 Western Australia set a world record for heat – 160 consecutive days at 37.8°C (100°F) or above – that still stands after 90 years. The burning sun has also made Marble Bar unique in a modern sense, as the site of one of the world’s first utility-scale, high-penetration solar photovoltaic diesel power stations installed by ABB, Horizon Power and SunPower Australia. ABB’s Microgrid Plus control system and PowerStoreTM grid-stabilizing generator make Marble Bar (and its twin installation Nullagine) set new benchmarks for isolated hybrid diesel power systems with extremely high renewable energy generation and conversion (85 percent peak).
To my surprise, in fact, I had won the golden ticket! Inside the parcel, there were his King of the Waltz – collector’s edition, pen, postcard, book, luggage tag and bag! I was thrilled with all the goodies!
Last Saturday was the start of the André Rieu Week of the Waltz Party. It is a week long celebration, until 9th November, of his 10th anniversary and his new CD, Love In Venice.
 This also comes with a DVD.
I invited a couple of friends along with their kids to our Come Round André Rieu’s Week of the Waltz Party. This is our group photo! Hopefully we will get picked for the grand prize!!!
We also made a music video starred by my children! My son pretends to be André while my daughter pretends to row the boat. The video is currently uploaded on Come Round’s site and hopefully they will see our effort in making the short video!
Thanks to Come Round for this great party and for introducing such beautiful music to my family and friends.

In London, 9 Hertford Street can be your home from home.

Whether you stay one night or several weeks, on business or vacation, 9 Hertford Street can serve as your London address. A presitigious address too, in historic Shepherds Market, just a short walk from Piccadilly, West End Theatres and shops, the finest restaurants and stunning Royal parks.I'm pulled over an hour's drive from home crying in a parking lot.  It kills me because I'm here, I'm at the wheel, I'm ready to work, and it's just not helping anything. I'm already stressed about my landlady breathing down my neck. Like most of us, I'm sure, stressed about the pressure to provide for your family,  fitting in Christmas etc -- and the possibility of that failure being out of your own control. It's overwhelming me to the point of emotional breakdown. I pulled over because I was afraid my last passenger saw my watery eyes and would think I'm high on something.

I was online for the whole duration of the time in this image from 8:30 to 10:30 and a surge bonus from 9 to 10 but no ride requests the whole hour.

I feel like I can't talk to my family about this because I put myself in this position. I quit my job when Lyft was paying big bonuses and the money was easy. Now they've dried up on me and Lyft knows I need the money. People will say "stop taking fares without bonuses" but you just can't say that to people who have their own lives and problems and expect it to work magic. My sister and her two little girls moved in with me and my son in my little 1 bedroom apartment - she has stage 4 breast cancer. 

The problems with this platform are screwing with real people and I'm at the point I think we should make a real, concerted effort to change the system or just abandon it altogether because it's just not working.A day before, it was 42.4 degrees Celsius, the highest in April in five years.It is also the first time in 72 years that Delhi has recorded such a high temperature in the first half of April.Discom officials said the peak power demand of Delhi has increased by over 22 percent since April 1.
