Division Street Tank and Booster Pump Station - GeoTest, Inc.
This project included the construction of a new 6 million gallon reservoir and booster pumping station to replace the aged and undersized existing system. The new station and system is capable of the state required 2 day supply of water to its service area. The tank was built with prestressed concrete walls, a key element in supporting the height of the tank. This type of construction is not typically seen in the northern Puget Sound region.

Board directors are meant to sing for their supper
• By Khaya Sithole
In the world of buccaneering corporate kleptocrats, few names are as prominent as that of Lord Conrad Black. The Canadian-born media baron became famous firstly for investing in the news, then infamous for being the news. When he acquired the Daily Telegraph in 1986, Black cemented his place in the echelons of modern media barons. But his predilection for the high life somehow persuaded him to plunder resources from Hollinger International, the holding company of his corporate interests.
In the aftermath of his looting spree, an unusual step was taken to try and recover some of the company's losses. In the US courts, Black was accused and charged breaching his fiduciary duties. The legal instrument used to nab Black, was a little-known provision in US law — the honest services statute — that is colloquially referred to as the 28-word statute.
At the heart of the US statute, lay the proposition that fraudulent actions that deprive "another of the intangible right of honest services", were indeed punishable by law. The longstanding criticism of the statute was the rather elusive nature of the intangible right. From the time it had been enacted in 1988, the statute had become a useful arsenal for prosecutors seeking to throw the book at those accused of white-collar crimes in particular.
When the Enron scandal broke, it was this statute that saw the duo of Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay eventually thrown behind bars for corporate fraud. When John Rigas of Adelphia had been more than generous in helping himself to company resources and concealing the true state of the company's finances, the honest services statute resulted in a conviction and 12-year sentence.
The usefulness of the instrument to prosecute corporate crimes rested in the interplay between the vague idea of "right to honest services" and fiduciary duties owed by directors to companies. The duty element is naturally important because one with no duty to provide a service — honest or otherwise — cannot possibly be guilty of failing to provide such a service.
For Black, his tendency to reward himself with unauthorised payments to the detriment of other stakeholders of Hollinger, became the turning point that indicated that he had breached his fiduciary duties.
Ironically though, the vast resources under Black's command enabled him to challenge the validity of the statute itself. When Black petitioned the US Supreme Court to look into his case in 2009, the court's arch-conservative — Antonin Scalia — had taken exception to the wide-ranging use of the statute by federal prosecutors. In his plea for the meaning and constitutionality of the statute to be revisited, Scalia stated that the chaos associated with the lack of certainty and wide-ranging use of the statute needed to be addressed.
A year later — in what must be one of the few instances where Ruth Bader Ginsburg found common ground with Scalia — the court did declare the statute unconstitutional. It declared that the statute could only apply in cases of kickbacks and bribes. The change made it far less effective as an instrument of holding errant directors in breach of their fiduciary duties — unless clear evidence of bribes and kickbacks existed.
The genesis of fiduciary duties stems from the fact that corporate entities are legal persons that rely on human beings — directors — to breathe life into the entity. Such directors are then bound by fiduciary principles — the expectation that they will act in the best interests of the company. The dimensions of fiduciary principles range from loyalty to the company, the duty of care, and the need to act in good faith.
Ten years ago, when the Companies Act became law in South Africa, such duties were crystallised in section 76 which sets out the standards of conduct expected from board directors. A company seeking to add directors to its board is expected to have an awareness of such duties and only appoint individuals who are committed to acting in good faith for the best interests of the company. When this happens, corporate failures are more avoidable. Alternatively, when it all goes wrong, disaster ensues.
The problem with such laws, is that little evidence exists of directors being held accountable for breaches of duty.
In December 2017, Steinhoff announced that its CEO — the buccaneer from Stellenbosch, Markus Jooste — would resign in light of "accounting irregularities". Since then, the focus has been on trying to unpack those irregularities and to compensate the multiple stakeholders who lost money as a result.
A far-less explored question relates to the other directors on the board at the time. Gifted with some of the most experienced and prominent board sitters in South Africa, Steinhoff's understanding of fiduciary duties should have been better than most — if not all — entities in the country.
The common feature of its business model — global acquisitions — meant that directors were constantly engaged in decisions about mergers and acquisitions. That on its own, escalated their need for oversight to the type of levels referred to in the Revlon Standard of Enhanced Scrutiny as articulated during the days of the proposed takeover of Revlon by Pantry Pride.
That a company staffed with the best directors and also with a business model that invited superior vigilance, would still collapse into failure, should leave us all wondering about the quality of the services on offer in South African boardrooms.
A feature of modern boardrooms is the mix between independent and non-independent directors. The former tend to enjoy a sense of detachment from the daily operations that makes their duty of asking questions even more important. Non-independent directors tend to enjoy proximity to the financial information either as material investors or through their roles as executives. On a comparative basis, they can be said to be more familiar with the company information than the non-executive directors and even the regulators.
The key among them — Christo Wiese — has been cited as the one who lost the most. Therein lies an interesting feature of governance. As a material shareholder whose personal financial fate is tied to the fortunes of the company, acting in the best interests of the company would inevitably translate to acting in the best interests of his own circumstances.
Similarly, Jay Naidoo — who somehow convinced the PIC to back him and his Lancaster outfit to form part of the complex Steinhoff behemoth, was a director of the group as it plunged into crisis. He also — through Lancaster — had a material personal interest in the fortunes of Steinhoff. Although the remaining directors each shared a duty to be vigilant in their oversight of the empire, these two in particular, would have been expected to be even more engaged in interrogating and understanding what they were fed by executives.
All of this works on the assumption that directors are primarily engaged for their expertise. But as we keep seeing in the case of Prasa and testimonies relating to Eskom and Transnet, whether boardroom sitters in South Africa actually know what they are doing is highly debatable.
As individuals who assume responsibility for the type of public disclosures the company makes, directors cannot underestimate the importance of paying attention to their jobs. This makes the recent decision by Naidoo to sue the South African Reserve Bank a truly bizarre state of affairs. At the heart of Naidoo's contention, is the theory that the bank relied on less-than-accurate representations in order to grant multiple approvals for Steinhoff's international buccaneering endeavours.
On that basis, Naidoo seeks to hold the Reserve Bank liable for losses suffered by Steinhoff stakeholders — especially himself. In 2018, Wiese resolved to sue Steinhoff for R59-billion for losses he suffered.

1 October 2006 saw the introduction of New fire safety rules affecting all non-domestic premises in England and Wales, (Scotland and Northern Ireland will have their own laws).
The main effect of the changes is to place a greater burden of responsibility on 'responsible persons' with an emphasis on fire prevention in all non-domestic premises shifting focus to 'putting people first'. Fire certificates will be abolished and those previously issued will cease to have any legal status.
If you are deemed to be the 'responsible person', you will be required to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment which must focus on the safety of all 'relevant persons' in the event of a fire. It must pay particular to those at special risk, such as the mobility impaired and those with special needs, this may include the preparation of Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP's), provision of specialist evacuation chairs and the training of personnel.
Put simply, the RRFSO requires any person who has some level of control in premises to take reasonable steps to reduce the risk from fire and make sure people have a safe means of escape in the event of a fire.
For further information or to arrange a Fire Risk Assessment, get in touch.


Reason, which guides our action, is an art that requires contemplation, deliberation and conclusion. Put into practice it begins with asking the right or important questions and ends in virtuous action. These steps require time and leadership. Sometimes, technology advances faster then the process needed to ask the right or important questions. Questions such as should we be using our minds to advance technologies that do not improve our the understanding of our purpose. Not for the purpose of a better life, but for a life well lived. There is a difference. A better life commonly means the acquisition of more creature comforts or a faster way to obtain information. But for what purpose?
The rapid unchecked advancement of technology is motivated by enlarging profit, not doing "the good". The latest invention or discovery can bring sudden and enormous wealth. It is a powerful passion that is an expedient way to seduce those who govern themselves on principle to abandon them in quest of money's magical powers. In reality it is expedient in more than one way. It brings instant gratification, but because it is not well thought out it brings costly ramifications to society. Jobs are the first casualty. I recently entered a fast food establishment and found that I could either choose a machine to take my order or the normal counter worker. This machine probably could do the work of one person, possibly more, but at what cost. I understand that it may replace the worker, but would also create jobs for repair technicians. The ratio is not equal. One machine will take the place of several people, but it will only take one person to monitor and repair the machine. Counter workers are the representatives of the business. They are the face of the company and make the first impression. A good employee can bring in repeat business as well as provide personal attention to the customer. Can a machine do that? Furthermore, the jobs that are being replaced are tried and true entry level positions for our young people to earn experience and perfect their work skills. Employers want employees that can interact in a positive manner and problem solve. This face to face interaction is what builds communication skills that keep people connected and caring.
Technologically advanced societies require managers instead of leaders. Technologies machines need nothing more than regularly scheduled maintenance to keep them functioning. A manager's main concern is to use machines in an efficient way to make profit in the most expedient way. It takes no interpersonal skills to interact with machines. You cannot lead machines. There is no investment in their future as good citizens or good people. People are only valued as consumers. Managers produce a herd mentality, a flock of "sheeple". An economy cannot grow by simply creating a shallow consumer culture. It only flourishes when people are able to fulfill the highest levels of their abilities. This life well lived is more meaningful.
A virtuous leader understands the difference between a better life and a life well lived. A true leader asks the right questions and then provides the vision and direction resulting in encouragement and example for virtuous action. It is driven by the idea that our actions are only worthy if they produce a community that strives to do "the good" by working towards fulfilling the principles of equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The virtuous leader uses technology not to replace people, but as a tool to aid people in achieving "the good of the community". Technology has value only if virtuous people use it wisely.


Nedbank small business loans in South Africa are considered by some the most reliable and fair loans available. Nedbank has a long history of supporting start-up companies by providing the start-up capital to get them off of the ground. Most people need to borrow money in their first year of starting their own small business – they need an office, office supplies and to buy machinery. Company finance has favourable interest rates and fairly sizeable loans are available. When you have decided on your business proposal, and have a good idea of how much money you will actually need then it is a good idea to approach a bank like this.
If you need that start-up capital to get your new business off the ground, you can consider a small business loan with Nedbank in South Africa as a safe and affordable way to borrow money. Company finance can seem daunting – there are so many costs to consider and some of these may be higher than you expect. First you need a space to buy or rent. Then you need to buy machinery or office supplies. These are far from cheap. The difficult thing with a start up is that all the costs are at the beginning of your venture and it can seem extremely scary. Yet, an investment isn't valueless. When you work hard at what you do, it will blossom and grow into an income generator. With help from Nedbank, this initial period can seem less daunting.
If you live in South Africa and want to contribute to the economy by starting your own company, then choose this bank. They are safe, dependable and in support of small business. They also have incredible investment in the environment and in students. So if you are starting a new business and need a little bit of start-up capital, or just some extra cash to buy machinery, then think about applying at a Nedbank branch for your business financial needs.
In our experience, Nedbank is definitely one of the best banks in South Africa to trust with your checks and money. The following video is an advertisment for the Nedbank brand starring Sharlto Copley and filmed on the streets of Johannesburg.

The seven "Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement" are the expression of a set of values and experiences distilled from over a century and a half of protecting the lives and dignity of people affected by conflict and disaster worldwide.
Officially proclaimed 50 years ago in Vienna, several of these humanitarian principles have been enshrined in United Nations resolutions, in State commitments and in pledges from numerous aid agencies, making them a rallying force in the humanitarian community and beyond. And yet, as ICRC President Peter Maurer Peter Maurer, President of the ICRC Peter Maurer has been President of the ICRC since 1 July 2012. In this position, his priorities include strengthening humanitarian diplomacy, engaging States and other actors for the respect of international humanitarian law, and improving the humanitarian response through innovation and new partnerships.
said: "the concepts as well as practices of 'Principled Humanitarian Action' are increasingly being challenged in current conflicts."

The evolving global environment in which humanitarian actors operate is posing profound challenges both in terms of complexity of major crises and their impact on affected people. Taking in consideration this environment, the ICRC, with its track record of a 150 years of humanitarian practice, has to consider how to address these challenges while remaining faithful to its humanitarian principles, notably, Humanity, Neutrality, Impartiality and Independence.
The year of 2015, marked by the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Fundamental Principles as well as the 32nd International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement), prompted several initiatives to study their contemporary practice and impact of these principles. As part of its contribution to this global discussion, the ICRC conducted a project entitled "Principles Guiding Humanitarian Action", whose public facet consisted in a series of high-level public events and expert panel discussions, as well as a dedicated edition of the International Review of the Red Cross (IRRC or the Review). Within the Movement, a series of regional workshops were also conducted, with a view to strengthening the application of the Fundamental Principles. The main findings were then discussed at the 32nd International Conference.

Report on Fundamental Principles (.pdf)
Around the world, relief and protection programmes in favour of the populations affected by conflicts, other situations of violence and disasters are meant to be guided by principles. These principles distinguish the humanitarian response from other forms of aid. Building on the experience of humanitarian professionals, they provide humanitarian actors with a compass to navigate difficult choices such as the dilemmas related to priority setting in situations where needs exceed limited resources, or the tension between security of humanitarian workers and access to populations.
These principles have been constantly challenged and are now being tested in relation to phenomena such as: the typology, duration and magnitude of current crises; the political environments in which humanitarian actors operate and the evolution of the sector itself. What role have the principles played in humanitarian action? What are the main challenges that humanitarian actors face in upholding them in today's crises and emergencies? What are the best practices in their application to contemporary field realities?
Geneva/Kiev/Moscow, 11 August 2014: The Russian Federation has handed over humanitarian assistance in eastern Ukraine to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in order to help people in need as a result of the conflict in that region. The ICRC met with Ukrainian and Russian authorities to discuss the manner in which such an operation could take place. High on the agenda was the guarantee of the security of ICRC staff and vehicles throughout the delivery of aid since the organization does not accept armed escorts.

Aden, Yemen, 6 August 2015: As wounded are brought to the Médecins Sans Frontière (MSF) hospital, a crowd of aggressive armed men want to enter the premises with them. In a very tense climate, the medical staff can convince the fighters to stay outside the gate. As it is normal practice for MSF, no weapons are allowed within medical facilities in order to maintain a neutral space, and therefore to protect the staff and patients from attacks.

These examples are illustrations of the application of the principles of neutrality, independence, and impartiality by three humanitarian actors. For the Médecins sans Frontière (MSF) hospital in Aden, it is about the struggle to maintain the neutrality of the hospital by keeping weapons out of the premises. For the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), it is about the necessary independence from warring parties in order to provide humanitarian assistance in eastern Ukraine. The example from the British Red Cross is a telling testimony of at least three Fundamental Principles in action: impartiality in the provision of humanitarian aid according to the most pressing needs and not nationality or status, independence in taking autonomous decision when mapping the course of its humanitarian operations, and neutrality in avoiding to take side on the controversial aspects of the deeply politicized issue of migration, while taking a clear stand on the humanitarian imperative. Ultimately, all decisions above are motivated by the principle of humanity, the raison d'être of the humanitarian enterprise.
Why do we help refugees and migrants?
British Red Cross, Blog
This e-briefing is intended as a multimedia resource that traces the latest developments in the contemporary debate on these principles. Far from having being limited to reaffirming their enduring relevance and far-reaching influence, this worldwide reflection also refined our mastery of the humanitarian principles as eminently pragmatic tools that, when applied judiciously on the ground, carry the power for more humanitarian effectiveness amidst the most challenging crises of our times.

"Mein Herz brennt" (German for "My heart burns") is a single by German industrial metal band Rammstein. The song first appeared as the opening song to the band's third album Mutter in 2001, and was used as the opening track for concerts during that era. In 2011 it appeared on the band's first greatest hits compilation titled Made in Germany 1995-2011, being the only song on the album that at the time of release had not been released as a single or had a music video. It was announced on November 22, 2012 that the song would be released as a single to promote the upcoming video collection Videos 1995-2012.
A piano version of the song was released as a single on 7 December 2012.
The song's lyrics involve a narrator describing the terrors of nightmares. The opening line of the song's intro and chorus ('"Nun, liebe Kinder, gebt fein Acht. Ich habe euch etwas mitgebracht" 'Now, dear children, pay attention. I have brought something for you') is taken from the 1950's German children's TV show Das Sandmännchen (The Little Sandman). Every night the show would come on and Das Sandmännchen would tell bedtime stories. This may entail the song's narrator being a darker version of the title character.

More work by Edwardo Kac, again of course fitting in with the idea of networks but also this time specifically communication through audio or vocal means.
At first the viewer contemplates the piece in the same manner that she normally looks at wall-mounted works of art. The viewer stands at a comfortable distance and sees a composition of lines, circles, and rectangles created with circuit boards, wires, microphone, and speaker embedded on a vertical mahogany piece. Because the viewer does not see antennae or external wires, she considers the piece a discrete art object, like a painting or sculpture. Soon, however, the viewer notices that sounds are in fact coming from the speaker. The viewer moves closer to the piece and listens more closely. Surprised, the viewer realizes that the sounds are human voices coming live from another location. Ceasing to contemplate the object, the viewer now engages the other viewer co-present in a remote location. Both viewers start an improvised dialogue which constitutes, in essence, the "drawing" alluded to in the title of the piece.

From surveillance and mobile technologies to fears and public panic, the ambivalent attraction of technologies of terror shifts registers between post-cold war and post 9-11sensibilities, whether from international or cross-generational zones of engagement. We will discuss how panic, paranoia, critical resistance to, and appropriation of technologies of terror are mediated by the threat and fear of violence in the interlinked networks of mobile media, domestic space, and the public sphere.

I stand up in front of that device. Firstly, my boss get annoyed because my body hinder my boss' sight. My boss ordered me to sit. Thus i forgot my intention completely.
I find myself addicted to sit there eventually. I like to sit in front of computer. Yes, a c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r. I've learned to spell it correctly all this morning. Just because i feel warm there. A nice place to rest. A comfortable space to sleep. One day, I see something fishy in the m-o-n-i-t-o-r. Fishes swimming from left to right, then right to left. Some fish come from a far distance, swimming towards me. Hap! I jump. Right at the moment the fish dis-appear.
What a sight! I want those fishes to play around with me. Oh, I know that it's just a dream.
I see something else. My boss saying she can go around the world through that device. It is nice to go to around the globe just by clicking something. I see my boss typing. I see on the s–c-r-e–e-n my boss communi-cat-ing with fellows. All I think in comical manner. I often spot my boss smile alone after reading a sentence appeared there. I know it come from my boss friends. Then she tell me that it is called b-l-o-g-g-i-n-g. My boss tell me what someone can do in it.
A world where you can do almost anything. It give you hope, fun, love. It may also give you night-mare. What? All I know, a mare would be locked in her stall at night. Those two-legged giant creat-ures have created this strange world. The world wild web. A cat can be abducted.
Remember Nez, that is compli-cat-ed. You'll become someone. I remember she said to me. But my curiousity grows larger than that of curious George. This is something that I think I will enjoy.
So I ask my boss if there is a chance for me to do so. Who knows i will meet another cat. Cats who come from unkown place in this world. Then my boss say yes. Then my boss let me write here. and this is my first p-o-s-t. Yes, a post.
Oh, you wonder how my boss understand me? It's not a secret. We are connected. Yes. Once you can connect to your cat well, you will likely be able to communi-cat-e.
I want to know how to say meow in Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. I want to see fishes from other countries. The Japanese scent of mice. I want to greet Mr. Lion. He is the only beast I adore so far. For his strength. But, is there any lion-blogging? Sure, I want him to share his remark-able knowledge.
I know blogging is a cat pri-vi-lege. At least here in my sur-round-ing. I have never seen a human being bringing computer near a cow. Or share his place with those impolite chickens, while blogging. That's the fun of being a cat. A liter-ate cat. An edu-cat-ed cat is different from a well edu-cat-ed man. I bet grammar police will seize me if they ever read this. And I'm sure this make you a bit in–con-ve-nient. in reading. I beg your pardon.
I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

Started by a team of Polish founders in New York, Deep.BI creates advanced AI-based analytical solutions for digital media publishers. In May this year, the company raised a seed round of PLN 4.8 m (EUR 1,1 m) total from Black Pearls VC (PLN 3m, EUR 700k) and a few Polish business angels (PLN 1,8 m, EUR 400k) involved with the media industry. Also recently, National Center for Research and Development supported Deep.BI with PLN 7 m (EUR 1,6 m). Deep.BI tools are already used by Gremi Media, SME, De Groene Amsterdammer and Human Rights Watch.
Deep.BI is an analytical tool based on proprietary real-time data platform that equips digital media publishers with full knowledge of their audience's response to the content they publish. The artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms used in Deep.BI allow in-depth analysis of interactions between users and the content. The tool allows publishers to constantly improve the quality of their products based on comprehensively measured preferences of their clients.
Deep.BI has been founded by three Poles in New York. From the very beginning the team has been focused on selling on the global market . The company cooperates with Human Rights Watch or De Groene Amsterdamer or EZUniverse. Sebastian Zontek, Jarosław Góra and Wojciech Woziwodzki are also actively involved in the Polish market: Gremi Media is already using Deep.BI, and first tests are ongoing in the Polska Press Group. They also work with a team of scientists from the Department of Computer Science of Poznań University of Technology aiming at the development of advanced artificial intelligence algorithms used in recommendation and subscription processes.
The process of media digitalization is unstoppable and so is the transfer of their revenues into the digital world, where those who have been here much earlier are more powerful. Google and Facebook consume the majority of advertising revenues, which is why publishers are switching to subscription models. Thanks to the comprehensive knowledge about how readers respond to the content, publishers can adapt better to the expectations of users and effectively build lasting relationships with them. That's where we can help.
Tools for effective subscription sales are now a priority for Deep.BI. The company is currently implementing a project aiming to expand the capabilities of analysis and Data Science solutions with intelligent subscription sales tools such as content recommendations and irregularity detection. The development of these tools will be supported with PLN 7 m (EUR 1,6) financing received from the National Center for Research and Development.
Black Pearls VC invested PLN 3 m (EUR 700 k) in Deep.BI from the Black Pearls VC II fund. As for the Black Pearls VC team, Maciej Skórkiewicz (Partner) and Aleksander Dobrzyniecki (Investment Manager) were involved in the Deep.BI investment transaction.
Publishers already know that subscriptions are the future of their revenues. The market also gets used to it. According to forecasts, by the end of this year, 50% of adult users in developed countries will buy an online subscription for at least two titles. The fight for the client will take place not only on the level of content quality, but also on the technological level. Deep.BI gives publishers the tool to effectively convert users and creates the basis for the success of the digitization process.
Deep.BI raised the remaining 1.8 million PLN (EUR 400 k), from Polish business angels related to the media industry. Among them are: Piotr Walter, Tomasz Józefacki, Krzysztof Dębowski and Adam Sawicki.
The growing popularity of subscription models among media companies proves that the model based solely on the revenues from online advertising is not effective enough. Direct sales of digital content - for thats what subscription sales really is - requires caring for relations with the readers. The best way to do it, is through the quality of content. Deep.BI provides publishers with the necessary data and algorithms that lead to sales of digital subscriptions increase. Increased revenues allow publishers to invest in content quality development and as a result, everyone will benefit.

Spain is Working Hard to Achieve 100% Renewable Energy
The streets of Pamplona, Spain become filled with positive energy every July as thousands of tourists flock to the city in the famous running of the bulls. But if the Spanish company Acciona meets its goal, 100% of all the country's energy could soon come from the city which is increasingly known as a hot spot for renewable energy as reported by ibtimes.com.
Acciona committed roughly $68.69 million into five manufacturing facilities in 2015 to expand its production of wind turbines and achieve its goal. The company accounts for 70% of Spain's renewable electricity. According to Miguel Ezpeleta, Acciona's control centre director, they think the people are going to tell him he's crazy, but they are pretty sure that they will arrive at 100%.
At one point in November of last year, Acciona's wind energy provided 70% of Spain's electrical needs. A daytime record was achieved last January, when 54% of Spain's electricity use was powered by wind.
At their Pamplona control centre and headquarters, large screens allow Acciona employees to zoom in on its wind turbines and determine where to place blades or if maintenance are required. This enables employees to predict and forecast wind patterns to get the most amount of energy production possible.
As many experts have said, wind is unpredictable, but on any given day, the 9,500 state-of-the art wind turbines controlled Acciona generate enough energy to provide power to more than 29 million households.
Without having gas, oil and very little coal, the Spanish government has invested heavily in wind and solar energy. Spain has become the first country to rely on wind energy as its primary source of energy in 2013. The Spanish government has seen success on the Spanish island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands. This is where the $100 million wind and water turbine farm Gorona del Viento power plant generates all of the island's energy requirements. This makes the island the world's first energy independent island in 2014.
Spain is the 5th largest producer in the world of wind power and the 3rd biggest exporter, according to Science X. 17.4% of Spain's energy comes from renewable sources currently, just short of the European Union target.

Miami Dolphins Sign Running Back Larry Johnson, Think It's 2005
Chris Joseph
Chris Joseph | August 23, 2011 | 12:45pm
The Miami Dolphins signed ex-Chiefs running back Larry Johnson as they continue to bolster and tinker with their running back corps, which was probably the only spot on the roster that didn't entirely suck raccoon balls last year.
Johnson's best and only good seasons were 2005 and 2006, when he rushed for a combined 3,539 yards and 37 touchdowns.
After that, he went to the Redskins, where he rushed for two yards on five carries, and the Bengals, where he was equally shitty. He also has a long history of being a total dick with his coaches, teammates, and fans, and has been arrested several times for allegedly beating up women.
Instead of selecting a quarterback in this year's draft, the Dolphins took a running back, Daniel Thomas, with their second-round pick. Then, during the free-agency period, they signed another running back, Reggie Bush.
Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland loves to talk about "turning over every rock to collect acorns" to find football talent, even though he doesn't really need to turn over anything when talent is sometimes right in his face. The Dolphins went from Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, whom he and Tony Sparano deemed "too old" and "too expensive," and instead are going with a rookie who has yet to show anything good, a walking-injury liability, and a guy who is the NFL equivalent of Lindsay Lohan.
The people who give me shit in the comments section for always being negative about the Dolphins are free to eat an entire bag of acorns.
I mean dicks.
An entire bag of dicks.

Notebook Feature
Telluride and TIFF 2010. Errol Morris's "Tabloid"
David Hudson
"Errol Morris must have felt like it was time to lighten up," writes Eric D Snider at Cinematical. "After his last few documentaries addressed the death penalty, Holocaust deniers, the Vietnam War, and Abu Ghraib, his new one tells an astonishing-but-true story about an insane-but-functional woman named Joyce McKinney. It's called Tabloid, and its purpose is not enlightenment but entertainment."
"It's the funniest farce of 2010," declares Tim Appelo. "In three days of shooting, Morris bagged his most astounding character ever, Joyce McKinney, a see-through-blouse wearing North Carolina beauty-queen acting student turned S&M hooker with boobs out to here, an alleged 168 IQ, and such a yen for a Mormon boy (inexplicably, since he's built like the Pillsbury Doughboy) that she hunted him down with a gun on his Mormon mission, manacled him to a bed, opened his magic underwear and... but I don't want to spoil it for you. And that's not the half of it."
Also at Thompson on Hollywood, Meredith Brody: "I ask Morris how he found the story. He says he read an article in his hometown paper, The Boston Globe, about a woman who had her beloved pitbull Booger cloned in Korea, and that there was a single sentence near the end of the piece that mentioned that she'd been involved in a sex scandal decades earler.... I still wonder how Morris convinced her to appear on screen, bubbly, vivacious, and seemingly happy to revisit the events of 1977 and beyond. Everybody's favorite Joyce quote in Tabloid, re: the impossibility of raping a man: 'It'd be like squeezing a marshmallow into a parking meter.'"
Variety's Peter Debruge reminds us that McKinney was "a favorite punching bag of the Blighty press back in 1978... Though she sold some rights to London's Daily Express at the time, McKinney never got to tell the full story of her involvement in the Kirk Anderson kidnapping. Tabloid reps the next best thing — better, actually, as Morris's cheeky 'as told to' format proves infinitely more entertaining than a straightforward memoir could be. No sooner does the yellow journalism star attempt to clear the record than Morris, seizing upon certain buzzwords in her story, begins to flash screaming 72-point headlines across the screen: Guilt! Spread eagling! Impotence! Rape! (And later, for the biggest laugh in the movie, 'Minibar.')"
"[J]ust when the story seems to have been fully unveiled, Morris takes us in a completely different direction in a 'wait, it gets better' sort of denouement," writes Kristopher Tapley at In Contention. "He's clearly as dumbfounded as we are every step of the way, but he maintains a commendable sense of respect for his subject... This is one of his best films in years (and the second Telluride debut of his career)."
And at Telluride, notes Hitfix's Gregory Ellwood, "Morris warned everyone in attendance at the late night premiere that he was worried that while everything in the film is true, audiences still wouldn't believe it."
"Morris clearly invested so much time and energy in McKinney's story because he saw her as emblematic of our crazed times," writes Stephen Farber in the Hollywood Reporter. "Others might wonder whether the sad saga deserves quite this much attention, but there's no denying the film's morbid fascination."
On to Toronto. Tue Sep 07 03:47:03 via web errolmorris
errolmorris
And Tabloid screens there on Sunday, Monday and September 19.
Updates, 9/14: "Joyce claimed Kirk had been brainwashed by the Church of Latter-Day Saints, their weekend in the cottage was their honeymoon, and in tying him spread-eagled to the bed and initiating intercourse with him seven times, she was merely trying to wrestle the man she loved back from the clutches of a religion that had made him hate himself for loving her," blogs Karina Longworth for the Voice. "Morris doesn't seem to have much interest in sorting out truth from perception. Heard off camera asking his subjects questions, his tone is generally indulgent, giggly when it could be probing, too gee-whiz drunk on the escalating weirdness to sift out a larger point―other than that sexy women are plenty scary, but slightly less so than Mormons."
For the Boston Globe's Wesley Morris, this is "one of the festival's best movies." McKinney "sits before the director's patented cameras, looks right at us, and proceeds to reveal why she might be one of the planet's most entertainingly weird people.... This is a true feat of tone."
And for indieWIRE's Eric Kohn, this is "not a major work, but still a wildly funny portrait that succeeds at inducing the incredulity Morris always seeks out."
Update, 9/16: Via Livia Bloom at Filmmaker, the poster:
This is a film "about how easy it is to skew a story for entertainment purposes, and thereby make celebrities of people who haven't really done anything except be nutty," writes Noel Murray at the AV Club. "Case-in-point: Tabloid itself, which is as crazily entertaining as it is unpredictable." Adds Scott Tobias (they both give Tabloid an A-), "Mostly, it's just endlessly curious in the familiar Morris way: Curious about another in his career-long gallery of eccentrics, curious about British tabloid culture, and curious about how radically stories are distorted, by outlets looking for an angle and by individuals who reserve their greatest deceits for themselves."
Update, 9/18: Viewing. Roger Ebert interviews Morris.
Update, 9/19: "A lark, maybe, but a truly disturbing work," finds Fernando F Croce at the House Next Door.

Atop a steep street off Figueroa in Highland Park, this house, built in 1950, is in a prime location for views of neighboring hillsides. Two patios offer great vantage points for taking in those vistas.
Inside, the house has been totally updated, with only a few elements here and there hinting at its age, like the hardwood floors that run throughout the residence and fabulous and sunny, vintage-looking custom cabinets in the kitchen.
The house's two bedrooms are ample in size, and one even includes a connection to the outdoors via a pair of French doors. The lower level includes living space and a "bonus" half bathroom.
The property's yard is minimally landscaped, and manages to look both appealing and low-maintenance.
Last sold in 2015 for $721,000, public records show, it's now listed for $859,000.

Long Beach, CA, June 16, 2015 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The rapper and songwriter from Arizona known as Jagger Spacy has released his debut EP album, "Jagger Spacy." The self-titled record contains four original Spacy tracks, including his two surprise hit singles, "When I'm Gone" and "Where'd You Go?" the latter of which gained extra momentum with the appearance of Spacy's debut official video for the track in April. These singles, the video and the highly awaited debut EP, "Jagger Spacy," have all been published independent of corporate music record labels.
A modern rap record that fans of hip hop and pop alike can dig deep into, "Jagger Spacy" by Jagger Spacy is full of heart, built on bass, and solid proof that this young rapper's ready for the big time.
Jagger Spacy has cited Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift as main artistic influences for his self-titled EP, and attributes of both are clearly heard throughout the record. Also easy to distinguish are tones of Eminem, whom Spacy has also mentioned as one of his inspirations in the past. His similarities with Marshall Mathers are evident in the ease and alacrity with which Spacy flips his phrases around in linguistic loops, twists and hairpin turns.
Unlike Eminem's iconic vocal style, however, is Spacy's determination to pen only radio-friendly lyrics.
Music by Jagger Spacy is more than just catchy sounds, too. This is an artist aiming to change the world.
The "Jagger Spacy" EP by Jagger Spacy is available online worldwide beginning 13 June 2015. Get in early, rap fans.

Q: AngularJS filter already selected options I have 3 selects that all share the same options. As an option is selected in one of them, I want to filter it out of the other selects.
I took a stab at it here and did not have any luck.
http://plnkr.co/edit/ERGTbQSjoX3IpGAomcUn?p=preview
<select name="ques1" ng-model="q1" required>
    <option value="">question</option>
    <option ng-repeat="question in questions | filter: { Id : '!' + q2 } | filter: { Id : '!' + q3 }" value="{{ question.Id }}">{{ question.Question }}</option>
</select>

Any advice? And thanks in advance.

A: I finally make it work. According to the document. You can pass a function as argument to the filter. So I created a function that returns a function which will be passed to filter:
  $scope.negative = function(){
    var arr = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)

     return function(value ,index, array){
       var scope = $scope;

       for(var i = 0 ; i<arr.length ;i++) {
          if(value.Id == scope[arr[i]]) return false;
       }

       return true;

     }
  }

Here is an example

A: Nearly got it:

var app = angular.module('demo', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.q1 = '';
  $scope.q2 = '';
  $scope.q3 = '';

  $scope.questions = [
    { Id: 1, Question: '1 Question' },
    { Id: 2, Question: '2 Question' },
    { Id: 3, Question: '3 Question' },
    { Id: 4, Question: '4 Question' },
    { Id: 5, Question: '5 Question' }
  ];
});

  <form name="form" novalidate>

      <select name="ques1" ng-model="q1" required>
        <option value="">question</option>
        <option ng-repeat="question in questions" value="{{ question.Id }}">{{ question.Question }}</option>
      </select>

question is required

      <select name="ques2" ng-model="q2" required>
        <option value="">question</option>
        <option ng-repeat="question in questions | filter: ({Id: '!' + q1})" value="{{ question.Id }}">{{ question.Question }}</option>
      </select>

question is required

      <select name="ques3" ng-model="q3" required>
        <option value="">question</option>
        <option ng-repeat="question in questions | filter: ({ Id : '!' + q1 }) | filter: ({ Id : '!' + q2 })" value="{{ question.Id }}">{{ question.Question }}</option>

Grant breaks loose
Tom Lynn
Ryan Grant finds a seam and sets up a Packers touchdown in the second half.
By Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel
Published on: 10/25/2009
Cleveland — No one with the Green Bay Packers has said a word to running back Ryan Grant about him needing to pick up his game a notch this season.
But one could see how the addition of veteran Ahman Green and the return to health of Brandon Jackson might send a message that it's time for him to have, oh, say, a 27-carry, 148-yard, one-touchdown performance a week before the Packers play one of the most important games of the season.
If that message was being sent, Grant said after his outstanding day against the lowly Cleveland Browns on Sunday, he hadn't received it. He maintained this was something building up in his system that happened to cut loose at the right time.
"I don't know if it was necessarily (that)," Grant said. "I would say I was excited in general. It's not about a competition. I was the biggest advocate for (Green) to come here. I'm all for what he brings to the table. Anything he can do for me, I can use."
Grant's 148-yard outburst was the third biggest of his career, surpassed only by a 201-yard day against Seattle in the 2007 playoffs and a 156-yard day against Oakland on Dec. 9 of the same year. It also was his first 100-yard day of the season and featured his longest run - 37 yards - since the season opener against Minnesota last year (57 yards).
Grant got the ball early and often as the Packers tried to take advantage of Cleveland's 30th-ranked run defense, which had been weakened even further because of an outbreak of the flu this past week. Unlike previous weeks, Grant ran through arm tackles, drove the pile and bounced inside zone plays outside for sizable gains.
"He ran hard, he had his pads down, he protected the football well, and made a couple guys miss," offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said. "My guess is when we go back and look at those long runs he had, we're going to see that maybe there was a linebacker or a safety who had an arm out or hand out or grabbed an ankle, but he ran through some of those."
All totaled, the Packers ran 41 times for 202 yards, the most they've run the ball in 56 games under coach Mike McCarthy and the most overall since attempting 47 in the season opener against Carolina in 2004.
On the day, Grant had six runs of 8 yards or more and 14 of 4 yards or more. His per-carry average of 5.5 yards far eclipsed his best single-game mark of 4.6 against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 5. He only had two carries in which he lost yardage.
It certainly helped Grant that McCarthy decided he was going to give his lead back a chance to control the game, but more than anything it was a perfect storm of opportunity, very good offensive line play and hard running.
"It was nice to set the tempo early," right guard Josh Sitton said. "It's always nice to start running it, it opens it up for everything. We had some positive plays, so it was nice. Ryan always runs the ball hard, but it seemed like he was running people over today. It always makes you want to block for somebody who's running that hard."
The running game got to build up a lather right away when McCarthy called running plays on 10 of the 11 plays on the first series. Grant got six of them and piled up 27 yards, but Jackson also chipped in with three for 11 yards. Only quarterback Aaron Rodgers' failed quarterback sneak on fourth and 1 at the Cleveland 32 kept the drive from continuing.
Nevertheless, it set the tone for the Packers and put the Browns on notice that they were going to have to be physical all day long in the trenches.
"Once again, the most important running statistic in my view is attempts," McCarthy said. "And we definitely hit the mark today."
Jackson only averaged 3.4 yards per carry, but his ability to squeeze through holes and bounce plays to the outside definitely offered a change of pace to Grant's hard-charging cutbacks on inside zone plays. Playing in only his second game this season because of a high ankle sprain he suffered in the exhibition season, Jackson looked closer to the back the Packers expected when they picked him in the second round in '07.
He wasn't as productive as Grant, but he showed up.
"We're just doing what we know we have to do," Jackson said. "It's all about us. We feel if we can control the tempo, control the game, it's on us to win or lose."
Green was in attendance, but after just a couple of days of practice, he wasn't ready to play and was inactive. While Grant insisted he didn't feel Green breathing down his neck, he said he definitely felt his presence every time he came to the sideline.
"Before the game, we talked and I told him, 'Tell me what the safeties are doing, give me a heads-up early on.' He did a great job of that."
The next task at hand is to find a way to run the ball consistently against a stout Minnesota Vikings team next week. Grant averaged 4.6 yards per carry in the first meeting, but got just 11 carries, a total that probably won't get it done.
"We expect to get it done no matter who we play," Grant said. "We have the ability to get it done. We've proved it."

Most of us live hectic lives here on earth, especially those of us living in urban areas and in screen-dominated, information-rich, and entertainment-filled environments. It can be hard to find a moment of silence, a dose of nature, or just a short break from thinking, and a moment of just being. Even the parks and gardens we visit for relaxation can be busy, especially on the weekends.
As we become more and more connected to the rest of the world, we seem to become less and less connected to nature, the present moment and our core of inner stillness.
There?s plenty of research to demonstrate that spending time in silent nature is good for us, even essential for our health and happiness, yet how come we don't we make more effort each day to do these things?
Acoustic ecologist and Emmy Award winning sound recordist Gordon Hempton believes that preserving natural silence is as necessary as species preservation. He considers rescuing silence to be less difficult than many of the other challenges we face -but first we have to recognize its value.
Research shows that we humans are soothed by the sound of nature and that too much man-made noise (even just a little) generates harmful levels of stress in our bodies and minds.
In one particular study, researchers tested the reading, memory, hearing and attention of children at schools near the site of the old and new airport in Munich, before and after its relocation. Results were clear: children exposed to the aircraft noise developed a stress response that enabled them to ignore the sound. But not only did they ignore the harmful stimuli, they also ignored the sounds to which they needed to pay attention, which resulted in the drop of comprehension skills and long-term memory of these children.
What is a Silent Space?
A Silent Space can be seen as the natural version of the dedicated 'quiet coaches' that you can find in some trains. It?s any outdoor place where you stop talking, turn off your phone, put away your camera and leave the world of social media and other distractions. There are no other rules. Simply take this moment to notice the beauty around you. Even 5 minutes can already help you to feel more peace in this green place.
Dr. Sarah Bell of Sensing Nature looked in her research at diverse sensory and emotional experiences of the visually impaired in the natural world. The results suggest that by learning to listen through a phenomenon called ?echolocation? (where you 'feel' sound with your whole body as a form of vibration or pressure in the air), your experience of the natural world could be deepened and enriched.
Where Do We Find a Silent Space?
How different might life be if green places for silent reflection were easily accessible to us all? But where do you find relative silence in nature close to a city? And how do we get people of all ages to prioritize moments of stillness in nature and frequently (preferably daily) visit these locations in their neighborhood?
As an answer to these questions, Ulf Bohman introduced 'The Guide to Silence' in 2013: a project in Stockholm, Sweden, that aims to help people to find green, calm places that can promote well-being and inner stillness. Its particular interest lies in the green places close to or in the cities of the world. Bohman beliefs that everyone has the right to have daily access to a place in nature that is dedicated to silence in the external sense and stillness in the inner sense.
The project currently has identified 70 calm places and 27 walks with diverse natural attributes, from wide lake views to deep forest, and to open cultural landscapes. More than one million people in the city of Stockholm and suburban cities can access these walks directly from their homes and workplaces, or after a short commute.
The Quiet Garden Movement has been helping people to find quiet spaces for over 25 years now. The Movement nurtures access to outdoor space for prayer, silence and reflection in a variety of settings, such as private homes, churches, retreat centres, schools and hospitals ? as well as creating opportunities for people to experience silence through regular quiet days and retreats. With over 300 Quiet Gardens worldwide, you can search for your nearest on the Quiet Garden Movement website.
During the summer of 2016, the not-for-profit project Silent Space?was launched in the United Kingdom. A handful of gardens and parks that open to the public agreed to take part and to reserve an area where people could be silent. For a couple of hours each week, visitors to these quiet areas were invited to switch off their phones and to stop talking.
On their website, you can find an overview of gardens around the United Kingdom that have dedicated Silent Spaces -and if you manage or work in a green place that opens to the public, you can join the Silent Space Scheme and help more people to enjoy peaceful time in green places.
Being silent in a green space can have restorative effects on us, as we're soothed by the sounds of nature. When we connect with the world around us, we also connect more deeply with ourselves. Have you found your own local Silent Space yet? Let us know!

….nope, I'm not pregnant, but that woulda been a good one, huh?
Yes, it's true. We sold our house. Oh, what's that? You thought we had taken it off the market because it sat there for a FULL YEAR without so much as a bite? We did. It was off the market and we weren't even thinking or getting our hopes that it would sell. But then we got a call from our realtor who had a client looking for a home like ours, in his price range, lots of space, in Washington, and were we still wanting to sell?
She showed it to him along with a few other houses and ours was in the running with a couple others, so I didn't get my hopes up at all. The next day, though, we got an offer. We countered, they accepted, and our inspection was yesterday. Inspections are scary. Even if it's a newer home like ours, I still was worried that he'd go into the crawl space and see that a family of crocodiles had chewed through the wall and the damage was irreparable. Thank god the crocodiles hadn't found our crawl space yet because the inspection went really well. We still haven't gotten the official report of things, but last night he told us our home is in really great shape.
So now we are moving.
What do you think you'll see in the pictures below? Do you think you'll see a rural farm? A red barn with pasture? Chicken coop?
Yep that's our new house. It's an older house in a neighborhood. There are zero barns and no chickens. We can't have goats and sheep won't be sheared in this front yard. But do you know what we will have?
An amazing river view. A pool. A house with SO. MUCH. CHARACTER.
You have no idea what you're looking at so let me tell you. That's B's house. B is Charlotte's very best friend and having her next door is going to be the best ever!!!! And Olive is going to have 2 new friends this fall (yeah, Tara's totally growing twins). We could not be more thrilled.
We close on the 14th of June and I feel like I might burst from excitement!

I have a crap ton of memories in that house. Mainly because B's house was this B's house from 1987-2006. I could roller skate down your future driveway and into mine at lightning speed. During that stretch, there were more elderly people than kids in the hood. Glad to see a new cycle of youngins taking over.
So happy for you…looks like a great house for the fam….
