The “white hot development market” was a topic at a tree advocacy workshop sponsored by Save the Giants, Friends of Trees and East Multnomah Soil and Water District prior to the City’s Tree Summit.
“The more we can keep houses, the less threat to the tree canopy,” said Arthur Bradford, a Save the Giants founder.
Bradford issued last year’s clarion cry that galvanized neighbors, activists, press and his South Park connections to help save three Eastmoreland redwoods about to come under a developer’s chainsaw.
Delivering a cautionary tale, he said pre-emptive conversations with the property sellers next door could have saved the redwoods long before Lorax Dave took up his treetop residence.
The high profile tree-in spurred the City to enact emergency measures Bradford hopes will become permanent in Title 11 reform this month.
Under the emergency measures, fines for removing trees were raised based on size rather than the measly $1200 per tree before the self-proclaimed band of Ewoks arrived. Today, the Martin Street sequoias are valued at an estimated $72K.
Bradford called for the temporary mitigation fees that went up in April to stay up. “We can’t outbid every developer and get ahead of every tree.”
Advocating at upcoming City Council hearings may be the most straightforward way to help, but activists say approaching builders with leverage that good developers don’t want to be bad neighbors might yield favorable outcomes as well.
Tree activist Jim Labbe said Infill can be tree neutral if site reviews are implemented and a rule is eliminated that allows removal of any tree of any size within 10 feet of a house.
He called for an end to exemptions on industrial lands. He said the heat islands of the Columbia Corridor impact us all.
City Forester Jenn Cairo urged both conference attendees to nominate heritage trees, report violations and lobby for robust reforms and budgets that support preservation and planting in areas of the City that are tree deserts.
Proposed amendments to the Title 11 Tree Codes will be considered at public hearings held by the Urban Forestry Commission (UFC) December 7, , and the Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) December 13. | <urn:uuid:ae271221-4a71-40e0-81a3-c21f710e2525> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.southeastexaminer.com/2016/12/tree-advocacy-workshop/ | 2024-02-22T07:19:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.949561 | 475 | 1 |
Strong Geomagnetic Storm To Hit Earth Saturday
The Space Weather Prediction Center reported a Moderate Radio Blackout Event on November 28th, 2023 when an M9.8 (very powerful) solar flare occurred.
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE - The U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center issued an alert that it expects a strong geomagnetic storm to hit the Earth on Saturday after the sun released a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME), adding that it could disrupt communication systems.
The Space Weather Prediction Center reported a Moderate Radio Blackout Event on November 28th, 2023 when an M9.8 solar flare occurred. An M9.8 is only a few percentage points away from an X-class, which is the most powerful type of solar flare that is known to cause radio blackouts.
At that time it was reported that the effects might be "temporary degradation or complete loss of High Frequency (HF) radio signals on some of the sunlight side of the Earth" at the time.
Coronal Mass Ejections are "large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun’s corona," according to the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center. Such expulsions can inject "billions of tons of coronal material and carry an embedded magnetic field (frozen in flux) that is stronger than the background solar wind interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength," the agency states.
It adds, "CMEs travel outward from the Sun at speeds ranging from slower than 250 kilometers per second (km/s) to as fast as near 3000 km/s".
The fastest CMEs directed at our planet can reach the Earth in a matter of 15 to 18 hours after being initially released from the Sun, according to the agency.
On December 1st, the agency reported a G3 (strong) Geomagnetic storm was observed, adding that a geomagnetic storm is a "stronger disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field; often varying intensity over the course of some hours".
It also added that the general public "need not be concerned" and that people who are under or near the 30-minute predicted "auroral extent" may look for the aurora if it happens at night, and if weather permissions allow it.
The agency added that it could have some effects on the power grid with "controllable power fluctuations," and spacecraft operations: "Possible surface charging, atmospheric drag increase on Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites," and intermittent GNSS/GPS degradation is possible. | <urn:uuid:fb171b40-c01f-4da3-8a2b-22eace24b59d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.ssj.news/p/strong-geomagnetic-storm-to-hit-earth | 2024-02-22T06:26:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.940091 | 532 | 1 |
Tuesday 27th September 2022
Drivers and Chefs from the A4 Force Elements at Royal Air Force Wittering in Cambridgeshire deployed to Australia supporting the multinational Exercise Pitch Black.
Hosted by the Royal Australian Air Force, Exercise Pitch Black saw around 100 aircraft and 2500 personnel from 17 nations train together for three weeks. Held biennially, the large force employment exercise was conducted primarily from Royal Australian Air Force bases Darwin and Tindal in the Northern Territory.
The drivers from No 2 Mechanical Transport (2MT) Squadron and No 1 Expeditionary Logistics (1EL) Squadron are specially trained to operate their vehicles safely in an airfield environment and refuel aircraft. The pace has been extraordinary, with enough fuel to fill four Olympic size swimming pools issued in August alone.
Air Specialist (Class 1) Declan McTrusty, a driver with 1EL Squadron has found working with other nations enormously rewarding. He said: “Working with the other nations has been an awesome opportunity, especially the Aussies; they are dead down to earth and amazing workers! Always there if you need a hand, proper team players! It’s amazing what we can do as a team and I think this exercise has really shown the true air capabilities we have when we work alongside all these nations.”
Despite the busy pace of Exercise Pitch Black, and Australia’s hot climate, Corporal Matthew Finnigan from 2MT Squadron found that everything had been carefully planned:
“Very busy during the peak of the exercise, refuelling 13 different nations aircraft along with the RAAF. This included both day and night shift, as night flying was also included during the exercise. The RAAF shift managers were also very good at managing exposure time out in the heat, so you were never really out there for too long.”
The squadrons are part of the RAF A4 Force. Ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, the A4 Force is comprised of specialist engineering and logistics squadrons that support military air operations and exercises in the UK and abroad.
No 3 Mobile Catering Squadron (3MCS) sent a detachment of military chefs to Exercise Pitch Black, supporting the Royal Australian Air Force during the multinational exercise. Corporal Neal Harding has been an RAF Chef for 18 years and found the exercise challenging but rewarding:
“It was a busy few weeks when the exercise got going, and we were feeding 600 plus. It was good exposure for the less experienced chefs to cater on a larger scale, a task that they adapted to very well. Overall it has been an excellent experience and probably one of the best deployments that I’ll do within my time in the RAF.”
Wing Commander Wayne Tracey commands No 85 Expeditionary Logistics Wing, of which 1EL, 2MT and 3MCS are constituent parts:
“This is absolute professionalism in tough conditions. Working in this kind of heat, and at real pace, is a serious challenge for any military unit and our squadrons on Pitch Black acquitted themselves beautifully. However, in spite of the elements, this is the essence of what we do, the A4 Force Elements not only support UK air operations, they work seamlessly alongside our partners and allies too.” | <urn:uuid:8798451b-098b-400a-b09f-354ea55d3dec> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.staging2.raf-ff.org.uk/a4-force-elements-australia/ | 2024-02-22T07:30:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.970525 | 669 | 1 |
S B ELLIOTT STATE PARK
The 318-acre S. B. Elliott State Park is in the heart of the Moshannon State Forest. This entirely wooded park offers picturesque areas of forest and swamp meadows and typical second growth mixed hardwood and oak timber.
This mountaintop was once covered in giant white pine and hemlock trees. At the turn of the century, the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company and the Goodyear Lumber Company built railroads and roads to harvest the timber.
This logging devastated the area, entirely wiping out the magnificent stands of pine and hemlock. The logging companies swiftly departed, allowing the forests to regrow. The devastated land was eventually sold to the Commonwealth, usually at tax sales. This accumulation of land eventually became Moshannan State Forest.
Now about a century later, many of the logging roads and railroad grades can be seen in the maturing stands of oak and maple.
The Honorable Simon B. Elliott was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature and a member of the old State Forestry Reservation Commission, a precursor to the Department of Forestry. This early conservationist promoted the idea of creating a nursery to raise trees for planting in the surrounding area.
In 1911, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania established the Clearfield Forest Tree Nursery in a mountain pasture atop Penfield Mountain. This nursery was later renamed for District Forester William F. Dague who was in charge of its operation from its start in 1911 until 1947. The Dague Nursery was closed in 1978, but its buildings and facilities are still in use as the Moshannon State Forest maintenance headquarters and the seed orchards still supply seeds for the other state nurseries.
In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) established Camp S-116 on land along the edge of the nursery and built the cabins, pavilions, roads, trails and many of the other buildings that exist today.
In that same year, 1933, the former Department of Forests and Waters erected a plaque dedicating Simon B. Elliott State Park. The plaque is on a stone in the pines along the northern edge of the park.
Camping: rustic sites
A 25-site camping area, across from the log cabin park office, offers modern restrooms but no showers and a sanitary dump station. The maximum stay in this area is 14 days during the summer season and 21 days in spring and fall. The restroom and site seven are accessible. The campground is open from the second Friday in April to late December. All sites are first-come, first-served.
Six rustic cabins, of CCC origin, are available for rent. Minimal furnishings include: single bunk beds, chairs, table, a modern stove, refrigerator, electric lights and fireplace. | <urn:uuid:8595c169-8427-490d-bb16-593cf55fb6c6> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.stateparks.com/s_b_elliott.html | 2024-02-22T06:58:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.954764 | 576 | 1 |
Originally built as Fort Saint Anthony in the 1820s, Fort Snelling is spread across 300 acres in St. Paul, MN, and is strategically situated at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. Today, the Minnesota Historical Society runs the fort, which is located atop a bluff along the Mississippi River. The Northern Star Council for the Boy Scouts of America, which serves communities across central Minnesota and western Wisconsin, believed it was fitting to expand its headquarters there.
The $17 million expansion included the addition of the Peter J. King Family Foundation Leadership Center. The new building features an atrium, welcome area, expanded retail shop, interactive technology room for kids, several meeting rooms, a climbing tower and a team-focused high ropeschallenge course. The Council also moved its two offices in St. Paul and Golden Valley into the center.
As the design and construction team, the concerted effort of Cuningham Group Architecture Inc., Mortenson Construction and the Vermont Slate Company, set out to make the Council’s vision a reality. For starters, they had to be sensitive to what materials were used in the process because the project sat within a historic district, thereby limiting what would be consistent with the building context. In addition, because Minnesota is known for its extreme climate, they needed a wall system and cladding that was able to withstand the large temperature swings. “They wanted the environmental benefits and efficiency of a ventilated rain screen, the look of a natural product, the 100-plus-year durability of natural slate with virtually no maintenance and a price that was competitive with other rain screen systems,” said Ken Rule, owner of Vermont slate.
Natural slate also has historical value as a cladding material. For thousands of years, slate roofing has been used on castles, cathedrals and homes for both roofing and cladding. Revered for being a durable and long-lasting material, the material is capable of withstanding shock from hail, acid rain and even hurricane-force winds without breaking. On average, a quality slate roof has an expected lifespan of more than 100 years but have survived as long as 500 years on some European Castles. Installed as cladding, the life expectany can be even more. As an added bonus, the minimal processing of natural slate makes it one of the most environmentally friendly building materials on the market. “The slate contributed to the overall aesthetic with its modern metallic luster, and yet was a modest complement to the historic 1913 Calvary building that sits adjacent to the BSA leadership center,” said Chad Clow, AIA, NCARB, principal at Cuningham Group Architecture. “The wall system concept and slate exterior detailing provided the performance that we required.”
The decision was made to use Spanish Slate with high-quality control and the ability to remain colorfast for more than a century. The material is highly reflective, adding to its aesthetic value. The job required 15,000 square feet of 16- x 8-inch slate pieces, totaling about 23,000 pieces, with every piece hand split in the factory.
Attaching the slate
While the project team decided on having a natural slate facade, one of the difficulties they ran into was finding a way to install it in a ventilated rain screen system. What was decided on is CupaClad, which is privately marketed and distributed by the Vermont Slate Co. in the U.S. CupaClad is a complete ventilated facade natural slate system combining highly durable structural natural slates with the efficiency of ventilated cladding systems. “There were several challenges [faced during the designing and building process],” said Rule. “First, since no one in Minneapolis had ever installed CupaClad; finding a sub-contractor to install it was difficult. In fact, after a training session at Mortenson to show them how it installs, Mortenson ran the numbers and decided to use their own union carpenters to put it on. In the end, David Wood, the project manager for Mortenson, said they were extremely happy with the results and felt like they had not only saved the project owners money by doing so, but also created extra in-house revenue and profit on the job. The second challenge was in the engineering. The CupaClad system had to meet some very high wind loads for this class of construction. The installation system was designed and quoted to attach to every other metal stud. This was a great idea on saving cost, but not such a great idea when the wind loads were applied. The result was a change to cut the vertical profiles down from 18 feet to about 6 feet and create a skip pattern for the back-up wall attachments in the high-wind load areas.
“It added some brackets to the system and some time for Mortenson, but it was not significant in the end since the overall cost was still less than expected,” Rule went onto say. “The nice thing was that Mortenson’s people did not get excited over a last minute change up and dealt with it very effectively and efficiently.”
The Center, named in honor of the King foundation’s $4 million gift in Northern Star’s capital campaign, opened in the summer of 2018, helping usher in a renewed commitment to the positive influence the Council makes in the lives of the 25-plus communities it serves. “Everyone is very pleased with the installation,” said Rule. “The material works well with other surfacing materials like wood and brick. Clients will definitely be specifying it again in the future.” | <urn:uuid:e232494c-c12a-4ae7-90da-e93f877c2ac7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.stoneworld.com/articles/90703-vermont-slate-meets-historic-and-environmental-requirements | 2024-02-22T08:19:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.973208 | 1,154 | 2 |
Traditional approaches to managing risk are not adequate, and risk professionals must adapt now. Co-authors of Decision-Making in the Polycrisis era, Ben Cattaneo and Daniel Wagner, share their tips for rising to the challenge
The start of every year includes a ritual - the publication of various ‘risk lists’ enumerating the challenges facing organisations and societies over the coming twelve months and beyond.
Many of the topics this year have been studied intently for centuries, including geopolitical upheaval, pandemics, poverty, migration, and societal polarisation.
Others, such as the threats posed by malignant Artificial Intelligence (AI) or ‘virtual terror’, have been added to the multitude of preoccupations borne by decision-makers, legislators, risk managers, and philosophers alike.
For many decision-makers, these preoccupations are accompanied by a sense of powerlessness and being overwhelmed, stemming from the realisation that conventional approaches to addressing these uncertainties are no longer fit-for-purpose in the “Polycrisis Era”.
This term was first used about a 25 years ago to describe the existence of multiple significant crises occurring at the same time.
The component parts of the Polycrisis Era are, in their own way, potentially existential threats to individuals, organisations, and the world. Climate change, pandemics, mass migration, and poverty threaten large swathes of the global population.
Geopolitical upheaval has put the world on its most serious trajectory toward potentially severe inter-state warfare between the great powers and/or among regional states since the Second World War.
What does it mean for the risk profession?
For the risk management profession, the Polycrisis Era will be a time of tremendous difficulty and change, but also opportunity, because decision-makers will be seeking to derive guidance from it.
Worryingly, however, many of the traditional approaches to managing risk are not adequate to meet the challenge.
They tend to treat risks as discrete events divorced from organisational decision-making, whereas the Polycrisis is characterised by hyper-connectivity.
For instance, there is a connection between supply chain disruption risks stemming from virtual terror, climate change, geopolitics and even poverty (for instance, the southern Arabian peninsula where the Houthi rebels operate and are creating havoc on global supply chains, is characterised by extreme poverty).
A shift in mindset and practices is therefore required.
How risk managers can tackle the threats
Here are some of the things risk professionals can do to start rise to the occasion:
Risk professionals need to have more than a superficial understanding of each of the dimensions of the Polycrisis Era – and how they relate to one another. They need to be able to analyse and identify the most relevant factors and speak intelligently about topics as diverse as geopolitics, cyber security, and climate change.
It is not enough to outsource that thinking to elsewhere in the organisation. Rather, risk professionals need to know when to bring subject matter experts to the table, how to facilitate collective understanding, and bring these insights together to assist in enhancing the quality of decision-making.
Be laser-focused on decision quality
One of the key problems with many traditional risk management approaches (in addition to treating individual risks as discrete) is that they are often practiced in isolation from when and how organisations makes decisions. This can no longer be the case.
Risk professionals need to be laser focused on decision quality - helping decision-makers make the best possible decision given the information available at the time a decision is made. Over time, quality decisions add up to something meaningful and contribute to success, as well as create calm and confident leadership.
All risk professionals should understand what the practice of quality decision-making looks like. Many will need to develop skills in decision framing, robust evaluation of options, and an understanding of behavioural science.
Rather than something separate, risk management tools must be integrated within decision-making practices so that the probability of successful outcomes is understood, and critical assumptions are clear to decision-makers when decisions get made.
Tools and techniques such as risk modelling and scenario analysis should be servants to decision-quality, not its master. Activities that are not useful and are merely performative, such as risk matrices, risk registers, risk appetite statements, and risk reports should be minimised or if possible, discarded altogether.
One challenge that typically overwhelms traditional risk management is that many aspects of the Polycrisis Era defy organisational structures and the ways ‘risk ownership’ is classically assigned.
For instance, in a large organisation, geopolitical upheaval can affect all business units, supply chains, and specific functions such as cyber security and governmental affairs. To address this, large or complex organisations can set up internal ‘hubs’ on specific topics such as geopolitics, disruptive technologies or climate change that combine commercial units, functional teams, and subject matter experts around a specific decision or area of concern.
At British Telecom (BT) for example, we established hubs on geopolitics, climate change, and responsible technology. These not only increased internal awareness and addressed aspects of silo-ed thinking and operating, but they also improved decision quality by identifying factors of potentially critical consequence before and alongside decisions relating to markets, products, or emerging regulations.
Anchoring topics to decisions in these hubs is critical as it transforms them from ‘talking shops’ to vehicles that can genuinely help navigate uncertainty.
All of this requires two important character traits on the part of risk professionals: curiosity and courage.
Curiosity enables deep understanding, and successfully facilitates difficult conversations by asking the right questions and looking beyond short-term concerns.
Courage allows risk professionals to ask tough questions, spot dangerous judgements and cognitive biases, call these out, and speak truth to power.
Organisations should look for risk professionals who have both in abundance. Risk professionals should develop these traits as if their careers depend on them.
The Polycrisis Era requires all of us to think differently. What we are all dealing with are no longer abstract lists of ‘risks,’ but real and complex challenges that will determine our futures.
Our individual and collective decision-making capabilities are the chief actors in this drama. If there is any profession which should be able to rise to the challenges posed by the Polycrisis Era, it is the risk management profession. Will it have the courage to do so?

The University of Strathclyde and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on satellite quantum communications, to pave the way for increased joint experiments between the institutions.
Under the agreement, the universities will coordinate so that optical ground stations used by the institutions are able to receive signals from satellites operated by each other.
The MoU is designed to build an international team that shares a consensus on the range of wavelengths used in quantum communications experiments from satellites. Frequency coordination efforts of this kind are regularly carried out in conventional communications.
Enhanced communication between the universities’ respective satellites and ground stations will strengthen partnerships in quantum research between the universities.
Dr Daniel Oi, Senior Lecturer in Strathclyde’s Department of Physics, said: “This is a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate truly global communications secured through quantum means.”
Associate Professor Alexander Ling, a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at NUS, said: “Through this MoU, we will ensure that our respective satellites and ground stations can talk to each other so that we can do joint work on quantum communication.”
Previously, Dr Oi and Professor Ling collaborated to develop quantum entangled photon sources suitable for satellites, to translate laboratory systems into miniaturised components capable of functioning under the harsh conditions of launch and orbit, and to enable the development of space quantum technologies.
CubeSats, a standard type of nanosatellite made of multiples of 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm cubic units, were used for the rapid development and testing of devices and systems at a much faster rate and lower cost than traditional space engineering programmes. The team’s work culminated in the launch of the nanosatellite SpooQy-1 in 2019. This work has inspired similar CubeSat space quantum technology projects worldwide.
A Quantum Technology Cluster is embedded in the Glasgow City Innovation District, an initiative driven by Strathclyde along with Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise, Entrepreneurial Scotland and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. It is envisaged as a global place for quantum industrialisation, attracting companies to co-locate, accelerate growth, improve productivity and access world-class research technology and talent at Strathclyde.
The University of Strathclyde is the only academic institution that has been a partner in all four EPSRC funded Quantum Technology Hubs in both phases of funding. The Hubs are in: Sensing and Timing; Quantum Enhanced Imaging; Quantum Computing and Simulation, and Quantum Communications Technologies.
Strathclyde leads, and CQT at NUS is a member of, the International Network in Space Quantum Technologies, which tackles the challenges of taking terrestrial quantum technologies into space. It is developing satellite-enabled quantum-secure communication, quantum sensing and timing, with applications in combating climate change, space weather forecasting, satellite navigation, extra-terrestrial surveying, fundamental science and enabling a quantum internet. | <urn:uuid:eb3ff917-1df0-466e-bc36-fbd3a27ae47c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.strath.ac.uk/whystrathclyde/news/2022/strathclydeandnationaluniversityofsingaporetoco-ordinatesatellitequantumcommunications/ | 2024-02-22T07:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.908876 | 617 | 1 |
The latest offering by Swearingen & Kelli (AJ Swearingen and Jayne Kelli), Build Myself Up From the Ground, evokes nostalgia for the folk and country music of a bygone era, while forging a path distinctly its own. The duo’s love for the dobro and string arrangements encased in pedal steel fill the self-produced-and-recorded mini-album. Harmonies honed through years of touring together and a closely shared life take center stage. The six tracks feature hidden gems from their vault of songs, a poignant piano ballad, and a heartfelt rendition of Kris Kristofferson’s “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll ever Do Again).” The album cover choice, portraying a living room adorned with antique furniture set upon the grass and embracing tree roots, unveils its significance by reflecting a year marked by upheaval.
The road to recording Build Myself Up From the Ground was fraught with challenges. Amidst the Covid-19 housing shortage and Kelli’s diagnosis of multiple chemical sensitivities due to mold exposure, the couple endured a nomadic lifestyle for almost a year. Their attempts to settle in various locations, including Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, were met with disappointment as homes turned out to have dangerously high levels of mold, or too much fresh paint and carpet. A charming lake house they tried to rent in Michigan, where they envisioned ultimate isolation for writing and recording an album, turned out to be a nightmare. Kelli’s extreme sensitivities proved to be a blessing, as within minutes of entering the house, she found herself in an altered, dream-like state. “Something was radically off,” she says. “It was New Year’s Eve, and we only spent one night there. I packed up our Bengal, Diesel, and told AJ we had to leave right away. Luckily... he listens to me.” While they sought refuge at Jayne’s parents’ house nearby, a maintenance man confirmed the presence of high levels of carbon monoxide. A fatal situation was narrowly avoided. The mold, however, was off the charts, and more failed attempts at finding suitable homes followed. AJ took on the role of a professional mover, orchestrating five different relocations, while Jayne focused on maintaining her physical well-being as a semi-professional biohacker to keep up with a demanding year.
Although recording was postponed, along with album release dates, the pair continued to tour the country while uprooted. Performing shows and connecting with people fueled them and offered stability in a year of instability. The house hunt finally resolved back in Tennessee, where they settled south of Nashville, took a breath, and set up their home studio. The profound loss of AJ’s father to Parkinson’s and dementia was right around the corner with a different kind of ungrounding. This marked the second time they confronted the effects of the disease, having previously lost Jayne’s father to it in 2018. What could have broken a couple served to strengthen AJ and Jayne’s commitment to each other and deepened their artistic drive.
The impermanence of home, of parents, and of life itself unfolds in “This Old House.” The artists croon, “Maybe someday when we’re gone, they’ll tear it down and make a parking lot / or some river will come and wash away all our years / are you ready or not?” The starkly produced “Goodbye,” played and sung plaintively by Kelli in her smoky-rich voice, intertwines with a melancholic wall of backup vocals from Swearingen, creating a haunting shade on the record. “When we finally started laying down these songs, both of us felt a level of gratitude that we hadn’t felt before,” reflects Swearingen. “Maybe we took things for granted in the past.” Nothing soothes the soul like layering harmony upon harmony – as the rootsy title track “Build Myself Up From the Ground” embodies – and having some talented friends help along the way. David G. Henry contributed cello, viola, and violin, adding a dimension of somber beauty to “The River,” “Goodbye,” and “This Old House.” With meticulous intent, pedal steel, richly rendered by longtime friend and Franklin resident Mark Huhta, added lush textures. Close friend and drummer Gary Scott played just the right groove for the Kris Kristofferson tune. Swearingen’s own artistry was showcased through dobro, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums on other tracks, often with Kelli providing a hummed line to translate into production.
Swearingen & Kelli’s previous album, Cold-Hearted Truth, garnered critical acclaim by Americana Highways, Cowboys & Indians, NY Country Swag, and Red Line Roots, who called their approach “beautiful and rare... one that others would do well to emulate.” They continue to pay homage to the spirit of ’60s and ’70s folk and country music, supporting the stage for legends ranging from Crystal Gayle and Kenny Rogers, to folk icons Tom Rush and David Bromberg. With the new work in hand and accompanying tour set, the pair defies the odds and celebrates an indomitable spirit. Home to AJ and Jayne has become the road, the stage, and the people they meet at every show. | <urn:uuid:d4726065-3131-479b-a36a-84d0141721e5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.swearingenandkelli.com/bio | 2024-02-22T08:42:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.955208 | 1,163 | 1 |
I bought the basic model which is more than adequate in my eyes, very strong. Wish I had bought the staging and shelf as now there is a courier charge for them on their own.
Tricky to assemble but a good quality product as is the staging I bought at the same time.
Really pleased with the greenhouse and it does seem very sturdy. The fitters were on time and they did an excellent job putting it together with bits like the water system. Dealing with this company was a pleasure, and would recommend very highly to anyone else.
Very pleased with the greenhouse and the team that installed it were excellent. I agree with the comment that it could do with a handle on the inside as well as the outside.
This was bought to replace the greenhouse damaged in gales. Now all my plants are moved back in I can say that it is very sturdy with plenty of space for two long standings and a series of shelves . The finish is smart and unobtrusive .The easy-slide door is a big improvement on our old greenhouse , with outside lockable handle although Its a pity that there is no handle on the inside of the door to secure the latch when you are working inside in bad weather. It's a bit fiddly to twist into place -will have to come up with an improvisation ! We were very happy with the team who put it up very quickly and professionally | <urn:uuid:0cf10996-020d-4cdc-8003-1ba133ee0c29> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.swgreenhouses.co.uk/6x18-elite-craftsman-aluminium-finish.html | 2024-02-22T06:57:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.990581 | 285 | 1 |
Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary: A Review
On December 16, President-elect Joe Biden nominated Pete Buttigieg to be Secretary of Transportation. “I got to know Pete on the campaign trail,” the president-elect said. “He’s one of the smartest people you'll ever meet, and one of the most humble.” Biden lauded Buttigieg as a “new voice with new ideas, determined to move past old politics.” Early in February, Buttigieg was confirmed by the Senate with bipartisan support in a 86-13 vote.
“This is a moment of tremendous opportunity—to create jobs, meet the climate challenge, and enhance equity for all,” Buttigieg Tweeted. “I’m honored that the President-elect has asked me to serve our nation as Secretary of Transportation.” Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, ran against Biden in the presidential primaries. Although Kamala Harris is Biden’s vice president, Buttigieg is the first of his former primary opponents to be nominated to a cabinet position.
Buttigieg has no experience with transportation or infrastructure on the national level; Biden's website instead boasts his courting of "$200 million in private investment in downtown South Bend" as mayor, creating "innovative public-private partnerships to improve the city’s transportation." Buttigieg is also America’s first openly-gay secretary in a permanent cabinet position. (Richard Grenell, who is also openly gay, temporarily served as acting director of intelligence for three months under President Trump.)
The Associated Press reports that Biden also considered Rahm Emanuel, an old ally who served as President Obama’s chief of staff, for the position. As mayor of Chicago, Emanuel helped revitalize the city’s public transit and airports, and the AP credits him with turning Chiago into “one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the country.” However, Emanuel’s mixed record on race, especially his handling of the police murder of Black teenager Laquan McDonald, made him an unpopular choice with the liberal senators needed for a confirmation vote. Other candidates considered include California’s Secretary of Transportation, David Kim; former deputy Secretary of Transportation, John Porcari; and interim president of the New York Transit Authority, Sarah Feinberg.
The appointment will give Buttigieg experience in national government, which may prove vital should dwindling electoral opportunities in his increasingly-Republican home state of Indiana convince him to make another run at the Presidency. Buttigieg will oversee 53,000 employees and play a vital role in enacting Biden’s proposed climate reforms: Areas managed by the Department of Transportation include oil pipelines, public transit, and airlines. Further, Biden has pledged to “provide every American city with 100,000 or more residents with high-quality zero-emissions public transportation.” The Census Bureau estimates that there are over three hundred such cities in the country, so this ambitious pledge will prove an early test of Buttigieg.
Last week, Buttigieg met with Biden and top Democrats to promise a "clean energy revolution." Now, we'll see if they can deliver one. | <urn:uuid:73d60b91-0e33-4f29-b4dc-854ea3020551> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.swwrookery.com/post/buttigieg-as-transportation-secretary-a-review | 2024-02-22T07:35:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.951826 | 672 | 3 |

Tropical Storm Nicole sent multiple homes in Florida toppling into the Atlantic Ocean Thursday and threatened a row of high-rise condominiums in places where Hurricane Ian washed away the beach and destroyed seawalls only weeks ago.
“Multiple coastal homes in Wilbur-by-the-Sea have collapsed and several other properties are at imminent risk,” Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said in a social media message reported by The Associated Press. He said most bridges to the beachside properties had been closed to all but essential personnel and a curfew was put into effect.

- Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
- The Weekender: The climate news you need.
Wilbur-by-the-Sea is an unincorporated community on a barrier island with only beachfront homes. Next door in Daytona Beach Shores, a strip of high-rise condominiums were evacuated ahead of Nicole’s landfall, and while they remained standing after the storm, their future depends on safety reviews.
A day earlier, hundreds of people sought shelter in the northwestern Bahamas before the approaching storm, AP wrote. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the center of the sprawling storm made landfall on Great Abaco island around midday Wednesday with estimated maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour.
Nicole was the first hurricane to hit the Bahamas since Hurricane Dorian, a Category 5 storm that devastated the archipelago in 2019. Officials said that more than 520 people were in more than two dozen shelters. Flooding and power outages were reported in Grand Abaco. For storm-weary Floridians, it is only the third November hurricane to hit their shores since recordkeeping began in 1853.
Authorities were especially concerned about a large Haitian community in Great Abaco that was destroyed by Dorian and has since grown from 50 to 200 acres (20 to 80 hectares).
“Do not put yourselves in harm’s way,” said Zhivago Dames, assistant commissioner of police information, as he urged everyone to stay indoors. “Our first responders are out there. However, they will not put their lives in danger.”
In Florida, the homeowners’ association at the Marbella condominiums had just spent US$240,000 to temporarily rebuild the seawall Ian destroyed in September, said Connie Hale Gellner, whose family owns a unit there. Live video from the building’s cameras showed Nicole’s storm surge taking it all way.
“We knew it wasn’t meant to stop a hurricane, it was only meant to stop the erosion,” Gellner said. But after Nicole, the building’s pool deck “is basically in the ocean,” Gellner said. “The problem is that we have no more beach. So even if we wanted to rebuild, they’ll probably condemn the building because the water is just splashing up against the building.”
Nicole was sprawling, covering nearly the entire weather-weary state of Florida while also reaching into Georgia and the Carolinas before dawn on Thursday. Tropical storm-force winds extended as far as 450 miles (720 kilometres) from the centre in some directions as Nicole turned northward over central Florida.
Nicole’s winds did minimal damage, but its storm surge was more destructive than might have been in the past because seas are rising as the planet’s ice melts due to climate change, said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer. It adds up to higher coastal flooding, flowing deeper inland, and what used to be once-in-a-century events will happen almost yearly in some places, he said.
“It is definitely part of a picture that is happening,” Oppenheimer said. “It’s going to happen elsewhere. It’s going to happen all across the world.”
A man and a woman were killed by electrocution when they touched downed power lines in the Orlando area, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said. Nicole also caused flooding well inland, as parts of the St. Johns River were at or above flood stage and some rivers in the Tampa Bay area also neared flood levels, according to the National Weather Service.
The worst damage appeared to be along the coast in Volusia County. Krista Dowling Goodrich, who manages 130 rental homes in Wilbur-by-the-Sea and Daytona Beach Shores as director of sales and marketing at Salty Dog Vacations, had witnessed backyards collapsing into the ocean just ahead of the storm.
In the aftermath, the backsides of about seven colourful houses along Highway A1A had disappeared. One modern house was missing two bedrooms and much of its living room as water lapped below its foundations. On a partially collapsed wall, decorations spelled out “Blessed” and “Grateful.” Goodrich burst into tears when she saw it.
“Half of the house is gone, but we did manage to get out family photos yesterday,” Goodrich said. “It is overwhelming when you see this. These are hard-working people who got to this point in their lives and now they lose it all.”
In Daytona Beach Shores, where beachfront bathrooms attached to the city’s Beach Safety Ocean Rescue building collapsed, officials deemed multiple multi-story buildings unsafe, and went door-to-door telling people to grab their possessions and leave.
“These were the tall high-rises. So the people who wouldn’t leave, they were physically forcing them out because it’s not safe,” Goodrich said. “I’m concerned for the infrastructure of the area right now because once the seawalls are gone, they’re not going to just let people go back in… there will be a lot of people displaced for a while.”
Nicole made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane at about 3 AM Thursday near Vero Beach, but caused no significant damage there, officials said Thursday. Part of a fishing pier washed away in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. But the brunt of the storm hit north of its centre. By 1 PM, Nicole’s maximum sustained winds were down to 45 miles/70 kilometres per hour as it moved toward Tallahassee.
The rare November hurricane left south Florida sunny and calm as it moved up the peninsula, but could dump as much as six inches (15 centimetres) of rain over Blue Ridge Mountains by Friday, the hurricane center said. Flash and urban flooding will be possible as the rain spreads into the eastern Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and New England through Saturday.
All 67 Florida counties were under a state of emergency. U.S. President Joe Biden also approved an emergency declaration for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, ordering federal help for the tribal nation. Many Seminoles live on six reservations around the state. The tribe also owns the Hard Rock Cafe franchise, with several of its hotels and casinos in Nicole’s path.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a Thursday news conference in Tallahassee that about 333,000 households were without electricity at mid-morning, about 2.9% of the state’s total. DeSantis said there were 17,000 electric linemen ready to begin restoring power and that numerous other assets including rescue boats and vehicles would be deployed as needed.
“We’re ready and we have resources to respond to whatever post-storm needs may arise,” he said.
Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort announced they likely would not open as scheduled Thursday. Almost two dozen school districts were closing schools and 15 shelters had opened along Florida’s east coast, the governor said.
Parts of Florida were devastated by Hurricane Ian, which struck as a Category 4 storm. Ian destroyed homes and damaged crops, including orange groves, across the state—damage that many are still dealing with—and sent a storm surge of up to 13 feet (4 metres) onshore, causing widespread destruction.

Boris Johnson has been using a diverse range of buzz words potentially lacking in substance to describe his plan for a ‘green recovery’. The prime example of this is his Build Back Better campaign as part of his coronavirus recovery plan.
The Build Back Better projects in the £5bn investment plan include: £1.5bn for hospital maintenance, £100m for 29 road network projects, £500,000 to £1m for improvements to parks, high street, and transport.
However, there have been a number of criticisms of these suggestions the first being the roads programme, which will increase emissions.
His ‘new deal’ is planned to emulate the New Deal policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt who after the Wall Street Crash launched a large and expensive investment programme. Boris Johnson aims to put £5bn towards accelerating infrastructure projects as part of the government’s economic growth strategy.
This is timely as the UK economy shrunk by a record 20.4% as a result of coronavirus and the lockdown measures in April.
The Prime Minister is expected to deliver economic revival alongside his green recovery. He has attempted to do this by pledging to put jobs, infrastructure and cutting carbon emissions at the centre of the government’s economic growth. However, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the PM’s plans fell “woefully short” of an economic recovery package recently announced in Germany.
The green measures introduced contained £100m to research and develop direct air capture and the insultation improvement scheme with a limit of £5,000 for homeowners. However, Noble Francis, economics director at the Construction Products Association, has warned that the government had a very poor record on energy efficiency retrofit programmes.
The view that the approach isn’t good enough has been echoed by other commentators. Despite making a further £1bn available to improve the energy efficiency of public sector buildings and supporting 140,000 green jobs.
Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace UK, said the Chancellor’s announcements were “dwarfed by green recovery commitments in Germany and France”.
The perceived general consensus is that the Prime Minister isn’t delivering the green recovery that was promised and that he needs to up his game to deliver on his promises for the UK’s economic revival and make a green recovery a priority. | <urn:uuid:f0c8449f-8875-4b19-845f-c0c97c912349> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.theicon.org.uk/rebecca-gaskill-on-building-back-better-pm-needs-to-up-his-game/ | 2024-02-22T08:52:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.972169 | 486 | 3 |
However you feel about it, excited, scared, or nonplussed, as in ‘what even is AI?’, AI’s wordsmithing incarnation Chat GPT is already having a huge impact on how we create all kinds of content.
Like any new disruptive technology, AI and ChatGPT generate their fair share of fears and fantasies.
In the form of ChatGPT, AI becomes your groovy wordsmithing cyber slave. It does all the hard yakka needed to create kickass content to market your business. No more wracking your busy business brain for ideas. No more taking time to turn those ideas into cracking good posts.
Just hand the job to Chat GPT, and huzzah…oodles of great ideas and a tsunami of fully formed posts tumble out of its terrifyingly smart robot brain.
AI will do humans out of their jobs. Who’d spend scarce dollars on living, breathing copywriters, marketers, graphic designers etc., when AI DYI does the trick?
As a business owner, worrying about AI-induced redundancies probably isn't keeping you awake at night. Fair enough.
But perhaps you’re a tad bit uneasy about how AI might ‘influence’ the algorithms that drive and draw customers to your business. There is little doubt that AI bias is a thing, and we need to look out for it.
In short, humans program AI, and in the process, they inadvertently (or maybe even deliberately) infuse its cleverly engineered brain with their personal prejudices and assumptions.
The result? Some of us miss out or get misrepresented. Some forces for good get overtaken by forces for not-so-good. You get the idea.
At least as we ‘know’ them at the moment, because AI is evolving faster than….. [add the ‘speeding bullet ‘style cliché of your choice]
AI’s ferocious data-gathering powers (think Google on steroids) have huge global do-good potential in any research-driven area connected to our well-being. Think cures for killer illnesses and slowing climate change.
You can harness these powers for your business by using AI’s awesome info-amassing capacity to research your market, add a chat function to your website, brainstorm ways to generate leads and generally engage your customers.

After years of widespread doubts about its existence, it’s nearly impossible to deny the reality of climate change now. With extreme weather events becoming more frequent and sea levels rising worldwide, it’s clear that humans’ impact on the environment is now irreversible.
One effect of climate change? More frequent — and more severe — droughts and floods. If you think it’s a nuisance now when your basement leaks when it rains, be prepared for increasingly worse basement water leaks and floods. A 2013 World Bank study found that climate change could result in annual flood damage costs exceeding $1 trillion for the world’s coastal cities.
To save yourself from the costs of repairing water damage in your home’s foundation, here are some ways you can prepare for the worsening impact of climate change on homeowners and their homes’ basement water leaks:
When moving to a new house, check flood maps
As stated before, all the world’s population centers located around coastlines can be expected to be hit the worst by climate change. Because of this, you shouldn’t relocate before consulting a flood map to see which areas are at risk of frequent flooding. If you can’t avoid moving to a coastal area, buy a home that is at an elevated height to avoid chronic basement water leaks and water damage.
Keep valuables out of the basement
With increasingly strong flooding, basement waterproofing might not always be able to prevent water leaks through your foundation. To minimize the damage of these floods, make sure you keep all your valuables in the upper parts of your home.
Invest in a foundation sealing
One of the best ways to keep water damage at bay is to have your home’s foundation sealed. It’s a good idea even if you don’t live in a coastal area — just take a look at the numerous floods that plagued the midwest this summer. If you’re custom-building your next home, you should choose flood damage-resistant building materials.

Frej – Chen Lichao
En Frej i Kina – mycket välbyggd av Chen Lichau i Fuzhou (ungefär mitt emellan Shanghai and Hongkong).
"Finally my Frej project was done! Almost 2 years!
I made her debut on water in a paddling marathon about 63km around the Nan Tai Island in Fuzhou, China in Dec 1, 2018.
I'm pretty satisfied with this build. In my opinion, It's not a efficient kayak for long touring. But It is fast enough... and easy to maneuver and easy to turn 90 degrees using your paddle. When skeg down, it tracks very well. Now I had trouble slipping my lower body into this ocean cockpit, haha. I need more exercises to get accustomed to the type of cockpit. The back deck is low. And without a backrest, I think it is a benefit when rolling. In the marathon, I jam the foam block of the lifejacket into between my lower back and back of cockpit rim so I feel comfortable in my lumbar. I'm planing to add a detachable backrest to it in case for a long trip.
It's not my first attemp in building kayak. Actually I had lots of experiences from previous builds. So this time I decided to make it different. I prototype many parts of the kayak, including seat, hatch cover, hatch gasket, cockpit rim and made moulds for them, yes, they were one-off mold... I used a lot of carbon in final product and I think that was cool. Oh, I mold my own buttom to make the seat mold, haha. In order to make it look awesome, I made a spray booth in my homeshop. I paint it automotive polyurethane acrylic paint, I looks gorgeous but in her debut, she got lots of scratch. Luckily it's not made out of steel." | <urn:uuid:f59f3a3e-0e01-4da0-b3f1-7dda4450a1c6> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.thomassondesign.com/nyheter/frej-chen-lichao | 2024-02-22T07:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.949315 | 405 | 1 |

Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world and the largest in Latin America, has become a great economic power. It has diminished its dependence on external resources and is now a major partner in national and international development efforts. Nationally, Brazil continues to address rural poverty, income inequality, social exclusion, deforestation and forest degradation.
The Amazon is the single largest remaining tropical rainforest and hosts the largest collection of living plant and animal species on Earth - one of every ten species in the world, and one in five of all bird and fish species. It produces 20% of the world’s oxygen and 16% of its freshwater and is home to 30 million people. Its sheer scale - equivalent to the continental U.S. - drives weather patterns, agricultural production, jobs and well-being in the hemisphere.
For more than 50 years, USAID has supported Brazil. Today, USAID works closely with the Brazilian government and civil society to build sustainable socio-economic development solutions as well as promoting private sector engagement towards innovative solutions for biodiversity conservation in the Amazon. With a long-standing, ongoing program for biodiversity conservation in the Brazilian Amazon, USAID/Brazil implements a DOAG, a bilateral agreement with key agencies in the Government of Brazil to support biodiversity conservation and sustainable development activities. Information about activities under this DOAG, Partnership for Conservation of Amazon Biodiversity can be found here: https://pcabhub.org/en-us
Departing from a traditional donor’s role, USAID/Brazil transitioned from development assistance to a “Strategic Partnerships” mission in 2014 and has been catalyzing transformative and innovative partnerships since then. | <urn:uuid:1ec7853c-6924-4b1d-a5e0-2811eb1fcfb3> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.usaid.gov/brazil | 2024-02-22T07:13:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.923768 | 338 | 2 |
The best places for boating generally have a few important things in common.
First, the best boating lakes offer you multiple ramps or access points. In other words, launching and docking your boat is super easy because you aren’t limited to a single ramp or marina. Second, there are plenty of opportunities for fishing or other types of water activities. Third, there are protected bays or inlets that provide calm waters for boaters of all experience levels.
BEST BOATING LAKES IN THE US
Now that you know what to look for when making a decision about where to go boating, check out a few examples of some of the best boating lakes in the US. Which would you visit first?
LAKE HAVASU, ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA
With over 400 miles of shoreline and a prime location in a temperate climate, Lake Havasu is often considered one of the top lakes for boating in the U.S. There are a number of marinas and launch ramps that make it simple to enjoy the boating lifestyle. Figuring out where to rent a boat on Lake Havasu isn’t difficult either. There are dozens of boat rental companies that offer houseboats, powerboats, kayaks, and canoes.
LAKE OF THE OZARKS, MISSOURI
If you are wondering where to boat in the Midwest, Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri is an option worth exploring. The lake covers over 84 square miles and is a well-known summer boating destination. Lake of the Ozarks has approximately nine public access ramps, several full service marinas, boat rental companies, scenic boat tours, and fishing charters.
KISSIMMEE CHAIN OF LAKES, FLORIDA
The Kissimmee Chain of Lakes includes several lakes, starting with Cypress Lake in the north to Lake Kissimmee in the south.

This is not the science fair of your childhood. It’s better.
There are few things I miss about being a kid as much as the frequency of basic science fair experiments. Vinegar and baking soda volcano? Sign me up. Dove bar in the microwave? Absolutely flabbergasting. Anything involving dry ice? Yes please.
Apparently I’m not alone in my fascination with all things scientific because Science World’s fifth annual event, the Science of Cocktails, will return on February 6, and it is promising to be bigger than ever with fundraising estimates at nearly $300,000.
And really, what could be better than an event that liquors you up and then shows you cool science things? Plus there’s food from some of the top chefs in Vancouver (like Curtis Luk of Cibo Trattoria and Alvin Pillay of Donnely Group). That’s the peak of good living if you ask me.
Vancouver’s top bartenders will whip up specially-crafted creations at over 30 stations that show off their scientific prowess. Think beeswax infused whiskey and Melon Ball Martinis made before your eyes using the process of reverse spherification.
The drinks are tasty and the experiments are cool to watch—so it’s a fun event, even if your eyes glaze over at the mere mention of the periodic table. And for those who are more scientifically minded, the bartenders are all too happy to explain the molecular makeup of their mixology.
The Science World team will also be there to demonstrate some thrilling scientific elements including 3-foot lycopodium fireballs and dry ice-filled soap bubbles.
“There’s lots of neat new things coming in,” said Science World’s Director of Performance and Fun Times Brian Anderson. “Every year it’s just building on the best of the best of the best to find more foods and more exotic cocktail concepts.”
The event will be hosted by comedian Peter Carlone of Peter n’ Chris sketch troupe, and local drag celebrity Conni Smudge.
Throughout the night, there will also be a silent auction, a bartending competition (this year’s theme is sustainability) and an award for the best dish.
Janet Wood, CEO of Science World, says this year they’re anticipated to have raised over $1 million since the event’s inception in 2015.
All proceeds go to the Science World’s Class Field Trip Bursary program – the program has benefited over 23,000 kids – so your drunken revelry is for a good cause. There are a limited number of general admission tickets remaining but plenty of VIP tickets (which include early admission and a VIP lounge amongst other things).

In a case that turns on a law firm’s ethical obligations to avoid conflicts of interest, a large D.C. law firm has once again been procedurally rebuffed in its effort to have a federal judge in the District of Columbia declare that it has not violated any ethics rules in a high-profile environmental case.
Patton Boggs, a major D.C. firm, represents various parties in Ecuador that are involved in high-stakes environmental litigation against Chevron. A lobbying subsidiary of Patton Boggs, the Breaux Lott Leadership Group, has done work on behalf of Chevron on similar issues. Gibson Dunn, the law firm representing Chevron, is taking the position that Patton Boggs has a conflict of interest and has tried to have Patton Boggs removed from the case.
Patton Boggs moved in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for a declaratory ruling that it does not have such a conflict. Last April, however, U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy dismissed this case, finding that the courts that are actually hearing the environmental cases against Chevron are best equipped to handle that issue. Judge Kennedy also ruled that Patton Boggs could not amend its complaint to allege that Chevron and Gibson Dunn had tortiously interfered with its contract with the Ecuadorian plaintiffs and had engaged in a civil conspiracy, since Patton Boggs had not alleged facts suggesting that they had caused any actual breach of the contract.
Patton Boggs moved for reconsideration of the dismissal and sought leave to add new claims to its complaint. On July 8, 2011, however, Judge Kennedy denied this reconsideration motion as well. The judge restated his prior ruling that other courts, not his, were best situated to resolve the issue of whether Patton Boggs had a conflict of interest and that it would be prudent for him to abstain from deciding that issue.
In response to Patton Boggs’ contention that he had applied the wrong standard for tortious interference, Judge Kennedy found that the law firm’s new theory of tortious interference was not viable because at no point did the firm assert that it had suffered any pecuniary loss from the actions of Chevron or Gibson Dunn. “Damages are an essential element of any tortious interference claim,” Judge Kennedy wrote. | <urn:uuid:6a777174-f542-46df-939a-0bea0bb826ee> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.virginiabusinesslitigationlawyer.com/dc-law-firm-loses-motion-to-re/ | 2024-02-22T06:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.97891 | 477 | 1 |
The new "Climatescope" report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) suggests that in "emerging-market economies", new solar projects can cost less than building new wind sites.
Taking data from 58 of these non-OECD markets, including China, India and Brazil, shows that Capex for wind projects has dropped to $1.65m/MW, compared with $1.66m/MW. Capex costs, however, are not generally seen as a guide to overall competitiveness.
"Solar investment has gone from nothing — literally nothing — like five years ago to quite a lot. A huge part of this story is China, which has been rapidly deploying solar and helping other countries finance their own projects," BNEF head of US policy analysis Ethan Zindler told Bloomberg news.
BNEF said the price of solar has fallen to half that of coal in some markets, citing the $29.10/MWh in the recent Chile power tender.
The data firm also suggested installed solar capacity in 2016 will exceed that of wind for the first time. It predicts 70GW of new solar capacity, 11GW more than wind.
According to the new report, non-OECD countries were investing and deploying more renewable energy than the member nations, led by the Chinese and Indian markets. | <urn:uuid:545c3a86-ba9e-436d-bf97-f37d24ae3f3e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1418980/solar-cheaper-wind-says-bnef | 2024-02-22T06:44:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.969701 | 272 | 2 |

Social Marketing in Emergency Medical Care Services
Emergency Medical Care is the area of public service, where we face an outcome, before having the opportunity address the challenges and health issues and prevent, at times the worst, from happening. The target of emergency care professionals is to create sustainability in human behaviors that help to improve health and well-being. Currently, in many situations we can observe that people neglect their own health and demonstrate resistance to preventive care services. This common belief that “unless something happens”, medical centers are a “no-go” place. The reality, however, is different. The government is placing a lot of emphasis on promoting free services, medical evaluation and training for basic medical care, available to the majority of the population in the country. If you ask me about the specific behaviors that I would like to see in people, I believe that the health-awareness and basic first aid literacy should be in the focus of the healthcare services in general and Emergency Medical Care Department. These practices are expressed through health-enhancing physical activities appreciation, healthy diet and regular medical check and basic school and university training on provision of first help in emergency situations. In my organizations, marketing and social services department put a lot of efforts in promoting the above activities through internal advertisement campaign, personal interviews with the patients, conducted by social service professionals and regular free-of-charge first care training for the community.
The role of social marketing is extremely important in the development of the above mentioned behaviors, and it is important to remember that the difference between education and social marketing is the measure of success. In education, the role of tutor is to transfer the knowledge, and the responsibility of social marketing is to create behavior patterns. Social marketing activities within the public sector, such as promotion of regular physical exercises, campaigns for creation awareness of breast cancer, negative impact of tobacco and other campaigns, can significantly reduce the need for emergency care and improve public health. The difficulty of the social marketing in the public sector, however, is significant, as it attempts to change comfortable behaviors for less convenient and pleasurable habits. Education will not be able to complete this objective due to lack of focus on cognitive behavior. With that in mind, the role of social marketing is paramount. | <urn:uuid:c12e2867-9f83-4256-8416-d8a3f9d78452> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.wowessays.com/free-samples/free-essay-on-social-marketing-positive-behaviors-in-emergency-services/ | 2024-02-22T07:10:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.960811 | 455 | 1 |

In the pulsating world of tech, one device has recently stolen the spotlight — the Humane™ AI Pin. Billed as the first display-less smartphone, it has ignited conversations, capturing imaginations and raising eyebrows in equal measure. The excitement is electric — a wearable projecting your phone onto your hand. But as the hype settles, skepticism emerges. Questions about its real-world utility have rippled across the tech landscape.
Humane™, founded by former Apple executives, Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno (she/her), has launched the Humane AI Pin, a $699 screenless smartphone replacement featuring a magnetic battery pack, voice commands, and a laser projector for interactive gestures on the user’s palm.
Backed by a formidable $230 million and high-profile tech giants like Microsoft, OpenAI etc, the applause resonates, so too does the critique from users and tech analysts alike. Join us on a journey that goes beyond the hype, delving into the real-world questions about the Humane AI Pin’s viability. Is it a revolutionary step into the future, or a lofty promise still searching for stability? Let’s find out.
Credibility Crisis: AI Pin Struggles with Usability and Reliability Concerns
“Humane’s ambition to disrupt the smartphone is audacious, creative and even irrational; the kind of thing Silicon Valley is supposed to be known for, but which critics bemoan, in recent years has turned into incremental frivolities ”, Erin Griffith, Tripp Mickle, The New York Times.
Limited Functionality: The Humane Ai Pin faces critical challenges due to the absence of a conventional screen, limiting its usability for essential smartphone functions. The decision not to support apps further diminishes its functionality, hindering users from accessing a diverse range of applications.
Lack of Web Browsing: The Humane Ai Pin does not have a web browser. This limitation is a significant drawback, especially when the device is positioned as a smartphone replacement. Without a web browser, users may be limited in accessing real-time and accurate information, reducing the overall utility of the device.
Uncomfortable User Experience: The above demo video depicts individuals incorporating the AI Pin into their daily activities such as walking, shopping, and dining. However, a notable concern arises as using voice commands in public settings can seem socially awkward and potentially antisocial.
“The immediate problem that came to my mind is that I do not, ever, want to be talking to a voice command device in a public setting. It’s weird! It’s antisocial behavior!’, Katie Notopoulos, Senior Correspondent, Business Insider.
Inaccuracies and Reliability Issues: Humane Pin’s AI Mic, powered by GPT-4, demonstrated inaccuracies in providing information during the presentation. It incorrectly identified the best place to view the April 2024 solar eclipse. This suggests a fundamental issue with the reliability of the AI assistant, especially when it comes to providing accurate information.
Impractical Gesture Controls: The Humane Ai Pin’s gesture controls are quite impractical in everyday use. For instance : the requirement to twist one’s palm while it’s extended, raises concerns about the feasibility of such movements in real-world scenarios. Users may find it uncomfortable to perform these gestures consistently. The lack of familiarity with such unconventional gestures could lead to frustration undermining the overall usability and user-friendliness of the device.
Concerns About Long-Term Viability: The future of the AI Pin could be a potential concern, especially if OpenAI were to sunset its GPT-4 API or if Humane were to face financial difficulties. The dependence on external technologies and services raises questions about the long-term viability and sustainability of the Humane Ai Pin.
High Cost: The Humane Ai Pin’s price point of $700, coupled with a mandatory $24 monthly subscription, is highlighted as a significant concern. Given the high cost, consumers would expect a more refined and reliable product, raising questions about the value proposition.
“It’s also too early to tell whether Humane’s hope that the Pin can help people to live more in the moment will prove true, or whether it will simply provide a new way to be unhealthily obsessed with technology.” Paresh Dave, Senior Tech Reporter, WIRED.
AI as the Interface: Bill Gates’ Vision Echoes in Humane’s AI Tech
One of the main drawbacks triggering negative responses is due to the AI Pin’s lack of apps and screen. Despite potential drawbacks, John Koetsier, Senior Contributor from Forbes highlights an interesting perspective. Bill Gates recently discussed the evolving role of AI, predicting the decline of apps and emphasizing “AI as the Interface of the Future’’. Interestingly, Humane’s approach aligns with this vision, utilizing a new AI software framework to eliminate the need for apps, connecting users to the right AI experiences.
“Humane’s new tech is probably telling us something about the future development of smartphones and other devices, and not just its own current first iteration of an AI Pin.”, John Koetsier, Senior Contributor, Forbes.
$230 Million Gamble: Will the Humane AI Pin Transform Tech or Fade Away?
While the Pin sparks curiosity and offers a glimpse into a novel way of human-tech interaction, it currently appears as a venture laden with uncertainties. Only time will unveil whether it evolves into a groundbreaking invention or remains a bold but unsuccessful endeavor in the tech landscape.
“I’d love to be proven wrong and find out that it’s only the early promotional messaging that’s a bit dry and not the product or experience. But there’s nothing about the AI Pin that gives me that essential internal fizz that encourages me to open my wallet and find out”, Andy Boxall, Technology Journalist, Digital Trends Media Group.

All of us depend on electricity to meet basic needs such as heating, cooling and lighting our homes. We also depend on electricity to meet the transportation, 沟通, 商业, 休闲, industrial and health care requirements of our society. 无论我们在哪里用电, power frequency electric and/or magnetic 字段 (EMF) are present.
Electric 字段 are created around appliances and wires wherever a 电压存在. You can think of electric voltage as the pressure of water in a garden hose – the more voltage, the higher the electric field 强度. Electric 字段 are present when an electrical appliance is 即使关机也能插上电源. Electric 字段 diminish rapidly with distance from the source and can be shielded by objects such as 树木或建筑物的墙壁.
Magnetic 字段 are created whenever there is a flow of electric current. This can be thought of as the flow of water in a garden hose. As the amount of current flowing increases, so does the magnetic field. Magnetic 字段 are present when there is a flow of electricity, such as when an electrical appliance is operating. Magnetic 字段 are measured in milligauss (mG), and diminish rapidly with distance from the source, but are not shielded by objects such as trees or buildings. The level of magnetic 字段 from electrical appliances in homes can be as high as or higher than the magnetic 字段 people may experience under power lines. Magnetic field 强度 from power lines depend on many factors, 包括线路的设计, the amount of current the line carries, 以及到直线的距离.

For over 40 years, there have been many scientific studies conducted on power frequency EMF. Extensive reviews and research conducted by leading public health agencies – such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. 国家 Cancer Institute (NCI) (one of the U.S. 国家 Institutes of Health) – have not established that power frequency EMF cause any adverse effects in 人或动物.
Based on a recent in-depth review of the scientific literature, the WHO concluded that "current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic 字段."2
Similarly, the 美国国家癌症研究所 has concluded that, “Numerous epidemiologic studies and comprehensive reviews of the scientific literature have evaluated possible associations between exposure to non-ionizing EMFs and risk of 癌症 in children. 没有一致的证据证明 association between any source of non-ionizing EMF and 癌症 has been found.”

Two international organizations, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers International Committee on Electromagnetic 安全 (ICES), have developed exposure guidelines that 得到了世卫组织的认可.
Exceedance of these safety standards requires that a person be exposed to EMF levels higher than those listed above for any duration of time. There are no time restrictions for exposures below the threshold.
At PSE, safety is always our top priority. We rely on the findings of reputable, international and national scientific and public health organizations and agencies that have reviewed the research on EMF. 我们知道你可能有 concerns about EMF and work to address 这些关切是:

By Andrew Osborn in Minsk
In a spartan flat in Belarus, a country that America calls Europe's last dictatorship, seven bright young actors and actresses are risking their jobs, their health and their freedom to rehearse a new play.
Called Belivud, it hints at what it is like to live in Belarus under the authoritarian, Soviet-style leadership of President Aleksander Lukashenko.
The main character, a young Belarussian man, is tormented by "voices". His despair drives him out of his mind and, in a disturbing finale, he dies.
It is a fitting and depressing metaphor for modern-day Belarus, which feels like a cross between George Orwell's 1984 and the Soviet Union of around 1950.
Mr Lukashenko, a former prison guard and collective-farm boss, has ruled this former Soviet republic since 1994 as if Stalinism had never gone out of fashion. He is up for "re-election" on 19 March and few expect him to lose what his opponents say is a rigged contest of spectacularly unfair proportions. Ominously, he warns that he will use force to disperse public protests, which he fears, perhaps rightly, could be a prelude to a Ukraine-style velvet revolution.
His critics claim that freedom of speech in Belarus has been crushed, that people who disagree with a man who likes to be known as Batka [Father] are thrown into jail, and that citizens who show signs of subversion are sacked or lose their university places.
Mr Lukashenko counters that he has delivered stability, that the economy is on the up and that, thanks to him, Belarus has avoided the anarchy that has beset many other former Soviet republics.
State television portrays Belarus as a mini-idyll where pensions are paid on time, where wages are rising, and where order prevails. The streets of Minsk, the capital, are spotlessly clean and devoid of the beggars, stray dogs and prostitutes who occupy neighbouring Russia's streets.
Advertising is scarce, police, uniformed and non-uniformed, seem to be on every street corner and people act and address one another with a civility that expired in Russia when the USSR collapsed.
But if art really does imitate life and the underground theatre scene in Belarus is a microcosm of society, then the signs are less encouraging. Belarus appears to have turned into a country that time and the outside world have forgotten. The Free Theatre Company, which is patronised and part-financed by the playwright Tom Stoppard and the former Czech president Vaclav Havel, officially doesn't exist.
It has no premises, cannot afford to pay salaries, and performs to small, hand-picked audiences in flats and nightclubs whose location is disclosed to ticket-holders the day before a performance. Most of its actors have official day jobs in state theatre, though many have found themselves blackballed.
Meanwhile, state theatre churns out an inoffensive classical repertoire that has changed little since Soviet times and whose relevance to modern-day Belarus can only be guessed at.
The Free Theatre project, the brainchild of a playwright, Nikolai Khalezin, 41, and his wife Natalia, 32, is very different. Khalezin, who has been jailed in the past for taking part in anti-government protests, has penned a play called Jeans Generation that is perhaps his most daring.
The production is openly anti-Lukashenko because, if Belarus ever does have a velvet revolution, it will probably be called the denim or jeans revolution. Denim because when a protester, Nikita Sasim, was beaten up last year for brandishing first a national Belarussian flag, and then a youth group flag, he took off his denim shirt and made an improvised denim flag.
The bewildered riot police didn't know what to do and Khalezin says the gesture and the jeans shirt became the symbol of freedom and resistance. Many young people who oppose the government now attach denim ribbons to their bags as a sign of solidarity.
"Jeans have become a symbol of freedom," Khalezin told The Independent. "You'll never see Lukashenko in jeans. He only ever dons a dark suit or an ice-hockey outfit."
Watching Khalezin perform Jeans Generation, declaiming a long counter-culture ode that is a semi-autobiographical account of a freedom fighter, is to see what he believes are the beginnings of an irreversible anti-Lukashenko backlash.
As his words pour forth, a DJ spins a succession of hip records whose heavy bass lines give the project a glamorous Trainspotting-like feel. Mr Khalezin, a former journalist who says all three of the newspapers he worked for have been shut by the government, says many Belarussians have had enough of living in a climate of fear but are too afraid to say so.
"At first, it was interesting to observe a small monster [Lukashenko], then it was funny, and now people have simply had enough. They are sick of it."
One person for whom the demise of the Lukashenko regime cannot come too soon enough is Svetlana Zavadskaya, 33. Her husband, Dmitri, was a cutting-edge television cameraman who used to be the President's personal cameraman. He is one of what Belarussians call "the disappeared". Their bodies have never been found, the government death squad that murdered them has never been tried, and their funerals have never been held.
Dmitri Zavadsky, 28 at the time, disappeared on 7 July 2000 after giving an interview to a newspaper in which he accused government ministers of selling arms to Chechen rebels fighting against Russia, Belarus' most important ally.
The story was embarrassing and threatened to disrupt relations with Moscow which props up Mr Lukashenko with a steady flow of cheap oil and gas.
"He [Dmitri] was critical of the authorities and the regime and of Lukashenko," said Svetlana, her voice cracking with emotion. "They tortured him, broke his spine and killed him."
"For me and my family, regime change is important so we can find out exactly what happened and have the guilty punished."
The man she accuses of ordering her husband's murder, Viktor Sheiman, heads Mr Lukashenko's re-election campaign, while the man she believes who pulled the trigger is Dmitri Pavlichenko, who still works for the police and recently beat up one of Mr Lukashenko's rivals. The Council of Europe has called for both men to be charged and they have been banned from visiting the EU or the US.
Mr Lukashenko, who is accused of ordering a cover-up, does not even pretend to care about the disappearances. Last week, he mockingly told a congress of loyalists how Ms Zavadskaya recently held a meeting with the US President, George Bush. He claimed he couldn't even remember her dead husband's name.
In an interview with The Independent, Aleksander Milinkevich, the main rival to Mr Lukashenko, said he would call on people to take to the streets of Minsk, the capital, on 19 March. Anxious to stress that he wished to avoid bloodshed, he said that, if independent exit polls showed he had won more than 50 per cent of the vote, he and his supporters would move to take power with the help of the security forces, some of whom he thinks are ready to switch sides.
He frets that what he calls "the zombification" of the population by state media will work against him. "Some of the slaves don't want to be free. A portion of society will always vote for Lukashenko because they need a vojd [dictator]."
Life in Europe's 'Last Dictatorship'
* Belarus was one of the Soviet Union's 15 republics and suffered appallingly in the Second World War. One in three people died.
* Minsk, the capital, has been largely rebuilt since 1944, and is a prime example of Stalinist architecture.
* With a population of 10 million, Belarus relies heavily on agriculture but is also well known for making tractors, trucks and fridges. It also trades on upgrading Soviet-era weapons systems, mainly for African countries and the Middle East.
* Belarus became independent in 1991 but it has a long history of being occupied by Poland and Russia. It is now propped up by Russia, which sells it oil and gas at Russian prices in exchange for influence and a reliable anti-Western ally.
* The average wage is $225 (?130) a month but rural people are said to get by on as little as $50.
* Belarussians claim Kirk Douglas as their most famous son. The Arsenal footballer Alexander Hleb is also a native son. | <urn:uuid:60798f00-df9e-486f-82e7-529454bfd1b5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://data.minsk.by/belarusnews/032006/97.html | 2024-02-23T18:29:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.978474 | 1,852 | 1 |

Cryptocurrencies based on owning a large number of hard discs, rather than using computer processors, could offer a less energy-intensive alternative to bitcoin and might even make it cheaper to build data centres – although one is already causing soaring demand for hard discs that is disrupting supply chains.
Bitcoin and several other popular cryptocurrencies are created, or mined, using a concept called proof of work, which involves solving computationally difficult puzzles that consume a large amount of electricity. Bitcoin’s annual electricity consumption is estimated to be 148 terawatt-hours and rising, or around the same amount as Poland’s. Now, rival currencies are emerging that instead make use of large numbers of empty hard discs, a concept known as proof of space.
Because hard drives are less energy-intensive to run than processors, proof-of-space currencies are touted as being more environmentally friendly. However, demand for one such currency, Chia, has become so high that some Asian countries, such as Vietnam, are reporting shortages of hard discs. The same phenomenon occurred with graphics cards, which proved to be extremely efficient at mining certain proof-of-work cryptocurrencies. Currently, around 3 million terabytes of hard disc space are being devoted entirely to mining Chia, enough to store 3 billion movies.
Jason Feist at hard drive manufacturer Seagate says the company is experiencing strong orders and that staff were working to “adjust to market demand”.
He also suggested that these new cryptocurrencies could provide a way for companies building large data centres to offset the cost by turning them over to mining. “Chia, and similar technologies such as Filecoin and Sia, show potential ways businesses can turn their idle infrastructure into ongoing revenue,” says Feist.
Michel Rauchs at the University of Cambridge says that while bitcoin’s proof-of-work approach is well understood, proof-of-space alternatives are still in their infancy.Other consensus algorithms that are less energy-intensive but also introduce some level of centralisation and subjectivity might be an acceptable trade-off. There are always trade-offs involved, most of which tend to only become known over time,” he says.
Aron Peterson, who works in digital production for the film industry in the UK, says that people in his field started to notice the price of computing hardware creeping above manufacturer-listed prices around six years ago. He puts it down to the demand for graphics cards by cryptocurrency miners.
“It was causing frustration among creatives and gamers who didn’t want to purchase upgrades at inflated prices just because other people were wasting huge amounts of electricity to compete for digital tokens,” he says.
After deciding to try mining himself, Peterson found that it was using significant energy. He also predicted that it would take five months before mining any coins. “Obviously I wasn’t going to run this experiment for five months, especially if the estimated time continued to climb as new miners appeared,” he says.
Peterson isn’t convinced by Chia’s green credentials, saying bitcoin miners are unlikely to switch because it would require them to buy new hardware. “Instead of displacement, it’s an additional crypto to be mined,” he says.
“Aside from the energy usage, this results in mountains of electronic waste as hard drives will fail faster and more often,” says Peterson. “The poorest people in the world already live with mountains of e-waste pollution we dump on them and this is just going to add to that.”

The Nile Basin is facing a multitude of shared challenges which, like the Nile itself, span across national borders. These include increasing water variability, growing water demand and multiple impacts of climate change. In order to adequately respond to these challenges, countries must act together.
Water plays an integral part in achieving not only water security but also food and energy security, and in eradicating poverty for the people of the Nile Basin. The shared nature of the Nile’s water resources must be a key driver towards regional integration in countries’ efforts to achieving these goals.
Joint action and investments through joint institutions and dialogue platforms in the Nile Basin contribute to a culture of dialogue, trust and confidence and helps build strong partnerships within and outside the basin, thus must play a key role in maintaining peace and security in the Nile Basin.
In order to achieve sustainable development, Nile Basin States are working towards a basin management plan by 2022, which will ensure that the Nile waters can sustain its people, ecosystems and biodiversity. Joint management can and must occur at all levels, from grassroots to governments.
Through capacity building, policies, knowledge generation and exchange as well as development of scientific tools, NBI is supporting Member States and people of the Nile Basin to better manage their shared water resources. Countries must use the tools and knowledge to inform their decisions in water resources management and development.
“The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is the only agreed upon mechanism of cooperation in the Nile
Basin. In 1999 we have agreed on a common vision and procedures for cooperation.
Sudan froze its activities in NBI in June 2010 during the Addis Ababa meeting but returned in
early 2012 based on the strong commitment of the country for cooperation and the benefits
accrued to Sudan by being part of the Nile Basin fraternity.”#MyNileStory
“I live in Addis Ababa but was born on the banks of the Blue Nile River. In 2015, I embarked on an adventure to this great river where my father once struggled with a crocodile while trading on the river. Starting from a place called Gumer, it took me 6hrs on foot to reach the banks of the Blue Nile River at Mabil, a site now identified for hydropower development. Women carried charcoal, men let their cattle graze, and I even swam in the river – local tour guides know the area well and crocodiles are not around where the water is very deep.”#MyNileStory
“My most unforgettable story with the NBI was being able to participate in the first time journalists from Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia visited the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam together in August 2016.”#MyNileStory
“The Nile Basin Initiative is a very important institution, promoting equitable utilisation of the shared River Nile. What I also like is the culture of rotating the key positions of chairperson of the Nile Council of Ministers and that of the Nile Technical Advisory Committee as well as Executive Director of the NBI Secretariat; this too promotes cooperation among Member States. Also the joint investment projects enable interaction among the citizens of the different countries and at all levels. However, the non-ratification of the Cooperation Framework Agreement is affecting the success attained over the last 20 years. Establishment of the River Nile Basin Commission presents a good opportunity to the Nile Basin countries”.#MyNileStory
“I really appreciate the NBI’s efforts put into improving lives in all the countries of the Nile Basin, but
also deplore the persistence of difficult conditions for the survival of people. Mountains are still
bare, erosion remains high in vast areas, many river banks are still unprotected, soil acidity is often
high, and the list goes on. To me, there is no way to alleviate poverty and make lives better without
addressing such issues. We must change the game and act accordingly.”#MyNileStory
“At the technical level much has been accomplished in the last two decades, thanks to Basin States
and to our cooperating partners. Political will is what is required to move cooperation to a higher
level. I believe the will is somewhere there and the way can be found. And as the Late Mwalimu
Julius Kambarage Nyerere succinctly put it: ‘It can be done. Play your part’.”#MyNileStory | <urn:uuid:49457f7c-0024-4e33-879d-ca3bcad444b5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://nbi20.nilebasin.org/?i=fast-food-mcdonald-s-mighty-wings-%E2%80%93-snippets-mm-KagoWcK | 2024-02-23T18:08:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.948286 | 905 | 2 |

In the realm of home aesthetics, popcorn ceiling drywall—also known as acoustic ceilings—often gets a bad rap. However, this textured ceiling type carries several benefits that may be overlooked in contemporary design discussions.
5 Advantages of Popcorn Ceiling Drywall
Here are five advantages of popcorn ceiling drywall that may warrant a second look before you decide to scrape it away.
Sound Dampening Qualities:
The unique texture of popcorn ceilings provides excellent sound dampening properties. The uneven surface disperses sound waves, reducing echo and noise levels within a room. This acoustic benefit is particularly useful in multi-story homes, basements, or in buildings where minimizing sound transmission is desired.
Popcorn texture is incredibly forgiving, making it an ideal choice for ceilings that have flaws. The application of this texture can mask irregularities such as bumps, dents, or uneven areas that would be conspicuous with flat drywall finishes. For older homes with less-than-perfect ceiling surfaces, popcorn ceilings offer an economical solution to achieving a uniform appearance without extensive repairs.
Popcorn ceilings require minimal upkeep. The texture is less prone to show dust and small cobwebs compared to flat surfaces, which can highlight even the smallest number of accumulated debris. This characteristic can be particularly advantageous in areas where frequent ceiling cleaning is impractical.
The texture of popcorn ceilings contributes an additional layer of insulation to a room. The aggregate material used in the texture traps air and can help maintain room temperature, contributing to energy efficiency. This can be a subtle but beneficial feature for managing heating and cooling costs.
Quick and Easy Installation:
Applying popcorn texture to a ceiling can be faster and more cost-effective than achieving a perfectly smooth finish. It is a process that can often be completed in a single day, depending on the size of the room. This advantage makes it an attractive option for builders and homeowners looking for a quick turnaround on construction or renovations.
Despite these benefits, it’s important to acknowledge that popcorn ceilings have fallen out of favor in modern design trends, which favor clean, smooth lines. However, they can still be a practical and economical choice in certain circumstances, such as in the renovation of older homes or in the construction of new homes where sound dampening, and cost-effective solutions are priorities.
In addition to the practical advantages, some homeowners may simply prefer the aesthetic of a popcorn ceiling. It can add character and texture to a room, creating a look that is distinctive and, in some cases, nostalgically appealing.
Conclusion: 5 Advantages of Popcorn Ceiling Drywall
While popcorn ceiling drywall may not be the preferred choice for everyone, it undeniably offers several advantages that are worth considering. Its sound-dampening properties, ability to conceal imperfections, low maintenance, insulation benefits, and ease of installation make it a viable option for many homeowners. Whether one chooses to keep, remove, or apply popcorn texture, understanding these benefits is key to making an informed decision that aligns with personal preferences and practical considerations. | <urn:uuid:9aa92db2-0041-4de7-b5f2-c8eab828a362> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://pamelanicolewrites.com/5-advantages-of-popcorn-ceiling-drywall/ | 2024-02-23T16:49:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.922059 | 619 | 1 |

Lake Powell History
John Wesley Powell was the first person to fully explore and write about the canyons of the Colorado River. On the first of two trips down the Colorado, Powell and his men saw and named many features, including Glen Canyon. Though several people, both before and after Powell, lived, worked, and travelled in Glen Canyon, it remained a place largely unknown to most of the United States. It was still terra incognita in the early 1950's when the Bureau of Reclamation proposed building a dam, one of many proposed for the Colorado River, at Glen Canyon's southern end.
The nation's environmental movement, though still in its infancy at this time, had just waged a successful campaign (led by the Sierra Club) to prevent the construction of a dam at Echo Park in Dinosaur National Monument. The wonders of Glen Canyon, however, were still undiscovered by those who might have preserved it.
Construction of the dam began in 1956. It was completed in 1962, but the lake did not completely fill until 1980. Lake Powell, which covered most of Glen Canyon, was named, ironically, after the man who had first written of the canyon's many charms.
Today, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NRA) and Lake Powell serve the needs of a diverse population. The lake provides opportunities for a variety of water-based recreational pursuits. The dam provides water storage for irrigation and produces electricity for millions. Most of the backcountry (the lake comprises only 13% of the total recreation area) is still as vast and remote as it was before the dam. In addition to their recreational and practical uses, the dam and the lake sparked a controversy which contributed to the birth to the modern-day environmental movement and began a debate which continues today. To what extent can humans alter their landscape before they lose their connection to the land? What is the price of progress and is it ever too high? What is the legacy we will leave to our children?
It's easy to relax and have fun at Glen Canyon. But it's also important to appreciate the remaining wonders of geology here, marvel at the stories of the different people who lived and travelled here, and be in awe of the enormous silence and solitude in the backcountry. And to remember a remarkable place that existed just a few years ago -- a place that no one knew.

Q . Why is homam done before laying foundation stone?
A. According to matsya puran-Long long ago Lord Shiva fought against the demon named ANDHAKA and killed him. While fighting with demon, Shiva was very much tired and began to sweat profusely. In the Treta Yuga a very cruel man was born of the drops of Shiva’s sweat. He was very hungry. So he began to make penance to appease Lord Shiva and get a boon from him. Shiva was pleased with his penance and appeared before him. The devotee prayed to Shiva,” Oh Lord! Please permit me to eat away all the three worlds.” Shiva said,” Let it be so.” The devotee’s joy knew no bounds.
He got possession on all the three worlds and first he was ready to eat the terrestrial world (Bhooloka). Devatas were afraid of this great bodied man and approached the creator’ Brahma, Brahma advised the devatas to keep that man in a reversal order That man, being arrested like this approached Brahma and sought his help. Listening to those words, the celestial being said that you lie down here on the ground changing your position once in three months, i.e. from ‘Bhadraspada’ to ‘kartik’ you lie down putting your head in the eastern direction and your feet towards the west.
Whatever side you may turn, you will have to lie down on the left side only. You will be known as ‘VASTU PURUSHA’. You will tease the people, to your heart’s content, who construct buildings and temples, dig wells and tanks on the side towards which you see and in the direction towards which you hold your feet. You may trouble and even devour those people who construct the aforesaid buildings and temples etc. in the direction where you lay your head and back and those who lay foundation-stone without worshiping you or without satisfying you with “Homa” and the like. Then the Vastu-Purusha was quite satisfied. Since then the worship of Vastu-Purusha has been in vogue and ithas become compulsory for those who want to construct any kind of building.
Forty-five celestial beings, out of whom 32 from without and 13 from within caught hold of him.
These celestial beings laid force on the different limbs and sat on down there only. Since then, he has been lying there surrounded by the celestial beings are thus he was called “the God of Vastu or “ VASTU PURUSHA”. Viswakarma made this Sastra shine in this world . Many Vastu rules are derived from “Vastu Purusha”
Q . Where is Vaastu purush present ?
A. Vastu Purush is present in each and every plot whether it is big or small. He has a fixed and peculiar body. His head remains hanging down and his body is spread all over the length and breadth of the ground. One should not start digging in the direction where Vastu Purush’s head lies in that particular month.

Bunmeido has been making castella cakes since 1900. A popular Japanese sponge cake made using just sugar, flour, eggs and starch syrup without any butter or other oil-based ingredients, this simple desert is timeless and well-loved by everyone. There’s even a Bunmeido café in Ginza, Tokyo where people make a beeline to savour these sponge cakes.
I can understand the cake's popularity after taking a bite into its soft, moist texture. The sweet taste of honey was very pleasing too.

Looking deceivingly like mochi, these pretty sugar-powdered spheres are actually cookies filled with crunchy walnuts! Its nutty aroma and subtle strawberry flavor was wonderfully addictive and perfect with a cup of tea!
Oimoya Sweet Potato Snacks
These dried sweet potato snacks are produced in the Ibaraki prefecture. Highly popular in Japan, people have to queue up to 3 hours at the department stores for them. It's a seasonal product so my advice would be to get it before it goes out of stock!

The Yohkan is a Japanese traditional sweet of thick, jellied dessert made of red bean paste, agar, and sugar. Available in Original, Yuzu, Maccha Green Tea, Bitter Orange flavors, these treats are not just great on its own, but will also be great as toppings for pancakes or other desserts too. Best savored with tea.
The area Hamamatsu-shi, located in Western Shizuoka is ideal for the cultivation of mandarin oranges thanks to its mild climate and well-drained soil. More affectionately known as “Mikkabi Mikan”, this household name of orange juice is especially popular in Japan with its delicately sweet and sour taste that lingers on. With Chinese New Year around the corner, it’s the best time to have some of these bottles with you to impress your guests!

Shizuoka is famous for green tea. Wakomi curate the very best tea products from Shizuoka, so if you're looking for quality, organic green tea, this would be the one to try.
I especially like the "Asa 朝" tea. With its rich taste, it is ideal for milk tea, the kind that help me wake up in the morning. Another one to try would be the "Yo 陽", which is a black tea with a subtle, refreshing sweetness.
For you who prefer more layers in flavors, do go for the tea blends. "Rei 麗" is an invigorating blend of green tea with mint and lemon, while "Sai 彩" offers a taste of black tea with lemon, tangerine, lemon grass and hibiscus.

Junk Appliances can be a treasure trove of recyclable materials.
Recoverable materials include: steel, aluminum, copper, plastics, rubber, glass, and freon.
Lets start with your common washer and dryer set.
The wiring contains recyclable copper see copper recycling
The main case is made of steel see steel recycling
Also they are rich in recyclable plastics see plastic recycling
Next lets talk about refrigerators. There are literally millions of junk refrigerators in this country. The internal coils on these are rich with copper and aluminum not to mention the steel, plastic, and sometimes stainless steel, that make up the shell.
The downside or sometimes upside to recycling refrigerators is disposing of the freon. Freon is the refrigerant gas that runs through the coils and compressor in a fridge.
Most municipalities require by law that refrigerant gases be disposed of by a licensed professional and under no circumstances deliberately released into the air.
The upside to this is that there is actually a market for recycled refrigerant.
With the proper training and equipment refrigerator recycling can prove very profitable.
Some poeple and municipal dumps will actually pay you to pickup and properly dispose of junk refrigerators and appliances.
However this is one prospect best left to somone with a strong back and due to biological debree that may be present (the science experiment in the fridge) it's not for the squemish. | <urn:uuid:59b868b7-1c8e-44cb-84b9-06c2f00b1393> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.profitablerecycling.com/JUNKAPPLIANCERECYCLING.htm | 2024-02-23T17:05:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.936174 | 297 | 1 |

Nuphar pumila, also known as the least water-lily or small yellow pond-lily, is an aquatic perennial plant in the Nymphaeaceae family. It is sometimes referred to as a dwarf water lily since it looks like a smaller Nuphar lutea. It is in flower from July to August and is pollinated by flies.
Least water-lily is typically found in sunny environments, predominantly in lakes, ponds and slow-flowing parts of rivers from Northern and Central Europe to Northern Asia. It is an aquatic plant associated with freshwater habitat and is pollinated mainly by flies.
Nuphar pumila (least water-lily) is found in western Mongolia, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Sweden, UK and France, as well as the United States (at least Michigan's upper peninsula). It is more successful in sunny environments and predominantly found in lakes, ponds and slow-flowing parts of rivers from Northern and Central Europe to Northern Asia. Its leaves are elliptic with fine hairs underneath and it is pollinated mainly by flies. Its geographic distribution includes these areas.
Nuphar pumila (least water-lily) is considered endangered in France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It is also part of a global wild plant species conservation project and a conservation plan has been developed for it. In Canada, it is known as dwarf water lily.
Least Water-lily (Nuphar pumila), also known as Yellow Pond-lily, is a beautiful aquatic plant species that belongs to the Nymphaeaceae family. It is native to North America and is found in still waters such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. This plant species is known for its bright yellow flowers and small size, which make it a popular addition to water gardens and aquatic landscapes.
The least water-lily has heart-shaped leaves that are typically green and floating on the surface of the water. The leaves are 1 to 4 inches in size and are supported by long petioles that allow them to float freely on the water's surface. The plant produces beautiful yellow flowers that bloom in the summer and early fall. Each flower is about 1 to 2 inches in diameter and has a distinctive bowl-like shape. The petals are arranged in a circle, and the center of the flower is filled with many small, yellow stamens.
In the wild, least water-lilies grow in shallow waters, typically 2 to 6 inches deep. They prefer still waters, but can tolerate slight currents. They are also well-adapted to varying water levels and can survive even in the driest of conditions. The plant is hardy and can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures, making it an ideal choice for water gardens in temperate climates.
One of the advantages of the least water-lily is that it is easy to care for. The plant is not demanding and can grow in a variety of soils, as long as they are well-drained. It also does not require frequent pruning, but can benefit from regular removal of dead leaves and flowers to keep the water clean and free of debris.
The least water-lily is a beautiful and low-maintenance plant that can add a touch of color and beauty to any water garden or aquatic landscape. Its bright yellow flowers and heart-shaped leaves are a delight to see and are sure to attract attention. Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, the least water-lily is an excellent choice for your next aquatic gardening project.
In addition to its ornamental value, the least water-lily has ecological significance as well. The plant provides habitat and food for a variety of aquatic species, including insects, amphibians, and fish. The leaves and stems of the plant are used by many species of waterfowl as a source of food, while the flowers provide nectar for pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
The plant also helps improve water quality by filtering out excess nutrients and pollutants. The leaves and roots of the least water-lily act as a natural filter, removing excess nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, which helps prevent the growth of harmful algae. This, in turn, helps to maintain a healthy ecosystem in aquatic environments.
However, it is important to note that the least water-lily can become invasive in some areas. The plant can reproduce rapidly and spread quickly, and if left unchecked, it can outcompete native species and alter the balance of aquatic ecosystems. To avoid this, it is recommended to plant the least water-lily in containers or to place physical barriers around the plant to limit its spread.
Aside from its ornamental and ecological benefits, the least water-lily has been used for various traditional and medicinal purposes. The plant has a long history of use by indigenous peoples of North America, who used it to treat a variety of ailments, such as skin rashes, stomach troubles, and respiratory problems.
In traditional herbal medicine, the roots of the least water-lily were dried and powdered to make a tea that was believed to have a sedative effect. The plant was also used to make poultices to treat wounds and injuries, and to relieve pain and swelling.
While some of these traditional uses have not been scientifically validated, recent studies have shown that the plant does have some medicinal properties. The roots of the plant contain compounds that have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, and may also have anti-cancer properties.
In conclusion, the least water-lily is not only a beautiful and ecologically beneficial plant, but it also has a rich history of traditional and medicinal use. While more research is needed to fully understand the medicinal properties of the plant, its long history of use by indigenous peoples and its recent scientific validation suggest that it has the potential to be a valuable resource for health and wellness.
Overall, the least water-lily is a versatile and valuable plant species that has much to offer. Whether you are looking for a beautiful ornamental plant for your water garden, a way to improve water quality, or a potential natural remedy, the least water-lily is definitely worth considering. | <urn:uuid:eacc3202-4960-44e5-9781-bf54f6b89a4a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.wildflowerweb.co.uk/plant/2359/least-water-lily | 2024-02-23T16:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.97029 | 1,296 | 1 |

By: Susan Browning
I was always reaching out, always finding something new to take on, always engaged with ministry, always in peoples lives, always over-booking my schedule, then feeling like my brain would burst and my heart felt heavy.
It got me thinking something was wrong with me when this pace the world had set for me was faster than my heart could carry me. And if I wasn’t careful I’d hit burnout. That was ten years ago.
Much like almost every human I’ve ever met, I’m guessing I didn’t like being on my own – maybe I didn’t like my own company, or this moment would never somehow end and I would die alone… I didn’t know what to do when I wasn’t busy doing or perhaps it was simply the world around me kept a pace I felt obligated to maintain. So I learnt to get faster, neglecting the slow I recall in my youth, the space I automatically created after full days of socialising and brainwork combined that adulting didn’t deem as busy as this new world of career. I remember coming home from a particularly busy week and looking at the beautiful sky and loosing time in watching the clouds go by, then instantly feel guilty for ‘wasting my life’ on such frivolous moments. But I felt restored a tiny bit, so I tried it again. Then again. I listened to this restoring.
Then, every Friday I would find another outdoor space and sit and stare at the sky, the harbour, the bush. Over those months this grew my craving soul, I yearned to see how long I could do it for before my brain would break. The thing with spiritual disciplines, is they are in fact just that. They are a discipline. Silence and stillness along with solitude are things we need to practice. Not just in self isolation, but in our day to day living. When you lean in to the initial discomfort you begin to find: the silence less deafening, the stillness less jolting and the solitude less lonely.
The issue with solitude is often it’s confronting because it taps into a deep loneliness our soul feels because we grieve time with ourselves and with God. In our current life climate many of us are being thrown into a form of solitude through enforced self isolation, which perhaps has highlighted solitude deprivation in our society. Also on a side note, how creativity has been abandoned to technology in our day to day, and how we in fact were craving something to fill a void we didn’t know it existed. Or maybe did and kept up our busy doing things from having to face it. But thrown full thrust into it – solitude is daunting. Self isolation is tricky for the more extroverted at heart, but also introverts alike will struggle with the amount of alone time eventually in this season.
Understanding what solitude is might be helpful. Solitude is not just aloneness. It’s embracing space in your life, it’s not embracing loneliness. Henry Nouwan has a great book on this… “solitude and loneliness quote”. There’s a few good books I’d recommend: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, Spiritual Disciplines by Dallas Willard.
So to ease you into feeling the benefits of solitude and finding peace in this space I’d encourage you to seek out ways you can continue this practice later down the track when life returns to the new normal. Here are some things I have found helpful to get time to myself…
1 – Journaling
There is no right or wrong way to do journaling. But find what way you like the best through trial and error.
- Free-flow: start writing and let it flow into your unconscious mind. This isn’t about writing it to become something any one else would see. This is purely the thoughts in your mind being placed outward so they have little room to circle.
- Bullet journaling: Pinterest has a bunch of options here – this can be inclusive of tacking moods, thoughts, goals. It’s creatively structured to work your life into your flow.
- Write a letter to yourself or to someone you need to work through an issue with or write to God. Openly work through things you might not say aloud, again its not to be perfected, no one else is going to read this unless you want them to. So write out what you need to.
- Find a scripture and write it out, unpack it and then ask through writing to reveal to you what is standing out the most and why.
- Reflection spaces: I use this practice a lot. Some prompters might be: Current thoughts in my head; Things I’ve learnt this year and why they schooled me; what’s working and what is not; List the things I am committed to and re-evaluate or perhaps this is just a good space to map out future goals and inviting yourself into the process of how to get there.
2 – Porch Time
Silence took me by surprise – I wasn’t expecting this to be the hardest one to lean into. Journaling comes quite easy to me, I’ve been experimenting with styles and writing since I was a teenager. But silence meant not having input, but allowing me to take what was internal and give it air to breathe. At first this was confronting, now it is my go-to. In the quietness my soul comes to truly rest.
- Porch time is simply finding a place in nature – for me it is my porch, I look at my garden and I let my head unwind. If this is new you might like to start with 5-10 minutes, until its just uncomfortable enough that you can push through the wall and find Selah. In this silence there is NO noise – so you don’t take your phone, you find a space away from people or you practice it mutually without conversation.
- Here in your quiet place, you begin to breathe and focus on your breath and your surroundings. You can ask God to get into your space with you and bring to the surface anything that needs to be let go of. I often find once I am here I am definitely in my head and it can feel a bit full at first, possibly even loud. Sit in the discomfort of this moment, when a thought arises, give it the space it needs – form the thought and let go of it, instead of pushing it away.
3 – Embracing Slow
- Take longer to eat, or drink your hot beverage of choice – in simply bringing acknowledgement to how we rush our body to finish functioning so we can catch up to life we see how much we could enjoy the brew we’ve made or the meal we’ve taken time to cook. Chew slowly, pause between mouth fills, engage a thankfulness for a slower moment.
- Make space in your day – I feel like we are always hurrying, and I was noticing my kids couldn’t keep up. So I started operating at their pace – I find this infuriating some days, but also very liberating as I realised I was missing little things and opportunities to grow and attend to them (and myself).
“I feel like we are always hurrying, and I was noticing my kids couldn’t keep up. So I started operating at their pace.”
4 – Gratitude Practice
- We simply can not grumble and be grateful at the same time. It doesn’t take much to find 3, or 5, or even 10 things as you get better at the practice, to be grateful for. There is always something. I think the Big Pillars of our life we already know we are thankful to have. So this practice really is finding it in the small places, the mini moments, the twinkling of an eye, the light crisp air, the exchange of looks, the unprompted cuddle. I try to make a list in my journal practice in the morning – 3 things I’ve been grateful for in the past 24 hours. It has to be current. And daily.
- We also close our day with “grace and grateful” around the table. I get our kids to start with just one thing, they’re finding more these days. It paves a way for harder times, times like these, when we practice gratitude you will begin to find it anywhere and everywhere, and in the moment you can say thank you, I’m glad I was present enough to observe this, in your heart. Gratitude places us in the present moment – we remain in a posture of praise which helps us come out of the darker spaces of our mind. It helps us centre our thoughts to find hope. To be the light.
With all of these ideas in mind you might find some of them helpful to your personality style and you may already be a pro at it. But if not, just start with 5-10 minutes, small steps to make it feel comfortable. Give yourself grace as well, this isn’t a normal season, and it will pass like any other. We will gain something from this spaciousness we have been forced into.
Solitude has been a practice I’ve embraced for many years now, and naturally more so when I was younger. I think it is easy to get caught up in the pace of the world. We get to choose. And that’s the beauty – choose space, choose openness.

Full moon calendar 2023: When to see the next full moon
The next full moon will be on Monday, Nov. 27 at 4:16 a.m. EST (0916 GMT), but the moon will still appear full the night before and after its peak to the casual stargazer.
November’s full moon, is also known as the Beaver Moon, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

The full moon shows its face to Earth about once a month. Well, sort of.
Most of the time, the full moon isn’t perfectly full. We always see the same side of the moon, but part of it is in shadow, due to the moon’s rotation. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100% full, and that alignment produces a lunar eclipse.
And sometimes — once in a blue moon — the moon is full twice in a month (or four times in a season, depending on which definition you prefer).

Many cultures have given distinct names to each month’s full moon. The names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. The Farmer’s Almanac lists several names that are commonly used in the United States. There are some variations in the moon names, but in general, the same ones were used among the Algonquin tribes from New England on west to Lake Superior. European settlers followed their own customs and created some of their own names.
Other Native American people had different names. In the book “This Day in North American Indian History” (Da Capo Press, 2002), author Phil Konstantin lists more than 50 native peoples and their names for full moons. He also lists them on his website, AmericanIndian.net.
Amateur astronomer Keith Cooley has a brief list of the moon names of other cultures, including Chinese and Celtic, on his website.

Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December. At least, that’s how it works in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are switched, the Harvest Moon occurs in March and the Cold Moon is in June. According to Earthsky.org, these are common names for full moons south of the equator.

The phases of the moon explained with dates

The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every 27.3 days. It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis. So, the moon always shows us the same face; there is no single “dark side” of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun — what we see when we look at the moon is reflected sunlight. On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means sometimes it rises during daylight and other times at night.
There are four phases of the moon, new moon, first quarter moon, full moon and third quarter moon.
At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth.
A few days later, as the moon moves around Earth, the side we can see gradually becomes more illuminated by direct sunlight. This thin sliver is called the waxing crescent.
A week after the new moon, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half-illuminated from our point of view — what we call first quarter because it is about a quarter of the way around Earth.
A few days later, the area of illumination continues to increase. More than half of the moon’s face appears to be getting sunlight. This phase is called a waxing gibbous moon.
When the moon has moved 180 degrees from its new moon position, the sun, Earth and the moon form a line. The moon’s disk is as close as it can be to being fully illuminated by the sun, so this is called full moon.
Next, the moon moves until more than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, but the amount is decreasing. This is the waning gibbous phase.
Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. The sun’s light is now shining on the other half of the visible face of the moon.
Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing.
Finally, the moon moves back to its new moon starting position. Because the moon’s orbit is not exactly in the same plane as Earth’s orbit around the sun, they rarely are perfectly aligned. Usually the moon passes above or below the sun from our vantage point, but occasionally it passes right in front of the sun, and we get an eclipse of the sun.
Each full moon is calculated to occur at an exact moment, which may or may not be near the time the moon rises where you are. So when a full moon rises, it’s typically doing so some hours before or after the actual time when it’s technically full, but a casual skywatcher won’t notice the difference. In fact, the moon will often look roughly the same on two consecutive nights surrounding the full moon.
Lunar eclipses of 2023
Lunar eclipses are inextricably tied to the full moon. To find out where and when you can see the next lunar eclipse check out our lunar eclipse guide.
When the moon is in its full phase, it is passing behind the Earth with respect the sun and can pass through Earth’s shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. When the moon is fully inside the Earth’s shadow, we see a total lunar eclipse. At other times, the moon only partially passes through the Earth’s shadow in what is known as a partial, or even penumbral lunar eclipse (when the moon only skirts through the outermost region of Earth’s shadow).
In 2023, there are two lunar eclipses: A penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 and a partial lunar eclipse on Oct. 28.
The penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 was a very slight lunar eclipse in which the moon passed through the outermost edge of the Earth’s shadow. It was visible from South/East Europe, Much of Asia, Australia, Africa, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The eclipse began at 10:11 a.m. EST (1511 GMT), the maximum eclipse was reached at 12:22 p.m. EST (1722 GMT) and the penumbral eclipse ended at 2:31 p.m. EST (1931 GMT), according to TimeandDate.com. The overall duration of the eclipse was 4 hours and 18 minutes.
The partial lunar eclipse on Oct. 18 will be visible over Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, North/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica. It will begin at 2:35 p.m. (1935 GMT), the maximum eclipse occurs at 15:14 p.m. EST (2014 GMT) and the partial eclipse will end at 3:52 p.m. EST (2052 GMT). It will last 4 hours and 25 minutes.
Because the moon’s orbit around the Earth is tilted, it does not line up with Earth’s shadow every month and we do not have a lunar eclipse each month.
Solar eclipses of 2023
When the moon is in its “new” phase, it passes between the Earth and the sun, so the side facing the Earth appears dark. To find out when and where you can see the next solar eclipse, check out our solar eclipse guide.
Occasionally, the moon’s orbit lines up with the sun in such a way that part or all of the sun can be blocked by the moon, as viewed from Earth. When the moon completely blocks the sun’s disk, we see a total solar eclipse during the day, which can be a truly awe-inspiring site. Other times, the moon can only partially block the sun in a partial solar eclipse.
The moon can even create a “ring of fire” solar eclipse when it passes directly in front of the sun, but is at a point in its orbit that is too far from Earth to fully cover the sun’s disk. This leaves a ring, or “annulus,” around the moon to create what is called an annular solar eclipse.
There are two solar eclipses in 2023: a hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 and an annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14.
The rare hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 wasboth an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse and a transition into a total solar eclipse briefly over some parts of Earth. The annular effect was visible for just a few seconds in the Indian and Pacific oceans and isn’t visible anywhere on land. A total eclipse was only be visible in three locations on land, Exmouth, Western Australia, Timor Leste and West Papua.
The annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14 will be visible across parts of North America, Central America and South America. It will begin in the western United States and travel from the coast of Oregon to the Texas Gulf coast, passing over Nevada, Utah, New Mexico as well as some parts of California, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona. It then passes over Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Panama. It will conclude in South America as it passes over Columbia and Brazil.

Learn about the benefits of hair oiling, an ancient beauty secret that has been transforming hair care routines for centuries.
From fighting frizz to stimulating hair growth.
Hair oiling is a simple, yet powerful way to unlock the full potential of your hair.
Read along so you can learn about the benefits and how you can start your very own hair oiling routine today.
What is Hair Oiling?
Hair oiling is a practice with deep roots in history, originating from ancient India over 5,000 years ago. It has been a ritualistic art in hair care, not only for its hair benefits but also as a form of self-care and relaxation. This traditional method passed down through generations, has become a global phenomenon.
But what exactly is hair oiling? It involves applying and massaging natural oils into the scalp and hair. The oil acts as a natural moisturizer that strengthens, protects, and adds shine. It's the ancient secret that has been maintaining healthier hair for centuries.
Read on to see how this age-old tradition can bring out the best in your hair's health and appearance.
Benefits of Hair Oiling
Hair oiling is much more than a simple beauty routine. It's your secret to protecting your hair and helping it stay healthy and beautiful. Here are some key benefits of hair oiling:
1. Keeping hair hydrated
Oiling your hair keeps it deeply moisturized. When you massage oil into your hair, it penetrates the hair shaft, keeping in moisture. This leaves your hair feeling soft and looking healthy, especially if you struggle with dryness.
2. Strengthening hair
Regular hair oiling can significantly strengthen your strands. It nourishes the hair from the inside, reducing hair breakage and making it strong and resilient. Over time, you'll notice your hair feels thicker and stronger.
3. Promoting hair growth
Massaging oil into your scalp can boost blood circulation, which is important for hair growth. This increased blood flow nourishes your hair follicles and helps it deliver nutrients to it better.
4. Improving scalp health
Oiling isn't just for your hair; it's great for your scalp too. It helps combat dryness, reduces dandruff, and soothes scalp irritation. A healthy scalp means healthier hair growth.
5. Adding natural shine
One of the quickest benefits you’ll notice is the natural shine. Oiling hair will keep your hair hydrated, nourished and strong. This will reflect on your hair leaving you with silky, smooth hair.
6. Preventing premature graying
Some oils are known for their properties that help keep your hair's natural color. Oiling hair can slow down the graying process by helping your hair stay hydrated and absorb key vitamins.
7. Taming frizz & split ends
If frizzy hair and split ends are your nightmares, oiling is your hero. It smoothes hair cuticles, taming frizz and helping to prevent split ends, making your hair more manageable. This also helps keep the hair protected from damage and breakage.
8. Protecting hair from damage
Hair oil forms a protective layer around each strand. This helps protect your hair from environmental stressors, heat styling, and harsh chemicals. Think of it as your hair's added shield.
9. Nourishing hair
Oils are packed with nutrients essential for healthy hair. They provide deep nourishment, ensuring your hair is well-fed and in top condition. As you go on with your day-to-day, your hair naturally loses nutrients. Oiling your hair can help restore these nutrients lost.
10. Reducing stress
The act of massaging oil into your scalp can be super relaxing. This not only benefits your hair but also helps in reducing stress, which is a known factor in hair health. This leads to faster and healthier hair growth. Want to learn more about the benefits of Scalp Massages? Read our blog here.
By embracing hair oiling, you're not just caring for your hair in the present. You're investing in its long-term health, beauty, and vitality.
How to Create Your Very Own Hair Oiling Routine
Adopting a hair oiling routine can be a game-changer for your hair's health and appearance. To get the most out of this practice, it's important to know the right techniques and best practices. Here's how to get started.
Steps for Your Hair Oiling Routine
- Preparation: Choose an oil that suits your hair type. Common options include coconut, castor, and argan oil. You can also use a blend of oils for added benefits, like our Everything Serum with jojoba, argan, castor and avocado oil.
- Application: Start by adding a few drops of your hair oil into your palms and start rubbing to warm up the oil. Apply oil directly to the scalp using your fingertips. Then, gently massage the oil into the scalp in circular motions. This not only helps in even distribution but also stimulates blood flow.
- Spreading: After the scalp massage, work the oil down the length of your hair, from roots to tips. This ensures that every strand gets the nourishing benefits of the oil.
- Comb through: Use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the oil and detangle your hair. This step is especially important if you have long or thick hair.
- Leave in and enjoy: Leave the hair oil in your hair so that the hair absorbs the oil.
Hair Oiling Best Practices
How often to oil your hair
How often you should oil your hair depends on your hair type. Typically, oiling your hair once or twice a week is enough. If you have very dry hair, you might benefit from more frequent oiling. If you have very oily hair, you may want to oil even less frequently.
How long to leave in hair oil
Leave the oil in your hair for at least one hour. For deep conditioning or nutrition, you can leave it overnight. Just make sure to cover your hair with a cap or towel to avoid making a mess on your pillows. The duration you leave your hair oil in your hair depends if you are using an overnight one, pre-wash, or leave-in.
Best time for hair oiling
- Oiling before washing: This helps protect your hair from the harsh effects of shampoo.
- Oiling hair overnight: Some prefer to oil their hair at night and wash it off in the morning. The benefits of oiling hair overnight focus on deep hydration and nutrition of the hair.
- Oiling as a leave-in: Leaving hair oil in can help keep hair hydrated, nourished and protected from damage.
First, make sure what your hair goal is and adjust your routine accordingly.
Slightly warming the oil before application can boost its nourishing effects. Warm oil opens up the hair's cuticle layers, helping it penetrate the hair and scalp more effectively. This allows it to absorb more nutrients and offer greater benefits.
After oiling your hair, wash your hair with a gentle shampoo to remove excess oil. Avoid using hot water as it can strip natural oils from your hair and scalp. Ensure that oil is thoroughly rinsed out. Some non-water soluble oils can cause buildup on the hair if not removed.
Creating a personalized hair oiling routine can take some patience and practice. Pay attention to how your hair responds and adjust the routine accordingly. With consistent care, you'll soon see improvements in the health and beauty of your hair.
Common Mistakes in Hair Oiling
While there are many hair oiling benefits, there are also some common mistakes to avoid:
Using too much oil
More oil does not mean more benefits. Overdoing it can make washing it out difficult and leave your hair greasy and with buildup. A few tablespoons or drops should be enough, depending on hair length and thickness.
Not massaging the scalp
Simply oiling hair isn't enough. By not massaging oil into your scalp, you are missing out on the benefits of improved blood circulation. This is important for healthy hair growth. Think of it like putting soap on your hands without rubbing it through.
Using the wrong oil
Not all oils are suitable for every hair type or condition. For instance, coconut oil works great for some but can be too heavy for others. Other oils may be too thick for someone who has greasier hair. It’s important to choose an oil that complements your hair type.
Sporadic hair oiling won’t yield the desired results. Consistency is key. Create a routine that works for your hair and stick to it.
Not washing out oil properly
Leaving oil in your hair for too long or not washing it out properly is a no-go. It can lead to buildup, weighing down your hair, and possibly causing scalp issues.
Ignoring your hair type
Everyone’s hair is different. What works for one person might not work for another. Adjust your hair oiling routine to your hair’s specific needs. Consider factors like hair texture and scalp type. Don't know your hair or scalp type? Luckily, we wrote the blogs below.
Avoiding these common mistakes will keep your oiling routine effective. That way you are closer to getting nourished, strong, and healthy hair.
Great Hair Oils to Add to Your Routine
Choosing the right oil is key to a successful hair oiling routine. Different oils have different benefits. So it's important to select one based on your hair goals. Here are our top picks:
- Coconut oil: A classic choice, coconut oil is great for all hair types. It deeply conditions hair making it effective for dry, damaged hair.
- Argan oil: Known as 'liquid gold' for its rich yellow color. Argan oil is packed with antioxidants and vitamin E. It's great for taming frizz and adding shine. And is light enough for finer hair types.
- Olive oil: Olive oil is not just for cooking; it's also a great hair oil. It's rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. These help nourish the scalp, promote hair growth, and fight dandruff. It can also help strengthen and repair hair follicles.
- Castor oil: If hair growth is your goal, castor oil might be your best bet. It's known for its ability to stimulate hair growth and thicken hair. According to verywellhealth.com, "Applying castor oil just once a month can boost hair growth up to five times the usual rate". You can read more about Castor oil in our blog here.
- Almond oil: Perfect for sensitive scalps, almond oil is gentle yet nourishing. It's rich in vitamin E and helps in smoothing hair and adding shine. It can also make hair more manageable by restoring moisture.
- Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is one of the most popular natural oils for hair care. Jojoba oil's composition is similar to the natural oils produced by our scalp. This makes it a great choice for balancing natural oil production, hydrating hair, and adding shine. It can even help stimulate hair growth and prevent dandruff.
You can try using the above oils individually or as part of blends. Whichever oil you choose, make sure it's high quality and preferably organic for the best results.
Hair oiling is an ancient beauty ritual that continues to offer benefits for your hair and scalp. From hydrating and strengthening to promoting growth and adding shine. Adding this practice into your routine can help you get beautiful, healthier hair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Oiling
Does hair oiling help growth?
Yes, hair oiling can promote hair growth. Massaging oil into your scalp stimulates blood circulation. This helps the spread of nutrients to the hair follicles and leads to healthier hair growth.
Is oiling hair overnight good or bad?
Oiling hair overnight can be beneficial as it allows more time for the oil to penetrate the hair and scalp. However, ensure it's not too heavy or left on too frequently to avoid buildup.
Is oiling hair every day good?
Oiling hair every day is a bit excessive and can lead to oil buildup. It’s better to oil your hair 1-2 times a week, depending on your hair type and needs.
How much hair oil to use?
The amount of hair oil to use depends on your hair length and type. Generally, a few tablespoons or drops are enough to cover the scalp and hair without making it too greasy.
When to apply hair oil?
This depends on your hair goal. You can use it before washing, overnight, or as a leave-in. Usually the most common way is to use it as a prewash. | <urn:uuid:bd334367-d6a8-4b3c-a10c-825baf9de22e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://aguadecielobeauty.eu/blogs/news/benefits-of-hair-oiling | 2024-02-23T18:05:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.94976 | 2,720 | 1 |

Why Heating and Cooling Maintenance is so Important in Christmas Hills
When you had your air conditioner installed, you were probably told that you should have it serviced annually. Why though?
Firstly, have you considered how dirty your air con’s filters can get? These filters are meant to remove air contaminants and improve your home’s air quality. When they’re dirty because they haven’t been maintained, all that muck will just be blown into your home! This is bad news for everyone, especially for allergy sufferers and those with asthma.
All this build up in your air con is bad news for your wallet too. An unmaintained air conditioner will need to work harder to do the same job a clean one would. This means air conditioner parts will be working harder and wearing out faster. The running cost will also increase due to the build up.
What about your gas heater? When was that last serviced? A faulty gas heater runs the risk of gas and carbon monoxide leaks. These are a major risk to both your home and family. Annual maintenance by a trusted air con technician will ensure these faults are picked up before they cause concern.
Our expert technicians in Christmas Hills are more than qualified to conduct routine air conditioner maintenance.

Auto Salvage yards have been around as long as cars in type of or the other. They have been capital for motorists for some a years through good quality parts for your vehicles.

Brand new car hoods cost for the better these afternoons. One wonders how can a sheet of metal molded to fit a car cost so much, but that sadly is easy.

Nutreco is a globally recognised name in animal feed with reach in over 90 countries through its brands Trouw Nutrition and Skretting, yet its strategic investment arm Nutreco NuFrontiers remains relatively unknown. We spoke to Nutreco’s Chief Innovation Officer, Viggo Halseth, to understand more about its ambitious investment plans
How is Nutreco leveraging new technologies and ingredients across its animal and aquaculture divisions?
The objective of Nutreco NuFrontiers is to add open innovation to our industry leading in-house R&D. In a connected world, open innovation offers opportunities to reduce research costs, spread risks and bring innovations to market faster. To do so, we make two types of investments. First, we invest in start-ups and scale-ups in new technologies, ingredients, or formulations that can benefit Nutreco’s two divisions, Trouw Nutrition (animal nutrition) and Skretting (aquaculture feed). Second, we create ‘moonshot projects’ via partnerships and joint-ventures with innovative companies to address bottlenecks in the broader animal protein production value chain. More than just an investment fund, we’re looking to be an active developer of tomorrow’s new feed and food businesses, supporting and providing them with industry leading expertise and resource.
What kind of technologies are you particularly looking to invest in, from what kind of companies?
Within animal farming, we focus on four key themes: animal nutrition, animal health, digital farming solutions, and sustainable farming systems. These topics are relevant to us in both livestock farming and aquaculture. Recently, we have expanded our scope to also include alternative proteins for food, as we see this is as the key disruption and opportunity for our industry. Depending on which model would bring most value out of the collaboration, we are open to investing, partnering and creating joint-ventures with start-ups, scale-ups as well as more established companies.
Why is innovation needed now in this sector? Why are projects like the Nutreco Feed Tech Challenge important to your innovation goals?
Nutreco’s mission is ‘Feeding the Future’, reflecting our ambition to contribute to producing sufficient nutritious, high quality food for a growing population in a sustainable way. But to succeed, we need to explore, find and develop next-generation innovations both within our existing businesses and beyond. With initiatives like our Feed Tech Challenge, the start-up competition that we organized, we aim to play our part in linking the world of large corporations with the world of young, creative thinkers. Start‐up entrepreneurs have a vision and a determination ‐ a different way of looking at problems and solutions that we can’t replicate. In past editions of the FeedTech Challenge we engaged with dozens of start-ups, granted winners with on‐farm validation trials in our research centers and established multiple ongoing partnerships and research collaborations with participants.
What successes have you had so far through your investments and getting these exciting technologies to market?
In 2018, the first year of NuFrontiers, we evaluated over 100 potential targets working on new solutions within our focus areas. Out of the companies evaluated, we have completed three start-up investments and formed project-based partnerships with three others. We have invested across both livestock and aquaculture farming, in topics ranging from digital to health to farming. We have made investments in Eruvaka (an IoT start-up working on shrimp feeding equipment), ViAqua (developing feed ingredients for shrimp health) and fodjan (a digital start-up developing on-farm feed formulation software for dairy). To take the example of Eruvaka, Skretting (Nutreco’s aquaculture feed division) works directly with Eruvaka to implement the latest in precision farming technology at shrimp farms, firstly in Latin America. Our partnerships include projects in alternative raw materials and sustainable farming systems. We are working with Kiverdi to develop production of feed protein from CO2 and with SeaFarming Systems on closed containment systems that would address salmon farming’s main sustainability challenges. Of course, we are looking to continue to expand this portfolio and work with more exciting companies and technologies.
Why is World Agri-Tech important for Nutreco, what technologies and opportunities will you be looking out for?
We want to work with individuals and companies with cutting‐edge ambition, who ‘think outside the box’ and believe in finding new ways to solve the planet’s food problems. World Agri-Tech gives us the opportunity to meet those people and get inspired by the exciting content they have to share. Our expertise in animal nutrition can help fast‐track growth; we want to connect with people looking to partner to bring new ideas to market, including start-ups, scale-ups, established companies and potential co-investors in animal farming tech and alternative proteins for food.
Join Viggo’s colleague, Joost Matthijssen, Nutreco’s Investment Director at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit speaking on the Day 2 panel: Exits, Acquisitions & The Future of AgTech Investment at 4.30pm on Wednesday March 20.
Viggo will speak at the Animal AgTech Innovation Summit on a panel about The Microbiome in Precision Nutrition: Leveraging Metagenomics to Improve Quality, Growth Efficiency and Preventative Health at 11.30am on Monday March 18.

I’m intrigued by a new bicycle lock that’s claimed to be more thief-deterrent than its predecessors. Its Indiegogo page claims:
Many of today’s U-Locks are vulnerable to even simple hacksaws or crowbars. Some electronic locks that have fancy technology like GPS tracking and are app enabled can even be zapped into submission with an inexpensive taser. Serious thieves use serious tools like battery operated angle grinders and blow torches – that’s what it takes to cut through a quality lock. SKUNKLOCK is a hardened medium-carbon steel U-Lock that’s as difficult to compromise as the strongest U-Locks, AND comes with a surprise: it’s pressurized inside with a noxious chemical deterrent that slams the would-be thief with noxious chemicals. The chemicals are so disgusting they induce vomit in the majority of cases, and elicit an instinctive response to run away immediately.
. . .
Can’t a thief just wear a mask or protection?
Technically, yes. Will it help them steal your bike? Probably not. The formula that we’ve developed is detectable through even some of the most robust gas masks (unfortunately, we learned this the hard way!). More importantly, we aren’t strictly relying on chemicals incapacitating the thief to prevent the theft. There is no technology that can guarantee theft prevention; however, we do believe SKUNKLOCK is the best lock on the market to deter theft. Not only does an attack on the SKUNKLOCK release chemicals onto the thief that create a scene that makes people take notice, it also has economic implications for the thief. Our formula irreversibly ruins the clothes worn by the thief or any of the protection they may be wearing, and replacing these items is likely more expensive than the resale value of your stolen bike (generally only 1/10 of the retail price). You don’t need to be perfect, you just have to be the best protected on your block. So more than likely, a thief will attack a more hassle free bike parked nearby than your bike.
There’s more at the link. Here’s a promotional video for the Indiegogo campaign.
I think it’s an ingenious idea. However, I can think of a few drawbacks, too.
- What happens to your bike when the gas is released? Doesn’t the stench make it unrideable until it’s been thoroughly cleaned? Looks like you might strand yourself, as well as deterring a would-be thief. Also, wouldn’t the skunk oil or whatever it is penetrate softer materials like the bike’s saddle, or any pannier or container mounted on the bike? That would mean you’d have to replace all such items, as I’m sure the smell wouldn’t wash out.
- What about surrounding people and businesses? If a thief releases the gas, and it’s sucked into a shop’s air-conditioning or heating system, it might make the entire shop unfit for habitation, and render some or all of its stock unsaleable. I can see all sorts of lawsuits coming out of that!
- What if you get a thief without a working sense of smell?
Now, if one could fit something like that to a bicycle, with a gas cylinder concealed within the frame and an exhaust jet aimed up through the middle of the saddle, timed to go off as the thief rode it away . . . | <urn:uuid:020096ae-2203-4e8f-90d6-1704dc0e277a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://bayourenaissanceman.com/raising-stink-with-bike-thieves/ | 2024-02-23T16:23:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.947442 | 741 | 1 |

BFW/Marcum wouldn’t be where it is today without a solid foundation based on innovation, hard work, and some good decisions at key moments in the firm’s growth. While we may come from a humble background, we’ve become something greater than we could have ever imagined. However, how we got to where we are is just as important as where we’re going.
An Engineer and an Entrepreneur Walk into a Bar
Mark Workman, one of our founders, remembers the beginnings of BFW/Marcum fondly.
“Chris Farmer and I were competitors when we first met. Yet, we found common ground in that we were both questioning our career paths at our respective companies. We decided to meet at a local Paducah bar by the name of the Twinkling Star and discuss our futures.
We hit it off, not because we were exactly alike, but because our personalities were completely different. We envisioned coming together in a way that allowed our personalities and skillsets to complement one another. We’ve since learned that’s exactly the recipe for a successful partnership. At the time, we were taking a gamble.
Our first office was in my spare bedroom. We had just as much workspace as an old dusty card table from my attic would allow. As barebones as the setup was, we felt that same thrill Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak must have felt when they were working out of a garage: Your space didn’t matter—your ideas were flowing, and that was what was important.”
The Blueprints Are Arranged
Chris Farmer, another one of our founders, recalls the process behind the plan.
“The original plan was to start in the environmental consulting sector and slowly transition into an overall consulting firm for the engineering industry. We laid the groundwork, and it looked very straightforward on paper, but the execution was something else entirely.
Both Mark and I were pretty green at that point in our careers. I was twenty-seven at the time and just testing the waters of entrepreneurship. We understood you needed tenacity and a certain threshold of risk, but it’s easy to underestimate just how much of both is required to run a venture.”
Farmer and Workman Come Together
“In hindsight, we have so many people to thank for much of our success. It seemed that each step of the way, we had someone willing to take a chance on us or even mentor us. It just goes to show that if you’re kind, have a vision, and are willing to work hard, people will take notice.
We can truly say that Bacon Farmer Workman and Marcum have been built on relationships with people who believed in our vision, which, back then, was to simply survive and get noticed in the competitive engineering industry. We’ve since figured that part out and are constantly looking forward to the exciting progress our industry has made and the multitude of resources we have at our disposal today thanks to our success.
Today, we are blessed to have nine locations with over 100 of the most talented professionals in the industry, not just on our team, but in our family. With that said, the key to our future success is based around our mission, values, and the subsequent culture of the company. Every coworker at BFW/Marcum contributes to multiple levels, from technical expertise to the culture of the company and the way we do business. The future of the firms is limitless because of what we value most: our clients, the community, and our family of employees.”
Ron Bacon Joins and Bacon Farmer Workman is Created
Ron Bacon had decades of experience already under his belt when he decided to join the small firm that Mark and Chris had put together.
“I came to the firm almost through sheer chance. There was a change in ownership at my previous employer, which left me to decide if I wanted to leave the Paducah region to stay with that firm. I had a strong desire to stay where I was, which led me to the opportunity to join Mark and Chris. They’d already begun a successful albeit small firm. Everyone onboard was young and hungry, but they were at a pivotal point in the firm’s growth where they needed to add some depth to their experience.
I was well into my engineering career with over twenty years of experience. After some discussion, the three of us decided to work together, and the rest is history. There’s an odd detail I will always remember about my first day at the firm: Even with the amount of success they had, and the subsequent hustle and bustle of the office, I asked where the coffee pot was on my first day. Both Mark and Chris looked at one another and admitted they didn’t have one—no one drank coffee there. I couldn’t imagine an engineer that didn’t run on caffeine, so I asked them to send someone out to grab a coffee maker that day, and they happily obliged. I like to think we received a 5% bump in productivity from that day onward. Everyone can thank me.
It seemed that, almost overnight, Bacon Farmer Workman started to open doors to a much larger array of projects. My experience mixed with the rest of our team’s energy seemed to be a winning combination. When I joined the firm, I nearly hit the ground running, and it hasn’t seemed to slow down since.
Today, we are at a privileged place in our industry where we can afford to bring in talent even if we do not exactly need the manpower. When we bring people in, we invest in them, and we want them to stay with us. It’s a great place to be.”
BFW becomes BFW/Marcum
We wanted to broaden our engineering services with the addition of mechanical and electrical. We chose to acquire a reputable firm from Bill Marcum, PE. With our acquisition of Marcum Engineering in 1999, we needed to bring someone in to lead the transition and act as the figurehead for that part of our business—that someone was Baccus Oliver, who will now explain what an asset Marcum Engineering has become to the firm.
“I came on board to assist with the acquisition of Marcum Engineering. I helped with the onboarding process of that firm, and today, I lead the Marcum side of the firm as Mechanical Principal Engineer.
A lot has changed after we took ownership of Marcum. We grew our resources from five to thirty employees, and we’ve moved to a larger facility that is shared with BFW. Beyond that, we’re building up an office right now in Marion, Illinois.
Bringing another firm into the fold isn’t as simple as laying down some money. You have to carefully preserve what made that business special in the first place. Each piece of our firm is a puzzle—you need to find where the pieces fit together. It takes patience and due diligence.”
Marcum Energy Management Solutions (MEMS) is Born and BFW/Marcum Corner the High-Performance Market
Russ Litsinger likes to say his career with us started with “little experience but boundless ambition.” While he may be humble about his experience, his ambition was indeed boundless. Russ was brought in to spearhead our high-performance and energy-efficiency efforts and helped us to make MEMS what is it today—an industry-leading solution to build high-performance, green, and energy-efficient structures.
“My career began with the firm in 2005. I had recently graduated from engineering school while also working full-time. Looking back, I give Mark, Chris, Ron, and Baccus a lot of credit for taking a chance on someone who had very little previous experience with HVAC or general consulting. They must have seen something in me.
After joining the firm, I spent the next six years ‘learning the ropes’ and listening to my incredibly talented colleagues. Much of what they taught me isn’t taught in school; it’s real-world engineering, something you only get from the field and dealing with experts.
It was into the six-year mark that I was given the opportunity to spearhead a segment of the firm that would be devoted to advancing the art and science of energy-efficiency and high-performance buildings. Thus, MEMS was born.
Since I joined, I’ve seen the entire firm grow before my eyes. We had around forty employees when I started and now have over a hundred, all with diverse skill sets. We continue to work together in profound ways, making each of our contributions so much more when it all comes together seamlessly. I take this wider philosophy and apply it to my work at MEMS. We’re structured to be agile and to respond to the rapidly-changing paradigms in the energy industry. We accomplish this by building, piece by piece, a team of knowledgeable people that come together as one unit.”
What’s in Store for the Future?
According to Russ, “I expect to see the company continue to reach new heights in the years to come, largely as a result of the strength of character of the people who make up our organization.
I’m often reminded of something Albert Einstein once said about the character of a person, and I think it can be applied to our success here at BFW/Marcum:
‘Try not to become a person of success but rather try to become a person of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a person of value will give more than he receives.’” | <urn:uuid:7a5aa033-c506-41ea-870a-eaf85a5acc7f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://bfwengineers.com/firm-spotlight/how-we-got-where-we-are/ | 2024-02-23T16:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.980698 | 2,027 | 1 |
- Sensitive instruments reveal methane beneath the Arctic Ocean for the first time.
- The gas is released in cycles that correspond to the tides.
- Rising warming oceans may help to contain the greenhouse gas.
It’s a rhythm that preceded our presence on Earth: The moon’s inexorable push and pull on our planet’s oceans. According to researchers at University of Tromsø, The Arctic University of Norway, it turns out that the moon does more than move the tides—it also controls the release of methane into the atmosphere from below the Arctic Ocean. There’s no reason to think it’s not true in other seas as well.
This is yet another example of the complexity of global warming, methane being the other major greenhouse gas. All sorts of things are involved in keeping the environment in balance that one would never expect, like the moon. The study points out that it’s not all bad news, however, since as the oceans rise they may help the moon in controlling methane’s release.
The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Methane often takes second billing to carbon dioxide in discussions of climate change, likely because it dissipates much more quickly. However, its warming effect is actually far more intense that CO2‘s — it is 84 times more potent. Methane makes up about 25 percent of our greenhouse gases.
Says co-author of the study Andreia Plaza Faverola, “We noticed that gas accumulations, which are in the sediments within a meter from the seafloor, are vulnerable to even slight pressure changes in the water column. Low tide means less of such hydrostatic pressure and higher intensity of methane release. High tide equals high pressure and lower intensity of the release.”
This phenomenon has not been previously observed. While significant gas hydrate concentrations have been sampled in the area, no methane release had been documented. “It is the first time that this observation has been made in the Arctic Ocean,” says co-author
Jochen Knies. “It means that slight pressure changes can release significant amounts of methane. This is a game-changer and the highest impact of the study.”

The researchers buried a tool called a piezometer in the sediment on the ocean floor, and left it in place for four days. During that time, the instrument made hourly measurements of pressure and temperature in the sediments, and these indicated the presence of methane close to the sea floor, increasing at low tide and decreasing at high tide.
Their first notable observation was, of course, the presence of the gas on the Arctic Ocean floor despite a lack of other more visible indicators of its presence. “This tells us that gas release from the seafloor is more widespread than we can see using traditional sonar surveys,” says Plaza Faverola. “We saw no bubbles or columns of gas in the water.” She credits the watchful presence of the piezometer for making the discovery: “Gas burps that have a periodicity of several hours won’t be identified unless there is a permanent monitoring tool in place, such as the piezometer.”
Enthuses Knies, “What we found was unexpected and the implications are big. This is a deep-water site. Small changes in pressure can increase the gas emissions but the methane will still stay in the ocean due to the water depth.”
Of course, not all the Earth’s waters are equally deep, and there may not be enough water weight in some places to contain the methane below. “But what happens in shallower sites?” asks Knies. “This approach needs to be done in shallow Arctic waters as well, over a longer period. In shallow water, the possibility that methane will reach the atmosphere is greater.”
The basic mechanics at play are simple. Higher tides mean more water pressing down on the methane, and this increased pressure keeps it from rising away from the sea floor. Low tide means less water, less pressure, and a greater opportunity for the methane to escape.
The researchers note in their study that this simple relationship may actually offer a silver lining to the rising of the world’s ocean as the planet cools. There will be more water, and thus more pressure to keep methane from escaping up and into the atmosphere. In essence, higher sea levels may have something of a cooling effect by keeping methane out of the atmosphere.
In the end, there’s not much we can do about the Moon and its tides, but the more knowledge we have of the mechanisms behind climate change the better.
As Plaza Faverola puts it:
“Earth systems are interconnected in ways that we are still deciphering, and our study reveals one of such interconnections in the Arctic: The moon causes tidal forces, the tides generate pressure changes, and bottom currents that in turn shape the seafloor and impact submarine methane emissions. Fascinating!” | <urn:uuid:e54b6d58-7401-475f-afa5-4c484c6f94b5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://bigthink.com/hard-science/moon-methane/ | 2024-02-23T17:41:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.938293 | 1,065 | 5 |
Introduction to EPDM Roofing Material
As experts in the cleaning industry, Bio-One Atlanta understands the importance of reliable and durable construction materials. Among the various roofing options available today, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer) is gaining significant popularity. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the cost, comparisons, and pros of EPDM roofing material to help you make an informed decision for your roofing needs.
The Cost of EPDM Roofing Material
When considering the cost of EPDM roofing material, it is essential to evaluate both short-term expenses and long-term benefits. EPDM roofing typically has a lower upfront cost compared to other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles or metal roofs. This affordability makes it an attractive option for both residential and commercial properties.
Furthermore, EPDM roofing offers excellent durability and weather resistance, which can translate into long-term savings. It requires minimal maintenance, reducing the need for costly repairs and replacements. EPDM roofs have been known to last for up to 50 years, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Comparisons with Other Roofing Materials
EPDM roofing material stands out when compared to other popular roofing options. Let's explore some key comparisons:
EPDM vs. Asphalt Shingles
While asphalt shingles are a common choice for roofs due to their affordability, EPDM roofing material offers enhanced durability, resistance to weather elements, and a longer lifespan. EPDM is also resistant to cracking and fading over time, making it a more reliable option.
EPDM vs. Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are known for their longevity and strength, but they can be costlier than EPDM roofing. Additionally, EPDM roofing provides better insulation, reducing energy costs and enhancing overall efficiency.
EPDM vs. TPO Roofing
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing is another popular option known for its energy-saving capabilities. However, EPDM roofing is more flexible and resistant to extreme temperature changes, making it a more suitable choice for regions with varying climates.
Pros of EPDM Roofing Material
EPDM roofing material offers several advantages that make it a sought-after choice among homeowners and business owners alike:
EPDM roofs can withstand harsh weather conditions, including UV exposure, hail, and high winds. This durability ensures long-lasting protection for your property.
2. Easy Installation
EPDM roofing material is relatively lightweight and easy to install. This helps reduce labor costs and minimizes disruptions during the installation process.
3. Low Maintenance
Once installed, EPDM roofs require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing options. Occasional inspections and cleaning are generally sufficient to keep the roof in optimal condition.
4. Energy Efficiency
EPDM roofs have excellent insulation properties, meaning they can help regulate indoor temperature and reduce energy consumption. This leads to potential savings on heating and cooling costs.
5. Environmentally Friendly
EPDM roofs are considered an environmentally friendly choice as they are made from recycled materials. Additionally, their longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, minimizing overall waste.
In summary, EPDM roofing material proves to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for both residential and commercial properties. Its affordability, durability, and various advantages make it a competitive choice when compared to other roofing options.

The grass blades that are pushed in the direction of you will certainly look darker than the turf that flexes away from you.
You begin developing a striped lawn Solar Street Light to the ideal elevation. It is very important to have the appropriate type of lawn mower to produce the stripes. You require the lawn mower to be fitted with a roller that will certainly squash the turf as you continue cutting the grass. Therefore, the walk-behind mower (also called cylinder or reel lawn mower) is the correct devices to utilize. At the front, there is a round blade that spins and slices the turf, while the tracking roller flattens it.
The mower has to be pushed in parallel rows. Beginning with one edge of the lawn, you need to push the lawn mower throughout the size of the grass. On reaching the end, you must transform as well as start relocate together with the row that you had just made. Take care to have a yard bag with the mower to accumulate the cut grass so that the grass is kept clean.
After the mowing is done, you must sprinkle the yard as it will certainly make the stripes come to be even more prominent. A crucial point to bear in mind is that you ought to maintain differing the striping direction every now and then. The bent-over lawn guards the turf that is listed below it from the sun and also could kill it, gradually. | <urn:uuid:71556fd4-db9d-4943-b019-6fdf64ec914f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://brandtouchmedia.com/produce-a-stunning-striped-lawn-that-looks-like-a-lovely-baseball-field/ | 2024-02-23T16:22:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.968151 | 458 | 1 |
The effects of climate change have increased in intensity in recent years. In 2020, there were 22 natural disasters in the U.S. alone — a record-breaking number that caused $100.2 billion in damages, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This year, the U.S. has seen just 18 natural disasters, but the cost of the damage has increased to $104.8 billion.
For many businesses, the effects of climate change make it difficult to plan for financial risks like weather-related fluctuations in revenue, operating costs and asset damages. The Demex Group, which just raised $9 million in Series A funding, offers businesses insights and solutions to predict and prepare for climate-related risks.
Demex’s climate resistance platform integrates weather data, cash flow models and insurance partners to design customized coverage for companies based on their geographical location and unique risks. Using historical data and current weather patterns, Demex helps businesses analyze, price and transfer climate-linked risks at scale.
Take a snow removal company, for example. Since climate change has made snowfall in certain regions less predictable, a snow removal company would have difficulty predicting revenue and expenses from year to year. Through weather forecasting and analyzing the snow removal company’s operational costs, Demex can develop a revenue protection insurance plan for when snowfall is low and give financial insights into what minimum revenue the company should expect.
“Property owners, tenants and managers are typically overlooked by the incumbent weather risk marketplace that focuses on agriculture and energy,” Demex founder and CEO Ed Byrns said in a statement. “Recent advances in cloud computing, big data and blockchain have enabled us to deliver a simple, secure and scalable platform that’s specifically designed for climate resiliency.”
D.C.-based Demex also recently launched its Climate Indicator as a free public resource for researching how climate affects businesses. With 650,000 unique climate assessments, anyone can look up how historic and predicted weather changes might affect local businesses given variables like summer heat, winter chill, rainfall and snowfall. This tool makes researching climate risks free and easy for a company looking to up its existing coverage or prepare for new risks in a continually changing world.
Demex isn’t the only D.C.-area climate tech company receiving venture capital for climate change preparation. Just last month, thermal infrared data analytics company Hydrosat raised $10 million to launch its first satellite to assess climate change-related threats. | <urn:uuid:ff8f1a0a-409e-4f0d-9d44-9c6272b2a4a7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://builtin.com/washington-dc/demex-group-raises-9m-climate-change-120221 | 2024-02-23T17:10:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.944146 | 514 | 1 |

Introducing Plant Get Enough, a plant-based feast consisting of freshly prepared veggies and pulses, just like a hearty casserole. Powered by plants, devoured by dogs.
Our customer feedback revealed that a significant number of people had a growing interest in reducing their environmental impact. As well as other ongoing initiatives, we decided that one way of supporting this interest was to produce a new recipe that would be our most sustainable yet.
Dogs are omnivores, not carnivores. Even their wolf ancestors would eat plants during a scavenge, as well as meat. Thousands of years of evolution mean that today’s domesticated dogs have a very adaptable digestive system, allowing them to survive (and thrive) on a variety of different foods.
We would always recommend incorporating variety into your dog’s diet. Many pup parents opt for Plant Get Enough alongside feeding some of our meat-based recipes, such as Chicken You Out and Pork This Way.
We also offer a vegetarian recipe, Ready Steady Veggie.

Only a daring marijuana grower would attempt to grow marijuana outdoors in winter. You will be fighting against many odds (pathogens, mold, and pests, you name it) and risk losing your entire crop should the temps fall below 15°C.
On the flip side, apart from it being a daring adventure you will also be having weed when everyone else around you is waiting it out for the weather to get a bit warm. This 5 minute read explains to you how to grow marijuana outdoors during winter.
Growing Marijuana Outdoors in Winter
If you are growing weed in winter you are better off doing it indoors where you can at least mimic ideal growing conditions. Alternatively, if you are keen on growing weed outdoors you should not be doing it during winter. Winter and outdoors don’t make an oxymoron of sorts when it comes to growing marijuana. However, that’s not what this article is about. This is about going against the grain to grow marijuana outdoors in winter and harvesting bountifully. This is how to do it.
1. Find the Ideal Space For Your Outdoor Marijuana Grow
This is one of the most important steps if at all you will have a chance of harvesting some resinous nugs. There are two options here, you can either choose to grow your marijuana directly in the soil or opt to grow it in pots. If you are using pots then you can always move the pots around should conditions dictate.
However, potted marijuana is more likely to lose heat as compared to planting directly in the soil. When the temperature gets below 15°C, the roots stop absorbing nutrients and the plants begin to die. So here we must be talking about fair winter conditions and not extreme winter when temperatures go below zero degrees.
If you are growing directly in the ground then do your research well. You should be looking for a spot where the plants will get the most sunlight as possible. You also want to choose a spot that is shielded from direct wind; though a slight breeze is always welcome. High walls and shrubs act as good windbreakers.
Lastly, you want to choose a spot with privacy and security. Don’t let the whole neighborhood snoop on your winter canopy; that’s a sure fire way to attract unwelcome visitors aka thieves to reap the rewards of your hard labor.
2. Find the Right Marijuana Strain
Some marijuana strains are adapted to the harsh conditions of winter. If the conditions get extreme in winter the plants will be battling against molds, pests, pathogens, and diseases. You need a strain that is highly resistant to these conditions. Plants with ruderalis genetics generally do better in cold weather. We will be looking at the 5 best strains that fit this description at the need of this article.
3. Go for Auto Flowering Indica Varieties
Indicas do better in cold weather as compared to sativa varieties. Auto flowering plants on the other hand will flower regardless of the light cycle. If you go for photoperiod varieties, they may remain in the vegetative stage towards the end of winter when they are supposed to be flowering. This is because they adapt their growth to the light cycle. So a combination of indicas that have auto flowering ability will guarantee you higher chances of success.
4. Grow the Seedlings Indoors
As much as you want to grow your marijuana outdoors in winter you should consider starting the seedlings off in an indoor grow. The seedlings need a warm and humid environment which may not be feasible to achieve in the outdoor winter conditions. After 2-3 weeks when the plants are in the vegetative stage you can move the seedlings outdoors. Also start your grow in early winter to so you can be harvesting before the conditions become extreme.
5. Monitor Temperature and Rainfall
The trick is to avoid soil temperatures below 15°C where the roots can no longer absorb nutrients from the soil. Do everything possible to avoid frost as this will destroy your entire harvest. Because you have no control over the elements of weather, should the temperatures get to sub zero levels you will have no choice but to move your plants indoors.
Overwatering is usually an issue when it comes to growing marijuana. If the rainfall exceeds 4 inches, your plants will be in the danger zone. Preventive fungicides containing Bacillus subtilis as the active ingredient can prevent molds that occur after prolonged heavy rain. Potassium bicarbonate also helps to kill fungal spores. However, the best way to remedy this is to provide shelter from the rainfall which could mean improving an outdoor greenhouse.
6. Plan B is a Homemade Greenhouse
If the winter conditions get extremely unfavorable you can opt for a greenhouse. Setting up a greenhouse can be a costly affair. However, you can DIY your own greenhouse at home and move your plants in whenever there is need to. A greenhouse will give you more control over temperature, humidity, and rainfall.
Awesome Marijuana Strains for Winter
1. Sticky Beast Automatic Strain
This auto flowering marijuana strain from Zamnesia can do well in winter-like conditions. It is a hybrid cross of three strains: Bubble Gum, OG Kush, and Critical Auto. It is easy to grow and requires minimal TLC. It is a hardy marijuana variety that is resistant to cold and pests. Best of all, it flowers in 8 weeks.
2. Gorilla Glue Auto Strain
Gorilla Glue is a household strain in the US that is loved for its flavor and potency. The auto flowering variety that is crossed with ruderalis aka Gorilla Glue Auto is suited for winter-like conditions.
3. Critical Strain
Critical is a resilient marijuana strain that thrives in cold northern climates. It flowers within 7 weeks making it an ideal strain for winter growing. With Afghani and Hindu Kush genetics, this variety is able to survive the harsh conditions of winter.
These are three strains that you can try growing weed outdoors in winter. Always go for strains that are hardy and highly resistant to cold weather; choose auto flowering varieties over photoperiod varieties of marijuana. Also, remember that indicas do better in cold climates as compared to sativas.
This brings us to the end of how to grow marijuana outdoors in winter, it’s an adventure but one that is worth every effort.

Our greatest opportunities for growth and innovation often lie within our own teams and processes. Embracing agility, celebrating diversity, fostering seamless collaboration between HR and Marketing, strategically aligning Sales with Marketing, and encouraging our executives to connect on social media – these are more than just tactics. These are powerful steps towards building a more responsive, creative, and unified business culture. As our CEO Beth Trejo wisely advises, “In business, the real breakthrough comes from shattering internal barriers, not just external obstacles.”
In this article, we’re zeroing in on dismantling internal barriers by taking a closer look inward, reimagining our digital strategies, and discovering how these changes can be powerful steps toward innovation and success for your business.
Forget the old playbook. In the digital world, agility is key to smashing through internal barriers. It’s about being nimble, ready to evaluate and pivot strategies every quarter, not just annually. This agile approach breaks down the walls of traditional planning, ensuring your marketing stays as dynamic and fluid as the online world itself. It’s not just moving fast; it’s moving smart, keeping pace with the ever-evolving consumer heartbeat.
Diversity is King
Digital marketing thrives on diversity; it’s what propels digital marketing to new heights. Envision a small team, but each person is a powerhouse in their own domain. It’s not just about having different job titles; it’s about the magic that happens when you mix unique perspectives and inventive ideas. Content creators, data analysts, project managers, and ad strategists – each play a pivotal role. This diversity keeps your brand agile, attuned, and always a step ahead. It also ensures that your marketing strategies are as multifaceted as the online world itself, constantly evolving and resonating with a wide array of audiences.
Connecting the Dots between HR & Marketing
In the world of business, HR and Marketing are often like two different planets in the same solar system. Yet, when it comes to the essentials – recruiting top talent, tuning into employee sentiments, and keeping the team together – they orbit around the same goals. Here’s where the magic of collaboration comes into play. By teaming up through digital marketing initiatives, they’re not just hiring; they’re magnetically attracting the right people. They’re not just listening; they’re deeply understanding what makes the workforce tick. And they’re not just retaining; they’re building a fortress of loyalty and satisfaction. This dynamic duo turns recruitment ads into beacons of attraction, employee feedback into actionable insights, and a good workplace into a great one.
Sales + Marketing = Dream Team
Aligning sales and marketing is one of the smartest decisions you can make. An account-based marketing approach guides your marketing efforts straight to the needs and desires identified by your sales team. This is about making tailored efforts for the specific audiences that your sales insights have spotlighted. When your customers have a journey that feels like it was designed just for them, it leads to deeper connections and more meaningful conversions. This strategy transforms leads into long-term relationships, weaving the expertise of sales and marketing into a single, powerful narrative that captivates your audience and drives business success.
Executives, Get Social!
In today’s world, an executive’s presence on social media is gold. When leaders are active online, it’s more than just a profile; it’s a statement. They become the torchbearers of transparency, driving authenticity and connecting with audiences on a personal level. This move not only breaks down walls within the organization but also crafts a more relatable and trustworthy brand image. It’s about showing the faces behind the brand, building trust, and connecting with your audience on a personal level.
Each step towards breaking down these barriers is a step towards understanding each other better, sparking innovation, and creating a work environment where every voice is heard and every idea is valued. In doing so, we don’t just enhance our marketing efforts; we cultivate a workplace where people feel empowered and connected to the larger goals of the business.

The „International Enterprise & Finance Grasp Program is a full-time, actually international program, which is ready to encourage and drawback you over 18 months as you develop strategic, financial, enterprise and management capabilities. RAND has explored the feasibility of utilizing renewable assets such as wind energy and ethanol to scale back CO2 emissions and improve vitality security, and analyzed the seemingly results of such applied sciences on client energy prices. An considerable supply of renewable vitality, the very air around us can be used to generate both warmth and electricity.
Also thought-about had been the fuel’s impression on air pollution and therefore human health, the provision of obligatory assets, and the power type’s reliability. The facility of the wind is harnessed to propel the blades of wind turbine attached to an electric generator to generate wind power.
Wind power is an efficient alternative source of vitality in areas the place the rate of wind circulation is high. Our energy experience spans from the photo voltaic, wind and energy storage sectors to unconventional oil and gasoline. There are a lot of spectacular choices which you could take into accounts corresponding to photo voltaic tankless water heater reviews.
Renewables, it’s argued, are nothing greater than a derivative of the fossil gas economic system. Renewable energy sources that don’t produce carbon dioxide emissions and different greenhouse gasses that contribute to anthropogenic climate change. Undoubtedly solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, tides and the ocean on the whole also can make a major contribution to the world needs of electricity but this contribution doesn’t appear to be resolutive.
In an effort to delay the life span of our finite supply of fossil fuels, there have been vital technological advances that have given new life to the discovery of fossil fuels.

On May 20, the Group of Seven (G7) finance ministers and central bank governors released a communique stating their intent to explore a “climate club,” a formal alliance between like-minded countries to harmonize carbon emissions reductions. Such an agreement has the potential to accelerate decarbonization and promote sustainable development. It can also create a competitive advantage for more efficient U.S. businesses at home and greater demand for their products globally.
The G7 are the world’s largest and wealthiest liberal democracies: the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the UK. Upon assuming the G7 presidency at the start of the year, Germany committed to advancing a climate club among G7 members and other willing countries as part of a joint strategy to address climate change.
The primary goal of the club as proposed by Germany is to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement in the following ways:
G7 members should:
- Agree on uniform standards for the pricing of CO2
- Agree on common measures for supporting countries that implement ambitious climate protection measures
- Promote the transfer of knowledge and technology to non-G7 club members
- Support climate policy reform in non-G7 club member countries
- Accelerate the just, global transition towards sustainable and climate-neutral societies
- Enhance research on tackling climate change
- Align climate aspects with the Global Sustainable Development Goals and with security policy as it relates to climate change as a risk multiplier
In the global market today, emissions associated with the production of internationally-traded goods go largely unpriced, giving an unfair advantage to the dirtiest, most unregulated economies. Trade policies that account for the carbon emissions embodied in goods would flip the incentives, rewarding producers who adopt cleaner practices.
A climate club would “turn climate action from a cost factor into a competitive advantage – by agreeing on joint minimum standards,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at the World Economic Forum in January. Depending on how those standards are defined, a climate club could enhance the trade of cleaner goods across the economies of the G7, as well as spur decarbonization in non-G7 countries.
America stands to gain from such a shift. Energy-intensive, globally traded commodities such as steel are made with less carbon emissions in the U.S. than most other regions in the world, especially outside the G7 countries. By joining a climate club with other G7 countries, carbon-efficient U.S. companies would realize a competitive advantage domestically and see greater demand for their products globally.
A climate club made up of some of the world’s cleanest economies and wealthiest consumer markets can also be a powerful engine for decarbonization. At present, much of the growth in global emissions is fueled by export-oriented economies whose economies have carbon intensities several times that of the G7 economies. If all imports to the U.S., EU, UK, Japan, and Canada were produced with a similar carbon intensity to their domestic markets, annual global emissions would be roughly 5.4%, or 1.8 billion tons of CO2, lower.
The climate club envisioned by Germany would be open to developing countries. As club members, emerging economies could have access to climate finance and technology transfer, ensuring industrialization and development is underpinned by lower-carbon technologies and infrastructure. With the right incentives in place, G7 countries can also support emerging economies in developing key commodities for export, such as manufactured metals used in solar and wind energy and electric vehicle batteries. This will strengthen the security of clean energy supply chains and ensure economic development in emerging markets is aligned with promising G7 consumer economies.
The discussion around climate clubs is the latest example of an emerging effort to harness trade relationships and geopolitical alliances towards faster decarbonization. By working in coordination, the U.S. and our G7 partners can unlock substantial climate benefits, create new opportunity for cleaner firms, demonstrate that climate ambition and economic success go hand-in-hand, and promote more robust international trade consistent with deep decarbonization. | <urn:uuid:14472e8f-cb2f-45bd-b471-14a7e6f63847> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clcouncil.org/blog/the-g7-climate-club-a-path-to-global-decarbonization%EF%BF%BC/ | 2024-02-23T15:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.942836 | 836 | 7 |
The United Nations climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland—known as COP26—closed on Nov. 13 with a new climate agreement: the Glasgow Climate Pact. The pact reaffirms the global community’s commitment to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and includes commitments to reduce methane, end deforestation, and support the countries most impacted by climate change.
But like most international agreements, the pact lacks an enforcement mechanism. States are strongly encouraged to reduce emissions, but they can’t be forced to do so, and if they fall short of targets, there will be few repercussions—if any. As a result, some experts are putting their money on economic rather than political solutions to the climate crisis.
One of them is “club theory,” popularized by Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus in 2015. The “club” is a group of countries wherein members adhere to a common carbon tax or “price on pollution.” Nonmember countries are subjected to a 3 percent tariff on products they sell to members, incentivizing them to join. To date, more than 3,600 economists have signed a statement saying carbon taxes are the most “cost-effective lever to reduce carbon emissions.” | <urn:uuid:f102b79b-e908-44d3-801f-36aa91017921> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://clcouncil.org/media-coverage/how-to-make-a-carbon-club-work/ | 2024-02-23T16:43:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.937865 | 253 | 4 |
One of the world’s leading management consulting firms, BCG, has signed a 10-year carbon removal agreement with Climeworks to remove part of their unavoidable emissions.
This is the second 10-year agreement for Climeworks, which proves that there is high long-term demand for measurable and permanent carbon dioxide removal.
Through this contract, which is the first of several direct air capture agreements BCG expects to sign, BCG is setting an example for the fast adoption of technological carbon removal.
On top of the purchasing agreement, BCG will provide consulting services to help accelerate the scale-up of Climeworks' services.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world’s leading management consulting firms, has signed a 10-year agreement with Climeworks. As part of the firm’s commitment to reach net-zero climate impact by 2030, BCG purchases Climeworks’ carbon dioxide removal service to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and permanently store it underground.
This 10-year agreement, the second for Climeworks, sends a strong signal to the market and proves that there is high long-term demand for measurable and permanent carbon dioxide removal already today, which is set to grow significantly.
BCG’s commitment to reach net-zero climate impact by 2030 with Climeworks
In September 2020, BCG announced a bold new commitment to achieve net-zero climate impact by 2030 and, from there, to become climate-positive, removing more carbon from the atmosphere than they annually emit. BCG has now signed a 10-year agreement with Climeworks, which will remove part of BCG’s unavoidable CO₂ emissions and is thus an important part of the company’s net-zero strategy.
With this agreement, and others in this space still to come, BCG’s goal is to help unlock a meaningful direct air capture capacity by establishing long-term partnerships with direct air capture leaders to help scale the broader market and demonstrate the significant impact direct air capture can have in enabling companies to get to net-zero climate impact.
On top of the carbon removal purchasing agreement, BCG will provide consulting services to Climeworks with the objective of supporting the broader adoption and scaling of their services and thus help accelerate their scale-up.
"This is a critical partnership for BCG in our quest to lead in the decarbonization space. Not only will we use Climeworks services to help meet our own net zero goal by 2030, but we will also aim to make an even greater impact by acting as a consulting partner to Climeworks to help accelerate the broader adoption and scaling of their services worldwide.”, says Christoph Schweizer, CEO of BCG.
Christoph Gebald, co-CEO and co-founder of Climeworks
The carbon removal market’s ability to scale up fast relies on early action from pioneering companies. After having brought the first carbon removal plant into operations earlier this year, we are proud to be partnering with BCG as the first direct air capture company and help them achieve their 2030 net zero ambition. Such partnerships also play a vital role in inspiring other businesses to support science-based and scalable solutions. | <urn:uuid:01e2b6f4-1a04-4a2f-9d25-1a0d56f49098> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://climeworks.com/press-release/bcg-signs-direct-air-capture-partnership-with-climeworks | 2024-02-23T16:15:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.948889 | 656 | 3 |

Multiple hydrogen projects, valued into billions of pounds, are being pursued in northern England by large global energy companies such as BP, Centrica, Lhyfe and Equinor.
UK energy policy revisers have increased Britain’s hydrogen target production aim of 5GW to 10GW. Widening the role of hydrogen in UK decarbonisation efforts signifies that it could potentially be used as a source of heat for commercial and domestic properties across certain regions in England.
Comments Rinnai’s Chris Goggin, “Northern England could be linked by a chain of hydrogen production facilities that produce carbon reducing energy resources. It is therefore feasible that hydrogen will be used as a source of heat for domestic and commercial properties across northern England and North Wales – and this could be kickstarting a potentially greater UK wide hydrogen network”
UK international energy companies BP and Centrica as well as several other large global energy companies are planning on several huge hydrogen projects across northwest and northeast England. Northern England will be connected to various high output hydrogen production facilities increasing the likelihood of widespread consumption in domestic and commercial capacities.
Norwegian state-owned oil and gas company Equinor has submitted a bid for UK governmental funding of £16 million with the aim of constructing a blue hydrogen facility in the Humber region of England. A final investment decision will be made in 2025 on the Hydrogen to Humber (H2H) Production 2 site.
Equinor also plan to install a further blue hydrogen facility close to their H2H project. The Saltend project will begin operations in 2028 if construction and approval processes are not complicated by unforeseen events.
Both Saltend and Humber projects will use natural gas to produce blue hydrogen and utilise CCUS technology (Carbon Capture & Underground Storage) that will detain a vast majority of created emissions. Equinor also received £8.4 million in government funding, a figure matched by private investments to begin Saltend construction.
BP (British Petroleum) is pursuing an additional blue hydrogen facility in northeast England. H2Teesside will target 1GW of hydrogen production by 2030 with a final investment decision being made in 2027.
BP is further planning a green hydrogen facility located in northeast England – HyGreen Teesside. Production aims to be operational by 2025. Initial capacity will be around 80MW. BP will pursue a future planned expansion of up to 500MW.
Other notable hydrogen projects include Centrica transforming their offshore gas storage facility – Rough, into a hydrogen and natural gas storage installation. Centrica’s Rough facility consists of a partially depleted gas field in the Southern North Sea, 18 miles off the east coast of Yorkshire.
Once modifications are complete Rough will be the world’s largest hydrogen storage facility and is a further example of hydrogen’s potential prominence in northern England’s future energy mix. Investment by Centrica to convert their storage facility is thought to be around £2 billion.
A final hydrogen project located in, or around north England is a collaboration between French hydrogen company Lhyfe and Centrica. Both companies will work together to produce offshore wind generated green hydrogen. The initial pilot project will be located in the southern section of the North Sea.
Northeast and northwest England will soon have multiple hydrogen clusters and large hydrogen production projects becoming operational, including HyNet Northwest, a £750 million blue hydrogen joint venture project that includes big companies such as Cadent, Essar Oil UK and Eni UK.
The north of England will be linked by a chain of hydrogen production facilities that produce carbon reducing energy resources. It is therefore feasible that hydrogen will be used as a source of heat for domestic and commercial properties across northern England and North Wales.

We were recently sent a Hitachi SimpleTOUGH 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST/500GB (Carbon Fiber) to review, so that’s just what we did. We reviewed the heck out of it. This drive’s unique proposition is that it’s ruggedized and is shock and water resistant.
The exterior is has a weird textured yet smooth surface with rubber on the edges to absorb spills and falls. As you can see above, the USB cord itself is more like a thick cable than a wire and tucks into the back of the drive itself. The only downside there is that the cord is very short- so it’s not a problem to plug into laptops but for desktops it could get a little hard to place.
Sizewize, the drive is small but not tiny- it’s easy to hold thanks to the curved shape. Since Hitachi claims this a a tough drive and can handle drops up to 6 feet, we wanted to give it the full workout. We loaded up some data on it from the computer, with no problems, and handed it to our first test subject- the tough Belgian, to go crazy with it. It seemed like a great idea, but our test subject was very reluctant to interact with the drive in any way. Belgian Shepherds apparently do not like hard drives. Maybe we should have smeared some peanut butter on it first.
Well that didn’t work- so we had to go to plan b- the junior intern. The intern (and since he’s a “junior” intern, he doesn’t get to be called by name but instead just by “the intern” like all other interns) put this drive through the ringer. Dropping it on the hardwood floor, shaking it, running around with it, even trying to eat it (to test the water resistance, natch). He really earned his pay (nothing) with this review, maybe we’ll promote him to junior assistant blogger soon. Here’s the junior intern in our test lab, trying the hard drive out:
After all that testing, we plugged the drive back in to see if it the computer would still recognize it and the data was still there. And it worked just as it did before our testing! No problemo. The ruggedized design held up to the toddler…err junior intern’s abuse. So in summary- the drive does what it should and would be ideal for traveling or just throwing it into your bag without having to worry much about damaging it. | <urn:uuid:60ae194c-25ab-4f52-ab3b-a20b431373bc> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://craziestgadgets.com/2010/01/12/review-hitachi-simpletough-500-gb-usb-portable-external-hard-drive/ | 2024-02-23T18:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.966489 | 540 | 1 |
Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Awareness Programs for Schools
The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) annually supports a School Energy Intervention Program to mobilize schools children to make wise energy choices. The Centre has been annually implementing this program since 2003 onwards. Under this school energy intervention, the Centre annually celebrates the Energy Conservation Day on December 14, by organizing Energy Conservation funded by the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) under the Bal Urja Rakshak Dal Program (BURD) for the district of Vadodara since 2007. The rally is aimed mobilizing school children on wise use of energy and brings children in the forefront of energy and environment conservation. The Centre also implemented this School energy intervention’s basic component by making children conscious of energy consumption in homes and schools by reading their utility bills, conducting energy audits in their homes and schools to identify the potential savings and possibilities of adopting wise energy practices annually from 2004-2007 in about 60- 100 Schools. The Program aimed at understanding the importance of sustainable living by learning best practices in energy and environment. BURDies – Urja Rakshaks worked on 3 audits (electricity, water and energy in buildings) and 3 surveys (waste, air and transportation and biodiversity) to map the energy and water consumption, identify wastages and resources of their own school as practical hands-on energy and environment education. Participating in competitions, celebrations and public events such as rallies and Urja Utsavs, Urja Goshthis (Interactive Sessions) were being used effective communication tool. | <urn:uuid:8e27a189-7dd7-48af-a9f8-88c82552fc9b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://cscvadodara.com/project_details.php?c_id=215 | 2024-02-23T16:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.946673 | 314 | 2 |
Since the introduction of laneway suites in Toronto, the concept of multigenerational living has gained traction. Many in the city are looking for a place to call their own, but high prices and recent increases in borrowing costs have made it difficult. Laneway suites are emerging as a solution for families that wish to stay close while having separate spaces at the same time. Together, let’s look at some of the considerations and benefits of building a laneway suite to stay closer to family for longer.
Benefits of Multigenerational Living
Multigenerational living offers a host of benefits, both practical and emotional. Shared financial responsibilities can alleviate the burden of individual costs, while emotional support and caregiving potential foster stronger family bonds. Laneway suites present an opportunity to make the most of underutilized space on your property, creating a win-win situation for all generations involved.
Considerations for Designing Laneway Suites
Zoning and Legal Requirements
The first thing you should do when you have decided that you would like to build a laneway suite in Toronto is read into the by-laws. By reading through them, you can determine whether or not your property is eligible. You will also learn how big and high you can build, as of right.
Determine a realistic budget. One that will include hard and soft construction costs. You should also account for contingencies. If this is your first major construction project, you need to understand the financial commitment. Speak to different consultants and builders to gather quotes.
Designing for Senior Parents
For senior parents, prioritize features that support aging in place. Opt for single-floor layouts, incorporate non-slip flooring, and install grab bars in critical areas. These adjustments contribute to a safe and comfortable living environment. For seniors, it is important to keep things simple.
Ensure that entrances are accessible, with options for ramps or step-free entryways. Wide doorways facilitate wheelchair access, promoting independence and ease of movement for senior family members.
Proximity to Main House and Amenities
A well-integrated design ensures that senior parents feel both connected and independent. The closest you can build your laneway suite from the back of the main house is 7.5 metres. You can build it closer, but this would require additional steps in the planning process, requiring a committee of adjustments hearing, which may or may not get approved. The minimum width of the access to the main house is 90 centimetres. Keep in mind that this space should always be clear as it is the minimum width needed for emergency services to come in if ever required.
Designing for Young Adults
Privacy and Separate Living Spaces
For young adults or professionals, privacy is critical. Design the laneway suite with private entrances and implement soundproofing measures to create distinct living spaces. It ensures everyone has their own space while enjoying the benefits of multigenerational living.
The laneway suite should be designed for young adults with privacy in mind.
Create flexible layouts that can adapt to changing needs. Incorporate spaces that can serve as home offices or study areas, catering to the professional needs of young adults. This adaptability ensures that the laneway suite remains a practical and functional living space.
Incorporate high-speed internet access and smart home features. It appeals to the tech-savvy preferences of young professionals and ensures that the laneway suite is equipped for modern living.
Sustainable and Green Design
Consider integrating energy-efficient features such as solar panels and energy-efficient appliances. It reduces environmental impact and cuts utility costs, benefiting homeowners and investors in the long run.
Use of Eco-Friendly Materials
Opt for sustainable construction materials and consider or living walls. This eco-friendly approach aligns with the growing demand for environmentally conscious living spaces, potentially increasing the appeal and value of your property.
Financing and Budgeting Tips
Researching Available Grants or Incentives
Investors and first-time homebuyers should explore available grants or incentives for laneway suite construction. Many municipalities offer financial support for projects that align with specific criteria. Take advantage of these opportunities to ease the financial burden.
Working with a Financial Advisor
Seeking advice from a financial counsellor is a wise decision. They can guide you through the intricacies of funding, budgeting, and possible ROI. This guidance is precious for first-time homebuyers and investors entering the multigenerational living market.
Considering Long-Term Costs and Benefits
Look beyond the immediate costs and consider the long-term benefits of your laneway suite project. Whether creating a sustainable income stream for investors or providing a forever home for first-time homebuyers, understanding the long-term implications is crucial for a successful investment.
Laneway suites have proven to be a great option for families looking to stay together longer. Multigenerational living is a forward-thinking housing approach that provides a sense of independence for some and support for others. By carefully considering the needs of senior parents and young adults or professionals, incorporating sustainable design principles, and navigating financing and budgeting wisely, you can create a space that meets current needs and adapts to the changing dynamics of family life. Embrace the potential of laneway suites as a versatile and valuable addition to the ever-evolving landscape of modern living. | <urn:uuid:93ae7371-761f-42ef-83f6-f1076eb2d825> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://densecity.ca/multigenerational-living-and-laneway-suite-tips/ | 2024-02-23T17:42:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.913454 | 1,097 | 2 |
Basil is actually the English name for Ho-Yun. I first met him when he was brought in to design Monty Python’s Life of Brian book way back in the late 1970s. Having lived in America and done all sorts of naughty things, Basil married, settled down (a bit) and went back to live in his birthplace, Hong Kong. As Phileas Fogg’s route in Around the World took me through Hong Kong, Clem Vallance asked if I knew anyone who could show me around. Basil was the obvious choice. He not only became my on-screen guide to China, he and his wife obligingly had a daughter who was born on the day I left the Reform Club. Sonia, now 14, is exactly the same age as my telly-travelling life.
In addition to showing me round Basil displayed two, no sorry, three advantages that have made him indispensable on all my journeys since then. He loves good food and drink, takes lots of amazing photographs and wears straw hats everywhere, ensuring that I never lose sight of the film crew.
Action for Stammering Children
Based in the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children (MPC), a key partner of the Charity, we commission the MPC to deliver specialist assessments and therapies that change the lives of children and young people who stammer. We also coordinate various projects across the country aimed at boosting the confidence of young people who stammer, and allowing them to have a voice in the direction of the Charity.
At the charity Action for Stammering Children, we understand how confusing it can be for parent’s when discovering your child has a stammer. It may have just appeared overnight, or it may have become worse gradually over time. One minute it’s there, and the next it’s not. You don’t know what could have caused it and you don’t know where to get help. That’s where we come in.
As a UK registered charity, we aim for a society where children and young people who stammer have the same opportunities and quality of life as their peers. Our goal is to ensure that every child and young person across the UK who stammers has access to effective services and support to help them meet the challenges they face.
From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, we work in partnership with tribal peoples to protect their lives and land. They suffer racism, land theft, forced development and genocidal violence just because they live differently. It must stop.
We work in partnership with tribal peoples to campaign, lobby and protest for their land rights. We investigate, expose and confront atrocities committed by governments and big business. We are here to amplify the tribal voice and make sure it is heard.
Survival movement is a movement of people from over 100 countries. Our vision is a world where tribal peoples are respected as contemporary societies and their human rights protected.
We reject government funding so we can guarantee our absolute independence and integrity. We rely on you.
Royal Geographical Society
The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) is the UK’s learned society and professional body for geography. We advance geography and support geographers in the UK and across the world.
The Society was founded in 1830 to advance geographical science. Today, we achieve this by supporting geographical research, education, and fieldwork and expeditions, as well as by advocating on behalf of the discipline and promoting geography to public audiences. The Society holds over two million items, including maps, photographs, books, documents, paintings and artefacts, in its historical Collections.
The Society values its independence and the breadth of its activities to promote and support the discovery and understanding of the world’s people, places and environments. We welcome professional geographers, geography graduates and all those with an enthusiasm for geography, travel and exploration as members.
Save Britain’s Heritage
Historical Buildings Campaign Organisation
SAVE has been campaigning for historic buildings since its formation in 1975 by a group of architectural historians, journalists and planners.
SAVE is a strong, independent voice in conservation that has been fighting for threatened historic buildings and sustainable reuses since 1975. Free to respond rapidly to emergencies and to speak out loud for the historic environment.
We are at the forefront of national heritage conservation. We intervene to help historic buildings and places in serious danger of demolition or decay. We stand apart from other organisations by bringing together architects, engineers, planners and investors to offer viable alternative proposals.
Where necessary, and with expert advice, we take legal action to prevent major and needless losses.
Over a billion people in the world today have some form of disability. 80% of these people live in the developing world. We believe in helping to create a world where all disabled people are included and fully participate in every aspect of life.
At the moment, this is just a vision. The reality is that millions of disabled people don’t have access to the equipment, services or healthcare they need. They can’t leave their homes, go to school or find employment. They feel isolated from their friends and family. Many lose their lives to preventable complications. Most live in extreme poverty. But it doesn’t have to be this way. | <urn:uuid:50aa7d98-d8ac-4df4-9256-10c27b6a2a8d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://dev1.themichaelpalin.com/about/friends/ | 2024-02-23T17:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.957176 | 1,106 | 1 |
BEVERLY HILLS MD DEEP WRINKLE FILLER REVIEWS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT IS IT? A CLOSER LOOK AT BEVERLY HILLS MD DEEP WRINKLE FILLER
Beverly Hills MD Deep Wrinkle Filler reviews are my secret weapon to skipping painful injections and fillers. The best thing that happened to me when I started using BHMD Deep Wrinkle Filler was canceling my Botox appointments. They were simply no longer necessary, which is thrilling news! Even though I practice gentle skin care, the signs of aging including fine lines, creases and the dreaded deep wrinkles are harder to ignore now but cosmetic procedures are not always the best solution. Unlike cosmetic procedures that claim to offer a “quick fix,” for deep wrinkles Beverly Hills MD dramatically smooths your skin without painful injections. You can use it as an alternative to injections and fillers – because it actually works! I am so excited that I can say “Goodbye!” to Botox injection scars and the painful appointments.
In order to get the best results from my review I set out to compare this product to competitors in the same category. I went to the leading online shopping websites to find the best-selling wrinkle fillers. I checked Amazon.com and iHerb.com for the best-sellers products and recorded them. I also wanted to know what expert reviewers were saying, so I checked the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) to find out how the products stack up. I analyzed Beverly Hills MD Deep Wrinkle Filler based on four specific review criteria: feeling, does it work, ease-of-use and value. Here is what happened when I started using Beverly Hills MD Deep Wrinkle Filler and transformed my beauty routine.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF BEVERLY HILLS MD DEEP WRINKLE FILLER?
I was able to avoid invasive injections and fillers as soon as I started using this product. This is a game-changer beauty product for aging skin. You can use BHMD Deep Wrinkle Filler during your 20’s and 30’s and erase deep creasing after 40 for a fraction of the price of painful injections and fillers. You might be wondering, “How is this possible?”
The active ingredients include:
- Wrinkle-Smoothing Polymer Blend to “fill in” wrinkles and smooth creases on contact to last all day long.
- Diamond Powder reflects the light away from your face making wrinkles virtually invisible to the naked eye.
- Tightenyl delivers an exclusive bio-lifting effect to improve your skin texture over time for firmer skin and a youthful looking surface.

HOW DOES IT WORK? RESULTS AND EFFECTS OF BEVERLY HILLS DEEP WRINKLE FILLER
Typically, users notice these skin rejuvenating results:
- Immediate smoothing
- Long-term filler
My take: I realized that this product works best with other Beverly Hills MD formulas. You can learn more by reading Beverly Hills MD Dermal Repair Complex reviews and Beverly Hills Md Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream reviews.
DOES BEVERLY HILLS MD DEEP WRINKLE FILLER REALLY WORK?
This product is a painless alternative to expensive cosmetic procedures like Botox injections and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers. In fact, I was told that my first appointment for injections required a second appointment – only to get temporary results! I was able to get this product, try it and then cancel my second consultation because BHMD Deep Wrinkle Filler actually worked instantly. It was so effective that my boyfriend complimented my fresh look just days after I started applying the gel.
I think the easy-to-use syringe makes this an ideal alternative to cosmetic procedures for wrinkles. I recommend that if you are considering injections that you purchase a 90-day supply of this product instead. I got immediate and lasting results probably because it contains ingredients like tightenyl, actually shown to work. NOTE: All results will vary.
IS BEVERLY HILLS MD DEEP WRINKLE FILLER RIGHT FOR ME?
I recommend you rejuvenate your look, today! If you want to reveal younger looking skin this is the BHMD product to get. The company offers a 90 day money back guarantee if you are not totally satisfied. So, go ahead and treat yourself like a starlet. It is really easier than ever before to get the anti-aging results you’ve been wanting. Safe for sensitive skin types, it is recommended for adults of all ages. Get your money back if you do not see dramatic results. If you have acne prone skin or have a combination skin type use caution with the frequency of application.
“After using numerous kinds of facial cream I have found this product works so well and improves the texture of my skin. After only 1 week. Wow! What a difference! Love this product!” — Lori K.
“I had bought this product a while back and loved it. Now that I’m out, I’ve had to resort to cheaper products … SO , I’m saving up so I can purchase MORE ASAP! This is the most impressive product I’ve ever encountered. Thank you Dr’s for making an seasoned woman look as good as she feels.” Samantha J.
My take: This product gave me acne right on the area where I applied it because I used too much of it. I recommend that you be patient with your results because the long-term effects of this wrinkle filler are on par with injectables. This topical filler takes a little more time than an injection, like Botox but it is worth the wait! I felt this was a better option than injections but you can decide what is right for you.

There is nothing more legitimate than non-surgical anti-aging products formulated by real Beverly Hills doctors.

Aeolus enhances volcanic ash forecasts for aviation safety
23 May 2023
Forecasting volcanic ash in the atmosphere is crucial for aviation, as ash can interfere with aircraft navigational instruments and can even damage engine parts. A new study, using wind data from ESA’s Aeolus mission, highlights the importance of using satellite missions like Aeolus to improve volcanic ash forecasting and ensure aviation safety in the future.
Volcanic ash released at aircraft cruising altitudes poses a substantial risk to aviation. It can lead to temporary engine failure and permanent damage, unreliable readings of vital navigational instruments and reduced visibility.
Additionally, it can cause long-term economic consequences by shortening the engine's lifespan or damaging its components.
Consequently, during volcanic eruptions, airspace contaminated with ash imposes restrictions that disrupt air traffic, resulting in significant financial losses.
One of the most extreme incidents was the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 which grounded more than 100,000 flights, and this week flights were suspended at Sicily's Catania airport due to ashfall from Mount Etna.
Early warning systems can help reduce the impact on aviation by providing forecasts of how volcanic ash will spread. The performance of these forecasts depends on the accuracy of the wind information used in the models.
Currently, wind profile measurements are obtained from radiosondes, commercial aircraft ascents and descents and ground-based wind lidars and radars. The distribution of these measurements is, however, sparse, and lacks global coverage.
Launched in August 2018, ESA's Aeolus satellite uses a sensor called the Atmospheric Laser Doppler Instrument (ALADIN) to acquire wind profiles on global scale.
ALADIN can measure the speed of winds sweeping across clear skies – known as Rayleigh winds – as well as within light aerosol layers and clouds, known as Mie winds.
The mission fills vast observation gaps in wind observations, particularly over the oceans, poles, tropics, and the Southern Hemisphere, providing consistent wind profiling observations worldwide.
The new paper – led by scientists at the National Observatory of Athens – focused on the dispersion of volcanic ash from an eruption at Mount Etna, which is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
In early 2021, the volcano produced a series of paroxysmal episodes resulting in tephra and sulphate emissions with the volcanic plume drifting eastwards over the eastern Mediterranean region.
The team examined the impact of Aeolus wind profiles on an existing regional meteorological model, by comparing its performance with and without assimilation of the mission's observations.
The impact of the assimilation of Aeolus data was assessed using surface-based lidar measurements of the plume from the PANGEA observatory of the National Observatory of Athens.
It was found that the predictions of the volcanic ash plume position shifted considerably when Aeolus data were incorporated, showing that the volcanic cloud travelled much faster towards the island of Antikythera in Greece. According to the PANGEA observations, forecasts that drew on Aeolus data displayed a considerable improvement on the simulated shape and position of the ash cloud.
This result clearly demonstrates the potential of Aeolus for improving volcanic ash forecasting and hence aviation safety, highlighting the necessity of future wind profiling satellite missions such as Aeolus 2.

Tour the Ultimate Z.E.N Home virtually now!
Click Here for Virtual Tour!
EEBA is proud to announce a partnership with Pro Builder and Thrive Home Builders to bring The Ultimate Z.E.N. (Zero Energy Now) Home to this year’s High Performance Home Summit. The 2400-2600 sq ft “eco-luxury” model will be built on a 53’x80’ lot and will aim for LEED Gold certification, EPA ENERGY STAR and Indoor airPLUS and healthy home standards. The project will be completely electrified and decarbonized. This model will be used for an additional 33 homes in the development.
"We hope that this home, being a model for a community with the same base specifications, shows that homes like these do not need to be one-off demonstration homes but that they can be a successful home series delivered in a competitive marketplace," says Bill Rectanus, VP of Homebuilding Operations at Thrive Home Builders.
As a leader in the home building industry, Thrive Home Builders has been providing the Colorado single family home market with energy efficient homes for over 25 years. Year after year they have received national recognition for their dedication to building sustainably. Their Z.E.N. product line is already certified by the U.S. Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Home program.
“We are excited to partner with Pro Builder and Thrive Home Builders to bring the Ultimate Z.E.N. Home to attendees of our EEBA Summit,” says EEBA CEO, Aaron Smith. “The project will act as a beacon for sharing cutting edge net zero practices and education to high performance home builders everywhere.”
The 4-bedroom demonstration home will have a focus on health and sustainability. It will feature a HERS Score of 15 or less and utilize a battery storage system, a Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor system from Square D, advanced lighting, HVAC controls, air quality sensors, as well as Thrive’s signature “clean room” that was developed to reinforce the healthy pillar of their brand - efficient, healthy, and local. This brand pillar begins with EPA Indoor airPLUS certification and is bolstered by fully active radon systems, advanced MERV 16 air filtration, and ERV ventilation.
"These features live in our mechanical rooms and are designed to provide consistent clean healthy air to the home," says Rectanus. "Most builders do not pay attention to this area of the house as it tends to become just another storage area. At Thrive we believe this room is the lungs of the house and should be designed to show off the advanced clean air features that live there. We designed this room to be drywalled and painted with a clean sealed floor to emphasize the importance of these home features and reinforce the healthy indoor atmosphere they are designed to create."
Pro Builder will cover the project throughout construction, culminating in a feature story in December 2020. The home will debut during EEBA’s High Performance Home Summit in Denver, Colorado September 29 through October 9 and will be open for one year.
A pillar of the Ultimate Zero Energy Now (Z.E.N.) Home is Sustainability, including the building products Thrive Home Builders will use to deliver durability, resilience, and waste reduction. Here's how:
Aprilaire’s high-efficiency air filter needs to be replaced less often. The extensive filter surface also reduces stress on the furnace air handling unit, helping to extend its life and efficiency.
DuPont's Tyvek DrainWrap is impermeable to liquid water, features vertical grooves to shed water away from the wall, and vents water vapor to mitigate mold and rot.
LP SmartSide exterior siding and trim is made from fast-growing trees harvested to Sustainable Forestry Initiative standards, uses 99% of the wood fiber, and resists termites and fungal decay.
The home’s heating and cooling system is an electric heat pump from Mitsubishi with no gas backup heat to reduce the transportation and burning of fossil fuel. And, 83% of what’s used to make the unit is recyclable.
Panasonic's ventilation fan housings are made from an environmentally friendly zinc, aluminum and magnesium material using a process that limits toxic substances. The fans feature a metal flange that helps keep air and moisture from leaking into framing cavities.
Samsung Electronics America’s commitment to environmental stewardship is well documented, with product efficiency improvements mitigating an estimated 243 million tons of CO2 emissions since 2009.
Xcel Energy is committed to sustainability on a utility scale with a ten-year goal of 80% carbon-free power generation that relies more heavily on renewables, like wind and solar.

There are some clear and certain ways the war in Ukraine is affecting grain prices, like the cutoff of wheat and corn shipments from Black Sea ports, the uncertainty about spring planting in that region or fertilizer availability in coming months, and the volatile activity in futures prices when traders holding short positions get squeezed or forced out by margin calls.
Then there are some less certain ways the situation is adding to the wild bullishness, like the rumor that the European Union might consider importing GMO corn from the U.S. and South America, or whatever else might be the rumor of the day.
And, finally, there are some indirect, circuitous paths for the crisis to affect grain prices for producers in the United States. There are European natural gas prices to consider and the loss of Russian fertilizer exports to the global market; in addition — more subtly — the shipping companies that now refuse to take bookings to or from Russia, relieving some of the pressure on the global supply chain and ocean freight prices. But the big one, of course, is oil.
President Joe Biden announced Tuesday the United States will ban imports of oil or natural gas from Russia. As DTN Senior Market Analyst Troy Vincent points out, Russian oil amounted to 7.9% of total U.S. oil imports last year, and “while U.S. refiners and blenders can get by sourcing this oil from elsewhere, it will come at a higher cost. The lack of Russian crude on the global market will likely mean lower refinery utilization in Europe, which portends lower availability of refined fuels for importing to the U.S. East and West coasts.”
So, it’s not necessarily that this country (or much of the rest of the world) will have to cut back on total fuel usage; consumers will just have pay more for all types of fuel — fuel oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, and, yes, ethanol, our climate-friendly, domestically produced alternative that now gets to demand higher prices alongside everything else.
Corn and crude oil prices are linked together for a number of reasons. Both markets are denominated in U.S. dollars and both are bought and sold together as part of the overall “commodity” sector to diversify investors’ portfolios or hedge against inflation. But most of all, they are linked because they are effectively substitutes. No, you can’t eat oil, but yes, you can use corn to make your car go. When one market spikes, the other also spikes, and when one lags, the other tends to lag, too. Sometimes corn can have a unique market movement without affecting the price of fuel much or the price of crude oil at all — for instance, think of the 2012 drought, during which oil prices stayed flat — but never the other way around. Any time fuel prices rise, corn ethanol prices and corn prices themselves participate in a similar rally.
Nearby WTI crude oil futures have already traded above $130 per barrel this week. But what if there’s more of a price spike yet to come? The all-time highest price tag ever traded for the front-month crude oil futures contract was $147.27 back in the summer of 2008. In today’s dollars, that would be equivalent to $180 per barrel. Similarly, the April 1980 spike in nominal crude oil prices to $39.50 per barrel would be equivalent to $137.10 in 2022 inflation-adjusted dollars. So, U.S. consumers have already experienced what it’s like to pay for fuel when energy values are this high.
Notably, those past spikes kicked off eras of demand destruction when people balked at the prices and drastically scaled back their consumption; but those were also troubling economic times for other reasons. During the financial crisis, consumers who lost their homes probably would have scaled back on energy consumption no matter what commodity prices did. Today is different. Right now, our economy is growing and the financial sector isn’t in the middle of a crisis. The Russian oil ban and higher energy prices are a somewhat isolated variable, setting up a natural experiment that has never been tried before. Don’t shoot the messenger, but this time, consumers may be perfectly able to keep paying for fuel at never-before-seen prices for a more extended period of time. History may not be a very reliable guide.
These same questions must be asked for corn, while its chart spikes higher alongside oil: What prices are consumers able to bear? And at what price level will demand be destroyed? History has offered a few demonstrations of corn prices above $9 per bushel in 2022-equivalent, inflation-adjusted terms: the mid-2008 spike, plus a series of peaks from 2011 through 2013 — none of which boded well for the profitability of corn end users, like livestock feeders and international food and energy customers.
In some sense, it feels like the die has been cast and the energy charts, including the chart for corn, are virtually destined to keep exploring these high price levels. Then the remaining question will be, given all the upcoming challenges of drought or input availability or wider war or whatever else is coming next, when will they come back down?

El Dorado Holdings believes in developing Arizona, not just properties. That’s why we dedicate our time and resources to paving the way forward for the people of this great state.
We are committed to working for the long-term success of the Greater Phoenix area and to being an active and responsible member of the business community. We work collaboratively to find solutions for pressing regional development issues, including transportation, environmental sustainability, education and economic development.
Building a Region
When El Dorado Ranch was purchased in 1987, Maricopa and its neighboring rural areas were lacking the critical infrastructure necessary to support future master-planned communities as envisioned by El Dorado Holdings and other landholders. To lay the groundwork for growth, El Dorado Holdings spearheaded the drive to have Maricopa Road, then a two-lane county road, accepted into the state highway system.
This project included obtaining funding from federal, state and county entities as well as the passage of a $10 million district improvement bond. This undertaking also involved the cooperation of both the Gila River Indian Community and the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
As the liaison for all of these varied groups, El Dorado successfully advanced the project. Maricopa Road is now Arizona State Route 238, improved and expanded to a divided four-lane highway.
The new transportation infrastructure provided the necessary access that helped Rancho El Dorado break national sales records when it opened in 2002. With the overwhelming success of the 1,600-acre master-planned community, El Dorado developed additional communities in the Maricopa area.
These efforts led the way for Maricopa to boost its population by more than 4,000 percent since 2000, making it the fastest growing city in Arizona. The 2010 Census showed a population of 43,482 with 17,240 housing units. As the new home market begins to rebound, residential developers and homebuilders have plans for 60,000 new residential homes within the Maricopa city limits and more than 80,000 units outside of Maricopa but within its planning limits.
Now El Dorado Holdings is once again working across entities for the benefit of the northwest Valley. The final stretch of the CANAMEX Corridor, the proposed I-11 freeway, would run through Douglas Ranch. The construction of this freeway would complete the international trade route from Mexico to Canada, provide a direct link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, and open up the West Valley to commerce and residential opportunities. | <urn:uuid:bf975221-e5a4-4892-a228-1f07c0df48e5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://eldoradoholdings.net/our-arizona/ | 2024-02-23T17:26:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.938224 | 500 | 2 |
The popularity of electric automobiles as a more environmentally friendly means of transportation is raising questions about the reliability of their batteries. The battery’s performance is closely related to an electric automobile’s driving range and overall operation, making it a critical component. In this article we will explore electric car battery life span and their unique features.
Many factors, including battery quality, charging routines, and environmental temperature, impact battery life. Batteries for electric vehicles can last for years if treated properly.
Unfortunately, batteries naturally degrade over time, so eventually, you’ll have to replace your EV batteries. In this response, we’ll discuss what affects an electric car battery’s life duration and offer advice on lengthening that term.
The electric car’s battery packs are pretty resilient, with the lithium-ion being used in most modern EVs and having the capability of lasting at least 10 to 15 years or more than 150,000 miles before needing replacement. The most critical question about Electric Car batteries is how long the life span is.
EV batteries are considered to have their second life after covering 150,000 on the road.
According to Graeme Cooper’s statement, an EV battery is most likely to outlive the vehicle,” today, almost 15 years is the life expectancy of most EV batteries – and a second life beyond.”
Technological advancements are increasing at a rapid pace, so we are more likely to experience sooner rather than later the increased lifespan of EV batteries, along with turning batteries cheaper, smaller, and lighter.
You must consider some essential things before purchasing an electric car. One of the vital points, whether you have an electric vehicle or are considering buying it for the future, is how long the electric car battery lasts.
EV Battery Life Expectancy
The manufacturers make all the EV battery packs so delicately that these batteries are expected to retain their charging and discharging capacity in the 100000 to 200,000 miles range. Due to manufacturers’ confidence, most EV batteries bear an extended warranty of up to 8 years or 100,000 miles.
EVs sold worldwide include a battery warranty for up to 8 to 10 years and roughly 100,000 miles, while California extends that warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Tesla provides an eight-year warranty and 100,000 to 150,000 coverage on the road.
Several factors affect the battery’s health during the average lifespan of an EV battery lasting up to 10-20 years.
Hotter climates and charging the battery at the level 3 charging station, which can charge the battery in 30 minutes for quicker charging, affect the performance and longevity of the battery.
How Long Do Electric Vehicle Batteries Last?
While buying an electric vehicle, the primary concern of buyers is to ask the question about the battery life span. According to current projections, most EV batteries must be changed after 10 to 20 years.
However, a survey by Cox Automotive found that many potential buyers of electric vehicles are reluctant to purchase them because of worries about the cost of battery replacement and its longevity.
On average, just under half of those considering buying an electric car believe the battery will last for less than 65,000 kilometers.
The manufacturer’s warranty is the most straightforward method of determining how long a battery pack will last. Thus, the battery’s limited warranty gives a glimpse into the minimal life expectancy the manufacturer believes the average package would have.
At least an 8-year or 100,000-mile battery guarantee is included with every electric car sold worldwide today. For instance, depending on the Model, Tesla provides a 100,000-150,000-mile coverage period and an eight-year battery guarantee.
Furthermore, technological advancement has reduced battery downgradation, and you rarely need to replace the entire battery pack as if it were downgraded. Instead, you can go simply by replacing its dead cells.
Life Span and Warranty of Different EVs
People’s concern about the battery duration of electric vehicles (EVs) is not new; they worry about the question, “How long does an Electric car battery last?”
Here is the drop-down of some of the electric vehicle’s battery lifespan:
Tesla Battery Life Span and its Warranty:
Tesla is a pioneer in the electric vehicle industry, producing high-performance models with impressive ranges. Tesla’s battery packs are covered by an eight-year, 120,000-mile guarantee covering manufacturing faults and capacity reduction up to a specific point.
Tesla claims the battery will keep at least 70% of its original capacity for the warranty period (10 years).
The battery’s longevity and the expense of replacing it are thus both eliminated, allowing Tesla customers to enjoy their vehicles for a very long time. In addition, Tesla has a recycling scheme for batteries that ensures the ethical disposal and reuse of used batteries.
Tesla claims its battery packs are built to “outlast the vehicle” in terms of longevity. According to Tesla, after 200,000 miles of use, the Model S and Model X batteries only lose 10% of their total capacity. Tesla says at least 70% of battery capacity remains intact for all models throughout the warranty term.
Toyota EV battery lifespan and warranty:
Toyota has been at the forefront of the car industry for decades, and in recent years, the company has made outstanding achievements in electric vehicles. The battery packs in Toyota EVs (including the Prius Prime and the RAV4 EV) are guaranteed for eight years or 100,000 miles.
The Toyota EV battery is guaranteed to retain at least 70% of its original capacity for the duration of the warranty, and any manufacturing flaws are also covered. Toyota has not disclosed the exact lifespan of the batteries used in their electric vehicles, although these batteries have a reputation for longevity and reliability.
For eco-conscious motorists, Toyota’s electric car batteries are a good investment because they should provide reliable performance for many years with proper care and maintenance.
Kia EV battery life span and warranty
Kia’s electric vehicle battery packs are covered by a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty that includes repairs for faults in materials and workmanship and guarantees the battery will retain at least 70% of its initial capacity.
Kia uses cutting-edge battery management systems to maximize the battery life of its electric vehicles, which should last for at least ten years with regular charging and maintenance.
BMW EV battery life and warranty
There is an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on the battery packs of BMW’s EVs (including the i3 and iX3).
The battery is promised to retain at least 70% of its original capacity for the duration of the warranty, and any manufacturing flaws are also covered. With regular charging and maintenance, BMW’s e-car batteries are constructed to endure for at least ten years.
Several variables can affect how long a battery lasts, including how often it is charged, how hot it is, and how often you drive.
Hunyadi’s battery life and warranty:
Hunyadi is a newer electric vehicle market player aiming to make environmentally friendly and cost-effective vehicles. Although the company has not yet launched an electric vehicle, it has promised a six-year/100,000-mile warranty on its battery packs.
The battery is guaranteed to retain at least 70% of its original capacity for the duration of the warranty, and any manufacturing flaws are also covered.
Hunyadi has not disclosed a specific battery life expectancy for its EVs. However, like other EV manufacturers, their batteries would be affected by quality, charging routine, and environmental temperature.
Battery life for Hunyadi’s electric cars is said to be several years, with regular charging and maintenance. It makes them a viable option for cost-conscious buyers of electric vehicles.
Hunyadi provides a comparable guarantee for the Ioniq 5, whose battery span can be ten years or 100,000 miles. Hunyadi expects the battery pack in the Ioniq 5 to lose no more than 30% of its initial charge during a warranty period.
Major Factors Reducing EV Battery Lifetime
Some of the leading factors affecting the longevity and mileage of electric cars are listed below.
- Type of Battery
- High Temperature
- Vehicle Use and Care
- Overcharging or high-voltage
Type of Electric Car Battery
Electric vehicles’ battery life is mainly based on the Model and settings. The type of battery utilized can also affect how long an electric car battery lasts.
There is a specific temperature range, or optimal temperature, for EVs to perform at their best.
An electric car’s performance and battery life will suffer at temperatures outside this range. Extreme weather conditions, either heat or cold, are more likely to affect battery health and mileage.
Like the wind, the electric motor has to work more to counteract the weight of a heavier payload. It is safe to predict that the efficiency of EV batteries will decrease as you add more passengers and goods to the vehicle.
Vehicle Use and Care
The way of keeping, maintaining, and driving the vehicle affects the efficiency and performance of EV batteries. It includes when some EV owners plug in the charger on low battery, almost at 5%, and charge the battery often. It can shorten the vehicle’s battery lifespan.
The number of times a lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged is referred to as its one cycle, and its capacity degrades as the number of these cycles grows. Battery life is determined by those cycles.
Once the battery is fully charged, there’s a need to keep the battery voltage from getting excessive. That is why batteries come with a battery management system (BMS) which controls the charging voltage so the charging voltage and temperature for the battery may not exceed.
How to Preserve the Lifespan of an EV?
Here are some short steps to increase the life expectancy of an electric vehicle (EV) battery:
- Avoid letting the battery charge drop too low: It’s best to keep the battery charge level between 20% and 80% as much as possible. Try to avoid fully charging or fully discharging the battery regularly.
- Use a Level 2 charger: Level 2 charging stations provide a more stable and consistent charging current, which can help extend the battery’s life compared to using a Level 1 charger.
- Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures: High temperatures can cause the battery to degrade faster, so park the car in a shaded area or garage when possible.
- Use regenerative braking: Many EVs have systems that convert the car’s kinetic energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery. This can help reduce wear and tear on the brakes and extend the battery life.
- Avoid fast charging too often: While fast charging can be convenient, it can also stress the battery more and reduce lifespan. Try to use fast charging sparingly and only when necessary.
- Keep the battery cool: Some EVs have battery cooling systems that help regulate the battery’s temperature. If your car has this feature, make sure it’s working properly to help extend the battery’s life.
- Maintain proper tire pressure: Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce the energy the car needs to use and can also help extend the battery life.
By following these steps, you can help extend the life of your EV battery and get the most out of your vehicle.

On the back of its immense wealth of critical minerals, South Africa is witnessing a shift in its mining landscape as demand for batteries and alternative energy sources present new opportunities for economic growth. South Africa is well-positioned to leverage its enormous reserves of platinum, manganese, vanadium, nickel, copper, lithium, graphite, rhodium, and rare earth minerals – as well as a skilled workforce – to capitalize on the growing international demand for critical minerals used for clean energy development.
Manganese – a mineral with wide-ranging applications – has witnessed a surge in local production over the past decade. Spearheading South Africa’s mineral industry, the country’s manganese sector accounts for approximately 36% of global production of the critical mineral. Manganese mining contributed $2.5 billion to South Africa’s foreign exchange reserves through export earnings in 2022, while contributing to the employment of over 14,500 people.
Critical for the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries used for electrical backup systems and electric vehicles, analysts estimate a 10% surge in demand for manganese over the next decade. Additionally, in October 2023, South African energy company, Aqora, announced its plans to construct Africa’s first lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facility. The Gigafactory will give South Africa the opportunity to produce battery cells at a lower cost than the U.S. or Europe.
With resources estimated at 298 million tons, the Mokopane Vanadium mine – situated in the Limpopo Province – represents one of the world’s largest primary vanadium resources. Meanwhile, the Vametco Vanadium mine and production facility holds resources measured at 182.7 million tons and recoverable reserves estimated at 45.3 million tons. Both mines are operated by South African mining company, Bushveld Minerals, which took complete ownership of the Vemetco mine in October 2023 and announced the planned expansion of the project’s current capacity of 5,000 tons per year to 8,000 tons per year. Widely used as an alloying element in steel production, vanadium is a crucial component in the construction, transportation, and manufacturing sectors, with production in South Africa poised to increase as new mines are commissioned in the country.
While local producers explore substantial unmined copper holdings in the country’s mineral-rich Northern Cape Province, major players in South Africa vie for copper mines across the continent in a bid to become Africa’s largest producer of the metal. In October 2023, Exxaro Resources, a Johannesburg-based diversified resources company, announced its plans to acquire copper assets in Botswana, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo amidst the rising global demand for the critical mineral.
Rare Earth Elements
Recognized for its potential to play a major role in the development of a more diversified global supply chain of rare earth minerals, South Africa is home to all four permanent magnet rare earth elements, which includes neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. All four elements can be found in the country’s Limpopo Province, which has attracted keen interest from investors due to their low cost of recovery and crucial role in the green energy transition. In November 2023, an extensive due diligence process confirmed South Africa’s Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project as one of the lowest-cost producers of rare earth oxides in development. | <urn:uuid:ca69ca6b-389a-4f1d-8082-9573f27dbe6e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://energycapitalpower.com/south-africa-a-global-critical-mineral-supplier/ | 2024-02-23T16:22:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00000.warc.gz | en | 0.928216 | 718 | 2 |

FRANKFORT, Kentucky, June 10, 2021 (ENS) – Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat, has announced a Better Kentucky Plan that will help the state create 14,500 jobs to deliver clean drinking water and quality sewer systems, build better schools and expand the internet across Kentucky.
Funded by President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act, the plan’s $250 million Cleaner Water Program is the first to accept applications since Governor Beshear and Kentucky lawmakers reached a bi-partisan agreement at the close of the 2021 General Assembly to invest nearly $700 million in federal relief funds for infrastructure initiatives.
“Quality drinking water and well-maintained sewer systems are fundamental to keep Kentuckians safe and to build a better Kentucky,” said Beshear. “This funding boost will make a real difference in cities and counties across Kentucky while also creating more than 3,800 direct and indirect jobs.”
Since June 1, Water Resource coordinators representing Kentucky’s 15 Area Development Districts and Area Water Management Councils, have been submitting project profiles through the Water Resource Information System portal to indicate interest in funding from the Cleaner Water Program.
There are 713 public drinking water and wastewater utilities in Kentucky. Eligible city-owned water or sewer utilities, water commissions, as well as water and sewer districts and counties, may collaborate with a coordinator and council to submit a project.
“Normally, when we do these projects, the cost would end up on your water bill,” said Beshear. “This is a chance for us to upgrade our systems without raising costs on Kentuckians. It’s a real chance to be transformative.”
Administered by the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, KIA, $250 million has been appropriated for clean drinking water and wastewater grants to fund projects across Kentucky. Funding will be allocated in three ways:
$150 million will be allocated based on each county’s proportion of the state’s population, with the exception of Jefferson County’s share, which is discounted by 50% based on its high per capita allocation from the federal act.
$50 million is available for grants to utilities to provide drinking water services to unserved, rural customers or to utilities under a federal consent decree.
$49.9 million is available to supplement a project grant for a project with a cost in excess of a county’s allocation amount and other available grant sources. The social, economic and environmental benefits shall be considered in determining project allocations.
The application process will be ongoing throughout 2021 until all funding is committed. KIA will begin reviewing projects this summer and make awards continuously throughout the year. All grant awardees must obligate the funds by December 31, 2024.
