Q&A: Economist Impact's Martin Koehring discusses whether the UK is ready for the EV transition
The rEV Index will be updated annually. Image: Getty.
Released in September, the rEV Index from Economist Impact and sponsored by bp is designed to highlight and quantitively assess how prepared different regions and nations are for the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
It includes 23 indicators across eight pillars, covering aspects such as affordability, purchase incentives and consumer sentiment. The rEV Index looked at nine of the best performing countries in terms of readiness, with the UK coming in seventh with an overall score of 39.9.
Current± sat down with Martin Koehring, senior manager for sustainability, climate change and natural resources at Economist Impact to discuss just how ready the UK is to transition to EVs.
How much progress has UK made already? And how did of quantify in the very first iteration of the report?
We really are keen to highlight that the UK actually made great progress. First of all, just looking at the fact that between 2019 and 2020, the overall sale of cars went down by 60% with the pandemic. But also, if you look at the EV market it actually grew over 40%. So there's clearly this momentum that has persisted. It's really important to highlight that there's lots of progress, for example the availability of chargers as well as in terms of policies and incentives.
But there are two areas in particular where the UK really lags behind, and that is the affordability. So if we look at the cost of buying and running an EV in the UK, it's about 1.3 times the cost of running a conventional car over a three year period . And in countries like Norway, for example, EVs are already cheaper to run over three years given the tax benefits and these kind of things.
So the short term costs of switching to EVs is not competitive in the UK compared to other countries. Almost 60% of British consumers identified the price as the key factor that prevents them from doing the switch to EVs.
And the other big factor is the charging infrastructure. And that is not so much as I said, the number of chargers, because there are over 25,000 charge points in the UK, that is equivalent to six for every 100 kilometres of road network. In London the charging density is actually over 30 times higher than this average. So clearly, some areas within the UK such as London, Scotland, are doing better, but what really is required is the right speed for the right need.
But the UK doesn't really do ultra-fast chargers, which are required. So the number of charge points is good, but if we look at the speed, it's clearly not there, I think it was something like less than 5% of chargers in the UK of a speed above 100kW. And that's far less than, for example, in Germany where it is 12%, or China where it is 35%. So clearly, these are the key areas where the UK lags behind.
Do you think the network operators in the UK are moving fast enough to expand capacity?
If you look at the indicators for energy, the UK is kind of average in that score. In terms of grid headroom, the UK isn't doing that well. There's a lot of opportunity to expand, but actually renewable energy generation is pretty good.
So it's not necessarily just generation itself. It's more you providing the grid headroom is ultimately whether UK lags. So there's still a lot of potential in that space, but definitely vehicle to grid (V2G) is one way of making that transition easier.
V2G is something that is really promising - in a study that we did on decarbonisation technologies in cities, we found that V2G technologies are the is the way forward in terms of making sure that electric vehicles are fully integrated into the grid.
If there was one key lesson that you think people should take away from other markets like Norway, that are kind of setting the benchmark to push EV readiness in the UK, what would that one key lesson be?
I think is that element of consistency. Norway is a good example of having consistently pushed that message. They started in 1990 and they have consistently promoted EVs through road tax, which was lowered in the early 2000s. They removed the charges for toll roads, they offered free parking in some municipal car parks, so really nudging consumers, and on some of those fronts, particularly in some areas in the UK there's a lot of opportunity to expand on these kind of measures.
I was speaking with a behavioural scientist the other day, and it's important to look at these kinds of things, in terms of connecting the economic and policy elements with the element of how people make decisions. And the behavioural scientist was telling me that the kind of things you need to do is make it easy for consumers, you need to signpost what to do in a way that is linked to the easiness factor. But signposting is about consistency and persistence, and those are areas where Norway has done this.
Do you think local authorities and government are starting to realise the needs for greater levels of coordination and cooperation to really have the breadth of coverage for EVs that is needed?
Yeah, that's definitely one of the findings. And when we looked at what the solution could be for the UK, it's making sure that this wide disparity is kind of reduced.
People are not just in one area, people travel and if there's inconsistent messaging between the local authorities that's an issue. If there's a huge disparity between London and just outside London and also within London, which we looked at for example, central London gets a much higher score than even outer North London. So even within regions in the UK, there's such a huge disparity and there needs to be more coordination, the signposting and the incentives needs to be aligned, and there definitely needs to be more talking at that level, and the central government also has a role to play in facilitating that dialogue.

Abode Services' mission is to end homelessness by assisting low-income, un-housed people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing; and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness.
Abode Services currently provides a full array of wrap-around resident services to 16 permanent supportive housing communities in the Bay Area. The supportive services provided by Abode for permanent supportive households enable the residents to achieve their goals and support them to remain stably housed.
Rapid Re-housing
Rapid re-housing provides short-term rental assistance and services with the goal of helping people obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency, and stay housed. Resources and services provided are typically tailored to the needs of the person. Rapid re-housing has proven to be effective in keeping formerly homeless people in newfound permanent housing. Once in a home, they are in a better position to address the issues that may have led to their homelessness, such as gaining employment or facing substance abuse challenges. In the most recent fiscal year, 97 percent of households housed through rapid re-housing programs exited to permanent housing.
Oakland PATH Re-Housing Initiative (OPRI)
This supportive housing program provides rental assistance, housing placement, ongoing subsidies, and supportive services for extremely vulnerable groups in Oakland, including older adults and people exiting the criminal justice system.
Project Independence
This homelessness-prevention program is for young adults exiting the foster care system.
HOPE Project Mobile Health Clinic
The HOPE Project Mobile Health Clinic, our partnership with Tri-City Health Center, provides health and social services to homeless people in southern and eastern Alameda County.
This partnership of local shelters in Alameda County works to help families gain access to employment support and housing.
Abode Services' Housing and Supportive Services Programs
Abode Services is the largest homeless housing and services provider in the Bay Area. As part of our growth in response to the region's housing and homelessness crisis, we now operate nearly 60 programs that aim to rehouse people in need as quickly as possible. The combination of housing programs and wraparound social services forms the core of our approach to ending homelessness.
Abode's social services department coordinates health and supportive services for participants in the shelter and supportive housing programs, offering comprehensive on-site assistance. Abode has also cultivated strong relationships with more than 40 local service providers to connect participants to additional services. The on-site services that we provide at housing sites include job training, parenting classes, financial literacy, computer training, case management, health education, and activities, and many others.
Abode Services operates nearly 60 primary programs across five counties and has experienced dramatic growth in response to the increasing need for affordable housing and services for homeless people. As a Housing First agency, our programs — from street-level outreach to permanent supportive housing — are designed to connect participants to housing as quickly as possible.
Listed in the agency's Guidestar profile are just a few of the programs Abode administers in pursuit of our mission to end homelessness.

Goals & Strategy
Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Abode Services was founded in Alameda County in 1989, when a small group of people came together to address the growing problem of homelessness in the Tri-City Area.
Since then, Abode Services has expanded its impact throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, serving more than 10,500 people each year in Alameda, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Napa counties.
Abode Services develops and implements innovative programs to end homelessness. The agency is built on the principles of Housing First, a proven approach that has yielded far superior results than those of past strategies for ending homelessness. Abode Services' results show how effective its work has been at ending homelessness for vulnerable children and adults in our community.
Abode Services remains highly dedicated to measuring its progress and reporting those results to the community. Below are key statistics that illustrate the real impact Abode is having on ending homelessness.
By 2025, Abode Services seeks to double its impact.
Since 2010, Abode has placed 13,928 individuals into permanent housing and expanded its efforts into six Bay Area counties: Alameda, Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, and Napa.
During the 2020 fiscal year:
-Abode Services assisted 10,531 adults and children in our programs.
-The agency's housing programs served 5,867 people on a given night, providing safe, stable homes to those who would otherwise be homeless or at severe risk of losing their housing.
-The agency served more than 800 veterans.
-Abode Services' programs helped more than 2,300 children.
-Finally, more than 1,650 people in its programs exited into permanent housing.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1.) Re-house homeless people as quickly as possible.:
People who are homeless, for even a few days, are at significant risk for illness and psychological trauma. To reduce the time that people are homeless or in any housing crisis, Abode Services provides multiple programs built on a rapid re-housing model, in which a family is able to sign their own lease just a few days after being referred to the program.
2.) Provide supportive housing for people who are homeless:
Abode Services provides permanent and transitional housing subsidies through more than 30 different programs at scattered-site housing developments throughout the San Francisco Bay Area Counties it serves. The breadth of programs and sites allows the agency the flexibility to connect families and individuals with housing types and locations that suit them.
3.) Abode Services has relied on its supportive housing development entity, Allied Housing, to build new homes and convert existing buildings into housing sites that provide a home and services for those in need.
The agency's list of supportive housing developments is growing. Abode Services has broken ground on Calabazas Community Apartments in the city of Santa Clara. Calabazas will feature 145 studio homes and is expected to open in 2021. Likewise, City Center Apartments, a 60-unit veteran-focused development in Fremont, will start construction in 2020 and open in 2021. Laguna Commons, a Fremont supportive housing community that rehouses veterans and others who have experienced homelessness, was co-developed by Abode and opened in 2016.
4.) Provide specialized services for our participants to promote their well-being, increase their self-sufficiency, and help them stay housed:
Abode Services delivers flexible services for participants in its programs to support stability and independence. The services include primary and mental health care, financial literacy training, vocational counseling, employment services, and child care assistance. One population hit particularly hard by homelessness is young children. For families with children, the agency provides special support to encourage resilience after homelessness and enhance the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of both children and parents. These supportive services include school enrichment programming, parenting skills classes, health screenings, and connection to benefits and resources.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Abode Services has developed an outstanding pool of human, financial and material resources that enables the agency to accomplish its goals and objectives. These resources include:
• A highly engaged and committed Board of Directors active in fundraising and advocacy.
• Visionary, talented and respected staff with a track record of accomplishment and innovation.
• Strong collaborative partnerships with public agencies and non-profit organizations that leverage program resources and keep costs manageable.
• Top rating for sound fiscal policies. Abode Services has been awarded Charity Navigator's top four-star rating for fourteen consecutive years and is part of just 1 percent of rated agencies to have won this distinction for the same amount of time.
• Diverse funding streams that include government agencies, private and community foundations, corporations, individuals, local businesses, churches, and service organizations.
• Broad annual volunteer support that includes more than 1,200 people from more than 50 businesses, churches, and community groups.
• Appropriate facilities to support multiple programs, including offices in strategic locations throughout six counties that allow Abode Services to provide services in the most cost-effective way possible.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
On a typical night, 2,200 people sleep in a home, instead of being homeless because of Abode Services. Since 2010, we have ended homelessness for almost 13,928 households.
The outcomes demonstrate that Abode Services is reaching its long-term goals to end homeless by meeting its primary objective to provide sustainable, supportive housing for people with the greatest needs. The agency has learned that its housing strategies are successful in preventing and ending homelessness in the communities served.
How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here's how this organization is listening.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.
How is your organization collecting feedback from the people you serve?
Electronic surveys (by email, tablet, etc.), Paper surveys, Focus groups or interviews (by phone or in person), Case management notes, Community meetings/Town halls, Constituent (client or resident, etc.) advisory committees, Suggestion box/email,
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?
To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve,
What significant change resulted from feedback?
An example of the agency's powerful data, in collaboration with local police and hospital data, was showcased when the County of Santa Clara launched California's first Pay for Success (PFS) project in partnership with Abode Services. The project provides a combination of housing and supportive services (permanent supportive housing) to chronically homeless individuals who are frequent users of the county's emergency rooms, emergency psychiatric facilities, and jail. Through the system, Abode Services staff are able to identify if the participants in the program are checking into hospitals or other treatment settings. The process allows for greater communications between systems and a higher level of coordinated care.
With whom is the organization sharing feedback?
The people we serve, Our staff, Our board, Our funders, Our community partners,
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

A new type of video game; highly addictive; many options in units and equipment.
Some may be turned off by the fact that you don't actually do much playing in it.
After spending a bunch of time playing the Pocket Kingdom beta, I can say with all confidence that this is a one-of-a-kind game. How often do you get to hear that in this day and age of me-too copycats and uninspired sequels? PK is at the same time the most laid back and the most frantic digital experience. It's the perfect game for chilling in a waiting room or on the bus, but you may end up drawing some glances when you wince or cheer from the actions of your squad.
The odd thing about Pocket Kingdom -- well, one of the odder things -- is that there's essentially no gameplay. I'm not talking about tactical RPGs where you just dish out the orders. I mean that once you're engaged in combat, you have zero control. At that point, you just have to hope you prepared your crew to own the competition, and cheerlead as best you can. With no gameplay, that means that it's all about what you do between fights.
Of course I won. I'm a major OMGWTFBBQ or something!
The first order of business is crafting a few four-person regiments with stars in their eyes. One needs to be designated the defensive team, garrisoned to your own kingdom, or you'll be defenseless to attacks -- not a good thing. Your other party/parties are responsible for carving their way through the land. You'll want to place the attack classes up front where they can do the most damage, and then keep projectile-firing types or archers at the back. When forming groups, you can designate each character's battle tendencies -- staying in the front lines, focusing on the highest-ranking opponent, etc. You also have the ability to give one of four orders to the party in general -- whether you want them to be fierce attackers, cautiously defensive, evasion-minded for longer skirmishes, or you'd prefer to have them lay the special moves on thick. For defensive parties, you can also choose a special technique to give them the advantage over hostile crews, ranging from putting everyone to sleep to dropping them from the ceiling at the battle's start.
At first, you can only buy soldiers and nobles. New units trickle in as you move onto new areas of the world, but the real way to get different classes is by combining items -- won in battle or bought -- to make emblems. These will change your noble into a feared necromancer, or make your simple soldier a long-distance archer. Combining items can also craft new equipment -- of which each character can equip one. Pick a weapon or armor base, add the metal ore, then sprinkle in an extra item or two to boost its effectiveness. You can see the potential result before going through with it. Just be careful with your rarest items, because there is a chance that the combination will fail.

Uv Nail Light Walmart
Walmart Inc. is an American multinational retail company that owns a chain of discount department stores, hypermarkets, and grocery stores. Walmart is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. Walmart Inc. was founded in 1971 and has more than 60,000 employees. It is one of the largest private companies in the world. Walmart Inc. has been a household name for more than 50 years. Walmart is well-known worldwide, but the stores of the company are often called "Supercenters".
Walmart's ethical practices, employee treatment and pay are the major issues surrounding it. Employees of the company earn low wages and don't make enough to support a family. The company's employees are under government social service programs, and its executives are paid astronomical annual salaries. Despite its negative reputation, Walmart remains the world's largest retailer. And the company's long-term success should be a cause for concern for any consumer.
In 1962, Sam Walton opened the first Walmart store in Rogers, Ark. Walmart has had a profound influence on American consumer behavior, despite its humble beginnings. The company is owned by the Walton family, which has a combined net worth of over $238 billion. Today, Walmart is the largest grocery retailer in the US. The Walton family holds over half of the company. The Walmart stock is worth $4 billion. The company has been exposed to increased competition from online retailers such as Amazon.
Walmart's impact on the economy has been well documented. While its success has made the company one of the most successful retail companies in the world, it has also been criticized for contributing to urban sprawl and perpetuating low wages. Walmart employees earn less than the average retail employee because of its anti-union stance. The company's positive impact on the economy has also inspired other retailers to copy their business model. So, the question is: What's the impact of Walmart on local businesses?
The benefits of Walmart Plus membership are endless. You can get free same-day delivery for purchases over $35. The minimum for joining Walmart Plus is waived until December 4, 2020. Walmart+ Weekend will be launched the same week. Exclusive discounts will be offered to members at selected stores. The program is similar in concept to Amazon Prime Day but has a few additional features. If you're a frequent Walmart customer, Walmart Plus could be the perfect way to stay ahead of Amazon's e-commerce revolution.
Despite Amazon's growing reach, Walmart is still the largest retailer in the world, and will remain one of the biggest players for many years to come. With thousands of convenient hypermarkets across the country, Walmart is well positioned to leverage its loyal customer base to stay competitive. Walmart will remain the number one shopping destination for shoppers, even if it isn't already. It's difficult to imagine a world without Walmart. The retail industry will be very interesting over the next few years. So, stay tuned and watch this competition.
Walmart also has discount stores. Discount stores are smaller versions of Walmart Supercenters. These stores have fewer associates but sell groceries and merchandise. Walmart Neighborhood Markets can be found in areas of approximately 38,000 square feet and have up to 95 associates. In addition to groceries, these stores also carry a pharmacy. A variety of products are available at discount prices, including electronics, toys, and health and beauty aids.
In addition to a regular membership, Walmart offers a subscription service called Walmart Plus. Walmart Plus subscribers get unlimited shipping and delivery, early access to Black Friday deals, as well as discounts at partner gas stations.

Radiation shielding
Journal Masthead
of Space Operations
From the Editor-in-Chief
Journal of Space Operations & Communicator, a quarterly online publication, serves as a forum for those involved in the space operations field to communicate with one another, share ideas and information that improve the way operations are carried out in space. The Journal is a crossdisciplinary scholarly publication designed to advance space communication as a profession and as an academic discipline. The Journal is distributed electronically without charge to users on a global basis. JSOC contains peer-reviewed articles, comments and case notes written by leading scientists, professors, and practitioners in their respective fields of aerospace expertise. The editorial board seeks articles that demonstrate exemplary academic research of emerging trends in space technology and space operations fields.
The editorial board would like to wish all in our community a most informative, successful New Year 2023 full of vitality and good health. We all were fortunate to witness several milestones in the space industry: (1) Multiple successful Space X cargo deliveries to the International Space Station, (2) Two successful space tourism events by private space entrepreneurs Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin, and (3)Tthe most recent NASA's unscrewed lunar –orbiting Artemis 1 mission with main the objective to test the Orion spacecraft, especially its heat shield. The New Year 2023 portends to be a memorable in space program milestones, as well.
In review of the Journal articles last year, as we considered safety management of space missions, space weather radiation was determined one of its major threats. Due to the protective magnetosphere, life on Earth and much of lower orbital operations of satellite and space station activities remain unaffected. This issue continues the discussion. On the Radiation Shielding of Autonomous Spacecraft Intended for Artemis Camp Development investigates relevant strategies what the Artemis or any lunar program needs to consider in space weather for a successful mission. The author spoke on the topic in two previous AIAA conferences (ASCEND 2022 and Materials Research Society 2022 Conference) and will again in 2023 at AIAA's Sci Tech Conference. AIAA community outreach extends to K-12 students. And, the Journal includes a case demonstration "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics —Teaching Space Weather Studies" that was presented at the Fall 2022 Meeting of the Chesapeake Section of American Association of Physics Teachers.
Hopefully, you will find this issue informative and worthwhile reading.

An ambiguity between adaptation and transformation hangs over this large exhibition.
DETROIT — Located in Midtown Detroit, today a cultural hub praised by some as an exemplar of urban renewal, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit fleshes out the skeleton of American manufacturing. The museum's current site opened in 2006, occupying a former industrial building erected in the 1920s to house a Dodge showroom. Endeavoring to reflect this past moment and subsequent evolution of the structure, the MOCAD redesign is a kind of temporal composite, in which new elements articulate with original floor tiling and walls of exposed brick and concrete, crudely patched up during many former alterations.
What more symbolically fitting place, then, to host Useless Utility, an exhibition of recent work by six artists based in Detroit and the surrounding area corralled around the topic of art production in a post-industrial time. Detroit sits on the southeast border of Michigan, one of the regions of the Rust Belt hit hardest by deindustrialization. During the 2000s, the collapse of the state's manufacturing base swiftly halved employment in the sector; nearly 450,000 jobs vanished. Such seismic economic upheavals disrupt not only people's financial livelihood, but they just as forcefully upend people's social relationships and self-identities forged in relation to the idea of work. These latter consequences seem to be the crux of the exhibition's inquiry.
Southeast Michigan is a place structurally and culturally shaped by its historically broad manufacturing base, and which in turn defined itself through its material output. A desire to reconcile with this past is suggested in the attention to material that suffuses so many of the exhibited works. In the paintings of James Benjamin Franklin, the everyday material environment of the artist fuses with his work. In the piece titled "Dreams and Demons" (2019), a rug, a jute trivet, some towels, and other scraps of fabric populate the picture plane, encrusted beneath a painted field of bright, inorganic hues. The overall look exudes an improvised bricolage aesthetic.
Iris Eichenberg uses polymer clay for its dual association with both industrial production and craft-making. For "Setting the Table" (2011), the artist implanted two bowls fashioned from this material into a white gallery wall. The resulting rounded, terracotta-hued craters are unlike the more brutal structural interventions of Anish Kapoor's hole ("Descent into Limbo," 1992) or Doug Aitken's pool ("Sonic Fountain," 2013), in that they feel modestly provisional. At the end of the exhibition's run, the bowls will be extracted and the gallery wall mended. The works are knowingly made for a situation that is transitional and contingent.
Still other works take on mass-market products. One among several instances in the show touching on racial dynamics, Tyanna Buie's "Between a Comb and a Rough Place" (2019) consists of a pile of porcelain mold replicas of the hot comb, a hair tool invented by a Frenchman and later marketed to and popularized among African-American women to straighten their tresses. Osman Khan's sculptures are, by contrast, fashioned directly from mass-produced chairs sold at Ikea and Target. Based on the premise of a resource shortage, Khan applied the absurd solution of removing discrete functional elements: one chair has lost an anterior leg, another the cross rails integral to back support. I can imagine these aberrant structures inhabiting a dystopian narrative, the comical outcome of late capitalism's market logic and environmental destruction. Yet, as unwieldly structures that jolt the body from its customary interactions with objects, perhaps they also stand for a hopeful paradigm shift in our material relations.
This very ambiguity between adaptation and transformation hangs over the larger exhibition. The former is evolutionary, the latter revolutionary. In the improvised, provisional and bricolage aesthetic that characterizes the bulk of the selected works, I cannot help but posit a connection to neoliberal capitalism's creation of ever more precarious, contingent labor, ever more flexible, resourceful citizenry. Are these works expressions of imposed adaptation to a persisting system, or in fact experimental modes of working in new ones? This is a question inevitably raised, but left unanswered, by this exhibition.
Useless Utility, curated by Jova Lynne, Ford Foundation Curatorial Fellow at MOCAD, continues at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit through April 21.

LANSING — A 62-foot-tall spruce tree from Alpena has been selected to be the official state Christmas tree on the Michigan Capitol lawn this year.
The tree was donated by Mike and Shelly Katto and will be transported to the Capitol for placement during the holiday season on Oct. 25.
The spruce is the 10th tree to come from the Lower Peninsula and the second state tree to come from Alpena County, the Department of Technology, Management and Budget said in a news release.
The last time the tree came from Alpena was in 1989 and it was donated by the family of Robert and Marion Seguin.
The tree will be harvested on Oct. 25, and delivered to Lansing with help from several timber and trucking organizations.
There will be no cost to the state.
Once the tree arrives at the Capitol, Boy Scout Troops 109 and 125 will be on hand to untie the tree. The Hi-Ball Co. of Lansing will provide a crane and crew to set the tree at the intersection of Capitol and East Michigan avenues.
The tree lighting will take place on Nov. 16, at approximately 7:45 p.m., as part of the 34th annual Silver Bells in the City celebration.

Russia-led troops deploy as Kazakhstan boils
By Muslim Kashmir on January 7, 2022 No Comment
ALMATY: Bursts of gunfire echoed through the streets of Kazakhstan's largest city on Thursday as Moscow-led troops arrived to help quell mass unrest that left dozens dead and hundreds detained.
Fighting in Almaty continued a day after protesters stormed several government buildings, with a correspondent hearing regular eruptions of gunfire from the direction of a central square.
Local media reports said security forces had cleared demonstrators from the square and other key government buildings, but there were also reports of gunfire elsewhere in the city.
The first units of Russian forces from a Moscow-led peacekeeping force had meanwhile arrived in Kazakhstan, the Russian defence ministry said, after the Kazakh government appealed for help.
Long seen as one the most stable of the ex-Soviet republics of Central Asia, energy-rich Kazakhstan is facing its biggest crisis in decades after days of protests over rising fuel prices escalated into widespread unrest.
Armed protesters have fought running battles with government forces, with officials saying 748 security officers have been wounded and 18 killed, including two who had their heads cut off.
Burnt-out vehicles littered Almaty's streets, several government buildings were in ruins and bullet casings were strewn over the grounds of the presidential residence, which was stormed and looted by protesters on Wednesday.
"I didn't know our people could be so terrifying," Samal, a 29-year-old nursery-school teacher, said near the residence.
Under increasing pressure, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev appealed overnight to the Russia-dominated Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), which includes five other ex-Soviet states, to combat what he called "terrorist groups" that had "received extensive training abroad".
Within hours the alliance said the first troops had been sent — including Russian paratroopers and military units from the other CSTO members — in its first major joint action since its founding in 1999.
"Peacekeeping forces… were sent to the Republic of Kazakhstan for a limited time to stabilise and normalise the situation," the CSTO said in a statement, without specifying the number of troops involved.
The Russian foreign ministry said it saw the unrest as "an attempt inspired from outside to undermine the security and integrity" of Kazakhstan.
In the worst reported violence so far, police said dozens of people were "eliminated" in overnight battles with security forces at government buildings in Almaty. The interior ministry said police had "moved forward to clear the streets" and detained about 2,300 people so far.
Officials said more than 1,000 people had been wounded in the unrest, with nearly 400 admitted to hospital and 62 in intensive care.
Protests spread across the nation of 19 million this week in outrage over a New Year increase in prices for liquid petroleum gas (LPG), which is widely used to fuel cars in the west of the country.
Thousands took to the streets in Almaty and in the western province of Mangystau, saying the price rise was unfair given oil and gas exporter Kazakhstan's vast energy reserves.
The full picture of the chaos was unclear, with widespread disruptions to communications including mobile phone signals, the blocking of online messengers and hours-long internet shutdowns.
The protests are the biggest threat so far to the regime established by Kazakhstan's founding president Nursultan Nazarbayev, who stepped down in 2019 and hand-picked Tokayev as his successor.

Lisa J. Graumlich ( GROM -lik; Toledo, Ohio, 1959) es un paleoclimatóloga estadounidense que estudia las interacciones entre el clima, los ecosistemas y los seres humanos. Es la decana inaugural de la Facultad de Medio Ambiente de la Universidad de Washington. Graumlich es miembro de la Asociación Estadounidense para el Avance de la Ciencia y la Sociedad Ecológica de América, y es presidenta electa de la Unión Geofísica Estadounidense.

Educación y carrera temprana
Graumlich es de Toledo, Ohio. Estudió Botánica en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, donde obtuvo una licenciatura en 1975 y una maestría en Geografía. Obtuvo un doctorado en 1985 de Forest Resources en la Universidad de Washington. Graumlich trabajó con Margaret Davis como becaria posdoctoral en la Universidad de Minnesota en 1986. Se unió a la Unión Americana de Geofísica en 1992.

Investigación
Graumlich fue pionera en el uso de la dendrocronología para comprender los impactos del cambio climático en los ecosistemas de montaña. Su carrera académica comenzó en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles como profesora asistente en el Departamento de Geografía. Mientras estaba en la UCLA, inició una serie de estudios en Sierra Nevada para estudiar los pinos cola de zorra que continuó cuando se unió al Laboratorio de Investigación de Anillos de Árboles en la Universidad de Arizona.

El trabajo de Graumlich ha variado desde un examen del impacto del dióxido de carbono en el crecimiento de árboles subalpinos hasta una reconstrucción de la temperatura y precipitación de la Sierra Nevada de hace 1000 años. Graumlich descubrió que entre el 1000 y 1375 hubo altas temperaturas de manera constante, una de las expresiones importantes de la llamada Anomalía del Clima Medieval en California. En colaboración con la Profesora Andrea Lloyd en Middlebury College, Graumlich documentó 1000 años de cambios en la línea de árboles en Sierra Nevada, y señaló que la respuesta de las líneas de árboles de gran altura al calentamiento global dependerá del suministro de agua. Junto con el profesor Andy Bunn de la Western Washington University, pudo refinar el papel fundamental de la topografía en la mediación de las relaciones temperatura-crecimiento en los bosques de gran altitud. El registro paleoclimático pone en contexto el siglo XX. Por ejemplo, descubrió que entre 1937 y 1986 el Oeste de Estados Unidos experimentó un clima significativamente húmedo. El tiempo se corresponde con los mejores años de inmigración a los estados 'dorados'.

Graumlich y el profesor Paul Sheppard, de la Universidad de Arizona, fueron los primeros científicos norteamericanos en colaborar con científicos chinos de anillos de árboles para establecer registros a largo plazo de la variabilidad climática en el oeste de China. El análisis de núcleos de enebros antiguos y madera arqueológica reveló años relativamente secos durante 74-25 a. C, 51-375 dC, 426-500, 526-575, 626-700, 1100-1225, 1251-1325, 1451-1525, 1651 –1750 y 1801–1825. Los períodos con un clima relativamente húmedo ocurrieron durante los años 376–425, 576–625, 951–1050, 1351–1375, 1551–1600 y el presente. Una característica clave del registro de precipitaciones es una relación aparentemente directa entre la variabilidad interanual de las precipitaciones y la temperatura, por lo que un mayor calentamiento en el futuro podría provocar un aumento de las inundaciones y las sequías.

Como reflejo de su compromiso con la investigación y el aprendizaje interdisciplinario, Graumlich fue nombrada directora inaugural del Instituto para el Estudio del Planeta Tierra en la Universidad de Arizona. Graumlich se mudó a la Universidad Estatal de Montana en 1998, donde se desempeñó como directora del Mountain Research Center y directora ejecutiva del Big Sky Institute. Mientras estaba en MSU, continuó su investigación sobre los anillos de árboles mientras ampliaba su trabajo para incorporar de manera más explícita las interacciones humanas. En 2006 publicó Sustainability or Collapse? Una historia integrada y el futuro de las personas en la Tierra con MIT Press. El libro cubrió la civilización Maya, el Imperio Romano y El Niño.

En 2007, Graumlich regresó a la Universidad de Arizona para dirigir la Escuela de Recursos Naturales y Medio Ambiente. Su investigación se concentró en el cambio climático y la gestión de los recursos naturales, en particular las sequías graves y persistentes. Continuó enfocándose en los impactos de las sequías severas y persistentes en el oeste de los Estados Unidos, incluyendo estudios de mortalidad de árboles a gran escala.

Graumlich fue nombrado decano inaugural de la Facultad de Medio Ambiente de la Universidad de Washington Es profesora "Mary Laird Wood" en la Universidad de Washington. Aquí ha nombrado a Sally Jewell como miembro distinguido de la Facultad de Medio Ambiente y presidenta del consejo asesor de EarthLab.

En 2010, testificó ante el Comité Selecto de Representantes de la Cámara de los Estados Unidos sobre Independencia Energética y Calentamiento Global. Presentó evidencia de datos de anillos de árboles que demostraron que a fines del siglo XX el mundo era el más cálido que había sido durante los últimos 1000 años. Formó parte del panel de investigación de Lord Oxburgh que estudió la controversia por correo electrónico de la Unidad de Investigación Climática con la Universidad de East Anglia. Ha escrito para el Huffington Post. En 2017 fue elegida miembro de la junta directiva de la Union Americana de Geofísica.

Graumlich ha estado comprometida toda su carrera con el aumento de la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión en STEM. En la Universidad de Washington, trabaja con la Iniciativa de Raza y Equidad del Presidente para mejorar la cultura académica y combatir el racismo y las inequidades, tanto individuales como institucionales, que persisten en el mundo académico y en toda nuestra sociedad. Graumlich es activa sobre la necesidad de acoger y apoyar a los científicos y estudiantes LGBTQIA, y es miembro de 500 Queer Scientists.

Premios

 2004 Miembro de la Asociación Estadounidense para el Avance de la Ciencia
 2013 Miembro de la Sociedad Ecológica de América

Vida personal
Graumlich vive en Seattle con su esposa, quien es matemática, y sus dos hijas. En Seattle, es miembro de la junta directiva del Woodland Park Zoo  y del Seattle Aquarium.

An American Cage follows Danny and his two escape partners over a twenty-four-hour period as they struggle to cross Texas to freedom in Mexico. On this dangerous journey, Danny has to evade the rabid Texas authorities, and even worse, the schemes of one of his closest allies, who isn't who he seems.
The second novel by Amazon #1 bestselling author and multi-award winner Ted Galdi, this psychological thriller is packed with suspense, twists, and grit, all while having heart. The story follows its young male protagonist on a journey of self-discovery and redemption as he weaves through a rocky landscape of family issues, guilt, betrayal, and questions about the nature of good and evil.
Along the way, he encounters an eclectic supporting cast, including a renowned psychology professor, a car thief, a young female hitchhiker, the leader of a biker gang, and a small-town Texas police officer with big ambitions.
Featuring vivid descriptions of East Texas's Piney Woods, Austin, and El Paso, a cinematic unfolding of action, and an examination of existential philosophical concepts, An American Cage would be a pleasing read for fans of literary thrillers as well as commercial thrillers.
The book has echoes of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, in addition to the crime fiction of upmarket writers like Dennis Lehane and George Pelecanos.
Thrillers, psychological thrillers, are fast becoming a favorite of mine to read. There is something about reading a book and being kept on the edge of your seat. So when I came across An American Cage on NetGalley, I felt a pull towards it. I don't know if it was the cover or the blurb, something about it said: "Read me". So I did and I liked it. The only issue that I had is something that the author had no control over. The book didn't load right on my Kindle. I could not tell when chapters ended and even when the book switched to different characters. It made for a very frustrating read on my end. I took longer reading An American Cage because I had to reread chapters.
An American Cage starts with the prison break of 3 inmates: Danny, Monty, and Phil. The book follows the trio as they break out of prison. Of course, as it will happen, things do not go their way. Danny is asked to fund their trip to Mexico and has to ask his parents for the money. On his journey to his parent's house, Danny is confronted with truths about Phil that he didn't see coming. He also is forced to come to terms with the crime he committed. The only thing is, will he be able to do the right thing when given the chance? Also, will he be able to forgive himself for the crime that he committed?
Danny drove me nuts at the beginning of the book. I did enjoy reading how his character basically grew up during that prison escape. I say that Danny drove me nuts because he idolized Phil. Believing the outrageous lies that Phil told. As the story went on, Danny grew on me. I saw him as a spoiled child who did something that he couldn't comprehend. He was so terrified in prison that he was willing to believe and do anything to be accepted. Which is why he fell to Phil's manipulations. I loved seeing his gradual awakening to Phil's real personality and agenda. I liked seeing his acceptance that he did something bad but he wasn't a bad person. I also liked that he also saw that he was able to forgive himself for what happened. Also, that he was able to see what his father did was out of love and not spite was a huge thing also.
An American Cage is a true psychological thriller. This book kept me on edge the entire book. Characters were not who they seemed, for good and bad. When I book can make me jump from chapter to chapter, that is a good thing.
The end of the book did feel a bit rushed too me. All the storylines were wrapped up and ended in a way that satisfied me as a reader. The only storyline that didn't please me was Monty's. I felt that more should have been made of what happened to him after everything went down. Other than that, the ending was good.
I enjoyed reading An American Cage. It did a good job pulling me in and keeping me pulled into the book. I liked seeing the characters' growth (and in one case, the character regressed). The plotline was good. The characters were also very fleshed out.
I would like to thank Ted Galdi and Precipice Books for allowing me to read and review An American Cage.

Woman who buried baby she had as a high school cheerleader cleared of murder and manslaughter charges
Prosecutors say she killed her baby. Her lawyers said the baby was stillborn and she panicked.

A 20-year-old woman who was accused of killing the baby she had as a teenager has been cleared of murder and manslaughter charges in Warren County, Ohio.
When she was 18 years old, Brooke Skylar Richardson buried her newborn child, whom she had named Annabelle, in May 2017. In a statement, Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshel said that there was "evidence that the infant whose remains were discovered at the defendant's residence in Carlisle ... was born alive and was not a stillborn baby."
However, Richardson's lawyers insisted that the baby was stillborn and that Richardson buried the baby because she could not think of how else to handle the situation. She had been charged with involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment, aggravated murder, gross abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence.
She was cleared Thursday of all the charges except for gross abuse of a corpse. On Friday, a Warren County judge ordered her to three years probation on the lesser charge of corpse abuse.
According to a news release from the Warren County Sheriff's Office, Richardson was arrested on July 20, 2017.
The Dayton Daily News reported that Richardson's lawyer, Charles M. Rittgers described his client as "by all measures a very good girl who helped children," adding that she was "by all means a very good person."
What's the background?
Richardson had kept the pregnancy a secret because the baby's father was not her boyfriend. Assistant Warren County Prosecutor Steve Knippen also noticed that the same day that Richardson had buried her baby, she texted someone that her "belly is back."
She initially confessed to murder, but her lawyers argued that this confession had been coerced. They said that she was a chronic people pleaser and only told the police what she believed that they wanted her to say. Richardson had also confessed to trying to burn Annabelle's body, something a pathologist had initially suggested and then recanted. Rittgers told the jury that this was "impossible."
Richardson's family has reportedly bought a cemetery plot for Annabelle, although the baby's remains have not yet been released to them. Police had told her in 2017 that they would return Annabelle's body to her if she told the truth.

Q: C# MVC Export from DB to excel . Merge cells I know there are many topics on the issue, but my requirements are more specific.. I'm using EF to select records into my project, and then export them to Excel. I've used This snippet code.
Let me explain what I'm trying to do. Given the following table(It's for simplification, as you will see in the code the table is a bit larger):
Name | Content
 A     "Content1"
 A     "Content2"
 A     "Content3"
 B     "other content"
 ......

When I export to excel, I don't want A to appear 3 times next to each content, I'd like to have only one "A" (which I was able to do) and merge the 3 cells (align them to the center too if possible) into one(without touching the Content column) .
This is my code:
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        var knownCampaigns = _repository.getDataForExport();
        //return View(result);
        string sWebRootFolder = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath;
        string sFileName = @"demo.xlsx";
        string URL = string.Format("{0}://{1}/{2}", Request.Scheme, Request.Host, sFileName);
        FileInfo file = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(sWebRootFolder, sFileName));
        if (file.Exists)
        {
            file.Delete();
            file = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(sWebRootFolder, sFileName));
        }
        using (ExcelPackage package = new ExcelPackage(file))
        {
            // add a new worksheet to the empty workbook
            ExcelWorksheet worksheet = package.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("CampaignMatches");
            //First add the headers
            worksheet.Cells[1, 2].Value = "Customer Name";
            worksheet.Cells[1, 3].Value = "Guid";
            worksheet.Cells[1, 4].Value = "Campaign Title";
            worksheet.Cells[1, 5].Value = "Referrer Title";
            worksheet.Cells[1, 6].Value = "Activity Date";
            worksheet.Cells[1, 7].Value = "Is clicked?";
            int counter = 2;
            string oldGuid = "";
            foreach (var campaign in knownCampaigns)
            {
                if (oldGuid == campaign.Guid || worksheet.Cells["C" + (counter - 1)].Value.ToString() == campaign.Guid)
                {
                    oldGuid = campaign.Guid;
                    worksheet.Cells["A" + counter].Value = "";
                    worksheet.Cells["B" + counter].Value = "";
                }
                else
                {
                    oldGuid = "";
                    worksheet.Cells["A" + counter].Value = campaign.customerName;
                    worksheet.Cells["B" + counter].Value = campaign.Guid;
                }
                worksheet.Cells["C" + counter].Value = campaign.campaignTitle;
                worksheet.Cells["D" + counter].Value = campaign.reffererTitle;
                worksheet.Cells["E" + counter].Value = campaign.activityDate;
                worksheet.Cells["F" + counter].Value = campaign.is_clicked;
                counter++;
            }
            package.Save(); //Save the workbook.

        }
        var result = PhysicalFile(Path.Combine(sWebRootFolder, sFileName), "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
        Response.Headers["Content-Disposition"] = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
        {
            FileName = file.Name
        }.ToString();
        return result;
    }

Right now, my Customer Name and Guid column only appears once as intended, but I don't know how to merge the cells together into one cell.
Image of current output:
[![enter image description here][2]][2]
Image of wanted output:
[![enter image description here][3]][3]

A: It looks like it's not that obvious. Looks like there is an Elements property on worksheet that you can add type of MergedCell.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/how-to-merge-two-adjacent-cells-in-a-spreadsheet

A: If someone will face the same issue, I've managed to solve this using Merge attribute , I had to extract the positions of the start column index, row index and end row index & end column index.
 var Wsc_Guid = worksheet.Cells[startRowIndex, guidIndex, startRowIndex + numOfSameRecords, guidIndex];//Select the correct cells for Guids
 Wsc_Guid.Merge = true;

Mali: Government, Media Join Forces to Search for Missing Journalist
MaliMedia Development
Efforts by journalists in Mali to find their missing colleague have received a major boost with the Prime Minister, Modibo Keita, ordering two ministries to get involved and ensure that the journalist is found.
On January 29, 2016, Birama Touré, a reporter with the investigative weekly, Le Sphinx, reportedly went to visit his extended family in a suburb of the Malian capital, Bamako. At about 7pm, he left his family house for his residence at Sébènikoro, also in Bamako but has not been heard from nor seen since then, and frantic efforts are ongoing to find him.
To demonstrate its support for the search effort, the Prime Minister has ordered the Ministries of Interior and of Communication to get involved and ensure the success of the search mission.
"We are well mobilised for now. The Prime Minister has instructed two of his ministries to do everything possible to find our colleague. Every day, we make contact with the authorities to assess the progress of the search effort," Dramane Aliou Koné president of media development organisation la Maison de la presse (MP), told his colleagues at a press conference on February 17th 2016.
MP, which is MFWA's national partner in Mali, organized the press conference attended by over one hundred media personnel, and a subsequent brainstorming exercise in a bid to intensify and coordinate efforts to find the missing journalist.
Koné said a supporting committee has been created to sustain the sensitisation campaign by publishing regular reports and information on the matter. He also indicated that the MP has secured the services of a lawyer to handle all the legal aspects of the case.
The journalists resolved to maintain the matter of their colleague's disappearance constantly in the headlines and help intensify the search for him.
A banner alerting the public about the disappearance of Toure was also distributed by the MP as part of the campaign to find the missing journalist.

History Greenlights 'The Hatfields And McCoys, An American Vendetta', Kevin Costner To Star And Co-Produce
TV By The Numbers May 24, 2011
via press release:
HISTORY GREENLIGHTS PRODUCTION OF SCRIPTED MINISERIES ABOUT AMERICA'S MOST INFAMOUS FAMILY FEUD
THE HATFIELDS and McCOYS AN AMERICAN VENDETTA
ACADEMY® AWARD WINNER KEVIN COSTNER TO STAR AND CO-PRODUCE
New York, May 25, 2011 – HISTORY announced today that the network has green-lighted production of a new scripted miniseries, THE HATFIELDS AND THE McCOYS, to premiere on HISTORY in 2012, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of America's most infamous family feud. Academy® Award winner Kevin Costner (The Untouchables, Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard and Open Range) will star, playing the role "Devil" Anse Hatfield. The announcement was made by Nancy Dubuc, President & General Manager, HISTORY.
The miniseries, to be produced by Leslie Greif's production company, Thinkfactory Media, and Kevin Costner as producing partner, will chronicle the bloody hostilities between two clans that escalated to the point of near war between two states.
"THE HATFIELDS & McCOYS is a classic tale of American history. These are names that are widely recognized, yet few people know the real story that made them famous. We are thrilled that Kevin Costner, one of the most iconic American actors of our time, will be starring as Devil," Ms. Dubuc said. "At HISTORY, part of our legacy – and indeed one of the reasons we are enjoying such great success right now – is our ability to look at the many stories of history through a contemporary lens. Working with Leslie Greif, I am confident that HISTORY will reacquaint viewers of our generation with this fascinating and timeless saga of courage, sacrifice and family love amid insidious plots and endless intrigue."
"THE HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS has been a passion project of mine for over 20 years, and it was realized the day I met Nancy Dubuc, she made a dream come true when she shared the same enthusiasm and vision for this epic American drama," said Greif. "And then to be privileged and fortunate enough to have a superstar like Kevin Costner as "Devil" is beyond anything I could have imagined. And now thanks to HISTORY, this timeless and iconic tale will finally be told."
Said Mr. Costner: "Everyone knows the legend of the Hatfields-McCoy feud, but few know the true story of what occurred to make the two families become mortal enemies. As an avid history fan, I am thrilled to join with Leslie Greif and HISTORY in this dramatic re-telling of a classic and timeless tale that is forever immersed in the folklore of our country."
The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with Devil Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy. Close friends and comrades during the Civil War, they returned to their neighboring homes — Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky — to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon exploded into all-out warfare between the two families. As hostilities grew, friends, neighbors and outside forces joined the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another Civil War.
Their story also includes: a tempestuous love affair between Hatfield's son and McCoy's daughter, which had disastrous consequences; the execution of McCoy's three young sons in retaliation for the Rasputin-like murder of Hatfield's beloved brother; a New Year's Massacre of the McCoy clan and burning of their home, which also sparked international headlines; a public clash between state governors; and ultimately the involvement of the United States Supreme Court.
Leslie Greif's experience in the feature and scripted TV series space includes creating, writing, directing and producing award-winning and critically acclaimed projects. Greif co-created and executive produced "Walker Texas Ranger." TV movies include "Monday Night Mayhem," starring John Turturro, "Word of Honor" starring Don Johnson, and "Baby for Sale" starring Dana Delaney. Greif also produced "Steve McQueen: The Essence of Cool," and the highly acclaimed and Emmy nominated film "Brando." His feature film credits include "Funny Money," "Keys To Tulsa," "Heaven's Prisoners," and "Meet Wally Sparks."
THE HATFIELDS & THE McCOYS is being produced for HISTORY by Thinkfactory Media. Leslie Greif will serve as an Executive Producer on the project with Herb Nanas and Darrell Fetty producing for Thinkfactory Media. Writer is Ted Mann (Deadwood, Emmy® winner NYPD Blue, Luck. Revisions by Ron Parker (Emmy winner for Broken Trail, Emmy nominated Joan of Arc). Executive Producers for HISTORY are Nancy Dubuc and Dirk Hoogstra.
