Geelvinck ("yellow finch") was a Dutch surname.  The family died out in the early 19th century.

Some notable members of the family include:

 Jan Cornelis Geelvinck, the son of a merchant in beans and peas, and involved in the West India Company. He was the first in the family who became burgomaster or mayor in Amsterdam.
 Jan Cornelis's son Cornelis Geelvinck was also a burgomaster in Amsterdam and involved in the West India Company.
 Cornelis's son Albert Geelvinck was a lawyer and involved in Surinam. He married a rich orphan, Sara Hinlopen, the daughter of Jan Jacobszoon Hinlopen. The Museum Geelvinck-Hinlopen is named after this couple.
 Cornelis's eldest son Joan Geelvinck (1644–1707), a merchant and politician, who was allowed by the Dutch East India Company to baptize the Geelvink, one of the three ships under the command of Willem de Vlamingh who had orders to explore the Australian west coast in 1696. The Geelvink Channel on the west coast of Australia received its name. The Geelvink Bay and the Geelvink Islands near Western New Guinea were discovered in 1705. Also the East Geelvink Bay languages, the Geelvink pygmy parrot, Geelvink Bay flying fox and Geelvink pygmy tree frog carry the name of the ship.
 Joan's son Lieve Geelvinck was a burgomaster and married in 1730 the richest woman in Amsterdam. Lieve was a powerful republican; in 1734 the prince William IV of Orange and his wife Anna of Hanover left the city of Amsterdam within an hour, after being received by him.

 Lieve's son, Nicolaes Geelvinck, married in 1729 the daughter of the richest woman in Amsterdam. He was married three times. Helped by his father-in-law, he became mayor of Amsterdam in 1748. Within a few months one third of the vroedschap was removed by the stadtholder William IV of Orange. Geelvinck also lost his seat in the Admiralty of Amsterdam, despite widespread expectations that he would lead reforms.  Ahasuerus and Haman at the Feast of Esther, a painting by Rembrandt, was given to him by his great-aunt Sara Hinlopen.
 Nicolaes's son Nicolaas Geelvinck, lord of Stabroek, was an administrator of the West India Company; between 1784 and 1812 Georgetown in Guyana was called Stabroek.
 In 1756 Nicolaes's son Lieve married Catharina Elisabeth Hasselaer, the daughter of a diplomat. In 1757 he died. The widow Geelvinck was a close friend of Belle van Zuylen and James Boswell, who called her "la belle veuve".
 Nicolaes's son Joan Geelvinck (1737–1802), was a Patriot and in 1787 a burgomaster for only five months. He fled to Paris and joined Lafayette.
 Joan's daughter Maria Petronella Geelvinck (1769-1831), married in 1787 Anton Tschiffely (1759-1824), until 1785 in the Dutch military service. Maria Petronella moved with him to Switzerland and took a painting with her by Gabriël Metsu. Tschiffely, since 1795 a member of the Bern city council, used the title Lord of Stabroek. In 1832 the painting was sold by her inheritants to the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

On the surface, the new Nike LeBron X Low Floral sneakers looks like something only sneakerheads can really discuss but when you take a look at the insoles you will see 11-12. 12-13 in the left and 2 Time Champion in the right.
That's kind of bold move by N(ostradamus)ike because I would feel kind of silly wearing these shoes if the Spurs end up as the 12-13 Champs.

Okay so this angers me out of my mind.
First off, Dennis Rodman is better than Birdman in EVERY aspect of the game and they shouldn't even be compared. Birdman is just there for height and shotblocking ability. Rodman was a game changer, a SF that averaged SEVENTEEN REBOUNDS, and one of the best defensive players the game has seen. Rodman was a game changer. Birdman is someone they picked off the street doing meth.
Next, I would never DARE to call Scottie Pippen a sidekick. I have a lot of respect for Dwyane Wade, even with my dislike of the Miami Heat, but I would call Scottie Pippen more of a partner. A sidekick is something that you would call someone much lower than you, like a helper. Now I'm not saying Dwyane Wade is either, Dwyane Wade isn't a sidekick. The whole sidekick portion of it is completely wrong.
LASTLY, Michael Jordan and LeBron shouldn't be compared.
I don't want to go on about the Leader portion knowing how eager you fans get about LeBron.
NBA Memes You have gone wrong my friend. WRONG.

In the midst of these uncertain, turbulent and changing times, I'm sure we're all asking "What is the Spirit saying to the Church?" More than ever in my lifetime I've been deeply focused on Jesus, the Word, Prayer and the Holy Spirit in order to truly hear His voice and be used of Him like never before!
In 1999, while Pastor of Church of the Living Christ in Simi Valley, I gave a series of messages from Revelation 1-3 on the Seven Churches of Asia Minor—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia & Laodicea—entitled, "Churches from the Edge!" Because of persecution in Jerusalem, Christians were scattered to surrounding cities and nations sharing the gospel giving rise to new "gentile" congregations. Then there was Saul's (the Apostle Paul) dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus where he was given a special revelation and specific call to the "Goyim," the Gentiles. Many churches are referred to in more or less detail in the book of Acts and Paul writes letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, , Philippians, Thessalonians. All of this was very new for the "Apostolic" Jewish Leadership in Jerusalem as well as for Paul. There were a number of "councils" in the New Testament addressing the conflicts and challenges facing the "fledgling" church—both Jew and Gentile, the most notable in Acts 15. Both the "Post Pentecost Church" in Jerusalem and the "Gentile Churches" in Asia Minor and around the Mediterranean were at the forefront, on the cutting edge, of the advancement of the Gospel in their world and generation.
The Revelation begins with the Apostle John receiving a clear revelation of Jesus Christ who holds in his right hand the Seven Stars and the Seven Golden Lampstands. He then reveals that the Seven Stars are the Angels of the Seven Churches and the Lampstands are the Seven Churches. The fact that Jesus, through the Apostle John, focuses directly on these seven churches has intrigued theologians and Christians throughout modern history. Some have seen these seven churches in a dispensational context: Ephesus the "loveless" church being the New Testament First Century Church ending up with Laodicea, the "lukewarm" church of our generation. However, these churches existed contemporaneously with each other and, to me, have always represented the "archetypical" or "prototypical" church living in and confronting the social, cultural, economic and spiritual milieu in their geographical location in their day. I have read and reread these chapters for years and back in '99 I saw a pattern that was not only important to each of the Seven Churches but also can help focus, inform, direct and encourage us, the Church of today.
¨ Revelation of Jesus: Each letter begins with a Revelation of Jesus that is specific to that church—an excerpt of the Revelation John saw in Revelation 1.
¨ Recommendation: Jesus then Recommends and encourages the good things He sees in each Church.
¨ Rebuke: Jesus goes to reveal and Rebuke the things where they have drifted from true faith or are lacking in righteous behavior and influence. For two Churches, Smyrna (the Faultless Church) and Philadelphia (the Faithful Church) there is NO rebuke!
¨ Remedy-Repentance: Jesus goes on to give Remedial Steps they can take to correct their doctrine and behavior to once again enter into the favor and blessing He intends for them. The key is Repentance!
In my last Update a few weeks ago I shared that I had been invited / strongly encouraged to travel to Turkey & Israel as part of a Strategic Prayer Initiative of the Transform World 2020 Celebration Challenge—Praying, Encouraging and Raising Up Houses of Prayer throughout the world and networking prayer ministries for greater Informed Intercession and effectiveness. I shared that that I needed over $6000 for this journey. Today I want to give testimony to the Faithfulness of our Father and the Generosity of His People. Yesterday I was able to pay the final $1400 for this Outreach. I give God the Glory and am so Grateful for so many who have contributed to make this possible. To date I've received $5780 with a couple of pledges still to be received! Thank You Jesus & His people!!
From September 5-26 I'll join an International Group of Pastors, Leaders and Intercessors for a very strategic Prayer Journey to Turkey (Asia Minor) and Israel. We will visit each of the Seven Churches in the order listed in Revelation to build altars of Praise, Confession, Repentance & Worship in the model of the Tabernacle of David in Amos 9:11. We will used the Words of Jesus to each of these Churches to humble ourselves as representatives of His Church on earth and "do business" with Father God, through the Blood of Jesus Christ and by the Power of His Holy Spirit believing he might use us to stand in the gap for the Church and for the Nations. In Turkey we will also be visiting and networking with existing Churches the Izmir House of Prayer and other Houses of Prayer and praying at strategic sites in Istanbul. Note: the First Church Council, 325 CE in Nicea began the process of Replacement Theology which Jews, especially Messianic Jews, have been battling against for Centuries. Jesus died to destroy the wall of partition!
In Israel we will attend the Feast of Tabernacles September 19-25 in Jerusalem. We will visit and pray with/for a number of Houses of Prayer throughout Israel and well as praying at Sacred Sites we will be visiting. I will send you an updated copy of our itinerary in both Turkey and Israel before we leave so that, should you desire, you can track with us and pray for and with us. We're praying for a Great Spiritual Awakening throughout the Earth. Isaiah 60! Also, as time and internet access allow, I hope to send photos and updates as we go along to help you participate with us.
In my former Update I also shared that YWAM Belgium, which we founded in Brussels in 1983, is Celebrating 30 years of ministry on October 12th. I'm so grateful for those who have continued and advanced this ministry since our family left in 1990. I'm hoping to spend 10 days to two weeks there to allow time to network with old friends and colleagues, speak in churches and be a blessing to Belgium. It's been over 5 years since my last visit.
I'm still in need of about $2000 for airfare, ground transport, food and lodging in Belgium. To date I haven't asked for money but for Prayer knowing that Father knows my needs, even before I ask, and will provide "according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus." Thank you for your prayers for this ministry!
Many of us, and perhaps you as well, are feeling stretched and challenged like never before. The warfare around this team and Prayer Journey has been extremely intense—often all we can do is be quiet, rest and call out to Jesus for Grace & Endurance. He has proven to be totally faithful and able beyond what we can even believe or hope.

School Services Staff
199. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the number of schools with either a secretary or caretaker directly employed by his Department in 2019; the number in each of the years 2000 to 2018; the criteria that apply to the allocation of these posts; the number of staff employed in schools under the ancillary services grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30341/19]
A Scheme was initiated in 1978/79 for the employment of Clerical Officers in primary and post primary schools under which the school secretaries and caretakers are paid directly through the payroll operated by my Department.
The 1978/79 scheme is being phased out as posts become vacant and no new posts are being created. There are currently a total of 189 primary schools with either a school secretary or caretaker employed under this 1978/79 scheme. This is further broken down to 150 schools employing only a school secretary and 39 schools only employing a caretaker.
Currently there are 153 primary and 110 post primary whole time equivalent Clerical Officers (School Secretaries) employed in schools under the 1978/79 Scheme and paid through my Department's payroll. There are also 86 whole time equivalent primary school caretakers employed under the 1978/79 Scheme and paid through my Department's payroll.
This 1978/79 scheme has been superseded by a more extensive capitation grant Scheme. The current grant scheme was agreed in the context of the Programme for Economic and Social Progress, published in 1991. The majority of primary and voluntary secondary schools now receive assistance to provide for secretarial, caretaking and cleaning services under these grant schemes.
Within the ancillary services grant programme, the level and extent of services provided is a matter for the school authorities who, through the discretion afforded by the scheme, apply their own arrangements for secretarial services as resources permit. My Department does not have any direct role in the pay and conditions under which they are engaged. Given that employment of school secretaries and caretakers is dealt with at local school level, my Department does not have a central record of the number of school secretaries and caretakers funded by the ancillary services grant.
On a related matter the Deputy may be interested to know that today my Department announced an online survey for schools to complete regarding secretaries and caretakers employed by them and paid by grant funding. These surveys are being undertaken in response to a pay claim that has recently been tabled by the FÓRSA union.
The surveys will issue to over 3,500 individual schools. Given the scale of the task and the fact that schools are in the summer holiday period, my Department expects to have analysis from the surveys available in early October.
The closing date is Wednesday 4 September and my Department is encouraging all relevant schools to complete the surveys before that date.

Buckhead Office Tower Earns LEED Silver
ATLANTA-The 34-story Atlanta Plaza becomes the submarket's first existing high-rise to be certified.
By Carl Cronan | October 29, 2009 at 05:26 PM
ATLANTA-Buckhead's 34-story Atlanta Plaza office tower has been granted LEED Silver certification for existing buildings by the US Green Building Council. It is the first class A high-rise in the prestigious submarket to achieve the certification.
The 620,000-square-foot building, which opened in 1985 at 950 E. Paces Ferry Road, is owned by the California State Teachers' Retirement System and managed by CB Richard Ellis, which worked with CalSTRS investment advisor CBRE Investors on sustainable practices. Various eco-friendly measures were added to the building, such as single-stream recycling for paper, plastic, aluminum and glass, as well as plumbing and lighting retrofits.
"Sustainability has been a primary focus for the building management team," says Marcy Moneypenny, managing director of CBRE's Asset Services Division. "This certification could not have been achieved without support from the tenants, the building owner and our service partner providers."
Atlanta Plaza is currently 70% occupied, with asking rents posted at $28 per square foot. The building received its certification shortly after Two Alliance Center in Buckhead was awarded LEED gold status as a new 20-story office building.

A Creator is required to assign a maximum redemption value per ride or other single Uber platform transaction (each an "Uber Platform Transaction") (which cannot exceed $250.00 USD per Uber Platform Transaction) for each Uber Guest Pass and to assign a maximum number of Uber Platform Transactions that can be performed using each Uber Guest Pass (which cannot exceed 10 single Platform Transactions). A Creator is also required to set an expiration date for the Uber Guest Passes ordered. Such expiration date can be no longer than 7 days following the date of a Guest Pass order.
Creators must have an active Uber account with at least one (1) valid payment method in app to order any Uber Guest Passes and for Uber Guest Passes to be redeemed. Uber may suspend or deactivate any or all Uber Guest Passes ordered with a payment method in app if it determines in its sole discretion that such payment method is fraudulent, expired, cancelled, not valid or unable to access funds at least equal to the aggregate maximum potential value of all Uber Guest Passes ordered by Creator. Uber may also deactivate or suspend use of Uber Guest Passes at its sole discretion. Creator may not order in any single day Uber Guest Passes with an aggregate potential value of more than $12,500.00 USD. Uber may change these limits or apply other limits to individual orders and redemptions of Uber Guest Passes in its discretion, and as permitted by applicable law.
Upon submission of Creator's order for Uber Guest Passes, Uber will determine the aggregate maximum potential value of all Uber Guest Passes ordered in such transaction ("Aggregate Maximum Value") and will seek an authorisation from the issuer of Creator's chosen payment method for up to 100% of the Aggregate Maximum Value. Uber will not charge Creator for the Aggregate Maximum Value at the time of such Uber Guest Pass order and Creator acknowledges that no prepaid value exists with respect to Uber Guest Passes. By submitting an order for Uber Guest Passes, however, Creator agrees to pay Uber up to the Aggregate Maximum Value of the Uber Guest Passes immediately following the end of the validity period for the ordered Uber Guest Passes.
Upon Creator's submission of the Uber Guest Pass order transaction, Uber will charge Creator a 2.5% non-refundable Administrative Fee on the Aggregate Maximum Value of the Uber Guest Passes ordered. Such Administrative Fee is entirely non-refundable, regardless of whether such Uber Guest Passes are redeemed.
The Administrative Fee is inclusive of Dutch Value Added Tax (if any) and exclusive of any foreign taxes (if any) for which the Creator is liable including, but not limited to, Value Added Tax, Sales Tax, consumption tax, withholding tax and any other taxes similar to the aforementioned.
Upon Creator's completion of the order, the number of Uber Guest Passes selected by Creator will be emailed to the email address specified in Creator's Uber account. Uber Guest Passes are only available in this format.
Following the expiration date and time for any Uber Guest Passes or Uber's election to suspend and/or deactivate further use of any Uber Guest Passes, Uber will charge the payment method associated with Creator's Uber account for the total Uber Guest Pass value actually redeemed and used by Recipients of such expired Guest Passes.
Recipient must have an active account with Uber with at least one (1) valid payment method in app and must redeem the Uber Guest Pass code in the Uber app or on https://clients.uber.com/#!/promotions to activate such Uber Guest Pass for the Recipient's Uber account.
Uber Guest Passes may not be redeemed for use with the Uber's product currently referred to as "UberTAXI".
Uber Guest Passes cannot be redeemed for goods or services outside of the Uber platform.
Once redeemed by the Recipient, Uber Guest Pass value is not transferrable to other Uber accounts or users.
Uber Guest Passes cannot be redeemed for cash, except as required by law.
Recipients and Creator will not receive any value or credit for any unused portions of Uber Guest Passes.
All Uber Guest Pass values will expire and be unavailable immediately following the end date and time selected by the Creator for each applicable Uber Guest Pass. If any Uber Guest Pass promotion codes have not been redeemed within the time specified by the Creator for each applicable Uber Guest Pass, the Uber Guest Pass promotion codes will expire and no longer be redeemable.
The Uber Guest Passes are only valid for use in the country which they are ordered for.
For the avoidance of doubt, transportation services are deemed to be consumed by the Recipient, being the Uber user who completes a ride using an Uber Guest Pass promotion code.
When an Uber Guest Pass promotion code is redeemed by a Recipient, Uber will charge all Qualifying Platform Transactions requested via the Recipient's Uber account to Creator 's Uber account, up to the maximum value per transaction (e.g., a ride) selected by Creator. A "Qualifying Platform Transaction" means a transaction requested by a Recipient (up to the number of transactions per Uber Guest Pass selected by Creator) that is completed within the validity period selected by Creator .
If a Total Fare (defined below) exceeds the Uber Guest Pass value for an individual transaction, the balance will be charged to a payment method on file with the Recipient's Uber account.
"Total Fare" is the payment charged for the actual value of Uber rides redeemed by the Recipient from third party Uber partner-drivers, who are independent contractors providing transportation services using Uber's proprietary technology. Total Fare charged does not constitute a payment for any services provided by Uber BV.
Uber Guest Pass value will be applied to Total Fare(s) billed in the corresponding currency. Example: Uber promotion code value in EUR will only be applied to fares billed in EUR.
Fare adjustments on transactions paid for with Uber Guest Passes will be issued as Uber credit to the Recipient, but the Creator will still be charged the full original fee associated with the Qualifying Platform Transaction. In no event will Creator receive Uber credit for transactions paid for with Uber Guest Passes.
UberEVENTS does not disclose specifics nor details of the individual rides redeemed/taken by any of the Recipients.
Creators will not be eligible to receive an invoice for the transportation services enjoyed by any Recipient for which the Recipient utilised (partially) the Uber Guest promotion code.
In purchasing Uber Guest Passes, Creators acknowledge that where VAT/GST applies to any transportation services, they will not be entitled to claim and/or input VAT/GST.
Unless otherwise agreed by Uber, Uber guest passes and the resulting promotion codes may be used for personal purposes only, and may not be resold or used in connection with any marketing, advertising, promotional or commercial activities, including, without limitation, via websites, Internet advertisements, email, telemarketing, direct mail, newspaper and magazine advertisements, and radio and television broadcasts.
Creator is responsible for lost, stolen, or misused Uber Guest Passes unless otherwise required by law.
Uber reserves the right to close accounts, adjust balances and/or request alternative forms of payment if an Uber Guest Pass promotion code is fraudulently obtained or used.
Uber may cease offering the Uber Guest Pass programme at any time and for any reason.

Five steps for women to reduce money worries and rebuild resilience

Some 29% of women often worry about their debts, compared to 23% of men, according to a new survey. Photo: Getty
Women were hit hard by the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with more on furlough for longer, in part because the industries that employ large numbers of women were strongly affected.
Women also took on greater childcare responsibilities when schools were closed, according to research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Females also tend to earn less than their male counterparts, with the gender pay gap in the UK standing at 19%, according to separate research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).
Having lower incomes for longer during the pandemic severely dented women's resilience and they were far more likely to be concerned about their finances than men, a new survey from Hargreaves Lansdown found.
More than a third (37%) of women said they're either just about getting by or struggling, compared to 29% of men, according to the survey of 10,000 people.

Some 28% of women often worry about paying bills, compared to 20% of men, and 19% of women are concerned about covering the rent or mortgage, compared to 16% of men.
Here are five steps for women to reduce money worries and rebuild resilience from the experts at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Control your debt
Some 29% of women often worry about their debts, compared to 23% of men, the survey found. Almost one in 10 (9%) women said they agonise about their debt levels every day.
Women were more likely to have borrowed during the pandemic than men, and they were more likely to have borrowed in excess of £1,000. Those who already had debt were more likely to have borrowed more, according to ONS statistics.
The first step to controlling your debt is figuring out where you stand and how much you owe.
"Then you'll need to take a good look at your spending to see what you can realistically cut, in order to make repayments. The chances are you've done the easy things like shopping around for better deals, so there may be more difficult lifestyle choices to make." say the experts.
You can also look into what help might be available to you, such as benefits.

"If the problems are bad enough for you to be missing payments, speak to your lender sooner rather than later, to see what repayments you can afford and what they'll agree to.
"This will affect your credit score, but not as badly as if you just miss payments," said Hargreaves Lansdown.
This can be stressful, so if you're struggling to face this you can ask debt charities like National Debtline and StepChange to talk to lenders for you and help you find a solution.
Build your emergency savings safety net
"Everyone should have enough savings to cover three to six months' worth of essential expenses in an easy access savings account while they're working age," said Sarah Coles, senior personal finance analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown.
However, 28% of women said their savings would last for less than a month if their income stopped, and around half would last less than three months, the survey found.
This was highlighted during the pandemic as the most common concern for women now is that they haven't been able to save for emergencies during the crisis, with 41% of stating they often worry about this and 11% said they worry about it every day.

Once you've got any debts under control you can redirect spare cash into a savings account on payday each month — before you have a chance to spend it.
Save for later life
Getting to grips with your pension and making sure you're building a large enough pot for retirement will help protect you when you finish work, say the experts.
All employers must provide a workplace pension scheme. You will be automatically enrolled if you are aged between 22 and the state pension age and you earn over £10,000 per year.
You and your employer must pay a percentage of your earnings into your workplace pension scheme. How much you pay and what counts as earnings depend on the pension scheme your employer has chosen.
Protect your family
This might not be your first thought when it comes to financial resilience, but this is an important step if you have people who depend on you.

It's worth thinking about life insurance as well as insurance that would protect your income if you were to become too ill to work.
Writing a will can also provide peace of mind, say the experts

Musk added in a separate tweet that rumours around his travel plans online were becoming a "security issue," in response to an apology from the account owner who first posted the wrong travel date, Sawyer Merritt. Musk said last year he expected the Berlin factory to have received its licence to begin mass production of its Model Y cars by December, but bureaucratic hurdles and an ongoing court case over the factory's water use have delayed the process.

Shell to enter Australian electricity market as ERM shareholders agree to sell
Michael Mazengarb 8 November 2019 0
Global energy giant Shell is set to emerge as a new player in the Australian electricity market after shareholders in energy company ERM Power overwhelmingly approved a takeover offer from the company.
In August, ERM Power announced that it had received an offer from Shell to acquire the company in a deal worth A$617 million. The takeover offer was unanimously supported by the ERM board, which said the deal represented good value for shareholders.
ERM Power is one of Australia's largest electricity retailers, with a dedicated business in providing electricity supplies to commercial and industrial customers. While ERM does not offer services to residential customers, it currently sits amongst the top five largest electricity retailers by volume of sales.
ERM also owns interests in two gas-fired generators located in Queensland and Western Australia.
Shell Energy Australia offered to purchase the ASX-listed ERM Power at $2.42 per share, which is a substantial premium to the price, ERM shares were trading prior to the offer, at around $1.70.
ERM shareholders will receive a special dividend of 8.5 cents per share upon the sale of the company, with the remaining consideration paid through the purchase of outstanding shares at $2.335.
It's a fascinating development in the Australian energy market, represents a key move by a global energy company that has predominantly focused its business on the oil and gas sectors. Shell has committed to investing US$2 billion a year in building its presence in the electricity sector, including in technologies and projects that generate clean electricity as part of its 'New Energies' initiative.
The acquisition of an electricity retailer by Shell highlights underpins the rapid shift towards the electrification of energy use, particularly with the emergence of electric vehicles. It follows Shell's acquisition of German battery manufacturer Sonnen earlier this year.
In anticipation of a disruption to the global energy system, also driven by the emergence of affordable sources of renewable electricity, Shell has expanded its operations into the electricity sector and has already made similar acquisitions in Europe and Northern America.
"This acquisition aligns with Shell's global ambition to expand our integrated power business and builds on Shell Energy Australia's existing gas marketing and trading capability," Shell Australia's country chair Zoe Yujnovich said at the time the offer was announced.
"ERM will become our core power and energy solutions platform and this acquisition is a significant step forward in growing Shell's integrated power business in Australia. Upon completion, we look forward to welcoming ERM's staff and customers to Shell."
The takeover of ERM Power is a significant windfall for founder Trevor St Baker, who owns a 27.4% stake in ERM Power, worth approximately $170 million under the takeover offer.
The deal adds to St Baker's rapidly growing net worth after the businessman benefited from the sale of the NSW government of the Vales Point power station for $1 million. St Baker led the consortium that purchased Vales Point, with the power station now valued at over $700 million.
The takeover remains subject to approval by the Supreme Court of New South Wales, which must approve the sale under the Corporations Act, but company directors expect this approval to be granted as early as next week.

Michael West's tax dodgers list includes ERM. Over the previous 3 years ERM made $7 billion, however their taxable income was $27 million, the poor dears were so unprofitable because they had to make investments in the US market.
Now they have sold out to a non-Australian and the benefits of that massive flight of capital vanishes into the aether. $7 billion investment sold off for $617 million WTF?
Ours is a FIFO economy : foreign investors fly in and Australian capital flies out.

The Mediterranean style has many influences, depending on where we recount it. Each country located in the Mediterranean was imposed with certain basic elements. Greeks like the colour white because it reflects sunlight. Italians are so earthbound that their interior floors have terracotta tiles. Spain has homes where we find hand-carved furniture, wrought-iron inserts and colourful ceramic tiles.
Grace your house with huge shower rooms—After a morning at the beach, a refreshing shower is always welcome. It is interesting to have a water outflow amongst the marble plaques on the floor.
Use a natural colour for the floor—Interior designers like the clean lines of the furniture. It's the colour that makes a fine contrast with the flooring and blue accents. The luminaires are simple yet ubiquitous.
Designing the dining area is customary—Here, the wooden beams of the ceiling are powerful, yet visually attractive. Now the floor is stone with ceramic tiles. Although not necessary, they must be a little roughened or finished.
Include a fireplace—Interior designers find it quite interesting when they see a space with a fireplace, a blend of classic and new. You can use your home and dining chairs and table that you can accessorise with great candlesticks and the space around you can decorate with mirrors. The mirror frames are arabesques and the colours must be those of terracotta and sea.
Use earth tones in decorating the living room—A large living room is where you can linger all afternoon. We bet you are already familiar with the defining element of style: natural, both colour and texture. The sofas and ceiling and floor are white and should stand out. The traditional influence is seen in the closet with built-carved doors.


She was just three months old when a bloody conflict consumed her country, leaving about 800,000 people dead in 100 days. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were also fleeing to neighbouring countries.
Chances of her survival were almost nil, but she is alive today, and proudly wears her country's flag and a blue helmet – working as a medical doctor and peacekeeper in South Sudan, now still emerging from a protracted conflict.
"As I grow up, I get to understand what happened," says Dr Kalingirwa. "It's a really sad history to have – having some parts of the family not being able to know them or see them – just seeing them in pictures, is sad," she says.
"As we go forward our hearts are strong … I would really like to appreciate and thank my parents for whatever they did to protect me and my siblings," she says, as she stares into space as if imagining what could have otherwise befallen her family.
Lieutenant Desire Mukunzi was also born that same year, in May. The conflict was at its height then.
"My parents survived, and they helped me go to school. Not everyone had that chance. Many died, but I thank those that survived for the work they have done," says the helicopter pilot, who flies MI17 choppers across the heartland of South Sudan, often ferrying troops and supplies.
"I feel sad, I feel unhappy – for my homeland to have that bad history, but from it, we got the strength to move forward. It's a chance to start a new," he says.
Both Dr Kalingirwa and Lieutenant Mukunzi are a generation that grew up under harsh circumstances but found their bearings from their surviving parents.
They now work in conflict-affected South Sudan as peacekeepers, and they say they are fortunate to have this opportunity.
"I would like to give hope to the people of South Sudan, and as we have a theme in Rwanda of remembering, uniting and renewing, it should really help them and give them a picture of what can come out of such a time – and of being united as people of South Sudan so that they can build their country for the future," says Dr Kalingirwa.
With South Sudan and Rwanda on their minds, Dr Kalingirwa and Lieutenant Mukunzi, both joined in a big procession called "A walk to Remember" to commemorate 25 years after the genocide against the Tutsi that grabbed world headlines.
Together with hundreds of other Rwandan peacekeepers, Rwandan civilians, and other nationalities, they walked as music played from speakers, some holding hands, while others sang or walked in silence side by side or catching up with colleagues and friends.
Among those walking in the crowd was Janet Mutamuliza, a Rwandan businesswoman who joined in the ceremony, walking silently, and pensively. She was 17 when the conflict happened. Her parents did not survive the genocide and most of her friends also perished.
Her name Mutamuliza means "don't make her cry", and she is almost in tears as she remembers 25 years ago, unable to speak about what happened to her parents.
Through a translator she said: "During the genocide, no one imagined they could survive. Death was everywhere. People were dying everywhere," said the mother of one.
Janet's message of love was echoed by South Sudanese Emeritus Bishop Paride Taban who is famed for the South Sudan's Peace Village. He was involved in mediating peace in Rwanda years ago.
"I was sent in 1994 to console the people of Rwanda," he said, adding that through the blood that the country had shed, the "seed of good things, the seed of unity, the seed of reconciliation and forgiveness," was able to germinate, and be an example to the rest of the world.
"The scripture says again, unless the seed falls to the ground, it cannot produce fruit. The seeds of the blood of Rwanda produced fruit, which now is an example for the whole world, especially for Rwanda, Sudan and South Sudan," said the Bishop, while praising Rwanda for the progress it has made since its dark history.
Reminding Rwandans on the need to continue with national building, the Rwandan High Commissioner spoke to the diaspora urging them to be good examples of each other to South Sudanese.
"It's a moment to pay tribute to those who perished in the genocide. We also stand in solidarity with the survivors as we step up the fight against the genocide ideology. It is a cause which all humanity should associate with. It is a moral imperative to fight the genocide ideology," said Colonel James Burabyo, who is accredited to South Sudan with Residence in Kampala.
Speaking at the occasion, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan Deputy Force Commander, said there were lessons for all to learn.
"We stand in solidarity with the Rwandan people as we continue to forge a common future in the spirit of reconciliation and unity, said Deputy Force Commander, Major General Bayarsaikhan Dashdondog. "Rwanda today has seen massive transformation in terms of political stability, economic growth perhaps most importantly in social healing," he said. "We can take example as to what may arise from such a situation as we continue to protect civilians and build durable peace in South Sudan," he added.
At the ceremony, a large torch and several candles were lit – with light being passed from colleague to colleague – a symbol of life and hope, and a new spirit for the future of Rwanda.
"We have to unite as Rwandese, and renew as we build our country," said Dr Kalingirwa, in her role of Master of Ceremony, to the hundreds present, who wore symbolic grey and white ribbons and scarfs.

I see this autonomic conflict so often in my somatic therapy practice. When clients are describing their stressors, they often feel both ready to flee (sympathetic) and shut down (too much parasympathetic) at the same time. Somatic therapy is so effective precisely because it works with the physiological reactions of both fight/flight and freeze/shut down coupling. When a person's body-mind system has become habituated to pressing on the gas and brakes simultaneously, symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, headaches, hot flashes or cold flashes, as well as feeling disconnected from others can easily ensue. Carefully uncoupling the sympathetic and parasympathetic reactions, and their physical counterparts, can create lasting shifts in the nervous system, leading to a fuller and more satisfying life.
