About Solarcollab
2 - 5 MW landowner and community owned
solar farms
Fast Track Investment Program
Denton, North Carolina
Solar Farms in Denton, North Carolina can now be owned by landowners and the local community.
Our 2 – 5 MW Fast Track Landowner and Community owned solar farm development program is for community members and landowners of Denton, North Carolina.
Our primary goal is to bring power, profits, and jobs back to the people who live and work in their communities. After carefully analyzing Federal Energy Regulation Committee guidelines, Solarcollab has identified a low cost, fast track model to develop, fund and build 2 – 5 MW solar farms across Davidson county, North Carolina.
Why only only 2 – 5 MW?
Primarily because we can get them constructed and interconnected to the grid in record time, at minimal cost, and with fewer regulatory requirements.
This solar energy investment program is completely unique… a first of its kind, developed by Solarcollab. The program is designed to allow landowners to earn income from leasing their land AND to also participate in the OWNERSHIP of the solar farm.
We are able to apply for rural grants that reduces the total cost of each solar farm… and we raise the money for each solar project on the Solarcollab Crowndfunding Investment Platform, selling shares of the Solar Power Plant to members of the local community. This is the first program of its kind that is designed to redistribute the profits of the venture back to the people where each solar project is located by crowdselling shares of ownership for each solar farm.
Four Easy Steps To Develop A Community Solar Farm
in Denton, North Carolina
Identify Land In Denton, North Carolina
Identify a minimum of 10 - 14 acres of land that are flat, clear and available. On average it takes between 5 - 7 acres per 1 MW.
Fill Out Our Host A Solar Farm Application Form
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill out our "Host a Solar Farm Application Form".
Solarcollab Approves and Coordinates Development
A Solarcollab project manager will review the application and contact the legal land owner to receive permission to begin the solar farm development process.
We Raise Funds On Our Investment Platform
Solarcollab registers the project with the US Securities and Exchange Commission so that we can begin the crowdfunding campaign.
What makes a good Solar Farm site location?
Solarcollab's Fast Track Landowner and Community Owned Solar Farm program in Denton, North Carolina leverages Fintech protocols on the blockchain that allows us to be able to develop these solar projects in a low cost model so that we can offer equity shares of the solar project to the landowner and local community. Profits that would normally go to a large corporation are now redirected back to the landowner and local community. Check to see if your land meets the following criteria:
Land located inDavidson County, North Carolina
You need at least 10+ acres of cleared unobstructed land.
Land should be within two miles of a utility sub-station.
Land should be flat with front road access.
Land should have no environmental zoning restrictions.
We are Democratizing Solar Farm Ownership!
Solarcollab raises the funds for your community solar farm on our crowd investment platform. For as little as $1 a share members of the local community can now actually buy stock in their community solar farm. The profits that the solar farm earns will be sent to their digital wallet on a quarterly basis.

These are the most common questions we receive about our 2 - 5 MW Fast Track Landowner and Community owned solar farm impact investment program for Denton, North Carolina.
How does a landowner earn money by hosting a solar farm?
There are two ways a landowner can earn money.
The traditional way is to lease the land to a solar project developer. In the USA, on average, a landowner earns between $400 - $1200 per year per acre depending on supply and demand and the geographical location. The national average is about ~$800 per year per acre.
There is a second way that a landowner can earn money. This way is what we call democratizing solar power farm ownership. Solarcollab has designed a digital peer to peer investment platform enabled by blockchain architecture and emerging Fintech protocols to drive the costs down along targeted points of the solar project value chain. Our fintech protocols, along with registering our solar energy project portfolios with the US securities and exchange commission will allow us to sell shares of the community solar project to the general public.
What is a solar land lease and how long is the contract?
Large scale solar projects, such as community solar and investor-owned solar systems on rural land, have expanded rapidly throughout the U.S. A solar land leases provide guaranteed lease payments to the landowner for the duration of the solar farm life while the land continues to appreciate. This is an excellent way to generate additional income on a piece of land while keeping the property in the family for the next generation. Typical land leases terms range for 10 - 25 years.
How long does it take to build a solar farm on a landowner's property?
The actual construction of the solar farm doesn't take that long to complete. Especially with our fast track community solar farm model where we develop 2 MW solar farms in short amount of time. Apply for construction permits, and arranging for the local utility purchase contract of the solar electricity is what can add to the timeline of the solar farm development process. Typically we the entire solar farm development process can take as little as six months and as long as three years. On average our community solar farm development process will take approximately 12 - 18 months.
What is the best kind of land to host a solar farm?
The ideal land profile to host a sola farm should meet the following criteria:
You need at least 10 - 14 acres of cleared unobstructed land.
Your Land should be within two miles of a utility sub-station.
Land should be flat with less than 5 degrees of slope.
Your land should be clear of any ponds, streams or creeks
Your land should have no environmental zoning restrictions.
I have land that meets the criteria to host a solar farm... how do I get started?
The entire process starts with filling out the "Host A Solar Farm Application Form" on this webpage. If you have any questions, register for our next Video Zoom Question and Answer session.
How does the community participate in owning parts of the solar farm?
Solarcollab has designed a digital peer to peer investment platform enabled by blockchain architecture and emerging Fintech protocols to drives our cost down along the entire solar energy development value chain. Each solar energy project that is presented on the Solarcollab Investment Platform will eventually be registered with the US Securities and Exchange commission.
In general, the term crowdfunding refers to any online-based, collective investment by multiple people (i.e. the crowd) in one specific project. Such projects can pursue a wide variety of goals: from the production of a music album, to the establishment of a company, or even the modernisation of outdated, inefficient heating systems. Project owners present their projects on an online platform using detailed descriptions, images and videos in order to solicit financial support from the general public. Individuals may allocate money to any project they wish to finance. Thus, only those ideas that were convincing and inspiring will be realised. Investors need neither know one another nor possess large amounts of capital. What connects individuals is the shared desire to achieve a specific goal.
How does crowdfunding work?
Our crowdfunding campaigns always start with a solar energy project that needs to be funded. Naturally, developing and constructing a solar farm requires significant capital. Solar project developers are now able to use new financial technology protocols such as the Solarcollab crowdfunding platform to raise funds in an easy low cost way to fund their solar farm projects. Individuals financially support the presented projects by investing a sum of their choosing. Investments for as little as $500 are possible to be invested in each solar farm project.
Projects are only successful once a certain funding threshold is reached. If not, the invested money is returned to the investor. Using the platform is free of charge for the investors. Platforms usually charge a 5-12% of the funding sum as a fee, which is payable by the project owners.
What makes crowdfunding so attractive?
Crowdfunding combines financing with positive publicity. On the one hand, it is an alternative or additional method of financing (when combined with bank loans, business angels, government subsidies and so on). By facing fewer bureaucratic obstacles, the project funding and development phase is significantly decreased in length. On the other hand, the crowd is a great multiplying factor in terms of public communication. The advertised project gains quick, widespread and sometimes even viral awareness, especially through the use of social media. Moreover, the feedback provided by the crowd has a different quality to that of a bank, because each investor has a stake in the success of the project. Furthermore, through crowdfunding the project owner builds up a customer base or can engage existing customers.
What are the different types of crowdfunding?
Within the crowdfunding market there are several different types of crowdfunding. The models can be distinguished as follows:
Equity based crowdfunding: the investor acquires shares in the project and benefits from its future revenues. (This type is often referred to as a crowd-investing). The actual financial transaction occurs via participation right (equity) or a subordinated loan (debt capital), resulting in a contractual relationship between investor and project owner.
Lending-based crowdfunding: investors offer the project initiator a loan, either with or without interest. Depending on the loan, this type can overlap with equity based crowd funding.
Reward-based crowdfunding: investors are not reimbursed for their investment. The investor receives token of appreciation in the form of a certificate or detailed description of the project's development. For film and music projects, possible rewards include a small role or even a private concert for investors.
Donation-based crowdfunding: investors make donations towards a specific project. As a counterpart to traditional charity organisations, this model bypasses high administration costs and represents are more transparent and direct channel through which to donate money.
Investors, donors and lenders should always be aware of the risks and disadvantages associated with crowdfunding. With regards to the first two models listed above, there is always a risk of a total loss of the investment. Especially with innovative ideas there exists a high risk of failure and not every project owner is a competent entrepreneur. The huge organisational effort accompanying a crowdfunding campaign should not be underestimated. There is no guarantee for success.
The Solarcollab crowdfunding platform is based on a combination of equity and lending-based crowdfunding. Unlike other platforms which focus solely on start-ups, investors on our platform finance solar projects independent of a company's increasing revenue or profits.

EQT Infrastructure
EQT Infrastructure announces a voluntary takeover bid for Solarpack, a Spanish renewable energy developer and owner of solar photovoltaic plants
#Solarpack
EQT Infrastructure announces a voluntary takeover bid for Solarpack, a developer and owner of solar photovoltaic plants, mainly active in Spain, Chile and India
EQT Infrastructure has signed irrevocable agreements with the Vendor Shareholders to sell their full stake of 50.957 percent in the context of the takeover bid
Earlier today, Veleta BidCo S.à r.l., a special purpose company indirectly wholly owned by the EQT Infrastructure V fund ("the Bidder" and "EQT Infrastructure", respectively) announced a voluntary takeover bid for 100 percent of the share capital of Solarpack Corporación Tecnológica, S.A. ("Solarpack" or the "Company"). Prior to the announcement, Beraunberri, S.L., Landa LLC and Burgest 2007, S.L. (the "Vendor Shareholders"), who jointly hold 50.957 percent stake in the Company, have signed irrevocable agreements with the Bidder under which they undertake to sell their full stake to the Bidder in the context of the takeover bid.
The consideration offered by the Bidder to all the shareholders of the Company is EUR 26.50 in cash per share, which represents a premium of approximately:
45.0 percent over the closing price of the shares of the Company on 15 June 2021
(EUR 18.28);
35.1 percent over the volume weighted average price of the shares of the Company during the three-months period ending on 15 June 2021 (EUR 19.62);
16.6 percent over the volume weighted average price of the shares of the Company during the six-months period ending on 15 June 2021 (EUR 22.73).
The offer will be conditional upon reaching a minimum acceptance level of 75 percent plus one share (including the shares owned by the Vendor Shareholders), as well as receipt of Spanish antitrust authorities' approval. The Bidder intends to seek the delisting of the Company's shares, subject to applicable regulatory approval and corporate consents and formalities.
Beraunberri, S.L. and Burgest 2007, S.L. have assumed a commitment by virtue of which they will invest in the Bidder if the takeover bid is successfully settled. In the event that the takeover bid is accepted by all the shareholders of Solarpack to which it is addressed, Beraunberri, S.L. and Burgest 2007, S.L. would hold, respectively, 5.2 percent and 3.0 percent of the share capital of the Bidder after settlement of the takeover bid and the contribution of the amounts committed.
Solarpack is a geographically diversified solar PV developer and independent power producer. Since its inception in 2005, Solarpack has developed/built approximately 1.3 GWs across eight countries, mainly in Spain, Chile and India, out of which 450 MWs are owned and operated by the Company. Headquartered in Getxo, Spain, Solarpack employs more than 260 people and has been listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange since 2018.
EQT is being advised by Clifford Chance (legal advisor) and Credit Suisse (financial advisor) in the transaction.
Please find the public announcement on the following link: http://cnmv.es/portal/Informacion-Privilegiada/Resultado-IP.aspx?nif=A95363859&lang=en
With this transaction, EQT Infrastructure V is expected to be 30-35 percent invested (including closed and/or signed investments, announced public offers, if applicable, and less any expected syndication), and subject to customary regulatory approvals.

Garuneku's Debut Single
by Rinoa on August 31, 2010 · 1 comment ·
Guuzen no Kakuritsu photoshoot
Artist: GIRL NEXT DOOR
Product Code: AVCD-31478/9
Highest Ranking: #3
Genre: Pop/Electronic/Rock
Label: avex trax
Format: CD or CD+DVD
First Press: Cardboard Slipcase and Photobook
Two years ago, the avex produced band GIRL NEXT DOOR, nicknamed Garuneku released their debut single in September 2008. This band of three members center around Chisa, the vocalist, who originally was a dancer in the Kansai area. She attracted the attention of avex trax, was encouraged to go to Tokyo and enter Avex Artist Academy on a scholarship. There she met Suzuki Daisuke who composed tracks for other artists. Together they started working on demo tracks and they caught the attention of Max Matsuura. Shortly afterwards Inoue Yuji joined them as guitarist and they started preparing for their debut. avex packaged this band as their 20th anniversary product. Since it was a 20th anniversary project it was quite a challenge to reproduce the signature sound of avex and bring forward something new…
Chisa in Vegas
Naturally this single was promoted quite aggressively, in typical avex style. A lot of the promotion was in blog advertisements. As early as from the 29th May 2008, the title song Guuzen no Kakuritsu was placed online on several websites and in July 2008 it was recorded that there were two million views.
GIRL NEXT DOOR made their first appearance at a-nation '08 where they performed their debut single a few days prior the release of the single. Following this performance GIRL NEXT DOOR would perform on four major variety shows. A few months later Garuneku would win several awards and get invited to end-of-year specials where they performed their debut single. Furthermore three tracks from this single were used as theme songs for several television shows.
A lot of work was focused on the production of this single. Chisa teamed with songwriter Kenn Kato and together they penned the lyrics for the three tracks. Daisuke worked on the composition of the songs. The first promotional video was aired a month and a half before their debut. The team spent three days filming, two in Los Angeles and a day in Las Vegas.
It's not quite surprising that this single did really well on the Oricon charts. On the first week Guuzen no Kakuritsu secured the #3 position at the weekly charts with 30,025 copies. It charted for a total of 174 weeks and sold a total of 58,137 copies, which is quite an excellent figure for a debut single. It is the highest ranking for a debut single since ayaka's "I Believe" in 2006, which had also charted at #3.
Guuzen no Kakuritsu (Probability of Coincidence)
Guuzen no Kakuritsu has quite an interesting style. It deceivingly starts of as a soft, classical piano piece which explodes into a powerful and refreshing electronic-rock segment with the keyboard and the guitar, which feels similarly to a dash of cold water. Shortly after Chisa's clear vocals are introduced.
Throughout the whole track has an arrangement with the keyboard, sythns and guitar, which fit in quite well with the uplifting mood. The whole song has quite a fresh and a particular appeal to it, with a particular twist, that it's quite easy for it to shine on its own. The youthful and modernistic mood of this song is a perfect combination for a brilliant debut title song.
It borrows from the rock, techno and electronic genres and blends them with pop. Although it's not very upbeat it has a very catchy and up-tempo beat. Chisa's vocals might not be particularly powerful but they carry an infectious sense of enthusiasm which match really well with the tone of the song and her vocals flow well with the track. There's a very strong element of 90's pop, which can be especially observed within past avex releases.
This track was had quite a lot of exposure, especially through television. It was used as the theme song of the Beijing Olympic Games and the theme song of several TBS shows. Unsurprisingly enough this track became quite popular and became a firm fan favorite with fans.
The promotional video is definitely the most exciting part of this single. It is obvious that a huge budget was allocated to the production of the video. The well known director Masashi Muto, who recently directed Kelly Rowland's Commander was the director for Guuzen no Kakuritsu. The video gives off quite a vintage vibe. It starts in a theater in Los Angeles where Chisa is watching a movie where Chisa herself is the protagonist. The Chisa featured in the movie travels in a desert and encounters a giant scorpion which gives cue to a fight scene. The following scene portrays Chisa and several other people in a circus setting set up a stage where Chisa and the rest of the band perform. In several scenes Chisa also has some simple dance segments but the final conclusion seems to be that all these scenes were part of the "movie". Finally it ends with Chisa exiting the theater with the twist that the actual Chisa is also wearing "circus" make up.
Breath is a soothing and pleasant rock ballad. It manages to get the listener in the atmosphere of the upcoming winter, especially since the mood is rather desolate and lonely, with a hint of mystery. It certainly has the emotional elements which make it quite moving.
Chisa's vocals might verge on being slightly high pitched but they somehow work well with the instrumentals. Once again the arrangement features the piano, stings, guitar and keyboard and it's done rather well. The guitar riffs in the chorus manage to give the track a dramatic flair, while the piano and keyboard were cleverly used in the beginning and end of the song to create a melancholic mood. It managed to live up to the standards of the title song quite well. Since it's quite a strong song on its own, this song was chosen to feature also in their debut album. Breath was chosen as the Rumors! Tokyo Magazine ending theme.
Red Ribbon ~Unmei no Hito~ (Red Ribbon ~Fated Person~)
Red Ribbon is a mid-tempo electro-rock song. Once again the pop elements from the 90's are quite predominant. Although it's not a particularly strong track it sounds quite pleasant to the ear and Chisa's sweet vocals blend in perfectly with the mellow arrangement. The arrangement feature the piano as the main instrumental in this track, giving a lighthearted and happy vibe. The chorus is even more lively and quite catchy. In the verses the guitar gives this song additional energy and a hint of assertiveness. Overall I would consider this song an average track and quite fitting for the b-side status.
Guuzen no Kakuritsu (ice cream mix)
What is interesting about the title of this mix is that they gave it a personal touch. It's quite a well known fact that Chisa loves ice creams and that was probably the reason why this mix got such a name. This mix also got exposure by being a theme song for a couple of TBS shows.
This final track is slightly different from the original mix. The whole rock element is completely removed. It has a more summery feel, with elements from the dance and trance genres and more emphasis on synths. Once again not an outstanding track but quite enjoyable to chill to in a summer afternoon in the sun.
The creative production of the music seemed to focus on producing "that avex sound" which was so popular in the 90's. Rather than sounding rehashed and outdated, Garuneku successfully managed to produce something which was the perfect mix of nostalgic retro eurobeat music and modernistic house and trance, by mixing rock, pop and electro genres. Maybe this was the secret of their success for their long awaited debut…
This single has certainly exceeded expectations of a debut single within the pop scene. It seemed to contain all the extras that could be fitted in a single to make it jam-packed with exciting elements. The arrangement of the instrumentals provide an interesting array of songs, while Chisa's fresh vocals might not be anything outstanding but they definitely do the job rather well. With an excellent package of an exciting promotional video, an interesting selection of tracks, a mix and eye catching cover art, I feel that Garuneku's team did a good job at providing an exciting debut and build the anticipation of things to come with future releases.

Election Denialism Lost in Key Midterm Races, but the Fight is Far From Over
Americans took firm stances against election denialism and voted to protect our democracy in the most vital races.
November 23, 2022 - 1:30pm
Xavier Persad, Senior Policy Counsel, National Political Advocacy Department
Rotimi Adeoye, he/him/his, Communications Strategist, ACLU
In the days and weeks after the 2020 presidential election, outright lies peddled on the national stage about the validity and security of state-administered elections proliferated. Politicians and political commentators spread and amplified falsehood after falsehood, baselessly alleging that the election was stolen through widespread fraud simply because their candidate of choice lost. Despite the fact that these allegations were proven false time and time again, and rejected by scores of state and federal courts, growing segments of the population became adherents to this "Big Lie." This culminated in the devastating and unprecedented January 6 attacks on our Capitol that attempted to prevent a duly-elected president from assuming office.
One of the lasting threats galvanized by the "Big Lie" is election denialism — baselessly casting doubt on or refusing to accept the outcome of free, fair, and secure elections. In the face of ample evidence of the legitimacy of the 2020 election outcome, election deniers continue to try to undermine faith in our electoral process and democracy through baseless allegations of election fraud for personal and political gain. Alarmingly, many extreme election deniers secured candidacies for key state and federal positions that would give them direct control or influence over election administration and policy.
Americans Voted to Protect Democracy
It became clear as we approached the 2022 midterm elections that democracy itself — in addition to so many of our civil liberties — was at stake and on the ballot. Nearly 200 candidates on the ballot outright denied the 2020 presidential results through rhetoric or actions, and many more cast doubts on the 2020 election results. This included U.S. Senate candidates in Arizona and Nevada; U.S. House candidates in almost every state; gubernatorial candidates in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona; and secretary of state candidates in Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada, just to name a few.
Now, with most of the results of the midterm elections in, there is no doubt that the American people took firm stances against election denialism and voted to protect our democracy in the most vital races.
Election deniers that vied to be the next secretary of state — a position that involves directly overseeing state and local elections — lost their races in key battleground states, including in Arizona, Minnesota, and Nevada. The ACLU and our state affiliates made a substantial investment in educating voters about the vital role of secretaries of state and where candidates stood on protecting voting rights and democracy.
Two of the most fervent and vocal election deniers running for governor lost their races in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is especially important because its governor appoints the secretary of state.
The Fights Ahead
Although this election season was an important step towards restoring democracy, the fight is far from over. While some of the most extreme election deniers failed in vital competitive races, many election deniers were elected, particularly to the U.S. House of Representatives and statehouses around the country. As we turn our focus toward the 2024 elections and beyond, Congress must enact bipartisan reforms to the Electoral Count Act before this Congress ends to ensure that electoral votes tallied by Congress accurately reflect each state's popular vote for president. And we must continue to fight for federal voting rights legislation to address voter suppression efforts, fully restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and expand access to the ballot.
ACLU Comment on House Vote of the Electoral Count Act
Moreover, as state legislative sessions approach, we expect to see continued state-level efforts to interfere with free and fair elections and restrict access to the ballot box. We have seen this before: In 2021 alone, over 400 bills with voter suppression provisions were introduced in states around the country. These suppression efforts included restricting vote by mail, limiting early voting, making it more difficult to register to vote, implementing stricter voter ID requirements, enacting problematic voter purge rules, making it harder for voters with disabilities to cast a ballot, and threatening election officials and voters with new or increased criminal penalties.
Just this year, at least seven states enacted 10 laws to make voting more difficult by creating new hurdles to voting by mail (including limiting drop boxes and permanent absentee voting) and making it more difficult to register to vote (including through documentary proof of citizen requirements and limiting Election Day registration). Additionally, at least 12 laws that jeopardize the nonpartisan nature of elections or aim to intimidate election officials and voters with new civil or criminal penalties were enacted in 2022.
While we continue to fight back against attacks on voting rights and the integrity of our elections, we are doubling down on our proactive efforts to increase access to the ballot box and safeguard our democracy. In states such as New Mexico, we will build on progress made this session to push for comprehensive voting rights legislation that restores the voting rights of people convicted of felonies and makes it easier for Indigenous voters to exercise their right to vote.
In Connecticut, following the success of a ballot measure that removed a constitutional restriction on early in-person voting, the legislature has an opportunity to enact strong, accessible early in-person voting legislation. In Michigan, we will build on this midterm's electoral successes by working to expand Election Day registration locations, automatic voter registration opportunities, and youth voting rights. We will also advocate for the adoption of the National Popular Vote Compact in states that have yet to enact it to move us closer to our ideal of one person, one vote in presidential elections, and we will advocate for the few remaining states that do not utilize voting machines with paper trails for all elections to do so.
Voting rights and protecting our democracy has always been a top priority for the ACLU. Our ACLU affiliates and our millions of supporters stand ready to continue this fight. We invite you to join us in upholding our democracy and ensuring that each and every voice — and vote — counts.

Food Stamps in Exchange of Gambling Money in Texas?
Home / Blog / Food Stamps in Exchange of Gambling Money in Texas?
In Texas recently, there is a report saying that poor families have exchanged their food stamps for cash. And the reason is for them to have the money to gamble. This is an alarming problem. In fact, food stamps can go as high as $15,000 a year for each family. Now, if it is simply going to be used for gambling, it can be very problematic. Someone has already been charged with felony for having food stamp cards.
How can this be avoided? First, it is important that people who are given food stamps are screened. It means that if they have any record of having gambling problems, it should be known and monitored. Also, it is imperative that for people who shouldn't have access to food stamps should be charged.
Nowadays, there is a much bigger problem that you will have to consider if you want to solve this. You need to address the fact that there is a chance that someone is actually trading the food stamps because they are addicted to gambling. Nowadays, it is quite easy to gamble especially in Texas. Both online and land-based casinos can offer these options for anyone. Though it is a tricky problem, it is important that food stamps are still given to those needy families.
Welcome to HYH Gambling. There are a lot of things that are happening in the gambling industry. Here, you will learn more about the different innovations as well as the regulatory situations in different parts of the world. Over the years, we've covered tons of gambling related news.

The band was formed in the summer of 2014 as part of a project in a college music class. The original lineup consisted of three of the current line up, Toby Robson (Vocals/Guitar), James Dorsett (Bass) and Alfie Brading (Drums) as well as one other.
Shortly after the completion of the school project the forth member of the band was dropped and they continued as a three piece consisting of Toby, James and Alfie on Guitar, Bass and Drums respectively. At this point the main vocals were performed by James and the band went by the name "Subsonix". They would practice together and play songs from bands such as Green Day which is still a large influence to them to this day.
In 2017 the band became a four piece ones more with lead guitarist Rowan Tall joining the band.
In June of that year the band booked their first gig at a local football club. The band decided not to continue to use the "Subsonix" name once Rowan joined the band so there was a pressure to find a new name before the gig. After many discussions the band finally decided on "Limited Time", as they had limited time to think of a name. Around this time the band also started righting their first original songs.
At the end of 2017 the band recorded their first single and it was released on January 5th 2018. This single was called "Individuality". In June of 2018 the band released their first EP. The self titled EP contained five songs including Individuality as well as including four new tracks.

Fixace je změna v genofondu, při níž zcela převládne jen jedna alela genu namísto původních dvou či více alel. Ve stavu, kdy nedochází k neustále novým mutacím, musí být každý alela dříve nebo později ztracena z populace či fixována (kompletně rozšířena v populaci). Fixace může znamenat také uchycení genu na určité pozici v DNA (lokusu).

V procesu substituce je dříve neexistující alela  rozšířena mutací a podpůrná fixace se následně rozšíří náhodným genetickým driftem či pozitivní selekcí. Jak se jednou frekvence alely dostane na 100 %, tedy stane-li se jedinou variantou genu v populaci, může být označena za fixovanou v populaci. Rozdíly mezi taxony na genetické úrovni spočívají mj. právě ve fixaci odlišných variant genů.

Stonebraker v. Kick
United States District Court, N.D. California
JASON STONEBRAKER, Plaintiff,
JOY KICK, et al., Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH LEAVE TO AMEND
RONALD M. WHYTE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, a California state pretrial detainee, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in a separate order. For the reasons stated below, the court dismisses the complaint with leave to amend.
A. Standard of Review
A federal court must conduct a preliminary screening in any case in which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). In its review, the court must identify any cognizable claims and dismiss any claims that are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted or seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. See id. § 1915A(b)(1), (2). Pro se pleadings must, however, be liberally construed. See Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1988).
To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a plaintiff must allege two essential elements: (1) that a right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States was violated, and (2) that the alleged deprivation was committed by a person acting under the color of state law. West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988).
B. Plaintiffs Claims
In the complaint, plaintiff alleges that in February 2016, he had a phone conversation with Nurse Herhinder Dhanoa regarding an eye examination. Nurse Joy Kick then examined plaintiff's eyes, and told him that his eyes were "really bad." Plaintiff told both nurses that he was experiencing headaches, migraines, felt fatigued, had pain in his eyes, and was seeing black spots. Plaintiff alleges that both nurses failed to provide pain relief medication and failed to consult a physician. Three days later, Nurse Joy Kick told plaintiff that she consulted with Dr. Dennis McBride, who would not provide plaintiff with pain medication, and informed plaintiff to buy Ibuprofen from the commissary. On April 22, 2016, plaintiff sent a grievance to Health Administrator Sam Rosales, but Sam Rosales did not take any action. Plaintiff finally alleges that Contra Costa County has an unofficial policy of not providing its inmates with pain relief.
It appears that plaintiff is attempting to raise the claim that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs. Deliberate indifference to serious medical needs violates the Eighth Amendment's proscription against cruel and unusual punishment. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104 (1976); McGuckin v. Smith, 974 F.2d 1050, 1059 (9th Cir. 1992), overruled on other grounds, WMX Technologies, Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133, 1136 (9th Cir. 1997) (en banc). A determination of "deliberate indifference" involves an examination of two elements: the seriousness of the prisoner's medical need and the nature of the defendant's response to that need. See McGuckin, 974 F.2d at 1059. As currently, pled, plaintiff has not set forth facts sufficient to support a plausible claim that defendants exhibited deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. A prison official is deliberately indifferent if he knows that a prisoner faces a substantial risk of serious harm and disregards that risk by failing to take reasonable steps to abate it. Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994). The prison official must not only "be aware of facts from which the inference could be drawn that a substantial risk of serious harm exists, " but he "must also draw the inference." Id. Here, there are no facts to show that any defendant was aware that the failure to prescribe pain medication would create a substantial risk of serious harm to plaintiff. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed with leave to amend if plaintiff believes in good faith that he can state a cognizable claim.
In addition, plaintiff is reminded that the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996) ("PLRA"), amended 42 U.S.C. § 1997e to provide that "[n]o action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions under [42 U.S.C. § 1983], or any other Federal law, by a prisoner confined in any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such administrative remedies as are available are exhausted." 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). An action must be dismissed unless the prisoner exhausted his available administrative remedies before he or she filed suit, even if the prisoner fully exhausts while the suit is pending. McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199 (9th Cir. 2002); see Vaden v. Summerhill, 449 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th Cir. 2006) (where administrative remedies are not exhausted before the prisoner sends his complaint to the court it will be dismissed even if exhaustion is completed by the time the complaint is filed).
The court notes that here, plaintiff submitted an informal grievance on April 11, 2016, and then a first formal grievance to Health Administrator Sam Rosales on April 22, 2016. Normally, an inmate must submit his first formal level grievance to a deputy. It does not appear that plaintiff should have submitted his grievance to Health Administrator Sam Rosales for processing. Moreover, plaintiff submitted this federal civil rights complaint a mere four days after he submitted his first formal grievance before asserting in this complaint that he received no response from Health Administrator Sam Rosales. The court notes that inmates are not required to specifically plead or prove proper exhaustion in their complaints. See Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 204, 215-17 (2007). The court also recognizes that the Martinez Detention Facility has a grievance policy in place that sets forth the grievance process. If plaintiff believes that he has indeed properly exhausted all available remedies as required by the PLRA, he may file an amended complaint to correct the deficiencies listed in the previous paragraph.
For the foregoing reasons, the court hereby orders as follows:
1. The complaint is DISMISSED with leave to amend. If plaintiff believes he can cure the above-mentioned deficiencies in good faith, he must file an amended complaint within twenty-eight days from the date this order is filed. The amended complaint must include the caption and civil case number used in this order (C 16-2402 RMW (PR)) and the words AMENDED COMPLAINT on the first page. Failure to file an ...

Criminal Lawyers in Sydney for Larceny and Property Offences
Being charged with larceny can have a negative impact on your career and future prospects. However, with the help of Sydney's best criminal lawyers you can ensure that you get the best possible outcome in your larceny case – leaving you free to get on with your life.
Larceny involves taking someone else's property without their permission and without any intention of returning it.
Before you can be found guilty of larceny, the prosecution has to prove six factors:
You took and carried away property
The property that was taken belonged to someone else
The person who owned the property did not give permission for you to take it
You did not intend to return the property to the owner
You did not have a 'claim of right' to the property
You took the property dishonestly
If you feel that the prosecution may not be able to prove each and every one of these six factors beyond a reasonable doubt, you may consider entering a plea of 'not guilty' to the charges.
Our highly experienced criminal law experts have a proven track record of winning larceny matters and can then help you present your side of the story in a persuasive manner in court to maximize your chances of obtaining a favourable outcome in your case.
In some cases, we can even push to have the charges dropped before you end up in court by finding problems with the prosecution case and raising these at an early stage.
Our knowledgeable experts can also assist in identifying any possible defences to the charges, for example:
Where you believe that you had a claim of right to the property
Where you did not act dishonestly
Duress
By pleading guilty to the charges, you will be accepting responsibility for the charges laid against you.
If this is a path you wish to pursue, you can enter a plea of 'guilty' early in the proceedings. You will then proceed to sentencing to have the appropriate penalty determined.
Pleading guilty at the outset can actually be beneficial in some cases, as it shows the court that you have accepted responsibility for your actions. This can help you achieve a more lenient penalty, and it will also mean that you will avoid the time and expense involved in a defended hearing.
However, it is always in your best interests to speak to an experienced criminal lawyer before pleading guilty, as there may be some way in which you can fight the charges and secure a verdict of 'not guilty.'
You may also be wondering what kinds of penalties you could face if you plead guilty.
The maximum penalty for larceny depends on the value of the property taken:
Where the property is worth $5,000 or less, the maximum penalty is 12 months imprisonment, and/or a fine of $5,500.
Where the property is worth more than $5,000, the maximum penalty is 2 years imprisonment, and/or a fine of $5,500.
Usually, larceny matters are dealt with in the Local Court in front of a magistrate – but in serious cases, your matter might be heard in the District Court before a judge. If your matter is heard in the District Court, you could face a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment.
However, imprisonment is only ever imposed as a last resort. This means that you will not go to gaol in most larceny cases.
With the help of our persuasive advocates, you may be able to secure a much lesser penalty by presenting your case in the most positive light. The types of penalties that the court could impose include:
More Information on Larceny
If you've been charged with larceny, you might want to find out more information about the charge and how it could impact your life.
We have included some additional detailed information in the sections below to help you better understand how a larceny charge could affect you.
What does the prosecution need to prove?
In order for you to be found guilty of larceny, the prosecution must prove six elements beyond a reasonable doubt.
If they are unable to prove each and every one of these factors, you will be found 'not guilty' of larceny.
1. You took and carried away property
For there to be a larceny, the property must be physically moved away from the owner.
2. The property that was taken belonged to someone else
The property that you took must have been owned, possessed or controlled by someone other than yourself.
3. The person who owned the property did not give permission for you to take it
There will be no larceny if the owner of the property gave you permission or consent to take it. Permission can be written, verbal, or communicated through actions.
4. You did not intend to return the property to the owner
The prosecution must prove that you intended to 'permanently deprive the owner of the property.' This means that there will be no larceny where you can prove that you only took the property for some temporary purpose.
However, you will not be able to take property and then claim that you intended to return it at some later date where the evidence shows that you obtained some personal benefit from the property.
5. You did not have a 'claim of right' to the property
A 'claim of right' means that you honestly and genuinely believed that you were legally entitled to the property.
The entitlement must be a legal rather than a moral entitlement. This means that you must believe that you actually own the property or have an interest in it; you can't just claim that you were entitled to the goods for some moral purpose.
It won't be necessary for you to prove that you recovered the exact property that you believed you were entitled to; you will still be able to rely on the defence where you took property of the same value as that which you believed was yours.
For example, if your friend refused to return your guitar valued at $700, and you instead took $700 cash from them, you will be able to claim that you were legally entitled to that $700.
However, you won't be able to take property worth more than what you were legally entitled to – in the above example, it would be unreasonable for you to take $1000 cash and claim that you were entitled to that sum.
6. You took the property dishonestly
The prosecution must prove that you took the property 'dishonestly' – in other words, it must be proved that the theft was not an honest mistake on your part. So, if you honestly forgot to return something to a friend, this will not count as larceny.
The court will determine whether or not your actions were dishonest by applying a 'reasonable person' test. This means that the court will consider whether a reasonable person in your position would have acted differently.
What penalties could I face?
As mentioned above, the maximum penalty that you could face for larceny depends on two factors – the value of the property that was taken, and which court your matter is heard in.
However, imprisonment is only ever used as a last resort. Statistics indicate that the most common penalty for a larceny offence is a fine, with the average fine being $300. The next most common penalty is a section 9 good behaviour bond, which is a good behaviour bond that also incurs a conviction on your criminal record.
Even though the most common penalties may seem lenient, it's important to get a good criminal defence lawyer on your side. This is because, in most cases, you will end up with a conviction on your criminal record, which can affect your ability to work and travel.
However, with the help of an experienced criminal defence lawyer, you could end up walking away without a conviction at all. This is known as a 'section 10 dismissal or conditional release order,' which means that while you will be found guilty of the offence, no conviction will be recorded on your criminal record.

4.4 out of 5 - TOP ALBUM
There is nothing quite like a studio recording. The rooms are padded perfectly to keep the sound from bouncing around; there is a whole rack of different guitars and bass guitars all with vastly different sounds waiting to come out of them. There are amps and stacks placed all around the room, the floor is crisscrossed with cables and bits of duct tape and someone has spent hours making sure the drums are mic'd just right.
When I think of studio albums the first ones that always come to mind are the Beatles. Sgt. Pepper's, Abbey Road, et al. These were studio albums that were made with state of the art equipment at the time and tirelessly worked over again and again until they were so perfect that they would forever sound amazing.
Let's contrast this way of recording music with the complete opposite side of the recording process; the home or in this specific case the bedroom recording. The name itself immediately brings about visions of quiet intimacy, of songs that are often recorded at the very edge of night when it seems as though the rest of the world is asleep and there is only this one being alone with their thoughts, quietly playing and singing so as not to wake the rest of the world.
This is precisely the aura given off by the bedroom folk project O Memorie, the namesake of South London's Joseph Ruddleston but which features global contributions with backing vocals by Janine Purce, Mairi-Clare MacLean, Natcha Chirapiwat, Florence Cullen-Davies and synths and guitar by Carlos Mario Boscio González Their haunting and intimate self-titled first release O Memorie is reminiscent of the Justin Vernon project Bon Iver, whose debut was recorded in a remote hunting cabin in Northern Wisconsin.
With the very opening track on O Memorie, "O Memorie I" the intimacy of this project becomes apparent. We are at once enveloped by folksy acoustic guitar and piano as well as a mild miasma of overdubbed vocals that are both haunting and sweet. Next comes the severely lo-fi tape crackle on the confessional and powerful punchy piano laden track "Thimble" which sounds like something from the more experimental back catalogue of the late great Jeff Buckley. "Helen Hugh" starts out very straight-laced quiet acoustic and then in the vein of Amen Dunes grows morphs into something wonderful and strange. O Memorie closes with the restrained power and beauty of "Lost."
O Memorie is at times dark and haunting as it is bright and up-lifting. The songs are thought provoking and powerful. One need not wait until the dead of night to listen to them, as they sound just as good on an overcast afternoon.

this is really really good!
Thank you for eloquently accepting the imperfection of the album, and the project as a whole. It means a lot to read a review with such attention to the purpose.
two thumbs up - is vinyl available?
