Crises are not new to the world economy, or to developing countries. Indeed, our current predicament is a convergence of at least three crises: in global finance, development, and environment. These areas are seemingly disparate but actually interact with each other in forceful ways to reflect major structural imbalances between finance and the real economy; between the higher income and developing economies; between the human economic system and the earth’s ecosystems. This blog seeks to contribute to a more open and global dialogue around these three crises: about how they interact, and how they can collectively be solved.
Though the global financial crisis is seen as having started between 2007 and 2008, the underlying processes have been in operation for much longer. The preceding boom was not only unsustainable, it deeply accentuated existing global inequities.
The excesses of finance in the higher income countries, which were enabled by inadequate regulation and supported by changes in fiscal and monetary policy, were one side of the coin. As well, the financial bubbles in the United States attracted savings from across the world, including from the poorest developing countries. In other words, in large part the South transferred wealth and opportunity to the North.
Because the world failed to put in place adequate mechanisms to prevent and mitigate financial crises after the crises of the 1990s, developing countries built up and sequestered massive foreign reserves as insurance policies against future crises. The cost of this approach was a limited capacity among developing nations to invest in the real economy.
Even during the boom, growth did not produce sustainable livelihoods across much of the globe. In much of the developing world, growth during the boom period was driven by export-oriented activities that generated relatively little employment or linkages to the broader economy, but added greatly to local and global forms of environmental degradation.
Old jobs across the globe were lost and the majority of new jobs were fragile or insecure and low-paying, even in the fastest-growing developing economies. The persistent agrarian crisis in the developing world hurt peasants and urban consumers alike and generated global food problems.
Government responses to the financial crisis may have saved the world economy from the brink of financial collapse, but they have not resolved these underlying problems. Bailouts have not been accompanied with preventive regulation. The food crisis persists and has even aggravated. Employment continues to be elusive and fragile.
Most of all, the attempt of policy makers across the world to return to “business as usual” is unlikely to work for long simply because of the ecological constraints upon future growth. These constraints are being expressed not only by climate change but also in the over-extraction of resources, toxic pollution, congestion, and numerous other environmental problems associated with the current type of boom and bust economic cycle we are currently in.
So why another blog? While there are a number of commendable blogs on various aspects of these three crises, this blog will examine all three crises and from a global and integrative perspective not often found in mainstream media outlets. In so doing we have assembled a truly global roster of economists and other social thinkers from across the world.
In this blog on the Triple Crises we aim to provide fresh analyses of long term forces, current processes, and future possibilities. Understanding the causes and effects of these multiple crises is of utmost importance. In addition to informing practical policies for immediate change, they also provide major opportunities for changed paradigms for re-organising economic and social life. Such change cannot emerge without concerted public discourse, which can translate into public action. Discussing and debating current policy can broaden the debate and play a role in bringing a more sensible approach to dealing with these crises. Looking critically at the past gives guidance for the present, and helps in thinking about and articulating an alternative future.
The TripleCrisis blog is co-chaired by Kevin P. Gallagher, Boston University professor and research associate at the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University (GDAE); and Jayati Ghosh Nehru University professor and co-chair of the Economic Research Foundation. The blog will be administered by GDAE. GDAE’s Timothy A. Wise serves as the managing editor of TripleCrisisblog.


For just a moment, however, let’s forget how far behind America has fallen when it comes to the adoption of renewable energy technologies. Instead, let’s focus on the fact that city governments have picked up the Fed’s dropped ball and are championing change in some of the country’s biggest urban areas.
Not convinced? Take a look at the 2013 City Energy Efficiency Scorecard released this week by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). The report catalogs, the efforts of America’s most populous on policies to advance energy efficiency. In addition to saving money, the rankings show that cities which are pro-active about energy-efficiency enjoy a healthier environment and growing economy.
“The report is the first to rank cities exclusively on energy efficiency efforts,” explains a press release. “Cities are evaluated on what actions they are taking to reduce energy use in five key areas: buildings; transportation; energy and water utility efforts; local government operations; and community-wide initiatives.”
In all, 34 cities were assessed in the report, but here’s a peek at the top 10 with their respective scores (out of 100):
- Boston (76.75)
- Portland (70)
- New York (69.75)
- San Francisco (69.75)
- Seattle (65.25)
- Austin (62)
- Washington, D.C. (56)
- Minneapolis (55.25)
- Chicago (54.75)
- Philadelphia (54.5)
Although Boston took the top spot, they weren’t necessarily the clear and away leader in all categories. “Portland scored highest in transportation and local government operations. Seattle ranked first in building policies. San Francisco tied with Boston for first in utility public benefits programs, and Austin is the city furthest ahead of its state on energy efficiency policy,” states the release.
Also, only 11 cities scored more than half of the possible points (Denver was 11th), which indicates that there is plenty of room for improvement across the board.
“Our report shows that cities are laboratories of innovation for energy-saving solutions that directly benefit people where they live, work and play,” said Eric Mackres, ACEEE’s local policy manager and the report’s lead author. “Local governments have great influence over energy use in their communities and many have initiatives that result in significant energy and cost savings.”

Bellevue’s Valve piggybacked onto Microsoft’s E3 press conference this morning, which included a glimpse of “Left 4 Dead 2.”
The sequel to Valve’s hit zombie game goes on sale Nov. 17 in versions for the Xbox 360 and PC.
In the teaser video, a group of people fighting off a horde of zombies fires the last bullet as a huge one approaches. After the dreaded click, the screen goes dark, then a chainsaw fires up, introducing one of the game’s new weapons.
Players will also be able to defend themselves with frying pans, axes and baseball bats in the southern-tinged action title.
“With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games,” Valve President Gabe Newell said in the release.
Also new in the game is melee combat “to enable deeper co-operative gameplay.”

IRAQ and WMD
General Sullivan says: "Regarding Secretary's Powell's statement that Phyllis Gardner mentions, he stated the Iraqis hadn't developed any significant capabilities in respect to weapons of mass destruction or the ability to employ them conventionally against his neighbors.
I believe he was wrong in his deduction; what does "significant" mean? Having the capability to produce bio/chemical is significant. The US, at the least, was concerned Iraq would give bio/chemicals to terrorists to be used in the US which is a huge, immediate threat. They certainly had the capability to employ bio/chemicals against their neighbors as the missiles that were found and destroyed during the last inspections prior to the war had that capability. Also they could take a vehicle capable of spraying and drive it up to the front lines and dispense chemicals.
Secondly , Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not agree with Powell and later must have given him an updated threat briefing as he portrayed a totally different picture in his presentation before the UN. I can remember one of the Senators from California after hearing Powell's briefing say, "There is no doubt now that Iraq has WMDs."
I believe our military commanders fully believed what they saw in intel pictures and humint (human Intelligence) gathered regarding WMDs inside of Iraq. You must act on the intelligence provided and most tend to believe the worst case rather than deny it as they are responsible for the safety of their people, troops and equipment.
Intel is definitely our weak suit, yet it was unbelievably good during the ground combat actions of the Iraqi War. The US giving the Iraqis chemical weapons "know-how" back in the "80s, is a puzzle to me and I don't know who would or could authorize something like that unless, possibly, they justified it for defensive purposes. I have no conclusive answer as to why this happened".

The Lower Silurian Red Mountain Formation in central Alabama consists of interbedded sandstone and siltstone and four prominent intervals of sedimentary iron formation. Conglomerates consisting of discoid limestone cobbles in sedimentary hematite ore matrix commonly are present in one or more beds within the formation. Elongate cobbles have preferred northeast and southeast orientations. Crossbedding within the conglomerate matrix suggests southwestward-directed paleocurrents. Cobbles are deformed by soft-sediment draping. Bioclastic limestone lenses within and directly below the conglomerate intervals were apparently the source material.
Although exposures of the Red Mountain Formation are insufficient to prove a beltlike distribution of the conglomerates, or the trend of such a belt, the conglomerates are known to be present along the strike of the southeastern limb of the Birmingham anticlinorium from Bessemer to Gadsden, Alabama, a distance of more than 70 mi. Width of the possible belt may be as much as 2 mi.
The Red Mountain Formation is absent in the Helena thrust block southeast of the Birmingham thrust block. Northwest of the Birmingham anticlinorium, the formation grades into calcareous shale and limestone.
Clay cobbles similar in size and shape to those in the Red Mountain Formation are forming at a site in the Mississippi Sound on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The clay cobbles originate through the combined effects of desiccation and cracking of clay lenses in the intertidal zone and gentle wave abrasion.
It is suggested that during Early Silurian time a slowly rising arch at the site of the Birmingham anticlinorium separated land on the southeast from the open sea on the northwest. The cobbles originated in an intertidal zone on the arch. Southwest-oriented crossbedding foresets evidently resulted from back-bar longshore currents during tidal withdrawal. The arch never was sufficiently emergent to cause erosion during Early Silurian time, and during deposition of the greater part of the Red Mountain Formation the arch remained submerged. The conglomerate zones mark the times of maximum emergence. Basement involvement in the development of the Birmingham anticlinorium is suggested by this evidence of uplift early in the history of Paleozoic sedimentation.

Red Sox fans have are used to paying high ticket prices — the highest prices in the MLB in fact — but things have started to take a turn.
The Sox have not been performing very well so far this season, and combine this start with the September collapse and you have a very upset fanbase. It seems this bad play has affected ticket prices.
This led the guys to play a little game called Red Sox Ticket Price Is Right.
Your job in this one is to guess which item costs more: the cheapest Sox ticket listed on a popular ticketing website or a random item Rich names. Play along and you might be surprised.
After the game, the guys took a listen to some terrible Toronto Blue Jays songs.

Brined short ribs with cavallo nero, sliced potatoes sauteed in butter.
I made this Top Chef Masters recipe because we have a new order of beef coming next month, and we have to use up the remaining cuts in the freezer.
I started at 9:30 a.m. making the brine so the ribs could marinate for enough time. (I was counting backwards from 5 p.m., when we needed to eat so that Josh could make it to 6 p.m. soccer practice and still digest his food. No puking at soccer, please.) The brine was so insanely salty that it destroyed my cuticles. But once the ribs were in it, I went about my day until it was time to heat 'em up.
Cooking the ribs was easy, but I picked the wrong skillet. I used a nonstick pan to brown the meat and caramelize the vegetables, so there was nothing to deglaze at the end. Stupid mistake! Once everything was golden brown and delicious, into the pot it went with some broth (and the wine that I would have used for deglazing), then into the oven for the rest of the day. Easy!
The meat was delicious and easy to prepare, even though it involved three or four steps. The kids loved it, especially the carrots that cook in the braising liquid along with the ribs. This dish is going in the rotation for the school year, when I can brine it overnight and cook it in the crock pot while I'm at work.
The cavallo nero, however, was just okay. It's just braised cabbage and onions, and it was a ton of work with all the chopping, and I wouldn't bother making it again. Plus it made my house smell like cabbage, so I'm a little resentful.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 — Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld Malaysia) has aborted the proposed merger with UEM Sunrise Bhd (UEMS) following a careful evaluation amid the current challenging environment with the Movement Control Order’s (MCO) re-implementation.
The company said the cessation of talks on the proposed merger would enable it to actively pursue other corporate proposals that may be more complementary to its present growth plans and strategies.
“The board wishes to thank UEM Group Bhd for its invitation to consider the proposed merger with UEMS and remains open to the possibility of future collaborations with UEMS, should another opportunity arise,” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
Under the merger proposed by UEM Group in October last year, EcoWorld was to become a subsidiary of UEMS and be delisted from the Main Market of the stock exchange.
The Securities Commission has given the two parties until Jan 31 to decide whether to proceed with discussions on the proposed merger.
In a press statement today, EcoWorld Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said the cessation of talks on the proposed merger would enable the group to focus on its own business plans for the financial year ending Oct 31, 2021 (FY21), which includes a sales target of RM2.875 billion — 25 per cent higher than the actual RM2.3 billion sales recorded in FY20.
“On this note, we have got off to a very strong start with RM500 million sales already achieved in the first two months of FY21.
“This is a very encouraging result given November and December are typically quiet months for the property sector. Team EcoWorld’s ability to lock in these sales demonstrates how effectively they have transformed the overall sales process using every tool available, particularly digital and social media channels, to engage with customers and close sales,” he said.
Liew noted that the group would continue to work on further digitalising and improving every aspect of the sales process during the current MCO to push towards attainment of the overall target set for the year.
Trading of EcoWorld Malaysia and UEMS’ securities were halted at 2.30 pm today and resumed at 3.30 pm.

Klaipedos Kartonas AB, a subsidiary of Grikiskes AB, has started an essential project for the modernisation of their paper production machine. The aim of the project is to double the company’s production capacity within 3-5 years. As specified in a notice of Grikiskes AB dated 04 June 2015 and commented on in a meeting with investors on the same day, the strategy of the subsidiary is to implement this project in three stages.
Klaipedos kartonas AB and Voith Paper S.A., which belongs to the Voith GmbH Company, have signed a supply agreement for new equipment amounting to EUR 9.3 mln and have started the first stage of the modernisation project for the paper production machine.
“We are going to invest EUR 13.6 mln in the project during this stage. The working speed and volume of paper production are going to increase by 30% by the end of the third quarter of 2016, after the new equipment is manufactured and mounted. At the same time, the manufacturing production qualitative parameters are going to be improved and the range is going to be expanded. Taking into account the increasing demand for production, we hope that these investments help the company strengthen its position within the international markets”, stated Gintautas Pangonis, the President of Grikiskes AB and the Chairman of the Board of Klaipedos kartonas AB.
This year, Klaipedos kartonas AB will also invest into increasing the production volume of paper honeycomb and, in October, plans to start a second paper honeycomb production line. Investments planned: more than EUR 1.4 mln.
It is expected that when the new line is started, the paper honeycomb production capacity will increase by almost three times.

Whether you're looking for advice from an empath, or a tarot card reading from a skilled card reader, any and every type of reading can be done accurately over the phone. You don’t have to spend hours with a telephone psychic to get important insights and answers to your questions. If you feel you are not connecting well with an Advisor, it’s OK to say so and continue browsing until you find someone with whom you truly connect.
Most card readers are highly portable and versatile in their ability to read more than one type of memory card. The most common types of memory cards are Secure Digital (SD), microSD, SDHC, microSDHC, CompactFlash (CF), Memory Stick (MS), MS Duo, Mini SD, and MMC. Before buying a reader, make sure it's compatible with the memory card you are using.
All biometric readers work similarly, by comparing the template stored in memory to the scan obtained during the process of identification. If there is a high enough degree of probability that the template in the memory is compatible with the live scan (the scan belongs to the authorized person), the ID number of that person is sent to a control panel. The control panel then checks the permission level of the user and determines whether access should be allowed. The communication between the reader and the control panel is usually transmitted using the industry standard Wiegand interface. The only exception is the intelligent biometric reader, which does not require any panels and directly controls all door hardware.
Biometric templates may be stored in the memory of readers, limiting the number of users by the reader memory size (there are reader models that have been manufactured with a storage capacity of up to 50,000 templates). User templates may also be stored in the memory of the smart card, thereby removing all limits to the number of system users (finger-only identification is not possible with this technology), or a central server PC can act as the template host. For systems where a central server is employed, known as "server-based verification", readers first read the biometric data of the user and then forward it to the main computer for processing. Server-based systems support a large number of users but are dependent on the reliability of the central server, as well as communication lines.
The advantage of using barcode technology is that it is cheap and easy to generate the credential and it can easily be applied to cards or other items. However the same affordability and simplicity makes the technology susceptible to fraud, because fake barcodes can also be created cheaply and easily, for example by photocopying real ones. One attempt to reduce fraud is to print the barcode using carbon-based ink, and then cover the bar code with a dark red overlay. The barcode can then be read with an optical reader tuned to the infrared spectrum, but can not easily be copied by a copy machine. This does not address the ease with which barcode numbers can be generated from a computer using almost any printer.
In the 1-to-1 mode a user must first either present an ID card or enter a PIN. The reader then looks up the template of the corresponding user in the database and compares it with the live scan. The 1-to-1 method is considered more secure and is generally faster as the reader needs to perform only one comparison. Most 1-to-1 biometric readers are "dual-technology" readers: they either have a built-in proximity, smart card or keypad reader, or they have an input for connecting an external card reader.


Paramount Picks Up Dan Bradley's 'Hellified' Action Movie
by Alex Billington
June 26, 2009
It looks like Paramount has found their own version of Universal's upcoming Dante's Inferno project. The studio has just picked up a supernatural action spec script called Hellified written by Andy Burg (K-9, Alaska) that "involves a journey to hell." Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce and Dan Bradley (seen in the photo above), the former stunt coordinator who is directing MGM's Red Dawn remake, will direct. No more additional details were revealed about the story or much else, but it sounds like Paramount wants to turn this into a big, exciting action movie where the hero travels to hell (and back).
THR is saying that this script is screenwriter Andy Burg's "new act as an action writer." I really hope this is as good as they're saying, but if it sold to Paramount, then its probably going to kick ass. As for Dan Bradley, he sounds like the big up-and-coming director to keep our eye on. Not only is he directing MGM's big remake of Red Dawn, which seems like it'll feature a hell of a lot of action, but now he's going to follow that up with this, too. Either he's got a great agent or an amazing demo reel (or both). I wish we knew more about Hellified, but it looks like we'll have to wait to hear more on the story at a later point. Stay tuned!
An action movie set in hell. Could be really cool or really, really stupid. I'd love to see a movie done right about hell. It's a subject no one wants to talk about but has so many possibilities on what you could do with it. Can't say the people involved in it impress me much but I guess we'll see.

Yellow Bee Market
Grocery market with Bánh Mì
Sleek and urban design
Careful planning, a clear design direction, and thoughtful details helped maximize the available space in this upscale neighborhood market in Yesler Terrace. A palette of exposed concrete, black metal, light wood, and pops of yellow help create the sleek, urban yet lively space the client desired for his new grocery concept. Playing off the client’s logo, the hexagon shape was used throughout the space at various scales to reinforce the brand identity.
The design team worked closely with the client to achieve an ideal layout for the store and the full commercial kitchen, optimizing the space to fit the program and work around existing columns.

Proposals that provide additional employment benefits should be supported, particularly where these benefits have the potential to meet employment needs in localities close to the marine plan areas.
- See Office for National Statistics for an explanation of employment. A propoent may wish to consider this explanation in the development of a proposal.
- Local council websites often have useful economic information, or links to local research and information providers. Planning web pages can be good place to start, and local planning documents often include economic analysis to support their plans. This may highlight what kind of skills are available or being developed locally, and therefore where a proposal might be able to meet local employment needs.
- A proposal might not generate a lot of employment directly, but it might enable employment through linked activities, like providing resources to be used throughout a supply chain. A description of this could be included in a proposal, to help demonstrate its full economic benefit.
- 'Additionality' is a concept that aims to look at what a project can provide over and above what is likely to happen anyway. For a potential approach on how to estimate GVA place see the information from Scottish Enterprise (PDF 816.4KB).
- This policy should be applied proportionately, so the amount of time spent estimating and the accuracy of estimates of GVA and additionallity should reflect the size and complexity of the proposal. In practice this means that these estimates may only be possible or appropriate or possible and appropriate for proposals with significant levels of employment, or expected income or expenditure.

It’s a well known fact that very few people have the energy levels like hotshot music director Devi Sri Prasad when it comes to performing on stage. For quite sometime, there have been rumours that he might take the plunge and turn actor. Now, one such rumour is doing rounds on the internet which claims that Devi Sri Prasad has expressed his desire to act with Shriya Saran. Apparently, in an interview, Devi Sri Prasad claimed that if he ever turns actor he’ll only act with Shriya. The two have been friends for a long time and DSP has composed music for several films starring Shriya Saran. It’ll be interesting to see how Shriya responds to Devi Sri Prasad’s comment. Currently, Devi Sri Prasad has quite a few projects in hand, while Shriya recently wrapped up shooting for Roopa Iyer’s upcoming bilingual film Chandra.

A Geological Disposal Facility, or GDF, is an underground facility designed to safely and securely dispose of our radioactive waste – specifically ‘higher-activity’ waste.
It involves building a series of specially designed and engineered vaults and tunnels deep underground. It could potentially be three times deeper than the height of the Shard in London, Britain’s tallest building.
Once the waste is placed inside a GDF, the facility is sealed. The way the facility is designed and engineered means it can keep protecting people and the environment for hundreds of thousands of years, without needing any maintenance, while the radioactivity fades away naturally.
Scientists and other authorities all over the world agree that geological disposal is the safest way to deal with ‘higher-activity’ radioactive waste (the most radioactive kind) for the long term. This international consensus comes after decades of scientific research.
The Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency, are the UK’s independent nuclear regulators, and they will review the designs and safety cases for a GDF, the proposed site, and the science that informs them, and will make sure it protects people and the environment. A GDF will only be built if the independent regulators are satisfied.
Unlike other big infrastructure projects, the process of choosing a site for a GDF requires the explicit consent of a community willing to host the facility.
Forming the GDF Community Partnership is not a commitment to agree to a GDF in the area. Neither is studying potential sites or planning how the community could potentially benefit from the project. The community can be withdrawn from the process at any time.
A Working Group is formed early in the GDF siting process to begin local discussions and fact-finding with the community.
An early task for the Working Group was to identify and propose a Search Area for further consideration by the GDF developer. The Working Group spoke with hundreds of people across the community to begin to understand issues or questions they might have about geological disposal. The Working Group also recruited initial members for the Community Partnership (see below) which is now taking the process further forward.
A Community Partnership is a group made up of members from three sectors – local authorities, (county, district, town and parish councils) and people from voluntary and community groups and organisations, business representative and NWS, the GDF developer.
A Community Partnership’s role includes ensuring the community has the relevant information they need when considering the possibility of hosting a GDF. An outline of the full role and key responsibilities of a Community Partnership can be found from page 45 in the Implementing geological disposal – working with communities policy.
A GDF cannot be sited in any community which does not consent to it. If proposals to site a GDF in your community are taken forward by a Community Partnership, you will be able to communicate your views on the proposals by:
Further on in the siting process, a Community Partnership will need to provide evidence that its community supports the siting of a GDF in the area, via a Test of Public Support.
Yes. Finland has chosen a site where it plans to build a GDF, with the support of the local community there.
Posiva Oy, the Finnish version of NWS, chose Olkiluoto island as the site for their GDF in 2000. The majority of the local community was in favour of the project then, and support has actually grown as the project has developed.
SKB, the Swedish version of NWS, developed a consent-based approach before the UK. They committed to walk away from any community that did not support having a GDF built nearby. That helped communities to trust them and get involved in the conversation with confidence.
Read the latest update as Östhammar agrees to host a GDF, here.
A Working Group was formed in Theddlethorpe, and they identified an initial ‘Search Area’. This is the geographical area or areas within which the GDF developer will seek potentially suitable sites for a GDF. The GDF developer’s role is very much one of information gathering, ahead of a Community Partnership being formed.
A Theddlethorpe Community Partnership has formed that takes over the work of the Working Group and this will include community members and organisations, seeking to be reflective of our local community. It will provide a vehicle for sharing information and for finding answers to the questions you might have about geological disposal, the siting process and how we, as a community, could benefit.
In the UK, we’ve benefited from nuclear technology for many decades. We’ve used nuclear technology to power our homes, radioactive isotopes to diagnose and treat serious illnesses, and to drive industry for over 70 years. As a result, we’ve produced various different types of radioactive waste, including ‘higher-activity’ waste.
Radioactive waste is stored at nuclear facilities around the country, with the bulk of it stored as Sellafield, Europe’s largest nuclear site. Sellafield dates back to the late 1940s and in the early years of its operation, the focus was on producing material for the UK’s nuclear defence programme before the switch to generating electricity. More recently the site was used to reprocess spent fuel from the UK’s fleet of nuclear power stations; collectively this activity has created a legacy of radioactive waste and spent fuel that is still being stored onsite in surface facilities today.
Sellafield’s range of purpose-built stores are designed to keep this waste safe and secure for many decades. Nevertheless, these facilities require constant maintenance and monitoring while the radioactivity naturally decays. For some of the waste this will take many thousands of years, so even if well maintained, these surface stores will be vulnerable to natural and human events such as rising sea levels and even the next ice age.
A geological disposal facility (GDF) built up to 1,000 metres in the rock deep underground will contain the waste safely and isolate it from climate changes or future human intervention, until the radioactivity naturally decays and no longer poses a hazard to people or the environment. In essence, a GDF removes any requirement for future generations to take perpetual care of today’s hazardous legacy.
GDF surface facilities could require around one square kilometre of land, depending on how the site was laid out and if any of the facilities were located off-site.
These surface facilities would be linked to the much larger underground GDF facilities by sloping tunnels and/or vertical shafts. The primary purpose of the surface facilities would be to receive solid waste packages from rail and road network and transfer them to the underground facilities and to support ongoing construction of new underground vaults.
The GDF developer would seek to ensure that the delivery of a GDF is sensitive to the local area and that the designs of surface facilities are sympathetic to the local environment.
Under current plans, at the end of the operation phase the surface facility would be removed with the area being restored to natural habitat.
Yes, it is possible for the underground facilities to extend out beyond the coastline, underneath several hundreds of metres of rock. The initial discussions about Theddlethorpe have focused on a GDF deep in the rock beyond the coast.
From a geological perspective, there is little difference between a GDF constructed within rocks under land or within rocks under the seabed. A GDF exists to isolate the waste from the surface environment, and providing the correct geological environment is selected, it makes little difference what is going on in that surface environment – land or sea. In either scenario, the depths of rock above ensure protection for many thousands of years.
What’s absolutely clear is that while a GDF could be built hundreds of metres below the seabed, waste would not be disposed of on the seabed itself.
Compared to a land based GDF, there are of course different challenges and considerations, such as avoiding disruption to marine environments during preliminary investigations and construction. We would also need to liaise with stakeholders in the fishing and maritime sectors.
But the priorities would remain the same: safety and security, plus full compliance with all the regulatory criteria.
When the time comes – many years from now – a GDF would be built safely in any one of three potential host rock types commonly found in the UK. You can read more about the different geologies here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68fJrVN_B_k
The potential host rock around Theddlethorpe, including the area deep under the seabed, is made up of a well-known and predictable sequence of sedimentary rocks at the right depth for a GDF (200-1,000m).
We already know quite a lot about the subsurface geology of the UK, but not enough to fully base a final decision on the siting of a GDF, because it would be built much deeper (up to 1000m) than normal underground infrastructure, like most pipelines and train tunnels. So we will need to carry out further detailed, site-specific investigations like seismic surveys and drilling boreholes before it is possible to conclude whether an area would be suitable or not. We already know quite a lot about the subsurface geology of the UK, but not enough to fully base a final decision on the siting of a GDF, because it would be built much deeper (up to 1000m) than normal underground infrastructure, like most pipelines and train tunnels. So we will need to carry out further detailed, site-specific investigations like seismic surveys and drilling boreholes before it is possible to conclude whether an area would be suitable or not.
Different types of transport infrastructure will be needed at different stages of the project, if it were to proceed. Detailed studies will be undertaken and the transport options looked at, based on the construction and operational requirements for a GDF within the Search Area.
This will take place at the stage of Community Partnership and these studies would explore and understand the impact on transport infrastructure. It could also help to identify potential benefits for local communities through connections to the existing road and rail networks.
While initial site investigations take place, there would be very little change. During construction, we would need to move construction materials and spoil from digging tunnels and underground shafts, along with the people who are building it. As we begin the operation phase, additional infrastructure would be required to safely transport the packaged radioactive waste.
The existing transport networks around Theddlethorpe or any other site will almost certainly need to be improved, which could provide additional local benefits by improving road and rail connections. This could make the area more attractive for further economic development, other investment projects and support tourism.
Any plans to change and enhance the transport infrastructure would have to be in line with local transport plans and designed to make sure they also provide the greatest possible benefit to the local community.
Any future transport options would need to take into account the flood risk, just as the GDF surface site location would. As part of this, opportunities for combining transport improvements, particularly road or rail with flood mitigation works would be considered.
Sea transport would be considered and could bring additional benefits through the upgrading of existing ports for example, as well as reducing the impact of land-based transport.
We understand that communities might be concerned about property values. Most major infrastructure projects provide compensation for local residents and property owners who experience an impact on the value of their property as a result of new infrastructure.
Now that a Community Partnership has been formed, the GDF developer will work in partnership with the community to assess how a property support scheme would be implemented. The GDF developer would seek independent advice and draw upon best practice and experience from other infrastructure projects, to ensure any potential scheme is appropriate for the local area.
There will be a long lead-in time to the construction of a GDF of perhaps 20 years, as well as on-going construction and operation for over 100 years. This means there is ample time to work with the community on the training and education aspirations to develop a local workforce and ensure local people can and do get jobs at the facility. Because construction and operation run in parallel, workers would live in the area for generations, not just a few years during the initial construction work. This would have a significant long-term impact on the local economy.
Large parts of the East Lindsey Area are protected due to their nature conservation interest and we understand and fully support that these protected areas need to be respected. We would seek to work with the local authorities, the community, and relevant stakeholders, to understand the natural environment in greater detail and consider the implications of delivering a GDF in line with relevant legislation and policy. There may be opportunities to provide environmental enhancements as part of the delivery of a GDF.
Because with something like a GDF, its only right that we proceed carefully. It is expected to take 10 to 15 years to identify a suitable site, and around 10 years of initial construction before a GDF can start to receive waste. However, the process is driven largely by discussions with communities and the time needed to carry out detailed investigations at the site. Therefore, this date must not be seen as fixed, but instead as a reasonable basis for planning based on current assumptions and planning timescales.
The Search Area is the geographical area within which the GDF developer will look to find a potential site. The Search Area has to be based on district electoral ward boundaries and it can be no smaller than a district council electoral ward. Also, Community Partnership members must have lived or worked within the Search Area – the two electoral wards of Withern & Theddlethorpe and Mablethorpe – for at least 12 months prior to formation of the Partnership. The deep geology under the inshore area (beyond the coast) will also be considered for the underground part of a GDF.
It covers the two East Lindsey District Council electoral wards of Withern & Theddlethorpe, and Mablethorpe. That’s an area of around 110 square kilometres, with a population of over 9,000.
The former gas terminal site in Theddlethorpe remains a key focus area for the GDF surface facilities and the deep geology under the inshore area (beyond the coast) will considered for the underground part of a GDF.
Although the Working Group’s initial area of interest remains the former gas terminal site in Theddlethorpe, the ward of Mablethorpe has been included because it is so close to the boundary of the gas terminal site and the potential to locate some facilities, such as offices or training facilities at other locations, including Mablethorpe.
Yes – a Community Partnership could change the Search Area as proposals develop in more detail. For example, if new infrastructure like roads or a rail link were needed.
Eventually, the Search Area will be narrowed down until the Community Partnership identifies a specific site and the community which will be directly affected by the facility being on that site. This will be the “Potential Host Community” (PHC). The PHC will also be defined using electoral ward boundaries and it is the people living within this area that will be involved in the final Test of Public Support.
Government policy is clear that, before the final decision is made on a preferred site, there must be a Test of Public Support to determine whether the PHC is willing to host a GDF.

Quote from Goat Color Pages :
Encouraging Creativity By getting your children participate in coloring activities like online coloring or printable coloring sheets you’re encouraging their creativity. It’s simple to add variety to your youngster’s play kitchen! Have each child make hand prints onto a sheet of paper utilizing paint. If your kid is really getting into discussing the differences in animals, you can chat about the differences in people. Children can learn a lot of things from the easy job of coloring. They will start by selecting the colors that they want to use for the 0 and the 1. Most children take pleasure in the activity of coloring.
Color makes the world a lovely location. Colors are a critical component for not just the visual look of products but also brand recognition. Coloring may also be put to use as a terrific reward for work well done. Analogous colors are a breeze to discover in nature. You normally observe the exact same colors other folks see. Consequently it is wise to choose a color only a few tints away from your normal color. Your crayon colors are created from pigments.
One of the benefits of a mandala design is that you’re absolutely free to decide on any form and color that would express your view of reality and approach the process including all the creativity you’ve got. It is possible to also find creative with your brush choices if you’d like to make your coloring look more realistic. Another popular alternative for coloring enthusiasts, markers enable the colorist to attain a deeper and more uniform fill at the expense of requiring more caution. In addition, there are free and paid options, based on your financial plan.
Pick the white color for the brush and begin painting over the regions where you desire the color to reveal. Opt for the black and white image you wish to add color to, and it is going to automatically add it to the internet app.

Climate Change Lesson #3: Everything is Connected to Everything Else
This is the third in a series of short homilies about the lessons of climate change.
the system is stabilized by its dynamic self- compensating properties; these same properties, if overstressed, can lead to a dramatic collapse; the complexity of the ecological network and its intrinsic rate of turnover determine how much it can be stressed, and for how long, without collapsing; the ecological network is an amplifier, so that a small perturbation in one place may have large, distant, long-delayed effects.
Some of what Commoner said about stability would be amended by later ecologists, but few would quarrel with the idea that “a small perturbation in one place may have large, distant, long-delayed effects.” Indeed, we sometimes call this the butterfly effect today.
The significance of these connections was brought home to me in a lecture by climate scientist Inez Fung. She was explaining that a significant modeling factor involved the specific species of evergreens growing in arctic areas. Why? Some evergreens have horizontal branches which hold snow (which in turn reflects sunlight). Others have downward slanting branches that dump snow (and absorb sunlight because the branches are dark.) This actually makes a difference on a macro scale. So what kinds of Christmas trees grow up north helps determine how quickly the sea rises on tropical islands and how fast the glaciers melt in the Andes.
We’ve known for a long that in some general sense everything is connected with everything else. But now we’re beginning to see the machinery that connects them. It’s really quite remarkable!

By Andrew Tangel, Los Angeles Times –
NEW YORK — Wall Street investors aren’t the only ones feeling the sting of Facebook Inc.’s falling stock: So are some of the country’s troubled government pension funds.
Public employee retirement funds from around the country took part in the Menlo Park, Calif., social networking juggernaut’s May 18 initial public offering and plowed millions of dollars into Facebook stock before its value plunged.
Facebook shares continued their decline Friday, falling $1.03, or 5.4 percent, to a record low of $18.06, or less than half their $38 offering price.
Although public pension funds staked only tiny portions of their multibillion-dollar portfolios on Facebook’s fortunes, the stock’s poor performance has added to the funds’ woes. Chronic underfunding and poor returns could lead pension funds to pursue riskier investments such as hedge funds, private equity, commodities and real estate, or even cut benefits for retirees.
Three pension funds have joined a class-action lawsuit against Facebook and its underwriters. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, N.Y., alleges that lead underwriters led by Morgan Stanley gave only some select investors a heads-up that Facebook’s revenue forecast had soured.
“We expect Facebook and the people who benefited from that sale to pay up,” said George Hopkins, executive director of the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System, which has lost about $2.9 million on about 142,500 Facebook shares it has kept from the IPO.
The Arkansas teacher pension fund is part of a group of institutional investors that includes the Fresno County Employees’ Retirement Association (estimated Facebook losses: $1 million) and the North Carolina Retirement Systems (estimated losses: $12.4 million). The group has filed papers seeking to become lead plaintiffs in the case.
Two major California pensions also bet big on Facebook.
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the country’s largest public pension, refused to reveal how many shares it bought in the IPO. CalPERS had 557,140 Facebook shares on May 23 and more than doubled its stake to 1.3 million shares as of this week, according to a spokeswoman.
The California State Teachers’ Retirement System bought about 500,000 shares in the IPO — worth about $19 million — and sold them when the price briefly popped on the first day. CalSTRS made about $250,000 on the sale, a spokesman said.
CalSTRS has since loaded up on 1.2 million Facebook shares, a stake that has cost the pension fund about $17 million in paper losses, a spokesman said.
“As a patient, long-term investor with a 30-year investment horizon we believe that over time, the stock and the company should perform well,” CalSTRS spokesman Michael Sicilia said in an email.
Facebook’s IPO was fraught with problems. First there was trouble with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s trading system, which delayed the offering and then botched early trading, costing Wall Street brokerages an estimated $500 million. Then came revelations of selective disclosure about Facebook’s declining fortunes.
The stock has since languished and could see more pressure as company insiders become eligible to sell more than 1.2 billion shares later this year.
Facebook did not respond to a request for comment.
Still, pension funds don’t plan to eschew future IPOs because of their experience with Facebook.
“We can’t swear off of them entirely — we’d be missing out on a big piece of the equity market,” said Phil Kapler, head of the Fresno County Employees’ Retirement Association, who noted that every public company at some point came to the market in an IPO.
Research by Jay Ritter, a professor of finance at the University of Florida who has studied initial public offerings, shows that average three-year returns of IPOs from 1980 until 2010 have underperformed the broader stock market by 19.7 percent.
But companies with more than $500 million in sales before their IPOs had average three-year returns that beat the market by 2.6 percent, according to Ritter’s research.
“I would not recommend excluding all IPOs as part of a diversified portfolio,” Ritter said.

On cool winter nights, slipping between cozy flannelette sheets at the end of a long day can feel like heaven. Flannelette sheets, commonly known as brushed cotton or flannel, are warm, fuzzy cotton bed sheets than are perfect for cool winter months and cold sleepers.If you're interested in buying a new set of warm flannelette or brushed cotton sheets, then keep reading for answers to commonly asked questions about flannelette sheets.About Flannelette Sheets:
Is flannelette the same as brushed cotton?Flannelette is also known as Brushed Cotton. The brushing process creates a soft pile on the sheet, which holds the warmth in well and creates that soft, cosy feel! The terms are quite often used inter-changeably as Flannelette / Brushed Cotton fabric is brushed on both sides, resulting in a fuzzier, warmer and thicker fabric. Sometimes Brushed Cotton is only brushed on one side, but ours is brushed on both.
What is flannelette?Flannelette is a 100% cotton fabric with a thick warp and thin weft, the surface of which is napped. What that means in regular terms is that flannelette is a lightweight, soft, fuzzy cotton fabric.How are flannelette sheets different than flannel sheets?Technically, flannel is a loosely woven wool fabric that is not napped. While a distinction between flannelette and flannel is still made in Europe, the flannel sold in the United States is actually flannelette; real flannel is much less common and usually more expensive. However, don’t assume that flannelette is inferior to traditional flannel. Flannelette is a very different fabric than flannel and produces soft, cozy sheets that flannel would not.Are flannelette sheets better than regular sheets?Flannelette sheets aren’t better or worse than regular sheets, but they do have properties that make them perfect for certain situations. Because flannelette sheets are thicker than regular sheets and brushed, they make great sheets for cold nights or cold sleepers. If you sleep cold, if you want a new set of extra cozy sheets for the winter or if you’re looking for the right sheets for your weekend retreat, flannelette sheets may be perfect.What should I look for when I’m buying flannelette sheets?Material and weight are the major factors to consider when you’re shopping for flannelette sheets. Look for 100% cotton flannelette when you’re shopping for flannelette bedding. Some flannelette sheets are made from cotton-poly blends, which have a lighter hand and pill more quickly than all cotton flannelette sheets. Also, most flannelette sheets will give a weight expressed in gram-per-square-meter, so compare the weights of different flannelette sheets when you’re shopping. We only have 100% Cotton flannelette and brushed cotton.Are flannelette sheets expensive?Flannelette sheets vary in quality and price, but since flannelette doesn’t require a high thread count for its signature fuzzy nap, prices for quality flannelette sheets stay relatively low, but its all about the grams per square metre.Are flannelette sheets difficult to find?As long as you realize that flannelette sheets are usually called “brushed cotton sheets,” they’re easy to find and we have a huge section dedicated to our favourite range. In fact, there are many different kinds of flannelette bedding available, like flannelette duvet covers and flannelette pillow cases.

We all know the “official” story of the Las Vegas Shooting that occurred on 10/1/17. Stephen Paddock managed to kill 58 people and injure over 500 more, with simple AR-15 rifles from room 32-135 of the Mandalay Bay.
Paddock managed to pull off many accurate head shots at sniper distances with AR-15s fitted with bump stocks and managed to accurately hit running targets over a quarter mile away. That’s some of the “official” story.
More of the “official” story is that officers breached Paddock’s room, found Paddock dead from suicide, ammo, weapons, expended casings all over the place, and two broken windows. What if I told you, that there were never any broken windows in 32-135 of the Mandalay Bay until after officers breached that room?
Thanks to Shepard Ambellas of Intellihub and John Cullen of Youtube’s John E. Hoover channel, we now know this as fact. Click here to read Shepard Ambellas Intellihub report on this.
John Cullen of John E. Hoover on YouTube elaborates on Ambellas report, and breaks down the body camera footage, as well as the dialogue spoken by officers in that footage. He points out the complete miss by several mainstream news outlets. Check it out here:
“Standby, we’ve got curtains open on a window that’s not broken.” “It’s not! It’s not! It’s not! Corey, it’s not. No, it’s not.”- SWAT officers' own words after breaching Paddock’s room.
Why isn’t this being reported by any mainstream news outlets. Isn’t this fabricating evidence? Why did the news outlets that reported on the body camera footage skip over that dialogue? Did they just miss it? Did their production team not take the time to actually listen to the whole thing? Were they instructed to not report it by some higher power?
This information seems to be being ignored, a lot of evidence against the official story is actually. Why is this, what's going on here? If the ignorance is not intentional, then are these news outlets just that incompetent?
Intellihub has been on top of their game when it comes to the Las Vegas Shooting investigation. It's true investigative journalism. John Cullen of John E. Hoover on YouTube has also been a big component in investigating the Las Vegas Shooting. Many others have been involved too, and it's us doing true investigative work that'll make a difference in this investigation, and hopefully, journalism will return to it's honest hard working roots.
So ask yourself, did the LVPD and FBI falsify evidence after they realized they had not located the main shooter(s)? If they did, it's both a federal and Nevada state crime.
Put yourselves in those SWAT officers shoes. You get the call that the shooter is in room 32-135, it seems to be confirmed, then *BOOM* door is breached and you find your suspect dead on the ground with weapons and ammo everywhere. Initially those SWAT officers knew for a fact they had their guy, until they started looking around, and then went to the windows.
Two SWAT officers, on body cam footage, confirm there are no broken windows. Once that confirmation is relayed over police radio, there is silence in the room and a look of defeat on an officer's face. At that moment those officers knew Paddock wasn't the main shooter(s), and they wasted all that time zeroing in on Paddock, while the main shooter(s) fled the area, or so we know.
Keep searching and keep asking questions. Take a look at a previous Pulsar report on Las Vegas Shooting witness statements that seem to have been ignored.
June 12, 2018 has already been etched into the everlasting book of history. It was the first ever face to face meeting between sitting leaders of the United States and North Korea.
The meeting started at a little after 9:00AM, Singapore time, and lasted well into the afternoon. The summit consisted of two main meetings. One meeting was about 45 minutes long and just between President Trump and Kim Jong Un. The second was a bilateral meeting between President Trump, Kim Jong Un, and a few government officials from the US and North Korea.
At the end of it all, President Trump and Kim Jong Un signed a "Declaration of Friendship". Within that Declaration of Friendship there were certain agreements, which you may read here:
The signing of the agreement can be watched here per whitehouse.gov:
SO WHY IS THIS A WIN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP?
Let's pick at the low hanging fruit real quick, President Trump is the first ever sitting US president to have an in person meeting with a sitting dictator of North Korea. That right there gives President Trump points.
President Trump also clearly dominated the room. It was clear he was asserting himself as the alpha towards Kim Jong Un, and that he was coming into the summit from a position of strength. You could tell by the way President Trump talked and how he'd pat Kim on the back or slightly grab his arm from time to time. I don't think Kim was expecting that to be honest.
Now as for the agreement they signed. There isn't that much meat to it, but it is strategic in how the US laid it out. The US has simple demands here: denuclearization, POW/MIA recovery from the Korean War, peace between US and North Korea, and peace on the Korean Peninsula as a whole.
In the meantime, the US is going to suspend all war games and military drills on the Korean Peninsula. See, that's how deals go. You ask for something, but give something, in this case the US gave something very little, but very significant. North Korea wanted those drills to end to begin with.
Like any deal goes, if one end doesn't hold up their end of the bargain then there will be no deal. If North Korea doesn't commit to denuclearization or peace, then the US can very easily restart the war games and military drills and walk away from the table.
President Trump himself said there will need to be multiple meetings and many years to achieve the goals laid out. Denuclearization takes a while, but you need to start somewhere. Peace can start right away, but will need to be smoothed out over many talks and years as well.
The end game is capitalism, and eventually democracy in North Korea, that will take over a decade to achieve, but again, you need to start somewhere. President Trump showed Kim Jong Un a video of shots from around the USA, as well as what North Korea could potentially be like if they embrace western culture. South Korea did just that, and look where they are today.
If that end game is achieved, then there should no longer be a human rights crisis in North Korea. The citizens there will have a chance to live a long, healthy, and decent life. No more generation prisons or executions for watching western films, along with many other things.
Kim Jong Un knows all of this, he knows he has the weaker hand to play with, and he knows he has to play the game. He knows the world knows what his people are going through. If Kim starts shooting missiles off again, or continues to build nuclear weapons, it'll end badly for him and North Korea in general.
The US still has sanctions on North Korea, and Trump again put it out there for Kim, that if they honor their agreements, those sanctions can be lifted. That could open up to lifting the trade embargo, and potentially lead into doing what Trump suggested; hotels and condos on North Korean beaches.
Today, The Hill cited an AFP News Agency (@AFP) tweet that Kim Jong Un accepted President Trump's invitation to the White House. Allegedly Kim Jong Un invited President Trump to Pyongyang as well.
The Trump-Kim Summit was a big W for President Trump, and a big L for those against him. If those goals are all achieved, you can rewind back to where it all started, June 12, 2018 with President Donald J. Trump.

Repression of free trade unions in Belarus over the past decades culminated in 2022 with the dissolution of the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions (BKDP) and its affiliates and arrests and detention of more than 40 trade union leaders and activists, including BKDP President Yarashuk and Vice-President Antusevich.
In view of this escalation of repression of free trade unionism and the persistent failure of the Belarus regime to implement the findings of the 2004 ILO Commission of Inquiry, the forthcoming International Labour Conference (ILC) must agree to take action under Article 33 of the ILO Constitution:
- to pressure the Government to release trade union leaders and activists
- to insist that the Government reinstate the unions
- to demonstrate the Government’s real commitment to implement the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry
Click HERE to read the full Global Unions’ statement.
IUF General Secretary Sue Longley stated, “We urge all IUF affiliates around the world to press their governments and employers’ organizations to vote with the worker representatives at the ILC in support of a comprehensive set of measures involving the ILO bodies, Member States and international organizations, including the United Nations, to put an end to the flagrant violations of human rights and trade union rights in the country.”

Evidence of a Google-styled tablet has yet to be confirmed from Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) or anyone else, but it now seems likely the search giant is indeed launching a tablet in the mold of the “pure Google experience” Nexus smartphones sometime this year.
Outside Samsung’s Galaxy Tab lineup, Android tablets have yet to catch on.
Android creator Andy Rubin, who serves as senior vice president of mobile and digital content for Google, acknowledged at Mobile World Congress (MWC) that while there are more than 300 million smartphones running the open-source operating system, only 12 million tablets run Android to date.
According to The Verge, Rubin said at a press roundtable the 12 million number is “not insignificant, but less than I’d expect it to be if you really want to win.”
Winning might be the overly ambitious goal here when Google should simply try to compete first. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has sold some 55 million iPads to date and is gearing up to unveil the iPad 3 next month.
The problem, said Rubin according to The New York Times, is that consumers don’t view Android as a viable slate option when they “walk into a Best Buy and see a bunch of Android tablets on display.”
A common cause for failing devices is the cookie-cutter dilemma: There are dozens of tablets running some flavor of Android Honeycomb, but these devices have few distinguishing features. Compounding the issue is that there are very few Android applications tailored for tablets in Google’s Android Market, or any other application store.
Rubin also said that Google would “double down” on Android tablets in 2012. What does that mean exactly? Rubin declined to say, but it’s likely an allusion to the long-rumored Nexus tablet, which Google Chairman Eric Schmidt hinted at in December when he said Google was designing a tablet of “the highest quality.”
Google and hardware partners, such as HTC and Samsung, have designed Nexus smartphones.
The Nexus models include only software Google wants on them, meaning they eschew carrier bloatware. They’re also the first handsets to get new versions of the Android operating system. Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, for example, was the first Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) smartphone when it launched in December.
The most logical Nexus tablet partner choice would be Samsung, which Rubin acknowledged as enjoying a modicum of success.
It’s also possible, yet unlikely, Motorola Mobility is a Nexus tablet partner contender. Google is acquiring the OEM, so it would look especially suspect if Google started tapping it now of all times to be a Nexus partner.
Adding spice to the speculation are recent comments from DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim, who told CNET that the Google-branded tablet would have a 7-inch display with a 1,280 by 800 resolution. The device could go into production this April, with manufacturers pumping out 1.5 million to 2 million units.
