The Australian summer can be unforgiving, and for those of us without an air conditioner, a ceiling fan is probably the next best thing. While ceiling fans might not be as effective at cooling as an air conditioner, it does cost considerably less to use. So how cheap is it to use a ceiling fan? Canstar Blue has done some research and crunched the numbers to find the real cost of using a fan.
The average indoor ceiling fan costs around 0.13c to 1.29c per hour to run, or between $1.90 and $18.86 each year. This will depend on the fan’s speed settings, how frequently it’s used, and the rate you pay on electricity. Like most electrical appliances, a ceiling fan’s power is measured in watts. The larger the fan, or the faster it needs to spin, the more watts of electricity it consumes – adding to your energy bill.
The below table assumes a standard 52” blade, 5-speed fan with a maximum output of 45W. We also suppose an electricity usage rate of 28.7c/kwh.
*Assuming ceiling fan used 4 hours per day, 365 days a year.
As you can see from the table, a single fan is not particularly expensive – particularly when used in moderation and operated at low speeds. That said, the costs can quickly add up if you have multiple fans running, or if they are left on when no one is using them.
Take the extreme example of a high speed (5) fan left on for 24 hours. At a rate of 28.7c/kWh, that will cost you 31c/day or as much as $113/year per fan. Bear in mind that many homes will have several fans – usually one in each room – so you can see how costs might quickly stack.
What type of ceiling fan is the cheapest to run?
The maximum wattage of ceiling fan will vary anywhere from 10W to 100W. The average fan will consume around 30W to 50W. More powerful ‘high-speed’ fans will generally consume between 60W and 100W, costing as much as 2.87c per hour or $42 per year, again assuming it’s used every day for four hours.
Interestingly, the fan’s size has very little to do with its running cost. While larger fans might require more electricity to spin, smaller fans will need to work harder in order to create the same airflow output. This means that both small and large fans consume approximately the same amount of electricity.
While you’re reviewing energy costs, why not take the time to compare electricity plans in your area. Follow the links below to compare the cheapest deals on our database.
As we have shown, even the most power-guzzling ceiling fans out there will only cost a few cents per hour to run. As for air conditioners, Canstar Blue found that the average reverse cycle system costs between $0.33 and $0.40 per hour – many times more expensive than a ceiling fan.
An air conditioner is unquestionably more effective at cooling a room than a ceiling fan, but it’s also much more expensive. Aside from those occasional scorching days, try to use your ceiling fan instead of the air conditioner wherever possible. This could potentially shave hundreds of dollars off your annual electricity costs.

Federal prosecutors in Brazil asked a court on Wednesday to force Microsoft to change its default installation process for Windows 10, which they said violated several local laws by collecting user data without their "express consent."
Microsoft has faced criticism in the European Union and elsewhere about the installation settings of Windows 10 and users' apparent lack of control over the company's processing of their data.
Microsoft's press office in Brazil said in an emailed statement it was not officially notified about the prosecutors' lawsuit, so it could not comment on it. The company underscored that the protection of users' data was a top priority and said it was ready to clarify any questions prosecutors may have.

Yoga Records recently rediscovered and re-issued 15 songs called Selected Works from folk singer/songwriter Scott Seskind, who recorded music in 1985 and 1991. He was a staple of the Boulder, Colorado music scene back in the mid eighties and early nineties and put out a few great albums. Now he works as a social worker and still lives in Colorado. I recently got to talk with him about being back in the spotlight again, his music, other artistic endeavors, his influences, his thoughts on the current genres of folk, and more.
Yoga Records has just reissued 15 songs from your lo-fi albums back in 1985 and 1991 called Selected Works. How did that come about?
Douglas from Yoga Records is a record collector and i guess he came upon my music while traveling around the country looking for old records. He sent me a short movie he made which I liked and then he signed me up to his re-issue label. We also met in LA where I’m from and we walked past a driving range at night to this vegetarian place called Lucky where they sell this Asian fruit that has the consistency of meat. if it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be interviewing me.
The songs on your two albums were folk with a punk edge. When you originally recorded them, what was the state of mind you were in and how have you changed since then?
It’s hard to remember the state of mind I was in but I think I was more motivated than I am now. Something was coming out of me into notebooks then that I’d have to force out now. I think I was trying to do something pure that cut through something. I think I was more angry then. Now I see great things and don’t write them down. I realized that most people have great thoughts and great realizations and great feelings that they don’t write down; It doesn’t make them less great.
Two of the songs on the reissued album “I Wonder” and “Here I Am,” saw you collaborate with LA based singer/songwriter Chris Hickey. How did the two of you end up working together on those tracks?
Chris and I went to high school and college together and I know things about him that no one else knows. We recorded those two songs in his broom closet and I remember after we recorded “I Wonder” we hooked the recorder up to his stereo and I remember being surprised how good it sounded. I think Chris is one of the best song writers and my life has been better having had him as a friend all these years. He has a new impressive record out called azzmataz; I named it and took the album cover photo of roots.
How do you feel about the recent resurgence of the folk scene in music these days and all the many subgenres it has sprung up like freak folk?
I hadn’t heard there was a resurgence and haven’t heard of freak folk. I remember they were talking about a resurgence when I put these records out. There weren’t labels like emo or psych or acid folk when I made these.
It always amazes me when record companies find forgotten and unknown artists works (Example: Shuggie Otis and Rodriguez) years later, who put out astonishingly beautiful albums in their heyday, but got their due 20 to 30 years later. How do you feel about it?
I haven’t heard of Otis or Rodriguez; Do you think I’d like them? I’m glad that a small group of people kind of see things like I do; makes me feel less alone. I wonder after all this time how much I’m due.
Tell me about the film documentary you started Spiral Up. Why did you decide to focus on such a sensitive topic?
I’m a social worker at a nursing home for people who don’t have a lot of money. The movie I started but didn’t finish (let me know if you know a good editor) is about me and this young guy named Nathan who lived there (he recently passed away) who had Huntington’s disease. That’s the same terrible disease Woody Guthrie died from. Nathan was a very energetic and positive guy. He said, “I’m poor but pure.” You can see the trailer at seskind.com.
You’re also a photographer. Do you feel that photography influenced your music at the time you created it and does music influence your photography now?
I don’t remember one influencing the other but I tried to keep both simple, direct and straight forward. I used to project my photos behind me when I’d sing. My photos were influenced by Diane Arbus; too bad she killed herself. It’s been a challenge getting close to the line without crossing over it.
What was some of your favorite music growing up that influenced your sound and are there any musicians out now that you’re into?
Growing up I liked Cat Stevens and Jim Croce and Janis Ian’s song “At Seventeen.” I like Vic Chesnutt and Daniel Johnston. I listen to the college station here in Boulder and hear some songs I really like, but then the love drug electronic trance comes on and I can’t take it. I think young people are feeling the same things I was feeling when I wrote these songs. I feel good about young people.
Many musicians who look back on their early and past works talk about how they would have changed this or fixed that in their music. Listening to these songs again, is their anything about them you’d alter or do they stand the test of time?
I mostly feel ok about them. I’m glad I’m not embarrassed by them. But I was impatient then and I still am and it would have been better if I did a few more takes on some of those songs. Some are pretty pitchy and some sound unfinished.
What are you doing these days and has the resurrection of your work inspired you to keep recording and/or playing live?
I’m working thirty hours a week at the nursing home which is pretty good and I ride my bike up into the mountains almost every day and I have a canoe out on the reservoir which I like to paddle around and I like to watch news and sports on TV and I have a nice family and a few good friends. It’s fun getting some attention for these songs and I have been getting that feeling to write and record a song but I usually just go to the coffee shop and watch people. I would love to go somewhere and play these songs.

Softball pitcher Courtney Kessell, Kailua High School's freshman sensation a year ago, would have nothing of the sophomore jinx.
Kessell evoked high expectations after an impressive state tournament last season in which she nearly led the Surfriders to the championship. This year, Kessell not only met those expectations, she may have even surpassed them in helping Kailua (16-0) to its first state title since 1997.
Her strong finish in 2002 elevated her from honorable mention status in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association Eastern Division to a spot on the all-state first team, and her recently completed season lofted her into recognition as The Advertiser's State Player of the Year after a vote of coaches and media.
"She had the press, and she lived up to it," Kamehameha coach Ty Sing Chow said after Kessell pitched a four-hitter and struck out eight in the state championship victory over the Warriors.
Kessell is joined on the all-state first team by teammates Loke Lastimosa, Danielle Young and Kamaile Hughes. Lastimosa, a senior, was selected as a third baseman although she finished the season as a shortstop.
She hit and fielded both of her positions well.
Young, a senior, patrolled center field with similar range and a strong arm, and she provided solid hitting and good speed from her leadoff spot in the Surfriders' potent batting lineup.
Hughes, a sophomore, batted cleanup and was a threat to clear the fence any time she came to bat. She hit .435 during the OIA season.
Kamehameha and Mililani each placed three players on the first team. The Warriors were represented by sophomore second baseman Liane Horiuchi, junior catcher Kaulana Gould and junior utility player Brandi Peiler.
Horiuchi took over for 2002 All-State second baseman Samantha Sardinha and also replaced current University of Hawai'i infielder Ashley Ruff as the leadoff batter. She filled both roles admirably, hitting .395 during the Interscholastic League of Honolulu season with four home runs, 14 runs and 12 RBIs and stealing 13 bases as well as providing solid defense.
Gould batted .361 with eight RBIs and showed a strong arm in throwing out base stealers.
Peiler was a first-team all-state outfielder the previous two years but this season came through with several clutch pitching performances, including a shutout victory over Punahou in the ILH championship game. She was perhaps the state's most complete player, offering strong defensive play in left field and batting .462 during the regular season, and also going 3-0 as a pitcher with a perfect game and a no-hitter, plus a combined no-hitter. She also pitched a shutout of Mililani in the state semifinals.
Mililani's all-state trio consists of junior shortstop Charity Senas, senior center fielder B.J. Shimamoto and senior pitcher Miki Asamura. Senas showed great range and a strong arm in the field and offered power hitting and speed as a leadoff batter. She batted .565 during the OIA season with five home runs and 23 RBIs.
Shimamoto hit .300 with eight stolen bases and put pressure on pitchers and defenses with her speed. She is a three-time Advertiser All-State selection.
Asamura, another repeat selection, went 8-1 during the OIA season with a 0.42 ERA and 86 strikeouts. Shimamoto and Asamura will play for the University of Hawai'i-Hilo.
Kaimuki first baseman Tyleen Tausaga and Baldwin center fielder Zoie Sevilla, both repeat selections, round out the first team. Tausaga again was one of the OIA's most feared sluggers and has signed with UH. Sevilla, a speedy defensive player with a strong arm and quick bat, is headed for UH-Hilo.
Kailua's Bernard Victor was named Coach of the Year after guiding the Surfriders unscathed through a tough East schedule, the OIA playoffs and the state tournament.

Who says you can’t wear pastel for Christmas? I found an unusual, but lovely match when I paired Revlon Graffiti 678 with Avon Gel Finish Lavender Sky.
I’m all over this Graffiti top coat, but speaking of glitter, wearing glitter polishes on accent nails is a great way to avoid spending ages with acetone. We all know how difficult it is to remove glitter top coats!
As a base for this Holiday manicure, I’m wearing the CND stickey base coat. One of my favourite bloggers, Gh0stparties, said she found this base coat to be better than OPI Nail Envy. Since then, I’ve been on the hunt! I looked for it at trade secrets and salons with nail supplies, but never succeed. It is difficult to find offline in Canada, but I finally found it earlier this month at Winners for $6.99 CND. I can’t wait to report back about the results!
Back on track, I’m wearing Avon Gel Finish in Lavender Sky as a base color. The name fits the polish perfectly; it’s a pastel purple with a cream finish.
The Gel Finish range promise : shine, gel-like finish, vivid color, base coat, topcoat, protection and straightening qualities. The formula does not contain formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. For its price, the Avon Gel Finish line preforms well. They have a great applicator brush and require 2 coats for optimal opacity.
Revlon Graffiti top coat 678 screams Christmas. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more suited polish, to be honest. It has varying sizes and shapes of glitter; hexagonal, circle and long thin rectangular confetti particles in red and white. I’m wearing 2 generous coats of this top coat on my middle and ring fingers.
On a final note, I wish you all lovely holidays and Merry Christmas (if applicable to you, if not, thanks for reading any way).

Rec 2 is the sequel to the enjoyable Spanish zombie-outbreak thriller REC, which you may recall took place in a tenant building and involved a reporter (Manuela Velasco) embedded with firemen responding to an emergency at the scene. It ends with a zombie/viral outbreak and the entire building is quarantined. [Rec] 2 , again directed by the team of Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, begins where the first film left off, and again the directors use the found-footage/cam-shot method in the style of Cloverfield , the Paranormal Activity movies, Blair Witch , The Last Exorcism , etc. This time around, the action starts with a SWAT team ordered to go inside and find survivors, bringing along a specialist from the health department (Jonathan D. Mellor) who knows more than he lets on. Cleverly, the movie sets up each team member with a helmet-cam (like in Aliens) so everything they see can be recorded. The team finds out very quickly that they are in over their heads.
REC 2 introduces the interesting idea that the zombie virus is really demonic in origin. It suggests that the Vatican was experimenting with the blood of a possessed girl, hoping to find an “antidote” to possession (I thought an exorcism was the antidote, but never mind). The film doesn’t really do much with this particular plot development though, opting instead to spend most of its time on random shaky images of demons attacking and people running around panicking and shouting at one another. While I didn’t mind the shaky-cam elements making up the first film, here I found them to be an annoyance, made worse by the fact that there is absolutely no lighting in this film. Almost all of it takes place in darkness, occasionally lit by the muzzle flash of a gun or the green filter of a night vision camera. Occasionally, a possessed person will pop out of the darkness for a jump-scare, but instead of being frightened I just kept thinking about haunted houses from Halloween Horror Nights.
Please return that to the Evil Dead cabin when you’re done with it.
I wanted to like Rec 2 . I really did. But it does too many things wrong. The SWAT team members are hardly professional, losing their cool almost immediately (and they seem incapable of shooting monsters in the head). Attack scenes are too shaky and are delivered in the style of a (poorly lit) first person shooter. Then, at the midway point of the picture, things really fall apart. Rec 2 decides to switch cameras and follow the exploits of a trio of the dumbest kids I have ever seen in a movie. These troublemakers see a quarantined building wrapped in plastic and actually go in the building on purpose. One of them grabs a gun and accidentally fires it .. twice. Eventually, the action becomes repetitive and mundane. And nothing in it is very scary.
The film introduces a neat concept about secret places hidden in darkness (that can only be revealed through night vision). A nice idea, but a classic case of too little, too late. The final shot makes no sense at all and is taken straight from The Hidden . As I said, I was looking forward to Rec 2 but I just came away disappointed. There are good examples of found footage horror out there – the first [Rec] , for instance. The sequel, unfortunately, can not be included among them.

A hunter was rushed to hospital after being attacked by a bear in Jämtland in eastern Sweden on Saturday.
The hunter was attacked by the bear while out elk hunting with his dog in the vicinity of Hammerdal in eastern Jämtland.
The man was taken by ambulance to Östersund Hospital and the hospital later confirmed that his injuries were not life-threatening.
The man was born in 1993 and was part of a hunting party with a total of four hunters. According to Hans Ängquist, county spokesman at Östersund police, it was a female bear with two cubs who suddenly appeared and attacked the man after a dog started barking at an elk during the hunt.
Ängquist reported that shots were fired in the attack, which occurred near the village of Gåxsjö, almost 20 kilometres northwest of Hammerdal.
"The man is reported to have fired two shots," he said.
"It was one of the hunting party who called the emergency services. I know nothing about the injury situation but the man was alive when the ambulance arrived," Ängquist said.
A police patrol has inspected the site and the search for the bears has begun.

PezCycling News - What's Cool In Road Cycling : Peter Sagan Gets Pez’d!
In this PEZ-Clusive Peter Sagan interview, the reigning Paris-Rioubaix and World Champ talks about Sportful cycling kit, the Garda Bike Hotel, and more with the Pez at the Sagan Gravel Fondo.
My obligatory pose with the most popular rider in pro cycling right now... and Brad Gebhard of Sportful USA.
The May 3-5, 2018 weekend started with a VIP gala dinner that raised over $90,000 for Adventure Risk Challenge, the King Ridge Foundation and The Specialized Foundation, and another several thousand dollars from the ride itself for trail development in Tahoe National Forest.
Another sponsor was one of my favorite bike hotels - and it was great to see my friend Nicola Verdolin (aka: "Il Locomotivo") taking time away from guiding rides around Lake Garda to spread the word about he and brother Alberto's GardaBikeHotel here in the US. As the Bora-Hansgrohe team gathered for their pre-Tour of California training camp - I had the chance to say hello to Daniel Oss and remind him of that time he got Pez'd by our Ed Hood.
Up here at over 6000ft altitude, what it lacks in oxygen, it more than makes up for in views.
Friday morning started with a couple hours warm up ride with Peter, and Levi Leipheimer, out and around the town of Truckee - which is about a $50 Uber ride from Reno airport.
Sportful - who sponsors the Bora-Hansgrohe team, showed off their Giara kit - hi-tech gear made for gravel & adventure riding (it works just as well on the road too). If you haven't tried Sportful - I'll tell you it is nice stuff, made in Italy with top-shelf fabrics, and excellent tailoring and fit.
The ride itself was epic - I logged almost 6 hours to cover the 68 miles (110km) of gravel, rough dirt roads, technical single track, and an hour long rocky climb called the "Boneyard". You bet I was sore. But this one took me right back to my roots as an mtb'er in the early 80's - just me and my buds going where no man had gone before.

Landscape photography in winter has a few advantages. Sunrise is later, sunset is earlier, and it might just snow. (Oh please let it snow on Dartmoor this year, please, please, please!). However, while sunrise and sunset are at much more sociable hours the days are very short and so are my windows of opportunity for photography. During the summer months I can spend all day at work, casually jump into my car, drive to Lands' End and still be there in plenty of time for sunset. I can go out photographing virtually any day of the week.
With winter things are very different. I still have to work and I still have a family life, but now I can't just pop out in the evening to go out and take photographs. The shorter days that come with winter are no different from any other year but this year I'm feeling the restriction more than any other year. I think this is largely due to the level of commitment I have given my landscape photography this year. This year I have committed more time than any other year to improving my art. Now all of a sudden I can't get out as much and if the weather is very bad I sometimes don't get out all in a week. I'm starting to find it frustrating!
It's not all doom and gloom tough. It's not as if I can't get out with a camera, it’s just I can't get out as much. As with most working parents I have the school run to do. My responsibility is to get the kids to school every morning, except Friday. So if I'm organised and the weather is looking favourable I can just about get out for a dawn shoot on a Friday and still be back in time for work. This means that I have to go somewhere local and this is where my trusty old friend Dawlish Warren beach comes in.
Dawlish Warren is only about 25 minutes' drive from my house and as I said in my video My Top 5 Locations to Shoot in Devon, it's also one of my favourites. I've photographed the beach and the groynes many times but each visit offers something different. With variable weather conditions, changing direction of sunrise and tidal waters, each time I go I need to think how I'm going photograph it that morning.
When I visited Dawlish Warren last week it was probably at the lowest tide I had seen so I had access to shoot some of the groynes I've never been able to access before.
Given the proximity of Dawlish Warren and my desire to still practice my photography as much as possible during the winter, I expect to be visiting my old friend a lot this winter.
While visiting on old friend is all very good, particularly when I'm really short of time, I also need to stretch my photographic wings a little. Though time at the weekends is really family time there are windows of opportunity and they need to be put to good use. There is the temptation to visit locations I've been before but winter is also a good time to go out and do a bit of discovery.
Last weekend I got up early and went to North Tor and Bench Tor on Dartmoor. These two tors are very close together and offer all round views of Dartmoor. I actually discovered this location by accident. I was looking through some old issues of Outdoor Photography and came across Bench Tor in the Locations Guide section (which is a great source of inspiration and ideas). I knew roughly knew the area as it's very close to one of my other favourite Devon locations to photography, Venford Falls.
Arriving at the car park in the dark I put on my head torch and began the relatively short walk up to Bench Tor. As with most dawn shoots in the cold I questioned my sanity but a blast of hot black coffee soon put me in the correct frame of mind. As most landscape photographers know it actually starts to get light around an hour before official sunrise so as I wondered about Bench Tor and nearby North Tor I could start to see lots of possibilities for compositions.
Very much an exploratory shot but as this was a new location for me I wanted to try and get a few shots for reference.
With so many possibilities, including options for sunrise and sunset shoots I think I have found a new friend for winter. Though I expect the best photographs will be had during spring and autumn months I think I will spend a bit of time up there working out how to make the most of it when winter finishes. That is unless it snows in which case the big views up there will be amazing.
So do you struggle to find time during the winter to get out with the camera? Do you have a go-to location that is nearby? Do you use the winter months to get out and discover new locations? Let me know in the comments below.

MIAMI -- It was a rough year for Ponzi schemes. In 2009, the recession unraveled nearly four times as many of the investment scams as fell apart in 2008, with "Ponzi" becoming a buzzword again thanks to the collapse of Bernard Madoff's $50 billion plot.
Tens of thousands of investors, some of them losing their life savings, watched more than $16.5 billion disappear in 2009, according to an analysis of scams in all 50 states.
While the dollar figure was lower than in 2008, that's only because Madoff -- who pleaded guilty earlier this year and is serving a 150-year prison sentence -- was arrested in December 2008 and didn't count toward this year's total.
In all, more than 150 Ponzi schemes collapsed in 2009, compared with about 40 in 2008, according to the Associated Press examination of criminal cases at all U.S. attorneys' offices and the FBI, as well as criminal and civil actions taken by state prosecutors and regulators at both the federal and state levels.
The 2009 scams ranged in size from a few hundred thousand dollars to the $7 billion bogus international banking empire authorities say jailed financier Allen Stanford orchestrated, as well as the $1.2 billion scheme they say was operated by disbarred Florida lawyer Scott Rothstein. Both have pleaded not guilty.
While enforcement efforts have ramped up -- in large part because of the discovery of Madoff's fraud, estimated at $21 billion to $50 billion -- the main reason so many Ponzi schemes have come to light is clear.
"The financial meltdown has resulted in the exposure of numerous fraudulent schemes that otherwise might have gone undetected for a longer period of time," said Lanny Breuer, an assistant attorney general for the U.S. Justice Department.
A Ponzi scheme depends on a constant infusion of new investors to pay older ones and furnish the cash for the scammers' lavish lifestyles. This year, when the pool of people willing to become new investors shrank and existing investors clamored to withdraw money, scams collapsed across the country.

Eva Lee will be hoping to break the United States' barren Olympic run when she competes in three events at the Beijing Games in August.
Lee is part of a five-strong American badminton squad for the Olympics and will be taking part in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
The Americans have never won an Olympic medal since the sport was introduced to the Games in Barcelona in 1992. Although she knows she has a tough job making history, she is ready for the challenge.
One thing for sure, she will be physically fit for the tournament as she goes through a tough programme in the run-up to the Games.
"We do long-distance running, sprints, weight training - light weights and heavy weights," she told local media in Washington. "And then we also have to do agility, and then sometimes we do cross-training, like playing soccer with our teammates or basketball and all sorts of things."
Lee took up badminton when she was five years old because her parents wanted her to stay out of trouble. Well, the ploy worked because Lee became so good at the sport that she is now representing her country.
And the Olympics is one of the greatest stages on which to wear national colours. But the training and matches are hard on her, and she expects it to be even tougher when she competes in Beijing against the world's best players.
"There was once when I came off a mixed doubles match, and it lasted about an hour," she said. "And after I came off the match, both my legs just collapsed, I could not stand any more."
With three events, she will have to be at the top of her game in terms of endurance. Among the players she can expect to meet is world Xie Xingfang, of China, who defeated Lee at the recent Uber Cup in Indonesia as the Chinese swept the Americans 5-0.
The United States also lost to Hong Kong 3-0 but Lee is not letting those defeats get her down. She is hoping that playing at home will actually be a problem for the Chinese players rather than an advantage.
"Actually I do not think they will have any advantage," she said. "If anything, they will be at a disadvantage because the Chinese badminton fans have very high hopes for their players. And so I think there is a lot of pressure on their players."

Focus of this chapter is the chemistry of Strigolactones. The structural features that identify the canonical versus non canonical Strigolactones, as well as the stereochemistry of the Strigol type and Orobanchol type families will be described. A special emphasis will be devoted to the total synthesis of natural Strigolactones as the most reliable and recommended method for successful structure elucidation of these natural products. However, due the complexity of the target molecules and to the high stereochemical control required to retain bioactivity, the synthesis of natural Strigolactones is currently not feasible on a multigram scale for applications in agriculture. In order to study the effect of Strigolactones on various biological processes, model compounds were designed and prepared. Synthetic Strigolactones can be classified into two main categories: (a) analogues, whose structure is very similar to natural SLs; (b) mimics, whose structure is much simpler, but showing a bioactivity resembling that of SLs. A survey of the most promising structures for agricultural applications and the synthetic pathways to access them is herein provided.
A term applied to the selective synthesis of one diastereomeric form of a compound resulting from the influence of an existing chiral centre adjacent to the developing asymmetric carbon atom.
Is a stereogenic group or unit that is temporarily incorporated into an organic compound in order to control the stereochemical outcome of the synthesis. The chirality present in the auxiliary can bias the stereoselectivity of one or more subsequent reactions.
A term which may be applied to any asymmetric object or molecule. The property of nonidentity of an object with its mirror image.
A series of related techniques for the separation of a mixture of compounds by their distribution between two phases. In gas-liquid chromatography, the distribution is between a gaseous and a liquid phase. In column chromatography, the distribution is between a liquid and a solid phase.
The property (as of an optically active medium) of unequal absorption of right and left plane-polarized light so that the emergent light is elliptically polarized.
The order and relative spatial arrangement of the atoms in a molecule. Absolute configuration is when the relative three-dimensional arrangements in space of atoms in a chiral molecule have been correlated with an absolute standard.
A pair of isomers which are related as mirror images of one another.
A chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric (enantiomeric or diastereoisomeric) products in unequal amounts.
Stereoisomeric structures which are not enantiomers (mirror images) of one another. Often applied to systems which differ only in the configuration at one carbon atom, e.g. meso- and d- or l-tartaric acids are diastereoisomeric.
The phenomenon in which plane-polarized light is turned in a clockwise direction.
Compounds having the same atomic composition (constitution) but differing in their chemical structure. They include structural isomers (chain or positional), tautomeric isomers, and stereoisomers—including geometrical isomers, optical isomers, and conformational isomers.
A form of spectrometry in which, generally, high-energy electrons are bombarded onto a sample and this generates charged fragments of the parent substance; these ions are then focused by electrostatic and magnetic fields to give a spectrum of the charged fragments.
A form of spectroscopy which depends on the absorption and emission of energy arising from changes in the spin states of the nucleus of an atom. For aggregates of atoms, as in molecules, minor variations in these energy changes are caused by the local chemical environment. The energy changes used are in the radiofrequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum and depend upon the magnitude of an applied magnetic field.
An equimolar mixture of the two enantiomeric isomers of a compound. As a consequence of the equal numbers of levo- and dextrorotatory molecules present in a racemate, there is no net rotation of plane-polarized light.
The separation of a racemate into its two enantiomers by means of some chiral agency.
The representation of a compound by two or more canonical structures in which the valence electrons are rearranged to give structures of similar probability. The actual structure is considered to be a hybrid or the resonance forms.
A formal non-ambiguous, nomenclature system for the assignment of absolute configuration of structure to chiral atoms, using the Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog priority rules.
The study of the spatial arrangements of atoms in molecules and complexes.
Another name for configurational isomer.
Reactions in which the stereochemistry of reagents affects the stereochemistry of products. Different stereoisomers as reagents give different stereoisomer as products.

Things are never as black and white as they should be.
They say ‘black and white’ to show simplicity. Right and wrong. Good and bad. There is supposed to be no debate on something that is black and white. But, if I look at a black and white photo, all I see are millions of greys. To me, everything is situational. Something that is supposed to be wrong can be justified, or even right, in certain circumstances. And something that is right is not the best in every situation. Right and wrong is man-made… it is a matter of opinion, not a fact. But we cling to the idea of it. It is engrained into our minds from birth.
I believe, that there is an agreed upon right and wrong, to live in the society we have created. IF we want to live and coexist with the people around us, THEN this is right and that is wrong. But, if society said so, then that would be right, and this would be wrong.
So, the argument becomes, if something is right for me, but is deemed wrong by society, is it still wrong? Does my personal need for growth and experience outweigh the decided rules of the society I am a part of?
I did something that is considered wrong by societies standards. And, before I found myself in this situation, I believed it to be a black and white issue. Through my experience, and through talking to others that have gone through the same thing, I no longer see this as a simple ‘right and wrong’ situation.
This thing that is quickly deemed wrong, was an experience that helped me and the other involved grow. We learned so much about who we are, we matured, we developed into more positive and productive mentalities, we experienced things I could not put into words, we developed our crafts, and we ultimately ended the experience not only recognizing the development we each had, but recognizing others in our lives and how they fit, or didn’t fit, into who we had become through this.
This was almost an entirely positive time of development. But, it was wrong.

Notes: Thyra and her brother Tyr are twins born at the beginning of Silmä – Tyr became an officer under Pazuzu and Thyra was a seeress who soon after the First War of Gods became the head of the seer guild for her uncanny abilities to see the future more clearly than others. She married Stephanus the Older and had two children – Allegra and Stephanus the Younger.
She was held in high regards until she phrophesied the Gods a victory that did not came to pass. She was executed shortly thereafter and buried in the far out outback. Her husband was imprisoned (as he did not take kindly to his wife’s execution) and her son fostered off into an orphanage. Her daughter had by this time long left home and only learned of her mother’s death during a Council meeting.
It is the reborn Pazuzu that digs her carcass up again to give her a proper burial – only it turns out that enough of Thyra’s soul has clung to life to make her into a twisted version of her former self, a vengeful spirit. Spirits are driven by one thought that powers them which can be good or bad. Thyra is driven by the urge to protect her son, which, originally good, has turned bad over the years and her single minded focus on protection does not know friend from foe. With reburying her out of question, Pazuzu and Stephanus transfer her into a pendant that Stephanus wears around his neck on a chain, bending her will enough to control her.
Stephanus can call on Thyra in battle where she acts as a formidable shield.

Definitely not the fairy godmother ball version but more of the cooking, cleaning, scrubbing the floors Cinderella! If you follow me on twitter (if you're not following yet, it's about time you did! jk =), you would know that I was feeling especially sick earlier in the day. Stomach acid combined with PMS stomach cramps. Eck! Spent a great deal of the morning, and afternoon, lying on the couch, watching tv and popping antacids like crazy.
Still without a maid, nobody really felt like cooking so we decided to have dinner at the newly opened "Papa John's" pizza place nearby...I will dedicate an entire post for a review on Papa John's soon.
Thanks for the lovely comment! love your clogs!!
I like the colours... so simply but beautiful!
simple yet shieke love the detailing on the belt!
What a splendid colour palette!
Again, a splendid set of clogs! Wherever do you find them? And do you have a favorite label? For wooden shoes, my favorite label is Trippen, but they're hard to get in the States--the wood has "spring" to it.

text: For the first time in my life, I had decided I needed to do coaching and consult with an expert about the path my life had taken and how to make things work in a different way. After giving it a lot of thought I decided that Katharina would be the person to help me in this. I have known her for long time and this helped me to take the decision. Her approach, professionalism and attitude in life were things I took into account when choosing her for my coaching. She helped me in different ways, but most important was that she made me feel that I am the only one that can take control of my life. From that moment on, everything change. I started thinking in a more positive way and working hard to optimise my resorts to make my life better. Today after her coaching, I feel more confident, optimist and capable of my possibilities to find a better job, improve my relationship with others and making my dreams come true. Thanks Kat for all your help!!! I wish you all the best and please continue with your excellent job because it is worth it for a lot of people.

The BBC's new director general Tony Hall has complained that actors aren't speaking clearly enough in TV drama. Is it time to cut the mumble, asks Ben Milne.
"I don't want to sound like a grumpy old man," Lord Hall tells the Radio Times, "but I think muttering is something we could look at."
His comments are likely to strike a clear chord with viewers. Recent dramas like Birdsong and Parade's End apparently drew complaints because of indistinct dialogue. It's a perennial gripe that the senior generation has always had about young people - that they don't speak clearly enough.
Andrew Billen, TV critic for the Times, gets more mail about not being able to hear dialogue than on any other subject. "TV is made by young people, but it's watched by old people," he notes.
Billen says that as people get older they find it more difficult to distinguish dialogue from background noise. TV makers don't take this into consideration, he suggests. And production techniques have made things worse.
"It's quite fun to lay on a great piece of music behind a drama but on most people's tinny screens the sounds can become indistinct."
Trends in acting haven't necessarily helped. Method acting tries to capture the "truth" of a character - even if that character can't be heard properly - rather than bowing to stodgy old considerations about being audible from the cheap seats.
Its foremost proponent was Marlon Brando - a man given the nickname "Mumbles" by his Guys and Dolls co-star Frank Sinatra. This was an actor who put cotton wool in his mouth, while playing Don Corleone in The Godfather, to make himself less intelligible.
Other actors who have been accused of mumbling include Kristen Stewart in the Twilight films, not to mention Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain and Jeff Bridges in True Grit - both of whom perfect an indistinct cowboy diction known to anyone who's seen Blazing Saddles as Authentic Frontier Gibberish.
But is it fair to blame the actors? Actor Ian Kelly starred in Pitman Painters at the National Theatre, and has also appeared in TV dramas including Downton Abbey. He says that most performers are just doing what's been asked of them by the producers and directors.
"Everything that is going on is to do with the sound department of the production, and their choices in an edit suite."
But perhaps the last word should belong to Sheb Wooley, who worked with a young Clint Eastwood. "He didn't speak his words very loud. The sound man was always saying, 'Kid, speak up!' But he mumbled his way to a fortune."

Start with devstack configured for LDAP.
Try to create a user.
First problem is, can't get a token.
When work around can't get a token, can't create user.
The problem was that the user_enabled_default is a string (defined in keystone.common.config), but then the code was using it like an int (with a bitwise-and operator).
Also, the unit tests weren't actually testing the user_enabled_mask case; the didn't reload the backend so was running with the default config. In addition, the test for user_enabled_mask set user_enabled_default to an int and not a string as it would be if it was read from the config file.
the response from OpenLdap wouldn't include the enabled. I didn't really figure this out but it was easy to recreate. I couldn't figure out a way to test it cleanly because the test is loading the data twice with different configs.

BlueRidgeNow.com reports about goods no longer made in USA.
Published: Monday, January 12, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Perhaps the most important New Year' s resolution American consumers can make beginning today is to buy American.
Anyone who has shopped at Wal-Mart in the last few years or other chain stores — Bed, Bath & Beyond, Circuit City, Best Buy, Target, Foot Locker, the list goes on and on — knows that it' s becoming harder and harder to find a “Made in USA” label.
This is no accident. For well over a decade, we' ve been told that globalization is a good thing [it is a good thing… for China.]. It will create jobs, strengthen the economy, bolster our image overseas and form good trading relationships with nations around the globe [all those things were true… for China]. While some of that proved to be true, it turned out that far more of the jobs it created were overseas and the economies it strengthened were in other nations.
There' s a good reason for that. Nations that produce goods and sell them to their own citizens and the rest of the world create jobs in their own country and strengthen their own economy.
First from Mexico, then from Korea, India and China came the unending stream of beautiful goods, cheaper than we could produce them in America. Furniture, clothing, sneakers, house wares, the list of things we could buy from an overseas manufacturer grew almost daily.
I have never studied economics. There are only so many courses a person can take in one short lifetime. But it seems painfully obvious that if you export the jobs that are the bread and butter of your labor force, the manufacturing sector will crumble and eventually disappear.
Once manufacturing jobs are gone, those whose living depends on those jobs go from paying taxes to drawing unemployment, from eating out once in awhile and taking a vacation now and then to barely scraping by. If they stay unemployed long enough they may well lose their homes.
All of the small service businesses in a community suffer when a manufacturing plant closes. Eventually, if nothing else comes along to replace those jobs, whole towns become anemic shadows of the robust centers of activity they once were.
Of course, an unemployed worker can always retrain for a new job, maybe something like computers and information technology. But considering how many American companies now outsource computer related jobs, they might have to relocate overseas to get it. Even medical transcriptionists now work out of India instead of your neighboring town.
What about building? People always need somewhere to live and someone has to build those places. These days we all know what happened to that theory. The thundering crash of the housing sector was inevitable, not just from shady lending practices, but from the steady exodus of jobs from our country adding up year after year.
There is virtually no area of the job market that has not been affected by outsourcing [Incorrect. CEO, CFO, and other upper management positions were completely unaffected by outsourcing. In fact, they were given bonuses and raises for reducing costs by outsourcing other jobs overseas.]. Once we outsourced a main artery of our economy, the manufacturing sector, the corollary jobs that service those blue collar workers began a slow but steady bleed that drained much of the lifeblood out of our economy.
And so, as simplistic as it seems, one of the most patriotic acts any of us can do these days is to save up a little longer and ante up a little more for American made products. If enough of us make a commitment to buy American whenever we can, aiming to have at least half of our purchases American made products, we will see a slow, but steady turn around in our job market.
There is an old saying: Cheap is dear. We are paying a dear price for the cheap spending spree of the past 15 years. As we look around at the tanking economy, instead of castigating ourselves for allowing America to be sold a “bill of goods,” let us do the most positive thing we can do: Buy American.
Sounds like an easy solution right? Simply buy American goods. Unfortunately, The Daily Record reports that consumers are having a difficult time finding products labeled American-made.
For Lehman' s housewares product specialist Jean Geiser, focusing on locally made products often means she knows the personal stories behind the creators. Her product representatives keep an eye out for U.S.-made products because they know she' ll ask for them before she' ll ask for imports, and she feels a personal sadness when a manufacturer closes or sends production overseas.
WOOSTER -- A dilemma faces shoppers: Buy U.S.-made, or buy imports. Buy quality, or buy cheap. Help the communities in which they live, or help people they may never meet in places they may never visit.
Within that question are smaller questions, such as whether a product is entirely made, partly made, or just assembled in the U.S.
Many shoppers choose to look at the bottom line -- the price -- thanks to the big-box revolution, which made overseas goods cheaply available.
Some, such as Cheryl Fields of Wooster, go out of their way to try to find U.S.-made products, with mixed success.
"I feel that it's important. If I'm going to spend my money, I want to make sure it goes back to a person who's living in the United States. They're raising a family too. I want to support my fellow American," Fields said.
"Have you ever gone out and tried to look for a toaster made in the U.S.?" Fields said.
She remembers the day Levi Strauss & Co. announced it would move production overseas, saying U.S.-made products are more rare than even five years ago.
"I think that's one of the reasons our country's in such a fix now. We don't make anything anymore," Fields said.
For her, it's not necessarily a matter of buying cheap -- she's found U.S.-made shirts that cost roughly the same as imported shirts [If you can find the US company that manages this unbelievable feat, invest in it. This company will do amazingly well as the dollar crashes], she said.
But for retailers such as Sam & Stan's Army-Navy Store and Lehman's, it often does come down to price.
Many U.S. products cost more than imported products -- as much as three times more -- because of the benefits structure for U.S. employees [and the overvalued US dollar], said Glenda Lehman Ervin, vice president of marketing for Lehman's. The store places a priority on selling locally made products first, then U.S. second and European products a close third.
"We do not replace a U.S.A. vendor with an imported vendor," although sometimes manufacturing is moved overseas without retailers being notified, Ervin said.
"If I had access to or could get more American-made items, I would sell them. The catch is, for the type of market we are after, many if not most of our customers want American-made but they want it at the Chinese price, and those don't go together," said Larry Wentz, who owns Sam & Stan's. "... Then mix in the economic conditions, people are only going to be able to spend the money they have [in other words, as long as the US dollar is overvalued, foreign goods will make up a disproportional share of US purchases]."
The problem with competing solely on price, Ervin said, is "somebody already won that war." [No they didn' t. Once the dollar crashes, the US will once again be able to compete on price (in fact, they will probably outcompete anyone on price)] Comparing a mass-produced, imported product to handcrafted goods is like comparing a fast-food hamburger to a meal at The Olde Jaol; price isn't the only difference, she said.
Big-box stores changed the way people shop and are one piece of a bigger puzzle of shopping trends, Ervin said.
Suddenly, shoppers were looking for family-oriented products and products that were made within their own country. Recent safety fears, such as those surrounding the lead scare and food safety scares, increased that emphasis on comparatively dependable U.S. products, she said.
The trend also seems to be related to increased interest in "green" or "eco-friendly," people-powered, organic, locally made or locally grown, "authentic" and durable practical items, Ervin said, suggesting a variety of trends are converging into a greater interest in one's own community.
She's capitalizing on that trend by flagging U.S. products in the catalogues and in the store because customers often ask about a product's country of origin.
There are some products that are just plain impossible to find, she noted; for example, the hurricane lamp is one of Lehman's staple products, but one component of the lamp is only available overseas.
Manufacturers such as Wooster Brush Co. know how convoluted the process is.
Laws regarding "country of origin" labels are very specific and state all or substantially all of the product must be made in this country before it can bear the "made in U.S.A." label; sometimes, labels state a product was assembled, not manufactured, in the U.S.
"It doesn't give the Wooster Brush Co. credit for having a number of good engineers," President Al Rodd said.
The company handles product development and creation in house to the greatest extent possible, although raw materials are in short supply, said Scott Rutledge, vice president of sales and marketing.
Wooster Brush customers prefer U.S.-made products, Rodd said.
"We are getting more and more (requests) from our customers ... it's a direct reflection on the economy. They want to support any American-based company they can," Rutledge said.
1) Globalization destroyed America by outsourcing its manufacturing sector. The economies globalization strengthened were in other nations.
2) Despite rising trade in services, most world trade is still in manufactured goods, which means that manufacturing is still the foundation of a healthy economy.
3) The only jobs completely unaffected by outsourcing were those of CEO, CFO, and other upper management positions, which profited from outsourcing other jobs.
4) It's getting difficult to find a "Made in USA" label here in America.
5) American manufacturing sectors has been reduced to making “cutesy craft stuff”. Pitiful.
6) As long as the US dollar is overvalued, foreign goods will make up a disproportional share of US purchases. Only after the dollar crashes will the US be able to compete on price once again.
7) The degree of weakness in America' s manufacturing sectors can be seen by the offshoring of its raw materials providers.
Conclusion: America's manufacturing (what is left of it) is in a sad shape.

Maybe Geithner's anti manipulation talks will eventually turn into deeds, and the Yuan will rise to a more normal value - making cheap Chinese imports not so cheap, and returning America to manufacturing.
The stuff Geithner said confused me. Was that reverse psychology? In order for the Yuan to strengthen while China boosts domestic consumption, China would have to depeg from the US dollar. And how can you call for a strengthening of the Yuan while at the same time expect to sell trillions more US Treasuries? Who does Geithner expect/want to buy the US Treasuries? I think it's reverse psychology. And it will fail as Geithner gets his wish and China depegs from the US dollar to stop the Yuan from depreciating while stimulating domestic consumption.
Here's a telling anecdote. Yesterday I felt like making some cookies. I haven't made them in a long time and it was so cold that I wanted to use the oven to help warm the house - but I digress.
When I took my heavy aluminum baking sheets out and chanced to look at the underside, I was surprised to see the words "Made in USA." Of course, I bought them about 15 years ago. Today such things are probably made in China.
Anyway, what's noteworthy about my little anecdote is that I was surprised to find something that was actually made here.
should I spend 25,000 for a 2009 Chevy Malibu that gets 33 mpg on the highway, or spend 25,000 for a 2009 Toyota Prius that gets 47 mpg on the highway and 48 in town? I would love to buy American if we made world class products.
It's true, it is difficult to find the Made in USA label. It's a shame because the US still makes a lot of consumer products. As noted, the consumer can't find the domestic product at the big box stores.

Before ‘N Sync even took the stage last night, there were a number of questions swirling focusing on whether or not the much-hyped reunion would be a special, one-off performance or a brilliant teaser for a future world tour. If crowd reaction was any indication of how the boys might do on the road, there is definitely more than enough interest , but even so, it looks like we’ll all have to be content with the two minute snippet we got last night.
Speaking during a radio interview with Johnny’s House XL on 106.7 FM, ‘N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick raved about how much fun he had during last night’s performance, but he was also clear to point out he and the other guys were simply there to support Justin, not to lay the groundwork for actually getting back together.
There has been much debate as to whether an actual ‘N Sync reunion would be a good idea, but the one thing everyone seems to agree on is last night’s performance was a lot of fun. It was fascinating to see the whole crew together, and it was strangely endearing to see all of them do the “Bye Bye Bye” dance one more time.
You know what’s wonderful about this whole thing too? It’s nice to see how genuinely happy all of the other guys seem to be for Justin. In their position, it would be easy to be a little bitter about how popular he wound up getting and all the money they could potentially make if they were still together, but instead, all involved seem to feel like they had a good run and just want each other to succeed.
Given everyone involved denied the reunion would even happen, it’s, of course, possible Kirkpatrick is simply blowing smoke here, but I really don’t think so. Timberlake has a ton of different projects going on, and all involved seemed to be relishing last night’s performance like it might be the last they do together. If so, job well done.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva reportedly approved a $48,000 settlement to a woman who accused him of being frequently drunk and creating a hostile environment.
Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva reportedly approved a $48,000 settlement to a woman who accused him of being frequently drunk and creating a hostile work environment during the few months she worked with him.
According to the Washington Times, the 2015 deal was structured as five months of extra pay as part of a severance package for the woman, who worked with Grijalva for three months as part of the House Natural Resources Committee.
Grijalva, who is the highest-ranking Democrat on the committee, said in a statement Tuesday that he could not elaborate publicly on the settlement under the terms of the deal. He maintained the matter did not involve sexual harassment.
“I do not attend work-related events drunk, and I have never created a hostile work environment in my offices — all of which is verifiable by those who work with me,” he said.
Other information, including the unidentified woman's specific allegations, were also not available, though the matter was settled using taxpayer funds.
“The fact is that an employee and I, working with the House Employment Counsel, mutually agreed on terms for a severance package, including an agreement that neither of us would talk about it publicly," Grijalva said. "The terms were consistent with House Ethics Committee guidance. The severance funds came out of my committee operating budget. Every step of the process was handled ethically and appropriately."
The Washington Times reported that the woman received $48,395 and she did not pursue a formal complaint with the Office of Compliance, which adjudicates workplace complaints, ranging from unpaid overtime to harassment. She reportedly had hired a lawyer and threatened a lawsuit.
"The severance did not involve the Office of Compliance and at no time was any allegation of sexual harassment made, and no sexual harassment occurred," Grijalva said. "Under the terms of the agreement, had there been an allegation of sexual harassment, the employee would have been free to report it."
News of the severance payment comes as Washington and the media and entertainment industries are grappling with complaints from women over sexual harassment.
In a recent interview with C-SPAN, Grijalva said he supported making more information publicly known about matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct but was willing to keep other cases private.
"If a settlement payment was issued specifically on the issue of sexual harassment ... as a means to quiet that ... that kind of information needs to at some point be public and noted. Other claims that occur and other settlements that occur ... that might be a different matter."
The Office of Compliance has reported paying federal workers 264 settlements since 1997 totaling $17 million for various reasons. It did not provide information about those cases, but did indicate the reasons can include unpaid overtime and many do not involve members of the House or Senate.
Grijalva, who was first elected to Congress in 2002, acknowledged a problem with alcohol decades ago.
In 1985, Grijalva pleaded guilty in a drunken-driving case when he was a board member of the Tucson Unified School District. At the time, Grijalva noted his arrest had made him realize that his "drinking was going beyond social drinking."
He spent 12 days in an alcohol-abuse program in California.

JRL Coal, Inc. (JRL Coal), a subsidiary of JRL Energy, Inc., (collectively, JRL), has completed the shipment of over 1 million t of thermal coal and has employed over 200 employees since beginning operations in June 2017.
In February 2017, JRL acquired the mining rights of an idle mine and wash plant in Coalgood (Kentucky). The mine had been sitting idle since 2012. After the acquisition, entrepreneurs Jouko Rissanen, Timothy Lusby, and Roger Lusby immediately began preparing the mine to resume operations by acquiring capital equipment, engaging experienced mining and regulatory professionals, and securing long-term supply contracts with regional utility and industrial companies.
"After examining the industry, we determined that rising coal prices and a cease on unnecessary federal regulations since the November 2016 Presidential Election, made the opportunity attractive for our long-term investment goals," said Founder and CEO, Timothy Lusby.
JRL began mining and shipped its first two trains of coal totaling 25 000 t of clean coal from its Coalgood operations. As of September 2018, management scaled its mining operations and is currently mining and shipping over 120 000 tpm.
The company recently hired its 200th employee in Harlan County (Kentucky).
"Putting 200 people back to work in Harlan has been personally rewarding. You can sense the optimism that comes with adding jobs and improving the economy in a town that has suffered through the downturn in the coal industry driven by the overreaching federal regulations of the previous eight years," said President and Chief Legal Officer Michael Rozmajzl.

Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt has announced his retirement from international football.
The Belfast native, who is 33, won 65 caps in a 14-year spell at full international level, scoring three goals.
The West Brom star made his debut in a 0-0 friendly draw away to Switzerland in 2004 and ended his time in a green shirt against the same opposition, with the same scoreline, in the heartbreaking World Cup play-off second-leg game in Basel back in November.
Brunt was a key figure in Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with his delivery from set-pieces playing a crucial role. However, a knee injury meant he missed the chance to play in the finals in France.
“I am disappointed that Chris is retiring as I believe that he still has much to offer the team, however I completely understand his decision to spend a bit more time with his young family and to concentrate fully on his club career with West Brom," Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill told the Irish FA website.

In 2011 four young men sat together, reflected their previous work and agreed, that the next album should be something special. It shouldn’t only be the normal process of writing, playing and recording black metal songs – no, they wanted to exhibit a broad concept for the new album.
The advantage of the Black Forest in Germany is, that one can easily back out. PAINFUL did exactly that until they came back with an elaborated concept and precise songs in 2013. The band delved into the spread of “The Black Death” which happened in the time between 1347 and 1353.
The pandemic infested Europe and claimed around 25 million lives, which was around a third of the European population. On the basis of their background checks and self-made drawings, they created some kind of book. As a result of their intensive work around this topic, the combination of black metal and the lyrics became more than authentic. “Imagines Pestis” is translated with “portrayals of the plague”. Each song of the album represents another topic and captures a cruel and outrageous fate at this time. The album was recorded in 2013 at Mastersound Entertainment in Germany under the direction of Alexander Krull (Atrocity, Leave’s Eyes).

Of the Swedish wave of ambient acts from the 1990's, 'Desiderii Marginis' is one of the few still active and definitely one of the finest. Far from being a typical project in the vein of Brian Eno or Lustmord, Johan Levein, the mastermind behind Desiderii Marginis, has created and developed its own unique sonic palette merging digital and analogue; melancholic electronica with electro acoustic elements and intravenous rhythms. From the early days his music met with positive reactions resulting in albums on the renowned Cold Meat Industry label, and lately also on the Canadian Cyclic Law.
Over the course of 20 years, Levin released 7 full-length albums, a 3-way split and a collection of rare pre-debut demos plus numerous tracks on various compilations. His latest offering entitled "Thaw" compiles the latter and adds 3 tracks from the split "Lost Signals from Unknown Horizons". On the one hand, it is simply a collection of rare tracks, but, on the other, it may serve a purpose of a "best of" album. With the chronology unaltered, it gives you the full picture of the project and its progress. It is a history lesson of the last 20 years in sonic melancholia of Desiderii Marginis.

The back of the document reads in Russian and French: “Перевыборы в Петросовет на Путил. Заводе после доклада тов. Глебова. Путиловского. Июль 1920” – “Nouvelles élections au Petrosoviet à l’usine Poutilov” – [“New elections to the Petrosoviet at the Putilov plant”]. The banners read in Russian: “Да здравствуетъ праздникъ Всемiрной Армiи Труда”; “Починить один паровоз значит приблизить конец голода и нищеты, этим добить окончательно капитализьм” – [“Long live the holiday of the Global Army of Labor!”; “To repair one locomotive is to bring closer the end of hunger and poverty, and by this means finish off capitalism for good”]. Black and white photograph; 11 x 15 cm.
1This photo shows us some of the political and social dynamics of Petrograd itself around the time of the Second Comintern Congress in July 1920 or slightly earlier.
2Looking at us are the workers of the Putilov factory: mainly men with their worker caps, but also a number of women with their head scarves. They are conducting elections to the Petrograd Soviet, the local government body whose chairman was Grigorii Zinoviev. For the most part, elections in Soviet Russia were by this time single-party affairs, although the other socialist parties had not yet been definitively declared illegal. Nevertheless, the election process was still an important means of communication between the ruling party and its worker base. The annotation tells us that “Com. Glebov” has given a report; this may be the prominent Bolshevik Nikolai Glebov-Avilov who was a trade-union leader in Petrograd and who, until recently, had been People’s Commissar for Posts and Telegraphs. He is distinguished from the workers by his tie and suit jacket, but his suit is hardly elegant and he seems at ease in this environment.
3On the left, the poster reads “Long live the holiday of the Global Army of Labor!” A worker is shown ringing a holiday bell. This poster may have been put up during May Day celebrations or it may be referring to the Comintern Congress. On the right is a slogan which brings out the grim economic realities of 1920: “To repair one locomotive is to bring closer the end of hunger and poverty, and by this means finish off capitalism for good.” The immediate goal is to stave off complete economic collapse by alleviating the transport breakdown. Yet even this struggle with immediate “hunger and poverty” takes on meaning because of the long-term perspective of finishing off capitalism.
