Серёдка — село в Псковском районе Псковской области России. Административный центр Серёдкинской волости Псковского района. До 1916 года именовалось Маслогостицы — это название осталось закреплённым за бывшей железнодорожной станцией, ныне деревней Маслогостицы в 4 км к югу.

Расположено в 42 км к северу от Пскова.

В селе действует средняя общеобразовательная школа. Основные места работы жителей села — исправительно-трудовая колония строгого режима и психоневрологический интернат .

Население

История
В истории известно, как село (или как погост) Маслогостицы, именовавшееся так до 1916 года.

В писцовой книге 1585-1587 годов в Мыслогостицкой губе Кобыльского уезда упоминается погост с церковью Николая Чудотворца. В межевых книгах 1786 года местность в окружении села также называлась Маслогостицкой губой.

В XIX веке при Николаевской церкви в Маслогостицах ещё имелся колокол времен Иоанна Грозного с текстом: «Лета 7065(1553), марта в 30 день, Божиею милостию, слит бысть колокол при царе и Великом Князе Иване Васильевиче Всея Руси и при Архиепископе Пимене великого Новгорода и Пскова. Лил Стефан Лаврентьев сын.», а на иконе Николая Чудотворца существовала надпись, относящаяся к началу XVII века.

Находившаяся в Маслогостицах до 1858 деревянная церковь была устроена в 1615 Сергием Гурьевым Воронцовым, а в 1699 женою Никиты Воронцова, Мариею Даниловною, поновлены в ней иконы. В 1856 деревянная церковь уничтожена и заложен новый каменный храм; в 1858 году 20 декабря он освящен благочинным гдовским протоиереем Феодором Алексеевым Быстреевским.

В 1927—1958 годах было центром Серёдкинского района.

Транспорт
Железная дорога от Пскова до Нарвы, действовала с 1916 по 1942 г. и после войны восстановлена не была. В 1950-е - 1980-е близ села работал грунтовый аэродром, сообщавший село с Псковом и Гдовом регулярными рейсами на самолётах Ан-2. В настоящее время до села можно добраться автобусом.

Go Pro Omni VR 360: More Affordable, Easier to Use and Great Quality
Ranking the Go Pro Omni for your fitness needs.
360 video seems to be one segment of technology that fitness enthusiasts haven't really gravitated towards. Recently, we discussed how personal trainers can benefit from this innovation. We firmly believe that fitness pros could become the forefront of this type of filming, but there's a lot more an active person can do with truly great 360 video and those things are arguably the fittest pursuits on the planet!
Go Pro is the first company one thinks of when they need a camera that can survive any sports or active pursuit. Go Pro was also one of the first cameras to introduce us to the 360-degree camera and they've come a long way from there! The new Go Pro Omni is the quintessential camera for anyone doing anything active and and it's 360 VR capabilities are incredible. But before you jump in, you need to know that while this is an amazing camera, it's for a serious buyer at a whopping price tag of around $4000, but if you're spending thousands to travel the world to best the globe's most active pursuits, maybe getting arguably the best 360 VR camera money can buy is as essential as your passport. Here's what you need to know to make that call!
The Omni is a rig that provides 8K capturing capabilities. Additionally it comes with a software that allows you to have a post production solution beyond that of the Adobe Premiere Pro that anyone editing video is used to dealing with. Lastly, it is also a 360-degree video rendering machine, which means that it will have almost all the same capabilities as the 360-degree video rendering cameras that we've seen with other, more expensive, GoPro offerings.
While many of the video capturing devices that have been used as 360 video capturing devices from GoPro have made it into some of the lives of active and fit folks who take activity-based vacations, the entire segment hasn't really become mainstream. One big reason for that could be because those 360 videos are not entirely VR capable right off the bat and many people have to edit their footage and build systems in order to handle that type of footage. This means that it's not easy enough for the average gym goer, lion tamer, zip liner and off road lover to just plug it into their computer and have a 360 video for somebody to play with.
With the GoPro Omni, the VR capability is streamlined and makes capturing truly 360 VR activities a lot easier. Users won't have to jump through codecs and codes in order to achieve their online training. As of right now, it'll mean that most people can experience what it's like to go on their own biking off-trail adventure or sailing trip with dolphins up close and personal in all the greatness that is 360 VR. And while that's great, what we want to know is how will this tech eventually grow when it's embraced by fitness?
Ever wonder why there's just not a lot of 360 video out there for fitness? There's lots of reasons, but the ultimate truth here is that the tech is too expensive and too complex. The Omni's competition clocks in at a whopping price tag of $45,000! That's one huge reason that makes the Omni a gamechanger for 360 VR. Some people will say that while the Omni is drastically cheaper, cost is still the issue that prevents people from creating quality 360 VR content for fitness. But it really isn't just a cost thing, especially with this new Omni. If it was just a cost thing, all the major brands in fitness would be developing this content on a daily basis and not just because they have the money to do it. In fact, they'd be doing it because it would set them apart from all the smaller brands that are nipping away at their popularity. But this isn't really happening at all yet because it hasn't become mainstream for fitness enthusiasts. If everyone visiting a fitness website or buying a fitness magazine was expecting 360 VR content, then in a matter of weeks, many brands and independents would be churning out content. The demand isn't there. And the demand isn't there because the people passionate about bringing fitness content to audiences haven't had a chance to really make 360 VR content without significant challenge, until now. The Omni does have the chance to change all of this because it does make it more affordable and a lot easier. Now the question becomes if fitness enthusiasts will embrace it.
If you're on the fence, you need to know that the Omni offers 8K capture from the HERO4 Black six times over. That' right. It's actually 6 HERO4 cameras in one! GoPro promises that it will produce high-resolution and stunning image quality that virtual reality viewers will notice. In addition to spherical content capture, Omni may also be used for "over capture" of traditional content. Omni captures 8K, which then can be extracted and HD deliverable—from literally any perspective.
For tips on what your new 360 VR content could be like, especially for fitness, check out our recent article directed at personal trainers. The benefit of a camera with the type of interface that the Omni offers is that you can produce quality content as often as you want with so much less production time that you can continuously grow your library and film complexity as you go.
Is the Omni the best camera you can get for this sort of content right now? Considering the price and specs, we think so. Are you using something else? Fill us in on what you're using and show us your fitness content today!

GDB 16 E faccia il sacerdote bruciar la ricordanza di essa, insieme con tutto il suo incenso, in offerta fatta per fuoco al Signore. NIV 16 The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as a food offering presented to the LORD.
NIV 9 He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD. NIV 10 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the LORD. NIV 11 " 'Every grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the LORD. NIV 12 You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. NIV 13 Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings. NIV 14 " 'If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire. NIV 15 Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering. NIV 16 The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as a food offering presented to the LORD.

In March 1938, Silvestre Revueltas, sketched some autobiographical reflections, which provide insight into his formative years.
"I was born in Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, on December 31, 1899. It is located, I think, near the mountains, since my earliest and most vivid childhood recollection is of a trip through the sierra tied to the back of a mule - I was just a little fellow - sleeping in a tent on the ground, hunting birds with a slingshot, picking berries at daylight, hearing the wolves in the night…
"Sky, water, mountains were my first loves. Then, music. And later, the music that is inside oneself.
"…I was very young, three years old, my mother tells me, when I heard music for the first time: the little village band playing its evening concert in the square. I stood listening for a long time and with what must have been spectacular concentration because it was so intense that my eyes crossed. And cross-eyed I remained for three or four days after. (Now, unfortunately, musicians no longer leave me cross-eyed.) As a small boy (and maybe as an adult) I always preferred banging on a washtub or dreaming up tales to doing something useful…
"I grew and I played music.
"I came to Mexico City. Mexico! I wrote the inevitable verses and letters with unfinished sentences followed by dots. My kind father became alarmed…
"I continued studying music but was not very diligent. I began to love Bach and Beethoven at a very early stage. It gave me much pleasure to stroll Chapultepec Park's romantic avenues, taking long strides, arms behind my back, long hair in disarray. Those lithographs of poor Beethoven, grim-faced, defying the storm, had a strong influence over me. I could do no less myself.
"I have had many teachers. The best of them, with no degrees, knew more than the others. For that reason I have always had little respect for degrees. Now, after many years I still study, have teachers, write music, dream of distant countries, and sometimes bang on washtubs."
After three years in Mexico City, Revueltas traveled to the United States, where he studied violin and composition in Austin and Chicago. In the late 1920s, he played violin in a theater orchestra in San Antonio and conducted an orchestra in Mobile, Alabama. He returned to Mexico in 1929, when Carlos Chávez invited him to become assistant conductor of the Mexico Symphony Orchestra, a post he held until 1935.
It was during this period that Revueltas composed his three string quartets. The Second Quartet dates from 1931, and its title, "Magueyes," is Spanish for agave, a type of succulent plant native to Mexico and used as food, drink (ferment its juices and you've got tequila), and even for making cloth. The first movement begins with fast, folk-like passage, followed by a more relaxed second subject. Revueltas develops the opening thematic material briefly and dramatically before the movement closes with an extended, emotive slower section that acts as a de facto slow movement and provides the players with some wonderful expressive possibilities. The second movement revisits the opening thematic material of the first, transforming it into the basis of a harried scherzo complete with thrillingly spiky, high-lying writing for the violins. The imitative counterpoint that begins the short finale recalls Revueltas' early love of Bach, but its final chords, a minute and a half later, return the listener firmly to the world of the 20th century.

Ѕ, ѕ («зіло́», «дзіло́») — кирилична літера, десята літера македонської абетки, що позначає звук /dz/, наприклад ѕвонче («дзвін»).
В старо- та церковнослов'янських абетках займала десяту позицію. У старослов'янській передавала м'який африкат [dz'], що утворився з [g] перед голосними переднього ряду у результаті другої палаталізації.

У глаголиці мала вигляд , а в давній кирилиці символ  (в прямому або дзеркальному вигляді: Ѕ, Ꙅ) використовували первісно тільки як числовий знак для позначення числа «6», а для позначення африката [dz'] використовувався видозмінений варіант літери З, схожий на «перекреслене Z (Ꙃ)» або «Z з гачком справа посередині». Надалі  узвичаїли і для передавання [dz']. Походження глаголичної літери неясне, а кирилична виводиться від архаїчної літери стигма, що теж використовувалася для передачі числа 6. Отже, візуальна тотожність букви «зіло» і латинської S (яка походить від сигми) є випадковою.

У сучасній церковнослов'янській мові традиційно читається як «з» — це пов'язане з процесом переходу африката [dz'] в [z'] і [z] у більшості слов'янських мов (з сучасних слов'янських dz < *g зберігся лише в польській і македонській). У церковнослов'янській буквеній цифірі позначає число «6».

Старослов'янська назва цієї літери — «ѕѣло» (вимова «дзіло́»), церковнослов'янська — «ѕѣлѡ» (вимова «зіло́»); означає «дуже, надто, надмірно».

В HTML велику літеру S можна записати як Ѕ або Ѕ, а малу ѕ — як ѕ або ѕ.

Починаючи з версії Юнікоду 5.1 старослов'янську літеру «зіло» було відділено від сучасної Ѕ, їй надано коди U+A642 та U+A643 (Ꙃꙃ); також введено коди для «дзеркального» варіанта Ѕ' — U+A644 та U+A645 (Ꙅꙅ).

Євразійська патентна конвенція (ЄАПК) () — міжнародний договір з питань охорони промислової власності. Підписана 9.IX 1994 в Москві главами урядів держав — членів Співдружності Незалежних Держав.

Історія
Після розпаду Радянського Союзу його держави-наступники не мали системи захисту інтелектуальної власності. В загальному вигляді патентні питання входили в конвенцію, яка була підписана 27 грудня 1991 року, але ніколи не вступала в силу.
Друга версія конвенції 1994 відповідала Європейській патентній конвенції і «прагнула зміцнити співробітництво у сфері захисту винаходів» та створити міждержавну систему отримання такого захисту на основі єдиного патенту, чинного на території держав, що є сторонами конвенції.

Євразійське відомство видає євразійський патент на винахід, яке є новим, має винахідницький рівень і є промислово придатним. Термін дії євразійського патенту становить 20 років від дати подання євразійської заявки.

An easy Ridge gourd Curry or Simply Beerakaya Popu is a simple variety for everyday cooking.
Wash the ridge gourd and slightly peel at the ridges. Cut them into small pieces.
Take 1 or 2 tbsp of oil in a thick bottom skillet and heat it on medium heat. When the oil is hot add chana dal followed by urad dal, mustard and cumin seeds. When the mustard seeds are spluttering add green chili and garlic. Keep stirring. When the chana dal is getting light brown add hing and curry leaves. Stir it once and add ridge gourd pieces. To this add turmeric powder and salt. Give it a good mix cover it and cook for 3-4 minutes.
After 4 minutes check it and stir it once. If it is not cooked, continue cooking for few more minutes. After 4 or 5 minutes the ridge gourd pieces should be done. Add red chili powder according to your taste and give it a good mix. You may also add 1/2 tsp of coriander powder if you prefer. Add cilantro also. You may add 1/2 a tsp of fresh homemade ghee for a wonderful taste. But it is optional. Switch off the flame. Serve it with whole grain brown rice or whole wheat chapati. Enjoy.

A few years ago, I didn't know a thing about craft cider. I was so focused on craft beer that I had virtually ignored the craft cider revolution that's been gaining steam these past few years. I started taking more notice when one of my favorite local breweries: Two Beers Brewing Company, announced that they would be expanding and launching Seattle Cider Company – the first cidery in Seattle since the days of prohibition.
After tasting several different ciders (both at Seattle Cider Company and at various places around the Sound) and attending a few different cider events at Seattle Cider Company, including the 1st Annual Pacific Northwest Cider Awards and the recent 1st Anniversary celebration at Seattle Cider, I'm a bit more knowledgeable but still eager to keep trying new ciders and learning more.
Black Raven Brewing Company (CBM Sponsor) puts out some pretty amazing beers: Nothing But Flowers Session IPA, Old Birdbrain Barleywine, Second Sight Strong Scotch Ale (and it's barrel-aged cousin: Splinters), Wisdom Seeker Double IPA (one of my favorite double IPAs); the list goes on and on. Some Black Raven beers only come around once or twice a year, making them coveted treasures that can be difficult to find. One such beer is returning – today. That beer is La Petite Mort; a Belgian inspired strong abbey dark ale.
It's been a warm Seattle Summer. With temperatures reaching into the high 90's the other day, however, I know a lot of people who are glad that the rain is back, at least briefly, and the temperatures are dropping a bit. Personally, I don't mind the warmer temperatures we've been having. Our Summers are traditionally pretty short here in the Northwest, so I say enjoy the heat while it's here. Soon enough the clouds and rain will be back for months on end (*muffled cheers from the back of the room*).
The warm Summer weather is also a great excuse to drink some beer styles I don't always seem to get enough of: Saisons, Pilseners, German Lagers and, of course, the first Fresh Hops beers of the season are starting to appear. Two Beers Brewing (CBM Sponsor) was first out of the gate again this year, releasing their 2014 Fresh Hop ale just this past weekend.
Summer also means lots of craft beer and craft cider events. We've already had several this Summer, including: The Pacific Northwest Cider Awards at Seattle Cider Company, The 3rd Annual IPA Invitational at The Sixgill, Big Al Brewing's 6th Anniversary Celebration, Parkway Tavern's 79th Anniversary Celebration and many, many more.
Burdick Brewery (CBM Sponsor) has been open for less than a year. They first opened their doors just this past October in Seattle's South Park neighborhood, where they share the building they occupy with Lowercase Brewing – another Seattle newcomer. Since then, they've been serving up a wide variety of small-batch beers including: Belma Pale Ale, Honey Rye Ale, Blonde Ale, Red Ale, a few different IPAs as well as whiskey barrel aged versions of their Red Ale, Blonde Ale and Rye Ale. They've also hosted several small music and poetry events as well as the occasional waffle breakfast on weekends.

Why your password isn't good enough
By Samantha Cordell | December 21, 2018
Many of us have been using a password of between 8-12 characters with triple complexity for a number of years now. By triple complexity we mean upper/lower case letters, with the addition of numbers or special characters such as &*^%. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initially campaigned for this format and it's adoption has become commonplace worldwide. Now, they say their advice was mistaken and we need to adapt to new formats until passwords are phased out...
The issue isn't necessarily that the NIST advised people to create passwords that are easy to crack, but it steered people into creating lazy passwords, using capitalisation, special characters, and numbers that are easy to predict, like "P@ssW0rd1."
This may seem secure, but in reality, these strings of characters and numbers could easily be compromised by hackers using common algorithms.
To make matters worse, NIST also recommended that people change their passwords regularly, but did not define what it actually means to "change" them. Since people thought their passwords were already secure with special characters, most only added one number or symbol.
NIST essentially forced everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember but easy for computers to guess.
Recently, the institution admitted that this scheme can cause more problems than solutions. It has reversed its stance on organisational password management requirements, and is now recommending banishing forced periodic password changes and getting rid of complexity requirements.
Security consultant Frank Abagnale and Chief hacking officer for KnowBe4 Kevin Mitnick both see a future without passwords. Both security experts advise enterprises to utilise multi factor authentication (MFA) in login policies.
This requires users to present two valid credentials to gain access to their data. For instance, a code texted to an employee's smartphone can serve as an added security measure to thwart hackers.
Moreover, Mitnick recommended implementing long passphrases of 25 characters or more, such as "correcthorsebatterystaple" or "iknewweretroublewhenwalkedin5623". These are much more difficult to guess and less prone to hacking. As for the frequency of changing passphrases, it will depend on a company's risk tolerance.
Simply put, passwords should be longer and include nonsensical phrases and English words that make it almost impossible for an automated system to make sense of.
Even better, you should enforce the following security solutions within your company:
Single sign-on – allows users to securely access multiple accounts with one set of credentials
Account monitoring tools – recognises suspicious activity and locks out hackers
When it comes to security, ignorance is the biggest threat.
Diamond's recommendation
In our blog on "How to select a secure password" from early in 2018 you'll find these same recommendations, without the suggested withdrawal of what we called Option 1, the 8-12 character password with multiple complexity. Option 2 from our blog matches the new recommendations from the US NIST.
We'd like to re-enforce the importance of Multi-Factor Authentication. A good password teamed up with a 2nd or 3rd form of authentication makes your account VERY hard to break into.

The Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) was responsible for electricity generation, transmission and bulk sales in England and Wales from 1958 until privatisation of the electricity industry in the 1990s.

It was established on 1 January 1958 to assume the functions of the Central Electricity Authority (1955–7), which had in turn replaced the British Electricity Authority (1948–55). The Electricity Council was also established in January 1958, as the coordinating and policy-making body for the British electricity supply industry.

Responsibilities

The CEGB was responsible for electricity generation, transmission and bulk sales in England and Wales, whilst in Scotland electricity generation was carried out by the South of Scotland Electricity Board and the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board.

The CEGB's duty was to develop and maintain an efficient, coordinated and economical system of supply of electricity in bulk for England and Wales, and for that purpose to generate or acquire supplies of electricity and to provide bulk supplies of electricity for the area electricity boards for distribution. It also had power to supply bulk electricity to the Scottish boards or electricity undertakings outside Great Britain.

The organisation was unusual in that most of its senior staff were professional engineers, supported in financial and risk-management areas.

Corporate structure

Background
In 1954, six years after nationalisation, the Government appointed the Herbert Committee to examine the efficiency and organisation of the electricity industry. The committee found that the British Electricity Authority's dual roles of electricity generation and supervision had led to central concentration of responsibility and to duplication between headquarters and divisional staff which led to delays in the commissioning of new stations. The Committee's recommendations were enacted by the Electricity Act 1957 which established the Electricity Council to oversee the industry and the CEGB with responsibility for generation and transmission.

Constitution

The CEGB was established by section 2 of the Electricity Act 1957. It consisted of a Generating Board comprising a chairman and seven to nine full-time or part-time members, appointed by the Minister of Power, who had experience or capacity in "the generation or supply of electricity, industrial, commercial or financial matters, applied science, administration, or the organisation of workers". The power of appointment later devolved to the Minister of Technology, then to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.

There were six chairmen of the CEGB:

 Christopher Hinton, Baron Hinton of Bankside, served from 1957 to 1964,
 Sir Stanley Brown served from 1965 to 1972,
 Sir Arthur Hawkins from 1972 to 1977,
 Glyn England from 1977 to 1982,
 Walter Marshall, Baron Marshall of Goring from 1982 to 1989,
 Gil Blackman was appointed chairman in January 1989 until 1990.

The executive comprised the chairman and the full-time board members. The Headquarters Operations Department provided a service to the board and executive and could supply specialist staff.

The chairman and two other members of the board plus the chairmen of the area boards were members of the Electricity Council.

Organisation
The design, construction and development functions associated with power stations and transmission was undertaken by two divisions: the Generation Development and Construction Division based in Cheltenham and then Barnwood Gloucester, and the Transmission Development and Construction Division based in Guildford. In 1979 the Transmission Division had been restructured as the Transmission and Technical Services Division based in Guildford, and a Technology Planning and Research Division based in London, the latter was formed from the Research Division System Technical and Generation Studies Branches.

A Corporate Strategy Department was formed in 1981 from some of the Planning Department. A Nuclear Operations Support Group was also formed in 1981 to provide expert support.

The sculpture "Power in Trust" from the CEGB logo was made by Norman Sillman to represent a hand made from boiler pipes and a turbine, it was commissioned in the 1961 for the opening of Staythorpe B Power Station.

When first constituted the CEGB's London headquarters was at the former Central Electricity Authority's building in Winsley Street W1, there were also offices in Buchanan House, 24/30 Holborn, London, EC1.

Employees
There were a total of 131,178 employees in the electricity supply industry 1989, composed as follows:

Infrastructure
The CEGB spent more on industrial construction than any other organisation in the UK. In 1958 about 40 power stations were being planned or constructed at a capital cost of £800 million.

Power stations
Those public supply power stations that were in operation at any time between 1958 and 1990 were owned and operated by the CEGB. In 1971–2 there were 183 power stations on 156 sites, with an installed capacity of 58,880.051 MW, and supplied 190,525 GWh. By 1981–2 there were 108 power stations with a capacity of 55,185 MW and supplied 210,289 GWh.

National Grid
At its inception the CEGB operated 2,763 circuit km of high-tension 275 kV supergrid. The growth of the high voltage National Grid over the lifetime of the CEGB is demonstrated in the following table.

Substations

In 1981–2 there was a total of 203 substations operating at 275/400 kV, these sub-stations included 570 transformers operating at 275/400 kV.

Operations

Control of generation and the National Grid
At the centre of operations was the National Control Centre of the National Grid in London, which was part of the control hierarchy for the system. The National Control Centre was based in Bankside House from 1962. There were also both area and district Grid Control Areas, which were originally at Newcastle upon Tyne, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham, St Albans, East Grinstead and Bristol. The shift control engineers who worked in these control centres would cost, schedule and load-dispatch an economic commitment of generation to the main interconnected system (the 400/275/132kV network) at an adequate level of security. They also had information about the running costs and availability of every power producing plant in England and Wales. They constantly anticipated demand, monitored and instructed power stations to increase, reduce or stop electricity production. They used the "merit order", a ranking of each generator in power stations based upon how much they cost to produce electricity. The objective was to ensure that electricity production and transmission was achieved at the lowest possible cost.

In 1981 the three-tier corporate transmission structure: National Control, area control rooms in the regions, and district control rooms (areas) was changed to a two-tier structure by merging the area and district control rooms.

Electricity supplies and sales
The electricity generated, supplied and sold by the CEGB, in GWh, was as follows:

Note: imports are bulk supplies from the South of Scotland and France and from private sources, exports are bulk supplies to the South of Scotland and France.

Financial statistics
A summary of the income and expenditure of the CEGB (in £ million) is as follows:

Regions
Detailed control of operational matters such planning, electricity generation, transmission and maintenance were delegated to five geographical regions. From January 1971 each region had a director-general, a director of generation, a director of operational planning, a director of transmission, a financial controller, a controller of scientific services and a personnel nanager.

Midlands Region
Regional headquarters: Haslucks Green Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands.

The Midlands Region was responsible for the operation of 38 power stations, over 170 sub-stations and nearly 2,000 miles of grid transmission line in an area that covered 11,000 square miles. The region produced more than a quarter of the electricity used in England and Wales and had a major share of the industrial construction programme mounted by the CEGB during the 1960s.

In 1948 the total generating capacity of all the power stations in the region was 2,016 MW only a little more than a modern 2,000 MW station. By 1957 the region's capacity was up to 4,000 MW, doubling to 8,000 MW by 1966 and rising to 14,000 MW in 1969 and 16,000 MW by 1971.

Previous chairmen of the Midlands Region were Arthur Hawkins, Gilbert Blackman, and R. L. Batley.

Prior to 1968 the Midlands Region was divided into the West Midlands Division and the East Midlands Division. The number of power stations, installed capacity and electricity supplied in the Midlands Region was:

North Eastern Region
Regional Headquarters: Merrion Centre, Leeds (1971). Beckwith Knowle, Otley Road, Harrogate.

Extending through Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire the North Eastern Region was responsible for the operation of 32 power stations capable of producing 8,000 MW of electricity. 108 substations and over 1,200 route miles of overhead lines transmitted the electricity to the Yorkshire Electricity Board and the North Eastern Electricity Board for passing onto the customer.

A previous chairman of the North Eastern Region was P.J. Squire.

Prior to 1968 the North Eastern Region was divided into the Northern Division and the Yorkshire Division.The number of power stations, installed capacity and electricity supplied in the North Eastern Region was:

North Western Region
Regional Headquarters: 825 Wilmslow Road, Manchester, M20 (1971). Europa House, Bird Hall Lane, Cheadle Heath, Stockport.

Previous chairman of the North Western Region were J.L. Ashworth and G.B. Jackson.

The number of power stations, installed capacity and electricity supplied in the North Western Region was:

South Eastern Region
Regional Headquarters: Bankside House, Summer Street, London.

Past chairman of the South Eastern Region were G.N. Stone, H.J. Bennett and F.W. Skelcher.

Prior to 1968 the South Eastern Region was divided into the North Thames Division and the South Thames Division. The number of power stations, installed capacity and electricity supplied in the South Eastern Region was:

South Western Region
Regional Headquarters: 15–23 Oakfield Grove, Clifton, Bristol (1971). Bedminster Down, Bridgwater Road, Bristol.

Previous chairman of the South Western Region were Douglas Pask, Roy Beatt, A.C. Thirtle and R.H. Coates.

Prior to 1968 the South Western Region was divided into the Southern Division, the Western Division and the South Wales Division. The number of power stations, installed capacity and electricity supplied in the South Western Region was:

Supplies to area boards
The supplies of electricity from the CEGB Regions to the area electricity boards in 1971–2 and 1981–2 were as follows. The average charge in 1971–2 was 0.6519 pence/kWh, in 1981–2 the charge was 3.0615 pence/kWh.

During the lifetime of the CEGB peak demand had more than doubled from 19,311 MW in 1958 to 47,925 MW in 1987. Sales of electricity had increased from 79.7 TWh in 1958 to 240 TWh in 1988.

Research and development
The CEGB had an extensive R&D section with its three principal laboratories at Leatherhead (Central Electricity Research Laboratories, CERL) (opened by the Minister of Power in May 1962), Marchwood Engineering Laboratory (MEL), and Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories (BNL). There were also five regional facilities and four project groups, North, South, Midlands and the Transmission Project Group. These scientific service departments (SSD) had a base in each region. A major SSD role was solving engineering problems with the several designs of 500 MW units. These were a significant increase in unit size and had many teething problems, most of which were solved to result in reliable service and gave good experience towards the design of the 660 MW units.

In the 1970s and 1980s, for the real-time control of power stations the R&D team developed the Cutlass programming language and application system. After privatisation, CUTLASS systems in National Power were phased out and replaced largely with Advanced Plant Management System (APMS) – a SCADA solution developed in partnership by RWE npower (a descendant company of CEGB) and Thales UK. APMS itself has since become obsolete. However, Eggborough was the last station, particularly unit 2; fully operated using APMS until its decommissioning in 2017.

In contrast, PowerGen, later taken over by E.ON (which further split to form Uniper), undertook a programme to port the entire system to current hardware. The most current version of Cutlass, 'PT-Cutlass Kit 9', runs on Motorola PPC-based hardware, with the engineering workstation and administrative functions provided by a standard Microsoft Windows PC. It is fully compatible (with a few minor exceptions) with the DEC PDP-11 version (kit 1) released by PowerGen and has a high level of compatibility with the final version of kit 1 formerly used at National Power. It is used at three UK power stations: Ratcliffe-on-Soar, Cottam, and Fiddlers Ferry.

Policies and strategies
The CEGB was subject to examination from external bodies and formed policies and strategies to meet its responsibilities.

External
A 1978 government white paper Re-organisation of the Electricity Supply in England and Wales proposed the creation of an Electricity Corporation to unify the fragmented structure of the industry. Parliamentary constraints prevented its enactment.

A report by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, Central Electricity Generating Board: a Report on the Operation by the Board of its system for the generation and supply of Electricity in bulk was published in 1981. The report found that the CEGB's operations were efficient but that their investment appraisal operated against the public interest.

Internal
In 1964 the CEGB chose the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor, developed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, for a programme of new station construction. The five stations were: Dungeness B, Hinkley Point B, Hartlepool, Heysham and Hunterston B.

In 1976 the CEGB introduced an accelerated power station closure programme. On 25 October 23 power stations were closed and 18 partly closed, with a combined capacity of 2,884 MW. Six further stations with a capacity of 649 MW were closed in March 1977.

In 1979 the CEGB and the National Coal Board entered a joint understanding that the CEGB would endeavour to take 75 million tonnes of coal per year to 1985 provided the pithead price did not increase above the rate of inflation.

In 1981 the CEGB applied for planning consent to build a 1,200 MW pressurized water reactor at Sizewell. There was a lengthy public inquiry.

In 1981 the CEGB introduced another accelerated power station closure programme. On 26 October 16 power stations were closed with a combined capacity of 3,402 MW. A further 1,320 MW of capacity was maintained unmanned in reserve.

Privatisation
The electricity market in the UK was built upon the break-up of the CEGB into four companies in the 1990s. Its generation (or upstream) activities were transferred to three generating companies, 'PowerGen', 'National Power', and 'Nuclear Electric' (later 'British Energy', eventually 'EDF Energy'); and its transmission (or downstream) activities to the 'National Grid Company'.

The shares in National Grid were distributed to the regional electricity companies prior to their own privatisation in 1990. PowerGen and National Power were privatised in 1991, with 60% stakes in each company sold to investors, the remaining 40% being held by the UK government. The privatisation process was initially delayed as it was concluded that the 'earlier decided nuclear power plant assets in National Power' would not be included in the private National Power. A new company was formed, Nuclear Electric, which would eventually own and operate the nuclear power assets, and the nuclear power stations were held in public ownership for a number of years.

In 1995, the government sold its 40% stakes, and the assets of Nuclear Electric and Scottish Nuclear were both combined and split. The combination process merged operations of UK's eight most advanced nuclear plants – seven Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor (AGR) and one Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) – into a new private company founded in 1996, 'British Energy' (now 'EDF Energy'). The splitting process created a separate company in 1996 called 'Magnox Electric' to hold the older Magnox reactors, later combined with BNFL.

Although electricity privatisation began in 1990, the CEGB continued to exist until the Central Electricity Generating Board (Dissolution) Order 2001, a statutory instrument, came into force on 9 November 2001.

Powergen is now E.ON UK, owned by the German utility company E.ON, who then further split to form Uniper, who own the majority of the former E.On conventional power generation. National Power split into a UK business, 'Innogy', now 'RWE npower', owned by the German utility company RWE, and an international business, 'International Power', now Engie Energy International and owned by the French company Engie.

Climate regulation of the electricity sector is one of the most important growing — and rapidly changing — areas of law and policy today. This is both because of the critical role that electricity plays in modern society, acting as economic lifeblood, and because of electricity's part in driving climate change, accounting for more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally than any other activity. This article provides an introduction to different methods of regulating climate emissions from the electricity sector. It does so through detailed, comparative accounts of climate regulation of electricity in four different jurisdictions: Australia, Great Britain, South Korea, and the United States. For each jurisdiction, the article provides a primer on the nation's electricity sector, its different policy tools for regulating GHG emissions from the sector, and the influence of those regulations in reshaping the provision of electricity in the jurisdiction. A concluding analysis section identifies key lessons learned to date about climate regulation of electricity globally.

The Grade 1 Delaware Handicap has managed to attract its share of top fillies and mares in recent years, with champions Royal Delta, Blind Luck, and Havre de Grace taking part in the past three runnings, and the quality racemare Life at Ten winning the race in 2010. The problem hasn't been attracting star talent to run in this race. The problem has been getting additional runners to show up to challenge the heavy favorite.
Royal Delta won the last two runnings of this race on her way to champion older female honors, and did so at odds of 2/5 in 2012 and 1/2 last year. The 2011 running, while stacking up as a virtual match race between Blind Luck and Havre de Grace, was as thrilling as a horse race can be, but found Blind Luck prevailing by the shortest of noses at even-money. The 2010 edition went to another odds-on favorite, the aforementioned Life at Ten, who paid $3.20 to win.
In keeping with the trend, this year's running of the race features the Todd Pletcher-trained Princess of Sylmar, who is pegged at even-money on the ML and figures to settle somewhere south of that number come post time. Princess of Sylmar exits a stellar running of the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps on the Belmont Stakes Day undercard, where she squared off against two of the other (or, if you prefer, THE two other) leading older fillies in the country, Close Hatches and Beholder. After settling last in the field that day, Princess of Sylmar swung into action on the outside coming to the stretch and was grinding on gamely all the way to the finish, ultimately falling a head shy of catching Close Hatches at the wire. Today, she faces no opponent as talented as Close Hatches (or Beholder, for that matter) and is going to be very hard to beat. Not that you needed us to tell you that.
If you are looking for an alternative to the heavy favorite, or a horse to use with her in the exotics, we would point to the winner of the local prep for this race, Gamay Noir, who prevailed in the nine-furlong Obeah, overcoming a wide trip from behind a slow pace to do so. She earned a new top TimeformUS Speed Figure of 105 for that effort, and while that kind of figure will not put a scare into Princess of Sylmar on her best day, she gets some extra credit from us for overcoming a tough trip and pace scenario. While there isn't that much pace signed on here to help her late run, the 1 1/4-mile distance may suit her staying ability, and that could easily make up the difference.
The two runners exiting Churchill's Fluer de Lis Handicap, Molly Morgan and Flashy American, are also logical contenders. Molly Morgan earned a strong 110 TimeformUS Speed Figure for her winning effort there, and she put in a solid run up the rail to seize control of that race through the second turn. She was much the best that day, and that 110 matches her lifetime top, which is a positive sign for her. Flashy American wasn't able to threaten in there after a wide trip, settling for a no-threat second. While she didn't have the run of the race that day, she has seemed to be running a couple of levels below her good form of last season, and we would prefer to stick with Molly Morgan out of that Fleur de Lis.
We are not interested in playing against Princess of Sylmar in this spot on Saturday, and would key her in the multi-race exotics while playing a straight Princess of Sylmar/Gamay Noir exacta within the race.
The Grade 2 Bowling Green, run over 1 1/2 miles on the Widener course, drew a well-matched field of seven, which is likely to scratch down to six with Chamois (#4, 8-1) cross-entered to an easier spot over the same distance at Delaware Park on Saturday.
This race appears to go directly through the 6/5 ML favorite, Grandeur (#5), who recently finished 4th in the Grade 1 Manhattan and 3rd in the Grade 1 Man O' War and takes a bit of a step back in class here. He ran TimeformUS Speed Figures of 113 and 112 in those two races, and while those figures make him competitive in here, they actually give him no edge at all over several of these horses. He has better races than that to get to, but he'll likely have to in order to come out on top in this race, and we thought that he was just picking up pieces at the end of the Manhattan last time while finishing a no-factor 4th. We have no argument with him as the horse to beat, but we think we can do better than taking him at a short price. Instead, we will be looking to beat Grandeur in this spot.
The second choice on the ML is Boisterous (#3, 3-1). Boisterous is, like Grandeur, a logical horse in this race, and he is going to be very tough if he shows up here with his best stuff. The problem with him is that he hasn't appeared to have his best stuff yet since being privately purchased and sent to Todd Pletcher's barn for his last four starts, and he has always been a horse who is at his best with a little "give" in the ground.
We also have never thought that he was at his best at this kind of distance. Unless it rains, in which case we would move him up, we will stand against Boisterous on top.
We want to try Hangover Kid (#1, 5-1) on top in this race. He figures to be a playable price in here and is not a horse who gives you concerns over distance, as he has run very well over 1 3/8 miles several times in the past and done so in some tough spots. He has also managed to run TimeformUS Speed Figures on par with the two most recent figures earned by Grandeur, and he bounced back from a no-show effort at Keeneland with a strong runner-up effort at Monmouth last month.
We think Hangover Kid is dangerous in the Bowling Green at a square price, and we like that he reunites with the hot-riding Jose Lezcano for this. He will be the focus of our play.
The other horse for us is Reflecting (#7, 8-1), who actually turns back out of a 2-mile race, one in which he was an unlucky loser at a big price after failing to gain clearance at a crucial point in the stretch. He is a typical slow-developing runner from the Phipps/Shug McGaughey operation, and he is also the field's lone two-time winner over 1 1/2 miles.
Saver exactas: Grandeur over Hangover Kid & Reflecting.

It is the B.C. SPCA's only wildlife rehabilitation centre in the province.
Called Wild ARC, the facility is located in Metchosin, southwest of Victoria on Vancouver Island.
Since opening 21 years ago, Wild ARC has treated more than 45,000 animals.
Wild ARC treats 3,000 animals every year, like these orphaned raccoons.
"If this facility didn't exist, it would mean thousands of animals every year would meet a painful death," Dubois said.
But Wild ARC can only help wildlife from the southern part of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and the need for more centres like it is growing, especially in the Okanagan.
Wild ARC opened in 1997 and since then has helped more than 45,000 animals.
As the Okanagan's population increases, so too do conflicts between humans and wild animals. That, said the B.C. SPCA, makes the need for a rehab centre in the valley that much greater.
"Especially highly populated places in urban environments, where there is so much human encroachment, it is an absolute necessity, absolute necessity that we have a rehabilitation facility in the area," Wild ARC rehabilitator Dana Lipka said.
Kelowna SPCA branch manager Sean Hogan said a wildlife rehab centre is badly needed in the Okanagan, adding that during peak spring and summer months, staff field five to seven calls every week about wildlife needing help.
There are a few independent wildlife rehab facilities in the Southern Interior, such as SORCO in Penticton and the B.C. Wildlife Park in Kamloops, but the kind of species they can help is limited, and distance can also pose problems for the animals.
"The distance to Kamloops may not seem long to you and I, but, realistically, to an animal it can be too long and they may not be stable enough for travel," Hogan said.
And that means, all too often the animal has to be euthanized.
But getting a centre liker Wild ARC up and running in the Okanagan will be a big endeavor, one that will require interested groups and individuals to step forward to help launch such a project.
"The effort of a community and maybe some incredible ambassadors will step forward, people who love wildlife and want to make a contribution and a legacy for wild animals in their community," Dubois said.
Hogan hopes more people become aware of the need and open up dialogue to help bring the idea to fruition.
