"Choose not be harmed and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed and you haven't been." Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and Stoic Philosopher.
The stress response has evolved to help keep us alive in the face of life-threatening danger. It readies the body for flight-or-flight, before we can consciously process the threat. And it's extremely effective. We're still here 2 million years later, after all. When confronted by a grizzly bear (or a dog, or an erratic driver), our brain and sympathetic nervous system coordinate a stress response. Firstly, the adrenal glands pump out adrenalin (epinephrine) – the fight-or-flight hormone – preparing us for the enormous, imminent physical effort. Glucose and fat stores are released into the blood for energy. Breathing rate increases and oxygen uptake is boosted. The heart pumps harder and faster, and blood pressure rises. Nutrient and oxygen-rich blood is pumped preferentially to the brain and muscles, sharpening our senses and readying us for explosive movement. All of this happens before our eyes or ears are able to make sense of what's going on.
The initial surge of adrenalin subsides quickly. If the threat persists, the brain continues to perceive danger, and cortisol – the master stress hormone – is released by the adrenal glands, keeping the body on high alert. Blood sugar is increased further via the breakdown of muscle protein. Blood pressure is maintained by increasing fluid retention. The gut lining becomes more permeable, increasing nutrient absorption. Cortisol also preserves energy by shutting down the systems not required for immediate survival. The digestive system, reproductive system and growth are all suppressed. In preparation for trauma, cortisol stimulates inflammation throughout the body, increases production of immune cells and blood clotting factors and redirects them to exposed tissues (like the skin). This type of threat is typically short-lived. Death, victory or escape come quickly. The parasympathetic nervous system dampens the stress response, and hormone levels return to normal. You know the feeling. Your child runs into the road. A jolt ripples through your body. You react immediately. Unconsciously. The situation is resolved quickly. And your body calms down. We have evolved to deal with this type of acute stress very well. Any negative effects are temporary, and are an acceptable cost of survival.
But modern life brings with it another type of stress. Chronic stress. The cumulative effect of unrelenting, low-level stress. Deadlines. Traffic jams. Queues. Parenting. Arguments. Sales figures. Financial problems. You know what I'm talking about. The stuff that makes us angry, frustrated, worried, anxious, depressed. Individually, these things are not life-threatening. But they induce a mild to moderate stress response. And it's the aggregation of these that is so harmful. We don't get the jolt of fight-or-flight. We don't necessarily feel stressed. But cortisol is consistently elevated and our bodies simply haven't evolved to deal with it. It makes us irritable, aggressive, and argumentative. And we don't make good decisions. The health consequences are profound: High blood sugar; high blood pressure; muscle wasting; bone weakness; gut and digestive problems; depression and cognitive impairment; immune dysfunction and systemic inflammation; reproductive faults; disrupted sleep; and fat accumulation (particularly in the abdomen). Elevated cortisol also increases appetite and the desire for calorie-dense foods, compounding the weight gain. There is a risk factor here for just about every disease.
So, what can we do about it? Alcohol doesn't work. I know. I'm sorry. But it's true. Alcohol actually increases cortisol. It contributes to stress, rather than relieving it. Same with junk food and comfort eating. And caffeine. Exercise, social connection and laughter have all been shown to reduce cortisol. (Although it should be noted that exercising too much, without sufficient recovery, raises cortisol). They are all good mechanisms for reducing built-up stress. But wouldn't it be better to not get stressed in the first place? Or at least not as stressed. You can do this by changing your environment. Your job, for instance. But you won't escape pressure completely. Leaving banking reduced my stress load considerably. But doing a degree and beginning a new career brings its own obstacles. We all have plenty of opportunities to get stressed. The question is, do we have to take them?
• No event or situation is inherently stressful. It is our reaction that provokes the stress response. So, we can choose to be stressed. Or not.
• Get some perspective. Is missing that deadline, or being late for dinner, really that important? In the moment, it may seem like it is. But what's the worst that can happen? It never looks that bad after some analysis.
• Don't worry about what you can't control. There is nothing you can do about the grid-locked motorway. So, don't sweat it. Focus diligently on the things within your control and then submit to a higher power.
• Find the joy in everything. Believe it or not, there is good in every situation. Delayed train? An opportunity to finish your book. Business fails? A valuable lesson for next time. Redundancy? The kick you needed to change careers.
"Go get your mother and all her friends. They'll never see a fire like this again". Thomas Edison, while watching his entire company and life's work go up in flames.
• Meditation. It has become very popular lately. And for good reason – it's extremely effective. At anchoring us in the present. And helping us see thoughts and emotions for exactly what they are. Thoughts and emotions. Not actual harm.
• Gratitude. By taking the time to feel truly grateful for the things we have today (large and small), we can bring ourselves back to the present. And be happy about any situation.
• Breathing. It sounds too obvious, but breathing is very powerful. Psychologically and physiologically. Deep breathing and breath holding are both effective at bringing your mind into the moment.
• Cold exposure. Neither the past nor the future seem very relevant when you jump into an ice-cold shower on a December morning. It also makes you feel great.
• Exercise. Intense and endurance. Like with cold exposure, you can't think about anything other than the here and now when you're struggling to keep moving forward.
I should probably point out at this stage that I'm not exactly what you would call proficient at any of this. In fact, I'm pretty rubbish. And I've been practicing for more than two years. But even with the tiny fraction of mastery that I have almost attained, I feel significantly calmer, more focused, less reactive. My recent exams were a great opportunity for live-fire training. Instead of worrying about the time I had or the end result, I simply showed up every day and did the work. Instead of feeling depressed at having to revise again, I felt privileged at being able to sit in a beautiful, historic library studying a fascinating subject. Well, at least some of the time, anyway. It was hard. And often my emotions got the better of me. But it did work. These exams were less stressful than they have been in the past. I'll keep practicing.
The accumulation of low-level stress is dangerous. It's also difficult to recognise. Just a part of life, we think. Whether you feel stressed or not, it's important to put measures in place to reduce your overall stress load. Consider changing your environment. Train yourself to be present. See things for what they are. And don't worry about things outside of your control. Give more hugs, exercise and have a laugh. This stuff is actually quite enjoyable – certainly not a chore – and the benefits are huge.

Chen Hsin heard himself swallow audibly and even felt himself harden a little. Flustered, he pulled roughly at his hair and looked away. Despite his state of confusion, he caught Qin Xun-er's voice as she turned to speak to her assistant. "Who's that?" she asked.
"He's a pretty hot piece of meat…" Qin Xun-er's voice trailed off as she whispered something to her assistant and broke into a giggle. "Aren't we evil for thinking that?" At this, Chen Hsin snapped around to glare balefully at the two of them. With her head tilted towards her assistant, Qin Xun-er was spared from the rage in his eyes. But the younger woman was less fortunate. Under the terror of Chen Hsin's vengeful glower, she fell into a petrified silence.
Chen Hsin began walking towards Zhang Zhun instead. Even at this distance, separated by the milling crowd, he immediately saw the trail of bite marks he had left on that sweat-slicked neck. At the sight of those spots of red – irrefutable traces of the kisses he had once planted on that expanse of flesh – his head began to buzz and his chest began to ache a little from the pounding of his heart.
On the other side of the crowd, Zhang Zhun saw him too. How could he not? Chen Hsin's presence was so dazzling that he was always the irrefutable center of attention wherever he went. Despite the thick layer of powder on his left eye socket, traces of the livid bruise still showed through. Under the perplexed looks of those who did not know the story behind the injury, Zhang Zhun gazed back at Chen Hsin strangely and almost sadly, with eyes filled with an inexplicable emotion close to tender attachment.
Chen Hsin finally came up to him. "You went to the gym?" he asked clumsily, stating the obvious.
As Zhang Zhun received the piece of clothing with a furious blush, Chen Hsin could not help but swear at himself mentally: Now you've made things awkward for him! Dammit!
The crew began muttering incredulously: "Is he serious? He can't get into the mood even though she's so into it?" Qin Xun-er was mortified, but Chen Hsin could not care less about her feelings. He looked in Zhang Zhun's direction, but the other man was not paying attention at all. Perched on the armrest of the couch, Zhang Zhun was staring intently at his phone. He was probably busy exchanging texts with his girlfriend, Chen Hsin supposed.
Dinner took place at six in the evening, at a KTV lounge near the hotel, and the entire film crew was invited. It turned out to be a party to celebrate the beginning of the filming process, and not a private gathering between the three of them. Two rooms were booked – one for Chen Hsin and Qin Xun-er, the other for Zhang Zhun and Xie Danyi. The atmosphere brimmed with excitement as the boisterous crowd mingled in drunken revelry all around. Zhang Zhun did not hold his liquor well; he stopped after his second shot. Xie Danyi sat leaning against him. She waited for the crowd to take their merry-making to the next room before reaching up to touch the side of Zhang Zhun's neck. "He did this?" she asked.
Taken by surprise, Zhang Zhun paused for a moment before finally understanding her question. Blushing a little, he nodded in response. "I'm getting jealous now!" she declared, her tone playful but with an edge of petulance.
His words created an uproar as the crowd began hooting and whistling at the top of their voices at his bold statement. No one took his intoxicated words seriously, but all color drained from Zhang Zhun's face as he let go of Xie Danyi's hand.
At this, Chen Hsin staggered to his feet and pushed through the crowd to stumble towards the door. Zhang Zhun turned and left immediately. He strode down the long KTV corridor, his head hanging low as he felt the rush of alcohol overwhelm his mind. Chen Hsin was too much, he thought – He really was too much!
Someone was trying to catch up with him. Thinking it was Xie Danyi, he slowed down. But the very next moment, he felt the press of a broad chest against his back as Chen Hsin embraced him from behind and pushed him into the toilet ahead. Locking the door behind him, Chen Hsin shoved Zhang Zhun against the sink and forced Zhang Zhun to look at him. "Sorry…" he slurred drunkenly, gazing at Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun was stunned. He could not understand what was happening.
"Zhang Zhun! Zhang Zhun!" On the other side of the door, Xie Danyi began calling out to Zhang Zhun. She saw Chen Hsin shove Zhang Zhun into the toilet but did not expect him to lock the door. Baffled and unsettled, she pushed and knocked on the door until it suddenly opened from inside. Pushing her aside, Chen Hsin dashed out of the toilet and fled back the way he came. She rushed into the toilet and saw Zhang Zhun standing quietly by the sink with tousled hair.
"Were you… fighting?" she asked, her voice full of apprehension.


Insurers are not bound to offer renewal terms at the expiry of an insurance contract. But should the intermediary expect the client to be conscious of his own renewal date and to issue further instructions to the intermediary as the renewal date approaches?
Or, is it the duty of the intermediary to concern himself with renewal dates and be open to criticism if his client's attention is not drawn to the renewal date in time to incept cover?
Normally this issue is taken care of by the intermediary because he has no wish to lose the client. He keeps a record of renewal dates as a way of maximising his income. If the intermediary fails to do so, and for some reason or other fails to consider the matter, does he then run into difficulty?
In a recent case, an intermediary placed a household policy for a private client. Renewal instructions were sent to the client but the premium was paid late. At about the same time as the premium was received, the intermediary, without telling the client, asked the insurer to go off-risk for non-payment of premium.
Had a claim arisen during the time when the policy was not taken up, the intermediary could have argued that unfortunately the client's instructions had been wrongly interpreted and the cover was in effect and the premium paid.
Since the intermediary is the agent of the insurer for the collection of the premium, it would have been difficult for the insurer to have argued the policy had been cancelled for non-payment by the client.
However, because the insurer did not realise the risk should have been placed, no subsequent renewal notice was sent out. Furthermore, the intermediary, believing that the cover had not been taken up, sent no communication to the client when the renewal date came around. The client was blissfully unaware of all these matters and did not check his renewal date. A month after the policy was cancelled he suffered a substantial theft. The client then discovered the policy he thought had been placed was not and, even if it had been, it would by now have expired.
"We will tell you when you need to renew your policy or when it will end in time to allow you to consider and arrange any continuing cover you may need. We will explain the renewal terms (if offered)" etc.
if exercising rights of cancellation for non-payment of premium, then the client should be informed of that fact, preferably beforehand, to ensure that no mistake is being made.

Niederreiter for Rask Trade Revisited
January 17, 2020 by Matt Cosman
One year has passed since the Carolina Hurricanes acquired Nino Niederreiter from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Victor Rask. One-for-one swaps are rare in today's NHL, but it was one month prior to the trade deadline and both players were in need of a change of scenery.
#mnwild trade Nino Niederreiter (2nd yr of 5-yr deal at $5.25M per) to #nhlcanes for R-shot C Victor Rask (3rd year of 6-yr deal at 4M per)
Nino has 110 goals, 228 points in 434 games. Two tough years in a row
Rask has 63 goals, 163 points in 339 games. Two tough years in a row
— Michael Russo (@RussoHockey) January 17, 2019
Niederreiter and Rask were both having down years offensively, but the trade accomplished different things for each club. The Wild are looking to get younger and shed salary, while the Hurricanes were seeking their first playoff berth in a decade and needed an extra oomph of offense.
The consensus at the time labeled the Hurricanes as the clear winner, as Niederreiter had more offensive potential and was the overall better player. But Rask has a $4-million cap hit compared to Niederreiter's $5.25-million, and was also a natural center. So now that we're at the anniversary mark of the trade, did the Hurricanes or Wild benefit more from the transaction?
Hot Start for Niederreiter
Searching for goal scoring, the Hurricanes took a stab at the Swiss winger, a former fifth-overall pick in 2010 by the Wild. Niederreiter enjoyed three straight seasons of 20-plus goals in Minnesota prior to the 2017-18 season, which was riddled by injuries. It was the first season since signing his five-year, $26.25-million contract, which he inked after scoring a career-high 57 points in 2016-17.

Finally healthy to start 2018-19, Niederreiter got off to a disappointing start with the Wild and was never able to find his groove. It took 15 games for Niederreiter to score his first goal of the season, even when Minnesota went 9-4-2 in that span. In total, he scored nine goals in 46 games before he was dealt to the Hurricanes on Jan. 17, 2019.
Joining a fresh new team that desperately needed his scoring talents, Niederreiter was rejuvenated. In the final 36 games of the season, he tallied 14 goals and 30 points playing alongside Sebastian Aho and Justin Williams. That top line's emergence was a blessing for Aho in particular, whose previous linemates, Michael Ferland and Brock McGinn, didn't have the finishing touch Niederreiter provided.

Boosted by Niederreiter's arrival, the Hurricanes scorched to a 24-10-2 run to finish the season in an Eastern Conference wild-card spot. They even shocked the league by winning their first two playoff rounds. But the newcomer who had been red hot since pulling on the Hurricane crest went silent – in 15 playoff games, Niederreiter registered just one goal and three assists.
Grass Wasn't Greener for Rask
Rask's journey to Minnesota after five seasons and change in Carolina wasn't as smooth of a transition. In fact, since joining the Wild, Rask has yet to show any of the offensive capabilities he displayed in previous years with the Hurricanes.
Coming off the heels of a 48-point season in 2015-16, then-general manager Ron Francis signed Rask to a six-year, $24-million contract. Similarly to Niederreiter, Rask faltered after landing a multi-year contract following a career-high season. In September of 2018, he suffered injuries to his fingers and never seemed to regain his scoring touch, eventually leading to his departure from the Hurricanes.
Former Hurricane Victor Rask (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Rask was a fourth-line center towards the end of his tenure with the Hurricanes, and it's a similar role he's played in his 365 days with the Wild. While Niederreiter immediately thrived in Carolina, Rask's struggles worsened with his new team. In 56 career games with the Wild, Rask has scored just six goals and seven assists. He's playing just 10:12 per game this season, the lowest of his career.
Making Sense of the Trade
The Hurricanes were pushing for a playoff spot, and with the acquisition of Niederreiter, they accomplished that goal. But for the Wild, then-general manager Paul Fenton's philosophy was different. The Wild were chasing the playoffs in the midst of a semi-rebuild, while sporting some of the league's ugliest contracts – those for Zach Parise and Ryan Suter among them. Perhaps worrying Niederreiter's regression could add to their future financial disarray, the Wild preemptively traded him.
Acquiring Rask saves Minnesota $1.25-million per year, but that doesn't mean it's a good contract, and it doesn't mean it was a good deal. Fourth-line centers demand salaries in the ballpark of $1-2 million, and the 26-year-old Rask makes twice that amount.
Victor Rask, Minnesota Wild (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers)
His youth and ability to play down the middle were possible draws to Fenton, with the Wild's top centers Eric Staal and Mikko Koivu now in the 35-and-over category. Unfortunately, Rask hasn't done enough to prove he's capable of middle-six minutes, and that's indicated by his ice time. He is defensively sound, and can slot up and down the lineup, but it's still an overpayment the Wild will be stuck with for the next three seasons.
Niederreiter Falling Off in Carolina
Back in Carolina, the trade paid immediate dividends for the Hurricanes, but they haven't gotten the production they had hoped for with Niederreiter this season. The cold streak from last season's playoffs has carried over to 2019-20, and while he's not necessarily lagging behind his teammates, Niederreiter's lack of scoring and poor discipline have weighed down his value. With six goals, 15 assists and 80 shots in 47 games, he's on pace for some of the lowest totals of his career, excluding his rookie campaign. He has also taken 16 minor penalties this season on one of the league's most penalized teams.
Nino Niederreiter, Carolina Hurricanes (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Now with Williams re-entering the picture and only 12 spots available for 13 forwards, the 27-year-old Niederreiter could find himself without a chair once the music stops. He was demoted to the Hurricanes' fourth line in Thursday's 3-2 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets, indicating head coach Rod Brind'Amour has been pondering Niederreiter's ineffectiveness as well.
The Hurricanes have the luxury of multiple players on team-friendly contracts, which – for now – allows room for Niederreiter's oversized cap hit. That's a stark contrast to the situation the Wild will be dealing with the next few years, which is perhaps what prompted Fenton to make the move at the time. Then again, it was also one of the decisions that ultimately led to his firing after just one year as GM.
While both players have undoubtedly underachieved, the scales still tip in the Hurricanes' favor. If Niederreiter can find his game, get hungry, and snap out of the hex that has his shooting percentage lagging at 7.8 percent, he has the ability to regain his status as a 20-goal scorer in the Hurricanes' top-six until his contract expires in 2023.

The TMS Leadership program is an year long elective course which gives students the opportunity to learn to lead themselves and others. Students learn trust, they build confidence, face challenges individually and as a group and help to develop a positive culture on the TMS campus.
The 35 7th and 8th grade students in this class serve as mentors for incoming 6th graders, oversee the intramural program, represent their peers with faculty members, help to establish and enforce school rules, represent the school in the community and develop character and spirit on campus.
In this class, you feel a sense of security as soon as you walk in the door. You practically gain another family in the Leadership class.
The TMS Leadership class TEACHES leadership skills, calls on students to step out of their comfort zones, and challenges them to do more (and do it better). Our daughter has learned to be confident speaking with her peers, with adults, and to large groups (a skill we all wish we had). She has made life-long friends with other students through mentoring incoming 6th graders and working with her fellow leadership students.
I look back on my 3 children's journey through the jungle that is middle school and I feel thankful that all 3 were able to experience the Leadership class under the guidance of Mr Mac (one of my kids had the privilege of taking the class twice). The emphasis of the class can be summed up as the nurturing of your children to become leaders throughout their life. This foundation is fostered through several different intentional strategies that Mr Mac sets up for your children. During the course, the kids are put into situations where they work as a team in order to work through problems in order to succeed. These situations are through games with a specific task and obstacles that the class must over come in order to reach their goal. There isn't a "right" way just a series of trials and errors that the students must work through together. The students also have the opportunity to meet and talk with numerous different leaders in the community that Mr Mac brings into the class. These people articulate qualities, some unique, but often similar that have made them leaders in life. At the end of the course each student has a short presentation in front one of these leaders expressing what they took from the class. In addition to hearing from leaders in our community each student is required to read a book by a leader in some field and present to the class what they learned from the novel. A highlight in all the years our children were involved in the class was the week of affirmations. The students choose several other students to affirm. They pick out qualities that they admire about that person and either verbally or in written form express those affirmations to that other student. It's a powerful experience to see 12 and 13 yr olds pour out their emotions in an unguarded way. There are other practical parts of the class for instance I'll never forget when my son shook my hand with a firm squeeze. When asked where he learned that of course it was "Leadership". I witnessed my children begin to greet adults with confidence greeting and constant eye contact. Again, this was a byproduct of what they were taking from Leadership. These skills are ones that they rely on even today.

NITI Aayog releases study report on 'Carbon Capture,
New Delhi : Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) Policy Framework and its Deployment Mechanism in India'
CCUS is key to ensuring sustainable development and growth in India, particularly for the production of clean products and energy, leading to an Atmanirbhar Bharat
A study report, titled 'Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage Policy Framework and its Deployment Mechanism in India', was released today. The report explores the importance of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage as an emission reduction strategy to achieve deep decarbonization from the hard-to-abate sectors. The report outlines broad level policy interventions needed across various sectors for its application.
As, India has updated its NDC targets for achieving 50% of its total installed capacity from non-fossil-based energy sources, 45% reduction in emission intensity by 2030 and taking steps towards achieving Net Zero by 2070, the role of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) becomes important as reduction strategy to achieve decarbonization from the hard-to abate sectors.
"CCUS can enable the production of clean products while still utilizing our rich endowments of coal, reducing imports and thus leading to an Atmanirbhar Indian economy." said Suman Bery, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog. Implementation of CCUS technology certainly be an important step to decarbonise the hard-to-abate sector.
CCUS projects will also lead to a significant employment generation. It estimates that about 750 mtpa of carbon capture by 2050 can create employment opportunities of about 8-10 million on full time equivalent (FTE) basis in a phased manner.
"India's dependency on the fossil-based Energy Resources is likely to continue in future, hence CCUS policy in Indian Context is needed" said Dr. V.K Saraswat, Member, NITI Aayog.
The report indicates that CCUS can provide a wide variety of opportunities to convert the captured CO2 to different value-added products like green urea, food and beverage form application, building materials (concrete and aggregates), chemicals (methanol and ethanol), polymers (including bio-plastics) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with wide market opportunities in India, thus contributing substantially to a circular economy.

Sanders narrows gap with Clinton in CNN poll
Emilie Teresa Stigliani
Bernie Sanders is closing the gap with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday.
The poll conducted Aug. 13-16 has Sanders within 18 percentage points of the former secretary of state in a race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. This is the narrowest margin of any poll to date.
An overall look at Sanders' gains with likely Democratic primary voters have also outpaced Howard Dean's polling performance in the 2004 race.
Until Sanders kicked off his campaign, Dean, a former Vermont governor, was the state's most recent politician to make a serious bid for the U.S. presidency.
After a weak showing Jan. 19, 2004, at the Iowa caucus, Dean floundered in subsequent primaries and eventually lost the nomination to Secretary of State John Kerry.
Though Sanders launched his campaign a month earlier in the primary season than Dean's kickoff 12 years ago, support for the independent Vermont senator has risen faster than it did for Dean.
Sanders' latest polling numbers rival Dean's peak support in December 2003. Sanders garnered 30 percent of the vote among likely Democratic primary-goers in a Fox News poll conducted Aug. 11-13.

The graphic will be updated as polls are released.

A PERCEIVED lack of role models has been one of the enduring challenges of the black community in the UK and along with it the disregard for black talent and excellence.
So the Black British Business Awards (BBB Awards), which will be held on October 2 recognises achievements of UK African and Caribbean people who have excelled in business, is considered, by many, long overdue.
The idea, she told The Voice, was born at an awards programme for women by global networking organisation Every Woman.
The collaboration between the two ladies alongside Sophie Chandauka and Karen Gill has now produced a historic event that has caught the attention of commercial giants like Google, ASDA and Ernst and Young; and also had the Prime Minister sit up and pay attention.
She adds: "These awards are about the economic empowerment of our people. We need to understand and believe that we are great contributors to the global economy. We have a knack for creating something out of nothing and we have done it time and time again.
Eusebe added: "There was a reluctance to acknowledge specific challenges that black people face. People wanted us to get lumped into the general diversity agenda, rather than looking at the specific issues in the community.
Eusebe is hoping to inject others with the self-belief and healthy hunger for success that she developed in her formative years.
The 37-year-old Briton who grew up in Canada with her Dominican and Trinidadian parents said her early education and environment instilled a determination to succeed.
She adds: "My mother was a psychiatric nurse and worked two jobs and I promised myself I will never work as hard as she did. I am not saying that hard work is bad, but in terms of the number of hours that she had to physically put in, I did not want to be in that position.
"I am firm believer in standing on the shoulders. My mother told me that I should stand on her shoulders and reach higher than she did. That means the person that comes after me is standing on my shoulders, so we get higher every generation.


Over the eight years that Brian Hopkins has lived in his East Oakland apartment, he's seen many of his neighbors wind up on the streets.
Kaiser Permanente noticed the bulging homeless population in its hometown, too. It also knows the toll it takes on people's health, with a recent study in a major medical journal finding that the average life expectancy of people without housing falls by 27 years. At last count two years ago, Oakland's homeless population hit 2,761 people, up 25 percent from 2015.


(From the Sept 17th episode of the Daily Show).
And, the kicker: expresses the sense of congress that the Renewable Fuel Standard should ensure that every region can be a producer of cellulosic biofuels from a vast array of feedstocks.
The bill passed 239-189, picking up just fifteen Republican votes while losing thirteen Democrats. However, the likelihood of this bill turning into law is slim, as it has to make it through the senate, which, with the threat of a Republican filibuster, looks almost impossible. The chances of a bill that shifts oil subsidies passing the senate without a filibuster-proof Democratic super-majority (ie 60 Democrats) is, by my rough estimate, a billion to one.
This is not to say that the passage of this bill was not a success in the eyes of House Democrats. After being hammered all summer over refusing to pass expanded drilling provisions of provide relief at the pump, the Democratic caucus in Congress can now say, with honesty, that they voted for an "all of the above" energy solution package, and that the Republicans were the party standing in the way on drilling.
This is actually a remarkable tactical victory for Democrats, who beat the Republicans at their own game. But it is just that: a tactical victory in a political battle in which the Republicans set all the conditions. Democrats have been in control of the House for two years, but they are still struggling for tactical victories and playing Republican games. If Democrats want to not only be the party in power but a powerful party, they need to shift the Congressional political landscape with not tactical, but strategic victories.
The Dems need to proactively choose the battles that they will fight with Republicans instead of constantly reacting to Republican power plays. They need to win a battle that they start, a battle that they choose--a battle in which they represent the will of the electorate. It is these sorts of political victories that will have Democrats building political capital instead of preserving it, setting and owning the agenda instead of reacting to it.
The best place for Democrats to take ownership of the political process is energy. Providing a real vision for new energy to power America will put the Democrats on the offensive, creating a narrative of proactive Democratic solutions to problems of economy and national security. The best way for the Democrats to establish credibility as leaders of the country and stewards of our economy would be a bold push for new American energy. And until the Democrats are setting the terms, they will continue to play catch-up with Republicans and to scramble for a tactical victory.
The Republicans have been pounding the Democrats on energy policy so far this summer, effectively adopting an "all of the above" approach (at least in terms of their messaging) to solving our energy price woes. The Democrats' responses, on the other hand, have failed to frame the debate on their terms, instead offering scattered solutions and saying "no!" to the Republicans' plans.
The Democrats will test the Republicans with an "All of the Above" strategy that will embrace offshore drilling as it calls for a renewable energy mandate, energy-efficiency measures for buildings, and oil industry tax provisions.
As the Republicans chew on that, I also have to wonder if the Democrats are really paying attention, once again, to what truly matters when it comes to energy policy in 2008.
The Democrats say their bill is a work in progress and offered few specifics besides the information above and their certainty that they will pigeonhole the Republicans with an offshore drilling provision.
House Natural Resources Chairman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) continued that the inclusion of an offshore drilling provision proves that the Democrats are prepared to respond to the needs of some in their caucus and the concerns of the American people.
It is September. The crucial Production Tax Credits (PTC) and Investment Tax Credits (ITC) for the emerging renewable industries will expire at the end of 2008 if they are not renewed by Congress. If they expire, so will an estimated 116,000 jobs and billions of dollars lost in clean energy profits for homegrown American energy – all at a time when our economy is struggling to pick itself up amidst a slowdown. These tax breaks are absolutely critical to the continued growth of America's alternative energy industries and their extension will only be good news for our economy.
Promoting a renewable energy mandate, a political nonstarter, when the PTC/ITC extensions are at stake intimates that the Democrats' priorities are not set straight. The Democrats should drop the mandate and focus on what matters between now and 2009.
The Democrats have a ripe opportunity to get this right – they can win on message, and on policy – if they adopt policies that reflect what Americans' true concerns are: our economy and energy security. The Democrats, too, need to walk the walk when it comes to an "All of the Above" strategy and include what matters above all else for energy policy in 2008.
Thought the Republican's nomination of "Maverick" John McCain meant we'd finally see a showdown between two "green" candidates this November? Think again, say New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. College students in particular should pay attention, Friedman writes.
"With his choice of Sarah Palin — the Alaska governor who has advocated drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and does not believe mankind is playing any role in climate change — for vice president," Friedman writes in his latest column, "John McCain has completed his makeover from the greenest Republican to run for president to just another representative of big oil.
Addressing college students in particular, Friedman goes on to plead, "please, students, when McCain comes to your campus and flashes a few posters of wind turbines and solar panels, ask him why he has been AWOL when it came to Congress supporting these new technologies."
I don't think we'll have a problem with that!
"One of McCain's last independent policies putting him at odds with Bush was his opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge," added Pope, "yet he has now picked a running mate who has opposed holding big oil accountable and been dismissive of alternative energy while focusing her work on more oil drilling in a wildlife refuge and off of our coasts. While the northern edge of her state literally falls into the rising Arctic Ocean, Sarah Palin says, 'The jury is still out on global warming.' She's the one hanging the jury — and John McCain is going to let her."
"So, college students, don't let anyone tell you that on the issue of green, this election is not important. It is vitally important, and the alternatives could not be more black and white."
Again. Not a problem. With a million young voters joining in Power Vote by November 4th, we'll send a clear message to elected officials that the Millennial Generation understands just how important this election is and just how much we need a clean, just and prosperous energy future.

Home » D.C. Circuit Upholds FERC's Decision Regarding the Timing of the Application of an Effective Rate
D.C. Circuit Upholds FERC's Decision Regarding the Timing of the Application of an Effective Rate
By Meghan Mandel & Jasmine Hites on June 18, 2018
Posted in Generation, Market Policy, Transmission
On June 8, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("D.C. Circuit") upheld FERC's re-examination of an order regarding the effective rate for network upgrades in an Interconnection Agreement ("IA") with the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM"). A power developer, West Deptford Energy, LLC ("West Deptford"), requested interconnection with PJM. After the negotiations for the IA commenced, PJM's effective rate changed, triggering a dispute between the parties as to the appropriate effective rate for the IA: the rate in effect at the start of negotiations or the rate in effect at the time the IA was completed. The D.C. Circuit agreed with FERC's finding that the governing rate is the rate in effect at the time the IA was completed.
In 2006, West Deptford requested interconnection with PJM. At that time, PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff ("Tariff") enabled PJM to seek reimbursement for a previously constructed network upgrade from a new applicant for interconnection, if the proposed project met certain criteria. While West Deptford's request was still pending, in August 2008, FERC accepted changes to PJM's Tariff, limiting the period in which PJM could seek reimbursement for previously constructed network upgrades to a period of five years from the execution date of the IA for the project that initially necessitated the upgrade. In 2011, PJM provided West Deptford with an IA that required West Deptford to pay the full cost of the upgrade, pursuant to the terms of the Tariff in effective at the time that the IA was first requested. West Deptford protested FERC's decision and argued that application of old Tariff terms violated both the filed rate doctrine and FERC's prior precedent which enforced use of the Tariff terms at the time of IA execution or filing.
In 2011, FERC issued an order rejecting West Deptford's protest and found that the old Tariff terms governed since they were in effect in 2006 when West Deptford submitted its interconnection request. West Deptford filed for rehearing and FERC denied the rehearing request. On appeal, the D.C. Circuit vacated FERC's order upon finding that FERC did not provide a reasoned explanation for its departure from prior precedent. On remand, FERC reversed its prior position and concluded that currently effective Tariff provisions would determine West Deptford's responsibility to pay for the network upgrade. FERC stated that: (1) it was not sufficiently clear that West Deptford had sufficient notice that older terms would govern its IA, and (2) the new terms were "plainly prospective." Several generators appealed FERC's decision to the D.C. Circuit and argued that FERC's decision was arbitrary and capricious because the Commission failed to justify why it concluded that West Deptford's payments should be calculated under PJM's revised cost allocation rule.
On review for the second time, the D.C. Circuit upheld FERC's determination. The D.C. Circuit agreed with FERC's assessment and upheld FERC's determination that date the IA is executed is the proper date for determining cost responsibility in an IA. The D.C. Circuit found FERC reasonably supported its determination.
A copy of the D.C. Circuit opinion is available here.

'A mystery vandal has been getting with damaging our cars for TWO years'
"We really need a car here, it is three miles to the nearest village"

A resident has said he and his neighbours have been targeted in a two year campaign of car vandalism.
Philip Knaggs, 71, a retired teacher from Bradford, said he and three other households who live side-by-side on Hawthorne Close, Glentworth, near Gainsborough, have had their cars 'keyed' and vandalised well over 20 times when they are parked on the street overnight.
In the latest incident, on Saturday night, May 18, his neighbour's car was keyed down both sides.
The grandad-of-one said: "I want to stop this now, it's been happening over around two years.
(Image: Philip Knaggs)
"Initially it was next to nothing maybe the windscreen wipers were pulled up or the tyres were let down."
He said it was not expensive to start off with, but costs are mounting up.

Philip added: "The latest damage was done to my next door neighbour, I've suffered on previous occasions where my car has been keyed.
"We really need a car here, it is three miles to the nearest village - it is so frustrating but I can't see a resolution to the problem.
"It's a group of four terraces where we live but there is only room for one car on the drive.
"We are not causing an obstruction, it's part of the terms of living there by the housing association that we can't cause an obstruction on the road.

"My car has been targeted seriously four or five times, on the last occasion they knocked the wing mirror off late one night.
"We are just scratching our head as to who it could be, someone who would be going out at that time, maybe someone going to work.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: "We are investigating criminal damage caused to a car in Hawthorne Close sometime overnight on May 18, into May 19.

The Georgian Papers Programme at the Annual Conference of the British Society for Eighteenth Century Studies
Launched by The Queen in April 2015, the Georgian Papers Programme aims to catalogue and digitise 350,000 pages of material relating to King George III.
At the 47th Annual Conference of the British Society for Eighteenth Century Studies, hosted at St Hugh's College at Oxford University, researchers from the Royal Archives shared the success, impact and influence of the programme so far, which will be completed by 2020.
The panel gave an overview of how the Georgian Papers Programme offers great opportunities for eighteenth century scholars, as the papers are far more extensive than the published editions of George III's and George IV's papers. They cover a wider period from 1714 through to 1837. Learn more about why the programme is so important HERE.
The Papers also include personal as well as political correspondence, philosophical treatises and financial accounts, courtiers' and politicians' papers, purchase records for high art as well as items of quotidian material culture. They touch upon continental European affairs and colonial developments, as well as Britain itself.
Previously, access to documents was difficult as they are kept in the Royal Archives, housed in the iconic Round Tower at Windsor Castle. Thanks to the Programme the papers are being digitised and accessed from anywhere in the world – find them HERE.
In this endeavour, the Royal Archives is working in partnership with King's College London as well as primary United States partners the Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture and William & Mary College in the USA.
Professor Arthur Burns, who is the Academic Director of the Georgian Papers Programme, from King's College London, talked about how these partnerships are working and how the opportunities they have provided for students, post-graduates and post-doctoral researchers. You can read more about the academic partnerships and Professor Burn's work HERE.
Two fellows of The Georgian Papers Programme gave short talks on how access to their papers is transforming scholarship and the understanding of the Georgians.
Professor Suzanne Schwarz from the University of Worcester is exploring the links between Royal Archive and the sources held at the Sierra Leone National Archives in Freetown. Professor Schwarz described how being able to access the documents has provided 'tremendous opportunities' for her research.
The panel finished with Dr Andrew Beaumont, from Hertford College, Oxford, explaining how being to access the Georgian Papers is transforming his research. Small details such as George III's handwriting and placing timestamps on his letters, is changing the way that historians think about George, and even the development of his mental illness. None of this would have been possible without the Georgian Papers Programme.

Copenhagen Must-See: The Little Mermaid
There's a very unique place in Copenhagen, in this city lives a Little Mermaid who sits on a rock by the waterside along the Langelinie promenade. Every day she swims to the surface from the bottom of the sea in the hope to see her beloved one.
This magnificent 100-year-old sculpture of bronze and granite created by Edvard Eriksen was inspired by the fairy-tale written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about a little mermaid who fell in love with a handsome prince.
The 385-pound statue was a gift to the city from Carl Jacobsen, a Danish brewer who was captivated by the character after watching a ballet performance based on the fairy tale at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen.
It is believed that the head of the statue was modeled after Ellen Price, a Danish ballerina who played the principal role of the Little Mermaid in the ballet performance mentioned. However, since she was not willing to pose in the nude, the sculptor's wife, Eline Eriksen, modeled for the sculpture.
Today, the Little Mermaid is an icon of the city and a major tourist attraction with a growing number of people coming to catch a glimpse of her still waiting ashore for her prince.
