 generation response.
Rapid: Storage is able to respond in milliseconds to provide or take energy from the grid.
Resilient: Storage is able to store and discharge energy only when needed.
Redistribution: Storage can shift energy from lower to higher demand times to moderate prices and stabilize systems states in our energy system.
Move to a service-definition based market: Storage solutions, their technical capabilities and the services they can provide will evolve quickly. The current asset-class centric definition is restrictive by nature, thus hampering the development of new technologies.
Foster market-oriented adoption of storage: Storage has to be allowed for use in market-based scenarios solely, to make the full range of services and benefits available to society.
Prevent double taxation of storage: Storage must be charged in a fair and transparent way, double taxation has to be overcome, to unleash the cost-saving potential of this technology to the public.
Allow stacking of services: To provide a better business case storage must be allowed to offer multiple services from a single or multiple unit(s) to multiple markets.
Allow aggregation of storage: Storage has to be allowed to be aggregated and bring flexibility to all organised markets by a service provider, independent aggregators or suppliers.

It must sound pious to associate the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Priesthood.
But this is not piety. It is necessity. Without the priest there would not
be a Eucharist and without the Eucharist, the priesthood would not be holy.
Our present focus, however, is on the necessity of the Eucharist to produce
and provide for living out the supernatural, and therefore humanly impossible
demands that Christ places on those who enter the priesthood in His name.
My plan is to cover the following areas of this fundamental issue:
It does not take great intelligence to see that a faithful
and spiritually fruitful priesthood virtues as celibacy and self-sacrifice, and we begin
to see why the priesthood requires, indeed demands.
Receiving priestly ordination is one thing. Living
as a holy priest for a lifetime priests, this means the light and strength they
must constantly receive if they are to live out the sublime directives of the
Holy Spirit for Christian believers who received the sacrament of the priesthood.
They have no choice. The world in which they live
is a world in which the self has been deifieds history. But like Eucharist, like priest is also
a sobering fact of the Churchs biography.
Priests are as selfless and chaste, as sacrificing
and humble, as their lives are centered on the Eucharist. The daily and devout
offering Christs visible
life in Palestine it of heroic
virtue.
The pagans of the first three centuries A.D. were converted
to Christ when they saw Christians practicing chastity and charity. It was
especially the generous and chaste love of Christs priests that changed pagans
into believing Christians and in the process, changed the history of the human
race.
Where did the early Christians receive the incredible
strength they needed to follow Christ when even to become Christian meant to
expect martyrdom? Where did they receive the superhuman power to live such
superhuman lives? Where? From the Holy Eucharist, to which the priests themselves
were so earnestly devoted and which they so earnestly promoted among the people.:
Who is now present in the Blessed Sacrament, offering
Himself in the Mass, and received by us in the Holy Eucharist.
What do we conclude from this? Obviously, that Catholic
priests and bishops be witnesses in our day to Christs power in their lives,
as were the Christians who were mangled by lions in the Roman Colosseum, or,
like St. John Fisher, were beheaded by order of a lecherous king who discarded
his wife in sixteenth century England.
This brings us to our final reflection. I make bold
to say that the single most important need for Catholic priests protect the priesthood and the priestly apostolate
from the demonic forces let loose in our country today?
Only God can work a miracle, and we need to change
the figure - an ocean of miracles in America, and in Canada, as in England,
France,.
His divine power is accessible in the Holy Eucharist
to those, beginning with priests, who have the humility to believe.Welcome to the Rosedale Center, one of Baltimore County’s three esteemed alternative education programs. The Rosedale Center provides services to students from the central, northeast and southeast sections of Baltimore County. Our goal is to provide students with alternative approaches to education through specialized education, small learning environments, and student support services. Students meet academic standards set by the Core Curriculum, while being personally enriched and encouraged by our dedicated faculty. Upon completion of the Rosedale program, students return to their comprehensive schools, ready to learn and be successful.
Teachers are expected to post two lessons by Monday 10 am. Students work through the material on their own and work is due on Friday by 11:59 pm. Students can contact teachers during office hours for assistance or to have questions answered. Students should be present for the virtual class meeting times on Google Meet.

Follow-up … this post today from Seth Godin – – seems to have come at an opportune moment in relation to this post …
“Books, those bound paper documents, are part of an ecosystem, one that was perfect, and one that is dying, quickly.”
“As always, we’ll reinvent. We still need ideas, and ideas need containers. We’ve developed more and more ways for those ideas to travel and to have impact, and now it’s up to us to figure out how to build an ecosystem around them.”
I agree with your assessment wholeheartedly, David. In fact, I would push the envelope a bit further, envisioning digital textbooks that in addition offer seamless opportunities for self-paced reading experiences (for special interest content, remedial learning, etc.) along with access to live/current social learning discussion forums, as well as support for open educational resources, all as an interoperable, device-agnostic, vendor-independent, Web-based reading experience.
Digital textbooks, as you described, afford us the opportunity to developed truly intelligent, interactive, social, personal and organic learning experiences. We must seize the moment to enhance education.
Greetings from Chicago.
Ed – thanks for the reply and I love your idea – I bet an eTextbook with those properties would be attractive for both publishers and students/readers, and maybe even win over some of the digital-detractors?
I just wish I had the skills to programme it. Until I can find the time and effort needed to re-skill myself to develop the technology needed to affect these changes (!) we’ll just have to wait until someone else catches up with us!
All the best, DavidWasn’t this week’s prompt a fun one? Here is our list.
What Does a Witch Need is a great title!
I’m so glad you liked my list!
#9 is one I ask EVERY SINGLE DAY. Diabetes is a horrible disease that is not fun at all to deal with. Thankfully, it’s manageable so no one has to die from it these days, but still.
I’m so sorry to hear that, Susan. I have a couple of relatives who are diabetic. It really is an awful disease.
Thank you very much. Wasn’t that a funny title?
Thank you! Yes, it was a tricky topic for sure.
I like the sound of What Does a Witch Need!?
These sound like really interesting reads with questions I’d love to know the answer to. Are We There Yet? made me laugh just because when I was a kid, I’d probably ask that question about a hundred times on every road trip my family took, lol.
Oh that 911 title…!!! It’s funny, but sadly enough a reality as well!!
Thanks for visiting us earlier this week and so sorry that I only get back to you now.
You’re welcome and no worries. I’m glad you liked the 911 title I found.
These are all unfamiliar titles to me, but if you read them, I hope you enjoyed. Love a good question asking title because I think it piques interest all the more! Thanks so much for
