$1 for 3 months. Save 97%.

Color, history fill Dawson City, Yukon

Brian Passey

With a name like The Top of the World Highway, you know it has to be a scenic road.

However, the word “highway” could be deceiving. Sure, it’s high in elevation, but I tend to think of highways as nice, paved routes, not dirt roads. While there are patches of pavement along the highway, much of it is dirt.

The rustic nature of the road is due to its location on the border of the United States and Canada. It runs for 79 miles from just east of Jack Wade, Alaska, to Dawson City, Yukon. This mountaintop road, which is only open during the summer, is a much more scenic route than the famed Alaska Highway, which also crosses the Alaska-Yukon border. It’s also one of the most northern highways in the world, so that’s pretty cool.

We just left the tiny community of Chicken, Alaska, and are now on our return trip to the lower 48 via Canada. It’s been nine days since we left Idaho to drive the Alaska Highway and explore the 49th state. Now we’re looking forward to seeing more of Canada on the way home.

Just before the border crossing, we stop to enjoy the panoramic vista and eat the last of our fruit since we’re not sure if they will let us bring it into Canada. When we arrive at the border crossing — one of only a few in which U.S. and Canadian officials use the same building — the agent is much nicer than his counterpart at the Montana-Alberta border nine days ago, and there are no questions about fruit.

Now, we just have 65 miles of jaw-dropping beauty left before we reach Dawson City. Mountains completely surround us. They aren’t lofty granite peaks covered in snow but rather gently rolling hills of green that happen to be really high. Because it’s a partly cloudy day, there is a patchwork of shadow and light that constantly dances across the hills and valleys.

Although we are traveling through the range of the once mighty Fortymile Caribou Herd, the only wildlife we see is a single rock chuck. The herd once numbered about 568,000 a century ago but dwindled to only 6,000 by the 1970s. As of 2003, it had reportedly bounced back to 46,000 animals while the wolf population grew along with it.

A few dozen miles outside of Dawson City, I decide it’s time to remind my dad that we’ll have to use a ferry to cross the Yukon River into the city. Earlier in the trip, he didn’t like the thought of driving his pickup onto a ferry, but I conveniently “forgot” to remind him about it while talking up the chance to go to Dawson City. At this point in the journey, it didn’t make much sense to turn around and go back.

I can tell he’s somewhat on edge as we descend from the mountains toward the river, but I assure him that the free ferry runs constantly back and forth across the river, so we won’t have to wait long. Ultimately, he finds the ferry ride to be relatively painless and we arrive in downtown Dawson City, ready to explore.

Our first stop is Sourdough Joe’s, a restaurant among the brightly painted buildings on the riverfront. It’s one of those “When in Rome …” decisions. In the Yukon, you just have to eat sourdough.

Then we discover Dome Road, which climbs a hill above Dawson to offer a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the city and the gorgeous river.

Returning to town, we find Jack London Square, which features a cabin partially built with logs from the famous author’s own cabin. He lived in Dawson during the Klondike Gold Rush, which inspired some of his works like “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang.”

After returning to our hotel, we set out to see Dawson on foot and photograph more of the brightly colored buildings with bold accent hues. We also stop in a general store, where I pick up a Yukon magnet for my refrigerator collection and a collection of London’s best-known work. Ever since purchasing James Joyce’s “Dubliners” in Dublin back in 2001, I’ve tried to buy books by famous authors in places associated with them.

Although it’s still fairly light out because it’s the Yukon in the summer, it’s starting to get late. We treat ourselves to some ice cream, take a walk along the riverbank and call it a night. We have a long drive planned for the next day as we travel the Klondike Highway down to Skagway, Alaska.

Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

How long do we keep your information for?

4.1 Except if required otherwise by law, we retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collect it and also where we have a legitimate interest in doing so, such as:

To enable us to respond effectively to grievances that may arise after you cease to engage with us; or

5.2 We will use the latest security software to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information you provide to us. We will constantly be evaluating and using the firewall, password protection and data security to protect any personal data contained within the Site. However, we cannot guarantee that your personal data will not be compromised in other ways, including for example, where third parties unlawfully access the Site and intercept or access private communications, or other users abuse or misuse your information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot not promise that your personally data or communications with us will always remain private.

Your Rights

As a data subject you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. Below, we have described the various rights that you have, as well as how you can exercise them.

6.1 Right of Access

You may, at any time, request access to the personal data that we hold which relates to you (you may have heard of this right being described as a "subject access request").

Please note that this right entitles you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you in order to enable you to check that it is correct and to ensure that we are processing that personal data lawfully. It is not a right that allows you to request personal data about other people, or a right to request specific documents from us that do not relate to your personal data.

You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us using the contact details set out here and telling us that you are making a subject access request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

6.2 Your Right to Rectification and Erasure

You may, at any time, request that we correct personal data that we hold about you which you believe is incorrect or inaccurate. You may also ask us to erase personal data if you do not believe that we need to continue retaining it (you may have heard of this right described as the “right to be forgotten”).

Please note that we may ask you to verify any new data that you provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you have supplied us with is right. Further, we are not always obliged to erase personal data when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to erase we will tell you what that reason is at the time we respond to your request.

You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us using the contact details set out here and telling us that you are making a request to have your personal data rectified or erased and on what basis you are making that request. If you want us to replace inaccurate data with new data, you should tell us what that new data is. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

6.3 Your Right to Restrict Processing

Where we process your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest you are entitled to ask us to stop processing it in that way if you feel that our continuing to do so impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms or if you feel that those legitimate interests are not valid.

You may also ask us to stop processing your personal data (a) if you dispute the accuracy of that personal data and want us verify that data's accuracy; (b) where it has been established that our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process your personal data (and would otherwise dispose of it) but you wish for us to continue storing it in order to enable you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Please note that if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to stop processing, we will tell you what that reason is, either at the time we first respond to your request or after we have had the opportunity to consider and investigate it.

You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us using the contact details set out here and telling us that you are making a request to have us stop processing the relevant aspect of your personal data and describing which of the above conditions you believe is relevant to that request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

6.4 Your Right to Portability

Where you wish to transfer certain personal data that we hold about you, which is processed by automated means, to a third party you may write to us and ask us to provide it to you in a commonly used machine-readable format.

Because of the kind of work that we do and the systems that we use, we do not envisage this right being particularly relevant to the majority of individuals with whom we interact. However, if you wish to transfer your data from us to a third party we are happy to consider such requests.

6.5 Your Right to stop receiving communications

For details on your rights to ask us to stop sending you various kinds of communications, please contact us.

6.6 Your Right to object to automated decision making and profiling

You have the right to be informed about the existence of any automated decision making and profiling of your personal data, and where appropriate, be provided with meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing that affects you.

6.7 Exercising your rights

When you write to us making a request to exercise your rights we are entitled to ask you to prove that you are who you say you are. We may ask you to provide copies of relevant ID documents to help us to verify your identity.

It will help us to process your request if you clearly state which right you wish to exercise and, where relevant, why it is that you are exercising it. The clearer and more specific you can be the faster and more efficiently we can deal with your request. If you do not provide us with sufficient information then we may delay actioning your request until you have provided us with additional information (and where this is the case we will tell you).

6.8 In addition to the above rights you may review, correct, update or change your User Information, CV, data settings and profile at any time by logging in. Users will also have the opportunity to renew their subscription at the end of the relevant subscription period or suspend or cancel their registration or subscription at any time. Users who cancel or suspend their subscription will remain liable for any subscription charges up to the end of the relevant subscription period. If you suspend your registration, your User Information, CV and profile will no longer be visible on the Site, but we will keep such data on our servers until you wish to revive or cancel your registration. Users are obliged to remove all User Information about another User within 2 (two) weeks of receiving a request from us to do so. In the event of cancellation, an email will be sent to you to confirm that your information has been deleted (save for an archive copy which is not accessible on the Site but which may retained indefinitely for audit and record purposes).

Your company requires well-corrugated shipping carton, but you are not sure precisely what is exactly what you want. We understand there can be a bit of an overwhelming selection, so let’s see how to narrow it down to just one touch, will we? The basics will make the selection method smoother and you will have questions when selecting the correct boxes for your company.

How Do You Like the Style of Shipping Carton?

  1. Basically, do you want periodic or somewhat stylish shipping boxes?
  2. RSCs are the normal corrugated custom boxes that most people use.
  3. For flat or narrow goods, EFMs (Easy-Fold Mailers) make them a little bit more spectacular, and with a shrunk profile of carton.
  4. The best way to group together tiny or multiple products is with the corrugated mailer.
  5. FLMs (Front Lock Mailers) is the most sophisticated packages, ideal for unboxing client delivery experiences.

And You Want a Normal Look or a Custom Look?

  1. Kraft corrugated custom boxes are the most popular colour for boxes that make them the most affordable and commonly accessible choice.
  2. White corrugated boxes are a bit more costly and a little easier to demonstrate dirt, but it looks a lot more than kraft does.
  3. Colour carton and printed on-boxes are personalized shipping boxes ideal for unboxing and showcase-building experiences.

What is Your Product’s Size?

Keep in mind the following facts once you understand its measurements. Product and its Size will assist you to determine whether your boxes should be narrow or spacious.

  1. The interior sizes of a box are the number used to specify the size of the box (e.g.: 12x12x12). If the measurements of your product are lower, you understand that they are going to work.
  2. For transport reasons, the outside size of boxes is essential to understand. Now that weight is used for the calculation of the cost of shipment, you’re looking for a good medium from inside to outside sizes (suitable for your item, without hitting your shipping budget difficult!).
  3. As much as you can, avoid the wasted room. An oversized box sells heavy shipping costs, needs more empty filling and cardboard sealing tapes and increases the danger of bouncing around your products.

What’s Your Product Precisely?

What your item is or has any particular factors will affect your choice of shipping carton or other packaging.

  1. Protection from temperature and moisture modifications is necessary for food products, medications or other peregrinates. The creation of closed and shielded settings will assist with isolate shipment kits (as well as optional products like cold packages).
  2. Clothes and handcrafted items need boxes to maintain them snug and immobile while leaving sufficient space for void filling or another padding.
  3. Breakable products require as many protective custom boxes layers as possible. You’re going to want them snug, but not too snug (because you do not want pressures or stresses on them), while keeping their motion as restricted as you can.

Additionally, avoid choosing the wrong packaging. Stick fresh and unpolluted on-boxes with dents and tears as well as unnotced problems, such as water damage. You can seal your boxes using Water-activated enhanced WAT (water-activated tapes). It is stronger than conventional packaging tape and leaves clear proof for packaging manipulation.

My soul is cast down as it was that October 21, 1986. I’m overwhelmed. Psalms 41-42 come to mind. Those words express more or less the way I am feeling and what I aim to do about it. Quote:

Psalms 141:1-10

MASTER, I call upon You; hasten to me. Give ear to my voice when I cry to You. Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a guard, O Master, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips. Incline my heart not to submit or consent to any evil thing or to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.

Let the righteous man smite and correct me–it is a kindness. Oil so choice let not my head refuse or discourage; for even in their evils or calamities shall my prayer continue. When their rulers are overthrown in stony places, their followers shall hear my words, that they are sweet (pleasant, mild, and just). The unburied bones of slaughtered rulers shall lie scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as unregarded as the lumps of soil behind the plowman when he breaks open the ground.

But my eyes are toward You, O Yahuwah/Yahushua—my Master; in You do I trust and take refuge; pour not out my life nor leave it destitute and bare.

Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and the snares of evildoers. Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass over them and escape.

Psalms 42:1-11

AS THE hart pants and longs for the water brooks, so I pant and long for You, O my Master! My inner self thirsts for the Mighty One Of Israel, for the living Mighty One.

When shall I come and behold the face of the Mighty One Of Israel? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, Where is your Mighty One?

These things I earnestly remember and pour myself out within me: how I went slowly before the throng and led them in procession to the house of the Mighty One Of Israel, like a bandmaster before his band, timing the steps to the sound of music and the chant of song, with the voice of shouting and praise, a throng keeping festival.

My profile. Who am I? Past. Present. 1. Past. A woman with a dysfunctional past big time. No matter what I did or not did? I could not function in the society of mankind. 2. Present. A functional woman—a human being under the care & protection of the Almighty Father/Creator of our beings. 3. In the past? A defeated woman saddled not only with the Dysfunctional label but also with the Bipolar, Manic Depressive & Schizophrenic labels. 4. In the present? An overcoming woman by The Power Of Love From On High up above the sky! 5. By The Power Of Love From On High up above the sky? I have overcome not only the Dysfunctional label but also all the labels this world saddles on all unsuspecting human beings. I am now an inspirational writer. I write to give witness or evidence of the Mighty Presence of our Father/ my heart & in my practical life. Whatever for? What would my witness do for you? Woa! You got me there! But, right before Yahushua was caught up in the clouds to go to the right hand of the Father, Yahushua said, Acts 1:6-8 It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power. But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Set-Apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My Witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. … In view of the above Scriptures the writer records the journal of her daily living to give an account—to witness of the work that the Almighty Creator of our beings has done and continues to do in her life. I am a witness of the Almighty Creator of our beings in my heart & soul and in my practical daily existence! This is not a bogus claim but a reality in the life of the Author/Publisher of one of these books or SITES that you are now viewing! Thanks for your kind attention!

Feature: Kelsie-Blake Weeks

Kelsie-Blake Weeks, College of Charleston Sophmore (Spanish Major)

There are some people who exist in this world who seem to radiate positive energy 24/7. Kelsie-Blake Weeks is one of those people. She and I shared a class together here at the College of Charleston, and it didn't take long to realize that Kelsie was someone very special. In order to realize that, a person needs to look no further than her own hyphenated first name.

Kelsie's mom did what most mom's do, find clever ways to name their kids. My mom did it with me, replaced "e" with "i" in my middle name Alijandro; my wife did it with our kids, all four have my initials; and Kelsie's full first name is Kelsie-Blake. According to Kelsie, her mom's sole explanation behind the hyphenated first name was that 1) mom liked the idea of two first names, and 2) mom was a fan of the hyphen. Well, for me that's all the explanation I need. One little piece of information behind what makes Kelsie unique. Thanks, Mom!

As I stated earlier, Kelsie-Blake and I were in a class together a couple of semesters ago, and it became apparent pretty quick that there was something special about her. Her infectious smile and southern charm made her easy to work with in group assignments, and even more interesting is how she seemed to go out of her way to be friendly to everyone. A trait not typically seen anywhere now-a-days. Of course, in a project where its purpose is to prove the world is brighter than some may think, Kelsie-Blake was one of the first people I could think of to make that point for anyone reading this story right now.

Kelsie loves animals

I sat down with Kelsie to see if I could learn where the source of all this positive energy came from. She explained that a lot of it was based in her Christianity faith. She shared a few "go-to" scriptures that provide her her moral compass, but, essentially, her bottom line is that she is just trying to "love thy neighbor." She confessed, however, that she was not always that way. In fact, Kelsie shared something next about her personality that was quite fascinating.

Kelsie-Blake explained that, in high school, she had a circle of friends where gossip was a big part of most conversations. And, Kelsie admits, she played a role in encouraging those behaviors. Despite the fact that, personally, the negativity created by the gossip made her uncomfortable. So, she decided to try and do something about it.

In her senior year, she made the choice to turn every negative encounter on its ear by flipping it with a positive comment. For example, if someone would say, "did you see what 'so-and-so' was wearing?" Anticipating the direction the conversation was headed, Kelsie would respond with something like, "yeah, I really liked her shoes!"

She exercised this strategy the entire school year, and in her own enthusiastic words, "I felt so much better!" She believes her little social experiment taught her that by her choosing to be positive when confronted with negativity, she molded herself into being more aware of other people's feelings, and how the smallest gestures can make the biggest impacts. Kelsie says, "people will always remember how you make them feel." She encourages everyone to try what she did, but she also cautions that you might lose some friends over it. The friends you get in place of the one's you lost, however, will be well worth it, though.

I can only hope that some of you get a chance to meet Kelsie-Blake, so that you can experience for yourself what I got to be around for a semester. She's person who always had a compliment ready, someone who seemed to leap at any opportunity to share words of encouragement, and a young lady whose spirit radiates the kind of goodness that could only make everyone around her better. Yep, Kelsie-Blake is definitely a bright light in a tough world. I feel lucky to have met her, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds as she pursues a degree with the College of Charleston.

Phnom Penh PostHowever, pictures of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former US President George HW Bush and actor Richard Gere adorn the single-storey building’s walls suggesting that Global Security Solutions’ Managing Director John Muller is a formidable networker with a stellar reputation.

The company not only provides security for embassies, but for petrochemical companies, hotels and airlines as well.

Since the company, a division of the EZECOM Group, started operations in early 2011, Muller has recruited 21 employees and about 600 security guards and plans to further expand this payroll to not more than 1,000 guards.

“We helped the government to disarm … security guards”

“My long experience and my contact network allowed me to handpick the best men and women,” he told the Post yesterday in an interview.

The field of hi-tech security lured security expert Muller a long time ago. The former US soldier started his career in Thailand in 1986 with Circle Freight, a major American logistics company, as Indochina manager.

“In the ’90s, I established the first professional private security services company in Cambodia. We helped the government to disarm the many unprofessional security guards, even some police,” he said, adding that police called him the ‘father of security.’ “AK-47s and other weapons disappeared from the streets and tourists felt safer.”

Living in Cambodia since 16 years

Nowadays, while most tourists think of Cambodia as a relatively safe country due to his influence on the national lawmakers, Muller has extended his knowledge about security services like no one else. He is looking back on 27 years of experience in Southeast Asia and 16 years in Cambodia.

Global Security Solutions is well connected, serving Mobitel, Plan International and several NGOs in Cambodia. Its biggest customer besides parent company EZECOM is Toll Royal Railways.

“Working for Toll is a daunting task, because a lot of things are happening in the bush. We don’t have instructors going there every time, so we need to find technical solutions to monitor our employees,” Muller explained, adding that his company protects railways and containers.

The office in the back of the building differs from the gallery-like rooms in the front. Having passed four security checkpoints, the last door unlocks automatically, allowing a short glimpse of large screens showing cash points and offices.

“People in Cambodia think of security guards as farmers in uniforms, but they are more than that,” Muller said. Talking about his experience with American, Vietnamese, Thai, Australian, Iraqi and Khmer guards he said: “I am not looking for anything else than Khmer staff. They are very dedicated, loyal and hard working.”

Security guards start with a monthly salary of $130

Security guards begin at a monthly salary of $130 and are on average 26 years old. Only one per cent of the company’s employees are women, as customers in Cambodia still prefer men. The job is less about power, and more about intelligent planning, according to 63-year-old Muller.

“I want to increase the number of my female and handicapped employees,” Muller said.

Executive Director Sim Kalyan, or “Suzie”, is one of the few women in the company. The 33-year-old Cambodian manages Global Security Solutions’ finances. “I learned a lot about fraud investigations from John,” Suzie told the Post.

“Every expatriate’s company needs a so-called door opener for its customers. They can address the second in the hierarchy, who understands their language and shares the same culture,” she explained, adding that she would like to become the company’s director.

However, the company’s biggest challenge lies on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, according to Muller. “Gangs and drug dealers threaten our own people and our [conflict] intervention team,” he said.

This is one reason why Muller wants to add more hi-tech to security procedures. “We want to go robotic to protect our guards,” the managing director said, adding that a robot could undertake dangerous duties like arresting drug traders while being steered from a safe and remote office.

Global Security Solutions’ second plan is a similar big challenge: “I want to motivate the government to use forensic technology and to register all weapons in Cambodia,” Muller, an official adviser to the police, said.

Tackling energy poverty together

23 November 2020 • 4 min reading time

The energy supply of the future must be sustainable, affordable and fair. Nonetheless, 8% of Dutch households can barely pay the bill. They are in the cold, limit showering to a minimum... In short, they compromise on living comfort. In the Netherlands, despite recommendations from the European Union, there is no specific policy to tackle energy poverty. TNO is working on this challenge for and with small and large municipalities.

Download the white paper

Energy poverty and the energy transition

Recommendations to tackle energy poverty

In the white paper Energy Poverty in Energy Transition TNO and partners make recommendations for policy to tackle energy poverty nationally and locally. The policy to tackle energy poverty should not stand on its own, but go hand in hand with social policy, energy policy and policy on the built environment. In this way, a variety of challenges can be tackled simultaneously.

Energy poverty policy, for example, gives direction to the way in which the housing stock can be made more sustainable and priorities in the area of renovation can be set. It looks at the needs of different groups of households. Cooperation between ministries and local authorities is crucial for tackling energy poverty successfully.

A conversation with policy advisor Nyske Janssen and TNO Energy Poverty expert Koen Straver.

“For many, energy poverty is an unknown concept. People don't know exactly what it means, what it means concretely for those involved and how we can combat it,” says Nyske Janssen, policy advisor on social development in the municipality of Rotterdam. Koen Straver, researcher at TNO, adds: “It's about the phenomenon of people being unable to pay their energy bills, or having difficulty doing so, and so having to compromise on other things. Like being able to take a shower only once a week, or just heat the living room while the children are sitting in their room in the cold.”

Social issue on energy poverty

Both Nyske and Koen are convinced that recognising and tackling energy poverty as a problem goes beyond the issue of income, and involves so much more. After all, if people on benefits or small pensions can also save energy in the home, gains can be made on several fronts: lower CO2, fewer health symptoms (and therefore healthcare costs), and prevention of payment arrears and social isolation.

Koen: “So far, there has been a lack of a methodical approach at national level to measure, monitor and combat energy poverty. This could undermine confidence in and acceptance of the energy transition by society. In our white paper written with partners, we explore the role of energy poverty in the energy transition and, based on extensive research, make recommendations for policies to tackle it.”

“TNO advocates a system that makes energy poverty per municipality transparent”

New insights on the energy transition

Nyske explains: “The energy transition is traditionally seen as a ‘hard’ subject within our municipality as well. It concerns technology, infrastructure and equipment. But the issue of energy saving in the home also belongs in the social domain. That's why it was good to get acquainted through TNO with a varied group of experts and policymakers who shed light on energy poverty from various angles. The white paper also provides new insights with which we can move forward within the municipality. Such as connecting portfolios, departments and employees.”

“We need to better identify where the households suffering from energy poverty are”

No national energy poverty policy yet

This requires, first and foremost, a national policy, and this is not yet in place. The ministries most concerned - Social Affairs and Employment (SZW) in terms of income and poverty, Internal Affairs and Kingdom Relations (BZK) as responsible for making our country free of natural gas and Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) to make the energy transition a success - should bring those interests together. This would give municipalities, in particular, the necessary handles.

TNO therefore advocates a system that not only makes energy poverty per municipality transparent, but can also be generated at a national level. It includes indicators to determine the energy consumption of households, whether there are debts, what energy label the house has, and more. Many municipalities already make use locally of such analyses, which can be reported anonymously.

In addition, Koen Straver mentions a number of vulnerabilities with regard to energy use. Does someone have an extra need for warmth because he is in need of care, or conversely needs information about energy saving? Such information can help municipalities implement much more targeted policy and programmes.

“We need to better identify where the households suffering from energy poverty are and act accordingly. In order to gain good insight into energy poverty, it is crucial to measure household energy poverty throughout the year. In this way, municipalities gain greater awareness of the energy problems of their citizens.”

“With personas, a vague term such as energy poverty becomes a very concrete picture”

Energy transition affordable for all

According to Nyske, municipalities are still in the dark in this respect. The four largest cities have already tackled this in the context of G4 together with TNO.

“It is a wide-ranging and complex issue. There is consensus from left to right that sustainability must be achievable for everyone. But apart from being able to pay energy bills or not, is investing in sustainability also necessary? As a municipality you can try to stimulate the energy transition with subsidies or purchase discounts on insulation, but many households lack the financial room to make that pre-investment or find it less easy to get hold of the necessary information. Not all households can participate in sustainability and that means that there is a divide that you want to avoid.”

Concrete picture of households with energy poverty

A tool that TNO has provided to combat energy poverty is working with so-called personas, based on international research and practice. These profiles sketch a picture of how households are confronted with energy poverty on a daily basis and how this limits them in terms of comfort, health, social welfare and/or work.

Nyske: “In this way, a vague term such as energy poverty becomes a very concrete picture of how a household experiences energy problems. I myself have worked with a persona of a very elderly couple living on a small pension in a flat. You can write wonderful memos about this at the town hall, but for a targeted policy it’s good to get a well-defined picture of the people you’re doing it for. The TNO personas make this tangible.”

The white paper is written by members of the ENGAGER network, a European research network focusing on energy poverty.

Hallo, Holland!

Zaanse Schans

As per their website, this is one of Holland's top tourist destinations. They have windmills, museums, traditional crafts, shops, restaurants, and mini-cruise. Since this was only a comfort stop, we only got to see some of the windmills, traditional crafts and shops. Since it was almost lunch when we arrived there, we had to squeeze in our toilet break, souvenir shopping, picture taking and snack. I wish we had more time here as there were many things to see.

This is a fishing village and shopping street. They have souvenir shops, studios offering pictures dressed in traditional holland attire, and places to eat seafood. Their specialty food is the eel but we weren't able to try it. We settled for a seafood platter instead in one of the restaurants (Verse Vlaanse Frites). Again, I wish we had more time to look around.

Cheese and Clogs Factory

As the name of the place indicates, we were shown a demo of how cheese and clogs are made. After the demo, we were able to taste the cheese samplers with raspberry wine and try out some clogs. We bought the ham flavored cheese and a bottle of raspberry wine in their Irene Hueve shop. Feeling shala na kami ngaun.:))

the next stop in the factory is the clog shack with its clog making demo. Clogs in less than 10minutes!
and now my turn. :))
boink it!
screw it!
done it! :))

raspberry wine and cheese tasting

Hotel De Rijper

This hotel is located in a somehow remote area outside of Amsterdam. The exterior looks like a barn and when we look out our window, we can see a horse roaming the fields and we saw various farm animals on our way there. You get the picture of how "farm-y" it is. Our hotel room and bathroom are quite spacious and are handicap friendly suitable for my "temporarily handicapped" husband. bwehehe! There was a reclineable "hospital" bed (aside from the double bed) and bar handles on the toilet.

Since we still have a tour of Amsterdam that night, we had an early dinner at their dining area. Their bar area/reception also sells postcards and stamps and you can leave with them to send it out. They are also the only accommodation that has cup noodles on the breakfast buffet.

It was Michel our coach driver's last day with the tour so our guide reserved a different bus and driver on our way to Amsterdam. Our expat guide showed us the Red Light District on our walking tour. She told us not to take pictures of the "workers" as someone may throw your camera to the river or say bad words to you (at the least).

 After that, it was already our free time. We met with our friend Manny who showed us some nice spots to take photos and treated us to some place nice. It was also Queen's Day so I bought an orange crown as a souvenir. Apparently, orange is the color of royalty here so there were orange decorations everywhere.:D
Hail to my queen!
 Most museums were also closed due to the holiday so we weren't able to go to Anne Frank's house. If we had more time, we would have gone to the sex museum but because of the holiday, public buses to the hotel were not guaranteed to arrive so it was safer to ride the reserved bus at the meeting point at 11pm. Also, we might have a hard time finding the bus stop nearest the hotel being a remote and unlighted area.

Twilight Zone

Central Station At the hotel, we were supposed to celebrate a birthday with one of the people in the tour group but was not aware that we were invited.:))
