Another Way To Think About Buying Music…
The traditional reasoning for buying music used to be “if you want to hear something you like, whenever you want, you need to buy it”. Well, that reasoning doesn't really exist anymore—especially when talking about digital music. We can now hear whatever we want, whenever we want, for the low cost of usually nothing.
Of course, if you want something to spin on your record player or pop into the tape deck, you're gonna have to shell out some money for the physical artifact—but what if you just want listen to music on the computer camera in your pocket? What if you already pay a monthly fee for a streaming service and have fairly successfully blocked from your mind the fact that most artists only get a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the $9.99 you're giving to the Spotifys of the world? What if late capitalism has its foot on your neck and a dollar saved is really like a dollar earned?
Well, here's the little thought experiment I often ask myself when cruising the streets of Bandcamp and thinking those same thoughts…
If I were in a pub or coffee shop with the person/people responsible for the excellent music currently filling my headphones, would I offer to buy them a pint or coffee? If they asked me if I could spot them a couple bucks, would I do that?
I don't know about you, but if I'm out drinking with a buddy, it's a very common practice to say “this one is on me”. And my buddy doesn't even know what a G-chord looks like. Of course, I do this noble gesture of buying the round partly because my buddy has done or will do the same for me, but mostly—what's a couple of bucks between pals?
So, with that in mind, and with the distance between an artist and fan being closer than ever, what better way to figuratively say “this one is on me” than by sending over a round of financial support to someone making some of the art you use to help improve your day? It doesn't matter if the artist is not actually your friend (but if they are your actual friend than we shouldn't even be having this talk). This hypothetical human has taken the time to share their thoughts and feelings and stories via the magic of art, and if they've done it in a way that resonates with your heart and mind and gets your toes tapping & soul buzzing—well that is at least on the same level of having one of those rare deep conversations or memorable nights out with one of your IRL friends that can often lead to celebratory friendship pint or coffee.
When you add in the fact that buying music on a site like Bandcamp will see most of the money going directly to the artist —and you could consider the % Bandcamp takes as the tip you'd leave the friendly barkeep, and what beautiful barkeep Bandcamp is— opening your digital wallet to make an "appreciated gesture" rather than a "personal purchase" feels like a healthier way to think about these things.
So next time you find yourself genuinely enjoying something that has a 'Buy' button you're trying not to make eye contact with, ask yourself the question:
“Would I buy them a pint/coffee if they were here in person?”
Because when you look past the music you're enjoying and realize that there are people on the other side of the digital curtains making that music out in the real world—and they're going about their day-to-day just like you, struggling with the same day-to-day struggles you do—doesn't sharing a metaphorical pint/coffee sound nice?
And artists, consider the same analogy when someone buys your music. If you reverse the scenario, there are people a lot like you on the other side of the digital curtains buying your music and listening to it out in the real world (and they're going about their day-to-days just like you, struggling with the same day-to-day struggles you do). The fact that they've decided to actually buy your music, when it'd be so easy not to, that means something. So take a minute and say thanks when possible.
Because it's one thing when somebody metaphorically buys an artist a pint for the trouble of filling their head with a beautifully soundtracked internal dialogue, but there still needs to be a “cheers” involved for the circle to be truly complete.

I'll guide Everton into Europe! Fer bullish after completing £8.6m switch from Twente
Leroy Fer yesterday set his sights on helping Everton return to Europe after he completed an £8.6million move from Twente.
The Holland international, 23, has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract after Everton boss David Moyes spent a week working on the deal to land the midfielder.
Fer, who started his career at Feyenoord, took a private jet from Rotterdam yesterday afternoon.
Jet set: Fer (left), with agent Rob Jansen and girlfriend Xenia
A WARM WELCOME
Everton's Johnny Heitinga on Twitter: 'Leroy #Fer is an athletic dynamic midfielder with great skills! He plays for the Dutch national team and will make #Everton stronger. #COYB'
‘Everton are in the top five at the moment and they have a real chance of playing in Europe next season,’ said Fer. ‘Since I was a young boy, I have always wanted to play in the English Premier League.
‘And now the fact that I am going to do it with one of the biggest teams in the Premier League makes this move even more special.’
Fer, whose strapping physique earned him the nickname ‘The Bouncer’ in Holland, hit the headlines last year after splashing out £22,000 on a pet horse for his girlfriend — only to realise that she couldn’t keep the stallion because she lived in a block of flats.
Everton boss Moyes may yet add to his squad before the transfer window closes on Thursday night.
He needs cover at right back and is looking at Sam Byram of Leeds and Barnsley’s John Stones.
Concern: Fer's arrival casts more doubts over the long-term future at Goodison Park over Marouane Felliani

Frustration over the slow pace of reopening for elementary schools came to a head in Berkeley on Saturday morning with a rally in front of City Hall.
Although the Berkeley Unified School District was given permission from health officials to reopen its elementary schools in October, the district determined that its schools weren’t ready to resume in-person learning just yet.
Dr. Jeanne Noble, a parent and UCSF physician, spoke during the rally, saying that with proper safety measures in place it can be safe to reopen classrooms.
"Teachers and the education decision makers need to realize that masks and social distancing are on par with the effectiveness of the upcoming vaccines." She believes that "the state needs to mandate school opening."
"School is the essential business of childhood," explained Dr. Nobel.
She and many parents believe the district has been missing key opportunities.
"We need to communicate to our school leaders," Dr. Noble added "that we have the tools in our hands right now prevent the transmission of COVID."
District officials said there’s still more work to be done to get schools ready, including securing more tests for school staff. Superintendent Brent Stephens told KCBS Radio the goal is to be ready to reopen elementary grades in January.
"So I see far more agreement between the district and the parent protesters than disagreement," Stephens said.
Officials have pointed out that limited reopening has already taken place.
Other parents still oppose reopening.

RPG gameplay is basically divided into battle , discover, collect and develop these categories . Whether to upgrade or update spaceship fighter , gameplay is always pretty much the same . In a networked game , there are usually more ” brush ” activities. Players to join the guild , the game becomes more like team sports or expanded war.
In all of these games are played , the battle is considered the most important. It is these brandished a knife and sword , magic spells , and the like shooting bomb battle to become the basis for other mechanisms . If you reach your destination , why explore? If you do not have access , why collect loot ? Who would you play the game ?
Degradation of the game is to point gamers obtain more than the contribution to the players of the game . Degenerate gambling game is a typical example of the game , because winning is necessarily casino. In that context, most game designers are in favor of poker is a game, but they are also difficult to authorized slot machine games. These designers gambling problem is not with the game between the economic models are similar, but the gameplay is so different activities .
Slot machine tells us a profound truth : the player is more than we imagined irrational . Players usually contented in their own choice, “near victory ” feeling and the actual winning feeling they have the same stimulating effect. Them with their favorite game has an internal communication , they began to believe in luck , signs and so on. Their values and those of us cool professionals thought was different.

Emotional diagram of can be as simple , you can put some detail into the various levels of emotional fragments . Remember, no plot of the story is basically only one kind of mood, and horror games usually crescendo of tension and panic completely fluctuated between oscillation. Because these levels are prototypes , so the final result is bound with the program a little way out. Throughout the model and prototype stage , the designer should modify the schedule according to artists , managers must constantly update the game schedule and confirm level context diagram and emotional match . By continuing phase extraction grid model generated from the new mechanism , and do it again at any level in order to prepare and adjust , you can not bind the creative production staff level in the case of the game plan to maintain market balance .
Often, however, the situation is that the game should convey what kind of mood or tone , the player should experience at some point what kind of mood, each team member will understand this a little differently. So, when each member of the development team in the game to convey the mood of a slightly different information, why so many games are not touched by the player , is not surprising.
If the game has exactly the same for all levels of play mixed mode , the player will soon get bored . But if the majority of checkpoints require players to walk , and then allow the use of a few of transport barriers as an embellishment , it will make the whole experience more fresh , thus maintaining the players interest. Same game design, but two emotions map generating a completely different game experience. When the entire team to accept this mood map, and put it into their carefully crafted every element and every decision, it will be able to successfully convey these feelings to the players .
Constantly make use of the stalagmites for hiding from the lessers while varying them (they’re quite big for the holes you need to acquire through, plus npcs could easily acquire stuck). When you eliminate one go pick your arrows and graft up.
Lessers are the very best monsters to educate versus going through and investment-wise till level 70 ranged. If you do not like them after that you can train against guards, moss giants, or other creatures, but this is my suggestion for the fastest means to level up.1-19 magic.
Due to the fact that it will certainly constantly cost the most cash and you will require your ranged loot to pay up for the runes, keep in mind to train magic last. For degrees 1-19, initially buy a collection of all the personnels and train with your toughest battle spell until you reach degree 19. You can learn Varrock sewage systems against giant rats, however it doesn’t actually matter (just do not believe that you have 70 magic as well merely because your ranged level is that higher).19 -39 miracle.

Now you ought to have a great set of for your varied level. Put on a natural leather coif, a strength amulet, natural leather physical body, environment-friendly dragonhide chaps, eco-friendly dragonhide vambraces, a maple shortbow, a cape, 1000 bronze arrowheads, and boots. Purchase 500 red wine and utilize the remainder (leave some money in case you need it) on bronze arrowheads then head towards Port Sarim with 60 coins and a stock loaded with red wine (you won’t need strike levels for varied, lol). Go on the ship to Karamja and head towards the volcano. Discover a split to enter the volcano and head left then south to level-82 lower daemons.
Now you have two main options. The first one is to educate curse (level-19) with warrior’s shield which continuously makes it splash, and the second is to train fighting spells (utilise planet strike to save cash), although affliction will conserve a lot more cash than fighting spells, and it will not cost any kind of runes.39-55 magic
This time you have another alternative: to use collapse undead. Crumble undead is just one of the fastest ways to level up on free of charge globes without making use of much money and it is certainly more recommended than the various other 2. If you still wish to educate with curse, you absolutely can, although this could obtain extremely tiring. Fire bolt saves a great deal more hitting on non-members yet still sets you back additional (collapse undead could strike maximum 15s on undead: zombies, apparitions, and so on).55 -70 miracle
Since you could cast high alchemy I recommend you utilize this to educate for the rest of . The reason you must not make use of fire good time the split second you transform degree 59 is due to the fact that it could quickly fall short with a reduced magic level and it costs a whole lot each cast. It is extremely helpful that you not use it for combat up until degree 70 miracle or it will certainly not do much as you desire it to.
Now that you have reached your objective, you can proceed training ranged till you could hit higher, or merely go pking in bounty Hunter (the latter is a lot even more enjoyable, ftw!). Bear in mind, although you are very much unyielding, there is still a chance that you will be teamed on, so pking with a companion is something you need to do! Hope you can enjoy Buy Runescape Gold as long as you want while playing runescape.

PvP combat will be performed in some controlled mini games and in the area Wilderness. In this Duel Arena players are allowed to stake items and money, while the other PvP games provide particular rewards of their own. Players are able to engage in the combat provided that the combat levels of them fall with a range of each other in Wilderness, and once a player successfully kill his opponent he can claim the items of the opponent as rewards.
We are leading of Runescape Power Leveling and Runescape 2007 Gold provider.
After December 2007, Wilderness was altered to stop gamers from transferring real world money and in-game items. Then the PvP combat got removed from Wilderness and restricted temporarily to the new mini games Clan Wars and Bounty Hunter. Bounty Hunter then was replaced by the Bounty Worlds where players will be confined to Wilderness and can be assigned certain targets to kill. The PvP worlds were then introduced in 2008 in which players can fight anywhere in the Gielinor. However, these and the Bounty Worlds eventually were removed at the time Wilderness restored.
The basic training method is to visit a wisp colony appropriate to your level and to click on a wisp. This will stop the wisp moving, and convert it to a spring. Then, click on the spring to start gathering memories and energy.
Spring can be harvested by players at one time. So don’t worry about competition. Memories will accumulate in your inventory as you harvest the springs. You can convert them to Divination XP or energy. Energy will be collected as you harvest wisps. Then you can use energy to create the useful items related to the skill, as well as in the next production skill. Or you can deposit them at the crater, then you will have three options: Experience, Enhanced Experience, Energy. But energy and memories come in tiers, so you should train at the highest-level wisp colony that you’re able to. You also can use your gathered energy for Portents, Signs, Boons, Divine Locations, Transmutation, Dungeoneering.
Gather the energy and memories of a slain god over 99 levels of auspicious skilling. Make useful new signs and portents; transmute resources to better ones; and conjure bountiful divine locations for you and your friends to harvest. Conquer the all-new hiscore board and blaze a trail to the prestigious Cape of Divination!

Yesterday Patrick Elkins finally gave in and agreed to answer questions from City leaders and members of the press concerning the local pagan holiday he presides of over… Totally Awesome Fest. Several in our community, it would seem, had been pressing him for information about the event, which every year grows not only larger in scope, but also exponentially more strange. So, yesterday evening, Patrick stood majestically in front of Ypsilanti’s historic Thompson Block, protected behind an army of skateboard-wielding hooligans, and gave his fellow Ypilantians a glimpse of what he has in mind for this year’s multi-venue cultural happening… The annual celebration of spring, now in it’s 11th year, said Elkins, would run without stop for 55 hours, beginning at 8:00 AM on April 24. And, he promised, it would be weird… Here is the video.
I was particularly intrigued to hear of the multi-species basketball tournament planned from Prospect Park… In addition to basketball, there will be music, poetry, films, speakers, puppetry, clothing, food, parades, and much more, all held at various locations around Ypsilanti. And, as always, it will all be all-ages, free, and super fun.
If this year is like years past, maps to secret venues will be left around town in the hours before the start of festivities.
[For those who are curious to know more about the history of Totally Awesome Fest, I’d encourage you to check out a few of Patrick’s press conferences from previous year… like the one for last year’s Totally Awesome Fest, which took place at the back of an AATA bus, or the one for Totally Awesome Fest 8, which was hosted by Eastern Michigan University.]


Discussion in 'Edmonton Oilers' started by Zaddy, Apr 14, 2020.
Posted a reply thinking you were taking a shot at Edmonton.
I got you, I would never do that. love this city lol.
That's good to hear because by goly I refuse to stand by and witness someone walk all over this city.
You have to be some kind of total loser or not have much going on in your life if you are going so hard on a forum trying to trash Draisaitl lol. Like seriously. Must have a pretty empty life.
People keep saying Matthews. He wasn't even top 3. Crazy. Matthews is injury prone and I doubt he has many trophies in his career.
I know I'll need a few years to fully realize how special it is for a german player to win 3 major individual awards in the NHL. Even better it happend with the Oilers, wish I could've told this to my younger self about 20 years ago, would've saved me a lot of bad mood and stupid hockey arguing.
He deserves all the praise he can get, what a year and what a player. I didn't realize this level of player was in Draisaitl, but, basically, never doubt him.
Edit: Remember the hand wringing about his contract and how expensive it was
I wasn't diminishing journalism school itself but I would question why anybody would spend time and money on that in present age when journalism is dead.
Next, somebody that takes journalism then just focuses on sports or hockey? Thats a bit sad almost always.
I mean I can see journalism if somebody has some passion to report and hilite important things and events going on in the world. Even David Staples maintains that much integrity.
But for somebody to come out of journalism school just for these sports gigs? I dunno.
I even googled reasons to go into sports journalism, the importance of it, and all I got was this article;
The Importance of Sports Journalism in Today's World | The Sport Digest
But this article surmises the importance of getting into sports journalism is largely about revealing and opposing the nature of pro sports. Not the usual feeding at the trough that we see. I mean specifically with the journalist we are talking about he's taking untenable positions for hits. I can be accused of doing that, I'm not on a paid gig here and not betraying any particular ethics posting anonymously here.
Sports journalism has historically been considered the "Toy department of journalism" Not taken very seriously.
In anycase my specific critique, like with so many hockey analytics purveyors do not have statistics as a background. They do not have scientific methodology as a backgroud. They wouldn't even know tenets of Scientific enquiry.
Quoting McKenzie imo is not doing your argument any favors.
here's the list
of course Joe Haggarty picked a Bruin #1 for his MVP (Pastrnak)....huge homer
Greg Wyshynski didn't pick Leon #1 or #2....shocking how much he hates the Oilers
Dom Luszczgfadfh picked Auston Matthews 5th LOL...his spreadsheet spit out his numbers I guess
Good on Leon! While he has always been extremely talented he has also put a lot of work into his game. While skating was never as bad as some though it is now a real strength. But it is his shot that I really think he has turned into something elite by sheer hard work. I think we all knew he was a sublime passer, but how many of us expected one of the best goal scorers in the league.
Another case of insomnia and being bored but thanks for posting this. Of interesting note "The Athletic" holds as many as 47 votes that I counted. Out of 170 in total. Most other publications that get to vote get one. Why on Earth is one publication granted so much voting power to decide these things? I mean I could see it being a specialist publication that focuses on sports specifically getting a few more legitimate votes than 1. But 47? These things, and how they arose should probably be questioned. I don't recall these trophies being named the Art Ross The Athletic trophy.
I mention this as well because a majority of The Athletic voters voted against Leon Draisaitl, and some with inane lists and picks. Deserves to be mentioned that Leon from what I was able to count (hard to count from those tables, Leon got 93 first place votes overall, so overwhelming majority. yet most of the 47 Athletic votes were for somebody else. So we're seeing some selective bias at work with the publication.
ftr from my count 29 The Athletic voters picked somebody other than Leon Draisaitl. Only 18 of their writers picked Leon.
So lets sort out some numbers;
Leon obtained 38% first place ballots from The Athletic voters.
Leon obtained 55% first place ballots overall, among all voters.
Leon Draisaitl obtained a whopping 61% of first place votes from everybody but The Athletic voters.
What this means is statistically significant confirmed bias of one publication, and that could have swayed voting somewhat if Leon did not have considerable support from the rest of sports journalists and sports media.
Yeah, I wasn't happy about his contract, lol. I was comparing it to Pasta's contract and was pissed that we signed him for so much. Loved the player, thought the contract was an overpay due to one season where he lit things up playing with 97. So yeah about that...... 8.5 is a STEAL for what Drai is, and as much crap as Chia gets on here (deservedly so) he should get full marks for that contract. Imagine how ridiculously good it would have been if the cap kept rising these next 3-4 years like it would he if COVID wasn't a thing?
I think it is a classic example of "organizational think" at work there. All these guys talk to each other, they are on iMessage groups together, Teams groups, etc etc etc. People who work in corporations know how this goes, one guy is on a soap box about something and then all of a sudden half the office is buying Bitcoin at an alarming rate, lol.
Agree with The Athletic getting more than 1 vote, hell they should probably have 31 even (1 for each team they cover), but 47 is a bit much.
I can't even see 31 being warranted. I mean several news conglomerates cover multiple teams if not the league in general and they get a handful of votes. I mean The Athletic is cornering the market on PHWA votes and a concering trend given they alreadly had 47/170 or 28% of all votes. Thats nearly 1/3 and I suspect it soon will be that. When does it stop? When they get half of total votes..
In anycase very clearly no other publication is getting votes for each one of their sports wags. Most papers have multiple on the beat but each publication is generally getting the one vote. So it doesn't fly that The Athletic should be getting one vote for every writer. That is a disparity that needs some explaining.
I'm pleasantly surprised that Draisaitl won the Hart. Didn't expect it because most writers are morons and just go with whatever the prevailing narrative is.
To me it was three obvious candidates this season: Draisaitl, MacKinnon and Panarin. No other players stirred the drink for their respective teams like those guys.
The guys who voted for Matthews should probably find another gig. Some other weird votes out there like Jacob Markström and Elias Pettersson too.
Not sure how Ovechkin got votes either. Guy had 67 points in 68 games and outscored by John Carlson, a defenseman, on his own team. He has no case for the Hart at all.
Disband the PHWA or whatever it's called. They don't even know which wing Ovi plays.
I need a photo with him posing in front of all three trophies so I can post it everywhere on HF
This is worth repeating. I mean his one-timer has got to be top 3 in the league right now and it isn't because of McD. He is finishing at an unbelievable rate even if the goalie manages to get across it often goes through him (on power alone) or is perfectly placed bar down. It's his shot selection (just hit the net vs place it and take some off for accuracy vs pound it) shows that sixth sense of reading the play and reacting in real time to what the goalie is doing. That's what makes him so elite.
...and send it to Steven.
Drai legitimately has one of the best releases in the league these days. It's crazy how effortless he makes it seem. Of course he has a great one-timer too and can beat goalies even from really bad angles.
This is a really interesting question. Especially when you wouldn't think of the Athletic as wielding more power than say SI, ESPN or any of the Canadian networks (when it comes to hockey).
But... aren't the Athletic writers mostly freelance? So more likely they have other affiliations with more local rags?
I honestly do understand the opinion that if this was purely an MVP award in the purest sense (how much worse would your team be without elite player X), then Panarin probably should have won it. But, then McDavid should have won in 2018, and McDavid should have also won the Calder in 2016 if it was really an award for who the best rookie was, not just who was good along with luck to be getting fed by Kane and no injuries.
This award is payback as a result of consistency I suppose. I'm kinda shocked that the consistency worked in our favour. The Hart has been awarded for who had the most outstanding season with the caveat that their team is in or near a playoff spot. Honestly, shame on the people breaking precedent and giving Panarin 1st place votes

New Delhi, Apr 25 (EFE).- The number of people confirmed dead after the collapse of a building housing several textile factories stands at 243, Bangladeshi authorities said Thursday.
More than 1,000 others were injured in the disaster in Savar, a suburb of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka.
The eight-story Rana Plaza, whose tenants included five textile factories, a market and a bank branch, collapsed early on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters, police and military personnel rescued several hundred people from among the rubble, while efforts are continuing to find survivors.
Rescue teams found another 24 survivors early Thursday night, 35 hours after the collapse, Dhaka emergency services director Ali Ahmed Khan told The Daily Star.
Amirul Haque Amin, the president of the National Garment Workers Federation, told Efe that the building had about 4,000 workers in it at the time of the collapse, and so the death toll "could rise a lot."
The global Clean Clothes Campaign seeks to improve the situation of workers in textile factories and raise awareness among international clothing companies about the situation in countries such as Bangladesh.
"The multinationals operate with providers, who are controlled by them through auditing firms, but then those providers subcontract the production to other companies, which do not comply with any security measures," the CCC's Eva Kreisler said.
Bangladesh is the country with the lowest production costs in the clothing industry and so companies from all over the world, including China, are outsourcing part of their production to the South Asian country, according to the CCC.
According to NGWF figures, in the past 15 years there have been some 600 deaths and 3,000 injuries in fires, collapses and other accidents at textile factories.

Revolutionizing Our Energy Landscape: Sustainable Energy Production
In the face of climate change and environmental concerns, the global shift towards sustainable energy production has become a critical imperative. This transformation is reshaping how we generate, distribute, and consume energy, paving the way for a cleaner and greener future.
Embracing Renewable Resources
At the core of sustainable energy production lies the utilization of renewable resources. Harnessing the power of the sun, wind, water, and geothermal heat allows for continuous energy generation without depleting finite resources. This shift reduces dependence on fossil fuels, mitigating environmental impact and addressing the urgent need for carbon emission reduction.
The Role of Solar Power
Solar power, a prominent player in sustainable energy, continues to witness advancements. Photovoltaic cells, embedded in solar panels, convert sunlight into electricity. With ongoing research enhancing the efficiency of these cells and innovations like thin-film solar technology expanding application possibilities, solar power stands as a cornerstone of sustainable energy production.
Wind Energy’s Ascendance
The gentle hum of wind turbines signifies the ascendance of wind energy in sustainable production. These towering structures convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. Technological innovations, such as larger and more efficient turbines, contribute to the growth of wind energy as a reliable and scalable source, powering homes and industries alike.
Harvesting the Power of Water
Hydropower, derived from the energy of flowing water, continues to be a stalwart in sustainable energy production. From large-scale dams to smaller run-of-the-river projects, harnessing the power of water ensures a steady and renewable source of electricity. Innovations in hydropower technology strive to minimize environmental impacts, addressing concerns about habitat disruption.
Tapping into Earth’s Heat: Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy, sourced from the Earth’s internal heat, presents a reliable and constant power supply. Geothermal power plants leverage the Earth’s natural heat to produce electricity and provide heating solutions. As technology evolves, geothermal energy becomes increasingly accessible, contributing to the diversification of sustainable energy sources.
Energy Storage Solutions for Continuity
Ensuring the continuity of sustainable energy production requires effective storage solutions. Advanced battery technologies, including lithium-ion and emerging alternatives like flow batteries, play a pivotal role in storing excess energy generated during peak production periods. Energy storage addresses the intermittency challenge, providing a reliable source during low production phases.
The Smart Revolution: Grids and Infrastructure
The integration of smart grids and infrastructure marks a significant leap in sustainable energy production. Smart grids enable real-time monitoring, analysis, and adaptive management of energy distribution. This intelligent approach ensures efficient utilization, minimizes wastage, and supports the integration of diverse renewable sources into the existing energy grid.
Sustainable energy production extends beyond technological advancements to embrace community-centric approaches. Initiatives like community solar projects and decentralized energy solutions empower individuals and communities to actively participate in and benefit from the transition to sustainable energy. This democratization of energy fosters a sense of collective responsibility.
To explore more about the dynamic landscape of sustainable energy production and how it shapes our future, visit Sustainable energy production. As we navigate towards a sustainable energy future, the combined efforts of technological innovation, renewable resource utilization, and community engagement will play pivotal roles in achieving a cleaner, greener planet.


Largest Military Experiment to Test Transformation Theories
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2002 -- Combat is the wrong place to find out your theories of warfare don't work.
The U.S. Joint Forces Command is about to test U.S. military transformation theories by conducting the largest, most complex military experiment in history. Called Millennium Challenge 2002, the experiment will combine live forces with simulation to test the theories, equipment and doctrine U.S. forces will use.
The experiment will use 13,500 people stretched across the United States in nine live force-training locations and 17 simulation locations, said Army Gen. William "Buck" Kernan, commander of U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va. It will use 50 models and simulation systems to test U.S. military effectiveness, he said in a Pentagon briefing July 18.
The experiment starts July 24 and will run through Aug. 15. Joint Forces Command and the services have been planning two years for the experiment. The Defense Department and Congress will use Millennium Challenge data to judge the effectiveness of the force and progress in transforming the military to meet the threats of the 21st century.
Kernan said Millennium Challenge will help determine the extent to which U.S. forces are able to establish and maintain knowledge superiority. It will also test the military's ability to assure access to and throughout the battlespace, to leverage all national elements of power and to sustain deployed forces as they conduct operations.
He stressed the experiment will cover the full range of military operations. Millennium Challenge 2002's scenario takes place in 2007. An adversary has the potential to escalate a high-end, small-scale regional conflict into a major theater war. Most of the live action will occur on U.S. training ranges in the Southwest.
The experiment will test four strategic concepts: effects-based operations, operational net assessment, standing joint task force headquarters and the joint interagency coordination group, he said.
The bottom line, Kernan continued, is that the U.S. military and other government agencies should "know as much about our adversary as possible -- more than he knows about himself -- no matter who that adversary may be." This knowledge would allow the United States to shut down an adversary quickly and effectively with the least amount of damage and loss of life, he said.
"We are developing a force capable of attacking multiple targets from many different angles," he said. "(Adversaries will know) that we will have the will and the ability to operate more rapidly and decisively than we've ever had before."
Joint task force commander of the experiment is Lt. Gen. B.B. Bell, commander of the Army's III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas. The XVIII Airborne Corps of Fort Bragg, N.C., was to have been the joint task force, but it is serving in Afghanistan. Kernan said Bell and his staff geared up for the experiment in just two weeks thanks to Joint Forces Command's standing joint task force headquarters -- an expert team that maintains a kind of "shadow headquarters" for such contingencies.
Kernan said the experiment would test the U.S. government's ability to be "proactive in any crisis and not just react after the fact." The inclusion of officials from the State and Energy departments, the CIA and the U.S. Agency for International Development, he said, is recognition that the United States and its allies may not be able to react to attacks solely with military power.
"We need to be smarter and quicker, use our guile, and leverage information technology to get inside the enemy's decision process and affect the operation," he said.
Kernan said Millennium Challenge is solely a U.S. experiment, but some information will be shared with allies.
"It's important we go down the same track on modernization," he said. "We may be moving faster than others, but nonetheless if we can prescribe the standards and protocols ahead of time, we can ensure (allied) interoperability in tomorrow's battlespace. We don't want to compartmentalize the battlefield any more. We want to blur some of those lines."
He stressed Millennium Challenge is an experiment, and he therefore expects some things being tested will fail. But he expects most will work.
He said that if the experiment points to breakthroughs in technology, processes or doctrine, then results will be shared with combatant commanders immediately. He said the after-action review will also be quick. The report to Congress will be ready in the fall, said Joint Forces Command officials.
"The world is a very unfriendly place in many respects," Kernan said. "There are an awful lot of people out there who are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to deny us our way of life. But we have more asymmetrical capabilities than they've got threats. We just got to use them differently.

Designed to simplify the debt restructuring process, these reforms better serve eligible small businesses, their creditors and their employees. The new, streamlined process – a formal appointment – allows financially distressed businesses to retain control while they restructure their debts. During the restructuring period, unsecured creditors (and some secured creditors) can’t enforce claims.
These reforms will not only help more financially distressed small business survive, but will positively impact the economy. As turnaround and SBRP practitioners, we’re here to answer your questions and help you or your client develop a plan.
Now that the new framework is in play, here’s a quick recap of the main details.
Eligibility for the small business restructuring process
To access the new small business restructuring process, a company must:
- Be an incorporated company (Pty Ltd) under the Corporations Act
- Have total liabilities of $1 million or less on the day the company enters the process, excluding employee entitlements
- Resolve that they are insolvent or likely to become insolvent (see our insolvency checklist) and decide to appoint a small business restructuring practitioner (SBRP)
- Appoint a small business restructuring practitioner to oversee the restructuring process
Declaring intention to access the restructuring process
After announcing the decision to access restructuring, a business must declare its intention to access the process on the published notices website and notify ASIC within five days of the declaration.
By declaring their intention to access restructuring, businesses are given temporary insolvency relief (until March 31 2021) while they search for a small business restructuring practitioner. This takes into account that it may take some time to select one.
Appointment of a qualified small business restructuring practitioner
A list of registered SBRP practitioners, including us, can be found on the ASIC website.
Once a qualified SBRP had been appointed, their first job is to assess your situation and determine whether your company is eligible to access the process.
Drafting and serving of the small business restructuring plan
If eligible, a business and their practitioner have 20 days from the appointment to prepare a small business restructuring plan in the approved form. This period can be extended by up to 10 days, where the circumstances of the extension are reasonable.
The plan must:
- Identify the property that is being dealt with and how it will be dealt with
- Provide remuneration for the SBRP appointment
- State the date on which it was executed
Once the plan is finalised, you have five days to notify ASIC. Your practitioner must also prepare a restructuring statement to be submitted alongside. This includes a schedule setting out the company’s creditors and the amount they are owed by the company.
The practitioner must serve the plan and relevant papers to affected creditors. All employee entitlements must be paid and all tax reporting obligations up to date before this can happen.
Acceptance or rejection of the plan
Once your creditors have received the plan, they have 15 days to vote on it via a written statement.
- If disputed: A creditor must provide specifics of the dispute. Your practitioner then has five days to resolve it.
- If the majority in value of creditors accept it (over 50% of voters): The plan is approved, binding all unsecured creditors. It will then be administered as you continue to trade as normal. At this point, you’re no longer protected from liability for insolvent trading.
- If rejected: Your company may be placed into voluntary administration or the new simplified liquidation process which is faster and lower-cost.
