SUF Lodge #1
(Heart's Content)
The SUF Lodge #1 in Heart's Content was built by the original Society of United Fishermen, a society founded in 1862 by Rev. George Gardener, a Church of England clergyman.
In 1868 Gardner designed the structure and members of the fraternal association worked on the construction. By January 1869, they had finished enough of the building to hold their annual meeting there. Other locals adopted the basic design of the building as the association spread throughout Newfoundland and into Nova Scotia.
The one-storeyed structure had a gabled roof with decorative verge board and neo-Gothic windows in the entrance. The main room has a balcony and grooved ceiling shaped to resemble an upturned boat. Attached to the main chamber is a vestibule. The structure also had a "bread loft," which has since been closed.
The end wall has a triangular window that represents the symbol of the society. The triangular shape was chosen to represent Newfoundland's approximate shape, with Cape Bauld, Cape Race and Cape Ray being the points of the triangle. Within the triangle appears the Maltese Cross, with the junction of four spears forming eight points, symbolically representing the eight Beatitudes, which members are taught to learn and observe. The motto adopted for the Society was Love, Purity and Fidelity, represented by the colours red, white and blue respectively.
The Heart's Content Fisherman's Society began to expand its membership outside the community and into other outports on the south side of Trinity Bay. The expansion of the society was reflected in the association becoming the Society of United Fishermen (SUF) in 1873. The SUF is the only fraternal organisation of its kind to have its roots in Newfoundland.
By the 1920s, the society was firmly established in many areas of Newfoundland and was expanding into Nova Scotia. In 1928, the SUF extended its membership when they formed the first Ladies Auxiliary in St. John's. Slowly, other branches began to develop auxiliary branches as well. The fraternal organisation provided fellowship and established a mutual support system for its members at a time when there were few services available to fishermen and their families.
The SUF Lodge in Heart's Content has served the needs of the association and the community since its construction. It has been used as a circuit court, and it continues to be used for community events such as baby and wedding showers and public gatherings.
There have been many changes to the lodge in Heart's Content over the years. The gabled roof was replaced with a mansard roof, the original windows were replaced, the doors moved, the ceiling lowered, and the bread loft closed. The building has also had other renovations associated with the modernization of old buildings, such as the addition of light fixtures and a furnace room.
Despite these changes the structure has retained its historical significance and character, and became a Registered Heritage Structure in September 1993. A subsequent $10,000 restoration grant in conjunction with volunteer labour, restored the windows to their original shape and placed the door into its original position. The mansard roof remained, but with a new set of shingles.
The SUF Lodge also received a Manning Award from the Newfoundland Historic Parks Association.

Reliability, multi-state failures and survivability of spacecraft and space-based networks
Castet, Jean-François
MetadataShow full item record
Spacecraft fulfill a myriad of critical functions on orbit, from defense and intelligence to science, navigation, and telecommunication. Spacecraft can also cost several hundred millions of dollars to design and launch, and given that physical access for maintenance remains difficult if not impossible to date, designing high reliability and survivability into these systems is an engineering and financial imperative. While reliability is recognized as an essential attribute for spacecraft, little analysis has been done pertaining to actual field reliability of spacecraft and their subsystems. This thesis consists of two parts. The first part fills the gap in the current understanding of spacecraft failure behavior on orbit through extensive statistical analysis and modeling of anomaly and failure data of Earth-orbiting spacecraft. The second part builds on these results to develop a novel theoretical basis (interdependent multi-layer network approach) and algorithmic tools for the analysis of survivability of spacecraft and space-based networks. Space-based networks (SBNs) allow the sharing of on-orbit resources, such as data storage, processing, and downlink. Results indicate and quantify the incremental survivability improvement of the SBN over the traditional monolith architecture. A trade-space analysis is then conducted using non-descriptive networkable subsystems/technologies to explore survivability characteristics of space-based networks and help guide design choices.

Happy Hearts is only a day away! Where are you celebrating? Ironically, T and I don't have plans but throughout the week, I rounded up a couple of restaurants we've been to before so you guys can have a couple of choices for Valentine's Day (including the ones I suggested last year):
The Old Vine
Beurre Blanc
Sonya's Garden
I was about to close my 'Valentines Series' when I remembered L'Incontro Ristorante Italiano! I first saw this restaurant when I enrolled in Alliance Francaise de Manille but never really got to go there during my French school days. And then just last December, my friends and I randomly picked this place to have our annual Christmas dinner.
|Front of the restaurant.
From the outside, the Italian restaurant didn't seem like anything, with the dark exterior and simple roof tents, but as soon as you enter, you'll be fazed.
|Not your usual chandelier.
As soon as we sat down, our server gave us a bread basket and 3 different spreads. I'm not sure what they were called but one was tomato-based, another one was pesto and the last one was some kind of pate. The food took a long time so T and I had 2 basket refills.
|For our bread.
For starters, T and I had the Crema Di Squash E Burro Zuppe (P265). It was good but my favorite would still have to be Cibo's version.
|Squash soup.
For the main course, T ordered the Rib Eye Chargrilled Steak which was Wisconsin Beef 100% USDA certified and graded (P3,955). Why so expensive? It's because the steak was aged for 15 days.
|The P3,995 steak.
Other dishes on the Italian Grill are the Grilled Aragosta Lobster (P310/100g) with truffle butter, rock sea salt and lemon and Veal Chop (P1,450). All items from the Italian Grill are served on the board with rosemary and baked potatoes, onion gratin, and fresh greens tossed in aged balsamico. I want to try the lobster next time.
|T enjoying his 15-day steak.
On my end, I got the Salmon and Almond Mascarpone with spinach mashed potatoes (P695). It was really tasty. I'd recommend getting this.
|First time I've tried spinach mashed potatoes.
For dessert, T and I got the Panna Cotta (P210) and the Crepe Flambee (P250) to share. My friends got the Dessert Pizza (P300) which is a pancake-like dessert with Nutella, fresh strawberries and mascarpone. It looked delish but my friends said it wasn't anything great. I'm more interested in the Formaggio En Fruit (P1,150), which is a caramelized brie wheel, gorgonzola with honey, walnuts, provolone and grapes, I saw on the menu. Maybe during our next visit.
|Panna Cotta.
|Crepe Flambee.
For Valentines, L'Incontro Ristorante Italiano probably has a set menu. Better call to be sure. I'll post their contact details below. Happy Valentines everyone! Tell me if you got to go to any of the restaurants I suggested. Enjoy!

It is rare that a summit between two countries is held twice in the same year. Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's visit to Beijing came only about five months since their meeting in New Delhi in May this year. What were the compelling circumstances that might have driven Dr. Singh to proceed for another summit? It can be easily perceived that the visit was driven by domestic political factors and his desire to further engage the new political leadership of China. He wanted to have a last shot at improving relations with Pakistan and China before he retires from politics as the case seems to be when India goes for general elections in 2014. He also advanced his summit with Russia that was due in end November or early December. The only possible regional and international context could be that the Emperor of Japan would be visiting India in end November (a very significant visit since it is not common for the Emperor to undertake such visits) and therefore the visit to Beijing, most likely the last one, could also be interpreted as a kind of balancing exercise. It also needs to be remembered that Dr Singh had also a meeting with US President Barack Obama in end September and some of the agreements concluded with Washington especially on defence cooperation may have caused consternation among the Chinese leadership.
The Joint Statements issued at the end of summits are also, in some ways, a good barometer of what transpired during the meeting. What is included in the joint statement could be as important or even more significant as what is left out. This time the joint statement was somewhat pithy compared to the previous one in May. While the May summit covered a broad expanse of the issues, this time it was largely restricted to bilateral issues with limited reference to the regional and international issues. But more than the joint statement, it was Manmohan Singh's address at the Central Party School in Beijing that underlined the philosophical underpinnings behind mutual Sino-Indian engagement. However, that does not mean that there were no practical considerations for his visit. With an eye on coming elections, Singh was more keen to address some of the contentious bilateral issues like maintaining peace and tranquillity along the LAC, stapled visas, sharing of river waters, and concerns about the ever increasing trade imbalance with China.
From the Indian perspective, the single most important achievement of the visit has been the signing of Border Development Cooperation Agreement (BDCA). There are some thinkers of the conservative school of thought who feel that there are many ambiguities in some of the clauses of BDCA agreement and how will this agreement be of any practical use when the previous agreements of 1993, 1996 and even 2005 have not been able to maintain peace and tranquillity along the LAC. On the other hand, largely the official perspective is that it is a satisfactory agreement and it would be conducive to avoiding incidents between Indian and Chinese armed forces along the border/LAC. It is also being said that the BDCA was signed despite the opposition to it by some quarters of the PLA which is being perceived as becoming somewhat more assertive in the current power configuration in China.
Holding of the much stalled joint counter terrorism exercise between both the militaries in November is another positive step towards building mutual confidence. Regular defence exchanges would also promote military to military relationship.
Other than the BDCA, India could not get much satisfaction from China on remaining issues. Though the MOU on Strengthening Cooperation on Trans-Border Rivers was signed yet it does not really address Indian concerns regarding building of dams on the upper reaches of Brahmaputra/Yarlung Tsangpo River. Yes, the only saving grace was that period of flow of rivers on which hydrological data would be shared has been expanded. Another point on which India can draw limited succour from the MOU is that both sides agreed to 'exchange views on other issues of mutual interest'. Further, there is recognition by China that 'trans-border rivers and related natural resources and the environment are assets of immense value to the socio-economic development of all riparian countries'. But so far China has not concluded any agreement with any down-stream nation whether in South East Asia mainland or Central Asian Republics on sharing of river waters. There is a general belief that China is unlikely enter into any river waters sharing agreement with India or for that matter any other country any time soon.
A sore point with India has been the issue of stapled visas to its citizens hailing from Arunachal Pradesh. Raking up of this controversy just before Dr. Singh's visit also prevented India from reaching an accord with China over liberalised visa regime for Chinese citizens visiting India. Given the past and current trajectory of connected events and issues, there is a general understanding that China is unlikely to change its stance. A measure like disallowing liberal visas to Chinese is unlikely to affect China in any substantial way. However, as a riposte the much ritualised mention of Tibet as part of China or what is referred to as 'One China policy' has been absent from the joint statement this time like it was in the May Summit and earlier summits of 2011 and 2010. Though such an omission does not mean that India has fundamentally changed its policy yet the perception is that this could be used as an indirect pressure point.
Also, not much headway was made with China on India's concerns about rising trade imbalance with Beijing. India has been looking for some major investments by China in India's infrastructure sector and more access to Indian IT and pharmaceutical sectors exports to Beijing. However, the forthcoming India-China Strategic Economic Dialogue in November/December 2013 is expected to go into the connected issues and promote a balanced growth of trade through 'specific projects and initiatives'.
Further, the burgeoning trade deficit with China also moves India to look at China's proposal for a bilateral Regional Trade Arrangement (RTA) very critically as under the current circumstances it is unlikely to benefit India. Similarly, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is also being viewed as another version of RTA by India though eventually it may join the grouping after some tough negotiations. Another emerging economic grouping in Asia-Pacific is the American-led Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) which is being offered as alternative or in addition to RCEP. However, some of the clauses of TPP are very stringent and thus it may not be viewed by developing economies like India as growth friendly.
The question of establishing a BCIM (Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar) Economic Corridor was for the first time discussed in the May 2013. In the earlier years, it was a Track II initiative that did not gain much traction. India has concerns about both security and economic issues as the proposed corridor would pass through some of the sensitive North Eastern states of India. Such a corridor is not expected to be realised in a hurry though the economic benefits especially to Manipur and south Assam may outweigh any perceived security concerns.
The regional issues, especially the evolving situation in Afghanistan was absent from the joint statement this time while in the last summit two paras of the joint statement were devoted to the same. The joint dialogue between China and India on Afghanistan was for the first time started this year with meetings of high level officials and further discussed during the May 2013 summit. Though India and China share many concerns about post-2014 Afghan scenario yet that does not mean that China has stopped looking at Afghanistan through Pakistan's prism. As mentioned earlier, India hopes to moderate Pakistan's approach to Afghanistan through its engagement with China. And China is also taking a broader perspective on the evolving scenario in Afghanistan and is engaging many regional powers and Afghanistan's neighbours for ushering in peace and stability in the war-torn country.
Overall, Singh's visit could be said to be moderately successful. The visit was perhaps designed to convey a larger political message that without peace along the borders there would be no end to turbulent relationship between the two nations and the prospects of an Asian Century would remain elusive. Therefore, the Prime Minister's remarks at the Central Party School need to be studied with the above aspects in mind.

Heartbreaking to see East African kids hungry
Watching straving kids in East Africa on world news is heartbreaking. Hope more governments, inter'-governmental agencies and also non'-governmental organisations' could help them' speedily and generously. Saving a life in a situation like this is, as an old Chinese saying goes, better than building a seven'-storey pagoda ('for glorifying deity/ies').

Why Would I Want To Do This?
One of the biggest challenges I had when I first moved to Mac was accidentally pressing my caps lock key which I really never want to purposely do. I'm not sure if it's the keyboard layout or what but I hated finding it activated and then needing to revert it back and redo my typing. I decided that since I don't ever want to type in all caps that I would be much happier if the key just didn't do anything at all. If you find yourself accidentally hitting the caps lock here is how you can do the same.
Note: While I don't encourage people to modify computers that aren't their own, feel free to do this for any friends or family who send you items in all caps. We'll all thank you later.
Open System Preferences From Your Dock
Your Mac probably came with System Preferences in your dock – just click to get it open.
Or From Your Applications Folder
If you keep your Dock clean like me you may have removed it. It should still be in your Application Folder. (Note – your other apps will be different than what you see here)
Locate and Click On The Keyboard Preferences
Apple does a pretty good job of making your preferences easy to find so the setting we are looking for would be in the Keyboard area.
Click To Access Modifier Keys
OK, maybe they don't always make it easy. The option we are looking for is available by clicking on the Modifier Keys button.
Override the Default Setting
The top option we see here dictates the behavior of the Caps Lock Key. Go ahead and click on the option to see your other choices.
Select the No Action Option
I like to have the button just do nothing so I choose No Action. You can set it to mimic another button but that would be weird so don't do it.
Click OK
Save your changes by clicking the OK button.
Be Done
Two choices here:
- Click the Red Exit button to close out of your preferences and enjoy your new and much happier caps lock free life.
- If you are feeling brave click the Show All and look through some of your other System Preference Options. You have a lot of choices available to make your Mac more personal and work like you want it to.

'Sea island Series: 1991-1992' and 'Reinterpreting the Sound of Blackness' Exhibition Openings
Jepson Center for the Arts
Opens Thurs., Jan. 18
SIX PORTRAITS of African Americans dot the walls of the Jepson's Kane Gallery.
"These are very problematic and complicated images," sighs Rachel Reese, associate curator of modern and contemporary art.
Reese shares the story of Louis Agassiz, the Swiss-American anthropologist who commissioned photographer J.T. Zealy to create daguerreotypes of enslaved African Americans in Columbia, S.C. in 1850.
The photos were part of an anthropological case study that would help Agassiz prove the races were separate—and that African Americans were inferior.
"It's called scientific racism—it is racism—but it's proven through the sciences," Reese explains. "These daguerreotypes are some of the earliest and only photographs of enslaved people in the South. These are slaves before emancipation."
In the late 1980s, acclaimed artist Carrie Mae Weems discovered the daguerreotypes in a collection at Harvard and photographed them in an act of reclamation. She reprinted them with an indigo hue to reference the cash crop indigo and cut them into circles, referencing the camera lens.
By photographing the daguerreotypes years later, Weems restores power, agency, and dignity to the subjects. That, in essence, is what Weems' "Sea Island Series: 1991-1992" is all about.
"Her methodology over these years has been trying to give a voice to the underrepresented narrative—usually related to power structures or gender—and reclaiming it, rewriting it, re-photographing them, and giving them power," explains Reese.
During her studies at UC San Diego, Weems started thinking of folklore as a direct method of communication.
"She became interested in looking for her African roots and discovered the Gullah culture and communities off the Sea Islands of Georgia and South Carolina," says Reese. "This series is an intimate look at place and people of place. It's not a straightforward documentary approach—her artistic sensibility is evident."
Created between 1991 and 1992, "Sea Island Series" dives into the world of the Gullah-Geechee. The Gullah people are the descendants of enslaved Africans who settled in the Lowcountry after being brought to the United States in the slave trade. The culture has their own language and a rich culture that is often considered the most African of the American cultures.
The exhibition blends Weems' photographs of the Lowcountry, panels of Gullah folklore, and ceramic plates with text and is supplemented with informational panels about the Gullah culture.
"We are here in the Lowcountry, and we've done a lot of work and have a lot of interpretive material about who are the Gullah-Geechee, what is their history, and what issues are they facing today," says Reese, "not only as a long trajectory but from the 26 years since she took these photographs. What's been happening from 1992 to 2018?"
Reese and her curatorial team interviewed Gullah natives and descendants and included their quotes in the exhibition to show that Gullah culture is still thriving.
The series doesn't gloss over the dark portions of African-American history, instead confronting them head-on. One panel tells the story of Ebo Landing on St. Simon's Island, where a ship of West Africans was brought to Dunbar Creek to be sold into slavery.
"Legend is they spoke a specific language together and amongst themselves decided it'd be better to commit suicide and drown than become slaves and step onto the shore," Reese shares.
"They stepped out of the boat and went into the water. The white Europeans didn't understand their language and didn't know what they were doing, and they all drowned. It's a very powerful legend that touches on the importance of water in the Gullah culture, and its touchpoint to West Africa. There's a lot of belief systems that talk about returning to the homeland through the water, being buried near the water. It's been discussed that water has been able to help retain the culture so well, the seeming isolation of the island."
While planning the exhibition, Reese reached out to experts who could help her better tell the story of the Gullah people.
"It's not just me," she asserts. "This exhibition involved a lot of research and feedback, not just people in the Gullah community that have been essential to this exhibition because we wanted to do it right, but also from other historians and interpreters to make sure we are using the right language when we talk about a certain people, a certain history."
"Sea Island Series" is presented concurrently with Paul Stephen Benjamin's "Reinterpreting the Sound of Blackness," both opening Jan. 26. (Benjamin's exhibition will be featured next issue.)
"They're both celebrating how African American history is integral to American history collectively. They are saying unabashedly, 'Look at this from historic antecedents and then look at how it plays out in Paul's work through pop culture and mass media,'" explains Reese.
"You've gotta come through Paul's show to come to [Carrie's] show, so you'll get the feeling you've entered a different space.
"What [Weems] is doing is saying that African-American history is really complex, and it's something to be celebrated."

Batavia schools considering more staff, building work
The Batavia school board is considering speeding up its school fix-it list and adding the equivalent of 11 full-time workers with the additional property tax the district is collecting from the Chicago Premium Outlet Mall in Aurora.
The board's finance committee reviewed a proposal from administrators Tuesday afternoon, and the full board was due to discuss it Tuesday night. The projects are proposed for the 2014-15 fiscal year, which starts July 1.
The first proposal calls for $1.5 million of capital projects, including replacing the outdoor track at Batavia High School for $170,000.
The staffing proposal calls for adding two assistant principals at the elementary-school level, teachers at the middle school to reduce class sizes, and several other positions. The estimated cost is $750,000.
This is the first calendar year that the district will receive the full benefit of the increased value of the outlet mall, and several industrial properties nearby, after the tax increment financing district they were in expired in 2012.
Officials expect the land to add as much as $7 million to the district's account.
The board will vote on the proposals in March. Then the district would hire architects to draw up formal plans for the capital projects and bids would be sought.
Kris Monn, the district's assistant superintendent for business, cautioned that other factors may affect what the district can do, especially the negotiation of new contracts for teachers and support workers. The district also is awaiting a final report on a state-mandated life-safety inspection. The proposed list includes about $300,000 of life-safety work.
Board members Jon Gaspar and Melanie Impastato wondered if the track should be replaced now, because the district's overall capital improvement plan calls for adding an eighth lane to it.
Patrick Browne, buildings and grounds director, said adding an eighth lane can't be done without moving the main grandstand back, and moving that back involves removing a maintenance building. If and when that is done, the eighth lane can be added without tearing up the rest of the track. In the meantime, the track presents tripping hazards.
The district is looking for another place to have a maintenance building, including leasing space in an industrial park. The current building on West Wilson Street needs about $129,000 of plumbing and fire-safety work, including installing fire-suppression and fire alarm systems and removing combustible foam from beneath the roof deck and trusses.
"The track and the maintenance shed (fixes) are Band-Aids," Superintendent Lisa Hichens said.
The committee also discussed a proposal to replace the football field turf with artificial turf. Doing so is in the district's Comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan. The committee's consensus, suggested by board President Cathy Dremel, was that private donations should be sought to pay some of the cost, and the district should not borrow money for it.
"I personally would not back any borrowing of public funds for this," she said.
The district has not gotten an estimate for a natural-turf field. When the Geneva school district installed an artificial-turf field several years ago, the price was nearly double that of a natural field.

What are some of the new program changes?
Due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, this winter/spring, we will continue to offer a modified Driver Z program that includes virtual classes, in place of a physical classroom, via the Webex meeting platform. The program includes ten, two hour weekly sessions and includes in-car lessons with additional safety protocols, when permitted by public health orders.
- Students and parents/co-pilots must attend the Kick-off virtually, which is held on the first online class session.
- Students must provide an email address when they register so they can access the online application and receive course-relevant communication, including email invitations to the virtual class sessions.
- Students must complete online learning prior to their first virtual class lesson.
When does registration for the upcoming term begin?
Registration for the winter/spring 2021 term will begin on February 22, 2021 and will continue with staggered registration.
Courses for the winter/spring 2021 term are available on Course Finder now.
As students will not be physically attending Driver Z classes, knowledge tests and vision screening will be performed at a designated location.
Where can students go for information?
- Course Information: mpi.mb.ca under Driver Education Driver Z Course Finder
- Driver Z Program Information: mpi.mb.ca under Driver Education MPI's Driver Z Program
Where do students go to pay and register?
Students can pay and register for courses at any Autopac agent or Manitoba Public Insurance Service Centre.
Will students be given priority to register for Driver Z courses at their own school?
As the course is virtual students will be allowed to attend a virtual course that is not necessarily based out the school they attend. To facilitate in-car lessons students will only be allowed to register in courses within a closer geographical area to where they attend high school.
How do students and co-pilots access the online learning?
Once students have registered, they will receive an email with instructions and an email invite to the virtual course closer to their course start date. They will be required to do the following:
- Log in to Driver Z online to set up their account.
- Complete Zone 1 (activities 1-29) before Kick-off. This takes approximately 12 hours to complete.
- Invite at least one co-pilot (and up to eight) through Driver Z online.
- Co-pilots will also be required to log on and complete Zone 1 (activities 1-6) to be able to support the student and ensure all necessary tasks are finished to complete the program. This takes approximately two to three hours to complete.
- Access the virtual classroom via a link in the email invite 10 minutes prior to the start of the class.
It is important that students and co-pilots have separate email addresses to ensure they receive the appropriate emails for their role.

Digital Media Finland's Jari Muikku was head writer of the examine and he defined the variations between the 2 fashions, saying that a user-centric model would assist artists immediately. Designed to assist artists and their groups get essentially the most out of Spotify. Mikko von Hertzen, who sings and performs guitar within the widespread rock band the Von Hertzen Brothers, says he thinks the way in which Spotify and other streaming services pay artists for their compositions and performances is murky.
Many craft artists also use high quality-artwork strategies—for example, painting, sketching, and printing—to add finishing touches to their products. 1. Artist, artisan, artiste are persons having superior ability or potential, or who're capable of producing superior work. Spotify for Artists gave me the courage to tour Latin America.

I have been pondering this all day. Desi has a pretty serious issue with things in her world not being A-OK, all the time. I mean even little things that are not right. She feels the need to set things right and will obsessively text someone until she gets the answer she wants to hear.
I have been wondering, "how can I help her?"
She is pushing friends away with her demanding behavior at times. I don't want to see her friendless. She doesn't have any friend who has really stuck with her in life. They all come in for a season and drop out after a while. Often I have seen why.
I try to help my daughter to go slow, to learn how to relax and trust God with things. It appears to me that this is honestly a "Can't, not won't" issue.
There is an issue going on right now with a boy that she is dating , she is terribly unhappy about it, and will be until it is settled. She can't let it go. It is the one thing on her mind.
She is texting him constantly to try and get him to resolve it and he isn't responding back. Is this going to be another loss for her? I am trying to trust God about it all myself. I want her with the right person in her life. That person needs to be someone who can handle her demanding issues.
Back when she used to go into rages, she would rage in my face, trying to get me to agree with her, or give her the answer she wanted to hear. I couldn't do that, for one, it would have made rages happen more and two, I wanted her to mature and realize that she couldn't get her way every minute. If I gave it all to her the way she demanded, she would never mature. She has matured some now. She has managed to get some control over her raging. I also have learned not to push her, or argue with her when she is in that mood. I walk away and let her calm down.
Anyway in today's pondering, I think I have some clues that are linked to her FASD, her brain injury, as to why she gets this way.
Deserai is a concrete thinker. She cannot solve problems very well in general because she can't use abstract thinking. So her problem solving abilities are low. Often I have to solve things for her that she can't figure out. She will always say, Wow that is a great idea. She couldn't come up with it herself though, because it takes abstract thinking to solve problems. That is often why these kids can't do well in math.
So when she sees a problem, but can't figure out many solutions to it, she demands that someone else, an exterior brain, resolves it for her. She feels helpless, overwhelmed until someone finds a solution.
Desi lives in the moment. Often folks with FASD do not have good concept of time. So they don't think into the future. Right this moment she is hurting and someone has to take that pain away. She can't imagine that it can be resolved and fixed in time, so she gets demanding that someone fix it now!
She doesn't remember what happened the last time she did this to someone. Her memory is impaired. She has had the consequence of loosing a friend, but she doesn't bring that to the forefront of her memory when she is acting now.
She is insecure and frustrated often anyway, as a brain injury keeps her from feeling full confidence in her life about most every thing.
Her life feels very unsafe and scary when something is wrong. She wants to make it all right and safe, NOW.
She has no ability to wait for gratification, which is what young children are about and her maturity level is much lower then her 18 years of age.
So when a problem presents itself in a relationship, Desi will text and push that person to fix the issue, until often she pushes the person out of her life.
This makes me sad as I don't want her to be lonely, as the greatest need that my daughter has is for a social life and friends. The thing that she needs the very most, seems the farthest from her reach, because of her actions.
I have prayed that God would send her friends that are as needy as she is, so that they would need her as much as she needs them. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. 🙂
Lord you know what is best for my daughter. Please send her lots of friends and ones that fit with who she is and will stick by her.
Thank you Lord!

Different but good blog tour--Pride and Prejudice
The DIFFERENT BUT GOOD Blog Tour
ends here...better late than never!
After a last-minute writing deadline that fell into my lap,
I wasn't able to get my post finished when I was supposed to,
but I'm back now and ready to talk remakes!
Need I say more?
Speaking of Mr. Darcy, evidently Helen Fielding thought Colin Firth was the one and only Mr. Darcy as well, because she insisted he play the part of Mark Fitzwilliam Darcy in the movie version of her novel, Bridget Jones's Diary. Throw in Hugh Grant, and a girl doesn't know who to root for. Of course Bridget Jones isn't an exact retelling of P&P, but all the elements are there. You've got Elizabeth and Darcy (Bridget and Mark), the scoundrel Wickham (Daniel Cleaver), Mr. and Mrs. Bennett (Bridget's parents, although you could argue that Bridget's mom also plays the role of Lydia, getting mixed up with that sleazy salesman guy), and the Bennett sisters (who are portrayed as Bridget's friends--which you could call her urban family). You've got a headstrong female lead who probably should think about settling down, but hasn't found Mr. Right yet. You've got uptight Mr. Darcy, who was painted badly to Elizabeth/Bridget by Wickham/Daniel's lies. And of course you have the bristly but heart-wrenchingly real love affair between Elizabeth/Bridget and Darcy.
For me, it doesn't get much better than Bridget Jones, books or movies. I just watched the 3rd one, and it was delightful.
And then you've got Pride and Prejudice AND ZOMBIES, because...why not? This version follows P&P well enough, of course veering off to do the whole zombie thing. It's fun because the female characters in it are true to their personalities in their personal lives, but when a zombie comes around, they go into full ass-kicker mode.
So, that's all for the DIFFERENT BUT GOOD Blog Hop!
Go back and visit all the other stops, if you haven't yet.
Thanks for hopping with us!

Shaft-type shredders are available in a variety of designs – single, double, three, and four-shaft variants, depending on the number of oars used for the process.
Another thing that companies should consider when looking for a waste disposal facility is energy efficiency.
Older machines used a large amount of electricity, so the electric bill was very high at that time. But recently, several energy-saving machines have been launched. They work better but use less energy.
You can also choose secure document destruction services in Perth.
The choice of a company that provides all the facilities necessary for the destruction of waste must be carried out with great care.
Image Source: Google
Machines that companies buy should offer them both long-term and economical waste disposal benefits.
There are several mobile shredders for which the requirement for a moving unit makes sense if the company has a very large amount of waste and wants to dispose of it as quickly as possible.
Waste disposal is carried out on-site and a highly trained team of experts usually does the job. Renting a mobile device is completely inexpensive and is the most desirable option when dealing with large amounts of waste.
When documents and paper are destroyed, they are recycled. This is the advantage of destroying documents. The shredded paper is then sent to a recycling facility in the form of household recycled paper which can be used for various purposes.

THE HSE CONFIRMED this week that the emergency department at St Columcille's hospital in Loughlinstown is to close at the end of the month.
From next month, a local injuries unit will treat minor injuries such as broken bones seven days a week from 8am to 6pm. However, emergency cases will be sent to St Vincent's hospital.
Critical service
Local Sinn Fein Councillor and chairperson of the campaign group Save of Services Wicklow (SOS Wicklow) John Brady said the A&E closure is a huge blow and a slap in the face for Wicklow people who depend on the critical service.
He said that St.Vincents hospital is already stretched to capacity, adding that "when the A&E in Loughlinstown is downgraded and people are forced to travel to St. Vincents the numbers lying on trolleys will simply increase and compound the problems experienced in that hospital, resulting in a reduction of patient care".
He added:
We have already lost Wicklow District Hospital based on a dubious report from HIQA. What the people in Wicklow want is a properly funded hospital they can have confidence in.
Imposing the 21,000 users of the essential medical facility on the already overwhelmed St. Vincent's Hospital simply will not work.
Public meeting
This is an issue that has been fought against for some years. In 2011, a public meeting was held by local community groups who wanted to prevent the closure of the emergency department.
Speaking at the meeting, Dún Laoghaire TD Richard Boyd Barrett said the proposal to cut the emergency service is a direct result of the EU/IMF deal who argued that the "reconfiguration" of hospitals like Roscommon and Loughlinstown was simply a euphemism for reform and cuts.
"As the government finds it more difficult to pay back these unsustainable debts there is an increased demand for privatisation. High on the list is the privatisation of the health service. There is absolutely no coincidence that as Loughlinstown is being downgraded the private Beacon Hospital has been built," he said.
Back in 2011, when the flag was first raised that the emergency department would be closing, Wicklow councillors said they had serious concerns for members of the public that would now have to travel from outer areas of Wicklow to St Vincent's Hospital for emergency treatment.
At a county council meeting, a real life scenario was raised by one councillor, in which it was said that if a man had a heart attack in Arklow, he will have to travel over 40 miles to St Vincent's Hospital, which according to the AA Route Map, will take at least one hour six minutes one way.
Councillor Pat Fitzgerald said that extra distance "could be fatal".
Councillor John Brady said he is calling on Wicklow's five TD's seem fight for the retention of the emergency department.

Campaigning group calls for 'charities tsar' to review policy making
Report by Legacy 10, founded by Roland Rudd of the PR firm RLM Finsbury, also says that people given honours for services to business should demonstrate their contribution to charity
The government should create a charities 'tsar' to review policy making on the sector across Whitehall departments, a new report by the campaigning group Legacy10 suggests.
In a report for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, called Removing Barriers to Legacy Giving, the campaigning charity makes 10 recommendations on how charitable giving could be increased.
Legacy10 – founded by Roland Rudd, chair of the public relations firm RLM Finsbury, and launched last year – campaigns to encourage people to leave money to charity in their wills. It ties in with the introduction of a 10 per cent reduction in the rate of inheritance tax for people who leave at least 10 per cent of their wealth to charity and is supported by famous people, including the entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, the artist Tracey Emin and the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.
The report says the tsar should be an independent, experienced and non-partisan person appointed by the Cabinet Office. It calls for a review to be published in summer 2013 looking at the duplications in the charity sector and suggesting new structures where appropriate.
An example of such duplications is Legacy10 and Remember A Charity, which, the report states, appear to pull in different directions while campaigning to increase legacy giving.
The report also calls for a shake-up of the honours system to ensure that those recognised in the field of business demonstrate their contribution to charity.
"Too many highly privileged people are honoured without providing any service to charity or philanthropy," the report says. It also calls for more honours, such as damehoods, knighthoods and CBEs, to be given for philanthropy.
The report calls for all three main political parties to commit to leaving the inheritance tax reduction for legacy giving in place until the end of the 2020 parliament and beyond.
It says the government and charities should create a free training programme for legacy fundraisers.
It also says that every registered charity in the UK should be required by the Charity Commission to provide evidence in its annual report of a legacy-giving strategy and the current income level from legacy, the report states.
Roland Rudd, founder and chairman of the charity, said: "We call on government to send a clear signal that legacies can provide long-term, sustainable sources of income for charities and the arts.
"One way to do this is to end the award of honours solely for services to business, and instead reward charitable and philanthropic behaviour. Our report also outlines many ways to improve skills in the sector, as our evidence shows that the British are great at giving money but less good at asking for it."
Maria Miller, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, is expected to respond to the report by the end of January.

Re/code is reporting that Amazon is getting ready to launch an Android-powered web TV box to compete with Roku and and Apple.
Sources tell Peter Kafka that Amazon "is aiming for a March rollout" of the set-top box, which was rumored to arrive last year in time for the holidays. Which it didn't. Certainly a box makes sense for Amazon, though, given the Instant Video service it offers its Prime members.
Previous reports have suggested that Amazon's streaming experience would be based on a forked Android OS possibly called Kindle TV, and Kafka's sources reaffirm that. If true, it would certainly seem sensible, given that Amazon already works with Android on the Kindle Fire.
But by March? Maybe, maybe not. We keep hearing of this rumor again and again, which either means that people are simply willing it to happen or that Amazon is just dragging its heels. We'll just have to wait see. [Re/code]

Name: Kerry
Born in: Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. A beautiful part of the world to which I still have a sentimental attachment, even though we moved away when I was six.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh. Don't tell anyone, but I failed my final year due to an excess of outside interests, and only just scraped the degree.
Lives in: Y Felinheli, a village half-way between Bangor and Caernarfon in the top left-hand corner of Wales, with the mountains of Snowdonia on one side and the Irish Sea on the other. Smug? No, not at all…
Languages: English and French. My school German has grown very rusty through disuse.
Areas of special expertise: I still have an interest in my degree subject, and though I grew a little disenchanted with AI through my studies computing remains the area where I have most specialist knowledge to offer. Ultimately though I translate whatever I'm sent: annual reports, tourist information, museum displays, marketing documents, industrial specifications, training materials, government documents et j'en passe.
Who are some clients you have worked for? Picking a few names more or less at random, Gefco, Groupe SEB, Société Générale, the French health, foreign affairs, environment and defence ministries, Accor, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, the Luxembourg City Film Festival, Alstom Transport, Renault Trucks, Peugeot-Citroën, Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Favorite thing about being a translator: The freedom and independence of working at home, being your own boss, setting your own hours and being able to work from anywhere are pretty hard to beat.
Least favorite thing about being a translator: Staying focused with all the tempting distractions of the Internet at your fingertips can be tough… and staring at a screen on your own for hours on end is not necessarily a recipe for total fulfillment.
What I like to do in my spare time: I love music, both listening and playing, especially with other people. I currently play bass and percussion in two bands. I am also a fan of photography.
Most exciting thing I've ever done: For sheer emotional intensity, nothing can top being present at the birth of my daughters.
Favorite place in the world: I mentioned a soft spot for West Yorkshire, and particularly the town of Hebden Bridge, where my earliest memories are located. I also loved living in Edinburgh, and more recently the Snowdonia valley between Waunfawr and Beddgelert has imprinted itself on my heart.
Favorite words in the languages you speak: Hmm, that's a tough one. How about some least favourite words? Off the top of my head, in French: transverse, métier, valoriser; in English: austerity, fracking, curated… plenty more where those came from.

The Royal Air Force Has Begun Its Latest NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission
In addition to supporting the NHS, and other Government departments during the current Covid-19 Pandemic, the Royal Air Force has begun deploying for their latest NATO Air Policing mission.
The RAF Wittering based 2 Mechanical Transport Squadron has begun the task of delivering vital equipment and spares to Lithuania where RAF jets will be based as part of the NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission this summer.
As well as contributing to the Government's COVID-19 Support Force, the Royal Air Force's commitments to the defence of the United Kingdom and NATO continue. One such commitment is the NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission, known by its military name as Operation Azotize.
2MT Squadron's drivers have been collecting equipment, spares and airfield support vehicles from RAF Stations across the country. The equipment and vehicles are then being prepared and delivered for onward shipment to Lithuania. By the time the jets arrive 2MT Squadron will have moved over 400 tonnes of equipment to Lithuania.
Flying Officer Lucy Heal from 2 MT Squadron Headquarters said:
"2 MT Squadron Ops have been busy co-ordinating a vast amount of critical equipment to be conveyed to the Sea Mounting Centre at Marchwood, Southampton and then moved to the air base once it gets to Lithuania."
Flying Officer Lucy Heal

Another of the RAF Wittering based A4 Force units that is deploying is, 5001 Squadron. The squadron is the ground engineering spearhead for the RAF and once in Lithuania, the deploying detachment will build an environmentally controlled storage shelter and ready the existing aircraft shelters for the Typhoons.
Flight Sergeant Leon Moxam the 5001 Squadron Detachment Commander said:
"Deploying the team in advance is crucial to provide the engineering support for the aircraft to operate effectively. I will be leading the team through a rapid build phase, which will then allow another dedicated section of our qualified Electrical and Mechanical Technicians to support the aircraft."

Legislature of Arkansas Territory Needs A Home
From its first meeting in Little Rock in the summer of 1821 until its last in 1836, the Legislature of Arkansas Territory occupied no home of its own. Instead, it carried out its business in a series of rented spaces.
Efforts to secure a permanent home for Arkansas's government began during the administration of territorial governor John Pope. After his appointment in 1829, Pope began a campaign to find funding for such a building, lobbying the US Congress for assistance.
In March 1831, Congress appropriated ten sections of public land, to be sold in order to fund a territorial courthouse or capitol. Congress left the details of selecting and selling these lands to the territorial legislature.
Quickly, former territorial secretary Robert Crittenden persuaded friends in the assembly to enact a measure giving Crittenden the ten sections of land in exchange for his Little Rock house, at time Little Rock's largest and most elegant dwelling.
Governor Pope vetoed the measure, however, recognizing that while the mansion would serve present purposes, a territorial courthouse should be built for the future: it should, in his words, "command the admiration and respect of the passing stranger" and have "a moral and political influence on the whole community."

Aging is what most people are afraid of. However, getting old is the fact of life that we cannot escape. No one can keep young forever. Aging will affect people's beauty, appearance, and health dramatically. Some people see the developments of wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots on their skin. The old is vulnerable to many health problems such as arthritis, heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, influenza, and pneumonia, falls, substance abuse, obesity, depression, and oral health problems. We may question which the powerful solutions are in order to help us fight against the aging process and improve our health as well as keep these diseases associated with aging at bay. Instead of using over-the-counter medications, supplements, or prescribed drugs, we have a lot of powerful anti-aging herbs that work dramatically.
Powerful Anti-Aging Herbs That Work – Effective Solutions For Everyone
Even you are getting old and want to find the best solutions that help you to improve your health and lower the risk of developing diseases or you are still young, these powerful anti-aging herbs are suitable and useful.
- Ginseng
Ginseng is one of the powerful anti aging herbs that you should know. Many studies have found out that fermented ginseng can give you numerous health benefits such as cancer prevention and anti-aging effects. In a 2003 study conducted by researchers at Korea's Seoul National University, 93 postmenopausal women who get diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance was divided into two groups. One group took fermented red ginseng while another group took a placebo for two weeks. After two weeks, the fermented ginseng group showed the increased levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), increased levels of growth hormone and estradiol, and decreased level of HbA1c. Moreover, the fermented ginseng group also had the better result of insulin resistance.
Ginseng is effective in fighting the effects of stress in your body; as a result, it will help to keep the depression at bay. The old need ginseng treatment or supplementation in order to heighten their physical and mental health. Ginseng has various effects, depending on the individual. Some people taking ginseng have the significant improvement in aging issues, immunity, while other may not have.
- Bilberry
Bilberry fruit is also called as huckleberry or whortleberry. This shrub originates from Europe, parts of Western Canada, northern Asia and the United States. Many people are often confused between bilberry and American blueberry. Therefore, this fruit has the colloquial name, the European blueberry. Rich in antioxidants, bilberry should not be skipped when we look for the natural anti-aging herbs that work. For the beauty, bilberry can fight against the early signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and dark spots on your skin. For the health, bilberry can work for cataracts and macular degeneration because this herb is good for your vision and eye.
Moreover, nowadays, because the scientific studies have found out many health benefits of bilberry, this fruit is used as the effective treatment for many health problems such as menstrual cramps, diarrhea, and circular problems. The bilberry leaves are useful to treat diabetes because it has the ability to lower blood glucose levels.
The high concentration of anthocyanins, one of the flavonoids, may contribute to these health benefits and antioxidant effects of bilberry.
Several other bilberry researches will be conducted further in order to help us find out more health benefits of bilberry. However, we cannot deny that bilberry is one of the powerful anti aging herbs and good fruit for your health and your beauty. Everyone can benefit from this fruit. No side effects have been reported.
- Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice, which is often used in Asian cooking. Since ages, turmeric has been found to have many health benefits to problems and disorders associate with aging. Therefore, this spice is also used as the famous Chinese and Ayurveda medicine because of healing and anti-aging properties.
Curcuminoids in turmeric contain strong antioxidant effects. It can treat oxidative stress, a common cause of aging signs such as sagging skin, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and age spots. Including turmeric in your diet will help to keep your skin look young.
Aging will deteriorate the function of the heart as well as the entire cardiovascular system. Aging will cause some negative changes to the structure of heart tissue progressive atherosclerosis and elasticity of arteries. This is the reason why elderly people are vulnerable to cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Heart disease can cause mortality in elderly people. Turmeric is effective and good for heart health. It keeps the heart problems caused by aging at bay. Curcumin present in turmeric can reduce inflammation which results in cardiovascular disease.
Bone, joint tissues, and muscles will weaken when we are aging. The decrease of bone density and strength will increase the risk of developing osteoporosis in the old. Many studies have worked on the anti-arthritic potential of curcumin present in turmeric and they found out that curcumin can improve the strength of your bone cells.
Moreover, you should include turmeric in your diet because this herb is good for your brain and your eyes.
- Gotu Kola
Gotu kola is an anti aging herb originating from Asia. Gotu kola is often eaten as a vegetable. Moreover, it is also used in traditional Ayurveda medicine because of a variety of health benefits.
Alzheimer's disease often occurs in the elderly people. Gotu kola may fight the effects of aging by improving your memory. This herb can avoid plaque formation in the brain. Acting as an antioxidant, gotu kola blocks enzymes, which cause the breakdown of neurotransmitters. Furthermore, gota kola lowers the risk of nerve degeneration associated with Parkinson's disease.
Gotu kola improves collagen strength; as a result, it will help your skin maintain the youth appearance. For this purpose, gotu kola can be added to skin creams and be applied topically. Alternatively, taking doses of 120 milligrams of kotu kola also help.
For joint health, gotu kola boosts the joint function, reduces the symptoms of arthritis and reduces the chances of joint damages.
Gotu kola has heart protective benefits which have been proven in some laboratory animal studies. This is because the compound madecassoside in gotu kola can block the oxidation of lipids and prevent the degeneration of heart cells. Additionally, gotu kola prevents clot formation and hence keeps stroke at bay.
However, you should consult the doctor before taking gotu kola as a medicine or supplementation.
- Sage
Sage plant belongs to the mint family. This herb is native to the Mediterranean and the Balkan regions. Sage is often added as a fragrance ingredient in many cosmetics as well as personal care products such as shaving creams, bath products, shampoos, fragrance products, and cleansing products. Sage shows the anti-aging effects on the skin. It can help to reduce aging signs such as wrinkle, age spots, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Sage leaf is often used as an effective treatment for many health problems relating aging such as indigestion, perspiration, sore throat, and rhinitis. Moreover, sage is effective in improving the brain function and memory.
Aging will cause inflammation on the cellular level. As a result, it fastens the aging process and weakens the parts of your body. Inflammation is the main reason for many health problems like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. Dr. Mercola suggested that the elderly people should add sages to their diet in order to keep inflammation at bay.
Sage is considered as a natural and safe herb because no negative side effect has been reported. However, pregnant women should use the sage herb in moderation, because high doses of sage can cause rapid heartbeats and dizziness.
I have mentioned 5 powerful anti aging herbs that work. I hope that you will find the useful information in this article. In order to inhibit the aging effects and slow down the aging process, we should have a healthy diet and build good habits from now.

How did one transform a group of raw recruits, of men who had no military knowledge, into soldiers? It was not an easy task, especially since many of the men had never even touched a weapon, let alone knew how to use one. This task often fell to private citizens, who, out of patriotic sentiment or the prospect of becoming commissioned, persuaded their neighbors to join their regiment. While this method was convenient and inexpensive for the government it often meant that the commissioned officers were inexperienced and underqualified, chosen only for their skills of persuasion. Because of this, transforming a group of men who were more skilled as farmers or lawyers into soldiers prepared for battle could prove to be a daunting task. It is also a subject that is paid little attention, outshone by the great battles and leaders of the Civil War. However, these regiments and the efforts of the men that raised them allowed for the possibility of those battles to occur and those leaders to emerge.

Hydroelectric power has been a great resource of energy for years. What are the true pros and cons of hydroelectric power?
Pros and Cons of Hydroelectric Power
Hydroelectric dams are a great resource for electric power. There are some drawbacks to hydroelectric power as an intermittent energy resource.
Green Coast can be a resource to help you understand the pros of hydroelectric power as well as the cons of hydroelectric power.
What is hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power facilities are a form of power-producing plants that rely on the use of dams to produce consumable energy. Hydroelectric power has a long-standing history as being one of the most reliable and understandable forms of generation.
Usually, hydroelectric power plants are placed in line with dams. The theory is that dams hold significant pressure of water behind them from a reservoir or river. The water can be released into a penstock that will use gravity to flow through a turbine that will generate the consumable power.
It's interesting because hydroelectric power plants and coal power plants produce electricity in a similar fashion.
Both hydroelectric power plants and coal power plants use a propeller-based turbine to generate power. With coal-based power plants, they use steam from the coal to turn the blades whereas hydroelectric facilities use water.
This is why hydroelectric dams are one of the purest forms of renewable energy. They simply use water (already river flowing water) to generate power. Hydroelectric power does not rely on a consumable feedstock to run the facility like biomass.
Hydroelectric Power Technologies
There are a number of different hydroelectric power technologies some of which are more proven than others. Here is a brief overview of some of the other hydroelectric power technologies.
1. Conventional Hydroelectric Dams
Conventional hydroelectric power dams are the most known technology. The power is built up from pressure from the dam. Then, the water flows down a penstock to the turbine to generate electricity.
2. Pumped Storage
The demand is not consistent with electricity. Highest demand is often at night time when the sun goes down and people consume power at the comforts of their home. Pumped storage is a form of energy storage that enables the use of water to act as a storage facility and can dispatch electricity in times of need.
3. Run-of-the-river
Run-of-the-river facilities rely on a consistent supply of water coming from a lake, pond or reservoir upstream. The water comes from 'upstairs' and flows down the stairs in the penstock to run straight through the turbine.
4. Tide Energy / Wave Energy / Tidal Power
Tidal energy solely relies on the rise and fall of the tide in the ocean. Permitting is very tough for this form of hydroelectric power and is not readily available in every location around the globe. You can read more about Tidal Wave energy in our featured post.
What are some interesting facts about general hydroelectric power to help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of this renewable energy technology?
Let's dive into the pros and cons of hydroelectric power.
Pros of Hydroelectric Power
When evaluating the pros and cons of hydroelectric power, I like to consider the pros side of the equation first. Here are the advantages and interesting facts about hydroelectric power.
1. Long-lasting asset class
Hydroelectric dams can last over 100 years. Hydro energy is extremely reliable and have a long operating history to stand behind.
2. Simple, understandable technology
The best part of hydroelectric power is the limited complexity. It really doesn't need to be explained in careful detail. The technology can virtually be used around the globe so long as there is water. It is as simple as when the water flows through the penstock, the facility is running.
3. Low-cost installation and low operating cost
The install cost of hydroelectric facilities is very low when paired with a dam. To operate a hydroelectric facility, you do not have much in the way of operating expenses. You will typically have an operations and maintenance contract with a provider to oversee the power plant.
In addition, you will have some consumable power on-site for operating the facility along with property taxes. Beyond that, hydropower has a limited operating expense burden.
4. Flexibility of use
Hydro energy is very flexible to 'turn on' and 'turn off.' It is a renewable energy resource that can be shut down during low river flows with a limited operating expense, which won't burden the overall performance of the facilities over a span of months.
Once flows are at peak levels, the hydroelectric power facilities can be ramped up very quickly to take advantage of the peak points. Large-scale hydroelectric facilities are usually front of the meter rather than behind the meter.
This being said, they have extremely high capacity factors. The plants generally are able to operate at their full capacity. Here is a video on what capacity factor means.
Cons of Hydroelectric Power
Just like anything in this world, there are always considerations for disadvantages relative to the advantages.
I'll let you be the judge if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Here are the disadvantages of hydroelectric power.
1. Water loss
One consideration that is a very important one with hydroelectric dams is water loss. During the water turbine process, a portion of water is lost from evaporation.
Water is a very scarce resource for people on earth. Water is a renewable resource. Here are a few reasons why water is renewable.
However, we only have a finite amount of supply of good drinking water and any lost water is damaging. We as people of earth must conserve as much water as possible.
2. Land damage and blockage of reservoirs
The permitting process for hydroelectric power facilities is long for a reason… The development of dams typically damages the low-points in reservoirs.
These reservoirs are typically in biologically rich areas or in riverine valleys. After the water flows through the turbine, the sediment can scour the river beds.
3. Risk of large-scale failure
Traditional hydroelectric dams have large pools of water behind them. With natural disasters on the rise and getting worse as time goes on, these catastrophic events can literally demolish a dam completely.
Tidal power also faces a similar risk with typhoons and hurricanes. Run-of-the-river facilities run less risk since the facilities can be geographically located in climates without hurricanes.
Conclusion on Hydroelectric Dams
There are plenty of pros and cons of hydroelectric power. Hydroelectric dams are one of the best forms of renewable energy. Unfortunately, due to the long history of the technology, most of all dams are spoken for in regards to hydroelectric power. Most hydroelectric development has slowed.
This is due to the long permitting processes and most development locations have been already called for. Hopefully, development can be reinvigorated through the exploration of newer technologies like tidal energy.
Existing operating hydroelectric facilities are very attractive for investors due to the flexibility when paired with other asset classes. From a portfolio construction standpoint, they make a lot of sense for yield-based investors since the cash flow from the facilities is straightforward, proven and relatively predictable.
