4 Dying Nuke Plants vs. Fleet of Gigafactories: Which Will Gov. Cuomo Choose?
By Harvey Wasserman and Tim Judson
Elon Musk's SolarCity is completing the construction of its "Buffalo Billion" Gigafactory for photovoltaic (PV) cells near the Niagara River in Buffalo, New York. It will soon put 500 New Yorkers to work inside the 1.2 million-square-foot facility with another 700 nearby, ramping up to nearly 3,000 over the next few years.
Elon Musk Tweets Offer to Fix Australia's Energy Crisis in 100 Days
Tesla boss and prolific tweeter Elon Musk has made an audacious bet to solve South Australia's energy woes by building a 100-megawatt battery storage farm. If the system is not operational in 100 days, the AUD$33 million (USD$25 million) technology will be provided for free.
It all started on Thursday when Atlassian CEO and Australian billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes tweeted an article to Musk that cited a similar offer from Lyndon Rive, who heads Tesla's battery division.

Tesla Flips Switch on Gigafactory to Accelerate World's Transition to Renewable Energy
Elon Musk's Master Plan to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy is becoming reality. Tesla and Panasonic have officially kicked off the mass production of lithium-ion battery cells at the massive Gigafactory outside Sparks, Nevada.
Can Elon Musk Influence Trump to Take Climate Action?
Even though Elon Musk once said that Donald Trump "doesn't seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States," the Tesla/SpaceX CEO is joining the president-elect's Strategic and Policy Forum, an advisory board for the president on business issues.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi were also named as strategic advisors on Wednesday.
"My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland," Trump said in a statement announcing the latest appointees.
Other high-profile CEOs on the 19-member Strategic and Policy Forum include Mary Barra of General Motors, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase & Co, Bob Iger of The Walt Disney Company, among others. The forum will be chaired by Stephen A. Schwarzman, who heads the investment firm Blackstone.
Members of the group will "be called upon to meet with the president frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge as the president implements his economic agenda," a media release explained.
Musk's willingness to take part in Trump's forthcoming administration—one that's filled with climate change deniers and fossil fuel barons, at that—is admittedly a head-scratcher. Similar questions were raised when Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore met with Trump and his daughter Ivanka. The Tesla boss is very outspoken on climate change issues and has built a renewable energy enterprise.
Musk is also a big proponent of a carbon tax to drive investments in clean tech. We have to "remove the effective subsidy of not pricing the damage done by carbon pollution," he said last year. Also, in an appearance in DiCaprio's climate change documentary Before The Flood, Musk said, "If governments can set the rules in favor of sustainable energy, then we can get there really quickly ... Only way to do that is through a carbon tax."
Trump, in contrast, famously believes that global warming is a hoax created by and for the Chinese. The hotelier has waged wars on windmills, calling them bird killers and a blight on the view of his luxury golf courses. As for solar, Trump said the booming sector is "so expensive" and "not working so good."
The president-elect also campaigned on slashing taxes across the board, axing President Obama's emissions regulations and exiting the historic 2015 Paris climate agreement.
However, a report from Recode suggests that Musk might use his clout to push for green initiatives. As Recode reporter April Glaser writes:
"Still, it's probably in Musk's favor to work with the incoming administration, especially as it starts to shape new policies that are dear to Musk's heart, like regulations to bring self-driving cars to U.S. roadways and whether to abide by the 2015 Paris climate agreement or pull out, a threat Trump made on the campaign trail.
"That doesn't sit well with Musk, who will likely urge the Trump administration to remain a signatory on the international climate accord. Reps for Musk did not immediately respond to request for comment."
Additionally, as Glaser notes, "Musk might be able to persuade the president-elect not to renege on the Paris agreement, which already lacks strong mechanisms for enforcement."
Glaser points out that secretary of state nominee/Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson—whose company announced its support of the Paris climate agreement and acknowledges the risks of climate change—also endorsed the idea of a national carbon tax.
But as the New York Times argues, Tillerson might only support the Paris agreement and a carbon tax if it does not harm his company's bottom line.
"Will Mr. Tillerson try to persuade Mr. Trump to support the international climate accord reached in Paris? He might, but he would probably stress the importance of natural gas and methods to bury carbon emissions—policies that would not hurt fossil fuel industries," the newspaper of record writes.
After all, Exxon sells a product that fuels climate change and the company has spent years and millions of dollars funding climate change denial.
Yesterday, a number of Silicon Valley executives gathered at Trump's "tech summit" at Trump Tower in New York. The group included Musk, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Timothy D. Cook of Apple, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt of Alphabet, Google's parent company, Satya Nadella of Microsoft and more.
"I'm here to help you folks do well, and you're doing well right now and I'm very honored by 'the bounce'—they're all talking about 'the bounce' and I know everybody in this room has to like me a little bit, but we're going to try and have that bounce continue," Trump said at the summit. "Perhaps even more importantly we want you to keep going with the incredible innovation. There's nobody like you in the world. There's nobody like the people in this room."
Ta'u, an island in American Samoa, has turned its nose at fossil fuels and is now almost 100 percent powered with solar panels and batteries thanks to technology from the newly combined Tesla and SolarCity.
The microgrid is operated by American Samoa Power Authority and was funded by the American Samoa Economic Development Authority, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Interior.
Radio New Zealand reported that the $8 million project will significantly reduce fuel costs for the island, which is located more than 4,000 miles from the west coast of the U.S. Ta'u's 600 residents previously relied on shipments of diesel for power. At times, a shipment could not arrive on the island for months, meaning the island had to power ration and faced reoccurring outages.
But the new microgrid replaces this reliance on dirty fuels with more affordable solar energy, as Peter Rive, SolarCity co-founder and CTO, detailed in a blog post about the project, adding that the microgrid is designed to optimize system performance and maximize savings.
"Factoring in the escalating cost of fuel, along with transporting such mass quantities to the small island, the financial impact is substantial," Rive wrote. He pointed out that the microgrid also eliminates "the hazards of power intermittency" and makes "outages a thing of the past."
The microgrid, which only took one year to build, features 1.4 megawatts of solar generation capacity (or 5,328 solar panels) and 6 megawatt hours of battery storage from 60 Tesla Powerpacks. An estimated 109,500 gallons of diesel will be offset per year.
"Before today, every time we turned on the light, turn on the television, turn on maybe the air conditioner, all of the cash registers in China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia go 'cha-ching,' but not after today," SolarCity market development director Jon Yoshimura told Radio New Zealand. "We will keep more of that money here, where it belongs."
With the Powerpacks, the island can store solar energy at night, allowing for around-the-clock use. The microgrid allows the island to stay fully powered for three days without sunlight and can recharge to full capacity in only seven hours.
A hospital, high school and elementary schools, fire and police stations and businesses will be using the new clean energy source.
"It's always sunny out here, and harvesting that energy from the sun will make me sleep a lot more comfortably at night, just knowing I'll be able to serve my customers," local resident and business owner Keith Ahsoon told SolarCity.
"This is part of making history," Ahsoon added. "This project will help lessen the carbon footprint of the world. Living on an island, you experience global warming firsthand. Beach erosions and other noticeable changes are a part of life here. It's a serious problem, and this project will hopefully set a good example for everyone else to follow."
Ta'u could be an example for other islands around the globe facing similar problems.
"Ta'u is not a postcard from the future, it's a snapshot of what is possible right now," Rive wrote. "Renewable power is an economical, practical solution for a growing number of locations and energy needs, and islands that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels can easily transition to microgrids powered by solar and storage today."
Tesla, SolarCity Merger Approved by Shareholders
Shareholders approved the $2.6 billion bid by Tesla Motors to buy SolarCity, paving the way for the clean energy giant to become a one-stop shop for electric vehicles, rooftop solar and energy storage.
"I think your faith will be rewarded," Elon Musk said after the merger was approved by 85 percent of the company's unaffiliated shareholders.
"We can't do this well if Tesla and SolarCity are different companies, which is why we need to combine and break down the barriers inherent to being separate companies," Musk said in August when Tesla announced it closed the deal with SolarCity. "That they are separate at all, despite similar origins and pursuit of the same overarching goal of sustainable energy, is largely an accident of history. Now that Tesla is ready to scale Powerwall and SolarCity is ready to provide highly differentiated solar, the time has come to bring them together."
Next year, Tesla plans to begin rolling out the $35,000 Model 3 sedan and a new solar roof.

Musk to Put Solar Glass on Tesla Model 3, Tells DiCaprio We Must Transition From Dirty Energy
Elon Musk doesn't just want to put solar tiles on top of your house, he also wants to put them on top of your car.
According to Futurism, shortly after the enigmatic Tesla CEO unveiled his company's latest twist on rooftop solar—glass tiles integrated with solar cells—he said on a Tuesday conference call that the technology will also be used for the Model 3, the company's mass market electric sedan.
"It is using a lot of techniques used in automotive glass business. In case it wasn't obvious with the announcement, Tesla has created a glass technology group—with some really phenomenal people," Musk said on the call, basically confirming Tesla's top secret glass division.
The Model 3's all-glass roof not only allows for more headroom, its integrated solar cells also generate heat and energy. Tesla
Electrek reported that Musk will be producing "Tesla Glass" in volume since it is fairly cheap, so it makes sense to it use extensively. The publication also noted that one member of the Tesla Glass group is director Mike Pilliod, a former materials engineer for Apple who was behind innovations like the glass touchscreen.
While Musk didn't give specific details about how the solar glass would work on a car, he later tweeted that the tiles would feature heating elements that can defrost a windshield or melt snow on the car roof all while generating energy at the same time.
When asked by a Twitter user whether the tiles would be working overtime as a defroster and a generator, Musk replied that the process will be "strongly net positive," or that it will use minimal energy.
Musk has long
advocated for a sustainable transportation future, and is trying to do this with his proposed acquisition of sister company SolarCity.
As if he wasn't already all over the place, Musk made an appearance in Leonardo DiCaprio's new climate change documentary Before The Flood, and told the actor and environmental activist how we must transition from dirty energy.
"The fossil fuel industry is the biggest industry in the world," Musk told DiCaprio on the floor of his Nevada Gigafactory.
"They have more money and more influence than any other sector. The more that there can be a sort of popular uprising against that, the better, but I think the scientific fact of the matter is we are unavoidably headed towards some level of harm."
The vision behind the massive battery factory is to help the world transition to sustainable energy. In a blog post on Tuesday, the Tesla team elaborated on its mission of creating "the world's only integrated sustainable energy company, from energy generation to storage to transportation."
"This is our vision for the future—one that is sustainable, less expensive and just better," the post states. "We hope you agree that this is a future we should all want."
How Elon Musk and Tesla Can Save the World
Elon Musk unveiled solar-powered roof tiles and an upgraded PowerWall battery as he prepares for Tesla's $2.2 billion takeover of SolarCity.
During a press event at Universal Studios in LA, Musk announced that Tesla will build and sell its own line of solar panels with integrated batteries.
"We're reaching record CO2 levels," Musk said as he began his presentation. "Global warming is a serious crisis and we need to do something about that."
"We need to make solar panels as appealing as electric cars have become," Musk said as he explained his vision.
The tiles, Musk boasted, are made of textured glass integrated with solar cells and look very similar to traditional roof tiles. The solar roof would cost less than a conventional roof and could be rolled out as early as next summer.
The upgraded PowerWall 2 will allow residential homeowners to replace their entire roof with solar panels, making it much simpler for homes to be entirely powered by solar power.

Elon Musk: Tesla Network is 'The People Vs. Uber'
Here's another thing that Elon Musk is on the verge of disrupting: Ride-sharing.
The Tesla CEO is already shaking up the global automobile industry with his fleet of electric cars, but now he's taking aim at ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft by creating his own car-sharing network—the so-called "Tesla Network."
Elon Musk's new autonomous car-sharing service will allow Tesla owners to make money from their electric vehicles when they are not in use.Flickr
On an Q3 earnings call on Wednesday, Musk said that future Tesla owners will be able to make money off their cars by renting them out for ride shares by using Tesla's Autopilot feature, its famed semi-autonomous driving system.
"This would be something that would be a significant offset on the cost of ownership for a car, and a revenue generator for Tesla as well, but the majority of the revenue would go to owners," he said, according to TechCrunch.
"This has been characterized as Tesla vs. Uber," Musk added. "But it's not Tesla versus Uber, it's the people versus Uber."
Musk means that Tesla owners will not be using their car's self-driving function to give Uber or Lyft rides. Rather, Tesla owners—or "the people"—are competing directly against these companies.
Musk has seemingly confirmed the creation of the Tesla ride-sharing after retweeting TechCrunch's writeup.
Just think, if the Tesla Network actually comes to fruition, a Tesla owner can make money by giving autonomous rides to the public while he or she is at work or on vacation. Instead of taking up space in a parking spot, the car can help ferry people from A to B.
However you feel about autonomous vehicles (here are some pros and cons) this nascent technology can be environmentally friendly.
"The key benefit of a self-driving vehicles is greater fuel efficiency," as EcoWatch's Dan Zukowski wrote recently. "The computer can drive better than you can. It will drive at a steady speed, will avoid jackrabbit starts and won't exceed the speed limit. Ultimately, a preponderance of autonomous vehicles could reduce traffic congestion by communicating with each other and traveling together in a controlled caravan. Car-sharing and carpooling make for more efficient use of roadways, vehicles and infrastructure devoted to parking."
Musk actually proposed his ride-sharing network idea back in July in his "Master Plan, Part Deux." He wrote:
"When true self-driving is approved by regulators, it will mean that you will be able to summon your Tesla from pretty much anywhere. Once it picks you up, you will be able to sleep, read or do anything else enroute to your destination.
"You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work or on vacation, significantly offsetting and at times potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost. This dramatically lowers the true cost of ownership to the point where almost anyone could own a Tesla. Since most cars are only in use by their owner for 5% to 10% of the day, the fundamental economic utility of a true self-driving car is likely to be several times that of a car which is not.
"In cities where demand exceeds the supply of customer-owned cars, Tesla will operate its own fleet, ensuring you can always hail a ride from us no matter where you are."
Also on yesterday's earnings call, Tesla Motors reported its first quarterly net profit in more than three years. According to Fortune, Tesla posted a net income of $21.9 million and total revenue more than doubled to $2.30 billion.
"Record deliveries helped to offset rising expenses related to next year's roll-out of the company's mass-market Model 3 sedan," Forbes wrote.
Musk said the company could turn a profit again in the fourth quarter. Reuters noted that Tesla's positive earnings report should calm skeptics who have criticized the automaker's plans to acquire solar panel sister company SolarCity.
SolarCity Will Pay Airbnb Hosts $1,000 to Go Solar
Airbnb hosts now have a major incentive to go solar. The home-sharing giant and SolarCity announced a new promotion today that will offer hosts up to $1,000 cash back if they install the solar company's panels.
The rebate is available to Airbnb hosts in the 19 states where SolarCity currently operates. Homeowners can choose the solar option that works best for their homes. The $1,000 offer is valid through March 31, 2017, after which it drops to $750 for the rest of the calendar year.
It was also announced today that new and current SolarCity customers who become Airbnb hosts will also get a $100 credit for a stay at an Airbnb property when they travel.
"Since 1998 we have had 15 of the 16 hottest years recorded and climate change is changing the way we make decisions—everyone is thinking about making better use of what we have," said Chris Lehane, Airbnb's head of global public policy and communications. "Travelers, especially millennials, want a more sustainable choice and homeowners want to make better use of the 13 million empty houses and 36 million empty bedrooms in the United States alone."
Travel can be an extremely carbon- and energy-intensive activity. Airbnb believes that staying at one of their rentals is better for the environment than staying at a typical hotel.
"Cleantech Group estimated that the average Airbnb guest night results in 61 percent less CO2 emissions as compared to a night in a hotel," Lehane said. The group also found that Airbnb travelers in the U.S. have saved 4.2 billions liters of water and cut back on greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to keeping 560,000 cars off the road for a year.
"At the same time, Airbnb is an economic empowerment tool for hosts who can use their homes—typically their greatest expense—to share space and generate a little extra money to pay the bills," Lehane added.
Lehane explained on a press call today that the partnership makes sense because both SolarCity customers and Airbnb users tend to look for ways to lower their environmental footprint, TechCrunch reported.
Toby Corey, president of global sales and customer experience at SolarCity, said that the new partnership "will create the first opportunity for many Airbnb guests to stay in a solar-powered home, and allow them to experience first-hand how easy it is to use clean energy to contribute to a cleaner, healthier society."
SolarCity says that its solar systems offset an estimated 150 metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution over its lifetime.
According to TechCrunch, Corey explained that since most of SolarCity's customers opt for the zero money down financing plan for installations, the $1,000 credit will be applied to their payback, reducing the overall repayment period.
The new partnership comes right before a shareholder vote on SolarCity's multibillion dollar merger with electric car company Tesla.
Tesla CEO and SolarCity chairman Elon Musk has an ambitious plan, dubbed Master Plan, Part Deux, of vertically integrating his two companies to seamlessly sell SolarCity's rooftop solar systems with Tesla's batteries.
Elon Musk Slams Coal Baron: Challenges Him to 'Go to Zero' With Taxpayer Subsidies
Elon Musk has snapped back at major coal-mining boss Robert Murray on Twitter, calling the Murray Energy Corp. CEO a "fraud" for denying climate change.
In Elon Musk's "Master Plan Part Deux," he writes, "Given that we must get off fossil fuels anyway and that virtually all scientists agree that dramatically increasing atmospheric and oceanic carbon levels is insane, the faster we achieve sustainability, the better."Flickr
Musk, who is fully venturing into the renewable energy sector with his proposed SolarCity merger, also brought up the enormous subsidies the coal industry receives. He suggested that both companies compete without any taxpayer help.
"How about we both go to zero?" Musk tweeted.
The beef started when Murray appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box on Monday and accused Tesla of taking $2 billion from taxpayers and yet "has not made a penny yet in cash flow."
"Tesla is a fraud," Murray ranted.
Murray, an
ardent Donald Trump supporter, said that Tesla benefits from subsidies from energy policies supported by Hillary Clinton. According to Murray, the Democratic presidential nominee is "supporting her friends," or wealthy individuals such as Musk, Warren Buffett and the Pritzkers, with subsidies that have "nothing to do with supporting the environment."
Murray then threw in his two cents about coal's effect on climate.
"By the way, you could close down every coal-fired plant in the United States today, and you would not affect the temperature of the Earth at all," he said.
This is
not the first time Musk has attacked fossil fuel subsidies. In May, he urged people "to revolt against the propaganda of the fossil fuel industry which is unrelenting and enormous."
"The fundamental issue with fossil fuels is ... every use of fossil fuels comes with a subsidy," Musk said.
The Tesla honcho said that cheap oil and gasoline prices not only prevent drivers from switching their gas-guzzlers to electric cars, it also deters the fight against climate change.
CNBC pointed out that renewables actually get far more direct federal financial support for electricity production:
"In 2013, electricity production and federal utilities that rely on coal received $1.08 billion in direct cash outlays through federal programs, tax benefits, research and development funding, loans and guarantees, the [Energy Information Administration] found. That amounted to 6 percent of such funding. In the same year, electricity production from renewables received $15.04 billion in funding from the same sources—or 72 percent of federal support of that kind. Wind accounted for about 39 percent of the renewables subsidies, and solar attracted 35 percent."
Still, it's no surprise that Murray, the founder of the largest privately held coal company in the U.S., is speaking out against energy alternatives. Murray has filed multiple lawsuits against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over carbon regulations that he said would permanently destroy the coal industry.
And as
Bloomberg wrote, "seismic changes in energy policy and competition from natural gas have pummeled coal miners, leading to bankruptcies and record production cuts ... Murray Energy announced earlier this summer that it was considering cutting more than 4,000 jobs, accounting for about 80 percent of its workforce, amid weak coal prices."
Here he is on Fox Business railing against Clinton's energy policies.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, Jan. 28, 2018 – Inspirational saxophonist Tony Craddock, Jr. will release his new single "Sunrise (Remix)" on digital streaming platforms on Feb. 1, with the single going for adds on smooth jazz radio stations on Feb. 4. "Sunrise (Remix)" is a radiant song of hope and fatherly love, dedicated to his one-year old daughter Natalie.
"My daughter's birth ushered a new chapter into my life, just as the light of a sunrise signals a new day," says Craddock. "A child is born full of hope, seeing the best in the world. I want to view the world with the same innocent hope as Natalie, while helping her preserve that hope."
"Sunrise (Remix)" was written by Craddock, and produced by chart-topping jazz guitarist Ken Navarro and Craddock. The remix is an instrumental of the original lyrical song, which appeared on Craddock's latest album H2O. Craddock leads the remix with a passionate alto sax, as his warm soprano sax doubles during the choruses and provides fills throughout the song. The duality creates the lovely vibe of a conversation between Craddock and his daughter.
"Sunrise (Remix)" is the second single from H2O, also produced by Navarro. The lead single "Living Water" (featuring Navarro) reached the RadioWave Smooth Jazz Top 40 and landed on the Billboard Smooth Jazz New & Active list, falling shy of the Billboard Top 30 by one spot.
Tony Craddock, Jr.'s discovery of smooth jazz on The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s" at age eight led him to the saxophone and eventually to Cornell University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. Now, he uplifts listeners with music that connects his inspirational messages with emotions people experience from the weather, reaching more than 20,000 monthly listeners through Spotify and other streaming platforms. Craddock has released three albums, H2O, Convection and Christmas in the Air; is an official artist-endorser of the Fiberreed and is the bandleader of Tony Craddock, Jr. & Cold Front.

Pullover: Anthropologie | Skirt: Anthropologie | Heels: Steve Madden
It's already Wednesday…I had this past weekend off {which was amazing} but I didn't get a single thing accomplished; this is beginning to be a sad trend here for me. I got to check out Union Market, Eastern Market, and went to a Food event, EmporiYUM on Saturday which was very cool. On Sunday, I went to church and brunch with my sister, and then we went to the National Mall to walk around. I always love going to the monuments, and I have so much admiration and respect for everyone who has served and is serving in the military to keep us safe. I'm heartbroken by recent events in the world, but I'm praying God gives our leaders wisdom and for everyone in Paris.

The Basel-based pharmaceutical company Novartis has come to an agreement with the management of the US firm The Medicines Company with regard to a takeover. The deal is expected to be closed at the start of 2020 for a total of 9.7 billion US dollars.
The biopharmaceutical firm The Medicines Company has developed a drug candidate in the form of inclisiran to reduce cholesterol levels. At the moment, it is in clinical phase III, as outlined in a press release issued by Novartis. If the drug candidate receives authorization, it would be the first of its kind. According to the press release, Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan expects that the drug could fundamentally change treatments for certain cardiovascular diseases. Tens of millions of patients are affected by diseases of this kind. For this reason, Novartis is planning to acquire The Medicines Company. The Novartis management has reached an agreement with the Board of Directors of The Medicines Company, which is headquartered in the US state of New Jersey, on an acquisition price of 85 US dollars per share, which comes to an overall transaction volume of 9.7 billion dollars. The takeover is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
"Novartis has a long-standing history of delivering breakthrough cardiovascular treatments for patients, and I am very excited about the opportunity to add inclisiran to our cardiovascular portfolio", commented Marie-France Tschudin, President, Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
The Medicines Company is planning to submit authorization applications for inclisiran by the end of this year in the USA and by early 2020 in Europe. Following authorization, the drug would generate earnings for Novartis from 2021 onwards. Moreover, expanding this portfolio would enable Novartis to leverage its core commercial capabilities both in the USA and globally too.

Check against delivery.
Thank you very much Prime Minister (Massimov), Minister (Idrissov). Thank you first of all for having invited me and hosted me today in Astana for two things that to me are extremely important.
One is the very intense and fruitful day of meetings we have had with all our friends and colleagues from the other Central Asian republics to work concretely on our joint regional cooperation.
The other is the opportunity to strengthen our political – and not only political - bilateral relations, the opportunity to meet with you Prime Minister, to exchange at length with you on all the challenges but also opportunities we have in front of us when it comes to the European Union-Kazakhstan relationship and the important signature we just had.
There are three signs that I see as indicating that what we have just signed is something very important.
The first one is the presence in the room of many, if not all the European Union Ambassadors here in Astana. I think that signifies the strength of the European Union's commitment not only to the signature, but also to the follow-up of the agreement.
The second sign is that I see both negotiating teams happy and smiling not only because they are probably relieved by the fact that they do not need to negotiate any longer a very complex agreement, but also this signifies I think the fact that we reached a very important agreement and positive agreement on both sides, which is the basis for having a good implementation and a sustainable future for the agreement itself.
I would like to join you in thanking both negotiating teams for the excellent and the hard work they did in these years.
The third element that makes me think that what we have done is really very important for all of us is the scope of the agreement that, as you mentioned, covers a variety of issues: very diverse among each other, all very important for our people - for the everyday life of our people, both in the European Union and here in Kazakhstan. And the fact that Kazakhstan is the first of our Central Asian partners having this new generation agreement with the European Union, so is somehow leading the way for possible developments in the future in the region.
As you remembered, both our political and our economic ties are already very important, very strong, especially the European Union being the first investor in the country, but I am convinced that, and I think we are all convinced, that this Agreement represents a significant boost to our economic and political ties, in this way also preparing the ground for something more relevant for the whole region.
For sure, the Agreement will serve to promote mutual trade and investments but it also puts a strong emphasis on democracy and the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and sustainable development as well as civil society cooperation. I am convinced that it will provide us with good instruments to improve our relations on all the different issues that it covers.
Let me conclude by expressing our support for the reform agenda that you have initiated both with the five institutional reforms and the one-hundred concrete steps, and also with my congratulations in the name of all the European Union for your WTO membership that has just translated into the participation of your representative to the important and successful negotiations in Nairobi together with a lot of colleagues including the European Union Commissioner Malmström just a few days ago.
Let me conclude by thanking you, Prime Minister, Minister, for again the warm hospitality, regardless of the temperature outside, and wish us all a very good way ahead on the implementation of the agreement we just signed, because this is not the end of the process this is just the beginning of it.
Thank you very much.

Several providers deliver phone services that have no restrictions and great call clarity. A residential phone service is nearly useless if it isn't reliable. VoIP has become a popular phone service, but it doesn't work well without a high-speed connection to the Internet. Compare home phone service providers in Bedford, OH below.

While many businesses now use VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology for their phones, it is also available for the residential market. VoIP is different from other types of phone services as it converts voice into data that is transmitted over the Internet. Portability is one of the primary advantages of using a VoIP phone service in Bedford, OH. One can use their service anywhere a broadband Internet connection is available, which is useful for those who travel frequently, such as businesspeople.
VoIP home phone plans provide a lot more flexibility and the ability for a user to customize their service far more than what traditional phone service providers allow. This is something that individuals running a home business appreciate the most about it. One example of great flexibility offered by VoIP is that many providers allow the subscriber to choose a phone number with an area code that is different from their local area. It is also possible to have several phone numbers in different area codes, or even different countries, as well as toll-free numbers, forwarded to one phone. Many e-commerce entrepreneurs that have customers from all over the globe choose a VoIP service for this specific reason.
With a VoIP package, consumers receive a set of standard features that is usually much more generous when compared to other types of phone service available in Bedford, OH. Many service plans include caller ID, call waiting, unlimited nationwide calling, call blocking, conference calling and sometimes even unlimited calls to selected international destinations. VoIP plans are the most affordable option. Some have prices as low as $5.99 per month.
Quick DSL is the hallmark of phone service in Bedford, OH. Like traditional phone service lines, DSL uses copper wire. However, the convenience and speed of DSL distinguish it from traditional phone lines. Most consumers use a telephone service that bundles Internet service with it. The DSL provider installs a modem in the customer's home or business. With a modem, the consumer has access to the telephone line and Internet connection at the same time.
Prices vary for DSL services. A base price of $19.95 per month is not uncommon. Prices can increase for more feature packed DSL plans. One way of capping costs is for consumers to sign a contract with DSL providers guaranteeing a set monthly price. There are lots of different DSL plans that can fit most budgets, but more features may stretch the budget.
Bedford, OH DSL service offers the duality of using the Internet at the same time as using the telephone. This is markedly different from traditional services which tie up the residential phone. Consumers with dial-up services may find themselves frustrated when they need to use the telephone only to discover the computer using it. DSL service frees the telephone line allowing the consumer to use both at the same time. The must faster speed provided by DSL also makes it a better choice over traditional phone services.
DSL service does have some disadvantages. Reliability is not guaranteed. Consumer distance from the DSL provider affects how the service performs. Distances of further than 18,000 feet between the customer and the DSL provider may result in the consumer without any functional service. Periods of peak usage among the DSL provider's consumers may significantly affect the quality of the service. If a consumer relies on the service for emergencies or use during holiday periods, they may the lack of reliability disappointing.
Traditional home phone services are also known as landline services. They have been in the market for a very long time. A device that connects to a jack in the user's home and underground wires facilitate landline connections in Bedford, OH. Traditional home phone services have been the most popular home service in the region. However, advancement in technology means that more people are moving towards wireless telephone connections and other options.
Traditional landline services have managed to stay in the market because they provide a stable connection and have high clarity. However, landline services have two major setbacks. They are immobile. Consumers can only use their landline service at one place. They cannot move it to their workplaces or the store. Traditional phone services are not cost-effective as other forms of residential home services. On average, landline services may cost approximately $49.99 per month.
Among the many options for home phone service in Bedford, OH, wireless service is perhaps the most popular one. The mobility of this option is the reason why it is so popular. Wireless services can be either billed or prepaid depending on the carrier and the plan chosen. There is certainly no shortage of wireless phone service providers in Bedford, OH, so it is important that you consider the pricing and features each offers. You should also do your research regarding each provider's network reliability so you do not find yourself dealing with dropped calls and insufficient network coverage. Among the many features that are often include in wireless phone plans are caller ID and voicemail, as well as the ability to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for times when you need internet service on the go. You can compare cell phone plans in Bedford, OH using Wirefly.
By far, the most popular reason consumers choose wireless phone services is the mobility it provides. Whether you are running errands or traveling across the country, you are able to make calls easily with wireless service. The higher prices associated with wireless phone services can sometimes be prohibitive, however. While the average monthly cost of a wireless phone plan with unlimited minutes is around $50, choosing additional features can significantly increase the monthly cost. Another disadvantage is that reliability can be an issue at times, and signals may not be available in certain areas.

Business intelligence (BI) is the usage of computing applied sciences for the identification, discovery and analysis of business data – like sales revenue, merchandise, prices and incomes. An example of a Enterprise Intelligence System that can be personalized for particular person financial improvement firm's wants is Executive Pulse. Enterprise intelligence distributors could also be better off just making sure their Web applications work well on Safari operating on the IPad than spending time growing iPad specific applications.
But most customers – especially customers of business instruments as opposed to toys – are extra interested within the content of the application than in fancy interaction methods. There are quite a few enterprise intelligence instruments and software program for implementing extremely developed business logics in your group.
But while some BI instruments is likely to be getting easier to make use of by extra folks in the enterprise, they won't exchange the heavy-responsibility instruments, IDC's Vesset careworn. Business Intelligence Database Methods offer a variety of solutions for communities, regions and states who wish to maximize the return on funding from their retention and growth packages.
But all that has modified now with operational enterprise intelligence and knowledge warehousing being interconnected. The idea of business intelligence has existed since ages for achieving lengthy-time period organizational objectives by looking at tendencies and patterns, multi-dimensional analysis and so forth.
This multiyear shift of focus from IT-led reporting to enterprise-led self-service analytics passed the tipping point in 2016, which has forced a new perspective on the definition of a BI and analytics platform, and consequently, has considerably re-ordered the seller panorama as represented within the Magic Quadrant.

EU Humanitarian Visa touted as part of solution to improve asylum-seeker flows
A visa granting asylum seekers international protection could help regulate flows of asylum seekers into the European Union.

A visa granting asylum seekers international protection could help regulate flows of asylum seekers into the European Union
A legislative initiative calling for a "European Humanitarian Visa" will be up for a vote in the European Parliament's civil liberties committee today (10 October).
If introduced, the visa would be available at EU consulates and embassies abroad and would allow asylum-seekers to enter the member state issuing the visa with the sole purpose of receiving international protection.
- U2's Bono in European Parliament to shine light on Africa issues
- Next EU budget must include 'Marshall Plan for Africa', says Tajani
- Eleonora Forenza explains why EU trade agreements must include gender chapters.
- Maurice Ponga: Supporting girls' education is crucial
- Neven Mimica: Violence against women is everyone's issue
- Linda McAvan: EU must continue to build on progress made
An estimated 90 percent of those granted international protection in member states have come to the EU via "irregular means."
"This is designed to help better manage the flow of asylum seekers into the EU, tackle human smuggling and also reduce the horrendous death toll of people who drown en route to Europe from Africa," a parliamentary source said.
If, as expected, the committee backs the move, the European Commission will be urged to introduce such visas "as a matter of urgency," the source added.
Parliament President Antonio Tajani, speaking recently at European Development Days, said the EU had "to work with our African partners to address the root causes of migration flows."
He called for a "true Marshall Plan" in the next EU budget in order to attract investment, infrastructure and to develop an industrial base "while creating hope and prospects for the next generations."
Tajani said that investing in the empowerment of women and girls by promoting their access to education, finance, jobs, political and social leadership were essential levers for both economic growth and the fight against abuse and social exclusion.
"By galvanising population segments most affected by climate change, the foundations for a more fair and equitable society will be laid," he added.

Our intention is to point children to Christ throughout the day. Kindergarten classes are limited to 18 students and an instructional aide is present throughout the day.
We seek to align our Kindergarten Program with the Oregon Department of Education standards. Classes offer literacy centers, featuring Kid Writing and Lucy Calkins curriculum. American Sign Language adds a kinesthetic element to our pre-reading program. Math instruction will cover patterns, number concepts, comparisons, and measurements through the Math Their Way curriculum. Bible is taught daily.
Each week students participate in Music, Computers, Art, Spanish, and Physical Education instructed by specialists in that subject area. All classes attend the Library and also have a weekly Chapel program.
Bringing Life to Learning in a developmentally appropriate way is the cornerstone in all that we do. Teachers nurture students and give individualized attention through hands-on activities, interactive centers, and kid-centric manipulatives. Group circle times also foster community building and social skills.
Kindergarten teachers partner and design their curriculum so that all Kindergartners are prepared for first grade. Core curriculum is planned during weekly team meetings so that all students are equally exposed to content. The Kindergarten day also includes lunch time, dramatics, arts and crafts, recess, social studies and science enrichment.

- Stupid Good: The Deep Space 9 crew, even Sisko, start to drift into this in later season. "Oh noes, let's not kill off the genocidal changelings, that's so wrong", among other fallacies.
This is a poor example of Stupid Good. When Garak wants to bomb the Changelings in "Broken Link," he's stopped because it would get everyone killed (he would kill those on the surface, including Odo—who they are there to prevent from dying—and then the Jem'hadar would destroy the Defiant). It's supposed to be a little morally ambiguous, but Garak isn't a Starfleet captain and nobody trusts him. They are obviously not going to let him get everyone killed. With the Section 31 virus, they still aren't helping out the Great Link. They have moral objections to the genocidal nature because although the Changelings are genocidal, they are not the Changelings (having a moral compass does not equate to Stupid Good). Plus, their search for a cure is only for Odo's sake and Sisko actually orders him not to tell the Dominion. Odo isn't happy about it for obvious reasons, and his decision to cure the female Changeling is a unilateral one (which nobody in the room is happy about until it's over and she agrees to surrender).Hide/Show Replies
I hear ya there, but there was more to it than just that. They have objections to more than just the morphogenic virus. Like when S Loan conspired to kill a wishy washy Romulan Senator and replace her with a Federation Operative. Or when Sisko punches Garak for what he did in "In The Pale Moonlight", or when they were complicit with letting Laas go, even though he was proving just as hostile to Solids as the Founders (in all fairness, he probably died of the morphogenic virus, since he linked with Odo, but I doubt they knew that).
I understand the concept of not sacrificing your principles, but when faced with an overwhelming enough threat, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. Also note, I'm not saying they're full on stupid good, only that they have shades of it.
I think it has a lot to do with If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him with Section 31's actions. Laas was also a lone Changeling and it was just Kira who let him go, which was for Odo's sake since Laas wanted to find the other changelings from the Hundred (rather than joining the Founders) and have as little to do with solids as possible. Perhaps till unwise, but she was doing it out of love for Odo than a Stupid Good reason (like hoping he'd make a nicer version of the Founders or not wanting the Klingons to kill him).
If you do want to add a Stupid Good, I think the Pale Moonlight incident you mentioned would be the better one, since Garak thoroughly and mercilessly rips it apart as soon as he gets up. The bit with the Romulan Senator would also work well since both Admiral Ross and Sloan are able to easily manipulate Julian into getting what they want and Julian doesn't even suspect Ross' involvement until it's too late (that episode is basically about Bashir being Stupid Good).
Well it's hinted, but not confirmed that Sisko knew what they were doing with Laas, either way, I've always had a serious problem with If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him, as it comes off to me as a subtrope of Stupid Good. Still, I'll agree that the Moonlight one is a better example, as it's more clear cut. Agreed?
Yeah, it can be sometimes, but it really depends on what the writer thinks that trope is (in this case it's If You Kill Him You Will Be Much More Like Him Than You Want To Consider But What Choice Do You Have). But yeah, adding the Moonlight example sounds fine.

Dahl's property located in the city's industrial lot has been a health and safety concern since October 2011. According to a report from Custer County Health, the building was to be closed in order to not allow access by rodents or other vermin. In order to further remedy the public heath nuisance occurring on the property, the piles of miscellaneous junk that could provide harborage for rodents, vermin or any other source for public filth or disease were to be removed.

Day 35 was the last day of the first week of Ruby! I learned a lot this week, not just about Ruby and Rails, but also about strategic app architecture. Being able to compare and contrast Ruby/Rails, and Python/Django along the way has been really helpful for me when it comes to seeing the big picture of web development. Plus, while here at the Dojo they say that Continue reading

Day 33 – Controllers and Views
Today marked the end of playtime in the console with the database and Active Record. Seeing as I'd gotten Rails models and ORM queries pretty much down, it was time to integrate with controllers and views. Rails is really nice in that you can generate so many pieces of the project with single line commands Continue reading
Day 32 – Models and Queries with Active Record
Today started out with more recursive algorithms! I'm really liking recursion. The recursive versions of these old algorithms that we had been writing with for loops are coming out looking so much cleaner! For example, Continue reading
Day 31 – First Day of Ruby

Another day, another chunk of Doodle Drive functionality complete. Armando and I made some great progress today on core MVP features. I wish I had taken a picture of our project whiteboard because our "Done" column is really filling out nicely. Continue reading
Day 26 – Python Project Week Day 1
Yesterday was the official start of project week. There's only one other group working on a project besides me and Armando this time around. On Friday we had a Project Week vote again and everyone decided on Etsy for the target clone to create. So the other project week group is going to be building Etsy with the MEAN stack. Etsy is a nice site, but I'm glad that I started early and got to pick Google Drive instead. I'm betting Continue reading

Greylist is a milter plugin written in Python that implements the greylist filtering method proposed by Evan Harris. It works by assuming that, spam engines will not retry sending their junk mail on a temporary error. The idea is to reject mail on a first attempt and then accept it after some time has elapsed. According to the SMTP specification, properly configured mail server should attempt to retry a delivery if it receives an temporary failure code.
Download the sources (here) and extract by typing:
> mkdir dnsbl > cd dnsbl > tar -xzf pygreylist-1.0.0.tgz > ls -l milter unbound-src
Configure and compile unbound:
> cd unbound-src > ./configure --with-pyunbound > make > cd ../milter
Install sendmail and necessary packages:
> sudo apt-get install sendmail libmilter-dev python-milter
Run sendmail:
> /etc/init.d/sendmail start
Check /var/log/mail.log, the log-file should not contain any errors. If you find error "unable to qualify my own ...", you have to edit /etc/hosts and add line like this:
127.0.0.1 test.local. test
Now, you have to setup milter plugin. Edit configuration file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add these lines:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`pythonfilter',`S=local:/var/run/pythonfilter.sock,F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `pythonfilter')dnl
Update sendmail.cf and restart sendmail service:
> make -C /etc/mail > /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
Run milter-filter by typing:
> make testenv > sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./unbound python milter-filter.py -vvv
Make will create test environment (copies unbound library and python libraries to unbound subdirectory).
Open new shell and test whether the filtr works:
> telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. 220 test.local. ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3/Debian-4; Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:44:46 +0100 > HELO test 250 test.local. Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you > MAIL FROM: firstname.lastname@example.com 250 2.1.0 email@example.com... Sender ok > RCPT TO: firstname.lastname@example.com 451 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come back later > RCPT TO: email@example.com 451 4.7.1 Greylisting still in action, please come back later (273 secs) > RCPT TO: email@example.com 451 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come back later quit 221 2.0.0 test.local. closing connection Connection closed by foreign host.
Milter-filter should print debug messages, if not, check /var/log/mail.log for errors.
Milter-filter can be configured by editing milter-filter.py.
Usage: milter-filter.py [options] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -n FILTERNAME, --name=FILTERNAME specifies milter filter name -s SOCKET, --socket=SOCKET specifies milter socket -v, --verbose increase verbosity -a DNSBLS, --addbl=DNSBLS add DNSBL service (e.g. -a dnsbl.sorbs.net)
Set plugin option
Available options:
filtername - (string) identification of milter plugin (default value is "pyfilter"),
socket - (string) socket path which uses mail server to communication with plugin (default value is "/var/run/pythonfilter.sock")
debugfile - (string) path to file for unbound debug messages. None switch the debug messages off.
verb - (integer) verbosity. Possible values: VERB_ERRORS_ONLY - print errors only, VERB_ERRORS_WARNINGS - print errors and warnings, VERB_INFOS- print everything (suitable for debuging)
cachedb - (string) path to sqlite database which keeps greylist informations. Default value is ":memory:", this means, the sqlite allocates DB in memory. If you will use a persistent file, the content of database will be reused after restart.
policy - (int) determines the DNSBL policy. Possible values: DNSBL_POLICY_ANY - mail is rejected if any of DNSBL services have listed sender IP. DNSBL_POLICY_ALL - mail rejected only when all the services have listed sender IP, DNSBL_POLICY_MAJORITY - mail is rejected if majority of servers have IP listed
reject - (bool) determines the behaviour in case the sender address is blacklisted and should be rejected. If this option is True (default value), connection is rejected. If False, the mail is marked with "X-RBL-Warning" flag only.
greytimeout - how long should be connection greylisted - in seconds (default value is 300, i.e. 5 minutes)
custom-wl - (string) path to file containing list of white listed IP addresses (one IP address per line, wildcards are allowed)
custom-bl - (string) path to file containing list of blacklisted listed IP addresses (one IP address per line, wildcards are allowed)
Register new DNSBL service
Initialize unbound context and WL/BL custom zone
