No claims by the Buyer in respect of damage to, shortage or loss of some or all of the Goods in transit prior to delivery shall be made by the Buyer or accepted by the Seller once the Goods have been signed for. The Buyer accepts that this allows a reasonable period to allow such inspection. The Buyer shall be responsible for the inspection of the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery and in any event, not more than two (2) working days after delivery to ensure that the quality, condition and specification of the Goods conform to the order. Where the Buyer wishes to reject Goods, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer to return those Goods to the Seller at the Buyer's own expense and in accordance with Condition 3.5, but subject always to Condition 8.6.

If no dates are so specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time.

Such interest shall be paid, along with all statutory compensation due to the Seller, by the Buyer on demand by the Seller.

7.1 Transfer of Title: Property and title in the Goods delivered to the Buyer shall not pass to the Buyer until the Price for the Goods has been received in full by the Seller. Where the Goods to be supplied in terms of a Contract are supplied in instalments, this Condition will apply to each instalment as if it formed the subject matter of a separate and independent contract. Until the Price has been received in full by the Seller, the Buyer will hold and store the Goods at the Buyer's risk as agent for the Seller and in a manner which clearly distinguishes them from other Goods of the Buyer and indicates that they are the property of the Seller.

Campus Reform | OPINION: Antifa: Docs, doxing, and the docked: The rise of Antifa in an increasingly toxic university environment
OPINION: Antifa: Docs, doxing, and the docked: The rise of Antifa in an increasingly toxic university environment
Martin Catino | Assistant Professor at Liberty University Online
Friday, April 9, 2021 4:28 PM
Editor's note: The views in this opinion editorial are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Campus Reform or of its parent organization, the Leadership Institute.
Despite the many contributions of the academic community to developing the intellectual capital of the most prosperous nation in the world, fostering a culture of national unity, public security, and the rule of law--and educating students committed to these ideals--is not one of them. As the tumultuous decade of the 1960s came to a roaring end in the 1969-1970 school year, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called attention to this problem of radical professors propagandizing, organizing, and operationalizing college students—a problem remaining to the present with the rise of Antifa on college campuses and its activities across the country.
In 1970, the famed Director testified college campuses across the United States had witnessed "an unprecedented number of disturbances and incidents of student-centered violence," including 1,785 demonstrations, 313 building seizures by violent students, 246 arson or attempted arson attacks, and 14 bombings (Hoover, Statement Before President's Commission on Campus Unrest, July 1970, p.1). Issue-based grievances centering on civil rights and Vietnam War protests had putrefied in the toxic political climate of the 1960s and became revolutionary anti-Americanism as radicalized, organized, and professionalized agitators exploited opportunities and circumstances for their own benefit and for misguided visions of a better world. Communist and radical Left ideology provided the specious framework needed to channel the rage and rebellion on the strategic targets of America's future leaders.
[RELATED: Just a 'myth'? Here are 5 times Antifa reared its head on campus in 2020]
Throughout the era, Hoover and other security experts identified not only off-campus agitators, and foreign operatives as key actors creating the unrest, but also university professors, who directly and indirectly condoned and excused campus violence, disregarding their responsibility to ethically educate the student community. These university "Docs" and college administrators had worked aggressively to demoralize, degrade, and darken and entire generation, many of whom are now nested comfortably in the academic community where they hatch another generation of radicals, this time largely shorn of long hair and headbands, psychedelic clothing, and peace signs and often clad in simple black and calling themselves Antifa.
Piled in the same historical closets with these relics of "the love generation," are the simple force configurations of radicals--loosely associated academics, professional organizers, disillusioned students, and "hippies" openly displayed in a public orgy of political violence on campuses—a visible, largely external force. Now, Antifa operates deeply inside colleges where radical socialism has metastasized into the vital organs of departments, institutions, administrations, and wider systems. Emerging in this toxicity of ideas are the malign opportunities, cultures, and networks such as the Campus Antifascist Network (CAN), whose very name belies its own propaganda message asserting Antifa is a movement and not an organization.
While Antifa emerged from the putrefied political ideology of the 1960s, its tactics (organizational, operational, and support) are more a product of decades of fermentation through the suffocation of failure and legal prosecution, which created a potent cocktail of tactical strength mixed with inebriated feelings of invincibility among its members, who imbibe Anarchist propaganda through websites like CrimethIinc--and many others. CrimethInc not only advocates the most proven subversive and violent tactics of anarchists, but also the psychological, sociological, managerial, legal, and procedural components necessary for lethality and operational success—no doubt the contrivances of expert subversives and not amateurs.
Highly organized as decentralized autonomous cells, clusters, branches, and networks (national and international), Antifa is remarkably fluid, changing size, associations, partnerships, posture, and even locations while remaining capable of rapid mobilization and demobilization given opportunities and challenges. Priding itself on "horizontality," the capability to operate in loose affinities and partnerships with other cells and groupings, Antifa strives to be fast, flat, and fluid while seizing platforms for key events such as Presidential inaugurals or major economic events such as the ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (1999), which Antifa and other radicals turned into the "Battle in Seattle." (1999).
[RELATED: GWU law prof: Antifa is winning, colleges are helping]
Antifa organizers urge its associates to create either open, semi-open, closed (covert), or front groups depending on organizational mission. These self-professed radical anarchists execute simple yet largely unnoticed social, diplomatic-political, information, and economic-financial operations in addition to the far more visible militant, Black Bloc activities where highly specialized roles and tactics occur methodically, simultaneously, and routinely.
Therefore, the black clad Antifa appearing on campuses may only be an atypical sample of the types of its followers in a given area, and sometimes its least dangerous elements given its associates operate in politics, churches, education, technical industries—and of course, on campuses, where suits, ties, handshakes, and computers replace black masks, spray cans, clenched fists, and lasers used to blind law enforcement officers in the air and on the ground.
Amid these advanced tactics honed from decades of experience, intense leadership discussions, historical analysis, and current street fights in American cities and suburbs are the Docs like Mark Bray who demonstrate that professors remain a central figure in campus unrest. His Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook promotes these subversive organizational techniques (with a paper-thin justification of countering racism) in an Appendix where eager radicals can find the advice:
Sometimes you need a solid group that will be working for years. Sometimes you look for a small group of activists for one action. Sometimes you have to work underground, anonymously, especially in small cities overwhelmed by a hatred towards minorities—in school, on the street, from the local authorities. Sometimes you can work openly, and advocate for oppressed groups uncovered
—K, Poland (quoted in Bray, Antifa, p. 216).
While strategic, operational, and tactical adaptability and refinement have occurred among radical Left groups such as Antifa, their predatory nature remains constant and threatening throughout the decades, particularly to college students. Antifa directly targets for recruitment the politically angry, frustrated, action-oriented, and mobilized--as well as friendship groups. Similarly, these radical anarchists vet their own groups by removing personality types including idealogues, overbearing personalities, braggers and loose lips, those who are personally and not politically violent, provocateurs, and "slow learners," and others who impede operational unity and effectiveness (Anti-Fascist Network, How to Set Up an Anti-fascist Group, online). Therefore, it is not "big brother" who may be watching you on campus as the Left asserts, but little black clad brother who appears as your friend.
Among the more predatory practices of Antifa is doxing, a malicious act of revealing someone's personal information without their permission, including name, date of birth, address, and "pictures typically retrieved from social networking site profiles" (FBI, Internet Social Networking Risks, p.2). The case of Daniel D'Ambly an alleged white supremacist illustrates the point as it made headlines in September 2020 when he filed a civil complaint against Christian Exoo, a well-know Antifa whose doxing was openly acknowledged as was his heavy social media presence on Twitter. The court document reveals the unsurprising allegations of his university employment; the institution's knowledge and protection of Exoo's doxing "enterprise"; the targeting of D'Ambly's address, workplace, associates; networked mobilization of students against him; social media "ban evasion"; and violent acts including vandalism of his car and direct threats via Twitter stating: " Regardless, I'm gonna spend the next week wrecking your f^%cking life, Dan D'Ambly."
The D'Ambly civil action court case reveals not only the problems of Docs and doxing, but what can be called "the Docked." The Webster Online dictionary defines the word docked as "to penalize by depriving of a benefit ordinarily due," or "to take away a part of." The circumstances of the allegations of this case clearly demonstrated D'Ambly, regardless of his political beliefs, was "deprived of [benefits] ordinarily due" Americans: prosecution of criminal activity on campus or on social media like Twitter; the right to privacy; freedom of speech; protection of employment; protection of property; community and personal security; and allegedly legal representation. Here is Antifa's primary mission: not the fight against Fascism but the destruction of the freedoms, rights, and benefits of Constitutional America. The anti-Fascism and anti-racism declarations of Antifa are merely cover for a very sinister agenda.
The problem of "the Docked" is therefore not isolated to specific cases like D'Ambly's. It is happening to many Americans.

Oil prices rose over worries about supply disruptions after Iran warned of consequences if Arabian Gulf oil producers raise their output to replace Iranian barrels.
Brent crude gained 29¢ to stand at $110.73 a barrel, while US crude rose 23¢ to $98.93.
The threat comes as Asian buyers of Iranian oil consider alternative Middle East suppliers and the US pressures other countries to stop importing oil from Iran, reports Reuters.
Asian shares fell after mass ratings reduced further aggravated eurozone funding difficulties.

Briana DeJesus announces on Twitter that she will need to wear headgear for 2 years to fix her jaw Pic credit: MTV
Teen Mom 2 star Briana DeJesus recently announced that she will need to wear headgear for two years to fix a problem with her jaw.
Briana shared the news with fans on Twitter along with a picture of a person in oversized headgear.
Briana posted and said, "Guys, it's official I will be wearing this for minimum 24 months…16hrs a day. I'm crying and laughing at the same time."
The post caused quite a reaction from fans as many were shocked at the fact she would need to go to such extremes and some had funny comments of their own.
One wrote, "Would go perfect for Halloween. You can be the girl from finding Nemo! That does suck about having to wear this for so long a day and for so many months."
Another added a photo of the character from finding Nemo and made a joke about putting her kids to bed. Along with the picture she wrote, "What Stella and Nova are gonna see when they wake up for school."
One concerned fan felt she needed a second opinion and said, "Definitely need a 2nd opinion, I have worked in an orthodontic office for over 20 years and this is craziness for an adult."

Briana's had other work done on her body
The addition of headgear is the latest in work Briana has had to "correct" her body, but the other procedures have been elective.
Briana has been open about the plastic surgery she's had and referred to the work as a "mommy makeover." The work was done by Dr. Michael Salzhauer, otherwise known as Dr. Miami.
In total, she had a tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast lift, a breast reduction, and reshaped and contoured her butt. Briana showed off the work on her Instagram page.
Briana seeks financial assistance from her baby daddies
During recent episodes of Teen Mom 2, Briana's storyline has been overtaken by her financial issues with baby daddies Luis Hernandez and Devoin Austin. Briana was furious that neither of them had contributed to support their children financially and she wanted to set them up on a payment plan.
On this week's episode, Devoin was fed up with Briana's request for financial support and went off about how he didn't think he should have to contribute when she's made more money than him. During a car ride to pick up their daughter Nova, he referenced the fact that she has a "$15,000 body" but he doesn't own enough items to even come close to that total.
After the episode aired, Briana went off on Twitter, revealing how angry she was about what Devoin said during the car ride.
While Briana's latest body fix doesn't seem to be happening by choice, it's likely the headgear will still cost her a pretty penny. Her financial battles with her baby daddies are sure to continue on the remainder of this season of Teen Mom 2.
Teen Mom 2 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on MTV.


Long, fun, mellow reefbreaks that can handle some size, lefts being favoured. Popular with longboarders, and spreads out the Kimmeridge crowd. A few rocks and rips at size.
Park down near the slipway and walk round the cliffs to the east.


Consider throwing some speed nuts on the back of the lower one you have to screw through the plastic for more support. They're great mudflaps, but the crayon drawing instructions leave a bit to be desired. You can also tuck the front ones behind the inner fender liner for a cleaner look if that's your thing.
YUP, it was mentioned earlier in the thread to install behind the liner and that is what I did. Also, did the speednuts!
These are perfect for what I want. Those Rally Armors are just too big and floppy.

Just ordered a set of these - anything I should call and make sure they do? Sounds like maybe include correct hardware? Also, I've seen some other mud guard reviews say wheels don't need to come off for front, but may for rear. Is that the case with these?
you can do it without taking off the rear wheels. I used a hex screw bit to get the stock screws out and the same bit with a small ratcheting wrench to put the one ones nice and tight. it's just plastic so they don't require tons of force.
Can't decide whether I want the zl1's or the more expensive UK fitted mudflaps that only fit the rear correct.

Enterprise mobility, the flood of workplace devices, Software-as-a-Service application, and the cloud have transformed the way business operates, allowing business owners and employees to become both more mobile and more productive.
But the shift to mobile, cloud-based business has produced other changes as well, like a proliferation of personal mobile devices being used in work situation, dissolving business perimeters, and a greater use of public – or off domain – networks. While these shifts often result in increased productivity, they can also put businesses' sensitive data at greater risk of security threats, attacks, or breaches.
Is it possible to give employees the mobility and productivity they need in a modern workplace while also protecting your data? Yes.
Microsoft released an ebook that discusses seven ways businesses can better protect data, and the actionable steps they can take to reduce vulnerability. Below is a summary of the steps. You can download the full ebook here.
Often the weakest links in security are employees, whether by accidentally leaking sensitive data or exposing their credentials in social networks. This is in part because maintaining control over applications across corporate data centers and public cloud platforms has become an increasingly complicated challenge.
As the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend grows and the use of Software-asa-Service (SaaS) applications proliferates, security concerns multiply. Critical data is being stored with greater frequency in the public cloud, which is not always governed by the same security standards as private cloud or on-premises solutions. This reality is forcing businesses to adapt quickly to maintain tight security.
Conditional access restricts access to corporate resources based on either user identity, or device health. It's also about enforcing policies based on location and application data sensitivity. For example, accessing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application from a café requires multi-factor authentication because of both the location of the user and the sensitive data of the CRM system.
Mobile workplaces can greatly increase productivity and access to work-related resources, but they also increases the risk of accidental data leaks through apps and services like email, social media, and the cloud. Providing a safer environment for employees to work remotely is key to maintaining a more secure business while enabling mobile productivity.
Sharing documents through email and other online tools is an important productivity tool for workers, but to err is human. Employees can easily send information to the wrong recipient, or attach the wrong document, inadvertently sharing access to sensitive data.
When it comes to sharing information, convenience often trumps security, which makes for a security professionals living nightmare. Workers can get creative with how they share information, putting your data in jeopardy and your company at risk of losing critical data.
Malware infections can often be traced back to user error. Phishing and spoofing schemes have become extremely sophisticated, tricking users with fake emails from trusted brands, luring them in with fake news stories, and convincing them to download innocuous-seeming apps that contain hidden attacks.

Lunar Cycler: To cheaply go 'how' no one has gone before
Apollo 11 Earthrise. Photo Credit: NASA
Buzz me up to the Moon! The second man to walk on the lunar surface, Buzz Aldrin, really meant it when he proposed thirty years ago to use Cycler orbits for future better and cheaper transportation to the Moon. The Lunar Cycler Orbit, also known as the Earth-Moon cycler, is a periodic orbit that passes close to both of these bodies repeatedly, enabling an economical trip. To support sustained operations at a lunar research station or mining base, this approach would use less propellant than would be required by more traditional methods.
While this sounds great, how is it possible?
A spacecraft would be placed into a permanent, highly elliptical orbit around the Earth and the Moon. Once a Lunar Cycler vehicle has been propelled into this orbit, it should require relatively little fuel over the years to maintain its orbit. It would complete an orbit once every two weeks, and make a close approach to the Moon every other orbit. The cycler journey from the Earth to the Moon would take about a week.
The Lunar Cycler Orbit could provide a permanent reusability in cislunar navigation. If everything proceeds according to plan, a normal cycler mission would work like this:
A reusable space shuttle would send crews into Earth orbit. They would then use the Cycler to travel to cislunar space, where a reusable lunar shuttle would deliver them to the Moon's surface and back. The proposed Cycler spacecraft would rely on gravity assist maneuvers to keep it going with occasional powered corrections to maintain a proper trajectory.

By avoiding 'throw-away' technologies, like those used during the Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Cycler approach could provide a far cheaper method for sustained human operations on the Moon. The Cycler would offer a stable link between the Earth and the Moon, allowing three Earth-return opportunities every two months. Adding more Cycler spacecraft would allow more frequent trips and more options, according to a study by researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
"A two-Cycler program provides twice-monthly Earth-return windows," the researchers found. "The two-Cycler system recommended here is particularly amenable to incremental growth and efficiency because of the ability of the two Cyclers to rendezvous with each other and join, if desired, into a larger station while a third Cycler takes the now empty place of one of the first two."
They note that another benefit would come from the ability of the Cycler to provide a propellant depot capability as well as a safe-haven for astronauts during solar storms. Moreover, by using this method, heavy life support equipment would only have to be pushed out of Earth's punishing gravity well once. In terms of size, some Cycler concepts suggest the spacecraft could be some 200 feet (61 meters) long and accommodate 12 passengers and crew.
The researchers also underline that a full-time Cycler could provide extensive traffic between Earth and Moon and that it will almost certainly have an emergency maneuver capability (if there was cause to return to Earth or the Moon) drawing on its stores of cryogenic propellant normally used for the transfer shuttles.
The concept is a promising one for future human beyond-low-Earth-orbit missions, and the Earth/Moon Cycler could also serve as a logistical and technological prototype for deep-space Cyclers to other destinations in the Solar System. So, as NASA plans for journeys to Mars and beyond, Buzz Aldrin's Cycler concept is worth considering.

Had a couple of questions for the writer of this piece. A shuttle would carry astronauts and cargo from earth orbit. Wouldn't the fact that the shuttle has to rendezvous with the cycler and then launch from the cycler affect its momentum? Would a shuttle have to race to catch up with the orbiter and then have a very limited time at station before it would have to take off again?
From what we understand, the cycler would require occasional minor "boosts" (or reboosts as it were) – it is likely any changes caused by arriving shuttles – would be factored into this adjustment.
Sincerely, Jason Rhian – Editor, SpaceFlight Insider
Looks like a great concept. Maybe Buzz should have a t-shirt that says "Get Your Ass to the Moon!" Now all we need is a lunar exploration program that makes use of this idea.
Orbital mechanics is not my forté. Pardon me if this is a dumb question : Is it possible to have many different spacecraft staggered along this Lunar Cycler ellipse , somewhat like the A Train orbit used by that chain of NASA earth science satellites? Or does each E-M Cycler spacecraft travel its own separate orbit?

Actually, the short story I was mentioning was the 2-part prose story "The Girl Who Would Be Lita." Shiei's working on Amazing Agent Luna, so we don't have any new Vampire Cheerleaders stuff coming from Shiei right now. I wouldn't ever rule it out, though.
I'm not entirely sure that's Lori... Could it be her sire?
Tags on the main page say "Lori".
Robe-like garments and proper dresses really do make her look more like a proper master vampire, don't they?
Her hair is also a lot shorter considering its usually down around her ankles. She must save money on haircuts, that's for sure.
Now that´s a beautiful dress.
She looks quite lovely really.

Yes, like a Coral Snake.
Error of Logic wrote: Well, she's changed.
My guess is that this is how she looked in the past and now how she looks currently. I do think there is definitely more depth to her than what's been shown. I can't say the same for her spawn, though. They're about as deep as a nearly evaporated rain puddle.
We have already seen that she is the only one with genuine warrior spirit. All the others can do is bicker with each other and sometimes kill their prey. Lori is the only one who has genuinely entered combat and killed a creature with powers to be reckoned with.
Zoe, Suki and the Braceface who died at the begining of Vol 1 definately, Lesley and Heather have a bit more to them (especialy Lesley).

What, that short and one sided "fight scene" near the end of volume two? All she really did was attack and kill out of anger. Her "opponent" didn't fight back ether so how can we even call that combat? Lori may actually have a genuine warrior spirit within her, but that particular scene doesn't prove it.

Dealing with grief, one day at a time.
This site and associated podcast is a first person narrative describing how I deal with death, grief and bereavement.
Mental health is a topic that is not discussed often enough. On today's show, I'd like to welcome Nancy Eigel-Miller to discuss the work she is doing to educate others in concerning this topic.
Nancy founded the James W. Miller Memorial Fund in 2010 after losing her husband Jim to suicide in 2008. She spent her career in the marketing/market research arena but the call to educate about mental health issues to the youth population pull her in that direction. Her mission is to change the conversation about mental health among the areas youth.
Nancy is based in Cincinnati, Ohio.


The Finnish sauna has been used for thousands of years as a place to care for the body and the mind. We can still learn from the ancient folk traditions and the different treatments and enjoy them.
The use of supplementary treatments alongside official medicine has increased considerably. The essential values of folk medicine, naturalness, comprehensiveness, gentleness and care have begun to interest ever more people.
"Organic values, respect for locality and the use of natural health products are being favoured in Western countries more than before," says wellness tourism entrepreneur and traditional sauna hostess Maaria Alén.
Ms Alén has established an enterprise providing traditional treatments in Lahti. The idea is to take the customers to the sauna where they are offered various treatment packages. The overall principle is respect for traditions, with focus on relaxation and quietude.
According to Ms Alén, the curing skills based on old folklore live on quite actively in Finland.
"Instead of curses set by malevolent people or supernatural sources, pathogens are nowadays sought from the burden caused by a busy lifestyle," she points out.
In Western countries, people suffering from hurry and stress now seek help particularly from mindfulness guides which extol a conscious and approving presence and listening to one's body. This kind of approach has already been known in Asian meditation for thousands of years, but in Western countries these methods became widely known in the 1990s, when the American Jon Kabat Zinn spoke of stress control associated with awareness skills. According to Ms Alén, the sauna and the forest have been doing the same for ages.
Finnish folk tradition is based on the curing and harmonising power of nature, which essentially involves stopping, quietude and listening. For many, the sauna, the forest and the end of a pier have been places for relaxation and quiet. Maaria Alén specialises in sauna treatments and traditional cures based on folk tradition. The sauna has traditionally been at the centre of Finnish folk medicine. The old folk believed in the curing force of the sauna, and the various forms of Finnish folk medicine, such as cupping, massage, limb repair, whisking and the use of different medicinal plants were directly connected with it.
Ms Alén bathes customers in a way that could be called a kind of combination of massage and phytotherapy or herbalism. Ms Alén whisks. It has long been a forgotten form of treatment in Finland.
Whisking in the sauna has been proven to improve blood circulation. Because the pores open in the sauna, the bundles made of leaves and twigs effectively combine massage and aromatherapy. Different species of plants have different active ingredients, such as tanning agents, saponins, disinfectants and aromatic oils. Birch treats and cleanses the skin. The saponins of birch together with water act as soap. In cosmetics, birch has traditionally been used in hair care. Birch leaves strengthen the scalp, prevent hair loss and make the hair soft and glossy. Pine and juniper open the respiratory tract.
According to Ms Alén, whisking in the sauna is effective thermal massage which can be used to treat physical ailments.
The whisking techniques and force used by Ms Alén are based on discussion with the customer. "Some are treated with a light hand, others quite strongly. In these cases the whisks used may also vary. The principle is the same as in massage: you progress from a light surface touch to a deeper one. The heat brings its own particularities and efficiency to the treatment. The whisker must constantly follow the formation of the heat and its effect on the customer. One can say that the heat is the most important colleague, not the whisks.
The general health effects of sauna-bathing are naturally also combined with the effects of whisking. These include the deep cleansing of the body, positive effects on the heart, blood pressure, the respiratory tract and the quality of sleep.
According to Ms Alén, sauna and bathing can renew and purify us physically, psychically and mentally.

Solar Frontier Completes Construction of the Tohoku Plant, Moves into Ramp-Up Phase2015-04-02
Solar Frontier Completes Construction of the Tohoku Plant, Moves into Ramp-Up Phase
Operational testing of model CIS production plant begins
Tokyo – 2 April, 2015 – Solar Frontier, the world's largest CIS solar energy solutions company, announced today that it has completed the construction of its fourth production plant, the Tohoku Plant. The new 150 MW production plant, located in Miyagi, Japan, now moves into the ramp-up phase.
The Tohoku Plant is a cornerstone in Solar Frontier's global growth strategy. The new plant features upgrades to Solar Frontier's existing CIS production lines using advanced technology developed at its Atsugi Research Center. These will enable best-in-class production costs and new product advantages. The Tohoku Plant also serves as a model for Solar Frontier's future production plants as the company looks to expand its global production footprint. Solar Frontier will use the ramp-up phase to test and verify its latest CIS line technology, while also including new learnings during this period.
The introduction of the new plant comes as Solar Frontier works to bring its CIS technology to more customers around the world. Compared to crystalline silicon modules, CIS modules generate a higher energy yield (kilowatt-hours per kilowatt-peak) in real world conditions. The Tohoku Plant will build on the performance advantages of CIS with new product upgrades. This includes module conversion efficiencies of over 15% and adjustments to the voltage and current of its CIS thin-film modules, enabling more freedom in system design.
The Tohoku Plant's new production line is based on the proven production process at Solar Frontier's 900 MW Kunitomi Plant in southern Japan. The Tohoku Plant will enhance Solar Frontier's leadership in CIS as well as help further adoption of thin-film technology around the world.

On December 9, Volkswagen launched the Electrify America website, which functioned initially as a portal for collecting as well as accepting proposals. January 16 was the deadline for proposals for the first 30-month cycle, as well as VW will be due to present its plan for the first cycle on February 22. Proposals for the subsequent three investment cycles can be submitted on a rolling basis.
"The organization also will build brand-neutral awareness of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) through education as well as outreach to promote their increased adoption within the United States," said the organization in its inaugural press Discharge.
The centerpiece of the organization's efforts, in This specific first cycle, will include installing more than 300 Level 2 as well as DC fast-charging stations in 15 metro areas as well as developing a high-speed cross-country charging network with more than 0 DC fast-charging stations. In a California location not yet announced, the item will launch a Green City initiative for testing of future sustainable-mobility concepts such as an all-electric shuttle service or car-sharing program.
How This specific brand-new network of 500 chargers fits in alongside Tesla's Supercharger network as well as existing subsidized programs by Nissan, BMW, as well as others remains to be seen.


My notes for this column have kept getting bigger and bigger. Wow, it seems a boom-time to publish things on Tolkien, and it's hard to keep up in terms of knowing what's out there, as well it being an expensive proposition even to pick up the best. This list is mainly based on US publications, though I had added information about a few British releases that aren't scheduled for US publication. And I've left out calendars for now--I'll cover them in a future column. Let me begin with Tolkien's American publisher.
Houghton Mifflin has recently reissued the hardcover versions of The Book of Lost Tales Part One (ISBN 03953454390) and The Book of Lost Tales Part Two (ISBN 0395366143), each priced at $30.00. These titles haven't been available in hardcover for a long time, so this would be a good chance to get them in this format.
Also recently released is Gary Russell's The Lord of the Rings: The Art of the Two Towers (ISBN 0-618-33130-1 $35.00). This is the companion volume to last years book on The Fellowship of the Ring. It traces the development of the imagery of the second Peter Jackson film from artistic conception through the full-screen realization.
And here are the Houghton Mifflin publications for the rest of the year. Some of the publication dates are not precisely certain. Thanks to Clay Harper of Houghton Mifflin for the details.
Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting the new "revised and expanded edition" of Tom Shippey's first book on Tolkien, The Road to Middle-earth, which is coming in trade paperback sometime in June (ISBN 0618257608 $13.00 trade paperback). This is a classic book on Tolkien, and it is one of the first books to read if you're interested in Tolkien's literary background and what went into his creation of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
"Middle-earth was born as a response to the Great War, and it is this foundation of tragic experience that underlies its power. Far from being an escapist, Tolkien used his mythic imagination to transform the cataclysm that engulfed his generation. While other artists surrendered to disillusion, he kept enchantment alive, hammering fairy story into a form relevant to modern times. Tolkien's mythology is a fugue on despair and hope, death and consolation. It is a protest, too, against totalitarianism and the machine, the twin evils that came to obscene prominence in 1914-18. But Tolkien's War shows how the invention of the hobbits in the 1930s finally gave Tolkien the means to write the "War novel" that he had been struggling to get out for twenty years: The Lord of the Rings."
Also up for October (though Amazon says September) is Brian Sibley's Maps of Tolkien's Middle-earth, which is a slip-cased collection of Sibley's four map-booklets, including three that have previously been available, There and Back Again: The Map of The Hobbit; The Map of Tolkien's Middle-earth; The Map of Tolkien's Beleriand and the Lands to the North; and a new one for N�menor. These are all illustrated by John Howe, and look quite nice (ISBN 061839110X $29.95).
Next up is what looks to be the most desirable reference book of the season. Tolkien scholars Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull have done a two-volume J. R. R. Tolkien Companion. The first volume is a Reader's Guide, which the publisher describes as follows: "The Reader's Guide includes brief but comprehensive alphabetical entries on a wide range of topics, including a who's who of important persons, a guide to places and institutions, details concerning Tolkien's source material, information about the political and social upheavals through which the author lived, the importance of his social circle, his service as an infantryman in World War I -- even information on the critical reaction to his work and the Tolkien cult." The second volume is a Chronology, described as follows: "Chronology details the parallel evolutions of Tolkien's works and his academic and personal life in minute detail. Spanning the entirety of his long life including nearly sixty years of active labor on his Middle-earth creations, and drawing on such contemporary sources as school records, war service files, biographies, correspondence, the letters of his close friend C. S. Lewis, and the diaries of W. H. Lewis, this book will be an invaluable resource for those who wish to gain a complete understanding of Tolkien's status as a giant of twentieth-century literature." Each volume is probably going to be over 800 pages. They will be sold separately--Reader's Guide (ISBN 0618391010 $35.00) and Chronology (ISBN 0618391029 $35.00)-- and as a slip-cased set (ISBN 0618391134 $70.00).
Towards the end of October, look for a special one-time only limited edition The Lord of the Rings Bookend Gift Set (ISBN 0618401210 $75.00). This set will include a movie tie-in hardcover one-volume edition of The Lord of the Rings with unique art on the cover, plus (by special arrangement) the Sideshow bookends set of Gandalf and Bilbo at Bag End. Here are the two bookends.
And then in November comes the next crop of film books. These will have a National Laydown Date of November 5th. There are four books again, two aimed for adults and two aimed for children.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Visual Companion, by Jude Fisher (ISBN 0618390979 $18.95 hardcover). This will be the same format as last year's Visual Companion for The Two Towers, but it will be eight pages longer.
The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare by Chris Smith with John Howe dual edition (ISBN 0618391002 $17.95 oversize paperback; and ISBN 0618390995 $24.95 hardcover). Here's the publisher's blurb on this book: "Hundreds of exclusive images create a detailed tour through the major and minor battles of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. As the memorable experience of watching The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers shows, Peter Jackson's epic movie trilogy is destined to become the most exciting action-adventure series ever filmed. Given its vast cast of characters spread across an enormous imaginary landscape, many fans are eager for a more detailed look at the strategy, weapons, and armor from each onscreen clash. It's all here: from the Last Alliance to the Mines of Moria, from the Battle of Helm's Deep to the flooding of Isengard, and from the massive Battle of Pelennor Fields to the Black Gates of Mordor and beyond. Weapons and Warfare provides specially commissioned battle plans and an in-depth analysis of the action and outcome of each encounter, all lavishly illustrated in full color. Here too readers will find a photographic record of all the weapons and fighting styles specific to each culture: dwarves, elves, hobbits, wizards, the men of Rohan and Gondor, the different races of orcs, Easterlings, and more."
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum by Brian Sibley with Andy Serkis (ISBN 0618391045 $11.95 oversize paperback). Here again is the publisher's blurb: "The creation, realization, and performance of the pivotal character Gollum is illuminated in words and pictures. Few of the hundreds of characters within The Lord of the Rings are as fascinating as the tormented Gollum. Though he is entirely computer-generated onscreen, his haunted personality is brought vividly to life through the extraordinary talent and performance of Andy Serkis. Serkis's voice, body, and facial movements served as the electronic blueprint for the technical wizards who conjured the character seen in the film, and it was his physical presence -- later removed digitally -- that served as the foil for the actors playing Frodo and Sam. The behind-the-scenes story of a breakthrough cinematic achievement is told in this book."
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Photo Guide by David Brawn (ISBN 0618390987 $8.95 oversize paperback). Once again the publisher's blurb: "A full-color introduction for young readers The Lord of the Rings film trilogy reaches its phenomenal conclusion as Frodo, Sam, and Gollum struggle toward the fires of Mount Doom through Shelob's Lair. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli must choose the Paths of the Dead to bring desperate aid to the besieged city of Minas Tirith in Gondor, where Gandalf and Merry have gone to rally the steward Denethor. Pippin, forbidden to accompany his friends or the army of Rohan in their long march to war, joins a mysterious rider banished to a similar fate. Spectacular imagery illuminates the story as it proceeds to the Battle of Pelennor Fields."
Announced as a March book from Open Court Publishing Company, but not yet published is Jared Lobdell's The World of the Rings: Language, Religion and Adventure in Tolkien (ISBN 081269533X $22.95 trade paperback). It is apparently a revised version of Lobdell's 1981 book England and Always: Tolkien's World of the Rings.
In April Ignatius Press reissued the 1984 book by Richard Purtill, J. R. R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality, and Religion (ISBN 0898709482 $12.95 trade paperback). It is apparently unchanged from the earlier edition, but it has a new preface by Joseph Pearce.
And then in May came TheOneRing.net's own People's Guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, edited by Tehanu, with contributions by Anwyn, Quickbeam, Ostadan, Tehanu, and myself. It's published by Open Road (ISBN 1-892975-90-4 $16.95). More information can be found here.
Apparently just released (though announced for June) is J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography, by Leslie Ellen Jones, published by Greenwood Press (ISBN 0313323402 $49.95).
July brings, from William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, The Battle for Middle Earth [sic]: Tolkien's Divine Design in Lord of the Rings by Fleming Rutledge (ISBN 0802824978 $22.00 paperback).
Coming in August from Open Road is Tolkien in the Land of Heroes: Discovering the Human Spirit by Anne Petty (ISBN 1892975998 $17.95 trade paperback). Again in August, this time from Open Court Publishing Company, is The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy: One Book to Rule Them All, by Gregory Bassham and Eric Bronson (ISBN 0812695453 $17.95 trade paperback).
Also in August, from Ballantine, will be Tales Before Tolkien: The Roots of Modern Fantasy, edited by Douglas A. Anderson (editor of The Annotated Hobbit). This anthology will be published simultaneously in hardcover (ISBN 0345458540 $26.95) and in trade paperback (ISBN 0345458559 $13.95). For more information, see this article.
Again in August, and again from Ballantine, is a reissue of Paul H. Kocher's Master of Middle-earth, which was first-published in 1972. It is of course outdated, but it remains a good study of Tolkien (ISBN 0345465601 $12.95 trade paperback).
Also coming in August, but in England only, is a reprint of Lin Carter's 1969 Tolkien: A Look Behind "The Lord of the Rings". This book is inaccurate, and was not very good on publication over thirty years ago. It should have remained buried. How appropriate, then, to see that on the cover at Amazon.co.uk the subject's name is misspelled "Tolkein"! Gollancz is the publisher committing this crime (ISBN 0575075481 �6.99).
Also in September, coming from Ballantine, is a hardcover edition of Robert Foster's Complete Guide to Middle-earth (ISBN 0345465296 $24.95).
In October, and published by HarperCollins in England only, there will be a hardcover edition of Foster's Complete Guide to Middle-earth, but illustrated throughout by Ted Nasmith! This sounds highly interesting (ISBN 0007169426 �30.00)!
As regards other Tolkien-related merchandizing, I can only hope that the rumors I've heard about a special edition Ken and Barbie set, with the dolls dressed up in the coronation garb of Aragorn and Arwen, are not true. Egad!

Theatre Review: 'Nuncrackers – The Nunsense Christmas Musical' at O'Connell & Company
By Buffalo Theatre Guide on December 3, 2018
The cast of "Nucrackers" at O'Connell & Company.
Pre-holiday stresses got you down? Let the Little Sisters of Hoboken cheer you up and chase the Grinch from your holiday spirit.
Make time to see 'Nuncrackers: The Nunsense Christmas Musical 'on stage at O'Connell & Company now through December 23. Yes, it's another iteration of Dan Goggin's Nunsense franchise (the third out of six sequels) with your favorite fun-loving sisters, this time producing their own cable TV Christmas special. Move over Charlie Brown Christmas, those Andy Williams' Christmas specials from the 1960s, and the 24-hour marathon of "The Christmas Story:" this Christmas special has plenty of songs, dance, comedy, skits, and a special cameo visit from everyone's favorite nun-puppet St. Mary Annette.
Get thyself to O'Connell & Company and remember that your true intention should be to sit back, relax, and just let the laughter happen.
If you don't remember when Sunday night TV watching meant "The Ed Sullivan Show," you won't get why an old-fashioned variety show is rich with appealing moments. But for those of us who learned to love the planned disconnect between a country music singer (yes, with yodeling), some slap-stick comedy sketches, a dance troupe, and a cooking segment, "Nuncrackers" will take you back to this sweet and simple evenings with "all smiles and no frowns," just like Mother Superior Sister Mary Regina says.
The show begins with some tunes from the Sisters and some selections by the students of their school, Mt. St. Helen. There's a Secret Santa gift offering (hint: if one of the Sisters hands you a Secret Santa coupon during the pre-show mingle, take it. Trust me. I scored a St. Anthony medal. Sister Mary Regina reminisces about "A Carnival Christmas" from her secular youth. While the order's cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, makes an emergency trip to police headquarters, Father Virgil takes over her cooking segment and takes a few nips of the fruitcake rum. There's an audience participation sing-along, a plea for vocations (the Sisters haven't replaced all of the 52 Sisters who passed to their eternal reward in the first Nunsense show), and a segment about the Catholic Home Shopping networks commercials. You get the picture.
Where Goggin's plot is Hallmark-movie thin, ("Sisters, let's put on a show on cable TV"), it's the cast – this cast – that makes it all sparkle like twinkle lights on tinsel.
Susanna Breese is charming as Sister Mary Paul, otherwise known as Amnesia, the sister whose memory vanished when a crucifix conked her wimple-clad noggin. Mary Moebius is Sister Leo who wants to fulfill her childhood dream of being a ballerina (nun-erina?) only to suffer a minor injury minutes before her first on-camera pirouette. Ann Mosner is the cut up Sister Robert Ann, jumping all over the stage in hightop sneakers with lots Brooklyn bravado. Michael Starczynski is Father Virgil, the Friar with a sense of humor and a taste for spirits. Mary Craig is (almost) all business as Sister Hubert, mistress of novices and the second in command. And then there's Mary Kate O'Connell in her signature role as Mother Superior Sister Mary Regina, complete with a clicker and a cheerfully firm reminder to the cast to have "good attitudes everyone."
The real stars in this show are the students under the Sisters' careful tutelage at Mt. St. Helen School. Lily Flammer, Jack Flammer, Alejandro Perez, and Mira Haley Steuer have credited roles as they lead two alternating teams of ensemble castmates. The kids are in almost every scene, from the pre-show carol-fest warm up to the grand finale. They sing, dance, and throw lines like pros. What I like best is that these kids are real kids, not slicked up pageant kids tossing exaggerated winks at the audience. Director Drew McCabe let their utter adorableness take center stage.
If you're looking for a deeply meaningful night of theatre…well, there are some pretty special moments in Nuncrackers. Starczynski's "The Christmas Box" is a beautiful reminder that Christmas presents are fleeting and the presence of love is the real gift. Mosner's "Jesus Was Born in Brooklyn" is not the comedic story the title suggests: it's a rite of passage story-song about a young girl's troubled family. If this particular song – with its soft lyrics and lovely story – is perfectly suited to her character's tender side, Mosner really sells it a few tunes later in "All I Want for Christmas…" ("…is a one-night stand at Carnegie Hall") with a melody and arrangement that's a better match for her natural voice. Some of the bits are showing their age (this show was written almost 20 year ago), with reference to vintage work-out videos, an on-stage appearance of a salad shooter, even the idea of cable-access TV. But even the passage of time can't make the Village People-esque song "In the Convent" (yup, you're humming that now in your head, aren't you?) any less hysterical, especially when Mary Craig channels Aretha for a chorus of C-O-N-V-E-N-T.
So leave the serious theatre in the room where it happens where it's quiet uptown. Get thyself to O'Connell & Company and remember that your true intention should be to sit back, relax, and just let the laughter happen. And keep your feet on the floor (Sister Mary Regina will call you out if your legs are crossed), and banish your impure thoughts.
"Nuncrackers: The Christmas Musical" is a fast moving 90-minutes with one intercession, I mean 15 minute-intermission, now through December 23. For more information, click here.

Vito Schnabel Wiki Biography
Vito Schnabel was born on 27 July 1986, in New York City, USA, and is an art dealer and curator, although perhaps best known for being the child of filmmaker and painter Julian Schnabel. He is also known for his curating work, responsible for giving recognition to a variety of artists in the New York art scene. His efforts have helped raise his net worth to where it is now.
How rich is Vito Schnabel? As of early-2016, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $10 million, mostly acquired through a successful career in the art world. He continues to curate and create shows, earning from his art deals, and all of this ensures the steady rise of his wealth.
Vito Schnabel Net Worth $10 Million
Vito started his first exhibition at a young age, having done this type of work since he was 16. Since then, he's curated shows in locations all over the world, including Switzerland, Venice, and New York. His first exhibition featured artists who knew and visited his family, including Luigi Ontani, Herbie Fletcher and Lola Schnabel. Since then, he would gain significant recognition for revitalizing artist's careers and showcasing exhibits in non-traditional spaces like offices, fields and gardens. Vito's approach in showing the variations of all artists received great reviews from critics, and also showed his wide interest in art.
Vito continued to receive recognition for various publications like the Artforum, Interview Magazine and The New York Times, and has continued to arrange notable exhibitions such as a painting display entitled "Flowers For Baudelaire" which is from artist Terence Koh. Schnabel was also responsible for Sothebys first exhibition entitled "These Days".
In 2013, Vito opened his own showroom in West Village, where he exhibits, hosts and works. During 2014, Vito did the last exhibition of the "Brucennial" which was showcased every two years and started during 2008 – the exhibition featured around 600 female artists. In 2015, he worked on a display for an exhibition of paintings by Ron Gorchov, and then organised a show at an historical site entitled "First Show/Last Show", and featured works from Jeff Elrod, Marj Grotjahn and Harmony Korine.
For some of his latest work, Schnabel opened The Vito Schnabel Gallery in St. Moritz, the first permanent one in the area. The first exhibition at the location was "Bruno & Yoyo" by Urs Fischer. He then arranged an art installation entitled "STOVES" which was from artist Sterling Ruby – the installation remained in an offsite location until around March 2016. Since Vito's rise in popularity, his net worth has steadily increased and he's even curated more traditional shows, comparable to many larger institutions.
For his personal life, it is known that he has been dating model and host Heidi Klum since 2014. Interestingly, Vito has been linked to other actresses and celebrities who are much older than him, including Demi Moore and Elle Macpherson. According to Schnabel, many of the artworks and artists he chooses are due to a very personal taste. Most of the artists that he features are either people that come to him.
