Prime Minister Boris Johnson will announce Covid’s winter plans on Tuesday, explaining how the government will tackle the virus over the next few months.
He is expected to abolish some of the Coronavirus Act, but instead of focusing on vaccination instead, he resists the announcement of the winter blockade.
However, another blockade has not been completely eliminated.
Is there a winter blockade?
Senior government scientists said earlier Me The government has developed an emergency response plan for the October “firebreak” closure in case hospitalization continues at current levels and threatens to overload the NHS.
But Health Minister Sajid Javid said, “I don’t think that’s something we need to consider.”
Instead, the vaccine deployment can be extended to children up to the age of 12, and booster jabs for the most vulnerable people could start as early as this month.
A member of the government’s scientific advisory group (Sage) for emergencies said MeDavid Parsley of the United Kingdom is about to plunge into an “extended peak” of infectious diseases and hospitalization last week. This could cause the NHS to cross the threshold and the government to reintroduce the limit in the school half-year at the end of October. ..
“This is essentially a preventative break that Sage proposed last year,” said Sage scientists.
“It is wise to develop an emergency response plan and, if a blockade is required, time it to minimize the economic and social impact.”
The Ministry of Education has denied that the government plans to block the firebreak around the first half of October.
However, a government spokesperson said, “We have an emergency response plan as part of a responsible plan for various scenarios, but such measures are the last to prevent unsustainable pressure on the NHS. It will be reintroduced only as a means of. “
On Monday morning, Professor Niall Ferguson, who modeled what helped Britain enter the blockade in March 2020, was asked if further blockages could be eliminated altogether.
He said, “I hope so,” but added, “Nothing can be completely ruled out.”
Plan to extend vaccine deployment
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which regulates drug safety and efficacy, approves a third vaccination and uses Pfizer and Oxford / AstraZeneca jabs to immunize those who are already taking it. It was confirmed that the decrease in power can be promoted. 2 doses.
June Raine, CEO of MHRA, said in a statement that both major vaccines previously used in the UK deployment could also be deployed in boosters.
She states: “We know that immunity can decline over time after the first vaccination. The Covid-19 vaccine produced by Pfizer and AstraZeneca is a safe and effective booster. I’m glad to see that it can be used.
“This is an important regulatory change to give additional options to vaccination programs that have saved the lives of thousands of people so far. JCVI will administer booster jab or not, and if so, which vaccine. Will advise you if you should use. “
Earlier this week, Chief Health Officers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland decided to offer children under the age of 16 the opportunity to be vaccinated after the Joint Committee on Immunization and Immunization (JCVI) refused. Will be decided. The risk-benefit comparison was so finely balanced that a call for this issue.

I take back what I said about the Minette Walters' audiobook - it is not too graphic at all, but extremely complex in plot and character. She's an author whose books I can easily reread, as they are so complex, I have a hard time keeping track of the details and so rereading is never a problem.
Oh, I forgot to comment on the weather and my tea in my haste to correct the misrepresentation I offered about the audiobook. Well, it's extremely bright in here today, the sun is shining through my side window right in my eye (I think I'll have to move!). There, that's a bit better. I love this time of year, when the leaves are changing colour and there is a nip in the air, you can put away your summer clothes and switch over to a whole "new" wardrobe of cool-weather clothing, and it's completely OK to wear black, brown and gray on a regular basis. This time of year always makes me think of new beginnings, or starting a-fresh, which is strange since really nature is dying off and going into hibernation in the autumn. I guess I'll always associate this time of year with going back to school, and since this is the first time in four years that I'm not taking a course or two, it's a good time for me to start a new project or "get organized". I feel so energized by the cool weather, unlike the languor I experience in the humidity of the summer.
Oh boy, I think that's enough about the weather! You can probably tell I feel strongly about this! Anyway, I finished The Last Weekend by Blake Morrison last night and I must say I was rather disappointed. It started off interestingly enough, with a late-summer weekend get-together of two couples who have clearly complex relationships amongst themselves and with each other. The narrator seems a bit dodgy at first, but over the course of the weekend, his delusions spin out of control and he causes no end of grief for all those in attendance at the get-together. Throughout the time I spent reading this novel, I was trying to recall which novel it reminded me of, and it finally came to me as I was finishing it up last night - Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. The rivalries between the two main characters in Morrison's novel, Ian and Ollie, are very similar to those of the characters in McEwan's novel, both situations dealing with competition in school, careers and women, or more specifically, one woman. I found McEwan's novel to be more interesting and engaging, but I wonder now if I would have enjoyed Morrison's novel more if I hadn't always had that niggling feeling in the back of my thoughts that I'd "read this before". This is an example of one's "reading history", which I'd explored in past posts, and how each of our reading experiences is influenced by those books we've read before. We can never "un-read" a book, and even if we don't recall all the details, usually something of a book sticks with us (well, I've experienced some books that were so "bad" as to be totally unmemorable, but I don't often read books like that - I like my books to "mean" something to me). So would I have enjoyed it more if I'd never read McEwan's novel? I'll never know. Having said that, I enjoyed Morrison's writing style, so I will try reading And When Did You Last See Your Father?. I saw the film version of this memoir that presents the writer's conflicting memories of his father and his attempts to find resolution to their problematic relationship as he helps care for him in his childhood home during his father's final days. I don't often read memoirs, so I have no idea if I will enjoy it or not, but I won't know unless I give it a try.
I will be away on vacation next week, so I'm not sure when I will write my next post. Probably not until after my next book club meeting, which will be on October 15th. We will be discussing Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, and I'm so curious about the response my book club members will have to the novel. Some members expressed their reluctance to read this, so the discussion should be interesting. I haven't read it for a number of years, so I hope I'll find it as interesting and well-written as I remember.
That's all for today.
Bye for now!

Laura Bishop just nabbed her first decorating commission—staging for sale a 19th-century mansion that hasn’t been updated for decades. But when a body falls from a laundry chute and lands at Laura’s feet, replacing flowered wallpaper becomes the least of her duties.
To clear her young assistant of the murder and save her fledgling business, Laura’s determined to find the killer. Turns out it’s not as easy as renovating a manor home, especially with two handsome men complicating her mission: the police detective assigned to the case and the real estate agent trying to save the manse from foreclosure.
Worse still, the meddling of a horoscope-guided friend, a determined grandmother, and the local funeral director could get them all killed before Laura props the first pillow.
Grace Topping starts this book/series out with a big thump. While curbing the clutter in the huge 19th-century mansion, her protagonist Laura Bishop heads to the cellar with a box only to have her client’s body fall from the laundry chute right at her feet. Victoria Denton was difficult but who would have done such a thing?
The police decide Laura’s assistant, Tyrone is their prime suspect. He accidentally broke a vase sending Ms. Denton into a tizzy. She also is on the committee holding Tyrone’s fate in her hands as he waits to hear if he will be awarded a college scholarship. The woman threatened to basically blackball him everywhere and police assume he retaliated. Laura defends the young man but when his grandmother begs for her help she knows she has to do more. Detective Alex Spangler thinks he has his man so Laura grabs her friend Nita Marino and tries to use all the knowledge she has gleaned from reading cozy mysteries to start investigating.
There are such strong characters in this debut. Laura Bishop has left her IT career behind and opened her own business staging homes to help home sellers get the best price and the quickest sale of their homes. She is also new to investigating and admits it which was a big plus for me. She is a very kind person and for the most part, makes really good decisions. Her best friend Nita is the Watson to Laura’s Holmes and they make a good team. The character I liked best was Tyrone. He’s a college student studying design and clearly has talent. He is a hard worker. He has 3 jobs earning money both for school and to help his grandmother. He has such a positive attitude even when things are going wrong. Even behind bars, he was a breath of fresh air. I also loved meeting Inky, Laura’s rescue kitty.
The story flowed well for me. There are several suspects and some great twists. Tossing the victim down the laundry chute was a bit eerie. I love big old homes that have them. My aunt had one in her newer home but the opening was nowhere near large enough to stuff a body through. I enjoyed following along with Laura and her investigation while she continued to work on the mansion to get it ready for an open house. The mansion needed a lot of help and I was surprised by all Laura did with the help of so few people. The author found a nice balance between solving the mystery and everyday life. Humor was also incorporated in a very thoughtful way.
Each chapter starts with a staging tip and the staging theme was super interesting to me. Not that I’ll ever need to stage a home, but several tips made sense to brighten up the home I have.
This series is off to a great start. The characters have plenty of room to grow. The theme provides endless possibilities. I am really looking forward to book #2.

Paul Volcker died last week. It’s likely that few readers know who he was, or what he did. He was one of the most important persons in finance in the last 50 years.
Volcker was Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Carter and Reagan, until Reagan fired him in 1986. He is widely credited with having ended the high levels of inflation in the US during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Earlier, he was an important part of Nixon’s team that took the US off the gold standard in 1971.
In that time of red-hot inflation, Volcker’s goal was to stop the growth of prices, while keeping the dollar strong globally. Back then, Americans saw inflation as our most pressing economic problem. Volcker’s goal was to reduce wages as a way to reduce price inflation. As an example, during his time as Fed Chair, Volcker carried a card listing the wages of unions in his pocket to remind himself that his early goal was to crush the unions.
When Reagan and his people complained that interest rates were too high, Volcker would pull out his card on union wages and say that inflation would not come down permanently until labor “got the message and surrendered.” Volcker said that the prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s was a:
“hall of mirrors”, and that the…”standard of living of the average American must decline.”
Volcker’s jacking up of interest rates eventually purged inflation from the system. Along the way, it hurt small businesses, farms, banks, and home owners who needed a mortgage. Mortgage rates reached a peak of 18.63% in October 1981.
While Wrongo briefly worked for Volcker at the big bank in the early 1970’s, we had no relationship. Wrongo reported to a guy, who reported to a guy, who reported to Volcker. Despite that (minimal) connection, Wrongo knows that Volcker’s stint at the Fed helped to shatter the American middle class. It might not have been his intent, but it was what he did. On to cartoons.

The Wall Street Journal has a bitingly satirical piece on the media reaction to the Cheney hunting accident. The idea that Cheney himself wouldn’t personally call Dana Milbank while Mr. Wittington lay bleeding on the field apparently sends the press into fits of apoplexy.
What happened in Texas was an accident. Cheney is an avid hunter, and the law of averages states that sooner or later an accident will occur even with the most safety-conscious hunter. Jeff Greenfield of CNN astutely finds this incident to be a political Rorschach test:
Look, I have never hunted in my life (assuming you don’t count hunting for a parking place in Manhattan). I have no more knowledge of the rules that govern a quail hunt than I do about the topography of Neptune. But the same massive level of ignorance doesn’t seem to be stopping a whole lot of people from explaining why the vice president was innocent, careless, criminally negligent, or homicidal. Similarly, it seems all but impossible to separate your judgment of the White House’s response — perfectly appropriate, sloppy, or an inexcusable attempt at cover-up — from your broader view of the president.
The media’s petulant response to the incident reflects the arrogance of the media today. Their biggest concern is that Dick Cheney didn’t notify them right away, and the first media outlet to be notified was a local paper rather than Dana Milbank. Could the Cheney camp have handled the situation better? Certainly the very last thing that they should have been considering was coordinating the media response, instead they should have been doing what they did, getting help to Wittington and working with local officials to properly investigate the accident and file the necessary reports.
For all the talk of the “political consequences” of this terrible event, the fallout will likely fall more on the media’s overreaction rather than Cheney’s momentary lapse in gun safety. The way in which the media has reacted with predictable hysteria explains why the last JFK Center survey shows the media as the most distrusted actor in American society today. With all the important and momentous events in the world, the media’s fixation on Vice President Cheney’s hunting accident indicates how far out of whack their priorities are.

Whilst visiting the site last Monday I spoke to a few people from both centenary works and nursery works to try and define if there was a clear sense of community or any relationships across sights. Disturbingly there wasn’t anything other than polite hello’s, to an extent I expected this but not to the point in which people have no relation between neighbouring units. A careers manager visiting a few students at nursery works put a good point forward during our conversation by pointing out the fact that there’s no café or communal area on the sight “there isn’t even a burger van” she noted. I believe that without place for social or communal interaction there isn’t likely to be any on this site as work takes precedence and when that’s done there’s nothing and for the people visiting the site for the dance studio etc. they stick to their own units.
Talking to an employee at the climbing works I found out that they have nothing to do with anyone at the centenary work, even at these works where a courtyard forces people to look on one another there is nothing. This critical lack of agency between the businesses in the Norton hammer area makes them all vulnerable if development comes along, not to mention the missed opportunities they could have by working together or even just getting to know one another more.
I believe by developing communal spaces between the sites such as a café or community hub, then the agency will come in time. A space which shows what the site has to offer via its people and businesses but also accommodates for change and acts as a melting pot of ideas and a place to meet. The map shown below shows the river (an ever recurring theme in my work) and the overgrown green spaces that dot its length on site, these areas would be perfect for a small café or community area, something small and compact but vital. My previous idea of the river walkways could easily play into this and connect these spaces with the works.

This project will remove sevenbarriers and restore riverside and in-stream habitat along the Coonamessett River. This restoration work enhances biodiversity, increases climate resiliency, and mitigates flooding through floodplain reconnection. Species that will benefit from restoration include river herring, blueback herring, American eel, and eastern brook trout. This project builds on previous downstream work restoring a former cranberry bog habitat that involved removing barriers to fish passage, improving the river channel habitat, and improving the surrounding wetland habitat. This river is part of the local public water supply, therefore the project benefits the neighboring community.

The women’s rugby team faced tough competition this weekend as they hosted the second-best in the country Guelph Gryphons, at home on Nixon Field. The highly contested match resulted in a 5-50 loss for the Gaels.
This game comes after the Gaels faced the first ranked team in the CIS, the McMaster Marauders, last weekend on the road. The Gaels-Marauders matchup resulted in a loss for the Gaels as well, with a 32-0 end score in McMaster’s favour.
The Gryphons started the match off on a strong foot with a try and conversion on the scoreboard within the first five minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the match.
Continuing to dominate the game throughout the first half, Guelph increased their lead to 19-0, putting the Gaels in a tough spot.
After some strong passing by the Gaels, Queen’s would try to shift the momentum back in their favour, with their sole try of the match. Lauren Murray received the ball in the far right corner of the field, stiff-arming a Gryphons defender and beating out another to put the ball over the line. Unfortunately the try wasn’t converted, putting the Gaels down 19-5 at halftime.
Although Queen’s kept pressing to get back into the game, the Gryphons defense was too much. Guelph was able to control the ball for most of the half, adding on an extra 31 points in the second half alone, leaving the final score at 50-5.
While the Gaels’ past two matches – against the Gryphons and Marauders – resulted in losses, by a combined score of 82-5, captain Erin Geddes thinks that the importance of the matches transcends the game’s end results on the scoreboard.
For Geddes, it was clear that the team has improved since their loss to McMaster.
“Moving forward, we have to keep in mind we just played the top two teams in the country back to back,” Geddes said.
“The score may not have gone our way, but we’ve played some strong opponents which challenged us to step up our game and helped us grow as a team.”
“Our team is in a good place, and despite the loss, we just need to put in some serious hard work this week and demand more from each other and ourselves,” she added.
Looking forward to the Gaels’ final match of the regular OUA season, Geddes feels confident in the team’s ability.
“It’s only up from here and I hope York is ready for us.”
The Gaels will welcome the 3-1 York Lions to Nixon Field on Friday, Oct. 7 at 5 p.m. This will be the Gaels’ final regular season match before the OUA playoffs, which begin on October 15.

With the ever-increasing need for complex battery packs, their welding methods have evolved in order to provide the most efficient joining methods for cells’ terminals.
The most crucial aspect to consider when welding a battery pack is the contact resistance between the cell and the connection tab or a buss bar. This variable needs to be minimized to prevent unnecessary energy loss in the form of heat generation.
Additionally, the quality of weld, conductivity, production costs and load bearing of the joint is what a perfect welding technique choice solves.
In this article, we will discuss multiple welding methods from resistance welding to laser welding technologies and see when one is better suited over another.
Welding Tabs and Buss Bars To Terminals
To join cells into a battery pack, the cell terminals are welded together in serial or parallel to achieve either a higher voltage, higher capacity, or both. But welding terminal welds is challenging because minimizing heat input is necessary to prevent cell or terminal damage.
The vital variables are the tab thickness and terminal and tab materials from a welding perspective. It is more straightforward to weld tabs and terminals to buss bars because this doesn’t require as much penetration or heat input control compared to tab-to-terminal welds.
So, let’s see which welding method works best for what application.
Resistance Spot Welding
Resistance welding nickel tab material works great up to 0.015-inch thickness, and nickel or steel clad copper tabs up to 0.012-inch thickness to many terminal materials.
Resistance spot welding is an extremely efficient and cost-effective method for joining tabs on a wide range of battery types and sizes, including Li-ion 18650 cells.
The resistance spot welder can use DC inverter closed-loop and capacitor discharge power supplies, but it can also be battery powered. Thanks to its closed-loop feedback control, polarity switching, fast rise times, and options for force sensing and displacement, the resistance welding process allow fine-tuning welds and high-quality results.
The resistance welding typically uses a dual pulse. The first pulse cleans the surface from oxides and contaminants, and the second pulse welds the two metal pieces together. Metals exhibit resistance to electrical current flow, resulting in increased heat in the material. In this case, in the spots where the spot welder made contact with the electrodes. After the metal has melted, the two pieces fuse together and create a “nugget” weld.
For nickel tab material with a lower thickness than 0.007-inch, there is no need for modifications. However, beyond this thickness, it is necessary to stamp the slot and projections in the material to prevent electrode wear and electrical shunting. The projections act as the point where energy concentrates in the weld and reduce the wear of spot welder electrodes.
Micro-TIG welding is based on a tungsten inert gas welding process but at short intervals thanks to the pulsed arc welding. The TIG pulse is commonly used to reduce heat input in typical gas tungsten arc welding applications for welding thin sheet metal.
Similarly, we use short TIG pulses with low amperage to weld tabs and buss bars to cell terminals. It’s a very clean method that efficiently welds dissimilar material combinations. Its best used for aluminum, copper, nickel, and steel. It’s especially important to use TIG pulse when welding copper to avoid porosity in the weld.
The micro-TIG is used for butt, fillet, and lap welds very effectively, and it can go beyond the 0.02″ thick copper without problems. But, it’s interesting to note that there are no reports of micro-TIG welding in the manufacturing of electric vehicles battery packs. Perhaps because the TIG welding process requires the shielding gas, increasing the cost and complexity of the job.
Laser Beam Welding
Laser beam welding (“LBW”) is a welding process that uses a concentrated laser beam as a heat source to fuse materials together. There are a few components of a laser welding machine.
But, the three most important are a lasing medium, a lasing cavity, and a pumping source.
The cavity design determines the form of the outgoing beam, and the reflecting lenses focus the laser.
It is possible to modify the laser shape and focus to achieve different welding results with a laser welding machine. For example, you can create a narrow, wide, or tiny spot size.
This high degree of laser output allows variability for welding thick or thin buss bars and tabs to cell terminals. It works great with thin or thick tabs, and materials like copper, aluminum, nickel, and steel.
A general rule of thumb is that you should weld a thinner tab than the terminal because otherwise, you can penetrate the cell casing.
Perhaps the best advantage of laser beam welding in battery packs is that there is no limitation on the proximity of the welds. Therefore, it is possible to laser weld any pattern of spot welds on the tab, allowing you to achieve the strength requirements.
Usually, the peel strength is a metric for the weld quality of welded cells. The peel strength, by definition, is the average force required to part two bonded materials. If a project demands specific peel strength of welded tabs to cell terminals, the laser beam welding process is one of the best ways to precisely achieve it.
However, the vibration strength is also vital, especially for a battery pack exposed to it. The dynamic loads “attack” the weld in every direction, so it is a good idea to make a circular shape laser spot weld pattern on the battery terminals.
While laser welding offers the best tab welding results, resistance welding is still very common with brands that manufacture batteries. However, laser welding allows much finer welding in the battery industry and has significant advantages in achieving materials joining requirements.
This was an overview of applying the right technology for welding batteries, buss bar welding, and tab welding to the battery terminals. The most cost-effective method if you plan to do battery welding yourself is probably the spot welding mechanism. Still, you must be careful because battery cans can vent or explode if overheated.
It is especially tricky to weld thick tab materials if you haven’t done something like this before, so make sure you research the safety of battery terminal welding before attempting this yourself.

It seems unlikely that Spain, Greece, Italy and France will be on the “green list” for UK travel in the upcoming update, although the Minister of Justice said the government is “very interested in seeing as many countries as possible”. the list.
“This means more vacation opportunities and easier transportation that make vacations a very enjoyable experience, so we will continue, as we see in the guide, to add countries,” said Robert Buckland. Sky News.
Meanwhile, the Scottish government took a different approach: All four health officials in the UK said that the green list should be the exception rather than the rule, and that only countries would be added to the green list. Only explain when there are very good reasons to do so. .
The green list of countries from which travelers do not face any quarantine upon return to the UK is currently limited to only 12 destinations.
Boris Johnson said that “several” countries could participate in the first overhaul of the traffic light system scheduled for the first week of June, according to reports. The Telegraph.
He allegedly made the remarks at a Conservative Party committee meeting in 1922, indicating that the “impending mistakes” marked roughly in green were likely to stop this time.
Competitors are Malta, Finland, Grenada, Cayman Islands, Fiji, British Virgin Islands, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Turks, Caicos and Anguilla.
But most tourist areas in Europe – Croatia, Spain, Italy, France and Greece – are unlikely to switch from orange to green in the next cabinet reshuffle.
The Ministry of Transport has yet to follow the “isolationist approach” that characterizes, for example, the Canary Islands and Spain, although infection rates were much lower in the past.
Buckland said he believed a “significant portion” of the public could be trusted to isolate themselves after a state visit to the Orange List.
He told ITV Hello, Great Britain: “I think a lot of people can count on them to do the right thing when they come back and isolate themselves.”
But he added, “I think we should repeat these messages: Green is easy, have fun. Amber is not.”
International leisure travel became legal again on 17 May in Great Britain with the road marking system.
Countries are classified as green, orange or red based on their levels of risk and different severity restrictions placed accordingly.
While it is no longer illegal to travel abroad on vacation, the government has stressed that the destinations listed in green should only be visited for entertainment purposes.
During the PMQ sessions on May 19, Boris Johnson said: “It is very clear that you should only go to the ‘orange list’ country in some extreme circumstances, such as the serious illness of a family member.
On the other hand, Transportation Secretary Grant Shaps described the Red List countries as “those that should only be visited in extreme circumstances.”
This has caused some confusion among travelers to the UK, with many wondering why the countries are not divided into just red or green.

Lisle 31530 Replacement Blade for Exhaust Cut-Off Tool
The big problem here is what I have seen with other Lisle tools: the marketing folks don't understand what they are selling and hence screw up the packaging. In this case, there were absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS, and if the buyer does not have any previous knowledge of pipe or tubing cutters, they may get very messed up and disappointed.
So here are some instructions! Unscrew the handle so that the tool can placed on the pipe to be cut. Make sure the tools is positioned such that it can rotated AT LEAST 1/4 turn around the pipe. Tighten the handle so that the cutters contact the pipe and just slightly more. The tool should feel snug, but rotate easily. Apply a few drops of cutting oil (penetrating oil can be used). Rotate the tool around the pipe and then pull it back to the original position. You will notice a very thin line in the metal under the cutters. Tighten the handle approximately 1/8 turn to maintain the original snug fit, then rotate back and forth again. Repeat this process of tightening and rotating until you cut through the pipe. Expect something like 5-10 iterations. You will probably find there is a small section that didn't cut all the way through at the end, but either wiggling the pipe or a few strokes with a hacksaw will break it all the way off.


Understanding the impact of weather change and its timing in any trading opportunity is very crucial. Traders are required to have an immediate idea of the weather change that might have an impact on the price of their commodity. Companies and individuals depend on weather forecasting as they must predict the market of the commodities they sell. Short-term forecast is more accurate compared to long term forecasting. There is no doubt that the use of meteorologists in energy trading has increased in the last few years. Currently, energy systems have changed at a high rate. Many countries in Europe have shifted to the use of renewable energy to run their economies.

Renewable energy is much safer since it emits low amounts of carbon. However, the use of renewable energy depends on the weather; therefore, there is a need to understand the impact of weather on the resulting system. When meteorologists are predicting the weather they make sure that the prediction is directly linked to the market trends. In some cases, meteorologists are training companies on finance and trading so that they can comprehend the language and also do the trading work. Meteorologists have analysed the market and the weather conditions in order to come up with gas and power balance. Using the analysis, they are able to provide traders with the appropriate recommendations on the best business strategies. Majority of the weather trading companies provides accurate data to companies dealing with the production of energy. Meteorologists companies are required to provide information as early as possible because traders depend on speed so that they are able to interpret the information that enables them to formulate a trading strategy.
In Europe, the weather is involved in the demand and supply of electricity. The demand for electricity rises in the winter since electricity provides energy for heating residential and commercial buildings. Similarly, during summer the demand for electricity also increases since heat provides the energy for cooling purposes. Weather forecasting can be difficult sometimes because the weather systems that impact rain and cloud cover are minimum scaled in nature. In Europe, weather patterns play a very important role in the generation of solar electricity, hydroelectricity and wind generated power.
In the coming years, there is no doubt that weather forecasting is important in predicting weather conditions in European energy markets, specifically in the supply of electricity and energy prices. In future meteorology companies will be involved in identifying regions that are suitable for exploiting wind resources. These regions must ensure that there is a long term production of wind energy. The fact that energy trading has become a global market over a short duration of time is due to the ability to predict weather in different regions. Wind energy is not easy to predict, therefore, big meteorological companies will be required to provide analysis of the area since they have computing power to come up with a suitable site to exploit wind resources.
In conclusion, when it comes to improving the accuracy of any data it is important for all meteorologists in the world to share information since an issue affecting a certain area might have originated from regions located far away. The entire process requires supercomputers that are able to process data accurately. There is no doubt that weather forecasting plays an important role in the market trends.

Over 1,500 exhibitors from around the world are coming to LogiMAT 2024 to present their full portfolios of cutting-edge solutions delivering efficiency and flexibility in intralogistics, including many never before exhibited anywhere else. The extra bonus of a comprehensive accompanying program underscores once more LogiMAT’s reputation as a trade show with added value and a leading presentation, information, and communication platform in the intralogistics industry.
Intralogistics industry professionals from around the world will gather March 19–21 at the Messe Stuttgart convention center for LogiMAT 2024 under this year’s theme of “SHAPING CHANGE TOGETHER – Sustainability – AI – Ergonomics.” Over 1,500 exhibitors from 40 countries will once again fill 125,000 square meters of exhibit space in all ten exhibit halls, including the East and West Entrance areas, presenting the latest products, solutions, and software systems for efficient intralogistics to an audience of industry professionals from around the world. Some 150 companies are exhibiting at LogiMAT for the first time. A full 35 percent of this year’s exhibitors are from outside Germany, and 86 are coming from overseas, including 48 from China, 5 from Taiwan, and 23 from North America. The exhibitor traveling the farthest is Genie Grips, an Australian manufacturer of forklift attachments and safety systems.
Munich-based event organizer EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH chose the theme of “Sustainability – AI – Ergonomics” to reflect both current intralogistics industry trends and the spectrum of solutions on display. “Most of the world’s leading developers, manufacturers, and solution providers coming to LogiMAT are exhibiting products with a focus on at least one of the three main themes,” explains Exhibition Director Michael Ruchty. “The spectrum ranges from the automation and digital transformation of business processes in the face of skilled labor shortages, to options for conserving energy or ensuring the efficient use of resources, to AI-based tools for the fast, smart analysis of captured data. Other themes include IT network security and supply chain resilience.” Various exhibitors across every industry segment have also already announced plans to debut products and innovations never before exhibited anywhere in the world.
Innovations in efficient material handling
The event management team has arranged for a clear organization of exhibitors by industry segment in the ten exhibit halls to minimize walking distances and help visitors quickly find what they’re looking for. The systems integrators and industrial machinery and equipment manufacturers, traditionally the largest group of exhibitors, will present their latest products and solutions for moving goods efficiently in Halls 1, 3, 5 (including the gallery), and 7.

Also on display: innovative shuttle solutions and end-to-end solutions for automatic small parts storage designed to further enhance efficiency and digital transformation in intralogistics. Other new products that have already been announced include an automatic dispenser that functions as a storage system for consumables, new cobot grippers, and a new type of oxygen-reduction fire prevention and protection system powered by fuel cell technology. In Halls 7 and 9 on the north wing of the convention center, manufacturers and suppliers of cranes and handling systems, fire protection and safety systems, and gates and loading technology will also present their latest innovations.
All leading industrial truck manufacturers represented
Exhibitors in the group specializing in industrial truck technology, attachments, and energy management will be presenting the latest solutions for intralogistics transport in Hall 9 and in Hall 10 just opposite on the south wing of the convention center, including live demonstrations in the adjacent outdoor area. All the world’s leading manufacturers in this segment will once again be represented this year in Stuttgart. The most notable product debuts anticipated include tugger trains, low-lift pallet trucks, walkie stackers, articulated forklifts, next-generation assistance systems, and sensors for automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Hydrogen and fuel cells are taking on a greater role alongside lithium-ion batteries as energy storage systems in the design of new industrial trucks to improve battery and energy management in electric powertrain technology. This trend will be reflected in the exhibited products. New multifunctional forklift attachments offer enhanced flexibility and cost-efficiency.
Overview of software solutions
Software developers in Hall 8 will focus on innovative solutions for future-proof warehouse, transport, and supply chain management with integrated end-to-end data transfer. Apps, IT platforms, and cloud solutions with new features and AI algorithms for efficient process control, simulations, and smart data filtering and analytics deliver new options for optimizing and accelerating warehouse performance and implementation times. In response to the current demand for process optimization and facility management, exhibitors will showcase software solutions capable of running simulations and virtual launches and generating digital twins of production and logistics processes. Also on display: new AI tools that enhance warehouse management systems to predict order volume and material flow bottlenecks.

I love it
I love it
I like it but don't exactly love it.
Love the song itself. Especially the "Be bop Ba do Bop" part.
But the whole "you go girl!/boy! You're the best! We're so strong!" vibe is a little too precious for RED VELVET.
Even in their fun and goofy songs they've never been that sweet. So it's comes across a little too earnest for them.
The lyrics kinda turned me off.
This is something teens or rappers say lol. A little too corny.
Their brand of corny was never that on the nose. It always has a more quirky or harder undercurrent.
Even things like them having fruit songs like Red Flavor (which is sort of a goofy element). It's always like they're in on the joke. Winking at you.
Here they are just too straightforward.
Blop. I feel the chorus is too flat.
I feel like it's not one of their best, but I'm happy that they're back.
My initial reaction is blop. It's not bad, just not terribly exciting.
But it might grow on me. There have been a quite a few releases this year that my initial reaction was "meh" and I ended up liking them quite a bit more.
A bop! They are very hit and miss for me title track-wise and I wasn't sure how I was gonna like this, but it's so good! It's different than I expected and very catchy!
The chorus is so catchy. The whole song is so bright and cheerful. Great lyrics btw as well !!!
Eyyyy this is a bop
At a first listen I find ik alright, I like it, but don't love it, it's not a Psycho: I'm missing some twist, something unexpected or extra special. It's nice, but too predictable maybe - at least for RV.
The MV was superb, I really loved that one
Maybe my impression will change after a few more listens (or maybe not), we'll see.
All in all, it's great to see RV have a comeback again, the upcoming weeks will be a blast
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I really like the rap talking parts. They sounded and looked great as usual and the MV is cute.
It’s a bop from me - I really love the chorus.
Im very happy that you Revuluvs Have Gotten a RedVelvet comeback!
i am not a Revuluv
but i have to say bop!
it was very refreshing to listen to and watch!
you have very talented girls!
Blop for now for me. I was a little bit disappointed, but I hope it'll grow on me.
MV is amazing though, but I don't like the song too much...
I dont like the verses, rap doesnt really fit in this song imo. Chorus is fantastic.
This doesn't feel like a Red Velvet song, it's missing that special brand of bright and quirky that they're known for. This could've been released by your average Kpop girl group.
The chorus is a mixed bag: On one part it's lacks energy but on the other, the " Doo-Bee-Dop" section is catchy.
The verses are forgettable.
Overall, it's an unremarkable song that lacks Red Velvet's distinctive style, I wouldn't seek it out on my own accord but I'll give it a listen if it comes up on Shuffle.

This is day 5 of the month of tater and I’m struggling with the writing every day thing. I started writing a post about how it seems the more I write the less people read, but I couldn’t find enough to say about that. I thought about a weekly wrap up but realized I’m too boring to have enough to say about my week. The TV helped me out by going to an interview with Kelly Clarkson about her career. I decided to go the lazy route and do one of those “put your music on shuffle” posts. I’m very ashamed of myself.
- Insane in the Membrane – Cypress Hill: It’s possible my son was the one that downloaded this one back when he was younger and used the same iTunes account. It’s one of the few that I kept.
- Let Me Inside – Stephen Lynch: One of my favorite comedians. He is a singing comedian and his songs are very inappropriate. I never go to comedy shows(though I would if someone would go with me) but I went to his when he was in Baltimore.
- Someone Like You – Adele: I like Adele, but I will admit that I generally skip this one when it comes up. I’m not sure why.
- Tick Tick Boom – Patent Pending: One of my favorite bands and one that most people I know have never heard of. I first saw them when they opened for Bowling For Soup in Baltimore. They were supposed to play a venue that was closed down the week before. BFS promised to play Baltimore even if it was a free concert in a park. They ended up pkaying a scaled down show at a rooftop bar. Only 100 or so people showed up and it rained, but my son got to meet the band at his first concert. Patent Pending opened the show and I loved them. I wish they would come back to the area.
- Intergalactic – Beastie Boys: I love the Beastie Boys. I was very sad when MCA died.
- December, 1963(Oh, What a Night) – The Four Seasons: I’m not really sure why I chose this song. I like it, but I assume I have it because it was free or something.
- Cheer Up(It’s Christmas) – People on Vacation: People on Vacation is Jaret Reddick from Bowlng for Soup and Ryan Hamilton from Smile Smile Band and now Ryan Hamilton and the Traitors. They were very good friends who did People on Vacaion albums when not recording with their other bands. I love the music they created and really like this Christmas song. Sadly, they had a falling out and are no longer friends.
- Summer Fling – Linus of Hollywood: From the Crappy Records Presents: Have a Crappy Summer compilation. It is a very good summer song. Another BFS connection. Linus and Jaret are friends and also recorded an album together as Jarinus. My name is on the album liner. They also once did a video while holding my picture thanking me for my support. If I can track it down I will insert it here.EDIT – Here is the video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4dHkm3Jf34
- Dream On – Aerosmith: One of the best rock bands of all time.
- Malibu Classic – Eric Chandler: Also from the Crappy Records album. Erik is in Bowling for Soup, but also does some very good solo work.
Funny how much of an influence BFS has on my music, but not one BFS song came up on shuffle this morning. I might go back and add in links to the songs later, but right now I need to go hurry my family up so we aren’t late for church.

For example, there's Bonnie and Clyde, Reds, and McCabe & Mrs. Miller. But for all the great movies he's worked on, Beatty has turned down a shocking number of classics. According to the actor, he passed on The Godfather and wasn't interested in playing 1978's Superman. When Paul Thomas Anderson asked him to star in Boogie Nights, Beatty said no. After all, he had kids and didn't want to play in a movie about porn.
And as you might've guessed, Beatty also said no to Quentin Tarantino.
So what role did Tarantino offer Beatty? Well, the director wanted him to play the titular antagonist in Kill Bill. In fact, he'd written the part with Beatty in mind. Only instead of creating the character as a kung fu killer, he'd written a villain who was a bit more suave and sophisticated. According to Tarantino, Bill was originally "much more of a James Bond type of character—Bond as Blofeld, basically."
Tragically for Tarantino, Beatty wasn't interested in shooting scenes in China, preferring to stay in the United States with his kids. However, Beatty does take credit for the casting of David Carradine, claiming he suggested Tarantino pick the martial arts actor. If so, it was a genius recommendation, and Tarantino rewrote the script so the character would be a better fit. True, it would've been cool to see Beatty's take on Bill, but really, it's difficult picturing anyone delivering that Superman monologue better than Carradine.

Kapiti and Wellington's worst weeds
Archived content: This media release was accurate on the date of publication.
IntroductionWanted! Kāpiti Coast’s and Wellington’s Worst Weeds
Date: 18 March 2013
Members of the public are invited to rummage in their own back yard for the worst weed they can find - and swap it for a free native plant.
The Department of Conservation, Kāpiti Coast District Council and Greater Wellington Regional Council are joining up to offer the Sustainable Home and Garden Show visitors the traditionally popular Weed Swap from 9am to 4pm on Saturday the 23rd of March and 10am to 4pm on Sunday the 24th of March.
Weeds are a huge threat to our native ecosystems, so organisers are urging people to bring their ‘worst weed’, have it identified by weed specialists and choose a free native plant in exchange.
Prizes will be given for the worst weeds! Common weeds brought into previous weed swaps include Wandering Willie (Tradescantia fluminensis), Woolly Nightshade (Solanum mauritianum), Pellitory of the Wall (Parietaria judaica), and Old Man’s Beard (Clematis vitalba). Some of the nastiest weeds include Climbing Asparagus (Asparagus scandens) and Cathedral Bells (Cobaea scandens), which both grow very quickly and smother other species. These weeds and others are invading and threatening our native ecosystems and there are now more exotic plant species wild in New Zealand than there are natives, with at least 20 new species recorded wild each year.
“Weed Swaps provide opportunity for people to directly contribute to helping enhance local ecosystems”, said Clayson Howell, DOC weed ecologist.
“Not only do these events increase knowledge about identifying, controlling and disposing of weeds responsibly, they also provide useful data to help us keep track of weeds in the region.”
Learning how to identify the worst weeds in our own backyards, and replacing them with native or non-invasive alternatives can help our local birds, lizards and invertebrates thrive.
“Kāpiti has its fair share of invasive weeds,” said Kāpiti Coast District Council biodiversity advisor Rob Cross.
“This is a fun way to highlight the problem and offer solutions.”
“Our council battles the same weeds for the same reasons as DOC and Greater Wellington Regional Council. The Home and Garden Show is a chance for the three agencies to unite in getting the community involved,” said Cross.

Welcome to a safe space where you can think out loud
What is Psychotherapy ?
Psychotherapy helps people live a healthier, happier and more productive life by identifying, challenging and changing possible maladaptive thoughts and behavioural patterns. This process allows individuals to express themselves freely within a confidential, supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Through the use of integrative psychotherapy, I tailor different therapeutic techniques depending on the individuals' needs and goals.
My approach is based on the importance of forming a stable and trusting therapeutic relationship, as it is a powerful and essential factor in your healing process.

Urban sprawl is gobbling up Kathmandu's farms at an unprecedented rate, and may wipe them out within a couple of decades.
From 1976-2009, the proportion of cultivated land in Kathmandu dropped from 61 per cent to 40 per cent. Experts say the average farm size has shrunk considerably too.
Farmers have found it more profitable to sell their farms, usually to people seeking to build houses, than work on them, as rapid urbanisation has caused land prices to surge ahead of agricultural yield. The rising cost of living has hastened the process.
Forty-year-old Sanu Khadka works all day on a two-ropani plot in Pasikot on the outskirts of Kathmandu but barely manages to feed her family of three. Her husband chips in by working odd-jobs in the city.
"My family has lived here for three generations and our farm used to be a lot bigger. But we've had to sell everything as living expenses have risen. With land prices so high, how can a poor family afford not to?" Khadka says.
Such decisions, multiplied many times over, have deformed the cityscape. While farms on the outskirts are more or less contiguous, those closer to the centre of the city alternate with residences to form an unseemly patchwork pattern.
Things weren't always this way. During the Malla era, the fertile areas around river banks were reserved for farms. Waste from settlements, which were higher up, would flow down to the farms, fertilise them, and then run off into the river. Bharat Upadhyay of the Center for Environmental and Agricultural Policy Research, Extension and Development (CEAPRED) explains: "Back then, there were clear directives on what land could be used for which purpose. The prime reason for the current urban sprawl, and the damage it has caused to urban agriculture, is the fact that there is no operative land use act."
The loss of urban farms has had several negative social consequences. Food production per capita in Kathmandu has dropped precipitously and now accounts for only a third of the city's food supply. That figure is projected to drop as more migrants flood into the city. Kathmandu was once totally food self-sufficient.
It's also bad for the environment, since the lost farms could have put the city's solid waste to productive use and would have been less detrimental to the underground water supply than the houses that have replaced them.
It also means there are fewer jobs for city farmers. Shyam Lama and his wife arrived in Kathmandu from Rasuwa 13 years ago and keep a small farm on a vacant plot left under their care by the owners. Yet Lama spends most of his time looking for odd-jobs in the city since the farm requires only one person's labour. "I do this and that. I don't really have a stable job. If our plot were bigger, say around six ropanis, then I could spend all my time working on it. But that makes no sense now."
But all is not lost. Although much of the city's farmland is unrecoverable, farmers can still make a lot of money by growing high-value or perishable crops, like tomatoes and mushrooms. Many inner-city farmers have already made the switch from cereals and are doing fairly well.
"The government should support farmers to grow cash crops. There is a good market for such goods and Kathmandu's soil is well-suited to them," says Mahesh Prasad Pudasani of CEAPRED. In particular, the government should invest in better storage facilities. About a third of vegetables in urban market places go to waste from spoilage. Experts say Kathmandu's farms can produce up to 70 per cent of the city's vegetable demand.
It goes without saying that the government must also draft and enforce appropriate land use provisions and stem the rise in land prices. Until then, the likes of Khadka and Lama can only wait and watch as their livelihoods fall prey to urban sprawl.

During its first full year of operation, KEXP’s Gathering Space expanded its role in the local arts ecosystem as a community hub, venue, and broadcast base of operations. In total, 151,769 people visited the Gathering Space and 2,952 guests toured KEXP in 2017.
January’s Bed-In for Peace set the tone for 2017, with performances by Tomo Nakayama, Grace Love, Wimps, and others. Other standout events included free Uptown Concerts by alternative pioneers Violent Femmes and New Orleans’ legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, readings by Billy Bragg and Damon Krukowski as part of Songbook: KEXP’s Music & Literature Series, and a moving tribute to Chris Cornell.
“The 28,000-square-foot space, designed by SkB Architects, also houses a small stage for intimate, free public concerts, which is frequently used for other purposes, including recent tributes to the late Chris Cornell, Prince, David Bowie, Sharon Jones and Leonard Cohen, and events such as benefit concerts, family dance parties, artist education workshops, and community gatherings. All of these functions are set to a highly curated soundtrack, of course, and fulfill what station leaders had envisioned: a place to connect.”

Tina Diamond started her professional career as a background singer for Ronnie Lovejoy who was signed by Avanti as a solo artist in 2000. The resulting album, "In The Heart Of The City", was a success. On it Diamond covered Lovejoy's classic "Sho' Wasn't Me" as "Positive I.D. (It Sho Was You)". The album also included duets with budding stars Reggie P. ("Love On The Line") and Rue Davis ("You're Not My Honey Poo"). A further track from the album, "Casino Woman", became her signature song. Diamond was dubbed the "casino queen" when she was advertized for live gigs.
Diamond released a comeback CD in 2011, "Real Love", featuring J.T. Watkins on the Otis Redding classic "Tramp". Diamond died in 2012 after collapsing on stage.

Back to December.. The Lovers Tarot WIP
I did not want to make any new art. In fact, I’ve had a lot of other things on my mind and wasn’t feeling at all like I was in the right mindset to be working on new artwork this entire month.. or much else, for that matter. Relationships have been so rocky, my fibromyalgia/depression has hit strong the last few weeks and I’ve been pretty down over that and a lot of other things the past month or two. (I wonder if I have some SAD in there as well. The dark dreary winter months never do help.)
I spent the last few days working on some much needed cleaning. My original thought was to start some heavy duty cleaning in the new year, but a few days ago I found it really, really tough to find the right motivation to do much of anything; so I decided that well, if I’m not going to do anything, I might as well clean. (That and my fibro’s been brutal on my fingers and wrists as of late and really needed a break from the computer.)
And after a few days of just taking my time with cleaning, moving things around and organizing a bit, I actually kind of surprised myself and felt like doing a little painting tonight. I’ve had The Lovers tarot card on my list for the longest time, but hadn’t felt like I was feeling the love, I suppose, to be able to actually paint this one. But tonight, I managed to pull out the sketch and started working on it. And you know what? I kind of feel good about it.
Here’s hoping that the last few days of December are as enjoyable as starting this painting has been, and to a much brighter New Year.

There’s only three days to the New Year? How did that happen so quickly? That must mean it’s time for “New Year’s at Disneyland”. December 31, 1981. Mickey and Minnie look ready to celebrate the New Year in style!
The Manhattan Transfer!!! Boy was I a fool not to attend on this occasion. I love The Manhattan Transfer; I still play my 45 of Manhattan Transfer’s “Twilight Zone” from 1979. You can buy the song for a penny here (link). Kool & the Gang at the Space Stage in Tomorrowland most likely singing their 1980 hit Celebration, wow this was quite a night!

Dock Street Brewery and PAWS Team Up to Save Lives!
Beer drinkers and animal lovers rejoice! You can soon enjoy a flavorful hazy IPA that benefits the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society. Dock Street Found Friends, their newest brew, is 6.5% ABV with 65 IBU and hopped with Idaho 7 and Motueka. For every 4-pack sold, $1 will be donated to support PAWS’ mission of making Philadelphia a no-kill city for four-legged friends like Lilith (pictured below).
PAWS rescued Lilith from the city shelter after she was brought in as a stray. Last week, this sweet and outgoing two-month-old
teamed up with Dock Street’s brewers to ensure that Dock Street Found Friends would be the tastiest lifesaving beer on the market. Proceeds from Dock Street Found Friends will enable PAWS to rescue Philadelphia’s most vulnerable pets – providing medical care, foster care, and TLC while working to find them loving homes.
Launch party: Thursday, May 4, 5-7 pm at Dock Street Brewery South, 2118 Washington Avenue
Bring your dog and be among the first to try Dock Street Found Friends on Thursday, May 4 at Dock Street Brewery South! The launch party will feature a raffle for cans of Dock Street Found Friends with Dock Street and PAWS merchandise, information on how to get involved with PAWS, and a brewery tour with Head Brewer and PAWS foster, Mark Russell. Of course, there’s always something for the pups, too: dog treats made from Dock Street Found Friends spent grain!
The backstory: how Dock Street Found Friends was developed
Dock Street Brewery has been a proud PAWS partner since 2019, when Lauren Hanak joined PAWS’ staff and brought her husband and Dock Street’s Head Brewer, Mark Russell, into the fold. The two have fostered over 50 PAWS cats and kittens and are excited to combine their two passions: beer and ending pet homelessness.
Since then, Dock Street Brewing has supported countless PAWS initiatives, benefiting Philadelphia’s pets in need and the people who love them. “My very first cat, in college, was called Maggie, named after that Bob Dylan song ‘Maggie’s Farm,’” says Rosemarie Certo, owner and founder of Dock Street Brewing. “In her memory, I want to say that all animals matter and deserve a loving home and great care. We’re honored to work with PAWS to bring awareness and to show how happy and complete ‘Dock Street Found Friends’ can make us!”
“PAWS’ partnership with Dock Street Brewery is a wonderful example of how communities become stronger when businesses support organizations that touch their hearts,” says Melissa Levy, executive director of PAWS. “Simply put, Dock Street’s generosity saves animals who are depending on all of us to come together. We couldn’t be more grateful for them, and the release of Dock Street Found Friends is a truly exciting and proud moment!”
