Thierry Debels krijgt gelijk in geschil met Vredeseilanden
Het hof van beroep heeft de eis die de ngo Vredeseilanden had ingesteld tegen auteur Thierry Debels, afgewezen. In zijn boek 'Hoe goed is het goede doel', van november 2007, stelde Debels kritische vragen bij de werking van Vredeseilanden. De rechtbank van eerste aanleg veroordeelde Debels tot betaling van een morele schadevergoeding, maar volgens het hof was er met het boek niets mis. De auteur betoogde dat slechts 15 procent van het budget van Vredeseilanden effectief naar hulpprojecten in het Zuiden gaat. Het hof van beroep oordeelde dat er geen sprake was van foute berichtgeving. 'Vredeseilanden moet in een democratische samenleving kritische meningen over haar werking en resultaten dulden', zegt het arrest.
Verliezen lopen op bij sportclub Kim Clijsters
De NV KC Sports & Health Club van Kim Clijsters heeft de jaarrekening over 2015 neergelegd.
In dat jaar werd een verlies van net geen kwart miljoen euro opgetekend.
In 2014 werd al een verlies geleden van ruim 300.000 euro.
Het overgedragen verlies bedraagt eind 2015 al anderhalf miljoen euro.
De NV werd in 2010 opgericht.

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is a grouping of 607 small islands in the Western Pacific about 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii, lying just above the Equator. Generally speaking, FSM comprises what is known as the Eastern and Western Caroline Islands. While the country's total land area amounts to only 270.8 square miles, it occupies more than one million square miles of the Pacific ocean, and ranges 1,700 miles from East (Kosrae) to West (Yap)- Each of the four States centers around one or more "high islands." and all but Kosrae include numerous atolls.
Chuuk State has a total land area of 492 square miles and includes seven major island groups. Pohnpei State has 133.4 square miles of land area, of which 130 is accounted for by Pohnpei island, the largest in FSM. Yap State is made up of 4 large islands, 7 small islands and 134 atolls, with a total land area of 45.6 square miles- Kosrae is essentially one high island of 42.3 square miles.
FSM enjoys a tropical climate, with relatively even, warm temperatures throughout the year. Rainfall is generally plentiful, and Pohnpei reputedly is one of the wettest places on Earth, with up to 330 inches of rain per year.

Although the Hawaiian Islands are blessed with an abundance of renewable energy sources including excellent solar and wind resources, and have the nation’s most aggressive renewable energy standards, the state still rely heavily on fossil fuels for electricity generation. With isolated (unconnected) island grids and sparse systems on some islands, integration of the intermittent renewable generation systems has been challenging. The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at the University of Hawaii has initiated an integrated effort involving modeling, testing, and demonstration to identify and validate pathways to higher renewable integration. In this talk, I will discuss the analysis being used to identify strategic paths forward and will describe several projects currently underway including the Maui Smart Grid Demonstration Project, the Smart Grid Inverter Project and several grid-scale battery energy storage projects.
Richard Rocheleau (PhD, Chemical Engineering, University of DE), has over 35 years of experience in renewable energy, with an emphasis in the areas of photovoltaics, hydrogen fuel cells, and energy systems. Dr. Rocheleau joined the faculty of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute at the University of Hawaii in 1988 and was appointed Director in 2000. Under his direction, the Institute is leading the development of public‐private partnerships focused on the development, testing and integration of alternative energy technologies into the electrical grid. HNEI has major funding from the US Department of Energy and the Office of Naval Research. Dr. Rocheleau was also successful in positioning the Institute to receive a portion of the ‘barrel tax’, established by the Hawaii State Legislature supporting studies for integration of renewable energy technologies into the grid intended to assist the state to meet its aggressive renewable energy portfolio goals.
