Stormwater runoff, and its associated pollutants, is a major environmental problem in urban watersheds where the runoff is either channeled into surface water bodies or directed through wastewater treatment plants prior to discharge. However, implementation of stormwater management practices requires technical expertise for evaluation and design, a factor that challenges the budgets available. To address this funding challenge and to promote learning, the Millersville Master of Science in Integrated Science Applications (MSISA) Program and the Lancaster County Conservancy (LCC) developed a partnership. Site stormwater evaluations and designs were performed for three sites as part of the Lancaster City Urban Greening Initiative. Student groups in the MSISA Spring 2015 Stormwater Management course conducted site visits, met with stakeholders, and performed hydrologic evaluation for multiple BMP design options. The projects simultaneously provided real-world learning opportunities for students while benefiting the community and regional water quality. Students were able to interact with stakeholders in addition to acquiring design experience. Meanwhile, the LCC and property owner receive technical assistance for sites that may otherwise be cost prohibitive. The presentation will focus on management options at a Lancaster City residential property. A raingarden and an underground infiltration basin based on recommendations and designs from the students' report were installed during summer 2015 and have been operating successfully. Additionally, funding is being sought to install a second student design involving a constructed wetland to treat roof runoff from the education center at the LCC Climbers Run Nature Preserve. Additional projects are planned for spring 2016 to build on these initial successes.

Catching the big wave: 'Universal ripple' could hold the secret to high-temperature superconductivity
by Barney
UBC researchers have discovered a universal electronic state that controls the behavior of high-temperature superconducting copper-oxide ceramics.
The work, published this week in the journal Science, reveals the universal existence of so-called 'charge-density-waves' — static ripples formed by the self-organization of electrons in the material's normal state. These ripples carry the seeds out of which superconductivity emerges.
"Our understanding of superconductivity in the cuprate family has been hindered by the diversity of intertwining electronic orders," says UBC PhD student Riccardo Comin, lead author on the paper with colleagues at UBC's Quantum Matter Institute, the Max-Planck-UBC Centre for Quantum Materials, and a consortium of research institutions in Canada, the United States and Japan.
"These new findings suggest the existence of a universal charge-ordering that is common to all cuprate materials, and uncover its connection to the emergence of superconducting behavior."
The work also proves that researchers can interchangeably use two techniques — resonant X-ray scattering or scanning tunnelling microscopy — to probe the mysteries of charge-density-waves.
"These are fundamental, but very subtle, features which leave only a faint spectroscopic fingerprint," says UBC professor Andrea Damascelli, leader of the research team. "The success in detecting these tiny ripples in the electron distribution demonstrates the far-reaching power of these complementary techniques, and their pivotal role in advancing our understanding of quantum materials."
Superconductivity — the phenomenon of electricity flowing with no resistance — occurs in some materials at very low temperatures. High-temperature cuprate superconductors are capable of conducting electricity without resistance at record temperatures, higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Because of their unrivaled characteristics, they represent the best candidates to advance current superconductor technology, which includes a broad range of applications such as: quantum computers, MRI, high-precision magnetometry, levitating high-speed trains, and lossless power lines.
The breakthrough was propelled by a partnership between UBC and the German Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, recently established under the joint Max-Planck-UBC Centre for Quantum Materials, and by the ongoing collaboration with the UBC-affiliated X-ray Scattering Beamline 'REIXS' at the Canadian Light Source. The UBC-Max Planck partnership is co-directed by UBC Professor George Sawatzky and MPI Director Bernhard Keimer, also coauthors of the work.

Home automation systems have typically been installed in one of two ways -- the economical, do-it-yourself model, and the expensive custom-designed installation. Both approaches have limited the potential size of the market.
However, a third way is emerging and it promises to fuel tremendous market growth. Home automation as a managed service, provided by a broadband service provider.
Homeowners will be able to monitor their homes remotely, and control basic features such as lighting or air conditioning. These new managed home automation services will both compete with and complement the traditional home security alarm market.
According to the latest market study by ABI Research, there will be more than nine million security cellular wireless M2M connections active in the U.S. market before 2015.
ABI Practice director Sam Lucero says, "Traditional security firms such as ADT will increasingly be joined in the mainstream by these new providers offering managed home automation services."
Verizon Wireless announced such a service at CES this year, and Comcast is currently trialing one in the Houston, Texas area.
They key concept is that these are not primarily security alarm systems but basic home automation systems -- they can incorporate a security alarm system as part of the overall offering. ABI sees this new model becoming mainstream in the 2012-2013 time frame.
However, there are factors that may impact market growth. The key inhibitors are the newness of the technology to the service providers, and to potential subscribers. A significant consumer education process will therefore be required.

Hi, I have an object filled with 22 arrays (major tarot cards), and I'm trying to only map 3 cards at a time as opposed to seeing all of them displayed at once. I was trying to use filter and then mapping the filtered value to accomplish this but to no avail. Any tips or response are much appreciated. Thanks!
Here are the values of each individual tarot array:
desc: "A youthful figure in the robe of a magician, having the countenance of divine Apollo, with smile of confidence and shining eyes. Above his head is the mysterious sign of the Holy Spirit, the sign of life, like an endless cord, forming the figure 8 in a horizontal position . About his waist is a serpent-cincture, the serpent appearing to devour its own tail. This is familiar to most as a conventional symbol of eternity, but here it indicates more especially the eternity of attainment in the spirit. In the Magician's right hand is a wand raised towards heaven, while the left hand is pointing to the earth. This dual sign is known in very high grades of the Instituted Mysteries; it shews the descent of grace, virtue and light, drawn from things above and derived to things below. The suggestion throughout is therefore the possession and communication of the Powers and Gifts of the Spirit. On the table in front of the Magician are the symbols of the four Tarot suits, signifying the elements of natural life, which lie like counters before the adept, and he adapts them as he wills. Beneath are roses and lilies, the flos campi and lilium convallium, changed into garden flowers, to shew the culture of aspiration. This card signifies the divine motive in man, reflecting God, the will in the liberation of its union with that which is above. It is also the unity of individual being on all planes, and in a very high sense it is thought, in the fixation thereof. With further reference to what I have called the sign of life and its connexion with the number 8, it may be remembered that Christian Gnosticism speaks of rebirth in Christ as a change "unto the Ogdoad." The mystic number is termed Jerusalem above, the Land flowing with Milk and Honey, the Holy Spirit and the Land of the Lord. According to Martinism, 8 is the number of Christ."
meaning_rev: "Physician, Magus, mental disease, disgrace, disquiet."
meaning_up: "Skill, diplomacy, address, subtlety; sickness, pain, loss, disaster, snares of enemies; self-confidence, will; the Querent, if male."
name: "The Magician"
name_short: "ar01"
type: "major"
value: "1"
value_int: 1

A: .filter returns a new array instead of modifying the one you called it on. So the line
props.list.cards.filter(list => list.value_int === one)

doesn't actually do anything.
Instead, try
let cardArray;

if (props.list.cards) {
    cardArray = props.list.cards.filter(list => list.value_int === one)
    console.log(props.list.cards)
    cardArray = cardArray.map((card) =>{return (<ThreeCardMap value={card.value_int} name={card.name} meaningup={card.meaning_up} meaningdown={card.meaning_rev}/>)})
}

Alternatively, since map and filter return new arrays, you can also chain them together:
if (props.list.cards) {
    cardArray = props.list.cards
        .filter(list => list.value_int === one)
        .map((card) => { return (<ThreeCardMap value={card.value_int} name={card.name} meaningup={card.meaning_up} meaningdown={card.meaning_rev}/>) })
}

There are lots of other ways you arrange things too – the important thing is to use the result of .filter.

A: You should be able to do this pretty easily by appending slice before you map. It would look like this:
cardArray = props.list.cards.slice(0, 2).map((card) =>{return (<ThreeCardMap value={card.value_int} name={card.name} meaningup={card.meaning_up} meaningdown={card.meaning_rev}/>)})

By doing it this way, you could remove the filters as well.
EDIT: You could do this the same way using filter. As Nicholas mentioned in his answer, both slice and filter return a new array, which was your original problem. Whichever one you use, you have to map on this new array by appending it. You can read more here about which one is more optimal to use depending on the size of your data set.

November 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — In a press conference on November 19, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and other top Trump attorneys laid out evidence of voter fraud in the November 3 election in cities across several swing states. Fraudulent election practices in these predominately Democratic areas were not isolated events, they said.
Giuliani asked, "What happened on the morning of November 3, when they were going to count this new kind of ballot, this mail-in ballot? Did every Democrat leader — in Pennsylvania, and in Michigan, and in Wisconsin, and in Georgia, and in Nevada, and in Arizona — they all wake up and all separately have the same idea?"
STATES: Stop election certification while fraud investigations continue
In a bombshell press conference, President Trump's legal team has revealed evidence of alleged massive voter fraud in several constituencies key to election victory in 2020.
Appealing to every American, Rudy Giuliani, Team Trump's lead counsel, said: "Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots. Give us an opportunity to prove it in court, and we will."
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking state legislators, IN EVERY U.S. STATE, not to allow election certification of their state until all of the evidence has been ruled on and every legal challenge exhausted.
This is not about President Trump or former Vice President Biden...at this stage, our republic and the integrity of our elections literally hang in the balance.
The claims of voter fraud made by Team Trump were very alarming, but here are some of the worst:
The lack of oversight and security of mail-in ballots;
Direction by some election officials to election workers to violate election statutes;
The eviction of Republican observers who were kept away from inspecting ballots in some cities;
Instances of 'overvoting', where more ballots were cast in some precincts than registered voters;
The arrival of thousands of ballots - all marked for Biden - at one count center, in the middle of the night
And, all of the these claims are backed-up by sworn affidavits of people who allegedly witnessed these fraudulent actions take place.
Please CLICK HERE to read LifeSiteNews' article detailing the evidence of alleged voter fraud brought to light by Team Trump.
And please CLICK HERE to see an example of overvoting, also alluded to by Giuiliani as having occurred in Michigan.
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition asking ALL 50 STATE LEGISLATURES to wait till all claims of voter fraud have been investigated and litigated before certifying the election results for their states.
Thank you for helping to see that justice is served and that all alleged wrongdoing can be brought to light.
Thank you for helping to secure our republic.

"Did they all separately have the idea that were going to put Republican inspectors in pens? We're not going to let them look at mail-in or absentee ballots?"
"This was a plan," Giuliani said. "You'd have to be a fool not to realize that."
He referred to numerous reports that Republicans poll-watchers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia have been denied access to the ballot-counting process on Election Day and after. Giuliani stated that the Trump campaign has had contact with "50 to 60 witnesses" of attempts to block poll-watchers in Pennsylvania alone. Video evidence has shown numerous election-monitors in Philadelphia stopped from entering polling sites and ballot-counting centers in the city during Election Week.
The former mayor added that "we are now at a count of 682,770 ballots for which we have affidavits, that there was no inspection of that ballot, at the time that it was entered in the vote." He said, "If you count the lawful votes, Trump won Wisconsin, by a good margin. Indeed, if you count the lawful votes in Pennsylvania, he won it by about 300,000 votes."
Giuliani also pointed to testimony of illegal ballot-curing, duplicate voting, voting by non–state residents, and vote coaching by election officials, among other things. Each of these types of fraud has been alleged by election workers and voters from battleground states, as detailed in publicly available affidavits and recent lawsuits.
"They carried it out in places they could get away with it," Giuliani said about Democratic officials. "They didn't carry it out in neutral places" or "where the law is respected."
"I think the logical conclusion is this is a common plan, a common scheme, that comes directly from the Democrat Party and it comes from the candidate." He continued, "That's the reason why Hillary Clinton said don't conceded, even if you're losing. That's the reason we had a Freudian slip from the candidate, when he said he had the best voter fraud team in the country."
"That's the reason why he probably didn't have to go out and campaign. He had to have known what they we're going to do. This had to be planned in advance," Giuliani said, calling voter fraud a "national conspiracy."
Biden boasted on PBS Frontline days before the election about having "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics." Liberals have described the statement as "a slip of the tongue."
Hillary Clinton declared in August that "Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances." "I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch," she said.
Two months earlier, the "Transition Integrity Project," a group including John Podesta, the 2016 Clinton campaign chairman, gamed out an election scenario that featured Biden refusing to concede. Podesta, along with numerous journalists and the former head of the DNC, imagined a "Biden Campaign's retraction of its election night concession" and Biden encouraging liberal states "to secede from the Union."
Giuliani and fellow Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis also discussed potential systemic election interference related to Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion voting machines were involved in Election Day glitches that impacted over 86,000 ballots across at least four battleground states.
Ellis said employees of Dominion helped manipulate vote totals for election officials, saying the Trump team has "testimony of different workers admitting" to voter fraud perpetrated with Dominion equipment. She singled out Detroit, where "Dominion's highest level employees or officers" were present at Detroit's election operations center, she said.
Dominion Voting Systems has been linked to several high-profile Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, Senator Barbara Boxer, and Representative Brad Ellsworth, whose former aides are now Dominion lobbyists.
The company has reported ties to Republicans, particularly in Georgia, where Dominion machines were implemented statewide last year. Georgia governor Brian Kemp's former campaign manager is another Dominion lobbyist. The state's top election official, secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, has accepted thousands of dollars in campaign donations from a major Dominion subsidy.
A Trump campaign lawyer sued Raffensperger earlier this week over an extra-statutory agreement that the secretary signed with Democrats in March mandating extra time for voters to fix possibly compromised ballots.
Giuliani, Powell, and Ellis spoke of Dominion's connections to the Venezuelan government as well. Powell noted that Dominion purchased Sequoia Voting Systems, which previously was a subsidiary of a company called Smartmatic.
Smartmatic, founded by a Venezuelan national, helped to provide election equipment for Venezuela's rigged 2004 recall referendum stolen by incumbent dictator Hugo Chávez. In 2005, Smartmatic branched out into the American election technology market, purchasing U.S.-based Sequoia, before selling it in response to a congressional inquiry.
As the Associated Press stated days ago, "experts say it's difficult to know for certain whether some Sequoia code may be used in Dominion's software because of the industry's limited transparency."
Giuliani concluded, saying, "If we let this happen, we're going to become Venezuela. We cannot let this happen to us. We cannot allow these crooks, because that's what they are, to steal an election from the American people. They elected Donald Trump. They didn't elect Joe Biden.

Temporary Jobs to Grow 13 Percent Over the Next Five Years, According to New Research from CareerBuilder
Study Identifies Hot Occupations and Metros for Temporary Employment
CHICAGO, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Is the growth in temporary jobs here to stay? Temporary help services was among the first industries to add jobs when the recession officially ended, growing 15 percent from 2009 to 2010 and 57 percent from 2009 to 2014.
Nearly 3 million people are employed in temporary jobs today, and new analysis from CareerBuilder shows that number will continue to rise in 2015 and beyond. Temporary employment is expected to grow 3 percent (75,384 jobs) from 2014 to 2015 and 13 percent (354,877 jobs) from 2014 to 2019.
The study is based on data from Economic Modeling Specialists Intl (EMSI), CareerBuilder's labor market analysis arm that pulls data from over 90 national and state employment resources.
"Temporary employment will continue on an upward trajectory as companies look for ways to quickly adapt to market dynamics," said Eric Gilpin, President of CareerBuilder's Staffing & Recruiting and Healthcare divisions. "Two in five U.S. employers expect to hire temporary or contract workers this year, which opens new doors for workers who want to build relationships with different organizations and explore career options."
CareerBuilder compiled a list of fast-growing occupations for temporary employment from 2014 to 2019, and a list of metros with the greatest concentration of temporary jobs today. Among occupations that pay less than $15 per hour*, temporary employment is expected to grow in double digits in a variety of areas:
Temp Jobs (2014)
% Change (2014 - 2019)
Median Hourly Earnings
Gaming Dealers
Childcare Workers
Cooks, Restaurant
Demonstrators and Product Promoters
Retail Salespersons
Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers
Taxi Drivers and Chauffeurs
Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners
Pharmacy Technicians
Among occupations that pay $15 or more per hour*, hot areas for temporary employment include:
Computer Systems Analysts
Computer User Support Specialists
Software Developers, Applications
Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers
Maintenance and Repair Workers, General
Machinists
Construction Laborers
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive
Twenty metro areas have a concentration of temporary jobs that is greater than the 2 percent national average, with major manufacturing cities leading the way. The top ten metros with the highest percentage of temporary jobs in relation to overall employment are:
Total Workforce 2014
Temp Workforce 2014
% Share of Temp Jobs
Grand Rapids-Wyoming, MI
Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, IN
Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN
Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, WI
In a separate CareerBuilder and Harris Poll study, 46 percent of employers reported that they plan to hire temporary or contract workers in 2015, up from 42 percent last year. Of these employers, more than half (56 percent) plan to transition some temporary or contract workers into full-time, permanent roles.
*Median hourly earnings covers anyone working in that occupation whether they are temporary or full-time, permanent staff.

It took a few sessions to realize this fine gentleman suffered mightly with the symtoms of Asperger Syndrome, which he kept well managed and thoroughly hidden.However he did not start off as stereotypically autistic. Contrary to the stereotyoes of adults on the spectrum, my patient displayed no "meltdown" behavior, was keenly (TOO keenly) aware of people's reactions to him and exhibited no bizarre special interests or encyclopedic knowledge of vaccuum models.In fact, initially he presented as many of my patients do: shy, articulate, witty. In fact, "Joe", as we'll call him, socialized quite well.

Trump travel ban
Kellyanne Conway clarifies comment about false 'Bowling Green massacre'
Trump aide claims she meant 'Bowling Green terrorists' when defending travel restrictions with inaccurate claim that Obama banned Iraqi refugees in 2011

'Bowling Green massacre': debunking the attack that never happened
A top aide to President Trump said on Friday she misspoke when she cited a 2011 "massacre" in Kentucky that never happened.
A day earlier, during an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Kellyanne Conway defended Trump's ban on immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations by saying that former president Obama instituted a similar policy for Iraqi refugees in 2011.
"President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized, and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre," Conway said. "Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."
Kellyanne Conway blames refugees for 'Bowling Green massacre' that never happened
Conway tweeted on Friday morning that she meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists" during the interview.

On @hardball @NBCNews @MSNBC I meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists" as reported here:

Her description of the 2011 Obama administration policy as a ban was also a mischaracterization, which she didn't correct.
Obama never banned Iraqi refugees or other Iraqi travelers from coming to the US. His administration did slow down the processing for Iraqis seeking special immigrant visas, which are given to translators and interpreters who worked with the US in that country.
The slowdown was prompted by the May 2011 arrest of two men in Kentucky charged with plotting to send weapons and money to al-Qaida operatives abroad. Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, were mistakenly admitted to the US as Iraqi refugees in 2009 and resettled in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Alwan and Hammadi are in prison after pleading guilty. They were never accused of plotting to launch attacks inside the US.
Conway later returned to the topic in response to a tweet from Hillary Clinton's daughter Chelsea. "Very grateful no one seriously hurt in the Louvre attack … or the (completely fake) Bowling Green Massacre," Clinton wrote. "Please don't make up attacks.
"You can't 'invent' quality candidates either," Conway replied. "I misspoke; you lost the election."
According to state department data, 9,388 Iraqi refugees were admitted to the US during the 2011 budget year. The data also shows that Iraqi refugees were admitted every month during the 2011 calendar year.
In addition, more than 7,800 Iraqis were allowed into the US on non-immigrant visas, including tourists, during the 2011 budget year, government data show.


Selecting an agent to purchase a home is an important decision. Fortunately for you as a buyer, our commission is paid by the Seller. But just because you are not paying out of your own pocket, doesn't mean that you shouldn't be selective and demand certain levels of experience and professionalism.
Experience – An agent doesn't need 20 years of experience to provide excellent advice and service to purchase a home. But they should have a minimum of a handful of successful transactions in recent months. We see changes to contracts all the time so somebody that is a full-time agent and has completed transactions recently would be our recommendation.
Select an agent with proper credentials. If they carry designations such as Seniors Specialist or Luxury and that is relevant to you, that should carry some weight.
What is your availability to look at homes. If you work 9-5 and the agent can't show you homes on the weekend, that will be a problem.
Silver Real Estate Group is committed to the success of every client. We love working with buyers and we won't stop until we find you the perfect home. Call us today for a consultation!


Attitudes, goals, and teamwork can make a significant difference in the eventual success of a long, complex project. In many cases, a project team literally decides to succeed. Not through a genuine desire on the part of the team to be successful (all teams have this), but through the evolution of a shared attitude among the team members that the project will succeed no matter what. This attitude is both powerful and sustaining. Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, stresses that "if you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right". Those teams that think they can, by actually visualizing the project at a successful state of completion, have created the frame of mind necessary to get them through the inevitable technical and business obstacles which crop up during every complex development effort. Those teams that think they can't, will be stopped dead by a seemingly nonpassable hurdle every time. This is simply the difference between doing difficult, creative thinking when it is necessary, or just conceding defeat because the solution will require too much effort.
In many other cases, a project team literally decides to fail. In their book Peopleware, Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister coined the term "teamacide" to describe this situation. The group literally makes a conscience decision (without really discussing it in the open) to cause the project to fail. It may be because of personal conflicts, or technical frustrations, or a lack of business client support. Whatever the source, the team undergoes an attitude shift, for the worse. This can be devastating to a project. Roger Allen Raby points out that "a bad attitude is the worst thing that can happen to a group of people. It's infectious." Once one person has developed a negative attitude, the other team members can also be exposed, and before long, one by one, everyone on the team catches varying degrees of the condition. The only truly effective antidote is the attitude of the team leader. He or she must remain disciplined and see the team through these dips in morale.
The overriding goal of the team must be to achieve the underlying business purpose of the system. But getting to a successful completion can mean achieving numerous milestone goals along the way. The team must have a clear vision of each of these short-term milestone goals as well as their impact on the long term technical project business goal.
The job of the team leader is to get the team members to successfully evolve through each successive phase of this lifecycle. This means that a sharp awareness of the state of the team must be maintained. In addition, the milestone and long term goals must be continuously be reviewed with the team as a whole. Progress must become the property of the group.

ENERGY Hazelwood is vital to Australia's power supply
Gas, power crises are due to renewables obsession by Peter Westmore
by Peter Westmore
News Weekly, March 25, 2017
Despite Australia having vast reserves of natural gas and coal, state and federal governments have pursued policies that have caused an unprecedented shortage of electrical capacity, and the threat of serious shortages of gas for residential and industrial use.
Generous subsidies for green energy and ideologically driven opposition to fossil fuels, coupled with the closure of base-load power stations in South Australia and Victoria as a result of green power subsidies, are forcing enormous rises in electricity prices and leading to unprecedented unreliability of supply.
State government-imposed targets for electricity generated from wind and solar energy, coupled with policies which give renewable energy priority over base-load power, have made some of Australia's large base-load power stations uneconomic.
Base-load power stations, usually fuelled by black or brown coal, need to run continuously, and produce electricity for prices that range from 5¢ per kilowatt/hour to 10¢/kwh. Since electricity generation and distribution was privatised in most states in the 1990s, the new owners cut maintenance, and had no incentive to produce more electricity than the minimum required.
As a result, the low-cost coal-fired power stations do not have sufficient capacity to meet the daily peaks in demand (peak load) that occur in the mornings and evenings, and if present trends continue, will be unable to meet base-load power demands.
The shortfall has been met by alternative energy, natural gas and hydro-electricity from Tasmania and the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
Low returns on base-load power, along with an ideologically driven campaign against low-cost coal, have led to a lack of investment, culminating in the closure of the Port Augusta power stations in South Australia, and the imminent closure of the huge Hazelwood Power Station in Victoria, which generates about a quarter of the state's power.
No base-load stations have been built to replace them, although demand continues to rise. The announcement by the Weatherill Government in South Australia that it will build a new 250-megawatt government-owned gas-fired power station in SA, and support a new privately owned power station, together with incentives to develop the state's gas reserves, is welcome.
Despite the Greens' claims that we should rely on renewable energy (particularly solar and wind), each is fundamentally unreliable as a source of constant power.
Claims that solar and wind power can be stored in batteries is only partly true. Despite improvements in battery technology, it remains an expensive way to supply back-up power, and separately, once the battery has discharged, it is useless until recharged.
Despite the claims of the Greens, there is not one country in the developed world that relies on renewable energy to supply base-load power.
A separate issue has emerged with shortages in the supply of gas.
Despite the fact that the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) is responsible for managing the Australian Energy Market, and Australia is one of the world's largest producers of natural gas, there is not enough gas in Australia to meet demand, and the cost of gas has skyrocketed over the past year.
The impact on major Australian companies has been very serious.
BHP Billiton, Australia's largest mining company, which owns coalmines in Queensland, the Olympic Dam mine in South Australia and iron ore mines in Western Australia, recently made a submission to the review of the National Energy Market being conducted by the Chief Scientist.
BHP said that it expected the energy costs in its Eastern Australian operations to increase by an aggregate 150 per cent between 2015 and 2017. It suffered a 42 per cent rise in power prices in 2016, and expects the price to rise by 78 per cent this year.
BHP said the soaring prices challenged the company's ability to remain competitive in global markets, "particularly given that Australia is already one of the higher-cost mining jurisdictions in the world".
Apart from soaring prices, BHP has also been adversely affected by the power outages last year, which cost it around $150 million. The total cost of the blackouts last September in South Australia have been put at $450 million, according to Business SA.
With SA dependent on an electricity interconnector with Victoria, and Victoria's power supplies to be reduced significantly with the closure of Hazelwood, the likelihood of further price rises and blackouts in 2017 and beyond is increasing.
The problem is not confined to South Australia. If present trends continue, the large manufacturing states – Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland – will be severely impacted in the years ahead.
State Labor governments in South Australia, Victoria and Queensland have aggravated the problem through imposing mandatory renewable energy targets of up to 50 per cent of total energy generated.
But the National Energy Market Operator has long known of these policies, and has done little to tackle the crisis. In the absence of any credible alternative, the Federal Government must step in to ensure that all available power sources, including coal, are kept in operation.
Peter Westmore is national president of the National Civic Council.


Different charge storage mechanisms in electrochemical energy storage devices are reviewed, including non-Faradaic capacitive, Faradaic capacitive, Faradaic non-capacitive, and their combinations. Specifically, Faradaic capacitive (pseudocapacitive) storage and Faradaic non-capacitive (Nernstian) storage are attributed to the transfer of delocalised and localised valence electrons, respectively. Mathematical and graphical expressions of the respective storage performances are presented. The account is made especially for asymmetrical electrochemical capacitors (AECs), supercapattery and supercabattery. Both hypothetical and experimental examples are presented to demonstrate the merits of supercapattery that combines capacitive and Nernstian electrodes. Enhanced storage performance is shown by properly pairing and balancing the properties of the negatrode (negative electrode) and positrode (positive electrode) in the AEC or supercapattery. In addition, the design, laboratory manufacturing and performance of several stacks of bipolarly connected AEC cells are assessed in terms of commercial feasibility and promise.

Former Head Girl Elle Shares Her Story
When former Head Girl, Elle Pound (2005), was in Year 12 her careers counsellor said to her, "You don't have to go to university in Perth. There are so many more options". That one statement opened up Elle's world and ultimately changed the course of her life.
Rather than making the traditional crossing of the river to attend UWA, Elle took up a scholarship to Bond University on the Gold Coast. Moving across the country to attend university away from family and friends was an eye-opener for Elle who had lived in Perth her whole life.
Elle changed her majors a couple of times over the course of the next few years, and eventually finished her three-year degree, a Bachelor of Business (Communications), in two and a half years. She then returned to Perth and employment at Channel 10 in out-of-home media sales. From there she went to a marketing consultancy where she became fascinated with the study of human behaviour and consumer decision making.
In Perth, Elle found herself very caught up in achieving material success. She saw people around her making money and she thought that's what she wanted too. However, if we're all honest, that was the kind of place Perth was during the boom. She found herself questioning if Perth was the right place for her to further her career.
By 2013, Elle was restless and looking for more. She and her boyfriend Luke packed up their lives and travelled for six months. She had always been attracted to the allure of the New York advertising exec life, so that's where they headed. On the way, they married in Las Vegas. Far removed from home and the big wedding she had imagined in Perth, the act of getting married was about being together and being best friends and knowing that they wanted to be on this adventure together.
New York was all Elle imagined. It was full of people being exactly who they wanted to be. She thrived in an environment that held so much diversity and opportunity. Their New York life shifted to take on a different feel with the birth of their first daughter. They quickly outgrew their third-floor walk-up apartment in Brooklyn, and when they learned they were expecting a second daughter, pursued an opportunity to move West to Portland, Oregon where Elle would be Executive Director of a strategy and research firm.
The birth of her two daughters changed the way she perceived her life. Her definition of prosperity changed. Prosperity came to mean, doing good every day.
Living in the United States taught Elle a number of skills. She relearned how to make friends. It was easy in Perth and at school, yet, in New York, and later Portland, she was an outsider, a new mum and quite isolated. However, she built her place in those cities and the friends she made she believes she will have for a lifetime.
An observation she made in her work life was that Americans were very confident and competitive. If she was going to progress in the corporate world, Elle had to learn to sell herself. She needed to honestly assess and recognise her worth and learn to articulate that in an authentic and humble way. This has been a useful skill but not one that came naturally as a typical self-deprecating Australian.
The greatest learning curve for Elle in America was accepting that she had to let go of control. As a working mum she says she had to acknowledge that, "To do it all, I couldn't do it all. I wanted my career and I wanted to be with my children, but I had to let go of parts of each." So, Elle and Luke employed a full-time nanny and leant on the support networks they'd fostered in each city.
After ten weeks of maternity leave after each child, Elle returned to work. She cried in the shower and felt guilty about working full-time. However, she says that decision gave space for Luke to become an amazing dad and empowered them both to share the love and load of parenting.
This month, Elle and Luke have returned to Perth. The pull of extended family was very strong. She still feels unsettled as they begin to put roots back down in Perth, but knows she wants the girls to attend Santa Maria College and, for now, Perth feels like the right decision.
Elle says that her adventures in the world have allowed her to return to Perth "with a huge dose of humility, gratitude for my privilege and consciousness that most of my problems really are not that significant. Living away cemented us as a family unit. We were all we had, and we made it work and we problem-solved. We had so much fun just being the four of us. I don't want us to ever get too comfortable or complacent in life – there are always adventures to be had."
When asked about the impact Santa Maria has had on her life, Elle says it has been massive. When she became a parent and started to consider the moral compass she wanted to instill in her girls, it led her back to the Mercy values that had strongly impacted her. She says it's a special school and she wants her daughters to experience that too.

My Cup is Full with Author Friends: Books I've Loved, My To-Read List & a Giveaway!
I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted, but life, book/writing coaching others, writing my own someday book babies, and, most wonderfully, bringing LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER to the community anyone who knows me will tell you it's no secret I love, has taken over. Also moving. Also the holidays. And most recently a most exciting endeavor, my husband's soon-to-embark food truck, Baja Gringo Tacos! Yes, someday there'll be a cookbook in our future, too. But for now, we've been eating a LOT of tacos as he experiments and perfects the recipes that have filled our boy since we lived in San Diego. The story of what this means to my husband, to our family, is on simmer. But for now I'll just say that it makes me very happy to once again bear witness to the dimples that won my heart in the first place.
This chilly Easter weekend, with night-time temps that are still a bit too cold for making tacos in the truck, spring cleaning in preparation for a long overdue visit from my stepdaughter and her husband has me counting the numerous books cluttering my coffee table and about every other flat surface. Is Evelyn Woods speed reading still a thing? Because I need to invest if I'm going to keep up with the many prolific authors I'm blessed to know personally, even if in some cases, it's only online. Getting to know authors is something I've felt driven to do as I battle my own writing doubts, demons, and dragons. We all have them. Some of us are simply farther ahead in the conquering department. Holding their books, ruffling the pages, taking a whiff, and brushing my hand over the signatures of authors I've met in person and built friendships with online makes me feel that one day publishing a book--sooner rather than later--is possible for me, too. And you all know how I feel about POSSIBLE.
I know that my own "authordom" is about managing my time and prioritizing the completion phase of those projects on which I'm already so close I can smell the ink. But I also know that the same drive in me and my family that makes my husband's irreverent, anti-establishment, stick-it-to-the-man, cleaner eating and naturally gluten free taco truck a reality that makes sense for us, will open my work and my life up to critique and criticism. I have to acknowledge it: that fear is a part of what's held me back. There's so much nastiness and judgment online. It can be downright scary to put yourself, and by default your kids, out there.
Which brings me to the topic of the first book on my to-read list, Galit Breen's, "Kindness Wins."
From Amazon: When freelance writer Galit Breen's kids hinted that they'd like to post, tweet, and share photos on Instagram, Breen took a look at social media as a mom and as a teacher and quickly realized that there's a ridiculous amount of kindness terrain to teach and explain to kids―and some adults―before letting them loose online. So she took to her pen and wrote a how-to book for parents who are tackling this issue with their kids.
I have a twelve-year-old boy who suddenly thinks he's made of stuff that warrants his own Instagram account. I'm listening!
What Amazon doesn't tell us is why Galit set out to write this book in the first place. The author, herself, was a victim of online bullying and downright heartless cruelty. Breen published a beautiful piece on Huffington Post entitled, "Twelve Secrets Happily Married Women Know." In it, she shared a beautiful snapshot of her and her husband on their wedding day. The post went viral. What followed was a troll-fest rife with vitriol and hate directed, not at her words, but at her weight. One of the reasons (besides the fact that one of the wealthiest women in the world doesn't believe in paying writers who publish on her website) I, myself, have never published on HuffPo is the reputation that played out right under Galit's original post. Check out what Galit had to say about the experience and what became her book here, on her Twin Cities Live appearance. Kindness Wins releases this Tuesday, April 7th, and is available for preorder. I can't wait for my copy to arrive!
Next on my to-read list is another book that releases this Tuesday, April 7th. This one features a topic that's near and dear to my heart, and it's brought to us by a woman who shares the mission of online and in person kindness, compassion, and understanding. That has to be what's at the motherhood heart of the national, 39-city movement that in it's sixth season also celebrates the book, "Listen to Your Mother: What She Said Then, What We're Saying Now." Ann Imig, founder and national director of the live stage show and social media extravaganza, has compiled and edited a selection of some of the amazing stories that first graced Listen to Your Mother microphones and stages across the country. Yes, you can watch over a thousand archived videos from past seasons, but there's something truly special about lying in bed and reading the words as they were originally authored, dog-earing your favorites, and revisiting them time and again. The stories remind us as mothers, as humans, that we share so much more than separates us. The stories remind us how resilient we are, and that we are not alone in this world.
From Amazon: Listen to Your Mother is a fantastic awakening of why our mothers are important, taking readers on a journey through motherhood in all of its complexity, diversity, and humor. Based on the sensational national performance movement, Listen to Your Mothershowcases the experiences of ordinary people of all racial, gender, and age backgrounds, from every corner of the country. This collection of essays celebrates and validates what it means to be a mother today, with honesty and candor that is arrestingly stimulating and refreshing.
If you're in or near St. Joseph, Michigan on Saturday, May 9th, our adorable little indie book store, Forever Books, will be on hand selling these at our inaugural Listen to Your Mother: Southwest Michigan show.
Okay, technically? I've already read this one. But Patty Chang Anker is one of the storytellers represented in the Listen to Your Mother Book. She is a warm, witty, and delightful author I've had the pleasure of meeting, twice! Her book, "Some Nerve: Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave," is now available in paperback, and sports a beautiful new aqua blue spine. And it's clearly (see second paragraph, above) one I could stand to revisit. I had the honor and pleasure of introducing Patty when she visited Forever Books last summer. And then I met her again in New York when I drove there for #BinderCon just three days after moving last fall! Crazy, I know! But I had a free conference pass I'd won, the promise of meeting several online friends IRL, and a welcoming friend with a comfy sofa whom I'd met at a prior conference. So nothing was stopping me! The opportunity to see Patty again was just too irresistible. Her book and her experience with Listen to Your Mother had so much to do with me auditioning and garnering a spot in the Northwest Indiana show in 2014. And it certainly helped me find my brave and pitch my community as a new city in 2015.
From Amazon: "A compelling story of everyday courage" (Elizabeth Gilbert).
Inspired and inspiring, this book draws on Anker's interviews with teachers, therapists, coaches, and clergy to convey both practical advice and profound wisdom. Through her own journey and the stories of others, she conveys with grace and infectious exhilaration the most vital lesson of all: Fear isn't the end point to life, but the point of entry.
You have to read it for Chapter 7 alone, in which Patty describes her adventure of surfing for the first time on Lake Michigan, off the soft white sandy shores of Silver Beach in my hometown. In the middle of WINTER!!! While I don't feel the need to try surfing in winter myself, there's abundant wisdom worthy of revisiting here.
As tender, green, delectable shoots emerge from the earth, "Eating Wildly: Foraging for Life, Love and the Perfect Meal," is a perfect spring read by another lovely and vastly talented author I met at #BinderCon in New York. Ava Chin and I shared deviled eggs and conversation as we sipped Chardonnay and chatted with other authors at a bar in Manhattan. (An event that prompted me to ask whether this was my life!) Her beautiful book has been on my to-read list for far too long, and now is the perfect time to move it to the company of my currently reading list! Without a kitchen since moving into our house in October, I must confess that the idea of reading about food as the world around me was going to sleep felt rather torturous. But I've decided to think of it as inspiration to recommit to cleaner eating, and to get my GANE Possible kitchen moving in the right direction. And I'm hoping to convince Ava to visit southwest Michigan for a foraging tour and book signing this summer. Be sure to Subscribe--->so you'll know when & if it happens!
From Amazon: In this touching and informative memoir about foraging for food in New York City, Ava Chin finds sustenance...and so much more.
Urban foraging is the new frontier of foraging for foods, and it's all about eating better, healthier, and more sustainably, no matter where you live. Time named foraging the "latest obsession of haute cuisine," but the quest to connect with food and nature is timeless and universal.
Ava Chin, aka the "Urban Forager," is an experienced master of the quest. Raised in Queens, New York, by a single mother and loving Chinese grandparents, Chin takes off on an emotional journey to make sense of her family ties and romantic failures when her beloved grandmother becomes seriously ill. She retreats into the urban wilds, where parks and backyards provide not only rare and delicious edible plants, but a wellspring of wisdom.
I can't mention authors I've met without reminding you of my time in spectacular Whitefish, Montana, with Laura Munson, author of "This is Not the Story You Think it Is...: A Season of Unlikely Happiness," and Haven writing retreat host. I mentioned how happy I am lately to see my husband's dimples again, but back when I read Laura's book, those dimples were a far off memory. Laura's book spoke to the pieces of my heart that felt desolate and alone in the aftermath of my husband losing his job, leaving California, and returning to Michigan with no prospects. I truly believe it not only had a significant part in my marriage surviving its darkest moments, but the book, Haven, time spent in Laura's company and in the company of other women writers inspired my participation in Listen to Your Mother, as well. Laura's book and Haven helped me to focus on the future I wanted to create, and it helped me to live as an example for my husband. Even though he never read a word of Laura's book, I honestly believe that without it he wouldn't have the opportunity to heal the loss of our restaurant by living his dream of opening Baja Gringo Tacos. Life is feeling pretty complete for us these days. And I owe a big piece of that to Laura and to Haven. My project has changed a great deal since Haven, but it's growing and it's becoming closer to the book I dreamed of writing when our daughters were young.
From Amazon: By the time Laura Munson had turned 40, her life was not how she thought it would turn out. Career success had eluded her; her beloved father was no longer around to be her biggest cheerleader; and her husband wanted out of their marriage.
Poignant, wise, and often exceedingly funny, this is the moment-by- moment memoir of a woman who decided to let go-in the midst of the emotional equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It recounts what happened as Munson set out on her spiritual journey-and provides raw, powerful inspiration to anyone searching for peace in an utterly unpredictable world.
Before finding a publisher for This is Not the Story You Think It Is, Laura had written fourteen novels. Her's is the story of persistence and resilience.
This has turned into a post about being brave, which really wasn't my intention. But I suppose a short month away from showtime, it's what I needed to remember at the moment. There is little braver than reexamining and correcting a lie as an adult that began in childhood. In "Cinderland," Amy Jo Burns has done so in smooth, warm, amber words and turns of phrase, recalling small town America in eloquent, and in turn beautiful and ugly ways to which many of us can relate. In her gripping memoir, she holds herself and others accountable, while exploring the impact secrecy and speculation had on her life, and the lives of others who told, ignored, assumed, and judged the truth. In Burns' book not a single word is out of place or wasted, each one carrying the weight of their topic impeccably. And I think it sports one of the most beautiful covers ever. I've gotten to know Amy a bit online, and hope for an opportunity to meet her and hear her read in the future.
From Amazon: A riveting literary debut about the cost of keeping quiet
Amy Jo Burns grew up in Mercury, Pennsylvania, an industrial town humbled by the steel collapse of the 1980s. Instead of the construction booms and twelve-hour shifts her parents' generation had known, the Mercury Amy Jo knew was marred by empty houses, old strip mines, and vacant lots. It wasn't quite a ghost town—only because many people had no choice but to stay.
The year Burns turned ten, this sleepy town suddenly woke up. Howard Lotte, its beloved piano teacher, was accused of sexually assaulting his female students. Among the countless girls questioned, only seven came forward. For telling the truth, the town ostracized these girls and accused them of trying to smear a good man's reputation. As for the remaining girls—well, they were smarter. They lied. Burns was one of them.
And finally, for the Giveaway!
I can't thank Ruth Curran enough for sending me a copy of her important book to giveaway this spring. I'm currently reading my own copy of, "Being Brain Healthy: What my recovery from brain injury taught me...," and I'm finding it wise, well written, and hopeful. Together with the brain training games she's developed and offers on her website, Cranium Crunches, Ruth's mission is to help everyone understand, no matter their stage in life, "harness and use neuroplasticity to live a richer, deeper, more fully engaged life." Ruth's empowering message of self care and self responsibility is one, A) I needed to hear, and B) we share. Though I'm reminded that I want very much to be able to walk and function later in life, which means I want to conquer that exercise portion of wellness she writes about. I'm going to need all the stamina I can build, and spring is the perfect season to do it!
During the time I've gotten to know Ruth online, and having been interviewed by her recently for a podcast, I never guessed she suffered a brain injury until I became aware of the topic of her book. I'd have to endorse what she teaches as impactful for those with brain injury, and for those who want to optimize their own neuroplasticity. One of the most important things I've found to help lessen my self-diagnosed ADD is writing, which Ruth talks about in her book. I'll keep doing it. And I'll add more purposeful exercise to my list of empowered wellness activities.
From Amazon: The journey to wellness when coming back from a brain injury can be a long one. It is one that author Ruth Curran knows well. Faced with a myriad of challenges after her own brain injury, she decided to turn up the volume on the things that she loved and found ways to work through the discomfort and discouragement that can plague so many who are faced with this devastating diagnosis. Her own path – one that took 18 months – is one that she shares with readers in Being Brain Healthy. Being Brain Healthy is a book of hope. Curran shares insights on healing with readers and has the unique ability to explain complex neuroscience in a way that makes sense to even those who are just taking their first steps on the road to recovery. Convinced that everyone can work their way out of what Curran refers to as "the fog" and can build better thinking skills, the author shares how she turned her entire life into a better experience.
At the end of the month (April 2015), I will randomly select one winner from among the comments I receive on this post to receive Ruth's book! So tell me about a memoir, novel, or work of nonfiction I should put on my to-read list this summer!

Equal Spirits is a collaborative project founded by Raph Clarkson, and aims to celebrate the historic partnership between South African and UK musicians, with a focus on free improvisers (see the collaborations between Keith Tippett and musicians like Mongesi Feza and Louis Maholo) as well as the musical connections between the English hymnal and chorale tradition and the joyful melodies and gospel infused harmonies of South African township jazz.
The project currently comprises a set of original music specifically written for the band by Raph, as well as creative contributions and arrangements from the other stellar musicians that make up the band, all of whom Raph met and collaborated with as part of the first Equal Spirits performances in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban in 2018 (a period of activity generously supported by Help Musicians U.K.).
The band recently recorded for three days in Johannesburg at Peter Auret's Sumo Sound Studio (February 2020), and this will form the basis of a debut album (to be released in 2021) featuring further contributions from South African and U.K./European improvisers, all overseen by Grammy-nominated producer Sonny Johns who has worked on recordings featuring Tony Allen, Hugh Masakela, Ali Fakar Toure and Fatoumata Diawara.
Listen to some of the music played with a fabulous London version of the band back in 2018:

SUNRISE host Samantha Armytage has labelled 2GB's Alan Jones "a troublemaker" following his revelations of her own intake during a boozy lunch they shared, after Armytage questioned Queen Elizabeth's alcohol consumption during the Channel 7 show's hot topics segment.
"Quickly, we want to talk to you about the Queen's drinking - this is not my concern," Armytage said as she began the discussion.
"Each day Her Majesty enjoys a gin and tonic before lunch, there's wine with lunch, a dry martini and a glass of champagne at night. Now that equals six serves of alcohol, which under British government health guidelines makes her apparently a binge drinker ... Alan," Armytage said, throwing to the 76-year-old shock jock for a comment.
2GB's Alan Jones then threw it back at Armytage, alluding that the Sunrise host drinks more than that.
How to drink like the Queen:
"Sam, that's light-on compared to the last time you and I had dinner," he responded.
"Honestly, Sam, you started with the gin - and it was very straight with not much tonic water at all - you had the white and the red and you topped it up with some champagne. Come on."
Armytage seemed taken aback at the time but later made light of the conversation.
"That Alan Jones, he's a troublemaker," she joked.
"I won't lie, I don't mind the odd G'n'T or two after a long day. Who doesn't?"
Exactly when and where the pair dined together was not canvassed, presumably not too far away from the comforts of the eastern suburbs, and it is understood that it is not a regular occurrence.
However it is known that Armytage and Jones have had a jovial relationship for many years, with one source revealing that Jones takes great delight in stirring up the TV presenter.
"Alan is always trying to get a rise out of Sam," the insider said.
"It is a bit of a game for him."
Armytage returned to air this week following a fortnight's break during which she attended a friend's wedding in Greece and has been co-hosting alongside Matt Doran, while regular presenter David Koch is on leave.
Later this month the popular Armytage will be celebrating her fourth anniversary on Channel 7's flagship show.
Meanwhile, Sunrise simply powers on, possibly just weeks away from claiming victory in this year's ratings battle against Channel 9's Today show.
