Meet Trig Palin, Sarah Palin's Son

Sarah Palin — the former governor of Alaska, political commentator, author, and reality TV star — shot to fame back in 2008 when the late John McCain selected her as his vice-presidential candidate (via The Sun). After she gained overnight notoriety around the world, the media soon turned their attention to Palin's family, including her daughter Bristol and ex-husband, Todd, whom Palin divorced in 2020. But what is there to know about Palin's youngest child, Trig?
According to The Focus, Trig Paxson Van Palin was born on April 18, 2008, in Wasilla, Alaska. He was born with Down syndrome and is the youngest child of the Palin family, which includes siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
Palin kept her pregnancy with Trig a secret until her seventh month. Writing in her autobiography, "Going Rogue," Palin revealed that the day she went into labor with her youngest child, she had given a speech in Dallas before getting on a flight back home to Alaska, where she eventually gave birth 20 hours later.

The former Alaska governor later told The New York Times that she and her husband decided not to go public about the pregnancy partly because they needed time to absorb the fact that Trig would be born with Down syndrome. Sarah Palin also said that at the time, she didn't want the people in her state to worry about her ability to meet her responsibilities as governor — so Palin said she decided to hide her pregnancy with larger blazers and fashion accessories, until she felt it was safe to come clean to her family and a few close aides. What they didn't reveal to many around them was Trig's diagnosis. In fact, his brother and sisters didn't know that Trig had Down syndrome until after he was born. "So that was kind of a shock," Willow Palin admitted. "But we didn't really care. He's still our brother" (via ABC News).
Unfortunately, the silence only made it possible for critics to call Palin's story into question. The Washington Post reported that there were rumors that Trig wasn't Sarah Palin's baby but was in fact her older daughter, Bristol's.
Conspiracy theories raged surrounding Trig's birth

There were other reasons people questioned Trig Palin's parentage. As Insider reported, observers called out holes in Sarah Palin's dramatic birth story, with some even accusing the politician of faking her pregnancy. However, Palin dismissed the theories and largely ignored the speculation throughout the 2008 presidential campaign. Palin was interviewed by ABC News the year after Trig's birth and was asked whether she ever considered having an abortion when learning of his Down syndrome diagnosis. "I knew that the option was there," the former governor commented, adding that, although she understands why people make that choice, she believes that "every child has purpose — and that's what I held onto."
Life was not too easy for Trig after he was born, because as his mom admitted, he was exposed to more than a few cruel taunts. "I am on the Internet and ... [have seen] some horrible ads about him that he should have never been born," Palin said. Still, she admitted that there was a silver lining because "for the most part, people have been so loving and supportive of us [and] that encourages us."

In 2010, Trig Palin appeared on the reality TV series "Sarah Palin's Alaska," which ran for one season until 2011 and centered on the Palin family's life in Alaska. The cameras had stopped rolling when Trig started school in 2016, who was then 8 years old. By 2018, the former governor opened up to WJLA, saying that Trig was calling the shots at home. "The most challenging thing is trying not to look too far into the future and being scared of what perhaps Trig would face," Palin had said. "I'm just so thankful that he's got the big extended family with his big brother and big sisters. He's always gonna be taken care of."
No one expects smooth sailing for Trig and his mom, but it was heartbreaking all the same to hear that in March 2021, Palin told People that she and some of her children, including 12-year-old Trig, had contracted COVID-19. In the statement, Palin revealed that, after testing positive, she immediately went into isolation. "I then observed symptoms in my son Trig, who curiously is the most enthusiastic mask-wearer, and after our numerous negative tests over the year, he tested positive," she said. "Children with special needs are vulnerable to COVID ramifications, so with a high fever he was prescribed azithromycin, which really seemed to help, and I increased amounts of vitamins I put in his puréed food." Luckily, Trig and the rest of the Palin family seem to have recovered from the virus just fine.


Kevin Irish, MD, an interventional radiologist who has been using Clarius in test situations during the development process, said: "The ability to put ultrasound literally in the palm of your hand is an important advancement in the development of ultrasound. There are no cables, no need to find a plug, no need to have a large room to allow for bulky equipment. I can literally walk into a room with the patient and can begin scanning. Clarius will be ideal for pain management and limited interventional procedures such as line placements, thoracenteses, paracenteses and biopsies."
"By focusing on exceptional image quality, we have succeeded in producing a handheld ultrasound scanner that appeals to a broad spectrum of physicians," said Laurent Pelissier, Chairman and CEO of Clarius Mobile Health. "We look forward to demonstrating the unique capabilities of Clarius Scanners to the radiology community."
Founded by ultrasound innovators, Clarius Mobile Health aims to make ultrasound available to all clinicians. Our affordable handheld ultrasound scanners offer clinicians the freedom to use ultrasound anywhere they need it. Clarius is ISO certified and is pending regulatory clearance.

Q: Is JSF 2.2 good choice to run simple web application? I am a student and I know to programm in JAVA SE pretty well. However I have no web development experience.
This year I am going to do my bachelor thesis and I would like to hone my skills in JAVA EE. I would like to build a simple web application - something similar to "trivago" so people come to my website and compare prices of hotels in their desired destination.
This web application should run along with hibernate and web-services (Rest) as well. Is it good choice to build core of this web application in JSF ? Does it cooperate with hibernate and Rest without any problems ?
I've read a lot of stuff on the internet people claming Spring MVC is superior. Some of them even claim you should avoid JSF if possible since it's horrible to code in and that it doesn't support MVC architecture well... However I think JSF 2.2 make a lot of progress compared to JSF 1.2. Is it a good choice for my simple web application use JSF or should I look for another framework like Spring ?
Thanks

A: I've used both JSF 2.X and Spring MVC for basic web projects. I liked JSF better, though it is newer and not as common as Spring/MVC. JSF is conceptually different from Spring MVC in that in JSF you are essentially tying a bean to a page whereas in Spring MVC you are operating within the Spring framework. If you have no web development experience I'd write a few simple JSP pages to get the hang of things first.
Also, with Spring MVC I found myself quickly steered into Thymeleaf for the client/web pages and though it was effective I didn't develop much of an affinity for it. JSF with Primefaces was effective though a little underwhelming. I was also able to use Bootstrap, and even found a demo somewhere for Angular JS within JSF. I concur with the comments that the client side framework, e.g., node JS, Angular JS, Primefaces, Richfaces, what-have-you should be something that you consider very carefully for the client side of web-development. You really need to be able to understand and talk Ajax or some kind of javascript to server communication for your webpages to be up to par.

A: For many years I developed applications in JSF 1.* and 2.*.  Now with Jax-RS, we've switched to AngularJS for a frontend with RESTful endpoints.  I would never go back to JSF.
If you're just starting off, I would start learning Node.js + Hapi.js + Aurelia.  That's the future, and the entire stack is javascript.  With the recent adoption of ECMAScript 6 (ES6, ie Javascript spec), and ES7 on the horizon, node.js is the way to go.
Bottom line, skip JSF.  Either go node, or do Aurelia (or AngularJS) + Jax-RS.

Ashley Madison offers $380K reward for data-leak information amid customer suicide reports

Avid Life Media, the company behind Ashley Madison — an online service that helps married people have affairs — is to offer a CAD$500,000 ($380,000) reward for information that leads to the "identification, arrest and prosecution" of the people responsible for a data leak that revealed the identities of millions of users.
The reward comes as unconfirmed reports emerge that two former Ashley Madison clients have committed suicide in the wake of the massive data breach. The revelation was made at a police press conference in Toronto earlier today, where Avid Life Media is headquartered.
"As of this morning, we have two unconfirmed reports of suicides that are associated to the leaks of Ashley Madison's customer profiles," said acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans.
Though he didn't elaborate on the reports, a San Antonio publication ran a piece last week saying a number of @sanantonio.gov email addresses had shown up in the data dump. A city employee subsequently committed suicide, though it wasn't clear whether it was directly related to the leak.
Evans also warned that people searching for data from the Ashley Madison leak could be targeted by other cybercriminals.

— Toronto Police (@TorontoPolice) August 24, 2015
Founded in 2001, Ashley Madison has built a big business off the back of its slogan, "Life is short. Have an affair," amassing almost 40 million users along the way. However, in mid-July the site was seemingly compromised by a group that called itself "The Impact Team," claiming to have procured the personal data of millions of users.
The group said it had stolen the information because of Ashley Madison's policy of not deleting personal information after a user had paid for it to be deleted. Some limited data trickled out initially, but the big data dump kicked off on August 18, with many gigabytes of information posted online.
There have been many high-profile data breaches of late, but the nature of the Ashley Madison leak is particularly notable. Not only is it one of the biggest hacks ever, affecting 33 million accounts, but with a gargantuan trove of information on people who may have cheated on their partners, it was feared this could lead to the destruction of families and careers.
While Toronto Police stated that the suicide reports are still unconfirmed, it does give the biggest hint yet that the impact of the information leak could extend beyond what many people feared.
"The ripple effect of the Impact Team's actions has — and will continue to have — a long-term social and economic impact, and they have already sparked spin-offs for crime and further victimization," added Evans.
Though the Ashley Madison breach is still being referred to as a "hack," implying the perpetrators weren't from within the company, some reports also suggest that it may have been an inside job, initiated by a former or current employee.

At least one Twin Peaks mystery was solved today with the announcement that Showtime's forthcoming revival of David Lynch's surrealist drama will premiere in "early 2017." Early 2017 replaces the previous announced release date of "hopefully sometime between now and the moment the planet is swallowed by a dazzling supernova." Showtime president David Nevins announced the appropriately mysterious date at the Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour, where he told reporters Lynch and the crew are roughly halfway done with production.
Nevins' most optimistic plan was to launch the show this summer, but he said Lynch's current production pace makes a 2016 release nearly impossible. But Nevins promised Twin Peaks will be well worth the wait, as he watched around 25 "stupendous" minutes of the footage Lynch has already shot. The other silver lining is a potentially longer series than the nine episodes originally announced, though the episode count has yet to be finalized. As previously reported, the series will take place in the present day, a full 25 years after the original events that creeped the hell out of everyone. Kyle MacLachlan and Miguel Ferrer are reprising their roles, while Laura Dern joined the cast in a top-secret role yet to be announced. But Dern's role should leak any minute now. It's not like Lynch is particular about these things.

Can I change the locks or force my ex to move out?
One question that I am often asked by people, usually at the start of a matter is whether or not they can change the locks on the family home. The simple answer is if the property is in joint names then neither party should really seek to exclude the other person without that person's consent. Sometimes I am also asked whether or not a person can make another person move out of the family home so for example if a husband and wife are separating, a wife might ask whether or not she can exclude her husband from the property. There are some circumstances in which this can be done and what I would advise anybody is to seek advice from a lawyer about whether or not they fit those circumstances at that time.

President Ntaryamira Day
President Ntaryamira Day is a holiday that's observed annually on April 6th in the Republic of Burundi. It commemorates the life of President Cyprien Ntaryamira on the anniversary of his death in 1994. When the first democratic elections happened in June of 1993, Melchoir Ndadayer became president but was soon assassinated just a few months later. Burundi's Parliament elected Cyprien as the next president in early 1994.
However, he would die on April 6, 1994, when his plane was shot down while landing at Kigali International Airport in Rwanda. Also onboard was Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and he also died in the crash. These events would set off the Rwandan Genocide and result in one of the darkest periods in African history.
Facts About Burundi
Since the Republic of Burundi isn't a country everyone is familiar with, we thought that we'd list some of the facts that we learned about this country while working on this holiday.
For the first time in Olympic history, Burundi won a gold medal in 1996.
Gitega is the second-largest city in Burundi.
The disease kwashiorkor is common in Burundi. This disease is caused by a lack of protein and fat in a person's diet.
This country imports twice as much as it exports.
Burundians have to deal with corruption, poor infrastructure, and hunger.
Observing President Ntaryamira Day
In Burundi, this holiday is a very solemn occasion. It is a public holiday, so government buildings, schools, and businesses are closed on this day. This holiday is observed with solemn ceremonies and by speeches given by top government officials.
When is President Ntaryamira Day?

A women holds a J. Crew shopping bag.
You know how it is when you're in a dressing room and even the smallest size available is still too baggy? What, that's never happened to you? Well, just in case you know someone who is too small for a XXS or '00,' J. Crew has introduced a new '000' size for women with a 30.5″ bust and a mere 23″ waist. What does someone with a waist that small look like? Probably a little like Keira Knightly who is famous for her waspy middle. Or burlesque star Dita von Teese who says she's been wearing a corset for decades to keep her 22-inch waist as she ages.
However, the retailer has received some criticism for introducing the triple zero or 'XXXS' size. "J.Crew's vanity sizing has reached a whole new level of crazy," wrote the fashion blog Racked. "What's next, negative numbers?" But is a triple zero really that much smaller than a regular '0'? After all, a '00' or a '0' can range from a 22′ to a 25′ inch waist depending on the brand. And the fashion industry has long been accused of vanity sizing, a downwards trend in size numbers in recent decades despite the average woman becoming heavier over the same time period. According to the 2003 SizeUSA study, the average woman is about 5'4″ and 150 pounds, which is 20 pounds heavier than 40 years ago.
But J. Crew insists that the new '000' size has nothing to do with vanity. "We are simply addressing the demand coming from Asia for smaller sizes than what we had carried," a J. Crew spokesperson told Today. "Our sizes typically run big and the Asia market tends to run small." And it's true that all that vanity sizing has left the truly small out in the cold and not just in Asia. Nicole Miller introduced a size 0 (25½-inch waist) about 15 years ago because the company had a strong presence in California there was lots of demand from their Asian customers for something smaller.
In the meantime, we've all gotten used to the idea of a size zero—and thanks to vanity sizing more of us can fit into one. Even the double zero doesn't look as strange as it used to. So who knows, maybe sizes will keep creeping into the negative side of the number line and we'll all be some kind of zero.

Otago "best decision ever" for Bangkok alumnus
Monday 24 September 2018 3:23pm
NZ Ambassador to Thailand H E Taha Macpherson (left) with Otago alumna Ayudh Nakaprasit who was recently inducted into the NZ Embassy in Thailand Hall of Fame
Otago graduate and recent New Zealand Embassy in Thailand Alumni Hall of Fame inductee Ayudh Nakaprasit credits his time at the University as key to his academic and business success.
Ayudh was inducted into the Hall of Fame in Bangkok at the end of August, by the NZ Ambassador to Thailand H E Taha Macpherson. The award is only handed out to six New Zealand alumni each year.
"Otago made me everything I am," says Ayudh, who attended Cashmere High School in Christchurch from 1993-1996 and graduated with a Bachelor of Tourism from Otago in 2002.
He went on to do a Master of Aviation Management degree at Griffith University in Brisbane and then his PhD at Cranfield University in England.
Ayudh is now the Managing Director of Eastiny Group of Hotels and Resorts, in Pattaya, Thailand.
"I am extremely thankful to the foundation that I had at the University of Otago many years prior. The academic members at Otago Business School had very high expectations of all their students," he says. "Without their love and dedication in helping me to be the best version of myself, I would never be the person that I am today."
In his citation, Ayudh says the key advantage of the Business School is that the lecturers have hands-on experience in business, thereby linking the academic to the practical world.
Currently, he works at a strategic level focussing on bringing in revenue for his company.
"I confidently apply the knowledge I learned at the University to my job. The programme prepared me to be well-rounded for the jobs in the business arena."
Each year six alumni from universities, schools and independent training programmes are chosen to receive the award. The criteria include a significant study period in New Zealand and at least a vice-president-level position in a big or well-known company. If the alumna is the owner of the business, the revenue should be a minimum of THB 50 million (NZ$2,336,599).
"The University of Otago has established a wonderful place in my heart. I was only there for three years. I never knew that it would turn out to be the best decision ever."
Attending the ceremony to see Ayudh receive his award was Otago's Language Centre and Foundation Year Chief Executive Officer Roger McElwain.

As I assemble this interview, I keep getting e-mails. Mando Alvarado is looking for an actor in his new play Post No Bills, which will have a reading at INTAR; Repertorio Espagnol is advertising play submission opportunities; and Erik Ehn forwards information about the political unrest in Kenya. What do these three e-mails share? They're all sent on behalf of the NoPassport (NOPE) listserve moderated by playwright and politico-spearheader Caridad Svich.
On the occasion of NOPE's upcoming conference, Dreaming the Americas/The Body Politic in Performance, on Feb. 22 at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center at CUNY Graduate School, Caridad talked about NOPE's history and future.
Eliza Bent (Rail): Tell me a bit about how NoPassport started.
Caridad Svich: In late 2002, I kept having conversations about words and music with fellow artists, mainly playwrights, and how we could create new kinds of lyric texts for the stage—Erik Ehn, Sheila Callaghan, Lisa D'Amour, Christine Evans, Michael Gladis, Gary Winter…there were about 12 of us. We met and said, "Let's do this. Let's become a band of sorts. We are NoPassport!" And the idea behind it initially was to experiment purely with virtual space, songwriting and dramaturgy, but beneath the initial impulse was a larger impulse to make work that crossed borders and boundaries, real and imagined. So we set up a list-serve, and we started making discreetly adventurous texts. These collaborative texts grew into many conversations about art and theater, which led to a manifesto called "Dirty Thoughts about Money," which was published on Jonathan Kalb's online theater journal & forum Hotreview (www.hotreview.org). The purpose was just to create work and collaborate across the country.
Svich: Yes. During the timeframe that NoPassport began, I had a PEW/TCG National Theatre Artist Residency at INTAR. Towards the end of my residency, founding artistic director Max Ferra kept saying "We should have a big meeting with artists who have been part of INTAR's history to talk about what the future of this theater company can be." It was a great idea, but I felt that even though INTAR is a significant part of U.S. Latino/Latina theater history, there were so many artists across the U.S. who could contribute to a more global conversation about where and how U.S. Latino/Latina writing and theater-making could find new creative paths. So under the auspices of the TCG/Pew residency, I organized something I'd always dreamed of organizing: a convergence of U.S. Latino/Latina artists from around the country for a public conversation. [Its form was] a panel about the "Re-Shaping of the American Theatre" and all these amazing colleagues—Karen Zacarias, Amparo Garcia-Crow, Oliver Mayer, Migdalia Cruz, Alberto Sandoval, Eduardo Machado, Michael John Garces, Nilaja Sun, etc.—showed up, many on their own dime, from California, Texas, D.C., Massachusetts. I was humbled by it, and very moved.
Rail: Tell me about the panel.
Svich: There were maybe 15 of us. It was a public event and I wanted it to be a marker of where we were, where we were going in the field. Nilo Cruz had just won the Pulitzer for Anna in the Tropics and there was a feeling that an enormous shift was about to happen not only for new writing in general but for U.S. Latino/a drama. At the same time thereabouts, ASK Theater Projects, a major organization devoted to new play development, shut down in L.A., which left a huge void in the theater community. So there was this sense of uplift about possibilities as well as concern (and this was months before South Coast Repertory closed its Hispanic Playwrights Project and the Mark Taper Forum theater shut down its five developmental new writing labs) for where the next generations of artists were going to find their voices, be mentored and nurtured.
The panel was supposed to last two hours… But we just kept talking and it turned into a four-hour jam session.
So I pitched the idea of expanding the concept of NoPassport beyond an intimate, virtual and sometimes live theater collective to my initial NoPassport-er colleagues, and they all felt it was an exciting step to take. Then the question came up, "Well, what happens now?" It's not about being exclusively one thing or another; if we're to honor NoPassport conceptually then it's all-inclusive, even though, yes, a large portion of NoPassport is U.S. Latino/a artists. But in the end, this is about cross-cultural pollinization of ideas, temperaments, methodologies and ways of seeing theater and performance. Still, you can only exist virtually for so long. So it became clear that we needed to have a big physical event.
Rail: And this was the event at the Segal Center last year?
Svich: I spoke to Frank Hentschker at the Segal Center at CUNY Graduate School about creating a two-day conference for NoPassport. He said: "How many rooms do you need? Can we cater it for you?" He was truly instrumental in making things happen. The 2007 Dreaming the Americas/Diversity & Difference in Performance established the physical identity of NOPE. Out of the energy of that conference the idea of doing this year's conference arose and also the idea of the publication entity—let's get the new work out there so people don't have to burrow in their filing cabinets looking for unpublished stuff or work that's now out of print.
Rail: Yeah, if the work is there it should be there.
Svich: Exactly. So three volumes will be launched at this year's conference (collections from Oliver Mayer, Anne Garcia-Romero and Alejandro Morales), and now we're looking at proposals for the next round, [that will likely include] a hip hop theater collection or a new textbook reader.
But that's only one aspect of what NoPassport does. It looks like a Los Angeles conference is going to happen. And maybe something in Austin and I'm hoping in Chicago.
Rail: What are you excited about for this coming New York conference?
Svich: I'm excited—I think this happened when Steven Duncombe came on board as our keynote speaker—by the idea that it's shaped principally around the political, even though there are sessions that are going to move a little bit afield from that. Also, it's an election year so it seems appropriate. For example, there's a session on translation, and I think we'll talk about the political place the translator is placed in when you become responsible for that work to another culture. I think an audience often goes in and thinks "that's the play" and forgets that it's been translated by someone, [that] you are receiving it through this other person. What are the politics of that?
Rail: I remember going through a program and highlighting all the things that interested me and it was all yellow at the end!
Svich: It was wild, right? It was alive and electric. Last year the session on Maria Irene Fornes was so moving. The fact that Bonnie Marranca spoke so eloquently, a year before the Letters from Cuba volume was published by PAJ, and that Migdalia Cruz spoke so openly about Irene's influence and teaching, and that that space was created in a way for looking back whilst looking forwards…so important I think. So many of the artists in NoPassport have been influenced directly by Fornes. But there were so many panels last year. Listening to David Greenspan, Mac Wellman, Beatriz Rizk, Jorge Huerta, Daniel Alexander Jones, so, so many incredible people…it was a feast. This year we're trying to get more information out there about the conference, to raise awareness of NOPE. After all, we're this strange animal. We're a theater alliance and a coalition but we're also a kiosk, a platform, an advocacy group, and basically an interventionist group.
Svich: Yeah, we go in and we say, "This is important." We go in and we put a book out there. We go in and try to stir things up. And hopefully that stirring up will lead to action—as opposed to just constantly stirring, which is my fear.
Rail: How do you avoid that fear of just stirring the pot?
Svich: There are several things about that. For example, the Brownout panel, which happened in June, happened because of all this forceful and wide-ranging discussion over the listserve about the casting and training of actors of color, and how when we make work the choices we make about who's on stage are crucial to either moving the cultural dialogue forward or backward. Ephraim Lopez, of the Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts, and I sat down and said, "Can we present this somewhere as opposed to just talking about it?" So, with the graciousness of the Segal Center, the Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts and NoPassport, a public event happened in June 2007 (a version of which will appear in the March American Theater). The Alliance is hosting a second Brownout panel in this NoPassport conference to keep having that conversation. This doesn't mean that tomorrow all casting processes will change, but I think that if people speak up with passion, rigor and intelligence, there will hopefully be people listening on the other end.
I also feel like stirring up for stirring up's sake is part of what NOPE is about. It's still a moderated group. Currently it's by invitation only because I feel like people don't have as frank conversations with each other if they think the whole world is listening. But there is this feeling that it's the 300 of us listening. It's a place where people feel—for lack of a better word—safe. And people can say what they feel about key issues in the arts, in theater, in education, in translation, and so on.
In terms of moving forward, one goal would be that there's a performance component at some point: works by NoPassport presented in an evening. Because making stuff, creating, was what NOPE was all about originally and to my mind still is. We create art! We create conferences! I'm hoping we'll get back to making a piece together, though. 300 artists make one huge word-quilt with music!
Rail: Do you think you'll ever return more closely to the "words and music" version of NoPassport?
Svich: Yeah, I'm hoping at some point it'll come back. I think the balance of the more private hub of conversations on the listserves leading to public conversations—to civic dialogue—is really important to keep going. Because in its own grassroots, humble way, if someone listens in on a panel or takes part in a Q&A at a conference and that person feels empowered to buck the status quo in their theater-work or how they work in a classroom or laboratory or how they advocate for language that is inclusive and casting and training that is not broken down into white and non-white, then, yes, that's the pie. And NoPassport has, if not eliminated, then at very least helped make the borders between and among us more porous.

B&H Photo Video has a number of excellent pre-holiday deals!
They have the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM for Canon plus a free Sigma 1.4x Extender for $1149.00. The lens is regularly $1399 and the extender is regularly $199, so this is a $450 savings!
B&H Photo Video is also discounting the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan with 1TB Cloud Storage (12 Month Subscription, Download). It's now $179.88 — discounted $60 from the regular price of $240. This is the 'upgraded' version of Creative Cloud Photography plan, which comes with 1TB of cloud storage (rather than the usual 20GB).
Finally, they have a sale on the Samsung 32GB EVO+ UHS-I microSDHC Memory Card with SD Adapter for $9.99. Save $12 on this UHS-I microSD card that is rated up to 95 MB/s read and a minimum of 10 MB/s write.
This is the several-years-old Sigma model, is it not? I don't seem to recall this lens being very competitive versus the Tamron (G1 or G2).

Police canine wags its way to retirement

Dark, a Belgian Malinois, busted several drug possessions cases over his career.
PORTSMOUTH- A public servant is hanging up his collar after seven and a half years of service in the Portsmouth Police Department's K-9 unit.
The department announced the retirement of Dark, a Belgian Malinois, last week and he will be spending the rest of his life with his handler's family.
With Dark since training, when the dog was only 18 months old, Lt. Josh Justice was emotional about his canine's retirement from the work but realized it was one he deserved.
"A lot of times, you're definitely spending more time with the dog than you are with anyone else in the police department," said Justice, whose daughter purchased Dark for him. "I hope other officers get this opportunity to create these bonds with the animals."
Adjustments are still being made by Justice and the dog, where the man works without his fury companion and the dog wraps its head around a more typical life as a house pet.
"I'm just going to let him enjoy being a dog, not having to work all the time and have some quality of life," said Justice. "He's been a good all-around dog, solid since I've got him."
Among the dog's greatest achievements, Dark was trusted on several big drug possession cases and caught those attempting to flee arrests. Reaching top speeds of 30 miles per hour, Justice said those that attempted to get away were rarely if ever successful.
"Having a police K-9, in my opinion, changes the dynamics of deescalating certain situations," he said, the department typically having one or two dogs in the unit.
In retirement, Dark will be joined two other dogs in the Justice household: another retired K-9 from a different department and a two-year-old German Shepherd. Justice hopes this pairing, along with accompanying the family on trips, will keep Dark active in this next stage.
Also in a new stage, Justice does not plan on being the handler for the next Portsmouth K-9 due to his responsibilities as a lieutenant, but plans on helping the officer who will take that role.
"It's been a good ride," said Justice. "When I got into law enforcement, this was something I always wanted to do but never thought I'd get the opportunity."
"It's been by the hardest job I've done in my career, but also the most rewarding."

Q: Is there a system variable to access the last subroutine return value in Perl? Perl has a system variables for generically accessing variables within a given context, for example, using $1 to after a regular expression to access the first grouped item or $_ in a loop to access the current value.
I was curious if there is a similar system variable for returned values from subroutines.
ex.
my $var = (format($num)) ? $_ : 'N/A';

where $_ would be the system variable to access the result of format($num) if it is defined.

A: No, there is not.
However, you can rewrite your example to use either the or || or the defined-or // operator.
my $foo = frobnicate() || 'N/A'; # only true values, so no 0, q{} or undef
my $bar = frobnicate() // 'N/A'; # no undef

Of course this will not keep the value around for a while to use it further down in the code.
This will also only work if the return value of the sub is only one value. If there is a list returned, it will use the right-most value from the list.
sub frobnicate { qw/a b 0/ }
my $var = frobnicate() || 'N/A';
say $var;

The above will print N/A.
sub frobnicate { qw/a b c/ }
my $var = frobnicate() || 'N/A';
say $var;

While this will print c.

Don't try to be short for the sake of having short code. Most of the time, what you want is easy to read code instead.

Note that format is a keyword. Don't use it as a subroutine identifier.

La provincia de Barbacoas fue una división administrativa y territorial de la República de la Nueva Granada, creada por medio de la ley del 8 de junio de 1846, con los cantones occidentales de la provincia de Pasto y los cantones meridionales de la provincia de Buenaventura. La provincia existió hasta el 22 de mayo de 1855, cuando fue suprimida y su territorio repartido entre las provincias de Pasto y de Popayán.

Historia

La provincia en la época precolombina estuvo habitada por aborígenes pertenecientes a la cultura Tumaco-La Tolita, que se caracterizaron por sus elaborados artefactos hechos de oro. Los artículos encontrados hasta el momento de dicha cultura datan de entre el 600 a. C. y el 400 d. C.

Para el momento de la llegada de Colón a América, en la entonces denominada Provincia Indígena de Barbacoas, única región del hoy departamento del Cauca organizado como nación indígena (similar a la confederación muisca), habitaban tres grupos indígenas distintos: los barbacoas, los telembíes y los iscuandés, con número aproximado a los 12.000 individuos. Según varios reportes de la época, estas tribus nombraban a tres ancianos y el grupo conjunto conformaba un senado que regía toda la nación.

Aproximadamente hacia 1590, el gobernador de la provincia de Popayán emprendió la conquista de esta región, que se demoró unos 10 años debido a lo aguerrido del carácter de sus pobladores. Finalmente en 1600, Francisco Parada y soldados provenientes de Popayán, Quito y Pasto, tras varias duras batallas, logró conquistar el territorio, matando más de la mitad de los indígenas barbacoas. Al ocurrir esto, las otras tribus pidieron la tregua. Al concluir esta, los iscuandés y los barbacoas fueron sometidos, pero no los telembíes, que sufrieron el empalamiento a manos de Parada. Después de la completa reducción de los habitantes, Parada fundó la ciudad de Barbacoas, que se convirtió en capital de esta región.

Durante la colonia, el territorio perteneció inicialmente a las gobernaciones y provincias de Quito y Popayán, si bien, desde el  formó parte sólo de la provincia de Popayán. Después de la independencia, en 1821, el territorio pasó a integrar el departamento grancolombiano del Cauca hasta 1831. En 1843, se erigió el valle central del río Patía como una nueva provincia. Más tarde en 1857, las provincias de Buenaventura, Cauca, Chocó, Pasto y Popayán, y el territorio del Caquetá, constituyeron el Estado Soberano del Cauca, convertido en departamento por la reforma constitucional en 1886.

Geografía

Límites

Al momento de su erección, Barbacoas confinaba con las siguientes provincias (siguiendo el sentido de las agujas del reloj): Buenaventura, Popayán, y Túquerres. Los límites entre provincias no estaban del todo claros, pero Agustín Codazzi durante las expediciones que se llevaron a cabo durante la Comisión Corográfica (1850-1859), realizó una minuciosa descripción de los linderos, así como de la geografía de la mayoría de las provincias que conformaban la República de la Nueva Granada.

A grandes rasgos, los límites que correspondían a la Provincia de Barbacoas en 1855 comenzaban en la boca de la quebrada El Pital, en el océano Pacífico, aguas arriba hasta el punto donde caen las aguas del río Agua Clara al Chucrí; desde aquí siguiendo las cumbres de la Cordillera Occidental hasta el cerro Coconegro, pasando por los cerros Boquerón y Guapí, y los ríos San Juan y Timbiquí.

Después por el río Patía hasta el cerro Sotomayor, y de este por el río Yaguapí aguas abajo hasta su unión con el Telembí, siguiendo luego por el curso del río Yambí hasta su cabecera en el cerro Quesbí, de allí al cerro Cartagena y pasando por los ríos Pususquer y Chucures hasta su boca. La frontera continuaba hasta la cabecera del río La Vega, atravesaba el Yalambí y la quebrada Pialque hasta llegar al cerro Carrizal. Finalmente desde allí recorría las cumbres de la cordillera para llegar al río Mira y este aguas abajo hasta su desembocadura en el océano Pacífico.

Aspecto físico

La provincia de Barbacoas comprendía lo que actualmente es la parte occidental del departamento colombiano del Nariño. La característica predominante era el valle del río Patía, que aguas arriba se estrecha y forma la Hoz de Minamá. Las cumbres de la Cordillera Occidental definían en gran parte el límite oriental de la provincia. Las selvas cubrían buena parte de la región.

División territorial

La provincia durante su existencia estuvo dividida en los cantones de Barbacoas, Iscuandé, Tumaco y Guapi. Todos ellos estaban divididos en distritos parroquiales y aldeas, de la siguiente manera:

 Cantón de Barbacoas: Barbacoas, San José y San Pablo.
 Cantón de Guapi: Guapi, Micai y Timbiquí.
 Cantón de Iscuandé: Iscuandé.
 Cantón de Tumaco: Tumaco y Salahonda.

Demografía

En 1843, la provincia contaba con  habitantes. Según el censo de 1851, la provincia contaba con  habitantes, de los cuales  eran hombres y  eran mujeres.

Wildlife Trade Campaign during COVID-19
Bumbuku Creatives Logo
WWF Survey Chart
Digital Storytelling Agency Bumbuku Creatives interviewed with WWF about the relationship between wildlife trade and disease outbreaks.
93% of people support closure of illegal wildlife markets in South-East Asia and Hong Kong."
— Aslıhan Tümer, WWF Head of Campaigns
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, May 31, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — WWF Wildlife Trade Campaign during COVID-19
Over 90% support closure of illegal wildlife markets in South-East Asia and Hong Kong
After the current pandemic, COVID-19, was confirmed as a zoonotic disease – transferable from animals to humans – Digital Storytelling Agency Bumbuku Creatives interviewed the Head of Global Campaigns at WWF Aslihan Tumer about the relationship between wildlife trade and disease outbreaks.
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has been working towards the closure of unregulated wildlife trade across South-East Asia. They are running campaigns in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Japan. The pandemic outbreak has placed immense focus on wildlife crime and the campaign.
In order to benchmark their stories and the impact they are trying to create during these turbulent times, NGO-focused digital storytelling agency Bumbuku Creatives reached out to WWF and talked about what wildlife trade is, how to regulate it in a functional way, and its impact on the world, with Aslihan Tumer, the Head of Global Campaigns at WWF.
Experts have warned the global community of how trading markets can bring about diseases but the call-to-action has been close to nothing.
WWF has been working on the Illegal Wildlife Trade campaign for a long time but now the focus has shifted. This shift is towards closing illegal, unregulated, and high-risk wildlife markets. Legal wildlife trade entails "plants and animals that are caught or harvested from the wild and then legitimately sold as food, pets, ornamental plants, leather, tourist ornaments and medicine." The problem, however, appears when illegal wildlife trade occurs.
Bumbuku gets up close and personal with Aslıhan Tumer about the WWF campaign against illegal wildlife trade.
They discuss the context behind what illegal wildlife trade is, why its demand is so high, its relationship with disease containment, and finally, what can be done to mitigate potential disease outbreaks. The interview gives hope towards a future where illegal wildlife trade is better regulated. Most importantly, it shows the current climate of support for governments to take action.
For WWF's campaign against illegal wildlife trade, the essential aim is to end trade of high-risk taxa from which wild animals end up in markets like those in Wuhan, China. Through this, they will be able to remove one of the primary ways in which zoonoses are transmitted. Besides laying out the context of wildlife crime, the interview tries to spread awareness among NGOs, leading change-makers, and the general public. Bumbuku Creatives promoted WWF's "Opinion Survey on Covid-19 and Wildlife Trade in 5 Asian Markets" using data-driven storytelling. It builds a story about the relationship between humans and nature that resonates with anyone who will read it, and be interested in exploring Bumbuku's works.

Gary Davies' Epic Fundraising Challenge 550Km run from Malaga to Madrid – Running for Carbonquo
Running for Carbonquo
Project Planet founder Gary Davies is doing a 550km run in 10 days to raise funds to aid the development of the Project Planet – Carbonquo platform.
— Project Planet
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, May 30, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — In a recent interview Gary Davies comments on the Carbonquo' Fundraising Challenge.
As founder of Project Planet, I feel it's my responsibility to do whatever it takes to rally support. Ultimately, it's the people who we are able to inspire to take action that will mark the success of this fantastic initiative.
We need many voices to ensure that the major commerce and retailers players of the world stand up and take note".
The challenge begins in Malaga on Friday 25th September and finishes 10 days later on Sunday 4th October in Madrid
Gary went on to say: "I'm really not looking forward to running 55km a day for 10 days straight, that's 13km more than a marathon EVERY DAY!
whilst I pride myself to be in good shape, I've never done anything like this before and I know it's going to be next level hard. It could go one of two ways, either I make it and the campaign is a success, or I die trying.
For me it's about creating social awareness around the initiative. The Project Planet platform will be a success if everyone gets behind it
Doing this insane challenge is a call to action for people everywhere to take a stand in the fight against Global Warming .
We have created a world where climate change is affecting every corner of our planet.
Nature longer determines our survival, we now determine the survival of nature
We can still turn the tide and stop global warming, but it's going to take more than just a wish for change, to succeed. We're all going to have to do our bit and running 550km in 10 days is mine.
A day when we no longer worry about rising sea levels, droughts, disease, diminishing forests or animal species dying, is on the horizon.
If we are ALL willing to take action, we can undoubtedly preserve the wonders of our marvellous planet for our children and the generations to come
Our future, their future, hangs in the balance, and our actions will determine the fate, of all of us.
No God, Government or scientist is going to save our home. It's up to US".
Gary intends to raise £55,000 and would love support from individuals and businesses who want to play their part in helping reverse the trend of global warming.

International Student Entrepreneurs Awarded Top Honors in 2020 Conrad Challenge Virtual Innovation Summit
The 2019-20 Conrad Challenge award winners were announced today
37 finalist teams from around the world convened for the three-day summit and showcased inventions designed to solve pressing global challenges
[Our students] have proven, once again, that they are truly the game-changers who will shape the future… We can hardly wait to see what they accomplish."
— Nancy Conrad, founding chairman, Conrad Foundation
HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA, May 29, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Seven teams of high school-aged student innovators from around the world were awarded top honors during the 2020 Conrad Challenge Virtual Innovation Summit, held May 27-29 on the Hopin platform. The Summit was the final round of the 2019-20 Conrad Challenge, the annual competition that unleashes the potential of students to use their innovative and entrepreneurial skills to create solutions for some of the most pressing global challenges. More than 600 teams of 2-5 students between the ages of 13-18 entered the 2019-20 competition, a Conrad Challenge record.
This was the 14th year of the Conrad Challenge, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Innovation Summit was held online for the first time. This successful pivot in event planning allowed the Summit to proceed and gave these deserving students the opportunity to experience the culmination of their year-long efforts.
The Challenge began in August, when teams submitted their initial entry and worked on their investor pitch, which they completed in November. Qualifying teams then advanced to the second round in mid-November and worked through mid-January to develop and refine a business plan, market study and visual representation of their commercially viable solutions. Their products were then reviewed and scored by subject matter experts and judges before the finalist teams in each category were selected.
The 37 finalist teams who competed for top awards at the Virtual Innovation Summit hail from eight countries: Australia, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and the United States. Each presented their new product in one of six categories: Aerospace & Aviation; Cyber-Technology & Security; Energy & Environment; Health & Nutrition; Transforming Education Through Technology; and Smoke-Free World. After submitting a video pitch and executive summary the week prior, the student teams participated in a live-video question and answer session with the panel of judges with expertise in business, industry, research and academia.
"Once again, the Conrad Foundation hosted a record number of young innovators who participated in the Conrad Challenge. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to host our in-person Innovation Summit at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Like seasoned entrepreneurs, our students pivoted to an online platform and delivered their fantastic product ideas to our expert judges," said Nancy Conrad founding chairman of the Conrad Foundation. "They have proven, once again, that they are truly the game-changers who will shape the future. We are so proud of them and their dedication to creating commercially viable solutions to global and local challenges. We can hardly wait to see what they accomplish."

ECER Inc. is Celebrating 20 years in the Electronics Recycling Business
SHIRLEY, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Over the last twenty years, we've seen a lot happen: times of feast & famine, trials & tribulations, prosperity & adversity, and all kinds of new advancements in the technology sector. At the beginning of that time period, ECER Inc. started as a small electronics recycling facility in Leominster, MA. From its humble beginnings up to the present day, guided by passion for sustainability and advanced by solid work ethics, the company has grown from a local central Massachusetts recycler to a regional powerhouse with customers all over New England, eventually relocating to a more expansive location in Shirley, MA. While this year marks ECER Inc.'s 20th year in the electronics recycling industry, the company is not content to rest on its laurels. By 2030, they hope to increase their e-waste recycling capabilities by 200% and expand to other states on the outskirts of their current area of operation.
The company's longevity can be attributed to a number of factors. From day one, they have always made it a point to have prompt, courteous, reliable service. Fostering a positive relationship between company & customer starts with treating others the way you wish to be treated and always keeping your promises. Having loyal, dedicated management & employees have also played a large part in ECER Inc.'s long term success.
ECER Inc. looks back fondly on the last twenty years, but is always looking ahead and completely focused on the next twenty. They remain steadfast in their commitment toward total customer satisfaction.

Dr. Eugene Gu: Changing the World Through Cool Quit
Dr. Eugene Gu
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, May 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — When it comes to changing the world in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, not many have been as effective as Dr. Eugene Gu. Dr. Gu is the CEO and co-founder of Cool Quit, LLC, a smoking cessation telemedicine company that has now turned its attention, infrastructure, and resources to the fight against COVID-19. "It may sound like a platitude by now, but I truly do believe that we are all in this together. That means we must all do what we can whether we are big or small to help each other and the American people during the worst pandemic in modern history."
With new updates to Cool Quit, it seems that Dr. Eugene Gu's stock is on the rise. "We are very happy to announce that we can now offer at-home coronavirus testing kits to patients." Eugene Gu said when talking about the latest telemedicine innovation in his product line. "We have effectively been able to leverage the changing healthcare laws and expansion of telemedicine allowances to get people free telehealthcare and even free home testing kits that are reimbursed by their insurance companies."
Before the at-home coronavirus testing kits were announced, however, Cool Quit had been already putting in the work with free COVID-19 screening, evaluation, and testing for elderly Medicare patients in 42 states including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia. "It was a huge deal and I am happy to say that thanks to the flexibility of our staff as well as our ability to stay vigilant and nimble, we were able to get testing set up in those locations and even rural underserved areas that needed it the most." Eugene Gu noted. "I think that right now, it is important for us to stand up for those that need help the most, and that means our elderly seniors who are most affected by this pandemic. We also are reaching out to patients with underlying health conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension." Eugene Gu continued.
Eugene Gu, it should be noted, is a Stanford trained medical doctor who found his way into the medical testing world. "It was a way for me to do something greater than just seeing patients one on one. I found it to be a way to impact communities in a more positive way." Eugene Gu said. "I found that developing telemedicine tools and health monitoring programs could impact more people at once than my practice ever could."
Eugene Gu is also quick to point out how impressed he is with the doctors within his own organization and their ability to react in times of crisis. "I think it is important that physicians always put their patients first." Eugene Gu noted. "For many of our physicians at Cool Quit, telemedicine is a completely new technology to them." Eugene Gu continues. "But they learned quickly and adapted to the rapidly changing healthcare needs that the worst pandemic in modern history requires. I couldn't be more proud of their hard work and dedication".

Ultrasonic Object Detection Sensors Reduce Costs on the Farm
Ultrasonic Level and Distance Sensors
sonic spray for farmers
Senix ToughSonic Ultrasonic Level and Distance Sensors with Built-in Switch Capabilities can Reduce Costs and Saves Farmers Money
HINESBURG, VT, USA, May 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — An innovative sonic spray attachment from a farm equipment manufacturer uses Senix ultrasonic level and distance sensors for object detection to detect orchard trees and precisely control the application of sprayed materials. The farmers that use this sonic spray attachment use 25% to 40% less spray material.
The sonic spray saves farmers money by reducing the amount of spray material used, simply by turning off the spray when no tree is present. The sonic spray reduces material usage by 25% to 40%, depending on tree size and row spacing. It also reduces unproductive trips back and forth to refill the sprayer. Even small growers can realize a return on investment in less than two years. There are very few agricultural investments that offer that kind of ROI and an environmental benefit as well.
The sonic spray attachment uses six high-speed Senix ToughSonic 50 ultrasonic sensors to detect trees. The spray valves are turned on or off at exactly the right time to treat the trees, but not the empty space between the trees. When a tree is detected by one or more sensors, a signal is sent to the system controller. The sensor's analog output is combined with data on ground speed and operator inputs to control spray valves. This output is also displayed on the CAN display so the operator can see what each sensor is detecting.
The operator has push-button control over which sensor and spray zones are active and the maximum distance each sensor will measure. For example, if the display indicates that the sensors are picking up trees from the next row, the maximum detection distance can be reduced so the further trees are ignored. The SenixVIEW configuration and analysis software, allows farmers to adjust ultrasonic sensors during product development and testing. Being able to connect a laptop and fine tune system performance in the field definitely can accelerate the product development process. Further, the ability to provide the spray operators with real-time, push-button command over sensor behavior significantly improves control and productivity.
Synchronizing all six sensors to prevent them from receiving signals from one another was also important. Using the ToughSonic SYNCH feature and RS-485 serial output offered on all Senix sensors, farmers are able to tune the on-board sensor array. Master and slave sensors are defined and each one operates in precise synchronization with the others. A 50 millisecond measurement interval is maintained to detect small branches even while traveling at 3 mph to 4 mph.
The Senix ToughSonic ultrasonic sensor also provide simultaneous serial and digital outputs. The speed of RS-485 communications was necessary to synchronize all six sensors, while the analog output provides system control and operator display data. Senix ultrasonic sensors are unique in their ability to provide multiple simultaneous serial, analog and switch outputs.
Farm-tough ultrasonic sensors………….. any sensor installed on farm machinery has to be weather-tight, rugged and durable enough to withstand regular use in the field. Senix ToughSonic sensors are made of 316 Stainless Steel, with potted in electronics and have an IP68 rating.

Wesley Batterton Offers Hunting Tips to Stay Safe From Covid-19
Wesley Batterton
MONTGOMERY, TX, USA, May 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, Wesley Batterton has been concerned about how hunting and fishing could be affected. And as changing regulations and seasons affect hunters around the nation, Wesley Batterton is worried that some may take steps that could harm themselves or others. That's why he recently spoke out about safe ways to hunt during this crisis that prevent health issues.
Wesley Batterton has been social distancing since day one of the pandemic, he states, but knows that many people prefer spending time with friends and family members when hunting. So does he, but now is not the time to be too picky. As a result, Wesley Batterton has suggested that people who want to avoid Covid-19 should practice social distancing when out in the woods.
That doesn't mean you can't go out with friends, he says. Instead, Wesley Batterton states that you should both wear the best masks that you can find and stay six feet from each other. Put on your hunting gloves, too, to make aiming and shooting more comfortable. And Wesley Batterton also suggests sanitizing hands frequently during the hunt to avoid the spread further.
Ignore Opening Day
Opening Day is so huge in many parts of the country, Wesley Batterton says, that many schools close down to let students hunt. However, Covid-19 has changed the fun of this day and made the social excitement and interaction dangerous, Wesley Batterton says. So instead of going out on the first day of the season, he suggests staying home instead.
Wesley Batterton understands that such a suggestion may seem almost blasphemous for some hunters. It's not something that he enjoys, he states, but is an integral part of fighting off this pandemic. Wesley Batterton says that going out on another day – such as the second or third day – decreases your chances of spreading Covid-19 or getting it. It also reduces your chances of the big buck, he says, but the sacrifice is worth it.
Find Private Land
Lastly, Wesley Batterton states that it is a great idea to avoid state land, as much as possible, when hunting. State land is free to hunt on in most areas, he says, but will be filled with hunters like you looking to find the most prominent game. As a result, Wesley Batterton says that it is a better idea to take a break from these public lands and seek out private land where you can hunt.
Not everybody has the money to buy private land, he says, but that doesn't mean that private land is unavailable. Many people will rent out their land to hunters, Wesley Batterton says, and if you rent a piece of property for the whole season, you can hunt here without the fears of Covid-19.
REsurety launches REmap – expanding the clean energy industry's access to critical value and risk analytics
REsurety's new REmap tool shows how the COVID-19 shutdown, low natural gas prices, and high winds drove the wholesale value of electricity (weighted for time of production) to all-time lows in parts of the Lower Midwest – even dropping below $2 a MWh.
Map-based SaaS tool provides unprecedented insight into clean energy markets, illustrates COVID-19 impact on renewable projects and record-setting low prices
REmap is a sea change in the access to quantity and quality of data."
— Joan Hutchinson, Managing Director of Marathon Capital
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — A new information services product that harnesses a massive project performance dataset and suite of financial analytics that industry leaders use to make long-term asset and contract decisions for wind and solar energy has revealed that the low energy demand during the coronavirus shutdown, combined with low natural gas prices and high renewable generation, has resulted in unprecedented low power prices in multiple U.S. markets.
REsurety, the industry leader in clean energy valuation and risk analytics, said the insights available from its Renewable Energy Market Analytics Platform ("REmap") include that the production-weighted wholesale price of electricity for wind projects fell to all-time lows during the COVID-19 pandemic across markets including SPP, PJM and MISO – with extreme lows reaching below $2 per MWh for the entire month of April in high wind penetration regions such as Oklahoma.
REsurety today is publicly announcing the launch of its REmap information service. The REmap tool integrates weather and power market data at an unprecedented scale, calculating hourly financial performance for 15,000 operational and greenfield locations, which REsurety uses to provide clients with the industry-wide context and site-specific depth of insight needed to make better decisions faster.
"We're expanding the access to our secret sauce," said REsurety CEO Lee Taylor. For years, REsurety has used its proprietary data and analytics to support the analysis of hedging instruments. Now, through REmap, REsurety makes that insight available by subscription to support a much broader set of use cases, including greenfield prospecting, M&A diligence, and offtake and hedge analysis.
"Clean energy markets are going through a revolution," Taylor added. "The scale and complexity of risks facing clean energy projects and their offtakers are at an all-time high. Understanding and managing those risks requires a step change in information – and that's why we built REmap."
REmap leverages REsurety's unique expertise at the intersection of atmospheric science, power market modeling and big data. Billions of data points from many sources are collected, cleansed, and analyzed to provide the financial metrics that are critical to renewable energy decision makers' success. Existing customers include developers, hedge providers, C&I buyers, and advisors.
"REmap is a sea change in the access to quantity and quality of data," said Joan Hutchinson, Managing Director of Marathon Capital, an early REmap client. "It has assisted Marathon in providing our clients with data-driven insights and solutions efficiently – even before project data is shared."
Jim Howell, CEO of Birch Infrastructure, also a REmap client, commented, "Identifying the optimal location to invest in renewables has always been somewhat of a dark art – relying on intuition and point-specific analyses. REmap gives us the information we need to truly optimize our procurement and hedging activities."
Information about the REmap tool and its applications can be downloaded HERE, or for more information, go to resurety.com/remap.
Companies may request an online demo of the REmap product by a member of the REsurety team by contacting remap@resurety.com. Members of the news media may arrange for a demo by contacting Peter Kelley, peter@renewcomm.com, 202-270-8831.

UK Government Continue Commitment to Ultra Low Emission Vehicles
News / By AutoVolt
Baroness Kramer has stated the Department for Transport's (DfT) intention to keep the ultra low emission vehicle revolution turning at the Electric Vehicle Summit this week.
During her speech at the event, the Minister of State for Transport outlined government plans to reach an ultra low emission vehicle (ULEV) majority by 2050.
Baroness Kramer said,
"It is only by working together that we will achieve our ultimate objective, a low carbon transport system in which electric power is not only seen as a cleaner alternative to petrol and diesel, but also more viable, practical and affordable alternative for millions of motorists."
She added that while momentum in the sector is strong at the moment, the technological revolution yet to come will surpass current progress, saying thatthe switch to ultra low emission power will be as poignant as the move to petroleum from coal.
Peter Martin, Deputy Leader of Surrey County Council, said,
"It's great that drivers and businesses in our county are fuelling demand for electric cars – that's why we've gathered big names to the EV Summit so this innovative industry continues to boost our economy and the environment."
One area the government is keen to build on is the commercial sector, with refuelling availability for gas-powered heavy goods vehicles highlighted as a top priority. Baroness Kramer also announced that £30 million of funding has been earmarked to boost the uptake in low emission buses.
Government believes that councils have a key role to play to get their communities to support the ULEV drive, and DfT has allocated £35 million to drive innovation locally.
Kramer concluded,
"We're not just making the most radical change to motoring for generation, we're transforming the landscape of our towns, we're slashing transport emissions. We're creating many thousands of highly skilled manufacturing jobs, and working hand in hand, we're securing a more sustainable future for our country."

There are a lot of make up ideas for hazel eyes, simply because the color of your eyes are very unique. They can be extremely playful. Sometimes they can be gray, green, or brown, depending on the intensity of the color. Thus, plenty of palettes will go together with your eyes.
One of the things you need to concentrate on will be the color of the eye shadow for hazel eyes. This is where you can play around with the hues. Usually you can settle for a black eyeliner and black mascara even if you have hazel eyes, especially if you want to achieve a smokey or a more dramatic effect.
Nevertheless, you always have to think about the more dominant color of your eyes. For example, if yours is more of hazel brown, then you have the widest colors to choose from. You can even stick to the brown shades. This is quite an exception to the rule, which states you should always go for contrast when it comes to eyeshadows. This means if you have blue eyes, you need to settle for orange shades to make the eyes truly pop. If you have more of green eyes, you can pick beige or champagne.
The various make up styles for hazel eyes should also pay close attention to the hair color. One of the best make up ideas for hazel eyes and brown hair is to settle for a lighter brown shade, especially if you have hazel brown eyes and you have darker brown hair.
There are several tutorials you can find on how to do makeup for hazel eye. Nevertheless, here's a good how-to-do you can follow easily. When you're applying the eyeliner, make sure you can apply it in both upper and lower eyelids. A lot of women have a preference to only one side only. As to the color, again that depends on the shade of your eyes.
If your eyes are green, a good eyeliner to use will be something purple. If it leans toward being brown, you can make use of the black eyeliner. You can also use a white eyeliner for the green hazel eyes especially if you like to achieve a more retro look. Choose your eyeshadows wisely. Always remember to never overpower the color of the eyes. The eyeshadow should bring out the real color of the eyes, not hide it.
Finish the eye makeup by curling up your lashes. There are plenty of excellent mascaras in the market today. They are not too sticky, causing the lashes to get attached together. They also don't create smudges, and they are very easy to remove. You can apply the mascara after you have put on the eyeshadow.
These eye make up ideas for hazel eyes are very limited. There are certainly more out there, a lot of them even cute ones. You can widen your options by knowing where to find them. You can begin your search online.
If you're born with brown eyes, then you're lucky; there are many makeup ideas for brown eyes. Unlike blue eyes and green eyes, where the colors can be pretty limited, there's almost no end to the choices of colors you have if you have brown eyes.
This could be because brown is already a very strong color. You can go thick, and you don't have to worry about having it completely covered or overshadowed by your makeup. On the other hand, you can wear very light makeup especially during daytime, and you can still see the brownness of the eyes pop up.
Nevertheless, you're still interested to know the different eye makeup ideas for brown eyes, so let's begin. If you have brown eyes, you can actually select three shades and combine all of them to come up with a more distinct makeup tint to apply to your eyes. You also have the choice whether to go for the neutral shades such as the browns and taupes.
It's also possible to pick something darker, like those that are close to the shades of pink. You can also have smokey eyes, thanks to the gray eyeshadows. The same suggestions normally apply if you want makeup ideas for brown eyes and brown hair.
But what if you're blonde? You really don't have to worry. You can still make use of mascara and eyeliner. However, you need to select those that are quite darker, perhaps very brown or almost black. This way, you can still emphasize the eyes.
There are also make up ideas for hazel eyes. Hazel eyes are special since their color can be anywhere between green and blue, gray, and brown. Usually, if you put on more brown shades to your eyeshadow it's highly likely that the light green or the light blue will more or less look like brown eyes.
You can also have some fun when it comes to the colors. In fact, you can wear metallic hues, such as gold and bronze. You need the latter especially if you want the lids or the corners of the eyes to shimmer or sparkle.
You basically have some few ideas on the types of looks you can pursue during your big day. Nevertheless, the general rule when it comes to fixing yourself up during a wedding is to look as natural as possible. You want to look very fresh and young to the groom, as well as to your guests. Thus, you may need to tone down your makeup.
If you have some reservations on how to apply the makeup, it's best to leave it to the experts. Hire a professional makeup and hair artist.
There are also cute makeup ideas for brown eyes. You can play along with red and pink, especially if you want to be very bold with your makeup approach. The only problem is you cannot wear them when you go to the office. There are also others that add Swarovski crystals or glitters on the eyelids.
When you need more good, new, and cool tips on how to apply makeup on brown eyes, look for them online.
The different eye makeup tips for blue eyes will ensure that you can always make your eyes dazzle. Blue eyes are very beautiful, but the problem is without proper eye makeup, they may turn out to be very cold or icy to look at. Worse, if you make use of the wrong makeup, the palettes will eventually hide the blue eyes away.
The best eye makeup for blue eyes will depend on a lot of things, such as the intensity of the blueness. The basic rule is to go for contrast. For example, if the color blue is so strong, then you need to pick lighter hues unless you want to do smokey eyes. If your blue eyes are light, then you can play around with darker colors.
You also need to consider the color of the hair. One of the eye makeup tips for blue eyes and brown hair will be to use more neutral colors such as champagne, taupe, gray, chocolate brown, and caramel.
It is common, though, to settle for the orange shades if you have blue eyes, including copper, orange, bronze, as well as rust. You can also settle for the purple shades such as violets to play off with the blue eyes, but you need to make sure that you do not go overboard with it. This way, you do not appear as if you just had a black eye. You can look even more glamorous if you prefer the brown tones.
It will take awhile before you will be able to determine the most ideal eye makeup. So you better ensure you can practice a lot and play around with a lot of good colors. Nevertheless, there are several tutorials you can follow. Here is just one of them.
First you need to know the reason for putting up the makeup. If it is just a casual date on a late afternoon or a report to an office, it would be best to tone down the makeup regardless of the shade you picked. Get rid of the dramatic look. It is definitely best reserved for a night-time affair.
To get the daytime appearance, apply a lighter-colored metallic eyeshadow on top of the eyelids. Put some pink tints on the cheek, apply a lighter hue for your lipstick, and put on a liquid liner across your eyelashes.
If you want to get plenty of blue eye makeup tips, you can obtain a lot of ideas, styles, and techniques when you browse online. It is even very convenient for you to also get many suggestions or eye makeup tips for brown eyes and green eyes. You can also add a fun element or a cool twist to your blue eye makeup. For instance, if you want to get it on to the winter season, you can make your blue eyes icier by using frosted colors.


Everybody should have known Pokémon GO by now. It's an augmented reality-based mobile game that has been driving people crazy these days. Some might enjoy the frenzy, while the rest of the civilisation simply despise it (you're mean!). We have put together some of the real positive factors for you not to feel trapped or even hate it. At the end of the day, you will notice that this game is actually beneficial to your professional works, especially those in the creative industries.
Everybody hates traffic jam! Well, except for those street vendors, of course. Meeting appointment in the middle of a busy area during peak hours? Turn that hell into indulgence. Time to get to your phone and start hunting during your commute. It might even increase your good mood by the time your meeting starts. Unfortunately, this is not applicable if you are driving or riding your own vehicle. Drive safe, for heaven's sake!
2. Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Pokémon GO is about finding and capturing as many creatures as you can by literally going out of your comfort zone (bedroom). Turn those creatures into your prospective clients and start catching them using your own version of Lure Module. At the end of the month, reaching your target is the unbeatable accomplishment you will ever get. Well, that and getting your girlfriend to say yes, of course.
Catching a Pokémon isn't always an easy peasy job. Sometimes you have to throw over ten balls, while most of the time it simply escapes! Here you can learn how to handle different types of client with certain different levels of treatment. You have to be proactive and keep your 'screen' on most of the time.
Indeed. Pokémon GO players must know all about hatching eggs. Yes, each egg has different incubation lengths, yet they require us to do something in order to accomplish it. Dealing with your prospective clients require certain strategies and patience as well.
Are you a social media or content officer? Are you in an occasional running-out-of-ideas pain? Anytime you feel that way, simply turn the game into one of the funky memes or content materials like what I'm doing now and get engaged already.
It is a non-arguable fact that Pokémon GO drains your phone battery in an instance. Just take it as a reminder that you might have been playing too much and it's time to turn yourself into your real productivity. Remember, work smart, play smarter, people!
