Fragments of lives and relationships drift to the surface in this quietly affecting selection. In A River Twice, a boat's gentle journey along a river mirrors a father's meandering reflections on his daughter and the passing of time. For Foreign Quarters this perspective is reversed, as the filmmaker investigates his mother's lost Chinese heritage through a subtle and captivating ethnographic study. In Laura, scraps and traces are reassembled to piece together the life of a woman, real or imagined, and the nostalgic pull of photographs is similarly central to the emotional and tender Here I Breathe. The strange beauty of shared experience emerges to the fore once more in Zombie, Pt 1, an unusual and cathartic 8mm film about hustling and humanity. Images of the natural world, another kind of life, permeate the analogue experiments of See Weeds and the lyrical landscapes of The Invisible Ax.
A River Twice
Audrey Lam / 14m 30s / 2017 / Australia / UK Premiere
A boat making its way along a river mirrors a father's gentle turns of thought about his daughter and the passing years. I used to watch Hong Kong gangster movies with my dad when I was a kid. Years later, I had fun imagining – and maybe exaggerating – that my limping, half-blind dad could be a sort of Takeshi Kitano, the heroically disfigured and burdened gangster/samurai. That silliness made me think about the stories and times parents share with their children, together and apart, over the years.
Audrey Lam was born in Hong Kong and lives in Melbourne. She studied film and photography at Queensland College of Art. Her films have screened at film festivals including BFI London Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen and Melbourne International Film Festival. She is an alumnus of Filmmakers Academy at Festival del Film Locarno, Future Encounters at Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival, and Accelerator at Melbourne International Film Festival. In 2015 she undertook an Asialink arts residency at Green Papaya Art Projects in Manila.
The Invisible Ax
Anna Kipervaser / 4m 45s / 2017 / United States / European Premiere
He knew that the woods are full of forest demons who graze deer and hares like cattle, that the Chuhaistyr – who rends wood nymphs from limb to limb – roams about, inviting passers-by to join him in dance, and that the sound of the ax lives in the forest. He also knew about the Rusalky who emerge from the rivers on clear days to sing songs, to invent tales and prayers, and about the drowned men who dry their pale bodies on river boulders after sunset.
Anna Kipervaser (1982) is a Ukrainian-born multimedia artist who currently lives and works in Durham, North Carolina. Her work spans multiple disciplines including experimental and documentary moving image works in both 16mm film and video. Her work has screened at festivals, in classrooms, galleries, microcinemas, basements, and school houses! Anna has received a number of awards for her moving image work and was most recently an artist-in-residence at LIFT in Toronto where she completed a new 16mm film. Anna is also a painter, printmaker, curator of exhibitions and programmer of screenings.
Rajee Samarasinghe / 14m 41s / 2017 / China / European Premiere
My mother's lost Chinese heritage was a point of departure in this film which investigates the process by which an image is constructed in places foreign from that of my own. The condition of distance genetic to the ethnographic image traces the elusive qualities of her past and persona.
Rajee Samarasinghe (Colombo, Sri Lanka 1988) is a Sri Lankan visual artist. Some of his recent work examines contemporary ethnographic practices through associations of family and heritage. He received his BFA from the University of California San Diego and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.
Rajee's work has been exhibited at venues internationally including the Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, FIDMarseille – Festival international de cinéma de Marseille, San Francisco International Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Les Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, CROSSROADS/SFMOMA, Media City Film Festival, Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival, Antimatter [Media Art], Athens International Film + Video Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Internationales Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg, REDCAT, l'Alternativa – Barcelona Independent Film Festival, L'Âge d'Or film festival, Havana Film Festival, Milwaukee Underground Film Festival, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, and San Diego Asian Film Festival among others.
He's received the "Film House Award" at the Athens International Film + Video Festival, the "Vimeo – Audience Award" at the CROSSROADS Film Festival, and a "Jury Award" at the Sydney Underground Film Festival.
Here I Breathe
Linda Fenstermaker / 7m 40s / 2017 / United States / World Premiere
Here I Breathe is a tender exploration of memory and the passing of time. Through the use of landscape imagery and found photos, the film focuses on the embodiment of nostalgia in youth and old age. Issues of domesticity and interdependence trail throughout the narrative of a woman looking back on her life.
Tânia Dinis / 10m 30s / 2017 / Portugal / UK Premiere
Laura is an essay film whose inception began from a project of research and collection of familial photographic archives. It departs from the exploration of the notion of images as bygone experiences in time which, from that timelessness, expand in space, thus creating small narrative moments.
See Weeds
Dawn George / 3m 18s / 2017 / Canada / UK Premiere
An examination of three weeds – dandelion, coltsfoot, and goldenrod and each weed's direct effects on film stock, via hand-processing with eco-processing techniques. The three weeds were first shot on Super 8mm film and hand processed in caffenol. Each roll of film was then transferred, via optical printer, to 16mm stock and then hand-developed in its own respective "weedol." Each roll of 16mm film was then stained with either a dandelion, coltsfoot, or a goldenrod "tea." The results not only reveal the visual characteristic of each plant but also the filmic qualities that each plant imparts on the film stock.
Dawn George is an award winning Canadian based independent media artist working in film, video and installation. She is a graduate of Ryerson's Radio and Television Arts Program and received her film and media arts training through the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative (Afcoop) and the Centre for Art Tapes. She remains a strong advocate for artist run centres and cooperatives. Her DIY approach to filmmaking reflects her appreciation and respect for movement, nature, and sound. She often uses the recorded moving image in combination with time-based and CGI effects to explore environmental and societal themes. The soundscapes to her films are primarily created by recording and modifying sounds found in nature and her kitchen. She recently received the Jury Award for Creative Achievement at the 2017 Arizona International Film Festival. Her works have screened at WNDX, Antimatter [media art], FLEX Fest, the International Motion Festival, and the Dalhousie Art Gallery.
Zombie, Pt. 1
Scott Fitzpatrick / 3m 45s / 2017 / Canada / UK Premiere
"He wrote that Leonard and Robert La Tourneaux actually had a relationship… I didn't know that." A super 8mm film about hustling. Words by Will Brown; for Will Brown.
Scott Fitzpatrick is a visual artist (Libra) from YWG, whose film and video work has screened at underground festivals and marginalized venues worldwide. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Film Studies at the University of Manitoba, and began conducting lo-fi moving image experiments in 2010.

Camping World Trucks - Kimmel Preview - Homestead
STARTING OFF, OR FINISHING UP? Frank Kimmel and the No. 44 Ansell/Menards team head to sunny Homestead-Miami Speedway for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series finale when most teams are finishing the season. However, with last week's announcement for a full season in 2012 at ThorSport Racing in the ARCA Racing Series, it was only fitting that the nine-time ARCA Champion and All-time Winning Purse Driver take the wheel in Homestead in a fourth entry with ThorSport.
SUM IT UP: Kimmel has 12 overall starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series since 1995; plus the added bonus of 341 starts over 16 years in the ARCA Racing Series. Three of his NCWTS starts included Homestead-Miami Speedway, with his best finish coming in 1996 in the ninth position. Kimmel is just five victory lane appearances away from all-time winningest driver in the ARCA Racing Series - Iggy Katona - and hopes to eclipse the record in 2012 with ThorSport Racing.
TAKING THE TEST: After running the NCWTS race, Kimmel gets a quick holiday break with his family, then returns to the racetrack. He will be accompanying the No. 44 Ansell/Menards entry to Daytona for the annual tire test in the ARCA Racing Series in December.
BUY IT UP: ThorSport Racing merchandise makes a great Christmas present for the race fans in your life. Even though the season is over, there's still plenty of time to head over to http://store.thorsport.com or click the Merchandise tab on ThorSport.com to find gear for Matt Crafton, Johnny Sauter and Dakoda Armstrong - all of the ThorSport Racing drivers. Frank Kimmel gear is forthcoming!
CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 44 team will utilize chassis No. 33 this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This is the chassis Matt Crafton drove to a podium-earning third place finish earlier in the season at Dover Motor Speedway. It has been used four times in its existence in the ThorSport Racing fleet - all to top ten finishes.
Kimmel Paintout
THOUGHTS FROM THE DRIVER: Frank Kimmel
Yes, Trucks! Can you believe it? I'm actually not new to the Truck Series - I've raced a few in the last 15 years. This really boiled down to sheer opportunity. We're focused on racing for my 10th ARCA Racing Series Presented by Menards Championship in 2012. When Duke and Rhonda Thorson, team owners, asked if I would help drive for them in a fourth truck in Homestead, I said absolutely! So it's a great way to race with my new teammates and get to know them - Johnny and I have known each other through the late model world for years; and Matt and Dakoda and I have raced ARCA together for some time. It's a great fit overall, but my heart is in the ARCA Racing Series for 2012.
It's awesome to be in an organization that really takes running for championships so seriously. Just being up at the shop in Sandusky the last two weeks, I'm really blown away. The shop boys are there until all hours of the night preparing these trucks; and the facility is just unreal - 100,000 square feet of space ready for a fleet. Duke and Rhonda have achieved excellence over the last 16 years slowly and steadily - and it's really paying off. I couldn't be more excited to add a new "arm" to the program and show some muscle on track.
I was actually on the original configuration and did a truck race in '96. They then went back and did the intermediate configuration. It's just the prettiest racetrack, now that it's not a rectangle, and it's a lot of fun. I'm not a stranger to trucks, even though they have more downforce and better turn speed than Sprint Cup cars - those things are serious weapons on track. It takes a little more getting used to, going through corners with such throttle. I'm excited though - that's my kind of racing. I think Johnny calls it "beatin' and bangin' racing" - bring it on!
The only thing I'm concerned about is that it's the last race of the year in the NCWTS, and we've got a lot of guys gunning for serious position in the points. I don't want to be the guy that makes the difference in where someone finishes for the year. So I'll be pretty respectful on track and know who I'm running around, for sure. I know and have raced around 99% of these guys anyway. This weekend is a great opportunity to have the first start ever for Ansell in the NCWTS, and a great way to kick off the relationship with ThorSport Racing for 2012. Hey, you never know - we might just sneak into Victory Lane!

Since July 2016 PSI has carried out tests to assess whether the LED Sensormat™ can be used to monitor the movement of a person standing on the mat and whether this equates to measuring their balance.
"These are obviously two different things," PSI CEO Ian Bergman explains. "When we started out the fact that the line wiggled when somebody stood on the mat didn't necessarily mean it was going to have any relationship to their balance."
"Over the past three months we progressively developed prototypes and tested them with different people and became more and more confident that the wiggly line correlated with a person's balance."
"By standing different people on it with different levels of balance – for example, a fit, young, healthy person compared to some older people who knew they were struggling with their balance – it allowed us to slowly get confident that the mat was measuring people's balance.
"We'd stand a fit person on the sensor mat. Their score would be fairly low and the line would be non-wiggly. Then older people who were aware they had balance problems stood on the mat and they had higher scores and a far more wiggly line."
"It gives me enormous confidence to persevere with the development and refinement of the product. All of our testing over the coming months will therefore be aimed at building up test data with a range of people of varying ages and health conditions and starting to see whether the results match expectations."

Woman with drunken child in car claims she was trying to save his life
Tasia Paz claims her nephew was kidnapped
Newly released police audio recordings captured exactly what Tasia Paz had to say moments after Bernalillo County deputies founder her 10-year-old nephew drunk and passed out inside her car last week.
Paz claimed the boy was kidnapped, and she was only trying to help.
According to a criminal complaint, Paz crashed into another car last week, and then led deputies on a high-speed chase. When deputies finally caught up to her, they found the boy covered in vomit.
Court documents show the boy had a blood alcohol level of .22, nearly three times the legal limit for an adult.
"You need to call an ambulance for him," Paz is heard telling the deputy.
"We just did because he's unconscious," the deputy responded.
"Be advised, he's foaming at the mouth, and he appears to be vomiting," the deputy is heard saying over the radio.
As deputies waited for paramedics to arrive, Paz repeatedly tells the deputy she was only trying to save her nephew's life.
"You're done, fool," Paz is heard telling the deputy.
"You're done. You have a freakin' 10-year-old in your car," the deputy responded.
"No, someone kidnapped him. They kidnapped him! I swear to God!" cried Paz.
Deputies told Paz she wasn't making any sense, and then it became clear why.
"I have been drinking. You can smell it, I know," said Paz.
"So you have been drinking? You just told me you've been drinking?" asked the deputy.
"Yeah," said Paz.
Paz remains behind bars.

Not so quiet on the Western Front
There's some awfully angry white people in Aotearoa/NZ. Take a look at some of the social media posts at right/below. This kind of bile has been receiving a lot more attention since the Christchurch attack. By and large, this has made them even angrier. Byron Clark is a friendly, thoughtful kind of guy — an unlikely character to be leading the social media response against far-right extremism. As the alt right has got angrier, Byron has got funnier. You can subscribe to his YouTube channel here and/or follow him on Twitter here. And if you like what he's doing, please consider helping him in his work here.
After the shooting happened people began to come to me with their questions as it become known in my social network that I had some knowledge in this area. So I began to watch the local far-right even more closely. I've now spoken about the alt-right at forums organised by Together Against Racism and the local United Nations Association (the conspiracy theorists reading this will no doubt have fun with that fact). To get information out to a wider audience I decided to start making video essays, as I thought I could reach more people with video than with text based articles or a podcast. Part of the reason for the rise of the alt-right has been the way they have gamed YouTube's recommendation algorithm to draw in viewers. I've read that the medium suits the right because it favours the format of the single authoritative speaker rather than a dialogue that is more common for discourse on the left. But there's a growing movement of left-leaning YouTubers who are taking on the right in one of the online spaces they've claimed, and it's having some impact.
The second motivator is that the events of March 15 showed we can't stop racism just by being not-racist, its necessary to be anti-racist. In the evening after the shooting, a co-worker offered me a ride home if I didn't want to be out on the streets on my bike. I declined because by that point, while we didn't know if there were multiple gunmen, we had enough info for me to know any potential gunman out there wouldn't be looking for a Pākehā man. It was a real wake up call for the privilege I have- I could keep my head down, and be perfectly safe from the far-right, but I didn't want to keep my head down. Because of the mahi I'm doing now, I was told by one commenter on a video that I'd "painted a target on my back" and that just made me think about how the shooter in Christchurch decided everyone at the Al Noor mosque and the Linwood Islamic centre was a target, and all they'd done to become a target was go about their lives practicing their faith. I think its important for the anti-racism movement to centre the voices of people of colour who can speak from a perspective I can't, but there's definitely a role for Pākehā to play as well.
A lot of the insults also say more about the people making them than they do about me. Something that seems to become increasingly clear doing this stuff- and this is likely to be the topic of a future video essay or series of essays- is how much the alt-right is driven by anxieties about masculinity. There's a whole conspiracy theory about how Western men are being deliberately emasculated. The "soyboy" insult comes from the idea that phytoestrogens found in soy are making men more feminine (something there is no scientific evidence for), and according to the conspiracy theories this emasculation means the West can then be conquered by hordes of darker skinned men who will then take white women away from white men (you know, as if they're property to begin with) leading to interracial children and therefore the decline of the "white" race. This is where the "cuck" insult comes from, referencing a genre of pornography where a (usually black) man will have sex with another man's wife. So the insult is a way of saying that people like me are allowing the West to be conquered by non-white people, which isn't something I feel insulted by. I remember explaining to a friend why a comment on one of my videos stating "my wife's son loved this!" was a troll and not just a strange way of phrasing "step son" its meant to be an insult, but if you're not part of that subculture of insecure white men where being a stepdad is a sign of failure, its not insulting (I'm not a step dad by the way, but if I was, I still wouldn't find this insulting).
Copycat attacks are a definite risk, as we're already seen several- the Poway Synagogue shooter in California, the El Paso shooter in Texas, and the Norwegian man who attempted a mass shooting in an Oslo mosque all cited the Christchurch shooter as inspiration, and the gunman who attempted to enter a synagogue in Halle in Germany appears to have been influenced by the Christchurch event as well.
I of course can't predict if another attack will occur in this country, but I'm sad to say if it happened I wouldn't be surprised. The people you might call alt-right opinion leaders encourage their followers to distrust mainstream media and academia, and only get their news from alt-right sources. What this means is there are people out there who get all their information from Facebook pages and YouTube channels that tell them an Islamic takeover is underway, often claiming that London or Sweden has already been taken over, which is ridiculous, but something someone on the other side of the world in New Zealand could believe if all the media they were consuming was saying that. The Christchurch shooter wrote in his manifesto that he planned to plead innocent (which he has) because he saw himself as a soldier fighting an invading army. Could someone else in that alt-right echo chamber convince themselves they're not a terrorist but a freedom fighter? Absolutely.
There's a concept known as stochastic terrorism. The idea is that inflammatory rhetoric from people with a platform increases the probability of a "lone wolf" terrorist attack, but as there's no clear link between the person making the inflammatory statements, and the person committing violence, the former can't be held responsible. Similar to how science can tell us that climate change makes hurricanes more likely to occur, but we can't point at an individual hurricane and say it happened because of climate change. We've been in a kind of rapid warming period for the past five to ten years when it comes to stochastic terrorism, and as well as mitigating the damages we also have to do something about the harmful emissions.

Re: Paranoia Sets In
Posted by J.Schott on Jun 12, 2005
Matt-Don't worry, I had the same thing happen when building my 17. The film seemed to occur in high humidity. If I remember corectly, you are in the Tidewater Va. area and the last week here in Va. has been pretty muggy. So the conditions are perfect for producing the film you have described. Maybe some of our epoxy experts will tell us what the film is. I didn't know any better so all I did was a light sanding with 120 grit and a bath. I always wipe down right before recoating with lacquer thinner to make sure that any leftover contaminants are taken care of.

Your skin needs as long as 45 days to recover from the damage of a colored tattoo, but it heals considerably within approximately one week and appears healed in approximately two weeks. Once the artist finishes emblazoning your new colored tattoo on your skin, the responsibility falls to you regarding aftercare. Your fresh tattoo will go through a healing stage that requires you to keep it clean and medicated so it won't become infected.
Remove the bandage covering your colored tattoo within two hours of leaving the tattoo shop. If you leave it any longer, it may stick to your skin.
Wash your hands with soap and water to clean them. Wash the colored tattoo with lukewarm water and mild soap applied to your clean hands. Rinse the tattoo with lukewarm water.
Pat the tattoo gently with a clean soft towel to dry. Spread a thin layer of antibiotic ointment over the colored tattoo. If you apply too much -- it looks shiny and greasy -- wipe some off with a clean paper towel. Do not re-bandage; the tattoo needs to breathe.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for approximately three to five days, two to three times per day. After three to five days, switch from antibiotic ointment to a fragrance-free, color-free moisturizing lotion. Keep cleansing and moisturizing for 10 days to two weeks.
See a health care provider if you experience extreme redness, swelling drainage or pain at the tattoo site. (See Reference 3)

Travel across the Kansas prairie to Colorado to explore wildlife and habitats high up in the Rocky Mountains! Students will be lead on excursions to find and identify plants and animals in majestic wilderness. This includes setting motion-sensing trail cameras, to catch a glimpse of critters that are a bit more shy. We will also explore the history of the Rocky Mountains, and how their formation affected the wildlife and habitats of western North America. Students will get to see transitions in animal and plant life, and discuss explanations for these differences with instructional staff. Our adventures also include nocturnal wildlife hikes, looking for owls, foxes, insects, and other night time creatures. We will camp at different locations along the way, and use tools such as GPS units, black lights, spotting scopes, and other tools to learn about how professional scientists investigate the natural world. Along the way, we will emphasize discussion of ideas and critical thinking skills, helping students build knowledge as well as mental tools to tackle complex subjects. The mountains are calling! Let's go!

Counselor: Aysland Batchelor
We run on a rolling admission schedule from February to May. Each month, we will evaluate students with complete application files to determine admission and scholarship award decisions. If your student is denied admission to a camp, you will be specifically notified. Below we have listed evaluation period cutoff dates, and notification periods.
Please contact us at email@example.com if you have any questions about this process.
Drop off is 8:00am on the first day. Pick up is by 5:00pm on the last day.
Please see Frequently Asked Questions for information about attending the camps for out of state students.
You can follow along with our camp programs on Twitter and Instagram at @SternbergCamps.
Tuition is $660 per member, and $740 per non-member.
Q: What if my student is not accepted into the camp they applied for? Do you refund tuition?
A: 100% of the deposit and any paid tuition is refunded to any students not accepted to a camp they applied for. We encourage students not accepted to a program to apply again the following year. Many of our programs are competitive, with more applicants than space available. Unfortunately, this means that some years we won't be able to admit 100% of applicants to any particular program.
Q: What is your cancellation and refund policy?
A: Our refund policy for cancellations is dependent on which kind of camp you are signed up for (domestic or international), and when the cancellation is received.
Refund policies Domestic Programs:
For programs taking place within the United States, cancellations must be submitted in writing, via email or typed letter. Each camp registration is held to a 20-percent cancellation fee. If you cancel 30 to 10 days prior to the start of a program, half of the total fee is refundable. If you cancel 9 or fewer days prior to the start of the program, no amount of the fee is refundable. Registration fees are non-transferable between applicants.
International Programs:
Cancellations and withdrawals must be submitted in writing, via email or typed letter. Up to the registration deadline of May 1st, 2018, the program fee is fully refundable. After May 1st, the registration fee is only 50% refundable, as we will have already provided payments for airfares, accommodations, and guide services.
For answers to more possible questions, see our Frequently Asked Questions page!
For questions about the Sternberg Science Camps programs, contact us at email@example.com or 785-639-5249.
Human environmental impacts are a huge concern, even high up in the mountains. The majority of our hikes and exploring will take place in habitats set aside to protect them from destruction and pollution. Even still, human environmental impacts can still be easily found in all the ecosystems we visit. Students will participate in lessons and discussions about the importance of habitat and biodiversity conservation, including how to approach these topics in the 21st century.
To understand the differences we observe in organisms, an understanding of evolution is absolutely necessary. Students are presented with an initial lesson on how populations of organisms evolve, and how selection over time can lead to new species. We continue lessons on evolutionary biology throughout the program, always relating back to the essential concepts of heredity, selection, and relating genes to physical features. From beak shape and feather colors in birds to the shapes flowers, we will be discussing evolutionary biology frequently, in great depth.
Studying the interconnected nature of organisms to each other and their environment is crucial for understanding the structure of that ecosystem, and why organisms have evolved as they have. Within the extremely broad field of ecology, we make sure to touch on the following during the program, tailored for abilities of a junior-high student audience:
– Population ecology
– Community ecology
– Niche ecology
– Trophic ecology
– Behavioral ecology
– Biogeography
A majority of our field lessons and exploring will require 2-4 hour hikes through the mountains. In order to stay safe and healthy, students will receive instruction on properly packing their backpack, optimal attire, hydration, footwear, use of sunscreen, self-awareness and group safety. Weather will typically be warm during the day, and cooler at night (and we do go out on night hikes to look for nocturnal wildlife, especially owls). Preparation is key, and we will make sure your student has the information to be prepared.
Taking initiative, staying organized, and effectively communicating are all important skills for working with a team in the field. Over the course of the program, students are coached on developing these areas. With guided opportunities to lead portions of field work, students are encouraged to develop their voices, organize team efforts, and build confidence in their abilities.
From staying hydrated to dealing with bad weather, students are introduced to the hazards of field work and how to effectively, safely deal with them. Staff provide lessons on safety through discussion, making sure students have a clear understanding of problems that can arise and how to effectively avoid them, or mitigate their effects afterwards.
Knowing some basics of camping is essential to field work. Scientific field work is often done in remote or semi-remote locations, making camping skills necessary to being able to do field work at all!
Training includes:
– Putting up tents
– Camp cooking
– Setting up and breaking down camp
– Leave No Trace strategies
– Efficiently loading and unloading field vehicles
– Environmental injury and illness mitigation
– Building and safely managing a campfire

Executive Summary
In June 2004, delegates from 154 countries converged in Bonn, Germany, for the world's first government-hosted international conference on renewable energy. REN21 emerged from that process to become the first international organisation to track renewable energy developments. At that time, there were visible upwards trends in global renewable energy capacity and output, investment, policy support, investment, and integration. Yet even ambitious projections did not anticipate the extraordinary expansion of renewables that was to unfold over the decade ahead.
Global perceptions of renewable energy have shifted considerably since 2004. Over the last 10 years, continuing technology advances and rapid deployment of many renewable energy technologies have demonstrated that their potential can be achieved. Renewables advanced further towards realising that potential during 2013.
Renewable energy provided an estimated 19% of global final energy consumption in 2012,i and continued to grow in 2013. Of this total share in 2012, modern renewables accounted for approximately 10%, with the remainder (estimated at just over 9%) coming from traditional biomass.ii Heat energy from modern renewable sources accounted for an estimated 4.2% of total final energy use; hydropower made up about 3.8%, and an estimated 2% was provided by power from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass, as well as by biofuels.
The combined modern and traditional renewable energy share remained about level with 2011, even as the share of modern renewables increased. This is because the rapid growth in modern renewable energy is tempered by both a slow migration away from traditional biomass and a continued rise in total global energy demand.
As renewable energy markets and industries mature, they increasingly face newand different challenges, as well as a wide range of opportunities. In 2013, renewables faced declining policy support and uncertainty in many European countries and the United States. Electric grid-related constraints, opposition in some countries from electric utilities concerned about rising competition, and continuing high global subsidies for fossil fuels were also issues. Overall—with some exceptions in Europe and the United States—renewable energy developments were positive in 2013.
Markets, manufacturing, and investment expanded further across the developing world, and it became increasingly evident that renewables are no longer dependent upon a small handful of countries. Aided by continuing technological advances, falling prices, and innovations in financing—all driven largely by policy support—renewables have become increasingly affordable for a broader range of consumers worldwide. In a rising number of countries, renewable energy is considered crucial for meeting current and future energy needs.
As markets have become more global, renewable energy industries have responded by increasing their flexibility, diversifying their products, and developing global supply chains. Several industries had a difficult year, with consolidation continuing, particularly for solar energy and wind power. But the picture brightened by the end of 2013, with many solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind turbine manufacturers returning to profitability.
The most significant growth occurred in the power sector, with global capacity exceeding 1,560 gigawatts (GW), up more than 8% over 2012. Hydropower rose by 4% to approximately 1,000 GW, and other renewables collectively grew nearly 17% to more than 560 GW. For the first time, the world added more solar PV than wind power capacity; solar PV and hydropower were essentially tied, each accounting for about one-third of new capacity. Solar PV has continued to expand at a rapid rate, with growth in global capacity averaging almost 55% annually over the past five years. Wind power has added the most capacity of all renewable technologies over the same period. In 2013, renewables accounted for more than 56% of net additions to global power capacity and represented far higher shares of capacity added in several countries.
Over the past few years, the levelised costs of electricity generation from onshore wind and, particularly, solar PV have fallen sharply. As a result, an increasing number of wind and solar power projects are being built without public financial support. Around the world, major industrial and commercial customers are turning to renewables to reduce their energy costs while increasing the reliability of their energy supply. Many set ambitious renewable energy targets, installed and operated their own renewable power systems, or signed power purchase agreements to buy directly from renewable energy project operators, bypassing utilities.
By the end of 2013, China, the United States, Brazil, Canada, and Germany remained the top countries for total installed renewable power capacity; the top countries for non-hydro capacity were again China, the United States, and Germany, followed by Spain, Italy, and India. Among the world's top 20 countries for non-hydro capacity, Denmark had a clear lead for total capacity per capita. Uruguay, Mauritius, and Costa Rica were among the top countries for investment in new renewable power and fuels relative to annual GDP.
In the heating and cooling sector, trends included the increasing use of renewables in combined heat and power plants; the feeding of renewable heating and cooling into district systems; hybrid solutions in the building renovation sector; and the growing use of renewable heat for industrial purposes. Heat from modern biomass, solar, and geothermal sources accounts for a small but gradually rising share of final global heat demand, amounting to an estimated 10%. The use of modern renewable technologies for heating and cooling is still limited relative to their vast potential.
i - Note that it is not possible to provide 2013 shares due to a lack of data.
ii - Note that there is debate about the sustainability of traditional biomass, and whether it should be considered renewable, or renewable only if it comes from a sustainable source.
The growth of liquid biofuels has been uneven in recent years, but their production and use increased in 2013. There is also growing interest in other renewable options in the transport sector. The year saw a continued rise in the use of gaseous biofuels (mainly biomethane) and further development of hybrid options (e.g., biodiesel-natural gas buses, and electric-diesel transport). There are limited but increasing initiatives to link electric transport systems with renewable energy, particularly at the city and regional levels.
Some highlights of 2013 include:
- In the European Union, renewables represented the majority of new electric generating capacity for the sixth consecutive year. The 72% share in 2013 is in stark contrast to a decade earlier, when conventional fossil generation accounted for 80% of new capacity in the EU-27 plus Norway and Switzerland.
- Even as global investment in solar PV declined nearly 22% relative to 2012, new capacity installations increased by about 32%.
- China's new renewable power capacity surpassed new fossil fuel and nuclear capacity for the first time.
- Variable renewables achieved high levels of penetration in several countries. For example, throughout 2013, wind power met 33.2% of electricity demand in Denmark and 20.9% in Spain; in Italy, solar PV met 7.8% of total annual electricity demand.
- Wind power was excluded from one of Brazil's national auctions because it was pricing all other generation sources out of the market.
- Denmark banned the use of fossil fuel-fired boilers in new buildings as of 2013 and aims for renewables to provide almost 40% of total heat supply by 2020.
- Growing numbers of cities, states, and regions seek to transition to 100% renewable energy in either individual sectors or economy-wide. For example, Djibouti, Scotland, and the small-island state of Tuvalu aim to derive 100% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Among those who have already achieved their goals are about 20 million Germans who live in so-called 100% renewable energy regions.
The impacts of these developments on employment numbers in the renewable energy sector have varied by country and technology, but, globally, the number of people working in renewable industries has continued to rise. An estimated 6.5 million people worldwide work directly or indirectly in the sector.
By early 2014, at least 144 countries had renewable energy targets and 138 countries had renewable energy support policies in place, up from the 138 and 127 countries, respectively, that were reported in GSR 2013. Developing and emerging economies have led the expansion in recent years and account for 95 of the countries with support policies, up from 15 in 2005. The rate of adoption remained slow relative to much of the past decade, due largely to the fact that so many countries have already enacted policies.
In 2013, there was an increasing focus on revisions to existing policies and targets, including retroactive changes, with some adjustments made to improve policy effectiveness and efficiency, and others aimed to curtail costs associated with supporting the deployment of renewables. At the same time, some countries expanded support and adopted ambitious new targets.
Policy mechanisms continued to evolve, with some becoming more differentiated by technology. Feed-in policies in many countries evolved further towards premium payments in the power sector, and continued to be adapted for use in the heating sector. Particularly in Europe, new policies are emerging to advance or manage the integration of high shares of renewable electricity into existing power systems, including support for energy storage, demand-side management, and smart grid technologies.
As in past years, most renewable energy policies enacted or revised during 2013 focus on the power sector. A mix of regulatory policies, fiscal incentives, and public financing mechanisms continued to be adopted. Feed-in policies and renewable portfolio standards (RPS) remained the most commonly used support mechanisms, although their pace of adoption continued to slow. Public competitive bidding, or tendering, gained further prominence, with the number of countries turning to public auctions rising from 9 in 2009 to 55 as of early 2014.
Although the heating and cooling sector lags far behind the renewable power sector for attention from policymakers, the adoption of targets and support policies has increased steadily. As of early 2014, at least 24 countries had adopted renewable heating (and cooling) targets, and at least 19 countries had obligations at the national or state/provincial level. Renewable heating and cooling is also supported through fiscal incentives, as well as through building codes and other measures at the national and local levels in several countries.
As of early 2014, at least 63 countries used regulatory policies to promote the production or consumption of biofuels for transport; this was up from the 49 reported in GSR 2013. Some existing blend mandates were strengthened, and the use of fiscal incentives and public financing expanded. In some countries, however, support for first-generation biofuels was reduced due to environmental and social sustainability concerns. Although most transport-related policies focus on biofuels, many governments continued to explore other options such as increasing the number of vehicles fuelled with biomethane and electricity from renewable sources.
Thousands of cities and towns worldwide have policies, plans, and targets to advance renewable energy, often far outpacing the ambitions of national legislation. Policy momentum continued in 2013 as city and local governments acted to reduce emissions, support and create local industry, relieve grid capacity stress, and achieve security of supply. To accomplish these goals, they increasingly made use of their authority to regulate, make expenditure and procurement decisions, facilitate and ease the financing of renewable energy projects, and influence advocacy and information sharing. As cities seek to share and scale up best practices, highlight their commitments to renewable energy, and account for their achievements, local governments are increasingly prioritising systematic measurement and reporting of climate and energy data.

Alongside stocking up on cat food, setting up the litter tray and kitten-proofing the house, one of the first things you'll have to do before bringing your new moggy home is to decide on the perfect name for your pet.
And it seems that when it comes to naming our furry friends, Fluffy, Tigger and Bubbles are out and human names are in - as Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has revealed that cat owners seem to be opting for names that would just as well suit a baby.
According to the Daily Mail, the home has found that Charlie is the nation's favourite name for both male cats and dogs, while Oscar, Tom and Felix also feature in the top five for felines.
Female cats are also commonly given human names, with Coco being the favourite and Bella, Lily, Milly and Molly also proving to be popular choices for our four-legged friends.
"Pets are an integral part of modern families and many people attribute human feelings to their dogs and cats, so it makes sense that we'd give them human names too," explained Louise Taylor, who checks in all new arrivals at the home.
"There is a definite trend among parents to choose slightly more old fashioned names for their babies, and many of us see our pets as another child, so are clearly making similar choices when it comes to names."
However, the charity also revealed that it had taken in a number of animals with some rather weird and wonderful names, with Gucci, Megatron, Hero Big and Mr Bean, up among the most bizarrely named cats and dogs to come through their doors.
"People often see their pet as an extension of their own personality, so choosing an unusual name can be a way of making sure your dog or cat stands out," Louise added.
"Picking an animal's name is a big responsibility as it will probably have it for the rest of its life, just like a baby."

What happens if the Deep State pursues the usual pathological path of increasing repression? The system it feeds on decays and collapses.
– charles hugh smith
Catch-22 (from the 1961 novel set in World War II Catch-22) has several shades of meaning (bureaucratic absurdity, for example), but at heart it is a self-referential paradox: you must be insane to be excused from flying your mission, but requesting to be excused by reason of insanity proves you're sane.
The Deep State in virtually every major nation-state is facing a form of Catch-22: the Deep State needs the nation-state to feed on and support its power, and the nation-state requires stability above all else to survive the vagaries of history.
The only possible output of extreme wealth inequality is social and economic instability.
The financial elites of the Deep State (and of the nation-state that the Deep State rules) generate wealth inequality and thus instability by their very existence, i.e. the very concentration of wealth and power that defines the elite.
So the only way to insure stability is to dissipate the concentrated wealth and power of the financial Deep State. This is the Deep State's Catch-22.
What happens when extremes of wealth/power inequality have been reached? Depressions, revolutions, wars and the dissolution of empires. Extremes of wealth/power inequality generate political, social and economic instability which then destabilize the regime.
Ironically, elites try to solve this dilemma by becoming more autocratic and repressing whatever factions they see as the source of instability.
The irony is they themselves are the source of instability. The crowds of enraged citizens are merely manifestations of an unstable, brittle system that is cracking under the strains of extreme wealth/power inequality. …

The Government highlighted its plans to invest heavily in Cyber security in 2015 for the next five years and Bristish Industry now need to be aware that every British company is a target, every British network will be attacked, and that Cyber crime is not something that happens to other people.
The MOD is committed to ensuring it and its supply chain are appropriately protected and has been working jointly with Industry and other Government departments in the Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP) to develop a proportionate means of achieving this. As a first step, the MOD will be implementing the Government's Cyber Essentials Scheme through a compliance question in its supplier selection Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.
For all new requirements advertised from 1st January 2016 which entail the transfer of MOD identifiable information from customer to supplier or the generation of information by a supplier specifically in support of the MOD contract, MOD will require suppliers to have a Cyber Essentials certificate by the contract start date at the latest, and for it to be renewed annually. This requirement must be flowed down the supply chain.
It is expected that this scoping will apply to most direct MOD contracts; however, the supply chain will also need to apply the same test as it flows work down into sub-contracts and it is recognised that the scoping statement may not be applicable at some of these lower levels e.g. items procured on a regular basis where allocation is unknown at the time of purchase. The more extensive requirements of the DCPP Cyber Security Model will be implemented in a phased approach from April 2016.
HM Government commissioned a 2015 Information Security Breaches Survey. There are some rather worrying statements some of which can be attributable to the Cyber threat. 90% of large organisations and 74% of small businesses will have suffered a security breach. 69% of large and 38% of small businesses were attacked by an unauthorised outsider last year whilst the average costs of the worst possible breach ranges from £75k – £311k for a small business to £1.46m – £3.14m for a large business.
In the governments most recent report Cyber Breaches 2017 the threat to all businesses continues to grow. The survey found that over 875,000 business were hit by a cyber attack in 2016>2017 and the average cost is around £1,340 per instance. Through Cyber Essentials business of all sizes can protect themselves and be at the required cyber security level to win mod contracts.
By implementing the basic Cyber controls required of the Government's Cyber Essentials scheme businesses will protect their information assets from almost 80 per cent of Cyber threats. The MOD DCPP team would be happy to advise suppliers on any aspects of meeting these requirements and can be contacted at email@example.com.

Educated, Certified and Well Qualified….
Meet our Indianapolis Dog Trainer!
Dawn Bailey – Owner/Head Trainer
Dawn Bailey is a professional Indianapolis dog trainer and dog behavior consultant serving the Indianapolis, Indiana area, including Carmel, Castleton, Greenfield, Greenwood, and Plainfield, as well as most of Central Indiana.
Dawn has been an animal lover her entire life. While growing up, she always tried to help animals in need, and she learned early on that the love a dog offers his/her human is unconditional. As an adult, to return the favor, Dawn decided to volunteer at an animal shelter. She quickly realized most of the dogs were there due to unresolved behavioral issues, so she took it upon herself to seek out education and training in an effort to keep more dogs in their homes, with their families, and out of shelters.
She completed the Canine Trade Group Professional Dog Trainer's Course, which involved an extensive amount of bookwork on the scientific principles of canine learning theory and dog training, as well as an in-residence, hands-on component. The hands-on portion was perfect for Dawn because it involved working with rescue dogs previously-labeled "unadoptable" due to behavioral issues.
Whether you are dealing with aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity, disobedience, or you're having difficulty house training, Indianapolis Dog Trainer, Dawn and Circle City Dog Training can help!

JSON is a very nice way to store data in plain text format. This is useful because you can edit it in a text area in your web app or Miva Merchant module, or simply edit it in a text editor.
Let's say your json file is called config.json and you want load the settings you've saved in it.
Let's say this is what the json file looks like:
{ "name":"Scot Ranney", "website_name":"Scot's Scripts", "city":"Bellingham", "state":"Washington" }
The code below reads that file and puts the data into a structure you can use in your Miva script. This example assumes the json file is in the same directory as the script or module.
<mvif expr="{ sexists('config.json') }"> <mvassign name="l.ok" value="{ file_read('config.json','script',l.json) }" /> <mvassign name="l.ok" value="{ miva_json_decode(l.json,l.config) }" /> </mvif>
1. Use the built in Mivascript function
sexists(...) to see if the file exists. This way we don't get any error messages if the file isn't there.
2. Use the built in Mivascript function
file_read(...) to load the data into a variable. In this case I decided to use
l.json to hold the data from the json file.
3. Use the built in Mivascript function
miva_json_decode(...) to convert the json data into a structure. In this case the data would be available like this:
l.config:name l.config:website_name l.config:city l.config:state
You could display it in any way, such as a welcome message:
Hello <MvEVAL EXPR= "{ l.config:name }">, how is the weather in <MvEVAL EXPR= "{ l.config:city $ ', ' $ l.config:state }">?
This would display as:
Hello Scot, how is the weather in Bellingham, Washington?

Ewing, NJ 08628
Partnering for Pollinators
Ewing Township to partner with Mercer County to provide habitat for pollinators
Ewing Township officials are excited to announce that a pilot program to convert municipal lawns to wildflower meadows to provide pollinator habitat is set to start this spring. This will be a joint initiative by the Mercer County Park Commission, the County Planning Department and Ewing Township.
Two Ewing sites, a half-acre of lawn at the Ewing Senior and Community Center and a total of one acre of lawn (Ewing will contribute one half and the County the other) at the Village on the Green are expected to be prepared and seeded with a native wildflower mix this spring. The meadows will need to be cut a few times during their initial growing season; thereafter; annual mows in the winter and invasive plant management are anticipated.
"Partnering with Mercer County to provide critically needed habitat for vanishing wildlife on Ewing public lands supports the efforts of the Township and its Green Team, which are working to promote wildlife through the National Wildlife Federation's Community Wildlife Habitat Project to create healthier, greener and more wildlife-friendly residential and public spaces," Ewing Mayor Bert Steinmann said. "And it balances our efforts to provide more beautiful open space for our residents with the needs of nature."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A day after a scathing report from prosecutors pushed for a "significant" sentence for Corrine Brown, the former congresswoman's attorney asked that she receive only probation for her convictions in a federal corruption case.
Brown, 71, was found guilty of 18 counts of federal mail, wire and tax fraud for soliciting donations for a fake charity, using that charity as a "slush fund" for herself and her associates, and lying on her taxes and congressional disclosure forms.
After two unsuccessful requests for a delay, Brown is set to be sentenced Nov. 16. A court officer will recommend that Brown be ordered to serve seven to nine years in federal prison.
READ: Corrine Brown sentencing memo | Corrine Brown sentencing mitigation report
But her attorney, James Smith, asked for a "reasonable sentence," pointing to the "humiliation and ostracization that she's already experienced" as part of the reason that probation with community service would be an appropriate sentence.
He wrote in a sentencing memo that Brown's personal history and characteristics, and her lack of a criminal history warrant a lesser sentence than what the guidelines lay out.
He said it would take "a thousand pages" to list all of her good works and contributions, pointing to decades of public service and letters that describe her as a "compassionate advocate" for people of all races.
Smith said he plans to bring dozens of witnesses to testify to that during the sentencing hearing.
But prosecutors said in a scathing 50-page report on Thursday that they are prepared for that tactic, saying that "her office enabled these crimes, and all the good things she'll claim she did only helped her pull it off more easily."
RELATED: Scathing report pushes 'significant' sentence for Brown | What could Corrine Brown's life be like in prison? | Where would Corrine Brown go if sentenced to prison time?
In that lengthy memo, prosecutors made a case for a "significant punishment" for Brown, who they said never had any intention of using the One Door for Education Foundation to raise money for disadvantaged students in Jacksonville or anywhere else.
They point to Brown's words before, during and after her trial as continuing to deny responsibility for her actions, and said she went so far as to repeatedly lie on the stand about her crimes.
They said Brown's assertions that her prosecution "was racially and politically motivated" were calculated to distract the public and potential jurors from the truth of what she did.
"Society expects courts to punish convicted and corrupt politicians," prosecutors wrote. "If the legal system does not do so, our system of justice loses credibility, and the public is left with the impression that there are some citizens who are truly above the law. This cannot be the case."
But Smith argues that Brown's decades of public service, her age, her health and a comparison of other public integrity cases with Brown's case justify a sentence of probation.
In a separate memo, Smith wrote that Brown's medical records reflect at least 14 confirmed diagnoses, along with possible glaucoma and untreated sleep apnea, and that she has recently had problems with memory loss, coupled with a family history of dementia.
He said that Brown's close relationship with her mother, who has dementia, and her daughter mean that any corrective measures would be more effective if she can be close to her family.
Smith argued that there's no reasonable basis to believe Brown will ever commit another crime, and that because she lost re-election, there's no risk that she will ever commit a public integrity offense again.
Smith said a prison sentence of nine years in prison would be "devastating, emotionally and physically, for Corrine Brown."
He asked instead for a sentence of probation and home confinement with extensive community service. He said the negative publicity from her conviction could be converted to positive energy "by using her notoriety as a public example of a fallen person working in the community to repair harms and restore broken trust."
He also suggested having Brown make public apologies to each of the One Door donors and having her participate in public service announcement directed at encouraging youth to make good life choices.
"The interests of justice would not be served by imposing a sentence of imprisonment," Smith wrote. "Corrine Brown respectfully requests that this court show mercy and compassion and impose a term or probation."
Co-conspirators also seek leniency
At the same time they were pushing for a stiff sentence for Brown, prosecutors requested leniency for her co-conspirators, Carla Wiley and Ronnie Simmons.
Wiley, who founded the unregistered One Door charity, and Simmons, Brown's chief of staff, both pleaded guilty and testified against Brown.
Their cooperation was essential to the government's case against Brown, prosecutors said, and should earn them reduced sentences.
Simmons' attorneys have asked for home detention and Wiley's attorneys suggested she receive probation, including community service and home detention.
Getting the money back
This week, prosecutors also filed forfeiture motions seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the three co-conspirators.
The government wants to collect $654,292.39 from Brown, Simmons and Wiley collectively, representing the money that was fraudulently raised for One Door for Education.
Prosecutors also want to collect an additional $10,000 from Brown and Simmons, and an additional $96,000 from Simmons, in connection with his guilty plea for aiding and abetting the theft of government funds.
The forfeiture motions state that since the actual money the three received through One Door is no longer available, the government can collect other property, up to the full dollar amount.
