UK Renewables generate more than fossil fuels for the first time
During the three months of July, August and September, renewables generated an estimated total of 29.5 terawatt hours (TWh), compared with just 29.1TWh from fossil fuels, the analysis shows.
This is the first-ever quarter where renewables outpaced fossil fuels since the UK's first public electricity generating station opened in 1882. It is another symbolic milestone in the stunning transformation of the UK's electricity system over the past decade. (carbonbrief)

Eden Project to start drilling on 'hot rocks' project
The Eden Project has secured enough money to push ahead with its £17m plan to drill into Cornish rocks to harness clean heat and power, the tourist attraction announced yesterday.
Together with project partners EGS Energy Limited, the Eden Project plans to drill down 4.5km as part of a pioneering geothermal enegry project.
Water will then be pumped through the tunnel and heated using geothermal heat, before being brought back to ground level and fed into a district heating system that will power the site's biomes, offices, and greenhouses. (businessgreen)
Drax launches sustainable biomass strategy
Drax has outlined how it will use the latest science and best practice to ensure that biomass use is sustainably sourced and not linked to deforestation, with the UK Governments former chief scientific adviser Sir John Beddington confirmed as chair of a new Independent Advisory Board
The company has unveiled a new biomass sustainability policy built on the recommendations of Forest Research, the research agency of the Forestry Commission and the European Climate Foundation.
The new policy aligns to 15 recommendations, notably to favour biomass associated with restoration and conservation projects and a commitment to not take from sources linked to deforestation.
Drax has agreed to work with academic institutions and non-profit organisations to meet its core commitments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and protect the natural environment. (edie)
UK net zero 'needs 100GW' extra green power
The UK's legal obligation to hit net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require more than 100GW of new wind and solar generation, according to Aurora Energy Research.
The Oxford consultancy's 'Getting to Net Zero' report found the climate goal needs wind and solar capacity to increase to more than 140GW by mid-century, up from around 33GW today.
Net zero will also require 20GW of new nuclear and 3GW of carbon capture and storage, Aurora said.
The variable nature of wind and solar output means that deploying renewables at this scale will also need up to 30GW of short-duration energy storage in 2050 to help balance the grid.
A further 20GW of longer-duration back-up capacity would be required to cater for prolonged windless spell in winter. (renews)
Coincidentally in another part of Oxford, Chris Goodall's blog Carbon Commentary had been doing a similar exercise and come up with similar numbers:
'Massive overbuilding' of renewables is the way to 100% decarbonisation
This note argues that 'net zero' energy is likely to be most cheaply achieved by a huge expansion of renewables combined with hydrogen as a storage medium.
In particular, I look at the first stage of this strategy: the building of sufficient renewables capacity to provide all UK electricity, rather than all energy. I use data from the month of September 2019, showing that a 6.2 times expansion of wind energy supply would have created a sufficient electricity to at least cover current needs about 62% of the time. At times of surplus, up to 30 gigawatts of electricity is assumed to be converted to hydrogen. This hydrogen is then used to make electricity in the 38% of half hour periods when renewables supply is insufficient, through either combustion in a hydrogen CCGT units or the use of fuel cells. The supply from a 6.2 times multiple of current wind energy would have covered total electricity demand in each half hour of the month. No other capacity would be required, either from fossil fuel or, indeed, other renewables.
I use projected 2025 costs to assess the financial implications of this. The recent offshore wind auction produced prices as low as £39.50 (in 2012 money) per MWh. After applying CPI inflation to this number, the price would be about £51 in 2025. I then use estimated costs to calculate the price for converting surplus electricity to hydrogen and then back to electricity. Using these estimates, I suggest that the cost of fully renewable electricity system is only slightly more than today's electricity supply pattern, updated to 2025 prices.
Finally, I postulate that this calculation is too pessimistic and that cost trends in renewables will make massive overbuilding of renewables cheaper than any alternative by 2025. Specifically, the expansion of renewable electricity as a source for replacements for liquid fuels will aid the economics of the proposed approach. (carboncommentary)

Volvo's first full EV
Volvo has unveiled its first pure electric car, the XC40 Recharge. It's based on the existing compact SUV, slipping into an attractive segment of the market where there aren't currently a huge range of rivals.
Not only is Volvo showcasing this first vehicle, but changing gear on electrification in general, saying that there will be an electric car launch every year for the next 5 years – with the ambition of moving to 50 per cent sales from EVs by 2025.
The range of electric Volvos will be known by the moniker "Recharge"
The XC40 is all-wheel drive, with a total output of 408hp, giving a 0-62mph time of 4.9 seconds. There's a 78kWh battery that will recharge to 80 per cent in around 40 minutes, supporting fast charging up to 150kW, and should make the car good for a range of 250 miles. (pocket-lint)
Hamburger Hochbahn to purchase 530 electric buses between 2021 and 2025
The road is paved for the transition of Hamburger Hochbahn bus fleet to electric drive. The 20 Mercedes eCitaro and 10 Solaris Urbino 12 Electric are just the stepping stones for a plan that aims at the introduction to no less than 530 electric buses between 2021 and 2025, including both battery and fuel cell buses.
The plan follows the initiatives by the Hamburg Senate calling for transport operators to only purchase zero-emission, fully electric buses from 2020 onwards and is part of Germany's wider environmental agenda, which has named Hamburg as one of first cities to commit to the full electrification of its bus fleet.

Self-sustainable children's center in Tanzania harvests water like a baobab tree
In northern Tanzania, a Swedish team of architects, engineers and a non-profit collaborated with local workers to complete the Econef Children's Center, a self-sustaining facility for orphans in the King'ori villageThe off-grid buildings are powered with solar energy and harvest rainwater in a system inspired by the African baobab tree. Inspired by the African baobab tree that can retain up to 120,000 liters of water in its trunk to survive in the desert, the building's rainwater harvesting system draws rainwater from the roof's spine through a central gutter that funnels the water into two water tanks tucked beneath the two of the inner courtyards. The collected rainwater is used for showers and laundry. (inhabitat)
Focus on: Inertia
As usual Aurora Energy Research put on a fascinating show at their Flexibility & Storage Conference. Fintan Slye, director of National Grid highlighted issues to do with Inertia, especially in relation to the August 9th blackout. I am sure that I wasn't the only one there who had to do some research into what was exactly the issue:
Inertia is "taken for granted"; it will become much more important
Inertia in the GB power system will become far more valuable according to the head of the system operator, Fintan Slye.
He suggested an inertia market will be required to deliver the necessary volumes as traditional sources – such as the spinning turbines of large power stations – are forced off stream.
"Inertia is at the heart of everything we do," he said. "We need inertia, so let's get a market-based solution for that."
Speaking at Aurora's battery storage and flexibility conference, Slye underlined that "flexibility is one of the biggest opportunities" as the UK attempts to decarbonise its economy. (energyst)
Can Synthetic Inertia from Wind Power Stabilize Grids?
Synthetic inertia is the latest step in a longstanding technology trend, that has already transformed renewable generators from potential liabilities to power grid stability into substantial contributors to it. The first step, he says, was equipping renewables to remain solid and thus "not harm the grid" during times of grid instability. Modern wind and solar plants are designed to "ride-through" severe faults, such as short-circuit events that drop grid voltage to zero.
In fact, most wind and solar farms can do much more than just stick around during trouble. For example, most utility-scale installations—and even some residential rooftop solar systems—are designed to combat voltage sags on power grids. Their electronic inverters can detect brownouts and generate reactive power (AC whose current wave leads its voltage wave) to raise the grid voltage.
Synthetic inertia is about responded to crashing AC frequency, usually after the loss of a big power plant. When a big generator goes offline, it leaves the grid under-supplied. That will cause the AC frequency to fall.
To emulate the inertial behavior of massive rotating equipment, a renewable generator must somehow find extra power quick. Québec's wind turbines do so through a collaboration between the turbines' solid-state power electronics and their moving parts. (ieee)
The Caribbean Shows the Way to a Renewable Future
In the span of just a few years, the focus at the annual Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation conference has shifted from issues around producing electricity from thermal capacity — usually oil — to what blend of renewable options constitutes the best path forward.
They are not questions rooted only in environmental sustainability; they also address life-saving resiliency, as seen with storms that have battered communities and their power grids on many islands.
The island of Bonaire has deployed a mixture of battery energy storage, wind and thermal engines controlled by Greensmith's Energy Management System (GEMS).
Earlier this year, Greensmith Energy worked with Contour Global — the island's sole power producer — to reimagine the island's grid to incorporate more renewable generation.
The island had previously relied on generation from 14 megawatts of heavy fuel engines, 3 megawatts of diesel backup engines, a small lead-acid battery system, and 11 megawatts of wind generation to meet the annual demand of 110,000 megawatt-hours. In March, Wärtsilä deployed a 6-megawatt/6-megawatt-hour lithium-ion battery storage system along with GEMS to control all of the Contour Global's generation assets.
Since being installed last March, GEMS has been able to deliver significant benefits to Bonaire. Wind curtailment has been reduced significantly, and today wind provides as much as 33 percent of the island's energy. In addition, engine fuel consumption has been reduced by 5 percent and carbon emissions are down 8 percent.
Narminio says that Contour now has plans to add a solar PV plant to the island's grid in early 2020. The result will be days when the island runs on 100 percent renewable energy. (greentechmedia)
Countries Moving Toward a Green Hydrogen Economy
If number of Titbits posts is anything to go by, levels of interest in hydrogen solutions is increasing. These countries are likely to be the leading players:
Australia has had an almost negligible presence in green hydrogen markets to date. But it is looking to step up its participation considerably as a way of replacing fossil fuel exports using the country's plentiful renewable energy resources.
Canada sees potential in future green hydrogen markets, not just as a producer of the gas, based on abundant renewable resources, but also as a manufacturer of fuel cells. Ballard Power Systems made headlines last year when Chinese conglomerate Weichai Power invested $163 million, buying a 19.9 percent stake in the business.
Along with electric vehicles, Beijing sees green hydrogen as a potential way of decarbonizing transportation, WoodMac's Gallagher said. The country's targets include 5,000 fuel-cell vehicles by 2020 and 1 million by 2030.
September saw the country deploying its first hydrogen-powered passenger bus, and this month the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region committed €200 million toward 1,000 hydrogen vehicles and 15 electrolyzers.
The country, already a front-runner in hydrogen technology development, is aiming to up its game with plans for 20 research labs, with a total budget of €100 million, being unveiled over the summer.
The country leads the way in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle development thanks to the efforts of auto makers such as Toyota and Honda.
And policymakers are keen to stimulate green hydrogen as an alternative to liquefied natural gas, which Japan imports more of than any other country.
Norway has vast potential to create hydrogen from hydropower and is pioneering the use of fuel cells in ferries.
South Korea's ambitious hydrogen rollout plans, which include getting 850,000 fuel-cell vehicles on the road by 2030, up from 3,000 this year.
U.K. is looking to renewable hydrogen as a way to reduce gas imports and help decarbonize the heating sector at the same time.
Last month, the U.K. government unveiled a £12 billion plan to use 4 gigawatts of offshore wind for renewable hydrogen production in the early 2030s.
California's interest in hydrogen is driven partly by aggressive decarbonization targets, including phasing out all diesel or natural-gas-powered buses by 2040, and partly by the presence of some of the industry's most high-profile technology developers. (greentechmedia)
Jane Fonda gets arrested for climate protest, plans to do it again
Jane Fonda has joined many a protest in her eight decades on God's green earth. She has marched with working mothers, supported the Black Panthers, and sat on an anti-aircraft gun in Vietnam. Now, the star of Barbarella, Monster-In-Law, and dozens more movies, TV shows, and exercise videos is lending her voice and influence in a new way to an old cause: climate change.
For the next 13 Fridays, the 81-year-old Academy Award winner will demonstrate on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to ask lawmakers to put an end to fossil fuel drilling. She'll have to stop protesting in December so she can start filming the seventh season of Grace and Frankie, her Netflix comedy series.
Fonda is calling the protests "Fire Drill Fridays," and they're like a combination of Swedish activist Greta Thunberg's Fridays for Future protests and the activist group Extinction Rebellion's civil disobedience. Fonda says she plans to protest each week until she is arrested. (grist)
Tesla helps you make it through the smoke
Californian Tesla Models X and S owners are rejoicing at their choice of cars right now. These models come with an air filtration feature called the 'Bioweapon Defense Mode,' which is proving very useful during the ongoing wildfires in the Western U.S. State.
Tesla states that when it is working at full capacity, the Tesla Model X's Bioweapon Defense Mode is "100 times more effective than premium automotive filters."
Seemingly, the HEPA air filter system removes "99.97% of fine particulate matter and gaseous pollutants, as well as bacteria, viruses, pollen, and mold spores."
Tesla owners have been posting videos on Twitter and online, as their Teslas drive through some areas with black smoke, and raging fires. (see HERE)

The Southeast Corridor route was selected from several options as the result of a study completed in 2002 – referred to as a Tier I study – that identified the need, as well as a vision, for higher-speed passenger rail service in the region.
Two of the rail segments critical to improving the Southeast Corridor are in North Carolina: Charlotte to Raleigh and Raleigh to Richmond.
A Tier II environmental study followed on the Charlotte-to-Raleigh segment that, when completed and approved by the Federal Railroad Administration, cleared the way for NCDOT to apply for and receive a $520 million grant in 2010 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The grant was used to fund the Piedmont Improvement Program, a series of projects to improve safety and add capacity to the railroad.
Completed in August 2017, safety improvements involved building bridges for trains to cross over or under vehicular traffic and closing some railroad crossings. NCDOT also built roads and parallel railroad tracks along parts of the corridor that move freight and passengers through the heart of the state.
Improvements also involved adding up to two daily passenger-train round trips between Charlotte and Raleigh – making a total of five round trips daily. An additional round trip is expected to be added in May 2018.
Other work involved improving stations and equipment to allow for additional passenger trips between the two cities.
A significant study of the second segment between Raleigh and Richmond – the Southeast High-Speed Rail Tier II Final Environmental Impact Statement Raleigh to Richmond Study – verified CSXT's former Seaboard Air Line Railroad (S-Line) as the best route for higher-speed passenger rail, between the two cities, and included preliminary designs for construction.
The S-Line corridor runs from Raleigh to Wake Forest to Henderson on to Richmond. The rail line is removed from Norlina to Petersburg, Va., while the rail line between Raleigh to Norlina is an active line.
A Record of Decision documenting the Federal Railroad Administration's approval of study findings was signed March 24, 2017.
With the Record of Decision signed, NCDOT is now working to identify funding sources for final design, land acquisitions, construction and service implementation.
The completion of the Tier II Final Environmental Impact Statement Raleigh to Richmond study and preliminary design process has put the corridor on a firm footing to apply for federal funding or public-private partnerships, should either become available, and matching state funds can be identified.
Once the rail line is restored and built to standards needed for higher-speed trains, the rail line would offer a faster and more direct route north and would help alleviate congestion.

An oil industry insider uncovers a devastating public health disaster, as the industry fights to silence the victims and races towards historic drilling expansion plans set to begin in early 2019.
The Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010 was the world's worst offshore accident. The resulting oil spill threatened the lives of six million people and contaminated 68,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico. During the spill, officials began reporting that the oil was disappearing and in the months and years after the disaster the world has been led to believe that the cleanup was a success and life is back to normal. An oil field insider knew the official story was suspect and began to investigate. What he finds is a far different story. Personal stories of Gulf Coast families and communities suffering chronic illness, disease and premature death are too numerous to ignore. In an unprecedented experiment on a human population, millions of gallons of untested chemicals were sprayed onto hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic crude oil to 'clean-up' the spill. The chemicals made the oil vanish from sight, but leading toxicology and medical experts describe how it made its way into the environment and human bodies, wreaking havoc. Uncovered government documents reveal that the toxicity of the chemical dispersant was known before use, and studies show that the oil industry's only 'clean-up' tool for oil disasters creates a substance 52 times more toxic than oil alone.
Interviews with high-ranking insiders, expose how the spill response was controlled by profit and public relation concerns over public health. This cooperation between industry and government created and then concealed a massive human health crisis. Healthcare for chemical exposure from the spill has been blocked to protect the industry while coastal communities are ravaged by chemical illnesses, cancers, and deaths. The cover-up has been successful, and a dangerous precedent has been set for the use of toxic dispersants in all future oil spills; ports around the world are stocked and pre-approved for deployment. Hiding this catastrophe has paved the way for the 2018 Trump administration's recent announcement of the largest offshore oil development plan in fossil fuel history. Implementation of the plan begins in early 2019.

The Lockheed 1011 registered A6-BSM, operated by Star Jet and chartered by Olympic Airlines, arrived on 4 July 2005 at Terminal 1 at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. Departure was delayed because the forward hold door could not be closed. A mechanic tried to close the door manually with a hammer and a chuck. Some passengers, worried about the apparent state of the cabin and the noise, asked to disembark, and this led to a mass movement. The airplane took finally off at 16h17. Shortly after departure the crew noticed problems with engine number 3. The captain requested the SEVERE DAMAGE procedure and returned to the airport. The French Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile (BEA) investigated the incident. BEA found out that the aircraft suffered from many problems, such as leaking fuel, malfunctioning safety features and lacking maintenance. The flight crew was not properly licensed, the captain was too old to fly in Europe. The Lockheed Tristar was a flying coffin.

How the Pandemic Transformed Our Approach to Employee Engagement
The drivers of engagement never changed--but everything else did.
By Raphael Crawford-Marks, Founder and CEO of Bonusly
If we've learned anything about the world of work over the past two years, it's that engagement means more than just liking your job. Ultimately, it's the emotional commitment a person feels to their work, colleagues, and employer. We've seen this amplified and exposed more than ever under the pressure of a global pandemic.
The drivers of engagement have remained remarkably steady over the years. They're determined by the degree to which a person's work fills them with a sense of purpose, progress, and belonging. Yet almost every other condition of the modern workforce has changed.
Today, the ways that employers can positively influence employee engagement are entirely different than they were even two years ago.
Organic engagement is passé
Research shows that positive interactions are one of the most influential factors in helping employees feel a sense of belonging at work. In pre-pandemic days, proximity made organic interactions easier. Think about how natural it was to ask about someone's weekend, talk about a shared interest, or give a compliment in passing.
Today, being separated physically doesn't mean that has to disappear. It just means we have to be more intentional about making those interactions happen. The key is creating opportunities for employees to interact in a positive way that scales virtually. This is easier said than done. Sometimes, creating opportunities for engagement that are inclusive, decentralized, and feel organic can seem at odds with one another in a virtual setting.
So how can employers provide the tools employees need to feel engaged? It comes down to two things: recognition and feedback.
Effective recognition is essential
When recognition is done well, it gives employees a sense of purpose and shows them that their work is impactful. When it's tied to the objectives and core values of the company, it's even better. At Bonusly, we see these results daily. Our peer-to-peer recognition platform enables teammates to share visible recognition tied to our company values, which are connected to a monetary reward. Encouraging this recognition among employees contributes to a sense of belonging by fostering positive interactions that are harder to come by in our current digital landscape.
For a recognition system to be effective, it has to be timely, frequent, specific, and aligned with core values and objectives. It should also be inclusive to all employees, meaning that remote employees have just as much of an opportunity to receive it as those that are hybrid or on-site full time.
Engaging feedback
When it comes to feedback, it must be regular, relevant, and given at an appropriate time. Positive feedback doesn't always have to be given publicly, but some amount of visibility is good. In fact, research shows that when employees see other people getting recognized, it affects their engagement as well.
On the other hand, constructive feedback should always be addressed one-on-one, in as high-fidelity a setting as is possible. In-person is ideal, but video conferencing is more often the realistic option these days. It should also come from a place of caring deeply about a person's success and humbly sharing your perspective. Ultimately, if you're not sharing this feedback because you think it might help the person make improvements, you shouldn't be sharing it at all.
The bottom line? Show you care
There's no denying that keeping engagement high in our current environment is challenging. And the answer isn't as easy as getting everyone back to the office as soon as possible. It's not where we are that affects engagement, but what we do.
I predict that, eventually, we'll all embrace hybrid and remote work while recognizing that some amount of in-person face time is valuable. Until then, all we can do as employers is take the time to show employees that we care about them.
All managers and leaders should find ways to show their employees that their lives, concerns, challenges, and what they bring to the company are important. When we were all in the same office, we got some of that easily. Now, it's just something for which we have to work harder.


362 The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. The biblical account expresses this reality in symbolic language when it affirms that "then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Man, whole and entire, is therefore willed by God.
The Catholic Church teaches that the soul is immortal because God breathed the breath of life into the man.
My argument here is that, if God created the man in His likeness and breathed His life into the man, it would mean that man or the soul was created to be immortal, just like God. If this is true, then it would mean that even God himself cannot reverse the immortality that was imparted into the man!
According to Catholicism, is God able to annihilate the soul? Can God make the soul vanish forever?
Some have held that God, in giving existence to creatures, acted from natural necessity. Were this true, God could not annihilate anything, since His nature cannot change. But, as we have said above, such an opinion is entirely false, and absolutely contrary to the Catholic faith, which confesses that God created things of His own free-will, according to Ps. 134:61: "Whatsoever the Lord pleased, He hath done." Therefore that God gives existence to a creature depends on His will; nor does He preserve things in existence otherwise than by continually pouring out existence into them, as we have said. Therefore, just as before things existed, God was free not to give them existence, and not to make them; so after they are made, He is free not to continue their existence; and thus they would cease to exist; and this would be to annihilate them.
In other words, Aquinas believes that since God creates things because he wants to, and because he loves them, we must believe that it was possible for him not to give things (including the soul) existence, and similarly at least theoretically possible for God to fail to continue them in existence.
Some of those things which God does in creatures occur in accordance with the natural course of things; others happen miraculously, and not in accordance with the natural order, as will be explained. Now whatever God wills to do according to the natural order of things may be observed from their nature; but those things which occur miraculously, are ordered for the manifestation of grace, according to the Apostle, "To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit, unto profit" (1 Cor. 12:7); and subsequently he mentions, among others, the working of miracles.
Now the nature of creatures shows that none of them is annihilated. For, either they are immaterial, and therefore have no potentiality to non-existence; or they are material, and then they continue to exist, at least in matter, which is incorruptible, since it is the subject of generation and corruption.2 Moreover, the annihilation of things does not pertain to the manifestation of grace; since rather the power and goodness of God are manifested by the preservation of things in existence. Wherefore we must conclude by denying absolutely that anything at all will be annihilated.
If God annihilates something, he will do it either (a) as part of the natural course of things, or else (b) as a miracle, to display his power or for some other teaching purpose.
But in nature, we see that no created entity is annihilated in the natural course of things. Either they are material, and the matter constituting them continues in existence even after they die or are worn down to nothing; or else they are immaterial, in which case (since they are pure form with no accident) it is impossible for them to fail to exist.
for you would not fashion what you hate.
Thus, since God does not annihilate anything either in the natural course of events or as a miracle, we must believe that nothing at all—including the soul—is ever in fact annihilated.
1 Psalm 134 in the Septuagint, 135 in the Hebrew numbering.
2 That is, Thomas claims, because beings are generated out of matter, and they degenerate and decay (they are corrupted) back into matter, the matter itself is not corruptible. Matter can be formed into new entities, and these entities can decay back into matter, but the matter itself is not created nor destroyed—it is not corruptible.
Making a distinction between a mortal thing and to annihilate something.
With the former, a mortal thing can be killed, made to die, die, with the latter, an annihilated thing is reduced to nothing.
From a Catholic perspective, to create means to call [a being] into existence out of nothing.
CCC IN BRIEF 318 No creature has the infinite power necessary to "create" in the proper sense of the word, that is, to produce and give being to that which had in no way possessed it (to call into existence "out of nothing") (cf DS 3624).
Thus the reverse action, the opposite of create is annihilate and not kill/make to die.
CCC IN BRIEF 320 God created the universe and keeps it in existence by his Word, the Son "upholding the universe by his word of power" (Heb 1:3), and by his Creator Spirit, the giver of life.
Thus from Catholic teaching and Sacred Scripture, ALL creation, the human soul included, would go back to the nothingness from which it was called if God so wished and withdrew his upholding power.
1. cf. God upholds and sustains creation, CCC 301 and Relation of God to the Universe | New Advent.
The soul, as the OP pointed out, is immortal, and made so from the very first moment of its existence when created by God. Thus the immortality of the soul is a natural property of the soul in the image of its Creator, again as correctly stated by the OP.
What is the answer if the OP's question is understood as, [I]f God created the soul immortal, can God kill it?
Nm 23:19 (RSVCE) God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it?
Will souls - accurately the whole person, body and soul - be tormented forever or be annihilated?
I am not sure I can present another answer if this one does not suffice.
If God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life, then the reasoning is faulty that projects God 'as unfair, mean, sadistic, to torture' souls forever in hell.
Quite frankly, the inspiration behind those wanting personal annihilation should they of their own volition fail to attain eternal life, is the same inspiration, barring illness, that's behind suicide. Akin to 'taking the ball and going home'.
What about the second death that scripture speaks about?
The linked passage above equates that to [being thrown into] 'the lake of fire' and 'one's name not being written in the book of life' i.e. not having 'eternal life'.
While angels and human souls - rational spiritual beings - have a natural immortality, God called them - angels and men - and willed that they, cooperating with him, would attain to supernatural eternal life, i.e. share in his own life, drawing from it. The absence of this life is the second and eternal death.
Jesus makes it very clear in making known in Rev 14 that in the smoke of their torment will ascend for ever and ever in the presence of the holy angels and Himself.
Furthermore, according to Isaiah 6:24, He will allow His people to visit/view the eternal fire, after He creates the new heaven and new earth, All flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against Me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
This indicates that their worm – eternal soul never ceases existence.
The devil (once a beautiful Holy angel) attempted to take over God, His creation and corrupted mankind in the process. God will ensure that those that went against Him (and His Word) , will reap the eternal destruction. You are either for Him, or against Him, regardless what anyone on the internet claims. Jesus said it Himself, through His Word.
Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
This is the way it is, become entrenched in Him and His Sprit, live according to His Word regardless what today's society claims or thinks. Seek Him and He will enlighten you through His Word, He will give you the Peace that passes all understanding. You will be amazed and gain understanding. He will put your mind to rest.

Under the Fifth Motor Insurance Directive, the UK was required to remove the £300 property damage excess which applied under the 1999 Uninsured Drivers' Agreement between the Secretary of State for Transport and the Motor Insurers' Bureau by 11 June 2007. On 7 November 2008 a supplementary agreement was entered into, removing the excess from the latter date.
The MIB has now made arrangements with the Secretary of State in respect of property damage claims arising on or after 11 June 2007 and before 7 November 2008 which would otherwise be subject to the excess.
Where a claim has previously been settled subject to the excess, MIB will reimburse the claimant if requested unless the money has been recovered by a different route. No additional payment will be made in respect of legal costs. The file will be reviewed if the MIB is contacted. In respect of claims not yet paid, no excess will be deducted.

Health experts around the world have noticed an increased in childhood obesity and other health related problems in children these days. Improper diet and the lack of regular physical exercise have contributed greatly to this. They spend hours each day watching television and playing video games. Children are also most likely to eat junk foods and refrain from engaging in physical activities because of this.
When I got satellitestarinternet.com the first thing I wanted to do was plan my upcoming summer vacation. I know it's a long time from now but I wanted to get a jump on it so I could make it the best trip of my life. Since I'm a teacher I have about 2 months per year that I get to do whatever want so this year I decided to do the only logical thing and travel all around Europe. To be honest I'd been waiting until I found a husband to do this with but I'm 31 now and I don't want to wait forever to do something I'm really excited to do! I love being a free spirit but what good is it if I'm too scared to actually follow my dreams, you know? So I'm going to start in Rome and then head all over Italy – from there I'm going to fly to Paris and take trains to Belgium and eventually on into London. I've never been anywhere so I've got a lot of ground to cover!
Most entrepreneurs know that investing in the right equipments is essential in the daily operation of their business. For a manufacturing company, for instance, using the wrong kinds of equipments will greatly affect the quality of products that will be produced. They are most likely to lose customers if they cannot produce high quality products. If the quality of their products is inconsistent, customers would think twice about patronizing them and opt instead to purchase another product that is manufactured by a business competitor.
Applying for extra funds can be an overwhelming experience, but those who are planning a large purchase or are simply unable to make ends meet, it can be a great option to get some cash. When planning for a big expenditure, individuals can examine the financial situation and determine how much could reasonably be paid back over the terms of the loan. Receiving extra funds with no ability to repay the cash can be problematic, as missed payments can be detrimental to a person's credit score.
Before heading in to fill out the paperwork, applicants can also do some research at home. Learning more about loans, the words that are typically found in the terms of the loan, and going through the process step by step can help reduce the amount of stress involved when actually obtaining the loan. The terms should be perused carefully to avoid unexpected fees and high interest rates.
Whenever there is an expected crowd, it is always good to be able to take control of them before something happens that may create chaos. Take for example a rally. There should be a limited space for people to come together and that space limit should be visible by having a certain barricade. It is also used to keep out people to reach certain things like that in a museum. If you want people to follow a line you set up stanchions to guide them. Banks and museums often go for the velvet rope material for class and elegance.
Fashionable individuals usually get their ideas from various sources such as fashion magazines, television and online fashion websites. All the latest in fashion are posted there. People have the option to imitate the style that they see or create a unique style inspired by what they see or read. Watching fashion shows is also a great way to know the latest in the fashion world. Established and emerging fashion designers would showcase their latest collections. They also give their opinions on what they think would be the trends in the future. They do not only feature fashionable clothes but also the latest in accessories such as belts, bags, shoes, hats, and even cheap eyeglasses. The clothes and accessories featured in these fashion shows usually influence how people would dress up in the coming months.
Typhoon Sendong or Washi hit several regions in Mindanao on December 17. According to the news, death toll from Philippine storm Sendong rises to 652. Hundreds are still missing as rescue workers look for bodies in the Philippine Sea off Mindanao Island. Officials say contributing factors on the death toll include things like lack of a flood warning and darkness.
Below is the aerial view of Cagayan de Oro City during the wrath of Typhoon Sendong.
I was browsing online when I saw a couple of yellow diamonds weddings rings that are being sold by online jewellery stores. I have read that they are becoming a popular choice amongst couples who want a more unique and vibrant looking wedding ring. I must agree that they do look unique and different from the usual diamond wedding rings that we normally see. They can also be made in designs that make the color stand out more. I guess this is why there are a lot of jewellery stores nowadays that offer them as well because of the high demand for this type of wedding rings.
Big companies have to think of creative ways to make souvenir items to give their valued clients during the holidays. In the years past it has always been pens, writing pads and some goodies.
Of course, there will always be those shirts and caps. Those are a bit expensive, though. Some companies even give umbrellas, keychains, pen holders and fridge magnets. Since that is a part of their company promotion, they don't see it as an expense rather an investment since they are advertising their company in so many ways.


Craigieburn locals can now enjoy swimming and leisure facilities that are among the most modern and innovative in Australia thanks to a $3 million investment from the Victorian Government.
The opening of the Splash Aqua Park and Leisure Facility in October was a landmark event for the area.
The complex includes a 50 metre pool, two waterslides named Turbo Twist and The Viper, children's play and learn-to-swim areas, a 24/7 gym, crèche facilities and activities rooms.
The café is run in conjunction with Kangan Institute and provides a real life work environment for hospitality students.
The modern design makes it easy, accessible, and safe for users.
And locals have indeed been using it. In its first week of operation more than 15,000 people went through the doors!
At $32.5 million, it's the largest community infrastructure project undertaken by the Hume City Council… and was jointly funded by the council, Victorian and Federal governments, Stockland and Lend Lease.
During construction it created 150 local jobs, and now it's open it has created 140 ongoing jobs for locals.
The Department of Health and Human Services worked closely with Hume City Council on all design aspects of the facility to ensure it was modern, accessible and safe.
Importantly, the layout makes it easier for all patrons and staff to monitor the area.
The department also worked closely with Hume to deliver the Healthy Choices program at the cafe - limiting unhealthy foods and providing more healthy food choices.
Splash is part of the broader Craigieburn Park development, which will support this rapidly growing area of Melbourne.
The park will provide a hub for local community groups and organisations, and a sport and active recreation facility for the whole community.

WATCH: Couple Proposes to Each Other - In the Same Way - At the Same Time
posted by Julie - Feb 20, 2018
When Tori Monaco and her newly minted fiancé, Berkley Cade, met online and started dating a year ago they immediately knew they had found something special in each other. Monaco, a senior at the University of Texas at Austin from New Braunfels, Texas, told BuzzFeed News she immediately saw a future with Cade soon after they met.
"We are each other's first same-sex relationship, so we were blown away by our ability to connect with each other immediately and find the happiness we had been looking for," she said.
Four months ago, Cade enlisted Monaco's best friend to go ring shopping casually. They found the perfect ring. Cade, who is stationed in the Air Force in Texas, and her mom, Kristy, immediately started thinking of ways she could propose.
She and her mother decided it would be perfect if she proposed while the couple was visiting Cade's family in Washington this month. The idea was to do it during a game of Pictionary. So, imagine Kristy's surprise when Monaco called her to say that SHE had just bought a ring and wanted to propose on their trip to Washington, the exact same time as Cade. Luckily, Kristy was quick on her feet, and she immediately told Monaco she thought it would be a great idea.
"[Kristy] said she was planning a fun game night already, so I could do it then so Berk wouldn't be suspicious," Monaco said. "I said great, I could incorporate it into charades, and she said how about Pictionary!"
That's right — Kristy knew about both planned proposals, and set it up so both women planned to propose to each other in the exact same way. Monaco said her future mother-in-law told her she'd had "sleepless nights" planning it all.
"When in the universe will there ever be two lesbians that want to propose at the same time, the same day, the same place, and the same way? I have to get it right," Kristy said, according to Monaco.
So when the big game night came, both women were ready to propose, having no idea they were getting a surprise as well. It made for an incredibly special moment. WATCH:

You will find many standard features such as the beautiful cabinets, a modern kitchen with refrigerator and range cooktop, and a variety of sleeping accommodations, depending upon your family's needs.
Once you lay your eyes on the Jay Flight SLX travel trailer by Jayco you will be asking yourself, "Why didn't I buy one sooner?"
