There is very little the opposition can do when David Warner and Jonny Bairstow go on the rampage. Kolkata Knight Riders discovered it much to their dismay here on Sunday.
He is expected to play a vital role in India's World Cup campaign in England but chinaman Kuldeep Yadav's slump prompted Kolkata Knight Riders team management to drop him from the playing XI against Sunrisers Hyderabad barely six weeks before the big event.
Pacer Navdeep Saini, who is among India's standbys for the World Cup, says he is ready for his big break in the mega event should the need arises.
Seven spectators have been arrested in connection with cricket betting from the Eden Gardens here during the Indian Premier League (IPL) game between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), police said on Saturday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore eked out a 10-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders for only their second success of the season after Andre Russell and Nitish Rana nearly pulled off the impossible. Needing 113 runs off the last six overs, Russell (65 off 25) and Rana (85 not out off 46) almost got their team over the line but Moeen Ali managed to defend 24 in the final over.
Virat Kohli smashed his first century of the season after Moeen Ali's blistering knock as Royal Challengers Bangalore amassed 213 for four against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League on Friday.
KKR will definitely fancy their chances against RCB, who have lost seven of their eight games so far. The Knights had beaten them in Bengaluru and there's no reason why they can't do a double on Virat Kohli's men.
Their house in complete disorder after seven defeats from eight outings, the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will be desperate for a win to stay afloat in the IPL when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
Here are the big sports events lined up for Friday (April 19) that comprise the action from Indian Premier League 2019 and Europa League quarterfinal matches.
Kolkata Knight Riders' impact player Andre Russell was forced to skip the practice session on Thursday, owing to a shoulder injury sustained while batting in the nets on Wednesday.
Drafted into India's World Cup squad as a back-up wicket-keeper, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Dinesh Karthik feels focus will be back on IPL now that the selectors have picked the 15-man team for the showpiece event.
After three defeats in a row, Kolkata Knight Riders suddenly find themselves in a spot of bother in IPL-12. But the players are keeping their chin up.
Struggling with a back spasm, Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was on Wednesday rested for their IPL clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the first time he is not leading the yellow brigade since 2010.
Mumbai Indians all-rounder Ben Cutting on Wednesday said his team has been keeping a close eye on the Delhi Capitals' campaign in the IPL.
Kolkata Knight Riders are not too concerned about the presence of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in Royal Challengers Bangalore's ranks as they are focusing more on getting their IPL campaign back on track after a hat-trick of losses, left-arm seamer Harry Gurney said on Wednesday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore's poor IPL run is in no way a reflection of skipper Virat Kohli's acumen, who will come good for India at the upcoming World Cup, feels New Zealand and Kolkata Knight Riders speedster Lockie Ferguson.
Prasidh Krishna and Navdeep Saini may not be household names yet, but they would be pleased to know that the consistent pace that these young fast bowlers have generated in IPL-12 has impressed non other than speed merchant Brett Lee, who's been following the league closely as a commentator.
The Kolkata Knight Riders were boosted by the arrival of pacer Matt Kelly on Tuesday. The Australian speedster joined the side in place of injured South African paceman Anrich Nortje.
A World Cup spot sealed, it is time for Dinesh Karthik to achieve his "goal" of lifting the IPL trophy, Kolkata Knight Riders batting coach Simon Katich said on Tuesday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli believes his side needs to keep a calm head during pressure situations and take on the half chances to secure victory in the remaining games of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League.
Imran Tahir proved there is merit to the cricket adage that spinners get better with age after the South African claimed 4-27 in Chennai Super Kings' five-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday.
Suresh Raina showed flashes of his old form and was involved in two fruitful partnerships - with skipper Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja - to guide the visitors to a five-wicket victory.
Kolkata Knight Riders would look to overturn their two-match losing run and clip the wings of high-flying Chennai Super Kings, who currently sit on top of the points table with six wins from seven games so far.
Table-toppers Chennai Super Kings will look to complete the double against Kolkata Knight Riders, just like Delhi Capitals did, when the two teams clash in an IPL match on Sunday.
Kolkata Knight Riders have lost two games in a row and another defeat on Sunday would not help their cause as other teams are fast catching up on the second spot.
On Sunday, much talk at the Eden Gardens will centre around Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni, who stormed on to the playing arena at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur to protest against the umpires' refusal to call a no-ball on a waist high full-toss from Rajasthan Royals' Ben Stokes on Thursday.
Here are the big sports events lined up for Sunday (April 14) that comprise the action from Indian Premier League 2019.
In-form senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has not travelled with the Chennai Super Kings team for their away IPL game against Kolkata Knight Riders as he is recovering from a neck injury and also attending to family issues.
After becoming the first team to register 100 victories in IPL this season, Mumbai Indians now own another record of playing 200 matches in the T20 cricket - the most by any team in the shortest format of the game. Of 200 matches, MI played 178 in the IPL while their 22 games came in the now defunct Champions League Twenty20.

Climate Act Risks Being Politically Obfuscated and Obscured
[Editor's Note: New York's Climate Act is risk, risk and more risk, but every bit of it is being obfuscated, obscured and hidden by bureaucrats and politicians with an agenda.]
The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act) has a legal mandate for New York State greenhouse gas emissions to meet the ambitious net-zero goal by 2050. On April 1, 2022 the Department of Environmental Conservation's Strategic Communications Director for Climate sent an email to the mailing list of people who have signed up to learn about climate news and developments. On the same day I ran across a superb summary entitled Inconvenient Truths About Energy. This post summarizes the Denver Gazette perspective piece by Chris Wright in the context of the Climate Act.
I have written extensively on implementation of the Climate Act because I believe the ambitions for a zero-emissions economy outstrip available renewable technology such that it will adversely affect reliability and affordability, risk safety, affect lifestyles, and will have worse impacts on the environment than the purported effects of climate change in New York.
New York's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are less than one half one percent of global emissions and since 1990 global GHG emissions have increased by more than one half a percent per year. Moreover, the reductions cannot measurably affect global warming when implemented. The opinions expressed in this post do not reflect the position of any of my previous employers or any other company I have been associated with, these comments are mine alone.
Climate Act Background
The Climate Act establishes a "Net Zero" target by 2050. The Climate Action Council is responsible for preparing the Scoping Plan that will "achieve the State's bold clean energy and climate agenda". They were assisted by Advisory Panels who developed and presented strategies to the meet the goals to the Council. Those strategies were used to develop the integration analysis prepared by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and its consultants that quantified the impact of the strategies. That analysis was used to develop the Draft Scoping Plan that was released for public comment on December 30, 2021.
Climate Action Council Draft Scoping Plan Comments and Toolkit
In 2022, the Climate Action Council is required to finalize the Scoping Plan. At the first Climate Action Council meeting on March 3, 2022 (recording here) the activity plan overview shown below mentioned a plan to rollout communications and educational materials. The email sent on April 1 under the title "Climate Action Council Draft Scoping Plan Comments and Toolkit" is part of the rollout of those materials.
I agree with the letter's point that encouraging all New Yorkers to review the Draft Scoping Plan and share comments by June 10, 2022 is important and necessary. According to the text:
This email serves as a resource and toolkit on how you can comment and be involved in the process, and to help the Council spread the word and encourage others to weigh in on the Draft Scoping Plan. An overview of the plan for your review and use can be found here. Additional overview slide decks specific to each sector are forthcoming. There are several ways to provide public comments, with oral and written comments receiving equal weight.
1. The Council will be holding 10 public hearings, eight in-person and two virtual, in April and May. Additional information on the public hearings and the option to pre-register for hearings can be found here.
2. Comments can also be submitted via the online public comment form here or via email to
3. Comments can also be sent via U.S. Mail to Attention: Draft Scoping Plan Comments, NYSERDA, 17 Columbia Circle, Albany, NY 12203-6399.
I believe that one of the problems with the Climate Action Council is that they do not recognize the complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity of the existing knowledge about climate change and naively believe that transitioning to zero-emissions solutions will be simple. In no small part that has been reinforced by the ignoring anyone who does not subscribe to that narrative. I think that the rollout of these communications and educational materials will continue to disregard any inconvenient issues.
The email also notes:
If you would like to request a presentation on the Draft Scoping Plan for your group or organization, please email
. Requests will be accommodated based on staffing and scheduling.
If you would like to be more involved in the process and help in our efforts to increase awareness about the Scoping Plan and the state's overall climate efforts, please see the social media toolkit below, or email
with additional opportunities and/or questions. Spreading the word about this opportunity and increasing awareness of the Climate Act is crucial to the successful implementation of the law.
Unfortunately, there is every indication that the public comment process is intended to simply fulfill the requirement to have a public comment period and not develop information to improve the transition plan. Soliciting help to increase awareness and "spreading the word about this opportunity" suggests that a primary purpose for the communications rollout is propaganda. I doubt very much that the Strategic Communications Director for Climate intends this public awareness campaign to address risks to reliability and affordability.
My Citizens Guide to the Climate Act is intended to be a layman summary of the net-zero transition. I developed it to try to highlight transition risks. I have posted articles recommending books that do a much better job than I have done to explain the problems here and here. Unfortunately reading a book is a big commitment and I have been looking for a more concise description problems with the net-zero transition. I am happy to point out that Inconvenient Truths About Energy describes most of the issues that worry me.
Chris Wright is chairman and CEO of Liberty Energy, a Denver-based hydraulic fracturing company. Much of the material in this is also included in his company's 2020 ESG report. If the article described here interests you then I recommend that report as well. There is a wealth of more detailed information supporting his assertions there.
Inconvenient Truths About Energy
The following sections reproduce the Inconvenient Truths About Energy article with my comments.
The energy transition is not happening. Or not nearly at the pace that everyone believes or wishes. At current rates the "transition" is set to finish in the mid-2600s. The U.N. Rio Convention and subsequent Kyoto Protocol launched the energy transition drive in 1992. Global energy consumption from hydrocarbons has grown massively since then, with market share only declining by four percentage points over the last 30 years from 87% in 1992 to 83% today. I am not celebrating this fact as I have spent years working on energy transition technologies.
Using the latest available data for New York, hydrocarbon market share has decreased from 82% to 71% over the last 30 years.
The energy transition isn't failing for lack of earnest effort. It is failing because energy is hard, and 3 billion people living in energy poverty are desperate for reliable and scalable energy sources. Meanwhile, 1 billion energy-rich people are resistant to diminishing their standard of living with higher cost and an increasingly unreliable energy diet.
That the energy transition is hard is not recognized by most members of the Climate Action Council.
There is no "climate crisis" either. If there is a term more at odds with the exhaustive literature surveys of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) than "climate crisis," I have not heard it.
Climate change is a real global challenge that is extensively studied. Unfortunately, the facts and rational dialogue about the myriad tradeoffs aren't reaching policy makers, the media, or activist groups. Or are they are simply ignoring these inconvenient truths?
For example, we hear endlessly about the rise in frequency and intensity of extreme weather. This narrative is highly effective at scaring people and driving political action. It is also false. The reality is detailed in countless publications and summarized in the IPCC reports. Deaths from extreme weather have plunged over the last century, reaching new all-time lows last year, an outcome to be celebrated. This is not because extreme weather has declined. In fact, extreme weather shows no meaningful trend at all. Deaths from extreme weather events have declined because highly energized, wealthier societies are much better prepared to survive nature's wrath.
I completely endorse this summary. The 2020 ESG report documents these facts.
You are not supposed to say out loud that there is no climate crisis or that the energy transition is proceeding at a glacial pace. These are unfashionable and, to many, offensive facts. But let's be honest. Energy transition ambitions must recognize reality. Otherwise, poor investment decisions and regulatory frameworks will lead to surging global-energy and food prices. This is exactly what is happening. We are here today in large part because energy transition efforts that previously encompassed solely aggressive support of alternative energy policies, economics be damned, have recently supplemented this strategy with growing efforts to obstruct fossil fuel development. Fossil fuels make the modern world possible.
The real crisis today is an energy crisis. It began to reveal itself last fall with a severe shortage in globally traded Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). The LNG crisis has not abated and it gives Russia's Vladimir Putin tremendous leverage over Europe. Without Russian gas, the lights in Europe go out. Amid war, public outrage, and intense sanctions, Russian gas flows to Europe remain unchanged. Russian oil exports have continued with minimal interruption. The world can talk tough about sanctioning Russian energy exports, but those exports are vitally needed; hence they continue. Energy security equals national security.
The world energy system, critical to human wellbeing, requires meaningful spare capacity to handle inevitable bumps in the road. In the electricity sector, which represents only 20% of global energy but 40% in wealthy countries, this is called reserve capacity. In the oil market, spare production capacity today is shrinking and concentrated in OPEC nations like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Also, there is a massive global storage network in both surface tanks and underground caverns. In natural gas markets, there are both extensive underground storage reservoirs and typically spare export capacity through pipelines and large industrial LNG export and import facilities.
The last several years have seen this spare capacity whittled away due partly to lower commodity prices and poor corporate returns shrinking the appetite to invest. Excess capacity has also shrunk due to regulatory blockage of critical energy infrastructure like pipelines and export terminals. Roadblocks for well permitting and leasing on federal lands, together with a mass public miseducation campaign on energy and climate alarmism, are also stymieing hydrocarbon development. Investment capital is further constrained by a corporate Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) movement, and divestment campaigns. These factors are shrinking hydrocarbon investment below what it otherwise would be in response to price signals and outlook for supply and demand. The net result is a constrained supply of oil, natural gas, and coal, which means higher prices and greater risk of market dislocations like the one unfolding today.
High energy and food price inflation is the cruelest form of tax on the poor. After a few specific examples, I'll return to what we should do now to reverse these damaging and deeply inequitable trends.
The Scoping Plan strategies will inevitably impact affordability and reliability and those least able to respond will be affected the most.
Why does the world today suffer from a severe shortage of LNG? Demand for natural gas has been growing strongly for decades. It provides a much cleaner substitute for coal in electricity production, home heating, and a myriad of industrial and petrochemical uses. Rising displacement of coal by natural gas has been the largest source of GHG emission reductions. Unfortunately, the aforementioned factors have prevented supply from keeping pace with rising demand. Energy shortages drive rapid prices rises and have cascading impacts on everything else. Energy is foundational to everything humans do. Everything.
Perhaps the most critical use of natural gas is nitrogen fertilizer production. Roughly a century ago, two German chemists, both subsequently awarded Nobel Prizes, developed a process to produce nitrogen fertilizer on an industrial scale. Before the Haber-Bosch process innovation, nitrogen content in soil was a major constraint on crop productivity. Existing nitrogen sources from bird guano, manure, and rotating cultivation of pea crops were limited. Today, elimination of natural gas-synthesized nitrogen fertilizer would cut global food production in half.
The now six-months-long LNG crisis translates into a worldwide food crisis as skyrocketing fertilizer prices are cascading into much higher food prices. Wheat prices are already at a record high and will likely head higher as spring plantings suffer from under fertilization.
Global LNG markets are tight because rising demand has outrun the growth in LNG export capacity in the United States, now the largest LNG exporter. We have an abundance of natural gas in the United States. Unfortunately, we have a shortage of pipelines to transport this gas and LNG export terminals, preventing us from relieving the energy crisis in Europe and around the world. These pipeline and export terminal shortages are due in large part to regulatory blockage. The result is that natural gas prices in the United States and Canada are five to ten times lower than in Asia and Europe. This deeply disadvantages consumers and factories (like fertilizer factories) in Europe and Asia that rely on LNG imports to fulfill their needs.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine did not cause today's energy crisis. Quite the reverse. Today's energy crisis is likely an important factor in why Russia chose to invade Ukraine now. Europe's energy situation is both tenuous and highly dependent on Russian imports. Russia is the second-largest oil and natural gas producer after the United States. Russia is the largest exporter of natural gas, supplying over 40% of Europe's total demand.
Additionally, Russia is the largest source of imported oil and coal to Europe. Europe put itself in this unenviable position by pursuing unrealistic, politically-driven policies attempting to rapidly transition its energy sources to combat climate change. Europe's energy pivot has been a massive failure on all fronts: higher energy costs, grave energy insecurity, and negligible climate impacts.
New York's unrealistic, politically-driven Climate Act policies attempting to rapidly transition our energy sources to combat climate change will inevitably follow Europe's massive failure on all fronts: higher energy costs, grave energy insecurity, and negligible climate impacts.
Germany is the poster child of this failure. In 2000, Germany set out to decarbonize its energy system, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on this effort over the last 20 years. Germany only marginally reduced its dependence on hydrocarbons from 84% in 2000 to 78% today. The United States matched this 6% decline in hydrocarbon market share from 86% in 2000 to 80% today.
Unlike in the US, Germany more than doubled its electricity prices — before the recent massive additional price increases — by creating a second electric grid. This second grid is comprised of massive wind and solar electric generating sources that only deliver 20% of nameplate capacity on average, and often less than 5% for days at a time. The sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow.
Hence, Germany could only shrink legacy coal, gas and nuclear capacity by 15%. It now must pay to maintain both grids. The legacy grid must always be flexing up and down in a wildly inefficient manner to keep the lights on, hospitals functioning, homes heated, and factories powered. Outside of the electricity sector, Germany's energy system is largely unchanged. It has long had high taxes on gasoline and diesel for transportation, and lower energy taxes on industry. Germany subsidizes industrial energy prices attempting to avoid the near-complete deindustrialization that the UK has suffered due to expensive energy policies across the board.
If the Climate Action Council ignores the requirements for reliable and affordable in Public Service Chapter 48, Article 4 § 66-p. Establishment of a renewable energy program then the result will be same here.
Over the last 20 years, the United States has seen two shale revolutions, first in natural gas and then in oil. The net result has been the U.S. producing greater total energy than consumed in 2019 and 2020 for the first time since the 1950s. The U.S. went from the largest importer of natural gas to the second-largest exporter in less than fifteen years, all with private capital and innovation.
The shale revolution lowered domestic and global energy prices due to surging growth in U.S. production. Surging US propane exports are reducing the cost and raising the availability of clean cooking and heating fuels for those in dire energy poverty still burning wood, dung, and agricultural waste to cook their daily meals. U.S. GHG emissions also plunged to the lowest level on a per capita basis since 1960. Imagine the world's energy situation today with the American shale revolution.
We are starting to hamstring and squander the enormous benefits of the shale revolution. The same misinformed anti-hydrocarbon crusade that impoverished Europe and made it heavily dependent on Russia is now sweeping the US. California and New England had already adopted European-style energy policies driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and driving manufacturing and other energy-intensive, blue-collar jobs out of their states. Colorado is not far behind.
The article ignores New York but the Liberty ESG 2020 report calls out New York's irrational war on hydrocarbons.
California, a state with a plentitude of blessings, managed to create the highest adjusted poverty rate in the nation with an expensive, unstable power grid increasingly reliant on coal-powered electricity imports from Nevada and Utah.
New England's proximity to Pennsylvania's clean low-cost natural gas resources was a stroke of luck. But it refused to expand the natural gas pipelines running from Pennsylvania, leaving it chronically short of natural gas, its largest source of electricity and cleanest option for home heating. Instead, it remains heavily reliant on fuel oil for home heating and occasionally imports LNG from Russia to keep the lights on. Last winter New England burned copious amounts of fuel oil to produce electricity which went out of fashion in the 1970s elsewhere in the US.
New York's pipeline policies have also contributed to this absurd situation.
Texas has not been immune from energy illiteracy and collateral damage. Texas' poorly designed electric grid, structured to encourage investment in renewables, led to hundreds dying last year in the Uri cold spell. No one would pay the same price for an Uber that showed up whenever convenient for the driver and dropped you off wherever they desired. But that is what Texas does with electricity: paying the same price for reliable electricity that balances the grid as they do for unreliable, unpredictable electricity. No wonder the reliability of the Texas grid has declined and is headed for more trouble.
The common thread in these cases is unrealistic beliefs in how rapidly new energy systems can replace demand for hydrocarbons, currently at all-time highs. Political intervention and miscalculation have led to over-investment in unreliable energy sources and, far worse, under-investment in reliable energy sources and infrastructure. The full costs of this colossal malinvestment have been somewhat hidden from view as spare capacity in the global energy network has mostly kept the train on the tracks. Now that excess capacity has shrunk to a critically low level, more impacts are hitting home.
New York's environmental community fully subscribes to the naïve belief that today's wind, solar, and energy storage technologies are capable of rapidly replacing hydrocarbons and are advocating for legislation to accelerate the transition requirements in the Climate Act.
Like the disease itself, the cure takes years to run its course. But that longer time frame is no excuse not to act now in a thoughtful fashion to begin rectifying historical blunders. Steel, cement, plastics and fertilizer are the four building blocks of the modern world and all are highly reliant on hydrocarbons.
Most critically this means removing the growing myriad obstacles to hydrocarbon development, justified in the name of fighting climate change. This is nonsense. Overly cumbersome hurdles to hydrocarbon development in the U.S. do nothing to change oil and gas demand. They simply displace U.S. production overseas where production practices are less stringent and less ethical. Resulting in increased GHG emissions and other air pollutants, reduced economic opportunities for Americans, and increased geopolitical leverage of Russia and OPEC — see the invasion of Ukraine.
Climate change is a long-term problem best addressed with technologies cost-effective today like natural gas, energy efficiency, and nuclear. The solution requires combining today's commercial low-carbon energy sources with research and technology development in carbon sequestration, next-generation geothermal, and economical energy storage to make solar and wind more viable.
New York's policies that prematurely eliminate nuclear and natural gas technologies that have markedly reduced air pollution and environmental impacts for unproven solar, wind, and energy storage technologies is analogous to jumping out of a perfectly good airplane without a parachute hoping that the concept of a parachute will be developed, proven technically and economically feasible, and then delivered in time to provide a soft landing.
Today, the price mechanism must destroy energy demand to bring it in line with short-term supply. This reduces the quality of living, especially for low-income families. The price mechanism will also incent new supply to the extent possible in the face of growing regulatory hurdles, infrastructure shortages, and capital starvation. A revaluation of all three of these factors is urgently needed. Is the overarching goal "energy transition" at all costs? Or is it humane policies that better human lives and expand opportunities for all? We need to replace the former mindset with the latter.
New York has the lowest per capita energy usage in the US so the low-hanging fruit for energy demand reductions are gone. New York's ban on hydraulic fracking ensures that we cannot control the price of new supply. The inevitable result will be higher costs for low-income families.
Unfortunately, the belief that climate change is an existential threat has become a matter of religious dogma for many and no rational arguments can dissuade them from that belief. I fear that the unrelenting propaganda that we can ban hydrocarbons and get an energy system that is greener and cheaper is leading to a similar dogmatic position. Those emotional beliefs have brought us to the precipice of the Climate Act where costs will skyrocket and dangerous impacts to reliability are likely.
However, all the evidence suggests that the supporters of net-zero transition programs haven't thought they would have to pay much for it, or alter their own lifestyles. An honest communications rollout would explain that lifestyle changes are needed and that there are affordability and reliability risks. It would also quantify the expected effect of the Climate Act on climate change so that New York's citizens could have the opportunity to provide comments based on all information.
I am not optimistic that will happen. Stay tuned to this space because I am working on my own overview presentation of the Climate Act's risks to reliability and affordability. Needless to say it will very likely differ in tone and content from the State's version.

UK wages fall among sharpest in EU
Figures show real wage value has fallen 5.5% since 2010, more than in eurozone crisis countries such as Spain and Cyprus
Only Greek, Portuguese and Dutch wages suffered a steeper decline than the UK, according to House of Commons library data. Photograph: Alamy
Sun 11 Aug 2013 09.12 EDT
The value of UK workers' wages has suffered one of the sharpest falls in the EU, House of Commons library figures show.
The 5.5% reduction in average hourly wages since mid-2010, adjusted for inflation, means British workers have felt the squeeze more than those in countries hit by the eurozone crisis. Spanish workers's wages dropped by 3.3% over the same period and in Cyprus salaries fell by 3% in real terms.
Only Greek, Portuguese and Dutch wages suffered a steeper decline than the UK, the analysis showed, while they rose by 2.7% in Germany and 0.4% in France.
Across the EU as a whole the average fall in wages, adjusted for the European Central Bank' s harmonised index of consumer prices, was 0.7% and in eurozone area 0.1%.
The shadow Treasury minister, Cathy Jamieson, said: "These figures show the full scale of David Cameron's cost of living crisis. Working people are not only worse off under the Tories, we're also doing much worse than almost all other EU countries.
"Despite out of touch claims by ministers, life is getting harder for ordinary families as prices continue rising faster than wages. People on middle and low incomes have also seen tax rises and cuts to tax credits, while millionaires have been given a huge tax cut.
"Ministers keep talking about the global race, but when it comes to living standards it's clear we're losing. David Cameron and George Osborne's economic policies have badly failed over the last three years and working people are paying a heavy price.
"Labour would help middle and low income families right now, including with a lower 10p starting rate of tax, action to tackle soaring energy bills and protecting tax credits for working families by reversing the tax cut for millionaires."
Labour has sought to highlight the rising cost of living in its attacks on the government's economic policies.
Incomes will be £1,520 lower in real terms in 2015 than in 2010, according to Labour analysis of Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts.
Cameron has overseen 35 consecutive months of falling real wages, more than any other prime minister on record, and spending power has dropped in every month but one under coalition rule as price rises outstrip wage increases.
Apart from Cameron, James Callaghan is the only prime minister on record to have overseen more than a year of constantly falling real wages, Labour's analysis of Office for National Statistics figures showed.
The general secretary of the GMB union, Paul Kenny, said: "The government is directly responsible for this unprecedented fall in the real value of wages in the three years since the election.
"Employers paying low wages get taxpayer subsidies in the form of tax credits to assemble a workforce for them to make decent profit margins. The government has also made it easier for employers to abuse staff and made it more difficult for them to do anything about it."
A Treasury spokeswoman said: "The economy is on the mend, but we've still got a long way to go as we move from rescue to recovery and we appreciate that times are still tough for families.
"We are on the right track, the deficit is down by a third, over one and a quarter million new private sector jobs have been created, and interest rates are at near-record lows, benefitting families and businesses."

Pet Wellness embraces many areas of a wholesome blissful pet so in appreciation of Stress Awareness Month study how one can determine and eliminate pet stress to present him a longer, happier, more healthy life. Similarly, nearly all saltwater fish offered in stores are captured from their houses in the wild, and most freshwater fish are raised on farms beneath depressing circumstances. • Contact PETA about working on legislation to require that animals offered in stores be spayed or neutered.
• Encourage pet shops that promote animals not to take action. PETCO agreed not to sell massive birds (corresponding to cockatoos and macaws) after recognizing the inherent cruelty in confining these wild animals and subjecting them to inadequate care. Tuesday's vote was met with applause from native animal welfare organizations.
Revival Animal Well being has been caring for individuals who care for pets by delivering quality, dependable merchandise, together with customer service that is dedicated to your needs. Exotic animals aren't the one ones who experience excessive pain and even demise on their journey to pet shops.
All animals needs to be accompanied by health and behavioural guarantees including return with guarantee of suitable veterinary therapy and re-homing if in any respect potential. Every dollar spent buying an animal from a pet retailer encourages the shop to continue shopping for animals from cruel corporations like GCB.
If an animal is sick, chances are you'll notice other animals within the cage strolling over him or her. Earlier than they're torn away from their mommies, canine, cats , and different animals are compelled to reside in horrible situations at these mills. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors, below a proposal from District four Supervisor Katy Tang, unanimously voted to amend town's health code on Tuesday.


Discussion in 'Sorceress' started by sbn, Nov 13, 2006.
I just made a hybrid cold/fire sorc who is not at lvl 56. I have not put any skill points as of yet. Back when I last played in 1.09 this wasnt as big of a deal since there were no synergies. Basically in order to do runs on my own in Hell I need to have at least 2 different methods of dealing with immunes.
Now here is where I am somewhat lost. Which should I max out? Would 20 to Frozen orb and 20 to Firball with the rest skill points spread evenly to synergise be enough?
Couldnt something like Death Fathom make up for the lost skill points I would have added to synergise orb and fireball?
Start here, then come back with questions.
Well how about this, I think this might work good. At level 65, I can max out Frozen orb and Ice Bolt. Then max out Firewall.
So, since Firewall doesnt use synergy, would a lvl 31 Firewall be enough for hell?
Fire Wall (One of my favorite spells.) is viable in Hell. Just make sure you put points into it's mastery and with +skills it will do a lot of damage. Just remember if you cast it above or below the sorceress it will spawn east-west. If you cast it to the left or right of the sorceress it will spawn north-south.
I've never made a Meteorb before but from what I've read, it seems that people actually use fireball more than meteor. With 105% fcr, you can spam fireballs at enemies very quickly. If you synergize it properly, it will do major damage to monsters that aren't fire immune. Meteor seems more like a synergy for the build which you can cast once in a while. Also, no need to max out icebolt really. Just get CM to level 17 with +skills.
The way most people build and play a Meteorb Sorc makes it somewhat of a misnomer. Fire Ball tends to be the primary spell used, with Orb used as a second elemental damage and Meteor for special situations (bosses, slow-moving tightly-packed monsters, clipping around corners and through doorways, etc.).
Also, that Ice Bolt synergy is pretty much a waste of 20 skill points. If you want cold to be your primary spell you're generally better off going with Blizzard since you actually see a bit of a return on synergy investment.


Imagine a place where students work alongside scientists and millions of dollars are granted to schools to fund centers that will fill the jobs that are in high demand. That place is now a reality in Palm Beach County thanks to new programs launched by Palm Beach State College, Florida Atlantic University, Keiser University, and West Technical Education Center.
With the touch of a button, people across the nation can be connected with emergency personnel thanks to a Boca-Raton based company, MobileHelp. The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, in cooperation with City of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, assisted the expansion of MobileHelp, a mobile emergency response technology company in Boca Raton. The company will create 150 new jobs with average salaries of $53,298 to its existing workforce of 198.
The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County (BDB), in cooperation with the City of West Palm Beach, CareerSource Florida, and West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, is pleased to announce the expansion of Digital Resource, a full-service internet marketing agency in downtown West Palm Beach. Digital Resource will add 66 new jobs to its current workforce of 39 and will move into a new 9,000 sq. ft. office located at 218 Datura Street.


This past week I went to my son's Back to School Night and despite the tired, musty, out-of-date classrooms, I found his teachers to be quite the opposite! They were enthusiastic about their jobs; use current technology to teach students and repeatedly encouraged parents to stay in touch. In the end, their message was very clear -- teachers, students and parents must work together to ensure the student's educational success.
I noted that this "team" approach towards education not only works in the regular education setting, but in special education as well. While teachers and schools are becoming more skilled at collaborating to provide positive educational experiences for special needs children, parents also need to become actively involved in the education process. In particular, parents should participate in the decisions and classroom placements of their child. Together, the team can work towards finding an optimal learning environment for the student.
What is the Best Placement for My Child?
In the United States, there are a variety of settings in which Special Education can be delivered. In general, students with special needs can be placed in self-contained classes, they can be mainstreamed, or included in the regular education classroom. An inclusive placement is considered by special education experts to be the ideal situation for most children with special needs.
A "full inclusion" classroom is a setting where students with special needs are educated alongside students without special needs, while maintaining appropriate supports and services. Special education in inclusive classrooms is considered a service, not a place. Services are integrated into the daily routines and classroom structure. Curriculum and strategies are brought to the student, instead of relocating the student to another room in the school in order to receive service. Special needs students in an inclusive classroom are placed with their chronological age-mates, regardless of whether or not the students are working at the same level as each other.
As a full inclusion teacher for many years, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand how inclusive classrooms provide numerous social, emotional and intellectual benefits for children with special needs. In addition, studies have shown that there are also many benefits for regular education students. Not only are there increased learning opportunities but the inclusive classroom is also designed to meet the educational needs of ALL learners.
Social - All children in the class are fully active, participating members regardless of their ability level. There are increased social interactions and relationships between students, staff and families. A greater understanding of diversity develops, in addition to improved communication skills as students learn and respond to one another's differences. These repeated interactions promote inclusive behavior in future situations.
Emotional – Students and families begin to feel more integrated into the school community and a greater sense of belonging develops. The self-confidence and self-esteem of special needs students grows naturally from the positive support of peers and teachers.
Intellectual - All students have equal access to the curriculum despite academic ability. Accommodations and modifications are made to the curriculum to meet the student's needs. Students become more actively engaged in learning and become more confident learners as they experience greater success in school.
Is Your Child's School Inclusive?
Walk Around the School - Is student work displayed and celebrated? Are all children able to access the library, gymnasium, lunchroom and computer room? Where will your child go for support services if required?
Visit Classroom - Are desks, materials, books, and learning manipulatives arranged to facilitate cooperation, group learning and student movement around the class?
Look at Playground –What options are there for physically disabled children to use the playground? Is the playground easy to access?
Talk to Classroom Teacher – Find out where your child will sit, how your child will be included in class routines and activities, and how much support the child have from a papraprofessional.
Inclusive classrooms are places where all students can learn and thrive. The decision to place a special needs child in an inclusive class is best made between parents, teachers and the school. Parents can support this process by educating themselves on the social, emotional and intellectual benefits of inclusive education. However, parents should stay involved with their child's education throughout the school year (through communication with teacher, volunteer work, and/or attendance at school events) to help ensure that their child is continuing to receive the best education possible.

Retired General Bramwell H. Tillsley is Promoted to Glory
GENERAL Bramwell H. Tillsley (Retired), The Salvation Army's 14th international leader, was promoted to Glory on 2 November 2019 from his home at the Army's Meighen Retirement Residence in Toronto, Canada.
Bramwell was born in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, on 18 August 1931 to Salvationists Harold and Doris Tillsley, who had emigrated from England to Canada just a few years before. He accepted Christ at a young age and became actively involved at Kitchener Citadel, including as a junior soldier, corps cadet, bandsman and cornet soloist.
In 1953, Bramwell married his beloved Maude Pitcher, and together they entered the Toronto College for Officer Training in 1955 as cadets in the Sword Bearers Session. Upon their commissioning in 1956, they were appointed as corps officers (church ministers) in Windsor, Nova Scotia, followed by Oakville, Ontario. They served for the next six years at the training college in Toronto before their appointments as divisional youth officers in Saskatchewan and corps officers at North Toronto Citadel in 1966. In 1969, the Tillsleys returned to the training college in Toronto, where Bramwell took up the position of education officer. He went on to become training principal, first at the training college in St John's, Newfoundland, and then in the USA Eastern Territory.
In 1977, the Tillsleys returned to Newfoundland, with Bramwell appointed as the provincial commander. The position of divisional commander in the Metro Toronto Division followed, bringing the Tillsleys to home ground. Bramwell became principal of the international training college in London, United Kingdom, in 1981, chief secretary of the USA Southern Territory in 1985 and territorial commander in the Australia Southern Territory in 1989, taking the rank of commissioner. In 1991, Commissioner Tillsley was appointed as Chief of the Staff at International Headquarters in London, UK.
In 1993, he was elected as the 14th General and international leader of The Salvation Army, an office he held until May 1994. Together with his wife, Mrs General Maude Tillsley (World President of Women's Organisations), General Tillsley travelled the world, nurturing Salvationists in their faith and highlighting the work of The Salvation Army.
General Tillsley received a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy from the University of Western Ontario and furthered his studies at Wycliffe College in Toronto. He was a gifted writer and communicator who authored many books on biblical studies and holiness, including Life in the Spirit, This Mind in You and Manpower for the Master.
General Tillsley was predeceased by his wife, Mrs General Maude Tillsley, who was promoted to Glory in 2014.
Loving prayers are extended to the General's sister, Lieut-Colonel Audrey Wilder, and to his children and their families – the Revd Dr Barbara Robinson, Commissioner Mark Tillsley and John Tillsley.
The current international leader of The Salvation Army, General Brian Peddle, writes: 'As a Canadian officer, I have experienced the impact of General Tillsley's leadership for more than four decades. I have valued his writings and enjoyed his preaching and teaching, while noting his Christian character.

The dawn of the digital era has positively impacted India the most, out of all developing nations. By 2020, it is estimated that five billion people will be online, representing two-thirds the population of the planet. India is expected to be the biggest contributor to those numbers, for over a billion people in India still aren't connected to the Internet! A plethora of start-ups, web companies and digital marketers have emerged through this decade of metamorphosis from India to Digital India. The redundancy of methodology adopted by 85% of these web companies has rendered a hideous display of design, development and content on the Internet. Those antiquated methods are conspicuous in legions of projects fabricated by the conventional, insipid 'Infotech' companies in India. Experience is a major strand of their sales. They sure are experienced, yes, but not in what it takes to craft the modernistic. Consider this- The manufacturer of the first ever mobile phone that came with a long antenna might be the most experienced man in that niche, but that doesn't mean you will buy it now, does it?
An often overlooked yet considerable element that must invariably be taken into account is content. Content is to a website what an artist's palette is to a canvas. The last thing you want to do is hire someone linguistically challenged penning what your consumer may read! Especially in India, the number of agrammatic websites lounging about the Internet is frightening. Binary Caves has a separate team that overlooks the content of a project with painstaking precision, simplicity, clarity and elegance.
Have you ever opened a website on your phone to a miniscule desktop version and you had to zoom in to click on the buttons? The solution to that has long been found, even if it eludes some of our veterans. Responsive design basically means that the layout of the website will adjust itself to any device, be it a mobile or smart television, in order to provide optimal viewing by using fluid, proportion based grids, CSS3 media queries and flexible images. Binary Caves fabricates websites commensurate with the modern standards of responsive design, giving your viewers a great experience on all devices, be it phones, tablets or televisions.
Times have evolved since HTML was invented and you thought it was an achievement to know how to send an email. The elements of modern web design when incorporated thoughtfully render a spellbinding spectacle, accentuating the beauty of the Internet and improving the potential visitor's experience. Binary Caves makes full use of these – from parallax scrolling, j-query effects to large typographic elements. The image above provides a small look into their arsenal.
Although it is commonplace to relate graphic design with print media, it is an essential aspect of effective web design. Products don't sell, good images of products sell. Content is an intrinsic part of web design, but it can easily be brushed aside for a beautifully shot and edited photograph. Pictures induce emotion, which is worth its weight in gold. Binary Caves believes in effectively explaining the innovation you bring with tantalising pictures.
Fabricating a website doesn't really solidify your business online, marketing it does! Binary Caves treats every project they undertake as their own and build an entire online presence of your business. From submitting your sitemap to search engines, to integrating all professional social media handles into your website, Binary Caves does everything to construct an online marketing foundation.
This post is a testament to Binary Caves' unparalleled service, and we request you to share this on your social media accounts for it is a step forward in making India Digital. You are also entitled to a 30% discount (Valid before 31st April) should you choose Binary Caves as your online partner! This discount can be availed by scanning this QR code.

Teroristický útok v Ankaře se odehrál ve večerních hodinách dne 13. března 2016 v parku Güvenpark, poblíž náměstí Kızılay v širším centru turecké metropole. Bombový útok pomocí výbušniny schované v osobním automobilu, který zasáhl autobus, několik osobních aut a prostor náměstí, si vyžádal několik desítek obětí a další desítky zraněných.

Průběh útoku
Pro útok byla použita výbušnina schovaná v osobním autě. Auto po výbuchu nabouralo do autobusu MHD. Okamžitě po incidentu byly ulice v blízkosti náměstí i samotné náměstí evakuovány. K útoku došlo v rušné části města v blízkosti dopravních uzlů, několika významných budov (Ministerstvo školství, Kasační soud) a stejnojmenné stanice metra. Krátce po útoku nařídily turecké soudy zákaz přístupu na sociální sítě Facebook a Twitter ve snaze zabránit šíření fotografií z místa výbuchů. Vláda také zavedla úplné mediální embargo k dané záležitosti pro domácí novináře.

Přímo na místě útoku přišlo o život 30 osob. Do 15. března v nemocnicích zemřelo na následky poranění způsobených útokem dalších 7 lidí, k témuž dni bylo 70 osob hospitalizováno, z toho 15 jich zůstávalo v kritickém stavu.

Pachatelé
Za útokem stáli dva sebevražední atentátníci. Dle turecké vlády se jednalo o lidi napojené na Stranu kurdských pracujících (PKK), která je v Turecku, ale i ve Spojených státech a v Evropské unii, považována za teroristickou organizaci a oficiálně zakázána. První z dvojice pachatelů, sebevražedná atentátnice Seher Çagla Demirová, byla od roku 2013 členkou PKK a absolvovala také výcvik u kurdských milic YPG, které jsou Spojenými státy považovány za spojence v boji proti Islámskému státu. V souvislosti s útokem zadržela turecká policie celkem 11 osob. Strana kurdských pracujících ho odsoudila. Dne 17. března se k činu přihlásila teroristická organizace Svobodní kurdští sokoli (TAK), podle které měl být útok namířen na turecké bezpečnostní složky jako odveta za protikurdské operace tamní armády na jihovýchodě a východě Turecka. Tato skupina dlouhodobě bojuje proti turecké vládě a prezidentu Recepu Tayyipu Erdoganovi a na svědomí má již několik teroristických útoků, např. bombový útok v únoru 2016 v Ankaře, při kterém zemřelo téměř 30 osob. Jedná se o skupinu, kterou tvoří převážně bývalí radikální členové Strany kurdských pracujících, kteří se od ní odštěpili.

Reakce
Jako odvetu za útok turecká armáda dne 14. března zahájila nálety na horskou oblast Kandíl na severovýchodě Iráku, kde se podle turecké vlády nacházejí hlavní základny Strany kurdských pracujících. Během těchto útoků turecká armáda údajně zabila několik desítek členů PKK a také zlikvidovala několik skladů zbraní.

Německé ministerstvo zahraničí v reakci na útok uzavřelo svou ambasádu v Ankaře a konzulát a německé školy v Istanbulu.

Q: Selecting between cpuidle governors - Ubuntu 16.04 running 4.4.0-59 kernel I am trying to find out how to select between the cpuidle governors menu and ladder. Currently my system is configured with menu but I want to switch it to ladder.
So far I know that it should be possible through cpuidle sysfs (according to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt) but I don't know how to set the cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option, or what that really means.

How's your weekend been so far? Mine has been pretty low key actually. After running some errands this morning, I have spent the rest of the day indoors, due to Melbourne's chilly Winter weather. Of course, I have been wearing my cosy cashmere. I couldn't live without it!
Until next time, take care and stay stylish.


Here you find the lyrics of the song It happends, from Sugarland. Trying to make it easier, I have prepared a worksheet where students have to write some parts in the correct orders and, in others, they have to choose the correct word. Hope you like it!
This downloadable handout is a great resource for high school students and adults at Pre-intermediate (A2), Intermediate (B1), Upper-intermediate (B2), Advanced (C1) and Proficient (C2) level. It is a useful material for practising Adjectives and Adverbs in English, and was designed for developing your groups' Listening skills.

I'm a big calculator nerd. You can see what I've done here.
Hi, have you tried pressing the Reset button on the back of the calculator? Your RAM will be cleared but it should fix your issue. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest looking at the TI-84 Plus CE Calculator Recovery guide.
I don't know if you can even get a new print head anymore, that calculator is over 30 years old! You may be able to get by with cleaning it off though. There's some tutorials on YouTube, one video I found used 99.5% isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush: https://youtu.be/QWD5iwWl_MI?t=14m34s Hopefully your calculator prints the same way. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to take it apart nor how to get to the head. However, those old machines normally are reasonably easy to disassemble so you can probably figure it out. Sorry I couldn't help much, however if you run into any problems I'll still try to help! Just comment to this answer and please share some pictures if you can; pictures can really help diagnose what's wrong or what needs to be done.
If this only happened right after you cleared the history, then it's not the display, you just need to do a RAM reset. (Take out the backup battery and one of the AAA batteries. Hold down ON for 10 seconds, then put the backup battery back in lastly, put the AAA battery back in.) It may also help to reinstall the OS. Since that's a more complex procedure I'll refer you to this video that explains how to do it. If this has been happening over the course of days or weeks then it's definitely either display issue or a battery issue. You can try just replacing the batteries but it that doesn't work then Nick's answer will help you out.
Adding onto what TheYootx Media Group said, another possible issue is the contrast was turned down too far. You can easily fix this by (make sure the calculator is turned on) repeatedly pressing [2nd] then the up arrow until you can see the display again. If this doesn't work then it's either a battery issue or a display issue. If there's a display issue, then this article may help you repair it.
Hi, thanks for including all that information! I think TI-84 Plus CE Recovery Techniques. is what you're looking for. Please comment if you still can't get it working and I'll keep trying to help! P.S. The charging light is separate from the main calculator software so it can still charge even when the main calculator is frozen or broken.
Ok we may need a little more information to help you. So is your calculator boot looping? Is it turning on and off repeatedly? Or is is just turning off after you turn it on? Does it keep misbehaving while charging? How long after you turn it on does it take before it turns off again? How long after you turn it off does it take before it turns on again? Does taking the battery out an putting it back in help? Do you have something stuck in your I/O port? (the thing that looks like a mini headphone jack) Does reinstalling the OS help?
I don't believe it's a display problem, I'm fairly certain those lines are just from the calculator booting up. However you can test this by taking your calculator (during the time when it refuses to turn on) and plugging it into your computer (Note, you may need to install TI Connect CE). If you computer recognizes that something was connected, then you're right, it's most likely a display issue. If you computer doesn't recognize that something was connected, then it's a different problem. My guess is there's a loose connection somewhere under the battery compartment. You can follow this repair guide to take the calculator apart (though you don't need to take out the motherboard) and see if you can spot any loose or dirty connection points.
To elaborate on Austin's answer: Not only are they soldered, but even if you have the experience to desolder the RAM and replace it with compatible, better RAM; the calcuator's operating system couldn't even utilize it. TI designed the OS to rely on having only 256kb of RAM. The same goes for the Archive storage as well. You wouldn't get a CPU clock boost either. If you want to increase the speed of your TI 84 Plus CE, there are a few programs that can help. One such program is the Advanced Wait State Change[|r] I wrote that reduces the wait states of the calculator and can make it up to 30% faster.
I think you should add the phrase "JBL Spot" somewhere in this guide. Although I searched the web and iFixit, this guide didn't come up because I was searching for JBL spot rather than JBL spyro.
That moment your recognize your colleague's dog in the last photo.
P.S. You can buy spare mini USB ports from sites like Amazon or Ebay.
I don't believe you can buy the motherboard anywhere. However you can salvage them out of other damaged calculators.

Most of my career was spent in international business. I worked for Hobart Corporation (which became a subsidiary of Dart & Kraft, Premark Intl. and Illinois Tool Works successively) for 32 years. I was regional manager for Latin America, with responsibility for our distributor sales in the region. In 1986 I was transferred to San Juan, Puerto Rico as general manager of our sales and service office there. In 1992 I moved to Mexico City to restructure our subsidiary operation there to expand our existing business, develop and implement policies to manage the business more effectively and profitably and provide superior service to Mexican and international businesses (such as Walmart) as they established and expanded operations in the country using Hobart equipment. In 1999 I relocated to Miami as Vice President of Latin America with responsibility for those two subsidiaries as well as our business in São Paulo, Brazil, where we had a small manufacturing operation, Bogotá, Colombia and Guatemala City. My overall responsibility was in the range of $60 million in revenue with consistent profitability in the range of 20%. I had a staff of 8 direct reports responsible for about 250 employees. I believe that my strengths have been in team building, mentoring, simplification of operations, conservative business practices, long term vision and a strong ethical framework, even with the difficulties inherent in doing business in Latin America.
