Energy and Emissions Data
Reports from China Suggest Low-Carbon Shift in 2014Posted by Geoffrey Henderson on Mar 13, 2015
Drawing on preliminary energy demand data from China's National Bureau of Statistics, Bloomberg New Energy Finance has estimated that China's carbon dioxide emissions fell by 2 percent last year, the first reduction in over a decade. Other reports indicate China's coal consumption also declined, by 2.9 percent, in 2014; and the share of non-fossil energy in China's energy consumption rose last year, while coal fell as a percentage of the country's energy mix. According to the International Energy Agency, even as the global economy grew by 3%, global energy-related carbon emissions did not rise in 2014, due to shifts in energy use in China and OECD countries.

Taking Stronger Action on Climate Change: China and the United StatesPosted by Paul Joffe and Geoffrey Henderson on Nov 26, 2014
Key Questions:
- Q: What did the U.S. and China pledge in their November 11, 2014 joint announcement on climate change?
- Q: Is it true that under its new pledges, China might avoid doing anything to address climate change until 2030?
A: No. China will need to take stronger near-term action to meet its commitments and has begun to do so.
- Q: Is China starting from scratch in trying to fulfill its pledges, or has it already taken steps in this direction?
A: China is already taking action on multiple fronts to address the climate problem.
- Q: Do we have reason to believe that China will follow through on its pledges?
A: Yes. China has already made progress on the low carbon building blocks and has strong reasons of national interest to build on its current efforts.
- Q: Does it make sense for the U.S. to pursue vigorous action on climate change given China's commitments?
A: Yes. China is now at a turning point regarding air quality and climate action, and the two countries can inspire each other and the world to take ambitious steps.
US and China Strike Deal on Climate Change -- "Now You're Talking"Posted by Paul Joffe on Nov 13, 2014
This post originally appeared on WRI's Insights blog:
The American expression "now you're talking," actually means "now you're getting real." Getting real on steps to confront climate change means moving from talking to action—big action.
And that's the signal out of Beijing from yesterday's summit between President Obama and President Xi Jinping. President Obama pledged to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. President Xi announced targets to peak carbon dioxide emissions around 2030—with the intention to peak sooner—and to increase China's non-fossil fuel share of energy to around 20 percent by 2030. Next steps will be important, but this accord signals a significant move forward for climate action—in the United States, in China, and internationally.

China's "New Long March" through the UN Climate Summit: Context and OpportunitiesPosted by Nathaniel Aden on Sep 22, 2014
This post originally appeared on WRI's Insights blog:
The Long March was a watershed moment in Chinese history—the moment Mao Zedong's nascent Communist Party escaped disaster in 1934 en route to forming a new nation. Fast forward 80 years, and China is poised to embark on a new Long March – but this time away from climate change and environmental damage toward a sustainable future.

Jazz Salutes Its Disc Jockeys
Originally published on Fri April 19, 2013 3:42 pm
The advent of bebop added a fresh sound to American music. It also added new voices to some metropolitan radio stations: the late-night jazz DJs who specialized in presenting this new music to their fellow hipster nightflies.
To recognize the work of the groundbreaking DJs who lent them critical exposure, jazz musicians of the period would occasionally write songs in their honor. Here are five of those songs.

Iran and international nuclear inspectors failed to reach agreement on starting a probe into Iran's alleged nuclear weapons programme, a senior International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) official said on Wednesday after talks between the two sides.
"We must recognize that our best efforts have not been successful so far," IAEA chief nuclear inspector Herman Nackaerts said in Vienna after the tenth round of negotiations since early 2012.
Iran's IAEA envoy Ali Asghar Soltanieh said the discussions on an agreement that would allow access to Iranian nuclear sites, documents and officials were "constructive and intensive." He added that "the aim of all these elaborations is to bridge the gap towards the conclusion of the text by the next meeting." Mr. Nackaerts and Mr. Soltanieh said they wanted talks to continue, but no date for a new round was agreed.
While Iranian nuclear officials talked in Vienna, Tehran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeid Jalili was in Istanbul to meet EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to prepare the ground for the next full round of talks with the permanent UN Security Council members China, Britain, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany.
Iran would not change its nuclear stance after the June presidential election, Mr. Jalili warned the so—called P5+1 group ahead of his evening meeting with Ashton.
The nuclear programme is a national matter and, therefore, stands above party politics, Mr. Jalili said, stressing that his country has the right to use civilian nuclear technology.
The group of six has been trying to pressure Tehran to stop enriching uranium, fearing that this know-how might be used to make nuclear weapons fuel. Iran says it is making reactor fuel, not nuclear arms.
US Undersecretary for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman said at the Senate on Wednesday that the P5+1 were still waiting for signs that Tehran would seriously address a new offer of easing of some sanctions in return for an enrichment stop, which was presented at talks in Almaty in February.
"We are not interested in talks for talks' sake, but we must give diplomacy every chance to succeed," she told the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee.
Neither the IAEA nor the six—country group have made progress in negotiations with Iran this or last year. Diplomats had said they had not expected progress this week.
They also noted that Mr. Jalili is a presidential candidate and was unlikely to continue in his current role after the June 14 election.

Bescom to launch safety awareness drive from June 1
An action plan to prevent electrocution, which was prepared about six months ago, is yet to be fully implemented by the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom).
The plan was prepared in consultation with Power Research and Development Consultants, a private agency, after the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) rapped the power utility following the electrocution of an eight -year-old girl in Vijayanagar, when she came in contact with the live wire, around two years ago.
A survey, conducted as part of the action plan, identified 124 sensitive and dangerous installations where old conductors would be replaced with insulated ones, mostly in public places — crowded market places, slums and places of worship.
On the delay in implementing the plan, Bescom Managing Director P. Manivannan said though the utility proposed to float a tender for insulated cables and conductors at a cost of Rs. 360 crore, the government approved only Rs. 90 crore. "While we had floated the tender, the KERC sought a comprehensive plan for the city following which the action plan was prepared in consultation with the private agency." The replacement of these conductors is likely to help bring down electricity-related accidents. "We did not want to take up replacement work during summer, as replacing each conductor will take a minimum of six hours. We will take it up after the monsoon season ends," he said and added that some conductors had been replaced.
No perceptible change
According to a senior Bescom official, with the utility stressing on safety, the number of electrical accidents involving its staff had come down drastically.
However, there has been "no perceptible increase or decrease" in the number of accidents involving citizens, the official added. To ensure that this number comes down, Bescom has planned to up an awareness drive from June 1. "As part of the awareness drive, the utility has already booked 30 hoardings across the city for an entire year. Safety messages will be put up on them."
The awareness drive that is being taken up at a cost of Rs. 3.5 crore was to have been taken up from April 1, 2013. However, with the model code of conduct in place ahead of the Assembly elections, Bescom was not able to take up the drive.

- Kelefa Sanneh of The New Yorker takes a look at "Country Music's Taylor Swift Problem" now that the singer-songwriter has officially gone pop with her freakishly catchy new single: In a mix-and-match culture, it's refreshing, and somewhat miraculous, that country music still exists as a genre and a radio format and a culture, able to nurture a promising teen-aged singer-songwriter with a knack for impossibly memorable love songs. A country music that can do that might also be a country music strong enough, and stubborn enough, to hear a surefire hit from one of the biggest pop stars in the world and tell her goodbye, for now.

- Justin Townes Earle to TheFader.com: If you say "I play country music," you have to follow it up with real country music and whoo-whoo and all this shit. I made The Good Life. I went out on the road, and I did not like what I was saying. I'm never going to make two records the same. I haven't yet, and I'm going to continue to change them. My first honky-tonk band was put together about six months before I made The Good Life. That was an "I want to do this" record. After I saw where that was taking me, it was not the direction I wanted to go in. I didn't want that fan base. I didn't want to play the Grand Ole Opry. I did once and I don't want to ever again. Country is a very narrow thought. There's no room to branch out on it. I'm a serious classic honky-tonk fan, and I believe you shouldn't do anything to it. I moved into a more experimental mode of combining all the kinds of music I like into something a little more neutral.

THREE new albums from Sturgill next year?! I'm excited for that!
I'm a little surprised to hear of Shelby Lynne signing with another label, even if it is Rounder. She had released her last few on her own Everso label. From watching a few interviews of her, that seemed to suit her. I would guiess that this wasn't an easy decision.
I'm not surprised.
Artists who can't get seem to get a satisfactory deal with a commercial label always say how much happier they are to be on their own label, where they can make the music they want, etc. But it usually strikes me as deliberate spin or self-delusion. (Remember Clint Black??)
Maybe now, in the digital delivery age, it should be different, but an artist like Lynn has to be better off having a real label behind her.
Does anyone know whatever became of the album that Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer were going to do together?
Not impressed by Justin Townes Earle's low view of country music.
Someone should do a feature on the current "next generation" sons-of-superstar country artists–Hank III, Shooter Jennings, Bobby Bare Jr., Dean Miller, Justin Earle, Lukas Nelson I don't know if there's some sort of common thread here.
I was disappointed to read JTE's take on country music too. I agree with the part about current country music, but it seems that he's hating on country music in general and if he isn't, he didn't do a good job of clarifying otherwise. I had a hard time with his harsh words regarding the Grand Ole Opry too. And his first album is my favorite of his, so it's too bad he's kind of disavowing it now, but I suppose that's somewhat common of artists.
Well, he says he's a classic honky tonk fan and apparently "had to" make a honky tonk album, but then didn't want a fan base made up of honky tonk fans? Not sure about this "country is a narrow thought" idea, especially if you're not a mainstream artist. Case in point: Jim Lauderdale.
Yeah, I had a few problems with that JTE interview. He hated on The Opry, country music, his first album, country music fans (including honky tonk fans) and Nashville. It seemed like for a guy who has his own deamons, he thinks of himself as a pretty marally superior guy. For him to say that it's bogus that it's hard to stay sober on the road seems ridiculous, since he's fallen off the wagon himself. I applaud him for getting clean, but he really doesn't seem to have much compassion for others. At least it doesn't come across that way in the interview.
A new album from Hot RIze is always a good thing
Enjoyed the Pat Green & Lyle Lovett duet. More please !
Even though I do not follow JTE, can't say I personally disagree with his comments.
I think he generalized way too much, too black and white. He reminded me too much of Ryan Adams, who also seems like a jerk in interviews.
I would have to say that, even though I agree that JTE does generalize about country music excessively, I also have to agree with what he implies, which is that present-day Music Row does not present the widest variety of country music that it possibly can; and in many ways, it hasn't done so for years.
When just about all you can hear on country radio is this icky bro-country junk, which is really bad Southern rock with "hick-hop" accents and white-boy misogyny towards women, it seems to me it isn't too terribly hard to generalize.
Yes, if he had said that, I'd be with him, but e lumped all of country music, including the Grand Ole Opry and honky tonk music, in his statements. That's what I have a problem with. There may be some things that I don't like about the choices of the Grand Ole Opry these days, but there's still a lot to celebrate there and I have a problem with an artist who will be so openly disrespectful toward it. There's still a lot of great music and moments happening there.

NCT: LETTERS, Sept. 23, 2008
What remains difficult to understand is how McCain has reached the age of 72, raised two families and worked in D.C. for more than 25 years without learning something about economics. And why, with all those smart lobbyists running his campaign, no one thought to teach him a few basics before he got this far down the long campaign trail. But we're supposed to believe he'll somehow learn between now and January 2009.

Majority still rules, right?
Of all the other stupid things they put up for us to vote on, why not prayer in schools? Majority still rules, right? This nation was built around the belief in God. Did anyone read that article from down under? In short, it said, "You also have the right to leave if you don't like our ways." The ones who come here all come to change our way of life. Go back to where you came from.

The Ohio Association of County Boards recently announced the Board of Trustees for 2014. Their peers at the Annual Delegate Assembly in Columbus elect the Trustees during the Annual Convention.
Scioto County Board of Developmental Disabilities Board Vice President Mike Thoroughman was elected and began his term as an OACB Board Trustee on January 1. He, along with 12 others from across the state, will serve as delegates to represent their areas on varying decisions and interests involving programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
"If I can make a difference and be a voice for our region, that is what is most important," said Thoroughman of his election to serve as a Trustee. "We have such vibrant programs here in Scioto County and there are more connections that can be made to increase that vibrancy for those we serve."
Thoroughman is serving his second of a two-year term as the At-Large Middle Third Trustee for the OACB.
"I feel I have played an integral role in increasing financial stability and implementing strategic planning at Scioto DD," Thoroughman commented, "I believe there is much to be accomplished in the future and I want to be a part of that not only on the local level, but also as a representative for SCBDD at the state level. I am confident that as we move toward the future, a strong voice will not only serve as a push to alleviate funding issues, but also maintain a significance of our services throughout the state."
Thoroughman served as a school principal at Greenup County High School for 19 years. His passion for working the developmental disability world grew out of a personal connection. His grandson was diagnosed with autism.
"I want to provide a voice and utilize my diverse background and training to benefit those with developmental disabilities," he said. "It is my ambition to incorporate past skills as well as offer new outlooks for the state." Thoroughman said.
For more information on opportunities available for individuals with developmental disabilities, visit us on the web at www.sciotodd.org, like us on Facebook at Scioto County Board of DD or follow us on Twitter @SciotoDD.

Callaway® Solaire Women's 9-Piece Golf Set
Item #811837
Years of extensive research with women golfers led us to develop an Energy Efficient Design approach that optimizes every element of a golf club to maximize the performance of a woman's swing. This is our most forgiving set of clubs for women with longer, straighter distance, higher ball flights and better accuracy from every point on the course.
Set Includes:
- One all-titanium driver
- One stainless steel fairway wood
- One hybrid
- Two irons
- Two wedges
- Putter
- Versatile cart bag
Every club in the set is configured to be energy efficient and easy to swing so golfers can generate more power to play with confidence. Each fairway wood and hybrid has a clubface designed with a flat roll radius, which produces a higher launch angle on shots hit low on the face for increased distance.
Designed For Women
Callaway's R&D team studied a wide range of women's swings to design clubs with lengths, weights and lofts that are ideally suited to give women more distance, better accuracy and unprecedented forgiveness. The increased hosel offset also helps to square the clubface at impact while providing a look at address that boosts confidence.
Complete Course Coverage
This all-in-one set is designed to give women everything they need to go from the shop straight to the course. The clubs are engineered to provide ideal distance coverage and high ball flights out of a variety of lies so women feel confident they have the right club for the next shot.
- Energy Efficient Design generates more power and faster swing speeds.
- Clubs designed specifically for women with more distance, better accuracy and unprecedented forgiveness.
- All-in-one set let women feel confident that they have the right club for the next shot.

Managing Marginal Soils for Sustainable Growth of Oil Palms in the TropicsS. Paramananthan
There are a number of problematic soils in the Tropics. They are soils on steep terrain, soils of the dry regions,highly weathered soils, lateritic soils, acid sulfate soils, saline soils, sandy soils, organic soils and soils after specific land use change.
This paper discusses the various problems that each of these groups of soils have and the various management practices that can be taken to overcome these problems so that they can produce oil palms on a sustainable basis. Each of these problem soil groups have their own limitations, some of which are difficult or costly to overcome. Sometimes oil palm may not be the best crop for the area. However, economic and labour considerations will determine the final decision.

31 year old man | Rock Hill, SC, USA | Seeking women 21-28 within 50 miles
Do me a favor, hit that wink button. Yeah, right over there, that's the spot!
So I'm a busy guy living in South Charlotte area close to South Park. I work full time and am currently in school. I've always had a knack for working with computers, after dragging my feet for a few years, and due to some ridiculous timing of events in my life - it was time I actually get some certifications in working with them. So here I am, just trying to keep busy and advance in what I need to be doing. Oh and if things weren't busy enough, I run a side business - extra income never hurt a soul! So what do I do for kicks? I feel I tend to be more of a indoors person on my free time, but I won't hesitate to do some fun outdoor activites. Anything from taking a walk in a new park or around pretty scenery I come across to camping, boating, all that good stuff. Cruising around town checking out random things can make for a fun and interesting time. Outdoor sports are good too, anything from football, volleyball, baseball - whatever works for me. When it comes to indoor activites, catching a good movie is always good, along with watching my favorite sports teams as well. I like to go out to clubs/bars sometimes (don't overdo it) and lately discovered I'm a pretty good dancer too. Also, I'll hop on the web sometimes and get lost in some interesting article or crazy website. It's too costly to eat out all the time so I've taken up cooking, and like to do it most nights out of the week. I can make a mean quesadilla and a handful of other meals, always fun to try out cooking something new, as long as it doesn't end up a mess! Yeah, cooking at home is cheaper, and you should save money somewhere with gas being a gajillion bucks a gallon these days. So I'm a busy guy, but I'd still like to meet a nice gal, even a busy gal - to be fair :P My standards posted below probably proclaim me to be not picky at all, but I think that in honesty I probably am a bit more picky than the record shows. I'm looking for someone cool and perfect who is really rich. Haha, just messing, had to throw in a pseudo shallow statement to kick it up a notch! Back to the honesty piece, I really think it's hard to say what I'm truly looking for. Probably just like most, someone I really click with and just that certain person that catches my eye, not only that but my mind with their intriguing self! Is that cliche? Maybe, but then again I think not. You be the judge, does it sound too boring and cliche for you? Then run, run away. Otherwise stick around, it might just be worth your time!

I like to hit the bars, a mellow place that is chill but isn't completely dead is the best, not one where it takes 15 mins to get a drink and hit the bathroom or to even hear. Clubs are fun. I like trying out new restaraunts randomly.
Favorite thing to do when it rains? sit outside and just soak it in (well listen to it, not get soaked). Big on Family guy and scrubs, any music is great... cept for country, just aint my thing. I love cooking/eating a nice steak off the grill.
Random fun is good since my life is so scheduled right now. Allright enough ramblin, I like to get out here and there and have good night on the town dancin playin pool. I can stay in and do a movie or gamin, watching football, & just acting a fool
Haven't picked up a book in a while, just the newspaper a handful of times every week. I have nothing against books, they just don't make their way to me often, at least lately!

With Wind Wizard, Siobhan Roberts brings us the story of Alan Davenport (1932-2009), the father of modern wind engineering, who investigated how wind navigates the obstacle course of the earth's natural and built environments--and how, when not properly heeded, wind causes buildings and bridges to teeter unduly, sway with abandon, and even collapse.
In 1964, Davenport received a confidential telephone call from two engineers requesting tests on a pair of towers that promised to be the tallest in the world. His resulting wind studies on New York's World Trade Center advanced the art and science of wind engineering with one pioneering innovation after another. Establishing the first dedicated "boundary layer" wind tunnel laboratory for civil engineering structures, Davenport enabled the study of the atmospheric region from the earth's surface to three thousand feet, where the air churns with turbulent eddies, the average wind speed increasing with height. The boundary layer wind tunnel mimics these windy marbled striations in order to test models of buildings and bridges that inevitably face the wind when built. Over the years, Davenport's revolutionary lab investigated and improved the wind-worthiness of the world's greatest structures, including the Sears Tower, the John Hancock Tower, Shanghai's World Financial Center, the CN Tower, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, the Sunshine Skyway, and the proposed crossing for the Strait of Messina, linking Sicily with mainland Italy.
Chronicling Davenport's innovations by analyzing select projects, this popular-science book gives an illuminating behind-the-scenes view into the practice of wind engineering, and insight into Davenport's steadfast belief that there is neither a structure too tall nor too long, as long as it is supported by sound wind science.

Cubix (Korean: 큐빅스; retitled 로보짱 큐빅스 for the KBS broadcast; subtitled Robots for Everyone in the United States) is a South Korean animated television series created by Cinepix. 4Kids Entertainment acquired the rights for an English adaption dub to the series in 2001, retaining them until their transfer to Saban Brands (a subsidiary of Saban Capital Group) in June 2012. Saban Brands currently owns and manages the copyright and branding of the English adaption of the series.
Cubix was created by the Korean company called Cinepix and licensed by 4Kids Entertainment in North America, and aired for two seasons during the Kids' WB! children's block on The WB, lasting from August 11, 2001 to April 26, 2003. To help provide their affiliates a half-hour of educational and informational programming credit, the series was later re-broadcast on FoxBox (owned by 4Kids Entertainment, later renamed 4KidsTV) from August 30, 2003 to June 12, 2004. The show remained off the air until July 24, 2010, when it resurfaced on 4Kids' then-current block The CW4Kids (later renamed Toonzai) on The CW. In 2012, the license for Cubix was purchased by Saban Brands and aired on the Vortexx block, but was removed from the block after four weeks on September 22, 2012 and replaced with another episode of Rescue Heroes. Since September 2007, the show has been streaming online, being uploaded in its entire as of early 2008, first on the now-defunct 4Kids.TV website and now on Hulu.
Both seasons were broadcast in the UK on Cartoon Network UK.[citation needed] As of May 2010, the series is airing in the UK on kids' TV channel Pop.
The show has been the theme of three video games: Showdown, Clash 'n' Bash, and Race 'n' Robots.
Plot and setting[edit]
Cubix, set in the year 2044, is the story of a bright-eyed young boy named Connor with a deep fascination for robots. His father, Graham, who dislikes all robots, has never truly been supportive of Connor. As a surprise to his son, he purchases them a home and a small doughnut shop in the robot center of the world, Bubble Town, location of the RobixCorp headquarters. In this town, robots even outnumber people. The reason for RobixCorp's success is the EPU (Emotional Processing Unit), allowing robots to develop their own unique personality, just like a human being.
Now that Connor's dream has finally come true, he finds himself with one great dilemma: everyone in Bubble Town owns a robot, that is, except him. Shortly after his arrival, he meets his nosy neighbor Abby who sends her little flying pet robot, Dondon, to spy on him and his dad. Graham, not being so fond of robots, conks Dondon over the head, knocking him out. A worried Abby, along with Connor, hop onto her hover scooter, rushing for the one place in town that can fix her friend: the Botties Pit. Operated by Hela, daughter of the famed inventor of the EPU and founder of RobixCorp, Professor Nemo, who has a special club for kids who can fix robots called 'The Botties', but to join, there's a test: you have to fix a robot in less than 24 hours. It is said that her father mysteriously vanished after an experiment with the highly volatile substance known as Solex. The members of the club include: Chip, his robot Cerebrix, Mong and Maximix, along with Abby and Dondon. Of all the robots he could have chosen to fix, Connor picks Cubix, a one-of-a-kind test model for the very first EPU. Unfortunately, they all called Cubix the 'Unfixable Robot' because at one time or another, they had all tried to repair him, especially Hela, who could never quite throw him out.
After a sudden attack by Dr. K, an old colleague of Professor Nemo, who runs off with a stolen robot, the Botties' pit begins to crumble. But because of Connor's talent and thoughts projected into Cubix's EPU, he is brought back to life. Cubix then saves Connor from the collapse, proving that Connor could even fix the 'Unfixable Robot'.
That wasn't the only surprise Cubix had in store; with his amazing design he can reconfigure and transform into virtually anything.
Along with their new friends, Connor and Cubix face up against Dr. K to take back the kidnapped bot.
This series follows the adventures and discoveries of the Botties gang, and their unraveling of Dr. K.'s crooked scheme along with the disappearance of Professor Nemo.
Solex was said to have been discovered after an alien spacecraft crashed outside of RobixCorp, shortly before Prof. Nemo's disappearance. It has two forms: the glowing electric blue liquid form prone to random energy fluctuations and the second, more stable crystallized form used in most robots. The story suggests that it has a psychic nature as it reacts to sentient thoughts and emotions, even those of robot's EPUs. Solex in both liquid and crystallized form is capable of producing immense power. Its "radioactive" glow (in crystallized form) is similar to pure isolated radium.
Solex in the 1st series[edit]
In the first season, Dr. K collects Solex from infected robots to utilize in his ultimate plan with the aid of the Alien, who uses the alter ego of Raska, the RobixCorp spokes model. It is suspected that the Solex was originally discovered by Professor Nemo but fearing the misuse of its power, separated the liquid Solex into small doses, placing them in random robots (or that the explosion in his lab the day he disappeared caused the Solex he was experimenting with to be transferred into the robots that were in his lab at the time).
The liquid Solex, however, produces unexpected effects in robots; this is referred to as Solex infection. As the EPU is placed under heavy stress or emotions, the uncontrollable energy reaction of the liquid Solex causes them to malfunction and go berserk. Besides the behavioral malfunction, the infected robot also gains extreme power far beyond its normal capabilities. However, this extreme power could overload the host and cause self-destruction unless liquid Solex is removed, the robot is deactivated or the Solex energy returns to normal.
The titular Cubix is a one of a kind robot built before Professor Nemo's disappearance, who is found deactivated with no visible damage, but no way to reactivate him either. He is introduced as part of Connor's initiation ceremony as the robot he chooses to fix. However, he cannot get Cubix to work until Dr. K appears to retrieve Solex from a robot. Connor brings Cubix back to life, just as the building they are in starts to crumble. His body is made out of a number of cubes, giving him a versatile modular function- by restructuring himself and using various gadgets within the cubes, he can transform into a hover bike, an airplane, a helicopter and plenty more. He can even fly without the need to transform into a vehicle. Hidden in each cube there is a different gadget with a solution to almost every dire situation. When it comes to fighting, Cubix is exceptionally strong, but often relies on his transformational ability and unorthodox strategies to win. He is powered by a generator that runs off crystallized Solex, which is rumored to be the ultimate power source, but nobody knows exactly how it works. Cubix's body is also constructed out of a highly resistant metal that is capable of withstanding devastating amounts of damage without breaking. He also has additional parts that when added to his structure can increase his strength.
Cubix is a friendly and helpful robot, but lacks speech capability, while speaking seems to be common place among other robots. Usually he just repeats what people around him say, and uses the LED display where his eyes usually are to communicate emotions. However, later in the series this improves greatly and he becomes capable of forming sentences and dialogues, and once he regains the crystallized Solex at the finale, he regains the capacity for independent speech. Voiced by Scottie Ray.
Connor: The main human character of the series, Connor is obsessed with robots. He moved to Bubble Town, and soon after joined the 'Botties' by fixing the 'Unfixable Robot', Cubix. Perpetually optimistic, yet kind of a hard head, he resents his dad for never answering questions about his late mother. He's best friends with Abby, as they often play 'virtual battle' video games at her house. Him and the Botties hang out at his dad's doughnut shop and Hela's repair shop, the Botties' Pitt. Voiced by Andrew Rannells.
Abby: Connor's neighbor, best human friend, and fellow robot-lover, Abby was the first person to show Connor around Bubble Town. She has orange hair with two ponytails, hazel eyes, wears a pink and violet shirt, violet pants, and white shoes. She seems to always expose her belly for a reason. She's a member of the Botties and her pet robot, Dondon, has been her best friend since she was 6 years old. She's a little impatient and a bit of a procrastinator but she has a sweet compassionate side. Abby loves robots and looks up to Hela almost like a big sister, and secretly wishes to be just like her someday. She can often be found in her room studying robot repair manuals. Voiced by Veronica Taylor.
Chip: He may be short but at only 10, he's probably the smartest of the Botties. He knows practically everything about robots. At times he can be a know-it-all who only sees things his way. He's actually very insecure about his height and can come across as awkward or nervous. His robot, Cerebrix is a specialized calculation model. He's best friends with Mong. Voiced by Amy Birnbaum.
Mong: The taller and chunkier member of the Botties, Mong loves snacks and making jokes that only he ends up laughing at. He seems dense but he's actually pretty inventive and has a big heart. Highly competitive and a bit prideful, he rushes headlong into things, sometimes ignoring the consequences. His robot is Maximix, originally a fitness trainer model. Mong converted him into a motor bike. He's best friends with Chip. Voiced by Jimmy Zoppi.
Hela Nemo: The daughter of Professor Nemo and the idol of Abby, she is the owner of the Botties Pit. Hela knows almost everything about robot repair. She's pretty even keeled, and is usually a source of advice and comfort to her young apprentices. Her robot team includes Diagnostix, Mr. Fixit, Ixpressive, and Attractix (named Kan-It). She also acts as a motherly figure to Connor and despite the arguments she has with his stubborn father it is joked about in the series that she likes him. Voiced by Rachael Lillis.
Dr. K: The main villain of the series, Dr. K used to work for RobixCorp, but lost his arm in a lab explosion and now as a rogue robot inventor who uses his smarts for evil. In Season 1 he's after a substance called Solex to build the ultimate robot and destroy Bubble Town. His main robot is Kolossal, but he has his own line of evil robots such as Katastrophe, Kannon, Krab, Klawber, the Kulminator and Kilobot. It is unclear what happened to Dr. K at the end of the series finale. Voiced by Maddie Blaustein.
Raska: Bubble Town's most famous celebrity, Raska is the spokes model for RobixCorp. Raska does not have any robots of her own besides the Cinematixes that film her. Near the end of the season it is revealed that Raska is the alien from the spaceship that crashed outside RobixCorp, and (using her human disguise) became a member of Prof. Nemo's team (most likely in order to retrieve the Solex). Raska and Dr. K are shown to be in some sort of alliance in order to acquire Solex for their own goals. For most of the season, Raska's true alien form is only seen on Dr. K's screen when communicating with him and is kept in complete silhouette. Her true from is fully shown in the final two episodes. She only appears in the first season since in the final episode of the first season she is killed when Dr.K's giant robot is destroyed by Cubix. Human: Voiced by Megan Hollingshead, Alien: Voiced by Eric Stuart.
Graham: Connor's dad, who owns and runs Bubble Town's most popular doughnut shop. He dislikes robots, especially the dysfunctional Waitrixes that work at his shop causing him continuous aggravation, yet he developed an exception for Cubix. He believes in good old manual labor and resents how robots have made people lazier over the years. He's a loving father, but has a hard time showing it. Sometimes he cannot quite express how he feels, particularly about his wife's death. This causes a bit of strain on his relationship with Connor. It is also hinted he has a crush on Hela. Voiced by Dan Green.
Taryn: Connor's late mother, who supposedly died when he was younger. Connor keeps a picture of her in his room as a memory.
Professor Nemo: The ultimate robotist, Professor Nemo was the one who built Cubix and invented the EPU. He disappeared in the aforementioned lab explosion caused by Solex, but was later found kidnapped by Dr. K. A giant sculpture of the Prof. stands in the grand hall of RobixCorp. He designed all of his robots with a yellow spiral. Also voiced by Dan Green.
Charles: A spoiled brat and the richest kid in town. Charles is the son of the Mayor and his family has important connections, so he gets all the latest models from RobixCorp. His favorite robot, Quixtreme 5000, is a rare pre-release model given to him as a special birthday gift, that will not be on the market for 10 years! Called Cheetah for short, he can transform into a cherry red Rolls Royce hover car, a cheetah, and an armored battling robot. This makes Charles think he can gain entry into the Botties. It is implied that he has a bit of a crush on Abby and is jealous of Connor. He often follows them around, showing off. Voiced by Ted Lewis.
Botties Robots[edit]
Maximix: Maximix is Mong's robot. Maximix has a unicycle propulsion instead of legs and is also capable of transforming into a Go-kart like vehicle to provide Mong with transportation. Although not as strong as Cubix or Kolossal, Maximix has proven himself to be a formidable opponent on several occasions. He can hold his own against Kolossal or any of Dr. K's robots. Thanks to his unicycle propulsion he can reach high speeds and is quite agile. His personality is similar to his master: hot headed, competitive and a little conceited, but always reliable. Maximix's voice is similar to that of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Voiced by Frank Frankson.
Dondon: Dondon is Abby's pet robot. Dondon is a personal interaction and entertainment robot, outfitted with hovering capabilities allowing him to flutter about for indefinite periods of time. So, although he has wings they are more decorative. Being small and defenseless, Dondon is not a fighter, although there are times when he has shown great courage in order to protect his friends. His features include a video telephone inside his chest cavity, secret recording devices, a camera, and a storage pouch. His yellow face also glows in the dark. His personality is very playful and imaginative- he sometimes pretends to be a secret agent for Abby, disguising himself with her jewelry and hair accessories. Though creative, Dondon is needy of Abby and can be quite bashful with strangers. Voiced by Tara Strong.
Cerebrix: Cerebrix is Chip's robot. Like his master, Cerebrix is more of a thought focused character rather than feeling. Bipedal, with no arms, he is equipped with advanced memory, sensory, computing and processing systems stored in his "large head". He can also fly by means of a retractable propeller stored in an upper compartment of his head. His main functions include a huge sensory array and he is also equipped with two antennae through which he can tap into almost any communication wavelength and cause disturbances, creating confusion in his foes. Also his advanced probability computing system is capable of determining the outcomes of events before they occur. His personality and speech are much more machine-like but what he has to say is usually very important. Voiced by Jimmy Zoppi.
Kan-it: Kan-It is a Polarix model, and the only bot not to be own by a Bottie. Kan-It has a passion for singing, and as such was nicknamed Kan-It because Dr. K, his original master, did not like it. Kan-It speaks in a stereotypical British accent, saying cockney phrases like "Governor" and "Blimey". Kan-It control's his magnetic power by saying Magnet On(Positive Charge), Magnet Off!(Neutral Charge), Reverse Polarity(Negative Charge). Kan-It currently resides at the Botties Pit, voiced by Terri Irwin's husband Steve Irwin.
Villainous Robots[edit]
Kilobot: First appearing in the second season, Kilobot is a vampiric robot that is far smarter than any of his cohorts. Dr. K describes him as his finest creation, developed to absorb data from other robots. Kilobot's name comes from the fact that he has the potential to copy the powers of up to 1000 other robots. As such, his power is potentially unlimited. Kilobot originally appeared in a bat-like form, but later upgraded to a bulkier body designed after Cubix's cubes. Kilobot is Cubix's new arch-enemy. In the series finale, he took control of Dr. K's robots and planned an ultimate takeover. However, he was permanently deactivated by his own Zombot.
Klank: Klank was one of Dr. K's first robots from when he was a child. Klank originally had no EPU, so when the botties found Klank in a disposal room at RobixCorp, they install one to help him adjust to the modern world. Klank's new emotions drive him to seek out Dr. K at an old abandoned house. Unlike Dr. K's other robots, Klank only appears in one episode.
Kolossal: A Frankenstein's monster-esque robot, Kolossal is the brute of Dr. K's forces. Not too intelligent and continuously relies on his master for orders but almost equal to Cubix in fighting ability, Kolossal serves as Cubix's nemesis in the early part of the show. Kolossal's equipped with various weapons but most importantly a detachable floating platform on his left shoulder where Dr. K. takes seat. Kolossal is big and strong, although bulky he is capable of limited flight and agile high jumps, his left hand is a sort of claw that can be launched to grab things from afar. Most of the time he uses only brute force to win. Without his master's continuous coordination however he can only complete basic tasks.
Kontraption: Dr. K's largest automaton, Kontraption serves as his blimp headquarters after his original base is destroyed. However, Kontraption can also turn into a large robot with great destructive capability.
Krab: Squat and crustacean-like, Krab has powerful claws and shoulders that contain a variety of weapons.
Katastrophe: A robot capable of splitting into two halves. Katastrophe's top half can fly, while the bottom rolls around on a wheel.
Kannon: An artillery robot developed by Dr. K, his body is an assembly of cannons.
Klawber: Menace of the skies, Klawber is a super-fast plane that flies through the air. Voiced by Frank Welker.
Kulminator: Dr. K's second most powerful robot (behind Kilobot). It was once Dr. K's HQ as a giant advertisement tower in an abandoned area of Bubble Town. After Dr. K had gathered enough Solex, he used it to create a humongous EPU which transformed his HQ into a giant four-legged robot. Dr. K piloted it on a course for Bubble Town with intentions to destroy it. The Botties (piloting Krab, Katastrophe, Klawber, and Kannon) attempted to stop it, but it was too big. The Alien then used the Kulminator's ultimate weapon, the Solex Blaster, to destroy Cubix, but he absorbed the energy and then fired a Solex blast of his own, knocking out the Kulminator's shields. Dr. K wanted to retreat, but the Alien was determined to continue, firing the Solex Blaster at everything while Dr. K abandoned ship. Cubix then flung himself into Kulminator, striking its EPU, destroying it and the Alien. It appeared in 'Cubix the Movie: The Search For Solex' and in season 1 Episode 13 'The Unbeatable Robot'.
Zombots: Dr. K's army of duplicating machines. When defeated, their parts can regenerate into new Zombots. In addition, they can evolve into larger, stronger versions of themselves, and transform other robots into Zombots with their attacks.

The quoted passages, culled mostly from intellectuals of color, reveal exquisite taste and gather classic accounts of what whiteness means. The best of "whiteness studies" appear in quotations from Toni Morrison, Adrian Piper, Cheryl Harris, and Noel Ignatiev, who starkly writes, "There is youth culture and drug culture and queer culture; but there is no 'white' culture unless you mean Wonder Bread and television game shows. Whiteness is nothing but an expression of race privilege."
We know far too little about the origins of passionate antiracism among whites, and Berger's frank autobiographical sections provide soaring insights. His own life shows that fiercely contradictory experiences can at times energize egalitarianism. During his childhood, living in a New York City housing project, Berger's mother, a dark woman of Sephardic Jewish background, suffered from both anti-Semitism and the suspicion that she was "colored." She hid her pain under a thick cake of white makeup and exulted when Dr. Martin Luther King died. Berger's father, a white-collar worker whose mental illness caused him to lose jobs, embraced liberal views on race. He cried alone when King was shot.
Berger himself shied away from white kids until college, when he was encouraged to cherish the privileges of race. White Lies brilliantly charts the decidedly nonlinear process through which intellectual work and everyday life taught him that the inhumanity involved in embracing those privileges carries too high a cost.
