The Top Ten Female Vaganova Graduates of the Past Ten Years: Then and Now (Part II)

2020 - Anastasia Smirnova (First Soloist at Stanislavksy):

Another total no-brainer, she was the clear star of her graduating year, even though there were so many other strong graduates that year and there was no graduation performance due to COVID. At only fourteen she won the Diana Vishneva Prize at the Vaganova Prix and danced several roles with Mikhailovsky while still a student. After graduating, she joined the Mikhailovksy as a soloist, left to dance in the corps de ballet for six months at the Mariinsky, before returning and shortly afterwards was promoted to First Soloist. At the start of this season she left the Mikhailovsky again to join the Stanislavsky as a First Soloist. She also won 2nd prize at IBC Moscow in 2022.

Role I'd love to see her début: Esmeralda

Special Mentions: Lizi Avzanishvili, Valeria Bespalova, Anastasia Plotnikova

2020 (Masha Variation):

2023 (Grand Pas Classique Adagio):

2021 - Maria Chernyvskaya (Mariinsky Coryphée):

The 2021 graduating class was a more low-key class than in the preceding few years, but it still had quite a few strong graduates. Chernyvskaya finished at the top of her class and performed the lead role of Swanhilda in Act 3 of Coppélia at her graduation. She was promoted to coryphée after only a year and a half as the Mariinsky. Her biggest roles at the Mariinsky currently include Carmen, Rubies Soloist, Etruscans in Spartacus, and Queen of the Snowflakes. Chernyvskaya possesses sharp and fiery qualities that are rarer in the Mariinsky ranks, similar to dancers like Bulanova and Tkachenko.

Role I'd love to see her début: Myrtha

Special Mentions: Viktoria Mokrousova, Elena Lyskova

2019 (Napoli Pas de Six at 2019 graduation)

2023 (Guadalquivir in La Fille du Pharaon):

2022 - Maria Shevela (Mariinsky Corps de Ballet):

The 2022 class was largely overshadowed by the 2023 class in their graduation performances and Shevela was one of the few students of her class to be given a soloist role, where she performed Part 3 of Classical Symphony. She also danced numerous solo roles in smaller concerts and joined the Mariinsky after her graduation. She predominantly dances in the corps de ballet, but she also often performs in coryphée and smaller soloist roles. I personally really have a soft spot for Shevela, I think she's a lovely dancer and shows great technical ability. I particularly enjoy when she dances in trios with Ustyuzhanina and Lyskova as seen in the clip below.

Role I'd love to see her début: 11th Waltz in Chopiniana

Special Mentions: Anastasia Zinchenko

2021 (Variation in Spring Concert during 7th year):

2023 (Shyrin's Friends début in Legend of Love with Lyskova and Ustyuzhanina):

2023 - Maria Koshkareva (Bolshoi Soloist):

The 2023 graduating class reminded me a lot of the 2018 and 2015 graduating classes, with so much talent that many dancers who would have been clear stars of their class in other years were one of many in 2023. Koshkareva's had the most hype even among such a strong class since her performance in Conservatory in the 2021 graduation, and afterwards performed leading roles in the Nutcracker, Gioconda, Classical Symphony, and The Garden Scene of Le Corsaire during her last two years at Vaganova. She also won first prize in the junior category of IBC Moscow and was, along with Kuprina and Zinchenko, given a trainee position at the Mariinsky during her final year of schooling. After graduation, she joined the Bolshoi directly as a soloist. In my opinion, she had a slightly rocky first season due to how much was piled on her straight away by management, but now has really gained her footing with strong Kitri and Angela débuts this season. She also has greatly improved her Gamzatti and had a beautiful Masha debut last year. In all, I wouldn't be surprised if she received a promotion to First Soloist soon.

Role I'd love to see her début: Aurora

Special Mentions: Yaroslavna Kuprina, Sofia Valiullina, Daria Kulikova, Angelina Karamysheva

2023 (Medora variation at graduation):

2024 (Variation from Markitenka):

2024 - Alisa Barinova (Mariinsky Corps de Ballet):

Alisa Barinova performed as a beautiful Gulnare in Vaganova's 2023 graduation where she was one of the few younger dancers who was featured alongside such a dominant graduating class. She then had a strong final year at Vaganova, which she ended by performing as Aurora in Act 3 of the Sleeping Beauty in the 2024 show. I found that she showed great technical strength in a very challenging role. She has only been at the Mariinsky for a few months ago but she has already debuted several important soloist roles there, such as Prince's Friends in Swan Lake and Flower-sellers in Don Quixote.

Role I'd love to see her début: Almehs in La Fille du Pharaon

Special Mentions: Elisabetta Nalin

2024 (Aurora in Sleeping Beauty Act 3 during graduation):

THIS JUST IN OVERNIGHT: State-media broadcaster 'PTV-4' bids farewell for 'PCSO Lottery Draw' after nearly 3 decades for the upcoming New Year's Eve celebration [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer and Presenter of OneNETnews & Online Media Reporter & Broadcaster of ONC)

MANDALUYONG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Lottery Draw officially bid its final farewell Monday night (December 30th, 2024 -- Mandaluyong local time) after nearly three (3) decades on-the-air on its flagship state-media broadcaster PTV-4 (People's Television). Since then, it has been the staple programme on that said state TV network, as audiences followed faithfully just to catch the draws for the sweepstakes in hopes of crossing the threshold into a better life.

The PCSO Lottery Draw (PLD), was a significant program for Filipinos from all walks of life to try their luck and win big in the different lotto games, such as Grand Lotto 6/55 and Mega Lotto 6/45. The draw had already produced several notable winners throughout its run, with the historic split-billionaire prize of nearly PHP1.2 billion (or U$D20.750 billion) won by two individual bettors from their respected regions of Albay and Eastern Samar in mid-October 2018, as well as the PHP236 million (or nearly U$D4.1M prize) split among 433 winners in October 2022.

For a brief context, The PCSO Lottery Draw (formerly known as the Philippine Lotto Draw), and it is a Philippine television game show that has been aired first on March 8th, 1995 on the PTV network as a 5-minute lottery show, before it expanded today into 30-minute lottery programme. Both the parimutuel and fixed payout lottery games and the sweepstakes games will be drawn in the said programme. It has been a staple on PTV, providing the results of the daily lotto drawings and donating proceeds to charitable causes because of ticket sales.

The recent and last PLD broadcast on PTV-4 saw the finale of Grand Lotto jackpot winner from 'Legazpi, Albay' named 'Carlos Llenaresas Moscoso Jr.', who brought home the millionaire prize of PHP202.5 million (or U$D3,501,552). For the last time unfortunately; both the Grand Lotto 6/55 (which currently resets to PHP29.7 million), and Mega Lotto 6/45 worth PHP54.801 million, have no winners in sight for last night's broadcast.

From December 31st onwards on New Year's Eve, the draws will be aired on a new state-media broadcaster home to Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) Channel 13 and DWKC-TV 31.6's D8TV (under BEAM TV Network) on Television, DWAN 1206khz AM, Radyo Sincero FM stations including Dumaguete City at 95.9mhz (under 'SGTIT Infinite Radio'), and syndicated nationwide for radio audiences, ensuring continuity for lottery fans across the country with LIVE draws scheduled to air daily at 2pm, 5pm and 9pm on various platforms including online streaming services like Facebook and YouTube LIVE (both are separately owned by Meta Platforms Inc. and Google's Alphabet).

In fact, the lottery outlets are less likely being affected, much owing to the change from PTV-4 to IBC-13 since the live draws of the lottery will continue airing on other platforms, and several local radio stations nationwide so that the lottery enthusiasts can easily view the results. It will also ensure the continuity on Facebook and YouTube so that the viewers around the world can access the same thing.

The last lottery broadcast on PTV-4 was also a sendoff, as it ended an era with the long history of PLD on the network and at the same time marked a transition point by bringing attention to the move to IBC-13 and ensuring that the PCSO fans would be informed and prepared of the change in broadcast channels.

Every tech journey has its challenges, only the comebacks that make history. How a company adapts, innovates, and reinvents itself amidst challenges often tells a compelling story. Take Ethereum, for instance. It recovered after the significant DAO setback in 2016 and solidified its place as the leading smart contract platform. Similarly, Agoric, a Proof-of-Stake chain utilizing Hardened JavaScript smart contracts to rapidly build and deploy DeFi. This platform showed what it means to build, persevere, and emerge stronger in the ever-evolving tech industry. Let’s explore how this company navigated the complexities of the tech landscape, turned challenges into opportunities, and crafted a unique position in the Web3 world. Diving Deep: Why Agoric Isn’t Just Another Name Although the concept of “Market-based programming” has been around for decades, Agoric redefined its potential. Agoric was officially launched in 2018 by a group of security researchers and computer scientists, including Mark Miller, Dean Tribble, Brian Warner, and Bill Tulloh. They wanted to translate the complex language of blockchain into the universally understood language of JavaScript, removing barriers for Web2 developers to enter. Essentially, they’re building a connector between the Web2 and Web3 world. The CEO of Agoric, Dean Tribble, once shared, “Our goal has always been to bring the entire world’s economy online safely. Agoric is dedicated to providing a modern programming framework that enables developers, including those already skilled in JavaScript, to create a wide range of applications. Our approach opens the doors for mainstream developers to engage with Web3 and build innovative solutions, moving seamlessly from traditional programming to decentralized technologies.”  Leveraging the robustness of the Cosmos SDK, and the Tendermint proof of stake system, Agoric allows developers to craft decentralized apps, including financial tools like collateralized loans and options. Their collaboration with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol working group, aligning with stalwarts like Tendermint and the Interchain Foundation, further strengthens their position. When we talk about backing, Agoric isn’t short of prominent names. Investors like Naval Ravikant, Polychain Capital, NGC Ventures, and the Zcash Company have shown their support. It reinforced the merit and potential of Agoric’s tech vision with a total of 22 investors placing their trust in the company. The industry certainly recognizes the potency of Agoric’s vision. Agoric focuses on two primary principles: security and seamless integration. They have designed their programming framework with a strong emphasis on safety. It ensures that developers can trust the reliability and security of their smart contracts.  Beyond facilitating the transition of Web2 developers to Web3, they offer a mix of high-quality software development services, an advanced layer-1 blockchain system, and the BLD token. The BLD token is not just a digital token, it is the core of the entire Agoric ecosystem. The BLD Token BLD token has multiple functions within Agoric’s framework. As both a governance and utility token, it allows holders to shape the platform’s direction and access various services of the Agoric ecosystem. The native token also encourages active involvement in the network. It rewards users for staking their tokens. The BLD token’s role in enhancing the ecosystem’s security is evident. From the growth chart of the BLD token, it’s clear that its value took a dip during a period when Agoric was going through a slow phase. However, as Agoric refocused and developed solid use cases for their tech and the BLD token, there was a noticeable shift from initial setbacks to renewed focus. Recent trends suggest a renewed interest in BLD. While it’s easy to fixate on numbers, the BLD token value comes from the innovations of the Agoric ecosystem, such as their focus on security, decentralized markets,

self-executing contracts, and embracing widely-used languages like JavaScript to make it easy for developers to build. The Team The comeback of Agoric and the significance of the BLD token cannot be discussed without talking about the team. The Agoric team persisted even during challenging periods. We are talking about industry heavyweights with proven track records of making waves. Take Mark S. Miller, a luminary in secure computing and smart contracts, who has made pivotal contributions to E and Dr. SES languages, coupled with his influential tenures at Google and the Foresight Institute, his expertise is unmatched. Then there is Dean Tribble, the visionary CEO responsible for the pioneering AMIX smart contract and groundbreaking innovations at Microsoft’s Midori OS. His collaboration with SunLabs for the WebMart electronic contract is a testament to his talent. Not to be overshadowed, Michael Jablon is the strategist responsible for igniting Spectrum’s digital phone surge, amassing an impressive 4 million users and raking in a whopping $2 billion annually.  Conclusion Agoric has faced many challenges on its path, showing how tough the world of tech and blockchain can be. They have seen good and bad times, but their efforts to innovate, come up with new solutions, and adapt stand out. Instead of only following the latest trends, they delve deep into the heart of tech and remain focused on their mission to onboard the Web2 economy into Web3. Agoric’s journey shows how staying focused and bouncing back from setbacks can make a big difference. Agoric doesn’t just survive challenges – it thrives, turning every setback into an opportunity for innovation and growth. In the narrative of Web3’s evolution, Agoric, with its steady resolve and the potency of the BLD token, is setting down roots that promise both influence and longevity. In Agoric’s journey, there is a lesson for all: True innovation stems not from the absence of challenges, but the courage to face them head-on. Source

Moscow IBC / VBA Grads Questions

Hi Ale! Do you know if we can watch the Moscow IBC online? If so, where?

It's broadcast on Medici.tv !

I dont think IBC gonna be a fair competition. lmfao just looking at the jury.... aint no way. I have my predictions of winners and people that will def place. Anyways, must be tough both for Valiullina and Koshkaryova coz they're preparing for grad concert and at the same time the competition.... but i think they'll place. have u seen Koshkaryova at mariinsky's concert? Yeah, fateev will never let her get away.

The judging at the most recent edition (2017) was actually pretty decent IMO. The best people won, and there was a notable diversity of schools and nationalities among the prize winners. That won't happen this year, obviously, due to the war. My bigger concern is about the big names competing. Generally, competitions like these are to give dancers a chance to launch or relaunch their careers. It's supposed to be a springboard. If you're a prominent first soloist in a huge theatre, do you really need to be at this competition? They already have a stable job, public interest and attention, and a good repertoire and touring opportunities. While I'm super excited to see them perform, and I know the fame, money, and prestige are attractive, I'm also like....what are you doing here? There are other dancers who could benefit more, there are other dancers who need it more, some are betting it all on this competition.

I know how exhausted I was going to an IBC in my last year of schooling. I don't envy Koshkaryova and Valiullina in the slightest. Especially because I don't think they can 'reuse' anything they're going to dance for the grad shows in Moscow. And they have so little time in between! And yes, I think Fayteev has learned his lesson after the Smirnova debacle...they've 'lost' too many of their best girls to MK or BT

The fact that in the same class that Koshkareva's has Valiulina, Sharova and Kamysheva. It's like 2018 all over again lol. My only hope is that they accept all the girls at MT or even BT.

To be honest, I think this year of girls is more similar to 2015, where there are two really outstanding students (Shakirova and Lukina) with some other good dancers in that year (Elena Solomyanko, Nika Tsvikhtaria, Olga Makarova)

Promsvyazbank By Ananyev Brothers Left Boris Mintz Without 13.3 Billion Rubles

Our article today will focus on a “feigned deal” that involved placement of the managing company NPF "Future" of Boris Mints deposits for 13.3 billion rubles in Promsvyazbank in order to ensure the receipt of money from the sale of 10% of Promsvyazbank itself the day before it was reorganized- this was a point raised by a representative of the PSB during the hearings on the lawsuit on controversial deposits in 2018.

This is how the scheme looked according to the lawyers of the PSB: On December 11, 2017 the Central Bank issued to Dmitri Ananyev (at the time the head of the PSB and his co-owner) an order to complete the reserves for 100 billion rubles, and "it was clear that this amount would not be covered." The members of the bank's board of directors, including Dmitry Mints (the son of Boris Mints, the main shareholder of the "Future" group), were to receive information about the order right away. According to the lawyer of the PSB, the Future Fund, on December 14, from 18:13 to 18:49, almost sold its stake in Mossbirge to Promsvyaz Capital B.V. (at that time the main shareholder of Promsvyazbank), while Promsvyaz Capital B.V. paid for the shares at the expense of the bank. Just after half an hour, deposits began to be made to the accounts of the management company of this NPF - Concord Asset Management- in the bank. Two business days later, on December 18, the transaction was paid in accordance with the rules of the Mossbirge.

In January (2018), the bank’s capital was written off to 1 ruble, so if the APF did not sell the shares, it would have lost its investment. Furthermore, the share in the PSB, owned by NPF "Future", "would have fallen from 8 billion rubles up to 8 kopecks.” Knowing about the future sanation, NPF sold shares and put 13.3 billion rubles, pension savings of their customers to the account in that bank realizing that the Central Bank would save the bank and the funds on deposits could be returned.

Unrelated Transactions:

During the court session, “Concord Asset Management” recalled that since December 7, 2017, they signed with Ananyev Promsvyazbank several agreements on the placement of deposits for a total of 13.3 billion rubles. But on December 15, the bank’s credit rating changed in connection with the decision of the Central Bank to sanitize Promsvyazbank, and after that, the company decided to return the deposits, but the bank ignored that claim, which it tried to challenge in the court of Concord.

The management company emphasized that the placement of deposits and payment for shares were not related. Talking about the sale of shares and the placement of a deposit, the company pointed out that the rehabilitation of a number of banks was accompanied by a write-off of capital and a complete depreciation of investments in shares, while obligations on deposits remained. Therefore, FG "Future", the mother company of NPF "Future" acted on the basis of the logic of managers in that situation.

The Central Bank, which was brought to the dispute as a third person, believed that the placement of deposits in the PSB was not dictated by financial and economic feasibility.

Although, FG “Future” press service stated that Dmitry Mints was not a member of the board of directors of Promsvyazbank since September 2017 and "could not have relevant information", Dmitry Mints appeared as a member of the board of directors on the list of affiliated entities of Promsvyazbank on December 31, which was explained by outdated data in the list in the press service of FG “Future”.

FG "Future" showed a loss of 16.4 billion rubles following the results of 2017. According to the results of the first quarter of 2018, the assets of APF "Future", the largest of the funds of Boris Mints, were 308.9 billion rubles, 4.5 million people were its customers. 75% FG "Future" was then mortgaged on a loan from the Moscow Credit Bank (MKB) for 25 billion rubles. Roman Avdeev, the owner of the IBC, transferred the debt to its structure, the Rossium concern, and she raised the Cyprus Riverstretch Trading & Investments (RT & I) to "structure the deal." It was a question of whether the debt was about to or already had been assigned to the Cyprus company. Although the company was associated with GC Region, but the group outright denied connection with the offshore company.

Shortwave Radiogram, 2-5 November 2018: Digital moon rocks

The big news this weekend is that our Saturday broadcast on 9400 kHz will change its time to 1400-1430 UTC (it was 1600-1630 UTC). This should improve reception in Europe by keeping it in the daylight hours. We will find out how this time change will affect reception in Asia/Pacific and North America. (The Mighty KBC will also change its time on 9400 kHz from 1500-1600 to 1300-1400 UTC, with a minute of MFSK64 at about 1330 UTC.) As we approach winter, listeners in Europe should encounter better reception Friday at 2030-2100 UTC on 7780 kHz, and possibly some reception Monday at 0800-0830 UTC on 7730 or 5850 kHz. In most of North America, daylight savings time ends 4 November. Shortwave Radiogram stays at its UTC broadcast times, so this weekend the Sunday transmission will be at 6:30 pm EST and the Monday transmission at the delightful hour of 3:00 am EST. Last week we transmitted Thor 22. I'm not sure if Thor 22 text (78 wpm) decodes more successfully than MFSK32 (120 wpm) in difficult reception conditions. One advantage is that Thor22 images can be adjusted to eliminate phase and slant issues, just as I have done here by using the arrows ...                         

When the corrections are made, click the Save button to save the image as a png file in the folder \fldigi.files\images\ -- the same folder where your decoded MFSK images are automatically saved. The original .raw file of your Thor22 image is also stored in that folder: You might want to delete it after the png image has been saved, because the .raw file can be 7 to 8 Mb in size. You can also retrieve stored .raw files for later adjustments by using this procedure. Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 2030 UTC) and by 2010DFS in Japan and Ralf in Germany (both Saturday 1600 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis of last weekend’s Shortwave Radiogram and other programs transmitting text and images is prepared by Roger in Germany. This weekend on Shortwave Radiogram we will include another Thor22 item, this time with a gray scale (back and white) image. And the usual MFSK32 and 64, with eight MFSK64 images. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 72, 2-5 November 2018, in modes as noted: 1:40  MFSK32: Program preview 2:48  Thor 22: Auction of moon rocks from Soviet 1970 mission* 8:56  MFSK64: NASA retires Kepler space telescope* 13:29  China steps up VPN blocks* 16:36  Images of the week* 27:54  MFSK32: Closing announcements * with image(s) Please send reception reports to radiogram@verizon.net And visit http://swradiogram.net Twitter: @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram (visit during the weekend to see listeners' results).                        

Slow Scan Radio transmits SSTV images and text modes Wednesdays at 1830-1900 UTC on 6070 kHz via Channel 292 in Germany. The website is http://www.slowscanradio.com. Reception reports to  x@xdv.me. The Mighty KBC transmits to Europe Saturdays at 1300-1400 UTC on 9400 kHz (via Bulgaria), with the minute of MFSK at about 1330 UTC (if you are outside of Europe, listen via websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ ). And to North America Sundays at 0000-0200 UTC (Saturday 8-10 pm EDT) on 5960 kHz, via Germany. The minute of MFSK is at about 0130 UTC.  Reports to Eric: themightykbc@gmail.com .

IRVINE CITY COUNCIL

MELISSA FOX - RECORD AS CITY COUNCIL MEMBER

(Parts of this was taken from the LiberalOC and the Orange County Register)

There are rules about how much money you can collect from individuals depending on the office you seek.

In Irvine, candidates for city council can raise $490 per contributor. $980 per couple. Developers tend to spread their money around and make “non-partisan“ contributions but always pro-development. The beneficiaries are the candidates who remember the developers who buttered their bread . . . MAYOR DONALD WAGNER and MAYOR PRO TEM CHRISTINA SHEA are shining examples of this.

Melissa Fox is the sole Democrat on the Irvine City Council. She has aligned herself with Donald Wagner and Christina Shea . . . two of the most homophobic electeds in Orange County . . . and has become a reliable pro-developer vote. Votes that benefit FivePoint and their consultant Starpointe Ventures, and other developers like The Irvine Company and Sapetto Development.

Last year Melissa Fox opened a “Melissa Fox for County Central Committee 2020.” An elective office where the election is scheduled for the Primary vote date in 2020 . . . three years before any voter can cast a ballot. It is highly unusual for a Democrat who is an ELECTED OFFICIAL to have a Committee to raise funds for an election for a VOLUNTEER POST where the election is three years away.

Reports show at they end of 2017, significant contributions to the “Melissa Fox for County Central Committee 2020” account included:

• $5,000 from Asian Americans for Good Government

• $1,000 from Little Tree Montessori International School

• $1,500 from Southwest Regional Council of Carpenter’s

• $2,500 from Oliver Wyss, GM of OC Soccer Club - plays at the Great Park

• $10,000 from the Orange County Victory Fund* made on November 2, 2017 

*The Orange County Victory Fund was dormant for almost all of 2017 until it received a $12,000 contribution on October 27, 2017 from Starpointe Ventures, a FivePoint Consultancy managed by Patrick Strader. One week later, the “Melissa Fox for County Central Committee 2020” account was $10,000 richer with a check from the Orange County Victory Fund.

MAY, 2017: 

Assembly member Sharon Quirk-Silva successfully inserted into the pending 2017- 2018 State budget, a $30 million grant to CalVet to commence construction of the Veterans Cemetery in the Great Park, beginning with demolition, removal of hazardous waste and site clearing.

JUNE 6, 2017: 

City Council meeting. Even though Councilmember Melissa Fox’s requirement of State funding was met, this special meeting was called on 24-hour notice by Mayor Don Wagner and Councilmember Fox, just 10 days before the State budget was to be adopted by the Legislature. At this June 6th meeting, on a 3-2 vote (Mayor Wagner and Councilmembers Christina Shea and Melissa Fox voting YES; and Councilmembers Jeff Lalloway and Lynn Schott voting NO) the Council rejected the $30 million in pending State funding, abandoning the Great Park Veterans Cemetery project in favor of a vaguely described land exchange with FivePoint Communities that would put the Veterans Cemetery at a site they labeled “Strawberry Fields.”

OCTOBER 2017 - NOVEMBER 2017

Melissa Fox was hosting training sessions in her Irvine home to instruct volunteers on how to block petition gatherers for the Ed Pope Referendum on opposing the Veteran’s Cemetery Land-Swap . . . a referendum FivePoint hoped to defeat.

DECEMBER 2017

Melissa Fox, Christina Shea, and Donald Wagner approved two

15-story buildings, a hotel, and an office building near John Wayne Airport.

The developer, Great Far East, uses Starpointe Ventures for their entitlement consulting expertise. The construction of these buildings were labeled “a potential air travel hazard” by the city’s Airport Land Use Commission and the California Department of Transportation. But the THREE ALMIGHTY approved it anyway. 

JANUARY 2018

Melissa Fox, Christina Shea, and Donald Wagner approved a 

StarPointe Venture, Patrick Strader, IBC Development with limited affordable housing over a competing project with nearly three times the affordable/low income housing. (Tell me again, CHRISTINA, how this Land Trust does such good work . . . because we only have YOUR word, and your track record isn’t so good)

IRVINE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST

This Land Trust was established in 2007 by the City of Irvine for the purpose of creating permanent affordable housing in the community. It has since broken off from the City of Irvine and has become its own entity. The By-Laws were changed to state that they have closed door Board meetings. As a requirement to receive federal grant money, (the Land Trust receives TWO federal grants every year) they are REQUIRED to have their Board meetings open to the public. The Irvine City Council approves 10% of Budget Funds as a donation every year to this organization. Do we know what projects this Land Trust has in their pipeline? No. Do we know how much of our City funds are actually going to affordable housing? No. Apparently this Land Trust does whatever it wants . . . and do you know why that is? Because MELISSA FOX, CHRISTINA SHEA and STARPOINTE VENTURES CEO PATRICK STRADER are all on the BOARD. And . . . MELISSA FOX, in her position as a City Council member, requested $6 MILLION in City funds be transferred to the Land Trust, on which she is a Board member, along with a registered lobbyist, who (as proven time and time again) pays her for her votes.

And does MELISSA FOX really expect us to believe her lies about the City will go bankrupt if they approve a Veterans Cemetery at the GREAT PARK SITE? If that land is so contaminated then why all of a sudden does the City seem to have a problem? They didn’t have a problem building homes on contaminated soil. Do you think it matters with a cemetery? If the three City Council members would donate some of their FivePoint money we would have our cemetery. But because they decided to be greedy, we get nothing.

Melissa Fox has several lawsuits both personally and professionally regarding her law firm, The Fox Law Firm. They include charges of Professional Negligence, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Violation of Business and Professional Codes, Misuse of Client Funds, Commingling of Trust Account Funds, Improper Money Transfers, Failing to Maintain Investor Records, Representing the Interests of other Entities that are in Direct Opposition of its Client, and the list goes on. Orange County case numbers 30-2012-00580623 and 30-2009-00295919.

Life Cycle Analyses of PV Solar Systems: Nowadays, Forecast, Process and Replacements

Abstract

Taking advantage of the technology’s fiercely improved competitiveness in Solar Power, Portugal is investing solid in this type of technology. Solar energy has been presented as a key solution for satisfying the energy demand with environmental and social benefits. Being true on energy production (electricity and thermal), on the remaining life cycle one can find evidences far from it. The electric components of a PV panel are still based on rare elements, such as Silicium. The manufacturing the Solar panels requires cooper, iron, steel and other metals. The electricity by PV production obliges the use of storage devices, mainly batteries, that uses elements dangerous for the environment, such as acids. Also, modern batteries are based on rare elements, such as lithium. The exploration of raw materials, such as silicium and lithium, is very controversial because of the local social impacts on agriculture, forestry, and landscape of rural areas, for example.

The present paper presents the different principal technologies on market (monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin film), the necessary devices (load regulator, protections, e.g.), the common devices (such as storage devices and backup systems), and focus on their materials impact, based on a life-cycle analyses. The present paper also presents the process of full recycling a PV solar system. It is possible to realize that, despite the high energy impact and environmental impact in mining and manufacturing, the PV solar systems fully compensate in the short run. Thereby, there is not only the economic advantage.

Keywords: Life cycle analyses; Environmental impact; Recycling; Waste management; Solar PV panels; DC cables; Inverter

    Introduction

Around the world, 2018 brought the PV industry many ups and downs, policy shift, tariffs, cancellations and lack of clarity about the future of solar PV with or without storage. The industry’s extreme uncertainty had impacted every section of the PV supply chain. Global solar PV installations will reach a new high of 114.5GW by the end of 2019, up 17.5% on 2018. The market is now back on a strong growth trajectory after a slowdown in 2018. Annual installations are expected to rise to around 125GW per year by the early 2020s (Figure 1).

Technological innovations will reduce the cost of electricity (LCOE) by source in the next decade. Since 2010, prices for photovoltaic solar panels have dropped by approximately 90%, an incredible reduction that makes this technology attractive. Figure 2 [1] shows the evolution of the prices of photovoltaic solar panels. It was in 2010 that solar energy grew at a giant pace. In the last decade alone, solar installations worldwide have grown more than 6 times, from 16GW in 2010 to 105GW in 2019 (annual values). Meanwhile, prices for silicon solar panels have dropped from just over €2 / W to just over €0.20 / W in the third quarter of 2019! A price reduction of around 90% has become one of the most important factors driving the worldwide expansion of solar energy. No other electricity generation technology has been able to keep up with this pace of reducing solar energy costs during this period.

Decade of 2010 witnessed the following improvements in solar panels: More efficient monocrystalline silicon panels began to replace polycrystalline silicon panels, becoming the predominant panels. Solar panels began to use advanced cell architectures, such as the passive emitter and posterior contact (PERC) and interdigital posterior contact (IBC), the straight union with an intrinsic thin layer and double-sided cell technologies. Panels based on larger cells (158mm and above) and N-type cells begin to dominate the market. Innovative panel techniques, such as medium-cut panels and solar tiles, are starting to have their market share.

China and the United States, as leaders in the solar sector, will need to build recycling plants or find an alternative way to deal with this waste. Figure 3 [3] shows the cumulative waste volumes of the leading countries in solar installations and the volume of end-of-life waste by 2050. [2] analysis has detected a variety of developments and some thoughts on the top 10 trends to watch this year:

a) The market will (finally) crack 100 GW for the first time b) More sub-$30/MWh bids—and maybe even another record low

c) Revised policy targets will determine the market’s longterm growth

d) Another entrant to the subsidy-free club in Europe.

e) Big business goes big on corporate solar procurement in the U.S.

f) More projects trading hands, particularly in the U.S.

g) Large-scale solar-plus-storage comes into the spotlight but remains a niche solution in emerging markets.

h) Mono PERC and bifacial modules keep CapEx costs marching down.

i) A make-or-break year for mega-project plans.

j) Oil and gas majors embrace solar in upstream and power.

The point 4 (Another entrant to the subsidy-free club in Europe) refers to Spain, Portugal, and Italy have been at the vanguard of subsidy-free utility-scale solar PV, with multiple gigawatts in the development pipeline. This year will see the first wave of those projects delivered. As costs continue to come down, 2019 is also set to be the year that the trend spreads beyond Southern Europe. In the UK, there has been no support scheme available for large-scale solar PV since the Renewables Obligation closed in the first quarter of 2017. Nevertheless, there are projects of 2.3GW that either already have or are awaiting planning permission in the development pipeline that could be delivered without subsidy. This is of special importance for Portugal in the short run subject to energy production in terms of energy and in the long run for waste management in terms of recycling. The renewable energy new investments are shown in Figure 4. [4] It is possible to observe that solar energy has the major new investments, followed by close by small hydro.

Figure 5 [5] shows the past investments by Country groups. It is possible to observe that the total investment in solar power was down almost a quarter in 2017, partly due to changes in Chinese solar policy, which restricted new projects’ access to the feed-in tariff.

    Solar Technologies

Energy Trend believes that the PV industry has faced several critical challenges as well as reshufflings in 2018. In the face of these developments, the industry is expected to become healthier and more stable in the long run. As the supply chain’s prices continue to decline, the PV industry is expected to approach grid parity with fewer subsidies. The popularity of non-subsidized systems and the actual uniform power cost (LCOE) will become the price indicators for supply chains in the future. Further price decline expected and sales increase.

Although the whole PV supply chain suffered from low margin and oversupply in 2018, the Rank companies still reported strong operating results driven by their advanced technologies, competitive cost structure and wide global distributions. Most of their capacity expansion plans can still be put into practice. Because of that, the upstream sectors have continuously become more concentrated and Mono-Si wafers to be the mainstream supply. With mono-Si wafers becoming mainstream and taking up to 60% of the annual wafer supply in 2019, their supply chain will play a more dominant role in the market. It will also reverse the situation that multi-Si products are more competitive than mono-Si ones in recent years, and multi-Si manufacturers with less market competitiveness will gradually be eliminated in the future. For decades thin film modules have struggled to grow or even maintain market share, however, new approaches to largearea module production and other advances show that thin film is gaining ground on its inherently superior cost and performance profiles.

Thin solar panels use solar cells produced from Cadmium Telluride, a compound that makes them flexible, light and environmentally friendly. As they have a flexible feature, and because they are thin, they have several applications. In terms of value, they are cheaper than poly or mono solar modules, but with an efficiency of only 16%. Ideal for outdoor activities as they allow you to charge mobile phones or tablets. Polycrystalline solar panels use polycrystalline silicon solar cells, which are cheaper than monocrystalline silicon cells. They have a better efficiency when compared to thin solar panels, about 17%, but being a fixed solar module, it cannot walk from one side to the other. Monocrystalline solar panels are produced from high purity silicone, which is cut into pieces and then used to create a highly efficient solar module. Panasonic currently offers solar panels with an efficiency of 19.7%, with solar cells of 21.7% efficiency. Double-sided solar panels can provide a bonus between 5% to 15% of the output power with only a price premium of 2% to 3%. Because fewer solar panels will be used to produce the same amount of electricity, double-sided panels can reduce system balance (BoS) costs by 3% to 7%. [7-10].

    How fast do solar panels degrade/lose their efficiency?

Solar panel manufacturers put a lot of effort into making their solar panels robust. They need to be able to withstand heat/cold cycles and heavy weather. However, solar panels are not flawless, and they will inevitably age. The rated power output of solar panels typically degrades at about 0.5%/year. However, thin-film solar panels (a-Si, CdTe and CIGS) degrades faster than panels that are based on mono- and polycrystalline solar panels. Table 1 [11] shows the output loss in percentage per year, where Pre and Post refer to installations prior to and post 2000.

Solar panels typically degrade faster in the first couple of years of their life. It is difficult to precise the life expectancy of solar panels and the real Lifecycle of Solar Panels. However, one can find interesting to associate it to the warranties given by the manufacturers. Figure 6 [12] shows different solar panel warranties on the market nowadays for different manufacturers based on the guarantee that the performance of their solar panels will stay above the presented ranges. Most manufacturers offer the 25-year standard solar panel warranty, which means that power output should not be less than 80% of rated power after 25 years. So, the question that raises is what will happen to solar panels after those 25 years? The truth is one doesn`t really know since there is not really a lot of data to look at since photovoltaics is a relatively new technology (most of all solar panels are less than 10 years old). What can one do to extend the life of my solar panels?

a) Avoid physical damage (e.g. trees and bushes blowing in the wind and creating scratches). The more surface scratches, the more performance degradation. In the worst-case, water can seep through the surface, which can short-circuit the solar panels.

b) Regular maintenance and cleaning are important.

c) The more weather and wind the solar panels are exposed to, the faster they will degrade (e.g. think about shelter from the wind when evaluating placement).

With the rapid growth of solar energy in recent years, some concerns are raised, such as the analysis of the life cycle of photovoltaic panels and their useful life.

a) After reaching their time limit, can they be recycled or reused?

b) How much energy does a photovoltaic system need in its production?

c) And how much CO2 is released into the environment for its production? [13]

    LCA- life cycle assessment

A life cycle assessment (LCA - also called a ‘life cycle analysis’) examines every aspect of a product’s life from the gathering of raw materials right up to its disposal and eventual breakdown. Life cycle analysis is a technique for measuring the environmental impacts associated with a product’s life stages from raw material extraction, production, distribution, use, final disposal, and recycling. This involves the amount of material and energy required by all these steps in addition to the emission of pollutants and waste during use. Even environmentally ‘friendly’ technologies like solar panels have some impact on the environment, and it is well worth considering how much energy goes into their manufacture. A proper LCA will by necessity be as specific as possible to measure the total influence of the product, especially considering things like how and where materials and components are produced, and what sorts of emissions are associated with transport.

First the quartzite is mined and refined into silicon, then further processed to make a silicon cell. Components are then assembled and shipped in bulk around the world to individual retailers. From there, the products are purchased and installed in people’s homes where they will begin to pay back the energy used in their production. At the end of their lives - normally somewhere between 25 and 30 years, some components may be recycled, reversing any energy used in the initial gathering and others will need to be scrapped. In addition to the cell itself, glass for the covering, aluminium for the framing and copper for the wiring as well as various rubbers and plastics all go into making the completed kit. Nearly all the energy ‘consumed’ across a solar panel setup’s life cycle (close to 85%) comes from turning the quartzite rock into a silicon wafer. More specifically, about half of this energy is consumed turning the silicon from metallurgic grade silicon (MG-Si) into a refined solar-grade silicon (SoG-Si) required in solar cells.

As well as the solar panels themselves, a complete assessment also needs to consider other supporting hardware like DC to AC inverters. The amount of energy used in the production of a 1kW solar PV system creates nearly two tonnes of greenhouse gases. The next largest contributor to energy use is the production of the inverter, but at only around 7% of the total, it pales in comparison to the production of the solar panels. Batteries and inverters typically must be replaced every 5 to 10 years. Solar panels are relatively quick to generate enough energy to offset the amount used in their own production, so they are quite efficient.

The European Union was the first world body to adopt specific laws for future solar panel waste. The European directive included specific objectives for the collection and recycling of solar panels and obliges all producers to finance the costs of this collection. This Directive introduced the legal obligation to recycle photovoltaic panels, across Europe. In Portugal, the transposition of the directive into the national legislative framework attributed this responsibility to producers of this type of equipment, as of 8 May 2014 (Decree-Law No. 67/2014, of 7 May). [14-22].

    Recycling process

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) carried out a study and published in 2015, a report that says that the volumes of photovoltaic panel waste in 2050 could be worth millions of euros in the world market for basic products, whenever appropriate recycling is done and the materials are reused. For example, the project CABRISS of Horizonte 2020 [23] that was launched in July 2015 showed that it is possible to use three main techniques to extract reusable materials of high value and efficiency from recycled panels:

a) A process to remove the blade and to recover recyclable materials such as silver, silicon and high purity glass with thin photovoltaic film at the end of its useful life and photovoltaic module

b) A technique for the recovery of solid waste from solar manufacturing

c) It is a kerf process for drying photovoltaic silicon waste from material lost during the cutting process.

To identify the component characterization some steps are made. The first part to remove from the different types of components present in the modules is the frame, which is easily removed manually. All the material can be fully recycle. The glass layer present in the modules is thus easily accessible to be removed manually and is then comminated in an aluminum mortar. After comminution, the powder is sieved through a sieve and sent for X-ray fluorescence analysis.

The photovoltaic cells present in the modules are coated with different polymeric materials, so a process using solvents is required to remove the material. Preliminary tests are carried out with several types of solvents (Hydrofluoric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Alcohol, Acetone and a solution mentioned in the literature containing 300ml of HF 40% PA, 30 ml of HNO365% PA, 90 ml of H2O DI and 3g of NH4F (65 )). There are two procedures that best detach the cell from the module:

a) Pieces of about 1cm² are dipped in HF 40% P.A. and left for 48 hours. The glass of these pieces is previously removed manually. This immersion resulted in the precipitation of small amounts of a black coloured powder. This procedure is repeated until approximately 10g of material is obtained. Then, the solution was filtered by gravity on 45μm filter paper. The filtered material was washed with distilled water, dried in an oven at 100oC and ground in an aluminum mortar, for further analysis by X-ray diffraction and fluorescence.

b) For encapsulating material of the module with greater surface area (rough), pieces with about 2 cm² were dipped in PA sulfuric acid and left for 48 hours, subjected to constant magnetic stirring to facilitate the removal of silicon. There is no prior separation of the module glass. Once the desired material has precipitated, the solution is filtered by gravity on 45 μm filter paper. The filtered material is washed with distilled water, dried in an oven at 100oC and ground in an aluminum mortar, for further analysis by X-ray diffraction and fluorescence. The final material consists of a fine black powder. The material is sieved, so that the particles had a size less than or equal to 0.044mm. This material was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence. X-ray diffraction analysis can be performed on a diffractometer employing Cu-Kα radiation, θ-θ goniometer (theta-theta) and graphite monochromator at the detector entrance.

In order to better analyze the constitution of the photovoltaic cell, a sample of module A is taken to the optical microscope. To do this, the front glass layer and the adhesive layer of a 2cm² sample from the module are manually removed. The metallic filaments present in the modules are the following elements: Copper, lead and tin. The Silver Concentration / Extraction processes start with the segregation of the materials present in order to allow the proposition of a recycling route. Grinding, granulometric separation, leaching, precipitation and thermal process (pyrolysis) procedures are used. Initially, grinding is carried out together in knife mills in order to make a comminution of all parts without any prior separation (except for the external aluminum frames). The modules pass through a knife mill several times with different opening grids. After the grinding step, a granulometric separation is made using a sieve on a sieve shaker, obtaining three different fractions: smaller (<0.5mm), intermediate (0.5mm  1 , 0mm), then being digested in a 3: 1 solution of aqua regia (3 parts of 38% hydrochloric acid to 1 part of 64% nitric acid), with stirring. There is a risk of precipitation of silver chloride but using aqua regia is a common solution in works for the characterization of metals in waste electrical and electronic equipment. In order to concentrate the silver identified in the photovoltaic cell, leaching with nitric acid is carried out. Digestion takes place at room temperature for two hours, under magnetic stirring. The solution is filtered, the precipitate is reserved. The filtered solution was analyzed via atomic absorption spectrometry (AA) to quantify the silver in solution. The amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) to be added can be determined empirically by making the addition in two steps and observing precipitation. If precipitation does not occur in the second step, it appears that all ionic silver reacted with the chloride. Thus, 1.5g of NaCl is added to the filtered solution to precipitate silver in the form of Silver Chloride (AgCl).

The main difficulty encountered in separating the components is due to the polymeric adhesive material that joins the glass layer and the semiconductor layer (cell). Even when the glass layer is removed manually, the polymeric adhesive remains attached to the semiconductor layer. Therefore, the idea of using a previous pyrolysis aims at removing this adhesive layer beforehand to facilitate a later concentration of silver. [24-29].

    Conclusion

Technological innovations, lower prices, widespread market opportunities and small-scale investments lead to a massive introduction of PV solar systems and forecasted to grow exponentially. This amazing primary energy is not neutral, and the life cycle is required to be considered.

a) It is possible to conclude that solar PV full cycle proves that the environmental impact and cost of these technologies is low. Also, the recycling process is quite simple and low-cost. Although the solar PV systems are not neutral, the environmental impact allied with the energy and economic benefits are a boost for this primary energy on the mix.

The Ledge #466: Home Plays

I have to admit that I get too hung up on themes. Obviously, the new release episode is always going to be a part of the lineup, but I really don't have to create a basis for my weekly music choices. I actually wish that I could think in terms of just randomly airing songs that fir my mood for the day.

This week I actually attempt such a show, but there's still sort of a theme. These are all records that I've been listening to in my spare time. One is a newly-unearthed Rolling Stones bootleg. There's tracks from a great compilation of late 60's rockers from The Dakotas. There's a new Neil Young live album from his vast archives.

But the freedom of this loose theme is that I did throw in some songs that I have never aired before. That Soiuxsie and the Banshees album that I happened to grab at the record store a few weeks ago? Sure, why not. The Lloyd Cole track from the box set I ordered directly from Lloyd? Yep. A great 2018 album by The Conquerors that my friend Dan recommended? Of course. There's also some more recent records that have received some recent airplay, and there's always room for some live Replacements!

After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or

How to Tackle Problems in the Vegetable Garden | Ultimate Gardening Skills Series

Hello and a very warm welcome back to the garden. Gardening is a relatively simple process. However, during the growing season, we can often come up against challenges that can hinder our progress or even worse cause stress and overwhelm. And these could be things for example pest issues, not having enough time, or realizing that you’re lacking a particular resource, for example compost. So in this video, I’m going to show you the method that I use to turn challenges into opportunities that will benefit your garden for years to come.

    When I initially come across a challenge in the garden, it usually goes one of two ways. It’s either an opportunity or it’s a bit of a hassle, and I’ll give you a prime example of a hassle and a challenge. And these beds are nearly 20 years old, and you can see that they are falling apart and need replacing this winter. And initially, I just see this as a hassle. But I always challenge myself to see what opportunity can come even if at first there’s a lot of negative feelings.

And whether a challenge is a hassle or an opportunity, I use the same method to create a plan and to bring clarity and purpose to overcoming that particular challenge. The method consists of three key parts which are to recognise, research, and then respond. So I’ve recognised that I need to solve the issue with these broken raised beds. Then I need to research, and this is where I will find a solution and potentially opportunities that can come from solving this solution.

  And the third is to simply respond.

This method provides you with a great template to create a solid plan to overcome that challenge and make it feel a whole lot more achievable. The first step is simple, and that’s to recognise that you face a challenge. And this usually happens when you hit a barrier or you become frustrated. I can remember back in 2018 during the summer when we had that terrible drought, I faced a real barrier which was running out of water and not having enough water for our seedlings.

  With running out of water, I needed to find a low-cost solution to make sure that the same thing wouldn’t happen in future years and I’d have water for the seedlings.

And when you are faced with a challenge that’s a bit of a hassle or is kind of a negative one like running out of water, it’s really easy to try and solve it and approach it there and then. But this is where mistakes can happen that can be more costly both in terms of time, money, and effort later on down the line. So it’s vital that you step back and give yourself a bit of time to research to find a solution and to bring clarity to what needs to be done so this will minimise potential mistakes and maximise the potential opportunity that comes from solving that challenge.

  The first thing you want to do is get yourself your notepad and just make a note of the challenge that you’re facing. However, this isn’t usually necessary because with me if I have a gardening challenge, it’s always there looming in the back of my mind.

And then go make yourself a tea or coffee, and find a nice space to sit down, and get a blank bit of paper. And what you want to do is write the challenge in the middle of the bit of paper. So you have your challenge in the middle of the paper, and now you want to just do a bit of a brain dump and a bit of a brainstorm. So just ask all of the questions that you have related to the challenge.

  What kind of budget if you need to buy anything do you have for it?

What are the questions that you have unanswered that you want to find out? And what potential opportunities and also drawbacks as a result? You can use this bit of paper to then influence the research that you do. You now want to use free resources to help you find a solution and to answer all of the questions that you have regarding solving the issue of the challenge or the potential opportunity and the best way of going about. Now things like books that you have, gardening books are a great place to look at.

Also the internet, that’s a wonderful place. But if I was to recommend one resource, it would be other gardeners in your area. There is nothing more powerful than the knowledge of gardeners in the same climate as you who have probably or are perhaps experiencing the same kind of challenges that you do.

  And it’s great to just ask for their advice, or their recommendations, or they may give you almost a different way of thinking or looking at that potential challenge. And you want to end up with at least three potential solutions, preferably a couple more, and then whittle them down to the one that makes the most sense to you.

Let’s look at the drought example. The first thing that I explored was the potential of getting some more big tanks like this. However, it’s pretty difficult to carry big things like this down our driveway. So I looked to other solutions such as bladder packs for example. And then I remember speaking to Liz and going and seeing her garden, and she had IBC tanks.

And then I did a bit of research, and I saw that these were a really affordable solution so long as there weren’t any harmful chemicals in them before. And that’s exactly what I did. I bought six IBC tanks for the fraction of the price of what the equivalent water tank would cost. And it’s always a really good idea if you do feel that you have the golden solution to just sleep on it for a night and to come back the next day because often you need to give your brain a little bit of time to process, and that will just draw out any final questions or worries you might have about that solution.

  Once you’ve agreed on that one main solution that you want to go for, it’s time for the most important step of the whole process.

And that is to put it down in a clear and concise manner to act as your blueprint as you respond to that challenge. So what you need to do is get yourself a blank piece of paper. And on this, you’re firstly gonna write out what the challenge is. And then you’re gonna have one to two paragraphs detailing what the solution is that you’ve decided to overcome and solve the challenge or the potential problem. And then after you’ve done that, you’re just going to write down what the outcome is.

So just have a bit of a think about how you’ll feel once the challenge is completed and what kind of benefits you’ll get.

  And here’s an example of what I did of the blueprint that I wrote for the drought issue and how I was looking at overcoming that challenge. Challenge, our water supplies could dry out again if we have another severe drought, and I don’t have enough water storage to keep seedlings going for at least two months. The solution, I need to purchase six used IBC tanks for the equivalent water storage capacity of 6,000 liters of water or 600 full watering cans. The tanks must only have contained safe material beforehand, and I will not take a risk in purchasing contaminated tanks.

The tanks will be placed at the north end of the new garden and supported on top of heat-treated pallets to allow space to fit watching can underneath. And I will need to buy a tap that will fit the thread size of the IBC tanks. The tanks will be filled from one inlet that carries water from the stream on the other side of the parking area. (water trickles) I’ll use a small pipe to attach each IBC tank.

  Once the first tank is full, the connection pipe will start filling the second and so on.

This needs to be completed by February to not interfere with spring sowings and to be filled with water and ready for action as and when needed. And then the outcome. Once completed, I will have storage capacity of 6,000 liters of water ready for action in case of a drought. And I will feel far less stressed when dry weather does stay around longer than usual. So from this example, you can see that I’ve got all of the basics covered for what needs to be done, and the important thing is to keep it concise.

So it’s an easy reference point as you’re doing the challenge or looking for products that you might need to just quickly go back, have a quick glance at the page, and then you can carry on with the project. And you can add in a bit more detail if you want underneath. But the important thing is just have a bite-size blueprint and plan.

  And finally, it’s vital that you add a target date because you don’t want to kind of not have a target date and keep pushing it back. And suddenly you’re left with a big buildup of challenges that all need to be solved around the same time.

Once you’ve completed your plan, it’s time to respond, and put everything into action, and complete what’s needed to overcome that certain challenge. So I’ve got five IBC tanks here for 5,000 liters, and there’s another IBC tank in the garden. Now just a couple of tips. Firstly, if you’re doing it and it involves a lot of materials, and a lot of moving, and perhaps heavier things, then it’s always worth getting someone else involved.

  The extra pair of hands and someone to talk to as you’re doing it makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Now if you’re doing it by yourself, one of the simplest things you can do is to look at the big project and then create a very simple to do list of lots of small, manageable, bite-sized tasks. And then you can just cross them out as you go along, and that’ll be the motivation to push you forward in terms of completing it. Now if you go into the video description and have a quick look, I’ve included two other blueprints that I’ve created for other gardening challenges.

  So you can use those as well as this video of recognise, research and then respond to help create a really solid template for whenever you come across challenges in the garden. And if you enjoyed this type of content which is looking more towards being more efficient, and productive, and time management, then you’ll really loved my course More Food, Less Effort.

It’s an online course designed around how to make you a more efficient gardener. So if you want to check it out, head to morefoodlesseffort.com.

  And in the meantime, I will see you again next week, goodbye..

Shortwave Radiogram, 23-25 November 2018: In its 80 years, Radio Tirana never tried these digital modes

We had fun last weekend with the waterfall spectrogram of the Arecibo message to outer space. You can access some video examples here. This weekend, Merkouris, who created Arecibo waterfall graphic, will tell us, by way of MFSK64  text, how these spectrograms are created. That will be followed by another graphic representing a famous landmark in Thessaloniki, Greece. My favorite activity on Shortwave Radiogram is to achieve a good text decode despite difficult conditions. Last Saturday, I was able to decode most of the Olivia 64-2000 from Bulgaria, using an SDR in Alberta, despite a barely audible signal. However, I am having much less luck decoding the same 64-2000 from my .wav recording of that same reception. Videos of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 74) are provided by Scott in Ontario (Friday 2030-2100) and Ralf in Germany (Saturday 1400-1430 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is prepared by Roger in Germany. This weekend, MFSK32 and MFSK64 only, with seven images and the  waterfall graphic. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 75, 23-25 November 2018, in MFSK modes as noted:   1:40  MFSK32: Program preview   2:52  Redefinition of kilogram and other international units*   8:23  MFSK64: 80th anniversary of Radio Tirana* 12:23  How are waterfall spectrograms created?** 18:01  This week's images* 27:19  MFSK32: Closing announcements * with image(s) ** followed by spectrogram Please send reception reports to radiogram@verizon.net And visit http://swradiogram.net Twitter: @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram (visit during the weekend to see listeners' results) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304
