Biogas is a renewable non-intermittent energy source with the potential to produce up to 40% of Brazil’s energy demand and replace 70% of its diesel consumption. However, the country’s current biogas capacity of 300 MW is highly concentrated in projects developed by large groups. This limits the expansion of biogas: it represents less than 0,1% of the energy mix.
On the other hand, there is an ecosystem of independent developers operating in more flexible business models, who could unlock substantial volumes for the sector. An assessment of these developers points to double the country’s capacity within 2 years. Although credit lines are plenty, independent biogas project developers are limited by guarantee requirements from lenders, who often demand real-estate or cash guarantees of up to 120% of the loan value.
The GFB is the first environmental guarantee fund in Brazil targeting private investors that seek to leverage existing credit lines for biogas projects. It is an opportunity for investors to not only foster biogas adoption in Brazil but also kick-start the country’s market for environmental guarantee funds.
A blended finance structure helps keep fees low for developers, while still providing market returns for senior tranche investors. The substitution of real-estate collateral for quasi-cash guarantees enables lower interest rates on debt operations.
“Brazil has the highest potential in the world for biogas. However, due to a lack of knowledge about the financial aspects of biogas projects, the perception of risk by banks and financial institutions is too high. The Lab’s expertise will help us design and launch an attractive, workable financial product,” – Alessandro Gardemann, President, ABiogas
The pilot fund targets agriculture waste inputs to enable an initial loan portfolio of USD 67 million, which will reach up to USD 258million in 10 years. The pilot will enable 43 projects and is expected to mitigate up to 331,000 tons CO2e per year over its first 10 years.
Individual project guarantees, capped at 10% of each project, will range from USD 530,000 to USD 6 million.
The GFB will be set up as a closed fixed-income fund (art. 113 of CVM Instruction nº 555), investing solely in Brazilian treasury bills and pledging its shares as collateral. The fund will invest up to 100% of its resources on Brazilian treasury bills, ensuring a sovereign-level risk to underlying assets.
For each operation, the fund will charge a yearly fee from biogas developers, which will be its main source of revenue. In return, the fund will pledge its shares as financial guarantees for project loans.
The fund will provide yearly yields for senior tranche investors, while concessional investors are expected to be repaid only at the end of the fund’s 10-year lifespan. Due to the revolving nature of the guarantees, during these 10 years, the fund will be able to pledge its resources many times over. That, combined with the fund’s ability to leverage up to three times its resources once a track record is established, means the fund has the potential to generate an increasingly higher impact on the sector.

This is not my usual photo essay about a particular journey. Rather, it’s a compendium from traveling down memory lane, or I should say down memory tracks, as it’s based on the several years I was a volunteer National Parks docent in that agency’s Rails and Trails Program.
Our local unit was sponsored by the under-recognized Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park, located in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. Interestingly, the companion to that museum is located at the other end of the Gold Rush pathway — in Skagway, Alaska. Seattle merchants likely made out much better financially than those who actually ventured to the Yukon, but that’s another story. The two train routes utilized in the local program were the Coast Starlight down to Los Angeles and the Empire Builder east to Chicago.
This piece will focus on the latter, but I’ll mention briefly our one-day run south to Portland and back, with narration going southbound with regard to both natural and human history. Nature’s mention included, of course, majestic Mount Rainier, but also a peek at what remained of Mount St. Helens (both anointed by British exploration) and the mysterious Mina Mounds near Olympia.
Human history had many mentioned pioneer anecdotes and the last of those explained why we would be detraining in Portland, Oregon and not in Boston, Oregon. The highlight of the entire journey, however, was the scenic stretch running along the Tacoma Narrows. Docents would point out the visible double spans across the South Sound and then tell the tale of “Galloping Gertie,” the first bridge at that site, the remains of which remain submerged as a useful “reef” beneath the two existing spans. We would always urge passengers to view the YouTube videos showing how concrete and steel could twist like spaghetti in their resonance with high winds on the day it was torn apart (Nov. 7,1940 — having only been opened on July 1 of that year).
It is remarkable that only a dog left behind in a car was lost. It then took a decade for a replacement span to be built and in 2007 the newest span was completed. Unfortunately, in the interest of shaving time spent en route to Portland, this scenic bypass has been excerpted from the route, tragically resulting in a derailment during the early transition runs on the new routing.
Our other run was on the Great Northern’s Empire Builder, and was a bigger commitment for volunteers, lasting through three days out and back. Interestingly, even though my wife and I hadn’t yet moved to Edmonds, most volunteers preferred to board and pick up the support trunk at the Edmonds station rather than get on at King Street Station in Seattle. The usual turnaround for the round trip was Havre, Montana, with the most spectacular narrated portion being from Whitefish, Montana over Marias Pass, going along the southern edge of Glacier National Park and the out onto the plains until Shelby, Montana.
This portion definitely would justify its own story. But this piece is more locally directed and will address only the initial evening’s narrated travel from Everett eastward to Stevens Pass and on through the Cascade Tunnel to Wenatchee. Over the summer season of the program, it would remain light until that narration, and then we’d join the passengers in trying to sleep. Usually, the joining up of the Portland portion of the Empire Builder in Spokane around 1 a.m. would disrupt those plans.
Few of us later arrivals to this area realize how important transcontinental rail service was to growth of the Seattle area, even more than the steamship access was during the Gold Rush. The Great Northern route over Stevens Pass was an attempt to bolster that growth, though looking back it wasn’t the wisest selection for routing. Nonetheless. two bold historical figures — the project engineer John Frank Stevens and the entrepreneur “Empire Builder” James J. Hill — made this route a reality.
As an aside, I should note that there was yet another railroad designed to expedite area growth. Remarkably, as per its name, the Milwaukee Road began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was haphazardly routed to Hyak on Snoqualmie Pass. It even marketed the new access of midwesterners to the ski area that was built there. It opened in June 1909 and a few years later, a 2.3-mile tunnel shortened the transit distance. The route continued along the present route of I-90 to then follow Highway 18 to Maple Valley, and then had a final short connection to the main North-South corridor. Early in its existence, the Milwaukee line was electrified and became the longest electric line in the world. The line was never financially successful and the ski lodge was not replaced after a 1949 fire. The route itself lasted until 1980. The portion from Hyak through the tunnel and over the trestles to Rattlesnake Lake is now part of the John Wayne Pioneer Trail across Washington known as Iron Horse State Park. In days of yore, I had the pleasure of descending on that portion several times.
Well, let’s get back to Stevens Pass. Thanks to the grueling survey work in the years of 1890-91, an original route over the pass was chosen and opened. It involved a series of switchbacks and trestles, and even required trains to reverse and move to another track. Only a few snowsheds provided meager protection against avalanches. The defining statistic on this initial route is that it took 13 miles of track to connect two points only three miles apart. Clearly, improvement was needed, and the route was improved when a tunnel tunnel was completed in 1900. It was over 4km long, and at just over 3,000 feet of elevation, well below the highest point of the pass. It reduced the grade and markedly reduced transit distance. More than a dozen snow sheds were still necessary. One major draw back was lack of ventilation, and the tragic loss of a crew of a stalled train was narrowly averted in 1903. Overall, it seemed that this second route would serve well for a long time.
The evening narration via the train intercom (we wouldn’t have an observation car until the Portland section hooked on in Spokane) was fairly short on history, but for nature, it highlighted a peek of Mt Rainier before Monroe, and many beautiful glimpses of the mountains (particularly, near Index) and several visible portions on the Skykomish River. When we came near to the flat watering site of the town of Skykomish, we would note that we were now approaching the Cascade Tunnel, the longest rail tunnel in the U.S. at a length of over eight miles. (A somewhat longer tunnel lies north in British Columbia and the longest in the world are in the European Alps). We could mention the earlier tunnel, but we were not allowed to explain what had prompted the construction of the new tunnel, even though we were traveling during the summer and well below the old tunnel route. This restraint on information to the extent of not mentioning what was the signature event in the history of crossing this pass, was of the same mentality that has led airlines to never make available movies involving airplane misadventures, even those of comic nature like “Airplane!” Still, what happened in 1910 has little connection to the current rail travel over the pass, other than as a notable piece of tragic history that merits attention.
In February 1910, there had been an unusual accumulation of new snow near the railroad stop of Wellington, just under a mile upslope from the alpine town of Scenic. Two trains were blocked there at both ends — a westbound passenger train from Spokane and a mail train. They had been stuck for more than five days, trying to rely on the limited local resources, which was in part due to the railroad managers being unwilling to pay workers what they were demanding for digging the tracks free of snow. Then, on March 1,1910, at a bit past midnight, as a Great Northern employee has described, a “White Death” came coursing down the mountain and swept both trains downhill toward Scenic. (During the time of delay, some passengers had even trekked to the Scenic Hotel for meals).
In a matter of a minute or so, 96 passengers and crew lost their lives. Some pieces of wreckage remained exposed, and perhaps some air pockets, which amazingly resulted in 23 survivors. Now, approaching 113 years since this horrible event, it remains by far the greatest loss of life from an avalanche, since such natural disasters usually strike small groupings of climbers, skiers or snowmobilers. There is not sufficient space to cover this event and its aftermath here, but anyone interested can pursue more detailed accounts in Wikipedia or other sources, but if someone wants to read an almost “TMI” level of information, tracing the enfolding story through many affected individuals, I recommend reading The White Cascade by Gary Kris published in early 2008. Even though I wouldn’t be allowed to pass on what I might learn, I attended his book signing at the old Elliott Bay Bookstore location fittingly then in Seattle’s Pioneer Square.
I did take a recent car trip to just past Skykomish in the quest for snow, but on that day there was none. The trip stirred up nostalgia about the countless similar car trips I had taken on that highway, annually to Wenatchee to get fresh red haven peaches, or just to Leavenworth to get a taste of “Bavaria.” Even before we took a Rick Steves trip to the real deal, I was never really fooled, but still enjoyed visiting or winter stayovers. I even thought back to biking on organized rides over the pass several times from Leavenworth and coasting down through the trees on a portion of the old Stevens highway enroute to Skykomish. We must have passed near the old town of Scenic.
Allow me one last aside: If one wants hours of reading a more contemporary version of this locale, I recommend the late Mary Daheim’s A to Z series of mysteries set in the fictional town of Alpine (perhaps Scenic?). Anyway, my nostalgia certainly steered me to the scores of times I had done this route by rail, not only for Amtrak, but for personal summer visits to Glacier National Park, and even in the dark of winter when my wife and I would overnight to Whitefish, Montana and be skiing right after an early arrival. (Remember, one hour later than Edmonds).
If any readers want to actualize this mind tour, they can note the faint signs of the old route when they drive over the pass and — in the autumn — the different vegetation on the vertical avalanche chutes on the opposing slopes. In addition to experiencing rail travel via Amtrak, one can go through the tunnel on one of the winter holiday trains to our “Little Bavaria.” Finally. in non-snow- piled times of the year, one can hike (or even wheelchair a portion) of the Iron Goat Trail, which honors the history of those who, only a century or so back, didn’t have such modern amenities or assurances of safe travel. Anyway, on this March 1, I hope you’ll ignore Amtrak’s censure of awareness and give this still relevant occurrence some brief passing thought.

Armenia fires ballistic missiles at Azerbaijan’s civilian settlements
Armenian forces have fired multiple ballistic missiles at Azerbaijani civilians and the public infrastructure, said Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry on Thursday.
MISSILE ATTACK DID NOT CLAIM ANY LIVES
“On Oct. 22 in the morning, the territory of Azerbaijan was exposed to ballistic missiles fired using the operational-tactical missile complex from the territory of Armenia,” the ministry said in a statement.
It added: “The enemy fired 3 missiles in the direction of the Siyazan region at about 07.00 [0300GMT], 2 missiles in the direction of the Gabala region, and 1 missile in the direction of the Kurdamir region at about 09.00 [0500GMT].”
According to the statement, the missile attack did not claim any lives but material losses have yet to be announced.

Birthrights highlighted the following example in their advice about consent and the Montgomery case.1 It is a concise example of what women should expect from an informed consent discussion.
‘Far from threatening doctors with more claims, proper disclosure of risks should protect the medical profession from litigation and lead to patients bearing responsibility for their own decisions. Respect for patient autonomy means that patients take responsibility.’
An example: post-dates induction
‘Post-dates induction provides a useful example of how informed consent ought to work in practice. The obstetrician must make time for a genuine dialogue with the woman. Hospital information sheets on induction are not a sufficient basis for making informed decisions. During the dialogue, the doctor cannot not simply impart facts or hospital policy without taking account of the woman’s particular situation and wishes for the birth.
‘The conversation must be personalised – it would differ between a first-time mother and a woman who has already had children; or between a woman who wants to give birth vaginally and a woman who is concerned about vaginal birth.
‘The obstetrician should explain the risks of exceeding her due date using accurate and comprehensible information that does not put undue pressure on the woman (stating only that ‘your baby might die‘ would not be considered sufficient information).
‘She should then be told of ‘any material risks‘ of induction to both herself and her baby. It is obvious that most women would wish to know the likelihood of success and failure of induction in that clinician’s experience at the hospital in question, and the risks should induction fail. These will include fetal distress, assisted birth, with consequent potential for perineal trauma, and emergency caesarean section.
‘The obstetrician should suggest alternative courses of action, including waiting for natural labour to begin and elective caesarean section.’
How often does this happen?
From our experiences at AIMS we have noticed that this ‘discussion of risks’ also frequently appears to exlude the risks of forceps deliver y to the baby, which was a significant factor in the Montgomery case.

The power of the Bitcoin network has suddenly collapsed. A general Internet blackout, accompanied by a blackout, shut down most mining farms located in Kazakhstan. In the face of the riots, the authorities cut off Internet access throughout the country.
A few days after the New Year, the power of the Bitcoin network (hashrate) reached a new record. On January 2, 2022, the average power of the mining network rose above 200 exahashes per second (Eh / s). With this power rising sharply, BTC mining has become more profitable.
To produce bitcoins, it is indeed necessary to perform complex mathematical calculations using dedicated machines, the famous Asics. The hashrate corresponds to the overall power supplied by the mining machines which are responsible for securing the network and the transactions.
On the same theme: Bitcoin, Ether and most cryptocurrencies collapse again
The crisis in Kazakhstan weighs down the Bitcoin network
A few days after this record, the Bitcoin network hashrate completely collapsed. In the space of a few hours, grid power contracted by 12%. This meteoric decline is due to a major Internet blackout in Kazakhstan.
According to information from NetBlocks, the organization that monitors cybersecurity and Internet governance, an Internet failure affected the whole of Kazakhstan on Wednesday January 4, 2022. The network failure was followed by a major blackout. The organization suggests that the Internet network would have been deliberately cut off at the request of the authorities in order to reduce the means of communication of demonstrators. Forced by the authorities, Kazakhtelecom, the nation’s main ISP, was reportedly forced to block citizens’ Internet access.
Kazakhstan is currently the scene of violent riots. Demonstrators are protesting against rising fuel prices, especially liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices. Faced with the scale of the riots, Kassym-Jomart Tokaïev, president of the country, declared a state of emergency. Journalists and media correspondents abroad are currently unreachable.
As a reminder, mining farms in Kazakhstan represent up to 18% of the total power of the Bitcoin network. It would be the third country with the highest concentration of hashrate, behind the United States. After being excluded from China, many minors relocated to Kazakh territory, where the price of electricity is reduced. Faced with the influx of cryptocurrency miners, the country has reportedly recorded high energy consumption. This additional pressure has already caused blackouts in early December 2021.

Sarah is the only other character besides Rianna to have a life outside of being a Warder. Being only 16 Sarah lives with her parents and is forced to go to school. Sarah is also the most tormented of the group. Coming from a very broken home and two abusive parents Sarah eventually snapped. Sarah has more anger issues than the rest of the team combined and does not like Kinnuk or Alice at all.
Sarah is the cause of most the teams ire as her basic personality puts her at odds with the everyone on the team. The only exception to this is Rako. Sarah had met Rako 10 years prior to becoming a Warder. Rako had intervened during a particular bad event of abuse was taking place in public, and Sarah latched on. Eventually Sarah was able to get a hold of a computer and found Rako online, befriending the much older male.
Eventually, Sarah was given the option of becoming a Warder. Rako had agreed to join the team on Earth on one single condition, that Sarah be made into a Warder and given access to many tools to help her overcome her situation in life. With the offer Sarah gained not only 5 people forced to put up with her, but also access to Tome of Knowledge, a massive source of information. The Warder's hoped that with such a great tool, Sarah would be able to work through her issues, even giving her a companion along with the Tome, something to help and guide her.
All of this is quite new however, and Sarah is still subject to her parents harshness, and isn't making that much progress and still takes her aggression out on others, and with her knew powers, can be extremely deadly. But her rage does give the team on advantage, having such destructive potential just waiting to go off is very bad for the other side.
There you go, Sarah in a nutshell. Hope she scares you as much as she scares me. o.O

Spatiotemporal Variability of Dimethylsulphoniopropionate on a Fringing Coral Reef : The Role of Reefal Carbonate Chemistry and Environmental Variability
MetadataShow full item record
Altmetrics Handle Statistics
Altmetrics DOI Statistics
Oceanic pH is projected to decrease by up to 0.5 units by 2100 (a process known as ocean acidification, OA), reducing the calcium carbonate saturation state of the oceans. The coastal ocean is expected to experience periods of even lower carbonate saturation state because of the inherent natural variability of coastal habitats. Thus, in order to accurately project the impact of OA on the coastal ocean, we must first understand its natural variability. The production of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) by marine algae and the release of DMSP's breakdown product dimethylsulphide (DMS) are often related to environmental stress. This study investigated the spatiotemporal response of tropical macroalgae (Padina sp., Amphiroa sp. and Turbinaria sp.) and the overlying water column to natural changes in reefal carbonate chemistry. We compared macroalgal intracellular DMSP and water column DMSP+DMS concentrations between the environmentally stable reef crest and environmentally variable reef flat of the fringing Suleman Reef, Egypt, over 45-hour sampling periods. Similar diel patterns were observed throughout: maximum intracellular DMSP and water column DMS/P concentrations were observed at night, coinciding with the time of lowest carbonate saturation state. Spatially, water column DMS/P concentrations were highest over areas dominated by seagrass and macroalgae (dissolved DMS/P) and phytoplankton (particulate DMS/P) rather than corals. This research suggests that macroalgae may use DMSP to maintain metabolic function during periods of low carbonate saturation state. In the reef system, seagrass and macroalgae may be more important benthic producers of dissolved DMS/P than corals. An increase in DMS/P concentrations during periods of low carbonate saturation state may become ecologically important in the future under an OA regime, impacting larval settlement and increasing atmospheric emissions of DMS.

And it will be even worse now. It costs more while IL-2 bombing run will now reliable intawipe it.
And yes guys, I know that the bombing run buff was needed, this just doesn't the fact that PAK-43 is now worse than it ever was.
I actually think the IL-2 bomb strike will now no longer kill the PAK-43. It used to drop 4 bombs at the same spot, so every bomb would do damage to the PAK43, wrecking it every time. Now that they are dropped in a line, the outer 2 bombs probably won't even hit it.
The IL-2 strike is now harder to completely dodge, but it does less damage to targets that can't/won't move because the damage is done in a line rather than in a concentrated spot.


A conflict-aware scheduling algorithm is being developed to help automate the allocation of NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas and equipment that are used to communicate with interplanetary scientific spacecraft. The current approach for scheduling DSN ground resources seeks to provide an equitable distribution of tracking services among the multiple scientific missions and is very labor intensive. Due to the large (and increasing) number of mission requests for DSN services, combined with technical and geometric constraints, the DSN is highly oversubscribed. To help automate the process, and reduce the DSN and spaceflight project labor effort required for initiating, maintaining, and negotiating schedules, a new scheduling algorithm is being developed.
The scheduling algorithm generates a "conflict-aware" schedule, where all requests are scheduled based on a dynamic priority scheme. The conflict-aware scheduling algorithm allocates requests for DSN tracking services while identifying and maintaining the conflicts to facilitate collaboration and negotiation between spaceflight missions. These contrast with traditional "conflict-free" scheduling algorithms that assign tracks that are not in conflict and mark the remainder as unscheduled. In the case where full schedule automation is desired (based on mission/event priorities, fairness, allocation rules, geometric constraints, and ground system capabilities/constraints), a conflict-free schedule can easily be created from the conflict-aware schedule by removing lower priority items that are in conflict.
Unlike most existing scheduling engines that require fixed length schedule items in the request, the conflict-aware schedule provides a dynamic scheduling engine to determine allocation length during the scheduling process. This is made necessary by the variety of mission-tracking request types faced by the DSN. In addition to fixed track requests, missions may also need continuous coverage or may need to segment a track related to multiple ground assets to support a given request for service. In these cases, the schedule allocation length (time) will depend on the availability of each resource.
The conflict-aware scheduling algorithm combines scheduling heuristics, optimization, a search algorithm, and computational intelligence. At the beginning of the procedure, all requests pass through a scoring system (chosen from a simple mathematical equation or fuzzy logic) that determines the priority of each request on the basis of measures of fairness of the allocation, importance of the request, the type of request, and the allocation length. Starting with the highest priority request, technical and geometric constraints are combined to determine the available "timeline/antenna groups" for scheduling. scoring system that considers items already in the schedule and the request characteristics then identifies the best timeline/ antenna group and start times for each request. This then continues for each successive priority request (priority is recomputed dynamically) until all requests are scheduled.
The conflict-aware algorithm is not limited to DSN application. It can also be applicable to solution of scheduling problems in areas such as manufacturing and traffic control.

It started with a desperate prayer, “Lord unrush me.”
I stood at the sink trying to process the stabbing feeling in my chest. I had so much pulling at me, and really no time to enjoy any of it.
I found myself rushing my husband in conversation. Rushing my kids out the door. Rushing to the next thing and then the next. Rushing to make dinner and then rushing my people through dinner.
Exhaustion gnawed, deep places in my heart begging me to slow down, but how? I’ve made my decisions and now my decisions have made me.
Have you ever felt like you’ve set your life to the rhythm of rush? That simple prayer “Lord, unrush me” is a great place to start getting back that joyful, less frantic version of you.

EDITORIAL: Legacy of former SEC Commissioner Mike Slive
The passing of former SEC commissioner Mike Slive in Birmingham leaves an enduring legacy that will likely never be matched.
After a career in law, Slive was the founding commissioner of The Great Midwest Conference and later founding commissioner of Conference USA.
But it was as 7th commissioner of the SEC that Mike Slive made history. Under his leadership the Southeastern Conference became a national leader, some would say the national leader, winning 81 national championships in 17 sports. That included an unprecedented seven consecutive Bowl Championship Series national football championships. His founding of the SEC Network not only strengthened the league financially, it gave the SEC a national footprint.
As important as those achievements were, people who knew Mike Slive say his real interests were in integrity and inclusiveness, including the naming of the first ever African-American football coach in the SEC. Wow. Mike Slive. What more can you say.

I’m not sure why, especially considering he gets guys like Talib Kweli to guest on the show and have great conversations. Here, the two chat about Brooklyn, gentrification, and how hip-hop fashion has changed over the years. And as Kweli says, it’s a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Given that Thailand is one of the leading countries in the world in the healthcare industry they are now focusing on methods on expanding to other regions and help other countries that are in need of the high quality of health. The country has created a campaign by all the celebrities in the region to help spread awareness of the latest tragedy in Mozambique. The country has faced a natural disaster known as a cyclone which has affected the tribe there terribly in terms of their health.
This is why Thailand has decided to provided their quality healthcare to Mozambique through big campaigns to encourage people to pay for the work and push other bodies and countries to take part of the work. This was the move suggested by the UNICEF located in Thailand which forms a new move to support African countries who are in need.
This was commented on by the deputy representative for Unicef Thailand, Juan Santander who said the following: “Many children have lost their homes, schools, friends and loved ones. The cyclones took everything away from them. Over the past few months, Unicef and partners have been racing against time to provide urgent assistance to save children’s lives. The needs remain urgent and massive, as any prolonged interruption in access to essential supplies and services could lead to disease outbreaks and spikes in malnutrition, to which children are especially vulnerable. I heard heartbreaking stories of many children who have lost everything.”


Strewth! This is the twelfth month of my music blog … where do the years go, eh?
By now I hope the 126 ‘followers’ will have realised that you don’t know what to expect to be posted next: I certainly don’t. An overheard word can spark a search through my archives, as can an occasion, a news topic, an anniversary or, as in this case, an unexpected discovery.
Yesterday, a friend in Yogya was given a CD with the title I’ve used above, but no other information. We do not know the ‘who’ or ‘when’. The ‘where’ is in the title, which is the Indonesian section of the island of Borneo, famous for birds of paradise, and until recently vast swathes of tropical rain forest, much of which has been decimated in this summer’s fires.
The ‘what’ is a small group of 2 or 3 electric sapeh players, an indigenous instrument originally restricted to a form of ritualistic music to induce trance. And that’s what you get in the seven untitled tracks you can download from here.
The minimalist scales and a drone of the sapeh, over which voices and a ‘suling’ (bamboo flute) drift around in the background make for strangely hypnotic, ethereal and in parts funky, yet essentially primeval music.
Download and set your player to loop mode and be transported to hidden areas of your brain.
You’ll feel better for it.

This has been an unusual spring here on the Crystal Coast. The winds have kept most of us off the water. While wind in the spring is not unusual, continuous wind is. As the waters have warmed so has the desire to be out on them.
The passion for enjoying the water is so great here that our hearts often believe that the water is actually calmer than our mind knows it to be.
I spent some time surf fishing over on the beach last week. It was very pleasant standing in the surf flipping a lure into trough between the sandbar and the beach.
Actually it was so enjoyable that I convinced myself that it might be a good idea to go kayaking on the river. After dinner I did just that. The winds were quiet as I left the dock, but by the time I got to the river, I knew that I would not stay long. The river was impressive with some nice waves.
It did not take me long to get home. That was the third time that I have pushed my luck and believed my heart over my eyes. We will get great days soon, but waiting for them is no longer fun.
Carteret County is over one half water. People like me move here to enjoy the water. We often enjoy it to the point of exhaustion in the summer and fall. Right now I am running on memories of good times.
I do a lot of slide shows on the Internet. While in theory I do the sites with slides so that people thinking about visiting the area can have an idea of the scenery before they come, one reason behind the websites with area scenery is provide to me with an escape mechanism for those times when being on the water is impossible.
Sometimes like today, I have to visit my favorite private island in Bogue Inlet. Other days require me to take a complete trip from our dock down the White Oak, buoy by buoy, and out in the ocean by the beaches. I call that slide show Mackerel Morning.
I am hoping to be on the water by the weekend. I probably will not venture out into Bogue Inlet since this weekend will bring the crowds of Memorial Day, but they will gone by Monday or Tuesday.
Then the waters will be ours once again. Hope springs eternal that the winds will drop down as the snows in Canada stop. AS spring comes to the North, summer can safely come to the Crystal Coast.
It is time to be fishing the sounds and beaches. I can hear the waters calling me.

Watch list: 10 recommended films about medicine
Stanford Medicine film buffs recommend documentaries, feature films and short videos that offer compelling looks at the medical world.
Scope, a Stanford Medicine blog, tapped three film connoisseurs for recommendations for movies about medicine: MAREN MONSEN, MD, an accomplished filmmaker with numerous directing credits who heads Stanford Medicine’s Program in Bioethics and Film; DIANA FARID, MD, the program’s assistant director, who produced the feature-length documentary “American Rhythms” and has worked as a physician consultant for TV and film; and second-year medical student
BRONWYN SCOTT, who helped develop and facilitate Stanford’s “Medicine in the Movies” class.
Here are the titles that made their cut:
“The English Surgeon” (2007)
This film follows English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh to Ukraine, where he works with a local doctor to care for patients. “It depicts interesting dilemmas that arise when a doctor has to make choices about providing medical care when there’s not enough resources, and it explores what [a physician’s] responsibility is to patients,” Monsen says.
“The House is Black” (1963)
From filmmaker and poet Forugh Farrokhzad, this movie focuses on a leper colony in the north of Iran. “It’s so powerful, from a filmmaking standpoint, in terms of shot angles and lighting and narrative. It shows you an illness that we don’t often see in the United States,” Farid says.
This TV movie follows a professor of English literature, played by Emma Thompson, after her diagnosis of stage IV ovarian cancer. “It’s based on a play, so there’s a lot of breaking the fourth wall (speaking directly to the audience),” Scott says.
“Birth Control Your Own Adventure” (2018)
Through creative use of symbolic close-ups, a woman talks about her struggle to find a birth control method that works well for her. “One of my favorites,” Scott says. “It’s done by a filmmaker/photographer down in Southern California who is really interested in female health issues. A lot of her photography deals with aspects of female identity that’s not often revealed in society.”
Videos by ZDoggMD
With an accessible, amiable style, Zubin Damania, MD, (who formerly worked at Stanford) tackles various issues in medicine. Scott says, “It’s a little more silly, but I’m definitely a ZDogg addict.”
Read all of Monsen, Farid and Scott’s recommendations on the Scope blog.


The first time I ever had to use four-wheel drive was when I carpooled with a friend to a wedding out of town. Margaret (the name of my vehicle) climbed what seemed like a full 45-degree angle up a rocky hill. I was wearing dress heels, a floral-patterned cutout dress, and had to brush the hair that got stuck in my lipstick to watch all of the other cars behind me struggle to reach the top of the hill where our friends were getting married. It was a beautiful ceremony. However, there is something that happened on the way there that has stuck with me.
My friend and I ended up meeting in Bakersfield since it was in the middle of where the two of us lived. It was easier to meet there since both of our parents were still living in Buck Owens’ paradise. Before getting on the freeway to leave town, my friend pointed out the gigantic Confederate flag that used to wave alongside the busy long stretch of road.
“How does it make you feel seeing that?” she asked, referring to the flag that was designed to represent a divided nation, and that turned into a symbol of hate.
“You know what?” I said, still barreling down the stretch of road out of town. “I don’t like to see it, but I rather see boldness and honesty when it comes to racism than those who are quietly racist behind my back.”
A huge part of my Communications research in grad school has a lot to do with the introduction of technology and how this influences the behavior of media usage and society. I focus primarily on new and social media, but I often refer to examples from the past such as the invention of the printing press, which led to books and newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet.
There are obviously hundreds of devices and technologies that have shaped and developed the system of information sharing and public discourse that we have today, but one of the many devices that have contributed to our presently Internet-focused community of social sharing, which I never really considered before, is the Xerox machine.

Gaze up into the dark velvet blanket of sky that is decorated with an arrangement of shimmering diamonds. What appears before you is just the front door to the rest of an entire unknown universe. The possibilities of life, other worldly knowledge and further innovation is knocking and waiting for someone to open it. Although this other world of possibilities is accessible, the door is still locked. The key lies in the minds of our future generation, and to obtain that key, we would need to support education.
It definitely makes sense to be a proponent of education. Not only does it inspire the imagination of billions of individuals, but it ignites new conversations, propels our progress as the human race forward, and it helps us create new opportunities ourselves and the ways in which we live. However, when we neglect our education system, we are in return neglecting all of those inspiring and innovative creations.

Our Craft is More Modest
Happily, most readers fall between these two drastic extremes. Most of us neither shun books in veneration of literature, nor shun literature in veneration of books. Our craft is more modest. We pick our way down endless library shelves, choosing this or that volume for no discernible reason: because of a cover, a title, a name, because of something someone said or didn’t say, because of a hunch, a whim, a mistake, because we think we may find in this book a particular tale or character or detail, because we believe it was written for us, because we believe it was written for everyone except us and we want to find out why we were excluded, because we want to learn, or laugh, or lose ourselves in oblivion.

The Kaurna People
Tonight was the night my grandchildren came over to stay. They knew I always tell stories and tonight they were getting a story that was important and one they should know.
This story is about the European settlers coming to South Australia in 1836, but I’m going to tell you about my great life my family and I had before the ‘whites’ invaded.
Our territory area was mainly inland protected from the strong sea winds, rain and the sand. The inland was cold and wet so it was ideal to live inland for summer. There was plenty of firewood and materials to build large, strong huts around tree trunks. There were animal foods of different kinds that were relatively available where they lived throughout the year. In summer we could move freely around South Australia, choosing whatever area presented us the best hunting ground. But in winter we had less choice because it was so cold, dunes were cheerless in the winter. We were not protected by the strong forced gale winds, there was just no firewood to collect and most of our summer food supplies were gone or unavailable.
We were living happily and peacefully, but then the worst came, that it was until 1836 that it all stoped. Invaders came along and took it all away. These invaders were referred to as the Europeans. We never had an understanding of the Europeans, we were very different people. We had smaller groups and lacking of organisation, we suffered. The Europeans arrived with belief that they were getting land to live on and farm. The land that they thought was free had already belonged to other people. It belonged to us, the Kaurna. Not only did the Europeans take our but our homes, food supplies and sacred places of our ancestors. So with all of our precious things gone we were forced into a new way of life.
One of our significant sacred areas was Tarndanyu in the area of what is now the city of Adelaide. The choice of this site for a city meant that young Kaurna men could no longer...

The William Delray Floyd Interview
Q: William, what the hell are you doing recording YOUR FIRST album at 70 years old?
A: Why? Do you think I should have waited ‘till I was 80 and more experienced?
Q: You know what I mean ...
A: I do. Ain’t many of us septuagenarians doing it are there?
It’s just something I always wanted to do going back to when we started our first band in high school. Life got in the way, got married real young and back-burned this particular dream.
Q: I noticed you said back-burnered not abandoned?
A: I spent most of my life in a sales position of one type or another so I learned to focus, to compartmentalize and interpret the word “no” to mean not yet. So yes, I had other priorities but the Dream never died.
Q: How was it rekindled?
A: Wow! There are many parts to this answer. Several years back I was barely playing my guitar. I visited my cousins Grace and Don Goldsby in Oklahoma. Don had a great music room set up with all kind of instruments. We played all afternoon and I got the bug again. I went home and got serious.
A: Yeah. Bought some really cool guitars and played them every day. Dusted off my harps and started writing songs again.
A: Even in High School I felt we needed original material if we were to make it big. I also enjoyed the creative process. On this album you’ll find an updated version of the song “I Don’t Care”. I wrote that song 50 years ago. I have to add that back then I envisioned it with the flute part you now hear but we didn’t have a player. I'm happy to tell you that the about 8 million dollars in flute lessons we invested in my daughter Andrea has paid off and she’s on this album.

I'm offering these items exclusively on GetDPI, at least for the first few days.
This M8 has been upgraded with the new shutter and new framelines. That's $1,200 (EDIT: $1,600) worth of upgrades, already done for you.
I've used this body for about 8 months. I'm the 2nd owner (the 1st owner is a well respected member of this forum). The body shows some signs of use (rub marks, slightly worn areas of paint), and there are some small scratches and mark on the LCD. Everything functions perfectly. The body was recently inspected, cleaned, and adjusted by Leica, and focus is spot-on with all my M lenses.
The camera comes with the box and all original contents. I'm also including two extra batteries, a silver "softie" (already installed on the shutter button), and a Leica key-chain as a token for the buyer. I'm also including the paperwork from when Leica did the upgrades.
Price: $3,500 plus shipping and any fees [SOLD]
Most on this forum know me, but if you need references, I can supply plenty.

LeAnn Rimes' husband files for divorce
LOS ANGELES -- Court records show LeAnn Rimes' husband Dean Sheremet has officially filed for divorce.
RELATED: Follow Wonderwall on Twitter
The couple announced a divorce was in the works in September, but no paperwork had been filed. Court records show Sheremet filed in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The couple were married in February 2002 and have no children together. The filing cites "irreconcilable differences" for the breakup, and Rimes has been linked with TV-movie co-star Eddie Cibrian for months.
Cibrian filed for divorce from his wife of eight years in August.
Sheremet is seeking spousal support and to have his attorney's fees paid by Rimes, who is a country singer and actress.
The couple have apparently already worked out how to divide their property.

Motorola has been churning out phone after phone. The company just announced two midrangers
and it appears that an entry-level handset called the Moto G20
is right around the corner.
The information comes from leaker Nils Ahrensmeier and is mostly in line with earlier reports.
The Moto G20 is rumored to come with a 6.5-inches IPS HD+ screen. It will be powered by the Unisoc T700 SoC. Unisoc is a Chinese fabless semiconductor company and in the past, the likes of Samsung and HTC have procured chips from it. This year's Moto E6i
also has a Unisoc chip.
The T700 is apparently based on the 12nm manufacturing process, which is ancient at this point in time. The Moto G20 has seemingly been seen on Geekbench
as well and its results are nothing to write home about.
That's not to say the Moto G20 has nothing going for it. Prior reports have said it will have a 90Hz screen and per the most recent rumor, the device will have a quad-camera array with a 48MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, a 2MP macro module, and a 2MP depth unit. It will reportedly have a 13MP front snapper which will be housed in a waterdrop notch.
The phone is rumored to pack a hefty 5,000mAh cell and the base variant will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone will likely run Android 11 out of the gate.
It will supposedly also have a dedicated Google Assistant key, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The phone will be IP52 certified against water and dust, which means it will only be able to withstand light sprays of water.
The Moto G20 is expected to cost around $130 and it will likely only be released in price-sensitive markets. Its value proposition looks strong for consumers looking for affordable handsets.
Color options include Sky Blue and Rosa Flamingo.

Halloween games played yesterday evening.

Scooter teens eye national spotlight
POSSESSING the look, the long hair, eccentric tees and high socks, Travis Eastment and Coopar Smith could be mistaken as your average teens.
However, there's nothing average about this pair.
Travis, 14, and Coopar, 15, are two of Queensland's top scooters competing in the Australian Scooter Association competition next month.
The Rockhampton pair will head to Brisbane this weekend in preparation for the first round of competition at RampAttak on February 1.
"There are five qualifying rounds held over the next month at Brisbane and the Gold Coast," Travis said.
"The top point-scorers from the state's competition will progress to the Australian titles held on May 30."
When they aren't at school, the dynamic duo will be at the local skate park practising aerial moves with the skill of professional riders twice their age.
"We do everything from back flips, to 360s, 420s and more," Travis said.
"We competed in the 'Active Out There' Grit scooter demo where we both impressed sponsors."
The youngsters are often found at the Rockhampton PCYC skate park flying through the air - perfecting the skills they learned watching YouTube videos.
"We are constantly improving and learning new tricks," Travis said.
"Our favourite riders are Ryan Williams, Dylan Morrison and Matty Ceravolo."
Best mates off the park, Travis and Coopar have had only one broken bone between them.
"We used to come down to the skate park as a bit of a muck around but the more we improved, the more competitive we got," Coopar said.
"Travis broke his ankle towards the end of last year but we've had more broken scooter parts than broken bones."
Coopar's mum, Sally Smith, knew her son had a special talent the moment he hopped on a scooter.
But it's not just family and friends who are impressed by the self-taught scooter whiz.
Crisp Scooters' Gary Beal, who sponsors Coopar, believes the youngster has the potential to make his professional team in the future.
Travis is another daredevil on Beal's watch list, receiving a sponsorship deal with his Grit Scooters team.
"The boys have been very fortunate with their sponsorship deals which save us hundreds of dollars in scooter gear, travel and accommodation fees," Sally said. "Rockhampton-based Wizac Ramps have also offered to build a few pieces for the boys to practice on."

Blu-ray Release Date: Nov. 13, 2012
Price: Four-disc Collector’s Gift Set Blu-ray: $95.99
Studio: Sony Picture Home Entertainment
We’ve got an update on Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s Lawrence of Arabia Blu-ray release on November 13, 2012, which represents the high-definition premiere of David Lean’s (Doctor Zhivago) 1962 adventure epic.
There’ve been a couple of changes concerning the release since Sony’s initial announcement in July, 2012. For starters, the Blu-ray will not be issued as a 3-disc edition, as we previously noted. According to a Sony announcement received on Aug. 6, 2012, Lawrence will be available in two configurations: As a two-disc set which includes an UltraViolet downloadable edition, and as a limited edition four-disc collector’s gift set.
Well, technically, the four-disc set contains three Blu-ray discs, but the complete collection is comprised of four discs, one of them being a CD of the classic film’s memorable soundtrack by Maurice Jarre.
Amazon lists the retail price of the four-disc collection as a healthy $95.99, but the Blu-ray is available through Amazon for a much friendlier $67.19.
Sony has also officially announced the Blu-ray editions’ supplemental packages. The most intriguing bonus feature, a never-before-released deleted scene with an introduction by editor Anne Coates, is apparently only being issued as part of the gift set.
The gift set will also include a 70mm film frame and an 88-page coffee table book.
We’ll keep up on any further developments and let you know. But for now, check out the bonuses:
§ Feature Film, including overture, intermission, entr’acte and exit music

DISC 4 (Gift Set Exclusive Disc):
§ Exclusive Lawrence of Arabia Soundtrack CD
David Lean’s (Doctor Zhivago) classic 1962 epic adventure film Lawrence of Arabia, fresh from a 4K digital restoration and an international premiere at Festival Du Cannes in May, 2012, makes its Blu-ray debut as a 3-disc collectible boxed set.
The U.S. premiere of the new restoration will take place in Los Angeles on July 19th, 2012 with 4K presentation—billed as a Director’s Cut that clocks in at 227 minutes—at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. Lawrence will then screen nationwide as a digital-only presentation in theaters starting October 4th. Additionally, the film will be featured for one night only on Turner Classic Movies on November 16th at 8:00PM
David Lean’s classic biography of the enigmatic desert-loving British soldier T. E. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole, The Stunt Man) who united Arab tribes in a battle against the Ottoman Turks during World War I was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and Best Director.
No word yet on the bonus features for the collection, but we’re sure it’ll be brimming with goodies along with an additional soundtrack CD.
Check back for updates on the bonuses, pricing and more information on the running times, about which we have a couple of questions, ourselves!

She filmed responses in her own living room to make the documentary:

Good news for tax payers and bad news for socialist.Education cost
have not gone up its always been the same, just a cut in subsidized tax fraud
using to fund the schools. It's about time and most appropriate that there
are finally some cuts coming to subsidized farm aid for farmers. It's time
students become accountable for the full cost of education and maybe some of
them will drop out becasue accountability is something they need to learn.Now to hit the K-12 and under excesses. All is not well in
the economy, in fact the economy is barely alive.

Book Review – Ekleipsis: The Abyss
Reviewed by Andrea Marks-Joseph
This evocative story collection explores horrific corruptions of day-to-day reality with unsavory characters and thrilling murderous plots.
Based in a contemporary setting, each story in Ékleipsis: The Abyss begins with a life at least vaguely familiar to us—an alcoholic pilot, a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, a performer unsatisfied with her career, a loving suburban husband—but then warps in its unique, enthralling, and vicious way.
The Ékleipsis stories range from vaguely fantastical (a murderous fanged man) to improbable (a kidnapping so convoluted that one can’t fathom why the character wouldn’t call the police), to the plausible and logical risk of a hostage endangering their own life by climbing back in the truck with a potential murderer to avoid the chance that he may harm other civilians at the gas station alongside her.
Author Tamel Wino’s writing style makes it so that even the most implausible stories will have readers’ hearts racing, flipping pages quickly to find out what happens, tapping fingers in anticipation.
We meet Ékleipsis’ various protagonists as they are interviewing for jobs, taking a hunting trip, arguing with their lovers, raising their children, waiting at a subway station on their way home. They begin their days hoping for a fresh start, a new adventure, or for their lives to maintain the natural glow of contentment. And though the endings vary (some more frustrating and incomplete than others), they all end up with blood spilled.
Wildly emotional and macabre, these stories take us on dramatic and dangerous journeys when a seemingly mundane daily life turns sour. The most significant evil in this collection is human nature, and the breeding ground for it is the mundanity of daily life. Ordinary people reveal their cunning, manipulative sides when placed in life-or-death situations to play high-stakes mind games with their ruthless counterparts.
In these gruesome tales, we see the characters at their most exposed, in their most broken moments, clawing with desperation: A story of prejudice, neglect, and violence against prisoners is told with disturbing glee; a jazz singer is chained up and forced to perform for a perverted fan; a seemingly random break-in reveals itself as alarmingly personal; a hitchhiker’s tale turns as dark and twisty as the roads they drive along.
Wino’s writing is vivid and unsettling and filled with brilliant hints that contribute to the exhilaration of its pacing. There’s an unforgettable scene where we learn this about a serial killer active in the area: “They call him the ‘Monsoon Killer’ because he only kills when it rains.” And we learn it on a beautiful Spring day, so we are left dreading a change in the weather.
Some of Ékleipsis’s perpetrators seek vengeance; some desire escape; all of them inflict a level of cruelty upon their victims. They are stalkers, serial killers, and savages, drenching their unsuspecting victims in terror. These stories are brutal, and heavy with emotion, bright and hot with panic and obsession. Fingernails are ripped off, hot blood trickles down faces, rotting breath and the scent of carcasses hangs heavy in the air.
Ékleipsis: The Abyss also confronts truths like the way the law does not protect the victims inside prisons, and how certain classes of people are likely to be overlooked if they go missing. Elements of romance and sex are used throughout to add complexity and heighten the sense of corruption between the characters. There’s a strong feeling of domestic suspense throughout the collection.
While memorable and rich in imagery, the first few stories are not the strongest of the collection, and are even potentially off-putting, but I can assure you that it is well worth it to keep reading. With each story, Wino presents a more horrific and impressively poisoned reality. The final story comes alive with the most shocking, adrenaline-filled, and unexpected twists of them all.
Ékleipsis: The Abyss may be too difficult a read for some: It features rape, suicide, disfigurement and scarring, kidnapping, misogyny, drug use, battles with addiction, and various cases of physical and emotional domestic abuse. It is violent, gory, bloody, and crude. But if that doesn’t put you off, Ékleipsis: The Abyss is a clever and creative horror offering worth checking out.

Just getting started with your Wedding Invitation? Allow me to share with you this Wedding Invitation Template in MS Word format.
Your invitation sets the tone for your wedding theme and whole about its expectations. In fact, your Wedding Invitation gives the first glimpse at your upcoming event of wedding your guests receive of this special day. This invitation also sets the perfect and true reflection of your love and commitment toward your affianced. So it needs your special attention, and don’t skimp out this important and foremost part of your wedding arrangements. Make your Wedding Invitation count!
As mentioned above, invitation of a wedding is the first peek at your wedding style. It needs to enlist the details of location, time, day, the invitation, and some clues about the style and formalities of the upcoming ceremony. Convey some hints about the type of event you are going to throw and the theme idea about the wedding more specifically, i.e. classic and elegant, glam and modern. This idea is to be given through the invitation before the potential guests start shopping for the ceremony so that they can come to the wedding as appropriate as possible.
No matter you are making your Wedding Invitation by yourself or hiring a professional designer to do this job, your choice really matters. Before you start shopping or selecting the stationary for the invites, decide your invitation style that can hit and convey the same note your wedding is going to be. Start browsing images for the Wedding Invitation that can be easily collected from the stationer’s websites or the graphic templates. It will give you inspiration so that you can choose your idea for your invite, i.e. images, objects, colors, shapes, sizes, wording etc.
Choose colors keeping in your mind that your colors should incorporate with the motif you have selected. For instance, ivory, cream, or white cards stock paired with a black or golden font on it is a very classic choice for formal Wedding Invitation. Just it should be readable choice about the colors. Invitation cards traditionally appear in a rectangular shape with regular size of 4.5 x 6.25 inch, but modern designs and trends are more appealing with customized shapes and sizes, i.e. circular, scalloped, and square shapes. Keep in mind when you select a design that veering away from a standard size, shape and weight can increase your postage.
Here is a good looking Wedding Invitation Template created using MS Word,
Write the message wisely and spell out everything including the time of ceremony; only Mr. and Mrs. are abbreviated generally. Name of host is listed first, and then comes the request to attend the ceremony; just like “Request the honor of your presence”. Choose the wording wisely in accordance with the style of your invite. Other necessary to mention components of Wedding Invitation include time and location of ceremony, couple’s name, the dress code (if any), and RSVP information for the guests. Don’t try to squeeze too much onto the invitation card, so that it is easy to read and looks elegant.
Your Wedding Invites should be prepared longer time before the wedding, i.e. a few months, few weeks, or even a couple of days, depending on how fancy you go for your invites and wedding ceremony. Tell your guests to respond to the invitation card earlier so that you can make final headcount at least 2 to 3 weeks before the ceremony. The more time given to your guest to respond, the more likely they are to forget; so keep the time not too long. The cost of Wedding Invitation may vary according to the design and stationary you choose for it.

The first phase of Tesla’s Gigafactory 3 in China may just be waiting for its final approvals to begin mass production of the Model 3, but other projects in the Shanghai-based site are still being built at a very rapid rate. This is notably prominent in the Phase 2 area, where a battery facility is currently being built.
Just weeks ago, Gigafactory 3’s Phase 2 zone was filled only with pillars and the first roof trusses for the upcoming facility. In a recent flyover, drone operator and Tesla enthusiast Jason Yang captured footage of the area, revealing that the entire battery facility’s roof trusses have been completely laid out. The first parts of the building’s roofing were already being built as well.
This bodes well for Tesla’s upcoming vehicle production operations in Gigafactory 3. Local speculations are currently suggesting that the factory shell of Gigafactory 3’s battery facility is on track to be completed by the end of the year, which is less than two months from now. This may sound implausible considering time constraints, but Tesla’s construction partner in China has proven to always be up to the task when it comes to meeting aggressive targets.
This was shown in the buildout of the Phase 1 area, which corresponded primarily to the vehicle general assembly building that houses the production equipment for the Model 3. Tesla CEO Elon Musk noted during Gigafactory 3’s groundbreaking ceremony that he believes the assembly building can start Model 3 trial production by the end of the year, and so far, this goal has been leapfrogged. Trial Model 3 production runs started in October, two months ahead of Musk’s already-aggressive goal.
Apart from the massive progress in the Phase 2 zone, also notable in Yang’s recent flyover was the presence of more than two dozen Made-in-China Model 3 around the grounds of Gigafactory 3. The entire Phase 1 section has also been finished, and the roads surrounding the massive general assembly building have been paved and painted as well. Overall, Gigafactory 3’s Phase 1 area looks practically picture-perfect at this point, and it invokes the idea that the facility is ready to crank out thousands of Model 3 per week once it hits its stride.
Tesla Gigafactory is currently waiting for the final approvals from the Chinese government for the production of the Model 3. Once these are secured, manufacturing operations in the Phase 1 zone could begin. Elon Musk has been quite tight-lipped about Gigafactory 3’s target Model 3 production rate once it begins its operations, though Global VP Grace Tao has noted in a statement that the electric car maker will be pushing for a rate of 3,000 Model 3 per week to start.
Watch Jason Yang’s recent Tesla Gigafactory 3 drone flyover in the video below.
