Luciana Berger: The Government's Energy Bill fails co-ops
Luciana Berger MP
Blog Energy and Environment
Since its introduction in the House of Lords in December the Energy Bill has been quietly making its way through Parliament and has now reached committee stage in the commons. While it may not have been grabbing the headlines like other government plans, there is still much for those of us concerned with promoting co-operative ideals to be interested in.
The main proposals in the Government's bill is to establish a pay as you save energy efficiency scheme called the green deal. 27% of all UK emissions come from homes, so there is clearly a need to introduce a scheme to improve the energy efficiency of our housing stock.
Under the green deal, homeowners and tenants will be able to borrow money to make energy efficient improvements to their homes, such as insulation, with no upfront costs. The improvements will be paid for in instalments from the money saved on utility bills. Labour recognised the need to improve energy efficiency and had begun to implement a pay as you save scheme just before we left government.
However, in its current form the Government's bill isn't up to the task. Even as it approaches committee stage we still have a staggering lack of detail on how the green deal will actually work. Many unanswered question remain. What consumer protections will be in place, what energy efficiency measures will be available under the plans, how will the work carried out be assessed and accredited, what will the interest rate on green deal loans be and how homeowners and tenants will be incentivised. To name just a few.
It is so important that the government gets this right as a similar scheme in Australia had to be cancelled after thousands of houses were fitted with poor quality insulation. If done properly the proposals could open up a whole new market; and as a Labour & Co-op MP I want to ensure that mutuals and co-ops are at the heart of that market.
Our movement is not motivated by the pursuit of profit but, by our values of openness, social responsibility and solidarity. As well as being founded on strong principles, in practice co-ops can be more efficient and are a positive force in local communities.
That's why I'm tabling amendments to guarantee reduced fees for co-ops and mutuals applying to take part in the green deal. I'm going to be fighting every step of the way to ensure there is fair access to the market place, so that it isn't dominated by big companies.
The committee stages of the bill is a chance to press the government for more detailed policy and to guarantee that mutuals and co-ops are involved in this scheme. I'm holding an Energy Bill briefing for co-op members to discuss this in more detail. I hope you can join me not just to hear about what I'm doing, but more importantly to tell me what you want to see strengthened in the bill.

NSA Gave Other U.S. Agencies Information From Surveillance
By Walter Pincus
Information captured by the National Security Agency's secret eavesdropping on communications between the United States and overseas has been passed on to other government agencies, which cross-check the information with tips and information collected in other databases, current and former administration officials said.
The NSA has turned such information over to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and to other government entities, said three current and former senior administration officials, although it could not be determined which agencies received what types of information. Information from intercepts -- which typically includes records of telephone or e-mail communications -- would be made available by request to agencies that are allowed to have it, including the FBI, DIA, CIA and Department of Homeland Security, one former official said.
At least one of those organizations, the DIA, has used NSA information as the basis for carrying out surveillance of people in the country suspected of posing a threat, according to two sources. A DIA spokesman said the agency does not conduct such domestic surveillance but would not comment further. Spokesmen for the FBI, the CIA and the director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte, declined to comment on the use of NSA data.
Since the revelation last month that President Bush had authorized the NSA to intercept communications inside the United States, public concern has focused primarily on the legality of the NSA eavesdropping. Less attention has been paid to, and little is known about, how the NSA's information may have been used by other government agencies to investigate American citizens or to cross-check with other databases. In the 1960s and 1970s, the military used NSA intercepts to maintain files on U.S. peace activists, revelations of which prompted Congress to restrict the NSA from intercepting communications of Americans.
Today's NSA intercepts yield two broad categories of information, said a former administration official familiar with the program: "content," which would include transcripts of a phone call or e-mail, and "non-content," which would be records showing, for example, who in the United States was called by, or was calling, a number in another country thought to have a connection to a terrorist group. At the same time, NSA tries to limit identifying the names of Americans involved.
"NSA can make either type of information available to other [intelligence] agencies where relevant, but with appropriate masking of its origin," meaning that the source of the information and method of getting it would be concealed, the former official said.
Agencies that get the information can use it to conduct "data mining," or looking for patterns or matches with other databases that they maintain, which may or may not be specifically geared toward detecting terrorism threats, he said. "They are seeking to separate the known from the unknown, relationships or associations," he added.
The NSA would sometimes monitor telephones, e-mails or fax communications in cases where individuals in the United States -- and sometimes people they contacted -- were linked to an alleged foreign terrorist group, officials have said. The NSA, officials said, limited its decisions to follow-up with more electronic surveillance on an individual to those cases where there was some apparent link to terrorist sources.
But other agencies, one former official said, have used phone numbers or other records obtained from NSA in combination with wide-ranging databases to look for links and associations. "What data sets are included is a policy decision [made by individual agencies] when they involve other than terrorist links," he said.
DIA personnel stationed inside the United States went further on occasion, conducting physical surveillance of people or vehicles identified as a result of NSA intercepts, said two sources familiar with the operations, although the DIA said it does not conduct such activities.
The military personnel -- some of whose findings were reported to the Northern Command in Colorado -- were employed as part of the Pentagon's growing post-Sept. 11, 2001, domestic intelligence activity based on the need to protect Defense Department facilities and personnel from terrorist attacks, the sources said.
Northcom was set up in October 2002 to conduct operations to deter, prevent and defeat terrorist threats in the United States and its territories. The command runs two fusion centers that receive and analyze intelligence gathered by other government agencies.

A very well-known marketing model follows these stages: Attention > Interest > Desire > Action (it's called AIDA but remember acronyms are the enemy of clarity).
Now there are lots of ways to get attention, but to take someone through the stages to act (buy your product or service) you not only need to attract their attention for the right reasons, you need to keep them interested and you need to lead them to want what you are offering. I would say your choice of words in each of these stages is crucial.
Create a great news article on a topic that will interest your customers and potential customers.
We make sure it contains key phrases that customers and potential customers search for.
Post it on your website, which will engage existing customers and help you find new ones through improved search engine results.
Post about it on all relevant social media channels, with links back to your website (using a trackable link).
'Boost' the social media posts to reach new customers. Social media ads can be highly-targeted to reach the people you want to attract.
Send it out as part of a direct marketing email through Mailchimp, giving customers useful advice or resources, as well as promoting your product or service. People are much more likely to engage with you if you are providing something useful to them and it positions you as the expert in your field.
Adapt it for a press release and 'pitch in' the story to media or bloggers. This furthers your reach and has the benefit of implied endorsement from the media outlet covering the story.
Of course, we would track all of the above so we could follow up with the most interested people, providing more info or a promotion just for them.
That's quite a lot of marketing mileage out of 400 words.
It's also nice when your marketing activity just feels like excellent service and sharing something interesting with your customers, rather than a marketing exercise at all.
This is only one way words are powerful in marketing. Everything you say gives an impression about your company.

41 - No Mo' Cuomo feat. Lyta Gold
This week we talk with writer and editor at Current Affairs Lyta Gold on Tara Reade's accusations against Joe Biden, the failure of national news outlets to fairly cover the story, and the importance of supporting independent journalism. We also discuss the coronation of Andrew Cuomo as President of the Coronavirus, while in reality he is a fake progressive who steals gay valor and fetishizes his scumbag dad. Our wildflower covers promising preliminary research on using magnetic fields to treat depression.

40 - Demand More
Coronavirus reveals the inability of global capitalist systems to prioritize human dignity and well being, even for a short time. While this pandemic is warping horseshoe politics into an indistinguishable shape, the DNC establishment has chosen to nominate a dementia-ridden racist rapist in order to stop a nice Jewish man from doing anything to help the poor and working classes. Liz Warren once again betrays her supposed principles, praising Biden's "leadership" and "decency." Even our most progressive leaders are failing to call for radical resistance and a general strike - do better! Emily joins us to describe Regeneron's efforts to provide New York State with some much needed COVID19 testing kits, and for our wildflower, we bring good news from Wuhan, China, where the crisis is finally abating and life is beginning to return to normal.
After the ep, Britney brings us more Kropotkin this week with Chapter 10: Agreeable Work, from The Conquest of Bread.

39 - A Tyrant You Can Trust
This week we are #blessed to talk with presidential candidate and current front-runner in the race for the Libertarian Party Primary Vermin Supreme! We discuss his history of satirical runs for the president, his pivot to a more serious run for the LP nomination, and how his beliefs as a left-leaning anarchist jive with the Libertarian Party. Vermin makes the case for anarchy as a practice that we engage in every day and tells us about his experiences with temporary autonomous collective efforts, and how wearing a boot on his head has allowed him to disrupt the political duopoly in creative ways. He also describes alternatives to a state-run healthcare system and other state-based interventions.

Follow him on Twitter at @VerminSupreme
38 - Dual Wielding Powers
We practice safe socializing and ask the tough questions like where is Joe Biden? Is he in cool-down after boofing nootropics for the town hall debate? We discuss the Democrats and the politics of defeat, and their current unwillingness to corner the political market of meaningful social assistance, instead pushing for means-tested garbage that's gonna piss everyone off and slow things down. We discuss the possibilities of cybernetic socialism and scalability of mutual aid networks. Also, the DOJ wants to suspend civil rights during a national emergency.
We tease our bonus for the week - Kate Mullany and women's labor organizing in Troy in the 1860's before our wildflower for the week - when we chill out, nature heals.

We're blessed with a special guest this week, Karma, a masters student at Albany Med and microbiologist who is writing her thesis on pneumonic plague epidemics. We get into what we know so far about COVID19, our response to it, and what we might expect going forward. We also discuss the upsides and downsides of the digishitification of education through free online distribution of video lectures and course materials.

Big Structural Self Discreditation may not be good sloganeering, but it seems an accurate depiction of the new turn in Liz' political career. We set a time to discuss the electoral horse race for a maximum of 15 minutes, and then move on to discuss PILOT programs and how they are a factor in gentrification, with a case study of our beloved city of Troy. Then, we discuss how the Department of Defense has contracted illegally with local incineration facilities including the Norlite facility in Cohoes, NY to burn some seriously heinous chemicals. We talk COVID19 with the new declaration of a State of Emergency in New York, and for our wildflower we stan the Wuhan Gang of quarantined middle school kids who 1-star reviewed their homework app into oblivion.
We leave you with a few early tracks from Chris' band Zombie Giuliani's first album, and Brit's narration of Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread, Chapter 7, Ways and Means.

Garlock postpones asbestos hearing
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Garlock Sealing Technologies has agreed to postpone an Asbestos Claims Resolution Process hearing, scheduled for Jan. 6, until late February.
A subsidiary of EnPro Industries Inc., GST reached the agreement with the court-appointed legal representative of future asbestos claimants and a committee representing current claimants to delay the hearing pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
GST also requested similar deferrals of other court calendared events—including the confirmation hearing on GST's second amended plan of reorganization originally scheduled for June 2016— related to the ACRP.
It said the bankruptcy court has approved the postponement of the hearing date to a date to be set by the court.
The delays were requested after the representative of the future asbestos claim claimants and the current claimants committee advised GST that they have hare negotiating to resolve the terms co claims resolution procedures that would be an integral part of any potential consensual settlement of the ACRP and requested the postponement to continue those talks and to include GST in the sessions, the company said.
GST said it agreed to the request because it continues to believe that a settlement with both the future and current claimants would provide the best path to finalize the ACRP, save significant costs, and lead to faster completion of the case.
However, the company cautioned, there's no assurance that the negotiations will result in a settlement, noting that prior negotiations have not resulted in an agreement acceptable to all parties involved.
GST has been dealing with thousands of asbestos claims for more than a decade. It previously produced gaskets, valves, pipe joints and other items that contained non-friable asbestos encapsulated in the products. The firm stopped making them in the U.S. in 2000 and in Mexico in 2001.
Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said non-friable asbestos isn't likely to release asbestos fibers into the air, the company still faced claims charging exposure to asbestos in gasket sealing products over a 35-year period.
GST said it has processed hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims to conclusion—including judgments, settlements and dismissals. It has shelled out in excess of at least $1 billion in settlements, judgments, fees and expenses.

In any system with multiple nodes, it's always a challenge to enable effective communication between them. With its remote direct memory access capabilities and low latency, TACC's Stampede takes advantage of Mellanox's 56 Gb/s InfiniBand interconnects. Fiber cables from the servers converge on an integrated switch in each rack.
Core switches tie everything together in the supercomputer. Here we see a Mellanox switch still being populated. Remember, Stampede is still under construction.
In case you're wondering, that large radius bend ensures the fiber optic cable does not kink. Given 75 miles worth of cabling, troubleshooting a problematic connection is not a simple proposition.
Those 2.5" drives found in each node don't have the capacity to hold the huge data sets a supercomputer works on, so dedicated storage nodes are folded into the mix.
I was expecting to see rows of hot-swap drive trays, and was taken aback by the view above (at least until I was shown how the drives are configured).
Conventional 3.5" drives are arranged two-wide and eight-deep to provide more than 14 PB of Lustre storage to go along with the 270 TB of RAM. These shelves can be pulled out for drive swaps without disconnecting cables. It is actually a very elegant solution.
Thanks to the TACC and the University of Texas at Austin for graciously hosting the event and letting the press run all over Stampede.


Fourteenth round and the fighter struggles to his feet, his tired legs shaking to lift the, even more, exhausted body from the chair, limp arms dangle to his sides, long past is the point where crispness and seemingly inexhaustible strength governs their movements. Tension, and its comfortable companion confidence, has long been replaced with whimpers of doubt, as his mind dances across the Plane of Prayer for, maybe, with God's help to just survive this battle, instead of the victory he so confidently saw in his thoughts, dreams, only moments before.
Another day the alarm goes off, lifting her tired, swollen eyes from the soft pillow, now a bit hard from, yet, another night of crying herself to sleep, the aches and pains of shoulders, a neck that feels like a nail has been driven down the center, greets her morning's light of the intended gift of another day. She has to climb out of the warm lonely bed to set an aching foot onto the cold cruel floor, a tired sort of stiffness granted from the long hours of late last night, yet another second job trying desperately to make but the fraction of what she needs, just to care for the bills looming on the counter in the other room. If it was only her, she might just roll back and call it quits; but for those young lives sleeping so peacefully in their beds, her work, a must, no, a practicality, to maybe give them just a better chance, an earlier try than she ever had; a good breakfast, a good start. She must work for her darling children before and long after carting them off to school.
Fights can last so long when you are knee-deep in them, wallowing through the savage pangs of battle, the muck seems to pull on your feet, its cruel claws ever pulling you down. These long, seemingly endless stretches of endurance, nothing short of a marathon at times create an unending trek of long distances lingering before us, lengthened strides that seem unreachable, they can sometimes result in more of a "just one foot in front of another" mentality, until, hopefully, the final circle in the stadium is realized. How grueling is this tedious step after step, blow after counter blow, punch after counter block, with its own deceptive occasional slap to the side of the head. Oh, how we try so desperately at times to wage but a good presentation, a practice sortie, hoping for but a miraculous one-punch knock-out! The fighter sits and ponders the fight, and his life of pain between rounds.
Climbing into the cold waking water splashing in its warm relief across her face, how sweet is the fresh clean tingle, the fresh taste of purity as it touches thirsty lips with a strangely caring caress, then drops wash the tears of yesterday's night's plight, her yet again, tear drenched lonely reception of those cold sheets, her bed ever a reminder of the betrayal that put her in this spot in the first place, not but a moment, years ago. With every lie, broken date, unfulfilled promise, cold cruel touch, she again faces the same road, ever struggling along to, this time, make it right, trying to walk on just a bit more narrow of a path, hoping and praying, but for a miracle relief.
The trainer splashes the cold sponge across his face, with an awaking touch, the cool water slices surprisingly cold gentle touches down his now sore bruised and tired chest. He shakes the cobwebs of the earlier rounds' battles from his head, the animal-like blistering attacks and his corresponding counters ill-intended deposited follies of seemingly unbeatable attempts built on the confidences of months, maybe years of preparations dumfounded he realizes in his own senses, as to the aggression and relentless attacks of the animal that stands across from him.
Standing across from him, a mountain of an opponent, ripples of hate-filled muscles, the only thing worse than the relentless cheap-shots and blind-side blows, is the foul stench coming from his accursed spitting maw, as he presses the ruthless attack further. Aggression and seemingly insane relentlessness is the only underestimation, if any, our young warrior made prior to the battle waged; but grave are those dance partners when a life is laid in the risk. Again, he calls within, to summon up what reserves that might lay hidden below inside his, now aching body, the same body which spasms in coughing eruptions, rippling stomach and shoulder muscles to the point where they fear tearing from their origins, the congestion and cough, a not so welcome answer to his inner plea.
Just once you would think, God could bring into her life a man that wanted, even to get to know but a moment, the life that she calls herself, instead of just skin, the pound of flesh, he can't seem to keep his eyes off of; how they behave like some ravished starved wolf. If she didn't feel dirty enough about herself before, how much more after being yet again, disappointed? One would think meeting a Christian, him proclaiming his persona in earlier conversations, and even within the proclamations of these church activities, would speak to something of his heart buried within? Guess not! The water has its own refreshing cleansing attributes, how the freshness seems to just place His purity touch on her tired body, pleasing to her tender heart's longing lips.
What seemed like an opponent that should have been an easy match just prior to getting in the ring, has proven to be stronger and craftier than anticipated. Only days ago sat our young warrior with strong faith, ever diligent to train; some say "schooling up" is as disciplined as breathing or eating bread and drinking of a glass, a daily ritual of study and supplication, building the muscles for their inevitable release of force. Confident was he then in the hope of inevitable win, but the blows and power of this demon, has put him more then once against the ropes, a surprise hit or two almost putting him out the fight altogether. The canvas has a way of speaking its own siren's song of invitation.
"Which dress shall be the lucky winner today?" Decisions to either meander down the road of attractiveness, for it does give the greatest ease of dead-line productivity in this world of hypocrites who claim work ethics and performance is enough, but constantly rewards the world's most attractive or, keep it conservative enough to turn away the ever disrobing eyes of her married boss as he turns yet another stack of work her way, which should really be given to the blonde that call's herself a secretary. When did our girl lose the edge of her own confidence? "Was it a month ago, maybe two or perhaps on the fence of the divorce when the man she pledged life's love and her body, a body's risk for their children, casually tossed to the dirt?" How do you paint over the years of tears with simple makeup?
When battles reach a point of crescendo, a person can almost experience a sort of "time standing still" or slowing effect that grant's our young warrior just a fraction more of a reactive awareness, making many a split-second decision possible. So was it as the bell tones and the charge of the now sweat drenched, dark eyed raving creature, hurtling his massive body in lightning speed across the floor. The demon's charge is almost successful, had it not been for the momentary Prayer mouthed by our young general, silently and softly with tender Hands' subtle tone, gently caressing in his praying ear, only the slightest nudge is felt, "Turn your head just a little to the left", the air rushing by, much more than just a savage breeze, but almost stings in its cold sweat-stinking touch with the so-near miss, had it been a razor, clean shaven would he be.
Spinning out of the initial blow, pivoting fast and landing a counter, so glances the frustrated face of the monster his way; but just as fast it spins to attack with blow after blow of volleyed progression and while most are deflected with a brazened turn of the hero's own head or a deflection of counter, one or more, maybe four, taking with them ounces of strength, not to mention power, he so desperately needs to turn this battle yet around to give some kind of reasonable performance! Wounds of old, lacerations of new begin to flood his vision with stinging blood that has now appeared on the gloves and body of his nemesis. Again his knees buckle to the blows of his lower body, for the animal somehow knows almost instinctively where to hit, where his weakness lies-doing the most damage and shaking the very foundation of his faith.
The work place is no less of a haven from the depressive grips of an enemy's talons. Not moments from entering into the building, she is bombarded with every sort of harassment, all being too subtle to speak formally of, but none the less well within her surface water's of awareness. Innuendos flowing from the eyes of her boss's, boss's, boss give her nothing in the area of encouragement, only more of just a continued feeling of merely wanting "to give in". The worthlessness that caresses her body as their eyes and minds' projections cast their spit in the face of what she knows deep down to be really good for her; food for her soul falls with stinging blow against her body, drawing up the pains buried deep within the soft strong muscles. Her feet are already beginning to hurt in the heels she has to wear for work.
Just as the symphony of blows seems to press the very spirit out of him, there is a sudden lull in the action, and the now relentless attacker dances back but a step or two, giving our tired warrior a chance to take in but a breath or maybe three. "Could this be an answer to his silent prayer, a miraculous appearing divot in the ruff, an eye in the storm, maybe a glance at a victory by some supernatural means; surely he could receive but one such sacred gift from Above." Our champion cautiously ventures a foot forward and marks a plan for progression, a dream of maybe victory, deliverance, restoration. He presses his most talented salvo, one trained many a long moment's past, the enemy may have seen it earlier, but it is the best he had, all he has!
Sitting at her desk, she sees a notice sent to her work, a bill, no, a tax levy against her wage, not for something she had yet to pay but monies owed by her ex, as he neglected to file that year of their divorce. And while she has repeatedly attempted to explain her position, their inability to locate him places her in the cross hairs. "Less pay!" What is she going to do now? Plus, sitting right next to this ill placed notice, another stack of work she is expected to do for someone else, "Oh how perfect, due today!!" A back log of calls to return, a project overdue by now a week, and a boss insinuating a lunch is his idea of an afternoon away from a wife, and in his mind, well within his rights. Suddenly a notice appears on her screen, the inter-department promotional position she applied for weeks ago has sent her an invite to interview. "Could this be an answer to her silent prayer, a miraculous appearing divot in the ruff, an eye in the storm, maybe a glance at a victory by supernatural means, surely she could receive but one such sacred gift from Above." She takes a step for the door, holding in hand her best resume´, and with quick glance in mirror for approval, she pulls the door open and moves forward, give it her best shot, all she has!
Our young champion, our prince, our Son of the Living God steps forward and sets his hands against the opponent. He certainly presses with caution, for this animal never makes a mistake, never gives in, so this must be good. He dances left, rocks his hips in comforted enthusiastic vitality and engages in the combination of his attack, he is certain will grant him victory! His blows seem to be hitting home; a staggering left, a blow with a counter right, excitement intertwines its blending breath through the ecstatic release of all the reserves he has, the opponent's weakened attempts to defend are quickly pressed with an even greater enthusiastic press forward. Oh, could this be an answer to Prayers, can he maybe even hope to come out of this debacle victorious? More combinations, a parley of side steps and blows to the enemy's body, a simple dance to the side, a few more combinations and a final delivery should be all he needs? "He's got this!" he excitedly praises under his breath.
Our young flower of the Living Christ steps inside the office of the Vice President. She has always admired this man, and while he is a handsomely powerful elderly man, never have his eyes set a disrespecting comment against her or anyone else she is aware of. This position could be an answer to many a night's Prayers; plenty of money to ease the burden of debt's choking grip-maybe even an end to those painful late night second job woes. She immediately and excitingly begins to set out many of the projects and ideas she knows of, the tactical barrage of her most talented display which through her years of long work, accumulating many a long day of her practiced experiences, grants enough wisdom to know what would be beneficial to the company, she brandishes all the attributes this position is looking for. As he comfortably takes his seat, his attentive ear and the serious interested look on his face gives her nothing but the most assuredness; he sees value in what she has to say. "She's got this!" she excitingly praises under her breath.
Suddenly, and unexpectedly, realized quickly with a deviant gleam that cascades from the eye of his dark opponent, the final attempt of our young warrior is met with a deflecting and powerful brush of the demon's hand that not only eliminates all effectiveness of his attack, but puts our young child in a position of a fool for he knows now he has been duped, and bare stands his jaw to the mercy of a villain that is incapable of feeling mercy. The blow lands with such devastation, his feet lift from the ground in almost a comical sight just moments before his head slams to the cold brazen canvas.
So excited, she moves to the edge of her chair just across from him, hands speaking in joyful explanation, in an almost childlike performance of laughter and description, when she catches just the most subtle turn of his eye and shoulder. Like a vulture, he turns his body now to move in closer than would be comfortable in any proper setting, a realization crosses her mind in a flash; our young child has put herself in a position of a fool for she knows now she has been duped, and bare stands her body to the mercy of a villain that is incapable of feeling mercy. The touch of his hand on her leg is felt with such a devastating chill, she immediately stops talking in mid-sentence. How comical that must have appeared, her dreams and desires crashing to the gutter, as quickly as the realization of where she actually stands in this life, yet again a dirty wrapper.
The cloudiness of yet another defeat shakes its cruel grip from the blood drenched eyes of our young child as he just begins to clear the pure shock of that knock-down, so many dreams failing, but building at the same time many more dark walls. In the fogginess of clearing veils he just begins to hear the word "Six!". "Oh my God, I'm down!", heart pounding its booming explosions in his head. "He can not lose this fight!" his career would be over! Pain as he struggles to just press his hands beneath his chest in some feeble attempt to lift his tattered body, yet again, from the cold cruel sweat drenched surface.
Barely heard are his words through the fog of the shock which ignited within her head, as he outlines the weekends, the hotels, the trips alone, and exactly what her new job function will entail. His sweaty hand now squeezing her inner thigh in an almost grotesquely demonic sting, its scorpion venom prickling painful fire with every touch. She just begins to clear the pure shock of this ultimatum, so many dreams fading and at the same time building many more dark walls. In the fogginess of clearing veils, she just begins to hear the words "You really have no choice; you have five seconds to decide". "Oh my God, how did I get here?" her perfect heart booming in her chest, for as she tries even to move her own hands to brush his cold cruel hand away from her body, she can not, for terror strikes her soul. She can not loose this job, what about her children?
He can only manage to lift his stunned head out of the blood, the "Nine!" of the ref's voice hardly registers in his head, as much as reverberates in a painful wave to his ears' tender skin like a unexpected hammer to the side of the scull, sending yet again a shocking pain into his young heart. When had he forgotten dreams of old; soft playing with his young son, who he would have now afforded to hold and spend time with, the tender voice of that sweet boy; oh, how he sobs for the time he has lost? "Father Help Me!" is all he can muster from his lungs. The sudden "Ring" of the bell and just as unexpected, the feeling of caring, almost loving arms now lifting him up and helping him to his stool. "Saved by the bell?" he realizes to himself in almost shocked relief. Cool fresh water bringing just subtle touches of care and belief, clearing his head, opening up channels to Prayers bubbling within, but never stopping is his own soft tongues whispering their continued pleas for help, not from his own body, but from Him who dwells within!
The shock still quivering through her body, still stunned that she hardly realizes the words of him as he jolts her with the one sudden word, "Well?" How easy it would be to just give up on everything she believes, toss to the wind a dream of goodness, a life of purity, saving herself this time for a man she loves and who loves her, loves her enough to honor her by waiting until they are married. Is she not worth it? Her sweet daughters, where do they play in this game if their mother becomes a whore? "Oh Jesus, help me!" is all she can manage to pull out of her mind. Then suddenly, "Sir, your wife is on two!" The sound of his secretary washes the fog out of her mind as he angrily stares at the now limp woman before him. "Wait outside for just a second!" he almost frustratedly says as she quietly asks herself, "a temporary reprieve?" It almost feels like arms, hands of a most tender and loving nature pressing from within, lift her to her feet as she hurries outside the office on weakened knee, and closes the door on the dark recesses behind. Cool breeze and fresh air fill her lungs, bringing subtle touches of care and relief, clearing her head, opening up channels to the Prayers bubbling within again; but in no way interrupts her tongue's soft whispers, continuously pleading for help, not from her own strength, but for something that is from Him!
Thoughts clear, minds becomes open, they breath a deep breath of the heart's relief scented love, life's Water of a Living God, they know deep down, all sin of the past is forgiven, pure, sanctified by the One who dwells within! Their shoulders lift; they both look up and see the snarling animal glancing back in its own false confidence. A realization comes in Loud and Clear, "You are not going back in, I am, if you but ask!" Tears of Joy erupt in swollen eyes. Silent tongues of soft Prayer spill out into verbal Praise.
"Lord Jesus, You go into the ring for me!" a man and woman say, as his head lifts slowly in strength and power, as she straightens her back and wipes the tears from her face.
"Jesus my Prince, You go into the ring for me!" power flows through limbs, confidence crosses the faces of our two champions, exhortations of Praise flow through now strengthening legs, almost as fast realization and fear crosses the eyes of the enemies now staring back at them in increasing confusion and fright!
"Jesus Son of David, You go into the ring for me!" muscle now begin to tighten and ripple with Blood of the Living God that flows through every joint, every muscle, lifting, radiating in blazing Light from their eyes like the blasts of a hundred suns. Terror has replaced concern in the eyes of their now weakening opponents.
"Jesus Lion of Judah, You go into the ring for me!" they say now out loud in such commanding voices that clear is it to all around, exactly what they are saying and to whom they are speaking. Thundering voices of The Word!
A "Bell", and a new fighter, a champion, a general lunges out of his chair with a blast of so much strength and aggression, the fear stricken enemy quickly looks behind for a place to escape, no longer even remotely thinking of fighting.
A "laying down of the phone", a new woman, a champion, a general looks back through the glass with such power in her posture and confidence in her eyes, the weak pathetic old fear stricken man melts into his chair in fright.
With a smile our man steps comfortably to his feet, and with a smile she turns from the glass, and they both walk down His path.

RIVER THAMES ALLIANCE IN DISARRAY AFTER DISTRICT ENFORCEMENT CHIEF APPOINTED TO BOARD
THE FLOATER IS REPRODUCING AN ARTICLE FROM THE NATIONAL BARGEE TRAVELLERS ASSOCIATION WHICH LOOKS AT WHAT SEEMS TO BE A BID BY A PRIVATE PARKING COMPANY TO TAKE CONTROL AND PROFIT FROM THAMES MOORINGS – PLEASE SHARE WITH BOATERS AND GROUPS WH0 NEED TO KNOW
The River Thames Alliance (RTA) could face mass resignations at a critical meeting if proposals to change its unaccountable governance structure are not agreed at the forthcoming AGM on 4th September 2018. Currently RTA members have no say in the appointment of the Alliance's directors.
In January 2017 Danylo Kurpil, the senior of two directors of District Enforcement Limited, became a director of the RTA. Three of RTA's directors have resigned since 2015 and only one of the original directors, Michael Shefras, is still in post. The RTA was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 20th April 2015.
District Enforcement is a parking enforcement company that is now being used by riparian local authorities on the Thames to impose draconian 'Civil Contract' mooring charges of £100 per day.
Many boaters feel that Mr Kurpil's appointment to the RTA Board is a clear conflict of interest. Article 17.2 the RTA's Articles of Association allows the RTA to authorise such conflicts of interest that would otherwise breach the provisions regarding directors' conflicts of interest in Section 175 of the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, Article 17.9 of the RTA's Articles states that a director is not required to account for any profit made from a conflict of interest that is authorised. This structure would appear to give District Enforcement an unacceptable level of influence over enforcement on the Thames and enable Mr Kurpil to gain significant wealth from enforcement against boaters. It is clear that these enforcement activities are primarily targeted at Bargee Travellers, who typically need to stay on a mooring longer than 24 hours.
The Public Right of Navigation, codified in Section 79(2) of the Thames Conservancy Act 1932, entitles boats to anchor, moor or remain stationary for a reasonable time in the ordinary course of navigation. 'Reasonable' cannot be determined in advance but must be determined taking into account all the circumstances: see Moore v British Waterways Board [2013] EWCA Civ 73. The imposition of a £100 daily charge thus violates the Public Right of Navigation.
The RTA is opposed to the interests of itinerant liveaboard boaters on the Thames; it believes that Bargee Travellers should live on permanent moorings off the main line of the waterway as a "solution to unlawful on-line residential moorings" and refers to "the whole problem of itinerant moorers".
Many RTA members, such as local authorities, have expressed concern at the lack of transparency in the RTA's Memorandum and Articles. and were especially concerned about the process for director election and the role of directors. Following pressure from members it had been agreed at the 2016 AGM on 26th July that the directors would go away and revise this and other governance issues. It became clear at a General Meeting of the RTA on 19th April 2018 that the revision had not been carried out.
The April 2018 meeting was also set to agree the annual reports for the past two years and approve a business plan. Many dissatisfied members have not paid their subscriptions and the RTA may have to spend its reserves or go into debt to meet its liabilities.
The RTA was founded in 2003 and became a Company Limited by Guarantee in 2016. RTA members include many local authorities; utility companies like Thames Water; boat clubs; marinas; boating and waterway businesses; private individuals and some boating organisations. At the start of 2016 the RTA had around 120 paid-up members. The NBTA is not a member.
The RTA's Thames Waterways Plan 2015 – 2021 includes a section on navigation and moorings with the aim "To develop a Thames-wide Moorings strategy that will resolve the problems created by unauthorised boats occupying recreational and public moorings". The RTA also states that it aims to "resolve much of the unlawful on line mooring difficulties currently being experienced by many authorities".
The RTA 2016 newsletter boasted that "Much more work has been undertaken by RTA Members to overcome the unlawful moorings problem. Great success in some areas too has led to prosecutions and the removal of unsightly and dangerous craft". Most of these boats were people's homes. It is clear that the RTA has been instrumental in facilitating the increased persecution of Bargee Travellers on the Thames.
The RTA also initiated the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the River Thames which first met on 12th April 2016. The APPG included discussion of "5 Birds, 1 Stone", a proposal by an RTA director that claims to solve flood control problems while "producing a solution to unlawful on-line residential moorings" and delivering other perceived benefits.
In an example of the growing influence of District Enforcement and the increasingly unhealthy relationship between it, the RTA and the Environment Agency, on 27th April 2018 the RTA tweeted "EA carry out registration checks with @DESecureParking and @TVP_Reading".
The RTA AGM will take place in the evening of 4th September 2018 at the Henley Rowing Museum.
Many Bargee Travellers, especially in the Reading area, have been subjected to District Enforcement £100 per day mooring charges, issued only by post, that are increased to £160 if they remain unpaid for more than a few days. No notices are placed on boats. It is thus impossible for Bargee Travellers, who lack regular access to post, to pay the reduced rate of £60 within 14 days, even assuming they can afford it and are sufficiently intimidated to pay up.
The NBTA has challenged Reading Borough Council's use of these enforcement methods and is supporting boaters to use the Council's complaints process and the District Enforcement appeals process. Some boaters have received County Court judgements for non-payment of these excessive fines and the NBTA is also assisting boaters to challenge these. Reading Borough Council currently has a two-year contract with District Enforcement from May 2017 to April 2019. If you need advice about a District Enforcement or similar mooring charge please contact us.
Many boaters have received letters claiming that they have been fined £100 even though no notices were visible or even present where they moored, or used lettering that is too small to read from a moving boat.
District Enforcement notices make threats of immediate boat seizure if charges are not paid. This is against the law. If your boat is your home, Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights entitle you to defend yourself and to have the proportionality of removing your home assessed by an independent court.
There is legislation that protects the public in enforcement of private parking penalties: see Section 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. The DVLA will only give vehicle keeper details to a parking company if it is a member of a recognised trade association which operates an independent appeals service and sets a maximum penalty charge and where strict conditions of on-site ticketing or service of notice by post have been complied with. If a parking company is in breach, the DVLA will suspend its access to DVLA data. There is no such protection for boaters.
District Enforcement operates an appeals process for motorists but it does not advertise an appeals process for mooring. See http://www.district-enforcement.co.uk/appeals.html However the email address for appeals is appeals@district-enforcement.co.uk. The company also trades under the style where2moor.
District Enforcement has lost a number of legal challenges to its enforcement practices; see for example the judge's comments here:
http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/12/district-enforcement-lose-to-lecturer.html?m=1
The NBTA advises boaters not to let themselves be bullied by aggressive and threatening tactics to extort charges for alleged overstaying, especially where displayed signs which are a requirement of a civil contract are not clear, not visible from the water and where the imposition of the charge is contrary to the right to moor for a reasonable time contained in the Public Right of Navigation.
We advise boaters to keep as much evidence as possible of the mooring and length of time they are moored, such as dated photographs showing inadequate signs. If you do decide to pay these unlawful charges, we recommend conducting all correspondence in writing by email of letter, keeping copies of texts, keeping receipts for all transactions and taking photographs of any signs.
Terry NB Alfie
This is at a very early stage of change for the entire network. As soon as this enforcement method is ironed out, I fully expect CaRT to have a go too. You have been warned, it's coming.
Sir Alan
As Parry & his select group of loyal pirates have busied themselves asset stripping the once mighty BW property portfolio. Invested tens of millions in loss making ventures & outsauced everything the once mighty BW used to do with its own workforce & plant, now also sold off to be leased back, reducing the once mighty BW to little more than a cottage industry that could be managed from Braunston Toll office, then it's only expected of them to lay off another two dozen or so employees in favour of outsaucing boat parking also. Unless of course we boating fraternity call time & demand Parry & Co hand in their resignations, like emediately as theyv far from proven themselves worthy Trust Executers. So come on folks, cause a stink where it matters before it's beyond to late!
Just mention, on the above sign there's two methods of prepayment. (1) by DD over the phone. That method doesn't work two months ago & doesn't work now. Method No2 is online & I don't pay anything online. So I didn't pay & figured il do so when whoever comes do the rounds wich is typical of fee moorings. So I got penalty in post, sent £9-30 for day in Question with letter explaining system one don't work & I don't pay online. Cheque was returned, penalty increased to £160! The moorings I question were free up to a year ago. Signs are to deter livaboard community squats.

Unit labor cost (ULC)
The unit labor cost (ULC) is a measure that indicates what it costs to employ a worker based on the productivity of the company. In other words, it is the fraction of productivity that the employer has to divert to the remuneration of the salaried work that it hires. They are the wage costs necessary to produce each unit.
To calculate the CLU, compensation per employee (RAU) is related to productivity (PT). The formula defines the unit labor cost such that:
So the unit labor cost is made up of the quotient between two variables. The first, the compensation per employee, which is calculated as the sum of all wages (RA) in a territory divided by the number of employees (As). The result that it shows would be something like the average salary.
The second part of the equation, productivity, is calculated as the quotient between gross domestic product (GDP) and the employed population (PO).
Interpretation of Unit Labor Cost
An increase in the unit labor cost is interpreted as an increase in the cost of labor. And, therefore, it is an obstacle to ensuring the return on invested capital. On the contrary, a reduction in the unit labor cost reflects a lower cost of labor, which is a facility to ensure the return on invested capital.
The Unit Labor Cost can be reduced due to the following situations:
If the average salary (RAU) falls and productivity (PT) remains constant, the ULC is reduced.
If the average salary (RAU) remains constant and productivity (PT) increases, the CLU is reduced.
If the average salary (RAU) falls and productivity (PT) increases, the ULC is reduced.
If the average salary (RAU) falls in greater proportion than productivity (PT), the ULC is reduced.
If the average salary (RAU) increases to a lesser extent than productivity (PT), the ULC is reduced.
The Unit Labor Cost may increase if:
Average salary (RAU) increases and productivity (PT) remains constant. CLU increases
Average salary (RAU) remains constant and productivity (PT) falls. CLU increases
Average salary (RAU) increases and productivity (PT) falls. CLU increases
Average salary (RAU) falls less than productivity (PT). CLU increases
Average salary (RAU) increases in greater proportion than productivity (PT). CLU increases
Finally, the unit labor cost remains constant as long as:
Average salary (RAU) increases in the same proportion as productivity (PT).
Average salary (RAU) is reduced in the same proportion as productivity (PT).
Average salary (RAU) remains constant and productivity (PT) also.
Example of calculating the unit labor cost
After the previous explanation, we are going to see a practical example that helps us understand how to calculate the unit labor cost in Spain.
Compensation of employees (RA): 550,000,000,000
Number of employees (As): 15,700,000
Employed population (PO): 18,800,000
Gross domestic product (GDP): 1,232,000,000,000
First we will calculate the numerator (top) of the ULC quotient:
Next, we will calculate the denominator (bottom) of the ULC quotient:
Once we have the two results, we substitute in the initial formula:
The result reflects that of the total earnings that an entrepreneur in Spain has, on average, he must allocate 53.4% to pay salaries.

CAQ MNAs refuse to meet with spokespersons of professionals and technicians employed in the health and social services system
Montréal – Members of the APTS (Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux) demonstrated today in front of the riding offices of four Coalition avenir Québec MNAs in Montréal, Lanaudière, the Laurentians and Montérégie. APTS members were denouncing the fact that some CAQ MNAs have refused to meet with their spokespersons, who wanted to discuss issues related to current public-sector contract talks.
"When he was elected, François Legault promised that his party's MNAs would stay close to the ground and to the people they represent," noted APTS president Andrée Poirier in front of the office of Chantal Rouleau, MNA for Pointe-aux-Trembles and minister responsible for the Montréal region. "After two years in power, it's clear that many have forgotten the premier's words. Refusing to meet the spokespersons of our 56,000 members is unacceptable. We're here today to remind them that they have obligations to the people of their ridings."
The APTS points out that the health and social services system is now close to the breaking point, the private sector is increasingly being called in to make up for the negligence of previous years, employees are getting sick as a result of work overload, and the stress of the pandemic is adding fuel to the fire. Given this context, Quebecers in the greater Montréal region have cause to be concerned when a number of CAQ MNAs from the region categorically refuse to meet with the APTS.
"If Chantal Rouleau, the minister responsible for Montréal, won't meet the spokespersons of professionals and technicians from her own region, how can she represent them within her government?" demands Daniel Dubé, provincial representative for the CIUSSS du Nord-de l'Île-de-Montréal. "How can she tell the Legault Cabinet – or Treasury Board president Sonia Lebel, who's in charge of public-sector contract talks – about the fact that professionals and technicians are constantly dealing with work overload and are completely exhausted as a result? One message is coming through loud and clear: the CAQ couldn't care less about health care and social services in Montréal."
The APTS is grateful to CAQ MNAs from other Québec regions who agreed to meet its spokespersons or, at least, sent a member of their office staff to take time to understand the state of the health and social services system in their riding and the issues underlying public-sector contract talks.
"When you're elected to the National Assembly, you're there to understand and convey voters' concerns. Many MNAs understand this, and I'm grateful to them," concludes Andrée Poirier. "But I also think that Premier Legault needs to call his uncooperative MNAs to order. And he should also remind his ministers, especially those who are responsible for a specific region, that they have obligations to the people they represent – including employees of the health and social services system."
The APTS
The APTS (Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux) represents a total of 56,000 members who play a key role in ensuring that health and social services institutions run smoothly. Our members provide a wide range of services for the population as a whole, including diagnostic, rehabilitation, nutrition, psychosocial intervention, clinical support, and prevention services.

The Firm is currently representing developers of utility-scale solar and wind projects in their various siting activities. The Firm supported the Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc. in its negotiation of the Power NY Act of 2011, which enacted Article 10 to replace its expired predecessor, Article X. We are, therefore, very familiar with the provisions of Article 10, how they relate to the expired provisions, and how an Article 10 application should be prepared and shepherded through the process. Mr. Laniado published an article on siting renewabe generation under Article 10.
Under Article X, the Firm represented five major electric generation facility applicants, totaling approximately 4,230 MW of proposed generating capacity. The Firm worked with the clients' environmental, engineering, and transmission consultants to prepare the applications, coordinated with the relevant regulatory agencies, and guided applications through discovery, motion practice, hearings, briefings, and settlements.
Where Article 10 is not applicable, the State Environmental Quality Review Act usually governs the power plant siting process. The Firm has helped clients secure air, water, and wetland permits from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, Sections 68, 69, and 70 approvals from the NYPSC, and local zoning, site plan, and other municipal approvals.

Dune 2020-the trailer is here, and it looks promising
ByJovita September 10, 2020
After a very long wait for the cult classic fans, Warner Bros has finally dropped the first trailer for the movie Dune today. To fans who are already familiar with the plot of the movie, the trailer looks promising. For those who have no expectations, it just becomes one of the must-watch movies of 2020.
The Novel
Dune is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert, which was published starting from1965. It's a series of about six books and a story of one Paul Atreides, a space dynasty's scion. The novel is very intricate, with details with complex characters and plot settings. There is just so much that needs to be enjoyed in the written word. The book series had a huge fan following and rose to a cult classic's status in a few years. It was indeed a significant challenge to adapt the novel into a movie.
Dune-1984
Dune 1984
Director David Lynch made the first adaptation of Dune in 1965. He had the immense task of turning a cult classic novel into a cult classic movie. Yet sadly, the film was both a critical and box office failure. However, the movie cannot be neglected because it had tried to bring the complex story to the silver screen. Perhaps the most significant difficulties lay in staying true to the novels' plot because the books themselves were layered. Much was hidden even from the characters. When a movie focuses only on exposition, it gradually slows down. Will the new movie tackle such hurdles?
The first looks so much promising for Dune 2020. With an epic cast of Timothee Chalamet, Oscar Issac, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, and Zendeya, to name a few, the first look promises that things will be different than the previous version. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Oscar winner French Canadian director, the movie is sure to be an epic. The director's earlier film of the same genre, Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, give us hints about what to expect. The trailer also gives us some details about what to expect space politics have with her, really gigantic space worms, and just so much more action. It seems that this adaptation will have a close connection to the book than the predecessor.

Thunder sweep the Storm


Inspired by SF style and beauty blogger Gal Meets Glam's recent post, I decided to come up with my own list of favorite places to eat and drink in the City by the Bay!
I've lived in San Francisco for nearly 8 years now (3 in Cow Hollow, and 4 1/2 in the Castro), and I've had my fair share of incredible meals all over town. While you can certainly go to many restaurants where a great meal will cost at least $50 a person, one of the best things about SF is that some of the most wonderful meals in the city can be had for less than $10.
Not a bad looking city, eh?
So if your travels bring you to San Francisco, below is the list of my favorite places to check out. Bon appétit!
Philz Coffee – my go-to iced coffee.
