the church basement or the home of the bereaved, but to the local bar. Instead of the usual assortment of beers and mixed drinks, the wooden tables are decked out with a beautiful array of Danish cakes and pastries, creating an air of warmth and cordiality.
But don't be taken in by the gleaming icing and sweet aromas. The atmosphere is just as apprehensive and territorial as usual, the tension so thick you can cut it along with the layered cake.
But you are just a visitor here, not one of the strange residents whose existence is bound by gray skies, bleak brick buildings, and a ravenous bog on the outskirts of town.
You are free to leave this place as soon as the credits roll, but take a few minutes to help yourself to one of their delicacies, these light and delicious Danish Butter Cookies smothered in powdered sugar.

I have a passion for working in an environment where I can share the love of Jesus with my students. I am excited about being a part of Daily Shepherd where it is clear that Jesus is the focus. I am also passionate about the academic achievement of my students and strive to have them prepared for kindergarten.
I have been married to my husband, Daryl for 30 years in October. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Sarah and Rachel (and her husband, Scott), and I have a grandson, Liam that brings so much fun and joy to our lives!

Do you know the best time to put a picture on your Instagram account to receive the most likes? Do you know one picture will get more likes than another picture based upon what's in it? Do you know what time not to post a picture on Instagram because no one will see it or it will get buried in your friends feed?
Than you're just like me.
My brain takes notes on what others think. It recognizes the warm feelings that come from being approved of, it especially recognizes the feelings of being liked. I can't even write this without having to separate the thought, "Do I write what people will like or do I write what I'm processing and working through?"
Like buttons are not a new evil.
But doing, saying, writing, or creating what is liked will not get us to the place we hope. As a matter of fact, living for likes is not brave at all. But we are raising generations who have become aware of their self-worth beside like buttons. The two have never been separate for them. The issue for me is likes are deceiving.
If I follow the "like" trail I get further away from being vulnerable. So, I am trying to keep myself accountable through a couple of tactics:
1. Ship often - The goal is not only to create new things but put them out there for the world to see (Like shipping a product to stores), not for approval but to keep me brave. For me, I have to fight back against my lizard brain and it wants me to play it safe but safe is boring.
2. Dismiss "Likes" - I appreciate those who like my pictures, or blog, or whatever else I create. However, when the amount of likes alters the way I think than I have an issue. I'm no longer being true to myself or my creative nature. I have pushed away the fear recently of things like, "I will wait to post that picture in this window of time so it gets more likes," or "I'm going to write about hot topics in the media because they are more likely to draw readers (A post on Ferguson doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the Creative Leadership blog)."
3. Listen to true voices - I am no longer lending my ear, or my heart for that matter, to anyone who isn't in the arena themselves. Too many people want to give their opinion from the stands when they themselves have nothing at stake. Don't listen to people who don't try and fail. One of the worst voices you can listen to is from someone who's primary concern is safety from criticism or change. I want to be inspired by vulnerable and brave people, not restricted by people who play it safe.
The "Like" is easily seductive. Let's not be a generation chasing likes, instead lets be a generation creating the change we really want in things. It just might be possible in the midst of immense pressure through social media for a group of people to say, "You can like it or not...It might work it might not...Either way, we're brave enough to try."

I've been sporadic with this blog for awhile now and I need your help. What would you like me to see me write about? I am a scatterbrained Leo that loves art, watercolor, beauty products, shopping, home decorating, organization, being a mom and photography. Not in that order.
One of my new year's resolutions is to get more organized and timely with this blog (even though this baby is due in March) and reaching out to others who share the same interests I do. So let me know what you would like to see, I would love to know. Also, tweet, Instagram or pin this if you think you know someone else that could help me out too.
Hope you are having a great day.

Are you ready for greatness?
by Stephane Leblanc
You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. - Rumi
Are you ready for greatness?
This question has become a morning mantra for my business partner, Jeanne Rahilly, and I as we are both committed to live a great life and to be our greatest selves for each other, our families, our clients and the world.
But how does one achieve greatness?
I used to think greatness, like any worthy endeavour was a matter of hard work. When I was young I was extremely shy and this lasted all through high school. As a defence mechanism, I learned to work really hard to achieve good results as this was a way to differentiate myself. So all my life, I have been committed to be the hardest worker in any team I worked. This is also how I developed the habit of waking up at 5 am every morning as I had a newspaper route at 13 years old. This has certainly helped me achieve great results, but it has not always been healthy for me, my family of the people who worked in my team as not everyone is ready to work insanely hard or completely give up on living a balanced life.
Now I understand that greatness does require hard work, dedication and commitment, but that for conscious leaders, greatness is more about being than doing. I am mature enough to understand that leaders do not accomplish a lot of the actual work as the real work is done by their team. Most of their efforts is spent in communicating and in creating the context for people to work by establishing the vision and values and in creating a culture where people will thrive and deliver the expected results.
Conscious leaders understand that greatness is really about them transforming themselves and their organizations and that there is a clear distinction between change and transformation as change is really about optimizing what is already being done to do it in a more efficient or better quality way while transformation is about a new way of being. Conscious leaders are ready to commit to greatness by shining a light on the fears and limiting beliefs they have inherited from their parental and societal programming so that they can overcome or master them to rise to their full potential and step into their greatness.
I have learned a lot on this from Jeanne. Jeanne and I have very different professional backgrounds and also a completely different way of working. Unlike me, Jeanne does not believe in working insanely long hours. Make no mistake, she is indeed a very hard worker, but one of her greatest qualities is to be grounded in the current reality and to have a very sharp focus. While I can get lost in endless philosophical discussions about what is the next step to change the world, Jeanne gets easily bored with long discussions and is very efficient at keeping me grounded and focused.
In fact, in the few months since we have known each other, Jeanne and I have established an atmosphere of endless trust between us where we are constantly coaching each other and taking a stand for each other greatness, so we are both growing very fast. We have also established a morning practice of doing a check-in, a meditation and a gratitude practice to ground us and we also use this opportunity to set our individual and collective intentions for the day to ensure we are laser focused.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
As our mission is to be catalysts for the transformation of leaders and organizations around the world, Jeanne and I are deeply committed to our own transformation and we are constantly seeking out teachers that can help us elevate to a higher level of consciousness as this is absolutely necessary if want to help others elevate.
I have also learned a lot from my kids on greatness. Nicolas, my son, is 16 and going in his last year of high school this year. He has been going to a private school since kinder garden and school has always been a challenge for him, so he always had to work really hard. Guess where he learned this from? He also used to be passionate about hockey but he quit this last year when he was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.
As he quit his number one passion, hockey, Nicolas threw himself into school work with a vengeance. He was also blessed to have found a math teacher who believed in him and gave him the love, care and attention to rise to his full potential. This week he called me at work to tell me that he had achieved a perfect score of 100% on his math final exam. I cried tears of joy as I was so happy for him that his efforts are being rewarded. In the last year Nicolas has developed a passion for science and wants to pursue a career in that field and with his passion and work ethic, I have no doubt he will be successful.
My daughter Emma is 13 years old and is also a good role model for me on greatness. She is a figure skater and has been in an elite program since she was 8 years old. She skates more than 10 hours a week, in addition to all the off-ice work and often works until 11 m to complete her homework. In her skating career, I have seen her overcome doubt and fear so many times. I have seen her pursue her dreams and vision with relentless passion and commit to do the work required to achieve greatness. I have seen her get up after countless falls as she tries to perfect new moves and perform under pressure at competitions.
Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. - William Shakespeare
I believe that we are all born for greatness. I am convinced that life is extraordinary and that we do not have tolerate an ordinary life. I also believe that achieving greatness in all aspects of our life requires us as leaders to commit to a transformation process which will never end. I am reminded of Tiger Woods who completely changed his swing after winning the Masters tournament when he was young. He did this at least two other times in his career as he was committed to bring his game to the highest level.
I am committed to greatness and I am one of the most coachable leader I know, so I am constantly receiving feedback from Jeanne and so many other people. I receive all these feedback as gifts and I use them to improve and transform myself.
Jeanne is also committed to greatness and is also very coachable. In only seven months that we have worked together, I have seen her completely transform herself and I am committed to assist her to rise to her full potential and step into her greatness. When I met her, she defined herself as shy and reserved and now she is committed to speak in front of 700 people at our Global Summit of Conscious Leadership. Talk about courage and faith!
You too can be great.
You too can help others grow into their full potential and step into their greatness.
You too can live an extraordinary life.
Go and be great!

UCJ internationally certified
The University Council of Jamaica (UCJ) recently received ISO 9001: 2015 certification, and accomplishment which is expected to enhance the agency's credibility and strengthen public as well as stakeholder confidence, particularly among its primary customer base — higher education institutions and their students.
The certification is also expected to enhance the global portability and competitiveness of qualifications obtained in Jamaica.
Much was made of the UCJ accomplishment on Thursday at the Pegasus hotel, where the National Certification Body of Jamaica awarded its clients who have earned various quality certifications.
Professor Stephen Vasciannie, president of the University of Technology, Jamaica congratulated the UCJ on the achievement, and stressed that the agency's work guards against degree mills.
"UCJ's purpose is to guard against degree mills. UCJ reserves the right to examine the quality of the degree and this is a safeguard against degree mills trying to set up in Jamaica," he said.
Professor Dennis J Gayle, board chairman and executive chancellor of The University of the Commonwealth Caribbean, also applauded acquisition of the ISO 9001 certification.
"What the ISO 9001:2015 certification mean is that there is greater confidence that the UCJ which is the national external quality assurance body for higher education in Jamaica is more efficient …. and this creates value," Gayle said.
"This is in the interest of Jamaica's national development, specifically to the higher education sector. We get a multiplier effect as UCJ is improved, and its interactions with persons in the higher education sector are also improved. It then becomes a virtuous circle. We are one of a number of higher education institutions seeking institutional accreditation. We can expect greater transactional quality and rely that the ISO 9000:2015 standards will transfer to us in our interactions," Gayle added.
Dr Neville Graham, head of the Jamaica-based Caribbean School of Medical Sciences was also among those who said the attainment of global certification by the UCJ bodes well for all concerned.
"Considering that medical education is an important investment, it then is important that the quality assurance agency has international recognition. That means being part of the ISO 9001 family allows the transfer of quality of assessment to be at global standards. This means that our local students can compete with the best in the world. The opening of the network is very important. For a medical student, portability is very critical," he said.
At one time, higher education was seen as only for the elite. However, this changed with the establishment of the UCJ which, through its quality assurance processes, has enabled the development of a coherent higher education system in Jamaica and facilitated greater access to higher education for the citizens living in Jamaica.
Today, students have the option of pursuing their degree at any higher education institution, public or private, that has been quality assured by the UCJ.
"Jamaicans therefore have wider options and in fact, more affordable and flexible pathways to pursuing higher education," said Dr Dawn Barrett Adams, accreditation officer at the UCJ.
"It doesn't matter if you enroll in a two-year associate's degree programme at a college or institute close to where you live that has been quality assured by the UCJ, work and then complete your final two years at a local or overseas university. You may even opt to complete the bachelor's degree at that college or institute. Once you check the UCJ's website and see that your institution or a programme has been quality assured, you are safe," she continued.
The UCJ's stamp of approval means the programmes are internationally recognised and portable, she said further.
Executive director of the UCJ, Althea Heron, explains that "the quality assurance process is rigorous and requires higher education institutions to submit detailed documentation on their internal quality assurance processes. The UCJ spends quite a bit of time ensuring that the institution and its programme/s meet international standards for the profession and the standards for higher education."
Higher educational institutions such as faith-based institutes, teachers' colleges, community colleges, the Jamaica Stock Exchange e-campus are examples of non-traditional learning institutions that have gone through the UCJ's rigorous quality assurance process.

Don't be fooled by the neon lights of Shibuya mere metres away, or by the bustle of Yoyogi Park across the road. For a long time, Tomigaya has been a carefully guarded secret of locals in the know. The peaceful neighbourhood was originally home to just a handful of izakayas (Japanese pubs), cafes and local businesses, but in recent years, it has welcomed a slew of trendy bars, cafés, boutiques, and even an eco-chic hotel. Despite these openings, however, the enclave remains beautifully serene and is perfect for an afternoon of exploration. Here are seven stops to make in Tomigaya.
1. Trunk Hotel
At this sustainable hotel, guestrooms are adorned with washi (traditional Japanese paper) art and feature locally made and eco-friendly products, from recycled coat hangers to glasses fashioned from old light bulbs. Minibars come stocked with refreshments such as Shibuya Cola and handmade cookies, which can also be purchased from the on-site convenience store. Amenities include two restaurants as well as an outdoor terrace, which is the perfect spot for lounging with a bottle of beer in hand.
2. Fuglen Tokyo
A café by day and a bar by night, Fuglen Tokyo is the Japanese outpost of the acclaimed Oslo institution. But there's no Scandi-chic aesthetic here; instead, the venue oozes vintage charm – think Biri straw wallpaper, leather sofas and warm lighting. Sip on a quality cup of joe in the morning; from 7pm onwards, coffee is replaced by cocktails (try the famous ginger daiquiri) and the DJ takes over.
3. Minimal
The brainchild of Takatsugu Yamashita and Kosuke Tabuchi, this bean-to-bar chocolatier was founded in 2014 and has since opened several branches across Tokyo. The chocolates on offer are divided into three categories – fruity, nutty and savoury – with flavours derived from citrus fruits, herbs, spices and more. The brand prides itself on overseeing the entire production process, from selecting the cacao beans to wrapping and packaging. The result? Exquisite and utterly delectable creations that pair perfectly with a cup of artisan coffee.
4. Tsutsumu Factory
This two-storey stationery emporium is bursting at the seams with paper products (from the elegant to the kawaii), stickers, washi tapes, ribbons and more. You can even bring in presents of any shape or size and have staff work their impressive gift-wrapping talents on them for free (you only need to pay for the materials used). With so many trinkets on offer, you'll find it impossible to leave empty-handed.

We thank Justice Davis for the years of service she gave to the State of West Virginia, and we wish her well in the future." -- Senate President Mitch Carmichael, R-Jackson

Collection of antique Tapestries and Rugs
The Banquet of Alcinous, a French mythological tapestry, from the History of Ulysses, Aubusson, woven in wool and silk, fresh colors, after the carton of Isaac Moillon in the seventeenth century.
Alcinoos was the son of Nausithoos, son of Poseidon and Peribea.
But Conon the grammarian relates that he was the son of Phaeax, eponymous of the Phaeacians, the son of Poseidon and Corcyra. He states that when Phaeax died Alcinoos retained the kingdom and his other son, Locros, moved to Italy where he married Laurina, the daughter of Latinos to found the colony of the Locres.
With his wife Arétè, the daughter of Rhexenor, his three (or five) sons and his daughter Nausicaa, Alcinoos granted hospitality to strangers in difficulty, and especially to the shipwrecked.
In his palace, the Argonauts halted and met Medea, who was forcibly returning to her father Acetes. Taken as a judge, Alcinoos decided to return Medea to his father on condition that she was always a virgin, and if not, Jason could bring him with him.
Arétè hastened to make the two young men meet in a subterranean passage, and then she organized a marriage, thus avoiding Medea the punishment that awaited her at Colchis. The Colchidian ambassadors preferred to establish themselves in Corcyra rather than to face the wrath of Aeetes on their return.
The Argonauts took the sea with Medea on board.
Ulysses in the Palace of Alcinoos
Marc CHAGALL
The best known among his guests, Ulysses, took refuge in his home after a storm which had thrown him, destitute of everything, on the shores of the island. Nausicca took him to his father's palace, where he related his journey. Alcinoos comforted the heroes and offered him the products of his magic gardens where the rarest fruits ripen all year round.
Despite his growing love for Nausicaa, Ulysses decided to leave for his homeland. Alcinoos had a magic ship armed with no oars or rudders, especially for him.
And "Nausicaa with white arms" saluted Ulysses for the last time:
"Hail, my host, please the Gods, when you are in your country, that you remember me to whom you owe your life."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Chip stocks have picked up some steam the past seven weeks, outperforming the S&P 500, but a research note published Tuesday by Merrill Lynch says shares of semiconductor companies are unlikely to move much further.
Merrill Lynch analyst Joe Osha wrote that the chip sector lacks the fundamentals for a sustained rally: product shortages, pricing power, higher margins, sharply higher earnings' estimates and rising factory output levels.
"A real upturn in the semiconductor business requires a real profit cycle," Osha wrote. "We don't see any of these elements in place."
He predicted the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -4.36%, after rising about 12.3 percent since late January, will bounce in a range between 380 to 450 for the rest of the year
In trading Tuesday, the index fell 1.5 percent to 423.67.
Chip stocks began to nosedive in the middle of 2004 sparked by an inventory glut. Companies say inventories are shaping up and some chipmakers are telling Wall Street to expect better-than-anticipated sales in the first quarter.
Last week, Intel Corp. INTC, -3.89%, National Semiconductor Corp. NSM, +0.00%, Xilinx XLNX, -3.31% and Altera Corp. ALTR, -2.03% reported first-quarter revenue would be higher than previously forecast.

The new patch is here.
Read the complete blog post from Autodesk here.
Revit 2018.1: Direct Download Link
Here is a rundown of the most interesting new features from an architecture point of view.
This feature has been on the request list for a long time. Schedules can now be organized on the project browser. It works the exact same way as regular views.
Also, it is now possible to add parameters to Schedules. That means you can have custom parameters to sort and filter schedules the way you prefer.
Below, we test the new Grouping/Sorting feature with the custom "Schedule Type" parameter.
Now this is not a new feature, but it is useful to know: View Templates can be applied to schedules. The only settings you can add to the view template are Appearance and Phase Filter. Schedules can be sorted in the Project Browser by View Template if you want to.
These improvements will be very helpful, especially for large projects with 100+ schedules. Now, can we have the same thing for Legends?
It is now possible to ask for user inputs in the dynamo player. For example, we have the "Add Levels Above Selected Level" script. By clicking the parameters icon, Dynamo Player will ask you for more details. You can customize how want the script to be used without having to go to the dynamo interface. This allows people who don't know how to use dynamo more flexibility when using the player.
In this example, we have to select a level and choose how many additional levels we want to create.
Click the "select" button and pick a level in Revit. Then click play to activate the script.
The feature is useful, but there seem to have a few bugs. I had crashes while using the player, and some of the default script are a little awkward to use. It took me a few minutes to understand how to select lines in the "Calculate Total Length Of Selected Lines" script.
If you are a beginner and don't have a large custom family library, Revit has new elements for you. Content includes office cubicles, furniture, windows, and an appliance library.
For programming nerds out there, you can customize appearance assets using code. That means it is possible to use 3rd party tools to make changes to material finishes.
Learning Revit doesn't have to be boring. Our BASICS course make Revit simple, fun and easy. Check it out here.

I'm not sure were it came from or how it started, but I've always had it. I can clearly remember being six or seven years old, walking down the aisles of stores or Price Club (that's right, old school), seeing a typewriter and later computers, and feeling the need to touch the keys. It became a thing. Every time I saw one somewhere, I had to type something on it. Not just anything. My mom's full name. A-S-T-R-I-D-D-E-L-C-A-R-M-E-N-B-E-L-T-R-A-N. Weird, I know, but I HAD to do it!
Typing Obsession
21 Sunday Feb 2010
Around the age of 7 or 8, my mom gave me what I think was my favorite toy EVER: the PreComputer 2000. In researching for this blog, I could only find an image of the pre-precomputer 2000.
This baby taught me how to REALLY type. Legit: all fingers on the keyboard, not the two-finger-peck. The PreComputer had all sorts of educational games for vocabulary and math and what not, but I mostly just played the typing game. The first level would start with just a line of individual letters scrolling from right to left, and you had to push the corresponding key before it got to the left side and disappeared. As the levels went up, the letters became words, they threw in upper case and lower case (that was a biggie), and they started to go faster and faster. I'm getting all giddy just remembering how much I loved this game!!
At the age of 9, my mom and I moved to Guatemala to live with my grandma. My uncle Franky was probably about 15 or 16 at the time, and a couple afternoons a week he would walk up the hill from our house to the typing school. Yep, a typing school. My dream come true! haha. I remember walking by the school holding my grandma's hand, on our way back from the mini-market or the meat market, and looking at all these 15 and 16 year olds sitting in front of typewriters, typing away. I'm sure the last thing they were doing was actually being productive, but still, I was soooo jealous! I remember seeing some of Franky's homework and being amazed: they made all sorts of designs and drawings with the different letters and numbers (ok, maybe that was just Franky and at the time I thought he was actually doing his homework, but still). I couldn't wait to be old enough to go to my typing class. I remember going to a relative's home and their son was typing some sort of report or something on the typewriter, and I was just watching him type (can anyone say creeper?). He asked me: do you know where you should be looking when you're typing? The keys, duh. I was flabbergasted when he said no. The screen? No. Huh. That was when I learned that you should be looking at whatever it is you are copying from, and therefore, you have to have every key location memorized!
Unfortunately, we moved back to the States when I was 12, so I never got to take my Guatemalan typing class, but I still learned to type. And I still love to type. The faster the better. Jeff's mom always makes me feel good about myself when she comments on my typing, and Jeff just laughs whenever I'm typing on my blog: he said it sounds like there's no possible way I'm typing coherent sentences. Years of training have paid off!

Moby Dick CBD is a popular CBD-rich version of Moby Dick, a classic hybrid strain cherished all across the world. A cross between original Moby Dick and CBD Crew, this is a potent variety with a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio, making it a perfect therapeutic strain.
Unlike the original Moby Dick, this CBD cultivar produces very balanced effects that aren't overwhelming. With its delicious flavor, which will remind you of lemon, cedar and spices, it induces a pleasant euphoria with both physical and cerebral effects. Thanks to its high concentrations of CBD, this strain is very manageable to use during the day and shouldn't produce any negative side effects like couch-lock or anxiety.
Moby Dick CBD can flourish both in and outdoors. These plants may get quite large and tend to prefer temperate climates and plenty of space to branch out. All in all, this is a great alternative for those looking for a milder alternative to the original Moby Dick.

Phillies rough up Jose Fernandez, beat Marlins 6-3
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Marlon Byrd and the Phillies knew facing Jose Fernandez would be a challenge. They were up for it.
Byrd drove in two runs and Philadelphia knocked around Fernandez in one of his worst major league starts, beating the Miami Marlins 6-3 Friday night to snap a four-game skid.
"Offense was very good; they stepped up to the challenge," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "We wanted to be aggressive early on in the game with strikes in the zone. You don't want to get in the hole too often with him. Guys swung the bats early and that set the tone."
Phillies starter A.J. Burnett left in the fourth inning because of a sore right groin, but Philadelphia chased Fernandez (2-1) with three runs in the fifth en route to its first home win of the season.
"He has that aggressive attitude and a lot of confidence on the mound, but you have to come out swinging," Byrd said. "We got him today. It was huge. We had a good approach, took good swings, put the bats on the ball and got those timely hits."
Fernandez, last season's NL Rookie of the Year, was tagged for eight hits and a career-worst six earned runs in four-plus innings. The right-hander walked four, matching a career high, and struck out six. He gave up only one run over 18 innings in three appearances against Philadelphia last season.
"I was trying to throw strikes and it didn't happen," Fernandez said. "It's all part of the game. I had two good starts and then come here and get my (butt) kicked. I'm looking forward to my next bullpen, then go from there."
Derek Dietrich homered for the Marlins, who lost their fifth straight. Miami has been outscored 32-13 during the slide.
"We had opportunities," manager Mike Redmond said. "We had guys on base but couldn't get anything going."
Burnett was removed with one out in the fourth after walking Casey McGehee to load the bases on four pitches that weren't even close. Phillies trainer Scott Sheridan went to the mound with Sandberg to pull Burnett from the game. He had thrown 106 pitches.
The right-hander will be re-evaluated Saturday.
"I felt like everything was tight. I'm not too concerned, but you never know," the 37-year-old Burnett said. "I'm not a spring chicken anymore."
Left-hander Jake Diekman (1-0) relieved Burnett and wiggled out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam by striking out Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Dietrich.
Byrd had two hits, including a double. Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins also had two hits for the Phillies, outscored 25-10 by Milwaukee this week in their first home series of the season. The Brewers won all three games for their first sweep in Philadelphia.
Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save in three chances.
Philadelphia quickly jumped on Fernandez, scoring two runs in the first thanks to Byrd's RBI double and Domonic Brown's RBI single. Byrd has six hits and seven RBIs in his last four games.
After the Marlins tied it at 2 in the second on Dietrich's drive to right-center, Philadelphia went ahead 3-2 in the third thanks to Fernandez's wildness. The Phillies loaded the bases with a pair of walks and Utley's single before Fernandez walked in the go-ahead run with a free pass to Ryan Howard.
Then the hard-throwing righty returned to form by striking out the next three batters, featuring a fastball that reached 98 mph. He whiffed all three in the fourth for six straight strikeouts – all swinging.
Fernandez, however, was shaky in the fifth when Philadelphia opened the inning with four straight hits, the last of which was Byrd's RBI single that ended Fernandez's night. Kevin Slowey limited the Phillies to just one more run, charged to Fernandez, but the damage had been done.
Jeff Baker's eighth-inning sacrifice fly pulled Miami to 6-3.
NOTES: Rollins had two walks to give him 694 for his career, moving into sixth place in Phillies history. … The Marlins have lost 11 of their last 14 in Philadelphia. … Philadelphia CF Ben Revere (sore ribs) was replaced in the starting lineup by Tony Gwynn Jr. … The Phillies activated infielder Freddy Galvis from the 15-day disabled list and optioned infielder Cesar Hernandez to Double-A Reading. Galvis, who entered in the sixth, went 0 for 1 with a walk. … RHP Seth Rosin, a Rule 5 draft pick in December, cleared waivers and was returned to the Phillies. He will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Rosin was selected by the Mets in the offseason and was on the Dodgers and Rangers this year before getting released by Texas on Wednesday. … Marlins RHP Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 3.46 ERA) faces Phillies RHP Jonathan Pettibone, who will be making his season debut, on Saturday night.

You will know what to do./
These were three of the four fortunes my family received at dinner the other evening. Hmmmmm.
I knew I wanted to write about this pointed message from the fortune cookie gods (ha ha), but ironically I had a tough time deciding what I wanted to say. I know, I know. Too funny.
I recently watched one of my kids wrestle with a gut-wrenching decision, desperately wanting to pick a 'yes' or a 'no'--but the choice just wasn't clear...and still isn't. Ultimately, it seems this decision is one that doesn't need to be decided upon yet.
In contrast, a few years ago, I had clients ask me if I could help them make major, involved changes to a house they were just purchasing and had never lived in before. Their goal was to have everything renovated, painted, placed and perfect the day they moved in. No decision left unturned. No messy in-between time. No waiting. Just go for it. Get 'er done.
So--what is the right decision in terms of making the right decision? What style are you? Wait and see? Forge ahead?
I have to say that in terms of my offspring, I am proud that they are moving forward, although the question/decision is still lingering. While it would be easier to know for sure one way or the other, they know that they have to keep engaging with themselves and their world until things become more clear. Pretty cool. Pretty brave.
With my clients who wanted to go forward guns blazing, headlong into a huge renovation, I felt it was best to politely decline the opportunity to work with them--something that surprised even me.
While this sort of soup-to-nuts re-do makes for great entertainment (I, too, love those shows with the overnight transformations on HGTV), and major renovations are something I live for in my work, in this specific case I felt my clients were rushing into renovations that may or may not have made sense for them over time--especially since their family was going through many earth-shattering changes already. I felt they were trying to side-step the very important process of getting to know their house and how they really would live in it, and as a result most likely sabotaging the results we would have created.
We all want to do that little side-step move when working on our house, or making other big shifts in our lives. It is a way to try and outrun the discomfort of being in limbo, being in the process of making decisions, which can be very uncomfortable. That place where we aren't quite at ease is just where we need to be sometimes if we want to create meaningful change. Being "done" with our houses is a seductive idea, but ultimately what we truly want is a place to live that supports and nurtures the life we want to lead. That doesn't happen overnight. That doesn't happen by just wanting it to be done.
Finishing a house is a very different thing from just getting it done. If you engage in this process, it is involved, but when the time is right, you will know what to do. And the results will show it.
Working with clients on their houses is such a joy to me. I love helping to make the many required decisions easier, helping my clients to see the choices clearly that will get them the result they long for, helping them to finish each space in a meaningful way. Rather than just imposing my ideas onto a space, for me it is most important that I enter into a conversation with you and your house, and then help you to create a home that is finished, peaceful, beautiful, and truly yours.
p.s. Seems like a lot of people have had decision making on their minds lately. One of my favorite writers, Martha Beck, has put up a great piece this week on making the right decision. You can find it here. I highly recommend it! :)

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend c: Ours was pretty quiet and uneventful, as the bf has been working and I took advantage of that time to work on some of my own projects.
During weekends like this, we often order takeout or eat something that is really easy to prepare (like over pizza or pre-made salade) on Sundays, but since we ordered takeout on Saturday, we thought we should cook something instead. Trying to be a little healthy, ya know! ;p
Like most days, it felt like a pasta day to me (I love my carbs!). Since we already had a fishy and a cheesy pasta dish earlier this week, I wanted to try something new. Then I remembered that, after seeing Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, I had jotted down Pasta Puttanesca in my blog notebook to try out for Fiction Kitchen. Two birds in one stone! Originally I had planned to make Uncle Monty's Coconut Cream cake first, but since we already made a sweet recipe in the last Fiction Kitchen, a savory one might be a good change!
As a little research I looked up the recipe for Pasta Puttanesca from the (audio)book and the series:
"Listen to this," he [Klaus] said. "Puttanesca. It's an Italian sauce for pasta. All we need to do is sauté olives, kapers, anchovies, garlic, chopped parsley and tomatoes together in a pot and prepare spaghetti to go with it".
"That sounds easy," Violet agreed… "
– Chapter 3 of the first book 'The Bad Beginning'
Violet: I think I found something. Pasta Puttanesca.
Klaus: I wonder what that means in Italian.
Violet: All we have to do is sauté garlics and onions in a pot, and then add olives, kapers, anchovies, diced Parsley and tomatoes to simmer.
– Episode 1 'The Bad Beginning: Part one' of the Netflix series
It's interesting to see that not only does the recipe from the series slightly differ from the one in the book by the addition of unions, but also in the series it's Violet who comes up with the recipe, whereas in the book it's Klaus.
Oh and errr Pasta Puttanesca literally means 'pasta in the style of a prostitute' by the way. Interesting name haha!
Since most of the recipes that I found didn't contain onion and I think I prefer the recipe without it as well, I chose to omit the onions and thus go with the recipe from the book. For some more inspiration on how to prepare it, we used the recipes of Frankie's World and Gennaro Cantaldo.
Frankie's World is an awesome cooking show on Taste Made that is SO funny and very informative. You should definitely check it out! In the Pasta Puttanesca video he has some hilarious sketches about the origin of the dish.
Gennaro is our absolute favorite YouTube chef! He used to be Jamie Oliver's mentor and still works with him a lot, for example on Jamie Oliver's FoodTube (also a very fun channel to watch!). Gennaro is such an energetic, funny and charming man! I wish I could adopt him as my grandfather c: His famous quote "Why I cooking so good?!" is often cited in our kitchen, haha!
Being Italian, we trust the authenticity of his recipes, so every single Italian recipe we find we compare to his. And if Gennaro hasn't made a video or recipe for it, we run it by Atonio Carlucci, another very charming elderly Italian chef with whom Gennaro works.
A fun little tidbit: Gennaro has a little bit of an Italian accent (love it!) that YouTube's automatic caption function doesn't always understand. This leads to hysterical captions, like when he was saying something along the lines of "Look at this mozzarella. So lovely and fresh!". The captions instead read this. Like HOW? Cracks me up every time! :'D But I totally digress. Let's get cooking! C:
What we need
For 2 people:
- 250 grams of Spaghetti
- Olive oil
- 3 peeled and finely sliced cloves of garlic
- 3 anchovies fillets
- 1\2 a tin of tomato puree
- 2 tbsp of capers (rinse them off if you bought them in salt)
- a pinch of chili flakes
- a small handful of sliced and pitted black olives
- a big handful of halved cherry tomatoes (I used 8 whole tomatoes)
- some finely chopped Parsley to garnish
Optional: Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano
How to prepare
– Bring a pan of water with a little bit of salt to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
– Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a generous amount of olive oil and add the anchovies. Stir until the anchovies start to come apart and then add the sliced garlic, the tomato puree, the chili flakes, the capers and the black olive slices. Bake until the garlic is slightly golden.
– Add the cherry tomatoes and a little bit of the pasta water. Cover the pan with a lid until the tomatoes have cooked down a little.
– Drain the pasta (reserve a little of the pasta water), add it to the sauce and mix everything well. If the sauce seems a little dry, just add a little of the pasta water.
– Plate and garnish with a little chopped Parsley and, if you like, you can top it off with the optional Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano. Buon appetito!
And that's it! Piece of cake, really! Speaking of cake: really wish I also made Uncle Monty's Coconut Cream Cake for dessert. Oh well, next time maybe. Anyway! If you lay out all the ingredients mise en place, you can cook the sauce while the pasta is cooking. So it only takes around 10 minutes to make.
Frankie does warn in his video that this pasta dish is pretty pungent and holy macaroni it really is! Not in a bad way, though. Still, you might want to turn on the ventilation system in your kitchen. Ye be warned…
Have you made Pasta Puttanesca before? And have you seen Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events yet? Let me know in the comments C; comments

In traditional business and trade, there are several types of people who rake in their profits: there are the manufacturers - they are the people who create the products, own large capital and own the production themselves. There are also the advertisers - they are responsible for the information and marketing of the products. They are also responsible to bring the message across the company, the product, and the consumers. Then, there are the distributors. They make money by being transporters. They bring products worldwide and systematically distribute it to reach the consumers. Lastly, there are the retailers. Retailers act as middle men between the manufacturer and the consumers.
Forex, although an eon different from the crude definitions of trade players discussed earlier, works the same. It also has its own middlemen, and they are called the Introducing Brokers or IB, for short. An Introducing Broker could either be an individual or an organization, and they have wide experience and knowledge for their profession. However, do not be caught calling an IB brokering for you. The name may even be a misnomer.
IBs do not generally act as brokers. They are more like advisers on trade related issues and concerns. Hence, actual trade in the market is left to the customer or another party. IBs advise on their clients regarding market analysis of advisory, sales, and marketing. These advices are used by the client for better decision. Some introducing brokers have even offered their services in the internet to reach a broader clientele.
Should you decide to get an Introducing Broker, remember that you are still at full responsibility of your trade decisions. Aside from what has been cited in the preceding paragraph, an IB also offers the following for a client: they do personalized handling of clients and ascertain all of their needs. They also assist new players and traders who open their funding accounts. In most instances, the IB also facilitates sources of funds for the client.
Aside from research and business solutions, IBs also offer technology and marketing solutions to their clients. They create a system for accounting and referral, at the same time chooses the best platform for the client. Daily reports, accounts information may delivered to the client regularly via email.
Depending on your needs and capabilities, you may want to hire an IB to help you. Several authors contend that IBs do not make trade more efficient than doing it the traditional way. However, it remains upon the decision, and solely his decision, should a trader choose to get an IB.

Juve were 3-1 up at the break thanks to two strikes from Pippo Inzaghi, but Hamburg hit back, eventually leveling at 3-3 with a penalty from goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt (yep, him again). The Germans went 4-3 up with eight minutes to go, but Inzaghi completed his hat trick from the spot to tie things up with just two minutes to play. Questions? Yes, that is Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti managing Juve and Edwin van der Sar in goal.

The hormones oestrogen and progestogen are then transmitted into your blood stream from the patch. You have to change this every 7 days to ensure it is fresh and keeps working. The combination of hormones prevents an egg being released and thickens cervical mucus to help prevent sperm getting through. It is 99% effective if used properly.
Like the pill you will wear the patch continuously for 3 weeks and then have a 7 day break in which you will menstruate. As it contains the same hormones as the combined pill there are the same possible side effects and so if you cannot take this then the patch will not be suitable either.
The patch does not protect from STIs.

New Delhi: Budget airlines IndiGo on Tuesday approached the Supreme Court against Delhi High Court's order asking the company to partially shift operations from Terminal 1 (T1) to Terminal 2 (T2) at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.
Last year, the DIAL had asked Indigo, SpiceJet and GoAir to shift some of its flight operations from T1 to T2 in order to continue expansion work of the Delhi airport. Indigo appealed the Delhi High Court against DIAL order, but the HC had dismissed the appeal.
While GoAir shifted operations, Indigo and SpiceJet were unwilling to shift.
SpiceJet said that rights of T1 cannot be given exclusively to IndiGo Airlines, as it would be anti-competitive. The airlines added that it would shift operations if IndiGo also shifts.
IndiGo had said that option of staying fully in T1 and said if in future its number of passengers exceed the capacity of the terminal, then it will move some of its operations to T2.

This film has been an exceptional help over the last couple of weeks for me.
There are parts of myself, sexually, that have been re-emerging of late and I have been trying to squash and deny. Being interested in sex with people other than my S.O. doesn't make me a bad partner and lover. It doesn't mean there is something wrong with me. In fact a lot of what I fantasise about involves my partner and often has an element of him watching or 'controlling' the proceedings. Being grown up enough to be able to communicate this desire, articulate how I think it can happen and hopefully pursue it healthily IS the right thing to do.
We had a fantastic conversation about attraction to others, threesomes, sex, sexual adventures and openness to relationships. It was awesome. I aim for these kinds of conversations to continue and that we can work out exactly what we're comfy with here and now. There are some things I want to explore, but not to the detriment of my partner or our relationship – baby steps.

A Charming and Compact Compilation of Helpful Hints!
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Source: Review Copy from Publisher
There are have been many readers and writers who have turned to Jane Austen's words for guidance. Through her characters, her quotes, and her letters Jane Austen has left us with a fair amount of wisdom mixed in with her satirical wit and depictions of Regency country life. Even though times have changed, and there are societal and cultural divides, Jane Austen's words and gentle tutelage can be useful for modern-day heroines no matter what century they live in. I guess Jane Austen was quite proficient at sharing universal truths!
In this elegant and exquisitely handsome handbook, Sophie Andrews shares what lessons she has learned from Jane Austen – important lessons about being confident, having patience, and refraining from jealousy or impetuous behavior. The individual passages that highlight lessons of friendship, love, happiness, and the role of women are succinct and well-written. I really appreciated the concluding reminders at the end that truly helped the reader "Be More Jane." While many of the lessons were not new for me, it was very satisfying to discover the ways I have already learned to be more Jane in my life. I firmly believe Jane Austen deserves large credit for shaping my behavior and outlook. 😉 Continue reading »

The Truth About the Tesla Semi Battery-powered Electric Truck
The Tesla truck - the much-hyped, as-yet unreleased, battery-powered Semi - is heavy-hauling electrified pie in the sky. Here's why:
Five months ago, I reported on one of the modern era's most popular cults: Tesla. Watch it here >>
I decided to test - in a semi-robust way - whether Tesla was a beacon to a clean, green future, or just another cult.
A cult is simply: "a system of faith-based devotion directed towards a particular figure or object". And faith is just believing something when there's no evidence to support that belief.
So: you can have faith in Jesus. That's allowed. But if you eat an Oreo and take a big swig of Jack Daniels and believe you are consuming the body and the blood of Elvis, you're probably nuts. The distinction escapes me - completely.
Tesla - by any robust definition - is absolutely a cult. Elon Musk keeps failing to deliver - the cars, the autonomous technology, the green future, the Space X rocket launches - whatever. But you can count on him to deliver - on time, every time - official apologies for the non-achievement of his hitherto promised goals, wrapped in a rosy picture of the future.
Example: At the end of the first quarter of 2017 Tesla failed to deliver the promised Model X production target. In an official statement the company said:
"Tesla is addressing all three root causes to ensure that these mistakes are not repeated with the Model 3 launch." - Tesla statement
How reassuring. At the end of the third quarter, the cult had delivered 260 Model 3s. The only problem: It had promised 1500. That's what I mean by dependability.
This is not an isolated, cherry-picked example.
Tesla is not in fact an electric car company. It is a cash-incinerating bullshit machine. Despite customer revenue, venture capital, bank and government loans, investment stakes by other carmakers, and stock and debt market funding, the company makes no money, dependably.
The cult is in bed with Panasonic. Tesla is building the Gigafactory to bring battery production in-house. You can see the Gigafactory from space. Number 1 Electric Avenue, Sparks, Nevada.
Gigafactory on Google Maps >>
It's a highly secure facility. But even here there appears to be no real technical innovation going on - the Gigafactory is all about economies of scale. They're building standard lithium-ion batteries. Panasonic ones. That's not innovation - it's a big factory. Tesla makes plenty of statements about that - production efficiency; "moving molecules" is their catchphrase... - but hardly any statements are made about fundamental battery tech improvements.
So, should you find yourself claiming that Tesla represents new technology, you are kidding yourself.
That's what cult members do. Believing what makes you happy, despite the evidence.
Some Model 3 customers have already paid $5000 for 'enhanced autopilot' plus $3000 for Tesla's 'self driving package', the latter of which Mr Musk assures his fan base comprises all the hardware required for a 'driver' to sleep at the wheel … once the software and regulations are sorted. (In the game, that's called Level 5 autonomy. Zero human oversight required.)
In October, Scott Miller, a General Motors self-driving bigwig, publicly described this Tesla hardware notion as (quote) "full of crap", which is hardly equivocal. The Tesla package does not include lidar - which non-Tesla autonomous driving experts claim to be essential if you want adequate systematic redundancy to safely engineer out the human driver.
This is what a cult looks like if you are not brainwashed by it. A nice idea, about which the facts fail to add up.
In November, The Cult prick-teased the Semi - but left out critical specifications. Tesla continues to leave them out. And by critical, I mean critical to the people who would actually buy and operate a truck commercially. The most critical specifications for the world's first electric truck have still not been released. You would have to assume that this is not an accidental omission.
The Tesla Semi - it's claimed - will accelerate from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in 20 seconds - configured with an all-up weight of 36 metric tonnes. It will drive up a five per cent gradient at 65 miles per hour (104 kays an hour). It'll consume less than two kilowatt-hours per mile, they say.
Two versions are planned: 300 or 500 miles in range. And, if you want to join the Elon Musk boy band, you can reserve yours today for US$20,000.
But the cult offers no information about the tare weight of the truck - from which we might infer some critical facts about the weight of the batteries required to power it. And, to a trucking operator, this is critical. See, the weight of any truck is a zero-sum game.
That means: you're getting paid to deliver the payload. The heavier the truck, the less the payload. Because the all-up weight is absolute. (Here in Australia, the maximum weight of a five-axle semi-trailer is 40 tonnes.)
From Tesla: Deafening silence on the payload. (It's probably not good.)
The critical engineering deficiency of any battery-powered truck is the energy density of the batteries. Let's reverse-engineer that. Actually - that's already been done.
Back in June, two researchers from Carnegie Mellon University concluded that a battery-powered semi would cost a fortune, and have limited cargo capacity. The paper was peer-reviewed and published in the journal: ACS Energy Letters (published by the American Chemical Society.).
Read it here >> or download the PDF >>
In other words, that independent paper was everything The Cult's Semi announcement was not: It was academically robust, detailed and independent. Produced by experts and reviewed by experts. Of course it's hard to compete with Elon Musk's charisma - he did describe the Semi as a (quote) "BAMF" (for bad-ass mother-'lover') to enthusiastic sycophants at the launch.
Tough to compete there, when all you have is brains, credibility and facts, I guess… Still, the non-BAMF expert researchers found that an electric semi-trailer with a 600-mile range would require a battery pack that weighed 14 tonnes - not including the four significant electric traction motors and control and power management systems.
Simplistically, that's compared with, say, 500 litres of diesel to do the same job. Plus an engine and transaxle. That's nowhere near 14 tonnes. And you have to remember that the trucking industry is ruled by efficiency. Every kilo of a truck's intrinsic weight is a kilo you don't get paid to carry.
Then there's the time to recharge - which Mr Musk told cult members would be 30 minutes for 400 miles of range. That's a lot of electrical energy.
At the Cult's claimed two kilowatt hours per mile, that's a charging station capable of pumping in 800 kilowatt hours of electricity in 30 minutes. That's 1.6 megawatts of input power, for a half-hour duty cycle. Or about 700 conventional domestic power outlets (in 'Straya) on maximum delivery capacity.
I'd suggest it will be some time until the power grid infrastructure is available for that, in the boonies between capital cities. Of course, you could buy a 1.6 megawatt diesel generator from China (per truck). That'll cost you about $250,000 for a generator capable of fast-charging one truck.
It'll weigh about 15 tonnes, and pack a 71-litre V16 diesel engine. Expect to pay quite a bit for delivery. And you'll burn about 200 litres of diesel to charge one truck … which seems to me somewhat less than totally green, and in fact completely contrary to the fundamental objective here.
Alternatively, you could have an 8000 square-metre solar array to do the same job, in real time. For one truck. That's about six and a half Olympic swimming pools in area. Per truck. But of course if you want to charge the truck overnight, or on a cloudy day, you'd need about 20 tonnes of batteries per truck. Ballpark.
Alternatively, you could install a two megawatt wind turbine (plus - I don't know - 50 tonnes of batteries - because it's not windy every day). And the turbine will cost you about $2-3 million.
The cruising range. Here in 'Straya, it is rather a long way between capital cities. Adelaide to Melbourne is 700-odd kilometres. That's just inside the range of the larger of the Tesla Semis. Melbourne to Canberra is also do-able, with the big one. The only major inter-capital city haul within the purview of the smaller Tesla Semi is betwixt Sydney and Canberra.
Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane - you can't do that without recharging, and of course … forget about going east to west.
Sadly, the place where we really need electric trucks is deep in our cities - running the staggering volume of inbound containers from the port to logistics distribution facilities in the outer suburbs.
Currently the trucks doing this job - which literally does keep the economy ticking over - are old. Incredibly old. The average age of heavy trucks in Australia is almost 14 years. In the USA it's seven. In Western Europe, Canada and Japan they have heavy truck fleets five to nine years old. Our trucks are geriatrics.
That's easy to understand. In North America, old trucks migrate south - to places like Mexico or Columbia. Whatever. In Western Europe, they go east, to countries like Dogshitistan.
Because we lack a convenient land bridge to a third-world shithole, old trucks here are conscripted to belch their evil, deadly pollution into our cities, picking up and dropping off shipping containers. Because that's just what happens.
The old truck problem in detail >>
Infrastructure Australia predicted an increase in truck traffic of 50 per cent from 2010 to 2030. As far as I know, that's on track. In the same time, container traffic across our wharves is expected to increase 150 per cent, and the freight that arrives by air will grow by 110 per cent. It's all moved by truck. Infrastructure Australia National Land Freight Strategy >>
Before 1996 - let's call it two decades ago - there were no emissions control regulations on heavy trucks in Australia. And one third of the trucks on the road today are in that pre-'96 'big emissions' category. I'm not making this up - it's part of a report by the South Australian Freight Council. Download it here >>
The negative consequences for human health here are profound. Old trucks belch chemicals that cause cancer and life-shortening cardiovascular diseases. There is no doubt on this. It's a scientific fact.
Our cities - right across the developed world - that's where a fleet of electric trucks could make a real difference. But it has to be viable, as opposed to Cult Kool-Aid.
Mr Musk is, however, a charismatic, weapons-grade non-achiever of his stated goals. That's a fact. He keeps not delivering. He has many enthusiastic cult members sucking on that Kool-Aid, but the facts are simply not on his side.
You can buy a truck like this (right) today for about $30,000 - the mighty 1995 Ford Aeromax L9000 Detroit Series 60 - with only 823,000 kays on the clock. That's low kays for a 20-year-old filthy truck, and this one seems like a good deal. A perfect device for suburban container shuffling - if you don't mind poisoning the population while you do it.
Or you could buy a 300-mile Tesla Semi for US$150,000 plus. That's the base price. (And you'll need four or five hundred domestic extension cords… Or that $3 million wind turbine, discussed earlier.)
I'm not anti-electric truck; I'm anti-fantasy. Anti cult. Anti bullshit. Pro fact - that sounds nicer. More positive. Ask yourself if you are willing to bump the price of all consumer goods - from the TV to the groceries to the materials from which your house is built - as a consequence of having them distributed by the cult.
It will be a substantial bump in price. Brace for impact there - or don't, because the cult could just as easily collapse… To me, that's just a matter of time.

For many people, the idea of going into an addiction rehabilitation center may seem like an extreme option. For those who are suffering from any kind of addiction, there is usually a number of support systems out there. Of course, there is only so much one support system can do.
For immediate assistance with finding a substance abuse treatment facility in Hawaii please dial our addiction recovery hotline 800-281-9728 to speak with our specialists. We're available twenty four hours a day to help however we can.
Those who are suffer from extreme cases of alcoholism and other forms of addiction may need the extra help that an addiction center can offer them. Even for those who may feel that they cannot pay the necessary fees, there are usually government-funded community options to ensure that everyone is able to get over their vice.
The kind of facility you may look for will depend heavily on what sort of treatment you are looking for. One of the first steps is admitting that you have a problem. Individuals who feel that they are ready to face up to this fact can always take advantage of counseling services.
Even in Hawaii there are a number of different counseling services which provide support and help for those who are battling addictions and have gone through substance abuse. In fact, in many cases, it may be the psychotherapist or the counselor who will determine whether or not the individual in question should go to a rehabilitation center.
Some centers will focus on a particular type of addiction, such as alcoholism. People succumb to alcoholism for a number of different reasons. One of the most common is a genetic disposition towards the illness. The body can become chemically addicted to ethanol, and this is what is known as a "chemical addiction".
This differs from a psychological addiction, whereby a person mentally feels the need to consume alcohol or take a specific drug. Addiction itself is a very complex topic, and as a result no two cases are the same. There are a lot of psychological obstacles that an individual has to overcome before they can consider themselves "clean" from their addiction.
Chemical addiction causes the body to physically yearn and require a specific drug or combination of chemicals. If the individual does not get his or her "fix", then this can cause painful withdrawal symptoms. At a lot of treatment centers, experts will be on staff in order to help people who are going through this particular issue.
The medical process itself is called detoxification, and it can be quite effective. Even so, detoxification and withdrawal are not the only things which can "cure" a person. The will to get over an addiction has to come from the person themselves. For many people, this is the most challenging part.
Substance abuse treatment centers will always closely monitor the progress of a specific individual. They will make sure that he or she has taken the necessary steps. Some places will offer outpatient care, but others will offer a mixture of in and outpatient care. This depends on the strength of a person's addiction, and how much the individual feels that they can handle this on their own.
Even after going to the treatment center, it is important to have some kind of support available. Support can come in the form of parents, family and friends. You can always keep in contact with a counselor if you feel that you would like someone different to talk to. Having some kind of safety net can always be there to make you feel a little less vulnerable, more protected, and ready to tackle your addiction head on. This is a long and difficult process, but the result is worth it.

Logan Arnold, former assistant swimming coach at St. Bonaventure, was named an assistant swimming coach for the Colonials, head coach Brian Thomas announced Friday.
Arnold coached under Thomas with the women's program and assisted the men's program at St. Bonaventure last season. The Bonnies finished fifth and seventh in men's and women's competition, respectively, at the Atlantic 10 Championships.
"Having worked with Logan for the past year, there were two qualities that made him an easy choice for this position: his connection with the student-athletes and his tireless work ethic," Thomas said in the release.
Thomas was selected to lead GW's program this summer after former head coach James Winchester resigned in April to take over the program at Texas Christian University.
Before joining the staff at St. Bonaventure, Arnold spent the 2016-17 season as a volunteer assistant at NC State and helped the men's and women's teams to Atlantic Coast Conference titles and top-10 finishes in NCAA competition.
The Minnesota native also coached in his home state at University of Saint Thomas from 2015-16 and Concordia College from 2013-15.
During his collegiate years, Arnold swam for two seasons at St. John's University – a Division III program – where he broke two school records and captured the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in the 100-year backstroke in 2012.
The Colonials ended the 2017-18 season among the best in the A-10, with the men capturing the conference title for the second year in a row and the women placing third out of 11 teams at A-10 Championships.
