Why we shouldn't leave out biofuels in the energy transition
By Matthew Capuano-Rizzo
The world's largest biogas bus fleet in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The city plans to increase orders of biogas buses and convert its 185 existing buses to the latest Euro 6 emissions standards. Such efforts have made Nottingham City Transport on track to reduce its emissions by more than 84% per year. –Bioenergy International and Bioenergy Insight
Most coverage of the climate crisis is accompanied with an uplifting segment at the end in which former Vice President Al Gore pops in to inform us that solar panel installer is the fastest growing job in America, followed by wind turbine technician. Now this is undeniably great news, but let us keep in mind that 80% of our nation's energy still comes from fossil fuels. Global emissions hit a record 43.1 billion metric tons in 2019. Experts predict that the coronavirus lockdown, with all of the suffering and loss of life it has entailed, may reduce global emissions by 5% in 2020. According to the United Nations 2019 Emissions Gap Report, we need to reduce emissions by 7.6% every year from 2020 to 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. If we follow our current, inadequate commitments, temperatures can be expected to rise 3.2 °C above pre-industrial levels, with devastating effect.
So if a crisis fails to reduce our global emissions to the levels we need, do we have any reason to hope? While emissions are expected to bounce back next year, most of the world agrees that climate change is as serious as the coronavirus. In an Oxford University study, Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglize outlined how government spending on low-carbon industries and activities would better benefit the economy in the short and long term than bailing out the fossil fuel industry. City leaders from Los Angeles to Lisbon, São Paulo to Seoul, Melbourne to Mexico City have published a 'statement of principles,' pledging to center COVID recovery plans around climate action. As these plans are drafted, we must save a seat at the table for renewable fuels.
What are biofuels?
99% of all biofuels produced and consumed worldwide come from food crops. Biofuel producers ferment starches from beets and sugar cane to create ethanol and ferment oils from soybeans and palm fruits to create biodiesel. Most of the biofuel produced in the United States is ethanol, derived from corn. According to the International Energy Agency, biofuel production would need to triple by 2030 to meet targets for sustainable growth. Biodiesel can also be derived from vegetable oil and animal fats. In contrast, biomethane, also known as renewable natural gas, can be captured from landfills, livestock waste, and wastewater.
Biofuels are somewhat controversial in the environmental movement due to the food versus fuel debate. Feedstocks that use grasses, algae, animal waste, grease, and wastewater may be the most preferred because they employ waste products rather than the food supply to provide fuel. Most of us have seen the 10% ethanol sticker at the gas station and it is easy to wonder if that 10% really makes any difference at all. It turns out that it does. Including 10% ethanol in 98% of motor fuel has allowed the US to reduce concentrations of tropospheric ozone and particulate matter by 21 and 26 percent respectively. In reality, biofuels are much cleaner than their 100% fossil fuel counterparts. For example, renewable diesel, a different form of biofuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats, has 80% lower emissions compared to conventional diesel.
The US leads the world in per capita carbon dioxide emissions. Each American emits more than 16 tonnes of CO2 per year. In 2018, the United States emitted 6,677 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 28% of those emissions came from transportation. Transportation represents the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions largely because the number of vehicle miles traveled by passenger cars and light-duty trucks has increased by 46.1 percent from 1990 to 2018. In terms of solutions, auto-manufacturers know how to fabricate engines that can handle high levels of ethanol. Joanne Ivancic, Executive Director of Advanced Biofuels USA and member of the Maryland Clean Energy Center's advisory board, explains that "there used to be a federal incentive to build cars that could use E85 and other high ethanol blends, but the Obama administration took that incentive away."
How do biofuels fit into the clean energy market?
Despite many policymakers focus on an "electrify everything" approach, liquid fuels appear here to stay for the foreseeable future. This is not to say that electrification ambitions, particularly those involving high speed rail and the expansion of electric vehicles should be abandoned. Rather we must understand the reality of how fast a transition will occur. Ivancic, citing a study done by the Maryland Department of the Environment, underscored that "even if all the cars being sold in the state of Maryland are electric by 2050, half of the cars on the road will still need liquid fuel." Thus, biofuels should not be viewed in opposition to electric vehicles (EVs), but rather in partnership with EVs. The economic effects of Maryland's full 2019 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act draft plan are below.
One way of achieving high levels of renewable liquid gas use lies in Advanced Biofuel USA's proposal of a Non-Renewable Carbon User Fee that the organization recently submitted to the United States House of Representatives Committee on the Climate Crisis. As the renewable content of the fuel increases, from 10% to 85%, the consumer fee would decrease over time, from $92.40 to $17.60 per year. Instead of refunding the profits of the dividend to the American people as proposed in the Climate Leadership Council's Plan, revenu from a "disappearing" carbon tax would be invested in research and development in renewable fuel and the construction of renewable fuel pumps across the United States. The plan emphasizes that such infrastructure should first be constructed in low-income communities that experience disproportionately more air pollution. It should be noted that such disparities are much more acute for people of color who experience on average 66% more air pollution than their white counterparts. Many countries have already begun implementing plans that have increased production and use of biofuels.
Let's zoom out
An overemphasis on problems and solutions to the climate crisis within the United States would make our destruction seem inevitable. Despite non-negligible action at the state and local level, the United States remains the only country in the world to pull out of the landmark Paris Agreement and the Trump Administration has continued to purge climate experts, while rolling back regulations on harmful pollutants such as mercury and particulate matter. According to Greenpeace and the Centre for Research and Clean Air, air pollution costs the global economy $2.9 trillion in healthcare costs. Since many of us have been on Zoom lately, I thought we may want to 'Zoom' out.
Many countries are leading the charge in the realm of biofuels and beyond. Oslo, the capital of Norway employs biogas from food waste to power the city's 135 buses. Employing renewable fuels in public transportation is particularly effective because residents forgo each taking a private car, which emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. Vietnam, in a similar strategy, has begun replacing wood-burning stoves, a source of indoor air pollution, with biogas stoves, powered by pig waste. Similarly in Tanzania, the construction of more than 12,000 bio-digesters has benefitted more than 70,000 Tanzanian people with clean energy and an organic fertilizer. Across the Atlantic, Sabesp, a Brazilian company and one of the largest water and sewage companies in the world, has begun using biogas generated from its sewage treatment plan to power its vehicles. This initiative replaces 1,500 litres of diesel each day. Thus, change is possible. While electrification and growth of solar and wind energy will be essential to decarbonization, renewable liquid fuels will play an integral role in the energy transition. Biofuels facilitate circular economies by using the waste products of sewage, agriculture, and food scraps as fuel.

Bohater Czechosłowackiej Republiki Socjalistycznej (w latach 1955–1962 Bohater Republiki Czechosłowackiej) – tytuł honorowy nadawany przez Prezydenta Czechosłowacji na wniosek rządu jako odznaczenie za szczególne zasługi dla państwa związane z dokonaniem bohaterskiego czynu lub wielokrotnymi czynami bohaterskimi.

Bohater Czechosłowackiej Republiki Socjalistycznej otrzymywał Złotą Gwiazdę Bohatera Czechosłowackiej Republiki Socjalistycznej, która miała kształt pięcioramiennej gwiazdy. Była wybijana ze złota, a powierzchnia gwiazdy była polerowana. Na środku gwiazdy osadzono mniejszą pięcioramienną gwiazdę pokrytą czerwoną emalią. Na rewersie gwiazdy widniały litery ČSR, nad nimi sierp i młot, a pod nimi numer odznaczenia. Gwiazda była noszona na czerwonej wstążce, zakończonej u dołu złotą zawieszką, składającą się z buławy umieszczonej poziomo i dwóch gałązek laurowych skrzyżowanych pod nią. U góry wstążkę wieńczyła złota spinka. Każdy odznaczony miał otrzymywać jednocześnie Order Klementa Gottwalda (analogicznie jak tytuł Bohatera Związku Radzieckiego był nadawany razem z Orderem Lenina).

Tytuł ustanowiono rozporządzeniem nr 6/1955 Dz.U. z dnia 8 lutego 1955 roku, które regulowało nadawanie tytułu honorowego Bohatera Republiki Czechosłowackiej, ustanawiając jednocześnie takie odznaczenia komunistycznej Czechosłowacji, jak Order Czerwonego Sztandaru, Order Czerwonej Gwiazdy, Medal za zasługi w obronie Ojczyzny i Medal za zasługi dla Ojczyzny. Nawet po zmianie nazwy państwa w 1960 roku w dokumentach rządowych nadal stosowano dla tego tytułu honorowego nazwę Bohatera Republiki Czechosłowackiej, chociaż późniejsze dokumenty odwoływały się już do tytułu Bohatera Czechosłowackiej Republiki Socjalistycznej.

W przeciwieństwie do Bohatera Związku Radzieckiego, tytuł Bohatera Czechosłowackiej Republiki Socjalistycznej był nadawany niezwykle rzadko – otrzymało go tylko 31 osób, z czego 13 obywateli Czechosłowacji i 12 obywateli ZSRR.

Tytuł honorowy został zniesiony z dniem 15 października 1990 roku.

La mesquita d'Àqsunqur —en àrab جامع آق سنقر, jāmiʿ Āq Sunqur—, també coneguda com a Mesquita Blava —en àrab الجامع الأزرق, al-Jāmiʿ al-Azraq— i com a mesquita d'Ibrahim Agà —en àrab مسجد إبراهيم أغا, masjid Ibrāhīm Aḡā—, és un dels monuments islàmics d'època mameluca de la ciutat del Caire, forma part del conjunt arquitectònic conegut com a Caire Històric, declarat Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO. Porta el número 123 del catàleg de monuments islàmics gestionat pel Supreme Council of the Antiquities. Està situada al centre històric de la ciutat, al nord de la Ciutadella

Història

Xams-ad-Din Àqsunqur era un personatge important de la cort, fou governador a Gaza i Trípoli sota el regnat del soldà An-Nàssir Muhàmmad ibn Qalàwun (governant entre 1293 i 1341, en tres etapes), i gendre seu. Va tenir força influència durant els curts regnats dels successors d'an-Nàssir, s'havia casat amb la seva vídua.

Àqsunqur va manar la construcció de la mesquita en l'època àlgida de la seva carrera, 1346 i 1347. Està situada a l'avinguda que comunicava el Caire fatimita amb la Ciutadella, lloc de pas dels soldans i la seva cort.

En 1346 Àqsunqur va organitzar un complot contra el soldà al-Kàmil Xaban (1345-1346) en suport d'al-Mudhàffar Hajjí (1346-1347), que com a contrapartida, el va fer matar.

El 1412 l'emir Tughan va instal·lar-hi la font del pati.

Entre el 1652 i 1654 s'hi va afegir la decoració amb ceràmica que l'ha fet coneguda. La rajola és d'estil d'Iznik; pot ser que procedeixi d'Istanbul, però també és possible que es tracti d'una producció de Damasc, que seguiria aquell estil. El promotor d'aquesta obra fou l'emir Ibrahim Aghà, que va apropiar-se de la mesquita, rebatejant-la amb el seu nom. També s'hi va fer enterrar.

L'edifici es va restaurar al , ara es troba en mal estat de conservació, apuntalat i en desús.

L'edifici
Aquesta mesquita està formada per un pati central envoltat per tres porxades. Al quart costat hi ha la sala d'oracions de dues naus. La façana no està alineada amb el pati, com a solució, el costat de l'edifici oposat a l'alquibla té un cos triangular, on està situada la porta principal i el mausoleu.

El mihrab és bàsicament de marbre, sia treballat en relleu o bé combinant amb peces de diferents colors. Està situat al mur de l'alquibla, sota una cúpula. Al seu costat es troba un magnífic minbar, també de marbre.

A la mateixa façana es troba el minaret. De planta circular i amb tres pisos de diferent diàmetre i rematat per un bulb. Originalment tenia quatre pisos. Es va restaurar al .

Tot el mur de l'alquibla està recobert amb la ceràmica blava que dona nom a la mesquita, de l'època d'Ibrahim Aghà. Aquest personatge té el seu mausoleu al porxo lateral i també es troba decorat amb ceràmica.

El mausoleu
En un del vèrtex del triangle, a tocar del mur de la façana es troba el mausoleu, cobert amb una cúpula. Una inscripció és dedicada a al-Àixraf Kújuk (1341-42), un dels fills d'an-Nàssir Muhàmmad (i fillastre d'Àqsunqur). Va governar fins que fou empresonat a la Ciutadella i estrangulat tres anys després pel soldà al-Kàmil Xaban (1345-1346), germà seu. Sembla que Kújuk era un titella sota la voluntat d'Àqsunqur, havia mort abans de la construcció de la mesquita i les seves restes foren traslladades aquí en 1347. A la mateixa època es va enterrar al mateix lloc el soldà al-Mudhàffar Hajjí. Hom pensa que Àqsunqur havia aixecat el mausoleu per a ell mateix i que fou la seva vídua qui va fer els canvis, però no n'hi ha constància documental. Al centre del porxo sud hi ha una tomba amb una inscripció que l'assigna a Àqsunqur i que conté dades de la fundació de la mesquita. És d'època otomana, i possiblement és una còpia de la del seu mausoleu original.

I still can't push code to github despite getting the You've successfully authenticated message in this debug output, the SSH identity being generated by SourceTree itself, and ensuring my SSH Agent is running by doing eval "$(ssh-agent)".
I can also see the expected key in my github profile.
What is wrong here?

A:
my SSH Agent is running by doing eval "$(ssh-agent)".

This is likely the problem. ssh knows to talk to ssh-agent via the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variables. Environment variables are only visible to a process and its children.
eval "$(ssh-agent)" sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK for this shell and its children only; that is anything you ran from that shell. If you then run git in this shell it should work. But if you have some stand alone program not launched from this shell, like Atlassian Sourcetree, when it runs ssh it will not know to talk to that ssh-agent.
You could launch Sourcetree from that shell, but that's not a very good solution.
To fix this, and a host of other ssh related problems, start your ssh-agent at login. This should be done for you by your operating system, or if not follow the instructions for your operating system. Otherwise, follow the advice in the various answers here.

The vaccine to prevent every strain of flu
by FIONA MacRAE
Last updated at 09:08 29 December 2006
British scientists are on the verge of producing a revolutionary flu vaccine that works against all major types of the disease.
Described as the 'holy grail' of flu vaccines, it would protect against all strains of influenza A - the virus behind both bird flu and the nastiest outbreaks of winter flu.
Just a couple of injections could give long-lasting immunity - unlike the current vaccine which has to be given every year.
The brainchild of scientists at Cambridge biotech firm Acambis, working with Belgian researchers, the vaccine will be tested on humans for the first time in the next few months.
A similar universal flu vaccine, being developed by Swiss vaccine firm Cytos Biotechnology, could also be tested on people in 2007 - and the vaccines on the market in around five years.
Importantly, the vaccines would also be quicker and easier to make than the traditional jabs, meaning vast quantities could be stockpiled against a global outbreak of bird flu.
Martin Bachmann, of Cytos, said: "You could really stockpile it. In the case of a pandemic, that would be a huge advantage.
"If you were to start making a traditional vaccine at the start of a pandemic, there is no way there would be enough."
The Government believes a bird flu pandemic is inevitable, killing 50,000 people in Britain alone.
However, it acknowledges that the bug could be much more lethal - infecting one in two people and claiming more than 700,000 lives.
Normal winter flu can also kill, claiming up to 12,000 lives a year in the UK.
Although a vaccine exists, constant changes in the virus's appearance have until now made it impossible to create just one flu vaccine.
Instead a new vaccine is put together each year to protect against the particular strains circulating at that time.
In addition, the virus used in the jab is grown in hen's eggs - a time-consuming process that yields just one shot of vaccine per egg.
The new jabs would be grown in huge vats of bacterial 'soup', with just two pints of liquid providing 10,000 doses of vaccine.
Current flu vaccines focus on two proteins on the surface of the virus. However, these constantly mutate in a bid to fool the immune system, making it impossible for vaccine manufacturers to keep up with the creation of each new strain.
The universal vaccines focus on a different protein called M2, which has barely changed during the last 100 years.
The protein is found in all types of Influenza A, including the current bird flu and the virus that caused the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic which killed up to 50 million across the globe.
Normally, such vaccines would have to go through at least five years of human tests before going on the market. However, if a bird flu pandemic occurs before that, they could be made more quickly available.
Zurich-based Cytos, which is also developing anti-smoking and obesity vaccines, has showed that its version of the jab stops mice dying from a dose of flu strong enough to kill them four-times over.
The vaccinated animals were also spared the fever that normally goes along with flu.
Although it is too early to say what the effect would be in humans, an initial course of two or three shots could provide long-lasting immunity, topped up with booster shots given every five to ten years.
Dr Ashley Birkett, of Acambis, said: "It wouldn't be that one shot protects for life but you would need fewer doses over your lifetime."
In addition, the jabs could be produced in vast quantities and stockpiled ahead of a flu pandemic - or even given to people in advance.
In contrast, a traditionally-produced vaccine, matched to the specific strain of flu, would not be available until around six months after the start of the pandemic.
The new vaccines only protect against influenza A - the version of the bug responsible for pandemic flu and the most severe cases of winter flu.
However, it may also be possible to create a similar jab against influenza B, which causes a milder form of winter flu.
Professor John Oxford, Britain's leading flu expert, said the development of a universal vaccine was the "holy grail" of flu research.
He added: "If you get a M2 vaccine which protects against the whole caboodle in the same vaccine, the possibilities are huge."
But, others cautioned that there is no guarantee that the jabs would be as effective in humans as it has been in animals.
Virologist Professor Ian Jones, of the University of Reading, said: "It is an encouraging technique which may have a role to play but it is too soon to assume that it will translate into a universal vaccine in the human population."
Dr Jim Robertson, a vaccine expert from the government-funded National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, said the main advantage of a universal jab would be lasting immunity.
"If it works, it will be lovely," he said. "The best result would be that it would last for a long, long time."
Dr Ron Cutler, an infectious diseases expert from the University of East London, said: "Continual protection would be a tremendous advantage against flu."
He cautioned however, that there is no guarantee that the M2 protein will not mutate in the future - meaning the jab will have to be regularly reformulated.

Idara Victor's second TV acting gig ever, she found herself having a really hard time figuring out what was what on the Manhattan set of NBC's Law & Order: SVU.
"You can officially call yourself a New York actor when you've done a Law & Order of some kind," the TURN: Washington's Spies star says, laughing. It's funny now, but she remembers being disoriented by how quickly and smoothly the then-seven-seasons-old production moved.
The small part was followed by increasingly bigger ones, leading to Victor's current (and concurrent) jobs: She plays slave-turned-spy Abigail on AMC's TURN (which ends its season Monday at 10/9c) and soulful techie Nina on TNT's Rizzoli & Isles (which returns for Season 6 on June 16 at 9 pm).
In advance of the TURN finale, we asked Victor to give us the lowdown on a few of her past roles.

him of a French match, either for his son or for himself; and Maximilian and Philip encouraged him to look for the hand of Maximilian's daughter, Margaret of Savoy. When Philip went to Spain, Margaret was left as Regent of the Netherlands, and since his marriage with her would have given Henry the government of that country, this scheme was more than once the subject of negotiations; but she could not herself be induced to agree to it. A more repulsive match was for some time talked about, owing to Philip's early death (September 25, 1506), namely with his widow, the mad Queen Juana of Castile; which Henry could only have contemplated as a means of obtaining the control of her kingdom. But another project was afterwards set on foot, which tended the same way, and excited the most serious jealousy in Ferdinand. As Philip's son Charles, heir alike to the lands of the House of Austria, the dukedom of Burgundy and the throne of Castile, was but a child under tutelage of his grandfather Maximilian, Henry won the Emperor over to an alliance; and a treaty was concluded at Calais, December 21, 1507, for the marriage of Prince Charles to the King's second daughter, Mary. Bonds were taken from various princes and towns in the Netherlands for the fulfilment of this treaty when the prince should come of age; and, on December 17, 1508, the Sieur de Bergues, who came over at the head of a distinguished embassy, married the Princess by proxy. On the 21st a rich jewel of the Emperor, called the fleur-de-lis, was given in pawn to Henry for 50,000 crowns of gold.

Do you know why your company's in trouble? Go back to the drawing board for a fresh approach -- and ask for help when you need it.
Business failure is indeed a reality. Many entrepreneurs have failed in the past, and the sad truth is many more will fall short in the future. If you're reading this article, chances are you're either about to give up on your company or you're desperately seeking strategies to help revive your dream. Whichever the case, I have some good news. First, though, reconsider why you're considering packing up your business.
When we're faced with the very real possibility of failure, it's tempting to give up. But it's those days of near-failure that will test the strength of your business strategy. Giving up is easy. Toughing it out is the real challenge. Borrow a page from collegiate football coach Nick Saban, who sums up his philosophy in "How Good Do You Want to Be?" He writes, "Do not relax when you are far ahead or dominating your marketplace. That is the time to push even harder."
Before you give up on your business, you owe it to yourself (and any employees) to devote some concentration to these six concepts.
1. Know what is going wrong.
Plenty of business owners seek positive input from customers. You also should create a system to collect negative feedback. When things go awry, this is usually where you can learn a large part of the "why" behind it.
Business owners often are unable to separate themselves from their companies. You are not your business. Coming to terms with this will help you be more objective and keep your head in the game.
Some ventures fail due to irresponsible owners. You can't afford to eat up profit simply because your name is on the paperwork. Reach an understanding on salary review for yourself and staff members to determine what's viable at this time.
You also must be willing to ask questions. You aren't the first person who's experienced this phase of business. When my second business was failing, I sought advice from a colleague whom some might have considered less experienced or influential. Yet my company's salvation came as a direct result of that objective action. Reach out. If you need to, engage a professional business consultant.
You are not an island, and you don't hold all the business knowledge -- even about your own venture. Be open to new ideas. Yours may be very good, but they aren't the only way to achieve success. You might find out that your bright ideas don't always translate into the real world.
3. Invest in your team.
Your team has played a significant role to get your business to this critical point. Now, more than ever, you need to transform your staff into an asset. It's possible your employees don't understand your business model or the business itself. Some might be barely there for the paycheck. This isn't good for any business.
Nothing grows a business like having a dedicated team whose members commit themselves to its success. Your employees must believe they are committed stakeholders and an active part of the business. By extension, your executives must become master salespeople.
As the saying goes, two are better than one because they receive a better reward for their labor. You'll be shocked at the magic that can be worked by a determined group.
Pitch what your customers want, not what you feel like selling. Remember your business exists to offer services that resonate with your clients. Demand and supply remains the crux of economics. Your business survival depends on knowing your customers and fulfilling their needs.
Make client satisfaction a key priority. Invest in an extensive and encompassing market survey. Engage your customers to discover what they truly want from your business. Then align your product model and marketing plan to suit their demands.
Your business won't survive solely on existing customers. To grow your income, you need to add new clients. Create awareness for your product by investing in low-cost advertising methods. Meet people one-on-one if you must -- in fact, depending on your industry, you should be doing this anyway.
Return to the root of the problem. There must be reasons why you are where you now find yourself. If you've started collecting data and monitoring negative feedback, you should have more than idea of the true causes. Now, what can you do about it? Go back to the proverbial drawing table and ask yourself some hard questions. Are you paying out more in salaries than your incomes can carry? Do you need to lay off some staff, make adjustments to compensation packages or consider other cost-cutting measures?
Redefine your value proposition, if you deem it necessary. It could be that the very thing setting you apart from other businesses in your marketplace is a reason for your failure. Consider following the working trend, if only as a marketing test. Being different isn't best in every circumstance or space.
Carefully set new goals that are clear, definite and specific. Craft a select few, as chasing too many objectives at this point will not help you right the ship. Your business needs more cash flowing in, so your immediate goals should revolve around marketing and bringing in sales as quickly as possible.
It's also worth researching whether you might qualify for a grant. Federal, state, county and even local development programs exist because these agencies and organizations have a deep interest in fostering small businesses.
6. Make a plan for your assets.
If your business fails today, your company's assets may be your only consolation. Assets are meant to yield money for your business, and that shouldn't change in the midst of dire circumstances. The money you could realize from trading these assets might be the lifeline you need to stay afloat.
You can lease out buildings and core machinery for a handsome fee. At this point you'll definitely feel the temptation to sell, but don't make the decision as a knee-jerk reaction. You could lose out big, and there is no shortage of people who are waiting to capitalize on such a costly mistake.
David Webb, owner of Hudson and Marshall auctions, gave this analysis of his company's clients: "A large percentage of our customers buy buildings from failing businesses who just don't have it in them to carry on." If you can reach agreeable terms, it's often best to enter a rental or leasing arrangement. If you absolutely must sell, endeavor to retain some proprietary rights in the property.

MicroBioSensor currently has three products in development based on its underlying MicroBioSensor™ technology.
Our lead product, QuickCheck, is an early warning system for life-threatening peritonitis. The QuickCheck device enables medical staff to be alerted if high leukocyte or microbial cell levels are indicated by a colour change in any of three windows. These results are available immediately at the end of an overnight dialysis session.
QuickCheck also provides sensitivity data for vancomycin, the front line antibiotic most most commonly prescribed for infective peritonitis. It is therefore able to flag an emerging infection at an early stage and confirm infective peritonitis without further delay: something no other product on the market can do. It also provides guidance on the correct choice of antibiotic to treat the infection.
The QuickCheck device is currently undergoing clinical assessment in a multi-centre clinical study. A self-certified CE Mark filing is planned in 2021.
A version of QuickCheck for use at home will enter clinical assessment for self-use by patients in 2022, ahead of CE Marking (via our Notified Body) for approval in 2023.
The STAR system has been developed to test urine samples from UTI patients for antibiotic resistance against five commonly used antibiotics.
A key component is the development of an optical reader for assessing the output of the device, which enables a readout within five hours, and appreciably reduces the size of the companion instrument. The STAR cassette has been designed to provide an automatic diluting function, to enable the device to be used by untrained workers in a care home pharmacy or GP clinic setting.
The cassette and optical reader designs are being finalised and tested by our design and prototyping partners Smallfry (Coventry), and Datalink Electronics (Loughborough).
A clinical assessment is underway to finalise the sample processing protocol ahead of a CE Mark clinical study scheduled for 2021.
PERIFAST: Peritoneal Fluid Antimicrobial Sensitivity Test
PERIFAST is a powerful in-clinic product, providing rapid antimicrobial sensitivity testing for patients arriving at hospital with peritonitis (either PD peritonitis or SBP). PERIFAST will be positioned alongside QuickCheck as an essential test for all patients arriving at clinic with suspected peritonitis.
The system is based around the STAR optical reader and cassette which will be adapted for use with a higher number of antibiotics. This R&D programme is ongoing, and the product will enter full clinical assessment in 2022.

In July I saw Evergrey at the Czech festival Masters Of Rock and a few weeks later word got out that bassist Michael Håkansson left the band. That Fredrik Larsson is the new one, wasn't a surprise for me, but I was curious to see the new line-up live. On the current tour the Swedish play only two shows in Germany and Bochum was one of the last ones of this mini tour. I missed the support talking to some of the Swedish, but have to confess that from the little I heard, I don't regret missing them.
Finally Evergrey entered the stage with Blinded. The fans started singing along from the first note. A mixture of old and new tracks they had and songs like Mark Of The Triangle, Obedience and Monday Morning Apocalypse were the right choice. The new songs fit well in and even they are heavier, more modern sounding they blend in. After In Remembrance it was time to slow down a little with Till Dagmar - a keyboard instrumental. At the beginning of I'm Sorry Tom asked the audience, if they know the words and the whole band was floored then the fans started singing the first lines of the Dilba cover version. Tom sat down at the drum raiser in astonishment, but joined in a moment later. A magic moment - not just for the band! Afterwards Tom announced that they would play a song, they didn't play very often and probably never played in Germany. A fan shouted out loud - The Great Deceiver - another surprise for the Swedish, coz that was the track next on the schedule. Solitude Within they play more often and with More Then Ever the set was over. But the fans didn't want to let them go. When The Walls Go Down led into the encores. Last, but not least they played The Masterplan. Great show!
A new line-up always means changes. Bassist Fredrik Larsson need more stage experience it seems, but he did a good job. It ain't easy to replace Michael Håkansson, coz he was always in motion, head banging, rocking and produced an extremely heavy sound. Fredrik didn't sound that heavy, but is a suitable replacement. It was obvious that the band enjoyed being on stage, especially guitarist Henrik Danhage was in an extremely good mood, even if just about 350 people came to see them.  Unfortunately in Germany they are still underrated, so one can just hope that the Germans will wake up and recognize the band with their next album.... And that they can play more shows in future.
Fans of the Swedish should mark Bang-your-Head festival in their calendars, coz that's the next chance to see them live - as far as it concerns Germany. If you missed them, shame on you! Get the DVD - if you don't have it yet -  and get an idea about Evergrey live!
So the first song we heard was Forgotten Soul. The band presented 2 new faces, coz guitarist Gus G. is touring with his band Firewind in the USA and drummer Dennis Ekdahl... Well, I don't know... Anyway, Sacred Steel drummer Mathias Straub jumped in and for the live show they hired another guitarist. They already have a touring guitarist to help out on stage, so that singer R.D. Liapakis can concentrate on his vocals. Not everything worked out perfectly, but I think that's just because there haven't been enough time to rehearse... But it was just minor things. The guys presented songs of all 3 studio albums incl. Eternal Flame and Sign Of The Cross and finished their set with the Manowar cover Fighting The World. A good set, but I saw them doing better when they opened up for Death Angel, regarding the fact that they have new people on board, it was a good show.
After a break it was time for Rebellion to enter the stage. As in Wuppertal a week ago they started with Ynglinga Saga. When the 2 former Grave Digger members Tomi Göttlich and  Uwe Lulis started Rebellion many thought it's just a project, but now 3 albums later it's obvious that they are a band! It still was a surprise for some fans that Björn Eilen wasn't on stage and got replaced by Simone Wenzel. She wasn't as nervous as a week ago and so could add more to the show then just her guitar play. Songs like Eric The Red, The Prophecy and Ragnhild's Dream sounded tighter. With Born A Rebel - the title track of their second release - singer Michael Seifert could cheer up the fans so that most in the audience were singing along. Sure, they concentrated on their latest release and so this show was like another warm-up for the tour. A highlight was Letters Of Blood and surely the Grave Digger tune Rebellion. Now the fans were going crazy. And with Disdaining Fortune - the encore - their stage time was over. And after 70 minutes of true metal it was time for the prog power metaller from Sweden - Evergrey!
The change over was longer then expected and the Evergrey crew and some local techs tried to fix the technical problems. With the intro the band uses for awhile and which many will know from their live CD / DVD A Night To Remember the band entered the stage and kicked off their set with Blinded. They focussed on In Search Of The Truth and Recreation Day, but with Solitude Within, She Speaks To The Dead and Nosferatu they presented 3 tracks from Solitude * Dominance * Tragedy. A highlight for long-time fans of the band, but for many the ultimate highlight was I'm Sorry. The light show supported the atmosphere created by the songs. Tom Englund is a very charismatic frontman and tried to move everybody in the audience and to clap their hands. Guitarist Henrik Denhage and bassist Michael Hakanson were always in motion while drummer Jonas Ekdahl was headbanging through the whole set... Okay, no headbanging at I'm Sorry.... After Recreation Day it was over... Too soon! And not as planned, coz the local promoter just turned off the sound and the band freaked! Especially Henrik Denhage and Tom Englund started some arguing with the local promoter. Henrik flipped and one of the crew guys had to get in to prevent a fist fight. The band stayed on stage and made the fans shout louder and louder, but that didn't change anything. Due to the fact that this was an open space and near the city they had a strict curfew which is okay, but if the supports - in this case Mystic Prophecy and Rebellion - need more time for sound check and so instead of cutting down their set the local promoter let them play 70 minutes as planned and Evergrey had to cut down their set which is weird. Then due to the technical problems they had another delay which led into the turn off of the P.A. system. Not just unfair to the band, even more unfair to the fans!
The Swedish power progsters just came off the tour opening for James LaBrie to play this acoustic show and present their live DVD A Night To Remember. Afterwards a few more shows – but no other acoustics. So this was something special.  First they showed some stuff from the DVD in the bistro at the huge screen, but then it was time for some live music. As the acoustic set took place in the disco the band had set up the "stage" a little differently. Drummer Jonas Ekdahl on the far left, then bassist Michael Hakansson, Tom S. Englund in the middle - this time without a guitar, but always with a beer - then guitarist Henrik Denhage and on the far right keyboarder Richard Zander. A good chance to watch them closely. They started with As I Lie Here Bleeding followed by Misled. The acoustic versions are sounding different, but great. Here Tom's unique voice put the listener under a spell. The songs are more intense in the acoustic version and The Shocking Truth was amazing. The cover version I'm Sorry was touchung. The band was relaxed and seemed to enjoy this acoustic set as much as the fans did. They had a few beer and lots of fun - especially when Tom tried to get Henrik's microphone closer to the guitar and almost thrashed it.  Some communication in Swedish between the songs, coz they haven't rehearsed the acoustic versions often, but it didn't sound like that! Whenever the band gave the impression that they want to stop playing the fans got even louder and didn't let them go. After Blinded and Waking Up Blind Tom took the chance to escape to say hi to someone who was on the gallery above them. The band continued with Recreation Day and Tom decided to keep staying at the gallery. But after Words Mean Nothing it was over. Too soon! This was just planned as an appitizer and to get some attention for the coming DVD release, but hopefully this won't be the last time they play acoustic! The fans were happy and afterwards had the chance to hang out with the Swedish in the bar / bistro.
Thanks to the Matrix team for setting up this acoustic show / DVD presentation and hopefully there are more to come!
A chance to see Evergrey headline is rare and again we had to go to the Netherlands for the show. But we already feel home at Weert's de Bosuil. Opening act this time were the Danish Mercenary. The sextet probably look more like some Nu metal outfit, but they play melodic death metal / modern thrash. Their latest album is called 11 Dreams and so they focussed on their second release, but also played something from their debut Everblack. I'm not familiar with them, but I'll soon listen to their stuff! Beside the title track 11 Dreams they played Firesoul and Seize The Night. Sorry, but that's the one I remember. The guys did really good, but what makes it interesting is the change between Mikkel's clean vocals and bassist Kral's growls.  An interesting band and they have the potential and the right sound to step on and level with bands like In Flames and Soilwork. Looking forward to hear more from the Danish dynamite.
After a change over it was time for the Swedish masters of dark progressive power metal. And Evergrey entered the stage! Not long ago the Swedish quintet recorded in their hometown Gothenborg a live album and DVD. For that show they put together a set list with all the highlights of the albums released since Solitude * Dominus * Tragedy.  The kicked off the show with Blinded and More Then Ever. Singer / guitarist Tom Englund and his mates had a lot of fun on stage and the great, powerful sound made it easy to enjoy the set. For some it was a surprise to hear Nosferatu and Solitude Within again live. Very intense was the In Search Of The Truth part including Misled, Rulers Of The Mind and Marked By The Triangle. Still my favorite album and so I especially enjoyed them.  But with A Touch Of Blessing they played the best song of The Inner Circle, but it wasn't the only one. To give the band and the fans a break they played I'm Sorry, the cover version of a Dilba song. What a great tune! More of the Evergrey power to follow. Some songs from Recreation Day and The Inner Circle. Too soon the show was over, but they didn't leave without The Masterplan!
Great show, guys! One of the best I ever saw of the Gothenborg quintet. And come back soon! It's a shame that in Germany they rarely get the chance to play headlining shows and so a special thanks to the Dutch and Belgium promoter who brought them down again. Thanks for a great evening and hopefully not the last memorable event at de Bosuil.
When I heard that Evergrey will do a few headlining shows, I knew I had to go to see them! Last time they were supporting Therion and had unfortunately just 35 min. which was not enough for me!
On a Friday night I was on my way to Vosselaar. When I arrived the opening band were leaving the stage, so I can't tell anything about them.
After a break it was time for the Swedish quintet entered the stage. They were still promoting their latest release In Search Of The Truth. The band was tighter then the last time I saw them, the line-up is steady now for quite awhile. Okay, on keyboards they this time got a helping hand from the Andromeda keyboarder. Evergrey concentrated on the songs from In Search Of The Truth, but didn't forget their old stuff! In Germany Solitude * Dominance * Tragedy was more popular then In Search Of The Truth. In Holland and Belgium it was the other ways around, so they played most songs from In Search Of The Truth incl. The Masterplan, Watching The Skies, Mark The Triangle and Dark Waters. But with e.g. Solitude Within and Nosferatu the band offered songs from Solitude * Dominance * Tragedy. In the middle of the set Tom Englund presented the Japanese bonus track which is a slow, very emotional ballad, sorry I can't recall the name.... But it shows that Evergrey can't just write powerful songs. Even if guitarist Hendrik Denhage had in the beginning a few technical problems, it was a great show, but again too short! Just about 70 min.! Anyway, the band had obviously a lot of fun. And so the fans who were just a little disappointed that it was over that soon. Thanks, guys!
Btw, without Bob, the owner of the Biebob and the record store next door, Evergrey wouldn't have come down! Bob talked them over to do the handful of shows and the audience reaction shows that he was right! So, special thanks to Bob!!!


Summer is approaching, time to bring out the skirts and tee shirts, combinding the two items accessorised with a black belt creates one whole outfit. Add a few pearl necklaces and bracelets giving the look a more classqiue appeal. The matching laced up shoes adds to the pink and black colour palette, great way of colour blocking with contrasting bold colours.
I love the pics!!! And the blog name is awesome!

This has been the longest five days of my life. TGIF, and we got the Breakfast Links to get it started!
The Houston Dynamo are looking to keep their momentum as they get back home to face off the San Jose Earthquakes this weekend. Matias Almeyda's side is currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference, but that can be misleading. The match will be played at PNC Stadium, Saturday night at 7:30 PM CT. Come out and support, Houston!
The Houston Dash are in the middle of an international break. Thi is som much needed time off for the team after taking tough losses in their last two matches in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup. However, a handful of the ladies will be representing their country during 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers. The Dash will be back in action a week from now against Kansas City Current on April 15th.
Houston Dynamo 2 are currently on a hot streak but they will be tested in their first road match against Sporting KC II. The match will take place at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kansas at 6:00 PM. Can the boys come back with points away from home?
Make sure you check out the latest episodes of the Dynamo Theory Podcast, available everywhere you get you podcasts.
El Tráfico is what the national media is talking about looking into the weekend. Finally, after two years, we will see Chicharito vs Vela. Who will be kings of Los Angeles?
Orlando City will be without their star center back Antonio Carlos for 12-16 weeks. He suffered a high hamstring injury, the club announced that surgery will not be required at this time.
Seattle Sounders got the best of New York City FC in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal fixture. The CCL final is set to be another MLS vs LigaMX showdown, and we will learn next week who will be representing MLS.
The race for the EPL is getting tight after it seemed that Manchester City was running with the league a couple months back. Liverpool is only one point away for the Citizens and a lot will be at stake as they face each other this weekend.
Barcelona rallied for a draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League quarterfinal first leg. West Ham also drew against Lyon, while playing with 10 men for the entire second half of the match.
Ricardo Pepi and Augsburg will be facing off against top of the table, Bayern Munich. Pepi hasn't scored for either club and country in almost 6 months. Has the Pepi Hype Train run out of steam?

Several different system configurations can be enabled directly, with user-defined configurations also being available if required.
The Sprinter is available as a complete system with case, etc. or as a board that can be fitted to your own case. For a full review of the Sprinter, and an interview with the designers, please read the second issue of ZXF magazine. Several forums, introductory, FAQ and reference documents are available from the Peters Plus web site.
Based on a design by Andrew Owen, this is a full replacement for the original ZX Spectrum, initially designed around Timex TC2048 hardware, and fully compatible with the ZXVGS Operating System.
