It is one of Scotland's biggest tourist attractions and home to the only giant pandas in the UK – but the word on the street is Edinburgh Zoo could be in trouble for a publicity stunt.
Bosses at the zoo have been slammed after they decided to spray-paint a series of adverts on pavements around the city in a bid to drum up business.
And the attraction has admitted it did not get permission to place the adverts, which have irritated local businesses, and is likely to face the cost of having them removed by a high-pressure hose.
The 2ft by 2ft bright orange stencils were sprayed on pavements in areas of Edinburgh to try to attract visitors to the zoo's new Meerkat enclosure.
But the zoo's attempt to use pavements for free advertising backfired as businesses and politicians lined up to criticise the institution.
Donna Hand, owner of Rest Now Cafe, in Leith, just yards from one of the zoo ads, said: "Who pays the bill when the council have to come and clean that? It's the taxpayers.
Another shop owner, who asked not to be named, complained: "If that was a little shop we would be hit with a fine from the council for graffiti-ing as well as advertising without permission.
Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: "I can't believe the zoo thought it would get away with a 'gorilla' advertising campaign like this.
City officials have also rapped the zoo over the knuckles, saying the appearance of the city's streets had to be protected.
A council spokeswoman said: "The council doesn't encourage commercial advertising of this nature in order to protect the appearance of our streets across the city.
An Edinburgh Zoo spokeswoman insisted the stencils were temporary and could be washed off with "a high-pressure hose".
The Zoo is likely to see large crowds over Easter with renewed interest in the Giant Panda pair Tian Tian and Yang Guang as they prepare to try for a cub.
Experts recently confirmed that Tian Tian's hormones indicated she was almost ready to mate, and Panda behaviour expert, Professor Wang Chengdong, from the China Conservation and Research Centre for Giant Pandas (CCRCGP), flew into the city on Friday in order to assist local staff.


"Tourism is overarching and cuts across many sectors. We need to work together with various government departments, as enablers and influencers of tourism destination competitiveness, to grow and transform our sector and economy," said Minister Xasa.
Minister Xasa met with Minister of Small Business Development, Ms. Lindiwe Zulu, to discuss how they will work together to advance the tourism sector and Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) within the greater mandate of the NDP.
Minister of Small Business Development, Ms. Lindiwe Zulu, echoed the sentiment in her commitment to working with Tourism and advancing small enterprises.
Minister Xasa will host similar meetings with other Departments in the near future to forge partnerships and collaboration that will streamline the implementation and realisation of the goals set out in the NDP.
"I look forward to engaging with my counterparts in the various departments, focusing on the tourism value chain, and how we can collaborate to create employment opportunities for women and youth, in particular, reduce poverty and inequality," concluded Xasa.


I recently read an excellent article on a concept or set of principles that can be relatively easily applied to our industry. The article was a synopsis of "The Six Principles of Influence" created by Robert Cialdini, Regents' Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University. Cialdini identified the six principles through experimental studies into the world of what he called "compliance professionals". This term was the term he coined to cover salespeople, fund raisers, recruiters, advertisers, marketers, and so on. He identified Compliance Professionals as people skilled in the art of convincing and influencing others.
We innately tend to return favours, pay back debts, and treat others in the same manner as they treat us. This concept is in accordance with the idea of reciprocity. This innate tendency can lead us to feel obliged to offer concessions or discounts to others if they have offered them to us. The underlying agent is our lack of comfort with the feeling of being indebted.
Cialdini says that we also have a deep innate desire to be consistent. For this reason, once we've committed to something, we're tend to be much more inclined to go follow through.
Some examples are, our tendency to work late if others in our workplace are doing the same, put a tip in a jar if it already contains money, or eat in a restaurant if it's busy. Here, we're assuming that if lots of other people are doing something, then it must be OK.
We're particularly susceptible to this principle when we're feeling uncertain about a product or activity. We are also more likely to be influenced if the people we see, seem to be similar to our perception of us. A typical example of this can be found in the advertising of household products. The people who are used in these adverts are normal John and Jane Does. This is because we are more likely to identify with them as opposed to celebrities.
Cialdini says that we're more likely to be influenced by people we like. Likability comes in many forms – people might be similar or familiar to us, they might give us compliments, or we may just simply trust them. This concept really does play to the adage that sales is a people game.
We feel a sense of duty or obligation to people in positions of authority. This is why advertisers of pharmaceutical products employ doctors to front their campaigns, and why most of us will do most things that our manager requests. This is a concept that has been utilised within our profession for many years.
This principle says that things are more attractive when their availability is limited, or when we stand to lose the opportunity to acquire them on favourable terms.
So how can we use these principles in our Profession? Application of them in our consultation process and our Practice marketing is not necessarily difficult. The key is the understanding of each Patient and more importantly, why you want to influence them. Think about the ultimate objective of your consultation, during that consultation decide which principles will be most useful in that particular situation.
So how can we apply these principles to our Practices and within our consultation structure?
Reciprocity is simply the art of give and take, you are well aware of what your objective is. But do you really know what your prospective Patient's objective is? Identifying exactly what their objective is allows you to measure up the concessions you can make in order to acquire concessions from them.
It is important to get Patient's commitment early on in the process. My old trainer spoke often of mini closes, the art of getting people to say yes or agree to small pieces of the consultation. This manner of consultation allows there to be only one question to be answered at the end of the consultation, to move forward or not.
I discussed this with one of my customers today, it is about creating a buzz around your Practice and services. Use plenty of relevant testimonials in your Practice, encourage people to talk about your Practice and your services. Keep your Practice constantly busy with call backs and service work. A busy Practice enforces the perception that it is a good Practice.
We do not have a lot of time to build a solid relationship with someone during a consultation. But we can plant the seeds of a long term relationship at this time. The initial consultation is the most important meeting you have with any Patient. It is imperative that you put in the time and effort to build trust during your consultation. It is then your job to continue to build trust and rapport during your on-going relationship. One of the keys to that is acting with consistency.
It is extremely important to endeavour to develop your emotional intelligence and active listening skills. It is also of great import to remember that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach when it comes to relating to others. It is always good to remember the old adage, "There is nothing queerer than folk".
Again, Authority is something that has always been leveraged in our profession. We are the professionals, we own the skills and learning to do our job. The medical connotations of our profession have always been leveraged to give us authority. Back to my old trainer, you don't take health advice from your friend, you take health advice from your Doctor. You are not their friend and don't attempt to be. More than a few giggles at that, but again, he was right.
You aren't a G.P. or M.D., but that is the type of authority that you aim for, but with a better bedside manner. The perception of you as an authority builds an instant level of trust. Something that you need if you are to plant the early seeds of what you hope is a long and mutually productive commercial relationship. Within your Practice Things like well-produced Practice brochures, professional and sophisticated presentation of decor and design, impressive offices and that old favourite, smart clothing, will also lend authority.
Scarcity is a difficult one to apply within our profession, perhaps urgency is a better concept. By that I mean urgency that is built through offers or campaigns. You run a campaign with a deadline, the deadline builds the urgency. The deployment of this concept has to be well thought out and it is imperative that it is perceived as a natural occurrence as opposed to a pressure sales tactic.
All of these principles fall into the sphere of sales tactics or strategy, I know some feel that this is a dirty concept. But, what would you prefer? A Patient purchase product and service from you, or from some other bloke who is obviously neither as talented, empathetic, caring and as attractive as you?
With that in mind, why would you not endeavour to deploy all tools at your disposal in order to ensure they do business with you?
The Key To A Successful Practice, Your Staff?

'Predatory tactics and lies:' Jennifer Lawrence denies having sex with Harvey Weinstein
In this Sept. 5, 2017, file photo, actress Jennifer Lawrence signs autographs at the premiere of the film "mother!" at the 74th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy. Lawrence says she never slept with Weinstein in response to claims from legal documents.Domenico Stinellis / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lewis Pennock
9:33 AM EST
Jennifer Lawrence has been forced to deny having a sexual relationship with disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein after the claims emerged in court documents.
The Hollywood star, who first came to prominence in The Hunger Games film series, is referred to in a sexual assault lawsuit filed by an anonymous actress in Los Angeles.
The claim, which was filed on Friday, alleges that Weinstein pushed the woman to the ground and forcibly performed oral sex on her after she rejected his advances during a meeting at his office in 2013.
According to the legal documents, Weinstein, 66, asked the claimant, referred to as "Jane Doe", "Do you even want to be an actress?" before adding "I slept with Jennifer Lawrence and look where she is, she has just won an Oscar."
In response Lawrence, 28, who won the best actress Oscar for the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook and is one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, released a statement denying that she had ever slept with Weinstein and accusing the producer of using "predatory tactics" to target women.
Lawrence said: "My heart breaks for all the women who were victimised by Harvey Weinstein. I have never had anything but a professional relationship with him. This is yet another example of the predatory tactics and lies that he engaged in to lure countless women."

The woman who filed the claim is suing both Weinstein and The Weinstein Company, the film studio he founded with his brother Bob, alleging sexual battery and discrimination.
A representative for Weinstein, who has always denied the sexual assault claims, said the lawsuit was meant to "embarrass" the producer. He added: "There is absolutely no truth to the malicious claims made in this lawsuit, and we are reviewing our options with an eye on filing for an immediate dismissal.
"Mr Weinstein is embarrassed for Ms Lawrence, with whom he has only had a professional and respectful relationship, who has sadly been dragged into this ugly attempt at defamation."
It is the latest in a string of allegations of sexual assault against Weinstein since claims by several women, including the actress Rose McGowan, were first published by The New York Times in October 2017.
Dozens of A-listers lined up to criticise the producer following the reports, including Lawrence, who said in November 2017 that she "had heard he was a dog" but that he was "never inappropriate" with her.
Weinstein was fired from The Weinstein Company, which was later shut down, and the accusations have been central in the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment.
The day before the latest lawsuit emerged, it was revealed a group of Weinstein's accusers have tried to stop him making his private emails public.
My heart breaks for all the women who were victimised by Harvey Weinstein
Weinstein asked a bankruptcy court in the US state of Delaware to allow him to recover files, including emails, from The Weinstein Company for his defence against sexual assault charges made in New York.
His accusers from a separate civil case asked a judge to block the release of the material over confidentiality concerns. They allege Weinstein's lawyers told them he "intended to unleash these emails in the media to sway the court of public opinion".
Scott Cousins, Weinstein's civil lawyer, said the women were "doing all they can to prevent the truth from coming out".

/ ONE CHAMPIONSHIP
No pressure for Nakashima as he shoots for gold
posted November 05, 2020 at 11:08 pm by Manila Standard Sports
ONE Championship welterweight top contender James Nakashima does not feel any pressure entering the biggest bout of his career.
The undefeated American will challenge Kiamrian "Brazen" Abbasov for the latter's ONE Welterweight World Title at the previously recorded ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX II, which airs this Friday, 6 November.
Save for the usual pre-match nerves, the 32-year-old's not overthinking the contest that takes place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
"I don't, honestly, feel like this stuff is pressure. I've been quarantined in this hotel room ever since I got to Singapore, but I'm having fun. I'm super, super grateful for this opportunity," Nakashima told ONEFC.com.
"Real pressure is, I feel, growing up with parents that aren't feeding you and you're starving. Real pressure is, during this coronavirus, you lose your job, and you can't afford to eat or feed your family.
"Obviously, there's going to be excitement, and there's going to be nerves [days] before the fight. But I've been doing sports for so long that I just don't look too much into the pressure or the spotlight as being a big deal."
For Nakashima, the pressure comes outside of the Circle – not inside of it.
"The pressure to me is getting up every single day, holding myself as accountable as possible, and making sure I do my spiritual practice first thing when I wake up," he said.
"Spending time with my daughter every day and trying to help her become a whole person. Being good to my girlfriend. That's the pressure, the day-to-day grind.
"All the pressure is off me now."
This match will certainly be the biggest for Nakashima since debuting in 2015, and he's gunning for coronation come Friday.
While the spotlight will be on him if he beats Abbasov, Nakashima says everyone around him is a World Champion, simply because of how much they have helped.
"That belt will be around me, but it's so much more. It's been a giant project with my parents, my family, my gym, and my coaches.
"Nothing in this world with greatness is done alone. It's a lot bigger than me. Obviously, hard work has come along, but the support system for me is what has gotten me to this title fight. Without the support, I would be nothing."
Catch the previously recorded ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX II this Friday, November 6, on One Sports+ at 8:30 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PHT).
One Sports will air the event on a same-day delay at 9 p.m. PHT while TV5 will air the event on a next-day delay at 11 p.m. PHT on Saturday, November 7.
The event will also air on ONE's YouTube channel and the ONE Super App, while the first two bouts will be streamed on ONE's Facebook and Twitter pages.

This page answers commonly asked questions about our liability management programs and processes.
If your question is not answered here, please contact our Customer Contact Centre or email LiabilityManagement@aer.ca.
Question: What are the conditions and benefits of filing a multiwell pad notification?
Answer: A licensee may establish a multiwell pad on an individual surface lease that the licensee has more than one well on. Both the well licences and the surface lease must be held by the same licensee. Establishing a multiwell pad reduces the reclamation liability of the wells located on the pad.
Question: I am the licensee of a well, and there has been a change to one of the working interest participants (WIPs). Can I update this information?
Answer: Yes. However, we only require WIP information during four stages in the life of a well: when it is licensed, transferred, suspended, and abandoned.
The above information will be included in the well file, but our database will not be updated.
Question: How do I create a licence transfer application?
Question: How do I accept a licence transfer application as the second party?
Question: Can I re-enter an abandoned well after it has been transferred?
Answer: In order to re-enter any abandoned well, including one that has just been transferred to you, you must first re-establish your licence eligibility by applying under Directive 056: Energy Development Applications and Schedules. Contact D56Helpline@aer.ca for assistance.
Question: How long does a licence transfer application take to process?
Answer: Licence transfer applications require a minimum of 30 days to move through the standard review process and are subject to longer timelines depending on the complexity of the transfer. Refer to Bulletin 2017-13: Changes to Process for Transfer Application Decisions and our Approval Transfers page for additional information about the licence transfer application process.
Question: Will I receive a notice of approval when my licence transfer application is approved?
Answer: An electronic copy of the approval notification letter will be emailed to both the transferor and transferee contacts listed in the application.
Question: How do I cancel a transfer application that has been submitted to the AER?
By email: Requests must be received from both applicants listed on the transfer application, specifically from the email addresses listed on the application. These requests for withdrawal can be emailed to LiabilityManagement@aer.ca.
Upon receipt of the application withdrawal requests from both parties involved in the transfer, we will process the application as withdrawn and will notify the licensees.
Question: How do I obtain copies of AER licence transfer decisions or a list of all AER licences?
Answer: Please contact our Information Distribution Services by phone (toll-free) at 1-855-297-8311 or by email at InformationRequest@aer.ca.
Question: After an amalgamation, how are the licences transferred to the surviving entity?
Answer: Once we receive notification of an amalgamation, we review and prompt our system to transfer licences from the nonsurviving to the surviving entity. We complete the process by forwarding a corporate profile update request to the surviving entity to be completed for our records.
Question: Why does my company have to pay a security deposit with the AER?
Answer: A licensee must pay a security deposit when its deemed liabilities exceed its deemed assets. Security deposits can be made either in cash or through a letter of credit.
Question: What must my company do to have our security deposit returned?
Answer: Licensees that have a liability management rating (LMR) (which considers deemed assets to deemed liabilities) above 1.0 are eligible for a refund of their security deposit.
Question: How do I request a refund of our security deposit?
Answer: A written refund request must be submitted on company letterhead and contain appropriate contact information. The request must be sent to the attention of the security deposit administrator of our Liability Management Group.
Question: How long does it take to refund a security deposit?
Answer: You should receive your security deposit refund from us within two to three weeks.
Question: How do I know the total amount of security that is held in our name?
Answer: The Royal Bank of Canada provides a monthly account statement to each licensee that has paid a security deposit to us.
Question: We have not received an account statement for a number of months. Who should we notify to correct this?
Answer: Your company will need to call our Finance Branch at 403-297-8790. Licensees may not make changes directly with the bank.
Question: Which financial institutions are eligible to issue letters of credit?
Answer: The Alberta Treasury Board and Finance has developed guidelines for the acceptance of letters of credit (LCs). Under the guidelines, the Treasury Board highly recommends (but does not require) that the financial institution have a physical branch in Alberta. Under AER requirements, the bank issuing the LC must appear in schedule 1, 2, or 3 of the Bank Act of Canada. We will not accept LCs from credit unions in amounts greater than two million dollars.
LCs that do not conform to these requirements will not be accepted.
Question: How can I view our monthly licensee liability rating (LLR) and liability management rating (LMR) assessment?
Answer: LLR and LMR assessments can be viewed by accessing the Digital Data Submission (DDS) system and selecting Subsystem Reports > Liability Rating > View Liability Rating. These assessments can be downloaded.
Question: What conditions do I need to meet in order to receive a 50 per cent reduction in the reclamation liability determined for my abandoned well or facility?
Answer: A licensee may request a 50 per cent reduction in the reclamation liability determined for an abandoned well or facility by the LLR formula if all of the work required to obtain a reclamation certificate has been completed and if the delay in obtaining a reclamation certificate is solely related to the re-establishment of vegetative cover.
Question: What is the formula for calculating the LLR?
Answer: The LLR calculation is provided in appendix 4 of Directive 006: Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) Program and Licence Transfer Process.
Question: Can I view the detailed monthly assessment of another company?
Answer: No. The monthly assessment is only accessible to the licensee.
Question: How often do I need to update the site-specific liability assessment (SSLA) cost estimate?
Answer: An SSLA must be updated every five years (from the last assessment date) unless otherwise required by us (section 9 of Directive 001: Requirements for Site-Specific Liability Assessments in Support of the ERCB's Liability Management Programs). For a designated problem site, the SSLA must be updated at a minimum of every three years. A licensee may update its SSLA more frequently than every five years if conditions warrant an update.
Question: If I consider the liabilities for my sites to be different than those deemed by the AER, what can I do to ensure liabilities are accurately represented?
Answer: A licensee may request the use of site-specific abandonment or reclamation costs rather than the costs determined by us if it believes these more accurately reflect actual abandonment or reclamation costs. These requests are called a licensee liability rating (LLR) parameter variation (refer to appendix 7 of Directive 006: Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) Program and Licence Transfer Process).
We will only consider a variation request when a licensee's liability management rating (LMR) is less than 1.0.
A licensee is required to provide licence-specific data for all parameters, including both deemed asset and deemed liability parameters for all wells and facilities; thus, we require a company to submit an SSLA cost estimate for all of its licensed wells and facilities. The requirements of Directive 001 must be met. Directive 001 explains how to complete an SSLA.
A netback submission is requested for the asset allocation within the LLR variation request. A licensee requesting a variation of its netback must submit a letter requesting the variation, a completed Licensee Netback Calculation Form, and financial information acceptable to the AER supporting its three-year historical netback, shrinkage, or conversion values. If a licensee does not have three years of history, its netback must include the industry average for those years required to make up the three-year period.
Question: My site is almost reclaimed and I am almost ready to apply for a reclamation certificate. How can I reduce the liability for this site?
Answer: A licensee may apply for a 50 per cent reduction in reclamation liability if all of the required work to obtain a reclamation certificate has been completed and the delay in obtaining the reclamation certificate is solely to re-establish vegetative cover (appendix 7, Directive 006). We will consider a request for 50 per cent reclamation reduction by a licensee only when its LMR is below 1.0.
Question: What do I need to submit if my company qualifies for a 50 per cent reduction in reclamation liability?
If approved, the changes in liabilities are valid for one year after the reclamation assessment, after which the licensee must resubmit a request. The licensee must have an LMR below 1.0 to resubmit.
Question: When completing an SSLA cost estimate, can my company include a credit for salvageable equipment?
Answer: Credit for salvageable equipment is not permitted under any of our liability management programs. However, companies can include a credit for shredded metal that will be used as scrap. Please note that we do not accept credit issued by recyclers for reprocessing metal tanks.
Question: What are the transfer requirements for facilities that require SSLAs?
Answer: An SSLA must be submitted to us at the time of a transfer application. The SSLA must be less than three years old and be accompanied by an evaluation of cost changes since the SSLA was last completed. Factors to be considered when updating an existing SSLA include changes in site conditions, unit rates used in estimating costs, and regulatory requirements.
Question: Is an SSLA required for a facility under the Large Facility Liability Management Program (LFP)?
Answer: An SSLA that fully meets Directive 001 is required for facilities in this program. Directive 001 explains how to complete an SSLA.
Question: I just received a licence that has a SSLA obligation under Directive 024: Large Facility Liability Management Program. When is my SSLA cost estimate required?
Answer: Once the licence is issued, the SSLA-deemed liability values are to be entered into our Digital Data Submission (DDS) system.
Question: How often do I need to update the SSLA cost estimate for a licence in the LFP?
a report indicating the nature and timing of an assessment to determine the increase in a facility's estimated liability.
Please note that at any time we may require a licensee to provide an updated liability cost estimate based on an SSLA, per Directive 001 requirements, if we consider it appropriate.
Question: What are the SSLA transfer requirements for facilities in the LFP?
Answer: SSLAs must be submitted to us at the time of a transfer application and must have been completed within the last calendar year.
Question: What are the SSLA requirements for a new oilfield waste management facility?
Answer: Companies applying for a new oilfield waste management facility approval must meet financial security requirements before the approval is issued. Under the Oilfield Waste Liability (OWL) Program, a new oilfield waste management facility (that is not a landfill) must meet the requirements of Directive 075: Oilfield Waste Liability (OWL) Program and Directive 001. Directive 001 explains how to complete an SSLA.
Question: What are the SSLA requirements for a new oilfield waste management facility that is a landfill?
Answer: Companies applying for a new oilfield waste management facility approval for a landfill must pay financial security before the approval is issued. Appendix 1, section 2, of Directive 075 states that landfills held by waste management approval holders that are approved remain subject to our full security requirements. Directive 001 explains how to complete an SSLA.
Question: Can I prepare my own SSLA cost estimate?
Answer: An SSLA cost estimate must be created by appropriately trained and experienced personnel. The assessment must be supervised and then signed and stamped or sealed by the lead assessor who has completed postsecondary education in a directly related discipline; has prior experience estimating site-specific costs for suspension, abandonment, or reclamation; and is a member in good standing of an association regulated by a professions or societies act of Alberta or be certified in Canada to conduct environmental site assessments by an agency that provides a comparable degree of professional accountability. See Directive 001, sections 6.3 and 6.4, for further information.
Question: How do I notify the AER of an update to a site-specific cost estimate for an oilfield waste management facility?
Update the site-specific cost estimates in the DDS system. Ensure that separate costs are provided for suspension, abandonment, decontamination, and surface land reclamation.
Submit a copy of the Directive 075 Facility Liability Declaration Form by email to LiabilityManagement@aer.ca.
Question: When is an SSLA required for an oilfield waste management facility?
Answer: SSLA cost estimates are required for oilfield waste management facilities approved under Directive 058: Oilfield Waste Management Requirements for the Upstream Petroleum Industry.
Question: How often do I need to update the SSLA cost estimate for an oilfield waste management facility?
Answer: Licensees must provide us with an updated SSLA every five years from the date of the last SSLA unless otherwise directed (section 9 of Directive 001).For a designated problem site, the SSLA update is required at a minimum of every three years.
For licences held under the OWL program, a licensee must provide us with an updated SSLA within 60 days of the licensee becoming aware of a cumulative increase in a facility's estimated liability equal to or in excess of either $1 million or 10 per cent of the facility's current liability.
Question: What is required to transfer an oilfield waste management facility with respect to the SSLA and financial security?
SSLA cost estimate completed within the past calendar year, including documentation that clearly itemizes and shows the subtotal for all major tasks, as required under section 5 of Directive 001.
Question: Are deemed assets calculated differently in the OWL program than in the LLR program?
Answer: Yes. A multiplier of 0.5 is used in the facility deemed asset calculation to establish a minimum asset-to-liability ratio of 2.0. An oilfield waste management facility's deemed assets is the sum of the previous 12 months of nonproducer licensee (NPL) volumes multiplied by the AER-approved netback for these volumes, multiplied by 3 years, multiplied by 0.5.
Question: One of my waste management approvals is for a facility that does not have any Petrinex reporting requirements. How will assets for this approval be calculated?
Answer: The asset calculation for a licensee not required to report volumetric data to Petrinex is the same as for a licensee reporting volumes to Petrinex. The only difference is that the licensee reports the volumes directly to us. If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Contact Centre.
Question: If a Phase I ESA finds evidence of contamination, can we estimate liability based upon the Phase I investigation?
Answer: No. Observation alone cannot be used to evaluate the significance of contaminant issues or quantify the effects. A phase II ESA is required.
Question: We recently submitted an SSLA and are now modifying that facility. Do we need to redo the liability assessment?
Answer: A significant change to the facility, such as the addition of a new process unit or a new landfill cell, requires that the SSLA be updated if those changes materially affect the associated liability. When the assessment report is very recent (typically less than one year old), a supplement to that report is sufficient rather than rewriting the report. Modifying the facility typically would require a reassessment of the suspension and abandonment liabilities or, for landfills, the cell closure and long-term monitoring costs.
The need to reassess the liability for decontamination and reclamation after facility modification depends on the effect of construction on the outstanding decontamination and reclamation obligations. If the construction does materially affect (10 per cent or greater of the facility's current liability) the cost of the outstanding decontamination and reclamation obligation, then the liability attributed to those tasks needs to be updated.
Question: Where do I find facility SSLA cost estimates in the DDS system, and where is the expiry date?
Answer: Search in the DDS system under the company BA code and go to AER > Reports > Liability Rating > View Liability Rating. Views and searches of all properties licensed to the company can be accessed. Click on the facilities tab; there will be a list of facilities with licence numbers. For each facility, cost estimates can be viewed by clicking on the view button at the far right-hand side of the screen, which will indicate expiry date and other relevant data.
Question: How is the large facility orphan levy calculated?
B is the deemed liability of all facilities in the LFP, less the liability of any facilities licensed to a defunct licensee on the date the levy is calculated.
Question: When does the SSLA cost estimate for a facility in the LFP need to be submitted?
an assessment determining the increase in the estimated liability.
Question: How do I become a nonproducer licensee (NPL)?
Answer: Pursuant to Directive 006: Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) Program and Licence Transfer Process, an NPL is a licensee whose deemed assets from midstream activities in the LLR Program, Large Facility Liability Management Program (LFP), and Oilfield Waste Liability (OWL) Program exceed its deemed assets from production volumes reported to Petrinex or a licensee having only facilities included in the LFP or the OWL program.
Question: What is a netback? What items should be included or excluded?
Answer: Netback is net revenue generated from midstream activities per a unit of third-party volume processed. For the purposes of a netback submission, net revenue is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and is equal to gross margin (midstream revenue less cost of goods sold), less direct operating costs and applicable general and administrative expenses.
Net revenue is that which a similar midstream licensee could achieve if it operated the same midstream facility. Net revenue is generated from conducting the day-to-day midstream operations. Therefore, revenue and expense items that would not be typical of facility operations should be excluded from the netback calculations.
Production volumes refer to the 12 months of total received inlet volumes reported to Petrinex against the reporting facility ID codes attached to a facility's licence. Report only third-party volumes from which revenue is generated. Volumes from a licensee's own production are not to be included. The 12-month reported volumes must correspond to the same accounting period as the licensee's most recent fiscal year.
Question: How do I submit an application to transfer a licence in the Oilfield Waste Liability (OWL) Program?
Answer: Waste management approval holders seeking to transfer a facility included in the OWL program apply to our waste and storage section. The transferor can submit a transfer application via our Digital Data Submission (DDS) system for any licences associated with waste management approvals. The approval of the transfer of these licences will coincide with the transfer of the waste management approval.
Question: What is the AER order enforcement process?
Answer: Below is a list of AER orders in order of escalating consequences. AER orders are public documents.
These orders are used primarily for financial noncompliances (e.g., failure to pay a security deposit in accordance with the Orphan Fund Levy or the administration fees).
Consequence: A demand for payment can be accompanied by the licensee being placed on "global refer" status.
Duration: 10 days are given for compliance to be achieved.
Consequence: Licences are ordered suspended and closed; no production is allowed while a closure order is in effect; and AER suspension signs are placed at properties, and equipment is locked and chained.
Duration: Order is in effect until noncompliance is addressed; 30 days are given before enforcement is escalated.
Working interest participants (WIPs): Any WIPs in the properties that are subject to a closure order will be given notice of the noncompliance and informed that if abandonment orders are issued, the WIPs will be named as parties responsible for the abandonment.
Consequence: Properties are ordered to be abandoned.
Duration: 30 days are given to abandon properties or to address initial noncompliance.
WIPs: Any WIPs are named as parties responsible for ensuring the abandonment of the properties by the deadline provided in the order.
Question :Is there a process to appeal an AER order?
Answer: Appeals of orders, decisions, and directions of the AER may be made in accordance with either Part 2 of the Responsible Energy Development Act or Part 4 of the Alberta Energy Regulator Rules of Practice. Details of the information which is to be submitted within the application are included in Part 4 of the AER's Rules of Practice.
Question: What is a regulator-directed transfer (RDT)?
Answer: Under section 24(6) of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act (OGCA), we can direct the transfer of a licence to a person who agrees to accept it and who, in the opinion of the AER, has a right to receive it. For instance, this may occur when a party would like to acquire a well that is licensed to an inactive company or that is under the care and custody of the Orphan Well Association (OWA).
Question: What are the requirements for an RDT?
be prepared to pay security or meet other conditions we set.
Question: What happens to properties upon the breaching of an abandonment order?
Answer: If a licensee does not comply with an abandonment order, our staff will review the licensee and any WIPs to determine whether we or the OWA will address the properties.
If there are no responsible parties for a property, then it will be designated as an orphan and referred to the OWA to be abandoned and reclaimed.
If some or all of the responsible parties are available, we will oversee the abandonment and pursue the responsible parties for the costs it incurs.
Question: As a WIP, how am I affected by enforcement processes?
Answer: WIPs will receive notice of a closure order if they are a responsible party according our records.
If an abandonment order is issued, any WIP will be named as a party responsible for the abandonment of the properties. WIPs are expected to comply with any order in which they are named. Failure to do so may result in the WIP being placed on "global refer" status. If we complete the abandonment because a WIP fails to comply with the abandonment order, the WIP will be responsible for the costs.
Question: What is the AER's section 106 process?
Answer: When a licensee, approval holder, or WIP has failed to comply with an AER order or has an outstanding debt to the AER/OWA for suspension, abandonment, or reclamation costs, and when the AER considers it in the public interest to do so, the AER can make a declaration against the person(s) in control of the licensee, approval holder, or WIP. This could result in sanctions in accordance with section 106(3) of the OGCA against any oil and gas company that person controls, or prevent that company from doing business routinely with the AER. The sanctions could include suspending operations, refusing to grant a BA code to a licensee, refusing to approve applications, or requiring security deposits for abandonment and reclamation of licensed properties.
Question: What is the AER's receivership (also monitor, manager, and trustee) process?
Answer: The receiver assigned to a licensee that holds AER licences or approvals should contact the Liability Management Group at LiabilityManagement@aer.ca. We will work with the receiver to dispose of all oil and gas properties (assets and liabilities) to the extent possible. Remaining oil and gas properties will be subject to requirements under section 70 of the OGCA and, if no WIPs are found, the remaining oil and gas properties will be transferred to the OWA for abandonment and reclamation.
Question: When should the records for a pipeline segment be transferred from the seller (transferor) to the purchaser (transferee)?
Answer: The seller must transfer the records for the pipeline segment being sold before the application is made to the AER to transfer the applicable pipeline licence. Both the seller and the purchaser must confirm on the licence transfer application that the applicable records have been maintained and transferred.
Records transfer should be a matter of discussion between the seller and the purchaser before finalizing the sale; consideration should be given to including records-related matters in the contractual agreement.
Question: Who is responsible for ensuring that all required records are transferred?
Answer: Both parties are responsible. Sellers are responsible for transferring these records, and purchasers are responsible for ensuring that any records transferred meet the applicable requirements (e.g., have been properly maintained) because these records are what show that the pipeline is safe to operate for the intended purpose. The purchaser should use professional judgement to determine if the records are adequate.
If required records are incomplete, they must be re-established and the pipeline must be proven to be fit for service through an engineering assessment. The purchaser's pipeline expert should use professional judgement to determine the scale of the assessment based on the risk associated with the pipeline. (Clauses 3 and 10 of CSA Z662: Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems should be used as a reference.) We recognize that some records cannot easily be replaced; the engineering assessment should provide confidence that the pipeline can be operated safely.
The new licensee is responsible for producing the records required by CSA Z662 and the Pipeline Rules on request by the AER. Any licensee who fails to do so will be in noncompliance with our requirements.
Question: Does the purchaser need to review all required records before agreeing to the licence transfer on the AER's system?
Answer: The seller and purchaser must agree on the records to be transferred as part of the sales arrangement. This is likely to involve technical experts before the licence is transferred. The purchaser's pipeline expert must use professional judgement in determining that the pipeline can be operated safely based on the records.
Question: Does the pipeline licence transfer process announced in Bulletin 2015-34: Confirmation of the Transfer of Pipeline Records to Be Added to the Licence Transfer Application apply to discontinued and abandoned pipelines?
Answer: Yes. The purchaser must review available records to confirm that the pipeline has been properly discontinued or abandoned. If records are insufficient, the two parties must decide how that will be addressed. An appropriate engineering assessment may be required and further work completed. The pipeline expert should use professional judgement to determine the scale of the assessment based on the risk associated with the pipeline.
Question: Does the pipeline records transfer process announced in Bulletin 2015-34 apply to licensees that are bankrupt or otherwise unable to carry on with normal business?
Answer: Yes. Records transfer should be a matter of discussion between the seller and purchaser and part of the sales arrangement, even if the party responsible for a pipeline is a receiver. The purchaser still needs to evaluate the available records to determine if the pipeline can be operated safely. If records are missing and need to be re-established, the onus will fall on the purchaser to undertake an appropriate engineering assessment to re-establish any missing records and determine that the pipeline is fit for its intended purpose.
Question: If after the licence transfer is completed, the purchaser finds that the pipeline records are not in accordance with CSA Z662 and the Pipeline Rules, what should be done?
Answer: If after the licence is transferred, the purchaser finds that the records do not meet what is required or are missing, it is the purchaser's responsibility as the current licensee to have the appropriate engineering assessment done to re-establish any missing records and demonstrate that the pipeline is fit for its intended use and safe to operate. The engineering assessment must be included in the purchaser's integrity management program so that the records are re-established in a timely manner.
Question: What would the AER consider an appropriate engineering assessment?
Answer: The purchaser must use professional judgement to determine what constitutes an appropriate engineering assessment; the assessment must demonstrate that a pipeline is fit for its intended use and safe to operate. Assessments should be scaled according to the risk associated with the pipeline. Clauses 3 and 10 of CSA Z662 should be used as a reference on engineering assessments.
Question: Does the AER have a list of what kinds of records should be transferred, including what it may consider an adequate substitute if those records are missing?
Answer: No. The details of what records a pipeline licensee must maintain are set out in CSA Z662 and the Pipeline Rules and are based on a number of factors, including the pipeline specifications and product transported. The purchaser reviewing the records should use professional judgement to determine if the records are adequate.
Question: How will the AER choose a licence transfer application for compliance review?
Answer: We will choose an application to review at random or during a routine field inspection. We may also decide to review an application if a pipeline segment is considered high risk (e.g., there is a major water crossing). As we complete more reviews, licensee performance in complying with record transfers may become a factor in the selection process.
Question: What are the consequences of noncompliance if the AER determines that the records are inadequate?
Answer: The licensee of record is responsible for complying with our requirements. Noncompliances are addressed under our Compliance Assurance Program. The consequences vary with the circumstances. If records are missing, the licensee, at a minimum, will be required to obtain or generate adequate records. This may include having to do a risk-based engineering assessment to show that the pipeline is fit for its intended use and safe to operate. We may also shut in a pipeline segment until we are satisfied that the records are adequate.
Question: What is a working interest participant (WIP)?
Answer: A WIP is a person who owns a beneficial or legal undivided interest in a well or facility under agreements that pertain to the ownership of that well or facility. WIPs may be required to suspend, abandon, and reclaim a well or facility that they have a working interest in and are required to pay their share of suspension, abandonment, and reclamation costs.
Questions: Does the WIP have to incur all costs of suspension, abandonment, and reclamation if the other WIPs are defunct?
Answer: In the event that a WIP becomes defunct and defaults on the costs to suspend, abandon, or reclaim energy infrastructure, existing licensees may apply to the AER for cost reimbursement for that defunct WIP's share of the costs. We work with the Orphan Well Association (OWA) to establish if costs should be paid. If approved, the OWA reimburses the applicant. Abandonment meeting our requirements must be completed before applying for reimbursement of abandonment costs. A reclamation certificate must have been issued before applying for reimbursement of reclamation costs.

Good News about the Death Penalty and Human Rights
Last night I received an email from a fellow anti-death penalty activist who shared good news from California. The 2010 California Democratic Party Convention included the following in its platform: "The California Democratic Party believes in the human rights of all people, and has taken a position opposing the death penalty in this year's platform."

There are some people who believe in the paranormal despite never having had any spooky experiences themselves. Other people are on the fence and don't truly believe until they experience an unexplainable fright. On Reddit, people are sharing the ghostly encounters that led them to be true believers.
They Saw A Ghostly Arm Opening The Bedroom Door
From Reddit u/ForshevaOlesya:
I do believe in ghosts because I truly believe that I had seen one once:
One night I was woken up at around 1 am by a ghostly pale arm and hand slowly pushing open my squeaky bedroom door. The hand was quite high off the ground which was odd because my husband wasn't home and the only other person in the house was my two-year-old son. I called out to my son but there was no answer.
I got out the bed and left my room only to see that there was no one in the hallway. I switched on the hallway light and noticed smoke coming from my son's room at the other end of the hallway. I rushed over to his room and saw that he was fast asleep and still neatly tucked in under his blankets. His bed lamp was on as usual, and his bedroom window curtain had somehow ended up inside the bed lamp -which was open at the top - and the curtain had begun to smolder, which was responsible for the smoke. It looked like it was about to catch fire at any moment. I removed the curtain from the bed lamp and potentially saved our home from burning down and my son from getting killed.
I still don't know whose hand that was that opened my bedroom door. I like to think that it was a guardian angel or a ghost. I told my pastor about this experience, and he warned me that it could be an evil spirit trying to trick me into trusting it.
Ghostly experience?
They Were The Only One That Could See The Mime
From Reddit u/Avocado90266:
It happened to me when I was visiting friends in another state.
They took me to see their friend's bar/gaming hall (a place for food, drink, and board games, etc. - not gambling). The building was at least 100 years old.
The owner took us to see that he had renovated a back room so he could expand the business. It was a large room with fresh paint, wallpaper, and carpet. We all stood just inside the door of this room, talking.
A young man (no older than 25) came in behind me, dressed in a mime outfit.
It made me think of the 1970s. I thought he worked for the bar/gaming hall. My back was actually close to the wall, so when the young man tried to squeeze behind me (I thought he was trying to avoid interrupting our conversation), I stepped forward, looking back over my shoulder. I said, "Oh, excuse me!"
My friend looked at me and said, "What?"
There was no one behind me. I did not tell anyone about it.
They Caught A Glimpse Of Previous Occupant
From Reddit u/coldfishandfeet:
My first home up north had such an eerie vibe. I would always shudder and feel extremely uneasy walking up the stairs. My bathroom was at the top of the stairs, and I remember one morning in broad daylight after I dropped my kids to school, I saw what appeared to be my boyfriend at the time in the bathroom doorway facing in, wearing his usual attire, a black tracksuit. He kind of side-stepped behind the door. There was a mirror behind it, so I thought nothing of it... until I walked a few steps past the bathroom door across the landing, into my bedroom. There was my ex-boyfriend still fast asleep wearing a blue T-shirt. I shook him awake saying I had just seen him. We checked behind the bathroom door, as I was in absolute panic I had an intruder in my home. The bathroom had a slit of a window, and it was impossible to get out.
When I got friendlier with the neighbours, they told me that the house had been left empty for a couple of years. Because of a couple of deaths in there and no locals wanted to rent it, the previous owner literally drank herself to death in the back bedroom after her husband died. Their son, who was on drugs and deeply troubled, hung himself on the top of the stairs within a few weeks. He was apparently the same height, colouring, and aesthetic as my ex-boyfriend. No matter what he was doing, he also wore a black tracksuit like him, too.
He just didn't look at all ghost like in any sense. More like an actual human intruder who just disappeared.
Every Faucet In The House Turned On At The Same Time
From Reddit u/cloudbaby69:
My single mom and I lived in a house when I was a teen that used to belong to an older couple who had passed away. My friends and I went in the attic to smoke weed or something and found a bunch of the couple's old sheet music and instruments. We got spooked a bit later and climbed down.
From that point on, it was truly like a movie - doors opened and closed themselves, there were weird freezing cold rooms, just a strange "feeling". My mom had recurring dreams of a large, black dog sleeping by her bed. She wouldn't elaborate, but eventually the dreams became so terrifying she wouldn't sleep in her bedroom anymore. The dreams stopped when she started sleeping on the couch.
One day, my mom and I were on the couch, talking about the weird occurrences in the house. At that moment, I sh*t y'all not, every faucet in the house turned on at once in the kitchen and both bathrooms. We walked around and turned them off. All the sink levers were physically raised for the tap to turn on - my mom asked her plumber friend about this, and he couldn't come up with a reason it had happened.

Book Review | To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo
February 13, 2018 Luchia
Another NetGalley review for today (I'm catching up again, for now, *requests a million more books*) but this is one which I was incredibly excited to read! It was described as perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas so of course I had to jump on the chance to request it when I saw it…
Title: To Kill a Kingdom
Author: Alexandra Christo
Publisher: Hot Key Books
Release Date: 6th March 2018
Source: eARC provided through NetGalley by Hot Key Books (this in no way affects my review which is honest and unbiased)
'Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian's heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.
The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby—it's his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she's more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good—But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind's greatest enemy?'
Okay so first thing's first… I am absolutely gutted that this is a standalone book! What had me set on requesting it from NetGalley was the very first line of the summary: 'Dark and romantic YA fantasy for fans of Sarah J Maas – about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her.' So basically I completely had to read this book! The main reason why I'm giving it 5 stars is that it definitely lived up to that, the main character of Lira was so sassy that she really did remind me of some of Sarah's sassiest characters.
'Become the queen we need you to be.'
In terms of the world building, Alexandra has created such a remarkably unique world and you become immersed in it so easily. The descriptions help also, being very detailed down to every part of the mermaids and sirens even. The differences between the different regions of the world are also so unique and mystical to read about. Right down to the rooms the the characters go into even they're described amazingly well, such as the library in Prince Elian's home with a white marble floor and crystal ceiling (I so badly want a library like that).
So, the prince. Imagine a young Jack Sparrow who has to spend more time on land because he's also a prince. And then you have the amazing Elian! He even has a magical compass – but his has two points and can tell if someone is lying or speaking the truth. In addition to this, he has the humour of a typical pirate which makes him a perfect match in word fights with Lira.
'There's always something to find.'
In terms of the other characters, of course I've already mentioned the two main characters Lira and Elian, but there were a few more which really stood out. Obviously the Sea Queen stands out, she's this heartless and vicious thing who you can't help but despise from the very beginning. In terms of Elian's crew, my absolute favourite was a couple called Madrid and Kye. Madrid is the only female member of the crew with sass which almost matches Lira's and the constant jokes between her and Kye (her boyfriend) are ridiculously cute to read!
Structure wise, the chapters follow either Lira or Elian's point of view. This works so well and there is little overlap between the time, with the point of view being from the character most central to each chapter. If the amazing characters and world building isn't enough for you to pick this book up, then the plot most definitely will be! Without giving too much away, Lira does something that the Sea Queen (her mother) doesn't like and so she punishes her by making her human (as she sees that as the worst punishment she could give her). As a human, she is saved by Elian and his crew and ends up adventuring with them to find an important object.
The whole story is very reminiscent of a Little Mermaid retelling, but one which is darker and most definitely will be attractive to fans of Sarah J. Maas stories. There is deceit, romance, sassiness, and amazing fantasy throughout, and the ending is one of the most tear jerking ones I have ever read – I honestly didn't want it to end! It was adorable though and perfect and really did wrap up things very well (although I would not object to a sequel or prequel still). Tying together everything in such a dramatic way also.

BMW Z8 (E52): 20 years since the rebirth of an icon
Home » Models » BMW Z8 » BMW Z8 (E52): 20 years since the rebirth of an icon
Adrian Dorofte
September 26, 2020 / 2 minutes read
The Z8 is one of the most spectacular roadsters that BMW ever built, embodying powerful styling cues from the original 507 of the '50s into a modern, timeless design. The automotive world got an indication of BMW's serious plans when the Bavarians introduced the Z07 concept in 1997 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The roadster show prototype was immediately labelled as a profound tribute to the classic 507 Roadster.
Two years later, at the IAA Frankfurt 1999 edition, BMW officially premiered the series model inspired by the Z07 showcar: the Z8. Both the 1997 concept and the serial-production model were penned by the famous designer Henrik Fisker, under the strict guidance of the equally-renowned Chris Bangle.
The BMW Z07 Concept of 1997.
The then-new BMW Z8 was exclusively powered by the 4,941-cc BMW S62 V8 engine also installed in the E39 M5 generation. The peak output of 295 kW / 400 PS (394 hp) reaches the rear-axle wheels chaneled through a 6-speed manual transmission.
In proper BMW policy, the Z8 achieved the ideal 50:50 weight distribution over the two axles. The powertrain was further enhanced with the standard DSC system and an auto-lock rear differential. The Z8 also premiered the tire pressure control function, a real novelty in the automotive industry at that time.
Furthermore, the E52 model series was the first pan-European model to be fitted with run-flat tires. All in all, the fitted drivetrain was able to propel the Z8 from standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, whereas the top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Up to summer 2003, when the production ceased, exactly 5,703 units of the Z8 have been manually assembled at the home plant in Munich in a specially-developed facility, further highlighting the exclusive status of the E52 roadster model.
ALPINA also took the Z8 to convert into the limited-edition BMW ALPINA Roadster V8. Produced in just 555 examples, the Buchloe-tuned Z8 was powered by the BMW M62 8-cylinder engine instead of the S62, which produces a peak output of 280 kW / 381 PS (375 hp). The M62 engine, coded ALPINA F5, also powered the ALPINA B10 V8 S model based on the E39 5 Series.
During its short career, the Z8 Roadster also served as Official Safety Car of the MotoGP competition during the 2001 – 2003 seasons, also employing a fixed, rigid roof to ensure a higher level of security and to allow for the installation of the light panel.
Last, but not least, the Z8 gained further appeal and raised fans awareness by starring in the Bond series and being driven by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in the 1999-released "The World Is Not Enough" movie.
Albrecht von Goeritz, designer of the legendary 507 Roadster, said in 2003 about the Z8: "If I had to design the BMW 507 now, it would be like the BMW Z8." This pretty much sums up everything about the E52 series.
Certainly, as roadsters become more and more of a rarity, with the Z4 rumored to be facing the axe after the current G29 generation, it is only a matter of years until the modern BMW open-top two-seaters will become modern classics one day. They will then join a rich gallery of roadsters, that also includes the Z3, the Z1 and the 315/1 forerunner model.
The Z8 is surely very close to this milestone, as it is a real, highly sought after collectors' gem.

The Angles: Expect Bucks-Rockets to Be High-Scoring?
The trouble with analyzing the Bucks is that they have no comparison.
Milwaukee has taken MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo and surrounded him with shooters, going 5-out with Brook Lopez.
The result has been the second-best offensive rating in the league and the NBA's best record.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 27-13-6 while shooting — wait for it — 65 percent on 2-point shots. No one has done that, ever. The only comparable players are Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
He is singularly exceptional at his style of play. Defending the Bucks is, well, a problem.
You can't bring help because of their shooters and you can't stay home on shooters because of Giannis' physical dominance.
So when we look at Bucks (-1.5) at Rockets on Wednesday, what other players/teams can we draw from?
You need a dominant omega-forward who is incredible in transition, can pass and finish.
James put up 24 and 29 points vs. the Rockets this season in their two matchups, and averaged 4.5 assists. He also shot 11 three-pointers, hitting only four, and lost both games. Feels relevant. Giannis doesn't have that 3-point ability.
The issue with comparing the Bucks to the Lakers and Thunder (with Russell Westbrook) is that neither team has the Bucks' ability to spread the floor if you send help.
Milwaukee generates 34.5% of its points from 3-pointers, compared to 28.3% for the Lakers and 25.9% for OKC. The Bucks just have more shooting threats.
This is going to be the challenge for Houston tonight: trying to keep a body up on Giannis to stop him from dunking on them … all while staying home on shooters.
The bigger issue Houston will face is Brook Lopez.
Houston has experimented more the past few weeks with dropping the big in pick-and-roll coverage. Doing this keeps Capela (or Nene here) from getting burned while the ball-handler's man recovers.
This works when the screener is a non-shooter, like is usually the case. But while the coverage would still have an issue with Brook Lopez popping to 3-point range, the bigger problem is that the Bucks don't actually involve Lopez much in pick-and-rolls at all with Antetokounmpo. Lopez only accounts for 1.2 screen assists per game.
Typically, instead, the Bucks simply neutralize your center.

In this section, you will find options for deferred repayment or discounts for full repayment of your debt offered by lenders during debt recovery campaigns.
There are no new messages at the moment!
01. Are you a legitimate company and how can I be sure that my debt has been transferred to you for servicing?
We are a commercial company registered in the business register of the Republic of Bulgaria. As a personal data controller, the company follows the regulations of The General Regulation on the protection of personal data 679/2016 ("GDPR") and the Personal data protection Act and is subject to regulation by the Commission for personal data protection, which guarantees the comfort and security of our partners and clients when they entrust us the processing of personal data. You can verify the legitimacy of the company by contacting your creditor, who will certify that they have signed a contract with us.
02. Why did Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts contact me?
There may be several cases in which we contact you: - A contract between us and your creditor for the servicing of arrears; - A contract between us and a company that has acquired your receivables from your creditor; - We have acquired your receivables on the basis of a contract with your creditor.
03. I have received an invitation for voluntary repayment of a financial obligation from Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts – is this legal?
Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts is authorized to send you an invitation, which contains information about your obligation on the basis of a contract signed by you and your creditor. In the event of a misunderstanding, if your debt has already been paid, or the person no longer lives at the address specified in the invitation, please contact us at +359 2 444 10 10 and tell us about the case, so we can avoid future misunderstandings.
04. I have received a phone call from Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts – is this legal?
When you sign a contract with a company, you agree that you can be contacted by the company or its representative in case of late payment. On the basis of a contract between us and the company, we act as its representative. Conversations conducted by our collectors are always in the spirit of good manners and their sole purpose is to understand the reason for nonpayment of obligations and help you stabilize your finances.
05. What should I do when I receive an invitation for voluntary repayment of an obligation sent by Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts?
Your best response would be to contact us at +359 2 444 10 10, or email us at info@debtagency.bg. We will then inform you about your obligation and give you options for its repayment. Creditors often provide opportunities for deferred payment or temporary reduction of your installments on a debt. If you do not contact us, you will not be able to make use of these opportunities and your obligation will be moved on to the judicial phase where costs increase exponentially.
06. How can I be sure that if I contact you, you will not start harassing me every day?
Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts implements the best practices for debt recovery and strives to maintain its good image in society. Our practice does not entail constant messages and reminders. Once we have contacted you, or you have called us or written us an email, and we have informed you about your debt, we have taken the first step towards settling your relationship with the creditor. If you stop honoring the agreement reached previously, or do not make the promised payments, Agency for Control of Outstanding Debts will notify you of the initiation of legal action against you and this will be our last contact with you.
07. What happens if legal action is taken against me?
Before any legal action is taken against you, you will already have been registered in the Central Credit Register at the Bulgarian National Bank. This means that you will not be able to use any credit in the future, or purchase goods with deferred payment, etc. until you pay back your obligations. When your creditor initiates legal action, it means that they have compelling evidence of their claim and in most cases they will win the case. This will result in an exponential increase in your debt. Once the case has been concluded, it will be submitted to a bailiff who can seize your wage, bank accounts, property, as well as, in extreme cases, resort to their sale at a public auction. Our goal is that you should avoid these legal consequences and settle your obligations voluntarily.

Mo. House Dems: don't allow installation of Limbaugh bust in state Capitol
Published March 7, 2012 at 3:05 PM CST
(via Flickr/jennlynndesign)
An interior view of the dome of the Missouri State Capitol.
Updated 5:15 p.m. with information about Gov. Nixon's perspective.
After sending a letter Tuesday in opposition to the installation of a bust of radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh in the Hall of Famous Missourians, Democrats in the Missouri House of Representatives have taken their opposition a step further.
Today, they've sent another letter to a different recipient - the Office of Administration - asking that the bust not be allowed to be installed "in the Rotunda, or any other location in the Missouri Capitol." The Office of Administration's Division of Facilities Management, the Democrats say in the letter, has "general supervision and control of all public areas of the Capitol."
The letter also argues the legal ability of the speaker to mandate a bust's placement in the Hall, and says having one's bust placed there is "an unofficial honor."
Gov. Jay Nixon says he is concerned about the process by which Missouri House speakers select people for induction into the Hall of Famous Missourians.
Nixon spokesman Scott Holste said the governor has asked his administration commissioner to review the selection process. The inductees are chosen by House speakers, and the busts are financed with private contributions.
Here's the full letter:
