Guarantees of Origin webinar Leonardo Energy 13 November 2017Dirk Van Evercooren
This is the presentation I used in a webinar for Leonardo Energy on 13 November 2017. It's about how Guarantees of Origin work and how they make green energy contracts reliable. Corporate electricity consumers now adopt sustainability strategies, choosing only electricity from renewable sources. Some go further and engage in Renewable Power Purchasing Agreements. In both cases, Guarantees of Origin are instrumental.
The value of Guarantees of Origin: empowering consumers in the energy transitionLeonardo ENERGY
The Guarantee of Origin (GO) is a crucial instrument for the widening business strategy for clean power. The Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) has created and operates the European Energy Certificate System (EECS) to harmonise the functioning of the GO-systems. The AIB is a ‘not for profit’ membership organisation consisting of national GO issuing bodies. We have also established an electronic Hub for efficiently transferring GOs across the European market. The Hub enables full traceability and transparency and ensures in a cost-effective way, ensuring that there will never be double-selling or double-counting of renewable GOs within this system. There are now already 20 active AIB member countries – all of which are fully EECS compliant.

Joy hughes open standards for shared renewablesJoy Hughes
The recent announcement by Tesla Motors that their patents would be released as open source has put the spotlight on open source and open standards within the renewable energy industry. Open source and open standards play a huge role in the computer and Internet industries. Just think of the impact of the open source architecture of the PC and the open communication standard HTML. Google built its business on the open source Apache server and the open source Android operating system. In the solar industry, Tioga Energy released an open source solar power purchase agreement. Could open standards and open source benefit the shared and community solar industry segment?
Given the Cap and Trade mechanism in place, there are additional opportunities to provide further incentives to meet carbon goals. Many financial institutions have mandates to achieve a zero footprint. The following proposal was made in 2009 to the Bank of Montreal: As a strategic maneuver to increase market share and advance its sustainability commitment, design a program to exchange low-interest rate financial products to collect the environmental attributes from the residential, commercial and institutional photovoltaic installations. If and when aggregated, the environmental attributes (carbon credits) would be of better use given than many residential, commercial and institutional are incapable of benefiting from the cap and trade program.
The presentation provides a review of the performance of installations to suggest the commercial and institutional market potential in Canada. A brief review of US Green Financial Products was also included as suggested approaches. Note that many new products/programs have been introduced since 2009. The prospect of releasing the environmental attributes to further incentivize Ontario's carbon goals is worth reviewing.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
