Type 2 Diabetes Signs And Symptoms – Always Hungry and Craving For Sweets
Type 2 diabetes signs and symptoms are warning flags that blood sugar regulation is not working as it should. The diabetes excessive hunger symptom could come with increased hunger or craving sweet foods. These are common signs that we need to pay attention to. Diabetes excessive hunger is one of ten type 2 diabetes signs and symptoms.
Many people experience a blood sugar roller coaster that is aggravated by a high carb diet that includes refined sugars and highly processed foods. Low energy can create a craving for sweets to give a quick energy lift. The problem is that within a short time, your blood sugar crashes, leaving you wanting more food. This cycle of increased hunger and craving for sweets typically leads to weight gain and the early diabetes excessive hunger symptom can end in a diagnosis of being diabetic.
Some people might blame this behavior on lack of self-control, when it is often one of the type 2 diabetes signs and symptoms. The food you eat is typically converted to glucose, which is then carried by the blood to the cells in our body. The pancreas produces the hormone called insulin to help cells convert glucose into energy. If the cells can't use insulin properly, the glucose builds up in the bloodstream, resulting in high blood sugar. But the cells are still starved of energy. This blood sugar roller coaster is racing along with the type 2 signs and symptoms and if the direction isn't changed is destined to crash.
Type 2 diabetes results when the muscles and other tissues of the body develop a resistance to insulin produced by the pancreas. Initially, the pancreas tries to overcome this resistance to insulin by making more insulin. The blood sugar goes up, as your body is no longer able to make enough insulin to counteract the gradually increasing insulin resistance. This form of disease generally strikes the "over 45" age group, although younger ages can be affected.
Refined sugar products like candy, cake and donuts are a tempting snack when you have the type 2 diabetes signs and symptoms that cause increased hunger and a craving for sweets. Other foods that are not considered sugary can also cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. This includes refined foods high in carbohydrates like potato chips, crackers and even diet soft drinks. These foods only satisfy the cravings you feel, but can't deliver the nutrition you need.
The result of all this snacking is typically weight gain leading to obesity. Some people think that sugar substitutes are the answer, not realizing that if it tastes sweet, your body thinks it's getting sugar and the insulin response is triggered. The real answer to satisfy the food cravings is eating foods high in protein and nutrition.
Cutting back on carbs is an important component in preventing and managing diabetes. Lowering carb intake and sticking to whole, natural foods can help you lose weight and help you stabilize blood sugar levels. A diet of healthy foods high in protein and nutrients is a good strategy if you are dealing with diabetes excessive hunger as one of ten type 2 diabetes signs and symptoms.
Other hidden type 2 signs can include excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight gain, fatigue, blurry vision, slow healing sores or dry itchy skin, frequent infections, and numbness and tingling in hands and feet.

To Thine Own Self16 décembre, 2011
To be amazed by being is an attribute of youth. Ahead, there stretches a seemingly endless road where the future sizzles with potential. It is no wonder that 'emerging' is desirable for the beginning of a journey is packed with freshness, positive energy and vested with undaunted beliefs. It is not bravery or even risk that serves as the motivation that propels the clean stream of nascent consciousness forward but an unhindered willingness to engage in the adventure of life before jaded or calloused concerns colour the clear vista ahead.

Some interesting filings in the lawsuit:in this first filing, OS asks the judge to throw out some arguements, and have an oral arguement on others. the second tab lists the attachments for OS's filing
This is the plaintiff's response to the OS request.
I have to say, this is why there are judges, lawyers and lawsuits. Both sides have their points, both sides refer to a bunch of legal cases that prove their case. I'm sticking to blogging.

I have just read upon some news that the Rocky Mountain News, a metro newspaper in Denver, Colorado, published its last paper today. It was owned by E.W. Scripps Corporation and had a JOA with the Denver Post. Since I'm living here in the Cincinnati area, I feel like this is happening all over again since this just happened at the end of 2007 to the Cincinnati Post, it also was a Scripps newspaper.
For the Cincinnati Post – this article was published by the Enquirer – A voice is stilled
From the USA Today – Post newspaper close after 126 years
For the Rocky Mountain News
I can't be familiar with every metro newspaper across the country since there are several. However, the Rocky Mountain News is a nearly 150 year old paper. On top of that, the reporters and photographers have been amongst the best journalists to get awards, but that didn't matter to them. What mattered to those people that worked at the Rocky Mountain News were focused on one thing and was to tell the story. If this event doesn't say anything about the state of the newspaper industry and the media field as a whole, then I don't know what does!

'What We Do In The Shadows' Review: New Country, New House, Same Mockumentary Vampire Laughs [SXSW]
Posted on Saturday, March 9th, 2019 by Matt Donato
Entire television series shouldn't be critiqued on pilots alone, but that's all What We Do In The Shadows had to offer eager South By Southwest victims (aside from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's uproarious improv introduction). Episodics often require a few inaugural chapters before hitting momentum strides, and pilots bare the weight of hypnotizing audiences while establishing tonality to come. In this bubble, FX's new take on What We Do In The Shadows transplants the same approach, expressionism, and aesthetic of Waititi and Clement's effortlessly entertaining "vampire world-shattering documentary" from New Zealand to Staten Island.
"Documentary" in quotations because, you know, *if* it were real (which Waititi and Clement both insisted). Read More »

Simply tracking your store's sales isn't enough. Retail managers and store-owners also need to know how many customers are leaving the store without making purchases.
Counting customers can help determine the relationship between the number of visitors and the number of purchases in a store – or the conversion rates – and, ultimately, how to strengthen that relationship.
Low conversion rates could suggest that visitors aren't happy with the product or the pricing, among other problems. That's where counting comes in. People counting hardware allows retail managers and store-owners to get to know their customers – what they like and dislike.
The data obtained answers questions like:
– Which days of the week have the most trafficking?
– Which days have the least?
– Was there an increase in trafficking during a sale or promotion period?
And with these answers, managers can see what is and isn't working in their stores and adapt accordingly. The equipment can work wonders in three ways:
- You won't find yourself over- or understaffed. Knowing your store's busy and slow days will help you optimize labor while scheduling. For example, on the days that the store usually sees the least amount of visitors, employees can maintain productivity by cleaning, performing maintenance tasks, or unloading a new shipment of products. You won't have to put maintenance tasks on a back burner during your busy days.
- You can discover the best ways reach your customers. Measuring your customers' response to advertisements with retail counting hardware will tell you which medium of communication is most effective. For example, customers without a newspaper subscription aren't likely to respond to an ad in the local paper. Knowing how to reach them will make your promotions translate to traffic.
- You will never make the same mistakes twice. Having an understanding of what your customers prefer will keep you from taking risks in your business ventures. Say goodbye to poor returns on investments. You can integrate traffic data obtained from people counting hardware into your overall marketing and advertising plans and measure traffic to support project funding.
Trafficking sensors comes in several forms – overhead, horizontal, wireless, bi- and uni-directional, and thermal. They can detect customers from all angles, no matter the size or scope of a store. Many models are web-compatible, making it easy to view and store the data.
People counting hardware is an invaluable tool that not only saves money by minimizing store costs, but makes money by maximizing profits.

Thousands Raised for Local Charity In Apprentice Style Challenge
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016
on behalf of Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity
Over twenty businesses from across the UK have collectively raised more than £20,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation by competing in an apprentice style charity challenge.
The 21 corporate volunteer teams involved each had one day to take control of an exclusive pop up shop in the Gyle Shopping Centre, with the aim of selling as much as possible in order to win the challenge.
The Sick Kids Friends Foundation opened up shop from the 3rd to 24th December after sending out a request to businesses to sell the merchandise inside.
A grand total of £21,078.38 was raised from sales, with all the money going towards the charity which supports the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
Phenomenal response
Roslyn Neely, CEO of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, said: "The response from the businesses was phenomenal and we are delighted that so many wanted to be involved.
"It was a fantastic way for the companies to have some fun while raising money for an extremely worthwhile cause. We are really grateful to the Gyle Centre Management who provided us with a unit to stage the Pop Up Shop.
"As a result of what we do children and young people's lives are less interrupted by illness; they are less scared of hospital and a have a positive experience. Children and young people's families are better supported too both at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children here in Edinburgh and in their local communities.
"We do this by providing enhanced facilities, equipment and distractions and it is the generosity of businesses who got involved with our pop up shop, and the others who raise money for us, which allows us to continue doing this."
The shop, which was stocked with brand new toys and games, was officially opened by brothers Archie (8) and George (6) McIntosh. The siblings were keen to be involved as both are patients at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh and have benefitted from projects funded by the Sick Kids Friends Foundation.
The overall winner of the challenge was Overbury, an Office Fit Out Company with branches across the UK, who managed to sell merchandise and take donations amounting to an astounding £3290.
Close runners up were Smart Property Lettings, a property letting agent from Edinburgh with £1800, followed by the Scottish car dealers John Clark Motor Group who raised £1600 worth.
Roslyn added: "All the businesses which took part really put their heart and soul into raising as much money as possible and a huge well done to the winner and runners up for making these amazing amounts.
"However we had many businesses competing including Lloyds Banking, Virgin Money and Tesco Bank, some of which entered more than one team, so really we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who got involved.
"It will really help make a difference to the lives of many children across Scotland. We hope that the teams involved this year will be just as competitive if we decide to hold the pop-up shop again next year."
But the fundraising didn't stop there, many of the companies also organised and number of other activities to add to their totals, including selling reindeer food, tombolas, dressing up, and face painting. Smart Property Lettings have also pledged to support the Sick Kids Friends Foundation even more by donating every month from their profits made.
A thank you evening was held on the 26th of January in the Virgin Money Lounge where the total amount raised was announced. The funds from the shop will be used for a range of projects and equipment in the existing hospital and the new hospital due to open in 2017.

Review of Philip Shenon's book: A cruel and shocking act
Researcher Jim DiEugenio has reviewed Philip Shenon's horrendous book on President Kennedy's assassination entitled,
A cruel and shocking act
. Shenon's contention is that Oswald killed the President at the behest of Fidel Castro! I haven't read the book myself, but based on Mr DiEugenio's review of the book, I know that it's absolutely terrible. (The review can be read
on the CTKA.net website).

Expertise DescriptionI have more than 40 years of experience as an Electrician with expertise in mostly large industrial and commercial work. I am an Electrical Contractor and have over 10 years with a utility company and as a Forensic Engineer. My principal areas of research and consulting include: electrical fire causes, injuries, and fatalities; electrical failure and explosions; auto and machinery electrical systems; water intrusion; residential, commercial, and industrial electrical distribution systems; industrial electrical controls and instrumentation systems; national electric code and safety; high voltage electrical distribution facilities; and the design of many types of electrical facilities. I have over 15 years of expert witness experience with consultation, deposition, and courtroom testimony.
Areas of Expertise
Relevant Experiences
I am a registered Professional Engineer (Electrical) in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and California. I have investigated over 2,000 fires as a Forensic Electrical Engineer. I have also owned and operated a Design/Build Electrical Contracting company. My design and construction experience includes medium and large commercial projects as well as heavy industrial projects such as copper and uranium mills and printed circuit board manufacturing where I became an expert in high power motor, and complex control applications.
Before going back to school for my Electrical Engineering degree, I became a Journeyman Electrician in 1979 and was fortunate to be part of a group that became specialists in large scale industrial construction on copper and uranium mills where we installed and completed all start up and troubleshooting for high voltage, high horsepower motors and synchronous machines up to 12,000 HP. A synchronous machine is basically a generator being used as a motor.
I have had the opportunity to examine and test all types of motors, transformers, and electronics.
I have provided services as a Qualifying Expert Witness including testimony in over 50 depositions and 9 trials, both as plaintiff and defense expert. I have been providing consultation as a Forensic Electrical Engineer since 1995 with cases involving electrical systems and components in failures, fire causes, injuries, construction issues, root failure cause, standards of care, as well as safety and cost analyses.
As an Apprentice and Journeyman Electrician, I worked in the construction of, and spent many hours terminating duct banks to, as well as pulling conductors into and through electrical manholes/vaults. After getting my Electrical Engineering degree, I worked 12 years for SRP, which is the second largest Electrical Utility company in Arizona. At SRP, I was the Distribution Design Engineer where I worked directly with the underground construction crews and one of my duties for over 8 years was to supervise all of the Underground Inspectors whose direct responsibility included trench and manhole safety. This was during the 1990s which saw an unprecedented quantity of expansion and construction so I personally conducted a significant amount of those inspections.

5 Habits That Lead to Depression and How to Get Rid of Them
Very often, people inadvertently lead themselves into depression. The psychologists give the main reasons – our bad habits, and you should get rid of them as soon as possible.
The Habit of Feeling Sorry for Yourselves
In the difficult times, the thought that comes to you is: "I am good and I did not deserve to have this kind of problems. .." The psychologists say that self-pity reduces the stress, but it does not fight with it, it does not remove it, but it brings it even deeper into you. It is a very negative feeling, which makes you to become addicted to it very quickly. It takes away your strength and destroys your mental protection. If you fight the problems with self-pity, it means that you have let them win you in the beginning.
Advice: There is no room for self-pity in the moments of stress. You should be armed to fight with the problems and gather all you spiritual strength. It is important to remember the victories in life so far, no matter how small they were.
Feeling Unsatisfied of the Job You Hate
In everyday life, you are often forced to do jobs that you cannot stand. The dissatisfaction for each upcoming report you should write for your bosses, because you have to work during the holidays, or washing the dishes, takes you directly into the disease.
Advice: The active movement towards the set goal is one of the best ways to beat the stress. Eliminate the negative thoughts, gather strength and go to work. Promise yourself a reward for every finished work. Look forward to the moments when the job remains behind you. There is a saying: "Do not count the wounds from the fight, celebrate the victory!"
Remembering Unpleasant Memories
It happens that our loved ones do not always act nice to us. The problems come if you drag on your back this heavy and dirty crate with old insults for years. Carefully collecting and storing all the events that have once hurt you, inevitably makes you a real life loser. Under this burden, you expect the inevitable disappointment of the new meetings and relationships.
Advice: Remembering bad things lead to illness. Therefore, do not bring the bad history in your future. Forgive those who have hurt you once, burn "the crate with insults" and move on with the life.
The Constant Need to Compare You with the Others
This comes from your insecurity. The constant desire to keep up with others, in relation to wealth, personal happiness, career etc., keeps you tense and dissatisfied. Then, even your own successes are not good enough and do not bring you joy.
Advice: Negative thoughts and jealousy lead you to a disease. Every victory of the successful people is a reason for our depression; their defeat fills you with mean thoughts and hurt you as a boomerang. Get rid of this bad habit; turn to yourself and your life.
Punishing Yourselves
This habit is often formed in the early childhood. The adults suggest you that you are inadequate, bad, worse than the others, and that you will never achieve anything. Later in life, the strong personalities are able to fight this complex and to adequately assess their actions. And those who are dependent and weak, underestimate and punish themselves. The self-punishment is a dangerous habit. It humiliates you, prevents you to develop and to think positively. It leads to severe depression.
Advice: You should be fair to say to yourself: "I am not right, but I will try to fix it." But you must not tell yourself, "I am stupid and incompetent to do anything! " Find the strength to correct your mistakes and to go through life with your head up.

|Spoiler Alert: This page contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.
Yotsuba Maya (四葉 真夜) is the twin-sister of Shiba Miya, and the aunt of Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki. She is the current Head of the Yotsuba Family. [1] She is one of the strongest Magicians of the modern era in the world, known as the "Queen of Night" and "Demon King of the Far East". [1][2][3][4][5]
Maya is one of the Seven Sages, an operator who has access to Hliðskjálf. [6]
Appearance and PersonalityWhile she is actually in her 40's, her appearance gives off the impression that she's in her 30's. [1] She looks to be 30 years old but is actually 47 years old in February of 2097. [7]
Unlike Miyuki's beauty that defies description, Maya is a woman full of feminine charms and enchanting mature beauty. [1] She wears a wine red formal one piece dress. [7]
She is so fearsome that even her cousin, Kuroba Mitsugu, is terrified of her. It is mentioned that she has a good sense of humor and a willingness to join in on a good joke. [8]
When she was around twelve, Maya was kidnapped while visiting Taipei as part of a cultural exchange program sponsored by the Asian Branch of the International Magic Association. Her fiancé, Saegusa Kouichi, who was with her during the kidnapping, lost an eye trying to save her. [9]
Maya was raped and experimented on by her kidnappers from Dahan's infamous Kunlunfang Institute. [9] After she was recovered, Maya's elder sister, Yotsuba Miya, turned all of her experiences into information, separating the emotions from the memories to prevent the experience from overwhelming her sister's battered psyche. As a result, she claimed that Miya had killed her, as experiences are what make up a person and their personality. [9]
Due to that incident, Miya and Maya no longer had the warm sisterly bond they had shared before the incident. Maya also lost the ability to procreate due to the experiments, and her betrothal and relationship with Kouichi were called off (due to the loss of her emotional bonds as well as her inability to bear children). [9] Maya is single and has never married. [10][11]
Though it was for a short period of time, both Maya and Miya were students of Kudou Retsu. [12] Kouichi was also under his tutelage. [13]
She also spends great amount of time researching magic.
Magical Abilities
- Meteor Stream is Maya's innate magic, is a Convergence-Type Magic, which controls the distribution of light in its area of effect. Its power is especially amplified in a closed space such as rooms or tunnels. [4]

She's a "published author." Laff.
Her "publisher" is a POD publisher (it's called PublishAmerica). It's a "print on demand" system -- her books aren't in bookstores, until a book is requested. Oh, and EVERYONE who submits a manuscript gets accepted (see the link below). Frankly, you could just Google her publisher, and find out all sorts of stuff. I'm trying to learn to deal with the constant OT posts, but this swollen head of hers is flippin' pathetic.
She's "published" the way that "Grit" is a "magazine."

Added with some subtle but matching Michael Kors accessories; earrings, dog tag necklace, watch and rings.
Hair by Holly
My hair today was definitely being put up.....I went for the slight 90's half-up, half-down knot. With thick hair its always good to put your hair totally up or half up off you neck to cool you down.

1981: Giants Draft Lawrence Taylor in 1st Round
Since appearing in the 1963 NFL Championship game, the New York Giants had settled into a long period of mediocrity. From the advent of divisional play in 1933 through '63, the club had gone 226-123-19 with 16 postseason appearances and three championships. From 1964 through 1980, the record was 84-156-4; not only were there no playoff appearances, but the Giants posted just two records over .500 in that 17-year span.
The performance in 1980 hardly indicated that improvement might be coming anytime soon. New York struggled through an injury-riddled 4-12 season. The linebacker corps had been especially hard hit, with Harry Carson, Brian Kelley, Dan Lloyd, John Skorupan, and Frank Marion all missing time. At one point in November, a free agent named Joe McLaughlin, who had failed to catch on with two clubs in 1979 and was painting houses in Wisconsin for a living, was called in on a Monday, passed his physical, worked out twice, played on special teams the following Sunday and then was in the starting lineup the next week (he actually led the team with 10 tackles). As a result, the Giants ranked 24th in the NFL in total defense (26th against the run, 17th vs. the pass).
On April 28, 1981 the Giants, using the second pick in the first round of the NFL draft, chose Lawrence Taylor, a linebacker from North Carolina (New Orleans used the first pick to take RB George Rogers, the Heisman Trophy winner from South Carolina).
There had been some question in the run-up to the draft as to whether New York would take Taylor or UCLA running back Freeman McNeil (eventually chosen by the other New York club, the Jets). Linebacker was considered one of the team's strengths (at least, with the expectation that all hands would be healthy) and there was a need to improve the running game. The situation was further muddied by talk from some of the veteran players that they would boycott if the team drafted Taylor and gave him the three-year, $1 million deal that his agent was reportedly intending to seek. A ruffled Taylor had sent a telegram to Giants GM George Young the night before the draft asking that they not choose him.
In the end, of course, Young did choose Taylor (he signed a three-year deal, but for $900,000), and it marked a significant step in the reinvigorating of the franchise. Head Coach Ray Perkins, looking ahead to the '81 season, said "Taylor should start on the weakside for us. He'll have to earn that, of course, but from everything we've seen and everything we know about him, I have no doubt he'll become a dominating player."
Perkins was very much on the mark. Playing in a 3-4 defense, Taylor lined up with veteran Brad Van Pelt at the other outside linebacker position and Kelley and Carson on the inside and almost immediately displayed the dominance anticipated for him. He received the most votes in Pro Bowl balloting and was selected as NFL Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press, as well as Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Defense was the key to the Giants finishing 9-7 and grabbing the second wild card spot to make it into the postseason for the first time since that long-ago 1963 title game (they upset Philadelphia, 27-21, in the first round but succumbed to the 49ers in the divisional playoff). While the offense was the lowest-ranked in the league – young QB Phil Simms was still a work in progress, and missed five games due to injury – the defense keyed the improvement. Taylor was a big part of that surge, although there were also key contributions by rookie NT Bill Neill and second-year CB Mark Haynes. Defensive ends George Martin and Gary Jeter had outstanding seasons as well.
Taylor, however, would prove to be not only the unit's leader over the course of 13 years, but one of the most dominating defensive players in pro football history. At 6'3" and 237 pounds, he re-defined the position of linebacker, proving to be an almost unstoppable pass rusher as well as run-stuffer. More than outstanding outside linebackers of the past, he brought an attacking element into his play that transformed the game and made him a weapon that opposing offenses continually needed to account for. While drug issues eventually dogged him off the field, the intensity level never dropped while on it.
By the time the player known as "LT" retired, he had been named league MVP on one occasion (1986), always notable for a defensive player, and Defensive Player of the Year three times. Taylor was a consensus first team All-Pro eight times and was selected to 10 Pro Bowls. His number 56 was retired by the Giants, and he was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
Thanks to George Young's personnel moves (hired as GM in 1979 in a compromise between the feuding team owners, Wellington Mara and his nephew Tim), which so notably included the drafting of Taylor and, in 1983, the promotion of Bill Parcells to head coach, the Giants again became a perennial contender. From 1981 through '90, the last season with Parcells at the helm, the team had a 90-61 record, went to the postseason six times, and won the Super Bowl twice. Arguably more than any other player on the team, Taylor personified the change in attitude and direction.

If you've spent enough time on this site to get a feel for my musical sensibilities, you're probably wondering how I ended up reviewing a box set of commercial hard-rock from Rick Derringer's band Derringer. After all, isn't he best known for the 1973 butt-rock hit, "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo"? Well yeah, but about a year ago I heard a live version of his song "Beyond The Universe" which had explosive MC5-like energy and insane guitar solos that piqued my curiosity. Reading up on the guy I learned that he has roots in garage rock, singing for The McCoys ("Hang On Sloopy") and he collaborated with Patti Smith and Iggy Pop in the early-'70s, so maybe there was more to the man than my preconceived notion would lead me to believe.
After listening to these five albums – three studio LPs and two live ones – I've concluded that my preconceived notions were pretty spot on. There's some good moments on these five discs: Derringer's self-titled debut album from 1976 (he'd released two albums under his own name prior to it) has the aforementioned gonzo "Before The Universe", and "Let Me In" is good enough pop fun; "One Eyed Jacks" from Sweet Evil sounds like Queen Of The Stone Age twenty years before their first album, and the live albums are goofy '70s stadium-rock fun. The rest is kinda weak though, with 1978's If I Weren't So Romantic, I'd Shoot You the low-point, despite a Patti Smith co-write on "Sleepless". The members of Derringer are all technically very competent (Derringer, drummer Vinny Appice and bassist Kenny Aronoff have built extensive studio musician's resumes in the decades since) but for all that musical ability, they don't have the creative spark needed to make interesting songs. Derringer's voice is frequently a liability and, if you couldn't tell from lines like "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo/ Lordy Mama Light My Fuse" his lyrics aren't very good either – unless of course songs about "rocking" really speak to you. Basically if you ever wanted to hear a band that sounds like a generic no-frills cross between Aerosmith and Cheap Trick (comparisons that really come to forefront on Sweet Evil, which was produced by Aerosmith/Cheap Trick-producer Jack Douglas), without the personality that made those bands unique, this is a great find, and a great value at a current Amazon price of $27. If you want classic songs, look somewhere else.

Europe Waste to Energy Market Anticipated to Reach $21.99 Billion by 2023, Reports BIS Research
Despite the massive expansion of the global waste to energy industry from the year 2010 to 2018, hundreds of tons of waste ends up in the unsanitary landfills. For every ton of waste landfilled, there is an increase of 1.3 tons in greenhouse gas emissions in the form of carbon dioxide. To avoid wastage of the natural resources and the reduction in the landfill emissions, the waste should be treated in a more sustainable way with the help of waste to energy technology to generate energy from the waste.
Decreasing number of sanitary waste disposal landfills coupled with the increasing volume of waste is supporting the growth of using waste to energy technology at an increasing rate across the globe. Advanced waste to energy technologies, such as pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion are expected to register strong growth in the waste to energy industry.
Increasing utilization of renewable energy for power generation mix continues to have a positive impact on the Europe waste to energy market. Waste to energy is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity/heat with the treatment of the waste generated with several technologies such as thermo chemical and bio chemical. Today, the waste to energy sector has evolved to generate electricity with the help of various technologies from different categories of waste such as municipal, agricultural and medical waste ,among others.
The waste to energy market research study offers a wide perspective on where the industry is heading toward. The research is based on extensive primary interviews (in-house experts, industry leaders, and market players) and secondary research (a host of paid and unpaid databases), along with the analytical tools that have been used to build the forecast and the predictive models.
The report further includes a thorough analysis of the impact of the Porter's five major forces to understand the overall attractiveness of the industry. The report also focuses on the key developments and investments made in the Europe waste to energy market by the players, research organizations, and governmental bodies.
Further, the report includes an exhaustive analysis of the country split into China, Japan India, South Korea and others. Each country details the individual push and pull forces in addition to the key players from that region. Some of the prominent players in the Europe waste to energy market are The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Ramboll Group, Suez Environment S.A, Waste Management Inc., C&G Environmental Protection Holdings Ltd., Veolia Environment and Foster Wheeler AG.
Energy being the core necessity of various end use industries such as residential, commercial, industrial, electric power, and transportation, has considerable environmental impacts.
As per the International Energy Outlook 2017, the global energy consumption is expected to grow by 50% between the year 2010 and 2040, along with the increasing use of fossil fuels. Around 29 countries globally fulfil more than 90% of their energy requirements from fossil fuels. As per the data by Eurostat, the population of Europe has increased by more than 3 million people from the year 2015 to 2017, and urbanization in most of its countries is also increasing. These factors have led to the rise in energy demand from the region.
Since the fossil fuels were formed over millions of years by decomposing carbon-based life forms, these resources are entirely non-renewable. Moreover, these fossil fuels are the origin of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, which further lead to global warming. As per the data by Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the global carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion increased from 20.623 billion tons in 1990 to 32.381 billion tons in 2014. Thus, the shift from fossil fuels to the renewable and clean sources of energy is of utmost importance for effectively dealing with climate change and its effects.
One key resort to these concerns is use of waste disposed globally to generate electricity, heat, and transport fuels, among others. The treatment of waste that would otherwise have been sent to landfills, in order to generate energy, reduces the amount of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. This also reduces the dependency on energy imports. The conversion of waste to energy has progressed from the basic collection and disposal of waste to the technology driven treatment systems used to convert waste.
Waste to energy is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity/heat with the treatment of the waste generated with several technologies such as thermo chemical and bio chemical. The depletion of fossil fuels, and the hazards of improper waste management, have led to the expansion of waste to energy facilities substantially over the last ten years.
The Europe waste to energy market is projected to grow from $XX billion in the year 2018 to $21.99 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2023. Europe has significantly been the leading the market in the waste to energy technologies. The region has witnessed a strong growth in terms of waste to energy capacities since 2008 The economy of the region and the European Union's legislation are the major factors driving the growth of the market. The Europe waste to energy market is dominated by Germany in the year 2018. However, during the forecast period, the U.K. is expected to display the highest growth rate. Germany is one of the top countries in the best waste to energy technologies used in the energy generation process, recording significant levels of e-waste recovery and exploring new business opportunities.
From the year 2010, the countries in the region have significantly shifted their focus with respect to municipal waste disposal methods to prevention and recycling. Although municipal waste represents only around 10% of total waste generated in the region, it is important to understand that prevention of this waste has the potential to reduce the environmental impact not only during the waste conversion phase but also through the life cycle of the products consumed.
As per the industry experts, the recent trends in the Europe region demonstrate that this is a suitable time to enter into new growth opportunities by setting up the waste to energy projects across the region. The leading countries such as Denmark, France and Germany and recent market entrants such as Poland in the waste to energy market are expected to see major technological advancements irrespective of the regulatory and the cultural challenges.
The countries which have huge potential but limited land availability such as Poland, are focusing on the development of new waste to energy technologies. Waste to energy is one of the growing green energy technology segments in the region. The presence of several high potential sites in the region, supporting initiatives by the government, regulations, and increasing foreign investment are some of the factors driving the growth of the market in the region.
The competitive landscape for the Europe waste to energy market demonstrates an inclination toward companies adopting strategies such as business expansion, partnerships/joint ventures and collaboration, and others. The result of the emerging strategies and developments is helping the market in the form of more business expansion being done by the key players in the waste to energy market. Moreover, the growing market of waste to energy is further expected to increase the involvement of companies across different segments of the value chain.
Europe region is fragmented with the presence of both local and regional players in the market. The key players present in the waste to energy market are Wheelbrator Inc., The Babcock & Wilcox Company, Ramboll Group, Suez Environment S.A, Waste Management Inc., C&G Environmental Protection Holdings Ltd., and Veolia Environment and Foster Wheeler AG ,among others.
The key players operating in Europe waste to energy market have improved their business expansion activities from the year 2013 to 2018. This was majorly done to enhance their company's regional presence, enter into new ventures, and increase their customer base across the globe. Business expansion and contracts has been the most widely adopted strategy done by the key players in the market. For instance, in June 2018, Veolia Environment received a contract of $136.2 million to operate the VESTA plant, at Rouen, in the north-central region of France.
Partnerships/ agreements and joint ventures has also been a significantly adopted strategy in the waste to energy market. With the increasing growth in the market, companies operating in this industry are coming up with new technologies for converting waste to energy, for generating public awareness about their existing and new products and competing with the competitors' product portfolio. For instance, in July 2018, Geminor entered into an agreement with Amey's Allerton Waste Recovery Park in North Yorkshire. The agreement will support Geminor in supplying a maximum of 50,000 tons of residual waste per annum to the waste to energy facility.
The need for more research and development activities and a proper regulatory environment is a must for key companies attaining a sustained growth in the region. Several government and private research institutes, regulatory bodies and associations are working upon identifying significant efforts on how waste to energy can be useful for meeting the growing demand for power generation. The technological advancements in the waste to energy industry can provide good growth opportunities to the key players in the region. Moreover, the emergence of wind/solar hybrids, more sophisticated grid management, and increasingly affordable storage systems are expected to define the future of this commercial fossil-free power sector.

"Dear Frank Miles: I am afraid your speech for our event in Orlando this year has caused me quite a problem. You see, every year when we have gone in search of a speaker for this conference, we have had a very tall order to fill. Over several years, we have sponsored a string of excellent, entertaining speakers and every year the person we've selected has been just a little bit better than the year before. Could we possibly do better than the year before? Well, guess what. You weren't just a little better. You were a whole lot better. Way better. The compliments were overflowing after the speech. Hence my problem ... What am I going to do next year?
Good thing I have the Capitol City Speakers Bureau team on my side. I know they'll figure something out.

Fayetteville plays host to a variety of spectator sports events year-round, but in the summer, you will find us in the stands, rooting for these three home teams.
Cape Fear Heroes
If you have never attended a professional indoor football game, you are in for a treat with the Cape Fear Heroes. Playing all their home games at the Crown Coliseum, the Heroes is one of eight teams that are members of the Supreme Indoor Football (SIF) league, which is based out of Fayetteville.
All the action takes place with an 8-man team on a field the size of an ice-hockey ring, leading to some exciting plays. The Heroes took home the American Indoor Football League Championship in 2012, and nearly halfway through the season this year, they remain undefeated. If they keep this up, our Heroes will move on to the SIF Championship playoffs in late June.
Tip: Follow the Heroes' official fan page for frequent updates on team appearances and game theme nights.
Fayetteville Roller Derby
This sports organization achieved full recognition as an internationally ranked Women's Flat Track Roller Derby league in 2016, and boasts a total of four teams, predominantly comprised of women. Fayetteville Roller Derby's (FRD) home games all take place at the Crown Arena, with the season lasting from January through September.
Once the whistle blows, signaling the start of the "jam," the fast-paced hits and action begin, and these athletes take the game seriously. Their nicknames represent their fierce attitude about the sport, with monikers like "Duchess of Pain" and "Rita Slayworth." Despite their toughness, though, FRD players pride themselves on keeping the games family-friendly.
Tip: Watch the FRD Ritzy Rollers take on the Wreckers at the "Dog Days of Summer" game, on May 20, when they will collect pet items to donate to the local animal protection society.
Fayetteville SwampDogs
The locals know that a night out at J.P. Riddle Stadium, or "The Swamp," is some of the best summertime entertainment you can enjoy with the whole family. The SwampDogs, a collegiate summer baseball team, has been competing in the wooden-bat Coastal Plain League for 16 years now.
The 2017 season opener is scheduled for May 30, when the 'Dogs will take on the Holly Springs Salamanders. Thirty home games will be played over the summer, and each night promises a different, fun theme, with a few to include a fireworks extravaganza.
Tip: Surprise the dad in your life by purchasing tickets to the SwampDogs' game scheduled for Father's Day, June 18.

I learned this lesson from a funny experience in our kitchen area.
The trash can has been in the laundry room which is adjacent to the kitchen for many years. All our family members must have made thousands of trips to it by now. Sometime back, we had to temporarily relocate the trash can a few feet away , by the side of the kitchen island. This was to create space around the washer for opening it and replace some parts. Getting the parts and replacing them took about 10 days. We had been seeing the trash can in its new location, several times during the day. During this period , I learned the lesson that we can't do the right thing, just by knowing what is to be done and how. Knowing is simply not enough. You won't believe it unless you experience something like this. Read on …
After the trash can was moved, every time we had to drop something in it, we quickly walked to its original location, only to find it missing there, recollect its new location and walk to the new location. After this happened a few times on the first day, I cursed myself for forgetting the fact of its new location, even though I saw it in the new location several times while walking in the kitchen area. I thought my brain would guide my feet to the correct location, at least from the second day. But no! Not only the second day, but for several more days, I continued walking to the original location, cursed myself and walked over to the new location. The first few times, it was a funny experience. Then it was very frustrating and irritating. After a few days, I gave up all my negative thinking. I realized that an action repeated thousands of times, can't be changed just by knowing the revised action intellectually. The intellect, with all its knowledge about the new location of the trash can, could not make my feet walk to its new location. It was incapable of redirecting my feet.
My stupid action of walking to the wrong location of the trash can corrected itself, after about 7 days. I would still walk towards the old location, half way through suddenly realize that it is at a different location and redirect my feet. I was happy for this huge improvement. Before my habit corrected itself 100%, the washer repair was done and the trash can went back to its good old location. Not surprisingly, I quickly went back to the long established habit of walking to the old location. I might have walked to the new location only a few times. I was sort of relieved and happy to get into the old groove.
Now I fully sympathize with any one trying to change an old habit. If walking to the trash can can be so difficult to change, it is no wonder people find it so difficult to give up addiction to overeating, smoking, alcohol and angry outbursts and such habits, even after realizing their negative consequences.
