Brexit and energy: Time to make some hard choices
Sir Philip Lowe
If Britain quits the EU's single energy market, it will have to invest more in electricity generation, pay higher prices and accept a bigger state role in the energy sector.
The biggest energy policy challenge facing the UK and every other EU member-state is to guarantee that supplies of low-carbon electricity are affordable for households and competitive for businesses.
If Brexit means the UK leaving the EU's single energy market, it will have to invest more in new electricity generating capacity, pay higher prices – arguably with less security of supply – and accept a bigger role for the state in the energy sector.
EU energy legislation has three aims: to make it easier to trade and invest across EU borders by opening up national grids and connecting them to wider regional and intercontinental networks; to promote low-carbon energy (which means more electricity in the energy mix, and – alongside nuclear – more renewable energy); and to guarantee solidarity between member-states when one of them faces a threat to its energy supplies.
The underlying logic of EU energy legislation is that within a bigger network, stretching across a number of countries, and including more varied sources of supply, countries will be able to economise on large investments in generating capacity and be able to deal more easily with increasing volumes of intermittent renewable energy.
At the same time, member-states within the EU have full discretion over which energy sources can be developed on their territory, as long as they comply with their emissions reductions targets. For example, the UK has so far chosen to invest in new nuclear power stations, whereas Germany has opted to close all of its nuclear power plants.
The aim of the single market is to remove national barriers to trade and investment and open up national markets to competition so that supply and demand, not governments, determine where electricity and gas flow. Talk of 'having access' to the European energy market but 'not being part of it' makes little sense. If the UK can switch interconnections off and on at will, it will have a separate national market. The British will be free to broker government-to-government deals, but these will have little to do with market economics.
Neither the economics nor the politics of energy markets favour policies to 'take back control'. For example, in order to obtain better energy security, countries need to show solidarity with neighbouring countries, which implies more interdependence and governance by supranational bodies, not less.
The UK faces a choice between economics and sovereignty. If it opts for sovereignty, there will be little or no need to co-ordinate or co-operate with the country's European neighbours, which will satisfy eurosceptics. But if it decides in favour of continued integration in the energy field, it will benefit from more competition, less need for new generating capacity, lower prices and better energy security.

TIDAL WAVE-Spider Spider-Best Of The Tidal Wave (S African psych pop 1969) CD
The Tidal Wave were one of South Africa's foremost exponents of psych influenced pop music in the late 60's and early 70's with hits like 'Spider Spider' (1969) and 'Mango Mango' (1970) and 'With Tears in My Eyes.'
Although they existed for a relatively short time, the band is regarded by many as the bridge between pop and the then developing 'underground' South African rock scene.
This compilation gathers together for the first time all the hit singles, B-sides and rarities. Yes, they did play pop and had a few hits, which were featured on the top radio stations at the time, Springbok Radio and LM Radio.
However Tidal Wave also played very interesting psychedelic pop rock enhanced by the fuzz guitar sounds of Mike Pilot. There is a wide variety of music styles covered on this Tidal Wave retrospective. Lovers of end-of-the-sixties psychedelic pop and rock will discover many hidden gems, including the progressive rock sounds of 'Get It Out Of Your System' which would not have been out of place on an Abstract Truth album.
This disc also includes the funky soul sounds of 'Town Girl', featuring Peter Vee's lead vocal, which was previously unreleased. Tidal Wave is fondly remembered by many and now all their music—the hits, misses and rarities can be found in one place.

Dealing with and Letting Go of Emotions.
Emotions are neither good nor bad. They are just feelings.
However, when we hang onto negative emotions, negative thoughts, wrongs people have done us or those close to us or injustices in the world, you literally cause an energy block.
Emotions, feelings, and intuition are little compasses giving you directions so that you can have a fulfilled life, and be the best and truest version of yourself, which is where all the happiness and true desires lie.
So, if you bury an emotion, a feeling or a "ping" of intuition that you would have been better acknowledging, you condition yourself to this as the norm. We deaden our intuition and our knowing.
The problem is, we are gifted with emotions, feelings, and intuition for a very important reason and purpose, and you ignoring them is like a slap in the face to the Universe.
The system of energy in the universe is designed to bring us the things we want or need, however what we spend the most time thinking about is then what the energy system interprets as what we want more of and so that's what it sends us.
Even if you just ruminate or go around and around thinking about the same thing over and over again, the energy becomes dense in one spot and stops the energy flowing.
Even constantly stressing will add energy blocks to your system, as stressing affects our auto immune system, and this then impacts our bodies negatively.
When energy gets stuck, it needs to be released or it will manifest itself by affecting us in the physical. It sets up an inflammatory, fight or flight, reaction, which then leads to a compromised immune system and disease.
Sometimes we think burying our emotions is something we have to do, often we push aside our feelings thinking, "I will deal with this later." However, doing this buries them in our subconscious. Our subconscious mind is clever and will try to get you to deal with them by bringing them to the surface every now and then, but if something has been buried for long enough, it's going to come up in a weird way that at times will be difficult to even trace back.
Imagine the checkout chick is talking to another customer and you are waiting, waiting, waiting, then when finally, she serves you she is rude. You suppress it, act like nothing happened. A few days later, you've consciously forgotten all about the checkout chick, but you go home and flip out on something your partner did to upset you. This was your subconscious reminding you that there was a blockage, but it resurfaced in an nasty way, then we are mad at ourselves and our partner and the blockage gets bigger and we have no idea what caused it all.
When you wake up in a bad mood.
When you say, "I'm okay. I'm fine," even if you're not.
When you can't say what you truly feel to a person for fear of being rejected, ridiculed, or judged.
When you take refuge in over self-indulgence (eating, drinking, drugs) during emotional lows.
When you allow yourself to think as or become a victim.
When you have a few drinks and hatred, anger, unforgiveness and lack of compassion raise their heads.
It is impossible to bury emotions.
They can't be destroyed by ignoring them or burying them.
When you bury your emotions, you are actually planting a seed—a seed that is then watered with denial and negligence—and it eventually resurfaces in an ugly and unpredictable way. It must instead be processed and released to clear the energy block.
START A JOURNAL. Each day, write down all the emotions you felt, you may need to do this several times a day to start with, as you become aware of an emotion, either good or back, jot it down, either on paper or in your notes on your phone. This is insightful as it.
Frustration at someone not helping themselves.
Happiness, from my dog looking out for me and loving me.
Gratitude for the birds in the trees and a beautiful one sitting on my fence.
Hunger as my sugar was going low.
Not bad for just over an hour. This tells me I still have quite a few issues to deal with.
This will help you to acknowledge in writing the feelings and sentiments of the day and take the time to look at why I experienced the ones I did.
RELEASE YOUR STUCK EMOTIONAL ENERGY.
A quick way of dealing with emotions on the spot is to say, "anger/sadness/grief/wounding/frustration/fear/anxiety etc is happening here", instead of "I'm angry…" or "You are angry….".
Just recognize the emotion without making it yours or someone else's. Become the observer and let go of any attachment to it and see what difference it makes.
Go to a private place where you can be alone for a while.
Close your eyes and breathe slowly.
Breathe deeply, until your whole body is relaxed, and your mind is clear. Revisit the emotion.
Ask Spirit of Light and Love to help you or call on your angels for help, ask them to show you the cause of this emotion and to help you deal with it until it has no more power over you.
Try recreating the original episode and imagine it playing out in a better way.
Her smiling at you and you smiling back.
While this rewinding a situation seems fictitious, it does rewire the emotion and can also be used for the bigger stresses of life. For example, you said something, and your previous partner lost it and got violent, you can rewrite the situation with him not doing that and being understanding and loving instead. As strange as this seems it really does work as I have used it myself for some pretty big traumas.
Use visualization to see the energy being cleared. You could imagine a vacuum literally sucking the blockage out of whatever part of my body is feeling affected.
SET ALARMS TO REMIND YOURSELF TO CHECK IN..
Set your mobile phone alarms with two-hour intervals.
Once the alarm sounds off, check yourself and your emotional state.
We tend to get stuck in negative cycles, so cutting into them allows for conscious awareness to be brought in. Write down the feeling for the 2 hours.
If you find you're already in an awesome state, give it some gratitude and write these down too.
Talk to a person who you truly trust, a person who accepts and loves you for who you are or for the bigger stuff I recommend seeing a therapist. A counsellor or a natural healer* that can help you find what is at the root of what you are feeling and help you to walk through the release process.
It is important that this is someone you really trust.
Tell them your raw emotion.
But be careful not to turn it into a victim party or a gossip session.
When you are dealing with the emotion, don't get into thinking and making judgements about the person or people who you may feel caused you that emotional harm.
Does it have a colour?
Just sit with this feeling for 90 seconds and if we don't feed it with negative thoughts, it will pass.
A friend once put it this way, when negative emotion comes knocking, invite it in, give it a seat, have a cuppa with it and then usher it out the back door…and never ask it to spend the night!!!
Write that emotion and the issues related to it on paper.
Watch it turn to ashes.
This ritual helps in creating a closure to an emotional burden.
Being authentic means embracing our vulnerability. Emotions are neither good nor bad. It is what it is.
The 72,000 emotional receptacles all over our bodies dictate how we feel or react in varying life situations.
We can't control emotions but we can choose what our reactions to them will be. Consciously embrace your emotions and start living an authentic life.
Grant me the courage to face and embrace my emotions. Emotions are gifts. They manifest my power to feel and create. May I see emotions not as frightening giants that are bent on stepping on me but as opportunities of growth, self-knowledge, and expansion.
As these are alternative therapists, it is always good to get a referral from a friend or look online but look at the reviews they have. Unfortunately, just as you can have unethical or just untrained counsellors you can also come across the same in the Natural healing world.
Hi, I am so excited to be entering a new phase of my life. As most of you know I have been through some major life changes in the last 18 months and have been searching for direction.
Don't you just love those "Ahha" moments when everything clicks into place and you know what it is you are her to do.
A lot of you who know me may know that apart from my photography my other passions included Reiki (I am a Reiki master), aromatherapy, crystals, crystal readings and reflexology.
From as young as I can remember I have always had psychic abilities, however at that time I just assumed everyone did. It wasn't until my late teens that I became aware that I was different from a lot of other people.
I couldn't believe that everyone didn't see angels and didn't have an intimate relationship with the Divine.
It made me sad to realize that so many people struggled through this world alone unaware of the help and comfort that was available to them.
At first I tried to share it with others through religion, but I then realized that religion was man made, God wasn't. However when I used the word God people automatically think you are religious so what was the answer.
I loved this because that is exactly how I had experienced the Divine, a being of unconditional love and light. Total love and total acceptance.
I wanted a way to share the help I had received with others but the help I got was for me and my situation, how could I help them in their situations.
I had used Angel Oracle Cards for years for myself and doing readings for friends and I realized this was a way I could deliver messaged and show people the help that was available for them in their situation.
I undertook a number Angel Oracle Training classes and realized this was what I was meant to do.
So you will see my website now shows the name Angelic Messages for you and Photography by Julia K Harwood.
I have always seen my art and photography as bringing healing into peoples lives, this is just adding another layer to that.
This is quite a long post so I will leave it there….but stay in touch…good things are coming…..
Yes another year has started and I am excited to see what it brings.
I plan on continuing with my digital art and am opening a small gallery at my house.
Hopefully I will have this up and running within the next few weeks. I will let you know details as they happen.
Have you been out enjoying your photography?
Did you get some great Christmas photos?
I hope so. If you like what you got but want to improve I am available for individual coaching, just email me at jules@juliaharwood.com and we can go from there.
If you received Photoshop for a present or if you have had it a while but want to learn how to use it better, I can help you. I work on your photo with you, so you are learning how to use Photoshop with your images as well as I will give you advice on how to improve the shot when you are actually taking it.
I hope your 2018 is one filled with happiness, love and joy.
Remember we can always find the treasures in life if we stop and look for them.
This is my latest art piece, hope you enjoy it.
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas and to thank you for being part of my life.
As you will know this year has been very difficult but I am still here, I am still living and I am beginning to thrive again.
No matter what life throws at us, we can face it and more than that we can overcome it….for those of you who don't think I know what I am talking about, the fact that my husband was diagnosed with terminal leukemia and then four day later we lost our house to a fire and everything we owned and then less than 5 months later my husband passed away, so I think this allows me to say that we can overcome it, I am living proof of that.
I have had to walk the cancer path with the chemo thrown in, then buried my best mate, my rock, my lover and then try to rebuild first a house to live in and then a life to live.
I learnt a strange thing….the more you lose the easier it is to let go.
After the fire I thought I would hold on tightly to everything we re bought, but none of it had any memories attached and I now knew it could all be gone in just a few minutes. When my husband died I realized the fire had been preparing me for this, it taught me that you can let go and move on, you can choose to live in the here and now and enjoy every moment or dwell on everything you have lost and be miserable.
I do have the advantage that I believe we live on after this life, so to me Colin is only a thought away now and as long as I live I am living for both of us. Yes I get sad and have moments of tears, sometimes days of feeling overwhelming grief, but I also know that this will pass and I will be ok. I also have a strong faith in God (but I am not religious) and that has been a huge help in getting me through this year, just knowing that someone knew what the future held and that there was someone who loved me and had my back.
It is having beautiful people like all of you who have made me see that I still have a purpose and as the new year begins I plan to be adding things here on a regular basis.
Thankyou for all your love and support.
Have a happy holidays and a wonderful and blessed New Year.
angels always watching over us. In the times I felt most alone, these were the times I realized that my angels were actually right there watching over me. So this is an art piece I did to show this.

Divide the pork mixture among lettuce leaves and top each with some of the grapefruit salad.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the zucchini into long thin strips. Thinly slice the asparagus on a diagonal. Toss the slices together and place the salad in a serving bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and drizzle over the vegetables. Toss to coat. Garnish with the pecorino shavings. Serve.
Place the chicken, margarita mix, tequila, cilantro and chicken seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag; squeeze out the air and seal. Massage the bag to combine the ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 12 wooden skewers in water.
Preheat a grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade; thread each piece onto a skewer. Oil the grill grate; grill the chicken skewers for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through. Serve on a platter with arugula and lime.
To make the Avocado Cream: In a serving bowl, mash avocado, sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt, to taste.
To serve, arrange flautas on a platter of shredded lettuce and serve with Avocado Cream on the side.
Preheat a grill to medium high. Wrap the grape leaves around the cheese to cover it completely; tie with kitchen twine.
Brush the wrapped cheese with olive oil and grill, turning once, until the leaves begin to char and the cheese is soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix 1/4 cup olive oil, the rosemary, red pepper flakes and salt to taste in a bowl. Transfer the warm cheese to a serving plate, pour the oil on top and remove the twine. Serve with bread.
Make the polenta: Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta and cook, whisking, until thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the sage and pineapple. Brush a 9-inch square baking dish with vegetable oil; add the polenta and spread evenly. Press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the polenta and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Prepare the shrimp: Puree the pineapple in a blender until smooth. Place 1/4 cup of the puree in a bowl (reserve the rest for another use) with the shrimp, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss, then cover and marinate at room temperature, about 20 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and wrap a strip of prosciutto around each piece.
Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat and cook until brown flecks appear. Remove from the heat and stir in the pineapple.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium and brush with vegetable oil. Cut the polenta into 12 squares and grill until marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp until the shrimp is pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Serve the shrimp on polenta squares, drizzle with the butter sauce and garnish with parsley.
Whisk the lime juice, sugar, chile paste, and fish sauce in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cilantro and stir until evenly dressed with the sauce.
When ready to serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter. Put about 14 cup of pineapple in each leaf and season with salt to taste. Top the pineapple with the nut mixture. Serve, letting your guests wrap (or fold) each lettuce leaf to enclose the filling.
Sambals are potent Indonesian condiments packed with chiles. There are different kinds, but the slightly tangy sambal oelek is a blend of hot red chiles, salt, vinegar or tamarind, and sometimes garlic. Other Asian chile pastes are suitable substitutes.
It is important to chop the nuts by hand-not in a food processor. Machine-chopped nuts will be overworked and pasty. The dish is so much better when the nuts have a distinct texture.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, toss with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast until golden and tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the chicken in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a simmer over medium heat and poach until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for a bit, then cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, chicken, bacon, celery, onion and garlic. Mix in the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, paprika, fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad in lettuce cups and roll up to eat.

Boys regional soccer semifinals
Jacksonville Mandarin at Spruce Creek
WHEN: Today 7 p.m.
WHERE: NSB Sports Complex
RECORDS: Mandarin (21-4-2); Spruce Creek (24-1-4).
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Spruce Creek -- Austin O'Brien, Kiro Roman, Roshan Patel, Fernando Cunha. Mandarin -- Hector Vega, Kleijdi Basko.
ANALYSIS: The Hawks look to get back to the regional final for the first time since 2008, when Spruce Creek went all the way to the Final Four in Class 6A. Spruce Creek is humming on all fronts heading into this match, scoring four goals in a win over Neptune Beach Fletcher last Thursday. But Mandarin will pose a stiff test. The Mustangs advanced to the Final Four last year before losing to eventual state champion Boca Raton, and look to be equally as strong this season. Hawks keeper Roshan Patel is likely to be tested early and often.
NEXT: The winner of this game will be on the road Friday against the winner of the Lyman/Timber Creek game.
Jacksonville Providence at Taylor
RECORDS: Providence (15-4-1); Taylor (17-4-1).
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Taylor -- Jose Rios; Billy Galarza; Ricardo Vargas, Josue Lopez.
ANALYSIS: Stop me if you've heard this before: Taylor's boys soccer team is in the regional semifinals. For the fifth consecutive season, the Wildcats have reached this point, but in each of the last four years they've been beaten in the semifinals. This year the Wildcats may have their deepest team in years, led by Rios, who has scored 42 goals, and Galarza, who had two goals and two assists in Taylor's 6-0 regional quarterfinal win. Providence fell in the first round last year, but got a bye into this round after Father Lopez had to forfeit its quarterfinal game with Providence due to having used an ineligible player.
NEXT: The winner of this game will be in the regional final Friday at either Lakeland Santa Fe Catholic or Lakeland Christian.
-- Michael Lewis

Stories from Australia Adelaide Festival Much interest in Mardi Gras is given to its historical legacy, to commodification and to questions of political identity. Please donate and help us thrive. Riding to Mardi Gras is therefore crucial in sustaining a sense of collective belonging among group members and performing a shared Dyke on Bike identity. And what is their connection to Mardi Gras? Overall, the film festival had an optimistic vibe this year. Stories from Iceland, a documentary about queer youth that claims to be the first queer film to come out of Iceland.
While travel to Mardi Gras is crucial to the Dykes on Bikes it is not the parade itself, but rather the immense journey, that serves as a fundamental dimension in sustaining a collective sense of belonging among group members. Stories from Iceland, a documentary about queer youth that claims to be the first queer film to come out of Iceland. A Cautionary Tale , an allegorical coming out tale by young director Nicholas Verso, who was also present at the festival. Pink Sheep Although the annual Mardi Gras Film Festival is the largest lesbian and gay film festival in Australia, like most community arts organisations, Queer Screen which runs the festival has gone through its share of crises and transformations over the last decade. In addition to dominant conceptualisations of motorbike riding as synonymous with freedom, escape and individuality, the Dykes on Bikes celebrate and value notions of a collective identity and a sense of belonging. After moving house with his family, the boy comes to believe there is something lurking at the end of the corridor in their new home. It takes four days — two each way.


Reviled by many, adored by some, there is no denying that Starbucks tops the coffee charts when it comes variety.
But there's more to the ubiquitous chain than even a grande, hot, decaf, triple five-pump vanilla, non-fat, no foam, whip cream, extra hot, extra caramel, upside down, caramel machiato might suggest.
Beyond the thousands of flavours and orders the company will happily brag about, according to those in the know there is also a 'secret menu', one which features exclusive concoctions such as the Dirty Hippy and the Captain Crunch.
Experienced coffee drinkers have been known to stroll into a branch and order Zebra Mocha without the barista battling an eyelid, according to the people at The Daily Meal who have uncovered a slew of secret recipes.
Other flavours that have been revealed as exclusive, unadvertised combinations known by the Starbucks team include the Grashopper and the Cake Batter Frappuccino.
Anonymous online conversations between former employees and coffee obsessives are scattered around food blogs and photo sites with tips as to where to order what and how to make sure you get it.
But some say that it isn't as simple as knowing the name if you want to ensure you get the right beverage and it helps to know the ingredients.
JUST HOW SECRET IS THE SECRET MENU?
All combinations, of course, require nothing more than the ingredients on offer in branches of the mega-chain so a lot of the detail is in the preparation.
The Undertow Shot for instance is a hot shot of espresso layered over cold milk that is layered over syrup.
Everyone is familiar these days with a Chai latte but if you double up on the shot, the regular Chai drink is apparently elevated to off-the-menu status as a Double Dirty or Extra Dirty Chai.
Alternatively, if Dirty isn't your style, the soy version is known affectionately as the Dirty Hippy.
The Penguin Mocha or Marble Mocha combines the white chocolate mocha with the regular mocha for those who have decision making issues.
But if what you are looking for is an extra zing there is always the option of adding raspberry flavoring for something called the Red Tux Mocha.
Fans of the cereal may be disappointed to learn that Captain Crunch does not contain sweetened corn and oats, but to many the combination of hazelnut syrup in a Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino is similar enough in flavour to earn the title.
So the next time you swing by your local branch for your regular shot of breakfast energy, think again. There may be something better than you just didn't know about before.
Zebra Mocha - White chocolate mocha with java chips and chocolate chips sprinkled in.
Three C's: Cinnamon dolce latte with caramel syrup and chocolate mocha syrup.
The Widow Maker - Half iced black tea, half iced black coffee.


Historically, Microsoft was focused on quantitative market research (surveys) but is evolving to include social, telemetry, and financial data. For instance, from 1999 to 2012, server market share measurement was based on a bi-annual survey tracker with manual analysis. From 2013 to 2017, it relied on survey research and big data ("one telemetry source"), presented manually each quarter. Its latest incarnation, focused on the cloud, is fully automated and integrates survey research and four telemetry sources in a monthly dashboard with DIY queries and simulations. "Originally, counting hardware was acceptable but then virtual servers grew. Our source became the exhaust from other company's businesses: we looked at the nodes on internal company networks and analyzed those in the tens of thousands. Now we use the exhaust of other businesses for analysis, looking at financial data of lots of companies that use our services and competitors' cloud-computing platforms." To harmonize large volumes and varieties of data requires natural language processing, machine learning, and other types of artificial intelligence.
Historically, Microsoft shared data primarily through PowerPoint. In fact, Reed said, "I am contractually obligated to love PowerPoint!" But it is not the only way "to move from insight to action." Microsoft wants to "break the mold of the one-hour meeting plus PowerPoint deck." Another Microsoft product is emerging here, Power BI (Business Intelligence). Internal clients are being trained to run their data requests through Power BI rather than emailing analysts. In fact, an early lesson has been to not be afraid of the easy win when it comes to digital transformation, such as moving existing projects to BI.
Other early lessons include focusing on generating energy and clarity for digital transformation, engaging stakeholders consciously, and fostering a growth mindset. He said, "Through the last 18 months, we've run the first mile in the marathon. We're going through this with no road map. We don't have the next 3 or 4 years mapped out completely. Instead, we ask ourselves, what's the next smartest thing that we can do or try?" Digital transformation of the insights function promises a large future return on investment.

Q: Start Button from Right to Left Instead of Left to Right I am trying to make it so that the Button in the LinearLayout starts from the right side and to set the Button 5dp from the right edge of the LinearLayout, with the TextView showing to the left of the button.  Currently, it only allows to set the button from the "left" edge of the linear layout. I've tried all sorts of ways but nothing seems to work.
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/remote_button_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="55dp"
    android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
    android:background="@drawable/btn_remote_button"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
        android:text="Example Text"
        android:textSize="10sp"
        android:fontFamily="@font/mmedium"
        android:textAllCaps="false"
        android:layout_width="125dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="@android:color/secondary_text_light"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_remote_button"
        style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
        android:layout_width="40dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginEnd="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/btn_remote_button"
        android:drawableStart="@drawable/logo"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="1.0" />

</LinearLayout>

A: You can set android:layout_weight=1 parametr to TextView

A: Use layoutGravity tag in your xml as (right, left)

A: You have to add android:gravity="right" in Layout. So all the inner widgets will be set from right to left manner. Like below.
<LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/remote_button_layout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="55dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
                android:gravity="right
                android:background="@drawable/btn_remote_button"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

A: Use this android:layout_gravity as (left,right) you can refer this link What is the difference between gravity and layout_gravity in Android?

A: In your case you can just change add the android:gravity="right" attribute in your LinearLayout.
  <LinearLayout
      android:gravity="right"

Before:

After:

You can also consider to do something different using a MaterialButton adding the text and the icon.
    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"
        app:icon="@drawable/..."
        app:iconGravity="end"
        android:text="@string/..."/>

12th Largest State in the Union is now the "State of Disability" with Full Benefits
Posted by Jim Spence on Monday, July 23, 2012
CNS - The number of workers taking federal disability insurance payments hit yet another record in July, increasing to 8,753,935 during the month from the previous record of 8,733,461 set in June, according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration.
The 8,753,935 workers who took federal disability insurance payments in July exceeded the population of 39 of the 50 states. Only 11 states—California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey—had more people in them than the number of workers on the federal disability insurance rolls in July.
Virginia, the twelfth most-populous state, had 8,096,604 people in 2011, according to the latest Census Bureau estimate. That would make Virginia's population about 657,331 less than the number of workers who took federal disability insurance payments in July. Read full story here: News New Mexico
Commentary by Jim Spence - Carter Bundy once a regular guest on our radio show is a union activist. Earlier today he wrote a commentary piece that was posted at NMPolitics. You can read it here: News New Mexico
The problem with the Bundy column is it cites unemployment statistics that are totally false. The states with the highest unemployment rates are as follows according the U.S. Department of Labor website's most recent figures here: http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm/ Nevada 11.6, Rhode Island 10.9, California,10.7, New Jersey 9.6, South Carolina 9.4, North Carolina 9.4, Georgia 9, New York 8.9, Mississippi 8.8, Illinois 8.7, Florida 8.6, Michigan 8.6.
Bundy says eight of the top twelve are right-to-work states. He is either completely uninformed or intentionally misleading his readers. The split is exactly 6-6 between "right-to-work" and forced union states. You can obtain the list of right to work states at this website: http://www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm
What is particularly instructive is the list of the thirteen states with the LOWEST unemployment rates in the nation on the Labor Department site. Of those thirteen, nine of the twenty-two states with right to work laws made the list.
Bundy goes on to cite higher wages in forced union states as evidence of why you can obtain a better life if you simply live in a state where you might be forced to join a union. Again, he is completely misleading the reader. Reality says that inflated wages don't go far in these forced union states thanks to the complete lack of affordability of housing. In forced union states like California, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut housing is out of reach for a huge percentage of the population. Citing inflated wage numbers doesn't make the cost of living any more bearable in those states. In part this explains why forced union states are losing population (and congressional seats) steadily to right-to-work states. Or put more simply, people are getting the hell out of those places.
Bundy cites the Economic Policy Institute as his source. This is an anti-business Washington D.C. based progressive propaganda machine. You can learn more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Policy_Institute Facts are very stubborn things....and they do matter.
New Mexico has highest number of cleft lips and palates
Daily Times - When Rena Mae Johnson's son was born, she had the feeling that no mother wants to feel. "I thought I did something wrong," said Johnson. Her son had a cleft lip and palate, separate birth defects that affect a child's upper lip or roof of their mouth, or both. The lip or roof of the mouth appeared incomplete because of tissue that never came together during her son's development in the womb. "I was thinking ... This is not right. This is my son," said Johnson. But more than 14 years later, Johnson's son, Landes Harvey, has little more than a scarred lip and a slight speech impediment — a result of years of plastic surgery and speech therapy. "I couldn't really hear him when he used to speak. Now I can," said Johnson. Harvey, now a confident, video-game loving teenager, was just one of about 30 patients that attended the New Mexico Cleft Palate Center clinic in Shiprock on Friday. The clinic, one of many statewide, aims to reduce the number of children suffering the complications of cleft lips and palates in New Mexico, which has the highest number of reported cleft lips and palates reported nationwide.

SFGate.com - They are known for going head-to-head with outlaws like Billy the Kid and chasing fugitives through mountainous terrain once ruled by Apache leader Geronimo. New Mexico sheriffs and their deputies have long served as the only law enforcement agents in some parts of the state's vast territory. Their exploits over the years and have given rise to tales of heroism and Old West myths that are often shadowed with back stories of political corruption and questionable practices. But as deadly Mexican drug cartels move into isolated regions of the state and gangs grow in small cities like Roswell and Farmington, the sheriffs say it's time that their departments shed old romantic images along with nagging allegations of corruption and abuse. They say it is time to modernize crime fighting in New Mexico. In April, sheriffs from New Mexico's 33 counties organized themselves under a new group aimed at offering deputies advanced training and building a lobbying force to help change state laws and help beef up sheriffs' departments. The group, the New Mexico Sheriffs' Association, promises to educate sheriffs on budget matters and develop a pipeline for developing future law enforcement leaders. They also are inviting U.S. Homeland Security Investigations agents to help their small departments in various drug trafficking and political corruption cases. Read More News New Mexico
AP - Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has signaled a preference in the U.S. presidential campaign by comparing Mitt Romney to his own challenger.
Chavez, who is up for re-election a month before U.S. President Barack Obama, has in recent weeks expressed a clear preference for the man currently in the White House.
In a campaign speech Saturday night, Chavez equated the agenda of his challenger, Henrique Capriles, with that of Romney, saying both men represent the callously selfish capitalist elite. Read full story here: News New Mexico
KOAT - Albuquerque Public Schools and the teachers' union say they have a fair way to evaluate educators. A pilot program in APS evaluates teachers based on in-class observation by the principal, allows teachers to set individual goals for their students, relies little on test scores and even polls the students themselves. "I absolutely believe it's better than (the state's evaluation system.) It's better than it in the way that is fairer," APS Chief Academic Officer Linda Sink said. The district said the questions are specific and tailored to the teacher and the subject they teach. Read full story here: News New Mexico
Entrepreneurs Like Steve Jobs Build Prosperity – Not Politicians
Townhall - Commentary by Star Parker Fifteen years ago, in 1997, when Steve Jobs returned as CEO of Apple, the company was worth less than $3 billion dollars, about a half a percent of what it is worth today. Estimates then were that Apple was several months away from bankruptcy.
John Lilly, a former Apple employee, now a silicon valley venture capitalist, blogged memories, after Jobs' death, about a talk that Jobs gave to employees shortly after his return. Apple was losing money, its stock was languishing, there were rumors about the company being acquired, and Jobs was asked about a suggestion that the company should just shut down.
He concluded his response with "If you want to make Apple great again, let's get going. If not, get the hell out." The blogger continues, "I think it's not an overstatement to say that just about everyone in the room loved him at that point, would have followed him off a cliff if that's where he led."
In the following year, according to the account in Walter Isaacson's recent book about Jobs, 3000 employees were laid off and Jobs reviewed Apple's entire product line, pruning it from fifteen products to four. Now Apple is the most valuable company in the world with innovative products no one would have dreamed of in 1997. In September 1997, Apple had 8437 full time employees. Today, according to its website, Apple has 70,000 employees worldwide, of which 47,000 are in the U.S. The company estimates that 514,000 jobs have been created as result of employment at Apple, at companies supported by Apple, and the economy created by Apple products.
Suppose, when Jobs revamped and shrunk Apple's product line, he needed employees to vote in order to get rid of each product? It, of course, would have been impossible. But this is what we have when government goes where it doesn't belong - getting into businesses like providing retirement services, health care, housing, and education. Even if programs work for a while, times inevitably change. Businesses can adjust. Government can't. Changing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, and government housing policy today is about politics, not good economic decisions.
So we're stuck pouring billions we don't have into programs that don't work. Capitalism is not about being "on your own" as we hear so often from liberals. It's about entrepreneurs, like Steve Jobs, being free to create prosperity by serving their fellow citizens with innovative ideas and products. And it's about government doing its proper job – protecting life and property – so this can happen. Read full column here: News New Mexico

Marita Noon
Townhall - Commentary by Marita Noon - New Mexico's best known export, the green chile, is being threatened by the "greens." It is not just the green chile habitat that is in danger, it is also the cultures and customs of generations of New Mexicans—farmers and ranchers. The famous chiles are grown exclusively in Hatch, NM. People come from far and wide to buy bushels of fresh green chiles, have them roasted, and take them home to freeze for use throughout the year. In New Mexico, McDonald's even serves a green chile cheeseburger.
This past week, a vote was cast that could signal the end of a multi-generational battle to save the land.
The original fight started in the 1940s with the first of the modern land grabs. Hundreds of ranch families were evicted from the Tularosa Basin—an area that had been home to the Butterfield Trail and many Hollywood Westerns including the John Wayne classic Stage Coach. The families got there first and were "notoriously hard to uproot." In the name of national defense, the seized land became Fort Bliss, McGregor Range, White Sands Missile Range, Holloman Air Force Base, San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, the Jornada Range, and the New Mexico State University Ranch. All of this adds up to 4.7 million acres that are generally off limits to the very people who pay the bills—the taxpayer.
In 1948, another wave of evictions impacted an additional 40 families. Again, they tried to halt the federal onslaught. At a public meeting, the feds reminded folks that this was for the "public good. The ranchers had to go." Unprepared for the scope of the battle, these hard-working people were evicted and Washington took their land. Read full column here: News New Mexico

Lawyers Fight for Spots at Public Trough, Rep's. Egolf and Maestas Start Pushing
Albququerque Journal - As the partisan feuding continues over how much lawyers should get paid for their redistricting work, Democrats contend that Gov. Susana Martinez and other GOP officials spent significantly more on attorneys than they disclosed to a judge.
Lawyers for Democratic legislators say an Inspection of Public Records Act request turned up $162,730 that was paid to a Washington, D.C., law firm but has not been reported to retired state District Judge James Hall.
Hall, who presided over trials to draw new boundaries for legislative, U.S. House and Public Regulation Commission districts, is in the process of deciding how much the lawyers for six groups of plaintiffs – Democrats, Republicans and Indian tribes – should be paid. Their billings total more than $3 million.
Martinez, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez and Secretary of State Dianna Duran are trying to persuade the judge to award the lawyers for Democrats and a group of tribes less than they're asking for, calling their requests "excessive" and "shocking."
Lawyers for Democratic Reps. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe and Antonio "Moe" Maestas of Albuquerque asked Hall last week to be allowed to file a supplemental brief. Read full story here (subscription required) News New Mexico
Fishing and Hunting License Fees Pay Bills, Environmentalists Want to Divert Game and Fish Funds to Endangered Species
Fly fisherman nets a brown trout on San Juan River
KRQE - Environmentalists are concerned that reorganizing the New Mexico Game and Fish Department could spell trouble for the state's nongame animals and programs aimed at conserving threatened and endangered species.
Not so, the agency says. A lightning rod for controversy, the department is again sitting at the center of a longstanding debate over its mission and how it balances conservation and the interests of hunters and anglers whose license fees pay for much of the department's work.

Trinidad Times - La Mesa Racetrack and Casino developer Michael Moldenhauer has decided not to ask the New Mexico Supreme Court to hear his appeal — rejected last month by the Court of Appeals — of the state Gaming Control Board's decision to revoke La Mesa's gaming license.
The deadline for La Mesa to ask the Supreme Court to hear the case passed last week without La Mesa filing a request.
Although Moldenhauer has decided against taking this appeal to the high court, he said in an e-mailed statement Monday, "we have not stopped our fight for Raton." He said he is "hopeful of a positive outcome" in a separate appeal involving the racing license that was originally awarded to Moldenhauer in 2008, but was declared by the state Racing Commission to have expired at the end of 2010.
"If we are successful, we will then return to the Gaming Control Board and reapply for a new permit," Moldenhauer said in the statement. "Therefore, it does not make sense to appeal this decision now while the Racing Commission appeal is still being considered. The Racing Commission appeal is our best way to return racing to Raton."
Supreme Court officials indicated La Mesa could still make a request for the justices to consider the gaming-license appeal if the request is accompanied by a motion that would essentially ask that the deadline be waived. The court would then decide on whether to accept the motion and then whether to hear the case.
But Moldenhauer indicated going to the Supreme Court is not the best decision for La Mesa right now. "The matter that is relevant to the Racetrack in Raton is to maintain the rights to the last racetrack," he said in his statement, reinforcing his belief that focusing on the racing-license appeal is key.
If it had chosen to, La Mesa had 30 days — from the time of the filing of the Court of Appeals decision that denied La Mesa's appeal — to file a request that the Supreme Court hear the gaming-license case. The Court of Appeals decision was filed June 12.
The Court of Appeals found the gaming board acted properly in declaring as void Moldenhauer's gaming license for his proposed racino in south Raton. Read full story here: News New Mexico
Yahoo News - The ranks of America's poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net. Census figures for 2011 will be released this fall in the critical weeks ahead of the November elections. The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent. Several predicted a more modest gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point increase would put poverty at the highest level since 1965. Read full story here: News New Mexico


The Federal Communications Commission recently accepted some technical proposals related to using the free white spectrum between broadcasting TV channels. This acceptance will increase the usable bandwidth especially for short range wireless data transmission standards such as Wi-Fi resulting in a much higher bandwidth at reduced cost.
Microsoft announced the release of XBOX 360 Slim gaming console along with Kinnect (formally Project Natal) at their 2010 E3 keynote. The new XBOX 360 slim brings performance enhancements as well as added features to the already popular console.
Microsoft Australia brings a exciting video in which they tempt the students of University of Technology Sydney to steal the software on the street. We cannot say if someone is picking it with the intention of theft or they want to give it to Lost Property.
Microsoft has finally recognized the value of working with others and announced that the Windows Phone 7 will be an open source operating system. The announcement came today at Redmond that developers will be able to create their own programs once WP7 gets released in late October.
Apple has put an end to all the rumors and leaks by concealing all its ocean shipments from public.

Polygamy in America
By Lisa Ling
Richard met his first wife, Julena, in high school. Next came Tina, Julena's sister. And finally Rebecca, Richard's co-worker joined the family as the third wife. Now, the three women seem to be inseparable. Although they all love the same man, Julena says this doesn't cause any conflict between them. "We're fulfilled with other things," Julena says. "We're fulfilled with friendship." They have become so close that if anything were to ever happen to Richard, Julena says that her decision to find a new husband would include Tina and Rebecca as well. "We'd probably stay together," Julena says.
Rebecca says she thinks the three wives get spoiled more than Richard does. "There are times in our lives where we're caring about each other so much, sometimes he gets forgotten. Sometimes he has to fend for himself," she says.
Julena says there was no force involved in her plural marriage. "It's our choice. We wanted to," she says. And if it came to the point where they were unhappy and no longer wanted to be in a plural marriage, Julena says, "We would leave"simple as that.
