Open Funding Solicitation
In 2009, ARPA-E issued an open call for the most revolutionary energy technologies to form the agency's inaugural program. The first open solicitation was open to ideas from all energy areas and focused on funding projects already equipped with strong research and development plans for their potentially high-impact technologies. The projects chosen received a level of financial support that could accelerate technical progress and catalyze additional investment from the private sector. After only 2 months, ARPA-E's investment in these projects catalyzed an additional $33 million in investments. In response to ARPA-E's first open solicitation, more than 3,700 concept papers flooded into the new agency, which were thoroughly reviewed by a team of 500 scientists and engineers in just 6 months. In the end, 36 projects were selected as ARPA-E's first award recipients, receiving $176 million in federal funding.

1366 Technologies, Inc.
Direct Wafer: Enabling Terawatt Photovoltaics
1366 Technologies is developing a process to reduce the cost of solar electricity by up to 50% by 2020--from $0.15 per kilowatt hour to less than $0.07. 1366's process avoids the costly step of slicing a large block of silicon crystal into wafers, which turns half the silicon to dust. Instead, the company is producing thin wafers directly from molten silicon at industry-standard sizes, and with efficiencies that compare favorably with today's state-of-the-art technologies. 1366's wafers could directly replace wafers currently on the market, so there would be no interruptions to the delivery of these products to market. As a result of 1366's technology, the cost of silicon wafers could be reduced by 80%.
Conditionally Activated Enzymes Expressed in Cellulosic Energy Crops
Enzymes are required to break plant biomass down into the fermentable sugars that are used to create biofuel. Currently, costly enzymes must be added to the biofuel production process. Engineering crops to already contain these enzymes will reduce costs and produce biomass that is more easily digested. In fact, enzyme costs alone account for $0.50-$0.75/gallon of the cost of a biomass-derived biofuel like ethanol. Agrivida is genetically engineering plants to contain high concentrations of enzymes that break down cell walls. These enzymes can be "switched on" after harvest so they won't damage the plant while it's growing.
Algaeventure Systems
Scaling and Commercialization of Algae Harvesting Technologies
Led by CEO Ross Youngs, Algaeventure Systems (AVS) has patented a cost-effective dewatering technology that separates micro-solids (algae) from water. Separating micro-solids from water traditionally requires a centrifuge, which uses significant energy to spin the water mass and force materials of different densities to separate from one another. In a comparative analysis, dewatering 1 ton of algae in a centrifuge costs around $3,400. AVS's Solid-Liquid Separation (SLS) system is less energy-intensive and less expensive, costing $1.92 to process 1 ton of algae. The SLS technology uses capillary dewatering with filter media to gently facilitate water separation, leaving behind dewatered algae which can then be used as a source for biofuels and bio-products. The biomimicry of the SLS technology emulates the way plants absorb and spread water to their capillaries.
Arizona State University
Sustainable, High-Energy Density, Low-Cost Electrochemical Energy Storage - Metal-Air Ionic Liquid (MAIL) Batteries
Arizona State University (ASU) is developing a new class of metal-air batteries. Metal-air batteries are promising for future generations of EVs because they use oxygen from the air as one of the battery's main reactants, reducing the weight of the battery and freeing up more space to devote to energy storage than Li-Ion batteries. ASU technology uses Zinc as the active metal in the battery because it is more abundant and affordable than imported lithium. Metal-air batteries have long been considered impractical for EV applications because the water-based electrolytes inside would decompose the battery interior after just a few uses. Overcoming this traditional limitation, ASU's new battery system could be both cheaper and safer than today's Li-Ion batteries, store from 4-5 times more energy, and be recharged over 2,500 times.
Arizona State University
Cyanobacteria Designed for Solar-Powered Highly Efficient Production of Biofuels
Arizona State University (ASU) is engineering a type of photosynthetic bacteria that efficiently produce fatty acids--a fuel precursor for biofuels. This type of bacteria, called Synechocystis, is already good at converting solar energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) into a type of fatty acid called lauric acid. ASU has modified the organism so it continuously converts sunlight and CO2 into fatty acids--overriding its natural tendency to use solar energy solely for cell growth and maximizing the solar-to-fuel conversion process. ASU's approach is different because most biofuels research focuses on increasing cellular biomass and not on excreting fatty acids. The project has also identified a unique way to convert the harvested lauric acid into a fuel that can be easily blended with existing transportation fuels.
Bio Architecture Lab
Macroalgae Butanol
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont) and Bio Architecture Lab are exploring the commercial viability of producing fuel-grade isobutanol from macroalgae (seaweed). Making macroalgae an attractive substrate for biofuel applications however, will require continued technology development. Assuming these developments are successful, initial assessments suggest macroalgae aquafarming in our oceans has the potential to produce a feedstock with cost in the same range as terrestrial-based substrates (crop residuals, energy crops) and may be the feedstock of choice in some locations. The use of macroalgae also diversifies the sources of U.S. biomass in order to provide more options in meeting demand for biofuels. The process being developed will use a robust industrial biocatalyst (microorganism) capable of converting macroalgal-derived sugars directly into isobutanol. Biobutanol is an advanced biofuel with significant advantages over ethanol, including higher energy content, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and the ability to be blended in gasoline at higher levels than ethanol without changes to existing automobiles or the fuel industry infrastructure. Butamax is currently commercializing DuPont's biobutanol fermentation technology that uses sugar and starch feedstocks.
Ceres, Inc.
High Biomass, Low Input Dedicated Energy Crops to Enable a Full Scale Bioenergy Industry
Ceres is developing bigger and better grasses for use in biofuels. The bigger the grass yield, the more biomass, and more biomass means more biofuel per acre. Using biotechnology, Ceres is developing grasses that will grow bigger with less fertilizer than current grass varieties. Hardier, higher-yielding grass also requires less land to grow and can be planted in areas where other crops can't grow instead of in prime agricultural land. Ceres is conducting multi-year trials in Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia which have already resulted in grass yields with as much as 50% more biomass than yields from current grass varieties.
Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC
Gallium-Nitride Advanced Power Semiconductor and Packaging
Delphi Automotive Systems is developing power converters that are smaller and more energy efficient, reliable, and cost-effective than current power converters. Power converters rely on power transistors which act like a very precisely controlled on-off switch, controlling the electrical energy flowing through an electrical circuit. Most power transistors today use silicon (Si) semiconductors. However, Delphi is using semiconductors made with a thin layer of gallium-nitride (GaN) applied on top of the more conventional Si material. The GaN layer increases the energy efficiency of the power transistor and also enables the transistor to operate at much higher temperatures, voltages, and power-density levels compared to its Si counterpart. Delphi is packaging these high-performance GaN semiconductors with advanced electrical connections and a cooling system that extracts waste heat from both sides of the device to further increase the device's efficiency and allow more electrical current to flow through it. When combined with other electronic components on a circuit board, Delphi's GaN power transistor package will help improve the overall performance and cost-effectiveness of HEVs and EVs.
Planar Sodium-Beta Batteries for Renewable Integration and Grid Applications
EaglePicher Technologies is developing a sodium-beta alumina (Na-Beta) battery for grid-scale energy storage. High-temperature Na-Beta batteries are a promising grid-scale energy storage technology, but existing approaches are expensive and unreliable. EaglePicher has modified the shape of the traditional, tubular-shaped Na-Beta battery. It is using an inexpensive stacked design to improve performance at lower temperatures, leading to a less expensive overall storage technology. The new design greatly simplifies the manufacturing process for beta alumina membranes (a key enabling technology), providing a subsequent pathway to the production of scalable, modular batteries at half the cost of the existing tubular designs.
Envia Systems
High Energy Density Lithium Batteries
In a battery, metal ions move between the electrodes through the electrolyte in order to store energy. Envia Systems is developing new silicon-based negative electrode materials for Li-Ion batteries. Using this technology, Envia will be able to produce commercial EV batteries that outperform today's technology by 2-3 times. Many other programs have attempted to make anode materials based on silicon, but have not been able to produce materials that can withstand charge/discharge cycles multiple times. Envia has been able to make this material which can successfully cycle hundreds of times, on a scale that is economically viable. Today, Envia's batteries exhibit world-record energy densities.
Exelus, Inc.
Upgrading Refinery Off-Gas to High-Octane Alkylate
Exelus is developing a method to convert olefins from oil refinery exhaust gas into alkylate, a clean-burning, high-octane component of gasoline. Traditionally, olefins must be separated from exhaust before they can be converted into another source of useful fuel. Exelus' process uses catalysts that convert the olefin to alkylate without first separating it from the exhaust. The ability to turn up to 50% of exhaust directly into gasoline blends could result in an additional 46 million gallons of gasoline in the U.S. each year.
FastCAP Systems Corp.
Low-Cost, High Energy and Power Density, Nanotube-Enhanced Ultracapacitors
FastCAP Systems is improving the performance of an ultracapacitor--a battery-like electronic device that can complement, and possibly even replace, an HEV or EV battery pack. Ultracapacitors have many advantages over conventional batteries, including long lifespans (over 1 million cycles, as compared to 10,000 for conventional batteries) and better durability. Ultracapacitors also charge more quickly than conventional batteries, and they release energy more quickly. However, ultracapacitors have fallen short of batteries in one key metric: energy density--high energy density means more energy storage. FastCAP is redesigning the ultracapacitor's internal structure to increase its energy density. Ultracapacitors traditionally use electrodes made of irregularly shaped, porous carbon. FastCAP's ultracapacitors are made of tiny, aligned carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes provide a regular path for ions moving in and out of the ultracapacitor's electrode, increasing the overall efficiency and energy density of the device.
FloDesign Wind Turbine Corp.
Breakthrough High-Efficiency Shrouded Wind Turbine
FloDesign's innovative wind turbine, inspired by the design of jet engines, could deliver 300% more power than existing wind turbines of the same rotor diameter by extracting more energy over a larger area. FloDesign's unique shrouded design expands the wind capture area, and the mixing vortex downstream allows more energy to flow through the rotor without stalling the turbine. The unique rotor and shrouded design also provide significant opportunity for mass production and simplified assembly, enabling mid-scale turbines (approximately 100 kW) to produce power at a cost that is comparable to larger-scale conventional turbines.
Foro Energy, Inc.
Low-Contact Drilling Technology to Enable Economical EGS Wells
Foro Energy is developing a unique capability and hardware system to transmit high power lasers over long distances via fiber optic cables. This laser power is integrated with a mechanical drilling bit to enable rapid and sustained penetration of hard rock formations too costly to drill with mechanical drilling bits alone. The laser energy that is directed at the rock basically softens the rock, allowing the mechanical bit to more easily remove it. Foro Energy's laser-assisted drill bits have the potential to be up to 10 times more economical than conventional hard-rock drilling technologies, making them an effective way to access the U.S. energy resources currently locked under hard rock formations.
General Electric
Transformational Nanostructured Permanent Magnets
General Electric (GE) Global Research is using nanomaterials technology to develop advanced magnets that contain fewer rare earth materials than their predecessors. Nanomaterials technology involves manipulating matter at the atomic or molecular scale, which can represent a stumbling block for magnets because it is difficult to create a finely grained magnet at that scale. GE is developing bulk magnets with finely tuned structures using iron-based mixtures that contain 80% less rare earth materials than traditional magnets, which will reduce their overall cost. These magnets will enable further commercialization of HEVs, EVs, and wind turbine generators while enhancing U.S. competitiveness in industries that heavily utilize these alternatives to rare earth minerals.
General Motors
Lightweight Thermal Energy Recovery (LIGHTER) System
General Motors (GM) is using shape memory alloys that require as little as a 10°C temperature difference to convert low-grade waste heat into mechanical energy. When a stretched wire made of shape memory alloy is heated, it shrinks back to its pre-stretched length. When the wire cools back down, it becomes more pliable and can revert to its original stretched shape. This expansion and contraction can be used directly as mechanical energy output or used to drive an electric generator. Shape memory alloy heat engines have been around for decades, but the few devices that engineers have built were too complex, required fluid baths, and had insufficient cycle life for practical use. GM is working to create a prototype that is practical for commercial applications and capable of operating with either air- or fluid-based heat sources. GM's shape memory alloy based heat engine is also designed for use in a variety of non-vehicle applications. For example, it can be used to harvest non-vehicle heat sources, such as domestic and industrial waste heat and natural geothermal heat, and in HVAC systems and generators.
Inorganic Specialists, Inc.
Silicon-Coated Nanofiber Paper as a Lithium-Ion Anode
Inorganic Specialists' project consists of material and manufacturing development for a new type of Li-Ion battery material, a silicon-coated paper. Silicon-based batteries are advantageous due to silicon's ability to store large amounts of energy. Yet, the technology has not been able to withstand multiple charge/discharge cycles. The thinner the silicon-based material, the better it can handle multiple charge/discharge cycles. Inorganic Specialists' extremely thin silicon-coated paper can store 4 times more energy than existing Li-Ion batteries. The team is improving manufacturing capability in two key areas: 1) expanding existing papermaking equipment to continuously produce the silicon-coated paper, and 2) creating machinery that will silicon-coat the paper via a moving process, to demonstrate manufacturing feasibility. These manufacturing improvements could meet the energy storage criteria required for multiple charge/discharge cycles. Inorganic Specialists' silicon-coated paper's properties have the potential to make it a practical, cost-effective transformative Li-Ion battery material.
Iowa State University
A Genetically Tractable Microalgal Platform for Advanced Biofuel Production
Iowa State University (ISU) is genetically engineering a species of aquatic microalgae called Chlamydomonas for more energy efficient conversion of sunlight and carbon dioxide to biofuels. Current microalgae genetic technologies are imprecise and hinder the rapid engineering of a variety of desirable traits into Chlamydomonas. In the absence of genetic engineering, it remains unlikely that current microalgae technologies for biofuel production will be able to economically compete with traditional fossil fuels. ISU is developing a portfolio of technologies for rapid genetic modification and breeding that will enable greater flexibility for genetic modification on a routine basis. The ISU project will optimize microalgae breeding and genetic engineering to develop efficient, large-scale industrial biofuel production.
ITN Energy Systems, Inc.
Low-Cost Electrochromic Film on Plastic for Net-Zero Energy Building
ITN Energy Systems is addressing the high cost of electrochromic windows with a new manufacturing process: roll-to-roll deposition of the film onto flexible plastic surfaces. Production of electrochromic films on plastic requires low processing temperatures and uniform film quality over large surface areas. ITN is overcoming these challenges using its previous experience in growing flexible thin-film solar cells and batteries. By developing sensor-based controls, ITN's roll-to-roll manufacturing process yields more film over a larger area than traditional film deposition methods. Evaluating deposition processes from a control standpoint ultimately strengthens the ability for ITN to handle unanticipated deviations quickly and efficiently, enabling more consistent large-volume production. The team is currently moving from small-scale prototypes into pilot-scale production to validate roll-to-roll manufacturability and produce scaled prototypes that can be proven in simulated operating conditions. Electrochromic plastic films could also open new markets in building retrofit applications, vastly expanding the potential energy savings.

One word for Jodi is – Dedicated! Meeting up with Jodi Guber was fun. I was able to shop her line Beyond Yoga, find cute pants (that are in the pic of us doing crescent pose but you can barely see them.. check her site for sweet goodies) and talk about Gratitude, who we are on and off the mat, and what this moment offers us. We even have an interruption from her fiance (giving us 10min warning) which brings life and reality right there in an urban yogini's lifestyle. * Fun note I didnt know till I saw an issue how humble of her : Jodi was one of Paper Magazines Beautiful People for 2006..

Heirloom Tomato Flognarde
June 19, 2009
A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins.
~Laurie Colwin
A curious word for a dish: flognarde. Sounds like some form of physiological aberration or flagelum, even a particular variety of birch rod. But, I do like the way it rolls off the tongue. The "gn" like oignon, agneau or bagnoire followed by the letter "r" which is arguably one of the more difficult consonants to properly articulate in the French tongue.
Last weekend I learned that heirlooms will be making their seasonal opening act at the local farmers' market on Saturday. That not only brought a smile, but it signaled the beginning of a long stretch of culinary ecstasy and sounded a change in daily eating habits. While we do lack an ocean or mountains—something that becomes unnerving at times—we do have a tomato season which is worthy of worship.
Handed down for generations, Cherokee Purples, Green Zebras, Brandywines et. al.,…these tomatoes are heirloom plants, which are open pollinated (non-hybrid) cultivars. Heirloom varieties have been commonly grown during earlier periods in human history, but were eschewed by modern agribusiness. The relatively recent revival of these jewels at city markets has been nothing less than a blessing. They possess a rich tapestry of colors, coupled with a diversity and depth of flavors that is tough to match in the food world.
2 lbs ripe multihued heirloom tomatoes, cored, seeded, peeled and quartered
3 large organic, free range eggs
2 large organic, free range egg yolks
1/3 C heavy whipping cream
1/3 C gruyère, grated
1/3 C parmigiano reggiano, grated
1 t fresh rosemary, stemmed and finely chopped
1 t fresh thyme, stemmed and finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 375 F
Drain the tomatoes on paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Make sure they are fully free of juices before proceeding. In a bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, cream, and half of the cheeses and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and whisk together. Layer the tomatoes in a baking dish, then cover with the batter. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and herbs.
Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Resource scarcity is one of the major factors impacting energy transformation and must be factored into the power generation process, according to a new report.
The study by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) found that resource scarcity and climate change were among the key factors affecting water.
"Resource scarcity and climate change has a major effect on water. For example, physical water scarcity is not only going to be in Egypt by 2025 but will also be, according to research, in Malawi, Rwanda and in South Africa," Africa power and utilities leader Angeli Hoekstra said.
"Due to that, we need to look at the way we generate electricity. We see that most of middle Africa is dependent on hydropower – you need to have a more balanced type of electricity mix in those types of countries." she added.
Social change
Meanwhile the study also derided South Africa for the use coal power generation as this uses a lot of water in the process.
Some of the other global factors affecting the energy industry include demographic and social changes, a shift in global economic power, rapid urbanisation and technological breakthroughs, the report found.
The study also emphasised the fact that new market models and new business models will become established as a result of energy transformation.

UPDATE 6/14/2019, 1pm ET: The World Health Organization's Emergency Committee met today to discuss the spread of Ebola outbreak and declared (for the third time) that the ongoing outbreak does not constitute a "public health emergency of international concern" or PHEIC. It is an emergency for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region, but does not meet the criteria for an international public health emergency, the committee concluded. Original story from 6/13/2019 follows.
Local and international health officials are scrambling to smother a flare-up of Ebola in Uganda, which spread this week from a massive, months-long outbreak in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo. The outbreak has sickened 2,084 and killed 1,405 since last August.
Uganda announced its first case stemming from the outbreak on Tuesday, June 11. The case was in a 5-year-old Congolese boy who traveled across the border with family a few days earlier. The Ugandan Health Ministry reported shortly after that the boy succumbed to his infection the morning of June 12. Two of his family members also tested positive by that time: the boys 50-year-old grandmother and his 3-year-old brother.
Today, June 13, the Ministry announced that the grandmother had also passed. In an urgent meeting over the situation, officials from Uganda and the DRC mutually decided to send the remaining family back to the DRC. That includes the 3-year-old boy with a confirmed case, as well as the mother, father, a 6-month-old sibling, and their maid. Health officials noted that the latter four family members are all considered "suspected cases."
With the infected 3-year-old back in the DRC, there are zero confirmed cases currently in Uganda, health officials said. However, there are three people unrelated to the family who had contact with the deceased 5-year-old and are now considered suspected cases. They are being held in isolation at an Ebola Treatment Unit in the western Ugandan town of Bwera. It sits at the border with DRC and is where the 5-year-old was being treated.
Officials have identified 27 others who had contact with either the deceased boy or the suspected cases.
As such, Uganda remains in "Ebola response mode," the ministry said. The DRC donated 400 doses of Ebola vaccine, and Ugandan responders plan to begin ring-vaccinations on Friday, June 14. This effort aims to immunize case contacts and contacts-of-contacts to try to strategically thwart the spread of the disease. The World Health Organization flew in 4,000 additional doses of vaccine, which is 97.5 percent effective, according to preliminary daRead More – Source

I am using UnityEngine.UI and EventSystem
how can we check if button is highlighted? (not using OnPointer because I am not using mouse control)
is it possible to just have 1 script manager for entire button condition? (I've seen some answers that gives script on each button to check individual OnPointer) , might be an index or something, but I can't find how to refer UI button in index.
should I ditch UI and use manual array for MenuIndex and do each button script based on index? I think UI is neat , but if it's Impossible to achieve my need , I might consider to not use default UI Button and others.
Thank you for any future response.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed album 'Enki', Ashmedi – the founder of Jerusalem-based metal icons MELECHESH – has been engaged in a new adventure. This time, not as a producer, but as a protagonist of an epic, interactive graphic novel featuring MELECHESH and the Sumerian myths.
Emerging comic book and graphic novel company Metal Depot – whose mission it is to envisage the lyrics, life, and music of the bands they love and turn them into exciting visual stories – have been tirelessly working alongside Ashmedi on the creation of this book since summer 2016. Now, the 130-page epic is ready to unleash the wrath of awoken gods, bringing mayhem on the land of mortals. The graphic novel, entitled Emissary of the Anunnaki: The Tale of the Fire King, will be released on July 1, 2018.
What makes Emissary of the Anunnaki: The Tale of the Fire King even more unique is its interactive online version, located at www.md-comics.com, that will allow readers to have a direct impact on the story and help the characters make choices in different situations. The online version will pose challenges to the reader – meaning certain pages will only be unlocked with the solving of said challenges. Certain pages will allow you to choose how characters progress, and some will even allow you to become that character and take part in battles!
An audio version of the book will also be available, where the readers can hear the dialogues – even featuring our protagonist himself, Ashmedi – the representatives of different generations of rock and metal musicians in Armenia, and professional actors as the secondary characters.
Last week, Metal Depot revealed the first official teaser of the graphic novel via www.md-comics.com. Subscription is open now for those who want to be informed as soon as the epic book is released. Pre-orders are available now through the official Emissary of the Anunnaki: The Tale of the Fire King Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with early-bird rates and limited edition of special merchandise.

It's been a long time since I posted a blog post. I couldn't spend time on this as I had to focus on academics and PayUOC too. Never mind. I have started writing blog posts again with this income report.
Some important updates to look at.
Table of Contents
Shutting down Quotes Drive and Science Savvy:
I had to shut down both these subdomains because I don't get any traffic over there and they consume storage in my hosting. As a part of cleaning my hosting, I shut them down on October 10, 2018.
Good Bye!
Why did I have these two blogs for so long?
These two blogs just depicted my interests for sharing quotes and science-related articles. But, I realized that my major interest is only towards writing about blogging, affiliate marketing, etc. So, I decided to focus only on this.
Now, let's look at an opportunity to monetize your blog.
Adsy: A platform for sell paid guest posts:
You might have heard this cliché a hundred times,
Guest Posting is the best way to get dofollow backlinks for your website
For website owners, it is not only an opportunity to get new content, but also a source of income.
But, how can website owners earn with guest posts?
Have you heard about paid guest posts?
You might be aware that it is free of cost to submit your guest post to OnlineRockersHub. But, not all websites are free to submit a guest post. Some bloggers charge for accepting guest articles on their website.
Could you imagine it is still a win-win situation for both advertisers and website owners?
Because the advertiser gets a dofollow backlink and the website owner has generated a revenue out of his website.
But, how to find advertisers for your guest post?
Adsy is a platform that will help you find advertisers for your paid guest post opportunities. Joining at Adsy is completely free. So, why are you still waiting for?

Next comes my learning part.
The Affiliate Marketing Funnel – Udemy Course:
Recently, I completed a Udemy course, "The Affiliate Marketing Funnel" by Nathan Williams. This is a free Udemy course. So, you can also enroll in this course.
What does this course teach?
This course isn't a complete affiliate marketing package from basics. Instead, it gives you a blueprint on where to get your targeted visitors for affiliate marketing and how to create an affiliate funnel to sell your affiliate product.
Looks useful right. I have got more free Udemy courses for you.
Free Udemy courses:

Traffic Report for October 2018:
The screenshot below is the audience overview of OnlineRockersHub for October 2018.
The traffic remains stable just like every other month. Next, we will see where does the traffic come from?
It is interesting to note the major traffic is coming from Medium. This traffic contributes more than organic traffic.
But, what do I do at Medium?
I just reshare all my existing articles at Medium to promote the current blog post. One of those articles at Medium has got a good ranking at a search engine and that's why I am getting more traffic here.
Do you use Medium?
Then follow @onlinerockershub to read my posts at Medium.
Next, we will see the blogging income and expense for October 2018.

Finding a go-to salon can prove difficult, but what if the salon had the added bonus of being affordable and helping young cosmetologists gain valuable experience? Shears of Steele, a full-service salon in Northwest ISD's Steele Accelerated High School, offers just that.
Located in downtown Roanoke at 606 N. Walnut St., Shears of Steele is home to dozens of students hoping to obtain their cosmetology licenses, along with two certified instructors with decades of experience in the profession. To provide students with real-world experience, inexpensive haircuts and other cosmetology services are offered with instructor oversight.
The salon currently serves about 50 clients a week with its offerings, though it can handle much more. Many of those clients are routine customers who pre-book appointments
Heather Fowler, a cosmetology instructor at the school, said clients are understanding that the salon serves as a learning environment, but she stressed that her students do a good job and are under expert supervision.
"It's a really positive experience for everyone – our clients are very supportive of our students and are patient with them, and they specify exactly what they want, which helps our students gain experience," she said. "We see a lot of different types of people. We have older clients who we sometimes move into more modern looks, which they love, and we get both men's and women's cuts."
Ms. Fowler previously taught at the collegiate level, which largely had the same curriculum as the one Steele students learn, since cosmetology standards are set by the state. That, she said, gives Steele students an upper hand when they graduate, as they come out of high school with a wealth of experience without the burden of college debt.
Steele senior Kyla Harwell said the experience she's gained at Steele helped her obtain a receptionist job at a local salon that she hopes will lead to a stylist job after graduating.
"Steele has a really fun environment, and the people here are awesome," Kyla said. "My favorite thing to do so far has been hair coloring. You get a lot of different age groups with hair coloring – some people just want to go with natural hair, while others want to do fun, crazy hair. It's a lot of fun to get that experience. I've helped out some friends with it here, and I love watching the stylists at my job and learn from that."
Most Steele cosmetology students agreed that coloring is the most fun aspect of learning their hair-styling skills, but they added that meeting and interacting with clients is also a major benefit of their desired profession.
Ms. Fowler said Shears of Steele's clients are a large part of what makes its educational environment so pleasing.
"The people that come in to support us are amazing," she said. "This community is fantastic – we have area people come in along with staff and friends and family of students. We definitely feel a lot of support, and it helps students grow and feel confident in their education."
Shears of Steele has seen that tremendous community support since it opened in 2013. As a way of repaying the community for its backing, Steele cosmetology students annually provide free haircuts at the Northwest ISD Back-to-School Fair as well as prom haircuts at a local church for students who may not have the funds to afford a typical big-event haircut.
Robin Ellis, principal of Steele, said all these activities – from working in the salon to providing free haircuts to give back to the community – provide students with the experience they need to be successful.
"It really brings the real-life relevancy that students need in order to transfer what they're learning here into a job," she said. "Several of our graduates are employed at area salons, even around here in Roanoke. One of our first graduates actually cuts my hair, so I can personally vouch for the type of learning they get here."
While the experience of working with clients is an important benefit of the salon, Ms. Fowler said the best aspect is the dedication students display in their work.
"Students know when they come down here they're going to learn and have fun all at the same time," Ms. Fowler said. "I see a sense of relief sometimes when they get to cosmetology. They find an outlet for stress in the work that they do, because they're creative and passionate about what they do."

Need a tutor? YouTube videos awaitWhen University of Central Florida junior Nicole Nissim got stumped in trigonometry, she checked out what was showing on YouTube.
Nissim typically scours the video-sharing website for clips of bands and comedy skits. But this time she wasn't there to procrastinate on her homework. It turned out YouTube was also full of math videos. After watching a couple, the psychology major says, she finally understood trig equations and how to make graphs.| 0 Comments

THE INTERNET, CA - MGAWC.com is super easy to update, so you should go there first when looking for any updates this week. I will also be putting information out on our twitter which is @mediocregolf. Those of you who actually use twitter will probably notice this is the only time of year where I directly type anything original into Twitter.
If you follow those two mediums you're going to have a really hard time being out of the loop this week. I'm not saying you can't pull it off, but it'll be a challenge! You can even choose to "follow" the MGAWC.com site and you'll get emails when I post something. Not only that, if you save that site to the home screen on your phone you'll get a beautiful tile with the MGAWC logo on it!
MGAtour.com is going dark. See you on the other side!
El Presidente
p.s. I'll be posting a lot to the story on the MGA's Instagram account as well, but all vital info will be on the sites listed above.

The New Yorker
[Ed. Note: Obviously the New Yorker and Kormann are far left and don't understand that transparency and sound science are the cornerstones of developing sound regulations. The 'public health' argument is a straw man with no basis in fact.]
"Today is a red-letter day, a banner day," Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Tuesday afternoon. A few moments later, he signed a controversial rule proposal titled "Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science." The document stipulates that when E.P.A. employees develop new policies on, say, toxic chemicals or fine-particle pollution (also known as soot) they must rely only on research whose underlying data has been made available to the general public. "The science that we use is going to be transparent, it's going to be reproducible, it's going to be analyzed by those in the marketplace, and those that watch what we do can make informed decisions about whether we've drawn the proper conclusions or not," Pruitt said…
Perhaps the happiest guest at Pruitt's event on Tuesday was Steve Milloy, a lawyer who served on President Trump's E.P.A. transition team and who has proclaimed himself the intellectual architect of the secret-science rule. "I've been working on this for twenty years," he told me. "Steve Milloy wins! Yay!" During our conversation, Milloy repeatedly mentioned those early air-pollution studies—Dockery's and others. "Where is the data?" he asked, as if the question remained unresolved. He said that he still finds the link between air pollution and shorter life expectancy "extremely dubious," and called scientists who have published papers on the subject "liars," "frauds," and "pure evil."

I've been back in the UK for just over three months now, and I'm still met with incredulous looks when I tell people that this was a conscious life decision. "But why?" They ask. Why would I come back here?
Well, not that this glorious British summer that we're having wasn't worth coming back for in itself, something weird happened over this last year. It was a slow, insidious process, but I think I grew up. I didn't realise what was happening at first, but hanging washing to dry on electrical wires on my scorching hot roof in the caribbean wind started to frustrate me, and then six months later, trying to dry my underwear clipped to the bindings of my snowboard propped up against a borrowed electrical heater was the final straw.
The dirty haired hippies and ski bums that I used to think were the coolest started to bore me, and the people I would envy in hostel conversations were the ones who had interesting jobs to go home to. I found myself cornering the girl at the beach party who had a copy-writing job with Nike (turns out she just knew someone who got her the job) and yawning at yet another hot Aussie who had quit his job to travel the world. I started to crave the little comforts in life that everyone takes for granted. A wardrobe, a hairdryer, water that wasn't infested with worms.
While I've always chased this nomad life, being (physically at least) stable in Colombia for ten months showed me that I was ready to put down some roots. Even though my dream of making a living from my writing on the road was starting to become a reality, I realised that I wanted more. I also realised that I had too much animosity towards the selfie-stick wielding millennial travel-blogger to enthusiastically join their ranks.
Kiki's Cafe started as a way for me to document my travels and to showcase my work. The name came from my obsession with cafe culture, and the desire to reflect certain elements of this on my blog: sharing recipes, stories and a sense of community. I never had a conscious intention of opening a cafe, 13 year old, snobby Kiki used to tell customers at her mum's cafe that she would do something far more important with her life. But when the opportunity arose, I realised that it had been something I've been gravitating towards for the last few years.
I've never been the type of traveller to take a coffee flask or a packed lunch, even if it's wildly beyond my means I always considered eating out to be an integral part of the experience. And now I'm excited to be able to offer that experience to other travellers, and more importantly, to locals. Part of my vision with Caffi Kiki is to bring food from all over the world back to my little Welsh hometown. For people who are itching to get out there and taste the world to have a little preview, under my roof of maps.
I want my physical cafe to bring together all the elements that I was striving for with my blog, to build a community around eating healthily, sharing tastes from around the world, and keeping up some kind of cultural exchange. I'm planning on hosting different theme nights, language clubs and sporting events. And taking over the world, obviously.
In all seriousness, putting roots down has been harder than I ever imagined, and karma has got me back for years of insta-bragging, I can barely scroll through my feed without wanting to jump on a plane. Luckily for me, work has drained me of the energy to do even that. While I've got huge ambitions for the business, I've realised that it takes more hours than I can physically stay awake for just to do the bare minimum. I may have finally got that wardrobe, but my clothes are locked in a chair-floor-washing-machine cycle, and drying my hair feels like more of a luxury than ever.
The biggest irony, however, is that I actually thought going home and starting a business would bring me stability! I can say with more confidence now than ever that I have no idea what the next three months will bring!

City of Williamsburg, VAHome Menu
Board of Equalization
Board of Equalization's Duties and Responsibilities
The Board of Equalization is a 5 member citizen panel, recommended by City Council and appointed by the Circuit Court. By law, Board of Equalization members must be property owners in the City of Williamsburg.
The Board's primary and foremost concern is the equalization of real estate assessments to ensure that the real estate tax is borne equally by all. The Board of Equalization is a quasi-judicial body with specific legal powers, but limited in scope. That is to say that it has considerable powers in the matter of equalizing the burden of real estate taxation but has no other legal authority.
The General Assembly, in the 1979 session, amended Section 58.1-3374, Code of Virginia, to require that members of the Board of Equalization attend and participate in a basic course of instruction offered by the Virginia Department of Taxation.

Hey friends, it's the first Saturday of the month so here's another #UltimateCoffeeDate chat to get us all caught up about what we've been doing lately. Thanks to Lynda, Coco, and Deborah for hosting this awesome blog link-up!
Ok, here goes…Let's imagine ourselves sitting down at a quirky, hipster-meets-vintage-library cafe down a small side street in urban London. I'd probably order a small mocha — who can't resist mixing coffee with cocoa? — and maybe a blueberry muffin to go with it.
Now, while we catch up over coffee, I'd like to share…
That I've started running! Albeit very slowly. I'm mixing short bursts of running and walking to gently adjust my body to running using a C25K app. After taking that first step, I feel pretty great knowing I'm investing in my body's health.
Secondly, I'd like to share…
That I've come to realization that the last eight months have been the most challenging of my life.
When I initially pictured life halfway across the world in England, I didn't expect each day to bring sunshine and roses per se. But I also hadn't expected to be thrust out of my comfort zone in so many ways. From missing home, to dealing with health issues, and questioning life decisions, it's been a complete whirlwind.
However, now that I'm in the homestretch of my studies, I can look back and see that what I've accomplished so far was pretty terrific. I'm well on my way to having spent an entire year in a different country, interacting with a unique culture, and ultimately learning more about myself as a person than I probably would have done if I'd stayed in California right after graduating.
Lastly, I'd like to share…
I recently discovered the delicious goodness of homemade baked sweet potato fries. And I'm addicted. Throw the slices together with some coconut oil, sea salt, black pepper and paprika and bake for a healthy, tasty side dish.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a very rewarding month. It's officially summer! Go out and make the most of the sun, wherever you may be.

The cities are the centres of large scale economic activities and promise bucketful of employment. The rural folks in India migrate to the cities mainly for employment sake and improve upon their standard of living. Earlier the metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata used to attract rural population. But now with the overall development going in high gear, the shift has started towards Tier-II and Tier-III cities as well. Due to the constant influx of the rural population in the cities, the urban population and problems are on the rise. Sandeep Sharma takes a look at the Smart Cities mission which is being implemented by the Government of India across 100 cities.
With the rapid urbanisation, the opportunities are growing leaps and bounds. Due to urbanisation, the need for mass housing, roads, healthcare, water supply, and transport infrastructure is rising which requires the immediate attention of all the stakeholders. The perils of urbanisation lie in the deteriorating quality of living owing to housing issues, water supply and sanitation problems, traffic congestion due to too many vehicles and limited road infrastructure, law and order problems, pollution issues, and many more. Smart Cities Mission launched by the Government of India is the solution to all these problems faced by Urban Centres of the country.
The Smart City Mission (SCM) was launched on June 25, 2015, which aimed to develop 100 cities across the country, making them citizen-friendly and sustainable. The total proposed investment in the selected cities under the scheme is more than Rs 2 lakh crore.
Smart Cities focus on improving the living standards of the citizens through the use of digital and information technologies, putting in place the best urban planning norms, forging public-private partnerships in the delivery of basic services and amenities to the citizens, and implementing a policy change that ensures to put people first. The Vice President of India, M. Venkaiah Naidu had said that the Smart Cities Mission is the beginning of India's urban renaissance. According to him, a Smart City is a liveable city to the people with required amenities like clean drinking water, sanitation, toilets, infrastructure etc. While addressing the gathering after releasing the Book 'Smart Cities Unbundled' authored by Dr. Sameer Sharma in April. He had further said that it as a renaissance because there has been a paradigm shift in both the planning, approach and implementation of Smart City mission.
The objective of Smart Cities Mission is to promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of 'Smart' Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model which will act as a lighthouse to other aspiring cities.
The SCM will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY2015-16 to FY2019-20). The Mission may be continued thereafter in the light of an evaluation to be done by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and incorporating the learning into the Mission. The 100 Smart Cities selected have been distributed among the States and UTs on the basis of an equitable criterion. The formula gives equal weightage (50:50) to the urban population of the State/UT and the number of statutory towns in the State/UT. Based on this formula, each State/UT will, therefore, have a certain number of potential Smart Cities, with each State/ UT having at least one.
The Smart City Mission is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) and the Central Government has proposed to give Rs 48,000 crore as financial support to the Mission over the next five years i.e. on an average Rs. 100 crore per city per year. An equal amount, on a matching basis, will have to be contributed by the State/ULB.
The challenges are many to make the Smart Cities Mission successful. Some of these include:
Understanding the concepts of retrofitting, redevelopment and Greenfield development by the policy makers, implementers and other stakeholders at different levels will require capacity assistance.
Major investments in time and resources will have to be made throughout the implementation.
The Smart Cities Mission requires smart people who actively participate in governance and reforms. Citizen involvement is much more than ceremonial participation in governance. The participation of smart people will be enabled by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) through increasing use of ICT, especially mobile-based tools.
The use of digital technology is playing a prominent role to bring about transparency and accountability, as well as improving service delivery to its citizens. The enrolled cities are rolling out the fast network of sensors and cameras to collect data, which is then analyzed by using artificial intelligence to make predictions and decisions regarding the collection of solid waste, traffic management, control of crime, etc.
Area Based Development is given prominence while implementing the smart city project. The cities pick up one area in consultation with the citizens, develop it fully and then proceed to develop all other areas of the city one by one. As part of the ABD, the cities have also started developing smart streets. The completed streets of Pune and Surat, shows a marked difference in the visual aesthetics and optimal utilisation of space.
Under the SCM, 100 Smart Cities have been selected in 4 Rounds based on All India Competition. All 100 cities have incorporated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). As of December 2018, since the launch of the mission, a total of 5,151 projects have been identified for implementation by the cities worth more than Rs. 2 lakh crore which is in various stages of implementation in the 100 cities. 534 projects worth Rs. 10,116 crore have been completed and implementation has commenced for 1,177 projects worth Rs. 43,493 crore while tendering has started for 677 projects worth Rs. 38,207 crore.
Smart City Mission has lots of convergence with other missions like AMRUT etc. and some of the projects are implemented under Public Private Partnerships. The timeline for the completion of smart city projects according to the rounds in which they were selected is given below:
Round 1 cities- 2019-20 to 2020-21
Round 2 cities- 2019-20 to 2021-22
Round 3 cities- 2020-21 to 2021-22
Round 4 cities- 2020-21 to 2022-23
The progresses with respect to the implementation of projects are stated below:
For Smart Command & Control Centres projects worth Rs. 1,558 crore in 11 cities have been completed; projects worth Rs. 3,049 crore in 29 cities are under progress; Projects worth Rs. 2,730 crore in 21 cities already tendered.
For Smart Roads projects, worth Rs. 228 crore in 4 cities have been completed; projects worth Rs. 3,819 crore in 34 cities are under progress; projects worth Rs. 2,069 crore in 10 cities already tendered.
For Smart Water projects, worth Rs. 902 crore in 18 cities have been completed; projects worth Rs. 5,961 crore in 35 cities are under progress; projects worth Rs. 921 crore in 17 cities already tendered.
For Solar projects, worth Rs. 58 crore in 8 cities have been completed; projects worth Rs. 828 crore in 42 cities are under progress; further tenders have been issued for projects worth Rs. 300 crore in 9 cities already tendered.
For Visible and impactful projects, worth Rs. 179 crore in 16 cities have been completed; projects worth Rs. 3,701 crore in 32 cities are under progress; further tenders have been issued for projects worth Rs. 2,828 crore in 20 cities.
The wave of urbanization is on the rise in India. The quality of life in urban centres is chronically low. The country is facing challenges to manage the urban space and its inhabitants. The need of the hour is to focus on systematic urban planning, sustainable development and quick implementation of the Smart Cities Mission. The essence of 'smartness' is efficiency, effectiveness, excellence, and empathy. As the economy moves in top gear, India is expected to grow at a rapid pace by 2030; the growth would be largely contributed by the country's urban centres. The urban jobs would account for 70 percent of the overall growth in the labour force. The development of 100 smart cities in India as part of Smart Cities Mission is likely to impact 9,96,30,069 lives living in urban areas. The potential for investment is huge in the development of Smart Cities. The estimated cost of the projects identified is Rs 2,03,172 crore. The Area Based Development project is estimated to cost Rs 1,64,204 crore. The Pan City Solution is estimated to cost Rs 38,914 crore.
