Top 10 First Basemen in Major League Baseball history
Playing & Coaching
Best of Baseball
by Scott Kendrick
In Major League baseball the person covering first base has generally been someone who is a powerful hitter, with just a couple of exceptions. The greatest first basemen is also a collection of the greatest hitters in history, with eight of the 10 in the Hall of Fame, and the other two almost certain to be in Cooperstown at some point. Here they are:
New York Yankees (1923-39)
The "Iron Horse" played in a then-record 2,130 consecutive games (since eclipsed by Cal Ripken Jr.), but that's only a small part of Gehrig's greatness. Gehrig batted behind Babe Ruth through most of his career and hit .340 with 493 home runs. He had 13 consecutive seasons with 100 runs and 100 RBI, averaging 139 runs and 148 RBI. He hit 23 career grand slams and his Yankees won six World Series titles.
Jimmie Foxx

Philadelphia A's (1925-35), Boston Red Sox (1936-42), Chicago Cubs (1942, 1944), Philadelphia Phillies (1945)
Foxx was overshadowed by Gehrig through most of his career, but only Babe Ruth hit more homers in the first half of the 20th century. He had more than 100 RBI for 13 consecutive seasons from 1929-1941 and had a career slugging percentage of .609 (fifth all-time). He won the Triple Crown in 1933 (.356, 48 home runs, 163 RBI). He also won the MVP award three times. He won the World Series twice while with the A's.

Baltimore Orioles (1977-88, 1996), Los Angeles Dodgers (1989-91, 1997), New York Mets (1992-93), Cleveland Indians (1994-96), Anaheim Angels (1997)
A consistent force, he's one of just three players to have more than 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays are the other two. A switch-hitter, he drove in at least 75 runs for a record 20 consecutive seasons. He also played more games at first base than anybody in history. A three-time Gold Glove winner, he won one World Series with the Orioles (1983) and advanced to two others (1979 and 1995 with Indians).

While Pujols is still building his Hall of Fame-worthy resume, he already deserves to be on this list and will likely climb higher. Pujols has three NL MVP awards as of 2010, and has never finished out of the top 10 in the voting in his 10 big-league seasons. His career batting average entering 2017 is .309, with 591 home runs and 1,817 RBI. His Cardinals team won the 2006 World Series.

Detroit Tigers (1930, 1933-41, 1945-46), Pittsburgh Pirates (1947)
A two-time AL MVP, he hit 331 home runs and batted .313 in 13 seasons of a career cut short by service in the U.S. Army Air Forces. He hit 58 homers in 1938, two short of Babe Ruth's record at the time. He won two World Series.

Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins (1954-74), Kansas City Royals (1975)
At age 31, he had more home runs (380) than Babe Ruth had at that age, but injuries slowed that pace. Still, "Killer" hit 573 homers, drove in 1,584 and was AL MVP in 1969, when he batted .276 with 49 homers and a career-best 140 RBI. An 11-time All-Star, he hit more than 40 homers in a season eight times and led the AL in homers six times.
George Sisler

St. Louis Browns (1915-27), Washington Senators (1928), Boston Braves (1928-30)
The greatest player in the history of the St. Louis Browns came up as a pitcher but, like Babe Ruth, he was too good as a hitter to stay out of the everyday lineup. He was a graceful and complete first baseman and had a .340 lifetime batting average. He had six seasons with more than 200 hits, 2,812 hits in his 15-year career. His 257 hits in 1920 was the best single-season mark until it was surpassed by Ichiro Suzuki 84 years later. While he hit just 102 homers, he had 164 triples and 425 doubles. He was the MVP in 1922 when he batted .420. Also had 375 stolen bases.

San Francisco Giants (1959-73, 1977-80), San Diego Padres (1974-76), Oakland A's (1976)
One of the great power hitters of the second half of the 20th century, McCovey hit 521 homers and drove in 1,555 RBI in his career. He was MVP in in 1969, when he hit .320 with 36 homers, one of three seasons in which he led the NL in homers. He also is the only player in history to hit two home runs in one inning twice.
Rod Carew of the California Angels runs after a hit in a 1986 game. Allsport
Minnesota Twins (1967-1978), California Angels (1979-1985)
Carew did everything well, even though he didn't hit for power. He also would belong on the list of greatest second basemen, but actually played more games at first base (1,184) than at second (1,130). Carew won seven AL batting titles, hit .328 lifetime, and hit better .300 in 15 consecutive seasons (1969-83). Only Ty Cobb, Stan Musial and Honus Wagner exceeded that achievement. He was AL Rookie of the Year in 1967 and MVP in 1977, when he hit .388. He also had 348 career stolen bases.
Jim Thome bats in a 1998 game for the Cleveland Indians. David Seelig/Allsport
Cleveland Indians (1991-2002), Philadelphia Phillies (2003-05), Chicago White Sox (2006-09), Los Angeles Dodgers (2009), Minnesota Twins (2010-)
Thome, who started his career at third base and moved to first in the late 1990s with Cleveland, enters 2011 with a great shot at becoming the only player on this list with 600 career home runs. He has 589 HR and 1,624 RBI entering 2011 and a career .278 average. He also has 17 postseason home runs.
Next six: Pete Rose, Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell, Johnny Mize, Tony Perez, Dan Brouthers
Tainted legacies: Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro
Best of the Negro Leagues: Buck Leonard, Buck O'Neil, Ben Taylor

If you're a keen windsurfer, you might be looking for the perfect destination in which to indulge your passion for the sport. If this is the case, turn your attention to an activity holiday in Vassiliki Bay, Greece.
Situated on the shore of Lefkada – one of the Greek Islands – Vassiliki Bay is regarded as one of the top spots for windsurfing in Europe, so it's certainly a spot worth visiting during a water sports getaway. Families, couples and groups of friends all flock to the location to experience the great conditions, as well as soak up the sun on the beach and witness some authentic Greek culture.
You can book special getaways that allow you to do as much windsurfing as you like and also take into consideration your accommodation, which is often close to the beach for convenience. Your hotel will offer all the mod-cons you could need for your trip, from a private pool and lovely gardens to Wi-Fi access and satellite TV, so you know you'll be well catered for during your time on land. On the beach, meanwhile, you'll often find onsite bars serving food and drink all day, so you won't have to worry about sustenance in between your bouts on the water.
Of course, you'll probably want to climb atop a board as soon as your windsurfing holiday begins, but before you do so you'll need to make sure you have all the right kit. This shouldn't be difficult as use of special gear is likely to be free as part of your break. In terms of boards, meanwhile, you'll have more than 100 to choose from!
Once you're ready, it's time to take to the waves. No matter what your ability level is, you'll find the waters of Vassiliki Bay ideal, as the wind changes during the day making the conditions suitable for various skills. The consistent thermal wind, which is called Eric, is both predictable and dependable, so you can be certain of some great windsurfing. Beginners are best making use of their boards in the morning, while more experienced surfers can practise their freestyle skills at this time in preparation for the stronger winds later in the day.
After lunch, the winds pick up and can be anywhere between force four and force seven, meaning exhilarating conditions for intermediate and advanced windsurfers. Because the wind is so reliable, you should find your skills advance at a rapid rate, and this can be even more the case if you take some free tuition during your getaway.
Royal Yachting Associated accredited trainers are on hand to provide lessons no matter what your skill level, and these are usually covered in the cost of your break. Surfers are split into groups depending on their level of skill and provided with tuition for 2.5 hours, five days a week. Even visitors as young as six are welcome to take part, so you could find this useful if you're on a family activity holiday. The intensive tuition can help you develop your skills and build confidence, with many people able to stand upright on their boards by day two!
As well as windsurfing, other activities you can try your hand at during your getaway include kayaking and paddle boating, both of which may be free. Vassiliki Bay is also well known as one of Europe's best dinghy sailing locations, and if you fancy giving this a try, you'll find experts offering training in this pastime, too.

Trapito is the Argentinian term for an extortionist who runs a protection racket in which they ostensibly guard parked cars, while actually vandalizing or stealing the cars of those who refuse to pay.

Description
Trapitos ask for a substantial "tip" for guarding cars that motorists park on the street. The name trapito comes from the Spanish word for a small piece of cloth or rag, which the trapitos use for identification. If a driver refuses to pay the trapito will vandalize or steal the car. The amount of money is arbitrarily set by the trapito, not by the person who parks the car. The charge starts around $40 and can rise to $250 in locations near popular nightspots, attractions or events.

The NGO "Defendamos Buenos Aires" estimates that there are nearly 1,000 trapitos in Buenos Aires. Their activities are linked to the barra brava groups of football fans.

Regulation
Article 79 of the Argentine Contraventional Code allows the request of tips, unless it involves extortion. This provision makes the law unenforceable, as it is almost impossible to prove a threat was made. Police would have to witness the trapito at the moment of the extortion, and the legal system must have proof of such extortion. There were 3,191 complaints in 2013, but 95% were dismissed for lack of evidence, and none went to trial. As the trapitos do not work in private parking lots their activity contravenes the rules for public spaces, for which only the state has rights to set limits on or charge for its usage.

In the legislature of Buenos Aires, the Republican Proposal (PRO, aligned with mayor Mauricio Macri) and the Front for Victory (FPV, aligned with president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) have opposing views on the issue. The PRO wants to ban the activity completely, but has been unable to secure the votes needed to enact the proposed bill. The FPV wants instead to regulate cuidacoches (car guards) and proposed a law for this purpose, which was vetoed by Macri.

Is This Your Season To Rebuild?
As an avid Cats supporter, this weekend has a lot at stake for me as I ponder the possibility of another Grand Final win in 2011. But for Chris Scott in his first year as senior coach at Geelong, he has done well to guide his team to the point of being serious Finals contenders. He fully understands that beating last year's wooden spoon recipients this weekend will be no push over.
For many Eagles fans the club had become the laughing stock of the football public at the end of last season and they were resigned to sitting out season 2011 as their club went through a rebuilding period.
At the start of the draft pick week in October last year, Eagles GM – Football Operations, Neil Daniher said "Our strategy is to build a team capable of challenging for a premiership in the mid to long term and we're not going to compromise that position by trading away our early picks. Those three picks in the top 30 are pure gold. We believe our strategy of building from beneath is the way to go".
I reflected on Daniher's comments when reviewing the Eagles win/loss record this year. They won their first two games and then went on to notch up 17 wins out of 24 games. Wasn't this meant to be their rebuilding season?
To see West Coast now playing for a spot in the 2011 Grand Final is a great outcome for a mid to long term strategy. I then thought about how many companies, who are also going through their own rebuilding season, could learn something from the Eagles.
So, I wondered: What does it take to succeed in a rebuilding season?
1. Talent. To rebuild anything, you must first have the talent to do so. Whether the talent is you or someone else, you must recognise the opportunity for improvement and act on it. Your business is not going to simply rebuild itself, it's going to take people, talented people. Your job is to identify who the talent is and build upon that.
2. Belief. The number one indicator for success lies with your internal belief system. Do you believe you are going to win the game? Do you believe you are going to get the job? Do you believe you are going to exceed your sales quota? Do you believe you are going to lead your team to victory? Do you truly, deep down, gut-checked, know with all your heart, believe you can rebuild or rebound? If you don't believe, why even waste your time. Not believing only leads to losses. Some may be small, some may be big, but over time not believing in yourself and your abilities will only create disappointing failure. Take the time to list out WHY you believe you can accomplish whatever your goal is. Do it now! Please. Reflecting on the "why" will help solidify your belief.
3. Seasoned Coach. (John Worsfeld – senior coach for ten years) A coach is instrumental in the success of rebuilding anything. Having a mentor or leader that can effectively teach and coach, motivate and inspire, demonstrate and set the example for the team, sets the tone and amplifies each persons individual talent and belief. The coach is the nucleus of success. This is the person who creates the game plan and calls the plays. A coach's job is to showcase the talent, make decisions for the team, make mid-game adjustments, and do whatever it takes to win. Who is your coach?
4. Backup. This is probably the most overlooked piece of the puzzle. In football, you have several strings of backups, but in business, very rarely do you have a back up for each person. Think about it, or more specifically, think of someone in your office who does something instrumental to the company's success; do they have a back up? Do you have a back up plan for when someone gets hurt (sick, laid-off, quits, goes on maternity leave)? Back-up your people, your talent, your team, your coach, and your hard drive so you can keep the momentum going.
The Eagles didn't win a right to the 2011 Finals because of dumb luck. They won because they had genuine talent, they believed that they could, they had an experienced coach leading them, and a back-up plan in place.
The season to rebuild is NOW. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, right now.
Are you the talent? The coach? Or the backup?
Identify the role you plan to play this rebuilding season and partner that with your belief, so that you can win.


2nd Prize Winner: "Self-Esteem: Breaking the Status Quo," by Paula Cruz, Bellevue, Wash.
Cruz, 18, Bellevue, Wash., says what you see in her winning PSA is what she sees everyday—friends putting themselves down, criticizing every flaw. Self-loathing has become the norm and Paula wants to do her part to get people to change their attitudes to positive ones and see the real beauty in each of them. With help from her video editing instructor at the local Boys & Girls Club, Paula created her PSA in the hope that her message will help others struggling with eating disorders and negative body image.


I have been on several sailing holidays in Coatia where we have chartered yachts and enjoyed sailing around the islands. We are thinking of a change of scenery and wanted to know peoples views on Greece and a destination.
Is it all very touristy or is plenty of it still unspoilt?
Have any of you been before and can you tell me what it is like?
Thanks in advance for any relevent info.
I went with SailingHolidays to the Ionian last year & I wouldn't describe it as touristy at all - with the possible exception of Vassiliki. Small harbours (one where the 'shop' was a glass fronted fridge outside the bar / restaurant ), mainly cheap food & beer. Highly recommended.
Lovely area. Try to avoid August as the Italians swarm over to the Ionian in their motor cruisers usually complete with Mama whose main job appears to be washing down the decks and hoovering the inside!
The Ionian region is affected by the strong northern winds in July and August. Therefore, instead of looking at those sides, I would also like to refer to Dodecanese for Greece.
You can also rent a gulet in Croatia for July and August.
Turkey would be great choice for blue voyage holiday between May and October. You can swim in May because the sea water temperature will be 20 degrees on average..
If you want to avoid seeing too many other yachts then I can personally recommed the Cyclades - By that I'm not talking about Mykonos / Santorini, but the north Cyclades. We spent a nice week sailing around just Kithos, Serifos and Siros and Kea. We admittedly didn't go far each day, but we still ended up in a different tavernas each night, with plenty in in sheltered bays and small marinas (that are cheap). You also get the pleasure of the astounding Kithnos Sand Bar to take pictures of and make all your friends back home extremeley jealous.
In Croatia, for peace and quiet head to the Kornati (accessible from Biograd na Moru / Zadar area) - Split and Dubrovnik can tend to get a little overheated wth day trips and other sail tourists, but in the Kornati you can literally go for a full day without seeing anyone else.
Me and my girlfriend have been sailing in Croatia last year and Greece this year.
we started in marina Gouvia Corfu and have been sailing for 14 days to Kefalonia. Water is clean, the weather is nice and warm / depends on the season of course. Culture and the food is great.
We have visited Sivota (really recommend visit smaller beaches).
I record visiting Preveza, small and cosy city we loved really much.
Lefkas is another island to visit, and you don't need to go to marina. ps. marinas are much cheeper than Croatia / 20eur per night in Preveza for example.
great and nice islands, culture is great. But my nationality is Slovenian so maybe Iam a bit more familiar with this culture.
Have been there many times but still I prefer Greece. Maybe because the prices are lower. But watch out for the charters seasons. Sailinghollidays.com etc. Coasts and Islands are full of charters. this is something I am not so familiar with in Croatia.
We've done both .. and Turkey.
I found the sailing in Croatia (amongst the Kornati Islands) fantastic but was a bit peed with the infrastructure (expensive marinas, tavernas that charged mooring even when you'd bought a meal for a family of five) - plus we used to go in May and it was a bit chilly still.
Turkey is similar to Greece (though windier still and more so as summer presses on), North out of Bodrum is a bit dull and the Gulf of Gukova just South of Bodrum isn't too exciting either - though it is quiet. We had most fun sailing south to Knidos and then along to Datca and Orhaniye. Round the tip of the next isthmus to Loryma was nice and I'd like to carry on to Fethiye and Marmaris one day.
Got to do them all, but Turkey was my favourite over all.

Rihanna Is All Smiles In Full Leather Outfit For Date Night With A$AP Rocky
The 'Needed Me' singer and her boyfriend both seemed in good spirits, as they stepped out for a romantic evening.

Nothing better than date night in New York City! Rihanna, 33, and A$AP Rocky, 33, looked so in love with each other, when they went out for date night out to Carbone on Wednesday January 19. The Anti singer rocked an all-black look, and she seemed so happy to be out with her beau, as she had a huge smile across her face. The Carbone dinner date was only the pair's latest evening out on the town together.

While walking the streets, Rihanna rocked a sexy pair of black leather pants with matching boots and a matching jacket. While the Savage X Fenty founder sported an all-leather look, Rocky was dressed in a more casual look. He sported an olive green hoodie along with a flannel and jeans. He also looked like he was carrying his own leather jacket, so maybe the rapper matched with Rihanna later on.

The musical pair have had plenty of romantic evenings out together, after returning to the States from Rihanna's home country of Barbados, where the pair rang in the New Year. The pair bundled up for a snowy dinner together on Sunday January 16. Luckily the cold couldn't bother Rihanna, as she stunned in a beautiful pair of Louis Vuitton boots, while she walked the city streets for the evening.
Earlier in January, the rapper and R&B icon spent lots of time in Los Angeles, where they had plenty of romantic outings, where the pair seemed completely smitten with each other. Not to mention how many great outfits both of the musicians looked. Some highlights included Rihanna sporting a luxurious puffer vest, while Rocky wore a colorful denim jacket, along with a white and yellow balaclava. On another occasion, the pair were a little more casual, as Rihanna sported gray sweats and a hoodie, while they bundled up for a cozy evening together.


BEIS has commissioned an evaluation of the Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP), which aims to increase the number of heat networks built, deliver carbon savings and build capacity in heat network supply chains. The scheme will be delivered in two phases - a pilot running to summer 2017, and a main scheme launching in 2017/18 - offering some combination of grants, loans, equity investment and guarantees to local authorities, public bodies, private and third sector organisations.
Heat networks commonly convey hot water from a heat source to meet distributed demand for space and/or water heating and provide an opportunity for greater energy efficiency and carbon savings. Heat networks infrastructure is fuel neutral and can deliver heat from a range of sources, such as waste heat recovery, combined heat-and-power plants, and large heat pumps. The economics of heat networks are largely determined by the initial capital cost, which is influenced by, for example, heat density and demand, street works, sites for auxiliary plant and suitable sites for heat source availability. There are approximately 2000 heat networks of various sizes operating in the UK, often in locations with a high demand density, such as urban areas and university campuses. Meeting two per cent of the country's heating needs, their geographical coverage is limited. High capital costs mean their economic viability is typically dependent on guaranteed demand underpinned by long-term contracts.
The UK's emissions derive mostly from fossil fuel combustion, with heating accounting for 46 per cent of total energy use. Three quarters of this is consumed as heat in buildings, 75 per cent of which are residential. These emissions must be reduced or eliminated if we are to meet our carbon targets, as laid out in the Climate Change Act (2008). The Act requires the UK to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent on 1990 levels by 2050. The Act also established the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), which in its Fifth Carbon Budget lays out a 2032 scenario in which low-carbon heat (a policy priority) meets 13 per cent of household demand and half of business demand.
In Next Step for UK Heat Policy, the CCC counted funding for heat networks amongst its 'low-regret' measures, noting that effective deployment of current capital funding is sufficient to meet 2020 ambitions and that it 'should be used to develop the policies for delivering a continued expansion through the fourth and fifth carbon budget periods'. Recent examination of the system-wide implications of decarbonisation has highlighted the long lead times for network infrastructure and drawn attention to the need for clear plans at a local level for the potential use of heat pumps and district heating.
iv) economic evaluation of the whole project.
The research will be undertaken by a consortium overseen by Helen Wilkinson and Michelle Boath of Risk Solutions, including the Tavistock Institute, London Economics and Policy Studies Institute (PSI).

We're not all in this together. Messages about social distancing need the right cultural fit
Author: Geetanjali Saluja
Source: The Conversation
Geetanjali Saluja, University of Technology Sydney
Governments everywhere face the challenge of getting people to stay home so they can limit the spread of coronavirus. In order to make their messages more effective, governments must ensure these appeals resonate with the cultural values of their audience.
Not all Australians have taken Prime Minister Scott Morrison's pleas for them to stay at home and practice social distancing seriously.
We have seen people head to the beach with their friends, or host BBQs in their backyards.
One explanation for this might be mixed messages coming from government. But our research explored another explanation: when appeals don't tally closely with our cultural values, we are less inclined to listen.
Read more: We've known about pandemic health messaging since 1918. So when it comes to coronavirus, what has Australia learnt?
Individual freedoms
Australians, along with US and UK citizens, tend to fit within what is known as an individualist culture. This is one that values independence, individual freedom and the pursuit of personal goals more than social relationships.
In contrast, the collectivist cultures in countries like China and Japan value interdependence and social relationships more than individual freedoms and goals. This framework for cross-cultural communication was developed by Geert Hofstede, an academic and researcher for IBM.
A government appeal asking people to practice social distancing because it will protect everyone in the community may work very well in collectivist cultures, but may not be as effective in individualist cultures. This might explain those Australians ignoring the message that "we're all in this together".
We tested this effect recently by showing two types of appeals to an online panel of 200 American study participants recruited via Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform. Both appeals requested citizens to stay home and practice social distancing to contain the COVID-19 crisis. But one asked them to do this in order to protect and preserve the freedom of the public. And the other focused on doing this in order to keep their community safe.
The responses showed that participants were more willing to comply with the appeal that asked them to practice social distancing to preserve their long-term personal freedom rather than an appeal which focused on keeping their community safe.
Australians, like Americans, tend to be individualists. So the results of our study extend to Australians, who would also place greater value on their personal freedoms and individual goals.
Coronavirus messages from authority figures may resonate differently in China or Japan versus Australia. The Climate Reality Project/Unsplash, CC BY
Power may not persuade
Another aspect of culture that can impact effectiveness of communication is deference to authority, also known as power distance. Power distance describes how much the less powerful members of a community or organisation accept that power is distributed unequally. Typically, Western cultures are low in their power distance belief and tend to emphasise equal distribution of power. This is not the case for Asian cultures, which are high in power distance and thus have greater respect for authority and hierarchy.
As a result of this difference, a message from an authority figure is expected to be more impactful in a country such as Japan. But this is less likely in a country like Australia, where deference to authority is lower. Message source (such as Prime Minister Scott Morrison's blunt directive to stop panic buying) is unlikely to be a critical factor to its success in this context.
Data from several studies shows that individuals from high power distance cultures (those who accept authority) find marketing messages from CEOs to be more believable and authentic compared to regular brand messages. Such differences are not noted in consumers from low power distance cultures.
In Australia, a one-size-fits-all approach is also not appropriate. Indigenous Australian's have been recognised as at higher risk of coronavirus infection and complications. Yet they present unique challenges for health communication given differences in language, historical relationship to authority, and nonverbal communication styles. Specific strategies for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples and other cultural groups are needed.
Tailor the message
Culture plays a critical role in effective communication. Message content that takes into account the cultural values of its audience should be more effective compared to one that does not.
In the current situation, appeals need to remind the public to take the lockdown measures seriously so the spread of COVID-19 can be contained but also so people can get back their freedoms and return to their Australian way of life sooner rather than later. And this message need not necessarily come from the top.

Profile: Innovation Power are one of the oldest event power distribution companies, starting in 1980, in recent years we have invested heavily in LED lighting including replacing 20km of festoon with LED. Our transport system is highly efficient with our Artic trailers converting into sleeping accommodation once emptied.
Rental Fleet: We use a national network of reputable smaller local suppliers and larger national companies, where possible we use the nearest suppler to the job to keep transport down to an absolute minimum.
Managing Generator Base Loads: Depending on what you are powering, our first step would be to check you were using the correct sized generator for the job, if you have a generator which will run at low load during build and then a much higher load as the event starts look at using a smaller generator and then moving a lager generator in later, if generator loads fluctuate over a 24 hour period the use of a synchronised load demand system or by bringing in a HPG for smaller systems.
Monitoring, recording & recommendations: We can monitor generator performance during the build & break phases of an event and we also can do sample readings at various times of the day. We can offer real-time power consumption for limited supplies. We are happy to share data with our clients and make recommendations for year on year performance improvement on fuel consumption and generator running hours. We always advise our clients on efficiency and keep them up to date with the the latest technologies for reducing emissions.
Innovation Power have invested heavily in LED lighting, their transport system is highly efficient. They monitor and record generator performance and offer recommendations for performance improvement year on year.

Advancing the Careers of Women to "Better the Balance"
By Morrison Hershfield|March 25, 2019
What do we need to do to "Better the Balance"? On International Women's Day (IWD), WTS Toronto chapter hosted a panel of three influential women, who together with a group of about 80 likeminded individuals, tackled this year's IWD theme of "Better the Balance, Better the World."
Our Chief Operating Officer, Catherine Karakatsanis, was one of the panelists, and was honoured to share her experience on navigating a career in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
It's a Win-Win for Developing Clean, Renewable Energy in the North
There are many challenges to developing energy in the North. Remote working conditions and capacity challenges of any project can add additional fees to the budget. Harsh weather conditions with shorter construction periods make timelines and schedules critical to the success of the project. Geography and long winters make hydropower sites more challenging to develop in some parts of Canada.

What Netanyahu and Israel Owe American Jews
Home / Israel / What Netanyahu and Israel Owe American Jews
by Mark Feinberg February 15, 2017 in Israel, Latest
By Mark Feinberg
Most eyes will be on how President Donald Trump threads the needle during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit on Wednesday. How can Trump advance the Holy Grail of a peace agreement—requiring pressure on Israel to pause West Bank settlement expansion—while distancing himself from Obama policies and showing himself a "true" friend of Israel?
My eyes, however, will be on Netanyahu.
Netanyahu leads the only Jewish nation in the last 2000 years, created to be a refuge for Jews after the Holocaust. As such, Netanyahu has a responsibility to confront anti-Semitism worldwide. And that includes an increasingly vocal anti-Semitism in the U.S.
Netanyahu's situation is tricky. The U.S. has been Israel's biggest supporter, providing vetoes in the United Nations, high levels of military and security cooperation, and the largest foreign aid package in the world—$3-4 billion per year, (agreed to for a decade by the supposedly anti-Israel Obama administration). And Netanyahu will not want to risk undermining the overwhelming support for Israel that Trump has demonstrated so far.
But the moral imperative for Netanyahu is clear. Trump, his family and his advisors have at best ignored increasingly virulent anti-Semitism and racism during the campaign and after the election. At worst, they have encouraged it.
The most egregious and blatant instance of Trumpland anti-Semitism was Trump's last campaign ad: The narration consisted of a conspiracy-theory rant about international elites plotting against the common people that repeated age-old anti-Semitic tropes. After showing a picture of Hillary Clinton (she partners "with these people who don't have your good in mind"), pictures of three prominent Jews associated with high finance accompanied the rant: liberal George Soros, the Fed's Janet Yellen and Goldman Sach's Lloyd Blankfein. Released in the very last days before the election, there was little time for the horror of this to sink in among the public. The nature and timing of the ad would seem to be a joint product of two of Trump's top campaign strategists and grudge-holders: Roger Ailes, Nixon's ad man and then Fox News chief who was humiliated and fired due to multiple sexual harassment allegations, and Steve Bannon, loser in a high-stakes Goldman Sachs executive power-struggle that led to his resignation.
More broadly, Trump consistently refused to acknowledge—or even stand up to—the widespread anti-Semitism and racism that cranked up during and after the campaign. Bannon, his central strategist, claimed the mantle of leadership of the alt-right as the editor of Breitbart—and many of the alt-right agreed. Large swaths of Breitbart readers and alt-right folks are white supremacists, including Klu Klux Klan and Nazi supporters. Neither Trump nor Bannon have made serious efforts to separate themselves from these deplorables; in fact, this may be Trump's core base.
During the campaign, anti-Semites began using a symbol on social media (triple parentheses) to identify and target journalists of Jewish descent. A tidal wave of anti-Semitic social media messages, phone calls and threats poured in: The Anti-Defamation League counted over 19,000 anti-Semitic tweets alone to over 900 journalists, with 83 percent of them targeting just 10 writers. Many of the tweets came from overlapping groups of Trump, white nationalist and alt-right supporters. Melania Trump, when asked about the way that hordes of anti-Semites had been harassing a reporter after she had posted a complaint about the reporter's story, said that the reporter had "provoked" it. Trump himself said of that particular problem, "I don't have a message to the fans…There is nothing more dishonest than the media."
How tweets and images from white supremacists and Nazis got funneled into Trump's Twitter feed is anyone's guess. His famous Clinton attack-tweet that recycled an anti-Semitic image complete with Jewish star and dollar bills is hard to forget. And Trump's guiding "America First" slogan itself has historically anti-Semitic overtones. During the campaign, ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt asked Trump to drop the theme but was ignored.
Campaign ads, slogans and social media attacks began to have real-world consequences after Trump's surprise win. Racists felt emboldened, and hate crimes (the majority of which have been against Jews in recent years) soared across the country. Swastikas appeared on school lockers. Strangers screamed threats to Latino women on the street. And in the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, DC, white supremacists responded to an anti-Semitic speech by alt-right leader Richard Spencer with cheers and Nazi salutes.
When asked about the rise in hate incidents since the election in a 60 Minutes interview, Trump pretended to be surprised. When it was explained, he did not seem particularly upset and had to be urged more than once to use the televised interview as an opportunity to address the haters: Finally, he could only manage two words: "Stop it," he said mildly to the perpetrators of hate crimes. (Compare that to the passionate "Lock her up" chants Trump led for months, or the two minutes of jeering he encouraged rally-goers to spew at working journalists.
Trump came to realize that he couldn't challenge the racism and anti-Semitism in his base. He tried to pivot in the general election and flirted with Latino political leaders, hinting he would soften his stance on deportation to attract more Latino votes. But when Sarah Palin and others criticized that pivot, Trump backed down. He learned that, once incited, racists cannot be easily pacified.
Trump's defenders have almost always focused on personal anti-Semitism: The ace-in-the-hole is that his daughter Ivanka converted and married the observant Jew Jared Kushner. Kushner went so far as to leverage his family's Holocaust history to personally defend Trump as a lover of Jews in a column he wrote in his own New York Observer. (Strangely, though, Trump and defenders do not often mention that his son Eric married a Jewish woman; it may be that acknowledging too many Jews in the family would be bad politics.)
One of the strange things about Trump's success is his ability to align otherwise antagonistic bedfellows. The real question is not whether Trump is personally anti-Semitic, but how Kushner and other Jews can sit in the same room as Trump's Breitbart and other facilitators of hate and anti-Semitism. Why did Jewish family members allow Trump to use America First as his governing theme? Why didn't they insist he do the right thing and apologize for anti-Semitic and Nazi sourced social media posts, or apologize for omitting Jews from the Holocaust statement? The answer provides keen insight into Netanyahu's dilemma.
Start with the fact that Kushner and Ivanka went to visit the grave of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe the night before the election, apparently to pray to the last great rabbi for help in next day's election. The highest goal of the Rebbe, and of most Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, is to hasten the coming of the (Jewish) Messiah, one element of which entails moving to the Promised Land.
Not surprisingly, then, more politically conservative and more religiously observant Jews tend to be single-issue voters, focusing on which candidate is the strongest (and uncritical) supporter of Israeli policies. Whether it is in Israel or the U.S., they are relatively comfortable with walls, separation and insular communities. In contrast, more liberal and less-observant Jews typically care about full and permanent integration into American life, and are generally more critical of right-wing Israeli policies towards Palestinians. They view pluralism and tolerance as critical features of a democratic state, whether here or in Israel.
A large majority of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews did vote for Trump, and a similar majority of less observant and more secular Jews voted for Clinton. Although there are supporters of each side at each end of the religious spectrum, it seems that the religious center, like the American middle class, is eroding. This is where Netanyahu needs to step in.
Just as Israel has relied on American Jews for support, we need to rely on a strong Israel for support in the face of anti-Semitism. Israel should not simply be a refuge for persecuted Jews, but a leader promoting tolerance and acceptance of Jews—and all others—around the world. When anti-Semitism climbed in France, Netanyahu famously told French Jews to move to Israel. That is not the answer for us.
Will Netanyahu demand that Trump speak out forcefully for tolerance and respect for Jews wherever they live? Will he demand Trump not only welcome Jews into his family, but welcome the founding Judeo-Christian values of respect and love of the neighbor and stranger back into our politics? Or will Netanyahu come to stroke Trump's ego, see what more he can he can extract (war with Iran, perhaps?), and throw the blue Jews to Trump's wolves?

I don't see any evidence that Trump is in any way responsible for any anti-Semitism in this country. In fact, anti-Semitism in this country seems to have found its home on the left, particularly on campuses where Jews are routinely subjected to abuse by the pro-Palestinian BDS types.
I suppose that doesn't really fit the narrative, however, does it?

Why shouldn't I charge my 64 kWh Kona EV to 100% every day?
Range and battery pack capacity are closely related (what a surprise). But look how far the Tesla Roadster concept has gone!
Another important thing to mention is the inverse relationship between battery pack size and efficiency. It is more visible among high-end EVs.
What's the optimal driving speed to maximize EV range?
