Up to 6,000 homes in UK are now receiving electricity from the first producing wind turbine on Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm. When fully operational later in 2017 the offshore wind farm will provide electricity to over 400,000 homes.
After a successful installation of the first wind turbine in early January, operator Statoil and partners Masdar and Statkraft were able to set the first turbine in production on the 7 February delivering electricity to UK National Grid.
“This is a significant milestone for one of the largest offshore wind farms in Europe. I am particularly satisfied with the on time deliveries and the HSE performance so far,” says Margareth Øvrum, Statoil’s executive vice president for Technology, Projects and Drilling.
67 foundations were installed on the Dudgeon Bank last year, along with the cables and the offshore substation that collects the power generated by the wind turbines.
This work involved as much as 2,000 vessel days and almost the same number is anticipated this year for the installation of turbines.
The Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm site is located 32 km offshore Norfolk, UK and, and is 20 km east of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, where Statoil currently holds a 40% share. The Dudgeon Offshore Wind farm consists of 67 six-megawatt wind turbine generators with a total installed capacity of 402 MW producing 1.73 TWh/year – equivalent to the consumption of more than 400,000 UK households.
The GBP 1.5 billion Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm project is part of Statoil’s strategy is to gradually complement the oil and gas portfolio with profitable renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions.
“Building a profitable renewable portfolio on the foundation of 40 years of oil and gas experience is a competitive advantage. We can leverage on our marine operations competence, our experience with complex projects and our supply chain. A lot of work remains, but seeing the first Dudgeon turbine producing electricity is very satisfying,” says Stephen Bull, Statoil’s senior vice president for offshore wind.
The installation of the remaining 66 wind turbine generators is expected to be completed by Q4/2017, when the wind farm will be fully operational.
Statoil is a major investor in the UK energy sector, and pursues a broad range of activities relating to energy production and sales in Britain, including the Mariner oil development offshore Aberdeen, the largest investment on the UK continental shelf in a decade. Statoil is a leading supplier of natural gas to UK providing more than 20 percent of the total gas demand.
Together with our partners we are developing an offshore wind portfolio with the capacity of providing over 1 million homes in Europe with renewable energy.
Statoil currently holds a 40% share in the Sheringham Shoal wind farm located offshore Norfolk, UK, which has been in production since 2012. The Hywind Scotland pilot park offshore Peterhead, Scotland, the world’s first floating wind farm, will come in production in late 2017.
In 2016 Statoil acquired 50% of the Arkona offshore wind farm in Germany, which will come in production in 2019. Statoil was also declared the provisional winner of the U.S. government’s wind lease sale offshore New York at the end of 2016.

It was absolutely luscious! I had a 4-5 lb. roast, rolled and tied. Not sure anymore what cut it was but I had moderate expectations and thought I may as well try to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear. It worked! The timing for medium-rare was perfect, the meat nearly as tender as prime rib, and the crust set this apart from any prime rib I've ever made before. Everyone was scooping up the crumbs that had fallen into the baking pan....no shame!

This is definitely a spectacular centerpiece for a grand occasion.
Delicious prime rib roast and a lovely presentation as well. I've never made a prime rib with a bread crumb crust -- it imparted such a wonderful flavor to the meat. Served our prime rib with a horseradish/sour cream dipping sauce and a delicious salad. Will definitely use this recipe again for my next prime rib roast. Made for Everyday is a Holiday, December, 2013.
I've used this recipe for the last 10 years, and it always gets rave reviews. Thanks for posting it because I lost a lot of my recipes when a teen killed my old computer.
Delicious garlicky enhancement to beef! Okay, I gave up trying to find a standing rib roast a.k.a. prime rib roast. I wound up using a top of the round eye roast. It was delicious in flavor but that cut isn't as tender as the other roast. Made for Photo Tag 2009.

You bad bad boy Dbanj, Enjoy the club banger. Sekpe Sekpe figure 8. Loves it.
The once-powerful uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has been executed for a string of alleged crimes. State news agency KCNA announced his death early on Friday, branding the once-powerful Jang Song-Thaek a "traitor". Jang was executed on Thursday shortly after a special military trial, the agency reported, after committing such a "hideous crime as attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state".
Paul Walker's remains were released on Monday, E! News can confirm. The actor was transported from the Los Angeles County coroner's office to a local mortuary, Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, per his family's request. The coroner determined both Walker and Roger Rodas' cause of death on Dec. 4 after conducting autopsies on both men.
I wonder if this act was part of the show or he just could not help expressing himself.
Gov. Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State on Thursday signed a law which prescribed 14 years’ imprisonment, without option of fine, for those found guilty of homosexuality, lesbianism and sexual harassment. The State House of Assembly recently amended Sections 284 and 285 of Penal Code Law, Cap. 96, Laws of Katsina State, 1991, to provide for stiffer punishment for those found engaged in the illegal acts.The law states:

Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs have separated after 10 years of marriage. The pair has one son, Walker, 4.

It has been three years since the notorious serial killer known as "The Bone Collector" terrified the citizens of New York City. But when an elaborate murder signals that he might be back, it brings former detective and forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme out of retirement and onto the case.
Rhyme's connection to the killer is personal, as he was previously paralyzed by one of his traps. Teaming up with an intuitive young officer with a gift for profiling, the unlikely duo begin a deadly game of cat and mouse with the brilliant psychopath.
This was a little rough at the first but they were starting to find their groove.
With all the dreck out there, this was a nice break.
Why bother to get to get invested in a new character if your just gonna cancel it.?
Another thing that bothered me was the 'technology'.. its a writing shortcut/cheat that they leaned on to resolve problems telling the story that I think, in fact, sort of ruined it. It would have opened opportunities to develop the relationships and tension, provide room for the antagonist to succeed because of mistakes and oversights, etc...
The cast has does things elsewhere so I have to believe this is one of those shows where direction, writing and the studio had more to do with its demise.

At this season of the year when pumpkins are plentiful for decorating, cooking and baking, I'd like to share a wonderful analogy about pumpkins and Christians.
A woman was asked by a coworker, "What's it like to be a Christian?"
The coworker replied, "It's like being a pumpkin. God picks you up from the patch, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He scoops out all the yucky stuff from your life, removing seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves a big smile on your face, and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see!"
Recently [October 17th], I visited Kitty's Kozy Kitchen blog, and got a fabulous recipe for Decadent Pumpkin Oatmeal. I amended the recipe somewhat by sprinkling two tablespoons of chopped walnuts on top after cooking, then drizzling a little pure maple syrup and milk over it [instead of ice cream or frozen yogurt]. What a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Try it, you'll love it!
Pumpkin is very nutritious. To read about its virtues go to Nutrition and You.
Here's a pumpkin recipe that I've made a couple of times this fall, that's yummy!
Pumpkin, Chicken and Cranberry Pasta
1 lb. Penne Rigate Pasta [tube shaped] - I use whole wheat pasta
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoo0n chicken bouillion granules
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 [12. oz] can evaporated milk
1 cup milk - divided [2% or whole milk]
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 [15 oz.] can solid pack pumpkin [not pie filling]
2 boneless chicken breasts [about 3 cups]
1 1/2 cup Craisins
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Prepare pasta according to package directions. When done set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in large skillet and saute onions, garlic and fennel seeds until translucent. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips and add to skillet, stir frying until cooked [about 8 minutes]. Set aside.
Mix flour with 1/4 cup milk and stir until smooth. In a large sauce pan combine 3/4 cup milk, evaoprated milk, milk/flour thickening, salt, pepper and chicken bouillon. Whisk over medium heat until slightly thickened. Stir in pumpkin. Add remaining ingredients: pasta, chicken/sauteed onions, and Craisins. Toss lightly until well blended and cook on low just until heated through. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Yield: 6 servings.
[Served with Pumpkin Cream Black Tea and Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread]
[Note: I have made this and served it in individual small pre-baked pumpkins, with a puff pastry top. It makes a lovely presentation.]
My very first blog post on January 24, 2012 featured a recipe for Pumpkin/Turkey Chili. You can see the recipe here.
Now I'm off to check out some other pumpkin recipes for this wonderful time of the year.

Watson & Burton  FamCA 549 (16 July 2015) - Tree, J.
- Category: Family court judgements where the perp is given custody after the child or children disclose sexual abuse
- Created: Saturday, 10 November 2018 21:14
- Written by Alecomm2
In this case, the children repeatedly disclosed sexual abuse by the father including anal abuse. The mother repeatedly disclosed to professionals what the children told her. The psychiatrists all claimed she was delusional and the father was given sole custody. In an offer of Consent Orders, the mother was offered extra time with the children so long as she withdrew allegations of sexual abuse by the father. Yes - it was written into the orders. Wanting to desperately spend more time with her children, she did. But then she was crucified for why she withdrew them - even though it was a condition of extra time.
The family reporter then wrote she couldn’t be trusted not to continue with her beliefs the father sexually abused the children, and the father then got sole custody again with the mother being given extremely limited supervised contact. This case is interesting in that they promised the mother more time if she recanted the allegations, and when she did, they gave her less time and called her a liar.

Britain's minister for Northern Ireland, Brandon Lewis, quit on Thursday, saying he no longer believed the values of honesty, integrity and mutual respect were being upheld by Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government.
Lewis joined around 40 politicians who have quit government positions in the last two days in an effort to force Johnson out of power. Helen Whately, a junior treasury minister, also quit on Thursday.

Question Details:Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.)
1. For the total linear momentum of a system to be conserved, there must be no external forces acting on the system.
2. The total linear momentum of a system may be conserved even when the mechanical energy of the system is not.
3. The velocity of the center of mass of a system changes only when there is a net external force on the system.
4. None of these statements are true.
I thought that the 1 was true because of the law of conservation of momentum and 3 was true because if the total momentum of a system remains constant, then the velocity of the center of mass of the system remains constant, and you need an external force to change momentum.
I also though 2 was false.
However, I am being told this is wrong. Can someone clarify

Hunting Ghislaine is a podcast series by veteran journalist that investigates Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022 for child sex-trafficking and other offences in connection with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The series is billed as a fairy story which happens the wrong way round where the princess becomes the monster and where nothing ends up happily ever after.
Crime+Investigation caught up with John to talk about the joys of podcasting and what he learned about Maxwell, one of the few living people who may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of Jeffrey Epstein and his horrific crimes.
Crime + Investigation: Our viewers will know you as a TV investigative reporter. What led you to get involved in the world of podcasting?
John Sweeney: I've always wanted to do a proper built-investigative podcast with lovely storytelling. There's something about podcasting being a really pure form of storytelling that I find that terribly exciting. It’s been wonderful, really exhilarating, and I've learned a tonne of stuff. I've had to work annoyingly hard, but it’s been great.
Can you give us an overview of Hunting Ghislaine?
It’s a dark fairy tale in reverse where the fairy princess ends up in prison. There are six episodes in total. Episode one of Hunting Ghislaine is called Monsters and, in part, it's a homage to Old Fleet Street. It's about Ghislaine Maxwell but the first episode is about her father, Robert Maxwell [former owner of Mirror Group Newspapers]. Ghislaine was his youngest and best-loved child but there's something strange and dark about this relationship.
What happened in my telling of it is that her father died and then she found a second monster that was rich and powerful, and intelligent and crooked and loved having a hold over people, like her father. But actually, in many ways, far worse than him. The problem for Ghislaine is that she has been in some way, deformed by her father, and that left her unable to properly see who Jeffrey Epstein was. The second episode is called Pimp, and it looks at the evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell is a handmaiden to child abuse. She denies four charges of effectively supplying underage girls for sex with Jeffrey Epstein and two charges related to perjury. She denies all the charges and any wrong doing. Having said that, there’s a tonne of evidence and we look at that in episode two. Episode three is called The Black Book. Epstein had a black book. Most of the Black Book is Ghislaine's and most of the names are of all her friends and contacts, and it's amazing. It's a kind of window into her soul. Also, within it, there are 100 names, under the title massage. So, it is contact's book and it's also something of a spider's web.
Episode four is called Favours and it looks at the allegations that Ghislaine Maxwell - and remember she denies everything - used her powerful friends, as some kind of smoke shield for what was happening behind the scenes.
Episode six is called Tombs and looks at the whole story at how come this beautiful and intelligent woman, ends up being charged with these terrible crimes in a ghastly rat-infested prison on suicide watch in New York.
What can you tell us about Prince Andrew’s relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein?
In 1999, Prince Andrew meets Epstein and during the course of the next couple of years, Andrew invites Ghislaine and Epstein to Balmoral and Sandringham and Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. By the way, Buckingham Palace that's the kind of office. But to get to those three that's a royal flush and Jeffrey Epstein has been to all of those places.
What did you make of ex-President Donald Trump wishing Ghislaine Maxwell ‘well’?
I find that astonishing. I've interviewed people who say, Donald Trump is a New Yorker and was brought up in a certain world in the '50s where you use the language of the mob. That’s a coded message from Donald Trump, you play nicely by me and things might go well for you. Ghislaine's problem is that her trial is in June or July and Trump can't pardon her because she hasn't been convicted of anything. By the way, to be fair, Bill Clinton went on the Lolita Express 26 times [Epstein’s private jet]. Clinton and Trump are hanging about with Epstein and Ghislaine so often, you'd find it weird that they never smelt something rotten. It could be that Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are naive, but I find that unlikely. They're not naive, they've both been Presidents of the United States.
What's your favourite True Crime podcast?
I think my favourite podcast is Tunnel 29 and I would say that East Germany and the Stasi was a true crime scene. I also love The Missing Cryptoqueen and I love West Cork as well.

This post was written by Roger Macfarlane, Comparative Arts & Letters, Humanities Center Fellow
“This book is really based on the Odyssey. All Roy really wants is to return to a clean home and to a faithful wife.” KUER pitched me this pair of sentences out of the blue when I cranked the ignition and the radio fired up. Skepticism flared up around me. A little curiosity was there, as well. I’ve read and heard such claims so many times. I think I know the Odyssey. That quick claim that some new book was “based on it” did not convince prima facie that would actually be connected profitably to Western literature’s first great travel narrative. Anybody can read the Odyssey into just about any quest, I thought. “So, prove it.” As I pulled into traffic the woman on the radio was discussing characters I’d never heard of — somebodies named Roy and Celestial and … — details from some unidentified novel whose title and author I had missed before climbing in the truck. What was about to happen showed me that Humanities is starting to make me more humane, more tolerant — more tolerable! — and, what’s best, maybe a little more Christian.
Adaptation of classical mythology interests me most of all the aspects of a class I teach regularly, Classical Civilization 241 “Greek and Roman Mythology.” In that class, I began about fifteen years ago to focus students’ writing assignments on adaptations of classical mythology that find us just about anywhere we look. Students are assigned to identify a modern usage of a classical myth and analyze it in a careful, short paper. I started assigning these forays into adaptations of myth, because modern reworkings of classical myths can teach us so much. Myths like the Penelope myth are so good for thinking with. And students’ perspectives are so different from my own. They go into different parts of the world that I can scarcely enter myself. I have learned through this ongoing assignment that are lots of way of looking at the world.
“The main story of the Odyssey is short: a man is abroad for many years… blah blah blah… ” So starts Aristotle (Poetics 17). And I trust most everybody already knows the story. But, adaptations of the great Homeric epic tend to take the “main story” into sometimes unexpected new directions. Honda’s Odyssey, for instance, is a mini-van. (Yes, I knew that.) One myth student’s paper, an especially memorable effort, showed me the rich irony of the automaker’s name for that model: Put your family in this car and get ready for anything an angered god might throw in your path; fidelity will secure your precarious homecoming!
More high-brow was another student paper exploring Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain. Yet another student probed Anthony Minghella’s cinematic adaptation (2003) of that same novel.
I didn’t know Enda Walsh’s Penelope (2010) until a student found it for me. It’s a drama by an Irish playwright about four “visibly untoned guys in speedos” at a poolside cookout who try to seduce an apparently single woman; she silently puts them off in anticipation of her husband’s expected return.
I have forgotten whether I found Contempt (Le Mépris, 1963) or whether a student first found it for me. (That sentence, read aloud, sounds very ominous.) The cinemaste Jean-Luc Godard built this compelling film around the Odyssey— a couple’s marriage falters as the husband attempts to rewrite the screenplay for a cinematic adaptation of the great epic. The audience learns reasons to despise Hollywood cinema in Godard’s adaptation of Alberto Moravia’s novel, which itself is a compelling adaptation of Odyssey.
But it was certainly a student who showed me to Ellen McLaughlin’s Penelope (premiered in 2012). The drama is about an ex-husband’s return, a brain-damaged vet from an overseas war, and his wife’s heartwrenching efforts to recognize the man she once loved. My student knew the situation from personal experience, her own husband having returned from a tour of duty a different man. Both Homer’s Odyssey and McLaughlin’s Penelope, she wrote, were giving her the emotional equipment to think through her own situation in Provo in the twenty-first century.
By tasking my students to go explore their world, I have learned much from their insightful reports.
I am engaged by such adaptations of classical mythology. I try to collect them and to analyze them. I try to index them as they are collected in The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts (1993). Indeed, a generous grant from our Humanities Center is helping me learn to do this systematically. I sometimes write about them myself in my Mythmatters blog and pursue ideas to peer-reviewed publication. I especially like working with the Eurydice and Orpheus myth — I’m intrigued by an apparent line running from Ovid to Gluck’s Orfeo to Offenbach’s Orphée aux Enfers to Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire and beyond. Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge!, Alain Resnais’ Vous n’avez encore rien vu, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Sarah Ruh’s Eurydice, Bryan Fuller’s Pushing Daisies, Odafe Atogun’s debut novel Taduno’s Song (2017)… and the prospects of exploring truly countless other compelling Orpheus narratives from recent decades convince me that the final word on the adaptation of the Eurydice myth will never be written.
The papers my students write in ClCv 241 has made my journey through that course an odyssey in its own right. But, by definition, all odysseys have their perilous, unpleasant aspects. And, since Joseph Campbell showed narrators that all heroes are essentially manifestations of the same character, analysis of heroic quests sometimes comes to be unwieldy. Accordingly, my students’ papers often argue for the existence of narrative archetypes in places where I strain to see them. “Really?” Must every “man of sorrows” be regarded as “an Odysseus”? And does every obstructed homecoming necessarily derive from Homer’s epic?
Does it really have the Odyssey in it? Or does the narrative only remind you of Odysseus and Penelope? Does Preston Sturges’ Sullivan’s Travels (1941) really know the Homeric text? Or did the Coen Brothers read the Odyssey into it when they adapted the Sturges film in O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)? Does Le retour de Martin Guerre (1982), which a student met at International Cinema, know Homer’s Penelope? Jon Amiel’s Sommersby (1993) may only know Martin Guerre and may not care one wit about my posing a couple of homeric question about his adaptation. I try to keep an open mind about these things, but I often end up doubting that the artist built that narrative or this one “on the myth” through any conscious method. Just because a beholder’s eye beholds Odysseus or Penelope in a strained relationship, or “a capital-O Odyssey” in a storied voyage, my inner skeptic is not always inclined to agree. Cautionary advisement from Wimsatt & Beardsley on the Intentional Fallacy notwithstanding, I have always wanted the artist to tell me directly whether a given myth was underpinning an apparent allusion in the artwork. I was bent on scrutinizing whether or not some adaptations actually “counted.”
I can abbreviate by glossing over the account of my bottoming out. Quickly: I insist (doggedly, at times) for overt acknowledgement of referenced myth in adaptive narratives; but insightful arguments that justify subjective identification of allusions that I didn’t see are becoming more appealing. I can thank a tolerant colleague for steering me to a happier existence.
Dennis Cutchins told me once that my old position was precarious. Dennis really works where I just dabble. He has analyzed the myriad Frankenstein adaptations proliferating in our cultural landscape, and he pulled me up short one day. You’ll be setting yourself up as the mean old guy who passes judgment on what does and what doesn’t count. You’ll be the troll who keeps the bridge. And for a long time I thought I welcomed that arbiter’s role. But Dennis, it has turned out, was right. He was coaxing me toward a position that encourages patient listening to the analysis of others. And I’ve learned something important.
Prophetic instruction advises (e.g. Alma 7:12) that assuming another person’s attitude can lead one to welcome understanding. The Christian is inclined to succor others according to the others’ points of view. More generous acceptance of arguments for finding mythological allusions in sundry narratives has made me a better reader. And I have come to see that there are interesting arguments for receptions of classical mythology that are engaging in their own right. I learn that there are better ways to look at the world.
This insight has come as I’ve grown up in the Humanities. Our discipline is a place where we can learn to see the world through another’s eyes. It is a place where we may learn politely to join conversations already underway. Humanities is a place where I am invited to become more tolerant. Whether or not I become such depends upon me.
Tayari Jones is an accomplished American novelist. Her newest book is called An American Marriage (Algonquin Books, 2018). Its protagonists, I understand (not having read the novel myself), are a couple whose newlywed life is wrecked by his wrongful imprisonment. His uncertain return is problematized in a racially unjust penal system but also in her not unnatural attraction to an available lover at home. All this, I gather, is told in an epistolary narrative that discloses much about a side of real American culture I will likely never know first-hand. Tayari Jones herself was discussing this narrative recently on the radio. I had never heard her voice nor read a single word she has written. When I climbed in my truck and turned the key, she was in the middle of telling her interviewer that her novel about Celestial and Roy was built upon Homer’s Odyssey. Case closed. The artist herself, it turned out, was telling me over the radio that this narrative into an unfamiliar realm is going to be understandable as An Odyssey. Perhaps it’s time for me to open the book and learn something new.
