Reborn: Bain Wins Battle For Virgin Australia
US private equity firm Bain Capital is the new owner of Australia's second-biggest airline, Virgin Australia, after a rival bidder's shock exit.
US private equity firm Bain Capital has been confirmed as the new owner of Virgin Australia, just an hour after a major rival pulled its offer for the cash-strapped airline.
Virgin Australia's administrator Deloitte signed a deal with Bain believed to be worth more than A$1 billion, just an hour after New York hedge fund Cyrus Capital Partners quit the race, claiming it had been frozen out of negotiations.
Boston-based Bain plans to relaunch Virgin Australia as a low-cost carrier that sits between the full service offering of Qantas and its low-cost offshoot Jetstar.
Bain still needs the airline's 12,000 creditors to rubber stamp the deal at a meeting planned for late August.
Mike Murphy, Bain's managing director in Australia (pictured), said the plan was to celebrate Virgin Australia's unique culture and "protect as many jobs as possible for the short and medium term".
That means Virgin 2.0 will continue to be based in Brisbane, but it's increasingly unlikely chief executive Paul Scurrah (pictured below) will remain at the helm.
While the deal is no doubt a win for the airline's 10,000 employees (Bain has promised to honour the $450 million in outstanding entitlements owed to them), the reality is that around 3,000 could be let go in coming weeks as flights remain grounded and cost-cutting kicks in.
Its much bigger rival Qantas has already said it would axe around 6,000 jobs and undertake a $1.9 billion capital raising to try to safeguard its future.
Paul Scurrah is unlikely to stay on as chief executive
What Virgin 2.0 Will Look Like
With Qantas dominating corporate travel in Australia and Jetstar entrenched as the low-cost carrier, Virgin's new owners are expected to carve out a niche market somewhere in the middle.
It is expected to rebrand itself as the "value airline", and is rumoured to be leaning towards the budget end of the market.
The reborn Virgin Australia would primarily be focused on the busy Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane routes, using existing narrow-bodied Boeing 737s, as well as regional destinations. Domestic flights previously made up 80 per cent of Virgin's revenues.
Some short range international flights are likely to destinations like Fiji, Bali and New Zealand, but anything further afield could be years away given the state of global travel.
Velocity Frequent Flyer, with more than nine million members, is the jewel in the crown .
Virgin previously flew to Los Angeles and Hong Kong and was set to fly Brisbane-Tokyo before the coronavirus pandemic shut down travel.
Virgin's airport lounges around the country are likely to survive, but the VIP lounge known as The Club is likely to be shuttered as it moves away from the high-end business market.
The profitable Velocity Frequent Flyer business, with more than nine million members, is the jewel in the crown for Bain because it actually makes money. Velocity is expected to be aligned more closely with the core flying business through the same website.
Tigerair Australia – considered a distraction that adds costs and complexity with little or no return – is expected to be culled. Even before COVID-19, Virgin warned drastic steps were needed to make the offshoot profitable.

Deloitte lead administrator Vaughan Strawbridge said Bain's intention was to operate a "single-branded" airline, which would spell the end of Tigerair.
The Sale Process
Virgin Australia (and Tigerair) ran at a loss for seven consecutive years before collapsing in April with debts of around $6.8 billion, setting off a competitive sale process.
A list of about 20 contenders for the airline was reduced to a shortlist of just four parties, and that was narrowed down earlier this month to just Bain and Cyrus Capital.
Deloitte had been planning to name a preferred bidder for the airline next week, but brought the announcement forward after Cyrus Capital's stunning exit (June 26).
Cyrus – a founding investor alongside Sir Richard Branson in the old Virgin America – claimed it tabled an offer to buy Virgin Australia, its regional business and the Frequent Flyer business on June 22.
"Since then, the administrators have not returned calls, emails, or meaningfully engaged with Cyrus to progress its offer," Cyrus said in a statement.
An improved bid submitted on June 25 "received no response other than an acknowledgment of receipt."
Virgin Australia's original shareholders – including Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways, HNA, China's Nanshan group and Branson's Virgin Group – saw their equity all but wiped out in the administration process.
Branson is reportedly willing to inject up to $100 million for a new stake in the rebooted airline, and could reduce the annual $15 million it receives from licensing the Virgin brand until it is profitable.

Private equity and airlines. There's only one possible attraction and that's the frequent flyer business. Watch this space. It will all be rebundled for a stock market float before you know it.

I think this movie is great but I was missing Winky in it. She was quite a character in the book and I am sad she wasn't even a part of the film.
It was also funny seeing Cedric, or Robert Pattinson, pre-Twilight days. I didn't realize it was him, since it has been a while since I first saw the film in 2005.
The first part of the tournament was definitely more exciting in the movie than I expecte dit to be, and that was awesome. It was such a good part in the book, and seeing it brought to life in the movie being a dragon fan.... well, I was hooked! The chase scene with Harry was unreal!!!
I wish the ending had more to it though.Those who read the book will feel me on this one, I am sure. Still, it was a great movie to watch. Probaby my favorite for book-to-film ratio.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Betting Tips & Predictions
The prediction of Chelsea and Liverpool comes before the match of the 21st round of the Premier League. This game will be played on January 2nd, at Stamford Bridge, England. In this match overview, we bring you betting tips and accurate predictions of results based on the analysis of these two sides.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Match Preview and Team News
The European champions have been on a disastrous run recently, and Brighton's last gasp leveler at Stamford Bridge in midweek just about put the lid on it. They have collected just nine points from their previous 18, and a lengthy unavailable list was added to when Reece James and Andreas Christensen added to Thomas Tuchel's problems. The Blues has been without the likes of Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and even the return of Romelu Lukaku couldn't steer them to three points as they drew their third league game in their last four. Over their preceding six fixtures, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea has scored ten times, with that being an average number of goals scored per match equal to 1.67. Coming into this contest, Chelsea has not been beaten in the league by Liverpool in their previous two games. Hakim Ziyech plays fantastically and creates a lot of problems for the opposition's defense. Many clubs are ready to give a fortune for the arrival of this guy. N'Golo Kante is one of the best midfielders in the world, all praise for him.
Jurgen Klopp was also fuming after his side somehow failed to get anything against a patch-up Leicester City team despite dominating. It left Liverpool eight points behind champions Manchester City, and anything other than a win in West London would surely spell the end of any title challenge. The stats tell the story, and Liverpool has been scored against in 5 of their last six games, conceding eight goals in total. At the back, Liverpool has not been doing too well. That kind of pattern won't necessarily be sustained into this next game, though. Inspecting their most recent head-to-head meetings going back to 22/09/2019 tells us that Chelsea has won 2 of these & Liverpool 3, with the number of drawn games standing at 1. Naby Keita has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Sadio Mane plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Predicted Lineups
Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Ziyech, Mount, Lukaku.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Fabinho, Keita, Salah, Jota, Mane.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Betting Tips and Predictions
It is going to be a very tight clash in which both sides have the chance to take points. It won't be surprising if the game ends in a draw.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.

When PBS KIDS asked if I wanted to host a summer reading party for 25 kids, I hopped at the opportunity. As an early childhood educator, I love to promote literacy. This summer, PBS KIDS is encouraging families to learn together with its "Summer Safari" initiative. PBS KIDS' Summer Safari includes specials and new episodes from DINOSAUR TRAIN, WILD KRATTS, CURIOUS GEORGE and WORDGIRL, free digital tools for parents and kids, and partnerships with AARP Foundation Experience Corps, I Can Read books published by Harper Collins Children's Books, Reading Is Fundamental and National PTA that bring learning activities directly to communities.
To get our party started, we set out all the supplies: Harper Collins I Can Read Books, PBS Kids activity packets/fun books, Wild Kratts bookmarks, reading charts and certificates. Since the theme was "Summer Safari," we decided on using animal print decorations. I also love how these PBS Kids summer fun books are easy to stick my purse and provide educational activities and entertainment that we can use in waiting rooms, restaurants, or anytime we're on the go this summer.
My family has long been fans of the Harper Collins I Can Read Books, specifically geared towards young readers. There are hundreds of titles with classic stories like Little Bear or the Josefina Story Quilt, beloved characters such as the Berenstain Bears, Amelia Bedelia, Pinkalicious, Splat the Cat and even books based on kids' favorite films. There are also many high interest "I Can Read Books" for children, like my rising third grader, who are already proficient and independent readers. We paired each child with a book to match his/her age and interest level. The children were so excited about the new books that many of them started to read them before they even went home!
At our party, we paired promoting reading with outdoor summer fun, and the kids had a blast with outdoor water play, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. Of course there was food too. Check out these adorable Summer Safari animal print cookies by my local favorite J&J Bakeshop.
July Summer Safari Activity Book and August Summer Safari Activity Book: We love these books because they are filled with open-ended activities featuring favorite PBS Kids characters. Whether your child is drawing stick people or writing paragraphs, the activities are easily adaptable to many levels.
My Reading Journal: Kids can track their progress and chart titles of books they read.
Activity Booklet: Includes How to Host an I Can Readathon, coloring, connect the dots, calendar reading log, and more.
Certificate: A colorful certificate to print and sign after reading every day for the I Can Readathon!
PBS Parents BookFinder: I did not even know this existed! Parents can search by theme, grade level and reading ability and get dozens of wonderful book suggestions. I already used this tool and found a bunch of new books (and some ones that I forgot existed) to check out of the library next week.
Reading is Fundamental 2015 Multicultural Book List: This is a great list of multicultural books for grades K-5.
Special thanks to PBS Kids for providing the promotional materials and a Target gift card to get party supplies (food, drinks, and papergoods) for this party. Also a big thank you to Harper Collins for gifting 25 new "I Can Read Books" to send home with each child. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own. I am a PBS Kids VIP Ambassador.

Cooper signs bill letting craft brewers distribute more of their own beer
Gov. Roy Cooper signs House Bill 363, Craft Beer Modernization Act, joined by lawmakers, brewers, and lobbyists, May 30 at Raleigh Brewing Co. (CJ photo by John Trump)
John Trump
It was only appropriate.
Gov. Roy Cooper on Thursday, May 30, signed into law House Bill 363, the Craft Beer Distribution and Modernization Act, the result of a compromise among mid-sized craft brewers and the N.C. Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association.
"It's with a little trepidation that I sign a bill behind a bar," Gov. Roy Cooper joked before signing the measure, an important legislative move allowing the state's craft brewers to grow and prosper.
Cooper, with his back to the taps at Raleigh Brewing Co., was surrounded by a group of smiling brewers, legislators, and distributors as he signed the measure.
"We all know the beer industry is important to N.C.'s economy," Cooper said. "We know it represents thousands of jobs for our state and tens of millions of dollars in investment."
That new law maintains the current three-tier system — producers, wholesalers, and retailers — and adds a new, mid-level classification of brewers to state law. Brewers, under the proposal, could self-distribute 50,000 barrels of their products, as opposed to the current 25,000. The legislation also gives growing brewers more flexibility in choosing where and how to distribute their beers around the state.
Breweries that exceed 50,000 would not lose the ability to self-distribute, although the new law would affect only those breweries that sell fewer than 100,000 barrels of beer per year. Now, if a brewer sells 25,001 barrels per year, by state law, every barrel produced — including the first — must go through a third-party wholesaler/distributor.
The measure passed the N.C. Senate in a 38-3 vote May 20. The measure passed the N.C. House in April, 104-8.
In a joint statement after the Senate passage, Tim Kent, executive director of the N.C. Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association, and Suzie Ford, a founder of NoDa Brewing Co. in Charlotte, says H.B. 363 is a collective win for all parties involved.
"The overwhelming majority support of the passage of the Craft Beer Distribution & Modernization Act is an important step forward for the beer industry adding to existing opportunities for brewers in North Carolina," the statement says. "H.B. 363 provides greatly-expanded legislative support for the state's beer franchise law and the three-tier system. As North Carolina's breweries continue to grow, we welcome today's regulatory achievement."

The Siege of Zadar also known as the Blockade of Zadar (Italian language: Zara ) (at the time known as Siege of Zara) was a military event that took place during the Adriatic Campaign as part of the Napoleonic Wars between 22 November to 5 December 1813.[3] An Anglo-Austrian force under overall command of George Cadogan in HMS Havannah blockaded and bombarded Zadar which was held by a French garrison and within two weeks the place surrendered.[1]
The Treaty of Schönbrunn with the Austrian Empire in 1809 had solidified French influence in the Adriatic by formalising their control of the Illyrian Provinces on the Eastern shore.[4] After the Battle of Vis (Ital.:Lissa) in March 1811 however, the Royal Navy had achieved dominance over the French in the Adriatic Sea.[5] Austria declared war on France in August 1813 and working in conjunction with the Austrian armies now invading the Illyrian Provinces and Northern Italy, Rear Admiral Thomas Fremantle's ships were able to rapidly transport British and Austrian troops from one point to another, forcing the surrender of the strategic ports.[6]
In November 1813, HMS Havannah was attached to Thomas Fremantles squadron that had successfully blockaded and besieged Trieste. She was then detached to take the port of Zadar with the assistance of Weazel. Zadar was a regular fortification with 110 pieces of brass cannon, seven mortars and eleven mounted howitzers manned by a garrison of 2,000 troops, nearly half of them Croatian commanded by an experienced French general, Baron Roize.[1]
General Franjo Ksaver Tomašić, Croat in the Habsburg Army service
When the Anglo-Austrian troops arrived on 22nd November they found that the fortress was well supplied and ready to stand a long siege, so Cadogan determined to blockade and to eventually attack the place.[7] Cadogan intended to use the ships' guns to establish batteries on the shore with British seaman and Royal Marines to make up the force to arm them. They were to combine with the land blockading Austrian force which numbered 1,500 men (many of them were Croats) under Baron Franjo Ksaver Tomašić who had contributed two howitzers.[2] Lieutenant William Hamley with a force of sixty men were given the job of setting up batteries. Assisting him were two lieutenants and a master's mates of Havannah. With two 32-pounder carronades, eight eighteen pounder guns and seven long twelve pounder guns, together with all the necessary powder and ammunition, were landed from Havannah and Weazel. They dragged them on sledges across swamps and ditches at night, a distance of about three miles before establishment. The Union Jack was hoisted on each of three batteries on 23 November and they started a bombardment in almost incessant rain.[1]
Twelve gunboats, each carrying a long 24-pounder and one smaller gun were moored under the walls. The French fire from these inflicted some damage on the British and Austrian defences at first and sandbags were continually needed to fill the few entrenchments. On December 1st one long 18-pounder and the carronades were redirected to deal with the French gunboats and, after an hour and a half, not one remained afloat.[1]
In the garrison a mutiny broke out amongst the Croat battalions in Roize's force. This was put down by Roize but instead they escaped the fortress and gave themselves up to the Austrians and British troops waiting outside. This number constituted nearly two thirds of Rosie's garrison leaving just 800 men left.[2]
On 6 December, after thirteen days and nights of bombardment in when the batteries had only one round of shot left, Roize sent out a flag of truce and capitulated.
Cadogan and general Tomašić laid out the terms to Roize; the French would be allowed to return to Italy but not to engage in combat unless they were exchanged. Once the surrender terms were agreed the French marched out and the British and Austrians entered Zadar.[2]
In all, the British and Austrians had captured 110 guns and 18 howitzers, 350 men as well as 100 dismounted guns and twelve salvageable gunboats.[8] As they were about to leave for Trieste Cadogan was later instructed to hand over all prizes and spoils of war to the Austrians. (This order cost the crews of Havannah and Weazel an estimated £300,000 in prize money.) The Emperor of Austria, Francis II however, awarded Lieutenant William Hamley the Imperial Austrian Order of Leopold for his services at Zadar.[9]
Soon after, one by one most towns in the Illyrian Provinces fell to Anglo-Austrian forces. Cattaro fell the same month and in January 1814 Ragussa fell. By the end of March 1814 all towns and cities had surrendered to the British or the allied rebels that had risen in revolt, leaving the Adriatic in complete allied control with the exception of Corfu. Zadar was restored to the Habsburg Monarchy of the Austrian Empire by the Congress of Vienna.

What makes Windward Life Care different from other companies?
Windward Life Care uses an integrated model of care, where a professional Aging Life Care Manager (geriatric care manager) supervises and works closely with Home Care Aides. The Windward team develops a customized care plan that evolves with the client's situation, and all team members are in regular communication as client needs change. Our goal is to improve overall quality of life by helping clients to not only live comfortably, but to thrive while aging. Also, in case of an emergency, the Care Manager can lead the team in advocating for the client's interests. Windward has an interdisciplinary team of Care Managers who bring years of experience to their work and observe the code of ethics and standards of practice of the Aging Life Care Association™.
Why the name "Windward Life Care"?
According to an old sailing adage, "While you can do little about the direction of the wind, you can adjust your sails to take best advantage of the wind that exists." In other words, the "windward" sails are set to take the best advantage of the current situation. This is how we approach the care of our clients, emphasizing their strengths and enabling them to chart their course toward a vital and fulfilling future.
What is the process for getting started with services?
We offer a free phone consultation to review your, your loved one's, and your family's needs. Once you determine that you want to proceed, an assessment meeting with an Aging Life Care Manager is set to create a personalized plan of care. This may involve ongoing care management only or the addition of home care services. The client and family review the proposed plan and costs to determine the services they wish to authorize. The Care Manager then becomes the family's main point of contact for updates and progress on the plan.
An Aging Life Care Manager, Geriatric Care Manager, or Aging Life Care Professional™ is someone with expertise in older and/or disabled adults and specialized knowledge of the health care and long-term care systems. Care Managers are hired by older adults, families, or professionals to provide consultation, guidance, and support. With backgrounds in nursing, social work, dementia care, elder advocacy, and counseling, our Care Managers are skilled in meeting the needs of clients, aging parents, or loved ones, matching them with the necessary resources. Our Aging Life Care Managers are members of the Aging Life Care Association, the association that certifies this profession, ensuring proper training and expertise of its members.
What type of care do I need?
We offer a range of services to suit every client's needs, from initial aging-well consulting and planning to around-the-clock, in-home care. An Aging Life Care Manager meets with new clients to assess their goals and needs and develop a Plan of Care tailored to each client's situation. Our Life Skills Trainer can help clients achieve greater independence in handling everyday tasks and communications, getting to appointments, and finding resources and activities in the community. The services of a Home Care Aide would be advised for clients who need regular assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and grooming, as well as other tasks such as cooking, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and social engagement.
What kind of caregiver situations do you work with?
In addition to having our own Home Care Aide employees, we collaborate with family caregivers, private duty caregivers, and caregivers from other agencies.
What does "aging well" mean?
At Windward Life Care, aging well means living life on your terms, given the natural challenges of aging. It means supporting your choices in how and where you live, and helping you have as much quality of life and longevity as possible. It also means being proactive about your health and mental health so you can continue to enjoy the activities that inspire you. We work with our clients in six key areas of aging well to accomplish these goals.
An Aging Life Care Manager is available to you by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the event of a health or mental health crisis. During regular business hours, you can call your Care Manager's cell phone or the main office number: (619) 450-4300. After hours and on weekends and holidays, you can reach the On-Call Care Manager at (858) 692-3535. We do not have an off-site or remote call center. Our On-Call Care Manager is a master's level social worker and Windward employee who can accompany clients to the emergency department or address other emergent situations quickly and efficiently.
Is Windward Life Care licensed and bonded?
Our clients' well-being is our utmost priority. We take several steps to ensure the safety and security of our clients and their property. Beginning in 2016, the State of California requires that all home care companies be licensed, and Windward Life Care is licensed with the Home Care Service Bureau. We are also certified members of the California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH), the state association whose certification includes additional criteria for hiring and employing professional caregivers. We hold general and professional liability insurance and bond insurance, and our Aging Life Care Managers make regular home visits to monitor the activity in our clients' homes. These are only a few ways that we ensure quality and safety and provide our clients the assurance that they are working with experienced professionals.
What steps does Windward Life Care take to prevent elder abuse or neglect?
We take precautions in our hiring process to screen out employees who have criminal histories. All our staff are mandated reporters of elder abuse and neglect under California law and receive regular training to identify and report any form of elder abuse. We specialize in elder advocacy and partner with our clients, their families, and involved professionals to ensure client safety.
What if care management is more than I need right now, is there some other way to get started?
For those clients who need just need some "standby" assurance right now, we offer our Passport to Wellness Program. Your annual membership fee allows you to establish a relationship with an Aging Life Care Manager on our team who will be ready and available to assist you in the event of a crisis. Among the benefits of membership is a printed Health Dossier – a folio of important information on maintaining wellness, as well as a personalized collection of the important information that your legal decision-makers would need in order to assist you in an emergency. Membership in the Passport Program is for 12 months.

Following the opening of Acne Studios' first store in Beijing, the Swedish label co-founded by Jonny Johansson in 1996 is changing its capital structure. After consulting with Goldman Sachs International, the brand has said goodbye to three of its shareholders, investment funds Öresund, Creades and Pan Capital. The trio has been replaced by two new shareholders: American investment fund IDG Capital and Hong Kong-based apparel conglomerate I.T Group. The two entities now control 41% of the company's capital between them, 30.1% being held by IDG and the remaining 10.9% by I.T. Acne's executive chairman Mikael Schiller and creative director Jonny Johansson remain the company's majority shareholders.
Prior to the changes, Öresund held 8.5% of Acne Studios' capital and has sold its shares for 369 million Swedish kronor, or 36 million euros. Creades controlled 8.6% of the company and sold its shares for 372 million Swedish kronor (36.4 million euros). Although details concerning Pan Capital's transaction have not been released, Acne Studios confirmed in a press release that Mikael Schiller and Jonny Johansson have also reduced the number of their shares.
I.T Group, which has been working with Acne Studios for fifteen years, having notably assisted with the brand's expansion in Asia, controls an impressive distribution network consisting of 800 branded stores around the world, 700 of which are in China and Hong Kong. The company has also participated in joint ventures with brands such as Zadig & Voltaire in Hong Kong and Macau, and with Galeries Lafayette in China, and holds shares in a wide range of labels including A Bathing Ape, AAPE, Fingercroxx and Venilla Suite.
Founded in 1992, IDG Capital specialises in investments in technology, media and telecommunications, and already holds shares in Farfetch, Moncler and Baidu.
"It's the dream scenario for us. Jonny and I are excited to join forces with new partners that we know well and who will bring further expertise to allow us to continue our adventure. [...] By working together, we will make Acne Studios even more successful," said Mikael Schiller.
The brand, which is hoping to kick-start a new phase in its growth with the help of its two new shareholders, reports annual revenues of 200 million euros and operates approximately 30 stores around the world, as well as some 20 department store concessions. In 2018, the company welcomed Edouard Schneider as its new global communications director and head of its French division. Acne Studios will present its next womenswear runway show on 20 January during Paris' Haute Couture Week.

Renewable energy mini-grids: an alternative approach to energy access in southern Africa
This SEI discussion brief examines the potential for mini-grids to complement grid-based electrification in southern Africa, and the conditions needed to support their successful development.
Johnson, O., and C. Muhoza (2016). Renewable energy mini-grids: An alternative approach to energy access in southern Africa. SEI discussion brief.
Energy : Energy access Renewables
Climate : Climate services
Southern Africa faces a number of severe energy pressures. Power production falls far short of demand, grid development has been slow, and the electricity sector depends heavily on fossil fuels and hydropower, which makes it vulnerable to oil price volatility and the effects of climate change. There is an urgent need to diversify the generation mix by tapping into the region's vast renewable energy potential.
Achieving a larger, diverse, secure and low-carbon energy sector requires a variety of solutions. Along with continued development of national grids, decentralized options such as mini-grids are needed, particularly in areas where grid extension is not technically or financially feasible.
This discussion brief highlights the energy pressures faced by member states within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and explores how renewable energy mini-grids might provide an alternative and additional energy solution to relieve these pressures. The brief is based on a desk study comprising a review of recent research and policy documents on mini-grids in the SADC region.
Mini-grids are still mostly in the pilot phase in most countries, and their contribution to southern Africa's electricity mix remains minimal. Existing mini-grid solutions vary widely depending on size, location relative to the grid, technology, ownership and operation models.
Scaling up the use of mini-grids is a major challenge, as countries have yet to find sustainable business models. Barriers to wider deployment include the relatively small size of the off-grid market, the low incomes of end-users in rural areas, low electricity tariffs that are unattractive to the private sector, lack of supportive policy and regulatory frameworks, and limited access to affordable longer-term finance.
There is no single solution to these challenges. Instead, mini-grid systems must be tailored to the local social, economic and cultural context, as otherwise they may not be fit for purpose. A supportive policy and regulatory environment is also crucial.

Pastor/musician inspired by 2020 Vision Team Guiding Statement
Tracy Keenan uses her gifts to put words to music
Rick Jones | Office of the General Assembly - October 30, 2019
Members of the 2020 Vision Team met recently with Tracy Keenan, who wrote a song based off the team's Guiding Statement. (Left to Right) Tracy Keenan, Jerrod Lowry, Debbie Foster, Salvador Gavalda, Sabrina Slater and Aisha Brooks-Lytle. Photo by Rick Jones.
Music has always been a part of Tracy Keenan's life. The retired Presbyterian pastor was a music major in college and even after seminary, continued to create new music.
"I've always been a musician. I did it professionally in the world and as I became a pastor, I would write music for church," she said. "I would play and sing even as I was pastor."
Keenan's ministry would take her to Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio, before moving into mid council work in Delaware. But that didn't keep her from her love of music.
"I have written and put together a wide variety of music, working with a lot of really talented people ranging from church choirs to jazz trios to string quartets," she said. "There have been many kinds of music and all of it was inspired by worship and the word. It's not always worship music, but it's music that has been inspired."
A 2020 Vision Team member approached Keenan about using her skills and creativity to bring the Guiding Statement to life. She says some songs "roll out fairly easily" while others start out with a basic inspiration and then take a lot of messaging and experimentation to see what they will blossom into.
"What I had first were the words from the acronym: prayer, courage, unity, service and alive," she said. "So, I was literally out walking and mulling these words around in my mind and came up with what will be the first and last verses."
The 2020 Vision Team was created by the 222nd General Assembly (2016) to develop the Guiding Statement and plan for its implementation. Last February, the team met in Louisville to finalize the statement and begin sharing it with the greater church.

Team members traveled to many church gatherings this year, such as Youth Triennium and Big Tent, to share the statement, "God Calls the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to Be Prayerful, Courageous, United, Serving, Alive." The first letter of each word spells out the PC(USA) acronym and under each word is an explanation of what it means.
"When I was first asked to explore this, I was making a move from central Ohio to Delaware and was staying in a bed and breakfast," said Keenan. "The first two months, it was just what was rolling around in my mind, with the occasional use of a church piano. I finally did get my piano when my husband joined me here."
Keenan says the most inspirational part of putting words to music came from the Guiding Statement itself.
"I was a pastor for 30 years and now I'm in New Castle Presbytery as the missional presbyter. I visit a lot of churches. My job is to help congregations and there's a lot of talk about whether churches are dying. Sometimes talk is from churches themselves and all around us we hear words about dying or dying churches," she said. "This guiding statement says they're alive and that is far more than just breathing and existing. Alive is stretching, growing, changing, and participating in the world around it."
Keenan says she takes hope in the statement as she visits churches across the presbytery.
"First of all, the statement under the prayerful category is talking about being anchored in grace. I love that it comes first," she said. "It's that sense of we are forgiven and free that makes everything else possible. I love that as a starting place."
Keenan says she is also moved by the word "courage" in the statement.
"The world is changing so quickly, and the church provides that unchanging anchor and at the same time it needs to change in order to respond to this world. So, it takes a lot of courage because of the unknown," she said. "I read where the church is always in transition. A lot of us are secretly waiting for it to calm down again but I don't think that's going to happen."
Keenan says the "pot has been stirred" in the church, but it's not a bad thing.
"It takes a lot of courage to stir the pot and we are stirred," said Keenan. "I really do see that as being the message to the church: This is hard, uncomfortable, and messy — but that's OK, that's part of the reforming that we are participating in."
Members of the 2020 Vision Team recently got to spend some time with Keenan at the Mid Council Leaders Gathering in Baltimore and got to hear the song from Keenan herself.
"It was beautiful. It was exciting to literally hear how the Guiding Statement took form in a new way, in a song, and in something that no member of the team could create," said the Rev. Sabrina Slater, Vision 2020 Co-Moderator. "It was encouraging to be able to ask Keenan about her process and how the song came to life. It was an utter gift and blessing, an encouragement to the 2020 Vision Team as we continue our work."

Competition for an internship is quite high. And, the rules for getting your resume noticed have changed considerably. The key to getting a clear shot at a coveted internship is to stand out in the crowd of resumes and applications. First, it is important to remember the rules of marketing. You've got to focus on creating a product that the consumer desires, encouraging the reader to pay just a bit more attention to your marketing package or your resume.
Surprisingly, a large number of applicants seeking an internship are losing out because they are not taking a serious look at their resume, they fail to update their resume, or they do not have a resume. Remember, the resume, cover-letter, and application is your marketing package to the recruiter. It should provide the necessary information that demonstrates that you are the right person for the internship. Certainly, well-crafted resume without grammatical errors will open the door to an interview. Check your resume over carefully with spell-check and your own eyes several times before submitting.
Recent graduates and college students might assume that they do not have the experience required to seal the internship deal. Think again. Any relevant experience will get you one step closer to that internship. Don't dismiss a part-time job that you held during the summer or after school. Even your volunteer experience with an organization might work in your favor. For example, if you are pressing for an internship with a fashion magazine, impress the reader with your experience writing a fashion blog, publishing your own newsletter, or writing for a college newspaper. These jobs definitely provided valuable experience.
It's surprising, the number of people that delay applying for internships. The fact is that a growing number of organizations and business institutions actively seek qualified interns all throughout the year. This is good news for those that were worried about the high competition that erupts for those summer internships at some leading organizations. Here is an idea. Select several organizations that are actively recruiting interns through the year to increase the odds that you will get selected.
Perhaps, you've sent out your glowing cover letter and resume that highlights all your wonderful skills, training, education, and accomplishments. The recruiter has contacted you for an interview. Mission accomplished. Well, not so fast. Now, it's time to brush up on your interview skills to seal the deal. Clearly, it's vital to make a good first impression with the recruiter. Dress appropriately for the interview. Always arrive on time for the interview. Take note of your body language too. For example, make eye contact with the recruiter, offer a firm handshake, try to appear comfortable and relaxed during the entire interview session.
Remember, the interviewer will probably have all your information in front of them. Summarize the highlights of your information. Let the interviewer lead the interview. Don't try to take control and look too desperate. Listen to the interviewer and make sure that you understand the questions, before providing an answer. Try to look confident and maintain a pleasant smile throughout the interview. End the interview with a firm handshake.
Later on, send a thank you note to the interviewer to confirm your interest in the internship with the company. Following the tips in this piece should lead you to accomplish your goals and landing that dream internship with a great company.

On a good day when we've done something kind for the world, we can only hope we have a little something in common with her, aside from our shared love of Elton John and blue eyeliner. Today, Lush Cosmetics confirmed an additional similarity: Princess Diana was also a fan of the natural brand, so much so, that the Gorgeous Moisturizer ($74.85; au.lush.com) was created specifically for her. Though we can't say we've ever had a beauty product named after us, we actually have a jar of the stuff sitting on our bathroom counter.

'Las Abuelas del Pescao', a book that recovers the recipes and memories of the women of Varadero and Santa Adela-Motril
Leave a Comment / By ffwcx / January 9, 2023 January 9, 2023
"The Grandmothers of Pescao"is a project carried out by the Association of the Fishing Sector of Granadino 4.0, promoted thanks to the Local Action Group for Fisheries (GALP) Costa de Granada, and which has the support of the European Fund for Maritime Affairs and the fisheries of the European Union and the Andalusian Council through the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, which was born with the idea of promote the culture and economy of the Coast from a hitherto invisible perspective, that of women.
Publication which was presented this Monday morning in the kitchens of the Motril Hospitality School – Training 080with the presence of the Mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro, the Provincial Deputy, Mª Carmen Fernández, the President of the Granadino Fishing Sector 4.0 Association, Javier Domínguez, as well as representatives of the Community of Municipalities of the Costa Tropical, councilors Motril Town Hall and the main protagonists of this book.
It's a project that focuses on a part of the story that is usually heard by mothers and grandmothers and not normally found in books. "What is not named does not exist", and it is precisely for this reason that they wanted to make this part of Motrilian culture tangible with "Las Abuelas del Pescao", compiling a series of life experiences of women from the neighborhoods of Varadero and Santa Adela de Motril. A trip to the past of families who have kept alive the essence of marine areas, sometimes with many deficiencies or hungers.
"The testimony of a life told in the first person and which emphasizes the protagonists, a way of looking back and not forgetting a part of our being", as the President of the Association of the Fishing Sector of Granada 4.0, Javier Domínguezwho commented that "it enhances one of the most traditional tourist attractions in Motril through the cuisine of catering establishments with the longest fishing tradition that bring the product from the Motril fish market, with a series of recipes where the ingredient The essential , how could it be otherwise, are the fish or the shellfish themselves All this is done by the women of the most historic establishments, those who, being in the background, make everything works".
A book that intends to change the narrative and go beyond the literary concept of grandmother, recognizing the value of work associated with education, sacrifice and the abandonment of personal projects for a life dedicated to others, which , in many cases, goes unnoticed before our eyes.
thirty-eight women that in various meetings held both in the neighborhood associations of these neighborhoods and in the host school of Motril- 080 Formation, they compiled a extensive book of recipes typical of the coast of Granada where the main product is fish and shellfish from the region, the protagonists themselves reviewed.
For its part, the Mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro, considered it necessary to feel "proud of the publication of this authentic delicacy" by collecting the experiences of women from the neighborhoods of Varadero and Santa Adela, in addition to compiling "those exquisite recipes that must pass on to posterity". Moreover, thanked the involvement of the women involved in the project, "we must defend what is ours, our products".
The city manager pointed out that "we live in a wonderful corner of Spain, where we have the best products and the freshest fish to be consumed regularly in any establishment in the region". "This book, in addition to showing the delights of Motril, is a recognition to all the women who are involved in the fishing sector and who work in silence".
During the presentation ceremony, other contributors to the publication also took the floor, such as María Dolores Almendros, from the Katena restaurant, and María del Carmen Terrón, from the Hermanos Terrón fishmonger, representing the women involved in the book.
The President of the Port Authority, José García Fuentes, praised this publication which "summarizes many experiences of women from the port districts of Varadero and Santa Adela around fish". For García Fuentes, "this project is a reflection of the work that our mothers did, in very difficult times and circumstances, and which is reflected in this book for future generations".
The Harbor President thanked the "support" and the "sensitivity" of the administrations and the professionals who collaborated in its preparation.
the book was carried out by a multidisciplinary team made up of people from Motril –Javier Domínguez (Granada 4.0 Fisheries Association), Angélica Jódar (pedagogue) and Alba Feixas (journalist), with the help of Manolo Barreras (photographer) and Juan Domínguez (marketing and communication internship)-.
It's not just a book of recipes or anecdotes, it's part of the memory, experiences and testimonies of a group of women who have played a decisive role in the fishing sector of the Tropical Coast of Granada, although historically they have been invisible.

How do you calculate the value of a compensation claim for nerve damage to the lips by a dentist?
Assuming that liability for your claim for a lip injury due to dental negligence is acknowledged and that the damage to the nerves in your lip can be substantiated by your medical records, the value of a compensation claim for nerve damage for lips by a dentist is calculated with reference to four primary considerations.
The first would be the pain and discomfort you have suffered due to your dentist´s lack of care. This is unlikely to be a significant consideration, because the nerve damage you sustained is likely to have eliminated any sensation of pain from the affected area, and you may only experience a minimal tingling from time to time. Your solicitor would ask an independent medical expert to review your doctor´s prognosis and give you a further medical examination to assess the level of physical injury you have sustained.
The second consideration in a claim for a lip injury due to dental negligence would be how your injury has affected your quality of life. Whereas nerve damage to the lips by a dentist may have little or no consequence if you lead a predominantly domestic lifestyle, the visual impression of a drooping or dribbling lip may inhibit you from participating in leisure pursuits and social activities. It is suggested that you maintain a diary to make a note of all the times your nerve injury prevents you from leading your 'habitual' life.
The visual effect of nerve damage to the lips by a dentist can also result in a psychological trauma if you lose your confidence to be seen in public or develop depression or an anxiety disorder due to your condition. If you intended to claim compensation for nerve damage due to a dentists error in this respect, the emotional injury you have experienced would need to be confirmed by a psychologist.
Finally, you are also entitled to recover any quantifiable expenses you have incurred in a claim for a lip injury due to dental negligence. This may account for a substantial proportion of compensation for nerve damage due to a dentists error if you are a model whose facial looks are vital to your profession or a musician who uses your lips to play an instrument. Any loss of earnings you are including in your legal action has to be supported by previous payslips or invoices.
Not all of these considerations will necessarily be applicable in every compensation claim for nerve damage to the lips by a dentist, and there may indeed be more factors to take into account depending on your personal situation. It is recommended that, in order to calculate the value of your compensation claim, you speak with a solicitor at the earliest practical moment to undergo a preliminary assessment of your claim for a lip injury due to dental negligence and have the solicitor explain to you the procedures for successfully claiming compensation for nerve damage due to a dentists error which are relevant to your individual circumstances.

Q: Spark SQL (Databricks) - AnalysisException: cannot evaluate expression outer() in inline table definition - Multicolumn aggregate I am migrating to (Azure) Databricks 6.2 (includes Apache Spark 2.4.4, Scala 2.11) from some real relational Databases. I only use Spark SQL for it.
Because MIN is an aggregate function, and getting the MIN of multiple values (columns not rows) is cumbersome I used the VALUES Row Constructor to create inline Sub-queries and used the MIN aggregate function over this sub-query to produce simple statements.
the VALUE ROW constructor works fine
select min(MinLatency) from (VALUES(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8)) MINL(MinLatency)

like for this query (Side question, why cannot I write min(MINL.MinLatency) - but this is not an issue)
Also as subquery it works
select
  Latency,
  (select sum(C1) from (VALUES(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8)) Y(C1)) as C
from
  (VALUES(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8)) as X(Latency)

But doing a real Query like (simplified with constants only for this example)
select
  T1.ID,
  --min of 4 Values
  T1.C1, T2.C2, T3.C3, T4.C4,
  --(select min(Value) from (VALUES(1),(2),(3),(4)) TI(Value)) as MIN
  (select min(Value) from (VALUES(T1.C1),(T2.C2),(T3.C3),(T4.C4)) TI(Value)) as MIN
from
  (select 1 as ID, 1 as C1 union all select 2 as ID, 1 as C1) T1
  inner join (select 1 as ID, 2 as C2 union all select 2 as ID, 2 as C2) T2 on T1.ID=T2.ID
  inner join (select 1 as ID, 3 as C3 union all select 2 as ID, 3 as C3) T3 on T1.ID=T3.ID
  inner join (select 1 as ID, 4 as C4 union all select 2 as ID, 4 as C4) T4 on T1.ID=T4.ID

Databricks / Spark returns the Error
Error in SQL statement: AnalysisException: cannot evaluate expression outer() in inline table definition; line 6 pos 34
If you try it with the constants it works.
The Questions are really,

*

*what do I do wrong?

*is it really not supported? why?

*how do I do multi column MIN as simple as this in Spark SQL? (like min does ignoring NULL values)

Help is appreciated
Thanks

A: Assuming the values are never NULL, the simplest solution is LEAST():
select T1.ID,
       --min of 4 Values
       T1.C1, T2.C2, T3.C3, T4.C4,
       least(T1.C1, T2.C2, T3.C3, T4.C4)
. . .

You can also do this using a lateral view.  A simplified example would be:
select t1.id, min(c)
from t1 lateral view
     explode(array(c1, c2, c3, c4)) c
group by t1.id;

Whether you're looking to start a new fitness habit or get back to the gym, London is full of great places to work out, break a sweat or do some gentle exercise. And just because it might hurt a bit after a session, it doesn't mean it has to hurt your bank balance. There are plenty of low-cost ways to stay fit, and some are completely free. Whatever your budget or preference or fitness level, here's our guide to free and cheap fitness in London.
Gyms with Cheap and Flexible Membership
One of the best value ways to work out and attend classes is by signing up for gym membership. But, while the commercial gyms cost around £40.00 and premium memberships from £80.00 per month, there are plenty of lower-cost and no contract gym memberships.
These types of gyms won't necessarily offer premium amenities or options like saunas or personal training sessions, but if you're just looking for a regular place to train or take a class or two, there are lots of options in the £15.00–£30.00 a month price range.
For maximum flexibility or to check out a couple of places before deciding, you can grab day passes or no-contract membership to Pure Gym, Easy Gym, The Gym Group and Fitness For Less. As with the larger chains, there are gyms at various locations across London. So it's easy to access gym facilities near work as well as home.
If you have a flexible schedule, it might be worth getting an off peak membership, which will save you even more money. Off peak usually applied to weekdays between 9-5, but check with your gym for terms. Gyms usually charge a joining fee, regardless of contract type, which tends to be around £10.00–£20.00

Free or Donation Based Fitness Classes and Groups
If training at the gym isn't your thing, there are plenty of friendly, low-pressure ways to exercise at your own pace. Doing exercise with other people is also a sociable and low-cost way to stay fit. There are plenty of community groups and events to get you started. If you're into group exercise and fancy volunteering, you can combine both with GoodGym. GoodGym is an independent group of runners (and now walkers and cyclists) who do tasks for community groups and older people. It's free to join, but the suggested donation is £7.00 per month, although there is no commitment
Another community-focussed organisation offering free fitness is Our Parks, which was founded in 2014 by fitness coach Born Barikor. It's based in boroughs across London to provide free exercise classes in local parts for all abilities. You can try anything from high-impact classes like Bootcamp and Box Fit to more gentle activities like Rise & Shine Yoga. Our Parks runs all year round (weather permitting), with some activities offered online too.
You can also join other runners at weekly 5k Park Run events, or join free or donation based community Yoga classes at spaces including North London Buddhist Centre.
Running Tracks and Outdoor Gyms
If you prefer to train solo or don't want to commit to a glass or running schedule, no problem. There are running tracks and outdoor gyms available to use for free all over London. They have been installed in parks across London by companies like The Great Outdoor Gym Company.
In north London, Finsbury Park has something for everyone. The massive park has an outdoor gym, 400 metre running track and there is also a tennis court. Head to Primrose Hill to workout on the callisthenics equipment, then run up the hill for one of the best views in London. There is also an outdoor gym at Roundwood Park in Willesden, north west London.
Over in west London, there is an outdoor gym in the beautiful surroundings of Holland Park, where you'll also find tennis courts, cricket pitches and of course, plenty of walking paths. Elsewhere in west London, you'll also find outdoor gym equipment in Paddington Recreation Ground, which is actually in Maida Vale, just north of Paddington.
For outdoor fitness in south London, head to Clapham Common, for some hardcore training on its calisthenics equipment. Nearby Kennington Park also has calisthenics equipment, including high bars and parallel bars.
And east London is home to Queen Elizabeth Park, aka the Olympic Park. As well as the world-class indoor facilities and a massive stadium, the park is also home to a decent sized outdoor gym, as well as a 400 metre community running track.
Swimming Pools, Lidos and Open Water Swimming
Most local boroughs have a leisure centre with a pool, and a lot of them are run by Better. If you're a regular swimmer, then it might be better value to sign up for a pay and play membership to get money off your sessions.
But, there are some great pools in central London that you can swim at for under a tenner as a drop-in swimmer, including the art deco Marshall Street Leisure in Soho and Spa and the Oasis Centre rooftop lido in Holborn, which is heated.

Cold Water Swimming in London
And if you're brave enough to do cold-water or wild swimming, well good luck to you! You can take a chilly dip for a small fee in various places including: Tooting Bec Lido, Hampstead Swimming Ponds, Parliament Hill Lido and the West Reservoir in Stoke Newington.
Walking Groups and Tours
If you prefer something altogether more gentle and relaxed, then there's no shortage of great walking trails in London. But if you don't fancy going it alone, you can join a walking group or or guided walking tour. There are lots of groups listed on walking charity The Ramblers website including Metropolitan Walkers for people in their 20s and 30s.
And there are regular free or pay-what-you-feel tours run by companies like Strawberry Tours and Free Tours By Foot. Themes range from London landmarks to street art, film locations and even haunted pubs.

David Beckham might have equalled Bobby Moore's record for an England outfield player in Seville but Fabio Capello believes the milestone comes tinged with disappointment after the 2-0 defeat in Spain.
Beckham's introduction as a half-time replacement for Stewart Downing allowed him to move level with Moore on 108 caps. He is set to eclipse that mark in the friendly against Slovakia next month. But Capello does not feel it was a night for celebration even though he learned some valuable lessons.
"I think he will be disappointed that he got the record but we lost," said Capello.
He continued: "I would have been more happy if we had won but I am happy for him."
Although he made a positive contribution, Beckham also picked up a yellow card for dissent after Glen Johnson had been penalised for a foul.
The 33-year-old continued his protests, although he at least managed to avoid further punishment. Beckham's frustration was easy enough to understand. Although they played well in patches, England were beaten by a better side.
"Spain play with the same style and the same players that won Euro 2008," reflected Capello.
"They play very naturally because they know each other so well. It is almost as though they are playing from memory.
"They wait when they have got possession and they punish you as soon as you make a mistake.
"Without doubt they are one of the teams who could win the World Cup."
