COTE D’IVOIRE’S “Iron Lady” Simone Gbagbo, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday, basked in her role as the power behind the throne during her husband Laurent Gbagbo’s regime, but to foes she was a pitiless killer.
Gbagbo is wanted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC), where her husband already faces justice, but she has instead been on trial in Abidjan, alongside 82 officials from the former ruling party.
On Tuesday, the former first lady was jailed for 20 years for “undermining state security” during post-election violence in 2010-2011 that left nearly 3,000 dead.
She had been accused of actively supporting Laurent Gbagbo in his bid to keep power after his electoral defeat in November 2010 ended a turbulent decade in office.
The court “unanimously” condemned her to 20 years in jail, court president Tahirou Dembele said in a statement Tuesday.
Gbagbo’s face hardened as the verdict was read. She was “a little affected” by the sentence, her lawyer Me Rodrigue Dadje told AFP. “I am ashamed of Ivorian justice,” he said, adding that they would appeal the sentence.
“We showed that impunity in Ivory Coast must not continue,” said state prosecutor Soungalo Coulibaly.
Laurent Gbagbo’s son Michel, a French-born dual national from a previous marriage, was also sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the violence.
The couple were arrested in April 2011 by forces loyal to new President Alassane Ouattara during a French-backed military operation, after five months of fighting that claimed at least 3,000 lives.
Fervently Christian but ruthless by reputation, Simone Gbagbo has never sought to deny exercising political influence after her husband rose to power in 2000 elections in which former prime minister Ouattara was barred from standing on the grounds he was a foreigner.
“All the ministers respect me, and they often consider me above them. I’ve got what it takes to be a minister,” she told the French newsweekly l’Express in 2001, justifying her stance after a life she said had been dedicated to activism.
“I engaged in political struggle against the former regime alongside men. I spent six months in prison, I was beaten, molested, left for dead. After all those trials, it’s logical that people don’t mess with me.”
Does not wilt
A key issue in her trial was whether she played a part in directing the death squads that ran amok in the weeks after the disputed vote.
Judicial authorities argued that the proceedings were a test of the west African country’s capacity to conduct a fair trial, while contributing to national reconciliation.
As observers noted at the December 26 opening of her case—when Gbagbo appeared in a bright yellow dress, carefully plaited hair and a defiant air—she is not inclined to wilt in the face of adversity.
Born in the predominantly Christian south in 1949 as one of 18 children of a policeman, she studied linguistics and history before becoming a trade union activist.
Her militancy led to a jail term in the 1970s for openly criticising then president Felix Houphouet-Boigny—Cote d’Ivoire’s first leader after independence from France in 1960—when he rejected opposition calls for multi-party elections.
She and Laurent Gbagbo married in 1989 after founding the opposition socialist Ivorian Popular Front (FPI), and she was later elected to parliament in the world’s leading cocoa producer.
Her husband sought to change relations with former colonial master Paris, arguing that previous regimes had been servile, and the first lady proved a fierce critic of “neo-colonialism”, once famously describing France’s former president Nicolas Sarkozy—a main mover in her husband’s downfall—as “the devil”.
Supporters of Simone Gbagbo’s commitment to political causes hailed her as “the Hillary Clinton of the tropics”.
But for detractors, the “Iron Lady” became the “Blood Lady”, amid allegations by human rights activists that the regime used teams of killers to deal with opponents.
Those concerns were reinforced when she was implicated by a French judicial inquiry into the sinister disappearance of French-Canadian journalist Guy-Andre Kieffer in Cote d’Ivoire in 2004.
Gbagbo frequently mingled politics with the evangelical faith she practised after “miraculously” surviving a car crash and starting prayer meetings at the presidential palace.
“God is on our side, God is with us,” she told a joyful crowd after her husband rejected electoral defeat. “God has already given us victory.”
Families of victims have said previously they cannot win even if Gbagbo is convicted by a domestic court, while rights monitors had been keen to see how far the trial may venture in tackling crimes against humanity on home ground.

Monsanto has donated $4 million in seeds to Haiti, sending 60 tons of conventional hybrid corn and vegetable seed, followed by 70 more tons of corn seed last week with an additional 345 tons of corn seed to come during the next year. Yet the number one recommendation of a recent report by Catholic Relief Services on post-earthquake Haiti is to focus on local seed fairs and not to introduce new or “improved” varieties at this time.
Some tough questions need to be asked and answered before we’ll know whether or not Monsanto’s donation will help or hurt long-term efforts to rebuild food sufficiency and sovereignty in Haiti. Here are five of them:

If you have been active in the crypto space lately, you probably would have heard people talking about the Pi coin and the Pi network.
The Pi coin was introduced in 2019 by Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan. Nicolas Kokkalis holds a doctorate degree in Computer Science from Stanford University. His major work, the Pi Network, is definitely a hit as it has over 50 million downloads on Google Play Store.
What is the Pi coin?
Generally, when new users come into the crypto space, they’re lured by several sites and platforms asking them to mine Bitcoin and other big cryptocurrencies but in reality, they’re all scams as Bitcoin requires a mining rig setup to be able to mine it.
However, Nicolas and his team at Stanford University promised and delivered easy crypto mining with the Pi Network. Users can download the app on their smartphones and begin mining, receiving Pi coins as rewards.
The Pi coin has no fixed total supply and doesn’t have any significant publicly available information about the on-chain data. The Block explorer at the time of this writing doesn’t even show a price for Pi.
What is the Pi Network?
The entire Pi ecosystem is known as Pi Network. The miners, supporters, and holders of the Pi coin are referred to as Pioneers. The Pi Blockchain has been a testnet since 2020. Although there are already migration plans to the mainnet, the mainnet is not fully live yet. After migration to the mainnet, Pioneers will finally be able to use Pi coin as every other cryptocurrency. As of now, the Pi coin remains a reward for its miners in form of a cryptocurrency with a promise to be tradeable in the future, and the value is determined by those trading it through peer-to-peer.
The Pi coin is not listed on any exchange yet, nor does it have any significant liquidity or demand in an open market. All those who have sold or bought it did so through peer-to-peer and they’re mostly buying because of the mainnet launch news and the hope for it to become something big considering the massive community.
Is the Pi Network a scam?
It will be wrong to call a project a scam when it has not taken money from people. All you need to mine Pi is a mobile phone and internet access. You can also increase your Pi mining rate by inviting more people to the network, the more they mine, the more you earn.
However, it’s been 3 years since Pi mining began. It keeps getting popular by the day, yet the mainnet is not fully live. It is hard to believe that in 2022 when web3 developers have increased by a large number, projects like Pi are still maturing slowly.
Let’s not throw away the fact that the Pi app displays ads to Pioneers. With total downloads of 50 million on Android alone, assuming only 10% are active users and they have to open the app every 24hrs to click the “Earn Pi” button. 5 million active users daily is still a huge number in the advertising industry for the founders of Pi to be raking in millions while Pioneers lose “nothing”.
What’s the buzz about Pi?
The Pi Network recently released a migration plan for Pioneers from the testnet to the mainnet. This will enable them to have a Pi wallet, send and receive Pi coins, and probably trade it on exchanges like other cryptocurrencies. Migrating to the Pi mainnet consists of 8 processes that have been explained in detail in this article.
The rush to hold some Pi coins prior to the full mainnet launch is what has caused so many talks about it in the crypto space. Non-pioneers are not sure whether to buy, and Pioneers are also not sure whether to sell or hold.
Keep an eye on this blog for updates concerning the Pi Network and other trending or useful articles in the crypto space.
This article is not to discourage or encourage anyone to mine, buy, or sell Pi. It is simply an article written based on publicly available information which has all been referenced. Whatever decision you make is up to you.

Watch Now: DIRTY MONEY
Labeled in the French market as Un flic, with an alternate English title A Cop, Dirty Money is Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1972 crime film in which the filmmaker once again collaborates with Alain Delon. While in Le Samourai and Le Cercle Rouge Delon was a criminal, here he plays a police detective passionately laboring on the trail of a notorious thief played by Richard Crenna. The thief and his three accomplices rob a bank, but as one of his colleagues is wounded, they put him in a private clinic only to have him assassinated later – no loose ends, of course. The dedicated police inspector, however, doesn’t stop as he closes in on the criminal leader, who he sees as his arch-enemy in more than one way: the criminal’s mistress is also the detective’s occasional lover.
With the ever-wonderful Catherine Deneuve as the woman placed between the hunter and the hunted, Dirty Money is Melville’s dark and exciting crime thriller that features a spectacular 20-minute sequence of executing an elaborate train robbery. Melville’s storytelling is superb, and the characters are written and portrayed as complex and morally always in a gray zone. Un flic might always remain overshadowed by the likes of Le Samourai or Le Cercle Rouge, but it’s still one hell of a crime film.

And just like during the French revolution, no matter how hard oligarchy tried to suppress the lower, working classes--because everything was working swimmingly for the elites--the oppressed would not submit easily or without a fight.
It might behoove the elites of today to remember that things didn't work out that well for them once the scales had tipped so far over. It didn't end up well for our own elites at the collapse of the Gilded Age either.
But the elites aren't necessarily guided by history or empathy. Their motivation, be it unmitigated greed or lust for power, has blinded them to the fact that this imbalance is unsustainable.
So that is why it's perfectly natural for the corporate media outlet CNN to frame a debate on raising the federal minimum wage by quoting privileged billionaires who think that they are somehow more worthy because of their portfolios (and make the ludicrous claim that they work harder than the poor for their money--as if watching interest grow is more laborious than having to work two or three minimum wage jobs just to put food on the table). Let's ask Steve Forbes, whose personal wealth is upwards of $430 million what he thinks about raising the federal minimum to $20,200 a year. He knows what it's like to look at that little paycheck and figuring out how to stretch it to pay for rent, food, healthcare, insurance, transportation and other basic life necessities, right?
Here's an idea: if you want to have a debate about raising the minimum wage, how about asking the opinion of someone who actually earns it? Steve Forbes has no credible knowledge of how it will impact the economy, because everything he says is directly contradicted by the evidence of every other time we've raised the minimum wage.
Look, it's your necks, elites. We can either remember the lessons of history, or we can keep telling 99 percent of Americans to eat cake, when they cannot afford bread. But it seems short-sighted to me for all of your money-making expertise.

Best player prop bets for Wednesday's NHL slate: Rantanen to help Colorado finish strong
We’ve got a five-game slate for Wednesday’s NHL card, but there still plenty of opportunities to find some value. Right now, we’re going to be focusing on player props, bringing you a few of our favorite props. Before you bet these, make sure you also check out our picks on the side and total for every game.
Auston Matthews Over 1 Point (-178)
The Toronto Maple Leafs have already won the North Division rather easily, but will want to stay fresh here tonight against the below average Ottawa Senators. Here we are going with more of a chalky play and that would be Auston Matthews for the Maple Leafs. He is second on his team with 65 points, but has a league leading 40 goals on the season. Matthews has 16 points this season against Ottawa alone, and that is through eight head to head games. He has cashed this prop in four of those eight, pushed this prop three times and failed to score a point in just one of these games. For that reason, we like Matthews to end his season strong.
Be sure to check out our full game preview for Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators.
Kevin Fiala Over 0.5 Points (-136)
The Wild have long since clinched the playoffs, but will have a small chance to catch the Colorado Avalanche for second place in the West. Minnesota do trail Colorado by three points, but have one more game after tonight, while Colorado will play their last game tonight. Here we will be backing a Wild player that has proven to be successful against the Blues. That being Kevin Fiala. He has 40 points this season, good for second on the team. Though he is a very balanced player, with 20 assists and 20 goals on the season. In five games against the Blues, Fiala has a total of six points. He has cashed this prop in three of the five meetings, with five point in the last two games combined. Because of this recent success, we will be backing Fiala to score a point.
Be sure to check out our full game preview for Minnesota Wild vs. St. Louis Blues.
Mikko Rantanen Over 1 Point (-168)
The Colorado Avalanche are hoping to finish the season strong in their final two games with the hoping of maybe just edging out the Vegas Golden Knights for the West Division title. It will likely take a lot, but winning these final two games will be the start. They also are just three points in front of Minnesota, so if Colorado collapse, there is still the chance they could fall to third place. Regardless, we are going to back one of the best Avalanche players around and that is Mikko Rantanen. He is second on the team with 61 points and is leading Colorado with 30 goals. In six games against the Kings, Rantanen has scored at least one point in every game with two games being multi-point.

ST. PETERSBURG — A group of German firms say they'll take further steps to bring a solar equipment factory and energy farm to Pinellas County after three days of "successful," high-powered meetings this week.
At a Rays game, a high-brow reception and a series of closed-door meetings, the German business consortium presented its vision for making St. Petersburg a hub for solar energy to officials from the city, county and state.
The group wants to use the 247-acre former Toytown landfill site as the possible home for a solar energy farm, said Heino Ackert, whose company, NEP New Energy Project & Finance of Berlin, is one of three that would develop the project.
"That is what is going on in Germany in many cases," Ackert said about building a solar farm atop a landfill.
In addition, the group wants to set up a plant that manufactures solar products near the Pinellas Technical Education Centers in Midtown. Ackert said it envisions the plant expanding so it can ship solar products throughout the Americas.
"I think the city is very positive because they expect to see the creation of jobs," Ackert said. "They are offering help of any kind."
The number of jobs would include 160 at the manufacturing operation as well as another 100 with the solar farm. Ackert also expects the project would help grow other businesses in the area.
Uwe Sterling, a German investor with long ties to St. Petersburg who is part of the project, said they see St. Petersburg as an ideal location for setting up a major solar operation.
"You have the best conditions of all: a lot of vacant land, sunshine every day," Sterling said.
During their visit, the group of three businesses signed confidentiality agreements with government officials, generally a first step if taxpayer incentives are sought.
Mike Meidel, economic development director for Pinellas County, met with the consortium but declined comment because of the agreement.
The visit began Monday with meetings with Mayor Bill Foster and other city officials. The St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce hosted a reception Tuesday at SRI International.
There was no discussion of specific dollar amounts for investment.
Ackert is a well-heeled lawyer from Berlin who has been forging business relationships with the West for the last decade. He also has been working on solar projects for the last 10 years.
What makes the proposition of Ackert setting up operations in St. Petersburg even more appealing is that coming from Germany, he brings knowledge of some of the world's cutting-edge technology in renewable energy.
Since the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, Germany announced plans to phase out nuclear power by 2022. Germany already has shut down eight nuclear plants.
Pinellas County Commissioner Ken Welch voiced enthusiasm about the project but noted that it is "very preliminary."
"It's an exciting concept," Welch said. "There are a lot details to work through."
City Council member Karl Nurse said one hurdle might be that Florida lacks a renewable energy policy, like 29 other states in the nation. The policies help solar businesses generate enough money to make a profit.
"They clearly want to come," Nurse said. "It's complicated because Florida is a state that doesn't have a system where anybody can sell power to the power company at a price that makes sense to do this."
Nurse, president of Bay Tech Label, said one of the proposals includes installing solar panels on roof tops, an urban design plan that is one of the group's specialties.
"The first one that comes off the line, you can put it on my roof, and I'll do it," he said.
Mario Farias, the managing director of Farias Marketing Group who has been handling the development of the business effort in the United States, said the meetings this week were better than they had hoped.
Farias said the state's lack of a renewable energy policy will not hinder the project.
"We see it as an opportunity," Farias said.
A news conference about the project is scheduled for 1 p.m. today at the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce with Farias and Jeff Adams, vice president of Griffin Contracting, which would be the locally licensed contractor for the solar project.
Times researcher Shirl Kennedy contributed to this report. Ivan Penn can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org or (727) 892-2332. Follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/Consumers_Edge and find the Consumer's Edge on Facebook.


The TIRCIS instrument is not subject to the same volume constraints so a traditional blackbody paddle scheme will be employed for radiance calibration (Figure 5). Two paddles will be actively heated or cooled by thermoelectric modules in order to achieve ideal “hot” and “cold” calibration temperatures determined by the scene temperatures of interest. A third blackbody paddle will be allowed to float at ambient and will be temperature monitored. Cooling straps will be used to channel excess heat to the chassis in the case of vacuum operation. A blackbody wheel containing a hot, cold, and ambient blackbody again heated and cooled using thermoelectric modules will also be employed between the interferometer and relay lens for flat field correction; however, a goal of this project is to improve removal of fringes from the paddle blackbody data collects and use these data for flat field correction to assess whether the interior blackbody can be retired from future designs
Wavelength calibration for both sensors to convert from optical path difference on the detector to wavelength is done using narrow band filters. Since the interferometer design we employ has no moving parts, once determined, wavelength calibration should be unchanged during operation. However, once in orbit, the continuing quality of the wavelength calibration for SUCHI can be checked against the ozone feature at 9.6 microns.

Tribunal dismisses another petition challenging Buhari’s victory
The Presidential Election Tribunal Wednesday dismissed another petition challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the 2019 Nigeria presidential election.
The petitioner People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) and its presidential candidate, Aminchi Habu were challenging Buhari’s second term election at the February 23, 2019 poll.
PDM’s lawyer, Aliyu Lemu applied for the withdrawal of the petition to the five-man tribunal led by Justice Mohammed Garba.
The respondents which consist of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari and the All Progressives Congress did not oppose the application.
The tribunal in a unanimous ruling subsequently dismissed the petition.
The dismissal by the tribunal came over a month after the tribunal dismissed a petition by the Coalition for Change against Buhari, INEC and the APC on Monday, June 10.
The petitioner, Coalition for Change, requested withdrawal of the case through its lawyer, Obed Agwu, at the resumed hearing before the presidential election tribunal on Monday.
The withdrawal was not opposed by lawyers of President Buhari, the All Progressives Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Justice Mohammed Garba-led panel of the tribunal subsequently dismissed the petition.
The dismissal of the petition means there are only two petitions including that of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar against Buhari’s victory at the poll.
Buhari was declared the winner of the presidential election February 27 and was inaugurated for a second tenure as Nigeria president at the Eagle Square, Abuja on May 29.
Abubakar, a former ally of President Buhari, led a motley pack of challengers, most of whom posed no serious obstacle to Buhari’s re-election.
INEC chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu in February said Buhari polled 15, 191, 847 votes while Abubakar, a former Nigerian vice president between 1999 and 2007, got 11, 262, 978 votes.
But Abubakar and the PDP claimed the election was ‘massively rigged’ to hand Buhari a second term in office.

Thomas Betterton, (born c. 1635, London, Eng.—died April 28, 1710, London), leading English actor of the Restoration period and author of several popular adaptations.
Betterton made his debut in 1659 and in 1661 was hired by Sir William Davenant for the Duke’s Company, which played successively at the Lincoln’s Inn Fields Theatre and at Dorset Garden. After the collapse of the rival King’s Men, the two companies merged (1682), and the joint companies, with Betterton as the artistic leader, played at Drury Lane until 1695, when Betterton and the older players revolted against Christopher Rich, the spokesman for the patentees. Betterton led the secession of the players who moved into Lincoln’s Inn Fields Theatre and later into the new Haymarket. He was survived by his wife, the former Mary Saunderson (d. 1712), an actress who had made her mark in Shakespearean roles. As a couple they were known for their encouragement and training of younger performers.
Betterton’s range of characters was extremely wide. He created about 120 new roles, aside from playing such leading parts in the older dramas as Hamlet, Macbeth, Henry VIII, Mercutio, King Lear, Othello, Brutus, and Hotspur. His Hamlet and Sir Toby Belch were said to be equally credible. Contemporary observers agree that Betterton used restraint in his acting.


Altogether Group has eye on the future
Leading the way in sustainable and affordable essential service provision, future-focused companies Flow Systems, Flow Utilities and Meter2Cash Solutions have unveiled a new brand identity — Altogether Group — providing a multi-utility offering in water, energy and data.
Altogether Group CEO Terry Leckie said the rebranding is a direct reflection of the group’s development, which aims to continue to grow and identify new ways of ensuring sustainable, cost-conscious services for communities.
“Our name change reflects the maturity of our business as a multi-utility serving communities across Queensland and New South Wales,” he said.
“With better ways of using, producing and thinking about power, water and data, we are working together with strata and building managers, body corporates, developers and communities to create a better future for everyone.
“We currently provide electricity, gas, hot water and potable water embedded network services to over 25,000 customers through our local teams in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney. Our vision is to increase this to 100,000 within the next three years.”
Leckie said managing multiple services allows the company to take advantage of opportunities in terms of resource recovery, but also to take a more holistic approach to meeting community needs.
“From a multi-utility perspective, we work with water and energy, but we’re also moving into data. We manage our own data, but we are looking to manage community data, too,” he said.
“You can’t supply water effectively without energy and without data. Nor can you supply energy efficiently without water and data. Further, you can’t provide data services securely without water and energy.
“These three essential services are completely reliant upon each other.”
One of the biggest benefits of a multi-utility approach to service provision is the cost-savings the utility is able to pass down to its customers, Leckie said.
“New communities in general are having to pay more for their utility services in order to satisfy their needs. And there are now many changing needs within communities, in terms of the need for green and blue spaces to combat extreme heat, for example” Leckie said.
“But also a demand for more reliable and secure service provision — in energy and data too. While governments are certainly focusing on these things, the reality is that to create improved liveability and additional services, communities are required to pay more.
“As a local, multi-utility, we give control back to the community. We do that by capturing resources locally. We provide the technology and infrastructure to make these resources available for the community and supply these services at a lower cost than that which would be required if these resources were obtained elsewhere.
“Working locally, within the community, allows us to meet the community’s changing needs without increasing the cost. It’s not only a decentralised service provision arrangement, it’s also local.”
More than 400 communities currently receive essential service provision from the company, including the world-leading recycled water system at Sydney’s Central Park.
“Sydney's Central Park is one of our flagship projects. It’s been very successful. It’s been set up to capture all of the water available in that precinct,” Leckie said.
“We mine wastewater from the Sydney Water sewer that runs through the site, we recycle green wall run-off and recycle it to give back to the plants and we capture stormwater.
“All these water sources come to our recycled water facility, which is the largest of its kind in the world, located in the basement of a residential building. It’s an outstanding example of effectively providing multiple water services, from multiple sources, within the community where the resources are captured.
“There are two recycled water networks within the precinct. One is water we use for cooling towers, the other crystal clear water, which requires the use of less energy to prepare, and that is used for clothes washing, toilet flushing and irrigation.”
Leckie said that next-generation utility services are transforming communities around the world, offering innovation, jobs, economic growth, resilience and a circular approach to resource management.
“At the heart of what we do is empowering communities to thrive by delivering reliable, localised essential services,” he said.
“We’re constantly opening new doors and exploring new possibilities to progress communities. That’s why we capture local resources, reduce wastage, and offer more affordable solutions — in turn, helping to build more resilient communities.”

Ethanol is an everyday choice at the gas pump, but everyday consumers may not understand the fight behind the fuel.
Biofuel waivers released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) caused a strain on corn growers and ethanol producers, according to Ron Lamberty, senior vice president of the American Coalition for Ethanol.
“What you’ve got is these refiners who were required to buy 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuels per year, who got basically told by EPA that they don’t have to buy it,” Lamberty said. “What happens is, because the ethanol producers have to produce 15 billion, you end up selling them at basically clearance sale prices.”
The exemption program saved oil refineries money in regulatory costs, but Lamberty said the corn and ethanol industry is suffering because of it with plants closing or operating below capacity.
The New York Times reported that, in late January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit mandated the EPA to reconsider waivers given to oil refineries exempting them from the nation’s biofuel blending laws, and reduce the number of waivers handed out in the future. That decision is expected to be released in March.
“All we want the administration and EPA to do is to follow the law the way it’s written because that’s what those businesses planned for,” Lamberty said. “That’s what they were able to depend on. To have that pulled out from under them, it’s not right.”
Lamberty said ethanol and livestock feed go head-to-head as being the biggest markets for corn. The industry uses nearly 5 billion bushels of corn each year, a number that could be increased if there were higher blends of ethanol.
“When you have that much corn and you have competition for it, it helps keep the price where it’s competitive,” Lamberty said.
Despite its prevalence in fuel blends, Lamberty added there are still several misconceptions about ethanol. One is that the industry is subsidized by the government. He said the concept started as a tax credit for blending ethanol with gasoline.
“If you were a station owner, like I was at the time, you basically — instead of paying 18 cents federal tax — paid 13,” Lamberty said. “Basically, it was a discount that ended up getting passed on at the pump, but that expired in 2011.”
While the renewable fuel standard was a government mandate that required a set amount of ethanol be used, Lamberty said it was an unusual situation because oil companies were being required to use a cheaper fuel.
“Normally, you mandate stuff because it’s too expensive,” Lamberty said. “We need to have access to those markets because they have control of them and would freeze us out otherwise. The other part about that is it was a business deal. These plants were built knowing that these markets were out there. They need to go back to the deal.”
Most vehicles on the road can operate on an ethanol blend. The American Coalition for Ethanol said standard vehicles from 2001 or newer can use E15, and flex-fuel vehicles can use E85. Lamberty encouraged drivers to check owners manuals before making a fuel switch at the pump but said, contrary to what many drivers think, the fuel has not caused engine issues.
“You can talk to any retailer who sells it,” Lamberty said. “There hasn’t been a single legitimate complaint against E15 by a car owner. It’s a safe fuel. It’s been around forever. We wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t safe.”
Another common question is whether or not ethanol is taking a food product off the market. The Wisconsin Corn Growers Association stated ethanol production has little or no effect on food prices because it is made with the starch of No. 2 Yellow corn, not sweet corn or canned corn, bought in a grocery store.
The No. 2 Yellow corn is widely used for livestock feed, and one of the largest producers of corn feed for animals is the U.S. ethanol industry, according to Lamberty. The feed leaves the ethanol plant in the form of distillers grains, a co-product of producing the fuel.
Another reason the American Coalition for Ethanol pushes the fuel is because it is a renewable resource.
“You’ve got a plant that takes Carbon Dioxide out of the air,” Lamberty said. “It is actually storing carbon in the soil because of the root system it has. Then, we use it to make fuel only taking the starch out. The rest of it turns into corn oil that’s used for various purposes and livestock feed. Then, we grow it again the following year. It is a clean fuel that we can make more of.”
The ethanol industry also said the biofuel can help reduce pollutants because it oxygenates fuel to help it burn more completely, lowering emissions.
“It burns cooler,” Lamberty said. “It is a higher octane fuel, and it costs less.”
In the end, Lamberty was hopeful for a solution to renewable fuel standards to get plants operating again, employing workers, and buying corn from farmers.

ReVision is First to offer The Raindrop Near Vision Solution for Reading Glasses
ReVision is the First Eye Doctor in Columbus to offer Raindrop Near Vision Inlays for Presbyopia Correction
Columbus, Ohio – Thursday, January 26, 2017, D. James Schumer, M.D. of ReVision LASIK and Cataract Surgery will be the first eye doctor in Columbus to provide the FDA approved Raindrop Near Vision Inlay option for presbyopia correction.
As we age, our eyes start to lose the ability to focus on up-close objects, resulting in the need to wear reading glasses. This condition is presbyopia; when the natural lens of the eye loses the ability to focus. Everyone develops presbyopia at some point in their life, usually around the age of 40.
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is a transparent inlay 2mm in size that is placed in one eye, just beneath the surface during a 10-minute outpatient surgical procedure. The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is made up of 80% water it is roughly the size of a pinhead. The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay gently creates a shape change of the cornea that improves patients near vision reducing the need for reading glasses.
Anyone who just needs reading glasses to complete their daily tasks, such as seeing fine print, reading text on the phone, or working on the computer could be a candidate for the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay. For more information or to schedule a complimentary appointment, please contact us or call ReVision at 800-475-2113.

If you’ve been searching for a budget-friendly smartphone with a Full View display, honor Malaysia’s got good news for you. The company will be putting their already good-value honor 9 Lite smartphone on a 1-day only sale this week.
Been waiting for HTC Malaysia to finally launch their affordable mid-range handsets, the Desire 12 and Desire 12+, locally? You won’t have to wait much longer because the handset is finally coming this week. And if you’re quick, you can get it at up to RM170 off.
Last week, Xiaomi has unveiled the Black Shark, a high-end gaming smartphone that could take on the Razer phone. If you’re interested to buy one in Malaysia, you can get it as early as the end of this week through a grey importer.
Ever looked at the Samsung Galaxy Note8 and gone “yeah, I like the internals, but I wish it was in another smartphone body and had a different Android skin on top that looks even more kiddish”? Good news! There’s now a phone for you and it’s Meizu‘s brand new flagship handset.
The compact iPhone SE is expected to be replaced very soon. Earlier on, it was rumoured to come with a fresh redesign which looks like the iPhone X. According to a new rumour, the new compact iPhone could be announced as early as May and it could retain the same iconic design as before.
ASUS will be unveiling the ZenFone Max Pro M1 which appears to be the successor to its current ZenFone Max Plus M1. It gets a larger 6” display in an 18:9 aspect ratio and it packs pretty decent hardware that could challenge Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5.
If you don’t like ASUS ZenFone for its UI and “bloatware”, you might just change your mind with this upcoming mid-range smartphone.
Remember Liam, the recycling robot? In conjunction with Earth Day, Apple has introduced a newer robot and it’s called Daisy. Just like its predecessor, Daisy can take apart high-quality materials from old devices which other manufacturers can’t. On top of that, it can disassemble up to 200 iPhone devices per hour. That’s about 18 seconds per iPhone.
Just days after the launch of the OPPO F7 in Malaysia, the selfie-centric smartphone brand has just announced the arrival of its higher-spec version that comes with 128GB of storage. If you prefer the F7 with more storage, you can place your pre-order for the OPPO F7 128GB edition as early as next Monday.
If you were thinking of picking up a Nokia 7 Plus today, you would be disappointed. The latest Nokia smartphone was supposed to go on sale in Malaysia today but it will be available for purchase by the end of next week.
Before noon today, TuneTalk subscribers were facing issues with their data connectivity. The problem was resolved around 3.30PM this afternoon and TuneTalk has apologised for the downtime. To make up for the inconvenience caused, they are giving all subscribers free data tomorrow.

My toddler son was recently given a book of Disney stories. We have read one or two of them each day for the past few months.
He is captivated.
One of his favorite things to do is to have us read a story and then ask to see a clip of that same movie via You Tube. Somewhere along the line, he started asking to see clips of the villains of each story. He’s really into Sleeping Beauty right now and as an extension, wants to watch clips of the villain, Maleficent. Maleficent fascinates him but also scares him. He is two and is too young to understand what a character is, but we told him she is just a character.
“She is pretend,” we say.
He acts like he understands that, but seconds later will ask if Maleficent will be coming over to our house scare him.
His fear has escalated to the point where he will be eating lunch and suddenly look around and say, “Mommy protect me so Maleficent doesn’t come get me.” I hug him and tell him that his Daddy and I will protect him and that we love him.
At dinner he did something he has never done.
He grabbed my hand as we were both eating and wouldn’t let go.
He was scared. A couple times I tried to take back my hand so I could cut some of my food, and I wanted to see if he would forget that he needed the comfort of holding my hand. He didn’t. He would grab it again right away. So, I looked at my 2 year old’s hand, clutching mine, and the fear mixed with tentative comfort in his face,
and I held on.
I decided to happily eat my dinner one handed. If my little guy needed his Mommy that bad, and needed the comfort of holding my hand, so be it. I think sometimes as parents we discount a child’s fears if they don’t seem reasonable to us. I do this at times, just as we all do. But this time, I decided to hold onto that little hand.
I would pour my love through my fingers to this little guy who needed it.
Someday when his hand is larger than mine, I will look back on this with love in my heart and I’ll smile.

The Swiss Federal Council has approved an extension of the gaming licenses of land-based operators Grand Casino Kursaal Bern AG and Casino Interlaken AG to offer online casino games. The casinos can launch online operations as soon as the Federal Gaming Board (ESBK) approves their online gambling product offering.
Casino Interlaken is already teasing a countdown to the launch of its gambling website, which will operate under the StarVegas brand. StarVegas is operated by Novomatic’s Malta-licensed Beatya Online Entertainment subsidiary and is already operational in Italy and Spain. The Bern venue, which is operated by Casinos Austria International, has yet to detail its online plans, but CAI has partnered with online gambling operator Betway in other markets.
The ESBK previously approved four other casino operators launching online in June. There are 21 land-based casino licensees, all of which are eligible to apply for online licenses under the gambling expansion legislation that took effect on January 1.

What if we only let the Motion Picture Association watch the first five minutes of a film before assigning a rating? So no matter how gory, no matter how many swears, or how much nudity appears after that, a movie could qualify for a G rating.
That’s the gist of a new bill championed by nuclear waste giant EnergySolutions that is now sitting on Gov. Gary Herbert’s desk awaiting his signature.
At issue is a unique form of waste: concentrated depleted uranium.
It grows hotter over time. So hot that, eventually, it will surpass the limits on what is legally acceptable for disposal in Utah. Make no mistake, this waste is vastly different than the waste currently allowed at the facility. Its radioactive decay products will eventually exceed Utah’s Class C waste limits.
Has EnergySolutions taken this kind of waste in the past? Yes. But that amount (49,000 tons) pales in comparison to the estimated 800,000 tons it would like to take. And that waste was allowed into Utah because, at the time, state officials only assessed its safety over 500 years — a tiny snapshot of the hazard this waste will pose as it decays.
As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has observed: “Whereas the activity in a commercial LLW facility decreases to a few percent of the initial value over a few hundred years, the activity in a facility for depleted uranium would be expected to remain relatively constant initially, but begin increasing at around 1,000 years.”
Thankfully, Utah’s Radiation Control Board remedied this problem in 2010, requiring EnergySolutions to consider public health and safety over a more appropriate timeframe.
That safety assessment is now ongoing. But in the meantime, EnergySolutions wants to ensure that state regulators can’t classify concentrated depleted uranium based on what we know it will become through the physics of radioactive decay — only what it is today.
This is the wrong approach for Utah. We should never pave the way for more dangerous waste by tying the hands of the state scientists who are tasked with protecting our state’s health and environment. Because once Utah opens the door to this nuclear waste, we will never be able to get rid of it. Just look at what has happened in the past.
A 2012 legislative audit found clear examples of banned waste that had been buried at EnergySolutions. But that waste was allowed to remain.
From the audit: “EnergySolutions made the case to the DRC that it was more hazardous to human health to dig up and send the waste back to the generators than to allow it to remain unmoved in the disposal cells.”6 comments on this story
In other words, EnergySolutions is happy to take on risks to workers and Utah’s environment to get the waste here. But once it’s buried and paid for, the risks to remove it are somehow simply too great.
Gov. Herbert stood up for 76 percent of Utahns who oppose depleted uranium disposal when he turned back trainloads of the stuff sent by the Department of Energy. At the time he said, “Good public policy requires good science, and I am concerned that DOE's decision to ship this waste to Utah now is based more on politics than on science.”
Let’s not let EnergySolutions use politics to now obfuscate that science.

It’s important to note, especially at this time of year, that flooding is not covered by a standard home insurance policy.
(PRWEB) April 04, 2013
Earth Month was a great time to celebrate the beauty of our planet as the spring brings back green grass and sunshine. But spring can also be unpredictable, and severe weather can present a risk. Be prepared for the less pleasant aspects of spring weather with these simple tips from ComparaSave.com.
Know the Flood Risk.
Certain areas are very prone to flooding in the spring, and being prepared can make all the difference. Even areas that aren’t commonly flooded can be at risk depending on the snow levels and how quickly that snow melts in the spring. Keep an eye on local water levels, especially nearby rivers and lakes, and watch for flood warnings.
Keeping drainage systems clear and ensuring the property allows excess water to flow away from the home is a vital part of home maintenance that can prevent flood damage. In some cases, sandbags may be required to prevent rising water from approaching the home. “It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so over-prepare for potential flooding rather than simply hoping for the best,” says Tammy Ezer of ComparaSave.com.
Watch Out for High Winds.
Spring storms can bring high winds that can knock over fences and even trees. While there’s little that can be done to protect against wind, homeowners can make sure things are secured and the likelihood of damage is reduced.
Watch our for signs that any trees nearby might be dead – if they don’t show signs of coming back after the winter it’s time to bring in an expert. Dead trees are at a higher risk of falling down during heavy winds, especially as the ground thaws after the winter. A dead tree should be taken down at once.
Check for any loose shingles or other damage that might be worsened by high wind, and repair them before the wind can leave a hole in the roof.
Check on Home Insurance Policies
Home insurance can protect you against much of the rough weather that spring can bring, but only if the coverage is accurate and premiums are paid up. Spring is a great time to review the policy and make sure everything is set up as it should be.
It’s important to note, especially at this time of year, that flooding is not covered by a standard home insurance policy. Any home that is located in a flood risk zone should be protected by a special flood insurance policy – without it there will be no assistance with damage done by floodwaters.
Spring is also a good time to think about shopping around for home insurance quotes. It may be possible to get a better rate or even more coverage for less, keeping the home even better protected from nature’s unpredictable spring activities.

COVID-19 Immuno-Genetics: University of Edinburgh Study Confirms That Genes Could Be Key To New COVID-19 Treatments
: A new study by researchers from University of Edinburgh-UK shows that genes could be key to new COVID-19 treatments.
Potential treatments for COVID-19 have been identified after the discovery of five genes associated with the most severe form of the disease.
The study findings were published in the peer reviewed journal: Nature Communications. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-03065-y
According to the study team, genetic evidence is second only to clinical trials as a way to tell which treatments will be effective in a disease. Existing drugs that target the actions of the genes reveal which drugs should be repurposed to treat COVID-19 in clinical trials.
In the study, genes involved in two molecular processes ie antiviral immunity and lung inflammation were identified.
The breakthrough study findings will help physicians and researchers understand how COVID-19 damages lungs at a molecular level.
Scientist from the University of Edinburgh made the discovery by studying the DNA of 2,700 patients in 208 intensive care units (ICUs) in the UK.
The study team from the GenOMICC consortium ie a global collaboration to study genetics in critical illness compared the genetic information of COVID-19 patients in ICU with samples provided by healthy volunteers from other studies, such as UK Biobank, Generation Scotland and 100,000 Genomes.
The researchers found key differences in five genes of the ICU patients compared with samples provided by healthy volunteers.
Importantly the genes IFNAR2, TYK2, OAS1, DPP9 and CCR2 partially explain why some individuals become desperately sick with COVID-19, while others are not affected.
By identifying the genes, the study team was then able to predict the effect of drug treatments on patients, because some genetic variants respond in a similar way to particular drugs.
For instance, they showed that a reduction in the activity of the TYK2 gene protects against COVID-19. A class of anti-inflammatory drugs called JAK inhibitors, which includes the drug baricitinib, produces this effect.
The study team also discovered that a boost in the activity of the gene INFAR2 is also likely to create protection, because it is likely to mimic the effect of treatment with interferon ie proteins released by cells of the immune system to defend against viruses. However, experts caution that to be effective, patients might need the treatment early in disease.
From the study findings, the researchers say that clinical trials should focus on drugs that target these specific antiviral and anti-inflammatory pathways.
The project's chief investigator and Academic Consultant in Critical Care Medicine and Senior Research Fellow at University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute, Dr Kenneth Baillie told Thailand Medical News, "This is a stunning realization of the promise of human genetics to help understand critical illness. Just like in sepsis and influenz
a, in COVID-19, damage to the lungs is caused by our own immune system, rather than the virus itself. Our genetic results provide a roadmap through the complexity of immune signals, showing the route to key drug targets. Our results immediately highlight which drugs should be at the top of the list for clinical testing. We can only test a few drugs at a time, so making the right choices will save thousands of lives. This work is only possible because of the generous contribution of the patients themselves and their families, research teams in NHS hospitals across the country, and the generous funding we've received from the public and organizations."
The GenOMICC (Genetics of Susceptibility and Mortality in Critical Care) platform started in 2015 as an open, global consortium of intensive care clinicians dedicated to understanding genetic factors that influence outcomes in intensive care from diseases such as SARS, influenza and sepsis. Throughout 2020 it has been focused on COVID-19 research in partnership with Genomics England.
Thailand Medical News is working parallel with numerous genetic and genomic research entities and is instead working with herbs and phytochemicals to target human host genetic variants that affect the pathogenesis and COVID-19 disease progression to prevent and treat COVID-19 via epigenetic manipulations and changes. We are targeting more than 34 human host genetic variants and have also tested the teas against a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 strains and mutations in terms of antiviral properties as well.
To date, Thailand Medical News has developed a patented therapeutic herbal tea that utilizes the widest range of herbs and phytochemicals and also nano technology to deliver a product whose efficacy has been demonstrated in numerous observation trials covering almost 11,000 patients so far in countries like Columbia, Peru, Brazil, Iran, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Argentina, Spain, Japan, And also in certain states in United States. https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/new-therapeutic-teas-
We will be shortly going into randomized clinical trials and are at the moment distributing the teas to various countries to be used only by doctors in observational trials for the poor. The teas are also available to donors who help support our cause.
We are at the moment desperate
for various fundings ie:
-US$5,600 (Thai baht 162,000) to set up a parallel manual production line to scale up production as we only have one packing machine that is now having some issues and we need to purchase manual sealers and also proportion dispensers etc.
-US$62,000 to develop including research and production of a second line for Long COVID.
-US$240,000 for us to set up a proper lab and study facility in Northern Thailand for herbal research etc
All donors who donate a minimum of US$500 will receive the teas for themselves (ie 1 set for one person) https://www.thailandmedical.news/p/sponsorship
We do hope that some kind and generous donors will respond to our pleas for help.

Seventies - Awesome in Posters, Brands, Magazines $100
6 OTF Fonts | Designer: Maximiliano Sproviero | Design Date: Sep 1, 2015 | Turkish Support
Meeeeoooow! Seventies is another of my funkadelic attemps (1) to fill the existing gap of seventish looking fonts. In my opinion, that decade has a hidden treasure regarding type that remains unexplored: Only very few fonts rescue its groovy essence, its ‘colourful’ qualities.
But, don't have a cow man, and keep on truckin'! With Seventies, my new foxy mama, your projects will stand out among the rest.
Since there’s not much information available about this kind of lettering I had to get ideas from other styles: Nowadays it’s easy to find all kind of books or guides to understand and practice how different styles of calligraphy and lettering should be done. However, for some reason, 60s and 70s letters seemed to ignore/be free of rules... Was this suggesting the birth of postmodernism?
I incorporated some ideas of the copperplate style of calligraphy: The ductus of its forms may be compared to the way letters are made in snell/engrosser’s script. Obviously, this is just the idea behind; the delicacy of thins is replaced here with the graceful imprint of really thick thicks with a brushy look and tons of good vibe.
Seventies will work awesome in posters, brands, magazines, book-covers of any kind, due to its modern look adapted to our century.
Well, catch you on the flip~side!
STYLES: To make you more psyched, Seventies is a layered font! See examples in the posters using Seventies Shade, Seventies Shine and Seventies Printed.
Arthaus - Create Posters & Brands $100 NEW!
6 OTF Fonts | Designer: John Moore | Design Date: Sep 2, 2015 | Turkish Support
Arthaus is a typeface family inspired by Herbert Bayer letter study for an universal alphabet, this version is built on a rigorous geometrical basis as originally planned by this master of the Bauhaus in 1927. Arthaus comes in 4 weights and one outline version. Ideal for creating posters and brands is a treat for anyone who deals with graphic design.
Essonnes - 3 Optical Sizes $500 NEW!
16 OTF Fonts | Designer: James Todd | Design Date: Sep 2, 2015 | Turkish Support
Made up of sixteen individual weights and spread over three different optical sizes, Essonnes is designed to bring utility back to the Didot genre.
It’s a common belief among designers that Didones don’t work for text. This wasn’t true in 1819 and it isn’t true today. Like its forbearers, Essonnes is a truly optical family—not just a study in adjusting contrast. The text and display weights have been designed from the ground up for their intended roles. This means that everything from the height of the uppercase & lowercase letters have been specifically tuned for their intended purpose.
Like many typefaces, Essonnes started after falling in love with a piece of history. In this case, it was the eccentric forms of Pierre Didot’s Type and the evolution of the High contrast Didone throughout the 19th century. It was out of curiosity and love for these forms that led to the first draft of what would become Essonnes back in 2011.
These unique situations—screens, modern printing methods, the previous 200 years of typographic innovation since the original design, my own life experiences—have led to a typeface that, while based on history, is not stuck in it.
