To all members of the Alliance for Energy and Economic Growth, thank you for all of your support over the past four years. This bill would not be a reality today without your efforts.
For your information, a summary of the titles contained in the final report follows. We apologize for the length of the summary, approximately eight pages, summarized from a 1,700 page bill; however, we are confident that you will some its content helpful.
On Friday, July 29, 2005, the full Senate passed the energy conference report by a vote of 74 to 26. The full House had passed the report on July 28, 2005, by a vote of 274 to 156. With passage by the Senate, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 is now headed to the president who is expected to sign the bill into law this week.
With the exception of the Energy Policy Act of 1978, which focused on synthetic fuels, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 is the first comprehensive rewrite of energy laws in 70 years. The Energy Policy Act of 2005, in relation to the Advanced Energy Initiative (AEI), will impact energy policy for decades to come as the many new programs are implemented.
Title I – Energy Efficiency
The goal of this title is to promote energy conservation through three different mechanisms: first, the title increases conservation at federal buildings by 20% and assists state and local facilities in becoming more energy efficient, through policies, such as the Advanced Energy Initiative. Second, the title includes weatherization assistance and reauthorizes the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Third, the title establishes energy efficiency standards for a number of manufactured products, including residential appliances and commercial equipment. The title also reauthorizes the energy savings performance contract program (section 105). During conference, the title was amended to require the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to report to Congress when the agency fails to issue new efficiency standards according to the statutory schedule. Additionally the conference report clarifies Congress' intent regarding the labeling of energy-efficient products and removes language that would allow DOE to set efficiency standards for component parts of residential furnaces. The conference report also contains a new daylight savings schedule. Daylight savings will run from the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday of November, effective March 2007. DOE is required to perform a study of how this change impacts the U.S. economy before the new schedule takes effect.
Title II – Renewable Energy
This title requires the federal government to increase its use of renewable energy to 7.5% by 2012 and contains incentives, programs, and provisions for insular, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy production. The title also includes provisions to expedite and streamline the hydropower re-licensing process. The title authorizes a sugar cane ethanol program and provides grants to improve the commercial value of forest biomass. Despite being debated heavily, the final conference report does not contain a Renewable Portfolio Standard.
Title III – Oil and Gas
This title contains a wide range of provisions, including increased access to onshore exploration on federal lands; authorization for coastal assistance; and increased regulatory certainty for natural gas infrastructure, including the grant of exclusive authority to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) over natural gas siting. The conference report includes the Outer Continental Shelf inventory provision (Section 357), and also grants FERC exclusive siting authority over liquefied natural gas terminals. The report also contains a provision that directs the DOE to study the use of radiation to refine petroleum products as a way to increase oil production. Title III addresses orphaned, abandoned and idled wells, and includes a pilot program to offer incentives to private companies to encourage them take responsibility for these wells. After much debate, the final conference report does not contain an oil savings provision. Also left out of the final report is a lease repurchase provision from the House version of the bill. The provision would have allowed a leaseholder to force the federal government to repurchase a lease that it had issued for exploration and development where the government later refused to issue the permit needed to conduct those exploration and development activities on the leased property.
Other important provisions in this title include:
* Exempt hydraulic fracturing from the Safe Drinking Water Act's Underground Injection Control program.
* Amend the Clean Water Act definition of oil and gas exploration to include construction activities, which exempts oil and gas construction activities from the act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting program.
* Provide incentives for marginal property production, natural gas production from deep wells in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and gas hydrate production.
* Encourage enhanced oil and natural gas production through CO2 injection.
* Reforms permitting practices and management of federal leasing programs, including a pilot program to improve coordination.
* Designate energy rights-of-way corridors on federal lands.
* Authorize programs for oil shale, tar sands, and other strategic unconventional fuels.
* Establish coastal assistance programs.
* Establish "categorical exclusions" from National Environmental Policy Act for five oil and gas exploration activities if they are conducted pursuant to the Mineral Leasing Act.
Title IV – Coal
This title authorizes funds for clean-coal technologies research, such as with the Advanced Energy Initiative, allocating 70% of the funds to the study and development of coal gasification (also known as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, or IGCC) and 30% to other technologies. The title provides a range of grants and incentives for clean-coal research and implementation. The bill also streamlines the federal coal leasing program and repeals the 160-acre limit on federal coal leases.
Title V – Indian Energy
This title streamlines the approval process for Indian tribes to enter into leases, and business agreements. It grants rights-of-way for the development of resources located on Tribal lands by establishing one "master" approval process between the tribe and the federal government. This agreement allows tribes to enter into contracts and lease agreements with private entities pursuant to the master agreement without having to seek separate authorization for each agreement. The report also includes a provision that would grant Indian tribes additional decision-making authority over energy projects located on Indian lands and provides for the use of energy-efficient measures in federally assisted housing located on tribal lands.
Title VI – Nuclear Matters
This title reauthorizes the Price-Anderson Act amendments, extending indemnification authority and increasing the maximum assessment amounts. The report contains a provision to allow the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to offer incentives, such as grants and loans, to recruit students into nuclear-related fields of study. The title adopts a number of new security provisions, including a requirement to conduct security response evaluations of nuclear facilities every three years. The conferees agreed to adopt an amendment requested by the Bush Administration that would include a risk insurance program, also known as "stand-by support," for the construction of six new nuclear power plants. The title contains provisions for the design, construction, and operation of next generation nuclear power plants. Further, the report contains a provision that allows for the export of highly enriched uranium for medical isotope production, under prescribed circumstances, to five designated "recipient" countries: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. This title addresses the safe disposal of greater-than-Class C radioactive waste and authorizes a demonstration project to produce hydrogen at existing nuclear power plants.
Title VII – Vehicles and Fuels
This title primarily addresses alternative fuel use and fuel cell technology, and includes a number of miscellaneous provisions, including a "Conserve by Biking" program and the Advanced Energy Initiative.
The conferees agreed on two amendments. The first requires that dual-use vehicles be labeled in order to notify drivers of the alternative fuel type that can be used. Otherwise, the vehicle cannot qualify for fuel economy incentives. The second allows vehicles used in emergency transmission line repair and electricity service restoration to qualify for the emergency exemption to the alternative fueled vehicle purchasing requirements contained in the act. The title contains a provision that makes grant money available to states that implement voluntary diesel emissions programs. Additionally, the title contains a provision that instructs the Secretary of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to evaluate a number of conditions, including scientific feasibility and economic impact, before increasing fuel economy standards.
Title VIII – HydrogenThis title addresses the continued development of hydrogen and fuel cell technology through research and demonstration projects. Provisions create a hydrogen and fuel cell task force, authorize projects that use solar and wind power to produce hydrogen, and direct the Secretary of Energy to ensure that technology developed under this title is transferred to the private sector.
Title IX – Research and Development
The purpose of this title is to establish research goals and allocate funding for multiple resource and technology research programs in the following categories:
* energy efficiency, in policies such as the Advanced Energy Initiative;
* distributed energy and electric energy systems;
* renewable energy;
* agricultural biomass research and development programs;
* nuclear energy;
* fossil energy, including carbon capture, coal mining technologies, low volume oil and gas reservoir
* research and methane hydrate research;
* science, including fusion and fission technology; and
* ultra-deepwater and unconventional natural gas and other petroleum resources.
Title X – Department of Energy Management
The purpose of this title is to elevate the DOE staff positions that oversee science matters at the agency and to expedite the movement of new technologies into the market. Additionally, the title provides for increased technology transfer from DOE to the private sector. Provisions are included for small business advocacy and assistance, as well as competitive prizes to be awarded for "grand challenges" in science and for measures that decrease the United States' dependence on foreign sources of oil.
Title XI – Personnel and Training
The purpose of this title is to address the concern about a lack of qualified scientists in the energy field by creating grants, fellowships, and other incentives to encourage Americans to enter into energy research professions. Additionally, this title provides for skilled technical training and creates competitive continuing education programs for math and science teachers at the National Labs.
Title XII – Electricity
The title establishes a mandatory framework to ensure transmission grid stability. The Electric Reliability Organization replaces the existing voluntary scheme with mandatory standards and enforcement authority. The title grants the federal government exclusive authority to site electric transmission facilities in designated "corridors of national interest." Additionally, the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act is amended to include requirements for net metering and "smart," or time-based, metering. The title provides for the creation of joint regional boards to study the issue of security constrained economic dispatch. The boards are directed to consider how this mode of operating an electric energy system impacts reliability and affordability, as documented in the Advanced Energy Initiative.
The conferees debated, at length, eminent domain issues related to transmission line siting in designated "national interest" corridors and eventually agreed to specify in the title that rights-of-way obtained for transmission grids cannot be used for any other purpose. It was also agreed to grant utilities and transmission owners expedited access to facilities located on federal lands in order to comply with new reliability standards. Within the title, there are two amendments that address regional concerns. The conferees approved an amendment that allows New York to establish reliability rules that are more stringent than the proposed national standard. The conferees also agreed to a "sense of Congress," a compromise to address the concerns of New England legislators regarding a new FERC policy that regulates locational installed capacity pricing in New England. In order to include more consumer protection, the title includes a provision to provide relief from termination payments associated with manipulated contracts for the sale of electric energy. The title repeals the Public Utilities Holding Companies Act and grants additional authority to FERC over mergers and acquisitions involving public utilities. The title also contains a provision regarding native load service obligations.
Title XIII – Energy Policy Tax Incentives
The tax title provides incentives in the following categories: electricity infrastructure, domestic fossil fuel security, conservation and energy efficiency provisions, and alternative motor vehicles and fuels incentives. Specific provisions include:
* Reduces the depreciation period for national gas distribution lines from 20 years to 15 years.
* Allows two-year amortization of geological and geophysical costs incurred in connection with oil and gas exploration.
* Increases eligibility for small refiner percentage depletion deductions from 50,000 barrels to 75,000 barrels and bases the limit on average daily production.
* Affirms that natural gas gathering lines are subject to seven-year depreciation.
* Establishes three tax credits for investments in clean-coal facilities that produce electricity.
Electricity Infrastructure
* Reduces the depreciation period for assets used in the transmission and distribution of electricity from 20 years to 15 years.
* Creates a production tax credit for new nuclear power facilities at a rate of 1.8 cents per kWh for electricity produced over an eight-year period.
* Extends the renewable electricity production credit through December 31, 2007, for qualified facilities including: wind, closed-loop biomass, open-loop biomass, geothermal, small irrigation power, landfill gas, trash combustion, and incremental hydropower.
Alternative Motor Vehicles and Fuels Incentives
* Provides tax credits for the purchase of hybrid, fuel cell, advanced lean-burn diesel and other alternative power vehicles, through policies such as the Advanced Energy Initiative.
* Expands the small ethanol producer credit to producers with annual production capacity of 60 million gallons (up from 30 million gallons).
Conservation and Energy-Efficiency Provisions
* Creates a 30% tax credit for the purchase of residential solar water heating, photovoltaic equipment, and fuel cell property.
* Creates a 10% personal tax credit for energy efficient improvements to existing homes.
Title XIV – Miscellaneous
Provisions address:
* Energy production incentives for electricity produced using coal that is mined within a state, so long as the utility employs clean-coal technology.
* Oxygen fuel development and distribution.
* "Set America Free:" establishes a U.S. Commission to make recommendations for a North American energy policy that will achieve energy self-sufficiency by 2025 within Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
* Cold cracking, the application of radiation to petroleum at standard temperature and pressure to refine petroleum products.
Title XV – Ethanol and Motor Fuels
The title contains a 7.5 billion gallon Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) and does not include liability protection for ethanol. Of the 7.5 billion gallon RFS, 250 million gallons are dedicated to ethanol produced from cellulosic biomass. The title also contains an "Advanced Biofuel Technology Program" to fund demonstration projects for cellulosic biomass with an emphasis on encouraging geographic diversity for the production of ethanol. The report is largely silent on MTBE, although parties are given the opportunity to move MTBE lawsuits to federal district courts. The oxygen content requirement for reformulated gasoline is eliminated
The title also addresses underground storage tank compliance and aims to decrease the proliferation of boutique fuels.
Title XVI – Climate Change
The conferees rejected the "Sense of the Senate," which addressed the need for a mandatory cap-and-trade program to address greenhouse gas emissions, but did adopt a climate change title that creates a committee of cabinet-level officials to develop a national strategy on climate change and creates a new Climate Change Technology Program at DOE. The interagency committee is tasked with developing greenhouse gas intensity reducing technology strategies. The title also provides for the deployment of greenhouse gas reduction technologies to developing countries.
Title XVII – Incentives for Innovative Technologies
The goal of this title is to encourage the development of innovative technologies that do not adversely impact air quality, through policies such as the Advanced Energy Initiative. The title creates a loan guarantee program for innovative technology projects in categories such as renewable energy systems; nuclear generation; advanced fossil energy technologies; coal gasification; and efficient electrical generation, transmission, and distribution projects.
Title XVIII – Studies
This title authorizes the completion of 40 studies, including:
* telecommuting;
* coal bed methane;
* Indian land rights of way;
* fuel cell and hydrogen technology;
* renewable energy on federal land; and
* split estate federal oil and gas leasing and development practices.
The title also contains a requirement that the departments of energy, defense, and homeland security assess the impacts of China's energy needs on U.S. interests. The Energy, Defense, Homeland Security study will run concurrently with the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) inquiry, and must be complete within 120 days of enactment. CFIUS is not permitted to issue its decision until 21 days after the Energy, Defense, Homeland Security report is released.

I was diagnosed with AS in 2010.
My name is Scott Flinchbaugh and I am from South Central Pennsylvania. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider in July 2009. A few weeks after the wound on my foot got better, I started exhibiting the signs of arthritis. The surgeon and infectious diseases doctors that were my caretakers during a surgery on my bite ankle almost 6 months after the bite is the one who figured out that I had developed AS as an autoimmune response to the infection and destruction of bone and tissue in my ankle.
Talk about a life changing disease. I would estimate that I am 25% of the person that was prior to diagnosis. The fatigue, the pain, and the not knowing what comes next is a way of life that takes some real adjustment. In addition, the process of trial and failure of drugs to help a person each individual person with AS is not always cookie cutter medicine. I have tried sulfasalazine, oral methotrexate, then switched to injectable methotrexate (MTX). During the last 9 months in addition to the MTX we have tried Enbrel with no impact, and Humira from which I developed the side effect of psoriasis of the scalp. In addition I've run the gambit of pain medications. I seem to develop a tolerance for them rather quickly or my disease is progressing so fast, that I am now on low dose morphine 24/7.
Working with AS is a struggle and everyone has to handle it as best they can. So of course, that places the AS learning curve on your employer and co-workers. You start to feel like a broken record.
It's so important to raise the awareness of this disease, its symptoms, its challenges, and even the drugs that are used to treat it as well as their side effects.
The faces of Ankylosing Spondylitis is a great concept. Let's raise awareness.
Doing so will not only help us, but help those that are facing this disease in their differential diagnosis .
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Thank you for the kind words.
Hi Scott. Thanks for sharing your story. I was wondering what your doctor is doing to treat your psoriasis. I am olso on Humira and have a bad case on my hand and wrist. Thanks!
Daryl Lee, I stopped the humira for just one injection, and the psoriasis is gone. Now it's time for weekly meds, and do you think I can find out from the doctor what she wants me to take this weekend? It it's not one thing, it's another.
Sorry I can't be of more help other than to tell you that psoriasis is a side effect of Humira. It may not be of all Biologics. Perhaps Enbrel would work as well for you.
Thank you, Matt. Back atcha!
Dear Scott, hope you are well. I am on humira too, so far with positive effects. You say your AS developed after you were bit by a spider. Mine came after I was in a vehicle accident. I didnt know it was possible to develop AS from a trauma, like it triggered it somehow. Thanks for sharing your story, I think I may know a little more about mine now.

Канал автодорожных сообщений (, TMC) — технология, которая используется для передачи информации о дорожных пробках и неблагоприятных дорожных условиях. Как правило, данные передаются в виде цифровых кодов, с использованием радиосистемы оповещения (FM-RDS) для обычных FM-приёмников. Данные могут быть также переданы на радио или спутниковое радио. Услуги по передаче данных об автодорожной информации в настоящее время предоставляются государственными и коммерческими компаниями в большинстве стран Европы. Поддержка функций TMC позволяет навигационной системе автомобиля получить информацию об участках с дорожными инцидентами и построить альтернативный маршрут для объезда проблемных участков.

Принципы работы

Данные о каждом инциденте в дорожном движении передаются как TMC-сообщение. Сообщение состоит из кода события, кода местоположения и направлении действия события.
Коды событий основаны на стандарте Alert C (стандарт ISO EN ISO 14819-6-2007), который содержит перечень из 2048 событий, коды этих событий могут быть переданы на TMC-приёмник на языке пользователя.

Источником дорожной информации, как правило, являются полицейские службы, камеры слежения на дорогах, данные с устройств контроля дорожного трафика и другие.

Коды местоположения поддерживаются на уровне государств, при этом каждому участку дорожной сети присваивается свой уникальный код.

Для создания национальной сети необходимо подготовить таблицы TMC и сертифицировать их в европейской неправительственной организации TISA (Traveller Information Services Association), которая осуществляет координацию работ по внедрению технологий и стандартов TMC. После сертификации таблиц в TISA, организации, подавшей заявку на сертификацию таблиц, выдаётся свидетельство о соответствии таблиц правилам TISA, таблицам присваиваются уникальные номера, и данные по ним (коды месторасположений) становятся доступными для всех членов этой организации.

Организации, члены TISA, желающие использовать в своих навигационных устройствах сертифицированные таблицы TMC, обращаются к организации-владельцу сертификата на необходимую таблицу, и получают разрешение на использование. Навигационные устройства содержат картографический материал, в который после получения разрешения на использование таблицы TMC, внесены необходимые уникальные коды этой таблицы.

В число членов TISA входят крупнейшие производители навигационных систем и карт (в том числе NAVTEQ и Tele Atlas), производители автомобилей, радиовещатели, национальные службы управления дорожным движением и многие другие компании.

Безопасность
В апреле 2007 года на конференции CanSecWest два итальянских хакера, Андреа Баризани (Andrea Barisani) и Даниэле Бьянко (Daniele Bianco) продемонстрировали, как можно легко посылать ложные сообщения в навигационные системы, принимающих по FM-каналу информацию о дорожном движении. Их доклад по RDS-TMC был опубликован, а подробные инструкции и схемы были размещены в «хакерском» журнале Phrack (выпуск № 64).

То, что хакеры потенциально способны эмулировать TMC-сообщения и таким образом вводить в заблуждение водителей использующих навигационные системы (или создавать проблемы для дорожного движения) остаётся актуальной проблемой, так как большинство европейских каналов, по которым передаётся информация о дорожной обстановке — не шифруются, а посылаются по TMC (хотя сами TMC сообщения могут быть зашифрованы) в рамках RDS-канала. В настоящее время в качестве замены TMC предлагается технология TPEG (Transport Protocol Experts Group), но в TPEG также отсутствует шифрование, что не решает полностью проблемы.

В США и Канаде ситуация с безопасностью TMC обстоит лучше, так как данные передаются в зашифрованном виде по спутниковым каналам и по беспроводной сети передачи данных DirectBand, также использующей для передачи данных FM-диапазон, не занятый радиостанциями. Сеть DirectBand построена и управляется компанией Microsoft, и функционирует в 125 городах США и Канады.

Действующие службы передачи дорожной информации

Вещание на частотах France Inter, зона покрытия вся страна (главные автомагистрали и Париж). Первоначально услуга была бесплатной, но сейчас её сделали платной. Хотя TMC-данные не шифруются для ограничения доступа используется альтернативная таблица кодов местоположений. Подобный метод признан в TMC Forum как «interim encryption». Служба имеет около 60000 клиентов.

Совместная служба ViaMichelin и Carte Blanche вещается в сети Towercast. В сентябре 2005 PSA Peugeot Citroen подписала партнёрское соглашение с ViaMichelin об использования данных о трафике в своих навигационных систем.

Разработку кодов местоположений по стране осуществляет государственное агентство SETRA (около 20000 месторасположений. SETRA также разрабатывает коды месторасположений для Андорры.

Чехия

В Чехии с января 2006 работают 2 службы TMC:
 Служба DIC PRAHA доступна в Праге, вещание на радиостанции Cesky Rozhlas — канал Regina (92,6 МГц). Услуги представляются TSK-PRAHA (Communication Technical Administration). Данные — информация о дорожных инцидентах, представляются центром дорожного движения Праги (TIC Praha).
 Совместная служба Teleasist и Global Assistance зона покрытия вся страна, однако, данные менее детальны чем в DIC Praha. Радиостанция Cesky Rozhlas — CRo1 Radiozurnal.

Развитие TMC услуг координируется CEDA, которая также отвечает за разработки кодов местоположений по стране.

Швеция
Бесплатная TMC-служба предоставляется Шведской дорожной администрацией (Swedish Road Administration (SRA или Vagverket), которая также отвечает за разработку кодов местоположений.

Швеция разделена на 8 зон вещания, для передачи данных только о локальном трафике. Зона покрытия магистрали европейского, национального и регионального уровня, данные TMC включают информацию о дорожно-транспортных происшествиях, дорожных работах и погоде. Вещание в сети Sveriges Radio на SR P3.

Швейцария
TMC служба обеспечивается компанией Viasuisse, вещание осуществляется Swiss Broadcasting Corporation на канале FM chain 1.

За разработку кодов местоположений отвечает Swiss Federal Roads Authority FEDRO но их разработка осуществляется B+S Ingenieur (Bundesamt fur Strassen).

США и Канада
XM Satellite Radio и Sirius Satellite Radio передают сообщения TMC на всей территории США. Услуги TMC также представляют Clear Channel и Tele Atlas используя FM-RDS в 77 городах США и в 3-х регионах Канады.

Корпорация Microsoft поддерживает собственную беспроводную сеть DirectBand, охватывающую 125 городов США и 3 города Канады, в которой также передаются TMC сообщения в FM-диапазоне. В сентябре 2007 г. Microsoft выпустила автомобильную навигационную систему MS Streets & Trips, соединяющую в себе три компонента — картографическое ПО и два приемника: GPS и MSN Direct. Последний снабжает пользователя сведениями о дорожном трафике и ценах на бензин в каждой заправке, мимо которой он проезжает. Помимо этого новинка интегрирована со справочником Live Search Maps, позволяющим путешественникам получить информацию о придорожной инфраструктуре в любом интересующем их районе. Общее число объектов, включенных в Live Search Maps, достигает 1,6 млн, среди них — банкоматы, гостиницы, рестораны и различные достопримечательности.

Глобальный поставщик цифровых карт для автомобильных навигационных устройств NAVTEQ в ноябре 2006 г. купил компанию Traffic.com (штаб-квартира в Уэйне, штат Пенсильвания, образована в 1998 г.), которая предоставляет платную информацию о состоянии дорожного движения в 50 крупнейших городах страны. Услугами Traffic.com пользуются правительственные и коммерческие организации, различные электронные СМИ в том числе AOL, Microsoft, , Comcast, Garmin and XM Satellite Radio.

Планы внедрения служб TMC в других регионах
Внедрение служб TMC планируется в Португалии и Венгрии (тестовое вещание планируется во второй половине 2008). В Ирландии и Люксембурге ввод TMC-служб пока не планируется. В Польше частная радиостанция делала тестовый запуск, но и Главное управление по делам национальных дорог и магистралей (General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways GDDKIA) пока не приняло решение о полном внедрении. В Дубае коды местоположений сертифицированы в TMC Forum. В Турции ввод службы TMC только планируется.

В Китае пока проводятся исследования для выбора технологии на которой будет базироваться информационная служба о дорожном движении. Основные претенденты японская система VICS и европейская TMC. Тем не менее, таблица кодов местоположений уже сертифицирована в TMC Forum.

TMC в России
В России существует несколько коммерческих сервисов, основанных на ТМС.

17 июня 2005 года Министр транспорта РФ коснулся темы обработки данных о пробках в навигационных системах и заявил, что государство в лице Минтранса России и Роскартографии будет активно работать с частным бизнесом для поддержки «российской навигации во всех аспектах». Однако, с того времени никакой активности Министерства транспорта на данном направлении не замечено.

О планах участия в создании сервиса TMC в России также заявляла компания «Навигационные карты» — российский партнер компании TeleAtlas, выпускающей карты для штатных автомобильных навигационных систем.

24 июня 2009 года ЗАО Навиком (официальный поставщик Garmin в России) начало вещание информации о скорости движения транспорта на дорогах Москвы в формате RDS-TMC. Данный сервис доступен только для пользователей навигаторов Garmin марок Nuvi с буквой «T» в названии модели, например, nuvi 2595LMT.. В настоящий момент информация о пробках неточна, что связано с неспособностью системы TMC обеспечить передачу информации о состоянии всех дорог в крупных мегаполисах.

На 1 декабря 2017 в России ведётся вещание трафика в формате RDS-TMC в 23 городах: Владивосток, Вологда, Воронеж, Екатеринбург, Иркутск, Казань, Калининград, Киров, Краснодар, Красноярск, Москва, Нижний Новгород, Новосибирск, Ростов-на-Дону, Самара, Санкт-Петербург, Сочи, Тверь, Тольятти, Уфа, Хабаровск, Челябинск, Ярославль. Данные о трафике берутся от ресурса Яндекс-пробки и вещаются в Москве в FM диапазоне на трёх частотах: 99.6 (радиостанция Финам FM), 107.0 (радиостанция Русская служба новостей), 107.4 (радиостанция Хит FM) МГц.

В начале 2011 года компания NAVTEQ начала предоставлять информацию о скорости движения транспорта через RDS-TMC в Москве, и позднее в Санкт-Петербурге, Екатеринбурге, Нижнем Новгороде, Новосибирске, Ростове-на-Дону, Самаре и Казани. В 2012 году Nokia Location & Commerce (ранее купившая NAVTEQ) расширила вещание на Краснодар, Красноярск, Челябинск, Пермь, Тольятти и Воронеж. В 2013 году HERE (новый бренд заместивший Nokia Location & Commerce в 2013) расширила вещание на Кемерово, Тюмень, Сургут, Саратов, Набережные Челны, Ижевск, Рязань, Липецк, Владивосток, Сочи и Ставрополь. В Москве вещание ведется на частотах Авторадио, Романтика и Love радио. Так же информация о пробках в указанных городах доступна через сервис XML-TMC (через Интернет), который имеет более детальное покрытие и информацию о дорогах без пробок (free flow). На конец 2012 года в картах NAVTEQ интегрированы ТМС таблицы 31 города России (кроме указанных выше, это Сочи, Владивосток, Кемерово, Тюмень, Ставрополь, Сургут, Саратов, Набережные Челны, Ижевск, Рязань, Иркутск, Оренбург, Липецк, Барнаул, Волгоград, Омск). В 2013 году в картах HERE интегрированы ТМС таблицы еще нескольких городов России (кроме указанных выше, это Москва в новых границах, Астрахань, Белгород, Ульяновск, 16 городов Московской области). Все таблицы сертифицированы TISA.

В 2012 году сервис NAVTEQ Traffic использовался на штатных навигационных системах автомобилей Volvo, Land Rover, а также на устройствах Alpine. В 2013 году сервис HERE Traffic (RDS TMC) используется на штатных навигационных системах автомобилей Volvo, Land Rover, Honda, а также на устройствах Alpine. XML TMC используется на штатных навигационных системах автомобилей SsangYong Actyon, а также на aftermarket-устройствах для Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio.

Альтернативы TMC
Все большее количество автомобильных навигаторов и сотовых телефонов с GPS обладают способностью подключаться к Интернету, и поставщики навигационных программ всё чаще используют соединение с Интернетом для передачи информации о пробках в режиме онлайн.

ТМС разрабатывался более 30 лет назад для передачи информации о пробках на автомагистралях. Каждый участок дороги имеет собственный идентификатор. Когда возникает пробка, в эфир отправляется идентификатор участка, направление действия (в какую сторону пробка) и его состояния (свободен, пробка, ремонт, дорожное происшествие и многое другое). Таких участков для одной таблицы TMC может быть до 65535. Навигационные приёмники сопоставляют принятую информацию с картой, и если в карте имеются такие же идентификаторы на дорогах, на экране появляется информация о пробке.

Проблемы систем основанных только на ТМС таблицах состоят в том, что если какой-то участок дороги не описан в ТМС таблицах, то на нем не возможно показать пробку. Для многих стран плохо покрытых в ТМС таблицах это создает проблему. С реконструкцией дорог, ТМС таблицы тоже должны обновляться (вместе с картами). Для решения используют новый вид описания пробки или другого дорожного события, который привязывается не к коду ТМС таблицы, а к географическим координатам. Однако такое описание увеличивает общий объем передаваемых данных в несколько раз. Поэтому в кодировании информации о пробках перспективным считается использование комбинации как ТМС таблиц, что снижает объем данных и позволяет описать пробки на большинстве дорог, так и описания в привязке к координатам, что дает возможность описать пробки на незакодированном в ТМС участке дороги.

Won't purchase again. Our family felt ill afterward, and they add way too much food coloring, which you are reminded of for the next day or two as the coloring proceeds through your system :(. I returned the caramel flavor without giving it a chance.


Description: The problem: We wanted to have a bigger bed for our tween boy, yet still have a trundle to pull out for sleep-overs.
When we couldn't find that anywhere, we decided to build a bed ourselves using some IKEA products.
We used an Odda pull out bed for the trundle. And we used Sultan Luröy slatted bed base to build the queen sized bed around.
On the Odda pull-out bed we cut down the face board on the front as shown in the picture. Then we attached a new board at 9 inches tall and 79″ long to fit with the size and wood type of the new bed.
We finished the rough edge on the Odda with a piece of quarter round wood. See picture.
For the bed itself, we made two end boards sized 61 3/4″ (but I would probably make that 62″ if I had to do it over for a tiny more space for the slats) and two side rails out of 1×6 wood. They are 80″ long. See picture.
We used surface mounted bed rail brackets to assemble the bed. Then added a fifth board on the side of the bed that was opposite the trundle opening for stabilization (80″x9″).
Then we made a T-post out of 2×3 lumber and a holder for it out of 2×4. See picture. I added felt to the inside to avoid squeaking as well as to the top of the t-post before putting down the Sultan slatted bed base and the Sultan Florvåg mattress.
Last, we made a tufted headboard for the bed.
More pictures of how we made the bed here.
Sultan goes outdoor and back under the bed..
What kind of bed is the queen bed? We are looking to do something like this but will need to buy a bed frame that can accommodate a trundle.
my husband and i are not handy. where can i just find one like this already built. Ideally, I am looking for a queen size and a twin trundle already built and easy to manage. Not young anymore either! I'll come back to check if we ever get an answer. Thank you.


In nature, the biodegradation of lignin is a challenging process since lignin is highly cross-linked and poorly water-soluble. Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2, benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase) play a key role in the enzymatic degradation of lignin and ionic liquids (ILs) have been used successfully to dissolve lignin. One limitation in lignin degradation using laccases is their low activity/resistance in the presence of ILs. In order to improve the resistance of laccase in IL, a directed evolution protocol based on the ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid))-screening assay in 96-well microtiter plate format was developed. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([EMIM] [EtSO4]) can dissolve lignin efficiently and its anion does not inhibit laccase. The stability of the ABTS radical cation was not affected in the presence of [EMIM] [EtSO4]. Therefore, ([EMIM] [EtSO4]) is a suitable cosolvent for directed laccase evolution. Four laccases (lcc1_2005, lcc1_1997, lcc2 and CVLG1) from T. versicolor (Trametes versicolor) were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and finally lcc2 was selected as the starting point due to its superior resistance and activity in presence of [EMIM] [EtSO4]. After two rounds of directed evolution, the lcc2 variant M3 (Phe265Ser/Ala318Val) displayed about 4.5-fold higher activity than the lcc2 wild type (WT) in the presence of 15% (v/v) [EMIM] [EtSO4] and a 3.5-fold higher activity than lcc2 WT in buffer. The IC50 value of [EMIM] [EtSO4] towards M3 increases from 392 mM (lcc2 WT) to 497 mM.


There's a reason I don't watch late-night talk shows. For one, my life just hasn't bottomed out yet. For two, I'm generally reading or sleeping or both, which is possible with a large print edition, bedside lamp, and significant doses of prolamine iodine.
Tonight, however, I ate cookies. For most adults and the majority of toddlers, this isn't a headline making event. For me, sugar is outside the scope of my diet. I'd say it has the same affect on me as chocolate-coated coffee beans, but chocolate-coated coffee beans would stop my heart. So, no, it's not like that. It just makes me wired. Unable to sleep. Restless. It can even prompt me to tweet, which, when done on sugar, isn't much different than drunk dialing.
So take into consideration the extent of my conscious mind before I'll click on a video of a compilation of Wednesday night's late-night television. Basically, I have to be drugged.
I thought I'd share. Enjoy what you can. There are even Obama jokes now. And it only took two years of insane spending, flubs, inaccuracies, factual fallacies, ridiculous quotes, missteps, a grassroots opposing movement, international leaders mocking him, and a historic vote of conservatives in the House.
They're only a Presidential candidacy and half-term late. That's comedy on the cutting-edge.
Poor Letterman. He just can't bring himself to harm The One without attacking Palin, since jokes about her have never been tried before.
I wonder what Letterman would do if he ever stumbled onto a dead horse.


Is it possible to want something bad, even before it is released? Magic 8 ball answers with a resounding YES.
I live, eat, and breath Make Up For Ever, so it should come as no surprise to hear that I am on the new Aqua Eye Liners like white on rice.
Staying true to our belief of never having to sacrifice color for performance, MAKE UP FOR EVER introduces another vibrant addition to our award-winning Aqua range – new Aqua Liner. This eye-catching, highly pigmented new collection of waterproof liquid eye liner was developed to outperform even in the most extreme environments. Aqua Liner was created to provide make up artists with the ultimate liquid liner that boasts precision, a 100% waterproof formula and a bold assortment of colors.
As the official make up sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami, MAKE UP FOR EVER put artists to work at the top 2011 swimwear shows testing Aqua Liner on models backstage. Their challenge was to create bold, show-stopping make up looks that wouldn't melt or fade while on the runway under hot lights, performing in the water, or in the humid Miami climate. The end result? Aqua Liner guaranteed intense weather, tear and sweat-proof color that lasted through the shows.
Aqua Liner is formulated with acrylic copolymer, a hydrophobic macromolecule that forms a flexible film to lock water out. It contains 50% more polymers than traditional eyeliner formulations to ensure a long-lasting, waterproof result, as well as essential amino acids derived from apple juice for high-color intensity and bold pay-off.
Available in 15 vibrant shades with matte, iridescent and diamond finishes, Aqua Liner can be used to match all moods and styles. The long and dense, yet flexible applicator is designed like a make up brush handle to ensure easy application, with a specialized foam tip that delivers the ideal amount of texture for drawing an ultra precise line with a buildable result.
Aqua Liner goes on evenly and dries quickly for a look that lasts all day and all night long.
Mark your calenders, beauties. Aqua liners officially launch May 12th, exclusively at Sephora.
I bet these will be amazeballs! Can't wait to see swatches!

"Say" is a song by John Mayer written for the Rob Reiner film The Bucket List in 2007. It was released as a single on November 20 and is the first commercial single in Mayer's career that was not originally released on one of his albums but added to the special edition re-release of his album, Continuum. In the U.S., it has become the artist's highest charting single to date, reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 in May, 2008. The song earned Mayer another Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, his fourth win on the category.
The music video for "Say" was directed by music video director Vem. The song is also referred to as "Say (What You Need to Say)" as this is the main line from the chorus of the song. The song was also the first "assignment" song that Mayer had ever written. He felt a little soul-less in the initial composition, writing just a terribly simple song. He notes that when writing the song "I don't know how much harder it gets than to see a beautiful, bittersweet movie and then have to write a song that matches the tone." Mayer posted the song on his official blog on November 16.

Say the word 'carnival' and three words come to mind: Rio de Janeiro. Renowned the world over, Brazil's most hedonistic city holds the biggest, craziest and most colourful week-long carnival each year.
But, look outside of this fun-filled party bubble and check out the best alternative carnivals to visit during the silly season – from Salvador's eclectic Afro-Caribbean carnival to Paraty's sun-soaked celebrations close to the beach.
If you go to carnival once in your life, make sure it's in Rio de Janeiro. Locals and tourists alike will tell you: this is the place to do it. It's decadent, ostentatious, and hedonistic – with two million people hitting the streets to celebrate every day.
Popular street parties known as 'blocos' take place in all neighbourhoods across the city. Expect homemade costumes (or lack thereof) and downing copious amounts of Skol Beats, a Brazilian alcopop, beer and cachaça. Or lose your senses at the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí, where samba performances take place every night. Party until the early hours and watch spectacular parades of floats, dancers and drummers.
Need a break? There's little respite during this week-long celebration, but a day trip to Ipanema beach should do the trick.
Watch out Rio, you've got competition. Bahía's Salvador also likes to brandish the 'biggest carnival in the world' badge proudly on its chest. But you won't get the pulsating beats of samba here. Rooted in Afro-Caribbean culture, axé is the music of Bahía – an intoxicatingly high energy fusion of African and Brazilian pop-music. Expect full-on blocos and dancing in the streets for six-days straight.
You'll hear the term 'trio eléctricos' being used a lot in Salvador. These are are enormous trucks equipped with booming sound systems. And you'll know it by sight: they're followed by thousands of carnival revellers. Once the sun sets, things are bound to get wild. The main party is at Barra, close to Salvador's main city beach.
Need a break? Explore the Old Town, with its family-friendly vibe and Afro-dancing and musical influences. Or head to the ferry port and hop on a boat to Itaparica for spectacular beaches and endless vistas of the city.
The state of Pernambuco has some distinctively different carnival traditions. Both cities pride themselves on having a 'democratic party', meaning it's free and open to everyone to participate. Wherever you are, you'll never be far away from an impromptu bloco, although private parties similar to ones held in larger cities are becoming more popular.
Dance fever engulfs Recife during carnival – and it's no surprise there's lots of frevo music. You can't escape this genre of dance and rhythm, native in this part of Brazil. Its playful and sped-up style of marchinha originates in the area.
Don't expect to get much sleep either. A crowd of two million people gathers to party its way along the two and a half mile route around the city's centre, continuing well into the early hours. Steeped in Afro-Brazilian heritage, one of the most touching moments of the carnival is Night of the Silent Drums, which pays tribute to African slaves who lost their lives in prison.
Five miles outside Recife's booming metropolis lies the historic city of Olinda, whose colourful and winding streets are jam-packed during carnival. Its iconic celebration is well known for the life-size puppets paraded around the vibrantly decorated streets, to the beat of frevo.
It's a great family occasion too – with children, parents and grandparents all coming together in celebration.
Need a break? Take a 2-hour bus ride out of the city to Porto de Galinhas, arguably one of Brazil's most beautiful beaches. Hop on a motor taxi and spend the day at Maracapie, where the river meets the sea.
Natal's carnival is perfect for those who love to party but are otherwise engaged for the usual 40-days-before-lent date. Held in the early weeks of December, the vibe is reminiscent of Salvador's trios elétricocs with many a bloco to attend. This is most definitely the wildest out-of-season carnival in Brazil.
Need a break? If all that partying has gone to your head, head to one of Brazil's most famous beaches. Once a sleepy fisherman's village, Praia de Pipa has transformed into one of the hippest beach towns in Brazil best-loved for its surfing and ecological vibe.
Situated on Brazil's lusciously green Costa Verde, the pretty colonial town of Paraty with its preserved 18th century architecture and secluded bays is transformed into a carnival of colour. Hundreds of young revellers dance through the cobbled streets as the beautiful procession takes place.
Need a break? If it all gets a bit too much, take a short ferry ride to Isla Grande. The palm-lined beaches and clear waters are bound to be the perfect hangover cure. But just don't be surprised that you're not the only one with this idea.
Unlike Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, São Paulo's carnival tradition only began in the 1970s. Once upon a time, the teeming metropolis of Sãu Paulo was known as 'samba's grave' and it was commonplace to see hoards of Brazilians flee the city at the beginning of carnival.
However, São Paulo's work-hard, play-harder culture has rubbed off on its carnival, earning a reputation as one of the country's best. Hard-time party animals can visit the Sambodromo do Anhembi, or one of the many blocos happening in this super city.
Need a break? Take a stroll around Ibirapuera Park, the city's largest green space. Comprising of 158 hectares, you're bound to find some solace here.

These new paintings are meant to complement Corrected Vision, now on exhibit through August 1 at McLean Project for the Arts (MPA) in its curated and juried exhibit "Strictly Painting." Curated by senior curator for modern and contemporary art at The Phillips Collection.
If you miss the MPA show, some or all of these will be in my solo exhibit in September at Susan Calloway Fine Arts, Georgetown.
I like the idea of playing with an idea and carrying it further. Kind of like expressing a different tone or meaning of the same subject matter. For these paintings, the subject revolves around one idea: young or old, it's easy to develop a blind spot. Maybe that's called survival. Maybe denial.
In the final analysis, aren't we all a little confused from time to time?
Fabulous opening at Touchstone Gallery of my "Unfiltered" exhibit.

Indian troops still fighting 2 gunmen at Pathankot air base
Indian troops were still battling at least two gunmen Sunday night at an air force base near the border with Pakistan, more than a day and a half after the compound came under attack, a top government official said. At least seven troops and four gunmen have been killed in the fighting so far.
The two suspected militants were discovered shortly after noon Sunday and hours later appeared to have been cornered, Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi told reporters, adding that he expected the gunmen to be "neutralized" soon.
The attack on the Pathankot air force base started before dawn Saturday and is seen as an attempt to undo recent improvements in the relationship between archrivals India and Pakistan. It comes a week after Narendra Modi became the first Indian prime minister in 12 years to visit Pakistan.
Mehrishi said Indian authorities were alerted Friday afternoon about a potential terror attack in Pathankot, and that aerial surveillance at the base spotted the suspected militants as they entered the compound. He said they were quickly engaged by Indian troops and "were unable to move toward their likely intended target" of the area where the base's aircraft and military equipment are kept.
Since Saturday morning, the base has been swarming with air force commandos, troops from India's elite National Security Guard and local police.
The number of troops killed in the attack rose to seven on Sunday, with four succumbing to their injuries overnight and an elite commando killed in a morning blast that occurred while he was handling explosives, officials said.
The attack at one of India's major air force bases started a few hours before dawn Saturday when a group of militants entered the area of the base where the living quarters are located, the Defense Ministry said. The first gunbattle with the militants lasted about 14 hours, after which the air force said it had begun operations to secure the base.
Mehrishi said that troops were not certain of the presence of additional gunmen until they were discovered Sunday afternoon, and that the two men were cornered in a wooded area of the base by the evening.
"They are limited to an area and we are very hopeful that by this evening these two terrorists will be neutralized," he said.
A senior air force officer, Air Marshal Anil Khosla, told reporters in New Delhi that the base will not be declared fully secured until the entire area is thoroughly checked by troops.
The sprawling Pathankot air force base is spread over several kilometers (miles), including some forested sections. It houses a fleet of India's Russian-origin MiG-21 fighter jets and Mi-25 and Mi-35 attack helicopters, along with other military hardware.
The Defense Ministry said no aircraft or military equipment had been damaged in the fighting.
The base is on the highway that connects India's insurgency-plagued Jammu and Kashmir state with the rest of the country. It's also very close to India's border with Pakistan.
The Himalayan region of Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, but is claimed in its entirety by both. Rebels in India's portion of Kashmir have been fighting since 1989 for independence or merger with Pakistan.
India accuses Pakistan of arming and training the insurgents, a charge Islamabad denies, and the attack at the base is being viewed as a possible attempt to unravel recent progress in the relationship between the two nations.
Police have said they're investigating whether the gunmen came from the Indian portion of Kashmir, where rebels routinely stage attacks, or from Pakistan.
The violence follows Indian Prime Minister Modi's surprise Dec. 25 visit to Pakistan, where he met with his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif — a trip that marked a significant thaw in the mostly tense relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
The two leaders also held an unscheduled meeting at the Paris climate change talks last month.
Ahead of Modi's visit to Pakistan, the national security advisers of both countries met in Thailand. The foreign secretaries of both nations are scheduled to meet in Islamabad later this month.
The responses to the weekend attack from both countries have been muted so far, with neither New Delhi nor Islamabad giving any indication that the planned talks are under any threat.
In Pakistan, Sharif's foreign affairs adviser, Sartaj Aziz, said in a radio interview Saturday, as the attack was unfolding, that Pakistan wants to consolidate its improved relations with India. Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned the attack.
The reaction in India has also been quiet so far. While all political parties condemned the attack, there was no immediate demand that the government call off talks with Pakistan. In the past, when it was in opposition, Modi's own right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party has been the most vocal critic of engagement with Pakistan, saying that talks and terror should not go together.
But with Modi's own diplomatic engagement with Islamabad at stake, the BJP has given no indication yet that the planned talks have been threatened by the attack.

►John Heffernan, OFM, of Lima, for two years, has been offering dental care for the past year in Peru's central jungle. During the recent rainy season, John reports that he has hosted an oral health campaign through a medical post in the parish, Santa Ana, in a pueblo joven, south of Lima. Anthony Wilson, OFM, is the parish's pastor, works with Carlos Sarmiento, OFM, the parochial vicar. John is staying at the mission house in Mateo Pumachaua, with Paul Breslin, OFM, and Christopher Dunn, OFM, and will return to the jungle when school resumes in March, he said.
► Edward Higgins, OFM, a teacher at Paterson, N.J., Regional Catholic High School, has asked friars to consider donating items for classes.

► Stephen Kluge, OFM, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish on Long Beach Island, N.J, is giving two days of prayer this week to the Poor Clares. A program for the Poor Clares of Chesterfield is based on St. Francis' Prayer before the Crucifix and St. Clare's letters to Agnes of Prague. The Aston retreat at the Franciscan Spiritual Center in Aston, Pa., is based on the Scrutiny Readings for Lent and on original Stations of the Cross, Stephen said.
► Kevin Mackin, OFM, was quoted in an article in the Feb. 14 issue of the Schenectady Daily Gazette titled, "The Mysterious St. Valentine." In it, the president emeritus of Siena College and religious studies professor at the Loudonville campus described the reason for St. Valentine's "demotion," and explained a popular legend about the man. Comments from Kevin, as well as from Siena's Director of News Services Janet Gianopoulos, also appear in a Feb. 14 article in the Troy Record.

► Gene Pistacchio, OFM, celebrated a special Mass at the Wellness Center at St. Anthony Shrine in Boston for the World Day of the Sick on Feb. 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Mass "united us to the whole world to pray for all the sick and all those who care for them. Gene's homily, coupled with his musical and contemplative sense of liturgy, connected us with the whole world," said John Maganzini, OFM. All medical staff members associated with the Wellness Center were invited to share in both the Mass and a reception that followed. Sr. Pat Barrett, director of the Wellness Center, offered a reflection after Communion.

The Wellspring Community, Peckham
All photography provided by Marc Gascoigne
A New Monastic Community in North Peckham
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the famous German Lutheran Christian Minister, created the phrase when he helped to develop radical forms of Christian Community that wanted to live a life of prayerful action based on Christ's teachings in the Gospels with an attention to social, economic and ecological justice. In a letter to his brother before he was shot in detention nearly at the end of the Second World War by the Nazis he said this:
""The renewal of the Church will come from a new type of monasticism which has only in common with the old an uncompromising allegiance to the sermon on the mount. It's high time women and men banded together to do this.""
— Detrich Bonhoeffer in a letter to his brother from prison
Further, in the Anglican Church, and in particular the Oxford Movement of the 19th Century, there has always been a monastic spirituality within anglicanism. When the original monastic houses were closed in England under the authority of Henry VIII, there was always a vision of the local church with daily morning and evening prayer, eucharist and compline.
In recent times there has been a hunger for a new monasticism that seeks to draw on a sense of Benedictine stability and hospitality, Franciscan mission and Ignatian spirituality. Westcott, a former Church of England Bishop, said this in 1884:
"And thus, nothing from old times will meet our exigencies. We want a rule which shall answer to the complexity of our own age. We want a discipline which shall combine the sovereignty of soul of Antony, the social devotion of Benedict, the humble love of Francis, the matchless energy of the Jesuits, with faith that fears no trial, with hope that fears no darkness, with truth that fears no light. "
— Westcott, a former Church of England Bishop
1. So what are we doing?
We are using the Clergy House owned by the Diocese to accommodate two community members along with the Priest, Ian Mobsby, who plays a part in the Wellspring Community.

4th Sunday - Taize Chant Service
5th Sundays - Alternative or Labyrinth Service
If you are interested in exploring who we are, then please do come to these services and for a drink afterwards in the Peckham Pelican Bar.
3. Commitment to Contemplative Prayer Monday to Thursdays

Wednesdays - 7.30 am
Thursdays - 7.30 pm
4. New Monastic Gathering Tuesdays for those who are ready and or made commitments to take part in the Community.
Most Tuesdays of the year, we gather for evening prayer in the Church at 7.30pm, and then gather in the house for 8pm for food and dialogue. These gatherings in the House are by invitation only. If you are interested in attending please get in touch.
NB - As well as these evenings, there are a number of Special Events and Open Suppers which are great occasions for those who are interested in learning more about the community.
5. Prayer on Tuesday to Fridays at Copleston Church, Copleston Road.
Tuesdays - 7.30 am
Wednesdays - 6.30 pm
Thursdays - 7.30 am, and 6.30pm
Friday - 7.30 am, and 6.30pm
Currently some of the Community gather for morning and evening prayer at Copleston Church, at alternate times to the St Luke's Church location, for 30 minutes, prayer is inspired by Common Worship.
6. Serum - Spirituality injected Conversation - a Dialogue Opportunities for the Spiritual Not Religious
Consider yourself 'Spiritual Not Religious' and interested in a monthly spirituality dialogue group based in Peckham/Camberwell? Why not get in touch by emailing Ian Mobsby.
7. Loving Service to those less fortunate than ourselves
The Community is currently assisting with the Pecan Centre and with Peckham Citizens, and is looking at ways in which it can help further the people in the local community via these projects.

Sailing through the crisis with more than one ship
Corona has made it crystal clear just how important it is to our business to keep adding revenue streams.
It's easy to feel like you've got it all figured out when business is running smoothly in a booming economy. It's when the storm hits - like the corona-crisis - your assumptions and strategies really gets tested.
We've always believed we would be better off in a storm if we had multiple ships in the sea instead of depending on a single, large ferry. Luckily, we work in a field where that is possible and so far, the strategy has proven right for us.
Diversifying our project portfolio
When we founded Lolle & Nielsen Inventions a decade ago, our big bet was SmartMover. But simultaneously, we initiated a bunch of other projects.
Some of them - including SmartMover - proved to be winners which helped our company take off. Others were dead ends.
To this day, this is still how we run our company. We keep initiating new projects while continuing development of the existing ones.
This way, we always have multiple project at different stages. Some provide increasing revenue. Some will never be profitable. But by diversifying into a wide range of project we always have a new project to take over if one fails.
Opportunistic
Especially in the beginning, the diversity was fueled by opportunism: As a new inventing company we had to jump at every opportunity.
Today, we do however still spend a lot of time on cultivating new opportunities to jump at. We continuously work on early-stage projects by contacting universities, speaking with the building industry about their current problems and researching relevant political and societal agendas.
It might not be right for all business to seek new ventures in such an opportunistic way as we do with inventions. But no matter the business, we believe it's always better to have multiple sources of possible income instead of depending on just one.

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore County Council on Monday decided against granting property tax breaks to police officers, firefighters and other public safety workers.
During a public hearing last week, Kach noted that other jurisdictions—including Anne Arundel and Howard counties—have passed similar property tax credits.
"So I see down the road that Baltimore County is going to be at a disadvantage in regard to attracting police, firefighters, correctional officers, volunteers, simply because those counties are giving this property tax break," said Kach, a Cockeysville Republican.
Those eligible for the property tax credit would have included firefighters, emergency medical technicians, correctional officers, police officers and sheriff's deputies employed by the county, as well as volunteer firefighters who accumulate a certain amount of work credits.
Baltimore's spending board on Wednesday authorized a small tax cut for city homeowners that Mayor Catherine Pugh included in her budget proposal for next fiscal year.
At Monday's council meeting, members also approved the appointment of Robert W. O'Connor as acting director of the Office of Information Technology. O'Connor, a longtime county IT employee, will serve as acting director through the end of the term of County Executive Don Mohler in December.
"I'm just honored to represent the agency, and for the next several months, I'll do my best to work with this team, this very strong team," O'Connor said.
O'Connor replaces Rob Stradling, who resigned from the county in May.
