Can Trump's Proposal Save The Coal Industry?
Climate change may not be a significant factor in the decision-making processes of the United States government, according to the White House. As per a directive signed by President Donald Trump, decisions concerning anything from appliance standards to pipeline approvals will be made without considering climate change as largely as has been done in the past.
This directive extends above and beyond the promise made to remove the regulations implemented by the Obama administration. Those measures, such as the blocking of coal leasing and efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses, are likely to be repealed by the White House, as has been discussed for months.
But this directive is much broader. The goal is specifically to reverse the approach taken by President Obama to address climate change. For example, the Obama Administration ordered government agencies to consider climate change in all environmental reviews.
Take, for instance, the Keystone XL pipeline. Any proposal similar to the pipeline was looked at through the lens of climate change. The order from the President Trump will also include a thorough review of the "social cost of carbon," a metric that supposedly estimates the economic cost of climate change. This metric was coined by the Obama administration, and was promptly used to justify its many regulatory reforms.
Environmentalists, however, argue that the United States has set an international precedent concerning how to deal with climate change and carbon emissions. The leadership of the Obama Administration has encouraged other countries to follow suit. The reversal by President Trump threatens all that progress.
And the international concerns do not stop there. Scientists from the United Kingdom have voiced concerns that Trump's plan could hamper their research significantly. The U.K. relies on international coordination to progress their agenda. Moreover, climate change analysts in the U.K. rely on U.S. satellite data, which could potentially be cut under this proposal.
Despite refusal from White House staff to elaborate on the plan at this time, it is clear that the directive will enforce policy changes to aid in coal extraction and incentivize its burning.
For example, the directive will undo the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency rule that demanded states reduce their use of coal-fired electricity. The same is true for an order from the former administration that blocks new coal-mining rights on federal lands from being sold to producers.
The President hopes to make good on his promise to reduce the "job-killing" regulations by enforcing these policy changes, specifically those regulations that cost coal miners their jobs. Indeed, the support of these blue collar workers is what helped drive him to victory. However, analysts and pundits have criticized his actions, citing the fact that the changes will not have any impact on mining jobs, nor will it make coal more prominent.
Moreover, coal producers showed little interest in adding federal coal reserves to their platforms even before President Obama imposed the moratorium. The fact is that utilities have been increasingly turning towards natural gas and away from coal for a while.
However, the repeal by President Trump could put a pause on coal's decline – this in turn would hinder growth prospects for natural gas. Whether or not the new administration goes through with this repeal remains to be seen.
If the question is, if Trump can save the coal industry, the answer is clearly "No". Coal started dying long before Obama and will be largely dead within the next decade. Natural gas, solar + wind are just getting way too cheap way too fast. Any new coal plant built today is a total waste of money. Keeping existing plants running is viable until the alternatives including their cost of capital for new construction are cheaper than the running costs of coal.
So in my eyes the only two things that could prolong the life of coal is either a) a flat out prohibition of natural gas, wind and solar (if the competition is forbidden, no need to worry about it) or b) immensely high interest rates that increase the costs for new wind, gas or solar installations.
But coal is dead. Any investor who sinks money into coal can't be helped. And any young lad who choses a career in coal better saddle up rough ride.
I agree with Greg coal is dying a rapid death and that is good for those of us not mining coal. Fortunately there are better alternatives more people work in solar than in coal and gas combined. It is time that the Republicans wake up to the new reality.

John Alberto Guidetti, né le  à Stockholm, est un footballeur international suédois qui évolue au poste d'attaquant à l'AIK.

Durant son enfance, il joue au football dans sa Suède natale mais aussi au Kenya, où son père travaille comme enseignant. Il retourne en Suède en 2006 et rejoint l'IF Brommapojkarna avant de signer pour Manchester City en 2008, à 16 ans. En 2010, il est prêté à son ancien club Brommapojkarna puis à Burnley en deuxième division anglaise. Il rejoint ensuite le Feyenoord Rotterdam pour la saison 2011-2012 et marque 20 buts en 23 matchs avant qu'un virus ne mette fin à son séjour aux Pays-Bas. En , Guidetti rejoint Stoke City pour le reste de la saison 2013-2014, et en septembre de la même année il est prêté au Celtic Glasgow pour l'ensemble de la saison 2014-2015.

Après avoir représenté la Suède à différents niveaux juniors, il obtient sa première sélection avec l'équipe de Suède contre la Croatie le .

Biographie

Jeunesse
D'origine italienne et brésilienne (par ses grands-parents paternels), Guidetti découvre le football dans les équipes de jeunes du club suédois IF Brommapojkarna à partir de 1998. À 10 ans, il part vivre au Kenya, son père travaillant pour un projet éducatif là-bas. Il quitte ainsi Brommapojkarna et rejoint l'académie Impala BrommBoys basé à Nairobi. Après un an avec Impala, Guidetti rejoint l'académie de Mathare United, appelée MYSA, une organisation sportive d'aide au développement se situant dans les bidonvilles de Nairobi. En 2004, Guidetti quitte l'organisation et rejoint . Il retourne en Suède en 2006 et réintègre IF Brommapojkarna. Au total, Guidetti a vécu cinq ans au Kenya, et il décrit cette expérience comme l'ayant aidée à se développer sur le terrain mais aussi dans la vie en général : .

En , à 16 ans, il signe un contrat de trois ans avec Manchester City malgré l'intérêt de nombreux clubs italiens, parmi lesquels l'Inter Milan et l'AS Roma.

Manchester City
L'entraîneur de Manchester City, Sven-Göran Eriksson, remarque le talent de Guidetti dans sa Suède natale et lui fait immédiatement signer pour le club anglais. Guidetti réalise de bonnes performances durant sa première saison, marquant 13 buts en 13 matchs pour les moins de 18 ans de Manchester City. Il marque ses débuts en équipe réserve avec un triplé face à une équipe de Burnley composée d'un bon nombre de joueurs de l'équipe première.

IF Brommapojkarna (prêt)
En 2010, il retourne dans son ancien club IF Brommapojkarna sous forme de prêt et impressionne en marquant trois buts et en distribuant trois passes décisives en seulement 8 matchs

Retour à Manchester City
Roberto Mancini, désireux de voir comment le jeune Suédois allait s'adapter à l'équipe première, donne sa chance à Guidetti durant la tournée de pré-saison aux États-Unis en été 2010. Il fait ainsi ses débuts en équipe première en rentrant en deuxième période face au Sporting Lisbonne. Deux mois plus tard, de retour en Angleterre, Guidetti est titularisé pour la première fois lors du troisième tour de la League Cup face à West Bromwich Albion, le , match durant lequel il procure la passe décisive sur le seul but de la rencontre.

Burnley (prêt)
Après deux saisons en équipe réserve, le , Guidetti est prêté à Burnley pour une durée initiale d'un mois avec la possibilité d'étendre le prêt jusqu'en . Le , il marque son premier but lors de sa première titularisation avec Burnley dans une victoire 2 à 1 face à Barnsley. Manchester City ne prolonge pas son prêt et il revient au club le  pour être ajouté aux 25 joueurs sélectionnés pour la Ligue Europa.

La controverse Twente
Le contrat de Guidetti avec Manchester City devant se terminer en , en mai, il visite le club néerlandais de Twente et des médias suédois, néerlandais et britanniques annoncent que Guidetti a signé un pré-contrat avec le club. Twente pensant avoir réalisé un transfert selon les règles de l'arrêt Bosman, à la mi-juin des doutes émergent après que l'agent Per Jonsson déclare qu'aucun arrangement a été trouvé pour son contrat. Le président de Twente Joop Munsterman déclare :

La Fédération néerlandaise de football engage un avocat afin de relire le pré-contrat entre John Guidetti et Twente. Le club annonce que le contrat devait être validé.  a déclaré le président de Twente au magazine Voetbal International.

Le , Manchester City met en ligne un set de photos de l'équipe se préparant à partir pour leur tour en Amérique du Nord. Malgré son arrangement avec Twente, Guidetti est présent sur les photos à l'aéroport avec ses coéquipiers. Le , il signe un nouveau contrat pour Manchester City, le liant au club pour trois ans de plus.

Feyenoord (prêt)

Ronald Koeman le recrute alors au Feyenoord Rotterdam, toujours en prêt. Aux Pays-Bas, Guidetti inscrit 20 buts en 23 matches, dont un triplé lors du Klassieker face à l'Ajax Amsterdam (4-2), et réintègre ensuite le noyau des Citizens.

Intoxication alimentaire (2012)
S'apprêtant à devenir le plus jeune joueur de l'histoire de la Suède à jouer un Championnat d'Europe, prétendant à débuter chaque rencontre aux côtés d'un joueur comme Zlatan Ibrahimović, tout prend fin lors d'une soirée d'avril 2012. Célébrant son vingtième anniversaire, Guidetti se sent mal et quitte la fête, avant de souffrir de maux d'estomac durant une dizaine de jours. Le jeune homme se rend compte qu'il n'a plus aucun équilibre et que sa jambe droite est paralysée. Une simple intoxication alimentaire serait à l'origine du mal : en agissant dans son estomac, les anticorps de Guidetti attaquent également son système nerveux, selon les médecins.

Sa guérison est longue et sa progression est stoppée net. Guidetti ne rejoue qu'au mois de janvier 2013 avec l'équipe réserve des Citizens, avant de devoir se faire opérer d'un genou trois mois plus tard. S'il retrouve l'intégralité de ses moyens physiques, John Guidetti se fait tatouer les paroles d'une chanson de l'artiste jamaïcain Tarrus Riley : « On pleure tous, mais quand les larmes sèchent on devient plus fort » sur son bras droit.

Stoke City (prêt)
Pas utilisé pendant deux saisons, Guidetti est prêté en  à Stoke City pour le reste de la saison 2013-2014. Il fait ses débuts le  en rentrant en jeu lors de la défaite 1 à 0 face à Crystal Palace. Après ne pas avoir joué le match de FA Cup face à Chelsea, Guidetti fait part de sa frustration à l'encontre de l'entraîneur Mark Hughes dans les médias suédois. Il précise plus tard qu'il ne pensait pas être irrespectueux envers Hughes. Il n'arrive pas à s'imposer à Stoke City et quitte le club à la fin de la saison en ayant joué seulement 6 matchs, tous en tant que remplaçant.

Retour avec le Celtic (depuis 2014)
Pour la saison 2014-2015, Manuel Pellegrini déclare, à propos de John Guidetti et de deux de ses coéquipiers mancuniens, qu'.

Manchester City et le Celtic Glasgow tombent d'accord pour un prêt mais le club écossais ne rentre pas le dossier avant la clôture de la période des transferts. Cependant, la FIFA fait une exception à la règle à la suite d'une demande introduite par la Fédération écossaise. Guidetti ne peut pas jouer en Ligue Europa, les clubs ayant communiqué leurs listes des joueurs quelques jours plus tôt. Après deux ans de galères, Guidetti inscrit 9 buts en 10 apparitions et est sacré joueur du mois d'octobre par la Scottish Premier League. Des performances qui lui permettent de retrouver la sélection suédoise, pour affronter la France au stade Vélodrome un mois plus tard.

Le , Guidetti est prêté au Deportivo Alavés jusqu'à la fin de la saison.

Jhootha Kahin Ka Movie Review And Rating | Jimmy Sheirgill, Rishi Kapoor
Naina Tejwani
After a serious avatar in Mulk and a long absence from the silver screen due to illness, Rishi Kapoor is making his comeback to the big screen, this time in a different genre altogether in the latest Bollywood movie "Jhootha Kahin Ka", which is being released today.
The film is directed by Smeep Kang who is famous for his Punjabi comedy movies like Chak De Phatte (2008) and Lucky Di Unlucky Story (2013) while the production of the film is done by Deepak Mukut and Anuj Sharma under the production companies named Soham Rockstar Entertainment and Shantketan Entertainments. The story is written by Shreya Shrivastava and Vaibhav Suman and edited by Ashfaque Makrani.
Movie Name Jhootha Kahin Ka
Genre Romance, Comedy
Cast Jimmy Sheirgill, Nimisha Mehta, Rishi Kapoor, Lillete Dubey, Sunny Singh Nijjar
Director Smeep Kang
Music Director Dharma Vish
Cinematographer Akashdeep Pandey
Producer Vinay Gupta, Deepak Mukut and Anuj Sharma
Banner Shantketan Entertainments
Release Date 19th July, 2019
Censor U/A
Runtime 133 minutes
The film is a reunion for Omkar and Sunny both of whom had earlier worked together in the much-loved romantic comedy blockbuster series "Pyar ka Punchnama" directed by Luv Ranjan where they played the role of best buddies. The film also features strong star cast of many renowned character artists who appear to be doing full justice with their characters.
From the trailer the film appears to be a comedy-drama and a family entertainer, depicting the story of two boys, Karan (Sunny) and Varun (Omkar), who go to Mauritius for their higher education, where their lifestyle has changed to such an extent that they have no yearnings to come back to their home in India. In Mauritius, Varun falls in love at first sight with a girl who denies leaving behind her home and her sick father. In order to persuade his love interest, Varun lies to her saying that his father has forever left him and is no more and so he would never ever have to return to India.
What follows, turns out to be a rib-tickling roller-coaster ride. What happens when the truth unravels itself? Will the story be able to impress the audience? Are comedy scenes funny enough? Let's find out.
Review Of Jhootha Kahin Ka
If you are a fan of Pyaar Ka Punchnama series, Total Dhamaal and similar kind of movies, then you will definitely enjoy Jhootha Kahin Ka. The film is full of comedy scenes and characters. The film revolves around the story of two best friends Varun and Karan who swap identities hoping to carry on with their romances without any hitch.
Rishi Kapoor manages to keep you engaged in the film by making random appearances throughout the movie. And the comedy of errors worked quite good. However, the predictability of the movie makes it flat.
The film is definitely not a must-watch. But if you've decided to watch it, then you must go ahead. If you have liked the trailer, you will like the movie. That's all.
Here is the trailer of the movie which you can check out before going to watch the movie.

Friday November 11th saw the culmination of 5 weeks practise in PE lessons, with us turning up at a very sunny, quite warm Cross Country Tournament.
The teams had been chosen from PE lessons and involved children from years 3,4,5 and 6. Although we did have to have a last minute replacement with Jessica having to replace an injured Fely the day before.
The A and B teams we entered for the girls and boys races gave it their best shot on the 950m course around the bottom field, hill, woods and bridge at South Hill Park.
We know we didn't finish first, second or third and we also know we weren't last in each of the four races. I won't know our individual times and final race positions for another week or so and I'll put them on here as soon as I can.
In the meantime - a very great well done to all the team members, most of which we hope to see in next years teams.


Spring Fling will take place rain or shine on the three academic campuses with a contingency plan to move the outdoor festivities inside in the event of inclement weather.
The office of Student Engagement and Activities (SEA) on the Central Campus is hosting Spring Fling 2019 on April 3 while SEA North and South Campuses scheduled their spring festivities for April 2 and 4, respectively.
This year, Audio Engineering will provide music, while other student organizations fundraise by selling food. Also, attendees will have the opportunity to take a picture on a big red chair or have their picture put on a balloon free of charge. Other activities include bubble soccer and soccer darts.
The weather will determine whether the events take place outside as planned, but in the event of rain, the festivities will move inside the Student Center buildings on each campus.
Spring Fling takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 2 (North Campus), April 3 (Central Campus), and April 4 (South Campus) in the courtyards outside of the Student Center buildings (N12, C14, S11) on all campuses.

The H10s returns to the MTH lineup in 2006, featuring the level of detail you've come to expect in a Premier steamer. Virtually all piping and boiler appliances are separate, added-on parts, as are the bell and whistle cords. Rods and valve gear have a prototypically darkened, grimy appearance, and the ProtoSoundr 2.0 sound and control system features an accurate Pennsy whistle. If you model any period from the Woodrow Wilson era to the Eisenhower years, there's an appropriate chore on your railroad for this rugged, muscular-looking steamer.


Q: How did the school react when the app at Wilson Middle school won?
A: Everyone was extremely excited. Once the Fan Favorite voting started, our App Challenge team really got the word out to vote for their project. Our staff and students have been very supportive during this entire process.
Q: How did the contestants react?
A: The App Challenge team was overjoyed. As they put it, "Minds Blown." They put in so many hours to create the app and then promote it, I don't think they could be any more excited. They are all so pumped up to be able to travel to Nashville, Tennessee, for the TSA Conference at the end of June.
Q: What was your reaction when they won?
A: Relieved! They worked so hard to accomplish this outcome, it would have been hard to see them not win. I am obviously excited and happy for our school, but even more for the six students and two teachers who worked on this.
Q: Do you feel that the community had an impact in the contest? How?
A: The community had a HUGE impact on the outcome of this contest! The Wyandotte City Council went above and beyond to help us reach the entire Wyandotte community. The students were able to present their app at, both, city council and school board meetings. All of our schools, in the district, promoted this on their Facebook pages and building marquees. There were many people in the community who promoted this on their personal Facebook pages. Businesses let the students post flyers, it was just amazing. It is things like this that make me happy and proud to be a Wyandotte resident.

Princes Bridge was a Melbourne railway station built in 1859 and was the terminus for all Epping line and Hurstbridge line trains.  The station was named after the adjacent Princes Bridge, which crosses the Yarra River. Originally Princes Bridge station was isolated from Flinders Street station, even though it was adjacent to it, sited just on the opposite side of Swanston Street. Some years later the railway tracks were extended under the street to join the two stations, and Princes Bridge slowly became amalgamated into the larger Flinders Street station. This process was completed in May 1997.

History
Originally known as Prince's Bridge (as was the bridge itself), the station was opened as the city terminus of the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company line to Punt Road (Richmond) in 1859. Extended to Prahran in 1859 and Windsor in 1860, it formed today's Sandringham line. A small engine shed was built east of the station in 1859 by the company. A locomotive depot later replaced it on a new site in 1888, which was demolished to make way for the Jolimont Workshops in 1917, as part of the electrification of the suburban rail network.

The Hobson's Bay, Melbourne and St Kilda and Brighton railway companies merged into the Hobson's Bay United Railway Company in mid-1865. The three systems were connected at Flinders Street station in October 1865 and Princes Bridge station was closed. It was reopened on 2 April 1879, when the Railways Department began to use it as the terminus of the newly opened Gippsland Railway. The City Morgue was located close to the station entrance on Swanston Street, until it was acquired by the railways and demolished in 1890. The direct rail connection between Princes Bridge and Clifton Hill station was not opened until October 1901. Before that, trains from the north-eastern suburbs used the indirect route of the Inner Circle line via Fitzroy to reach Spencer Street Station.

By 1910, the two stations were effectively joined together, although they retained their separate names. There were three platforms at Princes Bridge. One was an extension of Flinders Street platform 1 ("platform 1 East"), while the other two served an island platform, with the tracks being numbered 15 and 16. Track 15 was a dead end, but track 16 (the northernmost one) had a traverser between it and a parallel run around siding, which allowed steam locomotives to change ends. A footbridge provided pedestrian access to the east end of the island platform from Flinders Street, with the 'Flinders Street D' signal box located beyond it. Further north-east of the main lines to Jolimont was a locomotive siding and a coal stage, and a carriage siding was located to the south-east. By 1957, the sidings had been rationalised, with the locomotive facilities and traverser removed. The sidings now formed part of Jolimont Yard.

The original Princes Bridge station buildings were demolished to make way for the Princes Gate Towers, which later became known as the Gas & Fuel towers. The station itself was retained, with new tracks and platforms commissioned in December 1964. On 29 June 1980, Princes Bridge station was merged with Flinders Street Station as platforms 14, 15 and 16.  By 1975, the track had been simplified to run into platform 14, 15 and 16 only, and was further simplified by 1982 due to the construction nearby of the City Circle portal of the City Loop railway.

From 6 December 1981 until 23 August 1993, a train service called "City Circle" originated at the station. This train ran in a circle around the City Loop, stopping at all stations, before returning to Princes Bridge. It was replaced by the City Circle tram in mid-1994.

In 1994, the Premier of the State Government Jeff Kennett announced that the Gas and Fuel towers were to be demolished to make way for a cultural precinct to be called Federation Square. The site for the project was also to include most of the space of the former Princes Bridge station, with Epping and Hurstbridge trains redirected to platform 1/14, to run via the City Loop. Piling works and crash walls for Federation Square were completed by October 1998, with the deck above finished by mid-1999. Building works atop the deck commenced in August 1999. The space of platforms 15 and 16 of the former station is now a large basement gallery space for temporary exhibitions of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

Often, people trade privacy and security for convenience. However in today's concrete jungle, this is an extremely foolish decision considering the vast amount of technologies being used against consumer interest. First off, I won't waste any time explaining WHY one would want to deter any entity from mass collecting, retaining, and sharing my personal information and metadata. There are plenty of articles that shed light on why any and EVERY ordinary citizen should be concerned about this practice; no need for repetition.
This brief article is intended to be the first of many in a small series that will help liberate you from the chains of mass surveillance, beginning with your mobile device. I intend to keep these articles short and high-level due to a lack of time and the wealth of information available online anyways (you can search any of the steps I provide to find guides and a plethora of information).
Please note that regardless of how many safeguards you take, how many layers of protection you employ, there is no such thing as a 100% safe guarantee to anything when it comes to the Internet, or for electronics as a whole for that matter. Just remember the golden rule for everything in life, if you can make it you can break it.
Configure xPrivacy to send either preset or arbitrarily generated data (e.g. empty contact list, random serial #, random IMEI, etc.), make sure all your applications are only getting what they NEED (most are common sense, e.g. random application does not need online access, access to contacts, etc.). As a general rule, do NOT trust corporations with your information :) To avoid breaking things, if your unsure about a permission only disable one by one to identify if it will causing any undesired behavior in the application.
To avoid play store but still get any app you want you can just browse to it from your browser, copy the URL, and paste it inside any APK downloader (perform an online search for APK downloader and you'll find one).
Use your common sense always!
If you have any questions feel free to throw them at me :) I will answer at my first available convenience. Hope this information helps some people, have a great week!
