Learning From The German Transition To Renewable Energy
by Julius Fischer
Germany is moving forward to replace fossil fuels with renewables faster than most countries. But there is always pushback, most recently in the form of much media discourse about rising electricity prices spearheaded by the Federal Minister of Environment Peter Altmaier. Like many politicians, he is already preparing for national elections in September, so let's take an honest look at this discourse surrounding electricity prices and how they affect Germany's move toward renewables.
Ever since the Fukushima catastrophe two years ago, Germans have redoubled their efforts to phase out of nuclear energy and fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy — called the "Energiewende" (energy transition) that began in 2000. Minister Altmaier, CDU (Christian Democratic Party — center-right) believes that the recent rise in electricity prices for households poses the biggest threat to the success of the Energiewende, because rising household electricity bills endanger public support for renewables. He thus proposed a plan to prevent an "explosion of electricity prices."
First of all: why care about what happens in Germany? For one thing, German policy-makers played a dominant role in the evolution of feed-in tariffs (FITs) for renewables (the term is actually an Anglicization of the German "Stromeinspeisungsgesetz"). FITs are the most elegant and effective policy instrument to incentivize renewable energy deployment in a cost-effective manner. Germany remains on the forefront of optimizing FITs to account for the differences in renewable technologies and decreasing market prices over time. Germany also has an impressive record of success in deploying renewable energy (especially solar), and set uniquely high targets of efficiency improvement and renewables deployment. Once we realize that the Energiewende is not a big government program by naïve tree-huggers, we can use the German example to help show that renewable energy can and does create jobs and lower costs.
The discourse surrounding the Energiewende has ranged from whether the grid expansion can keep up with renewable energy deployment, to whether the grid liability can be maintained (yes it can), and whether shutting down nuclear power in Germany will just result in imports of nuclear power from France or the Czech Republic (it hasn't). The current discourse raises the questions of whether household electricity consumers should pay less, whether industry should pay more, and whether the Energiewende can be done cheaper.
Should households pay less?
Minister Altmaier claims that rising electricity bills are the biggest barrier to the Energiewende because they undermine public approval. He aims to prevent future price increases by addressing the EEG Apportionment (EEG Umlage) that finances the feed-in tariff scheme. He therefore proposes the "Strompreisbremse" (electricity price emergency brake – this word has caught on surprisingly well in German media) to freeze the apportionment, claiming to thus prevent a 10% increases in electricity prices this fall.
The apportionment is a surcharge on the electricity price that (most) consumers pay to finance the FIT. The money collected from the apportionment is used to guarantee renewable energy producers a profitable price for 20 years — based on the costs of the particular renewable technology, regardless of the market price (this system is called Advanced Renewable Tariff). This Advanced Renewable Tariff system is the newest and most sophisticated version of FITs that incentivizes renewable energy deployment even at small scale. For example, in 2010, 51 percent of renewable energy capacity built under the FIT was owned by individuals and farmers, coining the term democratization of energy supply in Germany.
In fact, the apportionment in 2013 will only be 19 percent of an average household electricity bill, and was 3.5 percent of the energy bill in 2012. Meanwhile, the EEG Apportionment is only 1 of 6 other taxes and dues on electricity that together make up half of the electricity price – a situation Germans have accepted so far, despite a current electricity price of $0.37 per KWh – more than three times that of the US.
Should industry pay more?
The second part of Minister Altmaier's proposal concerns energy intensive industries that faces international competition. Currently, an exception rule (Ausgleichsregelung) largely frees such industries from paying the apportionment to prevent migration of these industries to other countries with lower costs. But the exception has become the norm: In 2013 49% of Germany's electricity will be consumed by industry that is required to pay only 1 percent or less of the reallocation charge. Thus Minister Altmaier wants to include fewer industries under this exception, generating €500 million to benefit the consumers. The SPD (Social Democratic Party — center-left) thinks this goes too far, while the Green Party wants this number to be €4 billion.
Can it be done cheaper?
Minister Altmaier claimed in an interview last month that Germany is on schedule to considerably exceed its 2010 renewable energy targets (for example 30 percent of primary energy and 50 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030). Therefore he emphasizes reducing costs over increasing deployment, stating that he doesn't want less wind turbines, he wants cheaper ones. He further claimed that the energy transition overall will cost Germany €1 trillion by the 2030s. Strong pushback on the calculations behind this number came from the NGO Green Budget Germany, criticizing that he did not include major benefits of renewables, such as avoided costs of fossil fuel imports and investment in fossil fuel power plants, avoided costs of environmental impacts, and reduced electricity prices through the merit order effect. Even his fellow party member Josef Göppel noted the €8 billion in fossil fuel imports Germany has been saving every year due to the Energiewende, which would ultimately save €1 trillion by the 2030s.
Of course there are many reasons why renewable energy policy is different in Germany compared to the U.S. Obviously Germany is only a quarter the size of the US in terms of population and smaller than Montana in terms of area. Historically, the German environmental movement is much more deeply rooted in the anti-nuclear movement of the 1960s, and the word Energiewende resonates with the German term "Wende" (turn) describing the social movement leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification afterwards.
But Germany struggles with the same set of issues as we do in the US: From the costs of expanding the electricity grid, to fighting fossil fuel interest groups, and keeping jobs in the face of international competition. We can learn from Germany by looking at the cost-benefit analyses that are calculated, the success of different policies like the Advanced Renewable Tariffs and their exception rules, and by looking at the media attention and push back renewables are dealing with. The issue of how to fairly distribute the investment costs of a renewable energy future will be interesting to follow as Germany heads for national elections this September.

A German energy transition costing 1 trillion euros by 2030s seems a good deal and even and a much better deal if it saves the same amount . . .
Even assuming no benefits… one trillion Euros divided by 81 million Germans over 17 years is 726€ per person per year. So about 2€/day, less than $2.50.
In some ways this goes back to the end of WWII. The Allies forced a multiparty democracy on Germany. This allowed third parties, in this case the Green Party, to gain a foothold in the Bundestag and to share real power in a coalition. The Green Party's demands weren't particularly revolutionary in a market economy — more wind and solar, start closing down the badly designed East German Communist-era nuclear plants and so on. So, larger parties found it easy to take them on as minor partners. The Green Party achieved a pretty much self-sufficient German energy economy, they stopped the country's hemorrhage of German marks to oil-rich countries and they drove German industry forward. Not bad for a bunch of protest kids. As the Green Party gets larger they become harder to lock out of ruling coalitions.
We have stupid centrist pro-business Democrats, cultlike business Republicans and a Green Party that has never been given charge of almost anything at any time, nor is it about to get any power at all at least in the near future.
I think it rather regretable that the article discusses German renewable energy without the necessary foundation of stating that it is renewable energy or civilizational collapse. Germany is either moving to renewables primarily to protect the environment conducive to our species' survival, or it is doing it for some other, mysterious, reason. It's akin to the position in Australia where our strange PM, Gillard, risked enormous political damage in the face of a villainous campaign by the Murdoch sewer, in alliance with Big Business, to introduce a 'carbon price', yet she never mentions climate destabilisation at all, leaving the field to the thriving denialist industry.
grid [re]liability.
Renewables or collapse? Hardly – it's renewables, then collapse. The Energiewende is increasing Germany's carbon output, and thus hastening the environment conducive to our species's demise.
Thankfully they're still hypocritical enough to import nuclear energy from France, or we'd have no chance at all.
If Germany had a carbon tax, the rate debate between renewables and fossils would be extremely brief.
The technology to provide grid reliability for renewables exists. That tech looks expensive only because the cost of ending civilization as we know it is not priced in to the do-nothing alternative.
That was a correction in word use, not a comment about the grid. Yes, we will work out how to integrate renewables, cause we have no choice.
Its not the Energiewende, its the rapid shutdown of the Nukes. Had Fukushima not precipitated a huge rush to shut them early, the carbon would be decreasing. As it is the Energiewende faces a stiff anti-nuclear headwind.
Germany has had a carbon tax since 1999: http://energytransition.de/2012/10/environmental-taxation/
Did you read the article? It clearly states that Germany is not importing more nuclear from France or anyone else. For the latest data, see: http://energytransition.de/2013/03/german-energy-transition-and-its-neighbors-part-4/
We never should have formed political parties. Madison warned against it in Federalist #10. Now, with "winner take all", and without an "instant runoff" mechanism it's come down to two powerful parties – one beholden to the rich and powerful, and the other one even more so – and a plethora of powerless, narrow interested also-rans. And we just can't do what so badly needs to be done.
One figure that needs to be mentioned, is the secretary of economy, Mr. Roesler from the FDP (This party is comparable to the Republicans, only without religion, homophobia, guns and venom).
Mr Roesler has a long term plan to abolish the EEG (renewable energy law). Whether his motives are ideological or lobby-oriented is unknown. But repeated propaganda about prices originates in his ministry, as well as some measures that added to the rising prices, like lowering the barriers for industry for not having to pay the EEG Apportionment. Before the limit was 10 GWh per year, now it is 2 GWh.
Add to that freeing big parts of the industry from the "Netzentgelt", which is the fee paid for using the power nets, and you arrive at a situation, where the industry prices for power sink, all the bigger consumers do not have to pay for the energy change, but you still get the "jobs jobs" argument. Plus the "prices are high" argument, by the people who ensured that prices rise in the first place.
Really devious. And you can be pretty sure, that the "Energiewende" in Germany is about to end.
Main mistakes: Fixed feed in tariff for solar installations, not connected dynamically to the amount of deployment.

Unfortunately you're still dishonest enough to post falsehoods.
Why does discussion of Germany's considerable progress in some areas always start out with a grand framework (Energy Transition is quite the all-encompassing phrase after all) and then silently detour into figures that concern electric power production?
The wind and solar stuff is very nice, and Germany's achievement there certainly outdoes the US, but the rubber really hits the road (heh) with oil.
What will happen to all that nice investment, and industrial economies generally, when world oil production drops a percent or 2 or 4 in a year? Are we making some nice progress in running mines, with their power equipment with the tires twice as tall as the guy driving it, on electricity? How about container ships? Anything else big and brawny? Didn't think so.
The electric power production is the easy part, as long as it takes place in the context of lots of fossil fuel burning. Can you build and install a honking big wind turbine without burning oil? No. Is anyone even making progress on that at a rate extrapolated to be successful before the oil is unavailable at a price low enough to keep the economic wheels turning? Not that I have heard.
Let's be open to good arguments, but let's at least discuss the central questions.
You raise some excellent points.
95% of everything we move from A to B gets moved with oil in our just-in-time-delivery economy. Supermarkets carry about 24-48 hrs worth of inventory. Yet people only talk about electrical power.
Transition to an electric transportation system would take decades. There is no way our oil supply will last that long.
It's a scary predicament.
Ric says Can you build and install a honking big wind turbine without burning oil? Yes. You can use surplus electricity to synthesis hydrocarbons or release hydrogen which can be use to fuel conventional engines. Factories don't need to burn oil.
I find it amazing that we in Europe have solutions to many of the renewable problems already implemented, yet in the major first world economy of the USA people are still displaying such an uninformed "Can't do " attitude.
Which is why the Chinese system is so much more rational and successful. One party of power, beholden only to itself and the population, not a rich moneyed elite. If you want to serve your country in government, you join the party of power, and rise according to your merits. You get gradually greater and greater responsibilities and prove yourself along the way. There is no vicious, destructive, oppositionalism, as we see currently in the USA and Australia, that defeats sensible, rational, policy. Policy is predicated on utilitarian, scientifically based parameters, not the need to repay debts to patrons. Of course the Chinese system still suffers from factionalism, but that's pretty near ineradicable amongst human beings. And the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Typical utopian fantasy.
Been reading too much science fiction lately?
More news and less Battle Star Galactica daydreams will help you avoid that next UF. [ Uninformed FAIL ]
1.31.13 –Audi to produce e-gas, its own synthetic fuel using wind, solar and captured CO2
Audi is constructing a huge synthetic natural gas plant in Germany that demonstrates its commitment to renewable energy just as it provides some valuable R&D to help prove e-gas is economically and environmentally possible. The 44,000-square-foot plant is in Werlite, a small town in northwestern Germany near the North Sea, 217 miles north of company headquarters in Ingolstadt, near Munich.
The goal is carbon-free fuel, and it sounds far from easy. Wind turbines generate electricity to manufacture hydrogen by electrolysis, which then is used, along with CO2 captured from the air, to produce methane. Audi calls it e-gas.. . .
That report neglects to mention the wind power they'll use to make fuel is the extra which currently plays havoc with other types of power generation systems on the grid. Rather than dumping the wind power into Czech or neighboring states (and causing them grid balance challenges), they will store it as 'green' fuel.
Nice one Bob, we're actually living in this "utopian fantasy". As someone with kids and grandchildren I have no problem with the USA allowing it's competitive advantage to waste away. YMMV.

NEW YORK -- Welcome to a special Championship Week edition of the Report Card -- live from the Big East Tournament. We're all eagerly awaiting Selection Sunday, and the start of the Big Dance next Thursday, but this Thursday was pretty exciting, as well -- especially for those of us inside Madison Square Garden.
With the expansion of the Big East, you can make the argument that this year's Big East Tournament is the best conference tourney ever. And Quarterfinal Thursday should be the best day of the tourney. It didn't disappoint. All four games were exciting. And the first one -- Syracuse beating UConn in overtime -- was the best game I've seen all season.
So, I decided to dish out some grades from a great day of college hoops in New York City.
When the final buzzer sounded, while most of his teammates mobbed each other at midcourt, all he could do was shake his head in exhaustion and disbelief. Less than a week ago, Gerry McNamara sounded somewhat resigned to the fact that his stellar Syracuse career very well could end in the NIT.
Thanks to two 3-point daggers, not anymore.
"I've been around great players and great teams, and there's no doubt we've struggled at times this year. [But] I'm more proud of this team with the way we came in here these last two games and won than any team I've played on," said McNamara after 'Cuse's 86-84 OT win over No. 1 Connecticut. "What we did today was pretty special."
By now, you must have seen McNamara's miraculous game-winning 3-ball against Cincinnati on Wednesday. And you probably heard Jim Boeheim's profanity-laced comments after that game, comments made in response to an article that called McNamara overrated. No one would dare make that argument now. On Thursday McNamara was magnificent, scoring 17 points and dishing out 13 assists, all with a sore groin -- and nailing another clutch trey that sent the game into OT.
Boeheim began his postgame remarks Thursday with an apology for his language Wednesday. But he offered even stronger praise for his star senior. "He's got more guts than anybody I've ever coached," Boeheim said.

McNamara has had a remarkable college career. Lost in all the attention heaped on Carmelo Anthony is the fact that his classmate, McNamara, was a huge part of Syracuse's national championship team -- including hitting six 3-pointers in the national title game. As a sophomore, McNamara connected on nine 3-pointers and tallied 43 points against BYU in an NCAA Tournament first-round game. He has been the heart and soul of the Orange for four years. There's a reason 33,633 people showed up for his final game at the Carrier Dome -- an NCAA on-campus record.
His junior season ended prematurely with a disappointing NCAA first-round loss to Vermont. And this year's team has underachieved, struggling to a 7-9 regular-season record in the Big East. Before this tournament, most people believed Syracuse would have its bubble burst on Selection Sunday. McNamara deserved a better finish. So he did something about it himself.
Now he gets to play at least one more game in New York. And at least one more game in the Big Dance.
And college hoops fans should be ecstatic about that.
Syracuse jumped out to a 10-0 lead against the Huskies. It held the lead for almost the entire 40 minutes of regulation, thanks in part to a savvy move by Jim Boeheim. Boeheim knows his team can't run up and down with UConn for 40 minutes -- no team can. So he went to a spread offense. His guards spent the early portion of the shot clock exchanging the ball on the perimeter, thereby taking time off the clock. But they still were able to create good shots when they attacked late in the shot clock -- whether off a pick and roll, a penetrate and kick, etc. Jim Calhoun lauded Boeheim for the move after the game. Boeheim said it was as well as his team has run its offense all season.
• Denham Brown (about his off-balance 3-pointer near the end of regulation): "You know, down a couple baskets. You know, shot it. Went in, you know."
|Check out ESPN.com's College Hoops index for everything you'd want to know about the game.
• Marcus Williams (about his missed shot to tie the score in OT): "The last shot, split the double-team. Had an open look. Just didn't fall."
• Hilton Armstrong (on what the difference was this time compared with UConn's two wins over Syracuse earlier this season): "I think they were a little tougher today than the other two games ... yeah, I guess."
Not exactly a reporter's dream. The UConn players looked very dejected after the game, even a little stunned. That's a good sign -- shows they care, even though the loss shouldn't cost them a No.1 seed. Both of UConn's national champion teams also won the Big East Tournament, but this loss will give the Huskies even more motivation to get to Indianapolis. And that's a scary thought.
That quote's from Villanova coach Jay Wright after his Wildcats ran over Rutgers in the second half Thursday night to win 87-55. The Wildcats watched UConn's loss to Syracuse at their hotel, and Wright talked to the team about it briefly during the pregame meal. But I don't think he has much to worry about -- this is a very experienced Villanova team, a team that has played as though it's on a mission all season.
The Cats played that way against Rutgers, particularly in the second half. Yes, they let Quincy Douby torch them for 24 points in the first half. But they bottled him up in the second half -- even when the game was out of reach. For instance, with under three minutes play and Villanova leading 79-52, Rutgers was trying desperately to get the ball in Douby's hands. But Allan Ray played such good denial defense that he wouldn't allow Douby even a touch. That kind of effort should carry Nova a long way this March.
Other thoughts from Thursday at MSG:
• Big East tourney week is really the only week of the year when New York City is really juiced about college basketball -- and it's great to see. The subways and streets are packed with fans wearing their team colors. The bars around Madison Square Garden are overflowing. Just a great atmosphere.
• There was a really nice moment between McNamara and UConn's Rashad Anderson with just over three minutes left in regulation, and the Huskies tying the score at the foul line. Amid all that pressure and drama, the two seniors -- who've both had outstanding careers -- were grinning and chatting with one another. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I'd imagine it was along the lines of: "It's going to be a fun three minutes. And it's been a heckuva four years."
• I know West Virginia played the late game, but the West Virginia Mountaineer looked stoned as he clapped his musket to the beat of "Louie Louie." Not saying he really was -- just thought he looked funny. Then again, I'm a New Yorker -- we don't see many mountaineers 'round these parts.
"It's Georgetown-Syracuse in the Garden. That says it all," said Georgetown coach John Thompson III after the Hoyas' 62-59 win over Marquette. Seems only fitting to have a Thompson on the bench for this one, too.
• Georgetown: "Damn it feels good to be Ashanti" -- This one made me chuckle, but I'm not sure why. I didn't get a chance to verify this statement with Ashanti Cook after the game, but I'm sure he felt pretty good about the win.
• Villanova: "Put Me on ESPN" -- The brutally honest approach. I like it.
• West Virginia: "You've Just Been Pittsnogled" -- C'mon, can't you come up with something new?
This week's poll question is a simple one: After the loss to Syracuse, are you worried about UConn? Please vote at the top right of this page.
Instead of answering questions in the Report Card this week, I answered them Friday morning in a chat in ESPN.com's SportsNation.
The rest of Championship Week (check local listings): I'm biased, but I would pay attention to the Big East in particular; should be a fabulous final three games.
NCAA Tournament Selection Show (Sunday, 6 p.m. ET, CBS): For all us bracketologists, it's the most exciting hour of the year. Period.
"The Sopranos" (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET, HBO): The only show that could get me to put my bracket away for an hour on Selection Sunday.

A couple of weeks ago Julie had brought some venison all the way from Minnesota. But there was way too much for us to just eat by ourselves - plus it just wouldn't be any good if it wasn't cooked on a grill. Fortunately, Betsy is both a fan of venison and has a grill. So yesterday found us in New Jersey.
In the morning Jo-Ann went out to go shopping for Christmas. I followed in the afternoon with the fixins. That way it worked out for the both of us.

This volume contains a series of lectures presented at the Memphis Veterans' Administration Hospital in 1955 and 1956 by a number of prominent physicians and clinical psychologists. The lecture series, in the words of the editor, "constituted a coordinated teaching venture on the interrelationships of the medical and psychological sciences pertaining to tuberculosis."
Following the editor's introduction and three separate and thoughtful forwards, the thirty-three chapters are presented in four parts. The first, entitled "Basic Considerations," deals with endocrine and psychosomatic aspects of disease, in particular of tuberculosis. Parts two and three deal with clinical applications of psychological research and psychotherapy as applied to tuberculosis patients in general and to some of the special problems met with in their management, especially the one of irregular discharge. Fortunately, the patient's physician, and all hospital staff members, come in for considerable attention in several of the chapters. While hesitant to single out

Your freckles and sun spots didn't appear overnight—and they won't go away that quickly, either. The easiest, least expensive route is to smear on a cream or gel with hydroquinone, which is the only ingredient approved by the FDA for skin lightening. For a little more oomph, there's the prescription cream Tri-Luma, which is a combination of a soothing steroid, smoothing tretinoin, and 4 percent hydroquinone. It can take four weeks to see initial signs of improvement, though, and up to eight months for vastly noticeable differences. "It can work," Dover allows, "but it can take a looong time." An Intense Pulsed Light laser also helps but costs about $200 a session. This, Graf points out, is still gradual: "We can treat the chest area in about five office visits, depending on the patient's response, usually about a month apart," she says, with results that significantly eradicate the large spots and discoloration.
Where to find it: Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel, Ambi Skincare Fade Cream.

Four of Jan Fraser's student rentals were inspected by
Flanders Marlow building surveyor Gwynn Gilmour yesterday
morning - two in Leith St and one each in Castle and Queen
The inspections take up to 40 minutes, depending on the size
of the house.
Flanders Marlow is conducting 25 rental property checks in
Dunedin for the Dunedin City Council.
The Dunedin, Wellington, Tauranga, Christchurch and Auckland
councils are each testing a 31-point checklist for assessing
the standard of rental properties.
Most of the 16 - a mix of student and other rentals -
inspected so far have been found to be in reasonable
The standard overall was fairly representative of the Dunedin
rental housing stock, Mr Gilmour said.
The checklist included insulation, exterior condition,
roofing, the kitchen, laundry and bathroom.
He declined to say how many flats had failed the assessment
at this stage.
Ms Fraser said she worked hard to maintain a high standard in
her flats, but was receptive to suggestions. She was not sure
exactly when she would receive her properties' reports, which
would first go to the warrant of fitness field test project
team in Wellington.
She supported the checks, which should enhance the health of
the population over time through improving the housing stock.
However, she was concerned about how new landlords might fare
faced with mandatory requirements to get a recently purchased
house up to scratch. She hoped to help those evaluating the
pilot to think through the practicalities when making
recommendations for a future mandatory scheme.
Dunedin City Council events and community development manager
Rebecca Williams said she had not seen the results so far,
but expected to once the national project group had them.
The trial was more about refining the assessment than how
many properties failed, she said.
Council flats as well as private flats were part of the test.

Sherreewells Photoshop Express worked better with my Galaxy S5, than the new S7... it crashes more. I would've given the app a 5, because it is a powerful app with great tools... many of the basic tools from it's counterpart, the desktop version, is on the smartphone version. But because of the consistently crashing problem, I give it a 4.3 rating. Please fix this crashing issue, PS Express. Thank you!
Basic Why is it i cant access Adobe PS Touch on my new tablet. I loved the application and glad i still have the old tablet so i can still use the app. Please make Photo Shop Touch avaliable on new updated devices not just express. Thus why such a low score it does not fulfil my needs and can not find another app like the old version
With Lollipop it's licking good, love it! I use NEXUS 4 (4.4.2 ART) ===== Essentially excellent. Now working without any problem also in ART runtime. For non-developers also. Thanks a lot ! I'm loving this app more and more. So clean and effective. Sometimes it's a problem with paid *looks* and happened I couldn't save ;-) *my masterpiece* ;-) because of h of Internet (at least it seems like that). And Revel is amazing even as complimentary service. Cheers! /* With 5.1.1 it's still my preferred app! Thx guys! ---------- I told you I love
Rubbish. So basic that you will probably uninstall this app soon after you have downloaded it. I guess Adobe do not want their brand to give anything good away for free. They want you to pay £££££ for it! People would be better off not wasting their time with this app and opting for a photo editing app that does not have the fancy "Adobe" name. If you do this you can find something far superior with ease.
Great little editor... And Free?! I sure am not complaining. Thank You Adobe! I have seen a few very poor reviews taking this down to 4.1 from closer to 5 and I am sorry. But, now on the 3rd phone and second tablet. All different makes and model running on various Android OS. This app is one of the few very reliable editors. I use multiple because some offer different tools that I utilize more than others. All around this is now used roughly 65-75% of the time when editing on a mobile device. Hats off to the Adobe team once again for good and reliable software.
Great useful editor Update #2: Crashes BIG TIME Update: still crashes This app is almost perfect. However it crashes but not often. I love how it can keep my landscape pictures and I can easily upload itnin instagram as a landscape without forcing me to crop it which is really nice. Color adjustments and effects are on point. Especially since I use my Note 4 for, when I check the images in my TV quality is still awesome. Thanks!

The search is over for a mother and her two children who were
feared taken hostage by a man who was reportedly armed.
Police began searching for a four-wheel-drive being driven by
a man with a female passenger - seen to be in a distressed
state - and two young children about 2.20pm.
TVNZ reported that an emergency call was also made by
someone, believed to be an occupant of the vehicle, asking
for help.
The search started in Cambridge before an unconfirmed
sighting of the car in Waihi.
The family's vehicle stopped by police in Napier shortly
before 7pm this evening.
Eastern Waikato Area Commander Inspector Dana McDonald said
they were liaising with their Eastern District colleagues but
confirmed all members of the family were safe and well.
"A considerable number of police from across the Waikato, Bay
of Plenty, Northern Communications Centre and now Eastern
District have been involved in the search for the family and
I would just like to acknowledge their efforts."
Earlier today, armed police checked houses in Te Puna.
A police spokesman said this evening that no firearm was
recovered or reported to them.
Mr McDonald acknowledged the members of the public who helped
with the enquiry.

Working in the extreme cold has been the routine for the past month, but for a New Jersey couple the cold comes with the call of the wild.
With howling heard in the distance, a snow covered path between two eight foot high fences is Jim Stein's cold daily trek through the office halls. Instead of other employee's stuck in cubicles, 18 wolves pace back and forth.
It's 7 a.m. and 20 degrees but for Stein it feels like a heat wave.
"Maybe a week ago, we had 20 below zero with windchill up here on the mountain," he said.
For 15 years, Jim and his girlfriend, Becky Mace, have run the Lakota Wolf Preserve in Warren County New Jersey.
"Our main goal was to give a handful of wolves already born in captivity a good place to live their lives, and hopefully educate people about wolves," Stein said in between licks from two of his Timber wolves.
Located in the Kittatinny Mountains, the preserve is set far back from the road and is void of any electricity.
"Alright guys let me in to do your water," Stein says inside a two acre pen.
So, the daily grind is a constant face to face meeting with Mother Nature. Duties include chopping ice, trucking in fluids, refilling water tubs, and butchering fresh road kill.
"It's pretty brutal out in it every day. You get used to it. Just dress appropriately. If real bad I have a face mask," he said.
"I love the animal, it's special to me. It's such a strong intelligent animal that is misrepresented," Stein went on to say.
Giving public tours and caring for the current eighteen wolves, three bobcats and two foxes leaves time for little else.
The couple hasn't vacationed together in 15 years.
When we come up here it's quiet, the wolves spend time with you, loving you, it's well worth it," Mace stated.
It all makes for a wild work environment.

Appalachian Trail trek a 'life-changing experience'
|From a rocky outlook along the Appalachian Trail in Virgina, the Shenandoah Valley meets the horizon in 2002. (Alan Solomon/Chicago Tribune/MCT)
Megan Taylor did little else, trekking about 1,200 miles from Pennsylvania to Georgia between May 21 and Aug. 30. It was her second and final leg in completing the 14-state, 2,186-mile Appalachian Trail.
"It was really a life-changing experience," Taylor said. "It really makes you look at the world differently.
"It takes a lot, but it's worth every day and every step."
The Wichita, Kan., native now hopes to help others better enjoy the outdoors as she works toward a career goal of becoming a university professor in outdoors recreation.
Neither the climbing nor academia was a childhood dream. It was late in a six-year hitch in the Kansas Air National Guard that she confided to a friend that she would like to try something challenging, like maybe running a marathon.
"He said I should go climb a mountain, and I liked the idea," Taylor, 28, said. "At the time the only mountain I'd heard of was Pike's Peak so I packed my bags, went and climbed it. That weekend totally changed my life."
Her desire to learn more about mountaineering in 2008 sent her researching colleges where it could be incorporated into a career. She now has a bachelor's degree in outdoor recreation from Southern Utah University and is set to graduate from Minnesota State University-Mankato in December with a master's in experiential education, which she describes as "learning by doing, not sitting in a classroom."
Next year she will begin doctorate work at the University of Utah, in outdoors recreation.
Through all of her studies, she has found plenty of time for hiking. Taylor eventually conquered several of Colorado's famous, or infamous, "fourteeners," which are mountains with peaks at least 14,000 feet above sea level. She has also been to the highest points in most states.
The fact that most took just a day or two to climb left Taylor looking for more.
"I liked it so much I wanted to try my hand at long-distance hiking," Taylor said. "The only long-distance trail I knew of was the Appalachian Trail, so I researched it."
She also learned she could include such a trek in her educational progress.
"In our program (at Minnesota State) you can do a thesis or a project for your master's," she said. "Hiking the Appalachian Trail is certainly a project."
Most hikers travel from south to north on the trail, but Taylor wanted to do things a bit differently.
In early September 2011, she started at the trail's northern end, the summit of 5,268-foot Mount Katahdin in Maine.
"I knew the hardest, steepest part of the trail is up north, in Maine, so I wanted to get the hardest part out of the way first," Taylor said. "Also, 90 percent of the hikers start in Georgia and head north. I didn't want to travel with hundreds of hikers."
She also knew that beginning in September, she would surely be hiking into winter weather, and she wanted to be as far south as as possible when it came.
The September start was so she could hike with a friend who spent her summers fighting fires in Utah. Their partnership on the trail only lasted about 45 days.
"We're good friends, but it had a lot to do about different paces and itineraries," Taylor said.
"She's 6-1 and I'm 5-4 so paces are a big deal. I loved going into towns and seeing all of the things, and she really didn't, so..."
That meant Taylor did about the last two months of her first hike down the trail by herself, which she said kind of added to the feeling of accomplishment, though it did bring some loneliness.
"If I wanted companionship, I would hike into a town, solely to sit in a diner, have a cup of coffee and just listen to people for a couple of hours," she said.
Along the trail she encountered 14 black bears, four rattlesnakes and thousands of other hikers and never felt afraid. It was Mother Nature who smacked her the hardest physically and emotionally.
"When I was in Connecticut they had the worst snowstorm they'd had since the Civil War," Taylor said. "I was going through about two feet of snow, maybe going one-half mile per hour.
"I had tears freezing on my face, my fingers hurt, my toes hurt..."
Yet from that day of discomfort eventually came some of Taylor's best memories from the trail.
She spent that night in one of the many simple shelters built about every eight to 10 miles along the trail, making a fire in the small fireplace and eating marshmallows her mother had stored in her pack. The next morning the temperatures had warmed, the clouds were gone and she hiked through snow that sparkled like miles of diamonds.
That day a local woman stopped when she saw Taylor beside the road, gave her a ride to town and treated her to lunch.
"They call them Trail Angels," Taylor said. "They're the locals that do good deeds for hikers."
Though she had originally planned on hiking through to Georgia, Taylor said she eventually elected to fly home in mid-December and return to finish the trail another time.
That time was this summer, when she returned to where she had stopped in Pennsylvania and headed south. A partner joined her for the middle 800 miles of the roughly 1,200 miles she hiked this summer.
Taylor said she never really felt unsafe as a single woman hiking alone.
"If there was someone at a shelter I didn't feel comfortable around, I just kept hiking on," she said. "But that only happened a time or two."
While the first half of her hike had her handling the rough and wild terrain of Maine, the high alpine climbs of New Hampshire and the deep snows, this summer Taylor hiked through some monsoon-like rains that set records in several Eastern states. Those were some of her most pleasant days, too.
"Insects are the only wildlife that bothered me," she said. "I didn't have to deal with them when it was raining."
She figures she averaged about 15 miles a day, with a best of 23 miles in a day. When it was cold or the weather turned bad, she often slept in a tent. She used a hammock when conditions were pleasant.
About once a week she would rent a bed at a hostel in a town near the trail, stock up on food and other supplies, take a shower and do her laundry.
"I didn't want to stay more than about a day per week in any of the towns," she said. "If you do, you end up spending a lot of money and you end up craving town more than the wilderness, and the whole reason you're out there is for that wilderness."
Taylor figures she hiked the trail for an average of about $2 per mile, which mostly went to food from local grocery stores and the occasional restaurant.
Off the trail now for about a week, Taylor spent time in the Wichita area visiting family and friends and picking up Lily, her Pomeranian, so she can take the dog back to college. Looking back, she said the little 6-pound dog may be her greatest regret concerning the Appalachian Trail.
"I wish I'd brought her along on the trail," Taylor said. "I think it would have been a great bonding experience, and being outside on the trail 24/7 would just be paradise for a dog."
A conference was held in 1925 by people interested in a trail down the spine of the mountains that cross the eastern U.S. from north to south.
By 1937, a trail was completed through 14 states. It's been improving with each passing decade, said Laurie Potteiger of the West Virginia-based Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
Currently, Potteiger said, about 99.5 percent of the trail is in public ownership, with much of it owned and maintained by the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. About 80 other organizations and agencies contribute land, funding or manpower to the trail.
"It's like a patchwork quilt that's been stitched together," Potteiger said. "It's been considered the biggest, and most complex, land acquisition project ever for the park service."
She said about 6,000 volunteers dedicate time, and often their own money, to help maintain and improve the trail, which has 2,186 miles of foot paths through an area that averages about 1,000 yards wide.
Most years, she said, 2 million to 3 million people set foot on the trail. This year about 2,700 will try to hike the trail end-to-end, with about one in four completing the trek, which averages about six months from spring to late summer or early fall.

Recently I've been reading up on the MVC pattern and wish to apply it to my iPhone development. However, there seem to be so many variations of the pattern that I'm not sure exactly how it should be applied.
As far as I gather, the view will notify the controller of any actions which have been performed and the controller will in turn update the data model (if required). The data model will notify the view whenever a change to the data occurs and the view then updates it's display of the data appropriately.
In this basic model, the controller only has knowledge of the data model. However, I can't seem to figure out how to employ this design within my iPhone app.
The following page suggests an alternative version of the pattern where the controller has an awareness of both the data model and the view and all communication between the model and view is performed via the controller. It also seems to suggest that the model and view have access to the controller. Would I be right in suggesting that the data model interacts with the controller via some form of notification (notifications or KVO) and that the view interacts with the controller via actions?
Is this second model correct?
Many thanks,

Joblessness Still Plagues Metro Areas
Unemployment rates in 372 U.S. metropolitan areas continued their upward climb in July, Labor Department figures released Tuesday show.
Some 19 metros now have unemployment rates above 15%; eight are in California, hard-hit by the real-estate collapse, and five are in Michigan, suffering from the auto industry's downturn.
El Centro, Calif., continues to have the nation's highest unemployment rate, rising to 30.2% in July. Yuma, Ariz., is next with 26.2%. The national average in July was 9.7%, not seasonally adjusted. The Labor Department will update the latter figure Friday.
There were a few bright spots in July, mostly in interior states less affected by the real-estate boom and bust and aided by relative strength in natural-resources industries. Bismarck, N.D., posted the lowest jobless rate in July, 3.1%, followed by Fargo, N.D., and Rapid City, S.D., at 4.3% each.
Among the biggest cities with a million people or more, Detroit's unemployment rate was highest, at 17.7%, followed by Riverside-San Bernadino-Ontario, Calif., at 14.3% and Las Vegas at 13.1%.
Oklahoma City, at 5.9%, and the Washington, D.C., metro area, at 6.2%, had the lowest unemployment rates among the nation's biggest cities in July.

Migrant students' and employers' perspectives on cooperative education in New Zealand: Implications for English language teaching
Brown, T. Pascal; Ayres, Robert

New Zealand has at present a low unemployment rate and a shortage of skilled workers. There are also many immigrants from non-English speaking countries who are unemployed. These migrant New Zealanders often have no locally based work experience, know little about the culture of work and are lacking in English proficiency. Employers on the other hand can be reticent to employ a migrant for a variety of reasons; the main ones being the migrant's English language skills and lack of NZ-based work experience. Ways to overcome these barriers for the migrants, both linguistic and sociolinguistic, can best be addressed in a TESOL course which includes a cooperative education module. Addressing employer attitudes is more difficult but there are examples of 'good' employers who welcome migrants. There are also benefits for employers in accepting migrants on unpaid work experience such as learning about diversity in the workplace and addressing their EEO principles. This paper summarizes data collected through employer and student interviews and questionnaires that investigated perceptions of both employers and employees on what migrants need in English language training courses to best prepare them for the workplace. The paper also gives examples of authentic spoken workplace texts (ASWTs) that can be used in the classroom to prepare migrant students for co-operative education. It is suggested that these texts can be used to lead students into discussing not only linguistic issues at work but also sociolinguistic situations and issues that they will come across. The paper also frames these ASWTs within a model of teaching entitled the 'Authentic Independent Motivational teaching model'.

Let's face it, the whole business of reloading python code after changing it is a mess. I figured out awhile back that calling
import <module> at the interpreter is better than
from <module> import <class/function>, because then I can call
reload(module) to get updated code.
But I have more complicated issues now. So I have this file, module1.py, and at the top it says:
from module2 import <class1>, <function1>, etc.
And then I go and change code inside module2. Turns out that calling
reload(module1) will not reload the code changed in module2, even though code from module2 is imported at the top of module1. Is there any way to reload everything without restarting the interpreter?
Before anyone gets on my case about style, I'll just say that:
- I only call
reloadfrom the interpreter, never in active code. This question concerns when I'm testing new code.
- I never call from
<module> import *, I know that destroys readability

I have been tasked with demoing how Integration Services handles an error during a data flow to show that no data makes it into the destination. This is an existing package and I want to limit the code changes to the package as much as possible (since this is most likely a one time deal).
The scenario that is trying to be understood is a "systemic" failure - the source file disappears midstream, or the file server loses power, etc.
I know I can make this happen by having the Error Output of the source set to Failure and introducing bad data but I would like to do something lighter than that.
I suppose I could add a Script Transform task and look for a certain value and throw an error but I was hoping someone has come up with something easier / more elegant.

I have found a bug.
This plugin lets users that are not activated (user_status = 2) login with their email address. If they use their username they receive an error (as they should) but not when they use their email address.
I am using this plugin with BuddyPress, so this obviously creates problems when they can login without being activated.
