Massenbach*VATIKAN NEWS: Syrien: Franziskaner beklagen Dschihadistenterror.
Kirchliche Organisationen wiesen demgegenüber auf die gezielt gegen die christliche Infrastruktur gerichteten Attacken der Rebellen hin. –
Erstmals ist ein Hilfskonvoi in die belagerte syrische Rebellenenklave Ost-Ghouta gelangt. Auf die seit Wochen andauernden pausenlosen Granaten- und Raketenangriffe der Rebellen auf die christlichen Viertel von Damaskus weisen laut Stiftung "Pro Oriente" an diesem Montag syrische Bischöfe und Kirchenverantwortliche hin.
Der Konvoi mit Hilfsgütern der UNO und des Internationalen Komitees vom Roten Kreuz (IKRK) traf am Montag in der belagerten Region bei Damaskus ein, wie die UNO mitteilte. Laut WHO wurden von den syrischen Behörden aber wichtige medizinische Hilfsgüter blockiert. Kirchliche Organisationen wiesen demgegenüber auf die gezielt gegen die christliche Infrastruktur gerichteten Attacken der Rebellen hin.
"Pro Oriente" zitierte in einer Aussendung den Franziskaner Bahjat Elia Karach mit den Worten: "Die Christen fühlen sich verlassen und frustriert, weil sich niemand um das kümmert, was in den christlichen Vierteln auf Grund des ständigen Beschusses vorgeht. Als christliche Gemeinschaft können wir nichts anderes tun als beten und so vielen Menschen wie möglich konkrete Hilfe leisten, ohne auf Religionsbekenntnis oder Ethnie zu schauen, wie das auch Papst Franziskus verlangt, der als einziger ,Leader' in der Welt Frieden für Syrien fordert."
Am 1. März hätten in der Umgebung des Franziskanerklosters im Bezirk Bab Touma 13 Raketen eingeschlagen, "alle punktgenau zu dem Zeitpunkt, an dem die Kinder und Jugendlichen aus den Schulen kommen". Die Absicht, Kinder und Jugendliche zu treffen, sei offensichtlich gewesen, so Karach.
Der maronitische Erzbischof von Damaskus, Samir Nassar, hob in einem Hirtenwort hervor, dass die Intensität der Kämpfe "nicht nur die von den Dschihadisten als Geiseln genommene Zivilbevölkerung von Ost-Ghouta" betreffe. So habe sich landesweit der Exodus besonders unter Jugendlichen und Männern beschleunigt, sodass es bereits spürbaren Arbeitskräftemangel trotz der schlechten Wirtschaftslage gebe. Die Syrer seien heute ein "Volk der Armut, das von Zuwendungen und Bettelei leben" müsse. 80 Prozent der im Gesundheitswesen Tätigen – "darunter die meisten Ärzte" – hätten das Land verlassen. Das führe dazu, dass 60 Prozent der Verwundeten und Verletzten sterben.
( see next article: Stability Operations in Syria -The Need for a Revolution in Civil-Military Affairs)
Den großen internationalen Presseagenturen zufolge haben die Regierungstruppen bereits ein Drittel der letzten großen Rebellenenklave unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht. Unterdessen forderte der UNO-Menschenrechtsrat in Genf eine dringende Untersuchung der jüngsten Angriffe und Bombardierungen in Ost-Ghouta.
Syrien: "Der Westen sagt nur einen Teil der Wahrheit"
Kirchenleute im Nahen Osten werfen dem Westen häufig vor, einen verzerrten Blick auf die dortigen Konflikte zu haben. Auch William Shomali sieht das so. Der Patriarchal-Vikar für Jordanien kritisiert die westliche Haltung zum Syrien-Krieg.
Stefan von Kempis – Vatikanstadt
"Anderthalb Millionen syrische Flüchtlinge halten sich in Jordanien auf, und ebenso viele im Libanon", sagt Shomali im Gespräch mit Vatican News. "Sie fliehen vor Armut, vor allem aber vor dem Tod – sie haben Angst vor dem Tod. Für sie ist das eine Art Dritter Weltkrieg!"
Ein Weltkrieg, bei dem der Westen in der Wahrnehmung der Öffentlichkeit weitgehend abseits steht. Dabei ist er nach Bischof Shomalis Analyse gar nicht unbeteiligt an dem Schlachten.
"Für eine Lösung der syrischen Krise müsste man wirklich zusammenarbeiten! Sie ist nicht nur eine Krise unter syrischen Kriegsgegnern, sie ist auch eine Krise unterschiedlicher Perspektiven Europas und Amerikas. Man achte nur auf den großen Unterschied zwischen der Vision Russlands und Amerikas."
"In Damaskus gibt es genauso viele Tote"
Bischof Shomali spricht es nicht aus, aber mit "Zusammenarbeit" meint er durchaus, dass der Westen auch mit dem syrischen Präsidenten Bashar al-Assad sprechen müsste. Aber der Westen ist ja verblendet, was Syrien betrifft, das sieht der Weihbischof im Lateinischen Patriarchat von Jerusalem genauso wie andere Kirchenleute in Nahost.
"Der Westen sagt nur einen Teil der Wahrheit. Ein Beispiel: Assad bombardiert Ost-Ghouta in der Nähe von Damaskus, und man spricht von 600 Toten. Aber keiner spricht von den 600 Toten durch den Beschuss der Rebellen, die von Ost-Ghouta aus ins Stadtzentrum von Damaskus zielen! Da gibt es genauso viele Tote."

- February 27, 2018 – REUTERS/Carlos Barria – Andrey Kortunov – Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, RIAC member
(…While the Republican victory in the race for the White House appeared to come as a surprise to most Russian political analysts and the political leadership, it was greeted with reactions ranging from cautious optimism to outright elation…Looking back, Russia made at least three tactical (not strategic) mistakes after the new Republican administration came to power. Perhaps a change in the trajectory of U.S.-Russia relations was still possible in January 2017, but the mistakes had a significant cumulative effect that obliterated the modest chance of such change.
…..For many in the Russian political class, confronting the United States is an even more significant part of foreign policy. It is the framework that sustains other aspects of foreign policy. Unfortunately, no other framework has been found in the years since the Cold War. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the new generation of Russian political experts, journalists, and diplomats who started their careers after the Soviet collapse have adopted the old Soviet logic of geopolitical confrontation with Washington….. )
- Putin's State of the Union: Russia Can No Longer Take the US Goodwill and Commitment for Granted
- Andrey Kortunov – Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, RIAC member – March 5, 2018
(…(the) demonstration of specific artefacts of Kremlin's military might and ambitions should not conceal a more fundamental change in the Russian strategic thinking articulated by Vladimir Putin: the country is drifting in the direction of strategic isolationism. This is a clear and important deviation from both the traditional Russian (and the Soviet) strategic thinking with very serious implications for the global strategic stability…
If President Putin no longer considers strategic arms control as Russia's top security priority; if from now on Moscow relies primarily on strengthening its strategic arsenal with new futuristic weapons, it means a fundamental change in the global strategic equation. The concept of strategic stability as we have known it since early 1960s becomes antiquated and immaterial. It is not yet clear, what kind of a new arrangement may replace the old one. Another thing is clear: next years and even decades will be a bumpy road for all of us.).

(…The 2018 presidential elections will mark the beginning of a new foreign policy cycle for the Russian Federation. In the context of the elections, the main areas of foreign policy expected to be revised (with a certain amount of continuity), and these changes will be reflected in the respective conceptual foreign policy documents. The Russian presidential elections just so happen to coincide with the political cycles in a number of countries, including China, the United States, and several EU and Middle Eastern states. The "naked wire" or "dead wood" effect will only increase in international relations. Crisis scenarios may appear as a result of the intentional or unintentional actions of individual countries, or because of poor coordination in resolving issues that affect the entire world. Russia's key interest lies in creating favourable conditions for the country's internal development. Economic backwardness is a growing threat to Russia's sovereignty, narrowing the window of opportunity in foreign policy.)

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace:
|Last week's launch of "The Return of Global Russia" project illustrated how the Kremlin is returning Russia to positions of influence in regions where its impact was all but written off two decades ago.
As Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) explained in his keynote address, Russia's strategy "seeks to take advantage where it can to amplify internal divisions. It is focused on boosting cynicism and tearing down Western institutions from the inside."
The Global Russia digital feature explains the evolution and impact of this new phase in Russian foreign policy.
The Kremlin's presence is increasingly visible throughout the Middle East and parts of the Western Balkans, Latin America, and Africa. Since 2012, Vladimir Putin has engaged in a sustained campaign to expand Russia's global reach. The Kremlin is relying on a highly adaptable toolkit to chip away at the liberal international order and to capitalize on the West's inability to come up with a unified strategy to respond.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosted a keynote speech by Senator Mark Warner and panel discussion on an important new phase in Russia's more assertive foreign policy and its implications for Western policymakers.

Freudenberg-Pilster* Deutsche Bank Research: Koalitionsvertrag – Zukunft geht anders
Von Anfang an standen die Verhandlungen unter einem ungünstigen Stern. Dazu hat zunächst die Verweigerung einer Neuauflage der Groko seitens der SPD-Führung beigetragen. Dann führten die teilweise diametral entgegengesetzten Interessenlagen der Beteiligten, vermeintlich üppige finanzielle Spielräume und das Desinteresse der Bevölkerung an grundlegenden Reformen zu einem in vielen Teilen widersprüchlichen Maßnahmenkatalog, der insgesamt den Einfluss des Staates in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zu Lasten individueller Freiräume weiter erhöht. Doch derzeit überwiegt die Erleichterung darüber, dass Deutschland wieder eine "ordentliche" Regierung hat. Allerdings könnten sich wohl nicht nur die Koalitionäre bald fragen, ob der Preis nicht doch zu hoch war.
In der Sozialpolitik wird erneut die "Vollkaskomentalität" der Bürger bedient. Dabei wird der von der bisherigen Groko eingeleitete Trend vermehrter Regulierung am Arbeitsmarkt fortgesetzt, obgleich der demografische Wandel und die Digitalisierung mehr Flexibilität erfordern.
Wesentliche sozialpolitische Vorhaben laufen darauf hinaus, auf mehr Nachhaltigkeit ausgerichtete Reformen des vergangenen Jahrzehnts – zumindest ein Stück weit – zurückzudrehen.
Dementsprechend zählt die junge Generation in diesem Bereich einmal mehr zu den Verlierern einer Groko.
Mit der zweifellos notwendigen Investitionsoffensive in den Bereichen Bildung, Forschung & Entwicklung sowie Digitalisierung plant die neue Regierung, Deutschland zukunftsfest zu machen. Dazu bedürfte es aber mehr als staatlicher Gelder, nämlich hinreichenden Vertrauens in private Initiative sowie unternehmerischer Freiräume.
Fiskalische Spielräume sind derzeit vorhanden. Anstatt für konsequente steuerliche Entlastungen werden diese überwiegend für Ausgabenprogramme verwandt – was dem paternalistischen Staatsverständnis der Großkoalitionäre entspricht. Zudem dürften bei einer Normalisierung von Zinsniveau und Konjunktur bald wieder staatliche Finanzierungsdefizite entstehen.
Politics: From Vision to Action
Barandat*Military Review 05-06-2017:Stability Operations in Syria –
The Need for a Revolution in Civil-Military Affairs.
…Like far too many cases in the past, it also ignores the fact that grand strategy can only succeed if the United States not only terminates a conflict successfully but also creates conditions that provide lasting security and stability. All wars have an end, and the grand strategic goal of warfighting is never just to produce a favorable military outcome or to defeat the enemy. It is to win as lasting a victory as possible in political, economic, and security terms. The kind of thinking that led the Office of the secretary of defense to take a far more serious look at stability operations in its Biennial Assessment of Stability Operations Capabilities in 2012 is even more critical today, and cases like Syria illustrate the point…
Syria is a grim study in just how important the civil dimension of war can be, and in just how difficult the challenge of stability operations (and nation building) can be in tactical, strategic, and grand strategic terms. Many argue that the United States could have intervened decisively early in the Syrian crisis and civil war, done so at acceptable risk, done so at much lower cost, and done so before Syria became a humanitarian disaster and before some three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand Syrian civilians were killed in the fighting. There are no reliable estimates of the seriously injured, but the numbers may well be higher.
USAID estimates provide all too clear a picture of Syrian suffering at a civil level and highlight one aspect of the challenge of conducting stability operations. USAID estimates that there are 13.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in Syria in a country with a total remaining population of around 22 million. There are 6.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Syria, and U.S. aid is now critical to some 4 million people each month.11
No one has a full count of the number Syrian refugees outside Syria because many have stopped registering. Syrian refugees are, however, putting a far greater burden on neighboring states than on Europe or the token numbers that the United States may or may not admit. There are at least 4.8 million Syrian refugees in neighboring states: 2.7 million Syrian refugees in Turkey, 1 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon, 656,400 Syrian refugees in Jordan, and 225,500 Syrian refugees in Iraq.12
The situation inside Syria is already critical and is growing steadily worse. The United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned at the end of 2016,
Over half of the population has been forced from their homes, and many people have been displaced multiple times. Children and youth comprise more than half of the displaced, as well as half of those in need of humanitarian assistance. Parties to the conflict act with impunity, committing violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
Among conflict-affected communities, life-threatening needs continue to grow. Neighboring countries have restricted the admission of people fleeing Syria, leaving hundreds of thousands of people stranded in deplorable conditions on their borders. In some cases, these populations are beyond the reach of humanitarian actors.
Civilians living in thirteen besieged locations, 643,780 people in need of humanitarian assistance are denied their basic rights, including freedom of movement and access to adequate food, water, and health care. Frequent denial of entry of humanitarian assistance into these areas and blockage of urgent medical evacuations result in civilian deaths and suffering. 3.9 million people in need live in hard-to-reach areas that humanitarian actors are unable to reach in a sustained manner through available modalities.13
In the absence of a political solution to the conflict, intense and widespread hostilities are likely to persist in 2017. After nearly six years of senseless and brutal conflict, the outrage at what is occurring in Syria and what is being perpetrated against the Syrian people must be maintained. Now is the time for advocacy and now is the time for the various parties to come together and bring an end to the conflict in Syria…..
The United States now seems to lack options for either security or stability, and the U.S. ability to link some kind of meaningful military operation to effective civil-military operations, conflict termination, and reconstruction and recovery is dubious at best.
Syria's problems go far beyond its humanitarian crises and simply trying to defeat one key enemy. Even if IS is largely defeated, large numbers of IS fighters are certain to escape and disperse, and Syria will still present extraordinarily difficult security and stability problems. Any broader cease-fire is likely to either collapse under the pressure of warring factions or see new power struggles in a divided Syria between elements of the Assad regime, the main Arab rebel factions that include large numbers of Islamist extremists, and the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurds…..
The Ultimate Stability Challenge: Recovery and Reconstruction
It is far from clear how long the United States can avoid looking at the far more serious problem of recovery and reconstruction in Syria, both in terms of any broad form of conflict termination and creating any kind of lasting "victory." As bad as the civil, governance, economic, and justice sectors are in Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria is truly a failed state in terms of governance, economics, and every aspect of recovery and reconstruction…
Rebuilding the country will be a complex and monumental task. Reconstructing damaged physical infrastructure will require substantial international support and prioritization. Rebuilding Syria's human capital and social cohesion will be an even greater and lasting challenge. Considerable resources will need to go to rebuilding the lives of internally displaced people, and to encouraging the return and reintegration of refugees along with reducing the divisions and tensions between various sectarian communities. Far-reaching economic reforms will be needed to create stability, growth, and job prospects. The immediate focus would need to be on urgent humanitarian assistance, restoring macroeconomic stability and rebuilding institutional capacity to implement cohesive and meaningful reforms. In the medium term, the reform agenda could include diversifying the economy, creating jobs for the young and displaced, tackling environmental issues, and addressing long-standing issues such as the regional disparities in income and greater political and social inclusion.20
The following are key points in the IMF study:
Many factors will determine the extent and speed of rebuilding the country. Most importantly, the timeframe and success of any reconstruction will hinge on when and how the conflict is resolved.This, in turn, will shape the scope and pace of political and economic reforms. And it will determine how much external assistance is forthcoming, including whether Syria will be able to attract private investment. It will be critical to establish quick wins, including in the energy sector and agriculture, as well as in labor intensive industries such as textile or food processing, which could become drivers of growth.
The recovery will likely take a long time. The literature on post-conflict recovery shows that a longer-lasting conflict will have a more negative impact on the economy and institutions, and prolong the recovery.ix For instance, it took Lebanon, which experienced 16 years of conflict, 20 years to catch up to the real GDP level it enjoyed before the war, while it took Kuwait, which endured two years of conflict, seven years to regain its pre-war GDP level. Given the unprecedented scale of devastation, it may be difficult to compare Syria with other post conflict cases. That said, if we hypothetically assume that for Syria the post-conflict rebuilding period will begin in 2018 and the economy grows at its trend rate of about 4 1/2 percent, it would take the country about 20 years to reach its pre-war real GDP level.xAchieving a higher growth rate would allow the country to achieve a faster recovery.xi This assumes that the country can quickly restore its production capacity and human capital levels and remains intact as a sovereign territory. Any break-up of the country would affect potential growth and might require creating new institutions and governance structures.
Rebuilding damaged physical infrastructure will be a monumental task, with reconstruction cost estimates in the range of $100 to $200 billion. SCPR estimates that the destruction of physical infrastructure between 2011 and 2014 amounted to US$72–75 billion, equivalent to about 120 percent of 2010 GDP. The Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources estimated in early 2015 that the conflict has cost the oil industry alone US$27 billion from the destruction of wells, pipelines, and refineries.xii Similarly, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) suggests that it will take years for Syrian's domestic energy system to return to its pre-conflict operating status, even after the conflict subsides. xiii With the escalation of the conflict since the second half of 2015, the rebuilding estimates are likely to be much higher. More recently, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) estimated that Syria would require about $180 to $200 billion—three times the 2010 GDP.xiv
Syria will also have to grapple with deep-rooted socioeconomic challenges. The extreme rise in mass poverty, destruction of health and education services, and large-scale displacement of Syrians will pose huge challenges. Syria's population has shrunk by 20–30 percent, with 50 percent of the population internally displaced, destroyed homes, and many highly skilled workers and entrepreneurs having left the country. Moreover, the currently low school enrollment rate of children will negatively impact the country's potential output for years to come. SCPR estimated in 2014 that the loss of years of schooling by children represents a human capital deficit of $5 billion in education investment. A recent United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) report placed the loss in human capital at $10.5 billion from the loss of education of Syrian children and youth.xv Many children have been born into conflict and exposed to violence, and studies show that exposure to violent conflicts has long-term effects on generations to come. Therefore, considerable resources will need to go to rebuilding the lives of internally displaced people, and to encouraging the return and reintegration of refugees. Further, the conflict has exacerbated existing, and created new, divisions and tensions between various sectarian communities across the country that will need to be addressed in a meaningful way to promote social and political cohesion.21
The IMF study focuses on the IMF's mission, and fiscal reform and stability as the path to recovery and reconstruction. It notes that there are serious problems in getting the data needed for even an assessment, and its reform suggestions give priority to fiscal issues over political needs and conflict resolution. At the same time, the study makes it make it clear that there is a very real political and human dimension:
The post-conflict reconstruction efforts should seek to address regional disparities in income and social inclusion. Poverty and extreme poverty, according to SCPR, have worsened further with the conflict, and are highest in governorates that have been most affected by the conflict and that were historically the poorest in the country. Addressing the underpinnings of these disparities should be central to any policy package intended to bring about peace and prosperity. Innovative approaches will be required to improve the provision of public services, including reconstruction of damaged water pipelines, farm irrigation and drainage, roads, schools and hospitals, employment prospects, and access to finance at the regional levels. Institutional and governance arrangements should be considered to give local authorities greater controls over service delivery, including greater forms of fiscal decentralization.xvi However, for fiscal decentralization to work, certain critical governance conditions will need to be in place, including ensuring local authorities are held accountable and resources are spent in a transparent manner. Therefore, any decentralization efforts have to take into account Syria's new governance model, as well as the state of its institutions.
Rebuilding public institutions and improving governance will be key. This includes making fiscal policy and fiscal management effective, fair, and transparent; developing the rule of law and judiciary independence; and re-establishing and strengthening the capacity for monetary operations and banking supervision, and reforming the bank regulatory framework, including the anti-money laundry and combating terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regime.xvii These efforts would help address governance issues that plagued the country prior to the start of the conflict and contributed to regional and income disparities, and that likely have further deteriorated. They would also help facilitate the re-integration of the domestic financial system into the global economy, lower transaction costs, and reduce the size of the informal sector. Lessons from other post conflict countries show that framing an overall consistent technical assistance strategy at the outset of the post-conflict phase and securing donor coordination are critical for successful implementation of economic and institutional reforms…..

Middle East countries plan to add nuclear to their generation mix
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, International Energy Statistics, International Atomic Energy Agency, Reuters, and Bloomberg
Nuclear electricity generation capacity in the Middle East is expected to increase from 3.6 gigawatts (GW) in 2018 to 14.1 GW by 2028 because of new construction starts and recent agreements between Middle East countries and nuclear vendors. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will lead near-term growth by installing 5.4 GW of nuclear capacity by 2020.
The growth in nuclear capacity in the Middle East is largely attributable to countries in the region seeking to enhance energy security by reducing reliance on fossil fuel resources. Fossil fuels accounted for 97% of electricity production in the Middle East in 2017, with natural gas accounting for about 66% of electricity generation and oil for 31%. The remaining 3% of electricity generation in Middle East countries comes from nuclear, hydroelectricity, and other renewables.
Middle East countries are also adopting nuclear generation to meet increasing electricity demand resulting from population and economic growth. Regional electricity production was more than 1,000 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2017, and EIA expects electricity demand to increase 30% by 2028, based on projections in the latest International Energy Outlook. This growth rate is higher than the average global growth rate of 18% over that same period, and higher than the 24% expected growth in non-OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries.
Developments in building nuclear capacity in the region include
Iran is building a two-unit nuclear plant, Bushehr-II, which is designed to add 1.8 GW of nuclear capacity when completed in about 2026. Iran's original Bushehr-I facility, which came online in 2011, was the first nuclear power plant in the Middle East. Bushehr-I has one 1.0 GW reactor unit producing about 5.9 million kWh of electricity per year.
The UAE is currently constructing the four-unit Barakah nuclear power plant, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The 1.3 GW Barakah unit 1, which was started in 2012 and completed in 2017, is expected to begin electricity production by mid-2018.
Turkey began construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in late 2017. Akkuyu is a four-unit facility designed to add 4.8 GW of nuclear capacity to Turkey's generation mix. The first reactor unit is scheduled to be completed by 2025.
Saudi Arabia is planning to build its first nuclear power plant and is expected to award a construction contract for a 2.8 GW facility by the end of 2018. It has solicited bids from five vendors from the United States, South Korea, France, Russia, and China to carry out the engineering, procurement, and construction work on two nuclear reactors. Construction is expected to begin in about 2021 at one of the two proposed sites—either Umm Huwayd or Khor Duweihin.
Jordan plans to install a two-unit 2.0 GW nuclear plant and has been conducting nuclear feasibility studies with Russia's Rosatom since 2016. In early 2017, Jordan solicited bids for supplying turbines and electrical systems, and construction is expected to begin in 2019 and to be completed by 2024.

I climbed this mountain over 15 years ago when I still lived in Germany. I remember biking down one of the valleys south of Oberstdorf at dawn and then ascending via the normal route. Fantastic views from the top.

Get your "Fix" on K-96 - 'June Jaunt'
June 1- 3, 2012 marks the beginning of a great new partnership in West Central Kansas…
The K-96 June Jaunt.
Seven counties and eight communities along a 136 mile stretch on K-96 Eastward from Colorado have collaborated to attract visitors of every age.
A multitude of events and activities are planned around the central themes of arts & antiques, crafts, cuisine, music and more. Each community will design and plan its own festivities. Additionally, K-96 June Jaunters will be encouraged to move from community to community with special "traveling"activities (i.e. scavenger hunts, geo-caching, hidden treasures, or community card validations).
This is an opportunity to experience the magic of authentic rural Kansas at its best.

On the Road Again
The controller for the MasterFlux compressor comes as a circuit board with an aluminum heat sink anchored to one side and all the components open to the world on the other side. You don't have to be a computer expert to know that probably ought to be protected from the elements. I started looking for a project box big enough to put it in and would fit in the space I had picked out for it, but found none. It wasn't long before I realized I was going to have to build my own. Well, I figured that would be fun. My material of choice would be thin sheets of aluminum, but I don't have a press break, or access to one. There was no way I was going to be able to build a nice box out of metal with neat edges.
OK, that meant plastic was the material of choice. I found someone on eBay selling sheets of PVC plastic, so I ordered a 2'x4' sheet. I was able to cut it quite easily with a utility knife and a metal straight edge. It was clearly formed with a PVC foam-like material rather than the type used to cast PVC joints for plumbing. But on thing was certain, it would glue the same. I very carefully cut sheets the proper size, planning on two sheets per side, sandwiched together, with staggered edges so I would have more surface area to make sturdier lap joints at the corners.
My plan to build a box around the controller was going well. But then my dad had a great suggestion. He noticed that the heat sink is a bit larger with the edges sticking out beyond the edges of the circuit board, so he suggested making that one side of the box and simply enclose the circuit board. Brilliant! I was able to do just that and build a secure mounting system and put it exactly where I had hoped I would be able to. This had the added benefit of leaving the heat sink open to the outside air for cooling
Notice the fins of the heat sink facing the front of the car between the two battery packs. Right next to that, to the left, is a little project box that holds a large diode and two relays. The diode is to prevent current from the capacitors on the controller board from flowing back into the car's traction system should the voltage in traction system drop below the voltage stored in those capacitors. Apparently this was a common problem with the MasterFlux units that they've decided to overcome by recommending you buy an extra $25 part. The relays work like this: the on/off switch on the car's dashboard for the A/C system triggers one relay, which provides power to the fan mounted on the condenser at the front of the car, and to the second relay. That second relay simply makes a contact that will allow the 5V signal back to the controller turning it on.
(By the way, notice the nice new braided connectors between the batteries. Nice huh? )
All of this should work flawlessly. In theory. You see, I tested what I could before hooking everything up, but there was no way to test all of it as one system after it was hooked up, until all the batteries were in. Plus, I have no idea if it's even safe to run the compressor before the system has been evacuated of air and charged. In fact, I've been trying to reach Revolt Electric (the resellers of MasterFlux products) to ask them about this and a few other things but they have been, how shall I say, less than diligent about returning emails or phone calls. Part of being a reseller is living up to the responsibility of offering end user support, and they're falling short at the moment.
Tomorrow morning, I'm taking the car into a local BMW shop to have them evacuate the system and charge it. First, they'll put a vacuum on the hoses and pump all the air out. They'll leave it like that for a couple hours to be sure it holds the vacuum. If it does it's good to charge. At this point I have no idea if it will. I can't express how much I hope it does, but there's no telling. Since one of the new joints in the system had a brazed fitting, I think that one will be fine. The other one was still an accursed compression fitting. I give it a 50% chance of holding a vacuum.
If it holds up they'll charge it and I get to turn it on for the first time. I'm not worried about incorrect wiring and/or damage to the system, but there is the distinct possibility that it simply won't work for some reason which I can't conceive of at the moment. I'm about 90% sure that will go well. Whether I drive out of the shop with A/C tomorrow, only time will tell.
They are also going to align the front end to take out all the toe-in. I never had it re-aligned, so it will be interesting to see how much of an impact this has on energy consumption. Sadly I won't know right away because the new meter I put in isn't working.
Actually, the meter is not the problem, it's the original pre-scalar I was using with the Link-10 meter. When I put power to the system yesterday, I turned on the meter and started running through the various menu setting to set it up for the car. When it was done, it read that the system voltage was 68.8V. Wha... I double checked that I'd selected the 1/10 pre-scalar knowing full well that I'd never seen a 1/4.3 setting that would be necessary to see 68.8 Volts. Eventually I pulled the meter out of the console and actually measured the voltage on the wires coming from the pre-scalar. I found that it read 6.88 volts. Well how about that. Apparently while the car sat doing nothing over the past 4 months, the pre-scalar developed some sort of problem that renders it useless. I have no idea how, or why, but a replacement unit is $54. *Sigh* A new one is on the way.
Astute readers will have noticed in the picture of the motor bay that the big red slap switch I had in the prior builds is gone. "Where did it go" you ask? Well after I pulled it out to start the work in the area, I noticed something peculiar about one of the contacts on the positive terminal side. Take a look:
You can see in the top right side what the contact pads should look like. They are little silver pads soldered on the copper bar. However in the bottom frames, you can see that one of them has completely melted away. The bottom left picture is the bottom bar in the contact, and the bottom right picture is it's mate above. At some point, there was some serious arcing in there that, for all intents and purposes, destroyed this switch. Well there was no way I was going to put it back like that, and I see no reason in replacing it with a like one as there will now be the possibility of sending even more current through it. Nope, I need to find some other safety disconnect. But, that will have to wait for later.
I finally added an expansion tank for the coolant used to keep the Zilla cool. Finding a location for it was a challenge. The fact is, it's on the opposite side of the car from where the pump is. As a result, there are coolant hoses running all over the place. The underside of the car is, quite frankly, a bit embarrassing now. It's just too crowded with stuff and it all looks a bit thrown together. Such is life. The cooling system does seem to work great though.
Yesterday after putting everything back in and together, I was working near one of the batteries while touching the chassis of the car, and I grazed a battery and felt an unmistakable shock. What the! My mind raced. I got out my meter to check and sure enough, there was continuity between the chassis and the battery pack. I stood there cursing, wondering how the hell that had happened. I disconnected the positive most terminal and started looking to see what had happened. Eventually I isolated the problem to the motor. My first though was that as I'd lowered the battery pack on top of the motor, I must have crushed one of the lugs and it shorted out to the motor's housing.
There was no way around it, that pack was going to have to come out. Mind you, this is coming less than an hour after I'd put the final bolt in holding everything together. What a bitter pill that was. Rather than take the pack out as a whole, I decided the best thing would be to dis-assemble the first row of batteries and remove them so that I could see the terminals which are under them and if I'd crushed a lug.
What I found was no crushed lugs, but one was clearly wedged in there and under pressure. I as able to get to it and get it out. I found that the plastic boot on the terminal had what amounts to a pressure wound on top of it and was actually pierced, ever so slightly. The heat shrink tube underneath it looked intact, but I cut if off and could clearly see a hole you could fit a pencil lead through when I held it up to the light. There it was, that was what had been touching the chassis. I found a less risky path for that wire and bolted all the wires back in place. I checked and there was no continuity. Problem fixed. Whew!
This morning, I re-assembled the rest of the system, put power to the system, dropped the car to the ground and carefully drove out of the garage. I took off down the road cautiously and found that the car was driving perfectly. Furthermore, the wobble that was in the drive line before it went up on blocks was now completely gone. The Warp 11 motor was perfect again. Finally, on the road again.
Tomorrow is my appointment with the shop, which I'll report on. The rest of the week will be spent replacing that pre-scalar, and getting ready to trailer the car and tow it to Missouri for EVCCON. I am genuinely looking forward to that.

You know...going through Denver only adds 200 miles to your drive and provide you with a convenient and free place to stay the night.
It's amazing the amount of work you put into that car and all the excellent maker-style work your figuring out how to do.

Hi Tim.
Great to hear the Z3 is rolling again. You picked the same spot for the coolant reservoir as I did !
For the safety switch, why not look into relays? I am using two/three EV200's to disconnect the battery packs from eachother. The emer-switch cuts the 12V going into the aux & contactor box.

200 miles for a night's lodging isn't a bad deal, but having to pull the car through the Rockies in order to head East out of Denver is a bit more than I'm willing to do I'm afraid.
The car has definitely been a labor of love. But I think it's been worth it.
I hadn't considered using contactors to disconnect the pack but I'm going to think on that idea. What I had in mind was more of a physical switch, actuated by hand, rather than a separate system relaying on electricity.
Jack Rickard has been using a large switch that has two copper plates that slide next to each other to produce a connection. On video it looks bigger than I might like, but it has plenty of surface area on the connecting plates to prevent arcing or heat build up. I'll keep everyone posted.

Text Marketing Growth Expands in UK
More people access the web with their smartphone than they do with laptops. They have their phone in their hands what seems like all day long, and it is used to make calls and text friends/family, but that is only the start of the many ways that text marketing is used. People use it to shop online, find information, access social media stores and more. The text marketing frequency is much larger in the US, however recent findings indicate that the UK is following in suit of the US and their text marking results.
O2 Media, a popular marketing company, conducted a survey in 2012 that showed that 14% of the 252 surveyed marketers set aside additional money to be used in a SMS campaign, and 7% used money from other marketing sources on text messaging rather than other options. By 2013 only an increase to10% for money being spent on such a campaign.
Things are starting to turnaround, however, and nowadays UK marketers are looking more toward text marketing. It is expected that mobile advertising will soon become bigger than print advertisement methods. While the UK market is lagging behind in text marketing efforts, things are looking up. How fast can they keep up with the US?

When we take The Boy to school, we park and walk him right up to the classroom door, where the kids are waiting. We are not in the majority; many kids ride the bus or get dropped off on the sidewalk, so they walk in themselves. My opinion is that kindergarten is too young for this--their school is the "doors open right to the outside" kind with breezeways, not one building with classrooms inside. There's a lot that could happen between the car and the classroom door, and we often see that on our walks in.
Anyway, he has casually mentioned that some kids walk in by themselves, but hasn't expressed a desire to do it himself. He actually still holds my hand most of the time, which I keep waiting for him to give up. But I have to admit I secretly love it, knowing that it won't last.
So as we're driving in this morning, he says that one of his friends comes for school breakfast and walks in by himself. I ask if he wants me to drop him off, because I can. (As my heart breaks a little, silently)
He says yes, and then asks if I can park and just walk him up to the sidewalk.
I agree.
We park and walk up to the sidewalk, where I kiss him goodbye and he starts to walk down the breezeway.
I resist the temptation to pull out my phone and take a picture of my little boy growing up.
I also resist the temptation to cry.
About 15 feet away, he turns around, crying.
Evidently he's not quite ready to walk in by himself either. Whew.
We dried tears and walked in together. He recovered just fine, and once again, I managed not to cry.
Sometimes you're ready to walk right up to that milestone, look it in the eye, and say, "Maybe next time."

Redcrosse Knight and the Dragon: Part1
The Redcrosse Knight and the Dragon: Part1
Few stories are more captivating than that of the Redcrosse Knight and the Dragon. The epic verse of a brave young knight who battles a titanic fire-breathing dragon for three days is one of the most dramatic conflicts in English literature. To read the text click here: (Faerie Queene. Book1, Canto 11)
I have always wanted to illustrate the scene for some years but have never found the opportunity. A recent private commisssion has allowed me to explore this story again and I am using the chance to post its evolution on this blog.
This first part shows the sketching stage of the project as I explore different possible compositions and angles. This is by no means finished, and as a work in progress I hope to show all the false starts and corrections that an artist makes as a project develops.
Keep checking back for updates and evolutions....
2 comments:
It is very neat to see your sketching process, especially because we are able to see the 'false starts' as you said and how the composition evolves. For this commission did you forgo the thumbnails stage and jump right into the sketch or was there the thumb step before this?ReplyDelete
I jumped right into this painting with no pre-conceived design. THe thumbnail stage was done in the painting....Its not a process I recommend if you're working on a schedule, but when working for myself, its fun to thumbnail right into the painting.ReplyDelete

So what's the fuss about eliminating redevelopment agencies? That money just goes to big developers, generally provides housing units or more stores.
Glendale Chamber of Commerce President Jeanne Brewer listed many things redevelopment has funded. But there are a few that are critical to me as a Glendale senior citizen.
I enjoy the concerts at the Alex Theatre. I don't want to lose that as a venue, which also draws folks from all over to spend their dollars right here. And if we don't have stores for people like me to shop, right here, I'll have to get in my car and drive to Pasadena or Burbank.

The Truebelles are ready to shake up the pop scene with plenty of soulful energy while aspiring to remodel the traditional image of femininity in today's world of media and music.
After having been able to gain experience singing with Stevie Wonder's musical director and bass player, Nate Watts, and doing backing vocals for Coree Richards of Damage, lead singer Grace has now started her own musical project with friends Talullah and Lorena. With the help of producers Steve Snead and Mat Condon, who has previously played keyboard in Katie Melua's band, the newcomers comprise remarkable vocal skills with the spirit of rebellious girl power. Their funky debut single 'If Your Heart Is There' is a melodic bubble gum explosion that creates the kind of buzz that makes you get out of bed in the morning. The track features rapper XYM who is known for having played alongside Colin Farrell in the film London Boulevard.
Difficulties of communication between the two sexes has been part of the story of how 'If Your Heart Is There' and the entire project, in fact, has come to life. The narrative of their song writing is specifically pro-female and committed to the idea of presenting women as fun and exciting. When Grace first moved to London and met producer Steve she initially refused to work with him because she "thought he was a weirdo". It took another two years to get her in the studio to record the track.
Having been able to overcome their very own communication problems, The Truebelles are now ready to revive modern feminist pop with their debut single taken from the upcoming album 'Truebelles Coming'.
The single 'If Your Heart Is There' is out on 13th February 2016.

Too many Empaths go through life feeling like they don't belong. It's as though they have been dumped in a reality that is not a fit for them… So why is that?
Even before we discover who we are, as Empaths, we can feel like a giant square peg trying to squeeze into a tiny hole.
We look around at those who glide through life, following the rules laid down by society, who appear contented with the way the system operates and who slot in with others effortlessly. Even if they are unhappy, they never seem to question anything, nor find fault with 'the way things work'. We may wonder why is it so easy for them to 'fit in' but not for us?
There are several reasons for this 'sense of not belonging' the Empath has; one of which being the way we 'feel'. Continue reading

AP IMPACT: FEMA asks for return of disaster aid
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – After the raging Cedar River filled his home with 13 feet of water and ruined most of his possessions, Justin Van Fleet pleaded for help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to get back on his feet.
Dead broke and living in a FEMA trailer following the 2008 flood, Van Fleet repeatedly submitted paperwork and made countless phone calls arguing his case. After seven months, the agency finally gave him more than $20,000, which he said gave him his life back and allowed him to move into a house.
Then in March, a letter arrived from the government with a shocking message: He should never have gotten the money. And he had just 30 days to pay it all back.
The agency is asking Van Fleet and thousands of other Americans who were victims of natural disasters to return more than $22 million in government aid, acknowledging it mistakenly made payments to many people who were ineligible.

Two weeks ago Steve Jackson was my guest and he gave us a presentation related to the wireless transmission of power using methods first described by Nikola Tesla.
Steve's presentation appears to have been very well received.
It generated more than the usual number of comments and emails.
Many were either confused or were unprepared to buy in to Steve's explanation of how the longitudinal waves propagate.
Tonight we revisit this technology from a slightly different angle.
More than 10 years ago, some well known names were experimenting with this technology from the perspective of amateur radio.
We will review related videos offered by Borderland Sciences Research Foundation.
Videos of presentations by Eric Dollard, Peter Lindemann, Tom Brown and Chris Carson will be featured.
ZeroFossilFuel has agreed to co-host this presentation as the topic is one he has researched and he has a much better understanding of the techniques demonstrated than I do.

Just as politicians have a habit of getting trapped in the so-called Westminster bubble, it can sometimes happen that editors like me get trapped in a beauty bubble.
The atmosphere is significantly more fragrant (altogether less halitosis), but it is nevertheless one removed from the experience of normal people.
For this reason, I make a point of paying for stuff as often as I can, just to make sure I don't become a complete cliche. Because the thing about the beauty industry is that a person in my privileged position could end up eating Crème de la Mer for breakfast and having free Botox twice a week. And then what would be the point?
Hunting out the best salons: It's a tough job but someone has to do it
Most well-known brands have their own PR departments, or hire outside agencies to promote their products and services. The beauty PR scene is not like the equivalent fashion one, with its bitchy cliques and sidelong glances; they're a much nicer lot, and for the most part trustworthy.
Still, good PR costs money. And for every top practitioner or potion in the pages of the magazines, there are plenty more who lack the cash or the contacts to showcase their talent. Yet the people behind these ventures are no less worthwhile than those who can afford to pay to push their products.
In fact, some are a good deal better at what they do than those with PR departments - mainly because they dedicate most of their time to making their clients look and feel good, rather than worrying about themselves.
Take Lisa, for example, who does my nails at my local salon in London, Amira. I could get my nails done almost anywhere free, but I prefer to pay for Lisa. Not because I like to throw away my money, but because her manicures last longer than anyone else's - and because she's warm and funny and we have a laugh together, even though the tea is like mud and the place itself is not exactly five-star.
Then there's Reflexions at Whiteleys in Bayswater, which is forever being threatened with closure so that the owners of this wonderful old Art Deco shopping centre can turn it into luxury flats for Chinese millionaires.
- i-Candy Bristol, 45 High Street, Bristol, Avon BS1 2AZ, tel. 0117 929 7831: A pretty (in a very PINK way) salon spread across five floors, with a little in-house boutique selling vital treatments.
- Bloomin Beautiful in Swindon, 28 Victoria Road, SN1 3NW: Friendly, warm staff and a super-girly atmosphere.
- Vita Skin Spa in Salisbury, 26 St Ann Street, Salisbury SP1 2DP, tel. 01722 346324: Sleek and stylish, specialising in non-surgical treatments.
- Beautiful in Wilmslow: 55 Chapel Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire East SK9 5JH, tel. 01625 548569: The go-to place for top WAG style beauty.
- Metta, 74 Mortimer Street, London (Inside The Electric Beach): Superlative massage in the most unlikely of locations.
I've been going there so long that the fish in their so-called zen fish tank have almost trebled in size. But if you like reflexology (or 'having your feet squeezed', as my husband calls it), it's a fantastic, inexpensive place to relax and zone out (£40 for an hour).
They have special chairs which tilt right back, so all the blood goes to your head and you can drift off and nourish the synapses while a nice lady massages the week's woes away.
Such genuine, unbiased recommendations are hard to come by, which is why I have to recommend the website Wahanda.
It has been around for a while now, but in the past year or so has really got into its stride, having built up a massive database of members. Basically, it's a beauty bookings site which allows the consumer to find products, reviews and services in their area, often at a discounted price.
It has also recently launched a revolutionary App for your mobile phone that allows salons to upload their availability at any time of the day.
So if the boss decides to go home early and you fancy (I hesitate to use the word 'need' but that's what I really mean) a crafty manicure, you can find the cheapest, nearest or most readily available.
It's not only a great service, but because of their feedback and ratings systems, Wahanda is also able to identify hidden gems: places tried and tested by paying customers, where truly talented individuals do what they do with minimum fuss - and not a PR in sight.
Places like Ian John Holistics, located in the middle of nowhere in the West Midlands, where you can get an amazing massage; or Betty Lou's salon in Brighton, a Twenties-style salon specialising in vintage up-dos; or the unlikely named Zensational (geddit?) in Manchester, which is tucked away in an office block.
Gems, every last one of them - even if, sometimes, a little uncut.
Bargain: Essential Little Black Beauty Book, £5 for 48 colours
Have you ever gone into a fancy paint store, requested a colour swatch and then taken it to some cheap DIY joint to have the colour copied at a fraction of the price?
Of course you haven't. Neither have I. What sort of person would do such a terrible thing?
A feisty young entrepreneur named Grace Choi, that's who - only she plans to do it for make-up. She's just invented a 3D printer that will scan any shade of eyeshadow, blusher or foundation off the internet and, within seconds, transform it into actual make-up.
So, theoretically, you could take a screen shot of Rihanna's lipstick, click print, and have it in your hand without leaving the house or spending a single penny. It's an extraordinary thought. Choi's hope is that her invention will appeal to young make-up fanatics who like to experiment with different colours and who are addicted to emulating their fashion idols.
Perhaps. But at around £120 a pop, it's an expensive toy.
CRUSH... Want to look all sultry like Angelina Jolie? Well, with Mac's Disney Maleficent range you can: blacker than black lashes, blood red lips. Wicked.
FAIL... Having so much plastic surgery you need to produce your birth certificate to prove who you are. As has just happened in South Korea.
The other problem is that it just uses ordinary printer's ink - which might not necessarily be something you want to go around putting on your eyelids. Besides, colour is not the only thing that matters. Good make-up, like good paint, is as much about texture, smell and feel as it is colour. This stuff, I suspect, will be a fairly crude approximation of the real thing.
Besides, if it's a cheap and cheerful colour explosion you want, you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a printer. Elf's 100 piece marble Eyeshadow Palette is just £15 (at eyeslipsface.co.uk).
Or try their Essential Little Black Beauty Book, which is just £5 for 48 colours.

Microsoft wants you to stop using Internet Explorer 6…right now!
You have to love when a company has to tell its customers to stop using a product.
From USA Today, ((Microsoft is ready to move beyond Internet Explorer 6. The software giant has launched a new website, The Internet Explorer 6 Countdown, that bears the slogan: "Moving the world off Internet Explorer 6." ))
I personally think the 1% of users around the world deserve the rude awaking if they are still using IE6 or the fact they're even using IE to begin with.

Security beefed up for Ghasi
As there is always threat from the ultras when a top leader of them is arrested, security arrangements in the district have been tightened.
"There are always the chances of backlash when a top leader of the Maoists is arrested. So we have stepped up all kind of security measures to counter any kind of threats" said South-Western DIG of police Soumendra Priyadarshi.
Ghasi, who is currently under five-days police remand, is said to be the mastermind of the attacks on R. Udaygiri police station and Jail in 2006. The Maoists then had released 40 prisoners and looted weapons after tying the police officials. They too had abducted the police officer Ranjan Mallik.
On March 24, 2006, around 500 armed Maoists had entered the R. Udaygiri town of Gajapati district shouting slogans in favour of the CPI (Maoist). After attacking the police station and jail they had looted several weapons and killed three police officials during the attack which was planned and lead by Ghasi

Not for the first time, Blackpool have flipped from one extreme to another in the space of just a few days.
From an attack that was about as effective as sticking Steven Caulker up front, to an all out show of complete dominance that equaled Real Madrid's goal total for the weekend.
There's no denying that Scunthorpe are a poor side (no surprise to see Mark Robins sacked after the game) and they will join a very select few teams that the Seasiders have done the double over in recent years, but the Tangerines have lost against lesser opponents before.
The second goal at Bloomfield Road on Saturday was excellent and involved a great passing move with Jack Redshaw at the heart of it and Brad Potts finishing clinically. Potts has been one of Blackpool's stand out performers this season and has the sort of energy I could only have dreamed of in my playing days.
When he bursts from midfield there aren't many players in this division that can stay with him, so if he can start adding goals more regularly to his game then he has a very bright future.
While this result was much needed for Neil McDonald and his players, I don't think they will be getting carried away and will know that they face a massive game at Walsall on Saturday.
One thing Blackpool have done away from home against the better sides in this division is to completely stifle them and try to hit them on the counter attack, just like at Wigan and Coventry (where they should have won in the end).
A rather strange place that the supporters will be hoping to gain a victory for Blackpool FC is the Council Chamber. As a voice of Blackpool Supporters Trust, Andy Higgins voiced his and thousands of others concerns about the direction that a football club, that once brought so much happiness and joy to the town, is now headed.
The fact that the supporters have exhausted so many avenues for their appeals to be heard that they now have to go down this route speaks volumes.
The slightly worrying aspect is that Mr Higgins had only been given a five-minute slot to try and condense years of disappointment and failure into.
You'd imagine even a brief summary of everyone's concerns would last an hour!
The team I likened Blackpool to last weekend also had an upturn in fortunes with a less than well deserved victory over Liverpool.
Football is so fickle that a month ago Louis Van Gaal was as good as sacked and was storming out of press conferences. Wayne Rooney was finished and shouldn't even go to the European Championships with England!
Now, Rooney is 'back to his best' and the shy and retiring LVG predicts a tilt at the title. Although from seeing Phil Jones celebrating at Anfield you'd have thought they had just won the title!
As the transfer window edges ever closer to slamming shut, it's clear that Blackpool have missed out on a number of their top targets.
There have been good signings in Danny Philiskirk and Mark Yates but plenty more are needed.
I understand that McDonald and his scouts have been scouring the Premier U21 leagues looking to unearth a superstar.
This is obviously a cheaper alternative to signing an established player but with the correct scouting procedure there can be some real gems.
With the glut of foreign talent in the Premier League, youngsters need an avenue to prove their worth.
As a player coming towards the latter part of my career, I always enjoyed it when the club would sign an exciting youngster.
Joe Hart's arrival gave our season a major boost and gave us all an insight into just how brilliant you have to be to play at the top level.
The reverse of this is a player that isn't fully committed and runs off at the first chance like a certain West Ham loannee did recently.
