In a moment of pure inspiration the idea came to local guitar craftsmen Mark Iseman and Matthew Nigro of O'ahu-based Iseman Guitars: Creating handmade koa wood Weissenborn-style lap steel guitars would complete a circle because the tropical, bluesy sound of the steel guitar was born on O'ahu.
It's widely accepted that the lap steel guitar originated in Hawai'i in the late 1800s, with Island musicians laying their instruments across their laps and sliding bars over the strings to create the signature twang since embraced by many of the world's most accomplished guitarists: Ben Harper, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour (whom Iseman says is one of his favorites). By the 1920s, Los Angeles luthier Hermann Weissenborn had helped popularize the instrument, building Hawaiian- inspired steel guitars with a thick, hollow neck that provides extra resonance and creates support for playing the instrument horizontally. Iseman's and Nigro's version remains true to the exacting standards of craftsmanship that make 1920s-era Weissenborn koa guitars highly sought after by collectors.


COLUMBIA - Numbers released by the federal government show that Missourians will have fewer choices when it comes to health care policies under the Affordable Care Act.
The exchange, which will begin October 1st, will be run by the federal government. It will include four categories based on cost, bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
Collin McCarty, owner of Collin McCarty Insurance and Investment, is preparing for the many changes the health insurance exchange will bring. He says his clients may be a little more limited when it comes to choosing an insurance company.
"It certainly looks like there won't be as many carriers, when I say carriers, I mean insurance companies that are going to be participating in the exchange," said McCarty.
Insurance companies can do a group exchange or participate in the federal program. In a group exchange, the insurance is provided by an employer.
Some insurance companies will be excluded from the exchange. A complete list of companies has not been released, but Anthem BlueCross BlueShield is one company that will be included in the exchange. McCarty says fewer options for insurance policies mean less competition.
"I think the rates are going to go up a lot so...people who do pretty well making decent money and are younger, they could be in a pickle here, because their rates are going to go up a lot and they may not qualify for any subsidy," McCarty said.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, a family of four with a $50,000 income can expect premiums of $798 under the silver plan, but that cost could be $282 a month with subsidies.
The Health Insurance Marketplace web page says, "When you get health insurance coverage in the Marketplace, you may be able to get lower costs on monthly premiums. This depends on your income and family size."
The subsidy calculator will estimate the cost of insurance premiums and subsidies based on location, income and family size.


As an entrepreneur you do not want to worry about the risks that you run. Nevertheless, in addition to making a profit, you are also aiming for continuity. And every business has its own unique risk profile. The first step is to go through an awareness and risk analysis process with you so that you know your risks and their possible impact. This is followed by the management of the risks. Our first objective therefore is to find out more about your business and to help you identify the risks, after which we can discuss together how to bring your risks under control.
Using a practical risk analysis we can list the specific and significant risks of your company. Together with you we look at how your company can best deal with these risks. Are you focusing on the right risks? How can you decrease your risks? Are your preventive measures sufficient? Which risks can you bear yourself? Which risks do you wish or have to transfer by for example insuring them? We will regularly take time to reflect and re-evaluate the risks relating to your staff, equipment and assets.
Do you think that risk management will also benefit your company and guarantee its continuity? Would you like to receive further information regarding the risk analysis? Then please feel free to contact us. Phone or mail us.


The benefits of investing in your most promising and substantial client relationships are clear: engaged clients are more likely to embark on a genuine relationship path, they are more likely to use you for other services (and in other jurisdictions), they are more likely to refer work to you, and they can act as powerful ambassadors for your brand.
Why is it, then, that I still get asked questions by some of the smartest people I know about how to really develop relationships?
Relationships are, in their simplest form, just the way in which we interact with people. Yes, that interaction needs to be based on a few key principles and grounded in some common values, but it is not rocket science. It's not like we are surgeons performing a life-saving operation.
Or is it? If we don't open ourselves up to scrutiny (like a surgeon opens up a chest) and probe sensitive areas like how we currently work, our core 'health' and identify what's going to help us achieve our goal (like removing a diseased part of a lung), how can we engage properly with our clients? Like a skilled surgeon, we need to know our own business as well as that of our clients. We need to be able to talk about common ground, anticipate what the future holds and agree the best way to keep us both healthy.

These chewy fruit squares are vibrant with the fresh taste of mango. The mango pulp used in this recipe can be purchased frozen from a supermarket or can be made at home by briefly cooking and mashing fresh mango chunks. Make sure you measure the mango once it has been liquified, and not in chunk form.
1. Prepare an 8x8-inch square pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spraying the bottom with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cook mango pulp and sugar together in a medium saucepan over low heat until they form a very thick syrup. Depending on the thickness of your pulp, it will take between 30 minutes – 1 hour. The syrup should thickly coat the back of a spoon or spatula.
3. Once the syrup has thickened enough, add the butter and cook for 3 minutes more, stirring constantly.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the pectin while hot. Pour immediately into prepared pan.
5. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover pan with foil and refrigerate overnight until set.
6. Once the candies are completely set, cut them into small squares with a knife dipped in water. They can be rolled in granulated sugar or left plain. The sugar makes them easier to store and stack, as it prevents them from sticking together.
7. Candies can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Note: Pectin is a jelling agent often used in canning. It can be found in well-stocked supermarkets near the canning supplies or in the baking section.

Given the ongoing tenor of the political climate, an issue that we as educators face is how to apply the appropriate tact in handling sometimes sensitive and divisive issues, while advancing the lifelong learning of our students. Coming from a background in social studies, I have come to a singular truth regarding this: we will always have important conflicts with which we must struggle. Part of our nature is to inquisitively question ourselves, and the world around us. This reflection leads to dialogue with our peers, and is crucial to our understanding of world and our role within it. Lost in this shuffle, and imperative as we guide our students, is the value of humility. As educators, we must humble ourselves to the reality that what our students learn is more important than what we can teach. Fostering and cultivating an inquisitive nature is key to our students' ongoing pursuit of knowledge. However, in order to successfully guide our students to their own understandings, we must strive to listen, humbling ourselves in the process. What are our students struggling to say? How are they forming their conclusions? In a world mired by opinions and instant feedback, of comment sections and generalizations, it is our crucial mission to model our own expectations, to listen to understand as opposed to listening to respond, and to approach each student as a unique example of the human experience. Civility and understanding preside over relationships built on empathy, respect, and dignity. It is my hope that I am able to quiet myself, and always listen to the actions of others. They may be saying more than their words permit.
-A great resource in educational circles is the organization ASCD (Assessment and Curriculum Development). Common to its articles are research-based conclusions, delving into the myriad of topics in education.
-We will be having a school presentation from RIDOT on Monday, 10/30, focusing on the dangers of texting and driving (and safe driving practices).
-On Halloween, Tuesday, October 31, SADD (Students against Destructive Decisions) will be hosting a Halloween Costume Relay Race during last period of the day. Students who sign up for the event will be able to dress in costume, and participate in a festive relay race. We'd ask that no costumes be worn to school on that day. Students participating in the event will have time to change.
-On Thursday, November 30, we will be hosting our first ever SHS Showcase from 6-8 throughout the school. We invite members of the community and prospective students to attend this event, which will highlight all the great clubs, activities, academic work, and school engagement that SHS has to offer. Mark your calendars, and spread the word!
-We are pleased to announce that on Nov. 1, our in-school coffee shop, "On School Grounds, will be operational! This venture will be completely operated by our Academy of Finance students, giving them hands-on experience with running a business. Thank you to our Academy of Finance leadership for this exciting initiative!
-Congratulations to our social studies department chair, Mr. Vin Zibelli, on his appointment as Lincoln High's varsity baseball coach!
-Congratulations to Adam Spring, business department teacher and chairperson, as he coached the RIC Women's tennis team to an undefeated season and Little East Conference championship! Shout out to Emily Orticerio, SHS class of 2017, who is on the squad!
Congratulations to our SHS National Honor Society inductees, and thank you to Ms. DiSano and Ms. Witman for serving as advisors!

He was an illiterate Shiekh Noor-ud-Din Noorani RA popular as Nund Reshi or Alamdar-e- Kashmir was born in 1378 AD at Kaimuh a village in Anantnag district. When the people of valley were suffering and yet spontaneously uttered concise and rhythmic verses called 'Shruks' which are considered of high value in Kashmiri literature.

The road from Tsar e sharief to Yousmarg remains closed during the winters.
Islamabad, the second town in Kashmir,stands a few miles higher up the Jhelum from Bijbehara, just where the river narrows. It is the starting-point for the Verinag-Jummu route. At the foot of the hill, overlooking the town, there are numerous springs, and consequently remains of Mughal gardens. But only some Kashmiri pavilions, and the stone tanks which swarm with sacred carp are left. The direct road from Islamabad to Verinag Bagh, Nur-Jahan's favourite Kashmir garden, runs for nineteen miles across the rivers and the rice-fields and a very bad road it is. For the traffic of the country goes down the new Jhelum valley road by Baramulla and Domel, up over the Murree hill, and out to join the railway at Rawal Pindi. Now, if a river washes away a bridge or two between Islamabad and Verinag, no one hurries to replace it ; and the old road is left to the pilgrims from the plains or to stray travellers, such as the little company who gathered in the gardens at the northern foot of the Banihal Pass to spend, after the old fashion, the last hot weeks of June by the ice-cold holy spring. The previous autumn I had tried to reach the gardens and failed ; but on my second visit to Kashmir the journey was accomplished, and I and some friends arrived there at last.
Camped under the chenars of the ruined garden, where the pine forest runs down a steep limestone spur to the tank in which the spring rises, it is easy to understand the romantic charm of Verinag (the secret spring, the supposed source of the Jhelum, " the snake recoiled," as the literal translation runs) and the spell which held Jahangir and Nur-Mahal in their palace by the bright blue-green pool, where the largest of the sacred carp bore the Queen's inscriptions on gold rings placed through their gills. On the cold mountain pass above, Jahangir died ; leaving a last request that he might be brought back and buried by the spring. But as we have seen, his wishes were set aside; the courtiers no doubt were frightened by the approach of winter, and the danger of the passes being closed ; and the Court continued their journey south- wards, carrying the dead Emperor down to Lahore. The octagonal tank built round the spring is designed to form the centre of the palace buildings. No omrah's house at Delhi was complete without its fountain court, and the same idea is carried out on the grandest scale for the Emperor's palace at Verinag. Round the reservoir there are twenty-four arched recesses still roofed over, some containing small stairways 'which led to the rooms above; and the few carved stones of the cornice that are left show how fine the building must have been. The current rushes out through the large arched crypt on the north side, flowing under the chief fagade of the house. The stream, flashing through the gloom, lights up the dark arches with a flickering green magic like a mermaid's cave, beyond which lies the serene upper world of the sunlit watercourt.
The palace is built on a succession of small arches extending across the width of the first terrace.Only the lower story is left, the rest of the building having been destroyed by a fire a few years ago. A road and an ugly rubble wall shut out the terrace and turfed wooden bridges across the canals, and spoil the whole effect, which must have been most impressive when the palace walls formed the southern garden boundary, backed by the dark pines on the cliff behind the spring. The main canal is about twelve feet wide, and is crossed by a second watercourse running immediately under the building. The garden has been a large one, although it is somewhat difficult to make out the whole plan. At present the first terrace is alone enclosed, but a broken water-chute leads to a lower level, and a big hummum with stone-edged platforms and other buildings can be traced on the east side.
For those who feel the charm of solitude in a beautiful setting, Verinag Bagh is still an enchanting place to pass the early summer days. So at least we found it ; reading, writing, and painting under the fruit trees, or ensconced in latticed summer-houses built across the stream, where straggling Persian rose-bushes scented the garden with their soft pink blooms. Early every morning the Brahmins in charge of the spring came to gather the flowers to decorate their shrine. Later in the day, a school of small boys were usually busy at work in the shade of a large chenar, or were drawn up in line for a diving lesson, learning to swim with merry splashings in the clear, fast-flowing stream. At noon even the shady garden grows too hot ; and then the alcoves round the tank prove a welcome refuge, the icy water making the temperature of the surrounding court some degrees cooler than elsewhere. From the curiously vivid green depths of the tank an emerald flash lights up a polished black marble slab let into the walls, revealing Jahangir's inscription : " The King raised this building to the skies : the angel Gabriel suggested its date 1609." The mason's tablet on the west side, erected seven years later, on the completion of the work, runs : " God be praised ! What a canal and what a waterfall ! Constructed by Haider, by order of the King of the World, the Paramount Lord of his Age, this canal is a type of the canal in the Paradise, this waterfall is the glory of Kashmir." Brave words these, but no doubts troubled Haider a master-builder sure of his patron and his own skill. A Hindu shrine is set up in one of the arches where the marigolds and rosebuds wreath the drab plaster walls. Pink indigo bushes and lilac wild -flowers flourish on the earthen roofs, and grow between the grey cornice stones; behind which the giant poplars whisper rest- lessly in the lightest breeze ; while over the close, delicate, northern harmonies the pine woods brood sombre and remote. Then with a sudden burst of sound and colour, a band of newly- arrived pilgrims flock in to make their puja at the shrine. The sacred fish are fed, roses are lung into the reservoir, the pradakshina is performed. Three times round the tank they go in their saffron, mauve, and marigold robes, and the water glitters bright with all the brilliance of the hot southern plains.
Situated in the heart of Bringhi valley, Kokernag , is set amidst sprawling gardens fragrant with the bloom of thousands of flowers. The Kokernag spring bubbles at seven places at the foot of the forested mountain. The water of the spring is famous for its medicinal and digestive properties.
Situated at a height of 2,020 m, Kokernag is approximately 70 km from the district of Srinagar. Blooming gardens surround this spring, which bubbles at seven places at the foot of the forested mountain. The water of Kokernag in Kashmir is believed to have medicinal and digestive properties. And because of these properties only, the spring is also known as Papashudan Nag or the sin-cleansing spring. There is also a botanical garden and a rose garden near Kokernag, overflowing with fragrances of flowers and shrubs. Kokarnag is also the largest fresh water spring of the Kashmir valley. The word Kokernag is a combination of the two words, Koker meaning 'fowl' and Nag meaning 'serpent'. Kokernag is a collection of many small springs and collectively, they all look like the claw foot of a Koker (cock). And the flowing stream resembles a moving serpent. Hence, the name "Kokernag". The spring of Kokernag comprise of 300 canals, 129 canals for garden purposes and 171 canals for forest area.
Home to a spring with magical, curative powers, a tour to Kokernag is one of the most popular weekend getaways from Srinagar. Located at an altitude of around 2012 meters above sea level, tour to Kokernag also reveals some of the other treasures of this important tourist destination of Jammu and Kashmir. The moment you enter the green valley of Kokernag, you are welcomed by the cool and fragrant air of the mountains, an air that brings with it the perfume of the blossoming flowers which you see all around this picturesque valey. Perhaps the most important tourist attraction of a tour to Kokernag is the Papashudan Nad, the magical and curative spring which draws thousands of tourists to the valley each year. Home to the largest fresh water spring in Kashmir, Kokernag is known for its collection of springs, which in totality produce an image of the claws of a "Koker" or a cock, a trait to which the vale owes its name. Blessed with rich a soil which promotes the growth of several varieties of plants and flowers, a tour to Kokernag is made even more perfect by the presence of a number of accommodation options in the region.

Hundreds of Naperville Township residents packed the Naperville Township Road District building for the annual town hall meeting held Tuesday night.
The Naperville Township highway commissioner said Tuesday night that he longed for the wisdom of biblical King Solomon as he considers whether to contract with the city of Naperville to manage 16 to 20 miles of unincorporated township road.
"The decision to accept or reject, this decision is mine and mine alone," said Stan Wojtasiak, who received a standing ovation, whoops and whistles as he stood before the crowd of hundreds that packed the cavernous Naperville Township Road District building for the township's annual town hall meeting.
"It's something that has to be done through compromise and negotiation," Wojtasiak said. "It may take a week, it may take a month, it may take a year."
The town hall meeting is an annual event at which residents are invited to give presentations, make comments, take votes and question their elected township leaders about the goings-on in township government.
Tuesday, however, it became something of a rally in support of the embattled highway commissioner and against Naperville's request to assume responsibility for the township's unincorporated roads. According to the city's proposal, those nearly 20 miles would be added to the city's 500 so that costs to taxpayers could be reduced by perhaps as much as 43 percent.
Wojtasiak was scheduled to meet with city officials this week.
Stan Wojtasiak, Naperville Township highway commissioner, speaks to the crowd gathered at a town hall meeting on April 12, 2016. Assessor Warren Dixon III, left, and township supervisor Rachel Ossyra, right, are seated next to him.
Naperville Township encompasses about 34,000 residential properties and about 900 that are unincorporated. All property owners, both in the city and outside of it, pay an average $57 annual tax to maintain the nearly 20 miles of unincorporated roads, according to city figures.
But most in Tuesday's crowd spoke out against the city's proposal, expressing their fears of reduced service, "taxation without representation" and the accuracy of Naperville's financial calculations. Under the city's proposal, brush collection would be less frequent and complimentary mulch would not be delivered, among other changes.
"We feel the pain of city residents who used to get the services that we get," said Green Acres resident Steve Grobl, who is helping Wojtasiak in his negotiations. "We do feel you're underserved and overcharged in the city."
Others took the matter personally.
"The city of Naperville has been known as a friendly town and has not shown this ugly character before," unincorporated resident Jack Flowers said.
But a few wondered what all the fuss was about, and why the city's proposal shouldn't be considered if it might save taxpayers money.
"I'm really pleased with city services. Honestly, I can't see much difference," said Jeff Davis, who has lived in both incorporated and unincorporated Naperville.
If the city of Naperville takes over maintenance of unincorporated Naperville Township roads, the township would keep its equipment and facilities in case the deal doesn't work out, city officials said Tuesday.
Toward the end of the more than three-hour meeting, remaining residents voted 46-42 not to allow Naperville's mayor or general manager, who were in the audience, to speak or answer questions about the plan in front of the crowd. Under town hall rules, only those who live within Naperville Township are allowed to present without a vote from residents at the meeting. Both city officials reside in Naperville but within a different township.
Some also grilled township elected officials as to whether they had relatives who worked for the city, and if they would unconditionally support Wojtasiak's final decision on contracting city services, whatever that might be.
"I will absolutely back what comes out of a good faith negotiation," responded township Supervisor Rachel Ossyra, who said she does not have family members working for the city of Naperville.


Al-Qaeda terrorists came within 45 days of attacking the New York subway system with a lethal gas similar to that used in Nazi death camps. They were stopped not by any intelligence breakthrough, but by an order from Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman Zawahiri. And the U.S. learned of the plot from a CIA mole inside al-Qaeda. These are some of the more startling revelations by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind, whose new book The One Percent Doctrine is excerpted in the forthcoming issue of TIME. It will appear on Time.com early Sunday morning.
U.S. intelligence got its first inkling of the plot from the contents of a laptop computer belonging to a Bahraini jihadist captured in Saudi Arabia early in 2003. It contained plans for a gas-dispersal system dubbed "the mubtakkar" (Arabic for inventive). Fearing that al-Qaeda's engineers had achieved the holy grail of terror R&D — a device to effectively distribute hydrogen-cyanide gas, which is deadly when inhaled — the CIA immediately set about building a prototype based on the captured design, which comprised two separate chambers for sodium cyanide and a stable source of hydrogen, such as hydrochloric acid. A seal between the two could be broken by a remote trigger, producing the gas for dispersal. The prototype confirmed their worst fears: "In the world of terrorist weaponry," writes Suskind, "this was the equivalent of splitting the atom. Obtain a few widely available chemicals, and you could construct it with a trip to Home Depot — and then kill everyone in the store."
The device was shown to President Bush and Vice President Cheney the following morning, prompting the President to order that alerts be sent through all levels of the U.S. government. Easily constructed and concealed, the device ensured that mass casualties would be inevitable if it could be triggered in any enclosed public space.
Having discovered the device, exposing the plot in which it might be used became a matter of extreme urgency. Although the Saudis were cooperating more than ever before in efforts to track down al-Qaeda operatives in the kingdom, the interrogations of suspects connected with the Bahraini on whose computer the Mubtakkar was discovered were going nowhere. The U.S. would have to look elsewhere.
Conventional wisdom has long held that the U.S. has no human intelligence assets inside al-Qaeda. "That is not true," writes Suskind. Over the previous six months, U.S. agents had been receiving accurate tips from a man the writer identifies simply as "Ali," a management-level al-Qaeda operative who believed his leaders had erred in attacking the U.S. directly. "The group was now dispersed," writes Suskind. "A few of its leaders and many foot soldiers were captured or dead. As with any organization, time passed and second-guessing began."
And when asked about the mubtakkar and the names of the men arrested in Saudi Arabia, Ali was aware of the plot. He identified the key man as bin Laden's top operative on the Arabian Peninsula, Yusuf al Ayeri, a.k.a. "Swift Sword," who had been released days earlier by Saudi authorities, unaware that al-Ayeri was bin Laden's point man in the kingdom.
Ali revealed that Ayeri had visited Ayman Zawahiri in January 2003, to inform him of a plot to attack the New York City subway system using cyanide gas. Several mubtakkars were to be placed in subway cars and other strategic locations. This was not simply a proposal; the plot was well under way. In fact, zero hour was only 45 days away. But then, for reasons still debated by U.S. intelligence officials, Zawahiri called off the attack. "Ali did not know the precise explanation why. He just knew that Zawahiri had called them off."
The news left administration officials gathered in the White House with more questions than answers. Why was Ali cooperating? Why had Zawahiri called off the strike? Were the operatives who were planning to carry out the attack still in New York? "The CIA analysts attempted answers. Many of the questions were simply unanswerable."
One man who could answer them was al-Ayeri — but he was killed in a gun battle between Saudi security forces and al-Qaeda militants who had launched a mini-insurrection to coincide with the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Suskind quotes a CIA operative as questioning whether it was an accident that the Saudis had killed the kingpin who could expose a cell planning a chemical weapons attack inside the U.S. "The Saudis just shrugged," the source tells Suskind. "They said their people got a little overzealous."


The US currently has a little over 1 GW of installed battery storage capacity and could have more than 7 GW of utility-scale and grid-connected battery storage operating by 2022, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics' most recent US Power Storage Outlook.
Lithium-ion battery prices have sharply declined in recent years driven by steadily expanding manufacturing capacity, which has led to economies of scale and improved learning. That learning curve is expected to continue as battery companies are planning a six-fold manufacturing capacity increase by 2023.
Over the medium to longer term, Platts Analytics anticipates that mass-market electric vehicle adoption will continue to drive battery costs down despite concerns around raw material prices. Lithium-ion battery prices are expected to decline 40% by 2025, making it difficult for other technologies such as flow-batteries to compete, particularly for shorter durations.
One potential battery storage deployment growth metric lies in the interconnection queues maintained by each wholesale power market operator, known as independent system operators (ISO) or regional transmission organizations (RTO). Any resource that wants to connect to a regional power grid must progress through a formal interconnection process. Not every resource will ultimately connect to the grid, but the queues provide a view of the level of market participants' interest in storage.
Battery capacity in RTO/ISO interconnection queues more than doubled in 2018, surpassing 30 GW of capacity. The largest queued capacities are in the California ISO (CAISO), supported by storage mandates, and in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), where several large solar-PV-with-battery projects entered the queue in 2018.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) energy storage order 841 will impact the volume of wholesale power market energy storage participation over the longer term, but the impact is expected to vary by region.
The ISOs filed plans with FERC detailing market rule changes that would allow energy storage resources to participate in regional power markets on a level playing field with other resources. FERC is reviewing the proposals that were filed in December.
Market observers were initially concerned that a 10-hour participation requirement for storage in PJM Interconnection's proposal would limit the ability of battery storage to engage. PJM Interconnection is an RTO whose territory spans a number of states in the eastern US.
However, president and CEO Andy Ott explained in a recent interview that changes to its energy and reserves markets are expected, to allow storage resources to earn the bulk of their revenue from those market segments. The 10-hour requirement only applies to the capacity market, which is not ideal for storage resource participation, according to Ott.
Outside those regions covered by RTOs/ISOs, several utilities have announced plans to procure battery storage as part of their Integrated Resource Plan processes. Portland General Electric recently announced a first-of-a-kind combined facility with 300 MW of wind, 50 MW of solar PV and 30 MW of batteries. And Arizona Public Service Company in February said it plans to add 850 MW of battery storage and at least 100 MW of new solar generation by 2025.
Platts Analytics estimates that solar PV with storage will become increasingly competitive with natural gas peaking plants in regions with high solar resources.

I desire to be married one day and I would love to know how I can be preparing now for that commitment. Any advice?
As I've now been married for two years, I've come to realize that my preparation for being a wife began long before the day I got married — the Lord had been working in me for years before I even met my husband. And although I'm not a perfect wife, the Lord has been so faithful to help me be true to the vows I made to be a loving, faithful, and submissive wife. As I reflect on my own journey, I'd like to share a few marriage preparation tips that I hope will be helpful to you!
When I got married, my eyes were opened to the grandeur of Christ's love for the Church as I was loved by my husband and as I watched him lay down his life for me. I also grasped a vision for what it looks like to love Christ as I was called to walk in love toward my husband, daily dying to my selfish desires. True godly love won't just "happen" when we enter into marriage. It's not based on feelings. It is based upon denying self and embracing the grace to love as He loved.
As you prepare for marriage, prepare by laying down your life daily before God and those around you. Love God and love the people He has placed in your life, counting not your life dear to yourself but expendable to Christ to be used for His glory.
Faithfulness to your future husband begins with faithfulness to God.
Faithfulness isn't glamorous and it doesn't make the headlines. Faithfulness is consistency in the seemingly mundane. Yes, marriage is exciting and full of joy, but it is also full of the ordinary and when the excitement of the honeymoon dies down and we are confronted with laundry and grocery shopping — what will the state of our heart be? Will we be found rejoicing in the simple tasks of serving our husband? Or will we be searching for the next thing to bring excitement to life?
The temptation facing many young women today is to always seek the next exciting thing, the next adventure, the next spiritual high. What would it look like to embrace the work of God in the ordinary and daily responsibilities? When we cultivate faithfulness now in the things pertaining to our relationship with Christ and in the rigors of daily life, we will be preparing for the faithfulness that is required in marriage. Cultivating faithfulness is vital because marriage is a covenant made until "death do us part" — not to be taken lightly and then annulled when something more exciting comes along.
In my first years of marriage, I've come to marvel at the beauty of God's ways and the blessing and protection found in embracing His pattern for me as a wife: "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord" (Eph. 5:22). Are you ready to submit to your husband? Are you ready to yield even when your flesh rebels? How are you doing in obedience to the Lord?
The Lord has given us commandments in His Word. Do you know what He commands? Are you obeying and submitting to His Word?
This is where marriage preparation begins for you, friend — submitting to the Lord, long before you walk down an aisle to your waiting groom. A young woman who is walking in submission to God is a young woman who is being prepared to walk alongside her husband in a biblical way.
Maybe you are on the brink of marriage or maybe it seems to be years away in the future. Regardless of what season of life you are in, it is never too early to begin to cultivate these things in your daily life and relationship with Christ.
Ladies, these things are impossible to achieve in your own strength and outside of the grace of God. Each one of these preparations will bring you to the end of yourself and straight to the feet of Jesus. And it is in that place that we will find the grace to be faithful and true — first and foremost to Christ and then to our husband in the covenant of marriage.
Allow the Lord to begin working these things in you, and one day when you stand before a congregation of witnesses and enter into the covenant of marriage, you will be equipped by the Lord to be loving, faithful, and submissive to your husband in the same way that you have been walking in love, faithfulness, and submission to your Lord.

Some of us had never seen Lee Breuer, who died January 3, working without a stocking cap—but what is probably most surprising is that we saw a playwright, this hands-on, at all. In 2010, upon early audience entry, at New York Theatre Workshop, he clarified tech, behind a huge plywood board, for his double-bill of monologues Pataphysics Penyeach ("Summa Dramatica" and"Porco Morto"). In 2013, with La Divina Caricatura, Part 1: The Shaggy Dog, at La MaMa, there was a question as to whether he might even be seen, as press performances were canceled due to his illness. He appeared, hustling through the impersonal subway tracks of the set, though, where a dog had been abandoned. That animal, Rose, a puppet, also the star of the show, caused a visceral reaction, when she began eating "poop," a polite way of naming the grotesque situation—one this reviewer categorized as an aberrant absurdist element, while still shuddering. Much later, now the owner of two Jack Russell terriers, one who had been deserted on a highway in South Carolina, the truth of the writing emerged. Although our dogs are now ensconced in Massachusetts during the pandemic, for several years, Breuer remained on my mind often, his visual observation about pets acute, disgusting, and pervasive.
He was part of the East Village zeitgeist—I should say he was our Peter Brook. Mabou Mines offered performance based on hard theatrical theory and experience, not simple propaganda, although clearly leftist. Breuer volunteered at the Berliner Ensemble, under Communism, worked with Grotowski, adapted Beckett, and more, to give his work an international edge. It's impossible to think of the American avant-garde, without him. Tracking our way back from the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, along Seventh Avenue to Forty-Second Street, in 1988, someone, talking about the chorus, was saying how you weren't "going to ask those big, mature Black women to do a lot of choreography," as we understood musicals then, when someone noted the stately stage progressions, in The Gospel at Colonus. The voices moved the audience, and caused them to dance, instead. Lee Breuer was, almost inarguably, America's finest theatre practitioner at the end of the twentieth century and early twenty-first, mainstream or otherwise. His aesthetic was so fully formed, centered, and grounded, in fact, that it seems an injustice to say that he was an experimental director. It's better to describe him as a seminal one.
In a July 2020 Zoom interview from Segal Talks, hosted by Frank Hentschker, with Maude Mitchell, Breuer macrocosmically talked about playwriting, music:
"I wanted to get this feeling of everyone contributing their melody to a larger whole, and that there would be a form that would arise from it. I think music is the key to it. I think if we can feel that all the currents–political, aesthetic—are joining together to make a statement–and if you can discern what that statement is–that you will have achieved a tremendous revelation about what our times and what our lives now are all about."
Breuer's statements could expose internal horror about the American and human condition, combining humor with the monstrous, as he did with Pataphysics Penyeach, which used children's storybook and cartoon characters facing contemporary political and sociological existence. Back in 2010, he seemed to pinpoint how we had been overwhelmed by the technological: "Reality is not real," a distinguished professor, a cow, tells us "—it's virtual." The play demonstrated a "spin" on French symbolist writer Alfred Jarry's pataphysics (a "send up of metaphysics").
According to Breuer, in a 2007 video conversation at Towson University, theatre only exists half the time on the stage; the other half takes place in the head. The viewer is choosing the play's message after "balancing the work's thesis and antithesis." The synthesizing process is apparent in a work like Pataphysics Penyeach because, through the ridiculous and cerebral, one attempts to decipher the meaning, to make sense of the divergent inputs, holding on in the hope of unmasking the secret of the piece. Steadily looking for metaphor, in "Porco Morto," the second one act in the evening, Breuer turned the concept of "capitalist pigs" into a playlet about a piglet, who talks like Porky Pig.
For those drawn to the stage of Lee Breuer, part of its appeal must be his interest in the viewer as thinker, not simply as blank page—he was an intellectual theorist himself, not only a defender of theory, whether Marxist, Feminist, Market, or other. Breuer's is a formidable intelligence to be openly missed; irreplaceable, still to be reckoned with, and learned from.
Don't cover it up.

Two Breuer Reviews from Stage Voices:
LEE BREUER: 'LA DIVINA CARICATURA' (REVIEW)
Posted: 27 Dec 2013 07:22 PM PST
The most beautiful woman in New York theatre this season is not Rachel Weisz, Felicia Boswell, Laura Osnes, or Anne-Marie Duff (OK, relax Kinky Boots, we'll name Billy Porter, too). Instead, she's a mutt, named Rose (Bernadine Mitchell), the central character of Lee Breuer's La Divina Caricatura, Part 1: The Shaggy Dog. That Rose is part of a puppet ensemble, may even complicate the eligibility of my candidate, but I can say that she brings deep, universal issues, concerning identity, to meditate on and that, unlike Miss Piggy, she is not involved in a project for children (note director Breuer's anatomically incorrect dolls, adult content, and mature situations: "I slipped out of my collar"; "I wee-wee'd on the futon"; "Let's drop some acid"). Rose, rather, has earned her right to our choice through her abandonments, abuses, and co-dependencies—by this writing, the short run of her show is even over (it closed December 22 at La Mama). Her plot is said to draw upon the Hindu Mahabharata: but no one needs to know anything about the Indian epic to enter into and be nourished by this play (it seems impossible to imagine that the show wouldn't be performed again in New York sometime by somebody, too).
Lee Breuer is, almost inarguably, America's finest current theatre practitioner, mainstream or otherwise. His aesthetic is so fully formed, centered, and grounded, in fact, that, at this point, it seems an injustice to say that he is an experimental director. It's better to describe him as a seminal one, who most of the time (I've only ever seen him in the winter, actually) happens to wear a stocking cap, hoodie, and sneakers; still tinkering with his stage a few minutes before curtain. His texts ask us to unpack a major metaphor or build a pivotal simile (we'll be working with smaller ones along the way, too); he asks us to figure them out, as if we are participating in the explication of a living poem. It is a challenging and absorbing theatre idea and game, and viewers get the gradual feeling that they're subconsciously putting together a puzzle. The writing may be witty, psychoanalytic, stream of conscious, rap, punning, philosophic, or banal—Breuer thinks that to see beauty one must also know what's ugly, violent, and coarse (as a kid, he must have been the one noticing the iridescent colors of oil or gasoline in a roadside puddle). This is often leavened, during La Divina Caricatura, by Lincoln Schleifer's fabulous '60s-sounding music; this show is a musical, too, often sung by thrilling trios of male (The Poppers) and female (The Wild Women) doo-wop and soul singers (who give solos and sing as a group, as well). The background band needs mention, too–the professionalism of extremely fine musicians taking us from jazz to tangos to cha-chas. One song, written as Rose is taken for a walk at the end of act one, ends far too soon; it's so relaxed, free, and joyous; would that it had never stopped. The "found objects" set design, which unfolds from a subway station to LAX, a rabbit hole, and beyond, is by Alison Yerxa.
Of course, it is possible to mistake puppets for human beings here, and vice versa, and much of this amazing feat is owed to the puppeteers working under the direction of Jessica Scott. No one, however, can mistake the imprimatur of Breuer, who has been evolving the vision of La Divina Caricatura since 1979. Similarly, like the actresses mentioned at the beginning of this review, no one is quite as extraordinary as the divine Ms. Mitchell, who, through song or dialogue, can instantaneously turn a word into feeling. She convinces us that even mundane thoughts really are things, which can, and probably must, be transcended and changed, especially in a world that has gone to the dogs.

LEE BREUER: 'PATAPHYSICS PENYEACH' (REVIEW)
Pataphysics anyone?
In Absurdist theatre the emphasis is placed on behavior—witness Ionesco's bourgeois dullards in The Bald Soprano, for example, or, in several of Tina Howe's plays, characters fixated on making art. Lee Breuer, however, isn't much interested in that (his stationary cast might be headed by a puppet or be used to play the back end of a farm animal). Unlike those of the other playwright's mentioned, his characters' communication faculties don't fail either. Animals they may be, but they're articulate and cogent, even if what they're examining–the monstrous human soul–is a place where we're more likely to meet an anime figure rather than God. Breuer's double bill of monologues, Pataphysics Penyeach, currently at New York Theatre Workshop through January 31, is an example of a rarely used style giving due to the space beyond the metaphysical ('Pataphysics, defined by Webster's, is Jarry's notion—"expounded upon by other French absurdist writers as a parody of modern science"). Even if they're only metaphors, though, these creations are free to formulate their own worlds. For example, if one were to conjecture that American society was inhabited by capitalist pigs (not so unusual a sentiment from the Left)–a character might turn out to be a literal swine, which is exactly the state of affairs in the second one act here, Porco Morto. Given that it is 2010 and the U.S., with a collapsing newspaper industry, is in recession–it is not very strange that we're presented with a depressed reader of The New York Times (Greg Mehrten), albeit one that stutters, as if Porky Pig had been sent to Harvard.
In both monologues, Breuer is examining the cartoon within, or cartoon as soul—in the first, an academician, who happens to be a cow, and whose top-half is played with incise professorial hauteur by Obie winner Ruth Maleczech, tells us that the "psyche lives in limbus." She asks, "What is God's action?" and tells us that "Reality is not real—it's virtual." "If it works" she also contends, "it must be unreal." The plays are free-floating Rorschach tests–acted by performers of immense focus and stamina–where we analyze our responses to a daffy mindstream taken perfectly seriously. The mashed combination of scientific theory, acting technique, and Eastern thought may be profound or inconsequential: we decide. I can tell you several places where I thought Breuer wasn't playing with our minds, though. One was where, bewildered, his character wonders why writers who go to the theatre see themselves as reviewers and not reporters. And the other is the finality of his observation: "Truth is not beautiful."
The evening is fun and horrific, intellectual and sophomoric, coarse and rich—but what else would one expect when exposing the mind to the ridiculous? It's also rather freeing to disconnect from the patterns that the entire society has taken up as we toggle from Twitter to Facebook, the Drudge Report to blogs. Maybe this is where theatre can become relevant again—in its ability to circuit break virtual reality, which only seems to be making us more conformist. Society and our humanity have devolved and been reduced Breuer seems to be saying; more than ever, we're all been dumbed down. On the freezing night I saw Pataphyscis Penyeach, the East Village was especially deserted. One of the waiters at Gandhi restaurant on East 6th Street, where several other Indian restaurants have recently closed, said, "Times are tough." Having just come out of the play, more reporter than critic, I extended the metaphor, "These are tough times for the American mind, too."

← LOST IN 2020: EPIC SHAKESPEARE, AND THE THEATER THAT PLANNED IT ROBOT WARS: 100 YEARS ON, IT'S TIME TO REBOOT KAREL ČAPEK'S 'RUR' →


Liane de Pougy was one of Paris's most famous courtesans. She was famous and rich. Men were putting at her feet millions of francs worth of jewelry, on a whim. She married Romanian Prince George Ghica when she was fourty-one, and she never looked back.
I didn't know what to expect when I started to read the notebooks. Superficiality and vanity? There is plenty of that. Liane is preoccupied at large extend with her clothes (she mentions over and over again the large sums of money spent on different outfits and fabrics and she describes some of them in detail). She is also caught up in the pride derived from her beauty and grace, which she is certain she still possesses until the end, although it is true that she mostly just mentions it as a simple matter of fact.
She reads a lot and keeps company with literary figures of the time, like Colette, Jean Cocteau and Max Jacob. She loves her husband which doesn't put an end to her affection for Natalie Barney as well as a few other women. And all this time she looks for forgiveness, she repents, she wants to wash out her previous life, which never ceases to follow her. She turns to religion, in which she finds consolation and answers, a promise of forgiveness, of real change.
She is fifty when she begins writing her notebooks, so the Liane that comes to life in these pages is obviously transformed by age and largely different in thinking from what she might have been in her early years as one of the most precious beauties of Paris.
The notebooks and her own path become really interesting when she finds an institution for children with disabilities that shakes her to the core. From that moment on she decides that she has a purpose, a mission in life: to help these children have a better life. She considers that "her work" and she dedicates her energy and passion to it.
She is a victim of her time, her beauty, fashion and society, but she is also a product of her own thinking. Although most of the time Liane de Pougy seems lost in the small pleasures of life (physical love, food, beauty) and self-infatuated, she is a genuine searcher for the truth and that transpires clearly in these journals. That's what kept me reading.

Q: JQuery and RadioButtons question I have a table containing radiobuttons (i.e. 3x3 grid) and I want when I select one of them the  containing the radiobutton to change colour. Following this example I did this

        Some text
        <input type="radio" name="some-name" />

        Some text
        <input type="radio" name="some-name" />

and the javascript
$(':radio').change(function() {
    $('.color-1').removeClass('color-1');
    var $td = $(this).parent('td');
    if (this.checked) {
        $td.addClass('color-1');
    } else {
        $td.removeClass('color-1');
    }
});

this works well on firefox. but on internet explorer it colors the previously selected
So if I select 1,1 it stays white but when I select 1,2 then 1,1 turns blue and so on.
Any ideas?

A: IE (all versions) have a really buggy implementation of the onChange event on checkboxes and radio buttons.
You have to use the onClick event if you want to provide a solid cross-browser behaviour.
See this link for more info.

A: apparently this can be solved with using
$(':radio').click(function() ...

instead of the .change. at least in terms of compatibility with ie.
anyone has a clue why change fails or most probably what I do wrong?

...really is my favourite month.
The weather in Delhi is beautiful. As I sit here and type, it's a sunny Saturday afternoon and there is a delightful breeze, coming in through the open door at my mom's place. The only thing missing today is Vijay's presence. As sucky as it is to have only two Saturdays off in a month, Vijay has it worse with only one Saturday off!
Anyway, so February is great. It's not just the weather. Many other little things, like the inevitable surprise party around my birthday ( I mean, let's face it - I know I'm getting too old for this stuff, but it's a fun tradition) ; our marriage anniversary ( has it really been six years?) and other assorted things that make it the most pleasant month of the year.
Coming back to the Saturday thing - I really have realized that Saturday is an incredibly important day, and not just to chill out- it's more to do with finishing off your chores and getting some peace of mind and some time to unwind. So the couple of weekends that I get which actually do have Saturdays off, are rather precious.
I took the opportunity to take Peanut off for a doctor's visit - and an immunization which I realized with some guilt, was two weeks overdue. This time round, she started crying as soon as she saw the doctor, clearly associating his presence with the inevitable jab in her thigh. I felt really bad for her, but had a series of questions to ask him. The exercise was pointless because I was distracted by her crying while asking, and so was he, while answering. Taking her outside of the room ( the K was with me) didn't help either because on weekends, nothing the K tries can distract Peanut's attention from me. Eventually, the doctor suggested we just get the injection over with and stop torturing Peanut, and I agreed. It was over in a flash, but her anger lasted a lot longer.
I remembered that right after she was born, the same doctor was trying to give me some instructions on her care, and I was a little distracted, and hoping that he would start addressing those instructions to Vijay instead. He chided me, asking 'Who is the primary caregiver?'. Naturally, this annoyed me and I pointed to Vijay, saying 'Him'. The doctor was not amused and neither was I. Anyway, 19 months later, here we were again - I've been thinking of finding a doctor closer to our place (and perhaps closer to our generation), but again, that's something I haven't got around to doing yet.
Vijay and I took Peanut to Nirula's a couple of days back - she loves the place, and associates it immediately with ice-cream, and walks around dripping Butterscotch crunch all over the place. She also loves the tiny chairs they have for kids and deposits herself on her favourite blue one very regally. We have a bit of an issue while trying to leave, though - largely, because she doesn't want to and has to be dragged out, kicking and screaming.
Ok, the weather really is too tempting to be sitting indoors and blogging. I'm going to grab myself an after-lunch piece of gur ( don't you just love gur? I do) and contemplate my existence on the sunny spot on the front steps.
Yes. I love February. And Saturdays.
hope you had a lovely saturday.
How old is peanut? If old enough to go to school than you must encourage her to score above a 90% to be Nirula's scholar and avail a free hot chocolate fudge from Nirula's.
If I got it right, both your birthday and marriage anniversary fall in Feb right?
if it makes you feel any better, we were late too!
and Cubby too this time was awfullt clingy as soon as we entered the dpc's room! and if looks could kill, the compunder who help his legs while doc jabbed the needle would be long dead!
and did you take peanut to the zoo? how did she like it?
