Arctic Offshore Farming is developing a new concept for salmon farming using remote-controlled and submersible fish pens based on offshore technology. ABB will have system responsibility for electrical, automation, instrumentation and telecom solutions.
Arctic Offshore Farming is a Norway Royal Salmon (NRS) project. NRS has received development permits that allow the company a total of up to 5,990 tons of salmon at the fish farm location.
Design for Harsh Environment
The offshore farm consists of two large fish cages that are placed in the Norwegian Sea outside Troms, in an area where weather and wave conditions are far more demanding than inside the fjords, where traditional farms are located.
Placing the farm offshore reduces its environmental footprint, while providing an opportunity to study if this can provide a healthier environment for the fish. But the harsh climate also means stricter safety requirements are required. ABB will be responsible for designing the monitoring and control systems that will make it possible to operate the plant safely. This means, among other things, that there are back-up solutions, or redundancy, in critical systems such as energy supply and communication.
The solution is a part of ABB Ability, the company's unified, cross-industry digital offering—extending from device to edge to cloud—with devices, systems, solutions, services.
High Demands for Stability
Pontoons over and under the fish pens will keep them in place in two different positions. In the service position, the facility is lifted to allow access to the equipment. In the normal operating position, the roof of the cages will lie 10 meters below the sea surface.
In ballasting and de-ballasting (raising and lowering), the fish pens will be partially submerged.
Among the most critical systems are the pontoon ballast water systems, designed to ensure that the pens are stable. ABB will deliver the control system with sensors, monitoring, automation and interfaces for the remote control of the pumps. The harsh climate in the Norwegian Sea presents challenges with fouling and icing, which will cause time-varying weight changes challenging the constructions ballast system supplied by ABB.
Extensive Data Collection
The system also collects environmental data including meteorological conditions, ocean currents, oxygen level and sea temperature. It also monitors the pH at different depths and the amount of biomass in the cages, among others data points.
"One purpose of awarding a development license is to find solutions to some of the challenges the industry has today so that it can continue to grow in a sustainable way. The pens will be unmanned and operate in submerged operation. The fish pens are remotely controlled from a feed barge that lies about 400 meters from the pens. Technically, the fish farm can just as easily be managed from a control room on land," says Lars Wasa Andersen, sales specialist (aquaculture) at ABB.
ABB is working to be the most valuable partner within electrical, instrument, automation and telecom systems for aquaculture customers to help improve efficiency, environmental impact and productivity across the value chain, including enabling new solutions for fish farming offshore and onshore. Fish welfare, traceability and food safety are key focus areas of ABB's support.
The entire solution is scheduled to be in place by the end of the third quarter of 2020.

Paris Hilton's beau, Chris Zylka, just showcased his love for her by doing the most. In a recent post to her Snapchat account, the reality star/heiress/DJ shared a pic of her boyfriend's new tattoo, which serves as an ode to Paris and The Happiest Place on Earth. Disneyland Paris, perhaps?
Zylka's tribute to his love for Paris is an amalgamation of her name and the iconic theme park. Or, more precisely, it's Paris's name in the iconic Disney font.
Word is still out on why Zylka decided to go for this font over literally any other one. But we're willing to wager the new tat has some secret meaning behind it. Which means we're willing to get on board with it, since we love secrets and romance. We're thinking it might mean that he's found his fairytale princess? Or, maybe Paris + Chris = a future fairytale ending? Who knows! But, if it's about love, we can dig it.
There seem to be a lot of Disney-style magic and changes going on in Paris's life these days.
Sounds like Paris's love life is riding on a wave of magic these days. And we'd say that's worth some Disney-style appreciation.


Should CRE Investors Go Back To Defensive Investing?
Over the last eight years private equity real estate has witnessed some of the best total returns in its history. This has also coincided with the longest stock bull market in U.S. history. Some investors feel as if the current expansion can continue unabated. More disturbingly than that, and perhaps spoiled by the astounding returns in this cycle, many investors are still reaching for IRRs they achieved in the near past, blithely ignorant of the fact that most of the appreciation was the result of mean reversion and record low interest rates. Investors remain aggressive today when they should be defensive.

Monday's Rugby News looks at the results from Super Rugby Aotearoa, the Waratahs confirm their home venues, the Brumbies preparation ramping up and Chris Alcock's shock retirement.
Green And Gold Rugby · Rugby Report Card 106 – Call Of Rugby
Aotearoa Analysis
Augustine Pulu passes
As the Kiwis enjoy their final moments of being the only major professional rugby competition in business, the Blues have continued their unbeaten run with a narrow 27-24 win over the Highlanders.
The Highlanders looked set to cause a major upset after turning around a 22-10 deficit at half-time into a 24-22 lead after 55 minutes.
However, flanker Dalton Papali would find the line for his second in the 55th minute, with the team from Auckland holding off waves of attacks to maintain top spot on the ladder.
Captain Patrick Tuipulotu was proud with the transformation that his side has undergone, noting that they would've likely crumbled under the intense Highlanders pressure in previous years.
"A couple of years ago, even last year we weren't able to hang on we didn't have the composure. I'm proud of the fact we managed to do that now," Tuipulotu said.
"We're comfortable backing our defence for long periods of time."
They are joined at the top of the ladder by the Crusaders, who continue to go from strength to strength as they outclassed the Chiefs 19-13.
Fullback Will Jordan scored a try either side of halftime to put the Crusaders ahead 18-3 whilst the Chiefs would bag 10 points early in the final quarter thanks to a converted try to Sean Wainui and another McKenzie penalty, they couldn't manage to hang onto the ball to secure the upset victory.
All Blacks hooker and Crusaders captain Codie Taylor was full of praise for Jordan after his exceptional performance at the back.
"We knew it was going to be a confrontational game and we had to make sure the breakdown was really clean," he said
"A young fella like Will Jordan who's on his toes and just wants to get involved and it's awesome to see the boys backing their skills especially in conditions like this."
Iron sharpens Iron

Brumbies assistant Peter Hewat believes that the internal and external pressure on the ACT club will ensure that their players will be firing across the 12-week competition.
For now, their competition has been largely internal, with the side competing in an intra-club match over the weekend as they look to finalise their matchday 23.
Hewat believes that the intense nature of these sessions will ensure that players are pushing themselves and ultimately making themselves better as they look to back up their strong Super Rugby form.
"The intensity was in our game, game speed, speed of the game, we brought a few things to our game which we're trying out over the break so it was nice to see them under full game pressure," Hewat said.
"As coaches, we were very happy with how it went. Most importantly, Friday proved a good reminder of the jostling that players will have to do to earn a spot in the 23,
"You want guys that are pushing each other and making each other better in the long run,
"We've had a squad mentality the whole year and that'll probably be more important over this next competition."
Dan McKellar will have a near-full strength squad to pick from, with locks Cadeyrn Neville and Nick Frost the only players that are set to be unavailable for the opening round clash against the Rebels.
One of the biggest headaches for McKellar lies in the back row, with flanker Tom Cusack admitting that it will be tough to usurp their current starters, particularly new recruit and King of the North(s) Will Miller.
"I'm comfortable with the coaches' decision on which way they choose to take it," he said.
"Obviously, I'd very much like to be a part of the starting side come July 4 against the Rebels but Willy Miller's in fantastic form as we saw at the back end of the first block.
"The back row in particular…everyone's putting their best foot forward coming into round one and it's going to be a fantastic back row no matter which combination they choose to go with."
Waratah homecoming
Lalakai Foketi offloads to Beale.
The Waratahs are set to return to the site of one of their greatest victories after announcing that they will take their round three game against the Brumbies to ANZ Stadium.
As they prepare for their opening round derby against the Reds, the Waratahs have confirmed that they will host the Force at the SCG on July 11 before taking their clash against the Brumbies to the place where they secured their first Super Rugby title in 2014.
They haven't played at ANZ since the 2015 season, playing their home games at the now-demolished Allianz Stadium before taking games across NSW in the past four seasons.
The ground was expected to be out of action as it went under refurbishments, however, it has now become an option as the NSW Government delays work on the Olympic Stadium.
Venues for the Waratahs' final two homes, the Reds on August 8 and the Rebels on August 29, are yet to be confirmed as they wait for the AFL/NRL to confirm their arrangements heading forward.
NSW Rugby CEO Paul Doorn was confident that the remaining fixtures would be locked in over the coming days, with the club eager to return to action after a three-month holdout.
"We're of course still operating without a permanent home ground while we await the construction of the new Sydney Football Stadium, but during this period many teams have been displaced or playing in unfamiliar surrounds," Doorn said in a statement.
"We've got a great relationship with the SCG Trust and understand that both they, and Venues NSW are working within a very congested sporting market at present.
"We're all facing challenges as we look to see professional sport return post-COVID and scheduling is one of them, we've seen how quickly things can change [with bio-security] but we're close to locking in all of our home games."
Alcock's shock retirement
Chris Alcock socres for the Brumbies
Western Force flanker Chris Alcock has sensationally announced his reitrmeent on the eve of the Super Rugby Australia competition.
The South African native started his career at the Waratahs in 2010 before making his move to the Force in 2013 where he played for four years.
He would re-join the squad after spending a year with the Brumbies despite their exile from the Super Rugby, emerging as one of their best throughout the Global Rapid Rugby series.
The 32-year-old made the call after admitting that his mindset towards the sport had changed, more focused on preserving his body and avoiding injury.
"I've put my body through a fair bit of stress and damage and it just came to the point where I was more concerned about getting injured than playing rugby," Alcock said.
"I got pulled out of second-grade rugby to go to the Waratahs – I was only training one day a week while I was at university, so I did not see that happening from where I was,
"With rugby I have been able to travel the world. I've lived in Japan, I've played in South America, New Zealand and South Africa. I can't give it enough credit for what it has given me.
"I've absolutely loved it here; this is my seventh year at the Force. I really love Perth and I love the people here. And the club is amazing – I've thoroughly enjoyed that side of it."
Teammate and USA international Marcel Brache was full of praise for the effort and commitment that 'Cocky' had given to the side both on and off their field.
"I think it is difficult to put into words how much Chris has given to the club and how much he means to the club as well," Brache said.
"You wouldn't have thought that Cocky had called time on his career the way he was training but also the way that he was checking in on the players, I think it's just Chris' nature. He is a very caring and genuine guy."

We know though that not everyone is as comfortable with IT or perhaps they just do not have the time to discover new functionality or experiment with what's there.
So here are a few Google shortcuts that we think might help you to quickly find what you are looking for on the internet.
Tapping in "Weather" followed by your post code or town or state e.g. "Weather Melbourne" will give you current weather details. You can add more criteria if you want to be more specific like "Weather Melbourne yesterday".
Keying "Translate" followed by a foreign word will give you the English equivalent. You can also key in the English word and ask for a translation in to another language. "Translate garden into French" for example.
If you are interested in the stocks and share prices for a particular company just key in the appropriate stock name – "Stock NAB" for example.
If you are interested in the departure or arrival of a particular flight simply key in the airline name and the flight number.
Adding a file type to your search string will give you results matching that particular type. Many companies provide user manuals (etc.) for their products as PDF files online so all you'd have to do is key in your product name followed by "filetype:PDF".
If you are looking for services, or anything else for that matter, in a particular area or locality then visiting the Google Local then keying in the locality you are interested in followed by whatever it is you are looking for will give you a selection to choose from eg "Melbourne hotel".
If you are interested in finding out which sites incorporate links to your own site or blog then keying "link: http://yourwebpage.com" will give you a list. (Where 'yourwebpage.com' is your URL.
Missing a call can be annoying and frustrating if your caller doesn't leave a message Tapping in their number with the full area and country code will provide you with their name and address.
You can use the Google search bar in the same way as a calculator. A very handy tool if mental arithmetic is not your forte.
These are just a few of the many shortcuts that we at Server Sentry think could be useful to you. You might try putting in as one of your favourites, "Server Sentry – technical support Melbourne" and you'll always immediately get our contact details back!
There are many others that you can experiment with and don't hesitate to ask us for help.

Chart Book: The War on Poverty at 50, Section 3
Today's Safety Net Cuts Poverty Nearly in Half, Provides Health Care to Millions, and Has Long-Term Benefits for Children
| By
Arloc Sherman, Sharon Parrott, and Danilo Trisi
The safety net has developed over many decades and now helps millions of people make ends meet and access affordable health care. Census data and new research show that the safety net today both keeps tens of millions of people above the poverty line and has positive longer-term impacts on children, including improved educational and employment outcomes. Still, poverty in the United States remains high and many families face real hardships as they struggle to make ends meet.
The following charts illustrate that:
The safety net cuts poverty nearly in half (Part I);
Tax credits, unemployment benefits, and SNAP reduce poverty substantially (Part II);
Social Security keeps millions of seniors out of poverty (Part III);
Public programs provide health coverage to millions of seniors and low-income people (Part IV);
The safety net provides lasting benefits (Part V);
Many households continue to face hardships (Part VI);
Other countries do more than the United States to reduce poverty (Part VII); and
The safety net has weakened for very poor families, but SNAP fights extreme poverty effectively (Part VIII).
Part I: Safety Net Cuts Poverty Nearly in Half
The safety net kept 41 million people out of poverty in 2012 — including 9 million children — under the federal government's Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). Unlike the official poverty measure, the SPM: 1) counts rather than ignores non-cash benefits, tax credits, and income and payroll taxes paid; 2) takes certain expenses such as child care into account when considering the income that a family has available to buy basics such as food, clothing, and shelter; and accounts for geographic differences in the cost of living.
CBPP analysis of federal Census data show that the SPM poverty rate would be 29.1 percent if no government assistance were taken into account. But the poverty rate falls to 16 percent when such benefits are counted. The safety net reduces poverty among people of all ages, including children.
Part II: Tax Credits, Unemployment Benefits, and SNAP Reduce Poverty Substantially
Together, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit kept 10.1 million people — including 5.3 million children — out of poverty in 2012. Unemployment benefits also reduce poverty significantly, especially when unemployment is high: they kept 2.5 million people (including 600,000 children) out of poverty in 2012. In 2009, when unemployment was higher and jobless benefits more generous, they kept 4.9 million people out of poverty (including 1.3 million children).
SNAP (formerly food stamps) kept 4.9 million people — including 2.2 million children — out of poverty in 2012. SNAP also cut the number of children with income below half the poverty line from 4.9 million to 3.5 million.
And, as noted at the end of this section, SNAP keeps more households with children out of "extreme poverty" — defined as having income of less than $2 per person per day — than any other government program.
Part III: Social Security Keeps Millions of Seniors out of Poverty
Social Security lifted 26.6 million people out of poverty in 2012, using the SPM. This includes 17 million seniors plus many younger people, including more than 1 million children. Without their Social Security income, 55 percent of seniors would have been poor in 2012, a Census Bureau report shows; with Social Security, their poverty rate under the SPM is 15 percent.
If Social Security did not exist, many elderly individuals likely would have saved somewhat more and worked somewhat longer, and many might live with their adult children rather than in their own households. Studies confirm, however, that Social Security has made a very large contribution to reducing poverty.
Part IV: Public Programs Provide Health Coverage to Millions of Seniors and Low-Income People
Medicare and Medicaid, created in 1965, provide health coverage to millions of seniors, people with disabilities, parents, children, and starting in 2014 in states that adopt the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, to poor childless adults as well.
In its early years, Medicaid was primarily limited to families receiving cash welfare benefits and some poor seniors and people with disabilities, but it has since expanded. And health reform will extend Medicaid to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty line in states that elect to implement the new expansion. Health reform also provides near-poor and moderate-income people with subsidies to buy private coverage through insurance marketplaces.
Over the past 15 years, expansions in Medicaid and the creation of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) have further reduced the share of children who are uninsured.
Part V: Safety Net Provides Lasting Benefits
Recent research has increasingly documented that programs such as SNAP and the EITC have longer-term positive impacts.
Children With Access to Food Stamps in 1960s and 1970s Grew Up Healthier and More Likely to Finish School
A recent study of what happened when food stamps (now called SNAP) gradually expanded nationwide in the 1960s and early 1970s found that disadvantaged children who had access to food stamps in early childhood and whose mothers had access during their pregnancy had better health and educational outcomes as adults than children who didn't have access to food stamps.
Among other things, children with access to food stamps were less likely in adulthood to have stunted growth, be diagnosed with heart disease, or be obese. They also were more likely to graduate from high school.
Supplementing Families' Incomes Improves Children's Educational and Employment Outcomes
Numerous studies have found that young children in low-income families do better in school if their families receive additional income from the EITC or similar supports.
For example, one study found that raising family income through refundable tax credits (primarily the EITC) makes it more likely that children in the family will attend college and have higher earnings as adults. The authors conclude that "a substantial fraction of the cost of tax credits may be offset by earnings gains in the long run."
Another study found that children in low-income families that received an annual income boost of $3,000 (in 2005 dollars) between the children's prenatal year and fifth birthday earned an average of 17 percent more as adults, and worked 135 hours more annually, than similar children whose families did not receive the added income. The additional 135 hours of work is nearly a third of the gap in adult work hours between children raised in poor families and children raised in families with incomes exceeding twice the poverty line.
EITC Boosts Employment Among Parents
The EITC's positive impacts aren't limited to children; by helping "make work pay," the credit also acts as a powerful work incentive for adults. The EITC expansions enacted in the 1990s "appear to be the most important single factor in explaining why female family heads [of households] increased their employment over 1993-1999," according to a well-regarded study.
Part VI: Many Households Continue to Face Hardships
Census data show that in 2011, nearly 1 in 5 American households struggled to meet one or more of nine measures of basic need or of avoiding serious financial difficulty. These measures include difficulty in meeting essential expenses, not keeping up with monthly rent or mortgage payments, being evicted, not keeping up with utility payments, having utilities or phone service cut off, not seeing a doctor or dentist when needed, or not always having enough food. The share of households experiencing several of these measures of serious financial difficulty worsened between 2005 and 2011, the Census data show.
While material hardships are highest among households with cash incomes below the poverty line, they also remain high among near-poor families (those with incomes between 100 and 200 percent of the poverty line).
Many poor children live in households struggling to meet basic needs and avoid material hardship. A CBPP analysis of the Census data indicates that 58 percent of poor children lived in households that experienced at least one of four serious hardships: "low food security" (i.e., problems affording adequate food), overcrowded housing, falling behind on rent or mortgage payments, or having utilities cut off. Close to half of children in near-poor families faced such hardships, too, as the next chart shows.
This is especially troubling in light of growing evidence that young children whose families struggle to afford the basics may be exposed to high levels of stress that can hinder children's healthy brain development and future academic achievement.
Part VII: Other Countries Do More Than the United States to Reduce Poverty
Many other wealthy countries' poverty rates are similar to (or even higher than) the U.S. rate, before factoring in the impact of the safety net. But these countries have lower poverty rates — sometimes much lower — after counting benefits from government programs. This reflects the fact that nearly all of these other countries do more to fight poverty: their programs are more generous, more accessible, and broader in scope than those in the United States.
Part VIII: In Recent Decades, Safety Net Has Weakened for Very Poor Families, But SNAP Fights Extreme Poverty Effectively
The number of households with children that have income of $2 or less per person per day — one definition of poverty that the World Bank uses for developing nations — more than doubled between 1996 and 2011, to 1.6 million such households, according to a recent study. The researchers found that a main cause of this increase was the changes in cash welfare programs in the wake of the 1996 welfare law, which made the program more work-focused but also much less accessible for many extremely poor families. The researchers wrote that it was "obvious that cash assistance was having a substantial impact in reducing extreme poverty in early 1996, and having a much smaller effect in reducing extreme poverty by mid-2011."
These findings are troubling. The authors do also show, however, that SNAP cuts the number of households with children in extreme poverty nearly in half. SNAP does more to alleviate extreme poverty than any other government program.

Anne Service whose son Brian was murdered in October 1998 urges the Secretary of State to make sure the institutions proposed to deal with the legacy of the past, do not once again fail.
Anne Service an 78 year old widow whose son Brian was murdered in October 1998 by loyalist paramilitaries as he walked along Alliance Avenue to his parents' home in Ardoyne has said that since then she and her family have been treated by the authorities as if 'Brian's life and death did not matter'.
In an open letter to the Secretary of State Anne Service has appealed to James Brokenshire to make sure that the institutions proposed in the Stormont House Agreement to deal with the legacy of the past do not once again fail the hundreds of families whose loved ones murder made headlines for a day and was then forgotten by all but their family and friends.
"Brian was the middle one of our three boys.
I was brought up in a family of love not to hate anyone and so was Brian.
He'd worked in London as a painter and decorator for quite a few years but had come home.
He was quiet in the house but a bit of a character outside with a lot of friends and he enjoyed watching sport with a few beers like anyone else of his age.
That's what he was going to do the night before Halloween when he went to see his brother.
We had a meal together before he left and I know he went out of our house that night with love.
He wouldn't have worried about walking home because we were told we had peace by then.
When they told me he was dead I just wanted to lie down on the ground where he died alone to be close to him even for a moment.
I am telling you all this so that you know that Brian was a real person because after his murder that's not the way he was treated.
It was as if he never really existed as a person and that his life and death did not matter.
The police hardly seemed to bother with an investigation.
He was dead and that was it.
I complained to the Police Ombudsman but I have no idea if his case will be looked at in my lifetime.
The Police Ombudsman has already said that it will take over 20 years to get through current cases.
I can't wait that long.
I do not think for a minute that I am any different from hundreds of others who have not seen anything approaching justice for the murder of their loved one.
It is three years since the Stormont House Agreement.
There is to be an Historical Investigations Unit to look at unsolved cases and an Information Retrieval Commission for those who want information rather than trying to get prosecutions.
Secretary of State can you assure me that Brian's case will be looked at properly this time?
Can you assure me that they will have the time and resources to do the job properly this time?
Can you assure all the others who feel they have been forgotten because their loved ones murder made headlines only for a day that they their loss will be acknowledged with respect?
My husband Davy died four years ago knowing no more about what happened to our son that we did when they came to our house at 7am to tell us he was dead.
Please don't let us be forgotten all over again".
Anne tells her story in Stories From Silence on www.storiesfromsilence.com from the WAVE Trauma Centre.


V mariborskem kinu Udarnik se je z zaključno slovesnostjo in razglasitvijo zmagovalcev zaključil 4. Mednarodni festival otroškega in mladinskega animiranega filma ENIMATION little elephant. Mednarodna žirija v sestavi hrvaške filmske kritičarke in publicistke Diane Nenadić, slovenske likovne pedagoginje Maje Škorjanc in njenegega kolega iz Srednje šole za oblikovanje Maribor Dejana Paske je izbrala zmagovalce tekmovalnega programa.
Glavno nagrado little elephant v višini 150 evrov, ki jo podeljuje Fundacija Sonda, si je prislužil film Zasebni detektiv Mason Phelps, ki ga je ustvarila skupina irske mladine. V kategoriji MINI (do 10 let) je slavil belgijski film Abrakadaprd, ki ga je ustvarila skupina sedmih otrok, v kategoriji MIDI (11 do 14 let) delo kar 22 poljskih ustvarjalcev Človek in njegov hudičev partner, v kategoriji MAXI (15 do 19 let) pa slovenski film Strah, ki so ga ustvarili Črt Mate, Andraž Mohar, Domen Gorjup, Natalija Kosmač in Lene Lekše.
Več fotografij s festivala najdete na naši Facebook strani!In Maribor's Cinema Udarnik, the award ceremony concluded the 4th International Children and Youth Animated Film Festival ENIMATION little elephant. The international jury – Croatian film critic and publicist Diana Nenadić, Slovenian art pedagogue Maja Škorjanc, and professor at Secondary School for Design Maribor Dejan Paska – chose the winners of the festival's competition programme.
The main prize of 150 eur is awarded by Foundation Sonda and KID Kibla, and was won by the film Mason Phelps Private Eye, created by a group of Irish youth. In the MINI category (up to 10 years) the winner is the Belgian film Abracadafart, created by a group of seven children; in the MIDI category (11 to 14 years) a film created by 22 Polish creators About a Man and His Devil Partner; and in the MAXI category the film Fear, created by Črt Mate, Andraž Mohar, Domen Gorjup, Natalija Kosmaš, and Lene Lekše.
The film excelled in its dramaturgy, visual design, and production. The chosen animation technique with some artistic solutions successfully presents the characters and their emotional responses. The chosen soundscape and the use of silhouettes for presenting people transfer the viewer into the imaginary space where somewhat different rules apply – the rules of children. What impressed the jury was the children's directness about something (farting in company) that is not tolerable in most cultures and their tolerance towards it.
Man already proved at numerous occasions that he/she can outwit the devil. In this artistically convincing journey we were fascinated by the dynamics of the tale – not merely of the narrator, that only confirms the dynamics – but mainly of the artistic and technical solutions of building up the scenes, and the changes between them. The chosen technique emphasizes the contrast between the good (man) and the evil (devil).
Already in the opening credit, the film shows that man is made up of fear. Through thoughtful animation solutions, and simple aesthetic and clean graphics, the film compensates or the lack of narration. Furthermore, it is the lack of narration that leaves the viewers to one's own interpretation – each of us has their own fears. The abstract illustrates the human fear, which in itself is abstract. The appropriate selection of the soundscape, the contrasts, and the play of shadows all round up the compactness of the animation.
In the classical criminal story – stylistically flirting with film noir – the authors successfully included the problems of ecology and recycling. A witty story with a solid dramaturgic bow does not merely attract us with the carefully chosen details, but also succeeds in showing the emotional states of the characters. Filmic framing, original music, and the unobtrusive soundscape help to further strengthen the story. Carefully selected sequence of various shots gives the story the proper rhythm, suggested by the genre.

In the words of one of my favorite childhood cartoon characters, Rafiki from the Lion King, It is time! Time for what? Well, for SHOT Show 2019. We are leaving in just a few days and every year we try to step up our coverage of the show so it's like you're there with us. For those of you who've never heard of this all-important gun trade show, let's discuss its importance as well as what I'm most excited for this year, in particular.
What is SHOT Show? To put it plainly, it's THE outdoor trade show. It covers all things shooting, hunting, and just plain old firearms related. It's been happening since 1979 and used to take place in various places across the country.
However, for the past 10 or so years it's been held in Las Vegas at the Sands. It's a massive event where most, though certainly not all, of the gun-industry manufacturers will be all under one roof. It's the biggest firearm event of the year, each year, and is something that people travel to not just from around the country, but from around the world.
I've met people from Russia, Philippines, Israel, Turkey, and plenty of other countries there on the show floor. The show consistently draws tens of thousands of people during the week of January it's held, with last year having about 65,000 people pass through the doors.
Even though 65,000 is a lot of people, not everyone can go. You have to meet certain criteria, and for media professionals like myself, it's getting more difficult to go with each passing year. Not because it's expensive for companies to go, even though it can be, but because you have to be a part of the firearm industry media, meeting certain standards.
What this means, is that only legit media companies can go, and again, it gets harder every year.
Furthermore, it's even harder to get into the Media Day at the Range the day before the show itself starts. The Range Day is by invite only, and only folks who are industry pros with actual industry contacts can go. This means that you need to have dealt with the big boys and gals over at one of the companies exhibiting and they have to recognize your professionalism and invite you to go.
In that age old saying, it's not who you know. But who knows you.
Last year, 1,700 people went, and of those, about 1,000 were media. When you take into account that each media company goes with at least 3 people, with the bigger companies going with more than that, it means that there aren't that many media companies actually recognized by the industry as legit.
For example, ConcealedCarry.com is going with at least 8 people, though I'm not certain when people's flights get in. Oh, and we are a medium size media company. Why so many people? Well, we have a couple guys with cameras, a couple people doing interviews, some people just taking pictures, others just doing social media type stuff, and others still taking notes to write articles.
Take all that for whatever it's worth, but ConcealedCarry.com will be there in force with a team of people trying to bring you the best coverage of the Show, the newest product showcases, and interviews with as many great people as we can.
In fact, let's talk about what this looks like. We start on Sunday with SIG's personal media day where we get to spend a few hours with SIG Sauer and a few of their friends shooting their guns, talking about anything they've got that's new, and just all around having a grand old time at the range.
Then, Monday, we spend at the range in the middle of nowhere. While we'd love to upload content, articles, and videos during this time, there is absolutely zero signal there and hot spots have never worked, either. This is when we get to play with all the new goodies. We can handle and shoot the new pistols, shotguns, rifles, machine guns, and anything else you can think of. It's a great time with tons of walking around in the sun.
By the end of the day, most of us fat bodies (I'm talking about myself here) are ready to travel back home.
But instead, we spend the rest of the week split up among the 12 miles of isles. Nothing but gun industry goodness for as far as the eye can see.
This is when Riley will be out in force podcasting his little heart out. I'll be out collecting data on the new guns and gear to write quick info articles up, Corey will be out videoing stuff for our YouTube channel, some folks, like our buddy Annette Evans, will be posting to social media, and Mitch will … well, he'll order lunch for us all like it's nobody's business.
Hey, we all have our talents, right?
A moment ago I said that there are 12 miles of isles. That's not an overstatement by any stretch. I don't think I've ever seen the entire show any of the years I've gone, and I average 5-6 miles per day. How is that possible? It's just the way it's set up, because there are three floors of vendors and if you want to see everything, you can't stop to look at any of it.
It's a massive show, and it's our job to bring it to your front door. Make sure you stay tuned because this will be our best year yet.
What am I looking forward to this year?
For one, I'm always looking forward to the range day. Shooting stuff and spending time with like minded people is always a good time. I'm also looking forward to the Mossberg pistol, the new SIG Copperhead, the new Colt King Cobra, Glock's new line, as well as anything else that hasn't been announced yet, and there are always tons of new products that are not announced beforehand.
Our coverage of SHOT Show is such that it's almost like you're there keeping up with us. But, you have to know where to get that content from.

A.	Based on recent market trends in New York State, the types of electric generating facilities most likely to be proposed pursuant to the Article 10 process are natural gas-fired facilities and wind-power facilities. But it is possible that other types of generating facilities will be proposed. The Summer 2012 installed generating capacity of power plants in the New York Control Area is 38,902 MWs, type classified as follows: Gas with Oil Back-up 36.9%; Gas 15.7%; Nuclear 13.5%; Hydro 11.0%; Oil 8.5%; Coal 6.1%; Pumped Storage Hydro 3.6%, Wind 3.5%; Refuse 0.7%; Biomass (Wood) 0.1%; Solar 0.1%, and Other 0.2%.
A.	The preliminary scoping statement must be filed no less than 90 days before the date on which the applicant files its application for an Article 10 certificate. In addition, at least three days before the preliminary scoping statement is filed, the applicant must publish a public notice and summary of the preliminary scoping statement in local newspapers in the affected area and serve a copy of the notice and summary upon public officials and all persons who requested to receive such notices.
A.	Applicants submitting a preliminary scoping statement are assessed an intervenor fee equal to $350 for each 1,000 kilowatts (1 megawatt) of generating capacity of the subject facility, but no more than $200,000. For example, for a 100 megawatt facility, the pre-application intervenor fee would be $35,000 (100 x $350).


If you are searching for a method to relax and unwind without turning to marijuana, then these tasty, chewy, and real to taste gummy bears are going to be the best purchase you have actually ever made. CBD is extracted from the hemp plant and does not contain THC like marijuana does. For that reason, they are non-psychoactive yet offer a legal relaxing and soothing result.
Picture yourself being in your favorite seat under your bed linen chilling out and watching a film or 2. How more unwinded could you get? Well, a fair bit more relaxed if you have a couple of CBD Gummy bears. The Cannabidiol (CBD) that is carefully mixed into the gummy bears is not psychotropic, therefore it does not trigger a high or result in any type of addiction.

CBS Evening News Cites EagleFordShale.com
September 16, 2011 R.T. Dukes
Wellhead Image
CBS and the nation are beginning to see the impact of the Eagle Ford job boom. CBS Evening News cited EagleFordShale.com in a story on the oil patch. You can watch the story- Here.
The forecast is bright for South Texas and a big thanks goes to the oil & gas boom. A National Petroleum Council report released on September 15, 2011, estimates shale oil plays like the Eagle Ford might add as much as 3 million barrels per day of domestic oil supply. That's enough to get the news press going. If we can get closer to meeting our own energy needs, that will mean energy security and more jobs.
The 400 mile stretch in south Texas is a job factory and estimates go as high as 66,000 to 68,000 new jobs by the year 2020. That's direct jobs. When you consider the new hotels and other industries that benefit, that number increase by several fold.
In the U.S., there are a total of 177,100 workers drilling for oil and gas and that is up 21% since the beginning of the recession. Throw in the landowners that are receiving generous paychecks and we have new millionaires born each day.
A new pipeline in Hobson is gushing money for the small towns that dot a 400-mile stretch that geologists call the Eagle Ford Shale.
"I'm gonna hire as many people as I can possibly afford to hire," David Brodsky told CBS News reporter Bigad Shaban.
Brodsky used to own a coin laundrymat. Now, he's on his way to becoming a millionare.
"I was just sitting in my living room one day," Brodsky says, "and somebody knocked on my door and decided they wanted to lease my property for oil."
Brodsky used the money to buy three RV parks - which are now packed with oil workers. So he's expanding. He's building up to 600 rooms, which are all already rented.
Energy companies are rushing to the area to tap deposits that could produce up to 12 billion barrels of oil, and enough natural gas to power every American household for at least five years.
By 2020, that number is expected to increase to 66,000.

Halliburton San Antonio Office to be a Bexar County Supersite
August 27, 2011 R.T. Dukes
Halliburton's San Antonio office will be here soon and it will be big news for Bexar County. The quote of the article is "supersite". Halliburton has over 2,100 employees in South Texas. That's a good indication of how many people could be directed from the San Antonio office. That number will likely grow with drilling and production in the Eagle Ford. The site for the proposed Halliburton office has yet to be determined, but the company owns 150 acres at the northeast corner of Loop 1604 and Interstate 37 in southeast Bexar County, TX.
You can bet the office will bring several hundred jobs and possibly 1,000+ to the San Antonio area. Baker Hughes's San Antonio operations center was announced a little over a month ago and it is expected to bring 400 jobs to the area. Weatherford's Bexar County office is just across the street from where Halliburton owns land and on top of that, Schlumberger's South Texas office will likely be announced in the coming months.
I'd bet the greatest number of jobs will be sourced from Halliburton's office. Just being conservative, those four companies will easily add 1,000 full time jobs to the area. There are already lots of openings and this will add to the booming energy job market in South Texas. If you're looking for a career in energy, search Eagle Ford Shale Jobs Here.
Oil-field services giant Halliburton Co. is shopping for a "supersite" in San Antonio that would employ hundreds to serve its clients that are drilling in the Eagle Ford shale, Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said Thursday.
"It looks promising," Wolff said, and added that Halliburton likely will make a decision in 30 to 60 days.
If Houston-based Halliburton does establish a major office in San Antonio, it "would be the biggest (Eagle Ford-related company) in terms of employment as well as diversity of the jobs," Wolff said.
Because the company would bring high-paying jobs, landing it would be tantamount to San Antonio's winning the Toyota pickup plant, he said.
Wolff and former Mayor Henry Cisneros, along with local economic development officials, met with six Halliburton officials Thursday in Houston.
