Game Story 4/29/17: Crawdads Rally, Defeat Fireflies in Extras
The Hickory Crawdads shook off the Columbia (S.C.) Fireflies with a tying run in the ninth and a walk-off RBI double by Preston Scott in the tenth to claim a 9-8 win in front of 4,325 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium.
The win for the Crawdads (9-14) is the third in a row during the four-game series, which concludes Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Columbia (12-12) has dropped four of its last five games and six of eight.
What happened?:
Columbia's outfielder Tim Tebow did not play. The crowd behaved and were quite well-mannered. Only one chant of Tebow occurred in the ninth inning.
What really happened?:
For the third straight game, the Crawdads offense got in gear and carried the team to the walk-off win. After scoring just 22 runs over its first 10 home games, Hickory now has 28 over the last three.
Columbia took a 3-0 lead after its first two at-bats. In the first, Andres Gimenez, the New York Mets No. 8 prospect (MLB.com) who was just added to the Fireflies roster, homered in his first stateside at-bat, a towering blast over the 32-foot high billboards in rightfield. Gene Cone added a two-run double in the second.
The Crawdads, who lead the Sally League in homers, added two in the second as Yanio Perez and Preston Scott snacked back-to-back solo blasts to left against starter Harol Gonzalez.
The Fireflies got the two runs back in the fourth. Jay Jabs singled and Desmond Lindsay walked before a passed ball moved both runners up. Ali Sanchez slammed a liner off the back of starting pitcher Argenis Rodriguez. 3B Ti'Quan Forbes scooped the ball up and made the play to first, but Jabs scored on the play. Milton Ramos doubled in Lindsay.
Yanio Perez then continued his assault on Fireflies pitching with a three-run homer to left to tie the game at 5-all. For the season, Perez is now 10-for-20 in six games with a double, four homers, four walks, 8 runs scored and 11 RBIs.
Hickory took the lead in the fifth as Yeyson Yrizarri singled in Eric Jenkins and scored himself on Forbes' groundout.
The see-saw affair continued in the sixth when Columbia scored three times to take an 8-7 lead. Sanchez singled in two runs before Cone's grounder brought in Lindsay for the go-ahead run.
The score remained there until the bottom of the ninth when Anderson Tejeda doubled to start the inning. One out later, Yrizarri squeezed in a single through the left side of the infield. Taveras then lofted a blooper just beyond the reach of the shortstop Gimenez, who had retreated to center, to score Tejeda. Matt Blackham then struck out Forbes and Ricky Valencia to end the inning and send the game to the tenth.
A perilous moment occurred in the tenth, when Ramos drove a deep fly to left. Eric Jenkins trotted back to the track, then dropped the ball and allowed Ramos to reach second. However, C.D. Pelham recovered to strike out Cone looking to end the threat.
In the bottom of the tenth against new reliever Joseph Zanghi (0-2), Perez got his third hit of the game with a hard single to left. Scott then lasered a double to the wall in left center to score the winning run.
Pelham (1-0) pitched two-hit ball over three scoreless innings with three strikeouts to keep the Fireflies at bay. Jake Lemoine preceded Pelham's work with two shutout innings of his own.
Tejeda base savvy:
I have to make note of a couple of brilliant base-running plays by Anderson Tejeda in the game, both occurring on second-to-third plays.
In the third, Yeyson Yrizarri hit a grounder to Ramos at third. Ramos made the diving stop to his left and threw to first on his knees for the out. Watching the play, Tejeda crept off the bag at second and then scrambled to third ahead of the return throw.
After he doubled in the ninth, Yrizarri's grounder was just out of the reach of Ramos and Gimenez at short. Tejeda, anxious initially, waited until the play developed before making his move to third.
A near disaster in the OF Part 1:
Columbia's Luis Carpio lined a shot to the gap in right-center field. Perez from right and Taveras from center both tracked the ball with neither calling the other off. The two converged and bumped, but Taveras made the catch and held on. The two had a conversation before returning to their positions. For a brief moment, it looked scary.
A near disaster in the OF Part 2, or Jenkins part 1:
There's no gentle way to put this. On the play in left in the tenth, Jenkins trotted and pranced to the track and then put the glove up for the nonchalant catch. Except he didn't make the catch. It didn't look good.
Jenkins part 2:
In talking with Eric some on Saturday, he talked about some of his adjustments, especially in addressing the strikeouts from 2016. He talked about not following the swing high, but keeping the swing up the middle. An emphasis on working the count is also a part of his approach. For the most part, he's done well with getting deep into counts and putting the ball in play. Though the average hadn't shown it, he hadn't been giving away at bats.
The two steps forward this week is now a step back. First AB was a one-pitch, weak grounder to 1B. The second AB was a one-pitch fly to LF. He reached on an infield hit in the fifth, then was looking on three pitches in the seventh and tried to muscle up a pitch in the ninth and struck out.
Taveras mastery at the plate:
In this homestand, Taveras has seen 102 pitches. He has swung and missed just five. Think about that when considering this is an 18-year-old. Three of those were vs. Braves No. 6 (MLB.com) prospect Ian Anderson.
One of those was tonight in the ninth when he wailed violently at a 1-0 fastball from Matt Blackham with runners on the corner. He settled down, worked the count full, then put the bat to the ball. It wasn't a full-swing, but he made enough contact to loft the ball into short center for the game-tying RBI single.
In the fifth, he yanked an 0-2 off-speed pitch to RF for a single. Two innings later, it was an 0-2 fastball off the plate that he served to left.
Looking back through my mind's eye, I remember how good Jurickson Profar was as an 18-year-old here. More walks than Ks, he would spoil two-strike pitches to the point of driving opposing pitchers batty. At 17 and early 18, Nomar Mazara, though he fanned a good bit, would battle and battle with two strikes. For me, at least for now, Taveras is right up there as far as strike-zone judgment.
Perez zeroed in:
After the two homers, he saw only curveballs during a full-count walk in the fifth. In the eighth, he crushed a change which wondered over the plate that Gimenez made a leaping catch of. The single in the tenth, also a fastball, was smoked to left.
Baserunning rally killers:
Both teams made curious decisions on the bases that stunted run-scoring innings. In the fourth, Columbia scored two and took a 5-2 lead with seemingly more on the way. With one out and Cone at the plate, Ramos wondered off the bag at second as Cone bunted through a pitch. Alex Kowalczyk saw the play and calmly threw to second for the pickoff. Cone then struck out to end the inning.
Hickory took a 7-5 lead with two in the fifth and had runners at the corners with two outs. With the count 2-2 to Preston Scott, Perez took off from first. When the throw from the catcher Sanchez went to second, Taveras scrambled for home. Luis Carpio cut off the throw at second and easily gunned down Taveras at the plate.
Walk-off remembered:
The walk-off win is the second of the season for the Crawdads and the first over the Mets Low-A affiliate since a 17-inning win over Savannah on 5/9/15, when Jose Cardona lined a homer into the leftfield corner. The day after, manager Jose Leger, who had argued Cardona's homer was foul, was ejected during the home-plate meeting.
Developing Tebow the Baseball Player: An Interview with Columbia manager Jose Leger
Tim Tebow is easily the biggest larger-than-life figure to come to Hickory as an athlete in at least a decade. When South Caldwell product Madison Bumgarner pitched for Augusta (Ga.) against Hickory in April 2008, the Crawdads drew a crowd of 4,805 for a Thursday night game. As I type this, already three of the four games for the series to begin today are sold out, with the Sunday game having only a couple of hundred tickets left. Without having records prior to 2005 to back it up, I'm guessing it'll be the most-attended four-game series at L.P. Frans Stadium since the 1990s.
There is quite the fervor with Tebow. When I attended the game on April 10 at Columbia, S.C. Tebow jerseys were everywhere. When he came to bat in the seventh with runners on, the chant of "Te-bow, Te-bow" reverberated throughout Spirit Communication Park. It was a fascinating scene to watch rabid SEC fans in Columbia that hate everything non-Gamecocks, especially the vitriol they have for things University of Florida football, celebrate Tebow.
Love him or hate him, there's been nothing like him to come to the South Atlantic League and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans to see a transcendent athlete that for most they have only seen on a TV screen.
The expectation from some is that Tebow will rise quickly to the New York Mets. That's not how baseball works. It's called a grind for a reason. Sure, there is the occasional homer, but there is also the baserunning blunder – he overran second and was caught in a rundown in the game I saw.
The big story is Tim Tebow being in the league and is one of the biggest figures to come to the South Atlantic League since at least Bryce Harper played with Hagerstown. First of all, what was your reaction and what was your team's reaction would you found out you were going to have Tebow on the roster this year?
Leger: To me, as a manager, it's a challenge, because we're speaking of an athlete that has had some success in a different sport and now coming to playing baseball, and being a little new to him, due to the fact that he was away from the game for such a long time.
So, I say a challenge because it's my job to try and get him better and try to get him to the next level. I know that just as it is a challenge for us to get all the players better. For me with him it was going to be, okay, I've got to get him better, but I've also got to make sure that he knows the little things about the game that he probably hasn't gone through in the past couple of years: game situations, base running, how to approach different leads, his rhythm at the plate, his throwing, the everyday grind and opposed to when you're in football you play once or twice a week. I knew it was going to be a challenge.
The reaction of the fans and the city and the other players has been great. I know the other players get a lot out of him due to a guy having such a good career in a sport like football and being a leader in another sport, and bringing that leadership with him, and for them to see his work habits. Guys can see that and were looking forward to this. The city was actually looking forward to seeing him playing baseball. The excitement we had this past week has been awesome. It's been a great experience.
He's had a career where he's had pressure – a big time SEC quarterback at Florida, winning the Heisman Trophy, going into the NFL. Is there a different kind of pressure for him coming into this at 29 and playing a different sport, or is he – in the time you've been around him – been impervious to that?
Leger: I don't think there's pressure at all. He's enjoying what he's doing. He's taking it day by day. He's working very hard and he's already seeing progress and we are seeing progress. So, it's going to be a journey and he's enjoying it. He's going day by day to see what happens. He's trying to control the things within his control, within his reach.
I think he's not worried about it. There's no pressure at all. He's done a lot already, showing that he can hit a little bit – he's hit two home runs in this past series. He's getting better defensively and I think the sky's the limit on him getting the best out of his ability.
Is he in a situation where he can help your guys with pressure – with the pressure of playing in a full 140-game season? For a lot of these guys, it's their first full season and the bus rides and all that comes with that. Do you see him having a role in dealing with that pressure?
Leger: Yes, he could be "that guy" that the guys look up to, just because he's leads by example and the things he does. Right now, as we speak, he's in the cage hitting with our hitting coach. He was here early shagging balls on the field while three other players were getting extra work. So that tells me, he didn't need to be there, but he wanted to be out there catching extra fly balls. And now he's taking extra swings in the cage.
Yeah, he knows he's got some catching up to do, but he's doing his best and the guys see this. So, the guys see that this guy is working hard and say, "Who am I not to work hard?" So, he leads by example and he always says the right things to the guys. Every now and then when he talks to the guys, you don't even notice it, but he's getting everybody's ear on how to go about their business and how to be a professional.
A lot of guys, this is their first 140-game season and they're getting on that bus ride to Lakewood, N.J. and Delmarva (Md.) and all of those places that you guys have to go this year. Is he more prepared for that sort of grind than maybe the average 19 or 20-year old that's starting out in a full season?
Leger: What can I say, I don't know. We shall see how he's going to respond to that. I know the guys see his body and his built – he's very strong. So, I don't think there's a concern about his body holding up and being able to go through the bus rides and then wake up the next day and go and /play baseball. It is a challenge for everybody. It's hard for me as a manager and I don't play.
I know it's going to be a little tough for some of these young kids as well, and the travel and all that. It's a game of adjustments and we're going to be ready for that. I know that Tim's got to go through the travels and it's some of the grind that you've got to go through when you're in the minor leagues.
What's the biggest thing at this point that Tebow will have to go through? You mentioned it -a little bit, as far as the intricacies that he's had to deal with, that you don't deal with as a high school player. Give me some examples of what he'll have to pick up at this level.
Leger: I think his base running and getting more reps in the outfield. If you think about when he played in high school, it was aluminum bats and the ball coming off the bat and it's a different read, because you kind of go off the sound. The same thing you do in baseball with wooden bat and I think he's still getting used to it.
I think the more reps he gets in the outfield and base running and knowing when to run and when not to run, and all this. The more he plays at this level, the better he's going to feel. The more reps he gets, the better he's going to get.
The guy is smart and he gets it. He knows that it's a matter of paying attention and just going through it and doing drills and all that. Hopefully, at the end, he understands, "this is how I've got to run the bases. This is what I need to do defensively." Once he puts it all together, I think it's just going to be going to the next level and start doing the same thing.
One of the things that kills a lot of people at this level is they can hit fastballs, but then struggle once they face pitchers that can spin the baseball a little bit. How has he adjusting to that, so far?
Leger: He's done well. He's seeing the breaking ball. He's taken some good breaking balls in the dirt for balls and he hasn't swung. His strike-zone vision has been actually pretty good. I think it's, like I said, just a matter of repetition for him.
For all the guys, you and the Mets have goals where you'd like to see this player at A, B and C at the end of the year. What are the goals for Tebow by the time he's going home from wherever in September?
Leger: We don't have like stats or numbers set for him in order to move to the next level. We're kind of paying attention to the little details like, talking the proper path in the outfield, knowing where to throw the ball in different situations – when to throw to second or when to throw to the plate to keep the double play in order – running the bases, all these little details. Once you see that, okay, he can go up. You check boxes. Okay, so, he's doing this right, he's doing this right.
On top of that, his at bats, the consistency of his at bats at the plate. The more consistency we see with the strike zone, the better chance he has. Once he accomplishes all that, I think they're going to move him to the next level. I don't know if it's sooner or later. He might be here with me the whole time or he might be gone the next month. It's not my call. My job is to try to get him better. But, I think that's what they're looking at. They're looking at him getting better in those areas and hopefully getting him promoted soon.
There has been football players that have come in – guys that were good two-sport athletes that decided to play baseball and not football coming out of high school – and they struggled with putting the athletic ability to baseball ability. What's the thing Tebow will have to figure out as far as putting that baseball ability with the athleticism?
Leger: I've had players like this. Last year, I had a player Ivan Wilson, who was good at football and baseball. You see him practice and he was impressive, but he never translated to the game and he decided to retire. I had another player in Bradley Marquez for two years at Kingsport (Tenn.) and it was the same thing. Sometimes, the ability doesn't translate to the sport, but you'll never find out until you throw him into the fire to see what he's got. So far, he's proven that he can play. I think that time is going to dictate that.

According to a newly released study by ATTOM Data Solutions, selling your home in the month of May will net you an average of 5.9% above estimated market value for your home. May is almost gone, but the chart below still has June as the next best month. As we head into July it drops considerably and by August & September, even more. Buyers are trying to secure their new residences before school starts in late August.
For the study, ATTOM performed an "analysis of 14.7 million home sales from 2011 to 2017" and found the average seller premium achieved for each month of the year. Below is a breakdown by month:
ATTOM even went a step further and broke their results down by day.
Top 5 Days to Sell:
June 28th – 9.1% above market
February 15th – 9.0% above market
May 31st – 8.3% above market
May 29th – 8.2% above market
June 21st – 8.1% above market
It should come as no surprise that May and June dominate as the top months to sell and that 4 of the top 5 days to sell fall in those two months. The second quarter of the year (April, May, June) is referred to as the Spring Buyers Season, when competition is fierce to find a dream home, which often leads to bidding wars.
One caveat to mention though, is that when broken down by metro, ATTOM noticed that while warmer climates share in the overall trend, it turns out that they have different top months for sales. The best month to get the highest price in Miami, FL, for instance, was January, and Phoenix, AZ came in with November leading the charge.
If you're thinking of selling your home this year, the time to list is NOW! According to the National Association of Realtors, homes sold in an average of just 30 days last month! If you list now, you'll have a really good chance to sell in May or June, setting yourself up for getting the best price!
Let's get together to discuss the market conditions in our area and get you the most exposure to the buyers who are ready and willing to buy.

Natalie and Scott were married in June of 2015 behind a log cabin where they both have hunted and enjoyed family gatherings. This Washington County farm and log cabin has been in Natalie's family for generations.
This farm makes them feel closer to each other, it gives them peace. It allows them to breathe after the hurried life they live from day to day.
Special touches: Natalie made her bouquet from broaches she had collected from friends and family. Each broach had a special meaning to remind her of the people, past and present, in her life. She wore boots and even bought some boots for her grandfather. All to keep with that special country theme.
Then there was the first look. They wanted a special spot in the woods to have that special moment….
This wonderful couple had a unique wedding that was so peaceful.
Thank you Natalie and Scott!
Fun fact about Natalie and Scott:
They so love to hunt, that even while we were doing their engagement photos, on the farm, they heard a wild turkey! It got their attention so much that they went hunting for it after the photo session was over. (Of course they brought extra clothing and gear, just in case.)

Siemens ships Saudi made gas turbines to Jazan
Siemens is supplying a total of 10 gas turbines that were specifically designed for synthesis gas (syngas) -- to Saudi Aramco's landmark project
Siemens has delivered the first shipment of its locally produced gas turbines to the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant in Jazan power plant.
This is believed to be the world's largest power plant of its kind that will be fuelled with gasified refinery residues, which contributes significantly to increasing the energy efficiency.
Siemens is supplying a total of 10 gas turbines that were specifically designed for synthesis gas (syngas) -- to Saudi Aramco's landmark project.
These engineering masterpieces will power the 4,000 MW power plant and generate 600 tons of high pressure steam per hour to Saudi Aramco's refinery, which is an essential part of the overall development of Jazan Economic City, reported Arab News.
The shipment of the first locally produced gas turbine falls in line with the event held by Saudi Aramco with its partners for the Fadhili project.
During the festivities, Professor Siegfried Russwurm, member of the managing board and CTO of Siemens AG, said: "Today, we celebrate another milestone together with our partners. We built these high-tech gas turbines in Saudi Arabia with local talent and are proud to deliver them to their new home in Jazan."
He added: "We have kept our promises and are grateful to Saudi Aramco for their confidence in Siemens."
We assure Aramco and the people of Saudi Arabia of Siemens' continuous strong commitment and contribution to the realisation of the Kingdom's Vision 2030."
Siemens is a leader in building energy-efficient and resource-saving technologies.
In addition, Siemens' contribution to the Saudi society extends beyond supporting the successful operation of the Kingdom's power plants and achieving best-in-class efficiency standards.
Siemens adds lasting value to local communities and has made sustainable development the cornerstone of all its activities, and that means acting responsibly on behalf of future generations and keeping the three dimensions of sustainability people, planet and profit in balance.

WASHINGTON--President Barack Obama, fresh from vacation and nine rounds of golf on Martha's Vineyard, is launching into a busy two weeks promoting renewable energy and his nuclear deal with Iran.
With the U.S. presidential election campaign and China's stock market dominating headlines, Obama was set to speak on Monday in Las Vegas on clean energy, then travel to New Orleans on Thursday to mark the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. As he stepped off Air Force One in Washington on Sunday night, savoring the last moments of family time, Obama held the hand of his eldest daughter Malia, who will soon start her final year of high school in Washington before going to university.
The final 16 months of Obama's presidency will likely be overshadowed by the 2016 presidential campaign and while Congress does not appear willing to tackle difficult issues, Obama has a to-do list. At Senator Harry Reid's National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, Obama will promote steps that the White House announced on Monday to try to shift U.S. energy away from carbon-producing sources such as coal and toward renewables such as solar. The steps, taken as executive actions, include increased loan guarantees for renewable energy developers and help for homeowners with solar power installations.
Taking his climate change message further afield, Obama will leave on Aug. 31 for a four-day trip to Alaska to focus on the effects of a warming climate on the Arctic.
Back in Washington, Congress will not return from its long summer vacation for two more weeks. When it does, lawmakers will have until Sept. 17 to act on a U.S.-led international deal backed by Obama to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for easing economic sanctions on that country.
Obama has steadily built support for the agreement in the Senate. On Sunday, it won the endorsement of Reid, the Democrats' leader in the Senate. On Monday, Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow also came out in favor of it.

Though these kinds of offers may say "instant approval," in almost every case, the lender will still need to evaluate and confirm your application.
The FHA Streamline Refinance program is a special refinance program for people who have a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan. It is the simplest and easiest way to refinance an FHA loan. Unlike a traditional refinance an FHA Streamline Refinance allows a borrower to refinance without having to verify their income and assets.
The program requires no income documentation. affairs guarantees loans made by lenders against default. The Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRL) mirrors the FHA Streamline Refinance where.
The FHA says borrowers cannot finance their closing costs into their loan balance. closing costs vary widely by location: The average closing cost is approximately 3% of the loan amount, or $3,000 on a $100,000 loan. Most lenders allow you to wrap closing costs into your loan balance for a conventional loan refinance.

While a credit card's APR and interest rate are one and the same, APR and interest rates are more complex in the context of business loans.

It accounts for the interest rate plus other fees and costs, including origination fees, closing costs, and.
The VA also offers a streamlined "VA loan to VA loan" refinance, known as an "Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan," or IRRRL for short. Yes, that's a lot of "R's," but a VA streamline refinance is easy to execute and can save you a lot of money now that mortgage rates are so low.
The definition of net tangible benefit varies based on the type of loan being refinanced, and the interest rate and/or term of the new loan. Cash in excess of $500 may not be taken out on mortgages refinanced using the streamline refinance process. Lenders may offer streamline refinances in several ways.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans provide fixed-rate and adjustable-rate financing with down payment options as low as 3.5%. You can typically only have one FHA mortgage at a time. May allow you to use a gift or grant for all or a portion of down payment and closing costs.

Template for Availability Request
We are trying to configure our settings for sending Availability Requests to translators.
While testing, we are able to send the request and the email that is sent looks like it has been sent by the PM who is managing the project, but when the translator confirms the job and the job is assigned (we used the cheapest at deadline strategy for testing), the email sent to translator that `they have been selected for the project` seems like it is sent by another PM.
We would like the configure this to make it seem that the confirmation email is sent by the same PM who is actually managing project, not anyone else.
I couldn't find a place in settings where I can change this. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Dear Levent,
to investigate and edit notifications sent out to users, clients and providers go to:
Settings -> Templates -> Notifications -> Templates
Two notifications that you are interested in are:
When an availability request for one job is sent to vendor (or When an availability request for multiple jobs is sent to provider, depending on how you sent notifications).
When vendor is selected for a job
There in Sender field you can choose an expression that chooses person who will be shown as message sender.

Specific algorithms are presented to allow to cut down on computational expense, both for short-range and large-range forces. The module focuses in detail on the Barnes-Hut algorithm, a tree algorithm which is popular a popular approach to solve the N-Body problem. In this module, we will see an alternative approach to model systems which display a trivial behaviour most of the time, but which may change significantly under a sequence of discrete events.
Initially developed to simulate queue theory systems such as consumer waiting queue , the Discrete Event approach has been apply to a large variety of problems, such as traffic intersection modeling or volcanic hazard predictions. Agent Based Models ABM are used to model a complex system by decomposing it in small entities agents and by focusing on the relations between agents and with the environment.
This approach is derived from artificial intelligence research and is currently used to model various systems such as pedestrian behaviour, social insects, biological cells, etc. This course was a perfect match with my expectations!

Baby Name Voyager Visualization Again
the work of Martin Wattenberg. Probably most famous is his Baby Name Voyager. This takes social security data of the choice of baby names since the 1880s and cleverly visualizes the results into a highly interactive stacked line chart. More technical information. Although we did not use it for the problem at the time, it has come up again as an example for interacting with low dimension, high volume data. Worth taking another look, like I did. Love to hear of other examples of its use.

AFTER A POSTSEASON with very few surprises, the top teams from the AFC and NFC will meet in the Super Bowl for just the second time in 20 years this Sunday when the Denver Broncos take on the Seattle Seahawks.
These two reached the Super Bowl by very different means; Denver's all-conquering offence out-scoring all before them in the AFC while nobody in the NFC could find a way to unlock Seattle's stingy defence when it really mattered.
So will Sunday night prove the old adage is true that offences win games but defences win championships or will the Hall of Fame bound Peyton Manning see his team out gun the young upstart Russell Wilson?
What we want to know from you today is, will the Denver Broncos or Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII? Let us know why in the comments below.

East Africa's first liquefied natural gas export project—Coral South in Mozambique—has been given the green light, but doubts about how much it will benefit the region's economies remain a major concern for national leaders.
A positive final investment decision (FID) on the floating liquefied natural gas project came in early June from the Mozambique government and the Eni-led consortium developing Area 4 in the Rovuma Basin. But even the optimism of President Filipe Nyusi, announcing the deal in an upmarket Maputo hotel, seemed guarded. He referred to the "sacrifices" made by the country to get the project over the line.
Until a couple of years ago, Mozambique was taking a hard line on FLNG, in much the same way as Tanzania, its gas-rich neighbour to the north, still does today. Floating LNG brought too few benefits to the local economy—for a start, few jobs, directly or indirectly. So LNG developments should happen onshore, ran the argument.
But continued delays to the Mozambique projects softened opposition, which finally fell away when scandals threw the country's economy into a tailspin. These involved three secret state-owned companies, which took out $2bn in state-guaranteed debt to try—and fail—to build a domestic offshore security industry. The government needed investment and hard currency, but was also seeking a good news story for the public.
After the scandal, the government realised it needed to get the projects off the ground and so Coral South became reality. The project draws on an estimated 16 trillion cubic feet of gas in place, but the entire output over more than 20 years will be sold to BP. None will supply the domestic market. So much for the Mozambique government's Gas Master Plan.
The hope is that this FID is only the first of several that will come on the Mozambican side of the Rovuma Basin, which the country shares with Tanzania, and that onshore projects, promised by Eni and Anadarko, will be able to provide gas supply to both domestic and export markets.
Eni chief executive Claudio Descalzi said at the Coral South signing ceremony that the $8bn project was "only the appetiser". ExxonMobil has bought joint operatorship of Area 4 and will lead the onshore project alongside Anadarko in Area 1, and the firms will collaborate to develop the huge reserves straddling the border, which amount to the biggest single field yet found in the Rovuma.
More offshore blocks further south and onshore are waiting to be explored by a roster of international companies including Exxon itself, once engineering contracts have been agreed. There are signs, with the recent announcement of an adjustment to the 2014 petroleum tax law, that the government is prepared to cede significant ground in that area too.
Mozambique is proving itself as an investment destination for this type of mega-project, with a fiscal and legal framework that the companies are comfortable with. It seems like it will only be a matter of time before onshore LNG happens.
That can't be said for Tanzania.
"A lot of people in Tanzania are talking about the LNG project as a foregone conclusion, but it's still very possible that it doesn't go ahead," says an expat oil and gas economist based in Dar es Salaam, who preferred to remain anonymous, citing an atmosphere of mistrust of foreign workers in Tanzania. "I think that's a bigger possibility under [President John] Magufuli than under [predecessor] Kikwete, as he's more anti-foreign labour," he adds.
The mistrust is plain in in the mining sector, where the country's biggest gold miner, UK-based Acacia Mining, was accused in May of drastically underreporting the value of its Tanzanian exports, which led Magufuli to sack energy and minerals minister Sospeter Muhongo. At the start of June, another government-backed investigation into the company found that it was operating in the country illegally. Acacia hotly disputes both charges, and several independent analysts back the company.
The case is contributing to an investment climate which is "pretty problematic at the moment, so even if global markets were more promising there'd still be big question marks over [the LNG projects]", another natural resources specialist based in Dar es Salaam says.
It is in this atmosphere that the would-be sponsors of an LNG project—principally Shell, Ophir Energy, Statoil, and Exxon—are negotiating the Host Government Agreement (HGA) with Tanzania. That discussion is "in its preliminary stages—the government says it started in September, but it hasn't really got underway yet", the second source says.
"The next couple of years will be crucial," he adds. "Even if the global context does improve, the country-specific risk and the regulatory framework, which is a lot more demanding than in other countries, means investors will start looking elsewhere."
Among the matters to be ironed out is how much gas the project must provide to the domestic market. The rules in existing legislation are open to interpretation, because, after the investors have covered their costs, they must fully supply the domestic market's needs before they can start exporting.
The Natural Resources Governance Institute assumed a domestic requirement 10% of production based on the precedent set by the Statoil PSA, but it remains a "known unknown" for the investors.
"In Tanzania, the government has historically been focused on ensuring domestic gas supply to meet electricity and industrial demand," says Mansur Mohammed, a sub-Saharan Africa analyst at consultancy Wood Mackenzie. "That Tanzania has been prioritising domestic gas supply to meet electricity and industrial demand [means] an extra layer of discussion with the companies wanting to sanction the LNG projects."
If the HGA is agreed in the next two years, the companies say FID can be expected in 2022—the same year as Eni plans to produce first LNG at Coral South in Mozambique. At that point, Tanzanians could be wondering what might already have been, although the government will be able point to the fact that Coral South FLNG won a complete exemption from supplying Mozambique's domestic market.
Whatever the problematic genesis of the Coral project, it does make Mozambique a pioneer of the still relatively unproven floating liquefaction technology. Coral South is among the world's first purpose-built FLNG platforms and the first to be project financed. President Nyusi noted with pride that the project had come through the due diligence processes of 15 banks and five export-credit agencies, as well as the offtaker, BP. The partners will finance the upstream portion of the project.
The technology is increasingly in vogue in Africa. "We are seeing a rise in the number of smaller more nimble projects moving forward," Wood Mackenzie's Mohammed says. "You look at Equatorial Guinea block R-Ophir and its partners are developing a deep-water FLNG project, small scale, across a number of fields."
Ophir's project is much smaller, requiring reserves of 2.5 trillion to 3 trillion cf of gas to make it viable. "It certainly challenges the concept of bigger is better, with some of these smaller and more nimble projects that don't necessarily require large volumes to be found, and don't necessarily require large and long offtake agreements to be in place," says Mohammed.
The gasfields in Tanzania are not as prolific as Coral, so a floating project the size of that planned in Mozambique would need several fields. In theory, Shell—which is pioneering FLNG in Australia with Prelude—could have enough gas across its Tanzanian fields to do a Coral-scale project, Mohammed says.
Even if Tanzania plumps for FLNG—unlikely, say most in-country sources—it will now always be playing catch-up with Mozambique. With larger reserves and a more advanced project, Mozambique now seems set to become the region's LNG centre.
Mozambique already has projects in place to use domestic gas from the future onshore LNG projects, having awarded Shell the right to start developing gas-to-liquids and Norway's Yara a fertiliser project. Recently, Mmamoloko Kubayi, South Africa's new energy minister, said a pipeline from the Rovuma Basin into South Africa was a key part of her country's medium-term energy policy. If that happens, which seems doubtful, Mozambique could supply gas to Zimbabwe and Zambia along the way.
Tanzania, meanwhile, could still miss out altogether. "Prices may improve and therefore there might be increased investment in the next 10-15 years. [But] you look at the potential effect of climate change policy on fossil fuels and the window for attracting investment is narrowing. If Tanzania doesn't get investment in the next 15 years, those reserves won't be developed," the natural resources expert in Dar es Salaam says.
The Tanzanian government may not be overly bothered about the pace of LNG development, taking the view that it will happen on its own terms or not at all. But Mozambique, heavily in debt, has little choice but to give the investors exactly what they need.

VP for Welfare & Equality Aising Fagan said it "wasn't feasible" for a part-time Accommodation Officer to be implemented this year.
Fagan, who has been re-elected for the same position for the next academic year, had hoped for a part-time Accommodation Officer to be put in place in the Students' Union (SU) in an attempt to ease the stress faced by many students trying to find affordable accommodation near campus.
While this part of her manifesto was not fulfilled, Fagan says more will be done by the SU: "The SU help-desk will be helping with accommodation queries during the summer months to help with the admin load which will make a huge difference".
Aside from this, the majority of Fagan's manifesto from last year was completed.
The consent classes were held in October for first years as promised, however they were only timetabled for some courses instead of all, which is what was stated in the manifesto.
According to Fagan there was a turnout of over 650 students for these consent workshops and she plans on the classes being run in a "similar fashion" next year. However, they will not be timetabled for any students.
Fagan said in November to The College View that she doesn't believe consent classes should be mandatory as to do so would "defeat the whole purpose of consent".
The VP for Welfare & Equality has high hopes for the continuation of consent education in campuses across Ireland. The Department of Education and Skills have recently published a national consent framework called "Safe, Respectful, Supportive and Positive – Ending Sexual Violence and Harassment in Irish Higher Education Institutions", which Fagan believes "is a very positive step in the right direction".
As for Fagan's plans for Rainbow Week this too went ahead during Week 10 of the second semester. The DCU Drag Race, which was highlighted in her manifesto, took place on Wednesday 3rd April in The Button Factory and raised €3000 for TENI (Transgender Equality Network Ireland).
Fagan delivered on her promise to decrease counselling service appointment waiting times with an additional €75,000 allocated to the DCU Counselling Service Budget last November to contribute to the establishment of a 24/7 phone line, 365 days a year.
As part of her proposal of a "self-care" culture in DCU, free STI checks were also made available to all students during KISS week, which took place during Week two of second semester.

Cheapest Home Contents Insurance - How to Find it?
Can You Go Without Contents Insurance? Insurance. Is it just another expense or perhaps is it genuinely absolutely essential? In an economy where we're all counting the pennies you have to manage some tough decisions on cutting certain expenses. Home and contents insurance coverage is probably not among those cuts as it's an extremely important approach to protect your property plus your financial future. Worse case scenario is that you home burns down and also you lose everything. Imagine that and think of the financial impact which will dress in you. While its most likely not possible for your requirements, the reality is that you have to then come the worse. That's the whole point to get insured. There are three important things that you can remember before you purchase contents insurance for tenants. Firstly, it is important that you make a directory of every one of the items that will require insurance. Here, valuable possessions may need extra protection. When you have insurance for all such belongings, you won't need to be concerned home contents insurance much, as they have insurance policies coverage. With this insurance policies, you do not have got anxiety about your home being robbed or damaged and will also be spared of replacing every one of the goods from the expenses. Firstly there is certainly buildings insurance. This form of household cover is normally insisted upon by most banks like a term in the contract. Fundamentally building cover will protect just that; the structure. Put simply this kind of insurance will take care of the bricks and mortar in addition to fixtures including kitchens or bathrooms. Most policies will even cover outbuildings such as sheds or garages. Think about the amount of insurance costs. If you live in a very neighborhood, or are portion of a municipality that is notorious for the criminal elements, it's going to be no wonder to have expensive premiums so that you can insure your valuables. The chances of making a coverage claim is going to be enormously high, due to the location of your respective residence. Some pieces of the common house are inexplicably capped from the insurance agencies in their coverable value, so pay attention to them. The best illustration of this is jewellery, in addition to cameras and watches. Jewellery is normally frozen at $2500 (not per piece, but total), that is ludicrously inadequate; just one diamond inside a wristlet or gem in the necklace can equal or exceed that figure, if your lady has jewellery, get it separately valued and covered.
