2001 I think. I don't know if this person actually had to leave for legal reasons, either because he broke a bad law or because he was facing real sex crimes allegations, or because he violated a taboo and was chased out. The rumor, as I heard it, was that he was in the middle of a consensual encounter with a young woman when he decided to try some butt stuff and then authorities got involved somehow. I remember him apologizing to the council and resigning, and I distinctly remember that he omitted the reason for it all, as if we all already knew. The rumor didn't make it to me until later.
Okay, district heating with a heat pump makes more sense to me if there are processes that require cooling and can act as the source, like lowering the temperature of treated wastewater before adding it back to a waterway. However, the heat supply for the water treatment plant should still probably come from cogeneration. District cooling with a central heat pump system also makes sense, especially if it eliminates noisy condensers on the sides of buildings.
What about when you don't have excess solar power? People need heat when they need heat, not just on sunny days. So, you'd need a massive battery for that, which has some undesirable implications. Instead, a thermal plant (be it solar, geothermal, or nuclear) can be designed to reliably satisfy heating and electricity demand with excess electricity going to hydrogen production for emissions-free steel, fertilizer, and vehicle fuel.
I guess this is cool, but even though it's an efficient heat pump it's still a poor use of electricity. It would make more sense to use cogeneration, to use the incidental heat from a thermal power plant, for district heating.
I'm not sure of the specific details, but his guy I knew got kicked out of Israel for sodomy. Somehow our school found out and he was forced to resign from the Student Council President position.
How does not growing one's party enough compare to failing to codify reproductive rights into federal law, authorizing the Iraq War, dropping the public option from the Affordable Care Act, and not sanctioning Israel; and then threatening that if we don't vote for them it will get worse? AOC has really become a repugnant little gremlin.

I think the third party estimate at the top of the NYT article makes more sense:
According to GfK Mediamark Research & Intelligence, the main demographics research firm for magazines, Town & Country’s readers have a median annual income of just $61,614, putting it just ahead of readers of Dirt Rider, but trailing Good Housekeeping, Cooking With Paula Deen and Four Wheeler.
Town & Country and similar magazines are for readers with ordinary incomes and fantastic aspirations.
