David Emilio Mainz Navarro (born 21 June 1985) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Borja as a forward.

Club career
Born in Sádaba, Province of Zaragoza, Mainz made his senior debuts with SD Ejea in the 2004–05 season, in Tercera División. He first arrived in Segunda División B in 2010, signing with CD La Muela also in his native Aragon.

On 9 July 2011, Mainz joined fellow league team SD Eibar. In his second year he scored 11 goals in the regular season (plus two in the play-offs), helping the Basque side to return to Segunda División after a four-year absence.

On 29 May 2013, Mainz announced he was moving to Club Jorge Wilstermann from Bolivia, being presented on 9 July. On 23 January of the following year, however, he returned to both his country and Eibar.

Mainz appeared in his first game as a professional on 1 February 2014, starting in a 1–0 home win against UD Las Palmas. He appeared in 13 matches during the campaign, as the Armeros were promoted to La Liga for the first time ever.

On 11 July 2014, Mainz terminated his contract with Eibar and moved to Greek Football League side Athlitiki Enosi Larissa F.C. six days later. On 14 December, however, he returned to his home country and signed for SD Huesca in the third level.

Mercedes-Benz and Audi are arguably two of the most luxurious auto manufacturers in the world. They are most well-known for their sedans, but as SUVs and crossover vehicles continue to grow in popularity, these two German car companies continue to prove their value with new designs and dynamic driving experiences. When it comes to the GLA and the Q3, they are both great vehicles, but only one can be the best.
A quick lap around the outside will show you that the GLA is slightly longer and has a longer wheelbase despite its status as the smallest SUV in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The Q3 is a couple inches taller, which will provide you with a little extra head room, but it also means sacrificing handling and efficiency numbers.
Both of these cars will provide you with a decade of satisfaction, but when you dig deeper into the details, there are a lot of reason to go with the Mercedes-Benz over the Audi. First, the GLA offers more horsepower and more torque for roughly the same MSRP. It is also lighter than the Q3, making it more efficient and faster overall.
To help put this power to the ground, the Mercedes-Benz GLA features a dual-clutch 7-speed transmission. These types of transmissions are usually reserved for supercars, but the GLA wears it well. The Audi Q3 has an old-fashioned six-speed transmission and does not come with as many extra options as the Mercedes-Benz. If you have any questions about why your next compact SUV should be the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA, come see us today for a test drive!

The goal, from the planners' perspective, is creating a dense grid of streets with many options to get in, out of and around the neighborhood, instead of one main thoroughfare that leads to a series of cul-de-sacs. Picture a network of streets like uptown or Dilworth, that offer a wide range of potential routes through an area.
@ESPortillo Bingo. Parents love cul-de-sacs.
— Joe Padilla (@REBIC) December 19, 2016
Planners and urban designers think that's preferable to the thoroughfare and cul-de-sac plans that much of suburban Charlotte is laid out along. In that design, a few thoroughfares such as Providence Road, Rea Road, Sardis Road and Randolph Road typically end up absorbing most of the traffic into and out of neighborhoods, especially at rush hour. People are forced onto the main thoroughfares even for short trips because there's no other way out.
But people in many existing neighborhoods hate the idea of opening up their subdivision to more cars and connections. They fear their streets will become cut-throughs, with drivers barreling through on their way from Point A to Point B. They worry about increased traffic making it unsafe for kids – especially when the existing neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks. And they worry that crime will go up, as criminals have easier access points and "escape routes."
"We just don't need lots more traffic," a local resident told city council during a hearing about a possible new site for Harbor Baptist Church near I-485 and Harrisburg Road. "I'm placing the safety of my two seven-year-old grandchildren in the hands of all of you."
Planning staff want to see Saddlehorse Lane extended to connect to local streets, instead of dead-ending. Opposition to a new street connection also cropped up in northwest Charlotte, in the new Riverbend development near Brookshire and I-485, where Corning Optical is building a new headquarters and developers are planning to build more shops, apartments and a hotel.
@ESPortillo if *all* the streets are connected, each one bears much less of the "cut-thru" effect. but starting from 0 it's a tough sell
— Jared McKiernan (@jaredmckiernan) December 19, 2016
In both cases, local residents held up signs opposing the new connections and urging City Council to vote them down.
For the record, this issue is nothing new. Looking through the Observer's archives, I came across this headline from 2004: "Cut-throughs raise ruckus: Charlotte residents fight planners over connecting roads from one community to next. Through-traffic riles residents; City says dead-ends crowd roads."
"Everyone believes in this until it comes to their neighborhood," said then-Mayor Pat McCrory, a supporter of increasing connections. "In the political short term, blocking off a road makes a small group of people pleased. In the long term, it causes a transportation disaster."

My Reading List These Days
I am currently reading John Brockman's The Next Fifty Years: Science in the First Half of the Twenty-First Century, and I'm sure that will inspire some postings, so stay tuned. I'm also reading Elaine Morgan's The Descent of Woman (1982), and I hope to write some follow-up comments on that as well.
The Song Meme
The better the song, the better its chances of being replicated. If a song is no good, then not a whole lot of people will be interested in acquiring or passing it on. This does not imply quality, however. Instead, the most potent survival strategy that a song can possess is mass appeal (which can also be influenced by marketing and the artist's popularity). The best place to see this in practice is in MP3 file sharing. Some songs are easy to find over the Internet, while others remain elusive. Those songs that are easy to find have good survival/replicative strategies.
But past reward is no guarantee of future gain. As time passes, the artistic merit of a song is what keeps it alive. With the artist out of the limelight, and without any marketing tricks, a song will only remain popular if it's a good one. Thus, in the short-term, mass appeal is what's important, but if you want a long-term survival strategy, your song has to be a good one.
Another survival strategy that an MP3 can adopt is leeching off the name of a valid MP3. Some record companies, frustrated by MP3 file sharing, toss bogus songs into the MP3 meme pool that have the names of popular songs. MP3 traders inadvertently download and propagate these songs.
Future Music
One cannot help but be emotionally affected by a song. How a melody, key, or rhythm does this to our emotional state is still the cause of some mystery to me. I do believe, however, that a good melody is drug-like. Once we are familiar with a melody we can anticipate what's coming next while listening to the song, and that feels good (this explains why songs seem to get better with each listen). The anticipation, once rewarded by the actual linear passage of the melody, causes a positive emotional state in the listener (i.e. the pleasing melody causes a kind of transitory 'high' in the listener).
A great piece of music is one that takes the listener on an emotional journey. Artists hope to convey these emotional states through careful crafting of their compositions. This is quite transcendent; the artist is trying to evoke an emotional response in the listener. This is limited, however, by the 'emotional capabilities' of the listener; some people just cannot feel the proper highs and lows, or they are unable to properly decipher the emotional message as intended by the artist.
Imagine a future technology that could synchronize music to the emotional state of the listener. I've read some suggestions that future music will be composed and generated by the emotional state of the artist. But I've got a better idea: how about music that can manipulate the emotional state of the listener. By using some hand-waving technology, we could conceivably have music that taps into the emotional centers of our brain and cause a specific emotional response. For example, we could have a piece of music with sad, happy, playful, and frightening parts. The emotion-management technology would 'force' the listener to feel the emotional state as intended by the artist. Listeners could have absolutely sublime experiences. They could be thrust into feelings of despair and be slowly brought up until the climatic moments of bliss and ecstasy -- all synchronized to music. Imagine the potential 'trips' that listeners could take. [Note: In a way, rave culture has already tapped into this. Ravers take psychopharmaceuticals (such as ecstasy) to enhance and alter the emotional and perceptual experience of electronic music; a good spinner or electronic artist will try to tap into the emotional state of his audience].

Quantum Physics & Telepathy
Is there such a thing as telepathy? As I'm discovering, there are many people who believe so. There are a host of parapsychology departments and institutions that have been actively conducting experiments in mind-to-mind communication, precognition, and out-of-body experiences (aka 'remote viewing'). Psychedelics, it would appear, have an effect on consciousness that allow for such communication and observation (see Jean Millay's Multidimensional Mind). Additionally, Buddhism and other meditative philosophies have helped conceptualize and better facilitate these innate capabilities. (Thong Len may be another extension of this phenomenon).
Let's assume for a moment that these speculations are valid and that "telepathy" truly exists. How can we account for such a thing? Is there some sort of chemical transference between individuals? Is our body language conveying certain clues? Or is our science too primitive to explain it? These may partially explain the conundrum, but it does not sufficiently solve the puzzle. I thought about this, and I came up with a theory:
Yes, telepathy is theoretically possible. My consciousness is tied to both the physical and quantum realms. As I observe and measure the universe, it falls perfectly into place just for me (i.e. the observer forces the collapse of the wave function). The same thing happens to you, independent of my observations. We are all living in our own 'worlds,' and these 'worlds' are being revealed only to the specific observer; our personal-worlds are only as large as our observational field, and anything not observed is in a state of indeterminancy. For example, if we have a face to face conversation, everything behind me in my 'world' is in a state of unobserved indeterminancy, so it's not really there. But in your personal-universe, because you're looking at me and the world behind me, it has collapsed into a perceptually coherent world. Yet, I can interact with you. When we communicate, we are truly interfacing, but it only appears that we are in the same physical environment (or world). Thus, even though we can interact in the same room together, we are actually in our own physical worlds. So, the physical world is an illusion of sorts, or at the very least, it is one of our two environments. The other place we reside is the quantum dimension. Thus, by virtue of the fact that we can communicate and interact in the physical world (our interaction is not an illusion), our consciousness must be linked in the quantum environment.
Our verbal communication transpires in the physical world, but telepathic communication is conducted through the quantum dimension. Somehow, a consciousness that is in a telepathic link has tuned into another consciousness. It is a physical or cognitive state of the brain in the physical world that allows for this, and it would appear that psychedelic drugs and meditation help trigger these modes of consciousness. One way of looking at it is that a consciousness has tunneled through the quantum maze to get to another consciousness. It has tuned into the proper frequency.
I recently contacted Stuart Hameroff on this topic and asked him his opinion. He informed me that at the Quantum Mind Conference in 2003 there will be "compelling" evidence in favour of "telepathy." So, it would appear that I'm not the only one thinking along these lines. Another prominent thinker involved in this topic is Sir Roger Penrose (see his Shadows of the Mind and his discussion of microtubules). There are a host of people working on this issue at this time. I also e-mailed the quantum physicist David Deutsch, who is a telepathy skeptic, and have not received a response. Nor have I received a response from The Skeptics Society.
If this is all true about telepathy, what does it all mean? What does this mean to Transhumanists? Well, now I'm pretty sure that posthumans will have telepathy in the strong sense of the term, and possibly precognition. It may be achieved by future breakthroughs in psychopharmacology, neurology, or through advanced meditative technologies (or a combination of all three). How our relationships will change with each other and our place in the physical world is anybody's guess. I hope to write more on this particular topic in the near future.
I just finished listening to CBC's Quirks & Quarks. They had a special on about how we should react to first contact with an extra terrestrial civilization. It was a hard listen for many reasons, namely outdated science and an utter lack of imagination. I'm not sure that we can accurately speculate as to the nature of extra terrestrial life any more. I do not believe that aliens will arrive in spaceships, nor will they have any kind of political or cultural structure that we can relate to. I seriously doubt that we'll communicate via primitive radiowaves. It is unlikely that they will be organic or even humanoid; they would probably arrive as some kind of superintelligent machine consciousness, or in nanotechnological form (see Kurzweil, 1999), or even as a copy of themselves encoded in electromagnetic waves.
My point is this: extra terrestrial life is nothing like we think it is. We have no idea what our own civilization will be like in 50 years, let alone an advanced alien race. The human species is most likely on the verge of a technological singularity. How superintelligence will change our lives is still anybody's guess. It would appear that the human race will emerge from the 21st century as an entirely new species, or as several different new species. It's very likely that we'll be cyborg. Will advances in quantum computing and physics introduce new frontiers for exploration? Is the physical world really worth our trouble? How will consciousness change after superintelligence? How will we apply nanotechnology? What about our morals and goals? Will we adopt the hedonistic imperative? Or will we go into the depths of space as an expanding bubble of intelligence (see Hans Moravec)? We simply do not know yet!
I will say this, however: if an advanced intelligence does arrive at our planet sometime in the next few years, the proper response should probably be: "Please show us mercy."
Dinosaurs and Intelligent Life
Some paleontologists have speculated that had the asteroid not smashed into the earth 65 million years ago that eventually one species of dinosaur would have evolved human-like intelligence and developed civilizations (e.g. the Troodon). I think this is highly unlikely. First of all, the dinosaurs had a 250 million year reign, and during all that time nothing even came close to being human-like. Moreover, the environment was not conducive for intelligence to evolve. Dinosaurs had to adapt physically rather than cognitively. What I mean by this is that dinosaurs were so fierce and brutal, that they had to adapt by evolving either fiercer predatory skills or improved defensive traits (e.g. speed, size, and armour). Intelligence, while surely beneficial to some dinosaurs, was always secondary in importance to physical prowess. And finally, the dinosaur morphology did not lend itself to tool making. They had short and awkward arms, which greatly inhibited their ability to manipulate the environment in ways that early humans could.
Drake Equation
According to SETI, the N in the Drake Equation stands for "the number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable." In other words, N stands for the number of civilizations in our galaxy that have comparable technology to our own. Carl Sagan believed the number was around 10. Many people believe that Sagan was being unreasonably pessimistic, and that surely there must be more advanced life in our galaxy. I, on the other hand, believe that Sagan was overly optimistic. I would put the figure to N=<0.1>0.01 (i.e. 1 in 10 to 1 in 100 galaxies contain advanced intelligent life). In my estimation, technologically advanced civilizations are extremely rare. We are a freak of nature. Too many different and improbable variables had to come into play for us to advance from tree dwelling mammals to the atom-splitting species we are today.
I believe the galaxy is teeming with life. However, as complexity of life increases, prevalency decreases. There are probably millions of earth-like planets in our galaxy with prokaryote and eukaryotic life forms. There are probably thousands upon thousands of earth-like planets with complex animals such as fish, reptiles, and mammals. It is likely that there are hundreds of planets with primate or hominid-type creatures. And it is likely that there are dozens of intelligent species stuck in hunter-gatherer lifestyles. It is quite likely that the steps from hunter-gatherer to agrarian to feudal to industrial are far more difficult than we assume. But perhaps the most difficult evolutionary step is the one that causes a primate-like creature endowed with long arms, dexterous hands, and a large brain, to suddenly become bi-pedal -- an evolutionary quirk that still defies proper explanation (see Elaine Morgan, 1982). Humans are a truly bizarre organism.
We have a symbiotic relationship with technology. We are dependant on technology for survival, while technology cannot replicate and evolve without our intervention (at least for the time being). Moreover, we are entrenched in a positive feedback loop. We make technology, which in turn enables us to make better technology, which in turn enables us to make even better technology, and so on.
Intelligence and Rationality (Part V)
As discussed in Part IV, sentience is a qualitative trait that varies from species to species. Its strength is dependant on the sophistication of an organism's communicative capabilities; the more social the animal, the more sentient it is (the sense of self increases as the interfacing capabilities of a consciousness increases). If a mind cannot communicate with another mind, then self-awareness is unlikely, if not impossible. In a very significant way, sentience is dependant on the presence of other minds. Thus, I theorize that a sentient consciousness cannot exist unless it can interface (or network) with another consciousness.
What are the ways in which two consciousnesses can interface and transfer data? There are many: verbal and written language, facial expressions, body language, chemical transference (e.g. pheromones), and many more (some of which we may not even be aware of, such as telepathy or telepathic-like communication that is experienced at a subconscious (or conscious) level). Also, our verbal and written languages can be classified as technologies, and like our other technologies, they are subject to improvements. While our biological communicative skills remain largely unchanged, our verbal/written skills are steadily evolving and gaining in sophistication. As a result, our sense of self may continue to increase.
A mind can collect data not only from another consciousness, but from the environment as well (including predators and the non-living environment). Our surroundings are constantly conveying information to us, and our minds can perceive this data using sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Thus, data reception from the environment is another player in the consciousness game. However, minds cannot transfer data to the environment. Minds can only transfer data to other minds -- a crucial step in the evolution of self-awareness. I don't believe that an organism can evolve a strong sense of self without significant bi-directional communication skills. Sensory environmental stimuli by itself will not result in the emergence of sentience. Many simple organisms (such as insects, amphibians, and fish) perceive the environment using their senses, but these perceptions control the organism's behaviour; there is no conscious analysis. Their instinctual scripts activate based on their interpretation of the environment at any given time. Also, bees are capable of transferring messages to other bees (namely, the location of good flowers), but again, there is no self-conscious intent on the part of the communicating bee; sentience is negligible as instinct dominates over self.
But as members of the same species begin to communicate with each other, and as this results in better survival strategies, both communication skills and sentience can improve over time. Strong sensory capabilities may be a direct correlate to the rise of consciousness and intelligence, but strong bi-directional communicative capabilities are a direct correlate to sentience.
Human Reproduction & Sexuality
I've been reading up on Carl Djerassi recently, and he brings up a good point about human reproduction and sexuality. Djerassi, the inventor of the birth control pill, argues that couples currently leave fertilization to pure chance. Parents, aside from deciding to have a child, have no control as they roll the genetic dice. This limitation, says Djerassi, will eventually be a thing of the past, as couples will be able to select many characteristics of their offspring. In such a world, the act of sexual intercourse would be strictly recreational, while human reproduction would be left to the lab. This would almost certainly facilitate another sexual revolution on par with the effects of the birth control pill which was introduced in the 1960s.
Thanks, Paul -- it looks great.
Intelligence and Rationality (Part IV)
Are animals conscious in the same sense that humans are? Are they sentient? If so, what is to distinguish between human sentience and animal sentience? I believe that sentience, or the sense of self, is experienced by both humans and many animals. Most of the larger mammals (particularly social animals such as pack animals and the primates) probably experience a greater sense of self than we have traditionally assumed. When a dog begs for a piece of chocolate, in his own mind, using the canine analog to semantic language, he is saying to himself: "I really like chocolate, and I would like to have some." To me, that is not only a sign of intelligence, but of self-awareness as well. The dog is not acting on instinct (or set scripts) alone. The dog is exerting a certain degree of free-will and subjective preference (qualia).
Sentience and language capabilities are a direct correlate. Dogs, as descendants of wolves, are pack animals, and pack animals are social creatures. They communicate which each other using body language and physical interactions. It's this same communicative neural hard-wiring that has enabled dogs to follow verbal commands from their human companions (and probably also explains why humans have the capacity for verbal language). Since dogs have fairly strong communication skills, I believe they are quite self-aware. I'm also starting to think that animals such as elephants, whales, and primates are quite sentient (we may need to rethink animal rights issues as a result; for more on this particular topic, see Peter Singer).
Aside from language skills, consciousness and sentience do not appear to be traits that are directly coded into our brains. Rather, consciousness may be an emergent effect of the brain's activities (see Kurzweil, 1999). Every atom in our brain gets replaced during the course of our lives, yet we still feel that we are the same person.
However, I think it's fair to say that humans are more sentient than the other animals. Due to our greater intelligence, language skills, and culture, we are better able to conceptualize and verbalize the sense of self. A 'lesser' primate, I would argue, with a few neural tweaks and enhancements (particularly in the language centers), could conceivably have a similar sense of self that humans have. Thus, sentience is a qualitative characteristic; there are low, medium, and high levels of self-awareness. Humans currently have the highest sense of self. We are capable of verbalizing: "I think, therefore I am." Additionally, we have existential awareness, we are aware of our own mortality, we are empathetic, we worry, and we plan for the future. But by no means have we reached the pinnacle of sentience. I believe that as we further develop our physical selves, and as we learn more about the nature of our existence, our sense of self will also continue to evolve and expand. And who knows -- for all we know, in the large scheme of things, we may have, in relative terms, the self-awareness of a goldfish.
Commentary [updated from 2002.07.29, now removed]
Should the human race adopt a mission statement? Yes. We need to develop our sciences and ourselves so that we are no longer at nature's mercy. Richard Dawkins put it well: "I want to change the world in which I live so that natural selection no longer applies." This does not imply that nature has no value or that it is 'bad'. Just because we are getting better at controlling nature doesn't mean that we are somehow outside of it. We will always be a part of nature, and we should seek to establish and maintain an effective harmony with it.
There are two popular counter-arguments to this stance: we must 1) stop 'playing God' and 2) allow nature to follow its course. As a secular humanist, I reject the first argument. Humans are in control of their own destiny, and they are accountable to themselves, the entire species, and all life on this planet. We did not ask for these responsibilities, but as the most intelligent, self-aware, and technologically/culturally advanced species on this planet, we have a moral obligation to accept those responsibilities. There is no higher power at work that will solve our problems for us; to believe otherwise is irresponsible, if not delusional. As for the second argument, we have been 'tampering' with nature for the past 13,000 years, if not longer. It is impossible to live on this planet and not 'tamper' with it. We are as biological as any other creature on Earth. Some examples of this include our tool making skills, agriculture (which is artificial selection, aka genetic engineering), and our medical sciences (are we 'tampering' with nature when we cure a disease or immunize ourselves?). Another reason for rejecting the second argument is the 'conscious nature' fallacy. People often refer to nature as Mother Nature, or as some other quasi-sentient entity that knows what it's doing. This is simply not the case. Nature is a broad term used to describe the emergent effects of many different laws at play, namely physical and chemical reactions and natural selection. If I may quote Dawkins again: "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. "
And yet, humans have assigned a high moral value to the end results of these processes, namely life and existence itself. Why? Because intelligent life is capable of morally transcending the laws of nature. Most of us do not believe that 'survival of the fittest' is acceptable social behaviour. Instead, as we become more aware of ourselves, and as our collective intelligence increases, we are becoming morally and ethically stronger. For example, our empathy skills are increasing with each generation; the more we know, the better we can understand and sympathize with all life. Gender, racial, cultural, sexual, ageist, disabled, and class prejudices are slowly dissipating from collective and personal consciousnesses. Violence is gradually becoming an unacceptable way of resolving disputes. These trends will be sure to continue in the future, but only if we continue to seek a deeper understanding of ourselves and our existence.
Some Transhumanists have used the software analogy to describe the pending improvements to the human species, claiming that we are working towards Humanity version 2.0. While this is somewhat apropos of what Transhumanism is working to bring about, taking the analogy further reveals some of the dangers and pitfalls we need to avoid en route.
For example, would we start applying such terms as 'beta units,' and 'bugs' (or is that 'known issues' according to the Microsoft lexicon?) to posthuman works in progress? Personally, I wouldn't want to have children that are de facto beta versions of a posthuman (i.e. protoposthumans), full of genetic and technological defects. Yuck. The transition to a posthuman condition must be managed better than that. Also, the term Humanity 2.0, as it now stands, is meaningless. I am not sure that we can or should define a Humanity 2.0, other than a commitment to the increased health and general improvement of the species. In the future we should only describe a human as being either human or posthuman. Thus, a posthuman is to be defined as anyone who has had their genetic information altered (either before or after birth), or anyone who has had an implanted and somewhat permanent technological augmentation or enhancement. [On this last point, that I use a calculator doesn't make me posthuman, even though it's giving me abilities far beyond what I am naturally capable of. But if that calculator were to be permanently imbedded in my body somehow, then that would make me posthuman.]
We need to travel this path slowly and steadily. There will be no declaration of Humanity 2.0. We will just get better and healthier, dealing with each biological and technological issue as they come. There will be problems and side effects, though (how could there not be?), and top priority should be placed on managing and minimizing those problems. Talking about 'versions' and 'revisions' is contrary to the Transhumanist vision which seeks instead to honour the dignity and well-being of all humankind in all their forms.
According to Hugh Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics, the world is not as it appears. It's interesting to see how the mind-body problem continues to persist in science and philosophy, and is arguably stronger than ever. Specifically, the issue is with the phenomenon known as quantum 'splitting,' or 'mind-splitting.' Essentially, every time you're forced to make an observation or decision, you get copied (or split) into the other worlds of all probable outcomes. You, an observer, do not notice the persistent splitting. You're just observing outcome after outcome after outcome. Life appears seamless and coherent. Little do you realize that all possible outcomes are being perceived by your consciousness's copies in the other worlds; and just like you, they don't notice the splitting either. Their worlds are just as coherent as yours. This is why some quantum physicists are starting to refer instead to the Many Histories Interpretation. For example, take the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment. According to this exercise, the moment you check to see if the cat is dead or alive, you are split into one of two possible states: one that observes the dead cat and one that observers the living cat. [The mind-splitting phenomenon came to mind recently after an interesting occurrence here in Ontario last week. During the course of one single day, a man won $50,000 at the track betting on a long shot and he won $12.5 million in the lottery. My reaction? Well, ya -- in an infinite universe where all probable outcomes are observed, this is going to happen from time to time, and some seemingly miraculous events will be observed by us in our own historical time-line.]

A new podcast. About (drum roll please) Staying In. It's hosted by Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the couple behind "The Big Sick." They get what you're going through...'cause they're going through it too.
Jane Fonda's workout video. Straight out of the '80s. Leg warmers and leotards encouraged, but not required.
A list of TV rankings. If trendy Netflix shows aren't your cup of tea, maybe one of these 100 best episodes of the century are. It's from 2018, but it still holds up.

Human Rights Defenders of the Month (February 2019): Mildred Apenyo
HRDs of the Month
Mildred Apenyo is a prominent Ugandan women's right activist and feminist through her work as an entrepreneur, trainer, and writer. Apenyo is also the founder of FitCliqueAfrica, Uganda's first female-only gym, aimed at empowering women and sexual minorities.
"In the [human rights] movement, a significant amount of people face trauma and burn-out due to the work they do," she says. Apenyo says that she wanted to create a space where women feel safe – a place to heal and regain strength.
"It's such a terrible waste of time that so many wonderful, powerful women are spending all of their lives fighting things that are obviously unfair, and fighting what obviously should not exist"
FitCliqueAfrica is passionate about the wellness and safety of women, with a focus on women's mental health and physical well-being. The organisation teaches women emotional and physical self-defence as a means to relief trauma and stress. "I didn't know anything about fitness," she says, "but I had a passion."
"What inspires me is the vision, the idea, of a world where no one's dignity has to be fought for. It's such a terrible waste of time that so many wonderful, powerful women are spending all of their lives fighting things that are obviously unfair, and fighting what obviously should not exist"
Apenyo was a 2014 Mandela Washington Fellow at the age of 24, and she has been featured in New York Times and BBC due to her work in protecting and empowering women.

Human Rights Defender of the Month: Meskerem  Geset Techane
Meskerem Geset Techane has fought injustice since she can remember: as a child she was known to stand up for herself and others, whether against bullies, teachers, her parents or church. Fighting injustice and promoting human rights is a common theme in the lawyer's life. "It's a passion, promoting human rights is not something you choose to do for a living or as a career opportunity. It's more of a calling for me."
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Andrew Gole
Andrew Gole's journey to become a human rights defender (HRD) was sparked by a small request: in 2015, a human rights organisation reached out to the trained software engineer about a digital security training. "I didn't know much about the HRD eco-system or about digital security as an environment on its own," Andrew says. "So, I did some research, and realised digital security support is just the basic support I used to provide in an internet café."
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Onesmo Olengurumwa
Protecting human rights is Onesmo Olengurumwa's passion. When his secondary school lacked access to water and was threatened with closure, Onesmo successfully rallied his fellow students together and protested for their right to education. While at university, he was the human rights association's president. Becoming a human rights defender was not really a conscious choice, but just the natural course of Onesmo's life.
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Malab Alneel
Malab Alneel was only 20 when Sudan's revolution started in December 2018, but she knew it was the moment to get involved: "I grew up in a house that was very political. All of my sisters are activists, my parents are very involved. Activism has always been there. But for me it started with the revolution. It just felt like a time for change."
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Karis Moses Oteba
Karis Moses Oteba is DefendDefenders' Protection Officer and Well-being Lead, promoting self-care and effective stress management amongst human rights defenders. He started defending human rights at the early age of 11, as a member of the children's parliament, convened to listen to the views of children concerning Uganda's 1997 Children's Act.
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Vanessa Tsehaye
Vanessa Tsehaye started her work as a human rights defender at an early age: at 16, she founded a high school group in support of imprisoned Eritrean journalist Seyoum Tsehaye. Seven years later, the same diaspora organisation, One Day Seyoum, is one of Eritrea's leading human rights organisations – spear-headed by the now 23-year old Vanessa.
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Edmund Yakani
Edmund Yakani is one of South Sudan's most prominent human rights defenders (HRDs). The Civil Rights Defender of the Year 2017 has worked on an array of topics – the rights of internally displaced persons (IDPs), transitional justice, and the protection of HRDs in cooperation with DefendDefenders – that are all connected by the common thread of human rights promotion and protection.
Human Rights Defender of the Month: Onyango Owor
In March 2020, Uganda's Constitutional Court nullified the Public Order Management Act, 2013, a law that made arbitrary restrictions on freedom of assembly possible. One of the people behind the successful petition of POMA is Onyango Owor, a Ugandan lawyer with 15 years of experience in representing human rights defenders.

Darius the Great: Building Projects
Darius I (Old Persian Dârayavauš): king of ancient Persia, whose reign lasted from 522 to 486. He seized power after killing king Gaumâta, fought a civil war (described in the Behistun inscription), and was finally able to refound the Achaemenid empire, which had been very loosely organized until then. Darius fought several foreign wars, which brought him to India and Thrace. When he died, the Persian empire had reached its largest extent. He was succeeded by his son Xerxes.

Darius, relief from the Central Relief of the Northern Stairs of the Apadana, Persepolis
A king had to show that he ruled his kingdom. There were many ways to impress people. The Behistun inscription, highly visible along one of the empire's main roads, is one example. An impressive court ritual, performed in several capitals, is another, and we can also think of the vastness of the Persian armed forces: when Darius' son Xerxes marched to Greece, every subject country was present in his army. In this way, everybody knew how powerful the king was.
Another way to impress people was architecture. Darius built at least two large palace cities: Persepolis and Susa, which replaced Pasargadae as capital of the Persian empire. There may have been other palaces in cities like Babylon and Ecbatana, but archaeologists have not found them. The capitals of the satraps were also marked by splendid architecture, but they have not attracted much attention yet. (Sardes is a case in point. Although Persian terraces have been discovered, excavation has focused on Greek and Roman buildings.)
Darius' best-known building project is Persepolis, or, to use its Persian name, Pârsa. It was to be the splendid seat of the government of the Achaemenid empire, where the king received guests at the New Year festival (Now Ruz). Starting c.515, Darius' men leveled the ground and created a terrace of 450x300 meters, on which stood the Treasury and the Audience hall (Apadana). In the Treasury were stored the booty of the conquered tribes and the annual tribute, now fixed, from the king's subjects. The Apadana could accomodate hundreds of people at the same time. The seventy-two columns which supported the roof were twenty-five meters high. The building inscription reads:
Darius the great king, king of kings, king of countries, son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenian, built this palace.
Darius' palace
These buildings were finished in 490. At the end of Darius' reign, a small palace was added. The remarkable cavetto elements that crown the doors are an Egyptian influence. It was called Taçara, 'winter palace', but Darius probably did not live to see the building finished.
Although there have been extensive excavations at Susa, the site is less well-known than Persepolis. In Antiquity, its was the other way round. The authors of the Bible and the Greeks simply ignored Persepolis but knew everything about Susa, which was clearly Darius' favorite residence and the place where he received guests from outside the empire. Unfortunately, a big fire during the reign of Artaxerxes I (465-424) destroyed much of the buildings from his age. The building inscription of Susa is one of the most fascinating texts in its genre, because it describes the building of the palace in great detail.
Susa, Apadana. The king's throne stood on the large square stone to the left, below.
This palace which I built at Susa, from afar its ornamentation was brought. Downward the earth was dug, until I reached rock in the earth. When the excavation had been made, then rubble was packed down, some 40 cubits in depth, another part 20 cubits in depth. On that rubble the palace was constructed.
And that the earth was dug downward, and that the rubble was packed down, and that the sun-dried brick was molded, the Babylonian people performed these tasks.
The cedar timber, this was brought from a mountain named Lebanon. The Assyrian people brought it to Babylon; from Babylon the Carians and the Greeks brought it to Susa. The yakâ-timber was brought from Gandara and from Carmania.
The gold was brought from Lydia and from Bactria, which here was wrought. The precious stone lapis lazuli and carnelian which was wrought here, this was brought from Sogdia. The precious stone turquoise, this was brought from Chorasmia, which was wrought here.
The silver and the ebony were brought from Egypt. The ornamentation with which the wall was adorned, that from Greece was brought. The ivory which was wrought here, was brought from Nubia and from India and from Arachosia.
The stone columns which were here wrought, a village named Abiradu, in Elam - from there were brought. The stone-cutters who wrought the stone, those were Greeks and Lydians.
The goldsmiths who wrought the gold, those were Medes and Egyptians. The men who wrought the wood, those were Lydians and Egyptians. The men who wrought the baked brick, those were Babylonians. The men who adorned the wall, those were Medes and Egyptians.
Map of Lower Egypt (fifth-fourth centuries BCE)
Darius also ordered the construction of large-scale public works. Roads have already been mentioned (above). Another famous construction was the canal between the easternmost branch of the Egyptian river Nile and the Red Sea. It is mentioned by Herodotus,note[Herodotus, Histories 2.158.] and several inscriptions found in Egypt also indicate its existence and course. As we will see below, it was finished in 498. Because ancient sailors were able to navigate on the Ocean, it was now possible to circumnavigate the Arabian Peninsula and sail from Babylonia to Memphis. It must have been one of the most important incentives to boost interregional trade.

A Naso brachycentron a sugarasúszójú halak (Actinopterygii) osztályának sügéralakúak (Perciformes) rendjébe, ezen belül a doktorhalfélék (Acanthuridae) családjába tartozó faj.

Előfordulása

A Naso brachycentron a Csendes- és az Indiai-óceánokban fordul elő. Kelet-Afrikától kezdve egészen a Marquises- és a Társaság-szigetekig sokfelé fellelhető. Elterjedésének az északi határát Japánhoz tartozó Rjúkjú-szigetek, míg déli határát Vanuatu képezi.

Megjelenése
Ez a halfaj legfeljebb 90 centiméter hosszú. A hátúszóján 4-5 tüske és 28-30 sugár, míg a farok alatti úszóján 2 tüske és 27-28 sugár ül. Felnőtt korára púpot növeszt; "szarva" csak a hímnek van. A fején a szemek mögött, valamint a testen a mellúszók fölött sötéten szegélyezett világos foltok láthatók. A farokúszóján nincs fehér szegély. A szemek és száj közti pofarész erősen lehajlik, a testével 40 fokos szöget alkotva.

Életmódja

Trópusi, tengeri hal, amely a korallzátonyokon él. 8-30 méteres mélységekben lelhető fel, azonban általában 15-20 méter mélyen tartózkodik. A 25-28 Celsius-fokos vízhőmérsékletet kedveli. A mélyebb, part menti vizeket kedveli, ahol általában kisebb rajokban úszik. Néha nagy rajokat is alkothat, vagy éppen egymagában figyelhető meg. A vízalatti sziklákat és a kavicsos fenéket kedveli, ahol mélyebb vízi algákkal táplálkozik.

Felhasználása
A Naso brachycentront ipari mértékben halásszák; főleg mélytengeri hálókkal. A városi akváriumok szívesen tartják.

Australia also called Oceania, is a delight for travelers across from the world. Since it is connected geologically with New Zealand, the whole of New Guinea, Australia it is historically called Australasia based on geology, living things and geography. It has the least (0.3%) of the total Earth's population after Antarctica.
Australia and Oceania are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in the South and East and the Indian Ocean in the North. It comprises of the magnificent Australian mainland, thousands of tropical islands of the Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia regions that are dotted across the South Pacific Ocean along with bigger islands like the New Guinea, Tasmania and New Zealand.
The largest state Australia occupies 86% of the total area and the smallest independent country is Nauru so small that one can drive around it in less than 60 minutes.
Australia's most visited cities are Sidney and Melbourne. Sidney is one of largest cities and is a huge tourist attraction for its harbor-front Sydney Opera House that stands out for its sail-like design. Sydney Tower's outdoor platform called the Skywalk has a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city and its suburbs. Melbourne is on the southeastern side buzzing with bars, restaurants, plazas by the sides of Yarra River also a center for art and culture. Not to miss the palm-lined beaches, coral reefs, clear blue lagoons and rugged landscape of Fiji and the popular scuba diving site and luxury resort destination Bora Bora.
Australia's natural wonder The Great Barrier Reef is visible even from outer space situated in the north eastern region off the Queensland Coast, is the top holiday destination in Australia. It is known worldwide for over 600 types of coral both soft and hard and home to colorful fishes, mollusks, starfishes, turtles, dolphins, and sharks in innumerable numbers stretching for 2,300 km.
The Australian Outback is for the adventure spirited traveler who is ready to venture into the remote interiors ingrained with Australian heritage, history, and folklore.
I visited New Zealand a few years back. This was one of the most beautiful destinations I have visited.

PHILLIP ISLAND (VIC)
1927 - PHILLIP ISLAND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SPLITS FROM THE MAINLAND
Because of a ban placed on motor racing on public roads in Victoria, many illegal motorcycle events were held on various public road locations.
In 1927 the Phillip Island and Woolamai Shires voted to sever its ties with the mainland as far as local government, This changed the legality of Motor Racing around the streets.
An approach was made by the Victorian Motor Cycle union and the light Car Club of Victoria to the shire for permission and race meetings were soon underway.
1928 - PHILLIP ISLAND ROAD CIRCUIT
The first Phillip Island circuit was nothing more than a reclangular rough and dusty public road layout, the track was described by drivers as brutal and hard to navigate because of the dust, at times the tree tops that lined the road were the best way to tell if you were on the road or not, because of the narrow roads and the dust accidents were very much part of the days racing.

First Race Meeting
The first ever race meeting at Phillip Island was held on the 26th of March 1928, This was a 100 mile motorcycle tt event.
The event on these dry dusty unsealed roads was organised by the Victorian Light Car Club.

======================================================================================
Ian Griffiths recalls: The above map shows the 10.4 km circuit at Phillip Island that hosted the very first Australian Grand Prix on the 31st of March 1928, this circuit was used each year through to 1935.
It was also used for motorcycle TT's, but this was a long 12 mile variant which went straight on to Rhyll at Jackson's Corner and rejoined the circuit at Gentle Anne corner. After 1935, the Grand Prix moved the ather venues and a 3.3 mile mostly triangular circuit was used (the top of the above map) for club racing, the circuit was used until 1940.
1934 - VICTORIAN CENTENARY GRAND PRIX
1934 - At the time the big cars were banned from racing on the mainland, pictured here is Mick Smith in his Ford V8 Special behind the 21 Singer, Smith went on to win the 230 mile race that year. Photo: The Singer Project facebook.

1938 - PHILLIP ISLAND AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX
It has been reported that two Australian Grand Prixs were run in 1938. This is not the case, infact this event was conducted by the Victorian Sporting Car Club on the 28th of March 1938 on the unsealed public roads on Phillip Island. This event was referred to as the Phillip Island Grand Prix. The Australian Grand Prix was held at Mount Panorama that same year.
It is beleived that A Beasley in a Singer won the main 115 mile event with 2nd going to KR McDonald in a Standard. J Boughton in a Morgan suffered mechanical problems and was forced to retire.

The trailer for Connect, which was just released on Disney+ Korea, was created by renowned Japanese director Takashi Miike, best known for the 1999 horror film Audition, which is frequently regarded as one of the most unsettling movies ever made. The new crime drama is based on the gripping Shin Dae-Sung webtoon of the same name.
The Connect trailer gives viewers a taste of a story that is significantly darker than what they are used to from The Mouse; the action even starts with a tense close-up of blood droplets being moved by vibrations in the foreground. In the movie Connect, a man is abducted by a group of organ thieves who take one of his eyeballs. The unwilling donor, who had his lost eye transplanted into the body of a serial murderer, is now able to see and is subjected to terrible images, making him a witness to the horrifying assaults on Seoul's citizens.
The Studio Dragon-produced series, which was first revealed by Variety, would have six segments, each lasting 45 minutes. Earlier than being announced as a Star Original on the Disney+ streaming platform in Korea, the show will play in Busan on October 6 to 7. The main character, Ha Dong-soo, is portrayed by Jung Hae-in, who awakens to discover that his eye is missing but who secretly possesses the power to instantly heal any wound, no matter how serious.
Ko Kyung-po will play Oh Jin-seop, the main antagonist and the serial killer tormenting Seoul's citizens, in the next series. The Connect cast also includes Kim Hye-jun, who plays the intriguing female lead Irang. Connect is the latest Korean original series to be made available on Disney+, joining titles like Rookie Cops, Grid, and even Snowdrop. Even though Connect will be available on Disney+ Korea, it is not yet known if the popular streaming service would make the series available in other nations.

I plan to be there. I also have a bunch of wood spindles (approx. 10") of walnut, maple, and cypress that I can bring if someone wants to cut them, drill them and face them (bring your own tubes). They are already the proper size (about 7/8" square).

Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] CEO Elon Musk may have inadvertently announced the name of the electric car company's planned fifth model, believed to be a high-riding, hatch-like car similar to the Model X but based on a third-generation platform debuting in the Model 3 small sedan due out in 2017.
In a recent Twitter post, Musk made mention of a vehicle called the Model Y. But almost immediately after making the post he removed it, leading to speculation that this was more than just a typo.
The story comes via Tech Insider (via Green Car Reports), which has a screen capture of Musk's deleted Model Y post.
The post was made in response to a fan asking whether Tesla's fifth model (the high-riding Model 3 variant) would be available with the 'falcon wing' doors that debuted on the recently revealed Model X.
We first learned of Tesla's fifth model in 2012 when the company presented a slide with a schedule of planned model releases (above). The slide showed that Tesla plans to launch a new sedan and crossover after the Model S and Model X, with the new sedan being the Model 3 and the new crossover most likely being the Model Y.
But the story doesn't end there. A later post, also deleted, acknowledged what had been widely expected: that there will be a version of the Model X crossover with a lower-capacity battery than the 90-kilowatt-hour pack offered at present. Musk said it will be "something like a 70," in his post and revealed that it would "probably" around in a year.

Sociological research has repeatedly shown that being tall may give you a distinct advantage in life—higher salaries, for one thing. You can also reach the top shelf in the grocery store. And you never have to have your slacks hemmed. But recent medical research has uncovered a potential problem with height…at least for post-menopausal women. The taller a woman is, a new study suggests, the greater her risk for cancers such as east, colon, and skin.
The study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention states that the risk of cancer for women increases by 13 percent with every four inches of added height. The average height of American women is 5' 4", meaning a woman who is 5' 8" has a 13 percent higher chance of getting cancer compared to a woman of average height.
But height, per se, is not to blame. According to this study, headed by lead author Geoffrey Kabat, a cancer epidemiologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, it seems height is not to blame, it is only a factor. The real culprit may be what influences growth: Such as milk intake, high levels of insulin, and increases in hormone growth. —S.H.
Bottom Line: Once again, in the battle against cancer, personal vigilance (know your risks and know your own body) may be the most effective weapon.


Are you using Google's Machine Learning to its best advantage?
Google Insight: How Is AI Impacting on Paid Search?
As a Google Premier Partner Agency we were recently invited to attend an event at Google Dublin, at which a range of speakers from Google and its external partners held forth on the subject of machine learning and its growing impact on the areas of analytics, insight and attribution. This field has long been vitally relevant to paid search and the wider online advertising industry, and it was fascinating to hear what Google had to say on the issue. Along with a precis of Google's views from the day, here are some insights on how this new tech is already impacting on our paid search work.
Perhaps counterintuitively for a conference concerning machine learning, an early speech covered the growth in human IQ. Taken globally, the intellect of the average human increases measurably each year: people are getting smarter. This growth in human mental faculties is having a direct impact on our capacity to engineer and educate machines, and on their ability to learn from us: computers are getting smarter too.
Elsewhere, the emergence of an "internet of things" has ensured the proliferation of home devices that can turn the lights on, change the temperature and play music on demand. While they are being more widely used, these web-based systems are accruing data more quickly and so becoming smarter: the uptick in their use is turning them into a more successful product, as machine learning optimises their performance.
Over and above its value in the domestic space, machine learning is proving invaluable to industry and in particular to science and medicine. One example given during Google's event was an algorithm written by a fifteen year old high school student, Abu Qader. This tool has been created to detect breast cancer cells within mammogram images. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El4OCwR6qxo). It is estimated that medical error is the third most common cause of death in the USA, suggesting that the use of AI to narrow the space for human blunders could save a great many lives.
Within our own industry, Space and Time are already using computer code to fulfil some of the more repetitive elements of PPC account management. Provided it is kept under the watchful eye and guiding hand of a paid search expert, an automated script can take a lot of the strain when it comes to optimising and reporting on our campaigns. We also use code to respond quicker than a human could and to work round the clock- such as the use of an API feed to make our ad copy weather responsive; updating creative in real time as the weather changes in a given location. Crucially, all this labour-saving technology frees up valuable time for our search experts to do the tasks that only humans can do: analysing data and realising insight; looking into new strategies; researching the marketplace and talking to our clients.
One theme that emerged throughout the Google event concerned the dangers inherent in an over-reliance on assumptions. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of times each day we all instinctively make instant, snap judgements based on heuristics, ill-informed assumptions and minimal data. It's an essential evolutionary neurological shortcut that prevents us from collapsing into inertia while what might or might not be a tiger takes her time over eating us. Within the professional sphere however, where robust datasets are readily available and tigers are rare, it is necessary that this rush to assume is resisted.
The examples Google cited were compelling. It might be reasonable to assume, we were told, that the majority of Google searches for "new cars" are made by men. Similarly, surely most of the people searching for recipes online are women? Wrong and wrong. Ill-founded assumptions of this sort can be as costly as they are outdated. Google has over a billion users of its various products and incorrectly ignoring half of these people would be a major error for any marketing team.
At Space and Time we find it is essential to base decisions and recommendations on the data we have collected, not on what we assume. Even when beginning a project with a certain set of assumptions is inescapable, we use the available data and a range of research tools and proprietary systems to challenge these assumptions as often and as early as possible. This means we can always support a decision with data and so will not become trapped by our assumptions.
The use of fixed budgets is common practice within search advertising. It's wholly reasonable that not every advertiser has sufficient budget to appear for every last relevant search query that is made. Perhaps predictably, Google would like to see a good deal less of this sort of thing and have a number of reasons why we should all be spending more money with them. In many ways their stance makes good sense: once a campaign is delivering leads or sales at a quality and a cost that is acceptable and is essentially self funding, which business would not want to increase the quantum indefinitely? Cash goes in, sales come out. All jolly good. Of course in the real world there might be any number of reasons to limit the amount spent on even the best-performing campaign, but understandably Google's ultimate commercial imperative is to increase their own revenues.
In order to help us open our pockets more liberally, Google has introduced Smart Bidding, an AI tool which helps to optimise performance towards the delivery of low-cost goals. Possessed of sufficient data and daily spend, Smart Bidding is able to increase the volume of conversions from a given budget. We are already using it to good effect wherever it is suitable.
As consumers have become steadily more capable and comfortable browsing from their mobiles over the course of the last decade, the phenomenon of "cross-device" activity has become ubiquitous. We are all now likely to use more than one device to search for something and then switch to another before deciding to make a purchase or to part with our information. Previously AdWords would only accredit a conversion to the device that was used to generate it: all other devices in the process were ignored. Now that the technology is in place to track and understand cross-device activity properly, we are able to analyse the contribution made by various devices at each stage of the purchase funnel. Aggregated across a whole campaign, this attribution modelling can give vital insight on the true value of each medium and platform within the marketing mix. At Space and Time we have been using various tracking tools to model attribution across different touchpoints and devices for years. The facility to attribute across device within Google's Adwords product was introduced at keyword level in late 2015 and its usability and accuracy has been improving ever since, thanks to the performance of the algorithms and the volumes of data involved.
However insightful and interesting a solid day's conferencing can be, it's always nice to round it off with a celebration. Accordingly, while in Dublin we joined up with 350 other influencer agencies to take part in the Premier Partner Awards. The invitation alone meant a great deal, since it placed Space and Time Media within the top 3% of agencies in 26 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In addition we had our efforts and expertise recognised when we were shortlisted for the 'Search Innovation Award' for the work we did for one of our clients: Quality Formations.
From the full day spent at Google we gained plenty of insight and there was lots for us to take away and reflect upon.


In 2005, I was at a meeting of energy experts close to Dominion Energy Inc.'s (D) liquefied natural energy (LNG) terminal in Cove Point, Maryland.
At the meeting, it was unanimously concluded that at least 15 percent of U.S. natural gas demand would be met by LNG imports within the next decade.
In those days, nearly 70 percent of the U.S crude demand was projected to be met by imports.
At that time, American oil production was not even 7 million barrels a day with well over 60 percent of total volume coming from "stripper wells" – each providing less than 10 barrels daily but many more barrels of water than oil.
But nobody could have foreseen (myself included) the largesse LNG would provide.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that the U.S. would become a net exporter of crude oil and natural gas by 2022, which would mark the first year that U.S. energy exports surpassed imports since 1957, when Dwight Eisenhower was president.
And that is a very big deal.
Understanding why the U.S. is on pace to export more energy than it imports boils down to two events that have dramatically transformed export prospects.
The first being when lawmakers ended the 40-year ban on U.S. oil exports back in December 2015.
At the time, excess supply was wreaking havoc on the energy sector as a whole. There was just too much American oil sitting around in storage, with no one around to buy it.
The second event was the LNG Revolution.
The growth in U.S. LNG exports has dramatically transformed the global energy markets.
As I said above, just over a decade ago, the U.S. was expected to become a growing LNG importer, not exporter – likely to be dependent on Russian, Middle Eastern, and North African gas.
Instead, the U.S. has quickly become a dominant force in the LNG market by offering cheaper and more flexible cargos, and by being a more politically palpable supplier.
Fact is, both of these events have significant implications for investors because they bring into focus some companies likely to profit – a trend that should be continuing for some time.
The crude export totals coming out of the U.S. have been nothing short of staggering.
Even during the "prohibition" period, there were still some exceptions for low-grade oil (not having a sufficient domestic market) and a few consignments designated as tolling (moving raw material out in return for refined product coming back in).
But the overall amount was quite low.
Today, an amount approaching 2 million barrels a day is leaving the US, bound for higher-priced markets abroad.
Exports are becoming capped only by the limits in port infrastructure and tanker availability.
For some time, U.S. refineries have already been global leaders in exporting finished products such as gasoline, diesel, low-sulfur heating fuel, high-grade kerosene (i.e., jet fuel).
These days, crude imports are basically happening to allow end-users (the refineries) to exploit cost differences, thereby improving the refinery margin.
That margin is the essential indicator of profits; it is the difference between what it costs the plant to manufacture the product (the largest ingredient being the cost of oil) and the revenue received at the first wholesale transaction point (still carrying the traditional title of "rack price").
The LNG market is the other major mover.
LNG is natural gas that has been liquefied at extremely low temperatures to make it easier to store and transport.
And until late last year, the U.S. provided no volume to the world market.
In fact, the U.S. only started to export LNG overseas in February 2016 when the first liquefaction train at the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana opened.
Until that, the only natural gas exports were via pipeline to Mexico.
Fast forward to today and current estimates have U.S. exports will provide at least 6-8 percent of the world's supply by 2020.
These exports of crude oil and LNG are already providing support for increasing field production without adversely impacting market price.
They are likewise affording some leverage in U.S. relations with other producers worldwide, especially OPEC, and Russia.
Coal, the last of the three fossil fuels, has been a net exporting source for a while now.
The EIA says that will continue to be the case at last until 2050.
However, increases in the export volume will be mitigated by other sources being more local to the markets comprising the principal centers of rising demand, especially Asia.
Also, American shipping facilities are reaching capacity.
As a result, the EIA calculates that U.S. production of oil and natural gas will continue to grow through 2040 and beyond.
But the most striking factor to consider is oil.
Almost 13 years ago, that Cove Point meeting was expecting daily oil production to come in at about 6.8 million barrels.
Today, it is more than 10 million barrels, and the EIA believes it will reach 11.2 million by 2022.
That surging output should allow the U.S. to dethrone Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's leading crude oil producer – a title that it hasn't had since 1975.
As for demand, the EIA also sees consumption growing steadily over the next two years, with global demand rising by an average of 1.7 million bpd in both 2018 and 2019.
Related: Is History Repeating Itself In Oil Markets?
Not to mention a new era of energy profits for us to target.
While the US could become a net exporter of natural gas by 2022, becoming a net exporter of oil is a different matter.
Let discuss US LNG exports first. In 2017 the US exported an estimated 14 million tons (mt) of LNG and this is projected to rise to 20-27 mt by 2022 compared with 70 mt by Qatar and some 60 mt by Australia.
With global demand for LNG growing by leaps and bounds, Qatar is planning to boost its LNG production capacity by 30% from 77 mt currently to 100 mt per year with the aim of maintaining its position as the world's largest producer and exporter of LNG. Qatar currently accounts for 32% of global LNG demand and 80% of all LNG exports to the Asia-Pacific region. Then there is Australia which is investing heavily in expanding its LNG production and export capacities. By the 2020 Australia will have a production capacity of 85 mt compared with some 50 mt for the United States. Then there is Russia which is coming late to the LNG exports but it has the resources to expand its production fairly quickly.
As for oil exports, it is virtually impossible for the US to become a net oil exporter. The US currently imports between 7 -8 million barrels a day (mbd). The US consumed an estimated 19.73 mbd in 2017 and this is projected to rise to 20.23 mbd by 2022. So unless US production exceeds 20.23 mbd by 2022, the US can't become a net oil exporter.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said that US oil production in 2017 was 9.3 mbd. It is impossible for the US to raise its oil production to over 20 mbd by 2022 to become a net oil exporter despite the hype by the EIA recently about the US becoming self-sufficient of oil by 2029 and even overtaking Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest producer by 2020.
Both the respected Post Carbon Institute and MIT said recently that the EIA is seriously overstating US oil production and the potential of the US shale oil industry.
1. 'Today, an amount approaching 2 million barrels a day is leaving the US, bound for higher-priced markets abroad' . Here I must point out; Mr Moors did not tell us the 2 million barrels US export means petroleum products not crude oil export ( crude and refines products), so far since the lifting crude export ban, export of US crude is always around 1.5 million barrels.
2. Now US produces 10 million barrels of crude a day, though the average USA refineries intake is about 16 million barrels of crude a day, US still imports about 8 million barrels of crude a day, this is because most US refineries were designed for refining heavy grade import crude, most US crude is light sweet crude which is only used to be mix blended with import heavy crude.
3. Therefore, it is an absurd claim that US will be a net crude export. Unless, all US refineries are rebuilt for light sweet crude intake, otherwise, it is just a childish illusion. An average fully commercial refinery plant costs more than $9 billion dollars.
4. One last thing Mr Moors did not consider is: shale oil wells have very short life span and the decline rate is extremely high compared to conventional oil wells. Last, without oil price over $70, most USA shale oil producers are money loss enterprises. the cost of production is sky high even with so much hype and propaganda about shale oil technology advancement.


This underwire offers lightweight foam cups for shaping.
Plunging neckline won't show under your low-cut tops and dresses.
Convertible straps fit all your outfits.
Just My Size Embellished Plunge Underwire Bra is rated 3.2 out of 5 by 53.
Rated 4 out of 5 by tracyjo1966 from Second time getting this bra The cup could be a little bigger. Otherwise happy with the bra.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Theresa B from Too much texture show-through I actually returned these. While they fit well and are absolutely gorgeous with the low plunge, they are too textured to wear under knit tops. There's too much show-through from the lace. I need a smoother surface to wear under knits. If you were to offer the same product with a no-nap fabric, I would buy some.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous0 from Thin, everything else good. The only critique I have for this bra is that is it too thin. As in everyone will be aware then you get chilled. Beyond that, the fit and feel are quite nice. But as a person that gets cold easily, this isn't a bra I can wear in public. So essentially, I won't be using this one very often.
Rated 1 out of 5 by joboh from Ok Wire sticks in side terribly. I have two and I hate them.
