Tailings Management Framework: a new chapter in Alberta's oilsands story?
The success of Alberta's new tailings framework will depend on the next steps taken to ensure compliance.
Protecting the habitat of species at risk while developing energy resources
Canada's boreal forest is one of the largest remaining intact forest ecosystems in the world. The area where oilsands development takes place is home to nearly 90 species at risk, which are expected to decline as critical habitat is increasingly disturbed. The oilsands sector has an opportunity to reverse this trend.
Will B.C.'s LNG strategy really help global climate change?
When world leaders gathered in Lima, Peru, for global climate change talks this month, British Columbia's environment minister, Mary Polak, was among them. Minister Polak included the province's liquefied natural gas export aspirations as part of B.C.'s climate success story, arguing that LNG will displace coal in Asia. Unfortunately, the evidence doesn't support this claim.
Alberta's carbon pricing not best-in-Canada example
Prime Minister Stephen Harper cited Alberta's version of carbon pricing as a model that could be applied at a national scale. Our analysis has found that an Alberta-style model could work at the national level — but it wouldn't be ideal.
Four ways Alberta could turn its climate record around Lima to Paris: Part 3
The wrap-up of UN climate talks in Lima, Peru, comes at a significant time for Alberta. Canada is not on track to hit its 2020 climate target, and the growth in Alberta's carbon pollution is a significant barrier. But Alberta's new climate strategy is expected by the end of the year, and the province has several big opportunities to turn things around.
How the West can help drive Canada's efforts on climate Lima to Paris: Part 1
As the world's governments meet in Lima this week to discuss what to do about climate change, many are already looking ahead to the next round of climate talks in Paris. Those same governments have agreed to strike a new deal to shape the global response to climate change in a year's time. And there's good reason to be optimistic that an agreement could be reached in 2015.
Bigger isn't always better Smaller energy projects offer big economic benefits
Economic development discussions in B.C. too often centre on large-scale proposals like LNG terminals, oilsands pipelines or hydroelectric dams like Site C. While they don't generate the same headlines, it's small- to medium-sized companies that are actually driving the provincial economy, employing 94 per cent of B.C.'s private sector employees.
We can pay less for cleaner power
There's a common misconception that increasing the supply of renewable energy to the electricity grid drives up power costs in Alberta. In fact, clean energy is lowering Albertans' electricity costs.
Three ideas to improve B.C.'s new carbon rules for LNG
Bill 2 (regulating carbon pollution from LNG terminals in B.C.) has significant flaws that will limit its potential benefit and could even weaken B.C.'s climate policies in a worst-case scenario. Here are three of the most important weaknesses and some ideas on how to address them.
How shifting vehicles to natural gas could help stem the rise of methane in Alberta
As natural gas flaring increases in Alberta, it is encouraging that the Alberta Energy Regulator seems to be taking action. Using natural gas in vehicles is a partial solution in the offing that could yield dividends all around.
LNG isn't B.C.'s only economic option
The B.C. government has consistently overstated the potential benefits of LNG. Such polarizing rhetoric is unproductive at best.
The unsolved mysteries of oilsands environmental monitoring
Building and running a comprehensive monitoring program for the oilsands that keeps pace with the rapid growth of the industry is very challenging — especially considering how huge the industry is already. Oilsands development currently produces 61 million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution, consumes 185 billion litres of freshwater annually and has directly transformed more land area than the entire city of Calgary.
Risky climate policy Why governments do the energy sector no favours with a status quo approach
There should be no confusion about where Canada stands with respect to its efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and meet its international climate targets.
Air quality data to Government of Alberta: your move
The Government of Alberta reported this month that air quality in areas near oilsands development in Northern Alberta was recorded as exceeding warning levels in 2012. While investments in air quality monitoring are beginning to pay off, this data will place a new Premier in a difficult position.
How to design stakeholder engagement to build trust Lessons from case studies on carbon capture and storage
We recently explored lessons learned from consultation processes for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. What we learned can be applied to any kind of energy development and is especially useful for developers of sources of oil and gas that use new or unknown technologies and approaches.
Meeting climate targets is a top priority for British Columbians
New polling research by the Pembina Institute, Clean Energy Canada and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions shows that nearly 9 out of 10 British Columbians think hitting our climate targets is a priority for the province.
Auditor General's scathing review ups pressure to improve Alberta's weak climate policy
This week, the Alberta Auditor General released the scathing results of his review of the province's climate change strategy. Despite recommendations from two previous audits, the report found the government still lacks a definitive plan to meet its climate targets and to report progress.
Making sense of fossil fuel subsidies
In 2009, Canada committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies along with the other member states of the G20. But five years later, Canadian taxpayers continue to subsidize a sector that is both profitable and well established. As our latest report explains, the financial support Canada gives the oil sector is unnecessary given the favourable economic reality that sector currently faces.
CNRL admits design failure could have caused Primrose bitumen leaks
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) has come as close as it likely ever will to admitting that the design of the Primrose Cyclic Steam Stimulation project has failed, and that this failure led to the four bitumen and steam emulsion blowouts that were discovered several kilometres apart just over one year ago.
Future-proofing the oil and gas sector
Energy companies are doubling down on oil, even as the likelihood of government action on climate change has never been higher. If local leaders like Cenovus are getting out of the renewables game, what does that mean for the oil and gas sector's ability to proactively adapt to a carbon-constrained world?
B.C. Climate Action Plan 2.0?
In case you weren't poring over government news releases on the Monday before Canada Day, you might have missed B.C.'s 2014 Climate Progress Report. While it has some controversial elements, it's predominantly positive news that merits attention.
The costs of losing social licence
The degree to which Canadians and others will grant social licence to resource development proposals and proponents will largely hinge on whether — and how — industry and governments choose to implement these solutions to environmental performance and carbon emissions.
U.S. action on climate amplifies leadership vacuum in Ottawa
The Obama administration unveiled its significant plans to tackle carbon pollution from coal-fired electricity generation this week. Those plans include a commitment to reduce electricity emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, and strong targets for near-term reductions by 2020.
Liberals vow 'cleanest LNG', then redefine 'cleanest' twice
"A promise made. A promise kept." That's been a main message from the B.C. Liberals celebrating the one-year anniversary of their 2013 election victory. But when it comes to their promise to produce the "cleanest liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world," a better phrase might be "A promise made. A promise redefined."
British Columbians want an energy shift Strong majority want B.C. to transition away from using and exporting fossil fuels
New opinion research commissioned by the Pembina Institute, the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, and Clean Energy Canada shows that the majority of British Columbians not only want to move away from using and exporting fossil fuels, they also see economic benefits in doing so.
Big shiny trends: Canada's new emissions numbers
Every year, industrialized countries publish their national inventories of carbon pollution. Canada's vast and detailed report, meticulously assembled by Environment Canada, gives us a thorough picture of where our greenhouse gas emissions come from, and how they have changed since 1990. We check in on three key stories in the 2014 inventory report.
Getting back in gear: oilsands climate performance
Oilsands emission performance doesn't have to stay stuck in neutral. The roadmap to lower emissions intensity in oilsands is becoming apparent. But for that to become a reality, we need a policy framework that makes sure the cleanest technologies are also the smartest investment.
Oilsands talking point collides with reality
Proponents of oilsands expansion often repeat that missions per barrel have been reduced by 26 per cent between 1990 and 2011. The message implies that things are getting better all the time. Given the scale of oilsands expansion planned for the coming decades, it's worth venturing past the talking point to better understand these emissions intensity improvements and whether or not they will continue.
Despite the fanfare, devolution means less say for northerners over land and resources
This week, the federal government passes regulatory power over lands and resources in the Northwest Territories (NWT) to the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT). Yet, despite the fanfare, the promise of Northern control over lands and resources is ringing increasingly hollow.
Study draws attention to tailings seepage in the oilsands
Last month, scientists from Environment Canada released a study citing research that estimated the rate at which tailings water is likely seeping from one lake (and into groundwater systems hydraulically connected to the Athabasca River). The research cited determined that rate to be 6.5 million litres per day. We discuss the study research in the context of oilsands expansion and how governments should respond to this information.
Seeing the full picture on pipelines and the oilsands
Over the last few months, debates about pipelines have become a staple of the news in Canada. In 2014, we can expect to hear a lot more about Energy East, a major west-to-east pipeline that would carry over one million barrels of crude per day. We need a venue for a meaningful discussion about the impacts — both positive and negative — of growing oilsands production.
Piecing together B.C.'s LNG fiscal framework
Tuesday's B.C. budget unveiled the first substantive information on the province's promised liquefied natural gas tax. While the budget did provide some welcome clarity, many questions remain unanswered — most importantly how much money will be collected from a given amount of exported LNG. Here's a look at some of the province's bigger fiscal pieces that will apply to the LNG supply chain in B.C. if any projects do proceed.
Crunching the numbers on Canada's biggest pipeline proposal
Pembina has published a new report about the potential climate impacts associated with the proposed Energy East pipeline. Our research shows that producing the crude required to fill the pipeline would significantly increase Canada's greenhouse gas emissions and make it even more difficult to meet our climate targets.
More trouble with 2030
The federal government quietly released a new emissions report over the holidays. It projects a significant and sustained rise in Canada's greenhouse gas emissions unless we dramatically improve our climate policies. This post explores some of the other significant stories found in that report, particularly at the provincial level.
B.C.'s LNG quiz doesn't make the grade
If you're like me, you worry that British Columbia's government is rushing its pursuit of liquefied natural gas development without taking the time to think through and manage the consequences, both social and environmental. The province's new LNG awareness quiz doesn't ease those concerns.
The trouble with 2030
Think Canada's greenhouse gas emissions look bad today? Unfortunately, 2030 doesn't look any rosier. In October, Environment Canada published projections estimating that current policies will see Canada miss the Harper government's 2020 emissions target by 122 million tonnes. Now a new report offers us a glimpse of where Canada's emissions are headed after 2020, adding projections for the next decade.
Ottawa's oil and gas sitcom
Just when you thought things couldn't get any slower, Ottawa has yet another rationale for delaying greenhouse gas regulations for oil and gas companies. Worryingly, this one comes straight from the top.
Alberta's new monitoring bill mixes science with politics
Next week, an important piece of legislation will continue through its third reading in the Alberta legislature. Bill 31, the protecting Alberta's environment act, would establish the Alberta Environmental Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Agency (AEMERA) to obtain relevant scientific data and information regarding the condition of the environment in Alberta.
While the bill is essential to establish an independent monitoring agency — a goal we support — the proposed legislation has some basic flaws. Even more concerning, the government has been surprisingly closed-minded in responding to amendments proposed in the legislature that would enhance the bill.
Ottawa's underwhelming swipe at Europe's Fuel Quality Directive
Earlier this year, Natural Resources Canada commissioned a study to evaluate aspects of the European Union's Fuel Quality Directive. Canada has been lobbying very aggressively against the FQD, since fuels derived from natural bitumen (oilsands) would be assigned a higher carbon intensity value than those derived from conventional crudes.
The report was released on Wednesday but, despite the government's rhetoric, it offers nothing to discredit the directive. Rather, its findings seem to generally reinforce the defensibility of the Commission's proposed approach.
Documents raise concern over industry influence on delayed oilsands emissions regulations
This week, the Pembina Institute reviewed a package of documents obtained under Alberta's Freedom of Information legislation about future Alberta and federal greenhouse gas regulations.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Pro-Russia parade planned for city riles local Ukrainians
The world may love a parade but one quietly planned for Saturday in Winnipeg by anonymous Russian organizers is troubling members of the local Ukrainian community.
For the first time, a Victory Day parade will be held in Winnipeg commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The parade isn't the problem -- it's what people in it are planning to wear that's an issue, said Yevhen Viznyatsya.
Ribbons of St. George -- black-and-orange striped cloth that has become a symbol of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine -- are being distributed to the parade-goers in Winnipeg courtesy of the Russian government.
"They're worn by Russian separatists and they've become a symbol of terrorism for us," said Lesia Szwaluk, treasurer of the Manitoba Council of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
"In light of recent news, for me, it's disrespectful to the Ukrainian community," said Viznyatsya, a multilingual computer programmer from Ukraine who moved to Winnipeg four years ago.
He read about plans for a Victory Day parade that were outlined in English on the RussianWinnipeg.org website. It starts at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Manitoba legislature and ends at the Cenotaph on Memorial Boulevard.
The part that's alarming, said Viznyatsya, is written only in Russian. It said St. George ribbons are being distributed to the parade-goers in Winnipeg courtesy of the Russian government through its Canadian Embassy. The ribbons used to be worn as symbols to honour war vets -- similar to Remembrance Day poppies in Canada and the U.K. Now they're a symbol of Russian nationalism worn by masked gunmen and separatist forces in eastern Ukraine.
Viznyatsya said he's concerned ribbons worn at a parade in Canada will be used as propaganda by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I don't want this parade to be propaganda in Russia -- the next day in the Russian news we'll see the story 'Winnipeg supports Russian separatists.' "
No one at RussianWinnipeg.org responded to an email request for comment, and no contacts for the parade were listed.
Sofia Barklon, with the Russian Cultural Association of Manitoba, said she knew nothing about the parade or who is organizing it.
The Winnipeg Police Service said a parade permit had been obtained for the event but they couldn't reveal who applied for the permit.
Szwaluk said she doesn't know who's organized the parade but called its timing "suspicious."
"This is the very first time they're having a Victory Day parade in Winnipeg -- and this is since the Second World War. All of a sudden, this year with all the turmoil in Ukraine and all the suffering, they're having a Victory Parade?"
The English post on the RussianWinnipeg.org website says the parade is apolitical. It's happening now because "we have received requests for such a parade from the members of www.russianwinnipeg.org for the last number of years," it said.
"Everybody has the right to do what they'd like to do, but we're a multicultural community," said Szwaluk.
"I don't think we should hurt each other. Having those ribbons is very hurtful to the Ukrainian community. To me it just smells... I'm not comfortable with it."
Viznyatsya wrote to Premier Greg Selinger, Tory Leader Brian Pallister and Mayor Sam Katz to alert them to the parade.
"I just want to know their opinion." Pallister's office said they'd look into it.
Viznyatsya said he never heard back from Selinger or Katz.
How much of the intention behind the parade is celebratory and how much is provocative? Join the conversation in the comments below.

How do I determine that
mdworker (Spotlight) has completed its first scan? I'm basically looking for the point at which the little "." in the spotlight search icon would go away and you'd be able to perform searches. (Obviously the OS has a way to determine this since it displays a dot until it's ready...) I'm not seeing anything from
mdutil and I can't find anything in the Spotlight APIs.
I'm currently forcing my own scan synchronously using
mdimport, but this introduces a long delay (from minutes to hours depending on how aggressive I'm being about where to search) and duplicates work that
mdworker is already doing.
Any solution (programmatic, scripted, documented, or undocumented) is fair game here.

The Council on Consumer Affairs first convened in the fall of 1994. The Council was formed as a result of AUCD's (formerly AAUAP) increasing recognition of the importance of receiving consistent and ongoing consumer feedback. Start-up activities were funded by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, through a Project of National Significance entitled "Leadership and Choices." Principle support was provided by Bruce Eddy of AUCD and Carl Calkins of the University of Missouri/Kansas City, Missouri's UCEDD.
The Council leadership structure includes several internal committees and two co-chairs. 1998 By-Laws stipulate that one co-chair must be an individual with a disability, and the other be the family member of an individual with a disability. The three-year, staggered co-chair positions carry with them a slot on AUCD's Board of Directors.
Full Council membership consists of one representative of each UCEDD, designated by that UCEDD's director. The Council continues to strive to meet its long-term goal of full membership.
In 2003-2004, AUCD made a commitment to revitalize the role of COCA within the network. Past President of AUCD, David Johnson appointed an ad hoc COCA Workgroup. This workgroup, chaired by Carl Calkins, solicited feedback from the AUCD network and met several times to develop a renewed vision to strengthen the role of COCA. A final set of recommendations was produced and presented to the board and UCEDD Directors at the UCEDD Directors' retreat May 2-3, 2005 in Chicago, IL.

It's the Lenten season, and you may be someone who has to eat fish on Fridays. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. A fine fish dinner is a blessing.
Has this winter made you grow as a person? Now that it's spring, do you feel there is more of you to love? And are you not loving this development? Feel like the words pleasingly plump, zaftig and Rubenesque are getting a little too personally descriptive? Clearly, this is the season for big salads, not big buns. We needed some of those comforting winter carbs that gave us energy to shovel that snow, but spring and summer call for salads.
Dear Foodies and Cooks, it's almost Thanksgiving, so let's talk turkey. "Gobble, gobble," loosely translated means "Get out your roasting pans and let the cooking begin."

Great quality !
Classic Allure Save the Date Cards I loved that I got to personalize and customize the colors. It was really nice to get a free sample to see what it looked like in person before blindly buying them.
Love it!
Classic Allure Save the Date Cards I love the final project! Easy to customize and very affordable! They shipped very fast which was great!
Precious save the dates
Covenant Love Save the Date Cards The save the dates turned out so beautiful, right down to the pretty envelopes! Even the mailman commented on how pretty it was. I was wonderfully surprised by the quality and the overall turn out of the product. This definitely conveys that special touch that my fiancé and I wanted to deliver to our loved ones. You should definitely given MagnetStreet a try!
Vintage Vegas Save the Date Cards We will be married in Las Vegas in a very 'non-vegas' wedding. These cards are for our reception back home which is themed around all the fun and glitz of Vegas. Feathers, gaming tables, and the like. They were easy to personalize and fit the fun Vegas idea perfectly! You will love the cute box they arrive in and the quality.
Everything I expected
Classic Allure Save the Date Cards Simple, classic save the date card. I was actually expecting more of a matte finish. It actually has a glossy finish but it still looked awesome anyways. I wouldn't change a thing. Loved this product.

speekers-door handles
1995 Gtp — what i like about my car? i love it, its a 1995 grand prix GTP, white, and it has a kick ass body, compared to other grand prixs....it has a 3.4 V6, very fast accl. and can beat a GTX eclipse....the one thing i dont like about it is that the door handles are notrious for breaking, and they are spending to replace...it cost about the same to take off the door handles and do door popers rather than do door handles...also it was very hard and dificult to change the CD player, and the 6x9 rear deck speekers....it has a massive trunk space also. and the exhaust is just to amazing for being fully stock, stright back into one muffler that dules to two pipes, and trumpet exhaust tips, very loud at 2500 RPM's

Front wheel drive
A Great Car — Great Car. Excellent in the snow. Parts are cheap and easy to fix. Has plenty of power although overall weight is an issue.Added a trans cooler and upgraded radiator cause it tends to run real hot in the summer.Its fun to drive and has a unique front end specific to the grand prix of that year.

My Best Girlfriend — I've been to hell and back with this car...TWICE! I've owned it for 13 years and paid $13,000 for it when it was 1.5 years old with 40,000Kms on it. She has been more faithful to me than most people I have met in my life time.This V6 3.1 is BULLETPROOF! Never done any major work to it.It is now 15 years old with over 300,000Kms on it and it still has lots of go power and will give me about 460Kms to one 60 L tank of gas! It'll be a sad sad day when I say goodbye to her.

Looks, engine, handling, etc
broken cruise control
My First Car- '95 Pontiac Grand Prix — The grand prix is a pretty nice car and decently sporty....it had 116K miles on it when i bought it and the only major problem ive had is that the cruise control broke. Its engine has a suprising amount of power to it, its a 3.4 V6. Governed at 107 which is absolutely no fun! About 20 mpg so not great. nice acceleration, good brakes, easy handling. Overall its a very nice car and fun to drive.

Great all around performer good acceleration, good handling, looks good, and comfortable
reliability issues without proper regular maintenance
Great First Car And Would Eat Up A 5.0 Mustang — With the 3.4 L twin cam motor moves pretty well for when this car was built it was originally designed to have about 280 Hp but they didn't have a front drive trans to handle it so it was detuned to 215hp but the GTP was a great all around performing car with 4 wheel disc brakes and dual exhaust. Exterior styling wasn't forgotten with dual hood mounted heat extractors and a spoiler along with the side body mouldings and its comfortable too

inexpensive car with options
not a super fun car
It Gets You From Point A To Point B Affordably And Fairly Comfortably — eh what can you say about this car, a very average sedan for the year. It's a well built car overall but styling is bland, performance is what you would expect, gas mileage is about 22 or 23 around town. it's not a bad car, it get's the job done comfortably with a decent amount of options

Everything about it is awesome
Just the usual needed tune-ups, oil changes, and tires.
For Receiving An 11 Year Old Car It Sure Is Reliable. A Must Have Car!!!! — For a family car yet also considered somewhat a racing car, it is very comfortable and roomie. It's not the best on mileage, but the ride is smooth. I consider is a luxury car myself. I've never had any problems when I got my first one. It was 11 years old when I got it and had 140 k miles on it which I felt wasn't bad. It needed a few things, but thats what you get when you buy a used car. Usually when I get a car the transmission, exhaust, or something major like that is needed. I looked up my car and it had no replacement transmission, exhaust, etc... and when I had it looked at I was told it was in pretty good shape. Some cars are known for some minor gliches, but this one I haven't found one. It's a must have car!!!

Bellingham Travel Guide: 107 reviews and 155 photos
Bellingham can be a nice cheap town to live in if you play your cards right. Great location if you want a small town atmosphere, but you want access to big cities like Vancouver and Seattle. Visitors should go online and check out the WWU calendar for theater/music/art events on campus; the Bellingham Herald for downtown happenings; and What's Up Magazine for shows by local bands. VirtualTourist member LeoM is a great resource and local expert if you need more info/pics from Bellingham. I'm vegetarian so all my restaurant tips include places that are veggie friendly. Being that I no longer live in Bellingham, I can't guarantee that anything I've included in my guide is still valid. The city is still growing and changing. Bars are closing, but maybe new ones are opening.
- Pros:cheap living
- Cons:kinda boring to live here if you're in your 20's and not outdoorsy or into bars
- In a nutshell:a good place to settle down

Heavenly Ecstasy
Anmeldt av Matt Coe(SPV Records, 2011)
Karakter: 5.5/6
In earlier metal periods, the creative peak of a group would probably occur during the third or fourth album cycle of their career. It often takes your first two efforts to shed your influence skin and develop your thick coat of originality - and usually by album five artists are often stuck with broadening their horizons or the call for pumping out more of the same formula as fair-weather fans flock to a new trend. Progressive metal I believe is the one genre where musicians may need an extra record or a few years to solidify their vision and gather the best following in the process.
Pagan's Mind started their breakthrough with their third album in 2005 "Enigmatic: Calling", attracting the attention of promoters far and wide as they took an American-like technical approach a la Dream Theater and began to inject their European melodies and songwriting smoothness to manufacture their own style. 2007's "God's Equation" permanently squashed any more 'clone' comparisons for good with their heavier tones and their left field "Hallo Spaceboy" David Bowie cover choice - so a four year wait between albums leaves my expectations quite high for "Heavenly Ecstasy" to give Pagan's Mind the launching pad for upper tier veteran status.
After a short "Contact" intro, "Eyes Of Fire" navigates with that confident Queensryche-like charm, the piano and keyboard work having more of a dark atmosphere to counter attack the otherwise uplifting melodies and rhythms. "Intermission" rises as one of Pagan's Mind's best tracks to date, be it the peaks and valleys with the quieter bridge work or the fluid guitar work from Jørn Viggo Lofstad where he employs vigorous tapping techniques for the main solo and then punctuates the ending moments with a harmony solo that reverberates within my memory bank for weeks on end. As the rest of the eight remaining songs take over your listening device of choice, the five musicians remain steadfast in not beating their abilities into sonic excess - the forward thinking comes in with spurts of flurry, such as the "Operation: Mindcrime" era like "Walk Away In Silence" or the stair step rhythm riff manoeuvring against the Stian Kristoffersen drum mastery on the outstanding closer "Never Walk Alone".
Nils K. Rue has all of the tools a progressive metal vocalist needs in modern music: tenderness, conviction, personality, and the multi-octave range to pull it all together without overstepping any boundaries. I don't think he really sounds like any one known singer in particular, as his style is an amalgamation of Geoff Tate, Daniel Heiman and a touch of Michael Kiske. For all sides of the vocal coin, check out the 8:32 "Revelation To The End" as proof of the man's stellar talent.
The longtime followers will get this instantly - but this message is for the casual observer who believes no one can top the triumvirate of progressive metal acts : Dream Theater, Fates Warning, and Queensryche. Pagan's Mind prove time and again not everything has truly been accomplished in progressive metal, and they do deserve a shot as kingpins in the genre based on their collective discography.

… somewhere, in the ancient cellars of Prague, there is hidden indeed "infernal" power. Yet it is the very power of celestial stars themselves. Calmly dormant, awaiting mankind to discover the magic key, to use this power for their benefit…
Tokamak GOLEM just in action (see "blue" plasma in the chamber through the glass port)
The demand for new energyAs one observes increasing demands of humankind for energy, importance of seeking new energetical resources becomes more and more evident. Current major strategy of power plants to heat the water, thus producing the steam to power turbine to generate electricity stands the principal question what to burn. The inspiration from the nature, that comes from within the cores of the stars, gives rise to idea to create and maintain something like a small star inside the reactor, where light nucleas fuse into hevier ones releasing thermal energy. It is a unique challenge for human being to harness the star's energy in the cerestial conditions managing extremely sophisticated physics and technology issues. The decision to build up the international experimental reactor ITER triggered the demand for new generation of scientists and technologist, that can cope with such an objection. The education in the field of the thermonuclear fusion suffers from having a good experimental background since the relevant experiments are extremely sophisticated and expencive.
Tokamak TechnologyThe tokamak (see Fig. link) is a device where in its simplest possible description it is necessary to heat the fuel /deuterium-tritium mixture/ to the plasma state up to 100 milions centigrades while securing the insulation of such a hot media from the reactor vessel. Both requirements are reached providing a very special configuration of electric and magnetic fields applied on the toroidal geometry of the reactor.
Tokamak GOLEMThe tokamak Golem (see Fig. link) is a continuation of unique history of the tokamak TM1, build in the 60's at the Kurchatov institute near Moscow, then doing scientific work at the Institute of plasma physics in Prague and finally, after transportation to the Czech technical university, starting it's 3rd era as the educational device - thus being the oldest tokamak still in operation in the World. After complete reconstruction of its infrastructure using modern IT techniques it began to serve as a tool for students to get acquinted with the basic principles of tokamak physics, technology and operation. This facility is offered to the FUSENET (the 7th FWP European Fusion Education Network) as a practica experiment for students of the university on-site as well as for foreign students remotely.
