Arsenal and Iker Casillas seem to be joined by the transfer-rumour-hip, with the latest reports suggesting the Real Madrid goalkeeper is keen on a summer move to the English Premier League, and specifically the Emirates.
Casillas has been linked with a switch to Arsenal several times in the past, but the Real Madrid legend has stayed put at the Bernabeu. The Spain international has been Carlo Ancelotti's first choice at Real this season, and even if the wobbles continue, the 33-year-old has looked a lot more solid in 2015.
However, Real Madrid are likely to look for a long-term solution in the goalkeeper department in the summer transfer window, with Manchester United's David De Gea looking like the most likely candidate to take over Casillas' gloves.
If that mega transfer does happen, Casillas will want to finally make a move away from Real Madrid, with the EPL his most likely destination.
"Iker Casillas is very clear, he wants to go to England at the end of the season," Spanish journalist Josep Pederol said on Spanish television.
While those quotes could mean any English team – Liverpool have also been linked with a transfer – Pederol then took to Twitter to claim Casillas wants a move to Arsenal when the summer transfer window opens in July.
"Noticia @JugoneslaSexta: Casillas quiere jugar en el Arsenal la proxima temporada!!!!!," he wrote, which translated into English means "Casillas wants to play for Arsenal next season."
Wenger has been tipped to go for a goalkeeper this summer, with Chelsea's Petr Cech and Tottenham's Hugo Lloris thought to be the Frenchman's targets. However, both Chelsea and Spurs, especially, are unlikely to sell one of their players to their rivals, leaving Wenger to possibly look elsewhere for goalkeeping targets.
While Wojciech Szczesny has been shaky this season, David Ospina has continued to impress, even if he has not had that much to do owing to Arsenal's sturdier defence in the second half of the season.
Szczesny is highly rated by Wenger, but the manager did admit he cannot be certain the Poland international will be an Arsenal player next season, owing to the goalkeeper losing his No.1 status to Ospina.
"I hope yes, but at the moment it is very difficult to answer that question," said Wenger before Arsenal's game against Reading ten days ago when asked about Szczesny's future. "I still think he is a great goalkeeper."
If Szczesny thinks his future lies elsewhere and Wenger is forced into a sale, then Arsenal will undoubtedly need a new goalkeeper, despite Emiliano Martinez impressing in his outings this season.
However, whether signing Casillas, who will undoubtedly demand high wages, makes sense or not is completely another matter, even if it is as a potential replacement for Szczesny.

A Tale of Two Cycles
|By Martin Weiss|
If you thought history doesn’t repeat itself, just roll back the clock to the 1920s.
The stock market in those days would be eerily familiar to you today.
It was enjoying an unusually long, roaring bull, just as it’s been doing in recent years.
And it was out of sync with the tough times that most working American families were experiencing, also much like recent years.
So, when the Dow Jones Industrials kept going up in the first ten months of 1929, my father, a young stockbroker on Wall Street, didn’t trust it.
He didn’t trust the disconnect between the great times on Wall Street and the tough times in the neighborhood where he lived.
He didn’t have many clients yet — just friends and family. But he never hesitated to warn them of the troubles brewing beneath the surface.
In his office, the veteran stockbrokers laughed at him. “Weiss is just a kid,” they said. “What does he know?”
Dad just ignored them. Based on his research, not a single stock in the market was worth buying. So, he told investors to sell everything.
He collected data on as many companies as he could. He put the numbers down on the large, green spreadsheets. And he created a series of formulas that would later become the foundation of our ratings and computer models of today.
Using his formulas, he identified the companies he thought were the riskiest. He called them “Dogs of the Dow.” And sure enough, they were among the stocks that crashed the most in the early 1930s.
But all that changed on March 3, 1933, the last day of trading on Wall Street before President Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated as America’s 32nd President.
The stock market was in a shambles. The shares of some of Americas best companies had been beaten to a pulp. So, instead of a blacklist of companies to sell, Dad focused on a whitelist of companies with tremendous value to buy.
On the very next Monday, March 6, 1933, Roosevelt announced the Emergency Banking Act, shuttering all of the nation’s banks and halting all trading in the stock market.
Most people thought that when markets reopened, they would crash even further. But stocks surged. In fact, it was very close to the all-time bottom of the market, a level never to be seen again.
Now, fast forward seven decades to 1999, the days of the Great Dot-Com Bubble.
By then, we had modernized my father’s system. Instead of his spreadsheet, we had a database. Instead of formulas, we had ratings, the Weiss Stock Ratings.
Using our ratings, we realized that the Nasdaq was a bubble ready to burst, and most tech stocks were grossly overvalued. Again, we identified the companies that we thought were the riskiest. We even wrote them up in a special report called the “7 Horsemen of the Internet Apocalypse.”
Most brokers on Wall Street thought our Weiss Ratings analysts were nuts. “They’re just a small firm in Florida,” they said. “What do they know?”
We just ignored them. Based on the data, not a single stock on the Nasdaq got our “Buy” rating. Almost every single one was a “Sell.”
Sure enough, in early 2000, the Dot-Com Bubble was bursting and …
By 2003, investors had lost three-quarters of their money on average … except, of course, for investors who used our ratings and heeded our warnings.
But after tech stocks hit rock bottom, it was the opposite. That’s when our rating system saw tremendous value. And that’s when we began upgrading the best among them to a “Buy” for the first time.
Like Microsoft (MSFT), up 2,151% since our recommendation …
Or Apple (AAPL), which is up 32,571% since our 2004 recommendation.
Overall, there are 28 tech stocks we upgraded to a “Buy” in 2003-2004 and have never downgraded to a “Sell.” Even including the worst performers among them, their average gain to date is 3,316%. Not a single one is a loser.
Now, here we are in a unique moment in time with so many striking parallels to the 1920s.
No, history never repeats itself exactly. But no matter how many times I take a deep dive into the Roaring 20s of the 20th Century, I’m always aghast when I uncover new parallel patterns in the Roaring 20s of the 21st Century.
The influenza pandemic of that era that killed over ten times more people than World War I … the Covid pandemic of this era that killed over ten times more people than the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Severe famines and mass migration in Russia and China back then … severe famines and mass migrations in Africa and South Asia today.
Plus, culture wars: In the 1920s, it was the battle between feminists and anti-feminists. That was ugly. Plus, it was the big battle for and against prohibition. That was even uglier.
Today’s culture wars aren’t just ugly. I think they’re downright dangerous.
What other parallels do you see?
More important, what are the invisible forces lurking beneath the surface?
What might be the final outcome and when?
Most important, what are you doing to prepare?
Think about that for a few days. Send me your answer to [email protected]. Then, I’ll see you here again next Monday, Sept. 25 to comment on your views and give you mine.
Good luck and God bless!

Ennis Esmer, who featured in Schitt’s Creek, and Nazneen Contractor, who featured in Heroes Reborn and Ransom, have also joined the cast.
James is a supportive and loving husband and father of two. Positive but anxious, James loves parenting with Astrid but misses the freedom of his pre-kid life. Esmer joins the cast as Ennis, James’s co-worker and best friend who wants as few responsibilities as possible, and Contractor plays Dawn, Astrid’s successful, blunt, and mildly pretentious sister.

As ever, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy took the top spots for weekly syndication and Two and a Half Men is now firmly entrenched in third place and seemingly not letting go.
Judge Judy was fourth, and trumped Oprah for daytime supremacy for the sixth consecutive week in the week ending April 25, but Oprah was up 11% on the week fueled by “Octomom” Nadya Suleman. The Suleman episode averaged 6.795 million viewers, about a million more than any other show during the week. The second-highest featured Mo’Nique’s brother admitting he sexually molested his sister — that telecast averaged 5.839 million.
Legend of the Seeker Fans: Seeker ran a new episode “Walter” the weekend of April 24, and the updated table for Season two’s ratings is still below the normal syndicated top 25 table. While it’s hardly a surprise and there is still no official word from Disney ABC Domestic Television, sadly, Michael Ausiello reports that Seeker will wrap production after season two and that there will not be a third season. E! Online confirms the report.
Friday Night Smackdown Fans: It didn’t make the top 25 – it was 27th in viewers with 3.09 million. Its household rating was a 1.8.
Please note that the syndicated weekly results are delayed versus normal reporting. While we get the broadcast and cable ratings for the prior Monday-Sunday period every Tuesday, there is an extra week of lag time with the syndicated ratings and these numbers are not for last week, but for the week before last (in other words, the WWE Friday Night Smackdown! is for April 24, not April 30).

All over the world there are flourishing Jewish communities, blessed with thriving synagogues, bustling schools, and prominent yeshivot. But with all of this Torah study and mitzvah-observance, do we feel the absence of the Beit HaMikdash? Are we aware of our state of exile and dispersion?
The anguished roars of a lion — that is how the prophet describes God’s constant grief over the loss of the Holy Temple: “God roars from on high; He calls out from His holy dwelling, roaring over His habitation” (Jeremiah 25:30).
The Sages were able to hear these roars and translate them for us:
“Woe to My children! On account of their sins, I have destroyed My House and set fire to My sanctuary and exiled them among the nations of the world.” (Berachot 3a)
The Rabbis also knew at what hour these heavenly cries may be heard. These roars, they taught, take place during the three watches of the night. (The darkness of night is a common metaphor for the exile.) And there are even signs that indicate the exact time of these anguished cries:
“The night consists of three watches, and during each watch the Holy One sits and roars like a lion.... The sign for this: in the first watch, a donkey brays; in the second, dogs howl; and in the third, a baby nurses from its mother and a woman converses with her husband.”
What is the meaning of these strange signs — donkeys braying, dogs howling, babies nursing, and early-morning conversations?
We must first understand the significance of these night watches. The watches are a metaphor for underlying spiritual mechanisms in the universe. Each watch corresponds to the elevation of higher realms, an elevation that is a result of Israel’s service of God in this world. Since the Temple’s destruction and the exile of Israel, however, the Jewish nation has been reduced to an atrophied spiritual life. This decline has diminished the overall level of Divine providence in the world. The roars of heavenly anguish during the night watches are an expression of the cosmic pain caused by this spiritual decline.
Why are there three watches? The three watches correspond to the three basic levels in which we serve God: (1) through our actions, (2) by refining our character traits, and (3) by deepening our understanding and knowledge. Sadly, all three aspects have been adversely affected by the exile and the absence of the Beit HaMikdash.
The first form of serving God is through deeds and actions. When the Jewish people are on an elevated spiritual plane, their mitzvot and acts of kindness are guided by a profound awareness of God’s presence. Due to the detrimental influences of exile, however, all of our actions are tainted by an overall atmosphere of self-centeredness and materialism. This causes our service of God to lose its reparative quality of tikkun. Lacking the guidance of Divine wisdom, materialistic tendencies are reinforced. This phenomenon is particularly apparent regarding mitzvot that involve physical pleasures, such as the mitzvah to rejoice on the holidays.
For this reason, the sign of the first watch is the braying of a donkey (in Hebrew, chamor), indicating the awakening of materialistic tendencies (chomriut). This is a basic aspect of human nature — “For man is born a wild donkey” (Job 11:12) — that is bolstered by the negative influences of exile and its limited spiritual life.
The second night-watch corresponds to our service of God through the acquisition of positive character traits, such as kindness, generosity, and humility. The current state of the world, however, with its lack of holy influences, fosters various negative traits. This is not due to the body’s physicality but rather because we lack an accurate image of pure and refined traits, as we are unable to faithfully model ourselves after God’s traits of kindness and compassion.
The sign for the distortion of this service is the howling of dogs. Dogs symbolize negative traits, especially insolence (see Isaiah 56:11). Greed and brazenness are the source for many other flawed traits.
The final watch corresponds to the highest form of serving God — using our cognitive powers. There are two levels in this avodah: those who study Halachah and the revealed parts of Torah, and those who delve into deeper esoteric studies. Unlike the service of God in actions and character traits, Torah learning cannot be debased. As the Sages taught, “Words of Torah cannot contract ritual impurity” (Berachot 22a). Therefore the signs of the third watch are positive ones, signs of Divine intimacy and beneficence — a baby nursing and a wife conversing with her husband.
However, even this level is detrimentally influenced by the exile. What is the heavenly sign for those who study the revealed parts of Torah? “A baby nursing from its mother.” This indicates a state that is incomplete, an intellectual service not fully developed; it is therefore symbolized by a nursing baby.
Those who study on a deeper level, contemplating the nature of God with philosophical and mystical inquiries, are blessed with a revealed love of God. The sign for this level is one of love and affection — “a woman conversing with her husband.” Nonetheless, even this holy service appears to be deficient, as the Sages described it as a ‘conversation’ (mesaperet), the relating of stories without deeper and truer content. Once again, this state is due to our current lack of Divine inspiration and prophetic wisdom.

Jennifer Lopez says that she has no idea where the rumors come from that she’s a diva who dishes out bizarre demands and generally makes everyone’s life miserable, but she swears nothing could be further from the truth. Â This response comes after reports that Lopez and her people made unreasonable “requests” during the negotiations for her American Idol contract.
Everyone’s worried about how interesting Idol could possibly be without Simon on the panel anymore, but I think the producers did a good job in hiring someone with as much controversy as Lopez seems to stir. Â She claims never to have been a diva, but that would mean that over the years there have been metric tons of smoke with no fire. Â My bet is that the Idol producers know exactly what they’re doing, and within the first few weeks of the season we’re bound to see some serious tantrums and drama from the now-struggling pop star.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner Vedanta Resources’ Zinc International subsidiary has committed more than 80% of the $400-million capital expenditure (capex) for the first phase of the Gamsberg zinc project, in the Northern Cape.
The first phase of the Gasmberg project is expected to have a mine life of 13 years, replacing the production lost by the closure of the Lisheen mine, in Ireland, and restoring Zinc International’s volumes to more than 300 000 t/y.
Prestart activities and waste stripping are progressing well, with more than 25-million tonnes of the estimated 65-million to 70-million tonnes of waste rock excavated to date.
Of the estimated peak of 1 500 jobs to be created during construction, more than 1 100 jobs had been established at site, Vedanta Zinc projects VP Satish Kumar told Mining Weekly Online during a site visit to the project on Friday.
“Of the 1 153 employees at site last week, more than 58% came from the surrounding labour sending areas,” he added.
When fully operational, the mine will permanently employ between 850 and 900 people.
The first phase of the Gamsberg project will comprise an openpit mine; a concentrator plant with an ore feed rate of four-million tonnes a year; and associated infrastructure, including a tailings dam, a waste rock dump and stockpiles, offices and workshops, a power transmission line from the Aggeneys substation to Gamsberg, a water pipeline, an access road from the N14 to Gamsberg, as well as 300 to 350 housing units.
One of the largest civil cement pours occurred at Gamsberg on Friday, with about 760 m3 of concrete poured over a 24-hour to 30-hour period for the raft foundation of the semi-autogenous grinding mill at the concentrator plant. The concentrator is expected to produce about 250 000 t/y of zinc metal in concentrate.
Further, the lining of the tailings storage facility with a high-density polyethylene lining started in July and was well under way, Kumar said, noting that the facility would require about 110 ha of lining.
Construction of the tailings storage facility is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018.
Further, construction of the water pipeline, which will run for almost 38 km from the Orange river water offtake, in Pella, in the Northern Cape, to the mine, is under way. Public water board Sedibeng will operate the pipeline.
Meanwhile, all major orders for the integrated process plant, water and power, mining and other prestart activities have already been placed, the company reported last month.
Manufacturing of critical machinery such as the mills, crusher and transformers is under way, with major contractors mobilised to site, and with site activities including civil works, power lines and water lines under way.
The project remains on schedule to achieve the first production target in mid-2018.

Increased environmental degradation endangers the very existence of future generations. Fortunately, many governments have reiterated their commitment to curb this through the adoption of greener strategies. The Canadian government recently announced ambitious plans to move towards a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. As part of its efforts, the government even unveiled plans to use 100% renewable energy in federal buildings within eight years (by 2025).
Renewable sources of energy include sources such as the wind and the sun. Despite Canada’s location in the higher altitudes, the country still has huge potential for solar power technology. Indeed, Canada’s huge surface area gives it a competitive edge in adopting solar power technology. Different sectors stand to benefit from using solar power technology; including the agricultural sector.
Why The Agricultural Sector?
The importance of the agricultural sector in Canada grows every year. Indeed, the Canadian agricultural sector sits at number 5 in the list of largest agricultural exporters in the world. The sector employs over 2 million Canadians and contributes at least $110 billion to the country’s GDP every year. However, this position of importance comes with growing concerns for the environment.
The agricultural sector uses enormous amounts of energy every year. In 2013 for example, research suggested that Canada’s agricultural sector accounted for at least 10% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, Canadian farmers could help save and preserve the environment by turning to solar power technology.
Provinces with Biggest Potential for Solar Power Technology
Canada’s location in the high altitudes means that it experiences lower levels of solar irradiance. In addition to that, Canada’s relatively heavy cloud cover also reduces the solar power capacity in the country. Provinces in the Southern parts of Canada have a more significant solar potential than those in the northern parts of Canada. Provinces with the highest potential include Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Manitoba among others.
Potential Uses of Solar Power Technology in the Canadian Farming Sector
Farmers all across Canada and more so in the Southern provinces like Alberta do not even need convincing when it comes to solar power. While farmers usually require the sun for the health of their crops and their animals, many are also now turning towards using the sun to meet their energy needs. Some of the potential uses of solar power technology among Canada’s farmers include;
1. Backup Power
Many Canadian farmers consider this one of the most significant benefits of solar power technology. The success of the farming sector often depends on the proper and timely execution of specific processes some of which depend on electricity. Ultimately, power outages often lead to unimaginable losses and inconveniences. In addition to that, the unpredictability of power outages limits the dependability of the grid.
In 1989 for example, Quebec experienced an electrical blackout that lasted 12 hours. Solar power technology offers an avenue away from the inconveniences of using the grid for one’s energy needs. For as long as the sun shines, solar power lives on.
Whether there are blackouts or not, solar power remains one of the best ways to supplement electrical energy. Many farmers supplement their electrical use in many ways including using skylights and other sun-based lighting and solar heating systems. All of these greatly help to enhance the energy efficiency of farm operations.
Solar power technology also makes for a good source of energy when it comes to powering farm machinery and equipment.
2. Solar Powered Sensors
Both crops and animals often require sufficient supplies of water for optimal growth. However, watering on large-scale farms often poses a considerable challenge for farmers. This is especially so when farmers have to connect a mains supply to the sensor node. Wireless sensor nodes offer a solution to the problem of connecting the nodes to the mains. Unfortunately, farmers are regularly expected to replace the batteries which are relatively inconvenient and strenuous.
Solar powered sensor nodes offer farmers a better way out of the problem. Further, farmers stand to spend less on solar-powered sensors. Farmers can then use these sensors to gather data such as precipitation levels, soil moisture and even sunlight levels for easily monitoring and regulating watering processes.
3. Solar Powered Fence Chargers
Farmers who engage in livestock farming are well aware of the importance of using efficient, adaptable and dependable fencing solutions. It comes as no surprise that many Canadian livestock farmers consider solar-powered fences as one of the best and most sustainable fencing solutions. According to experts, solar-powered electric fences are particularly useful for farmers located in rural and remote locations where the grid is unavailable.
Some reasons explain the growing popularity of solar power fencing:
- Ease of installation makes it an exciting Do-It-Yourself (DIY) activity
- Availability of affordable solar fencing parts and components
4. Drying of Crops and Grain
Since time immemorial, human beings use the sun to dry crops and grain. Technological advancements and developments have significantly improved and enhanced solar drying processes. These days, rather than leave crops out in the field to dry, farmers use solar drying equipment. Ultimately, crops dry faster and in a more even manner. Additionally, solar drying equipment allows farmers to take advantage of the sun while avoiding the disadvantages of severe weather, pests, and birds.
Different ways of using solar power for drying crops and grain exist. In most cases, a conventional solar-powered dryer includes:
- A shed (or enclosure) with south-ward facing windows that let the sunlight in.
- Screened drying trays
- A solar collector
- A fan which helps to move hot air through the crops and grain to speed up the drying process
One of the most significant advantages of this system is that farmers also use the solar collector to fulfill their heating needs especially in the colder times of the year.
5. Solar Greenhouse Heating
As noted earlier, the farming sector accounts for up to 10% of Canada’s greenhouse emissions. Globally, research estimates that agriculture accounts for at least 13% of the greenhouse emissions. The statistics indicate the problem is on a global scale.
Part of the problem lies in the surging number of commercial greenhouses which traditionally use gas or oil heaters to regulate temperatures. The use of gas and oil heaters plays a huge role in triggering the high levels of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. On the contrary, solar energy does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar powered greenhouses collect and store the suns energy retaining it for use at night and on cloudy days.
Another advantage of solar powered greenhouses is that they enable crop growth all year round.
6. Solar Irrigation
Farmers also use solar power technology to irrigate their land. Indeed, the interest of Canadian farmers in photovoltaic (PV) water pumping systems grows by the day. This is particularly so with those farmers located in locations where there the grid is unavailable.
A typical solar irrigation system pumps water directly for as long as the sun is shining. Farmers find this convenient as it means that the systems work best during summer; when water is needed most. Some of the biggest benefits of using these solar powered pumping systems for farming include;
- Their cost efficiency
- Their reliability
- They require low maintenance.
- Availability in different sizes and for different needs
Although smaller solar-powered water pumps do not require batteries, larger ones do. To add to that, larger systems often include extra features such as inverters and even tracking mounts meant to follow the sun.
7. Solar Powered Vehicles and Farm Equipment
For many people, solar-powered vehicles are a dream of the future. However, for some Canadian farmers, the future is already here. Farmers typically use diesel powered tractors on their farms. The use of such tractors contributes immensely to the degradation of the environment through air pollution as well as soil and groundwater pollution.
In a bid to curb the negative effects of diesel-powered vehicles on farms, developers came up with solar powered tractors and other agricultural vehicles. Some farmers even use small solar powered golfcart-like vehicles to move around the farm.
8. Solar Powered Ventilation Systems
Ventilation is an important element in any farmhouse. This means that farmers need to ensure that their stores and other farmhouses have proper and efficient ventilation systems. Some farmers now use solar power to open and close the vents in their farmhouses while others use solar power to control the fans.

Benefits of Using Solar Power Technology in Farming
Canada’s farmers incorporate solar power technology on their farms for numerous reasons.
1. Lower and More Manageable Energy Costs
Many farmers agree that farming is an energy-intensive venture which makes it an expensive venture as well. For most farmers, meeting these expenses is difficult and stressful. Turning to solar power helps many farmers cut down their costs and save even more. For, some studies suggest that dairy farmers stand to benefit from up to 33% in savings on their electricity bills when they use solar power.
Even more importantly, the cost of energy keeps on rising and the best way to curb it is self-reliance regarding energy. Generating one’s own energy brings about reliance, affordability and a more excellent ability to manage energy use and costs.
Some farmers are also taking solar power generation to a more significant scale by taking part in solar farming. According to many market forecasts and experts, solar farming is potentially lucrative business especially with the increased demand for solar power technology in homes all across Canada.
2. Fewer Challenges in Installation
A couple of years ago, farmers often found it hard to install solar power systems on their farms. Some factors contributed to this including the affordability of the systems as well as specific limitations from the government, Today, however, solar power systems are much more affordable. Further, technological advancements have resulted in solar power systems with better designs and easier installation.
3. Ideal for Farmers in Remote Locations
Solar power technology offers a way out for farmers who live in remote areas with no connection to the electric grid. Solar power means these farmers still get a chance to enjoy the conveniences of electricity even without a connection to the grid. Additionally, the farmers enjoy a cleaner, greener and more reliable source of electricity.
4. Numerous Incentives from the Government
By far one of the most significant benefits that Canadian farmers stand to benefit from in adopting solar power technology is the government incentives offered to farmers. This is primarily due to the government’s commitment to ensuring that Canada moves towards greener energy and lower carbon emissions. According to farmers in Canada, these incentives play a significant role in convincing them to convert to solar power.
In 2009 for example, the Canadian government implemented the Feed-in Tariff (FIT). Experts lauded it the only program of its kind in the whole of North America while farmers saw it as an opportunity to incorporate solar power technology.
Even the governments of the different provinces and territories came up with their incentives to lure people into the greater adoption of solar energy. Alberta, for example, has the Alberta Municipal Solar Program introduced in 2016. This program is meant to provide rebates of up to $0.75 per watt. According to the program, every project attracts a maximum of $300,000 in rebates. There is also the On-Farm Solar Management program which provides $500,000 in provincial and federal funding for Alberta farms that want to adopt solar power technology.
Incentives such as these are encouraging more farmers to adopt the use of solar power technology in their farms and for various farming processes. Feedback from farmers in different parts of Canada also suggests that they are receiving solar power technology well. In fact, many view it as a long-term investment that will serve them even 20 to 30 years down the line.
But perhaps what pleases most farmers about solar power technology is the fact that it gives them more control over their lives and the activities of their farms. The energy savings and the versatility of solar power energy also serve as significant points of satisfaction for farmers. Whatever the case, Canada’s farmers, agree that solar power technology offers a lasting solution to their energy needs.

Reboots and remakes are everywhere these days. From Ghostbusters to Gumby, all of our favorite classics are getting the onscreen makeover treatment and now the late ’80s sitcom, ALF, is next in line. Deadline reports that the distribution rights for the fuzzy alien have been sold by Lionsgate to Shout! Factory. Teaming up with Alien Productions, the two companies have their eyes set on bringing the original series, as well as its two animated spinoffs and singular film offshoot, back to screens everywhere. This is while also creating their own content surrounding the world of ALF.
The news of the acquisition was made by Shout! co-founders and CEOs, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, as well as Alien Productions team, Paul Fusco and Brian Patchett. Both teams hope to bring the puppet-led show to digital media platforms, streaming-based domestic syndications, and on-demand programming. Prior to the new takeover, fans could catch the series on streaming service Tubi, in a deal that Fox struck with Lionsgate.
Running on NBC from 1986 until 1990, ALF told the story of a sarcastic, brown, furry alien named Gordon Shumway. While zooming through space after leaving his home planet, Melmac, Gordon’s craft took a dive and crashed into a garage. Luckily for him, the garage belonged to the Tanner’s, a kind sitcom family. Quickly showing their new visitor generosity and care, the Tanner’s boarded the misplaced extraterrestrial, deciding to rename and call him ALF (Alien Life Form). Through countless hijinks, the Tanners and ALF found themselves in strange situations, but would always come together to get through it. A household hit, the series was the brainchild of Tom Patchett, who fans may know from his work on The Carol Burnett Show, and Paul Fusco, who also served the series as the puppeteer for the titular ALF.
Boasting a huge docket of content, Shout! Factory gained exclusive U.S. rights to ALF across its streaming service, Shout! Factory TV. The list of content includes 102 episodes of the original live-action series, 26 episodes of ALF: The Animated Series, 21 episodes of the animated ALF Tales, made-for-TV movie Project: ALF as well as the rights to create new pieces based around the storyline of the lovable alien. In a statement released to celebrate the ALF takeover, Shout’s SVP of programming and new business development, Jeffrey Peisch, shared his enthusiasm for bringing the beloved show back to screens everywhere and working with the original creators, Paul Fusco and Tom Patchett. Peisch also referred to the series as an “instant classic” and is confident that it will continue to bring in viewers from “multiple generations.”
Following the failed reboot of the series by Warner Bros. Television in 2018, we are happy to see that we can expect new stories to be told around the witty and charismatic alien. Though no more information has been released at this time, hopefully, we will see ALF again soon. And whatever the new content may bring, let’s just hope it doesn’t involve ALF finally getting his wish of eating the family dog.

PETALING JAYA: Securemetric Bhd has set its sights on becoming a major digital security player across South-East-Asia, by banking on its regional expansion strategy and the synergistic benefits from its new substantial shareholder – China’s Feitian Technologies Co Ltd.
The ACE Market-listed company, which went public in November 2018, also expects its future growth to be driven by its increasing client base and the company’s soon-to-be-launched pay-per-use business model.
Group chief executive officer Edward Law told StarBiz that with Feitian Technologies as its partner, Securemetric plans to venture into new South-East-Asia markets namely Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia.
At present, aside from Malaysia, Securemetric has presence in Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam.
“We will be leveraging on Feitian Technologies’ products to enter these new markets.
“With Feitian Technologies’ strong competence in digital security hardware, we see high potential for us to do more cross-selling by bundling some of its hardware devices with our digital security solutions for projects in this region.
“Feitian Technologies has strong know-how in digital security hardware development while Securemetric’s core expertise lies in digital security software. We foresee a lot of synergies between both parties and are confident this collaboration will contribute positively to both parties,” said Law.
According to Feitian Technologies’ website, it has been “the No.1 supplier of user authentication and transaction security” for China’s online banking segment. Globally, its international business has served customers in over 100 countries.
Feitian Technologies emerged as Securemetric’s new substantial shareholder in March this year, after it acquired an 8.2% stake in the digital security player through an off-market deal.
For context, both companies have had a long working relationship prior to the acquisition of equity interest.
In an earlier report by StarBiz, Feitian Technologies’ chief financial officer Zhu Bao Xiang had indicated that the firm may increase its stake in Securemetric, if the opportunity arises.
Law said that the new direction and policies by the governments in the region that are leaning towards the strengthening of cyber-security provide promising opportunities for Securemetric to expand its footprint in South-East Asia.
They include the introduction of Risk Management in Technology (RMiT) guidelines by Bank Negara, which is applicable to financial institutions.
“The implementation of RMiT brings highly positive prospects to cyber security industry and to Securemetric.
“Our core offerings in the digital security solutions and domain expertise in the area of public key infrastructure, Crypto Key Management, Mobile Application Security, Stronger User Authentication, Certificate Lifecycle Management can perfectly help financial institutions to comply with this policy,” he said.
Moving forward, Securemetric is looking to generate a stronger and sustainable recurring income stream to reduce dependency on contract-based revenue.
In line with this, Law said the company’s first “Security As A Service” pay-per-use business model will be introduced in the third quarter of financial year 2019.
Within the next five years, Securemetric expects 50% of its top line to be contributed by the recurring income stream.
“In fact, one of the key reasons we decided to go for listing is to establish a solid funding platform to enable Securemetric to carry out aggressive diversification into offering ‘Security As A Service’”.
“We had identified a few key security services that we are confident could bring highly positive prospects to the company in the long run.
“The first three “Security As A Service” currently in our pipeline to be launched are “Authentication As A Service”, “Mobile Application Security As A Service” and “Digital Signing As A Service”. All the managed services will be offered by following the ‘pay-per-use’ model,” he said.
Year-to-date, the stock has risen by about 39% to 55.5 sen. Listed on Nov 13, 2018 with an issue price of 25 sen, Securemetric focuses on software licensing protection, two-factor authentication, advanced identity and access management, public key infrastructure and cryptography.

There are four distinct seasons to be experienced in this beautiful region. Within 90 minutes of your doorstep are 17 alpine and Nordic ski resorts, 45 golf courses, a myriad of lakes, rivers, and far more hiking and biking trails than one could ever count. But let’s say you prefer a telephoto lens to a fishing line. To the west, the Sierra mountains beckon you to Lake Tahoe, home of some of the world’s bluest waters, most beautiful peaks and FannyBridge, the spot where the Lake begins emptying snow runoff into the Truckee.
Meandering down the mountain, the clear, cold Truckee runs through Reno and ends in the stark desert beauty of Pyramid Lake, home to American white pelicans and Lahontan cutthroat trout, about 10 minutes to the northeast. To the south, are low lying hills through which the new I-580 winds its way to Carson City, Nevada’s picturesque capital, South Lake Tahoe, and on down the eastern edge of the Sierra to Yosemite, Mammoth and southern California. To the north, Peavine Mountain anchors rolling hills and stunning sunsets in the distance.
Across the valley, beyond the cities of Reno and Sparks, the Virginia Range stretches south to north, where the Truckee River cuts through. The sun and moon rise from out there, also at eye level.Two. It is a small world. The airport, university, downtown, and virtually all local destinations are within 20 minutes of your door. There are two major medical centers, including the premier children’s center between Salt Lake City and San Francisco. Lake Tahoe is 25 to 45 minutes away, depending on whether you’re visiting the north or south shore. Every western city is a short plane ride away.

Listen to jazz all summer at Skansen! Begin June 17-19 with the popular Stockholm Jazz Festival, and continue with concerts in the jazz series Blå måndag, starting off with the famous jazz singer Georgie Fame the July 11.
Sthlm Jazz Fest 2011
The Stockholm Jazz Festival moved to Skansen this year after having spent many years on the island Skeppsholmen, close to the Moderna Museet. The reason the festival chose Skansen is mainly because it is widely recognised as one of Stockholm and Sweden's national treasures, and has in recent years been a platform for some of the most acclaimed musical performances. It also hosts the hugely successful Allsång – a live broadcast sing-a-long program that takes place on the Solliden stage, a critical as well as commercial success.
This year's festival, scheduled to take place in the heat of summer will bring together two musical juggernauts and promises to be a memorable one. The dates to remember are the June 17 to 19.
For more information go to Sthlm Jazz Fest 2011
Blå måndag – blue mondays
Mondays are dedicated to jazz when the jazz series Blå måndag starts July 11. It is a whole package of enjoyable events on different venues at Skansen – from the porch at Gubbhyllan where one can start with good food listening to live jazz music, to the concert on the Solliden stage and then the dancing to ballroom band at the Galejan dance pavillion to round up the night.

An unexpectedly strong Christmas at theaters beat back fears that the absence of “The Interview” (Sony) from most complexes or an uncertain lineup of films might take its toll on one of the most important weeks of the year. The top ten was led by two films with strong appeal to women, Angelina Jolie’s prisoner-of-war drama “Unbroken” (Universal) and Disney’s Stephen Sondheim fairytale musical “Into the Woods” (Buena Vista) for a box office total of around $67 million, just about equal to the last two years.
“Unbroken” took in an estimated $15.6 million; “Into the Woods,” about $15.1 million.
The bounty spread to other films, including third-placed “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” (Warner Bros.), which with $13,140,000 million grossed $3.8 million more than last year’s “Hobbit” (helped by a week’s less playing time), with the nine-day total at $127 million, compared to $149 million in 2013 through Christmas Day.
Two limited releases showed serious strength: In only four theaters, “American Sniper” (Warner Bros.) took in $240,000 for a staggering one-day per-screen-average of $60,000; in 19 theaters and four cities, “Selma” (Paramount) grossed $322,000, for a respectable PSA of just under $17,000. And despite playing in just over 300 lower-grossing indie theaters and competing with online availability, “The Interview” took in around $1 million (riding priceless publicity for Sony and its home-viewing alternatives). Moviegoers dominated Twitter with their Christmas holiday reactions to “The Interview.”
Christmas Day is often the highest-grossing holiday of the year, with an adult skew. Opening Christmas Day films can deliver their best showing (with the added benefit of Christmas Eve previews), only to see positions change over the following days. In particular, family-oriented films soar right after December 25. But initial performance remains an important indicator of how the rest of the holiday period will roll out.
Taking fourth was “Night of the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” (Twentieth Century Fox) with $7.35 million, and in fifth “The Gambler” (Paramount), another new entry, with $5.0 million. “Annie” (Sony) added $4.6 million for sixth place.
In seventh, “The Imitation Game” (Weinstein) outperformed its excellent track record so far with an outstanding $3.1 million in 747 theaters. (By comparison, “The King’s Speech,” also expanding on Dec. 25, did $2.1 million in 700 theaters.) Box office disappointment “Exodus: Gods and Kings” (Fox) was eighth with $3.0, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” (Lionsgate) ninth with $2.7 (a bit ahead of “Catching Fire” last year) and “Wild” (Fox Searchlight”) tenth with $1.7.
The other new nationwide release, Weinstein’s semi-wide release of Tim Burton’s “Big Eyes” managed just over $1.4 million in 1,307 theaters for the 12th slot, behind “Top Five” (Paramount) with $1.5 million. Expect Buena Vista’s “Big Hero 6” (about $1.3 million Thursday) to climb in the rankings as kids come out in force over the weekend. Other shifts in position should occur as the new openers recede about a third or more from their Christmas Day take, while “The Hobbit” likely holds well to take #1 for the three-day weekend.
“American Sniper” and its $240,000 single day total in only four theaters (two in Manhattan, one each in Los Angeles and Dallas) are unprecedented for a limited Christmas Day opening, with no other film even coming close. And it saw numerous sellouts despite the huge gross, led by a staggering $98,000 for the day (including its Tuesday night “preview”) at the Arclight Hollywood. By comparison, similarly war-themed biopic “Lone Survivor” last Dec. 25 grossed $36,000 at two theaters, ending up just under $100 million when it went wide in January. Previous Clint Eastwood films have opened limited, but nothing close to this big. “Gran Torino” took in $272,000 in 6 its initial full weekend, while “Million Dollar Baby” in 8 grossed $180,000 its opening three days. Christmas Day for “Zero Dark 30” in 2012 (the end of its initial week) had a PSA of $22,000 in 6 compared to $60,000 for “Sniper.” If these comparisons hold, Warner Bros. might be looking at a stunning $150 million + domestic gross here, which could make it even adjusting for inflation the biggest hit in the 84 year old director’s career.
“Selma” in 19 theaters with an excellent estimated $322,000 would have stood out more without “Sniper”‘s dramatic numbers. Its wider run, including Washington and Atlanta, and more theaters than usual in New York reduced its PSA somewhat, but about $17,000 for one day is still impressive. Still, it lags behind “Precious,” which had an opening day PSA (in 18 theaters on an early November Friday) of over $32,000. “Selma” did beat “12 Years a Slave” opening of $14,400 (also 18, mid October). Paramount looks like it made the right choice in opening slowly to build word of mouth before going wide next month right after the Oscar nominations (and not coincidentally, Martin Luther King Birthday).


If We Can Make It There…
The first big comic convention of the year, New York Comic Con, kicks off this Friday with opportunities to say hi to two of the Halfpixel / Webcomics Weekly crew.
Brad Guigar will be in the Small Press area — booth number 2442 — exhibiting under the Evil Inc flag. And Scott Kurtz will be making a rare East Coast appearance as he hangs out at the Penny Arcade table.

Snow coming on. The year winding down for all us Julian calendar types. People are posting their year end wrap-ups. Most of the time I don’t read them and we know this lil journal is self absorbed enough that I probabaly shouldn’t write one; I’m always chewing over the meaning, for me, of what just happened, to me. But here goes anyway:
When I think about where things are at just now for the country, here’s the image that comes up: we have been sick, sick in body and sick at heart for years now. Those who have believed in the current crop of leaders, have seen the economy turn to quicksand, the moral compromise of many of those leaders, and the elusiveness of the supposed security those leaders promised. For those of us who chafed under the Bush administration, we have endured the unease of seeing Cheney’s termites at work on the constitution, and watched helplessly while the rest of the world came to regard us as either rapacious porn peddlers or half crazed bullies. On either side, impotence and frustration. You can’t walk around with that kind of knowledge year after year and not feel its effect. So this year’s election asked us in effect: you’re sick, what are you prepared to do about it?
Amazingly, America somehow summoned the courage to go with the unknown, experimental treatment. We don’t know if it’s going to work. We haven’t even begun to feel the real effects of the pill we took this November. But one of the immediate benefits was the reaffirmation of the American willingness to strike out in a new direction, something that in itself is powerful in its implications. At a time when so many nations, frozen in their suffering, have been unable to make change or worse have chosen to retreat into more oppressive and centralized states (Russia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Israel, Iran), America’s choice highlights the underlying strength of our governing principles.
Anyone who has done any sort of recovery work will recognize this feeling: you start going to meetings and you start experiencing the “Pink Cloud”: hey I decided to stop drinking and now all my problems are solved! I can pay my rent! I feel great about everyone, and so on. After a short time comes the inevitable crash: the problems that one was turning away from with addiction are separate from the the addiction itself. And so you have to begin the painful work of facing each of those problems sober. It can feel scary and tempt one to despair to see the full extent of the mess the binge has caused. It’s this queasiness that I feel the country is in now. The full extent of our challenges remain unknown, and as they come into focus it’s tempting to question our choice to face them. And many are bone weary. But the choice was the right one

Above the galleries of the Delaware Museum of Natural History are millions of scientific specimens.
This scientific collection serves as a record of biodiversity on Earth. The Delaware Museum of Natural History’s research collections have a strong emphasis on birds and mollusks (shells), reflecting the original collecting interests of our founder, John E. du Pont. Both major collections are worldwide in scope, but also have a large number of specimens from the Delmarva Peninsula.
Scientists around the world and at the Museum study our specimens to learn more about the natural world.
Their results are published in a variety of scientific journals and books. In addition, staff continue to build and update databases containing information about our holdings and their data, which scientists search for specimen information. As more is discovered about the natural world, scientists investigate new questions. Scientists use collections to learn how species are connected and how they’ve changed over time. The effects of humanity’s impact on the planet, including pollution and environmental changes, can be detected in specimens collected over time. To meet these
challenges today and in the future, the collection is cared for to prevent damage, and new specimens are added.
Most of these specimens were collected by scientists as they explored the Earth’s diversity of life and conducted scientific research.
Each specimen includes data: the species name, and where and when it was collected, helping scientists document changes in the natural world over the last century. This data is crucial for making a specimen valuable for scientific research. They help document many of the changes in the natural world over the last century. But as the natural world continues to change, scientists continue to investigate new questions. Parts of the Earth, particularly the oceans, remain poorly explored. To meet these new challenges, the staff continues to add new specimens so our collections will continue to be useful to scientists in their research.
