Work to improve the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panther Arena in downtown Milwaukee in order to accommodate the Milwaukee Admirals will begin on Monday.
The Admirals are moving to the arena from the BMO Harris Bradley Center. They have not played at the arena since the 1986-87 season.
The total cost of the arena improvement project is $6.3 million, of which $2 million will be provided by the Admirals. The rest will be paid for by the Wisconsin Center District.
The project will include a new locker room for the Admirals and a new locker room that will be used by the Milwaukee Wave and visiting hockey and basketball teams. It will also include upgrades to: kitchens and concessions, seating, lighting, the team store, restrooms, the concourse, the roof, the media room and box offices. Hockey rink components and equipment will also be purchased. WiFi will be installed for the seating bowl.
“The UW Milwaukee Panther Arena is home to the best variety of sports and entertainment events in Milwaukee,” said Russ Staerkel, president of the Wisconsin Center District. “Facility investments including free WiFi, new seats, and expanded concessions will solidify our place as the best fan experience as well.”
“We are excited to get the renovations and improvements underway here at the Panther Arena,” said Admirals Governor and CEO Harris Turer. “The facilities that will be created for players will be NHL-caliber and combined with the intimacy and fan-friendly atmosphere of the Arena, we will have a tremendous home ice advantage.”
The general contractor for the project is Janesville-based JP Cullen.


The Sport is, as its name suggests, the performance-oriented trim option from the lineup, though mostly in its cosmetics than in actual performance. It comes with sportier exterior elements such as body-color rocker panels and a body-color/Crystal Black Silica finish trunk spoiler. Along with the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, it also boasts aluminum-alloy coated pedals and an enhanced instrument cluster with a 6.3-inch color multifunction display. Its infotainment system is upgraded with an eight-inch high-res touchscreen with over-the-air updates and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. It also comes standard with keyless access and push-button start.

Glaxosmithkline has hailed promising early trials of a ‘second generation’ Covid vaccine that could be used to inoculate patients against variants of the virus.
The pharmaceutical company has been jointly developing the shots – which use cutting-edge messenger RNA (mRNA) technology – with German rival Curevac. And yesterday GSK said the vaccine had produced a ‘strongly improved’ immune system response in animal trials, when compared with an earlier jab made by Curevac.
GSK said human trials have not taken place yet, though they are scheduled to begin in the final quarter of this year, and the data is not yet peer-reviewed.
Despite being the world’s biggest vaccine maker before the pandemic, GSK has raised eyebrows by failing to develop its own jab successfully while rivals such as Pfizer and Astrazeneca have done so.
The firm has partnered with France’s Sanofi on one potential vaccine, while it hopes the Curevac collaboration could lead to its jabs being used in a fresh round of booster vaccinations.

When you are producing a video for your business, whether it’s an explainer video, animation or green screen series, planning out a storyboard is essential. A storyboard is a structured representation of how your video will flow from scene to scene and what your audience will see at each point in the story. You can think of a storyboard as a comic book version of your script.
Why do you need a storyboard?
A storyboard is the best way to communicate to others about your vision for the video production. In a storyboarding session we map out videos with our clients to make sure we’re all on the same page. Crafting a storyboard is the most important step in the video production process as it lays out the structure for the project.
It’s not only the best way to communicate your vision, but a storyboard also helps to make the production flow smoothly. If all parties can see exactly which shots are required at what stage of the story, shooting your video should feel like a breeze. By following a storyboard / script, our team can work in an efficient and effective way.
Even though it may seem time consuming to start with, crafting a storyboard will save you a lot of time in the long run. It not only allows our team to work more efficiently but it also ensures that during the editing process our editor has a guide to craft the story according to the initial vision and therefore saving time and money.
How do you craft a storyboard?
Simply split your video up in scenes that each run for about 10 seconds. So for a 90 seconds video you’ll need about 9 scenes. Start with an attention grabbing introduction to the subject and slowly build a story in which often your product or service is the solution to a problem.
a common structure:
- #1 Intro
- #2 Problem
- #3 Solution
- #4 Case Study
- #5 Feature 1
- #6 Feature 2
- #7 Feature 3
- #8 Conclusion / Statement
- #9 Call-to-action
An important side note to make is that your storyboard doesn’t have to be super detailed and you don’t have to be an artist either! Just make sure you provide enough details and visual elements to give an idea of what is happening, who is in a scene and what the frames will roughly look like. Once you get to the scripting phase the rest of the details will be filled out and these will come in handy in production and post production.

John Prine Documentary Picked up at Sony Pictures ClassicsPhoto by Rich Fury/Getty Music News John Prine

Rebel with a new cause: Honda Rebel 1100 project takes aim at H-D and Indian
Honda are working on a larger capacity version of the Rebel – and it will be based on the Africa Twin. The Rebel has been popular across the globe for people who want something a little different from your average cruiser.
Until now though there’s only been a 500cc model available – small fry next to Harley-Davidson and Indian machines. But now Honda are working on a larger capacity model to boost the appeal.
The new bike will be called the Rebel 1100 and will be powered by the 1082cc parallel twin from the Africa Twin. If it stays in a similar state of tune, then we can expect a boost from the current bike’s 45bhp to 100bhp – however it’s more likely that Honda will retune the motor.

- Honda CB-F concept pays tribute to the '80s
- BMW unveil production R18 cruiser
With a bit of a fiddle the twin could get more torque and a fatter midrange, which would knock peak power down to under 94bhp – helpful if they want to offer an A2 compliant version. Using the Africa Twin motor also gives Honda the option of selling a DCT version.
Bringing over the motor from the CRF1100L twin also opens the door for the addition of electronic rider aids. The current CMX only has basic ABS but if the 1100 model was to pick up the IMU from the CRF, then it could get cornering ABS and lean sensitive traction control as well as Honda’s ‘comfort’ electronics for a bit of touring.
To go with the new motor, Honda will also develop a new chassis. Patents that emerged last week suggest the chassis could have some big changes, towards a more upright stance. However, the style of the current CMX 500, and cruisers in general, is quite rigid and Honda will want to ride the wave of popularity.
Honda won’t just put a big engine in – expect posh suspension and nicer components to match the increased power. The standard Africa Twin has 78ftlb of torque but a retune could see this in the mid-80s – more than enough to get you cruising.
Honda do an S-model of their existing Rebel, which comes with a few tasty extras, and we’d imagine they will pull the same trick again here. New electronics could include: ride by wire, self-cancelling indicators, keyless ignition, traction and cruise control.
Given the competition, we’d expect an 1100 Rebel to hover around the £10,000 mark – depending on finish and to be unveiled at Eicma, Milan in November.

The completion of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, the definitive English translation of the Critical Edition, represents a milestone in theological scholarship. Now, the editorial team has offered an essential companion to the entire series in the form of an index volume.
Engagement with primary sources is an essential part of effective teaching and learning in the church history or theology course. And yet, pulling together and distilling the right readings can be challenging. In this all-new primary-source anthology, Keith D. Stanglin has done the heavy lifting for a new generation of classrooms. Stanglin has edited and introduced over 100 selections to create a reader that orients students to the ebb and flow of thought that moves out from the pre-Reformation period.
Writing fiction, letters to his family, fiancée, and friends and contending with his interrogator occupied Bonhoeffer during his first year in Tegel Prison.

I have the opportunity to move my blog to the Sun Sentinel’s new website, today is the day. My new blog will be called Behind The Wheel. I will be doing weekly car reviews on all of your favorite manufactures. I hope you follow me there.
My first review for Behind The Wheel will be on the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. It is V12 Grand Tourer that has a price tag of $322,000. Find out if I think it is worth the price by going to www.Behind-The-Wheel.com
Thank you for reading,
The 2014 Corvette Stingray is such an amazing car, and the convertible version makes it even more fun! What makes it so great, is the thrill it produces while only costing around $50,000. The Stingray is faster than the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, Jaguar F-Type, Audi R8, and the Maserati Granturismo Sport. The Corvette Stingray I tested was priced around $70,000, but that is still bargain compared to the $117,000 Porsche 911 or $126,000 Maserati. It included the Z51 performance package, performance exhaust, and the magnetic ride control.
The car is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine that produces 455 horsepower and 460 pounds of torque. It can do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and stop 0-60 in 107 feet. So you are probably thinking Corvette vs Porsche, hows the handling? The car handles beautifully! It can achieve 1.03gs in cornering grip. Chevrolet was able to accomplish this by reducing weight and having an optimal 50/50 weight balance. New to 2014 is the use of an aluminum frame, and carbon fiber panels.
What is also remarkable, is that the car gets 29 mpg. No other car has over 450 horsepower and has 29 miles per gallon. Chevrolet is able to accomplish this by offering a 7-speed manual gearbox and an eco mode that shuts off 4 cylinders when cruising.
The new Corvette offers some really cool features, such as a heads up display, a digital dash board, and active-rev matching . Active-rev matching speeds up the engine timing when downshifting – When you are racing and begin to downshift, you want to increase your RPMs so the engine matches the RPMs of the gear it will go into.
Hands down, the 2014 Corvette Stingray is one of my all-time favorite cars – It has the styling of a Ferrari California, the performance and thrill of a Porsche, and it costs half the price… Oh and the roar of the engine is so sweet!
A few of my favorite cars at the Fort Lauderdale Collectors Car Auction. The auction takes places Saturday January 5th and Sunday January 6th 2013.

This past Wednesday, Ferrari unveiled the new 458 Italia Spider. It is a hardtop convertible that roars beauty and performance.
The Spider version of the 458 Italia marks the end of the F430 era, which was the successor the the 360 Modena line.
As with the Ferrari 458 Italia coupe, the Spider is powered by a 4.5L V8 rear mid-engine (The engine rests on top of the rear axle, instead of behind or in front of the rear axle. Rear mid-engine cars offer improved handling and give better traction to the rear wheels).

I look good behind the wheel of a Ferrari!
Ashley Cline also looks good behind the wheel, but I think Miss Preppy Pink Blondie needs either a white or pink Italia.
We snuck into the Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale garage for a quick peek. The best thing about all of the 2012 Ferrari’s is that they include seven years of free service and maintenance. Prior Ferrari’s required $3,000+ in maintenance a year.
The Ferrari 458 Italia Spider is a beautiful car and possibly the best car on the planet. With 562 hp and a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, I challenge you to find a better hand built automotive work of art.
The General Motors South East PR team invited me to a luncheon on Wednesday to showcase Buick’s eAssist technology and the 2013 lineup. I was never exposed to Buick before this event, so it was very interesting. Katie Maltais from Buick started lunch with some surprising facts: Buick outsold both Audi and Acura in 2011, and their best selling vehicle is an SUV. Buick’s three sedan options (from largest to smallest) are the Lacrosse, Regal, and Verano. Buick’s SUV options are the Enclave and the Encore.
Stephen Poulos took floor after Katie to explain how the eAssist hybrid system works. Stephen is the Global Chief Engineer for General Motors and a car nut! The big difference between Buick’s hybrid system is that the gasoline engine is the primary motor and the electric motor secondary motor. eAssist functions more like a supercharger than a hybrid, which is why you won’t find the word “hybrid” anywhere on the car. Buick developed a way to combine the alternator and electric motor into one piece without using permeant magnets, which is very unique. The electric motor adds 15 HP to the car when accelerating from a stop or when passing a car on the highway.
After lunch we visited the Verano, Regal, and Lacrosse in the parking lot. The interiors were surprisingly nice and the cars had a solid feel to them. I then had the amazing opportunity of taking a test drive with Stephen. We drove the Regal around the streets of Miami for about 20 minutes. It took a few minutes to charge the battery, but once changed, eAssist made a big difference. It added a nice little boast of power when needed and allowed the engine to shutoff when completely stopped. I had never driven a car with auto start and stop technology, it was pretty neat. Whenever we came to a stop the engine would turn off and instantly turn back on once I took my foot off the brake. At one point I stopped car in the middle of a side street, waited for the engine to turn off, then peeled out when I slammed on the gas pedal.
I use to think Buick was a car for grandfathers. Their image is changing… It is becoming a cool brand.

Jury to deliberate on Loveland police’s excessive force case
FORT COLLINS — An excessive force case against a northern Colorado police officer is now in the hands of jurors.
The Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald reports testimony wrapped up Thursday in the trial of Loveland police Sgt. Justin Chase. He is accused of assaulting and harassing 30-year-old Timothy Jarrett during his 2016 arrest.
Prosecutors say Chase injured Jarrett’s head by bashing it into a barrier inside the police car.
Video captured by police cameras shows Chase threatening to break Jarrett’s knee while he and another officer were working on restraining him.
Sgt. Brandon Johnson testified that he saw Chase hit Jarrett’s head after police had already restrained him, but didn’t see him bang it against the barrier. He also said he heard Chase using foul language against Jarrett.
Chase’s lawyers say Jarrett’s wounds were self-inflicted.

[ThrowItSideways] Dark of the Night OOC [Cupcake]
Name – Eve Houston
Age – 19
Personality – Eve is quiet and fragile. She’s very easily hurt, both physically and mentally. She will try and put up a fight against things she believes are wrong, as she doesn’t like to see anyone else in pain, but she will more than likely back down if the person she’s arguing with also puts up a fight. When she is happy, her high spirits are very easy to break and stomp down.
History – Eve was born to a single mother, who was annoyed to be weighed down by a child. She brought a string of men back to their home. They never stayed more than a few nights before she moved onto the next one. Her mother teeters towards alcoholic, but if Eve is asked, she will tell you her mother barely ever drinks. When angry or drunk, her mother lashes out, and will not hesitate to hit Eve. During the rare times she is sober, she will manage to string together bitter insults which she throws at Eve freely. Rather than blame her mother, she blames her mother’s boyfriends, and believes her mother’s attitude is a result of them, so Eve’s view of men is rather poor.
Other – Eve is very skinny, and her pale skin bruises easily.
Hope this is the sort of thing you were looking for. Anything I need to change, just say :)
Name: Chase Griffith
Personality- Chase is very outgoing. Although he is more 'dark and mysterious', he is easily capable to become friends with anyone. His mental state has to be rock solid where his teenage secret is easily exposed when he is mentally unstable. He never was alone when it came to others. He had a knack for ensuring that everyone trusted him using calamity in his mental state.
History- He was born to a clan of werewolves. He wasn't the only one in this little city in Michigan. The forest lines helped them blend, and the only things that were known about the forest lines were large wolves. No one knew anything about werewolves. The only thing about being a werewolf, he was to be the next Alpha once the current alpha passes. In order for it to be a sure thing, he would have to kill one human to begin initiation. And the one chosen was Eve. He didn't know who she was until after he was told she was his target. He never thought he had it in him to kill another person, but whoever this person was, is unlucky.

In the wake of Iran’s 2024 elections, the world holds its breath to see what lies ahead for this politically charged nation. As Iranians head to the polls, the outcomes of these elections will undoubtedly shape the country’s future direction and have a significant impact on geopolitical dynamics globally. From the reformation of domestic policy to the nation’s stance on international relations, these elections carry immense weight.
The anticipation surrounding these elections reflects the deep-rooted desire for progress and change amongst Iranians. As candidates campaign for power, their promises and policies are scrutinized by a hopeful yet wary population, eager to secure a better future for themselves and their country.
Against the backdrop of economic challenges, regional tensions, and societal demands, Iran’s electorate faces difficult decisions that will ultimately shape the nation’s trajectory. These elections offer a critical juncture for Iranians to express their aspirations and influence the course of their nation’s history.
Stay tuned as we delve into the intricacies of indrabet Iran’s 2024 elections, exploring the candidates, their platforms, and the potential implications for Iran and the world at large.
Overview of the Electoral System in Iran
Iran’s electoral system is a complex framework that blends elements of theocratic governance with democratic processes. At its core, the system revolves around the Supreme Leader, who holds ultimate authority and oversees the entire political landscape. The Guardian Council, a body of influential clerics and legal experts, screens candidates for eligibility, ensuring their adherence to Islamic principles and the preservation of the Islamic Republic’s ideals.
The electoral system in Iran is built upon a multi-tiered structure, with both direct and indirect elections. The President, who holds executive power, is elected through a direct popular vote. The Parliament, known as the Islamic Consultative Assembly or Majlis, is elected through nationwide elections. Additionally, there are various local and regional councils that form an integral part of the political landscape.
Key Players and Political Parties in the Iran’s 2024 elections
The 2024 elections in Iran witness a diverse array of candidates and political parties vying for power and influence. While some are aligned with the establishment and favor continuity, others represent the voices of reform and change. It is worth noting that political parties in Iran operate within certain boundaries defined by the ruling elite, with the Supreme Leader’s approval being a crucial factor.
Among the prominent candidates in the 2024 elections is Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a conservative figure who has previously held positions such as the Mayor of Tehran and the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Another notable candidate is Ebrahim Raisi, the Chief Justice of Iran, who is known for his close ties to the Supreme Leader and his conservative stance on social and political issues.
Major Issues and Debates in the Iran’s 2024 elections Campaign
The election campaign in Iran revolves around critical issues that resonate with the Iranian populace. These issues include the economy, unemployment, inflation, corruption, social freedoms, and international relations. Candidates present their policies and strategies to address these challenges, often emphasizing their commitment to national sovereignty and the preservation of Iran’s Islamic identity.
One of the main debates centers around the nuclear deal and Iran’s relations with the international community. With the United States and other world powers seeking to renegotiate the agreement, candidates offer differing perspectives on how to navigate these negotiations while safeguarding Iranian interests.
Social media platforms have become instrumental in shaping political discourse and mobilizing support in Iran’s elections. With a large percentage of the population being tech-savvy and active on platforms such as Telegram, Instagram, and Twitter, candidates leverage these channels to reach out to voters, disseminate their message, and engage in direct dialogue.
Social media enables candidates to bypass traditional media channels and directly connect with voters, particularly the younger generation who are more likely to consume news and information through digital platforms. However, the government also closely monitors online activity, and restrictions are imposed to prevent the spread of dissenting views or misinformation.
Voter Turnout and Voter Demographics
Voter turnout in Iran’s elections has historically been significant, reflecting the population’s engagement and belief in the electoral process. However, various factors can influence voter turnout, including disillusionment with the political system, social unrest, and apathy.
In terms of voter demographics, Iran has a predominantly young population, with a significant portion under the age of 30. These young voters are often seen as a key demographic that could potentially shape the outcome of the elections, as they represent a generation eager for change and reform.
International Perspectives on the Iran Elections
The Iran elections have garnered international attention, with various countries and organizations closely monitoring the developments. The outcome of the elections holds implications for regional dynamics, nuclear negotiations, and broader geopolitical relations.
The United States, as a key player in the nuclear deal negotiations, closely observes the electoral process and the potential impact on future diplomatic engagements. Regional powers such as Saudi Arabia and Israel also keep a close eye on the elections, as Iran’s policies and alliances have a direct bearing on their security concerns.
Election Day and the Voting Process
On election day, Iranians across the country exercise their right to vote, casting their ballots at designated polling stations. The voting process is supervised by election officials and observers to ensure transparency and fairness. However, critics argue that the screening process for candidates limits genuine competition and narrows the choices available to voters.
Despite these concerns, election day is marked by a palpable sense of excitement and civic participation. Iranians take pride in their democratic processes, viewing elections as an opportunity to shape the future of their nation.
Analysis of the Election Results
Once the votes are cast and the polling stations close, the painstaking process of counting and analyzing the results begins. The outcome of the elections will determine the composition of the Parliament and shape the political landscape in Iran.
The election results will be analyzed to gauge public sentiment and assess the success of various political parties and candidates. This analysis will offer insights into the priorities and aspirations of the Iranian people, as well as the potential shifts in power dynamics within the country.
Implications for Iran’s Future
In conclusion, Iran’s 2024 elections hold immense significance for the nation and the world. The outcome will shape domestic policies, international relations, and the overall trajectory of the country. Iranians, eager for progress and change, have a crucial opportunity to express their aspirations and influence the course of their nation’s history.
As the results unfold, it will be essential to assess the implications for Iran’s future. Will the elections pave the way for reform and openness, or will they reinforce the status quo? Only time will tell.

We started the year with a new administration and a call from the public for a renewed focus on economic security and opportunity. An uncertain policy environment is fueled by political polarization and a demand for change. In this shifting landscape, it is urgent that we articulate and advance a concrete agenda for children and families that leaders can
embrace at the community, state, and national levels. Both political parties agree: Investing in children and families yields major returns, including safer communities, a more educated workforce, and a stable economy. We have an opportunity to build on this common ground and shared commitment while holding our systems accountable for ensuring
positive outcomes for children, families, and communities.

There are multiple definitions for scale that center around the expansion, replication, and adaptation of programs. Generally when talking about scale, the term is used to mean one individual program expanding its own reach to serve additional populations or deepening its current efforts. This article examines the challenges of individual programs working together to scale. The goal of the collaboration described is for each service provider to reach additional families with unique services (horizontal scale) while also scaling across programs to ensure that a wider array of services are easily accessible for the family (vertical scale).

The BEST episodes of Prop Culture
Every episode of Prop Culture ever, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of Prop Culture!
Film historian and prop collector Dan Lanigan reunites iconic Disney movie props with the filmmakers, actors, and crew who created and used them in some of Disney’s most beloved films. Throughout this journey, Dan will recover lost artifacts, visit private collections, and help restore pieces from the Walt Disney Archives to their original glory. Among the films featured this season are "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," "Mary Poppins," "The Muppet Movie," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and "Tron."


Rocks-e is 2.41 meters long, weighs 471 kg and has a 5.5 kWh battery pack. You can fully charge the battery at home in 3.5 hours, but you can also charge it at a public charging station via an adapter.
The top speed of the Rocks-e is 45 km/h and the WLTP range is 75 km/h. So this two-seater is not a full passenger car; It is mainly intended for city traffic. Getting in and out is made easier with doors that open in different directions.
“With the best charging infrastructure in Europe and many urban areas, the Netherlands offers the perfect climate to make the Opel Rocks-e a success,” says Opel. The manufacturer left in August last year Rock canvas-e. It offers space for two people and there is 63 liters of luggage space in the footwell on the passenger side. The cargo areas behind the seats are intended for sports or shopping bags.
A city car is actually a Citroen Amic (a brand that also belongs to the Stellantis group). Opel has developed its version with a revised strip on the LED daytime running lights, its own brand decals and different wheel covers.
Citroën currently has no plans to bring its own version, the Ami, to the Netherlands. An Opel spokesperson confirms that the price of the Rocks-e will in any case be less than 10,000 euros. That seems logical, because in Germany it is already on the price list from 7,990 euros.
The small Opel can be customized with Klub and Tekno versions. These hippie sound names include a gray body with black stripes on the sides.
For Klub, gray is the main theme of Rocks-e, Tekno adds yellow. skid plates under the bumpers. Opel extends these color schemes to the interior, with inserts around the instrument panel and center console in gray or yellow depending on the version.
LED lighting and a panoramic roof are standard on all trim levels. A smartphone holder in the center console, where your own phone serves as an infotainment system, is available on Klub and Tekno.
After Germany, the Netherlands is Rocks-e’s second market. Opel will announce the exact price and premiere date at a later date.

Pop Tart Lindsay Lohan In Trouble With The IRS! Finally Her Goose Is Cooked!
"It`s hard to keep up with all of Lindsay Lohan`s troubles lately. She was recently arrested and charged with assault in New York, and in California, she was charged the same day with three other crimes. But now Lohan has her finances to worry about, according to TMZ.
The IRS has seized all of the star`s bank accounts, the website reported, because she owes more than $200,000 for unpaid taxes."
If the IRS seizes the master copies of all her movies, the American public will be forever grateful.
Hopefully a burglar will steal all of the pop tart`s alcohol and drugs, she`s done enough drugs to last her a lifetime.
Reportedly about a week ago Charlie Sheen gave the train wreck $100,000 to help her pay off the IRS; let`s hope the moron doesn`t give her any more money.
Charlie instead of giving your money to a loser like Lohan, use some common sense and spend it on cocaine and adult movie starlets.
It was the IRS that finally nabbed Al Capone, thus far judges have let Lohan get away with murder, let`s hope that the IRS will be able to put Lohan behind bars.

Perhaps because they are by their nature optimistic, many offset providers are bullish about their long-term prospects. Based on the views of 200 market participants, the Ecosystem Marketplace Bloomberg New Energy Finance (EMBNEF) report forecasts that the voluntary carbon market will increase in size more than fourfold to 400 million tonnes CO2 in 2012, doubling to 800Mt in 2015 and rising a further 50% to 1.2 billion tonnes by 2020.
Despite this sentiment, most admit that the immediate future is open to debate. Carbon Clear managing director Jamal Gore likens making market predictions to “crystal ball gazing”, referring to the recession, post-Copenhagen uncertainty, concerns over carbon credit supply and new legislation such as the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency scheme as contributory factors.
The recession is dampening demand, starving projects of matched capital and buyers of funds. It has also taken the eyes of the general public and the media off climate change, compounding a general dip in confidence caused by the ‘Climategate’ row that kicked off late last year. The vacuum following the Copenhagen climate summit in December has deprived carbon financiers of clarity, and hopes are not high for the next summit in Cancun this December. Restricted offset supply is a potential risk for the compliance markets, with likely knock-on effects for the voluntary sector.
In addition to the uncertainty created by the lack of any real progress at Copenhagen is the damage caused to public perception around the whole issue of climate change. Many lobbyists, including the UN itself, warned that Copenhagen was “the last chance to save the world”. The failure of the participants to seize the opportunity it presented, combined with the sustained attacks on areas of climate science around the same time, has left the public wondering how great a threat climate change truly is. Some businesses therefore regard the need to demonstrate climate awareness and action as a lower priority than they did a year ago.
As well as these large-scale uncertainties, regional carbon trading initiatives are also influencing the shape and form of the voluntary market. On the up-side, these are stimulating carbon accounting and innovation. On the down-side, there is a risk they could end up diverting budget and human resources.
The UK CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme was launched in April this year, obliging an estimated 3,000 businesses and organisations to forward-buy carbon credits based on projected energy consumption. This cost will be refunded, net of a penalty or rebate based on energy reduction performance, and shown in a public league table. Bound parties will be unsure of their position in the league table, and hence uncertain about costs and public relations implications, until mid-2011. This could tie up carbon budgets until then, with businesses reluctant to buy two sets of credits for different purposes.
But although the UK is at the forefront of much innovation and development of the voluntary market, it is by no means the only influence. As Scott McGregor of Camco put it: “There is an evolving patchwork of regulated markets, including the EU, US and Japan. Voluntary markets fill the gaps, offering those businesses not caught under legislation the chance to demonstrate their credentials, price carbon into their decision-making and pre-empt legislation which may be around the corner.”
But once this legislation is passed, it could have profound implications for the voluntary markets. It depends on its target emitters. Should regulations in the US and China aim for top-tier polluters as the EU emissions trading system does, they will not influence voluntary markets too strongly. But should they target traditional voluntary offset buyers like consumer-facing brands, as the CRC scheme does in part, carbon budgets could be diverted and voluntary markets could suffer.
Frankfurt-based First Climate is an asset manager, project developer and retailer to large corporates, with about a fifth of its business in the voluntary sector. Sascha Lafeld, the firm’s founder and commercial developer, identifies big potential for Chinese growth. He explained: “I can see similarities to where the European market started seven years ago. But in China, there is firm government control and unified public action, and they have the European template to work from. I expect action to be much swifter here.”
In the USA, voluntary demand is rising, despite a host of negative forces in play. According to a Gallup poll in March, fewer Americans are concerned about the threat posed by global warming than since records began 13 years ago, while 48% do not believe it is happening at all. The chances of federal or state cap-and-trade legislation look slimmer than ever.
However, low offset prices are attracting new voluntary and pre-compliance buyers. Furthermore, many carbon professionals remain optimistic that legislation will eventually be passed, according to a recent survey by Point Carbon News. In both China and the US, regulation is likely to start with larger polluters, leaving space for the voluntary markets to operate. But there are no guarantees.
The voluntary markets continue to bring much needed finance and infrastructure to developing countries. South America’s future is bright, with the drive for Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) and REDD+ through the voluntary markets. Brazil’s climate fund recently surpassed $100m and the Voluntary Amazon fund, an important testing ground, has received pledges of up to $1bn from Norway. Preparatory work, such as establishing forestry monitoring systems, is now under way using cash pledged at Copenhagen.
Another benefit of carbon finance is longevity. Aid funders often shift finance regularly around topical development projects or regions. The need for monitoring and verification means that offset finance supports a project for its lifetime, making it a long-term bet.
Environmental service economy
Voluntary market players are also considering the protection of other ecological systems. The Gold Standard is not ruling out the potential to overlay its criteria on markets for water, black carbon (such as biochar) and other ecosystem services.
As we have seen with the recent furore about hydrofluorocarbon projects, there is still much to do in the wider carbon markets. The voluntary sector is leading the way, and in many cases now sets the benchmark. This is not only testament to the work that has put in place stronger standards, but also to the flexibility and adaptability of voluntary credits and their ability to deliver wider benefits beyond carbon.
Voluntary carbon offsetting has gone through a watershed: indiscriminate offsetting without attention to projects or that is based on broader carbon management strategies is a thing of the past. Weaker offset propositions have been culled and buyers have become more sophisticated, developing offset in new directions and devising their own initiatives.
While the puff has been taken out of the heady optimism of 2007, the grip of the invisible green hand of carbon capitalism is strengthening. As Voluntary Carbon Standard chief executive David Antonioli put it: “When we have a perfectly seamless, fully fungible network of interlinked carbon markets then we will have reached the holy grail, and we can go home with the job done.”

DESCRIPTION: Family reunions are important rituals that have long contributed to the survival, health, and endurance of African American families, helping to maintain cultural heritage even in uncertain and turbulent times. Although there is variation in how African Americans hold family reunions these days, some key elements remain constant. One constant is that these events generate such power, in large part, from the participation of the elders—the keepers of the African American legacy.Sway Lee: I'm sorry Marina, i probably shouldn't, but i was laughing SO hard at 17 rofl :D :'D

Last year Mopar came out with the first ever car branded as a Mopar in the history of the brand. Called the Mopar ’10, it was a heavily modified Dodge Challenger, and it instantly sold out. So now Mopar is coming out with the Mopar ’11, a modified Dodge Charger. We asked Pietro Gorlier, the CEO of Mopar, to take us through the car and show us what it has.

They say you can’t return to the past, but Dr. Bill Lumsden, head of distilling and whisky creation for Scotland’s popular single malt, Glenmorangie, has done just that with Finealta ($79.99), one of the brand’s newest Private Editions. Finealta means “elegant” in Gaelic, and it is indeed a delicate dram, harkening back to La Belle Epoque era, when, in 1903, the distillery received a request for a special cask of its finest single malt to be delivered to the Savoy Hotel in London.
Upon finding the original request and recipe in the distillery’s archives, Lumsden and his team re-created this historic whisky, utilizing, as before, spirits aged in both plain oak and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. During the turn of the 19th century, Glenmorangie dried its malted barley over peat-fueled fires. Initially, this peat was dug from the nearby Tarlogie Hills, but later, it came from the Orkney Islands, where a lack of trees gave the peat a floral composition, which carried over to the whisky. As a result, the soft flavors of Finealta are laced with moist flowers, dewy grass, apricots, almonds, and toasted bread containing a whiff of smoke. Fittingly, in October 2010 Finealta was again launched at London’s Savoy Hotel, as well as in Duty Free shops. For those who dream of bygone days, Finealta, which is non-chill filtered and bottled at 92 proof, is now available in the U.S. as well. (+01862.892477, www.glenmorangie.com)
