The Science|Business Roundtable "The Energy Difference - Accelerating Energy Innovation" took place on 11 March 2011 at the Representation of the German state of Baden-Württemberg to the European Union in Brussels.
Energy R&D has some fundamental characteristics that sets it apart from that in other technology sectors. The installed base of assets means it’s difficult and costly for alternative technologies to compete. And despite the risk and huge outlays for innovation, the final products – fuel and electricity – are largely undifferentiated. Research needs long horizons and planning certainty. Would a different policy approach help Europe meet the EC’s 2020 energy goals?

Journal challenge at HummiesWorld
Hi there Little One, its Yiayia
I know you’re not even thought of yet but hopefully one day we will get to meet each other and I know with absolute certainty that when that time arrives you will become the most precious gift I could ever imagine. From the moment you take your first breath and open your tiny eyes you will steal my heart and I promise to nurture, care for and shower you with all the love and affection you deserve.
You are probably wondering who I am so I’d better introduce myself properly before we go any further. I am your Moms Mother and I am hoping you will call me Yiayia, which is the Greek word for Grandmother. Let me explain….. Grandpa and I retired in 2006 and came to live in Crete where we built our own house. I tried to learn Greek but it is a difficult language and I only speak a few sentences. When I heard the children shouting out for their Yiayia’s I thought it sounded like a nice easy word to learn and if I was lucky enough to become one myself then that’s what I would like to be called.
When you arrive you will only be on loan to me occasionally but I will have lots of stories to tell you about our family, especially ones about Grandpa and me and how much we love each other, your Mom and now you too. We will learn new things together, play games, bake cakes, laugh and have fun and although I know the returns policy is ‘as new’ I hope I will encourage you to meet a challenge head on and to never give up the chance of a new experience.
There might be quiet times when we will sit and talk, sharing secrets that I promise never to tell, reading books together, slipping into a world of make believe but trust in me because I will always be here for you
I don’t know what the future has in store for you, I hope that I will be part of it in some small way and that its as perfect as can be but you must learn independence, follow your own dreams and make each moment count
All my love until we meet
yaaay,finally there is certainty: ....after months of building (more slow than fast *lol*) and stuff organized -JoHaDeZ- "Poetic Furniture" will reopen on Wednesday 10/17 2012 8pm MET / 11 PDT!
I'm looking happy forward....
This is one of the finest saws I have ever come across.
I cannot confirm the maker with absolute certainty, but the saw features a Warranted Superior medallion with the Disston keystone.
What is certain is that this saw was sold by the Supplee Hardware Co in Philadelphia. According to the etch this saw is "The Genuine and Original no 255" The etch is somewhat typical to American made Warranted saws. It features an eagle surrounded by two star spangled banners as well as the additional words:
"ROYAL STEEL
SPRING STEEL ~ WARRANTED
Patent Temper ~ Temper Ground"
The saw also has a secondary etch with the text:
"This saw was made specially for use of the most skilled Artisan. For quality style and finish it cannot be surpassed.
William H. Supplee"
I spotted this saw in an auction in the US and the handle looked so promising that I felt I had to place a bid. Luckily my small bid was enough.
But back to the origin of this saw. I'm quite sure this is a Disston made saw. But I have not been able to find a matching model in their catalogs or on disstonianinstitute.
The only official Disston model that comes close as far as the handle design is concerned, is the no 99, as designed from 1906 onwards:
www.disstonianinstitute.com/99page.html
I'm well aware of the fact that the no 99 was a straight back and mine is a skew back. So I'm not saying this is a no 99 in disguise. But the handles of the both saws are close matches.
Some of the Disston catalogs does include a short section of "Special saws etched to order". I don't have a complete collection of Disston catalogs, so I can't say if this saw is listed in one or several of them.
But I did spot an advertisement made b the Supple Hardware Co, where a saw very close to mine was listed:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1902-AD-Disston-Acme-Hand-Panel-Rip-Sa...
The only difference seems to be that the saw in the ad doesn't include wheat carving around the nuts.
As far as age goes, I firmly believe this saw was made rather early in the 20th century. Supplee Hardware merged with one Mr Biddle and became Supplee-Billdle Hardware Co in 1914. Although my saw doesn't feature the hardware company name, but only the signature of William H. Supplee, I think the saw could well have been made before 1914. The saw nuts have the narrow screw slots associated with earlier raised nuts. And the handle design is clearly more elegant and well rounded, something which also indicates an earlier design.
All in all this saw is a wonderful example of fine saw making. The spring steel is very hard and well tensioned. The handle has one of the best palm grips I have come across and after some jointing, reshaping and sharpening the saw has been at work for a couple of days now. It performs beautifully.

Okay, so it seems to be my destiny to document the moments before the rain, during the rain, after the rain, and in between rain showers - since my schedule is strangely synchronized with the daily downpour! Why fight it. On occasion, it does provide some moments of spectacular lighting. Maybe I should've gotten an underwater camera, though ...
With some certainty this is a Volvo/Van Hool. The garage was packed with vehicles but attempts at useable pictures were rather difficult.

This is my brother, Mitch, and his fiance, Kate. And their horses, Ottis and Duke. It was a bit tricky getting these shots. Ottis wasn't entirely cooperative.
First he almost ripped the hitching post right out of the ground while Mitch was trying to get him saddled up. Then later, while Mitch was getting off of Ottis, he decided to take off into a canter forcing Mitch to pull himself back into the saddle (while the horse was running), come charging towards me (I flattened myself against the fence in time), and head full force towards a wooden fence, which I was certain he either intended to plow through or jump over with Mitch still riding him. What an adventure.
Big thanks to Mitch and Kate and the horses for posing for me.

Albite and montebrasite might be in certain circumstances difficult to differentiate with 100% certainty.
Some things to consider at the Viitaniemi quarry:
- rare phospates are also often closely associated with albite
- albite and montebrasite both have perfect cleavage
- both minerals at Viitaniemi can be white-white or creamy-white
- both minerals can have a duller lustre in blocky form
- both minerals have roughly the same hardness
- both minerals can have the same fluorescence colours or lack them.
Using a refractometer on polished pieces, or analytic methods, it's easy to separate the phosphate and the silicate from each other. These spectra are a bt noisy, but they'll have to do for now.

I am at the hectic time in life that is filled with the nerve-wracking process of applying for colleges, trying to discover personal interests, and contemplating what I want to do for the rest of my life and sometimes the uncertainty of it all just drives me crazy.
So today, one thing I want more of is certainty.
Sorry for the seriousness...

If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.

If you are going to university, chances are you are loaded with wonder regarding what it will be like. There are several aspects to university, so learn up to you may before attending it. The following tips will enable you to enter college with certainty.
Be sure that you bring an adequate volume of toiletries if you enter college. These materials are crucial and usually run out quickly on account of frequent use. Buying toiletries in mass helps save time and cash.
Carry a water bottle along to school. Staying hydrated can be something you should do throughout the day. If you aren't going so as to eat between classes, this is certainly more important. It will be easy to be focused and alert when you drink plenty of water through the day. There are always several different water fountains on campus to refill a water bottle if you want to.
Don't hold back until it's past too far to get started on looking for grant money and scholarships before you go to university. The greater number of time set-aside for obtaining college funds, the less you'll ought to borrow. Make a good system for monitoring deadlines and ensure to make in applications as early before deadlines as you possibly can.
If you fail to pay money for college, you should think of getting each student loan. College can be a place that can help you have a high paying job later, and it's not necessarily a bad idea to have a loan you could later be worthwhile.
Prior to you making your own preference on what college to visit, thoroughly research your intended major and career choice. This can help you set the basis for your personal college choice in the foreseeable future. Have got a conversation together with the director of admissions to be sure that the classes you require are and may remain available the subsequent number of years.
While you are traveling faraway from home for college, evaluate if you must bring your car or truck or leave it home. In case the area is tremendously populated, free parking can be at the premium. If you do not have got a job, you might have trouble paying your insurance and buying gasoline.
It's quicker to feel confident about college when you know what to prepare for. Many variables affect your time and efforts in college, so it is best to consider each. This informative article should supply you with a great foundation. gradability.com/after-uni/facebook-jobs-activity-rise/
