Wherever the actual costs may fall, it's clear that financing the nation's necessary infrastructure upgrades to ensure sustained reliability and growth will be a major challenge for utilities in coming years. According to this year's survey results, long-term investment, reliability and aging infrastructure appear as three of the industry's top five fundamental concerns.
Combined, the latter two issues were listed as a top driver of utility transmission investments by almost twice as many survey respondents (60 percent) as those that listed increasing capacity/load growth (34 percent). Despite the costs, more than 45 percent of respondents plan significant capital investments (over $25 million) into their systems in the coming two years.
This demonstrates confidence in their ability to secure funding for these improvements, most of which will come through corporate debt, with equity issues, government investment and cash balances accounting for much of the remainder.
Many utilities, especially investor-owned utilities (IOUs), will continue to build and finance on the balance sheet, with equity investment as needed, as they can still make these kinds of investments and enjoy regulated returns and timely cost recovery. While this mostly traditional funding model holds true at the large scale, much of the funding for advanced technologies such as distributed generation, storage and load balancing will happen on a smaller scale, allowing for more flexibility in funding models. For example – put a few small generators behind the meter from a new solar PV installation or CHP facility, capable of pushing power back to the grid and you've created a very different dynamic.
These new technologies—many coming from the solar, automotive and information technology sectors—are not only helping decentralize the generation and storage of power; they are also creating significant local economic opportunity. The combination of new technologies creates new dynamics like demand stabilization, which alongside merchant power plants, renewable electricity portfolios and other new developments are significantly altering the power sector landscape.
This evolution of the power sector is leading to changes in finance models. While both IOUs and their counterparts publicly-owned utilities (POUs) finance new projects on their balance sheets, their funding models differ in a few important aspects, especially in cost of capital. But they also differ in rating agency evaluations due in part to the lengthy cost recovery process many IOUs experience. Finally, as The Electricity Journal points out, the investor mix also differs, with 50 percent of POU investor dollars coming from households.
Most new plants approved in California are merchant power plants, and the funding models of the independent power producers (IPPs) behind them can vary dramatically from those of POUs or IOUs. Whichever model merchant plants and the smaller distributed projects we've spoken of may adopt, there is a clear trend for merchant plants away from financing on the balance sheets toward more complex, non-recourse and innovative models.

Steve-O Launching His Own Adult Subscription Website
December 22, 2021 | Subhojeet Mukherjee
Jackass became a household name after making its debut back in 2000 on MTV and took the entire world by storm and spawned an entire generation of imitators, both professional and amateur. The numerous death-defying and outright dangerous stunts in the name of entertainment have kept fans coming back for more over the years. The last time the Jackass crew were shown on the big screen was back in 2010's Jackass 3D. Now Steve-O is cashing in as Jackass: Forever prepares to drop.
Steve-O made a name for himself by being a part of the 'Jackass' franchise alongside Johnny Knoxville and others. He is always up for crazy antics, as he did so earlier this year during his appearance on 'Hot Ones.'
Not only that, but Steve-O also previously uploaded embarrassing videos of his failed rapping career. According to Page Six, has started a new website called "Steve-O Raw," with the homepage showing him in the buff and spread-eagled in a giant coconut.
The entry page also shows Steve-O engaging in a sexual act and another photo shows him bench-pressing a nude woman. He also explained why he decided to go on this adult venture.
"On OnlyFans you have to pay to unlock each piece of content, and there's no live-streaming. On my page, everything is already unlocked and playable once you've subscribed, and I have live-streaming, as well as regular giveaways and contests.
"I got so sick of getting in trouble with just about every social media platform for 'violating community guidelines. I'm just thrilled to finally be able to post the things I think are funny and awesome, without getting in trouble."
Membership is only $9.99 a month, so fans who want to see a more raw and natural side of the beloved Jackass actor can certainly subscribe to his adult website.

Percent Of UK Electricity Generated From Coal 2012-2019
Chart created by cavedave
The chart above shows the stunning phase-out of coal from the UK's electricity generating mix. Up until 2013 coal was routinely responsible for over 50% of the UK's electricity generation depending on the time of day.
However, that share has now declined so dramatically, that in 2019 it's normal to go days at a time with coal being responsible for 0% of the UK's electricity generation.
The chart was created by @iamreddave using Gridwatch data, which shows you near real-time data on the UK's electricity generation.
The guardian also has a website which tracks coal-free runs and inspired the chart above.
Although before getting too excited reddit user KingOfTheKeyboard points out that:
This might get buried under the comments, but I work in the industry and feel obliged to comment that the information that national grid's system operator have been releasing is incredibly misleading. Although this data is technically correct, during the "zero percent" periods, coal was still being burned in power stations.
I know for a fact that national grid actually instructed coal power stations to run during this period, but to NOT generate electricity whilst they were running. As in, yes, coal was still being burned during this time based on the instruction from the electricity network operator. I know this for a fact from contacts at one of the power plants in question.
The reason is because they need to keep these power stations 'warm' so that, in the event of the failure of the grid (known as a 'black start'), they can quickly ramp up to restore the grid. If they are cold they cannot do this quickly enough, which would prolong the blackout.
The information that has been released by national grid is misleading – maybe to get some good PR in light of the threat that they will be re-nationalised.

Welcome to the Preclinical Development Core for Large Molecule Therapeutics (LMPD Core)
Large molecule therapeutics, such as antibodies and other protein-based drugs, has become the major modality of oncology treatments. Discovery and development of drug candidates require detailed characterization of the candidates in pharmacokinetics (PK) and potential toxicity (Tox, also known as safety assessment) in designated animal species, a process called preclinical development. Understanding of PK and Tox is essential for the advancement of the candidates intoclinical trials.
The LMPD core, funded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) is a joint operation of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM) of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and the Michale E. Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research (KCCMR) of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Our mission is to provide preclinical development support free of charge to cancer researchers at Texas, including scale up production and characterization of drug candidates, PK and Tox analysis in two animal species, and in vivo imaging and biodistribution.

Among the 878 national parks and reserves in New South Wales, Mount Kosciuszko National Park is definitely one of the favourites. This beautiful national park is the largest in New South Wales, covering some 690,000 hectares. The park is home to the highest mountain on mainland Australia, and where the headwaters of the Snowy River begins, as it drains through the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains on its way into the Bass Strait.
Whilst this wonderful park is a drawcard in winter when holiday makers make their way to the snow fields, it is also popular during the rest of the year offering many and varied attractions from great walks to scenic drives, pass alpine herb fields, caves, limestone gorges, magnificent vistas, historic huts and homesteads. One of the Australian Alps national parks, this park is nationally and internationally recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The park contains nine wilderness areas, encompassing alpine and sub-alpine areas that contain plant species found nowhere else in the world. The park is also home to the rare mountain pygmy possum and corroboree frog.
The landscape of the northern section of the national park has extensive treeless plains and home to historic huts. This is where you will find Selwyn Snowfields. The central section of the national park is Australia's largest alpine area. The place above the treeline is covered with delicate herbfields and fragile bogs and fens. This area is where most of the park's ski fields are to be found: Perisher Blue, Thredbo and Charlotte Pass. The southern section offers dry, rugged areas along the lower Snowy River, surrounded by large expanses of wilderness.
As the weather can quickly change in the mountains and snow can fall at any time of the year, extreme care should be taken. You should always check NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service website for how to get there, the latest weather reports, fires and closures etc.
Found only in Kosciuszko National Park, the delicate cup-shaped flowers display distinctive purple lines inside the petals.

Lake Street Bridge in Elmira could have second life
Ray Finger
rfinger@stargazette.com | @SGRayFinger
Effort under way to build community support to restore Lake Street Bridge for pedestrians
Planting Elmira bridge like a flower garden proposed as part of a restoration project
City says it never stopped working to reopen the bridge for pedestrians, but funding is scarce
A retired history teacher is making it her mission to have the Lake Street bridge reopened solely for pedestrian use and make it as beautiful as a flowered-covered bridge in New England.
Marsha Brown of Pine City, who taught at the former Southside High School, said it upsets her to hear city officials say it can't be done, pointing to the renovated Centerway pedestrian bridge in Corning that officially reopened in November.
"Corning figured out a way to do it. If they figured out a way, there's somebody there that could help here. Instead of their 'can't-do' attitude, how about 'how can I do it?' which is not typical," she said.
Brown is working on building support in the community to get the city to act on the bridge.
"My sense is if there were a groundswell, that would put enough pressure on them that they would have to at least look into it, which is what we want," she said.
"Most of the businesses I talk to are enthused about the idea, but they all kind of laugh when I mention city hall. I called them (city officials) two years ago, and they said 'No, we can't do that.' They didn't listen to me," Brown said. "It's not that it can't be done. It's would take some effort to have it done."
But city officials say they have never quit trying to find a way to reopen the Lake Street Bridge to pedestrian traffic.
"It's an issue that is on the top of our priority list, but it comes down to the costs associated with it, and the city taxpayers alone bear that burden," City Manager Kimberlee Balok Middaugh said. That is unlike all other bridges outside the city that are maintained with countywide funding, she said.
Middaugh said she has not spoken with Brown. Brown said she wants to build support first before approaching city officials.
The Lake Street Bridge was closed in March 2011 due to damaged concrete that supports steel and rubber expansion joints. In May 2011, the city announced plans to reopen the bridge to pedestrian traffic only, although it was expected to remain closed indefinitely because money was not available for that project.
Later that year, officials said the bridge would have to be fixed to the level that it could continue to handle motor vehicle traffic, even if it were used only as a pedestrian bridge, to allow emergency vehicles to travel across it.
At the time, long-term repairs to the bridge — so it could be used by vehicular traffic — were estimated to cost about $2 million, plus an additional $1 million in amortized interest, not including annual maintenance costs.
One alternative — demolishing the bridge and restoring landscaping around the approaches — was estimated to cost about $1 million at that time, Middaugh said.
In August 2013, Elmira officials again explored the possibility of renovating the bridge for pedestrian use by applying to the state Department of Transportation for funding through its Transportation Enhancements Program to rehabilitate the bridge.
Though the city did not get that grant, it is still trying to find a way to repair and reopen the bridge, Middaugh said.
"The Lake Street Bridge is continuously an issue," she said. "We are looking at some different alternatives. It just comes down to the cost and the need of having that bridge."
There are certain standards that the state requires even though the bridge would be limited to pedestrians, and they are expensive, Middaugh said.
Steve Dennis, director of planning and economic development for City of Corning, said the state did not tell them that the renovated Centerway pedestrian bridge had to be accessible to emergency vehicles.
"The only requirement on Centerway was that the bridge had to be capable of supporting bridge testing equipment," he said. "The bridge is still subject to DOT testing, so obviously, you've got to be designed so you could get a DOT testing or maintenance vehicle on it. But there's no requirement that it be accessible for emergency vehicles."
Elmira Mayor Susan Skidmore said that continues to be a particularly muddy area for city officials.
"The bridge certainly would be a good idea still. I can see it being used for festivals so we don't have to close streets," she said. "You could have them right on the bridge. But we still need to repair the bridge and enhance what we have to make it safe and secure, and the money dwindles every year."
Brown said she would like to see the Lake Street Bridge turned into something as beautiful as the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Mass. When she and her sister were returning from a trip to New Hampshire two years ago, they saw a sign for the 400-foot former trolley line bridge that was converted into a garden pathway, and they went out of their way to see what it was.
"It was beautiful," she said. "We ate lunch there, so it brought a little business into that community."
Skidmore said she was aware of the Bridge of Flowers and related a story about it.
"When the bridge needed to be repaired, the community came together, dug up all the beautiful plants, brought them home to their gardens and replanted them. When the bridge was repaired, they moved the plants back onto the bridge," she said.
Elmira officials don't have a formal plan for the Lake Street Bridge now, Skidmore said.
"In the grand scheme of things, we really don't have a plan, and I think that's the biggest obstacle," she said.
It's going to come to a point where City Council has to decide whether the bridge stays or is demolished, Skidmore said.
"It's just so frustrating because things move so slowly, and by the time you get around to actually doing something with it, it could be too late. And I think that time is going to come quickly," she said. "I do have a passion for the bridge. I don't want to see it go. It is a beautiful structure."


October, November and December are excellent months for laptop shoppers. The frenzy of shoppers means great deals for those in the market for a laptop, if you can shove through the crowd to claim your prize.
A great deal doesn't change the fact that you need to know what you're buying, however. In this guide I will educate you about the current laptop market, which means you'll be able to purchase a laptop that best suits your needs without over-spending.
Though new computer hardware debuts constantly, the basic size and shape of laptops hasn't changed much since the introduction of netbooks. Laptops are consistently becoming thinner, but consumers are still choosing 15.6" laptops above other sizes, and a laptop with such a large display can only be made so thin.
If you are looking for a laptop that will be the only system of the person receiving it, the 15.6" format remains a solid choice. The larger display is easy to use, and most laptops of this size offer excellent performance for the price. However, you must keep in mind this size of laptop will be a bit heavy and difficult to carry around.
Those looking for something more portable should consider 13" and 14" laptops. Both are much easier to stuff in a bag, and usually weigh four pounds or less. Battery life is also often better on these models, but some performance is sacrificed to obtain this.
If extreme portability is required, netbooks are still the answer for most users, though it's sometimes possible to buy a big extended battery for a 13" or 14" system. Netbooks are still inexpensive, as well – many retail for under $300. The trade-off for this is performance, as your average netbook processor is 5 to 10 times slower than an Intel Core i5 powered system, depending on the benchmark.
On the other hand, if you know that a laptop will be never taken outside of the user's home, you may want to consider a 16" or 17" laptop. These are extremely difficult to transport because they won't fit in most backpacks or messenger bag, and they often weigh over six pounds. However, they include larger displays with higher resolutions and more comfortable keyboards.
One wildcard this holiday season is the ultrabook. In essence, it's a Windows rendition of the MacBook air. It's super-thin and light. Intel low-voltage processors are used in order to obtain maximum battery life.
This is a wildcard because the laptops are just now entering production. It's not clear how well these laptops perform, and early reviews likely won't become available until mid-November, with more in-depth tests extending into December.
Personally, I would advise staying away from these systems until reviews become available and more ultrabook options hit the market. They could be excellent, but at this point they're an unknown. Worse, they're rather expensive, with most models entering at around $1000. That's a lot to spend on an unproven design.
Every holiday season, some laptops are made available at outstanding clearance prices. It's not unusual to see full-size 15.6" laptops sold for $300 during massive sales designed to bring in hoards of customers.
At first glance, this may seem like an excellent purchase. However, you need to be careful about falling in to the bargain trap. Cheap computers are sometimes exactly that – cheap computers. There are still models lurking on store shelves with old-school Intel Celeron or AMD Turion processors and 2GB of RAM.
Often, the performance for these laptops is simply unacceptable. They tend to be as slow as laptops designed for portability, but without the benefits in battery life, as the batteries in these systems are usually small to keep costs down.
Remember – whatever laptop you do buy is most likely going to be used for several years, at the least. In some cases, it may be expected to function for five years or more. Although future-proofing is generally not a worthwhile idea, in the laptop market it's rarely a good idea to purchase the least expensive product possible, as it will most likely already be outdated by a significant margin.
Laptops are not as easily upgraded as desktops, so you are most likely stuck with whatever you purchase. This means you need to make the right choice the first time. There's also been some evidence in laptop reliability reports that less expensive laptops are less reliable than more expensive ones, which is another factor to keep in mind.
The CPU in a laptop remains an important factor in its performance and battery life. The gap between the quickest and slowest processors on the market is significant, so you'll want to make sure that you purchase a product equipped with the right choice.
For most users, Intel's mainstream second-generation Core i3 and Core i5 processors are the best option. These processors are designated by the Core i3/i5 brand name, followed by a four-digit numerical identifier. If there is only a three-digit numerical identifier, then you're looking at a first-generation Core i3/i5. At this point, I don't see much reason to purchase one of those.
The second-generation Core i3/i5 is extremely quick, includes an adequate integrated graphics processor (IGP) that can play most 3D games at low detail settings, and is power efficient. It's simply the best combination of traits for most buyers.
One alternative in the mainstream market is the AMD A-Series Fusion APUs. Like Intel's Core i3/i5, these are processors that include an IGP as part of the architecture, but AMD's version is a bit more powerful than what is usually found on comparably priced Intel processors. The downside to the AMD A-Series is poor core CPU performance. Battery life seems equivalent to what Intel offers.
Those who need an extremely powerful laptop should consider the second-gen Intel Core i7 quad-core. This is the most powerful laptop processor that can be purchased today. In benchmarks that make proper use of the additional cores, it is almost twice as quick as a Core i5. Battery life does suffer a bit, but it's still possible to obtain four hours of endurance from many Core i7 quad-core laptops. The real downside is simply price.
Finally, we have the netbook processors. Atom is still popular in netbooks because it is cheap to buy and offers amazing battery life, with many netbooks offering over eight hours. The downside is graphics performance – Atom based netbooks have none. AMD offers an alternative in the C-series and E-series APUs, which are actually capable of playing older 3D games at low detail settings as well as 720p Flash video, but most netbooks with these processors have closer to six hours of battery life. Pricing is not substantially different between these competitors.
Beyond processors, the basics of what you should look for in a laptop haven't changed much in the last two years. RAM should be at least 4GB, and a 500GB hard drive is still a good capacity to shoot for. If you want to play 3D games at medium detail settings or higher, you will likely need a discrete GPU in the form of either an AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce.
One pitfall to avoid is overkill. In some models it is now possible to purchase up to 8GB of RAM, for example. For most users, that is far more than will ever be needed. In fact, your average user will need bump in to the limits of the 4GBs found standard on most modern laptops. Similar criticism can be leveled at hard drives. Not everyone is going to need over a terabyte of storage, and there's no reason to pay for it if you don't need it.
One piece of hardware that is worth upgrade, if possible, is the display. It is sometimes possible to upgrade the resolution, which means there will be more pixels packed in to the same space. This makes it possible to display more information because the size of any object on a computer is measured in pixels rather than inches. In addition to this, games and movies will have a sharper appearance. I would only advise against a display resolution upgrade for consumers who are combating vision problems, as the higher resolution will make text appear smaller. There are ways to fix that, but they don't work well with all programs.
As mentioned earlier, the power efficiency of the mainstream Core i3/i5 processor is impressive. It's possible to obtain up to six hours of light-use endurance with one of those, but only if the battery is up to the task.
When it comes to batteries, capacity is king. Bigger batteries will offer more power. If possible, try to find the watt-hour rating of the laptop battery, which will be expressed in a term such as "65Wh." For a mainstream laptop, anything over 60Wh should provide solid endurance, while another under 50Wh should be considered small. Some ultra-portables have batteries rated at 80Wh or higher, while some budget laptops have batteries under 40Wh.
Remember, a battery's capacity diminishes over time. Reviews see laptops when they are new, so those figures are the best you can ever expect to obtain. If you absolutely need three hours of battery endurance, don't buy a laptop that just provides three hours, because after a year it will be providing two and a half. Instead, purchase a laptop that offers four or five hours.
The laptop market is currently favorable to buyers. Mainstream laptop processors are surprisingly powerful and efficient, which means that laptops are both faster and more portable. Prices are low, too. It's entirely possible to buy a satisfactory laptop for $500 if you just need a 15.6" desktop replacement, and more portable models can be had for $600 to $800. Only those in need of an extremely portable or extremely powerful laptop need to spend more.
Laptops are products that will be used for many years. Do your research, and don't buy the first one that looks like a great deal (unless it really does turn out to be a great deal). This will ensure that the laptop you purchase won't need to be replaced in two years.


The usual advice is to write what you know but author, Emily Koch suggested write about what you don't know. Why?
Because it will make the novel more enjoyable for both you and your reader.
On a sweltering evening at Novel Nights on the 25th July, Emily gave us her top ten research tips.
The reader needs to trust in what the writer is saying, and the writer can do that by building a story-world readers believe.
It is important to notice the small details in life, for example, in a bar describe what a character is drinking, or what birds would be in a location. Pay attention to everything around you, including taste and smell.
Start with crucial points to research.
Don't just read – experience.
Use Google Earth and walk around online. Emily referenced this useful tip by Claire Kendall Muniesa, who read earlier at the event. Emily reads acknowledgments in the back of books to see how other authors have tackled research.
Watch YouTube videos and movies. It's important to get inside the characters' heads. Facebook is a good tool. For her latest novel featuring a librarian, Emily joined a Facebook Group for librarians where they share jokes.
Walk in your character's shoes.
Actors use method acting. Emily learned how to rock climb as the main character in her debut novel was a climber. To simulate Locked-In Syndrome she laid in her car pretending she couldn't move until a passer-by tapped on the window to ask if she was okay.
Visit locations where the book is set or if not use internet for inspiration. Take notes, and photos but don't be a tourist. Listen and watch. Go and talk to people or even do a day's work experience. For her second novel, Emily sat in a library for an hour. She noticed how hot it was.
Know when to stop research and when to start writing.
There's a balance between writing and research. When interviewing people recognise how precious their time is. Work out the questions you want to ask them first before you approach them.
At some point it's important to stop your research and start writing. Important to get the flow – you can always research minor points later such as the name of a flower, for example.
Once you've done all your research, forget it all.
We don't want a book of facts unless it's a history or factual book. The story is essential. Only use a percentage of what you know.
Try for perfection in research but remember the story is all.
Readers read for story, not research. Emily's debut novel took 18 drafts before it was published. The reader needs to believe the novel is their world but life isn't perfect! Draft 11, Emily sent the manuscript to the agent. The publisher's chucked it up in the air. They had no respect for Emily's spreadsheets.
Rob read from his novel, Root and Branch. The novel is set in Burma and Wales. In 2008, after Burma was hit by Cyclone Nargis and centres on Daniel Griffiths, a volunteer for a small aid organisation that goes in under the radar because the Burmese military junta would not allow any external agencies into the country at the time.
Although Rob has never been to Burma, he used Google and read The Myanmar Times to get a factual account of what happened.
Read from a short story, Plumple. It was witty and imaginative.
It was based on The Garden of Eden and set in a utopian garden centre. Had a sense you were in the story. Uncle Kenneth, a tree played a part and the rules of the garden were very funny.
His inspiration were bible stories he heard with his dad. His dad is an orthodox Jew and mum is an atheist. He liked to read in between the lines and imagine how bible stories would fit in the present and future.
He works at Structo, literary magazine. It's mainly for short stories but comic books are now accepted. It is a valuable resource for budding writers.
Read from in the Midst.
This was part of a trilogy. She read an extract where the main characters were in Mexico, in love and exploring the city. For her research, Clare walked around Google Earth for half a day exploring street names and sites.

En Masse: Art For The Masses!
ArtsArts & TheatricsCityVisual Arts
By Jerry Gabriel Mar 20, 2012 Mar 25, 2012
"Really the birth of the project was getting a bunch of artist together to see what experimental art they could come up with, we got these massive canvases by covering the walls with paper, and gave out markers to see what would happen." I'm speaking with Jason Botkin, one of the founders of En Masse, while standing beside several artists drawing on ladders beside paper wrapped columns in the Eaton Center food court on Nuit Blanche.
It was the second year I'd seen them at the all night festival. The first time was in the Old Port, when they covered the walls of an entire room with the most rich, satirically devastating drawings I had ever seen.
There was so much action going on in the black and white piece of collective consciousness that there seemed to be a hidden narrative being told between the drawings.
En Masse is described as "a boundary-blurring cocktail of high and lowbrow culture, pop imagery fragmented like shattered glass in a spontaneous, multi-genre, black-on-white collision." The black and white drawings are a continually evolving piece that erupts with creativity. Which makes watching the artists work, an eye-peeling, mind-bending, hypnotic experience.
"When we started, we didn't care about the artwork so much, but we were interested in seeing what would happen if we got all these cool artist together."
Realizing that they had something remarkable, they decided to act on it, spreading the word of the black and white revolution across the city. Recently En Masse has had their work on display at the Musée des Beaux-arts. An incredible acceptance for a piece that would be considered on the margins for the fine art community. The group has found a way to break the boundaries of the high/low art divide, and found some acceptance in high art culture.
They have also put on production of their art work at Osheaga, Piknic Électronik, Under Pressure, Manifesto (Toronto). They even worked with the Cirque du Soleil to create a work for one of their productions.
The finished product is pretty neat to see. "We didn't have expectations that it would turn out so well but this works."
For Jason Botkin, Rupert Bottenberg, and Fred Carr, their first project was a life changing experience that lead them to eventually organizing further events.
Although the group has often mistakenly been labeled a "collective" which does not justifiably define them, they are indeed a "drawing initiative" that brings together many different art forms from the realm of fine art, underground comics, graffiti and graphic design.
"Many people had different ways of creating elements and there were many competing egos."
The final product however, comes together as a unique piece where the whole is greater than any individual aspect. The amount of artists contributing varies from show to show. "Last year, District Montreal did the numbers and we had something like 2000 drawers."
Since it's inception they have also worked with schools to have En Masse activities with students. "That started after our first project. We approached the English Montreal School Board. A year into the project En Masse began For the Masses, it took about a year to resurrect the project and we did it with John Abbott collegiate."
"We had friends who were doing an out-reach program and worked with Artpop and the Redbird gallery (up on Van Horne), we did a huge project, about 350 sq. ft. It was incredible. One of my favorite pieces."
That's a lot of markers!
After a big year expect to see more from En Masse in the future. More markers and more art talent to doodle on massive pieces of blank paper.
En Masse is one organization fighting the over the saturated commercial mind-space with public displays of real art, on the street and in our schools, and for that they should be commended.

City and State Bonds Overview
Written by Jeff Thompson
(State) Governor Pat McCrory has urged North Carolina voters to approve $2 billion for public service investments such as building projects at state universities and technical institutes, new facilities for the National Guard, and sewage renovations in small towns.
McCrory spent much of last year convincing state lawmakers to put the referendum on the ballot. He was joined at a kick-off event by a handful of key legislators. Organizers said Senate Leader Phil Berger, often considered the state's most influential elected official, did not attend because he had a scheduling conflict. "North Carolina is the ninth most populous state," McCrory said. "We have a choice. Do we prepare for the future, or do we want the leaders of the future to have to react to what we didn't do?"
Organizers, led by former state Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, solicited financial contributions for a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign to include social media, mailers and phone calls. The Connect NC bond referendum campaign went statewide and culminates in the vote on March 15. It's been 15 years since the last general obligation bond was approved by voters to upgrade the state's infrastructure. McCrory points out that since then North Carolina has added 2 million people in population.
The governor likes to say passage of $2 billion in bonds will connect North Carolina to the 21st century through statewide investments in education, parks, safety, recreation, and water and sewer infrastructure. The Connect NC bonds will allow the state to pay for 50-years' worth of assets with 20-year financing. No tax increase is necessary because of the state's strong revenue growth and ample debt service capacity. McCrory points out North Carolina is one of only 10 states that have earned coveted triple-A bond ratings from all three major ratings agencies.
The state university system would be the biggest beneficiary of passage with nearly half the amount designated for campus improvements. Fayetteville State University would receive only $10 million, for renovation of the Lyons Science Building. It's the least amount designated for each of the 16 campuses in the UNC system. Community colleges would share $350 million. Fayetteville Technical Community College is one of only two schools to receive 8-figure amounts, $10.66 million. FTCC is the 4th largest of the state's 58 community colleges.
(Local) A separate bond issue on the ballot is a $35 million proposal for City of Fayetteville park facilities and improvements to existing recreation centers. Passage of the referendum could result in an ad valorem tax rate increase of $.0135 per $100 dollars of property valuation. All facilities would be located within the Fayetteville city limits. The bond package includes two senior centers, a tennis center and sports field complex; also, two skateboard parks, a Cape Fear River Park, seven splash pads and improvements to seven existing parks. The tennis center would be built at Mazerick Park for players of all ages and ability levels. It would include four clay courts and thirteen hard courts, plus a tournament championship court with seats for 1,000 spectators.
The sports complex for baseball, soccer and softball would be located on city-owned property off Field's Road on the east side of town. One of the skateboard parks would be a large in-ground concrete facility to serve the entire Fayetteville-Cumberland County region. There would be two smaller parks. A river park is planned to provide recreational activities on the Cape Fear.
Six more popular splash pads would be located at Cliffdale Recreation Center, E.E. Miller, Gilmore Therapeutic Center, Kiwanis, Massey Hill and Myers Park Recreation Centers as well as an additional location to be determined. Improvements would be made to seven existing parks to include the renovation of some existing buildings and various park grounds. The updates would be at Clark Park & Nature Center, the Dorothy Gilmore Therapeutic Park, Brentwood School Park, Massey Hill Recreation Center, Martin Luther King Jr. Park, Mazarick Park and Seabrook Park.
The referendum will not allow voters to pick and choose selected projects. It's an all or nothing proposition. The city says some of the facilities included in the bond proposal would be able to function with little or no additional operating funds. The city also says that membership costs and entrance fees would be required. Memberships would be offered at different levels (family, couple, senior, etc.) and daily passes would be available for those who go less often or could not afford yearly memberships.


It is estimated that there are 35.000 villages in Turkey, and a great number of them have their own unofficial web-sites created as a result of individual efforts. The individuals who prepare these web-sites try to connect with the world via the internet, and represent their past with limited information. Pages on these web-sites that are titled "our history" or "our short history" provide some unique historical, cultural, and anthropological information about the villager's life in rural area. This thesis examines amateur historians' methods of reinterpretation in the past, and as such explore Turkish local history from a new point of view.

A healthy labor market makes it all too easy for workers to jump ship. These steps can help you keep them on board.
Anyone who's in tune with the labor market is no stranger to the notion of job-hopping. These days, it's not unusual for a given worker to hold down a dozen or more distinct jobs in his or her lifetime. But from an employer standpoint, that can be challenging, since losing key players means having to sink time and resources into attracting new talent.
To make matters worse, jumping from company to company is even easier to do in today's relatively healthy market. In fact, 42% of job seekers now hop jobs every one to five years, reports Jobvite. Last year, that figure was just 34%.
If you're eager to retain your staff amid the high level of competition out there, here are a few things you can do to entice your employees to stay on board.
Every company has employees who push themselves harder than most. If you have people like that working for you, make sure to not only acknowledge their effort but reward it. Rather than give out cost-of-living raises on a yearly basis, make sure that salary increases are merit based so that top performers feel not only properly compensated but adequately appreciated. You might even go so far as to institute a rewards program of sorts wherein those who work hardest are privy to a host of benefits, whether it's a paid resort vacation or a new laptop or phone.
One reason why so many people wind up job-hopping is that they feel stuck in their current roles. If you want to encourage your employees to stay on board, be proactive in helping them grow their skills and develop professionally. You might, for example, offer workers a certain amount of time off for the express purpose of taking classes or attending industry conferences. Or you might offer to pay for certification courses and seminars.
At the same time, make it possible for your workers to take on more responsibility internally so that they're getting additional hands-on experience. When new projects arise, let lower-level employees take part in initiatives that would normally be reserved for senior folks only. Finally, consider instituting a mentoring program so that newer employees can pair up with seasoned ones and learn from them.
There are plenty of companies out there that offer subsidized health insurance, paid time off, and a 401(k). If you really want to hang onto your most valued players, you'll need to go above and beyond those standard benefits. Think about the perks you might offer that can enhance your employees' quality of life, and move forward with them.
You can start by instituting an unlimited vacation policy. Just roughly 1% of U.S. companies offer this benefit at present, so by getting on board, you'll give your employees a solid reason to stay. Additionally, try offering wellness benefits like paid gym memberships or fitness equipment subsidies. Better yet, organize officewide "fun runs" on company time to make it easier for workers to get some exercise. There are plenty of options to play around with, but the key is to do one or two things that the vast majority of companies aren't doing already.
Retaining talent can save you time, money, and aggravation. Step up your game in these key areas, and with any luck, your employees won't be so quick to pursue job opportunities elsewhere.

May 27, 2014 | Sonoma, wildlife | 17 |
Anyone who has been following along at Left Coast Cowboys knows we have a harsh policy on invasive species. We were lucky enough to find this piece of land that had never been developed other than possible cattle grazing as evidenced by some ancient buried barbed wire. But otherwise, no one had planted the dreaded (at least by us) Mediterranean Garden or, even worse, the Kentucky Bluegrass lawn. Nope, we bought 40 acres of scrub oak land populated by native wildflowers, Madrones, Manzanitas, chamise, bobcats, coyotes and the occasional Mountain Lion. We loved it and immediately set out to make it more so. Any invasive plant that had found its way to the property was ruthlessly excised. And for a long time, we had a shoot-to-kill policy on bullfrogs. A historical note here: unless you count the genocidal policies toward California Indians, the introduction of the bullfrog is possibly the most devastating assault on native species. The bullfrogs were brought out here by Eastern Dudes at the time of the Gold Rush to satisfy the nouveau riche demand for frogs legs and other luxury foods. Once loose, Eastern bullfrogs set about eating everything in sight, including the eggs and young of most of the native species of turtle, salamander and our lovely California Chorus Frog. Now the Pacific Pond Turtle, the only fresh water turtle native to California, is relegated to ever shrinking habitat that is isolated enough that the bullfrogs — who can march over surprisingly large amounts of territory — can't reach them. One of those places is Two Terrier Vineyards. We've received four turtles rescued from endangered habitat. At one point a fifth one just showed up. So clearly our no-tolerance policy toward bullfrogs in our man-made Lake Charles, is creating a sanctuary for them.
We are on a strictly native policy here. All our plantings are California natives that require no watering or special pampering during our long dry season. Our resident critters have to be similarly low maintenance.
So you see our agenda. Basically it's ethnic cleansing of anything that isn't a California native. However, it's a lot easier to rip up plants and scoop out bullfrog spawn than it is to actively kill something that's surviving and performing a service. So when we discovered that we had a catfish and crayfish in the man-made pond we call Lake Charles, we were conflicted. I could be wrong, but I can't find any catfish or crayfish species that is endemic to Northern California — or even anywhere West of the Rockies. However, they are scouring the bottom of the pond and cleaning up the algae and the detritus. The catfish, especially, is really impressive. Practically terrier sized. Still, I don't want to foster a breeding ground for invasives given that we have a native seasonal creek at the edge of our property which hosts the endangered Pacific Salamander and feeds a spawning stream for Coho Salmon.
So here's my dilemma: every critter at Two Terrier Vineyards gets named. We have Miss Kitty the Mountain Lion; Bob the Bobcat; Wilma, Wiley and the Kids, our Coyote family; and Chuck the Buck and his intemperate son, Keef, our Alpha male deer. While my first inclination is to name our gigantic catfish, I have to be honest that he may soon fall under our invasives policy. So far, he's got a pass as he is cleaning up the detritus on the bottom of the pond and he doesn't seem to have a mate he can breed with. But one hint that he's producing little'uns and I'm getting my Southern peeps around and we're having us a catfish fry. As one of my Memphis peeps noted: "Catfish? Crayfish? You've got a party in a pond!"
So here is our giant catfish. He is seriously terrier sized. Let's name this monster. There is wine in it for someone.
Here's the thing: Mr. Catfish may not make the final cut, but for now, he's here and he's a denizen. He's got to have a name. I would be inclined to give him a Southern name like Cletus or Beauregard, but that would just demonstrate my New England bred stereotypes about the South. On the other hand, most of our animals get indigenous names. Our Pacific Pond Turtles are Solano, Miwok, Pomo and Captain Jack after various local tribes and famous indigenous leaders. Another naming convention around here keys off of famous TV and movie cowboy figures. Hence Miss Kitty and Wiley. Retro is also a theme, so our breeding pair of Red Tailed Hawks are Hudson and Kitty Hawk.
I'm drawing blanks on this one, so I'm opening it up to loyal readers. Name our catfish! The rules are only that you have to submit your suggestions in comments on this blog post, not on Facebook. You can enter as many times as you want or offer as many names as you want. Entries close June 1st. The prize is two bottles of our very own Cabernet.
Let the naming begin!

"Whiskers", "Cat Ballou" or "Scum-sucking bottom dweller" although that last one is a little long.
Fair warning, if you name this critter, it will be harder to off him when the time comes. 🙂

My idea is Carl Perkins…as in "Go, cat, go!". In my neighborhood is a lovely little locally-owned diner called Soul Fish. They serve only catfish (but you can get it fried, blackened, jerked, or broiled). So, if you ever decides he needs rehoming, I could think of a good place.
Of course, I've always thought that most catfish resemble the late, great Rufus Thomas (who used to beg me to go eat chitlins with him). That might be a good name. (Of course, I also think water buffalo look like James Brown, but I could be wrong.)

"Hunter", after James Augustus "Catfish" Hunter, 5 time World Series winning pitcher, Hall of Famer and former Oakland A's player! Sadly he died of ALS a few years ago. And especially as this cat appears to be hunting and gathering up all the ick at the bottom of the pond.
My big question is, how does a 5th turtle just "appear" in your pond, and where does a big catfish like this come from? Is there open access through drainage or something? Can people deposit these creatures in your ecosystem when you are not looking? How does a terrier sized water-breathing fish get to your pond? Are their mobile aquariums he or she has hitched a ride on???? Weird!
Pamela on May 28, 2014 at 10:15 AM
"Hunter" after James A. "Catfish" Hunter, 5 time World Series-winning pitcher, Hall of Famer who played for the Oakland A's (famous for their facial hair….) who died a few years ago of ALS.
If you want to go all Southern on us, then Banjo or Cletus. Banjo as it's a catfish species of some kind, and Cletus because it's alliterative and I love the name from the Simpsons.
Then there's Linnaeus, thank you for those classifications, or Lele (in case it's a female) the Indonesian word for catfish.
Oddly enough I can't make heads or tails of the online data on indigenous fish from either the UC Div. of Natural Resources, UC Davis Native Fish Directory. The former lists the Blue catfish as native to California, and UC Davis seems to list the Blue, White, Channel and Flathead catfish as native…or in one place they are referred to as "not non-native." Hmmmmm. Pretty fishy to me!
A better question…what would Princess Amelia name this catfish?????? ("Disney?") To avoid trademark disputes and the inevitable busload of lawyers who would descend on your pond, you could spell it "Dizney" or Diznie!" LOL! I crack myself up.
PS Your catfish may disappear on its own when the weather (and your pond) get hotter. Apparently catfish are cool characters, like cave-dwelling and when the going gets hot, they get going. If it hasn't gorged itself into hugitude before then, perhaps it will find its way back out the way it got in in search of more temperate climes!
PPS Are you sure this isn't You-Know-Who bringing in a catfish to clean out the pond because that's the way ponds were cleaned it 1,000 years ago?
Susan! on May 28, 2014 at 10:24 AM
Throws my vote behind "Hunter" after the pitcher. I'd forgotten about him. He played during baseball's last great hurrah — the era of Hank Aaron, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk, Reggie Jackson, Yaz, and Harmon Killebrew. Give it to him. Of course, I love Middendorf as well. Thin fish and oyster bisque…best meal ever.

Inconsistent Lottery Syndicate Agreements Leading to Fireworks in Court rather than for Celebration
Sylvia Evans, a lottery syndicate member from Brandon, Suffolk, had recently purchased a lottery ticket that won her an impressive amount of more than 100,000 pounds.
Mrs. Evans and her husband, however, are being sued by her fellow lottery syndicate members based in Thetford, Norfolk, who claim their share to the winnings which allegedly belong to the syndicate.
The Actual Story
The syndicate members state that Mrs. Evans entered the lottery syndicate at a birthday party where she had agreed that she'd buy 19 Lucky Dip tickets for the following Saturday night National Lottery draw.
Upon winning a smaller amount, the other syndicate members claim that Mrs. Evans agreed to buy another round of tickets for the following draw and that the winning ticket that started all the commotion was one of these.
Mrs. Evans did indeed win more than 105,000 pounds at the following draw, however, she claims that she had never agreed to buy more tickets and that the winning ticket was one that she had bought with her own money as she does on a regular basis.
What Are the Claims?
events such as this and keep syndicate members from acting unprofessionally can ruin years of hope and hard work.
Even though there are many stories of success and generosity revolving around syndicate lottery winnings such as this one, it seems that in some cases, higher stakes can influence rational decision to the point that people may indeed lose their heads.
Unfortunately, in Louisa's case, since the 10 syndicate members have not issued an official statement to comment in any way on their decision or on Louisa's right to the money, and while a written agreement did not exist to determine what would happen in events such as this one, there might not be much for her to do but hope that future circumstances may favour her in the future as she plans to sue her former co-workers.
A spokesman for Mrs. Evans and her husband claim that there were no discussions about whether or not the initial winnings should be used to buy other tickets and that Mrs. Evans never used them at all.
Nevertheless, the 17 members of the syndicate, represented by Moira Marshall and Shula Fuller are prepared to go to court in order to claim a total of about 8,000 pounds per member.
Is Legal Action a Valid Approach in Such Cases?
While some may consider legal action to be the right choice in cases such as this, there is a considerable number of people who would argue that lottery syndicates should create a clear list of rules from the beginning which is acknowledged – somewhat like a contract – by all of its members and which could be used to solve disputes such as those between Mrs. Evans and the Norfolk lottery syndicate.
A spokesman for Camelot, the well-known lottery organizer, has stressed upon this issue after hearing about the case, and publications across the country have presented similar cases in the past two years which involve dozens of lottery syndicate winnings that have "gone bad" after members were unable to agree about how they should split the winnings.
Literally thousands of lottery syndicates across the UK continue to try their luck by buying National Lottery tickets each week, and this is only a case of what improper syndicate agreements can lead to.

The ACDA supported 3rd MS/JH National Conference for Choral Music, (May 6-7, 2016, University of North Texas) is shaping up to be a fantastic event; we are positive that middle school choral music is going to shine brighter than ever.
We have used the theme "You Can Too" to encourage all of us to strive beyond our own expectations and limitations. Friday, May 6 (5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.) includes three, sixth grade, choral music classrooms. The boys' classroom and the girls' classroom will demonstrate classroom procedures and skills related to vocal development, pitch development, rhythm development, sight-singing, and repertoire. The mixed gender classroom will demonstrate how movement can be used to enhance learning. Saturday, May 7 (8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) is packed, starting with the nationally recognized middle school teacher/motivational speaker, Jack Berchemeyer. The performance and demonstration choirs are superbly qualified, and the presenters are topic experts, who know the middle school world through years of successful experience.
National events committed to middle school choral music depend on the interest, support, and attendance of middle school choral music educators from across the nation. We sincerely hope that you will share our flyer and our story with the all interested music educators in your state. Additionally, we hope you will make our flyer available on your state ACDA web site.
Hello, California ACDA! I am honored to be your Junior High/Middle School R & S Chair. I love teaching junior high aged students because of their energy, their openness to creating music, their love of learning, and their amazing senses of humor. I feel so lucky to teach this age because I am part of something magical: students developing a love of making music that will last their whole life long. Many of us remember an inspiring college or high school teacher that led us to this profession, but for most of us, our love of music and performing began earlier than that, in elementary or middle school.Feel free to contact me at mepeters79@gmail.com with any other questions, ideas, or concerns for junior high teachers that you think need to be heard.
If you know of any events that ACDA members should know of, please let me know so I can share with the rest of our junior high and middle school choir teachers.

2019 Fantasy Premier League: Top Fantasy Soccer Picks, Values for November 9
Tottenham are the biggest favorite on the slate, but they've been one of the harder clubs to trust this season. That being the case, the EPL $30K Saturday Chip Pass Special [$5K to 1st] likely will be decided by the other teams and the goal is to back the right ones.
Dwight McNeil, Burnley vs. West Ham, $6,900 — None of the forwards on this slate have much of a floor, so you're paying up to score a goal. McNeil doesn't have the greatest floor, but he could finish with more points than any of the strikers because he's averaging 6.24 crosses per 90 minutes. Playing at home, I'll bet on Burnley to control the match against West Ham, who have lost three of their past four. Other Options — Jamie Vardy, Leicester City, $9,500; Son Heung-Min, Tottenham, $9,200; Richarlison, Everton, $8,800
Nathan Redmond, Southampton vs. Everton, $4,600 — Redmond is cheap and has scored at least 7.1 fantasy points in each of his past three starts at home. He does a little bit of everything from taking shots and crosses to drawing fouls and making tackles, which is why his floor is fairly safe. Everton have lost their past four away in league play, and Redmond has a chance to benefit.
Other Options — Chris Wood, Burnley, $6,100; Ashley Barnes, Burnley, $5,400; Miguel Almiron, Newcastle, $5,000
James Maddison, Leicester City vs. Arsenal, 9,900 — Maddison is almost a must in cash games with at least 17 fantasy points in each of his past five starts. Arsenal are fifth in the table, but they have a negative goal differential away and allow the third-most shots and sixth-most crosses in the league. Maddison usually has a floor of at least 10 points because of set pieces, and that could be the case again. Other Options — Ryan Fraser, Bournemouth, $8,500; Robert Snodgrass, West Ham, $7,700; Jonjo Shelvey, Newcastle, $5,900; James Ward-Prowse, Southampton, $5,700
Allan Saint-Maximin, Newcastle vs. Bournemouth, $5,300 — Saint-Maximin isn't a full value play, but I think this is the spot in which he breaks through and makes the scoresheet. He had three shots on target last match and has at least 5.9 fantasy points in each of his past five appearances. Bournemouth are playing well defensively, but I think Saint-Maximin's activity keeps him fantasy relevant.
Other Options — Wilfred Ndidi, Leicester City, $4,600; Isaac Hayden, Newcastle, $3,400; Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Southampton, $3,300
Diego Rico, Bournemouth at Newcastle, $5,800 — Ideally, you can spend up on Rico and Lucas Digne ($7,300) as their floors are better than most of the forwards. If you need to save cash, Rico provides a similar floor to Digne, having hit 9.2 fantasy points in every start. Rico is averaging 7.01 crosses and 3.38 interceptions per 90 minutes, and Newcastle conveniently have allowed the second-most crosses this season. Other Options — Lucas Digne, Everton, $7,300; Jetro Willems, Newcastle, $5,100; Enda Stevens, Sheffield United, $4,400
Federico Fernandez, Newcastle vs. Bournemouth, $3,200 — I got a bit lucky with the Fernandez goal last week after recommending him, but I'll take it. This time, I'm banking on a clean sheet against Bournemouth, who have failed to score in their past three away matches in all competitions. In addition to making the scoresheet in both of his starts, Fernandez has won six tackles, which could help his floor.
Other Options — Toby Alderweireld, Tottenham, $3,300; James Tarkowski, Burnley, $3,000; John Egan, Sheffield United, $2,600
Martin Dubravka, Newcastle vs. Bournemouth, $4,800 — This isn't a great slate to spend up at goalkeeper because every team is expected to allow at least one goal, Tottenham included. Dubravka has made 17 saves in his past four starts and there have been a total of two goals scores in Bournemouth's past four matches, so a clean sheet isn't out of the cards. Other Options — Paulo Gazzaniga, Tottenham, $5,600; Kasper Schmeichel, Leicester City, $5,200; Nick Pope, Burnley, $5,000
Dean Henderson, Sheffield United at Tottenham, $3,900 — Henderson has finished in the positive in all but one match this season because of a combination of making a few saves and not allowing many goals. Tottenham have scored one goal or fewer in five of their past six league matches and while at home, it was only a few weeks ago they drew Watford 1-1.
Other Options — Aaron Ramsdale, Bournemouth, $4,700; Alex McCarthy, Southampton, $4,600; Roberto Jimenez, West Ham, $4,500
