Our favourite Cornish spring walks within easy reach of Mother Ivey's Bay
01 March 2018:Cornwall
Spring is in the air! Winter chills are giving way to early signs of change – bluebells, camellias and rhododendrons are welcome early visitors to North Cornwall.
From Mother Ivey's Bay Holiday Park, you can head in any direction and find a delightful walk to make the most of spring. Here are some of our favourites, all within easy reach of the park.
Stepper Point – best for views
They don't get any closer than this walk, which is on our doorstep. Mother Ivey's Bay offers spectacular scenery and it continues along the coast right the way to Stepper Point where the daymark – a stone tower – built for maritime navigation, will guide you.
The walk is along the South West Coast Path and well signposted. It takes you past the popular beaches of Harlyn and Trevone where you will find refreshment. Then there's three miles of open cliff path before you reach Stepper Point, so it's probably a good idea to take a picnic lunch and something to drink with you.
The coast will be green with new growth and there will be lots of birdlife to observe. When you reach Stepper Point you will be rewarded with incredible views – out to sea, along the River Camel towards Padstow and across the estuary to the magnificent Pentire Headland.
Camel Trail – best for buggies and bikes
The wonderful thing (well, one of the wonderful things!) about the Camel Trail is accessibility. Built along an old railway line, it's easy to negotiate for babies in buggies and people on bikes. It's 18 miles long and offers a charming walk through lovely countryside, which includes areas designated as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation. If you're feeling energetic, you can hire a bike in Wadebridge where the walk starts and where there's plenty of parking. It's also less than half an hour by car from Mother Ivey's Bay Holiday Park.
There's woodland in parts, and at other times you walk close to the Camel Estuary. From Wadebridge, the trail goes in two directions – head to Padstow around six miles away, where an iron bridge will take you across the Little Petherick River.
The other direction travels through woodland and along the Camel River ending up in Wenford Bridge – a more strenuous stroll of around 10 miles (but remember, that's ten miles back!). Take whichever route you want and although it's busy (it's used by over half a million people a year), it's safe, friendly and fascinating.
The Japanese Garden – best for peace and tranquillity
If spring makes you think of blossom, the Japanese Garden in the village of Mawgan near Newquay is the perfect destination. Robert and Stella Hore opened a Bonsai Nursery here in 1988 and, nine years later, the Japanese Garden opened to the public.
The traditional, calm space aims for a balance of man-made and natural objects. There's a water garden, Zen garden, waterfalls, streams and lots of spring colour – Japanese Maples in red and green, cherry blossom, rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas. There are 120 named varieties of the iconic Acer palmatum and, of course, lots of bamboo.
The gardens open for the season on 1 March.
Goss Moor – best for wild walks
This National Nature Reserve covers some 480 hectares teeming with flora and fauna. There's a fairly flat seven-mile trail for all users and the area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation.
Managed by Natural England, over 70 species of bird have been recorded on the reserve and the area is home to many rare species including Cornish moneywort, yellow centaury, Cornish pillwort, marsh clubmoss and scores of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies – including the small red damselfly and the marsh fritillary butterfly.
You might also spot roe deer, otters, hen harriers, bittern and the great grey shrike who make their home on the varied landscape of heathland, wetland and scrub.
Bedruthan Steps – best for drama
In the spring, the waves on this stretch of the North Cornwall coast can be wild and dramatic as the Atlantic beats the shore, eroding soft rock into "stacks" protruding up from the sea. Historic Bedruthan Steps has been attracting visitors since Victorian times, many entranced by the legend of the giant Bedruthan who used the stacks as stepping stones.
There are remnants of when this area was known for the mining of iron, copper and lead. Mining stopped some time ago but the architecture and workings live on.
The area is in the care of the National Trust – park at Carnewas and head off on a walk that offers a romantic glimpse of the power of the sea. You can download walk maps at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/.


The Addis Ababa 3rd International Conference on Financing for Development ended with an outcome document that raised different level of dissatisfaction among key stakeholders chief of which is that the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) provides very weak language on the means and mechanisms required to deliver a new sustainable development agenda in the next 15 years.
The level of unfulfilled expectations in Addis-Ababa places very high the hope that the upcoming final stage of the negotiations for the Post 2015 sustainable development agenda in New York, and the Paris UNFCCC conference of Parties will provide a platform for more constructive engagement and commitment towards the transformative agenda and means of implementation we desperately need to protect our planet and take humanity on a path of prosperity.
However, what is most important for Africa and its leaders now is what the Addis outcome means for post 2015, as well as Agenda 2063. Likewise, African citizens through the CSO community would like to know what the Addis outcome means for advocacy between now and September 2015, as well as beyond at local, national and regional levels.
This position paper looks at the AAAA in that perspective with a view to drawing positive lessons from the FfD negotiation process and building a basis for securing African interests. This input goes beyond mere critique and disappointment with the AAAA outcome to focus on possible avenues that African policy makers and citizens will have to consider as they engage further in the Post 2015 process.

at the first senior living and care community in the country with an on-site stable.
Rector, an internationally noted pioneer in equine therapeutic programming, along with researchers at the University of Arizona Human-Animal Interaction Initiative are studying hard science about the human-horse bond. They are assessing how the equine connection affects patient behavior, emotions, and over-all health, as well as researching the potential for it to reduce or reverse agitation, depression and social isolation.
"It always comes back to the heart," Barbara Rector says. "Horses' heart rates can sync with that of humans, a physiology of heart exchanges. Horses already intuit mind-body connections, how to be present to the communication while being aware of what is going on around them. They develop a palpable relationship that can be seen, felt and shared. Through interaction with horses, residents enhance communication skills and relationship development with an emphasis on trust and choice," she says.
While Barbara Rector has known this at a gut level over her 40 years of working with horses, she and Dieter Steklis, Ph.D, University of Arizona Professor of Psychology, plan to provide scientific proof. "While benefiting residents and guests, our research goal with "In The Presence of Horses," is to identify the component aspects of the horse-human interaction that are responsible for the positive effects we can detect — quantitatively demonstrating the psychological and behavioral improvements to a humans well-being." Comments Rector.
"Several days a week, anyone at our community can join with our Hacienda Homes residents from Assisted Living and Memory Care to be together with the horses and Barbara's team," says Executive Director of The Hacienda at the River, Brenda Ritter. Along with sessions in the stable, the horses are also walked throughout the 7.5-acre community. They visit with those in the courtyard of "The Springs," the Hacienda's state-of-the-art Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing and Hospice integrative care and wellness center, as well as the "Hacienda Homes" gardens. "Our intent is to integrate everything we do here for the most effective care, and based on feedback from the professional world of psychologists, our equine therapeutic programming is at the forefront of treatment. We've seen a lot of life-enhancing moments already." notes Ritter.
For Watermark decision-makers David Freshwater, Chairman & Developer and David Barnes, President & CEO, adding "In The Presence of Horses" to the Hacienda mix is all part of contributing to innovation in the realm of creative wellness pioneering. "Senior housing has shifted away from just 'taking care' of residents and guests to 'engaging them,' and Equine Therapeutic Programming is a unique and effective way to achieve beneficial engagement," says Barnes.
Terraced on the banks of Tucson's Rillito River, with many boarding stables nearby, The Hacienda at the River offers to make arrangements to board resident's horses at reputable nearby stables and will transport residents to their horses, or will bring those horses to The Hacienda regularly, on a by appointment basis.

Set within the grounds of an existing country estate, planning approval has been granted for a private sculpture gallery sunk into the ground to minimise its impact upon the historic landscape. Carefully designed to address issues associated with Green Belt development, the building includes a green roof that will allow the existing landscaping to be reinstated on completion.
The striking gallery space includes a range of natural light sources to best display a broad selection of contemporary and historic sculpture. These comprise top light via strip roof lights that wash down the walls, large glazed openings allowing sunlight to flood into the room and also diffuse light via a large adjacent open air pool linked to the gallery with an underwater glass wall.
The minimalist design uses very few materials that include shuttered concrete, glass and timber to create a dramatic but flexible space for displaying a variety of works of art.

George Clinton will celebrate 80 years of funk at the NJPAC
Bill Doyle Published: March 17, 2022
Getty Images for NAMM
George Clinton, the "Godfather of Funk", will be performing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark on Friday night.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was born in North Carolina, but was raised in New Jersey. According to Allmusic.com, Clinton formed the Parliaments at age 14 in the back of a barbershop in Plainfield where he straightened hair.
He got a job in the music business in Detroit and shuttled between there and Plainfield where he operated the Silk Palace hair salon. The Parliaments struck in big in 1967 with the hit "(I Wanna) Testify," which reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and #20 on the Hot 100.
A legal dispute led to Clinton changing the name to Funkadelic and featuring more horns "without losing a grip on gospel, soul, and funk."
Around the same time, he formed a band called Parliament, which, while using a lot of the same musicians, was a distinct band from Funkadelic. Parliament and Funkadelic charted a combined 39 singles including number one R&B hits "Flash Light," "One Nation Under a Groove," "(Not Just) Knee Deep," and "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)."
In 1982 he went solo, releasing the album Computer Games which spawned two big R&B hits, "Loopzilla" and "Atomic Dog." Clinton continued to record as both a solo act and as part of reconstituted Parliament and Funkadelic; they were known for their elaborate stage shows that featured an alien spacecraft (the "Mothership") that was later donated by Clinton to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History.
Clinton will be joined by Questlove, Vernon Reid, and Nona Hendryx. Tickets are available at the NJPAC website.

Stretching sun-drenched and untamed to the south of the wild and majestic Pyrenees, this passionate nation works a mysterious magic. Spain is littered with hundreds of glittering beaches; flamenco bailaors (dancers) swirl in flounces of colour; and toreros (bullfighters) strut their stuff in the bullrings. Summer holidaymakers gather around great pans of steaming paella (at its tasty best in Valencia) and pitchers of sangria.
Travel by train in Portugal and Spain.
Travel by train in France and Spain.
Combine car rental and train travel exploring Spain.
An international night train with all the makings of a contemporary hotel. You'll travel in comfort from Spain to Italy, France or Switzerland.
Spain also has its own national railpasses, all issued by RENFE. For information on train fares, schedules, and destinations, please visit www.renfe.es (in Spanish) or Rail Europe.
Talgo and AVE trains are the fastest and most efficient train in Spain, but there are a number of other special trains that run in Spain as well. Altaria trains are high-speed lines that will get you from Madrid to Cordoba in a little more than 2 hours, or Madrid to Seville in slightly more than 3 hours.
For speed, stick to the fast AVE trains linking Barcelona with Madrid. The two most important cities of Andalusia, Seville and Granada, are linked by TRD trains (Regional Diesel Trains), in cooperating the latest technology in the field of diesel engines. TRD trains require reservations (available only in Spain).
If you're on a strict budget, opt for second class seats on trains; they are reasonably comfortable and usually well maintained.
Reservations are a very good idea in Spain if you're travelling on holiday, on Friday afternoons or on Sunday nights. Reservations are required for all fast and long distance trains, and are required for passengers who book couchettes or sleeper accommodations. Only slow regional and local trains do not require reservations. All reservations should be made as far in advance as possible. Unless you're fluent in Spanish and can navigate RENFE's website, the best way to make reservations in advance of your trip is through Rail Europe. The cost of these advance reservations is built into the ticket price. Price also vary depending on whether you pay by cash or credit card and whether you have a railpass or not. It's a confusing situation, best discussed on an individual basis with a Rail Europe reservation agent.
If you're travelling on the same day you purchase your ticket and need a reservation, go to the window marked venta immediate. For future travel, head for the window called venta anticipada. Expect long lines at either window. Sometimes you'll have to take a number from a vending machine and watch for that number to appear on a digital display board. Before leaving the window, be certain that the fecha (date) and the hora salida (departure time) are correct on your reservation. Railpass validation can also be made at any of these designated windows. For both regular ticket holders and passholders, standard seat reservations start at 9.55 € ($12.40) per passenger for both adults and children and are non-refundable. Reservation prices for more luxurious trains can be higher, beginning at 13.90 € ($18.05) per passenger.
If you're planning for an excelent trip in Spain, I strongly recommend investing in Rick Steve's Spain guide book, and the relevant Lonely Planet Guide for in-depth country information on the sights to see, places to stay, places to eat. They're both are very very useful.
Couchettes, actually foldout bunk beds, are called literas in Spain. We have found that many of these couchettes, which sleep six, are old and dirty. They're inexpensive, but you might not feel comfortable sleeping in them. If you're takig a long distance night train, called an estrella, you can see if a TrenHotel (train hotel) option is available for you. These are clean sleeping compartments with their own shower and toilet. Advance reservations are absolutely essential for one of these compartments.
Based on distance, sleeper fares range from 19.10 € to 175 € ($24.85 – @228) per passenger, with couchette reservations costing a flat 24.35 € ($31.65) per person. Reservations can be confirmed up to 2 months prior to the date of travel, but are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Most night trains have full restaurant service, and stewards also provide drinks and snacks at all hours. Inquire in advance about dining facilities or services. If they don't exist, bring your own food and drink to be on the safe side.
Most Spanish trains are air conditioned with adequate toilet facilities. Tickets for gran clase feature sleeping cars with private showers and toilet. In turista class cars, you'll find berths that sleep four. In economy class, expect a "sleeperette" seat.


To whom it may concern, I had the privilege of working with Shane while looking to purchase a home in the Treasure Valley. Shane's knowledge of real estate is refreshing and he is able to do more than the average agent and very driven to do so. With my very busy schedule, Shane was always in search of a house for me and always kept me informed. I appreciated his ability to advise me throughout the process as well as on the home inspection. I took four months to make a decision on a house and his patience was amazing. I can be very particular. From day one, he was patient and very informative. I can't think of a better person to have working for me to purchase or sell a house. He is driven and professional. I highly recommend Shane Holloway to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. I will be seeking his assistance in any of my future real estate transactions. Thank you Shane.

From February 2013 to present.
Throughout my academic career I have been an active researcher in the field of late medieval sermons, pastoral and devotional literature, with recent research and publications in late medieval and Tudor religious and devotional texts, with particular emphasis on the Bridgettine order and their contribution to early printed texts. I am an editor of both manuscripts and early printed texts, and am particularly interested in the period of transition from manuscript to print. I have made significant contributions to the understanding of the role played by Lady Margaret Beaufort in the dissemination of printed religious texts in the Tudor period.

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The Massachusetts Maritime dinghy sailing team opened its spring schedule by navigating through lingering snow, ice and wind to place 15th overall at the Coast Guard Veitor Trophy over the weekend on the Thames River.
Sophomores Ryan Novak-Smith (Johnston, R.I.), Mariah Allen (Rochester, Mass.) and Matthew Woodward (Middleboro, Mass.), along with freshman Jeffrey Adam (Newport, R.I.), comprised the Buccaneer squads for the competition, as the quartet overcame the elements to post consistent top 15 finishes in races throughout the weekend.
Massachusetts Maritime returns to action next weekend by competing at the Providence Southern Series One on Narragansett Bay.


Supporters of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Back in 2007, in response to a request from the industry, EU leaders called for a demonstration programme of 10-12 CCS plants (costing around €1bn each) to be put in place in a number of EU countries. But no progress was made in terms of finding funding for the plants until the European Parliament started securing some money for CCS via the energy climate package in late 2008. That has given CCS promoters fresh hope that their zero-emission dreams can soon be fulfilled.
- The European Commission has recognised CCS as one of the most promising technologies to combat climate change and has made initial funding of €1 billion available.
- However, the full "demonstration programme" needed to make CCS a commercially viable technology, will take €20 to €30 billion.
- Some representatives say much more public funding is needed.
- In addition, "regulatory uncertainties" will need to be tackled before industry can be expected to invest heavily in CCS.
- In the meantime, a new European project network has been set up to help EU-funded CCS projects and speed up technological development.
The CCS community's aim this year was to 'get ready for Copenhagen' and they have been busy doing just that.
First of all, they have the backing of the International Energy Agency (IEA), which acknowledged in its Energy Technology Perspective 2008 that CCS is the third most powerful solution for mitigating CO2 emissions after energy efficiency and renewables. According to the IEA, by 2050, CCS could represent 20-28% of all CO2 emission reductions. The IEA also said that CCS would bring the cost of meeting emissions targets by 2050 down by some 70% and that CCS would be a solution that could be applied by both the power generation sector and energy intensive industries.
CCS supporters have also successfully achieved their aim of gradually moving the technology towards the top of the EU agenda. 'It makes sense for the EU to adopt a CCS policy goal to make it commercially viable by 2020 in a fully functioning carbon market,' said Jan Panek, Head of the European Commission's Coal and Oil Unit in DG TREN (Directorate-General of Energy and Transport), at a CCS summit held in October in Brussels.
The European Commission has now officially recognised CCS in its European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) as one of the most promising technologies in Europe's efforts to create a low-carbon economy 'For the first time, this technology lines up with other energy technologies,' says Panek.
But there are people who want more to be done. Chris Davies, a British Member of the European Parliament and a former rapporteur on the European Directive on geological storage (the so-called 'CCS Directive'), is CCS's number one cheerleader in the EU institutions. He laments what he sees as a lack of leadership. 'Is there a top executive CCS spokesman in the European Commission?' he asks, pointing out that there is only support 'here and there' from various EU commissioners.
However, Davies recognises that CCS 'is not an easy political sell' because the technology is new to the public and to most politicians. He points out that the main difficulties lie in uncertainties about its technical viability and safety, about whether it will be accepted by the public and most of all about how to finance it.
The EU's future demonstration programme is 'a costly programme' (about €20-30bn in total), confirms Gijs van Breda Vriesman, member of the coordination Group of the Zero Emission Platform (ZEP, see box) and General Manager of Shell Hydrogen Europe.
a 'Mature commercial' phase in 2030 with 80 GW installed capacity.
In 2008, ZEP carried out an in-depth study into how a CCS demonstration programme could work in practice, from every perspective – technological, operational, geographical, political, economic and commercial – backed up by robust R&D activity. The resulting report – "An EU Demonstration Programme on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) – ZEP's Proposal" – describes precisely what the Programme should cover; how it could be funded and what steps must be taken to ensure it is up and running by 2015 in order to commercialise CCS by 2020.
Strömberg notes that the CO2 price is estimated to lie in the range of €30 to €40 per tonne for the first 450 CCS plants wherever they are built. 'This means that the first ones will not be economically viable, but plant number 450 in 2020 will be.' CCS costs are then expected to reach the same level as CO2 prices. In the meantime, 'it is industry which is taking the risk since it has to take the risk', Strömberg says.
Of course Strömberg only speaks for Vattenfall, which is committed to reducing its emissions to zero by 2050. Its aim is to bring down the cost of avoiding CO2 to €20 per tonne by 2020 with a 95% capture rate of Vattenfall's emissions. The electricity industry as a whole is calling for public money to boost R&D in CCS technology. In a short position paper issued in September 2009, Eurelectric, the Union of European Power suppliers, said that, 'unless sufficient and timely financial resources are made available in a properly co-ordinated manner by the EU and its member states to enable rapid CCS development, there is a significant risk that the EU's medium and long-term climate goals will not be met and security of supply will be jeopardized'. In Brussels, most observers interpret this as a sign that the power industry is reluctant to bear the financial risks associated with the development of CCS in its early stages.
This is where the EU can make a contribution with its two financing schemes for CCS. The first one was secured as part of the European Directive on the European Emission Trading System (ETS), which is itself part of the EU energy and climate package, in late 2008. Some 300 million 'allowances' (CO2 emission rights) from the 'new entrants to the carbon market' section were set aside to finance CCS and renewable projects. Since then, formal discussions have been ongoing between European governments and the European Commission as to the best way to disburse this money and on according to what criteria it should be allocated to projects.
The adoption of the EU's formal Decision and the publication of a first call for proposals are expected in early 2010. There will be two calls for proposals: a first one of 200 million allowances and a second of 100 million allowances. The deadline for the submission of proposals from member states to the European Investment Bank (EIB) is expected to be November 2010. The deadline for the award decisions on the first call is set to be 31 December 2011 and the deadline for award decisions for the second call is set to be 31 December 2013. The EIB (subject to the approval of its governing bodies), will select projects according to the terms set out in the formal Decision. The EIB will sell the allowances corresponding to the cash value of awards and pass revenues on to member states for disbursement. The selected projects could then be up and running by the end of 2015.
However, there are three main uncertainties hanging over this source of funding. One is that the price of CO2 is highly volatile. In other words, it is not clear how much the allowances will be worth in future. A second is that the split in terms of funding between CCS projects or other renewable projects is unknown. Thirdly, no one currently knows when the money will actually be paid: through an upfront payment, by instalments or when the projects are proved successful.
Industry is arguing for an upfront payment of the allowances to the CCS projects instead of a disbursement through annual instalments because this would double the value of the allowances, according to Van Breda Vriesman. This has been proposed to the European Commission but it fears that industry would make windfall profits. Industry's response is that 'the disbursement of allowances should be conditional on performance'.
The second EU financing scheme for CCS comes under the so-called 'EU recovery package'. The European Commission put together a list of 13 projects that were deemed eligible for a total of €1.05bn of funding from the EU recovery package. It then selected seven of the eleven projects that had applied for funding by the mid-July deadline. The projects are in Hatfield in the UK, Jänschwalde in Germany (Vattenfall), Belchatow in Poland, Rotterdam in the Netherlands (Eon and Electrabel), Porto Tolle in Italy (Enel), Campostilla in Spain (Endesa), and Florange in France (a CO2 transport project). The Commission's proposal is for each of the seven projects to receive up to €180m of EU funding. On 9 December, the Commission announced that all but the last of these projects will receive funding of €180 million each (except for the Italian project, which will get €100 million).
The roadmap, presented at the CSLF (Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum) ministerial meeting in London in mid-October, spells out a detailed scenario for the development of CCS from its current demonstration phase to full commercialisation and large-scale deployment between now and 2050.
• CCS is not just a 'clean coal' strategy: emissions-intensive sectors such as cement, iron & steel and chemicals as well as upstream fuel transformation activities will also need to use CCS to achieve climate change goals. In fact, by 2050, the IEA estimates that less than 40% of the CO2 captured will be from coal-fired power plants.
This is confirmed by Bjørn Utgård, from Bellona's Oslo Office, who says he is looking 'beyond power and power plants' as there are a lot of other sources of emissions, such as refineries, steel, silicon fertilisers and cement plants, where CO2 can be captured and stored. Industry emissions account for 12-15% of global emissions and these come from large plant sources.
But that is not enough for some people. 'The public pot of money here is relatively tiny and is the absolute minimum with which we could hope to make a difference,' said Jessie Scott, the Brussels Programme Leader for,the Environmental think-tank E3G, at the CCS summit in Brussels. Building some CCS plants in China rather than in Europe would even be more cost-effective for European companies, she pointed out.
Demonstrating CCS outside the EU is indeed another of the CCS community's aims. Bellona, a Norwegian NGO with offices in Brussels, Russia and Washington, who were the organisers of the summit, argued that CCS should have its place in a Copenhagen/post-Kyoto regime. If CCS is officially recognised on the main list of CO2 mitigation technologies, 'only new mechanisms could institutionalise the role of CCS in CO2 mitigation options' said Pål Frisvold, the Brussels Director of the Bellona Foundation. The environmental NGO was among the first ones to lobby for de-carbonising fossil fuels through CCS. Frisvold hopes that CCS will find its way into the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) in some way or another, 'although it will not be easy to include' as there is opposition from island states and emerging economies.
Nevertheless, pro-CCS lobbying has been given a voice at many international for a, including the CSLF (Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum) ministerial meeting in London in mid-October, the MEF (Major Economies Forum) in mid-November and the Copenhagen climate change summit in December. Speaking at the CCS summit, Debbie Stockwell, the Head of "CCS in Developing Countries" at the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change, emphasised that the UK argues strongly in favour of encouraging key emerging countries such as China, India, South Africa, Indonesia and Brazil to take up CCS. The UK is already working with these countries on CCS.
'It cannot be started in Europe and deployed later on in developing countries,' she explains. At the Copenhagen summit, the UK wants to see pilot CCS plants included in the CDM and CCS included in the post-2012 sectoral mechanisms. 'The UK sees CCS as being an important feature of some developing countries' Low Carbon Growth Plans (LCGP)', says Stockwell.

Funding demonstration projects is not the only hurdle that needs to be overcome. Regulatory uncertainty has also been cited as one of the main threats to the development of CCS. 'Regulatory uncertainty is a killer for these sorts of things,' says Alain Berger, Vice President for European Affairs and Head of the Brussels Office for Alstom.
Many stakeholders fear that the implementation of the CCS Directive may be delayed in some EU member states. 'If the [CCS] Directive is not implemented in a way that enables companies to take on appropriate commercial risks and also enables public confidence in the arrangements around CO2 storage, we will not be building any CCS plants in Europe and we will not be leading the rest of the world by example,' argued Jessie Scott, Brussels Programme Leader for Environment 3rd Generation (E3G).
The regulatory issue is directly linked to the problem of the public accepting CCS. An EU CCS programme would bring down costs and contribute to public awareness of CCS, by 'not telling but showing' through real data, explained van Breda Vriesman of the Zero Emission Platform (ZEP).
So far, industry has played a dangerous game either by playing NGOs against each other or by 'forcing it [CCS] down citizens' throats', something which is 'not the right way forward', said Sanjeev Kumar, the ETS coordinator at the WWF's European Policy Office. 'If you sit down and engage and build trust, it takes time, but that time is money well spent,' he added.
But there also needs to be some knowledge sharing in order to maximise innovation, minimise the risk and speed up the commercial roll-out. Knowledge sharing is explicitly foreseen in the EU legislation. One of the aims is to maximise public understanding of the elements that will affect public acceptance of CCS.
ZEP has recently issued a paper on knowledge sharing in order to maximise sharing without discouraging innovation, says Van Breda Vriesman. The paper proposes practical solutions for sharing intellectual property (IP) and know-how, ensuring both the rapid dissemination of the intellectual property worldwide and taking account of commercial aspects by maintaining the incentive to invest in it.
In this regard, ZEP calls on companies to use the 'European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) project network', an independent body recently set up by the European Commission to help CCS projects financed by the recovery package. (http://www.ccsnetwork.eu/) Its legal status is currently being discussed but it will not be a new European institution. Its purpose will not be to distribute EU funding but to be the 'face of CCS' for all stakeholders, including the public and international partners. The launch event of the network will be in Oslo in December. The event will be open to pre-selected projects and will discuss their progress with their application for funding, the criteria for membership of the network and possible plans for international cooperation. The overall aim is to identify best practices and to allow different projects to share their knowledge with each other.
Technology assets are key here. According to Alain Berger, when equipment companies invest in R&D for CCS, 'it is not to have it given for free to people in other countries, but rather to have some sort of assets recognised there' as well as some technology licensing mechanism and IPR (intellectual property rights) protection which will allow technology to be deployed quickly. Intellectual property is a 'very controversial' point of discussion among ZEP members, says Jessie Scott.

Gulf nations extend ultimatum to Qatar by two days
Cairo: The four Gulf countries that issued an ultimatum to Qatar over its alleged support to terrorism have extended the deadline for the country by two more days to meet their demands.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt issued a joint statement late Sunday stating that they have extended the ultimatum, which had been previously scheduled for July 4, for 48 more hours at the request of the Kuwaiti emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Efe news reported.
That extension, what the four countries call a "grace period" offered to Qatar, is based on the Qatari government's assertion that it will send its official response to the list of demands addressed to it on Monday, Saudi SPA news agency said.
The four Gulf countries in June had severed diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, which they accuse of supporting Iran and terrorism.
The list of demands to overcome the crisis comprised 13 points, including the closure of the Al-Jazeera TV channel, the end of diplomatic relations with Iran and the closure of a Turkish military base in the emirate.
Qatar denied all allegations, but the country's authorities stated that they were open to negotiations.
Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani earlier this week said in Rome that his country refuses to negotiate the list of demands, adding that any discussion on them will have to be based on the principle that his country's sovereignty must be untouchable.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur refused to discuss Eli Manning and the possibility of replacing the veteran quarterback with rookie Daniel Jones after Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The Giants were beaten 28-14 by the Bills in Week 2 as New York's winless start to the NFL season continued.
Manning was once again inconsistence at home to the Bills, the two-time Super Bowl champion completing 26 of his 45 passes for 250 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
Asked about possibly replacing the 38-year-old long-time starter, Shurmur told reporters: "I think we have to look at how our team played and we have to go back and take steps to get better in all areas.
"I don't think that's a conversation for right now. Everybody has to play better."

— New York Giants (@Giants) September 15, 2019
Manning – a two-time Super Bowl MVP and four-time Pro Bowler – added: "When you're 0-2, there's pressure on everybody.
"That's just the way it goes. You can't have that affect you. You can't let that change the way you prepare, the way you play. I've got to make better throws, better decisions and find ways to convert on third downs. That's a quarterback's job."
The Giants selected Jones with the sixth pick in the 2019 draft. The move was widely criticised by fans, but the Duke product impressed in preseason, completing 29 of his 34 passes for 416 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
New York are scheduled to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers away from home in Week 3.


Who doesn't love to curl up by the fire with a good romance? And there are some great ones out there. Many of the best romance authors also add a little something to the plot, taking their hero and heroine away from the bounds of everyday life and placing them somewhere different. It might be a fantasy world populated by demons, sorcerers and witches, or a society on another planet. Or it may be our world with a few added wrinkles, like time travel, weird scientific advances, or underworld creatures making their way above ground.
When an author mixes romance with mystery, suspense, horror, fantasy, or science fiction, the possibilities for conflict between the star-crossed lovers abound. More and more genres that might be described as "romance plus" are being written all the time. Before the Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared to You trilogies, who would have thought erotica could also be described as "romantic" in the more traditional sense? Not to mention those who mix romance with pure or urban fantasy or science fiction, such as Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison and Patricia Briggs. New authors are entering the "romance plus" arena all the time. Just think of Diana Rowland with her demons and her zombies.
the result of some weird flight of fancy on my part. My first two stories – Dear John and Destiny – were, much to my own surprise, classified by the publisher as romances. Having at first scratched my head about this categorization, I realized that in fact I was writing romance. But it was romance plus something else, the something else being my original story idea which tended to be a mystery or fantasy that simply happened to have a hero and heroine thrown together in unusual circumstances.
Dear John (Books to Go Now, 2012) is the story of a female postal worker who accidentally becomes embroiled in mob activities when delivering mail to a mysterious Gothic mansion. Destiny (forthcoming, Books to Go Now, 2012) is set in a hypothetical future where robots become more human and humans become more robotic, augmented by science to be immortal. When a man and his android fall in love, they – and hopefully the reader –question what it means to be truly human.
What do I take away from the surprising realization that despite my conscious efforts to write mystery and science fiction I am, in fact, writing romance? I love it. After all, it is only by examining the human heart and all its foibles that we can discover what makes us truly human. If readers can relate to our characters through familiar experiences of love and loss, they can immerse themselves fully in our stories. And the stories are fun to write too. I'm not sure if I'll ever call myself a romance writer, but I know that whatever I write will have love and heart, and hopefully my readers will want to share the journey with my characters.

Nationalism is back, and it's very angry. Populists have already come to power in numerous countries, and some people even fear that we are seeing a re-run of the 1930s.
In the US in particular, job loss is a central issue. But Donald Trump can't "bring the jobs back", because most of them never left the country; they just vanished because of automation. The US official unemployment rate is hovering around 4 percent, but almost one third of American men over 20 years old are not gainfully employed. And there is a plausible forecast that automation will destroy 47 percent of existing American jobs by 2033.
What got Trump elected, more even than racism and immigration, was the anger that comes from the misery and humiliation of joblessness. The key votes that pushed him over the top came from the Rust Belt, where the automation started destroying assembly-line jobs 25 years ago. Trump has no solution for automation, and more extreme populists may come after him unless the anger is extinguished. Automation really will kill the jobs, and not just in the United States.
The main political task for the next generation (post-Trump) will be to ensure that those without work have an income they can live on with dignity. One way that is already being widely considered is a Universal Basic Income (UBI). It would put money in everybody's pockets with no strings attached, whether they are working or not — and since everybody gets it, there would be no stigma involved.
The anger that drives the populism comes as much from the humiliation that people feel when they are unemployed as from the actual financial pain they are suffering, so any solution must treat both aspects of the problem. UBI might be the answer, although there is still much research to be done. But big change is coming, and big solutions are needed.
Gwynne Dyer's newest book, Growing Pains: Surviving the Populist Wave, was published in April 2018 by Scribe in Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
This event will be moderated by Charlie Smith, editor of The Georgia Straight.
Gwynne Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but he was originally trained as an historian. He received degrees from Canadian, American and British universities, finishing with a Ph.D. in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. He served in three navies and held academic appointments at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Oxford University before launching his twice-weekly column on international affairs, which is published by over 175 papers in some 45 countries.
His first television series, the seven-part documentary War, was aired in 45 countries in the mid-80's. One episode, 'The Profession of Arms', was nominated for an Academy Award. His more recent television works include the 1994 series The Human Race.
Dyer's books include War (1983), Ignorant Armies: Sliding into War in Iraq (2003), Future: Tense (2005) and The Mess They Made: The Middle East After Iraq (2007).
His more recent works include Climate Wars, which has been translated into French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and a number of other languages. Don't Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and the Middle East, came out in October 2016 and has already been translated into Arabic and Turkish. His newest book, Growing Pains: Surviving the Populist Wave, came out in April 2018. He lives in London.
In 2010, Dr. Dyer was made an officer of the Order of Canada.

"Stifling" by Animalia
Animalia AKA: Jill Krasnicki started performing music as a bassist at the age of 17 in her hometown of Tasmania, Australia. For 10 years, she played various venues and festivals and toured around Australia, Ireland and parts of Europe, eventually landing in Toronto, in 2009. At the start of 2012, Animalia was born as a dark folk acoustic act and saw the release of her DIY first EP To the Waking, the Shaking and the Volatile. Her second EP A Wave to Wash the World Away, incorporated beats and by the start of 2014, Animalia had left her guitar-based songs behind and had become a fully electronic act.
Her debut album Mouth Full of Teeth, was released in June 2014. Animalia worked closely with Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral) and Karim Hussain (Hobo with a Shotgun) on the creation of the music video for "Stifling."
Animalia released her second album Dissonance in early 2016 with the singles "Little Earth" and "Paradise" coming shortly before. (dissonance) is an alt-electro album with pop sensibility. It is conceptually dark and each song focuses on a different element of my relationship with the world around me.
The title steams from the concept of believing in two opposing thoughts: a clashing of the positive and the negative, of idealist thoughts and realistic thoughts.
"The writing process was heavily emotional but fast – a purging of ideas and feelings. Paradise was written after what seemed like an endless news stream of young people losing their lives through gun violence and Little Earth was my wake-up call to becoming too focused on the negatives."

First Listen: The Autos – "Trespass" feat. Elliot Martin
By Dave Shiffman on Dec 30, 2020 •
The Autos · Trespass ft. Elliot Martin.wav
The Autos is comprised of Ian Gastl, Nick Wimer, Taylor Kaufman and Pancho Tranmer. Mixed by Ian Gastl, and mastered by Danny Kalb, the single was produced and recorded at The Autos' headquarters Turbo Snail Studios in the mile high city, Denver, CO.
American reggae trailblazers John's Brown Body may be on indefinite hiatus, but then, who isn't right now? Nevertheless, when the band made that announcement during the summer of 2016, many fans of modern reggae music winced at the news.
Thankfully, band members have been continuing to put out great music with other projects. Guitarist/singer Jay Spaker recently released his second awesome album as Double Tiger. Bass player Dan Africano has been laying down the low notes with jam band Ghost Light while continuing to bless us with reggae basslines as Death By Dub. Likewise, drummer Tommy Benedetti has been holding down the beat with Dub Apocalypse and Organically Good Trio. Keyboard player Jon Petronzio has his Road Man solo project while performing around his home base of Ithaca with funkmasters The Comb Down alongside trombone player TJ Schaper, who also has been playing with world music collective Nahko and Medicine for the People.
Last but not least, of course, JBB visionary and vocalist Elliot Martin recently collaborated with Iya Terra guitarist Nick Sefakis on a full-length album, and will be among the first reggae artists to put out new music in 2021 with his single, "Trespass," dropping on New Year's Day. However, reggae fans can hear the song today, right here, right now.
Martin's song will be the first release by The Autos, a Denver-based production group including former Tatanka vocalist/guitar player, Ian Gastl, Nick Wimer of local reggae rockers Project 432, former Tatanka guitar tech Pancho Tranmer and Taylor Kaufman, both of whom will be putting out music later this year as part of a new reggae outfit produced by Gastl called Massif.
"The Autos started as a way to create music with no boundaries, focused on collaboration culture and capturing moments in a studio atmosphere," Gastl described. "Not a band, but more so a production environment that is open to working with all types of artists and players." Asked why they decided to create music as a production team rather than as a band, Gastl said that they didn't want to pigeonhole themselves creatively and also wanted to give the group the opportunity to work with artists all over the world.
2020 has been a doozy for most people, but few more than Gastl, who, at the onset of the pandemic, was diagnosed with cancer.
"I was touring in Tatanka when I started experiencing pains above my stomach. Really, I chalked it up to bad lifestyle choices," Gastl said.
The pains got so bad while touring over the last three years that at times he could barely move. He would drink and party to dull the pain, but that just made things worse, causing friction with his band and of course, further damaging his health. Eventually, the demands of the band became too much given his compromised well being, so he decided to quit to focus on production work. He had aimed to get to the bottom of his symptoms, but put off seeking help because he was very scared of what the doctor was going to say. He continued to drink to numb his pains while producing a string of rap records, but he finally forced himself to go in for a scope after a trip to the mountains during which he could barely ski due to perpetual exhaustion, and having noticed that his skin was starting to turn yellow.
The doctor knew immediately that he had cancer. He was rushed into emergency surgery that Monday. He spent a week in the hospital, a stay that was cut in half due to Covid.
Now, nine months post surgery, he has only recently begun to feel "kind of normal again."
"When I was diagnosed it did not feel real at all. My world stopped," Gastl related. "Nothing really mattered anymore except health, family and music."
He immediately told himself that his lifestyle had to change if he wanted to live to have kids or experience grandchildren one day. "Family is super important to me, so I also stressed about how much they were hurting, knowing what I was going through."
The hardest part about all this was coming to terms with the fact that he has an incurable disease called Lynch Syndrome. "I'll be in and out of hospitals for the rest of my life, but if that means no more cancer, I'm fine with that."
For others going through similar challenges, Gastl recommends moving at whatever pace works for each individual, whether that means day by day or even minute by minute. "Rest when you need to rest, grind when you need to grind," he advised.
He also vouches for the power of positive thinking and said it helped to put his ordeal in perspective by considering the plights of others. "There is ALWAYS someone who is worse off than you. Know that we are on our own paths for a reason," he said.
With the worst of this frightening tribulation behind him, Gastl expressed his gratitude. "I feel so blessed to be alive and to work on records with my best friends and mentors like Elliot Martin. So lucky to take breath after breath."
Speaking of Martin, his tune premiering today as The Autos first single evokes the work of post-Kevin Kinsella John Brown's Body in a big way. This comes as no surprise, given the fact that Martin's unmistakable voice was at the forefront of their signature sound. While the tune is strongly reminiscent of his longtime band's output, notable differences include the addition of synthesizer to enhance bass tones, and the absence of the signature JBB horn section. Nevertheless, this bona-fide banger should please the JBB massive and fans of progressive reggae through and through, while propelling The Autos out of the gate with a burst and setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting 2021.
Lyrically, Martin uses his unique wordplay to call out the widespread greed and corruption plaguing our society today while at the same time bigging up reggae music as a voice of the people and a tool of rebellion, a classic characteristic of the genre that makes it even more endearing.
Gastl commented, "I think the lyrics are very relative to today's struggles. The United States is in a very fragile state. These are classic Elliot lyrics in my opinion. Speaking on uplifting and coming together but also not backing down to the people who are considered oppressors. We need unity while we also need action."
For their part, The Autos intend to put that action in motion by donating portions of proceeds from all releases to a charity in Denver that helps fund music education in Colorado public schools. Additionally, Gastl has dedicated all of their 2021 releases to two people who had been very influential to him over the years that recently passed: Drew Keys of Haze St. Studios and Common Kings and Dan Sherill, the well regarded South Dakota musician who garnered a lot of fans, friends and admirers in the American reggae rock community.
Keep an eye out for The Autos next record slated for February with Ruff Scott from Easy Star All Stars titled "Boom Shakalak."
