NICKI MINAJ'S BUYS HER $1.1M WORTH DIAMOND RING
Dannie's Little World October 31, 2019
Nicki Minaj's husband went to great lengths to put a ring on her finger ... overseeing the making of her wedding band every step of the way and throwing down a massive wad of cash to secure it.
Nicki is finally showing everyone the diamond goods ... and the jeweler who made it tells us Kenneth Petty handled the design, delivery and paid for it on his own. We're told the band is valued at $1.1 million.
Rafaello and Co tells us Kenneth commissioned them to make their wedding rings, working together on a design for several months. Nicki's custom bling features a 17-carat center with VVS2-clarity diamonds.
The jeweler tells us Kenneth wanted a traditional wedding ring for Nicki -- nice diamonds and nothing too gaudy -- because he knows that's her style.
As for Kenneth's band ... we're told it's customized with the words "Ken & Barbie" on the inside of the ring. Nicki's doesn't have an inscription, but we're told there was simply no room for one.
We're told the jeweler flew from New York City to Los Angeles a few days before Nicki's wedding to deliver the rings ... they came in a customized the jewelry box that plays a photo slideshow of the couple to the tune of Nicki's song, "Come See About Me."
TMZ broke the story ... Nicki and Kenneth got hitched last week in L.A. in a super low-key ceremony, rushing to the altar with her pastor because their marriage license was about to expire.
Sounds like things are going great for the newlyweds ... their jeweler tells us Nicki and Kenneth are "definitely in love and happy."

Marc Crawford and his wife, Amy, will celebrate their 22nd wedding anniversary this year. They are blessed with two children, Olivia and Darin. Their family has been homeschooling with Heritage Christian School since 2012, when their oldest, Olivia (Class of 2024) started first grade. They have attended Bonita Class Day since 2012, where they have thrived in the loving and harmonious environment amongst the Bonita families. Through this group they have made some amazing friendships and worked with wonderful mentors and encouragers throughout their homeschool journey. They have also been involved with HCS Drama Club and, most recently, the HCS Band Club.
Professionally, Marc has served as a Naval Officer for over 25 years and currently a Commodore for a Division of ships at Naval Base San Diego. He has an MBA from the University of Hawaii and, although this is his first term on the Board; Marc looks forward to the opportunity to give back to the school that has given so much to his family.
Between Amy and Marc, she first felt the call to homeschool after Olivia finished kindergarten. Admittedly, Marc was skeptical at first. However, after he attended an HCS homeschooling seminar, he too, felt called to homeschool. There was just something special about HCS and he knew that these were the kind of Christ-centered families they wanted to be around as they educate their children with a Christian perspective. They feel extremely blessed to live in a country where homeschooling is allowed.

It is hard to count the many blessings that Heritage and homeschooling have brought to their lives. They are so grateful to God that the Homeschool community has been preserved and has allowed them to raise their children in the admonition of the Lord. The importance of God being the cornerstone of their day to day schooling has cemented HIS presence in science, math, history, language, and most importantly, LIFE, for their family - this truly has been priceless.

They have been happily married for 19 years now and are blessed with 5 beautiful children - Sophia, Dalia, Mia, Lincoln, and Julia. They will be beginning their eleventh year homeschooling this year and have enjoyed being part of Heritage since 2013.
Although they didn't imagine themselves homeschooling their children at the beginning, they chose to do it at first just because they didn't like the schools in their neighborhood at the time. However, over time and once they began to see the amazing benefits for their children, their relationships, and their family as a whole, they soon realized that it was the will of God for their lives to educate their children at home. They are extremely grateful to God for this freedom.
Professionally, Leo is a middle school counselor and has enjoyed guiding students academically and supporting them socially and emotionally for the past 14 years.

Q: How to call Sequence mediator inside the script mediator in WSO2 ESB I am going to call multiple WSO2 ESB Sequence mediator using under the script mediator. This will loop by following XML tag format. Based on the sequencename, it will loop. I need to call sequence according to this xml tag value.
<message>
  <postCallSequences>
         <order>1</order>
         <sequencename>gov:/repository/sequences/AB_SQ.xml</sequencename>
      </postCallSequences>
      <postCallSequences>
         <order>2</order>
         <sequencename>gov:/repository/sequences/XY_SQ.xml</sequencename>
   </postCallSequences>
</message>

I have loop above XML like following script mediator.
var xmlDoc = new XML("XML_STRING_HERE");

for each (var p in xmlDoc..*::postCallSequences){
 var sequencename = p.sequencename.toString();
 var seq = mc.getSequence(sequencename);
 seq.mediate(mc);
 //seq.get(0).mediate(mc);
}

But it not fully running, it showing following error message.
[2019-03-25 14:39:31,960] [EI-Core] ERROR - SequenceMediator Error while building message. null
java.lang.ClassCastException
[2019-03-25 14:39:31,960] [EI-Core] ERROR - CommonScriptMessageContext Error while building message. null

    at org.apache.synapse.mediators.bsf.ScriptMediator.mediate(ScriptMediator.java:257)
    at org.apache.synapse.mediators.AbstractListMediator.mediate(AbstractListMediator.java:108)

I have refered following link as well. Still issue there. link

A: We cannot call the mediate method of a sequence mediator inside a script because in the script mediator, the message context object used is of CommonScriptMessageContext. We can access a sequence mediator using this object. But when the sequence mediator executes, there is a place where the message context object is cast to Axis2MessageContext [1]. CommonScriptMessageContext cannot be cast to Axis2MessageContext, which will result in a class cast exception.
As an alternative to your requirement, instead of script mediator, we can use foreach mediator[2]. Following is a sample configuration which can achieve the same as above.
     <foreach expression="//postCallSequences">
        <sequence>
           <property name="seq" expression="//sequencename"/>
           <sequence key="{$ctx:seq}"/>
        </sequence>
     </foreach>

A: Since the script mediator uses different types of MessageContext objects (CommonScriptMessageContext for javascript and NashornJavaScriptMessageContext for Nashorn), we cannot directly pass the same messageContext object for the sequence mediator which expects an instance of org.apache.synapse.MessageContext.
To avoid this ClassCastException issue, we can create a new messageContext of the expected type within the script mediator, and pass that to the sequence mediator, as below.

var seq = mc.getSequence(sequencename);
var newMC = mc.getEnvironment().createMessageContext();
newMC.setEnvelope(mc.getEnvelope());
seq.mediate(newMC);

Please note that, since a new messageContext is created, we will have to set the expected attributes to the newly created message context. We can refer the methods exposed in CommonScriptMessageContext or NashornJavaScriptMessageContext to retrieve the values from the previous messageContext.

Will McAvoy is a well-known host of the evening news, but his boss Charlie Skinner decided that it is necessary to update the news project. He invited professional journalist Mackenzie McHale as Executive producer. She took some people from her team with her. With them, she created reports on the events taking place in Iraq. She is going to prepare an "honest" show, despite the ratings, and the boss supports her idea. The first issues aroused great interest among the audience, but when the journalist made harsh statements in the report against a number of political parties, the audience ratings began to decline, and the leadership of the news channel is dissatisfied with Mackenzie and Skinner. Early among them was a love relationship, but they ran out. This has an impact on their current relationship.

There are no involved health dangers, as these supplements are dietary and not diet tablets.
Although other strategies may consist of changing to a vegetarian diet, the Quick Loss Weight Centers does not. Rather, it worries the value of a healthy meal strategy.

Damages for doctor's negligence during urinary catheterisation procedure
We have recently settled a case against East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust involving an incorrectly performed catheterisation which had serious consequences.
Our client had attended the urology clinic for a non-urgent assessment of urinary retention, and as part of this required a urinary catheter to be placed. This is a routine procedure that all doctors should be capable of performing, and in male patients involves retracting the foreskin to place the catheter in the urethral meatus. Once this is done, the foreskin is replaced back in its usual position.
The procedure was performed by a junior doctor, but in this case the foreskin was not returned to its usual position as it should have been. This was then compounded by a failure to check the catheter during nurses' rounds or during ward rounds. As a result, our client developed a painful paraphimosis (a condition where the foreskin and penis become too oedematous and swollen to reduce back to their normal position) and after several unsuccessful attempts to reduce the swelling, he was admitted for an emergency circumcision. Following that operation, he developed an infection which continued for many months. He was forced to stop work as a driver and was not taken back on by his employer afterwards.
Our client had already entered into complaint correspondence with the trust and we felt that the facts suggested an obvious breach of duty. Therefore, as an initial step to encourage a settlement, we sent an early letter of claim to the trust, inviting it to admit liability. As well as bringing about a prompt resolution, this can also have the benefit of removing the need for expert evidence on the standard of care, thus reducing the costs of an investigation. It is particularly important in the current climate where claimant solicitors are obliged to keep the costs of an investigation proportionate but does also rely on the defendant trust taking a pragmatic approach to the claim and admitting failings where they are obvious and unlikely to be defensible.
In this case, NHS Resolution did take a sensible approach and accepted liability at an early stage. We were therefore able to focus on investigating the level of damages that our client was entitled to. This included obtaining expert evidence from a consultant urologist to confirm what harm could have been avoided with appropriate care. Unsurprisingly, our evidence was that it should have been a routine procedure and that the paraphimosis, surgery and subsequent infection could all have been avoided had the junior doctor performed the procedure correctly.
The claim included damages for the pain and suffering caused from the paraphimosis, emergency surgery and resulting infection, along with a loss of earnings claim. In total the case took just over six months to settle.

Fintech Disruptors: Growing from two friends recognising a simple problem to 800 people in seven countries, how does TransferWise view its success over the 6 years since launch?
Yoni Arbel: Success is a moving feast and it's important to look at the present separately from the future. We save our global customers £50 million per year by providing an alternative, cheaper, much faster and more transparent way to exchange their funds – an activity touching all 'internationals', i.e. everyone spending their time abroad travelling, studying or working.
While we're seeing our numbers grow, adding countries and growing customers in existing countries, success is more defined in our mission. It's about the seamless movement of money, an improved experience, lower cost and verification (or even sheer ability to move money). This builds trust.
Looking at the future, success is when the market starts costing the product in line with TransferWise. When banks stop charging excessive mark-ups on money transfers and they are no longer allowed to hide their pricing through marketing – in other words, when our mission becomes the norm/standard, then we've won.
Fintech Disruptors: To deploy a product globally presents numerous challenges, not least of which is dealing with different regulatory regimes. What has been your experience?
Yoni Arbel: We are licensed around the world with all authorities – from the EU, Australia, the US and Asia – and this allows us to act as local player in all these markets. This has taken six years and a lot of hard work. What is not discussed enough in fintech is the amount of work involved, dealing with the red tape and a lot of operational overheads. Companies succeed or fail only on execution. It's about navigating the complexities of a marketplace and successful integration into the existing system.
Looking back at our challenges, we had to constantly ask ourselves how fast we should move. Do we move slowly and do it properly, or do we go fast and haphazardly? In some countries we bit off more than we could chew and had to launch three times. There is not much we could have done differently but we learnt valuable lessons.
Regulators are not against companies and for the banks – but they are slow to respond to innovation, literally having to change the letter of the law. It is a whole new ball game for them. Look at cryptocurrencies for example. There are simply not enough skilled people at regulators to handle or audit this.
Fintech Disruptors: What does it require to build a company from a start-up to a multinational?
Yoni Arbel: Our culture is a big reason for our success. We are built for speed with autonomous teams in each country and each currency operating with minimum intervention. Our people own business problems at the lowest level of the organisation and individuals can directly influence our products and the treatment of customers.
Fintech Disruptors: How do you see the future of fintech?
Yoni Arbel: We will move from talking about fintech to calling it financial services. If you do fin without tech you're doing something wrong. Fintech is no longer a big deal.
It is becoming about what we can achieve with financial services that we were not able to achieve before. I hope to see more customer empowerment – I want to see customers owning their information, their credit score and their compliance information. They should shop around for any kind of service and be able to access financial services of any type, moving around and switching providers like they do mobile phone providers.
I'd like to see this happening across borders. The experience in the EU must be similar to the experience in the US, Africa, Singapore – you should be able to have the best choice of any service in the world.
Fintech Disruptors: And your views on the perceived talent shortage and the effects of Brexit on the UK?
Yoni Arbel: I'm not afraid of a shortage of talent. The truth of the matter is that finance is not more sophisticated than pharma, aerospace etc – with demand will come the talent. Traditional financial services are already cutting headcount as they don't need as many resources. Also, our talent pool is global. TransferWise has strong bases of operation in Europe. Our largest office is in Talinn where we have 400 people. I don't expect to see our office structure changing substantially because of Brexit.
London is still very well placed in the global market and there is enough knowledge and talent here. I don't see Brexit as a barrier. In our sector London will continue to flourish and while Brexit might reduce competition for European talent, I don't believe there's a risk to business or to London as a fintech hub.

Page 5, 13 December 1940 — Is Boxing Day this year a Bank Holiday or not?
Is Boxing Day this year a Bank Holiday or not?
The Government, I thought, had definitely declared not. I Argo sections of workers, however, with or without the agreement of their employers, have declared otherwise. There will con- sequently arise precisely the situation which the Government presumably desired to avoid, munition workers in the widest sense being kept at their benches while half their fellows will be making holiday. Surely we can act as a nation in this matter.

Happy NHL Playoffs! Now Don't Go Blaming the Refs…
By Jake Gittler April 15th, 2015
It's that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, flowers are blooming (unless you're a Penguins fan, in which case your flower is probably wilting…), and the NHL playoffs are beginning! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Except when fans decide they're going to start blaming everything on the officials.
The NHL playoffs are, as a friend of mine put it, the greatest playoffs of any sport hands down, no debate. While I happen to agree wholeheartedly, with each game of every round substantially increasing in intensity, one of the most bothersome things that fans can do as emotions rise during this glorious time (as far as I'm concerned) is blame every single mistake, miscue, and lapse in judgement that their team makes throughout the course of a game on the referees.
In recent years especially, it's a habit has catapulted to the top of my short list of pet peeves, and unfortunately with games increasing in importance with every passing day, this tends to happen among far too many fans at this time of the season.
It truly is the worst.
Now, if I were to tell you that I've never been a "ref blamer" at any point in my life, I'd be lying to you, as would most sports fans if they denied ever blaming the refs for one reason or another.
For years, 16-year-old me was convinced that Dan O'Halloran was the reason the Sabres beat the Rangers in game five of the 2007 Eastern Conference Semi-finals. Remember? Drury, 7.7 seconds, Afinogenov? Yeah, that game.
In the years since, however, fans blaming refs in the most incessant, ignorant, and pathetic way possible has become just that. Pathetic. Maybe even worse than nails on a chalkboard.
Do officials sometimes make mistakes and blow calls? Absolutely they do. They wouldn't be human if they didn't, and it's the human element which makes sports so special and so unique.
But if your excuse for your team's sub-par performance or loss is critiquing each and every move of the officiating crew, chances are you team wasn't going to win anyway. Stop whining, accept the fact that there were probably other things your team could've improved upon throughout the course of a 60 minute hockey game to better their chances at success, and move on. Don't be that bumbling buffoon who sarcastically tweets some variation of "Thanks ref. Hope you enjoy your postgame dinner with Bettman."
Thanks ref
— Red Wings Memes (@RedWingsMemes) April 5, 2015
So whatever you do this postseason, whether you bite your nails, sweat nervously, consistently feel as though you're on the verge of having a heart attack as your team's game goes from one overtime period to the next, or simply kick back and enjoy the NHL playoffs in all its glory, do us all a favor and stop getting all hot and bothered over the refs. It just makes you look silly.
2015 NHL Playoffs


The holidays are finally here. Unfortunately, that also means that classes are usually smaller because people are able to spend more time with family. We understand, but make a point of continuing your exercise. All the holiday treats have a special ability to stick to you. Even if your schedule is totally busy or you're travelling, you can still make the time to exercise. All you need is a few minutes and the will to do it.
Here are a few bodyweight only workouts that you can complete on your own over the holidays in the event that you cannot make it into the gym.
Complete 20 burpees, run to other side of room, complete 19 burpees, run back, all the way until you finish with the 1 burpee.
There are 4 workouts you can easily do without any equipment or even a warm-up. All you need to do is put on some clothes and do it. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving and enjoys eating lots of food.


NEW YORK….For the first time, researchers have documented that it is these social drinkers - not the hard-core alcoholics or problem drinkers - who are responsible for most of the estimated $67 billion worth of lost productivity that's attributed each year to alcohol-related problems. The implications are expected to transform corporate drinking policies across the country. Most now focus strictly on people with serious alcohol problems.
As a result of this study, researchers say, they should start educating every worker about the negative "stealth effects" of even low levels of drinking at work, and any heavy drinking off the job.
Conducted over four years at seven Fortune 500 companies by JSI and researchers from the Harvard and Boston University Schools of Health, the study also found that 80 percent of the drinking that took place during the workday, took place at lunch. The study found that even a glass of wine or a beer with a burger impaired worker productivity.
Counter to popular wisdom, the study also found that it was managers, not hourly employees, who were most often drinking during the workday. Twenty-three percent of upper managers and 11 percent of first-line supervisors said they had a drink during the workday, compared with only 8 percent of hourly employees.


HILLSBORO, Ore. – Kinsey McNaught (Keizer, Ore.) is a senior outfielder on the Whitworth softball team. Currently ranked first in the Northwest Conference in on base percentage (.560) and third in batting average (.456), McNaught proves to be an an asset to the Pirates program, which currently ranks first in NWC standings with an 11-0 record (17-4 overall).
McNaught, the 2017 NWC Freshman of the Year, described her freshman year at Whitworth at a defining time in her career. "From learning to balance work, school, and a full-time softball schedule, it was the most formative year of my life and I developed as a person more than any other time in my life," she says. McNaught credits her coaches for helping her "develop into a leader in every aspect" of her life. "I have the confidence to be outside of my comfort zone. I am taking 20 credits in order to graduate in three years and will be spending the fall in Shanghai. Without my coaches and teammates, I would not be who I am today," she says.
In her free time, McNaught is actively involved in VITA, an income tax assistance program in her community where she spends 5 to 10 hours a week during tax season volunteering to help elderly and underprivileged community members file their tax returns.
"Being a Division III athlete has given me the opportunity to thrive academically and foster meaningful relationships with my coaches, professors, and teammates," says McNaught. "As an athlete in the Northwest Conference you are given the opportunity to develop as a person and student while also facing great competition in your sport." In her freshman season, the accounting major earned All- NWC second team honors.
McNaught and the Pirates will seek to extend their undefeated NWC record in a four-game series at Pacific Lutheran this weekend.

Q: How to upgrade to Gulp 4 through some npm script? I am using gulp version 3.9.0.
I want to upgrade it to version 4 in order to make use of features like gulp.series etc.
However on executing npm install command I want to make sure whether gulp version is minimum 4.x and if not it should upgrade itself to gulp 4.x but better through some separate .js script file, present in the root folder of my app.
Now I guess because 4.x is not yet official for gulp, so the file should execute the following commands as indicated in Mike Street's Blog (see link), in order to remove gulp locally.
npm uninstall gulp --save-dev
npm install 'gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0' --save-dev

How can I do that?
Note: The upgrade of gulp should only occur if version of gulp present in node_modules folder is less than 4.x. Please consider me a novice in node/npm.

A brawl including gun shots and a stabbing broke out at a Thornton sports bar popular with motorcyclists early Saturday morning, killing one woman and injuring four other people.
By Saturday afternoon, the Extra Point Sports Bar was cleared out and encircled by police tape with two Thornton police officers stationed at the door where bouncers would typically stand guard. A trail of blood splatters dotted the sidewalk outside the West 100th Avenue establishment, but police couldn't confirm whether the blood was related to the incident the night before.
When Thornton police arrived at the Extra Point Sports Bar around 1:30 a.m., people were fleeing the scene, said police spokesman Ernie Lucero. Officers found one woman and two men with gunshot wounds in addition to the woman who died from the shooting. Another man from the scene later walked into a local hospital with a stab wound.
Investigators were still questioning a person of interest in custody Saturday afternoon but couldn't confirm whether they were looking for more suspects.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Thornton Police Department at 720-977-5069.
The bar, described by patrons as popular with motorcyclists, posted on its Facebook page that the woman killed was an employee named Brenda. Extra Point, tucked into a strip mall featuring a hair salon and laundromat next door, said it would be closed until Monday.
Across the street, Gene Ritke was stocking the candy aisle at Deno's Country Store convenience store and gas station, a few feet away from crime scene tape that cordoned off the bar and grill.
Ritke said he knows nearly everyone at the bar from his visits there to chow down on chicken wings and their stops in to buy snacks and drinks.
"She was the nicest person in the world," said Ritke, who got to know Brenda during her frequent stops in to buy Core water drinks.
Ritke said Brenda was a single mother with a young son. He planned on setting a bucket outside the store later in the day to collect donations for the boy.
"Brenda was always pleasant and happy, and so was almost everyone in that bar," Ritke said.


In attendance at Saturday's ceremony were his children Holly Gregory-MacDonald, Reverend Paula Haywood, and Hayes Gregory, his niece Valerie Miller, and friend JoAnne Miller.

Emperor founds Christian charitable order
The arms of the Order of Saint Constantine
Emperor Jonathan I has founded the Order of Saint Constantine as a specifically Christian order of chivalry for Austenasia.
Members of the Order must be baptised Christians. Also – uniquely for Austenasian orders of chivalry – the Order is to function as a philanthropic organisation, raising money for various charities.
A meeting of the Order, which has started off with ten founding members, will take place at some point in July or August in order to discuss the means and decide the recipients of their fundraising.
The date of the Order's foundation is of some significance. May 21st is the feast day of Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother Helen, who Christians venerate as saints.
Ss Constantine and Helen have been named the patron saints of the new Order. They are also the patron saints of the church attended by the Emperor, to which he went this morning to attend a service celebrating the feast day.
The new Order ranks below the Glorious Order of St. John and above the Order of the Bullmastiff.

IGS Expedition revisits original route
3 May 2016 austenasiantimes Leave a comment
The expedition approaches Gravelhill Wood.
An expedition of the Imperial Geographical Society (IGS) yesterday retraced the route of its original expedition in 2009, through woods and farmland south of the British village of Bletchingley.
The 2009 expedition was the very first launched by the IGS, which had then been in existence for barely two months. Twenty seven people participated in total, with it remaining to date the largest expedition of the IGS.
Yesterday's expedition walked the same route as that taken in 2009, comparing the area today with how it was seven years ago. A small detour had to be taken to find an alternative spot for lunch, with the gate to the clearing used during the original expedition having been locked by the landowners.
There were only eight people on yesterday's expedition; far smaller than the original, but numbering one more than last year's May bank holiday expedition.
Yesterday's expedition was led by Emperor Jonathan I, with other members of the Imperial Family taking part alongside members of Carshalton Methodist Church. A film of the expedition can be seen here.

A pair of rooftop solar arrays in Maryland spotlight how pioneering communities can pool their resources to expand local access to renewable energy. These "community solar" projects are an increasingly popular approach as electricity customers renounce utilities' reliance on fossil fuel and look for ways to cut their energy costs.
The first of the two projects, atop a church in University Park near the border of Washington D.C, went operational in 2010, around the time that legislation promoting community-scale solar projects began to surface nationwide. Back then, these solar projects were much more ad hoc. They cost more, and there were few proven success stories.
But enterprising communities saw the potential and used early solar projects as guides, giving way to a trend that has since brought community solar projects to neighborhoods across the U.S. The roughly 23-kilowatt University Park project directly influenced a separate 22-kilowatt installation in Greenbelt, a couple of towns to the east. In both cases, the local investors sell electricity to the host site.
Today, more than a half decade after both projects went operational, they deliver the benefits targeted by their backers: they generate renewable energy for local users, replacing some fossil-fueled electricity, while participants steadily earn back the investment made to supplement tax credits and other incentives. Through 2015, they had each earned back $560 of their initial $1,000 buy-in.
Both projects used a private financing model to reduce compliance costs with securities regulations, a major barrier for raising capital for community renewable energy projects. With other structures, these compliance costs could rise to as much as 75% of project costs. The graphic below illustrates the strategy, taken from our Beyond Sharing report on community renewable energy.
The investor groups are technically for-profit entities, structured as limited liability corporations, so that they can capture perks tied to renewable energy production in Maryland. Among those incentives are renewable energy certificates, earned by generating solar power, that the groups can sell. Investors can profit from the sale of energy produced by their arrays.
"A social benefit like carbon reduction did not preclude a possible return on an individual's contribution to the project," the University Park partnership says it in its materials.
University Park and Greenbelt seeded community solar in Maryland, showing how to harness the collective investment of individuals to promote renewable energy. But privately run projects have been tough to scale up despite their success at the hyperlocal level, leaving a gap in a marketplace with unquenched demand for community solar. University Park backers, for example, were able to secure pro bono legal help in arranging the project.
That's where a new statewide pilot program comes in. The three-year initiative aims to add around 200 MW of community solar, according to plans approved in June, with about 60 MW of that capacity focused on low- and moderate-income electricity customers. Through the program, renters and others unable to install solar on their rooftops can still cash in on renewables. If it works similar to other state programs, the big difference is that the participants won't own the solar projects, but rather just the right to a share of its electricity production, a key distinction in avoiding securities regulations.
Maryland's action brings it into a group of about a dozen states with community solar policies, typically crafted to diversify the energy mix and drive new investment in the local clean energy economy — goals that guided the University Park and Greenbelt investors years ago.
Under regulations approved over the summer, the Maryland program promises utilities will pay community solar subscribers the retail rate for energy use they offset and excess power generated by their arrays. It also guarantees no subscription fees for customers, meaning those opting in as projects go online will see the same payback on their electricity bills as rooftop solar customers.
One utility, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative Inc., challenged the state's ability to impose the on-bill credit guarantee for electricity that exceeds the customer's own use and has asked federal regulators to review the pilot program.
For their part, though, local officials have touted community solar as a multi-pronged asset to the state. It aligns, they say, with a broader vision for a more dynamic local energy economy. W. Kevin Hughes, who heads the Maryland Public Service Commission, has cheered the initiative.


Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena held a special discussion at the Presidential Secretariat on the Shasya Shakthi Project implemented in parallel to the Gramashakthi people's movement, the national program of poverty alleviation.
Under the first stage of the Shasya Shakthi Project, solar powered agricultural water supply systems will be introduced in 3,000 acres for 3,000 farmer families selected under the Mahaweli Development Scheme, Sri Lanka's largest multi-purpose development program.
The motive behind the project is to provide new technology and knowledge to B Onion and Chilies cultivation and contribute towards the economic development of Sri Lanka. In order to face the fluctuating climatic conditions and to the drought that is caused, as well as reducing the usage of electricity and fuel consumption are key aspects of this project.
Gramashakthi Entrepreneurship Promotion Program, Mahaweli Development and Environment Ministry and People's Bank will jointly implement the project.


Rapper T.I. was arrested earlier this week outside of his gated community.
The Grammy winner, whose legal name is Clifford Harris Jr., cited on misdemeanor charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness after an alleged incident about 4 a.m. in Stockbridge, south of Atlanta.


NAIROBI, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Somali pirates have hijacked Antigua and Barbuda flagged and German owned vessel, approximately 200 nautical miles North-East of Salalah, Oman; a location only 35 nautical miles from the Omani coastline, EU anti- piracy mission said on Friday.
EU Naval Force Somalia spokesman Paddy O'Kennedy said the MV Sudan K was pirated early Friday by at least 10 pirates. "The MV Susan K has a crew of 10 (4 Ukraine and 6 Filipino). There is no further information about the crew at present," O' Kennedy said.
He said the general cargo ship was attacked and boarded by at least 10 pirates although exact details of the attack are not known at this time.
The Antigua & Barbuda flagged and German owned vessel was on its way to Port Sudan (Sudan) from Mumbai (India) when it was attacked.
The vessel was registered with Maritime Security Centre - Horn of Africa MSC (HOA) and was reporting to UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
The pirates have intensified their action in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden and most of hijackings end without casualties when a ransom has been paid, but often after several months of negotiations.
The Gulf of Aden, a body of water between Somalia and Yemen, is the main sea route between Europe and Asia. Tankers carrying Middle East oil through the Suez Canal must pass first through the Gulf of Aden.
About four per cent of the world's daily oil supply is shipped through the gulf.
The attacks are being carried out by increasingly well- coordinated Somali gangs armed with automatic weapons and rocket- propelled grenades, maritime officials said.
The Horn of Africa nation has been without a functioning government since 1991, and remains one of the world's most violent and lawless countries.
Combined Task Force 150, a naval alliance dominated by the United States and based in the Gulf of Aden nation of Djibouti, is patrolling an area within the Gulf of Aden to help protect ships from pirates.
