Moda Center First Arena to Earn LEED O+M Platinum Certification
August 29, 2019 Portland's Moda Center is the first arena to receive LEED O+M (v4.1) Platinum Certification, a major milestone in the greening of sports. The facility is part of a 30-acre sports and entertainment district on the east bank of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. It includes the 19,393-seat Moda Center and 12,888-seat Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Trail Blazers and Rose Quarter's Chris McGowan says, "We are very proud to be the first existing professional sports arena to receive LEED Platinum certification. Nine years ago, we were the first existing arena to achieve LEED Gold status, and we continue to innovate and develop our sustainable processes and procedures to provide a healthy, sustainable arena for our community." The green effort includes turning food waste into soil used throughout the Rose Quarter campus, contributing to the one million pounds of material diverted from landfills annually. After every event, crews sort through every bag of waste and put materials into appropriate streams. (Source: ConnectCRE, 28 Aug., 2019)

ARENA Supports Woody Biomass Renewable Bitumen Project (Int'l)
ARENA,Global Ecofuel
In New South Wales, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) reports it has awarded $350,000 to two companies -- Global Ecofuel and Boral Timber -- to investigate the production of renewable bitumen and diesel from sawmill woody biomass waste.
Under the $842,000 study, Boral Timber, a hardwood and softwood supplier, will explore the technical and financial viability of establishing a biorefinery near the Herons Creek sawmill. If constructed, the proposed biorefinery could cost around $35 million and could convert up to 50,000 tpy of waste sawmill residue into transport-grade renewable diesel and bitumen.

Aussie Micro-Algae Bio-crude Specialist Goes Broke (Int'l)
Muradel
In the Land Down Under, Whyalla, South Australia based microalgae - advanced bio-crude startup company Mursadel is reported to have been placed in voluntary administration -- Chapter 11 bankruptcy court protection.
Muradel developed Green2Black, a proprietary way of producing biofuel from biosolids, algae and other sustainable feedstocks. The company's $10.5 million demonstration plant in Whyalla in a bid to commercialize the technology which received $4.5 million in grant funding from the Federal Government's Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and more than $500,000 in state and council funds. Unfortunately, production costs were prohibitive - the pilot plant produced oil from micro-algae at about $9.90 a litre against a projected cost of less than $1 a litre. The company also built five algae ponds to support research.
The business was established in 2010 by the University of Adelaide, Murdoch University and majority shareholder SQC Pty Ltd, which is solely funded by Aban Australia Pty Ltd. (part of the Ausker Group of Companies).(Source: Daily Telegraph, The Advertiser, Others, 9 April, 2019) Contact: Muradel, +61 8 8645 5683, www.muradel.com.au

NRDC Calls Coal vs. Renewables Political Divide Fake News (Opinions, Editorials & Asides)
The following is from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC): "New polls show that all Americans -- Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike -- want to close the book on our dirtiest fossil fuel. From a political standpoint, defending coal consumption is harder than ever. Coal is far and away the dirtiest fossil fuel there is in terms of carbon emissions and regular old air pollution (and its messy mining practices certainly aren't helping its reputation). And when you factor in health care costs, environmental costs, and costs to local communities in the form of reduced tourism and property values, coal is also a real loser economically speaking -- especially in relation to natural gas and renewables like wind and solar.
"Still, lawmakers from coal-producing states and members of the current presidential administration have long attempted to justify their defense of coal on the grounds that it's more than a fossil fuel -- it's a way of life. This has been a reasonably effective tactic, up to a point. If you're trying to neutralize the arguments of those who want to see coal phased out of the U.S. energy diet, the best way to do so is to play the culture card: Point to all the people who rely on the coal industry for a regular paycheck and appeal to their sense of history and heritage.
"But this last line of defense -- 'Renewables may be all the rage in San Francisco or Seattle or wherever, but where I come from, the people still love coal and always will' -- may not be effective for much longer.
Two recently released reports show how public sentiment regarding coal and renewables has shifted dramatically in recent years. One of them looks at attitudes at the national level; the other explores them in the historically coal-friendly state of Ohio. Both spell trouble for the future of an industry that's already, by nearly all accounts, on its last legs.
"The University of Michigan's National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE) is a biannual survey of public opinion surrounding issues of climate and energy policy, providing perhaps the best snapshot we could ever hope for in regard to how Americans stand on subjects like coal, renewables, climate science, geoengineering, a carbon tax, and a host of other climate-related topics. Late last year, to commemorate its 10th anniversary of publication, NSEE released a trove of reports that illustrate just how much public opinion has changed on these matters over the past decade.
"One of them in particular should strike fear into the hearts of the coal industry's dead-enders and spark joy in the hearts of the rest of us. It shows that between 2016 and 2017, the number of Americans who strongly support a coal phaseout increased 11 percentage points, from 18 pct to 29 pct. In that same one-year period, the number of Americans who oppose a phaseout fell by the same amount. Remarkably, in states with active coal mines, strong support for a phaseout rose even more: by 13 points. Just as remarkably, this trend seemed to cut across political lines, rising among Democrats, independents, and Republicans. Among the last group, strong support for a phaseout actually increased by 5 percentage points, whereas the number of Republicans who strongly oppose it fell by 14 points.
"Another NSEE report provides a perfect complement. As more Americans announce their willingness to say goodbye to coal, they're also saying hello to the opportunity presented by renewables. This report reveals that 88 pct of Americans are in favor of increasing the use of solar energy in their state, and 82 pct feel the same about wind energy. Here, too, there's real bipartisan buy-in, with 79 pct of Republicans getting behind solar and 72 pct getting behind wind. What's more, the numbers show that a sizable majority of Republican, Democratic, and independent respondents support requiring and/or subsidizing renewable energy production at the state level. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans surveyed -- 64 pct -- said they like the idea of a state renewable energy requirement; even more amazingly, 65 pct of them said they have no problem with boosting the nascent renewables sector through subsidies.
"But an even more eye-opening poll is making news too. An organization with a somewhat eyebrow-raising name, the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum, released the results of a survey last week suggesting that support for renewables is no longer a politically exploitable issue. In a survey of 400 Ohioans who self-identify as conservative, two-thirds of respondents said they believe their state needs to diversify its energy portfolio by having at least half of its energy come from renewable sources. Nearly the same percentage of respondents said they were more likely to support a politician who voted for or otherwise expressed support for renewable energy or energy efficiency legislation. "Ohio, just as a reminder, ranks 11th in coal production among U.S. states, and its coal industry supports about 33,000 jobs. It also ranks fourth among states in coal consumption.
"For too long, it's been too easy for lawmakers and administration officials to claim that by kowtowing to the coal industry's wishes, they were simply doing right by voters. It's getting harder. The gap between the interests of average Americans and the interests of coal-company executives is getting wider every day. And solar and wind are wedging their way in.

ARENA Touts $7Mn Renewables, Grid Stability Initiative (Int'l)
In the Land Down Under, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is reporting the launch of a $7 million funding initiative designed to test and prove how renewable energy technologies can better provide grid stability and security services.
States like South Australia and Victoria have begun ramping up their renewable energy capacity, and grid managers are beginning to focus on integrating energy storage -- i.e. the mammoth Hornsdale Power Reserve, a 129 MWh Tesla lithium-ion energy storage facility in South Australia, which was turned on for the first time towards the end of 2017.
The new $7 million ($5.23 million US) in funding seeks to further develop new technologies that can provide grid stability and security services as well as support projects such as system strength provision, frequency control ancillary services (FCAS), fast frequency response (FFR), inertia provision and measurement, and other services that may enhance system security. The Hornsdale Wind Farm in South Australia was a beneficiary of funding from ARENA to trial frequency control ancillary services (FCAS) (as was the 168 MW Musselroe Wind Farm in Tasmania which is still underway) and is now registered for six of eight FCAS markets in Australia. The project will provide valuable insights into the cost-benefit of using pre-curtailment to provide FCAS services from a new technology source.

ARENA Foresees Tumbling Wind, Solar Costs (Int'l Report)
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar PV costs are expected to be halved from the current levels by 2020, undercutting, fossil fuels by generating in the range from 3 to 10 cents/kWh range. IRENA suggests this will be driven by rising investments in clean power projects, which will in turn cut the cost of energy for consumers.
ARENA predicted movements toward the "lowest costs yet" for both solar and wind power between now and 2020, with global average costs set to drop to between $0.06/kWh and $0.10/kWh for both wind and solar.

CaGBC Roadmap Recommends Energy Efficiency Retrofit Strategy (Ind. Report)
The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has released A Roadmap for Retrofits in Canada, a detailed recommendation for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from hospitals, universities and other large building accross Canada. The report provides recommendations to retrofit large buildings that will contribute to achieving a reduction in GHG emissions of at least 30 pct -- 12.5 million tonnes -- by 2030, with the potential to reach 51 pct -- 21.2 million tonnes. Among its key findings, the Roadmap concludes that:
Achieving a 30 pct or more reduction in building emissions by 2030 is achievable by focusing on a targeted number of buildings that have the greatest potential to reduce carbon;
Buildings including office buildings, shopping malls, universities, and arenas constructed between 1960 and 1979 across all provinces represent the age class with the largest opportunity for total carbon emissions reductions;
Alberta and Ontario currently emit the most carbon and therefore have the greatest potential for reducing emissions. This is due to the carbon intensity of Alberta's electricity grid and the number of large buildings in Ontario;
All provinces will need to prioritize recommissioning for large buildings -- between 25,000 and 200,000 sq.ft -- and deep retrofits for buildings over 35 years old in order to meet the target. These two actions will reduce emissions by a collective total of 4.1 MT CO2e, providing 62 pct of the reduction activity needed;
Fuel switching must be completed in 20 pct of buildings over 35 years old across Canada. Currently, fuel switching is particularly attractive in provinces with clean electricity grids such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. In these regions, significant effort should be put into increasing the adoption of efficient heat pump technology. This will reduce emissions by 1.6 MT CO2e, or 25 pct of the reduction activity needed;
In provinces with carbon intense electricity grids -- Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia -- 30 pct of buildings will need to use renewable energy in order to meet the target. This will cut emissions by 0.9 MT CO2e, representing 13 pct of the reduction activity needed.
The report provides the following policy recommendations for the Federal Government: include a GHG metric in Canada's future retrofit building code; develop regional retrofit roadmaps; prioritize investments in scalable retrofit projects; and supporting mandatory energy benchmarking. http://www.cagbc.org/retrofitroadmap.

Rent a Dumpster in 95123 Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the 95123 dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in 95123 the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
The smallest size roll off dumpster normally available is 10 yards. This container will carry about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is approximately equal to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is a great option for small projects, for example small home cleanouts.
Other examples of projects that a 10 yard container would work well for include: A garage, shed or loft cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A little kitchen or bathroom remodeling project Concrete or dirt removal Getting rid of trash Bear in mind that weight constraints for the containers are enforced, thus exceeding the weight limit will incur additional costs. The normal weight limitation for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
Most dumpster rental businesses in 95123 have straightforward policies that will help you realize just how much it costs to rent equipment. Following this advice can help you avoid hidden fees when renting a dumpster in 95123.
Many businesses will charge you extra for keeping the dumpster longer than concurred. Make sure you plan ahead so you can keep the dumpster for a suitable timeframe. You must also ask about additional fees so that you'll understand how much extra days cost.
The amount of time that you need to rent a dumpster in 95123 typically depends on the type of job you're working on. A little endeavor, such as a basement clean out, will likely take a couple of days to complete while larger projects, like constructing a brand new house, could take several months.
Most dumpster rental businesses in 95123 are happy to adjust their schedules to fit your needs. Keep in mind, however, that the longer you keep the dumpster, the more you will have to cover it.
When you contact dumpster rental businesses in 95123, ask them how long their durations are. Many will allow you choices such as several days or one week, but there are usually longer periods accessible, too.
You must also ask how much the businesses bill for extra time. That way, you understand how much it costs to maintain the dumpster for a couple of extra days if needed.
Most residential areas permit roll off dumpsters. When you have a driveway, then you can certainly normally park the dumpster there so you do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by placing it on the road.
Some projects, though, will require placing the dumpster on the road. If this applies to you personally, then you should speak to your city to find out whether you need to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. In most cases, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a brief quantity of time. If you think you will need to be sure that it stays to the road for a number of weeks or months, though, you may need to get a license.
Contacting your local licenses and licensing office is generally advisable. Even supposing it's an unnecessary precaution, at least you will know that you simply are following the law.
5. Discover what services you get with your dumpster rental in 95123.
Most dumpster rental businesses in 95123 normally rent containers for a regular speed for 7 days, although most one-time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you call to allow the container, discussion with all the customer support representative about the amount of time you believe you'll need.
If it turns out that your job takes longer than you anticipated, merely call the dumpster business to describe. Most businesses will bill you on a per-day basis following your initial 7 days. It's important to communicate this added demand when you know you've it since most dumpster firms have a restricted number of bins that will already be reserved. Most businesses will work together with you to accommodate your extra rental time. Should you believe you'll want the dumpster for an extra week or more, ensure that you mention that; rates may change based on a longer time period.
Garbage removal vs dumpster rental in 95123 - Which is good for you?
If you have a job you are about to undertake at home, you might be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your rubbish and rubbish for you, or if you should only rent a dumpster in 95123 and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option if you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you also don't mind doing it yourself to save on work. Dumpsters also work well if you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Rolloffs generally begin at 10 cubic yards, so if you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for much more dumpster than you need.
Trash or crap removal makes more sense in case you prefer somebody else to load your old things. In addition, it works well if you prefer it to be taken away immediately so it's outside of your own hair or if you only have a few big items; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But in case you'd like your waste recycled, you might need to go about it in a slightly different manner. Waste in most temporary dumpsters is not recycled since the containers are so big and hold so much material.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental companies in 95123 have a wide variety of containers available, including those for recycling. These are typically smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
If you'd like to recycle, find out if the business you're working with uses single stream recycling (you do not have to sort the stuff) or if you'll need to form the recyclable material into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This can really make a difference in the variety of containers you need to rent.

Suspended McMaster profs appeal 2013 tribunal decision
5 professors who were suspended by a McMaster University tribunal will head to court to appeal the institution's decision. The 5 were suspended after the tribunal concluded that they had harassed other faculty members as part of an effort to force out Paul Bates, then the Dean of the DeGroote School of Business. The appeal process means that previously secret details of the tribunal have come to light, comprising 15,000 pages of documents that were filed with the Ontario Divisional Court. The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) will pay the legal costs of the appeal. Former CAUT Executive Director Jim Turk described the tribunal as "a staged trial ordered by the university under rules that violated every concept of natural justice in this country." McMaster spokesperson Andrea Farquhar said that the tribunal and its processes are clearly defined in university policies, and added that "throughout the hearing, there was considerable confidence in the process as it is laid out. We have tried to safeguard the interests of all players." The Hamilton Spectator has published a special report that includes documents, audio testimony, and updates on the suspended faculty members.

MacInnis, Angus Government
[ca. 1860-1997?]
This fonds consists of primarily of correspondence between members of the Woodsworth/MacInnis families, along with photographic material documenting extended family and some key events. James Shaver Woodsworth (J.S.) was a leader of the social democratic movement in the early 20th century and a co-founder of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) party in 1932, of which his daughter and son-in-law were also key figures. However the subject matter of most of this fonds is of a personal familial nature, rather than in-depth political discourse or strategizing. Included in this fonds are notes, manuscripts and letters, primarily written between himself and his wife, Lucy Staples Woodsworth during the years he was serving first as a clergyman through to his involvement and arrest at the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919, as well as an extended tour of Europe and Russia with Lucy in 1932. There are a few letters between J.S. and his children as they mature and pursue careers but even when J.S. ceases to be the primary author, there is news of him in the correspondence of Lucy up until his passing in 1942.
The bulk of content in this fonds consists of correspondence between Lucy Woodsworth and her daughter Grace Woodsworth MacInnis, although there are occasional letters to, from or between her other children Belva, Ralph, Charles, Bruce and Howard. The content of this material is primarily anecdotal as Lucy informs Grace of her day-to-day activities and meetings. There is some mention of her political activities and leanings - particularly of her attendance at a Women's International League conference in 1924 or in correspondence with Grace's husband, Angus MacInnis - but most letters contain news of friends and family, of health and daily activities.
Because many of these letters were originally assembled by Grace MacInnis herself, there is a subsection of correspondence between herself and Angus, from the very first days of their courtship through their combined political careers in Parliament and up until Angus's passing in 1964.

How does NumberGym Maths support the teaching of Mastery in Maths?

NumberGym's iPad apps for Bond Builder, Table Trainer and Mental Maths Challenge now support School Logins. We had some reports of poor performance accessing these products through the Puffin browser but the apps work perfectly.
We also provide 9 other iPad apps created from some of the challenges and games in The Number Gym. See our Apps page for more details.

I believe they can make a massive difference to maths teaching - if it's done properly and coordinated as a whole school with parental involvement.
The verdict from staff who explored NumberGym is 'fantastic', 'well-differentiated', 'attractive visuals', 'appropriately challenging', 'we love it', 'pupils prefer it to previous software used'.
The Number Gym is completely different and I was aware while using it with my pupils that not only did it make them think about the concepts they were working on, but it also enhanced their understanding.
I work with learners ranging from age 11 to adult and NumberGym seems to be one of the best, and widely age appropriate tools out there.
After 15 minutes I knew that NumberGym Maths was on a par with any of the best mathematics software I have seen over the past decade.
It is difficult to pick holes in this well-designed and fully accessibly software. In the hands of a good teacher it will help inspire and motivate children in mathematics.
