Die Eichen Striesener Straße sind ein als Baumgruppe ausgewiesenes Naturdenkmal (ND 90) in der Johannstadt in Dresden. Die beiden straßenbegleitenden Großfrüchtigen Eichen (Quercus macrocarpa; auch Bur-Eiche oder Klettenfrüchtige Eiche genannt) weisen eine Höhe von etwa 18 Metern und Kronendurchmesser von etwa 15 Metern auf. Die Stammumfänge betragen 2,3 Meter und 2,6 Meter.

Geographie

Die beiden Straßenbäume stehen an der Striesener Straße, die als Verlängerung der Pillnitzer Straße die Innere Altstadt mit Striesen verbindet, auf der südlichen, landwärts rechten Seite, zwischen den Kreuzungen mit der Marschnerstraße und der Hans-Grundig-Straße. In Sichtweite der beiden Eichen stehen 150 bis 200 Meter nordwestlich das Studentenwohnheim Güntzstraße 28/28a und das St. Benno-Gymnasium. Rund 200 Meter südlich dieses Naturdenkmals befindet sich das Naturdenkmal Rosskastanien Marschnerstraße.

Gut 700 Meter nordwestlich des Naturdenkmals stand am Sachsenplatz ebenfalls eine Großfrüchtige bzw. Bur-Eiche, die aufgrund ihrer Wuchsform sehr markant war. Nachdem sie 2013 nicht mehr austrieb und im folgenden Winter abgetragen wurde, gab es dort 2014 eine Ersatzpflanzung.

Geschichte

Bis ins zweite Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts war das Gebiet der heutigen Johannstadt noch wenig erschlossen. Pillnitzer und Striesener Straße waren noch nicht begradigt, viele der Nebenstraßen existierten noch nicht. Im letzten Drittel, insbesondere nach dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg, setzte ein Bau-Boom ein, durch den die Johannstadt verdichtet wurde. Die beiden Großfrüchtigen Eichen sowie die auf der anderen Straßenseite, jedoch nicht zum Naturdenkmal gehörenden Zweifarbigen Eichen (Quercus bicolor) wurden zu dieser Zeit gepflanzt, wahrscheinlich um 1890. Beide Arten sind im Osten Nordamerikas heimisch. Die Bäume sind der "Rest einer sehr seltenen, wertvollen Straßenbaumpflanzung und Zeugnis der Experimentierfreude sowie der tabufreien, aber trotzdem fachlich sehr qualitätsvollen Arbeitsweise früherer Stadtgärtner."

Im Jahr 1999 erfolgte seitens des Dresdner Stadtrats die Unterschutzstellung der beiden Eichen an der Südseite der Striesener Straße als Naturdenkmal zur Sicherung und Erhaltung der Bäume und deren unmittelbar angrenzenden Umgebung wegen der Seltenheit dieser Eichenart, ihrer besonderen Ausprägung und Eigenart, sowie aus gehölzkundlichen Gründen. Der Schutzstatus erstreckt sich auf den gesamten Kronentraufbereich zuzüglich 3 Metern im Umkreis, mindestens jedoch 11 Meter vom Stamm. Die Unterschutzstellung der beiden auf der nördlichen Straßenseite stehenden Zweifarbigen Eichen "scheitert an einer Planung, die Häuser, Straßenbahn und eine Fahrbahnveränderung vorsieht."

The International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague says there is "a reasonable basis" to consider war crimes committed in Afghanistan, but will not investigate because "would not serve the interests of justice". The court's chief prosecutor asked for a formal investigation into alleged war crimes committed by the Taliban, the Haqqani network, Afghan forces, the US military, and the CIA - in the latter case, running black sites to torture terror suspects. But the US never ratified the ICC's Rome Statute, meaning any judicial proceedings were unlikely to lead to the arrest of CIA officers or US military personnel. The Taliban killed as many as 17,000 civilians in attacks on mosques, schools, and hospitals.
The head of Sudan's military has stepped down, as day after leading a coup that toppled president Omar al-Bashir after three decades of rule. Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf announced his decision after protesters who opposed al-Bashir refused to leave the streets, saying the military was too close to the fallen despot. The US and Western nations are rejecting the military's three month state of emergency and democratic elections in two years, saying the polling and civilian rule must come much sooner.
The Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo is not a global emergency, yet. The UN World Health Agency (WHO) says the second biggest in history - infecting 1,206 people and killing 764 - shows no sign of being contained anytime soon. Efforts by healthcare workers are being helped by better preparation and new treatments, but hindered by rebel attacks and a "rising number of security incidents". Although they've got the killer virus contained to two provinces, cases have been increasing in recent weeks and the WHO says the risk of the virus spreading to neighboring countries is "very high".
An ex-soldier in Slovakia has confessed to the double murder of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee last year. The case caused outrage and political change in the country, breaking the grip of far-right populism on at least one corner of eastern Europe with the election of center-Left politician Zuzana Caputova as president. Kuciak had been investigating alleged ties between Slovak businessmen and an Italian mafia clan.

Israeli scientists are determining the cause of a "technical glitch" that caused the main engine on the Beresheet Lunar Probe to shut down, and in turn cause the spacecraft to crash onto the Moon instead of making the planned soft landing. Engineers have not yet identified the faulty component. The joint project of SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) was the first privately funded probe to attempt a soft landing on the Moon.

Keller orders APD to develop untested rape kit backlog plan
Saying that the previous administration didn't care about eliminating a massive backlog of untested rape kits in the city, Mayor Tim Keller on Wednesday ordered the Albuquerque Police Department to develop a plan to get approximately 4,000 untested kits processed.
That plan has to include the resources that would be needed to test those kits and the cost of doing so. And the plan has to be on Keller's desk by March 15 so he can include any funding requests in his budget, which goes to the City Council in the spring.
"This is something we cannot let stand any longer in our city," Keller said as he announced an executive order requiring APD to work with the Albuquerque Sexual Assault Evidence Response Team (ASERT) to develop a plan to get those untested rape kits processed. "We need to actually finish the job," Keller said.
Keller said the previous administration didn't seem interested in eliminating the backlog of untested rape kits in the city. He described their efforts on the issue as "sluggish" and suggested that they were making excuses for not eliminating the backlog. He said the biggest difference between his administration's approach to the backlog is "Owning the problem. No excuses."
As state auditor, Keller highlighted the backlog of untested kits throughout the state. In December 2016, his office released an audit that found there were 5,440 untested kits throughout the state. Seventy-five percent of those were in Albuquerque.
Keller said Wednesday that Gov. Susana Martinez's administration has attacked the problem and developed a plan to have the kits outside of Albuquerque tested by the end of this year. But no such plan exists in Albuquerque even though last year APD received a $2.5 million grant from the federal government to test the kits.
Some of those untested kits are more than 10 years old, but it's important to get them processed because the DNA they yield is put into an FBI data base. And in other cities, those DNA entries have let to convictions of rapists, Keller said.
It's estimated that one in four women, and one in 20 men have been victims of sexual assault, Keller said, adding that 65 percent of sexual assault victims are minors.
Keller added that it'll cost around $4 million to eliminate Albuquerque's backlog. It takes about 40 hours and between $600 to $1,000 to test a single kit, advocates for rape victims said.

Vinicius: How Real Madrid's other Brazilians have fared
With Vinicius becoming the 26th Brazil-born player to pull on the Real Madrid shirt, we look at how the 25 before him have got on at the club.
M.A. del Pozo@AS_MadelPozo
Update: 22 July 2018 14:57 EDT
Vinicius Junior - "Brazil's great white hope for the future," says Ronaldo Nazário - was signed by Real Madrid for 45m euros while still just 17. The jewel in the crown at Flamengo, time will tell whether he fulfils his promise and whether we really are witnessing the beginnings of a player set to go down in history.
It also remains to be seen whether the forward will make an immediate first-team impact, or initially spend more time in the relatively pressure-free surroundings of the club's 'B' team. Either way, his arrival has sparked great excitement among a Real fanbase still getting over the summer departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Vinicius becomes Real Madrid's 26th Brazil-born player
Vinicius becomes the 26th Brazil-born player to pull on the white shirt. Of the 25 who have gone before him, many have occupied one extreme or the other: they have either earned rave reviews or been panned; shone brightly or flopped; become fan favourites or left via the backdoor.
Vinicius poses at his Real Madrid unveiling on Friday. JESUS ALVAREZ ORIHUELA (DIARIO AS)
This is the story of Real Madrid's Brazilians:
Fernando Rubens Pasi Giudicelli (1935-36)
He played just one game for Real Madrid: a 4-2 LaLiga defeat to Racing Santander in the 1935/36 season, a campaign in which Los Blancos finished second in the league and lifted the Copa. After leaving Real, the midfielder moved to France.
Didí (1959-60)
In the wake of his excellent showing at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, where he was player of the tournament, Didí arrived at a Real who were dominant in Europe and led by the great Alfredo di Stéfano. However, he failed to settle. According to accounts of his brief spell at the club, he is said to have been "always cold", while his lack of defensive work ethic meant he did not fit the style of play of his new side.
In total, he made 19 appearances for Real, all in LaLiga (which that year was won by Helenio Herrera's Barcelona), scoring six goals. He was never picked for a European Cup match, and was ineligible for the Copa del Generalísimo as foreign players were banned from the competition at the time.
Canario (1959-62)
Signed at the same time as Didí, Darcy Silveira dos Santos did adapt well to life at Real, spending three seasons at the club and winning two league titles, one European Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. Los Merengues also lifted the Copa once during his time in Spain but, like Didí, he was unable to play in the domestic cup.
Evaristo (1962-65)
Bought from Barcelona, where he had won two LaLigas, two Fairs Cups and one Copa, he played for Real Madrid for two full seasons, helping the capital club to the league title in both campaigns. He then departed for Flamengo, where he retired in 1967. He didn't get many opportunities for Brazil, but did manage to set a Canarinha record: in 1957, he hit five goals against Colombia to become the national team's highest scorer in a single match.
Ricardo Rocha (1991-93)
Signed from Sao Paulo, the central defender was at Real Madrid for two seasons and will always be remembered for his involvement in the two consecutive league championships thrown away by Los Blancos in final-day games away to Tenerife - particularly the first, which saw him score an own goal to complete the hosts' comeback from 2-0 down to 2-2. In 1993, he was sold to Santos, and a year later was part of the Brazil squad that lifted the World Cup in the USA.
Vitor (1993-94)
Vitor arrived at Real Madrid earmarked as the 'new Cafú', but left just a year later branded as one of the club's worst ever signings. In all, he appeared just three times in the white shirt. After his brief spell at the Bernabéu, he returned to Brazil and would go on to cross paths with his former employers, featuring for the Vasco da Gama side that lost 2-1 to Real in the 1998 Intercontinental Cup - a game best remembered for a wonderful solo goal by Raúl González Blanco.
Roberto Carlos, seen here with fellow Real legend Zinedine Zidane, went down in the club's history in 11 years at the Bernabéu. Eurosport
Roberto Carlos (1996-2007)
Real Madrid's first truly legendary Brazilian. He made Real's left-back position his own for 11 years, racking up 526 games for the Madrid giants - and plundering 69 goals - on the way to amassing an extraordinary medal collection: four LaLiga titles, three European Cups, two Intercontinental Cups, one Uefa Super Cup and three Spanish Super Cups.
Zé Roberto (1996-98)
He was brought to Real Madrid midway through the 1996/97 season at the express request of then-head coach Fabio Capello, but found his opportunities limited by Roberto Carlos' presence in the squad. After two years at the Bernabéu, he left for Germany with LaLiga, Champions League and Spanish Super Cup winners' medals to his name.
Savio Bortolini (1997-2002)
Injuries initially made it difficult for Savio to establish himself, but he did finally settle and, in 160 games for Real Madrid, he helped the team to three Champions Leagues, one LaLiga, one Intercontinental Cup and one Spanish Super Cup. Zinedine Zidane's arrival in 2001 then relegated him to a fringe role. Following stints at a few other clubs in Spain (Real Zaragoza, Levante, Real Sociedad), he retired in Brazil after a spell in Cyprus.
Rodrigo Fabri (1998-99)
Rodrigo Fabri never made his competitive debut for Real Madrid, only appearing in friendlies and failing to meet the expectations that had surrounded him when he was bought by the club. He did get more opportunities at Real Valladolid and Atlético Madrid, who were the other teams he played for in Spain following his departure from the Bernabéu.
Julio César (1999-2002)
The centre-back, who was signed from Valladolid, played his part in the side's Champions League-winning campaign in 1999/2000, featuring in the group stage and in the semi-final against Bayern Munich. However, he never truly succeeded in holding down a first-team spot, making just 33 appearances in all. He had something of a globe-trotting career after leaving Los Merengues, retiring in Major League Soccer in 2013.
Flávio Conceição (2000-03)
His great season in Deportivo La Coruña's league title-winning campaign in 1999/2000 led Real, with Florentino Pérez recently installed as president, to pay 27m euros for him. Injuries blighted his first two years at the club, but he played more in his third term in the capital, and left with a total of 74 appearances to his name, having won two LaLigas, one Champions League, one Uefa Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup.
Ronaldo (2002-07)
Without a doubt one of the finest strikers in Real Madrid's history. A cornerstone of the 'Galácticos', he arrived from Inter Milan and went on to play 177 games for Los Blancos, netting 104 times. At the Bernabéu, he won two LaLigas, one Spanish Super Cup, one Uefa Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup, one Ballon d'Or, and one Uefa player of the year award. The only black mark on his time at the club was the side's failure to win the Champions League. After five seasons, he returned to Italy to sign for AC Milan.
Cicinho (2005-07)
Another Brazilian right-back who proved to be a failure at Real. He has recently admitted that he struggled to settle in Madrid, with his off-the-field lifestyle - "I would drink until I could no longer stand" - impeding his chances of success. After 32 appearances and one league title for Real, he joined Roma.
Julio Baptista (2005-08)
After shining for Sevilla, 'the Beast' was snapped up by Real Madrid, where he is remembered for acrobatic efforts against Real Betis and arch rivals Barcelona. He didn't get the rub of the green in his first season at the club and was loaned out to Premier League side Arsenal, before returning to the Bernabéu and helping Real to win the 2007/08 Spanish championship. Overall, he featured 77 times for Los Merengues, before - like Cicinho - moving to Roma.
Robinho (2005-09)
His wonderful Real Madrid debut away to Cádiz proved to be his most memorable contribution in his time at the club, where he ultimately had an up-and-down career and never completely won over the fans. After 137 games, 32 goals, two LaLiga titles and one Spanish Super Cup, he left the club in controversial circumstances in 2008.

Marcelo (2006-)
Marcelo arrived halfway through the 2006/07 season and, despite almost being sent out on loan, his commitment and determination saw him hold onto his place in the first-team squad. A decade on, he is now one of the club captains and is a key figure in the Real dressing room. His charisma and quality have made him a firm fan favourite. He has so far amassed 450 appearances and a trophy collection up there with the very best: four LaLiga titles, four Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups, three Uefa Super Cups, three Spanish Super Cups and two Copas del Rey.
Emerson (2006-07)
A holding midfielder who brought the kind of steel to the engine room that is particularly ejoyed by Capello, who at the time was in his second spell in the Real dugout. The supporters never fully took to him and, having added a LaLiga championship to his medal collection, he left just one season after being bought from Juventus, signing for AC Milan.
Pepe (2007-17)
Brazilian by birth but Portuguese by nationality, the defender was purchased for a 30m-euro fee which, at the time, seemed to be a risk. However, in his 10 seasons at the heart of Los Blancos' defence, he more than justified his price tag. A figure loved by Real's supporters - if less popular among rival fans - he made 334 appearances for the club and helped the team to win three LaLigas, three Champions Leagues, two Club World Cups, two Uefa Super Cups and two Spanish Super Cups.
Kaká (2009-13)
He was one of the world's top players when he arrived at Real Madrid, but never lived up to that billing in the white shirt, utterly failing to reproduce the form he had shown for AC Milan. After four years in Spain in which neither Manuel Pellegrini nor José Mourinho was able to get the best out of him, he rejoined the Rossoneri.
Fabinho (2012-13)
Signed for the Castilla squad, he played just once for the first team before going on to Monaco, where his displays earned him a big-money move to Liverpool this summer.
Casemiro (2012-)
Casemiro is establishing himself (if he hasn't already) as one of the great anchormen in Real Madrid's history. After being brought to the club from Sao Paulo, he was loaned to Porto in 2014 and, following his return from that year-long spell in Portugal, has become a vital defensive presence in Real's midfield. After 151 competitive games for the club, his medal collection already boasts four Champions Leagues, one LaLiga, one Copa, two Uefa Super Cups, one Spanish Super Cup and two Club World Cups.
Willian José (2013-14)
Like Fabinho, he was bought for the 'B' team, only appearing for a few minutes for the seniors in a game against Celta Vigo. Since leaving in search of first-team football, he has followed up spells at Las Palmas and Zaragoza by establishing himself as a regular for Real Sociedad.
Lucas Silva (2014-)
One of the great Brazilian flops of recent times at Real Madrid. His failure to settle saw him forced to look elsewhere for game time, with loan moves first to Marseille and then to Cruzeiro, the club who had originally sold him to Real. His progress was also hampered by a heart problem. He is to remain on loan at Cruzeiro until the end of June 2019.
Danilo (2015-17)
The latest player to fall victim to the apparent curse on Brazilian right-backs at Real. Although he picked up a decent haul of medals at the Bernabéu - two Champions Leagues, one LaLiga, one Club World Cup and one Uefa Super Cup - he struggled to make an impact and in summer 2017 departed after just two seasons, joining Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Races of Infant Industry Protection and Government Sponsored R&D Programs in Lead Markets - Implications for (Capital) Goods' Durability and Trade Policy
25 Pages Posted: 9 Sep 2013

Infant industries have come to be associated with behind the frontier technologies in developing countries. This paper takes a fresh look at the infant industry problem and in the more contemporary perspective of developed-emerging economy competition in lead markets such as for example the global solar panel industry.
The paper offers a simple dynamic model with learning to think about the problems of finding better mechanisms for global governance in these important industries. It is discussed how not only learning but also a myriad of other issues pertinent to the economic welfare inquiry is at stake such as the impact that durability (quality) of goods has on our consumption possibilities and the environment through turnover rates (waste management) and more ordinary externalities such as emission rates.
Different policy scenarios (tariffs, ordinary subsidies, R&D subsidies and Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) such as standards affecting demand for innovation or learning) are considered under two different trading regimes. First one where all firms learn symmetrically in cost and the notion of national preference is purely idiosyncratic. Then one where learning paths and national preference partly could be conforming to national culture and institutions which may be fundamental determinants of our preference for things that endure.
The best policy when preference is informative from a global governance perspective is either by targeting the supply side to make producers switch their learning priorities via standards for engaging in R&D programs. Or by targeting the demand side giving incentives that make consumers align their behavior with the most rational consumption choice once including the dimension of durability. However, the latter policy can only affect the intervening country's own consumer welfare, whereas the former policy enhances everyone's welfare.
Hence the paper demonstrates that NTBs or standards can be welfare improving in ways that ordinary instruments such as tariffs and subsidies cannot. We can therefore not always think about standards as equivalent in form to tariffs. There is a need to open the black box on institutions and NTBs to really appreciate their good and bad aspects for international trade.

Environmental groups lock arms outside TVA meeting to protest lack of ability to address board
November 10, 2021 | by Dave Flessner | Copyright © 2022
This story was updated Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021, at 8:09 p.m. with more information.
Environmental groups upset that the Tennessee Valley Authority isn't doing more to listen to public concerns and criticisms locked arms outside of a TVA board meeting Wednesday to protest what they claim is TVA locking them out of public meetings.
During the coronavirus pandemic, TVA has not conducted any public listening sessions at its board meetings in over a year and met again Wednesday without allowing the public to directly address the TVA board.
Although TVA receives written comments and questions that are presented to TVA board members, critics complain that they are not able to speak directly to TVA directors in a public forum as they did before the pandemic, even in a virtual online session similar to what many other governments have done.
"Public input is critical right now, while TVA is considering building new, large fossil gas power plants and pipelines, even though they would be contrary to our need to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030," said Brady Watson, civic engagement coordinator for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE), one of the environmental groups objecting to the way TVA is conducting its public meetings.
"TVA's current leadership is locking us out of decisions impacting our future, so we're locking arms outside of TVA towers in downtown Knoxville," Watson said.
About 30 representatives from the Sierra Club, the Center for Biodiversity, Appalachian Voices, SACE and SunRise chapters in Knoxville and Nashville demonstrated outside of the TVA towers on Wednesday for about an hour before taking what the groups said were written messages from nearly 4,000 people urging more public input and greener policies by TVA. The symbolic protest outside of the TVA towers didn't prevent the board meeting inside from happening.
TVA Chairman Bill Kilbride said utility directors, who are appointed by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, carefully consider the public input they get from written comments and public hearings in making decisions they deem to be in the best interests of the Tennessee Valley. By allowing written comments, more people are sending messages to the board than in the previous public listening meetings, including a record of more than 2,000 comments before Wednesday's board meeting.
Kilbride said he hopes the TVA board will be able to restore its public listening sessions by the next board meeting in February along with the written comments.
"I think I speak for the whole board of directors when I say we are anxious to get back to holding these meetings in person with public attendance," Kilbride said.
But the protesters want TVA to conduct virtual public listening sessions immediately and invest more in clean energy to limit emissions of greenhouse gases.
"It is imperative that the Tennessee Valley Authority transitions away from fossil fuels completely by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of climate change," said Amy Kelly, a seventh-generation Tennessean from Kingsport who heads the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign in Tennessee. "We know that the planet is burning, yet TVA board members are planning to replace coal-burning plants with another fossil fuel — natural gas — all while making decisions without the consent of TVA customers across the Southeast."
TVA's diverse portfolio
TVA, which says it has maintained 99.999% reliable power delivery for more than two decades, touts its diverse energy portfolio for providing both reliable and below-average cost electricity. TVA reduced its average cost of delivered power by 1.5% in fiscal 2021. Among the 100 largest U.S. utilities, TVA ranks as having the 21st lowest utility rates for residential customers and the fifth-lowest utility for its industrial rates.
TVA is considering ways to replace the power it will lose when it shuts down the 2,250-megawatt Cumberland Fossil Plant in Middle Tennessee — its biggest coal plant — and the 1,450-megawatt Kingston Fossil Plant in East Tennessee. TVA is conducting an environmental assessment and study of either using natural gas or solar power to help replace at least some of the lost coal generation.
On Wednesday, the TVA board voted unanimously to delegate authority to TVA President Jeff Lyash to take project development actions and make final decisions about future uses at the plant. Lyash said TVA is still considering its energy options at Cumberland and Kingston and any new source of power will require the board's endorsements, although he will not necessarily have to wait for a formal board vote at one of the board's four public meetings a year.
Environmentalists at Wednesday's demonstration questioned why the current TVA board, which includes two appointees by former President Trump who are about to leave the board, authorized Lyash to move ahead rather than wait for a full new board to take office next year.
"Shifting these major decisions from the U.S. Senate-approved board nominees to TVA's CEO comes at a time of continued delays in the confirmation process for President Biden's four new TVA board nominees and the board's action today appears to effectively preempt the voting power of the incoming board nominees," Watson said.
Pouring on the gas
TVA is already in the process of installing natural gas generators at other abandoned coal plants, including the Paradise plant in Kentucky, the Colbert plant in Alabama and the Allen plant in Memphis.
TVA, which operates the oldest coal fleet in the country, is planning to phase out the last of the 59 coal-fired generating units it once operated by 2035 by shifting more to nuclear power, natural gas and renewable power from solar and wind generators. TVA has already cut its carbon emissions by 63% below its 2005 levels — nearly twice the industry average for all U.S. utilities — and has set a goal of reducing its carbon emissions at least 80% by 2035 and to be totally carbon-free by 2050.
Lyash said the federal utility is looking for ways to cost-effectively make further reductions in its greenhouse emissions that scientists say contribute to global warming.
TVA has about 2,700 megawatts of additional solar generation in the pipeline or being built and has set a goal of 10,000 megawatts of solar generation by 2035.
"That [solar] produces energy so coal can produce less of our electricity, but you still have to look at other attributes like the capacity of our system," Lyash said in an interview last week with the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Lyash said there are limits to going to all solar or distributed energy.
What happens when you have a week's worth of cloudy rain and snow if you are relying upon solar?" he asked. "How do you power the electric arc furnaces at Nucor [in Decatur, Alabama] or Ford's new Blue Oval city [being built near Memphis]?"
Lyash said TVA can use higher-efficiency gas units and cut its carbon output compared with the older gas units and coal plants being replaced. But he said until better battery or other power storage is developed, natural gas is needed as a bridge power source that can quickly be added to the system to meet peak demands.

Marcus Rashford partners with Burberry for his FIRST fashion campaign after the brand championed his free school meals initiative
Burberry is endeavouring to support UK youth organisations in Manchester, London and charities with a global reach
The brand will provide donations to FareShare, which will fund over 200,000 meals distributed across 11,000 charities and community groups
The move comes after Rashford was praised for his efforts to provide free school meals during Sunday evening's Pride Of Britain Awards
The Manchester United striker was given a Special Recognition Award by Ashley and Jordan Banjo in honour of his ongoing campaign
By Charlotte Dean For Mailonline
Marcus Rashford has partnered with iconic brand Burberry for his first ever fashion campaign after being attracted by their vision to help youth centres.
The footballer, 23, who has been thrown into the spotlight in recent months following his campaign for children's free school meals, has once again shown his passion for supporting underprivileged kids by joining forces with Burberry.
Championing Marcus' ongoing efforts to end child food poverty, Burberry is endeavouring to support UK youth organisations in Manchester, London and charities with a global reach.
Joining forces: Marcus Rashford has partnered with iconic brand Burberry for his first ever fashion campaign after being attracted by their vision to help youth centres
Despite his humble reasoning for working with Burberry, Marcus looked every inch the high fashion model as he showcased a range of looks in the new campaign.
Marcus wowed in a padded jacket in the brand's iconic tartan print, which he wore over a sleek cream mac, another staple of the popular fashion house.

He kept the look smart with a crisp white shirt and checked tie, which were styled with a pair of suit trousers and a pair of smart brown shoes.
In another shot, the Manchester United forward cut a dapper figure in a sharp blue suit styled with a pale blue shirt and dark tie, further accessorised with a small tan satchel.

Discussing his decision to work with the brand, he said: 'Burberry is THE British brand with strong ties to the North of England, which is really important to me.
'It is very rare that I partner in a formal capacity, but what Burberry was offering was different. Burberry shared my vision in bettering local communities through investment into youth centres, which play a pivotal role in the childhood of many, especially in under-privileged areas.

'We are all products of our community and youth centres offer children in those local communities stability and consistency to succeed at anything they put their minds to.
'Youth centres have suffered financially due to the global pandemic and closing them is losing the heart of the community.
'Burberry have led with action rather than words and the impact of this move will be felt for generations to come.
Dapper: Marcus wowed in a padded jacket in the brand's iconic tartan print, which he wore over a sleek cream mac, another staple of the popular fashion house
'I'm thrilled with the outcome and proud to call Burberry my partner. Thank you to Riccardo and the full team for making this process so rewarding and enjoyable.
The British heritage brand will provide donations to FareShare, which will fund over 200,000 meals distributed across 11,000 charities and community groups across the UK.
Programmes targeted by Burberry vary from educational to supporting young creatives and artists, and helping entrepreneurs to tackle some of the world's significant challenges.
Global power: Championing Marcus' ongoing efforts to end child food poverty, Burberry is endeavouring to support UK youth organisations in Manchester, London and charities with a global reach
In the English capital Burberry is working with London Youth, which supports a network of more than 600 community youth organisations and creates thousands of opportunities for young people each year.
Fifteen youth centres jointly selected by Burberry and London Youth will receive grants to ensure their programmes can continue to make a positive impact in some of the city's most deprived communities.
In Manchester, the brand pays tribute to Rashford by supporting Norbrook Youth Club and Woodhouse Park Lifestyle Centre, which are both youth centres that played a pivotal role in the footballer's childhood.
Good work: The British heritage brand will provide donations to FareShare, which will fund over 200,000 meals distributed across 11,000 charities and community groups across the UK
Youth volunteers from the two clubs will be coming together as part of the partnership to help charities in the Wythenshawe area of south Manchester, where the clubs are based and Rashford grew up.
Alongside these youth centres, Burberry is contributing to Wide Rainbow, a non-profit based organisation in New York City providing access to the arts and arts education in neighbourhoods across the United States with limited resources.
The donation will provide art supplies, food deliveries and music education to young people in these communities as well as fund the creation of art murals to invigorate schools and shelters on America's east and west coast, in New York and Los Angeles.

Opportunities: In the English capital Burberry is working with London Youth, which supports a network of more than 600 community youth organisations and creates thousands of opportunities for young people each year
To further the international reach of this work, Burberry is also partnering with the International Youth Foundation to contribute to the Global Youth Resiliency Fund.
This will enable young entrepreneurs and community leaders, specifically in Asia, to develop solutions to challenges including closing nutrition gaps and unlocking access to livelihoods.
The move comes after Rashford was praised for his efforts to provide free school meals to vulnerable children throughout the pandemic during Sunday evening's Pride Of Britain Awards.
The Government's recent decision to vote against extending free school meals during the school holidays was met by staunch defiance from Rashford, who vowed to continue pushing for change.
The footballer was surprising fellow award winner Emmie Narayan-Nicholas in Manchester, who battled leukaemia and started providing food for parents living at their sick children's bedsides - when he was given a Special Recognition Award by Ashley and Jordan Banjo.

Current Service Chiefs More Mentally Prepared To End Boko Haram Insurgency – Security Expert
kwararafareporters Send an email January 16, 2021
The efforts of the Service Chiefs at ending insurgency in Nigeria have been commended by Philip Agbese, a Middlesex University London trained human rights lawyer and security expert.
Phillip Agbese who is also the President of the pan-Nigerian group, Nigeria First, spoke with select journalists on the sidelines of the occasion of the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebrations in Lagos. He stated that Nigeria has indeed made substantial progress in the prosecution of the war against insurgency in the country and contributed immensely to the global war against terrorism .
" The 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day is indeed a time to reflect on the sacrifices of our soldiers in preserving the territorial integrity of the country, and there is no doubt that the Boko Haram insurgency has indeed brought to bear the invaluable role of the Armed Forces in keeping Nigeria safe and secured for all. "
He further added that Nigeria had made substantial progress with the present crop of Service Chiefs' efforts in the country.
"The efforts of the present Service Chiefs have been outstanding so far, and this is largely responsible for the numerous gains that have been recorded in the prosecution of the war against insurgency in the country."
"I would like to mention that the Nigerian Army, which is at the forefront of the war against the Boko Haram insurgency, has displayed a great commitment which must be acknowledged by all well-meaning Nigerians."
The President, Nigeria First also noted that competence, character, credibility, and confidence remain the game-changer in the war against insurgency.
"We must admit that there was a time where the Boko Haram insurgents ran riot and took over local government areas in parts of North-East Nigeria. That was also a period where the leadership of the Armed Forces was at its lowest."
"That there is a turnaround in the fortunes of the country is not by accident, but rather a function of sound leadership provided and the Nigerian Army comes to focus under Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai who led by example in addressing the threats posed by the Boko Haram insurgents."
"Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai has no doubt redefined the rules of engagement through measures that emphasized competence, strength of character and confidence that indeed boosted the morale of the troops in the prosecution of the war against Boko Haram insurgency in the country."
"As we all know, there is no Nigerian territory that is under the control of the Boko Haram insurgents, and we are all witness to the fact that the activities of the group have been restricted to the fringes of the Lake Chad Basin region."
When asked if there is a need to rejig the operational strategy towards ending the Boko Haram war in the country, he stated that current Service Chiefs are mentally prepared to end Boko Haram insurgency.
"For those of us in the security sector, we have followed with keen interest the operational strategies deployed by the Armed Forces and I dare say, it is top-notch and yielding the desired results. If this is not the case, I am sure the Boko Haram insurgents would have run over Nigeria going by the sophistication of their operations and the numerous external support they have been receiving locally and internationally."
"This is a function of leadership. Like I mentioned earlier, the Chief of Army Staff has indeed distinguished himself in this regard. His strength of character is infectious, and the confidence with which the Nigerian troops display in battle is also worthy of commendation.
He further added that if the current tempo is sustained, the war against Boko Haram insurgency would be a thing of the past by December 2021.
"I am of the considered opinion that the mental preparedness of the present crop of Service Chiefs in leading the war against insurgency is excellent. We should do well to analyze issues objectively. And not until we do that we would still be carried away by the mischievous narrative and propaganda been peddled by associates of the Boko Haram insurgents under various nomenclatures in the country."
"We must also have at the back of our minds that there are conspiracies against the efforts of the Armed Forces and despite this fact, successes have been recorded in ways too numerous to mention."
He advised Nigerians to extend their support to the Service Chiefs' efforts in the final push for the decimation of the remnants of the Boko Haram insurgents.
"We all have a role to play. We cannot afford to continue to join the bandwagon of those mischief makers against the country's interest. We must extend our support and see to the end of the Boko Haram insurgents in the country. As for the Service Chiefs' mental preparedness, I say that they are more than prepared in this regard and the end of Boko Haram Insurgency might be in sight. This is what Nigeria needs at this critical point of our existence."
It would be recalled that in some quarters they have been widespread criticism of the commitment and efforts of the Service Chief towards ending the Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

Q: Isekai about a small girl with glasses who was transported to another world and has a skill named "print" About one year ago I saw this manga about a girl who has a skill named "print" and can make grimoires, and basically made a comiket but only magical books and sometimes books about other gods. She is petite with black hair and glasses and has pulled an Excalibur-like sword that she used for cutting the sides of books. She has a sidekick, not really a sidekick but a co-worker, that I think is a bear (I don't know for sure if it was a bear) and she has another coworker that is a girl and who cuts the edges of books with her axe or sword. She does an event where many people go to a reverse pyramid place that sells many books about magic. She is trying to find her way back to her world.

A: This is likely A Witch's Printing Office.

Mika Kamiya is a young woman who is a "magic printer" - that is, she helps to create grimoirs and other mystic books which witches and wizards can use. However, she cannot use any magic herself. Desperate to find a spell which can send her back to her home world, Mika decides to create a COMpetely magIcal marKET, where magicians can trade and show off their creations.

When the original Rex Trueform building was erected in 1938 in Salt River as one of the leading manufacturing factories in Cape Town, its modernist style stood out among the neoclassical buildings of the time in the city. In our new series, Structure and Culture, we chat to leading African architects about buildings they consider significant; we explore how these structures shape and influence human interactions, perceptions and behaviours.
Ilze Wolff, director at Wolff Architects, is the award-winning author of Unstitching Rex Trueform: the story of an African factory, a study following "the narrative of the site from the date of completion of the first factory in 1938 up until conversion of the site into an office park in 2013". The site is Rex Trueform, a building that was constructed over 80 years ago as manufacturing factory in Cape Town. A decade after its erection, as the company grew, another building was added to the factory. Incorporated in the building plans for both, were segregation policies that were yet to be made into law by the apartheid regime that would come to define South African life in the second half of the 20th Century.
