The Great Transition: Andreas De Vries and Salman Ghouri on the Future of Oil
Competent forecasters produce strategic guidance based on probable trends and their effects within a broad range, rather than making bold statements about the future. An omnipresent debate among energy analysts is the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on oil demand as they encroach on the Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV) market.
Predictions here often only consider near-term EV trends while missing a more holistic picture, including the historic curve of technological adoption and a systemic analysis approach that looks beyond an application's initial intended use. Given these divergent approaches, estimates of the number of electric vehicles in the world by 2040 differ by hundreds of millions, with varying scenarios carrying profound implications for resource revenue dependent countries, including Iraq. Looking beyond EVs, there are a growing number of trends that will have a dramatic effect on oil demand, set against the march of changing demographics. In this respect, some have argued EV adoption is only one component of a much bigger picture.
To discuss these developments, Iraq Energy Institute invited Salman Ghouri and Andreas De Vries, who have built their careers in strategic energy forecasting and understanding the political economy of energy, advising senior government officials and private sector decision makers. We have shared their commentary below, under five broad headings:
Adapting to the global energy transition of electric vehicles
We do not foresee oil demand to go away anytime soon, not even if transport electrifies faster than (we) assumed in "Wake up call for oil companies: electric vehicles will deflate oil demand". It is not likely, namely, that the 1 billion or so ICEVs on the road will simply be abandoned once EVs become cheaper to manufacture than ICEVs. We expect that to take probably another decade, after which the existing fleet of ICEVs will continue to be used until the end of their economic life – most likely in the developing world. Transportation-related oil demand therefore definitely has a few more decades to go. We expect it to plateau around 2030 under the impact of the electrification of transport, and to enter a gradual decline thereafter.
Therefore, we do not expect a future such as the one forecasted by Tony Seba, who sees oil demand peaking as early as next year and largely disappearing by 2030. Through our writings, we have tried to bring to the attention of the Oil & Gas Industry that a new market dynamic is likely to develop as a consequence of the electrification of transport. The global EV market has been growing at some 60% over recent years, even faster than what we assumed in the High Case in our Alternative Energy Outlook which forecasted EVs to eat up over 40 million barrels of daily oil demand by 2040. A plateauing of oil demand is therefore likely to happen over the coming years, while at the same time new production technologies (i.e. shale) are unlocking (i.e. making economically recoverable) massive new reserves. This will show in the price of oil, of course, and that is really at the heart of what we have been saying: the "lower for longer thesis" is the most likely outlook for oil, pretty much irrespective of whether EV adoption will surprise or disappoint over coming years.
The good news for the oil revenue-dependent countries is, therefore, that most of their oil will most likely be monetized – especially the oil of the oil-rich countries of Arabia which, because of their low production cost, will most likely be amongst "the last barrels ever produced" as Amien Nasser of Saudi Aramco recently said. But oil revenue-dependent countries do have to expect a much lower price for their oil, even lower than today. And we see no "oil strategy" that can avoid this.
Oil demand from petrochemicals might grow as some argue, but we remain sceptical of the IEA view that it will more than absorb the impact the electrification of transport. We also expect the global Sustainability trend to start impacting plastic demand over the coming years.
Our view is documented in "How To Mitigate The Risk Of Peak Oil Demand." We believe the optimal risk mitigation strategy is the development of an economy that can stand on its own two feet, without oil. This is really a mindset change in the oil revenue-dependent countries. The national oil companies should be left to focus on optimizing the monetary value of the oil resources. But separate from the oil company, initiatives should be launched to facilitate and incentivize entrepreneurship – and the best incentive is to create a level playing field in the economy that rewards effort and discourages rent-seeking behaviour.
Aspects missing from the great debate on EVs and ICEVs
We wanted to highlight that the Oil & Gas Industry's view regarding the electrification of transport has clearly changed since we wrote our articles on the subject early 2016, such as "The Second Automotive Revolution: Implications for the Oil Industry" and the earlier mentioned "Wake up call for oil companies: electric vehicles will deflate oil demand." Back then, most in the industry considered our point-of-view, that a trend towards the electrification of transport was developing, and is likely to have far-reaching implications for oil demand in the medium term, as either "unlikely" or even "unrealistic". The fact that today we are writing this article is an indication that things are now very different. The electrification of transport is now generally considered as one of the main strategic risks facing the Oil & Gas Industry. Different people still have different views about what will happen exactly, and when it will happen, but everyone is now looking at the subject and thinking about it.
Some, in particular, the European IOCs, are even strategically preparing for it, a witness, for example, the investments made in battery technology and electric charging stations by Shell, Total and BP.
As for the missing aspects of the debate, it seems as though the Oil & Gas Industry is split between two main opinions. As mentioned, the European IOCs have publicly acknowledged that the electrification of transport is underway and will eventually have an impact, as EV uptake slowly but steadily progresses. The US IOCs, on the other hand, seem to have settled on the view that because EV penetration is so low today, a steady continuation of current EV uptake growth will not have a meaningful impact on oil demand at least until 2040.
In our view, both opinions (1) do not properly factor in the typical development curve of technological innovation, and (2) do not properly factor in other new trends that have the potential to accelerate the electrification of transport.
Regarding our first point, when discussing the electrification of transport (or the impact of any trend for that matter), most people assume a linear change. However, technological progress is usually not linear. It typically follows an S-curve where early improvements are difficult and take time, but after a certain point, the rate of improvement increases exponentially, only to flatten again once the limits according to the laws of nature threaten to be reached.
In our view, therefore, the real take-off of the electrification of transport is still to take place. While there are various studies that have concluded EVs are cheaper than ICEVs on a lifecycle-basis, we are still only at the (late) beginning of EV technological innovation. Therefore, if EV technological innovation continues the path typical for innovation, during the 2020s we will see a major acceleration in the improvement of EVs and they will become not only cheaper to operate than ICEVs but also substantially cheaper to manufacture.
If this is indeed achieved, as most battery technology experts (and we) expect by around 2025, EV adoption will no longer grow linear but exponential. ICEV sales could then plummet as most people do not have an emotional connection to their drive train – they want a vehicle that transports them in a safe, reliable, comfortable manner, as cheaply as possible. So, if the cheapest answer to this demand is EV, then why would people continue to buy ICEVs?
In other words, we believe the current debate about the electrification of transport is to a large extent based on an incorrect expectation regarding the development of technological innovation, as a consequence most forecasts of EV uptake underestimate what will most likely happen.
Regarding our second point, most trend analyses have something of a ceteris paribus (all other things equal) assumption built in them. This is understandable since it is very difficult to forecast the impact that different trends affecting each other will have. Unfortunately, this is also very wrong, especially in the case of the electrification of transport.
There is a massive change underway in what people commonly refer to as "mobility", with the electrification of transport being just one of them. One other important trend is a move towards "mobility as a service", as younger people are not as eager to own a car and see services such as UBER, LYFT, CAREEM and GRAB as much more fitting for their preferred lifestyle. Another important trend is the autonomation of transport vehicles. If reviewed independently these two trends appear irrelevant for oil demand. Whether one drives with his own car or uses a transport service, the miles driven stay the same, right? And whether a human is driving, or a computer is, the miles driven stay the same, right? Combined, however, these trends have far-reaching implications for oil demand.
If the future is about transportation as a service, and the service is provided by autonomous vehicles, then electrification will be accelerated due to what could be called "constructive interference". Autonomous taxis must be on the road as much as possible to make their economics work. Since EV reliability and durability is much higher than that of ICEVs, this means electric autonomous taxis will be the default option because their utilization will always be higher than that of ICEVs (since these require more frequent and more elaborate maintenance) and their cost of operation will be lower than that of ICEVs (since these require more frequent and elaborate maintenance).
As the technology advances it will also have implications for trucking and buses, which can of course also run on electricity. The UK, for example, is to get self-driving buses and taxis by 2021.
So, in summary, we see the debate about the electrification of transportation in the industry as underestimating technological innovation, as well as ignoring the impact of the different current mobility trends coming together. Consequently, even the most optimistic opinion that can be heard in the industry, that of Shell, we think still underestimates what will really be happening once innovation in battery technology allows for EVs to be manufactured at a cost lower than that of ICEVs.
As a side note, a new report by McKinsey is the latest to forecast a plummeting of battery costs. The consulting firm's 2019 Global Energy Perspective foresees a two-thirds drop in the cost of EV battery packs by 2030. The tipping point at which EVs will be cheaper to own than internal combustion engine-powered vehicles is forecast to be reached in the early 2020s.
The challenge of meeting electricity demand in emerging economies and the risk of an "EV gap."
It is not uncommon for technological innovations to be adopted by developed economies first, and by developing economies only later. However, it is important to point out that this is not always the case. The telephone is a good example: the least developed economies did not follow the example of the developed economies which first built a comprehensive network for fixed-line phones (from the 1920s through to the 1960s approximately), and only thereafter a comprehensive network for mobile phones. Once mobile phones became available, they just skipped the fixed line phones and went straight from "no phone" to "mobile phone". In fact, it is in electricity generation that we can imagine something similar occurring, with the poorest regions of the world skipping the phase of developing macro-networks around large scale fossil fuel power plants, to directly going to micro- and meso-networks based on renewable energy since this is much cheaper to build.
Will this be able to meet the electricity demand of electric vehicles? Probably not if it is the Tesla 3 we are thinking about. But could this suffice for the energy needs of electric transportation system specifically designed for the developing world? Possibly.
We believe it is not impossible that transport in the developing world will electrify using different, customized transportation solutions.
Right now, the developing world, in particular Africa, imports the cars discarded by the developed world. If the developed world begins to discard ICEVs because EVs have become cheaper to manufacture and operate, will this again happen? Will this lead to a flooding of the developing world with ICEVs from the developed markets, thus lower car prices in the developing world, and consequently shift oil demand from the developed world to the developing world? It is possible.
It is also possible, however, that some smart entrepreneur will see an opportunity to electrify transport in the developing world based on renewables centered micro-grids, using transportation solution customized for the needs of the developing world: smaller, less luxurious, less range, and consequently with a much smaller battery and electricity need.
It is difficult to predict the future, but we do not rule out the latter possibility, especially as urban pollution in the major cities of the developing world is becoming a major issue attracting government attention.
EV adoption and the erosion of demand: A welcome disruption of price volatility as the world faces a future oil supply crunch?
The oil industry in general, including the oil revenue-dependent countries, doesn't mind the volatility caused by regular booms, it dislikes the volatility caused by regular busts. If given the choice between an on average lower price with less volatility, or a higher average price with more volatility, we think most will choose the latter.
Besides that, we are less concerned about a supply crunch developing over the coming years. At the height of the 2015 – 2017 low price environment, many forecasted that a crunch would follow around 2020. We are now in 2019 and the IEA recently announced that because US Shale has continued to surprise, and the expected mature field decline never really materialized, while companies have become smarter in how they do business, from exploration to development to production, we are now facing a supply glut.
In our forecasts, we tend to be optimistic (compared to our peers) about technological innovation. For this reason, we are less concerned about supply crunches during the 2020s.
Embracing disruptive technology
Fundamentally, the intent of our writing since 2015 is to bring to the attention of the oil industry, particularly the oil revenue-dependent countries, that things are changing and changing quite fast. We shared our views about what is likely to happen, to enable such countries to make an informed decision about whether they want to react, and strategize accordingly, or not. In order to formulate a new strategy, one thing is to realize and understand the changing dynamics, another is realizing and understand one's own strengths. Only then can one truly strategize.
Of course, this means the strategy for one country may not fit another country. So, one cannot really talk about "the strategy" for oil revenue dependent countries in light of the electrification of transport and renewables. But there are some opportunities that could be considered.
Renewables are a business opportunity the world over, as in numerous environments their levelized-cost-of-operation is lower than that of fossil fuel-based energy. Conceptually, therefore, by enabling lower domestic use of fossil fuels, renewables could help the oil revenue-dependent countries of the Gulf make more oil and gas available for exports (or lower the investments necessary to maintain a certain level of exports).
With the amount of sunlight available in the oil revenue-dependent countries of the Gulf, one would think there is a great opportunity for solar, to reduce the amount of crude and gas burning that takes place in power generation at present. We are aware there are also challenges with solar in the region, primarily sand dust covering the solar panels leading to reduced efficiency. Of course, the company that can resolve this challenge will have opened for itself a tremendous business opportunity.
Another opportunity is for the oil revenue-dependent countries of the Gulf to look at refrigeration technology. Air-conditioning is a major source of electricity demand in the region, and the technology behind it is ripe for disruption. So again, the company that can resolve this challenge will have opened for itself a tremendous business opportunity.
What we've seen is that in the oil revenue-dependent countries of the Gulf the task of exploring such opportunities is often given to the National Oil Company, as they are considered the best equipped and experienced to undertake such complex projects. But of course, oil companies are first and foremost oil companies, and experience the world over shows that companies tend not to disrupt themselves.
Therefore, to make real progress in the area of renewables and other technologies that have the potential of reducing energy usage and the cost associated with it, really require establishment/entry of new organizations more focused on these subjects. And this brings us back to what we discussed in answer to your first question because this could be one of those areas where a state initiative to incentivize and facilitate entrepreneurship could be significantly impactful.

Nobody says "quash" anymore. A verb meaning "to suppress or extinguish", it's been all but stricken from usage. It's been replaced by "squash", which sounds more like what "quash" means.
The word "accountability" is pretty well squashed, too.
Once upon a time, those claiming accountability had actions tied to their words. Something went wrong, somebody stood up, and something got done. It wasn't always fair, often with some scapegoat sacrificed to protect the higher echelon. But heads most certainly rolled.
Not anymore. Now all you need to be deemed accountable is to say, "I'm accountable." No penalties, no punishments, no nothing. Say the buck stops at your desk, and we'll take you at your word and be on our merry way.
On Friday, the Boston Herald's John Tomase fessed up, admitting his negligent and damaging account of an alleged Super Bowl walk-through tape was skimpy on facts and bereft of journalistic process.
He told us yes, he indeed was accountable, yet he's not being held to account. He gets to keep his job, keep his Pats beat, and it's like it never happened. Worse, whichever editors green-lighted the article remain hidden behind Tomase's skirt – he's their Pats patsy – and they presumably keep their jobs as well. They get to say, "Oops, our bad," and that's the end of it.
If only it were so easy for the Patriots. They violated a league rule, were investigated, and were punished heavily. So what do they do? They cooperate with the investigation, turn in their tapes and materials, apologize to the team, coaches and fans, and later apologize to the rest of the league. They give an explanation for the practice (an explanation that's remained consistent to this day), and admit they were wrong.
In return for their cooperation, admission, explanation and apologies, every team achievement is declared tainted, and they're presumed guilty of any charge speculated in print or on the air, from now 'til the end of Bill Belichick's tenure.
Now Belichick didn't comply with what the media really wanted: full explanation to each and every Spygate question, contrition for the way he treated them in the past, and a promise to respond to each text message from here on out. But then Tomase didn't answer our questions either: not revealing his sources, which editors were involved, and the real reason anonymous third-party hearsay was decreed fit for public consumption. Somehow, he gets a pass.
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, when finally questioned on his Comcast ties and the huge conflict of interest they cast over his Spygate crusade, responded, "I've been at this line of work for a long time and no one has ever questioned my integrity." No reporter thought to follow up with, "Wait a minute; Yes we have."
So Specter and Tomase get to say "that's that" and apparently, that's that. There's no that's that for the Pats.
Tomase's explanation at times revealed the personal angst involved with running such a story. But it was a baser emotion that ruled that day: they didn't want to get scooped, so they ran it.
It was a story that the editors simply had to know wasn't vetted properly: anonymous sources describing the action of other anonymous sources, no physical proof of the tape, nor any description of where the tape went, or how it got there. They ignored their duties even more aggressively than Tomase ignored his. So where are their public explanations? Where's their accountability?
In the end, Tomase appeals for forgiveness, speaking naively of mending relationships, regaining trust and moving forward. Like Shylock pleading for his life in the "Merchant of Venice", Tomase is hoping everyone forgets the pound of flesh he tried to extract.
Already, the wagons are circling. Some suggest his explanation is more noble than Belichick's apology. Others praise the courage he displayed in facing the music. All ignore the fact that his mea culpa came only after all other avenues were exhausted. To borrow a quote from the movie "Quiz Show", Tomase shouldn't be commended for simply, at long last, telling the truth.
Most damning to the Herald is that they waited until after Matt Walsh's meeting with the commissioner before coming clean. If Walsh was their source (or source of their source), then either the story wasn't fully vetted back to Walsh, or Walsh lied. If he wasn't the source, then they already knew the story was wrong, and were hoping, by some saintly stroke of luck, Walsh would confirm what they were only guessing. Either way, it proves the Herald didn't give the story its due diligence.
Throughout his explanation, it's clear Tomase knew the gravity of what he was reporting and that there were repercussions if proven untrue. He stated it was a story he simply couldn't afford to get wrong. A reporter friend even advised him, "There's no coming back from this."
And yet, there he is, back on the beat.
This isn't a demand for Tomase's termination; his careless editors should carry the brunt of it. But there should be some price for him as well.
Saying you're sorry and having to explain yourself, well, that's a punishment for children. Part of being an adult is facing the consequences of your actions. How else would you be held accountable?

An incredibly astute assessment. Well-done.
Thank you, Dan.
I've grown awfully tired of hearing ESPN and the like call for Belichick's suspension, largely because of the furor that arose over Tomase's lies, while Tomase gets off with a simple apology. In other words, the media has been holding Belichick responsible for the bad feelings that arose over Tomase's story.
I DO think Tomase should be fired. Leaving him on the Patriots beat is an insult to the Patriots and the fans.
Dan, you hit the nail on the head. Why can't Tomase just go away? The Herald needs to take him to some farm where he can play and all that. Instead, anyone who ventures to the Herald web site will be force-fed his version of Shawshank – not going to happen in this lifetime especially with his lack of talent.
The most despicable part of this whole Herald/Tomase affair is how the Herald's minions have been doing their best to downplay the inaccuracy of the story (Felger: "it was just a question of semantics because Matt Walsh was AT the Rams' walkthrough"), or to divert attention from it by writing flame-baiting columns that bash the REAL villains here: the Patriots fans and their blind loyalty to Belichick (Tony Mazz).
It's really pathetic.
Dan, great point about people "taking responsibility" these days. It's not the same as taking blame, a concept which you might say has been quashed. Today, when someone says he's taking responsibility, what he's really saying is he's going to try to do better from now on. Tomase should resign or at the very least take himself off of the Patriots beat. There have to be consequences for such an error.
I might be a Patriots fan with blind loyalty, but at least I'm not making excuses for a lazy, irresponsible co-worker.
Zeus says:
Curious how the media seems to think that Walsh was the source of the false walk-though tape story but still readily believe Walsh's other unsubstantiated and uncorroborated assertions about the team's efforts to "conceal" the videoptaping. Credibility, it would seem, is based on what makes a more entertaining story.
Looky Lou says:
well as far as I'm concerned, I DO demand Tomase's termination….waiting unti THE EVE of the BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT IN AMERICA to write his FLIMSY story was obviously done for Tomase's PERSONAL GAIN….he gambled bigtime and lost…..I want him TERMINATED
George Richman says:
John Tomase should be fired. Every editor who shared responsibility for approving the "walkthrough tape" story should be fired.
I am hopeful that the people of Boston will not let this pass without serious and permanent action against the Herald. IMO, anyone who does not cancel an existing subscription to the Herald, as well as anyone who buys a copy from a news stand, is rewarding the dispicable behavior, and violation of the public trust that Tomase, his editors, and the Herald management, have committed.
BOYCOTT THE HERALD!!
I find it especially funny (and not in the 'ha, ha' sense) when people try to equate Belichick's mistake with Tomase's. Belichick did something that is technically legal, albeit in an illegal way–and it can certainly be argued that his interpretation of the rules has some plausibility.
Tomase, on the other hand, *violated one of the most fundamental tenets of journalism*. The fact that the Herald, and he, do not seem to care about this fact speaks volumes about their sense of ethics. If I were Bob Kraft, I wouldn't bother to sue the Herald. Instead, I'd just revoke their access–completely. No photographers, no reporters, nothing.
Benman says:
This is one of the best articles on media excess I have ever seen.
Dan Snapp has accurately portrayed something which is systemic throughout the American media (and government, corporations, etc. but we don't have to deal w/ that now).
Perhaps the best response, since the Herald editors won't take action, is not only to boycott the paper, but all Rupert Murdoch creations.
Well, I see ESPN has scrapped the bottom of the barrell to keep "spygate" going, looking to Joey Porter for comments…if that doesn't tell you they have an "agenda" NOTHING will…
who will they look to next?…Jose Canseco?
Now why, in this day and age of media unaccountability, would we expect the Herald, ESPN or any of the Patriot haters to step up and be fair and balanced??
Shame on those that went on this witch hunt and they all will get what they deserve – a total lack of respect and lost loyal readers / viewers.
damn…from Bill Burt….never been that impressed with him on WEEI…maybe I haven't really been listening, sometimes I use EEI as background noise
Trying Belichick twice for same infraction is both boring and wrong
Bill Burt
The biggest roar from the Boston Garden's standing-room-only crowd during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, outside of the basketball game, was for Bill Belichick.
It's a ritual every home game when the in-house camera crews search for A-and B-list celebrities, then show them on the Jumbotron.
The fans went into a frenzy when Belichick and his significant other were shown, sitting about five seats from the Piston bench. When Belichick realized the camera was on him he waved, lifting the noise level two more decibels.
One could come up with two possible perspectives from the ovation:
1. Boston fans are beyond repair. Winning at all costs is obviously their Modus Operandi. They are an embarrassment.
2. Boston fans get it. This is one of the most overblown stories in the history of sports. And, when push comes to shove, everyone else is jealous.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I pick Door No. 2.
The most recent bashing session came from Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan, who did what it seems everyone else has done with regularity the last seven months — trash Belichick
It was deemed a "great" column because he had the "guts" to go after one of his own.
Of course, Ryan's premise was "spygate," yes, the same spygate Belichick was tried for and convicted of back in September. And Ryan used the dangerous word, "cover-up," to describe Belichick's most recent antics.
Cover-up?
What am I missing here? Belichick admitted guilt. He was fined and the Patriots lost a first-round draft choice. Where is the "cover-up?"
Ryan and the rest of the country missed the boat here. Their problem was Matt Walsh was a fraud and the real cheater. It was he alone, without any prodding, that witnessed a few moments of the Rams' Saturday walk-through before Super Bowl XXXVI.
Walsh didn't deliver what he promised. There was no tape. Worse, there was no due diligence done on who Walsh was before everyone believed his claims.
But back to Belichick.
I have been placed in the "Kool-Aid camp" when it comes to Belichick. That I believe everything he says and does and have given him carte blanche when it comes to his shoddy treatment of the media.
That is laughable.
Here are my thoughts on Belichick: I believe he is probably the greatest football coach that ever lived. If he can win four or five more Super Bowls I will call him one of the greatest franchise architects, too, right up there with the likes of Red Auerbach.
When it comes to football, I plead ignorance. I don't know who really made a mistake when an interception is thrown or ball is tipped. I could guess, but I'd probably be wrong.
Belichick is not above criticism.
He is in this predicament because he doesn't play the game of "I ask a question and you give me the answer I need."
He could give more information or storylines to ESPN and Sports Illustrated staffers who fly in from thousands of miles away. It would help his cause immensely. But he doesn't.
That's his choice and he has to live with the consequences, which means he rarely if ever gets the benefit of the doubt.
I like Belichick. I like him because, to paraphrase one of his most common torts, he is who he is.
He has conviction. He has core values when it comes to running the Patriots organization and they really haven't changed since our first press conference with him back in January of 2000.
Yes, he is a sore loser. His press conferences after his last two losses, to the Colts in the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl in Phoenix, were not good. A few more accolades for the competition probably would have helped his persona. He, for some reason, chose to remain cranky.
To be honest, several million New Englanders still are not over the loss to the Giants. And as one ex-Patriot told me, "Bill will never get over that loss. He understands what it would have meant to his legacy."
Belichick doesn't say, "I love my players," which is the biggest lie in sports. And he doesn't say Junior Seau is playing great when Seau is playing below average, which of course hurts our storylines.
Belichick, contrary to his "alleged" Nixonian side as Ryan put it, has a soft side. Doug Flutie's drop-kick and Vinny Testaverde's touchdown pass streak are examples.
There are probably dozens more, but he they will remain private probably forever.
What was disappointing about Ryan's rip job was the cheap shot at Belichick's personal life, which he called "tangled."
That is a slippery slope. My guess is the percentage of "tangled" personal lives in the media is equal to that of NFL head coaches, if not higher.
Why not stick to the subject matter?
You know why? Because there is no subject matter here.
This is old news, spygate.
But for those that don't like Belichick or the Patriots, it was another opportunity, and it seems the nation has taken advantage of it.
As much as ESPN's analysts rally against the Patriots accomplishments, filming opposing coaches signals was probably a waste of time.
Football coaches wasting time on some obsessions? Belichick has thousands in his company.
In the end, we in the media want everything. We want access and we want championships.
Former Patriots coach Pete Carroll gave us access but no championships. So he was shipped out of here.
You want to know the funny thing. If Bob Kraft fired Bill Belichick today, there would be a dozen teams ready to hand over their franchises to him, lock, stock and barrel.
Will the Patriots "dynasty" be tainted forever, as Ryan implied?
I doubt it. I believe this black mark on the Patriots will eventually turn gray and then disappear a few years from now.
Time has a way of healing wounds. So do a few more championships. And if I had to guess, I'd say with Belichick leading the way the latter will be here before the former.

Let's look at who tried to screw us – and who tried to save us – during the week that was.
Before we get this weekly hayride started, I just want to say that I HAVE THE BEST READERS IN THE WORLD!
Thanks to all of you, this goofy alternative opinion blog has returned a true sense of purpose to my life, and allowed me the privilege of meeting so many wonderful, civically active, people in our community.
Whether we agree on the issues or not – I am extremely grateful that we can remain friends and share a chuckle at the absurdity of our political predicaments here on the Fun Coast.
Something you may not know about me – I have a rather acute form of social anxiety – a weird sense of Hikikomori – that manifests as an almost hermit-like avoidance of social situations – a self-isolation that transcends the relatively recent phenomenon of quarantines and social distancing. . .
In short – I don't get out much. . .
Last Saturday, with the help of a couple close friends, I screwed up my gumption and stopped by the well-attended Take Back Your Power! fundraiser supporting the candidacy of Jeff "Plan B" Brower for Volusia County Chair at Crabby Joe's on the Sunglow Fishing Pier.
Quite unexpectedly, I met the wonderful Sherry Huskey-Hopson and her husband, long-time readers and loyal members of the Barker's View Tribe – true BV Angels – who gifted me with an incredible hand painted lamp fashioned from a tequila bottle, beautifully adorned with Thin Blue Line flags!
I hate to admit it, but I was so taken aback by the Hopson's kindness that I got a little misty. . .
From the bottom of my beat-up old heart – please accept my thanks for this wonderful gift.
I sincerely appreciate everyone who takes the time to read Barker's View, form an opinion, and generate a greater discussion of the issues in our community!
Angel Volusia County Council
It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong.
On Tuesday, former four-term Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson, who currently serves as the at-large member of the County Council, spoke in opposition to Sheriff Mike Chitwood's request for a Bearcat armored vehicle.
Mr. Johnson couched his disagreement in terms of fiscal responsibility.
Regardless, Councilman Johnson's initial resistance came off angry and wrong – and conflicted with the previous convictions of Sheriff Johnson. . .
Given his vast law enforcement experience, Ben Johnson knows better than most – when you need an armored tactical vehicle, you really need an armored tactical vehicle – and with the looming possibility of a change in administration in Washington, it is imperative that the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies prepare for the very real possibility that all federally granted tactical vehicles, weapons, and equipment currently in use will be removed from service, literally at the stroke of a pen.
Should that occur, it would leave the Sheriff's Office with just one armored vehicle – vital equipment which is used extensively during emergency management operations for hurricanes and highwater rescues – and provides a critical tactical advantage to deputies during armed encounters.
Councilman Johnson's opposition stirred a passionate response from Sheriff Chitwood – during which he repeated Mr. Johnson's own 2015 concerns when President Barack Obama stopped the transfer of surplus military equipment to law enforcement.
In addition, Sheriff Chitwood explained that VCSO has operated millions-of-dollars under budget each year of his administration – something he has every right to be proud of during these unprecedented times.
To his credit, Councilman Johnson changed tack – and agreed that the safety of Volusia County residents and law enforcement is too important to leave to chance, and, given the uncertainty of the upcoming presidential election – he agreed to err on the side of caution and support the appropriation.
Because that is what a true statesman does.
They leave personal biases and preconceived notions outside the chamber, listen to the lively debate of ideas, put personal hostility aside, weigh the information presented, and make an informed decision in the best interests of all constituents.
I was extremely proud of Ben Johnson – and Sheriff Chitwood – who proved he can hold his own in the political arena.
It has been awhile since I've seen it, but I'm quite sure that's what good governance looks like.
Then, after the obligatory politically correct mewling and handwringing, I was also glad to see the Volusia County Council give some much-needed hope to struggling small businesses when they agreed to consider Biketoberfest activities on unincorporated properties who adopt reasonable safety procedures during the annual fall bacchanalia next month.
When faced with the option of a temporary moratorium on special event permits – or allowing the event with responsible safety restrictions – our council members opted to strike a cautious medium and impose protocols which may allow area businesses to take advantage of the crowds that will naturally attend this popular annual rally.
The Volusia County Council will take up the matter at their September 28 meeting. Let's hope they throw struggling businesses a lifeline when its needed most.
Inexplicably, last week, many watched in horror as perhaps the most anti-business coalition in the history of the Halifax area crushed area merchants – many of which have been brought to the point of extinction by the economic collapse – when the Daytona Beach City Commission, under the "leadership" of Mayor Derrick "Il Duce" Henry, openly ignored the fervent pleas of small business owners and refused to support a reasonable safety plan that would have allowed a toned-down Biketoberfest at its traditional epicenter next month.
Although couched as a public health measure, the asinine abdication by Daytona Beach officials was mean-spirited and officious – and will be remembered for the lasting damage it will naturally inflict on our already crippled local economy.
In addition, Daytona Beach area residents, visitors and businesses will forever live with the consequences of the strange time their hapless elected officials refused to implement a commonsense coronavirus prevention strategy, which would have allowed businesses to provide food and beverage service, entertainment, and outside vendors, while maintaining social distancing and other precautionary measures.
I know some vehemently disagree with the City of Ormond Beach's decision to permit Biketoberfest activities in that community, but when you consider the number of families that have been financially devastated by the economic shutdown – our friends and neighbors standing in breadlines, on the very brink of losing their homes, businesses and future – it is the right decision, one that brings hope, and allows everyone to make their own decision whether to attend the event or not.
Not unexpectedly, the always arrogant Dishonest Deb Denys, used the opportunity to flex her muscles and flaunt her dictatorial nature when she crowed, "I think it's better that we set some parameters on what we expect for our citizens…"
Hey, Deb, guess what?
The citizens you have lorded over for the past eight-years are sick and tired of your ludicrous idea of nanny state politics – and we don't need you to "set parameters" on the lawful conduct of free people – nor do we give two-shits what your expectations are for the rest of us – just adopt a reasonable safety plan, okay?
Why can't Dishonest Deb simply recognize the gravity of this situation to the lives and livelihoods of small businesses across Volusia County who are facing imminent economic disaster – get off her high horse – and stop making everything a cheap "look at me" powerplay?
Once Councilwoman Denys is beaten like a gong by the people's candidate – Jeff "Plan B" Brower – in the Volusia County Chair race in November, perhaps someone should memorialize her pompous pontifications on a marble plaque and hang it in the council chamber as a reminder to future politicians who conveniently forget their role. . .
Unfortunately, that wasn't the only pretentious horseshit that marred an otherwise positive public meeting.
Not to be outdone, our doddering fool of a County Chair, the lame duck, Ed Kelley, made it a point to show just how pious and petty he can truly be when he opined from the dais that Sheriff Chitwood brought his department in under budget due to unfilled personnel vacancies – not because of fiscal responsibility to the citizens he serves so well.
It was a cheap shot by a confused old hack trying desperately to remain relevant as his disastrous political career comes to an unceremonious end. Nothing more.
His shabby comments did not add to the discussion.
No one asked for his backhanded "clarification."
The simple old flunky could not help himself.
So, as Tuesday's unusually productive meeting was brought to a close, Old Ed seized the opportunity to besmirch Sheriff Chitwood, and, in doing so – illustrated in the purest way possible – why the citizens of Volusia County voted to approve Amendment 10 and returned constitutional sovereignty to the Sheriff and other essential elective offices.
Angel Joe Roebuck and SCCY Firearms
Earlier this week, we were given front row seats to the ongoing melodrama starring FitUSA – an Ormond Beach sportswear manufacturer that successfully diversified into personal protective equipment at the advent of the pandemic – and is now threatening to move the medical supply arm of the business (and the 500 jobs it promises) to Atlanta, unless city, county and state officials come up with an extortionate $5 million to $7 million in public incentives.
It's not pretty. A public relations nightmare run amok.
I called bullshit in a Barker's View piece earlier this week entitled "Give or Take," and many of you agreed with me.
That's why it was so refreshing to learn that Joe Roebuck – a self-made success who began manufacturing reasonably priced, high-quality SCCY Firearms (pronounced Sky) in a small shop in South Daytona – has committed to keeping his expanding business in Volusia County.
Without any government handouts attached.
I admire that.
I also admire Mr. Roebuck's excellent product.
Having owned an early SCCY model, I can report that these compact handguns are tailor made for the popular concealed carry market, extremely reliable, and competitively priced for anyone looking for a quality, well-fitted, semiautomatic handgun.
According to a great piece by business reporter Clayton Park in The Daytona Beach News-Journal, by the end of October, all SCCY operations will be consolidated in Daytona Beach, operating from a 21,000-square-foot building off Bill France Boulevard – with a second manufacturing unit set to occupy a portion of the vacant Costa Del Mar headquarters at Center Point Business Park on Mason Avenue.
In 2017, Mr. Roebuck announced plans to move his operation to East Tennessee after officials there offered a very lucrative incentive package worth some $5 million – including 68-acres of land for an expansive headquarters campus.
However, facing strong competition for skilled workers – which drove labor costs through the roof – Mr. Roebuck made the decision to return all SCCY operations to Daytona Beach.
In doing so, Mr. Roebuck earned the respect, good will, and grassroots appreciation that FitUSA lost in its mercenary demand for millions in scarce public funds during a pandemic.
According to Mr. Park's informative report:
"Roebuck said the new jobs he plans to create here range from $14 an hour for low-skill machine operators up to $90,000 to $100,000 a year on average for skilled engineers.
"We pay above market and we also offer a full benefits package that includes a 401(k) program. We pay more than 90% of medical, including vision and dental, and offer two to three weeks of PTO (paid time off) and all major holidays off," he said. All employees at SCCY are full-time. "We don't have any part-timers here. We operate in three shifts."
In my view, Joe Roebuck is a true 'Hometown Hero' who represents the kind of responsible corporate partner the citizens of Volusia County so desperately need and deserve.
Asshole First Step Shelter
The differences between West Volusia's "The Bridge" come-as-you-are homeless assistance center and the City of Daytona Beach's extravagant First Step Self-Improvement Seminar and Spa could not be starker – or more telling.
Apparently, First Step's executive director and governing board failed to realize (or care) that the needs of the vulnerable homeless population – literally their raison d'existence – did not stop during the coronavirus pandemic.
Only their willingness to help. . .
I have a problem with that.
Citing COVID-19 fears, for nearly six months, the First Step facility has refused to accept new residents, leaving just a handful at the facility which is capable of providing shelter to between 45 and 100, depending upon who you talk to.
In my view, pulling up the drawbridge, barricading the portcullis, and cutting off services to those in need is a unique way of preventing the spread of coronavirus at the 15,820-square-foot, $6+ million homeless assistance center in the hinterlands west of Daytona Beach.
By any metric, the First Step Shelter – from its inception – has been a shit show of epic proportions, and has exposed the whale dung level of dysfunction and mismanagement that has kept smart people shaking their heads, suspicious donors at arm's length, and left many curious if some members of the board have lost their marbles. . .
For instance, area businessman and First Step board member Mike Panaggio gushed in the News-Journal this week, "I continue to be very proud to be involved," said shelter board member Mike Panaggio. "I think now we're on the right path."
What planet is Mr. Panaggio on?
Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the shelter's perpetual failure to launch is a colossal embarrassment – and has perpetuated the sense that, so long as the current multi-dimensional management scheme is allowed to continue, absolutely nothing will fundamentally change.
Because, like every other public/private pursuit, First Step is no longer about providing essential services. Now, it is little more than an income source for multiple layers of staff and management – the homeless be damned.
I mean, is there another explanation?
Yet, manna from heaven continues to fall into the shelter's coffers – and, given the facility's recurring $113,000 monthly nut – First Step needs all the help it can get.
Earlier this week, the Volusia County Council directed some $1.09 million in CARES Act funding to the needy First Step shelter – a cash infusion that will apparently be used to hire even more staff – and convert the homeless shelter into the Lord Mountbatten suite at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.
In addition to a 1,000 square foot addition, which will serve as an initial quarantine area for new residents, the facility will see a dedicated computer room and a floor to ceiling partition for the multipurpose room.
The remainder of the federal funds will be used to:
"…hang microfiber curtains around bunk beds to prevent germ transmission; install motion-activated faucets, urinals and toilets; add UV air disinfection units; build outdoor patio roofs; buy patio furniture; purchase high-grade washers and dryers; hire a housing coordinator who would help find residents places to live; and add another new full-time employee who would monitor residents for up to 12 months after they moved into permanent housing."
Some of the money may also be used to pay security deposits and provide rental assistance for residents transitioning to their own housing – however, there is no word when First Step will resume providing these programmatic services to homeless persons – other than the robotic bureaucratic mantra, "as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible. . ."
In keeping with the governmental practice of showering money on failing programs while starving those who are doing the most good – the Neighborhood Center of West Volusia, which operates DeLand's The Bridge homeless shelter, is also in line for a small bite of the CARES Act funding.
Unlike the all-but-shuttered First Step, the West Volusia program is practicing reasonable COVID-19 precautions while actively assisting homeless persons at its 6,300 square foot facility, which will officially open on September 28.
At present, the low barrier shelter is helping people get off the street through its innovative day care program, which offers activities, personal care, and medical/mental healthcare referrals to those in need, while welcoming the hungry with a nutritious lunch at 11:30am and dinner at 5:30pm.
The Bridge shelter is quickly becoming a beacon for those less fortunate in West Volusia – a shining example of what First Step could be – what it should be.
"It was really disappointing to learn that our local Republican Executive Committee voted against support of ECHO and Volusia Forever! At the cost of less than $30 a year for taxpayers, ECHO over the last 20 years has helped fund 203 projects for Environmental, Cultural, Historical and Outdoor Recreation.
The Republicans position went against funds for nonprofits; without ECHO, the nonprofit groups could not have created or preserved such wonderful attractions like Lilian Place Heritage Center, the Pioneer Settlement, DeBary Hall, Ponce Inlet Lighthouse Park, Peabody Auditorium, etc. ECHO has supported cultural and art groups such as the Art League and the Athens Theater, plus it upgraded youth athletic fields and community parks. This is an impressive list of projects that have benefited all.
Volusia Forever has assisted with the acquisition of approximately 38,000 acres of land which were saved for water and natural resource protection. This funding is most needed as we look 20 years ahead and realize land must be preserved if we are to restore our springs and renew our aquifer which provides drinking water.
ECHO and Volusia Forever must be approved by voters to continue the important funding for preservation of our quality of life in Volusia County."
–Nancy Long, South Daytona, writing in The Daytona Beach News-Journal's Letters to the Editor, "Opposition to ECHO disappoints," Tuesday, September 15, 2020
For the record, I am not a Republican or a Democrat – I'm someone who has learned to think for myself – and have come to the conclusion that neither of the major political parties represent my interests.
That's why I find it disturbing that partisan politics are playing such an influential role in the debate over the return of Volusia ECHO and Forever – two tax supported environmental and cultural programs that have brought such tangible benefits to residents and visitors.
Last week, the Volusia Republican Executive Committee snootily tut-tutted their opposition to these initiatives – citing the need for roads and utilities over parks and greenspace – which, I assume, is a crude attempt to correct the sins of those malleable politicians they supported who allowed unchecked sprawl to outpace infrastructure.
Now, the Volusia Democratic Executive Committee is weighing in, jumping up-and-down, giddily expressing their support of ECHO and Forever as a clear means of showing how "different" and morally superior they are from Republican's in a cheap effort to gain a political advantage this fall.
In my view, these important funding sources transcend partisan politics.
At least they should.
With strengthened oversight, a disciplined commitment to responsible spending, and a willingness to check craven politicians who would pervert these programs to fund projects outside their intended purpose (like purchasing off-beach parking lots and squirreling away cash for a dubious "boardwalk extension") it is possible to have both.
Call me selfish, but I happen to believe it is important that my grandchildren enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities, hiking trails, cultural and artistic venues, wildlife habitat and environmental treasures like clean lakes, springs and rivers – rather than endure a bleak civic life marked by half-empty strip centers and ghastly "theme" communities – built over what were once the pristine wetlands and natural places of their grandfather's youth.
And, when it comes to actually protecting and preserving our local environment, neither Republicans, nor Democrats, have done more than generate hot air. . .
I have found wisdom in the 1966 opinion of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Michael Musmanno, who wrote of the importance of supporting the acquisition of those important amenities that make a community home:
"The objective of a community is not merely to survive, but to progress, to go forward into an ever-increasing enjoyment of the blessings conferred by the rich resources of this nation under the benefaction of the Supreme Being for the benefit of all the people of that community.
If a well governed city were to confine its governmental functions merely to the task of assuring survival, if it were to do nothing but to provide 'basic services' for an animal survival, it would be a city without parks, swimming pools, zoos, baseball diamonds, football gridirons, and playgrounds for children.
Such a city would be a dreary city indeed. As man cannot live by bread alone, a city cannot endure on cement, asphalt, and sewer pipes alone.
A city must have a municipal spirit beyond its physical properties, it must be alive with an esprit de corps, its personality must be such that visitors—both business and tourist—are attracted to the city, pleased by it, and wish to return to it.
That personality must be one to which the population contributes by mass participation in activities identified with that city."
As promised, things are heating up in the Volusia County Chair race between the incumbent lump, Dishonest Deb Denys, and her hardworking opponent, Jeff Brower, a gentleman farmer from West Volusia who has proven his commitment to improving our quality of life.
In my view, this is the most important local election on the ballot – because it represents the stark difference between the haughty, self-serving, and totally compromised status quo – an oligarchical system wholly owned by our civic and economic elite with the wherewithal to pay to play – and the bright opportunity for new beginnings and an inclusive vision for the future of Volusia County.
In recent weeks, the troubling refrain I hear from friends and neighbors is that, on the rare occasion they bothered to seek Councilwoman Denys' assistance – their calls and emails went unanswered – totally ignored – almost as if they didn't exist, or their concerns had no validity in a place where only the right last names deserve the attention of elected officials.
Many of these residents had never needed help from their elected representative before – and their lasting impression of Volusia County government was forever tainted by the arrogance and ignorance of one unresponsive member who answers only to her uber-wealthy puppet masters.
Like many of you, I have quit trying to figure out Dishonest Debs motivations.
Besides, the reasons for her involvement in this base form of access restricted politic$ are self-evident.
It is just part of why Jeff Brower has earned the unwavering support of the Volusia County Deputies Association and the Volusia County Professional Firefighters Association – our brave first responders who boldly hold the line to protect my family and yours.
And it is why Volusia County residents continue to reject the timid recommendations of has-been politicians and obsequious hangers-on – stalwarts of the tired Volusia County Old Guard – still trying their best to pander to the last vestiges of the Ruling Class in the only way they know how. . .
How sad.
If you are interested in hearing Jeff Brower's exciting plans to end overdevelopment, protect our fresh water supply, stop corporate welfare, and establish realistic spending priorities to improve infrastructure – I hope you will attend his energetic campaign's Finish First! fundraiser at beautiful Gemini Springs Park in DeBary tomorrow.
This is a great opportunity to meet the candidate who finished first in the primary – a true servant-leader who represents our best hope of preserving the environment, protecting our quality of life, and returning responsive representation to Volusia County government.
The activities begin at 10:00am in the park's OK Corral Pavilion – with a cookout, soft drinks, and treats – and music by Danny G and Robyn Collins until 2:00pm. Please feel free to bring a covered dish to this community-oriented event!
Jeff's special guests will be William Sell, candidate for Debary City Council Seat 2, and David Sossa, candidate for Deltona City Commission District 6.
Please come out and show your support!

That's all for me. Have a great weekend, y'all!

First step shelter, a huge failure.
Lets turn it into a Daytona Beach welcome center for tourists. We can give out brochures to tourists. Better yet, we can turn it into a truck stop for overnight truckers. Those truckers work very hard and there is a shortage of highway truck parking.
My wife and I just got our flu shots.Got only knows how many with pre existing problems had the flu and not covid.Heard a radio interview with a Ormond Beach city councilman yesterday who is running again and never knew how deep he is with manufactured homes and commercial real estate.Only here 4 years but every week I learn something new for my vote.Thought I was kind of intelligent and then these good ole boys who are here 35 years think you are stupid and I just laugh at them like car row owners and employees who when I would not buy a car would not give me my keys back to my trade.Buyers beware of extra window stickers and dealer fees .
Angry Mom says:
Between the feckless Daytona Beach City Manager and the gutless school board, is there any hope for us? The school board after months of flying by the seat of their pants without a real plan, finally gets tough and tells staff, "fix it?" Wow, I should have thought of that!!! Just tell staff to fix it! No input, no accepting of accountability. Mrs Wright has let us down again!


When it comes to heated styling tools, naturals tend to look the other way. Common advice is to stay away from anything heat related because of the adverse effects it can have on the hair. While using a blow dryer or flat iron every once in a while may not be a big issue for some, it can cause irreparable heat damage, resulting in dried out, straight ends that won't curl or coil back.
But, blow dryers don't have to be the enemy. Besides being a quick way to dry your hair, they are very good at getting rid of knots and nasty tangles — especially if you have thick and long hair. Less tangles means less breakage and we all hate to lose hair due to breakage. Stretching out natural hair with a blow dryer also helps achieve certain hairstyles.
The key is to use the proper heat protectant products on you hair and invest in a quality dryer with controlled heat temperatures to ensure you don't fry out your hair. Also, pay attention to the state of your hair. If your hair is already dried out and damaged, adding heat is not the answer.
But, while many people say that blow drying hair is not the best option, it's all about what you feel your hair needs and how exactly you utilize the heat styling tool. I, personally, believe in using heat styling tool as long as you use with caution. Still unsure? Consult with your local stylist to get an expert assessment.

2022-06-23T00:57:52.8229138Z Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.

The bsp file has these lines:
<remote fetch="https://git.yoctoproject.org/git" name="yocto"/>
<remote fetch="git://git.openembedded.org" name="oe"/>
<remote> fetch="https://git.yoctoproject.org" name="ti"/>

I created a Linux VM using Hyper-V on a Windows system. I ran through the steps manually and created the build without issues. When I add the similar steps onto the Azure Pipeline, I ran into problem. I got this unhandled exception.
I don't have the Yocto code to look as I don't have access to the Azure build machine. I am not sure how to debug this issue and why I am seeing this failure. Can someone provide some suggestions?

A: So I figured out the issue. In my local VM build, there was no locale issue. When I use the Azure Dev Ops Pipeline, I ran into this error:
Please use a locale setting which supports UTF-8 (such as LANG=en_US.UTF-8).
Python can't change the filesystem locale after loading so we need a UTF-8 when Python starts or things won't work
I tried to fix this error. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 didn't work. I fixed it using something. This error went away but later during Initialising tasks, I got the unhandled exception.
So I searched on the web and came up with this fix for the locale:
sudo apt-get install locales
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
cat "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/environment
cat "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/environment
cat /etc/environment > /etc/default/locale

I probably don't need all of them but I wanted to be sure. This got me passed the unhandled exception shown.

"The GP V3 is a fantastic project. I worked closely with our international team to make the kite perfectly suited to their powerful new school riding styles. It is great watching those guys ripping in the water! "
So you think you have what it takes to be a freestyle superstar, a bag full of seriously committed tricks, insane style and a game face that shows you are handing out a schooling and taking no prisoners. So isn't it time that you stepped up to the kite to match your aspirations? The GP is the ultimate newschool and wakestyle kite and it's the choice of world champions when it is time to dominate. Youri and Gisela could ride any kite they wanted, but they joined Best to compete on the GP because the GP is team designed and 100% competition focused.
The GP's Reflex curved LE increases the canopy lift area; you get more power, pop and upwind ability so you can dominate the competition zone. The Reflex LE design means no other C-kite can match the way the GP slacks out after you pop, it's guaranteed to help you stomp your double passes and it's the reason our pro team choose the GP.
Twin-Tune rigging lets you swap front lines between newschool and wakestyle settings at a moment's notice. Newschoolers can tune in more reactive steering, increased depower and vertical lift to push their riding. Wakestyle riders can dial in more pop, less reactive steering and maximum slack allowing them to reinvent their style and blow away the competition.
After two year's meticulous development we've added the Twist-Lock LE Valve to the GP so you can be on the water in less time with less pumping. Team rider input has driven refinements to canopy and wing tip shaping, improving stability and responsiveness that will help you nail those 'balls out' tricks. Our Double Core RS canopy fabric is built with twice as many reinforcement fibers as standard cloths and it's so durable that we'll guarantee your GP for life. Add in a 5th-Line Safety system, original Canopy Framing and 3D Kevlar Airframe construction and you have a performance package that delivers Bomb Proof Build quality you can trust.
If you're looking for the competitive edge this season then it's time you joined the best newschool and wakestyle riders in the world on the GP and started to dominate the competition.
"Team riders want a light, strong, ultra durable and comfortable bar, that's what the GP bar delivers so they can dominate the competition. "
Good freestyle and wakestyle kite.
Great hang time and pop.
Suitable for intermediate to experienced riders who search for a freestyle machine.
The relaunch could be better, but its Still good for a C kite.
The thing i like the most from the kite is the boost when you take off. When you edge. Then you get the slack in the lines, which is good to make the handle pass.
The kite is really good for freestyle/wakestyle. I like riding with it!

Actor Biography
Jesse Tyler Ferguson currently stars as Mitchell Pritchett on the Emmy Award-winning ABC comedy Modern Family. Now in its tenth season, the show has earned five Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, a Golden Globe Award for Outstanding Comedy Series and four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Ferguson has also received five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and three People's Choice Award nominations for 'Favorite Comedic TV Actor' on behalf of Modern Family.
No stranger to television, Ferguson received rave reviews and was honored by The Hollywood Reporter in 2006 as one of Ten to Watch for his role on the CBS ensemble sitcom The Class. His additional television credits include Do Not Disturb and Ugly Betty. Film credits include Untraceable and Wonderful World.
Ferguson made his Broadway debut at the age of 21 as Chip in George C. Wolfe's revival of On the Town. He later went on to originate the role of Leaf Coneybear in the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee ('Outstanding Ensemble Performance' winner, Drama Desk Awards, 2005; 'Distinguished Performance' nominee, Drama League Awards, 2005). He has worked extensively with The New York Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park in such notable productions as The Tempest, The Comedy of Errors ('Distinguished Performance' nominee, Drama League Awards, 2014), The Merchant of Venice, The Winter's Tale and A Midsummer Night's Dream ('Distinguished Performance' nominee, Drama League Awards, 2008). Other theatre credits include world premieres of Christopher Shinn's Where Do We Live and Michael John LaChiusa's LIittle Fish, as well as Leo Bloom in The Producers and Sir Robin in Spamalot, both at The Hollywood Bowl.
A longstanding advocate for marriage equality, Ferguson co-founded Tie The Knot in 2012 with his husband, where they design limited edition bow ties with all the proceeds going to various organizations that fight for civil rights for gay and lesbian Americans. Their first collection debuted in November 2012 and sold out in less than a month. They have released new collections seasonally since and featured ties designed by guest designers including Isaac Mizrahi, George Takei, Tim Gunn and Bryan Cranston.
Ferguson is also an advocate and active supporter of the Human Rights Campaign. In 2011, he was honored with the HRC's Media Award, which recognizes an individual for establishing a positive, increased awareness of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues in the media.

Arsenal Sweat Over Torreira Injury
Midfielder Spotted Wearing Ice-Pack
Image: Svetlana Beketova
Arsenal have fears over midfielder Lucas Torreira after he was withdrawn from Uruguay's victory over Mexico early on Saturday morning.
The £26million summer signing was withdrawn at half-time during La Celeste's 4-1 victory and replaced by Christian Stuani. More worryingly for Arsenal fans he was spotted on the bench with an ice pack on his leg in the second half.
Torreira arrived from Sampdoria in the summer. He impressed at the World Cup for Uruguay although his move to Arsenal from the Serie A side had been agreed before the tournament began.
The 22-year-old has yet to make the Arsenal starting line-up being named on the bench for all four of their Premier League matches so far this season. His playing time has amounted to just 118 minutes of football. That was after he started in 36 of Sampdoria's 38 Serie A matches last season.

Dr Vasilis Politis has been teaching in the Department of Philosophy since 1992 (permanent since 1997). He is also director of the Dublin Centre for the Study of the Platonic Tradition. He obtained his B.A., B.Phil and D.Phil from Oxford.
Ancient Philosophy, esp. Plato and Aristotle.
Following a number of articles on the place of aporia in Plato's early dialogues, and with the recent publication of The Structure of Enquiry in Plato's Early Dialogues, a very major research project has been brought to a successful conclusion. Now is a good moment to look forward with a view to the next project. This project emerges directly out of the previous, and from The Structure of Enquiry. My aim is to address, in a new way and from a new angle, the question of the origin of Plato's theory of Forms; and to do so based on the conclusions at which I arrived in my recent book, especially regarding the role that a specific kind of aporia, which I label radical aporia, occupies in Plato's method of argument and enquiry. The central question of the project is: In what way, and based on what reasoning, did Plato arrive at the commitment not only to definitions and essences, but to Forms and the division of all things into, on the one hand, changeless, imperceptible Forms and, on the other-hand, sense-perceptible things subject to physical change? I believe this project has the potential of transforming the current state of the art (the Forschungsstand) with regard to the question of the character and origin of Plato's theory of Forms. Both traditionally and today, there are two categories of views regarding this question. On the one view, commonly referred to as 'unitarianism', the theory of Forms is present already in Plato's early dialogues. On the other view, this being the Aristotelian style view indicated above, the theory is derived by Plato from two distinct and independent elements, only one of which is present in the early dialogues. I argue against both views. The Aristotelian style view is problematic because, as I will argue, it implies that Plato does not have a non-question-begging reasoning for Forms. The unitarian view is equally, if not more, problematic, I believe. For it leaves Plato without an attempt to argue for Forms.
The aim of this project is to establish the function of aporia in Plato's early dialogues and to show that this is crucial for our understanding of, first, the method and structure of Plato's arguments and inquiries, and, second, Plato's demand for definitions and the view that knowledge requires knowledge of definitions. This project is now at a stage of completion, with several articles and a major book.
This project studies the role of aporia in ancient philosophy, from the Eleatics and sophists, through Plato and Aristotle, to later scepticism (both Academic and Pyrrhonian) and up to Plotinus and Damascius. The project is a joint undertaking of Vasilis Politis and George Karamanolis (Vienna). It brings together a team of fourteen international experts. It will issues in a volume of papers to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2016.

This guy must be in great shape.
IT TAKES A fair bit of skill to use a hula-hoop it seems.
We reckon it's the way you move your hips that makes it so tricky.
Mind you this fella makes most hula enthusiasts look like amateurs given that he is using a 100 pound tire in this video.
The description says he's breaking a world record and whether he is or not this is impressive and makes us feel even more embarrassed by our hoop skills.

Persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD) is a disorder of grief included in DSM-5. Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is included in ICD-11. Few studies have evaluated and compared criteria sets for DSM-5 PCBD and ICD-11 PGD. The current study explored and compared the dimensionality, prevalence rates, diagnostic agreement, concurrent validity, and socio-demographic and loss-related correlates of both criteria sets.
Selfreported data were available from 551 bereaved individuals. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that for DSM5 PCBD-symptoms, a three-factor model with distinct but correlated factors fit the data well; for ICD-11 PGDsymptoms a one-factor model yielded adequate fit. The prevalence of probable DSM-5 PCBD (8.2%) was significantly lower than ICD-11 PGD (19.2%). Both DSM-5 PCBD and ICD-11 PGD were significantly associated with concurrent overall grief and depression, and varied as a function of education and time since loss. ICD-11 PGD prevalence rates went down and agreement with PCBD-caseness went up, when heightening the number of symptoms required for an ICD-11 PGD diagnosis.

After Sharon: Too Early to Speculate
Submitted by Maurice Picow (Israel), Jan 8, 2006 at 11:54
Ariel Sharon is definitely one of a kind. He may someday go down in history as one of modern Israel's greatest leaders - possibly as great as David Ben Gurion. Many have written articles about Sharon, since he suffered this second and most dangerous stroke on Thursday. Too many, sadly, have written what appear to be eulogies - as if 'Arik' is already dead. That's too bad, and unfortunately, another example of an overzealous news media.
If he does survive his 'greatest battle' he will most likely be finished as far as being a political leader is concerned. Just being able to return to his beloved ranch and care for his sheep will be achievement enough, even though he will no longer be the "Good Sheperd" of his extended flock - the citizens of Israel.
At the moment, it's very difficult to speculate as who can fill his shoes. Both Sharon and Shimon Peres are part of Israel's 'old guard' both being involved in Israel's military and political makeup since the creation of the state. Peres is too old, though; and Binyamin Natanyahu, leader of the right wing Likud Party, wants the job. But the question is: does Israel really want Natanyahu?
What will develop in the coming days and weeks will be interesting and possibly profound in the State of Israel's personal and political makeup. The Palestinians in particular, may try to 'test' Israel's interim government to see what reactions would come as a result to planned terror attacks.
A lot of speculation has been in the air regarding why Sharon chose to remain on his ranch after suffering the first stroke in December; and why he was driven 70 kilometers in an ambulance instead of being flown to Jerusalem in a helicopter, a mere ten to fifteen minute flight. Perhaps this explains the kind of man Sharon is: one who wanted his nation to believe he was all right and not seriously ill, as a helicopter flight might have dramatized.
Another Geroge Patton perhaps? Maybe. But one who tempered his mettle in his later years.
History will surely note him this way.
Mark my comment as a response to After Sharon: Too Early to Speculate by Maurice Picow


A trip back in time, the Grand Canal in 1998!
Our introduction to Venice was in 1998 when we strolled out of the Santa Lucia train station to the Vaporetto (bus boat) stop outside and hopped on to see the magic that is Venice from the Grand Canal.
Looking across the canal from the Ca'd'Oro stop you have a view of the Venice markets. The Venice fish market is in the building with arches on the right – and the open air fruit and vegetable market on the left.
The Mercato Rialto stop is in front of the open air market. Across the canal you can see Ca'd'Oro and the Ca'd'Oro valporetto stop. The palace to the right of Ca' d'Oro is Palazzo Morosini-Sagredo.
Looking back down the canal you can see the Vaporetto stop Rialto on the right. The pink building on the right is Palazzo Bembo, beyond it is Palazzo Dolfin Manin (Hotel Palazzini Grassi) and then the Rialto vaporetto stop.
Next to the Rialto bridge on the right is Hotel Rialto. Behind it you can see the San Bartolomeo bell tower.
Looking toward Santa Maria della Salute off in the distance, the Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti is the first palace on the left. Palazzo Barbaro is next to it.
16th Century palace on the Grand Canal, decorated with mosaics of Murano glass that were applied in 1886 by the then owners, a family of Murano glassmakers.
Looking back toward the Accademia bridge, view of Palazzo Barbarigo between Palazzo Mura on the left, and across a small canal Palazzo Loredan on the right.
Palazzo Badoer is now the Westin Europa & Regina Hotel, across the Grand Canal from Santa Maria della Salute.

The short peptide PHSRN has been identified in the 9th type III fibronectin repeat as a key site for synergistic enhancement of the cell-adhesive activity of the RGD sequence in the 10th type III repeat. However, this synthetic peptide mediated a synergistic enhancement of cell-adhesive activity only when it was covalently linked to the corresponding site of a non-active recombinant construct consisting of the 8th and 10th type III fibronectin repeats.
Miyamoto et al. observed that PHSRN ameliorates the inhibitory effects of conventional peritoneal dialysis fluids on peritoneal wound healing.
