2 for I have been feeling impatient.
3 and I am inspired to give an answer.
5 and the joy of the godless is but a moment.
7 those who have seen him ask where he is.
8 like a vision of the night.
9 neither shall his dwelling shelter him again.
11 shall at last lie with him in the dust.
14 and becomes venom in his stomach.
15 God compels his belly to belch it out.
16 he will be killed by the fangs of an adder.
17 no rivers of honey and milk.
18 He gives back the fruit of his toil: he could not swallow it.
19 and seized houses instead of building them.
10 his own hands must pay back his riches.
21 he devoured them, one and all.
21 This is why his prosperity will not endure.
22 the full force of misery falls upon him.
23 and pelts him with his arrows.
24 the bronze bow strikes him down.
25 in his liver an arrow.
26 a fire which he did not kindle devours him and consumes whatever was left in his tent.
27 the earth will rise up against him.
28 the waters of God's wrath.
29 their lot which comes from God.


CSA Judy Rough tells us: If papers control your life, it's time to control your papers. The goal she sets? To get control of your delivered mail and all the papers that come into your home on a daily basis!
Managing today's mail is even more complicated than in the past when everything came by snail mail. Whether you remain totally paper-based or manage most of your bill payments and personal business online, you need a system to manage the flow of paper in your home and in your life.
Follow this step-by-step plan to help you to take control. This time, with a system in place, you can make it happen. Remember to adapt it to your personal situation.
§ Control the chaos by setting up a "home" for everything and a process that works for you to direct incoming paper where it belongs.
§ Be sure to designate a clear organized space to write checks and correspondence and use the computer and the phone with everything you need at your finger tips - including an online filing system such as the Papervana Binder System for storing, if you have one.
§ Retrieve mail from your mailbox every day, if possible. Don't neglect your snail mailbox. Especially if you receive most items electronically you don't want to miss an important item needed for filing income tax or other date sensitive notifications.
§ Recycle used envelopes, unwanted flyers, solicitations, junk mail and all unwanted print materials.
§ Shred – items containing your personal information to avoid identity theft.
§ Read – store notes, letters, magazines, catalogs, newspapers, etc. in the same designated place for reading time later.
§ Take Action – sort any papers requiring action into one of your four folders in your portable, small file holder.
Take all items to be recycled to the recycle bin right away and do your shredding immediately - now you are gaining control!
Place all the "Read" items in a designated location when they arrive.
Set a deadline, such as recycle day in the first week of the month, to help motivate you to enjoy your "Read" file and prevent a pile up.
To pare down your pile of magazines and newspapers, cut out the articles you want to read, scan any articles you want to keep and recycle the rest!
§ Bills and Payments to be made and Statements to be reconciled – then filed.
§ File and/or Scan – medical statements, paid bills, reconciled statements, policies or anything else you may need to reference later.
§ To Do – make a call, discuss a decision, send an email, collect items, etc.
§ Receipts – save for proof of purchase, warranties, tax related items, etc.
§ Make sure to set an uninterrupted scheduled time to take care or your financial affairs . – once a week, twice a month, you decide.
§ On your scheduled date and time bring your portable outgoing mail holder along with your portable small file holder to the location where you will pay your bills, send emails, make phone calls, read, etc.
Tip There are several highly encrypted password vaults that you can use on your desktop to manage passwords so you only have to remember one password to access them all. They can even capture your User IDs and passwords as you create them and fill them in for you as you log in to a site. Search online for password managers, password keepers to compare software, if this appeals to you.
Build a habit, challenge yourself! Commit to controlling your mail for the next 30 days then celebrate and reward yourself!
While clutter and a lack of organizational skills can be a nuisance, hoarding can be a serious illness which expert Marilyn Ellis discusses in the most recent issue of the CSA Journal.


Arbore Monastery is located in the northeastern part of Romania, in the Bukovina region, about 30 km from the town of Suceava. Arbore Monastery is among the famous painted monasteries in Romania; it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993.
Arbore Monastery was built in 1502. The church has a rectangular plan at the outside without a tower. The extremely elegant silhouette of the building is emphasized by the wall extension to the west by about 2,5 meters, and their union above, through an arch; originally thought as a space for the steeple, a new architectural element in Moldavia of the time.
The inside painting was severely damaged in the 17th – 18th centuries. Nonetheless, there still can be distinguished the two hypostases of the founders in the votive paintings, as well as some portraits with an emphasized laic character.
The "Cavalcade of the Saint Cross" gives a specific note to the mural painting in the Bukovina of the time. The church was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993.

2018 Capacity Reached for Commercial and Residential Rebates in Duke Energy Solar Rebate Programs
By Jordan Jones | July 26, 2018 | 0
Just 17 days after it began accepting applications for the Solar Rebate Program, Duke Energy today notified the Utilities Commission that the annual participation caps for 2018 have been met for residential and commercial customers. At the time of Duke Energy's notification, there is still capacity remaining for non-profit organizations. In their filing, Duke Energy notes that rebate…
Update: Duke Energy's Community Solar Program
Though North Carolina is ranked second in the nation for total installed solar PV capacity, there are still many NC residents who don't have the necessary sunny sight conditions or face some other obstacle to "going solar."

NCUC Rules on Duke Energy Solar Rebates Program: Takeaways for the Clean Energy Community
By Allison Eckley | April 6, 2018 | 4
Solar energy is a driving force behind North Carolina's growing clean energy economy, which has advanced tremendously in the past decade. In large part, the growth that spurred North Carolina to second in the nation for installed solar is thus far attributed to the rapid deployment of utility-scale solar installations. Customer-sited solar, meanwhile, has also continued to grow…

Ginseng is any one of the 11 species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae. Ginseng is found in North America and in eastern Asia, typically in cooler climates.
Some of the most impressive health benefits of ginseng include its ability to stimulate the mind, reduce stress, prevent aging, increase sexual potency, help with weight loss efforts, manage diabetes, ease menstrual discomfort, boost hair health, and protect the skin.
Diabetes Management: There is a wide body of research on diabetes management and prevention, but one of the most promising herbal remedies for this veritable epidemic of diabetes in recent years is the use of ginseng. It has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in terms of fasting blood sugar levels and post-prandial (after eating) levels. By regulating the intake or absorption of glucose, ginseng is able to protect the body from the sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar that can make diabetes so dangerous, or that can lead to development of the disease.
Prevents Premature Aging: All over the world, ginseng is valued for its ability to reduce the signs of aging. Primarily, it is used as an antioxidant, which can prevent the negative effects of free radicals throughout the body, which are the dangerous byproducts of cellular metabolism that can damage healthy cells. Antioxidants like those found within it can prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, as well as certain types of cancer. Furthermore, it has been linked to preventing the formation of maltol, another dangerous substance produced by the body that can exacerbate medical conditions.
Cognitive Ability: Everyone from students to the elderly have turned to ginseng for its cognitive abilities. Consuming it can not only stimulate your cognitive abilities of focus and concentration, but can also stimulate neural activity that can be difficult to achieve in one's older ages. The activity of antioxidants to stimulate these pathways prevent the accumulation of plaque and free radicals in the brain, effectively preventing the onset of dementia, Alzheimer's, and other cognitive disorders.
Weight Loss Efforts: The powerful combination of chemicals found within ginseng have a wide range of effects, including the suppression of appetite. When dried or powdered ginseng is consumed, it can quickly suppress the "hunger hormones" from triggering any cravings, thereby helping people in their weight loss efforts from cheating or snacking in between meals, while delivering a range of other healthy benefits at the same time.
Sexual Performance: One of the most common traditional uses of ginseng was as an aphrodisiac. Powdered ginseng was believed to increase male sexual performance and boost libido; in modern applications, it is commonly recommended for men suffering from erectile dysfunction as a natural solution.
Menstrual Discomfort: As a soothing and anti-inflammatory substance, ginseng is often prescribed for women suffering from extreme menstrual discomfort and cramps. It can also help to reduce the mood swings commonly associated with menstruation and the menopausal change in middle-aged women.
Hair Health: One of the natural carbohydrates found in ginseng has been directly connected with the prevention of alopecia and male pattern baldness. By applying ginseng salves or consuming the spice directly to the scalp can increase the health of the hair follicle beds, prevent dandruff, and reduce hair loss significantly.
Skin Health: By stimulating blood flow throughout the body, particularly to the skin cells, ginseng is able to keep the skin looking young and hydrated. This falls under the category of anti-aging properties, but it is also linked to detoxifying the skin and boosting the immune response in the body's largest organ.
Colorectal Cancer: Although extensive research is ongoing in other cancers, the most promising oncological area for ginseng is in colorectal cancer; research has shown a direct decrease in colorectal cancer spread and symptoms with the regular inclusion of it in one's diet. Early research on other types of cancer show anti-tumor properties, but these studies are still in the early stages and debate still exists on the true medicinal benefit of ginseng in terms of cancer.
Stress Reliever: Ginseng affects the body's nervous system in various ways, including stimulating the metabolism and boosting energy levels. Both of these effects can help to reduce stress and anxiety in the body. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, the adaptogens found within ginseng have been shown to alter the hormonal levels of the body, which can also help to lower stress hormone levels and achieve a better balance of mood in the body.
Warning: Ginseng is a very powerful spice, and as such, can cause negative reactions in the body. These most commonly take the form of upset stomachs, headaches, sleep issues, and allergic reactions. While these are usually mild, you should still consult a medical professional before adding it to your regular diet or supplement regimen.

Том Фокс () е писател на произведения в жанра исторически трилър.

Биография и творчество
В продължение на години работи в академичните среди върху историята на християнската църква. Въз основа на опита си започва да пише трилъри.

Първият му роман "Dominus" от едноименната поредица е издаден през 2015 г. Прикованият към инвалидна количка папа Григорий XVII е излекуван чудодейно от странен неугледен мъж по време на тържествена литургия във Ватиканската базилика, а след това чудесата продължават с други случаи. Журналистът Александър Трекио счита това за голяма конспирация и започва да разследва, но разкритията му може да доведат до неочаквани последици.

През 2017 г. е издаден трилърът му "Седмата заповед" давайки начало на нова поредица. Получени са седем предсказания – седем пророчества, които вещаят масова смърт във Вечния град, а първата е, че реката ще потече кървава. Специалистката по акадски език Анджелина Кала и ватиканският експерт Бен Вердикс трябва спешно да намерят отговор истина ли са пророчествата, разкривайки лъжи, тайни и древни текстове.

Everything you need to know about 8-10 Georgia Tech
To support student journalism and the content you love, become a member of The Daily Orange today.
The second-half runs Syracuse started against Louisville and Notre Dame reappeared during their last clash against Miami. The Orange still lost to the Hurricanes, but they built an 11-point lead with crucial minutes off the bench and a career-high from Jesse Edwards.
Now SU meets Georgia Tech, who defeated Miami on January 4th. But defeating the Hurricanes was one of the few highlights for a Yellow Jacket team that has lost seven of its last nine competitions.
Here's what else to know about Georgia Tech (8-10, 1-7 Atlantic Coast) ahead of Saturday's matchup:
series of all time
They played last time
Syracuse's 74-73 win over Georgia Tech was the third game to go over regulations last season. The Orange were a point clear of the Yellow Jackets by 22 seconds in overtime when Joe Girard III was on double-team and forced to pass to Buddy Boeheim.
Georgia Tech's Khalid Moore hit Buddy trying to secure possession and a check showed the ball last touched Buddy. Still, the orange prevailed after Michael Devoe missed twice before attempting a last-ditch lift from the depths that rattled off the rim.
"You're trying everything you can to get that last hold," Jimmy Boeheim said. "It felt like it took about an hour, but we made it."
Jimmy scored 15 points in the first half while Cole Swider ended the evening with 18 points. The win marked the Orange's final of the regular season as they lost four straight games, including an overtime loss to North Carolina.
KenPom Odds
Syracuse has a 54% chance of winning, with a predicted outcome of 71-70.
The Yellow Jackets Report
Georgia Tech passed a Test against Miami a few weeks ago, building a 12-point lead in the first half after keeping the Hurricanes from shooting just 27% from 3-point range. The Yellow Jackets fended off all comeback attempts and defeated Miami 76-70.
Aside from defeating Miami, Georgia Tech has won just one other matchup since Dec. 10 when it defeated Alabama State by 36 points. GT has lost four straight games, most recently a home game to North Carolina State.
The Yellow Jackets were strong in a few aspects, most notably 3-point defense. They allow 29.4% of their opponent's shots from beyond the arc, a mark that ranks 25th best in the country. But on the other end, Georgia Tech has the second-worst field goal percentage in the ACC. Miles Kelly leads the Yellow Jackets with 13.6 points per game.
How Syracuse beats Georgia Tech
SU found against Miami that their depth could be a key factor in their success for the remainder of the season. Mounir Hima and Symir Torrence made an immediate impression after checking in in the first half, while Justin Taylor and Maliq Brown contributed to Girard's and Edwards' attacking production.
The Orange bench will be crucial against the Yellow Jackets, who also have a wide range of options with nine players averaging more than 10 minutes per game this year.
The Orange doesn't shoot as many 3-pointers, but Girard, Taylor and Chris Bell have to be careful around the arc due to Georgia Tech's success in protecting the deep shot. Still, Girard should have enough room to play solo as usual, and the pick-and-roll game with Edwards cost Miami most of the game to finally quit.
Worth knowing: 11.7
Miami came back late against Syracuse because they were able to get second chance opportunities. The Yellow Jackets average 11.6 offensive rebounds per game, which ranks third in the ACC. They could have the same success as the Hurricanes if Syracuse continues to rely on Edwards for rebounds.
Edwards sometimes has to show up in the 2-3 zone, which means he has to fall back as quickly as possible when a shot is attempted. To have an advantage over Georgia Tech, the wings need to help Edwards on the defensive. And whenever Edwards is guarding the shooter, Benny Williams or Bell must replace Edwards' place under the basket.
Players to watch: Jalon Moore, forward, No14
Moore was Georgia Tech's only ray of hope against NC State, finishing with a career-high 17 points and eight rebounds. He's averaging 9.4 points per game this season and shooting 48.4% from the field. Edwards should hold up well against Moore by a four inch lead, but Moore should still prove an inside threat.

Priest to lead retreat at Canton parish
Resurrection Catholic Parish in Canton will host a mission retreat led by the Rev. Don Miller.
Priest to lead retreat at Canton parish Resurrection Catholic Parish in Canton will host a mission retreat led by the Rev. Don Miller. Check out this story on HometownLife.com: http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/canton/2016/10/07/priest-lead-retreat-canton-parish-canton-michigan/91732746/
Darrell Clem, hometownlife.com Published 2:30 p.m. ET Oct. 7, 2016
A Canton church is having a retreat.(Photo: File photo)
Resurrection Catholic Parish in Canton will host a mission retreat led by a Franciscan priest, Rev. Don Miller, Order of Friars Minor, on Oct. 15-19. Everyone is invited to attend masses and presentations during this five-day retreat focusing on different aspects of mercy from the Catholic perspective, says organizer Paul Lippard, Resurrection's deacon and director of religious education.
The theme of mercy is in keeping with the church's designation of a Jubilee Year of Mercy from Dec. 8, 2015, to Nov. 20 of this yeare. This Jubilee Year was declared by Pope Francis in order to bring attention to the need for forgiveness, reconciliation and compassion in the world.
"As this Year of Mercy draws to a close, it is never too late to meditate on the mercy of God and to contemplate what it means for each of us," Lippard said. "This mission retreat, led by Father Miller, is an exciting opportunity for all Christians to be both informed and inspired on this relevant topic."
Miller will address parishioners at all weekend masses (Saturday, Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 16 at 9 and 11 a.m.). There will be masses on Monday and Tuesday at 9 a.m. and Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m., followed by a discussion of that day's theme (Monday: Jesus as the face of the Father; Tuesday: The Church as the Face of Jesus; Wednesday: We are the face of Jesus in everyday life). Repeat sessions will be held each evening from 6:45-8 p.m. following a light refreshments at 6 p.m. According to Lippard, attendees will have a chance to ask questions and offer comments after each presentation.
Miller is a Franciscan priest of St. John the Baptist Province for 44 years and a friar for 50 years who has worked in domestic missions in the southwestern United States, taught at various universities and served as a campus minister. Experienced in professional counseling, Miller has served as the vocation director of his province and currently ministers at Franciscan Media as Editor of Sunday Homily Helps. He holds a Ph.D. in Moral Theology from The Catholic University of America.
Resurrection Parish is located at 48755 Warren Rd. in Canton, between Beck Road and Ridge Road. For more information about the mission retreat or to RSVP for one or more sessions, contact the church office at (734) 451-0444.

Q: How to create a Textmate like side panel in Qt How can I create a side panel like the file explorer in Textmate using C++/Qt? To be more precise like the left side panel in the image below:

(source: garzaincredible.com)
The closest thing to my need seems to be QDockWidget, but I still didn't figure out how to use it.

A: That's called a "Drawer". In Qt, there's a special Qt::WindowFlags flag for this: Qt::Drawer. The intention is to use this flag on a QDockWidget:
QDockWidget* dock = new QDockWidget(parent, Qt::Drawer);

This will create a Cocoa drawer for the dock widget. You don't need to make sure that Qt::Drawer is only used on OS X; that flag is simply ignored on other platforms, so you can specify it unconditionally.

Q: Problem by passing components with images I just tried to create a component which includes a .jpg and pass it to the App.js (I used "create-react-app").
Unfortunately, my browser tells me about a compiling error:
Failed to compile
./src/bla/components/Pics.js
Module not found: Can't resolve './bla/tb1.jpg' in 'C:\lernordner\testapp\test\src\bla\components'
This error occurred during the build time and cannot be dismissed.
'''
Can someone tell me what I`m doing wrong? The directory path is okay.
Thank you!
App.js :
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Pics from './bla/components/Pics.js';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

         <Pics />

    );
  }
}

export default App;

Pics.js :
import React from 'react';
import Test from './bla/test.jpg';

function Pics() {
  return ;
}

export default Pics;

A: import statement in your code will import the whole image file. Now if that is correct, Having the whole file contents assigned to src attribute image shouldnt display image.  You have to pass the image path in src attribute.
Something like this:
function Pics() {
    return ;
}

A: have you tried like this? if it still doesn't work it's problem with directory
const Pics = () => {
  return ;
}


The conference will start on Monday afternoon and will finish on Friday early in the afternoon.
Stay tuned! There will be several social events that we will be announced soon.

Q: d3.js Indented tree with straight links My code is based on the D3.js Indented tree example.
I want straight links instead of the curved links between parent/child-objects.
I understand this has something to do with the following code, however, I can't find a solution. I want the links to be straight with a 90-degree turn.
var diagonal = d3.svg.diagonal()
    .projection(function(d) { return [d.y, d.x]; });

A: The problem is to extract the x and y points from the links. One way of doing this is:
Link generator:
self.diagonal = d3.svg.line().interpolate('step')
        .x(function (d) { return d.x; })
        .y(function (d) { return d.y; });

And then use the generator like this:
link.enter().append('svg:path', 'g')
        .duration(self.duration)
        .attr('d', function (d) {
            return self.diagonal([{
                y: d.source.x,
                x: d.source.y
            }, {
                y: d.target.x,
                x: d.target.y
            }]);
        });

A: You're almost there. You need to use a normal line with a suitable interpolation, e.g.
var line = d3.svg.line().interpolation("step")
                 .x(function(d) { return d.y; })
                 .y(function(d) { return d.x; });

You may have to tweak the exact interpolation mode.

The Sound of Slow Decay b/w Vincent Price's Wife is Dead by Seppuku
Title: The Sound of Slow Decay b/w Vincent Price's Wife is Dead
Catalogue Number: At War With False Noise ATWAR025
Review Format: 45
Available as a split release with Mutant Ape, these are two tracks of doom and gloom. Not Morrissey type gloom but that deep darkness of the soul type. "The Sound of Slow Decay" sounds like a metal band slowing themselves right down to set the mood for some medieval style computer game soundtrack. Dungeons and devil worship - something like that. Keeping it company is "Vincent Price's Wife is Dead". Again this song would fit right into a soundtrack, perhaps for a 1970's Italian horror movie. Strange grunts and growls fill in the spaces between the remarkably laid back drums and guitar. Better than it sounds, really.
This was quite an interesting release. Admittedly, this kind of music is not really this reviewer's cup of tea but there was something compelling about it. Dark, twisted but still accessible. It will be a great disappointment if this band turns out to be a bunch of clean living accountants who needed something to do of a weekend.

Building a fully functional website, UI/UX design development
Comic Con Ukraine is a festival of popular culture, a convention of comics fans and cosplayers.
www.comiccon.ua
Web-production
Start of work with Comic Con Ukraine
The goal of the Comic Con Ukraine organizers was to hold a large, full-scale and diverse festival of pop culture, which would be able to take similar thematic events in Ukraine to a new higher level. In brief, to create a festival that will become a brand for the country, and in future, perhaps, will be able to enter the international arena; to organize an event that can compete in terms of its program and organization level with the world's largest conventions such as San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con, and MCM London Comic Con.
At the first stages of the project discussion, there had been the only task set for Clock Creative Lab – to create an effective Landing Page for selling festival tickets. But in the process of assessing the festival's goals together with the client, we found out that such Landing Page wouldn't be able to meet all the tasks of the project. The festival needed a full-fledged website, combining all the tools for interaction between its organizers and audience.
Preparation for website development
The client came to us not only with his vision of the website but also with a ready-made unique illustration for it. It was created by artist Denys Shtanko - specially for Comic Con Ukraine. The illustration for the website brought into action a whole universe of popular comic books, where iconic characters were depicted in the decorations of space, the world on the Earth's surface, the undersurface world and even the nether world.
Design of the UI/UX website structure
The above mentioned illustration was taken as a basis for designing the structure of the Comic Con Ukraine website, decorating its main page and footer of the portal. In other cases, Clock Creative Lab used the images of Marvel and DC comics as a source of inspiration. In addition, for reference we studied the web resources of the world's most large-scale festivals of this kind.
As a result, we decided to move in a new and interesting direction – to turn a classic information website into an interactive game environment. Going to the website, users should get into the environment familiar to them to feel the well-loved atmosphere. We tried to ensure that every detail of the website's design involved a user in a kind of game and claimed that Comic Con Ukraine truly understood and shared the interests of its participants.
We wanted to create a website that is in line with the festival's spirit and idea. At the same time, it serves as a full-fledged information platform for the audience, which in future can be developed without our participation. And we have managed to do this in close cooperation with Comic Con Ukraine.
Basic UI/UX design tools used for the Comic Con Ukraine website
When developing UI/UX design of the Comic Con Ukraine website, it was important to develop the main idea: to make the design "alive" and make it more eye-catching and interactive. To do this, the appropriate technical tools and visual solutions have been selected. Among them is parallax – a special kind of animation with the movement of objects at different speeds. Subsequently, at the client's request, we had to reduce the number of such effects; however, in the first versions of the website they had been expressed more vividly to give the design more visual appeal. When scrolling the web page and hovering a cursor over most of its objects - buildings, monsters, superheroes – they come to live. Sliders, hover-effects and animation elements have been successfully implemented.
Thanks to the unique adaptive web design, the Comic Con Ukraine website is displayed equally well on all types of devices - tablets, mobile phones, laptops and larger multimedia devices.
Implementation of the Comic Con Ukraine website's design
The main page reflects the most relevant goal of the client at the moment of the website's launch - advertising of the future festival. It shows its name, date and venue. The illustration accurately reveals the city in which the event will take place: the Dnipro river's surface reflects the Northern (Moskovskyi) and Park Bridges, the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Monument, the Motherland Monument, the St.Sophia and Mykhailivskyi cathedrals, the People's Friendship Arch and other sights of Kyiv. But in the "real" world, on the surface, the capital looks different – the way comic book fans see it, and what it will really be for the duration of the festival thanks to the organizers of Comic Con Ukraine. Mysterious castles, towers with discharges on their roofs, monsters and beasts seeking to seize power over the city, and, of course, superheroes standing up against them. Overhead, helicopters are circling in the sky, and magical unicorns are galloping along the shining Arch of People's Friendship Arch.
The website's menu is illuminated with a magic ray of light from an alien flying saucer – a reference to the popular story about Earthworm Jim. When the menu is closed, you can see the very same cow that appears in most of his adventures. The ray is used as a single stylistic element. On the main page and in the footer of the website, it symbolizes a footlight directed to a stage to illuminate the main event.
Usability of the Comic Con Ukraine website
When developing the website of Comic Con Ukraine, it was extremely important to ensure its complete adaptability and effective display on all types of devices, which is an important condition for reaching the largest target audience.
When creating each page, our team thought through all the possible user scenarios to provide a simple website navigation and intuitive interface, implement the logic of information units' arrangement in the most effective way, and easily present all content. On the website of Comic Con Ukraine, according to the principles of UI/UX design, basic information is placed on the main page, and additional information is displayed on other pages of the website's menu.
Once users access the web resource, they immediately get the following opportunities:
To buy tickets to the festival by clicking the pulsing red button "Buy a ticket". In addition, the "Buy a ticket" button is available on each screen when scrolling the page;
to go to Comic Con Ukraine's pages in social media;
to learn about the festival's advantages and main events of its program;
to read the news about Comic Con Ukraine;
to get more detailed information about the conditions of participation for visitors, cosplayers, K-pop Cover Dance teams, mass media representatives, stalls and shops with the possibility to apply;
to watch the video review and photos illustrating the festival's location;
to take a look at the list of the event partners.
Results of cooperation with the Comic Con Ukraine festival
Let's be objective: we have managed to develop a stylish, effective, competitive and applicative website fully meeting the needs of its target audience. Having completely immersed in the subject, the team of Clock Creative Lab was able to create a truly competitive theme-based website which allows ensuring a steady increase in the festival's popularity in future.
Despite the forced decrease in the number of animation effects, design of the website's final version remained expressive and eye-catching.
The Comic Con Ukraine web resource corresponds to the general brand philosophy; it's convenient for visitors and completes all the tasks of the event which have been set before the "online segment" of the festival's promotion.

Press Release: Petition Launched to Save Clair Hall
Petition Launched to Save Clair Hall
Liberal Democrats urge residents to help save Haywards Heath's Key Community Venue by signing online petition: midsussexlibdems.org.uk/en/petition/petition-to-save-clair-hall
On Monday, 14th September, Mid Sussex District Council's Cabinet will consider a proposal to permanently close Clair Hall, the prime community centre in Haywards Heath. If the Cabinet proceeds with the proposal it will be put to the full council at the end of September. That will almost certainly be the final curtain for an arts, entertainment and meeting venue which has served the town so well for decades.
Clair Hall provides almost half1 of all the community meeting space in Haywards Heath. Its closure will mean the loss of a valuable community resource where residents of all ages and with a huge variety of interests have enjoyed pantos, music gigs, theatre productions, comedy shows and cinema screenings. It is also used for clinics, conferences, exhibitions, exercise classes, weddings, parties and many types of meetings.
Quite shockingly, there has been no public consultation either with local residents or with the many regular users of the Hall.
In August when the re-opening of Clair Hall was being debated, Liberal Democrat councillors proposed that the Council should commit to not closing Clair Hall unless like-for-like or better facilities could be made available. This was voted down by the Conservative councillors including those representing Hayward Heath residents. The latest proposal is to permanently close the Hall on the basis of a flimsy cost analysis without proper consideration of the alternatives.
Liberal Democrat District Councillor Richard Bates says "This is a travesty. The Conservative Council leadership have taken no account of the great value to the community which Clair Hall provides. They just don't seem to care."
The proposal does not include any plans for the future of the site apart from redevelopment with no commitment to provide a replacement community centre. "This is a time when we need to support and build our community not dismantle a key part of our local infrastructure" said Stephanie Inglesfield, Haywards Heath Town Councillor. "In the future more people are expecting to work from home, at least for part of the week, so entertainment and events at local venues are likely to be in more demand than ever."
Liberal Democrats are urging Mid Sussex residents who feel strongly about this issue to sign an online petition at: https://midsussexlibdems.org.uk/en/petition/petition-to-save-clair-hall

Equal Pay at the 'Beeb'?
Over the last few years, a number of high-profile female presenters and journalists have claimed that the BBC has broken equal pay legislation, paying them considerably less than male employees doing the same or similar work.
So, what did the Equality and Human Rights Commission make of the situation, having recently conducted an investigation into the 'Beeb's' practices?
In simple terms, the Equality Act 2010 requires men and women to be paid the same rate of pay where they:
1. do the same or broadly similar work
2. do work of equal value
3. do work that has been rated as 'equivalent' by an appropriate job evaluation study.
Against this backdrop, what should we make of the well-publicised cases of Carrie Gracie (a former BBC journalist), Samira Ahmed (the BBC television presenter) and Sarah Montague (the Radio 4 presenter), all of whom have argued that they have been paid considerably less than comparable male members of the BBC staff for doing the same work?
In Samira Ahmed's case, she sought to compare her pay to that of Jeremy Vine. Ms Ahmed argued that her work in presenting a programme called 'Newswatch' was the same or broadly similar to work undertaken by Jeremy Vine in relation to 'Points of View'. When her case came before an Employment Tribunal, the ET agreed with Ms Ahmed, with the BBC unable to adequately explain the substantial difference in pay between Ms Ahmed and Mr Vine.
In the Sarah Montague case, the former 'Today' presenter ultimately settled her claim against the BBC for a reported £400,000, after she pointed out that she received a significantly lower salary than her male colleagues, John Humphreys and Nick Robinson.
The EHRC's report
The EHRC initiated an investigation into the BBC's pay practices back in 2019 and the report was finally published in the last few weeks. Interestingly, the EHRC found no evidence of any unlawful pay discrimination within the organisation. Instead, broadly speaking, the EHRC simply recommended that the BBC improve its levels of transparency and communication with staff, acknowledging that trust amongst female employees was lower than it should be.
The right decision?
Does this all ring true to you? Some of the women at the heart of the previous equal pay claims don't think so. Carrie Gracie, for example, has been swift to express her dissatisfaction at the EHRC's conclusions.

Eat the document a Bob Dylan film 1972
I've always been waiting for an official release of Eat The Document. Now you can consider it as released. It's more than a bootleg – here you can watch the film in a stunning quality: Very, very good picture quality and sound. … Highlights of Eat The Document for me are the episode with Johnny Cash and the on stage performances – especially "Ballad Of A Thin Man". This edition is a must have!
–> Review from DVDylan.com
Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series ABC Stage 67.
Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.
It has never been released on home video and prints are rarely screened in theaters.
This is as good a quality as I've ever seen Eat The Document, and it is the 52min. version (there are several versions on YouTube around 45 minutes)
Eat The Document (1972):
This version of Eat the Document include a scene featuring a possibly alcohol– or drug-impaired Dylan in a limousine with John Lennon on 27 May 1966. As Dylan shows signs of fatigue, Lennon urges him to get a grip on himself: "Do you suffer from sore eyes, groovy forehead, or curly hair? Take Zimdawn!…Come, come, boy, it's only a film. Pull yourself together."
Lennon would later recall in an interview with Rolling Stone that he and Dylan were "both in shades, and both on f***ing junk, and all these freaks around us… I was nervous as shit. I was on his territory, that's why I was so nervous."
"It's a fabulous mess, but so were the 1960s, wouldn't you say? And I think that's the very reason this film deserves credit for breaking new ground with Avant-garde Cinema Verité approach, not giving a damn about 'continuity' or editing cohesion. As the Sixties seem further and further away, it's a good reminder that they can't and won't happen again, not in the same way. The Counter Culture explosion is gone. It has been marketed to H&M, American Apparel and Urban Outfitters. In earnest, a musician offers to trade his coat for a young blonde woman, with swagger and a 16mm crew behind him. All of these Lads look fabulous in their tweeds and legitimate Carnaby Street fashion — the Hawks AKA the Band no exception — their churlish boyish love of drugs, cigarettes, joints, and desire for chicks with Sassoon haircuts — you can imagine all that could not be filmed, and of course, therein is the magic of the Sixties sub-culture explosion. Sing it, Bob."
– Whirrl, user review (IMDB)
"A necessary corrective to the mean iciness of Don't Look Back, in which Dylan comes off pretty badly, a sneering know-it-all taunting reporters and f***ing with his fans…Ultimately an essential window into the psyche of a famously inexplicable artist, additionally useful as a portrait of an increasingly capricious youth culture on the edge of even greater upheaval."
– Jesse Cataldo (Letterbxd)

3 thoughts on "Eat the document a Bob Dylan film 1972"
I think the reason Dylan never put it out is that embarrassing scene where he tries to buy somebody's girlfriend. Its sad and pathetic. If he axed that scene, the rest would be worth putting out though. It's obvious the scene was put it to heavy-handedly point out the power of the rock star status etc, but still it's so disrespectful of the woman in the scene, not something Dylan'd really be proud of in retrospect.

No, I don't think so


Are the bitumen deposits in NE Alberta the biggest carbon bomb on the planet or will their exploitation have hardly any effect on the climate? Will the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline accelerate development of the oil sands or will it make little difference?
I have attempted to answer the first question previously in a Skeptical Science post that discussed the 2012 Nature Climate Change article by Neil Swart and Andrew Weaver. The oil sands, even in the worst case (assuming constant production rates of coal, gas and conventional oil, with accelerated bitumen production), will only contribute a small proportion, about 3%, to fossil-fuel emissions over this century. However, when framed in terms of the steps we need to make to stabilize the climate, the oil sands loom larger, comparable in size to one of the Princeton wedges. In this view, exploiting the oil sands would be like taking a stride closer to the brink, whereas prudence requires us instead to take several steps back.
As for the narrower question of how much difference the KXL decision will make to the production of bitumen, well, there are many ways of framing the problem, with the latest draft report from the State Department calculating very small impacts indeed.
The simplest way of calculating the emissions attributable to the KXL pipeline is to take the amount of product, let's say 830,000 barrels per day (the stated capacity of the pipeline), and multiply it by the carbon content of bitumen (0.48 tonnes of CO2 per barrel), which gives emissions of about 7 billion tonnes of CO2 over 50 years. Some allowance must be made for the diluent in the pipe (subtract ~25%) and the emissions involved in extracting the bitumen (add ~17%, estimates vary but that is a consensus number), but let's go with 6 billion tonnes as a rough estimate for lifetime emissions. This amounts to about two months of global emissions of CO2 at current rates, or one year's worth of current US emissions. But that's not the way the wonks would see it.
Alternatively, they might assume that the addition of the pipeline will cause little change in global demand for oil, meaning that any oil flowing through the pipe will mostly be compensated for by market forces reducing oil production somewhere else. All that they would blame on the pipeline is the effect of swapping carbon-intensive bitumen for lighter crude oil, adding, as mentioned above, the additional 17% emissions for bitumen compared to average crude oil.
The EPA wrote a letter in June 2011 that commented on an earlier State Department Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) prepared for the initial submission of the KXL. The EPA estimated, using an incremental approach, that the extra greenhouse gas emissions related to KXL could be in the range of 0.6 to 1.15 billion tonnes of CO2eq over the 50 years life of the pipeline, about 10-20% of the 6 billion tonne that I estimated earlier, roughly one or two months of emissions at the current US rate.
In the latest report, the State Department now argues that the pipeline decision will barely make any difference to bitumen production, because the bitumen will find its way, KXL or no KXL, to market by rail and through other pipelines. Their estimated incremental rail transport costs (after subtracting savings due to the reduced need to transport diluent) are $5 per barrel extra for rail transport compared to pipelines. However, according to this NRDC blogpost, that estimate is probably low. Actual costs of currently operating small-scale rail-transportation projects are $15 per barrel higher. Even at those higher transportation cost levels, there is still good money to be made at current product prices.
From a January 2012 presentation by one of the leading oil sands producers.
The logistics of moving millions of barrels per day are daunting: each million barrels per day capacity requires over 300 continuously running trains, every train having 100 tanker cars. Oil producers greatly prefer the lower costs, capacity and greater scheduling dependability of pipelines to rail. Rail is a second-best option and is only on the agenda now because of the threat to the approval of the pipeline.
Elementary economics dictates that increasing the production or delivery cost of a product will limit its supply for any given price. The State Department consultants estimated that, in 2030, bitumen production would be just 90,000 to 210,000 barrels per day less if KXL were not built, other things being equal. That's about one-ninth to one-quarter of the oil scheduled to flow through the pipeline. Applying that factor to the EPA's 2011 estimates of incremental emissions would amount to savings, over 50 years, equivalent to just a few days of current US emissions. Promoters of the pipeline were overjoyed; they could now switch their argument from claiming that the pipeline was an essential element in developing the oil sands to one in which the pipeline would make negligible difference to the development of the oil sands and therefore have little or no effect on climate change.
Entering Wonk World is a little like visiting Flatland, the two-dimensional world imagined by the Victorian schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbot. For quantitative analysts, everything that can be expressed in a spreadsheet entry may be considered and factors that don't fit this frame of reference are neglected. The incremental effect of one variable is estimated by holding the other variables constant. In Wonk World, paraphrasing Einstein, what can't be counted doesn't count.
The real world doesn't always cooperate. The figure below shows forecasts of oil sands production made by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) every year from 2006 to 2012 (except 2009). Note how the projections were revised drastically every year. Over this time period, events swamped the orderly growth predictions. These events were, for example: the United States went from being the world's largest oil importer to what some pundits hail as "Saudi America"; decisions on pipelines once seen as "no-brainers" were deferred and the plans became subject to strong public protest; and the world went through a giant spasm of chaos, greed and fear known as the Great Recession.
Added in the top right-hand side is the State Department's maximum calculated effect of a KXL decision (210,000 barrels/day) in 2030. Compare this to the drastic year-to-year production forecast revisions made by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
Staggering amounts of capital are required to develop the oil sands, perhaps $250 billion in initial capital, spent mostly over the next ten years. The decision makers who allocate capital are certainly informed by the best wonkery that money can buy. But they know also that, over the decades needed to provide a return on this capital, other influences beyond calculable market trends will determine the profitability of their investments. For example, one of the most closely guarded secrets of any oil company is the product price forecast that they use in their internal economic analyses; this not only reflects the results of quantitative analysis, but also the subjective judgement of senior executives. And it is a truth universally acknowledged that long-term price forecasts need to revised at short-term intervals.
Investors are obliged to weigh any number of unknowns: will Venezuela increase production and keep heavy oil differentials high; will the price of natural gas rapidly rise; will climate change suddenly force governments to introduce carbon taxes; can the companies control their labour and construction costs; will global demand continue to rise? In this world, a decision by their only export market to refuse a new pipeline will weigh very heavily indeed. Capitalists always have other projects to invest in elsewhere.
In the even more real world outside the corporate boardroom, the logic and the arithmetic are simpler. We know how much carbon we can safely burn. We know also that once we have sunk capital into infrastructure and into developing the resources, it will be harder to stop ourselves from consuming them, because the go-forward production economics will then be largely determined by marginal operating costs. The reason that the Alberta and Canadian governments, along with the oil companies, desperately want the Keystone XL pipeline is because it will encourage more capital investment in new oil sands projects, effectively locking in a revenue stream for decades. This is not a secret.
The Keystone XL decision is a symbol, as some have pointed out, but it is no mere token. The decision will provide a strong signal, one way or the other, about the resolve of the US government to reverse direction on fossil fuel consumption. Everyone from oilmen to activists is watching anxiously.
Modified from the Pembina Institute's Beneath the Surface: A review of key facts in the oilsands debate. Note the expansion to over 9 million barrels per day.
Which is exactly why this new number, 2,795 gigatons [the CO2eq potential of the fossil fuel reserves], is such a big deal. Think of two degrees Celsius as the legal drinking limit – equivalent to the 0.08 blood-alcohol level below which you might get away with driving home. The 565 gigatons is how many drinks you could have and still stay below that limit – the six beers, say, you might consume in an evening. And the 2,795 gigatons? That's the three 12-packs the fossil-fuel industry has on the table, already opened and ready to pour.
Keystone XL will bring up more bottles out of the ice box and up from the cellar, uncork them and put them on the kitchen table. The State Department wonks tell us that simply opening more bottles won't make our thirst any bigger or our hangovers any worse. They really should get out more.
We don't have to view the question of whether or not to build the Keystone XL pipeline solely thorough the wonk's reductionist lens, simplifying the issue until it becomes susceptible to quantitative analysis. If the bitumen is to stay in the ground—and it must if the climate is to be stabilized—then we have to make our best efforts to stop, or at least slow down, the investment in the infrastructure that will lock-in its exploitation.
Ultimately, we have to reduce global fossil fuel demand, not only for bitumen, but also for oil, gas and, most importantly, coal, through carbon pricing. However, introducing effective carbon pricing at the required global level is not a realistic option today and may not be for decades. A decision against Keystone XL won't reduce demand and its direct, calculable effects won't reduce emissions very much either, but it is a decision that one man, Barack Obama, can make —and can make now—and which might one day be seen as marking the turning point in the struggle against climate change.

Despite the relatively light conversation this article is drawing a bit more traffic than is usual. Still, traffic is relatively light given how cogent, well-researched, clear and helpful the article is.
It would be helpful in several ways if people who appreciate the article talked it up on social media and in real life!
Horatio's wordsmithing is superb as always, and the compliment to Andy Skuce well deserved.
One, the alternative to Alberta tar sands is the equally dirty Orinoco asphalt in Venezuela.
IMO, the strategy of denying addicts their drug of choice is not a successful strategy. See certain street corners. And in this case the addicts control society.
Two, transportation is NOT the limiting (or even secondary limiting) factor is expanding tar sands production. It would be #4 or #5 on my list. Yesterday, Suncor & Total canceled a tar sands upgrader project. Many other tar sands projects have already been delayed or canceled. Keystone XL, yes or no, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE !
Three, this symbolic fight distracts the US from effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions. The French# announced earlier this month a more than doubling of their Metro PLUS other urban rail expansions and improvements. By 2030, 90% of Greater Parisians will be within 2 km of an urban rail (Metro, tram, RER) station.
In the rest of France, 1,500 km of tram lines, in almost every town of 100,000 or larger will be built this decade.
Fuel use in France is plummeting. In the first 2 months of 2013, gasoline sales are down -8% over Jan & Feb. 2012.
The United States could build as much Urban rail as the French are - per capita - with just !/4th of our current subsidy for cheap gasoline.
WHY ARE WE NOT PROTESTING *FOR* THAT !!
PS; I wrote the chapter on freight for "Transport Beyond Oil" Island Press. We can save 2 to 2 million barrels of refined diesel per day with expanded & electrified railroads. We trade 20 BTUs of refined diesel for 1 BTU of potentially renewable electricity - a massive carbon gain !
These are EFFECTIVE carbon reduction strategies !!
1) It is true that Venezuelan heavy oil is almost equally carbon intensive as the oil sands product, but increased Alberta bitumen production will not cause a barrel-for-barrel drop in Venezuelan production, so it would not be appropriate to use Venezuelan carbon intensity in any incremental comparison, if that is what you are arguing for.
2) I would like to hear what your three or four more important factors than transportation are that are stopping oil sands developments. Certainly the oil companies and the governments in Canada don't believe that.
The Suncor plant was cancelled because it was not economic, despite the fact that the bitumen-SCO differentials are at a record high due mainly to transportation bottlenecks. Andrew Leach has some good articles explaining why the upgrading-in-Alberta option is only possible with government subsidies.
3) I wish you success with promoting more inter- and intra-city rail transportation in the USA. I rode the trams in Bordeaux last year and was very impressed, especially with the way that they safely power the trams from the exposed third rail on pedestrian streets.
But I don't understand the "distraction" argument. Has activism on Keystone XL really diminished activists' enthusiasm for urban transit? Is activism a finite resource that gets easily depleted or is it renewable? My own experience in protesting the Northern Gateway pipeline at a rally in Victoria, British Columbia is that it was a stimulating experience that spurred me to take part, for the first time, with local groups seeking ways to reduce our carbon footprint, including promoting public transport, ride sharing and charging stations for electric vehicles. That's anecdote, not data, admittedly, but I wouldn't be surprised if the first-time demonstrators against Keystone XL in Washington felt similarly empowered and motivated to continue to act on climate change.
Thank you for your detailed and courteous reply.
# Kashagan is one of the two largest oil fields found in the last 30 years, in Kazakhstan. Low quality conventional oil. After $43 billion invested over 15 years, Kashagan will start producing 375,000 b/day this year. There is little appetite at current oil prices to further expand to a potential 1.5 million b/day.
The OECD predicts 2020 oil prices of %150 to $270/barrel (in 2013$). An IMF model predicts (middle case) that oil prices will double every decade (until "we" cannot afford oil) with volume increases of 0.9%/year. That increased volume will largely come from tar sands, Orinoco and kashagan - they only known "marginal" supplys left.
At such prices, a carbon tax will have little effect (2020 oil prices in 2018 or 2019 ?). What will have an effect is developing low carbon, oil free alternatives.
There are two paths to follow to deal with ever rising prices of oil/liquid fuels.
One is the path of the Hirsch Report (commissioned by Dept of Energy under last administration). "Boil the planet" to fill gas tanks. 1,000 MW coal fired plants to heat oil shale, tar sands expansion, enhanced oil recovery, etc. A very serious & determined approach.
I have spent years (including some ground breaking research with the Millennium Institute) - to promoting low carbon (i.e. not EVs) oil free transportation using market demand and a playing field tilted away from BAU & FF.
If there is NO ALTERNATIVE - people will DO ANYTHING for liquid fuels !!
I am talking with Springer about writing a book that results in an updated model of this.
Also read my main blog - just under the pictures of pretty French trams.
- Logistics & manpower in Northern Alberta - More $$ does not create more results, the infrastructure is maxed out.
You are quite wrong about what the oil companies think are the limiting factors. Of course, they will do all sorts of public manipulation to add a few % profit to each barrel of oil.
Well it's the refinery issue that's sending the crap down to Houston, isn't it? And the pipeline is a key to the infrastructure.
So I'm not sure where you are claiming disagreement. Or why.
As for capital, that's what the oil industry is all about. Each deep water offshore oil platform costs billions.
Wow. This should enter 2013 essential history of art right next to Homo Narcissus by A-Team. Wow again. This is way more than just brilliant parody, it is a cross-decades fulguration of contemporary medunno of... aah. Wow.
Horatio is skeptical of the "makes no difference" claim that is making the rounds.
"Industry insiders and even pro-tar sands government officials in Canada understand that the expansion of tar sands production is not inevitable. They have publicly acknowledged that they need the building of pipelines to access international markets for expansion.
Current alternatives to the Keystone XL for transporting tar sands oil are on a much smaller scale, in much earlier stages of development, and in many cases face such significant opposition that they are unlikely to move ahead in the next five to 10 years if at all."
To go from here to there?
The pipeline is *NOT* the infrastructure key.
China imported over 1 million b/day from Russia for over a decade - despite a change in gauge (the distance between the rails).
I can outline ways to move millions of barrels/day from Alberta by rail.
The State Dept. report just affirmed what I already knew.
> As for capital, that's what the oil industry is all about.
Capital will be a limiting factor for expansion of tar sands production *LONG* before transportation will be. $100 billion may be more than Western oil companies will be willing to invest in the medium term. China will be needed to reach that sum IMHO.
Before a decision is made on Keystone, there have been multiple investment decisions to delay tar sands projects. There are limits to capex even in the oil industry.
First my essay on Bordeaux trams - the first one opened December 21st, 2003 !
I believe that France is rivaled only by Denmark in their carbon reductions in the last decade. French carbon emissions per capita are 64% of German carbon emissions !
And yes, activism is a limited resource. The singular focus on a symbolic action has eclipsed several potential effective actions.
I know of at least a dozen thoughtful, experienced, engaged, public spirited people that would have joined a movement for effective Climate action - but are sitting out Keystone.
Alan, you've made your point. I'm not sure I agree.
As a Canadian, like so many Canadians, I am as astonished as I am horrified by the current status of Canada as a rogue nation. So this issue rings true for me. I would like to see Obama put the brakes on this ethically disastrous course for Canada.
That's why it's hard for me to see this as a sideshow.
We do not need new fossil fuel industries and this is one.
I am not convinced that stopping KXL is contrary to your vision for massive increases in rail investment. I share your enthusiasm for rail if not your dedication to it.
To the contrary, making oil as scarce as it ought to be will enhance your prospects as a light rail advocate. I am not sure why you want to come along and demotivate everyone.
I didn't have much trouble finding your presence on the internet. I'm reasonably convinced you're NOT a figment of some oil company's tricky PR campaign. But I don't see why, that being the case, that you're so stuck on being divisive.
"I know of at least a dozen thoughtful, experienced, engaged, public spirited people that would have joined a movement for effective Climate action – but are sitting out Keystone." I note you do not name them. Perhaps they know better than to be divisive for no good reason.
Let's make it clear. Do you WANT the pipeline to go in? Because if you're slightly opposed or even indifferent, the style of your participation on this thread is hard to understand.
I am not a figment. I think I am up to 14,000 posts of TheOilDrum.com (tech central for Peak Oil), a chapter in "transport Beyond Oil" (Island Press), Millennium Institute, etc.
My metric is what the likely impact is on CO2 levels in 2050, 2075 and 2100. By that metric, I so not think that blocking Keystone XL will drop levels by one part per billion. I can think of several policies that will drop CO2 by ppm.
I am wholeheartedly opposed to making Keystone XL the focus point of mitigating Climate Chaos. And there is an element of strategic per-positioning. When people realize that this campaign will have no impact of CO2 levels (either by Obama approving or when tar is railed out), hopefully they will turn towards effective measures to reduce CO2 levels.
I only posted here because John H. (who I disagree with on this issue) invited me to.
BTW: Feel free to erase my posts after they have been up for a day.
Why would we choose to erase them?
Also, most of us are well aware of The Oil Drum and it's among our inspirations for this site.
Oil is likely to spiral upward in price. This will create increased pressure for more supply. (+0.9%/yr per IMF model as price doubles every decade).
Any artificial constraint to limit supply will be broken through. In the case of KXL, if not Obama (>50%), then the next Republican President will approve it. And until then, tar will be railed to market.
40% of Americans want to live in Transit Orientated Development, but less than 2% do since there is simply not enough "T" to "OD" around. Add $270/barrel oil and that % increases.
Combine those two facts, invest 25% of our current subsidy for cheap gasoline ($101 billion in 2010) for 25 years and American carbon footprint shrinks enough to affect global CO2 levels.
This is the sort of change that is going to be required !
Equally important is improving US energy efficiency just to EU levels.
And my pet, electrifying & expanding freight rail lines. -1 to -2 million b/day - trade 20 BTUs of refined diesel for 1 BTU of conserved or renewable electricity. All in one decade.
This has not exhausted the list of effective measures to reduce CO2 emissions.
Meanwhile, energy and passion is spent on symbolism.
The production of oil from Western Canada is expanding to the point that existing pipeline capacity is overwhelmed. Canadian pipeline company Enbridge aims to get its Northern Gateway project built for exports from Canada's west coast. TransCanada, meanwhile, anticipates crude oil deliveries will expand from Canada to southern U.S. refineries by way of the Keystone XL pipeline. Expanding oil production from North America, however, may be too much for pipelines to handle and suppliers will need to look to more-expensive rail to get their oil to markets.
...ITG finds that in order to accommodate the oil boom, crude oil deliveries by rail will have to climb to 1.6 million bpd by 2017 in order to keep up. Rail deliveries, its report finds, will have to expand at a rapid clip even if "all planned pipeline projects, such as Keystone XL and Northern Gateway, proceed."
Yes, this is a throttle. Indeed we should oppose train shipments of tar sands as well. The stuff has to stay where it is.
A mile-long train hauling oil from Canada derailed and leaked 30,000 gallons of crude in western Minnesota on Wednesday, as debate rages over the environmental risks of transporting tar sands across the border.
The leak - the first major spill of the modern North American crude-by-rail transit boom - came when 14 cars on a 94-car Canadian Pacific train left the tracks about 150 miles north west of Minneapolis near the town of Parkers Prairie, the Otter Tail Sheriff's Department said.
David Roberts tweets "Every single pro-KXL article from VSPs sounds *exactly the same*. http://swampland.time.com/2013/03/07/build-that-pipeline/ … Maybe there's just one VSP w/ multiple aliases?"
By VSP he means Very Serious Person, a sarcastic nomenclature that Tom Fuller does not understand. Or David and I don't. Whatever.
But if you see me using it, I mean what David does.
Anyway David's link is to a Fareed Zakaria piece. But at least Zakaria is NOTICING the controversy. He wrote a whole book about the 21st century which did not even mention climate at all.
Honestly these people live on a different planet.
Alan, thanks again for all of your comments. I certainly don't disagree with everything you say--fully supporting your efforts to wean transportation off of oil--and I am short of time, so my comments will be brief.
You are obviously an adherent of Peak Oil theory and while I think that there are many interesting posts on the Oil Drum, my personal view is that many of the predictions made there are exaggerated and wrong. Which is not to say that the cornucopians are more right, just that the whole area of production and price forecasting is so difficult and complicated that it is only possible to make predictions by focussing only on supply or on demand. The people who understand the subject best prefer to say little or nothing at all with any confidence. I would say that oil prices may well continue to increase, but that a plausible, although less likely, case can be made for flat or slightly decreasing prices in the medium term. But that's not much better than saying I don't really know, and I don't want to get into a Peak Oil debate here.
I do not dismiss the rail option at all. I would guess that it may turn out to be more than an extra $5 per barrel over pipe-lining, but I can't be sure and I don't know what the ultimate capacity of the rail network is and, of course, it could be expanded with sufficient capital.
You make other arguments about rising natural gas prices and rising labour and capital costs, which I alluded to in my original article. I agree that these are significant concerns and that once the bitumen price differential comes down to normal historical levels and production expansion accelerates, these will become top priority issues for the oil companies.
I should declare that, like Michael, part of my motivation here is in seeing my country, Canada, turning into a petrostate, complete with what Green Party leader Elizabeth May has described as "policy-based evidence-making" and a tendency to put all of the country's economic bets on black.
There's an interesting new article in Science by Damon Matthews and Susan Solomon that argues against the idea that worsening climate change is unavoidable, even if changes wrought by our past emissions cannot be reversed. In particular, they try to correct the common misunderstanding of the expression that there is more "warming in the pipeline". The inertia in the climate system is not in the physics of the system, but rather in the rate of human emissions, determined in part by our investments in plant and infrastructure, investments that have an effect on our energy systems for decades. Thus, "warming in the pipeline" fails as metaphor, but succeeds as literal truth.
Which was the main point of my article.
Thanks for the etymology on VSP, and the link to the reasonable side of Tom Fuller. One has to ask why he has closed his mind on climate. If he would only explore the mainstream "side" there on his own without all that animus, it would be obvious to him.
"Changing Climates, Changing Minds: The Personal"
The comments show the rational mental progression of a variety of people who checked for themselves.
Disagree, Susan. Fuller can only seem reasonable in that post because of the notably consistent tilt of his commenters.
I'm recalling the Fuller genesis story (paraphrasing): "Hi, I'm Tom Fuller, and I just spent the last few weeks in a comprehensive survey of climate science and its critics, from which I've concluded that Steve McIntyre et al. are right and the most important thing is to support their efforts. I had no axe to grind before that."
Umm... no, not buying it. (The device explained.) My view on this was confirmed and amplified by a series of Gish gallops on his part, many of them on Michael's old blog. Fuller doesn't know the science nearly as well as I do, to say nothing of well enough to logically underpin the views he espouses.
For the avoidance of doubt, let me be precise: Michael Mann is continuously in error in his analysis of the temperature record. Bill McKibben is not stable in his demeanor or policy advocacy. Peter 'Gleick stole and forged (or knowingly published forged) documents from an organization he opposes. Reliance on their pronouncements will lead even intelligent and savvy people into a spiral of error that leads to foolish pronouncements such as Krugman's latest misstatement condemning deniers to hell.
Read what he's actually saying in this by no means unique passage, and don't be distracted by the surrounding reasonable-sounding tone.
But what shall it profit the world if we have lots of electric trains and lots of transit oriented development, and burn all the carbon anyway?
We have about five times as much reduced carbon reserves already on the books as is can be burned and stay below 2 degrees C higher temperatures and serious consequences. To be safe we must leave about 80% of the reserves in the ground. Thus your "resistance is useless" argument is useless.
Btw Alan your confidence in your knowledge of many details of the future is more impressive than convincing.
"Burning this ton adds only one ton to the atmosphere."
So shall we burn each ton? But if not, then we must draw the line somewhere. Unburned tar sands carbon, which costs much extra carbon to extract and transport, is among the best tons to leave in the ground.
Some argue as if drawing one line, vs the KXL pipeline, would be the last and only line drawn. But all we know for sure is that it would be the first, and a very strong signal to the world that ethical action is still possible.
Pete: "We have about five times as much reduced carbon reserves already on the books as is can be burned and stay below 2 degrees C higher temperatures and serious consequences. To be safe we must leave about 80% of the reserves in the ground. Thus your "resistance is useless" argument is useless."
"safe" being somewhat relative and contingent... Otherwise nicely said.
"Cuz rail is even better"
We mustn't go too long"
Reasonable side of Tom Fuller? "Michael Mann is continuously in error in his analysis of the temperature record." (loc. link). Very funny definition-by-example of manic denialism. And calling himself a lukewarmer, he even excels at meta denialism.
When an Ego reasons, sometimes a little real reason might ensue by mere coincidence. For too many specimens of the Late Homo S Sapiens, reason is just an Ego protection and masturbation tool that can be bent and warped ad libitum.
Thanks, you're absolutely right. I was a fan of OnlyInItfortheGold too. And denial is the pits. Didn't know Tom Fuller's history there, but my instinct was to give him a very wide berth. I only got sucked in because of mt's patience with him.
What boggles is the absolute refusal to even look at the majority view of climate science without the filter of some second-rate but clever misdirection about it.
It's so obvious, but people trained to believe that if they disagree with WUWT or Inhofe or Monckton they are sinning against their tribe seem unable to absorb straightforward unbiased information. They will seize on any minutiae as long as it fits their worldview, and ignore any massive accretion of facts likewise.
I've been wrassling (mostly in my head, on paper just some acid quips at Rabett's) with one Brad Keyes, who is just such another, only worse. And NiV in his way is too. These are people with a lot of time on their hands who write reams with a slant (NiV being by far the most clever, hence reasonable sounding) and always have the last word. At DotEarth, you know wmar and now some others. They've gotten much better at reproducing the look and feel of knowledgeable writing. This is not good.
Time to draw some first lines, I agree. Thanks.
Pingback: Will the SEC investigate State Department's Climate Bomb?
This has become important once again.
.... the report appears to indicate that if it were not built, carbon-heavy oil would still be extracted at the same rate from pristine Alberta forest and transported to refineries by rail instead.
Cynically, the report pegs the "harmlessness" to the idea that since tar sands will be exploited anyway, transport need not take into account building infrastructure to ensure that it will indeed be exploited to the last drop.


I made intercompany transaction. Customer Z buys from A, but shipped from to Z.
Acc Receivable and Sales revenue.
as i wanna ask, logically it should be another acc doc in CCode A with GL Account Payable, is it right?
can you explain to me why the other acc doc does not emerge?
You can manually create the invoice receipt manually or you need to set up IDOC/EDI in order for sap to create the incoming invoice document automatically.
that might answer your question.
Generally the other document is posted via idoc. Please check in the intercompany billing doc if output type RD04( or ZD04 if a copy generally) is triggered . If one is triggered please check if the idoc has errored.
If no EDI output is triggered then you will have to post it manually . It would be highly recommended that a posting via idoc be setup for these kinds of transaction , with the trigger point being the releasing of invoice.


Uttama Villain's audio launch will happen on March 1 at Chennai Trade Centre. The event will be colourful and entertaining as it is just not an audio launch.
Kamal Haasan will perform live along with Andreah and Pooja Kumar for a song. Pooja Kumar took it to her twitter page and mentioned that the dance rehearsals are going on in full swing and it is exhausting her, however she is enjoying the experience.
The famous Attakalari dance will also be performed live in the audio launch. So, the event is going to be one of its kind and it will be a double dhamaka for fans to get to listen to the audio and also see the legend perform live.
Uttama Villain is directed by Ramesh Arvind and co-produced by Kamal Haasan and Lingusamy. We are waiting to Ulaganayagan to set the stage on fire!
