Alex MacIntyre (1954–1982) was a British mountaineer in the 1970s. He is known for developing new climbing techniques that enabled ascents not previously accomplished.

Early life
MacIntyre was born in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire, to Scottish Catholic parents. His first experience of climbing came after his parents moved to Letchmore Heath while Alex studied for his A-levels at Watford Grammar School. Almost as soon as he entered the school, MacIntyre joined the London Mountaineering Club and frequently went on weekend climbing trips to north Wales. In 1972, he was awarded four grade As at A-level. He then attended Leeds University to study Geography and Economics, later switching to Law.

Climbing
As a member of the Leeds University Mountaineering Club (LUMC), he developed his climbing skills, along with fellow students John Syrett, Brian Hall and John Powell. After climbing Yorkshire's gritstone, MacIntyre travelled to Scotland to develop his ice climbing technique and understanding of winter climbing conditions. On 14 March 1975, he made a solo ascent of two of the test pieces on Ben Nevis – Zero Gully and Point Five.

Alex was one of several British climbers who were proficient in 'front point" climbing, a style of climbing accomplished through the use of crampons with two front-slanting points or spikes which allow traction to be concentrated at the toe of a climber's boots. This allowed the British group to make a light and fast ascent, relatively unencumbered by gear and supplies, ascending and descending in a shorter time than traditional climbing methods allowed. During this period, MacIntyre and his climbing partners ascended the Grandes Jorasses giant ice sheet, The Shroud, in a single day, and also accomplished the first non-sieged ascent of the Harlin Direct on the Eiger North Face.

Climbing in the Himalaya
MacIntyre later climbed in the Himalaya where he was a proponent of 'Alpine Style' ethics, along with a number of other climbers, including Voytek Kurtyka. He climbed with a number of international groups, whose ascents included attempts on major objectives such as Dhaulagiri, Changabang, Shishapangma and Makalu.

Death
In the autumn of 1982, at the age of 28, MacIntyre was killed by a single stone while setting up a new route on Annapurna's South Face with French alpinist René Ghilini. In light of his contribution to British climbing, particularly advances in the 'light and fast' style of alpinism, the 'Alex MacIntyre Memorial Hut' was set up in the West Highlands where it is managed by the British Mountaineering Council and the Mountaineering Council of Scotland.

Publications
A book written by MacIntyre and Doug Scott, entitled The Shishapangma Expedition, was published in 1984, and re-released in 2014.

In 2014, MacIntyre's climbing partner John Porter published a biography of his life. The book won the grand prize at the annual Banff Mountain Book Festival.

It's no secret that one of the greatest benefits of local agriculture is reduction of waste. Fewer food miles, less carbon emissions, and reduced dependence on complex distribution systems are all common images that come to mind when people think of "local food." But another more tangible opportunity is often overlooked. And it may very well be the most significant opportunity of all.
First, some fundamental background information. One of the biggest threats facing our food systems today is soil depletion. The conventional agricultural processes being used right now extract virtually all of the nutrients from our soil. And there is no feasible way of returning those nutrients to the earth. Once soil depletion has occurred, that land can no longer be used to grow food. It simply cannot produce crops without nutrient-rich soil.
Secondly, North America is notorious for creating excessive amounts of food waste. It's estimated that up to 40% of the food we buy goes to waste. But this food waste isn't just filling our landfills to capacity. Because of the lack of oxygen in landfill waste piles, the food is not able to break down naturally. Instead, it undergoes a process called anaerobic decomposition, which releases methane gas into the atmosphere. As a greenhouse gas, methane is over 20 times more harmful than carbon dioxide.
So what to these two things have in common? And what do they have to do with urban micro-farms?
It turns out that much of this food waste, sitting in landfills, polluting our air, contains the same nutrients that are being removed from farmland through soil depletion. The waste can actually be used as a medium to carry this nutrition back to the farm. And by returning these nutrients into the earth, we can actually replenish our soil, making it healthier and better for food production. The challenge is that no feasible method exists today to send this food waste the hundreds or thousands of kilometers it needs to travel, to the farms that are able and needing to use it.
But what if the waste didn't have to travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers?
This is where urban micro-farms come in. Building food production into the very cities in which we live doesn't just mean growing our food closer to home. It means opening ourselves up to the possibility of, agriculturally speaking, turning lead into gold.
By utilizing urban micro-farms, we can turn this food waste into an opulent supply of nutrients for our farms. In this, we can find a sustainable solution to the problem of soil depletion. And in doing so, we can also turn the food waste that is polluting our landfills and poisoning our air into a valuable, environmentally sound resource.
This isn't to say urban micro-farms do away with the necessity to reduce our food waste. There's no question that today, as a society, we are throwing away too much of our food. But the concept of reducing our food waste to zero is neither realistic, nor possible. The reality is that some foods are going to spoil, some foods are going to be damaged, and a lot of the parts of our food are simply not commonly consumable.
If food waste is something that we have to live with one way or another, why not make it the solution to an environmental problem rather than the cause of another?
Over the past 20 years, "local food" has evolved from an obscure fringe interest into an international obsession. Very few subjects enjoy as unanimous support as the idea of growing food close to home. This wave of public support has led to an unprecedented boom in farmers markets, Community Shared Agriculture programs, and specialty local food retailers.
But despite this progress, the local food movement has not yet been able to penetrate the mainstream channels of our food systems. Grocery store shelves are still stocked primarily with products trucked in from thousands of kilometers away. The same can be said for large industrial food buyers and foodservice companies. Most of these institutions recognize the value and marketability of local food, and are eager to find ways to tap into the trend. Very few have been able to do so successfully.
For many geographic regions, local food is a seasonal business. The demand for food, of course, isn't seasonal at all. This alone provides an almost insurmountable advantage to the places where food can be grown on a year round basis. Mainstream buyers cannot sacrifice their relationships with reliable, year round suppliers if the local suppliers can only meet demand on a seasonal basis.
To overcome this barrier, local producers need to find ways to grow food during all months of the year. Even if it means only breaking even on the products grown "off season." For producers who live in areas with extreme climates, this will require a relentless focus on innovation and research. Vertical farming, indoor grow lights, high-efficiency greenhouse heating, and other developments are bringing us closer to feasible models for year round production. As technology advances and the costs of growing become lower, local producers must look for ways to capitalize and develop capacity for reliable, year round supply.
The supply chain for our mainstream food systems is extremely well established, and has been for quite some time. Local growers will have to take on the new responsibility of understanding this supply chain, and recognizing how they can fit into it. Or better yet, how they can make it better. For farmers accustomed to distributing their products by setting up a tent and a table at a farmers market, this will be a massive adjustment.
The vast majority of farms do not grow a complete selection of products. In fact, most grow only handful of primary crops. This presents a challenge for the local farmer who, carrying only five or six crops, is forced to compete with established supplier groups with complete selections of products.
This challenge demands a new level of organization for the local food industry. It will provide new opportunities for agencies and local-focused distributors to aggregate the products of local farms. By producing a comprehensive selection of products the local industry can then compete for the business of mainstream buyers.
Local farmers who sell to farmers market enjoy a position of very little bargaining power from buyers. That will change for the farmers who integrate into the mainstream food systems. Once local farmers begin servicing only a small handful of large buyers, or perhaps even only one, they will need to find a way to defend their position and maintain enough supplier power to protect their businesses.
The positive image of local food will be the primary force in pushing the industry into the mainstream food systems. It is, therefore, vitally important to maintain this image and prevent it from being tarnished. The two biggest risks to this image are food safety, and product consistency. Local farmers have not yet adopted many of the extensive measures taken by large, corporate producers to ensure these criteria are met. In order to maintain the positive image needed to fuel the long term growth of the industry, local producers will need to adopt these measures to ensure their products are ones that consumers can trust.
These five criteria provide a framework for the future of local food production. By no means are they comprehensive. But without them, the long-term growth for the local food industry is very much capped and limited. Only by overcoming each of these challenges can the industry open itself up to its full potential. For those in the industry, it is our job to find a way to do that. And in doing so, we can ensure the next 20 years will be as much of a period of unprecedented growth as the past 20 years have been.

A unique Ramayana in world's largest Muslim country
Can you imagine Ramayana without dialogues and music? In Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim state, a unique kind of Ramayana is performed. In Bali, the only Hindu majority province, the Ramayana is combined with a trance dance Kecak to give this epic a unique touch.
Every evening as the sun dips into the Bali Strait, people gather at a small open air theatre on the cliff at the Uluwatu Temple overlooking the Bali Strait.
The performance is called a 'Kecak dance', an onomatopoeic title for the sound of the chant. It's based on a traditional Balinese ritual but was actually created by a German man in the 1930s and based on the Ramayana.
Kecak was originally a trance ritual accompanied by male chorus. In the 1930s, Walter Spies, a German painter and musician, became deeply interested in the ritual while living in Bali. He adapted it as a drama, based on the Ramayana and including dance, intended for performance before Western tourist audiences.
As upwards of 60 bare-chested men dressed only in sarongs (lungi of sorts), each with a red hibiscus planted behind his ear, swarm onto the circular open air stage. There are no props, no artificial backdrop, and no orchestra. There is no cymbal-clashing, gong-bashing gamelan ( Balinese percussion instrument) of the kind that accompanies older, more conventional dance forms, such as barong and legong. The focus is entirely on the circles of men sitting cross-legged, the smooth brown skin of their backs shining in the dusk sunlight.
Without warning, they commence the polyrhythmic vocal chant: "Cak, cak, cak", an incessant, fast-moving, high-pitched murmuring broken continually by individual voices alternatively more upbeat and downbeat. The effect, after a while, is to provide a wall of dramatic sound against which the action of the play can be enacted.
The entire story of Ramayana – abduction of Sita by Ravana and the subsequent battle against him by Lord Ram and the role of Lord Hanuman – is told through the chanting of "Cak, cak, cak".
The highlight of the performance comes at the very end – the destruction of Ravana's Lanka. Here the man playing the character of Lord Hanuman wreaks havoc as the fire lit up in the centre of stage is kicked around by barefooted Hanuman. As the burning pieces of coal fly all around , the audience ran for cover because many of them land in the stands. After the performance, the cast mingles with audience and people take selfies with Lord Hanuman, the most popular character.

We live in a world that often frightens us. Unexpected trials and trouble attack us from every side when we least expect it; so we develop the mentality of fear and apprehension.
We constantly wait for the next shoe to drop, anticipating trauma around every corner and never allowing our self to believe in or hope for the best. This continues until we realize that every day in Jesus is better than the day before.
As a melancholy personality, I struggled for years to come to this place of total trust in God's goodness and to have faith in His faithfulness and perfect peace in His will for me, regardless of how bad the circumstances seemed.
Very few of the imaginary worse case scenarios, which occupy our mind, ever materialize. We end up worrying for nothing; and spending time, when we could be praising God with our thoughts, in trying to be prepared for ever circumstance life may possibly throw at us.
Elections, terrorists, natural disasters, financial strain and insecurity, disease, strained relationships, etc. all dim in importance when we realize in our spirit and our soul that, if we live in total surrender, God is in control of every aspect of our life.
Life as an authentic, Born Again Believer teaches us that life in Christ is an adventure. We are already dead with Christ in God, living in His abundant rest, walking in His Spirit and enjoying His perfect will for our life.
Trouble is merely a tiny bump in the road when we hide under the shadow of God's wings and allow Him to live life in and through us. Fear, anxiety, insecurities and worry no longer overwhelm our soul, and our spirit draws strength and life from Christ within us.
We live, move and have our being in Christ (Acts 17:28). God's Spirit controls all of our decisions, trials and troubles. The shadow of darkness in this world is dispelled by the light of Christ within us.
Father God, as we learn to trust in You, the issues which formerly sent us into the pit of despair, no longer rock our world. We learn over the days of our life spent in Your presence, that You have a perfect plan for our life (Ephesians 2:10). If we pray without ceasing, walk in Your Spirit each moment of our day and trust in Your unfailing love and mercy, we have joy even in our trials (James 1:2-8).
Remind us to replace the negative self-talk and lies straight from the pit of hell with the Truth of Your Word, which is alive and powerful and able to separate the worries of our soul from the faith in our spirit (Hebrews 4:12). Give us Your grace to see us through the days when our faith wanes and the waters threaten to drown us (Habakkuk 3:7-19).
God loves us and shows Himself to us (John 14:21). He calls us through the gospel to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:14), and claims us as His children (Ephesians 1:4-5).
God is the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9). He created us in His own likeness with a triune nature – our spirit, soul and body (Genesis 1:27; Hebrews 12:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:23). His Spirit transforms us with the divine nature of Christ.
We are born of the first Adam from the dust of the earth, but also Born Again of the second Adam, Jesus, by the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 15:45). God created us as physical human beings, but He also gave us a soul – thoughts, feelings and choices – and a spirit.
God made Jesus the firstborn among many adopted brethren (Romans 8:29; Ephesians 1:5). He gives us exceedingly great and precious promises of salvation, so that we might be partakers of Christ's divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
He sanctifies our soul throughout our lifetime, until we are holy and without sin in His sight. His rich grace abounds in our life, and He gives us His wisdom to deal with every issue we face (2 Corinthians 9:8).
God wants to fill us through all of our being with all of His fullness, so that we may obtain the richest portion of His presence in our life (Ephesians 3:16-19; 4:13).
As we contemplate the Lord's glory, we are transformed into His likeness with an ever-increasing resemblance to Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 12:2). Jesus is equal to God, and He lives in us, sharing His divine nature with us (John 5:18).
We have the same potential, which Jesus did of becoming spiritual beings, because Christ in us is Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45). When we crucify the deeds of our flesh, walk in the Spirit and pray without ceasing, we make a difference for the Kingdom of God.
Father God, by Your glorious grace we gradually walk into the divine nature of Christ in us, and we walk away from the corruption in this world (1 Peter 2:2-4). We are growing in our understanding of the amazing magnitude of Your power available to all authentic Believers. It is the same dynamite power that resurrected Christ from the grave and returned Him to His glory in Heaven (Ephesians 1:19-20).
Thank You that He fills us with this life and supplies us with everything we need to function in unity with You and to accomplish Your will for us in the earth (Ephesians 1:23). Enable the world to see that You sent Jesus on their behalf, by making our life a living testimony to them (John 17:21-23).
Jesus calls us to enter into His Body, to fellowship with Him minute by minute of every day and to enjoy eternity with Him in the new heaven and the new earth (Romans 8:17; 2 Thessalonians 2:14).
We relinquish our human personality and surrender our individuality until we become more like Christ every day. We live in union with our risen Lord and Savior who justifies, sanctifies and will ultimately glorify us.
The Father is in the Son, and the Son is in us by the Spirit of God. We live in union with the Trinity through every moment of our life, listening to the Spirit's direction and not being conformed to the expectations of this world.
Filled with God's Spirit and controlled and guided by Him, we reach spiritual heights we never thought possible. We experience Him working in and through us as He conforms us to the image of Christ.
We press toward the goal of the high calling of God until we reach the measure of the full stature of Christ in us (Ephesians 4:13). We do not stop maturing and growing in Christ until we reach perfection, controlled and guided by the Spirit of God (Matthew 5:48; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3; Ephesians 3:19).
When Christ resurrects the dead in Christ and raptures the church remaining on the earth, we will gain the same immortal body that Christ enjoys right now. We enter the glorious realm of the risen Lord.
We will not age, experience corruption and sickness, or feel emotional and mental distress and anxiety any longer. Even death is swallowed up in the victory of the cross of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:55).
Father God, awaken our apathetic soul and raise us from spiritual death (John 3:16-18). Remind us that Christ lives as a light within us (2 Corinthians 4:6). Help us to pay attention to how we live, so that we use Your wisdom in all that we say and do. Remind us to make the most of the time You give us and not to foolishly use it for our own selfish gains.
Show us Your will for our life and help us to walk in it (Ephesians 5:14-17). Help us to hear the way in which we should walk and to lift up our soul to You alone (Psalm 143:8). Keep us in step with Your Spirit through every trial and blessing we experience (Ephesians 5:14-17).
Live life in full awareness of the immense potential available to us though our union with Christ.
The church is the Body and Bride of Christ, commissioned to carry the gospel into all the world, and especially in our local community. We reach out with the gospel of Christ to friends, relatives, work and hobby associates and neighbors (Mark 16:15-16).
We serve in one ministry in our local church as the Lord calls us to assist, working in an area in which we are interested, and remaining faithful to that calling until God directs us to serve in a new direction in our church body (Romans 12:4-5).
When we see a need, or something that is blocking the growth of our church family, rather than complaining, ridiculing and looking for another church, we put our hand to the plow and help to change things for the better.
This may require that we increase our financial giving, spend more time supporting the church leadership and ministries, taking the initiative to ask the leadership the ways in which we can be the most help to the Body and allowing them to equip us for this ministry.
We do not expect our church to have the personality, ministries, outreach and worship identical to every other church in town, because God gives each congregation His own unique flavor to meet the need for which He designed our particular congregation.
We faithfully pray to the Lord of the Harvest to bring workers into the field; and we serve as an example of a loving, outreaching, soul-winning, hardworking member of the local church where God calls us.
When we do this, we see God's hand faithfully supplying all the needs in our life and in the life of that congregation; and we feel blessed to be a part of His work in our community as we partake in the ministries of the family of God meeting in the facilities which God provided and for which we care and contribute towards.
Father God, raise up congregations across the nation that are committed to one another as Your family. It is so easy for a person to divorce a congregation and go across town to find one that better suits their needs, with no regard to Your will for them in service to that original congregation. Help us to covenant together in faith and to fellowship around the Gospel instead of the worship or preaching style, the size of the bulletin or the amount of lights and instruments used on the stage.
Teach us to agree on the central truths of Your Word and to live by these truths rather than by our personal preferences and carnal desires. Inform us about the true meaning of our spiritual gifts and help us to find a place to use those gifts for the mutual edification of the Body in which You call us to serve.
Remind us that contrary to popular belief, the church is not a gathering of spectators called to criticize the music, minister and ministries of a particular congregation. Before we were even conceived, You called us and placed us in a certain church in order to serve the Body in any needed ministry to which you call us (Ephesians 2:10).
We do not discriminate in the fellowship of the church, but we include every race, nationality, dialect and personality; however, we do insist on members adhering to the primary principles of the scripture and living according to its dictates rather than the liberal, all-inclusive attitude of the world today; everyone is welcome to attend, but God only offers membership in His family to adherents of Biblical Truth.
Many people attempt to develop a relationship with Jesus and are not able to completely enter into this intimate union with Him (Luke 13:23-24). This is because they seek this relationship for all the wrong reasons.
They want the benefits of the fulfilled Christian life, but they do not want to live up to the commitment. Joshua encouraged Israel to choose to serve the Lord, and that is actually what it takes to have this coveted relationship (Joshua 25:15).
God's grace provides the opportunity for salvation to every person ever born (Titus 2:11). He is not willing for anyone to perish in the flames of hell for eternity, but for everyone to come to Him in repentance (2 Peter 3:9; John 3:18).
We do not earn this stature, because it is a free gift; but it does require a choice to commit to the Lord in wholehearted dedication to His ways and His Word (Romans 5:15).
Satan will fight our choice at every turn. He is used to having us in his service and he wants us back. Therefore, spiritual battle is an ongoing event in the Christian's life (1 Timothy 6:12).
Our power of choice is still alive and well in the heart of every Believer. We make choices every day either to serve God, our flesh, the world or the devil.
Satan tempts us as he did Adam and Eve, to make choices from our self-motivated will, independently from God's will for our life (Genesis 2:1-17; Ephesians 2:10). To draw us away from God's best, he uses legitimate needs we have as human beings; but they end up being lies.
God will convict us; but it is up to us to choose to totally surrender our body, soul and spirit to Him; so that His Spirit can heal our body, sanctify our soul and regenerate our spirit.
Father God, remind us that conviction does not save us, it simply humbles us and brings us to the point of repentance. The good news is that Christ in us is greater than any influences outside of us (1 John 4:4). The more we understand our new identity in You as an authentic Believer, the more quickly we grow in spiritual maturity.
With maturity, we find it easier to choose to live in dependence on You for all of our needs. We realize that it is not necessary for us to sin in an attempt to meet our basic needs. When we hunger and thirst for Your righteousness (Matthew 5:6), You supply everything for us according to Your glorious riches (Philippians 4:19).
Conversion only comes through a heart-felt commitment to follow Christ with our life; and it stirs us to read our Bible, to attend worship services, to attend Bible studies and to praise God in every moment through every circumstance – the good, the bad and the ugly.

When a career-ending injury left elite athlete, Lewis Howes, out of work and living on his sister's couch, he knew greatness on the gridiron was no longer a possibility.
It was a crushing blow, but before long he knew he needed to make a change if he was going to bounce back. He started his journey by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches' advice from sports to life off the field. The results were undeniable.
Howes did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after high performance business coach, keynote speaker, and podcast host.
In his new book, The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to
Living Bigger, Loving Deeper and Leaving a Legacy, Lewis outlines the eight principles to help readers achieve their own greatness and shares essential tips and habits he gathered from interviewing "the greats" including Grant Cardone.

The offering period can last for up to 12 months unless the issuer applies for an extension (Rules 441-035-0090 and 441-035-0080).
Prospective investors must also be provided a written disclosure document that includes, among other things, information about the issuer and its management, a discussion about significant factors material to the offering, including what makes the offering risky, the total offering amount, how the proceeds of the sale will be used, any litigation or legal proceedings within the last five years, and any terms and conditions of the securities being offered (Rule 441-035-0120).
Business Technical Service Provider Requirement
To be eligible for the exemption, the issuer must also meet with a business technical service provider and have their business plan reviewed before advertising, offering, or selling securities under this exemption. A business technical service provider is defined as a Small Business Development Center, an Economic Development District, or a not-for-profit incubator, accelerator, or business resource provider approved by the Director (Rules 441-035-0090 and 441-035-0080).
Key Restrictions of the Exemption
This exemption has some restrictions. For example, the exemption is limited to offerings of notes, stocks, and debentures and is unavailable for offerings involving petroleum exploration or production, mining, or any other extractive industries (Rules 441-035-0090 and 441-035-0170).
While the rules do not further restrict how the funds raised can be used, the issuer must use the proceeds from the sale of securities consistent with the intended use of the funds, as stated by the issuer in the disclosure document (Rules 441-035-0090 and 441-035-0120).
Advertising and Solicitation
Advertising and solicitation is permitted under this exemption, but with some conditions. Most notable is that an interested person must affirmatively declare that he or she is an Oregon resident before the person can view the advertising materials. Additionally, the issuer must file a copy of the advertising materials with the Director at least 7 days prior to use (Rule 441-035-0130).
The rules also contain requirements specific to use of the Internet. For example, if the issuer is using its existing website, the issuer must segregate all information relating to the advertising, offer, or sale of the securities on a webpage that is separate from those accessible to the general public (Rule 441-035-0150). A third-party platform provider, which can either be a business technical service provider or other entity approved by the Director, may be used to post advertising and offering documents. However, the platform must similarly segregate the information relating to the securities offering separate from what is accessible to the general public, and may not solicit, sell, or effect transactions unless it is a registered broker-dealer. The rules also state that the platform may only charge a nominal flat fee for the upkeep of the website and may not take an interest in the issuer in exchange for use of the platform (Rule 441-035-0160).
Filing and Reporting Requirements
Notice Filing: Issuers using this exemption must file a notice and pay a $200 fee. The notice must include, among other things, a copy of the offering documents, copy of any proposed advertising materials, and the URL of the website if one will be used (Rule 441-035-0110)
Sales Report: An issuer must file a sales report with the Director no more than 30 calendar days after the expiration date of the offering (Rule 441–35-0200).
Ongoing Reporting: Issuers must provide reports to holders of securities issued under this exemption at least twice a year, and give a copy to the Department. The issuer must report the compensation of directors and the executive officer, and include an explanation and discussion of business operations and its financial condition (Rule 441-035-0200).
Resale Limitations
Securities sold under this exemption can not be resold for 9 months after purchase, unless they are sold back to the issuer or the sale has been registered (Rule 441-035-0100).
Renewable Energy Cooperative Corporations
Section 59.025 (12) of Oregon's Revised Statutes (ORS) exempts renewable energy cooperative corporations from registering i) membership shares or ii) capital stock as securities, subject to certain requirements. 1 Section 59.025 (12) allows qualified renewable energy cooperative corporations to raise up to $1,500,000 per project from non-accredited investors that are part of a "well-defined community." Such non-accredited investors can contribute no more than 10% of that person's liquid net worth. Renewable energy cooperative corporations are required to provide two sets of disclosures covering i) general information about the cooperative corporation and ii) specific material information about the project. Renewable energy cooperatives may "engage in limited advertising" to prospective members by providing general information about the cooperative's operating history and projects. "Engage in limited advertising" does not, however, include general solicitation or offering of investments in specific projects or in the sale of capital stock to the public.
Renewable energy cooperative corporations are associations of persons organized as a cooperative corporation under ORS chapter 62, with the purpose of developing and operating facilities to generate electricity from renewable energy resources, including wind, waste, solar, geothermal, low emission non-toxic biomass, landfill gas and digester gas, wave, tidal and ocean thermal energy, and hydroelectric facilities outside protected areas.

Evolution of bone transplantation: Molecular, cellular and tissue strategies to engineer human bone
Michael J Yaszemski, Richard G. Payne, Wilson C. Hayes, Robert Langer, Antonios G. Mikos
Bone defects occur in a wide variety of clinical situations, and their reconstruction to provide mechanical integrity to the skeleton is a necessary step in the patient's rehabilitation. The current gold standard for bone reconstruction, the autogenous bone graft, works well in many circumstances. However, autograft reconstruction, along with the available alternatives of allogenous bone graft or poly(methylmethacrylate) bone cement, do not solve all instances of bone deficiency. Novel materials, cellular transplantation and bioactive molecule delivery are being explored alone and in various combinations to address the problem of bone deficiency. The goal of these strategies is to exploit the body's natural ability to repair injured bone with new bone tissue, and to then remodel that new bone in response to the local stresses it experiences. In general, the strategies discussed in this paper attempt to provide the reconstructed region with appropriate initial mechanical properties, encourage new bone to form in the region, and then gradually degrade to allow the new bone to remodel and assume the mechanical support function. Several of the concepts presented below are already finding clinical applications in early patient trials.

Is it Blindwells or can we call it Charlestoun?
'T's been a long wait, but the future looks likely to start happening some time soon
Great news from Hargreaves that work might well be starting at the former opencast coalmine known as Blindwells. It's an area destined to have maybe 3,000 new homes over the next 50 years ... and it's got special significance for the 1745 Battle Trust enthusiasts. In the fight to save the battlefield itself over the last decade the route The Prince and Highlanders took at 5am on September 21st 1745 has not been forgotten. They travelled along a route through the marshy ground known as the Riggonhead Defile. It gave them a dawn advantage over Johnnie Cope as the sun rose. That Defile or Trail runs across the area that became the opencast coal mine.
Hargeaves' Master Plan for the area recognises these strong associations with the battle in 1745, and it's taken the opportunity of unavoidable drainage needs there to create a Loch, The Prince's Loch, in the NW corner.
The 1745 Battle Trust is ambitious in four other important respects:
[1] it wants the main avenue south/ north to be known as the Riggonhead Defile/ Trail/ Avenue;
[2] it wants to raise an equestrian statue to the Prince, which would be the first in Scotland, close by the Loch, perhaps using the % for the arts involved;
[3] it proposes that the community's name in future might be Charlestoun rather than Blindwells; and finally
[4] perhaps most ambitiously, it is evaluating whether the NW corner might be an excellent location for the 1745 Battle's Living History Centre that will also exhibit the two tapestries.
So, it's obvs why the Battle Trust is excited that home building work may be coming very soon .......

A change in the legal status of the MtGox bankruptcy case may lead to creditors being reimbursed the bitcoin they lost, rather than the fiat equivalent.
The Tokyo District Court has approved creditors' petition to commence civil rehabilitation proceedings for MtGox. Consequently, the bankruptcy case that resulted from the 2014 hack has been suspended.
An announcement from the designated civil rehabilitation trustee (formerly the bankruptcy trustee), Nobuaki Kobayashi, stated that non-monetary claims are converted into monetary claims in bankruptcy proceedings. In civil rehabilitation, these conversions are not performed. It's possible that creditors will receive payments in bitcoin, though no such statement was made.
"Matters such as the method and timing of payment in the civil rehabilitation proceedings will be determined in the rehabilitation plan established in the civil rehabilitation proceedings."
To complicate matters further, the document goes on to say that the rehabilitation trustee does not plan "to accept specific filing of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoins. Instead, we plan to deem Bitcoin creditors who have filed a proof of claim for other cryptocurrencies proportionate to the number of Bitcoins filed."
During the time the case was in bankruptcy proceedings, there was an attempt to convert cryptocurrency into cash, much to creditors' chagrin. At a March creditors' meeting, Kobayashi was asked why he sold BTC and BCC during a period of declining value for the two cryptocurrencies.
It's unclear how the change in designation to civil rehabilitation will affect these creditors.
"Claims seeking a refund of Bitcoins ("Bitcoin Claims") will also not be converted into monetary claims," the announcement says, seeming to indicate that creditors are likely to be reimbursed with bitcoin rather than have their claims "converted."
Mark Karpelès, the former CEO of MtGox has supported the move to civil rehabilitation, though he claims this change could possibly cost him a fortune. According to a statement he posted on Reddit, in Japanese bankruptcy (as in most countries), creditors can only be paid out the monetary equivalent of the valuation of the asset at the time of the initiation of the bankruptcy. But the value of bitcoin has soared since MtGox entered bankruptcy. On April 24, 2014, the day the bankruptcy liquidation began, bitcoin traded at just under $500. Today, the price is nearly $6,300.
"This means that the claims can be paid back in full, and there will still be over 160,000 bitcoin and bitcoin cash in assets in the Gox estate. The way bankruptcy law works is that if there are any assets remaining after the creditors have been paid in full, then those assets are distributed to shareholders as part of the liquidation."
A large portion of that balance would ultimately go to Karpeles himself.
"I don't want this. I don't want this billion dollars. From day one I never expected to receive anything from this bankruptcy," he wrote.
"There are no plans to resume operations of the Bitcoin exchange operated by MTGOX at this time."
Update: This article has been updated from its original version to provide bitcoin trading prices.

by Alexis Walker Featured in Little Love Stories Volume 2
For years my family and I lived on the north side of Girard Avenue. The guys played ball in the street, the girls played jump rope. We played cards at Ms. Eleanor's house. We partied at the garage on 17th and Master, purchased water ice from Ms. Bay Bay, borrowed flour to bake our pound cakes, and bought our necessities from the Bodega on 15th street. We didn't live under rainbow rays, but the small acts of our community were often a pacifier, soothing the effects of living in "The Hood." With respect to experience, culture, community, and laughter, we were Hood Rich.
But we were infiltrated. Flyers went up everywhere, boldly stating, "We Buy Houses. Any Condition." I recall my neighbor Mr. Briscoe stating that such promotion indicated a major shift in the community as we knew it. His words felt more like the paranoid philosophy of an adult who meant well but erred on the side of exaggeration.
Who wanted to live here except us? Yet each changing season came with a new housing development. We were soon surrounded by construction sites and quickly became a product of gentrification, dubbed "Temple Town." Shout out to my Alma Mater; I am cherry and white all day, but the demographics of "The Hood" went through a facelift, and Mr. Briscoe's paranoid philosophy turned into prophecy.
The block changed so much! It was like watching the evolution of a crazy love story…seeing the attributes that you love most change, struggling to accept the differences, appreciating the growth, but ultimately realizing that you have to let go.
Driving, reminiscing, slowly passing Seybert Street; I pulled over to reflect on my own love story and how it came to an abrupt end.
On a roller coaster full of lows, that night was the type of dip that made your heart drop. Here on Seybert Street, before the developments and street lights illuminated the block, my first love and I came to a fork in the road that forced us to separate permanently. The leading events are still unclear, but I finally found the courage to articulate that I no longer wanted to go on with our relationship.
A scary silence confronted me. He began shaking his head and mumbling under his breath, "F–it then." He walked up the stairs of my home and into my bedroom. Anxiety was thick in the air. His mumblings escalated to "there ain't no reason to live…" My love of 7 years was moving about my room erratically, as if looking for something stashed. My heart was racing; his words scared me, and I fired questions at him.
He wouldn't respond, but I received my answer. He pulled out his gun. He told me, "If you don't want to be with me, it ain't no reason to live." Pushing by me, he rushed down the steps and out of the door. I was right behind him. In my pajamas and slippers, I followed his every move, begging him to stop. "Please talk to me." He walked down the dark and abandoned block of Seybert Street. Facing a concrete wall, he was nestled between bushes and weeds that seem to have grown from the concrete, creating a space submerged in darkness on this already dark night. With the gun in his hand, he insisted that he didn't want to live if I didn't love him anymore.
"But I do still love you." I pleaded with him to put the gun down.
"We can work this out." I asked him to give me the gun.
"Think about your family." I reached my hands out to him.
"You have every reason to live." Silence thickened in the air.
I could see the battle in his eyes and the dark cloud that threatened to stay there; but as if a ray of light seeped through the darkness, he gave me the gun.
Carefully, I put my arms around his neck; he wrapped his arms around my waist, and we stood embraced and shedding tears with no account of time. No shots were fired, but we experienced an emotional death. Despite the promise to work it out, we were broken beyond repair. We both knew it.
As I watch everything around me change, I am grateful that one thing remained the same.
He lived.

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Police in Sevierville say two people died, including the shooter, and a third person was injured in a shooting at a busy shopping center Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting was reported around 3:49 p.m. outside the Coach store at Tanger Outlets.
Police say the gunman shot two people and then shot himself. The adult male gunman and an adult woman died. An adult man was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment.
According to Bob Stahlke with the Sevierville Police Department, the alleged shooter is 21-year-old Leon Steven Jones of Newport/Sevierville, Tenn. The two victims are 24-year-old Olivia Katelyn Cunningham of York, Pa., and 75-year-old John Marr of Templeton, Mass.
Tanger Outlets said in a Facebook post the stores would close at 6 p.m. to allow investigators to work.
"We are grateful to the Sevierville Police for their quick response to the sad and tragic situation that occurred on our property on Tuesday. We closed our stores at 6 p.m. tonight to allow the investigators to do their work. We plan to reopen tomorrow at normal time," management said.

Q: Why $P(\bigcap_{n\geq 1}A_n) = P(|X_n - X| \geq \varepsilon , \forall n \geq 1)$? Let $\{X_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of random variables that converges almost surely to the variable X. Prove that $X_n$ converges to $X$ in probability.
My attempt
Let $\varepsilon >0$. For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let us define the events $$A_n = \bigcup_{k\geq n}(|X_k - X| \geq \varepsilon)$$
This sequence is such that $A_{n+1} \subset A_n$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Since $(|X_n - X|\geq \varepsilon ) \subset A_n$, then $P(|X_n - X|\geq \varepsilon ) \leq P(A_n)$, where $P$ is the probability measure of the sets. Therefore,
\begin{align*}
\lim_{n \to \infty}P(|X_n - X|\geq \varepsilon ) &\leq \lim_{n \to \infty}P(A_n)\\ &=P\left(\lim_{n \to \infty}A_n\right)\\ &=P\left(\bigcap_{n \geq 1}A_n\right)\\ &= P(|X_n -X|\geq \varepsilon, \forall n\geq 1)\\ &= P\left(\lim_{n \to \infty}X_n \neq X\right)\\
&= 0
\end{align*}
My question is this: why $P(\bigcap_{n\geq 1}A_n) = P(|X_n - X| \geq \varepsilon, \forall n\geq 1)$
That is, how to justify this step of the proof? Or, what is the need to do this step?
In order for me to prove that these probabilities are equal, I think I should prove that $\bigcap_{n\geq 1}A_n = \{ |X_n - X| \geq \varepsilon, \forall n\geq 1\}$, however this is not true in general as can be seen in the comments. How can I do that? I would be very grateful if someone can help me understand this part.

A: The intermediate step in your derivation is plain false. The correct one is the following.
$$
\bigcap_{n\geq 1} A_n = \bigcap_{n\geq 1} \bigcup_{k\geq n}\{|X_k - X| \geq \varepsilon\} = \{\forall n\geq 1, \exists k\geq n, |X_k - X| \geq \varepsilon\} = \{X_n \not \to X\}
$$

The new rumor sound sweet. Because the second launch (what I get) shoots you into the Top Hat that must mean we get a decant ride after the Top Hat. I mean to make a launch only for the Top Hat sounds a bit stupid if you ask me. Must be around 6 hours and 15 minutes to go now for the announcement can't wait.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/world-record-breaking-rides-innovative-show-technology-and-an-historic-theme-park-transformation-coming-to-six-flags-in-2013-2012-08-30
For guests who choose to "live life to its fullest", Six Flags Magic Mountain, the undisputed Thrill Capital of the World with more coasters than anywhere else on the planet, is adding yet another record-breaking ride to its unrivaled lineup of world class coasters--Full Throttle, the world's tallest, fastest looping roller coaster. Full Throttle will deliver a "you only live once" adventure as riders accelerate from zero to more than 70 miles per hour on two forward launches, and an unprecedented third backward launch. Riders will experience a record 160-foot loop, plus a never-been-done-before launch up and over a "Top Hat" that traces the outside of the world record loop.
Okay guy's I'm taking back what I said yesterday. I must wait this last 3 and a half hours awake, Okay I won't miss it like that but it comes with the endless waiting.
The rumors are great wonder how many are true but we will know in couple of hours. I'm kinda having a image how the ride should be thanks to them, but I guess it will be far from that.
I must say the only thing I thought was a bit disappointing is that the ride looks short, a lot of fun and a great looking ride but short. But Surly something i want to ride.
metrock
Looks like a very good ride. I love the concept, the placement (on the hill), and the colors (I've been waiting for a black and grey coaster at MM). However, I have to say I am disappointed we didn't didn't get something with massive airtime (though,the top-hat does look promising). And a new themed area? I hope that just means the unused area around the station where the Log Jammer was. I'd hate to see them completely ruin the High Sierra Territory. Having this right next door is already going to take away from the atmosphere of one of the nicer areas of he park.
But, perhaps, the positives do outweigh the negatives on this one. Mr Freeze is one of my favorite coasters, and this seems to take it a step further. I look forward to seeing it go up and most importantly, riding it.

Reuschini
I don't get it. Whats the point of stopping the ride in the tunnel?
I think I'd rather they invested this money in Log Jammer to keep it around, as well as improving other operations around the park. This is nothing like I thought it would be. A longer ride duration may have made me a bigger fan of this ride, as it looks like a lot of good kinetic energy is being lost.
Guess we'll see!
If it didn't stop in the tunnel, it still would have needed to be launched again to make it over the tophat. I like the idea of the backwards launch. It's going to catch a lot of people off guard. And looks like it will provide some interesting hangtime from the back row.
SLUSHIE
I think there is going to be much more than loop, dive-loop thing, second launch, top-hat, done.
Well damn.
While I hoped for more, this still looks pretty impressive. That loop is going to look nuts compared to the first modern loop ever on Revolution. And yeah, seeing the ride in it's true form makes the stop and 2nd launch look super pointless. That top-hat however looks like the best airtime hill anyone could ever ask for.
The graphics/typography and music in the video is... interesting.
Edited August 30, 2012 by SLUSHIE
Pacificoaster
Well, I am glad I kept my expectations low. More or less, this coaster is centralized around that signature element and the coaster could be much longer. The layout could have easily came out of that top hat and banked down to the left and entered a few more airtime hills or hugging the terrain with some more nice banking, but as it stands it ends as, if not more, abruptly than Kingda Ka. It seems that you will be launched at a nice speed out of that tunnel but all of the energy is lost with brakes that start on the descent of the top hat. Regardless, it does look fun and I will be renewing my season pass.

Interesting!!! I know this is an artist conception video, but the trains look very strange. This should be a great addition to the mountain.
Tmcdllr
The top hat at 160 feet on the outside of the loop, pretty interesting, nobody has ever thought of doing this before? I just hope not too many people are let down since a lot were expecting more but in the end it's going to be a really fun ride, that's all that matters to me anyway and it will draw the crowds, which is what matters to the park. I think it's unique, and thrilling and fun and I just don't think people should be upset about it. Yeah maybe it should have been longer and it would have been better with several airtime hills but this is what they are putting in. The front of the park is going to look really cool with Revolution's, Tatsu's, and now Full Throttle's loops right there.
Hey, at least it just has lap bars!
But it looks like in the back you could have three times of hanging time. Going through the Diveloop forwards and backwards are 1 and 2 and the 3th is the Top-Hat. But what's with the YOLO in the start? Come on SFMM your better then that. Kinda like the idea of showing Revolution in the announcement has some sort of thought in it.

A 160ft. drop into a brake run.
Love everything else though. Beautiful loop.
Full Throttle: The World's Tallest and Fastest Looping Coaster
In 2013 Six Flags Magic Mountain is going Full Throttle with another world-record: the tallest, fastest looping roller coaster in the world! Unlike traditional coasters, this unique, one-of-a-kind triple launch coaster will take the coaster experience to the next generation with a never-been-done-before launch up and over a "Top Hat" that traces the outside of a world-record 160-foot loop — plus a zero to 70 miles-per-hour acceleration on two forward launches and one backward launch into and out of an underground tunnel.
Your record-breaking adventure will take place through the park's distinctive mountainous terrain onboard sleek trains that suddenly accelerate from zero to 70 miles-per-hour in the first of three launches, sending you blasting through the first inversion, the inside of the world-record 160-foot tall loop. You'll then enter into a high-banked curve to the right and then to the left as you approach the second gut-wrenching inversion — a Dive Loop that rapidly drops you into a dark underground tunnel. After a brief stop, you'll suddenly be launched backwards up to the high point of the Dive Loop where you'll be dropped and magnetically launched a third time, racing out of the tunnel and through a high G-turn to the left. You'll then shoot up and over the outside of the World Record loop, where you'll experience significant air time and a breath-taking view of the park as you drop back down to Earth, rapidly decelerating and taking the final 180-degree turn to the left, returning to the station where you can catch your breath.
Full Throttle will be located near the front of the park in a newly themed five-acre section where guests will experience high-energy action through fast-paced imagery, sound and lights. With this addition, Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Thrill Capital of the World, firmly holds the coveted "Coaster Capital of the World" crown — with a total of 18 roller coasters — more than any other theme park on the planet.
"Six Flags is known world-wide as the industry leader in next generation thrills. And, bar none, Six Flags Magic Mountain leads the pack, offering the biggest and the best … always," said Bonnie Rabjohn, Six Flags Magic Mountain park president. "As we mark our 42nd anniversary of operation, we're ready to take Southern California by storm, yet again, with the most comprehensive collection of thrilling roller coasters anywhere in the world."
Full Throttle is the perfect addition to the park's coaster collection, joining other adrenaline-pumping coasters, including Tatsu — the tallest, fastest and longest flying coaster in the world; X2 — the world's first and only 5th dimensional coaster; Apocalypse — the next generation of wooden coasters; and Goliath — the "giant among giants" mega coaster.
EDIT: The following was announced during the 2013 Six Flags conference call:
"No rides are planned to be closed during the construction of Full Throttle"
"Full Throttle will run two trains with 18 riders each."

Glad I kept my expectations low.
Looks like a fun ride, but I just don't see this ride being the ride that changes the "run to X2/Tatsu first" mentality of the GP.

I'm stoked! This ride looks like pure adrenaline! The coasters themselves look pretty sleek and the top hat looks to pull some serious airtime! Capacity (18 seater) may not be that bad, seeing how quickly the next coaster is launched as shown in the last part of the video. Great addition to the 'thrill park' lineup, but still have hope for that all elusive giga (most airtime hills and longest coaster) to complete the park.

They lost me at "YOLO."

Looks like a huge waste of momentum, but other than that, seems pretty cool. The only thing I truely hate is how the ride ends right after the top hat. A helix or something would've been cool. At least people can stop complaining about "No airtime".
I don't know whether to love (because its funny) or hate the corny tagline and logo.
"Live it. Be it. Ride it."
Lol. This ride is trying to somehow communicate with people in the 80s.
On a side note, normal Season passes are only $65, pretty cool. The gold pass is $115, so that went up and the normal pass went down. $50 extra seems like a lot for free parking unless you go all the time and don't know a better place to park...

So it's basically a launched version of Scream in terms of intensity and theme, which fits the return to the "Xtreme Park" ways that has been observed over the last year or so.
While it's not overly eye-popping and won't really make any inroads whatsoever in terms of SFMM's ability to compete in its market, it should make for a fun ride. Nice to see the old Tunnel Station finally used again.

Like everyone, I wish it was longer - but for what it is, it looks pretty cool! Definitely something I'd be happy to have at a park near me.
This one looks really awesome, would love for something like this here in Sweden. It's really nice to see that Premier is stepping away from the traditional launch coasters with there two recent installations.
imagineerz
It's the return of the Flying Snake Dive! It's about time! Granted, it looks like a Premier and not an Intamin, but OMG FLYING SNAKE DIVE . And at least they can run multiple trains (Not that they will. Come on, it's Magic Mountain we're talking about here ), hopefully increasing capacity.

"Newly themed 5-acre section"
^I'm more curious about how this will turn out.

Blu-ray Review: 'Non-Stop' Has Formulaic Script But Fresh Thrills

CHICAGO – "Non-Stop" gave audiences more than just "'Taken' on a plane" when it opened last February, and showed that the inflight experience is efficiently vulnerable action thriller territory. With audiences having taken a break from commercial airline chaos after 9/11, "Non-Stop" brought viewers back into the peril of an unsafe flight, but with a leading hero by Liam Neeson at the helm. Nevertheless, even when knowing how the flight ends, "Non-Stop" is a refined thriller that still has a grip on one's attention in a second viewing as well.
Film Review: Liam Neeson Can't Bring 'Non-Stop' in On-Time

I'm a sucker for a well-toasted slice of escapism that employs a singular setting to maximum impact. Liam Neeson trapped on a plane with a devious killer who's trying to extort $150 million from him? Where do line up to buy a ticket? Seriously, this is the kind of Oscar counter-programming that I love this time of year—turn off your mind and take a trip with "Non-Stop".

CHICAGO – "Downton Abbey" became one of the most notable TV phenomenons of the last several years this season as the second installment of the multiple award-winning show became such a part of pop culture that it was even spoofed on "Saturday Night Live."
