It's time once again for the Watcher's Council's 'Weasel Of The Week' nominations, where we pick our choices to compete for the award of the famed Golden Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday , tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations!
Hollywood Wack Job And Dictator/Psycopath Groupie Sean Penn!!
The Noisy Room : I nominate Sean Penn for hearting every dictator and commie under the sun. His latest is El Chapo, who he inadvertently helped capture because he was interviewing him for a magazine that would make the drug pin look like some kind of hero. Then Penn jetted off to North Korea to pal around with another psychopath. What about violating the Logan Act? Don't we charge anyone with treason anymore? Geez.
Penn has met with one of Saddam Hussein's top aides, then-Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. Penn's opposition to the Iraq war led him to bond with the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an ardent socialist who once suggested that the actor would make a great ambassador to his country. Penn's other forays into political activism include his foul-mouthed call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush when he won the first Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award in 2006. He also has a fondness for the Castro brothers. Finally, he is buds with the Russians who are touting that he helped capture El Chapo. Uh no. That's not what happened. However, for being a commie Hollywood weasel, I wouldn't want Penn to go home empty handed – give him a golden weasel. Twice.
and went right ahead with the easing.
Some members of Congress were told.
The State Dept. does not deny that the U.S. may have sold the missile to Cuba.
Sweden's Anti-Semitic Foreign Minister Margot Wallström!!
JoshuaPundit : Ahhh, when in doubt blame Israel. And by extension, the Jews of course.
Margot Wallström is the rabidly socialist Foreign minister of Sweden. She claims to be a 'feminist' who favors 'democracy' but was instrumental in getting Sweden to recognize 'Palestine', a country without borders as a 'state.' Palestine, by the way, is a place where a kleptocrat dictator named Mahmoud Abbas is now in year 11 of a four-year-term, where what passes for law is based on sharia and where things like honor killings, torture, and the oppression of women occur with distressing regularity. But hey, let's not mention any of that. Because it's all the fault of Israel! Or so you would think if you listened to Minister Wallström.
A few weeks later, she accused Israeli security forces of carry out extra-judicial killings in defending themselves and others against – wait for it – Arabs whom call themselves Palestinians whom were actually in the process of murdering as many Israelis as possible in vicious terrorist attacks.
Her latest bon mot? Today, after Swedish member of parliament Jan Björklund challenged her frequent obsession with Israel as being unfair and said that it had damaged Sweden's diplomatic efforts in the region, she doubled down, saying, "It is vital that there is a thorough, credible investigation into these deaths in order to clarify and bring about possible accountability." Obviously she has no interest in investigating the role of incitement and collusion by Abbas and the PLO for 'possible accountability' as a cause of the deaths of Israelis.
Quite the Weasel, Ms. Wallström!


The fundraising page was posted on Saturday for Landen Hoffmann of Woodbury Minn. What a monster to grab an innocent child and do such a frightful thing! If you'd like to donate, the link is attached to this story.
Police have said the boy remains in the hospital with serious injuries. He's still receiving care.
"(Through) our investigative work and witnesses that we've spoken to, we feel confident saying that the suspect threw the child off of the third floor. "But as to why he did that - it's still something we're looking into and trying to figure out".
Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, 24, who has a history of mental health issues, is being held in the Hennepin County jail on suspicion of attempted murder.
Witnesses told police the child had been either thrown or pushed and that the suspect had taken off running. He said she was screaming, "Everybody pray, everybody pray. Oh, my God, my baby, someone threw him over the edge, '" Brian Johnson told WCCO.
Potts said Bloomington police had not had any contact with the suspect since 2015, until Friday's incident. "We started this GoFundMe for their family to help cover the vast medical costs and rehabilitation costs for the long ahead".
Landen "has a very long road to recovery ahead of him".
A family is horrified after a "monster" allegedly threw a five-year-old boy from a third-floor balcony in a shopping centre. Police say they have a 24-year-old man in custody.
It happened at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota shortly after 10am local time on Friday. In another case, Aranda assaulted a woman inside Twin City Grill after she refused to buy him food. In this case, he started fighting with the restaurant's manager, causing frightened diners to leave, according to CNN.


Business Plans Without Borders aka Borders.org is a novel non-profit intended to provide wind in the sail for startups launched by immigrants, refugees and under-served inner-city entrepreneurs. Created by long-time finance industry veteran Paul Azous, the altruistic initiative defies current political in-sensibilities and embraces the simple notion that small businesses are the lifeblood of a vibrant economy.
The spirited debate surrounding immigrants vs. legal immigrants, nationalism vs. populism and let's not forget the philosophy embraced by White House Svengali Steve Bannon's and his leaning to 'traditionalism*', MarketsMuse Curators were inspired to spotlight a news story profiling what is perhaps an easy idea to digest: it's all about altruism, or at least that is the thesis being advanced by a long time finance industry consultant who has accrued more domestic and international frequent flier miles than most.
Per below news release, Azous and his wife launched the non-profit in Q4 2016 with the goal of providing business plan preparation, mentoring as well as awarding startup grant funding to inner-city entrepreneurs as well as incoming immigrants and refugees who are able to meet merit-based criteria and applicant requests are reviewed by a volunteer Advisory Board comprised of start-up gurus and thought leaders from across various industries. Azous is looking to aggressively add to the advisory network whose members not only review applicants, those advisors are also committing to match grants extended by the non-profit.
SEATTLE, Feb. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Serial entrepreneur and veteran business plan advisor Paul Azous announced that he has recently launched a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting the most vulnerable in society with their business startup needs. The organization, Business Plans Without Borders assists refugee, immigrant, and inner-city, low income aspiring entrepreneurs with business plan writing assistance in the form of business writing collaboration, the allocation of grants and facilitating networking opportunities with seasoned industry professionals. Aspiring entrepreneurs who qualify for assistance can apply directly via the organization's website, www.borders.org . Grants are awarded based on merit.
Paul Azous is an 18 year finance industry veteran and Founder/CEO of Prospectus.com, a global consulting firm that assists startups and later stage private and public companies with a broad range of professional services, from business plan and prospectus writing to initial public offering and stock exchange listings. During the past 15 years, Paul and his firm have guided scores of companies across multiple industries and geographic regions in helping to launch start-up and fast-growth businesses. His primary focus has been on developing business plan summaries, financial and business models, conducting company valuations and assisting with debt or equity offerings. Through a global consultancy framework, Azous has been credited with fast-tracking nearly 5,000 companies in over 50 countries with their business planning and investor documentation needs.
Entrepreneurs within Border.org's target demographic typically lack the resources necessary to launch a successful business, even if the business fills a market need. This leaves them unable to raise sufficient funding to adequately develop and market their products or services and consequently, those initiatives are short-lived. Borders.org assists with the most important document that a business owner or entrepreneur must have: the business plan. A business plan enables entrepreneurs to build a roadmap for their company, and is a necessary component to raise capital from qualified investors and/or lending institutions. Borders.org guides entrepreneurs through the strategic business planning process and links them with a wide network of volunteer industry professionals who provide free business startup services, including legal work, accounting, and marketing.

« Prev Two Epistles from Innocent, the Pope of Rome, of… Next »
Chapter XXVI.—Two Epistles from Innocent, the Pope of Rome, of which one was addressed to John Chrysostom, and the other to the Clergy of Constantinople concerning John.
Innocent,16161616 Independent chapter; cf. Pallad. Dialog. 1–3. bishop of Rome,16171617 Innocent I., a.d. 402–417. was extremely indignant when apprised of the measures that had been adopted against John, and condemned 416the whole proceedings. He then turned his attention to the convocation of an œcumenical council, and wrote to John and to the clergy of Constantinople in part. Subjoined are the two letters, precisely as I found them, translated from the Latin into Greek.
"Innocent, to the beloved brother John.
"Although one conscious of his own innocence ought to expect every blessing and to ask for mercy from God, yet it seems well to us to send you a befitting letter by Cyriacus, the deacon, and to counsel you to long-suffering, lest the contumely cast upon you should have more power in subduing your courage than the testimony of a good conscience in encouraging you to hope. It is not requisite to teach you, who are the teacher and pastor of so great a people, that God always tries the best of men to see whether they will continue in the height of patience, and will not give way to any labor of suffering; and how true it is that the conscience is a firm thing against all that befalls us unjustly, and unless one be moved in these misfortunes by patience, he furnishes a ground for evil surmising. For he ought to endure everything, who first trusts in God, and then in his own conscience. Especially when an excellent and good man can exercise himself in endurance, he cannot be overcome; for the Holy Scriptures guard his thoughts, and the devout lections, which we expound to the people, abound in examples. These Scriptures assure us that almost all the saints are variously and continuously afflicted, and are tested by some investigation, and so have come to the crown of patience. Let thy conscience encourage thy love, O most honored brother; for that faculty amid tribulations possesses an encouragement for virtue. For since Christ, the Master, is observing, the purified conscience will station you in the haven of peace."
"Innocent, the bishop, to the presbyters, deacons, and all the clergy, and to the people of the church of Constantinople under John, the bishop, greeting to you, beloved brethren.
"From the letters of your love that you forwarded to me through Germanus, the presbyter, and Cassianus, the deacon, I have learned, with anxious solicitude, the scenes of evil which you have placed before our eyes. I have frequently seen during its repeated reading with what calamities and labors the faith is wearied. Only the consolation of patience heals such a state of affairs. Our God will shortly put an end to such tribulations, and they will eventually tend to your profit. But we recognized with approbation your proposition, placed at the beginning of the letter of your love; to wit, that this very consolation is necessary, and embraces many proofs of your patience; for our consolation, which we ought to have conveyed, you have anticipated in your epistle. Our Lord is wont to furnish this patience to the suffering, in order that when they fall into tribulations, the servants of Christ may encourage themselves; for they should reason within themselves that what they suffer has happened previously to the saints. And even we ourselves derive comfort from your letters, for we are not strangers to your sufferings; but we are disciplined in you. Who, indeed, can endure to witness the errors introduced by those who were bound especially to be enthusiasts for the quiet of peace and for its concord? But far from maintaining peace, they expel guiltless priests from the front seat of their own churches. John, our brother and fellow-minister and your bishop, has been the first to suffer this unjust treatment without being allowed a hearing. No accusation was brought, none was heard. What proposition was it that was nullified, so that no show of judgment might arise or be sought? Others were seated in the places of living priests, as though any who began from such discord would be able to possess anything or do anything rightly in any one's judgment. We have never known such audacities to have been done by our fathers. They rather prohibited such innovations by refusing to give power to any one to be ordained in another's place while the occupant was living, since he is unable to be a bishop who is unjustly substituted.
"With respect to the observance of canons, we declare that those defined at Nicæa are alone16181618 The reckless historical sense of the West has a strong proof here. entitled to the obedience and recognition of the Catholic Church. If any individuals should attempt to introduce other canons, at variance with those of Nicæa, and such as are a compilation by heretics, such canons ought to be rejected by the Catholic Church, for it is not lawful to add the inventions of heretics to the Catholic canons. For they always wish to belittle the decision of the Nicene fathers through opponents and lawless men. We say, then, that the canons we have censured are not only to be disregarded, but to be condemned with the dogmas of heretics and schismatics, even as they have been formerly condemned at the council of Sardica by the bishops who were our predecessors. For it would be better, O most honored brethren, that these transactions be condemned, than that any actions should be confirmed contrary to the canons.
"What measures ought we to adopt now in the present circumstances against such deeds? It is necessary that there be a synodical investigation, and a synod we long ago said should be gathered. There are no other means of arrest417ing the fury of the tempest. In order that we may attain this it will be profitable meanwhile for that healing to be exalted which comes by the will of the great God and of His Christ, our Lord. We shall thus behold the cessation of all the woes which have been excited by the envy of the devil, and which have served as trials for our faith. If we remain steadfast in the faith, there is nothing that we ought not to expect from the Lord. We are constantly watching for the opportunity of convening an œcumenical council, whereby, in accordance with the will of God, an end may be put to these harassing commotions. Let us, then, endure in the interval, and, fortified by the wall of patience, let us trust in the help of our God for the restoration of all things.
"We had previously been made acquainted with all that you have related concerning your trials, by our fellow-bishops Demetrius, Cyriacus, Eulysius, and Palladius, who visited Rome at different periods and are now with us; from them we had learned all the details by a complete inquiry."
1616 Independent chapter; cf. Pallad. Dialog. 1–3.
1617 Innocent I., a.d. 402–417.
1618 The reckless historical sense of the West has a strong proof here.

When you don't talk about a problem, it can rear up and can kill you.
That's why former congressman Patrick Kennedy came out about his addiction after crashing into a traffic barrier on Capitol Hill back in 2006. And why he's just written a book about mental illness and addiction, centered on his own family's relationship with these issues.
Few families are more secretive than the Kennedys. The Kennedys started out bootlegging in the '20s. And there's any number of conspiracies surrounding their dynasty, fame, and fortune.
He discusses the "pathology of silence" that happens when a family ignores a problem for so long, pretending like everything's normal. Meanwhile, you've got an addict in the house destroying the lives of himself and his family. That isn't normal. It's a disease, but nobody talks about it. Silence is the status quo.
Our economy suffers from its own addiction, as do we.
We've been addicted to debt and Keynesian economic policies since the 1970s. By a substantial margin, debt has grown faster than the economy for four decades.
This is the very nature of addiction, and denial of said addiction.
EVERY addict goes through denial. And ALL debt bubbles in history have ended in periods of austerity, when we're finally forced to admit our problems… get the addiction out of our system… re-balance, get straight, and grow again.
That is the picture of our economy over the past several years. We've been trying to cheat the system. And now it's coming back on us.
It's human nature to strive to be better, and have a better life. But we also have a natural inclination to cheat to accelerate the trend.
Instead of getting ahead through hard work, innovation, and better technologies and systems, we use questionable strategies like borrowing more than we can afford.
Then when such debt goes beyond its natural means and sustainability, we lie. We keep cheating. We do anything to keep up the high.
We're like frogs in slowly boiling water. We don't realize we're in trouble until it's too late to jump.
It's natural (and fiscally responsible) to finance your house over 30 years while you live in it and raise your family.
It's natural to finance a car over five to six years through its natural use.
But it is NOT natural to borrow against rising home values to speculate in real estate, or in technology stocks that are totally unproven, or new businesses and markets that are the same.
The baby boomers drove our economy and the great boom we enjoyed from 1983 to 2007 as they ascended predictably in their productivity, income and spending cycle.
Then from the mid-1990s forward, it was characterized increasingly by speculation, rather than productive investment in the future.
Everyone wanted to make money from stock or real estate speculation and to retire early or stop working forever. We became addicted to the idea and the means of achieving it.
The truth is that we should be retiring at age 75, not 65, especially given our much higher life expectancies today. And governments should be actively working to restructure our massive debts in the most civilized manner, like a "Chapter 11" debt restructuring, rather than flooding the economy with artificial money.
Retiring early and on speculation is not the "American Dream." We've been seduced by Keynesian economics for too long, and it simply can't continue.
We've grown out of touch with reality after nearly three decades of the highest growth, productivity gains and investment gains in history. But such booms and debt bubbles are always, and I mean always, followed by periods of austerity and deflation so the economy can re-balance and deleverage.
To get us back to reality, it will require a major financial crisis already in the making… not more of the crack we're addicted to.
As I said in an update to Boom & Bust subscribers this morning, I believe we've only seen the beginning of a larger crash in stocks, with the economy and real estate to follow.
From here on until the next bull market, you should be out of passive stocks and risky investments, and only invest using active strategies like the ones we house here at Dent Research, or take a tip from the smart money and sell short to some degree.
Our newest analyst, John Del Vecchio, has developed a system to do just that, and with stocks at the breaking point, it's a system ideally suited for today's markets. Read the details here.

Lil Wayne Banned From Wynn Las Vegas
Jordan Bach
Nov/09/2010
Recording artist Lil Wayne has been banned from the Wynn in Las Vegas according to TMZ.com.
"We're told a rep for the Wynn informed a member of Drake's entourage that Lil Wayne would not be allowed on the property -- and if he tried to enter, he'd be removed. As for why Wayne was persona non grata -- sources tell us Wynn execs didn't want any trouble ... knowing Wayne is on a very short legal leash, i.e. no booze for three years.
The ban never became an issue ... a rep for Weezy tells us he chilled at the Palms Casino Resort and was not "scheduled" to appear at any events. A rep for the Wynn had no comment."
Lil Wayne is better known as Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. At the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo, The B.G.'z, with B.G.
The rapper is no stranger to controversy. Following a performance at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho, Lil Wayne was arrested October 5, 2007 on felony fugitive charges after Georgia authorities accused the rapper of possessing a controlled substance. The incident was later described as a "mix-up" and the fugitive charges were dropped.
On January 23, 2008, Lil Wayne was arrested alongside two others. His tour bus was stopped by Border Patrol agents near Yuma, Arizona. A K-9 Unit recovered 105 grams (3.7 oz) of marijuana, almost 29 grams (1.0 oz) of cocaine, 41 grams (1.4 oz) of MDMA, and $22,000 in cash. Lil Wayne was charged with four felonies: possession of narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia.
On December 18, 2009, Wayne and 11 others were detained at the Falfurrias, Texas border patrol checkpoint after an unknown amount of marijuana was found on two of his tour buses.

Of loving and giving
"Extend love. Pass on hope."
Tin and RJ have been living by this goal even before they became a couple.
"You get a sense of fulfillment when you become part of someone's life transformation and when people are reminded of God's love for them because of what you do," Tin shares.
Tin and RJ are World Vision's sponsors for 10 years now. They have been separately sponsoring children before they met. Tin started when she was 23 while RJ sponsored a child named Angeline from Cavite.
"I remember looking at the picture folders and how the photo of Angeline easily captured me. There was an instant connection," recalls RJ.
Over the years, both Tin and RJ made sure to catch up with their respective sponsored children by writing them letters.
"Two weeks into the sponsorship program, I met her. I've read a lot of stories about sponsors like me meeting their sponsored child, but it's different if you experience it yourself. I was particularly touched when we were eating and that child would save some of her foods for her siblings," shares RJ, underscoring the power of giving that he learned from Angeline, and at the same time being reminded of how his sponsorship is making a difference in her life.
Tin also got the chance to meet her sponsored child from Zambales.
Tin and RJ met at work.
Their advocacies, their love for children brought them together. They started as colleagues whose friendship was nurtured over time.
After five years of friendship and courtship, they got married in 2017.
"By the time we got married, our individual sponsored children have graduated and their communities where World Vision operates have become economically stable," Tin shares.
World Vision's child sponsorship program operates on a community-based approach. The pooled funds from sponsors are used to implement different initiatives on education, economic development, disaster risk reduction, health and nutrition, among others, that empower families and the communities as a whole to create an enabling environment for children.
"We were newlyweds and didn't have a child yet, so we decided to sponsor our first child as a married couple," shares RJ.
"Mary Joy has a charming smile and I think that was one of the reasons we were immediately drawn to her," Tin smiles. The couple also describes the child as someone who loves reading and writing.
Asked how they are able to stay true to their commitment to their sponsored child, especially amid the economic blow of COVID-19, RJ answers, "It's our priority. Our sponsorship pledge is a non-negotiable in our budget."
The couple agrees that giving is a journey and every journey has its own story.
"Child sponsorship with World Vision is a journey of life transformation. You do not just get to see how someone's life is being changed, but, you also see how your life as a sponsor is transformed along the way," Tin says.
Like how parents would do their best for their child, RJ and Tin continue to try harder to connect with their sponsored child Mary Joy. To them, loving is giving and giving also means making time.
"This year, we resolve to always write her letters and to always pray for her and her family, especially in these trying times. We pray that God will bless her and keep her safe," says RJ.
"To Mary Jane, I hope that you press on. Remember that God will always send people to remind you that you are loved," ends Tin.

Using a S4 sequence that contained both a 12CCR tree, with 6 channel star, along with other LOR elements, I am using S5 5.0.6 to test how I can update for this years show. One element would be to edit the CCR Tree and star group - which Superstar does so well. Passing the S5 group to Superstar has some opportunities to improve.
When I defined a group of 4 CCB Arches and choose Insert Superstar - Superstar opened up as expected showing the 4 arches, and gave me the 4 matrix lines to program with. The problem I find is with the more complex structure of the 12CCR tree, and the 12 CCR tree along with its 6 channel star.
It appears that the Insert Superstar sequence is limited to working on GROUP elements. When I tried to grab a series of ROWS, I did not have an Insert Superstar option. It was only when I choose either a single ROW, or had a GROUP defined in a single ROW what the option appeared. I did create a 12CCR Tree group - choose that row/Insert Superstar and got a Superstar window with one window showing 12 pixel strings in the shape of the tree - but the Superstar matrix, where I would control the on/off lighting and define the morphs - was only 8 elements wide, not the 12 I expect. When I went to run this in Superstar, the music ran, but nothing was shown on the UI. That sequence was showing in the S5 UI. - I think I will pull this item into a bug report and open it there.
Let me expand a bit on this. The image attached shows the result of S5 opening Superstar to edit a 4 Arch group of CCB's. The CCB group is defined using "Use Preview" as an Arrangement (not sure which one to pick) - as a result, I do see the four arches in the order I expect - BUT, the programming matrix is something of a mixed up blob and i have to guess which matrix cell I should select (on/off), or run a morph through to create patterns. I had turned on the first element seqment. Each arch is set as a predefined Arch, 1 Section, 50 RGB nodes, starting Left. The four CCB arches are LOR addressed as Unit 6,7,8,9.
What I would like to see -is a left to right, top to bottom arrangement of the programming matrix cells- maybe just one Column/matrix for each arch so that the left most Arch element (set at #1) is at the top of each column. The arches show as expected - but the programming colums are not as expected.
I have resolved the S5 ->Superstar arrangement issue with my 4 CCR arches. By setting the GROUP Def to be NESTED, I get this ARCH / Config setup in Superstar which is what I wanted.


Fatigue is a common symptom of many illnesses and diseases, including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and thyroid disease. It is also a common side effect of transitioning to a no-sugar no-starch diet. Nutritional plans can improve the symptoms of fatigue-causing illnesses but your body will need time to adjust to your new nutritional regimen. However, there are several things you can do now to fight fatigue.
A necessary part of any healthy living regimen, exercise is especially important for those who are plagued by fatigue. Although exercise may feel like the last thing you want to do when you are tired, many studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on energy levels.
While any regular physical activity can improve your energy level, yoga in particular has been shown to improve mindfulness, vitality, and wakefulness. No matter your age or fitness level, you can find yoga instructors that will accommodate your need. Practicing just once per week is enough to reap the benefits.
Dehydration will have a negative impact on your energy levels. When you are dehydrated, the fluid loss causes a drop in blood volume. As a result, the heart has to work harder to circulate nutrients and oxygen through the body. By increasing your water intake, you can prevent dehydration and decrease fatigue.
If a dip in your blood sugar is to blame for daytime fatigue, eating at regular intervals may reduce or prevent fatigue.
Good sleeping habits are a necessary part of any healthy living program. Make sure that you are going to bed at a reasonable hour, allowing your body all the rest it needs to stay energized throughout the day. By addressing the factors contributing to fatigue, you can enjoy an optimal quality of life.

Wackos Have Alan Greenspan Running Scared
The former Fed chairman is deeply concerned about the "crazies."
Alan Greenspan has seen a lot of scary sh*t in his 90 years-- Black Friday, Brexit, the housing bubble he built with his own two hands-- but none of it even comes to close in spine-tingling terror to the wackjobs out there he's pretty sure are thisclose to taking down the whole damn economy.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan voiced concern that the U.S. economic and political system could be undermined by what he called "crazies." "It is the worst economic and political environment that I've ever been remotely related to," Greenspan, 90, told a conference in Washington Tuesday evening sponsored by Stanford University and the University of Chicago. On the economic front, the U.S. is headed toward stagflation -- a combination of weak demand and elevated inflation, according to Greenspan. "Politically, I haven't a clue how this comes out." "We're not in a stable equilibrium," he said. "I hope we can all find a way out because this is too great a country to be undermined, by how should I say it, crazies."

People confess why they believe in the power of prayer
Dec 30th 2015 5:00AM
There are countless ways people deal with stress, turmoil and tragedy. Some people pour their troubles out into vices like drugs or alcohol, others work through them with therapy or exercise. Many people, though, look to God to get through the things that ail them, and have total faith in the power of prayer.
Several people took to Whisper, the popular app that provides an anonymous platform for people to share their most honest thoughts, to explain how prayer helps them through their hardest times.
Some use prayer to remind them of all the good things in life:
Prayer might make people feel like they aren't making decisions alone:
You don't have to be very religious in order to feel salvaged by prayer:
Feeling like you're not completely alone is sometimes enough to help you through the hardest of times:
Praying is always a healthier option than turning to drugs or alcohol:
It's important to do whatever it is that helps you appreciate how lucky you are:
Having faith isn't the same thing as being religious:
Some people believe that change will come with enough positive prayer:
Praying might ground you and make you less anxious about the struggles you're facing in your life:
Sending positive vibes into the universe can help you feel at peace:
Praying might make you appreciate what you have, even if you're not done dreaming:

I really sold you on this one. But its so true, unless you have a fetish for eyeballs the teaser trailer for The Host, really doesn't show much. Clearly there is an "on the down-low" invasion afoot, Stephenie Meyer wrote the book, Andrew Niccol directed the film, which is still in production and it opens March 29, 2013 — this is what I got from the "teaser". I consider myself teased to the point of frustrati… eh, sure — the loose blue balls analogy gets to stay in the picture.
My balls aside (king of the segue, I am I am) the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons (son of Jeremy), Jake Abel (son of Cain…no, can you imagine though?), Diane Kruger (daughter of Freddy, this is ridiculous now), William Hurt (…) and Frances Fisher.
Meyer wrote The Host right after she completed the Twilight books, but not long after she had her Scrooge McDuck treasure bath.
Here is the video, warning — it will not be released on Betamax, so you may want to catch this one in theaters.


A few snaps from the over policed G8 protests in Derby on March 17th - when marches in the centre of town had been banned by the government and exclusion zones set up in the surrounding villages. 12 cyclists were arrested in the morning - has anyone got any pictures of this or the critical mass protest?
Well done to those who refused to be intimidated and turned out for the G8 protests in derby.

Chairman of Providence license board proposes nightclub district on Allens Avenue
A 24-hour nightclub district is Providence Board of Licenses Chairman Dylan Conley's idea to solve the safety issues plaguing nightclubs in the city.
Monday, September 9th 2019, 5:55 PM EDT by Amanda Pitts
Monday, September 9th 2019, 6:03 PM EDT
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) - Following a violent summer at Providence nightclubs, city leaders are stepping up with ideas to help.
City Councilwoman Kat Kerwin and Travis Escobar of Millenial Rhode Island have kicked off the "PVD After Dark" initiative, an idea to get the community to work together, to promote nightlife but also make it safer.
"What happens when there's a hard 2 a.m. close time across the city, is there's a mass exodus of the clubs at 2 a.m. and suddenly there are hundreds of thousands of people in the streets," Councilwoman Kerwin said to ABC6.
Their idea is a "nightlife mayor", modeled after a position that New York City made in 2018, that makes the so-called mayor the point person for businesses and residents to try and make the scene safe and successful for everyone.
Another idea comes from Providence Board of Licenses Chairman Dylan Conley. Conley tells ABC6 he's been working for the past two years on coming up with a solution to the problems that plague nightclubs in the city, and that solution, he believes, is a 24-hour nightclub district.
"This is an opportunity for us to kind of create economic opportunity in Providence, while at the same time, limiting the nuisances nightclubs create in neighborhoods," said Conley.
Conley proposes the nightclub district be on the industrial stretch of Allens Avenue and Poe Street, between Public Street and Lehigh Street. The location, he says, is far away from residential areas, and would have fewer restrictions for club owners.
"You could apply to do things in that district, such as bottle service, 24-hour liquor service, that you're not allowed to do anywhere else in the state," Conley added.
He hopes the looser rules will attract clubs to move from neighborhoods to the district, and if the stretch is considered a business district, the city could increase taxes. That extra cash, Conley says, could go towards funding a greater police presence.
"Focusing it in one area, where we can protect residents, I think would be an economic boom, while making it safer and having less nuisances."
Not everyone on the council is on board for the idea of a nightclub district.
Deputy Majority Leader Mary Kay Harris, whose ward borders the proposed area, issued a statement Monday, saying she wishes she was involved in the conversations up to this point.
"Too often, the Southside is used as a dumping ground for the ideas no one else is willing to house in their own backyards. While homeless shelters, social service agencies, and rehab centers (just to name a few) are all worthwhile investments, why is it always the Southside community that has to compromise quality of life for the better good?" Harris wrote.
City Council President Sabina Matos, who announced the creation of a Night Life Working Group last Thursday to assess the nightclub issues in the city, also issued a statement Monday.
"I am happy to hear how engaged my colleagues have been in this discussion, but I think we are putting the cart before the horse. We need to fully understand the scope and overriding issues around nightlife culture before we move forward with any major initiatives," said Matos.
Conley is a part of the working group, along with public safety officials, the City Council, business owners, and community members. He hopes they'll consider his proposal.

Q: TJavaFlex component unable to convert Integer to String error I am a noob in Talend and I am having a very simple flow as below: A delimited file connected to a tjavaflex component, which is in turn is connected to tlogrow.

The delimited file has a column "id" defined as integer. I am trying to send this column as a string and also do some transformations(like string append) while sending data into  the tlogrow component.
I have modified the schema of the tlogrow component so that it can receive String values.

Yet when I run the job,I am getting the error as below:

When I inspect the code,I find that the error has occurred here:

At the same time, I don't understand why I have the lines 850,851,852 in the above snip, when ideally ,my code is at lines 854,855,856.
From what I can understand, even though I changed the datatype of my "id" column at the receiving end, it is still considering it as an Integer type.
Can someone please let me know why this error could be occurring? I tried a lot of combinations to get this working somehow, but it doesn't. Even executed similar code snippets in Java(EclipseIDE),but I don't seem to be able to reproduce this.

A: Uncheck the Data Auto Propogate checkbox in the tJavaFlex component to prevent the automatic code generation to propagate the input-output flow.

The mocks are starting soon and I thought that I should go over how I studied and prepared for them.
Biology – Bio Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be the start of all exams so I'm quite nervous about this subject, also because I've been aiming for 7 but achieving 6. I went through my notes and the textbook quite thoroughly and now I'm looking at the study guide (syllabus) to make sure that I haven't left anything out.
Chemistry – I have always done well in chemistry, however, that doesn't mean that I can sit back and relax. Again, I went through my notes and examples that Mr.Pulfer uploaded for us and I'm just reviewing my notes now.
Geography – I never got a 7 on this subject but 5 and 6, so I really want to aim high for Geo. I read and read through all the notes and made my own notes as well. I'm particularly weak in Paper 2 so I'm going to be focusing on it.
Maths – Maths is a very challenging subject so I'm very nervous about how this is gonna turn out. I reviewed key questions in textbook and equations and also did some practice questions that Dr.Frewin gave us but maths tests are generally unpredictable and extremely challenging so I don't think I'll do particularly well in this subject.
Spanish – I am not so nervous about espanol because I've been improving steadily and I am getting more and more confident of especially the writing segment of the test. I'm reviewing my grammar notes for now because the endings can be very confusing.
English – I am not really sure how to prepare for Paper 1, so i'm just reviewing how I should approach the question. For Paper 2, I re-read the texts that we studied and made notes again on the texts.

Q: Non-convex polyhedron with 18 edges, 12 faces and 8 vertices Which non-convex polyhedron has 8 vertices, 12 faces and 18 edges?

A: The dual of @lhf's construction will work.  Take a (say, nonconvex) hexagon and form the (double) cone over the plane figure, to get a solid.
The two apexes and six points of the hexagon make eight vertices, there are twelve triangular faces (six meeting at each apex), and of course $18$ edges.
There is another way to make the solid nonconvex, as one cone could be "everted" inside the other.

A: Besides the hexagonal bipyramid mentioned by hardmath, you can also form such a solid by adding a pyramid over each face of a tetrahedron. This "triakis tetrahedron" has 8 vertices (the four original vertices, and the four new apices), $4 \cdot 3 = 12$ faces, and 18 edges (the six original edges, and 12 new ones.) If you make the pyramids sufficiently tall, or if you indent them inside the tetrahedron, then you have a non-convex solid.

The Chiefs' safety group is still loaded with questions.
They've brought in Tyrann Mathieu to be a defensive leader and a versatile piece in the secondary. The expectation is that he'll be playing closer to the line of scrimmage. That means the Chiefs could still be looking for upgrades to the free safety spot. They have a lot of bodies on the roster, but no clear answer and after the struggles of last season, they need to bring in competition.
Here's a look at some of the pieces they could consider adding in each round of the 2019 NFL draft.
Given what the Chiefs currently lack at the safety position there probably isn't a better fit in the first round than Nasir Adderley. His range is exceptional and borderline elite. He's always around the football and trying to get his hands on it. Adderley plays fast to the football in run defense and doesn't have a whole lot of wasted movement when attacking.
Adderley is also regarded as one of the hardest working players in this class, and not just at the safety position. As a small-schooler you have to be willing to put in that extra work to get a chance at the next level. It's that type of mentality and commitment to the process that will succeed at the NFL level. He does the extra work in preparation and training that has him in consideration to be the top FCS player drafted in 2019.
The Chiefs have often placed emphasis on drafting standouts from the Senior Bowl, and Adderley certainly stood out there during the practice week and during the game. Going to the alma mater of the Chiefs' general manager also won't hurt Adderley's chances with the team.
Juan Thornhill is one of the do-it-all safeties in this draft class. A lot of that versatility comes from his athleticism. He's a naturally gifted athlete and showed out during the pre-draft process. At the combine he tied the record for the best vertical jump with a 44.0 inch jump. He also had 21 repetitions of 225 on the bench press, and ran a 4.42 40-yard dash.
Thornhill is one of the quickest processors in this draft class. He's got great range to play free safety and his ball skills pop off the screen. He's also quite good at weaving through traffic in run defense and finding the fastest way to ball carrier.
The talent evaluators for the Chiefs have shown that they really value safeties with man coverage skills, and Thornhill's previous experience as a cornerback lends itself to man coverage. The Chiefs brought Thornhill in on a pre-draft visit and had formal and informal meetings with him at the combine, so there is some real interest here.
There's few players in this class more fun to watch on tape than Marquise Blair. He's a heat-seeking missile style safety who absolutely loves playing downhill. The guy has more big hits on tape than any safety in this group, but sometimes that aggressive style of play can get him into trouble. It's okay to love to hit, and even encouraged in the NFL, but playing with discipline is also key.
As impressive as Blair's tackling in run defense is, I'm most intrigued by his ability as a deep safety. His range has an elite ceiling and he's flashed that elite play from the single high spot. His acceleration stands out quite a bit, as he can go from 0-to-100 quite quickly. Still, Blair needs more work and development time to truly reach his potential in the NFL.
The Chiefs have a unique connection to Utah, being that defensive assistant Alex Whittingham used to play there just a few years ago. In fact, Blair told me that he spoke with Whittingham at the combine and quickly recapped the 2018 season.
Boston College product Will Harris has been a standout throughout the pre-draft process. He boasts a 4.4 40-yard dash and it shows up on tape frequently in both coverage and run fills. The area that I've been most impressed with Harris is man coverage. His interception against Andy Isabella during 1-on-1 drills in Senior Bowl practice had Harris looking more like corner than a safety.
The big knock on Harris' game and the reason he likely won't be drafted until day three is his lack of ball skills. Five interceptions and just seven passes defended in four seasons and 47 games played. That'll raise some eyebrows as evaluators meet and discuss this player.
One bonus that Harris has going for him is his ability as a special teams player. His timed speed will certainly help his case in that department too.
Harris is already on the Chiefs' radar as he met with the team at his pro day.
Sometimes it pays to scout the person behind the tape. Don't get me wrong, Khari Willis is an exceptional player, but the NFL likes the full package here. Willis is not only a team captain, but he's the type of player that leads by example off the field. For a team like the Chiefs adding a player like that is invaluable as they look to rebuild their defense.
On the football field Willis brings you a physical presence in run defense. He has really good closing speed once he reacts and puts his foot in the ground. That speed translated in the pre-draft process with a 4.52 40-yard dash at the combine. Willis has flashed some skill in coverage as well, but I think he's more NFL ready when he's tasked with assignments closer to the line of scrimmage and attacking the run.
Willis has also shown improvements every year throughout his college career. That's not a bad mark to have when heading into the NFL.
I picture Evan Worthington as a developmental project as a deep safety. He's flashed good range and ball skills on tape to be successful at that spot. Some teams will like him as a match piece in man coverage, but I'm not confident he has the speed to do it in the NFL. He improved on his 40-yard dash time from the combine during his pro day, which has drawn more interest from teams.
It'll be interesting to see where Worthington fits at the next level. Some teams like him at corner, others safety, and at his pro day Worthington said some teams have told him they see him as a linebacker. It just goes to show the type of athlete that he is that so many teams think he can play all these different positions.
Colorado has turned out some good defensive backs over the last several years. Worthington looks like he'll be the next one to get a shot at making a mark in the NFL.
At this point in the draft you're looking for developmental pieces and players who can contribute on special teams in the first year. Broderick Thomas is a prospect that is flying under the radar, but his tape warrants considerations in the late rounds.
He's fearless as a tackler and he's shown up in the bigger games he's played for UAB. In 2017 when UAB played Florida, Thomas set a career high in total tackles. In 2018 when UAB played Texas A&M, he recovered a fumble that helped keep his team in the game. Those are both SEC teams, and Chiefs GM Brett Veach is a former SEC scout. So it's probably good to play well against those specific teams coming from a smaller school.
Experience as both a safety and a cornerback is a big bonus for the Thomas with the Chiefs. Thomas also had three blocked kicks when he was playing at Cisco Junior College, so that special teams prowess is certainly there.


Former Ghana Football Association vice-president Fred Pappoe thinks former Black Stars coach Avram Grant was poorly handled which led to a massive public backlash.
The Israeli, who came on board in 2014 with a $50,000 per month package, was widely criticised for his unwillingness to reside in the country and scout local talent.
"I was a member of the panel that selected Avram Grant and I have no regrets recommending that he should be brought on board. There are two things involved when you give someone a job," Pappoe told GHOne TV.
"If you recruit a person to do a job for the country, you must make clear the terms of reference from the deliverables and then you must supervise and ensure that he is doing what he was brought on board for to execute.
Grant mutually parted ways with Ghana after his two-and-half-year contract expired in February. He led Ghana to the final of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon, losing on penalties to Cote d'Ivoire.


You allows a product duty-free or reduced customs perform in the respective country of destination, provided that there is a preferential agreement between the origin and the destination country. A manufacturer intends to use the preferential treatment he needs to create a complete preference determination for each exported goods. Worth the effort associated in many cases: the receiver of the goods can introduce discounted tariffs or even duty-free this, provided that certain origin criteria and thresholds are complied. In competition with goods from non-EU countries preference determination can mean therefore ultimately the decisive price advantage for the manufacturers leading to the purchase of the product. Ebay is a great source of information. This potential should be exploited.
To calculate from the ex-work price delivery duty or customs favors can be done, which is the use of Praferenzkalkulations software. Get more background information with materials from Laurent Potdevin. With such software, companies already in the design phase or during the creation of the BOM can simulate different scenarios. Exchanging material with or without proof of origin in the scenarios verifies the conditions under which the finished product receives preferential permission. A further advantage of a Praferenzkalkulations software: It guarantees that the preference is calculated correctly and that there is a valid vendor declaration for all considered parts. These documents are always only temporary even only partially valid for a single shipment, and must be requested by the exporter at the end of may the supplier new. A good software fully automated sent the appropriate request mail if necessary. The preference determination itself comfortable software products expires usually automated: the necessary data such as.
The software via standardized interfaces does BOM, material master records or prices automatically from the ERP system. Export control represents foreign trade legally mandatory for each exporting companies with integrated sanction checking the export control and sanction testing occupies a substantial part of it. Failure to comply with the statutory provisions threaten penalties. Therefore, it is advisable to use an IT solution for the implementation of the sanctions review.
With its large and comprehensive product range, as well as several thousand tons of steel, the leading steel and metal distributor Klockner in Bremen of his clientele has presents itself.

An additional way of differentiating what is corporate social responsibility for SMEs? The terms to corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship are called again come from America and are becoming increasingly important in European companies for several years. Corporate social responsibility means a company's social and environmental responsibility for its business, but also the quality of the relationships of the company to employees, suppliers and other social stakeholders. This involves E.g. working conditions, environmental protection, but also – as when the production from abroad – to human rights or child labour. Corporate citizenship is a part of this corporate social responsibility and describes all public service activities and initiatives of a company and their orientation on parent company objectives, often denoted in civic engagement. Although at medium-sized companies often not inconsiderable – social engagement traditionally far is widespread and about three quarters make all companies regularly help and support, utilizes the potential of offering this commitment for their own entrepreneurial development, the middle class usually inadequately. Always more altruistically motivated donations are prevalent in many companies, often without a strategy given the motto who first asks \".\" With the result of an ineffective at least for the successful development of the company patchwork of donations and sponsorship. By the big large companies, however, already have recognized the great business benefits and the potential commitment aligned strategically with the corporate goals years ago learn and implement successfully since then a wide variety of concepts for themselves.
Now the realization that properly designed social commitment brings substantial benefits for the company, is also in SMEs. Finally, corporate citizenship offers today any company, regardless of its size- good chance to distinguish themselves with its stakeholders, to achieve a significant increase of the image and to break away from the competition. Benefits of corporate citizenships small and medium sized enterprises are already using strategically planned corporate citizenship activities, report of positive effects, which are ultimately reflected in the corporate results: improving the level of awareness of company and brand strengthening corporate and brand image product differentiation increase customer loyalty and confidence develop new customer groups on social commitment increase employee loyalty and motivation about additional content increase the attractiveness and appeal as an employer better corporate culture, higher social competence of the staff improved relations with all other stakeholders increased media presence and more public interest increase in corporate value that offers the right, organically into the company implemented corporate citizenship in addition to the classic Methods as an additional option to establish their own company, to develop the employees and continue to bring the company forward.

Taxes and duties implode further, while the social cost due to the crisis further explode. Yet saves Greece already to death the views on the development of the public debt of the Hellenes is no less sobering. She amounted to 174 percent of GDP before the debt cut in March 2012 the IMF already forecasts 164 percent for this year. Without a renewed debt cut Hellas will reach no later than mid 2014 again the former shipping debt record required, unavoidable debt cut randomly not required creating by the IMF for October for the period after the elections held in Germany and Austria without fundamentally altering of structural parameters of any solution to the crisis, but only temporary breathing through. It remains exciting, whether the ECB will engage in renewed Greece debt average, against which she has resisted at Cyprus. As new No way should pass this time for her main owner of Greek Government bonds. This would be the final taboo in terms of direct State financing.
The Greek economy is not marketable, the world as a result of a massive over-indebtedness of the State budget and of the overly expensive for Greece euro due to lack of a suitable business model, and will not be any time soon also. Greece left hook so that as the euro destabilizing factor and thus at the same time the question according to the meaningfulness of the ' euro currency corset ', 'the Greek patient' located, manner concludes at the end of his analysis.

The event was moderated by Roland Franken, professional journalist from Cologne. Web2Print – what is it? The round entered the discussion with this own-initiative question. Quickly became clear here, that the term means not only a shop system for consumers on the Internet. It is Web-based, server-based systems of order where the customer generates individual print documents based on standardised templates. Usually the downstream commercial processes are integrated.
Is the needs analysis the first steps when entering Web2Print before success as see? How can I attract customers? What systems are in question? The quintessence of the answers to the correct entry was: without detailed conceptual and substantive preparation does not.

... the country's power sector is prepping for a dramatic increase in U.S. demand for clean electricity.
Action on climate change is the reason — more specifically, U.S. President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan, which aims to slash carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by a third by 2030.
The plan is expected to triple the flow of Canadian electricity into Midwestern and northeastern border states, part of a broader U.S. effort to comply with the international climate obligations that 196 countries agreed to in Paris.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation [NERC], which monitors and regulates grid stability in Canada and the U.S., estimated in a report last April that net Canadian electricity exports under the Clean Power Plan could grow three-fold between 2020 and 2030 as demand for renewable power grows in states such as Ohio, Michigan, New York and jurisdictions in New England.
Here we have the agreement from Paris and the U.S. Clean Power Plan discussed, so I'll briefly discuss each to communicate the value for Canada, and particularly Ontario, is limited - but an opportunity does exist.
That "name and shame" strategy was advanced in Paris, primarily because the President lacked the ability to have Congress pass anything legally binding. Countries provide plans for reducing emissions, and if they don't achieve them they will be mocked by countries that are achieving their goals, should there be any.
The U.S. Clean Power Plan, if it gets enacted, will offer states a couple of methods to comply with individual emissions targets based on a subset of generators operating in the states in 2012 (I'd need to check in the volumes of text to confirm the base year) - the subset exclude generators without emissions in service prior to 2013 (most notably nuclear); it therefore basically includes almost exclusively emitting facilities.
States can target either emissions intensity, getting facilities to an average of ~20% below the intensity level of the 2012 base year (so replace coal with gas, of augment coal with wind, etc.), or they can just reduce their emissions by the requisite amount (it varies by state). Those sound the same, but the first option could actually see increased emissions. Illinois, for instance, could likely replace older nuclear units with natural gas generators and easily meet clean power plan targets by doing so.
Emissions reductions can come in state or not - by power purchase agreements with facilities outside of the state, or through the trading of cap space (such as through clean energy certificates).
How does this impact Ontario?
"Canada exports three times more power to the United States, mainly NPCC and MISO North."
NPCC is the Northeast Power Coordinating Council and it includes Canadian provinces/systems east of Manitoba as well as the New England and New York system operator areas (NYISO and ISONE).
The "MW Interchanges No CPP" indicates, for Canada, net exports of 5,461 megawatts on average if the Clean Power Plan doesn't come into force, which works out to an annual total of about 48 terawatt-hours (TWh), and that is the average that actually occurred from 2012-2014. The best case (State level application of the Clean Power Plan) offers an export opportunity into New York and New England systems of another 691 megawatts on average, but that's little more than Ontario wasted in 2014 as generators reportedly curtailed an average of ~550 megawatts (by way of annual totals of 376 thousand MWh of wind, 1.2157 million MWh of nuclear and 3.2 million MWh of hydro-electric power). The NERC document that enthused Tyler Hamilton writing in the Star doesn't offer much hope for the U.S. northeast bailing Ontario out of its over-supply.
The mid-continent system operator territory (MISO) may offer an opportunity. Michigan is Ontario's major contact point, but that state reports it "could be in full compliance with the new EPA requirements until between 2025 and 2028." MISO's reporting for the entire region provides more reason for optimism among those hoping demand for Ontario's electricity exports go up - along with some caution about the values, both monetary and in terms of health.
States have two options on how their emissions cuts would be measured. If states choose the "rate-based" method, they would measure the rate that their existing generators emit, in tons/MWh generated, according to an EPA fact sheet. The other option would entail converting the rate-based goal to the tonnage they would be allowed to emit over a time period, known as the "mass-based" method.
"Regionally, mass-based compliance is less expensive than rate-based compliance, with the gap increasing over time," according to a presentation by Jordan Bakke, MISO senior policy studies engineer. "Early compliance targets can be met through renewable portfolio standards and coal-to-gas redispatch, but comprehensive planning needs to start today to meet increasingly stringent compliance targets in the mid-2020s."
To mitigate production cost increases, MISO would need new resources that severely cut or eliminate CO2 emissions, such as natural gas, wind and solar power, according to the presentation.
Without such mitigating measures, under the mass-based method, the CO2 price would about double, from less than $20/[short ton] in 2022 to almost $40/[short ton] in 2030. Under the rate-based method, CO2 prices would range from about $17/st in 2022 to about $135/st in 2030.
Ontario's feed-in tariff (FIT) offers for wind (all the projects coming online after 2012) were at $135 per megawatt-hour (MWh), upped from approximately $110/MWh in the previous Standard Offer Program. The increased cost to Ontario's ratepayers, over the lengths of the contracts, was recently estimated to have a net present value of $5.3 billion. It's expected to take most of a decade before the bonanza potential of selling low-carbon electricity will equal the unnecessary $25/MWh price bump that was gifted with the FIT program.
Nonetheless, Ontario has contracted the unnecessary supply, and the value of that supply with Ontario is rapidly dropping. The imbalance of supply and demand grows with each new generator entering service, and very low natural gas prices add to the downward pressure on market pricing. Wind's intermittent nature result in lower market prices during windy periods,with that impact growing as wind capacity is added.
In 2015, the market value of Ontario's $135/MWh wind was below $20/MWh - less than the excess paid by jumping rates with the Green Energy Act.
Over the past 3 months, all windy ones, the average Hourly Ontario Energy Price (HOEP) value of wind generation has been less than $10/MWh - or 1 cent per kilowatt-hour.
For industrial wind turbines in the sector of Ontario's grid closest to Michigan, the value is lower than even wind's average.
A power purchase agreement would be particularly useful for U.S. states in providing flexibility in choosing the path of reducing emissions intensity within their state, while still having utility if the overall emissions reduction is chosen. That flexibility has a value.
Ontario can maximize revenues from the industrial wind generators "developed" after 2012 by finding states looking to reduce their emissions rate (the intensity option under the Clean Power Plan), and selling the feed-in tariff contract. The average power purchase agreement for wind in Michigan was estimated at $74.52/MWh in 2015 (see table 1). Existing Ontario contracts may not yield that high an amount, but with 1 US dollar currently worth $1.40 Canadian, Ontario's ratepayers could cut their losses far below the $115 level they experienced in 2015.
The potential savings is immense- although the savings is only in the form of reduced losses.
But there is also a cost.
MISO suggests lower costs from "mass-based" compliance because, in part, it will allow more coal-fired power plants within MISO to run more often. For the same reason, Michigan should be interested in Ontario wind because it could reduce the need to replace coal-fired powered plants with natural gas-fired power plants. The same is true for Michigan's neighbouring states, all of which has significant coal-fire generation.
There are costs to Ontario in selling of wind contracts to nearby US states. Two of Michigan's coal-fired power plants lie within kilometers of Ontario's shuttered Lambton coal-fired power plant, and those two Michigan plants have emitted more CO2 than all of Ontario's generators every year since 2008 - along with other emissions that are more of an immediate airshed health concern.
Admitting the enormous losses on industrial wind may be hard for Ontario's government to swallow, and using American rules to facilitate the ongoing American use of coal may even make it hard for some Ontarians to breath. Nonetheless, Ontario can, and should, recognize air quality issues distinct from CO2 emission issues and rightly work to resolve health concerns separate from negotiating electricity contracts.
Selling off the losing FIT contracts to the highest bidder is the right thing for over-supplied Ontario to do.

"K. Albanian extremists continue to make threats"
Belgrade, February 10, 2013
Head of the Serb Orthodox monastery Visoki Dečani Sava Janjić has said that Kosovo Albanian extremists continue to make threats against the monastery.
A view of Visoki Dečani (I. Jovanović, file)
He noted that he was concerned about their announcement that they would usurp the monastery's land despite the decision of the Supreme Court of Kosovo.
The court determined that 23 hectares belonged to the monastery and ruled against two companies who claimed that the land belonged to them.
"This would be very dangerous because Visoki Dečani is not just a church and it owns a land that is important for the survival of monks," Janjić stressed.
He told B92 that he had discussed the issue with KFOR Commander Volker Halbauer on Saturday.
"He assured us that our safety was not threatened and that KFOR would protect the monastery from attacks of local extremists," Janjić said.
He warned that the Albanian extremists continued to make threats and that they had announced that they would "radicalize" the protest and take away the monastery land.
Albanians organized a protest in Dečani on Friday, demanding that the court's decision be overturned and that the land be taken away from the monastery. KFOR troops and Kosovo police blocked off the monastery in order to prevent the extremists from approaching it.
