SHARE Email Facebook Twitter Efficiency, Innovation, Press Release, Voting & Elections Harrisburg, PA – Today, Governor Tom Wolf marked the third anniversary of the inauguration of online voter registration (OVR) in the commonwealth. The reform has made it easier and more convenient for Pennsylvanians to register to vote.“Online voter registration’s success proves that Pennsylvanians want voting to be more accessible and I’m proud that we’ve made it easier for more than a million citizens to participate,” Governor Wolf said. “People appreciate how user-friendly the system is. It has encouraged more Pennsylvanians to register to vote and participate in our democracy.”Since Aug. 27, 2015, 1,092,407 Pennsylvanians have taken advantage of OVR – 665,918 to file new voter registrations and 426,489 to make changes to their existing registrations at register.votesPA.com.“From the beginning, Pennsylvanians embraced OVR. In the first week, we logged 5,000 users. In February of this year, we reached 1 million users,” Acting Secretary of State Robert Torres said. “OVR is just one election reform this administration has championed.”Pennsylvania’s OVR system, available in English and Spanish, offers several advantages. It is more secure because electronic applications are submitted directly to the appropriate county voter registration office for processing. In contrast, traditional paper applications containing personal information may pass through several hands before reaching the correct destination. The OVR system contains the latest protocols in data security and is constantly monitored and updated.In addition, state and county election officials have found that electronic voter registration applications have improved accuracy, increased the integrity of the voting rolls, reduced time-consuming data entry and yielded considerable cost savings.As an added convenience, an applicant’s signature on file with PennDOT can immediately be linked to the voter record. Users without a PennDOT record may upload a digital signature directly to the OVR system, or mail their signature to complete the voter registration process.Pennsylvania was the 23rd state to make voter registration available online. Currently, 37 states and the District of Columbia have implemented online voter registration.Secretary Torres reminded Pennsylvanians that Oct. 9 is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 6 general election.

Sustainable Marine Energy (SME) and Minas Tidal LP (MTLP) have agreed to co-develop their adjacent berths at the Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE).The companies will utilize SME’s PLAT-I floating in-stream tidal energy technology to deliver up to 9MW of tidal energy to the Nova Scotia grid.The combined project is to be called the Pempa’q In-stream Tidal Energy Project and will be delivered in phases starting next year.For Phase 1 SME will deliver three next generation PLAT-I platforms, each producing up to 420kW, providing a combined capacity of 1.26MW.Project financing for the first phase through equity and debt is being provided by Hamburg-based reconcept Group.The asset manager specializing in renewable energy investments has been advising on the project and is establishing a capital fund specifically for this purpose. reconcept will also be supporting the financing of further phases of the project, to enable the delivery of the full 9MW of capacity provided by the two berths.Karsten Reetz, managing partner of reconcept Group said: “Tidal power has great potential, especially in the Bay of Fundy, and can help answer the challenges of the climate crisis. The major advantage of tidal power plants is their predictable and reliable output – this is very compelling from the investor’s point of view.”SME and the principals of MTLP have formed a joint-venture company; Spicer Marine Energy which will be responsible for deploying and operating the tidal energy systems for the duration of the project.Jason Hayman, the managing director of SME added: “Reaching this point has been a team effort and made possible by the strong support provided by key stakeholders in both Europe and Canada.“Over the past three years we have focused on developing and proving up our technical solution which has been strongly supported by our major shareholders; SCHOTTEL and Scottish Enterprise. This enabled SME to build and test the first PLAT-I demonstrator in Scotland, and since this time last year we have continued the testing in Nova Scotia, at Grand Passage, in preparation for our entry into FORCE.”

Tweet Share The weekend is here and a lot of you may be looking to paint the town; so here’s a few tips on how to apply eye makeup. Try these and you’re guaranteed to look stunning.You can obtain a natural or dramatic look based on how your eye makeup is applied. Proper eye makeup application is a useful skill that can help you to always look your best and boost your confidence.To begin, wash your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Be sure to pay close attention to any leftover mascara or eyeliner. If you suffer from dry skin, rub a little moisturizer underneath your eyes and between the outer corners of your eyes and temples. Avoid putting moisturizer on your eyelids as this makes them greasy, causing the makeup to run off. I recommend using primer because it gives the makeup something to cling to and it smoothens your skin; however, its use is optional. If you’re going to use the primer, ensure that you apply it all over the eyelid up to the edge of the brow.If you have dark circles under and in the corners of your eyes, ensure that you use a concealer. Use either your finger or a concealer brush to blend the concealer. Use a loose powder that blends your skin tone over the area where you applied the concealer in order to set it. Lightly apply a little of the powder on your eyelids also.Now, we’re going to apply the eye shadow. You can use a blend of colors or just one. The choice is yours! Let’s go with three colors in this tutorial. Apply a medium color on your eyelid (the lower crease just above your eyelashes), using a light brown shade or even a medium pink. Next apply a light color to the brow bone; in order to highlight this area and make more light bounce off, use either a light gold shade or any light shade that matches your eyelid complexion.On the crease of the eyelid, apply a dark color. Brush using small, light strokes, applying from the outer corner to the inner corner of your eye following your natural arch. Remember that the dark shade should match the first two shades you’ve applied. In order to blend the colors, use either a fluffy tapered blending brush or your fingers and brush lightly over the edges where the colors meet to achieve a perfectly blended look.Use either a pencil liner or a liquid liner to line your eyes by moving across the upper lash in a thin consistent line. For a sultrier look, line the lower lashes as well. Finally, before applying mascara, curl your lashes using an eyelash curler. If you do not have a curler just apply your mascara, starting at the base of your upper lashes and sweep slowly upward. If you want to apply multiple coats, ensure that you do so before the mascara dries.Now you look like a million bucks!!!
