Multiple Wills Alert
Multiple Wills Resurrected
The recent woes of the estates bar in connection with multiple Wills has been resolved positively by the Divisional Court's decision in the Re Milne appeal decision issued on January 24, 2019.

An Update on Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) Reform
On November 22, 2018, the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services announced some very vague plans for reform. With respect to ODSP, the announcement stated that the intention was to "[r]edesign [ODSP] to provide annualized income support with far fewer reporting requirements for Ontarians with severe disabilities."
Multiple Wills Make a Comeback
The technique of using multiple wills, which became the standard among estate planning solicitors as a method of limiting the amount of probate fees (now called Estate Administration Tax), took a beating in the Re Milne decision of September 11, 2018.
Multiple Wills Alert!
A recent decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Re Milne) may affect the Wills of clients who have used multiple Wills to reduce probate fees. If you have Primary and Secondary Wills in place, this court decision may put that planning in jeopardy...
Multiple Wills: A Little Worse for Wear but Still Worthwhile
Following a handful of disconcerting endorsements in a number of probate applications culminating in the recent decision in the Milne Estates, an issue has been raised respecting the validity of the use of multiple wills in Ontario.
UPDATE: BIG CHANGES TO GIFTS, TRUSTS, AND SAVINGS FOR ODSP RECIPIENTS
Subsequent to the writing of this article, the Ford Government announced that the initiatives announced in Chapter 1, Section 7 of the previous government's 2018 Budget (which includes the New Regulation discussed in the article) will not proceed at this time.
Congratulations to Kathryn Balter on her OBA Trusts & Estates Law Section Executive Appointment.
Congratulations to Kathryn Balter on her recent appointment to the 2018-2019 OBA Trusts & Estates Law Section Executive.
Capping Political Contributions From Beyond The Grave
Although not a bequest that I often see in my estate planning practice, some people with distinct political leanings have historically taken advantage of an exemption from limits to political contributions in each calendar year by making such contribution in their Wills. Prior to the introduction of Bill C-23, dubbed the Fair Elections Act, which received Royal Assent on June 19, 2014, politically-inclined individuals could take advantage of former subsection 405(2) of the Canada Elections Act, S.C. 2000, c.9 (the "Act"), which permitted unlimited political contributions by way of testamentary disposition...

Wills, Powers of Attorney for Property and Powers of Attorney for Personal Care
Most people are hesitant when it comes to dealing with their Wills and Powers of Attorney. Death and Disability are not easy subjects to deal with. Unfortunately, these are realities that are better dealt with than not...

The Conversation: Academe's Firing Squads

Academe's Firing Squads
By A.W. Strouse
A quick Google search shows the wild popularity of a new genre of academic writing: the graduate-student blog about the evils of graduate school. With names like "100 Reasons NOT to Go to Graduate Schools," these posts are populated by a cast of Dickensian caricatures of innocence and wickedness. Advisers are narcissistic thugs, and students are helpless, poverty-stricken orphans. Doctoral study, especially in the humanities, is a merciless fraternity sustained by cruel hazing rituals—arbitrary exams, endless work, and unpleasable professors. But these stories have no Oliver Twist happy ending. As William Pannapacker (then writing as Thomas H. Benton) once told prospective graduate students in these pages, "
A quick Google search shows the wild popularity of a new genre of academic writing: the graduate-student blog about the evils of graduate school. With names like "100 Reasons NOT to Go to Graduate Schools," these posts are populated by a cast of Dickensian caricatures of innocence and wickedness. Advisers are narcissistic thugs, and students are helpless, poverty-stricken orphans. Doctoral study, especially in the humanities, is a merciless fraternity sustained by cruel hazing rituals—arbitrary exams, endless work, and unpleasable professors. But these stories have no Oliver Twist happy ending. As William Pannapacker (then writing as Thomas H. Benton) once told prospective graduate students in these pages, "Just Don't Go." There have now been dozens of imitators: It's become almost common wisdom that graduate school is a cult that degrades its initiates.
Critics have legitimate concerns, but they often undermine the very institutions that would attempt to deal with the problems. Even if the American labor movement has declined in influence, the academy still cherishes certain organizational structures that allow for collective action. Among these are learned societies and faculty unions, as well as the university itself (which, thank heavens, isn't yet completely profit-driven). By mobilizing within these structures, we academics might still have some capacity to protest the abysmal state of our working conditions. But the institutions that enable our collective action are increasingly under attack— often from the inside.
In the humanities, Rebecca Schuman has become a voice for the university's dispossessed. More often than not, Schuman uses her platform at Slate and elsewhere to throw out the whole university baby with the bathwater of adjunct labor. Schuman herself, it's worth pointing out, is a product of a broken system. A prestige-obsessed research culture indoctrinated her and others like her into believing that the tenure-track R1 job is the only path to a good life. Then, after years of humiliating rejection in a terrible academic job market, Schuman, as she retells it, is relegated, with so many part-time faculty members (myself included), to a row in the adjunct galley, keeping the ship of academe afloat—while being treated (as the Emory English professor and Chronicle columnist Marc Bousquet so floridly puts it) as the "indigestible remainder" of a system that thrives on exploitation.
Schuman is not alone in publicly and destructively trashing the university and its structures. Look, for example, at recent discussion of the Modern Language Association's "Report of the Task Force on Doctoral Study in Modern Language and Literature." Schuman asserts that the MLA has no credibility, since it consists of people who can afford to pay membership dues and aren't interested in the lower rungs of the profession. Hence its report is bogus. According to The Chronicle, a number of adjuncts agree. (One comment: "The perspectives of the adjunct and the full-time tenured faculty are absolutely oceans apart, and have been for 25 years.") As if channeling this discontent, a blogger claims that the American Philosophical Association also fails to represent all academic workers.
From my own cheap seat, it looks like the MLA and other professional associations like the American Historical Association have made good-faith efforts to be inclusive. Joining these organizations isn't free, and it doesn't come with a guarantee that they will perfectly represent all points of view. But after several years of not being a member, I've realized that there's still a reason to join organizations like the MLA. Just as there is a reason to keep paying my graduate-student-union dues. If we—academics at all levels—are going to have a chance to save our professions and our universities, we need to organize as a group. Without professional societies and unions, we'd be in a much sorrier place, crying into our beer rather than trying to protect our livelihoods.
It may very well be that the MLA's report has flaws. But attacking the institution itself threatens to stymie any attempts at reform. It weakens our ability to pursue common purposes. The increasing stratification of the academic labor market already reduces our capacity to work for the common good. As a fellow laborer in the graduate-student and adjunct vineyard, I can certainly empathize with feeling alienated from my profession and my graduate school. Recently a friend of mine got annoyed when he noticed that none of the three professors on his orals committee had signed a petition asking our university to raise the wage for adjuncts. Then he realized that these professors probably hadn't heard about the petition—because they were on vacation in Europe. It's hard to believe in a "community of scholars" when tenured and affluent faculty sometimes treat labor issues callously.
Or consider: At my own institution, the City University of New York, full-time faculty members recently voted no confidence in the administration's plan to restructure the undergraduate curriculum. Graduate students and adjuncts generally oppose the plan, too, and they would have voted that way—except weren't eligible to do so. Slighted, they drafted a petition condemning the vote and censuring the faculty union. In the process, they may have undermined the effectiveness of the faculty's vote, despite generally supporting its ends. There's plenty of blame to go around here, but my point is that we need to keep our eyes on our mutual goal. Sometimes the ends do justify the means. I wish that the academy's discontented, out of pure self-interest, would develop the political savvy to know when to support a measure that serves them.
It's clear that the status quo has shaken the faith of graduate students and adjuncts in education as a collective enterprise. In response, we're turning to venomous bloggers who, outside academic disciplines, can't be held accountable to academic standards of civility, and who, being individual guns for hire, don't speak to the needs of the profession so much as they serve the needs of their editors. Indeed, it warrants repeating that many of the dispossessed no longer see themselves as belonging to a profession—hence they don't feel obliged to speak courteously, think honestly, or work for the common good.
We need an ethics of solidarity. Solidarity, as I understand it, means recognizing one's political allies and supporting them to attain common goals. But—and this is crucial—solidarity won't be forged if the beneficiaries of the academic caste system continue to ignore the problems that plague of the rest of us. Unions and learned societies, and especially their tenured members, had better take note.

You have to keep it up and try again and again.
There is also the option of calling a mount. The game takes 30-45 seconds to load. You do not need to explore the map on foot. Only the Master Builder knows. But no worries, as you can become a hell of a player with all Cards available at start.


NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS (USA) - The GISciences Program in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas will celebrate its annual GIS Day on November 14 and will showcase Maptitude mapping software and the UT Dallas geospatial information sciences (GIS) program at the event.

Nutritious Deliciousness hoping to live a healthier lifestyle by eating real whole plant-based foods, cooking with nutrient-rich ingredients but also keeping it simple.
As a food lover and home cooking mum I have had a great interest in child nutrition for many years and believe it really matters, especially in the early years, what they consume and with my own children I hope to promote a life-long interest in good wholesome, delicious food.
I try to create healthy, delicious snacks (to keep up energy levels), tasty meals and desserts that are nutrient-dense that children will want to eat without depriving them of childhood treats albeit with much reduced sugar, alternatives to sugar or sugar-free.
Many of my recipes on this blog will be super healthy whilst others will be classic type recipes that I will try to tweak to include more healthy ingredients such as whole or more unusual grains and reducing fat (or using better fats) and sugar (or using alternatives) to improve their nutritional value and without compromising on taste. I'll be including brief nutritional info for the recipes to encourage you to want to find out more about the nutritional value of the food you are eating and in time I'll be adding the nutritional benefits of the ingredients too.
Having studied nutrition for years as an interest, I have a Nutritional Therapist qualification (plus currently studying an Advanced Sports Nutrition Course) to enhance my knowledge and also keep up to date with nutritional science. I don't offer advice in this area, but I do like to share what works for me and my family.
I prefer natural light photography and love photographing and styling food, lifestyle and personal branding photography for clients.

Collin Margerum
Graphics/Pringmaking/Drawing
I was raised in an environment completely immersed in the arts. My mother was a fine art photographer, illustrator, and teacher who taught me how to draw at a very young age. In fact, my siblings and I were given blank pads of drawing paper instead of coloring books. My father was a high fire stoneware potter who taught me the importance of having a strong work ethic. It was from him I learned that one must put in the hours to hone the skill it takes to create work people will like and hopefully love.
As I matured, drawing became the constant thread in my life. I was an average student at best, but I was able to focus an excel through the creation of two dimensional artwork. By the time I went to college I knew I wanted to create so I leaned into a field I was passionate about but had very limited education in, the field of film. Film school taught me about the construction and refinement of narrative and the overwhelming impact it has had on us as a species. I also learned about the tenuous balance between art and commerce. One cannot exist without the other and vice versa. After graduating from the University of Central Florida I used my new knowledge to reinforce and prop up my old passion. I created a body of work using charcoal and pastel and started my career as a professional artist in the city of Tampa at the Gasparilla festival of the Arts. I was extremely fortunate to sell multiple pieces to both public and private collectors at my first show. Since then I have exhibited in juried art shows around the country and have been lucky to win various awards and sell many works to collectors around the country.

Cancer has many warning signs that can help detect the onset of the disease before it's too late.
With the present times experiencing a boost in medical advancements, it has become easier and smoother to detect a disease in its early stages and increase the patient's chances of survival. Educating and promoting early diagnosis and spreading awareness on the various screening processes are the two major components of early detection of cancer.Doing this, can help decrease the mortality rate as well as improve prognosis. Oral cancer or mouth cancer comes under a wide umbrella of Head and Neck cancers, which is caused due to abnormal tissue growth in the oral cavity. Oral cancer is a major health complication, especially in the Indian sub-continent. It ranks among the top three types of cancer accounting to over 30 percent of all cancers.
Dr Vikram Kekatpure, senior consultant – Head and Neck Surgical Oncology, Cytecare Hospital, has cited that this type of cancer is commonly caused due to excessive smoking, and chewing of tobacco (gutkha). Alcohol consumption, poor oral hygiene and ill-fitting dentures add risk factors. Oral Cancer is not gender specific and can be seen in both men and women in India. This is a common disease in both the genders as now, both men as well as women are induced to tobacco addiction.
He further identifies, the primary symptoms of oral cancer can be identified when one notices red or white patches in the mouth cavity, i.e., tongue, gums or at the side of the mouth. Ulcers that do not get cured within three weeks should not be ignored since they could be early signs of oral cancer. On detecting these patches or ulcers, one must visit a dentist or a surgeon for immediate consultation. Another reason of increasing deaths resulting from oral cancer in India is delayed detection. If detected at an initial stage, oral cancer has good chances of getting cured. The problem in India is that people ignore the early signs of cancer and they only consult a doctor when the cancer has reached the third or the fourth stage. Dr Kekatpure adds treating any cancer in their latter stages can be extremely difficult. It is seen that people from the lower socio-economic strata are exposed to oral cancer more, because of their tobacco chewing habits. To avoid these complications, dentists or health workers must conduct screening programs at a community level, especially in small towns and rural areas where tobacco users are high in numbers.
Oral Cancer treatment is a social and economic burden in India, especially for Individuals who belong to the lower economic strata.
Treatments of earlier detected cancer have less economic burden and have more chances of long term survival.
In stages one and two, most oral cancer patients are successfully treated with surgery alone however in stages three and four a combination treatment with surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy may be required.


I'll be a keynote speaker at the Crafting the Long Tomorrow conference, hosted by the University of Arizona. And it's at Biosphere 2! Biosphere and Biosphere 2 were the seminal experiments in sustainable living in the early 90s. This grand experiment in the middle of the Sonora desert sparked the imaginations of many children, including myself.
The physical sciences tell us civilization and the biosphere face extreme consequences from global trends humans have set in motion, especially climate change. Multiple disciplines can illuminate both the global emergency and the long tomorrow—crafting approaches, some likely deeply unsettling, that could extend the lifespan of our species and others. Some still deliberate about the messiness of what used to be called the two cultures of arts and sciences, even as scholars have usefully blurred those boundaries.
I'll be reading from my novel After the Flare and discussing science fiction in Africa, creative inspiration, and Marvel's Black Panther.

Berchem () is a southern district of the municipality and city of Antwerp in the Flemish Region of Belgium. Berchem is located along the old Grote Steenweg (Dutch for 'Big Paved Road') that has connected Brussels to Antwerp for several centuries; the town borders the districts of Deurne, Borgerhout, Wilrijk and Antwerp and the municipality of Mortsel. Berchem itself consists of three quarters, Oud Berchem, Groenenhoek and Nieuw Kwartier.

The 'Ring', Antwerp's circular motorway which follows the track of the former city defense walls, cuts Berchem in two parts, separating the urban inner city area of Oud-Berchem (intra muros) from the more residential and suburban areas Groenenhoek, Pulhof and Nieuw Kwartier (extra muros).

Political structure
After the decentralization of Antwerp in 2000, Berchem became a semi-independent district with its own legislative body, the so-called Districtsraad (District Council), and its own executive college. The District Council includes 25 members, directly elected for six-year terms by popular vote. The executive college comprises five Aldermen (Districtsschepenen), including a District Mayor (Districtsburgemeester), who are installed by the District Council.

Points of interest
The Zurenborg area hosts a high concentration of Art Nouveau and other fin-de-siècle style townhouses, many built between 1894 and 1906. The main streets of interest are Cogels-Osylei, Transvaalstraat, and Waterloostraat. After the area was slated for demolition in the 1960s, to be replaced with a business and office complex, demolition was prevented when the area got monumental status in the 1980s. In recent years, the area has become an attraction for architecture-minded visitors.

The Driekoningenstraat - Statiestraat is the main shopping and commercial area of Berchem. Though suffering competition from suburban shopping centers, the retail highstreet still has an interesting mix of Belgian, local, and international convenience and non-food stores. The highstreet has recently been refurbished, giving more space to pedestrians.

The Groenenhoek is home to the Flemish Tram and Bus Museum.

Transport
The railway station of Antwerpen-Berchem, located within the district, is the second largest station in the city of Antwerp. With a few exceptions, such as the Thalys high-speed train, almost all trains stopping in Antwerp have a stop at Antwerpen-Berchem station. The district of Berchem is also served by the Antwerp tram routes 4,7,9,11 and 15,  and numerous bus lines, which connect Berchem with the bordering districts and communities, and are operated by the Flemish transport company De Lijn.

 the Taiwanese airline EVA Air provides shuttle bus services to and from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from Berchem, (near Antwerp-Berchem bus station); that way Belgium-based customers may use its flights to and from Amsterdam. The service is co-operated with Reizen Lauwers NV.

Sports
The local football team is Koninklijk Berchem Sport.

With cable TV in Jay Em, WY, the service goes through a network of trunk and fiber-optic cables. The cables transmit encrypted signals from the provider to the consumer, essentially sending the TV content to the TVs hooked up to this cable service in the consumer's home. Satellite TV is much different in that the consumer will have a satellite dish receiving encrypted TV show signals from a satellite.
For cable TV, the consumer is going to need a receiver. This receiver gets hooked up to an outlet in the consumer's home. It's wise for consumers to see what deals are available on receivers, as equipment discounts are common to attract new customers. Even if the consumer scores a deal, a monthly equipment rental fee is still commonplace in this industry. The advantage with cable TV is that it tends to be the far more stable and durable option than satellite TV, and that is due to the difference in how they get their signals. Bad weather usually doesn't have much of an effect on cable TV service, but satellites could easily get knocked over from heavy winds and rain, rendering them inoperable.
The installation process for cable TV is simple enough, although it can take some time. How it works is that a cable company in Jay Em, WY will send a technician out to set up the cables and cable boxes for the consumer. As these appointments can take a while, they usually cost extra. The price depends on the TV service provider, with some charging as much as $200. The consumer may sometimes need to be available for the entire day while the technician hooks up their equipment, although it's rare that the installation would take this long. Fortunately, cable companies do allow consumers to choose a specific installation day and time range, which means they'll likely just need to be home for a four or five-hour window.
An alternative with some cable providers in Jay Em, WY is a self-installation kit. This can result in less time and money spent on the consumer's part, provided they have the technical know-how to install everything themselves. A disadvantage with cable is that it requires the home to be close enough to a cable broadcast station to get connected properly. Those who live in rural areas, such as consumers up in the mountains, may not be able to get cable service. They would need to opt for satellite, instead.
Satellite Television Companies in Jay Em, WY
The process for how satellite TV gets from the provider to the consumer is a bit different, even if the end result is basically the same. The provider first transmits encrypted TV signals from one of its broadcast centers to its satellite. The satellite, in turn, sends encrypted TV signals to the satellite dishes of all the provider's customers. The obvious advantage here over cable is that a physical connection between the broadcast center and the customer's home isn't required, making satellite an option for more people. Someone in Jay Em, WY who lives out in the country, far from any cable provider, may still be able to get TV service through a satellite dish.
There can be some hefty costs when getting satellite service hooked up, especially since satellite dishes in Jay Em, WY are often expensive. The good news is that providers often give their customers the dish and the installation for free, but consumers must check the fine print to verify what's free and what they'll need to pay for. The drawback when it comes to satellite TV service is how the weather can affect it. If the wind picks up quite a bit or there's heavy snowfall, those can interfere with the customer's TV service. Although satellite dishes aren't necessarily fragile, inclement weather can put them out of commission.
Another benefit with satellite plans are that they often also have a DVR, and sometimes an HD DVR, included with the plan. This allows the customer to tape their shows, put parental controls in place and check out On Demand content. However, a free DVR is sometimes available with cable companies, as well. Either way, there's usually still a free every month for having the DVR, with most companies charging at least $10.
Fiber Optic TV Service in Jay Em, WY
Fiber optic technology often gets associated with internet service, and to its credit, it's the most impressive internet option available for residential and business customers in Jay Em, WY. The internet service goes from the provider to the customer on ultra-fast and reliable fiber optic cables. While there are still tons of consumers on DSL or cable plans, fiber optic is the superior choice and is rapidly gaining in popularity. It can deliver much faster upload and download speeds than other internet options, without any drawbacks.

Mleczka – rzeka w województwie podkarpackim, prawy dopływ Wisłoka.

Mleczka powstaje z połączenia się dwóch znacznych strumieni, Mleczki wschodniej i zachodniej, wypływających ze wzgórz Pogórza Dynowskiego.

Mleczka wschodnia powstaje ze zlewu dwóch potoków, z których wschodni spływa z północnych stoków Bukowego Garbu (426 m n.p.m.) i innych wzgórz otaczających Wolę Węgierską, zachodni zaś z powstaje z licznych strumieni we wsi Kramarzówka. Oba te potoki łączą się w Tyniowicach. Oba potoki nazywane są przez mieszkańców Mleczkami, choć na mapach wschodni potok opisany jest jako Węgierka. Przepływa ona przez Pruchnik.

Potoki źródliskowe Mleczki zachodniej wypływają ze stoków wzgórz otaczających Hadle Szklarskie (przysiółek Grzegorzówka) i Jawornik Polski. W Manasterzu uchodzi do niej potok Husówka.

Mleczka wschodnia i zachodnia łączą się w Urzejowicach i płyną dalej jako Mleczka, która uchodzi do Wisłoka na północ od Przeworska, w Gniewczynie.

W powiatach jarosławskim i przeworskim wiele mniejszych potoków nazywanych jest przez mieszkańców mleczkami. Intuicyjnie słowo mleczka kojarzy się z mlekiem, nasuwając przypuszczenia, że dawniej woda w rzece była biała jak mleko i stąd nazwa. Językoznawcy wiążą nazwę Mleczka ze słowem "młaka" oznaczającym mokradła, które ciągną się wzdłuż koryta rzeki. Historycy, badający początki osadnictwa na terenie Pogórza twierdzą natomiast, że nazwa związana jest ze słowem "mleć" i pochodzi od licznych młynów wodnych, które napędzane były przez wody potoków. Najprawdopodobniej jednak nazwa rzeki wywodzi się od białego osadu, który dawnymi czasy pokrywał jej powierzchnię. Osad ten pochodził z wymywania wapiennych skał znajdujących się w jej górnym biegu. Obecnie z powodu zanieczyszczenia rzeki osad ten nie jest widoczny. Z okresu lokacji na prawie magdeburskim Przeworska i Jarosławia odnotowano niemiecką nazwę rzeki jako Milchbach, czyli Mleczny Potok.

NOVATEK's greatest achievements and the future of LNG – interview with Mark Gyetvay
By Claudia Patricolo
While the oil and gas world is suffering a setback, Russia's second-largest natural gas producer NOVATEK reached the milestone of one trillion cubic meters in cumulative natural gas production and it is looking positively ahead.
CEENERGYNEWS spoke with Mark Gyetvay, Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of NOVATEK, regarding the great achievements of the company and the future of the LNG industry in the region.
A David and Goliath environment
NOVATEK started producing natural gas at its East-Tarkosalinskoye field with the launch of the first gas treatment unit in 1998. Twenty-two years later, it reached one trillion cubic meters in cumulative natural gas production.
"I believe there was always a misunderstanding from many people in the oil and gas industry as to the size and scale of our operations, despite our efforts over the years to highlight this very fact," says Mr Gyetvay. "When you operate in a market environment with a company like Gazprom as the main producer, it is easy to understand that we operate in a David and Goliath environment, and Gazprom's production profiles dwarf all other producers globally."
But, as Mr Gyetvay recalls, the company has steadily invested capital into its upstream production licenses over the years, thus successfully bringing on-stream a series of long-lived reserves that underpin its production profile. Today NOVATEK ranks number three globally in proved gas reserves and is considered one of the top ten producers globally.
"We are very proud of our accomplishments and our ability to successfully monetise our vast hydrocarbon resources in a prudent, low-cost manner," continues Mr Gyetvay. "With the success of our flagship LNG project, Yamal LNG, we will eventually unlock our tremendous gas resources in the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas, which ensures that NOVATEK will emerge as one of the premier LNG producers globally as well ensure continued growth in our natural gas production for many decades ahead. We are firm believers in the transition of coal to natural gas, and our LNG platform will contribute positively to the reduction of greenhouse gases and the attainment of climate change targets."
In 2017 NOVATEK launched its flagship Yamal LNG project which helped the company to move to the next level, becoming a global LNG player. Global is also the word the best describes NOVATEK's current operations. Early in September, the company announced that a final investment decision (FID) for the Arctic LNG 2 project was approved, which envisages constructing three LNG trains at 6.6 million tons per annum (mtpa) each, using gravity-based structure (GBS) platforms.
Arctic LNG 2 is our next large-scale LNG project that we are currently working on and when launched in 2023, 2024 and 2026, will produce 19.8 mtpa of LNG.
"We have already commenced work on this project by pouring concrete slabs for the first GBS unit last year, and we will shortly begin work on the second GBS later this year," Mr Gyetvay explains.
NOVATEK completed the project structure which now includes the company at 60 per cent, French integrated oil and gas company Total at 10 per cent, the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) at 10 per cent each and a consortium of Japan corporate groups Mitsui and JOGMEC at the remaining 10 per cent.
But NOVATEK is also moving towards other markets, with LNG downstream projects in both Poland and German through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NOVATEK Green Energy.
"Last April we successfully launched our medium-scale LNG project called Cyrogas-Vysotsk, where we own a 51 per cent interest in this project producing 660 thousand tons of LNG per annum," says Mr Gyetvay. "The Cryogas-Vysotsk project aims to target the Baltic region and parts of northern Europe with LNG bunker fuels with the passage of IMO 2020 [the new International Maritime Organization Low Sulphur Regulation], a reduction in sulphur from 3.5 per cent to 0.5 per cent, as well as trucks and consumers not connected to the pipeline grid."
As Mr Gyetvay pointed out, NOVATEK has also launched four LNG refuelling stations, two in Germany and two in Poland, and it is now looking at expanding its presence in these growing markets for modal transport fuels.
"We will eventually link all of this activity with the construction of an LNG terminal in the port city of Rostock, in Germany, as well as potentially expand the LNG capacity of our Cryogas-Vysotsk facility if demand warrants this expansion," he adds. "We are optimistic that LNG will play a larger role in shipping and long-haul trucks, so we will watch closely the development of these markets."
The world will still need LNG
While LMG might play a larger role in the short- and mid-term, especially as a bridge to renewable energy sources, one can argue that Central and Eastern Europe has become a consumer of gas rather than a producer or exporter. Therefore the LNG future might be limited within the region.
"Central Europe has traditionally been a coal consumer and an importer of natural gas via pipeline from Russia," admits Mr Gyetvay.
But he is optimistic. "Many countries in the region have decided to expand their supply sources and have built regasification capacity ensuring that LNG will take an increasing share of the market, but I still believe pipeline gas will be the dominant source of energy in the region," he continues. "We are at the beginning stages of transitioning economies from coal to natural gas, and this trend will be important not only for Central Europe but for many of the largest consuming regions in the world like China and India."
Mr Gyetvay reminds that Poland still uses a significant proportion of coal in its primary energy source, as the coal industry has strong lobbying power and influence inside the government, but societal changes and the push towards greener energy sources bodes well for natural gas.
We look forward to playing an increasing role in providing cleaner-burning natural gas to Central Europe and expanding our network of refuelling stations to facilitate this transition from coal to natural gas and establish a good market presence in the region.
In the future, NOVATEK will be investing capital to optimise its processing capabilities, ensuring sufficient natural gas for the Russian domestic market and at the same time expanding its LNG platform and building transhipment facilities to facilitate its LNG commercial operations.
"Specifically, we have stated that we will increase our LNG production from approximately 57 mtpa to 70 mtpa by 2030 by launching Arctic LNG 2 beginning in 2023, Obskiy LNG, and the Arctic LNG 1 project post-2025," he reveals. "At the same time, we are building transhipment complexes in Murmansk to serve westbound shipments for Europe and Kamchatka to serve eastbound shipments to the Asian Pacific markets. These two transhipment points will also serve as future reference prices to their respective regions as some of the reporting agencies have begun quoting LNG prices from these points."
When it comes to the domestic market, NOVATEK is launching its next big productive area with the launch of the North-Russkoye cluster, comprising of four licenses areas.
"This will be our first major new field launch targeting the domestic market to support and maintain our production levels of roughly 65 billion cubic meters per annum. We are also investing capital in expanding our processing capabilities at our Purovsky Processing Plant and our Ust-Luga Fractionation Complex," he concludes.

An extract from "The London Gazette," No. 30967, dated 18th Oct., 1918, records the following:-"For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in attack. On nearing the objective, his company came under heavy machine-gun fire. Through Serjt. Forsyth's dashing leadership and total disregard of danger, three machine-gun positions were rushed and the crews taken prisoner before they could inflict many casualties on our troops. During subsequent advance his company came under heavy fire from several machine guns, two of which he located by a daring reconnaissance. In his endeavour to gain support from a Tank, he was wounded, but after having the wound bandaged, he again got in touch with the Tank, which in the face of very heavy fire from machine guns and anti-Tank guns, he endeavoured to lead with magnificent coolness to a favourable position. The Tank, however, was put out of action. Serjt. Forsyth then organised the Tank crew and several of his men into a section, and led them to a position where the machine guns could be outflanked. Always under heavy fire, he directed them into positions which brought about a retirement of the enemy machine guns and enabled the advance to continue. This gallant N.C.O. was at that moment killed by a sniper. From the commencement of the attack until the time of his death Serjt. Forsyth's courage and coolness, combined with great power of initiative proved an invaluable incentive to all who were with him and he undoubtedly saved many casualties among his comrades."
Serjt. Forsyth's wife, Mary Sked Gardner or Forsyth died at Belfast City Hospital in 1970 and was interred at Cathcart Cemetery ... "....in her 76th year, for many years a nurse and Christian social worker in Belfast." His V. C. medal was sold after her death and is now part of the Lord Ashcroft collection and on display (by rotation) with over 170 others, at the Imperial War Museum, London.
His father died in 1919 and on his headstone (Karori Cemetery) Samuel's mother, Grace, had his name added with the words "He loved honour more than he feared death". In 2011 he was depicted on a set of New Zealand postage stamps featuring N. Z. Victoria Cross awardees.

I am researching the names on the Glasgow RoH.
At this moment I've identified 4000 names that for whatever reason are not on the RoH.
John McCreadie is one such name which will be added to the updated version of the RoH.

Highly derivative British zombie film The Zombie Undead ticks pretty much all of the generic low budget zombie apocalypse boxes to bring you a film which you've seen time and time again and will no doubt see time and time again in the future. This isn't a knock on the director, the writers, actors or anyone else involved here or anywhere else but a knock on this over-saturated, ridiculously stagnant sub-genre. Zombie films need to die a death. A swift bullet to the head.
Unfortunately there's nothing swift about The Zombie Undead, a painfully slow, unengaging trip down apocalypse road which never threatens to be anymore more than a director's blatantly-obvious debut feature film. With 'nods' to the likes of 28 Days Later (see: rip-offs) and the usual Romero homages, it's like a best-of zombie flick only without anything 'best' on show. Devoid of any real exposition, the film short-changes us early on with a convenient fainting to eliminate any need to explain how the zombie epidemic has come to prominence after the dirty bomb has gone off.
You know maybe if there had been some interesting characters on show then The Zombie Undead would have upped its game. But the survivors are bland, boring and wholly uninteresting and will never have you rooting for them. Writer Kris Tearse stars in the film but forgive me for forgetting his character's name or that of any of the other characters save for Sarah (and that's only because I wrote the synopsis before I watched it). There's too much wandering around the hospital, too much talking and nowhere near enough stuff to make you want to care. Yeah there's some obligatory "I did this before the apocalypse" moments to extend their dimensions from one to three but for all intents and purposes, these are a bunch of nobodies that you won't blink twice at if they don't make it until the end.
Excitement must have been blown up with the bomb because The Zombie Undead is sorely lacking it. The film chugs along blissfully unaware that it's supposed to be doing something to make itself stand out from the rest and opts to kill as much time as possible with the same inane conversations. The hospital setting looks legitimate but little use is made of it as the characters seem to spend the entire time walking along the same corridors, going in and out of the same lifts and hiding in the same toilets. Scenes last for far longer than they need to and there's a lot of filler time of people standing around looking shocked after just escaping from another zombie attack. Aside from the three main characters, there are a few other people who join the group from time to time but don't get too attached to them. After all, we need a human body count of some kind.
This is low budget so I wasn't expecting too much on the gore front. The zombies don't look as bad as I thought they would even if they were pretty much the basic face paint and ketchup variety. There is a little bit of gore with some intestines and stuff flying around but you won't get bodies being ripped apart in full view of the camera or anything crazy like that. The zombies don't seem too bothered about eating either. Sometimes they lazily attack their victims as if they are going through the motions. In other scenes the zombies are just standing around in the middle of the corridor waiting for something to happen. Yes, well we are waiting for something to happen too. It just never materialises.
Who is naming these films too? I mean come on, The Zombie Undead? I can understand that due to the sheer amount of zombie films out there it's almost impossible to come up with something original. But still….The Zombie Undead sounds ridiculous. What is it even supposed to mean? Zombies are the undead! And don't think you'll see anything as close to the images on the front cover as this flick follows the recent zombie film trend of featuring totally irrelevant (and borderline fraudulent) artwork which depicts nothing that happens in the film. If only there was half as much excitement and action in the film as there is in that cover artwork, then the world would be a better place.
The Zombie Undead is a film which lazily plays upon its clichés and familiarity to the audience but without the faintest clue of how it's going to breathe new life into a sagging sub-genre that really has reached its zenith. It's not the worst zombie film ever made but you'd be hard-pressed to remember anything about it when it's over. Watch the two-minute trailer to save yourself the other seventy-seven!
