Liz Kane
It's never been a straight line for Jacksonville, Florida, native Susan "Liz" Kane, especially when it came to her choice of university and major, but her experience at the University of Idaho opened doors and opportunities in international studies and the arctic studies field beyond her imagination.
"A lot of little decisions led me to the University of Idaho and my studies," says Kane.
"I'm glad it did because I've been able to do so much and received great encouragement and support for my interests. They really made it work for me."
From a chance meeting with a prospective UI student during a high school study abroad experience in the Czech Republic, Kane learned about the university and the international studies program. While she'd been thinking about fashion design, her experience in the Czech Republic made a huge impact on her.
"It really opened my eyes to see the world from a new perspective," says Kane. "Once I saw the international studies program, I was excited and knew that was what I wanted to do."
As an international studies major, Kane took advantage of the UI's partnership with Washington State University to study Russian, but it was during her yearlong study abroad experience at the University of Lapland in Finland where she started to look at arctic studies and began making excellent connections in a relatively small field.
"Once I was in the program, I fell in love with the region and the opportunity to study all the other components that go along with international studies," says Kane, who enjoyed taking Russian and reindeer herding courses.
When it came time to choose her study abroad opportunity, Kane knew she wanted to use her Russian, but none of the partnerships fit her need in the International Programs Office. Working with the office, they allowed Kane to research other programs to find a better match and helped arrange it. A unique benefit for Kane was that she was the sole American on exchange at the University of Lapland.
Spurred by her time above the arctic circle, Kane spent the summer interning with the Bureau of Oceans and Environmental and Scientific Affairs in the State Department in Washington DC. It was there she realized how few people are studying arctic studies, and it made her more determined to fill that need.
"I felt there was a great need there, and I really enjoyed what I had been studying," says Kane. "The international studies department was great, they said whatever I needed, they'd help me out. I don't think I could have done this without their support."
When she came back to the UI, she created a minor in arctic studies, with the help of her adviser, by pulling classes from anthropology, political science, environmental science and international studies courses.
Following up her year abroad and her internship, Kane studied at the University of Alaska Fairbanks for a semester through the National Student Exchange Program, where she took more Russian and Alaska Native studies courses.
And while she has been studying language, culture and policy in relation to arctic studies, she has been bolstering her workload with environmental science courses to better understand the policymaking and scientists' work.
"I feel really lucky to be able to have the scientific and policy backgrounds in arctic studies," says Kane. "It's a really small field right now, but there isn't a lot of lap over between policymakers and scientists."
In her four years of study, Kane was also involved in two Model UN units and volunteered for two years with the conversation partners through the International Programs Office, helping students with their English.
Kane continues to work towards her goal of one day becoming a foreign service officer and has accepted an offer from the University of Alaska Fairbanks for a teaching assistantship for a master's degree in Northern Studies. Whatever her next step is, the foundation Kane built at the UI is frozen solid.

Arizona is served by numerous airlines flying to both Phoenix (Code: PHX) and Tucson (Code: TUS) from cities around the U.S. and Canada. Phoenix is the more centrally located of the two airports and is closer to the Grand Canyon. However, if you plan to explore the southern part of the state or are going to visit both Phoenix and Tucson, I recommend flying into Tucson, which is a smaller airport and charges lower taxes on its car rentals. The only drawback is that your plane will probably stop in Phoenix on its way to Tucson. If a trip to the Grand Canyon is your only reason for visiting Arizona, consider flying into Las Vegas, which sometimes has lower airfares and better car-rental rates.
Alaska Airlines often has low fares to Arizona. Also, be sure to check the fares at Southwest Airlines, which does not list its fares on big travel search engines. Phoenix and Tucson are both served by most of the major U.S. airlines and also a handful of international airlines.
Arizona is bordered on the west by California and Nevada, on the north by Utah, on the east by New Mexico, and on the south by Mexico. I-40 runs east-west across the state connecting to Los Angeles (via I-15) and to Albuquerque. I-10 also passes through the state connecting to Los Angeles in the west and all the way to Jacksonville, Florida, in the east. I-8 connects Casa Grande with San Diego. I-17 is the state's only north-south interstate highway; it links Flagstaff with Mexico at Nogales. Using the interstate highways, you can travel between Phoenix and Tucson in a little more than 1 1/2 hours. From Phoenix to Flagstaff takes about 2 1/2 hours (add another 1 1/2 hours to get to the Grand Canyon).
Amtrak (tel. 800/872-7245; www.amtrak.com) provides service aboard the Southwest Chief between Flagstaff (for the Grand Canyon) and Los Angeles, also connecting with Albuquerque, Kansas City, and Chicago. The Sunset Limited connects Tucson with Orlando, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and Los Angeles. At press time, the fare from Los Angeles to Flagstaff was $61 one-way and $122 round-trip. There is no rail service to Phoenix, but Amtrak will sell you a ticket and then put you on a bus from either Tucson or Flagstaff to Phoenix. Book early for lower fares.
Greyhound (tel. 800/231-2222 in the U.S.; 001/214/849-8100 outside the U.S.; www.greyhound.com) is the sole nationwide bus line. International visitors can obtain information about the Greyhound North American Discovery Pass. The pass, which offers unlimited travel and stopovers in the U.S. and Canada, can be obtained outside the United States from travel agents or through www.discoverypass.com.


My name is Lucas Ijsbrandy, Chief Executive Officer of Beyuna. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to share Beyuna's vision with you. If key concepts like "Designing a World where People come first" and "Your Future in Control" appeal to you, you have come to the right site.
Beyuna has developed a concept that offers you the chance to become part of a movement. The movement's goal is to provide you with tools to live an autonomous life. Within this context, living autonomously implies financial independence. Issues like: will I keep my job, what about my pension, what does my weekly schedule look like, what is essential and what is optional, how do I finance my health, my children's education and my parents' care while leaving an inheritance which will additionally be indexed for inflation?
An offer no one can refuse! Our society is currently in a transition period where you can lose out, or you can adjust to circumstances and end up on top. Beyuna makes this possible by connecting consumers via state-of-the art online tools (website, App, Cloud Office etc.), affiliated marketing and dropshipping combined with a modern lifestyle concept. Beyuna "The New Difference" is up there with Airbnb, Über, etc. I'm sure of that.
I wish you all the best for your next "Beyuna your future in control" event and look forward to meeting you in person soon.

Neilburg is een dorp in het westen van de Canadese provincie Saskatchewan, op 25 kilometer van de grens met Alberta. Het plaatsje telt 379 inwoners (2016). Neilburg bevindt zich ongeveer zes kilometer van de noordoostelijke hoek van Manitou Lake, een van de zoutwatermeren die in deze provincie ontstaan zijn door de potaswinning.

Geschiedenis
Neilburg is vernoemd naar een vroege kolonist, Clifford O'Neil. Het eerste postkantoor was in zijn huis, anderhalve kilometer ten zuidoosten van het huidige dorpje. Neilburg werd in 1923 geregistreerd als gehucht ('hamlet'), en in 1946 was het zo ver gegroeid dat het de status van 'dorp' ('village') kreeg.

Infrastructuur
Aan de noordkant van het dorp loopt Saskatchewan Highway 40 (SK 40), een provinciale weg van Saskatchewan. Deze maakt deel uit van Poundmaker Trail, een verbindingsweg die loopt van Edmonton, de hoofdstad van Alberta, naar het stadje North Battleford, 90 km ten oosten van Neilburg. Langs Neilburg loopt deze verbindingsweg kaarsrecht, pal oost-west. Hij verbindt Neilburg met Marsden, een iets kleiner dorp dat veertien kilometer westelijker ligt. Oudere basisschoolkinderen uit dat dorp gaan in Neilburg naar school. Tussen Marsden en de noordwesthoek van het meer ligt Big Manitou Regional Park.

Haaks op deze highway loopt de kleinere SK 675. Deze 160 kilometer lange weg verbindt dorpen met elkaar, geen grotere plaatsen. In Neilburg verspringt de SK 675: vanuit het noorden rijdt de bestuurder Neilburg aan de westkant binnen, daarna gaat het een stukje over de SK 40 en ten oosten van het dorp is dan de afslag om verder te gaan naar het zuiden. Neilburg ligt op zo'n dertig kilometer van het noordelijke einde, dat uitkomt op de Yellowhead Highway, een belangrijke verbindingsweg in Westelijk Canada.

Religie
Neilburg telt anno 2021 drie kerken: een behoudend evangelische, een algemeen protestantse en een katholieke; dit zijn de Manitou Evangelical Free Church, de Neilburg United Church en de St. Charles & St. Joseph. Die laatste wisselt maandelijks de diensten tussen Neilburg en het nabije Marsden.

Overig
In 1999 werden nabij het dorp graancirkels aangetroffen.

A Canadian military turn to East Asia?
Canada has begun a gradual re-engagement with East Asia after over a decade's hiatus
The driving force has been the establishment and intensification of economic relations, specifically with Canada's second-largest trading partner, China. But alongside these pursuits there is a growing chorus from Canada's strategic community to enlarge and incorporate political-security aspects into Ottawa's renewed interactions.
Canada is not a new participant in East Asian security dynamics but has a sporadic history of involvement. Canada contributed military forces in support of the United Nations during the Korean War, and participated in the International Control Commission to observe the implementation of the Geneva Accords ending the First Indochina War. Recently, Canada was an active member of the South China Sea Dialogues in the 1990s hosted by Indonesia, where China explicitly favoured Canadian rather than American or Japanese funding for the process. While never a major military priority, interaction with the region dwindled to almost nothing during the beginning of the 21st century as numerous Canadian governments and military planners focused on supporting international counter-terrorism and piracy operations, counter-narcotic operations, and concerns associated with the opening accessibility of the Arctic.
East Asia barely merits a mention in Canada's defence policy, but a number of recent developments indicate a potential shift in policy. The large contribution of Canadian forces and high-level command positions to the 2012 Pacific Rim military exercise, and the investigation of establishing a staging and logistics hub in Singapore, indicate the region has reappeared on the government and defence establishments' radar. Canadian concerns stem from various regional tensions combined with and encapsulated within the larger changing power realities underway, specifically the rise of China, which affect global economic and political stability.
Canada's awakening to these developments follows the United States' 'pivot' to the Pacific and the posturing and re-evaluation of strategic policy by regional partners such as Australia, South Korea and Japan. In these discourses China features prominently, in particular concerns about its military developments limiting American freedom of action and challenging its defence commitments in the region.
Canada faces a complex balance between ensuring commensurable defence policies with Washington, its most important ally, over expected responsibilities in hypothetical regional security scenarios (including hedging against China), and continuing to build cordial ties with Beijing. China's growing military power is concerning, but Canada has so far remained silent on security issues, such as the South China Sea disputes, in part to keep the focus on growing economic relations. However, Canada, like the United States and its regional partners, will have to find ways of simultaneously addressing security and other concerns whilst continuing to engage economically with Beijing.
If Canada is serious about reorienting its military focus and giving priority to the region, a number of developments are expected over the next few years. A necessary and obvious first move would be to rebalance Canada's naval forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast (currently the distribution is approximately 60:40 per cent). Canada will, furthermore, continue to participate in American led warfare exercises to build up expertise working with Asian militaries.
Regular port visits and military exchanges, specifically at educational institutions, will be necessary to build an understanding of the security environment, including the strategic perceptions of regional partners. Becoming a member of the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meetings and the East Asia Summit would increase Canada's access to security forums and presence in dialogues. Canada's contributions to East Asian security generally would be small, but there are niches where Ottawa could employ its expertise to maximise its contributions and influence, such as counter-terrorism knowledge, non-proliferation measures, humanitarian and disaster assistance, fisheries management, and maritime boundary dispute delineations.
However, Canada's newfound desire to be involved in East Asia has met with some regional scepticism. In 2012 the then-ASEAN secretary-general Surin Pitsuwan stated Canada must show a determined commitment to be an active participant in East Asia before it is accepted into the East Asia Summit. So alongside increased engagement with the region's institutional framework, augmenting the visibility of Canada's navy through maritime diplomacy would signal such determination. Building and maintaining a presence in the region will affect operational sustainability of other missions, and developing a working relationship with East Asian militaries will benefit other Canadian expeditionary missions, such as anti-piracy in the Arabian Gulf.
Canada has taken tentative steps to become involved in regional security. But defence policy and discourse must reflect this reorientation and give the regional military and security communities, and Canadian allies, reasonable expectations about the nature of its involvement. Canada must carve out its own policy space or risk becoming a non-player or simply following the whims of American initiatives. Generating and building ties with middle-powers and China in East Asia is essential to Canada's foreign policy because they are becoming important and influential global actors. Military focus in the region, therefore, must be part of a larger international engagement strategy working with East Asian states to support the stability of the liberal international order in an age of changing power dynamics and emerging multi-polarity, of which the unfolding of in East Asia is most obvious and significant.

Q: Perform action before Chrome closes itself I'm working on Chrome extension which needs to perform an action just before Chrome closes. Is there any method like chrome.window.onClose.addListener(...), or chrome.runtime.onClose.addListener(...) to ensure that something will be done and then chrome will close itself?
I've been struggling with this problem for two weeks. Here are the options for potential solutions that I've found, but they didn't work.
My investigation results:

*

*Using function: chrome.runtime.onSuspend.addListener(...) - I don't know why, but it doesn't work at all for me. For example, I've tried to write a callback for this event, which tries to add hardcoded data to the indexed DB, but it doesn't add it. Description of this method even says that the callback is not guaranteed to be completed. OnSuspend documentation

Sent to the event page just before it is unloaded. This gives the extension opportunity to do some cleanup. Note that since the page is unloading, any asynchronous operations started while handling this event are not guaranteed to complete.

*Chrome working in a background - with this option my extensions seems to work, but... only on Windows older than Windows 10. I've checked few options and on my other computer, which has Windows 7 installed, processes connected to Chrome are closing more slowly, which gives time for my extension to perform necessary tasks. Unfortunately, Windows 10 kills all the processes much faster. I've check option "continue running background apps when google chrome is closed", but it doesn't change anything. I've also enabled flag "#enable-push-api-background-mode", it hasn't helped either.
Keep Chrome running in the background on Win10, Enable flag to keep Chrome processes running

*chrome.app.window.current().onClosed - I've found a similar question on Stack Overflow, and one of the answers was the code mentioned above. The problem is when I try to type chrome.app.win... inside console, it doesn't show any suggestions both in background script and content script. Google's documentation doesn't mention any permission that I've to add inside my manifest.json to get access to this functionality.Stack Overflow similar question, Google's documentation about chrome.app

*Methods build in web browser - I've thought that method window.onclose might be useful in my case. I've performed the same test as for chrome.runtime.onSuspend, but the result was exactly the same. Documentation
I've stuck and haven't got any idea how to solve my problem. Maybe I missed something important? Hope you will help me.

Lhotse south face, winter attempt. The 2006 Korean Lhotse South Face team, comprising Lee Choong-jik (leader), Kim Hyung-il, Choi Jun-yeol, Seong Nak-jong, Kang Ki-seok, and I arrived at base camp on November 14. We joined forces with the Japanese Alpine Club expedition, alternating leads and fixing rope as we opened the route. The Korean contingent was eventually forced to retreat ca 300m shy of the summit due to injuries, weather, and lack of provisions. I reached the Korean highpoint of 8,200m on Christmas Eve and the following is the story of my summit push.
Early in the morning of December 21, a group of Japanese Sherpas reached Pasang Poti, Kang Ki-seok, and me at Camp 2 (7,100m). They had to carry gear to Camp 3 (8,000m) and get down the mountain, so we let them go ahead. The headwall above Camp 2 was particularly hard and I remembered how difficult it had been a few days earlier to hammer pitons solidly while leading through this section of continually steep mixed climbing and hard ice. To add to the difficulties, temperatures in the morning hours, when the face was in shade, would be extremely low, while afternoon sunshine would warm the face and cause showers of rock fall and spindrift. In fact, constant rock fall made this section something of a climbing hell.
At several points on this section we jugged past Slovenian wire ladders. There were three sets of these between 7,300m and 7,500m, where the ground was very steep. Despite many areas of damage, wed opted to use them while opening the route.
By 3 p.m. Pasang Poti and I had arrived at Camp 3 (8,000m) near the top of a steep snow face. Ki-seok's oxygen had become depleted at ca 7,860m and an hour after our arrival at camp, Pasang rappelled to help him. The Japanese found a good spot for their camp and cut a slot out of the ridge for a four-man tent. A large, mushroom-shaped lump of snow was frozen to the vertical wall and Pasang and I realized that by chopping away at it we could make enough space for a two-man tent. Unfortunately, our tent was three-man, but the ledge would have to do. That night was the first we spent tied into our harnesses.
The following morning, December 22, there was a fierce wind. Ki-seok, suffering badly from altitude, retreated to advanced base, while Noriyuki Kenmochi, Atsushi Senda, Pema Tsering Sherpa, Pasang, and I began on the route above. Unfortunately, the altitude now began to take its toll on Pasang and at 1:10 p.m. he decided to return to base camp. This left only myself from the Korean team. I'd worked very hard to get as far as this and it was great to be able to continue upward in the good company of the Japanese.
Our total for that day was five pitches. Tanabe's team had previously traversed right for 200m, fixing rope to a point where we could rappel into a couloir. From here, we alternated leads on a second traverse further to the right, which led in 300m to a second, narrower couloir rising toward the summit. The final traverse pitches were a terrifying business. On lead, the obstruction caused by my oxygen mask and thick gloves made it really difficult to maintain critical balance whilst grabbing gear off my rack and hammering pitons. At 3 p.m., Pema Tsering began having difficulty with the altitude and retreated to Camp 3. Senda and I fixed the lead rope and also started our return to camp. Next day I rested for what I hoped would be our summit bid on the 24th, while in the meantime the Japanese continued to push out the route.
The 24th proved to be the only Korean summit attempt. The weather was perfect except for the continually harsh wind, something with which we were never able to come to terms. Kenmochi, Senda, and I made up the summit team, with Senda and me setting off at 8 a.m. Kenmochi was not feeling so good and followed a little later. I deposited a bottle of oxygen between the first and second couloirs, then continued to our previous day's high point: from here, protection would primarily rely on pitons. Our line lay up the couloir between two ridges, the one on the left marking the line of the Slovenian attempt and that on the right, the Russian route. Surrounded by massive walls on both sides, we were extremely exposed to rock fall and a huge gust of wind could release loose rock at any time. We had to move quickly.
Halfway up we were hit by a small shower of rocks. Senda's goggles were shattered, Kenmochi's face was grazed and bloody, whereas I took one on the left hand. We paused and stared at each other, but knew we would have to go on. Senda led through a second ice section and gave me the signal to climb. A few meters up, a huge rock smashed into my left forearm. I screamed out in pain. Senda lowered me. I couldn't move my fingers, and when I peaked under my sleeve, I could see a huge mess of blood. Ten minutes later I was able to move my fingers again: luckily I hadn't broken any bones and felt good enough to continue.
I led the next 50m pitch and Senda led through for a second rope length. However, at 8,200m the pain in my forearm became too much to bear. I radioed base camp and told them there was nothing more I could do. The two Japanese and I agreed to rappel to Camp 3 together. That would be all for our team.
So that's the way it happened. Lhotse did not grant our wish of completing the south face to the summit in winter. I was hit and still have the scar, but am grateful to have returned alive and equally grateful to all those who helped make our efforts possible.


Q&A: A historian who supports workers – J.
You are a native San Franciscan from a middle-class Jewish family that goes back generations in Napa, where your great-grandparents opened a dry-goods store in the late 1800s. You graduated from Stanford University in 1961 with a bachelor's degree in history. What sparked your interest in labor unions?
Harvey Schwartz: I enlisted in the Army Reserves in '62 after starting my master's work in American history. I just wasn't ready for graduate school. I wanted to look at the world, to seek the "why," not just the "what," of how things were the way they were. I was stationed in south Texas. Racial prejudice was all around us; its presence was like a hissing snake. I had the revelation that I could leave the service and get out of Texas, but African Americans could not just leave their social condition: not that way. So I went back to graduate school with a vengeance and started studying social movements, including labor unions.
What does that mean, graduate school "with a vengeance"?
I joined the civil rights movement, co-founding Friends of SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) at the University of Washington. I spent a lot of my time fundraising and building community. The conditions have to be right in order to organize: In the 1930s, for example, when people were desperate. And in the '60s, the time was right to fight for civil rights. Some 10 or 15 years ago, Bill Shields, chair of the labor studies program at City College of San Francisco, described me as an "activist historian." He probably had it right.
Did your Jewish heritage influence your life choices?
I always thought of myself as culturally Jewish. When I went to Stanford, I was supposed to study to become a doctor, but I just didn't have it in me and I chose to study history instead. You know, there are two traditions: either you're a doctor/lawyer/businessman — or you're a do-gooder. You can see which path I chose.
You went on to earn your doctorate in labor history at U.C. Davis. What drew you there, and what was your focus?
Professor David Brody was one of the top labor historians in the country at the time, and I learned from him how to do oral histories. I did my thesis on the San Francisco angle of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, the only international union that has its headquarters here in the city — most are in Washington, D.C. This got me started gathering primary source research on the workers of Bay Area docks and shipyards and, later, the warehouses.
What's the importance of the ILWU to the Bay Area?
I'll admit there's a lot of "inside baseball" in labor politics, and a lot of people turn away from it for that reason. But the ILWU has played a central role in West Coast politics overall. After unions were suppressed nationally in the 1920s, it was longshoremen who turned that around in the '30s and '40s, leading the way to show that workers' rights could be won. Despite the many trials of ILWU leader Harry Bridges regarding his suspected Communist affiliations, black workers in this area know that Bridges insisted on including them in the union. Today, African Americans comprise more than 50 percent of ILWU Local 10 membership. It's been a democratizing force.
Jobs in labor history are not exactly plentiful; how have you put your skills to use?
I've researched and written many papers, articles and books on the role of unions in West Coast life, including 54 full-length oral history interviews of ILWU members and leaders in the union paper the Dispatcher. My book "Solidarity Stories: An Oral History of the ILWU" (2009) was named best book in American labor history by the Bay Area Independent Publishers Association. I've been hired to interview subjects for major oral history projects at the Labor Archives and Research Center at San Francisco State University. One of those projects, in 1987, planted the seeds of my most recent book, "Building the Golden Gate Bridge: A Workers' Oral History" (2015). And since 2000 I've been an honorary curator at the ILWU International Library in San Francisco.
It seems that everything about the bridge has already been documented. Why did you decide to write your book?
Since I conducted those interviews with workers in 1987, it had been on my bucket list. It was colorful and rich historical material. And I thought, everyone loves the Golden Gate Bridge. Maybe a book about the people who built it in cold and dangerous conditions, while dealing with the Great Depression of the 1930s, could serve to entice people outside of the organized labor community to look at the lives of American workers.
We're coming up on Labor Day, and the Bay Area is flush with tech workers and others who have never had a union experience. What would you like to convey in terms of public awareness?
I still feel that the best hope for the great majority of the working people in the United States lies with the labor movement. Who else has the power to serve as the party of humanity for the vast majority of us? Certainly not the great corporations or their political spokespersons. "Solidarity Stories" was aimed at informing people about the ILWU and letting them know what a clean, democratic, militant union could do for them. That's the sort of public awareness I'd like to encourage.
Will you be participating in the upcoming celebrations for the bridge's 80th anniversary next year?
I do not have specific plans, but I'd love to be a part of any public celebration of the birthday of that great orange icon and help get the word out about the Golden Gate Bridge workers, if any public or media entities want to have me over.
How do you take a break from all your scholarly work?
I was, for a long time, a marathon runner. I may be soft in some areas, but not in running. I've run 14 full marathons, five ultra-marathons and other long races. I ran the Dipsea Trail race six times — my best time was 67 minutes. I stopped running in 1990 after blowing out my knee. Now I hike. I love to hike in the East Bay hills.

Mickey Mouse, Joe Biden, Fox News and the Self-Devouring Dragon
April 5, 2022 / Jared Longshore
So the goals before us are fairly straight forward. First, don't get eaten by the dragon. Second, drive the cross through the dragon's skull. Now this indeed sounds basic enough. But things do get complicated. This two-pronged mission to which we have been called is complicated by the fact that many of the covenant people are in danger of being eaten by the dragon, entirely unaware that he is about to have them for lunch. Moreover, when a few King Arthurs come along to slay the vile beast, the evangelical-lite police throw the tone-flag and put the knights in the penalty box of bad reputations. So that is the lay of the land. But all of it needs more detail. So here we go.
The Dragon's Rainbow Colors
For sometime now, the dragon has operated incongneito. But we are very thankful that he has begun to show his colors. He did so this past week at the Magic Kingdom, the White House, and yes, Fox News.
First, leaked videos surfaced showing Disney officials pushing an LGBTQ agenda. These videos show a Disney official saying the company is resolved to push queer stories and advance gender-noncorming characters. Second, Joe Biden released a video to mark the International Transgender Day of Visibility (it falls on March 31st if you haven't been paying attention). Biden took it upon himself to instruct parents in the following manner, "To parents of transgender children, affirming your child's identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe and healthy." He meant, of course, it is the most powerful thing you can do to keep them in danger, sick, in chains, and insane. Biden insists that you start this process as early as possible, indeed you must begin in Kindergarten, as evidenced by his opposition to the recent "Parental Rights in Education" bill that Governor DeSantis has signed into law. Finally, it was announced that Caitlyn Jenner, the man who won woman of the year, was joining Fox News as an on-air contributor.
Now, no one should be surprised by the Disney leaked videos. Disney has been unhinged for years, so old news and all that. In the second position, Joe Biden really has risen to new levels of offense with his video. He has promoted child-abuse plain and simple, and should be removed from office posthaste. Fox News, however, Fox News has proven themselves to be the silliest show in town. Fox posted an article about the Disney videos entitled, "Disney exposed." Fox wants us to be uncomfortable with Disney's gay agenda . . . as they advance their own gay agenda.
Now Joe Biden, Micky Mouse, and Sean Hannity don't just become pro-trans out of nowhere. Yes, it has to do with money and fear. But it doesn't only have to do with money and fear. From where does it come then? I'm glad you asked.
The Androgynous Priest and His Religion
Peter Jones has made the point that "throughout time and across space, the pagan cultus consistenly . . . holds out as its sexual representative the emasculated, androgynous priest." Jenner is that emasculated, androgynous priest. And Fox News has platformed that priest of the pagan cultus to reconcile people to a false god. Jones goes on to define this paganism as "monism, the belief that one principle defines and unites all of reality. Thus all is one." Jones has argued convincingly that the "new sexuality" of the sexual revolution is an expression of "age-old religious paganism."
That paganism is the real dragon. The LGBTQ rainbow is not itself the dragon but merely the colors in which the dragon has decked itself. My friend Doug Wilson has called the LGBTQ rainbow pomosexuality to make the point that it is "the central selling point for postmodern realtivism." In one of the most timely paragraphs I can think of he adds,
"When God gave us the world, He gave us certain building blocks for the understanding—heaven and earth, sea and dry land, sun and moon, and male and female. Let me try to imagine a place which had heaven and earth muddled, sea and dry land reversed, sun and moon backwards, and the female in combat and the male in drag, but where everybody was sound on Christ crucified and justification by faith alone. Can't picture that? Neither can I."
The Dragon and the Cross
As I mentioend before, the dragon himself is paganism. And God is so kind that he has given us a historic symbol so that we would understand this error. That symbol goes by the name of Ouroboros. You have likely seen the image. It is a dragon or a snake wound around in an circle eating his own tail.
Chesteron spoke fittingly when he said, "The great Asiatic symbol of a serpent with its tail in its mouth is really a very perfect image of a certain idea of unity and recurrence that does indeed belong to the Eastern philosophies and religions. It really is a curve that in one sense includes everything, and in another sense comes to nothing." That symbol of the self-devouring dragon signifies the monist paganism of our day which teaches that "all is one." And the cookies are on the bottom shelf here. The dragon is eating itself. So that one "unity and recurrence" that "includes everything" (thus the circle) really does come to zero (thus the circle). In other word, it is empty . . . like the wisdom well of Fox News.
The cross, however, is a different symbol and a different religion, the true religion which does not lead to the bottomless pit into which that dragon is falling as he eats himself. Chesterton explains, "[The cross] does convey, almost as by a mathematical diagram, the truth about the real point at issue; the idea of a conflict. . . In other words the cross . . . does really stand for the idea of breaking out of the circle that is everything and nothing. It does escape from the circular argument by which everything begins and ends in the mind."
So the cross signals conflict. And it is at that grand intersection that man is freed from living in his own head. It is at that grand point of conflict that Christ triumphed over the serpent. It is at that cross that man can escape the empty abyss of the outter darkness.
But the trouble is that many evangelicals don't want the conflict. They want a tone, a style, an approach, and a life that is smooth, like the scales of a dragon, pliable, like a snake. And come to find out, that way cannot break man out of his circular pagan lusts and pagan faith.
Far too many Christians are willing to live according to the dragon's circle down here on earth. Their cross is up there in the sky. Their Christianity is up and their day to day life is down here, operating according to a different symbol. Several of these people are now a good half way down the dragon's gullet. And some of them are discovering that their worldview is far more pagan than Christian, more circle than cross.
The question before the Christian Church now is, "Are you prepared to take up that cross and follow Jesus?" That indeed involves dying on it. And it also involves driving that cross into the snake's cranium. Golgotha was, after all, the place of a skull. A skull that was pierced by a wooden stake on which was a sign that read, "King of the Jews."
If I might say it plainly, Christians must awake to the fact that the dragon is on the rise in America. And they must join themselves to a people that are not dragon's food. It is not enough to be a people who are at war with the dragon's colors. Plenty of saints are not at ease with his rainbow banner. But these very same people are being slowly devoured by the dragon himself. Disney is now in his belly. Fox News is too. And if you would not be, then you must find a Christian community that understands that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). That would be a Christian community the sentiment of Chesterton when he said, "We might say that when St. George thrust his spear into the monster's jaws, he broke in upon the solitude of the self-devouring serpent and gave it something to bite besides its own tail."

Q: Using Razor, how do I make all "bool?" properties appear as Yes/No/Not Set on details pages? Here's my page code so far:
@model TennisClub.Models.ClubMember
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Details";
}

    Details

<fieldset>
    <legend>ClubMember</legend>
    @Html.DisplayForModel()
</fieldset>

    @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = Model.Id }) |
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")

For all the nullable bools (bool?) in my model, this displays a dimmed select list with either Not Set, True, or False. I'd like it to be just plain text: either Not Set, Yes, or No.
How can I achieve this most easily? I'd like this style to be global throughout my site.
Edit
Just took a stab at making a template per Mark's answer, but the details page looks exactly the same.
I created a bool.cshtml file and placed it in the following folder:

[ProjectFolder]/Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates

Here's what I have for my bool.cshtml template at the moment:
@model bool?

@if (Model == null)
{
    <text>Not Set</text>
}
else
{
    if (Model.Value)
    {
        <text>Yes</text>
    }
    else
    {
        <text>No</text>
    }
}

This doesn't seem to have any affect on my details pages at all.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Edit 2
Here's my model class:
public class ClubMember
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
    public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
    public string PhoneType { get; set; }
    public bool? CanPlayDays { get; set; }
    public bool? CanPlayEvenings { get; set; }
    public bool? CanPlayWeekends { get; set; }
    public string Role { get; set; }
}

A: The template file is the way to go for site wide implementation. But I'd take it a step further with an extension method.
public static string ToString(this bool? b, string ifTrue, string ifFalse, string ifNull)
{
   if(!b.HasValue) return ifNull;
   return b.Value ? ifTrue : ifFalse;
}
Boolean.ToString("Yes","No","Not Set");

This allows easier display of arbitrary values.

A: You would want to override the default template.  In short, under your views folder, you would create a "DisplayTemplates" folder and a "EditorTemplates" folder.  Once you have this, you can create a Boolean.cshtml file in each one where the Model is bool?.  Then you can do what ever you want as far as display options go.  This will change how all bool? model fields render.
Here is a blog post that I have refered to many times to help me figure this out.  http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/aspnet-mvc-2-templates-part-3-default-templates.html
UPDATE: One word of caution, remember to handle the null case.  I have forgotten to do that in the past and it had bitten me.

An action-packed horror/comedy in which a group of college kids staying at a riverside cabin are menaced by a swarm of deadly zombie beavers. Yes, really. That's the plot!
A dark look into the minds of two men with nothing in common: Nomura, a self-obsessed serial killer residing in Tokyo and Bayu, a failing journalist who lives in Jakarta. Connected through a series violent incidents, both men inexplicably start to feed off each other. (Not literally). Co-directors "The Mo Brothers" (Macabre, V/H/S/2) deliver an epic tale that works as action, suspense, and disturbing horror at the same time..
Written by Mike Hostench (Deputy Director of Sitges Film Festival), Asmodexia documents five days in the lives of an exorcist and his granddaughter working in the Barcelona area. If you think you've seen every exorcism angle imaginable, prepare to be surprised. And a little grossed out.
Raymond can channel the paranormal, but he's afraid of chatting with a cute girl.. Kicked out of his big city apartment, Raymond returns home to his overbearing mother, ex-jock father, and beer-bellied classmates. But when a vengeful ghost terrorizes the small town, Ray recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to help solve the mystery.

A group of friends on a weekend trip to a cabin in the woods find themselves terrorized by alien visitors, who promptly chase everyone all over the place. So it's a slasher movie, a suspense thriller, and a pretty gruesome alien abduction tale all at once. Plus it's got some solid humor and an amazing final shot. From the directors of the found footage horror flick Grave Encounters. Oh, also Michael Ironside pops up!
If the worst day of your life consisted of accidentally killing your girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing your own arm off, and watching in horror as your closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion, you'd have to assume that things couldn't get much worse. In Martin's case, that was only the beginning. From the director of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters and (of course) Dead Snow.
While video chatting one night, six high school friends receive a Skype message from a classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago. A first they think it's a prank, but when the girl starts revealing the friends' darkest secrets, they realize they are dealing with something out of this world, something that wants them dead. Told entirely from a young girl's computer desktop, Cybernatural redefines 'found footage' for a new generation of teens. From producer Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Wanted).
Inner Demons follows an 'Intervention'-style reality show crew that films an episode about a sixteen-year old girl, a former A-student, who is fighting addiction but may in fact be suffering from something even more destructive: demonic possession. Director Seth Grossman was a producer on A&E's award winning series "Intervention," which certainly lends an air of authenticity to a gradually more unpredictable horror story.

A Jesse Tree tells the story of the Bible, from creation to Christ's birth. Each meeting this Fall, we will be building our tree so that by Christmas we have one to share with our family. We hope it is something you will keep for years to come.
The name of the Jesse Tree comes from Jesse, the father of King David. Isaiah prophesied that "a shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse, from his roots a branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord – and he will delight in the fear of the Lord." Isaiah 11:1-3.
A branch is a sign of new life and new beginnings. Jesus, a decedent of Jesse and King David is this new branch that came from the stump of Jesse.
The first Jesse trees were large carvings, tapestries, or stained glass windows that helped illustrate the Bible from Adam and Eve to Mary and Joseph.
Now, Jesse Trees serve as a kind of Advent Calendar counting down to Christmas, while also reminding us what we are preparing to celebrate.
Below is an example of what our finished projects will look like in December! If you miss a week, the other ladies at your table will try to make that week's portion of the tree for you.
A huge thank you to our Creative Activities Coordinators Kim Baena and Suzanne Campaigne who have put tremendous thought, planning, and hard work into using our crafts time towards the spiritual development of our families.
Here's an example of what our finished projects will look like in December!
we (try to) control it.
Imagine if instead we could find diamonds in our mire.
Instead of these negative responses, which if we were honest we would say really don't help, Becca illustrated the example of her mother as a woman who suffered well. Becca's mom was first diagnosed with cancer when Becca was still a baby. Despite a very bleak prognosis, Becca's mom continued to live through her cancer battle until Becca was grown.
So how do we find the diamonds in the mire, how do we suffer well?
Let Community Into Your Life. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that have lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 1 Corinthians 12:24-26. Becca remembers friends of her mom helping with food or finances. After her mom's passing, these women who had come alongside her mom, stepped in to buy Becca's wedding dress. Raising preschoolers can be isolating, all suffering can be isolating. If you are going through suffering, be intentional about letting community into your life. MOPS is a great place to find community. If you need to talk with someone about your mire, start with your table leader, mentor mom, or any steering team member. The coffee and breakfast are good, but that's really why we're here.
Trust That God Has Purpose For You. And we know that in all things God works for the good for those who love him, who have been called according to his good purpose. Romans 8:28. God used Becca's mom to minister to other cancer patients in treatment with her. She would carry around a card with her contact info on it, saying you are not going through this alone. God has also used Becca's mom's suffering to enable Becca to encourage and bless others today. But we won't always know the purpose. It may be to grow you, it may be to encourage or bless others. But we don't have to know the purpose in order to trust that God has one.
Grow Through Hope. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:3-5.
Lean Into God. Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned, the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:1-3. Suffering can make us feel alone and isolated. But remember God is always with us in our suffering. Try not to look at suffering as the mire – the sticky, yucky junk you are stuck in. Remember, suffering can be life-giving. Jesus's suffering (and death and resurrection) gave us life!

Tesla Plans to Launch a Store & Service Center in Turkey
Von Eva Fox
Image: Turkey Tesla Club
Tesla develops plans to settle in Turkey. Recent recruitment for positions indicates the imminent opening of a store and service center in the country, after several years of waiting.
Tesla stepped up in Turkey in early 2022 when it appointed Kemal Geçer, who has headed the Lufthansa Airlines Turkey office since 2015, as head of Tesla Motors Turkey and boosted the company's capital in the country by TL 50 million ($2.68 million). This was the first serious hint of further development in Turkey, and local customers even awaited the official start of sales of the company's entire line of vehicles in 2022. However, Tesla has not entered the country's auto market this year, though there are now more signs that it could be as early as next year.
According to a job listing on the company's website, Tesla has started recruiting for several positions in Turkey, most of them in service and one in sales, which indicates the establishment of a store and service center there. All vacancies that were opened were for Istanbul, in the Beşiktaş area. Tesla is looking for:
Tesla Advisor (Sales & Customer Support)
Automotive Supervisor (Vehicle Service)
Parts Consultant (Vehicle Service)
Service Advisor (Vehicle Service)
Automotive Mechanics/Technicians (Vehicle Service)
Mobile Service Technicians (Vehicle Service)
Turkey's car market already has Tesla vehicles that have been delivered privately. However, many of them do not have access to the service they sometimes need. That is why the opening of a service center there is very desirable. In addition, Tesla has plans to open its Supercharger network in Turkey. The cities currently include Istanbul, the capital Ankara, southern Antalya, the western cities of Aydın, Balıkesir and Izmir, the northwestern cities of Bursa, Edirne and Sakarya, and central Konya. However, at the moment it remains unknown exactly when they will be opened.

  Protected Sub Calendar1_DayRender(ByVal sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DayRenderEventArgs) _
        Handles Calendar1.DayRender
    Dim nextDate As DateTime
    Dim StartDate As DateTime
    Dim Enddate As DateTime
    Dim username As String

    If Not dsHolidays Is Nothing Then
        For Each dr As DataRow In dsHolidays.Tables(0).Rows
            StartDate = CType(dr("StartDate"), DateTime)
            Enddate = CType(dr("EndDate"), DateTime)
            nextDate = CType(dr("startdate"), DateTime)
            username = CType(dr("username"), String)

            If e.Day.Date >= StartDate And e.Day.Date <= Enddate Then

                e.Cell.Text = username
                e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Pink
            End If
        Next
    End If
End Sub

Any suggestions?

A: You are not appending the username to the cell text. To display a list of the user names, change the line  e.Cell.Text = username to  e.Cell.Text += username.
One alternative would be to add controls to the cell dynamically (e.g. e.Cell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(username));) instead of simply displaying the text.
This should get you on the right track.

The triple bowline knot is a variation of the bowline knot. The knot can be applied to emergency situations, such as mountain rescue.

Etymology
The name comes from the three loops that would be formed by tying this knot.

Tying
The knot is tied in the same way the original bowline is, except with a doubled rope (using a bight).  An overhand loop is formed in the rope, the working end is passed back through that loop, behind the standing part of the rope, back through the loop and pulled tight. The working end (bight) forms a third loop, often larger than the two equal-sized loops. The size of the third loop depends on the length of the bight pulled through the loop.

Bowline on the bight
A bowline on the bight is a similar knot to the triple bowline. Instead of wrapping the bight around the standing end and then passing it back through the nipping loop, the two loops are passed through the bight so that it tightens on the standing end. It has only two active or available loops. This is used in rescue situations, especially in a case where there might be an injured person or people, as it forms a "seat" in which the injured person can be raised or lowered safely. The full triple bowline is also used in rescue situations with the third loop passed around the waist or torso.

Double Bowline
The triple bowline is often mistakenly referred to as the double bowline. The double bowline is in fact a bowline tied on a single strand with the nipping loop doubled up, and only has one loop.

Q: Dispatcher.BeginInvoke lambda capture thread-safe? In Windows Phone 7 / Silverlight, is the following code safe or is it a race condition?
//Snippet 1
foreach(var item in list)
{
   Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( () => { foo(item); });
}

Surely (?) this alternative is racy?
//Snippet 2
Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( () =>
   {
       foreach(var item in list){ foo(item); }
   });
list.Clear();

A: "Race condition" may not be the best way to put the problem with the first snippet.  But basically, you are using a captured variable outside the capture scope.   The value of "item" will end up being the last item then your foo method is called, for all items.
Instead, do this:
foreach(var item in list)
{
   var tmpItem = item;
   Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( () => foo(tmpItem));
}

This puts a variable in a lower scope, and it is captured in that scope.  This makes sure that each value is captured and sent to foo.
The second version is almost certainly an error given a sane scope of the list variable.

The Olympics' Exploitation Of Indigenous People Has To Stop
Organized sport played an important role in the residential school system, which means that sport is implicated in Canada's history of cultural genocide. How we move our bodies, the values we attach to those movements, and the resources we provide to support certain types of movements and not others are political decisions.
Janice Forsyth Researcher, public educator, advocacy leader.

The final report for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, released in 2015, includes 94 Calls to Action that outline how Canada can help reconcile its past with Indigenous people. Five of those action items focus on sport. One of those items, number 91, addresses the inclusion of Indigenous people in major games, such as the Olympics.
Why was the Commission interested in major games? Didn't it address the history and legacies of Indian residential schooling?
Not so long ago, in the late 1800s, the federal government made it illegal for Indigenous people to engage in their traditional dances and ceremonies. Indian agents and missionaries attempted to fill the cultural void by encouraging sports participation instead. That prohibition, called the Potlatch Law, was finally repealed in 1951, the same year that Indian Affairs began encouraging sports in the residential school system, believing it would help Indigenous youth assimilate into mainstream culture.
The final report and the 94 Calls to Action are thus clear reminders that sport has always been and will always be political. Even if you don't participate in sport, it is an important feature of modern life, and that is why the commission included items about sport in its final report, alongside talks of treaties, health, justice and education.
It is tacit recognition that the relationships that structure Indigenous involvement in sport, including the Olympic Games, need to be rearranged so that Indigenous people do not have to fight the same battles -- for inclusion, for consultation, for legacies -- every time an event rolls into town.
Will future Olympic hosts build on the progress made in Vancouver with the Four Host First Nations by providing Indigenous people with more concrete benefits rather than symbolic ones?
How Indigenous people are involved in major games is important because the benefits they accrue from taking part offer important insights into whether or not the International Olympic Committee, the National Olympic Committees, the host societies (which includes government representatives) and corporate sponsors are serious about creating meaningful legacies for people other than themselves.
There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the Olympics. The 1904 Games in St. Louis pitted Indigenous people against white athletes in a scientific experiment called Anthropology Days, with the purpose being to demonstrate white athletic and cultural superiority.
The 1976 Games in Montreal incorporated Indigenous imagery and people into various aspects of the Games to sell Quebec as a multi-cultural region and the Olympics as a vehicle for bringing peace, harmony and friendship to all corners of the globe -- never mind the fact that Quebec didn't recognize Indigenous people as "people" at the time, or that the Olympics were struggling from acts of violence and terrorism (Mexico 1968 and Munich 1972) and global concerns about the financial risks associated with hosting.
Indigenous symbolism took on increased importance to organizers after Montreal. Consider Calgary 1988, Sydney 2000, Salt Lake City 2002 and Vancouver 2010. In each case, there were more Indigenous people and imagery everywhere as the Games moved forward in time.
How have Indigenous people benefited from their involvement in the Games? Vancouver 2010 offers some instructive examples. The highly acclaimed First Nations Snowboard Team, a youth-based program, initially benefited from a $3-million dollar legacy fund.
Along the way, funding for the team was reduced and finally cut, and not one organization has yet explained why the team cannot access the reserve fund. The remaining four or five team leaders who are working on volunteer hours are struggling to keep the program alive.
And according to Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, the Four Host First Nations (on whose land the Games took place) were the only beneficiaries outside of the big corporations, the host society, and the provincial and federal governments. "We need to decide where we go from here," Phillip said back in 2009. "We can't sit idly by and watch this continual generation of wealth, while our communities sink deeper and deeper into poverty."
The exploitation needs to stop.
Will future Olympic hosts build on the progress made in Vancouver with the Four Host First Nations by providing Indigenous people with more concrete benefits rather than symbolic ones? The Vancouver Games were far from perfect, but they created a space to have a long-overdue conversation about Indigenous involvement in the Games.
Imagining what is possible is even more relevant now that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has come to a close.
But what does reconciliation in sport look like?
Is it the underfunded snowboard team, the only legacy from Vancouver for Indigenous athletes in Canada? Is it the ongoing exploitation of Indigenous people and imagery for commercial gain? That would explain Hudson's Bay hiring Dsquared2, the fashion designers who apologized for their "Dsquaw" line only after they signed their deal with Hudson's Bay.
Or maybe it's an Aboriginal youth forum, like the one that was organized for the 2010 Games? In the words of John Furlong, then-CEO of Vancouver 2010, "We would dress them up in modernized versions of their tribal regalia to create the colour and pageantry for which we were striving" and then "had them locked in a hall in Squamish, a week or so before the Games" so that they didn't leak confidential information about their role in the Games. This is the perspective that the Olympic chief brought to the Games and wants us to celebrate?
There needs to be a robust discussion about Indigenous involvement in the Games and about legacies that offer enduring concrete outcomes for Indigenous people. In those structural changes, we will see the limits for what is possible for Canadians generally, so that the broader public can benefit, too.
Canada, we can do better.

In fact, Wind energy IS the problem, and it's a huge problem, both technically and financially. It is, was and will be the cement block that all of us consumers of electricity will be dragging around with us as long as these money-shredders are standing.
How did "likely not feasible…" turn into "an effective tool in managing the province's electricity system"? It's easy to see now; by throwing money at it, lots of money, billions upon billions of dollars. This is what happened: The province, shocked to find itself in this unforeseen situation, gave itself the right to tell producers to stop producing when there was an oversupply. There is no technical problem with this as the blades of wind-turbines can be feathered. The companies cry foul; they have a contract that gives them first-in-line access to the grid. No problem; they will be paid as if they were producing, regardless of all other considerations. So you see, problem solved. Wind becomes "an effective tool in managing the province's electricity system," by paying producers to shut down whenever their product is either not needed or a threat to the grid.
Who pays for all this? Everyone who gets an electricity bill. But the evidence is not plain. It's all in that grab-bag of costs given the deceptively simple name of "delivery," along with smart meters, line loss, paying nuclear operators to torque down their operations whenever the wind is blowing too strong for the system to handle. The suits at the IESO can now breathe easier because they no longer hold the hot potato of accountability in case the system were to crash. The government that created this nightmarish scenario clearly does not feel accountable either. The day before the recent provincial election, Brad Duguid, ex-minister of energy, when interviewed by CBC radio, said that electricity bills had only increased by one cent on account of renewables. But my bill has somehow tripled over the last eight years. Some trick, some trickster.
The rest of Giannetta's letter is equally full of wind. Ontario's environmental commissioner is quoted as saying that "wind energy has helped Ontario make real progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector." I've read his report and there 's a reason it's called "Failing our Future." Ontario is not meeting its objectives in reducing CO2 emissions. That's because we are mainly relying on natural gas to keep the lights on.
Now if CANWEA, or anyone else, could come up with a cost-effective way to store and remake electricity, that would be a game-changer that would turn me into a fan, if you'll pardon the pun. IESO keeps looking for it, as well as paying for research and small-scale trials. So far, they are batting zero, and it's a safe bet that they will keep doing just that for a very long time to come. Virtually all of it is window-dressing, and I think they know it.
Meanwhile, at the Liberal Party of Ontario headquarters, they have a list of losing candidates in the recent election. The electricity system may just provide a few cubbyholes with desks and "good-paying " sinecure jobs for a fair number of them.
What a way to run a great province onto the rocks.
