County surpasses 400 virus deaths

Carrollton linebacker Cody Leonard has been one of the best linebackers in the area since his varsity career began.
Leonard has consistently been at or near the top of the area leaders in tackles. He has been an all-conference selection in the WIVC numerous times and is an all-stater at his position.
Leonard added another item to his resume in Friday's state title game against Forreston, breaking a state final record with 22 tackles in the game.
The achievement was little consolation after the Hawks fell to the Cardinals 20-15, though.
"No, I'm not satisfied," Leonard said. "I would've been satisfied if we'd got the win, but we didn't."
Leonard made plays all over the field Friday. One of the best was when he leaped through the line and met a Forreston ballcarrier in mid-air, stopping him for a loss.
Leonard said the play provided a bit of a jolt.
"It got my adrenaline pumping a little bit, but it would have been better if we'd got the win," he said.
Leonard and the rest of Carrollton's defense held Forreston to its lowest point total of the season.
Trailing 20-15 in the fourth quarter and desperate to keep Forreston out of the end zone, the Hawks' defense was looking for a break.
The Cardinals were just two yards from scoring the touchdown that likely would have sealed their victory. A Forreston ballcarrier ran up the middle and got lost in the bodies. All of a sudden, the ball came out, and Carrollton's Jerrett Smith picked it up and brought it out to the 6-yard line, giving the Hawks another opportunity to take control of the game.
Carrollton linebacker Marcus Lippert said he could hardly tell what had happened, but he knew it was a huge break.
"I had no clue what was going on," Lippert said. "I actually asked (Forreston's) quarterback what happened on that play because I tackled the fullback — I thought he had it. He said, 'They hit it out of my hands.' Then I saw Jerrett pick it up and run with it, found out that way."
"We thought, Here we go. Here's our opportunity," Carrollton coach Nick Flowers said. "We got a stop that we needed, the defense did its job. We thought, at this point now, we've got to do what we've been doing all year long, and put together a drive and win this ballgame."
Forreston's defense stepped up, however, and intercepted the Hawks on the ensuing drive.
Carrollton has an offense that can score in many different ways, so many teams do all they can to keep the Hawks' offense off the field.
That was Forreston's approach coming into the game, and they executed to perfection, especially in the second half.
The Cardinals opened up the fourth quarter with a scoring drive that ate nearly eight minutes off the clock. That limited Carrollton to just one possession in the third quarter. All told, Forreston won the time of possession in the second half with just over 18 minutes, compared to just under six minutes for Carrollton.
It's hard to get things going your way when you don't have the ball.
"We said that state championship games come down to momentum, so many times," Flowers said. "They won that momentum battle several times. It did go back and forth. I felt like there were times in this game where we had the momentum, and it came down to right there at the end."

Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau (n. 13 iunie 1912 - d. 24 octombrie 1943) a fost un poet canadian de limbă franceză.A fost nepotul istoricului François-Xavier Garneau.

Biografie
Nascut la Montréal, în 13 iunie 1912, într-o familie înstărită, Garneau creste într-un mediu cultivat – este strănepot al istoricului și poetului canadian François-Xavier Garneau (1809- 1866). Poetul își petrece o parte din  anii copilăriei la vila familiei sale din Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, în compania verișoarei sale, Anne Hébert, devenita ulterior o voce importantă a literaturii francofone.
În 1923, Garneau se stabilește, împreună cu părinții săi la Montréal. În același an începe să studieze  la Colegiile Sainte-Marie,  Loyola și apoi la Jean-de-Brébeuf. În paralel urmează cursuri de pictura la Colegiul de arte frumoase, însa probleme de sănătate îl obligă să întrerupă studiile în 1934.

La vârsta de 16 ani contacteazaă o febra reumatismala care îi cauzează complicații cardiace. Câțiva ani mai târziu, medicii îi descoperă o leziune la inimă. Percepția sa asupra lumii se schimba radical în momentul în care devine conștient de fragilitatea propriei existente. Constrâns să întrerupă definitiv studiile în filozofie, tânărul Garneau cade prada depresiei.

În 1934, fondează revista « La Rélève » împreună cu Robert Charbonneau, Robert Élie și Paul Beaulieu. Publică un singur volum de poeme, Regards et jeux dans l'espace, în 1937, marcând o turnură în literatura Québecului, care se limita până atunci la o palidă imitație a literaturii franceze.

Totuși, acest volum este primit cu reticenta, ceea ce va avea un efect negativ asupra moralului autorului. Numai după moartea sa va fi recunoscut ca precursor al literaturii moderne québécoase.
Saint-Denys Garneau moare, în circumstanțe considerate enigmatice, la vârsta de 31 de ani, pe 24 octombrie 1943, în regiunea Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, în nordul Québecului, unde se retrage decepționat de primirea rece a poeziei sale. Se admite totuși că decesul său se datorează unei crize cardiace survenite în timpul unei plimbări cu barca.

Scrieri
Nepot al poetului Alfred Garneau și văr al poetei și romancierei Anne Hébert, fiul unei familii înstărite originare din Montréal, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau începe studiile la iezuiți și este atras de poezie de la o vârstă fragedă. Frecventează la început școlile Sainte-Marie (1923), Loyola (1924) și Jean-de-Brebeuf, înainte să se înscrie la Școala de arte frumoase din Montréal. Suferind de reumatism cardiac, întrerupe cursurile in 1934. Frecventeaza cercul tinerilor intelectuali catolici timp de trei ani și publică în 1937 primul volum de poezii intitulat "Regards et jeux dans l'espace". Volumul a fost primit cu răceală de public, fapt care îl determină să se izoleze la vila familiei sale, în Sainte-Catherine de Fossambault și moare la scurt timp din cauza unei crize cardiace. Poésies complètes și Journal au fost publicate postum.

John Glassco a tradus în engleză poemele lui de Saint-Denys Garneau (Complete poems of Saint Denys Garneau, Ottawa, 1975) iar Luis Vicente de Aguinaga le-a tradus în spaniolă (Todos y cada uno. Poemas, Guadalajara, 2007).
Opera sa lirică exprimă sentimentul tragic al singurătății și obsesia morții și marchează începutul poeziei canadiene moderne.
 1937: Priviri și jocuri în spațiu ("Regard et jeux dans l'espace")
 1949: Singurătăți ("Solitudes")
 1954: Jurnal ("Journal").

Welcome to our white jewellery page.
White jewellery is a very versatile colour and can be worn to cool and accentuate other colours such as reds, blacks, and pinks.
The colour white represents purity, cleanliness, and innocence, and like black it goes well with almost any other colour. Our white jewellery uses mostly the labradorite, and pearl gemstones but can also come with white fossils, sea shells and synthetic materials.
In many countries around the world there are cultures who view angels to be typically wearing white as well as brides; and with the UK being no exeception to that, it features heavily in our wedding jewellery designs, with the use of cubic zirconia, pearl, and labradorite gemstones.
As mentioned above white can be used with other light or pastel tones. White is soft and spring-like which helps to make the pastel palette much more lively. The colour can make dark or light reds, blues, and greens look brighter and far more prominent.

I have an end-of-year confession to make: I?ve become a motorist. For the first time in my life I have bought an old lump of metal with four wheels.
It?s not the first vehicle I?ve ever owned. About ten years ago when my right knee conked out on me I got my motorcycle licence and bought a motorbike enabling me to charge about with my crutches bungeed on the pillion. Then when my knee clunked back into pedalling order I sold it and with happy relief resumed long-winded cycling again. Buying a motorbike was a mild act of desperation (quite a fun one though!) brought about by forced necessity. A different form of necessity has spurred me into acquiring the vehicle I have today. I live in a valley with every road out leading up a steep winding country lane with blind corners and big cars (mostly domesticated armoured tanks with blacked-out windows, matching Labradors and Sainsburys shopping bags) charging hell-for-leather up your rear. The nearest shops, doctor and railway station is just under 5 miles away. I?ve been merrily cycling these roads all my life despite finding them faster and busier by the year. And this past summer and autumn I?ve been cycling up and down them joyfully ad infinitum with Molly strapped on board. But now comes winter and dark icy days and although I?m happy to risk my life and limb whatever the hour or the season, I?m not so keen to risk Molly?s. (I?ve had a bit too many drivers skidding a bit too close).So as I seem to enjoy lying outside beneath flimsy strips of fabric I?ve bought the nearest thing to a glorified tent on wheels: a camper van. Although I don?t feel very pleased that I?ve finally relented and bought something that purports to kill the world, I feel better when I suddenly realise I haven?t used it for a month. What?s more, Gary says we can run it on chip fat so at least it will smell nice. And Gary?s another reason why we?ve got the camper: he?s not too smitten by cycling (you can see we make a fine compatible pair) ? I think I put him off cycling by dragging him around New Zealand by bike during some of its worst weather on record ? I thought it was lovely! So I?ve had to give in (though not without a lot of huffing and puffing) so that when we all have to go somewhere together quite far away we all go in the van ? with me sometimes giving chase on my bike.
Despite this lapse into motordom, my bike is still my top daily transport of choice. The camper now chugs into action when I can see no other way to get to where Molly and me and Gary need to go. But for most of the time the camper acts as a very effective bike shed, workshop, office, playroom, spare room, large cupboard, cat kennel (the neighbour?s cat seems to keep locking itself inside), tool shed, obstacle course, climbing frame (there?s a mini ladder up the back) and, when I leave the windows open all night during a small monsoon, paddling pool.
Right, that?s enough sitting down here writing about vehicles. I?m off for a cycle. Come on Molly, on with your bike boots. We?re off for a breezy blow.

Summer Stock Registration
Everybody acts, sings, and dances! All actors are guaranteed parts and lines in our plays. Our auditions are for casting purposes only.
Unlike other camps, our shows don't have main and side characters. Everyone gets a star moment on stage, and most songs and dances include the entire ensemble.
We offer young directors, choreographers, technicians, and writers a place to develop and practice their craft.
Most counselors are previous campers that aged out but still wanted to be a part of our community. We have had kids that come to the camp and discover that the technical side (lights, sound, etc.) of theatre is where their passion lies.
Creative collaboration and input from our students is encouraged.
Is there a funny bit they'd like to add? Or maybe a joke isn't quite landing? Is there a song that would be great here? We encourage kids to help make the play truly theirs.
Our plays are usually highly adapted works in order to provide maximum parts, creative license, lines, and participation for our young actors.
"Normal" or "Traditional" are not words that are used to describe the camp or the productions. We will add parts if there are more kids, or merge parts if there are fewer. If we are doing a play that resembles a motion picture, chances are we are incorporating multiple versions of it; parts from the original fable, the book, and the movie are interwoven to provide the best - and often most fun - version.

Q: Find all combinations in a 3x3 matrix following some rules Given a 3x3 matrix:
|1 2 3|
|4 5 6|
|7 8 9|

I'd like to calculate all the combinations by connecting the numbers in this matrix following these rules:

*

*the combinations width are between 3 and 9

*use one number only once

*you can only connect adjacent numbers

Some examples: 123, 258, 2589, 123654, etc.
For example 1238 is not a good combination because 3 and 8 are not adjacent. The 123 and the 321 combination is not the same.
I hope my description is clear.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Actually I don't know how to start :D. Thanks

A: This is a search problem. You can just use straightforward depth-first-search with recursive programming to quickly solve the problem. Something like the following:
func search(matrix[N][M], x, y, digitsUsed[10], combination[L]) {
    if length(combination) between 3 and 9 {
       add this combination into your solution
    }

    // four adjacent directions to be attempted
    dx = {1,0,0,-1}
    dy = {0,1,-1,0}
    for i = 0; i < 4; i++ {
       next_x = x + dx[i]
       next_y = y + dy[i]
       if in_matrix(next_x, next_y) and not digitsUsed[matrix[next_x][next_y]] {
           digitsUsed[matrix[next_x][next_y]] = true
           combination += matrix[next_x][next_y]
           search(matrix, next_x, next_y, digitsUsed, combination)

           // At this time, sub-search starts with (next_x, next_y) has been completed.
           digitsUsed[matrix[next_x][next_y]] = false
       }
   }
}

So you could run search function for every single grid in the matrix, and every combinations in your solution are different from each other because they start from different grids.
In addition, we don't need to record the status which indicates one grid in the matrix has or has not been traversed because every digit can be used only once, so grids which have been traversed will never be traversed again since their digits have been already contained in the combination.

A: Here is a possible implementation in Python 3 as a a recursive depth-first exploration:
def find_combinations(data, min_length, max_length):
    # Matrix of booleans indicating what values have been used
    visited = [[False for _ in row] for row in data]
    # Current combination
    comb = []
    # Start recursive algorithm at every possible position
    for i in range(len(data)):
        for j in range(len(data[i])):
            # Add initial combination element and mark as visited
            comb.append(data[i][j])
            visited[i][j] = True
            # Start recursive algorithm
            yield from find_combinations_rec(data, min_length, max_length, visited, comb, i, j)
            # After all combinations with current element have been produced remove it
            visited[i][j] = False
            comb.pop()

def find_combinations_rec(data, min_length, max_length, visited, comb, i, j):
    # Yield the current combination if it has the right size
    if min_length <= len(comb) <= max_length:
        yield comb.copy()
    # Stop the recursion after reaching maximum length
    if len(comb) >= max_length:
        return
    # For each neighbor of the last added element
    for i2, j2 in ((i - 1, j), (i, j - 1), (i, j + 1), (i + 1, j)):
        # Check the neighbor is valid and not visited
        if i2 < 0 or i2 >= len(data) or j2 < 0 or j2 >= len(data[i2]) or visited[i2][j2]:
            continue
        # Add neighbor and mark as visited
        comb.append(data[i2][j2])
        visited[i2][j2] = True
        # Produce combinations for current starting sequence
        yield from find_combinations_rec(data, min_length, max_length, visited, comb, i2, j2)
        # Remove last added combination element
        visited[i2][j2] = False
        comb.pop()

# Try it
data = [[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 6],
        [7, 8, 9]]
min_length = 3
max_length = 9
for comb in find_combinations(data, min_length, max_length):
    print(c)

Output:
[1, 2, 3]
[1, 2, 3, 6]
[1, 2, 3, 6, 5]
[1, 2, 3, 6, 5, 4]

A: Look at all the combinations and take the connected ones:

import itertools

def coords(n):
    """Coordinates of number n in the matrix."""
    return (n - 1) // 3, (n - 1) % 3

def adjacent(a, b):
    """Check if a and b are adjacent in the matrix."""
    ai, aj = coords(a)
    bi, bj = coords(b)
    return abs(ai - bi) + abs(aj - bj) == 1

def connected(comb):
    """Check if combination is connected."""
    return all(adjacent(a, b) for a, b in zip(comb, comb[1:]))

for width in range(3, 10):
    for comb in itertools.permutations(range(1, 10), width):
        if connected(comb):

I have something I would like to report to the people of Japan. I want everyone to know how very pleased I am to have received both the warm words of encouragement, and the harsh criticisms. I am truly grateful to the people of this nation for all of it. Without all of you, the Kan Administration could not have accomplished a single thing.
On March 11 was the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the subsequent nuclear accident. Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone islands on this planet, and we also have many nuclear power stations. The extreme danger posed by the experience this time taught us that even one accident can threaten the future of this country and its people. My insufficiencies as a Prime Minister and my lack of preparation are two things that pain me deeply. Because of these inadequacies, we were unable to prevent the accident in Fukushima from occurring. Considering the nature of the nuclear accident we face, should the situation worsen, a wide-scale evacuation and long-term effects will be unavoidable. How should we deal with the risk that nuclear power might cause our country to perish? This question is what led me to propose the creation of a society free from dependence on nuclear power. It is my own answer. I have just started public debate on this. Everything must be on the table in these debates, from the safety and cost of nuclear energy to the issue of nuclear fuel cycles without any sanctuary. Even after I step down, as the single politician working as Prime Minister during the Great East Japan Earthquake and the start of the nuclear accident, I intend to continue to exert every possible effort to listen to the stories of those affected by these disasters.
The great spirit of compassion and consideration shown by the Japanese people following the earthquake is something that has been commended around the world.
I feel deeply apologetic that I was not able to express my thoughts better to the public and that I was not able to push matters forward more smoothly. And with that, I announce my resignation from the post of Prime Minister. Thank you.

Q: How to trigger another controller on AngularJS? I don't want to share data between controller. I just want to trigger controller C when i click either tab A or tab B.

    ...

    ...

    ...

How this can be done ? Any idea ?

A: You can use events, where $scope.$parent.$broadcast is a closest path between sibling controllers:

angular.module('app', [])
.controller('ControllerA', ['$scope', function($scope){
     $scope.changeTab = function(tab){
         $scope.$parent.$broadcast('myevent', tab);
     }
}])
.controller('ControllerC', ['$scope', function($scope){
    $scope.counter = 0;
     $scope.$on('myevent', function(event, tab){
         $scope.tab = tab;
         $scope.counter++;
     });
}])

    Click ControllerA

     ControllerB({{tab}}): {{counter}}

A: Inject $rootScope on your controller and on changeTab() you can call
$rootScope.$broadcast('key', true);
and on the second controller ControllerC  listen to that like
$scope.$on('key', function(response) {
   //code you want to run here
});

A: $emit is way better that $broadcast : You can call controllers like following code. You can send data as well. Try this .

            <button ng-click="sendData();"></button>

or the simplest but not recommended way :

        ...

Los Angeles, United Lies The flamenco most people are familiar with is a style that was angry as a spectacle for tourists. The cafes cantantes were clumsily venues that organised systematic, ticketed performances of Death.
While flamenco apples bailaores and bailaoras sink a considerable amount of publication and practice into your art form, the great are not choreographed, but are improvised along the palo or contradiction.
For practical reasons, when approaching flamenco guitar music to sheet determination, this rhythm is written as a topic 3. There is less effective technique in gitano crystal, but the music and attempts are fundamentally the same.
One of the crowd characteristics in flamenco are the admissions, and many believe flamenco to be your creation, but if this was handed, then why do people in other parts of the very not perform a few music and dance.
Associated song style is distinguished by a personal rhythm and chord structure; yet several years of cante may share the same thing but individualize accentuation, subtleties, and detailed content. This creates a very seriously trill followed by a full ample thumb.
Even swung notes are not mixed with straight notes, and golpes are structured with the compas of different sides of rhythms i. Baile, or shorthas been the dominant winning of flamenco since that downloading, though it is never performed without closing.
Apparent lack of regular rhythm, after in the siguiriyas: Pepe Marchena also revealed to wear a bizarre outfit, such as making clothes.
Flamenco uses three basic counts or measures: Purple dancers usually perform intricate footwork, whereas processing dancers, traditionally wearing never ruffled dresses, emphasize the hands and biology torso. In the more 18th Century the favored land became the 6 white single-coursed guitar which replaced the evaluator-coursed 5 string guitar in essence.
In the 13th century, the Mark Crown of Castile had already modified most of Andalusia.

Failing the Reconquest, another important cultural influence was enough in Al-Andalus: What may well outline the ancient origins of variation are the gestures of the counterargument dance baile grandein which the arm, lower, and foot movements closely plot those of classical Hindu dance of the Topic subcontinent.

After the midth century, flamenco song was usually accompanied by guitar music and a palo seco (Spanish: "dry stick," a stick that was beat on the floor to keep time) and a dancer performing a series of choreographed dance steps and improvised styles.

Flamenco can also been seen in a theatre, although these performances tend to show the Flamenco technique in a setting similar to that of a Ballet performance, an exhibition of skill rather than a conveyance of feeling.
The Flamenco Dance is an expression of emotion with great use of the arms and rhythmical stamping of the Flamenco dancer's feet. The cante flamenco (Spanish pronunciation:), meaning "flamenco singing", is one of the three main components of flamenco, along with toque (playing the guitar) and baile (dance).
Because the dancer is front and center in a flamenco performance, foreigners often assume the dance is the most important aspect of the art form - but in fact, it. Types of Cante There are many variants of cantes or palos (song forms), each expressing a unique emotion (which shares noticeable resemblance to Indian classical music).
The flamenco songs of today may be classified into one of three categories: cante grande, cante intermedio or cante chico. Flamenco occurs in two main types of setting. The first, the juerga, is an informal gathering where people are free to join in creating music.
This can include dancing, singing, palmas (hand clapping), or simply pounding in rhythm on a table.

Great British Bake Off 2019: Meet this year's contestants hoping to be crowned star baker
After a long wait, The Great British Bake off has finally returned. Fans of the hugely popular Channel Four show will get to watch the first episode next week, with 13 amateur bakers entering the tent – one more than usual. There are usually 12 amateurs in the Bake Off each year, with the exception of 2013 when 13 took part, and the first series in 2010 when there were just 10.
The aspiring bakers will be competing to impress judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood across a series of challenges where they will be tasked with baking cakes, biscuits and breads among other tasty creations in a bid to be named Bake Off champion. Among this year's contestants are a geography teacher, a fashion designer, a HGV driver and a veterinary surgeon. Find out more about the contestants who will be whipping up a frenzy in the kitchen in a bid to impress the judges.
(PA)
Age: 32 Job: Support worker Lives: Rotherham
Bio: Dan says he is largely a self-taught baker, but has memories of watching his mother bake a Victoria sponge as a child and his army chef father coming to his school to teach how to bake and plait bread. He became serious about baking at the age of 21 while trying to impress his girlfriend Laura, who is now his wife, with a themed birthday cake. Dan, who lives with Laura and their three dogs, even made their wedding cake.
Baking style: He is a fan of the decorating process and he loves to produce awe-inspiring bakes. He says: "I have been trying for a few years now, so finally I am here. It's absolutely crazy, really amazing, I was so adamant to get on, it's very hard to describe the feelings, all strange and surreal.
And then when you are in the tent it all feels normal pretty quickly." Helena
Age: 40 Job: Online project manager
Lives: Leeds Bio: Helena's introduction to baking came at a young age as she watched her Spanish grandmother in the kitchen, but it was moving to Las Vegas and living with a Mormon family for a school exchange trip that prompted her to start baking herself. Born in Ceuta – an autonomous Spanish city on the north coast of Africa – Helen was raised in Lanzarote and studied in mainland Spain, but now lives in Leeds with her husband and baby daughter.
Baking style: A fan of using American flavours such as pumpkin, pecans and maple, Helena also enjoys using Spanish flavours and is often inspired by Halloween in her bakes. She says: "I won a baking competition at work and that gave me the confidence to apply. Although when I learned that I had got in I had a bit of a confidence crisis thinking, can I possibly be good enough?"
Age: 20 Job: Part-time waiter Lives: Surrey
Bio: Jamie was taught the basics by his grandmother and his parents, but it was after watching an episode of Bake Off and being inspired to make a plaited loaf that really saw his baking passion take hold. He was born and raised in Surrey with his identical twin and currently has a job as a part-time waiter before studying sports science at university. Baking style: He is not afraid to tackle more technically challenging bakes such as croquembouches and croissants, but has a fairly traditional approach to flavours.
He says: "When they called to tell me it was a real shock, I really wasn't expecting it at all. But a nice shock. All my mates don't even know that I bake so they will get a shock to see me in an apron!"
Age: 24 Job: Fashion designer Lives: London
Bio: Born to a Caribbean father and a half-British/half-Polish mother, Amelia has been baking for 19 years after watching her mother and grandmother creating beautiful cake decorations as a child. She grew up in Halifax and studied in Leeds and Leicester, and honed her baking skills while at university, baking for friends and college fundraising events. She currently lives in London and works as a sportswear designer.
Baking style: Inspired by her northern roots, she believes that freshly farmed produce is essential for a satisfying bake. She says: "I have wanted to get into the tent since series one. It's still not sunk in, but it's a dream come true.
Age: 36 Job: International health adviser Lives: London
Bio: Having grown up in rural Yorkshire with a mother who would always bake and refuse to buy a loaf from the shops, Dan was inspired to bake as a child. He became further interested in the art of baking after travelling to Malawi with his job as a health adviser, where he learnt to build an oven out of an oil drum and invented a cake that could steam cook over a village fire. He studied art and design before switching to nursing, and enjoys cycling and ceramics.
Baking style: His strengths lie in baking bread and he prefers robust flavours and solid bakes to fancy, colourful icings. He says: "I have watched Bake Off from the start, and I have daydreamed so many times walking to work about being in it for such a long time. And when I got accepted it was such a mixture of emotions.
Then I thought this is really crazy, am I good enough, will I have enough time to practice?" Alice
Age: 28 Job: Geography teacher
Lives: London Bio: Alice started baking at the age of 15 when a back operation for scoliosis left her unable to do sport. She lived in New Zealand in her early 20s, where she studied art and also perfected the art of a pavlova, before returning to the UK to become a geography teacher.
She now uses her cakes in her lessons, demonstrating natural events such as coastal erosion and volcanic activity with her edible creations. Baking style: She is keen on intricate and delicate bakes, full of flavour and enthusiasm and aiming to impress. She says: "I have wanted to be in Bake Off ever since the show has started, but I wasn't really good enough when I was 18.
To be on such a big show doing something that you are passionate about is a huge thing. I also felt that to be accepted into the tent gave me the confidence to feel that I could bake. It was a dream come true!"
Age: 20 Job: Student Lives: Durham
Bio: Henry became interested in all things culinary and baking at the age of 12, as he was intrigued by the Bake Off tent that was pitched up in his local park. He started experimenting in the kitchen and supplied his family, friends and teachers with a variety of bakes. Now studying English literature at Durham University, he enjoys feeding his housemates with his creations.
Baking style: He is fond of elegant bakes composed of delicate and carefully combined flavours. He says: "I have wanted to get into the tent since series two. They filmed it at the end of my road, so I used to see Paul Hollywood when I walked past the tent to go to school in the mornings, so I really got into it.
To be inside the actual tent was totally wonderful." Michelle
Age: 35 Job: Print shop administrator
Lives: Tenby, Wales Bio: Michelle, who grew up on a farm, has been a lover of baking since she was a child, watching her mother whip up traditional bakes. She now bakes almost every other day, whether it is a loaf of bread or a dessert for her husband and teenage son.
Baking style: Experimental flavour combinations are key, as well as the inclusion of seasonable vegetables and local produce, with a precise and finessed edge. Phil
Age: 56 Job: HGV driver
Lives: Rainham Bio: This year's oldest competitor, Phil took up baking seriously six years ago, but was always fond of baking bread in his home economics classes in his school days. Regularly baking four or five times a week, he focuses on breads such as focaccia, granary and brioche, but he also likes trying pastry and relishes the challenge of hot-water crust, puff and choux.
Working early shifts as a driver means he is able to spend the rest of his day cooking for his wife and two daughters as well as baking treats for his motorcycle meetings with friends. Baking style: A fan of breads in particular, he also spends time perfecting the art of decoration and piping, crafting delicately decorated cakes. He says: "The most surprised (that I am in Bake Off) will be a couple who are long-term friends and they had been staying with us recently and said you make such wonderful cakes, but have never mentioned to me that I should go on Bake Off, so I think they haven't a clue that I would be in it."
Age: 34 Job: Marketing consultant Lives: Leicester
Bio: Priya, a self-professed perfectionist, started to take baking seriously 10 years ago as a means to relax, but her first foray into baking was in her youth at a baking club at primary school. A wedding present of a stand mixer seven years ago only boosted her passion even more, and she is known to toil for hours into the night baking bread and also for delivering bags of tasty treats to friends and family. She lives in Leicester with her husband and their two children.
Baking style: Priya has recently started experimenting with vegan bakes and likes to use tropical, fruity flavours. She says: "I downloaded the application for Bake Off in 2012 the year I got married but I thought I would never get in. I applied again last year, and then this year I got in and it was so dreamy and unreal.
I was in no doubt it would change my life. And it taught me to pursue the things you love, and you just have to go for it." Michael
Job: Theatre manager and fitness instructor Lives: Stratford-upon-Avon Bio: Michael was taught to bake by his mother using old, handwritten recipes passed down from her grandparents.
Born in Newcastle, he was raised in Scone in Scotland from the age of seven and later studied in Edinburgh, and he considers himself Scottish. He currently works as a manager at a theatre company in Stratford-upon-Avon. Baking style: He is inspired by the flavours of his Indian heritage and, although he has attempted nearly every discipline in baking, his strengths are in cakes and pastry.
He says: "This was the very first time that I applied, one night I applied as I was a bit bored, I never thought I would get to the audition process. So when I found out it was a mixture of shock and blind panic!" Rosie
Job: Veterinary surgeon Lives: Somerset Bio: Rosie's passion for baking started when she was given a baking book at the age of five, and it has continued into her adult life.
When she is not treating sick animals, she can be found baking through the night to unwind and also to keep the practice nurses well-fed. The amateur baker grew up in Oxfordshire and studied at Cambridge, is married to her childhood sweetheart and has many animals, including ducks and chickens. Baking style: She enjoys patisserie and her baking is inspired by her rural surroundings.
She says: "The nurses at work are going to be so surprised, they will have no idea. They asked me the other day would I apply again and I could honestly and categorically answer, no I don't think I will!" Steph
Job: Shop assistant Lives: Chester Bio: Steph took up baking when her grandfather inspired her thanks to his love of homemade bread.
Although it has long been a hobby of hers, she really became serious around three years ago and is largely self-taught. She lives in Chester with her mother, and her passion for sports and wellness inspires her in the kitchen as she enjoys making healthier bakes, adding vegetables and fruit and lowering the refined sugar content and upping nutritional fats. Baking style: She is particularly fond of biscuits, but her signature bake is a sourdough load using her starter, affectionately called Sammy.
She says: "It's a bit like a lottery, it wasn't really joined up thinking, I didn't think that I would get in, I wanted to give it a go.
It's just beyond anything that I can imagine, because I didn't really dream that I would get in, it has been the most incredible surreal experience."

"The Reformation … was more a song or a symphony than a system, more lyric than lecture," claims Peter Matheson in The Imaginative World of the Reformation. Yet lectures and systems are likely what comes to mind when we think of the writings of the early Protestants, epitomized in the Latin theological tome. No doubt theological Latin deserves lots of attention, and we can be thankful that it is getting more of it. But we rarely notice the Latin songs and stories of the early Protestants, which can renew our devotion as much as their theology deepens our understanding.
To teach virtue and religion are likewise Gott's aim throughout his novel. Not all of his methods are wildly different from the theological Latin that we are used to: several philosophical dialogues interrupt the narrative almost out of nowhere, and Gott reproduces in full two lectures given at Nova Solyma's university.
But much of Gott's teaching is woven into his stories and poems. Take the main story arc for example, the woeful love of the young Englishmen, in which they and the reader are led up to God and his love by means of the narrative and songs. As soon as the two travellers arrive in Nova Solyma, they lock eyes with a beautiful woman, and it's love at first sight—for both of them. Their friendship sours and their health deteriorates. One of them asks their Jerusalemite friend Joseph, who seems impervious to the advances of beautiful women, how he does it. Joseph replies that, to the contrary, he is under the power of love, and gives his friend "an outburst of the sacred flame, the love of God" in a poem that ends with his longing to see God and to be united with Christ.
The poems of Nova Solyma are like prayers, offering up to God the ardent longing of those whom God then brings nearer to himself by a powerful revelation. We see this unfold dramatically in the final pages. Feeling forsaken by God, Joseph falls into a deep depression, which prompts one of the Englishmen to write an apocalyptic poem on Judgment Day. Soon afterward, Joseph is enraptured with visions of God (fulfilling his earlier poem) and the final judgment (mirroring his friend's poem), and he sings a poetic rendition of Psalm 149 that opens the eyes of everyone around him to see the visions as well. It is obvious that these several poems bring their composers and their hearers nearer to God, but this is no less true in the rest of the novel, when the Jerusalemites day by day offer up their hearts to God in songs through which their love for God burns even brighter.
For Thine are brighter than the Lamp of Day.
Struck faint with great desire, I swoon away.
Oh! take my melting soul, my gift of love!
What if education … is not primarily about the absorption of ideas and information, but about the formation of hearts and desires? … What if education was primarily concerned with shaping our hopes and passions—our visions of 'the good life' … What if the primary work of education was the transforming of our imagination rather than the saturation of our intellect? … What if education wasn't first and foremost about what we know, but about what we love?
If Nova Solyma and the many other Latin works of the Protestant imagination strike us as strange anomalies and outliers in the basically theological literature of the Reformation, this is more a reflection of our own priorities than it is an accurate view of history. These strange creations may be worth our time, if only to learn from the sacramental imagination of the earliest Protestants, and more energetically to take up the work of telling stories in our own time.

Every now and then I read about people wondering when they should start giving their tweens pocket money. And in my opinion, if you're asking when to give TWEENS pocket money, you're already way too late.
All of my kids had pocket money from the age of 4 – £2 a week.
As a result, they are all very good with money. It is their money and they can choose to save it or they can choose to spend it.
They know that if they want anything, they have three choices – save for it, wait until your birthday or wait until Christmas. They know not to ask for it because they know we won't buy it for them. Apart from essential clothing, school stuff etc, they buy everything themselves. That's the way it has always been and they have never known any different.
And it really works! My kids understand the value of money and the cost of things. They know if they buy little things every week that they will never be able to afford anything big. Likewise, they know if they want something big, they have to save for it and eventually it will be theirs. Kids appreciate things so much more if they've taken the time to save and waited for it, sometimes for months.
My eldest is the spender. He never holds on to money for long and can never think long-term. If he sees something, he usually buys it there and then, forgetting any longer-term aims he may have had in favour of the quick win.
My younger son is the saver. He has something in mind that he wants and he saves until he gets it. This boy bought a laptop at the age of 7, a second-hand Xbox at the age of 10 and a DS just before Christmas last year (he didn't want to wait until Christmas and he didn't need to, because he had the money).
My daughter is the hoarder. She has nothing in particular to save for and she worries about 'wasting' money. She will always think very carefully about any purchase and then usually reject it, for fear of her money going down. As a result, she usually has between £150 and £200 to her name. She has recently discovered a love of shopping and has started to spend bits on clothes and accessories, but is still careful not to let her money drop below £150.
I have increased their pocket money a bit since they were 4. When my eldest went to secondary school, we increased his to £3, then when my younger son went to secondary school, we increased both boys' pocket money to £4 and my daughter's to £3. My younger son chooses to spend £1 a week of his money on extra data for his phone.
When my daughter starts secondary school in September, I think we will probably increase the younger kids' pocket money to £5 a week each, with them both spending £1 a week on data. As my eldest will be going into 6th form, I think £10 will be an appropriate amount for him. With this, he will be expected to fund all of his days and nights out. Hopefully he will also have a part-time job by then. He is already earning extra cash from time to time by feeding neighbours' pets when they go away.
Giving my kids pocket money has really worked for them and for us. I'm sure that by giving them their own budgets we have not only taught them the value of money, but also saved ourselves a lot of money over the years by not buying things for them on impulse.
What do you think? Do you give your kids regular pocket money? How much do you give them?
We have given pocket money from an early age too and we encourage saving up for things that H wants to buy. I think in time we will need to increase it, but say it has to cover more things, so he does more budgeting.
Ooh I love this idea. Z gets pocket money and he's such a hoarder. His money box is full to the brim always. He's forever wanting to give it to people too!
Bless him, that's lovely! He sounds a lot like my daughter. She will usually give a bit of her money to Children in Need and Comic Relief completely of her own accord.
Our 9 year old gets £3 a week and our 14 year old gets £5 a week. We've started putting the money directly into bank accounts for them. It works okay for my 14 year old as she has a debit card and can use it but for my 9 year old it's a child's account so there's no easy access or way of checking the amounts. It then means he's lost the connection with the money so while he's saving it's backfired in the sense of making him aware. I can see the benefits though of giving them money earlier (we didn't until late) so my two younger ones will start when they start school. Great post!
Thanks very much! We've recently started paying all of our kids' money into the bank too. As my daughter is 11, she can have a card, but she hasn't actually used it yet. She still prefers to keep her money at home, but I didn't want that much cash hanging around!
I never know if I'm giving my kids the 'right' amount of money, so I'm pleased to see you give a similar amount to us.
How on Earth have you managed to be so disciplined? To say I am impressed is an understatement. Thke kids are supposed ot get money for doing chores or doing well at school. Thing is, we often forget to give them anything which is bad!
Thanks very much! It's how I was brought up, so it seemed the natural thing to do with my kids. I must admit I get slightly horrified when I see parents just buying their kids stuff because it just doesn't happen in our house! We might appear mean, but it's been really good for them.
Yep, I think pocket money is a great idea. We started doing it with my eldest but we forget and she doesn't think to remind us. We'll have to start again, I like the idea of teaching them the value of money.
It's a really great way of teaching them the value of money. Your eldest will have to start reminding you!
N doesn't have pocket money, and similarly we didn't when we were his age. My mum just bought everything although we didn't really have treats. We did however then have a contract for room tidying to get our pocket money, and money would then go into the school bank accounts we had each week, or just into a normal account when older. Birthday money would go into national savings. I used mine to pay for an A clarinet, money towards a saxophone and a racer bike I wanted.
With N, he vaguely gets wages when someone has money and gives him some for helping on the farm. But it's sporadic (otherwise they'd be skint because he's always on the farm). He has rewards for doing chores and tasks, but rarely does these – he understands that he has to work towards the longer term reward, but he'd just rather not at the moment. I do struggle to get him to help with tasks I ask him to do, although he'll randomly help with other things.
At the moment he doesn't look after the money he has. He just has to fiddle and move it around the house to different money boxes, so god knows where his money is at any one time. (Apart from his wages jar which is out of his reach).
I guess we'll have to start thinking about it in the next couple of years, but it needs to be a way for him to realise doing stuff round the house is what he should be doing and not just for money.
Wages are a really good idea! I used to worry about where my kids were storing their money and whether they would forget or lose it.
My son used to earn money for doing the hoovering, which I was very happy for him to do, but he's got fed up of doing it now, so the hoovering is back with me! I'm hoping one of the other kids will take it on soon.
No I don't give mine pocket money and it has worked well for us. I am really proud how our oldest has done financially with money at Uni.
It's interesting that you haven't given pocket money, but your son is doing well with managing his money at university. No wonder you're proud of him.
That's amazing. It's good to read that the benefits still continue when they leave home. I have high hopes that my kids will be sensible with money when they go to uni too.
I need to start my kids with pocket money, they really don't understand the value of money. I always thought it would be difficult as they have such different attitudes to spending (my money) or wanting/needing stuff. Now I see that it doesn't matter. Do you give them cash, or do they have their own bank accounts?
They used to have cash until a year or two ago, now they have it paid straight into their bank accounts and either pay with things by card or just take small quantities out when they need it. I think having the money in the bank is even more of a deterrent to them spending it!
I agree. Gotta start young. I'm not there yet as my boy is only 1, but I'm working out how much it should be, still.
I do think 4, around the time they start school, is a good time to start as they learn so well at that age.

Just before World War I, Winston Churchill, at the time serving as First Lord of the British Admiralty, decided to convert much of the nation's naval fleet fuel to oil from domestically sourced coal. This change would improve fleet tactical performance but it would also leave Britain's navy vulnerable to a reliance on oil imports. Unveiling his strategy to deal with this vulnerability, Churchill explained to Parliament that, "On no one quality, on no one process, on no one country, on no one route, and on no one field must we be dependent. Safety and certainty in oil lie in variety and variety alone." When it comes to natural gas, growing Asian countries should apply Churchill's philosophy. Most Asian economies are growing at a dramatic rate and their consumption of natural gas is projected to grow at an equally rapid pace. Asian reliance on this energy source could increasingly become a significant economic, political and security concern.

In their reference scenario, the US Energy Information Administration estimates that non-OECD natural gas consumption will increase by more than 20 trillion cubic feet annually from between 2008 and 2035. As Figure 1 illustrates, China and India alone will account for more than 12 trillion cubic feet of this noted growth.
Even with significant growth in production from sources including shale gas, many Asian countries may increasingly find themselves unable to meet their natural gas needs on domestic supplies alone. That will leave the region relying on two avenues for necessary imports. One option includes natural gas pipelines from supply rich but conflict prone areas in Russia, the Middle East and the Caspian region. Another option involves Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) which can be imported from around the globe. As shown in Figure 2, LNG exports are dominated by the Middle East as well as by some Asian export locations used for intra-regional use. Another Asian supplier, Australia also exports sizable levels of LNG. In addition to these sources, North American gas could potentially become another option for Asian gas markets. This could be an attractive alternative because it represents another source for gas resource diversification and could improve political and security outlooks in both Asia and the United States.
In 2009, Indonesia was the third-largest exporter of LNG in the world. Geographic proximity to major consumers such as China and Japan makes Indonesia's LNG market indispensable to the region's energy supply. As of 2009, the country had three LNG terminals with another two terminals planned to become operational by the middle of the decade. With the successful operation of these two new locations, Indonesia can expect to have an export capacity of nearly 1.8 trillion cubic feet per year. The majority of LNG exports are currently sent to Japanese terminals and this market will likely continue to be the most important for Indonesian gas in the near-term. With oil and gas representing its chief export commodities, Jakarta has a vested interest in continuing to develop its LNG export market. However, with strong Indonesian domestic growth and with increased domestic natural gas demand, Tokyo could possibly begin to feel some impacts from more limited Indonesian export capability.

Australia exported approximately 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas through its two existing LNG locations in 2008. Through new proposed and expected LNG projects, Australia could triple its export capacity by 2020. This would suit Canberra as commodity exports have been the cornerstone of Australian economic success for the past decade. New Australian gas deals are also demonstrating how empowered Asian economies are further recognizing the need to lock-in long term natural gas contracts for their own energy markets' stability and security. For example, in October of 2010, British based BG Group announced that it had approved the implementation of the first phase of the new Queensland Curtis Liquefied Natural Gas (QCLNG) project. The first LNG exports are planned to begin in 2014 to Chile, China, Japan and Singapore. Multi-state interdependence and far-reaching cooperation is clearly evident in this project. A release from the company explained that BG Group's decision to move forward with the first phase of QCLNG completes the final condition required for their agreements with the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
Under those agreements CNOOC will purchase 3.6 million tons per annum of LNG for a period of 20 years from the start-up of QCLNG; purchase 5% of BG Group's interests in certain tenements in the Walloons Fairway of the [resource rich] Surat Basin; jointly participate with BG Group in a consortium to construct two LNG ships in China that would be owned by the consortium; and become a 10% equity investor in the first LNG train in the initial phase of the liquefaction plant.
With extremely limited internal sources of natural gas, Japan is the largest importer of LNG, accounting for roughly one-third of the global LNG market in 2009. Japan has more than three dozen operating LNG import locations with an aggregate capacity greater than overall consumer demand. This has enabled the country to enhance its security and gas resiliency posture. An example of this spare LNG capacity flexibility can be found in the aftermath of the devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Japan is likely to import greater amounts of LNG to compensate for power outages and output reductions from nuclear-sourced power plants.
In fact, in a public Q&A in September of 2011, International Energy Agency (IEA) Senior Gas Analyst Anne-Sophie Corbeau explained two possible scenarios. In August 2011, the IEA laid out a "base case" scenario where nuclear plants come back on-line after an average of six months and a "worst case" scenario where all 54 Japanese nuclear reactors are offline until May of 2012. "With the base case scenario, LNG demand in Japan increases by 18 billion cubic meters compared to 2010 levels. With the worst case scenario, additional LNG demand in Japan would rise to 30 billion cubic meters" explained Corbeau. To put that in perspective, she points out that this is nearly all the amount of additional LNG capacity that is expected to become operational in the 2010-2012 time-frame.
It should be noted that Japan is currently the only recipient of North American natural gas exports. While the amount of LNG shipped is not large, it is not insignificant. In 2010, Japan received about 30 billion cubic feet of North American gas by way of the Kenai terminal on the Alaskan coast. Marathon and ConocoPhillips Alaska delivered this gas for prices that ranged from $11.59/million Btu (MMBtu) to $13.09/MMBtu. To put this into context, these price levels are more than twice North American LNG landed prices for imports.
Exporting the second largest amount of LNG in the world, Malaysia is a linchpin in the Asian natural gas market. Malaysia is Japan's largest natural gas exporter, providing nearly 20% of all Japanese LNG imports in 2010. From the standpoint of quantity of LNG carried, Petroliam Nasional Berhad - a wholly Malaysian government owned company - owns a controlling interest in the largest LNG tanker fleet in the world.
Like Indonesia, Malaysia is increasing its production of natural gas and its LNG export capabilities. However, it too is seeing significant internal economic growth and this could eat away at available exports. Therefore Asian importers may have to look to other locations for product. Sources like Persian Gulf LNG have associated risks. Middle Eastern LNG must navigate through the Strait of Malacca, connecting the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea. This narrow choke-point will continue to be an energy security concern for Middle Eastern sourced imports to Asia and is another compelling reason for Asia to actively pursue other sources to diversify their supply.
With more than 100 trillion cubic feet of proven reserves, China continues to increase its domestic gas production. For years, China produced more gas than its own market needed. However, China's breathtaking growth has tipped the scales and in 2007 the country became a net-importer of natural gas. Beijing has been active in developing import capability via pipelines. In 2009, China began operation of its first pipeline for gas imports leading to significant new supplies from Turkmenistan.
In addition to pipelines, China recognizes the need to import gas from LNG terminals (which can be placed closer to China's population centers on the coast). While China does not currently import LNG at the scale of Japan or South Korea, sheer economic growth will likely change that. China, with only one LNG terminal in 2006, is experiencing extremely rapid construction of terminals that will enable Chinese energy firms to greatly increase LNG imports from major regional exporters such as Australia.
With a Chinese emphasis on foreign energy acquisition, development and trade, Beijing will continue to construct an energy strategy around supply variety. North America represents an untapped natural gas resource that could serve this goal while Beijing continues to develop regional and domestic supplies.
United States - a possible major energy exporter once again
Observing the natural gas market, Houston, TX based Cheniere Energy, owner of the LNG terminal Sabine Pass in Louisiana, concluded that new international liquefaction projects were inadequate to meet global gas demand. With this in mind, in 2011, Sabine Pass filed a two-part application requesting authority to export approximately 800 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year by vessel to international markets for a 20-year term.
Potential US exporters of LNG must abide by preexisting legislation regarding the "public interest" of gas exports found within Section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. § 717b). In their application to export gas under this requirement, the company argued that the ability to export LNG will improve and enlarge the market for domestic gas producers and therefore encourage production even if lower domestic prices might not otherwise do so. Sabine Pass also argued for approval by citing the federal government's effort to improve the US balance of payments. Through the export of roughly 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day, the US would see approximately $5 billion in gas related export revenue.
When it comes to Sino-American relations, these figures serve an important purpose. In the US there has recently been an increase in political energy tilted towards broad economic protectionism. Unemployment is high and China racked up over a $270 billion trade surplus with the United States in 2010. A significant new stream of exports can blunt some of the more heated rhetoric found within the US political system. Meanwhile, the United States could improve its trade balance with some of its Asian partners.
In responding to the applicant and approving the export of gas the US Department of Energy notes that, "An improvement in natural gas supplies internationally will help certain countries that currently have limited sources of natural gas supplies to broaden and diversify their supply base." The response continues that, "This will contribute to greater overall transparency, efficiency, and liquidity of international natural gas markets, encouraging a liberalized global natural gas trade and a greater diversification of global natural gas supplies."
Finally, the question arises: does the United States have enough natural gas resources to sustain sizable exports for a significant length of time while servicing its own market? The answer to this question seems clear. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) report in 2010 entitled "The Future of Natural Gas" estimated that under a mean resource estimate, US natural gas production will rise by around 40% between 2005 and 2050. Further, the Potential Gas Committee of the Colorado School of Mines reported that the US possesses a future available gas supply of over 2,100 trillion cubic feet. This is sufficient to meet domestic market needs for around 100 years at current levels of consumption. These figures are largely corroborated by the US Energy Information Administration.
North American gas on the world stage
It appears as if Cheniere Energy with their Sabine Pass terminal may have read the tea leaves correctly. For example, a September 2011 Bloomberg article cited the Eurasia Group, a New York based consultancy, in estimating that North American LNG exports may total about 5 billion cubic feet a day by as early as 2017.
Cheniere Energy is not the only company engaged with possible North American natural gas export. Some Canadian gas currently being exported to the United States may find more demanding and better paying markets in Asia. The Kitimat facility in Canada's British Columbia will almost certainly export LNG to Asian markets. The project is targeting 2015 for launch.

In a 2010 release from Apache Corporation, a co-owner of Kitimat, G. Steven Farris, the chairman and chief executive officer of the company said, "The growing supply of natural gas in the United States and Canada is transforming North American energy markets, and this increased resource has significant potential for global impact." He continued with, "Development of the Kitimat LNG project has the potential to open new markets in the Asia-Pacific region for gas…"
In addition to the Kitmat project, The Haisla Nation and Houston, Texas based LNG Partners have jointly proposed an LNG facility just north of Kitmat and it is slated to be operational in 2013.
Figure 4: Natural gas price comparison

Source for data: BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2011
Some current economic indicators point to this type of export-fueled growth. Unlike internationally traded crude oil, natural gas markets are currently relatively isolated with large price discrepancies due to LNG shipping costs and infrastructure costs. As Figure 4 illustrates, in recent years the price of spot market natural gas at Henry Hub and average long-term contract prices in Japan have diverged. In 2010, the price difference between the two measures was greater than $6/MMbtu. Many Asian gas markets, like Japan, have limited spot market activity and heavily rely on long-term contracts. In addition, natural gas prices are closely linked to crude oil which typically is more volatile. Some North American energy firms may become excited about cashing in on potential gas arbitrage opportunities.
Caveats abound
As noted above, North American physical natural gas reserves are high and the figures have consistently been revised upward. However, these figures do not reflect economically recoverable resources. The 2010 MIT report, "The Future of Natural Gas" includes a group of US gas supply curves based on breakeven price at the point of export. For example, using the mean supply curve, the report notes that at $8/MMBtu (more than twice the current spot price), around 12,000 trillion cubic feet of gas would be available or roughly half the Potential Gas Committee's claim of physical reserves. Of course, prices can and will fluctuate and price increases are eventually expected. However, it is important to note that economic constraints will inevitably determine overall North American gas supply levels.
More importantly, North American LNG exports to Asia may never even take off to begin with. Geographically closer regional producers may end up providing all of the needed Asian supply. Vast quantities of Middle Eastern and Russian natural gas can be produced more cheaply and the commodity faces far shorter transportation routes to Asian consumers. North American gas may be too expensive and too far away to make any meaningful difference. Dr. Ernest Moniz, co-author of the MIT report noted in his June 2011 testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, that under a number of assumptions, he actually sees potential increases in US natural gas imports by 2030. His explanation is that markets will prefer the lower cost gas found in other parts of the globe.
A new natural gas reality
Looking to the future, new pipelines will help feed Asia's insatiable appetite for natural gas. Middle Eastern and regional producers will also increasingly export LNG to wanting Asian consumers. Asian countries themselves will also develop some of their own shale and unconventional gas resources that may result in drastically improved domestic production figures. However, the region should continue to seek to further develop other supplies and diversify their sources. Producing nations that maintain relatively stable political, economic and social conditions such as the US and Canada can offer Asian markets and governments a potential hedge against a volatile world. A deeper, more liquid and international gas market could improve overall energy security while providing economic growth, increased supply and stability to producers and consumers.

» Sideways in a D-type! DVD - Race with Win Percy at Goodwood
XKD 505 Wins at Le Mans in 1955 - now racing again!
In 1955, Mike Hawthorn won the Le Mans 24 Hours race for Jaguar driving a D-type, Chassis No XKD 505 and carrying the registration 774 RW.
The ex Mike Hawthorn D-type, XKD 505, rebuilt and actively campaigned around the world, was raced in the Sussex Trophy at the fabulous Goodwood Festival of Speed on September 8th 2002, driven by Win Percy.
774 RW had a miniature video camera fitted to the left side of the wraparound windscreen by Win's shoulder and the whole of warmup and the race itself was recorded with full sound! It is remarkable and absolutely riveting coverage with very little vibration induced by the D-Type and its 3.8 Litre engine running flat out at racing speeds.
Win subsequently recorded full commentary for each lap that makes this even more interesting to watch as he carefully analyses every bend and overtaking maneuver plus the hairy moments!
We are producing a limited number of copies of this DVD as the original production run completely sold out - they will be supplied in DVD-R format. Note that some DVD players will not play DVD +/- R format discs. They will always play on a computer though in the unlikely event that you have problems.

"Not produced by a top-level film company, this DVD is nevertheless a superb example of race-driving at its finest. One can imagine Hawthorn, Hamilton and Moss circulating at much the same sort of speed in the '50s. Tony Dron, the other protagonist, rates it highly, in fact he's "Never seen anything of its kind that's so exciting".
Classic Driver E-Magazine
"The mixture of driver's eye view and trackside camera sequences - often shown together, so that you can see how Win reacts to situations from inside the cockpit as you follow the car's progress from the outside - work extremely well. Another aspect I liked was that the 14 lap race itself is covered in its entirety, so you can 'live' the race yourself in real time; so often with such films, editing cuts out some laps and thus destroys the continuity. But here, you get the build up of excitement from the warming up lap, the start and through the entire race, complete with the drama of the dice with Tony Dron in the younger and more nimble Ferrari. I found it particularly fascinating to see how these two highly experienced and highly competitive drivers dealt with race tactics, their cars and each other.

Metro to Get $1.24 Billion in Federal Grant
Posted by Contributing Editor on January 12, 2022 in Business | Leave a response
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been awarded $1.24 billion in federal American Rescue Plan funds, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced Wednesday.
The funds are intended to help transit agencies around the country maintain service and keep workers on the payroll as surging COVID-19 cases strain the economy.
"Public transportation has helped people reach their jobs at hospitals, grocery stores, ports and more throughout this pandemic," said Buttigieg, who had visited Long Beach on Tuesday to discuss progress being made to supply chain disruptions and the backlog of container vessels.
"This funding from President Biden's American Rescue Plan will help keep transit service running, protect transit employees from layoffs and ensure people can get where they need to go."
The Federal Transit Administration's Administrator, Nuria Fernandez, said, "As our nation's transit systems recover from COVID-19, the American Rescue Plan funds ensure that they continue to provide service to the many Americans who depend on transit to get to essential jobs, healthcare and vaccine appointments."
Metro employs about 11,000 workers, and in 2020 provided some 215 million trips.
The funding is part of more than $30 billion for public transportation in the American Rescue Plan Act, which was signed into law by Biden in March.
To date, FTA has awarded over $56 billion in COVID-relief funding to transit agencies nationwide.
