As he held her through her tears, she tried to reconcile herself to the fact that her parents wanted nothing to do with her anymore. It hurt, more then she thought possible, but she now had a new home and someone who wished to take care of her and care for her. Slowly her tears dried up and went away and she withdrew from his arms. She felt lighter for having cried and she took the handkerchief he'd passed her with a small smile.
"Thank you. I needed that." she murmured, twisting the cloth between nervous hands.
"If you truly wish to rest, then I shall let you, Princess."
"Oh no. I'm all right now. I just needed a few moments to gather my thoughts. Thank you, My Lord." She gave him a another smile, like a flower bud slowly blooming under the midday sun. She got to her feet. "If you would give me a moment to refresh myself, I wouldn't be opposed to returning to dinner. I'm feeling a bit peckish." So saying, she moved on slippered feet to the wash basin to splash cool water across her cheeks. After drying her face and fixing back the loose hairs that had fallen from her braid, she deemed herself ready.
She stood in front of Sirus, and on impulse, she stretched herself upward to place a gentle kiss upon his lips, her cheeks flushing in embarassement as she drew back from him. Her way of saying "Thank you for looking out for me when no one else would."
Watching the Princess dry her tears, he noticed she had calmed slightly since he had walked into the room. Maybe the cry had eased some of the tension she was feeling, but it was hard to say, for she was twisting the small cloth between her hands.
"You can keep it, Princess." Sirus said of the hankerchief she was holding. He rose to standing, thinking she would accept his idea that perhaps she needed rest from their long journey and that he could then go back down to speak to his mother, though in his mind he had just changed his plans. Tempest rejected his suggestion, now feeling she had gathered her thoughts, composed herself and was again ready to face the court over a meal. She was hungry afterall.
Sirus nodded politely, and stood with his hands behind his back as he waited for her while she washed at a nearby basin and jug. It meant that she was now refreshed and clean, indeed ready for court. Surprisingly, Tempest kissed the Prince softly without making another word, before leaving the room, with the Prince quietly in tow.
Dining hall.
Coming back into the room together, nearly all were still seated in their places, and you could see Klaus was on his third helping of pancakes, smothering the stack with maple syrup, while the white witches were engrossed with a cup that had tea leaves scattered in the bottom. They both watched Tempest take her seat, before looking in the cup again and then sharing a worried expression. Both were from the Vaas lands, but neither wanted to speak of what they had just read.
Sirus sat at the top of the table beside his mother, and leaned to her quietly whispering.
"About…that chat. I've..changed my mind. We can discuss the matters of the Kingdom at your leisure, My Queen."
Sirus had changed his mind. He just didn't feel right about it now, and knew that there was promise in the future. He gave Tempest a weak smile, before taking up a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
Arianna was worried for the young Princess as she left the room, Sirus following shortly thereafter. It must have been overwhelming to be suddenly thrust into a land she had no prior knowledge of.
"Dathon…what has happened?" she asked, directing her head toward Tempest.
"The war…did not end well, My Queen. Her father killed a Throne of God. Her brother…slaughtered like cattle. And news reached us that her grandfather, the King of Brax killed the King and Queen of Casterly. The Princess herself had been captured by three vile witches to be used as a sacrifice in a ritual to restore their youth and beauty." Dathon explained in a quiet voice. Arianna sat back in her seat, eyes wide.
"That poor child." Arianna whispered. Dathon nodded in agreement.
It was some time later when both Sirus and Tempest returned and Arianna was pleased to see the young woman begin to eat her meal with a bit more enthusiasm then before. Sirus took that moment to lean toward his mother.
"About…that chat. I've..changed my mind. We can discuss the matters of the Kingdom at your leisure, My Queen."
"Sirus…we will talk in the morning. Whatever news you have to impart on me may wait until then. I sense it is important and you have already dealt with so much. Please let us talk on the morrow after you've rested." She gave his hand a squeeze and began to wonder how he would take the news that his sister had upped and left. Morning would come soon enough…
And so the Prince did as the Queen, his Mother asked. Getting a good night's sleep in his own bed, was just what he needed. He virtually passed out the moment his head hit the satin pillow. An early riser, he had done his old morning routine, of climbing to the tallest tower, before heading back down, to wash and prepare for the new day. The meeting with his mother was paramount, and he hurried to find her in one of her more serene settings; the Gazeebo.
Walking up the small path, he took the two steps, then bowed before his Mothers, before taking a seat down next to her. It was truly a beautiful morning, with the dew on the brightly coloured flowers that were opening their buds to the morning's sun. The Prince seemed at first a tad nervous to say what he felt he needed too, but with a light cough, he began.
"Mother, when I had returned home to you, I had in my mind ideas of my future in particular concerning the monarchy and my place here. I had every intention of bringing you joyous news when I brought home the Princess of Brax, who I love very much and with all my heart." At this point he paused, looking away momentarily, his face creasing slightly.
"I don't need to tell you of the horrors I have seen in these last few months. Death, war, murder….the very worst of people shown in all its glory. I did all I could to soldier on, and bring back the woman I had intended to marry. And I did…I mean, I still do…it's just." He paused again, fighting to find the words to explain what was happening.
"The Princess…has suffered great loss, and while I thought bringing her here would make her happy, I think I was wrong. To see her so miserable…and not be able to do anything about it. I would move heaven and earth for her, but…I don't think my love is enough."
His words were heartfelt, and honest. It was then he looked at his mother and said.
"I am afraid, I cannot do my duty, if the woman I love, does not love me in return. I don't want anyone else."
He was still of the belief he had to marry to ascend to the throne, and role of King.
There had been so much on her mind the night before she'd barely been able to sleep. She knew the chat with her son would be an important one and she knew what she wanted to say to him when they finally met.
Arianna was up with the dawn, managing barely little sleep. She did her morning ablutions before summoning her ladies to help her ready for the day.
She was seated at the table in her gazebo when Sirus arrived. He bowed to her in respect, something that still surprised her, before he joined her at the table.
They ate in silence, Arianna sensing her son's increasing nervousness before she set down her napkin and looked at him fully.
"Sirus…talk to me." she urged.
"Mother, when I had returned home to you, I had in my mind ideas of my future in particular concerning the monarchy and my place here. I had every intention of bringing you joyous news when I brought home the Princess of Brax, who I love very much and with all my heart."
Arianna was surprised to hear this. It was the last thing she expected.
"Then I am happy for you, Sirus. But I sense there is more you wish to tell me."
"I don't need to tell you of the horrors I have seen in these last few months. Death, war, murder….the very worst of people shown in all its glory. I did all I could to soldier on, and bring back the woman I had intended to marry. And I did…I mean, I still do…it's just." He seemed to struggle for words and she reached out to clasp his hand, lending him her strength of presence.
"The Princess…has suffered great loss, and while I thought bringing her here would make her happy, I think I was wrong. To see her so miserable…and not be able to do anything about it. I would move heaven and earth for her, but…I don't think my love is enough."
"Oh darling. A woman would have to be out of her mind not to love you." Arianna smiled taking his hand. He was silent for a moment, before he spoke what was really bothering him.
"I am afraid, I cannot do my duty, if the woman I love, does not love me in return. I don't want anyone else."
And that was the crux of the matter.
Arianna sat back with a sigh.
She had done a lot of thinking in the year Sirus was gone and realized that she had placed too much pressure on her eldest child. She had experienced the same with her own parents, being forced to marry for alliance's sake. And although she grew to love her King…she still resented her parents.
"Sirus…It isn't often that I'd admit to a wrong, but I will admit it to you. I should not have forced you to marry, should not have given you ultimatums and threats like I did. You should marry when you are ready, not because I demanded it of you." She stated. "You shall be King. But I will not require you to marry to do so."
She reached up to her throat and removed the pendant she had. She took his hand and placed it in his palm.
"This necklace has been in my family for generations. It was given to a princess of great standing when she is chosen by a prince to marry. It is unique in that when she is ready to marry, it will glow. I am giving this to you, so that you may give this to Tempest. You need not tell her what it does if you do not wish to. But it will allow her to make her choice…and I have no doubt, she will chose you for I have seen the way she looks at you when you are not looking." She closed his palm over the pendent. "She does love you. She just needs the time to see that you love her in return. Woo her, romance her…make her feel as if she is the only woman in the world. No woman can ignore that." she smiled with encouragement.
Queen Arianna had handed over a very precious gift to her son, closing his palm over it, after explaining its use. This was a necklace that could feel the moods and gauge when a person was truly ready to marry. The Prince lowered his head, looking at their joined hands, his mother's fingers covering his own. Her hand was so much smaller than his own. Petite and delicate. Sirus brought his other hand over hers, and said simply; "Thank you, Mother."Not My Queen, but he called her "Mother". It's often said that the answers to our own questions lay within our heart. By giving this necklace to Tempest, it was one way of seeing if her heart was ready to accept the Prince's love.
Slowly he withdrew his hands from Arianna and smiled softly at her. He knew she was frail and seen it with his own eyes as he had returned to court. It worried him. How long had it been since the death of his Father? Her soul mate? She had hung on all this time for a reason. To see her son ascend to the throne, and know her will be done, to the very end. A moment of silence passed between them, as soft petals fell from the trees around the gazebo. A magical moment, and one Sirus would not soon forget.
"Father was a very lucky man to have you for as long as he did." Sirus said, speaking from the heart of how wonderful a woman Arianna was. "I hope I can be so fortunate to be happy, when I one day take the woman I love to be my bride.'Sirus placed a kiss upon his Mother's forehead, before turning to go and find Tempest, and present her with the necklace. Would she accept it?
After the feast the night before, Tempest had been escorted to her rooms by Sirus and told if she had need of anything, he was right across the hall. She nodded in understanding before he left her alone. Her thoughts were still a chaotic jumble and it would take her some time to organize them.
But the one thing she was sure of, was the love she was beginning to feel for Sirus. He had been there for her when no one else had and she felt a measure of affection for him. She had been honest with him when she told him he had saved her life. In more ways then one.
She had been ready to give up.
Sleep had been rough. Plagued by nightmares that she couldn't remember upon waking, she was confused and disoriented. She took in her surroundings and rubbed a tired hand over her eyes.
Not bothering to ring for the servants that had been provided for her, she took the time to clean and dress herself, brushing her long blonde hair until it shown like gold and flowed free around her back and shoulders.
She eyed a bowl of fruit sitting on the table before selecting some grapes to munch on. She noticed the sun was out and decided to take a walk in the gardens. Taking up a light cloak, she draped it around her shoulders and quietly slipped from her chambers. Sirus' door was closed, so she assumed he was still sleeping and went on her way.
Wintervine Castle Gardens
The gardens were beautifully done up and she inhaled deeply, absorbing the myriad of scents surrounding her with a small smile on her face. She turned her face up to the sun, allowing its rays to warm her chilled skin. A raucous sound caught her attention and her eyes snapped open. She spotted Francois sitting upon the head of a statue and she smiled warmly.
"Good morning, my friend." she greeted him, reaching up to run gentle fingers over his feathered head. He croaked at her in return. She took a couple of grapes from her hand to feed to him, getting a gentle nip at her fingers in thanks before he flew off to do whatever it is he liked to do.
Smiling, she continued her leisurely morning stroll, stopping every few moments to pick a flower until she had a nice bouquet for her rooms. She found a stone bench among a leaf canopy and sat down. She closed her eyes for a moment before allowing her wings to sprout free to soak up the sun's rays.
The happy sound of horses hooves coming closer, could be heard as the white horse, and the massive clysdale had both gotten free from the stable, much to the annoyance of a young stable hand, who chased the two horses all the way down to the castle gardens. His cries for the horses to come back only made them wihnnie, as though laughing, and soon the two horses came through the gardens to where Tempest was sitting on a stone bench beneath a leafy canopy. The white horse spotted the raven taking flight and with her tail high, she pranced off after it, as the massive draught horse stood in front of the Princess, and snorted its hot breath down on her. It's not every day you have a horse practically dripping saliva on you, in such an ideal setting as this. If Tempest were to open her eyes, she was in for a huge shock.
The white horse had no luck finding the raven, who the horse as Willow had a massive crush on, and came trotting back, finally turning into the White witch, in all her finery.
"Figgity Gibbets. He had to fly off on me. That's the fourth time. I swear he is playing hard to get he is. Oh…hello Princess. Isn't it a lovely day?" She would say, picking up a wild flower and starting to eat the petals. Willow sat herself down on the stone bench and clasped her hands together, ready for some gossip.
"Soooo…has he popped the question yet?"
The sound of horse hooves caught her attention and her eyes snapped open, her wings vanishing back into her body in rapid succession. The white mare and the large clydsdale, whom she knew to be Willow and Gertie in their other forms, stepped into the clearing. Willow turned quickly, spotting something that fascinated her and took off at a canter while Gertie stood over Tempest, her hot breath ruffling the material of her dress and the flowers in her hands.
"And good morning to you, Gertie." Tempest chuckled, sliding away from the string of drool slowly falling from Gertie's mouth, with a small shudder.
Willow returned, switching to human form as she did so and moved to sit beside Tempest on the bench. Tempest had her mouth open, ready to let Willow know that she had just sat in a puddle of horse spit when Willow began speaking, cutting her off.
"Figgity Gibbets. He had to fly off on me. That's the fourth time. I swear he is playing hard to get he is. Oh…hello Princess. Isn't it a lovely day?" The scatterbrained witch grinned, picking up a flower and munching on the petals, much to Tempest's amusement.
"Good morning, Willow." Tempest giggled.
"Soooo…has he popped the question yet?"
Tempest did a double-take. "What? What do you mean?" she gaped. Had the White Witch been privy to the young woman's thoughts? It was as if Willow had plucked it from her head and she was shocked. Willow seemed to give her a look and Tempest sighed. "Well…no. So much has happened, I don't know if I'm ready to marry him. I find myself falling deeper in love with him every day and though we have been together for most of the year…do we truly know each other? What if there are things about me he doesn't like? What if there are things about him I don't like? How can we be married faced with those kinds of odds?" she wondered, voicing some of her hidden thoughts out in the open for anyone listening to hear. "He makes me feel things I've never felt before. I get all flushed and tingly and my stomach ties itself in knots when he kisses me. Never had that happen before. I've seen love destroy an entire family because its Head loved too hard. I don't want that to happen between Sirus and I." She looked down at her hands. "I just want to be assured that what he feels for me is genuine and not out of some sense of obligation or duty to his crown."
"What if..what if..what if?! Listen to yourself. On the one hand you are saying he puts butterflies in your stomach, and ties up your hair in knots." Willow the white was getting it all backward, but her sentiment was spot on. "Then on the other….you are all worried that you don't really know him after..-cough- a year? I have seen people fall in love at the very first sight." Willow was not used to having the floor to speak her mind. Many would shove a bouquet of flowers in her mouth, to shut her up. Her heart was in the right place….just her head was not always screwed on.
"I thought a marriage between man and wife was about compromise. Not any two people like the same things to a T. If they did, they would be totally boring and bland as last weeks cheese." She chuckled and piked another wild flower, toying with it."It's our differences that keep the spark of love alive." Willow finished with, offering Gertie, the Clydesdale her wild flower, which Gertie accepted and started to munch on.
Just then, Sirus emerged through the gardens after meeting with his Mother, Arianna, and had in his pocket, the gift of the necklace that could tell a person if the wearer was ready to marry. He saw that only one of the White witches was in true form, and he had to wonder what they were doing with Tempest. Perhaps they were listening to her plight about the sadness she had after leaving behind her own realm.
"I see that you are in good company, Princess." Sirus said, leaning against a tree and watching the trio with marked interest. Willow gave him a cheesy grin.
"Was just telling the Princess about how marrying…" At this, Gertie snorted a loud load of snot at Willlow, like she was worlessly trying to tell the wayward Willow to keep out of Sirus and Tempest's relationship. With the foul green goo on her face and dress, Willow rose and then headed off for her own chambers, to wash. Gertie trotted along after her, leaving the Prince alone with Tempest, and he started to slide his hand out of his pocket, producing the necklace his mother had given him.
"I am glad I found you, Princess. There is something I wanted to give you." He brought his hand forward, and placed the necklace in Tempest's hands. "Go on…try it on."

It was the 4th of November 2011 and I was hopping onto a south-bound Mumbai Local clutching all 1,349 pages of my copy of A suitable boy. Somewhere else in Bombay, the writer of the tome in my hands, was making his way to the same destination- the National Centre for Performing Arts( NCPA) where he was going to talk about his latest release – The Rivered Earth. I highly doubt that he was as excited as I was. If you're a Vikram Seth fan, occasions such as these, where you can breathe the same air as a legend, are excuse enough to behave like a fevered bunny on good quality cocaine.
How much do I love Vikram Seth? Let me count the ways.
He's a genius, for one. It's not everyone who can learn German from scratch in six months flat. I moved to India at the malleable age of eight. I'm twenty four now and friends still laugh openly (and rather cruelly) at my Hindi and Gujarati. He's well-read and knowledgeable. Which other Economics Major speaks with such ease and familiarity of the poet George Herbert? He's also a man of wide interests, Schubertian Music, of all things, being one of them.
Braininess aside, he's ridiculously brisk and lovely in demeanour and bearing. When he strode out from the wings at the NCPA that day, he looked more enthusiastic maths professor less writer and I mean that in a good way, which says a lot, considering I hate math. Through his address, he made himself more endearing with every word. He wagged his finger at the audience; he read out loud in a terrific booming voice, he sprang up from his seat more than once to point things out on the projector, his bald head shone with intelligence. He used delightfully English-sounding phrases like "you lot," and "oh dear" and my desi soul, reared on a steadfast diet of Enid Blyton revelled in it.
Next, (here, I reference A Suitable Boy) he can flesh out characters from four family trees plus some, cover three Indian cities and countless towns, weave a narrative that is as easy as the circumstances it describes are not and still write a novel that doesn't lose pace for a single second. It's testimony to the genius of the book that I cry bitterly all through Mrs Mahesh Kapoors funeral just after I've laughed out loud at the antics of the Chatterjee clan. His other work has moved me too. When pangs of homesickness came to my hostel bed at the age of 19, I'd call on from memory, All you who sleep tonight to stop me from missing my mother.
But the reason du jour? As a writer, he doesn't take the easy way out. It took me a summer holiday to finish A suitable boy which is a ridiculously short time compared to the seven years it took to get written. And why?
"I wanted, of course to tell a good story, but I also wanted to get things right. No matter how well a novel is received by readers and critics in general, if it does not ring true with those people who knew from the inside the world it describes, it is in the final analysis, an artistic failure."- Vikram Seth, Two Lives.
And so it was that everything in A suitable boy was researched to death, from whether St. Stephens, Delhi had female students in the 1940s to how the credit market for a small shoemaker in Agra would work. All this for fiction.
I stood in line to get my book signed at the NCPA that day and I watched as Seth handled everything like a boss. With the energy of a very young man, he smiled at cameras, talked to the press, made small jokes and signed books all in a blur. My A suitable boy now has an inscription on the front page. "To Sheena, Vikram Seth." And he meant every word.
– Sheena

This is a theory which basically asserts that nothing good ever comes from a White Minivan.
When you notice that the flow of traffic is inexplicably interrupted, just look ahead, and discover for yourself that invariably the source of the hold up is a White Minivan.
Examples demonstrate it best:
Stopped in the carpool lane while the cars in every other lane whoosh by with the speed of light? Try to look beyond the gigantic SUV in front of you and see who's at the head of the line – bet it's a White Minivan.
Have you ever found yourself humming with the flow of freeway traffic when out of nowhere comes that White Minivan from the fast lane who's just realized it's about to miss the off-ramp it needs in an 1/8th of a mile, as you speechlessly witness it cut off all 4 lanes of traffic (including your own and the semi's) just in time to make that exit, and with 1/16th of a mile to spare?
Stopped at a signal, sandwiched in with mouth agape, when the White Minivan in front of you backs up straight into your front bumper with its projecting trailer hitch (leaving a very un-aerodynamic hole in its wake) because it didn't think anyone was behind it and it wanted to turn around without driving around the block? (And yes, I've actually had this happen).
All observational research thus far supports the belief that this theory applies to large White Vans and most White SUVs as well.
Theory Footnote: White Minivans typically run in packs with other minivans, and they tend to herd or congregate around school parking lots and the shopping centers of suburbia. These suburban parking lot gatherings take on a surreal life of their own (not far from Stepford) in an asphalt dimension I call the "Land of the Minivan".

The bulk of this article is taken from the next to last chapter of my as yet unpublished book Thirty True Things Everyone Needs to Know Now (TTT). The final section of that chapter is included here, but I encourage you to click this link and also read the first three sections of the chapter.
The Case for Kindness
Christians have not always been kind to one another. The Catholic inquisitions of the Middle Ages, in which people designated as heretics were hunted down and executed, are infamous. Enmity and strife between Protestants and Catholics existed from the beginning of the Reformation, and Protestants began killing other Protestants as early as 1527.
Although there have not been religious wars in this country, still among Christian denominations and even within national and local churches often there has been harshness, incivility, and unkindness.
All of this is woefully contradictory to a challenging Biblical admonition: "Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."
Instead of being tough-minded and tender-hearted, too many Christians have too often been tender-minded and hard-hearted.
One of my favorite contemporary Christian authors has written a book titled Generous Orthodoxy. That is a good emphasis when it comes to theology; Christian thinkers need to be accepting and magnanimous rather than being mean-spirited and unkind.
The same is true for Christian believers of all kinds—and for adherents of others religions as well—as we seek to live out our faith. We need to be generous and open-minded in our evaluation of others rather than being critical and judgmental.
In a recent translation, 1 Peter 3:8 admonishes, "Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions." These are good words to consider, and hard words to put into practice consistently.
But when we are tempted to say, or even think, critical words about other people, we need to recall this injunction to be sympathetic, loving, and compassionate.
When I was a freshman in college, I bought a little book titled Everyday Religion. I profited from reading that book then as a young man and I found it delightfully helpful when I read through it again a few years ago.
The first chapter is "When We Really Live," and I have remembered through the years how the author says that we really live when, among other things, we know how to be "a little kinder than necessary every day."
So when we start to be harsh and judgmental in evaluation of others, or ourselves, let's remember these words and try, indeed, to be a little kinder than necessary. If we can do that, we will find that everyone will be better off.
Denouncing Anti-Semitism
Although not a part of the 29th chapter of TTT, last Saturday's mass murder of Jews in Pittsburgh prompts me to reflect on how Christians, among others, have often not been kind, to say the least, toward Jewish people.
Although religious differences are real—and important—nothing can justify mistreatment of other people because of their religion or ethnicity.
This article is being posted on the morning before Reformation Day, which commemorates the beginning of the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther. Sadly, though, Luther's judgmental and condemnatory words about the Jewish people have had a lasting negative impact on many Protestant Christians.
Please join me in sending condolences to those who are grieving in Pittsburgh, in denouncing all forms of anti-Semitism, and in pledging to be as kind as possible to all people, regardless of their religion (or lack thereof) or ethnicity.

Two goals from Lima helped SL Benfica post a 2-0 win against SC Olhanense that secured the club's 33rd Portuguese Liga title with two games to spare.
The day promised to be a happy one for the sell-out crowd at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, with fans confident they would see their side defeat the championship's bottom team and claim a first crown since 2009/10, having finished runners-up for the last three seasons. However, Olhanense did not make things easy, defending resolutely and keeping danger at bay until half-time.
The visitors' resistance crumbled in the second period, though, and Lima broke the deadlock on 57 minutes, reacting first to push the ball past Vid Belec after the goalkeeper had parried Nicolás Gaitán's shot. Three minutes later, the Brazilian striker surged down the right and broke into the area to fire through Belec's legs, sparking scenes of wild jubilation inside the ground.
"I think this is the highlight of my career, especially because of the two goals I scored," said Lima, whose side moved an insurmountable seven points clear of Sporting Clube de Portugal. "I'm very happy. It was a well-deserved title and now we are going to celebrate with the fans."
"It's wonderful," added captain Luisão. "Only those who live with this club on a daily basis know what this means. The start of the season was difficult, but the president believed and that was important. This crowd is amazing. I have no words to describe the support the fans gave us. It took a while to celebrate, but we deserve it."
Benfica assistant coach Raúl José was similarly enthusiastic. "We played a great game," he said. "We always tried to get forward in search of a goal and we won fair and square. We missed three or four goals, but in the end we achieved our objective. Now we are going to celebrate. It was a demonstration of great quality and character, but now it's time to celebrate with the fans."
As for Sporting, they secured second spot and qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League with a 1-0 win at CF Os Belenenses on Saturday. Estoril Praia in fourth and CD Nacional a place further back also ensured European football next term, with a draw and win respectively on Saturday clinching access to the UEFA Europa League.

Do you text any of your high school teachers 15 years after graduation? Drake does.
A former teacher congratulated him on breaking the Beatles' record for the most top 10 Billboard Hot 100 songs in a year.
Drake posted the recent exchange on Instagram, writing: "My favorite teacher in high school still texts me as if I am coming to class this week and I love her for that."
The accomplishment in question refers to Drake's collaboration with Bad Bunny. Their song "Mia" debuted at #5 on the chart, which also extended Drake's record for the most top 10s among solo males.

- Name five dangerous weather-related conditions. G
ive the safety rules for each when outdoors and explain the difference be
tween a severe weather watch and a warning. Discuss the safety rules with your family.
- Explain the difference between high- and low-pressure systems in the atmosphere. Tell which is related to good and to poor weather. Draw cross sections of a cold front and a warm front, showing the location and movements of the cold and warm air, the frontal slope, the location and types of clouds associated with each type of front, and the location of precipitation.
- Tell what causes wind, why it rains, and how lightning and hail are formed.

I am aware of the silliness of my feelings, nevertheless, they exist and I just can't help it. Not one man has ever even hinted that it bothers him. It really bothers me, I guess. I can't hide the pump in my tiny bra, honest. I would never hide to bolus or even give my self an injection. I am not ashamed of my diabetes. I find it difficult to deal with when it is actually, suddenly pulled out because I've gotten "too busy" to remember it's in or whatever reason. I does get in the way, at times.

This really does taste as good as it looks! A caramel slice with the decadent addition of Eta Crunchy Peanut, it doesn't get any better. If you are looking for a treat for the lunchbox or a special occasion this is the recipe for you. Enjoy!
These won't last long as one is never enough! We've put a tasty twist on these traditional cookies, rolling them in finely chopped almonds. You get a lovely crunchy texture on the outside and a delicious nutty flavour that goes perfectly with the drop of Craig's jam.
With just four ingredients this slice is so simple to make and it's a twist on the traditional bacon and egg pie. For the perfect mouthful every time simply spread tomato sauce directly onto the base before cooking. For tomato sauce lovers don't forget to serve extra on the side!
This delicious shortcake is stunning as a hot dessert, served with ice cream or custard, or cooled and sliced for afternoon tea. You'll be making this one time and time again.
It's hard to resist a tasty savoury scone. These ones are light, fluffy and full of flavour. Perfect for a morning tea, served warm with a generous spread of butter. The combination of Wattie's Cream Style Corn, cheese and bacon are a winning combination.
Is it a doughnut or a muffin? We'll let you decide but what we can tell you is that they taste amazing! With our interpretation you get the taste of a jam filled doughnut but without all the hassle. Best enjoyed warm but trust us they won't last long!
This upside cake makes the most of the intense flavour and colour of Wattie's Black Doris Plums, beautifully displayed on top when turned out. We love to serve it with Greek-style yoghurt, which goes perfectly with the flavours of the cinnamon and plums.
Bursting with sweet peach and tangy lemon flavours, this flan is our pick for a go-to dessert this summer. With only 4 ingredients it's super easy and looks impressive. Trust us, the guests won't be disappointed with a slice (or two!) of this.

Google Kills Authorship in SERPs after Realising It Wasn't Useful
Search Engine giants Google have made a number of changes to how their organic search engine results are displayed over recent years, introducing schema mark-up, authorship and the much discussed implementation of revenue generating 'information' boxes such as those seen on credit card searches.
Well it seems that although the changes were thought to be made to improve the user experience, Google have established that sometimes the changes that they make simply don't improve the experience that their users have while using their search engine, taking a bold step backwards as they announced that they were switching off the authorship feature after they realised that "this information isn't as useful to our users" as they had hoped.
With a retraction of authorship information seeming to have been a gradual process following the removal of author pictures from the SERPs previously, the next step was to eliminate the authorship name element from the results and Google's John Mueller explained that the changes were more than simply UI based, stating that Google were "no longer processing this information".
When asked about whether the latest development would mean that Google Plus related stories would now reduce within the results of those that hold you within their 'circles', Mueller explained that the removal of authorship would not affect the appearance of Google Plus results within the closed community that follow a specific person or brand, the change was more focused towards the search engine results of their main users.
Although Google have taken a step back away from authorship being present within their organic results, they have continued to display their 'sponsored' boxes within the SERPs for search queries that allow them to further increase their revenues, such as this one that is displayed when a user searches for "credit card".
Questions are now being asked whether the changes could be spark the reduction of popularity for Google's Plus platform as the search giants remove the reason that some many users initially created their account and that is still to be seen.

| 11.1°C Dublin
Irish teenagers may be drinking less, but their parents are still among the heaviest drinkers in developed countries.
A new report by the OECD examining hazardous drinking has found that the number of Irish 15-year-olds experimenting with alcohol has dropped.
In 2010, 35pc of 15-year-olds had tried alcohol, compared with 43pc in 2002.
While alcohol consumption in Ireland has fallen slightly in recent years, we are still the fourth-largest consumer of alcohol per head of population among 40 countries surveyed by the OECD.
When it comes to heavy drinking we are behind only Estonia, Austria and France.
The Irish consumed an average of 11.6 litres of pure alcohol in 2012 - the equivalent of more than 100 bottles of wine or 200 litres of beer. This compares with an average across OECD countries of just over nine litres and a world average of just over six litres.
Preliminary estimates from the Revenue Commissioners indicate that last year saw a further slight fall to 11 litres per capita. However, we are still markedly ahead of other countries when it comes to alcohol use.
The report, 'Tackling Harmful Alcohol Use' which was published yesterday, also found there was a marked difference between men and women when it came to problem drinking. While men who were less educated and with a low socio-economic status were more likely to engage in "risky drinking", the opposite was true when it came to women. Women who were better educated and with a higher socio-economic status were more likely to indulge in heavy drinking.
In the case of Ireland, such women were twice as likely to be problem drinkers than their less-educated counterparts.
While different countries adopt different definitions of what constitutes 'hazardous' drinking, in Ireland it is defined as 17 drinks a week for a man and 11 drinks a week for a woman.
One of the report's authors, health policy analyst Marion Devaux, said greater female labour force participation and greater professional equality have exposed more women to the same work environments and social pressures to drink as men.
Health Minister Leo Varadkar yesterday said Ireland has a "serious problem" with both drinking too much and binging on alcohol.
"The damaging dominance of a harmful drinking pattern remains very high by European standards and is a major public health concern," he told the Seanad.
He said the Government plans to have the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill brought before the Oireachtas in the autumn to bring in measures including minimum unit pricing to eliminate very cheap alcohol from stores.
He said they were examining research and were in discussions on what a minimum unit price might be.
Commenting on the report, Conor Cullen, head of advocacy at Alcohol Action Ireland, said while the reduction in the number of Irish teenagers drinking was welcome, 35pc was still too high and young people were modelling their drinking on the actions of the adults.
"The reported 5pc decrease in the number of 15-year-olds who had experienced alcohol between 2002 and 2010 is a welcome one, though we should be careful not to celebrate the fact that almost four in 10 children in this country have consumed alcohol by the time they reach 15.
"There is a consistent trend for drunkenness among young Irish people, a trend that sets them apart from the majority of their European counterparts," he added.

Ever since I entered my mid-twenties, I've noticed how I can look really tired because of my dark eye circles and eye bags.
The first step for me was to tighten and lift the skin of my undereye area with Ultherapy®. This treatment utilised focused ultrasound and my body's own natural healing process to not only tighten, but also lift and tone loose skin of my undereye area.
With Dr. Terence Tan at Halley Medical Aesthetics
I was informed that the results from Ultherapy do take at least two to three months to show, so for a more instant improvement to my undereye area (and also taking into account my undereye condition), Dr. Terence Tan from Halley Medical Aesthetics also prescribed a treatment that coupled a threadlift with dermal fillers for the undereye area.
Is it Necessary for Both the Threadlift and Dermal Fillers?
Intently listening to the prescribed treatment during my consultation with Dr. Terence Tan
After all, with Ultherapy, Threadlift, and Dermal Fillers, that's three different procedures to solve a single concern. Isn't less more?
In my case, due to my sunken tear trough, minimally I'd still need dermal fillers to counter the loss of volume and plump up the hollow area underneath my eyes.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are an injectable solution made of medically safe ingredients that can help fill up soft tissues under our skin. It's typically used for sculpting of the face, adding definition and restoring facial contours giving rise to a more youthful appearance.
The most popular type of fillers is hyaluronic acid fillers since hyaluronic acid is a natural compound already found in the body. Already popularised by countless skincare companies, most people are also aware of it's benefits to our skin. It hydrates and volumizes skin.
In terms of eye rejuvenation, dermal fillers are really effective in smoothening fine lines, filling the undereye hollow and also camouflage the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
I was introduced to the Belotero range of dermal fillers
In my case, I was recommended the Belotero® range of dermal fillers. Two types of the Belotero dermal fillers – Belotero® Soft and Belotero® Intense were used to minimise the appearance of my fine lines and create a natural looking result. In addition, the Belotero fillers were less likely to result in the Tyndall effect, a bluish hue that can be seen under the skin due to light reflecting off the injected filler that sits superficially under the skin.
Dr. Tan is extremely jovial and friendly and that makes it easier to ask him questions on the treatment
For the best effect, a threadlift finally not just enhances the results but also provides added support to the treated undereye area.
What's a Threadlift?
Threadlifts are minimally invasive treatments that are done to tighten the skin, contour and rejuvenate the face, neck and eye area. It can even be used to enhance the shape of the nose.
During the procedure, threads with cone-like anchors are inserted under the skin and act as scaffolds to lift sagging skin. These threads also stimulate the skin over time to produce collagen for a long-lasting and natural-looking lift. No incisions are made and no stitches are necessary. The threads are eventually fully absorbed by the body.
Dr. Tan explaining how the Derma Spring Eye threadlift would help
Dr. Terence Tan used N-finders' Derma Spring Eye PDO (polydioxanone) threads on me.
These threads have been specially designed for the eye area and it has a special micro-cannula which enhances comfort. The cannula inserts the thread by gently pushing aside the skin, greatly minimising the risk of bruising and bleeding.
The benefits of the threadlift for my undereye area was apparent after the consultation
The PDO threads not only contours the skin, it also stimulates collagen production so that the skin gets a natural-looking lift over time, and lipolysis which leads to the reduction of fats under the eye. This is super effective for removing dark eye circles, wrinkles and sagging around the eyes.
What Was The Treatment Experience Like?
Injecting Belotero Soft into my upper cheek area
Dr. Terence Tan not only plumped up my sunken tear trough with the Belotero Intense. He also explained that the sunken appearance was also due to a loss of volume at my upper cheek area and injected Belotero Soft to create a fuller, more youthful look.
The dermal fillers were easy breezy and I expected that as much. I had a bit more apprehension towards the threadlift initially.
Here's how the threadlift process looks like
Turns out my fears were really unfounded. The micro-cannula must have helped, because I hardly felt any discomfort and the threads were quickly and expertly inserted under the skin of my undereye area. It was much quicker than I expected.
I was pretty much zoning out; The Derma Spring Eye treatment was quite painless
The Derma Spring Eye threadlift
Did the Treatment Work?
Post-treatment and reviewing the results
We were sure to take photos each step of the way to see how the fillers and threadlift helped build towards the final effect!
Seeing the instant improvements with each treatment
Sure enough, the photos showed satisfying results after the filler and then even further improvement instantly with the threadlift.
Amazing progressive results with each treatment targeting my undereye area
It's very obvious to me how the results have progressively improved my overall appearance. It's so incredible how just rejuvenating the eye area with the Ultherapy along with dermal fillers and threadlift can help make me look so lively and youthful.
How Much Does It Cost?
The treatment cost for Belotero Intense is $780, Belotero Soft is $690, and Derma Spring Eye is $950. The total cost of the treatment is $2,420 (includes GST).
As each individual's needs will be different, it's best to consult with Dr. Terence Tan on what you'll need to achieve the best results for your situation as well!

Antwerp. A very strange name, but very important. I will tell you that this beautiful city of Belgium is considered a "polo fashion" and "world capital of diamonds". Do you know who has its headquarters there? No less than Tiffany & Co. I was always so curious to go there because in addition to that, the old part of the city is famous and i'm crazy for Belgian chocolates! Until one of these comings and goings around the world, I took a train in Brussels and in less than an hour I was down at the Central Station. Suffice it to say that it was elected in 2014 as the most beautiful in the world.
From the station walk toward the center of town. You will pass by the Meir, main shopping street, take the time to buy some chocolate candies and don't forget to take a break to eat the most famous waffle of the city at the Coffee Go.
The city is one of the largest in Belgium. It has around 500 thousand inhabitants and its port is one of the largest in the world, on the banks of the Scheldt river. However, it is not that big, you can venture through its alleys on foot. However, don't be such a misguided tourists like me, who was walking aimlessly, and when I realized it, I was in the middle of the Red Light District surrounded with girls in the windows, as in Amsterdam. I must confess that I was not aware of its existence. It was a total surprise in the path.
If you like museums, visit the Momu totally dedicated to fashion; go to the house where Rubens lived, one of the great baroque painters of the seventeenth century, now a museum that houses many of his works; and do not miss the MAS (Aan de Stroom Museum), a museum of modern architecture that shows the connections of Antwerp with the world and has a terrace from where you can see the city from above. From above see the silhouette of the Cathedral of Our Lady. It has an interesting peculiarity, it took many years to be completed and even so, the second tower, which should be equal to the first, was halved.
The highest point of the city is the Grote Markt, the old central square. The architecture is a treasure. One building more beautiful than the other surrounding the statue of Brabo which is attached to a local legend. It is said that there was a giant who charged a certain amount to those who wanted to cross the river, whoever refused had their hands cut by the giant and thrown into the river. Until a young man named Brabo defeated him! Cut off the hands of the giant and threw them into the river.
Did you like Antwerp? Fashion, history, chocolates, legend, diamonds, architecture, and museums. A cute city that deserves a visit.
Since Easter is right around the corner, I wish you all a super sweet week!
Bom dia Cláudia!!! Lindíssima cidade, apaixonante. Eu também amo chocolates, me esbaldaria rsrsrs. Adorei a curiosidade sobre a lenda, gosto de lugares com histórias populares, deixam o lugar mais atraente e fascinante, pois trazem a beleza de atravessar o tempo entre mitos e verdades. Ótima semana. Beijos!
@Denise Freitas, Oi Denise. Essa cidade foi uma bela surpresa para mim. É um encanto. Essa praça é magnífica. Beijos
Nossa, estou maravilhada com as paisagens. Existem tantos pontos turísticos no mundo que não são famosos.
Antuérpia aí vamos nós!!!
@Testa pra Mim, Pois é. Existem lugares incríveis e pouco conhecidos. A Antuérpia é um deles. Beijo
I really loved this post can wait to start travelling especially within Europe
@josephine, Good luck, Josephine. :)

This Post details the daily power consumption data for the AEMO coverage area in Australia. For the background information, refer to the Introductory Post at this link.
Each image is shown here at a smaller size to fit on the page alongside the data for that day. If you click on each image, it will open on a new page and at a larger size so you can better see the detail.
Note also the scale change for some of the images. That scale (the total power shown on the left hand axis) has been changed to show the graph at a larger size.
Thursday 11th October 2018
Total Power Generation All Sources
Here, the black line across the top of the graph shows the total power generation from every source. This is also similar to the total power consumption, which is slightly lower after minor grid losses are taken into account.
The dark grey colour is for the black coal fired power generation. The yellowish colour is for the brown coal fired power generation. The purple colour is for natural gas fired power generation. The blue colour is for Hydro (water) power generation. The green colour is for wind power generation. The red colour in the dip between the two peaks is for solar power plant generation. Rooftop solar power is not included on this graph, as this shows just the power generation from all power plants only.
In the data below, both of those (exact) figures for total power consumption for the daily minimum and the daily Peak are taken directly from the AEMO site, adding up the totals for each of the five States in this coverage area. Also, note the slight difference between Total Consumed Power and Total Generated Power. That indicates some of the losses in the grid system
Daily Minimum Power Consumption – 18300MW
Daily Peak Power Consumption – 24400MW
Daily Minimum Generated Power – 18600MW
Daily Maximum Generated Power – 24900MW
Average Total Power Generation – 22000MW
Total Power Generation In GWH – 528GWH
All Fossil Fuels Total – Coal Fired and Natural Gas Fired Power Generation
Here, the upper black line is the total from all fossil fuels, and this is the same as the blue line in the image directly above.
The black line just under that top black line is the Sub Total just for coal fired power. Note here how closely that coal fired line follows the shape of the upper Load Curve, and this indicates that coal fired power can be ramped up and down to follow actual power consumption.
Daily Minimum Coal Fired – 14010MW
Daily Peak Coal Fired – 17500MW
Average Coal Fired Generation – 16310MW
Total Generated Power – 391.44GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 74.14%
Natural Gas Fired Power Generation
This image for Natural Gas Fired Power Generation shows the gap between the total for all Fossil Fuelled Sources of power generation and Coal Fired Power Generation in the image directly above.
Note here how closely the shape follows the total power generation Load Curve in the top image, indicating how these natural gas fired plants are used to smooth out the load curve to match actual power consumption.
Note also that while coal fired power provides the bulk of the power, these natural gas fired plants are used to add more power to the system during those time periods during the day when consumption rises for the morning peak, and the main evening Peak
Daily Minimum – 580MW
Daily Peak – 2500MW
Average Natural Gas Fired Generation – 1270MW
Total Generated Power – 30.48GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 5.77%
All Renewable Power Generation Versus Total Power Generation
This Image shows just the gap between total power generation from every source and the total power from renewable sources only. It is the same image as the first image at the top here, only with the fossil fuelled total (the grey, yellow and purple colours) removed from the graph, As in that top image, it shows Hydro Power, (blue colour) wind power, (green colour) and solar power. (red colour) This image is used here to highlight the gap between the total power generation and the total from renewable sources alone.
All Renewable Power Generation (Does not include rooftop solar generation)
This image is the same as for the one directly above for all renewable power, only with the total from all sources removed from the graph. As the scale of the left hand vertical axis has now changed, you can better see the detail of all renewable power. Again, the blue colour is for hydro, the green colour is for wind, and the red colour is for solar. The other colours you can just make out indicates smaller plants, mostly using biofuels as their fuel source, tiny plants adding up to a very small total and for a short time duration. For this data, I have added the times for the daily minimum, and the daily maximum, to show how they do not correlate with the actual times of minimum power consumption (4AM) and maximum power consumption. (around 6/6.30PM)
Daily Minimum – 3100MW
Daily Peak – 5200MW
Average Renewable Generation – 3890MW
Total Generated Power – 93.36GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 17.68%
Generation From Other Sources
This image shows the power being generated from the seven smaller sources other than the major sources of power generation. These include Natural Gas/Diesel, Natural gas/Fuel Oil, Coal Seam Methane, Diesel, Kerosene, Waste Coal Mine Gas and Bagasse. All of these are fossil Fuels, excepting Bagasse which is sugar cane waste mostly used to provide main and auxilliary power at sugar mills.
Note the scale change here, as these are smaller producers of power, and the scale is changed so they can be more easily shown on the graph.
For the data here, I have just added the average generation across the day, the total generated power from all these sources, and the percentage of the total.
Average Generation – 530MW
Total Generated Power – 12.72GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 2.41%
Hydro Power Generation
This image shows all Hydro power generation. It is the same as the orange line in the top image for power generation from all sources.
Again, note here that the shape of this load curve follows the shape of the main load curve for all power generation, in that it has similar peaks in the morning and for the man evening Peak. The coloured lines at the bottom of this graph indicate the power generation from each of the hydro plants in this coverage area.
Daily Minimum – 1000MW
Daily Peak – 2960MW
Average Hydro Generation – 1540MW
Total Generated Power – 36.96GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 7%
Wind Power Generation
This image shows the total power generated by every wind plant in this vast coverage area. It is the same as for the purple coloured line in the image at the top showing generation from all sources.
The total Nameplate for all these wind plants is 5301MW.
Note that the shape of this load curve does not follow the shape of the main load curve for total power generation. Wind power generates its power only when the wind is blowing, hence it does not follow actual power consumption levels.
For this data, I have added the times for the daily minimum, and the daily maximum, to show how they do not correlate with the actual times of minimum power consumption (4AM) and maximum power consumption. (around 6/6.30PM)
Daily Minimum – 1150MW (11AM)
Daily Peak – 3120MW (12.30AM)
Average Wind Generation – 2090MW
Total Generated Power – 50.16GWH
Average Percentage Of Total – 9.5%
Solar Power Plant Generation
This image shows the total power generated from all the solar power plants in this coverage area. This is the same as for the red coloured line you can just see in that top image.
The total Nameplate for all these 25 solar plants is 1594MW.
Daily Minimum – Zero
Daily Peak – 750MW
Average Solar Plant Generation for hours of generation – 510MW (6.00AM till 6.30PM)
Average Solar Plant Generation across the whole 24 hour day – 260MW
Total Generated Power – 6.24GWH
Average Percentage Of Total across the whole 24 hour day – 1.18%
Rooftop Solar Power Generation
As this source of power generation is classed as 'behind the meter', it is not included in the total power generation. Note here that the State of Queensland (QLD on the legend under the graph) is broken down into four separate areas as this is the largest State with the largest number of installations.
While the total Nameplate changes often, the latest information is that the total is now 7800MW, and that is a large total. However, that total equates to 1.8 Million homes with panels on their roof. That equates to an average sized installation of 4.3KW. Most of the power is consumed by the homes with the panels, and what is fed back to the grid, while seemingly still high is spread across that huge number of installations across the whole of this coverage area.
Daily Minimum – Zero
Daily Peak – 3140MW
Average For Hours of Generation – 1790MW (6.00AM till 7PM)
Average Rooftop Solar Generation across the whole 24 hour day – 970MW
Total Generated Power – 23.28GWH
Average Percentage Of Total across the whole 24 hour day – 4.41%
- Finding Averages – On each graph there are 25 hourly time points, starting with midnight and finishing with midnight. I have added the total at each time point together, and divided by 25. For coal fired power, I do this on a State by State basis (for the 3 States with coal fired power) and then add the total for each State together.
- For both solar power averages, I have used the same addition of hourly time points and then divided by the same number of those time points of actual generation.
- For total power in GWH, multiply the average daily power by 24, and then divide by 1000.
- The total percentages for coal fired power, natural gas fired power, all renewables, and those other smaller sources add up to 100%.
- The total percentages for Hydro, Wind, and Solar adds up to the total percentage for all Renewables.
- Total Generated Power is expressed here as GWH (GigaWattHours) and a GWH is a MWH (MegaWattHour) multiplied by 1000
Comments For This Day
On this day, there was the most minor of changes when compared with the day before, the slightest fall of only 100MW in the hourly average for power required to run the Country. The minimum power consumption was slightly higher, and the peak at 6.30PM was exactly the same, which is amazing considering the size and spread of power consumption across five States and around 20 million people. Even though the consumption data was so close to what it was the day before, as is usual, the mix changed across those many sources of power generation.
The average for coal fired power was higher by around 400MW, at 16310MW, from a low of 13280MW to a high of 17570MW, again showing that coal fired power is not as rigid in its power generation as some would try and have you believe, and that variation of more than 4000MW across the fleet of coal fired plants. (huh, if 16 coal fired plants can be referred to as a 'fleet') It shows that the output can be varied on an hourly basis, and that means that individual Units are indeed ramping up and down, contrary to the fable that coal fired power cannot be changed to meet the changes in consumption. There are still ten of those coal fired Units off line.
The average for natural gas fired power was only up by 20MW, and the average for hydro power was up by 220MW, which reflects changes in the different States, as some States have a larger proportion of hydro power (Tasmania) and some States have lesser amounts of available hydro power. (Queensland)
Note here that the power generated by those Other sources is higher on this day than it has been since I started doing this task the second time around, when I began including that data. All but one of those seven sources is a fossil fuelled source, and while only a minor source of power generation spread across those five States, note here that it generates more than double the power of every Solar power plant in the Country, so while those other sources are considered only as minor, and of no real impact, their impact is considerably higher than that of the source which does get a lot of attention, Solar plant power.
The average for wind power was down on this day by 770MW, again emphasising its variability. That average of 2090MW gave wind power a daily operational Capacity Factor of 39%.
Even in the Months when power consumption is so much lower, and more coal fired Units are off line, note here how coal fired power still delivers almost three quarters of all the required power.
Anton Lang uses the screen name of TonyfromOz, and he writes at this site, PA Pundits International on topics related to electrical power generation, from all sources, concentrating mainly on Renewable Power, and how the two most favoured methods of renewable power generation, Wind Power and all versions of Solar Power, fail comprehensively to deliver levels of power required to replace traditional power generation.
