Don't Fear the Roofer, llamado No temas al techador en España y Ray el contratista en Hispanoamérica, es un episodio perteneciente a la decimosexta temporada de la serie animada Los Simpson, emitido originalmente el 1 de mayo de 2005. El episodio fue escrito por Kevin Curran y dirigido por Mark Kirkland. Stephen Hawking y Ray Romano son las estrellas invitadas. En este episodio, Homer se hace amigo de un contratista, el cual no es visto por los demás, por lo que Homer es tomado como loco.

Sinopsis

Todo comienza cuando una tormenta muy fuerte azota Springfield, y Marge le pide a Homer que arregle su techo, el cual estaba muy dañado. Homer, sin embargo, casi destruye la casa en el intento y, luego de ser regañado por su familia, se va a la taberna de Moe.

Cuando llega a la taberna, encuentra una fiesta sorpresa para Lenny. Sin embargo, accidentalmente arruina la sorpresa y después se sienta sobre el pastel (hecho de la forma del taburete preferido de Lenny) y es echado de allí.

Homer se enoja, pensando que nadie lo escucha a él ni a sus opiniones. Luego dice que todos se arrepentirán cuando cree la gaseosa de mejor sabor del mundo, y no la comparta con nadie. Más tarde, ve un bar situado en la Ruta 98. El camarero está demasiado ocupado para hablar con él, pero conoce a un hombre simpático, llamado Ray Magini. Ray le ofrece compartir sus nachos y su cerveza con él. Ray se vuelve un gran amigo de Homer, lo escucha, y luego él descubre que Ray es un contratista. Homer le pide que lo ayude a reparar su techo, y Ray accede.

Al día siguiente, Homer le asegura a Marge que su nuevo amigo se haría cargo del techo. Cuando ella y los niños se van, aparece Ray. Los dos suben al techo y usan máquinas para asegurar las tejas al techo, pero luego empiezan a dispararse clavos, algunos de los cuales golpean contra la podadora de Ned Flanders. Ray, más tarde, se va, y Homer corre sobre el techo y rompe la pequeña parte que habían arreglado, cayendo en una pila de ropa de Marge.

Cuando Marge vuelve a su casa, se sorprende al ver el agujero del techo más grande que antes. Le dice a Homer que compre los materiales y que arregle el techo él mismo. Homer dice que a Ray no le gustaría, pero Marge le asegura que él no está casado con Ray. Homer responde: "Si lo estuviese, tendría hijos más altos".

Al día siguiente, Bart y Homer van a una tienda para comprar artículos de reparación, y Homer ve a Ray. Ray se disculpa por no haber terminado el trabajo y le promete que pronto volvería a terminar el techo. En su casa, Homer se sienta en el techo esperando a Ray, luego de pintar dos caras en las paredes de su casa: una de Ray, y otra de Marge con cara furiosa. Finalmente, tarde por la noche, Marge le dice que Ray no es real, sino un producto de su imaginación. Homer se niega a creerlo.

Marge, entonces, lo lleva a un sanatorio mental, en donde el Dr. Hibbert le dice a Homer que Ray no existe; había sido creado por su mente, ya que se sentía solo y poco apreciado. Toda la gente que podría haber visto a Ray charlando con Homer no lo había hecho: Bart, Flanders y el camarero del bar. Lisa revela que "Ray Magini" es un anagrama de "imaginary" (Imaginario en inglés). Hibbert le da a Homer terapia de choques eléctricos por varias semanas, hasta que finalmente acepta que Ray no existe.

Sin embargo, cuando está por salir del hospital, Homer ve a Ray en la habitación, pero esta vez todos pueden verlo. Realmente había existido todo el tiempo: el camarero del bar no lo había visto porque tenía un ojo tapado por un parche, y Flanders tampoco, ya que Ray estaba en el techo y lo ocultaba la chimenea. Bart, sin embargo, seguía sin creer porque había visto a Homer hablando con el aire, pero Stephen Hawking dice que Bart no había visto a Ray en la tienda porque un agujero negro en miniatura se había puesto entre Bart y el contratista, impidiéndole ver nada.
Marge, entonces, le pregunta a Ray por qué había comenzado a reparar el tejado y luego había desaparecido. Ray dice que él es un contratista; todos ríen, y Marge dice que es cierto, todos son unos pillos.

Hibbert se disculpa con Homer y, cuando se está yendo, él lo detiene. Homer, entonces, le dice que está harto que nadie lo escuche, se burlen de él y piensen que está loco. Así que, en venganza, Homer obliga al médico a reparar su techo sin ningún descanso, mientras él y Ray descansan.

The world has fundamentally changed. Agility trumps size. Today the world's biggest problems are the world's greatest opportunities.
40 percent of today's Fortune 500 companies will be gone in ten years. Products and services are being dematerialized and demonetized. The entrepreneurs who win are those who can think exponentially.
Reading an exponential roadmap is key to your success. Understanding when technology is going from deceptive to disruptive. 3D printing is just one example that will disrupt a trillion dollar industry.
Robotics, infinite computing, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, and networks and sensors are the technologies that will produce the next group of billionaires. But you don't need to be a technologist to play this game.
What does Lockheed Skunkworks and GoogleX have in common? What are Google's 8 innovation principles that you should be applying to your next startup?
Super-Credibility and Stone Soup are two terms you probably don't know, but exponential entrepreneurs depend on both to punch above their weight class.
Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Larry Page and Jeff Bezos share eight key strategies that heltp them think at scale. These are the same psychological tools and mental strategies that you should use as an exponential entrepreneur.
With five billion people online by 2020, the most successful entrepreneurs and companies will use the power of the hyper-connected crowd to source their latest ideas, products and solutions. Here's the way to do it.
By 2020, $100 billion of capital is coming on-line from Crowdfunding. Here's a proven and detailed how-to guide to turn the crowd into your personal cash machine for funding your next product or service.

From the coauthors of the #2 New York Times bestseller Abundance comes their much anticipated follow-up: BOLD—a radical, how-to guide to using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth in your own life while simultaneously creating a world of abundance.
In Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler explored how four potent emerging forces—exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, technophilanthropists and the rising billion—give us the power to solve many of the world's grandest challenges and the potential to meet the needs of every man, woman and child over the next two to three decades. In BOLD, they offer the next step: a highly practical playbook that arms today's entrepreneurs, activists and leaders with the tools they'll need to positively impact the lives of billions while making their biggest dreams come true.
BOLD unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies which are disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from 'I've got an idea' to 'I run a billion-dollar company' far faster than ever before. With advice garnered from their own experience and hundreds of interviews with Silicon Valley elite, the authors provide exceptional insight into how anyone can harness the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology—the very technologies enabling today's entrepreneurs to tackle the kinds of enormous challenges that were once only possible for governments and major corporations. Part Two of the book focuses on Psychology of Bold—the mental toolkit that allows the world's top innovators to raise their game by thinking at scale, including detailed interviews with and lessons from Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos. Also in Part Two, Kotler reveals the keys to ultimate human performance garnered from fifteen years of research with the Flow Genome Project and Diamandis reveals his entrepreneurial secrets garnered from building fifteen companies, including such audacious ventures as Singularity University, the XPRIZE, Planetary Resources (for the mining of near-Earth Asteroids) and Human Longevity, Inc. (focused on extending the healthy human life-span). Finally, BOLD closes with a look at the incredible power and essential best practices that allow anyone to leverage today's hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, Diamandis and Kotler teach how to design and use incentive competitions to find breakthrough solutions, how to launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into ten's of billions of dollars of available capital, and finally how to build communities – armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today's entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.
BOLD: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World is both a manifesto and a manual. It is today's exponential entrepreneur's go-to resource on the use of emerging technologies, thinking at scale, and the awesome power of crowd-powered tools like crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and incentive competitions. All around us, technology is democratizing the power to change the world, and BOLD spells out how anyone can spy the opportunities and put their vision into action, blazing a path from mind to market.
The BOLD Book Cover show's the Earth being hit by an asteroid. What is the relevance of this image?
66 million years ago, dinosaurs were the uber-dominant species on Earth. But when an asteroid collided with our planet—unleashing everything from mega-tsunamis to global firestorms—these creatures were unable to adapt to the upheaval and instead went extinct.
For our species, this was very good news. While the dinosaurs were large, lumbering and inflexible, those early small, furry mammals—our ancestors—were far more nimble and resilient. They took opportunistic advantage of the radical changes sweeping the globe, adapted to their new environment, and never looked back.
In today's business world, this tale is especially relevant. Right now there is another asteroid impacting our world—it's called: "exponential technology." And its awesome power is threatening a different breed of dinosaur—large and innovation-resistant companies. Yet there's a new breed of small, furry mammal starting to emerge. These mammals are today's exponential entrepreneurs—those using radically accelerating technologies to transform products, services and industries to pave the way for a world of abundance.

Q: GWT - constructing a new ImageData / Bitmap I wish to create a new, empty bitmap, manually draw on it, and only then draw it onto a canvas.
This bitmap should not based on any existing image or existing canvas.
Is there a way to create such a bitmap in GWT? The best solution I can find is creating a dummy canvas, then getting its ImageData through context2d. I can hardly believe that this is the right way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A: Take care, due to limitations, your app will not run on google app engine.

One of the frightening phenomena of civilizations, both ancient and modern, is discussed in the Torah reading this week. That recurring phenomenon is the one of the false prophet. The Torah warned the people of Israel that there would be false prophets in their future. It also warned them how dangerous and sinister such people are, because for all of their charisma and attraction, their influence is lethal. Even if the false prophet gives signs and omens to substantiate the prophecy that he is advancing, and those signs and omens apparently become actual and real, nevertheless the Torah admonishes us "do not dare to succumb to listen [and have belief] in him." The Torah wants us to carefully inspect both the message and the messenger before investing our behavior and future in the forecasts of anyone. The Torah especially emphasizes the danger of "dreamers of dreams," the purveyors of utopian schemes, unrealistic magic and ideologue nonsense. Look at what Karl Marx' dreams, theories and ideological certainties have accomplished for mankind. How about the false prophets of all of the major idealistic movements of our sad century? Hitler, Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Pol Pot, etc. all prophesied the emerging "New Order," the "Brave New World," "Democratic Collectivism," "Redesigning the World," and all of their prophesies gained millions of believers. But all their dreams, certainties and bravado ended up as pure nonsense, or better put, impure bloody nonsense. False prophets are deadly expensive luxuries for human societies.
How does one spot a false prophet? Again, the Torah is most instructive in dealing with this problem. If the prophet promotes goals, or means to achieve those goals, which are contrary to the accepted value norms of Torah, then he is automatically a false prophet. The promotion of paganism, the unjustified violence in the supposed cause of good, "moral" political and intellectual leaders who are personally immoral, radicals who are determined to destroy everything old to make way for the purportedly blessed new – none of these scenarios is allowed by the Torah. They should not be condoned by society, certainly not by Jewish society, either. Our world is always looking for a new false prophet. The new ideologues such as the Greens, who are dangerously close to pantheism, if not paganism; the homosexual lobby, interested in proselytizing others and debasing all standards of accepted human behavior established over the last two millennia; and the true believers, both Right and Left, who believe that coercive social engineering is the panacea for all our inner and communal ills, are all part of the group of the false prophets of our time. We should be steadfast in avoiding being swayed by their currently, but only temporarily, political correct, siren song. Anything that does not conform to God's natural law of nature and humans, as clearly expressed in the Torah, is a dangerous delusion and a false and destructive type of prophecy.
The Jewish society, because of its innate, almost naive, search for spirit, perfection, and a compassionate and just world, is particularly prone to the disaster of false prophets. The Jewish world in its long history has been able to identify and reject false prophets and false messiahs. But that ability has suffered over the past two centuries. Our Jewish world has embraced many Jewish and non-Jewish false prophets, ideologies, programs and goals recently. The disastrous consequences of such recklessness in the Jewish world are by now patently obvious to all unprejudiced observers. The admonition of the Torah to ignore and reject the false prophets of the world is as valid today as ever. We disregard it at our extreme peril.

Sports clubs across the county have been served a helping hand after local construction firm Lindum Group signed a two year deal to support Lincolnshire Tennis.
Lindum has agreed to become Lincolnshire Tennis's main sponsor for 2018 and 2019 and the deal means it can now rebuild its programmes and support services for Lincolnshire clubs after years of funding cuts.
Chairman of Lincolnshire Tennis, John Copsey said: "In recent years Lincolnshire Tennis's activities have been severely hampered by significant cuts in central funding by British Tennis.

"Over recent months we have been working hard to find a main sponsor that fits in with our own ideals and ethos of our great sport and are thrilled that Lindum Group has agreed to create a partnership with us.
"This partnership means that we can now start to rebuild our programmes, providing greater support to our clubs, our coaches, our many players and our county teams.
"The first major event to benefit from this partnership will be the Lindum Lincolnshire and British Tennis Awards Ceremony to be held at The Showroom in Lincoln on Saturday, March 24.
"Banners promoting our partnership will also be provided for display at all Lincolnshire registered clubs."
David Chambers, chairman of Lindum Group, said: "Lindum is proud to be associated with Lincolnshire Tennis and is delighted to support the organisation through this new sponsorship deal.
"Our company has a long-standing association with the sport, which is also a personal passion of mine.
Support LEAP and get the next generation of sporting talent off the ground
"This partnership also reflects Lindum's wider ambition of investing in our local communities and nurturing talent, a philosophy which underpins our training and apprenticeship programmes.
"We are pleased to be working with an organisation which not only provides today's players with excellent facilities across Lincolnshire but also serves up a platform for the next generation of tennis stars."

Torrington Contract Drafting Attorneys
Find the right Contract Drafting attorney in Torrington, CT
A contract in Connecticut is an agreement about something of value between two or more parties who intend the agreement to have legal effect. It may be oral or written, as long as all parties agree to the contractual terms. Businesses most often prefer the reliability of written contracts in their transactions. These instruments are best written by those with an expertise of the law, since the intent behind a contract is to give it legal effect.
Negotiating a Contract in Torrington
Negotiation of each particular term in a contract is important to ensure that the intent of each party is met. Also, there are certain clauses that should be included in every Torrington contract to give it the desired legal effect. Stating your intentions clearly at the outset of negotiations is helpful, since then the parties may carefully detail the obligations and duties of the contract based on mutual expectations. Also, you may want to negotiate a process that can be followed should one party not fulfill its end of the contract.
It may save you time to use a form contract instead of drafting your own. Even so, you may want an attorney in Torrington, Connecticut to add or remove provisions, or to simply make the contract language more clear. There are risks to using a contract that neither party has written, particularly if you proceed without the guidance of an attorney. First, a party using a form contract may not have completely read all the terms, and can thereby remain unaware of his performance obligations and liabilities if events do not go as planned. Second, form contracts will often contain language that is difficult to understand outside the legal community. This can cause disagreement over the meaning of a clause. Lawyers can help ensure that a written contract matches the intent of the parties, whether negotiating a contract or using a form. Connecticut contract law is a field in which many Torrington lawyers have specialized.

Tonya Lynn Butler (born October 20, 1980) is an American athlete who is the first woman ever to score a field goal in a college football game. She accomplished this feat on September 13, 2003, as a placekicker for the University of West Alabama Tigers, which was competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II.

Playing career

High school
Butler was raised in Fayetteville, Georgia, where she played the placekicker position for Riverdale High School. She won the starting kicking job when she was in tenth grade after serving as the junior varsity kicker for her freshman year. As a sophomore, Butler converted seven of eight field goal attempts and 28 of 31 extra points and became the first female to both make the all-area team for Clayton and Henry Counties and honorable mention for Class AAA all-state team as picked by the Georgia Sportswriters Association.

Butler converted five of ten field goal attempts and 20 of 23 extra points as a junior; and seven of thirteen field goals and 64-of-65 extra points as a senior. She completed her Riverdale career with 165 total points, for second place all-time in points scored at Riverdale. For her performance on the field, Butler was named to the 1998 Class AAA all-state football team as picked by the Georgia Sportswriters Association as the first female ever selected. She also lettered in soccer in high school.

College
During her senior year of high school, Butler received interest from Central Michigan in Division I-A and over two dozen schools in Division I-AA for her services as placekicker. In January 1999 Butler announced she would play college football at Middle Georgia College for head coach Randy Pippin and signed a national letter of intent for a football scholarship to compete as placekicker on February 3, 1999. The signing made Butler the first female to earn a football scholarship at a state school. During her two years at Middle Georgia, Butler made 36 of 42 extra points and one field goal for the Warriors. After earning her associates degree at Middle Georgia, she did not receive any scholarship offers to compete as a placekicker elsewhere. Butler ended up going to Georgia Southern where she graduated in 2003.

After graduating from Georgia Southern, former Georgia College head coach Randy Pippin, who was now the head coach at West Alabama, offered Butler a scholarship to serve as placekicker for the Tigers. With two years of eligibility remaining, she enrolled as a graduate student and won the starting placekicker position for the Tigers 2003 season. In the first game of the season, Butler scored on a 27-yard field goal attempt against Stillman with 9:41 remaining in the first quarter. Although initially unconfirmed by the NCAA as gender was not differentiated in their all-time records, it was later confirmed that Butler was the first female to score a field goal in a college football game.

Butler served as placekicker for both the 2003 and 2004 seasons playing for West Alabama. For her career she made 13 of 19 field goal attempts with a long kick of 39 yards, and 48 of 53 in extra point attempts. Her 50 total points made during the 2003 season led the squad, and she was named special teams captain in both her years at West Alabama. Butler also was named Academic All-Gulf South Conference in 2004 and graduated in 2005 with a master's degree in psychology and counseling. In January 2006, her West Alabama helmet, jersey and cleats were displayed at the NCAA Hall of Champions in Indianapolis in recognition of her accomplishments as a student-athlete.

Butler held the record for the most points scored by a female college football player with 87 through the 2010 season when Brittany Ryan from Lebanon Valley College established the new mark.

Q: Implementing action bar tabs with fragments So recently I needed to implement action bar tabs that would swap out the current fragment with a new fragment. Despite hours of intensive searching I was unable to find a clear solution, so I thought I would present how I solved the problem here. Two of the fragments contained list views, which turned out to be a major complicating factor.

A: First create an Activity to which you want to attach the fragments. In the XML file for that Activity add a linear layout like so:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".WoodenSideProject" >
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/fragment_placeholder"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>

Do not add anything else to the XML file. Not even the tab host that is preloaded with Eclipse.
Next create your fragments. First build the UI for your fragment how you want it using the fragment's XML file. I will show how to create a fragment with a List View:
public class Fragment1Name extends Fragment
{
public static String TAG="DirectionsFragment";
private String[] list_items = {"Put the list of Strings you want here"};
ListView lView1;
/*@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list_items);
        setListAdapter(adapter);
}*/

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_XML_title, container, false);
    createListView(view);
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    return view;
}

private void createListView(View view)
{
    lView1 = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.ListViewID);
    //Set option as Multiple Choice. So that user can able to select more the one option from list
    lView1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list_items));
}
}

Some people suggest extending ListFragment for a fragment that uses a List View. My experience has been that is more trouble than it's worth.
Set up the Activity's java file as follows:
public class ActivityName extends FragmentActivity {
public static Context appContext;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_project);

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
setTitle("WoodenSideProject");

ActionBar.Tab tab1 = actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab1");
ActionBar.Tab tab2 = actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab2");
ActionBar.Tab tab3 = actionBar.newTab().setText("Tab3");

Fragment Fragment1Name = new Fragment1Name();
Fragment Fragment2Name = new Fragment2Name();
Fragment Fragment3Name = new Fragment3Name();

tab1.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(Fragment1Name));
tab2.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(Fragment2Name));
tab3.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(Fragment3Name));

actionBar.addTab(tab1);
actionBar.addTab(tab2);
actionBar.addTab(tab3);
}

Within the same Activity create the following class:
class MyTabsListener implements ActionBar.TabListener {
public Fragment fragment;

public MyTabsListener(Fragment fragment) {
    this.fragment = fragment;
}

@Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    //do what you want when tab is reselected, I do nothing
}

@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    ft.replace(R.id.fragment_placeholder, fragment);
}

@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    ft.remove(fragment);
}
}

I don't know if others have had as much trouble as I implementing action bar tabs with fragments, but if they are I hope this helps. Any suggestions for better implementations would be greatly appreciated.

A few people have asked me about the term 'Financial Gerontology'.
As a field, gerontology (the study of aging) consists of many disciplines such as health, psychology, sociology, education, law and political science, to name a few. It is interdisciplinary in nature.
Gerontologists work on both micro and macro levels. Certainly, financial issues come into play at a societal (e.g. socio-economic issues and social policy) level as well as at the individual level (e.g. later life work and income, wealth generation and savings, financial management, etc.).
Financial gerontology is the study of aging and the related financial, business and economic issues. This emerging field developed when this term was first coined in 1988.
Traditionally, the financial aspects of aging have been a bit on the periphery within the study of aging, a part of gerontology and issues of aging, but not in the forefront. Regardless, financial and economic issues, including later life work and employment, poverty and low-income seniors, pension plans and retirement savings, are linked to gerontology and a part of the field of gerontology. These are important personal and public policy issues.
In this low-growth, economically sluggish climate, I predict that all of these issues will become increasingly important to society as well as to gerontologists and the older adults they study and serve.

The Coal Research and Engineering Needs in the UK report considers the technology development pathways and the specific areas of research, development and demonstration (R,D&D) where further work is needed to meet short-term and longer-term coal utilisation objectives from a United Kingdom perspective.
This report addresses the projected global role of coal, technology options, and specific UK research requirements and funding sources for clean coal R,D&D. It proposes priorities and a structure for the UK R&D programme.
The purpose of this report is to assist both governmental and industrial strategy and policy makers in reaching decisions that will help to ensure that coal can continue to play a significant and sustainable role within the UK and world energy scene.
In addition, the APGTF, (Advanced Power Generation Technologies Forum), CCSA, (Carbon Capture and Storage Association), the KTN, (Knowledge Transfer Network) and the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre, (UKCCSRC), together with the Coal Research Forum, have organised and co-funded a joint workshop on Thursday 15th October 2015 at Mary Sumner House in London to identify innovative research and development solutions to support the next generation of Carbon Capture and Storage, (CCS), projects in the UK. This event was well attended by over 100 participants representing virtually all of the stakeholders with interests in CCS in the UK, including power generation companies, energy intensive industrial organisations, technology providers, academics and associated supply chain companies and funders. The following document was produced from this meeting, which summarises future Carbon Capture and Storage research needs in the UK.
Coal R&D Successes in the UK
The Coal R&D Successes in the UK report demonstrates that the coal R&D undertaken in the UK over the past decades has resulted in many successes and provided substantial benefits. It gives examples of coal preparation and utilisation R&D projects in terms of the resulting technical, commercial and environmental benefits.
Members of the Coal Research Forum consider that coal R&D in the UK must be sustained in order to continue to provide technical and environmental improvements, and thus help to keep coal competitive and provide export opportunities for British industry.
Whilst major advances have been made in developing competitive clean coal technologies, there is still scope for further technical and environmental improvements to current coal utilisation and the opportunity of even better performance with new generations of clean coal technology. Maintaining a strong coal R&D base will help industry benefit from opportunities within the UK and abroad.

Buffalo Bills lose in heartbreaking fashion

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Miami Dolphins, 24-17, in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday.
With one final chance to win the game, rookie quarterback Josh Allen put the Bills in position to score.
On a critical fourth down, he threw a wobbling pass to a wide-open Charles Clay, who dropped the ball.
The Buffalo Bills have been finding new and innovative ways to lose football games for some time now, but Sunday's effort came with an especially painful ending for the Bills Mafia.
After trailing for the majority of the game, the Bills had one final chance to come back and beat the Dolphins in Miami. Buffalo started their final drive at their own 10-yard line with 2:33 left on the clock and needing a touchdown to win. Josh Allen was able to move the offense down to the Miami 30-yard line with just over a minute left, but after a few incompletions, the Bills faced fourth-and-11 with the game on the line.
Allen took the snap and was immediately in trouble, with Dolphins defenders closing in fast. Somehow, he escaped, scrambling as far back as midfield before he was able to reset his feet and look for an open man.
He found one — in the chaos, Charles Clay had gotten himself wide open and was ready for the ball in the end zone. Allen threw up a prayer, and it bounced right out of Clay's hands.
While the throw was a bit short, Allen had already performed two miracles on the play simply to remain upright. Still, seeing how open Clay was only made the play more painful upon second viewings.
The Bills would turn the ball over on downs, and the Dolphins would go on to win the game 24-17 after a few kneel-downs.
Just when you think you've seen it all, the Bills find a new way to lose.

Battlefield V Firestorm Battle Royale Mode Won't Go Free to Play 'At the Moment': EA
Battlefield V Firestorm Battle Royale Mode Won't Go Free-to-Play 'At the Moment': EA
By Rishi Alwani | Updated: 22 March 2019 15:53 IST
Fortnite or Apex Legends, Battlefield V Firestorm won't be free-to-play EA's Criterion Games confirmed
Battlefield V Firestorm is the game's battle royale mode. With the Battlefield V Firestorm release date of March 25, EA confirmed that it won't be a free-to-play mode at launch. This is in sharp contrast to other battle royale games like Fortnite and EA's own Apex Legends, both of which don't charge users anything to start playing, relying on micro-transactions like cosmetic items and battle passes. During a Battlefield V Firestorm preview event, John Stanley, Senior Designer at the EA-owned Criterion Games stated it won't happen "at the moment", which could possibly imply plans for a free-to-play option down the line.
"At the moment, it's really important for Firestorm to come out and be part of Battlefield V," he said in conversation with VG247. "Obviously there are multiple links when you are playing Firestorm that tie back into Battlefield V, so any XP you earn ties back into Tides of War and Chapter Ranks and all these kind of things. The same applies to weapons and vehicles that you use in Firestorm. It's really important for that to be a part of this at this point and be a way for Battlefield players to experience something different in the Battlefield universe. That's where we're at."
When pressed for plans for the future, Stanley said: "Nothing to talk about at the moment, no."
Battlefield V Firestorm will launch on March 25. Firestorm features a circle of fire that keeps shrinking and if players are on the edge when it shrinks, they get burned. This is an interesting take on the shrinking circle seen in battle royale games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and PUBG. Battlefield V is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and Firestorm will be available on all three from March 25.
Battlefield V Firestorm is a 64-player multiplayer mode where players land with no loadout, similar to other battle royale games. According to EA, the studio that publishes Battlefield games, Firestorm is a free update that will be available to all Battlefield V players.

Britain fell deeper into recession during the final three months of last year as the economy contracted by 1.5 per cent, according to new figures released on Friday.
The rapid decline in UK economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2008 was the worst performance since the second quarter of 1980, when the country was in the middle of steep downturn, and confirmed the economy grew at its slowest annual pace for sixteen years.
Fourth quarter growth was weaker than the 1.2 per cent decline economists on average had been expecting and follows a 0.6 per cent contraction in the third quarter. For the whole of 2008 growth was just 0.7 per cent.

ANOTHER Coonamble-bred sportsman is poised to represent Australia with Hayden Page selected in the national team to play in the Last Man Stands Cricket World Series in England in August.
Hayden has received his baggy green cap and is now in serious training mode, spending four afternoons a week facing as many balls as he can with the bowling machine and bowling in the nets.
"It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to go to the nets at the Coonamble oval and bowl by myself," he said.
Page, who is now 30 years old and a social worker in Canberra, says the worldwide interest in the short format of the game has created new opportunities and pathways for passionate players.
Last Man Stands is an 8-a-side 20/20 competition that runs 11 months of the year. The fast format and unique rules where the last batsman plays by himself – hence Last Man Stands – is attracting a massive following around the world.
The format is played competitively in 19 countries and 12 of those nations are coming together in England for the inaugural world series. The Tournament runs from 5 to 12 August with teams made up of the best 8 players in each country.
Australia's ten-man team will be led by cricket international Marcus North as player-coach.
Some other high profile names in international cricket have been drafted as player-coaches in the coming series, including Shiv Chanderpaul for USA, Ajantha Mendis for Sri Lanka and Abdul Razak for Pakistan, drawing extra attention to the World Series.
"With 20/20 competitions starting in many countries around the world, competitions like this provide pathway opportunities" Hayden said.
Australia's team members come from Adelaide, Brisbane, Wollongong and Sydney, with Hayden and another player from Canberra.
"Four were picked from the National Championships – best bowler, best batsman and two all-rounders," Hayden said.
Page was picked as a wild card as a result of maintaining a position in the top 10 of international all-rounders. The LMS (Last Man Stands) Australia management keep an eye on the scores and performances of players across the competition and the side was finalised towards the end of 2017.
Hayden left Coonamble at the start of 2006, after finishing at Coonamble High School in 2005. He attended Newcastle University to start a teaching degree before switching to social work part way through.
With encouragement from his grandparents, mother Dorrie Page and father Roger Nalder, Hayden pursued his love of cricket through the Coonamble junior competition and as a keen player in the B Grade was occasionally drafted to the A Grade district competition playing with much older cricketers in inter-town matches.
"David and Ginny Taylor were also a big support of my cricket at that time, helping me get to rep carnivals all over NSW," he said.
Even after finishing university and moving to Canberra to work Hayden would play cricket with his family whenever he came home. He hopes one day to be involved in junior cricket coaching camps at Coonamble if there's local interest.
In the meantime, his attention is focused on getting ready for the LMS World Series. Apart from part subsidy of playing fees by the LMS Australia management, the trip is self-financed by each of the players.
Even though his Coonamble family can't get to England Hayden's partner Laura will join him for the second half of the competition.
"Hopefully, she'll be cheering me on for a World Series finals victory," he laughed.

Overdoses Kill 621 in San Francisco Thus Far in 2020; Coronavirus Kills 173
AP Photo/Jeff Chiu
Drug overdoses have killed 621 people in San Francisco this year, nearly four times as many as have been killed by COVID-19, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
A report in the Chronicle noted on Saturday:
Fifty-eight more people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco last month [November], bringing the yearly total to at least 621. That compares to 441 deaths in all of 2019.
The latest numbers put San Francisco on track to losing nearly two people a day by the end of the year and dwarf the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen so far this year.
The drug crisis has been exacerbated by fentanyl, a powerful opioid that can be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
While stay-at-home orders may have made it harder to some addicts to feed their habit, those who have continued using drugs have done so in relative isolation, meaning that they are less likely to find help if they have an overdose.
The Chronicle noted that the number of overdose deaths would have been higher but for the fact that emergency personnel used the Narcan drug to save people roughly 3,000 times through the beginning of November.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report on Thursday indicating that "approximately 81,230 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States in the 12-months ending in May 2020," a new record.
The cause of the surge was the use of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, with a surge of cases west of the Mississippi.
"The increases in drug overdose deaths appear to have accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic," the CDC noted.

Thank you, Jamey. Glad we got everything tightened up on these!
Another excellent master with, Jamey. Looking forward to rounding out the LP together! Always a pleasure
I've done a few masters for Jamey now and he always delivers excellent productions and mixes. He's a reliable communicator too and I always look forward to working with him again! Thank you
I had a great experience working with Point Break Swayze. I highly recommend making records with him. He's a talented musician and producer who communicates well and takes care of business. Looking forward to the next project! Thank you
by Wes Writer * LIMITED BOOKINGS*
Sok was great to work with. No complaints would work again. His song was fun and he is a great producer/writer
Interview with Jamey Creates
A: Would love to work with Beck but he would probably think I'm a lame dork.
A: For almost every type of music, the vocal performance is the MOST important thing. Everything else is valuable and matters, but a great vocal performance is why people listen. Great doesn't necessarily mean professional or perfect either but it has to be compelling or moving or exciting.
A: I mixed and mastered The Sons of Otis Malone's first album and although I didn't have much to do with it they are my good friends and I had a blast working with them. I also shot and edited a video for them.
A: Working on an EP called "Point Break Swayze EP." Five songs and two music videos.
A: Wes Rider (Skrilla) https://soundbetter.com/profiles/16258-wes-writer-(skrilla) He did a verse on my EP and it was amazing, very easy to work with. Daramola https://soundbetter.com/profiles/50164-daramola He did a vocal for me and was awesome.
A: BOTH, all the time. Whatever it takes to get good sounds it what I want to use. It's fun to take some analog sound and twist it up into some crazy synth-sounding line or vice versa, play a synth out of a speaker and re-record it back in.
A: Creating, making something that didn't exist a minute ago. Working with creative people.
A: Can I get it for free or trade you for something? My answer is no. :)
A: That making beats is the hard part and writing the song is the easiest part. Beats are a dime a dozen, there are a million good beats out there now online for you to get your hands on. Being able to turn a beat or a melody or some chords into a song is the real magic.
A: Start with the usual: Deadlines, budgets, any non-negotiable aspects to the project. I like to do what I call "HFR" which is Hear, Feel, Remember. So I ask clients what they want listeners to hear, feel, and remember. With these three pieces of data I can then ask deeper questions about sound and feel and audience.
A: Be open to collaboration and creativity. If you need a studio player or an engineer to execute the technical aspect of your vision then I'm not your guy. I'm a creator, I make things and if you want to invent something or bring a layer of uniqueness to a project then we can work well together.
A: Electric guitar, Shure SM58, Macbook, Apogee Duet, Arturia MiniLab MKII
A: I've been making music for 25 years. Started in high school playing in rock bands and doing some hip hop on the side. In college, I played guitar in a grunge band and put out some local indie-pop albums. Started learning DAW production and MPC after college and have been playing shows, writing songs and producing ever since.
A: Creative, unique, emotional, organic.
A: Folk, pop, rock, hip hop, r&b.
A: Producing tracks.
A: I bring creativity, strong arrangement skills, a great ear, lyrical acumen and empathy for the listener.
A: I either start with a beat/track and topline it, or I start on guitar. I've played electric and acoustic guitar for 25 years. Sometimes I will have an idea and build from there, or a certain sound or chord progression will "click" and I'm off and running. If I'm working with a client I start by asking a TON of questions.
A: Bedroom studio. I have a weird collection of analog gear and oddities that I use with a pretty minimal digital setup that includes a Mac laptop, Logic Pro X (primarily,) MPC Element, a usb keyboard and a collection of mics, guitars and drums.
A: I love anything creative and everything well-crafted. I'm inspired by producers like Jake Uno, Dr. Dre, Nigel Godrich, Diplo, and Benny Blanco. I have a lot of respect for the talents of The Weeknd, Beck, Khalid, Years & Years, Flume, Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, Vulfpeck and Major Lazer.
A: I tend to produce, engineer and write songs for people. Sometimes I mix and master but would not consider it my specialty. I'm a creative person who can come at things from new angles and help people find unique sounds.

Stephon Marbury made his name in the NBA- now he is trying do the same in the CBA.
The 35 year old plays for the Beijing Ducks.
Tomorrow, they will play in their first Chinese basketball league final, and the New Yorker is looking forward to it.
"For my basketball career, being able to participate the CBA final is something that gratifying, it's enough fulfilling feeling because you want to win but being on this stage, it shows the hard work that we put through works in the whole year."
The former NBA All-Star player spent 13 seasons in the NBA with five teams, but he never managed to win a league title.
On Wednesday, the Beijing Ducks will meet the Guangdong Tigers in the CBA final.
They go into the match with confidence, having won all their last 13 games.
"I love being here, I love the people here. The people here are really good, really warm people. You know, as a basketball player coming from the NBA comes to China, being able to see how the league is growing, it really has shown me the league has continued here and it's becoming one of the best leagues in the world."


Only 37 percent of Bitcoin (BTC) inscriptions in its broad system are "economically applicable," according to a statement delivered by probing organization Chainalysis on 19 December 2018.
To date the Bitcoin, blockchain forms a system of 460 million inscriptions, which can forward and accept the coin, as per Chainalysis. A particular person or a valid organization can have infinite Bitcoin inscriptions.
Economically applicable inscriptions are managed by particular people or services that presently have Bitcoin, and comprise only 37 percent or, we can say, 172 million inscriptions, while only 27 million of these literally retain cryptocurrency.
Chainalysis has found that out of the declared above 37 percent of inscriptions, 86 percent or 147 million are possessed by a named service such as an exchange or darknet market. As additionally declared, only 20% of Bitcoin deal value is a profitable transfer. The enduring 80 percent is significantly "returned as change".
As the graph given by Chainalysis reveals, for the session between August and October 2018, about $41 billion worth of deals were accomplished, while only $9 billion had the actual profitable gain.
According to Bloomberg, Chainalysis noticed that in the immediate past of the market crash in November 2018, the quantity of Bitcoin flowing to individual wallets was increasing. Aggregate exceeded $400million, up from smaller than $300 million in June month. This was appearing to be an indication that people were marketing up on Bitcoin at reasonable costs.
In its latest survey produced on 17 Dec 2018, probing company Diar noticed that institutional investors have moved towards excessive liquidity over-the-counter (OTC) actual Bitcoin markets. In 2018, crypto exchange Coinbase purportedly found a 20% increment in BTC business volume during OTC market hours, while Grayscale's Bitcoin Investment Trust noticed a 35% fall in volumes collated with the same interval in 2017.
As Cointelegraph announced in the past, the larger part of the top 25 Bitcoin trading sets recorded on CoinMarketCap (CMC) are supposedly build upon "grossly" raised incorrect volumes. The Blockchain Transparency Institute (BTI) assessed the actual volume of those sets finding that "more than 80% of the CMC top 25 BTC sets volume is wash traded.
