HK71Green Manifesto
There has never been a time like now, when we free people had so much freedom of speech. There has never been a time like now, when freedom of speech are suppressed and crushed under totalitarian regimes, from Iran to China.
Luckily, technology helps, like Iran: Twitter had maintain a lifeline to protesters on their Green Revolution, while video streaming allow the world to witness the conflict. Good citizens in China had make use of technology and develop techniques to penetrate the so called "Great Fire Wall of China", allowing communication and information flow to continue. However, with the increasing pressure for control from totalitarian regimes everywhere, freedom of speech online is at greater peril than ever before.
And, don't think this is far away from you. What is happening to Iranians and Mainland Chinese can happen to you and me. The cutoff of most internet services to and from Iran now, can happen here. The introduction of Green Dam on computers in China can happen here, if our lousy government decide to give in to conservative pressure and licence the software, all in the name of "protect our children from filthy online content". Even the filtering on the "Great Fire Wall of China" can happen here, if we are not vigilant.
In 1946, Martin Niemöller said:
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
It rings true to this day. Why speak out for online freedom of speech? Because we still can, and we have moral obligation to speak out while we can. Because helping Iranians and Mainland Chinese are just like helping yourself. Walk with us on July 1st in protest against oppression of Freedom of Speech, wear green garment to show our support to Chinese and Iranians, who sacrifice their freedom and lives for the greater good.
Defend Information Freedom, Promote Democracy and Human Rights. The fight starts from your computer. Be the change you wish to see in the world! We will see you at the Victoria Park, on July 1st, 3 p.m.!

Music 'One Day At A Time' by The Knack
I know I bag on Warren Leight and the current crop of LO:CI writers pretty savagely and constantly lament the departure of Rene Balcer and his writing staff from LO:CI as a major turning point in the quality of my beloved show.
But I've got to hand it to Warren for really respecting the picket line and the WGA strike (even though it looks like once we hit the 11th episode of LO:CI this season a whole bunch of us are going to be jonesing for new Goren or Logan episodes).
As an intellectual property attorney who has seen the evil a 'current or future media' clause can visit upon an artist (this overreaching clause came from the music divisions of entertainment conglomerates and I saw more than a few artists suffer from not grasping its implications to their bottom lines), I say to the writers at LO:CI for goodness sake, strike hard against perpetual indentured servitude the MegaMediaCorporations(TM) Inc. want to imprison you in and all y'all deserve some revenue from the Internet downloading, the cell phone downloading as well as more than a pathetic four cents per DVD.
For the fans who are going to be going into withdrawal well may I remind them that back in 2001 the first season of LO:CI was delayed due to 9/11 and then all through the winter of 2002 we had to wait many many weeks to see new LO:CI episodes because of the nuisance of preemption by the 2002 Winter Olympics? Thanks to FOX syndication reruns, Bravo reruns, the first 3 seasons of LO:CI on DVD, Amazon downloads, plus whatever marathons USA Network chooses to run etc, well you won't have to suffer as much as we dinosaur days fans did. You'll live…trust me. Just take the hiatus one day at a time
Oh and huge kudos are going out to the LA Times for their WGA strike coverage and this article.
Warren Leight is grappling with his dual roles on LO:CI
"Grappling with his dual roles"
— Matea Gold LA Times Blog
"Warren Leight, executive producer and showrunner of USA's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," was wrestling with an issue facing many of his fellow showrunners on the picket line: how to juggle his competing duties as a writer and producer.
Last night, he finished one last tweak on the 10th episode of "Criminal Intent" and faxed it in right before the strike deadline. The script for Episode 11 is also done and will probably go into production before Thanksgiving. Though Leight won't write another word until the strike is over, he may get called on for his input on editing and other responsibilities he has as a showrunner.
"I'm trying to figure it out," said Leight, who says he won't cross the picket line. "I think that's a hugely complicated issue. I have to play every situation by ear. A lot of showrunners are grappling with that."
Leight feels strongly that the writers were forced to strike. "They made us an offer we had to refuse," he said of the studios. "My sense is they wanted it to come to this.
"In a sense, they managed to do the impossible: They brought writers together," he added. "Look, it's an ornery group. But we know what the stakes are. There's remarkable unity between the guilds on both coasts, which has never been the case, and across different echelons of the guild. It's unfortunate it's come to this, but they've managed to create more unity in the writers guild than we've been able to do on our own in 30 years."
Unlike the 1988 strike, this stoppage comes down to one clear issue for most writers, Leight said: "They know if they don't stand up now out here, there will be no residuals in five to 10 years. It's a one-issue strike." "
I don't know how else I can support the striking writers except to say so right here on The Vault's homepage and to maybe go rewatch VDO's rants as the writer David Kahane in 'The Player' for inspiration (and ignoring the conclusion of the film). In real life the weasels of MegaMediaCorporations(TM) Inc. don't always have to win.
If somebody wants to hook me up with a WGA T-shirt or a strike sign I'd happily accept them :)

Who couldn't use some great ad copy tips once in awhile?! Here are secrets shared by ad pros to use in your promotions online and off.
1. DIGITAL IMAGES - Add images with your ad copy. Rule of thumb here is NOT "the more the merrier". So choose one or two of your best images. Don't have a camera or not great with it yet? Don't worry. Surf the Internet or check software packages for images that grant you permission for use. Simply type "free images to use" into your favorite search engine. Or check places like Amazon.com or Ebay.com for affordable image packages that fit your industry needs.
2. PRICE - List your price and don't irritate people by playing games and hiding it or leaving it out. People are bombarded with sales commercials, postal mail, email, radio and television ads, etc. They don't and won't waste time on hunting for your price. Plus whenever you offer rewards or free bonus items in your ad copy, make sure to include the dollar value beside each so that people know they're getting a god deal and your package holds more value overall.
3. TESTIMONIALS - Continually gather testimonials of all lengths from your clients and sprinkle them throughout your ad copy. Group some inside a yellow or blue (or other color that coordinates with your marketing piece) box. List some in individual boxes along with a photo of the person sharing comments and his or her company name to add credibility. No need to be book-length comments, either, "Those 1-liners stand out and pull readers!"
4. HAND WRITTEN NOTE - Include a hand written notation or actual letter with your ad copy. Write the note on the edge of the ad so that it stands out, or write it on a small different colored sheet of paper. For online use, scan it and publish it on the web page or visit your favorite search engine and find a third party solution under "website handwritten notes" for companies like 3M Worldwide at www.3m.com . The addition of a personal touch can always help increase sales. Note: If your handwriting is difficult to decipher, maybe ask a friend or colleague to re-write your copy first before it going to press.
When you're finished, with your ad copy, go back and check for areas of improvement. Even tiny changes can make hug differences in response rates. So go take a peek! - Comments: 0

When one gets bored and is looking for something to do, the Internet usually gives quite a few means of curing the boredom. One often opts for the option of playing online arcade games, as it serves as a quick time waster and stress reliever. But contrary to popular belief, online arcade games do indeed give gamers benefits that were previously unheard of.
Out of all the arcade games available, shooter games are the most popular on average. They allow for gamers to hone in on their accuracy and skill with weapons or other projectiles. But for the human body, playing such games will actually help atone the reflexivity of the one playing the game. In this case, gamers who play online arcade games will have faster reflexes and response times than those who don't on average.
But not everything revolves around strength and reflex- the mental benefits of playing puzzle games are also quite appealing. Puzzle games will demand gamers to user their wits in order to solve puzzles, thinking critically, and get around obstacles with their brains rather than their brawl. This leads to better logic in thinking, wit, and critical thinking in other subjects as well- so who said playing games wasn't beneficial to one's education?
Even the most basic of fighting games that require button mashing can help aid in the development of the body. Fighting games will usually have combination moves that require certain button presses at exact times or patterns. This often takes careful memorization skills, which can lead to better memory management as a result.
Racing games don't seem as beneficial as other types of games previously mentioned, but they carry their own weight in the arcade industry too. Racing games will give underage drivers much information on physics of driving- leading them to become more apt to be successful drivers. Driving simulators, such as the Gran Turismo franchise, will commonly give underage drivers a "feel" for the car, braking systems, and drifting before they actually experience it in real life. And as things go, it's best to have some experience rather than any at all.
Lastly, a good action game can get the senses and adrenaline pumping- making gamers more alert and aware when they are playing games. This is a clear indication that video games can help atone the senses even when under stressful situations. After all, the online gamer who has battled evil aliens and kept his or her cool during the process will likely have better stress management skills than those who haven't.
Final Thoughts
In the end, the classic arcade game is something to be marveled at. Not only can society "waste time" in front of a computer screen enjoying themselves, but they can get their body more in atonement to their senses, memory, and even stress managerial skills. Obviously, online arcade games have much more benefit than what most would think- meaning there is absolutely nothing wrong with wasting away an afternoon playing online games. - Comments: 0

Certain people that search for Dubstep music tend to type it as "Dub step".
Dub step is a common misspelling of the musical genre known as Dubstep. Its musical origin is London and it is said to have stemmed from the UK Garage scene and 2-step music. It is commonly believed that it comes from a mix of electronic music that incorporates elements of reggae and Dub as well as other musical aspects such as Drum and Bass an Hip Hop.
How do I know if the music is considered dub or if it only has its elements?
Some of the main aspects of Dub step or Dubstep music are its minimal beats and heavy bass weight coming from bass lines often called sub-bass. Bass is foremost the main element in most Dub music productions. Many of the bass-lines have a wobble effect that is gives a pulsating movement to the woofer or bass bin that the music is played through. Certain other element such as stops or rewinds, placement of odd samples and other techniques are often used in the production as well. The music has some common musical time signatures as well.
When did this music become so popular, I hear about it more and more all the time?
Dubstep became respected and a bit more predominant in in the underground club and rave scene around 2005. It soon began to become more popular with local DJs and a lot of sites began to pop up on the internet devoted to the music and it empowered the scene even further. Many producers started to use and tweek the sound and a very signature sound was soon developed by many local artists .
Is this music considered a new form of music or has it always been around?
To date it is considered by most to be one of the newest forms of music that is widely acknowledged and has fans worldwide from the UK to America. The music is being found in movie soundtracks as well as video games and does not seem to be going away anytime soon. With its growing popularity it makes sense that many people are no searching for Dubstep mixes and free dubstep music online. Many artists like Skream, Benga, Boxcutter and Kode9 have gotten lots of attention from web surfing fans searching for the latest Dubstep remix of a current pop song.
So where can I find all this cool music and download it for free?
Free Dubstep can be found on many social networks including Myspace and on many forums which artists and fans alike flock to for sharing of songs and mixes. As with any search for free music goes you will find the good, the bad and the ugly. With Dubstep music all three type of finds will most likely make for an interesting listen. - Comments: 0

It's only 40 days until I run my first official half-marathon – Waddell & Reed on Oct. 15. But I ran the 13-mile distance for the first time unofficially yesterday.
I jumped ahead of my training schedule, prompted by driving the W&R route last week to get a sense of it. I was left anxious by the experience and, rather than stew about it, I just went ahead and jumped from 11 miles to 13 miles distance to get it out of the way.
It certainly makes me feel a little more confident that I can finish the W&R in October, bringing me one step closer to the colorful chaos that is the running with the bulls in Pamplona (see earlier posts for the tortured explanations of how they're linked).

Would you believe a boat load of savings and a whole lot of fun?
Happy New Year everyone! I don't know about you but I am super excited about 2017. I spent the last couple weeks networking and I am on overload at this point. I'm bouncing off the walls and running around like a lunatic and it's driving my husband and everyone else around me a little nuts.
One of the things that got me so excited is that we are kicking off the new year with not one, but two guests on this month's edition of Live from the Hive, Tammy Downing from Out of the Box Tours and Mike Lynch from Inkspot NH.
Tammy Downing is one of those high energy people that make you want to jump right in and join the fun. Stayed tuned for some sneak peeks and details about some of her upcoming tours and maybe she'll give us a few insider tips on finding the hidden gems when you travel.
Also this month, Mike Lynch is going to share how he can save you 30% on your ink and toner, give the facts about remanufactured vs. OEM cartridges, and help you keep all those old toner cartridges out of the landfills.
He's been in business for over 11 years so I'm thinking he must be providing the best product and service.

Although the state might not offer a sandy beach or oceanfront views, Arizona does feature majestic deserts, where red skies merge seamlessly with a menagerie of earth-tonedmountains and jagged rocks. The setting creates a romantic landscape, appropriate for celebrating honeymoons, anniversaries or "just because" romantic weekend getaways in the Grand Canyon State.
Southern Pride
Tucked away in southern Arizona, Tucson offers an array of romantic attractions. Enjoy a night of downtown fun as you and your sweetie dance the evening away in high-end nightclubs, dine in gourmet restaurants and view public art displays. Take a leisurely stroll hand-in-hand with your honey at Tohono Chul Park, a 49-acre desert garden where hummingbirds buzz around honeysuckle and native palms. For a sweeping view of the city's sparkly lights, visit Kitt Peak National Observatory, perched high above Tucson in the Quinlan Mountains. One hour south of Tucson are the sister cities of Sonoita and Elgin, two tiny towns known for their rustic vineyards. Join your honey for an afternoon of wine tasting at the area's nine wineries or embark on a horseback ride through the rural region, where the towering mountains stretch as tall as 9,000 feet and serve as a backdrop for sweeping green grass prairies.
At the Center
The capital city of Phoenix is located in the heart of Arizona. Dress up to the nines and soak up the city's rich arts scene, such as ballet and opera performances at the elegant Symphony Hall and Broadway shows at the Orpheum Theatre, a former 1929 movie palace. For an added bit of elegance, book a room at the Arizona Biltmore, a luxury 1929 hotel with eight swimming pools and villas with fireplaces, balconies and massive Roman tubs. The mountain town of Prescott is approximately 90 minutes northwest of Phoenix. Rent bikes and explore the city's 16 parks or take a romantic canoe ride on its three lakes. Prescott Strings Chamber Orchestra presents free concerts at the ornate St. Luke's Episcopal Church, while touring musical acts perform at the lavish 1905 Elks Opera House.
I-40 Adjacent
Nestled along Interstate 40, Flagstaff sits at the base of the San Francisco Peaks and opens up to vast wildflower-filled meadows. Make your way to Lowell Observatory and gaze into the galaxy or watch laser shows with your sweetheart by your side. Book a room at the Inn at 410, an 1894 bungalow, where some rooms include private porches with garden views. The bright red rocks of Sedona dominate the landscape of this quaint little town, just 45 minutes south of Flagstaff. Set out for hikes in the picturesque setting, pausing to steal a kiss from your honey alongside colorful rock formations, stone spires and craggily canyons. Leisurely peruse the town's more than 40 art galleries or treat yourself to side-by-side massages in one of the dozens of regional spas.
Northern Exposure
Take your time soaking up the sights of Grand Canyon National Park, a 277-mile-long, 1-mile-deep and 18-mile-wide crevice, colored with a splattering of rich reds, oranges and yellows. During the winter, the dusting of snow only adds to the canyon's ethereal and romantic appearance. For an added bit of romance, step back in time with a ride upon the Grand Canyon Railway, a more than two-hour ride from the town of Williams to the park aboard a chic 1950s diesel locomotive. Based in the northern-most region of Arizona, Lake Powell is a man-made lake created due to the presence of the Glen Canyon Dam. Embrace the rural surroundings of Lake Powell and take in panoramic views of the towering cliffs and earth tone canyons that surround the sparkling blue waters. Spend a quiet afternoon fishing, kayaking or swimming with your partner by your side. Lined with 2,000 miles of shoreline property, Lake Powell also has numerous houseboats that canoodling couples can rent.

When I was pregnant with Josephine, I searched for little leather moccasins everywhere, but could only find ones made in the US with huge P&P charges. As soon as I saw Amy & Ivor's amazing handmade moccasins, I knew they were a must for Baby.
Designer and Maker Alice is the sweetest lady, and the craftsmanship involved in her handmade leather moccasins is nothing short of incredible. Coming in the most beautiful colours (new season shades are just making their way into the shop and it took me ages to make a final decision on which to order...in the end I choose soft grey and cinnamon for Baby and this amazing pewter for Josephine) they are super soft and I know will only get better with wear.
I can't wait for springtime and for Josephine to be able to wear hers outdoors, and for teeny toes to fill those little ones. Josephine and I were equally floored by the absolute cuteness of the little grey ones - I forgot how small babies feet are!
Josephine was pretty reluctant in taking hers off before nap time and only gave them up with the promise of them sitting on the floor at the end of her bed whilst she slept. They'll make perfect slippers for now, and when the sun starts shining they'll be the ideal alternative to bare feet when little stones and spiky sticks litter the garden.
Most definitely one of the best mail days ever when these arrived at our door. Thank you so much Alice :)

OUTLANDER has added another award to its bustling trophy cabinet.
The show and composer Bear McCreary have won Best TV Score 2015 at the Soundtrack Geek Awards 2016.
They beat off competition from shows including 12 Monkeys (Trevor Rabin & Paul Linford), Doctor Who Series 8 (Murray Gold), House Of Cards Season 3 (Jeff Beal) and Poldark (Anne Dudley) to scoop the award.
Nice Sunday morning treat...Soundtrack Geek Awards 2016 announces: https://t.co/DBINmPvupi pic.twitter.com/c1TpDMd0NU— Bear McCreary (@bearmccreary) January 24, 2016
McCreary's work on the hit Starz series has been the focus of much critical acclaim since Outlander first aired.
Last month, Outlander topped MTV's list of best TV show opening sequences.
McCreary's arrangement of the Scottish folk tune, The Skye Boat Song, finished ahead of Game of Thrones and third-placed Jessica Jones.
The song, a traditional expression of Jacobitism, tells how Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped in a small boat after the defeat of his Jacobite rising of 1745, disguised as a serving maid.
Outlander's cast and crew are currently hard at work on the show's second season, which is based on author Diana's second novel Dragonfly in Amber.
The story sees Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) try to change the course of history in Paris as they attempt to stop the Jacobite rising by seeking out Bonnie Prince Charlie.
The show is set to air next Spring and with filming currently underway in Scotland.

ADD2136 Electricity Market and Regulation: Consultancy Support
Executive summary
The Environment Smart Energy team requires specialist energy markets and regulation advice in regard to its existing projects and activities for financial year 2017-18. The specific areas relate to commercial support for the Licence Lite project, the regulatory aspects of "Investment Ahead of Need" in connection with electricity infrastructure and guidance in responding to relevant government consultations.
This request seeks approval to spend up to £25,000 from the GLA Environment 2017-18 budget for Licence Lite for the consultancy support.
Exemption is also sought, in accordance with the GLA Contracts and Funding Code, to procure the services of Robert Tudway due to the highly specialist nature of the services, his experience of working for the GLA on these matters and associated cost-benefits of this appointment. The final appointment will be the subject of a IR35 High Level Vetting Form for Services Contracted.
That the Assistant Director of Environment approves:
1. allocation and expenditure of £25,000 on specialist energy market and regulation advice and project support services from Robert Tudway; and
2. a related exemption from the requirement of the GLA's Contracts and Funding Code that such services be procured competitively.
Part 1: Non-confidential facts and advice
The Licence Lite project is designed to support the development of decentralised energy in London and when operational the Licence Lite project would fall within the Energy for Londoners project, the establishment of which was approved by Mayor under cover of MD1542. The GLA's application to Ofgem for a Licence Lite licence was approved and varied subsequently by the Executive Director - Development, Enterprise & Environment under cover of DD897 and DD1416, on the basis that an MD is obtained before any commitment to supply electricity is made.
Licence Lite addresses a market failure preventing decentralised energy generators adequate access to the electricity supply market. Licence Lite will allow local generators to sell their electricity at better prices increasing their income and as a result, improve investment opportunities in decentralised energy schemes.
The expected outcomes from the Licence Lite project are:
• to fulfil the Mayor's manifesto pledge to 'buy clean energy generated across the city, using it to power GLA and TfL facilities'; and
• increase the certainty and accelerate delivery of the Mayor's Climate Change and Energy Strategy regarding:
o stimulating and developing affordably-priced markets for locally generated electricity;
o the contribution decentralised energy can make to reducing CO2 emissions, particularly solar generated electricity; and
o the increased uptake of more investment in decentralised energy systems incorporating heat networks in London, bringing forward in excess of an estimated £300 million of additional investment, with the accompanying short term construction jobs and permanent jobs in operating the energy centres and networks; and thereafter larger amounts of investment and numbers of jobs as the potential for decentralised energy in London is realised.
The GLA is in the best position to rectify the market failure. The GLA has the knowledge and expertise to implement the Licence Lite route to market and although there is strong interest in Licence Lite amongst the smaller generators, they have been held back from taking a lead both because of the complexity involved and apparent unwillingness to risk time and money on a new venture that will benefit their competitors as much as themselves. Once the first Licence Lite operation is established, Licence Lite applications can be made by others on a relatively standardised basis, using the same basic documentation and implementation procedures.
Services Required
The Environment Smart Energy team requires specialist energy markets and regulatory advice to continue its work on specific projects and associated activities for financial year 2017-18. The specific areas relate to commercial support for the Licence Lite project, the regulatory aspects of "Investment Ahead of Need" regarding electricity infrastructure, and guidance in responding to relevant government consultations.
The Economic Business Policy Unit (EBPU) team is leading the "Investment Ahead of Need" initiative, and the costs of the support work shall not exceed £5000 and will be recharged to the EBPU budget in accordance with the work carried out.
In summary, the services required to help finalise the agreements for the Licence Lite project include:
• generator power purchase agreements;
• power supply agreement with TfL;
• Third-Party Licence Supplier services; and
• granting of the junior electricity supply licence from OGEM.
The consultant will also:
• assist Peter North. Senior Manager, Programme Delivery – Sustainable Energy, to prepare the MD seeking the Mayor's authorisation to enter the necessary agreements and arrangements and to become operational in August 2017 with the first electricity be traded in October 2017; and
• be available for ad hoc advice on energy regulatory and market matters and consultations.
Given the value of the proposed contract, GLA officers acknowledge that section 9 of the GLA's Contracts and Funding Code ("Code") requires that contracts with values between £10,000 and £150,000 are procured competitively or called off from a framework. However, section 10 of the Code provides that exemptions from that requirement maybe approved where: a supplier has had previous involvement in a specific current project; or to do so involves the continuation of existing work that cannot be separated from the new project/work.
Robert Tudway was a Sustainable Energy Strategy Officer for five years as an employee of the GLA and retired in March 2017. Prior to that, he fulfilled the same role as an employee of the London Development Agency for four years and seven months. Formerly, Tudway was a partner with the law firm Nabarro leading their climate change energy practice. His work involved a combination of specialist knowledge of the regulatory and market structures for the electricity sector and as a projects lawyer.
During his ten-year association with the GLA, he acquired extensive know-how and experience of dealing with energy and infrastructure issues in the context of the GLA and the Government. He led the development of the Licence Lite project having prepared the suite of commercial agreements in conjunction with the external consultancy support. He managed the licence application to Ofgem.
Tudway was instrumental in formulating the delivery options for the "Investment Ahead of Need" electricity infrastructure project that came from the Mayoral initiative addressing developers' concerns that the cost and timing of new electricity infrastructure was holding-up development in London.
Tudway will provide services on a consultancy call-off basis until the end of financial year 2017/18 to a maximum value of £25,000.
The proposal is based on a charge rate £53 per hour for 472 hours over one year. This is equivalent to
approximately 64 days per year or 1.5 days per week given a 40-week working year and is inclusive of travel
within London.
The costs are the equivalent of his former GLA Grade 10 position and is therefore considered to provide value for money.
The appointment of an individual for consultancy advice has no direct equality issues. Their help in successfully delivering the project would contribute towards affordable sustainable energy outcomes benefiting the fuel poor.
- Tudway's appointment will be the subject of IR35 High Level Vetting to ensure employment law issues do not apply. In this regard, he will not manage GLA officers and will be managed by the GLA by reference to his contract, the call-off specifications and associated contract milestones and deliverables.
- Key risks and issues are set out below:
Risk description (cause, 'risk event', potential impacts)
Probability (1-5)
Mitigation/Risk response (state if the response is done or pending)
GLA Owner
Consultant fails to perform
Previous performance very good – risk unlikely to materialise. The consultant will be required to agree GLA terms to afford GLA sufficient protection against lack of performance.
3. The links to Mayoral strategies and priorities
The Licence Lite project has been designed to support the development of decentralised energy in London by allowing local generators to sell their electricity at better market prices. The project delivers the Mayoral manifesto commitment to 'buy clean energy generated across the city, using it to power GLA and TfL facilities'. The project will contribute towards the Mayor's commitment for London to be a zero-carbon city by 2050 forms part of the new London Environment Strategy proposal to Help implement large scale decentralised and low carbon energy projects, including stimulating demand from the GLA group.
"Investment Ahead of Need" supports the Mayor's economic development strategy in that it removes the barrier a lack of infrastructure could create that would hold-back the progress of new development and investment in London.
Assistant Director's approval is being sought for expenditure of up to £25,000 to appoint a consultant specialising in the energy market and to provide regulatory support for the Licence Lite Project. The cost will be funded from Licence Lite Markets & Regulation 2017-2018 income Budget as per MD1542.
6.1 The above sections of this report indicate that:
6.1.1 the decisions requested of the Assistant Director concern the exercise of the GLA's general powers, falling within its statutory powers to do such things considered facilitative of or conducive to and incidental to the discharge of the GLA's principal purposes; and
6.1.2 in formulating the proposals in respect of which a decision is sought officers have complied with the GLA's related statutory duties to:
(a) pay due regard to the principle that there should be equality of opportunity for all people;
(b) consider how the proposals will promote the improvement of health of persons, health inequalities between persons and to contribute towards the achievement of sustainable development in the United Kingdom; and
(c) consult with appropriate bodies.
6.2 Section 10 of the GLA's Contracts and Funding Code ("Code") requires that contracts with values between £10,000 and £150,000 are procured competitively or called off from a framework. However, section 10 of the Code provides that exemptions from that requirement maybe approved where: a supplier has had previous involvement in a specific current project; or to do so involves the continuation of existing work that cannot be separated from the new project/work. GLA officers have stated, at section 2 of this report that such circumstances exist in this case. Therefore, if satisfied with the content of this report, the Assistant Director may approve the exemption and award of contract.
6.3 Should the Assistant Director approve the recommendations of this report officers must ensure that
appropriate contract documentation is put in place between and executed by the GLA and the proposed service provider before commencement of the services in question.
6.4 In taking the decisions requested, the Assistant Director must also have due regard to the Public Sector Equality Duty; namely the need to eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 2010, and to advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic (race, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity and gender reassignment) and persons who do not share it and foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it (section 149 of the Equality Act 2010). To this end, the Assistant Director should have particular regard to section 3 (above) of this report.
The energy regulatory and market consultant will be procured under a single source justification.

You have two choices: Wait for something to motivate you to get into your best shape ever, or get in shape now and be ready when that something comes along. Here's how Cory Gregory stays ready for anything year-round!
That's why weight training is oftentimes viewed as better than "just" running. Lifting weights impacts your metabolism by causing mini-micro tears that need to be repaired. That healing process requires energy, which means you're burning more calories—a process that can sometimes last for nearly two days.
Tuesday, March 3, 2015 - You are already drifting out into the cosmos, and the big picture becomes even bigger today. You're comfortable with your colorful day dreams, but it's time to put your grand plan into motion. Fortunately, the Moon and Jupiter are dancing in your 9th House of High Ideals now, motivating you to go to extremes to accomplish your goals. You are in a dynamic period of growth, so don't wait for a better moment to initiate decisive action. Combine your vision with your best intentions and give it all you got.

They might be 20 inches around now, but even for years after I started training, my arms were one of my weakest body parts. Because I started out with a powerlifting approach to training, I didn't give much dedicated attention to my biceps. Then, when I did start training them specifically, they didn't respond in the way I wanted. Frustrated, I started overtraining. When I finally gave my arms a break, they blew up like balloons.
But this doesn't mean you shouldn't do isolation exercises. Calf raises, concentration curls and dumbbell kickbacks will always have their place in bringing out the finer points of a physique, but they're not what's going to make you shredded. Compound (multi-joint) movements need to be the foundation of your program, since they're the exercises that will build the most muscle, and hence keep your metabolism revving.
You will notice that some of the people with the strongest core muscles don't even do any core work. That is because they are focusing on multi-joint lifts (working more than one muscle group at a time) instead of single joint lifts (one muscle group at a time, such as biceps curl). When it comes to multi-joint moves, you have plenty to choose from: deadlifts, squat variations, lunges, kettlebell exercises, rows, medicine ball throws, Olympic lifts and powerlifts all stimulate a lot of muscle at one time. The core has no choice but to work hard to stabilize the spine as you perform these types of exercises. Certain machines allow you to work multiple muscle groups at once but they don't have the kind of core demand that you're looking for because of the fixed range of motion, meaning that less contribution is required of your core musculature. So instead of doing so many, triceps pushdowns, cardio and machine moves, stick to the basics.

When it comes to gym etiquette , we already know to avoid cellphone conversations, re-rack our weights, and curl anywhere outside the squat rack. But there are plenty of lesser-known blunders you could be making at the gym that upset and disrupt others. Worse, some of these mistakes could negatively affect your health.
Kick these bad habits you probably don't think twice about doing.
The classic barbell squat is quite possibly the greatest all-around exercise; it targets your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, as well as the rest of your body. And to reap the muscle-building benefits of the beloved move, you don't need to train like a powerlifter. Instead of upping your weight, increase your reps. Doing more than 10 squats per set induces significant muscle growth and is a strategy endorsed by strength coaches like Bret Contreras.
The muscle you're referring to is called the brachioradialis. It starts on the upper arm bone, crosses the elbow joint, and attaches to the ulna (the large forearm bone). Some genetically fortunate guys can grow their brachioradialis muscles through their back and biceps workouts alone. The rest of us need to take a more direct approach to see any real growth.
Keeping your hard-earned progress intact in the midst of a hectic schedule doesn't have to be difcult as long as you focus on working the right muscle groups. The idea is to implement a three-day schedule that relies primarily on heavy, multi-joint exercises performed circuit-style to burn more calories and fat. "The smartest choice you can make is a high-intensity full-body plan that stimulates as many muscle fibers as possible," Bell says.
What you need are the tools and techniques to shift your body into an anabolic state, that magical place where your body creates new muscle, thus increasing your bodyweight, size and strength. We've picked 25 of the top inquiries we've received over the years from readers on this very subject, and posed them to our two resident nutrition experts — Chris Aceto and Jim Stoppani, PhD — to provide the information you need to know to grow.

You've put in a few solid years of training and you're ready to take your workouts to the next level. Problem is there's no sports performance facility or powerlifting gym within a 50-mile radius of where you live. So how do you get in hardcore workouts while being surrounded by cardio bunnies and dudes flexing in the mirror? Follow these 5 tips and you can turn any average, commercial gym environment into your version of muscle beach .
Professor Timothy Noakes, the exercise scientist known for the Central Govorner of fatigue theory, once said, "The brain is the ultimate determinant of performance." Noakes' premise is that fatigue occurs in the mind (i.e., the central govorner) before the body. Even if your heart and muscular system may have more to give, the brain shuts the body down as a protective mechanism when stress levels get too high. Although the Central Govorner can be an unruly performance limiter, it also prevents an athlete from pushing themselves into organ failure, which is a good thing.
One of the most dangerous things any iron aficionado can do is to get comfortable. Comfort is the death knell for muscle growth and strength gains. Every once in a while you have to abandon the familiar to really generate the uptick in mass that keeps your boat floated. Stepping away from the bench and trying some unconventional moves might be the best thing you ever did.
Competing in a bodybuilding show can be an extremely exciting time as well as a stressful one. When you're competing, you usually only have one thing in mind -- the first place trophy. Make sure you're not getting ahead of yourself. There are a lot of things you should be doing before you even step onto the stage. These seven tips will coach you up and help you finish with the medal.
Failing to add weight to ab exercises and training your core with only one movement are two of the worst mistakes you can make on your quest for a six-pack. The abs do much more than just crunch your torso, and they need to be worked against resistance to activate all their muscle fibers. Below is a plan for training your abs three different ways, and much harder than you're used to.
In our May issue , we introduced you to Joe Donnelly, a former college and professional football player turned fitness model. Back in his playing days, he was big and lean. Now, he's big and downright shredded. And best of all, he's more than willing to show you the training program he uses to stay that way. You saw his chest, triceps and biceps routine in the magazine. In the following pages you'll see what he does for the rest of his muscle groups.
Most of us tend to look for external solutions to our bodybuilding problems. But did you ever stop and think that the true key to progress might lie somewhere within yourself ? Do you realize that the most powerful computer known to man is not sitting on your desk, but is stuck right between your ears, and smack inside your skull. I am talking about your brain, but more specifically, your MIND. The extraordinary power of one's thoughts cannot be denied. "Mind over matter," is real.
Choose the deadlift(s) that work best for you and start building full-body strength.
A cable machine unleashes a wide variety of core exercises because of the adjustable height and the ability to work from all angles. We're not talking about the beloved kneeling cable crunch. Rather, these 10 standing, kneeling, twisting, and bending core exercises place your body in every plane of motion to target your obliques and lower abs. Build core strength with these 10 ab-carving cable exercises.
Don't worry. You'll still build tons of muscle.
What we do need to answer is the "how". In many cases it's much easier said than done. Having a good depth squat takes plenty of maintenance work to be able to (re)achieve ideal positioning. Here are a few helpful tips.

The key to making an interval workout is including movements that challenge your entire body in a single exercise. Aim to include at least two exercises back to back before allowing your body to recover. Catch your breath in between rounds, but don't allow yourself to recover fully before attacking the next set. Include at least a day of rest in between workouts as these intervals are intense, and you'll see results a treadmill could never replicate. To get you started, try these 10 alternatives to traditional cardio .

Our industry has an obsession with "core training", and an unhealthy fascination with "wobby toys" and unstable surfaces. Do you really think if you stand on something wobbly, you'll "engage your core" more? Why? because you read the pseudo-science that says so? Let's talk about it - but please leave your preferences out of this discussion - we're not talking about your feelings, we're talking the realities of physics. Standing exercise has it's value, unstable surfaces have their value (when appropriately applied and appropriately progressed)... But that doesn't mean they "engage your core more", as many pseudo-experts will have you believe.

For this recipe, combine the onion, garlic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Next cut the chicken up into slices and place the slices into the crock-pot. Cover the chicken with the honey mixture and cook everything on low for three to four hours. For the last 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the crock-pot, leaving the sauce remnants. Dissolve the arrowroot flour in water and pour it into the crock-pot — combine this with the sauce that's already in the crock-pot. Cook this on high for about 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Once the sauce has thickened, return the chicken to the pot and stir until serving. Top the chicken off with sesame seeds. This recipe serves six and can be easily paired with leftover farro from the other night.

That's it. I'm done and dusted in about 30 minutes. Because the complex builds muscle, burns fat, and improves conditioning, I don't see the point in doing it the old way. A complex is a great way to build muscle because of the greater muscle time under tension. So next time you're at the gym, do your couple sets of deadlifts or bench, and then move straight into a complex. You can give any of the following complex routines a go for a fast and effective workout.
How Squat Depth & Load Influence Muscle Growth
A recent study that tested muscle activity in the squat showed that the best way to train the gluteus and hamstrings of the posterior chain is with a heavy load over 80 percent of the 1RM and to squat all the way down below parallel. As both load and squat depth increase, the glutes and hamstrings perform more work.
A rise in the popularity of workout DVDs like T25 may bring up questions about the benefits of body-weight exercises versus those of traditional resistance training with heavier weight. Here's what we know about the at-home fitness craze: Doing a body-weight/light dumbbell exercise plan for a few months is a form of muscle confusion and may yield significant results.
Dennis James and Big Ramy Train Chest
I am myself a shut up or go home cuz I hate excuses. I agree on the marathon sessions could lead to training a bit too much. But for mea persons lack of success is do to not following 3 simple keys to success. Proper training, proper nutrition and proper rest and recovery. Stressors are a big factor. I have been married 35 yrs. raised 5 kids with my wife. That alone mike mentzer explained to me was why I chose the training program I did. Now all kids are gone and my workouts are much different for me. Find the balance and the overtraining excuse won't leave your lips again. Sorry if this is abut skippy. On a 500 mile road trip and it's bouncy. Lol.

Monty Halls, a BBC host and adventurer, has the definitive test of grit: See what happens when people are denied their next seven meals. Hunger will transform us all into gritty, foraging survivalists. When voluntarily stranding himself on a remote island in Scotland, the rugged individualist in him leaned on the strength of the community. After all, it was their hard earned knowledge and culture that helped them survive the rugged environment and it would be foolhardy to ignore this.
This is the most critical part of the bench press, without a tight, solid base to press off of, big weights will never be lifted. This is a major mistake I see in most people new to benching. They will lay down on the bench, feet gingerly on the ground with their back as loose as a wizard's sleeve. Just like the foolish man in the bible who built his house on the sand, a weak foundation will not last.
For heavy lifting, drop the dumb warm-up sets and do "ramp-ups" instead. Like this: https://www.t-nation.com/training/most-intelligent-way-to-warm-up … pic.twitter.com/9Oc0xl6LQm

Highly anticipated match up of the 2010-2011 NBA Season, the back to back champions, the Los Angeles Lakers vs the Miami Heat!
via UNDFTD
Just goes to show that the new lineup for Miami doesn't mean shit for some. Even with a huge ass offer, Derek Fisher chose to stay with the LA Lakers. Why leave when you have a founded chemistry with familiar teammates along with 5 rings? It's a no brainier. Thanks Derek Fisher!
"I have decided to continue with Kobe, continue with our teammates and the fans of Los Angeles," Fisher said in a statement on his website. "While this may not be the most lucrative contract I've been offered this offseason, it is the most valuable. I am confident I will continue to lead this team on and off the court. Let the hunt for six begin."
The Lakers have won two straight titles and five in Fisher's tenure with the team. He gets a three-year deal to return, with a player option on the final year. Monetary terms were not immediately available.
The Lakers were waiting for the deal to be completed before announcing anything.
"Nothing is signed yet," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "We're in continuous dialogue with [Fisher's] representative and we hope to announce something soon."
Fisher, 35, had been courted by the Miami Heat. He met with Miami president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami on Saturday morning where the Heat told him it wanted him to be its starting point guard and to join LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
"I took time to consider all my options, many not reported in the media," Fisher said. "I listened to every coach, every general manager, even potential teammates in order to make the right decision and I thank every one of them. At the end of the day, there's one person I could not turn away from.
For more news and notes on the Lakers, check out the Land O' Lakers blog from the Kamenetzky brothers. Blog
"Kobe Bryant asked me to stay but supported whatever decision I made. He and I have played together for 11 seasons, came into the league together as kids, and has been loyal to me even when others had doubts. We have won five championships together."
The Lakers had been in constant contact with Fisher and his representative Rob Pelinka since the free-agent negotiating period opened on July 1, although negotiations had proceeded slowly but amicably.
Fisher averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 assists per game last season, but he stepped up with some big shots in the playoffs, especially against the Celtics in the NBA Finals.
Los Angeles lost free agent Jordan Farmar to New Jersey on Monday, but signed Steve Blake last week. Blake likely will share playing time with Fisher.

Well, looks like T-Pain jumped onto the Ron Artest, "Champions" track. Ggggggmix!
Yes! I knew Phil would comeback! It just wasn't right to walk away just yet. Phil Jackson will return as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach for the 2010-2011 NBA season! Let the back to back title defense begin!
Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Phil Jackson has decided to return to coach the team for the 2010-11 season, it was announced today.
"Count me in," said Jackson. "After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It'll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one."
Jackson, who most recently guided the Lakers to the 2010 NBA Championship, their second in a row, has won five titles as head coach of the Lakers. Overall, Jackson has guided his teams to eleven NBA Championships, the most of any coach in NBA history.
A member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Jackson established a new Lakers franchise record for regular season victories earlier this year, earning his 534th career victory with a win over the Charlotte Hornets on February 3. The fastest coach to 1,000 career victories, his total of 1,098 regular season wins ranks him fifth all-time while his .705 winning percentage is the best in league history. Additionally, Jackson ranks first all-time in NBA postseason history with a .697 winning percentage (225-98). His 225 playoff victories are also the highest postseason win total for any head coach in league history.
"We're extremely pleased that Phil has decided to return," said Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak. "With this most recent championship, we've now won five titles in the ten years he's been our head coach and have been to the Finals in seven of those ten years, which is amazing. He's not only the best coach for this team, but quite simply the best coach in the history of the NBA."

I got this great message from one of my coaching students last night.
She said, "I can't wait to tell you about the best party I had today. I swear it's because I did a mental movie of it."
What she's referring to is a visualization exercise that I recommend to all of my students.
I first learned this when I stumbled onto a tape program (yes, in those days my car had a tape player, not a CD player) by a company called "Effective Learning Systems."
This was a program created for sales people, and it helped them get mentally prepared for their presentations by visualizing everything – from the prospect arriving on time, happy to see you – to your presentation going smoothly – to the prospect being excited to sign on the dotted line and handing the salesperson a check.
I started playing the tape on the way to every one of my presentations.
What I noticed was, in a very short period of time (much shorter than I expected) my sales were increasing, I was easily getting 3, 4, or even more new bookings at every presentation, and I started to have prospects asking me if they could learn more about my business before I even had a chance to bring it up.
Pretty cool stuff.
Eventually I took it to the level where I created my own recording, so I could incorporate some numbers – such as how much I wanted to sell at each party – and terms, such as "bookings."
Most of all, listening to my "mental movie" on the way to each party helped me get into "the zone."
Just like you hear about athletes who get "into the zone" during the game – and become so tuned in that they don't really hear the crowd roaring, and can't be easily distracted.
Think of this in the same way.
Our mind is a really powerful thing – and I have many examples of using the mental movie technique, not just in my business, but in my life.
What's important to note is that using the mental movie is just one part of an overall plan for success.
I can assure you that my coaching student did everything to ensure that her party would be successful. I know, from our discussions, that she has implemented what she learned in my training classes about how to get bookings, how to plant seeds to find prospects, and much more.
The mental movie helps you take it to the next level.
I challenge you to give it a try – and to let me know what kind of results you get!
