Kyle Holland: On Saturday, the Nationals announced that they were re-signing manager Davey Johnson for the 2013 season. With the Nats clearing up the managerial situation it leaves the rest of their offseason for signing free agents. One free agent they will start with is outfielder/first baseman Nick Swisher.
Drafted in 1985 by the Montreal Expos, Randy Johnson was erratic in his early days. After trading away Mark Langston to acquire the young fireballer, the Mariners worked him into the rotation and he developed into a Hall of Famer.
Chuck Booth (Baseball Writer and @chuckbooth3024 on twitter)- When looking back at some of the pitchers that the Montreal Expos have had in their organization, you don't have go down the list very far to find Randy Johnson. He is the 'crown jewel' of the draft history record for the club. It is unfortunate the 'The Big Unit' was traded to the Seattle Mariners with Brian Holman and Gene Harris to the Mariners for rental player Mark Langston and a player to be named later. To be fair to the Montreal Expos, they were in serious contention for the pennant in 1989 and were trying to chase down the Chicago Cubs. Langston was one of the top Left Handed Aces in the Majors and he was available. Johnson was completely wild in the Minor Leagues and the Expos had a lot of veteran pitchers like Dennis Martinez and Bryn Smith that were on the back end of their careers. The time to try and win was now and they could not wait for Johnson to come around. The Expos did not succeed in capturing the pennant and Langston moved onto the California Angels as a free agent while Johnson blossomed into the premier left handed pitcher in his generation. Speaking of Martinez and Smith, they won 100 and 81 games respectively for the club. While they were not drafted by the Expos, they are 2nd and 3rd on the all-time win list.
Along with Smith and Dennis Martinez (who threw a perfect game as an Expo in 1991 and note: Bill Stoneman also threw two no-hitters for the franchise), you have to factor in the career of Pedro Martinez as an Expo for guys that were great pitchers during their prime. Pedro was acquired prior to the 1994 season from the Dodgers in exchange for the Expos departed ALL-Star second baseman Delino DeShields. Martinez went 11-5 in the strike shortened year and formed an impressive 1-2 ace combination with Ken Hill. Pedro went onto a 55-33 record and a 3.06 ERA for his 4 year Expos career. Pedro's best year with the club was 1997 where he was the NL CY Young with a 17-8 record and a 1.90 ERA. Martinez finished the year with 305 strikeouts and a ridiculous 13 complete games. Pedro ended up signing with the Boston Red Sox before the 1998 season and he ultimately won a World Series with the Beantowners in 2004. In his post game celebration, Martinez mentioned the Expos franchise and their fans. Pedro shared his triumph as a testament to them. It was talent like this that Expos could never afford to resign and would lose outright- or have to trade for prospects based on their economic viability. I will get more into this in Part 3 of the Article Series on Friday.
The Streak stands at 23 MLB Parks in 18 calendar days!!
Chuck Booth: I am the World Record Holder for-Fastest to see all 30 MLB parks in 24 days (2009)!
In 2012, I am going for 30 MLB Parks in 23 days from: April 6th to 28th.
Ken Lee, Chuck Booth and Doug Miller all at Safeco Field for the game #18 in 14 days on April.19/2012. (They would later be featured on TV several times above the King's Court Seats. ) Chuck also had a special welcome wave from the TV Jumbo Tron and was given a free gift bag from the Seattle front office.
Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Writer and @chuckbooth3024 on twitter)- Bob Devries loves baseball, this much is evidently clear when you get to know his story around the game. I am going to meet Bob in person for the doubleheader attempt of Chicago and Milwaukee. I can think of no other one person than I would rather hang out for the day in Chicago than Bob. His spirits were brought back up back in his life by visiting all of the 30 MLB parks. While my case was entirely different from Bob's, our common theme is that baseball brought us both back from the depths of despair. I had the chance to talk to Bob about life, baseball and how we share the unique distinction of being the only two people on the planet to have attended a game in every park as a fan for two consecutive years in a row.
BD: "I am just your average, soon to be 49-year-old sports fan. I got married last summer to someone who I have known since we were in the 6th grade and reconnected on Facebook. Charlie (Charlene) and I make our home in McHenry, IL. I work for a distribution company as a logistics manager. I have a stepson, Brent, who is of all things, is a St. Louis Cardinal fan. Brent got to live out a baseball fans' dream this past season. He was at Busch Stadium for game 6 and 7 of the World Series.
My life as a Cub fan started in 1971 when my dad took me to Wrigley Field for my birthday. I often wonder if we would have gone to old Comiskey Park for a Sox game that day would I be a Sox fan today, thankfully we went to Wrigley.
Chuck Booth- (Lead Baseball Writer and @chuckbooth3024 on twitter)- Today's expert is Kurt Smith. Kurt will be the interview subject of the following parks: Citizens Bank Ball Park Tropicana Field and today's featured expert Article of Turner Field. Kurt is highly respected in the ball park chaser community for his BallparkEGuides. After you are done reading this article I implore you trust in Kurt to deliver up tips and suggestive idea's on how to make your stadium visits affordable and pleasurable. I had a chance to ask some questions of the man recently.
KS: "I've been to Turner Field for a few games and a tour, in researching for the Turner Field E-Guide that is available at my website. I wouldn't call myself a Braves fan necessarily, but there are a lot of things I like about the team. They have a history of great players like Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Dale Murphy, and I loved watching Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine pitch in their prime. Turner Field is a fine ballpark too; they did a nice job tearing it up after the Olympics and on a nice day it's as good a place as any to see a game. Braves games are very affordable too; the team gives a lot of value even though they are putting a pretty good product on the field. So in a pinch, I could certainly pull for the Braves.
Douglas 'Chuck' Booth (Baseball Writer)- Since writing about traveling to ballparks is what I know most about, I thought I would take the next 9 weeks (before the season starts) writing articles that extensively go through every part of my expertise. Over the course of the last five years I have done countless hours of research on this subject matter, so I am going to share my information with you in hopes you may save some time or money this 2012 MLB season. I am sharing my knowledge of: baseball tickets, maps, frequent flier miles/reward points, car rentals vs. driving your own car, hotels, airports and finally time management & budgeting. Here is a sneak preview of what I will be posting.
The best way to ensure that you have money available on your credit card, (keeping in mind that most rental places take a $200 minimum deposit), is to bid on your car through www.priceline .com. There is a feature where you can bid on your car rental for specific airport locations called 'BID NOW.' You can offer a price that you have to pay immediately, but in most cases you will find a serious discount. I have often bid 40% of the average car rental per airport price and had the offer go through. Anyways, 80% of the time your winning bid will come back to rent from Alamo/National Car Rental.
Alamo/National is the best car rental company by far in the United States. Not only do they have exceptional customer service—–they also do not charge your credit card for any $ amount more than the price of your rental. Do yourself a favor and also sign up for 'The Emerald Club Rewards Program' from National. They have airport bypass the counter options that enable you to USE self-serving kiosks that do not require you to stand in line at the car centers-rather pick your class of car and proceed to the exit. Other car rental companies have deposit charges that are held against your credit card. If you are going on a 4 city trip, you can easily have up to $800-1000 dollars locked up in these deposits, this can be harmful in you enjoying your trip. Not all of us have the affordability to have so much money unavailable. An average of 5-8 days is what it will take for the deposited dollars to be restored when your car rental is completed. National is the only car rental company in which you can redeem a free earned day car rental for a one-way drop off without paying an excessive fee if you have earned a free rental reward day. I will give you an example. This means you can rent a car in Los Angeles and drop it off it Albuquerque, New Mexico within the 24 hours for no money extra. Also with this incredible deal, is that you pay just pennies in taxes for your accrued free rental days, where other car rental places can charge up to $20-30 just in taxes alone despite offering you the free day for a rental reward. Perfect for that baseball traveler that wants to head in one direction!
Priceline is great for bidding on car rentals, but is also fantastic for hotel rentals where you can use the same option to bid for your price of hotels. Honestly, when we are all in the middle of a big baseball road trip, the last thing we want is to spend excessive amounts of money on a hotel we are not going to use other than a quick sleep and shower. Wouldn't you rather spend a lot more time at the ball yard? Again by bidding on the hotel, and paying for it right away you can ensure on a more of a budget/cost certainty. Even if the front desks take a small deposit at time of check in—these transactions are quickly released when you check out. The best to bid is too low-ball your first few offers, then gradually increase your bidding. Now Priceline does make you alter your bid for every declined request you submit, so the key is to not act aggressive in frustration when you don't win the bid. The key here is to be patient. After 24 hours, you can re-open up all columns to bid again with an increased offer from your first one. Just chart your offers to slightly increase your amount until you have success. I would not suggest you use Priceline for airline flights because the winning bid will usually feature layovers, or more importantly, the times of the flights on won bids may not be conducive to arriving in time for a baseball game in your destination city.
For those economy travelers such as myself, I implore you to use Motel 6 and/or Super 8 as hotel chains to stay throughout the USA. They are decent hotels for the $value you pay. The best feature about these hotels is the ability to check in by 11am-12pm. Most 3-5 star hotels have check in times that start and 3 or 4pm. Again if you are flying or driving in from some other place do you really want to drive around for 3-4 hours sight-seeing because you are simply waiting for a check in time? Most baseball parks open their gates by 5PM for night games. Plus with these places cash is preferred, so they do not require a deposit on your credit card. If you are staying in the same city or have sufficient time to stay in one hotel, I would recommend you use Priceline to bid on your hotels. You can save up to 50% off with winning bids on 2-5 star hotels. Keep in mind that most of those hotels can save you money vs the budget hotels, with their free breakfasts.
Both of these methods of transportation are a great way to see a bunch of baseball games fast while missing a lot of cluttered highway traffic, particularly in: New York-Baltimore-Washington-Philadelphia-Chicago-Milwaukee. Not only will you save gas/traffic scenarios-but Amtrak has a baggage check option at most stations for $3-4 dollars an item per day. All you have to do is have an itinerary, (coming or going) and you can check your luggage items. You will have to monitor the hours of operation for these places-however this option is exceptional when attending matinée games in any of these cities. New York's Amtrak Station-(New York Penn Station), is a life saver when you can drop off your luggage and avoid renting a car. 'Greyhound Bus Lines' is also a good alternative for this in the cities of : Tampa Bay-Miami-Los Angeles-San Diego-Minnesota-Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
Early morning flights are usually the cheapest airfares. I always use www.kayak.com when booking flights into baseball cities. If you are flying to cities like Cincinnati-Milwaukee-Detroit-Houston-Atlanta-or Dallas you may be shocked at how much they charge for flights. There is a way to get back at those airlines. I have done the following several times. Since these are hubs for other cities from big airlines, I would check flights from your starting departure and use your intended city of these listed above as a stop-over and then you can walk off the plane during the stop-over if it is cheaper—-and providing you are traveling without checked baggage—example. Three years ago I had to fly from Pittsburgh to Detroit during a double-header attempt for the first day of my World Record Chase. I needed a Pittsburgh Northwest Airlines flight that left at 5:15 PM directly to Detroit that arrived at 6:28 PM—it was the only non-stop flight that I could get that would give me a chance to make the Detroit game on time. There was a problem when the price came back was $500 for what was less than a 500 mile flight! I went to work with my strategy. I came up with a flight from Pittsburgh to Chicago-with the 1st leg of the trip being my flight that arrived in Detroit at 6:28 as the layover. The price for this flight was $130. There are many instances of this. I will explain more in the book how I used this scenario for a flexible schedule in case of make-up games.
Southwest Airlines–'I wanna get away' feature at http://www.southwest.com is a good price point for all of this airline's domestic flights. Southwest might be marginally higher in price than some other airlines, however they do not charge for the 1st 2 checked bags as you may have seen from their steady TV Ad Campaign. They also do not charge transfer flight fees. This airline is setting the pace for customer price gouging acknowledgement.
Air Tran Airways-Quite frankly, they are the best airline in the USA for MLB fans. They are cheap, have newer airplanes with the most leg space for a coach ticket. They also offer more one-way non-stop tickets in the morning. Oh yeah…They are the official airline of XM Sirius Radio. You can listen to MLB games live in flight, or during off hours you can catch up on all of your favorite shows on XM Home Plate. Air Tran only charges $75 in case you have to change your flight at anytime plus the difference in flight. This price is half of most of the legacy airlines. Should you miss your Air Tran flight they also let you fly stand-by for the rest of the day on any remaining flights to your city of destination.
This is just the start as I will provide a game plan for all of the 30 MLB cities. I will take a look at all facets/methods of travel-that will include money and time-saving tips. After all, don't we all want to see as many baseball games as we can without being hit in the pocket-book?

1. Purpose and scope of the company's Video-surveillance Policy
For the safety and security of its buildings, assets, staff and visitors, our company operates a video-surveillance system. This Video-surveillance Policy, along with its attachments, describes the company's video-surveillance system and the safeguards that the company takes to protect personal data, privacy and other fundamental rights and legitimate interests of those caught on the cameras.
2. How do we ensure that our video-surveillance system is designed with privacy and data protection concerns in mind and is compliant with data protection law?
2.1. Revision of the existing system.
A video-surveillance system had already been operating in our company before the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") came into effect on May 25, 2018. Our procedures, however, have since then been revised to comply with the GDPR.
2.2. Compliance status.
The company processes the images in accordance with the GDPR and national law. We based our procedures on the Video-Surveillance Guidelines by the European Data Protection Supervisor ("Guidelines").
2.3. Self-audit.
The system was subject to a self-audit. The audit report is available for authorized staff.
2.4. Contacts with the relevant data protection authority in the Member State.
The competent data protection authority in the Netherlands was informed and its concerns and recommendations were taken into account. In particular, this Video-surveillance Policy is also available in Dutch.
2.5. Director's decision and consultation.
The decision to use the current video-surveillance system and to adopt the safeguards as described in this Video-surveillance Policy was made by the Managing Director of the company after consulting:
the company's Privacy Officer,
and the Staff Committee / Workers Council.
During this decision-making process, the company
demonstrated and documented the need for a video-surveillance system as proposed in this policy,
discussed alternatives and concluded that the maintenance of the current video-surveillance system, after the adoption of the data protection safeguards proposed in this policy, is necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in Section 1 (see Guidelines, Section 5), and
addressed the concerns of the Privacy Officer and the Staff Committee / Workers Council (see Guidelines, Section 4).
2.6. Transparency.
The Video-surveillance Policy has two versions, a version for restricted use and this public version available and posted on our internet site at https://stcorp.nl/privacy. This public version of the Video- surveillance Policy may contain summary information with respect to particular topics or attachments. When this is the case, it is always clearly stated. Information is only omitted from the public version when the preservation of confidentiality is absolutely necessary for compelling reasons (e.g. for security reasons or to preserve the confidentiality of commercially sensitive information or to protect the privacy of individuals).
2.7. Periodic reviews.
A periodic data protection review will be undertaken by the security unit every two years, the first by 31 May 2020. During the periodic reviews we will re-assess that:
there continues to be a need for the video-surveillance system,
the system continues to serve its declared purpose, and
that adequate alternatives remain unavailable.
The periodic reviews will also cover all other issues addressed in the first report, in particular, whether our Video-Surveillance Policy continues to comply with the GDPR, with national law, and the Guidelines (adequacy audit), and whether it is followed in practice (compliance audit). Copies of the periodic reports will also be attached to this Video-surveillance Policy in Attachment 1 [excluded from public version].
2.8. Privacy-friendly technological solutions.
We also implemented the following privacy-friendly technological solutions (see Guidelines, Section 3.4):
[list and describe the solutions implemented]
3. What areas are under surveillance?
The video-surveillance system consists of a number of fixed cameras. Cameras are located at all entry and exit points of our building, including the main entrance, emergency and fire exits and the entrance to the parking lot.
We also do not monitor any areas under heightened expectations of privacy such as individual offices, leisure areas, toilet facilities and others (see Guidelines, Section 6.8). The location of the cameras was carefully reviewed to ensure that they minimise the monitoring of areas that are not relevant for the intended purposes (Guidelines, Section 6.1).
Monitoring outside our building in public spaces is limited to an absolute minimum, as recommended in Section 6.5 of the Guidelines.
4. What personal information do we collect and for what purpose?
4.1. Summary description and detailed technical specifications for the system.
The video-surveillance system is a conventional static system. It records digital images and is equipped with motion detection. It records any movement detected by the cameras in the area under surveillance, together with time, date and location. All cameras operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The image quality in most cases allows identification of those in the camera's area of coverage (see Guidelines, Section 6.4).
We do not use high-tech or intelligent video-surveillance technology (see Section 6.9 of the Guidelines), do not interconnect our system with other systems (Section 6.10), and we do not use covert surveillance (Section 6.11), sound recording, or "talking CCTV" (Section 6.12).
4.2. Purpose of the surveillance.
The company uses its video-surveillance system for the sole purposes of security and access control. The video-surveillance system helps control access to our building and helps ensure the security of our building, the safety of our staff and visitors, as well as property and information located or stored on the premises. It complements other physical security systems such as access control systems and physical intrusion control systems. It forms part of the measures to support our broader security policies and helps prevent, deter, and if necessary, investigate unauthorised physical access, including unauthorised access to secure premises and protected rooms, IT infrastructure, or operational information. In addition, video-surveillance helps prevent, detect and investigate theft of equipment or assets owned by the company, visitors or staff, and threats to the safety of visitors or personnel working at the office (e.g. fire, physical assault).
4.3. Purpose limitation.
The system is not used for any other purpose, for example, it is not used to monitor the work of employees or to monitor attendance. Neither is the system used as an investigative tool (other than investigating physical security incidents such as thefts or unauthorised access). It is only in exceptional circumstances that the images may be transferred to investigatory bodies in the framework of a formal disciplinary or criminal investigation as described in Section 6.5 below (see Sections 5.7, 5.8 and 10.3 of the Guidelines).
4.4. No ad hoc surveillance foreseen.
We foresee no ad hoc surveillance operations for which we would need to plan at this time (see Guidelines, Section 3.5).
4.5. Webcams.
We have no webcams (see Section 5.10 of the Guidelines).
4.6. No special categories of data collected.
We collect no special categories of data (Section 6.7 of the Guidelines).
5. What is the lawful ground and legal basis of the video-surveillance?
The use of our video-surveillance system is necessary for the management and functioning of our company (for the security and access control purpose described in Section 4.2 above). Therefore, we have a lawful ground for the video-surveillance (see Section 5.2 of the Guidelines). A more detailed and specific legal basis for the video-surveillance is provided in this Video-surveillance Policy. This policy, in turn, forms part of the broader security policies adopted by our company.
6. Who has access to the information and to whom is it disclosed?
6.1. In-house security staff and outsourced security-guards.
Both recorded video and live video is accessible to our in-house security staff only.
6.2. Access rights.
The company's Security Policy for Video-surveillance (see Section 7 below) clearly specifies and documents who has access to the video-surveillance footage and/or the technical architecture of the video-surveillance system, for what purpose and what those access rights consist of. In particular, the document specifies who has the right to:
view the footage real-time,
view the recorded footage, or
delete, or
alter any footage.
6.3. Data protection training.
All personnel with access rights were given their first data protection training. Training is provided for each new member of the staff and periodic workshops on data protection compliance issues are carried out at least once every two years for all staff with access rights (see Section 8.2 of the Guidelines).
6.4. Confidentiality undertakings.
After the training, each staff member with access rights also signed a confidentiality undertaking.
6.5. Transfers and disclosures.
All transfers and disclosures outside the security unit are documented and subject to a rigorous assessment of the necessity of such transfer and the compatibility of the purposes of the transfer with the initial security and access control purpose of the processing (see Section 10 of the Guidelines). The Privacy Officer of the company is consulted in each case.
No access is given to management or human resources.
Local police may be given access if needed to investigate or prosecute criminal offenses. On no occasion was access given to the police for the past five years for which we hold records of transfers.
Under exceptional circumstances, access may also be given to those carrying out a formal internal investigation or disciplinary procedure within the company, provided that it can be reasonably expected that the transfers may help investigation or prosecution of a sufficiently serious disciplinary offense or a criminal offense. No requests for data mining are accommodated. For the past five years for which we hold records of transfers, we have not authorised a transfer under any of the above grounds.
7. How do we protect and safeguard the information?
In order to protect the security of the video-surveillance system, including personal data, a number of technical and organisational measures have been put in place. These are detailed in a processing-specific security policy ("Security Policy for Video-surveillance"), which is available only on our access-restricted intranet for security reasons. The company's Security Policy for Video-surveillance was established in accordance with Section 9 of the EDPS Video-surveillance Guidelines.
Among others, the following measures are taken:
Any recorded images are stored on servers hosted on secure premises, protected by physical security measures; network firewalls protect the logic perimeter of the IT infrastructure; and the main computer systems holding the data are security hardened.
Administrative measures include the obligation of all outsourced personnel having access to the system (including those maintaining the equipment and the systems) to be individually security cleared.
All staff (external and internal) signed non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements when accepting their (employment) contract.
Access rights to users are granted to only those resources which are strictly necessary to carry out their jobs.
Only the system administrator specifically appointed by the controller for this purpose is able to grant, alter or annul any access rights of any persons. Any provision, alteration or annulment of access rights is made pursuant to the criteria established in the Security Policy for Video-surveillance.
The Security Policy for Video-surveillance contains an up-to-date list of all persons having access to the system at all times and describes their access rights in detail.
8. How long do we keep the data?
Images are stored for a maximum of 48 hours. Thereafter, all images are deleted. If any image needs to be stored to further investigate or evidence a security incident, they may be retained as necessary. Their retention is rigorously documented and the need for retention is periodically reviewed.
The system is also monitored live by security personnel either upon an alarm or other notification of a security incident, or at random moments outside of regular office hours. The system is not monitored live in any other situation.
9. How do we provide information to the public?
9.1. Multi-layer approach.
We provide information to the public about the video- surveillance in an effective and comprehensive manner (see Guidelines, Section 11). To this end, we follow a multi-layer approach, which consists of a combination of the following two methods:
on-the-spot notices to alert the public to the fact that monitoring takes place and provide them with essential information about the processing, and
we post this Video-surveillance Policy on our intranet and also on our internet sites for those wishing to know more about the video-surveillance practices of our company.
Print-outs of this Video-surveillance Policy are also available at our building reception staff and from our security unit upon request. A phone number and an email address are provided for further inquiries.
We also provide on-the-spot notice adjacent to the areas monitored, indicated by a pictogram similar to the one above. We placed a notice near all entrances to the building.
9.2. Specific individual notice.
In addition, individuals must also be given individual notice if they were identified on camera (for example, by security staff in a security investigation) provided that one or more of the following conditions also apply:
their identity is noted in any files/records,
the video recording is used against the individual,
kept beyond the regular retention period,
transferred outside the security unit, or
if the identity of the individual is disclosed to anyone outside the security unit.
Provision of notice may sometimes be delayed temporarily, for example, if it is necessary for the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offenses. The company's Privacy Officer is consulted in all such cases to ensure that the individual's rights are respected.
10. How can members of the public verify, modify or delete their information?
Members of the public have the right to access the personal data we hold on them and to correct and complete such data. Any request for access, rectification, blocking and/or erasing of personal data should be directed to the Privacy Officer, currently Marjolein Vliegenthart, privacy@stcorp.nl, +31(0)15 2629889. She may also be contacted in case of any other questions relating to the processing of personal data.
The company's policy regarding data access rights can be found on the intranet and our website (https://stcorp.nl/privacy). Data access rights can also be executed from this webpage directly.
11. Right of recourse
Every individual has the right of recourse to the Data Protection Authority - the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands for our company - if they consider that their rights under Regulation 45/2001 have been infringed as a result of the processing of their personal data by the company. Before doing so, we kindly request that individuals first try to obtain recourse by contacting the Privacy Officer of the company:
Ms. Marjolein Vliegenthart, privacy@stcorp.nl, +31(0)15 2629889
12. How do we reference this privacy statement?

LPS awarded $1.8 million DOE grant for modular low-head hydro
Today we were pleased to find out that we received a $1.8 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop our design for low-head hydro equipment:
http://energy.gov/eere/articles/energy-department-awards-65-million-advance-low-environmental-impact-hydropower
Assessments sponsored by the DOE show that domestic new stream reach potential in the USA alone is about 460 TWh per year. But one of the major problems with harnessing this potential is that LCOE estimates are often much higher than the cost of conventional electricity. The economics ne marchent pas, so to say.
Recognizing this problem and opportunity, LPS conceived a modular low head system, scalable for head from approximately 7 to 50 feet depending on the type of deployment. The system is designed principally for run-of-the-river applications, i.e., installations where you're not impounding a significant body of water. Up-front costs are very low due to an innovative form factor: the components of the system are prefabricated, transported and in fact deployed in modified recycled ISO shipping containers.
The design makes for a highly scalable system. Loosely analogous to solar panels, small or large installations can be made from the same modules – there are just more of them, ganged together.
Repurposing used shipping containers, which are available nearly for free, is highly energy efficient in its own right. A key issue with any renewable energy technology is whether it can pay back the energy needed to manufacture, install, operate and decommission it reasonably quickly -- in other words the "ERoEI" or Energy Return on Energy Invested. Without achieving an adequate energy return it would be pointless to develop such technology, as the pollution from manufacturing it would not be balanced by the savings from using it. LPS believes that real-world ERoEI using recycled/repurposed containers can be as low as 6 to 12 months, out of a project life in excess of 20 years. This suggests a payback of 20 to 40 times ERoEI, which we believe is a good return by any standard.

Dengue Active and Rising: Health Authorities
Honiara has so far recorded the highest prevalence of dengue fever with 89 per cent of reported cases.
Source: Photo supplied
The Permanent Secretary for Health and Medical Services says the dengue fever outbreak is still active and is not showing any signs of slowing down.
Dr Lester Ross says the ministry's latest Cluster Surveillance Report of 18 April has recorded a total of 3,189 reported dengue cases.
He says this is an increase of 485 from the previous week.
Dr Ross says 849 cases have since tested positive through the Rapid Diagnostic Testing method.
The Permanent Secretary adds that most of the provinces have reported dengue cases, except Makira and Rennell/Bellona provinces.
In the meantime, deaths related to the dengue fever has now risen to four, with the latest being a 13 year old female.
Dr Ross confirmed the latest fatality in a press conference in Honiara today.
Dr Ross says the 13 year old was initially tested negative through the Rapid Diagnostic Testing at the National Referral Hospital, but her results tested abroad showed otherwise.
"This is a concern, but we are looking into it, although I can assure the public that these tests are very accurate and are used widely."
Dr Ross says the Health Minister will seek Cabinet endorsement on the establishment of a National Task Force on dengue and a Contingency Warrant of about SB$2 million dollars to support the ministry's fight against dengue fever.

Taxpayers earning $250,000 to $500,000 were refunded $14.6 billion this year versus $10.6 billion last year. Despite that drop, taxpayers with adjusted annual gross incomes between $250,000 and $500,000 were refunded $14.6 billion this year, compared to $10.6 billion last year.
With this best case in mind, let's look at seven ways you can legally earn or receive tax-free income.Contribute to a Roth IRA. … Sell your home. … Invest in municipal bonds. … Hold your stocks for the long-term. … Contribute to a Health Savings Account. … Receive a gift. … Rent your home.
The so-called 183-day rule serves as a ruler and is the most simple guideline for determining tax residency. It basically states, that if a person spends more than half of the year (183 days) in a single country, then this person will become a tax resident of that country.
You're automatically resident if either:you spent 183 or more days in the UK in the tax year.your only home was in the UK – you must have owned, rented or lived in it for at least 91 days in total – and you spent at least 30 days there in the tax year.
Spanish residents with UK state pensions or occupational pension income are taxable in Spain and not in the UK, under the terms of the UK-Spain Double Taxation Treaty.
3 monthsVisas. If you hold a British Citizen passport, you don't need a visa to enter Spain. If you're planning a stay of longer than 3 months, see our Living in Spain guide and contact the Spanish Embassy if you have further questions.
Even if you spend less than 183 days in either it may still be possible to be resident in both. In Spain you are deemed tax resident if you have dependent spouse and/or family. … So, just to confirm you will always pay tax in the UK.
As long as you're no longer tax resident in any country (including country of birth, citizenship, but also others where you've lived/worked/have a connection) according to those countries' domestic rules, it's totally possible to be a tax resident of nowhere.
Your Tax Shop recommends for you to set aside 25% of your profits (incomings less outgoings), if your profit is less than £50,000. If your profit is above this figure, then you will need to set more aside, or maybe consider the tax benefits of setting up a limited company.
There are also other legal ways to avoid tax which are well worth looking at.Use your Isa allowance. … Save into a pension. … Use your capital gains tax allowance. … Use your partner or spouse's tax allowance. … Use childcare vouchers. … Think about where you buy your insurance from. … Eat more healthily.
If you're not UK resident, you will not have to pay UK tax on your foreign income. If you're UK resident, you'll normally pay tax on your foreign income. But you may not have to if your permanent home ('domicile') is abroad.
They have a home in the UK for 91 consecutive days or more (where at least 30 days of that period fall within the tax year in question), are present there for some time on at least 30 days in the tax year, and during that 91 day period either have no home overseas, or have one or more such homes but are present for …
UK pension lump sums are tax-free in the UK, but are taxable in Spain if received whilst Spanish tax resident. … The taxable amount is calculated as the difference between the capital received and the contributions you made and this 'income' proportion of the lump sum will be taxed at 18%.
You can spend more time in the UK – up to 182 days in any tax year and remain tax resident, as long as you don't become tax resident in another country, by being resident for more than 183 days. 120 Days – to stay in the UK up to 120 days you must have 2 or less ties to the UK.

The Indian expedition that traced Marco Polos journey
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Odishatv Bureau Last updated May 26, 2016 - 3:01 PM
New Delhi: Climbers who conquer Mt Everest, the world` tallest mountain, say they are often mesmerised by what lies ahead of them, the mysterious land of Central Asia that has lured adventurers, pilgrims, historians and legendary travelers from across the world for over 3,000 years.
"Yet, nothing you may have read or heard about the Silk Route can prepare you for the deep emotions that echo through your soul as you journey through this historic land," says Major H P S Ahluwalia who has penned "Tracing Marco Polo`s Journey: The Silk Route", an account of his fascinating adventure through the legendary route undertaken by explorers like Marco Polo.
The book was launched by the Union Minister for Statistics and Programme Implementation, M S Gill in a function here late last evening.
Ahluwalia, vice president of Himalayan Research and Cultural Foundation, and his team – a group of 20 adventure lovers had in 1994 set out on a 12,000 km expedition along the Silk Route through the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan; China and Nepal.
The book published by Niyogi contains a vivid, first- hand account of the diverse, adventurous trip through cities as exotic as Bukhara, Samarkhand, Andhijan, Xian, Yarkhand, Kashgar and Lhasa; lush oases such as Hotan and Turfan; the grand Gobi and Taklamakan deserts; ancient monuments and mosques; and winding up finally at the monasteries in the Himalayas.

'Stuffings' Review
by Alain Elliott
Stars: Kathleen Halligan, Daniel Moody, Isabella Robinson, Ognjen Trisic, Marcello D'Onofrio, Georgia Williams, Adam Bullmore, Josh Talbot-Smith | Written and Directed by Mathew J. Wilkinson
Australia has a good history of horror movies. It's a varied bunch of greatness to from The Babadook to The Loved Ones to Wolf Creek to Rogue to Lake Mungo. Recently a few comedy horrors have stood out too with the excellent Little Monsters and very funny movies like 100 Bloody Acres, so with a much loved Christmas setting, I was hoping Stuffings could be added to the great Australian comedy horror list.
The premise is a slightly modern take on a familiar horror story. A young social media celebrity couple 'Andy and Bec', camp out in the Adelaide Hills on Christmas Eve. With at least one of them wanting to briefly get away from the technology they are obsessed with. Unfortunately the accidentally discover a Christmas tradition at a local community that leads them struggling for their own lives.
It might sound like an original idea but it's basically 'outsiders get stuck in a local community that are trying to kill them'. That is very simplified but it does very much feel like you've seen it before.
As much as I would normally love the Christmas setting, Stuffings probably would have been better suited for a Halloween timeline (okay it would have to have completely changed the look of its villain). A yearly ritual where people are sacrificed feels much more Halloween-y. I would have probably ignored this if the filmmakers had gone all-out with all things Christmas but they don't. I know this is set in Australia so I wasn't expecting snow but there's a distinct lack of Christmas trees, lights, decorations of any kind or seasonal joy. There are a few attempts at Christmas music but they don't really work.
That said, the distorted, strange-looking Santa Claus killer was a hit for me. In the still image I have seen for the promotion of the movie, it looks kind of amateurish and I thought it worked much better in action. He looks solidly, slightly overweight built, moves like a killer and the weird hand-drawn face is creepy when in motion. Unfortunately there is definitely a lack of good death scenes – much needed in a low budget slasher – and only one scene involving a lot of fake guts of a car windhsield comes anywhere near the amount of bloodshed I would have liked to have seen.
It was no surprise to me that much of the cast are inexperienced actors but that doesn't mean this isa dud when it comes to performances. Kathleen Halligan and Daniel Moody as Bec and Andy show good chemistry together and this is very much needed because they are on screen a lot together. You could easily believe they have their own YouTube show as seen in the movie. Unfortunately, as with the rest of the cast, when the acting needs to be more serious, it isn't quite as consistent.
At less than eighty minutes, I would struggle not to recommend Stuffings to slasher fans, especially those used to watching low budget horror. It might not be the funniest or most blood-filled but it's an easy watch that many horror fans will enjoy.
Stuffings is available on Google Play, Youtube Movies, Microsoft Store, Tubi TV and Prime Video now.

" Where That 'Compassionate Conservative' Label Came From	"
Where That 'Compassionate Conservative' Label Came From
A Tribute to a Late Pope - a Genuine Compassionate Conservative - Ripped Off for a Campaign Slogan...
By Margie Burns on 7/25/2007, 5:39am PT
Guest blogged from DC by Margie Burns
(NOTE: Margie will appear on today's Peter B. Collins Show as Guest Hosted by Brad Friedman, to discuss this article.)
Team Bush began describing candidate George W. Bush as a "compassionate conservative" in 1998, when Bush began his open run for president, as opposed to the behind-the-scenes operation that had begun with his first run for governor of Texas in 1994. By the time the 2000 presidential campaign was in full swing, probably every American with a television had heard the label. In fact, as the actual election approached, the Bush campaign often took to preferring "reformer with results" --- reacting to a margin of diminishing returns for "compassionate conservative."
Where did they get the "compassionate conservative" label? Hardly anyone would remember or notice in 1998, but the New York Times had run it front-page on August 7, 1978, when Pope Paul VI died and the Times ran his photograph, captioned prominently as a "Compassionate Conservative," above the fold. Originally the phrase was a genuine tribute to honor a man who by all accounts deserved it (see below). Its recycling by the Bush campaign was a tactic designed to help Bush seem 'centrist.'
But a 1978 issue of the Times was not the first step in resurrecting "compassionate conservative" as a campaign slogan...
The Seventies with all their dead celebrities were long gone by the time Bush's Pioneers – supporters who could bundle campaign contributions of at least $100,000 apiece for the election – were influencing the corporate media to lend candidate Bush attention, credibility, and an aura of inevitability as some of the same entities are now doing for Mrs. Clinton. Someone visited a library – and remember, personnel from the Bush White House do not necessarily often see the inside of a library – and stumbled across the perfect amalgam of phony heart and genuine imposition to serve as a fig leaf for the press, enabling it to pretend that George Walker Bush was a credible candidate for the nation's highest office.
Library research is always partly a kind of detective work, including what used to be called 'oppo research' – investigating an opposition candidate – and anticipatory research, investigating your own guy to pre-empt or to guard against anything the other side might turn up, like for instance checking out Bush's numerous relatives in business and politics. The original source for this particular "compassionate conservative" legend was not the New York Times newspaper but an older library reference work titled The New York Times Obituaries Index, 1969-1978.
In the reference book, the reader finds among other obits the Paul VI entry, pages 148-150, including the article pulled from the front page titled "Compassionate Conservative."
The phrase "compassionate conservative"? – from a campaign POV, perfect: sonorous but meaningless, nothing the candidate could be pinned down on. Ostensibly 'centrist,' without actually stating any two goals that would be balanced, much less achieved. No promises on policy; only a vague nod to a superficial tone of temperance. No one hearing the phrase "compassionate conservative" ad nauseam could suspect that the man wearing this label had designs on Iraq and its 30 years' worth of mineral resources, just sufficient to shore up the positions of Fortune-500 CEOs for the rest of Bush's public lifetime. How better to distract from Ralph Nader's dismissal of candidate Bush as basically "a group of corporations running as a man."
That the late pontiff might not have appreciated having his legacy pillaged by Team Bush seems not to have slowed them down.Paul VI was admired for, among other things, repeatedly calling for peace in Vietnam, creating a presence for the church in moral judgments of international affairs, breaking new ground in establishing relationships between Christians and non-Christians, and showing by example a concern for working people. His version of compassionate conservatism is summed up in the Times as follows:
He was a progressive exponent of human rights, a position that contrasted with his conservatism on church doctrine. He appealed for commitment to conventional Catholic principles as ardently as he championed the cause of the poor, the hungry and the oppressed.
Born Giovanni Battista Montini, the pope had a complex career that still presents some apparently unanswered questions about his dealings in international relations during World War II, but he was undeniably a premier example of local boy who makes good – a genuinely brilliant mind from the provinces who worked his way up into the biggest of red-hat big leagues, if you look at it that way. A nice-looking young man, too, in case that matters.
Even in ironic times, it is hideously ironic that Montini's image could be appropriated to characterize the 1999-2000 ersatz narrative of George W. Bush as boy-from-the-provinces. Genuinely undereducated though the younger George Bush may have been, he was still the kind of guy who when he was living in Texas (for very few of his growing-up years) would wear sockless loafers, yuppie style; and who, when he moved to New England and Yale, would wear cowboy boots and indulge in chewing tobacco, kicker style. The common denominator or guiding principle here, often connected with substance abuse, is --- always shift to terrain where your competition is easier.
The index pages of the reference book shows among the departed within the same time frame George Herbert Walker, Jr. (1905?-1977), original investor and sponsor of the New York Mets; later head of the Yale Baseball Committee and member of Yale's Board of Athletic Control; and cousin of George H. W. Bush, who had been named after Walker's father. For 38 years, Walker was senior partner of G. H. Walker & Co., the financial firm that gave the elder Bush a leg up in life; when Walker Co. merged in 1974 with Wall Street investment firm White, Weld, & Co, Walker became a director there also. The company has more recently been named Merrill Lynch White Weld. Other Walker connections included the Walker-Bush Oil Corporation and Zapata Petroleum, G. H. W. Bush's company. Walker's son George Herbert Walker III, named to an ambassadorship by Bush 43 and a Bush Pioneer, also turns up in numerous corporate connections as well as in public records when sued by his first wife over child support. Walker is also a millionaire.
Little to none of the above information was reported during the 2000 election campaign by either the New York Times or the Washington Post, by the way. The 'meat grinder' must have been turned off that year, while Warren Buffett --- the WashPost's biggest investor --- was working and networking to help Bush, and Bush's so-called 'education reforms' were set to enrich Kaplan Learning, the testing and test-prepping conglomerate in the Washington Post Company's education sector.
The White House operatives who came up with "compassionate conservative" not only did not invent their own slogan, they found it in the course of doing anticipatory oppo research on some of the convoluted Bush family connections in the world of finance that got their man into office. In retrospect, it seems a pity that no senior prelate in the Catholic Church happened to remember or to recognize the source of the hand-me-down. Better information might have led to some enlightened skepticism in press and public alike, about Bush's claims to be either compassionate or particularly conservative, or for that matter a "uniter," etc.
But then, in retrospect it seems a tragedy not only that the horrible pattern of sexual molesting of children in the church happened at all, and not only that it was so cruelly denied and covered up for so long, but also that it was finally exposed only just in time to keep the church from being a moral force to prevent the Iraq war.

Compassionate Conservative a.k.a. Kompassionate Konservative Kristians . . .


"Younger" is a show I started watching not too long ago. It's a cute premise – a 40-year-old recently divorced woman (Liza) tries to go back to work after being a stay-at-home mom for twenty years. She attempts to go back to publishing, specifically in marketing, because it's what she used to do. But no one will even talk to her. She's hopelessly out of date – not just with her experience, but with modern technologies (like social media). She's willing to take any job, at any level, just to get her foot in the door. The answer is still no.
Why? Because Liza's old. Way, way, way too old.
I've enjoyed the show's fairly unrealistic take on the publishing industry, up until this week's episode, entitled "Stick it to Achilles."
Kelsey, Liza's best work friend, who actually is twenty-six, has been given her own imprint. She's advanced $250,000 to an unknown author without a book (come back and keep reading when you finish laughing about that) who basically tells Kelsey that she's spent all the money and there is no book. Which is going to cause Kelsey's fledgling imprint to go bust.
Meanwhile, bosses Charles and Diana (did no one think about that particular name combination during the writing process?) start to talk about a potential author they're trying to recruit. They're very worried about "Achilles" snatching this author away from them.
At first you assume that it's just another publishing house. Until Diana drops this little tidbit – "They kill all the bookstores; now they have to come after the authors, too?"
It's then that I realized that Achilles was Amazon.
Now the Amazon hatred has spread even to television.
While Diana, marketing director, is trying to sleep with their newest author, Kelsey comes up with a devious and unethical plan. She has Liza cobble together a chapter from the flaky author's online social media. They then leak this chapter online. Kelsey lures Achilles's editor out for drinks (under false pretenses to "celebrate" their success), and says that she's just being inundated with phone calls from other publishers who are offering to buy the book from her (complete and total lie). She's only willing to sell it for $500,000. Achilles's editor says, "Done." Kelsey demurs, saying she has to check with her boss, Charles, and in her text asks, "How badly do you want to stick it to Achilles?"
The deal is done, and Kelsey has saved her precious imprint (maybe she shouldn't have her own imprint given how badly she's run it so far). Achilles has lost half a million dollars by being stuck with an author who won't write her book (and who protests loudly that she "refuse[s]" to work with them!).
I don't get the Achilles/Amazon hatred. Logically, Empirical (the fictional publishing house on the show) makes the majority of their money from Achilles. It wouldn't be in their best interest to screw them over.
Achilles/Amazon did nothing bad in this episode. They didn't lie, scheme, manipulate, trick or behave completely unethically with their colleagues, professional rivals, or clients. The so-called heroes/heroines of the show did. Repeatedly. But AMAZON IS BAD AND AUTHORS HATE THEM!
And Achilles/Amazon didn't ruin the bookstores. That was a system set up for failure. When I first started out in publishing, our local RWA group had a bookstore manager as a member. She ran the closest Barnes & Noble. She told me once about how another Barnes & Noble store was moving across the street (the location across the street was much bigger). She offered to assist the manager in packing up their books and moving them.
Think about that. How is a business like that supposed to succeed?
Why aren't there any complaints about what Barnes & Noble did to bookstores? They literally made a movie about it with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It happened. Even though we're supposed to pretend that it didn't.
The chain bookstores failed because of poor business decisions. Poor business decisions that they continue to make. They didn't want the digital revolution to happen. And instead of embracing it and finding a way to exist and prosper, they fought it with everything they had.
But now we're supposed to champion and protect Barnes & Noble? What?
I don't hate Amazon. I love Amazon. I love their customer service, I love my Prime membership. I love my free two-day shipping. I love their prices. I love how they take care of everything for me. I love the freedom they've given me with my writing. I love the chance they've given to everyone in the world to be an author if they want to. I love that they've given the money and the power back to authors (the creators of the books).
And every author who does hate Amazon and wants to boycott them – check their author page on Amazon. They're not boycotting them. I'd have a lot more respect for them if they put their money where their mouths are. (I'm looking at you Douglas Preston and Richard Russo.) No agent is boycotting Amazon. Because they want to make money. And Amazon has it. And it has the marketing ability to make their authors successful.
If Amazon is, as Diana claimed, coming for the authors, you should welcome them with open arms. I promise you, they'll give you a much better deal and a much better contract than anyone in New York ever could.
I don't see how this is an attack on Amazon, not based on your description. Amazon might be treated as the enemy by the characters, but they are shown to be mean, vapid, shallow, and incompetent. If anything this is an indictment of publishing houses and the industry.
Thank you for writing this, Sariah. I enjoy the show, but hate their take on Amazon. Of course, since they're portraying NY publishing, it's expected that they'd echo those publishers' view of the competition. Too bad viewers don't realize how deranged that view is.

Since independence in 1991, central governments in Kazakhstan have been aware of the importance of decentralization, however, showed few inclinations to act (IU, 2005). In 2004, Kazakhstan enacted a law to limit the responsibility of lower government levels (UCLG, 2007).
Kazakhstan is composed of 14 regions, 84 cities, 159 districts, 241 settlements, 2042 rural circuits. Each province is headed by a provincial governor selected by the president (UCLG, 2007).
The policy of local organs and acts can be indirectly influenced by citizens by offering proposals to local governments (UCLG, 2007).
In some territories, local bodies have power to establish committees of local organs while the chairmen of such committees are selected by Almaty City Council (UCLG, 2007).
Local self-government is independent except for the general frameworks defined by central government, but local organs are not participating in the process of redistribution of powers (UCLG, 2007).
Kazakhstan has no legislative gender quota at subnational level (Quota Project, 2013).
Interlegal Kazakhstan aims to promote the development of civil society institutions through education, training, professional preparation, and legal protection in Kazakhstan.
The Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and Rule of Law is one of the largest and most influential human rights organizations offering training seminars in human rights for representatives of law enforcement agencies in Kazakhstan.
Legal Policy Research Center (LPRC) is an independent think tank aims to develop open dialogues and policy debates in decision making in order to promote human rights in Kazakhstan (Civic Solidarity, 2013).
Local budgets are raised by higher authorities. Local governments have no power to establish taxes, however, have right to increase or decrease rates of land tax up to 50% of basic rates (UCLG, 2007).
The share of tax revenues in total local budgets is around 60% in 2006 and has tendency for constant decreasing, nevertheless, the share of official budgetary donations is growing annually (UCLG, 2007).
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the development of local organs began from 1991 to 1993. In 1992, the new institution of heads of local administrations was formed (UCLG, 2007).
At the end of 1993, local governments were launched, but yet the Constitution rejected the concept of local self-government and only permitted the status of state organs (UCLG, 2007).
In 1995, the development of local self-government was established by the adoption of the second Constitution of independent Kazakhstan. During this period the system of local organs is consisting of bodies of local government and bodies of local self-government (UCLG, 2007).
In 2005, the government of Kazakhstan has established electronic government to improve the citizens' right of access to information of local government bodies (UCLG, 2007).
Local governments have only limited power in fiscal, regulatory, and administrative matters (World Bank, 2004).
In 2003, the president of Kazakhstan confirmed that the process of decentralization stays only the groundwork so far. (IU, 2005) A law was enacted in Kazakhstan to limit the responsibility of lower government levels in 2004 (UCLG, 2007).
There was an extremely low participation of citizens in local elections showing a rule indifferent and even negative attitude of citizens to local policy and local governments because of "a high level of corruption in local executive organs, heartlessness and bureaucratism of local state employees, mistrust in deputies" (UCLG, 2007).

'Politics in Uncertain Times: What will the world look like in 2050 and how do you know?
Speaker to be confirmed
Wednesday 13 September 2017, 18:00-20:00
Webb Library, Jesus College, 31 Jesus Ln, Cambridge CB5, UK.
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Jeremy Green.
Have recent events in the United Kingdom and United States left you wondering what the global political and economic order will look like in the future? Do you have ideas about how the combination of economic crisis, environmental catastrophe and shifting power within the global economy will shape the world around us for generations to come? Did you predict the outcome of the recent general election correctly when so many commentators were wrong? If so, this is the event for you!
The British and Comparative Political Economy Group welcomes you to the beautiful setting of the Webb Library, situated within the grounds of Jesus College (Cambridge). Here, a panel of experts will debate future trajectories of change as we try to make sense of where this period of 'great uncertainty' is heading. This is also your opportunity to contribute, as there will be a strong emphasis on audience participation. Avoiding the traditional model of equivalent events, interactive sessions will be incorporated into the development of the discussion to ensure as many voices and ideas can be heard as possible. But do not worry, no homework preparation is required!
We are pleased to introduce a fantastic panel, including Jeremy Green (Chair), Helen Thompson, Joel Faulkner Rogers, Glen O'Hara and Paul Krishnamurty, with more speakers to be announced in the near future. A wide-ranging discussion will be encouraged, directed by the following types of questions:
Considering the surprise by which many events have taken society, should we attempt to be predictive and anticipatory when conducting political and economic analysis? Or, is the world so inherently unpredictable that we should avoid taking part in such activity? How much does the weight of history hang over future trajectories of political and economic change? Has the study of the future become too detached from the study of history? What impact are political and economic changes going to have on future generations? How will the young of today shape these? We look forward to seeing you in September for what promises to be a lively event!

Riquelmedelighted to join Barcelona
Argentine midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme has expressed his delight at joining Barcelona after completing his 11million euro move from Boca Juniors.
"I justhave to get used to the game here as soon as possible and then hopefully give the fans something to cheer about," Riquelme as he was unveiledto the Spanish press.
"With luck I'll be a champion at Barcelona. That's all I'm hoping for."
The player was greeted at the airport was cheering Barcellona fans.
"I was a little surprised by the welcome," Riquelme admitted. "I had no idea the people would care so much for me."
Despite the fanfare accompanying his arrival there is a strong possibility that the 23-year-old Riquelme may be loaned out this season as Barcelona have exceeded their quota of non-European players.
However, Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal deflected any talk of a loan move when he welcomed Riquelme to the club.
"I'm very happy," said the Dutch coach. "He's a player with a lot of talent. He'll have to work hard, though, as will everyone else here."


"Legacy of China" will take you on a fascinating journey to China's ancient past. The movie is based on the lifework of Cambridge scholar Joseph Needham, who arrived in China during World War II. Over the next fifty years of his life, Needham devoted himself to the study of ancient China whereby he revealed some China's most extraordinary secrets.
This movie is produced by Mercuria MCG,a joint venture of Mercuria Energy Group Ltd and Media Construction Group Ltd.
JOSEPH NEEDHAM will be remembered for his outstanding scholastic achievement embodied in the "Science and Civilization in China" series, successive parts of which have continuously been published by Cambridge University Press since 1954. To date, twenty-three parts have been published, with five more still planned in the future.

Alex Greed is a solid part of the international house music scene. Although his young age, his original tracks are blazing with a hint of classical elements paired with more modern dance music to create the ultimate experience.
His passion for creating new, unique vibes exposed him to the record label 120dB, which created massive campaigns for Alex's already-released tracks, "I Am Here" and "Alive" in 2016; both of which climbed up in the "german dance charts" and have been supported by established artists like Jean, Elan, Le Shuuk, Stefan Dabruck, Simon De Jano and DBN to name a few.
Intuitively performing genre busting sets, Alex's rapidly growing fanbase is the key reason for his high-energy shows at venues like Nature One, Ruhr In Love or Ibiza World Club Tour in 2016.
While he's been busy making making new friends in the Ibiza and Amsterdam EDM scenes, watch out for Alex Greed because he'll be hitting up Miami next!

Nepal: Grumbling In The Ranks
October 22, 2007: The Maoists now want to return their ministers to the government, but the prime minister has refused to let them. All this political maneuvering is in support of Maoist attempts to increase their popularity, and their chances of success in elections that will change the constitution, and install a new government. The Maoists are split between those who believe a communist government can be elected (after which it would, as past communists have done, outlaw future elections), and those who believe control of the government must be seized by force. Discipline in the Maoist movement is breaking down, which is to be expected after years of fighting. But the decision to try and take over via elections caused more severe splits within the Maoist movement than the Maoist leadership expected. Meanwhile, the king remains popular, if only for his importance in the religious life of many Nepalese, and the democratic parties sill have the support of the majority of Nepalese. For the Maoists, their problem is that they attract the support of only a minority of Nepalese, and a shrinking minority at that.
October 18, 2007: Some groups of former Maoists have become criminal gangs, using their power and organizing skills to pursue various lucrative scams.
October 17, 2007: In the capital, soldiers defused two bombs found abandoned near the airport.
October 16, 2007: The UN has demanded that the Maoists stop their campaign of extortion and terrorism. These Maoist activities are meant to weaken groups that support the king and the democratic parties, and make it easier for the Maoists to recruit new members, and take control of more rural villages and towns.
October 13, 2007: Ethnic separatist groups in the south, noting how the Maoists do business, have also been extorting money and goods from businesses and aid groups. This has become too much for many of the foreign NGOs supplying food and other aid, and these groups have shut down or withdrawn from the area. This is seen as the only way to make the rebel groups become more reasonable in their demands.
