The Roeper School dance program incorporates the philosophy set forth by the Consortium of National Arts Education Associations, of which the National Dance Association is a member, that education in the arts is for all students, regardless of their backgrounds, talents or abilities. As many teachers can testify, the arts can be a powerful vehicle – sometimes the best vehicle – for reaching, motivating and inspiring students. In designing a dance program for gifted students, emphasis is placed upon exploration, inquiry, creativity and personalization. At all levels of the program, students learn the principles of dance composition and engage in collaborative work. This focus on the creation and performance of student- choreographed dances is a cornerstone of the Roeper dance program.
Every child in Stage I and II takes Creative Movement class, where their natural love of running, walking, jumping, skipping, galloping, crawling, falling and rolling is explored and celebrated. Children discover that everyday movements can be combined to create dances that tell stories and express ideas. Classroom work also emphasizes cooperation, sharing, taking turns and following verbal and visual instruction. Students in Stage II may supplement Creative Movement class with Free Choice Performing Arts, where they use dance, drama, mime, story-telling, puppet theatre and talent shows to express themselves creatively in a safe and nurturing environment.
Dance is an elective in Stages III and IV, where students may choose Creative Movement class, Dance Performance or the disciplines of yoga and tai chi. Students with a passion for dance and movement come together in a fertile environment where they feel safe taking risks, where there is a sense of adventure and imagination, where new ideas and creative solutions are explored, and where originality is fostered. They improvise, create and perform dances based on their own artistic vision, use critical thinking skills to solve movement problems, teach others their compositions, combine each other's work, and present their dances to the Roeper community. An after-school dance enrichment program is offered to disciplined and motivated Stage III and IV dance students who wish to develop their technical skills. As members of the Lower School Dance Ensemble, these students study ballet and modern dance, and perform with Middle and Upper School dance students at an informal concert during the winter and a Spring Dance Concert at the end of the school year.
Dance at the Middle and Upper School is a year-long elective incorporating the elements of technique, improvisation, choreography, creative problem-solving, collaboration, critical analysis, dance safety, dance history and performance. Through consistent practice and dedication, students develop proficiency in the modern dance technique of Lester Horton. In addition, ballet, lyrical, contact improvisation, jazz, hip hop, yoga, tai chi and cultural dance are integrated into classroom work. As members of either the Roeper Dance Ensemble or the more technically-adept Repertory Dance Theatre, students use both their technique and their artistic vision to create individual or collaborative dances to present in performance to the Roeper community. Middle and Upper School dancers are challenged to learn more complex dance sequences and performance pieces choreographed by their teacher or other dance professionals. An Independent Study Program is provided to students who desire to work in areas beyond the context of a group class environment and to engage in more frequent one-on-one exchanges with the dance instructor. Students are provided with opportunities to study with guest teachers, to attend concerts by professional dance touring companies, to attend lecture-demonstrations and to participate in dance camps and workshops. The dance program at Roeper embraces the creative spirit of every child and provides a supportive environment for skill development and self-expression.

Working with Internationals
A view on diversity from an international experienced leader
Categorie: Practical information
My name is Chantal Meeuwisse and I have been working as a Nordic & Baltic's CFO for an international pharmaceutical company.
I am Dutch by nationality but I have lived abroad for over 11 year, of which 7 years in Switzerland and the last 4 years in Sweden.
Before starting my international journey, I used to work for international companies in the Netherlands. Ever since I started my first job, the company's business language was English. This already helped me in creating my "international view". But it was only when I was offered the opportunity to move abroad that I realized the full potential of diversity.
Having international experience myself by working in 3 different countries, it exposed me a lot to the topic of diversity. I started to realize, while I was climbing the career ladder, that this brought an interesting dimension to day to day work and that I started to embrace more and more the differences.
Different doesn't mean worse, it's just like the word says: different.
As a result people might have different point of views due to cultural background, education, work experience, religion etc.
As a leader we all need to deal with personal biases and prejudices that are out there. Therefore patience and listening to people is something that is key combined with dignity and respect.
Diversity is not only about different sexes or people from different cultures, it's also about different personalities and how to best let them collaborate together.
Me being an extroverted leader, had to learn that my introverted team members and staff have a different way of articulating their opinion. It's important that even though topics were discussed during overall meetings, to go back to certain employees to see what their thoughts were, if they didn't express it during a meeting.
Diversity is for me also about skill set and collaboration: some are extremely good in e.g. working with excel, while others on the team aren't. But by having profound people on the team that are willing to collaborate on passing on their knowledge, everybody is benefiting and motivation increases.
In addition it is also about different job responsibilities. Helping team members understand the variety of tasks everybody is doing on the team, is benefiting the whole team so people truly understand the impact of their activities and others. This to the grasp the bigger picture and let them understand how their work fits in. As a result the team is greater than the sum of its parts. Next to creating this, empowerment is extremely important for me as a leader as well. It means enabling my team to develop and excel, by actively looking for opportunities to use their competence, helping others and making decisions on their own.
Last but not least, diversity is also related to curiosity for me. What do others do or say? How do they structure their work or thinking? Why are we doing things in a certain way? Is there something that I have not looked at, that could be helpful? Because different ideas and experiences, lead to growth and innovation. Stimulating this curiosity in the day to day work of my team members is one of my key focus areas.
As mentioned, diversity for me as a leader is about embracing differences and being open for new, unexpected things. When recruiting for my team in Sweden, I have attracted a lot of diverse talents that helped to build the team. Undutchables has been an important stakeholder for me in order to find this diverse, international talent, by having personal interviews that look beyond people's resume and also focuses on a fit for the company and the team.
Therefore let's all stay curious together and embrace the fact that we are all different!

The Nicolet National Forest encompasses 360,000 hectares of mixed hardwood-conifer forests, lowland swamps, glacial lakes, and wetlands in northeastern Wisconsin. It comprises the eastern portion of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, with headquarters in Rhinelander and Park Falls, Wisconsin. NNF The Bird Survey takes place each year during the second weekend in June. Everyone with an interest in birds and a desire for adventure is invited to participate in the Bird Survey. Volunteers work in small groups led by at least one expert in bird song identification. Computerized results are used to guide forest management policies and have been the subject of numerous scientific research articles and master's theses. Results also provide visitors with information about habitat preferences and "hot-spots" for northern Wisconsin's bird species.
This searchable database is designed to assist in the identification of bird eggs for species that breed in Wisconsin and nearby states. Resources include color photographs of eggs, descriptions of nests and clutch size, egg measurements, and breeding distribution maps. Species nomenclature follows the most recent Checklist of North American Birds published by the American Ornithologists' Union. Images and descriptions are available for 250 species, including a few that breed in neighboring states and are likely to breed in Wisconsin and one extinct species (the Passenger Pigeon) that formerly bred Wisconsin.
The Birder Certification Online program provides a rigorous method for verifying field identification skills of both professional and non-professional bird observers. A major goal is to help validate the integrity of bird inventory and monitoring projects by improving and documenting birder identification skills. The program also provides an educational tool for students and recreational birders of all skill levels. Birder Certification Online is a project of the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, with funding and collaboration from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Home Education A Hybrid Approach to Mic'ing Acoustic Guitars
A Hybrid Approach to Mic'ing Acoustic Guitars
Stand- or boom-mounted mics rarely work well for acoustic guitar players in a live sound environment. And the tone from internal pick-ups can leave a lot to be desired. Here's a hybrid approach for sound engineers.
by John Spicer
microphone on acoustic guitar in a live worship environmnet
It's difficult to rely on a player's ability to keep a consistent physical relationship (distance) between microphone and guitar in order to present a consistent tone and level. Therefore, you rarely see this approach (above) to mic'ing acoustic guitars in a live sound or worship environment, unless the player is seated.
You can find many articles on the selection and placement of microphones for church productions. So there's lot of good information on how to mic vocals, pianos, guitar amps etc. However, one area that seems to lack attention is how to treat acoustic guitars in live productions.
Now, in fairness, this is likely due to a variety of reasons, as there tend to be difficulties mic'ing acoustic guitars. Stand- or boom-mounted mics rarely work well for players and worship leaders in a live sound environment. To do so relies on the player's ability to keep a consistent physical relationship between microphone and guitar in order to present a consistent tone and level. Stage volume and amplification requirements may make it particularly difficult for the microphone to capture enough usable sound without causing excessive bleed or feedback issues. Issues like these are why we generally use an acoustic guitar's internal pickups as a direct input to the PA through a DI box, etc. While this is a very dependable and easy solution, one downside is that the mix engineer is generally limited on the tone provided by the guitar
The down side to relying on the acoustic guitar's pickups is the mix engineer is much more limited to the tone provided by the guitar.
There is, however, a middle ground between using a DI and using a microphone--one that delivers a lot more flexibility for the sound engineer. It's a multi-input hybrid approach that makes use of both a direct input patch (from the onboard guitar pickups) as well as a microphone. This is not a new concept and is one that is widely used with acoustic guitars in recording studios. The end result is really quite similar to a common approach for mic'ing electric guitars and basses. These instruments often use two inputs--one from the guitar's or bass's direct input and the other bringing in a signal from an amplifier or processor. This allows the operator to mix the signals together (properly time-aligned, of course), shaping the tone and characteristic as needed.
acoustic guitar microphone from Audio-Technica
A hybrid mic'ing approach--mixing the signals from an internal pick-up with that of an external microphone--is highly flexible and makes it easier to get to the overall sound that you want. The Audio-Technica ATM350a condenser cardioid mic with the AT8491GL acoustic instrument mount is available for $349 MSRP.
Using this hybrid approach with an acoustic guitar allows the mix engineer to not only control and shape the tone of the instrument, but to do so without compromising on bleed or feedback. For instance, mixing in smaller amounts of sound from the mic can provide better definition and clarity to the direct signal without the need to open the mic up enough [to] create problems. Additionally, other creative options exist for hybrid mic'ing techniques. One idea would be to use one of the signals strictly for reinforcement and use the other signal as a source for effects, such as reverbs or delays, creating more complex textures in your mix.
Manufacturers are also thinking of solutions for acoustic guitar, and numerous options are available. Recently, Audio-Technica released a new mounting system for its ATM350a microphone that makes using this technique on acoustic guitars fairly straightforward. The ATM350a is a small cardioid condenser microphone that is well suited for mic'ing acoustic instruments. The new AT8491G mounting system gently clamps onto a guitar body and makes use of a small gooseneck, allowing you to place the microphone where you want it in order to get the best tone for your application, whether it be down by the sound hole or somewhere closer to the neck. And since this system directly attaches to the body of the guitar, the player or worship leader doesn't even have to be concerned with trying to keep their positioning or distance consistent to a mic stand. It's a win-win.
Hybrid mic'ing approaches like this are highly flexible, and they make it easier to get to the overall sound that you want. And with manufacturers jumping in with new tools to simplify the process, it's becoming easier and more affordable to try it out.
Update at 4:50 PM Eastern, Feb 5, 2019: The Audio-Technica ATM350a condenser cardioid mic and AT8491GL acoustic instrument mount package price was updated. A previous version of the article stated an incorrect retail package price.

Just a comment on the picture
It may help in the picture if they use the side address microphone properly and not as a front address microphone. As they have it setup, the AT2020 is pointing towards the bass drum. Just sayin...

Time Alignment...
How do you time align a Mic with the internal pickup? A Mic just two inches away will be in phase at lower frequencies but out of phase at higher ones.
Church Tech 168 days ago
Re: Time Alignment ...
Great question. With respect to your observation of interplay between frequency and time alignment there are many things to consider to include how you are using the inputs and how you may have EQ'd them. In many cases I might use the DI for body and warmth but use the mic input for articulation and presence, dumping most of the low end from the mic input. In that case if you were to do some alignment it would likely look different than if you were looking for a different tonal combination. As with most things audio wise, the correct answer is to do what sounds best for your application, whether that mic be super close or further away. Time alignment was mentioned in the article so as to acknowledge that this is a consideration to keep in mind. Truthfully you may find that it sounds good enough without any alignment and to just keep on trucking. Alternatively you may want to tweak it to get something special you are looking for specifically.

"Because you didn't have to speak English to dig coal", many Italian immigrants were recruited by the coal companies to do extraction work as the coal industry soared in the early 1900's. In preparation for the long hours spent in the mines, wives would make sure to pack their husband's lunch pail with a hearty bread and pepperoni. Eventually, this evolved into the Pepperoni Roll, which can still be found throughout Kentucky and West Virginia in towns where mining was prevalent. This dinner is all about honoring those among us with Italian descent with traditional Italian dishes and stories from the 'Old Country".

The order of power, in magic and prayer, is thought-word-deed. A thought has power, and so I use many visualizations. Words add more power, so I suggest you offer your mantra of surrender aloud. Deed, makes it stronger yet.
One good way to release issues and karmic emotional baggage, is to write it out on paper and burn it up. Best to write longhand, with pen and paper, instead of keyboard and printer. It is more personal, and more complete, there is not a copy of it left on your hard drive... which there would be, even if you delete the file. Writing out your issues, or drawing them and giving them to the fire is a good thought-word-deed ritual of surrender.
I suggest you get a good, fireproof container to be your vessel for burnt offerings. A metal wastepaper basket will do, but my preference is a pretty stamped brass plant holder, such as you can pick up at most craft stores, florists, garden centers, or any store that sells brass knick-knacks. Get a mid sized one, large enough to safely burn a few crumpled sheets of paper discreetly without the flame showing above the container, or the ashes blowing around, and make sure it has no holes in the bottom. Decorative holes on the sides are OK.
That way, even if you live in an apartment you can have a discreet little burning vessel on your balcony for karmic release. Keep a plant in it most of the time and take the plant out on the nights when you have something to burn, and nobody will know you are using it as a magical cauldron of surrender.
Ceramic plant pots can work too, so long as they do not get hot enough to crack... and sometimes a ritually charged paper can really burn hot!
If you have a fireplace, use it! Just be sure to sweep it out and dispose of the ashes by ritually spreading them on a lawn or garden.
As you light fire to the paper you have prepared, speak aloud your intent to release that which is being burnt, and give thanks for it being taken. Stand downwind so you do not inhale the smoke of it burning. Try not to let the smoke be inhaled by your neighbors, either. Note which way the wind blows, before you begin.
When it is completely burnt and the ashes are cold, scatter them to the wind or spread them on the earth, garden or grass.
A related method, is to hold a taper candle in your hands, and focus on releasing the energy into it, then burn it down to nothing. This can be used as a method of release, or as a focus for meditation.
If it is a large, ongoing issue, then having a seven-day candle burning in a jar will continually remind you of the issue, bring up related issues and with your intentions, send them all into the candle flame. It can also be used to remind you to do affirmations.

Application of Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Materials in Micro Motors (2)
High-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials can meet the requirements of micro permanent magnet motors. The use of high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials, especially neodymium iron boron permanent magnet materials in micro-permanent magnet motors is the development direction in recent years and a later period, and there have been many successful applications at home and abroad. This article comprehensively introduces these application examples.
5. Rare earth permanent magnet micromotors used in information equipment
In order to meet the needs of high-precision and miniaturization of information equipment such as cameras, camcorders, and printers, Canon of Japan introduced the CAM series of rare-earth permanent magnet micro stepping motors. It overcomes the sharp drop in power and deteriorating efficiency of electromagnetic motors after their size is small The shortcomings of it have the characteristics of large power-to-volume ratio, simple structure and easy mass production. The structure design is very ingenious. Two coils clamp the two ends of the rare earth permanent magnet as the rotor. The left and right stators are made into another shape and form the magnetic poles of the stepping motor, which are fixed by a non-magnetic material shell. The magnetization phases of the stators at both ends are different by half a step, and the direction of current supplied to the stator coils at both ends is alternately switched to form a rotating stepping magnetic field, which makes the rotor rotate. The coaxial structure is conducive to the effective use of the magnetic flux of the coil, and the space is compact and easy to assemble. At the same time, the diameter of the magnet is as large as possible and the output torque is improved. Japan's Fuji Electric Research Institute has developed an axial gap type rare earth permanent magnet electromagnetic micromotor. The magnetic film thickness of the rotor is 2.5m. It adopts thin 4-pole magnetization and is made by sputtering technology. The paired with this is a 6-pole thin film stator. The use of planar laminated film winding coils well overcomes the difficulty of processing micro-coils with high requirements and difficulty in mass processing.
6. Application of rare earth permanent magnet linear motors on machine tools
With the rapid development of electronic technology, the emergence of high-speed, multi-functional or dedicated microprocessors, signal processors and high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials, linear motors, especially rare earth permanent magnet linear motors, have developed rapidly. Its applications are constantly expanding. High-speed and ultra-high-speed precision machining developed in order to improve production efficiency and improve the processing quality of parts has now become a major trend in the development of machine tools. The use of linear motors has changed the "rotating motor + mechanical conversion link (such as roller screw, rack and pinion, etc.)" mode of the transmission, which has increased the processing speed, reduced the processing noise, simple maintenance, good reliability, and has High transmission accuracy and positioning accuracy; the use of DC motor as the transmission device can simplify the structure of the machine tool, establish a new machine tool layout, and may enable the machine tool to realize a new principled process, thereby realizing high-precision, high-speed processing of special-shaped sections. There is a rare earth permanent magnet DC AC servo motor system used on CNC machine tools. The motor is a single-sided flat plate, and the stator (bed) is alternately installed with NdFeB permanent magnets along the stroke direction.
The mover is the workbench, and the armature windings and Hall sensor elements are correspondingly installed below it. The mover is supported by the guide rails on both sides to ensure the air gap size. A linear grating is fixed on one side of the guide rail. Among them, the Hall sensor element is used for armature current commutation, and the DC grating is used for measuring the displacement of power. The resolution of the DC grating directly determines the position control accuracy of the system, and its measurement speed determines the maximum speed of the power. After the three-phase symmetrical sinusoidal current is passed through the three-phase winding of the motor mover, the air gap magnetic field is generated. When the end effect is not considered, it can be regarded as a sinusoidal distribution along the unfolding direction. When the three-phase current changes with time, the air gap magnetic field will translate along a straight line in a certain phase sequence, which is called a traveling wave magnetic field. The excitation magnetic field of the permanent magnet interacts with the traveling wave magnetic field to generate electromagnetic thrust, so that the mover moves in a straight line in the direction opposite to the traveling wave magnetic field.
7. Rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motor for elevator drive
Elevators are an indispensable means of transportation for high-rise buildings. With the expansion of the scale of buildings, higher requirements are put forward for the speed control accuracy and speed range of elevators. Safety and reliability, comfortable riding, low energy consumption, low noise, good electromagnetic compatibility, and remote monitoring are the standards for measuring the performance of modern elevators. Multi-variety, intelligent and green environmental protection will be the development direction of elevators. The core part of the elevator is its drive system. The elevator drive system controls the starting acceleration, steady-speed operation and braking deceleration of the elevator, and its performance directly affects the elevator's starting braking, acceleration and deceleration, leveling accuracy, and riding comfort. Due to the particularity of the use occasion, the elevator drive motor should have performance requirements such as low vibration, low noise, low starting current, sufficient starting torque and smooth operation.
Permanent magnet synchronous motors have the advantages of small torque ripple, stable speed, fast and accurate dynamic response, strong overload capacity, high efficiency and energy saving, and low noise. They have become the new favorite of today's elevator industry. In recent years, with the advancement of rare earth permanent magnet materials and permanent magnet motor technology, the development and production of rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motors for use in elevator drive mechanisms has attracted more and more attention from the elevator industry at home and abroad. The typical structure of a rare earth permanent magnet synchronous motor is that the eight large teeth of high-quality silicon steel are punched into the stator and rotor with evenly distributed small teeth. The stator core is laminated to form the stator core: the rotor core is manufactured by bonding technology, and the rotor It is composed of three pieces of misaligned iron cores and two high-performance annular NdFeB permanent magnets. After the rotor is processed, it is magnetized under a strong magnetic field to make the magnet reach a sufficient magnetic saturation state. Considering that the axial magnetic flux will not leak from the shaft after the rotor is magnetized, the motor shaft is generally made of non-magnetic stainless steel. Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation first used permanent magnet synchronous motors on high-speed elevator traction machines; KONE developed the EcoDiso permanent disk type gearless traction machine, which was applied to machine room elevators. The GENZ system launched by OTIS has developed an O100m permanent magnet gearless traction machine. The Wittur Group of Germany, Abit Corporation, and Montanari Giulio of Italy have all launched their own permanent magnet synchronous electric traction machines.
8. Small brushless motors and slotless motors
American AMETEK company has expanded its compact brushless motor series with a diameter of 4.318cm. This series of brushless motors have two types: 8-pole l2 slot and 4-pole 6-slot. The no-load speed can reach 15000r/min, the locked-rotor torque is ~0.056N·m, and the input voltage is customized according to l2, 24 and 36V. The standard design of this series of motors uses Hall-effect elements and rare earth permanent magnets to realize electronically controlled commutation and reduce pulsating torque, cogging torque, high current torque and demagnetization effects caused by high current: at the same time, it is equipped with a sealed speed Controller to achieve rapid speed increase and decrease.
The Mexon type high-speed brushless motor introduced by Interelectic AG of Switzerland has a size of 22×62.5mm, a speed of 50000r/min, and a power of 50W. It uses NdFeB permanent magnets and the windings are connected in a triangle or star shape. It can be equipped with a reducer, Gears, etc., the efficiency reaches 82%. Using low-cost slotted design technology and high-performance bonded NdFeB magnets, ElcomST has developed a brushless DC motor with a continuous torque output of 0.34N·m, a speed of 8000r/min, and a power output of 188W. The brush design helps to achieve high speed and fast acceleration, high continuous torque, low noise, anti-electromagnetic interference, and long life. This type of motor is mainly used in medical treatment, computer peripherals, tape drives, pump compressors, office automation, and any occasions that require precise control of the speed.
The slotless brushless DC motor developed by the American EAD company adopts slotless stator winding and rotor structure in structure, so there is no cogging torque and vibration. The stator uses high-density copper and is installed in a toothless stator ring: the rotor uses high-performance NdFeB permanent magnets, which reduces core loss, increases power, and maximizes torque/weight, and smaller windings The inductance reduces the voltage loss of the control electronics. The outer diameter of the motor is 035~147ram, the speed is 5000r/rain, and the torque constant is greater than 4.1N·m.

Thirayuth Boonmee (, ; born 10 January 1950) is a Thai public intellectual and a former student activist.

Student leader
While a student at Chulalongkorn University in 1973, Thirayuth led the National Student Center of Thailand (NSCT) in coordinating political activism against the military dictatorship of Thanom Kittikachorn and Praphas Charusathien. The NSCT led tens of thousands in public protests against the regime. One of the earlier activities of the NSCT had been a 10-day boycott against Japanese products, in protest against Japanese investments in Thailand.

On 6 October 1973, Thirayuth and 12 other student activists were arrested by the Praphas government for sedition after they distributed leaflets demanding a new constitution. Rumors spread that they had been killed, which sparked massive anti-government protests. The demonstrations reached their peak on 13 October, when about 400,000 protesters gathered in front of the Democracy Monument and the parliament building. That afternoon, Thirayuth and the other students were released, and the king approved plans to draft a new constitution within 12 months.

Thirayuth also played a role in exposing the Internal Security Operations Command's role in a massacre of villagers at Ban Na Sai village in the northeast.

After the student massacre at Thammasat University on 6 October 1976, Thirayuth, as well as many other students and intellectuals fled from the cities to take refuge with the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) in its jungle strongholds. Thirayuth increasingly became critical of the king, noting in a broadcast on 1 April 1977 that the monarchy was "obsolete and deteriorating", and that "I think that if our people were to destroy it, there would be no adverse effects". After the CPT dissolved itself in the early-1980s, Thirayuth returned to the mainstream of Thai intellectual life, renouncing socialism and rejecting his anti-monarchical statements.

Contemporary activism
Thirayuth earned a PhD in political science in the US, then returned to Thailand. For many years he has taught in the Faculty of Sociology of Thammasat University. In 1997, he was named one of Thailand's ten most influential public intellectuals.

DOE Authorizes American LNG Marketing Export Application
By Brad Kramer August 7, 2015 View Profile
The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a final authorization to American LNG Marketing LLC to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas to countries without a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. American LNG is authorized to export LNG up to the equivalent of 8 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas for a period of 20 years from the liquefaction facility located near Medley, Florida, in Miami-Dade County, using approved ISO LNG containers.
The development of U.S. natural gas resources is having a transformative impact on the U.S. energy landscape, helping to improve our energy security while spurring economic development and job creation around the country, according to the Aug. 7 DOE announcement. This increase in domestic natural gas production is expected to continue, with the Energy Information Administration forecasting a record average production rate of 79.06 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2015.
Federal law generally requires approval of natural gas exports to countries that have a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. For countries that do not, the Natural Gas Act directs the DOE to grant export authorizations unless the Department finds that the proposed exports "will not be consistent with the public interest."
The Energy Department conducted an extensive, careful review of the American LNG application. Among other factors, the department considered the economic, energy security and environmental impacts and determined that exports at a rate of up to 8 MMcf/d for a period of 20 years was not inconsistent with the public interest.
The full final authorization for American LNG can be found department's website.
The Energy Department will continue to act on applications to export LNG from the lower 48 states after completion of the review required by the National Environmental Policy Act, and when DOE has sufficient information on which to base a public interest determination. During this time, the department will continue to monitor any market developments and assess their impact in subsequent public interest determinations as further information becomes available.

" Gonzaga students Dan McIntosh and Erik Fagan have now acquired their weapons that were taken from them by campus security four hours after they fended off a home intruder on October 24th. Weapons any place on the G.U. campus or at any university residence is prohibited. McIntosh said that they did not know they could pick them up immediately until KHQ informed them of an e-mail we received from the university stating that they could have their guns back. The only restriction was that the students had to move the weapons off campus to a non-university residence which would be in compliance with the weapons policy.
The Gonzaga students have received probation rather than expulsion , here here … and now they've had their weapons returned as well , but unless they move they are now defenseless as the guns may not be kept in their University owned apartment . On the other hand the incident has prompted the University authorities to question their firearms policy and they vow to review them with possible changes to come .
Be sure to check out the comments section after reading the article as there is quite a lively debate taking place , with the vast majority supporting the student's rights to self-defense and for those interested in the debate and certain assertions made by some of the commenters to the effect that the school firearms prohibition policy DOES NOT apply to off campus housing here is a link to the Student Handbook in PDF format .
" The presence and use of weapons on campus presents a potential threat to the safety of all community members. Use or display of weapons may result in threat or injury to self or others. Use or display of weapons, whether intentional or not, is generally inconsistent with the University's Ethos Statement and may be illegal.
The code would seem to be quite ambiguous concerning off-campus housing , university owned or not . There are two references to weapons prohibitions and they both very explicitly speak of "ON CAMPUS" locations . The code does not specifically mention off campus housing at all .
Given the above reading of the student handbook the students would seem to have acted well within their rights and have the facts to prevail in court . However , considering the fact that both Mr Fagan and Mr McIntosh are barely a semester from graduation we can understand their anxiousness to be done with the entire affair .
" A pair of Gonzaga students feel they are being unfairly punished after they used a legal handgun to defend themselves against a convicted felon at their university owned apartment, which, according to reports is off the university campus.
