This is my conure, Pepper. Like my cat, she’s very photogenic and lends her image to a lot of artwork. The one below was an experiment with my grandchildren’s watercolor crayons. It looks elementary like the medium I was using. I think the texture of the paper was too pronounced.
Here’s an acrylic painting of her from a previous post. What a dignified profile!
Sgraffito is an art technique that involves scratching through a layer of paint or other media to reveal a contrasting color beneath. Historical applications include painting, pottery, and glass, but the definition also applies to drawing media like scratch board, crayon and oil pastel etchings.
In this acrylic portrait of my conure I’ve used sgraffito to liven up the background. The process was simple: I put down a layer of paint, let it dry, then put on a thicker coat and used a pointed stick to scratch designs into it while it was still wet.
The duck painting in the previous ART BYTE, was based on the work of early twentieth century abstract artist Paul Klee. He was such a great experimenter that I decided to do at least one more duck in his honor. This one explores one of his later techniques in which he blended colors together in blocks or free form shapes and then drew black lines on top. These lines were often symbolic in nature reflecting his fascination with mysticism and the subconscious mind.
Klee also liked to experiment with different materials. In some of these particular paintings he used burlap as a ground. He glued a layer of paper over his burlap but I just coated mine with gesso and painted directly onto it. Unfortunately, this left a lot of tiny little pin pricks of white in the spaces between the woven fibers. I had to go back and paint these individually with a tiny little brush. To solve this problem I tried beginning Symbolic Duck 2 with a brown wash, but even this left some of the white board underneath the burlap showing through. Lesson learned: when painting on burlap be prepared to do some extra preparation.
Below are two of Paul Klee’s more colorful symbolic paintings. Some of his later works are very dark reflecting his personal suffering. He had lost his peers, August Mack and Franz Marc in WWI. By 1935 his health was failing due to a degenerative disease. The Nazis singled him out as a Jew, the Gestapo searched his house, got him fired from his teaching job at Düsseldorf Academy, and confiscated some of his later work.
Paul Klee, Heroic Roses, 1938
Paul Klee, Flora on Rocks Sun, 1940
At his death in 1940 he had completed 9000 works of art.You can see about 200 of them WikiArt.org. You can also find a number of boards dedicated to his work, including some lesson plans for kids, on Pinterest.
The second painting in my duck series was inspired by Paul Klee whose artistic experimentation had a great deal influence on early abstract art. He was also a gifted musician, and in the 1930’s he borrowed the musical term polyphonic to describe his compositions of layered forms and colors. Polyphonic Duck is modeled after this approach, which superimposed mosaic-like grids of squares or dots over a painting.
I was inspired to do this painting by a prompt in a book called Paint Lab by Deborah Forman. The picture space in the author’s example was broken up with curved lines similar to the ones in Polyphonic Duck. I did a similar thing but also included Walter the duck, which created a focal point and added an additional layer to the composition.
This was actually the painting that inspired me to do a series of duck paintings in the styles of some different artists.
Many of Paul Klee’s works can be seen on sites like WikiArt.org and Pinterest. Ad Parnassum, one of my personal favorites, is considered by some to be his masterpiece.
Artists get inspiration from different sources , including the work of other artists. The subject of my next series of paintings will be a Pekin duck painted in the styles of some famous artists. Walter (pictured below) was adopted from a university lab, lived a cushy life in my back yard and will now be immortalized in paint.
My first portrayal of Walter Duck is in the style of Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. He became famous in the 1960’s for his DC Comics inspired paintings. His process was to crop the part of the comic he wanted, render it in Ben-Day Dots and add speech and thought bubbles containing tongue-in-cheek humor. His most iconic work is Drowning Girl which you can see at the Museum of Modern in New York (or you can just click on the title and take a look at it.)
It was fairly easy to put Walter into a comic book design but impossible to paint the little round dots perfectly. Lichtenstein used stencils. I traced my dots through the perforated surface of a rolling cart, and then painted them one by one. Good thing for me this was only 5″ x 7″.
This portrait was an exercise in expressive color. It was done from an old black and white photo which is good to work from if you want to experiment with color.
Expressive color is also known as arbitrary color. It’s not meant to be realistic – which is local color – but colors are chosen for their emotional or aesthetic qualities.
The art movement in which expressive color first appeared in full force was Fauvism. Artists of the time – late 19th and early 20th centuries – were already moving away from the Renaissance notion of painting realistic spacial depth. The Fauves (French for “wild beasts”) took it a step further and eliminated realistic color in favor of expressionistic color. Click here to see a famous portrait by the movement’s leader, Henri Matisse.
These are the final zinnias in this series. Like the one in the previous post, the top one’s concentric rows of petals get darker in value as they progress outward. The rows in the bottom one do the opposite, getting darker toward the center.
Neither of these are painted from actual models. After painting the blooms over and over I’ve gotten familiar enough with them to take some liberties and experiment a bit.
Today’s zinnia is a burst of sunshine like its namesake, Madison. It’s painterly and textured like the ones in the previous post. Also like Zinnia 8 “Jo”, this one has multiple rows of petals that change in value as they go outward. The rest of the zinnia studies will be like this.
These zinnia studies are experiments with dry brushing, layering and different handling of edges. For example, the top bloom has more expressionistic brushstrokes where as the bottom one has clearly defined petals. Both have all the leaves radiating out from the bloom as in the previous post but their edges are less defined and more integrated with the background. I also made an effort to layer the colors, especially in the leaves and background.
To see an example of a masterpiece with orange zinnias, check out Vincent Van Gogh’s beautiful Vase with Zinnias.
Ever since I can remember, my mother’s favorite color was blue. Then suddenly – in her 60’s I think – she fell in love with yellow and still prefers it to this day. So I wanted to name one of these yellow zinnias after her.
I think this one has the best composition so far. I limited the leaves to those that radiated out from the bloom instead of including bits of foliage from surrounding flowers. That will be standard procedure from here on.
So far, my zinnias have been done in a painterly (with visible brushstrokes) style. Click on the link below to see a photo-realistic yellow zinnia by contemporary realist John Stuart Ingle.

Software and gimmicky products that promise riches overnight typically have a very short shelf life. They may work for a little while, but ultimately they will fail you unless you know how to make adjustments to the software yourself. Instead of getting suckered into trading product scams you're much better off spending your time and money on your own education.
Once you have a specific set of entry rules, scan through more charts to see if those conditions are generated each day (assuming you want to day trade every day) and more often than not produce a price move in the anticipated direction. If so, you have a potential entry point for a strategy. You'll then need to assess how to exit, or sell, those trades.
In addition, in the United States, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and SEC further restrict the entry by means of "pattern day trader" amendments. Pattern day trader is a term defined by the SEC to describe any trader who buys and sells a particular security in the same trading day (day trades), and does this four or more times in any five consecutive business day period. A pattern day trader is subject to special rules, the main rule being that in order to engage in pattern day trading in a margin account, the trader must maintain an equity balance of at least $25,000. It is important to note that this requirement is only for day traders using a margin account.
Because scalpers focus on short-term positions with low-profit margins, the best scalping strategies (such as the Triple S strategy mentioned below) require some leverage. It's recommended that scalpers start with a large amount of capital. Opening and closing larger positions allow you to reduce the marginal costs of trading and maximize potential gains.
Traders pay close attention to intraday price movements by using real-time charts in an attempt to benefit from short-term price fluctuations. Short-term traders typically use one-, five-, 15-, 30- and 60-minute intraday charts when trading within the market day. Typically, intraday scalping uses one- and five-minute charts for high-speed trading. Other intraday trading strategies may use 30- and 60-minute charts for trades that have hold times of several hours. Scalping is a strategy of transacting many trades per day that hopes to profit from small movements in a stock's price. The intraday trader may hold their positions for a longer period but still operate under high risks.
When you start day trading you’ll have a host of difficult decisions to make. Should you be using Robinhood? What about day trading on Coinbase? Do you have the right desk setup? Where can you find an excel template? How do you set up a watch list? The meaning of all these questions and much more is explained in detail across the comprehensive pages on this website.
This strategy is mostly only done by day traders. It requires that you have access to one to several real-time news sources and can make split second decisions. News and rumors can provide large amounts of volatility and high emotion creating great opportunities if traded properly. The biggest challenge of trading this strategy is anticipating the market’s reaction to the news and how it effects the price of the stock. Click here for more information on trading news and rumors.
Range trading, or range-bound trading, is a trading style in which stocks are watched that have either been rising off a support price or falling off a resistance price. That is, every time the stock hits a high, it falls back to the low, and vice versa. Such a stock is said to be "trading in a range", which is the opposite of trending. The range trader therefore buys the stock at or near the low price, and sells (and possibly short sells) at the high. A related approach to range trading is looking for moves outside of an established range, called a breakout (price moves up) or a breakdown (price moves down), and assume that once the range has been broken prices will continue in that direction for some time.
The first EMA (50) must be positioned above the second EMA (100). When this has occurred, it is essential to wait until the price comes back to the EMAs. In turn, the Stochastic Oscillator is exploited to cross over the 20 level from below. The moment you observe the three items arranged in the proper way, opening a long (buy) order may be an option.
This is usually reserved for traders working for larger institutions or those who manage large amounts of money. The dealing desk provides these traders with instantaneous order executions, which are particularly important when sharp price movements occur. For example, when an acquisition is announced, day traders looking at merger arbitrage can place their orders before the rest of the market is able to take advantage of the price differential.
As with bullish swing trades, if the reward-to-risk ratio is acceptable, you could enter your trade using a sell-stop limit order. This would result in selling the stock short once it hits your entry point. Selling short is the process of borrowing shares from your online broker and selling them in the open market, with the intention of purchasing the shares back for less cost in the future. An alternative to short selling would be to buy an in-the-money put option. If you choose to use options, you would use a contingent order to buy the put after the stock hit the entry price.
Individuals who attempt to day trade without an understanding of market fundamentals often lose money. Technical analysis and chart reading is a good skill for a day trader to have, but without a more in-depth understanding of the market you're in and the assets that exist in that market, charts may be deceiving. Do your due diligence and understand the particular ins and outs of the products you trade.
The first EMA (50) should be positioned below the second EMA (100). As with the buy entry points, we wait until the price returns to the EMAs. Additionally, the Stochastic Oscillator is utilised to cross over the 80 level from above. As soon as all the items are in place, you may open a short or sell order without any hesitation. The exact same things occur here. Stop-losses are positioned near 2-3 pips above the last high point of the swing accordingly, and take-profits should remain within 8-12 pips from the entry price.
By aggressively trading on margin he can produce 5% daily profits on the 100k buying power he will grow their 25k cash at the rate of 20% per day. The risk of course is that he will make a mistake that will cost him everything. Unfortunately, this is the fate of 9 out of 10 traders. The cause of these career ending mistakes is a failure to manage risk.
Unlike a number of day trading strategies where you can have a win/loss ratio of less than 50% and still make money, scalp traders must have a high win/loss ratio. This is due to the fact that losing and winning trades are generally equal in size. The necessity of being right is the primary factor scalp trading is such a challenging method of making money in the market.
Swing trading refers to the practice of trying to profit from market swings of a minimum of one day and as long as several weeks. In contrast to swing traders, day traders usually are in and out of the market in one day and trend traders often hold positions for several months. So, in terms of length of holding a trade, swing traders are in between day traders and trend traders.
Due to the increased leverage and quick returns, day trading can be extremely profitable. The downside is that if done incorrectly, it can also be extremely unprofitable. Due to the high volatility of day trading, some people have labeled Day Traders as gamblers or adrenaline junkies. However, many people make a very consistent and comfortable living from day trading. Some even make millions of dollars each year.
FX 1-minute scalping is a day trading strategy, as it involves opening a certain position, gaining a few pips, and then closing the position afterward. It is one of the most basic and resourceful trading strategies. The main aspect of Forex scalping is quantity. It is not unusual for traders to place more than 100 trades a day. For this reason, it is important to pick a broker with the smallest spreads, as well as the smallest commissions.
It is important to make sure you have a fully developed training plan before starting to trade any swing trading system. This will help you prepare to become more successful and join the ranks of professional day traders. It is our goal to give you the trading opportunities, as well as help you in every way that we can to become the best swing traders around. You can also learn the way bankers trade in the forex market.
Many orders placed by investors and traders begin to execute as soon as the markets open in the morning, which contributes to price volatility. A seasoned player may be able to recognize patterns and pick appropriately to make profits. But for newbies, it may be better just to read the market without making any moves for the first 15 to 20 minutes. The middle hours are usually less volatile, and then movement begins to pick up again toward the closing bell. Though the rush hours offer opportunities, it’s safer for beginners to avoid them at first.

Nick Clegg defied David Cameron by calling for the pact on fiscal union planned by other European Union countries to be "absorbed" into the EU's governing treaties.
The move would anger Conservative Eurosceptics, who claim it would undermine the veto wielded by David Cameron at last month's EU summit. His veto forced the other 26 nations to forge a separate "treaty outside the EU treaties".
Incorporating the agreement would mean Britain accepting the deal.
The Deputy Prime Minister hosted a meeting of 15 senior Liberal politicians from around Europe in London yesterday, which called for the fiscal union designed to save the euro "to be rolled into the EU treaties in due course".
Mr Clegg, who was furious that Mr Cameron did not try harder to avoid isolation at the Brussels summit, said Britain should get "stuck in" to EU negotiations and not "retreat to the margins." He added that the UK should be "engaged, not disengaged".
He told a press conference that Europe could only overcome its economic crisis by sticking together and avoiding "needless rivalry and isolation".

stage M2, LiPhy Grenoble
Evanescent field patterning for optogenetic activation of live cells
Stage Master proposé par le LiPhy Grenoble :
We propose to develop a setup for programmable patterned evanescent field illumination, in order to directly activate the basal membrane of a cell adhering on a substrate, rather than the standard cytosolic activation.
Wavefront control will be performed by the means of a Digital Micromirror Device, in order to optimize the illumination geometry by using a holographic approach.
This internship requires a background in optics/physics. It will take place at the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Physics (LIPhy, Grenoble), in close collaboration with biologists of the Institute for Advanced Biosciences. It involves both simulations and first experiments on an optical bench to define the best optical configuration compatible with a microscope environment.

There is smoke coming from the crank case where you add oil. Also from where the dipstick goes. What’s wrong?
If you have smoke coming from oil cap, and the oil is foamy, exhaust gases are mixing with the oil. This comes from leaking valve stem seals or piston rings. When valve stems leak, exhaust gases can get past them, mixing with oil in the head. Some blow by is normal for piston rings, since they can’t make a perfect seal. This is normally removed by the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system. However, worn rings leak more exhaust gases than the PCV system can handle, giving it time to mix with oil inside the bottom of the engine.

This is the story of the saints and spirits that helped Carol Matsumoto buy and renovate a stately home that had fallen into disrepair, turning it into a successful bed and breakfast. As Carol began the laborious process of renovating a historic Connecticut home, originally built by Captain William Grant in 1754, it became clear to her that the miracles and messages she received were coming from helpers beyond this world. Once the bed and breakfast opened, the evidence for paranormal activity became overwhelming. When a guest of the inn used dowsing rods to communicate with the spirits, a whole new chapter began, with Carol learning the backstory and desires of the twelve spirits who call the inn home.
Mini Book Breakdown
This books follows the story of how Captain Grant's came to be and the spirits that live there. It's cool to see this woman's journey as she went through this long process. It was also nice to see how she connected with the spirits and how it changed her views on things. I loved hearing about the things the spirits would do to the guests that stayed at her Bed and Breakfast.
I'd never heard about the Gathering before and the war with that the spirits that is going to come soon. It was also nice to see a different version of hell. Not hot and burning but a cold, alone place with no God there at all. No other humans, no contact. That sounds worse to me than burning forever. Being trapped in darkness with no love around you. It would drive one insane I think.
I love how simple the author writes and how easy it is to follow her though all this. She starts way back to the experience she had as a child. So you really get to glimpse her life and how she has been in tune with things even before she knew it herself. Wonderful read. I enjoyed it very much. If you like ghosts, then you'll love this!

Posted on 04/09/2002 7:30:37 PM PDT by Bad~Rodeo
click here to read article
In March 1988, two years after the deal was struck, it was discovered that Saudi Arabia had bought an undisclosed number of CSS-2 "East Wind" intermediate range missiles from China. (1) The number was later put at 50 missiles and nine launchers. (2) According to Assistant Secretary of State Richard Clarke, the missiles were still not operational in late 1989. (3) However, in early June 1990, Flight International reported that, according to Israeli intelligence, the CSS-2 missiles were deployed and operational at two sites: al-Sulaiyil, about 500 km south of Riyadh and al-Joffer, 100 km south of Riyadh. According to the article, each site houses four to six concrete launch pads and stores approximately 60 missiles. (4)
The East Wind's modified range/payload (5) of 2,500 km/2,000 kg (conventional load) brings many countries within striking range, including Israel, the former Soviet Union, and Iran, though the missiles are said to be targeted on Tehran and other Iranian population centers, rather than Israel.The 2.5 km CEP of the CSS-2 missiles, combined with the cost of the purchase (6) has led to a great deal of speculation about Saudi Arabia's intentions. The missiles are far too inaccurate to be used against any point target with either HE or chemical warheads. King Fahd has pledged that Saudi Arabia will not arm the missiles with unconventional warheads nor use them in a first-strike mode. (7) According to a study by the Congressional Research Service, the Reagan administration received an assurance in writing that the Saudis would not obtain or use chemical or nuclear warheads with the CSS-2 missiles. (8) To further allay such fears, Saudi Arabia signed the NPT in April 1988. To date (August 1996), no ballistic missiles other than the CSS-2 are reported to be operational or under development in Saudi Arabia.
None of the CSS-2s was fired during Desert Storm. In an interview with The Washington Times, Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, acknowledging the inaccuracy of the CSS-2 and its consequent potential for killing civilians, said, "King Fahd ruled out that option [launching the missiles against Iraq] because of the fact that you cannot conrol it [the missiles] accurately. Our problem is that our war was not with the Iraqi people; it was with Saddam Hussein and his clique." (9) However, the multi-billion dollar King Khalid Military City is reported to include nuclear missile silos and nuclear-proofed underground command bunkers with full arming and firing capabilities. (10)
1. According to the Los Angeles Times, the sale was made in July 1985 (Jim Mann, "U.S. caught napping by Sino-Soviet missile deal," Los Angeles Times, 4 May 88, p. 1, 8).
2. The Los Angeles Times reported (ibid., p. 8) that Saudi Arabia had purchased between 20 and 25 CSS-2 missiles, of which China is thought to have produced no more than 100. Two days later The Washington Times claimed, "The most recent shipment of about 25 CSS-2s arrived last month, complementing the first shipment of about 25 sent from China last fall." (Bill Gertz, "State, Pentagon worry about Saudi missiles," The Washington Times, 12 May 88, p. A3) These figures differ substanially from the later claim, discussed below, that the Saudis had deployed four to six launchers and 60 missiles at each of two sites.
China maintains a small missile force suitable for attacking regional targets. The Css-2 intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) first became operational in 1971, has a range of about 3,000 kilometers (1.5 lines omitted) It is liquid-fueled and road-transportable."
The first stage of the TD-2 is said to bear a close resemblance to the Chinese CSS-2's and CSS-3's first stage, but is slightly smaller. Other reports suggest that the first stage of the Taep'o-dong-2 is almost identical to the Chinese CSS-2.

I remember Reagan and the AWACs sale, was aware of the Saudi arms buildup, but never knew jack-squat about their missile program.
During the reporting period, Chinese entities provided Pakistan with missile-related technical assistance. Pakistan has been moving toward domestic serial production of solid-propellant SRBMs with Chinese help. Pakistan also needs continued Chinese assistance to support development of the two-stage Shaheen-II MRBM. In addition, firms in China have provided dual-use missile-related items, raw materials, and/or assistance to several other countries of proliferation concernsuch as Iran, North Korea, and Libya.
In the nuclear area, China has made bilateral pledges to the United States that go beyond its 1992 NPT commitment not to assist any country in the acquisition or development of nuclear weapons. For example, in May 1996 Beijing pledged that it would not provide assistance to unsafeguarded nuclear facilities.
With respect to Pakistan, Chinese entities in the past provided extensive support to unsafeguarded as well as safeguarded nuclear facilities, which enhanced substantially Pakistans nuclear weapons capability. We cannot rule out some continued contacts between Chinese entities and entities associated with Pakistans nuclear weapons program subsequent to Beijings 1996 pledge and during this reporting period.
I agree with you. The Saudis have grand delusions, and are likely to act upon them
OTOH, a few years back I worked at the US defense contractor which set up the Saudi air defense system, and got a good look at the "perfumed princes" that the Saudis have in their officer corps. I'm happiest at the thought that they would be on the OTHER side...
King Khalid Military City, built in the 80s, was US Designed, Supervised by the Corps of Engineers, etc. Hardly a secret.
Most air bases and radar sites were also US designed and built.
Squadrons and Squadrons of Saudi piloted planes threaten only sand dunes and anything in the glide path.
Because royals get first crack at being pilots, they have the largest cadre of totally untrainable pilots.These guys are in it for the uniform and rank. They refuse to be stationed anywhere other than the three large cities.
If they got Chinese missles, then they had to get the Chinese technicians and rocketeers because they could never launch with total Saudi control.
The whole article sounds like somebody couldn't get their shortwave working tonight and posted the script here instead.
Ever since September 11 it has been crystal clear that the Saudis are at the very heart of the Islamic threat. Once again, it seems to me that the only solution is to arrange some sort of coup, go in, and break the country in two.
One part for the oil, the other part for the holy places. The combination of control over the world's oil supply with Islamic fundamentalism is simply too dangerous.
There is too much power, too much fanaticism, too much economic control all concentrated in one place. A billion muslims, fanatical clerics, treacherous sheikhs, and oceans of money, all concentrated around Mecca. This cancer just can't be allowed to grow any further. I don't advocate that Bush should rush into anything. This situation is too dangerous for us to act with anything but extreme caution and careful preparation. But Saudi Arabia should be at the very center of Bush's long-range planning. If not, we will all pay a heavy price.
Watching it all unfold, I'm always wondering what info below our civilian radar is changing the equation. This missle story is plausible, and significant, if true...enough so that we've most likely already drawn a bead on their Star City, and Israel has also.
I'm thinking a premptive move, we checkmate the Axis of Evil in about 6 hours' time.
It also explains why the Saudi's have been handled with "kid gloves" in recent years.
For the war between the Wahabbi and the Shi'a?
Because royals get first crack at being pilots, they have the largest cadre of totally untrainable pilots.
I'm trying hard to regret the waste of beautiful aircraft, but am somehow LMAO.
After all, their checks did clear.

Cyberlaw Scholar Lessig Heads East
Was it a flood of curious readers or a malicious attack that brought down Larry Lessig's blog Friday afternoon? He was hacked, he explained on Twitter, and it could not have happened at a less auspicious time. Lessig had just posted the biggest news of his already larger-than-life scholarly career: He is leaving Stanford Law School to return to Harvard Law School. (Jonathan Zittrain published a copy of Lessig's post and Harvard had its own announcement.)
The renowned cyberlaw and IP scholar taught at both Harvard and the University of Chicago Law School before joining Stanford's faculty in 2000. When he returns to Harvard next summer, he will join the faculty and become director of the university's Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics. That role fits well with his announcement last year that he was shifting his academic focus from free culture to what he called "corruption": "To focus on the many institutions in public life that depend upon trust to succeed, but which are jeopardizing that trust through an improper dependence on money." (Think medical researchers receiving drug company money.)
Still, Lessig writes that his decision to leave Stanford involved "a complicated mix of excitement and sadness." He praised Stanford as "an extraordinary law school" with students who are "brilliant, yet balanced" and a faculty that is "brilliant, yet surprisingly humble." He was also reluctant to leave California, given the allure of San Francisco's social and political environment and the region's enormous beauty.
But in the end, it was impossible for me to be committed to the project while turning down this opportunity. It is not just the institution, nor the (partial) freedom from teaching. It is the chance to frame a large-scale project devoted to a large, important and complex problem. Once we saw it like this, my wife and I decided that returning to this old home was the right thing to do. And so in June, we will pack up the car for a cross country trek, back to Harvard.
Harvard's recruitment of Lessig is another feather in the cap for Dean Elena Kagan. As we noted here in October, the school has been in a process of "reinventing" itself as more vital and nimble, and faculty hiring has been the most visible evidence of that, with the school bringing in a wave of high-profile scholars. In Harvard's announcement Friday, Kagan called Lessig "one of the most brilliant and important legal scholars of our time."

Most of the slot machines feature excellent graphics and attractive animations, which are sure to delight the players. But not all slots are created equal. If you want to make the most of your money in the slot machines, you have to choose a reputable agen judi online that provides high payouts and quality slot games.
One of the best agen judi online is Japanslot88. This online casino has a wide variety of slot games that will suit the needs of any player. However, you will need to register and make a deposit before you can play.
Another reputable agen judi online is Oceanslot88. It offers a number of casino games, including slot, sbobet, poker and idn. You can try a free demo of their slot games to determine if they’re right for you. Some of their popular slot games include Starlight Princess, which has a jackpot of 21,100x. Despite its high RTP, this is a game that can be easily played.
For players who prefer to play slot games in HTML5 format, there are a few options. The Slotland Interactive website allows you to download a slot demo for free. Aside from that, the company’s most popular game is Aztec Gems, which is a classic and simple game.
Another slot provider, PG Soft, also provides high quality slots. The company has many unique features to offer, such as its battery saving mode. Also, the company offers a wide range of payout percentages. They provide a lot of innovations, which make their slot machine more appealing to the players.
Other slot providers include BoomingPORTFOLIO and Yggdrasil. These companies have been in the business for years, so you can expect them to have a great selection of slot games. Their portfolio includes more than 180 titles. Each of these games has a unique theme. And you’ll even be able to customize your preferences for each of the games.
Pragmatic Play is an online casino that provides a wide range of classic and video slots. Its popularity is largely attributed to its massive exposure. It relies on a variety of channels to promote its products, such as streamers and promo campaigns. Many of its most successful slot games, like Sweet Bonanza, share traditional characteristics.
Slotland Interactive has been in the slot industry for more than ten years, so it has a great deal of experience. Although their most popular games are not available in HTML5 format, they have released hundreds of alternative games. They’ve even launched a new free slot demo.
While there are a few different types of online slot games, most of them have the same basic characteristics. They offer a grid of three reels and entertaining animations. There are usually several bonus features, such as free spins and sound effects, and they can be customized to match the player’s preferences.

This report, by Rob Bushby (Friends of the Award), describes the Day of Access event at Greendykes Bing, or 'Niddrie Woman', which he guided. You can read Alec's introduction to the event here.
Are ‘The Bings’ the most viewed but least explored natural feature in the country? The shale mounds of West Lothian are both familiar and foreign, a landmark that’s close yet distant.
They squat near the junction of the M8 and M9 motorways, passed by east-west and north-south trains, scattered beyond the end of Edinburgh airport’s runway. Scanned by travellers, commuters and locals from road, rail and air, the rust-red bings are little trod. These 19th century deposits of oil industry detritus are a historic landscape blemish and also a site in recovery.
They’re a wound inflicted on the countryside that, in its healing, is creating its own ecology.
This renewal creates natural links with ‘Day of Access’, a concept developed by artist-poet Alec Finlay for people with limited walking. Its aim is “to have healing experiences of wild land…The interest is in how someone responds to the site, their perceptions and feelings”.
Alec himself is access-limited (ME and Long Covid). He writes and advocates for creative forms of wild nature experiences, using place-awareness and ecopoetic approaches to discover “what will happen when vulnerable bodies encounter vulnerable landscapes”.
Since 1998 the charity ‘Friends of the Award’ has supported young people in Edinburgh and the Lothians, irrespective of background or life challenges, to participate in youth awards – primarily the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award but also the Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS), John Muir Award and others. These opportunities can build self-esteem, help establish healthy lifestyles, and lead to new skills and qualifications to help future prospects.
A long-term Friends of the Award collaboration with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) offers one-to-one mentoring to vulnerable and marginalised young people who are struggling with mental health issues.
Usually the focus of Day of Access is constrained walking but, for this excursion with colleagues and two young people, the focus is on exploring parallels of place-based and personal recuperation. “I’m interested in how young participants will respond to this bare landscape of spoil, once defined as derelict and now recognised as ecologically significant”, says Alec.
A ‘sole map’ is a simple tool for capturing thoughts and feelings and comparing perspectives across two dimensions or locations: bottom/top, now/later, here/there.
Writing words into a first footprint prompts an immediate response to the bings. An initial other-worldliness is striking. “It’s like a sci-fi film set, as if we’ve been dropped on Mars or Ayers Rock”, says E. “I didn’t expect the red-brown colours to be so dramatic. It feels foreign and abstract!”
We reflect on the contrast between our industrial estate start point and, beyond the moat-like canal boundary, “a secluded new environment. I didn’t think there’d be so much woodland. The harshness gives way to a soft green lushness.”
The change from a central belt hubbub is noticed by A. “It’s so peaceful, weirdly silent, so cool. It has a sense of loneliness and desolation too, of being asleep, at rest. It makes you feel safe being away from the traffic and noise.”
We’re immersed in natural and industrial heritage. There’s a coot on the canal. The Birdnerd song app identifies long-tailed tits along wooded flanks. Knowledge about post-flowering, seed-dispersing rosebay willowherb is shared: prevalent on open ground and a coloniser of recently scorched earth it’s also known as ‘fireweed’ and ‘London’s Ruin’ after the Great Fire; its leaves resemble those of the willow species. Tracks indicate the presence of others – fox, perhaps, and motorbike, definitely.
Two buzzards keep company with a raven, high-pitched mewling mingling with corvid croak. With mature trees, a water expanse and steep-sided bluffs, it feels like an authentic rather than artificial landscape.
The loose shale ground releases artefacts and remnants of industry, previously absorbed technology that has become naturalised. There’s corroded steel cable and rusted dismembered metal – evidence of the infrastructure used to convey waste rock from local mining sites. It’s easy to imagine the noisy sweaty effort expended to create the mounds, a living museum. It’s a reminder too, that everything – inanimate objects, people – is in a process of transformation. To quote Neil Young, perhaps with generational incongruence, “Rust never sleeps”.
Plateau, Panorama, Poetry
A short and punchy uphill push reveals the elevated platform of an expansive plateau. We’re on Greendykes bing, the largest of the group, with nearby Niddry, Faucheldean and Albyn bings now in view.
Beyond is an exceptional panorama of central Scotland. We take it in collectively, naming what we see in a 360-degree sweep. There’s Bass Rock and North Berwick Law, Edinburgh and Arthur’s Seat (“you can see my house from here – sort of!”), Hillend and the Pentlands, Jupiter Artland, Ben Ledi, the Ochils, the three Forth bridges, Lomond Hills, East Neuk of Fife and back round to the Forth Estuary islands.
Having encountered several of the ‘Lost Words’ given recent prominence by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris – Oak, Bramble, Fox, Raven – we dip into their books of poem-spells for impromptu readings.
In a follow-up session the participants respond to the landscape using acrostics:
Bring me a ruler to measure the sky
I want to know how far it stretches
from Bass Rock to Black Hill
Now listen to the sudden quiet
as you step into the realm of
Giants, sleeping by the road, blanketed
in green, a lush and verdant Mars
Swept by time, a living museum, claiming
its space–a lonely island left behind
Bold to the eye
Intriguing from afar
Nature fights back
Great hues of colour–
Bright, bold colours
Interesting to learn a
Great views all around–
Star Wars vibes
‘Here Be Dragons’
Unrolling a decades-old black and white aerial image confirms the evidence of recuperation. The previous barren-ness is in stark contrast to what surrounds us now.
Medieval mapmakers supposedly inscribed the phrase “Here Be Dragons” on maps to indicate unknown regions of the world. As we set out our contemporary OS and Urban Nature maps to orientate ourselves, there’s an equivalence with uncharted territory for young people to navigate.
Contradictions, peer pressure and complex emotions might be seen as common challenges across generations. But the world has changed rapidly in the past two decades. The ever-present nature and scale of issues, stresses and pressures that can cause vulnerability, anxiety, struggle and crisis are without precedent.
Whilst the greatest causes of dissatisfaction in adolescence continue to be school, friendships and appearance, ‘the environment’ is the number one concern for four in ten children in 2022 (The Good Childhood Report 2022).
Mental health services are stretched beyond capacity and failing to meet a rising demand for support.
Conversation turns to “a mental health journey”. Individual experience rather than clunky generalisation is important, as is context and shared understanding. What helps progress? “Nature connection and the chance to put something back. Spaces that feel safe, peaceful, away from busy-ness. I want to return here with my family and pick up some of the litter. Why? To help nature’s progress. It helps know your place…And even if it’s just a tiny gesture in the scheme of things, I’m thinking about the impact I have on the world.”
‘Greening the spoil’
Alec’s concluding blog questions are a prompt, and perhaps rhetorical:
“How do wounds heal over time.
How can we learn from nature’s ability to heal?
What has been spoilt and what can still heal?”
What’s immediately apparent from the rejuvenation of Greendykes bing is the role of time and natural process. Whilst not wishing to force responses by way of direct metaphor, its ecological reality provides a compelling motif.
Ongoing support for CAMHS referrals and young people across Edinburgh and the Lothians embraces principles of pacing, individual need, nature connectedness, focus and networks of support.
A and E have revisited their excursion experience in follow-up discussions – its challenges, as a stimulus for creative reflection – and are planning a return trip. Sharing their words and images might act as a ‘proxy walk’, and an invitation to others to explore West Lothian’s shale bings.
Notes on the West Lothian shale bings
There’s an irony to The Bings being tricky to approach on a ‘Day of Access’ outing. Entry via Greendykes Road and Albyn Industrial Estate is less than welcoming.
Instead, follow Dunnet Way (near Lidl) to Clifton View, where a path leads to a footbridge over the Union Canal to the wooded flanks of the shale mounds.
Read Alec Finlay’s blog about reasons for selecting ‘The Bings’ as a Day of Access location, and associations with the artist John Latham.
For History & Heritage watch ‘What They Don't Say About Scotland's Oil’, an informative 15-minute YouTube video by Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey.
Day of Access
The first image is by Hannah Devereux. The others are by Rob Bushby.
“A new program of 12 ‘Day of Access’ events is funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and supported by Lapidus Scotland. The concept is to offer creative forms of access to wild nature, using place-awareness and ecopoetic approaches, allied with the practical knowledge of rewilders, foresters and foragers and discover: what will happen when vulnerable bodies encounter vulnerable landscapes”.
The first ever Day of Access was held at Meall Tairneachan in 2019.
These are closed events, but their purpose is to encourage people to arrange their own Day of Access, and Alec will continue to update the blog.
Alec's blog post on proxy walks: “A couple of years ago I came up with a walking for art project: the proxy walk. For this a recipient chooses a place they loved to walk, when they could, and the walker does the walk for them…I’ve been told of an artist who gifts walks – a woman making them for other women – and of a nurse in a Perthshire care home who does the same for elderly residents. All limits create new possibilities.”
Thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund, Lapidus Scotland and Paths for All for making this event possible.

European Commission has published a financial prognosis and outlook for the economy of the region and let me tell you, the numbers are far from good.
It seems that because of the trade war and the general world slow down the GDP of EU is going to grow by only 1.3 percent this year against the previously estimated 1.9 percent.
For 2020 numbers have been lowered from 1.7 percent to 1.6 percent.
The main reason behind this is the trade relations between the US and China. The trade war influences world demand for the commodities and European good alike.
In case the two biggest economies cannot make piece in trade talks which are due until the end of this month, the outlook for the overall economy not only in Europe but also in the world is only going to get worse.
Can Europe handle pressure like that? I believe it can but not without its shares of losses. German consumption index is already down, France and Italy are following. The economy is already on the slowdown which investors could feel in the failing euro price.
Euro traders – who is feeling the changes in dynamic of euro?

Guess Who’s Making Sure Many Huge Corporations Stay Profitable?
By Jim Hightower
Posted February 25, 2018
The hustlers claim that job incentives are a sound investment of our tax dollars, because those new jobs create new taxpayers, meaning investments soon pay for themselves. Hmmm … not quite. In fact, not even close.
Last year, Good Jobs First tracked the 386 incentive deals since 1976 that gave at least $50 million to a corporation, and then it tallied the number of jobs created. The average cost per job was $658,427. Each! That’s likely far more than cities and states can recover through sales, property, income and all other taxes those jobholders would pay in their lifetimes. Worse, the rise of megadeals in the past 10 years has made the job-incentive argument mega-ridiculous: New York gave a $258-million subsidy to Yahoo and got 125 jobs — costing taxpayers $2 million per job.

The 7 of Cups is known as the daydreamer card.
This card is here to confront our daydreams.
We will or have been faced with making choices in our lives.
Each daydream pulls us this way while another that way.

Personally, I love my daydreams.

Under Paradise Valley
A PLAY FOR EPITAPHS
Hiraeth is a Welsh word with no equivalent in English. It refers to “the presence of absence” – a yearning for something or someone unattainable or irretrievable, existing beyond place or time, possibly a product of the imagination. This project began with an installation in the contemporary gallery space at Historic Northampton Museum. The installation was called, “Hiraeth in Northampton: An Exploration of Longing,” and it was composed of a series of salvaged windows, upon which I’d printed images of 18th century gravestone carvings from Northampton’s Bridge Street Cemetery.
In the installation, I asked viewers to have their photographs taken through the windows of their choice, paired with captions they’d chosen from a selection of gravestone epitaphs from Bridge Street Cemetery, lines of poetry, and quotes about 18th century New England stone carving.
In the resulting graphic script, I placed the captions back to back to create a “found” text woven together with added dialogue that fleshes out a series of conversations. I took care to assign the characters represented by each window only lines derived from the captions viewers chose for that window. For instance, five viewers who were photographed behind the window printed with a carving from the gravestone of Lt. Jonathan Hunt chose the caption, “The Presence of Absence.” This meant that the character in the graphic novel, Lt. Jonathan Hunt, had to utter the phrase “the presence of absence” five times.
By combining 21st century choices with 18th century words and images, the installation, and now the graphic script, seek to turn the presence of absence into a dialogue between centuries, the living and dead, sentient beings and stones, and graphic and literary expression. One hundred and twenty-five living people participated in the installation along with five dead ones. Their “conversation” serves as testimony that hiraeth is a creative conundrum. We long for the impossible—to meet the dead, to experience the past, to inhabit the same place in another time—and while we cannot overcome hiraeth literally, we try our best to look through distant windows and fill the view with imaginative collaborations.
As depicted in Under Paradise Valley, the five characters bear no association to the men and women they were in life. The text, however, does bear a resemblance to Under Milk Wood, Dylan Thomas’s “play for voices,” which serves as its inspiration.
I am interested in traveling the initial “Hiraeth” installation in order to create a series of playscripts based on different locations — “Under Paradise Valley” is very much a portrait of Northampton, Massachusetts — as well as unbinding the graphic script and presenting it as an art exhibition.

Porsche will host the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next week. One of them is the Cayman GT4, while the other remains unspecified, although the company talks about “another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack.” Could it be the new 911 GT3 RS, spotted at the Nürburgring and seen on pictures across the web for the past few months? It's possible, even likely.
Porsche Cayman GT4
The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Its 3.8L flat-6 engine, which is derived from the 911 Carrera S, produces 385 horsepower through a 6-speed transmission, allowing 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.4 seconds. The Cayman GT4 clocked a lap time of 7:40 minutes on the North Loop of the Nürburgring.
What about the Porsche 911 GT3 RS?
According to Axis of Oversteer, this new Porsche will house a 4.0L flat-6 engine producing in excess of 500 horsepower with the help of the 7-speed PDK. The hood and fenders will be made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic, while the roof will use magnesium alloy -- all in the name of weight reduction.
Patience, folks: The 2015 Geneva Motor Show is just a few days away!

Alexei grew up in Ukraine before meeting Loren in Israel.
90 Day Fiancé star Loren is opening up about how the Ukraine crisis is affecting her family. ET's Melicia Johnson sat down with Loren on Monday and she talked about her and her husband Alexei's personal connection to the crisis, given that Alexei grew up in Ukraine.
Alexei lived in Ukraine before moving to Israel, which is where he met Loren, who was there on a Birthright Israel program trip. Alexei was the medic for the trip and the two fell in love and Alexei moved to the United States to marry Loren. The couple tied the knot in 2015 and now have two sons, Shai and Asher.
"He has family there still [in Ukraine] and he even said, I didn't think it was going to affect me as much as it did and it's still affecting him," Loren tells ET. "I don't want to say our tone in our house has been depressing, it's been sad, it's scary."
"Because this is real, I mean, he grew up in Ukraine and then grew up in Israel and those are two spotlight countries and it's hard, but we do talk about it and it's very important to talk about instead of bottling it up," she adds.
Alexei isn't the only 90 Day Fiancé star that has personal ties to Ukraine. Natalie Mordovtseva, who hails from Ukraine, recently shared with her Instagram followers that her mother is safe amid the ongoing crisis in her home country.
Natalie moved from Ukraine to the United States to marry her now estranged husband, Mike, and a big part of her 90 Day Fiancé story was her extremely close relationship with her mother, Nelia. Nelia was a big fan of Mike, although Mike and Natalie are no longer together or are on good terms. Natalie, who is now living in Florida after moving out of Sequim, Washington, following her split from Mike, shared an update with fans on Monday.
"My mom is safe from today morning, she made it to Europe with some other families," she wrote in an Instagram Story. "Unfortunately, my all friends are locked at that hell ... every night they telling me that they gonna die. I'm suffering with my people."
Fellow 90 Day Fiancé star Yara Zaya, who also hails from Ukraine and moved to New Orleans to be with her husband, Jovi, has also been updating her Instagram followers on the crisis. On Monday, she shared how she was supporting her home country.
"Today we had a peaceful meeting in New Orleans to support the people of Ukraine," she wrote alongside pictures of her holding up a blanket of the Ukrainian flag. "Thanks so much to the lady who made this beautiful blanket for me, it means a lot for me. Thanks for everyone who showed up to support today, and everyone who has supported me through social media. I am sorry that I have not had the energy to respond to messages or comments. #prayforukraine #ukraine #nola."
In a recent video, she emotionally thanked all her fans for their support amid such a trying time and she said she felt her family was currently "in a safe place." However, she was extremely worried about her friends.
"My friends are calling me, they're hearing the bombs, they're hearing the noise," she said.
Fellow 90 Day Fiancé stars showed their support for Yara, including David Toborowsky and Tiffany Franco, who commented, "Any way I can help anything I can share please let me know ok dm me I don't know how to help but I want to anyway I can."

A1 Telekom Austria Group, the provider of digital services and communications solutions, said it is accelerating its 5G rollout plans across Central and Eastern Europe.
Besides already supplying 3.8 million Austrians with 5G, the Vienna Stock Exchange-listed company has acquired spectrum in Slovenia for €42.4 million and has been awarded the main 5G licence in Bulgaria in the 3.6 GHz spectrum for €2.4 million.
While explaining the strategic moves in CEE, Alejandro Plater, COO of A1 Telekom Austria Group, said: “The potential of digital technologies for sustainable positive future opportunities continues to be the focus of the A1 Telekom Austria Group’s corporate strategy. The enormous importance of system-critical digital infrastructure such as that of the A1 Telekom Austria Group for economic and social development has not only been known since the COVID-19 crisis. All the more reason for us to push ahead with our 5G rollout plans, to guarantee future-proof top-class network infrastructure.”
Since the beginning of the year alone, A1 has put around 1,000 new 5G sites into operation, bringing ultra-fast mobile broadband to both major cities and rural regions. Combined with Austria's largest fiber network, which already extends over more than 61,000 kilometers, the A1 "5Giganet" combines the best broadband technologies.
Meanwhile, A1 Slovenia has acquired spectrum in several bands: 2x10 MHz in 700 MHz, 1x40 MHz in 1.4 GHz, 2x15 MHz in 2.1 GHz, 1x100 MHz in 3.6 GHz, and 1x400 MHz in 26 GHz for EUR 42.4 million. The frequencies are valid for 15 years. The A1 Telekom Austria Group will finance the spectrum acquisition from current cash flow.
“The rollout and further development of the powerful A1 network will support the digitalization of Slovenian society, which will benefit in the future from exciting new services such as autonomous driving, e-health, cloud gaming and the development towards Industry 4.0," said Dejan Turk, CEO Cluster Serbia & Slovenia.
In the meantime, A1 Bulgaria has been awarded the main 5G license in the 3.6 GHz spectrum in a tender organized by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC). The company will pay 2.4 million as an initial investment for the spectrum acquisition.

LG Electronics had one of the most innovative approaches to integrating the wired home network at CES 2010.
Their approach is to help you control all of your multimedia and your peripherals such as your Blu Ray player and XBOX. In this demonstration, it's clear that the desire to shift bandwidth hungry content around the house is enabled by the wired home network. G.hn will help a accelerate that shift.

My precious girl, the light of my life. She Las deep in thought about going for a ride.
This is my sweet Gizzy~duck this picture was taken a few months before he passed away 2.5 yrs ago.
He had such a sad hard life Before We rescued him weather just a couple days bringing him home he learned what being a little (4.5lbs) Yorkie is really all about
All of the stress he had gone though prior to starting his new life had weakened his heart I still have his little collar on my steering wheel
Those eyes and the gorgeous big ears. Yorkies have such soulful eyes. A stunning little creature.

Many students heading to Alden Library on Nov. 4 won’t be in search of research articles and quiet study spaces. Instead, they’ll take their dads and look for mini-golf clubs in order to participate in the annual Alden Open.
During Dads Weekend, the University Libraries hosts nine-hole and 18-hole games of mini golf, spanning three floors of Alden Library and including one hole built on the stairway.
“I remember beating her [last year],” said Udi Kapen (pictured) who visited his daughter, Kayla, during Dads Weekend 2016. “I’ve come to two years’ worth of Dads Weekends and they’re always chock full of activities and very much fun.”
While each year features new designs for the course, the 2017 event, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be the first time outside student designers—who will create two of the holes— have become a part of the tradition, said Barbara Fiocchi, coordinator of Libraries events and community outreach and engagement. Freshmen engineering students from two learning communities will each submit a hole for the event.
Golfers, who can pay $5 to play nine holes and $10 to play 18, will also have the opportunity to vote on which living community design they like best, Fiocchi added. Each year, more than 200 golfers, both families and community members, work their way through the course on multiple floors. To play, students or families can register here or purchase tickets at the door.
Although the games are only played for bragging rights, traversing through the Library gives students a creative way to show their families a part of their University life, Fiocchi said.
“They are able to show them the resources that they use, where they sit or the computers they use,” she said. “In the past, we have had alumni student workers in the Library come through, and they are always just delighted to be back in the Library…so that is always fun.”
The event, also open to community members, will include other tabletop games and light refreshments for all Library visitors.
“My take on it has been that it is a really silly, absurd thing, to play golf in the Library, and people love it,” Fiocchi said.
Funds from admissions and University and business sponsors will go toward the annual spring Student Research and Creative Activity Expo. Annually, the Libraries presents awards for outstanding work to undergraduate and graduate presenters. The expo is visited by more than 2,000 people and includes more than 100 judges.

[SJV3] Sneak a peek at Strange Journey Volume Three via the CL Soundcloud account now -- stream "In The City" featuring Zumbi of Zion I. Produced by Kno, this melancholy look at city life features Deacon The Villain trading verses with the Zion I frontman over a bed of Kno's patented ethereal vocal samples and bouncy drums.
Make sure you "Follow" the CL account, too! -https://soundcloud.com/cunninlynguists
The first ever truly crowd-sourced record now has an official release date as well. Not happy simply "crowd-funding" a release via Kickstarter like so many other artists, Deacon The Villain, Natti & Kno asked their fans for no money -- instead they spent a year interacting with fans via social media & allowing them to vote on guest artists, suggest song concepts, letting them peek in on studio sessions & make decisions on album artwork. CL will begin taking pre-orders on March 24th via their website with an official release date of April 1st.
Strange Journey Volume Three will be released digitally, on CD & double vinyl worldwide via APOS Music in conjunction with Bad Taste Records and will feature fan-selected artists such as Murs, Del The Funky Homosapien, Aesop Rock, Grieves, Tonedeff and more.
In support of the release, CL will be embarking on a series of tours spanning the globe starting on April 4th with Strange Universe West Coast Tour featuring J-Live, Sadistik & Nemo Achida in conjunction with Stok Usa & Ineffable Music Group.

The federal government reports the nation’s production of renewable diesel fuel surpassed biodiesel production for the first time since 2011.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration, in its January 2023 Petroleum Supply Monthly stated that renewable diesel production in November 2022 averaged 113,000 barrels per day (b/d), a 38,000 b/d (51%) increase from November 2021 and a 74,000 b/d (191%) increase from November 2020.
The EIA forecast renewable diesel production to continue to grow and remain higher than biodiesel production, which we forecast to decrease.
Renewable diesel is chemically equivalent to petroleum diesel but is produced using fats, oils, or greases rather than petroleum. Traditional diesel trucks can consume renewable diesel on its own or blended with petroleum diesel or biodiesel. Renewable diesel can also be transported through the same pipelines as petroleum diesel.
Biodiesel is produced with the same feedstocks as renewable diesel but is typically blended with petroleum diesel at concentrations of 20% or less for vehicle consumption. Biodiesel and renewable diesel are used to comply with the biomass-based diesel renewable volume obligations in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They also supply 95% or more of the RFS requirement for non-cellulosic advanced biofuels.
What’s behind the growth of renewable diesel production?
Renewable diesel has been increasingly used to meet California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program, and the RFS. It will also help meet the requirements of Washington State’s Clean Fuels Program, which launched on January 1, 2023. In addition to these government programs, biomass-based diesel tax credits, which the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 extended through 2024, have made production of renewable diesel more economical.
These programs have provided incentive to build new renewable diesel plants, including Diamond Green Diesel’s plant in Port Arthur, Texas, and several plants at sites of former petroleum refineries, such as Marathon Petroleum’s Dickinson, North Dakota refinery; Phillips 66’s Rodeo, California refinery; and HF Sinclair’s Cheyenne, Wyoming refinery.
The EIA in its February Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), forecast that renewable diesel production will continue growing (Figure 2) as production capacity increases. The agency estimates that renewable diesel production in 2022 averaged 97,000 b/d, an increase of 41,000 b/d (73%) from 2021.
It also forecast that renewable diesel production will average 148,000 b/d in 2023, an increase of 50,000 b/d (52%) from 2022, and 211,000 b/d in 2024, an increase of 63,000 (42%) from the forecast for 2023. The forecast shows renewable diesel production reaching 177,000 b/d at the end of 2023 and 252,000 b/d at the end of 2024.
Despite this growth, the EIA forecast U.S. renewable diesel production to remain well below the 357,000 b/d of planned production capacity shown for 2024 in the February 2 Today in Energy article for three reasons:
- The significant ramp-up in production capacity will likely increase feedstock prices, which would make renewable diesel production less profitable and could decrease plant utilization or result in some canceled planned capacity.
- Some planned capacity may come online later than planned.
- New plants will take several months before producing at full capacity.
Because biodiesel producers compete for the same constrained feedstocks as renewable diesel producers, the EIA said it expects U.S. biodiesel production to decrease as renewable diesel production increases (Figure 3). Biodiesel production generates fewer RIN credits per gallon than renewable diesel, and biodiesel is primarily transported by rail and truck, which are more expensive than pipeline transportation.
