 Describe how Apple's pricing strategy for the iPhones might evolve following expected announcements this week.

Apple will reportedly reduce the price of the iPhone X's successor to as low as $800.
Since all three new iPhone models are expected to be based on the iPhone X's design and technical features, Apple has to shift the pricing structure.
The new strategy could help Apple increase iPhone unit sales, which have been flattening recently.
Apple made a big bet last year that it could convince you to spend $1,000 or more on a new iPhone. It sounded like a crazy move after people spent 10 years spending $650 or so on a new device, but Apple's gamble worked.
The iPhone X, which starts at $999 and goes all the way up to $1,149, has helped boost profits for the company, even as iPhone unit sales continue to flatten. Last quarter, the pricier iPhone X helped increase the iPhone's average selling price (ASP) to $724, which was well above expectations.
It turns out Apple doesn't necessarily need to sell more phones each year to keep its wild profits flowing. It just needs to create a version that's worth spending more on.
But things are going to change this year.
According to numerous reports, Apple will announce three new iPhones based on the iPhone X design on Wednesday. That means we've seen the last of new iPhone models with a home button and large, chunky borders around the screen, like last year's iPhone 8. Starting this week, all iPhones will look like the iPhone X for the foreseeable future.
It also means Apple will probably tweak its pricing scheme to reflect the fact that paying a premium for a futuristic phone no longer makes sense.
According to a June report obtained by MacRumors and written by Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities who is almost always accurate with his Apple gadget predictions, the successor to the iPhone X will start between $800 and $900 instead of $1,000. There will also be a larger version of the phone, the so-called iPhone Xs Max, that will start between $900 and $1,000. And the new entry-level model with a cheaper, 6.1-inch LCD screen, will cost between $600 and $700.
If Kuo's pricing predictions hold up, that gives Apple the opportunity to keep growing iPhone profits through the $1,000 jumbo-sized iPhone X model, while growing overall unit sales through the two cheaper models. A discounted new version of the iPhone X will seem like a steal at $900, compared to its current price. And the LCD model will look especially enticing at $700.
While the gamble last time was that customers would pay more for the X, this time Apple is betting that higher volumes and still-strong margins on the cheaper phones will make up for any decrease in average selling price. Apple's last gamble paid off, despite skepticism from analysts. This time, everybody will be watching the December earnings report closely to see if the company can pull off another record run.

 Respond in 440 words. What is the value of a woolong compared to ether?

Nobody owns the Ethereum network or protocol, meaning ether can be used by any party, and could become a universal currency like woolongs.
Despite the Ethereum network being distributed and publically accessible, and its unit of currency being digital, the number of ether that will be generated is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.
The Ethereum network has no central authority. Peers on the global network create the payment transfer processor that is Ethereum.
For most transactions, you can confirm transfer completion instantly. For larger transactions, waiting 2 minutes will provide a greater than 99.9999% assurance that you've received the funds.
With ether, like with woolongs, you never need to carry physical money. Every thing is digital.
With a connection to the internet, you can receive and transfer ether 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because the peer-to-peer network never sleeps. This makes them digital cash, like woolongs.
A note on money. The standard currency in Cowboy Bebop is the woolong. Its is roughly equal to one present-day Japanese yen. A sample prices: Appledelphis's bounty (fake) -- 50.000000 (i.e. 50) woolongs; 1 watermelon -- 1,000 woolongs; to ship a package from the Venus starport to the desert -- 5,000 woolongs; COD on a package shipment -- 6,300 woolongs; toll for gate passage -- roughly 7,000 woolongs; Whitney's bounty -- 19,800 woolongs; fine/bounty for littering -- 20,000 woolongs; COD for betadeck and tape -- 31,500 woolongs, typical bounty -- 1 million woolongs, Asimov Solensan's bounty -- 2.5 million woolongs; Faye's bounty -- 6 million woolongs; reward for the return of Ein, the stolen data dog -- 8 million woolongs; Chess Master Hex's bounty -- 12 million woolongs; Faye's debt -- 300,028,000 woolongs.
This makes a woolong equivalent to a little bit more than 1¢ USD. One ether, as of December 24th, 2016, is worth $7.35 USD, so given a woolong is worth 1-2 cents, a woolong has a value equivalent to approximately 0.001 - 0.002 ether.
Therefore, a woolong is a good approximation of 1 milliether (also known as a finney, 1 finney = 0.001 ether), and could be used interchangeably with the term, as a unit of ether.
The Cowboy Bebop episode 'Waltz for Venus' showcases an electronic wallet used to transfer woolongs stored on smart cards. The wallet has a number pad through which the amount of woolongs to be transferred is inputted.
It also has two card reader slots, allowing two woolong cards to be inserted in the wallet, and woolong transferred between them. It's not shown if the woolong wallet also allows authentication of transfers from woolong-holding smartcards, using the input pad to enter a password.

 Compare and contrast the accuracy of economic forecasts with the premise of the movie "Groundhog Day".

In 2000, I wrote in the Financial Times that “the record of failure to predict recessions is virtually unblemished.” In time for Groundhog Day, my colleague Zidong An, Joao Jalles and I have updated my analysis so that it now covers the years 1992 to 2014 and 63 countries. We find that there is little reason to change my assessment. Like Bill Murray, I am reliving the same moment.

 Have you heard any news about bitcoin taxation in Europe?

The Polish Tax Authority has announced that mined bitcoins earned through sales are subject to a 23% value-added tax (VAT). The claim was made by the director of the tax authorities in Łódź, central Poland, after a request was made by a local bitcoin miner.
Tax officials stated that as per the person’s request, the bitcoin miner hoped to get clearer interpretations on regulations towards how bitcoin will be taxed.
The Polish bitcoin miner was hoping to sell his digital coins to three separate places, one of them being outside of the European Union. One of those firms is located in Belize, another which is a UK registered website, and another site registered in Łódź.
The applicant did not expect any of the transactions to be subjected under VAT regulation, but felt the need to verify before making any transactions.
The authority claims the applicant’s request demands a specific price point for the sale of mined bitcoins, which can not be done. This requires VAT regulation to take effect, leading to the 23% implementation.
The French Ministry of Economy and Finance are now subjecting revenues of the digital currency to taxation.
The authority reveals detailed information as to who is subject to taxation and how. It is known that under French law, there is a certain point of acceptance for smaller revenues for those who aren’t heavily involved with bitcoin.
The French Banking Federation claims bitcoin is not illegal, but that they will get involved with bitcoin’s ruling if tax authorities can not understand the declaration. The bank may resort to asking its clients if bitcoin is their main means of using money.

 Describe the finale episode of "The 100" Season 5.

“Earth isn’t coming back.” Those are the words an aging Monty speaks at the end of “Damocles - Part Two.” The words have been a long time coming. The statement itself is brought about by McReary’s sabotage, his launching of missiles to make sure the Shallow Valley is destroyed if he can’t have it to himself, but it’s appropriate in the larger scheme of things. Ever since the original 100 landed on Earth, violence and struggle has been all these people have known. There have been tender, joyful, and loving moments in there too, but it’s largely been nothing but survival for Bellamy, Clarke, Octavia, and the others. So many have died along the way, and for what? For a semblance of what it means to truly live? Earth isn’t coming back, and perhaps that’s for the best.
“Damocles - Part Two” affirms something we already know about The 100, which is that this show is really good at executing its season finales. This is an exciting, emotional, game-changing episode of TV that not only closes out some of the more troubling storylines of this season, but also sets up a sixth season that could go anywhere. Clarke’s motivations are righted, Kane and Abby get a semi-happy ending, and even Octavia and Bellamy get some much-needed closure after a season that pitted them against one another. The question is, does the finale earn its moments, while also doing enough to right what’s been a season of ups and downs? The short answer: I’m not sure.
A short answer isn’t enough, of course, because these are complicated questions. On the one hand, “Damocles - Part Two” is one of the best episodes of the season, and the final 10 minutes shift the narrative in really exciting ways. On the other hand, I worry that The 100 is falling into a pattern of telling lackluster stories for an entire season, and then just blowing it all up in the finale. That’s a simple way to avoid any potential consequences in shoddy storytelling, and this season’s finale leaves me wondering if the show is still capable of telling an overarching, complex, emotionally insightful story like the one in season two.
That’s my line of thinking because so much of the early part of this episode is rather paint-by-numbers. Madi takes control of her army and, with a little help from Gaia and the former Commanders, comes up with a new plan to take on McReary and his army. That leads to a whole lot of shootouts and a tense standoff between Clarke and McReary. Eventually, the good guys get the upper hand and everything seems to be fine, other than the fact that during all of this McReary has launched missiles to destroy Shallow Valley. Madi, at the behest of Bellamy, spares the lives of McReary’s people, and everyone hops aboard the ship to flee the last livable place on Earth that’s about to be lit up with fire and fury.
The emotional moments here land, with Bellamy talking Madi out of killing McReary’s men with a speech drawing on the history of the original 100 and their time on Earth. Even Emori and Murphy get some time to make up, with Emori refusing to leave the man she loves behind. It’s an exciting, tense first 20 minutes, but it’s still a crescendo coming way too late. It’s a worthwhile payoff, but it doesn’t fix the season’s issues with pacing and jumbled storytelling.
And that’s why the final 10 minutes of the episode deserve to be questioned. Are they fascinating and exciting and filled with potential? Absolutely. But is that the only move this show has anymore? Is The 100 only capable of nuking every storyline at the end of the season in order to move forward in a meaningful way? I honestly don’t know what the answer is. I’ll tell you this: when Monty and Harper’s son was introduced, my mind was blown. When they revealed, through video from the past, that they’d kept the group in cryosleep for 125 years, my jaw dropped. When they revealed that they named their son after Jasper, I cried. Everything about those videos, about that final scene with Clarke, Bellamy, and Jordan, is emotionally affective and worthy of praise.
But was this not the case last season too? Season four represented a solid recovery after a third season defined by ill-conceived character motivations and storylines, which culminated in Praimfaya and the five-year time jump. Jumping ahead in time is a perfectly acceptable narrative trick, but it can become a crutch, a way of laying waste to the past and avoiding complicated questions stemming from present situations. In other words, “Damocles - Part Two” is maybe the best episode of the season, but it doesn’t come without its fair share of complications when it comes to what it means for the future of The 100.
Diyoza to Clarke: “It’s hard to keep track of whose side you’re on.” Amen.
It’s a little too easy to have Madi be the mouthpiece of wisdom to fix some broken relationships, but I’ll take it because it gives us some truly needed resolutions.
Both Abby and Emori refuse to leave the men they love behind. Bumpy roads for each couple, but their love endures.
I love the touch of Bellamy not giving Octavia a completely clean slate. They’ve both come too far for that.
Once again, thank you so, so much for reading these reviews each week and giving me a lot to think about with your own thoughts. It’s been a wild ride since the second season, but I’m having so much fun, and I’m ready to do it again next season. May we meet again.

 Describe the history of the Surrey constituency in the UK Parliament.

Surrey was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1832. It was represented by two Members of Parliament until 1832.
The constituency was split into two two-member divisions, for Parliamentary purposes, in 1832. The county was then represented by the East Surrey and West Surrey constituencies.

 What is a navy?

A navy or sea force is the branch of a nation's armed forces principally designated for naval and amphibious warfare; namely, lake-borne, riverine, littoral, or ocean-borne combat operations and related functions. It includes anything conducted by surface ships, amphibious ships, submarines, and seaborne aviation, as well as ancillary support, communications, training, and other fields. The strategic offensive role of a navy is projection of force into areas beyond a country's shores (for example, to protect sea-lanes, deter or confront pirates, ferry troops, or attack other navies, ports, or shore installations). The strategic defensive purpose of a navy is to frustrate seaborne projection-of-force by enemies. The strategic task of the navy also may incorporate nuclear deterrence by use of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Naval operations can be broadly divided between riverine and littoral applications (brown-water navy), open-ocean applications (blue-water navy), and something in between (green-water navy), although these distinctions are more about strategic scope than tactical or operational division.
In most nations, the term "naval", as opposed to "navy", is interpreted as encompassing all maritime military forces, e.g., navy, naval infantry/marine corps, and coast guard forces.

 Explain the main differences between AngularJS, Ember and Backbone, and explain what kind of applications are best suited to each. Respond in 32 sentences.

There’s no doubt about it, Angular lets you do some pretty amazing things without even needing that much knowledge. Whilst the basics of it are easy to pick up, it does have a steep learning curve once you’ve passed this initial hurdle. In addition to this some of the documentation is rather cumbersome and in some cases, incomplete. However, it does have a great community so if you are looking to get started Todd Motto has a great introduction on his blog. If you are looking for more of a deep dive then check out Thinkster.io.
What kind of applications can I build with it?
Being a Google project it’s hardly surprising to find the Angular framework in projects like Youtube for PS3. It has also been used by everyone from Mini to Nike, whilst an increasing number of news publishers like The Guardian are using it to make updating their homepage more manageable. If you are looking to build large, one page apps that scale, AngularJS is a good choice.
Like Angular, Ember has a rather steep learning curve. It also requires a higher level of investment to learn the basics than Angular and as it’s changing so rapidly, a lot of the documentation can be out of date. If you are looking to get started the the ever reliable Tuts+ has some great tutorials.
Some of the worlds best know and widely used applications, like Zendesk and Square, are built using Ember. It’s particularly useful if you are looking to create a large-scale, multi-page application. However, if you are only looking to create one-page app, using Ember may be a little overkill.
Whilst the basics of Backbone are relatively easy to pick up, it has less conventions than the other frameworks we are looking at, so requires the developer to make more decisions. However, as backbone has an incredibly active community, finding useful tutorials is not difficult. It you want to get started with Backbone then Github is full of useful guides.
The list of applications built using Backbone is endless and includes everything from Twitter to Soundcloud. Backbone’s ‘hands off’ approach requires you to write a lot of boilerplates, which can be repetitive and unproductive. If you’re looking to build a single-page application then backbone may be the right framework for you.
As with most things, the framework you choose often comes down to personal taste. If you are a novice developer Ember’s strong conventions make it incredibly easy to pick up and get started. If you are more experienced and, like us you’re obsessed with performance, Backbone may be your framework of choice. However, if you are looking to use a framework that is easy to maintain Angular maybe the way to go. Regardless of which framework you choose the important thing to remember is to pick the one which is right for your project (and CDNify it 😉 ).
Have you worked with either of these frameworks or are you trying to decide which one you should go with? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Best Article so far! I was confused in what framework should I learn, I know AngularJS and it is easy but it becomes complicated at some edges, I’ll definitely go for BackBoneJS from LYNDA, thanx for the blog, keep up the good work! #CDNify!
I am using backbone with marionettejs (backbone wrapper) that gives me more features and I have more built in functionality and also it’s easy to understand.

 Describe the steps to set up a behavior-driven development (BDD) flow in Rails 5 with the help of RSpec, Cucumber, Factory Bot, Shoulda-matchers, and database-cleaner.

This post is adapted from Rails Testing Handbook, a free ebook on building sustainable Rails apps with BDD.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of generating a new Rails 5 application, with all the necessary tools to set up a behavior-driven development (BDD) flow.
Database Cleaner for setting up a clean environment between test runs.
When you’re finished setting up the project on your machine, we will set it up on Semaphore, and establish a fully automated continuous integration workflow.
To follow our guide, you need to have the following installed on your Unix-based machine.
Now, we are ready to generate a new Rails application.
The -d postgresql specifies that our application will use PostgreSQL as our database management system instead of SQLite, which is set as a default for Rails.
By passing the --path parameter we are telling bundler to install gems in the bdd-app/vendor/bundle directory. If you leave off the parameter, gems will be installed globally, which isn’t a good practice if you are working on more than one Ruby application on the development machine.
First, we will set up RSpec for writing unit specs.
Run bundle install to install the gem on your local machine.
To finish the install, invoke the rails generator to set up the spec directory in your application.
When the command finishes, you should have a new spec directory in your project. This directory is the base for all of your unit specs.
Next, we will continue to set up Cucumber, the tool used for writing acceptance tests.
When the command finishes, you should have a new features directory in your project. This directory is the base for all of your acceptance tests.
The Shoulda-matchers gem speeds up our testing time by using wrappers around common Rails functionality, such as validations, associations, and redirects.
Factory Bot is a gem used for making “fake” objects as test data. It is essentially a fixtures replacement with a clear definition syntax. It allows you to create fake objects in tests without providing a value for each attribute of the given object. If you don’t provide any values to the attributes of the object, factory_bot uses the default values that are previously defined in factory’s definition.
After the installation, you can place factories for your database models in the spec/factories directory.
We want to make sure that the state of the application is consistent every time we run our tests. The best way to do this is to clean all the data in the database between each test run, and construct a new clean state for each test.
The database-cleaner gem is a set of strategies for cleaning our database between test runs.
We don’t have to make any modifications to Cucumber. The cucumber-rails generator already created all the necessary hooks to integrate itself with the database-cleaner gem.
The rails-controller-testing gem expands the capabilities of our controller specs. It allows us to test variable and template assignments.
RSpec automatically integrates with this gem. Adding the gem to your Gemfile is sufficient for the helpers to work in your controller specs.
We will use GitHub to set up your repository for this project.
First, let’s make sure that our repository is ready to be published and that we won’t push any unnecessary file or directory to GitHub.
Add the vendor/bundle directory to your .gitignore file to prevent pushing gems to Github.
Then, let’s create our first commit.
git commit -m "Bootstrapping Rails BDD application"
Visit https://github.com/new and create a new repository for your project. GitHub will give show you the instructions how to connect your local repository with the remote one.
Finally, add the new remote and push your code to GitHub.
As the final step in this tutorial, we will ensure that our project is started with a clean, greens build. This will be our first safe point of return for our application, and will act as the solid foundation for further development.
The first step is to create a free Semaphore account.
Follow the setup guide. Semaphore will recognize that you have a Rails project with Postgresql, and will generate all the commands for a successful first build.
Let’s tweak the command list, and add our RSpec and Cucumber test suites.
Hit “Build With These Settings” to start the first build for your project.
Congratulations! You’ve set up a great foundation for behavior-driven development with Rails 5, RSpec and Cucumber. You are now fully equipped to work in the BDD cycle and deliver clean, working code.

 Describe your book and the process of creating it.

It was a little over a month ago that I announced my first book, and it’s time for an update as the final pages are completed.
The title of the book is Beneath A Surface and you can pre-order it here on Thurrott, or Amazon, or sign-up to be notified when it will be available on LeanPub. There will be a print edition, only available to pre-order today on Thurrott, or a version can be purchased on Amazon once the book is complete (Bezos does not currently let you pre-order physical copies of the book) and of course a digital version as well.
When announced, I was hoping that the book would be around 120 pages, as it stands right now, it’s about 160; this should be fairly close to the final length. It may flux up or down a few pages as it’s being edited and a few last details are added but should not change substantially. The book covers everything from the Surface table all the way up to products coming in 2020.
I am still on track to release the book in late November, Paul has started editing the book and this phase should take about a week or so. Following being edited, I need to finalize the layout and get it to the various outlets for distribution which takes a week.
For anyone who is curious about how the sausage is made, this book gives the best optics yet into the development of the brand. The goal of the book is to document the building of the Surface brand and I was able to do so with significant insider knowledge and with the help of about two dozen interviews; if you like Surface, you will love this book.

 Name some female and working-class writers in contemporary Irish literature.

Where were the female and working-class writers in last week’s list of must-reads?
Eimear McBride: author of the ‘blistering’ A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing.
Last week’s book clinic offered advice to a woman intent on moving to Ireland because of Brexit and looking for books “to help me understand the soul of the Irish people”. Writer and critic JP O’Malley’s recommendations sparked an online controversy and provoked the Irish Times to run a piece damning his omission of women, working-class writers, contemporary literature and popular fiction. Among the dissenters was writer and broadcaster Sinéad Gleeson, who here offers an alternative literary prescription.
Ireland has changed more in the last 15 years than the previous 100 combined. Post-marriage equality, post-abortion vote, its literature has evolved too. Fiction writers have captured a new Irish literary soul, beyond what Maeve Brennan called “the bog and thunder variety of stuff foisted abroad in the name of Ireland”.
Read Eimear McBride’s blistering A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing, Lisa McInerney’s The Glorious Heresies for talky urban grit, Kevin Barry’s comic parallels of new Ireland, Louise O’Neill’s Asking for It, Colin Barrett’s Young Skins for small-town claustrophobia; the queerness of Sally Rooney’s Conversations With Friends, This Hostel Life by Melatu Uche Okorie to understand Ireland’s complicated relationship with multiculturalism, fatherhood and mortality in Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones, the complexity of politics, geography and Northern Ireland in Lucy Caldwell, Evelyn Conlon, Eoin McNamee, and Garrett Carr’s border walk in The Rule of the Land.
Liz Nugent’s crime novels dissect the middle-class psyche, while Marian Keyes has chronicled Irish life for more than20 years with wit and humour. Poets such as Colm Keegan, Doireann Ní Ghríofa,Feeney, Stephen Sexton, Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Elaine Feeney are essential, as are anthologies: try the Stinging Fly’s 20th anniversary collection. One of the best books on Ireland’s newfound modernity is The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright (read all her novels).
The Irish soul, if it exists, is cumulative and not rooted solely in the contemporary. Go back to the novels of Edna O’Brien and John McGahern’s novels, and Maeve Brennan and William Trevor’s short stories.

 Explain how Venezuela raised its minimum wage.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela raised its minimum wage to 1 million bolivars per month on Monday, the third increase this year that puts the figure at just $1.61 at the black market exchange rate.
President Nicolas Maduro’s announcement of the 155 percent rise - or 13 percent fall, in dollar terms - came three weeks before a presidential election. It accompanies a monthly food ticket now worth just over 1.5 million bolivars.
The once-rich OPEC country is in the midst of an economic crisis in which millions earn just a couple of dollars per month, suffer food and medicine shortages and battle soaring inflation.
Maduro blames an “economic war” waged against his government by Washington and the country’s opposition.

 What is "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?"

Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (sometimes referred to as Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? v3.0) is a 1996 video game part of the "Carmen Sandiego" franchise. It was the third version of the game, after the 1985 title of the same name and a 1992 Deluxe version of said game. The game was released on the heels of the end of the PBS game show in 1996, and features hundreds of QuickTime videos of Lynne Thigpen reprising her role as "The Chief". This was the last version of the game to follow the "classic" formula of the series (until the Facebook version), but much of the game, especially the "warrant" portion, was heavily redesigned. The Deluxe Edition released in 1998 (also sometimes subtitled as "version 3.5") added speech welcoming the player to each country and an "ACME Global Language Link-Up" satellite which quizzed the user on the local language. Players also received a spy watch and "an introduction to 12 foreign languages".

 Describe the potential benefits and challenges of US offshore wind development. Respond in 35 sentences.

Can the DOE Kick-Start Offshore Wind in the US?
The U.S. has 33 offshore wind projects in varying stages of development.
While there are nearly four gigawatts of installed offshore wind capacity in Europe and China, the U.S. has no operational projects in the water, and its nine advanced-stage plans, representing 3,380 megawatts of potential capacity, face challenges, according to a new study on the industry by Navigant Consulting that was conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
To further drive U.S. offshore wind past those challenges and into commercial operation by 2017, the DOE awarded $28 million per year in Advanced Technology Demonstration funding for the next six years to seven projects that proved themselves with backing from DOE in 2011.
1. Baryonyx Corporation (Austin, Texas) will build three 6-megawatt direct-drive wind turbines in Texas’ Gulf of Mexico waters near Port Isabel to demonstrate an advanced jacket foundation design and integrate lessons learned from the oil and gas sector on hurricane-resistant design, building and safety.
2. Fishermen's Energy (Atlantic City) will build six direct-drive turbines three miles off the Atlantic City coast in New Jersey waters to demonstrate an advanced bottom-mounted foundation design and innovative installation procedures to mitigate potential environmental impacts. The company expects to be in commercial operation by 2015.
3. Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (Cleveland, Ohio) will build nine 3-megawatt direct-drive wind turbines in Lake Erie, seven miles off Cleveland’s coast, to demonstrate "ice breaker" monopile foundations designed to reduce ice loading.
4. Principle Power (Seattle, Washington) will build five 6-megawatt direct-drive offshore wind turbines on semi-submersible floating foundations in deep water ten miles to fifteen miles off Coos Bay, Oregon to demonstrate how the semi-submersible foundations and turbines can be assembled in the water near the project site to reduce installation costs.
5. Statoil North America (NYSE:STO) (Stamford, Connecticut) will build four 3-megawatt wind turbines on floating spar buoy structures in the Gulf of Maine’s 460-foot deep waters off Boothbay Harbor to demonstrate the spar buoys and turbines can be assembled in harbor and towed to the project site to reduce installation costs.
6. The University of Maine (Orono, Maine) will build two 6-megawatt direct-drive turbines on floating concrete semi-submersible foundations near Monhegan Island to demonstrate potential cost-effective improvements in commercial-scale production of traditional steel foundations.
7. Dominion Virginia Power (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia) will design, develop, and build two 6-megawatt direct-drive turbines off the coast of Virginia Beach to demonstrate innovative "twisted jacket" foundations that offer the strength of traditional jacket or space-frame structures but use substantially less steel.
-The average nameplate offshore wind turbine has grown to 3.94 megawatts, likely has a monopile substructure and will soon be likely to have direct-drive generator technology.
- Offshore wind is riskier, costlier, and harder to finance than land-based wind.
- As offshore turbines grow bigger and more different from land-based turbines in all their systems, their costs will come down.
- U.S. offshore wind will need a fleet of dedicated vessels capable of installing and servicing the ever-bigger turbines in ever-deeper waters and upgraded ports that can handle the vessels and the turbines.
- Like renewables onshore, offshore wind will require new transmission.
- With better siting, new technologies and methods, and the right enhanced infrastructure, production will increase and costs will fall.
- U.S. offshore wind’s three biggest challenges: high costs, inadequate infrastructure, uncertain policy and regulation.
- Short-term policies should drive demand, including mandated long-term PPAs, RPSs with offshore wind carve-outs, directed ITCs/PTCs, directed low-interest loans and loan guarantees, accelerated depreciation, and feed-in tariffs.
- Longer-term policies should be aimed at growing infrastructure and transmission.
- Improved regulation would streamline siting and permitting.
- Estimated capital cost of $3,040 million ($6,080/kW).
- Estimated operations and maintenance (O&M) cost of $68 million/year ($136/kW-year).
- Estimated 3,000 job-years and $584 million in local spending over the construction period.
- Estimated 313 local jobs and $21 million in local spending per year of operation.
By 2030, the Navigant study concluded, the U.S. offshore wind industry could support ~50,000 to ~350,000 FTEs and drive ~$10 billion to ~$70 billion (in 2011 dollars). Whether it will be the high number or the low number depends on the evolution of other sectors in the economy, especially the price of natural gas and the change in coal-based generation capacity.

 What are some of the best places to visit for an anniversary trip in the US? Respond in 51 sentences.

For all the happily partnered folks out there, each new year calls for an opportunity to celebrate your anniversary. And, while some years can skirt by with a card, some flowers, and a box of chocolates, why not make this year the one to spice things up? Below, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best places in the U.S for an anniversary trip. Think Rocky Mountain getaways, Southern-style antebellum romance, and the good old faithful white-sand beach resort. Whether you’re coming up on the five-year or the 50-year mark, here are 6 places in the U.S for the best anniversary trips.
There are few places in the United States that truly live up to their romantic reputation. With majestic, lush vineyards, perfect weather, world-class wine, and resorts that redefine the couples experience, Napa Valley sets the bar pretty high. Whether you and your significant other are burgeoning sommeliers or avid loyalists to the two-buck-chuck, a visit to Napa will definitely be worth your while. Explore the area on a scenic bike ride, relax in a five-star spa, go horseback riding, and see how descriptive your adjectives can get on a wine-tasting tour.
Where to Stay: Calistoga Ranch is the ultimate romantic retreat for couples who enjoy sharing a bottle of wine together. The whole establishment has a very rustic feel with wooden lodges and amenities including heated pools, a eucalyptus steam room, lavish oversized bathtubs, and complimentary bottles of rosé.
Where to Dine: The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil offers panoramic views of the countryside and a Michelin-starred kitchen with a delicious brunch menu.
Couples who love an active day on the slopes, breathtaking mountain views, and cuddling up by the fire with a hot toddy should definitely consider Aspen for their anniversary getaway. When it comes to mountains, nowhere really comes close to Colorado, and Aspen is the best of the bunch.
Where to Stay: The Residences at Little Nell are luxurious little private guest houses at the base of Aspen mountain with ski-in/ski-out access. Bask in your private balcony, make use of the rooftop pool, and enjoy the fully-equipped kitchen, living room, and dining room.
Where to Dine: Ajax Tavern, located at the base of the Silver Queen Gondola, is a great indoor/outdoor spot for burgers, delicious drinks, and excellent views.
Nowhere screams Southern-style romance like Georgia’s coastal city of Savannah. Think horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, Spanish moss, and old antebellum architecture. If an anniversary trip is a celebration of the past, what better way than to visit one of the most historic spots in the country? Walk along the riverfront for plenty of activities by way of shopping, art galleries, nightlife, dining, and head to one of the nearby islands for a secluded respite from mainland hustle.
Where to Stay: The Ballastone Inn was recently rated as the most romantic accommodation in Savannah. The 19th-century building is located in the heart of the city’s historic district and donned with old school paintings and tons of Victorian decor.
Where to Dine: Elizabeth on 37th is an old 19th-century mansion that has been renovated into a chic new dining space. Surrounding the tables are other-wordly antiques, marble fireplaces, and historic paintings. Chow down on southern classics like double cut pork chops with five cheese macaroni and apple-slaw cabbage.
Speaking of the South, New Orleans takes the cake as the best anniversary vacation for culture junkies. Stroll through the historic French Quarter, listen to live jazz and funk music, dive into the mouth-watering cuisines, or take a cruise on the Mississippi River. Even the little things about this town — the dim lighting, the tasteful interior decorating, the lush foliage — make New Orleans easily one of the most romantic destinations in the country.
Where to Stay: Hotel Monteleone is a family-owned hotel in the heart of the town with a classy feel. The Monteleone is chic and sophisticated enough for young lovers, but also has the antique vibes that seasoned vets will certainly appreciate.
Where to Dine: Upperline Restaurant is a funky bistro with good drinks and a delicious Cajun menu. If you’re looking for authentic New Orleans that pulls a really diverse crowd, head over to Upperline.
Alas, the most exotic and tropical destination in the United States certainly deserves a spot on this list for best anniversary trips. While most commonly thought of as a honeymoon retreat, Kauai is a good option for any kind of romantic getaway. Secluded beaches, lush jungles, rugged cliffs, and volcanoes, Hawaii boasts some of the most beautiful ecosystems in the world. And, the resorts here have perfected the romantic experience down to a science, so feel free to bask in all the plush amenities on deck.
Where to Stay: The Grand Hyatt Kauai is the biggest and most well-known beach resort on the island for a reason. Swim in the adults-only, clothing-optional pool, get massages in the thatched-roof cabanas, and wander through secret gardens and koi ponds.
Where to Dine: Oasis wins as the most romantic place to eat on the island. The ambiance is cool and relaxed with stunning views, and the menu is almost completely comprised of locally-sourced products. Meats and seafood are specialties but don’t skimp on desserts.
This one goes out to all the nature-lovers. Who says a national park can’t be the set of your romantic vacation? As long as your partner is keen on getting a little dirty, head to Mount Rainier in Washington state. There’s nothing quite like the climate of the Pacific Northwest. In the winter, visit to see the volcano blanketed in soft white snow and cozy up in a rustic cabin, or visit during the warmer months for green fields, wildflowers, and Alpine lakes and waterfalls at every corner.
Where to Stay: Camping! Some of the best campsites in the area include White River Campground, Mowich Lake Campground, Ohanapecosh Campground, and Cougar Rock Campground.
Where to Dine: Think beyond mac n’ cheese. Check out the best lightweight backpacking food to whip up an exquisitely romantic meal on the go — even if you’re deep in the backcountry.

 Explain why programs to counter violent extremism have been criticized for not incorporating domestic violence as an indicator of potential mass violence.

Orlando Shooter's Domestic Abuse History a Warning Sign?
June 13 2016, 7:46 p.m.
Since the shooting, former coworkers of Mateen have come forward to speak out about his “unhinged and unstable” behavior. But his violent behavior toward his then-wife was perhaps a leading indicator of the future course he might take. A 2015 study by Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization that studies mass shootings in America, found that more than a quarter of all mass shootings between January 2009 and July 2015 were perpetrated by individuals with prior domestic violence charges. And many of those killings have also been targeted at families themselves.
FBI Director James Comey said today that previous investigations into Mateen found that he had made conflicting claims of being connected to the Islamic State, al Qaeda, and even the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. He also claimed to have been acquainted with the Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev — which FBI officials later determined to be false. During his rampage at the Pulse nightclub, Mateen called 911 operators and pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Comey said.
Amarnath Amarasingam, a radicalization researcher with George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, says that domestic violence does not factor into models for charting individuals’ involvement with terrorist groups.
In recent years, the U.S. government has earmarked tens of millions of dollars for programs to counter violent extremism, intended to identify and stop individuals before they go on to commit violent acts. These programs have been criticized for focusing primarily on ideology and beliefs, and have tended not to incorporate more prosaic indicators of future mass violence, such as behavior toward intimate partners and family members. Kaukab says that the blind spot toward domestic violence misses an opportunity to more accurately identify people who have the potential to commit greater violence in the future.

 What other new comic books are releasing in September?

September 2011 is seeing an unprecedented number of first issues shipping to comic book shops around the world and available digitally. DC Comics’ “New 52” is leading the way with a line-wide relaunch featuring a dozen or more new titles each week, but these aren’t the only new series starting this month and here we take a look at some of September’s “other” #1s.
We continue our look at September’s “other” number one issues (i.e. books that aren’t part of DC Comics’ “New 52”) with the debut of Dark Horse Comics’ Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine. The series continues the highly successful transition of Joss Whedon’s television series to comics and it’s arguably everything you’d want and expect.

 Summarize Colin Kaepernick's honor from Amnesty International and reactions to it.

Since being named GQ's Citizen of the Year, Colin Kaepernick has received Sports Illustrated's Muhammed Ali Legacy Award and the Eason More Courageous Advocate Award from the ACLU. Now, Amnesty International has awarded Kaepernick with highest distinction the organization has, the Ambassador of Conscience Award.
In the announcement naming Kaepernick this year's winner, Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International, wrote, "Just like the Ambassadors of Conscience before him, Colin Kaepernick chooses to speak out and inspire others despite the professional and personal risks. When high profile people choose to take a stand for human rights, it emboldens many others in their struggles against injustice. Colin Kaepernick’s commitment is all the more remarkable because of the alarming levels of vitriol it has attracted from those in power."
Just as Shetty wrote, this weekend the Fox & Friends B-team weighed in on Kaepernick's award and speech, condemning him for going overseas to insult the U.S. to a bunch of "globalists who don't love America anyway" (presumably referring to Amnesty International) and suggesting that if Kaepernick is troubled by the indiscriminate and routinely unpunished murder of black people by police, then he should move to another country. It's safe to expect equally thoughtful commentary from the show's regular couch-warmers this week.
Meanwhile, Kaepernick has completed his promised $1 million in donations despite being blackballed by the NFL.

 Could you tell me a bit about Eric Cornel's hockey career?

2010-11: Eric Cornel played in four minor midget AAA games for the Upper Canada Cyclones and had 61 points in 30 games for the club’s bantam AAA team. He scored 1 goal with 3 assists in four midget games.
2011-12: Cornel appeared in four junior A games with the Kemptville 73’s in Ontario and was a team captain for the Upper Canada Cyclones’ midget minor AAA team as a 15-year-old. He scored 1 goal with 3 assists in CCHL play with Kemptville. Cornel scored 18 goals with 32 assists and had 14 penalty minutes in 25 regular season games for the Cyclones and had 5 assists with 4 penalty minutes in five playoff games. Cornel was an assistant captain for Canada’s U16 team at the 2012 Youth Olympic Games; scoring 4 goals with 5 assists and finishing +11 in six games. He was the third player selected when he was taken by Peterborough in the first round of the 2012 OHL Priority Selection.
2012-13: Cornel appeared in 63 of 68 games for Peterborough in his first OHL season and played for Canada Ontario in the 2013 U17 World Hockey Challenge. He scored 4 goals with 12 assists and was -2 with 13 penalty minutes playing for the Petes — who missed the playoffs after finishing with the league’s third-worst record. Cornel had 3 assists in five games for Canada Ontario at the WHC.
2013-14: Cornel moved into a prominent scoring role for the much-improved Petes in his second OHL season. He scored 25 goals with 37 assists and was +2 with 25 penalty minutes in 68 regular season games. Peterborough finished third in the East Division and reached the second round in the playoffs. Cornel was selected to play for Team Orr in the 2014 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. He was ranked 25th amongst North American skaters in the Central Scouting final rankings and was selected by Buffalo in the second round (44th overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft.
2014-15: Cornel made his professional hockey debut with Sabres’ AHL affiliate Rochester following his junior season with Peterborough. In six games with the Americans he had 1 assist and was -2 with no penalties. Cornel was the third-leading scorer for Peterborough in what was a frustrating regular season for the Petes. He scored 14 goals with a team-high 38 assists and was -24 with 35 penalty minutes in 66 regular season games. Peterborough claimed the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot despite finishing last in the East Division, falling to Memorial Cup champion Oshawa in a first-round series. Cornel had 1 assist and was -2 with 2 penalty minutes in five playoff games.
Cornel is a big, talented forward who is still figuring out whether he will be a playmaking forward with size or a power forward with scoring ability, He has been inconsistent at times — putting up points in bunches but then going several games at a time without registering a point. He competes hard on a nightly basis but is still a work in progress when it comes to handling his defensive responsibilities and playing a two-way game.
Cornel has enjoyed a breakout season in his fourth season with the Peterborough Petes. Second in scoring to overage forward Hunter Garlent in 2015-16, Cornel is one of the team leaders for a Petes' team that is battling with the Ottawa 67's for second-place in the East Division. Yet to sign an entry-level contract with Buffalo, he would re-enter the 2016 NHL Draft if not signed before then. Cornel's scoring and consistent two-way play suggest he can be an effective second or third line center in the NHL in the future.

 What's happening with the Sydney and Melbourne property markets?

Melbourne has recorded its lowest auction clearance rate in six years, while Sydney’s property market also saw declines in houses selling under the hammer.
Across the country 900 properties went to auction, down from 2,281 the previous week, News Corp reports. The preliminary clearance rate was 55.3 percent.
There were just 276 auctions held in Melbourne last week with a preliminary clearance rate of 56.1 percent, the lowest since 2012.
Adelaide was the strongest performer with 65.6 percent of 29 auctions clearing, following by Canberra with 65.4 percent of 26 auctions.
Sydney returned a preliminary auction clearance rate of 57.6 percent with 414 homes going to auction.
According to News Corp, Sydney has not recorded consecutive clearance rates in the low to mid-50s outside of December and January long weekends since the late 2010-12 downturn.
Sydney’s nose-dive in clearance rates is being pinned on longer approval periods for home finance as the lending industry tightens up standards in response to the royal commission.
In Sydney, the property market has been propped by apartment sales and the gap between houses and apartments is continuing to grow.
According to Domain, just 50.8 percent of all houses that went to auction across Sydney last month sold, while apartments had a slightly higher 58.2 percent auction clearance rate.
Domain Group data suggests the gap between apartments and houses is widening with both property types hit by cooling market conditions.
Domain Group data scientist Nicola Powell said the gap is “driven by affordability constraints”.
“We know apartments are becoming increasingly popular for all sectors of the market … as they offer a lower entry price point, better connectivity, and allow people to purchase closer to the CBD,” she said.

 Explain Raven-Symone's comments and the resulting controversy.

Actress Raven-Symone attends the Outfest 2015 Fusion Gala screening and Q&A of "Empire" at American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre on March 13, 2015 in Hollywood, Calif.
Actress Raven-Symoné generated a fresh round of controversy on Monday when she defended former Univision anchor Rodner Figueroa for a racially charged joke he made at first lady Michelle Obama’s expense.
While appearing as a guest host on the syndicated talk show “The View,” Symoné – who is African-American – said the controversy over Figueroa’s remarks were much ado about nothing.
“I don’t think he was saying it racist,” Symoné told her fellow panelists. “Not Michelle Obama. Michelle, don’t fire me from this right now, but some people do look like animals,” she added.
“Is that rude? I look like a bird… so can I be mad at somebody that calls me Toucan Sam?” Symoné joked.
Meanwhile. Figueroa has issued an official apology to the first lady. “I want to clarify that I’m not racist and in no way was my comment directed at you, but rather the work of the [make up] artist, which left much to be desired,” Figueroa wrote last week.
Still, despite his seemingly heartfelt mea culpa, Figueroa reserved some fire for his former network, Univision.
“I feel embarrassed, I ask for forgiveness, because there is no excuse for a professional like me to make those types of comments that can be interpreted as offensive and racist in a volatile moment that we live in our country. I take full responsibility for the lack of judgement in my part, but I can’t accept that I am being called a racist, being fired for that reason and being humiliated by Univision after working there for 17 years,” he added.
Abby Huntsman, Chris Witherspoon, and Carmen St. George join Rev. Al Sharpton to talk about actress Raven-Symone’s response to the social media outcry over her comments on being African-American in an interview with Oprah.

 Provide information about the impact of soybean production in the cerrado of Brazil.

Brazil’s cerrado has long been labeled the world’s most biologically rich savannah. Nestled between the Amazon and the coastal Atlantic Forest, the region is home to almost 1,000 species of birds and nearly 300 mammals, including the endangered jaguar, maned wolf, and cerrado fox. But over the past few decades, the tropical grassland savannah has been plowed under to make room for a lucrative, protein-packed cash crop: soybeans.
The top export of Brazil, soybeans represent 90 percent of all agriculture in the cerrado, which covers around one-fifth of the country (larger than California and Alaska combined). The majority of the production comes from the Matopiba region, an acronym for the confluence of the four Brazilian states of Maranhao, Tocantins, Piaui, and Bahia. This image of Matopiba was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite on September 1, 2018. Planted along the border of western Bahia, soybeans (which derive 35 to 38 percent of their calories from proteins) allow farmers to pack in more protein per hectare than any other large-scale crop.
From 2010 to 2015, soy exports from Matopiba doubled from 3.5 to 7.1 million tons. Reports predict that the country will become the largest producer of soybeans in the world by 2025, surpassing the United States.
But the soybean farm expansion is threatening the biological diversity of the cerrado. From 2000 to 2014, agricultural land use in the cerrado increased by 87 percent, with the majority of plots wiping out native vegetation. In April 2017, Brazil’s top two scientific associations wrote to the government asking for public policies on sustainable use of this land. Reports state that only 8 percent of the cerrado is currently off-limits to development or agriculture. Organizations are working to create sustainable practices of food production with environmental protection.

In Brazil, vast wild areas have been converted into farms, producing a major protein-packed cash crop but also endangering wildlife.
