Why The U.S. Needs a Coal Fleet
China Will Gain Billions from U.S. Solar Tax Credits
By America's Power
President Biden wants to decarbonize the electric power sector by 2035, with an interim goal of 80 percent carbon-free electricity by 2030. Meanwhile, the U.S. electricity supply will be 50 percent carbon free by 2030 without any new and expensive policy mandates.[i] Achieving the President's goals would require adding massive amounts of new wind and solar power to the nation's electricity grid at a cost of more than $1 trillion.[ii] In addition, there are questions whether the electricity grid can be as reliable as it needs to be because wind and solar cannot always supply electricity when needed.
The House passed its version of the Build Back Better Act that would extend tax credits for wind and solar projects for another 10 years. These tax credits provide a financial incentive to build and operate wind and solar installations. This would be the 25th time these credits have been extended despite the fact that they are costly to taxpayers (at least $100 billion for the proposed tax breaks) and are no longer necessary to expand wind and solar power.
But there is another concern: China will be the biggest winner from the expansion of U.S. solar power resulting from these tax credits. This is because China controls the global production of solar photovoltaic (PV) components that are the backbone of solar power in the U.S., as well as in other countries.[iii]
U.S. Solar Power
PV cells are the predominant technology for converting solar energy into electricity. According to EIA, utility-scale solar PV generating capacity in the U.S. totaled 48,500 megawatts (MW) last year, or slightly less than 5 percent of total generating capacity. Solar PV is projected to grow steadily even without tax extensions. This year alone, new solar projects are expected to total 44,000 MW.[iv] By 2030, solar PV capacity is projected to total more than 175,000 MW, or 14 percent of U.S. electric generating capacity. To put this in perspective, the projected increase in solar generating capacity by the end of this decade—even without tax extensions—is roughly equivalent to the combined electric generating capacity of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.[v]
Preliminary analysis suggests that utility-scale solar PV could increase by an additional 397,000 MW by 2030 as a result of the proposed tax extensions.[vi] If correct, this would require a capital expenditure in the range of $397 billion for new utility-scale solar PV installations.[vii] Because of its dominance in the solar PV supply chain, China can be expected to reap major economic benefits from such a large expansion of solar power in the U.S.
China's Grip on Solar[viii]
China currently has 1,080,000 MW of coal-fired generating capacity—more than half the world's coal-fired capacity. In addition, China has 97,000 MW under construction and another 167,000 MW planned.[ix] By comparison, the U.S. coal fleet totals 220,000 MW, about one-fifth the size of China's coal fleet. China burned more than 3 billion tons of coal last year, roughly half of all global coal production, whereas the U.S. burned 477 million tons.
In addition, China has 180,000 MW of utility-scale solar PV, almost four times more than the U.S.[x] Most of this solar is manufactured in China, which is the world's leading producer. Last December, China announced a new goal to expand wind and solar capacity to more than 1,200,000 MW (compared with 535,000 MW last year).
The solar PV manufacturing chain involves five components that are produced in the following order: polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, and modules (or panels).[xi] Chinese companies dominate every segment of this manufacturing chain.[xii]
Polysilicon
China currently produces 80 percent of the world's polysilicon, which is the feedstock for manufacturing solar PV. However, China could be responsible for 90 percent of polysilicon output within the next few years.[xiii] Since 2017, more than 90 percent of new polysilicon processing capacity has been built in China. Seven of the world's top 10 polysilicon producers in 2020 were Chinese.[xiv] Low-cost electricity generated by China's enormous coal fleet is a competitive advantage because electricity accounts for slightly more than 40 percent of the cost of making polysilicon. Moreover, market consolidation is expected to favor Chinese companies even more.
Roughly half the world's supply of polysilicon comes from China's Xinjiang region (map below), where, according to humans rights groups, the U.S. and U.K., Uyghur Muslims have been subjected to forced labor, torture, other human rights abuses, and genocide.[xv]
Ingots, Wafers, and Cells
China produces 98 percent of the wafers and ingots used in solar panels.[xvi] China has 227,000 MW of wafer manufacturing capacity; the rest of the world has 18,000 MW. According to Bloomberg, "[China] having control over wafer manufacturing has been critical on its path to global dominance of the PV supply chain." Nine of the top 10 wafer manufacturers are based in China. Costs and other hurdles make it difficult to build new wafer factories outside of China.
More than 80 percent of new cell manufacturing capacity is being built in China. The U.S. has added no new cell capacity since 2009. China-based companies were responsible for 78 percent of global cell manufacturing in 2019.
Modules / Panels
Chinese firms supply three-fourths of the world's solar panels, whereas the U.S. produces 1 percent.[xvii] Chinese panel manufacturing capacity for 2021 is projected to be almost 299,000 MW, some 70 times greater than the U.S. capacity of 4,200 MW.[xviii] China has 261 manufacturing facilities, whereas the U.S. has 16.[xix] Most U.S. solar installations use modules manufactured at plants in Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand that are owned by Chinese firms. (The terms modules and panels are used interchangeably in the solar industry.)
This paper has lots of numbers, but we thought they were necessary to convey the grip that China has on the solar PV market. The table below sums up China's dominance at each step of the manufacturing chain:
The U.S. is a relatively minor player in solar PV manufacturing, which is why China stands to reap huge economic benefits from the solar PV capacity resulting from extension of the tax credits for solar. As BloombergNEF put it earlier this year, "For another country to keep up with Chinese PV output, a network of industries would need to be significantly expanded or built from scratch. Even still, it is unclear whether these new factories could be cost-competitive against China."
[i] AEO 2021 reference case for 2030. Renewables and nuclear are projected to supply 50.7 percent of U.S. electricity in 2030.
[ii] A number of independent studies (Princeton, EPRI, Energy Innovation, S&P Capital, etc.) have estimated that decarbonizing the U.S. electricity supply would cost $1 trillion or more. One study estimated a cost of $4.5 trillion. All of these studies project the addition of very large amounts of carbon-free resources, mostly wind and solar. Collectively, the projections indicate the need for roughly 1 million MW of new wind and solar capacity.

[vi] Energy Ventures Analysis estimates an additional 397,000 MW of solar PV will be added by 2030 if the tax credits for solar are extended another 10 years.
[vii] Lazard 14.0 (2020) gives a range of $825-975/kW for utility-scale solar PV. AEO 2021 gives an estimate of $1,248/kW. For simplification, we assume a cost of $1,000/kW.

Todd Carney Sacked As Another One Bites The Dust!
Aug 08, 2008 League Freak Canberra Raiders 0
The Canberra Raiders have sacked Todd Carney for being a serial dickhead and the NRL has said he will not be able to play for any other NRL team until the 2010 season.
Thank god, its about bloody time!
It seems as though the game has been on a bit of a cleansing recently, getting rid of the weak, the fragile and the stupid, and Carney is the latest to go.
I've said for a while now that the Raiders should get rid of him and pointed to Craig Gower and his career of off field stupidity as something the Raiders didn't need to emulate with Carney.
Make no mistake though, this is a gutsy move by the Raiders and one they wouldn't have taken lightly.
Of all the players that have left the NRL or been sacked in recent times, Carney is by far and away the best of the bunch. He is a very good halfback, plays week in week out and has the ability to control a game.
The Raiders gave Carney an ultimatum after his latest incident and I'm sure Carney and his management decided to call the Raiders bluff. It didn't work….and now he is just an unemployed fool with a drinking problem.
The thought is he will now look to play in England or that toilet bowl on a union competition in France.
What ever the case, its refreshing to see the game getting rid of lots of bullshit in 2008.
Sonny Bill Williams, Mark Gasnier, Jason Ryles, Todd Carney….the constant drama this lot creates will not be missed.
The best part is that the Raiders haven't missed a beat without him in the side. Terry Campese is playing the great football I always knew he had in him and the club had unearthed a decent young halfback thats standing up to the pressures of first grade really well.
At the end of the day it all comes back to the question: If you had a $400,000 contract to play footy for your local club, and the only thing you had to try had to do was not act like a complete moron during that time, do you think you could do it?
I have to say for $400,000 I'd give up drinking, Maccas….hell I'd even let Steve Folkes bad mouth my family and friends and I wouldn't bat an eyelid!

A tax on videogames would combat knife crime in UK, claims a government advisor who lost his own son to inner city youth crime. According to the rather outrageous suggestion, videogames are "too cheap" and this makes it easy for children to buy them, which in turn causes them to become violent psychopaths. Typical logic from a man thinking with his heart and not his brain.
"I have young people who I mentor and I see them go up and buy the games and it saddens me that they are being able to have such a negative impact," claims Richard Taylor, who personally advices Gordon Brown on knife crime issues. He also criticized rap music, claiming that music, "especially from America," is far too negative.
First of all, I'd like to just say that I work, earn a good amount of money, and I find videogames too expensive. In the UK, the latest Xbox 360 or PS3 game can already sell for £50. Proposing an even greater tax, on top of the value-added-tax that is already factored into a videogame price, is incredibly unfair and punishes everybody for the sake of a few criminals.
That doesn't even factor into the completely illogical idea that videogames cause knife crime. In a recent Destructoid feature, we researched murders that had been tenuously linked to videogames and discovered that only twenty-five deaths had involved games, and most of that involvement was circumstantial at best. Twenty-five deaths in all of human history compared to the thousands of deaths that happen in the UK every year is a pathetic number, and trying to claim that games cause knife crime is even more so.
Go ahead, make it so children can't affort videogames. You know what'll happen? Knife crime rates will stay the same, and I can guarantee you that cases of theft and mugging will go up. Idiots.

Shwebo (, ) est une ville de Birmanie située dans la Région de Sagaing, à 113 km au nord-ouest de Mandalay, entre la Mu et l'Irrawaddy. Elle est desservie par la ligne de chemin de fer Mandalay-Myitkyina et plusieurs lignes d'autobus. Les routes vers Mandalay et Monywa sont en bon état.

Histoire
Shwebo devint la capitale de la Birmanie en 1752 sous le roi Alaungpaya, qui y était né. Il utilisa la ville comme base pour mener une révolte contre les Môns de Pégou et conquit Ava et le sud de la Birmanie, établissant ainsi la dynastie Konbaung et le Troisième Empire birman.

La ville porta cinq noms :
 Yadana-theinhka
 Konbaung
 Moksobo, son nom original
 Yangyi-aung,
 Shwebo, son nom moderne.

Le fils aîné et successeur d'Alaungpaya, le roi Naungdawgyi (1760-1764), fut couronné à Sagaing, et son second fils, le roi Hsinbyushin (1764-1776), ramena la capitale à Ava quand il lui succéda. Les habitants de Shwebo sont fiers de leur tradition au service de la dynastie et c'est là que se réfugièrent successivement Tharrawaddy Min, en 1837, et Mindon Min, en 1853, pour se révolter contre leurs prédécesseurs (les deux rébellions furent couronnées de succès).

Près de Shwebo se trouve le site de l'ancienne cité Pyu de Hanlin.

Économie & tourisme
Comme Monywa, la ville est un centre d'échange pour les produits agricoles, particulièrement les haricots, le riz et le sésame des plaines voisines, entre la Mu et l'Irrawaddy.

Encore entourée de ses douves, la ville a pour principal intérêt touristique les ruines du palais d'Alaungpaya et de nombreux temples bouddhiques, comme la pagode de Shwe-taza et le stupa de Myodaunk. Durant les mois d'été les plus chauds, les habitants promènent la statue du Bouddha de Shwe-taza pour faire tomber la pluie.

Q: Use mean value theorem to find $f(\xi)+f''(\xi)=0$ Question: $f\in C^2(-\infty,+\infty)$, $|f(x)|\leq 1$, $[f(0)]^2+[f'(0)]^2=4$. Prove that there exists $\xi$ s.t.
$$
f(\xi)+f''(\xi)=0.
$$
I find this question in the chapter about mean value theorem, and I set up function $G=f^2+f'^2$ as usual. WLOG set $f(0)\geq 0$ and $f'(0)\geq 0$. Use Taylor mean value theorem I get
$$
f(1)=f(0)+ f'(0)+\frac{1}{2}f''(\eta).
$$
Set $x=f(0)\geq 0$ I get
$$
f''(\eta)\leq 1-x-\sqrt{4-x^2}\leq -1.
$$
So I get
$$
f(\eta)+f''(\eta)\leq 0
$$
I want to prove by contradition, then I assume  $\forall x\in(-\infty,+\infty)$, $f(x)+f''(x)<0$. Then I have no idea.
My question is: Is this idea correct? How to use the function $f^2+f'^2$(I haven't use it yet)?

A: Let $G=f^2+f'^2\in C^1(-\infty,+\infty)$. If $f'(x)\geq 1$ for all $x\geq 0$ then $$f(x)=f(0)+\int_0^x f'(t) dt\geq f(0)+x\to +\infty$$
which contradicts the fact that $|f(x)|\leq 1$. Similarly, it can not be that $f'(x)\leq -1$ for all $x\geq 0$.
Hence there exists $x_1>0$ such that $|f'(x_1)|\leq 1$, which implies that
$G(x_1)\leq 1+1=2$. In the same way, we prove that there is $x_2<0$ such that
$|f'(x_2)|\leq 1$ and $G(x_2)\leq 2$. Since $G(0)=4$, by continuity, there exist $a,b\in \mathbb{R}$ such that
$$a:=\max \{x<0: G(x)=2\}\quad,\quad b:=\min \{x>0: G(x)=2\}.$$
Note that $a<0<b$, $G(a)=G(b)=2$ and $G(x)>2$ for $x\in (a,b)$.
By the MVT, there is $c\in (a,b)$
such that $$G'(c)=2f'(c)(f(c)+f''(c))=0.$$
If $f'(c)=0$ then $G(c)\leq 1$ which implies that there is $d\in (a,b)$ such that $G(d)=2$ which is impossible. Hence $f(c)+f''(c)=0$.

Sant'Elisabetta dei Fornari, även benämnd Sant'Elisabetta dei Fornari Tedeschi, var en kyrkobyggnad i Rom, helgad åt den heliga Elisabet av Ungern. Kyrkan var belägen vid Sant'Andrea della Valle i Rione Parione.

Kyrkans historia
Den ursprungliga kyrkan på denna plats uppfördes i början av 1500-talet av en sammanslutning av tyska bagare, fornari, bosatta i Rom. Dessa tillhörde den tyska kommuniteten i Rom och inrättade även ett härbärge för sina landsmän. I mitten av 1600-talet byggdes kyrkan om och gavs en barockdräkt efter ritningar av Girolamo Rainaldi. Den ellipsformade interiören hyste en freskcykel utförd av Alessandro Salucci.

Kyrkan Sant'Elisabetta dei Fornari revs år 1886 i samband med dragningen av Corso Vittorio Emanuele II och anläggandet av Largo dei Chiavari.

Inskriptionen ovanför kyrkans ingångsportal löd: SODALITAS PISTORVM NATIONIS GERMANICAE AEDEM VISITATIONIS B. M. V. COLLABENTEM DIRVIT NOVAM DENVO A FVNDAMENTIS EXTRVXIT A. D. MDCXLV.

Mailbag: How Will Matthew Baldwin's Transfer Affect Justin Fields' Running?
In this week's Mailbag, we tackle the questions that are on everyone's minds.
No, not Game of Thrones stuff. If you want that, fast-forward to the last 20 minutes or so of this week's Buckeye Weekly podcast.
The quarterbacks are once again a topic this week following the departure of Matthew Baldwin.
The Ohio State defense is also discussed, as it will likely be every week until they are on the field actually answering these questions.
Then there are also some questions about the NFL Draft, backups who may be good enough to start, who will get redshirted this year, and team chemistry.
If you have anything you want addressed in next week's Mailbag, leave it in the comments, post it on the message boards, email me, or hit me up on Twitter.
Do you think Marcus Williamson and Amir Riep are talented enough to start here?? — @DrewOSU42
Amir Riep was fantastic in the spring game, and you can say what you want about the spring game, but he showed me something. He's done that throughout the spring as well. I do believe Riep can start at Ohio State. Unfortunately for him, he is playing the same position right now as Shaun Wade. And Jordan Fuller may be there as well this fall. Regarding Marcus Williamson, I know Kerry Coombs and Taver Johnson were very high on him as a possible nickel solution, but he's been injured throughout his career, so I can't answer this question.
Do you agree with Larry Johnson attending the draft? — @SlippyField
Of course. I know there is a small segment of Buckeye fans who can't forgive Nick Bosa for leaving the team, but if his coaches and his teammates had no problem with it, why should anybody else hold him to a higher standard when they've never even met the guy? His teammates were thrilled to see him back at the Rose Bowl, which should tell you all you need to know. Plus, any time a school's coach is seen during the NFL Draft, it helps recruiting.
Which frosh will burn their redshirt this season? — HINYG8
With the rules now allowing players to see four games of action without burning their redshirt, it makes this question a bit more difficult. For instance, Nicholas Petit-Frere was the backup at right tackle last season, but only played in two or three games, so he ended up redshirting. Somebody like 5-star offensive lineman Harry Miller could be in the two-deep at guard and redshirt as well. In looking at the freshman class, only Garrett Wilson jumps out at me as somebody who will definitely play more than four games this year. I assume Zach Harrison will, and I assume Cade Stover will see some time on special teams. Does Ronnie Hickman get time there as well? There should be more than this who will play, but these are the four likeliest, and Hickman may be a stretch.
We know Fields would be more mobile than Haskins (as would this ottoman my feet are on)…but without a decent backup, does that change the usage philosophy for Day? — @zidaya
I know the common wisdom here is that Ryan Day will limit Justin Fields' running now that they are down to just two scholarship quarterbacks. (That number will soon be three again, by the way.) But it's not like they're going to ask him to run the ball 12 or 15 times a game. And asking him not to run would be limiting his full potential. They will need to show read option with Fields keeping the ball or else defenses won't slow down when crashing on the running back. The Buckeyes won't need to show it a lot, just enough to keep a defense honest… and paranoid.
They probably can't call 20 read-option plays and then blame the opposing defense for making Fields keep it 18 times. In the past, Urban Meyer and offensive coordinators would almost claim that their hands were tied on the large number of QB runs because the defense kept making the QB keep it. If you don't want the quarterback running the ball, the offense always controls that ability. I think Fields will still run the ball, but they'll probably limit the number of spots where that can happen by a third or so.
Is our team chemistry impacted by the portal? Is Garrett Wilson feeling bad to see his friend leave? — LUVDABUCKS
I'm sure it sucks for some players to see friends and teammates transfer out, but I don't think it has any impact on team chemistry. The team last year LOVED Joe Burrow — and still do — but I don't think anybody would say that chemistry was a problem last season. Generally, positions are so compartmentalized, that when somebody transfers, the path to playing time just opened for more players, which makes them happy.
And while somebody like Garrett Wilson may be sad to see his buddy Matthew Baldwin leave, Wilson has his own status to worry about. Players are kept busy and they have to work hard to keep from being passed by somebody else. Teammates have also seemed to take to Justin Fields. Those relationships are forged during the offseason, and he'll be here for every bit of it. Heck, the transfer portal may actually be keeping chemistry from getting bad at some places. Who knows what the chemistry would have been like last year if Burrow had stayed and Dwayne Haskins had struggled. Once guys are gone, it becomes out of sight, out of mind because players are more worried about the task at hand.
There are many upper-class vets on the defense. Aside from Fuller, which guys are stepping up as leaders? I see a couple that could be candidates, but not sure. — Smartwater
A small, yet vocal segment of the population of Buckeye fans won't like it, but any time leadership is mentioned or asked about on defense, coaches and teammates talk about Tuf Borland. Borland was a captain last year as a redshirt sophomore and his teammates look to him for leadership. Chase Young has done a nice job of helping lead the defensive ends, as has Jonathon Cooper. Robert Landers and Davon Hamilton do what you need your fifth-year seniors to do. Brendon White may be a bit quieter, but he is leading by example in that he does whatever is asked, and makes himself valuable through his versatility. If I was to pick the three likeliest captains from the Ohio State defense, I'd go with Jordan Fuller, Tuf Borland, and Jonathon Cooper.

"They probably can't call 20 read-option plays and then blame the opposing defense for making Fields keep it 18 times….." JT rushed for 800 yards a season and more than 10 carries a game in his career. Justin is definitely gonna run for more than Dwayne's total of 108 yards last year (he could get that just in that Florida Atlantic game if we wanted to), so maybe 5 attempts a game for around 500 yards for the season? Seems reasonable for a young athletic QB while he keeps learning the passing game.

Scientists Find First Evidence a 'Rogue Protein' Drives MS
Written by Jeri Burtchell on December 18, 2014
MS has more in common with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and ALS than researchers previously thought. A new discovery shows the disease process may be driven by a misfolded protein.
Scientists know that certain misfolded or "rogue" proteins cause damage in many neurological disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In a new study, published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology, researchers found a similar rogue protein is present in multiple sclerosis (MS), shedding new light on the course of the disease.
Investigators from the University of Surrey developed unique antibodies designed to target rogue proteins in a disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a degenerative illness that causes dementia.
The surprise came when the researchers discovered these same antibodies could detect rogue proteins in other diseases.
Read More About Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease »
What Are Rogue Proteins?
"Proteins are molecules produced by the cell in order to fulfill vital functions," explained lead investigator Dr. Mourad Tayebi in an interview with Healthline. "For reasons that remain elusive, some of these proteins adopt a permanent abnormal state or shape; hence the [title] rogue proteins."
"Some of these rogue proteins are associated with devastating brain and other disorders, such as Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes," said Tayebi. "Scientists believe they are the major culprits behind cell death and associated symptoms recognized in these diseases."
The team was initially working to develop a diagnostic test that would reveal Alzheimer's disease before a person experienced obvious symptoms. They developed antibodies that bind to the rogue proteins that are hallmarks of that disease.
"What is important to note," said Tayebi, "is that our antibodies possess a unique capability of binding to a number of biologically different rogue proteins found in different diseases."
That meant the researchers could use the antibodies designed to find Creutzfeldt-Jakob and Alzheimer's diseases to explore a wider range of conditions.
Because MS is also characterized by damage to the brain, Tayebi's team wondered if rogue proteins might be involved in the disease. Using the antibodies they had developed in experiments on donated tissue and fluid samples, they proved that "rogue proteins are indeed found in the brains and cerebrospinal fluids of MS patients."
The takeaway is that MS may be more closely related to diseases like Parkinson's or type 2 diabetes than previously suspected, according to Tayebi.
"Although the proteins found in [each of] these diseases are biologically different, their derived rogue state is recognized by the same antibodies," explained Tayebi. "This strongly suggests that a common disease mechanism underlies these disorders."

A New Path to a Cure?
The revelation that a rogue protein is at play in MS may redefine MS research. Not only does it provide another piece of the disease puzzle, but it may also open new avenues to treat the condition.
"Future work should concentrate on tackling MS in the way we approach Alzheimer's, for example," Tayebi said.
First, Tayebi's team wants to isolate the rogue proteins and then work out how they could be causing MS. To date, researchers have only been able to speculate on what triggers the disease.
But the long view is toward a cure.
"Our ultimate goal is to simply cure MS and other devastating neurological disorders to bring relief to the patients and their families," Tayebi said.

To walk inside is like walking into a living museum. Today, many have been converted into heritage hotels, though others remain publicly accessible in their original, often decaying, form.
Many are shrouded in legend, myth, and ghost stories, which makes a visit even more mystifying if you've read up on your history before you go.
Browse more to find the most popular historic forts in Rajasthan. If exploring independently, the following are palaces and forts you should make the effort to go.
The Amber fort in Jaipur is located on the base of the Aravalli range and overlooks the Maota Lake. It was built by Raja Man Singh in the 16th century, and is a magnificent fort with an extensive palace complex.
The fort is built from pale yellow and pink sandstone, and white marble, and divided into four main sections, each with its own courtyard. You can enjoy excellent views both inside and outside of the fort which is well known for its artistic craftsmanship.
With a four level layout, the Amber Fort is a fine example of marble and red stone architecture. Some of the highlights of the palace include Hall of Private Audience, Hall of Public Audience, Sukh Niwas, Sheela Mata Temple, and Sheesh Mahal.
You can visit the fort on elephant-back, but animal welfare groups have criticized the conditions in which the elephants are kept because of reports of abuse, and because carrying passengers can cause lasting injuries to the animals.
The Chittorgarh fort, or Chittor fort, is the largest fort in India, and was once the capital of the longest ruling dynasty in the world (the Kingdom of Mewar ruled for 800 years).
Truly massive, the fort is spread across a hill covering almost 700 acres, and has since been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for it's outstanding architectural and historic value.
Enclosed within the fort are many palaces (like the Rana Kumbha Palace, the Fateh Prakash Palace, the Tower of Victory and Rani Padmini's Palace), as well as temples that often predate the fortifications, urban centers, sacred buildings, and massive fortified stone gates.
Many of the structured enclosed by the fortifications have survived, and, being up 180 meters on a hill, you'll be greeted with spectacular views over the Gambhiri River.
You'll probably need all day to explore the massive grounds here. Chittorgarh is an easy day trip from Udaipur, and you can usually hire a local driver for $50 USD for the day.
A stay at this heritage hotel is the opportunity to live among real royalty.
Built by the Rathore dynasty in the 1920's, Umaid Bhawan is a relic of the past that still oozes inspiration and grandeur of the royals of Rajasthan, and, part of the palace is still occupied by the Maharaja of Jodhpur today.
Constructed in 1929 by Maharaja Umaid Singh, this was the last palace to be built before India gained independence from the British. It is one of the most significant private residences in the world, and currently occupied by Gaj Singh, who inherited the throne from his grandfather Umaid.
Built on the highest hill of the desert city, parts of palace have since been converted to a 5 star luxury hotel by the Taj group. The hotel's fine dining restaurant, Risala, is the place to be if you want to enjoy the dishes from the royal kitchen.
Hawa Mahal is Jaipur's most distinctive landmark; a stunning pink-painted honeycombed hive, constructed in 1799, that rises a dizzying five stories high.
This palace was essentially a high screen wall built so that the women of the royal family could observe street festivals while unseen from the outside. Located in the center of the bustling city, the Mahal is a reflection of the rich cultural and architectural heritage fusion of Rajasthan.
Visit the Mahal to learn about Islamic Mughal architecture. Also referred to as the Palace of Winds, you can gaze out at the city from within the thousand windows that decorate the intricate latticework.
Brij Raj Bhavan Palace in Kota is now a famous a heritage hotel, though guests considering a stay should know that it is haunted (or so they say!).
There is a mysterious legend related to the 180 year old property, that the ghost of Major Burton wanders through the halls. The British major had set up residence here, but was killed (at the palace) by Indian sepoys (soldiers) in an 1857 mutiny. The soldiers broke into the palace, and murdered the officer and his family.
The bodies were buried in the central hall of the palace, and soon after this, locals began seeing ghostly figures walking around. Nevertheless, don't be deterred by the ghost stories as visiting this beautiful old-world palace is a must.
It's definitely worth braving a few ghosts to experience this level of grandeur. Located on the banks of river Chambal, the palace has seen many distinguished guests that include Kings and Queens, Prime Ministers and Viceroys.
I think Amer is definitely unique. It prompted me to write a long detailed post as well on my blog – jaipurthrumylens!I do feel it is a must visit attraction.
These forts look mesmerizing Meg. I gained a new appreciation of forts during my recent 2 months in Oman. Fun times. Such creativity these folks displayed, thwarting invaders.
I would love to visit Oman Ryan, I bet there would be so many opportunities for off the beaten path travel, and exploring fortifications that haven't seen much tourism. Have to get there soon!

What to expect of the Albula valley
The Albula valley, in the middle of Graubünden, is covered with forests and surrounded by mountains over 3000 m high.
There's a 1000 m difference in height between Tiefencastel, where the valley starts, and Preda, where the Albula Pass begins. As a result, the railway and only road in the valley are remarkable in some places. Several spiral loops and tunnels have been built to allow the trains to gain height. Both the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express use this railway.

Montrose Berth 6 Renewal
The project involved the design and construction of a new quay structure at Berth 6, Montrose Port, to upgrade the berth already present.
The objective was to ensure the existing quay is fully operational during the course of the project. The works were designed to be carried out in two phases.
Services & Expertise:
A 180m long combi wall was constructed at the front face of the quay, utilising tubular and sheet piles. The tubular piles are a combination of 1.4m and 1.2m diameter, 29m long piles, with AZ18 sheet pile infills. This front wall connected to a sheet piled anchor wall, 180m long, using tie rods.
The quay deck structure covers an area of 4800m2 and will be 600mm thick. This slab structure is supported on precast piles and will incorporate 2No heavy lift areas. A new drainage system was installed on the quay, including a drainage channel, manholes and outfalls for surface water drainage.
In order to facilitate the service requirements for the new quay structure a service trench, with special access covers and ducting, was provided. The contract also included installation of new quay furniture including ladders, fenders, bollards etc.
In addition to these works, 8000m3 of material was dredged from the channel and in front of the quay to deepen the berthing pocket.
Given that there is no pedestrian access to the works site, transportation has had to be provided for operatives and staff between the site office compound and the working area, ensuring their safety.

Americana rock trio (Mike McFadden, Anthony Saladino and Anthony Spinnato) unveil a new video for their song "Friends" exclusively on Billboard today (Dec. 6), featuring a group of young friends who dance through life (well, at least the woods) together.
The video begins with a young woman lowering herself from a tree house marked "Friends Only" — alone in the woods, looking around her and up at the vast blue sky as McFadden's voice sings, "I was on my own / So far from home / And there were days when I felt like I could not win / When I lost it all, and I needed a friend."
Seemingly content with being on her own, the girl dances her way to a tree trunk until another girl greets her, and another. Now, what was curious choreography with one girl is poignant with three — and more as kids keep joining in throughout the video. Now, instead of wishing that one lonely girl could hear a friendly voice, you're wishing you could join her and her friends playing in the woods.
Strap in for Australian Duo The Presets' Manic Video For 'Do What You Want': Premiere
Of the video, the Brooklyn-by-way-of Baltimore group tells Billboard: "This video is incredibly dear to us. It was written and directed by our bass player, Anthony Saladino, and we shot it on his family friends' property upstate where he spent a lot of time as a child, which made the video that much more personal. Taking the kids and the crew up there where we all slept in one massive old cabin with no Internet, eating family-style dinners around the same table, staying up late laughing and playing board games, sleeping on air mattresses on the floor in the living room — it all made for a surreal and intensely special experience. And those five kids carried the weekend in every way."
The song features punctuating drums underneath McFadden's gravelly vocals. These sounds mixed together creates a warm pallet that could easily be compared to the art supplies of folk-rock popular kids like The Lumineers.
Animal Years calls "Friends" the most personal song to them collectively "considering this whole thing begins and ends with our friends." Adding, "We love 'em, we sometimes hate 'em, but they've been with us every step of the way so this song and this video are quite obviously for them (but if you tell any of them we said that, we'll deny it till we die)."

MJ Munchies Entering THC and CBD Beverage Space with Half-Baked Shots and Drinks
Tarrytown, NY, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- MJ Munchies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), has announced entry into the THC and CBD beverage space with its Half-Baked brand.
The Company has signed commitments to move forward with the introduction of Half-Baked branded edibles in California in January. In addition, Management intends to leverage the Half-Baked name across a line of beverages, also to be introduced in 2019 Q1. Discussions are underway with potential manufacturing and distribution partners.
Statistics show that new and recreational marijuana users prefer consumption options other than smoking. MJ Munchies intends to capitalize on the trend towards edibles and beverages with innovative products in both categories.
Management has previously stated that it plans to launch uniquely differentiated edibles products with proprietary and patent protected ingredients. The Company believes that doing so will enable it to deliver unique benefits to consumers of Half-Baked products, therefore establishing a more powerful and more valuable brand.
"There are many companies out there scrambling to get to market with 'me-too' products," explained CEO Sean Folkson. "When we reveal our patent application and the uniqueness of what we've developed, people will understand why it would take a few months longer. I believe they will also see a clear, differentiated, and sustainable competitive advantage for the Half-Baked brand in the edibles space. As the nation continues to trudge towards national legalization and legal interstate commerce, we will be both busy and strong when it matters most."
With a fully granted trademark of the Half-Baked brand, and federal trademark applications in process for the Half-Baked name in baked goods, cookies, chocolates, gummies, and now beverages, development has also begun on the HalfBaked.com website. The Company is expected to provide an update on branding and packaging design in the coming weeks.
Recent industry activity has seen Constellation Brands investing $4B in Canopy Growth Corporation and Coke has publicly expressed interest in the space as well. It's reasonable to believe additional snack and beverage brands will seek out opportunities to gain a competitive advantage when they decide the time is right to enter the market.
When evaluating the size of the Half-Baked brand opportunity, management points to the disproportionate growth of edibles in the nine states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use. RBC Capital Markets, in a letter to clients on August 22, projected $47 Billion in annual sales. RBC analyst Nik Modi, when discussing existing category growth pointed out that, "Driving the growth is recreational use of the product, particularly concentrates and edibles."

The Company intends to market some of these new products under the brand name "Half-Baked". Munchies is currently preparing a patent application with the USPTO for a proprietary ingredient to be used in Half-Baked snacks that Management believes will give it a unique and defensible competitive advantage against other recreational edible brands.

For Years Fact Checkers Have Been Targeting Conservative Media – This Week We Learned the State Dept. Was Funding Them
By On Dec 11, 2022
This past week we found out that the State Department was, and probably still is, funding far-left activist fact-checkers to attack conservative media, politicians and personalities.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Daniel Kimmage Deposition By MO and LA AGs Reveals State Department Was Funding Online Fact-Checkers to Censor Speech
This reminded us of the below 100% Fed Up article by Patty McMurray in October of 2020. We have reprinted it below in its entirety.
==>
Facebook's Far-Left, Activist, "Fact-Checking" Group "Science Feedback" Should Scare The Hell Out Of Every Conservative
Why are leftist, third-party "fact-checkers" being allowed to control the news cycle and unfairly impugn conservative publishers on Facebook?
In 2016, only 9 days before the election, without warning, we received a notification from Facebook that our 100 Percent Fed Up Facebook page with almost 1 million followers (we currently have almost 1.7 million followers) was UNPUBLISHED and would not be republished.
After Breitbart News wrote about Facebook shutting down our page for no reason, Facebook reinstated it. Their only explanation was that "This was a mistake."
So far, Facebook has not shut down our popular page before the November election. Instead, like many conservative Facebook pages, we've been hit with multiple, untrue fact-check violations by leftist, third-party "fact-checkers." For the past 3 months, traffic on our Facebook page has been drastically reduced. Is it a coincidence that traffic on our pro-Trump, 100 Percent Fed Up Facebook page has been reduced by approximately 90% only months before a critical election?
"False news" or "misinformation" violations by third-party fact-checkers hired by Facebook, gives them the green-light to "demote," or hide posts on their platform, including valuable information that is of interest to Americans about the upcoming election. Much of the news we publish is news the Democrat Party's mainstream media refuses to publish or news the dishonest media intentionally distorts to paint a favorable picture of Democratic Party candidates.
On Oct. 11, 100 Percent Fed Up received two "false news" violations for the same article on Facebook.
The violations were from the far-left activist "fact-checking" group, Science Feedback, related to an article we wrote about a Chinese virologist who fled China out of fear for her safety after claiming that COVID-19 was manufactured in China's only biosafety level-4 super laboratory. The laboratory where she worked is only a few miles away from the Wuhan wet market, where Chinese officials claim the coronavirus emanated. Human infectious diseases are researched in the lab, including the novel coronavirus.
The second paragraph in our article states: "While there is not yet clear evidence that the coronavirus originated in the lab where it was being studied, it has not been ruled out as the origin of the global COVID-19 pandemic,"
Science Feedback responded to our article that shared the top Chinese virologist's claim: "The virus causing COVID-19 most likely evolved in natural wildlife populations before spreading to humans.
"Most likely?" When someone uses the term "most likely," it denotes that they are not in possession of factual evidence but instead, have a strong suspicion that what they are saying is true. From the Merriam Webster dictionary:
Definition of most likely: more likely than not: probably
It will most likely rain tomorrow.
False News and "Most likely" is not the same thing—and yet, when we appealed the violation with Science Feeback, the activist "fact-checker" hired by Facebook denied our appeal, telling us that they would not remove the violation from our page, knowing full well that their violation would keep the news we publish hidden from our 1.7 million followers until after the election.
Here's a screenshot of the "False information" violation we received on Facebook:
On their website, Science Feedback asks for donations to fuel their censorship machine.
A closer look at their top donors explains why we refer to them as a far-left activist group.
Science Feedback's top individual donor is Eric Michelman.
Eric Michelman, is a climate change activist, noted Democratic donor, and a left-of-center activist. Influence Watch identifies Michelman as a computer scientist and angel investor who is also a left-of-center activist. Michelman is the creator of the Climate Change Education Project and the More Than Scientists organization and project.
Michelman is also a noted Democratic donor, donating money to the Presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Michelman is also a climate change activist, founding a climate change advocacy organization and publicly supporting a carbon tax.
Another top individual donor to Science Feedback is the Reiss Foundation.
Here are just a few of the anti-Trump, pro-Obama, trans rights, defund the police, and anti-law enforcement topics that are pushed on the Reiss Foundation website:
AntiTrump trans:

End school policing – trans tweet:
Trans rights for kids:
https://twitter.com/JBAforYouth/status/1280967392495951872?s=20
Defund the police:
Support for Barack Obama:
Climate Feedback, a division of Science Feedback, regularly assesses violations to publishers who dare to claim that climate change is not man-made. Recently, Climate Change assessed a fact check violation against The Daily Caller for not naming climate change as the source of CA fires.
From Climate Feedback: Three scientists analyzed the article and estimated its overall scientific credibility to be 'low.'
A majority of reviewers tagged the article as Biased, Clickbait headline, Misleading.
Could their fact-check violation have anything to do with their top individual donor, Eric Michelman's views on fires started by climate change that he posted on Facebook three years ago?
In their fact check claim article, Climate Feedback calls The Daily Caller out for not including information related to man-man climate change:
In addition to forest management practices, human-caused climate change is a key driver of wildfire severity[2,5,6]. Specifically, climate change is causing warmer and drier conditions that increase the amount of dry vegetative fuel and total area burned during wildfires in the western US. As described in Abatzoglou and Williams (2016), "human-caused climate change caused over half of the documented increases in fuel aridity since the 1970s and doubled the cumulative forest fire area since 1984" (see figure below)[5].
In other words, agree with the science we push, or we'll defame your news organization and label your articles as "fake news."
Here's the best part—the Daily Caller is also a fact-checker hired by Facebook. It should be noted; the Daily Caller is the only fact-checking organization that is not left of center.
1.7 million Facebook users have "liked" our 100 Percent Fed Up Facebook page, indicating to Facebook that they would like to see our content in their newsfeed. Third-party "fact-checkers" hired by Facebook have been given the ability to decide whether or not Facebook users can see our content, and that should scare the hell out of every American that relies on Facebook for their news.

We found out this past week that the State Department is backing these far-left fact-checkers.
