Borman Roadside Stand – 1972
One of those stands was the one run by the Borman family, which is featured in the photos above, which appeared in the Journal back on August 29, 1972 – fifty years ago. Mrs. Mary Borman is shown in the photos weighing some produce for a customer.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for Paul Ryan, the Republican representative for Wisconsin's first congressional district.
On August 11th, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney selected Ryan as his running mate in the upcoming election. Since accepting that role, Ryan has been on the campaign trail with Romney, visiting the five battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Ohio in as many days.
At each stop on the trail, Romney and Ryan evoked an emotional response from their audience with what has become the bread and butter of the GOP-blaming President Obama on pretty much everything while promising jobs and economic growth if they take office.
Right-wing pundits were quick to declare Romney's selection of Ryan as running mate and presumptive Vice President a "game-changer", one that would turn the GOP's beleaguered hopes of putting a candidate in the White House around.
I'm not so sure.
If you know of Rep. Ryan at all, it's probably for his "tough" stance on Medicare reform. In 2008, he introduced a budget to Congress that sought to cut federal spending on the Medicare system, with the goal of eventually phasing it out completely. It wasn't adopted, so he reintroduced a new version of the same budget in 2009.
No one in Congress seemed to like that budget either, so he drafted a new one in 2010 that called for the privatization of Medicare. It still got rejected.
Ryan was not to be deterred, however. He proposed yet another budget plan this year, which has been accepted by the House of Representatives. He must've built the plan out of bricks instead of straw or sticks this time.
Needless to say, Ryan's position on Medicare isn't popular with a prospective slice of the Republican voting demographic-the baby-boomer generation.
To avoid alienating those boomers who want to keep the benefits they feel they're entitled to, Romney has been forced to distance himself from his running mate's many budget plans.
Recent attack ads aired by the Romney campaign in key states accuse President Obama of cutting federal funding to Medicare, which is a complete lie. If elected, Romney has promised not to do the same.
In fact, both Romney and Ryan have said that they would save Medicare by drastically increasing the amount of federal funding available to the program.
Wait a minute...Ryan-the guy who, for the past four years, wanted nothing more than to completely scrap Medicare-now decides he wants to pump money that our government doesn't have back into the same program?
Something isn't adding up here.
Why would Romney nominate Ryan as his running mate when it seems as if they have two differing opinions on how to fix the Medicare program and our country's budget? Why would Ryan accept, for that matter?
I think telling the truth would be a game-changer for Romney and his running mate at this point. Heck, even just sticking to previously-held political convictions would be a nice change of pace.
If only we could be so lucky.

Because we just can't stop.
Everyone loves macaroni and cheese. Creamy, cheesy, crowd-pleasing comfort food in a bowl. But Southerners have a different relationship with mac and cheese. We’ll whip it up for weeknight dinners, pack it up for the weekend tailgates, and serve it as a side on the holidays. Every. Single. Holiday. From Easter Sunday lunch to Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll find this mouthwatering dish on our tables. Over the years, we’ve tried so many versions, and we’ve loved them all. We experimented with different cheeses, from cheddar, monteray jack, gruyere, and pimiento. We’ve tried mixing it up with all sorts of creative add-ins: sweet peas and prosciutto, ham and broccoli, cooked shrimp, chicken, and even spicy sausage. Despite all of the unique and colorful upgrades, we always fall back on the classic. A basic, made-from-scratch macaroni and cheese dish that we count on for ordinary weeknights as well as holiday spectaculars.
We will, however, always give a macaroni dish a shot at winning us over. (Who turns down any dish that has "mac and cheese" in the ingredient list?) Which is exactly what we’ve rounded up here. How many ways can we enjoy this delicious noodle-y dish? Take a look.

The residual heat from a weed wacker, which was laid down on a patch of dry grass, sparked a vegetation fire in the 3900 block of Carmichael Drive near Fletcher Drive in La Mesa on Sunday afternoon, reported.
In total, four engine companies responded, two of which were from La Mesa Fire Department as part of an automatic mutual aid agreement.
The fire, which started a little before 1:30 p.m. burned one half-acre and threatened four homes, before being completely contained by firefighters in about 15 minutes.
According to the district, a property owner was clearing his land of weeds, using a weed wacker. He told investigators he set the machine down to change the nylon string. Not realizing how hot the engine of the weed wacker was, he set it down on top of dry grass. The property owner said the fire took off so fast he was unable to put it out. The land owner was treated for smoke inhalation on the scene. He was not transported.

Graduate course to prepare PhD students to understand how to conduct design research.
Why it is worth understanding design processes (the argument for “research in design”)?
Design spaces: design process as exploring a multi-dimensional space, bounded by constraints, to optimize an objective function; “classical” engineering model of design, Pareto-optimality, design when you don’t know a-priori the objective function; sparse spaces, adding dimensions to the design space during designing. Design-as-search.
Design decisions are coupled. Identifying relationships between design decisions (e.g., adjacency matrix to represent dependencies); clustering to identify closely-coupled decisions.
Dealing with other designers: You are not alone. Hierarchies of control in design: design as a social negotiated act over time. Designers control different levels of a design; relationships among the levels; “dominance” and capacity testing.
Design for change: What you design today may be around in ten, twenty, thirty years. How to design for evolutionary lifecycle change?
Pattern Language – from Alexander to the Gang of Four — how to turn observed relationships between design and effect into a structured representation that can be applied in future designs. Representing knowledge about a specific design domain.
Participatory design – involving end-users and other stakeholders in design processes.
End-user designing: recognizing that end-users want and need to extend designs – seeing end users as designers too (relates to “hierarchies of control”); how to provide end-users with simple and powerful means to work within systems to extend them.
Problem-seeking; identifying the problem is part of design: “system-analysis”; eliciting requirements; setting specifications.
Design rationale; accounting for design decisions; structuring representations of design alternatives, from IBIS to hypertext; “design knowledge management”: design as argument.
Representations for designs: Representations for quickly exploring and comparing alternative designs. Sketching and prototyping during early design;
class participation in discussion.

The Trump Administration is no stranger to controversy. Although Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump team over possible collusion with the Russians in their efforts to interfere in the 2016 election is the most well known of the Trump Administration scandals, there are many more. Now, there is another one to add to the list.
Current EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is ridiculously unqualified for his position, having sued the very agency he’s now leading multiple times in his former job as Oklahoma State Attorney General. He’s a pro-big business climate change-denier — and yet here we are, with him heading the government agency that’s supposed to be protecting the nation’s environment.
Earlier this fall, Pruitt appeared in a promotional video produced by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, urging opposition to the Obama-era Clean Water Rule.
Pruitt’s appearance in that video is an apparent violation of the law, and Oregon’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio has now revealed that the Government Accountability Office has agreed to pursue an investigation into the matter, at his urging.
In the video, Pruitt says that he is “trying to fix the challenges from the 2015 rule, where the Obama administration reimagined their authority under the Clean Water Act and defined a Water of the United States as being a puddle, a dry creek bed and ephemeral drainage ditches across this country.” The rule expanded the government’s authority to regulate what goes into our nation’s water supply — and the man who is supposed to be in charge of protecting the nation’s environment thinks that is a bad thing.
In the video, Pruitt urges farmers and ranchers to file public comments with the government in favor of his proposed changes to the law.
Besides the fact that Pruitt is prioritizing big business over the health and safety of the population here yet again, there’s a big problem — federal law prohibits Pruitt from using funds appropriated to his agency for “lobbying and publicity or propaganda purposes.” That’s exactly what he did by appearing in this video.
In that light, the GAO states that they will be picking up the issue of his appearance in the video “shortly,” as you can see for yourself in the letter below.
The GAO cited the Obama era-EPA for promotional activities associated with the institution of the rule Pruitt opposes; this time around, as last time, the EPA insists it did no wrong, framing the promotional video as nothing more than a media appearance.
Other Trump Administration officials have committed similar apparent crimes in the past; Sarah Huckabee Sanders, for instance, used her official Twitter at one point to promote her boss’ presidential campaign.
It’s an oddity in of itself for Trump to be keeping his 2020 campaign such a priority at this point in his administration, but that’s somewhat of a different story.
This issue is far from the first time that Pruitt himself has come under scrutiny. Like other Trump Administration officials, including the president, he has been working while in office to dismantle the accomplishments of previous administration, with little seeming regard for anything other than scoring political points.
For example, he refused to institute a ban on the dangerous pesticide chlorpyrifos, a chemical that causes health problems in children.
Pruitt’s refusal to institute that ban is a part of a pattern in the Trump Administration in which officials prioritize the concerns of corporations above the concerns of working class Americans.
Trump, as seen through the actions of his administration, is the champion of two kinds of people — belligerent racists and the wealthy.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin has won the 2020-21 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
Hockey Hall of Famer Ron Francis, a three-time Lady Byng Trophy winner who served as Carolina's director of hockey operations when the 'Canes drafted Slavin in 2012, presented the award to the defenseman:
Per NHL.com, the Lady Byng Trophy is given "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability." The Professional Hockey Writers Association chooses the winner.
Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Slavin is the fourth-ever defenseman to win the award. The other finalists were Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews and Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon.
Hurricanes beat writer Sara Civian of The Athletic placed Slavin first on her Lady Byng ballot, calling the honor "well-deserved":
NHL reporter Frank Seravalli also reported these remarkable Slavin statistics:
The entire voting result sheet can be found here, via ESPN's Greg Wyshynski:
Slavin finished second on the team with a plus-22 mark. The Hurricanes allowed the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL and reached the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The US southern region is currently experiencing the lowest unemployment rate in the country of 6.9%.
Several southern states, including Georgia and Florida in particular, were the first to reopen parts of their economies, while trade lockdowns were in many parts of the country to curb the spread of coronovirus.
“The virus came to us after it left for California, the West Coast and New York. And so we got to learn a few things about how we can and do conduct our economics with the virus,” the BOT Sunday In CBS ‘”Face the Nation”.
He said that it has proved very useful.
The BOT is said to have expressed concern about the region’s economic recovery trajectory.
“In some areas, the economy is recovering and rebounding in a very strong way,” he said. Hotels, restaurants and small businesses “especially in minority and low-income communities,” he said “are looking at more difficult situations.”
“The segments where we’re not seeing that recovery, I’m really concerned with that as we move forward.”
Bostic, who is the first black leader of a regional Fed, has been elected as Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, either as President of the Federal Reserve or as Treasury Secretary if he wins the election.

Hands on with The Last Tinker
The Last Tinker: City of Color is a very interesting third-person adventure game currently in development at Mimimi Productions, a German independent developer (and they spell ‘colour’ in US English, eh? -Ed). The game features some interesting characters, a vivid colour palette and some delightfully 'handmade' looking aesthetics. It is obviously aimed at the younger generation, but there is are definitely aspects that spark memories of some of the games I grew up with, despite being an old man at this point (the correct term is 'infirm' - Ed).
The first thought I had when the game launched and I finally got to play around with it was: “Wow, this reminds me of Crash Bandicoot,” but more so aesthetically than gameplay-wise. Philosophically, it's more reminiscent of Little Big Planet, just without all the user-generated content. Despite its obvious spiritual influences, however, the game manages to create an experience that's wholly its own. That is, in the few levels we got try our hands at.
Monkeys don’t float
The story takes place in a world made up of cardboard, paint and glue, which is where the game's spiritual connection with LBP comes along. What made me connect it with my old friend Crash is the way the game instilled within me a delightful nostalgic tinge. Perhaps it was the tropical setting and the bright colours, but whatever it was, I was suddenly sitting on the floor in front of my parents' 24” tube holding a PlayStation controller. Figuratively, of course. However, the game is not ready yet and as such, a few things were a bit rough around the edges, such as controller support, but as the game will feature full support upon release, that is something that no one should worry about.
The game's story is centred around a multicoloured boy named Koru who grew up in the slums of Color City, a place that is divided into colour sectors with a marketplace connecting them, representing one of the few places in the city where the different colours and the creatures who represent them interact. You soon discover that each colour represents certain personality traits, which will come into play later in the game. As Koru, you'll have to run, jump, fight, smash and slide your way though beautiful landscapes as you solve puzzles, discover hidden treasures and help your divided community heal. Just don't try to swim. Monkey boys can't swim. They don't even float. Look it up.
Potential for an Instant Hit
Even at this state in its development, the game looks very thought through and, despite its crude looking visuals, the fact that it is supposed to be a handmade world makes the overall aesthetic quality far outweigh any concerns about superficialities like poly count or number of animations. The dialogue all takes place on painted cardboard cut-outs that appear above the characters' heads as they mumble something indecipherable, presumably in their own language. As each and every character is an animal, this does not take anything away from the game.
All in all, the game is an indie game developed by a small studio and budget concerns must have played a role, but as with so many other things, it's not what or how much you have, it's about how well you use it. This game creatively and imaginatively explains away any criticism I could have made regarding its visual finesse and lack of production values in the audio department. At its current state, the game has the potential to be an instant hit with the younger generation and I look forward to seeing the end product upon release.

Earlier on this week, the Washington article released a fascinating bit profiling the Lac Vieux wasteland strap of pond Superior Chippewa Indians, a smallish indigenous American group that ostensibly plummeted into the payday loans business in a quest for much-needed budget for tribal authorities. But what this content fails to discuss is some apparently “tribal” pay check lenders commonly genuinely operated by—or for the advantage of—an real group.
Indigenous United states tribes are autonomous places along with some conditions are protected from burden under state law. It’s the vow of a Wild western free of administration legislation and away from the reach on the civil justice technique having attracted financial institutions on the “tribal sovereign” model.
An increasing number of privately-controlled employers become affiliating themselves with people in an attempt to take advantage of the native tribes’ autonomous immunity from condition law—a trend that threatens the rights of both tribes and clientele. General public Justice was presenting debtors victimized by unlawful payday advance loan and dealing to expose these “rent-a-tribe” agreements and make certain that lenders can be used responsible when they bust the law.
Just how do you determine the difference between the best tribal sales and a personal bank pretending for tribal?
This challenge calls for a judge to consider (among any other thing) whether or not the tribe is truly the important monetary recipient for the providing enterprise and if perhaps the tribe controls business, and ponder whether expanding the tribe’s resistance to your company would further the policy objectives of tribal sovereignty. If a small business is really an arm with the group, consequently, since the blog link write-up says, “state laws and regulations don’t next, apply.” To generate this determination, we feel a court must looks behind the corporate papers the lender (and its particular solicitors) drew upwards, and concentrate from the knowledge on a lawn. The court in Felts v. Paycheck Today et al., a class activity impending in brand new Mexico, decided, and also now we have become collecting data therefore.
Probably one of the most critical factors surfaces evaluate would be the monetary romance within group in addition to the businesses. According to research by the report, profits through the palace Payday financing venture make up “42 %” of this Chippewa band’s annual spending budget and investment medical care and studies business.
However in the rent-a-tribe product, the tribe may receive at the most a token amount of the loaning revenues—even as low as one percent—while the majority of the credit revenue are funneled off to wealthy non-Indians that make use of the cash to finance their own individual interests.
An investigation by iWatch News revealed that Scott Tucker—the non-Indian Kansas businessman at the center of two of our cases—has amassed a fortune from the payday loan business, using his money to purchase Learjets and opulent properties and finance his private race car company. At the same time, people in the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma—which written down generally seems to “own” the financing companies—struggle with ongoing impoverishment. Given these issues, it’s tough to think about just how a court ruling expanding the tribe’s immunity to the payday lending businesses would help the group.
Harlan’s document also suggests that Castle Payday developed jobs for most tribal members. In the rent-a-tribe schemes, it’s not yet determined that any tribal people become employed—most or all of the tasks are thought to transpire really beyond the bookings’ boundaries, on land owned by (you suspected it) non-Indian entrepreneurs. We believe that as well as other research will show that the accused in Felts is not at all genuinely an arm for the tribe and for that reason must adhere to state guiidelines.
In addition to the Ca superior Court is positioned to consider a payday tribal immunity circumstances, maybe eventually in 2010.
Meanwhile, as they courts go for about to choose whether payday financial institutions can make use of the tribal loaning product in order to prevent county legislation, additional surfaces include evaluating payday creditors’ efforts to work with tribal arbitration to insulate on their own from the the courtroom process completely. Lots of payday lenders posses hit on so-called “tribal settlement” so as to hinder creating evaluator evaluate their particular business structure or perhaps the insanely higher costs the two cost more exposed clientele. Just recently, one national appeals legal known as process “a sham from stem to stern,” but various other surfaces need enabled lenders to push circumstances frustrating his or her ways into this technique.
Separate from tribal immunity and tribal settlement problems increased over these legal actions, discover ethical and policy reasons to question the advantage of even a real tribal pay check financing companies. As Harlan’s article highlights, “Native Us americans have-been associated with the teams many directed by usurious personal loans.” Genuine, if a tribe enters loaning itself (not offering as a front for a person else’s business), at minimum many of the sales will flow to folks that are economically disadvantaged compared to to profit the main percentage. But you should be questioning of exalting predatory credit since the savior with the disadvantaged inadequate. Paycheck financing doesn’t become much less harmful even if it’s accomplished by a tribe. Plus the aftereffects of these brief finance on low-income populations—particularly areas of color—aren’t any little devastating.

Celebrating a Fabled Conductor
BY JAY NORDLINGER [NY Sun, 18 January 2007]
Tuesday night's concert in Avery Fisher Hall had a headline: "A Tribute to Arturo Toscanini." It also had a description: "A Joint Gala Benefit Concert by the Symphonica Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic." Toscanini, perhaps the most fabled conductor of the 20th century, died on January 16, 1957 — and this event was held 50 years later, to the day. It was a most satisfying evening, too.


Residential buildings are those in which more than 90% of the energy reference area is used as living space (alternatively, the "cadastre vertical" of the "règlement ministériel du 21/01/2010 Mémorial A n°9" can be used). The ratio of living space to non-residential space is thus decisive for the classification of the building as residential or non-residential.
The energy pass is part of every building application at
The energy pass is also mandatory for substantial renovations that do not require building permission.
A few exceptions are exempt from the Grand Ducal Regulation and thus also from the energy pass obligation:
Can the owners in an apartment building refuse to contribute to the costs of the energy pass?
No, because the energy pass is always issued for the entire building, both for single-family houses and apartment buildings. The energy pass must be commissioned by the builder or developer, the current owner or the owners' association, and the latter must also bear the production costs. Furthermore, the original certificate must be handed over to the new owner in the event of a change of ownership. When changing tenants, a (certified) copy of the energy passport must be presented.
If an energy pass is required, all owners must contribute to the costs. Refusal can have civil and criminal consequences.

Hurricane Camille Photographs (2017.16)
This collection is made up of 144 color 3x5 photographs taken to document the damage done by Hurricane Camille along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The photographs were taken over August 18 thru the 20, 1969 by William T. Randall. The photographs depict damage along the Mississippi coast, but are focused in Jackson County. Collection was originally stored in a binder, and at one point cataloged in the ILS and on the shelf. Due to unknown materials in the plastic holders, the photographs were removed from their original housing and rehoused in a size appropriate box with polyester sleeves. The photos were numbered in the order the donor had them in the original housing.
Ralph Bandy Letters (2017.8)
This collection contains 200 letters to and from Ralph Bandy of Gautier, Mississippi. The letters range in date from the start of Bandy's career in the Navy Reserves during World War II, 1944, and end after Bandy has returned home and is living on his own land, 1955. Besides Bandy, letters were written by his parents, step parents, sister, and friends. This collection is particularly interesting as it not only gives a first-hand account of Bandy's life in the military, but also a look into the home life of people during the WWII. Bandy's family consisted of many traveling carnival workers, and shows many of the hardships found on the home front.
Rex A Moore Photographs (2017.10)
Patrons are advised that this collection contains materials that depict segregation and racism.
This collection is comprised of 191 black and white, 8x10 photographs. Information donated with the collection states that the photographs depict the 50th anniversary celebrations of the International Paper Moss Point Mill, in Moss Point, Mississippi. A date of June 1948 gives a general time frame of the celebration. Due to segregation at the time and context clues from the photos, it is assumed that the celebration lasted for at least a few days as there are separate tours of the facilities for the white and black communities. Including separate picnics as well. Many photographs have duplicates associated with them in this collection. Photographs have photographer information stamped on the back and many have tag lines attached to the front giving a description of the image.

Europe is hedging its bets on clean hydrogen to achieve climate neutrality. Will it work?
As the European Union gets to work on climate ambitions that aim to encourage businesses and consumers to choose greener options, the bloc and the energy industry are hedging their bets on hydrogen.
But could clean hydrogen be the answer to achieving climate neutrality?
Clean hydrogen, or green hydrogen, is made without fossil fuels and uses electricity from renewable energy technologies. But it is also the most expensive way to produce gas and the cost is a barrier.
Currently, the most widely used means of producing gas is what is called “gray hydrogen”, but it is one of the most polluting methods. It operates using natural gas by steam methane reforming but the emissions are not captured.
Clean hydrogen will be essential to help decarbonize sectors such as industry, heavy transport and seasonal storage, according to a report from Hydrogen4EU, a research partnership made up of international organizations and energy giants.
But the report makes it clear that this is not the silver bullet to solving the entire climate problem. Instead, it is the missing link for sectors that cannot be easily decarbonized by electrification.
Oil and gas companies and governments have also hailed clean hydrogen as the gas of the future, which could help Europe meet its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Europe’s hydrogen plan
The European Commission unveiled its Fit for 55 climate package on July 14, which included some of the bloc’s most ambitious proposals to cut carbon emissions and wean the EU 27 off fossil fuels.
Part of the draft proposals to achieve this is to give a significant boost to the development of the European hydrogen industry.
As such, it details a plan for a target share of 50% of hydrogen consumption in the industrial sector. It has also set an ambitious target of 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen to be produced in the EU by 2030 and to make hydrogen refueling stations more widely available.
How much will it cost to implement cleaner hydrogen?
The challenge of clean hydrogen is to reduce costs to compete with fossil fuels.
“I think what is really important at the moment is that you cannot make money with hydrogen projects because clean technologies are more expensive than dirty technologies”, Johannes Trüby, director from the economic energy and modeling consultancy at Deloitte and one of the authors of the report, told Euronews Next.
“As soon as the regulatory frameworks are in place for companies to break even, the hydrogen projects will come, and you cut costs.”
He said the profits would come next in turn, but it is currently impossible to put a price on what the clean hydrogen industry might be worth.
“Green hydrogen certainly plays a very important role in the transition to achieving net zero,” said Trüby.
“I think what we also recognize is that the amount of infrastructure you need for this green hydrogen is really gigantic,” Johannes Trüby of Deloitte, one of the report’s authors, told Euronews Next .
But even though producing green hydrogen may be more cost effective, the Hydrogen4EU report says it will not be enough to meet all future demand for clean hydrogen.
He said that to meet Europe’s demand for hydrogen in 2050, “1,000 to 1,700 GW of dedicated photovoltaic solar panels, a similar amount of wind power and 680 to 1,500 GW of electrolysers” would be required.
But this should increase tenfold since the EU has installed 120 GW of photovoltaics and 170 GW of wind power in total.
He estimates that developing hydrogen structures could cost Europe between 1.3 and 1.5 trillion euros, which would include facilities for producing, shipping, storing and pipelines for hydrogen.
Another way to boost clean hydrogen would be to increase the production of blue hydrogen, which is made from natural gas and the resulting carbon capture and storage (CCS).
It is considered low carbon because it buries the associated CO2 emissions underground. But environmental groups and some EU members are hesitant because it is not as clean as green hydrogen.
But the Commission and industry experts agree that blue hydrogen will be needed to develop the market.
The Hydrogen4EU report advises keeping all options open when it comes to hydrogen production and argues that a technologically diverse model cuts the cost of building a low carbon hydrogen value chain by 2,000 billion euros by 2050.
A European hydrogen hub?
Europe wants to be a world leader in the clean hydrogen market and is in a strong position to do so, says Noé van Hulst, hydrogen advisor at the International Energy Agency (IEA) and advisor at Gasunie, a Dutch gas company.
“We will have to have a policy in which you reallocate the pipelines,” van Hulst told Euronews Next.
“Then you can transport clean hydrogen from the supply sources to the demand centers, which may be further away, but luckily we can do that by reallocating the pipelines.”
He said that Europe has fortunately already recognized this possibility and that European gas infrastructure companies have devised the so-called hydrogen backbone plan, thanks to which in the next decades and already in the five to ten next few years, it can be done gradually.
“By 2040, hydrogen will be able to be transported mainly from east to west, from north to south, and vice versa across Europe. And that’s what you need to build a truly integrated clean European hydrogen market, including storage, ”he said.
Van Hulst predicts that in the long run, we will likely see clean hydrogen come to market around the world. But to do this, we will need to know clearly what product is being marketed and what its carbon footprint is.
“There has to be a respected, strong and reliable certificate market built on that. Clean hydrogen can then become a new global commodity market,” he said.
The International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Partnership is currently working on a methodology on how to calculate the amount of carbon produced for different ways of producing hydrogen.
What future for hydrogen?
For now, the achievement of the EU plan to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 is a long way off.
The Trüby team at Deloitte is monitoring the various hydrogen projects announced across Europe and calculating how much hydrogen they could produce once they are up and running.
He said that in the past two and a half years, only a third of the EU’s 10 million tonne ambition had been produced in 2020.
“The supply gap is still pretty big. I mean, there’s still nine years to go until 2030 and you could see more projects coming in,” Trüby said.
“But it just shows that if you take the Commission’s expectations and compare them to what is happening on the ground, there is still a pretty big supply gap.”
That said, uses of clean hydrogen are plentiful, including for heavy transport, especially trucks, as electric vehicles struggle to travel long distances and haul heavy weights. It can also be used for airplanes and ships.
Hydrogen is also beneficial for heavy industries such as steel, cement and chemicals.
“It’s a topic that really touches many stakeholders in the energy industry and I think that’s why we can expect it to be important,” Trüby said.
“How deep is it going to go then, that’s another story. But everyone is talking about hydrogen for exactly these reasons, because it has an impact on everyone.”

Microsoft plans to re-release Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 due to several problems with the current version.
Microsoft has had several million downloads of the SP4 update rollup since its 28 June release, but are witnessing problems with ’a small fraction’, according to Peter Houston, senior director of servicing strategy for Microsoft.
Some of those problems involve making connections to servers running Citrix and compatibility with third-party security software, according to information posted on Microsoft's website about the update rollup.
As a result of these issues, the company published information and guidance on this site to help users address problems. It will post a new version of the update rollup soon. Microsoft has not disclosed a specific time frame for the availability of the re-release.
In the meantime, Microsoft will not remove the current SP4 update rollup from its Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update, and advised users to read the information provided on the site to see if the problems will affect them. If it will, Microsoft is advising them to wait for the new software packages, according to Houston. If not, they should download the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 that is currently available.

Aryzta first quarter profits rise
Revenue at baked goods' producer Aryzta rose 9 per cent to €1.1 billion in the first quarter of the year.
The Zurich-based company reiterated its full-year guidance of 5 to 10 per cent growth, saying underlying earnings per share remain unchanged.
The company's European division, which accounts for around 44 per cent of revenue, grew 1.6 per cent to €321.2 million, amid challenging conditions including widening government austerity measures.
The company's North America division experienced a 12.3 per cent growth in revenue to €367.5 million.
Origin, in which Aryzta has a majority ownership, reported an 11.2 per cent increase in revenue to €351.2 million.
Aryzta's chief executive Owen Killian said the results were "satisfactory, given that the global trading environment remains very challenging and has not improved since our year-end results announcement in September".
"Based on the Q1 performance, we continue to view the outlook and guidance issued with our 2012 full-year results as valid," he added.

Last month, legislation was introduced to ensure that visitors to internet sites are aware of how they're being tracked. Mike Kneller explains
Have you ever browsed the internet looking for something, like a new TV or a refrigerator, and then later logged into another site to discover that banner adverts display items very similar to what you were looking for? That "coincidence" was caused by cookies tracking your web behaviour.
The only cookies that are exempt are those "strictly necessary for a service" such as those used to remember what items in an online shopping basket need to be paid for and those used for secure online payments. The contentious cookies are those that are used to study the customer's profile and behaviour, are applied to personalise a website or serve relevant third-party adverts.
The fact is that even if your site uses Google Analytics to track visitors, then you are impacted by this law. Even some online advertisers and website designers are failing to advise their clients on the implications of this law.
What can you do?
â- Next, check with your web developer or the provider of the website to determine what cookies are being used.
â- Seek advice from your website provider on the most effective solution they recommend to obtain consent from visitors.
â- Pop-ups, splash pages and asking users to accept new terms and conditions are just some of the ways in which you can seek consent.
Some people have argued that getting people to change their browser settings will be enough to comply. That's not the case. Currently, the privacy settings on most browser settings are not sophisticated enough, as users either have a choice of enabling all cookies or none at all. The onus, therefore, lies clearly with the website to seek consent from the user.
The ICO can approach any business running a website and ask them to demonstrate how they comply. They can also fine website owners up to £500,000 for serious breaches in the law - so the stakes are extremely high.
Can businesses afford to take a "wait and see" approach? The directive in fact came into force last year and was deferred by the UK government for a year to allow more time for businesses to prepare. It is unlikely that the law will be delayed again.
Yes, the odds of being prosecuted first out of millions of businesses are very slim and no one is really sure how the ICO can effectively police this - but can you really afford to take the risk and face up to a £500,000 fine?
To achieve true transparency, all publicly available systems should be designed with the user's privacy in mind. Rather than burying your head in the sand, it is time to start preparing. No one wants to be held as a test case.

MRS. MYRLE DIETRICH
Mrs. Myrle Dietrich, though far away in California,
has been in the thoughts of every student this year,
and the Senior Class is proud to remember her in the
commemoration of this Annual for l94l. Most of us
have enjoyed a class under her in English when she
taught here last year, and the two previous years. But
she must have had a longing for the Great West, so
she took this year to go to school at Los Angeles. We
understand she is Hboning up" on all fields of modern
thought in literature and social studies. We know she
is enioying her work, but how could she be a better
teacher or more appreciated by us! Her classes have
always been spirited w1th new thought and human
interest sidelights, and her aid in dramatic and extra
curricular activites has always been kindly and help-
fully given. Because of her broad experience she was
by many considered almost a Dean of girls. Every
senior especially, felt a great loss when she was found
absent in September. W'e've missed her, love her, and
hope she'll be back.

23 Août 2016
August 23, 2016
A significant step has been made toward the realization of a world without nuclear weapons.
The United Nations' Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) on nuclear disarmament adopted a report recommending the U.N. General Assembly to start negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons before the end of 2017.
A recommendation with a specific start-by date is a reflection of heightened international public opinion seeking the signing of a treaty banning the use of nuclear weapons, focusing on their inhumane nature.
The vote, however, was not unanimous. Of the member states, 68 voted for the recommendation while 22 voted against and 13 abstained. Japan, along with such countries as Switzerland and Sweden, abstained from voting, hinting at the rocky road that lies ahead before a worldwide nuclear ban can be enforced.
Such countries as Mexico and Austria, which voted in favor of the recommendation, were the same countries that led the move to establish the working group. Frustrated by the breakdown of the 2015 review conference on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons -- commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) -- these countries seek a speedy conclusion to the negotiations.
Meanwhile, Japan, Australia, and NATO countries, which are dependent on the U.S.'s nuclear umbrella, take the position that in the interest of security, nuclear disarmament should take place in stages, and that it is too soon for a global nuclear ban to be instituted at the moment.
Even among countries that argue for a gradual approach to nuclear disarmament, there were differences in how they voted in the working group: Australia, South Korea and Germany voted against the recommendation, while Japan, as mentioned earlier, abstained from voting. There exist layers upon layers of gaps among non-nuclear members.
When it comes to non-nuclear member states and nuclear member states -- the U.S., Russia, Britain, France and China -- the gaps are even wider. In protest of a nuclear ban, nuclear member states did not attend a single session of the working group held in February, May and August of this year.
The recommendation will be submitted to the fall session of the U.N. General Assembly. Alongside the submission of the recommendation, Mexico, among other members, is expected to make a motion to pass a resolution to begin negotiations. A majority of 107 U.N. member states are said to be in support of starting negotiations, indicating that there is a sufficient chance that the resolution will be passed.
As it continues to appeal to the rest of the world of its status as the only country that has ever experienced nuclear bombing, Japan, which relies on the U.S. nuclear umbrella, has claimed that it would serve as a bridge between nuclear and non-nuclear members. As the Japanese delegation's abstention shows, however, fulfilling that role has been extremely difficult.
The content of the nuclear weapons ban treaty has not yet been established. What countries such as Mexico have in mind is a treaty that restricts only non-nuclear states from using or possessing nuclear weapons. Others suggest a framework convention, in which a broad policy toward abolition of nuclear weapons is stipulated first, after which specific contents are negotiated.
It is crucial for Japan to more actively push nuclear members such as the U.S. to get moving, and to engage more actively in debate that brings together both the ideal of a world without nuclear weapons and the realities of security circumstances. Japan must contribute toward harnessing the significant step the working group has just made in adopting its negotiation recommendation.

Skaftafell: Ice Cave Tour & Glacier Hike
- Small group
- Duration: 4 hours
Want to discover all there is to do in Svinafellsjokull? Click here for a full list.
We were meant to take a morning tour but had unforeseen car troubles and were afraid we would miss our tour. Ryan was so understanding and allowed us to join the afternoon tour instead. Janet was our guide and absolutely AMAZING! She was so knowledgeable about the glacier and ice caves--taking us to three ice caves during our visit as well as all over the glacier. She was so kind and helpful to my in-laws,who were on the tour with us and needed to take a few breaks throughout. She made sure it was a wonderful experience for our entire group, and she took picture after picture of us! This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Iceland-- the weather was incredible, the area was gorgeous, and it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Janet and Ryan!
An excursion and an experience that I recommend to everyone if you have time to do it, Samanta our guide was incredible, adding comic touches and above all translating some things into Spanish, in summary a 10 for the excursion and a 12 for the guide! Thank you
Good price / performance ratio. Unbeatable guide. Great and long time on the glacier, ice cave nothing special, but at the end of the season (end of March). Gladly again, a sunset on the glacier before the descent would be a great idea.
The glacier hike was really great and impressive, but also alarming considering the circumstances that exist in the world ... Our guide Ryan was really great and we were glad we didn't have any of the others!
We liked everything, the route has been impressive, our guide Bryan a charm who told us all the history, anecdotes and answered all our questions. We are delighted

The news from the Tamil media reveals that Soundarya will be tying the knot with an upcoming actor named Vishagan who is also a divorcee. Soundarya Rajinikanth, who got divorced from her first husband, Ashwin, last year is all set to tie the knot again if IB Times is to be believed. She will get married to businessman and actor Vishagan Vanangamudi in January 2019.
This is Vishagan’s second marriage as well. He had debuted with Manoj Beedha’s Vanjagar Ulagam. Apparently, he is in the running to play the lead in Sigappu Rojakkal 2. Vishagan Vanangamudi owns a pharmaceutical company. Soundarya is also mother to five-year-old Ved Krishna, who lives with her. The film-maker recently got engaged to Vishagan in an intimate ceremony in the presence of close family. An official confirmation from the star’s family is yet to be out in this regard

Little, Brown has acquired a "subversive, funny and distinctive" debut novel: English Animals by Laura Kaye.
The book follows protagonist Miša from Slovakia as she struggles to make sense of "a very English couple" after getting a job in a country house in rural England. Richard and Sophie are outrageous and drunken, but also warm, generous and kind to Miša. Stuck in the middle of their "argumentative and turbulent marriage", the book is about "a doomed love affair" and "a certain kind of Englishness and prejudice", according to publishing director, Clare Smith.
Little, Brown acquired world rights to Kaye's debut from Elinor Cooper at Diamond Kahn & Woods Literary Agency.
Kaye is a graduate of Goldsmith’s Creative Writing MA, followed by a further year of study under the mentorship of M.J. Hyland at the University of Manchester. She has worked on music and arts documentaries for the BBC and lives in Hackney.
Cooper said: "Laura Kaye is a brilliant observer of human nature, with a wonderful eye for detail and a wry wit, who in her beautifully written debut novel, English Animals, balances poignancy and humour perfectly. Little, Brown is the perfect home for Laura's talents and I can't wait for them to share English Animals with readers in 2017."
Smith said: "English Animals is a subversive, funny and highly distinctive debut about a doomed love, affair, a certain kind of Englishness and prejudice, and reminded me of Nina Stibbe’s Man at the Helm. Laura is a very talented writer and I am absolutely delighted Little, Brown is launching her career."
Little, Brown will publish in hardback in Spring 2017.
