text: “Giant” in the KJV of Genesis 6 and Numbers 13:33, two times, derives from the Hebrew “Nephiyl” (Strong’s Concordance h5303) meaning giant, Nephilim. The suffix,“im” is the male plural form many translations use.“…we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:33 KJV. Standard Christian dogma taught dismisses the existence of Nephilim in Genesis 6, and their connections to Rephaim after the flood and the Exodus. “Rephaim” were first recorded in Genesis 14’s war against giants. Rephaim is the male plural form of the Hebrew “Rapha” (Strong’s h7497) meaning giant, a tribe of giants. Giants illegally squatted in the Covenant Land previous to Abraham settling there, as witnessed by Genesis 14’s war against giants of the greater Covenant Land.

Proper care and maintenance of your stand up paddleboard can increase your board’s longevity and provide you with extra years of paddling. It doesn’t take much time or effort, but it’s certainly worth it. Building in a good maintenance routine as part of your setup and take down will help you avoid repairs and guarantee you more time on the water. We broke things down into a few key areas that coincide with the setup process. Focusing on these areas will help you keep your board in tip-top shape in a simple and easy way.
Pumping up the 2019 Expedition to head out for a paddle.
Thurso Surf’s built-in pressure gauge.
All boards are different so it’s best to check with your manufacturer to determine the exact PSI. Some pumps, like the dual-action Hand Pump (included in SUP packages), or our Electric Pump, come with a built-in pressure gauge allowing you to be sure of your board’s PSI. The Electric Pump even cuts off automatically when the selected pressure is reached.
It’s also crucial to remember that air expands in hot weather. Meaning if you inflate it somewhere cool and dark and then leave it out in the sun the air inside will expand. Therefore, be conscious of the temperature and your plan for the day. If you know it’s going to be a scorcher don’t fully inflate to your board’s maximum PSI level. Instead leave it slightly under and allow the air to expand when it’s in the warm sun. Remember you can always check throughout the day and inflate or deflate accordingly.
When rinsing off pay special attention to attachment points like d-rings.
Another area that’s easily overlooked, skipped or outrightly ignored is a simple rinse. Yes, saltwater is more corrosive than freshwater, but you should still rinse your board off after every use. It’s not just the salt that can degrade your board. Over its lifespan build-up from any number of culprits (dirt, grime, gunk, etc.) can also cause damage. Therefore when you are rinsing your board off, pay special attention to the fins, valves, attachments, handles and d-rings. Any crease, corner or seam is an opportune place for build-up. Take the time to find them on your board and give them a bit of extra attention when rinsing. This simple habit well help extend the longevity of your board and keep it looking great.
Once your board is rinsed, it’s time to dry it off. Grab a towel and start wiping it down. To make things easy on yourself and to make sure you don’t miss anything start from one end and work your way to the other. Make sure to get all the little drops before you pack it up for storage. By storing it completely dry you won’t be at risk from mildew buildup in your board bag.
Thurso Surf Quick-Lock fins are a breeze: slide in and clip, no tools needed.
Even thought this can be a pain with some boards, fins are the most fragile part of the board and it’s worth taking the time to remove them. While it’s possible to store a board with its fins installed, you risk damage. Luckily, we’ve designed our boards with Quick Lock Fins (no tools required) making it easy to install and remove the fin set in a snap. This means you can snap your fins on and off in seconds for safe storage.
Once your board’s dry it’s time to prep it for storage. When putting you board away for storage we find it’s best to use your pump’s special deflate feature to fully deflate the board, then start folding at the board’s tail. This way you protect the fin boxes and can use them as a guide for your folds. Do your best to keep the creases to a minimum. Fold the board loosely end over end, almost like you’re rolling instead of folding it. Now that it’s ready, to pack, carry and stow, it’s time to find a good place to store it long term.
Most importantly, you want to keep your board out of the sun. Store it in a dry, cool space, preferably in a board bag like the Inflatable SUP Roller Backpack that comes with your SUP package. Board bag’s like these will help protect the board from harmful UVs, dings, and scratches, while it’s in storage. On top of that, it provides you with easy, protected transport and the convenience of keeping everything from your paddle to your pump in one place.
While the best manufacturers make sure their paddle boards are extremely durable, ours are even backed by an industry leading 2-year warranty, it makes sense to spend a little extra time to take good care of your investment. Following these care and maintenance recommendations will extend your board’s lifespan and increase your time on the water.

Gina was forced into marriage with the Duke of Girton at an age when she’d have been better off in a schoolroom than a ballroom. Directly after the ceremony her handsome spouse promptly fled to the continent, leaving the marriage unconsummated and Gina quite indignant.
Now, she is one of the most well-known ladies in London … living on the edge of scandal—desired by many men, but resisting giving herself to any one.
Finally, Camden, the Duke of Girton, has returned home, to discover that his naïve bride has blossomed into the toast of the ton. Which leaves Cam in the most uncomfortable position of discovering that he has the bad manners to be falling in love—with his own wife!

People who work on climate change policy and action planning across sectors are terrified – and they should be. The election of a President and Congressional leadership that have announced their intent to turn the past 8 years of Federal agency and international climate action upside down should be scary. But it also should be a rallying call. The time is now – we simply cannot wait even a minute longer.
The world is moving forward on climate change with or without the United States. Global companies will have to deal with international and foreign policy efforts aimed at curbing emissions and preparing impacted and vulnerable communities. Local and provincial governments are acting already given the localized impacts and implications.
To be clear, giving up is NOT an option. So, let’s take a deep breath and reorganize our thoughts.
Let’s think of our democracy like a pendulum. We saw in 2008 and subsequently since 2010 what happens when we go too extreme in a political direction. Take comfort in expecting that what goes around comes around and that this is a significant opportunity for the greatest climate smart advocacy effort the country has seen to date.
Success on climate change does not need to be hinged to Congress or the White House. There are numerous paths forward.
Taking action is the most constructive solution to dealing with emotional duress. Whether your outlook is pessimistic, pragmatic or optimistic, the best way to ensure that you thrive is to identify tangible next steps and boldly take action.
Next week, we’ll share with you some prescriptive thoughts on clear, simple and tangible actions that employees and leaders of local and state government agencies, private sector entities, higher education institutions and the Federal government should be considering going forward.

Gentle Giant “3 Piece Suite” offers 5.1 Mixes of classic tracks.
In addition to his solo work and a number “side” projects, Steven Wilson has built quite a reputation in the audiophile and progressive rock fan communities for his 5.1 and stereo remixes of classic albums. His respect for, and love of the genre, has yielded what are currently recognized as definitive versions of career landmarks by Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Yes, and recently XTC.
While the aforementioned surround sound experiences are the main attraction for long time collectors (who may already own several versions of these classic recordings) there is usually a bevy of additional perks that, to my taste, often eclipse the multichannel mix. Packages have included just about every permutation of the source materials, including original masters, new mixes, alternative tracks and contemporaneous live versions. XTC’s Skylarking is a treasure trove.
Now, adding to this list, we have the announcement of a September 29, 2017 release date for Wilson’s work with another iconic Progressive Rock band, Gentle Giant. The albums Gentle Giant, Acquiring the Taste and Three Friends will be the focus. Joyful cheers from GG acolytes will be tempered only by the fact that available multi-track master tapes were limited to just 9 tracks across the 3 albums. Therefore only “Giant,” “Nothing At All,” “Why Not,” “Pantagruel’s Nativity,” “The House, The Street, The Room,” “Schooldays,” “Peel the Paint,” “Mr. Class And Quality,” and “Three Friends” will see SW’s 5.1 and 2.0 mixes. That said, there is plenty else to make this an exciting offering. Along with the original mixes of the three entire albums and instrumental versions of the new mix, 3PS will see the commercial debut of the a previously unreleased track “Freedom’s Child,” which was produced by Tony Visconti during his first sessions with the band.
New interviews with Visconti (“…I thought music like theirs would save the world from mediocrity. I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth in it.”) and remix artist Wilson (“There was never a question of trying to outdo the original mixes, but offer different perspectives on them.”) were conducted by liner note author Anil Prasad and speak to the tenure of the original recording sessions and the techniques used to produce the newly mixed tracks, respectively.
Two-disc digipak containing 96/24 animated Blu-ray plus CD.
Two-disc gatefold LP in180g high-end vinyl.
Digital download of the two disc Blu-Ray plus CD version.
Just Hookah pipe dreaming’ on my part but for future multi-channel revamps I’d love to see Wilson let loose on the so-called “Canterbury Scene,” including Soft Machine, Caravan and the oeuvre of Egg.
In the meantime we’ll have new material to dig into from this busiest man in music very soon. To The Bone, SW’s fifth solo project, will be available on August 18, 2017. The four pre-released tracks and videos suggest a decidedly less progressive rock direction. Some kicks and complaints from Prog diehards are not surprising but appear to be mellowing after repeated listens.
Me? I’m still enjoying the newest Blackfield album and I’m happy to follow the winding yellow brick road paved by Mr. Wilson as I did that of his wizardly musical godfather, Todd Rundgren.
“To The Bone,” is Steven Wilson’s fifth solo album.

CHICAGO - Simultaneous PET/MRI can produce diagnostic-quality brain scans and interpretation results that compare favorably with PET/CT in patients with clinically suspected dementia, according to a study presented on Thursday at RSNA 2013.
Preliminary findings showed good concordance of diagnosis and severity of findings between PET/MRI and PET/CT when evaluated by two experienced nuclear medicine physicians, the researchers found.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the clinical interpretation of PET data derived from a simultaneous PET/MRI scanner compared to PET/CT," lead author Dr. Kent Friedman, of NYU Langone Medical Center, told AuntMinnie.com. "We believe that the high degree of intrareader agreement with respect to overall diagnosis and identification of regional abnormalities argues that simultaneous PET/MRI is now a viable clinical tool for the evaluation of patients with dementia."
In the study, 19 patients with clinically suspected dementia underwent a 15-minute PET/CT brain scan (Biograph mCT, Siemens Healthcare) 45 minutes after injection of 10 mCi of FDG. Simultaneous PET/MRI (Biograph mMR, Siemens) followed approximately 90 minutes after FDG injection.
The two experienced nuclear medicine physicians blindly interpreted the PET portion of all PET/CT scans and made a specific diagnosis for each case. The assessments included conclusions of no disease, Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body dementia, other dementia, mixed phenotype, or an unspecified disease. They also rated the severity of the affliction from mild to moderate or severely abnormal. The readers then blindly interpreted the PET data obtained from PET/MR.
PET/CT served as the reference standard in the study. One reader classified 12 PET/CT scans as Alzheimer's, five as unspecified dementia, one as Lewy body dementia, and one as normal. The reader's mean score for severity was 2.0.
The second reader classified 10 PET/CT scans as Alzheimer's, three as unspecified, one as Lewy body dementia, and five as normal, with a mean severity score of 2.1.
When compared with PET/CT, PET/MRI interpretations yielded 84% (16/19) intrareader agreement in diagnosis. Also, 95% (18/19) of severity scores varied by one point or less between the two readers.
The second reader achieved 84% intrareader concordance of dementia pattern diagnosis, with 89% (17/19) of severity scores varying by one point or less.
3D surface projections of FDG-PET data in a patient with Alzheimer's disease. PET/CT (top two rows) followed by PET/MRI (bottom two rows) using the same tracer injection showed similar diagnostic results. Image courtesy of Dr. Kent Friedman.
"The key point is that simultaneous PET/MRI can be used clinically right now for the evaluation of dementia, as an alternative to PET/CT," Friedman said. "The PET data is of sufficient quality to make accurate diagnoses."
The results validate the hybrid imaging technique with respect to PET image quality, and the benefits of PET/MRI can be realized, the researchers concluded.
"Firstly, those individuals who require both a PET and an MRI may undergo both tests simultaneously," Friedman said. "This is more comfortable for the patient and saves time. As an additional benefit, radiation exposure is reduced since CT is not required. Perhaps even more important, there is additional diagnostic information obtained by MRI that is not always apparent on CT."
He added that in the near future, real-time motion correction of PET data based on MR motion tracking should further increase PET quantitative accuracy.
"Refinements in bone attenuation correction are on the near horizon as well," he said.
The NYU Langone researchers are preparing several papers to offer a more detailed assessment of the quantitative accuracy of PET data derived from PET/CT and PET/MRI.
"The next steps are to validate the accuracy of PET/MRI for evaluation of smaller subcortical structures, to aid in making diagnoses of more rare neurological diseases, and to support the research community," Friedman said. "Integrating motion correction and improved bone attenuation correction into our routine practice is another major effort."

This is an incredable story about this young girl Shannon who meets this Italian boy. I just finished it and i loved it. It really inspiring me when i read it. So i recommend this story. It had a great ending. I was even crying because i loved it so much. Johnny was my favorite in the story. So enjoy the story and please pass it on. Its a great story for young adults.
I thoroughly enjoyed this look at a snippet of life after WWII and in immigrant from Scotland. The love story of Shannon and Johnny is delightful. Well written, clean and engaging. Highly recommend.
I receive complimentary books for review from publishers, publicist, and/or authors. I am not required to write positive reviews. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's16CFR, Part 255.
I didn't like it. :( This story was void of emotion for me, it ended abruptly, and the couple never really developed into something deep.
Follow the beauty around Crater Lake National Park as Shannon starts her summer job at the lodge.
as a seamstress. Then she meets Johnny. How do a Scottish Irish girl and a full blooded Italian get along?
Renee Riva blends a lovely story after WWII with talent and truths...what many went through during this era.
You'll enjoy this sweet romance, Always Kiss Me Good-bye, and picture the beauty in the national park.
Diane Dean White, author, This Side of Heaven, Lilacs in May and Journey of Redemption.
Fun and inspirational. I love how Renee uses family happenings on which to build her fictional stories. Renee's parents met and fell in love in 1948 while working at Crater Lake National Park, setting for this exciting new book. Appealing characters, believable plot, romance, all enhanced with bits and pieces of history and a 1948 flavor. Easy reading.
Way to go, Renee. Keep them coming. Your books have earned places on my "keeper" shelf. which means I intend to reread.
This story is set just after world war two and is about Shannon, a Scottish immigrant that takes a summer job waitressing in a holiday lodge in Oregon. USA. While there she meets Johnny, an Italian immigrant and romance ensues, which of course, has its ups and downs. The performance and story are both good and will keep you listening to find out whether the couple will go their separate ways at the end of the summer.
Cute and sweet short story! I enjoyed the audiobook version! This book takes place at the Crater Lake Park in Oregon, just after WWII. I’ve been to Crater Lake several times myself and the descriptions made me miss it!

Write-up and interview by Julien Breistroff.
Given Japan’s reputation for fostering niche cultures, and considering the nation’s decades-long relationship with reggae, it should come as little surprise that UK dance/bass music has found footing on the islands’ shores. Though Japan’s presence in dubstep may have come sooner – with Goth-Trad and his Back to Chill imprint and night – its grime scene has slowly grown to establish itself as the most cohesive representation of the genre in Asia. This status was recently cemented when Elijah & Skilliam tasked stalwart local MC Pakin with assembling an all star crew of Japanese grime MCs and DJs to record a showcase set for Butterz.
Among the artists featured on the resulting mix was Double Clapperz, a Production/DJ outfit consisting of Sinta and UKD. The duo have steadily made a name for themselves over the last few years, their tracks being played by a number of distinguished grime names. Spooky in particular has supported them since early, though Murlo, Boofy, and Impey have certainly helped to get Double Clapperz’ music played on radio and in mixtapes for Rinse, Radar, BBC Radio 1xtra, and Fabric. Coupling traditionally jagged grime drum patterns with a meticulously crafted low-end, their sound is as conscious a nod to grime as it is to soundsystem culture more broadly. The pair have worked extensively with local MCs and can count themselves among the most prominent contributors to Tokyo’s grime scene. With a white label dropping this June and the spotlight on Japanese grime growing ever brighter, Double Clapperz are poised to help bring their scene to the attention of grime fans globally.
Never straying far from the customary 140bpm, Double Clapperz’ Astral Plane mix progresses at a blistering pace, quickly and deftly blending their own brand of abrasive precision with hollow weightless cuts, dubstep, and hints of dancehall. Filled with unreleased beats, bootlegs, and exclusive vocal tracks, the mix is a thrilling glimpse into Japanese grime. Familiar ground is also provided as the duo pepper in released material from the likes of Commodo, Kahn & Neek, Ishan Sound, Murlo, Terror Danjah, and the Boxed crew – as well as an Astral Plane favourite, Last Japan’s forthcoming “Ascend” featuring AJ Tracey. We had the chance to ask the guys a few questions over the internet, and their responses (along with a tracklist) can be found after the jump/below the fold. In the meantime, turn your subs up and travel from Bow to Tokyo with this lesson in Far Eastern bass.
Hi guys, we’re excited to be featuring you as the first Japanese artists on the site. Let’s start with the basics – what are your names, where are you from, and where are you based now?
Thanks for the interview, we are really excited to be working with the Astral Plane. We are a production outfit made up of Sinta & UKD, and we have been collaborating under the name Double Clapperz since 2012. Sinta was born & raised in Tokyo, UKD moved from Fukushima to Tokyo 6 years ago. We are based in the suburbs in the Western part of Tokyo.
How did you guys get into grime music, or UK dance music in general?
We got really into UK dance music after going to Outlook Festival’s Japan Launch in 2012. We were really impressed with our first experiences of sound system culture and just how big the system sounded! You could feel your eyes trembling, and it was the first time we’d ever experienced bass like that. We saw Neo Tokyo Bass [music collective] there with Rumi [MC] and we were really impressed. After that, we organized a couple soundsystem-oriented nights featuring reggae as well as UK dance styles.
Can you tell us a bit about the nights you threw?
We threw the parties in Tachikawa, the suburbs in the West of Tokyo, and had to do them in a venue for rock music because there are no clubs out here! The parties were a lot of fun, and we managed to get people to make the 1hr train ride from the city to come dance. We didn’t have that many parties because renting the 3.5 meter speaker stacks is expensive but we would love to do more events.
How would you characterise the emergence and growth of Japan’s grime scene? What is its status today?
Japan’s grime scene is still very much underground. There are a few DJs who have been listening to UK music for a long time and who have amazing selection, from old school grime and dark garage to jungle, and they paved the way for Japanese producers and MCs to try their hand and push the local scene forwards. It’s still small but it’s growing, more teenagers are getting interested in grime what with artists like Skepta getting big in the UK and US. This phenomenon is also thanks to Twitter. Lots of people around us really like Twitter, and a lot of UK grime artists like twitter, so we haven’t had any problems linking with people internationally.
Grime is still a heavily UK-centric scene; have you felt it necessary to interface with grime’s traditional framework? Or do you think has grime moved past that and started to become a global genre?
That is a tough question. Grime has become global in the sense that people know it now, and there are people making it in Japan, Australia, China… all of it deliberately within the same genre. We definitely want to link with others and make waves from here in Asia. Still, given that most of the big producers are based in the UK, the UK definitely drives the scene for the most part. The UK is also the home of most of the radio stations important to grime music.
I see that you guys have played in London – are you over there frequently? Do you have any interest in moving there?
We’ve actually only played there once, Sinta studied in Madrid for a year and we happened to get booked in London. It was lots of fun but we don’t feel the need to move there. We find Tokyo’s scenery and its mixture of cultures has really inspired us when making music.
Which Japanese artists should we look out for?
Dufff is a great MC, with signature deep flows and serious lyrics. He and Nomine have an unreleased tune together that is truly incredible. Carpainter from TREKKIE TRAX is great, his garage production is incredible. Prettybwoy is one of the most creative producers in the game.
What platforms for grime exist in Japan? Labels, promoters, venues, websites, blogs, etc.
In terms of labels, there’s Soaku Kogyo run by Soaku-beats, which is famous for MC Dekishi’s albums, and Artcore G+ run by MC Dufff & Negatin. Last year, Artcore G+ had a grime night in Osaka with 10 grime MCs & DJs and it was pure madness. MCs in Osaka spit their bars aggressively with fast flows and it was incredible.
Promoters like GOODWEATHER, dbs, and BS0 (who specialize in Bristol Music) push international & local talents in the scene. We shared the stage with Elijah & Skilliam at a GOODWEATHER night at Nagoya.
Other than that, we’ve played at a number of dubstep, jungle, and reggae parties in Tokyo and we’ve found that the mixture of vibes inspires us a lot. As a result, our productions are not only influenced by grime, but also dubstep, dancehall & dub music.
There are plenty of local grime tracks but sadly few platforms on the web. We really love internet radio culture and are doing a semi-regular mix series for Radar Radio, we’ve done about five for them already. We also host a bi-weekly program on NOUS.FM, a Japanese internet radio station.
How did you originally connect with Pakin and other Japanese MCs?
We were finalists at an event called WarDubJP in 2013, and some MCs in the scene got to know us through that. We linked with MC Pakin 3 years ago. Pakin introduced us to Dekishi around that time too. We have plenty of exclusive vocals from them, and we would are excited to work more with those guys in the near future.
Want to tell us about your upcoming releases?
We are in the process of pressing a limited white label run of 200 copies [funded through Indie Go Go], thanks to all the support we’ve had from people over the globe. The vinyl will be shipped on June and will be sold via select distributors as well. We will be holding a Double Clapperz vinyl launch party in Ebisu BATICA, 16th of May. We are also currently working on something with Swimful, a Shanghai based producer. During 2016, we plan to release an EP digitally, so keep your eyes on us.

Manoj Kumar, known for featuring in films with patriotic themes, will be conferred the 47th Dadasaheb Phalke Award — the country’s highest cinema award — for the year 2015, the information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry announced.
The film fraternity congratulated the veteran film actor and director, who called the honour a “pleasant surprise”.
“It’s a pleasant surprise. I was sleeping, and I started getting calls from my friends. I thought they were kidding, but when I read the news myself, I realised that it’s for real,” Manoj Kumar, 78, told IANS over phone.
The coveted award — introduced to commemorate the contribution of ‘Father of Indian Cinema’ Dadasaheb Phalke to showbiz — is conferred by the government of India for outstanding contribution to the growth and development of Indian cinema. The award consists of a Swarn Kamal (Golden Lotus), a cash prize of Rs.10 lakh and a shawl.
“It is certainly one of the most prestigious awards we have. I am extremely satisfied with whatever I have achieved in my life, and my family is extremely happy with this news,” added the actor, whose career began in 1957.
Manoj Kumar’s last big screen appearance was in the 1995 film “Maidan-E-Jung”. He says he will try to be more active in the film industry now.
“I have been absent from the limelight, and that’s my mistake. I have been wanting to make a movie and will soon make one as I want to be more active,” he said.
Industry members are joyous that a deserving candidate is getting the award.
Born in July 1937, in Abbottabad, then part of pre-independent India, Manoj Kumar shifted to Delhi when he was 10. After graduating from Hindu College, University of Delhi, he decided to enter the film industry.
After the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri asked him to create a film based on the popular slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kissan”. The result was Manoj Kumar’s magnum opus and his directorial debut, “Upkar” (1967). The film helped him to bag the National Film Award, and it was also the first time that he took on the screen name Bharat — which he used in multiple films thereafter.
Manoj Kumar is remembered for his films “Hariyali Aur Raasta”, “Woh Kaun Thi”, “Himalaya Ki God Mein”, “Roti Kapda Aur Makaan”, and “Kranti”, and his body of work was recognised by the Indian government with a Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, in 1992.

Ky. GOP OKs Caucus Allowing Sen. Paul To Run For Re-Election And President The plan would let Paul run for president and re-election to his Senate seat at the same time without violating state law that bans candidates from appearing on the ballot twice in the same election.
The Kentucky Republican Party has agreed to hold a presidential caucus for Rand Paul — but only if he shows them the money.
The party's executive committee approved a proposal on Saturday to hold a presidential caucus on March 5. The plan would let Paul run for president and re-election to his Senate seat at the same time without violating state law that bans candidates from appearing on the ballot twice in the same election.
But the caucus could cost as much as $500,000, and the Republican Party has less than $170,000 in cash on hand according to its latest disclosure report. In a letter to party officials earlier this week, Paul claimed to have transferred $250,000 to the Republican Party to cover the cost of the caucus. But that turned out not to be true, angering some Republicans and jeopardizing Paul's support.
Saturday, after a more than four hour meeting that began with a prayer to God for wisdom and "that your will be done here today," Republicans agreed to approve the caucus on one condition: The state party had to have $250,000 in its bank account by Sept. 18 specifically reserved for caucus expenses. If the money is not there by the deadline, the caucus would be canceled and Kentucky would have its regularly scheduled primary.
Paul told reporters after the vote he was relieved, adding that getting the required two-thirds majority to approve the caucus was not easy.
"I think it is about something above and beyond one person. It really is about trying to grow the party and I'm thoroughly convinced that were I not in this race that this is just good for the Republican party," he said.
Paul said his most preferred method of raising the money would be to direct people that have already donated the maximum amount to his presidential campaign to donate to the state Republican party. But he said he would do whatever it takes to make it work.
State law bans candidates from appearing on the ballot twice in the same election. Paul tried without success to convince the state legislature to change the law. A presidential caucus allows voters to vote for Paul for president on March 5 and then vote for him again for re-election to his Senate seat during the primary election on May 17.
Saturday's vote passed 111-36, avoiding a potential embarrassment to Paul's presidential campaign. His plan, had the caucus failed, would have been to run for re-election to his Senate seat in Kentucky while running for president in the other 49 states.
Most committee members said their vote was motivated not by Paul's candidacy, but by a desire to make Kentucky a player in presidential politics. That's why Republicans crafted the caucus to appeal to as many of the 17 declared Republican candidates as possible. The plan calls for Kentucky's delegates to be split proportionally rather than "winner takes all," and candidates only need to get 5 percent of the vote to qualify for delegates. That's a threshold much lower than other primary states.
"This is not about Sen. Paul in my mind. This is about making Kentucky relevant," committee member Troy Sheldon said. "I think it's the best thing for voters."
Democratic Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's chief election official, said in a news release the caucus would "disenfranchise over 1.2 million Republican voters."
"One candidate should not be able to buy an election," Grimes said. "Democracy demands that all eligible Kentuckians be a part of the election process. That didn't happen today and won't happen with a caucus."
The caucus would operate much like a primary election, with voters attending polling places to cast their ballots. The difference is there would be a lot fewer polling places, in some cases only one per county, and voters can cast their ballots from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time instead of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Also, representatives from various presidential campaigns would be allowed to talk to caucus goers and try to win their votes. Military and other overseas voters could vote absentee.

My last post covered outsourcing as a strategy to reduce administrative costs for a small business, and improve the reliability of the service. Outsourcing can save both time and money, and enable small business owners to concentrate on running their business. Marketing and promotion are two other prime candidates for outsourcing. For small businesses and new businesses, marketing and promotion are critical activities, but small business owners often don’t have time to promote their operations. Outsourcing marketing activities can help ensure that you manage these critical business functions efficiently.
What benefits can you expect from outsourcing your marketing and promotions? Studies have demonstrated over and over that consistent effort is one of the keys to successful marketing. By outsourcing your marketing activities, you can reap one of the primary benefits of marketing – consumer recognition. Marketing and promotion are also highly effective for new businesses in terms of increasing awareness of the business and its products or services.
Through outsourcing your marketing and promotion activities, you can ensure that you have a marketing and promotion plan for your business, and that your plan is being followed, even when your attention is directed elsewhere. Your marketing and promotion service provider can also develop metrics to determine how effective your marketing and promotion plan is, and what – if any – changes should be made.
In addition, by outsourcing your marketing and promotion activities, you can experiment with new ideas and techniques to help draw new customers to your business, and retain existing customers. Using an outsourced marketing provider puts resources and experience to work for you, and eliminates (or delays) the need to hire a staff person to manage your marketing and promotion efforts.
By outsourcing your marketing and promotions activities, you can also get better control of the budget. Service providers generally try to stay within the established budget, because they run the serious risk of not being paid when they overspend on unauthorized or unplanned activities. When you have control of the budget, you ensure that whatever funds you’ve set aside effectively promote your business according to the plan you initially established.

Leave no leftovers behind with this Lock & Lock bowl set. From soups to salads, these containers are perfect to carry your lunch into work, even if it was prepared a few days in advance. From Lock & Lock.
Measures approximately 4-3/4" x 10" x 10"
Lock & Lock 2 piece Bowl Storage Set with Handle is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 33.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Madijosh from Sealed Shut-poor quality I just received this set of bowls and they are the perfect size that I wanted to use for leftovers or side dishes. Except that I can't open either one of the bowls! I have tried time and time again and every which way but I just can't get them open. What good are they? Back they go and I don't even want to bother with an exchange. This was a waste of my time to order these because now I have to take a trip to the post office to return them. If I could give them a zero star I would.
Rated 5 out of 5 by davo from performs as advertised large capacity & great locking lid keeps things fresh! Easy to clean and store.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MawD from Handle Heaven Great container for leftover homade soups or stews. Easy to carry/transport to my elderly mothers house. Easy for her to manage one handed while using a walker. I cook in volume and this is superb for storing in fridge.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tucker7 from Great Multipurpose Bowl I love the size of these bowls. These bowls are a great size and the lids with the handles are an added plus.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dobes forever from Lid broke Just received the bowls and was washing them in the sink when one of the lids broke (tab broke off). I haven't even used the bowls yet. Worse yet, these were a replacement for another set which also had a broken tab and a seal that kept coming out. I have over 60 pieces of Lock & Lock and have been using them for years with no problem, but they must have changed manufacturers because the latest 2 batches I've received are clearly inferior to the old Lock & Lock. These new ones are made in Vietnam and are pure junk. I notice in the TV presentations for Lock & Lock now they don't drop the product to show how they hold up any more. Now I know why.

In 2016, ENVE launched the SES 4.5 AR, a tubeless only wheelset optimized around high volume 28-32mm tires. Today, ENVE has expanded the SES AR lineup to include the new SES 3.4 AR, which aims to expand on the original’s feature set, by offering aerodynamic efficiency, ride feel, durability and weight, while being optimized for 28-32mm tires.
ENVE is offering the SES 3.4 AR as a rim set or complete wheelsets built with either an ENVE Disc or Chris King R45 hub set. The SES 3.4 AR starts at a complete wheelset price of $2550.
ENVE says the new wheels also deliver improved rolling resistance, and they have a wide hookless bead with anti-pinch flat technology. Materials and construction are designed for use with disc brakes, and the 25mm internal rim width is road tubeless optimized.
The SES 3.4 AR, like all SES rims features asymmetric rim geometries between the front and rear rims which aim to maximize aerodynamic performance for the airflow unique to the front and back of the bicycle. In this case, the front rim measures in at a depth of 39mm with an external width of 31.2mm, while the rear comes in at 43mm deep and 30.5mm wide.
The internal rim width of both the front and rear rims comes in at 25mm. The width of the SES AR family when compared to a modern but traditional aero road wheel is the result of an aerodynamic development project to optimize drag reduction and stability for high-volume performance oriented tubeless road tires.
It has taken a few years for frame manufacturers to produce the bikes with tire clearances required to accommodate these wheels, but the bikes are here now, and the SES 4.5 AR has become ENVE’s most popular wheelset in the North American market.
ENVE is touting the new SES 3.4 AR as the most versatile road wheel in their lineup given its lightweight full carbon construction, and ability to achieve aerodynamic performance with 28mm tires. However, a unique feature that certainly gives a nod to the new wheel’s versatility is the inclusion of a technology ENVE introduced initially on their M Series mountain line, and later included on the new G Series gravel wheels called Wide Hookless Bead Technology.
The purpose of the patent pending Wide Hookless Bead is to aid in the prevention of pinch flatting your tubeless road tires. While the likelihood of pinch flatting on a typical road ride is rare, ENVE expects their customers will look to the SES 3.4 AR for a one wheel quiver to ride on the road and at mixed surface events like the Belgian Waffle Ride, which features roughly 40 miles of dirt road and trail where hard pinch flat inducing impacts are likely.

I had went to the MD after and all he prescribed me were pain meds. First off, I am only into naturopathic medicine and the thought of taking any sort of drug got me worried out of my mind. But I took them to kill the pain. After taking the meds for few weeks, the pain was still there. I didn't know what to do about covering my bills from the doctor or how the insurance even worked. So I searched a bit and found OHC, with one call they helped me with treatment for my back and handled all my insurance information, and even arranged a lawyer to handle my case. They didn't charge me anything for whatever they did for me. They told me what they were processing and what to do when you are in a car accident. With treatment my back and neck pain subsided. They helped me out through this hard time.

ATLANTA, March 10, 2015 – The White House announced earlier today a new TechHire initiative to train and put to work 500,000 underserved Americans. Rural Sourcing Inc. is proud to announce that they, along with other companies have committed to provide their expertise and experience in workforce development to this effort. Rural Sourcing Inc. (RSI) an onshore software development company with development centers throughout the United States, will provide pro bono consulting services to community colleges, entrepreneurs and other community leaders to accelerate these efforts based on RSI’s proven method for identifying, hiring and training workers for jobs in the technology sector.
America has about 5 million open jobs today, more than at any point since 2001. Over half a million of those job openings are in information technology fields like software development, network administration, and cybersecurity, many of which did not even exist just a decade ago. The average salary in a job that requires information technology (IT) skills – whether in manufacturing, advertising, retail or banking, is 50 percent higher than the average private-sector American job. Helping more Americans train and connect to these jobs is a key element of the President’s middle-class economics agenda.
“Rural Sourcing Inc. is excited to participate in this initiative with the forward-thinking communities to create programs that ensure that their citizens have the skills needed to compete in a global marketplace. Further through these programs individuals should be able to remain in the communities where they currently live without having to move to major technology hubs,” said Monty Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing Inc.
As part of the TechHire initiative, 20 regions with open technology jobs, and more than 300 employers, are announcing plans to work together to create more tech training opportunities. The President plans to announce TechHire in a speech to the National League of Cities at 11:30am ESTin Washington, D.C. Live coverage will be available at http://www.whitehouse.gov.

British electricity customers will soon find out whether they will be saddled with paying for the world’s most expensive power station, Hinkley Point C. The first new nuclear station to be built in the UK for 21 years, Hinkley is the centrepiece of the government’s plan to cut carbon emissions and reduce British dependence on imported gas. In order to persuade French and Chinese investors to commit £18bn for this project the government, having repeatedly stated there would be no subsidy for nuclear energy, has promised that British electricity customers will pay for all the power the station produces at a price of £92.50/MWh (megawatt hour)—more than double the current market price of £35/MWh—for 35 years after the station is completed, and indexed to inflation (the price includes £2/MWh for decommissioning). On top of that, the government will guarantee (for a fee) that lenders to the project bear no risk. And it has undertaken that no future government can pass any law or policy that would hurt the investors, on pain of compensation.
There is no British nuclear company involved in the project because we have not had a British nuclear reactor design for 40 years. The project, if it goes ahead, will be a combination of French and German technology, funded by French and Chinese government-owned companies. The only role of the British will be to pay for the power it produces.There is a case for building new nuclear power stations in the UK, as the existing ones are nearly all scheduled to close within 15 years and it’s hard to see how we can meet the decarbonisation targets set in law by the 2008 Climate Change Act without new ones. But Hinkley is an unacceptably costly way of doing so. There are other nuclear projects in the pipeline and, while little is certain in the world of nuclear economics, there is good reason to think that the other stations will be considerably cheaper. Hinkley’s costs have risen dramatically as the new European Pressurised Reactor (EPR), the type of pressurised water reactor planned for Hinkley, has been revealed as all but unbuildable. The project sponsor, the French electricity company EDF, is now desperately short of cash and can ill afford the risk of this enormous project. What was supposed to be a privately funded project has turned into a three- way government deal. Yet we are stuck with high private sector returns which inflate the cost. The British government should cancel this project in the interests of protecting customers. But it fears that it would jeopardise the rest of the nuclear programme as well as break an agreement with the UK’s new best friend, China. So we are reduced to hoping that the French government, which is EDF’s major shareholder, will decide to scrap the project.
The problem is that the UK, for quite noble reasons, is committed to new nuclear stations as a crucial part of cutting the country’s carbon emissions. The government hoped that this could be done with private sector capital though EDF and the other nuclear developers all have actual or de facto state support. The first of these new stations, Hinkley Point C, uses a reactor type that has not yet been built on time or budget anywhere in the world. The hugely escalating costs have made a nonsense of leaving it to market forces, as EDF, financially weakened by falling prices in its French home market, now needs the British government to guarantee the project’s debts and to provide a 35-year price contract to make the investment worthwhile. Even then EDF cannot go it alone and has had to ask its Chinese partner, increasingly looking like a rival, to help fund the project. The British government dare not stop the project for fear of jeopardising the other nuclear projects in the pipeline, which offer the hope of lower costs. Without a lot of new nuclear capacity to replace the older stations, which will close by 2030, the government looks set to breach its own legally binding carbon emission reduction targets. So it is only the French government—the owner of EDF and also the promoter of the formerly very successful French nuclear industry—which might save us from Hinkley’s costs.
It’s rare for a commercial project to be bad for both sides—but Hinkley is. On one side we have an investment whose cost has spiralled out of control and now puts the financial viability of EDF at risk. That appears to be the view of Thomas Piquemal, the former Chief Financial Officer of EDF, who resigned on 7th March. It’s rare for a CFO to resign these days and this can only be seen as a mark of how risky this investment would be for the company. Indeed no ordinary company with a market capitalisation (the stock market value of the company’s shares) of around €20bn (£16bn) would risk investing €15bn (EDF’s two-thirds share of the project cost) in a single investment. No matter how high the eventual return might be, this is known in the financial world as betting the company, and a good CFO does not allow the board to do this.
But EDF is not a normal company. It may be quoted on the Paris stock exchange but with 84 per cent of its shares owned by the French state and with a board representing the great and good of French industry, it is a national champion, a symbol of France’s economy and the result of a spectacularly successful strategic commitment by France in the early 1970s to nuclear power. That commitment, driven by France’s lack of indigenous energy and its fear of being held hostage by foreign oil and gas suppliers, led France to have 70 per cent of its power from nuclear (the majority of the rest coming from hydro). EDF has enormous respect at home for its role in bringing the country economically viable, safe and reliable power. Since privatisation, EDF has also built a major international business with EDF Energy as its UK subsidiary. With limited scope for expansion at home, EDF has searched for a global role, touting itself as the company for the post-oil era. And indeed there is a large potential market for nuclear power worldwide (EDF also invests in renewable energy but it has no particular competitive advantage there). EDF is the effective leader of “team France,” a consortium of French nuclear engineering and design companies which hopes to sell French expertise to the world.
The problem is that the reactor that EDF is selling looks like a dud, at least economically. The EPR was developed by the French company Areva and the German company Siemens, which realised that a new generation of safer reactors was needed to reassure public opinion after the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 (the anniversary of which is 26th April). Siemens later dropped out of the project when the German government decided to phase out nuclear power following the Fukushima disaster of 2011 (whose anniversary was in March this year). The EPR is an enhanced version of an earlier French pressurised water reactor (PWR), itself derived from the standard United States Westinghouse design which France licensed in the late 1960s with full rights to build and sell it.
The second EPR is being built by EDF at Flamanville in Normandy, next to two existing nuclear stations. Intended to start operating in March 2012, the latest forecast date for completion is late 2018. Construction costs have risen to €10.5bn. The first EPR to generate power will almost certainly be in China, where two units are under construction at Taishan in the south of the country. One is now ready for testing. These are less delayed than the European reactors but then the Chinese, who have lower labour costs and a great deal of experience in building infrastructure, are now very efficient at building nuclear power stations, with 24 currently under construction.
The cost of the EPR at Hinkley has escalated from £8bn to £18bn partly as EDF has learned from the EPR projects elsewhere. It’s unlikely that Hinkley would see a further tripling of costs because much of that has already been priced in. Of the latest £18bn estimate, £2bn has already been spent, on a combination of site preparation and the maintenance of a large team of engineers and contractors.
The government saw itself as merely removing an obstacle to one type of energy, reflecting a private sector keen to invest in nuclear, without subsidy (other than some form of compensation for the carbon dioxide emissions saved). In line with the ideology of leaving energy policy to the market, begun by Nigel Lawson in the 1980s and largely intact until the present, the government would let private investors choose where to place their money, leaving the government above the fray.
This policy was unrealistic on several grounds. The first was that the government was adding policy goals, first for renewable energy as required by the European Directive of 2009 and then the UK’s self-imposed Climate Change Act of 2008. How to combine central targets with a market-driven energy industry? The government tried to keep as much of the energy market intact as possible but there has been a growing contradiction between ends and means.
Secondly, nuclear is not a technology that was ever likely to be delivered by the market alone. It is too large, costly and risky for any normal private company to fund without some form of state support or insurance. Private energy companies in the oil and gas sectors do manage investments on the scale of Hinkley Point C but they do so with relatively proven technology and by sharing costs between the world’s largest corporations. Even then there is often a degree of government support through state development banks. And the rates of profit needed to compensate for the risk are far higher than in electricity projects.
The biggest obstacle to private investment in nuclear is its exceptionally bad track record of construction risk, going back to the 1970s. Nuclear projects routinely overran, partly owing to legal challenges (especially in the US) and partly because each station is a cathedral-like structure of complex, bespoke engineering requiring exceptional project management and coordination of multiple contractors. These problems are magnified when the reactor is of a new kind. It is too expensive to build a full prototype to check the feasibility of construction and operation. So the first few are, in effect, prototypes. No private company could justify taking that risk, no matter what the possible returns if all went well. And no bank would lend to such a project without guarantees. And only a large creditworthy state could make such guarantees credible.
The field of nuclear reactor vendors is dominated by either state-owned companies (French, Chinese, Russian) or state-backed (Japan and South Korea). The US is not currently a major player because low gas prices make new nuclear development completely uneconomical in the US. The two key competing designs to the EPR are the AP1000 and the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR). Both were developed by American companies but are now built only by Japanese companies (Toshiba and Hitachi respectively). These ostensibly private companies are backed by the Japanese government and have access to state funding through the Development Bank of Japan. It is inconceivable that either company would be allowed to fail by the Japanese government if it got into trouble, especially when that government is committed to a long term restoration of the Japanese nuclear industry.
So it was naive and unrealistic for the UK government to believe that nuclear investment would be forthcoming in just the same way as for gas power stations or renewable energy, both of which attract private capital readily and willingly.
When it started developing the Hinkley Point C project in 2007, EDF probably really thought that it could finance the project itself, without any government subsidy (but with some form of carbon pricing) and make a reasonable profit. That’s certainly what the British government believed anyway. So why did the project reach the point where it has a 35-year fixed price contract, EDF depends on Chinese funding and the project still looks questionable?
Aside from the huge increase in the costs of the EPR, EDF has suffered a major reversal of financial fortune. Back in 2008 EDF was the world’s most valuable utility company, with a market value of over €140bn, based on investor confidence in its ability to generate safe, sustainable cashflows. It could certainly afford to finance the then €8bn Hinkley project cost. But the company is now worth a fraction of that value: barely €20bn. This is mainly because of a fall in income in its French business, as the government has cut the price it allows EDF to charge for its power. On top of that, EDF needs to fund a large capital programme to extend the lives of its existing nuclear station. The upshot is that the company has had negative net cashflows in recent years and has had to borrow to pay its dividend, something that is clearly unsustainable (the dividend was cut in February 2016).
Around 2011, the combination of worsening news on EPR construction in Finland and France and the company’s deteriorating financial position led to the awkward conclusion that EDF needed partners. But who would have the financial means and nuclear skill to be a suitable investor? EDF turned to the two nuclear companies with which it had been working in China for 20 years. China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and China General Nuclear (CGN) are, like EDF, state-owned corporations which operate in some degree as commercial businesses, but firmly under the policy guidance of central government. CNNC, which later dropped out of the Hinkley project, not only operates nuclear stations but is responsible for nuclear waste and decommissioning as well as China’s military nuclear activities. CGN, based far from central government in the commercial hub of Shenzhen, is somewhat more profit-minded and, without military activities, is a less problematic partner for western investments. Having learned how to build and design nuclear reactors from the French, CGN knows EDF well.
But why would CGN (and the Chinese government) want to invest in Hinkley? Because China is a new entrant into the global nuclear reactor industry and wants to build its own reactor in the UK. Hinkley would be the first step, a minority investment (CGN would take a 33.5 per cent stake) that would establish a Chinese presence in the British nuclear industry. The real prize would be if CGN could become the majority investor and operator of a project using China’s own new Hualong 1 reactor. If the Hualong 1 can get generic design approval from the UK’s Office for Nuclear Regulation (a roughly four-year process likely to start this year) then CGN hopes to build the reactor at Bradwell in Essex (EDF is supposed to be a minority investor in this project). In asking CGN to help fund Hinkley, EDF has allowed what may be its biggest competitor into the market. If Hualong is built and operated successfully it will be a tremendous boost for China’s hopes of leading the growing international nuclear power industry. EDF, if it keeps backing the EPR, could find itself excluded.
British government support for the Hinkley project remains solid. On 12th March the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) published “Five reasons why we are backing Hinkley Point C.” Amber Rudd, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, gave a speech on “a new direction for energy policy” in November 2015 which reaffirmed Hinkley and nuclear more generally as central to the government’s decarbonisation goals. It is widely believed in Whitehall that George Osborne, the Chancellor, is in favour of Hinkley, even while he has cut support for onshore wind (which is pretty much economic without subsidy but unpopular with Conservative Party members in the rural areas where they are typically sited).
The government is a prisoner of a policy created by the former Labour government, with overwhelming cross-party support and particularly from David Cameron, then Leader of the Opposition. The Climate Change Act of 2008 began life as the Big Ask campaign led by Friends of the Earth and a coalition of environmental groups in May 2005. They sought a legally binding commitment to greenhouse emission cuts with annual targets. David Cameron, seeking to detoxify his party’s “nasty party” brand, aligned himself and his party with the campaign. The campaign was spectacularly successful. A draft bill was passed in 2007 and unlike most legislation actually got stronger during its passage. The original target was a 60 per cent cut in the UK’s emissions by 2050. By the time the Act was passed in November 2008 it was 80 per cent. Only three MPs (all Conservative) voted against the bill. It was a remarkably ambitious and far-reaching piece of legislation. But most British people, watching the global financial crisis unfold, didn’t notice what was being committed to in their name.
The Act requires Parliament to set five-year legally binding carbon budgets (annual targets were too inflexible) on the path to 2080 and created the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) as auditor of progress and advisor on how to achieve it. From its first report in December 2008, the CCC envisaged a major role for nuclear power in hitting the targets. It also saw a large amount of carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology that would allow the continued burning of gas and coal but with minimal carbon emissions. But that technology remains unproven and the CCC’s estimates of its contribution to hitting the carbon budgets of the 2020s now look highly optimistic. So nuclear is even more important in achieving the carbon cuts, which already envisage a huge increase in offshore wind power, currently in progress.
New nuclear is at least four years behind the schedule envisaged by the CCC. Further delays risk the government missing its fourth and fifth carbon budgets (2023-27 and 2028-32). If this happens, the Secretary of State for Energy at the time is, in theory, in breach of the law. It’s not entirely clear what would happen then. Parliament made the law and could amend or even scrap it. But for David Cameron in particular, who lent considerable support to the Act, it would be embarrassing if the current government looks likely to miss its target.
So if the government were to unilaterally scrap the Hinkley project, it would risk missing its own carbon targets. And it’s not just Hinkley. The other nuclear projects in the pipeline, all led by Japanese companies, would also be vulnerable. Horizon Nuclear Power, a fully-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, aims to build two ABWRs (a jointly owned design with the US company General Electric), one at Wylfa in Anglesey and one at Oldbury in Gloucestershire. Both are sites of former nuclear stations (the original Wylfa Magnox station closed only in December 2015).
Hitachi’s rival Toshiba is promoting its own AP1000 reactor at Moorside in Cumbria through a joint venture with the French company ENGIE (formerly GDF-Suez). The AP1000 was developed by the American company Westinghouse, which is now owned by Toshiba, having briefly belonged to British Nuclear Fuels, the government-owned company that ran the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria.
Acquiring and developing the sites has cost the Japanese companies millions of pounds. They depend on British government policy remaining pro-nuclear and not changing any of the rules. An abrupt cancellation of Hinkley would cast doubt on the viability of these other nuclear projects, potentially leaving the UK with a very large hole in its decarbonisation strategy. If the claims made by the Japanese for their reactor types are confirmed, then they could be considerably cheaper than the Hinkley EPR. It is clear that, at present, the investors expect a similar type of contract to that of Hinkley, though the price is obviously negotiable. The increased political risk arising from a Hinkley cancellation would make the investors ask for even higher prices from the government in any future power contracts they sign.
The Hinkley site was chosen for the first new reactor in 20 years because it is in the south (where the demand is), it has seawater for cooling, good transport links and already has a grid connection. It also has local acceptance, in part owing to the two previous stations on the site. All of these would be true for an alternative reactor type. If the current Hinkley Point C project were to be cancelled then eventually somebody would build another reactor there. It could be EDF, or they could sell the site and recover some of their costs. The scale of new nuclear needed to meet the CCC’s visions for the early 2030s carbon targets, when nearly all of the UK’s existing nuclear stations will be shut, makes sites a valuable resource. So cancellation of Hinkley might not affect the total amount of nuclear built in the next 20 years, just the timing. Cancellation might lead to the Secretary of State asking parliament to approve a temporary exemption from the Climate Change Act without prejudicing the longer-term goal.
Later nuclear reactors should be somewhat cheaper than the EPR. It is currently about the same price per unit of energy generated as offshore wind but with the advantage that nuclear, once built, is generally reliable and can produce steadily through those days when wind turbines are idle. Until large-scale electricity storage becomes workable, nuclear seems essential to hitting our carbon targets.
It is not clear that the UK’s well-intended but somewhat vainglorious attempt to cut its carbon emissions is the best way for the country to help newly industrialising nations to grow safely. A big boost to research into more advanced clear energy sources might have been a better way to help the world and to boost British industry. New nuclear will help the UK construction and engineering industries, but the intellectual property and export value lies elsewhere. The UK abandoned its own nuclear designs four decades ago. Using French, Japanese or Chinese nuclear stations to hit the carbon targets seems a sadly inefficient way to meet the nation’s obligations.
There has been a remarkable degree of policy consistency and continuity on new nuclear, through three different governments (Labour, Coalition and Conservative). Governments are routinely criticised for lacking a long-term perspective. It is deeply ironic that in this one area where successive governments are committed to a very long-term goal, the outcome could be a costly blunder that will impose unnecessarily expensive power on an entire generation of British customers.
If Hinkley Point C is built, it will be one of the largest nuclear power stations in the world. At £18bn—a figure which could rise from delays already foreseen, and which could reach £24bn after financing costs—it would also be one of the most expensive. It would also be one of the government’s most costly mistakes.
That does not represent a single bad decision, however, but the clash between different policies, each well meant in their way. On one hand, there is the commitment to cleaner energy that does not emit carbon and the decision to phase out existing coal-fired power stations to meet that goal; there was also the desire to bring in foreign investment to fund the cost of nuclear.
The impact on energy bills—one of the few themes with which Ed Miliband, as Labour leader, was able to inflict damage on his political opponents—was conveniently set aside along the way, as tomorrow’s problem.
But the discomfort of EDF, the French energy company contracted to build the plant, with the high costs of construction and the impact on its own financial stability has brought tomorrow’s problem home today. So has the threatened closure of the huge Port Talbot steel works, where one of the myriad financial problems of the plant is high energy costs.
If Hinkley is built, it will saddle the UK, people and companies, with electricity that costs more than double the current wholesale price. That dwarfs the other concerns about the project, from the UK’s point of view, although they are hardly trivial. There are worries about the likely delay; this is only the fourth reactor of its type—and probably the last—being built in the world, and the others all have significant delays. Problems with design of the dome have emerged. The role of China in providing a third of the finance has also raised security concerns.
But it is on cost that the greatest challenge comes, and that is the reason why the government should use the wavering of EDF to back out. That would not have to mean the end of nuclear power in the UK; nuclear remains an important way of reducing carbon emissions. But there are cheaper, already established, nuclear power designs around.
The UK could pick one of those, and wait while others emerged. For all the political embarrassment, and the hazards of revisiting the planning process, the case for doing that on cost grounds alone seems overwhelming.
