WASHINGTON, July 2, 2014 – While the Washington D.C. establishment is busy celebrating their victory in Mississippi, the battle for the nomination is not over. Just one week later the situation on the ground in Mississippi and in Washington has changed dramatically.
Accusations of fraud swirl around Cochran's campaign and Black Democrats expect a return on investment.
READ ALSO: Cochran wins in Mississippi but the GOP loses big
The runoff campaign between Sen. Thad Cochran and challenger Chris McDaniel was noteworthy for the disgraceful way the Cochran campaign courted black Democrat voters with lies about the Tea Party, alleging racism and that McDaniel would take away their food stamps, welfare payments, and funding to the state's historically Black colleges and universities.
While disgraceful, those tactics are legal. What is not legal is paying people for their votes. Allegations of the Cochran campaign paying "walking around money" to potential voters circulated even before the vote.
Now specific allegations have been reported in a story in Mississippi's independent journalism site Got News.
Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church says he delivered "hundreds or even thousands," of blacks to the polls after being offered money to do so and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. "They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."
He says he was offered $16,000 by Saleem Baird, a staffer with the Cochran campaign and current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, and Cochran campaign manager Kirk Sims to pass bribes to potential voters. When they didn't pay up, Fielder came forward.

Fielder says Baird told him to "give the fifteen dollars in each envelope to people as they go in and vote."
Fielder also says he went to the campaign office on another occasion to pick up $300 in cash and was among a room full of people who were doing the same thing he was. He believes the operation was state-wide.
Fielder said he was motivated more by the claims of racism than the money. As to what should happen next, "definitely the election should not be allowed to stand," says Fielder, who says he'll support McDaniel in event of a special election. "He's been done wrong. He's not what they said that he is."
The Cochran campaign denies Fielder's claim. A "There is absolutely no truth to these baseless and false allegations," said Cochran campaign spokesman Jordan Russell, according to the Daily Caller, which is skeptical of Fielder's claims.
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive! – Sir Walter Scott
McDaniel has not conceded the race; indeed, his campaign says that they have found thousands of fraudulent votes in one county alone. Still, the chances of overturning the election are slim. Courts are reluctant to overturn results, preferring instead to punish the offenders. It does happen, though: an election in Center, Colorado was overturned when evidence of massive mail-in vote fraud was uncovered. In this Mississippi election, more than 7,000 votes, or 20% of the estimated 35,000 Democrat votes cast, would have to be proven fraudulent.
No one yet know for sure how much fraud there was. Today True the Vote filed a lawsuit in federal district court under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 in an effort to get access to voter records.
Meanwhile, Democrats have been quick to remind Cochran that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
According to Politico, "Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are talking about what they want Cochran to do" if he gets re-elected for another six-year term. Their wish list includes "maintaining funding for food stamps, beefing up programs that help poor blacks in Mississippi and even supporting the Voting Rights Act."
The very things Cochran accused the Tea Party of wanting to do away with if McDaniel were elected.
Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told Politico, "Absolutely we have expectations." Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) said after Cochran was "desperate" enough to court the black vote, he hopes that Cochran is now "responsive to the voters that pushed him over the top."
It seems that, like it or not, Cochran is now a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and they expect him to vote like it. Of course, there is nothing they can do to force him to vote their way so the result may be that Cochran will make enemies on the left as he already has on the right.

The mess the Establishment started hasn't ended—and may not for a while. The national press won't follow it with unwavering attention like they did the 2000 Florida presidential results or the 2010 senate contest in Minnesota but that doesn't mean it's going away.
On Saturday, July 5th, conservatives are planning a Freedom Rally in support of McDaniel at the Mississippi State Capitol.

Video's Importance in a Content Marketing Strategy
Imagine your agency is executing a direct mail campaign for you next month and the only measure of success will be the number of packages sent out. Not response. Not qualified leads. Not conversions. It wouldn't make sense, right? But that is exactly what more than 75 percent of brands are doing right now with their video content campaigns.
Measuring the performance of video by views alone fails to consider the result that you are trying to achieve. Engagement and active engagement response are what you are really after. If you aren't measuring those, your videos could be massively underperforming — and you would never know it.
Video-specific analytic tools help shine a light on missing engagement metrics, but the only way to fully capitalize on the engagement power of video is to put more emphasis on strategy and optimization in your video creation process.
Here's how to make your video campaigns work for you.
Implement Powerful Analytics to Measure Results
There are a multitude of tools out there to help you get a grip on what your videos are actually doing. Limbik, Tubular and Vidyard are good places to start. The best way to tap into the power of video analytics is to use a little bit of foreshadowing. What are the primary metrics that are going to drive results, and what can you do to drive them?
Video producers know that a minute of pre-production is worth an hour of post-production, so these variables should be active parts of your idea generation, storyboarding, script writing and shooting. It's much more difficult — and expensive — to change them after the fact.
Like most marketing campaigns, videos do not represent one-and-done linear paths. They are touchpoints in a complex web of the buyer journey. That means that, while measuring the performance of each video is good, what you really want to measure is how they perform alongside one another, working together to create the behaviors that you seek. Those insights allow for both improving active video campaigns in real-time, as well as informing the production of the next set of content.
Balance Creative Execution With Strategy
Another bit of wisdom from Hollywood that applies to marketing videos is the saying, "It's show business, not show art." That does not undermine the value of creative. Obviously, boring videos will not drive engagement. However, a fantastic video that has the power to catch fire does not necessarily have the power to generate meaningful results.
According to Google, customers in the B-to-B space are increasingly watching video during the entire path to purchase, with 48 percent consuming more than 30 minutes worth of video content.
Hunger for engagement is there, but getting the right message in front of the right people at the right time is key. Only about 15 percent of marketers are taking advantage of optimization metrics that help determine if the video is actually working. Once you have the creative nailed down, it is imperative to devise an execution strategy that ensures that prospects are able to easily locate — and actually want to view — the ideal video content that is going to move them along the journey to conversion.
Optimize Your Videos Once They Go Live
Despite even the best planning efforts, most videos are not going to be perfect at launch. What is working and what isn't? In the old days of one-way video viewing, it was impossible to know.

It's another week in and French Montana has yet again made another major collaboration joining forces with Juicy J, Logic & ASAP Rocky to deliver his latest single called "Twisted."
French Montana's latest album arrives next month and already we've been treated to one hit single, "Writing On The Wall" which features Cardi B and Post Malone. Diddy made it very clear how much of a fan he was of the song when he uploaded a video of him jamming out to the tune. "You got one, you always get one," he said. "Diddy approved!"
We only assume the Bad Boy mogul will be just as much of a fan of his latest track, "Twisted" that has a nice trio of features from Logic, A$AP Rocky and Juicy J. The song is a ratchet one, with lyrics that detail the rappers encounters with strippers and woman they just want for one night.
They are a lot more about this song that we would really love to talk about, but due to the fact that we know how urgent a listen is important at this point, but we'll let you take a listen and do the talking yourself.
You can download "Twisted" below and check out the website's homepage for other similar tracks, but don't forget to share your thoughts because it's very important to us.

EDITORIAL – Sad fact is that the answer to opioid crisis continues to elude us
An editorial by Mel Rothenburger.
FRUSTRATION WITH what seems like the losing battle against opioid addiction was obvious Tuesday when Interior Health representatives talked to Kamloops City council.
Councillors aren't drug-addiction experts and can't be expected to have the answers, but it's clear Interior Health hasn't found them yet, either. Forty-eight people died in Kamloops of overdoses last year.
Mayor Ken Christian suggested that if the discussion was about someone dying in a swimming pool, on a hockey rink or in a crosswalk, "we would be all over it."
The big difference is that swimming pools can be staffed with more life guards, hockey equipment can be improved, and crosswalks can be made safer with warning lights. Drug overdoses are a far more complicated challenge.
Mel Rothenburger is a former mayor of Kamloops and newspaper editor. He publishes the ArmchairMayor.ca opinion website, and is a director on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board. He can be reached at email@example.com.

African sojourn Moves Many
Congratulations to my classmate Clinton Etheridge and to the editorial staff of the magazine on a very moving article about his family's recent visit to West Africa and the photos of his Peace Corps days over there.
In the late 1960s, I had the opportunity to spend three months in Cote d'Ivoire on a student-exchange program with Operation Crossroads Africa, and, as an African American, it was an experience that I have never forgotten. While there, I met and worked alongside Peace Corps volunteers on community building projects. I had a sense of how much deeper the Peace Corps volunteers' experiences were than were ours on only a three-month visit.
What a wonderful idea to go back after 40 years and trace connections made in one's student years. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot '66 (a mentor) writes about planning for the "third chapter" of life. The Etheridges' journey has inspired me to think about a similar journey as I approach that stage.
I was especially pleased to see that his children were interested and willing to share the experience with him. It's heartening to see some of that generation embracing his conviction that every black American should visit the African continent at least once in their lives.
Thank you for sharing this experience with the Swarthmore community.
Marilyn Allman Maye '69

I have never set foot in Africa, but I now have come closer. The January issue's article with photos by Clinton Etheridge Jr. '69 about his Peace Corps service as a teacher in Gambia, and about his return visit 40 years later with his children and one grandchild—but minus his recently deceased wife—was touching in multiple ways. I felt included in his family journey.
Swarthmore has been generating Peace Corps volunteers since the corps' beginning in 1961. My class of 1963 provided four—two to the Philippines, one each to Colombia and Guatemala. By now there are dozens of PCVs from the College who have served; all our stories are different yet also similar.
Clinton's account illustrates the unpredictable paths, widely separated by time and space, that our own lives take. Yet there remain enduring ties that can be partially renewed, and opportunities for new connections. I especially appreciated Clinton's family's exploration of its slavery roots, a heritage whites do not have.
One of my personal realities is that I instantly tend to trust fellow returned PCVs (there are more than 200,000 of us now). Clinton's sharing of his trip reinforces my belief. I look forward to further friendship based on Swarthmore and other adventures. I hope that the family healing process that motivated his trip in 2011 continues.

What a treat to have another article by Clinton Etheridge in the January Bulletin. "What is Africa to Me?" not only provides another chapter in the author's powerful personal story but provoked me to think about the trajectories our lives take and how our relationships with children and grandchildren change with time and circumstance. As Clinton writes, "People are more alike than they are different," and I found we share many experiences of family.
His 2005 article "Crucible of Fire" provided a new perspective on events I well remembered as transforming my senior year and my view of activism. "What is Africa to Me?" gives a picture of Gambia and Africa today and 40 years ago, about which I know very little. I look forward to the next Etheridge publication. Thank you for continued production of a great magazine.

RSP Permian: Rising global demand will boost prices
'Three years from now we'll be glad for every barrel available'
The chief executive officer of RSP Permian recently recalled how the Barnett Shale and Eagle Ford were going strong about 15 years ago. Steve Gray, addressing the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Liquids Rich Basins Conference-North America, also recalled that at that same time, an engineer told him, "Those molecules won't move through that shale," which drew a chuckle from his audience at the Petroleum Club on Thursday.
Gray recounted how production in the Permian increased steadily from the 1920s into the 1950s, reaching 1 million barrels a day in 1958 before peaking in the early 1970s and entering a 30-year decline.
During those 30 years, he said new technology was developed -- from waterfloods to carbon dioxide floods to 3-D seismic -- but that new technology only caused blips in the Permian decline curve.
Then in 2008 and 2009, Permian production began a significant turnaround, "not just in horizontal wells but vertical wells," he said.
He said the turnaround was the result of three things: improvements in horizontal drilling, advances in hydraulic fracturing and oil prices exceeding $100 a barrel.
The Permian is producing more than 2 million barrels a day and that output is expected to reach 3 million, 4 million or even 5 million barrels in coming years, he said. That's possible because of operators delineating reservoirs through their drilling, efficiency gains and technological improvements, Gray said.
He said operators do face challenges, such as water management, well performance and reserve life and the price of oil.
When he asked the audience how many expected prices to be between $40 and $50 a barrel in the next couple of years, a number of hands were raised. A similar number of hands were raised when he asked how many expected prices between $50 and $60 a barrel. No hands went up when he asked how many expected prices over $60 a barrel.
He said people tell him prices would be $70 a barrel if Permian Basin shale producers had just slowed down their drilling activity.
"Ten or 15 years ago, Permian production was below 1 million barrels a day and only 1 percent of U.S. production. This year it will be 2.5 million barrels a day but still just 2.5 percent. It bothers me when people point the finger at us," he said.
He told the audience that market forces can be expected to lift prices as global oil demand continues to grow, largely in developing countries such as China and India.
Citing forecasts that have global demand reaching 100 million barrels a day in the next three years -- up from the current 97 million barrels a day -- Gray said that established production is declining 14 million barrels a day. That's a 17 million-barrel-a-day gap that will have to be met just to keep up with demand, he said.
"The Permian Basin will do its part, maybe hitting 4 million barrels a day. But where's the rest going to come from?" he said.
Gray said that before prices fell, there were 40 big, expensive offshore projects funded, but only 10 or 15 have been funded since prices fell.
"That's billions of dollars in investment that's not come into the market the last three years," he said. "These are big projects that have five-year timelines. Canada's tar sands production will go up this year but that's because new projects that were commissioned when prices were high are coming online. But there aren't any new projects. The North Sea is another example. Three years from now we'll be glad for every barrel available."
He told the audience he's a little more optimistic than some of his peers and said oil prices won't hit $100 again but, without the big projects needed to boost production, prices will be in the high $50s or low $60s, "which is a great number for the Permian."

For President Donald Trumps very first address to Congress on Tuesday, very first woman Melania Trump used a black, belted Michael Kors clothing that retailed for$ 10,000.
Though some news outlets were surprised by the color, sequins and the price of the attire, others explained that Kors was really a significant Hillary Clinton advocate . On Wednesday early morning, Kors nicely explained in a declaration that he did not gown Melania for the occasion:
Mrs. Trump has actually been a long time customer at our New York shop , he stated, inning accordance with the New York Times. She has an eager understanding of what works best for her and her way of life. My embroidered black fit shows the structured glamour that she is understood for.
Dressing the very first woman of the United States is a controversial concern due to the fact that of her spouses policies and actions, prior to and after he was chosen president. Lots of designers have actually made it clear that they will not dress Melania, consisting of Derek Lam, Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim and, possibly most outspokenly, Tom Ford and Sophie Theallet.
As one who makes every effort and commemorates for variety, private flexibility, and regard for all way of lives, I will not take part in associating or dressing in any method with the next very first woman. The rhetoric of bigotry, xenophobia and sexism let loose by her hubbies governmental project are incompatible with the shared worths we live by, Theallet stated in an open letter she composed in November.
Other designers, like Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger and Thom Browne, have actually stated they would voluntarily dress the FLOTUS.
I do not have an issue dressing the very first girl of this nation, whoever it is, Herrera stated at her current New York Fashion Week program. I believe its from regard for the United States.

When my husband suggested, 25 years ago, that we move to the Eastern Shore of Maryland from the DC suburbs where I'd grown up, I must admit, I was reluctant. I had a list of reasons why I didn't want to move: it was too far to commute, I didn't know anyone, there was nothing to do across the Chesapeake Bay bridge. To me the Eastern Shore was a pass-through on the way to the beach in Ocean City. But it didn't take long once I was there to discover how wrong I was.
The mystique of the vast network of creeks and rivers that lead to the bay, the abundance of wildlife, the myriad of fascinating places to visit, but mostly the warm, interesting, and at times, eccentric residents, made me realize I had found a truly inspirational gem.
The Chesapeake Bay, a unique estuary, rich in history and beauty, provides the perfect setting for any story. It's like stepping back in time, watching the fishing boats head out at sunrise through misty fog or walking down the cobbled streets of the quaint towns lined with historic homes. And I soon learned that with that history came numerous accounts of places that were haunted. Everywhere I went, I heard tales of paranormal activity, from Wish Sheppard, who in 1915 was arrested for rape, but swore he was innocent until the day he died, and whose hand print mysteriously keeps reappearing on the cell wall at the Denton Jail no matter how many times they paint over it, to Sara at Poplar Hill Mansion in Salisbury, a servant who in the early 1800s tragically died in a fire and is said to come back to the house, periodically.
And then one day I was having a conversation with my neighbor, whose father had once owned the farm that we now live on. He told me that several years before we moved to the farm, his father had been living in a house down the road about a quarter mile away and had been fatally shot by an unknown assailant on his doorstep. The mystery is still unsolved to this day. But what really caught my attention was when my neighbor said that his father had been seen walking the halls of the home where he was killed long after the shooting.
I was hooked. I knew there was a story just waiting to be told. And that's when I began working on Haverford House (CreateSpace, 2013), the story of Josh and Libby Langston who move from Baltimore to the small town of Corsica, buying a house that had sat abandoned for many years. A house that had been built in the 1800's by a sea captain, James Haverford, for his wife and children. Libby, who has the summer off from teaching, discovers that the house has secrets and that someone is trying to get her to shed light on them. Set against the mystically beautiful waters of the bay, Libby is soon drawn into the intriguing mysteries that the house has kept hidden.
In Belle Grove (CreateSpace, November 2016), the second in the Corsica Series, the town comes to life again, when Libby finds herself faced with another puzzle to be solved. Both novels are not only rich in setting detail but have unique characters that were inspired from actual residents of the Shore.
Since writing my novels, I've had a number of people ask me if I believe in ghosts. And although I've never had an actual encounter with one, sometimes when I'm by myself, riding my horse along the tree line of the farm and I gaze up at the gentle honking of a flock of snow geese, flying overhead, their wings tipped coral from the setting sun, I feel a gush of cool air whip by me, hear the fluttering leaves that settle in the woods and I wonder if maybe I'm not alone.
Katherine Winfield is a seventh-generation Washingtonian currently residing on a farm nestled in the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The rich culture of the Eastern Shore provides the setting for her novels, and the colorful inhabitants of the region serve as inspiration for her unique characters. Winfield has been writing for more than thirty years, all while running a business with her husband, raising three kids and caring for countless animals. For more information, visit www.katherinewinfield.com and connect with her on Facebook.
Belle Grove is available online via Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as select local bookstores.

The transformation of love to disgust is getting so real for R.Kelly as Celine Dion recently joined the long list of celebrities trying to have nothing to do with him by removing her 1998 R. Kelly duet "I'm Your Angel" from all digital streaming platforms.
The tune, which was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, was part of Celine's Christmas album "These Are Special Times."
The record was also nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals at the 1999 Grammys.
"I'm Your Angel" is still available to stream on R. Kelly's R., as well as the compilations The R. in R&B Collection, Vol. 1 and The Essential R. Kelly. Kelly is credited as the primary artist on those releases.
Following Dion's removal request—as reported by TMZ—the song no longer features on any releases attributed to Dion herself.
Dion's decision to take "I'm Your Angel" off DSPs came after Lifetime aired the documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly," in which many people talk about Kelly's history of alleged abuse.
Several artistes who have collaborated with R. Kelly, like Chance the Rapper, Lady Gaga, and Phoenix—have also apologized for their collaborations. G

It was pretty easy to predict (and MDN predicted it), that a very youthful Aubrey McClendon would not just sit on his hands and lick his wounds after being unceremoniously tossed aside by corporate raider Carl Icahn and other Chessy investors. MDN said this on April 1:
Why is it an error to show McClendon to the door even in light of his aggressive financial deals? You think McClendon will take his piles of money and sit on a Caribbean beach somewhere? In your dreams! He'll be back, and he'll start (or buy) another company that will directly compete with Chesapeake. You can bank on it. (McClendon Exits Chesapeake, Well-Bonused "Friends" Replace Him)
And what's this? Just two weeks after exiting stage left, Aubrey has registered three new company names, set up an office, and hung out his shingle. Stetson hats off to the man:

Make some noise Scotland - The Silencers confirm Glasgow Christmas 2010 date
Posted: 25th October 2010
Now normally we mention tours but this date is too good a chance to pass up - The Silencers live at the ABC Glasgow.
Not heard of them? Watch the video and you'll get a flavour of this over-looked and under-rated band that hovered around the same playing-field as Deacon Blue, Love and Money and Lloyd Cole, with a bit of added folk for good measure (but not in a Runrig way).
Positively worshipped north of the border, the band has announced that they will play at Glasgow's ABC once again on 18th December, making this a bit of a Christmas bash. Tickets are just £15 for what will be a pretty partisan night and if you happen to be in Glasgow on this particular Saturday, make sure you can get in.
Originally the band's founders, Jimme O'Neill and Cha Burnz (who sadly passed away in 2007) were in the also-overlooked post-punk band Fingerprintz, creators of three ahead-of-their-time albums and a sack of great singles including "Dancing With Myself", "Shadowed" and "Bulletproof Heart", a song that later became a big hit around Northern Europe for The Silencers (in 1991).
Although they only notched up a trio of minor hits in "Painted Moon", "I Can Feel It" and "Scottish Rain", The Silencers certainly have an avid following meaning that this gig will fly out. Now come and play a gig in London, fellas.

"Laying down your arms, surrendering, saying you are sorry,
realizing that you have been on the wrong track and
getting ready to start life over again from the ground floor -
that is the only way out of a hole."
- C.S. Lewis
"Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar,
and there remember that your brother has something against you,
leave your offering there before the altar and go;
first be reconciled to your brother,
and then come and present your offering."
Matthew 5:23-24
Lord, make sure that I may lay down all the disputes next to me
and let me reconcile with all those who just might have something against me.
Let me be humble enough to apologize to others let me put all evil thoughts aside. Let me think good in advance regarding all persons, because I want to be peaceable with all persons.

ISLAMABAD, Aug 4 (APP): German Ambassador Ina Lepel called on Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research Sikandar Hayat Bosan here Thursday and discussed various issues and prospects related to agriculture machinery and livestock.
The minister discussed about the available market and the importance of livestock for Pakistan's economy, said a press release issued here.
The matter of import of live animals from Germany to Pakistan was discussed.
The import of animals due to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) infection is banned since 2001 from certain countries including Germany, however the Pakistan government revised the policy in 2014 and lifted the ban on import of live cattle from few countries which were declared "negligible risk" by International Animal Health Organization (IAHO) and subjected to the other conditions as well.
Germany however, still is in the list of banned countries and cannot export its animals to Pakistan. The German Ambassador desired to confirm its current status from International Animal Health Organization.
Once Germany is classified as BSE negligible risk country by the OIE, then the harmonization certificate would be needed to start the export of live animals from Germany to Pakistan.
Bosan further said Pakistan is a very vibrant market and the country is driving to revolutionize through the import of exotic dairy animals and others. This will help to boost the production of meat and milk.
Pakistan is world's fifth largest milk producing country and German ambassador appreciated and wondered if Pakistan is exporting milk.
The minister further said that the government is supporting Subsistence Dairy Farming, Peri Urban Dairy Farming and the market that caters to the consumers of processed milk.
The minister asked the German Ambassador to secure the desired status from OIE, then it will have easier access to Pakistan's livestock market.

The entire planet goes today through a major change in terms of development of the renewable energy sector, especially solar energy and wind power because we can't continue destroying the environment as we did before.
The Trumps administration in the U.S. seems to be more interested to invest in coal and other fossil fuels, instead of investing to increase the renewable energy generation capacity of the country.
However, other countries in Europe and Asia are continuing the investments in renewable energy, mostly onshore and offshore wind power in Europe, and both wind and solar power in Asia, mainly in countries like China and India.
Solar Power in China and India
China is the leader in terms of solar energy generation capacity today.
Being the world's largest market for solar PV (photovoltaic) panels and solar thermal technology, China has also become the world's leader in terms of solar energy installations.
In 2015, China has become the world's largest producer of solar PV power by surpassing Germany, while in 2017, China has become the first country in the world with a generation capacity for solar energy that surpassed 100 GW in installed power.
It seems that China didn't stopped there because in 2018 the country reached a cumulative installed capacity of 174 GW for solar energy.
Such a drastic increase of generation capacity for solar in just one year, was possible due to the fact that China hosts today the largest and the fourth largest solar parks on the planet.
AEN News recently posted an article about the top largest solar power plants in the world today.
Tengger Desert Solar Park also called the Great Wall of China is the largest photovoltaic solar power plant in the world today with a generation capacity of 1,547 MW (1.54 GW).
Tengger Park occupies in the desert an area of 43 square kilometers, and was commissioned in 2016.
The fourth largest solar park on the planet is also located in China and is called Datong Solar Power Top Runner Base.
This very large solar PV power plant is shaped like a Giant Panda, and is the second largest solar park in China.
The first phase of this massive solar project was recently completed and now the solar park has a generation capacity of 1,000 MW (1 GW).
When the entire project will be finished, the Datong Solar Power Top Runner Base will reach an output of 3,000 MW (3 GW).
India is another Asian country that decided to massively invest in solar energy.
The largest solar PV (photovoltaic) power station in India today is the Bhadla Solar Park (the largest in the country) and the second largest on the planet.
The solar park occupies an are of 40 square kilometers in Bhadla, Phalodi tehsil, Jodhpur district, Rajasthan, India.
In 2018, this huge solar PV power station had an output of 1,365 MW (1.36 GW).
The entire project has four phases, and when all of them will be completed, the solar park will reach an output that will exceed 2,255 MW (2.25 GW).
Solar power in United States
The U.S. is way behind China in terms of solar power generation capacity (51 GW in installed power in 2017).
Due to the fact that the Trump administration wants to revive the coal sector instead of continuing the fight against climate change by increasing the country's capacity to generate solar and wind power, it is likely that the gap between
China and the U.S. in terms of renewable energy will increase even more.
It is true that compared to coal or natural gas, solar energy can be more expensive, but let's not forget that solar technology becomes cheaper every year and can be considered an investment into our future because the Sun is the main source of clean energy for mankind in this corner of the universe.

- Natural Power sponsor PhD in Power Forecasting
(businesspress24) - Leading renewable energy and infrastructure consultancy, Natural Power, is to collaborate with the University of Strathclyde and The Data Lab to jointly sponsor Rosemary Tawn for a PhD in Short-Term Wind and Solar Power Forecasting.
The three and half year PhD will focus on improving power forecasting for renewable energy assets, and it is anticipated that work on upgrading Natural Power''s forecasting system will begin in 2019.
Callum McLean, Head of Innovation and Data at Natural Power said: "Forecasting is a key service for our ControlCentre clients who are connected to the National Grid transmission network. As the amount of electricity generated by renewable technology increases, we want to ensure that our clients have the highest level of forecasting accuracy at their fingertips to enable them to optimise generation and lower costs through the use of data."
Improved energy forecasting methods will also ensure Natural Power can optimise maintenance scheduling.
The collaboration, which was facilitated by The Data Lab, will see Rosemary based at Natural Power''s Stirling office where she will work closely with the software team and Senior Asset Performance Engineer, Dr Iain Dinwoodie, who will act as her industrial supervisor.
Rosemary said: "I''m excited to build on ideas from current research to produce a close to real-time power forecasting model suitable for use in industry through Natural Power, ultimately aiming to improve operation of wind farms and help balance electricity supply and demand in the UK."
Dr Jethro Browell, Research Fellow, Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University of Strathclyde, who recently won the Wind Power Forecasting Competition at the European Energy Markets Conference, is Rosemary''s supervisor. He said: "Forecasting is increasingly important as our energy system becomes more diverse and weather dependent, as is innovation in the way forecasts are used by the energy industry. Accurate forecasts are essential to keep costs down for both generators and consumers. Working with Natural Power provides a direct link between cutting-edge research and industry, reducing the time between scientific discovery and societal benefit."

Japan's troops in South Sudan become first test of new 'collective self-defense' policy
Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers in South Sudan, wearing United Nations blue helmets (Diplomat)
Japan has had peacekeeping troops from its Self-Defense Force (SDF) in South Sudan since 2012, but they were restricted to doing only one kind of thing – rebuilding the country's infrastructure, such as roads and refugee camps. In particular, they were forbidden from taking part in any military operation of any kind, because Japan's pacifist constitution, written at the end of World War II, restricts military action to Japanese soil, and then only for self-defense from an invader.
Japan's prime minister Shinzo Abe has approved a change taking effect on November 20 that will deploy 350 SDF troops to South Sudan and allow them to engage in combat if they are attacked, or if other nations' peacekeepers are attacked.
This seems to be a relatively mild change in military orders, but in fact it is a major change in policy. Based on campaigning by Shinzo Abe, in 2015 Japan adopted new "collective self-defense" laws, partially departing from the pacifism in the constitution. The old self-defense clause of the constitution has been interpreted to permit military action only when Japan itself is being attacked, and only on Japanese soil. The new collective self-defense laws reinterpret the self-defense clause to include "collective self-defense," which would permit military action anywhere in the world under some circumstances when an ally (such as the United States) is attacked. I discussed the meaning of "collective self-defense" in detail in 2014 in "5-May-2014 World View — Japan debates 'collective self-defense' to protect America and Japan".
The reinterpretation of the self-defense clause has been extremely divisive in Japan, and at the time it was passed it even resulted in some fists being thrown in the Diet (Japan's parliament). Abe said that the change was essential for the survival of Japan, while opponents say that approving the exercise of the right to collective self-defensive is a "slippery slope" that will keep expanding to permit additional non-defense military activity.
Opponents of the South Sudan deployment in Japan do indeed view the it as the first step on a slippery slope. According to an editorial in Japan Times:
Possible use of weapons by the SDF troops in rescuing civilians under attack might trigger counterattacks by enemy forces, which could erupt into unexpected fighting. The chance of such developments cannot be ruled out in the extremely fluid security situation in South Sudan. The Abe administration may think that the new mandate, which will be given to the 350 Ground Self-Defense Force personnel to be dispatched there next month, will bring Japan's peacekeeping mission closer to international standards. But the government should also be aware of, and be accountable for, what it could possibly entail.

United Nations warns of mass atrocities in South Sudan
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is warning of a "very real risk of mass atrocities" in South Sudan and that peacekeepers deployed in the country will not be able to stop such a bloodbath. According to Ban, "There is a very real risk of mass atrocities being committed in South Sudan, particularly following the sharp rise in hate speech and ethnic incitement in recent weeks."
The mass atrocities are occurring as a result of renewed ethnic fighting between the Dinka tribe of president Salva Kiir and the Nuer tribe, led by former vice president Riek Machar. Kiir and Machar signed a peace agreement last year in August, but it fell apart several months ago.
The last generational crisis war between the Dinka and Nuer tribes climaxed in 1991 with the "Bor Massacre," in which hundreds of thousands of Dinkas in the Bor community were starved, displaced or killed by invading Nuer militias led by Machar. Thus, South Sudan is in a generational Awakening era, and there are many survivors of the Bor Massacre from both sides who do not want to see anything so horrible happen again, and will do anything they can to prevent it. So an event similar to the Bor Massacre will not occur, and Ban's concern about a new full-scale civil war are not realistic.
What we are seeing in South Sudan is a familiar pattern that I have described many times in countries like Syria, Burundi, Thailand, and Zimbabwe, starting 5-15 years after the climax of a generational ethnic crisis war. The leadership in the country, which represents one ethnic tribe or group, decides that in order to prevent a new civil war, it's necessary to impose "security" by having the security forces commit atrocities against the other ethnic group.

Bug of the moment 2010-01-02
While using Batch-RegEx to clean up outdated PHP code, I mistakenly handed it a whole folder tree, which generally causes a crash when binary files are encountered. The program did indeed crash when I tried to cancel the operation.
However, despite the crash, I was still able to focus the progress window and highlight text:
In fact, I could focus the main window and continue typing into it as though nothing had even happened:
Batch-RegEx is threaded, so I figured that the crash occurs within the worker thread, and that Dr Watson comes along and terminates the offending thread leaving the rest of the program still functional until the crash dialog is closed. This suggested that I would be able to perform a fresh search and replace job while the last one was still crashed. I tested this theory with success as illustrated in this screenshot.
Too bad this doesn't work in any other software!

Speak The Web, Leeds, 2013
— 30th July 2013
I went to see Speak The Web last again week in Leeds. I say again because I went to the last one (Feb 2010) which was ace so I made a bit of an effort to go to this one. It didn't disappoint.
I arrived at the Wardrobe a bit early and was ushered downstairs where just a few people had already arrived and were scattered around the place. The room itself is a bit like a jazz/comedy club with a little sunken area in the middle with tables and stools surrounded by kind of balcony seats around the edge and flanked by a bar at the back. It was actually just the right kind of venue for this kind of thing.
There were four talks during the evening.
Syd LawrenceFirst up was Syd Lawrence who gave one of those "here's a load of stuff we've done" talks which was entertaining and totally impressive – as talks like that should be. Some excellent little ideas which had been thoroughly followed through on and that had occasionally resulted in some real big-name commissions. It was ramshackle in places but all the more inspiring for being so; giving you such a tangible idea of how possible some of the things were that it made you want to rush out and start building that thing you'd had bouncing around your brain recently. Highlights were a wonderful networked high-five machine and a great piece of live-coding / audience participation involving us texting a message to (and getting a reply from) an app we were watching him build.
Ruth JohnSecond was Ruth John who works for O2 in their The Lab thing which sounds like an excellent excuse to muck around with cool tech and get paid for it. Ruth talked us through the new Firefox OS for mobiles and gave us a brief rundown of how easy it is both to create / distribute apps but also to use the device APIs which Firefox has enabled. It sounded very very good and, with just that (rather important) caveat of performance not being great, it's incredibly exciting to finally be seeing something like this hit the market. Excellent news that apps can be deployed directly from the web (unless they need to access users more private data) rather than though a mandatory App Store too. Ruth also threw herself under the bus of live-coding and chose (of all things) the light sensor API to demonstrate in this most dark of darkened rooms. It did work finally and fair play to her for keeping on. I can't wait to see what's going to happen with Firefox OS.
Phil HawksworthNext up was Phil Hawksworth from RGA. His talk: I Can Smell Your CMS was actually one I'd heard being mentioned somewhere before so I was delighted to realise I was going to see it live. It was brilliant. Not only did he rattle through a thoroughly excellent set of (well kerned) slides but the point was perfect. One of those times where you have at the back of your mind an idea, or maybe even just a sense of unease, and it's not until you see someone talking about it that you really realise what it is. Not only his point about the piles of crap which many CMS's leave in your code but also (maybe more so) about the idea that most CMS's allow clients to destroy their website far too easily.
Clients + Markdown = ?It's pleasant at events like this to hear from people who think similarly to yourself. It's an extra delight to hear someone who has not only faced the same problems but as thought further ahead and has some suggestions for real solutions. The idea that you could ask clients to enter their content in markdown is so tantalisingly crazy that ... it just might work! ;-)
Rachel AndrewI was unable to stay long enough to see the end of that last talk by Rachel Andrew. It was a real shame because I was really looking forward to seeing her talk. I'm a huge fan of Perch. The idea, the code, the business model, the approach, the direction it seem to be going in. Again it's one of those web things which just makes sense. It does things right and having spent enough time grappling with things that don't that's like a breath of fresh air. I have heard Rachel talk about it before so I'm hoping I didn't miss too much I haven't already heard. Still it was a shame to have to go.
I had a really great time at Speak The Web this year. I really hope Dan and Jack come back again for another some time.
Cheers guys.

Essar sells BPO unit Aegis to Capital Square PartnersThursday, April 06, 2017
New Delhi, April 4 -- Essar Group has agreed to sell its business process outsourcing (BPO) unit Aegis Ltd to private equity firm Capital Square Partners in a deal that two people aware of the development said was worth as much as $300 million. Essar, which is exiting the BPO business, will use the proceeds of the sale to repay debt. The transaction is expected to close in the current quarter, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals. "This transaction is in line with our strategy of incubating, building and operating world-class businesses, and being open to monetizing them at a premium value when the market conditions are favourable," Uday Gujadhar, director at AGC Holdings Ltd Mauritius, a holding company of Aegis, said in a statement on Monday. Singapore-based Capital Square Partners has deep domain expertise and an understanding of South-East Asia to ensure that the company continues to grow, Gujadhar said. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The two people cited above spoke on condition on anonymity. Aegis has clients in multiple sectors including telecom, technology, media, banking, financial services and insurance, travel and logistics, retail and e-commerce. The company employs 40,000 people across 47 offices worldwide, offering services including lifecycle management, technology services, back-office services and social media analytics. Its annual revenue is around $400 million. Sanjay Chakrabarty and Mukesh Sharda, managing partners of Capital Square Partners, said in a joint statement: "We are excited about the opportunity to work with the Aegis management team in embarking on the next stage of growth, by focusing on innovation and adding our sector knowledge and expertise." Capital Square Partners has in the past invested in technology services and BPO sectors, including its acquisition of Minacs Ltd in early 2014; Minacs was subsequently acquired by Synnex Corp. in 2016 and merged with its unit Concentrix. The Aegis sale comes on the heels of Essar Group selling Essar Oil Ltd in a $13 billion transaction with Rosneft PJSC, Russia's biggest listed oil producer, and a consortium of Trafigura and United Capital Partners. The deal in October last year marked the biggest foreign direct investment in India till date. The transaction was an outcome of debt-related stress in the Essar Group, which at the time of the Essar Oil sale had debt of Rs1.3 trillion, according to an estimate by Kotak Institutional Equities. Like other debt-laden conglomerates, Essar has been seeking to raise funds through asset sales to pay creditors. In January, Press Trust of India reported that private equity investor Farallon Capital was in talks to acquire a 24% stake in Essar Steel Ltd for $250 million. Essar's advisers in the Aegis transaction included Axis Capital as financial adviser, and Platinum Partners and Sidley Austin as legal advisers. Shearman & Sterling and Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas acted as legal advisers for Capital Square Partners. Published by HT Digital Content Services with permission from MINT.

Matiur Rahman Nizami , the Chief of the Islamic fundamentalist party Jamat-e-Islami , one of the partners in the present coalition government in Bangladesh has claimed that International conspiracy is behind the blasts in Bangladesh. He specifically blamed India and named MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence agency for the growth of Islamic terrorist outfits in the border region in Bangladesh. Quoting Veena Sikri, the Indian High Commissioner in Bangladesh who is said to have blamed Islamists for the attacks, Mr Nizami cited this statement in what he claimed to be the Indian involvement. He thinks the conspirators want Bangladesh to be proven as an extremist country paving the way for foreign interference. He also alleged that no effort is being made against Jamatul Mujahidin which apparently has claimed responsibility for the attack, instead Jamat-e-Islami is being blamed.Photo: Courtsey: The Daily Sangram

What happens when you gather A-list Sacramento Musicians with seasoned Northern California singer-songwriter Katie Knipp? A stunning result of emotive, catchy tunes on her 4th studio recording, an EP titled "Nice To Meet You".
"I wanted to go big this time," says Katie. Aside from the usual Knipp on piano, acoustic guitar and vocals, the band consists of Gerry Pineda on both upright and electric bass, Peter Philis on drums, Chet Chwalik on trumpet, Jeremy Springer on Hammond b3, Samantha Olson on violin, and Blue Lamp owner Ed Stoner on electric guitar.
The EP opens up with "Gone to Town", a self-proclaimed "creepy" tune about a sweaty murder in the middle of a desert. "I like to write fiction here and there aside from the deeply personal songs life has forced me to create. It's great fun!" Katie is an artist that doesn't take herself too seriously, making fun live performances in various formats—solo, band, duo, whatever the gig calls for. Her style encompasses mainly blues, rock, and folk, with comparisons from Bonnie Raitt to Tori Amos.
Although many of her songs are "on the dark side", she makes up for it by having such a great time on stage interacting with the crowd, having found that perfect balance for great entertainment. Her guitarist, Ed Stoner, also known as Kentucky Slim, can not only scream out Southern guttural blues on "Parade of Pain", but also intimately generates heartfelt slide on "When I was a Child" and "Nice to Meet You".
"Waiting for Life to Begin" is a funky tune about her Mom's life being spared with a liver transplant last December, upbeat and full of hope. This EP is a huge leap forward for Katie, and it wouldn't be a shock if the rest of the world finally catches on to this soon to be household name.

As you may know, I missed the actual Christmas day with my family. We celebrated early and then I returned to Asia to complete my course. Santa still arrived on Christmas eve and my two little ones figured he would be tired, hungry and thirsty. Traditionally he would have gotten a glass of milk and some cookies, this year was the exception. I will let you read their letter to Santa. Cheers to you all out there and may you have a wonderful New Year. Salut….
