As battery storage continues to scale, the commercial and legal frameworks behind each project are becoming more sophisticated and more critical to long-term success. From merchant risk and revenue sharing to tolling agreements and long-term partnerships, the legal foundations of battery projects are becoming just as important as the technical ones. What are tolling models and how are they being used to share risk? How are contracts adapting to new market realities, and what should developers and investors look for when structuring battery deals in volatile or policy-driven markets? In this episode of Transmission, we're joined by Louise Dalton, a partner in the Energy & Infrastructure team at CMS, and one of the UK's leading legal experts on battery storage.In this episode, we cover:Tolling agreements in battery storage: What they are, how they're used, and why they're gaining traction across merchant-heavy markets.Managing risk through contracts: How legal structures are being used to distribute volatility between developers, operators, and offtakers.Market change and contract flexibility: How deals are being designed to respond to evolving market conditions without breaking down.Revenue certainty vs. upside potential: Balancing risk and return in a maturing but still fast-moving storage landscape.The evolution of the legal landscape: How storage contracts have changed over the past decade and what's still missing from many standard structures.About our guest:Louise Dalton is a partner at CMS, an international law firm, where she specialises in energy and infrastructure transactions. She has worked on some of the UK's most high-profile battery storage deals and plays an active role in industry development through initiatives like WiNES (Women in New Energy Storage).

This means that petitions that are filed after the 21 day time period are usually considered a waiver of rights to an administrative hearing unless this defense applies.

The Ghosts and Folklore Podcast is celebrating a monumental milestone – Episode 150 – with a festive, eerie twist. For this special Christmas edition, host Mark Rees blends the magic of the holiday season with haunting tales and mysterious folklore. Get ready for a journey into the strange and supernatural, featuring festive ghosts, ancient traditions, and a mystery that will (OK, might!) keep you on edge. So grab your favourite drink, cosy up by the fire, and let's dive into a world where the spirits of Christmas past are very much alive! Christmas Ghosts: A Welsh Pub and the Tolaeth Mark kicks off this festive celebration by taking us to a Welsh pub during Christmas in the late Victorian era. American folklorist Wirt Sikes recounts a memorable visit to a Carmarthenshire inn, where the locals enjoyed good food, drink, music, and ghostly tales. But the pub wasn't just a place for celebration – it was also a hotspot for strange happenings. In this episode, Mark explores a mysterious death omen from Welsh folklore – the Tolaeth. This eerie phenomenon, thought to be linked to the tolling of church bells, is a haunting reminder that not all is merry and bright during the holidays. But what exactly is the Tolaeth, and how does it relate to death and Christmas traditions? Could the clanging of church bells really be a warning of impending doom? Listen to the episode to uncover this chilling mystery! Festive Folklore: The Ghostly Tolling of the Bells Unlike the loud, screeching death omens like the cyhyraeth, the Tolaeth manifests as soft knocks, footsteps, or even the sound of a carriage – sometimes heard just before someone's passing. One especially eerie story told in this episode revolves around a farmer who hears strange knockings at his door on Christmas Eve. These supernatural knocks were a sign of impending death, a harbinger of loss, yet a part of the Christmas folklore that has been passed down through generations. But how does the Tolaeth connect to the church bells that toll mysteriously at midnight? And could these sounds be warning of death within the family? Tune in to uncover the eerie details and chilling implications of this folklore. The Eerie Legend of the Blaenporth Church Bell A captivating tale featured in this episode is that of the Blaenporth Church Bell. This legend tells of a tolling bell that foretold death in certain families. But here's the twist – the bell would toll unrung by human hands, and the sound could be heard at midnight, signalling an impending death. In the story, a farmer helps a spirit return a stolen silver communion cup to the church, earning the promise of being warned of his family's death through the mysterious tolling of the bell. As Mark recounts, this death omen came with a unique twist: a forewarning that allowed the family to prepare for their loss. But could it also be a metaphor for the way we process death during the holiday season? Listen in to hear the full legend and decide for yourself. A Festive Death Omen or Santa's Visit? Mark wraps up this episode on a lighter note, inviting listeners to consider the whimsical side of the Tolaeth. What if the strange knocks on Christmas Eve aren't a forewarning of death, but a surprise visit from Santa Claus? Picture this: You're lying in bed, the sounds of footsteps echoing through the house. Is it Santa delivering gifts, or is it the Tolaeth preparing you for a deathly encounter? Maybe, just maybe, it's a little bit of both. The 150th Episode: A Journey Through Time and Tales Mark's passion for folklore and ghostly tales shines through as he celebrates reaching the 150th episode of the Ghosts and Folklore Podcast. Reflecting on the journey so far, which started in early 2020 during the first Covid lockdown, we look forward to more eerie stories, chilling legends, and fascinating folk traditions. Join the Celebration If you love a good ghost story and want to learn more about Welsh folklore, haunted legends, and eerie traditions, this special Christmas 150th episode of the Ghosts and Folklore Podcast is a must-listen. The festive season is the perfect time to dive into these spine-tingling tales of the supernatural. From festive food and drink to holiday ghosts and mysterious omens, this episode has it all! What will you uncover? What is the Tolaeth, and how does it relate to death omens? Can the tolling of church bells really predict death in Welsh folklore? What strange sounds are heard before a death in Wales? Could the Tolaeth be the same sound that signals Santa's arrival?

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will soon convert its tolling system to Open Road Rolling east of Reading and on the Northeast Extension. The Open Road Tolling system will be in place in January 2025. The turnpike was opened in 1940 with a cash collection system, then in the 2000's the EZ pass was added. Craig Shuey, Chief Operating Officer of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, says the Open Road Tolling (OTR) system will be safer for drivers, and will be better for the environment. “When we remove the toll plazas, the 6 or 7 lanes that exist in many of those areas will be shrunk down to a smaller number of lanes, moving the same amount of traffic more efficiently with less, less impervious surface. So, we'll be able to pull up the pavement, refocus the lanes, you know, recede and allow a more natural environment to, to, to be a part of the, of the landscape than all of the buildings and structures that go along with our existing toll plazas, “said Shuey. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) believes the OTR system is what their customers prefer. According to PTC, more than 86 percent of drivers own an EZ pass, indicating a preference for electronic payments. “So, what our customers are telling us is they don't really want to stop anymore. They for a while, they were really, you know, struggling. They weren't carrying cash. So that was becoming a bit of an issue. But by and large, the motoring public wants to keep going to get to this destination. So, what this allows us to do is really shoulder in with the majority of our customers and give them the free-flowing experience that I think they've been looking for, “said Shuey. This summer, PTC has also been focused on warning the public of the rise of Smishing Scams. It's basically a text message claiming to be from PA turnpike. “So, what was happening is you were getting a text to your phone that said, you owe the Pennsylvania Turnpike $8 or something to that effect. And if you pay it now, it will grow to $86. And they give you a, a fake website that looks like the words PA turnpike.com, which is not, but enough to close enough to fool your eyes. And when you click on that and give them your credit card information, they then use your credit card for, for, to make charges that obviously you are not, authorizing, “said Shuey. Those who receive a fraudulent text can file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

A committee of the Oregon legislature will soon be traveling around the state taking testimony on how to pay for Oregon's network of highways, bridges and roads. Since 1919, Oregon has relied on gas taxes for road maintenance, but costs are rising faster than tax revenues. One option is to enact mileage-based user fees, also known as tolls. But Gov. Kotek recently shut down ODOT's plan for highway tolling in the Portland area, due to widespread opposition. Tolling would be more palatable for new facilities, but we never build any in Oregon. Elsewhere, things are different. More than 60 express toll roads have been built in the U.S. over the past three decades, and they are highly popular with drivers. Even the remote nation of Madagascar is building a four-lane, 162-mile tollway that will provide convenient travel to and from the nation's capital. This will be the first toll road in Madagascar's history. Oregon drivers are willing to pay for the new roads we need. Just don't ask us to pay twice for the lanes we already have. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coffeewithcascade/message
Hello, True Drews! I hope you're prepared for this episode, because...it's crazy, to put it mildly. Nancy goes to Candleton to solve a mystery, promptly becomes a waitress, thinks she's carried away by elves (no, really) and goes in search of Paul Revere Bells. This is a wild book and I hope you all will get a laugh out of it with me! *Content Warning: There are some derogatory depictions of people with dwarfism in this book, unfortunately.*

The project was meant to reduce congestion and fund future transportation projects, but rising costs and uncertain toll revenues led the governor to bring the projects to a halt. Anessa Hartman is a Democrat who represents district 40 in the Oregon House, which covers Oregon City, Gladstone and parts of Clackamas County. She joins us to share more on why she opposed this project and what the governor's decision to shelve it means for her constituents. We’ll also hear from Indi Namkoong, the transportation justice coordinator at Verde PDX. She shares how tolling can be a viable tool to address climate change, but how the Oregon Department of Transportation’s approach wasn’t what they had hoped for.
In a major victory for Oregon residents, especially citizens of Clackamas County along the southern I-205 corridor, Governor Tina Kotek canceled one component of tolling for I-5 and I-205 in the state. https://tinyurl.com/52sfj84m #TinaKotek #I205Tolls #I5Tolls #CongestionPricing #RegionalMobilityPricingProgram #InterstateBridgeReplacement #GregJohnson #PaulSavas #RoryBialostosky #KrisStrickler #OregonDepartmentofTransportation #WashingtonStateDepartmentofTransportation #OregonTransportationCommission #WashingtonStateTransportationCommission #Portland #ClackamasCounty #ClackamasCountyCommission #WestLinn #OregonCity #ClarkCounty #MichelleBelkot #RegionalTollingAdvisoryCommittee #WashingtonCounty #MultnomahCounty #AbernethyBridge #TualatinRiverBridge #RoseQuarter #FederalHighwayAdministration #ODOTValuePricingPolicyAdvisoryCommittee #AnneMcEnernyOgle #VancouverWa #GoodToGo #DeanSuhr #VoteBeforeTolls #IP4 #JeffKropf #JulieBrown #LeeBeyer #DenyseMcGriff #EileenQuiring #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday
Following many months of discussion and mostly negative public input, the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) approved “phase one” of toll rate increases at their January 29 meeting. https://tinyurl.com/2rc7cwxm #WashingtonStateTransportationCommission #I405 #SR167 #I5 #I205 #InterstateBridgeReplacementProgram #IBR #PugetSound #Seattle #WSDOT #ODOT #WestLinn #Tualatin #Gladstone #OregonCity #AbernethyBridge #WashingtonCounty #MultnomahCounty #RegionalMobilityPricingProgram #WashingtonLegislature #OregonLegislature #HighOccupancyTollLanes #ExpressTollLanes #WilsonvilleBooneBridge #JoeCortright #Tolls #CongestionPricing #TrafficCongestion #FHA #UnitedFoodCommercialWorkersLocal555 #HB2017 #VancouverWa #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday
Nowadays, when we think of duck hunting, we imagine scenes of wing-shooting mallards in a marsh or stubble field. However, before the invention of firearms, ducks were not shot on the wing. They were caught with snares, shot with a bow and arrow or driven into nets. Eventually, techniques were even developed to lure ducks into cages. So for centuries before the invention of the modern shotgun, the main goal of waterfowlers was to get as close as possible to sitting ducks. And even when the first shotguns did appear, they were too heavy and inaccurate to use for wingshooting, so hunters still had to somehow get close to sitting ducks so they could shoot them on the water. They had two choices: crawl, wade or paddle closer to where the ducks were or, somehow, lure the ducks closer to shore. One such luring method was ‘tolling,' a technique that hunters learned long ago by watching wild foxes draw ducks closer to shore.
NCLA has filed a petition urging SCOTUS to hear Metal Conversion Techs. v. DOT and decide that courts can equitably toll statutory deadlines to forestall agencies from tricking their enforcement targets. Metal Conversion Technologies is a family-owned company that the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) tried to punish via an unconstitutionally appointed agency adjudicator. DOT then failed to disclose the official's improper appointment, preventing the company from seeking judicial review of the civil penalty on that basis within the normal statutory deadline.

As we ended the last episode, a party was beginning in a swank hotel suite in New York City. It was August 28, 1964, and Bob Dylan had driven down from his home in Woodstock to spend an evening with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who had become known to the world as the Beatles. Before we get into what happened on that magical evening, let's step back a little and remember that we are looking at certain key events that took place back then that were hardly noticed at the time, but would have incredibly powerful effects on the massive changes that were about to come that would shake our society to its very core. Two of those major events happened in August of 1964 and the meeting between Dylan and the Beatles was actually the second one. Let's start this episode by taking a quick look at what happened a few weeks earlier, on August 4. On that date, by a vote of 98 – 2 in the Senate, and by a 100% unanimous vote of the House of Representatives, the Congress of the United States passed something called the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The odds are high that you either never heard of it or barely remember it, but in essence, this is what opened the door to the ever-deepening US involvement in Vietnam. In a lot of ways, this event marked the very beginning of the coming catastrophe. At the time, in the battle between North and South Vietnam, the US was backing the south against the communist regime of the north. But South Vietnam's forces had been largely ineffective and the Johnson administration concluded that it needed to prop them up to prevent a communist takeover of the entire region. This idea was called the “domino theory” and was often used to justify deeper US involvement in the area. The South Vietnamese began a series of naval raids on the North Vietnamese coast and to lend support, the U.S. Navy stationed two destroyers, the Maddox and the Turner Joy, in the Gulf of Tonkin. On August 2, they reported that they had been attacked by some North Vietnamese patrol boats and had returned fire. Later it came out that the US had fired the first shots. Then on August 4, with the area under severely inclement weather, relying on radar readings, the ships thought they were under larger attack. The two ships fired at the area delineated by the radar readings and reported up the chain of command that they were engaged in a battle. But soon, the captain of the Maddox realized that not only had there had been no attack, there were actually no ships in the area at all. He sent the corrected information up the chain of command. Then, as Johnson's Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara said in the documentary, “The Fog of War,” things got a little foggy. No one knows exactly how or why it happened, but President Johnson, speaking with the full authority of his office, notified congress that the attack had happened. He then addressed the country on national TV and explained the alleged facts of the alleged situation. And calling for action, he firmly stated that the US could not tolerate this kind of aggression on the open seas. Congress passed the Tonkin resolution which stated that “the United States is, therefore, prepared, as the President determines, to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force.” Note that the key words, “as the President determines. Now there are two key points to take away from this congressional resolution. The first one is that the report's inciting incident was, essentially, a “false flag,” which means it never happened. Of course, it was only after certain secret documents about it had been de-classified in 2005 that the true information became known. All things considered; forty years of misinformation sounds about right. But the second, and by far most important issue with the proclamation is that it gave the president the right to use US military force at his discretion, without having to go before Congress for authorization. They basically gave him Carte Blanche to direct the actions of the military in Southeast Asia as he saw fit. And as events would subsequently prove, he really took them up on it. It's not necessary to go more deeply into all this here. The important thing is, and no one it knew back then, tragically, the trap-door been set and soon, we would fall into the horrifying abyss of death and destruction that was lying in wait for us in Vietnam. Now, on a much lighter note, let's jump ahead three weeks to August 28 and the party in the swank premier suite at the Delmonico Hotel, when Bob Dylan joined John, Paul, George and Ringo for an informal get together. Dylan was always a big influence on the white-hot band from England. He had hit the big time about a year before the Beatles had emerged and they really looked up to him. Now, although they had both become major forces in popular music, in reality they operated in distinctly different musical frameworks. All of the Beatles' songs were about standard romantic themes, while Dylan's carried much deeper messages. He had begun as a protest singer and quickly came to be considered the voice of the new generation. But he had recently gone through quite a change and was working on a new album called, “Another Side of Bob Dylan.” And indeed, it clearly was a very different side of the rapidly evolving artist. In his new music he was dealing with themes that were far more personal than societal. Still, on the deepest level, his new songs were every bit as revolutionary as his protest songs had been, and as deeply insightful as well, but in a very different way. One of his new songs was called “All I Really Want to Do.” Instead of being tied down to the normal roles of a standard romantic relationship, he expressed the liberated desire for freedom and individualism for both partners. He sang, “I ain't looking to compete with you, beat or cheat or mistreat you. Simplify you, classify you, deny, defy or crucify you. All I really want to do is baby be friends with you.” No one had ever heard anything quite like it before and it quickly became a big hit. But there was also a rumor about this new direction he was taking. According to one record producer who claimed he had been there, Dylan had tried LSD for the first time earlier that year. As I already mentioned about Dylan, he always has been and still is, prone to keeping the details of his private life extremely private. So, nobody knows if or when he ever did LSD, how many times, or anything like that. But he wrote a song back then that found its way onto his new album and some observers consider to be the first popular song ever written about an LSD trip. The song was called, “The Chimes of Freedom Flashing” and this deeply poetic statement quickly became an iconic standard in the annals of popular culture. Dylan seemed to have entered into a different dimension, where he was getting a sense that a major change in consciousness was approaching, that would bring freedom and liberation to those who were suffering from the slings and arrows of humanity's unending inhumanity. It was and still is quite a powerful idea. In the song, he and a companion were having a dramatic, multi-sensory experience as they witnessed what he called, “the chimes of freedom flashing.” He said the chimes were “Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight, flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight. And for each and every underdog soldier in the night.” He went on, saying they were “Tolling for the searching ones on their speechless, seeking trail, for the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale, and for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail.” And in the last verse, he proclaimed that the chimes were “Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed, for the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse, and for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe. And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.” Obviously, this guy was light years ahead of his time. Anyway, back to the party with the Beatles. It started out in a friendly, light hearted manner and stayed that way for a while until unexpectedly it went up a notch as Dylan told the group that he had brought along some rather high-grade marijuana. He said he had assumed that the Beatles were already getting high because he thought the lyric to one of their famous songs was - “It's such a feeling that my love, I get high, I get high, I get high.” They all had a good laugh because the actual lyric in the song was “I can't hide. I can't hide. I can't hide.” Not “I get high.” The hilarity continued, one thing led to another and before they knew it, the fab four, along with their manager Brian Epstein, got stoned for the first time in their lives. And it seems like they got really stoned, because, as it can happen, rather than just having an elevated inner feeling, it seems they took a little journey through the doors of perception and started having some rather profound realizations. You might have heard the term, “the doors of perception before,” as writer Aldous Huxley used it as the title for his 1954 book. It comes from the quote by William Blake, “If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is – infinite.” And that's kind of what happened to them that night. Paul McCartney felt like he was having an inspiring brush with enlightenment. He said something to the effect that this was the first time in his life that he felt he could really think. He had one of their assistants grab a pen and paper to keep writing down all deeper understandings he kept having. Apparently, as the revelry of the evening continued, at one point Dylan made a comment to them that went in pretty deep. At the time, 100% of the songs the Beatles were writing and singing were about the ups and downs of standard, romantic boy-girl love, and that was their entire repertoire. That was it. Dylan told them that he really enjoyed their music and he did. He often said that they had a great sound, that their melodies were terrific and their harmonies were perfect. But he said that even though he liked them, he had a problem with their songs and his problem was that they weren't about anything. Supposedly John Lennon got blown out and later said that Dylan's comment had produced some major realizations within him, prompting him to start writing about deeper themes that were “outside of just the meat-market.” In retrospect, many cultural historians believe that this meeting between Dylan and the Beatles marked the very beginnings of a major change that would soon completely transform popular music, which in turn, would change the entire world. We'll go into it all this little more in depth in the coming episodes so let's call it quits for now. As always, keep your eyes mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.
The Oregon Transportation Commission and Washington State Transportation Commission have formed a new bi-state tolling subcommittee to study and assess possible toll rates and policies for the Interstate 5 bridge. http://tinyurl.com/4244yw97 #OregonTransportationCommission #WashingtonStateTransportationCommission #BiStateTollingSubcommittee #TollRates #Policies #Interstate5Bridge #I5Bridge #InterstateBridgeReplacementProject #InterstateBridgeReplacementProgram #ColumbiaRiver #VancouverWa #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday
Today's premiere comes in the form of Parisian artist, Solma and their half time thriller, Apoapsis. Tolling like bells in the distance, the wobbling melodies are stretched and elongated to their max as frenetic hi hats and snares dance around, creating that ebb and flow so well known. The track brings an air of seriousness, one for those head down moments of dancing bliss, surrounded by smoke and like-minded ravers. Apoapsis is joined by three other tracks to round out the Ether Drift EP and will be out into the world, the 22nd of February on the wonderful Crescent London imprint. @solmadj @crescent-london www.instagram.com/solma.als www.instagram.com/crescent.london/ Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.itsdelayed.com www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed
Matty Dalrymple talks with JP Rindfleisch about THE TOLLING BELL & THE STORY HYPOTHESIS, including the formula of Story Hypothesis (initial want + developing need + true need); the nine fundamental needs and identifying the driving needs; using the Story Hypothesis to create a resonating theme; the downside of how the concept of "theme" is usually taught; the power of a non-hierarchical approach; applying the Story Hypothesis to a series; and considering the driving needs of the antagonist (with a fun conversation about Hannibal Lecter).
