Emmanuel, Michael & Akinyele, Daniel & Rayudu, Ramesh, 2017.The paper introduces the sustainable planning framework (SPF) based on the STEEP model, which can form a general basis for planning microgrids in any remote location. Better insights into microgrid systems are expected to address the drawbacks and improve the situation that can lead to widespread and sustainable applications in off-grid communities around the world in the future. The study uses remote communities within Nigeria, West Africa, as case studies and demonstrates the need for the STEEP approach for better understanding of microgrid planning and development. The model details the key dimensions and actions necessary for addressing the challenge of microgrid failure in remote communities. It then proposes the STEEP model to examine critically the failure factors based on the social, technical, economic, environmental and policy (STEEP) perspectives. ![]() ![]() This paper first presents a comprehensive review of microgrid technologies and their applications. This development requires research efforts that consider better strategies and framework for sustainable microgrids in remote communities. However, a lack of in-depth considerations for the enabling planning conditions has been identified as a major reason why microgrids fail in several off-grid communities. Several research studies have examined the application issues of microgrids. There is a growing interest in the application of microgrids around the world because of their potential for achieving a flexible, reliable, efficient and smart electrical grid system and supplying energy to off-grid communities, including their economic benefits.

Combined with buttery mashed avocado and you made yourself a nice little feast. It will for sure step up your avocado toast game and make for a fun tasty change.

The company has been on a roll recently, and is fresh off the announcement of both the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti, two Turing-based graphics cards that are both aimed at midrange gamers. Naturally, everything mentioned here is speculation, and you can expect for Nvidia to spell things out and make everything official during this keynote. Still, if Ampere is indeed revealed, it could provide a bit more information on what Nvidia’s future GeForce graphics cards could end up looking like. While this is not something that will make it to a consumer product anytime soon, this graphics-processing architecture is instead suggested to succeed the existing “Volta” microarchitecture for the artificial intelligence and digital learnings markets. In a shot at AMD, the leading suggestion is that Nvidia may be considering announcing a new next-generation “Ampere” graphics-processing architecture based on the 7nm manufacturing process. Though we can’t be certain on what Nvidia is planning to discuss during this keynote, there are plenty of rumors indicating what will be expected. ![]() If you can’t watch the event live, you can also follow along after on Nvidia’s blog or follow the company on Twitter.

Over the next thirty years, Smith became one of the kings of B-movie villainy. While working towards his doctorate, he landed a contract with MGM and never looked back. There, his fluency in five languages landed him in the N.S.A. He first came to the screen as a child actor in films such as Going My Way (1944) and The Song of Bernadette (1943), before entering the service during the Korean War. William Smith is probably best known for his portrayal as “Falconetti” in Rich Man, Poor Man (1976). A true legend in the business, Bill’s acting career is still going strong in 2006, well into the 64th year of his career. He’s educated, intelligent and energetic. ![]() Just about everybody who has ever worked with Bill speaks highly of him. He was in what could be called a textbook example of low-budget, campy sci-fi, Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988). Tougher than Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill played his dad in Conan the Barbarian (1982), and was one of the few actors in the wildly popular, but critically lambasted, youth-oriented Red Dawn (1984) to receive any recognition from critics. Just about everybody’s favorite William Smith movie, though, is Any Which Way You Can (1980), where as a bare-knuckle brawler he had a knock-down, drag-out fight with Clint Eastwood that wrecked about half the town. In the early 1970s, Bill got into horror films–playing a vampire slayer in Grave of the Vampire (1972)–and science fiction, in the camp classic Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973), where he fought killer insect-women wearing sunglasses. These early, ground-breaking features defined the genre, and would be imitated endlessly (but never duplicated). His first biker flick, Run, Angel, Run! (1969), was shot in 13 days for under $100,000–and made $13 million! This was followed by Angels Die Hard (1970). On the big screen, Bill is legendary for biker flicks (he does his own motorcycle riding). ![]() James “Kimo” Carew (the episode with Cathy Lee Crosby, “The Kahuna,” drew particularly high ratings). He was a series regular in Hawaii Five-O (1968), where he played Det. He’s best remembered for appearing in Batman (1966) as, appropriately, Adonis in the last episode. On TV he played in many westerns (did his own horseback riding), cop and sci-fi shows. Bill would go on to become one of Hollywood’s best-known character actors, with over 300 TV and movie credits. He studied at the University of Munich, and Syracuse University. After high school, he joined the Air Force and served during the Korean War and flew secret ferret missions over Russia while in the NSA. From 1942, when he was eight, through young adulthood, Bill appeared in many movies as an extra (uncredited). After losing everything to the dust bowl, the family moved to California. He was born on March 24, 1933, in Columbia, Missouri, on Rolling Acres, a Hereford cattle ranch. ![]() I’m pretty sure he could kill me.īiker, bare-knuckle brawler, cowboy, Bee-Girl fighter, vampire hunter … William Smith has done it all.

Right, Pete's Dragon, Sausage Party, The Legend of Tarzan Following the leaked Deadpool test footage, it was incredibly exciting to find that the final film exceeded the hype (after a brilliant, self-deprecating, marketing blitz) - and, in the most playful way imaginable, provided a cathartic return to the superhero genre for both Ryan Reynolds and those who felt burned by his prior appearances as Wade Wilson (in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Green Lantern. It's a beautiful film that, more than any other this year, was packed with sincere "movie magic." Conversely, Nocturnal Animals marks my most intense and haunting film experience in 2016 - a gut-wrenching and layered narrative that I'm still unpacking after three viewings. In a slate packed with blockbusters, Kubo and the Two Strings was a refreshing change of pace - and succeeded as my favorite Laika film date. It's not for everyone, and I understand why, but I'd be lying if I didn't count it among my favorites of the year - if for no other reason than because of all the interesting conversations about superhero films that it spawned. Batman V Superman may be the most controversial pick on my list, but as an editorial we recently posted here on the site already pointed out, following the 2016 election cycle, the themes and "deconstructionist" approach in Dawn of Justice make a more poignant point than ever - especially in the film's definitive "Ultimate Cut". There was a lot to like (and not like) at the 2016 box office - even in movies that made it onto my favorites list. Honorable Mention(s): Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Cut) As with prior years, some of the year's "Best" movies won't make it onto any of our "Favorite" lists - so make sure to look over our movie review archive to find out what we thought of your own personal choices - then share your own Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2016 in the comments!Ģ. Our Top 5 Favorite Movies of 2016 list isn't designed to act as a definitive Screen Rant endorsement, it's an opportunity for each one of our editors to call out the movies that touched us, wowed us, and reminded us why we love going to the theater. As a result, the line between the "best" films of the year and a moviegoer's "favorites" could be especially blurry this round.Įvery year we put together our individual Top 5 "Favorite" (not necessarily "Best") movie picks and 2016 is no different. Still, as competition raged between Marvel fans and DC fans, via Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, Captain America: Civil War, and Doctor Strange, 2016 also delivered plenty of films that received near-universal praise - from award-contender dramas (such as Moonlight), to irreverent antiheroes ( Deadpool). 2016 was a contentious year for movies - meaning that, more than possibly any year before it, the very movies that thrilled some moviegoers will be the same ones that outraged others.
![]() It remains unclear how much it will damage Trump’s standing given that his first indictment generated millions of dollars in contributions from angry supporters and didn’t weaken him in the polls. The statutes governing the handling of classified records and obstruction are felonies that could carry years in prison in the event of a conviction. Since then, the Justice Department has amassed additional evidence and secured grand jury testimony from people close to Trump, including his own lawyers. Trump has repeatedly insisted that he was entitled to keep the classified documents when he left the White House, and has also claimed without evidence that he had declassified them.Ĭourt records unsealed last year showed federal investigators believed they had probable cause that multiple crimes had been committed, including the retention of national defense information, destruction of government records and obstruction. Prosecutors have said that Trump took roughly 300 classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House, including some 100 that were seized by the FBI last August in a search of the home that underscored the gravity of the Justice Department’s investigation. The indictment arises from a monthslong investigation into whether Trump broke the law by holding onto hundreds of documents marked classified at his Palm Beach property, Mar-a-Lago, and whether he took steps to obstruct the government’s efforts to recover the records. The inquiry took a major step forward last November when Attorney General Merrick Garland, a soft-spoken former federal judge who has long stated that no person should be regarded as above the law, appointed Jack Smith, a war crimes prosecutor with an aggressive, hard-charging reputation to lead both the documents probe as well as a separate investigation into efforts to subvert the 2020 election. Once he left office, though, he lost that protection. The most notable investigation was an earlier special counsel probe into ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia, but prosecutors in that probe cited Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president. ![]() The case is a milestone for a Justice Department that had investigated Trump for years - as president and private citizen - but had never before charged him with a crime. Campaign aides had been bracing for the fallout since Trump’s attorneys were notified that he was the target of the investigation, assuming it was not a matter of if charges would be brought, but when.Īppearing Thursday night on CNN, Trump attorney James Trusty said the indictment includes charges of willful retention of national defense information - a crime under the Espionage Act, which polices the handling of government secrets - obstruction, false statements and conspiracy. But among the various investigations he faces, legal experts - as well as Trump’s own aides - had long seen the Mar-a-Lago probe as the most perilous threat and the one most ripe for prosecution. ![]() The case adds to deepening legal jeopardy for Trump, who has already been indicted in New York and faces additional investigations in Washington and Atlanta that also could lead to criminal charges. ![]() All other marks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
