NB Powerhas announced a plan to buy power from an Alberta companythat has promisedto build New Brunswick's first wind farm on the Kent Hills in Albert County.
"NB Power welcomes this opportunity in taking this next step in bringing wind energy to our province," utility president David Hay held a news conference Friday to announce the deal.
TransAlta Corporation expects to build 25 wind turbines, which will generate about 220,000 MWh of electricity per year, enough to supply about 13,600 homes per year. The deal calls for the company to begin producing wind power by 2008.
TransAlta is a private, electrical power generating company that owns and operates 50 power plants around the world,as well as200 wind turbines in Alberta.
Canada has more than 1,100 wind turbines producing commercial power in eight provinces, but none are in New Brunswick, where the province has instead invested in big polluting thermal electricitical generators like Coleson Cove and Belledune.
NB Power had expected to get into the wind-power game last spring. Two years ago, Hay announced a plan to have deals in place to buy electricity from up to five wind farms around the province.
Friday's announcement, already nine months late, will see the construction of just one of those five promised wind farms.
However, Energy Minister Jack Keir said more are coming.
"It's great to see that a wind development is taking place, but one of the things that New Brunswick should be looking at is trying to situate this in the context of removing our dirtier sources of energy."
Environmentalists applauded the announcement, saying they hope wind energy will help wean New Brunswick off of its polluting power plants.
That is unlikely, however, becauseNew Brunswick's governingLiberals promised in September's election that in addition to wind, they are also interested in building a second thermal powerplant, likely fired by coal, in Belledune.

This is probably the first ever interview released by FC Infonet president and owner, Andrei Leshkin.
He admitted that he prefers to be away from the spotlights, an attitude that also reflects on the way he lives the matchday.
Andrei comes from the IT world and, after being personally involved in organizing a local football team for kids, decided to take the 'giant leap' and go on with his own club and organization philosophy.
The fact that his IT company (Infonet) brands the football club, it's not a mere channel of promotion for his own business. It's Andrei's concrete wish to bring the same professional approach he has implemented in his work experience.
Andrei accepted to chat with Rumori as he is one of our proud readers.
We touched FC Infonet's target for this season and for the seasons to come; his relations with the coach (Aleksandr Pushtov) and the players; his personal approach to the club things and the upcoming plans for enlarging the audience.
Andrei spoke broadly about all aspects of his 'football life'.
We also took a glance at recent events: the upcoming game against Tammeka and the 'jersey affair' that shook the Estonian medias and rose several controversies.
Andrei, the season has not started very well.
Did you expect this considering the many changes the XI underwent?
When comes to the result yes, we were expecting a better beginning.
Referring to the changes brought to the game and the squad itself, everything justifies the expectations.
The squad became much more stable and balanced, features that lacked during last season. Also, we've got some additions in many other aspects. The result is expected to come.
FC Infonet have not scored a goal yet.
Last season you scored 4 goals in 3 games, and 3 were all against Tammeka. Tammeka are visiting Tallinn on Premium Liiga resume on Saturday. Optimist that goal(s) will come again against the Tartu Blues?
From the goals side, it might look strange – 3 games no goals scored. But personally, I don't see any problems in the game.
The team plays well, and the goals should come, it can't be the other way.
Psychologically, it is indeed unpleasant. I hope that during the next game the team will have a specific spirit for the result. The coach and the team understand everything perfectly.
Nothing personal against Tammeka, but it turns out that they are coming to play us again this time. It won't be easy for them, I can promise that.
FC Infonet was very active on transfer market immediately after season 2014 was over. In November you already announced 4 big signings, this is quite unusual for Estonian clubs who wait for February to confirm their XI…
I think there's nothing unusual in it. We had positions which we needed to be filled. There were players whose contracts had ended and we were able to offer them a place in our team. We start to prepare for the season in December. There is no point to wait till February (for signings –edit). We think it is better to start preparing for the season quietly and systematically and the earlier the team will be completed the better it is.
As for the international players – yes, the transfer window opens a bit later, it happens that players wait until they get a better offer, and again they need to be checked, which takes time as well.
That is why February is the contract-signing month. If the team is not complete, the closer it is to the season the more everybody gets nervous.
'Quality is our goal' it's FC Infonet motto. Can you explain us what this means for you and your working ethics in football?
There are few things, which I would like to be fundamental in our club. We were announcing that in the very first statement when being promoted to Premium Liiga.
Quality and professionalism - they are certainly the aims that we are trying to achieve constantly. Goals, wins, successful transfers and etc. all this is the result of how professionally we work. It means that championship is not the aim itself. Initially our goal was to bring the structure of the club to a professional level. It is hard work indeed.
However, if you don't know, we started right from children football. Once our players were 4 years old and now they are all 18-19 and they play in top league. 14 years is a long way, consisting of thousands of compromises and choices between the result and the development of the player or the team. For the coaches it is not easy to keep the balance. We have a quite good school for children, which are the fundament our club is based on.
In the past there was only Flora stockpiling titles. Then Levadia started to challenge too and won a lot. Nõmme Kalju managed to get in between there and established rivalry with both. Eastern Estonia had his role with Narva Trans first and Sillamäe Kalev later. Are FC Infonet the next one?
We wish to be so (smiles –edit)
Among the coaches in Premium Liiga, I think Aleksandr Pushtov has shown to be committed to a certain type of game (attacking football and good exploitation of overlappings in 4-2-3-1 system) and he is always willing to implement that beyond the result. What do you think of your coach?
I think that we got lucky with our coach, especially young players. However, I see him from a different perspective than players.
Those things that he is trying to explain and teach are correct. Sometimes the understanding and the comprehension do come afterwards, with personal experience.
I know that as a president you would say you like all of your players. However, at any club, there's always a favourite player. To quote some famous examples: Inter's Moratti favourite was Recoba, Agnelli (Juventus) loved Platini and Berlusconi (AC Milan) could not resist in declaring his preference for Van Basten. Who is your favourite player currently or from the past seasons?
(Thinks a bit –edit) … I can't really pick someone specific out. There are players, who are more open and easy in communication; ready to have some fun and sometimes they are not even shy to joke with the president. From those who left, I'd say Lipin and Manucho, connections were good and still are.
In my season's predictions, I wanted to dare and I offered FC Infonet reaching the podium (2ndplace exactly). Is it feasible?
Why not the first? (smiles –edit) Theoretically, it is possible of course. Before the beginning of the season all five teams were looking on a pretty similar level to me. First games should have shown a lot but for me personally many things are still unknown. One thing we know for sure, that it is not going to be easy.
Let's say you have the chance to take one player away from each rival to make your life easier: Flora, Levadia, Kalju and Sillamäe. Which player would you take from each?
Flora – Alliku, Levadia – Antonov, Kalju – Wakui, Sillamae – ...he's been already taken by us (smiles –edit)
What do you think about the general development of Estonian football, is it moving in the right direction? Have you got any suggestion?
The direction is correct however, it will take long time to develop. The football needs to be popularized with the help of everybody, but this topic is too wide.
FC Infonet will move to Lasnamäe in May. Are you hoping to increase attendance and enlarge the fan basis? What are the club's marketing plans connected with the home ground?
Yes, audience is one of the priorities for this season. We are already preparing for this event. For us working with audience and fans will be quite a challenge. Many hopes are connected with this.
Who would be the average FC Infonet fan as opposed to other fans from other clubs?
It's hard to say. There are different groups, which we intend to work with but if our purposes will work or not it is hard to say now. They are people who are close to football or parents, basically we start from the scratch. However, it is understandable because first, there were other targets to prioritize more. Also, it was hard to do something without an own base.
If you shall invite a person to come and watch an Infonet game, what would you tell him/her?
If I want the person to come and continue coming to our matches, there should be three different conditions in my opinion.
First, I will try to make it so that the rival will be someone who plays an open football. Not to abuse anyone and our club as well, but there were games during which even I was falling asleep. The game should be interesting.
Second, weather. Person must feel himself comfortable when visiting for the first time.
Third, game shall be scheduled preferably at a comfortable time. Additionally, a buffet shall be offered and he shouldn't be alone on the stands.
If all of those conditions apply, then I will invite him to see his first game live.
Once there was a stereotype that Estonian football is boring. It has not been like that for quite a long time already. Of course Estonian Premium Liiga it's not a competitor to English Premier League, but at the same time, there are Italian Serie A matches that are even more boring (we both smile and agree -edit).
The main thing is that we shouldn't apologize to the person after the game (smiles –edit).
Since you have founded this club, what was the biggest emotion you lived through? Both positive and negative.
The most positive emotions are related to children, to their achievements. Otherwise, everything is the same as for your work: you get satisfaction if something goes right as you planned or negative emotions if it didn't. Just the emotions are increased by many times (smiles –edit)
It looks like, either as recipient or victim, at every start of season FC Infonet is protagonist of some funny episodes. Last season you got three points after losing to Kalju due to a bureaucratic blunder committed by Sergei Terehhov. This season the 'jersey affair' hit the headlines after Infonet-Flora. What you think about this episode that involved Mashichev and the referee, was it handled adequately?
I think it was the 4th official fault in this situation.
He could have told the coach that Mashichev can put on a different jersey with any number. But all he said was "the player can't play without a number". Take it how you want. I know that last season we have played with Narva and all Narva team was playing with training bibs. Different rules apply?
In big football countries they say there is some kind of 'psychological pressure' on referees when they officiate big clubs against smaller ones.
Do you think there is something similar in Estonia?
I think so, yes.
I have seen you often at the games.
How do you handle your emotions during the match knowing that you cover an official role?
I try to sit somewhere away from others (smiles –edit)
Andrei, I know that you are a loyal reader of Rumori.
Can you tell us what you like to find here in general and what you like specifically?
I like the neutral position and good understanding of what is happening on the field and out of it. I like your energy; you guys actually put a lot of effort for the popularization of Estonian football. I haven't seen either any English-speaking specific website or good source about Estonian football before. However, I don't like that the website has not a user friendly interface, sorry... (smiles –edit).
Coming from an IT expert, we take your precious remark and we will improve the looks in the future, thanks!
I close this interview with a long-term question.
Do you see FC Infonet winning the title in the next 3 years?
We consider a 5-year time including the past two, as it needed 5 years for Kalju to win (2013) after promotion (2008).
I have no idea, that is what I am interested in as well…

AJMF8 International Night featuring Nick Edelstein, Foad Naraghi, Sarah Aroeste and other musicians.
Eddie's Attic
515-B North McDonough St.
Decatur, GA, 30030
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 7:30 PM
AJMF8 International Night
AJMF8 International night features the winners of our first ever AJMF commission, Nick Edelstein and Foad Naraghi. From their application last Fall:
"The songs we are preparing are about unifying opposing communities and ethnicities. The first is called "Solidus" and borrows its name from the slash symbol [The division line between the numerator and the denominator of a fraction]. This hard line reveals the common denominator amongst ourselves, and when broken apart (Solid Us) the meaning is unification. We begin with the obvious "U.S." (as in, presidential election politics) but quickly move beyond to a more personal and universal "us" -- Jews, Muslims, Turkish and Kurdish, refugee immigrants, etc. can unite towards common goals. How can our common ground unite us to help create a solid US? The music would blend instruments that traditionally never mix - a renaissance crumhorn and cornetto, electric guitar and analog synth, tabla and other middle eastern percussion - with modern and traditional vocal stylings to create new, fresh tone colors." Nick and Foad will be joined on stage by members of Nick's critically-acclaimed band, "The Grooves," and Ladino singer/songwriter Sarah Aroeste for a truly incredible evening. The new songs will be featured alongside Foad's unique modernized stylings of Turkish and Persian folk melodies, backed by The Grooves' funky horns and rhythm section.
Nick Edelstein is founder of Judaic Mosaic songwriting & recording camp (judaicmosaic.org) and plays cornetto in the highly-acclaimed Renaissance ensemble, Lauda Musicam (laudamusicam.org). As a longtime active member of Atlanta's Jewish music scene (guitar/vocals, The Moody Jews band 2004-'15, etc.), and member of The Recording Academy, Nick loves exploring new collaborations and soundscapes. Past collaborations of note include AJMF artists Axum, and Lily of The Suburbs, and Nigerian sensation Nneka Obata.
Foad Naraghi is an internationally renowned singer of Hebrew, Turkish, Kurdish, and Persian music. Big in Toronto, NYC, and D.C. he recently moved to Atlanta and is already creating strong buzz. Foad is passionate about bringing people together and blurring political borders; this summer he sang a sold-out concert for the Kurdish Jewish Group of North America in NYC.
Sarah Aroeste has worked tirelessly to keep Ladino music alive for a new generation. Her style, whether with her original music or with interpreting Ladino folk repertoire, combines traditional Mediterranean Sephardic sounds with contemporary influences such as rock, funk jazz and blues. One of few Ladino artists today who writes her own music, Aroeste performs songs of such universal themes as family dynamics, first-love crushes, unrequited love, loss, searching for home, going off to war, and much more. Together, her songs have brought new life and energy to the beautiful and mysterious sounds of Sephardic music.

It's been a while friends!
While I was away from the blog I tried to mull it over, and it was tough. This matchup intrigued me from the start, even before the AFC/NFC playoffs were over. I said "if these two teams meet it could get very interesting."
I know I loved the Seattle defense all year.
I know the NFC is better than the AFC.
I know the two best teams in football are the 49ers and the Seahawks.
With that said, just because the Seahawks are deemed the better team by multiple measure, that doesn't mean they're going to win the big game. This game will be close. It will be tough. Neither team is really going to pull away from the other, I think, until the fourth quarter. When it's all said and done though, I think there's just too little the Seahawks bring offensively that if the Broncos slow down Marshawn Lynch that's going to give them a huge edge.
My feeling is, the Broncos DO slow down Lynch putting the Seahawks in very uncomfortable territory. I grant you that Peyton Manning, Broncos QB, and his throws were pretty wiffle ball worthy of late. However, whatever talent the Seattle secondary brings can be matched by the sheer number of good receivers the Broncos bring on the other side. Special teams is a wash. You might even argue that coaching is a wash, but something about Pete Carroll teams in a big game. When I picked the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season, I did not anticipate they'd encounter a quarterback as good as Manning. The problem with Seattle is, in order for them to win they need to be able to have a grip on the game offensively. I just don't think they would do as well with that as SF could have in this same Super Bowl vs the Broncos. Even as good as Seattle's defense is, it might not be enough.
In a tough fought game, I have the Broncos winning out: Broncos 24, Seahawks 16. Super LOCK… of the year.
Historically we are on a 5 game winning streak w/ Super Bowl Picks. I really feel like this may be the year it lets me down. But we will see. It's hard to go against your instincts and instincts say "take the Broncos." Here's to a good Super Bowl!

Mark the Beginning
The Silas emerged in early 2003, due to a uniting of local musicians in the La Area. The bands creative focus was on delivering hard riffs and good melody on top of kickass dubble-bass. The guitarist/bassist Josh Mason, and percussinst Eric Mouness met up with guitar and vocalist Sisco Robles in late 2004 after some line up changes mid year. After this trio came together four months later Mark the Beginning was completed, full of pulsating rythms and hard riffs.

Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
Well, anyone who know me knows that I love cheesecake. Most passionately. So… These little cheesecakes were definitely a pleasure to have around. I welcomed them with open arms–er, mouth. 😉 Wanna know how I made them?
Here's the recipe:
Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
Makes 12 cheesecakes.
1 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
12 oz. (1-1/2 bricks) cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 c. sour cream
Homemade or canned cherry pie filling
*Note: When a recipe calls for "Eggs" ALWAYS assume they mean large ones. That's the way we roll! For cookies and other not-as-particular recipes, you can sometimes substitute the large eggs for medium or small ones. But if you're not sure where you can bend the rules, always stick with the large eggs– I've never seen a recipe asking for anything else, and those (in my experience) always yield the best results.
Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 325 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all of the crust ingredients together and mix until well combined. Divide this mixture among the paper liners, and press evenly into the base of each one.
Bake this for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool.
For the filling, in a medium-large mixing bowl, beat your cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla, salt, eggs, and egg yolk. Beat until well combined. Stir in the sour cream until well incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crusts, dividing evenly (you should be able to fill each cup almost to the top). Bake the cheesecakes 20-25 minutes, until the tops begin to crack and the centers are set. Cool on wire racks completely (the centers will sink slightly as they cool).
Once the cheesecakes are cool, refrigerate in sealed containers until serving. Just before serving, spoon a few cherries over top of each cheesecake. Enjoy!
Don't forget to leave a review or send me a photo if you make these! I'd love to hear all about it.
Until next week!

For Honor – Season 2 Shadow and Might Now Available
Season 2 of For Honor starts today, which means a new round of the Faction War as well as two new maps, new gear, and more. Two new Heroes also join the roster for the new season: the Samurai now count the nimble Shinobi among their ranks, while the Knights get the powerful Centurion. Both of the new Heroes are available now for Season Pass owners, while other players will be able to unlock them for 15,000 Steel each starting May 23.
We've put the new arrivals through their paces, spending a considerable amount of time hurling chained sickles, ringing opponents' bells with mailed fists, and shoving hapless warriors into lava pits. Here's a quick distillation of what we thought:
Mikel Reparaz: The Shinobi might be my favorite of the two new arrivals, although it's a closer contest than I expected. Unsurprisingly, the Shinobi isn't much for soaking up damage, but nobody's faster, and the long-distance grab moves – which can hook and pull in an opponent in a surprise block-breaking maneuver – are immensely fun to execute, especially if you're quick enough to launch into a combo as soon as your target gets close. You can keep enemies guessing by backflipping away after an attack, which might look like a simple dodge but enables you to launch into a flip kick or another grab.
Keep in mind that "quick" is a double-edged sword here. The Shinobi can execute some stunningly fast moves, like a double-dash that can chain right into an attack, and a deflection that lets you teleport behind your enemy – but at the same time, you'll have to perform those moves quickly to be effective, especially since the Shinobi's stances (and ability to block) evaporate almost instantly after you nudge the right stick. That's especially true considering that the Shinobi's most powerful attacks are charged by windmilling the kusarigama, which leaves you vulnerable to attack for a brief window. Find an opening and strike quickly, or you'll lose your advantage.
Andy Bauman: The first time I sprinted toward and subsequently slide-tackled my opponent at the start of an elimination match, I knew the Shinobi was pretty cool. Shortly after, I realized the new Samurai is not only adept at close-range combat, but can strike at long range as well, making the Shinobi a must-master warrior. That's going to be easier said than done, however, because there are so many useful moves and abilities available to you. Once you're up to speed, you'll be flinging your chained kusarigama from pretty far away, then summersaulting in to close the distance and land a flurry of close-up hacks and slashes, only to then time your dodge perfectly to when the enemy attacks to teleport behind them to pull off a stylish kick to their backside. Hopefully, you'll still have some stamina left to get away and start the combo over again, because if not, well, you'll be dead in just a few hits. Pesky light heroes. You might not care, though, because of how awesome you just looked.
Giancarlo Varanini: The Shinobi is the kind of For Honor Hero where you see it action and say, "Wow. I want to learn that character!" As Andy and Mikel pointed out, the Shinobi has an impressive array of short- and long-range maneuvers that are sure to keep even the most experienced For Honor combatant on their toes, but it might take some time before you can get to that point. All of those cool moves feel like they require a bit more situational awareness and sharp reflexes than most of the bruisers on the For Honor roster, but if you can put in the time, it'll be well worth it.
Mikel: As an ancient Roman soldier fighting alongside knights in plate mail, the Centurion might seem a little out of place on For Honor's battlefields – but he's a battering ram of a Hybrid, with a hulking frame and toughness to match. He's a big fan of combining his short gladius with devastating punches, and if you're tackling an enemy head-on, his jab combo – which actually begins with an impaling gladius lunge, continues with an unblockable punch to the face, and follows up with a couple of quick slashes a downward stab if your enemy fell over – is an excellent opener. I also had a lot of fun with his Lion's Roar combo, which involves staggering your enemy with a punch, and then moving in close to bash them in the head a few times with the gladius' pommel. He's a brawler who can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time, but if you're fast enough, you can get around his defenses and cut him down to size.
Chris Watters: Many of the heroes of For Honor obscure their faces for battle, but there's something uniquely unsettling about the Centurion's expressionless human mask. Perhaps it's that the appearance of calmness contrasts so sharply with the rowdy close-quarters combat at which the Centurion excels. Like the Berserker, he (there's no female Centurion) rushes in with both arms swinging. The difference is, the Centurion is more heavily armored, so he can take more of a beating, and he only wields a single one-handed weapon, leaving his gauntlet-clad hand free to grab, punch, or grab and then punch.
His bulk can be frustrating when he's casually blocking your strikes with his flared vambraces, but don't mistake him for a hulking heavy. If (or rather, when) one of his haymakers knocks you to ground, he will quickly dive on top of you like a rugby player scoring a try—only instead of a ball spiking into the grass, it's a gladius stabbing into your chest. The Centurion brings a new style of combat to the battlegrounds, not to mention the chance to live out some classic warrior movie fantasies. Leonidas' iconic front kick that sent a Persian envoy the bottom of the well in 300 is part of the Centurion's move set, as is a taunting execution in which he baits his prey with a thumbs-up and thumbs-down, as if to ask his downed enemy whether his life should be spared. The Centurion's verdict? To chop off his arm and stab him to death.
Giancarlo: There's such a sharp contrast between the finesse of the Shinobi and the brutality of the Centurion, and while the latter might be easier for most For Honor player's to ease themselves into, it won't be any less of a challenge to master them. In my brief time with the Centurion, I became quite fond of using his running attacks to surprise a foe and then follow it up with a barrage of staggering melee attacks. However, I found it can be just as easy to be overzealous and lose track of how much of your own stamina you're using to maintain a barrage. I can't wait to play more.

About 3000 protestors were taken into custody, as activists of the Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena party vandalized theaters over remaks by the film's star Shah Rukh Khan that the Pakistani cricket players should be allowed to participate in India's professional cricket league.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
What a wonderful holiday season we have enjoyed this year. The hope of Christmas is all about love that brings joy to the world! The birth of a little child who came to be the savior of the world has changed the course of history. His goal was to give his life to save those who were lost and without hope. To bring encouragement to those who were discouraged and lonely. To restore respect to those who were rejected in society. Most of all he came to teach us to love God and one another.
Jesus is the greatest gift of all. He came to show the world what love looks like in everything he did. He walked about doing good (Acts 10:38 ) in word, deed and action. We can celebrate Christmas everyday of the year by choosing the lifestyle that Jesus gave us. We can also do good and bring love to others. By accepting him into our lives we can shine our lights brightly for others to follow. That is the first most important step. He was born to bring light to the world. Let us live to make a difference to those around us as well as within us. Everyday can be Christmas in loving kindness and caring for one another.
May this new year bring you joy, happiness and abundant blessings in every thing you do!
Happy 2016!

Want To Find (Free) Land And Become An Eco Warrior? Let This Guy Inspire You!
He lives in a tiny home on someone else's land, with no money and few possessions...and he's never been happier
Many of us dream of a simpler life: giving up the expenses of running a house, finding some land, and living in a small, eco-friendly space in harmony with nature. Many of us also invent excuses not to do so: 'I don't have a plot with planning permission', or 'I don't have any cash to get the ball rolling' being two of the most typical.
Rob Greenfield's entire existence should make us think twice about this defeatist attitude. The self-styled celebrity off-gridder, whose mission to live without money has been featured in numerous magazines and TV shows, is an inspiration to us all- and not just his tips on activism, his awesome bamboo bicycle or his passion for dumpster diving. Rob's tiny home (or should we say teeny home) is just five feet wide and ten feet long, but it looks so cosy and functional. The activist picked it up on Craigslist for just $950, and as for the problem of no land to park it up on- well, no problem. Rob figured maybe someone in the San Diego area would let him use some of their land in exchange for garden maintenance and other odd jobs, plus free food from his garden. He wrote an ad asking for this mutually beneficial agreement, and he found the perfect place with ease. Just like he dreamed of, Rob is now living off-grid, and in the city too!
Rob calls his home the 'Teeny Greeny'. Because it's so tiny, Rob admits he only uses it for sleeping and 'cuddling', but he has built an outdoor bathroom (with a composting toilet and sink), in addition to an outdoor kitchen comprising stove, sink and storage unit. Rob has fitted solar panels on the roof of his unusual house. He grows all his own food and lives 100% money (and debt) free, taking what he needs only from nature and using skill-swapping as an alternative currency to get everything he needs. He built some gutters on his neighbor's house so they can both benefit from harvesting rainwater, and tries to eat fresh food so he doesn't need to use a refrigerator. Now, he lives work-free, stress-free, money-free and worry-free. Rob's story is a reminder that we can all choose this lifestyle, and taking the plunge is easier than you might think.
This video is jam-packed with very useful advice on gardening, making compost from human waste (aka 'humanure') and Rob also offers his thoughts on why showers are really not necessary…

FHA mortgage borrowers and American homeowners will have fewer opportunities for success in the coming year as a result of the newly-minted 2015 budget bill.

Animal Abusers Also Perpetrate Violence Against Humans
April 18, 2001
Almost a quarter of all high-profile cases of intentional animal cruelty in 2000 also involved some form of family violence, says a new report from the Humane Society of the United States. The report corroborates earlier research on the connection between animal cruelty and human violence.
The HSUS's study, conducted from January through December of 2000, assessed the demographics of animal abusers, the types of animals abused, and the incidence of family violence in 1,624 high profile animal cruelty cases throughout the country.
Among the results:
- An extremely high number -- 31 percent -- of intentional cruelty cases were committed by male teens under the age of 18.
- A large number of cases of intentional animal cruelty -- 21 percent -- also involved some form of family violence, either domestic violence, child abuse or elder abuse.
- Male perpetrators were involved in 76 percent of cases overall and 94 percent of the cases involving intentional abuse.
- While women were involved in only 24 percent of cases overall, they were responsible for 45 percent of severe neglect cases, including 68 percent of animal hoarding cases.
Perpetrators of family violence abuse pets to silence, coerce and further intimidate other vulnerable family members. In 1995, researchers interviewed a small sample of domestic violence victims seeking shelter in Utah and found that 71 percent of pet-owning victims reported their batterers had threatened, hurt or killed family pets. Larger studies in 1997 and 2000 in the U.S. and Canada found that over 20 percent of domestic violence victims reported delaying leaving the abusive relationship out of fear for their pets' safety.

The open, accessible Data Intelligence Platform
for investigators, analysts and data scientists
Data Analysts, Investigators and Data Scientists in Life Science, Finance, Law Enforcement and IT Operations & Cyber Security all have the same problem: a need to slice through their data in different ways, all the time.
Big data technologies alone don't answer this need: ad hoc integrations, complicated code and queries are required to join the dots.
To do this visually across datasets is impossible, as the existing Big Data technology is completely unaware of the investigation domain.
The Siren Platform provides Domain Aware data intelligence by uniquely combining big data search, dashboard analytics, graph, real time alerting and ontology modelling.
Designed by the world's leading research authorities on Data Semantics to drive and leverage modern, leading Big Data infrastructure.
Unlike Palantir or others, Siren is designed to be 100% used, configured and controlled by our customers who need to maintain 100% control over hyper-sensitive data sets.
There is no packaging of embedded Consultants or Data Scientists. Our goal is to empower you to be in control of your own Data Intelligence roll-out.
Also all of our platform is based on industry standard technologies.
Unlike Splunk or other Log or Cyber Intelligence solutions, Siren provides instant, realtime cross stream intelligence on top of your existing Elasticsearch deployments, but also extending to Hadoop, SQL and NOSQL Databases & services.
Upgrade your existing Elasticsearch infrastructure to become a data intelligence powerhouse. Leverage your existing Hadoop cluster and interact directly with your existing SQL/NoSQL systems.

As far as rumors go, this appears to be among the weakest of the weak. An "anonymous tipster" has told the guys at CellphoneSignal that the T-Mobile G2 is going to be launched next month. If you ask me, this seems more than a bit too soon after the G1 launch to make sense for T-Mobile, though the G2 name is something we have been expecting all along, so anybody with pair of neurons still firing could have come up with that one.
Some of the highlights from G2's probably imaginary spec sheet include:
- Full touch Screen
- Enterprise support
- WiFi
- 5mp camera with autofocus and flash
- Memory card Slot
- Mobile Backup
- Stereo Bluetooth
- Sync with PC
- Task list
- Video capture and playback
- Video Messaging
- Voice Dialing
- myFaves and web2go capable
In reality, this just looks like a combination of the features mentioned recently in the Cupcake update and a few obvious "it should have had this" type additions.
Update: Boy Genius Report has received its own tip that says this G2 story is a load of hogwash, which we've said from the start appears likely. This tip claims that there is a G2, which we always knew, and that it will appear in April. That's far easier to believe.

Myself and some of our neighbors have contacted our county officials about a residence in Oddville that piles their trash beside a small creek, burns it and it appears they wait for a heavy rain to come and wash the metal and melted plastics away. This has been going on all summer and it seems nothing has been done to stop it.
Since 2004, I have had this recurring dream.
I am in my house and, though it is completely furnished with my belongings, it is still under construction. I can see open places in the ceiling. The roof has only half its shingles in place, the rest is thin tar paper.

Spanish car parts maker Cie Automotive SA says it will sell a stake of its Brazilian unit in an initial public offering during the "first part" of 2011 to finance new acquisitions in Brazil. With more than 60 manufacturing plants in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, Cie is ready to sell shares of its Brazil's Autometal SA unit to keep growing in the region, Chairman Antonio Pradera said.
The Bilbao, Spain-based Cie is counting on rapid growth in emerging markets to offset a drop in demand in developed countries in 2009.
Pradera adds that in 2010, it will set a "record" for sales, based on the company's nine-month performance. He says that Cie will double its 2009 sales before the target date of 2013. Cie rose 2.3 percent to EUR4.09 in Madrid trading.
The stock has advanced 22 percent in 2010, valuing the company at EUR467 million (US$614 million). Cie may buy businesses with sales of as much as BRL100 million ($58.6 million) in Brazil. Pradera adds that the company is looking at Russia, Turkey, India and China to acquire smaller companies. Pradera says that more than 95 percent of sales are outside Spain.
He says that demand in Europe won't reach 2008 levels for at least three to four years. The company, whose customers include General Motors Co., Volkswagen AG, Renault SA, Ford Motor Co., and other carmakers and auto-parts makers, said that earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization will also reach a "record" in 2010. Such growth will reduce Cie's debt-to-Ebitda ratio to close to 2.5 times at the end of 2010 and to about 2 times in 2011, from 4.6 times in 2009. [via autonews - sub. required]

The Latest On The Sale Of The New York Islanders
by Paul on 06/20/14 at 10:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
I RT'd this earlier but I know many KK readers don't use Twitter at all or on a daily basis...
from Christopher Botta of SportsBusiness Daily,
In the five weeks since The Shift reported that the sale of the New York Islanders to Andrew Barroway is in the hands of Charles Wang, the Islanders' current owner, Wang has not moved to complete a deal. However, specifics of the potential agreement have been confirmed with sources close to the seller, the buyer and the NHL:
• Barroway is seeking to become the majority owner and purchase 80 percent of the team. "He wants decision-making authority and the ability to bring in his own people," said a source.
• The agreed-upon value of the club is around $400 million.
• Wang's advisers told Barroway's group more than a month ago that Wang would like to complete a deal with Barroway this summer.

Culver, Indiana
Total Square Feet: 18,400
Construction Period: Jan 2001 to May 2002
Construction Team
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: WA Sheets & Sons, Inc., 1336 Polk Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46808
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER: Engineering Resources, Inc., 9835 Auburn Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46825
ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL ENGINEER: Matson Consulting Engineers, Inc., 3131 Engle Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46809
The quintessential Midwestern town of Culver, Indiana is only quintessential by first glance. Hosting the Culver Academies - a private military college preparatory high school thats history and prestige brings alumni and legacies to town from all over the world - has exposed Culver to the styles, designs, and culture of east and west coasts. One walking tour would acclimate a person to a coast-town feel with Midwestern roots. This unique cultural environment was cornerstone to the approach the library board and Morrison Kattman Menze, Inc. endeavored upon.
The accelerating collection growth and land-locked situation of the Culver- Union Township Public Library had reached a boiling point when the library board decided to move forward with expansion of its 4,000-square-foot Carnegie Library, circa 1910, to a planned 18,400- square-foot facility. The new library was planned to house triple the adult and children's collection space as well as providing future growth areas.
The design was created with the goal of saving the view of the original Carnegie Library on the three sides exposed to Main Street. This was accomplished by adding directly onto the west side of the original building, creating a small link from the south to the north halves, and a large mass of building on the north half of the site.
Saving the Carnegie Library was a must from the beginning. Its presence as a downtown anchor was publicly pronounced. The challenge was tying into a building of that age, maintaining as much as possible, and making any renovations to it invisible to the public eye. As the building was not on the Historic Register, some latitude was allowed, but the public's demand of maintaining the Carnegie was most important.
The Carnegie Building foundations were stabilized with additional concrete and reinforcement, as the original lower level walls were bowing and structurally unsound. The integral gutter/dentil/soffit work was replaced with custom matching pre-molded fiberglass.
Many of the construction materials and types were arrived upon for the sole purpose of maintaining the relatively minimal existing floor-to-floor heights throughout the building. One of the major components involved in making this possible was to utilize a precast, stress core floor - only 14-inches deep at the largest span - and a second was installing a new 4-pipe heating and cooling system that allowed decentralization of the air handling that kept large ductwork to a minimum.
The exterior material selections for the addition involved finding a brick blend that would complement the existing, yet identify itself as a new. A multitude of options were researched, and a Belden Blend was selected that performed the task. The roofing was planned to be a standing seam metal roof that could both accommodate a radiused roof as well as the existing hip roof, without becoming a focal point.
The true focus and gem of the building is the entry axis. The main entrance from the parking is on a raised platform, referring to history of the public prominence of the library and a place for higher learning. Upon entry the patron is thrust into a tall space that is rich in color with high, vaulted, wood ceilings and great expanses of light flooding in. At the far end of the hall the first floor to roof glazing system allows a view out to the new plaza, historic main street, and out to the lake a couple of blocks away.
From start to finish, the goal was to design and build a library that reflected this unique community's makeup . . . a historic town with progressive and worldly perspective. Maintaining an historic building while adding a warm, contemporary, large addition that would continue to anchor the north end of Main Street with the public prominence and presence a library should have.

Terry set to be dropped as Conte sticks to game plan
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte will continue with his 3-4-3 formation, which could be ominous for captain John Terry. After three successive Premier League wins and nine goals scored without reply, Chelsea lost 2-1 in the EFL Cup at West Ham on Wednesday.
Terry - who took to social media to celebrate the 18th anniversary of his Chelsea debut yesterday - was making his first appearance in more than six weeks following an ankle injury and in a three-man defence which has been alien to him.
He appeared rusty, was beaten in the air by Cheikhou Kouyate and was switched from the central position to the left of the three-man defence at half-time.
Chelsea play at Southampton tomorrow, with Conte poised to continue with his favoured system and Terry facing a likely return to the bench.
Conte said: "It's logical that John came back and it's not easy. I'm satisfied (with) him, (with) the team. John is an important player. I always have to take the best decision for the team, never for an individual player."

Digital Approaches to Genocide Studies
October 23-24, 2017
The USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research is welcoming registrations for its 2017 International Conference "Digital Approaches to Genocide Studies" that is co-sponsored by the USC Mellon Digital Humanities Program. International scholars from many disciplines will be gathering to examine the relationships between digital methodologies, practices, ethics and contemporary Holocaust and genocide studies. How can digital humanities shape, challenge, or complement contemporary genocide studies and vice versa? The conference will investigate the ways in which digital tools and methods, new media, and information technologies can help us to challenge conventional wisdom regarding Holocaust and Genocide Studies by raising new questions, improving our understanding, deepening our analysis, widening our field of view, or pioneering new approaches.
The conference will be held October 23-24, 2017, at the University of Southern California.
New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison
November 4-6, 2018
The USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research and the USC Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life invite proposals for their 2018 International Conference "New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison" that is being organized in cooperation with the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C., and the Center for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University Berlin, Germany. This conference, which convenes 80 years after the violent pogrom of 1938 against the Jews in Nazi Germany, aims to gather the most recent scholarship on the event itself. Conference presenters will explore the variety of responses to Kristallnacht within Germany, and in other parts of the world, as well as analyze comparisons of violent pogroms in world history. Thus, the conference shall help to situate this anti-Jewish pogrom in its close historical context, as well as in its place in world history.
The conference will be held November 4-6, 2018, at the University of Southern California.

Buying health insurance can be confusing and expensive. If you are a student, most universities and colleges offer student health insurance at a discount.
You should not fail to get a health insurance. Medical expenses can easily make you bankrupt in the US. In case of emergency, you will receive treatment. Afterwards, you will have to settle the medical bills if you do not have a health cover.
For longer-term insurance and if you are in good health, you may want a plan with the highest deductible, paying the lowest monthly premium.
If you will be without health insurance for only a few months, opt for high deductible, short-term coverage.
Foreign students in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) do not need health insurance. The National Health Service (NHS) provides treatment free.
You need to register in a clinic near your place of residence or the student clinic if you will be living in campus. If you are unwell, call up the clinic and set up an appointment.
You will need to budget for costs of prescription medication, which is not provided free.
However, all medication is charged at a standard rate of about £6.50. If you need a number of drugs after a hospital visit, doctors will normally put all of them in one prescription. That way, you only pay £6.50 for all the medication.
Dentists can treat both private and NHS patients. You should look for an NHS dentist. An NHS dentist will charge you about £15 per visit. You will be charged more if you need a tooth pulled out or extra work done. However, total costs are unlikely to exceed £40.

Okay then, the question now becomes, What do I do with that much storage? Who needs it? Who wants it?
Well, quite a few people in fact. Very large data warehouses are already providing significant return on investment to the companies using them. In today's world, competitive advantage comes not from differences in prices and products, but from having more detailed information about your customers and potential customers than the competition does.
The companies that do the best job will be the winners: "retail is detail" as "they" say. Technology has given companies the power to collect detailed data in quantities (hundreds of terabytes already, and a petabyte isn't be far in the future) and deploy it in time frames (seconds) that once would have seemed possible only in science fiction. To search and deploy such huge volumes of data so quickly, scalability is crucial.
Scalability is the ability to add more processing power to a hardware configuration and have a linearly proportional increase in performance. Or, looked at another way, it is the ability to add hardware to store and process increasingly larger volumes of data (or increasingly complex queries or increasingly larger numbers of concurrent queries) without any degradation in performance. A poor design or product deployment does just the opposite: it causes performance to deteriorate faster than data size grows.
Scientific institutions, such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, have been working with massive amounts of data (hundreds of terabytes) for hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations for decades. They have often custom developed the programs, operating systems, and compilers to exploit scalable hardware for these purposes.
However, companies such as SBC and others have brought this capability into the mainstream with commercial systems capable of harnessing hundreds of top-of-the-line Intel CPUs with many hundreds of gigabytes of addressable memory and hundreds of terabytes of disk space all supporting a single, integrated database.
So, what's involved in successfully designing and deploying such a system? True scalability has four dimensions:
Dimension One: Handling the Size
Every day businesses gather staggering amounts of data that can be used to support key business applications and enterprise decision-making. Meanwhile, the price per megabyte is falling. Yet the question remains: does the extra data add enough value to justify the expense of storing it?
It does if businesses can efficiently retrieve richly detailed answers to strategic and tactical business queries.
Assume, for example, a multinational bank wants to score the lifetime value of its customers in one key customer segment. If the database still uses a serial approach to data processing, such a query could bog down the system. In contrast, by using a divide and conquer approach with massive amounts of data, through deployment of parallel technology and a "shared nothing" architecture, answers to key business questions arrive more quickly and more reliably. That's where quantifiable business value begins.
