Indo Count captures the essence of motherhood in a campaign that celebrates the eternal champion of children, the Mother!
Mumbai, May 2022: At no point in a mother's life is a time when she stops being one. Even if your child is 50-years-old, she will continue being a mother to them. The limitless affection, care and worry that never stops are celebrated in the Mother's Day campaign by Indo Count.
Indo Count is one of India's largest textile manufacturers with a massive presence in the bed linen category. Boutique Living is its premium bed linen brand, and Layers is focused on the classic sector. Both brands deliver a high-quality product that is built around softness, comfort, great design and aesthetics.
The films for both Boutique Living and Layers are centred on how mothers are intrinsic to our lives, whether we notice them or not. They remain in the background and come to our rescue before we even realize it. This is a ubiquitous fact that is true for any culture or community in the world.
"When it comes to bedding, subconsciously the choice comes from our mothers. While we believe it to be a direct choice we can't deny that we are influenced by her taste. In this matter, our growth, upbringing and preferences are guided by the connection in our minds between comfort and our mother's love. This is a subtle connection, but one that we cannot deny. I think the films capture that elegantly", says Rajiv Merchant, President, (Domestic Retail), Indo Count.
"We didn't want to create just another Mother's Day film, it had to be a universal truth and it had be intrinsic to our brand", said Renu Somani, Executive Creative Director, thought blurb communications. "Which is why we speak for the mother who loses sleep over the wellbeing of her child, whether the child knows it or not and she is always there ready to comfort us when we need her the most. In fact, a mother's lap is perhaps the safest place to seek refuge from the world."
"The insight that really got us going was that mothers are always worrying about their children. And no matter what we do, the worry never stops. That and the fact that the most secure, the most reassuring times are when we are around our mother; in fact our mother's lap is the most comforting place in the world. That was something we wanted to capture." says Israa Khan, Associate Vice President , thought blurb communications.
The two films in this series were released on digital media and social media platforms on Mother's Day. The films may be topical, but the messaging is all-encompassing and relevant long after Mother's Day has passed.

Geometrical rules, axioms, methods, and carefully thought out plans enter the world on many levels. The geometrical method lends much to the imaginative and creative faculties of people, and has provided a sustained interest and impetus for me in particular. Many of the elements, straight lines, arcs, elliptical sections, parabolas, hyperbolas, epicycloids, and spirals, accelerate the speed of the viewer's eye through the picture, thus spatial experience is altered in time. Color vibration heightens the speed and expanse for the viewer to complete the picture plane. Within the constraints of geometric mechanics, I have built through the intersection of geometric systems, a way of representing the dynamics of motion, gravitational attraction, flotation, and corpuscular unity. This provides the viewers with visual instruments which they may consider proportionately in relation to themselves and in the image. In this respect, I look to this pictorial vision so that the final result is raised through the perception and understanding of the viewer. An image mathematically abstract in origin and represented as nonobjective in context will change experientially through the picture plane, enabling the viewers' apperception and organization of mind set.

Director's Cut: EU risks US tariff pain in standing by the WTO
As global trade war continues to unfold, Bruegel director Guntram Wolff is joined for this Director's Cut of 'The Sound of Economics' podcast by Bernd Lange MEP, chair of the Committee on International Trade (INTA), to discuss Europe's options.
By: The Sound of Economics Date: April 18, 2018 Topic: European Macroeconomics & Governance
Increasingly it appears that the EU will have to choose between standing strong with the established laws of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), or striking a deal for a permanent reprieve from the US trade tariffs.
There is no question that the tariffs have significant implications for European industry. Indeed, as the US and China brandish lists of further products on which they would consider imposing tariffs, the full scale of the potential future damage to EU exporters is unclear. Yet there remains some hope that the EU could align with other nations to use the WTO to bring US President Trump back on side.
To discuss what opportunities as well as threats this current stand-off presents to the EU, Bernd Lange – member of the European Parliament and chair of the Committee on International Trade (INTA) – joins Bruegel director Guntram Wolff in this instalment of 'The Sound of Economics'.

Summary: This legislative proposal from the Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee would provide for new discovery provisions for general civil cases, setting up three civil case tiers based on the complexity of the case, with each tier having different discovery requirements and limitations. The goal of the proposal is to make discovery more proportional to the value and nature of claims in a case. The proposal is based on the recommendations of the Commission on the Future of California's Court System.
Deadline to Submit comments: Friday, October 19 at 5:00 pm.
Summary: The Judicial Branch Budget Committee proposes amending rule 3.670(k)(1) of the California Rules of Court to increase the fee to appear by telephone in civil cases from $86 to $94, effective January 1, 2019. The new fee will apply to the balance of the four-year term of the master agreement for telephone appearance services that was recently entered into with CourtCall LLC. The fee increase reflects the estimated increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the term of the agreement.
Deadline to Submit comments: Monday, October 15 at 5:00 pm.

Having Font Problems with your Mac or Apps???
This is a HUGE article I found on the Apple Discussions Forum.
This guy must live and breath Fonts.
No he doesn't breathe fonts. He just works in an environment like I do where knowledge of fonts and how they interact with the rest of the system, applications, etc can help solve many problems.
I actually have written an app that will remove all fonts from your system that OS X doesn't need for my company. It saves time and money rather than going through a list as this guy does!
I deal with Font Problems day in and out. This will definitely help!
Sorry jubilee... I must have sounded unappreciative in my last post... This really is a good tip!! :oops: Thanks a bunch... this is a really intuitive document!
Can you put that app on your website?
If you give me a few weeks I can probably have something up though!

Street Corner Soapbox: State Budget
Budget cuts, loop holes, and taxation. What's Pennsylvania's future?
by Jay Stevens
View ProfileFacebookTwitterGoogle+RSS Feed
aconaway
In my recent story on the Erie School District budget woes, I made a claim that the means to fully fund education existed, but that Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett declined to appropriate the revenue for political reasons.
One of the places Corbett could have gotten revenue is from the fracking industry, which essentially operated unregulated and untaxed -- until this spring, after the Pennsylvania Assembly passed a fracking bill that allows counties to levy an "impact fee" on drilling within their borders. The bill has many problems -- including an Orwellian physician "gag rule," which prohibits healthcare providers from disclosing to their patients that an illness may be related to fracking chemicals, and a low tax rate relative to other gas-producing states -- but the worst may be the provision preventing counties that opt for the impact fee to zone where drilling takes place.
That is, the bill bribes counties to allow the fracking industry to drill wherever they want. We all know the counties will take the money because of the massive cuts made by fracking friend, Gov. Corbett, to local school budgets.
But there are other revenue sources available, too. Better Choices for Pennsylvania, a coalition advocating for smarter state budget policy, published a list of tax loopholes that, if closed, could on their own provide more than enough revenue to adequately fund education in the state.
Among the list of loopholes that could be closed, include the "Delaware loophole," a tax law that allows franchises or outlets of major retail corporations to deduct "royalty payments" to out-of-state holding companies as a business expense. But basically, the stores send the money to a post-office box in Delaware, which is then siphoned back into the parent company -- not unlike a legal money laundering operation.
Other states have closed the loophole, requiring that royalty payments must be made to actual operating companies. If Pennsylvania followed suit, it could raise as much as $500 million in taxes.
Pennsylvania could also impose a tax on smokeless tobacco and cigars -- a portion of the tobacco industry that dodged taxation several years ago. Extending the cigarette tax to chewing tobacco and cigars could raise as much as $50 million in taxes. Smokeless tobacco was spared because of political considerations, but a tax would not only raise revenue but might serve as a disincentive to Pennsylvanians to give up (or better, never start) their tobacco habit.
Better Choices for Pennsylvania lists more sources for potential revenue, none of which would impact middle-class Pennsylvanians or the state's small businesses. Most of the suggestions simply follow policies enacted successfully in other states. In short, they'd have little impact on the economy of the state.
But don't hold your breath. Based on the composition of the fracking bill, neither the governor nor the state assembly seems interested in fixing an unjust tax system that lets large corporations exploit a labyrinthine tax code, while burdening everyday Pennsylvanians and small businesses do more than their share of heavy lifting. Maybe that's because corporate donations to GOP campaigns unduly influence politicians. Or maybe it's because conservatives really believe that unburdening huge corporations from their civic responsibilities benefits local communities somehow. Or maybe because real reform involves too much work.
Whatever the reason, unless the political climate in Harrisburg changes, look for the state government to continue its policy of slashing education and other essential services.

The great Thakadu blow up!
FINALLY, WE DID IT! It only took 3 years to finally do our first experimental burn at Thakadu Game Farm. Photo by Emree Weaver.
Thomas and Thoralf took the lead in conducting this exercise. It had already started in January, when Thoralf and Laurie, the Thakadu Farm Manager, talked about potentially burning the coming summer. In fact the talks started 2 years earlier and we set up a bunch of control plots in the SW corner of the farm. Due to a combination of low rainfall and overgrazing of the area, the grass biomass was never high enough to light up the area. So, by the beginning of the year we changed the approach and identified a different area with adequate grass biomass. However, new plots needed to be set up and surveyed and firebreaks needed to be graded. While grading the firebreaks didn't prove to be difficult, surveying 12 vegetation plots in 3 days proved to be quite a mission. We set up a total of 9 plots to be burned and 3 control plots, just on the other side of the cutline. All plots were assessed for vegetation structure, cover and total standing biomass. T & T also wanted to set up some temperature measurement stations. This proved to be even more complicated. We decided to set up two high accuracy measurement stations, where temperatures would be measured at 5 different heights (ground level to 2 m). With help from our mechanic in Maun, we designed the station in a fashion that they can be reused. The actual temperature sensor was a k-type thermocouple attached to a data logger. However, a lot of beverage was consumed over the thought of how to protect the actual data logger. The technical specs said "avoid temperatures in access of 40 degree Celsius". Oops, these things need to go into a fire. However, we finally decided to get some small boxes made by the infamous 'tin man' of Maun. The box was filled with sand the logger place inside a Ziplog bag and then covered with sand. As a last layer of protection, we wetted the sand with water and closed the box. It works! Every single one of our ten loggers survived the fire and recorded the temperature accordingly. Earlier in the year, Thoralf came across some literature where flame temperatures were measured using some sort of a lacquer. This approach is not as accurate as the previous one but way cheaper. We had difficulties organizing this lacquer, even in South Africa, and it couldn't be brought in on a plane, so we needed another idea.
The welding industry sometimes uses sticks similar to a piece of chalk to determine the correct temperature of a certain alloy. So we ordered a bunch of these sticks for various melting temperatures before leaving the US. However, they didn't arrive on time, so they had to be mailed to Botswana where off course they got stuck at customs because nobody knew what that stuff is. After we finally got our hands on the sticks we quickly figured out that the chalk like pens DO NOT leave a mark. Big matata. It was challenging to ensure that the substance is exposed to flames, without getting blown away by the wind and to ensure we had an adequate number of measurements at multiple heights for multiple stations. Let's just say we got a bit crafty at this point and designed an additional five stations. Check out the photos.
We recruited a bunch of volunteers from MODISA, in order to secure and monitor the firebreaks and on the 1st of August we lit the whole lot up!

Due to the unequal distribution of (grass) biomass the area showed different degrees of damage
after the fire. Here we are downloading the temperature data, approx. 30 min after the burn.

On of our analog temperature stations, these are the disks from the lowest level indicating
temperatures of over 400 degrees celcius.
The temperatures reached during the fire decreases with height. Here is the 'reading' from 1 meters
showing the first two disks have melted (temp > 100 deg. celsius), while the second set is uneffected
(temp < 150deg. Celcius).

Home/Entertainment News/"The Masked Singer" Says Goodbye to The Black Widow & The Penguin
"The Masked Singer" Says Goodbye to The Black Widow & The Penguin
After a two-week hiatus, <i>The Masked Singer</i> returned Wednesday with 11 masked celebs performing in what was essentially two weeks worth of show. In the first half, judges Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy watched performances from The Rottweiler, The Ladybug, The Tree, The Penguin, The Flower and The Fox. The Tree gave such a good performance of Aretha Franklin's "Truth" that some of the judges believe she might be a professional singer. Once the audience weighed in, The Penguin was selected to be unmasked after her performance of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass," and turned out to be comedian Sherri Shepherd. After pulling off her mask, the excited comic said "Jenny knows me so well… we've walked around naked together." In the show's second half, The Black Widow, Thingamajig, The Butterfly, The Leopard and The Flamingo faced off. The Fox's performance of "Hey Look Ma, I Made It" by Panic! At the Disco was the highlight of the segment. Finally, the audience voted The Black Widow off after her version of Cher's "Believe." Underneath the mask was TV star Raven-Symone, who laughed as she told the judges, "When you guys called me a professional singer, I peed my pants, so thank you very much."

Q: add catalog item and category to purchase via transactions api Im using payment form and square transaction api to retrieve payment but it's showing up uncategorized in square dashboard. Is there an easy way to add the catalog item to the transaction api code i've already written?
can i simply add the link to the new order item under the request_body array?
$request_body = array (
 "card_nonce" => $nonce,

)

$txRequest['item_id'] = "my item id";

If anyone has a tutorial that would be much appreciated.

A: I figured it out.
I had to create and Order with the orders api, then pass the order_id to the charge code. In php it looks like this.
.......create order here using orders api(code not shown)......

...pass order_id to charge(in php)...
    mix of variables for nonce, etc...
............

$request_body = array (
 "card_nonce" => $nonce,
  "buyer_email_address" => $be,
  "note" => "online Laser Tag reservation",

   "amount_money" => array (
  "amount" => $totalCost,
  "currency" => "USD")

  "order_id" => $my_order_id,

   "idempotency_key" => uniqid()

};

...try/catch statements...

A: You'll want to use CreateOrder to create an order of items. Then you can pass in the order_id to the Transactions API (what you will use after the payment form to call the Charge endpoint). See here: https://docs.connect.squareup.com/payments/transactions/cookbook/itemize-transactions

Associations' relationships with meeting vendors have shifted in recent years. Check out a few highlights from the back catalog.
By Ernie Smith May 31, 2022
Whether they're exhibiting their products and services on the tradeshow floor, lending a helping hand in executing the event, or sponsoring what's happening on stage, vendors play a key part in the event ecosystem.
The problem is, that ecosystem has been a little challenging of late, in part because of the shift to virtual and then hybrid events, which has changed the value equation a bit.
So if you're among the associations looking for ideas on how to evolve your approach to meeting vendors and exhibitors, take in a few in the Associations Now and ASAECenter.org archives:
Create More Value for Your Virtual Sponsors and Exhibitors. This piece, featuring an interview with Lewis Flax of Flax Associates, highlights the shifts that associations have had to make to ensure value in the virtual environment—value that doesn't work in quite the way it used to. "The ones who are ahead of the game are the associations who try new things, who test new things, who look at how we're going to go about it differently," Flax said.
How to Talk With Vendors About Environmental Goals. Sometimes, your relationship with vendors is about getting them on the same page as you. This piece highlights industry initiatives that can help ensure that everyone stays focused on sustainability. "Event organizers, supplier partners, education providers, and participants all have roles to play in achieving the sustainability goals for an event," said Mariela McIlwraith, CMP, CMM, MBA, the Events Industry Council's vice president for sustainability.
Let's Rethink the Virtual Exhibit Hall. Near the end of 2020, a number of vendors got together in a hackathon-style event to discuss the challenges the sector faces in the wave of virtual events. Matthew Homann, founder and CEO of Filament LLC, said that those who took part saw the situation as an opportunity: "What if instead, you start to think about, what can we do virtually that we can't possibly imagine doing in person?" This piece summarizes some of the things they learned.
Virtual Tech Showcase Proves Successful Alternative to Virtual Exhibit Hall. Last year, the AABC Commissioning Group faced a challenge: How could the organization's CxEnergy 2021 Virtual Conference keep the energy of a live event? The simple answer: Treat it like a tech showcase. This piece from AABC's Anna Kosova, CAE, and Sam Schwarz breaks down what the organizers learned in putting on an event as a series of live demos. "After a year of socially distanced shows, exhibitors know the virtual engagement rate just isn't the same as an onsite event," they wrote. "The showcase format gave exhibitors 20 minutes of attendee attention to demonstrate their technology and answer questions."
The Benefits of an Exhibitor Engagement Strategy. Instead of just hoping for good engagement with its exhibitors, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers tried a different approach—it created a whole department for them. "We really want to be that one-stop shop for exhibitors," AEM's Mary Bukovic said. "Whatever their needs are, our resources are there to help them get the greatest possible ROI in our shows and provide the service levels they expect when they call or email AEM."

That's cool,I reported the picture too.

Sportytrace, our thoughts are with you, on such a tragedy. This should be a giant wake up call to those who don't believe that global warming/climate changes are responsible. Unfortunately, this will happen more often as each year passes.
Sadly, a recent poll I posted about Earth Hour and whether anyone cares to make a stand shows that just over 66% of our polled riders don't care about this problem. I am one of the few (28%) who do.
Hang on, this used to be called the 'Official XL Forum Random Image Thread (renamed)', but it's been renamed.

Sorry chaps, I don't have any more info on the bike. The photo came from the UKBEG website, it was the only photo of that bike, and not very clear, as you can see (or rather, as you can't see). The exhaust headers appear to be replicas of the Britten pipes, especially given the colour of them. I suspect they're stock heads with dummy twin ports, but I may be wrong.

In West Berlin at the height of the Cold War, British spy Eberlin (Laurence Harvey) is tasked with the dangerous assignment of finding and assassinating the treacherous KGB agent Krasnevin, who has killed many undercover British agents. He's given a new partner, Gatiss (Tom Courtenay), to help eliminate the deadly Russian. What neither his bosses nor his partner know, however, is that Eberlin himself is Krasnevin, a double agent whose secret identity his Moscow bosses don't want compromised. The British and Soviet intelligence services attempt to out-fox one another using the homesick double-agent Krasnevin as pawn in this complex spy-game.
Viewer Review: "This is another excellent performance by Laurence Harvey. The spy stuff and his relationship with the character played by Tom Courtenay are interesting. Also interesting is the young Peter Cook in a "non-comical" role ( well sort of). Harvey brings such an air of sadness and despair to this kind of role. In this movie, the life and emotion is drained out of him to create the perfect double agent. This kind of film was popular in the 60's as an antidote to James Bond and his clones. The great Anthony Mann started this film and was replaced by Harvey when Mann died. Definitely worth a look."

The Faculty Handbook provides the University of New Mexico (UNM) faculty with a written record of faculty policies and procedures. Policies in the Faculty Handbook are unifying documents that describe academic principles, the reasoning behind the principles, and institutional procedures necessary for implementation. Faculty Handbook policies contain governing principles and procedures that mandate or constrain actions and apply to UNM faculty; therefore, the development of policies requires input from faculty members who have extensive knowledge on the subject matter and review by faculty members from a variety of academic disciplines at UNM.
This manual is a source of information to be used along with the Board of Regents' Policy Manual, the University Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual, the University Catalog, and the Pathfinder. The Board of Regents' Policy Manual shall be controlling in any matters in which there is an inconsistency between the Faculty Handbook and the Board of Regents' Policy Manual.
All UNM policies which pertain primarily to faculty and academic matters are placed in the Faculty Handbook. The scope of Faculty Handbook policies is established by the "Faculty Constitution" and the right to review and take action on these policies is granted to the faculty by UNM Board of Regents Policy 5.1 "The Faculty's Role in the University's Academic Mission." The Faculty Handbook shall be controlling in any faculty and academic matters in which there is an inconsistency between the Faculty Handbook and the University Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual, the University Catalog, or the Pathfinder. It is not the purpose of the Faculty Handbook to serve as a manual of school/college and departmental policies or procedures; however, the Faculty Handbook shall be controlling in all matters in which there is inconsistency.
Each item in the Faculty Handbook is separated as either policy or information. Please note this distinction. It is also important to note that those items designated as policy are only those policies under the purview of faculty. Some informational items may actually be UNM policy but are not under the purview of faculty so are provided as information for the purposes of this document.
The policies set forth in this Handbook are subject to revision at any time. Any faculty member wishing to propose a change to an existing Faculty Handbook policy or propose a new policy should send their request to the Office of the University Secretary.

Home / Blog / Is Couth a Word?
Have you ever used the word couth? It wasn't long ago that the word was unrecognized by dictionaries — what most people mean when they say a word doesn't exist (which is odd, because if you can say it and spell it, and if it means something to at least one person, it certainly exists, right?).
It's in most dictionaries now though, and it means just what you'd think: the opposite of uncouth. It means classy; cultured, civilized, genteel.
What's interesting is that people were right — sort of. Uncouth did come from adding un- to couth. But it was a different couth. Bear with me.
Couth is an Old English word for known or familiar. If someone new came to dinner, he would be described as uncouth. Originally, this did not necessarily carry any negative connotations. But foreigners who weren't familiar with local customs would so often appear crass or uncivilized that in time uncouth came to be equated more with uncultured behavior than with the unfamiliarity of the visitor. For whatever reason, uncouth in this sense survived the centuries, while its base word meaning familiar passed into oblivion.
So, one kind of couth produced the uncouth of today, which has only recently produced a quite different couth. This process of coining a word out of a mistaken assumption about an existing word's origin is known as back-formation and it's fairly common.
According to David Feldman's book, Who Put the Butter in Butterfly?, that's how we got the word burgle. People mistakenly assumed that burglar is someone who engages in burgling (Tolkien engages in this kind of wordplay in The Hobbit). But it's not so. The noun existed long before the verb form. The first known use of burglar was in 1541, while burgle was first used around 1870.
Appreciate this! When I was younger we definitely made the sorts of comments about couth that you mention.
Thank you! I wasn't sure couth was a word, and even here when I wrote it, the program changed it to "cough." Your explanation was enjoyable and informative. I'm a counselor, and have need of more precise language than the words often in common usage. This is very helpful. Thank you again!
About 15 years ago, when I was looking for a name for my company, I came across the word "couth" and that "uncouth" is more commonly used while the base word seem to have passed into oblivion. I named my company CouthIT — a humble effort to bring back the beautiful base word back into circulation.

Lincoln Gap Windfarm, Port Augusta
End of 2018
Estimated Investment
Nexif Energy
Senvion Wind Energy Solutions

Construction of the wind farm is expected to be carried out in 12 to 18 months. Credit: Nexif Energy.
The power generated by the windfarm will be transmitted via a 275kV grid line managed by ElectraNet. Credit: Stephen Edmonds.
Lincoln Gap windfarm is a 212MW project being developed by Nexif Energy Australia, approximately 15km west of Port Augusta, South Australia.
Early development works on the project were taken up by Wind Energy Solutions in 2004. The environmental impact statement was submitted in 2005 and the project was granted approval in 2006.
Wind Energy Solutions sold the windfarm to One Wind Australia in 2013. Nexif took over the management of the project from One Wind in November 2015 and submitted a modified proposal with detailed designs, which was approved in 2017.
Nexif signed two large-scale generation certificate (LGC) contracts with ERM Power in May 2017 and a final investment decision was taken during the same year. The project is estimated to cost $450m.
The installation activities for the project are expected to take between 12 and 18 months, while completion is scheduled for the end of 2018 and commissioning is expected in the first quarter of 2019.
The windfarm is expected to operate for more than 25 years and provide power to approximately 155,000 households. It will also help in reducing more than 6Mt of carbon emissions a year and generate between 110 and 130 jobs.
Lincoln Gap plant make-up
The Lincoln Gap windfarm is located in an ideal location far from residential areas. The site is known to have an excellent wind source and easy access to the grid.
The windfarm will be installed with 59 Senvion 3.6M140 Eco Blade Control (EBC) turbines in two phases. The first phase will include the installation of 35 turbines, which will deliver 126MW of power, while the second phase will install 24 turbines that will deliver 86MW.
The windfarm will also feature a 10MW battery storage facility, which is upgradeable to 30MW in the future, to achieve grid stability and reliability.
The windfarm is expected to export approximately 800,000MWh a year.
Turbine details
The 3.6M140 EBC turbine is a successor of the 3.4M140 EBC and is suitable for sites having low to medium wind speeds. It has a nominal capacity of 3,600kW and can be operated in temperatures ranging from -20oC to 35oC. The hub height of the turbines ranges from 80m-160m, while the rotor diameter is 140m.
The rotor blades are aerodynamically designed and the drive train is compact and efficient, enabling the turbine to deliver high energy yields, while retaining low noise levels (up to 104db in all modes of operations).
"The windfarm is expected to operate for more than 25 years and provide power to approximately 155,000 households."
The turbine features the EBC platform, which includes lightweight construction of the blades using Senvion's Rodpack technology. The EBC platform is highly dependable, durable, and ideal for low-wind sites.
Power transmission and off-take agreements
Nexif Energy signed a transmission connection agreement with ElectraNet in September 2016. The generated power will be transmitted to a 275kV grid line located south of the Lincoln Gap Windfarm, as per the agreement.
Nexif also signed a long-term offtake arrangement with Snowy Hydro.
Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) is providing A$150m ($115m) for the construction of the first stage of the windfarm, while Investec is providing working capital facilities totalling A$39m ($30m).
Contractors involved
In September 2016, Nexif Energy signed an engineering, procurement and construction contract with Senvion to build the windfarm.
The scope of work also includes the supply of Senvion 3.6M140 EBC turbines.

Are you a specialist or a generalist? How you answer that question will determine how you should be marketing your business.
Every business has a specialty – the product or service for which it hangs its hat. This is what gets pushed in your marketing efforts. Many startups begin as niche businesses, with one product or service that meets a need. As businesses age, there is often a lure to expand products and services to reach a broader base of customers. And when that happens, invariably someone wants to change the logo to reflect the new services. Good and fine. Adding a new line or expanding services is a suitable time for a new look. However, oftentimes there is a suggestion to keep the old logo to service the original niche and create a second logo to market the expanded services. This may seem like a logical, best-of-both-worlds solution, but it is often a very bad decision when you are talking about brand development and recognition. What it creates is brand confusion. The customer sees logo number one, then sees logo number two and then walks away not knowing that one is related to the other.
Can dual branding work? Yes, if you have two or more products that need to be very distinct from each other but are in the same general category. For instance, if you are producing bottled beverages and you have a line of bottled water, fruit juice, energy drinks and iced tea, you would want a distinct brand for each of them. It only makes sense to give each product its own distinct brand that is different from the rest. However, you would want the logo for your company to be consistent, not changing it for each line of drinks. In this case, the company logo is the brand and each beverage is a sub-brand. Sub-branding works if you have product or service lines that are all in the same direction. But let's say your beverage company wants to get into a totally different line of work – like real estate sales. Now your customers are totally confused. Are you selling something to drink or somewhere to build a house under the same logo? In that case, the real estate company needs to have a totally different brand from the beverage company.
Branding is about simplicity of thought. I want customers to recognize your logo at a glance and associate it with your specialty, not two or three different ideas. If you are marketing a niche business that sells one service or product line, creating a brand around your company name makes sense. The company and the product/service should be seen as the same. If you are working in a generalist business – a company that is selling a bevy of products and services to be a one-stop-shop – try sub-branding the name of your company with your product lines. Effective generalist marketing would include corporations like FedEx (FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Office), carmakers like Ford (Ford Fusion, Ford F-150, Ford Service), food producers (Pillsbury Grands Biscuits, Pillsbury Pie Crusts, Pillsbury Pancake Batter), etc. Sub-branding is a good way to diversify your product and service offerings without losing your company brand to the product.
Take a step back and examine your product and service offerings. Are you a specialist or a generalist? Your direction in branding should trend one way or the other.

Pluto's atmosphere gets its blue haze from icy organic compounds, study suggests
By Charles Q. Choi published 19 January 21
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured this image of the blue haze around the dwarf planet Pluto during its historic flyby in 2015. (Image credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SWRI/SPL)
The haze shrouding Pluto might be made up of ice crystals possessing cyanide hearts, a new study finds.
Hazes, which are made of tiny motes of dust, smoke, ice and other substances, are not unique to Earth — scientists have detected hazes enveloping Mars, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter.
Nor are hazes limited to planets. Saturn's largest moon Titan, the only moon known to have clouds, is cloaked in a thick orange haze similar in makeup to smog on Earth. NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft also detected haze in the atmosphere of Neptune's largest moon Triton.
Related: Pluto and Titan are surprisingly hazy, but scientists are fuzzy on exactly why
NASA's New Horizons mission, which flew by Pluto in 2015, unexpectedly revealed Pluto also possesses haze hugging the dwarf planet's frozen surface. Since Pluto, Titan and Triton are all icy worlds with atmospheres rich in nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide, researchers had thought they might all possess similar kinds of hazes.
Previous research found Titan's haze was the result of solar ultraviolet rays triggering chemical reactions in the icy moon's upper atmosphere. These created simple organic compounds that went on to help form ever larger and more complex organic molecules.
However, scientists now find the hazes on Pluto and Triton might have significantly different origins than Titan's.
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft captured dark streaks produced by geysers visible on the icy surface of Triton's south polar region. (Image credit: NASA/JPL)
"Although Titan and Pluto seem very similar, their haze properties can be drastically different," study lead author, Panayotis Lavvas, a planetary scientist at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in Reims, France, told Space.com.
When the researchers analyzed computer models of haze formation, they discovered that if the same chemical reactions at work on Titan happened on Pluto, they could only create about half the haze particles that prior work detected on the dwarf planet. (Since Pluto's atmosphere is roughly 175 degrees Fahrenheit, or 80 degrees Celsius, colder than Titan's, its atmospheric chemistry runs slower.)
In the new study, Lavvas and his colleagues suggest that as on Titan, sunlight triggers chemical reactions in Pluto's upper atmosphere, forming simple compounds such as hydrogen cyanide, a molecule made up of one hydrogen, one carbon and one nitrogen atom. Their models suggested hydrogen cyanide might freeze to produce tiny ice particles.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft looks toward the night side of Saturn's largest moon and sees sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan's atmosphere and forming a ring of color. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute)
As these microscopic ice particles settle downward due to gravity, other gases condense around these seeds to coat them. As such, haze particles on Pluto may be largely made of a variety of ices, instead of more complex organic compounds as on Titan. The sizes, amounts and atmospheric distributions of these ice grains in the computer models closely match those of the haze particles detected on Pluto, the scientists noted.
In addition, these ice particles on Pluto should interact less with incoming solar energy than haze particles on Titan, the researchers said. As such, they should play a smaller role in controlling heat in Pluto's atmosphere than previously thought, Lavvas said.
When it comes to Triton, since it possesses an even colder atmosphere than Pluto's, the scientists noted its hazes should prove even icier.
"This comparison of Titan, Pluto and Triton illuminates the important differences in the mechanisms of haze formation in planetary atmospheres," Lavvas said.
The scientists detailed their findings online Dec. 21 in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Shadows by Kristen Proby
Series | Bayou Magic #1
Genres | Paranormal, Mystery and Suspense
Buy | Amazon | Audible | Paperback
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes an all new paranormal romance set in the mystical city of New Orleans…
I am never alone. Not even when I am alone. I see the unquiet dead, the souls that wander through the French Quarter. They can't move on, and I can't stop seeing them. I wear malachite for protection, and I control what I let in. It's the only way to stay sane. Everything changes the day Cassian Winslow joins my ghost walking tour and knocks my world off its axis with green eyes the color of the stone around my neck. An unspeakable evil is loose in New Orleans, taking young women and leaving a bloodbath in his wake. More shadows lurking for me. More unhappy dead. There might be a way to stop it. Open myself up to Cassian. If I do, it could spell his death. But if I don't, it's mine.
Holy moly, what did I just read?! If you're like me and essentially afraid of everything, DO. NOT. READ. THIS. AT. NIGHT!
I have to say, when an author decides to write in a different genre and absolute nails it, you can't help but just rave about it. Kristen Proby absolutely killed it with her first paranormal. And YES, it is 100% a paranormal and I was just not prepared for it.
The romance lover in me will always beg for more, it was a little low in Shadows , but it was completely fitting. And to be honest, if Kristen decided throw in the steamy scenes and then BAM, creepy-spooky scenes. Talk about 180!
Between the setting and the amazing characters, it's easy to get lost in New Orleans among the many unanswered questions we have about the mysteries of this place. I've never been to New Orleans, but there's always a draw when it comes anything paranormal.
I wasn't quite hooked on the relationship between Brielle and Cash, but it didn't stop me from enjoying this story as a whole. I'm so excited for this series! Since Brielle is one of three sisters, I can't wait to learn more about their powers and see where their journey takes us.
About Kristen Proby
Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she's since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Release Day | Love With Me by Kristen Proby


VALLEY VILLAGE, CA – Political asylee, Yanel Valenzuela, visits Friendship Park to see her mother on weekends because she cannot enter the U.S. Valenzuela is not able to return home to Mexico because of her asylum status as a transgender.
The only psychical connection allowed at the park is touching fingertips through the fence. Once a year the park organizes an event called, Door of Hope, to open the border and allow hugging. Border patrol agents carefully select a small number of families to participate. This year Valenzuela was amongst the six families selected.
Valenzuela's brother, Alex Valenzuela says, "I believe this is a better way than a phone call, at least I can see her face to face. It's kind of hard I'm not able to hug her or anything." The first time his two year-old daughter was held by her grandmother was at the Door of Hope event last month.
In recent years the border was completely fenced because of the war on drugs, before families had physical interactions. Law enforcement is not allowed to ask for documentation at the park. Organizations like Undocumented and Unafraid, and Border Angels visit the park in support of immigration. They're able to meet people who have family in Mexico and provide useful information to them.
Around 10,000 people have died while crossing the US-Mexico border since 1994 when Operation Gatekeeper was implemented. Immigration from Mexico has dropped 40% since President Trump has been in office. People from both nations come to Friendship Park to visit their family and friends at the U.S Mexico border.

Goldlink accuses the late Mac Miller of stealing music, gets instantly cyber smacked by Anderson Paak
by Tiffany Simmons
Fans of hip hop all over the world are still mourning and celebrating the life of rapper Mac Miller, over a year after his passing. Miller was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home in September 2018. Cause of death, a lethal cocktail of alcohol, fentanyl, and cocaine.
While fans continue to hold Miller in high esteem, apparently not everyone feels the same. Goldlink Crew, a former friend to Miller, took to Instagram, posting a lengthy note praising and bashing the late rapper.
In the post Goldlink claims he and the late rapper didn't always get along, but that they always supported the other in their musical endeavors. Goldlink writes, "what made you and I so special was that we weren't always on the best of terms."
Goldlink also claimed that Miller may have stolen a record that he played for Miller before his death, a song that is very similar to Miller's, Dang ft. Anderson Paak.
According to Goldlink, pieces of his song we're allegedly taken and used by Miller.
Mac Miller I'd be lying if I said I was surprised to hear that you died on us. Not because you were necessarily troubled, but because you were special and because of that, you were troubled. At your peak, you were the archetypal rapper all of us wanted to be; which was independent. But also just a kid with really bright eyes about life. I'll keep it short because I want to continue our conversation for when it's my time to go. But I think what made you and I special is that we weren't always on the best terms. So I didn't always have great things to say about you. When we were on the GO:OD AM tour, I played you my album "and after that we didn't talk", and you thought it was absolutely incredible. I released it under the"Soulection" label and the single for my album was called "Unique" ft. Anderson Paak, and that was your favorite song at the time. You loved it so much that you made the entire tour party listen to it, and surprised me with a cake after my set. I always thought you drove yourself insane about your own music. So much that, you would adopt styles as homage to those around you that you loved. That's where our problem started. Divine Feminine was an actual blueprint of "and after that we didn't talk". Your single was called "Dang!" Ft. Anderson Paak…you had Souelction support you on the Divine Feminine tour and when I tried to contact you, about anything at all…you never hit me. A close mutual friend ended up just hittin' my DJ saying "listen man, we love Link, but we just had to do what we had to do. And Mac said if he needs a verse at anytime, he got him" We are family, you could always call me. Afterwards, we seen each other at Coachella, and you put your head down like an innocent child, but I told you to pick it up and I hugged you like the brother you are to me. You were the first person brave enough to openly say "he's dope.", and gave me a platform. That meant more to me than anything else. 3 days before you died, I remember pullin up on you at the crib, walking in the house and seeing the Divine Feminine album plaque on the wall. I was so proud of you and what YOU created for yourself. And I'm forever grateful for that
A post shared by GoldLink (@goldlink) on Nov 26, 2019 at 5:22pm PST
The entire ordeal is confusing, with Goldlink ending his post with words of praise for Miller after pointing out the musical copycat.
All this didn't sit well with Anderson Paak. Miller's collaboration partner took little time defending his late friend and their song against Goldlink's allegations. In a now deleted IG post (screen shots below) Paak writes, "If Devine feminine was such a blue print of your record then tell me where the plaques are for whatever your s*** was called!! Mac brought your a** on tour and opened up his fan base to you when you had nothing and this the type of appreciation you give?"
Goldlink hasn't responded to Paak, but, as of the time of this artcle, hasn't deleted his post on IG either.

Counseling with a Catholic identity
Elizabeth A. Elliott | Catholic Herald Staff Writer
There comes a time in many people's lives when finding extra support through counseling can help them through a difficult time. Those who seek counseling and want to incorporate their Catholic faith have somewhere to turn — Catholic Charities Family Services.
While it is up to the individual client, Family Services can incorporate faith into the counseling session.
"One of the biggest things that makes us different from secular agencies is that we have the freedom to bring our Catholic faith into the service if that's what our client desires," said Anne Devine, Family Services program director. "We specifically have the integration training, training clinicians on the integration of psychology, philosophy, and theology."
Art Bennett, president and CEO of diocesan Catholic Charities, said counselors try to give advice congruent to Catholic teaching. "We believe the church teaching is the best for helping a human flourish," he said. "Relationships are vital."
Clients don't need to be Catholic to find support. The program offers services to people of all faiths.
"We see this role as a ministry," said Devine. "Some clients have a desire for faith to be involved in therapy, and if they don't want it, we have to respect that. We can be a means of the Lord's compassion and mercy."
Counselors work with their clients to incorporate faith into their sessions. "Some clients have wanted to start and end sessions in prayer," said Devine. "Others want to know that if they talk about their faith it will be respected and understood."
The sacraments or Scripture might come up in conversation. "At times we might talk about the sacraments and the need for that healing that takes place from the Lord," said Devine. "We have the freedom to present Scriptures that go along with their presenting issues. They meditate on certain Scriptures including on gratitude that can be informative and transformational."
There is a stigma about mental health that exists, and some Catholics are hesitant to reach out for help, said Devine. "Some clients have said they were told to pray through it and the Lord will heal them," she said.
Some may turn to their priests when they have an issue, and Devine said priests are becoming much more aware of mental health.
"We have amazing priests who are good at referring clients," she said. "It's beautiful because they are understanding their role as spiritual leaders and not as mental health providers."
During this abuse crisis in the church, Family Services hasn't seen a change in referrals or in clients seeking out support. "We've been able to collaborate with the diocesan Victim Assistance ministry," said Devine. "We're the first place they're encouraged to seek mental health help, and we work our best to put them in as quickly as possible."
The work is important for the counselors. "As clinicians, it's been a way for us to help with the healing process in a wounded part of our church," said Devine.
Family Services is moving its main offices from Arlington to Fairfax. "In line with the field hospital notion, we are putting offices out in the field closer to the parishes," said Bennett. "We are in 17 parishes."
Devine said she moved half of her team to Fairfax in October 2017. They have more space and more clinicians, which Devine said is helping clear their waiting list. They also are closer to the Neumann Center at George Mason University and are a mile from St. Leo the Great Church. "Being close to another parish is good for referrals," said Devine.
But people in Arlington are not left out. There are services out of St. Charles Borromeo Church and St. Agnes Church, as well as a satellite office at 80 N. Glebe Rd.
"The hope is we want to be able to serve poor across the Diocese of Arlington. People think we are only in Arlington," Devine said. "Because the diocese is spread out, we want to be within 65 miles from every parish in the diocese."
Go ccda.net or contact your parish. Call 703/425-0109 for the North region or 540/371-1124 for the South region. The Fairfax office is located at 3251 Old Lee Hwy. #402, Fairfax

Adults who smoke or who are genetically predisposed to smoking behaviors are more likely to experience a serious type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), according to new research published today in Stroke, a journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association. The results of this study provide important evidence that there is a causal link between smoking and the risk of SAH.
SAH is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel on the surface of the brain ruptures and bleeds into the space between the brain and the skull. It mainly affects middle-aged adults and has high rates of complications and death.
"Previous studies have shown that smoking is associated with higher risks of SAH, yet it has been unclear if smoking or another confounding condition such as high blood pressure was a cause of the stroke," said senior author of the study Guido Falcone, M.D., Sc.D., M.P.H, an assistant professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. "A definitive, causal relationship between smoking and the risk of SAH has not been previously established as it has been with other types of stroke."
To determine whether there is a causal effect of smoking and SAH, researchers analyzed the genetic data of 408,609 people from the UK Biobank, ages 40 to 69 at time of recruitment (2006-2010). Incidence of SAH was collected throughout the study, with a total of 904 SAHs occurring by the end of the study. Researchers developed a genetic risk scoring system that included genetic markers associated with risk of smoking and tracked smoking behavior data, which was collected at the time each participant was recruited.
Researchers found that:
the relationship between smoking and SAH risk appeared to be linear, with those who smoked half a pack to 20 packs of cigarettes a year having a 27% increased risk;
heavier smokers, those who smoked more than 40 packs of cigarettes a year, were nearly three times more at risk for SAH than those who did not smoke; and,
people who were genetically predisposed to smoking behaviors were at a 63% greater risk for SAH.
"Our results provide justification for future studies to focus on evaluating whether information on genetic variants leading to smoking can be used to better identify people at high risk of having one of these types of brain hemorrhages," said Julian N. Acosta, M.D., neurologist, postdoctoral research fellow at the Yale School of Medicine and lead study author. "These targeted populations might benefit from aggressive diagnostic interventions that could lead to early identification of the aneurysms that cause this serious type of bleeding stroke."
Researchers say while their findings suggest a more pronounced and harmful effect of smoking in women and adults with high blood pressure, they believe larger studies are needed to confirm these results. Their analysis is also limited by the type of data used in the UK Biobank, which, like all large information resources, rely on standardized treatment codes from medical charts, whereas smaller studies are focused on more detailed health records and information for each individual.

People with underlying issues of trauma like sexual or physical abuse and neglect often seek therapy due to some other crisis, all the while knowing, somehow, that past abuse is a contributor to their current problems. It can be very scary to even begin thinking about how much damage has been done to the heart, body, mind and soul by sexual or physical abuse, and yet there comes a time when it is imperative to start the healing process.
▪ Feeling powerless in romantic relationships, at work, or in unbalanced friendships.
▪ Feeling helpless with the belief that nothing will ever change or get better no matter what you do or do not do.
▪ Feeling estranged from others, yourself, and God even though you try to do everything right.
▪ Feelings of guilt and shame and avoiding anything that reminds you of the sexual violations, physical abuse and/or neglect you experienced.
▪ Feeling clashing feelings (ambivalence) and doing self-destructive things like cutting yourself, excessive drug use, or being promiscuous.
▪ Memories in the form of daydreams, nightmares, or flashbacks often come even when you do not want them to or try to push them away.
▪ Feeling depressed and/or anxious more days than not.
▪ You may feel uncomfortable, angry, sad, and scared when you first talk about what happened to you. You may even feel out of control and full of doubt. You may also feel really relieved, understood, and validated. There is a good chance your hope will be restored.
▪ You will do most of the talking and I will guide you in exploring, discovering, remembering, effective expressions of anger, mourning, and finally acceptance and forgiveness. Quite possibly your faith will deepen and grow.
▪ Your relationships may change as you let go of false beliefs about yourself, learn to set boundaries with others, and try doing things differently. Love that once seemed so elusive and unreal will blossom and cover a multitude of wrongs.
When you finally begin working on unresolved issues hope is cultivated, faith grows, and love blossoms. A whole new way of relating to others and doing life opens up to you. Continuing to deny the problems underlying strained or ruined relationships may only lead to more of the same.
