Windfarms in Great Britain break record for clean power generation
Forty per cent of Friday’s electricity was generated in windfarms thanks to blustery winter weather
Blustery winter weather helped Great Britain’s windfarms set a record for clean power generation, which made up more than 40% of its electricity on Friday.
Wind turbines generated 17.3GW on Friday afternoon, according to figures from the electricity system operator, narrowly beating the previous record set in early January this year.

"There is a famous story about how Ford and Mazda applied new information technology entirely differently -- one of them successfully. The story takes place in the early nineties, when most corporations had heavily invested in automation technology like SAP. Ford and Mazda had both implemented ERP systems to improve their procurement processes. Ford owned a minority stake in Mazda and therefore had insights into their operations. At some point, Ford noticed that Mazda employed only about 5 people to run procurement whereas Ford had over 500. How could both companies run the same process, for the same type of business, with the same new technology, but only one of them was reaping the benefits?"
"There is a common set of challenges to technology adoption that is repeated throughout history." "The same is true for AI. Organizations will need to develop a new set of engineering capabilities to adopt and diffuse AI at scale."
The author (Wouter Huygen) breaks these down into 2 dimensions: developing and implementing AI solutions, and building enterprise AI capabilities. For "developing and implementing AI solutions" he further breaks it down into 5 levels: 1. Vision & strategy defined, 2. Proof of concept developed, 3. Production ready, 4. Embedded in work flows, and 5. Scaled and continuously optimized. For "building enterprise AI capabilities" he further breaks it down into 4 levels: 1. Legacy and fragmentation, 2. Frog leap innovation, and 3. Platform standards.
"The crux: the two dimensions are usually not in sync."
Next are the pillars. "The practice of AI engineering consists of 3 key pillars of capabilities that have to work in sync: 1. AI Business Engineering. Re-imagining your business processes, business model, and changing your way of working. 2. AI Solution Engineering. Developing end implementing AI solutions to drive those new processes. 3. AI Platform Engineering. Building enterprise AI platform capabilities to sustainably build AI solutions at scale."

◽Business survival skills◽
A bakery in Tapanila, Helsinki called 🍰Rönttösrouva🎂 lost a huge chunk of their business in a blink of an eye due to the cancellation of all parties and gatherings because of the #coronavirus situation here in Finland.
However, these smart and obviously humorous people quickly came up with a product that could save the day - or the whole business, actually:
Their "toilet paper cake" is oat based with a passionfruit filling and, according to several news outlets, is selling like hell.
The bakery has also enhanced their home delivery capacity and according to the owners is working long hours to keep up with the online orders !
Good thinking, Rönttösrouva - best of luck and thanks for the "feelgood news" for the day ! 👍
The Rönttösrouva website is in Finnish only

Tim Leunig, who advises Rishi Sunak, has suggested ministers could look to be like Singapore
One of the most senior government advisers has said the UK does not need its farming or fishing industries, according to reports.
In comments seen by the Mail on Sunday, Dr Tim Leunig is understood to have said the food sector was “not critically important” to the country’s economy – and that agriculture and fisheries “certainly isn’t”.

Greenpeace Founder:Global Warming Hoax Pushed by Corrupt Scientists ‘Hooked on Government Grants’....
Members of the original green movement know that it was hijacked by charlatans who had another agenda than truly helping the environment:Technocracy dominated by the global elite.
Greenpeace co-founder and former president of Greenpeace Canada Patrick Moore described the cynical and corrupt machinations fueling the narrative of anthropocentric global warming and “climate change” in a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.Fear has been used all through history to gain control of people’s minds and wallets and all else, and the climate catastrophe is strictly a fear campaign — well, fear and guilt — you’re afraid you’re killing your children because you’re driving them in your SUV and emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and you feel guilty for doing that. There’s no stronger motivation than those two.
Scientists are co-opted and corrupted by politicians and bureaucracies invested in advancing the narrative of “climate change” in order to further centralize political power and control, explained Moore.
Moore noted how “green” companies parasitize taxpayers via favorable regulations and subsidies ostensibly justified by the aforementioned narrative’s claimed threats, all while enjoying propagandistic protection across news media”.**_And so you’ve got the green movement creating stories that instill fear in the public.You’ve got the media echo chamber, fake news,repeating it over and over and over again to everybody that they’re killing their children.And then you’ve got the green politicians who are buying scientists with government money to produce fear for them in the form of scientific-looking materials.And then you’ve got the green businesses,the rent-seekers,and the crony capitalists who are taking advantage of massive subsidies, huge tax write-offs,and government mandates requiring their technologies to make a fortune on this.And then, of course,you’ve got the scientists who are willingly,they’re basically hooked on government grants._** **_When they talk about the 99 percent consensus [among scientists] on climate change,that’s a completely ridiculous and false number.But most of the scientists, put it in quotes,scientists, who are pushing this catastrophic theory are getting paid by public money,they are not being paid by General Electric or Dupont or 3M to do this research,where private companies expect to get something useful from their research that might produce a better product and make them a profit in the end because people want it, build a better mousetrap type of idea.But most of what these so-called scientists are doing is simply producing more fear so that politicians can use it to control people’s minds and get their votes because some of the people are convinced, ‘Oh, this politician can save my kid from certain doom.’_**
The narrative of anthropogenic global warming or “climate change” is an existential threat to reason, warned Moore:
It is the biggest lie since people thought the Earth was at the center of the universe.This is Galileo-type stuff.If you remember,Galileo discovered that the sun was at the center of the solar system and the Earth revolved around it.He was sentenced to death by the Catholic Church,and only because he recanted was he allowed to live in house arrest for the rest of his life.
_ So this was around the beginning of what we call the Enlightenment,when science became the way in which we gained knowledge instead of using superstition and instead of using invisible demons and whatever else,we started to understand that you have to have observation of actual events and then you have to repeat those observations over and over again,and that is basically the scientific method._
“But this abomination that is occurring today in the climate issue is the biggest threat to the Enlightenment that has occurred since Galileo,” declared Moore. “Nothing else comes close to it.This is as bad a thing that has happened in the history of science.”
Moore concluded, “It’s taking over science with superstition and a kind of toxic combination of religion and political ideology.There is no truth to this.It is a complete hoax and scam.”
