Good news for wrestling fans who hope that the Undertaker remains in the industry in some sort of capacity after retirement. The legendary performer has agreed to work as an adviser for the WWE developmental program. He will make the occasional trip to the WWE Performance Center and provide evaluations and advice to the performers and the trainers.
October 24, 2014
After finishing off his commitments, Kevin Steen has now officially reported for duty with WWE. The former ROH champion posted on Twitter that it was his first day at the WWE Performance Center. While he is viewed as one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit, the belief is that management will keep him in developmental, so he can simplify his in ring style to suit the audience.
August 25, 2014
"He just signed with us. I was there when he had his tryout at the WWE Performance Center and I met with him there. We've been working on this for a while. His training will start when he gets here. The thing is, you can be a big star anyplace else in the world. That gets you in the door. What you do once you get here is a whole different ballgame. He's no different than anybody else once he walks through the door of the Performance Center." - Triple H on how Kenta Kobayashi will be treated in WWE
July 17, 2014
Even though he had already established himself as one of the top performers overseas, Kenta Kobayashi is actually being sent to the developmental program by WWE. Management wants him to change up his style a bit and adopt the slower pace style that the company prefers. No word yet on how long Kobayashi will be required to stay down at the WWE Performance Center.
July 12, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Michelle McCool had visited the WWE Performance Center to help train some of the developmental divas. That led to speculations that Undertaker was there as well. Contrary to the rumors, he was not there. The legendary performer has largely stayed away from the business since his match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30.
June 26, 2014
While she still has every intention of being a stay at home mother and wife, Michelle McCool decided to get out of the house on Monday. She made a visit to the WWE Performance Center. No word yet on why she was there this time around, but she has been known to drop in and help do a little training with the developmental divas. Her appearances always spark rumors of a return to WWE, so don't be surprised if the chatter increases over the next few days.
June 24, 2014
To the average WWE fan, Adam Pearce is not a household name, but to those in the industry, however, he's definitely a familiar face. The longtime independent wrestling star was spotted backstage at Payback 2014. The belief is that he was a guest of the company, as he has been helping to train some of the developmental wrestlers at the WWE Performance Center.
June 2, 2014
A couple of weeks ago, Alex Wright was brought to the United States by WWE to work as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center. While the company was doing a tour of Europe, William Regal was sent to the wrestling school that Wright owns to check things out. Rumors have it that WWE wants to maintain an ongoing working relationship with Wright, in an attempt to find new talent from Europe.
May 26, 2014
After a dozen years of staying away from the United States, Alex Wright made a special trip to America as a guest of WWE. Management flew him in from Germany and had him acting as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center. After retiring as an in ring performer himself, Wright opened up a successful wrestling school and started a promotion.
May 14, 2014
The Samoan presence in WWE has just gotten a little bit stronger, as Savelina Fanene is now under a developmental contract with the company. She is related to the Rock and does have an athletic background. Savelina recently noted on Instagram that she had moved to Orlando, where she will be training for the next year at the WWE Performance Center.
May 10, 2014
Yesterday, news broke out that Tough Enough was being brought back and being aired on the WWE Network. Now, some details are swirling around. Rumors have it that the company will be filming the series at the WWE Performance Center. Some of the lesser known developmental wrestlers like CJ Parker, Sylvester Lefort and Travis Tyler are also rumored to be a part of the show as well.
May 2, 2014
Even though he is no longer touring with the company or being utilized on television, Yoshi Tatsu continues to work really hard, perfecting his craft at the WWE Performance Center every week. Management loves his attitude and determination, so they rewarded him with a spot at Wrestlemania 30 last night. Tatsu was a surprise entrant in the battle royal.
April 7, 2014
Long known as one of the best female performers in Canada and Japan, Sarita has never really been on the radar for WWE. That has changed as of late, as the former TNA knockout spent a week at the WWE Performance Center, doing various tryouts for the company. A veteran performer like Sarita could really help out the divas division.
March 24, 2014
After spending some time down at the WWE Performance Center, Brodus Clay is now back on the road. He worked a live event over the weekend in Atlantic City, where he did a quick dance off segment with the Great Khali, another performer who has been off the road for a couple of weeks. No word on a television return for Clay yet.
March 24, 2014
In a subtle move, WWE has begun phasing out the logo that they have been using for the last several years. They are replacing it with the logo for the WWE Network, which Vince McMahon reportedly likes more. The company recently pulled the switch at the WWE Performance Center and are expected to do so with Monday Night Raw and Smackdown soon.
March 21, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Michelle McCool was spotted training at the WWE Performance Center this week. She was helping some of the developmental performers out. Some are speculating that she is interested in becoming a trainer for the company, while others think that she might just be helping out because her husband, Undertaker, is working Wrestlemania 30.
March 13, 2014
While he continues to train hard at the WWE Performance Center, there has been some doubt as to how far Ricardo Rodriguez will be able to go as a wrestler. He already has the personality to make it work, but there are some fears that some fans will not be able to see past him as just being a manager and a sidekick for Alberto Del Rio.
March 11, 2014
Earlier this year, it was reported that Kevin Steen, the longtime ROH star, would be doing a tryout for WWE, and it has now been confirmed that he will be doing so at the WWE Performance Center from March 24 to March 26. Several other independent wrestling stars are scheduled to be doing tryouts that week as well.

February 22, 2014
It has been a couple of weeks now since he was at the WWE Performance center, and it looks like a developmental contract will not be offered to Kenta Kobayashi. When he returned to Japan and downplayed the tryout, many were under the impression that the company was not interested in bringing the international star on board.
February 19, 2014
There was a lot of hype behind the signing of Prince Devitt, so WWE wants to figure out a good way to introduce the international star to their fan base. Reports have surfaced that the company is thinking about utilizing him in the tag team division to start. The two names that have been toss around as potential partners are Sami Zayn and the newly signed Kevin Steen.
September 19, 2014
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
During a recent interview, Sami Zayn revealed that Antonio Cesaro actually made the request to management to go down to WWE NXT and work there. Zayn explained that the motive behind the move was to let certain people backstage see what he was capable of since it is harder to get the spotlight on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. According to Zayn, Triple H was really impressed with what he saw in Cesaro.
September 11, 2014
Despite proving himself to be a valuable commodity on the international circuit for WWE, talks of promoting Sami Zayn to the main roster have died down tremendously as of late. With Bo Dallas and Adam Rose struggling to gain a connection with the audience, the belief is that management is hesitant to bring another person up from developmental at this time.
August 2, 2014
As a sign of how much the company values his overseas appeal, Sami Zayn was brought on the tour of Europe with the main roster. The developmental wrestler worked matches with Damien Sandow and was actually given the win. Zayn is starting to become a regular on these overseas tour, so it would not be a stretch to see WWE promoting him to Monday Night Raw soon.
May 25, 2014

April 26, 2014
Aside from being a really good in ring performer, Sami Zayn has been increasing his chances of being called up to the main roster in WWE by becoming a bit of a marketing asset for the company. During the recent tour of Saudi Arabia, Zayn was promoted from being from that part of the world, and the fans gave him a good reaction.
April 24, 2014
When several of the WWE stars take off for Saudi Arabia this week, Sami Zayn will be joining them. He's the only developmental wrestler going on the tour. WWE wanted to get a better look at him, and some backstage feel that he might have some marketing appeal overseas. There are still rumors floating around that Zayn could be one of the WWE NXT stars to be called up to the main roster in the coming weeks.
April 16, 2014
Even though WWE is bringing up Bo Dallas, Alexander Rusev, Adam Rose and Paige, there are still plans from management to move Sami Zayn from the WWE NXT roster to the main one. There were talks that he was going to be kept in developmental, so that the program can have some depth and star power, but it looks like WWE is going all in now.
April 11, 2014
Since management had an initiative this week to introduce as many new stars as possible, Adam Rose vignettes were presented to fans in the arena and at home on Monday Night Raw. WWE was impressed with Rose, but some felt that he needed a little more time down in developmental. Many believed that Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn were ahead of him in line.
April 9, 2014
Since management still is trying to figure out a way to get the WWE NXT guys involved at Wrestlemania 30, there is a chance that Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville could be given one of the three remaining spots in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at the pay per view on Sunday. Rob Van Dam is a strong candidate to take a spot as well.
April 3, 2014
For the last few weeks, there have been talks about finding a way to get WWE NXT featured at Wrestlemania 30, and it looks like the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal is the solution. Management can now throw a couple of the developmental performers on the show. Guys like Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas and Mojo Rowley have very good chances of being chosen.
March 12, 2014
When officials recently informed the developmental wrestlers that WWE NXT would be featured more heavily because of its addition to the WWE Network, a lot of people were pleased. However, there were some that believed that it meant a harder road to get to the main roster now. Guys like Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn could be waiting a lot longer than usual.
March 6, 2014
Through Twitter, Sami Zayn posted this message about celebrating a dozen years being in the professional wrestling business. A lot of fans are unaware of his experience, as some only know of him as a developmental wrestler for WWE at the moment.
March 3, 2014
It is all but certain that Antonio Cesaro is guaranteed a spot at Wrestlemania 30 this year. The audience reaction over the last several weeks have been noted by management. He is currently penciled in for a match against Jack Swagger, but there are now talks that he might do a rematch against Sami Zayn at the pay per view, so the company can promote WWE NXT.
March 2, 2014
WWE officials have high hopes in the upcoming match between Antonio Cesaro and Sami Zayn. The two of them are headlining the Arrival show, which is where WWE NXT will be making its debut on the WWE Network. Management is expected to give them plenty of time to work and are hoping that the match can draw in fans to their developmental program.
February 17, 2014
"I want to prove that I am the best NXT has to offer. I want to prove that to Triple H, Shawn Michaels and my boyhood hero, Bret Hart, who will be in attendance that night. I want to make John Cena, the guy at the top of our industry, see that Sami Zayn is going to be the guy out of NXT to keep your eye on. I want to prove it to the fans who've believed in me all along. I want to prove to the people that never believed that I even belonged here, just how wrong they are. Above all else, I not only want to prove it to Cesaro, I need to prove it to myself." - Sami Zayn talks about wanting to be the next big WWE star
February 16, 2014
Taking heavy influences from the design of the Grand Theft Auto video game, Jay Lethal has an awesome new shirt. It basically features him in cartoon mode, where he is Undertaker, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. It also appears that his character is wearing the mask previously worn by Sami Zayn as well.

boiling point[edit]
Shouldn't that be "low boiling point" ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
No. Its boiling point is high relative to other refrigerants. P Cottontail 06:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Use in production of illegal drugs[edit]
It appears that this chemical also has illegal uses, which could be useful to note. "Liquid Freon is used as a solvent for methamphetamine base extraction. It is most frequently used by Mexican National labs (Turkington, 2000)." - http://oehha.ca.gov/public_info/pdf/TSD%20Freon%20Meth%20Labs%2010'8'03.pdf 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Ozone depletion[edit]
The claim that it has the highest ODP of any refrigerant is incorrect. ODP is an arbitrary value that happens to use R11 as 1.0 reference. There are higher ODP refrigerants such as low-temperature refrigerant R13B1 which has an ODP of 10. The statement was unreferenced anyways.Cantaloupe2 (talk) 10:36, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Product description
The creators of the revolutionary performance management tool called the Balanced Scorecard introduce a new approach that makes strategy a continuous process owned not just by top management, but by everyone. In The Strategy-Focused Organization, Robert Kaplan and David Norton share the results of ten years of learning and research into more than 200 companies that have implemented the Balanced Scorecard. Drawing from more than twenty in-depth case studies--including Mobil, CIGNA, and AT&T Canada--Kaplan and Norton illustrate how Balanced Scorecard adopters have taken their groundbreaking tool to the next level. These organizations have used the scorecard to create an entirely new performance management framework that puts strategy at the center of key management processes and systems. Kaplan and Norton articulate the five key principles required for building strategy-focused organizations: 1) translate the strategy into operational terms, 2) align the organization to the strategy, 3) make strategy everyone's everyday job, 4) make strategy a continual process, and 5) mobilize change through strong, effective leadership. The authors provide a detailed account of how a range of organizations in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors have deployed these principles to achieve breakthrough, sustainable performance improvements.

Arizona to oppose EPA on greenhouse gas regs
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has pulled the state out of a lawsuit that supported the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its quest to regulate greenhouse gases.
The state had joined the lawsuit under former Attorney General Terry Goddard, a Democrat.
The EPA proposed its rules regarding greenhouse gas emissions after climate legislation in Congress became bogged down amid protracted fights among Democrats and Republicans.
Horne, a Republican, said the plan was a "classic example of a federal agency trying to do the job of elected legislators, and at the same time place burdensome mandates on business."

Middle Cefn Farmhouse
Farmhouse | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 6
|Key Info
So it's fallen down to you, the organiser, to sort out the family holiday, the weekend break or to book the accommodation for a wedding or some other special occasion? We hope you like our farmhouse and find it easy to read through. Any questions please email us;
WHERE IS THE FARMHOUSE? Down a private driveway, away from roads and neighbours, on a family farm with stunning views of the Black Mountains, a few minutes drive from the busy village of Ewyas Harold in Herefordshire.
WHICH ARE YOUR CLOSEST TOWNS? Ewyas Harold is conveniently located mid way between Hereford, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Hay on Wye and Ross on Wye. They are all about 15 miles away (roughly 30 minutes).
WHAT IS THE FARMHOUSE LIKE? It is a pretty stone cottage that offers clean, light accommodation that comfortably sleeps six adults, plus a small infant. It has three bedrooms, a large bathroom, lounge, snug, breakfast room and kitchen. For your comfort there is a woodburner, free wifi, flat screen TV with DVD player, CD player, hair dryer, as well as the usual kitchen appliances which include a large separate fridge and freezer, microwave, washing machine and electric oven. From the cottage there are lovely views of the mountains and farmland, in which the guests are invited to wander to enjoy the wildlife, fresh air and wonderful surroundings. Please come and enjoy the south facing patio area which is ideal for taking in the stunning mountain scenery and, if you are very lucky, spotting the red kites!
WHAT'S THERE FOR CHILDREN? The farmhouse is an ideal retreat with children. It is a safe place to let your children roam freely. Younger children can play in the wooden tree house, ride on toys, use the reading books and indoor toddler toys. Whilst older children can enjoy the tyre swing, play in the shallow stream, wander the fields and build mud pies. Why not bring their bikes, so they can enjoy bombing about the farm? And whilst they are being occupied mums and dads can sit back, relax and enjoy the views! Baby essentials, such as a high chair and travel cot as well as any extras for example a baby carrier, if requested in advance.
WHAT CAN WE DO IN THE LOCAL AREA? There is something for all ages. From our grounds you can pretty much walk in any direction onto a footpath and walk as far as you want. There is also a large common 5 mins away, where you can wander with the dog or take a bike. We have a local ice cream farm that has a playground, nature trail, zip wire and sells wonderful home made ice creams. You can also pony trek, quad bike, paintball, canoe, climb and much much more. We have many good pubs and restaurants nearby, The Temple Bar in Ewyas Harold, The Bridge Inn at Michaelchurch Escley, The Crown Inn at Longtown just to mention a few. If you are celebrating a special occasion by not book yourselves into our neighbours unique French restaurant Toi et Moi, over the field ( but please do this before you arrive, there are only 6 tables and they get booked up quickly ).
WHERE CAN WE GET PROVISIONS? We are only a few minutes drive from Ewyas Harold, which is a good sized village with a village shop, family run butchers, fish and chip shop, doctors surgery, two pubs selling food most nights and a children's playground.
Just a thought...why not place a supermarket shop on line before you arrive, to be delivered at the beginning of your stay, or even better, arrange for it to be delivered, before your stay and we will put it away in the kitchen cupboards for you (just please email us first to check we will be in). Postcode HR2 0JH. Tesco works well.
We love Middle Cefn because of its stunning views and its peaceful location. Great for everyone, children, grandparents, dogs etc who wish to get away from it, without being isolated, as its within easy access of village life and only 25 minutes from the M50.

The Heart of England/Peak District
Where "England meets Wales", a great location convenient for exploring both of these fantastic country's. A private location with stunning rural views of the Black Mountains, a great place to get away from it all but close enough to a busy village for all your holiday essentials and a variety of exciting eating places.
Ewyas Harold
The area is easily accessible, being 25 minutes from the M50, which makes it an ideal base for exploring Cheltenham, Worcester, Cardiff and Ludlow as well as the nearby Cathedral city of Hereford (12 miles) and other attractive market towns like Hay on Wye (17 miles), Abergavenny (12 miles) and Monmouth (14 miles).
The buildings are nestled on a hillside just over 2 miles from the village of Ewyas Harold. In the centre of the village are two country public houses (serving food ), a small local butchers, a well equipped village stores and a fish and chip shop. Closer to the site, there is an licensed French restaurant, Toi et Moi, serving outstanding seasonal food on Thursday, Friday and Saturday lunch times and evenings (booking essential).
There are many walking and cycling opportunities locally. Within walking distance of the farmhouse is Ewyas Harold Common, a great open area to explore either on foot or on bike, at all times of year. Or why not experience paintball for the first time (for 12 years olds and over) on our farm? There are lots more things to do, such as the walking on the Offa Dyke Path, climbing/canoeing in the wonderful Wye Valley or pony treking in the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, all within easy driving distance.
A great time to visit: During the ten days at the end of May when Hay-on-Wye (30 minutes away by car) hosts a renowned literacy festival. On a weekend in September during Abergavenny's wonderful food festival. At Christmas & New Year when the log burner is lit and you can see snow on the mountains. In spring when the baby lambs are bouncing in our fields and the birdsong is at it's best. In the summer when you can enjoy a family BBQ with the back drop of the wonderful Herefordshire countryside. Middle Cefn Farmhouse is a great place to stay in any season!!

"Fantastic House"
We had a great stay at October half-term, despite the weather. The house was wonderfully equipped, exceptionally clean and very cosy. It was great having the 2 sitting rooms as we could escape from the children watching the television. The boys also loved the garden and spent a happy time sploshing around in the rain exploring. We enjoyed exploring the local area and had a lovely walk into the village. We also visited Hay on Wye, the Black Mountains and Hereford. Lisa was extremely helpful when we were booking and really friendly during our stay if we had any questions. We hope to return to this lovely cottage soon.

"Excellent accomodation. Cosy and inviting with lots of lovely finishing touches."
The accomodation had wonderful views and we also enjoyed trip to Hay on Wye. Plenty of local walks also. We would definately re-visit during the summer months. The owners also provided us with a travel cot and high chair and were extremely helpful during our visit.

"Fantastic value accommodation in the midst of beautiful countryside"
We spent a long weekend at Middle Cefn during July this year. The accommodation, which is set amidst beautiful Herefordshire countryside, was of a high standard (in terms of cleanliness and decor) and was fantastic value for money. We were warmly welcomed and the Briggs' were very helpful in answering all our questions, which added greatly to our stay. We just wished we could have stayed longer.

Confucius (aka K'ung Fu-Zi) (c. 551 BC c. 479 BC) was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher whose book, The Analects of Confucius guided Chines culture for well over a thousand years and though Confucianism has diminished dramatically, The Analects still have a tremendous influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today.
The Analects teach the basic Confucian values including social and ritual propriety, righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety, all centered about the central thought of becoming the "proper man" or "gentleman." Interestingly, one can find the Golden Rule within its pages, though stated in the negative: Do NOT do unto others as you would NOT have them do unto you.
However, be aware that The Analects, unlike many other philosophical books, does not translate well into English. Many of the concepts refer to people and places the Occidental mind has no awareness of. The bottom line is that without a well-written and researched commentary, many of the nuances will be lost on the Western reader. However, to understand the Oriental mind, reading and studying The Analects is not an option and there are sections that are easily understandable to an individual seeking to understand the morality and philosophy of Confucius.

Okakura Kakuzō (18621913) was a Japanese scholar who contributed to the development of arts in Japan. Outside of Japan, he is chiefly remembered today as the author of The Book of Tea.
The Book of Tea is truly a beautiful work in spite of its harsh criticism of the West, but at the time it was written, Japan was sacrificing its traditions and its culture in favor of Occidental trappings. Kakuzōs desire was not to have Japanese art remain in stasis, but mature and evolve along lines untouched (or untainted as Kakuzō would probably say) by Western influences.
In this book, Kakuzō goes into great detail about the spiritual development of Japan and how the celebration of tea, seen at that time more as an artistic and spiritual art form, developed from a fusion of Buddhism, Taoism, and Shintoism.
Alas, as important as Kakuzōs work was during his lifetime, today Japan is one of the most secular countries in the world having embraced a more materialistic worldview. The West has won.
This would have saddened Kakuzō, but would not have caught him completely by surprise as the Japanese Tea Ceremony teaches all things are ephemeral and that all things, including countries, pass away.
So I leave you with this quote from the book before we once again turn and submerge ourselves into our sterile and secular world:
Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.
Elliott O'Donnell (1872-1965) was a prolific Irish author specializing in the supernatural and was a renowned ghost hunter.
His book on werewolves is of little value to the study of the folklore of the creatures. A true believer, ODonnell embellishes his stories with drama and an omniscient viewpoint which calls his scholarship and objectivity into question.
However, for some surprisingly good stories on lycanthropy, the book has quite a number of them for those readers who enjoy werewolf tales mixed with dark castles and gloomy woodland cottages.

Published in 1886, Spring Heeled Jack: The Terror of London is a rare example of what is historically known as the "penny dreadful," a cheaply, mass produced pamphlet aimed at the lower classes for their reading pleasure.
Ironically, though there were many penny dreadfuls published, few have survived because of the cheapness of the paper.
Historically, Spring Heeled Jack was either an apparition or an urban legend (depending on your personal viewpoint) who terrorized London and its environs from 1837 to 1904, a British version of the Jersey Devil.
This story reveals Spring Heeled Jack as a young man wronged out of his inheritance and, in an attempt to get it back, dons an odd costume and a technologically advanced boot that gives him the ability to jump great distances.
Like any penny dreadful, it is full of drama and melodrama and is worth the short read for a tale that sounds reminiscent of America's Batman.

Chinese company Suntech, the world's largest producer of solar panels, has now
deployed over 100 megawatts of solar panels in Israel, the company announced
Sunday.Suntech, which has been operating in Israel for four years, is
responsible for nearly half of the solar systems installed in the country,
according to company data. Among the firm's major clients is Arava Power
Company's Ketura Sun 4.95-MW project, the first and only medium- size field to
be erected in Israel."We are very proud to accomplish this milestone in
the Israeli market," said Ron Shen, vice president of Suntech Asia Pacific,
Middle East and Africa. "Since we started business here in year 2008, Suntech
has been committed to the ongoing development of the Israeli solar market, and
we opened an office in Tel Aviv last year to better support our local customers.
With high solar irradiation and a growing demand for clean electricity, Israel
is, and will continue to be, a growth market for solar."Across the
world, Suntech has sold approximately 7 gigawatts worth of solar panels – about
25 million panels – to more than 1,000 customers in more than 80 countries. In
total, the Suntech panels are now generating about 9 terawatt- hours worth of
electricity per year, a number that is greater than the total energy consumption
of Costa Rica or Paraguay, for example, the company said.Danny Denan,
CEO of Suntech's largest Israel distributor, Enerpoint Israel, attributed the
company's success to its specific technology that is very adaptive to extreme
desert temperatures."It is no surprise that Suntech has the largest
market share among solar-panel providers operating in Israel," he said.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Her time is now
But sophomore sensation was on Wesmen's radar at a young age
Ozana Nikolic was only in Grade 10 when she walked into coach Diane Scott's office to ask if she could practise with the University of Winnipeg Wesmen women's volleyball team.
You'd have to give Nikolic points for creativity. That day she was just trying to find a place to play.
Fast forward four years, the 19-year-old Nikolic is in her second season with the Wesmen after being named CIS and Canada West rookie of the year last season.
"I remember the look on her face that day but Diane didn't laugh, so that was good," Nikolic, a left-side player who is working toward her degree in science, said with a smile. "She explained I had to attend the university to play for the Wesmen, but that's when I started to get to know Diane and what university volleyball was all about. I've tried to make it an opportunity to learn and grow, to become a better person as well as a better student and athlete."
A graduate of the U of W Collegiate, Nikolic is already in a leadership role on the team, thanks to her athletic ability and upbeat personality.
"Ozana understands about being part of a team," Scott said. "Her life is part of a team."
Nikolic is the eldest of Marko and Zeljana Nikolic's six daughters. Her five sisters are aged 6, 8, 11, 13 and 17.
"I have my own volleyball team at home," Nikolic said, laughing.
While her five siblings were born in Canada, Nikolic was born in Croatia. Her parents, one Serbian and one Croatian, left the former Yugoslavia to escape the Bosnian War. Nikolic was 15 months old when the family moved to Canada in 1995.
Hers is a close-knit family, which was why Nikolic's hectic schedule of school and volleyball at first seemed too much. But after sitting out her Grade 10 year, she returned the following year.
"She played so well, my husband and I looked at each other and said, 'Nothing is going to stop her,' " said Ozana's mom Zeljana, noting Nikolic developed as a player despite never attending development camps for financial and family reasons. "Our focus is really on our family time and not to be that ambitious unless there is really such a gift as Ozana has. She has talent, which in a way, scared us. What is going to happen with our little child? But we are very proud of her and very happy. We are very faithful and it is clearly a gift from God."
As the Wesmen play this weekend in Regina against the Cougars, Nikolic is second in the conference in kills per set with 4.15 behind Manitoba's Rachel Cockrell (4.42) and second in points per set with 4.62, also behind Cockrell (4.82).
"Oz had a chance to come in last year and play and flourish with a more experienced team. This year, she's taking on more responsibility, she wants more responsibility and she's capable of handling it," Scott said. "Ozana has a confidence about her but at the same time, she loves being part of a team and the kinship of the team. She's comfortable having fun and having support around her but being a leader at the same time."
Nikolic said there's parallels between being part of a big family and part of a team.
"You learn that to win as a team, you have to work as a group, accept each other's faults and differences and work with that as well," she said. "Learn that losing is part of life and the only way to get through it and grow from it is to stick together as a team."

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Klassens to talk faith at Aulneau event
The Klassen sisters will speak about their faith at an upcoming event hosted by the Aulneau Renewal Centre.
The Hamel Avenue-based centre will host a breakfast launch for its Caring for the Spirit program at Fort Gibraltar (866 Rue Saint Joseph) on Sat., April 13 at 9:30 a.m.
Multiple Winter Olympic speed skating medallist Cindy Klassen and sister Lisa Klassen, who survived a February 2008 accident when her vehicle cleared a guardrail on a bridge on the Perimeter Highway and plunged into the frozen Red River, will be speaking at the event about how their "faith has defined them and their life's journey," organizers say.
Proceeds from the event will go towards the program, which is designed to provide an opportunity for holistic growth, particularly for individuals the centre has served in the past and will serve in the future.
The program currently involves a chaplaincy at the centre and morning meditation. Organizers hope to include Christian meditation, a drum circle and yoga later this year, and there are also plans to add evening gatherings, featuring speakers with an emphasis on First Nations perspectives.
Tickets are $30 and can be purchased by calling Nicole at 204-987-7090.

Earlier this year, Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney asked for their Massachusetts marriage to be recognized as Ms. Quasney was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and cannot wait any longer for the protections of marriage. A decision issued last week by a federal district court in Baskin v. Bogan struck down Indiana's marriage ban as unconstitutional, but the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay on the decision.
From Lamda Legal's Blog:
The Seventh Circuit issued its order after Lambda Legal filed an emergency motion asking the appeals court to lift—as to Niki and Amy—the stay granted by that court last Friday, because Niki is battling Stage IV ovarian cancer, and the family needs the dignity, comfort, and protections of marriage as they fight to be together.
Paul D. Castillo, Staff Attorney for Lambda Legal, said:
It is time for the State of Indiana to leave Niki and Amy in peace and not subject them and their marriage to any more stress and uncertainty as this case proceeds. We're thrilled that the court ruled in favor of this family as Niki battles stage four ovarian cancer. We will continue to fight until no family in Indiana needs to worry about their marriage being stripped away from them and all Hoosiers have the freedom to marry.
In response to the emergency motion filed by Lambda Legal on behalf of Niki and Amy, the 7th Circuit also set an expedited briefing schedule in Baskin v. Bogan, with all briefs in the case due by August 5. Arguments in the case could come as early as the end of the summer.
Baskin v. Bogan was filed on March 10, 2014 in the United States District Court in the Southern District of Indiana. Lambda Legal later filed a motion seeking immediate relief for Ms. Quasney, Ms. Sandler and their two children ages 3 and 1. Almost five years ago, Ms. Quasney was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, having more than 100 tumors removed surgically in 2009, and has since gone through years of chemotherapy. They have a civil union in Illinois and were married in Massachusetts in 2013 but need their marriage legally recognized in Indiana to receive the full protections that every other married family in Indiana receives.
