About the IEA Research Cooperation
Until the mid 1970's energy supply policy was a side issue for the industrialized nations: all the energy services needed could be provided with the fossil sources of energy available in the market.The oil crisis in October 1973 was a turning-point in national and international energy policies - for the first time the extent of dependence on the oil-exporting countries was revealed, and the security of the supply of energy in future seemed to be in jeopardy.
As a reaction to the crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) was set up in 1974 as an autonomous entity within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), with headquarters in Paris.
Austria is one of 16 founding members; today the IEA has 29 members (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA, UK).
The IEA is committed to advising on and coordinating national energy policy in the member states.
25. Mai 2021
The new Task "Empowering all: Gender in policy and implementation for achieving transitions to sustainable energy" of the IEA UsersTCP will be presented. This task will address gender as a factor on the user side and it aims to apply gender perspectives to support the participating countries in their work to design a more efficient and inclusive energy system.
09. - 11. June 2021
The conference will feature an impressive number of distinguished experts presenting the latest scientific and technological achievements, as well as future trends and prospects in thermal and electrical energy storage, materials, applications and systems, climate change, climate policies and other related disciplines.
8. - 10. September 2021
ERSCP21 will consider the possibilities to reduce the emission of climate-relevant gases during production as well as to reduce upstream emissions by changing consumer behavior. The topics discussed at the conference cover a number of UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The number of employers who are dissatisfied with school and college leavers’ basic skills remains stuck at around a third – the same as a decade ago – with 42 per cent reporting that they have had to provide remedial training for school and college leavers.
The latest CBI / Pearson Education & Skills survey of 542 organisations, employing around 1.6 million people, reports that 61 per cent of firms say school and college leavers have not developed the self-management skills they need for work while at school.
The persistence of this finding suggests that there are structural issues within our schools that need to be addressed if we are to ensure every young person gets a good start in life. The CBI has recently launched a major project designed to address this issue.
The survey also finds that as the UK competes ever more for business and talent in global markets, employers are looking to up-skill their workforces. Over the next three to five years, employers expect to need more people with leadership and management skills and other higher skills, whereas for lower-skilled workers, they expect to slightly cut numbers.
While half of employers are confident that they will fill their low-skilled vacancies, they are not confident of meeting their need for higher-skilled employees.
John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said: “The UK’s growth will depend on developing a wider and deeper pool of skills so that our economy can prosper in the face of fierce international competition for business.
“There is nothing more important to the future economic success of our country, and the lives of young people, than education.
“The foundations for the development of higher-level skills and the essentials for working life, that employers require, are laid at school.
“With the right start at school our young people can go on to have successful and fulfilling careers and have a strong base from which to learn more at college, university, or in the workplace.
“But levels of educational attainment are rising fast in many leading and emerging economies, so in the UK we must ensure that our education and skills system can continue to compete at the cutting edge.”
Rod Bristow, UK President of Pearson said: “The connection between education and the world of work is critically important. Employers and all of us working in education have a big task to address that connection properly. Despite improvements in the past decade, employers want to see an even sharper focus on literacy and numeracy, beginning at primary school. Literacy and numeracy are the basic building blocks that help young people learn other subjects, get on in life and find rewarding work.
“But it’s not just about literacy and numeracy. Even the best-performing nations say the number one issue in education is to better equip school leavers with the broader skills needed for working life, and we are no exception. Employers still find that some young people lack the initiative, problem-solving and communication skills to succeed at work.”
“But this survey should fuel optimism that the best and brightest firms are continuing to invest in education, work with schools and colleges and maintain their own investment in training.”
- Employers recognise that they have an important role to play helping students and schools understand what skills are needed for working life. More than a third have increased their engagement with schools in the past year
- 57 per cent have links with secondary schools
- 56 per cent with further education colleges
- But only 20 per cent with primary schools
One of the most important roles which half of all employers already carry out is providing careers advice, but it’s clear that more work needs to be done in this area, with 68 per cent saying that the general quality of advice is still not good enough. More than 60 per cent of respondents say they would like to play a greater role in delivering careers advice.
In other areas, more than two thirds of employers provide work experience to students and around a third of employees act as governors. The survey found that some of the barriers to stepping up business involvement include insufficient guidance and support on how to make work experience placements worthwhile, and onerous health and safety requirements.
When asked which areas of education they think primary schools should focus on, 61 per cent of employers said numeracy, 58 per cent writing, 45 per cent reading, and 42 per cent said communication skills. For secondary schools, employers say the main focus should be on developing broader skills for working life:
- Employability skills – 71 per cent
- Literacy – 50 per cent
- Numeracy – 45 per cent
But, the survey finds that no one current qualification addresses the combination of literacy, numeracy and employability requirements effectively. While employers think that for numeracy, GCSE maths is the best qualification, they say that vocational qualifications best equip young people with the broader employability skills.
Big growth in employer interest in ‘learn-while-you-earn’ approach
One in five jobs requires graduate-level skills, particularly in professional services. But most employers expect increases in tuition fees to change the market for graduate-level skills, with 30 per cent expecting to receive fewer graduate applications in the future. As a result, more than a third of firms expect to expand their recruitment of school leavers and / or apprentices with A-levels to provide an alternative to graduate-level training. Among the largest employers, with more than 5,000 staff, this figure rises to 68 per cent.
John Cridland said: “With extra pressure on student budgets from changes to tuition fees, more employers are stepping in to offer a range of innovative ‘learn while you earn’ routes to higher-level skills.”
Since the start of the Education & Skills survey five years ago, the number of businesses involved in apprenticeships has grown rapidly from 48 per cent to 63 per cent this year. More than half of employers say that they intend to expand their current apprenticeship programmes or plan to start providing apprenticeship places in the next three years. This is particularly encouraging in view of the end of government funding for programme-led apprenticeships and the need for all apprentices in the future to be sponsored by an employer.
Small and medium-sized companies are still a relatively untapped market for apprenticeships. While 89% of organisations with over 5,000 staff are providing apprenticeships in 2012, this figure falls to 22 per cent for firms with under 50 employees.
In terms of action required to get more employers involved in apprenticeships, respondents highlighted the following:
- Qualification programmes that are more relevant to business needs
- Government support for firms to train more apprentices than they need
- Greater flexibility for employers to design bespoke frameworks
- More suitably qualified and motivated young people applying
- Reductions in bureaucracy
In November, the Government announced measures to reduce the amount of red tape around apprenticeships, but so far only 6 per cent of employers say they have experienced a change.
In the face of challenging economic conditions, the vast majority of employers plan to maintain or increase their spending on training over the coming year, but there are major differences between sectors.
John Cridland said: “Even in the difficult economic climate, business leaders recognise the importance of training and skills to their success and are investing now for the future.
“It’s great news that apprenticeships are on the increase, but the system must be simplified to make it easier, especially for small and medium-sized firms to be involved. The Government has set out promising plans to cut red tape for apprenticeships, but we now we need to see urgent delivery on the ground.”
Recruiting staff with strong science, technology engineering and maths (STEM) skills will help underpin the UK’ ability to compete and achieve growth in many major sectors like manufacturing, construction and engineering. People with STEM skills are recruited at every level from apprenticeship entry (43 per cent), technicians (40 per cent) and graduates (53 per cent). But 42 per cent of firms struggle to find the STEM talent they require.
Businesses are well aware of the need to take steps to grow the talent pool of STEM skills, with 64 per cent taking some action to encourage young people to pursue STEM subjects. 42 per cent of organisations provide high-quality work placements, 39 per cent engage with schools to encourage pupils to study STEM subjects and 35 per cent provide STEM apprenticeships. More than two-thirds of employers think the Government can help future shortages by better promoting science and maths in schools, especially post-16.
Rod Bristow said: “Strong STEM skills will help UK companies to compete and deliver growth, so businesses are well aware that they have an important role to play in developing the talent required to meet their recruitment demands. The Government must also do more to promote science and maths study in schools.”

Chelsea stun Arsenal with late comeback
Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as the Blues fought back from an early deficit and scored twice late on to seal a dramatic victory against their London rivals.
[ MORE: Premier League schedule ]
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Arsenal ahead early on but the Gunners couldn’t build on that goal as Frank Lampard changed Chelsea’s formation and subbed on Jorginho after 30 minutes. That worked a treat as Jorginho equalized and then Tammy Abraham popped up with the winner late on.
With their first comeback victory of the season Chelsea remain in fourth place on 35 points, while Arsenal stay in 12th on 24 points after suffering their fourth home defeat in a row, which is the first time that has happened since 1959.
3 things we learned
1. Lampard’s brave switch pays off: Lampard knew the 3-4-3 wasn’t working and he was brave enough to admit it. He hooked off Emerson and brought on Jorginho with only 30 minutes gone and Chelsea wrestled back control of the game. Lampard may not persist with 3-4-3 for much longer unless he can buy a quality left wing-back in January. This was a big call from the young manager and it swung the game in Chelsea’s favor.
2. Arsenal fade badly after strong start: The Gunners were dominant early on and should have been at least 2-0 up, but they couldn’t build on it. Mikel Arteta was unlucky with injuries as Chambers was forced off in the first half and Mustafi came on and struggled. Arsenal’s players were applauded off for their effort but that will be of little solace as their hopes of a top four finish look all but over after Bernd Leno’s mistake and Mustafi’s poor positioning cost them dear.
3. Jorginho has huge, controversial impact: He came on in the first half and helped the Blues wrestle back control of the game but he could have been sent off in the second half. Jorginho picked up a yellow for a foul on Lacazette and should have had another. He then won a free kick cleverly and from that Leno’s mistake allowed him to equalize. Given the form of Kovacic and Kante, Jorginho has been the odd man out after a fine start to the season. Chelsea need the Italian midfielder back pulling the strings.
Man of the Match: N’Golo Kante - Helped Chelsea wrestle back control of the game and, as always, was everywhere. The Blues surged back and won the midfield battle and Kante had to be at his best to drive them on.
Arsenal came flying out of the traps and got their reward as they took the lead within the first 15 minutes.
A corner from the left was flicked on by Calum Chambers and Aubameyang reacted first to send home a diving header and make it 1-0.
It was all Arsenal early on as Ainsley Maitland-Niles played in Reiss Nelson who crossed into the box and Aubameyang set up Alexandre Lacazette but he couldn’t control the ball as N’Golo Kante arrived to clear.
Chambers was forced off with a knee injury as Skhodran Mustafi replaced him, as Chelsea improved the longer the first half went on and Lampard made an early tactical change as they switched from 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 with Emerson hooked off as Jorginho replaced him.
Matteo Guendouzi then appeared to pull Tammy Abraham down in the box but nothing was given and VAR wasn’t used to check the incident. Arsenal had a half chance just before the break but Aubameyang fired it into the side-netting as the Gunners were in control against their London rivals.
[ VIDEO: Premier League highlights ]
Kante had a low shot which flew wide at the start of the second half as Chelsea took the game to Arsenal in the second half.
A lengthy delay ensued after Antonio Rudiger and Mustafi clashed heads in the penalty box and the final stage of the games saw the Blues pin the Gunners back in pursuit of an equalizer.
David Luiz then blocked superbly as Abraham closed in on goal as Arsenal struggled to get out of their own half.
Abraham then sent a header straight at Bernd Leno as Chelsea wasted a good chance to equalize. Substitute Joe Willock then fired just wide as a glorious chance for Arsenal to wrap up the win came and went.
Chelsea then launched an incredible comeback as a free kick was missed by Leno and Jorginho tapped home to make it 1-1, and moments later it was 2-1 to the Blues.
Willian raced clear on the break and fed Abraham who turned and finished through Leno’s legs to make it 2-1 to the Blues as the away fans and Lampard went wild.
Lucas Torreira volleyed wide late on as Arsenal had a half chance to equalize but Chelsea held on to secure a big away win.

Sunday, May 5, 2013. A date that will live long in the memory for Newport County AFC as the Club returned to the Football League after a 25-year absence.
Led by the late great Justin Edinburgh, in his first full season in charge, the Exiles saw off Welsh rivals Wrexham 2-0 at Wembley thanks to goals from Christian Jolley and Aaron O’Connor to clinch promotion from the National League – then called the Conference Premier.
The Club are still going strong in SkyBet League Two having created many magical memories along the way, but what happened to the heroes from seven years ago?
Our focus this time moves onto David Pipe.
The former Wales U21 captain made over 200 appearances for County and is a legendary figure at the Club having been part of some of the most memorable moments in the club’s recent history.
Wales-born Pipe moved to Newport County in September 2011, after spells at Coventry City, Notts County and Bristol Rovers, as well as a loan move to Cheltenham Town.
After making his debut in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Braintree Town on September 17, Pipe became a mainstay in the team, despite Justin Edinburgh replacing Anthony Hudson as manager, making 34 appearances in the Conference Premier as the Exiles finished 19th, six points above the relegation zone.
His performances did not go unnoticed as he was named South Wales Argus Player of the Year and his season finished at Wembley, although it was a disappointing end as County were beaten 2-0 by York City in the FA Trophy final.
The former Wales international signed new terms with County that summer and was then named club captain following the departure of Gary Warren.
In their first season at Rodney Parade, Pipe led by example and was a reliable member of the team as he led the Club into the play-offs, making 41 league appearances. Once again, his efforts were rewarded, this time with a place in the Conference Premier team of the season, alongside Christian Jolley.
For the second season running, he finished the season at Wembley, this time with a place in the Football League at stake. It was a positive ending this time around as he lifted the play-off final trophy after County beat Welsh rivals Wrexham to seal promotion.
Pipe extended his stay to a third year in South Wales and helped County get off to the perfect start on their return to the Football League with an assist in a 4-1 victory over Accrington Stanley on the opening day of the season.
His physicality and determination made him a difficult man for attackers to get past but he also showed his value in the final third with a match-winning assist for current manager Michael Flynn in a 1-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.
The arrival of Ryan Jackson gave Pipe competition for a place in the team but the defender still made 29 appearances across all competitions between right back, centre back and defensive midfield.
However, he struggled for game time in the second half of the season and it was announced in February 2014, that he would be leaving the Club that summer.
On the expiration of his contract, Pipe moved to Forest Green Rovers where he was given the armband. A regular at The New Lawn, Pipe featured heavily throughout the campaign as Forest Green Rovers made it into the play-offs but missed out on the Wembley showpiece after losing to Bristol Rovers in the semi-finals.
Pipe was joined by former Exile Aaron O’Connor at Forest Green Rovers the following season and the pair played a vital role as the Club won their opening nine fixtures of the season. His first goal came in September, firing in an equaliser in a 2-2 draw with eventual champions Cheltenham Town.
Once again, Pipe demonstrated his versatility as he operated at full back, winger and central midfielder to guide Forest Green Rovers to another play-off finish. He played 22 minutes as they won the semi-final first leg against Dover Athletic before a 1-1 draw in the return leg booked their place in the final.
It was a game that Pipe had experienced before but he couldn’t prevent a 3-1 defeat to Grimsby Town. That proved to be his final game for the Club as he was released the next day.
The defender then joined up with fellow National League outfit Eastleigh but spent most of his time on the bench, making just nine appearances before a return to Rodney Parade in January 2017.
During his time away from the Club, he was inducted into the Newport County AFC Hall of Fame and he proved why he was loved by the fans on his return.
Pipe missed just two games – defeats to Mansfield Town and Leyton Orient – as County produced a remarkable comeback to avoid relegation and complete the Great Escape. After leading the Club to promotion to the Football League, he provided the assist to Mark O’Brien that kept them up.
He re-joined County on a permanent basis for the second time upon his release from Eastleigh.
Again, his versatility saw him ever-present under Flynn either in a three-man defence or at wing back. He made 43 appearances in 2017/18 – 35 of which came in League Two – as County finished comfortably in mid-table.
He was also a key part of the squad that impressed in the FA Cup, beating Championship side Leeds United and taking the Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur to a replay at Wembley before bowing out.
He signed a new deal to extend his stay but found minutes harder to come as Tyler Forbes, Regan Poole and Robbie Willmott challenged him for a place in the team but he still made an impact in another memorable season.
County once again took the FA Cup by storm beating Wrexham, Leicester City and Middlesbrough before welcoming Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to Rodney Parade in a fifth-round clash, which they went on to lose 4-1 – with two late goals adding gloss to the scoreline for the visitors.
He featured 19 times in the league as County in the 2018-19 season before annoucning retirement away at Macclesfield on Easter Monday, A true County legend.

text: Gait initiation (GI) from a quiet bipedal posture has been shown to be influenced by the emotional state of the actor. The literature suggests that the biomechanical organization of forward GI is facilitated when pleasant pictures are shown, as compared to unpleasant pictures. However, there are inconsistencies in the literature, which could be due to the neural dynamics of affective processing. This study aimed to test this hypothesis, using a paradigm whereby participants initiated a step as soon as they saw an affective picture (i.e., onset), or as soon as the picture disappeared from the screen (i.e., offset). Pictures were a priori categorized as pleasant or unpleasant, and could also vary in their arousing properties. We analyzed center-of-pressure and center-of-gravity dynamics as a function of emotional content. We found that gait was initiated faster with pleasant images at onset, and faster with unpleasant images at offset. Also, with offset GI the peak velocity of the COG was reduced, and subjects took smaller steps, with unpleasant images relative to pleasant images. The results are discussed in terms of current knowledge regarding temporal processing of emotions, and its effects on GI.

You may not remember me, but last spring I posted a lot about a 270wby Mark V that I was working with. Bought it used and replaced about everything except the scope and the action. I finally got it done (and shot a mulie with it) so I figured I would report back for those interested.
I ended up going whole hog and getting a 28" Krieger target barrel put on. It's not the super heavy one, but about the lightest target barrel they make. Plenty rigid for my needs. I got a Bell and Carson stock and had the smith who installed the barrel give it a super tight bedding job. I then took some padding and worked up the comb on the stock to where the scope is perfectly in line when I shoulder it.
All in all I'm very happy with it. With Weatherby factory ammo I can get it to shoot a little under an inch at 200yds (about 3/4" usually -if I haven't had too much coffee).
But the funny thing is how picky this gun is with ammo. It loves factory stuff, but I haven't found a reload that it even comes close to liking. Any reload I've tried groups well over 1.5" inches at 100yds. I'll probably work with it some this winter, more for curiosity's sake than anything. I don't really mind shooting factory, and the accuracy I'm getting is perfectly acceptable for my needs. I've just never had a gun that wouldn't shoot reloads. Usually it's the other way around. My guns won't shoot factory, but will always shoot sub-MOA once I find the right reload combo. Strange.
Anyway, the project's a success. It's a badass looking gun. I'll come back and post some pictures once I get my camera working again.
If you have a factory throat with 0.375 freebore then for reloads try some long bearing surface bullets such as the Accubonds. The longer bearing surface may help keep the bullet better aligned so it hits the lands straingt on.
Second, if you have never reloaded for a Wby case before, watch the neck and shoulder area. It is easy to shove the neck down into the shoulder. This decreases case capacity and causes erratic pressure / velocity.
Sounds like the gun likes a minimum size case for some reason. Might try full lenght sizing versus partial or neck.
Third, despite what is inscribed on the stone tablets, Fed 215s are a not always the best primer to use with a WBY. Most times but not always. Try a few CCI or Rem and see if it settles the load down.
In my Dad's factory 270 Weatherby, 73 gr of RL 22 under a 130 Barnes X or 74 gr under a 130 gr TSX gives 3390 and 3464 fps respectively. Every load fired has been logged, and with 27 of them down the barrel, the average group is still under 1/2 MOA. About 0.42 to be exact. The TSXs just shoot a 1/2 higher. This particular rifle will not shoot 150s under 3 inches yet. I have tried RL 22, IMR 7828, IMR 4831, MagPro and AA8700. Never found a load that it will shoot with 150 gr bullets. I would like to try H1000.
Yeah, I probably should have been more specific. I've actually had a similar experience. I've had a couple of 130gr loads that shot pretty well. It's the 150s that I haven't found a good one for yet. I've wanted to shoot the heavier 150gr load, so I haven't really looked at the 130s that closely.
But I haven't done as well as 1/2 inch with the 130s, so I'll take a look at the load you mention.
My Weatherby's really like Lee Collet dies and neck sizing only. The lighter bullets do seem more accurate in mine. They all shoot better than 1/2 with certain loads. Try some 130 grain triple shocks with a 74 grains of MR-7828 to start. It ought to get them out around 3500 to 3600 at a max load with the longer 28" barrel and it out to be tight shooting. Minimum load with the 7828 is 70 grains. Just seat to the magazine box whatever feeds well. For the same bullet Barnes with RL-25 it calls out 73.5 min and 78.5 max. Both these powders really turn it on in the longer barrels. When my Accumarks grow up they are all getting 30" barrels.
Let's see some pictures. I go crazy over tricked out Weatherby's.
BTW. I was reading your old posts. I have not had any trouble getting super fine sub 16 ounce triggers out of any Mark 5. No creep or spongyness here.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has announced that it plans to conduct a surveillance solely focussed on milk and milk products.
Is the milk that we drink pure or is it adulterated? We have often pondered the answer to this question, and now, we may get some clarity. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has announced that it plans to conduct surveillance solely focused on milk and milk products. In a statement released on May 25, the country’s food regulator stated that it would conduct a nationwide survey to curb adulteration of milk and milk products. The pan-India effort will focus on milk and milk products like khoa, chhena, paneer, ghee, butter, curd and ice cream as per the press release. Samples will be collected from both organised and unorganised sectors in all states and Union territories across the country.
So, why did FSSAI pick milk to conduct the nationwide survey? “The rationale behind choosing milk is due to its indispensable role in our food culture either as a fresh fluid or as processed dairy products. Milk contains vital micronutrients and macronutrients. People of every age group include milk or milk products in their daily diet. Changing lifestyle patterns and increasing health consciousness are the key growth drivers for milk and milk products in India,” stated FSSAI.

FSSAI’s objective is to assess the milk and milk products sold in the country for compliance with quality and safety parameters, to identify adulteration hotspots, and devise corrective actions or strategies based on the results and suggest a way forward.
Previously, FSSAI conducted pan-India milk surveys in 2020 and 2022 as well. Milk was tested for pesticide residues, heavy metals and antibiotics. The outcomes of these surveys stated that milk was largely safe for consumption in these states.

A writer begins an extraordinary journey with their very first novel. The first one is the learning curve and marks the very first steps into a world of organized creativity and storytelling to the masses. Alda Sigmundsdóttir’s first novel, Unraveled, is a damn good start.
Unraveled is the story of Frida Lowe, previously Fríða Jóhannsdóttir, a woman in search of herself and for a place to call home.
After a somewhat unhappy childhood in the little city of Reykjavík, Frida escapes to the grand city of London to live out her dream but instead falls in love with a handsome and somewhat older British diplomat.
The author opens with an irresistible introduction of the main character Frida and her husband, the UK Ambassador to Iceland, Damien Lowe. A stunning couple with little left to say to one another.
Frida Jóhannsdóttir did not have the happiest of childhoods and was burdened with a strong sense of shame as a child. Her departure is an escape from a past from which she wants to cut loose, and to make a happier life for herself where she is but another stranger on the crowded streets of a big city where everybody is invisible.
The young woman so full of shame becomes a diplomat’s wife and after more than a decade away, she is back in Iceland, not as the insignificant Frida Jóhannsdóttir but the sophisticated and worldy Frida Lowe, a wife to the British Ambassador.
Now returned to her native Iceland as a woman of prestige, she is neither Icelandic nor British. Her surname is British and even her first name anglicized.
What came as a surprise to me was that in distinguishing between Frida Lowe and the Icelandic Frida Jóhannsdóttir, her first name continues to be written in the anglicized way, rather than the standardized Icelandic spelling that is ‘Fríða’ (meaning ‘beautiful’).
It seems oddly appropriate to have been asked to review Unraveled. Like the protagonist, I too am married to a man whose roots and background are distant to my own humble roots in Iceland.
One of the book’s primary themes is the topic of belonging. The sense of belonging to one place and also to another. Whether in Iceland or elsewhere, the semi-detached sense of belonging to one’s native culture is compromised by a new sense of belonging to your partner’s. Both experience a change in perception.
Alda’s international background—having spent many years abroad—shines and enables her to accurately portray the predicament of belonging and not belonging.
The author tells the story of Frida and how she rediscovers her Icelandic identity in a sequence of events that all spin from a dramatic discovery in the beginning of the novel.
The storyline is captivating and makes it hard to put the book down. The 214 page novel is easily read in one succession, and the author keeps the reader interested from the very first page through to the last.
The novel feels genuinely Icelandic and for the foreign readership, Alda also provides an insight into turbulent times in Iceland’s history. She portrays the atmosphere in the wake of the economic crisis in Iceland, and the deeply fractured national character following the collapse of the banking system in October 2008.
Alda—who was born in Iceland, raised in Canada and has lived in the U.K., Cyprus and Germany—is both critical and sympathetic to the faults and plights of Icelanders in 2008, and that’s what makes the background story as interesting as Frida’s personal meltdown and return to self.
The characterization of Frida is a bit of a diversion from the image so commonly depicted of Icelandic women as the self-assured and independent (and often professional) woman.
The passage Frida takes in her self-discovery is to the rural most corner of Iceland, the West Fjords where fjords, cliffs and steep mountain walls hold the local population in hostage during worst of times, and inspire greatness in the best of times.
Like the power of the sea, the natural wonder that encircles us throughout the year, both in relentless rage or gentle passive strides while drawing lines and curves in the sand.
For Frida, Icelandic nature is a source of empowerment, a return to a time when she was obliviously happy and felt loved.
Setting the story in 2008, creates a paradigm between the protagonist private meltdown and Iceland’s economic meltdown. Together with a spirit reinforced by Icelandic nature and the daunting disillusion as the era of ‘great’ banking comes to an end, Frida finds her purpose in life and maybe even a place to call home.
The novel is not without faults but few can be credited to the author. Explanations of Icelandic phenomena are quite detailed in one or two places and in my opinion, momentarily pulls the reader away from the story; I would have liked to see it explained in context with the story.
While reading the book, I came across a couple of typos but generally none too severe that it disrupted my reading.
All in all, Unraveled is a lovely summer read that also helps to shed some light on Icelandic society in the wake of the economic crisis.
Unraveled is published by Enska textasmiðjan and available in Icelandic bookstores and on amazon.com.


After the tragic news on Wednesday (March 1) that the remains of a baby were found in Brighton woodlands, a number of tributes have been left for the infant by SussexLive readers. The baby, who police have now confirmed was a girl, was found almost 48 hours after the arrest of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon in Stanmer Villas, Brighton on Monday (February 27).
Directly after the arrest, when it became clear the baby was not present, an "urgent search operation" was launched, which ended almost 48 hours later. The local community, and everyone involved in the search, were left "truly devastated" by the outcome, with an "outpouring of sorrow" being felt across the area.
SussexLive opened a book of condolence for readers who wished to write their tributes to the infant. Dozens have been left in the days since from across Sussex and the UK.
One reader said: "RIP little one, sleep soundly, never forgotten and loved by so many". While another added: "There are no words, rest in peace little one, the angels will look after you now."
Members of the public have also gathered near the scene in Brighton over the last few days to pay tribute to the child. A number of floral tributes have been left, alongside candles, teddy bears and notes of condolence.
One of the moving notes left near the scene read: "Darling little baby, you will always be remembered." Another mourner wrote: "Taken away to soon. Fly high sweetheart".
A vigil was also held by members of the local community for the baby, who police say they were told was called Victoria. The moving vigil saw members of the local community gathered by the tributes, with candles lit in remembrance of the child.

With our recognized leadership in applying legal service and technology innovation.
The proposed Digital Personal Data Protection has seen a major shift in its applicability over publicly available personal data. The 2022 version of the Bill allowed the processing of publicly available personal data without exclusive consent if it was of public interest. The interpretation of the “personal interest” in the Bill was quite strict to allow Data Fiduciaries to use it as a loophole to process publicly available personal data without consent.
However, the latest 2023 version takes a contrary approach that comes as welcome news for the businesses involved in profiling and processing personal data. The Bill explicitly states that it does not apply to the processing of publicly available personal data. However, it does not define what publicly available personal data constitutes. Importantly, the business could face severe penalties if the personal data was not “publicly available” but processed under this purview. A global perspective may shed some light until the law is clearly laid in the form of rules.
The California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA 2.0), defines “publicly available information” as
“Information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records, or information that a business has a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by the consumer or from widely distributed media, or by the consumer; or information made available by a person to whom the consumer has disclosed the information if the consumer has not restricted the information to a specific audience. “Publicly available” does not mean biometric information collected by a business about a consumer without the consumer’s knowledge.”
Implying, that the information available on the social media of a user can be utilized without disclosing to the user as publicly available information. However, it should not be limited to a a “specific audience” which means that social media has to the public for undisclosed or unconsented processing.
The Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s body to enforce privacy rights (including GDPR) provides that publicly accessible sources include social media, open electoral register, etc.
Thereby, it is safer to assume that the personal information that is made available by the government to the public and the personal information shared by a Data Principal in the public domain with no restriction can be considered “publicly available personal data” under the 2023 version of the Bill, until further clarifications are provided by the government.

I am possibly losing my mind or something but I have decided to start cold steeping things that might be horribly bad cold. But really the idea of cold steeped oolong was fascinating so I did this one and I’m letting this other one steep a whole day first.
So this one steeped about 14 hours and I actually like it a lot better cold than hot. Weird. It was just orange to me before. I get the oolong now, and a nice woodsy taste, even the leather mentioned in the description.
Thanks for working so well like this, Orange Blossom Oolong, you have now opened up a whole new world of crazy ideas to spill next….muahahahaha.

Being Someone You’re Not
WE ARE ALL FIRST TIMERS IN THE GAME OF LIFE. Being rookies, we are doing the best we possibly can given our present circumstances. One impediment we do have to playing the game adeptly though is that we are made vulnerable to the opinions and judgments of others.
We’re inclined to take notice of other people’s opinion of us whether it’s by a remark, sly look or gesture… and especially so when it’s negative. Gullibly, we take their judgments of us to heart, unquestioningly accepting it as being what sort of person we must be.
Depending on what company we are in, friends, strangers, the work place etc, we will automatically adjust our behaviour accordingly so that we can ‘fit in’ with what we believe that particular person or group of people thinks and expects of us. We are all locked into this inane mindset of trying to be someone we’re not.
We are completely unaware that the way we interact with people is totally misconstrued and the opinions and judgments that we subconsciously hold about ourselves (garnered mostly from others) are only second hand, fragmented perceptions that we mistakenly take as being the truth about who we are.
“An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negative
opinions of others can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside of you.”
The problem is you are identifying with the opinions of others as being who you are. It’s not! You are a completely different person to what other people think. Don’t identify with them! Watch the thoughts and feelings which parade through your mind, especially when confronted by negative slurs on your character, but don’t say ‘I’ to them.
You must not identify yourself as being who ‘they’ think you are. This impersonal approach breaks the destructive habit of falsely labelling yourself as someone you’re not. Your okay just as you are, so try being exactly that, no matter what company you are in…
Dan’s Quote: “It’s not who you are that holds you back.
______________It’s who you think you’re not.”

EDUCATION is the foundation upon which a prosperous and equitable society is built.
Held for the twelfth time, the ‘Back to School’ programme by Kompleks Bukit Jambul (KBJ) JMB aided some 100 needy pupils at its shopping complex today.
The programme, which was jointly organised by the Batu Maung assemblyman service centre, was aimed at alleviating the financial burden of underprivileged families by providing school supplies for their children and other basic necessities.
KBJ JMB chairman Azmin Sadaruddin said the theme for the programme was ‘KBJ CSR Back to School 2023’.
“We thank the sponsors for joining in our effort to make this programme a success.
“Special thanks to Top Fashion, OGC Leather Store, Kedai Emas Bong Loh Soon, Butik Mahakarya, Butik Ronna Rnt, McDonald’s, Bread R Us, Deejah Rahman, Rdinie and Mydin Hypermarket Bukit Jambul.

State Entrepreneurial Development, Trade and Industry Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain said the cost of living has increased.
“Thanks to the joint collaboration between my service centre and KBJ JMB, and the strong support of the sponsors, we are able to organise this programme to help needy pupils.
“We hope that the pupils will study hard and excel in their studies,” he said.
The pupils took part in a colouring contest in the morning and were treated to a children-friendly movie on television. Breakfast and lunch were also provided.
Also present were KBJ JMB management operation committee chairman Datuk KH Chan and KBJ general manager Crystal Wong.

Finding out the best places to do your grocery shop is a personal choice of…
There’s a world of diets that make us healthier, slimmer or both.
How about a diet for our planet? Tofu, nuts, pulses and avocados are all great sources of protein. These also have a low impact on the planet, especially compared to meat. Easy, let’s all become vegan or vegetarian.
Not so easy. According to the company Australian Eat Well, recent studies show that between 2 and 5% of Australians are vegetarian. That’s why there’s more to this conversation than just not eating meat. How about trying a middle road. You can choose food that treads lightly on the earth, without excluding meat.
More vegetarian meals
The meat-free Monday movement tries to get people thinking about eating vegetarian once a week. You could try for three or four meat-free evening meals each week. Have you thought about the Indonesian dish, Gado Gado with a solid protein offering of delicious peanut sauce, boiled eggs and tofu as well as lots of veggies and potatoes? Most young kids love plain eggs on toast, with steamed veggies – so quick and easy. As the springtime blossoms, you could also try minestrone soup, a complete meal that’s packed with spring veggies, chickpeas and potatoes.
Many vegetarian meals incorporate eggs. You can get them ethically by keeping your own backyard chooks. If keeping chooks isn’t for you, then try some of the great free-range, local egg producers around Canberra. Choice, the consumer organization, recently published an article on the huge variation between ‘free range’ egg producers. If you’re after ethical eggs, look for open range or pastured eggs, as these labels generally have less chickens per area than free range eggs.
Less cheese you say? It doesn’t seem right. Cheese is such a yummy source of protein. Unfortunately, because of the large amount of milk used to make cheese, and the methane produced by milking cows, cheese has a higher greenhouse impact than chicken or pork. Sounds crazy, but the case against cheese is based on research from the Environmental Working Group, a reputable NGO.
Think of fish
Fish can be the most sustainable animal protein. It also contains a heap of great proteins from a nutritional perspective. If you want local fish, head to the EPIC Farmer’s Market and check out three suppliers of ocean fish from the South Coast. You might also like to try the local smoked trout too.
If you can’t make it to the farmer’s market, then make sure your fish was caught in Australian waters. The Australian Fisheries Management Authority is a world leader in sustainably managing fish stock. Buying Australian also minimises food miles. Like to know more? There’s a sustainable fish guide for Australians, run by the Australian Marine Conservation Society, and available online.
If you’re going to eat a little meat, then you can think about choosing local and ethically raised options. Chicken has a lower impact on the planet than lamb or beef. So, if you can, substitute chicken for red meat. If you’re after the best chicken, try free range or even better, pastured chicken. Pastured chicken has a totally different flavour to free range, you’ve got to try it to know.
There’s great local meat on offer in Canberra because we’re surrounded by meat producing farms. There are fantastic offerings of biodynamic, organic and local meat at the Belconnen Eco Meats or the EPIC Farmer’s market.
Embrace the planet diet and eat your way to a healthier you and a healthier planet.

I was thinking and praying the other day about my relationships with my children, when a thought occurred to me. Our relationships with our children really teach us how to interact with people and truly care for others. I always think of that expression, Jesus First, Others Second, Yourself Last. It is so hard to do that. I want what I want and I want it now!
I think this is one of our current social issues. Most people I've encountered are very concerned about themselves and how things affect them, most of the time myself included. We don't usually mean it though. I think a great majority of people don't walk around all day thinking everything is about them. For me, I'm in my head a lot, always thinking, always contemplating and trying to figure things out. In some ways, its a good thing because I learn why I do things and what makes me do them. In other ways, I over analyze just about everything.
I have five children and I see selfishness every day in their interactions with each other and with my husband and I. They don't even know that they are selfish. We are born with a selfish nature. In some ways, it protects us from harm, but in other ways it can cause harm. If we are always more concerned about what we want or how we feel, we can ruin relationships with others, we can miss out on opportunities to help others, to support others and most importantly to witness to others.
Jesus stated in Matthew 22:35b, "You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself." It isn't easy to love others when you don't think about others. Some might even say that it is nigh impossible. Jesus was responding to a question about which commandment is greatest commandment, "You Shall Love the LORD Your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." followed by loving your neighbor as yourself. Hence, J.O.Y, Jesus First, Others Second, Yourself Last.
This is just something I've been pondering the last few days and weeks. It is so easy, at least for me, to get all caught up in my own "troubles". Does anyone else ever think about this? I'd love your comments.

St. Paul >Food & Dining > Old Country Buffet
2120 Ford Parkway, St. Paul, MN | Directions 5511644.917879 -93.189955
Come Hungry – This is a nice, clean buffet. I'm always surprised at the variety of foods, particularly meats: the often have steak, shrimp, and such. They also have an impressive salad bar. Each day and each night has a different menu, so you can go often and not get bored.
Self-service restaurant satisfies budget-conscious families with all-you-can-eat, all-American home-style cooking. – In Short
A strip-mall mainstay throughout U.S. suburbs, this buffet-style restaurant caters to ravenous families who pay a flat per-head fee for all the comfort food they can chow down. Serving stations present everything from fried chicken to shrimp scampi, macaroni and cheese to steamed veggies. A do-it-yourself dessert bar allows diners to make their own sugary indulgence from a supply of brownies and cakes, syrupy toppings and multiple flavors of soft-serve ice cream.
Not your Vegas Buffet – My wife and I had been in Vegas, where we went to a couple of buffets. That was last summer and we were feeling a bit nostalgic for a buffet. Since the OCB was close, we figured what the heck. Yeah, it ended up being a bad idea. As you can imagine, it was a lot of random items sitting under heat lamps. The mac and cheese was so bad and runny that it ruined everything else on my plate, which I concluded had already been ruined. The fried chicken was edible, and I did really like the dessert bar, but I think it will be some time before I forget how bad this place really is.
A real meal deal – A quick and varied lunch at least once a month satisifies my appetite. For under $8 (with tax) to get a lunch with a choice of salad, entree and dessert and different drinks with each course is great deal. I usually do water, diet Sprite, then decaf coffee. And I'm so happy they have something diet other than Coke or Pepsi. Everything tastes great, and I control the portions. For weekday lunches, seating has always been immediate.

How To Plant Milkweed Seeds From Pods. A fellow monarch conservation specialist, candy sarikonda, put out this youtube video describing this method in detail. Adding sand and/or vermiculite to the mix could also increase your success rate for milkweed cuttings.
Although the pods look different the method will be the same. Collect milkweed seeds in late fall when the seed pods are brown and open, or green and easy to pop open.
