Global Goal Nine: Infrastructure of the New World Order – Elon Musk to Construct FEMA Tunnels under US Cities?
See Comments Region:
America is set for a remodel in the coming years. According to Donald Trump, 'we're going to rebuild our cities, and rebuild our infrastructure.' While a remodel is needed, the architecture and plans are concerning; the latest proposal by Elon Musk is alarming, because of its similarity to the mysterious FEMA tunnels.
Throughout 2015, Americans were concerned with Jade Helm 2015, 'Walmart remodels,' and tunnels. In 2016, we were concerned with the possibility of Hillary Clinton obtaining office or Obama staying in office as president. For 2017, a new/old concern is arising – tunnels.
Elon Musk recently tweeted "traffic is driving me nuts, am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging." The tweet was not the first time the CEO and CTO of SpaceX has mentioned a plan regarding tunnels, which has now officially become an agenda of Elon Musk.
Elon Musk's agenda includes creating a company called 'The Boring Company,' which will potentially create tunnels under cities to alleviate traffic congestion. While some may have seen his tweet as a joke, the definition of boring is to make a hole by drilling with such an instrument, a much different definition than an apathetic state of mind. Musk has also envisioned a high-speed transportation system known as the Hyperloop, a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation that propels a pod-like vehicle through a near-vacuum tube at airline speeds. The pods accelerate to cruising speed gradually using a linear electric motor and glide above their track using passive magnetic levitation or air bearings.
While Elon Musk is one of many who has made such proposals, it is important to note, that Elon Musk is also an adviser to Donald Trump. That said, Musk's projects align directly with other globalist ideology that America is set for a remodel into a globalist country.
Infrastructure proposals have come from other globalists as well, such as Parag Khanna who believes that America should become a full-blown technocracy. Parag Khanna sat as an advisor to Obama, while Musk is an advisor to Trump.
Similarly, the United Nations has an agenda for the globe, set in stone in 2015, the 2030 Agenda sprung into being as a continuation of Agenda 21. Under Agenda 2030 are a set of 'goals' for humanity. Goal Nine is currently in focus in regard to infrastructure.
Having previously likened, Parag Khanna's work to that of a United Nations plot, and Parag's proposals to that of the FEMA Regions Map. Musk's work is also strikingly similar to the United Nations ploy, agenda 2030.
Elon has proposed various times that he would like to see tunnels under cities come about to alleviate the 'congestion' and traffic. However, is there another agenda at play?
For decades, people far and wide have warned about the coming FEMA tunnels; now Elon Musk is reportedly going to construct them, under US cities. Even though Musk has proposed it, Trump has to approve it. This means that currently there is no telling what the plans would be for underground tunnels – but it significantly appears as though the globalists are gearing up to construct the Megacities of the New World Order.
The only question is, with Parag Khanna designing the FEMA map, through infrastructure, is Elon Musk creating the FEMA tunnels?

Many restaurants with Kobe beef on their menus are not actually serving Kobe beef
Apr 30th 2016 7:38AM
Japanese Kobe beef is considered the tastiest beef money can buy: a single steak can cost as much as $600.
But an INSIDE EDITION investigation found that while some menus advertise Kobe beef, they are actually serving up meat of lesser value.
Read: 3-Star Michelin Restaurant Changes Menu After Investigation Finds Its Kobe Beef is A Different Meat
Kobe beef, which has a marbled appearance, comes from pure-bred cattle raised on a special diet in Japan. The meat can cost $55 dollars an ounce, and only 400 pounds get shipped to in the U.S. each month, according to Kobe beef distributor Brent Nakama.
Across the U.S., there are only eight restaurants certified to sell Kobe beef, according to the Kobe Beef Association.
INSIDE EDITION visited restaurants in New York and California to find out if any of them are claiming to be serving Kobe beef.
The upscale Hendrick's Tavern on Long Island, New York is not one of the authorized Kobe beef sellers but they sell a Kobe hot dog for $17.
Here's how to cook a steak:
How to Grill Steak (LIFESTYLE/FOOD/PARTNER DON'T CHANGE)
Choosing the Meat
For grilling, pick a steak that's at least 1 1/2-inches thick with marbling in the meat. The fat adds flavor and makes it tender and juicy. This is a New York strip steak.
Trim the Meat
Cut off excess fat, but leave some for flavor.
Temperature Matters
Bring the meat to room temperature and preheat the grill.
Get the Grill Ready
Set up the grill for direct and indirect grilling at least 30 minutes before you cook. Get to know the hot and cool spots by carefully placing your hand 6 inches above the grill.
Oil the Grill
Use tongs and a folded paper towel dipped in oil. Let the oil heat until it's smoking, and then it's time to cook.
Get Grilling
Pat the meat dry, season with salt and pepper on each side and then place the steaks on the hot part of the grill. Let them sear until they release without sticking.
Grill Marks
When the steak lifts easily from the grill, reposition it about 90 degrees to get professional-looking grill marks.
Turn and Repeat
Flip the steaks, let them cook and then give them another quarter turn.
Check the Temperature
Insert the thermometer lengthwise for the best reading. A temperature of 130 to 145 degrees F is the range between medium-rare and medium. For a well-done steak, move it to the cooler part of the grill and let it cook longer.
Let It Rest
Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to let the juices settle. Then slice and serve.
The manager refused to talk to INSIDE EDITION's Lisa Guerrero after she asked if the hot dogs contained real Kobe beef.
In New York City, Le Bernardin – a 3-star Michelin restaurant – was serving a $110 Kobe beef lunch on its menu.
Guerrero asked the manager for a Kobe beef certification and he offered to present it to her, but he never returned.
The owner later called to say they made a mistake, and immediately changed the menu from Kobe beef to Japanese Wagyu, a less expensive Japanese beef.
At one of New York City's most famous steakhouses, Old Homestead, Kobe is listed on the menu for $175 to $350, depending on the size.
However, it is not authentic Kobe beef, according to the Kobe Beef Association.
When Guerrero spoke to owner Marc Sherry, he told her: "You're getting hung up on what the name is."
Guerrero replied: "It's either Kobe beef or it's not Kobe beef."

"We have the finest Japanese beef that money can buy," he insisted.
He also told Guerrero that the restaurant is "absolutely not" misleading customers with its menu.
The manager of 212 Steakhouse in New York City, which sells certified Kobe beef, is outraged that so many restaurants are cashing in on the Kobe name.
"A lot of people are just putting Kobe on the menu, just the word Kobe and jacking up the price," the manager said. "You should get what you pay for and if you are not getting the real thing, you should not be paying the real price."
At the Wynn Hotel's SW Steakhouse in Las Vegas, a certified seller, the Kobe beef they sell is the real deal.
Chef David Walzog said: "When guests are out there buying things that are absolutely exclusive and expensive, there needs to be truth in the menu."
Here are the 8 certified Kobe beef steakhouses in America:
1. 212 Steakhouse Restaurant, New York, NY
2. Alexander's Steakhouse-Cupertino, Cupertino, CA
3. Alexander's Steakhouse-San Francisco Restaurant, San Francisco, CA
4. SLS Las Vegas - Bazaar Meat by José Andrés Restaurant, Las Vegas, NV
5. Jean Georges Steakhouse, Aria Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, NV
6. Nick & Sam's Restaurant, Dallas, TX
7. Wynn Las Vegas – SW Steakhouse Restaurant, Las Vegas, NV
8. Arsenal Restaurant, San Francisco, CA

I have been on the hunt for an denim ombre top for over a year. This ain't no joke. :) I absolutely love this one! I ordered a size large and it was a tad big so I tied it on the side and I think it turned out pretty cute! If I don't tie the side I will most likely wear this top with a belt or a vest to slim down the sides.
I got these black pants from Nordstrom and even though they are too short (tall girl problems) they have become a huge staple in my closet for my dressier looks and also my casual looks! Black is also slimming so that is a huge plus!


When Christians read the scriptures and pray, we want to grow closer to God in our relationship with Him. A great way to do this is to use the A.C.T.S. model of prayer (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, & Supplication) as a way to engage with God through the Scriptures. Last week, I wrote about how we can write down God's praise worthy attributes as we read Scripture in order to utilize those praises in prayer back to God when we have completed our reading (Adoration). This week, I want to share some thoughts using Scripture reading to help us identify and confess sins to the Lord.
Confessing sin before the Lord is not something that brings most of us great excitement (nor does writing about it) – at least not on the surface. While we might say confessing our sins to God is not a "fun" part of being a Christian, it is a vital aspect of growing closer to God just as taking responsibility for how we hurt others is critical to the well-being of any relationship in our lives. When we recognize that following Jesus as our King is relational and that our disregard for his commands is personally offensive to Him, it is not difficult to see the need to confess our sins to Him. Since it is part of sin's very nature to deceive, we won't know so many of the ways that we offend the Lord unless He reveals it to us. In His grace, God works by His Holy Spirit to bring the light of His word to our darkened hearts that we might see our sins for what they are and turn from them. God tells us in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Since God promises to forgive, there is no need to fear admitting our wrongs to Him. Confession of sin allows us to address the relational wedge our sin introduces between us and God so that we can grow in our intimacy with God.
When we confess our sins to God, we need to do so with a heart that forsakes the sin itself. Mere acknowledgment of sin won't lead to transformation nor will it lead to greater intimacy with God. We need to see our sin as God sees it so that we actually hate the sin itself that dishonors God rather than just feeling sorry for ourselves for sinning. This can lead to confessing our sins simply in the hopes that God will be gracious with any consequences stemming from our sin, which is really a just a form of self-interest rather than seeking to reconcile with the God we have offended. The goal of confessing our sins is ultimately a closer walk with Jesus (growth in our love for God and his honor). We need to recognize that our sin dishonors God and hinders our fellowship with Him so that when we confess sins to God we actually hate the sin itself. Then we can rightly receive His forgiveness anew in a way that our enhances our intimacy with God and grows our love for Him. This helps produce the kind of heart change that truly honors God and makes less vulnerable to the sin in the future.
What are the dangers of this sin?
What is the specific nature of the guiltiness of this sin (what aspect of God's character does it offend, ignore, or deny)?
You certainly don't need to use these additional questions; but when I do use them, I have found that I am well prepared to confess my sins to the Lord in prayer. Regardless, the point of writing down sins to confess while you read Scripture is to actually confess your sins to the Lord that you might know His forgiveness and love afresh, so don't leave this step out. May we all honor the Lord by listening to His words to us in Scripture and rooting out the sin which so easily entangles us all through confession so that we might draw closer to Him who has drawn near to us in love.

1998: Busta Rhymes delivers his third studio album with E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front exactly 20 years ago.
The 19-track project features production from Swizz Beatz, Nottz, DJ Scratch, Diamond D and more. E.L.E. also had a bunch of notable guest appearances with contributions from Janet Jackson, Busta's crew, Flipmode Squad and Ozzy Ozbourne among others.
With Extinction Level Event, Busta continues with his apocalypse theme that he explored on his first two albums, The Coming and When Disaster Strikes.
On E.L.E, The Brooklyn MC perfects his warp-speed delivery, rapping faster than he ever had before. Busta's lightning-fast flow is as evident as ever on track No. 11, "Iz They Wildin' Wit Us & Getting Rowdy Wit Us?" featuring Mystikal, who just so happened to also drop his third studio album, Ghetto Fabulous, on the exact same day in 1998.
The album was a major success with favorable reviews from major publications across the board, and the album earning three Grammy nominations, one for the album itself in the category of Best Rap Album, a Best Rap Solo Performance nod for "Gimme Some More" and a Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group nomination for "What's It Gonna Be?!" with Janet Jackson.
The platinum-selling album debuted at No. 12 on the official U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, and it remained on the chart for a whopping 32 weeks.

Petershausen ist der direkt nördlich und rechts des Seerheins gelegene Stadtteil von Konstanz. Seinen Namen erhielt der Stadtteil nach dem gleichnamigen Kloster Domus Petri, daraus später Petrihusa.

Geschichte

An dieser Stelle existierte eine römische Siedlung, die im 3. Jahrhundert verlassen wurde. Später kam das Gelände in den Besitz des Klosters Reichenau. Erst mit der Gründung des Klosters Petershausen durch den Konstanzer Bischof Gebhard um das Jahr 983 kam es wieder zu einer Ansiedlung, aus der ein Doppeldorf entstand: östlich des Klosters das Oberdorf, das nach einem dortigen Gasthof "Zum Sternen" auch als Sternenviertel benannt wurde, und südwestlich des Klosters an der Straße nach Reichenau das Unterdorf, in dem Bedienstete des Klosters wohnten. Die Dörfer entwickelten sich relativ selbständig, kamen aber immer mehr unter den Einfluss der Stadt Konstanz und wurden um das Jahr 1600 zur Konstanzer Vorstadt Petershausen.

Die Entwicklung von Petershausen blieb zunächst beschaulich. Durch die Säkularisation des Klosters 1802 und den anschließenden teilweisen Verfall der Klostergebäude verlor Petershausen einen wichtigen Entwicklungsmotor. Die verbliebenen nutzbaren Gebäude des Klosters wurden als Militärhospital genutzt und ab 1850 zur Kaserne ausgebaut. Die Ansiedlung des Militärs und ab 1863 der Anschluss an die Badische Staatsbahn sorgten dann wieder für einen Aufschwung für Konstanz insgesamt und Petershausen speziell. Da die Stadt Konstanz nach Süden hin durch die Grenze zur Schweiz begrenzt war, wirkte sich der Anstieg der Einwohnerzahl vor allem im Wachstum von Petershausen aus, das sich rund um das ehemalige Kloster ausbreitete. Entlang des Bodenseeufers östlich des Sternenviertels und nach Norden an der Straße nach Wollmatingen entstanden Promenaden und Villenviertel. 1912 erhielt Petershausen eine eigene Volksschule, die heutige Theodor-Heuss-Realschule. Der für 1913 geplante Kirchenneubau verzögerte sich und konnte durch den Ersten Weltkrieg und die Inflation bedingt erst 17 Jahre später geweiht werden. Schule, Kirche und Pfarrhaus bildeten das neue Zentrum des Stadtteils Petershausen. Zwischen 1914 und 1917 wurde eine weitere Kaserne, die Jägerkaserne, im Stadtteil errichtet.

Das Sternenviertel bestand bis zum Ausbau der Rheinbrücke 1936–1938. Für die mehrspurige Straßenführung und die Bahnunterführung Richtung Staad wurde das gesamte Viertel abgerissen. Der Name des Verkehrsknotenpunkts "Sternenplatz" erinnert noch heute an das ehemalige Dorf.

Roti Canai is an Indian Flatbread and it is delicious. I have had it on a few other occasions in Penang, but Sin Kok wanted to bring me to the "real deal" at the Transfer Route in the Heritage area. It is the most famous place to get roti canai in Penang and was a definite must go before I left for Kuala Lumpur. I must say it was delicious and I felt like a local sitting on the benches sipping Teh Tarik (pull tea, a type of Indian milk tea) and devouring the most amazing roti canai.
I'm going to miss it here!! But thank God I am leaving! I eat way too much and I'm getting fat from all this delicious food!!

Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Tonight's episode begins where the series left off as Vincent is being led away after being arrested for the murder of Kurt Windsor. Catherine runs after the detectives begging them not to take Vincent. The detectives are unmoved and place Vincent in the police car. Just as they are getting ready to take off, Vincent tells Catherine that he needs the gem. Just as she yells to him about its whereabouts, the car takes off and she doesn't get an answer. She runs back inside the house, dropping her badge in the snow in the process.
Cat gets in the car and calls JT immediately telling him about Vincent's arrest and the part Gabe played in it. She tells him she needs to know where the gem is. He shares that he has no idea where it is. She tells him to think about where it could be as she heads to the station to try to intercept the lab work they do upon intake because the blood test would expose him. When Cat arrives and tries to gain access to intake, she realizes she doesn't have her badge. The officer won't let her in without it. She calls Tess, not realizing that she is at JT's and was in bed with him when she called him earlier, and asks for her to come over to vouch for her.
Tess tries to wiggle her way out of the fact that she is not so close to the station (since she's at JT's) by saying she is at the gym. Cat counters that the gym is close as well and Tess responds that she changed gyms. Meanwhile, JT is talking to Gabe on the other phone and yelling about how he could do such a terrible thing to Vincent. He denies having anything to do with the arrest, but JT isn't hearing anything he has to say. Tess says her trainer is yelling in the background when Cat inquires about the noise. Finally, Tess says she's on her way and has JT drop her off a block away! Cat heads back into the station and is mistaken for a psyche patient. Lowen arrives just in time to help her get in.
Meanwhile, Vincent is going through the intake process. Cat gets into the locker area and find an officer's uniform to get to intake. She makes it just in time as Vincent started to freak out just as they were ready to take his blood. She tells them she was sent because she is experienced in dealing with this kind of situation, so they let her sit with him as they draw his blood. She intercepts the saliva and blood tests by saying she'll take them to the lab, and finds out that the gems are hidden in his brother's tombstones. She meets with Gabe, JT, and Tess to ask for help and give them an update.
JT still has trouble believing Gabe and during a rant, blurts out that he and Tess slept together. Cat and Tess are digging snow off the gravestones looking for the gem. Tess tries her best to calm Cat's fears but Cat tells her that there is so much at stake and with all the trials and depositions that will come, it may come out that Vincent killed Kurt. She is worried her love will get a life sentence. Gabe calls Cat and shares that they have pictures of Vincent carrying Kurt's lifeless body. Cat begins to come up with several scenarios they could use in his defense. They all seem quite far-fetched, however. Gabe then tells Cat that they found Kurt's heart in Vincent's fridge. Cat is shocked. Cat thinks her dad had something to do with it in an effort to protect her. She thinks her dad paid someone off to frame Vincent. He claims innocence but tells Cat that he is happy that Vincent is finally where he belongs.
JT straps the gem to Vincent but he is worried about al the risks everyone is taking. He tells JT that when an investigation takes place they will all be in trouble for covering it up. He believes he needs to be responsible for what he's done. Cat goes to see Vincent and tells him that her dad planted the evidence against him and that he needs to fight this or his dad will win. When he questions her feelings, she tells him they can make it through this. He worries she will resent him later for all he's put her through. She tells him her plans and he tells her not to be involved in any cover up. She won't budge.
Moments later, Vincent intentionally picks a fight with another inmate. He needs a transport to the hospital. Vincent uses that ride to shed his gem. He beasts out moments later and escapes as the driver calls for help. In a meeting with Gabe and Gloria, Cat is interrupted by a phone call from Tess. She sees the news report about Vincent's violent escape.
Cat, JT, Tess and Gabe meet up to talk about what happened as they try to piece together where Vincent can be. JT and Tess go to the gravesite again and JT is still upset with Tess and aggravated about the whole situation. Gabe shares his feeling with Cat about how he feels and how upset he is with how Vincent is handling this. He worries about Cat and her meeting with a known fugitive. He is worried he sounds like the guy trying to swoop in and save her, but he has real concerns. He knows Vincent will end up where Cat is because he'll want to see her.
Just as Gabe predicted, Vincent turns up at Cat's place, on her rooftop. He shares that he does not want her to make the sacrifice she wants to make by protecting him. He wants just one more night with her. While she agrees to his request, she wants to make certain he is clear that she will get him out and this will not be their last night. She calls JT and tells him what he must get started on and confirms she is with Vincent. He asks Cat for her phone. She wonders why he is persistent about asking for it. He takes it and plays a song with sentimental value to them.
They are interrupted by a knock at the door. It is Gabe. Gabe has good news and shares that he knows who framed Vincent. Cat calls Vincent out and Gabe is not happy that he is there with her. They go to visit Salvo, the person with the information who may be able to save Vincent. Salvo was found dead by Cat and Gabe and they immediately go to see Cat's dad again. He denies having Salvo killed. As they are about to leave, Cat's dad tells Gabe that he needs to try harder to protect Cat. Cat comes back and shares the news of a couple more murders of people involved in the cover up.
Cat tells Vincent they need to pack up and go. Vincent won't let her go with him and makes it seem as though she had nothing to do with Vincent and his escape as he leaves her tied to a chair. He takes off and Cat and JT talk about what happened as Cat is sad to let him go. Gabe smiles smugly at the TV when he sees a picture of Vincent as a fugitive on TV. In bed, Cat hears a noise as she is falling asleep and gets up calling for Vincent. She is then taken from behind and a bag is thrown over her head.
It is heating up now. Tell us what you thought about the first episode back after the long break!

Sorry, Cablevision subscribers. It's looking more like you'll have to leave home to watch Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night.
News Corp.'s Fox has rejected the latest offer from Cablevision Systems Corp., meaning that about 3 million homes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will continue to be without the signals of Fox's New York and Philadelphia TV stations.
Earlier Wednesday, Cablevision offered to take a one-year deal and pay the same rate that Time Warner Cable pays for Fox's WNYW-TV New York and WTXF-TV Philadelphia.
However, Fox is interested in a deal that includes WWOR-TV New York as well as cable channels Fox Business Network and National Geographic Wild. Time Warner Cable's deal does include those channels. Cablevision did not indicate that it would be willing to do a deal that included those networks.
In a statement, Fox said Cablevision's offer was "not acceptable" and was the latest in a long line of "publicity stunts." Fox said it would negotiate a deal based on "an entire suite of channels" or a stand-alone agreement for the three TV stations.
The FCC has resisted an urge to intervene but has suggested that both sides consider a third-party arbitrator. Cablevision has said it was willing to go that route, but Fox has said it was not interested in bringing in an outsider to cut a deal.


This famous creole dish with a Quechua name and remote pre-Columbian origin has two names: carapulcra and carapulca. It is one of the oldest mestizo dishes still in existence. The people of that time gave the dish the flavour of Andean cuisine.
Manuel Atanasio Fuentes wrote about carapulca in 1860, indicating that it was one of the "dishes in the daily diet of those who were not so well-off." He later clarified that it was also served at the "big feasts," which "consisted of the most famous dishes of that time," one of which was carapulca.
The scholar Alberto Tauro del Pino, in his Illustrated Encyclopedia of Peru, says carapulca is prepared with "dry, toasted and lightly crushed potato. While being cooked, it is seasoned with lard, onion, salt, hot pepper, garlic, black pepper and ground cumin. Then the cooked meat is added with its own juices, and before serving pieces of cooked potatoes and hard-boiled eggs are also added.
Whether called carapulca or carapulcra, and whether served with rice, pork, or ají peppers, it will continue to be one of the oldest and most popular dishes of Peruvian cuisine, which we can enjoy thanks to the blessings of the national cuisine.


Overkill: disponibile il box limitato del nuovo "White Devil Armory"
SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor spoke to the Des Moines Register about the band's upcoming sixth album, which is tentatively due this summer.
The new disc is once again being recorded at a Los Angeles studio with producer Greg Fidelman, who engineered and mixed SLIPKNOT's 2004 album "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" and helmed ".5: The Gray Chapter".
He explained: "People are way too pissed about the wrong things and not pissed enough about the right things. "[The song sets] the tone for getting people to stand up and go, 'We're not gonna allow this. We're not gonna allow people to run us down for religious beliefs, for the color we are, for what we stand for. For who we chose to love.' All of these things. There's nobody doing it, man. Everybody's too worried about their pockets. Everybody's too worried about their paychecks.
"That was me, basically, drawing a line in the sand and going, 'Guess what? You don't get to do this anymore,'" he added.

Warming seas around Antarctica could soon unleash an invasion of predators for the first time in millions of years that would decimate the region's fragile, biologically diverse ecosystem.
Some 40 million years ago cooling seas drove crabs and other marine predators north, away from Antarctica, letting a unique ecosystem of soft-bodied and thin-shelled organisms proliferate. Now, as water temperatures rise, king crabs are the first in line to feast on the bounty of defenceless sea creatures.
"This is the last stand for pristine marine communities," says Richard Aronson of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Alabama, who presented his findings with colleagues on Friday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston. "Nowhere else do you see ribbon worms, gigantic brittle stars and sea spiders sharing the ocean bottom with fish that have antifreeze in their blood," he says.
Today, the average annual sea temperature of the Antarctic continental shelf is about 1 °Celsius.
The crabs live in slightly warmer waters just off the shelf and will be able to move in if temperatures warm by another 1 °C – a change that is likely to take place within the next 100 years.
"If the waters continue to warm, sharks will invade the waters of Antarctica where they will find a veritable smorgasbord of sea life just waiting for them," says Cheryl Wilga of the University of Rhode Island. Wilga notes that temperatures would have to warm to 7 °C for at least part of the year before sharks could enter.
Warming temperatures in the Arctic have had less of an effect on seafloor life because a type of cold-water cod with shell-crushing abilities has long been a part of the ecosystem.
As water temperatures in Antarctica rise, ballast water discharge from the ever-increasing number of ships visiting the region each year may further hasten the introduction of foreign predators.

Replacement Banknotes
By S&C ETC., July 27, 2018
All modern United States currency contains either a 10- or 11-digit serial number in order to make each bill unique. Ten-digit serial numbers were on all bills until the "new style" came out in 1996. Those bills (and all produced since then) have an 11-digit serial. The serial number consists of the following:
The first letter, only found on the new-style bills, represents the series of the bill. The series indicates the year in which the design of the bill was approved for production. This begins with A, and moves through the alphabet each time a new series is needed (for example, each time there is a new secretary of the treasury, the bill design changes because the secretary's signature is on all currency). You can also find the series of the bill printed directly to the bottom-right of the portrait.
The second letter (or first, if you're looking at an old-style bill) represents the district of the Federal Reserve Bank that your bill was issued from. As there are 12 Federal Reserve Banks, this letter can range from A to L, with A representing Boston, MA, and L representing San Francisco, CA.
The eight numerical digits that follow represent a unique ID number. This number increases sequentially as each bill is printed. Using these digits alone, there would be a possible 99,999,999 bills issued per bank.
The final letter is used to raise the number of possible bills beyond 99,999,999. Altogether, there are a possible 2,499,999,975 serial numbers for each bank!
As quality control finds defective notes in the printing process after the serial number has been overprinted, they are taken out with their serial number written down and replaced with another banknote printed specifically for this purpose, so that the number of banknotes being printed stays the same in each production batch. With replacements notes, a set of serial numbers can still have the proper number of bills even if some of the original bills had to be pulled. The replacement notes have a sequence of their own, using the star as their final "letter." This allows for 99,999,999 possible replacement notes for any given bank, series and denomination. This saves time and money compared to re-printing exactly the same serial number that was used before. It is rare that the replacement banknote has the same serial number as the original faulty one. A replacement note will have its own serial numbering system that separates it from the normal numbering system.
A star note is also a bank note that has an asterisk (*), or star, after the serial number. Many early issues carried the star in front of the serial number. These have been used by various countries around the world including Australia and the United States. In the US, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing inspects currency for printing errors prior to releasing notes into general circulation. When notes are discovered that have been printed incorrectly (such as having the serial numbers upside down, etc.) the misprinted "error notes" are replaced with star notes because no two bills within a certain series can be produced with the same serial number. They are used to maintain a correct count of notes in a serial number run. By their nature, star notes are more scarce than notes with standard serial numbers and as such are widely collected by numismatists.
A star note was also substituted for the last note in a block rather than printing a note with a serial number consisting of eight zeros. This practice is no longer in use, as the highest range of serial numbers is now reserved for uncut sheets sold to collectors, so regular notes intended for circulation do not reach the final serial number in the block.
In general, replacement notes aren't worth more than regular bills. However, if you find a replacement note with a particularly interesting serial number — like 00000001 or 999999999 — or a large number of consecutively numbered replacement notes that you keep together as a lot, you may have a collector's item on your hands.

Do you have a novel, short story, essay, or memoir that's in progress? Is there a genre not listed in the scheduled workshops below that you'd like to work on with me?
We can work together on suspense/thriller, personal essays, horror, short stories, fantasy, science fiction, romance, supernatural, or historical fiction and arrange to do that any month during the year. You choose the genre, you choose the schedule.
If you'd like to work with me on a project of your choice, you don't need to enroll in one of the themed workshops below, just email me via this contact link. We'll discuss your project and make the arrangements.
Each of us has many stories to tell. Memoir offers you the chance to deepen and share those stories, focusing on a specific time in your life or a particular theme that organizes your experience.
One of the most exciting aspects of writing a memoir is deciding where and how your unique story begins. That'll be the focus of "Finding Your Memoir." Together, we'll engage in guided weekly writing exercises and you'll end the workshop with a piece that can become the doorway to your larger project. I'll work with each workshop participant individually via email. You'll send me your writing as a Microsoft Word file attached to your email; I'll edit and comment on what you send and return it to you. Before the workshop begins, we'll speak on the phone about your goals for the workshop.
I've published three books of memoirs. The best known is My Germany, which explores what Germany, real and imagined, has meant to me as a writer who's the son of Holocaust survivors.
"Finding Your Memoir" runs from August 1-31, 2019 and enrollment is limited to ten participants. To enroll you need to register and pay the workshop fee of $250. Fees are not refundable, but you can apply them to a future workshop if you're unable to participate after registering.
Did you take my "Finding Your Memoir" writing workshop and now you want to carry forward the work you started? Do you want to develop something new? Have you begun a book-length memoir, finished one, or taken memoir workshops elsewhere? Then this advanced, intensive workshop is for you. Over the course of the month I'll mentor you with your new work or your work-in-progress to make sure that it's focused, vivid, and compelling. If you're not grabbing your readers quickly and sustaining their interest, then you're likely to lose them since there's just so much competition for their attention. I will do it all with you, from analyzing content, structure, and style down to proofing and copy editing, so that you're well on your way to producing something polished and unforgettable.
I'll work with each workshop participant individually via email. You'll send me your writing as a Microsoft Word file attached to your email; I'll comment using Track Changes on what you send, as well as do close editing and return it to you. Before the workshop begins, we'll speak on the phone about your goals for the workshop.
I've published three books of memoirs. The best known is My Germany, which explores what Germany, real and imagined, has meant to me as a writer as the son of Holocaust survivors. I toured with the book twice all across Germany as well as in the U.S. and Canada, doing over fifty talks and readings, some of them in German.
"Mining Your Memories" runs from October 1-31, 2019 and enrollment is limited to ten participants. To enroll you need to register and pay the workshop fee of $250. Fees are not refundable, but you can apply them to a future workshop if you're unable to participate after registering.

Google's 8 biggest announcements from the Pixel 2 event
Jacob Siegal @JacobSiegal
On Wednesday morning, Google took the stage in San Francisco, California to unveil its new line of hardware Made by Google. Sadly, following a stream of leaks, there weren't many surprises left unspoiled, but fans of Google devices still had plenty to get excited about, from new phones to new smart speakers to a new hands-free camera.
Google started by discussing its renewed focus on machine learning and AI. Google wants to solve problems, like how to map a neighborhood where the house numbers are difficult to detect, or how to find parking in San Francisco. There are 55 million Chromecasts floating around and more than 100 million unique answers were added to Google Assistant. And despite supply constraints, Google is happy with Pixel sales. But now it's time for new devices.
First up was the Google Home Mini, a new, smaller smart speaker in the Google Home line. The Mini features a durable, transparent fabric enclosure that lets through light and sound, with four LED lights visible through the fabric. Tap the fabric to pause your music, adjust the volume or talk to your assistant. It might be smaller than other smart speakers, but it still projects 360-degree sound and can hear you even when the music is blasting with its far-field microphones. The Google Home Mini will be available in Coral, Chalk and Charcoal color options and will cost $49 in the US. It's available for preorder today and will hit stores on October 19th.
Another addition to the Google Home line, Google debuted the Max on Wednesday as well. The Google Home Max feature dual high-excursion woofers, custom 0.7-inch tweeters and an acoustic brace. With Smart Sound, Google Home Max will adapt sound dynamically to its surroundings, so it will sound the best it can no matter where you place it. Max supports YouTube Music, Spotify, Pandora and more. You can stand it vertically or horizontally as well. The Google Home Max will run you $399 when it launches this December, in both Chalk and Charcoal colors. It also comes with a free 12-month subscription to YouTube Red.
With the Home devices out of the way, Google shifted its focus to the new Pixelbook, which is calls a "high performance Chromebook." The Pixelbook measures in at just 10.3mm and 1.1 kilogram. With its 4-in-1 design, you can use it as a tablet, a laptop and anything in between. Specs include a 12.3-inch Quad HD LCD touchscreen, Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 512GB of internal storage and 10 hours of battery life.
The Pixelbook can also instantly tether to your Pixel phone, supports all Google Play apps and is the first laptop with Google Assistant built in. The Pixelbook starts at $999 and the Pixelbook Pen accessory will sell for $99. Preorders start today, and the laptop will be available on October 31st.
The sequel to last year's Pixel, the Pixel 2 isn't quite a revolutionary as we were hoping it might be. The design of the Pixel 2 is almost indistinguishable from that of last year's flagship, especially when it comes to the phone's 5-inch OLED display. The specs have been upgraded though, as the Pixel 2 comes equipped with a Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM and an improved 12-megapixel camera.
The Pixel 2 will be available in three different colors: Just Black, Clearly White and Kinda Blue. The 64GB model of the Pixel 2 will costs $649, while the 128GB model will retail for $749. Preorders go live today.
If you're looking for a Google phone that does everything the Pixel 2 does, but has an even sleeker, more modern design, the Pixel 2 XL is the phone for you. Unlike the Pixel 2, the XL features a massive 6-inch pOLED display that stretches close to the edges of the phone. Most of the other specs are the same, but the Pixel 2 XL looks more like a phone from released in 2017. There are only two color options for the Pixel 2 XL: Just Black and Black & White. The 64GB costs $849, and the 128GB costs $949. Preorders go live today as well.
As Google pushes further into AR with new software on its phones, it's also doubling down on VR with upgraded hardware. The new Google Daydream View headset can pair with the Pixel 2 or any other Daydream-ready phone an features high-performance lenses for better clarity and a wider field of view. The new View comes in three colors: Fog, Charcoal and Coral. You can preorder the updated View now for $99.
Google Pixel Buds
Google is taking on Apple's AirPods with a new products called the Pixel Buds. These wireless headphones charge in a pocket-sized charging case, automatically connect to your Android phone and offer up to 24 hours of listening time on a single charge. They also have gesture controls, so that you can swipe forward or backward on the right touchpad on the right earbud to control your music. But the most impressive demo that Google showed off had the Pixel Buds translating speech in real time between two people speaking two different languages. The Pixel Buds come in three colors (Just Black, Clearly White and Kinda Blue), cost $159 and will be available in November.
Google Clips
Finally, Google introduced a diminutive, hands-free camera called Google Clips. Set the camera down wherever you want and it will automatically capture moments as they happen. There's also a shutter button on the device and within the Google Clips app, so that you can manually snap shots as well. If you're using Google Photos, you can backup unlimited clips for free. Google Clips is coming soon to the US for $249.

The 10 best features of Google's new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL
By Andy Meek 10 hours ago


Inexpensive and readily available, powdered borax, also known as sodium tetraborate, is a naturally occurring common boron mineral salt. Borax is a component in a diverse array of laundry soaps, bath salts, hand soaps, cleaning products, and cosmetics. It's a product homesteaders have used for more than 100 years.
First discovered in dry lakebeds of Tibet in the eighth century, the soft, colorless crystals did not gain popularity until the early 19th century when massive deposits of the mineral were discovered in California and Nevada.
Borax was originally marketed with a name that represented its method of transport from the high desert mines to the processing plant: 20 Mule Team Borax.
Borax is odorless, isn't absorbed through the skin, costs just pennies per application, is environmentally friendly and has dozens of helpful applications in the home and around the homestead. Read on to discover a wealth of diverse ways that borax can be your go-to, low-cost, environmentally friendly product to use for most any homestead chore.
Did you know that borax deodorizes your laundry, softens hard water, removes stains, whitens whites, disinfects, and prolongs the longevity of clothing and linens? As a laundry booster, borax is the best.
To remove the toughest stains, mix the juice of one lemon with 1 cup of borax. Add enough distilled white vinegar to make a thick paste. Spread the paste on stubborn stains, rubbing the stained spot gently with a soft brush. Throw the stained item in the wash. Add one cup of borax to the laundry load, wash, and rinse.
Borax and bleach can be safely mixed together to help whiten your dull clothes. Here's an easy hint to whiten your sheets and towels. Pre-soak dull, yellowed, or grayed linens in hot water, using a ratio of ½ cup of borax and ¼ cup of regular bleach to a gallon of water.
If you prefer to use concentrated chlorine bleach, use just 3 tablespoons of bleach per gallon of water. Make sure all items are completely submerged in the pre-soak liquid. Soak for an hour or overnight and then wash and rinse.
If you wish to brighten colored clothing, use the same recipe with warm water and all-fabric bleach, formulated for colors. It is gentler on colored fabric than chlorine bleach.
Borax is a powerful rust remover, cleaning agent, and natural disinfectant. Rusty tools and farm implements look bright and new when they're scrubbed with a solution of borax and lemon juice.
Combine borax and lemon juice, stirring until it reaches a pasty consistency. Apply the paste to rusty tools with a cloth. Scrub your tools with the mixture and rinse them off with clean water. Wipe your tools dry with a soft, clean cloth and store them away until you need them again.
Or, dissolve 1 cup of borax powder and 2 cups of white vinegar in a gallon of hot water. Use the solution to scrub down and disinfect garden tools, livestock water tanks, pet dishes, garden furniture, toys, and playground equipment.
Pour a ½ cup of borax down the garbage disposal. Let it sit for 10 minutes, run the disposal, and flush out the build-up with hot water. Your garbage disposal will be sparkling clean, disinfected and odor-free.
To remove resistant stains in the toilet bowl, add a cup of borax to the bowl and let it sit overnight. Scrub all the gunk away with a toilet bowl brush and flush the toilet.
On stained sinks and countertops, sprinkle borax powder on a damp cloth and scrub away rust and water stains. Rinse with warm water and polish with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. Using borax regularly provides an added bonus of keeping drains running freely and smelling fresh.
Scrubs surfaces where mold accumulates with a solution of ½ cup of vinegar, ½ cup of baking soda, and ½ cup of borax dissolved in hot water. Do not rinse.
Equal parts baking soda and borax are an inexpensive homemade dishwasher soap that cuts through grease as effectively as high-priced, chemical-laden commercial products.
If baked-on food makes cleaning pots and pans a challenge, soak hard-to-clean dishes and pots in a solution of hot water and ½ cup of borax.
If your dishwasher is leaving bits of food, stains, or cloudy glassware, it's trying to tell you that the dishwasher itself needs a good cleaning. Borax does the job.
Sprinkle a heavy amount of borax powder on the inside door and bottom of the dishwasher. Scrub with a wet brush. Run your next load of glassware, silverware, dishes, and pots and pans as normal. You will be amazed at the difference. For sparking, dazzling dishes every time, add ½ cup of borax to every dishwasher load.
If cockroaches, earwigs, ants, bed bugs, mites, ticks, or fleas are a persistent problem around your homestead, borax is the solution.
Mix ¼ cup of sugar with ¼ cup of borax powder. Add enough water to make a thick paste. Place a dab of the paste on a saucer or bottle lid and place it in the back of cupboards and closets. When insects ingest the mixture, they die.
Another day, another DIY. This one is brand new to me and it blew my mind. ************************************************ So, all of a sudden we had a ton of ants coming in our kitchen. Super annoying, right? I immediately took to pinterest to look for a solution, which I was lucky enough to find without 2 seconds because one of my friends had pinned it and it was in my notifications. Almost like it was meant to be! ************************************************ Full disclosure, before I tried this, my husband sprayed Raid ant killer and got rid of hundreds of ants. I was so bummed because I wouldn't know if this worked. But, I already had the ingredients out so I made it anyway just in case. Guess what? The little creeps were back the next day. Yay! Or not.. 🙂 ************************************************ Here's how it works. Put 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of borax in warm water until dissolved. Soak some cotton balls in the water and then put them on a small lid and place where the ants are coming in. ************************************************ Picture one was from yesterday when I saw them swarming the trap. I expected to find a bunch of dead ants this morning, but they were gone (second picture). It's like a Christmas miracle. Seriously, my mind is blown. After a little googling this morning, it seems they eat and take the mixture back to the colony to share so it wipes out the whole population. So maybe not a Christmas miracle for the ants. ************************************************ Keep in mind, borax can be dangerous if ingested by pets or children, so this may not be for everyone. Luckily we don't have a pet right now and my child is old enough that he won't try to eat cotton balls.
To get rid of bed bugs, sprinkle borax powder on your mattress, and allow it to remain on the mattress surface for an hour or longer, then vacuum. Borax also kills dust mites and fleas that often infest bedding.
Keep in mind, borax, in small amounts, is not toxic to pets or people. However, be sure to read instructions and warning labels printed on the packaging.
Borax powder kills any plant when it's sprinkled directly on it. It's an easy and inexpensive way to wipe out the pesky weeds that pop up in the cracks of sidewalks, patios, and driveways. Borax does not discriminate, so the weed-killing solution must be used with discretion. Do not use when rain is in the forecast to avoid a runoff that could harm other desirable plants.
To eradicate irritating weeds, mix ½ cup of borax with 1 gallon of water, and apply it to the base of the plant as a liquid herbicide.
When household rugs and carpeting smell less than fresh and clean, this borax and baking soda solution can help eliminate even the nastiest odors.
Create a heavy, odor-lifting absorbent carpet cleaning powder by combining 3 cups of baking soda, 3 cups of borax, and 20-30 drops of any combination of your favorite essential oils. My personal choice is a blend of an equal amount of frankincense, clary sage, and cedar essential oils. The best way to mix the solution is to place all ingredients in a wide-mouth plastic jug.
Choose a jug with a handle for ease of shaking. Shake well. Sprinkle the freshening mixture evenly across rugs and carpets. Allow the powder to sit on the rugs or carpets for at least thirty minutes, or overnight if you prefer, to absorb the most odors possible.
The mixture also soaks up trapped-in dirt and grease. Vacuum rugs and carpets to whisk grime and odor away. The borax in the mixture also kills fleas, earwigs, stink bugs, and dust mites that tend to hide in rugs and carpeting.
Sprinkle the above absorbent powder in boots and camping gear stored for the winter. Not only will the inexpensive powder get rid of musty odors, but it also keeps spiders, bugs, and other creepy-crawly varmints out of your gear. Before use, give the items sprinkled with powder a good shake outdoors to remove any residue.

Spring is well and truly here. Buds are appearing and flowers are already in bloom. After the long drab winter, lots of us will be itching to get back out into the garden. While you're planning your gardening activities, be sure to yourself a copy of The Garden Visitor's Handbook 2017, published by the National Garden Scheme (NGS).
This year the NGS celebrates its 90th anniversary and to mark the occasion, it has given itself a brand new look. The famous Yellow Book featuring the thousands of open gardens and more has a bright new modern appearance – as does the website. Check it out and see for yourself!
The Garden Visitor's Handbook 2017 provides a comprehensive listing, county by county, of all the gardens – large and small, from stately homes to tiny cottage gardens which are throwing wide their gates to welcome visitors, and raising millions of pounds for charity. Eight-two pence in every pound raised goes directly to the beneficiaries. More than £50 million has been donated to nursing charities since 1927.
Some 3,700 private gardens will be taking part this year – so there's bound to be a garden near you! Maybe you'd like your garden to be included next year. Check the website to see how to go about this.

Charging just a small admission fee, meandering through a normally private garden can be fascinating and inspirational. The house owner will have been preparing for this special day by making sure their garden is as good as it can be, and may well have cuttings and plants for sale as well as delicious refreshments. All the money raised goes to the NGS and in turn to the wonderful nursing charities that it supports. This year a record £3 million will be shared by the charities it supports. These are:
The Queen's Nursing Institute who founded the National Gardens Scheme in the 1920s, to raise money to support district nursing. The two charities have have developed strong ties and a shared heritage ever since. This year is a very special occasion for the QNI as it celebrates its 130th anniversary.
Macmillan Cancer Support who acknowledge the NGS as its largest donor. Since they formed a partnership in 1985 the NGS have donated over £16 million to Macmillan ensuring that they continue caring and supporting people with cancer.
Marie Curie care and support through terminal illness also share a wonderful partnership with the NGS. Since 1997, the NGS have donated almost £8 million to Marie Curie helping them to continue to provide that lifeline for people living with terminal illness and their families.

Hospice UK is another charity to benefit from the NGS open gardens scheme. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the modern hospice movement. Hospice UK supports more than 220 hospices across the UK, so that they can deliver high quality care to 360,000 children, young people, adults and their families every year.
Carers Trust is another worthy charity that supports the UK's seven million unpaid carers. It celebrates its fifth anniversary this year and the NGS has been instrumental in helping the charity grow to the point that Carers Trust and its network support more than 500,000 across the UK.
Perennial the Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society which incorporates the Royal Fund for Gardener's Children, also benefit from the NGS, who are the largest supporter of Perennial. It has made a massive difference to the lives of thousands of current, former and retired horticulturists and their families.
Parkinsons UK who first became a guest charity of the NGS in 2013, were last year honoured to become a permanent beneficiary. To date, this blossoming relationship has raised £622,000 enabling Parkinsons UK to fund specialist Parkinson's nurses and give a lifeline to thousands of people across the UK.
NGS Handbook
In 2017 the NGS will also be supporting the MS Society, the National Autistic Society, and other smaller charities. But this can only be done by you and I heading along to one or two of the Open Gardens through the year. Personally, I can't wait.

After 15 years Ucchie finally has a signature frame. Well deserved! Ares built a prototype of the Good Speed frame. As we read his first frame was the Ares Ashura with which he competed in the amateur class of a Spaceark contest. Now 14 years later he got his own Ares frame. Trivia: back then he liked the movie "The Rock" and Stanley Goodspeed is the name of the main actor Nicolas Cage in the movie.

Q: Highstock yaxis title on "high left" I am making a Highstock chart using Highcharts, I need the title on the top left corner, just like Highcharts does.

In highcharts I can do it using yAxis.title.align: 'high', as you can see in this snippet

Highcharts.chart('container', {

    chart: {
        type: 'column'
    },
    title: {
        text: 'yAxis.title.offset is set to zero'
    },
    xAxis: {
        categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
    },

    yAxis: {
        lineWidth: 1,
        tickWidth: 1,
        title: {
            align: 'high',
            offset: 0,
            text: 'Rainfall (mm)',
            rotation: 0,
            y: -10
        }
    },

    series: [{
        data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
    }]

});

This doesn't work in a Highstock chart, using same options, as you can see on the following snippet:

Highcharts.stockChart('container', {

    chart: {
        type: 'column'
    },
    title: {
        text: 'title offset is set to zero and align is high'
    },
    xAxis: {
        categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
    },

    yAxis: {
        lineWidth: 1,
        tickWidth: 1,
        top: "10%",
        height: "90%",
        title: {
            align: 'high',
            offset: 0,
            text: 'Rainfall (mm)',
            rotation: 0,
            y: -10
        }

Overnight Energy: EPA to propose Clean Power Plan repeal | Pruitt takes on wind, solar tax credits | Committee to mark up antiquities reform
Myron Ebell • 01/31/2018
The Hill quoted Myron Ebell on the effects which the 'Clean Power' Plan raised consumer rates for electricity and threatened stability of America's electrical grid.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Scott Pruitt announced Monday that the formal proposal to repeal the Clean Power Plan is coming soon.
Pruitt told a Kentucky audience that he'll sign the proposal Tuesday, kicking off the process toward undoing one of former President Obama's signature priorities.
"The Clean Power Plan, it wasn't about regulating to make things regular," Pruitt said Monday at an event with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), to raucous applause. "It was truly about regulating to pick winners and losers."
The Obama rule was expected to significantly hurt the coal industry since coal-fired power plants are the biggest carbon emitters. But Pruitt's announcement was also a rebuke of what he and Republicans see as Obama's "war on coal." He and other Republicans are opposed to what they see as numerous regulations that have hurt the coal industry, which was already reeling from competition from cheap natural gas.
Myron Ebell, head of the energy and environment program at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, cheered the proposed repeal as a step toward getting rid of the rule completely.
"If it had gone into effect, the 'Clean Power' Plan rule to limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas power plants would have been one of the most expensive regulations ever imposed, causing electric rates for consumers to go up and threatening the reliability of the electric grid," he said in a statement.

Fitbit Comparison 2019 – Which Fitbit Should You Buy?
Fitbit is the it-brand that most people think of when they think of fitness trackers. But with their wide range of trackers with different functions and styles, it can be hard to decide which Fitbit will work best for your active lifestyle.
We took a close look at all of the features of the different Fitbits available and broke it down so you can pick out the perfect one for tracking all of your exercise, steps, and sleep.
The entire Fitbit family of products syncs with the same apps, so everyone in your exercise group or family can compete with each other in challenges and compare stats. Find the perfect Fitbit for anyone below.
This chart provides a quick breakdown of each of Fitbit's current fitness trackers. If you want to read our in-depth Fitbit reviews, you'll find them below the chart.
The Zip is the budget Fitbit. It's the simplest to use and a great option for anyone looking for a cheap activity tracker or a more basic pedometer type tracker.
The LCD display conveniently shows the current day's step count and also the time. When you reach your step goal for the day it buzzes in congratulation. Sync it to the free Fitbit app and track your daily stats to improve your activity over time.
This makes a great gift for older parents who aren't very tech-savvy but are looking for an easy way to track their activity and steps over time. Since it has the option to sync to a computer, it's also great for people who don't use smartphones.
If you'd rather wear your fitness tracker on your wrist than on a clip, the Fitbit Flex 2 may be the tracker for you. This comfortable and easy to wear activity tracker sacrifices the LCD display for LED lights that show you your progress toward the day's step goals. But you still have the Fitbit app to easily track your steps, activity, and sleep on your smartphone or tablet. This is a recent update to the original Fitbit Flex that combines the features users loved about the original with some new functionality.
The big difference with the Flex 2 is a brand new ultra-slim tracker design that is fully customizable with a ton of different bands to personalize your Fitbit or match any occasion. This includes bracelets and necklaces that look like fashionable jewelry instead of utilitarian trackers. Track your activity without sacrificing on style.
I'm sure you're wondering, what's new with the Fitbit Flex 2? Well, the big thing is: this activity tracker is now waterproof–or as they call it "swimproof." You can finally wear your Fitbit in the shower or while swimming in the ocean or pool without destroying your tracker. I have a feeling this one is going to become very popular with swimmers.
It also features SmartTrack, which automatically recognizes certain activities (including swimming) and tracks your workout for you automatically. There's also smartphone notifications in addition to the silent alarms. All these features come without sacrificing the battery life of the original model.
Buy the Flex if: you prefer a wristband tracker, you like tracking your activity on your smartphone, you like to customize with different band styles, you want a waterproof fitness tracker, you swim as a form of exercise.
The Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker takes the activity bands to the next level. Utilizing a similar OLED display as the Charge, and features like step count and auto sleep monitoring, the Alta adds a few new features that are worth the upgrade.
The first big feature is SmartTrack, which automatically recognizes what exercise you're doing whether it's running or cardio. Alta also has move reminders, giving you a gentle buzz when you've been sitting too long so you can take a quick walk. Also in addition to call alerts, you can also receive text messages and calendar alerts directly on your Alta band.
Alta comes with its own range of accessory bands as well, so you can customize your look and switch up your style whenever you feel like it.
This year Fitbit has updated their popular Alta model to include wrist based heart rate tracking. It comes with all the features you love, but the PurePulse Heart Rate Monitoring gives you more accurate workout tracking and insights into your cardiovascular health. The heart rate tracking also gives you Sleep Stages tracking, which shows the time spent in light, deep, and REM sleep to give you unparalleled sleep quality tacking. This tracker has a display, allowing you to check in real time your heart rate, steps, and other stats, as well as see the time. The automatic exercise recognition will make sure you get credit for all of your workouts without any additional work for you. Plus, it's already tracking your steps, distance, and active minutes so it can keep you moving throughout the day.
If you want to stay connected but aren't interested in an expensive smartwatch, the Alta HR will provide you with text, call, and calendar alerts. With hundreds of interchangeable bands to choose from, you can make your Fitbit Alta HR match any outfit, so you can track at the gym, the office, or even when you're out on the town.
Fitbit took the best features of their Charge and Charge HR bands and combined them together this year to make their Charge 2 fitness band. The big selling feature with the Charge 2 is the PurePulse continuous heart rate monitoring. It tracks your heart rate throughout the day to track your calories burned and also to give you a Cardio Fitness Score to help you improve your fitness level over time. Your exercise tracker will also notice when your heart rate is elevated due to stress and lead you through a guided breathing exercise to help calm your mind and body.
That heart rate monitoring combined with multi-sport modes make it perfect for people who lead active lifestyles and like to vary up their workout routine. The Charge 2 tracks running, biking, and weights and SmartTrack automatically recognizes the activity and records the workout for you. The OLED tap display makes it easy to see real-time stats while you're exercising and get your workout results without syncing to your smartphone.
If GPS tracking is important to your running or cycling, you can sync up the Charge 2 with your phone to get real-time stats like pace and distance on the band display, while a map is recorded of your route.
In addition to all those fabulous features, the Fitbit Charge 2 features many of the features longtime Fitbit users love like move reminders, smartphone notifications, wireless syncing to smartphones or computers, and interchangeable bands. This model is a great replacement for the previous Charge offerings.
Notable features: interchangeable bands, PurePulse wrist-based heart rate, Cardio Fitness Score, silent alarms & auto sleep tracking, 5 day battery life, multi-sport modes, move reminders, SmartTrack auto activity tracking, OLED Tap Display with on-screen stats, guided breathing prompts based on heart rate, smartphone notifications.
Apple needs to watch out, because Fitbit is coming for their smartwatch crown. Fitbit's Ionic Smartwatch is a serious competitor to other high-end smartwatches for sports enthusiasts and fitness minded users. They've pack in a ton of features everyone will love.
Let's start with the ways the Ionic will help you stay fit and active. Fitbit coach gives you dynamic personal workouts to keep you motivated at the gym or at home. This is an all around health tracker. It includes all of the features you expect in an activity tracker, like step counting, setting goals, and workout tracking. In addition, it has continuous heart rate monitoring to give you real time info as well as more accurate sleep data. The built in Fitbit Coach is perfect to guide you through a personalized workout to meet your fitness goals. This is great for fitness enthusiasts who like to work out in many different ways. The built in GPS is perfect for runners and cyclists to keep track of distance and pace.
As far as other cool features go, the Ionic offers music storage of up to 300 songs so you always have your favorite music ready to motivate you through your workout. This smartwatch is also packed with apps and can pair with your smartphone for smart notifications on your wrist. Another big feature is Fitbit Pay, which lets you pay with just the tap of your wrist at any store that accepts contactless payments.
If you're trying to decide between the Apple Watch and the Ionic, here's the big points to consider. Ionic has a better battery life (4 days vs 18 hours) and offers sleep tracking. The Apple Watch, however, is a good choice if you already use a lot of Apple products and have an iPhone. The Series 3 Apple Watch is also available with a stand-alone SIM card, so it can be used to make calls and send texts without a phone nearby.
It's no surprise that Fitbit has released another smartwatch to compete with the others on the market. They've taken some cues from Apple's designs making a lighter, sleeker smartwatch centered around fitness and health tracking with interchangeable bands and customizable displays. And the feature you may be most excited about: it's swimproof! That's right, if you're a swimmer you can use your Versa smartwatch in and out of the pool. With the touchscreen you can track all your stats on your wrist, plus you still have access to the Fitbit smartphone app for all the indepth tracking and stats you need. The Versa also provides personal coaching to keep you moving and help you meet daily goals.
Since fitness is our main focus here, let's talk about the features that make the Versa unique from the rest of the Fitbit line-up. With over 15 built in exercise modes, the Versa can give you real-time stats for activities like swimming and running. If you need inspiration, you can follow the dynamic on-screen workouts which coach you through every move. If you're a runner or a cyclist, the Versa can sync with GPS from your phone to provide you pace and distance stats.
If meditation and relieving stress is important to you, the Versa has guided breathing sessions, which uses your heart rate to give you personalized instructions. For women, it has built in health tracking so you can track your cycle and even get reminders before your period starts.
What about the fun features you want a smartwatch to have? Music is one of the most important parts of my workouts and I love that you can store 300 songs directly on the Versa and play them with Bluetooth headphones. Fitbit has also brought features like call, calendar, text, and app alerts to your wrist. Plus, it features Fitbit Pay on their special editions so you can pay with your watch. With a four day battery life, it has many other smartwatches beat. The Versa is a fantastic smartwatch and is really giving the Apple Watch some competition.
Now your kids can get in on the fun with this fitness tracker designed especially for children over the age of 8. If you're having a hard time motivating your kid to put down their smartphone and exercise, the Ace can be a great motivator for them. Fitbit has designed Ace to motivate kids to reach the 60 minutes of daily activity recommended by the CDC, using 24 hour activity tracking to push them to earn daily goals and virtual badges. They can monitor their progress on the easy to read display and also get move reminders to get up and go each hour.
The Fitbit Ace is great to inspire competition between siblings or friends. They can compete with each other on step challenges and win virtual trophies. They can also send messages and cheers to other family members to motivate each other. For parents, the new Fitbit Family accounts allow you to check in with your kid's progress at any time. And your child can also use the app to check their stats and the badges they've earned. This band can be synced with the parent's smartphone or the child's. If you are worried about your kid getting enough sleep, this fitness band also tracks sleep length and quality. Plus the Ace is showerproof so you don't have to worry about your kid wearing it all day and all night. The Fitbit Ace packs in all the features older kids need to stay active and fit.
One thing to note: many parents have found the included band is a bit small for kids older than 8 years old. Luckily, the Fitbit Ace is compatible with third-party bands, so you can easily get a larger band with your child outgrows the included one.
Looking to get a Fitbit to help you lose or maintain your weight? You should check out the Fitbit Aria 2 WiFi Smart Scale. It automatically and accurately tracks your weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index and syncs with your Fitbit account.

Many holiday booking sites, travel agents and airlines advertise last minute deals to grab a bargain and save money booking last minute is often the most desirable way to travel. The problem that many travellers are facing is they book these fantastic deals and realise that their passport has expired, is damaged or it has been lost in a move.
This has led to a large increase in passengers being caught out losing time, money and sometimes their entire holiday. There are plenty of ways to avoid this from happening to you and help and advice on what you can do if you have booked travel within the next 4 weeks and need an urgent passport application.
If you are looking at booking a family holiday or any travel plans throughout the year it is important to remember to check not only yours but your family's passports before you making any booking. Below we have listed several things that you need to check on your passport before making any travel arrangements.
It is important to know weather your passport is damaged or it just has reasonable wear and tear. If you are unsure we have a list below that will clearly show you which is which and weather or not you need to renew your passport.
Personal details are indecipherable (non-readable).
The laminate has lifted enough to allow the possibility of photo substitution.

If you checked your passport and you do need to apply or renew your passport there are few things you need to look at before you make any application for your passport. One of the first things you need to think about is when you want to travel, if you are travelling within the next 4 weeks then you need to careful that if you apply using the standard application that will you actually receive your passport in time to travel.
If your travel arrangements are 4 weeks or more away than you can apply using a standard application either online or by post. We are currently in peek season for passport applications and the average waiting time at the moment is 2-4 weeks.
If you wish to renew your passport by filling in a hand-written form you will need to obtain a Standard Passport Renew Form from your local Post Office branch (please note that this must be a large town branch, smaller sub-branches in local shops will not often stock these forms).
When applying online it will ask you to fill in various personal details including your full name, address and your previous passport details (if applicable). In certain circumstances such as first time and child applications, details or parent and grandparent's details will also be requested.
If you need your passport back within 4 weeks then using the services above will not be suitable for your needs as you run the risk of it not being returned in time. To avoid this we always recommend never booking any travel plans until you have received your passport but if you have already made plans then you can use the urgent services.
When attending the appointment, it will last approximately 15-20 minutes, if you have opted for the 1 Day Premium Service then you will be given a receipt and will be asked to return after 4 hours to pick up your new passport. If you have opted for the 7 Day Fast-Track Service then the new passport will be delivered to you within 7 days via secure courier service (please note that this 7-day period does include weekends however bank holidays may affect this time-frame).
Many customers will often use the standard application process only to realise that their passport may not arrive in time to travel or in fact their travel date is sooner than they expected, due to this they then wish to use an urgent service, however this can be a problem.
IMPORTANT! If you have already completed your application online or by post but now wish to use an urgent service you will first need to cancel your original (online or postal) application first. Please do not try to apply again or use any urgent services until you have done this first.
Once you have sent this letter you will need to call HM Passport Office directly on: 0300 222 0000 to confirm it has been cancelled prior to attending an appointment.
When using the urgent services it is important to know which type of passport you are applying for as certain passport types are only available on the Fast-Track 1 Week Service and not on the Premium 1 Day Service.
If you are applying for any of the below you are only able to use the Fast-Track service.
If you are unsure please check our urgent services page.
Don't be caught out this Summer, be prepared with your passport application and don't apply online unless you are sure you have more than 4 weeks before you travel.
