Ten O'Clock News; Redressing Roxbury disinvestment
Hope Kelly reports that the Boston Bank of Commerce is sponsoring the Home Ownership Loan Pool, to encourage homeownership loans for residents in minority neighborhoods. The neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan have received little investment money in the past. Kelly's report includes footage from a press conference with Ronald Homer (President, Boston Bank of Commerce) and community leaders. Bruce Bolling (Boston City Council) speaks out in support of the new program. Homer talks about the Home Ownership Loan Pool. Homer says that concessionary-rate lending does not serve the long-term interests of the community. Kelly reviews the details of Homer's proposal. Kelly notes that housing is scarce in Roxbury while vacant lots are plentiful. Kelly interviews Gus Newport (Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative). Newport says that disinvestment has been a problem in the greater Roxbury neighborhood. Kelly, Newport and Gertrude Fidalgo (community worker) take a walk in the Dudley Street neighborhood. Fidalgo says that development of vacant lots will create safer conditions in the area. Kelly notes that new housing developments are planned for the area. Kelly's report includes footage of workers at the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative building.

Super Snooper
From Worms Knowledge Base
(Up to Software)
|Super Snooper
Super Snooper login screen
|Latest version:
|Supported games:
Super Snooper is an application written by Annelid (most versions in 2003) to connect to the WormNet server for Worms Armageddon and chat in the lobby without starting up the W:A program. Recent beta updates have made the game fast enough that snooping is no longer the time-saver it once was, but a few players continue to use the snooper. The latest, and intended last version, was 1.40, which added a /raw command that would send direct IRC text to the server, and display the reply unparsed.
WWP has encryption involved in the IRC login process, and thus no straightforward method to snoop WormNet2 exists. Annelid may write a v2 of his snooper should any reliable advances be made in the WWP direction.

EU & Global Procurement Regimes - NOTE: THE COURSE IS CANCELLED IN THE AUTUMN SEMESTER 2017
Course content
Please see the course presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh3GgbnSoIw&feature=em-upload_owner
This course assist students to develop a sound knowledge of procurement law and relevant legal issues from an international perspective.
The global value of public procurement spending is enormous. Just the OECD countries alone spend a total of €1000 billion per year. In the EU over 250 000 public authorities each year spend around 14% of GDP on the purchase of services, works and supplies. National courts and complaints boards in EU Member States deal with thousands of procurement cases every year . The national practices are supplemented by hundreds of judgments from the Court of Justice of the European Union and the General Courrt on procurement law.
The consequences of a violation of the procurement rules can be very unpleasant and includes the duty to award damages for the loss of profit to a tenderer and the duty to set aside a concluded contract. The state of procurement law is still uncertain with regard to many questions of importance in practice and the development of the law in this area is highly dynamic.
The course will cover both the substantive public procurement
law and its enforcement. The core of the course is the EU public
procurement system. Additionally, the students will explore global
procuremet regimes such as: the United Nations Commission on
International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Procurement of
Goods, Construction and Services; the World Trade Organization
(WTO) Agreement on Government Procurement; the procurement rules of
selected finance institutions – the World Bank, the European Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the African Development
Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Beyond examining the contexts
and objectives of these procurement regimes, the course will
introduce students to the relationships between supranational
procurement frameworks and national procurement rules. In addition
the course will present the students with an opportunity to explore
recent regulatory procurement reforms in international and selected
national procurement regimes.
Emphasis will be on the following points:
- The purpose of the public procurement rules and its field of application
- The principles of equal treatment, transparency and open competition
- Exclusion and selection of tenderers
- Award and conclusion of the contract
- Horizontal policies and procurement (social and environmental considerations, SMEs, innovation)
- Termination of the tender procedure without an award of the contract
- Enforcement of the public procurement rules
It is an advantage if the student has a fundamental knowledge of EU law, in particular with regard to the functioning of the internal market and provisions on free movement and International Trade law. However it is not a prerequisite. The course is intended for both Danish and non-Danish students, which must have sufficient level of knowledge of English. Students from non-legal background are also welcome.
In general this course builds on knowledge obtained in both bachelor and MA courses as it gives the students the opportunity to work with research methods of jurisprudence and has learning activities that are part of writing a thesis ( problem-oriented case study work), contributes to specialized in-depth academic knowledge, contributes to acquiring skills in application of legal methods to solve complex legal task. More specifically the learning objective of the course is to enable the students to:
- Explain the purpose of the public procurement rules and their
scope of application
- Give a detailed account of the fundamental concepts of public procurement law and procurement procedures
- Identify relevant problems of procurement law
- Analyse questions of public procurement law and to interpret the law and practice in a concrete context
- Present arguments for different solutions in a structured and coherent manner that demonstrates a good overview of and insight into procurement law and practice and the ability to make a qualified choice between these solutions
- Put public procurement law and practice in an international perspective
- Communicate and formulate knowledge and arguments professionally and linguistically correct and in a way that is structured and coherent
- Develop drafting and negotiating skills
The course will be supported by power point slides and the use
of a Absalon platform, where the exercises will be explained and
information regarding the time frames will be given.
The students will be divided into groups in which they will work throughout whole semester. Groups will be designed to mix Danish and non-Danish students together and at the same time mix women and men. After each group work students will present their group conclusions to the rest of the class. Among others, the following teaching activities will be used:
• think-pair share;
• homework – the students will asked to prepare particular material for an exercise for the next class;
• repetition in the form of a quiz,
• case presentationa and analysis,
• group works (including excercises such as knowledge café and jigsaw)

As a criminal justice expert and consultant, one of the questions clients always ask me is about forgiveness. Often they are told to try and make amends or simply ask for forgiveness from those in their life and those they have harmed. Yet, this is rarely such a simple task and if taken lightly can cause even greater harm.
First of all I think that Forgiveness is a wonderful thing, and I have both forgiven others and been forgiven myself. But, I said forgiven not forgotten. None of us should ever forget what poor choices we make and the consequences of those choices. Too often people re-enter society from rehab or prison and feel entitled to forgiveness. There is no such thing. Forgives takes work on all sides. Simply apologizing, or as 12 step groups call it "making amends" is not enough. You must mean it and earn it.
In criminal justice circles there is a concept called Restorative Justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused by crime when victims, offenders and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results can be transformational. This is much more than saying I am sorry or asking for forgiveness. It is also a way of owning one's own actions.
Think about it- in all aspects of life we need closure and simply asking for forgiveness may be one sided. This is why forms of restorative justice work. But a key question I ask my clients when they complain about not being forgiven is simply- "DO YOU FORGIVE YOURSELF?" Ask somebody this and often the response will be "I never thought about that." It is my experience that one should not ask for forgiveness without doing the work and starting with themselves. Once you forgive yourself the rest will fall into place.
In a world that has gone a little crazy and in times of stress, forgiveness goes a long way towards the healing that usually needs to take place. Currently, many courts and even prisons around the United States are looking into this concept to bridge worlds that have been affected by crime. Those re-entering society should always look inward first and once done- they will have a more successful time.
I know that change is possible with hard work. So now let's all look at somebody in our life and start the process of forgiveness.

Bushnell, Horace
Bushnell, Horace bo͝osh´nəl [key], 1802–76, American Congregational minister, b. Bantam, Conn. Bushnell became (1833) pastor of the North Church, Hartford, Conn. He wrote Christian Nurture (1847) and God in Christ (1849). Because of certain views of the Trinity allegedly expressed in the latter, unsuccessful attempts were made to bring him to trial for heresy. Bushnell's dignified reply was made in Christ in Theology (1851). His repudiation of the austerity of Calvinism and his stress on the presence of the divine in humanity and nature had profound influence in shaping liberal Protestant thought. Ill health obliged him to retire from the active ministry in 1859, but he continued to write. His works include The Vicarious Sacrifice (1866), in which he developed the well-known
moral influence theoryof the atonement Sermons on Living Subjects (1872) and Forgiveness and Law (1874).
See the Life and Letters, ed. by his daughter, Mrs. M. B. Cheney (1880, 1903 repr. 1969) biographies by T. T. Munger (1899) and W. R. Adamson (1966) studies by A. J. W. Myers (1937), B. M. Cross (1938), and William A. Johnson (1963).

Follow me on Instagram! @serenaelliott
(makeshift bedside table, sheer tights, sunny day, stupid amount of lip products in my bag, lunch, socks, my baby, nail polish, Ikea haul)
First and foremost I need to apologise for my lack of quality posting. My last post was a wishlist and before that I hadn't blogged in a week. I don't want to make any excuses for myself but life got in the way! I have wanted to start posting some photos showcasing an outfit or two but set-up for outfit posts is really important to me and I haven't got that figured out yet. Watch this space!
I won't be blogging properly for a few days and I wanted to warn the few of you that do click on every now and again. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and leave a comment! I'm currently decorating my bedroom and so the space which I usually have to take my blog photos is unavailable to me (see my first photo above in which I'm using a stepladder as a bedside table!). For now I've included a few photos from my Instagram account - I have only had Instagram about two months and I'm not the most prolific user of the app so some of these photos date back a few weeks - I just wanted to give an overview of my own Instagram account, in all of its stereotypical unoriginality. I'd love it if you followed me on Instagram as I'm only new to the craze and need some more people to follow there!
In other news I've been working quite a lot and my spare time has been spent shopping for wooden floors and painting my ceiling. I'm so excited for my room to be finished! I've lived in my current home about three years and my room hasn't really felt as though it's my own personal space so hopefully a bit of redecoration will change that! I'm also going on holidays in two weeks to Paris which cannot come any sooner - my heart truly belongs there!
Please let me know what you've been up to and thanks so much for bearing with me and not unfollowing! Any suggestions for future posts would be appreciated - I'm thinking about doing a daily makeup post as I got some really lovely comments on my Nars blusher post! Thanks again for your support :) xx

bodhi - sydney
stuffed tofu pockets
rice paper rolls
stuffed duck rolls
curried buns
pigs in blankets
spring rolls
Bodhi was one of the only vegetarian restaurants in Sydney for SO LONG. I first went to Bodhi in 1997 and loved it back then. Everytime I go home I have the intention of going to Bodhi but never seem to get there! (and am usually in the city on my own, Bodhi is to be enjoyed with at least another person to share dishes). Clare and I were staying in Surry Hills and stopped there for yum cha on the way to the AGNSW. I dont remember it being fully vegan the last time I went there but it is now and its a speechless luxury to be able to sit there as they roll out dish after dish after dish of vegan food for you to choose from.
The food was AMAZING. All delicious and fresh and readily available (my favourite). The curry buns, tofu pockets and spring rolls were definitely the highlight. The duck rolls weren't that great, I wouldnt order them again. The other dishes were also amazing. Would happily eat the rest many times over.
A lot of people find Bodhi too expensive. I don't find that at all. We ate until stuffed and took home a container of leftover food as well (you can do that in Sydney), we both drank a glass of wine and the total bill plus small tip came to $60. I think that's a bargain.
deets: lower mezzanine level of Cook and Philip Park, 2-4 College St Sydney web: http://www.bodhi.id.au/
$$: as said all that food plus 2 glasses of wine $60
other voices, other times:
vegan about town
I dream in chocolate
eat more vegies

I love this place! I try to go there every time I visit Sydney. Just to be able to pick any steamer you want as they glide past is such a treat for us veg*ns...ReplyDelete
The pigs in a blanket are incredible and thanks for sharing! I've been inspired to feature these in today's Friday Food Fetish roundup. If you have any objections, please let me know. Have a wonderful holiday and keep amazing food coming!ReplyDelete

Does anyone know where you can get a recipe book with these types of recipes? We went to Bodhi on the weekend but since we travel a lot we can't always get these great tasting vegan meals and I'd love to learn to make them!ReplyDelete

One thing I really enjoyed making was PaleOmg's Turkey and Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potato. You can find the link here. Juli is hilarious in all her posts and while I no longer eat the paleo way (with more running I needed the carbs and I just wasn't getting them! I'm looking to find a way to balance the two. Any tips?) I still like to check her site for recipes and to get a dose of a real girl/blogger/chef in everyday life.
If I didn't have ground turkey I would just substitute ground beef: it's fattier but still delicious! Also I am a wimp to spice so I added less hot sauce and cayenne pepper and then spiced it up to taste.
Do you do paleo? Thoughts on the lifestyle? What are your favorite paleo recipes/websites?
Have a wonderful day!

Shelly Point camping area
This camping area has sheltered sites which suit smaller caravans and campervans. There are not many facilities, but this beautiful place is well worth a stopover to soak up uninterrupted ocean views and explore beaches which go on forever. Turn in off the Tasman Hwy, 3 km north of Scamander. You can camp in the clearings beside the road but not at the beachside day-use area. You need to bring your own water and firewood.
Who to contact: Parks and Wildlife Service, St Helens; (03) 6376 1550
This campsite is located in Scamander Conservation Area
Beside the highway, midway between St Helens and St Marys, this thin coastal reserve stretches along 12 km of glorious, unspoilt ocean beaches from Dianas Basin south along Beaumauris, Wrinklers and Steels beaches to Hendersons Lagoon. With fishing one of the biggest drawcards, there are launching places at Scamander River, Paddys Island and Hendersons Lagoon.

Ever the high-fashion surfer chic, Cameron Diaz sported a strapless nude Gucci gown to present alongside Jennifer Lopez at this year's Oscars. The gown's structured bodice flows into a diagonal cascade of frothy ruffles licked by strokes of metallic sequins—almost as if the design were channeling a sun-kissed morning on Cameron's beloved California beaches.
Brides on any coast can steal the star's look with this Reem Acra gown from the Fall 2012 collection, which similarly features an asymmetrical ruffle detail down the skirt and a classic strapless neckline. Style the look simply, as Diaz did, or add your own touch of shine with statement-making jewels.

The indoor and outdoor environment affects the ability of an older person to remain an active participant in society. It is clear that new technologies and improvements in transport and the built environment ave a direct impact on their health and quality of life. An accessible transport and built environment, and user friendly technologies can assist older people in carrying out daily activities as well as monitor their health, create social networks, facilitate their participation in work or volunteer activities and better ensure their safety.
Therefore, AGE Platform Europe calls on the candidate MEPs to:
3.1 Promote accessibility in all areas to support independent living and decrease the cost of dependency on public budgets while improving the quality of life for all, notably by calling for a strong and ambitious European Accessibility Act
Background: The European Commission has published a multiannual European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 whose overarching goal is the continuous and sustainable improvement in the situation of persons with disabilities in economic, social and participatory terms. Accessibility is at the heart of the strategy and is defined as meaning that people with disabilities have access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment, transportation, information and communications technologies and systems (ICT), and other facilities and services in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The midterm evaluation of the Strategy concluded that "tackling accessibility barriers will only be achievable over the long term, which will require ongoing commitment at EU and MS level". In its work programme 2012, the European Commission has foreseen the adoption of an Accessibility Act, a set of legislative measures to improve access to goods and services for persons with disabilities and elderly persons, based on the concept of Design for All. The proposal has been delayed for more than a year. In December 2013 at the occasion of the EU day for people with disabilities, the European Commission conveyed a high-level meeting with both businesses and civil society representatives to exchange views on the forthcoming Accessibility Act.
AGE Position: Considering the demographic change occurring in Europe today, it is obvious that ensuring the development of an accessible and supportive environment will help reduce the demand on care and assistance for the rapidly growing number of older people. Promoting accessibility in a pro-active way does not hamper the economy, but benefits society and the economy in general by lowering the disability threshold which makes life easier for everyone and supports labour market participation of persons with disabilities and an active and productive participation of older persons in their communities.
For more information you may read AGE brochure Active Senior Citizens for Europe, p. 51 or consult the European Commission Roadmap to the European Accessibility Act, available here.
3.2 Set accessibility as a pre-condition for all EU funding which supports the development of infrastructure
Background: Accessibility is part of the so-called "ex-ante conditionalities" of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to ensure that any infrastructure, notably for transport and building environment, are not developed without taking into account accessibility which a key element for the active involvement of persons with disabilities and older persons.
AGE Position: Accessibility is an essential prerequisite and it is obvious that any new infrastructure that is developed, especially with the support of EU funding, should be made accessible. It is important to ensure that all EU funding programmes, above all the ERDF, takes into account this dimension to avoid any discrepancy between the EU anti-discrimination policy and other EU policies and initiatives. It is also a clear requirement since the EU has ratified the UN Convention for the Rights of People with Disabilities. Taking into account accessibility for any new infrastructure is a human right matter but also economically relevant.
3.3 Support standardisation initiatives as a key tool to enhancing accessibility and design-for-all
Background: The European internal Market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which free movement of goods, services, persons and capital is ensured. Declaration 22 annexed to the final Act of the Amsterdam Treaty provides that the EU Institutions shall take account of the needs of persons with a disability in drawing up policy initiatives. To achieve this it is important that standards describing the characteristics of goods and services in the Internal Market include adequate accessibility provisions and that other provisions in those standards do not introduce accessibility barriers. Standards that consider the diversity of needs of the population and their functional diversity following a Design for All approach will favour the development of products and services that are accessible for all including persons with disabilities and older persons. Design for All aims to enable all people to have equal opportunities to participate in every aspect of society. To achieve this, the built environment, everyday objects, services, culture and information – in short, everything that is designed and made by people to be used by people – shall be safe, accessible, independently usable and convenient for everyone in society to use and responsive to evolving human diversity.
AGE Position: Standardisation is of great importance to improve accessibility since this technical tool can facilitate the development of accessible goods and services from onset. Nevertheless, standards do not go hand in hand with accessibility, since it depends very much on their content and the way they are developed. It is worth noting that countries with high accessibility standards in the build environment, transport and ICT are the countries where the highest levels of employment of both older women and men are found and those which perform best in terms of Healthy Life Year indicators.
The European Commission has issued a mandate – the so-called Mandate 473- to CEN and CENELEC (Two of the European Standardisation Organisations) to mainstream Design for all in the relevant standardisation initiatives, AGE is actively involved in that work which should begin more concretely in the course of 2014.
For more information you may read AGE brochure Active Senior Citizens for Europe, p. 52 or consult the Mandate M473 here.
3.4 Support e- and web-accessibility to enable and further improve access to information and services for all
Background: The European market for web-accessibility related products and services is estimated at EUR 2 billion. It could grow significantly, as less than 10% of websites are accessible. The number of websites providing e-government services (about 380 500 in the EU) and public sector websites (over 761 000 in the EU) is growing rapidly. Most Member States have already either enacted legislation, or taken other measures on web accessibility. However, significant differences exist between these laws and measures.
The non-harmonised national approaches to web-accessibility create barriers in the Internal Market. Therefore, the European Commission published in December 2012 a legislative proposal on the accessibility of public sector websites aiming at harmonising the national measures for the public sector as a necessary condition to put an end to this fragmentation and lack of confidence in the web accessibility market.
AGE Position: In its proposal for a directive on the accessibility of public sector bodies' websites, the European Commission makes recommendations in order to strengthen and harmonize the accessibility of public administration websites within the EU. With the increasing amount of essential data available online, it is crucial to enable everyone to have access to this information. Harmonised rules and procedures will furthermore have positive impact on the economy in reducing costs and facilitating exchanges within the Single market.
AGE has been promoting web accessibility at EU level since this is of key importance to avoid the digital divide among the older population and support seniors' social inclusion and active participation in society. As for the proposal, AGE has asked for an extension of the scope to really encompass websites which are key for daily life and to make it comprehensive considering the rapid development of the technologies, in particular the increasing use of smart phones.
The results of the first reading vote at the EP in February 2014 were promising and AGE hopes these results will be undertaken by the Council.
For more information you may read AGE brochure Active Senior Citizens for Europe, p. 51 or consult the legislative file on the EP website here.
3.5 Support the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities as a tool to adapt urban spaces to the needs of the EU's ageing populations
Background: Launched in July 2012, the European Innovation Partnership for Smart Cities and Communities (EIP SCC) brings together cities, industry and citizens to improve urban life through more sustainable integrated solutions. To do so, it includes applied innovation, better planning, participatory approaches, higher energy efficiency, better transport solutions, intelligent use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), etc. More particularly, it looks to reduce high energy consumption, green-house-gas emissions, bad air quality and congestion of roads, and to overcome bottlenecks impeding the changeover to smart cities, and to help coordinate existing city initiatives and projects, by pooling its resources together.
AGE Position: For AGE this initiative is very complementary to the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing, in particular the horizontal action on "age-friendly cities, buildings and environments". Integration between the smart, sustainable and inclusive dimension would help to deliver better results for citizens and to shape environments answering to the need of an ageing society.
For more information, you may consult the EIP SCC website here.

~ RefreshmentA Poem by
~ Refreshment, A poem about my hate-love relationship with Poetry. Nothing more need to be said.
~ Refreshment
She decided to give her heart
Back to the moon,
Where she belonged;
So that her heat could sizzle softly
On this fresh skin, to be one again;
After being sun-baked inside
For too many months, even years,
And feeling over burned by the love,
Of his tangible forged iron(ic) arms of heat.

Whenever Gazali Akewadola, 60, opens his mouth to speak about his trade, he makes one's heart to quake. The gangly elderly man could be mistaken for a God-fearing grandfather. But his true colour came to the fore last week, when he was arrested by the men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos State Police Command. He gave a bone-chilling confession of his involvement in human sacrifice, cannibalism and murder.
Akewadola and two of his accomplices, Kazeem Sanni (25) and Alfa Taofeek (35) are among members of a dreaded eight-man gang of ritual murderers and human part sellers who nea\rly walked into police net May. Akewadola, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the evil trade and two others, escaped arrest until last week.
"Most of the human parts I bought were sold to me by this boy," Akewadola said pointing fingers at Sanni. He continued: "He used to sell one head for N3, 000, depending on the market price because at times, he used to sell for N8, 000 per head. The soft bones that can easily be ground into powder are very cheap and I pay as little as N1, 000 for them."
Akewadola, a well-respected Islamic scholar in Folahan Village, Owode Yewa, Ogun State, also practised as a native doctor with specialisation in using human parts to prepare 'get rich quick' medicines.
Recently, he upgraded his trade from buying human parts to kidnapping humans, slaughtering them and using parts of their bodies for rituals.
"It is cheaper to buy a living human being. You get a lot of costly parts from it and it is more powerful because the efficacy of the charm or concoction you prepare with life parts cannot be compared with the ones you prepare with dead ones," the scholar said remorselessly.
He further confessed: "For instance, the full human being will give you blood when you kill him; the same body will give you hairs from private parts, head and some beards or mustache. You can also cut out private parts. Each part of human being is useful. Even the meat, intestines, liver, heart, eyes, lips and tongues can be used for pepper soup. If you buy a full human being for N30, 000 or N40, 000 and cut it, you can end up getting N100, 000 or more because you get more than ten parts that can yield good money."
Akewadola added that any human part, when eaten with wine or beer, is sweet and has healing powers. It can also make one get rich quick. But despite the devilish gusto with which he recounted his crimes, Akewadola would not touch any of his "eight lovely children" or relatives.
"I don't like to use my children because they are the ones to benefit from the wealth I am making. I have value for their lives more than strangers. I prefer strangers that are from far away," he confessed.
His ignoble rule came to an end when Sanni, acting as guard to a crack team of SARS officers, invaded his hide-out in Owode and dragged him into the waiting hands of the law. His regret: "My regret is that I did not become rich after all; I even found it difficult to feed."
Sanni, who hails from Oke-Odo, Yewa, was a rice smuggler who slipped into hard times. "My business was not moving well. At times, Customs personnel at the border would seize all my smuggled goods and impoverish me the more," he said. He thereafter became a human head hunter, digging graves and stealing corpses to sell to his many patrons.
Taofeek said: "I am an Islamic clergy; I bought human heads which I grind and mix with hot drink to enable me become rich. I have been making people rich and at a point, I became jealous and decided to make myself rich since I did not get something reasonable from those I made rich."
He said he had used proceeds from his rituals to send young Muslims to Quranic schools. Police sources confirmed that investigations were ongoing, after which they would face the law.

Wärtsilä: IEA finds combustion engines competitive in enabling wind and solar energy
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 14 May 2014 at 10 am EET
Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are a promising technology for supporting
wind and solar energy, a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA)
finds. Comparing different sources of flexibility for power systems, IEA says
gas-fired ICE power plants are "very mature technology" and "cost-competitive
to OCGTs" (Open Cycle Gas Turbines). Commenting on the alternative
technologies, IEA notes that "growth in ICE plants actually exceeds that of
turbine-based technologies". The findings were published in IEA's Energy
Technology Perspectives 2014.
According to IEA, the key asset of engine-based generation is fast starting
and ramping capability. Quick reaction time is key to follow the output of
wind and solar as closely as possible.
International Energy Agency also mentions high efficiency at part-load. The
part-loading efficiency penalty at 30 per cent load is zero for combustion
engines and about 32 per cent for turbine-based plants. Furthermore, one of
the advantages is fuel compatibility. Combustion engines provide additional
fuel security, because they can operate on any liquid or gaseous fuel,
including biofuels.
Wärtsilä's power plants have a long track record of supporting renewables.
"There are other technologies out there but what led us to the decision to
pick the Wärtsilä's was that they start very quickly and are efficient
units," says Mark W. Schwirtz, President of the consumer-owned utility Golden
Spread Electric Cooperative in Texas, USA. This 170 MW unit is used to
wind-balancing and shaving peaks in electricity demand. The capability of
starting in 30 seconds and ramping to full power in just 5 minutes is needed
for both tasks.
The system-level value of agile generation is demonstrated in a recent white
paper by Wärtsilä and Energy Exemplar. Replacing 5.6 GW of planned turbine
capacity with combustion engine plants in California would result in 4-6 per
cent savings in electricity bills and annual reductions of 450 000 metric
tons of carbon emissions. Savings add up from avoiding inefficient
part-loading of gas turbine plants.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Pam Bondi today issued investigative subpoenas to three debris-removal companies in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. The subpoenas are being issued pursuant to Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and are part of an ongoing investigation into allegations that debris removal contractors are either failing to perform at pre-storm contract rates, not performing until negotiating higher rates or are slow to perform under existing contracts.
"Sitting debris is a health and safety hazard and needs to be removed as soon as possible—but instead of doing their jobs and helping Floridians recover, apparently some contractors are delaying the work or requesting higher rates," said Attorney General Bondi. "These subpoenas seek to answer questions about why many communities are continuing to struggle with the hazards of debris while having to contend with rate hikes."
The office is reviewing contracts and gathering information relating to delays and potential price increases for debris removal by AshBritt, Inc. Two other companies, Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. and DRC Emergency Services Inc. have also been served with investigative subpoenas based on information that they may have also sought increased rates for debris removal. The subpoenas seek documents showing whether the contractors are indeed providing the services under the contract, the estimated time for completion of debris removal, what rates are being charged, and whether these rates have been increased. Also included in the subpoenas are requests for information relating to subcontractors.
In addition to the subpoenas issued today, the office will continue to review contracts and gather more information from other contractors and local officials.

These are fake and the IRS would never email you for something like this. It's kind of clever that I started getting these emails around right around when the third Estimated Self Employment Tax payment was due (September 16). If you check the email headers, the email is clearly not from the IRS and the link they provide also doesn't go to irs.gov.
PayPal Phishing
I recently got a spoofed email attempting to phish my PayPal account details. I think of myself as pretty adept at identifying phishing emails but this one came at just the right time. This email came from PayPal's abuse department, indicating that there was some recent suspicious activity on my account and provided a link where I could log in and presumably verify my information.
OMG, I Won the Euromillones Spanish Lottery! (SCAM)
I've Hit the Jackpot
I'm announcing my retirement – it's only $715,950 but I think I can stretch that and bum around for a decade. Okay, I'm kidding. The other day I got a piece of mail (direct mail, NOT email) that came from Spain (I'm not sure, but definitely somewhere in Europe). There's no return address and I thought… that's weird, I don't know anyone in Europe.

Substantially more budget cuts, income generation and "other savings" are still needed to balance the books, the chief executive of Lancaster City Council has said.
The council has just released its Statement of Accounts for 2016/17, set against a background of "continuing significant financial challenges", due to central government funding reductions, cost pressures within services and continued volatility in respect of business rates income.
The statement said this position is likely to continue until at least 2020/21, in particular in respect of government funding, which will see Revenue Support Grant dropping from £2.652m in 2016/17 to nil by 2020/21.
Whilst the Council has a balanced budget for 2017/18 without drawing on Balances, the prospects for the following three years (2018-2021) are not as healthy.
The council's General Fund budget for 2016/17 – income and expenditure associated with the day to day running of all the services that the Council provides, with the exception of council housing – was originally approved in March 2016 at £16.803m.
Between 2015/16 and 2016/17 the General Fund budget reduced by £794,000 or five per cent, primarily as a result of government funding reductions.
The council recorded a net underspending on its Housing Revenue Account for 2016/17 of £112,000 (£348,000 in 2015/16), with unallocated balances now standing at £1.937m (£1.437m above the recently updated £500,000 minimum recommended level).
Susan Parsonage, Lancaster City Council's chief executive, said: "Although the council's General Fund budget and associated Government funding reduced again in 2016/17, it managed those reductions well and achieved a small underspend due to the prudent approach it continues to pursue.
"However, given likely funding prospects, the council must continue to reduce its costs and increase income wherever possible - substantially more efficiencies, income generation and other savings are still needed.
"By 2020/21 the council will need to have identified savings of just over £2.1m and a range of options is being developed to meet these requirements.
"Although more work is still needed, the emphasis will be placed on taking a creative, efficient and pro-active approach to serving the district."
A spokesman for the city council said that it is too early to say what form "efficiencies and savings" might take, and that proposals for next year's budget would become available in the autumn/winter of this year.

Review for Dissolution by Lee S. Hawke
Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of the book for a fair and balanced review.
The short version: Inventive and interesting dystopian setting, good story. Description sometimes a bit confusing, but plot makes up for it. Payoff is surprisingly thought provoking. And sweet glory hallelujah it's a YA novel without a love triangle. You should read it just for that.

The following form allows you to view linux man pages.
#include <stdio.h>
extern FILE *stdin;
extern FILE *stdout;
extern FILE *stderr;
Under normal circumstances every UNIX program has three streams opened
for it when it starts up, one for input, one for output, and one for
printing diagnostic or error messages. These are typically attached to
the user's terminal (see tty(4) but might instead refer to files or
other devices, depending on what the parent process chose to set up.
(See also the "Redirection" section of sh(1).)
The input stream is referred to as "standard input"; the output stream
is referred to as "standard output"; and the error stream is referred
to as "standard error". These terms are abbreviated to form the sym-
bols used to refer to these files, namely stdin, stdout, and stderr.
Each of these symbols is a stdio(3) macro of type pointer to FILE, and
can be used with functions like fprintf(3) or fread(3).
Since FILEs are a buffering wrapper around UNIX file descriptors, the
same underlying files may also be accessed using the raw UNIX file
interface, that is, the functions like read(2) and lseek(2).
On program startup, the integer file descriptors associated with the
streams stdin, stdout, and stderr are 0, 1, and 2, respectively. The
preprocessor symbols STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, and STDERR_FILENO are
defined with these values in <unistd.h>. (Applying freopen(3) to one
of these streams can change the file descriptor number associated with
the stream.)
Note that mixing use of FILEs and raw file descriptors can produce
unexpected results and should generally be avoided. (For the masochis-
tic among you: POSIX.1, section 8.2.3, describes in detail how this
interaction is supposed to work.) A general rule is that file descrip-
tors are handled in the kernel, while stdio is just a library. This
means for example, that after an exec(3), the child inherits all open
file descriptors, but all old streams have become inaccessible.
Since the symbols stdin, stdout, and stderr are specified to be macros,
assigning to them is nonportable. The standard streams can be made to
refer to different files with help of the library function freopen(3),
specially introduced to make it possible to reassign stdin, stdout, and
stderr. The standard streams are closed by a call to exit(3) and by
normal program termination.
The stdin, stdout, and stderr macros conform to C89 and this standard
also stipulates that these three streams shall be open at program
csh(1), sh(1), open(2), fopen(3), stdio(3)

Photo Credit: AP We're down to the last brushstrokes in this Mariners managerial search and could know something in the next 48 hours or so. Chip Hale had his final interview with the Mariners today for their vacant manager's spot. The Oakland Athletics bench coach came up to Seattle for that final chat with Mariners brass. Lloyd McClendon, who managed the Pirates from 2001-2005, then served as hitting coach for the Detroit Tigers during a playoff-filled run, interviewed up here yesterday. McClendon flew home to Chicago this morning and I chatted with him briefly about it this afternoon. Joey Cora was interviewed by the team last Wednesday and is currently at home in Miami. There are no plans to make him come up to Seattle for a second set of interviews. Nor are there plans for Rick Renteria, the bench coach for the San Diego Padres, to come up to Seattle either. Renteria is recovering from hip surgery at his California home and can't travel. In Cora's case, the former bench coach for Ozzie Guillen in Chicago and Miami is well-known to the Mariners and their higher-ups by now. That leaves Tim Wallach, the Dodgers third base coach and longtime Montreal Expos star third baseman, as far as remaining interview candidates. Once the Mariners get done with Wallach — likely tomorrow — they will be able to name their manager as early as Wednesday or Thursday. The Mariners want their field boss in-place by week's end because the GM and owners meetings start next week in Orlando and it would be nice to have a sense of who will be running things in the dugout before trade talks begin. This decision really shouldn't take much longer. After all, the Tigers saw Jim Leyland pull a surprise retirement announcement after the ALCS was done and already named his replacement — Brad Ausmus — this morning. The Mariners were one of the teams looking at Ausmus, but clearly, he preferred Detroit. As for the remaining Mariners candidates, McClendon is the only one with prior managerial experience. Hale is a guy the Mariners have looked at extensively before. Wallach is considered a "star" amongst rising potential managerial candidates. Cora has knocked on this door before. Renteria is a relatively unknown candidate compared to the rest, but seems to have made an impression. The timing of his hip surgery could have been better, but we'll see. Comments

Supermarket Scramble
In what's already one of the skinniest cities in the world, New York's Mayor Bloomberg is pushing to give poorer neighborhoods access to healthy foods. The City Planning Commission decided Wednesday to offer zoning and tax incentives to full-service grocery stores that devote shelf space to fresh foods like produce, meat and dairy. The objective is to give low-income areas access to healthy foods so residents don't spend grocery money on chips and soda from CVS. Bravo Bloomberg! Everyone should have access to an apple in the big one. Right?Read Full Story

By the gods… Romans everywhere! Legions within legions… We are doomed!!
Um, no, seriously, this isn't about Romans.
[Trigger alert: this blog-thing will be about sexual abuse, amongst other things]
Hello. It's been a little while, as I've been busy sorting some things out. So… no Romans, I'm afraid, though that would have been fun, in a bronzy, leathery sort of way. No, this is about romance. Specifically, it's about (cutting to the chase) me trying to work out why I seem to be in love with being in love (hence the memeish title… for which pandering to modernity I deeply apologise…)
Yes, this is going to be pretty personal, but I'm really onto something here, and it helps to write these things out, and well, here we are. What is it that makes me think I'm in love with being in love? Well, a comprehensive list of the people I've been properly in love with over the last, erm, lots of years, comes to 80. To be fair, only about half a dozen of those were the true, full-on, this is going to make me die! kind of being in love. But the rest weren't just "people I fancied", they were pretty full-on experiences in their own right.
And most of these were unrequited, too, of course. In fact, only 8 of them have been requited, and they were all women (iiiinterestingggg…). Oh, did I mention that the figures come down pretty much even between women and men? They do. And there was actually one perhaps-requited on the men side of the list, since I think we were both too scared to tell each other. And of course, there are a number of people on both sides of the list whom I never told, so maybe it was requited after all, since they never told me anything either. And only one of those Death-Or-Glory Half-Dozen was ever requited.
I'm aware, by the way, of using very gender-binary language here. There are more recent people on this list who are only nominally on one side or the other – or are in fact neither. And I have no actual idea what a lot of these people's gender identities were in my more distant past. Hence I think of myself these days as polyromantic, as well as polysensual.
Okay then, that's the embarrassing part of the disclosure out of the way (really 80? really 80). What I've been asking myself is: Why do I keep falling for people in this way, and why is it so rarely requited? Well, the thing is…
I think that as a consequence of being sexual abused by my parents, I've spent my life very carefully falling for people who are not available, or not mutually attracted. Because it's safest that way. The few times I've ended up in sexual relationships (because that's what I thought I was looking for), it's been terrible, because I get scared and angry when I'm sexual.
That explains some of it, but there's more going on. While I've been trying to figure all this out, my teens have been very much on my mind. I spent almost my entire teenage years without having physical contact with anyone, and I think I did that on purpose, because it didn't feel safe. Then when I was 17, my life changed as a result of meeting someone who's now my oldest friend, and through him. a crowd of local hippy types that I fell in with – and all of a sudden I had a social life, and friends, and was (within that particular subculture, at least) for the first time in my life, somehow cool.
And then the bomb dropped. My friend's sister gave me a hug, and I immediately fell in love with her, and I added to the hardship in her life for several months (she was busy dealing with anorexia) until I let go of the infatuation part, and we managed to become proper, loving friends. She was the first person I ever really loved, and she died in a fire, aged 17, three years after we met.
I think I keep on looking for that safe love. And it's possible, now that I've realised I'm essentially asexual, that I'll eventually find it with somebody similarly asexual – because that's what it would take.
I started writing this a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still unsure about posting it; but it feels significant to me, for other people living with the consequences of abuse, to tell this story.
Since I've come to terms with my asexuality, and more recently since I've begun making more sense of this romantic compulsion I seem to have, I've been able to sit more lightly to it. It's not like the habit of a lifetime is going to stop all of a sudden. It happened to me only yesterday, and that after I'd been joking that it was one of the things I'd have to watch out for yesterday… I spent the afternoon doing improvisational harmony singing with some other women in a house in the country, and I fell for one of them. Gorgeous, Canadian, musical, lesbian, happily committed to someone already. So it goes.
I know that singing makes me very open emotionally, so I was prepared for the possibility of falling for someone (it's happened this way before – I met my friend-belovèd at a singing workshop, and fell for her in exactly the same way, though way worse… and now we're great friends). So I'm feeling the sadness of this, but at the same time I'm able to feel a gentle smiling compassion for this part of me that just wants safe intimacy with someone, and has been too scared to ask for it in the past, and has ended up with unsafe intimacy (or none) instead.
The one thing that gives me more satisfaction than almost anything, lately, is the knowledge that I'm now someone who knows what she wants, and is able to say it out loud, and even to ask for it. I don't always get what I want, but it's very satisfying nevertheless to ask. And often, I do get what I want. Or I get what I need. Often enough. Everything the collective that is me has done in this life has been worth it, just to get to this point.
Oh, what the fuck, we all deserve this to end with…
