Former England bowler Gough emerges as candidate to be Yorkshire chief
Aggiunto da celex il 4 dicembre 2021
Ex-England fast bowler Darren Gough emerges as surprise contender for director of cricket role at Yorkshire… with talkSPORT analyst considered ideal fit after club's ENTIRE coaching staff were sacked after racism storm

Ex-England man spent 15 years on playing staff at Headingley across two spells

Darren Gough has emerged as a surprise candidate to take over as director of cricket at Yorkshire following confirmation on Friday of Posta sportiva's exclusive story that the club's coaching staff have been sacked.
Gough, 51, who has forged a successful media career, notably as a sports presenter and cricket analyst on talkSPORT, has retained ambitions to coach since retiring in 2008.
Having spent 15 years on the playing staff at Headingley across two spells, the former England fast bowler is understood to be viewed by the new Yorkshire hierarchy, led by chairman Lord Patel, as the kind of character the club require as a figurehead.

In modo cruciale, Forse, he has an excellent relationship with Azeem Rafiq, the whistleblower whose allegations of institutional racism led to sweeping changes at Yorkshire. The pair both come from Barnsley and Gough offered Rafiq support earlier this year after his revelations came to light.
Gough's ability to inspire, as both a unifying force and as one of Yorkshire's most successful internationals, appears to make him the ideal fit despite his lack of experience and time out of the game.
His arrival would represent the first step of a complete rebuild of the cricket department.
Director of cricket Martyn Moxon and first-team coach Andrew Gale were the highest-profile casualties of the 16 sackings, which included all senior coaches plus a six-strong physio and medical team. Yorkshire now face the threat of legal claims after the 'significant change', which Lord Patel deemed necessary 'to regain trust'.

The decisions, Egli ha detto, 'were difficult to make but are in the best interests of the club'.
Ha aggiunto: 'Without making important changes to how we are run, we cannot move on from the past to become a culture which is progressive and inclusive. We want to make Yorkshire a place for everyone, from all backgrounds. Per farlo, we need to rebuild our culture and instil positive values. We are determined to learn from the mistakes of the past to become a club which people can trust.
'We have a huge rebuilding job to do but we are confident that this heralds a step forward towards a brighter future.'
None of the first-team squad have faced sanction, although the revelation of the mass departures was said by one source to have caused emotional chaos among the players.

Some are understood to feel so upset about developments that they were considering their own futures on Friday — a large number are in Australia, either representing England, England Lions or playing grade cricket.
Insiders say it is no coincidence the blood-letting has included all of those who signed a letter sent to the club's executives, expressing their distress that they were facing unfair attacks and challenging the perceived failure to stand up to Rafiq's 'mission to bring down the club'.
The letter was also critical of the apologies made to Rafiq after an investigation upheld seven of his 43 allegations of racism and bullying during his two spells at the club.

Adesso, con il 16 losing their jobs without pay-offs, Yorkshire potentially face a raft of unfair or wrongful dismissal claims.
Yorkshire are saddled with huge debts which touched £19million at the start of the year and can ill afford further financial hits.
As part of ECB sanctions in relation to Rafiq's claims, they have been suspended as hosts of international cricket. It followed a mass exodus of sponsors. The combination of the two represent more than half of Yorkshire's projected £13m income for the year.
Alongside Gough, other names in the frame for the new set-up are understood to include Leicestershire's head coach Paul Nixon and ex-England bowling coach Ottis Gibson.

Colonel Sanders Makes a Bold Comeback in KFC's First Campaig...
KFC has brought brand icon Colonel Harland Sanders back to UK TV for the first time in over 40 years, in a major ad campaign marking the end of its chicken shortage crisis.
The return of the Colonel, who founded KFC before becoming the brand mascot, symbolises the fast-food chain's restored strength after a disruption with its chicken supplier shut down stores across the UK earlier this year.
A TV ad by Mother debut during ITV's Britain's Got Talent and BT Sport's Uefa Champions League Final coverage.
The spot references the crisis with news footage from restaurant closures, while using archival clips of the Colonel and showing him make a dramatic entrance.
Directed by Radical Friend through Partizan, the ad features the founder's own words about determination in the face of challenges: "My philosophy – don't quit. Even in tough times, I'd always give the best there was in me. And you'll always get the best in return."
Along with the film, the campaign will include press advertising that celebrates the Colonel's grit, highlighting that it took 1,009 attempts to perfect his chicken recipe.
Outdoor ads depicting artwork of the mascot were created with American artist Greg Gossel, who specialises in screen-printing and collage of pop culture subjects. Documentary-style content on social media will explore the Colonel's backstory.
During the chicken crisis KFC ran a print ad apologising to customers, with the letters of its name rearranged to spell "FCK." This new campaign takes a similar approach by acknowledging the brand's trouble with a sense of humour and attitude.
The "FCK" ad won two Pencils at the D&AD Awards this year.

The Department of Immigration in Beitbridge has put in place mechanisms aimed at dealing with congestion at the country's busiest border post in anticipation of an increase in the volume of traffic during the festive period. Assistant regional immigration manager in charge of Beitbridge Border Post, Mr Charles Gwede, said they have since held a series of meetings with key stakeholders and their South African counterparts to address congestion at the border.
"We have started preparing for the festive period in anticipation of a huge influx of travellers and all necessary strategies are now in place to help speed up the clearance of people during the festive period," he said. "We are suspending leave and off-days for staff between 15 December and 16 January next year.
"As part of our decongestion drive we will scramble our shifts to maximise on manpower during the normal and extra peak days. In fact, starting from 15 December we expect a huge influx of travellers hence between 14 and 17 December, 21 and 24 December and 4 to 7 January, we will dissolve our shifts to ensure that we have more officers per shift who would effectively manage the queues and speed up the clearance process," he said.
Mr Gwede said they were expecting 20 officers from other stations to beef up the local staff and ensure that all check points and counters were adequately manned. Beitbridge Border Post has a staff complement of 47 officers and support staff.
"As border stakeholders, we held several inter-border meetings with our South African counterparts to discuss and explore ways and strategies aimed at dealing with congestion during extra peak periods.
As part of their decongestion strategy, Mr Gwede said they would categorise travellers and create more counters to reduce queues. According to statistics, immigration officials at the border handled 73 825 travellers between Monday and Wednesday on both arrival and departure sides.
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) spokesperson, Mr Canisio Mudzimu, said they would deploy relief officers to Beitbridge Border Post to beef up the local staff and help speed up the customs clearance process. "We are geared up in terms of facilitating the smooth movement of both human and vehicular traffic passing through Beitbridge Border Post during the festive season. We will deploy extra officers from less busy stations to Beitbridge Border Post during the festive period and to assist in border operations," he said.
Beitbridge Border Post requires at least 247 customs officers to man it. The border post, which is the country's busiest inland port of entry, has an establishment 141 officers. Mr Mudzimu said they would create separate traffic lanes to cater for tourists, returning residents, private motorists, commercial, buses and pedestrians to speed up the flow of traffic and reduce congestion.
Touts and bogus clearing agents continue to find their way into the customs yard where they would swindle unsuspecting travellers of their money under the guise of offering assistance. Beitbridge is the busiest inland port of entry in sub-Saharan Africa, which handles a huge volume of both human and vehicular traffic passing though daily. Commercial trucks destined for East and Central African countries such as Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia also pass through the border post.
Spare a thought for the informal traders in this region. The terminology is also somewhat humorous, if not 'offensive' to an overly liberal mind – democratic South Africans in particular.
Trade along the Rwanda-DRC border is still going strong, although with some difficulty, despite the ongoing political tensions between the two neighbors.The Rwanda Focus visited Gisenyi, from where it has been reported that several Rwandan civilians who have attempted to cross into DRC for business have allegedly been arrested and tortured.
"You can't go in there but if you insist, then be ready to die or to be tortured by the authorities in Congo," said Safina Mukankusi, a cross-border trader. According to locals here, anyone with links to Rwanda in form of passport, looks or language is a target for the Congolese authorities. The irony is Gisenyi is full of Congolese civilians loaded with all sorts of merchandise bought from Rwandan markets which they then carry to the DRC.
It's also here that massive petty smuggling takes place. "There are so many 'fat' women around here," said a Rwandan customs official, explaining they are stuffed with several garments in which they then hide commodities such as alcohol and sell them on the Rwandan side at a profit. "Some make more than 20 trips per da,y often smuggling a single commodity per journey… but these are poor people who are looking for a meal from their petty deals," the official revealed. From the proceeds from smuggled goods, the Congolese then buy food and all sorts of stuff which they take back home to sell.
With the current instability however, there's a new development. "Many Congo-men are coming to sleep here at night and go back home during day for fear of attacks," said Fidel, a resident of Gisenyi. He says most of them sleep on the streets while others have rented some cheap houses in which they spend the night, often in groups.
Looking at the people here, it's quite hard to imagine that their country is home to some of the world's most valuable minerals such as gold and diamonds. Bribes and other corrupt dealings are the quickest ways to get a service done according to Rwandan traders. "Once they know you have money, they will detain you until you part with some of it, it's mostly those that don't have anything who are tortured," explained Laurent Makubu, who claims he has been detained but bribed the Congolese police with $15 to secure his freedom.
The South African government has reaffirmed that the green barcoded identity (ID) book will be phased out and replaced with a new smartcard ID after Cabinet endorsed a Department of Home Affairs (DHA) pilot project to test the hardware and software used to produce the cards. The new card would be phased in over a period of about four years and would embrace a contactless chip, which Cabinet said was based on international trends and standards.
The smartcard solution would also be integrated with the deployment of a new National Identity System that would digitally capture biometric and biographical details of all South Africans and foreign nationals living inside South Africa. Home Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma reported recently that the integrated system would be linked to systems for movement control, permitting, as well as asylum seeker and refugee management.
The DHA planned to issue some 2 000 smartcard ID's during the pilot phase, which was unveiled to lawmakers earlier in the month. The pilot phase would prioritise people applying for IDs for the first time and was likely to cost about R5-million.
The first issue of the smartcard would be free of charge, with the cost implications for reissuance yet to be determined.The test phase would enable the department to test its systems and enable government to procure the required machinery to produce the volume of cards that will be required to phase out the green barcoded ID books. No indication was given as to when a tender would be issued for the procurement of the full-scale system, or what the solution was likely to cost.
In an ongoing effort to reduce wait times at the International Bridge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations will pilot a project to bring vehicles to the inspection booths in less time.
The stop signs will be placed in all three upper lanes and will shorten the "pull up" distance to the booth. This allows vehicles to queue up quicker. "Efficacy in movement is paramount to this project's success. We are always trying to improve the flow of legitimate traffic while enforcing the laws of the United States," said Patrick Wilson, CBP Sault Ste. Marie Assistant Port Director.
The Sault Ste Marie port of entry has a unique design that separates commercial traffic from car traffic, creating an upper and lower plaza. The focus of this project will be on the upper plaza only and will not affect the flow of traffic on the lower plaza.
Stop signs will be placed in all three upper lanes beginning Friday, April 20. The stop signs will shorten the "pull up" distance to the booth. This allows vehicles to queue up quicker. The stop signs will be placed near Radio Frequency Identification readers where the traveling public can display their Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative RFID-enabled document to pre-populate the officer's computer screens.
CBP is testing the theory that they can process more travelers each hour by reducing the amount of time it takes each vehicle to get to the inspecting officer. This pilot project will incorporate a two-stop sign process. Upon entering the upper plaza, vehicles will be required to stop at the first existing stop sign. As the vehicle ahead clears, travelers will move to the next new stop sign and present their ID to the RFID reader. Once the vehicle at the inspection booth clears, travelers will proceed to the inspection booth.
Vehicles with trailers/campers are asked to use the lower plaza lanes so as not to impede the functionality of installed equipment. LED signage will be adjusted to notify motorists of this change.

When a building or any project is under repair or construction, workers are often required to work at a great height. Scaffolding is used in such situations with the help of which people and material are lifted to the specific height. Scaffold hire services, offered by several companies, are quite in demand in South Africa, especially in construction projects. Steel scaffolding is quite popular due to the many advantages of steel as a material for scaffolding. One of the main reasons for using steel scaffolding is its reliability and availability.
1. It is Weatherproof: Scaffolding structures are generally used for prolonged periods. Especially in case of construction of a building, which continues for months, it is vital that the scaffolding used is strong and sturdy. For instance, a project has started in the summer. Now, construction on this project will ideally continue for months. This means that the scaffolding structure will have to go through heat, rain and cold respectively. Steel in drastic and extreme situations like these, keeps the structure in great condition, without any corrosion or damage. No matter how the weather is, steel scaffolding stands strong.
2. It Can Be Extensively Modified: This is undoubtedly one of the most significant benefits of steel scaffolding. Steel is a material which can very easily be modified into various shapes and designs. This very feature differentiates it from any other material. This flexibility also allows steel scaffolding structures to be set up on extreme heights. Different kinds of events have different scaffolding demands. Steel because of its malleability is ideal for any situation, whether it is being used in an ordinary event, in a stadium or in a high-rise construction project.
3. It Does Not Harm the Environment: This is ethically the most important benefit of using steel for scaffolding purposes. For instance, timber which is another very commonly used material in scaffolding is extracted through deforestation. Trees need to be cut down to fulfil such scaffolding needs. This, in turn, affects the environment to a large extent. Steel, on the other hand, does not only save the environment but benefits it too. Steel as a material can be recycled which, prevents them from causing any kind of pollution.
4. It Creates an Increase in Efficiency: Steel scaffolding is extremely easy to set up and dismantle. This feature allows the workers to reduce time spent setting up the scaffolding. No time is wasted in having the scaffolding set-up or having it dismantled.
5. It stands strong for a long time: Steel as a material is very strong when compared to other materials. This keeps scaffolding structures sturdy and rigid for an elongated period. This means that once set up they do not require any kind of adjustment or tightening even after months from its initial instalment.
It is extremely important to have a strong and reliable foundation. Thus, for increased operational effectiveness and to ensure the safety of workers, steel scaffolding is the right choice.

The Shawal Rifles is a paramilitary regiment, forming part of the Pakistani Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North). The Rifles are tasked with defending the border with Afghanistan and assisting with law enforcement in the districts adjacent to the border. The regiment had a 2020/21 budget of .

History
The regiment was raised in 1972 as the North West Waziristan Scouts but this was changed to the shorter current title. The name alludes to the Shawal Valley in North Waziristan. In August 1973 the regiment was posted to the abandoned Razmak Camp, and work was carried out to restore the military base.

In the early 21st century, the Rifles have been involved in anti-drugs operations. In 2011-2012, the unit received a number of drug testing kits to assist in their work against drug smuggling.

In October 2017 a vehicle of the regiment was attacked in Razmak, resulting in the deaths of three personnel and injuries to a further seven.

I know where you're coming from with that suggestion but that would make him too much of a speed demon which he isn't. He can be fast with the ball but he usually slows down a bid and doesn't use speed excessively to beat his man like Costea does for example.
is he on the way to a 'bigger' club?

quite a few clubs are interested in him and Arges probably won't be able to keep him. Steaua, Dinamo, some german BuLi clubs such as Schalke and Hertha are known to keep an eye on him though.
True but I still think he is faster than 83 in DS would make him.
84 MAYBE but anything higher and I'll have to improve other guys such as Costea for example.
I would be cool with 84 he can be quite pacey with it and loes very little speed.
Also, I know he's "laid back" as a midfielder but I think you should give him a slightly higher aggression because of the runs he usually has towards the box or those dribblings he tries. Even with *Dribbling, I'd like to see him him a tad more offensive.. but aggression 79 tops, I'd go with 78.
blah... he said the same about other players too and finally ended up not buying them because they were too expensive.
I would raise his SA by 2.

Norway eases up on travel restrictions
Published July 8, 2020 · Updated September 9, 2020
Imported cases of COVID-19 still the greatest risk for a new flare-up
Photo: Annika Byrde / NTB scanpix
"We have to find a balance that keeps us as safe as possible and minimizes the risk of infection," said Prime Minister Erna Solberg in a press conference on the coronavirus and Norway's travel restrictions.
The Norwegian government is planning to allow people residing in the Schengen area/European Economic Area to enter Norway starting July 15, provided that they live in a country or region where the level of infection is acceptable. As of the same date, quarantine will no longer be required on entry from these countries and regions. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will no longer advise against travel to countries and regions that are excepted from the rules for quarantine upon entry.
Assessments of the infection situation will be based on the criteria already set for the Nordic countries, but these can be adjusted as necessary.
"There are some countries where the number of cases is rising rapidly, and the situation is unstable in many places. With a low rate of infection at home, imported cases of infection probably represent the greatest risk of a new flare-up in Norway. We have seen new outbreaks, often local and unpredictable, in various parts of Europe and the rest of the world. On the other hand, we cannot keep Norway's borders closed forever. We have to find a balance that keeps us as safe as possible and minimizes the risk of infection," said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
The criteria for removing travel restrictions between Norway and the other Nordic countries include the incidence of COVID-19 (i.e., new cases) relative to population size, the number of people recently admitted to intensive care, and the proportion of positive tests. Other criteria relate to testing and infection-tracing systems, and information for people traveling.
"Even though the ministry is making exceptions from its travel advice as of July 15 for the countries recommended by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, this should not be taken as encouragement to travel. Anyone planning to travel abroad must make sure they know what restrictions and infection control rules apply in the country they are visiting," said Minister of Foreign Affairs Ine Eriksen Søreide.
If there is an increase in the spread of infection so that a country or region no longer meets the criteria, the requirement to go into quarantine after entering Norway may be reintroduced.
Measures to reduce the spread of infection
"The Institute of Public Health has been asked to draw up a list of countries and regions where the infection level is acceptable. This will be updated once every two weeks, and will include the Nordic countries. We have also asked the Norwegian Directorate of Health to propose ways of avoiding an increase in the spread of infection when we lift some of the quarantine restrictions," said Minister of Health and Care Services Bent Høie.
The rules on quarantine upon entry to Norway will continue to apply after July 15 for people who are residents in countries or regions within the Schengen area/EEA where the level of infection is too high, or in countries that cannot provide sufficient documentation of the infection situation.
However, entry to Norway will be permitted for people who can produce a booking or a written agreement that documents that they will be staying at one registered address in Norway for the first 10 days of their stay here or for the entire period of their stay in Norway if this is shorter than 10 days.

A Bangladeshi student wave Bangladesh's national flag as they block a road during a student protest in Dhaka on August 4, 2018, following the deaths of two college students in a road accident . - Parts of the Bangladeshi capital ground to a halt for the seventh day running on August 4, as thousands of students staged protests calling for improvements to road safety after two teenagers were killed by a speeding bus.
Student protesters have been taking to the streets in Bangladesh's capital to demand safer roads.
Protests broke out in Dhaka last Sunday, when two students were killed by a speeding bus, Bangladesh's state-run news agency, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), reported.
[post_ads]After a week of protests that saw several schools closed, government officials Saturday urged students to end their demonstrations and return to classrooms, the news agency reported.
According to BSS, the country's Education Minister, Nurul Islam Nahid, told the demonstrators that their demands had been "accepted" and the government was working to bring "discipline" to the country's transport sector.
The news agency reported on Wednesday that the driver of the bus allegedly involved in last weekend's crash had been arrested.
Earlier this week Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met with relatives of the two students who were killed.


Dogs are well known for eating almost anything that is put in front of them, often regardless of whether or not it is actually food! Whilst your dog may not be fussy about what they eat, as a responsible pet owner, you undoubtedly want to ensure that your pet is getting the right nutrition to help them live a long, healthy life.
However, knowing what food to choose can be a challenge in itself. When it comes to produce, whether for pets or people, we now live in a world where there is more variety than ever before. Manufacturers are no longer content with just producing one type of dog food. Instead, many are producing variants that have specific targets, such as puppies, older dogs, or dogs with food intolerances.
It is important to remember that food intolerances can be just as much of a problem for animals as for humans. Giving your dog food that he is intolerant too could cause pain, bloating, irritable bowel and a range of other health problems.
Discovering if your dog has food allergies isn't always straightforward. Intolerances can occur at any age and as a result of inflammation, infection or surgery, as well as having no identifiable cause. Some breeds of dog are also more susceptible to intolerances than other.
While there are some symptoms to look out for, including vomiting or diarrhea, red or inflamed skin, or persistent scratching, you will often need to speak to your veterinarian to arrange dietary elimination trials to pinpoint the source of your dog's allergy.
Food intolerances in dogs are most commonly attributed to protein sources, milk products and wheat.
Whether to give your dog dry or wet food may be as simple as considering your budget and which type of food he prefers to eat. Dry kibble is generally considered to be the most widely available and budget-friendly meal option. It is also easy to store as it doesn't require refrigeration.
Dry food is made by combining and cooking the ingredients listed on the label, which are usually a mixture of meat and grain.
Wet food, also known as canned dog food, is a perfectly acceptable alternative to dry kibble. However, it is slightly more expensive and usually contains higher amounts of fresh meat, poultry, fish and animal by-products, as well as grains. Although it has a long shelf-life, once opened, wet food should be refrigerated and consumed within three days.
The marketing departments of dog food brands are extremely clever, and know all of the buzz words that make responsible dog owners assume that their product is the healthiest and most nutritious option for our pets. However, you need to train yourself to look past the packaging, and instead focus on the ingredients label.
Labels Labels list ingredients based on weight, and meats usually take the top spot because they also have the highest water content. You should always choose a food that lists meat or meat meal as the first ingredient, as your dog's diet should be predominantly carnivorous.
Avoid You should avoid pet foods that contain soy or corn. Soy can upset the balance in your dog's endocrine system, and corn is a cheap, no-nutrition filler that is used simply to bulk-out pet food. Corn is also a common cause of food intolerances in pets.
Finding the right food your dog can be a case of trial and error. Each canine companion is unique and so too are their tastes. However, with patience and the support of your veterinarian, it is possible to find a fantastic food for your furry friend that will help him to remain healthy and happy for many years to come.

Suge Knight was, in his heyday, arguably one of the most feared men in the hip-hop industry. Much of the hype around him can be attributed to his violent antics, at the time designed to intimidate his competitors. This was especially from the early to mid 1990s. However, an incident involving Jay Z, Beyonce's husband, raised eyebrows after Suge Knight brought it up, while on an interview with Carson Daly.
At the time of the interview, Dr. Dre had left Suge Knight's Death Row Records, Tupac Shakur had been killed in a drive-by, and Snoop Dogg had just deserted the label. The situation between Suge Knight and his former label artists had caused quite a rift, at times leading to violent confrontations between gangs affiliated to the entertainers. Back to the Jay Z situation, he was, during that period, alleged to have been invited to Los Angeles by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, with the promise that nothing would happen to him as he had helped write a song for them.
But on the night of his arrival, Jay Z was apparently robbed, gagged, and bound while in his hotel room. The following was Suge Knight's revelation about this, while on an interview with Carson Daly.
Asked if he knew about the people responsible for that, Suge Knight offered the following.
This was as reported by Rap Dirt. There was, however, speculation that Suge Knight had something to do with it, although Jay Z has never publicly spoken about it. This was considering he wasn't exactly in good terms with Snoop Dogg and Dre Dre, Jay Z's associates. But this has never been verified.
Over the years, conspiracy theorists have linked Suge Knight to the deaths of Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, and Eazy E. Suge Knight is currently serving time in jail for running over and killing Terry Carter using his Ford pick-up truck. His murder trial was recently pushed to May to enable his legal team to come up with a strong case to have his bail reduced from the present $10 million. The following is an excerpt from the NY Daily News detailing Suge Knight's present legal woes.
"Suge Knight agreed to delay his Feb. 22 murder trial Tuesday amid a renewed effort to get his staggering $10 million bail reduced with claims Dr. Dre had him ambushed.
This is according to Suge Knight's fiancee Toi-Lin Kelly, who spoke to the site. Meanwhile, Jay Z, Beyonce's husband, has just sold his stake at Tidal, the music streaming service, to Sprint for a whopping $200 million. This makes him one of the highest-earning entertainers this year, so far. Part-owners of Tidal include Chris Martin, Beyonce, J. Cole, Rihanna, Madonna, and Nicki Minaj.

District energy systems are an efficient way to heat and cool multiple buildings in a specific area. Systems are in use to power downtown business districts, industrial complexes and other commercial areas, and to serve hospitals, military bases, and more. Learn how some cities are utilizing district energy to serve their businesses.
CAMPUS ENERGY
College and university campuses are facing challenges when it comes to their energy costs. They are dealing with limited budgets, while looking at an energy future that involves moving away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. Campuses want to align with sustainability goals, cutting their greenhouse gas emissions and minimizing their carbon footprint. We'll hear from schools that have developed ways to generate power to enable reliability and resilience while controlling costs.
Businesses that need to minimize or eliminate power outages, and want control of their energy costs, increasingly turn to combined heat and power (CHP) systems and on-site power systems. Hear from commercial and industrial end-users about their experience with CHP installations and on-site systems to power their operations.
Residential and business customers for years have recognized the value of rooftop solar. But not everyone has access to that power. Enter community solar, which provides households and businesses the economic and environmental benefits of solar power—and provides utilities a way to get electricity from solar power to areas that otherwise couldn't receive it.
Analysts have said energy storage could be a $600-billion-plus industry in the next two decades. It also holds the promise of dramatically increasing the adoption of renewables, with an ability to store excess wind and solar power. Many solar and wind projects, in addition to microgrids, are incorporating storage into their design. This session looks at the impact of energy storage on the power landscape and its role in distributed generation.
Microgrids offer an "all of the above" approach to distributed generation, incorporating a variety of technologies into their design. Learn how microgrids are designed and operated, including their use of renewable power sources, battery energy storage, diesel and gas generator sets, microturbines, and fuel cells.
Experts in financing distributed power generation, including commercial and industrial projects and utility-scale renewables, will discuss how to secure support for your project, whether your goal is to enter into a power purchase agreement with a utility, sell your power to a business, or provide power to your own commercial or industrial enterprise.
GRID MANAGEMENT
A virtual power plant is a network of decentralized, medium-scale power generating units such as wind farms, solar parks, and combined heat and power (CHP) units, as well as flexible power consumers and storage systems. The virtual power plant (VPP) model of DER aggregation and optimization is spreading around the globe to respond to the need for increased grid reliability and to lower the cost of renewable energy.

Devon travellers planning to book train tickets for Christmas travel are being warned to plan their journeys carefully as station closures spell trouble on the trains. Great Western Railway wants its customers to plan their journeys in advance and travel as early as possible as Network Rail continues its work to modernise the Great Western mainline.
On Christmas Eve and Wednesday December 27, trains will not be able to operate to or from London Paddington. While some services will be diverted to London Marylebone these will be limited and in high demand. The majority of services will terminate at Reading or Slough.
GWR Operations Manager Rob Mullen said: "We advise customers to plan their journey in advance at GWR.com and travel on or before December 23 if possible.
"While we recognise the disruption this work will cause, and thank passengers in advance for their understanding, it is vital to enable us to run more electric trains delivering more seats and more frequent services."
Local trains in the Thames Valley will operate between Reading and Slough, where replacement bus services will take customers onwards. However, these journeys will be significantly longer and buses are expected to be busy.
Chris Fuoco, Senior Incident Officer at Network Rail, added: "We are urging passengers to check before they travel over this Christmas period as Network Rail undertakes a £40m investment on the Great Western Main Line and Crossrail as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan.
A normal service will operate.
Some platforms at London Paddington will not be available for GWR to use which will affect the arrival and departure times of a small number of trains.
Passengers can visit GWR.com/Christmas2017 for further information. The New Year will see important timetable changes take place, with GWR's new Electrostar trains extended to operate between London Paddington and Didcot Parkway.
In addition, more Intercity Express Trains will be introduced, including new routes to Oxford, Great Malvern, Worcester Foregate Street and Newbury, providing customers on these routes more space and greater comfort.


The list went something like: 2.00pm – Jackie, 2.30pm – My Guy, 3.15pm – Patches, 4.00pm – Record Mirror, 4.45pm – Smash Hits, 5.30pm – Paul Morley.
I am part of someone else's blur. For Gary Numan – who is Tubeway Army – the last few days have been a blur of brand new excitement and confusion. His song Are 'Friends' Electric has surprisingly sneaked into the Top 30.
The success went something like this: the first few singles are pressed as an attractive picture disc, which pushes the single into the lower part of the chart. The single then receives some airplay and, not being especially repulsive, slides a little deeper into the charts. There then comes the invitation to appear on Top Of The Pops, which coincides with an appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. The single then strolls into the Top 30. For Gary Numan all this has happened within a month.
Three weeks ago no one wanted to talk to him. Except me. Now there's a queue. And I'm at the end of it.
"I'm enjoying it," Numan admits limply, coughing from the strain of the day's interviews, "and I'm making the most of it in case the single bombs next week. Two weeks ago I was nothing. For two years it's been like that, exactly the same, and then bang! I've been on the telly twice and done half a dozen interviews in a day. It's like being blinded by your own dream really ..."
We talk in a noisy pub just off Wardour Street in the centre of London. In such surroundings Numan flinches a lot and looks a little worried, Numan dislikes pubs. He's teetotal, and the smoke that wafts all around us doesn't help his cough. He also confesses a dislike for crowds of people.
"I'm over the top paranoid," he explains. Wary, weary eyes set deep into a forlorn face seem to confirm this. His hair is black and threatens to recede. Clothes are black and tight, his boots are button up high heels. He's 21.
Gary Numan has been Tubeway Army for two years. His backing personnel has constantly switched and changed: "I'm very intolerant and I get fed up with people easily."
Prior to conceiving Tubeway he spent time with groups on the British Legion circuit, and four or five months in Meanstreet, who appeared on the lamentable Live At The Vortex album – by which time Numan had been thrown out. It's a period he looks back on with distaste.
"Some of the songs from that period I used on my first album. I was attracted to them like old photographs and I just wanted those songs out to show them, if nothing else. There's a lot of that in it, a lot of revenge motives all over the place. There's a lot of people who I haven't forgotten who were unkind to me. Now when I'm in the charts and on the telly I sort of smile inside, that they're watching. I'm waiting for them to ring up – 'Oh do you remember me, I used to go around with you'."
I ask Numan what his ambitions were during those Meanstreet days, expecting him to say "I wanted to make my own music". Instead his answer comes quick and wistful: "I want to start my own airplane business. I'm going to buy two Dakotas, paint them up in war colours and do, er, nostalgia trips to Arnhem – you know, where the old paratroopers used to go – and charge them about 20 quid a time. I'd go on the same route as they used during the war. I'm more interested in this than keeping the music going. I don't want to stay in music for too many years.
"I got involved in music because I love everything about it, but now I'm in it you see the other side and it isn't much fun. Not as glamorous and enjoyable as you imagine ... All this chart and TV thing, it's only fun while it's new and then it won't be long before it's a job and a strain, and when the whole thing becomes too much business then I'd stop."
Wouldn't there be anything seductive in prolonged success?
"No, I'd find it easy to stop because I'm so interested in flying, I'd have another complete love to go into. It's like giving up Raquel Welch and going into Brigitte Bardot, innit?" If you say so.
The original Numan/Army sound was guitar orientated fast rock, aimless and painless. The impressionable Numan constantly altered the sound, absorbing and exploring.
"Tubeway Army have always been a group on the playing side, but not the creative side. The music changes so quickly. If I have an idea, in three months time it's changed. You hear a new album, new ideas, new instruments ... I mean, somebody bought me a piano a year ago, so I started playing keyboards – and look how much that's changed the music."
Numan's new-found love for keyboards – synthesizer and all things electronic – has deepened to such an extent he plans to drop all guitars from his next LP. The next move is to withdraw all human involvement. Then to fly off into the clouds.
Marginally acquainted with his early work for Beggars Banquet – the singles That's Too Bad and Bombers, the LP Tubeway Army – and teased a little by the new LP Replicas, I had become intrigued if not intoxicated by the nature of the Numan pursuit. As Numan/Army had developed, and the music had begun to complement the blue-cold Numan world view, which consisted of a series of simple and savage future projections, I began to hear maybe a budding Bowie, or the stirrings of a possible wandering Eno character, or the brother spirit of John Foxx, he of Ultravox, a dealer in adolescent alienation. Wishing to sort out just which pimple Numan was squeezing, I made to interview the man. When I requested the interview Numan was unknown and unfashionable and destined to stay that way, which intrigued me even more, but by the time I came to meet him he was a real chart star, which made me smile.
I still determined to discover his sources, his future route, and how often he grins. He grins quite often, a nervous toothy sort of grin. His main modern musical likes appear to be Bowie, Human League, Kraftwerk and most especially ... Ultravox. "I think they're brilliant, the best band in the world and no one's realised it!" he enthuses.
I drop the word pretentious into his lap. "I've never understood this pretentious bit, to be honest. As far as I'm concerned it's showbusiness. You put on a show, you dress up, create characters in your songs, you look like the characters you're creating to portray them, so that people can understand the songs better – and then people say, 'Oh it's pretentious' just because you wear make-up or whatever.
"Pretentious means making claims of great importance doesn't it? Well, there's no way I'm making claims to anything. My songs are just ideas."
If Numan resents accusations of pretentiousness then he's cheerfully and slyly willing to be accepted as contrived. He had mentioned a fondness for Jobriath, and I had dropped the word contrived into his lap. "Yeah, but I don't mind contrived things. 'Cos if something's contrived it shows that someone has gone out and thought about something and worked for it. That's what contrived is. Commendable, isn't it?" The way you say it, maybe.
A picture forms. Mix Ultravox, Jobriath, Biggles and Burroughs, add a dash of mascara and a squirt of childishness, and the dark vulnerable shadow on Numan emerges.
I ask him if he feels some kind of commitment to people who have begun to buy his records, and he's quite taken aback at the idea.
"People shouldn't expect things. If they do it isn't my fault. I make a record and they buy it, but because I make a record they shouldn't have the right to say I've got to make another record.
"I shouldn't have to play live just because I've made a record. I get lots of letters 'cos I'm not into the street credibility thing. I don't like that whole thing at all, I've always thought of it as a very glamorous business, the whole thing about putting on a show. All the anti-hero punk thing, it went against everything I've ever wanted to do.
"Maybe I'll be able to do the plane business and stay in the music business," he eventually decides. So that Arnhem trip business really is serious?
"Yeah, it's serious, it's probably childish...But I think there's a very good market for what I want to do.
"You imagine how many people would want to go in an old war plane, for a start just to be in an old war plane, then to actually fly in it, with the war colours, and then to fly the actual route the paratroopers took back in the war in formation with the another one, together across the ocean, low level runs. There must be an incredible market for that."
I'll be first in the queue.
"You go to Blackbush Airport every weekend where I go flying and the aeroplane that does the pleasure flights is going up with six people every fifteen minutes non-stop eight hours a day, so you can imagine what it will be like for what I want to do.
"I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work then I'll still have two Dakotas that I can play with myself. I mean John Travolta's got a Dakota."
Of all the Beggars Banquet oddities – Duffo, Lurkers, Ivor Biggun – Numan is the most endearing, and he's due a few more minutes fame than any of those people. And of the fragile freaks that have happily stained the outer limits of rock over the years, from Jobriath to Kid Strange, he is the most likeable and for whatever reasons the most popular.
But of course he has neither the stamina nor the regularity to drift like a Bowie, flirt like an Eno or even whine like a John Foxx. After our conversation, Numan dons neither goggles and gloves to take off for Arnhem, nor slips into a silver suit to swish into a distant metallic androgynous future, but climbs morosely into a taxi for a ride to the Beggars Banquet shop in Earls Court. A sad figure in black who's suddenly been thrust into the unknown. And tomorrow it's Melody Maker.


don't know if this is anything new .. but it is a good read.
Your business needs a Firearms Business Licence if it possesses firearms, restricted or prohibited weapons, prohibited devices (except for replicas) or prohibited ammunition.
As noted earlier, replica firearms, except replicas of antique firearms, are prohibited devices. It is not an offence to possess existing replicas, but there are restrictions on selling, trading, giving or lending these replicas. As well, replicas may not be manufactured, imported, bought or acquired in any other way except for certain prescribed business purposes, such as for use in a motion picture, television, video, theatrical or publishing production.
The Special Authority to Possess Regulations (Firearms Act) make special provisions for the manufacture or lending of replica firearms for a prescribed business purpose.
If your business is licensed to do so, it can temporarily transfer replica firearms to an unlicensed business or individual (also referred to as a "transferee") for use in a movie, television, video or theatrical production or in publishing activities.
When your business temporarily transfers replica firearms, it must keep records, including a description of each replica, the date of the transfer, the number of replicas being transferred, and the name, address, and telephone number of the transferee. It must also make these records available to a Chief Firearms Officer upon request.
A temporary transfer period cannot exceed one year, but the transfer period can be extended an additional year if your business updates the information outlined above.

It's just that everyone knows you need a BFL to sell, and that's how Mark sells guns.

Thanks for outlining the key points. It was indeed an interesting read.
+1 yea was good to read.
if you read it you would see that there is no provision to "Sell guns" there is only a provision to "Temporarily Transfer" them and only for proscribed reasons.
It is not legally possible to sell replica Firearms to a person that does not posess a BFL and a special Authority to Posess license for Replica Firearms.
Airsoft guns exist in a Quantum state.. neither Firearms nor Replicas nor immitation firearms... they are none of these things and all of them at the same time... only under the scrutiny of an outside observer do they become defined.
For example, the CBSA takes the position at all airsoft guns are Replicas.. though this definition does not persist beyond the border. The court takes the position that only replicas that are proven so in court are applicable for the attributiuon of offenses. and individuals that own airsoft guns consider them immitation firearms..
The way that one ensures that your definition holds is to never have your immitation firearms observed by someone that may have a different perception.. and may be able to enforce it.. in short.. buy them.. keep them and don't be stupid with them.
Anyone who chooses to trade in airsoft guns runs the risk of being charged with a weapons trafficing offense.. if such guns are observed being sold.. and the law chooses to proceed with charges.. which they won't typically when individuals are involved.. but they may when large volumes and bulk sales are involved... which we have seen..in the case of the Retailer Implosion of 2006-2007.
Heh, quantum airsoft guns. I like it.
Let's just hope nobody kills the Cat.
I think that once we finally decide to divide by zero, this whole mess will go away.
That was a very bad move on your behalf. Sort of like cutting off your foot for money, but not getting the money first and then letting the person with the money run away.
Liberals rely on emotion. Conservatives rely on evidence, and the Socialists rely on everyone else.
10 print "this is a recording"
Given the amount of "unregistered firearms" I see being offered/asked for out in the open on local online classifieds, I wouldn't go into much of a panic about airsoft right now, I doubt it's very high on the priority list.
Pepsi. All over my screen.


Over the past four years, I've lived in six different cities.
I'm a traveler, and I'm always on the go. Only one of those moves was due to an employment offer. In the other five towns, I had to find a new job from scratch.
There are plenty of reasons we find ourselves in new places. Reasons that have nothing to do with our careers. I've relocated because I graduated from college, moved back in with my parents, traveled, decided to live with my significant other (now husband) and followed him to a large university where he began a master's program. Each new city brought an overwhelming job search.
So how do we find positions in new cities? Particularly in places where we don't know anyone?
Here's how to find a job in a new city.
If you search for positions before you've arrived in your new city, you're probably filling out online applications.
Whether you apply through LinkedIn or a job service website like Indeed, make sure you submit a resume with a local address. Even if you haven't moved to that city yet.
You may not move to that town for two more weeks. But if you've already found a place to live, go ahead and put that address on your resume.
Although I'm writing primarily to people who don't have any connections yet, if you do have family or friends in the area, ask permission to use their address if you don't have one yet.
Many employers receive hundreds of applications for one position. If they see you don't live in the area, they might toss your resume aside before even looking at it.
One caveat, however: Only include a local address if you can do so ethically. Don't just make up a random address to make yourself look better.
This advice is especially important if you can't ethically include a local address in your application.
This way, if your potential employer overlooks your address and reads further, you can give context to your living arrangements in the cover letter.
Even if you have a local address listed, you should still mention the move in the cover letter.
The fact you're moving could make you stand out from other applicants. At the very least, this gives you the opportunity to mention your earliest date of availability.
Whether you use LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or another social media profile, go ahead and change your location to your new city, even if you haven't moved yet.
Annoying as it may be, many employers do look at potential employees' social media accounts before making a hiring decision. Posting your new city could help them find you. And if you have included a local address on your resume, putting that same city on your profiles will eliminate any confusion.
Search online job hubs such as Indeed, Monster and CareerBuilder for the field you're interested in.
Once you've finished your online application marathon, narrow down your search to your five favorite positions. You might end up accepting a totally different job offer, but it's helpful to have your favorites picked out.
Now, when you arrive in your city, take a couple of days to settle in. On day three, walk into any of the five businesses you haven't heard from yet.
That's right. Don't email. Don't call. Walk in, introduce yourself, and hand in another resume so they can look it over while they talk to you.
This tactic sounds intimidating, but it's worked for me multiple times. As a potential employee, I come off just so-so on paper. (That whole "moving to a new place every six months" thing doesn't look great on a resume.) But I leave a good first impression. Walk into the office so people can actually meet you.
Hopefully, this strategy is super successful, and you land yourself a job! But just in case, take a look at items six and seven on this list.
After a week or two, you may need to start generating income. If you still haven't heard back from any of those five jobs, consider a short-term gig to make yourself some cash.
You can always go through a temp agency. Or consider a job where you can start right away, such as serving tables at a restaurant or making coffee at Starbucks.
As time goes on, you'll meet people in your new city.
Take advantage of conversations with people at that temporary job or at a local pub. Share your passions with them. You never know what will come of it.
If you're moving to a new area and don't know what you'll do for income yet, hopefully this list has given you some fresh ideas to keep you from freaking out!
Follow these steps and your biggest concerns will be what to wear on your first day and topics you can bring up to spark conversation around the water cooler.

Server Core is a minimalistic Microsoft Windows Server installation option, debuted in Windows Server 2008. Server Core provides a server environment with functionality scaled back to core server features, and because of limited features, it has reduced servicing and management requirements, attack surface, disk and memory usage. Andrew Mason, a program manager on the Windows Server team, noted that a primary motivation for producing a Server Core variant of Windows Server 2008 was to reduce the attack surface of the operating system, and that about 70% of the security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows from the prior five years would not have affected Server Core. Most notably, no Windows Explorer shell is installed. All configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command-line interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console (MMC), remote server administration tools, and PowerShell.

Configuration levels
As Server Core implementations matured, it has evolved from an installation option to a configuration level. Server Core is less looked down as a stripped version, instead the full GUI version is being thought of having a rarely needed client layer on top of the server layer

In newer Windows versions there is more granularity in configuration levels:

History

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2008 was the first Windows Server with the Server Core option (in all editions, except IA-64). Though no Windows Explorer shell is installed, Notepad and some control panel applets, such as Regional Settings, are available. Server Core on Windows Server 2008 does not include the Internet Explorer or many other features not related to core server features. A Server Core machine can be configured for several basic roles: Active Directory Domain Services, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), DNS Server, DHCP server, file server, print server, Windows Media Server, IIS 7 web server and Hyper-V virtual server. Server Core can also be used to create a cluster with high availability using failover clustering or network load balancing.

As Server Core is not a different version of Windows Server 2008, but simply an installation option, it has the same file versions and default configurations as the full server version. In Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, if a server was installed as Server Core, it cannot be changed to the full GUI version and vice versa.

To make administration of a Server Core machine easier, a Windows script called "scregedit.wsf" was included to make basic changes like turning Automatic Updates on or off, turning Remote Desktop on or off and change page file settings.

Windows Server 2008 R2
In Windows Server 2008 R2, Server Core includes a subset of the .NET Framework, so that some applications (including ASP.NET web sites and Windows PowerShell 2.0) can be used. Having .NET support, it is also the first Server Core version where Microsoft SQL Server can be installed (a supported scenario only with SQL Server 2012+). Server Manager has become remoteable. New roles had been enabled to run on Server Core, including Active Directory Certificate Services and the File Server Resource Manager component of the File Services role. WoW64 is available by default, but can be disabled.

In addition to the DISM command, a new command line Server Configuration tool (Sconfig.cmd) has arrived to configure and manage several common aspects of Server Core installations. Server Manager can be used to remotely administer a Server Core machine.

Windows Server 2012
Unlike its predecessors, Windows Server 2012 can switch between "Server Core" and server with a DE installation option without reinstallation. Server Core is now the default configuration level. There is also a new installation option, "minimal server interface" that allows some GUI elements such as MMC and Server Manager to run, but without the normal desktop, shell or default programs like File Explorer. The "minimal server interface" is in fact a server role (Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra), the full GUI version contains the Server-Gui-Shell role as well. Some new roles are available, like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Active Directory Rights Management Server, and Routing and Remote Access Server, and many new features as well.

Windows Server 2012 R2
In Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Defender is available in a Server Core installation, and is installed and enabled by default.

Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2016 has a minimal footprint installation option (smaller than Server Core) called Nano Server, optimized for Windows Server Containers and Hyper-V Containers, as well as other cloud-optimized scenarios. Microsoft removed the GUI stack, WoW64 and Windows Installer. There is no local logon or Remote Desktop support.

On installation, Server 2016 offers two options: Windows Server 2016 (which is Server Core) and Windows Server 2016 Desktop Experience. Switching between these versions, as is available in Server 2012, is not supported (the possibility was removed in Technical Preview 3).

Supported GUI programs

Windows Server 2016

Some graphical programs supported in Core version
Subset of Control Panel
 control.exe intl.cpl - Region

 control.exe timedate.cpl - Date and Time

subset of Explorer function - all what can be done from File - Open dialog like
 File Copy, Paste, Rename, Delete, make new Folder
 Disk properties including tools on dialog like Error check

Other working programs with GUI
adexplorer.exe - Sysinternals Active Directory Explorer

procexp.exe - Sysinternals Process Explorer

procmon.exe - Sysinternals Process Monitor

tcpview.exe - Sysinternals TCPview

Netcentives Says It Will Beat Street Revenue Estimates - InternetNews.
Online promotional marketer Netcentives Thursday said that it expects its third-quarter revenues will beat analyst estimates.
The San Francisco-based company gave guidance that its revenues will be in the range of $11.0 to $11.5 million for the quarter, eight to 13 percent higher than the $10.2 million to $16.3 million expected by Wall Street.
The company also said its gross cash sales were up 50 percent from last quarter to $20.0 million -- 23 percent higher than the Street's estimates of $16.3 million.
Without providing more information about losses, Netcentives said operating expenses are expected to be lower than analysts' estimates.
Analyst consensus puts Netcentives' lost at 53 cents per share for the third quarter. Last quarter, the company reported per-share losses of 38 cents.
The company said the results are due to offline marketers' online promotions, and a shift in online ad spending away from ads to promotional marketing.
"Our third quarter performance should help differentiate us from many companies in the e-marketing sector who are reliant on advertising-based models," said chairman and chief executive officer West Shell.
"Many of our customers view our programs as 'core' strategies for which they are prepared to make long-term, large-scale financial commitments. We are very enthusiastic about our results for the quarter and look forward to providing more details in our upcoming earnings announcement."

Pure bliss: Seven-year-old Isabella Morales drinks hot cocoa at the Dec. 3 tree lighting in Owls Head Park.
Is he real?: Five-year-old Olga Karachenko of Bay Ridge tugs the beard of a magical visitor at the Owls Head Park Christmas tree lighting.
It might not look like a winter wonderland yet, but Owls Head Park sure got a lot more festive on Dec. 3!
The Owls Head Park Horticulture Group — a branch of the Shore Road Park Conservancy, which maintains community gardens in the green space — decked the evergreen in front of the field house with electric lights and handmade ornaments from the Guild for Exceptional Children.
"We try to make the park a nice place that people want to be a part of," said the Horticulture Group's area manager David Matthews, who oversaw the event with the organization's president Javier Acevedo — and had a number of people volunteer to get involved the night of the lighting.
The evening featured a tent with hot chocolate, hot cider, and donated cookies and candy; a DJ spinning classic Christmas carols; and a visit from Jolly Old Saint Nick — although five-year-old Olga Karanchenko wasn't so sure he was the real deal. A quick tug of the beard set everything right, we're told.
The best part of the night, according to Matthews, was the caroling by the Guild's chorus.
"Their singing was really the icing on the cake," said Matthews, who said the Guild members begged for the chance to perform after he approached them about making the decorations.
