With Saturn Sagittarius, one trend I've observed is the ordeal to establish what's true. And (in 2016), it's interesting to note the decline of mainstream media, which many see as having lost their way.
On the other hand, there's a rise in alternative media, and the search for voices that have integrity.
Sagittarius rules journalism, along with higher education and philosophy. With Saturn there, I've noticed a rigidity of ideologies, to the point of entrenchment. An example is when there's no longer a foundation of objective truth, leading to the rise of solipsism, the idea that only one's own "truth" can be known.
There's also the danger of rigid blinders-on perspectives, as I wrote about in Saturn Sagittarius: Fear of Knowledge. Saturn Sagittarius has exposed the stifling climate that results when there is an unspoken agreement on values -- or assumptions -- that you sense you can't deviate from.
I recently heard someone saying that awareness is a key to survival, for any people. And that it's an ordeal these days to be someone who connects dots, which is the gift of mastery-level Sagittarius.
But this kind of wisdom is urgently needed, and it's a navigational tool, to make it through the confusion of our times. You can fortify yourself when you develop the ability to cut through deception, and to adapt to your ever-expanding knowlege.
The wisdom that comes from truth seeking is a stable foundation to build on, even as it expands with new knowlege.
True Aims
Saturn brings its mighty organizing ultimatum to fire sign Sagittarius starting December 20th, 2014. In the broadest terms, this is a transit to get serious about far-reaching plans.
Saturn, when transiting, shows us where we're out of synch with these long range visions. It may seem an awkward task for Saturn to be seeking to control and restructure the freedom-seeking mutable fire sign (Sagittarius).
But here we have a chance to get Saturnian with our Jupiterian highest aspirations, and set out on the path of achievable goals. A big theme is restructuring life around true aims, whatever that takes. And sometimes, it means a massively agonizing overhaul -- that's where Saturn's rep for being a baddie comes in. Saturn might say it's all for your own good, and in the end, we can eventually look back and see that too!
Here are the dates into 2017:
Saturn into Sagittarius December 20th, 2014 to June 14th 2015
Saturn back into Scorpio June 14th to September 18th, 2015
Saturn into Sagittarius September 18th to December 19th, 2017
Saturn's Reach
So when will Sagittarians and those with Sagittarius planets (especially Saturn) start to feel in the zone? Astrologer Demetra George tells her students that the effects are in play, when a planet enters the Zodiac sign.
In her book, Astrology and the Authentic Self, she writes, "On the most general level, as soon as a transiting planet enters a sign, the entire sign is stimulated by its presence, and every planet occupying any degree of that sign becomes charged, because the sign itself is charged."
With this in mind, if you're a Sagittarius Sun or about to experience your Saturn (in Sagittarius) return, the fun begins in December, 2014. Follow Saturn's degrees as it moves across Sagittarius, if you're expecting angles to your planets.
The fire signs (and planets in fire signs) get a bolstering from Saturn. Along with it, comes an inspired urge to stabilize a dream, with the support of a higher calling or vision. The big vitality of fire signs finds its way to concrete expressions.
And something that lasts is created by keeping eyes on the prize -- goals that marry personal desires with the aim of making the world brighter, wiser and more enlightened in some way.
When Saturn is blazing through your natal Sagittarius House (or Houses), that's where you put in extra effort. It's time to tend to foundations or lay the groundwork, in that astrological House.
Saturn also has a way of closing (sometimes slamming) doors. If Saturn transits your Seventh House, for example, you could see significant people exit your life. But it goes both ways, and Saturn there also brings people your way that will be meaningful and possibly long-term, like a marriage or enduring friendship. Find your Sagittarius house and planets in your birth chart.
Is it time to get some kind of credentials? This transit could lead to formalizing study in some way.
And yet, the very way we set out to gain knowledge could be up for restructuring. Some might find more stability through independent study, where the driving impulse is to follow a thread of inspiration or intellectual curiosity.
We'll continue to see the rise of the independent researcher, freed from the limiting end result of compartmentalizing knowledge. There could be exciting new interdisciplinary fields that widen the view of the world.
Handling the Truth
The quest for knowledge as a stabilizing force finds its way into media, too, with Saturn into Sagittarius. The shift away from sponsored-media with set agendas is freeing and expansive.
What's already begun could be stabilized, and create more solid opportunities in the area of independent journalism. Sagittarius by way of Jupiter, rules the public discourse. And we could see a restoration of integrity with media, as individuals and networks set standards of loyalty to truth (a Jupiterian aim).
There can also be with Saturn, a pull to face fears that keep something fearful under control. So with Saturn in the sign of the truth seeker, we can invite overcoming fear, when it keeps us from looking and connecting the dots.
Saturn gives us the backbone to tolerate that state of being in-between, when one world view is being challenged by what's discovered. By being able to let go of outdated perceptions, we find a new stability. And we gain confidence in our ability to make these kinds of adjustments, in the future, as more is learned, and the picture ever deepens and widens.
Beams Through the Fog
Take note that Saturn (Sagittarius) will be squaring Neptune (in Pisces) at different times through the year 2015. One outcome here is big compassion for the many ways to make sense of life and our world.
There could also be a freeing of the spirit by dissolving beliefs that keep us in narrow fields of perception.
This is a general look-see -- stay tuned as Saturn progresses through Sagittarius, for special topics that relate to this transit.

U.S. Special Envoy Peter Pham along with U.S. Ambassador Stephanie Sullivan greeting President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Ghana President's second inauguration in Accra.
United States Department of State (Washington, DC)
Moderator: Good afternoon to everyone from the U.S. Department of State's Africa Regional Media Hub. I would like to welcome our participants from across the continent and thank all of you for participating in this discussion.
Today, we are very pleased to be joined by Ambassador J. Peter Pham, U.S. Special Envoy for the Sahel. We will begin today's call with brief opening remarks from Ambassador Pham about the recent peaceful elections in the Sahel region, then we will turn to your questions. We will try to get to as many of them as we can during the time that we have.
At any time during the briefing if you would like to ask a question live, please indicate that by clicking on the "raise hand" button and then typing your name, media outlet, and location into the "questions and answers" tab. Alternatively, you can type your full question directly into the Q&A for me to read to our speaker. Again, please include your name, media outlet, and location when you do so.
For those participating on our French-speaking line, you may type your question in French in the Q&A box as well. If you would like to join the conversation on Twitter, please use the hashtag #AFHubPress and follow us on twitter @AfricaMediaHub.
As a reminder, today's briefing is on the record, and with that, I will turn it over to Ambassador Pham for his opening remarks.
Ambassador Pham: Thank you very much, Marissa, and thank you to everyone for joining us today, and Happy New Year.
I appreciate the chance to discuss U.S. engagement in the Sahel with you. As many of you may know, the Secretary of State's creation of my position as Special Envoy for the Sahel Region last year reflects the U.S. Government's commitment to the Sahel region and its neighbors. I work to advance our goal for the region, which is that West African governments and African institutions address the drivers of insecurity, contain the spread of violence, and stabilize the region with the help of better coordinated international and U.S. interagency support.
While much attention is, rightfully, focused on the security situation in the region, today I want to highlight a few of the democratic bright spots. I just returned to Washington from a trip to the December 28th inauguration of Burkina Faso's President Kaboré. I was honored to attend the inauguration ceremony as President Trump's representative, and I congratulated the people of Burkina Faso on the peaceful conduct of their November 22nd presidential and legislative elections, and President Kaboré on his re-election.
The reason I traveled to Ouagadougou to signal the United States' strong partnership with Burkina Faso, especially as the country faces external threats to security and stability, and as we support their efforts to counter the scourge of terrorism – but we do so recognizing that the only sustainable way to combat violent extremism is to address some of the factors which facilitate its spread, notably the lack of development and economic opportunity. That's why, in addition to everything we do on the security sector, we continue to invest heavily in Burkina Faso's development, as exemplified by the nearly half-billion dollars of the Millennium Challenge Compact signed last year.
In all my meetings in Ouagadougou, I shared our continued support for Burkina Faso's efforts toward enhanced state capacity; good governance – President Kaboré's very public asset disclosure is a very positive development; and free and fair and peaceful elections as well as our humanitarian support and investment in that country's development. I also noted Burkina Faso's proud tradition of ethnic and religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence, and I urged those I met with to continue that tradition, especially as military operations and terrorism strain the social fabric. Ideally, this election strengthens the link between the government and the citizenry, and presages other measures to increase the accountability of government and security services to Burkinabe citizens.
I would like to also say a few words about the recent attacks in Niger. First, on behalf of the American people, I'd like to share our deepest condolences to the victims and their family members, the victims of the attacks in Tchombangou, Zaroumadareye, and Toumour. These cowardly attacks must stop. There is no place in the modern world for violence against innocent people. The United States condemns these terrorist attacks and all others like them in the strongest way. We stay committed to Niger's armed forces and our allies in eradicating these violent extremists and their godless ideology.
But more positively, Niger is another example of a country that's just concluded peaceful elections. We have congratulated the people of Niger who exercised their democratic right to vote in their presidential and legislative elections on December 27th and look forward to observing an equally successful run-off presidential election process on February 21st. These elections hold the promise of Niger's historic first peaceful transition of power from one democratically elected president to another.
The United States is committed to promoting and strengthening democracy and civil society. We are working to help Niger continue to strengthen its democratic processes and protection of the fundamental freedoms of expression and association and the right of peaceful assembly.
The United States is also a strong supporter of Africa's leadership in Mali, efforts that have put Mali on the path of an 18-month civilian-led transition that will culminate in elections and a return to constitutional government.
In addition to traveling to Bamako at the beginning of October to encourage the implementation of the civilian-led transition agreed to with ECOWAS, I went again to the Malian capital in late November to support the African-led Group to Support Mali's Transition, GST-Mali. The GST intends to coordinate and provide guidance on five objectives for Mali's transition: security, governance, renewing the social compact, electoral reform and elections, and the implementation of the Algiers Accord.
In my meetings with Malian transitional government officials and other stakeholders, I have emphasized that the transition government must first and foremost focus on preparing for elections and prepare – protecting their citizens from violence and human rights violations and abuses. At the same time, the United States supports the transitional government's commitment to undertaking priority reforms to address some of the underlying grievances of the Malian people.
If the Malian transitional authorities do not make tangible progress in these areas of reform, political instability may well return. Thus, we continue to work closely with our international and regional partners to ensure momentum towards a return to constitutional order and the longer-term process of building inclusive and effective governance.
Later today, I'll be traveling to Ghana for the inauguration of President Nana Akufo-Addo – again, designated by President Trump to represent the United States. My trip will once again highlight a successful election as well as the U.S. prioritization of African institutions, especially with Ghana's leadership as the current chair of ECOWAS. I intend to underscore U.S. support for West African efforts to prevent the spillover of instability from the Sahel in general and for African efforts to accompany the transition in Mali in particular, noting that Ghana, in its ECOWAS capacity, is the co-chair of the GST-Mali.
The United States Government continues security assistance and governance efforts to prevent and mitigate conflict and the spread of violent extremism in the West African coastal states as well as Nigeria. Democratic and inclusive governance contributes to regional security and can be a bulwark against the spread of violence.
In conclusion, the elections underpinning democratic governance in Burkina Faso, Niger, and Ghana serve as a foundation for building increased state legitimacy and stability in the Sahel and in West Africa.
The heart of the crisis in the Sahel, as I've repeatedly emphasized, is one of state legitimacy – whether or not citizens perceive that their government is legitimate, equitable, able, and willing to meet their needs. This includes ensuring justice and accountability for human rights violations and abuses committed by security forces. Absent Sahelian government actions that demonstrate this commitment, no degree of international engagement is likely to succeed.
In our statements and in messages, the United States has continually called upon governments to do more to prevent human rights abuses and other violations. We have reminded these governments that U.S. security assistance could be at risk if they do not take action on investigations and hold those found responsible to account.
There is significant U.S. investment and collaboration with key African partners and others in the region across security, diplomatic, economic, and development dimensions in the Sahel. The region faces a growing set of political, economic, and security-related challenges, which makes this investment and the successful coordination amongst our numerous partners in the region so vital.
So thank you very much for your attention and I look forward to your questions.
Moderator: Thank you, Ambassador Pham. We will now begin the question and answer portion of today's call. For those asking questions, please indicate if you would like to ask a question and then type in your name, location and affiliation. We ask that you limit yourself to one question related to today's briefing: the recent peaceful elections in the Sahel region.
Our first question will go live to Mr. Nick Turse of the New York Times. Mr. Turse, you may ask your question. Mr. Turse, are you on the line?
Question: I'm here.
Moderator: Okay. You may ask your question.
Question: Thanks for taking the time to talk today, Ambassador Pham. Last year, Simon Compaore, the president of the ruling political party in Burkina Faso, acknowledged to me that the security forces there were carrying out extrajudicial killings, and according to ACLED statistics, Burkinabe security forces kill marginally more civilians than they do militants. I'm interested in your take on all this given longstanding U.S. Government support of those very same security forces, and hope you can explain why the United States continues to support a government and security forces implicated in widespread atrocities.
Ambassador Pham: Well, thank you very much, Nick, for your question. We need to, perhaps, disentangle a few different things. One is, although the United States provides support for the Burkinabe security services, I would emphasize we've looked carefully at this and, to the best of our knowledge and what we've been able to ascertain, none of the forces that received U.S. training or support have been implicated in the human rights abuses that have occurred. Other units undeniably have committed abuses. We are very concerned about those. I've brought that up repeatedly in engagements with Burkinabe authorities, all the way up to the president, including my recent meeting with the president. But the – although we provide support for U.S. – the U.S. provides support for Burkinabe forces, we hold very – our – we take very seriously our obligations under the Leahy law and other legislation, and we've not yet found evidence that the forces we directly trained and assisted.
That doesn't mean that there isn't a problem that we have raised repeatedly. And ultimately, my answer to that is, as I've said to Burkinabe authorities and other partners across the Sahel: human rights abuses are not only intolerable because they're wrong morally and ethically, but they're a strategic blunder of the first order. It's the very thing that alienates citizens from their government. It facilitates violent extremism. So it's utterly counterproductive. It's in their own interest to work against this, and where it occurs, to properly investigate and hold those to account. And as the Secretary of State and others have pointed out, U.S. security assistance to these countries will be conditioned on credible investigations and follow-up.
Question: Can you say what the president responded to you?
Moderator: Wait, just one question, please. All right. We'll go to our – we'll go to our next question, from Mr. Issa Moussa of Niger Times out of Niger. Mr. Moussa, you may ask your question.
Question: Hello, everybody.
Moderator: Yes, we can hear you.
Question: I'm – yes, I'm Issa Moussa from Niger Times. It's not easy that my English will be sharp as you wish it to be, but I will try to express myself. All this support you are taking to African countries, mainly in Burkina Faso and Mali and Niger, there – some people don't have the insight of the communication, because they want to really know that your forces are helping our African countries. We know that the way we just communicate with them is not enough. So you, what do you think of all this support you are taking to African countries and how people are supposed to welcome it?
Ambassador Pham: Okay. Thank you very much for your question. If I understand your question correctly, the United States has been and continues to be the largest single bilateral contributor to the Sahel and the largest partner across the board, in all areas, not just security – I know we've been talking about security, but in health and development assistance, for example. Between 2017 and 2019, the State Department and USAID allocated almost a billion dollars in health and development assistance to the five countries of the G5: Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and Niger. During that same period, we provided about $467 million in security assistance, so almost twice as much in development and health as security assistance.
In the same period, we also provided about $519 million in humanitarian assistance. And last year, because of the pandemic with COVID, the State Department and USAID provided over $53 million in additional funding for emergency health and humanitarian development assistance because of COVID-19.
So we've made a considerable investment in this area, a portion of which is security-related, but the overwhelming amount of which is actually in health, development, and humanitarian assistance.
Moderator: Thank you. Our next question will go to Mr. Dieni Albert Kalambry of Radio Foko in Mali, and his question is: "After your visit to the region, what has the U.S. done in concrete terms in the fight against terrorism in Mali and in the Sahel in general? And if there are no concrete terms, what are the projects that you're – that the U.S. is doing to move in this direction?"
Ambassador Pham: Well, our – fighting terrorism in the region is a key priority, obviously, and to spread – to prevent the spread of terrorism from the Sahel into the neighboring coastal areas. We work against terrorism on a number of levels. We're the largest single bilateral security partner for the countries of the G5 Sahel on a bilateral basis and their militaries. We work very closely with them in providing training, equipment, and other support. We provide intelligence support as well as logistical support for our European allies, especially France and Operation Barkhane. We're proud of that partnership and the French themselves have acknowledged our contribution to that fight.
But I emphasize again that the fight against terrorism is not solely a security issue; it has to include good governance and development, which is why our development assistance, our humanitarian assistance, our health assistance and aid far dwarfs our security sector assistance, even if that is the largest single bilateral contributor in the region. Thank you.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question goes to Mr. Frank Andrews of the Mail & Guardian. Mr. Andrews, you may ask your question. Mr. Andrews, you may ask your question. Okay.
Question: Hi. Thanks very much.
Question: Thank you. So several concerns have been raised regarding U.S. counterterror strategy in the Sahel in recent years, about, for example, the over-militarization of U.S. engagement, the prevalence of coups led by U.S.-trained local soldiers, trainers not having adequate cultural and local awareness. I'd be interested to know, Ambassador Pham, in which areas do you think the U.S. counterterror strategy in the Sahel needs to most improve? And given the rising threat from violent extremist organizations, how should we judge the strategy's effectiveness? Thank you.
Ambassador Pham: Thank you for your question. The creation of my position is part of a larger shift and dedication of resources on the part of the U.S. Government. The creation of the role of Special Envoy was part of a larger framework that was approved at the very end of 2019 by Secretary of State Pompeo. And that framework is a comprehensive framework to guide our approach that the security component is certainly one key component – there's no denying that – but it has to be embedded within a larger process, which is why I would push back a little bit on the emphasis on the idea, if you will, the trope – and I really would call it a trope – that U.S. policy in the area is overly militarized. As the – the numbers speak for themselves. Security assistance for the entire Sahel region, the total dollar value the last couple of years, added up, is less than half of what goes into development and healthcare assistance. It's even less than the amount that goes into humanitarian assistance.
So our strategy already, if dollars speak, is much more weighted in the area of development and governance and healthcare and all those other things which are critical to winning the fight against extremism in the area. So that's our emphasis.
Now, what could use improvement? I think better coordination is always helpful, but more importantly, building up African capabilities, which is why one of the things in the nine months that I've been on this job – slightly more than nine months – the one thing I've emphasized repeatedly is the need to take the long view. It's better to take a longer time and build up African military and civilian/diplomatic capabilities than to expeditiously go and get something done. Because, ultimately, that's the only thing that's sustainable over the long run, which is why we're very supportive of the G5 Sahel, not just the Joint Force, but more importantly, the Executive Secretariat and the building up of that civilian infrastructure across the region and encourage that.
Moderator: Thank you. We're going to go to a question sent in to us from Voice of America in South Africa, from Ms. Anita Powell. "What in your view is driving recent outbreaks of violence in Mali, Niger, and the Central African Republic? How do you think those governments responded, and what has or will the U.S. do to assist?"
Ambassador Pham: Well, I think the – I've – the – it's the same answer I've been giving, which is that what's driving – what drives violent extremists, or what it feeds off of, is a sense of state illegitimacy, of lack of connection between citizens and their governments, of exclusion. And so the cure to that is greater inclusion, greater connectivity between citizens and their governments, which is why we're saluting the democratic advances in places like Burkina Faso and Niger with the recent elections, and certainly Ghana, which is now a wonderful example for the region – more than two decades of democratic governance and alternance between political parties, all happening very peacefully.
So, ultimately, that is the only way forward, is social inclusion, state legitimacy, good governance, the hard grunt work of these basic reforms and development, which is why our strategy is heavily predicated on these aspects as opposed to – there is no quick military solution. Violence is a symptom, it's not the malady itself underlying things. And so, ultimately, the only solution is dealing with those underlying root causes and modalities.
Moderator: Okay. We're running low on time. We just have time for one or two more questions. The next question will come from Mr. Bate Felix of Reuters, based in Senegal. Mr. Felix, you may ask your question.
Question: Hi, can you hear me?
Moderator: Yes, we can.
Question: Hi. Thank you, Ambassador. I just wanted to follow up quickly on the question around abuses and extrajudicial killings in the region. And I was just wondering from what you said – you've raised the issue with leaders of the region, particularly in Burkina Faso. And my follow-up question is just to hear what they are giving you as explanation for these extrajudicial killings. How do they explain it and what are they doing? Because it's been going on for a while now, and I don't think we've heard of any prosecutions so far. They've promised investigations and nothing has so far come out of it. And I was just wondering, how do they explain that? What do they explain – how do they explain it to you?
Top Headlines Governance West Africa U.S., Canada and Africa
Ambassador Pham: Well, in a way, Mr. Felix, you've answered your own question. I'm very glad of that. The – my response – the response has been, of course, that they hear our concerns and they promise investigations. And my response to that is: We need to be kept up-to-date. We need to see progress in these investigations, not just investigations announced. We need to see investigations brought to a conclusion, and then those deemed accountable, certainly, brought through a judicial process that's independent and credible. We need to see that happening.
We also are willing to offer technical – specific technical support if they need help with forensic investigations or with legal prosecution, any of those technical capabilities. We're – we and our other partners are prepared to provide them. Of course, we require a specific ask and a concrete ask, not a generality, but certainly in concrete, specific – so that's not an excuse. That can't be an excuse. There is no excuse for not going forward.
I've repeatedly pointed out that as the Secretary of State himself has pointed out and members of Congress have pointed out, that our assistance across the board and especially in the security sector cannot be taken for granted. The American people will not and cannot continue to support security forces that engage in abuses of their citizens, not only because it's wrong but, as I've said before, it's counterproductive.
Moderator: Thank you. Mr. Ambassador, do you have time for one more question?
Ambassador Pham: Sure.
Moderator: Okay. The last question will go to Mr. Fuaad Dodoo of Norvan Reports, out of Ghana. Mr. Fuaad, you may ask your question.
Question: Hello, Mr. Ambassador. Good afternoon.
Ambassador Pham: Good afternoon.
Question: Please, I'd like to know – Ghana just came out – Ghana just came out of a very peaceful and successful election, and the result was announced by the electoral commission, but then the presidential candidate of the main opposition party has rejected the election result, and this has come with some attendant pockets of violence. I'd like to know what the U.S. makes of what is happening currently in Ghana post the election.
Ambassador Pham: Well, several things. One, first of all, we're very gratified that the Ghanaian people largely and peacefully have engaged in a very robust and energetic campaign. That's a model for the region. We regret and condemn all acts of violence and intimidation of citizens, and we call upon those who may have disputes in the – of the election results or specific – to settle their disputes following the legal structures that exist under the Ghanaian constitution and the laws of the Republic of Ghana.
Ghana has a very proud tradition, one which we salute, of razor-thin elections, of closely fought contests, but also of peaceful transitions. I remember, thinking back more than a decade, the elections at the end of 2008, where it came down to one constituency voting that would determine the nation, and that happening just a few days before the transition, and yet it all happened very peacefully, the transition between President Kufuor and the late President John Atta Mills. That – again, very peacefully done and I think it was something really a model for the region. And so that's why I'm going to Ghana later today; it's to herald the success and to reinforce our strong relationship with Ghana both as a bilateral basis and as a regional leader.
Moderator: That is all the time that we have today. Ambassador Pham, do you have any final words?
Ambassador Pham: Yes, just to emphasize once more: Our approach to the Sahel and to the region, if it has any objective, it's to ensure that in the long run the basic issues, the basic challenges of security and governance, are addressed by Africans themselves, African-led solutions, with our support and that of our other international partners. This is going to – this is hard work. It's going to take time. But it's, ultimately, the only thing that's sustainable, and it has to be comprehensive. That's why our approach to the region embraces not just security aspects, but development and humanitarian and other – and other assistance. We have to deal with this holistically, and hopefully the successes that we've seen in Burkina Faso, in Niger, and certainly, the longstanding, commendable record in Ghana – this is the way forward, and we hope to see more of it in the coming months and years. Thank you very much.

Reinvigorating a Century Old Business Model
The Power of Efficient Capital
Larry Kellerman
Larry Kellerman is Managing Partner of TFC Utilities. He has spent over three decades in the electric utility, power generation and independent energy industries, previously as CEO of Quantum Utility Generation, Partner at Goldman Sachs and President of the firm's electric power business, Sr. Managing Director at El Paso Corporation, President of Citizens Power, and General Manager of Power Supply and Wholesale Marketing at Portland General Electric after starting his career at Southern California Edison.
From Pearl Street Station to the solar array deployed on your roof. The common theme and challenge that the electric power industry has faced over the years is how to deploy massive volumes of capital to efficiently supply affordable energy to society.
That remains a challenge that the electric utility industry is quite capable of addressing. And in so doing, both perpetuating the industry's business model and enhancing its ability to serve customers.
By embracing the time-tested regulated construct and adapting it to enhance the relationship with the people we serve, utilities can enter a new era of growth and rejuvenation. We can have a clean, networked, and dynamic ecosystem of energy production, delivery, management and consumption. Customers don't have to wait decades while the grid incrementally evolves to incorporate transformational technologies. Led by customer-driven choices and decisions, we in the utility industry can and should accelerate that transition.
To provide a backdrop for this forward-looking utility model, it helps to look back into the industry's history to gain important insights about how we got here.
Over a century ago, in 1912, a clean, low cost, and domestically generated fuel supplied the pumping, milling, sawing and a host of other industrial and domestic needs for much of North America. It was the wind blowing across our country's vast heartland.

Enroll below or call (509) 481-1533. Enrolling for May or June.
Get ahead of the game and enjoy all that our studio has to offer. This combo package offers an incredible value and makes a wonderful gift for any dance junkie! Choose from a wide variety of classes, plus VIB only benefits like a monthly private lesson, priority enrollment, free access to our online classes and more.
Learn this edgy blend of traditional bellydance movement vocabulary and modern influences. With an east-meets-west and post-modern aesthetic, tribal fusion opens the door to a portrayal of darker moods and avant-garde expression. Tribal fusion style is defined by both slinky, sinewy movements and sharp staccato locks, fusing traditional bellydance with inspiration from hip hop and other dances.
This is a fat-blasting, fun and feminine class designed to get your heart rate up!
Add excitement and dynamic to your performance! This class is designed to get both novice and experienced zill players playing correctly, diversely, and while dancing! Zills, or sagat, are small cymbals played on the thumb and middle finger. They can be played by a musician in the band, but more frequently are played by the dancer, especially in Turkish and American Cabaret styles.
Gain the flexibility to perform advanced bellydance vocabulary such as backbends, floorwork, splits, arabesque, Turkish arabesque, battements, and more! Learn safe, activated stretches that are more effective than static stretches, and methods that work with opposing muscles to increase range of motion in both directions.
This class builds on level one concepts, adding more advanced movement voabulary, combinations and choreography, layering movements together, traveling steps and turns, musicality and zill playing, as well as more work with props such as veils and swords.
Brush up on the basics, or jump start your dance training with this specially designed workshop.
This class covers the basic material in Nefabit's Level One Curriculum. This is a high-intensity class designed to introduce to you to proper mechanics and technique or to supplement weekly classes and at home practice.
Join students and company members for an informal party! We will enjoy some performance DVDs, mini tutorials, costume show and tell, and general dance related relaxation. Bring a snack, a costume project, a solo work in progress, or just your lovely self and have some fun with us!
Learn a full routine to show off your moves! This special two-hour class will break down Nefabit's level one choreography "Zeina." Have fun, exercise, and gain confidence through dance.
Notes, edited music, and choreography release included!
I like to think there is not such thing as someone who "can't dance". Anyone can learn with the proper tools!
There are no height or weight requirements in bellydance – quite the opposite! Bellydance is open to all body types and encourages body acceptance and diversity. Our students range from 14 to 60+ and all kinds of heights and weights.
I encourage you to try it, and do something for you! You are most welcome to drop in on a class for 12.00! Just call or text our phone (481-1533) to let us know which day you would like to come!
Hi! I'm excited for your Spring classes to start! My sister (Susan) has already signed up for the Mon. 6 pm Tribal classes and messaged that she will not be able to attend the first class. I am also unable to attend the first class.
Thanks and looking forward to dancing!
Great! Thank you so much, we look forward to seeing you both in the second week!

A multi-faceted education
When applying for scholarships after receiving her A-level results last year, Miss Cheri Tng Jing Ying zeroed in immediately on a National University of Singapore (NUS) scholarship.
"It was the first scholarship I applied for as it was the one I was the most interested in," says the Temasek Junior College alumnus.
The NUS scholarships first came to her attention when she chanced upon a survey placing NUS at the top of a list of preferred scholarship providers.
"That sparked my interest and motivated me to find out more about the scholarships offered by NUS," she says.
NUS offered her its Global Merit Scholarship and she also received a scholarship offer from another institution. She picked NUS.
Free to explore
Miss Tng says: "University is a period in my life when I want to make the most out of my learning experience, to step out of my comfort zone, travel and attain new perspectives. I wanted a scholarship that fitted my personality, interests and that would support my endeavours along with my desire to learn and grow as an individual."
She adds: "A significant reason why the NUS scholarship fitted the bill is because it is bond-free, thus giving me the capacity to explore various options, take part in different internships and discover more in the process."
She went through a two-stage selection process to secure the NUS scholarship. First, she took a general knowledge test, a case study and participated in a board room discussion to determine if she made the cut for the NUS Merit Scholarship. Then she was shortlisted for the next stage — a panel interview to assess her suitability for the higher-level NUS Global Merit Scholarship.
Both scholarships — Merit and Global Merit — are bond-free, cover tuition fees, and provide an annual living allowance and a one-time computer allowance. Recipients are also eligible for the NUS Scholar Enrichment Grant, which funds 50 per cent of the scholars' participation in short local or overseas enrichment programmes.
The Global Merit Scholarship has additional benefits, like an annual accommodation allowance and a Student Exchange Programme/ NUS Overseas Colleges allowance.
"NUS scholarships offer a plethora of different opportunities for me to explore my interests and to gain exposure, especially with the financial support to take part in these activities. The NUS Global Merit Scholarship, in particular, supports learning on a global scale by funding overseas exchange programmes," says Miss Tng.
Residential programme
Another benefit of her scholarship is the eligibility to enrol in a funded residential programme. The 19-year-old is now staying at Residential College 4 in University Town while studying at the NUS Business School.
The residential colleges at NUS blend student accommodation with an academic programme. "This allowed me to explore modules and learn about new things and concepts beyond business," she says.
She has taken a module on Sport and Competition and another on Population Dynamics at her residential college. "The interesting module about Sport and Competition delves deeply into various issues encompassing the topic — a topic I would have never thought of reading up so much on, yet learn so much from," she says.
Besides time spent on studies, Miss Tng has also been busy with various extra-curricular activities in her first semester at NUS. As a Bizconnect Business Relations Executive with the NUS Business Administration Club, she organised networking dinners. She was also involved in an International Service Programme in Laos, which raised $6,000 to build classrooms and purchase necessities for students of a secondary school there.
They also spent a few days engaging in activities with students of a school for the hearingimpaired.
For this project, Miss Tng did not apply for the Scholar Enrichment Grant that she is eligible for under her scholarship. However, she intends to do so for future overseas programmes.
She aims to make full use of the opportunities available to her to enrich her business education at NUS. "In essence, business is everywhere. In order to connect the dots, I realised the importance of being open to new ideas and observing the world around me more," she says.

Q: How to extract Heading tags in PHP from a string? From a string that contains a lot of HTML, how can I extract all the text from

etc tags into a new variable?
I would like to capture all of the text from these elements and store them in a new variable as comma-delimited values.
Is it possible using preg_match_all()?

A: First you need to clean up the HTML ($html_str in the example) with tidy:
$tidy_config = array(
    "indent"               => true,
    "output-xml"           => true,
    "output-xhtml"         => false,
    "drop-empty-paras"     => false,
    "hide-comments"        => true,
    "numeric-entities"     => true,
    "doctype"              => "omit",
    "char-encoding"        => "utf8",
    "repeated-attributes"  => "keep-last"
);

$xml_str = tidy_repair_string($html_str, $tidy_config);

Then you can load the XML ($xml_str) into a DOMDocument:
$doc = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml_str);

And finally you can use Horia Dragomir's method:
$list = $doc->getElementsByTagName("h1");
for ($i = 0; $i < $list->length; $i++) {
    print($list->item($i)->nodeValue . "
\n");
}

Or you could also use XPath for more complex queries on the DOMDocument (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php)
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$list = $xpath->evaluate("//h1");

A: You're probably better of using an HTML parser. But for really simple scenarios, something like this might do:
if (preg_match_all('/<h\d>([^<]*)<\/h\d>/iU', $str, $matches)) {
    // $matches contains all instances of h1-h6
}

A: I know this is a super old post, however I wanted to mention the best way I was able to collectively grab heading tags.

title
 and
title 2

This method (works as a regex, however PHP acts a bit differently.)
/<\s*h[1-2](?:.*)>(.*)</\s*h/i

use this in your preg_match
|<\s*h[1-2](?:.*)>(.*)</\s*h|Ui

$group[1] will include what ever is in between the heading tag.
 $group[0] is everything
test</h
This will account for spaces, and if someone adds "class/id"

test

the class/id (group) is ignored.
NOTE: When I analyze HTML tags, I always strip out and replace all White space, line breaks, tabs etc.. with a 1 space. This minimizes multi-lines, dotalls... And very large amounts of white space which in some cases can mess with regex formatting.

*

*of course I am only grabbing 1-2 heading tags, change that to 0-9 to grab all.

*If anyone else has a mod to add or a fix to my code, please respond, I'd really like to know.

*On the contrary with Regex being bad with HTML, that is a very open argument. Because if you design your php functions, and regex expressions to perfectly strip away the junk and prepare the html for regex specific expressions, You will be perfectly able to grab what you are looking for. You can make enough regex functions to replace amateur html work.

Here is a link to the test page regex test

A: It is recommended not to use regex for this job and use something SimpleHTMLDOM parser

A: If you actually want to use regular expressions, I think that:
preg_match_all('/<h[0-6]>([^</h[0-6]>*)</h/i', $string, $matches);

should work as long as your header tags are not nested. As others have said, if you're not in control of the HTML, regular expressions are not a great way to do this.

A: please also consider the native DOMDocument php class.
You can use $domdoc->getElementsByTagName('h1') to get your headings.

A: I just want to share my solution:
function get_all_headings( $content ) {
    preg_match_all( '/\<(h[1-6])\>(.*)<\/h[1-6]>/i', $content, $matches );

    $r = array();
    if( !empty( $matches[1] ) && !empty( $matches[2] ) ){
        $tags = $matches[1];
        $titles = $matches[2];
        foreach ($tags as $i => $tag) {
            $r[] = array( 'tag' => $tag, 'title' => $titles[ $i ] );
        }
    }

    return $r;
}

This function will return an empty array if headings were not found or something like this:
array (
    array (
        'tag' => 'h1',
        'title' => 'This is a title',
    ),
    array (
        'tag' => 'h2',
        'title' => 'This is the second title',
    ),
)

A: this is an old questions, since there is no newer answers. i wrote this with php built in dom parser.
$dom -> loadHTML("your html string here..");
$h2s = $dom -> getElementsByTagName('h2');

foreach ( $h2s as $h2 )
{
  echo $h2 -> nodeValue;
}

It's never too early for Christmas music
It's far too early for Christmas music
View Side by Side
Ashley Dawson, Arts Reporter
Once Halloween is over and it's officially November, my Christmas vinyls come out of hiding, begin to spin, and I know I'm not the only one who jumps directly into Christmas music.
The population seems to be split when it comes to the socially acceptable time to listen to Christmas music. Half the population begins the second Halloween ends, while the other half gets offended that people are skipping over or forgetting about Thanksgiving. This is not the case, though.
The time that somebody begins playing a certain genre of music doesn't dictate their preference for holidays at all. Christmas music is considered one of the only music genres played during a certain time of year. Love songs are played year round, not only on Valentine's Day. What some may call scary metal music is not only played during Halloween, but it is also played whenever one feels like listening to it. Christmas music should be treated the same, just like a movie that has Christmas themes; it can be watched and enjoyed at any time of the year.
Yes, some songs are overplayed and mainstream, and retail employees may feel like the music is insufferable when they hear it all day every day at work, but there is such a wide range of Christmas music that isn't typically played over the speakers at stores, and I feel that a change in the Christmas playlist may ease up on the overplayed aspects.
Christmas is not only for buying each other gifts. It's for the feeling of togetherness with family, of giving — and not only giving gifts, but love and hope and joy. If Christmas music is played more often or even just earlier than December, it can emphasize these feelings at all times, instead of only around the Christmas season.
It's far too early for Christmas music
II don't believe Christmas music should start playing until December, because playing it any time before is ruining it for everyone, including yours...

During the reign of King Charles II of England, Lady Isabelle Wilde is one the King's many mistresses. She also leads a double life as Mistress Ruby, a fortune teller and wise woman. When one of Mistress Ruby's clients, Sir Edmund Godfrey, comes to her for advice with knowledge of a plot to kill the King, Isabelle knows she must do something. When Edmund is found dead, Isabelle and her aliases become embroiled in the plot.
A fun, historical mystery with a strong female lead. Though Isabelle is a mistress to the King, she is determined to make her own way in the world, even if that means donning a wig and makeup and reading a palm. She also manages to help many other women with herbs and good advice. I was pleased to learn that the murder of Sir Edmund Godfrey is a real historical mystery. Many of the plot points within the story are true to history, with the exception of Isabelle's involvement. William Bedloe's character is woven in quite interestingly, as a real player in the history, his fictional counterpart completes his role well.
A nice look into the rule of King Charles II and one of the many plots that took place during this time in history.
This book was received for free in return for and honest review.
Mistress of Lies picks up three months of Mistress of Fortune.
Susanna disappears, Isabelle is compelled to find her and solve the case of her brother's murder.


The main aim of the collective research that we present in this pages is to define a new different category of media objects, that we call "transformators" or automatic media manipulators (neologism from trans-forma-actors).
The project here exposed concerns a new item that corresponds to the function and form of a painting on canvas: a protoquadro (from the greek "protos" plus the italian "quadro", painting). A working prototype, NG#, that follows an original and very promising approach to generative compositions has been realized recently.
The line of research that the protoquadro sets forward is the molding of a peculiar artistic technique to deal with contents, languages and sensibility proper of our time.
Moreover the protoquadro has to behave as a transformer.
This is why we have always thought to it as a transient manifestation of activity. If it is in a exhibition (weeks), or in a monumental space (years), yet it must have a determined lifetime. All our protoquadro projects so far deal content-wise with duration and memory. The duration is set by the process of transformation and influences it. The "phenomenic life" is set. As a "memory" of the protoquadro's process there will be the unique piece generated as more "static" or fixed.
As an example if a picture will be printed in a certain time with a still image from the running painting, the picture will be "another product of the transformation" the value of witch will be defined just from the process. For these "mnemonic" items we are thinking about objects that go from the print mechanism (limited editions) to a high dissipative personalized version (one to each viewer for example).
The protoquadro is a way to think to an object. NG# is one of the transformators that may produce these objects. NG#1, the protoquadro that lives in the unlikely canvases exposition is the first example of the application of this technique. The way the transformator is crafted reflecting it's purpose consent to adapt it to any kind of use that is visual, from private to monumental.
A living protoquadro shall be a object defining a space and a occasion of perceptual interation with viewers. Sound is the medium that allows this to happen. The idea of coordinating sounds and visual perception in a unicum is old. Some of the most interesting old applications are fountains.
The world used in defining this field of research is synestesia(1). Coordinate perception of multiple senses together and so coordinate generationpf multiple sensorial patterns conceived as general as possible to be perceived as a unicum.
As a start we want our generative process to generate the soundscape that defines its vision. A protoquadro installation must have the possibility to act as and ambient defining visual-auditive object.
certain sound ( fr. Gk, syn = together + aisthesis = to perceive).

Since our last update on the ongoing project to conserve the Mansion's Reception Suite, Executive Director Tom Johnson and Assistant Director Tim Brosnihan joined up with stone conservator Ivan Myjer to investigate the possible sources of brownstone to rebuild the exterior of the badly deteriorated bay window. Large pieces of high-quality brownstone have been difficult to come by since the last quarry providing stone for restoration work closed in 2012.

Meanwhile, conservators have completed and installed a replica of the damaged decoration in the interior of the bay to dramatic results (see image at right). Concurrently, the room's massive and elegantly carved mirror frame and window cornices are being cleaned, conserved, and will soon be reinstalled. Recent visitors will also notice that the room's mirror sconces and the original gasolier in the Suite's small room have been reinstalled.
Plans are underway for the next phase of the project, entailing the restoration of the Suite's teal-colored silk brocade curtains and gold trimmings. Be sure to visit the Mansion soon to see the dramatic transformation for yourself!

Ryanair sparks backlash after 'classless' 'jab and go' vaccine advert

Ryanair's new advert has come in for criticism. (PA)
A new Ryanair advert urging would-be tourists to "jab and go" for their holiday this year has been criticised as "distasteful and disgusting".
Referencing the coronavirus vaccines, the airline has urged people to book a summer holiday in anticipation of people being allowed to travel with fewer restrictions as they gain protection from COVID-19.
However, it has triggered a backlash from some on Twitter, who branded it "classless" and "disrespectful" to frontline workers.
Ryanair has urged people to embark on a "jab and go" summer holiday.
Ryanair's advert says it has a million seats available from £19.99 under the slogan "vaccines are coming" and "jab and go!".
Bookings can be made up until 3 January and the travel must take place between 1 April and 31 October.
But some Twitter users criticised the messaging.
Ridiculous advert from Ryanair! 'A vaccine is coming so book your holiday!' And 'Jab and go' how distasteful and disrespectful to those currently fighting the virus and the frontline workers! 😡 #RYANAIR
— vicky (@ClementsVicky) December 27, 2020
Just seen the new Ryanair advert. How utterly classless. We all want to go away without worry and PCR tests etc etc but to think people are just going to 'Jab and Go' is deluded.
— Danielle 🇾🇪💛💚 (@daniellejmufc) December 28, 2020
The Metro reported that a Ryanair spokesperson said it was celebrating the arrival of the jabs.
"Vaccine certificates will have no use in intra-EU travelling and will not be a requirement when flying Ryanair," the spokesperson said.
"'Jab and Go' celebrates that vaccines are coming and industries like aviation will see a recovery soon.
"With Ryanair's unbeatable low fares, Europeans can now book the summer getaway they have been dreaming of for 2021!".
Yahoo News UK contacted Ryanair for comment on Monday afternoon.

The advert comes as Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said changes brought about by the pandemic, which have massively damaged tourism industries and airlines, provided opportunities.
He told the Financial Times that his company was in talks with airports in Europe to expand its capacity.
"I have never in my 30 years in the industry seen such a clean-out," he told the FT.
"The real seismic change from COVID will be the growth opportunities across Europe. They are much greater than after the financial crisis or 9/11."
Ryanair previously reported its October traffic was down by 70% to 4.1 million passengers.

American singer Lauv recently released the music video for his new single 'Sad Forever.'
WATCH: Lauv shoots 'Sad Forever' music video in the Philippines
Photo credit: @lauvsongs on Instagram
American pop singer Lauv recently released the official music video for his new song "Sad Forever" which he finished writing while he was on his flight to Manila where he held another successful concert.
The music video was made at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and showed Lauv's raw feelings about his struggles with depression and how he tries to help other people undergoing the same situation.
"I wrote 'Sad Forever' at a time when I was extremely low. I was dealing with depression and OCD but hadn't really recognized or gotten the help I needed. I felt out of control," the singer confessed.
Since then, the "I Like Me Better" singer has been working hard to try to help remove the stigma when it comes to mental health disorders.
"The effects are as real as a broken arm and treatable just like any other medical condition. But most people don't ask for help. Stigma is a problem everywhere and usually the first barrier to moving forward. It's what stopped me in the beginning," he wrote on the official website of the song. (https://sadforever.lauvsongs.com/)
Lauv and his family decided to put up Blue Boy Foundation, "To continue raising awareness around mental health."
All proceeds from his new single will be given to "organizations around the world that are building movements to change stigma."


The GMs Conclave panel discussion at the 36th edition of Express Food & Hospitality Expo, threw light on the opportunities and shortcomings of Goa as a MICE destination.
Followed by the inaugural ceremony, the Goa edition of Express Food & Hospitality Expo conducted the GMs Conclave, discussing trends, drivers and opportunities in the hospitality industry. The panel discussion was titled, `Goa as a MICE market'.
The esteemed panelists included Gaura Apte, GM, Goa Marriott Resort & Spa; Pracilo Dsilva, GM, Resort Rio; Ranju Singh, Complex GM, Novotel Goa Shrem & Novotel Goa Resort and Spa; Shridhar Nair, GM, The Leela Goa; Hasanullah, GM, Lemon Tree Beach Amarante Goa; Cajetan Araujo, GM, W Goa; Rajendran Menon, GM, The Zuri White Sands Goa Resort & Casino; Rajeev Kumar, GM, The Fern Kadamba; Rajesh Malliya, GM, Hyatt Centric Candolim Goa; Victor Soares, Sr GM, Radisson Blu Resort Goa Cavelossim Beach and Gagan Sharma, GM, Lemon Tree Hotel Candolim, Goa.
Apte remarked that they have upped their focus on the MICE market. "At Goa Marriott Resort and Spa we were making 25 per cent from MICE market last year, and have taken efforts to achieve 38-39 per cent of business from the MICE segment this year. It is no more true that MICE is price conscious, " he said.
Another five years down the line weddings and MICE as a segment will account for the majority business segment for the hotel, he remarked.
He further added the result of general elections 2019 will have an impact on the hospitality industry in Goa.
Speaking about the importance of rebranding the hotel Hyatt Centric Candolim Goa, Malliya said that the hotel had earlier a share of only 12-15 per cent of MICE market, but with the rebranding and putting in new facilities for MICE in the hotel, in just three months since the opening of India's second Hyatt Centric branded property, the brand has grown which is predicted to be at around 28 per cent. MICE plays an important role for us.
"Ours being a business hotel, 70 per cent of the business comes from MICE," said Kumar.
Nair spoke on this mentioning that as compared to the global MICE destination, Goa still has a long way to go in which majorly a dedicated international airport, better transport connectivity, and also a large convention centre, have an important role to play. A Public-Private Partnership (PPL) to build a convention centre would go a long way in Goa. The government is cognizant about the shortcoming, but some involvement from the private sector as well is required, he said.
Apte added to his point stating that a sharing airport with defence forces accounts for no peak hour morning flights to Goa which becomes difficult for the hotels to set the check-in and check-out timing for the guests. Hence, a dedicated airport is needed. He also pointed out hat the road connectivity being so expensive and despite the Goa Miles coming in, is it effective enough for the guests? Having one more airport, it will definitely ease out the pressure.
Singh contributed that the power supply is also an important aspect to look at because the Goa market has long durations of load-shedding due to which they have to bear the costs of maintaining a generator runs for 5-6 hours. Hence, power and Road connectivity is critical, which needs to be looked into seriously, appeals Singh.
Soares feels that MICE is all good from the business perspective, but when it comes to the preservation of the age-old charm of Goa, it needs to be maintained.

San Antonio dogs to provide comfort to first responders of El Paso shooting
Methodist Healthcare System deploys three Facility First Responder dogs
SAN ANTONIO – Shortly after Saturday's El Paso shooting, Methodist Healthcare System San Antonio began making calls to deploy some of their finest members to assist in the aftermath.
The dogs have been trained by Service Dogs, and their training goes beyond that of a therapy animal. Their purpose is to provide relief for first responders during situations of stress, trauma and grief.
Three dogs will be deployed: Chanel, Rudy and Lady.
Lee Stanphill, Emergency Medical Services relations manager for Methodist Health Care System and Rudy's handler says he volunteered the moment the news broke.
"I had to get it approved by the administrators at (Methodist Healthcare System) as well as (Del Sol Hospital in) El Paso," Stanphill said.
Chanel's handler, Brandon Miller said, "It's one of those things we hope we never have to go out for, but it's what these dogs are trained for."
The dogs wear a red vest outline in black with the Service Dogs, Inc. logo and a their name badge that helps identify they're trained for crisis management.
"You will actually see them head straight for the person that is displaying the most distress. It's pretty amazing to watch," Stanphill said. "It also lightens (the spirit) for family members, patients (and) first responders."
Once in El Paso, the dogs will report to their sister hospital, Del Sol Medical Center, to carry out their mission to provide comfort and care in the midst of chaos and pain.
Miller says interacting with the dogs gives hospital staff a sense of normalcy in their day. "Our first responders and hospital staff see so much every day. A lot of times, there's never really an opportunity to process that tie the end of their shift," Miller said.
The dogs have a big job to do that in turn will also take a toll on them.
"It's very taxing on them, especially when there's a lot of high emotions involved. They need their chance and opportunity to go home and be a dog and play and de-stress as well," Stanphill said.
The dogs will spend a few days making their rounds at the El Paso hospitals, aiding shooting victims as well as interacting with victims and their loved ones at the family reunification center.
For more information on Service Dogs, Inc. and their role as the only facility of its kind in Texas, visit their website.
