Houston's long-term future murky after trading disgruntled James Harden
Seerat Sohi
The last time Victor Oladipo was traded for a disgruntled superstar, he turned into the consolation prize that outshined the trophy, when the Indiana Pacers dealt Paul George for him and Domantas Sabonis (man, what a haul).
Coming off picks, Oladipo was sunshine bursting through an open runway. You didn't know if he'd shoot or pass, which side of the rim he'd finish on or which hand he'd use, whether he'd hang in the air before dumping it off on his way to his first All-Star season.
He developed one of the quickest dribble-to-shot gathers in the NBA, like a hero drawing his weapon in a Western. Every move was a fresh surprise. He didn't just grow. He glistened. He smiled. He sung. He was home. Have you seen him in transition? He was fun.
After a ruptured quad in 2019, he's almost back to his old self, and he's the infusion of energy the Houston Rockets need.
A team with a disgruntled superstar has a mission beyond getting a heavy return: They need to get out of an exhausting situation. If you couldn't see it on rookie head coach Stephen Silas' face when the Lakers punked the Rockets on Tuesday, you could see it in the players. James Harden said more in a 45-second news conference than he had all season, reiterating his desire for a trade. Fighting words emerged from the mouths of vets John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, guys who have seen things, been through things.

Two months after Harden's initial demand, something had to give, and it did, fast. The deal involved four teams, but for the purposes of this column, here's what you need to know: The Rockets traded Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, who provided them with Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, four unprotected first-round picks (the Nets' 2022, 2024 and 2026 picks and the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2022 pick) as well as the right to swap picks in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027. The Pacers traded Oladipo, a more politely disgruntled star, for Caris LeVert and a second-round pick.
Oladipo has had an interesting career arc. The No. 2 pick in the 2013 draft, he toiled in Orlando and became a super-role player in Oklahoma, hunting steals next to Russell Westbrook and running the second unit. When he was traded for George, the Pacers were ridiculed.
In Indiana, the world was his. You got the sense he got used to it. Then he ruptured his quad. While Oladipo was on the mend, the Pacers unlocked Sabonis as the passing nucleus of a well-balanced half-court attack. The gambit has worked out quite well, but it took away driving lanes and touches that once belonged to Oladipo. Sabonis leads the NBA with 105.3 touches per game. Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon is not far away with 94.8.
Fans will always wonder if new coach Nate Bjorkgren's modern infusions would have smoothed the divide, but you can understand why a small market would part ways with a star who was already eyeing the door.
Circumstances change fast, and so the pick-and-roll impresario lands in Houston. Oladipo is three years removed from that breakout season, but so far this season, he looks 90 percent of the way back.
At 28, he's averaging 20 points and shooting 7.7 threes at 36%. Any athletic decline looks consistent with a player who has aged three years out of their athletic prime, not one hampered by an injury.
If Oladipo arrives with demands, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta knows how to cater. If he wants the ball, the Rockets just traded the most ball-dominant player in the NBA. He'll have to divvy up touches between his new teammate, former All-Star point guard John Wall, but there's plenty of vacuum to fill.
In Indiana, Sabonis evolved into the setup man. Aside from Wall, Oladipo's new teammates are at their best being set up. P.J. Tucker and Danuel House are stocky 3-and-D wings. Christian Wood, Houston's big free agency acquisition, can set picks, pop out for threes, roll for lobs, with touch everywhere on the floor.

Between Wall and Oladipo, the new Rockets backcourt averages 3.5 steals per game. Those skill sets could compound and make something combustible — a defending, running and passing style Silas has been trying to implement. At 3-6, they have an uphill climb at making the playoffs.
What this trade means for Houston in the long-term is still murky. Months ago, the Rockets were loaded for the present. To pair Harden with a star in his prime, they gave up assets to trade for Chris Paul and then Westbrook — offering four draft picks to exchange the guards. But the life cycle of an NBA team is fickle, unpredictable. The Rockets' needs shifted the moment Harden wanted out. General manager Rafael Stone then found two teams — the Sixers and Nets — looking to win now and held their best offers under the light.
It's not surprising that, in the aftermath, the Rockets field a roster on multiple timelines. Wood and Oladipo are in their primes, Wall and Cousins are likely in their twilight and then there are the picks that range from 2022 to 2027, that help them restock the picks they gave away in the Westbrook deal.
Even Oladipo's future is a question. His contract is expiring this season, and if the Rockets want to rebuild, they could trade him starting March 4. His future will reveal Houston's intentions. Did they really think Oladipo was better than Sixers star Ben Simmons, who was also reportedly on the table? Or is this deal just a veiled cost-cutting mechanism for Fertitta? All that has yet to reveal itself. The Rockets are still in the muck, but it's better than where they were yesterday.

Jobber's success helping pave way for continued tech growth in Edmonton
Edmonton tech company Jobber has raised $60 million US in growth financing to help fund research and future growth, but won't take much of a break to savour the success. Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder of Jobber, told CBC's Edmonton AM this week the company is taking a moment to be happy at the news, but will be getting right back to work. "This financing is going to allow us to really continue doing more of what we have been doing for the last number of years but at a larger scale and with a bigger ambition to build a global technology company," Pillar said Thursday. Jobber provides management software for small home-service businesses like lawn care, HVAC, painting, roofers and residential cleaning. Earlier this week the company announced it had raised $60 million US from existing and new investors. The money will be used for research and development, marketing and reaching more customers. Started in Edmonton in 2011, Jobber has grown to have more than 250 employees and a second office in Toronto. With the new funding, the firm plans to hire another 200 people, both from Edmonton and outside, in the next 12 months. Fast-growing sector Edmonton's tech sector is growing, fuelled in recent years by Jobber and other companies. The sector is leveraging local talent and the strength of its own community, which is small compared to other major Canadian cities. Edmonton Global, an economic development corporation for the Edmonton metropolitan region, says other local tech companies have also had recent success raising funds. They include Drivewyze, which raised $60 million US in minority financing last July; SAM, which raised $3.6 million last May; and Showbie, which raised $5 million last August. Much like what e-commerce company Shopify has done for Ottawa, in terms of being a major employer and transforming the tech landscape of the region, Jobber hopes to achieve in Edmonton, Pillar said. He said building a global tech company is possible anywhere in the world now, but being in a city like Edmonton comes with some challenges. "The ecosystem is less developed and less mature than some of the larger ecosystems," he said. "It's a smaller population mass as well." However, he added that the flip side of that challenge is that a smaller tech ecosystem also means less competition. He also said Edmonton offered a lot of talent coming from the University of Alberta, MacEwan University and NAIT, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Local talent Talent is the local tech sector's biggest driver, said Lynette Tremblay, vice-president of strategy and innovation with Edmonton Global. "That is the primary driver for a tech company because their most important capital is human capital," Tremblay said. "Wherever the talent is, that's generally where the company is going to want to locate." Tremblay noted that in 2019, RBC ranked Edmonton the best city for Canadian youth to live and work in. In the same year, real estate giant CBRE's research centre ranked Edmonton as one of top 10 Canadian cities — not only for affordability but also for tech jobs, noting that jobs in the sector had increased by 26 per cent in the previous five years. Tremblay said one of the challenges the city faces is that although there is enough talent, there aren't enough companies to hire all the qualified workers. Edmonton Global estimates about 5,000 graduates are leaving the region per year. "So we need to try to retain that talent because that is going to attract the companies," she said. However, talent is also the biggest cost for tech companies, Tremblay said, adding that while petrochemical companies can get tax breaks for machinery, equipment and construction, tech companies have been asking for help to offset the cost of labour. "Jurisdictions we are competing against — Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal — they all have similar incentives in place," she said. "So anything we can do to level the playing field, helps us." 'Tight-knit' community Besides talent from post secondary schools, Edmonton's start-up community thrives because of support from within, said Lauren Briske, interim director at Startup Edmonton. "It is a tight-knit community," Briske said. "There're lots of people kind of willing to, kind of open doors for people that are taking a chance on entrepreneurship, taking a chance on taking their ideas to market." Companies like Jobber are dedicated to growing and supporting Edmonton's start-up community as well, she said. "Tons of their team members actively mentor early-stage companies."
Austria extends lockdown to Feb. 7, toughens some measures
BERLIN — The Austrian government is extending the country's lockdown until Feb. 7 in a drive to push down still-high infection figures as officials worry about the possible impact of new coronavirus variants. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Sunday that some measures will also be tightened as a result of the more infectious variants that were first detected in Britain and South Africa. He said people will now be asked to stay 2 metres (61/2 feet) apart instead of 1 metre. Beginning on Jan. 25, they will also be required to wear full protective masks on public transport and in shops, rather than just fabric face coverings. People on low incomes will get such masks free, Health Minister Rudolf Anschober said. Austria's current lockdown, its third, started on Dec. 26 and was to end on Jan. 24. Kurz said Austria is keen to avoid a situation such as that in Britain and Ireland, where infections have risen sharply and rapidly as new variants take hold. So far, Austria has over 150 suspected infections with the British variant, Anschober said. Kurz said Austria needs to get as close as it can to, and preferably below, an infection level of 50 new cases per 100,000 residents over 7 days. The figure now stands at 131. "Our aim is to approach this figure ... by Feb. 8 and start the first steps toward opening on Feb. 8," with schools, nonessential shops, museums and services such as hairdressers reopening, Kurz told a news conference in Vienna. But Kurz made clear that restaurants and hotels will have to wait longer. "We have to assume at present that, at least in February, it will not be possible to open tourism and catering," he said, adding that a decision will be made in mid-February. Austria, a nation of 8.9 million, has confirmed nearly 390,000 cases and seen 6,964 deaths related to COVID-19. ——- Follow AP coverage of the coronavirus pandemic at: https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-vaccine https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak The Associated Press

Effects of drought in the Amazon persist years later
An area of the Amazon rainforest three times the size of the United kingdom was strongly affected by a drought that began in 2005, says a NASA-led team that includes researchers from Oxford. The results, together with observed increases in rainfall variability and associated forest damage in southern and western Amazonia during the past decade, suggest these rainforests may be witnessing the first signs of potential large-scale degradation due to climate change.

Research Update: Atomic Motions Help Determine Temperatures Inside Earth
In December 2011, Caltech mineral-physics expert Jennifer Jackson reported that she and a team of researchers had used diamond-anvil cells to compress tiny samples of iron-the main element of the earth's core. By squeezing the samples to reproduce the extreme pressures felt at the core, the team was able to get a closer estimate of the melting point of iron. At the time, the measurements that the researchers made were unprecedented in detail.
Life possible on extrasolar moons
In their search for habitable worlds, astronomers have started to consider exomoons, or those likely orbiting planets outside the solar system. In a new study, a pair of researchers has found that exomoons are just as likely to support life as exoplanets. The research, conducted by Rory Barnes of the University of Washington and the NASA Astrobiology Institute and René Heller of Germany's Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam , will appear in the January issue of Astrobiology.
First "Bone" of the Milky Way Identified
Long Beach, CA - Our Milky Way is a spiral galaxy - a pinwheel-shaped collection of stars, gas and dust. It has a central bar and two major spiral arms that wrap around its disk. Since we view the Milky Way from the inside, its exact structure is difficult to determine. Astronomers have identified a new structure in the Milky Way: a long tendril of dust and gas that they are calling a "bone." "This is the first time we've seen such a delicate piece of the galactic skeleton," says lead author Alyssa Goodman of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).

Within 'habitable zone,' more planets than we knew
The number of known places in our galaxy theoretically hospitable to life may be significantly greater than previously thought, according to new research. Researchers with Planet Hunters are reporting the discovery of a Jupiter-sized planet in the so-called "habitable zone" of a star similar to Earth's sun, as well as the identification of 15 new candidate planets also orbiting within their star's habitable zone.
'Traffic jam' of moons in habitable zone
Volunteers from the Planethunters.org website, part of the Oxford University-led Zooniverse project, have discovered 15 new planet candidates orbiting in the habitable zones of other stars. Added to the 19 similar planets already discovered in habitable zones, where the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water, the new finds suggest that there may be a 'traffic jam' of all kinds of strange worlds in regions that could potentially support life.

Malonil-CoA és un coenzim A derivat de l'àcid malònic.

Funcions
Té una funció crítica en l'elongació de cadenes en la biosíntesi dels àcids grassos i dels policètids.
També actua en el transport de l'alfa-cetoglutarat a través de la membrana mitocondrial cap a la matriu mitocondrial.

Biosíntesi dels àcids grassos
Proveeix els àcids grassos d'unitats de dos carbonis que causen l'elongació de la cadena.

El malonil CoA es forma a partir de la carboxilació de l'Acetil CoA, gràcies a l'enzim acetil CoA carboxilasa. Una molècula d'acetil CoA s'uneix a una molècula de bicarbonat, agafant energia en forma d'ATP.

El malonil-CoA és utilitzat pel malonyl CoA transacilasa (MCAT), que transfereix malonat del malonil CoA al tiol terminal de la holo-proteïna transportadora d'acil (ACP).

Biosíntesi dels policètids
El MCAT també està involucrat en la producció de policètids en bateris. Amb l'ajuda del ACP, el PKS (sintasa policètica) i un factor heterodímer de llargada de cadena, constitueix els policètids de tipus II.

Regulació
El malonil CoA és una molècula reguladora en la biosíntesi d'àcids grassos, inhibeix certes reaccions de la beta-oxidació dels àcids grassos. També inhibeix l'associació entra àcids grassos i carnitina regulant l'enzim carnitina aciltransferasa.

Ewald André Dupont, né le  à Zeitz dans le royaume de Saxe dans l'Empire allemand et mort le  à Hollywood, est un réalisateur allemand. Il fut l'un des pionniers du cinéma allemand.

Biographie
Journaliste, Ewald André Dupont commence en 1916 à écrire des scénarios pour le cinéma muet. Après la guerre, il se spécialise dans l'écriture de scénarios de films policiers et réalise ses propres films. Il devient un cinéaste à succès en Allemagne dans la veine réaliste notamment avec trois films avec pour cadre l'univers du spectacle Baruch et le théâtre, der demütige und die tänzerin'''' dans le milieu de la danse et Variétés dans le monde du cirque. Son film Moulin rouge, tourné à Paris et à Londres, où Olga Tchekhova tient le rôle principal, connaît un succès international en 1928, à cause de scènes jugées scandaleuses. L'année suivante, Piccadilly fait connaître au public l'actrice sino-américaine Anna May Wong.

Il poursuit ensuite sa carrière à Londres et à Hollywood, où il s'installe définitivement en 1933. Sa carrière américaine n'ayant pas le succès escompté il décide de se retirer du cinéma en 1940 avant de faire un come-back au début des années 1950 dans des productions de série Z

Kelly Clarkson's New Christmas Song Is Here! The Video For "Christmas Isn't Canceled – Just You!"
By johnrieber on September 23, 2021 • ( 15 )
Kelly's New Christmas Song Is Here!
Fans were buzzing when word got out about the title of Kelly's new Christmas sing:
"Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)"
While it's an upbeat, energized song, it's also an honest one – Kelly sings candidly about Christmas this year in her house:
"I'll be hanging every light I find in this house
Playin' Christmas music so loudThis year Christmas won't be quite so blue
And I'm gonna shout too much and dance in the snow
Drink just enough to let us go
Christmas isn't canceled, just you…"
Kelly has released the song ahead of the release of the album, which is October 15th!
Here's a cool video of the song with animated lyrics:
Bravo to Kelly Clarkson, Music Director Jason Halbert, Singer Jessi Collins and the entire creative team for a gorgeous, honest Christmas treat!
"When Christmas Comes Around" Is On The Way!

This is a fantastic song, John. I'm sure it will be very popular.
Good luck to Kelly, but Septmeber is too early for Christmas in my world. The supermarkets are already stocking Christmas gifts, and we haven't even had Halloween yet. 🙂
The album is October 15th – give it a chance to sell through the holiday, as they don't sell after that Pete!
I suppose that's true, and I hope it's a great success! 🙂

Sleuth's I-Spy Book Of Modern Animals
Number 1: The Feckless Chameleon (ChameleonisTeveziano Idiota)
Published on September 30th 2011.
SLEUTH was walking in Philips Park on Wednesday admiring the nature. Beautiful day, Etihad Stadium framing the view.
It may be on the verge of extinction from the UK. Some think this could be a good thing.
Suddenly he heard some squeaking and there, hiding in the grass, was the Feckless Chameleon, also known as, the Chameleon Tevez.
These creatures used to be very rare in Manchester but now with Global Wage Inflation (surely warming? Ed) this particular species has been spotted in recent years first to the west of the city and now in the Philips Park area.
The Tevez in common with all chameleons is good with camouflage. This one has the ability to change its colour to suit any environment that offers it large amounts of cash.
It also carries the distinctive 'dummy'. This has evolved as a defence mechanism to stop an unbearable sound of whinging escaping from its mouth.
However when provoked by a sense of injustice or victimisation the dummy is spit out and then the usual cry of the Tevez can be heard.
This goes:
"Eeeet's not fair." (repeated four or five times) "I am paid only £285,000 a weeeeek and now peeeeople want me to worrrk for eet as weeeell - for as long as thirty meeeenutes too. Nobody else has to do theees. Eeeet's not fair. Eeeet's not fair."
The sense of injustice and victimisation seems to arise from decisions the lizard made itself such as which country to live in and what colours to display.
It is, according to some sources (its own), a lonely little animal. It has migrated thousands of miles away from its breeding grounds and its young. As a consequence the Tevez has never fully adapted to life in a colder climate, where other members of the species communicate differently, in English.
It may be on the verge of extinction from the UK. This could be a good thing.
As Professor Robert Mancity says, "Clearly this lizard has no place in Manchester and instead of adapting to the favourable conditions is poisoning the environment. Its days are surely numbered."

A: I actually enjoy it. The biggest reason is to meet and work with Informix users around the world. In fact, I possibly communicate with more Informix users on a regular basis than anyone else given my responsibilities running the IIUG Server and as webmaster of iiug.org. The part I actually enjoy is meeting the people personally, so if I travel I try to meet the people I might know in the area I'll visit. Over the past years I have met thousands of Informix users and communicate with many of them still today. Just a few weeks ago at Forum 2002 I ran into an Informix user I had not seen in about six years. Great talking about old times!
A: Stealing a line from Jerry Hamilton, to "Keep Informix Alive!" Informix database products were built with - for lack of a better term - "the need for speed". In addition to this, they are the most reliable database product on the market. Recently I was at a consulting assignment where I was training an individual who was the new DBA responsible for about ten different Informix servers running critical legal information. This person never used Informix, but had taken the Informix training classes and was thrown into the fire (a very hot fire). One of his first questions was "How do I install Informix?" We put the CD in the machine and had Informix up and running live in less than 10 minutes.
Last week I was on the phone with an Informix customer who was complaining about their crashed Informix database. After spending time on the phone with them, I learned that they had done ZERO maintenance, other than backup, on their database for 2-1/2 years. That was ZERO time spent. No reboot of the server, no restart of Informix, nothing. How many other database products stay running for 2-1/2 years with no maintenance? I was sorry about their database crashing, but everyone must spend at least 10 minutes a month doing maintenance, right? No other database product can match this. The world never knew about capabilities like this. Maybe, just maybe I can help others see the real value in the product line.
A: Born and lived my entire life in the Boston, MA, home of the Super Bowl Champions, but also stuck with the heartache of the Boston Red Sox. Yes I am a big sports fan. I tell people I work 24 hours a day. This could be true as long as there is nothing to watch on TV in the Boston Sports land.
A: How many days do you have... About two years back I got a call from a local dot.com who was sold on moving their data OUT of an Informix database into an Oracle database. After realizing that convincing them to stay with Informix was impossible, I took the assignment.
After being there for a week I found out that these people never bought Informix software but found out they had just downloaded IDS 7.21 for NT from the Internet. Informix had found out and asked them to simply pay for it, after all they had just received $10 million in venture capital. Well, they decided to go to Oracle, as their local office was down the street, and approached Oracle with a deal. The proposed deal was: if they got rid of Informix as their database, Oracle have to give them the software for free. Oracle agreed.
IDS was installed on a dual Pentium II - 400 Mhz box running NT. The Oracle database they were installing was going on a mid-range Sun box running UNIX. By all means, the Oracle should have blown the Informix away as the CPU was five times the power.
One day I walked in and they were all running around in circles as they could not figure out why the Oracle database could not perform up to the standards of the Informix database which was never tuned, just loaded straight off the internet in a default configuration. Oracle sent over four technical people from their local office. They could not get the Oracle on a faster CPU to perform up to the same throughput as IDS. Well they were now stuck with their Oracle stuff and not only was performance terrible, but the system went down many times in the middle of the night. These people were a 24x7 dot.com, and, as the saying goes, your competition is only a click away. They found out as they went out of business three months later. Moral of the story, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
A: Seeing the current status of the product line. Many Informix customers think the product line will end and are jumping off the ship. What they do not realize is that the product is used in the daily activities of over 100,000 companies around the world. Products like that do not go away. If people believe it will happen, it will happen. If customers and users want to remain Informix users, they should. I have a constant saying: "No one ever bought an Informix product for the marketing. They bought it because it was the best technical product that met their needs". This is still true today, so I just cannot understand why users are jumping off the ship, instead of spreading the word and continue using the product they purchased for a technical reason as it was the best product out there and still is. Another saying I have is: "I have never met an X-customer of Informix products who now uses another database for TECHNICAL reasons."
I remember 19 years ago where I was first exposed to Informix products, the company I was working at truly tested the Informix products vs. four other products. We decided on Informix SOLELY for technical reasons. I believe if this is still done today, Informix would be the largest used database product but, unfortunately, political and marketing reasons step in when the decision is made and get in the way of the technical people. I used to say that if technical people made the decision on which product to used, based solely on performance and reliability, they would almost always choose Informix.
A: I am somewhat confused here. Do I have a life outside of work and the IIUG??? Currently single but dating a great person for many years. This person is not a technical individual but she has been to five Informix User Conferences and has to deal with the time I spend on and travel with the IIUG Board. And for some reason, she still talks to me. My hobbies and interest are basically sports related. Lately it seems to be playing golf and trying to break 100.

Pxise Lands Investment From Mitsui to Expand Real-Time Grid Balancing Software
The Japanese giant takes a 20 percent stake in the Sempra subsidiary and seeks new markets for grid control software in the U.S. and abroad.

The Sempra software subsidiary is trying to change the game for distributed resource management.
Pxise Energy Solutions, the Sempra Energy spinout with software that can tap lots of wind and solar inverters, batteries, and other distributed energy resources to help balance the grid, has landed an undisclosed equity investment from Japanese trading house Mitsui.
It's the first outside investment for the company, which plans to use the money to expand its software in commercial applications ranging from large-scale wind and solar farms to small-scale microgrids — and, potentially, distributed energy resource (DER) management for applications like distribution grids that lie between those two extremes.
Patrick Lee, president of Pxise (pronounced like "spice" without the "s"), declined to say how much Mitsui has invested, but noted that it constitutes a 20 percent equity stake in the company. Mistui will also market the company's technology, which Makoto Serino, general manager of Mitsui's DT business development division, said in a statement will "accelerate the digital transformation in the energy and power industry where Mitsui has many assets and access to partners."
Mitsui, which has a number of renewable energy, distributed energy storage and internet-of-things investments, has also invested in OSIsoft, the big utility data historian software vendor that co-developed Pxise's software. OSIsoft introduced Pxise to Mitsui last year, which "saw it as one of the missing pieces to complete their portfolio," Lee said.
Pxise was launched last year to commercialize software for the grid based on the concept of multivariable feedback control, also known as two-by-two decoupling control. This technology is in use in aircraft autopilot systems, oil refineries and other systems that require the coordination of many different inputs in complex feedback loops.
The fundamental idea, Lee said, is to design a grid-balancing system that's "designed as a system, as opposed to designed for specific devices." In field tests, Pxise has shown that its technology can control multiple devices from different vendors, all through a common software platform running on a single hardened server that costs less than $5,000, he said. "To harmonize a group of DERs of any size or shape — that's what we've built."
To get the real-time data it needs, Pxise taps the capabilities of phasor measurement units, or PMUs, also known as synchrophasors. These devices measure the magnitude and angle of electrical sine waves at the speed of the grid — 60 cycles per second in North America, to be precise — and synchronize that data across entire regions and grid networks using global positioning system radio clocks.
That resolution of data allows Pxise's software to control for multiple grid disturbances simultaneously, from relatively simple energy supply-demand imbalances to more complicated reactive power and phase angle-related disruptions. While most PMUs in use today are purpose-built for transmission grid monitoring, many devices now on the grid carry the same sensing capabilities, like relays built by well-known grid vendor Schweitzer Engineering Laboratory, and Pxise is working with its partners to "light up this dark data" within them, Lee said.
With this high-resolution data, Pxise's software can automatically control multiple devices, from solar and battery inverters to grid capacitors and voltage regulators, to balance out these disturbances in real time. Of course, the platform includes a human interface for grid or DER fleet operators to make their own commands — but the most challenging balancing tasks require speeds much faster than humans are capable of, Lee noted.
The details of the technology are contained in Pxise's intellectual property portfolio, which includes eight patents granted to date and four more patents pending. But in a series of field tests over the past several years, said Lee, "the hardest challenge, in terms of the ability to control devices at high speed and with precision, are proven. What we need to demonstrate is not so much a technical challenge as an implementation challenge."
Pxise's first field test was at Sempra Renewables' 22-megawatt Auwahi Wind farm on the island of Maui, which includes an 11-megawatt battery system. The tests showed that the software was capable of balancing power output between the wind farm and battery in reaction to "multiple disturbances to the grid, including rooftop solar, wind, and system demand changes," while simultaneously actively keeping grid frequency within a "tight band."
That control was all accomplished via servers in San Diego managing controls in Hawaii, indicating that it's capable of managing real-time orchestration remotely, Lee said. But it also showed that Pxise's software was capable of scaling down to serve lower-cost applications, including microgrid operations.
"Right away, we transitioned into more commercial deployment," he said. Pxise's next test, running a solar-battery microgrid at a Sonoma County, California winery, used the "same software that we've configured for the wind farm," he said, although at a much smaller scale. Parent company Sempra is also testing the software at its San Diego headquarters.
More recently, Pxise has expanded into both large-scale renewables and microgrids via new projects in California. On the utility-scale side, Pxise's software is now operating at the Great Valley solar complex near Fresno, California, a combined 200 megawatts of solar PV built from four different PPAs, that Sempra Renewables purchased last year. There, it's optimizing capacitors, inverters and other existing equipment to better manage the challenges of balancing the single interconnection point that connects all four solar installations to the state's power grid, with far more visibility and greater reaction speed than supported by the existing SCADA system, explained Lee.
In May, Pxise won a subcontracting role in two California Energy Commission grant-funded microgrid projects, one at Santa Rosa Junior College in Sonoma County and the other for the Chemehuevi Tribe in southeastern California.
Pxise is now setting its sights on the middle ground between utility-scale renewables and microgrids, as a distributed energy resource management system provider for utility distribution grids, Lee said. Its first target is Australia, where Pxise is now on the short list of vendors vying for a 50,000-DER virtual power plant project being proposed by utility Horizon Power.
Today, software that goes by the DERMS title consists primarily of systems optimized to manage fleets of DERs for bidding into wholesale markets, or utility-centric systems optimized to meet specific distribution grid purposes. According to GTM Research, a true "enterprise DERMS" platform, capable of real-time monitoring, control and orchestration of thousands of DERs across a utility's system, does not yet exist.
Lee would like to see Pxise take on that role as a single platform, which could help utilities avoid the potentially project-killing complexities involved with tying multiple existing DER and grid control systems in a way that can support real-time operations. "Architecting a system that's hierarchical and multi-level control — we already do that," he said. "Now it's just piecing it together."

Subscription boxes are hot. Even Walmart is looking at getting into the game by meeting with Birchbox. The rumors are swirling that Walmart will buy Birchbox to get into the subscription business themselves.
However, the explosive growth hides a dark truth. Almost all of those new subscription boxes will fail within a year. And most of the subscription boxes will quickly reach a membership plateau, staying stuck there for as long as the founders stick it out or sell.
But, it doesn't have to be that way. Here are the four reasons subscription boxes fail today and what you can do instead.
1. The new membership offer is as interesting as a 7-year-old iPhone.
The iPhone 3G was exciting when released. Data speeds were 3G, and that was lightning fast for all that surfing on MySpace. Today, you can get one for $10.00 or less on eBay. But why would you want it? There are so many other choices that look better by comparison.
It's the same with many subscription box offers. The offer is all about the box. Perhaps they describe the contents, and there's sometimes a discount for locking in a term of three or six months. There's nothing about how the box is going to make you feel. There's little about the curation or theme, or the "gift experience" this box will give you each time it arrives.
No one wants your box. They want the feeling your box gives them when it arrives. The feeling of being special with items curated just for them, of being an insider who gets to see the latest new products before anyone else, and the convenience of never having to research and search for all of this themselves.
Even small changes on your new customer order pages can greatly increase your sales conversion and number of new subscribers. Help your member prospect feel what it'll be like when your box arrives.
2. There's no market for their product.
When I speak with many subscription box owners, I often stump them with one simple question. "Who is your target customer?" I'll get answers such as women who wear jewelry, environmentally conscious customers, or something else equally vague.
The quickest path to success in any business is to identify customers first. Determine how you'll reach them, and learn about the problems they face in their daily lives and the types of items they are already buying. Then, design your box to delight and attract that type of person.
Too many box company founders create their box based on some fun and unique idea they have, then struggle to find someone to buy it. Start with the someone first, and then design your box.
3. There's no connection with subscribers.
Your box arrives once a month. Even if it's a great day, that leaves up to 30 days a month your member isn't receiving anything, except perhaps his credit card statement with your charge on it. Or complaints from his wife about why he spends so much each month on frivolous stuff. Or offers from other subscriptions that he'd also like to try. The deck is stacked against you — 1 day of delight and 30 days to think about quitting.
Instead, keep the conversation going all month. How can you engage your subscribers in a community, discover what they think of the items you are delivering, and get them excited about upcoming boxes? Membership and community isn't a one-day-a-month thing, it's an every-day thing.
4. They don't incorporate their mission into their deliverables.
I had a subscription box owner reach out to me, asking me about retention challenges she faced. In her email, she explained how environmentally conscious her products are, and I'll attest that the items were really thoughtful and had a high value.
However, when she sent me a PDF of the inserts she includes in her box, there was nothing in the box that explained how each item was curated in an environmentally conscious way. In fact, each item was given barely a sentence description. There was no way for the environmentally conscious customer who subscribed to her box to appreciate how this collection of products will make her feel environmentally conscious when she wears them.
Rather than focusing solely on the retail price of the products you deliver, include copy about the value of the products that adhere to the values your company and customers espouse. Now, rather than a box of stuff, engaging with your box will give your members a great feeling each month.
Creating a thriving subscription business is about a lot more than what you deliver each month. Subscription membership businesses are creating relationships every day, at scale. That relationship is about an exciting new membership offer, creating a product with a customer focus, delivering engagement content throughout the month, and making it all consistent with your mission. These four reasons for failure represent four new marketing strategies that'll grow any subscription business and maximize the potential of that recurring revenue.
Robert, thank you for this great article. As I slowly read through I thought of where my team and I had done well, AND where we would need to get stronger. We just launched our sub box service and things are going very well but they could always be better. Thanks again!
Great to hear. Thank you for your comment Aida. I hope it helps you grow your subscription box so you can spread comfort, humor and support to more people. I'm rooting for you!


There's Something About Mike Koenigs?!
Video marketing is currently the quickest way to get noticed online and that's why it plays such a big part in my SEOmethod. Using a service called Traffic Geyser we push out our videos across the web getting us excellent targeted traffic and SEO benefits.
But I didn't write this post to tell you about Traffic Geyser, I wrote it to introduce you to the guy behind Traffic Geyser… Mike Koenigs. He's pretty well connected in the internet marketing world and also rubs shoulders with the likes of Tony Robbins, Paula Abdul, Deepak Chopra and Debbie Ford.
Anyway, recently I had the pleasure of chatting with Mike about the 'best practices' of video marketing – about halfway through, the call took an unexpected turn and we started to discuss 'what it takes to be successful online'.
I know you're going to love the recording and, in hindsight, it's pretty easy to see why Mike is able to connect with some amazing people – plan and simple, he's a really nice guy!
Click there to download the call and see what I mean.
Nice! A lot of people don't believe me when I say video plays a huge part when it comes to SEO, and this here interview proves it 🙂 What I'm wondering now though, since Facebook has just surpassed Google, how does this play out in the video marketing game?


Trust me: if I can do it, you can do it.
I am the worst type of chef. When I cook, which is very rare, I can only cook the most basic things (shout-out to grilled cheese and quesadillas). When I heard of Blue Apron, I thought it sounded like an awesome concept (because who doesn't love food delivered straight to your doorstep?!), but I figured that I was way too terrible of a chef to even attempt it.
Needless to say, I was very wrong. Trust me, if you can only prepare cereal, or even just want to make better dinners, then you're going to want to try out Blue Apron.
So, how does Blue Apron work?
Each week you choose either the 2-person plan, where you receive 3 meals, or the family plan, where you receive 2 meals that serve 4 people.
Then, you decide which dishes you would like to cook. Don't worry, they have a large variety of creative and original recipes to choose from. I love stir fry, so I decided to try their Cashew Chicken version.
Once you receive your box, you're ready to go. Blue Apron includes every single ingredient needed to make your dinner, so there's no need to worry about a last minute run to the grocery store.
You're even provided with easy to understand step-by-step instructions. Trust me, if you follow the directions, it's almost impossible to mess up your meal.
Before my experience with Blue Apron, the most I would do for dinner was unwrap the packaging of some easy-to-make food so I could throw it in the microwave or oven. With Blue Apron I was chopping veggies, boiling rice, adding sesame oil and soy glaze, and cooking chicken to perfection.
Obviously I am still nowhere near close to being the next Top Chef, but Blue Apron has definitely helped me get one step closer - not to brag, but my Cashew Chicken Stir Fry did taste amazing.
With its variety of creative and original recipes, low price of $8.74 per serving, fresh ingredients, and easy delivery, there's no doubt in my mind that you're going to absolutely fall in love with this service.
So, whether you're a terrible chef like me or you just want to try something new, I definitely recommend giving Blue Apron a try.

PowerPoint PresentationHow to (politely) say no at workDo you find it difficult to say no to your boss or colleagues? We werent taught it at uni, and it doesnt come naturally to most people especially when we want to please people and prove were hard workers. But sometimes no is necessary. Heres how to tackle this tricky topic. First, an explanation. Why is it so hard to say no?. At time it can sound rude, disagreeable or unhelpful. You may be worried about upsetting the person asking, or missing out on future opportunities by not being accomodating. When is no vital? If something is unethical, illegal or unsafe you should say no. But if the request if part of your job description and you have capacity to do it, you should say yes. The rest is a grey area and requires your discretion to decide. How do you deny a request without giving the impression youre not a team player? Build up your reputation first. Prove you have a fantastic work ethic before you can start saying no. Say yes to as much as you can handle and do the work well. Ask questions to make sure you understand exactly what is required to complete the task. Once you have all the details, weigh up your decision. Explain your reasons for refusing. Will your standard of work suffer?Is there an alternative? Can you take on just one aspect of the project? Perhaps ask a colleague if theyre in a position to help. Deliver your answer face-to-face. Its easier to misinterpret the tone of an e-mail. If youre the bearer of bad news, its best to deliver it in person.

Facebook announced today that 14 percent of its total advertising revenue in Q3 came from mobile ads — less than 8 months since the company began its monetization efforts in the space.
According to earnings reports, Facebook generated $1.086 billion in advertising revenue in Q3, suggesting that about $152 million came from mobile. It's worth noting that Q3 was the first full quarter that advertisers had the option to specifically purchase mobile inventory. Sponsored Stories began appearing in mobile feed in March, but advertisers couldn't control their placements until June. CFO David Ebersman said on today's earnings call that ads in News Feed are now generating about $4 million per day, with three-fourths of that from the mobile feed.
Mobile growth and opportunity was clearly the theme of the investor call today. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that mobile is the "most misunderstood" aspect of Facebook's business, iterating a point he made last month about mobile being "fundamentally good" for the social network. Zuckerberg noted that mobile users are more engaged on a daily basis than non-mobile users, and that its mobile ad products are and will continue to be more deeply integrated into the experience rather than off to the side as they are on desktop. He said that although it might have seemed that Facebook couldn't monetize mobile earlier this year, that was because the company simply hadn't tried yet.
In the past eight months, though, Facebook has introduced several opportunities for mobile revenue. On the ad side, there's Sponsored Stories, page post ads, Promoted Posts and app install ads. These are all directly within the feed, and advertisers across the board are seeing higher clickthroughs and engagement with these units. COO Sheryl Sandberg noted that page post ads in News Feed (including desktop and mobile) are eight times more engaging than the same ads in the right hand column, and they have a 10 times greater ad recall per impression. This is in line with what we have heard from a number of Preferred Marketing Developers testing these ads.
App install ads benefit from being a "uniquely mobile" product, Sandberg says, though those ads are in very early stages. The product came out of beta last week. Another mobile-first advertising venture is the mobile ad network still being tested with select partners. These aren't having an effect on Facebook's earnings yet, but lay the groundwork in areas with a lot of potential for growth. Sandberg says that within eight months, Facebook has become one of the largest mobile ad platforms in the world.
Offers are another product with an opportunity to drive revenue on mobile. Since launch, about 100,000 pages have created an Offer and about 30 percent of Offer claims are coming from mobile devices, Sandberg says.
Separate from Facebook's ad business, the company also announced Facebook Gifts just before the end of Q3. The product, which allows users to buy actual goods for their friends, was spun out of the social network's acquisition of Karma and has a significant mobile component. It is still being rolled out in the U.S.
And although Facebook hasn't made any moves to monetize Instagram, Zuckerberg said that the mobile photo-sharing app has gone from 27 million registered users since before the acquisition to more than 100 million today. There is more mobile time being spent on Instagram than on Twitter, he pointed out.

Nature's dangerous decline threatening extinction of 1 million species
Around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history, caused by the decline of nature globally at rates unprecedented in human history, with grave impacts on people around the world now likely, warns a landmark new report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
"The overwhelming evidence of the IPBES Global Assessment, from a wide range of different fields of knowledge, presents an ominous picture," said IPBES Chair, Sir Robert Watson. "The health of ecosystems on which we and all other species depend is deteriorating more rapidly than ever. We are eroding the very foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide."
"The Report also tells us that it is not too late to make a difference, but only if we start now at every level from local to global," he said. "Through 'transformative change', nature can still be conserved, restored and used sustainably – this is also key to meeting most other global goals. By transformative change, we mean a fundamental, system-wide reorganization across technological, economic and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values."
The IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is the most comprehensive ever completed. Compiled by 145 expert authors from 50 countries over the past three years, with inputs from another 310 contributing authors, the Report assesses changes over the past five decades, providing a comprehensive picture of the relationship between economic development pathways and their impacts on nature.
Based on the systematic review of about 15,000 scientific and government sources, the Report also draws (for the first time ever at this scale) on indigenous and local knowledge, particularly addressing issues relevant to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.
75%: terrestrial environment "severely altered" to date by human actions (marine environments 66%)

>33%: world's land surface (and +/-75% of freshwater resources) devoted to crop or livestock production
+/-25%: greenhouse gas emissions caused by land clearing, crop production and fertilization, with animal-based food contributing 75% to that figure

8%: of total greenhouse gas emissions are from transport and food consumption related to tourism
5%: estimated fraction of species at risk of extinction from 2°C warming alone, rising to 16% at 4.3°C warming
Even for global warming of 1.5 to 2 degrees, the majority of terrestrial species ranges are projected to shrink profoundly.
70%: proportion of cancer drugs that are natural or synthetic products inspired by nature
+/-4 billion: people who rely primarily on natural medicines
40%: of the global population lacks access to clean and safe drinking water
>80%: global wastewater discharged untreated into the environment
300-400 million tons: heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge, and other wastes from industrial facilities dumped annually into the world's waters
10 times: increase in plastic pollution since 1980
"Ecosystems, species, wild populations, local varieties and breeds of domesticated plants and animals are shrinking, deteriorating or vanishing. The essential, interconnected web of life on Earth is getting smaller and increasingly frayed," said Prof. Settele. "This loss is a direct result of human activity and constitutes a direct threat to human well-being in all regions of the world."
UN Sustainable Development Goals at risk
Despite progress to conserve nature and implement policies, the Report also finds that global goals for conserving and sustainably using nature and achieving sustainability cannot be met by current trajectories, and goals for 2030 and beyond may only be achieved through transformative changes across economic, social, political and technological factors. With good progress on components of only four of the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets, it is likely that most will be missed by the 2020 deadline. Current negative trends in biodiversity and ecosystems will undermine progress towards 80% (35 out of 44) of the assessed targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, related to poverty, hunger, health, water, cities, climate, oceans and land (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 14 and 15). Loss of biodiversity is therefore shown to be not only an environmental issue, but also a developmental, economic, security, social and moral issue as well.
"To better understand and, more importantly, to address the main causes of damage to biodiversity and nature's contributions to people, we need to understand the history and global interconnection of complex demographic and economic indirect drivers of change, as well as the social values that underpin them," said Prof. Brondízio. "Key indirect drivers include increased population and per capita consumption; technological innovation, which in some cases has lowered and in other cases increased the damage to nature; and, critically, issues of governance and accountability."
Actions for sustainability
The Report also presents a wide range of illustrative actions for sustainability and pathways for achieving them across and between sectors such as agriculture, forestry, marine systems, freshwater systems, urban areas, energy, finance and many others. It highlights the importance of, among others, adopting integrated management and cross-sectoral approaches that take into account the trade-offs of food and energy production, infrastructure, freshwater and coastal management, and biodiversity conservation.
Also identified as a key element of more sustainable future policies is the evolution of global financial and economic systems to build a global sustainable economy, steering away from the current limited paradigm of economic growth.
"IPBES presents the authoritative science, knowledge and the policy options to decisionmakers for their consideration," said IPBES Executive Secretary, Dr. Anne Larigauderie. "We thank the hundreds of experts, from around the world, who have volunteered their time and knowledge to help address the loss of species, ecosystems and genetic diversity – a truly global and generational threat to human well-being."

Cost Of Tilt Up Concrete Construction
Cost Of Tilt Up Concrete Construction – If you've noticed new commercial buildings being built every few weeks, you're not crazy. You are probably witnessing a building being built using the lean construction method. Lifting buildings is an innovative method used for all buildings: office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, distribution centers, call centers, laboratory facilities and more. Currently, more than 650 million square meters of sloping buildings are erected annually.
The exterior walls of the building are built in place with timber frames, rebar and precast concrete in a sloping structure. The walls of the building are cast directly on the job site into large concrete slabs known as "tilted panels" or "tilted panels". Once the walls are complete, the crane lifts the panels around the perimeter of the building, forming the exterior walls. All the building's entrances and window openings are cast in the form of a wall.
Speed is the main advantage of lean-to construction. The construction of the outer walls is completed very quickly. Depending on the size of the building, you can erect the walls within a week.
How Much Does It Cost To Build A Warehouse?
Labor costs are another advantage of service. This method requires less skilled labor than other methods.
With curved construction, the availability of materials is often more manageable. Ready-mix concrete and rebar are usually available from nearby suppliers. This is a good alternative to waiting months for steel beams and complex components.
Reinforced concrete is an excellent insulator, making inclined structures more energy efficient. You can create walls with an additional layer of insulation to save energy.
The upward sloping construction enables a customized and flexible design. Computer software is used to design your building to your exact specifications.

First developed in 1905, it has become popular over the past century for a variety of projects, from schools and offices to industrial warehouses. But some of the earliest leaning buildings were apartment buildings, such as the Schindler House, built in 1922 in West Hollywood, California. The advantages of sloping construction are also great for residential buildings. For this reason, concrete houses use sloping construction.
Prefab construction is much faster than the processes used for ICF, steel frame and wooden houses. Leaning concrete houses are quick and easy to assemble, like 3D puzzles. First, the wall panels are built flat on the ground. Each panel is a three-layer sandwich (concrete-insulation-concrete). A crane then pulls the panels together. Then custom finishes are added to fulfill the home buyer's vision. The whole process from design to construction takes about 3-4 months. On the other hand, ICF, wood and steel houses can last 6-12 months.
The tilt-up process results in significant cost savings. First of all, building with concrete is the biggest advantage. It is produced locally in Ontario, so the price is not affected by market trends or tariffs.
Winter Tilt Up In The Second City
With lean construction, the project schedule is reduced, requiring less material and labor time. Where wood and steel framing requires extensive manual on-site assembly, our precast concrete panels are constructed off-site at our Woodstock facility. Once delivered to site, the panels take just a week or two to build, and assembly takes place in one day.
In addition, electricity and plumbing are included in the panels, so there is no need to bring in specialist shops when the house is finished. ICF, steel, and wood homes require specialized trades for several parts of the process, including electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and siding.
Precast concrete houses are very good for the environment. Pre-tilt construction emits 10% more CO2 than wooden houses. But over time, concrete houses can reduce energy use and costs by about 30%. Here, thermal mass plays an important role. Unlike other materials, concrete has an unparalleled ability to absorb, store and release heat. Thus, the concrete house often maintains its internal temperature without excessive heating and cooling. In addition, our sandwich panels ensure complete insulation of the house. The sloping design prevents air leakage, which affects energy consumption.
Concrete Homes is a subsidiary of Tilt Wall Ontario, a tilt wall construction subcontractor with over 15 years of experience. Tilt Wall has worked on several notable projects, including the recent expansion of the Muskoka Bay Resort and the expansion of the Toronto District Christian High School. In 2017, Tilt Wall built Ontario's first pop-up residence, the Overbeek Residence.
Concrete Walls Cost
Tilt Wall has a strong reputation for designing and building buildings of lasting beauty and value. During this year, the company was recognized as a leading force in the construction industry. Tilt Wall received the 2017 TCA Annual Tilt-Up Achievement Award for its work at Broadview Public School in Ottawa and won the 2015 Ontario Concrete Award for custom concrete products for its Ontario office.
Backed by Tilt Wall's expertise, it uses the same techniques and processes to deliver visually stunning, sustainable, modern homes.
Upslope homes are ideal because it can reduce construction time and costs and result in homes that are more sustainable than ICF, wood and steel homes. In addition, concrete houses are built using Tilt Wall Ontario's award-winning techniques. There are many things to consider when choosing your next home. Among the many factors, your home must be sustainable – it is a place you plan to live in for many years. It has to be sustainable – you want to reduce your energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint. You don't have to wait months to move in, and your new home should fit within your budget. It is not easy to meet these requirements, but a concrete house meets all these criteria and more.
Lean-to construction was invented in the early 1900s, and many of the first lean-to buildings still exist today. This is mainly due to the concrete's durability. It is not vulnerable to termites or other insect attacks, and it will not rot over time, shrink, expand or warp due to moisture or temperature extremes. Concrete is also very strong and durable and requires minimal maintenance. Houses built with traditional building materials have many disadvantages that shorten their lifespan. For example, wooden frame houses are a breeding ground for termites. They require annual inspections and regular preventative measures, and if an infestation occurs, permanent damage can threaten the structural integrity of the home.
Concrete Construction: Concrete Tilt Up & Masonry Block
Concrete houses are highly resistant to physical damage from natural disasters and weather. They have the fire resistance of all building materials – concrete does not burn or emit toxic smoke and fumes. Other materials are also not suitable. In ICF houses, polystyrene blocks are highly flammable. Houses with a metal frame have a low fire rating, while houses with a wooden frame have a fire rating of only 45 minutes.
Additionally, concrete houses can withstand winds of up to 250 miles per hour, and they can withstand the force of wind-borne debris. This is especially useful for homeowners who live in harsh climates.
On the upside, concrete houses emit about 10% more CO2 during construction than log houses. However, the energy efficiency over the life of the home makes up for it. A concrete house can reduce energy use by around 30%. This is due to the strong building shell of the house and the thermal mass of the concrete, which makes it easier to maintain the internal temperature without much heating and cooling.
On average, sloped concrete costs $225 per square foot. By comparison, a wood-frame house costs $300 per square meter; ICF housing and steel frame cost $345 and $350 per square foot, respectively. Concrete houses are cheaper because the leaning construction process uses significantly fewer materials and labor hours than wood, ICF or steel.
When Do Concrete And Tilt Up Construction Make More Sense Than Steel Buildings?
Steel and timber houses require a lot of manual on-site assembly, while ICF construction requires the work of several specialist trades. Lean-to construction is greatly simplified – cranes are used to assemble the exterior and interior wall panels (instead of manual assembly), and electrical and plumbing are embedded in the concrete (instead of drawing special cuts later). This reduces the overall process to 3-4 months, where wood, steel and ICF houses can take 6-12 months.
Also, concrete is produced locally in Ontario, so the price is relatively stable. Other materials are subject to exchange rates and market fluctuations.
The three most common causes of exterior wall maintenance are peeling paint, termites and rot. Concrete does not suffer from these problems. Concrete homes often contain exterior finishes or liners that last longer than paint. Also concrete

Le lac La Plata, en , est un lac situé dans la province de Chubut, en Patagonie argentine.

Le lac, de forme allongée, se trouve dans la Cordillère des Andes et forme avec le Fontana une petite chaîne de deux lacs, lesquels sont à la naissance du Río Senguerr. Ces deux lacs ont une orientation franchement ouest-est, et sont situés à plus ou moins  d'altitude, occupant un territoire en forme de doigt de gant à l'intérieur du territoire chilien. Le lac la Plata, le plus occidental des deux, déverse ses eaux dans le lac Fontana tout proche et situé à l'est de celui-ci.

À l'extrémité orientale du lac Fontana, le Río Senguerr va prendre naissance en tant qu'émissaire de leurs eaux communes. L'émissaire du lac la Plata qui est aussi le tributaire principal du lac Fontana porte le nom de « Río Unión », mais c'est en fait une simple section du cours supérieur du Río Senguerr.

La longueur des rives du lac est de 97 kilomètres.

Burges Gets First Win as they Beat Ysleta 24-14
High Schools, HS Football / By monstermedina / Burges Mustangs, Henry Reyna, Ysleta Indians
The matchup between the visiting Ysleta Indians against the Burges Mustangs seemed to be balanced on paper. Ysleta who has had a roller coaster start to their season picked up their first win last week against Bowie while Burges was looking to get their first notch in the win column. The game turned out to be one of the most memorable ones in the history of their rivalry which dates back to 1955.
The game started with Ysleta having the first drive of the game which resulted in a punt. Burges capitalized in their lengthy opening drive by finishing it off with an important field goal. The Mustangs would lead 3-0 after one quarter of play.
Ysleta struggled in their second possession which resulted in a turnover and was capped off with a Burges touchdown. Andrew Routledge led an impressive drive that concluded with a 17yd td pass to Adrian Gomez.
The Mustang lead was 10-0. On the ensuing kickoff, a muffed ball by the Indians was turned over inside the goal line which allowed Burges to potentially blow this game open. A few game times seconds later, Routledge would connect on a 6yd td pass to Alec Herrera to give Burges a 17-0 halftime lead over Ysleta.
The second half Ysleta team was not the first half Ysleta team by their performance on the field. The Indians came out with an impressive scoring drive that put the visitors on the board after a 65yd dump pass from Evan Martinez to Arath Gomez. Ysleta was down 17-7.
The Ysleta defense came out with a new aggressive style that gave Burges a hard time. After a few possessions by each team, Burges put up a touchdown in the closing seconds of the third quarter. Routledge would score on a 17yd touchdown run and push the Mustang lead 24–7.
In the final quarter of the game, the Ysleta offense came to life as Burges attempted to control the game clock. Evan Martinez would throw a 41yd touchdown pass to A.J. Rodriguez and would narrow the Mustang lead 24-14.
After another quick possession by Burges, Ysleta quickly found themselves on a scoring drive that concluded with Martinez throwing to Rodriguez with a 6yd end zone pass. After the point after attempt, Burges led by 3 points.
Ysleta managed to stop the Mustangs again with under a minute to go. But the game would not end with an Ysleta win as a miscue on the snap of the final play of the game left the Indians with no time left on the clock. The Burges would win 24-21 and get their first win of the season.
After the game, Burges Coach Neil Routledge talked about the win:
The Mustangs next opponent will be the visiting Hanks while Ysleta hosts Ft. Stockton.
