Apparently the brainchild of his ‘energy-aware’ son Alex – as Turnbull put it in a radio interview on Thursday – the 14kW of rooftop solar and 14kwh of battery storage means that the Point Piper house doesn’t draw any energy from the grid for much of the day.

Friston’s mother died a few years ago, but lately he has been thinking back to her frequent reassurances during his childhood: You’re very intelligent, Karl. “I never quite believed her,” he says. “And yet now I have found myself suddenly being seduced by her argument. Now I do believe I’m actually quite bright.” But this newfound self-esteem, he says, has also led him to examine his own egocentricity.

This change in Kinmen’s status became possible when the People’s Republic of China, newly recognized by the United States and most other nations, initiated its “Reform and Opening” under Deng Xiaoping. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Deng had decided that China was going to join the global economy, and Taiwanese were welcomed to the mainland as Chinese-speakers with business acumen and money to invest. In 2001, to accommodate the increasing flow of people across the Taiwan Strait, the two sides initiated the first major experiment on Kinmen, along with Taiwan’s other coastal islands: direct post, transportation, and trade links to mainland China. The “Mini-Three-Links” experiment was a success, and the links were extended from Kinmen another hundred miles to the island of Taiwan. Kinmen is, in some ways, a good testing-ground. It has deeper historical ties to China than Taiwan proper, and has never stopped communicating with it. Even in the mid-1970s when tensions were high between the two sides, a few Kinmen locals have told me they continued the ancient habit of rowing small fishing boats over to the city of Xiamen for a meal and a change of scenery. No one could tell they were not locals.

Driver Injured Unloading Truck Employer: Monk Productions, Los Angeles On October 11, 2007, an employee, a transportation driver, was unloading a roll of carpet from a flatbed pickup truck. The carpet was rolled up and was sitting at an upward angle from the front of the bed. It was wrapped with a piece of rope to keep it rolled. The employee was using the rope to pull it backward when the rope broke. This caused him to lose his balance and fall approximately 40 inches to the asphalt surface of the parking lot. He sustained a broken radius, ulna, and triangular wrist bone, which required surgery. He was hospitalized.

The last time Andy Ogle fought in the UFC he was about fed up with the process of waiting. It had been eight months between fights, and he was ready to take out his frustration on UFC debutant Makwan Amirkhani in Stockholm. He was in the midst of a three-fight losing streak, which made the layoff excruciatingly long. Then things got worse. Amirkhani hit Ogle with a flying knee right out of the gate, literally a second into the fight, and immediately set about attacked him on the fence. The referee, quick to the scene, stopped the action just as Ogle was fishing for a single-leg to show he was still in it. Eight seconds was all it took to end Ogle’s eight-month quest to redeem himself. At 25 years old, he had lost his fourth fight in a row. For every good redemption story, there are a dozen with abrupt ends. Ogle was cut a month later, on Feb. 16, which just happened to be his birthday. Amirkani arrived that night and made the media rounds, while Ogle walked out of that particular cage for good. Now, he’s a prison guard in Newcastle, England. He traded one cage for another. These days he’s on the outside looking in.**Ogle was a decent fighter, not a great one. He was a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter Live (or, TUF 15), which featured a pretty nice collection of lightweights. He was pretty far down the pecking order on the show, selected second to last on Team Faber, but managed to upset Mike Rio before getting ousted by Al Iaquinta. He made the move to featherweight before making his official debut against Akira Corassani. He lost that fight, too, via a controversial split decision. His lone win in the UFC was a decision over Josh Grispi in London back in 2013. Last September, after making the decision to turn the page, he began work at a Category C correctional facility as a prison officer. The categories are in place to determine the risk of escape by the inmates, and C has its share of sordid characters out in Newcastle upon Tyne."There’s like murderers in there, and rapists and everything," he says matter-of-factly. "It’s a totally different world. I don’t know, no two days are the same. It’s pretty wild, and it’s pretty cool. My parents always say to me, because I used to work the door [bouncer], that I went from working the door to fighting for a living and now I’m a fucking prison officer, my mother was like, ‘you really don’t want me to sleep at night.’ I’m like, no, no, I just like doing different things."Ogle is 27 years old, and he finds a different kind of fulfillment in his new occupation. His fresh beginning is reflected somewhat metaphorically in his work. Everyday he shows up and spends time around people, most of them young and under-educated, waiting for a second chance of their own. Hoping for a second chance. Having nothing to live for but that second chance. Some of them don’t honestly believe they deserve one. And Ogle sees it as his duty to help provide scaffolding for the wayward souls he interacts with.  "You’re trying to help these people move on," he says. "Some of these guys are saying, f*ck this place, this place is shit, I hate it, and I’m never coming back. And I say to them, well, what’s the plan? They say, ‘I’m just not coming back, Mr. Ogle.’ And I say, ‘that’s not a plan.’ "A plan is short-termed, like, when I get out, I am going to do my driving test, and I’m going to get myself a car. And I’m going to be in a hostel, and when I’m in the hostel, I’m still going to be looking for cheap apartments around me. And I’m going to looking into getting into this work, because that will keep me from stealing. That’s a plan. Telling me that you hate the place and you’re not coming back because you don’t like it, that’s not a plan."
