So far, over 18 million homes in the U.S. have made the switch to solar. This move is in line with the federal and state government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
Solar energy offers undeniable environmental benefits and huge savings on your electricity bills, but some homeowners find the high upfront costs off-putting. The more solar panels you need, the more you’ll pay to get your solar system up and running.
Are you keen to get on board with solar but wondering, ‘How many solar panels to power a home like mine?’. Keep reading for help figuring it all out.
Is Your Home Suited to Solar?
Solar energy is a fantastic way to make a positive impact on the world, but it isn’t a good fit for every homeowner. These are the things to consider before you install a solar power system:
Unless you’re prepared to invest your life’s savings on solar panels and installation costs, you’ll need to pay for your solar set-up with a solar loan.
Technically, your monthly loan installment would replace your energy bill for however many years it takes for you to pay it off. You need to make sure there’s room in your monthly budget for this extra expense.
Your Electricity Bill
Most homeowners install solar so they can cut down on their monthly energy expenses. So, it’s pointless installing solar energy if your monthly loan repayments exceed your usual electricity bill.
Unless you usually pay more than $75 monthly to the power company, you won’t save much by installing solar.
The State of Your Roof
Solar panels last at least 20 years. If you’re due for a roof replacement before then, it’s best to do it before you install solar panels.
If you don’t, you’ll need to pay for a solar contractor to remove and reinstall your solar panels when you upgrade your roof.
Remember, if your home isn’t a good candidate for solar, you can still take advantage of green energy with a solar power-purchase agreement via a participating power company.
Preparing to Install Solar Power for Home Use
The more electricity you use at home, the more solar panels you need. It makes sense to cut down on your home’s electricity consumption before you start asking for estimates from solar power companies.
There are a few things you can do to achieve this, namely:
Switch out all your halogen globes for energy-saving LED lights. These lights emit only 10% of their energy in the form of heat, so they use 12x less electricity than halogen lights do.
Heating appliances like ovens and water heaters are the most power-hungry items in any household. So, it makes sense to replace these with alternatives if you want to cut down on the number of panels you need to power your home.
Gas-powered water heaters and ovens are the best alternatives if you want to cut down on your home’s energy demands.
Smart home hubs allow you to manage your energy consumption in several ways. You can set limits on your energy consumption and adjust your thermostat according to your seasonal needs.
Motion sensors can switch off lights and climate control in unoccupied rooms, too.
Factors That Affect Solar Panel Efficiency
Numerous factors may influence how much power solar panels will provide for your home. These include:
Solar panels continue to generate electricity during daylight hours regardless of the weather. Solar panels produce about 10% less electricity in low light conditions.
So, if you live in an area that experiences long bouts of cloudy weather, you’ll need more solar panels to power your home.
Types of Solar Panels
There are two main types of residential solar panels, each offering varying degrees of efficiency. These are:
- Monocrystalline solar panels
- Polycrystalline solar panels
Monocrystalline panels are the more expensive option, but they produce more electricity in low light than polycrystalline panels do.
Each solar energy equipment supplier stocks different brands and accessories, and these can also impact the efficiency of a system. It’s best to consult with a few solar contractors in your area to figure out what works for you according to what they have in stock.
Solar technology is advancing rapidly concerning increased output in low light conditions, so ask about the latest advances while shopping around.
Calculating How Many Solar Panels to Power a Home
There is a simple formula to help you calculate how many solar panels you require. All you need is your electricity bill and knowledge of the average peak sunlight hours in your area.
You can look up the average amount of productive sunlight hours in your area on a solar insolation map. You’ll find your monthly electricity consumption listed on your electricity bills.
Add up all the kilowatt-hours you used over the year to get your annual consumption and divide this figure by 365. Most homes in the U.S. use about 29 kWh per day.
Each solar panel has a rating in watts. This indicates how much power they generate every day, and is usually around 325 watts per hour, per panel.
You can divide your daily energy use by the number of peak sunlight hours in your area to work out how many watts you need per hour.
You can figure out how many panels you need based on this. For instance, if you need 29 kWh per day divided by four hours, you need enough panels to generate 7.25 kW or 7,200 watts per hour.
That works out to 22 x 325 W solar panels. Most homes need between 20 and 25 solar panels to meet their energy needs.
If you invest in more powerful panels, you’ll need fewer panels, but they’ll cost more per panel. It’s best to get a solar installer to help you with this mathematical juggling based on your exact needs.
Create Unique Spaces
Now that you’re familiar with calculating your need when it comes to how many solar panels to power a home, you can take confident steps toward implementing sustainable initiatives in your lifestyle.
Apart from solar, there are many ways you can go green in your every home improvement endeavor. Browse our blog for more inspiration and check back regularly for updates.

Focus on the Family president Jim Daly is upset that the Boy Scouts of America may ditch its nationwide ban on gay membership and he is using Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor and author, to make his case. Daly cites Wiesel in a blog post which claims that allowing “openly practicing homosexuals” in the Boy Scouts will undermine “the character and safety of the boys.”
To the shock and disappointment of many of us, the Boy Scouts of America released a statement yesterday indicating the possibility of changing its policy that prevents the participation of openly practicing homosexuals.
Neutrality is often an attractive option, especially when the goal is to not offend. But in this case, I’m reminded of what the great humanitarian and political activist Elie Wiesel once wrote about trying to remain neutral when it comes to moral affairs:
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.
At stake in this debate is not just the golden brand of the Boy Scouts but most importantly the character and safety of the boys involved.
That’s right: Daly is using a Wiesel quote to compare the Boy Scouts becoming neutral on gay members to countries that were neutral during the Holocaust.

There were plenty of comparisons made to Nazis and other totalitarian regimes at the University of North Carolina’s “teach-in” held in response to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, but the focus of the comparisons wasn’t Osama bin Laden or terrorists in general, but the United States of America.
The latest skirmishes in the Culture War have resulted in a wash, according to experts reading the field journal of the decades-long battle, Lingua Franca.
In early May, more than 2,000 college students marched from N.C. State University to and through the State Legislative Building to protest a proposed reduction in state appropriations to schools in the University of North Carolina system.
One of the University of North Carolina’s greatest benefactors on Monday sued the state and the UNC Board of Governors for using “an unnecessary and illegal quota system” to ensure that minorities and women received spots on the UNC Board of Governors.
State education leaders may study replacing the use of the SAT and ACT in college admissions with the state’s end-of-course tests.
The mascots of two North Carolina colleges may violate federal antidiscrimination laws, under the wording of a statement released in April by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
The UNC Board of Governors last week allowed tuition increases at eight campuses, which drew fire from some board members.
On November 30, Clarion Call reported the results of study by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The study found that Duke University athletes post high graduation rates, while graduation rates for UNC athletes were mediocre. But the results for UNC should not be interpreted negatively, says Steve Kirschner, Director of Communications for UNC’s Athletic Department.
Elon College “A Hidden Jewel,” According to Study, UNC Voters Approve Bonds
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received the dubious honor of being rated on www.PartySchool.com – a web site that rates schools’ party scenes, gives advice on planning parties (including a list of drinking games “to get the party started”), and provides the “world’s only patented, scientifically proven cure” for combatting hangovers. PartySchool.com awarded UNC-CH with 4 out of 5 stars for its “wild” party scene.

We report a detailed theoretical study of the bonding and conduction properties of an hydrogen molecule joining either platinum or palladium electrodes. We show that an atomic arrangement where the molecule is placed perpendicular to the electrodes is unstable for all distances between electrodes. In contrast, the configuration where the molecule bridges the electrodes is stable in a wide range of distances. In this last case the bonding state of the molecule does not hybridize with the leads and remains localized within the junction. As a result, this state does not transmit charge so that electronic transport is carried only through the antibonding state. This fact leads to conductances of 1G(0) at most, where G(0)=2e(2)/h. We indeed find that G is equal to 0.9 and 0.6G(0) for Pt and Pd contacts, respectively.

There are various likenesses between the assortments of programmed tank level gauges accessible in the commercial center. This can make contrasting comparative alternatives troublesome in light of the fact that there are a couple of qualities which stick out. Luckily, contrasting one with another is simpler when concentrating on four key contemplations.
Programmed Tank Level Gauge Characteristics
The main interesting point is the particular attributes of the programmed tank level gauge itself. The most exact gauges use a magneto prohibitive sensor to quantify oil and water levels. They can likewise quantify the temperature of oil in the capacity tank. This takes into account a dependable and precise perusing which will profit the fuel the executives framework just as any whole location frameworks which are set up. This guarantees little fluctuations in the degree of oil or water are anything but difficult to recognize. Over the long haul, it is likewise to focus on how simple it will be to introduce and keep up these gauges to limit the continuous activity costs.
So as to make a programmed tank level magnetic thickness gauge as helpful as conceivable to utilize the best technique is joining it with a PC controller. World class PC controllers include and efficient purchasing cost, preinstalled wellbeing hindrance and adjustable programming. The adjustable programming is particularly significant in light of the fact that it will guarantee the general framework will address the issues of any purchaser. It additionally makes the whole framework simpler to oversee. Much of the time, the PC controller is one thought which is regularly ignored despite the fact that it is a focal part which associates the genuine tank level gauge to the PC to transmit and decipher information.
Advantageous Automatic Tank Level Gauge Configuration
Another key thought is the manner by which the programmed tank level gauge is designed. So as to be powerful and advantageous it is basic the arrangement uses front line advances for example, portable alarms, Wi-Fi associations, just as the conventional Internet. This will consider most extreme adaptability. It additionally guarantees that any basic information is not just given to central station or the primary station, yet in addition to the cell phones of any appropriate faculty.
Oil Management and Leak Detection Capabilities
The last key thought is choosing a programmed tank level gauge which incorporates oil the board and hole location framework. Joining an exact programmed tank level gauge, PC controller and flexible gauge setup makes it simpler than any time in recent memory to identify any breaks in the framework. Not exclusively should the PC controller and comfort have an uproarious cautions sound to alarm nearby work force however the data ought to likewise be given to key faculty by means of their cell phones.

Migrations and the Black Experience
This subject guide highlights records of federal agencies and collections that relate to people of the African Diaspora who migrated to and throughout various stages in United States history. With every mass movement, Black people would profoundly change the nation’s demographic makeup, influence culture, and effect changes on local and national laws, economy, and labor force.
After the end of the American Civil War and African Americans were freed from slavery, the Freedmen’s Bureau was one of the most important government agencies in the lives of Black people. The Bureau was charged with providing relief, assisted with reuniting family members, legitimized marriages, and assisted US Colored Troops in obtaining their pension and back pay.
After Emancipation, African Americans who were formerly enslaved were still subjected to unequal living conditions, due in large part to the failure of Reconstruction. The established system of sharecropping tethered Black farmers to land owners in an arrangement closely resembling slavery; white supremacist groups and racist legislation kept people disenfranchised and socially oppressed. With the oppressive conditions in the South, African Americans began relocating to the West. Starting in the 1870s, at least 40,000 African Americans became “exodusters” – moving to Kansas and surrounding states in search of a better life that was free from the domestic terrorism.
The migration of African Americans out of the South continued into the twentieth century and greatly increased during the time of both World Wars. An estimated six million Black people moved throughout the United States from the 1910s to the 1970s. They left behind Jim Crow, lynching and racial oppression, and flocked towards non-agricultural jobs and educational opportunities in the North, Midwest, and West.
What's in this Portal
The portal for Migrations highlights many of the records at the National Archives that illuminate a huge part of the American experience - the freedom of movement. Records are collected in this portal under topics that are important chapters in U.S. history. The records created by the federal government actively contributed to conditions that enabled or forced people to move; and observed and reported on the social and demographic impacts resulting from the major shifts in the population.

Yes Diane, you need to pay for seat reservations at CHF8 a pop. Reservations and tickets are two separate things.
If you want specific seats you have to buy reservations. But you don't need train tickets if you have a Swiss Travel Pass. You don't need to buy the Swiss Travel Pass in order to make reservations.
Is that clear now?

Cui X, et al. Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc 2020.
Detecting cancers through testing biological fluids, namely, "liquid biopsy", is noninvasive and shows great promise in cancer diagnosis, surveillance and screening. Many metabolites that may reflect cancer specificity are concentrated in and excreted through urine. In this study, urine samples were collected from healthy subjects and patients with bladder or prostate cancer. By using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with silver nanoparticles, urine sample spectra from 500-1800 cm-1 were obtained. The spectra were classified by principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA). The results showed that the classification accuracy of the model for healthy individuals, bladder cancer patients and prostate cancer patients was 91.9%, and the classification accuracy of the test set was 89%, which indicated that SERS combined with the PCA-LDA diagnostic algorithm could be used as a classification and diagnostic tool to detect and distinguish bladder cancer and prostate cancer through testing urine.

2 Aspects You Do Not Figure Out Concerning LASIK Eye Medical SurgeryThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be tested in a number of ways. The client might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can notify the patient and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is stressed when one faces a momentary or possible long-term loss of this crucial sense. When corrective steps are looked for, certain kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Most likely, the primary reason that this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is since the majority of its cases had achieved success.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. read this Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, many people state that the operation can be really risky.
To puts it simply, a simple error might practically cause an individual's lifetime blindness. For this reason, it is very important to think about lots of aspects prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the ideal corrective procedure one needs to go through.
2. It is not a ideal weblink treatment
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision however it does not always mean that it can offer you a ideal vision. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have you can try these out 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily indicate they have perfect vision.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the method the majority of people view it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. It ought to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other issues. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.

At its regular meeting on October 22, Mountain View County Council approved a second public hearing for Wednesday, November 12 in regards to the McDougal Flats Moratorium Bylaw.
The decision will allow for additional discussion and information arising out of the draft McDougal Flats Flood Hazard Study which has been released to the public and is the subject of an open house on November 4 in Sundre (see details below).
The first public hearing on the moratorium bylaw was held on October 9 and was closed.
Following the first public hearing, consideration of second and third readings were deferred by council until Nov. 12.

After Mons we cruised back along the Canal du Centre in Belgium to Péronnes and our last stop on this trip. No sooner were we moored up than we hot-footed it along to the beer pub we found a few weeks ago and then into the restaurant for dinner. Excellent!
Monday morning was misty across the Grand Large lake but the sun, the wind surfers and the dingy sailors soon appeared!
We waited for friends to arrive by car from Valenciennes to join us on the final leg of this trip. We had sunshine, showers and everything in between! We pulled in for lunch at Mortagne before tackling the last 3 locks on the Escaut and arriving back in Valenciennes. The last 2 locks were quite difficult as we were behind a commercial tug which kept revving its engines to maintain its position. This, in turn, made it hard for us to hold our position – we were glad to have extra crew so that Adrian could stay at the helm and use our engine when necessary.
Both Patrick & Arian enjoyed taking a spell at the helm under Adrian’s guidance.
We turned into the Valescaut port entrance to find the water was running really fast, too fast to go right through to our mooring, so we stopped at the Ponton d’Acceuille – aka the poo pontoon! Once more an unintended 180 degree turn was executed but Sylvie (on her boat nearby) came to take a line and after a bit of heaving we got well tied up for the night!
And then we all went out to dinner! Patrick & Arian took us to a friend’s bistrot where we had a most enjoyable evening.
On Tuesday we therefore had to drive back to Péronnes to collect Patrick’s car and we decided to make the most of the jaunt and visit St Amand-les-Eaux, a pleasant small spa town with an interesting history and the restored tower of the Abbey de St Amand des Eaux which was built between 1626 & 1640. The excavated site shows the size of the original Abbey which was built in baroque style, surrounded by smaller turrets – the architecture being specific to this region of Flanders and northern France. An impressive sight, particularly on a sunny autumn day.
The next couple of days were taken up with sorting out the boat and starting to pack! Not an enjoyable pastime – how on earth did we manage to cram quite so much ‘stuff’ into our ‘little’ boat????
On Thursday, for a little light relief, we were off to Bruges to visit Grainne and Andrew who are now moored in the Coupure for the winter. We made a short detour to drop in for coffee with Sally and Martin in Kortrijk en route – haven’t seen them for several years so it was lovely to catch up. The last time we saw them they told us how Martin had fallen in the river one winter evening and had been fished out by the pompiers & taken to hospital with hypothermia. Not a pleasant experience at all but he is fine now, thank goodness.
We thoroughly enjoyed our little sojourn in Bruges. Andrew had spent Thursday learning to make sausages with Terry on CarolAnn. Quite a process. Particularly, as since Brexit, you cannot import the skins for sausages from the UK – they have to order them from Holland! It was a fun evening.
Friday was a nice day and so Adrian and Andrew spent an ‘enjoyable’ couple of hours adapting and fitting their car roof box onto our car ready for the infamous final packing! Walking around Bruges is always a delight – always see some interesting architecture.
There is a beautiful ‘zen’ Church nearby which we hadn’t seen before.
And then there’s George and Margot – Grainne and Andrew’s dogs! George is soft as anything and Margot is a little minx! If she thinks he’s getting the attention she gets in front!
We all went to the beach at Blankenberg on Saturday afternoon. George was very excited as soon as he smelt the sea air – Margot had not been to the beach before but she soon got the idea and they ran and chased and played with each other. Lovely afternoon!
On Saturday Bruges was heaving! It was marathon time so the main square was crammed full of people and the runners ran right past the boats moored in the Coupure.
Our little sojourn in Bruges was soon over and we headed back to Valenciennes to complete the sale of Piedaleau and our packing!
Cheers Andrew and Grainne x

Day 10: Amsterdam, Holland
Amsterdam Travel Blog› entry 12 of 15 › view all entries
We arrived by train into Amsterdam last evening and had to stop and ask about 6 times to find the way to our hotel. All the street names are at least 13 letters long and there are tons of canals and bridges everywhere! But we found it and were pleasantly surprised with how nice it was for the price. Usually we don’t spend more then 25 Euros a night, or about $35 dollars and we always have free Internet, showers, sheets and towels (extra at some places!) and sometimes even breakfast. We were right next to the Red Light District but it was clean and decently quiet.
We walked all around the winding cobblestone streets checking out everything from the small handmade hippie stores to the coffeehouses and restaurants.
Met the free walking tour the next morning and toured all the historic sites of the city on foot. Everything from the first stock exchange building, the original coffeshop and the one that Oceans 12 had a scene in with Matt Damon to Ann Frank’s secret room-house. Very interesting all the many years of history in one small town. Holland buildings all lean one way or the other since the whole town is actually below sea level and has tons of canals and water running through it.
Kaylyn and I stopped for a Dutch pancake and fries (served with mayo...?) and very delicious then headed to the train station for Berlin. Once we reached the German boarder the scenery was lushes farmland filled with wildlife. I saw 6 mini-horses, 11 giant jackrabbits, 6 tiny deer and a bunch of pheasant things. It was like taking a wildlife tour through the German farmland.
We were doing well until we missed our second switch and the last train out to Berlin that night.

Cooperation rather than competition is the way forward on sustainability in real estate, delegates heard at Real Asset Media’s MIPIM Investment Track: Key trends, ESG, Capital & European Investment Opportunities briefing, which took place at MIPIM this week.
“Climate change and social fairness are two of the biggest challenges we face and we should all lie awake at night worrying about them because we only have a few years to get it right,” said Brigit Gerritse, head of research and strategy, Redevco. “We believe we need to do it together, lead by example but make it open source, open the door and let everyone step through.”
The focus on sustainability and liveability coincides with economic performance, because soon assets that are not up to scratch will find no tenants and no buyers.
“We need to share ideas about the cities of the future, working together with local communities to create better places for people to live in,” said Gerritse. “Real estate is a social industry, because it’s about people and where they live. An asset or neighbourhood that is not sustainable does not have a future, so has no economic or financial value either.”
Change has been a long time coming, but it is now happening as more people in the sector come on board.
“We started late so now it’s really about damage control,” said Ron van Bloois, founder & CEO, Multiple Impact. “But it only works if it is not a competition but a collaboration.”
Cooperation is all the more essential as it is work in progress, no one has all the answers and new solutions are being found all the time, so it is important to learn from each other and compare notes.
The office sector has made huge strides thanks to a new mindset and to technology. “Now we can measure light, air and space and see how they affect people in the workplace,” said Adrian Karczewicz, head of divestments CEE, Skanska Commercial Development Europe. “Sensors are learning how people behave and data gathering allows us to improve assets. Sick buildings lead to sick people.”
The pandemic was a catastrophe that led us to put a higher value on health and wellbeing and we must make sure there is no turning back.
“Change usually happens under pressure and the social aspect has come to the fore,” said Alexander Grellier, CEO, Drooms. “We now have the capacity to gather data and data provide transparency, which is the key to moving forward in a positive way.”
The mindset has changed, said Sebastian Kreutel, director, PwC Germany: “There is definitely more willingness to participate, and institutional capital will only invest in ESG-compliant assets because they are more resilient.”
An awareness of the magnitude of the challenge should go alongside a determination to overcome the challenges.
Aiming high is not a bad thing if ambition leads to action, said Gerritse: “If Martin Luther King had made a ‘I have a nightmare’ speech no one would have listened. It is good to have a dream.”


Orange County Corrections Wins High Accolades from the American Correctional Association
A team of three experienced auditors from the American Correctional Association (ACA) spent three days – March 30 through April 1 – inspecting every facet of the Orange County Corrections Department, and the results were quite impressive. OCCD received 100 percent on all mandatory standards and 99.36 percent on all non-mandatory standards. A total of 383 mandatory standards were reviewed.
“It’s one of the best facilities I’ve been in,” said Brian Neagle, audit chairperson, at the closing session. “Your intake area is fantastic.” Fellow auditor Maria Haynes echoed his praise. “I had the pleasure of going around to areas like the armory and key control,” she said. “The facility is phenomenal.”
Auditor Phillip R. Brown inspected the division’s Health Services and gave “big kudos” to the department. Brown also told Orange County Corrections Chief Louis A. Quiñones, Jr. that he had a great team and to keep them going.
In his closing remarks, Chief Quiñones credited staff for an exemplary audit. “We simply couldn’t do it without staff,” he said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am to hear those numbers. The figures clearly demonstrate that hard work does pay off.”
Deputy Chief Rickey Dumas complimented the ACA Audit Team. “With the vast experience you brought here, I knew we would get a thorough review.” He added, “It’s validating to have experienced and knowledgeable professionals from the outside come in and offer accolades for our facilities and operations.”
Deputy Chief Anthony D. Watts, Sr. reiterated his appreciation to the ACA auditors and commended their professionalism and respect. “We’re grateful for your keen eye and experience,” he said.
As the session wrapped up, Chief Quiñones presented the Audit Team with a certificate of appreciation and a goodie bag. Chairman Neagle will be formulating a recommendation for reaccreditation, which will be reviewed by a panel at the ACA Conference in August in Nashville, Tennessee.

It doesn't matter if it's not, as the switch will revert to whichever position the case is set, but we recommend taking the time to align them in order to get the case closed in the smoothest fashion.
Buttons translate fluently from the case to the phone, with no problems whatsoever being faced by us when pressing the power and volume buttons. We didn't ever experience poor responsiveness from these buttons, and they largely feel like they are the iPhone's actual buttons except for the fact that they are a little stiffer in operation.
You can still use the camera while the Mophie Juice Pack Plus case is attached, with an ample gap given to ensure the lens on the rear is unimpeded in its field of view. The case acts as a protector of sorts to the lens, given that it adds an elevated border around it so that the lens never rests on a flat surface again.
Slits that face forward at the bottom of the case are ported to allow the speaker to continue emitting its sound unhindered, and for the microphone to pick up your voice.Read more: Nokia Lumia 830 review: Punching above its weight
At the bottom edge, an adapter has to be plugged in to the headphone jack so that it can still be accessible to your headphones (the port is too deep for headphone plugs to reach otherwise), and the charging port on the bottom is of the micro-USB variety, negating the need to use your Lightning cable. You can continue to plug it in to your iPhone's charger, or accommodate a USB port on a computer.
In terms of how much extra power you get, the Juice Pack Plus is rated to give your iPhone 6 a further 120 per cent of battery life over its normal operation. This means you can use up the charge in your iPhone completely, then charge the iPhone using the case, let that run down again, and then charge the phone a further 20 per cent. It was a product that was true to its marketing during our tests, too, as we'll now explain.
A little switch at the back of the case determines whether the case is actively charging the phone or not. You can switch it on (to green) only when your phone's battery starts dipping to a low level, or you can leave it in the red position. We started charging our iPhone with the Mophie case when the iPhone's battery got down to 19 per cent (Mophie recommends you start charging at 20 per cent and stop at 80 per cent for optimal results). It took about an hour to completely charge the phone to 100 per cent from 19 per cent while the phone was only sporadically in use.
Our second charge started once more when the iPhone dipped down to 20 per cent. Starting the charge from this point, it was able to give a further 39 per cent worth of battery life in about 40min, taking the iPhone's charge to 59 per cent before the case was fully depleted. This 39 per cent battery charge, along with the 81 per cent battery charge from our first run, equals exactly the extra 120 per cent of battery life that Mophie claims the case can give you.
You can see how much charge is left in the Mophie case by pressing the button at the back. Four indicator lights in a row suggest a fully charged Mophie, with two suggesting a half-depleted Mophie. To recharge the Mophie, you have to plug it in to a charger or computer via micro-USB. The iPhone 6 will charge first, and once that reaches full capacity, then the case will start charging. Quick-charge technology allows the case to be filled with a full charge in about two hours.
In addition to supplying more battery life for your iPhone 6, the Mophie Juice Pack Plus can guard the phone against accidental drops. It features edge bumpers that can try their best to absorb shock if the phone is accidentally dropped. For this protection, it incorporates a rubber-like material in the frame across the top and its corners, and along the sides, inclusive of the bottom corners.
How much extra life you get out of the Mophie Juice Pack Plus depends on how use your phone. Suffice to say, it will more than double the time your phone can be used without being plugged in to a charger, though you will have to wait longer while charging in order for the case to also receive its charge. It's a good product to consider if you value extra battery life and don't care much about the extra bulk given to your phone.

A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It’s seen better days though and an upgrade’s well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility’s there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
I’d happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I’m sure it will grow in time.

On Friday, April 23, the film “Out There Without Fear” was screened with a follow-up zoom discussion panel, and dance workshop the next day. The event was sponsored by multiple departments at Luther, including dance, theatre, and identity studies, as well as the Center for Intercultural Engagement and Student Success (CIES) and the Center for Ethics and Public Engagement (CEPE).
The documentary highlights the Jamaican cultural tradition of dancehall. Dancehall began as a style of music, inspired by reggae and influenced by popular culture. The subsequent dance subgenre of dancehall promotes self-expression and body positivity, themes celebrated in African and Jamaican culture.
The documentary covered many important aspects of the history and significance of dancehall, both as a genre of music and as a style of dance, but it also delved into the cultural impact of the rise of dancehall. It touched on issues like socioeconomic inequality and the portrayal of Jamaican culture internationally. The documentary shows how dancehall is perceived negatively in Jamaica. In reality, it is an inclusive art form that is accessible to all kinds of people.
Popular dancer Dwayne “Kool Kid” Samuels participated in the making of the documentary by sharing his own story and motivations. In the documentary, he explained how he was introduced to dancehall, and the impact it had on him.
“Dancing actually saved my life,” Samuels said. “And it’s not just me. A lot of our youths in Jamaica who have been dragged up, brought up, and grown up in the inner city communities. A lot of influences were around me, gun violence, drugs, everything that’s bad. When I came outside after work and saw Colo Colo dancing down the street until he was wet with sweat, I would say wow, this is cool. This is exciting.”
Samuels was on the panel along with Joelle Powe, the head filmmaker of the documentary, Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of the West Indies and leading academic in the field of Jamaican dancehall Carolyn Cooper, and Latonya Style, who teaches Jamaican dancehall internationally.
The event was organized by Professor of Dance Jane Hawley (‘87) and Juan Antonio Nelson (‘21). The goal was to uplift and celebrate artistic styles that have been otherwise overlooked. Hawley noticed Nelson’s personal connection to the music almost immediately.
“When Joelle started playing the music, immediately Juan Antonio started to move, and smile, and express joy, and he misses his culture and his music,” Hawley said. “He wants to share that culture and music and that dance style with his peers.”
In the documentary, Cooper expressed her frustration with the lack of attention given to dancehall in academia. According to Cooper, other works have been published on the topic, but not enough to abolish the harmful stereotypes.
“For now I think of dancehall as a bad pickney of reggae because [for] so many Jamaicans who are ‘respectable,’ dancehall represents a culture of violence, sexuality, and all of the things that are negative,” Cooper said. “People forget that in the early days of reggae they were saying the same kind of thing about reggae. As one generation of music becomes respectable, something else comes to take its place as disreputable youth music.”
Hawley was especially excited to host the event, hoping to bring an interdisciplinary educational experience to her dance students. Hawley explained the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and the value it brings to the individual.
“Once you start to think about what interdisciplinary means, you realize everything is connected,” Hawley said. “And the more we start to see ourselves as a part of everything else, every other discipline, the body, which is the home of the self, lives and experiences all of the other disciplines. I think you can’t then stop and go back to thinking that you’re just in this room alone by yourself with your own discipline. It just changes you so much that you just can’t go back.”
Dance student Kaitlin Poock (‘22) found the event to be especially enriching. The documentary was particularly inspiring to Poock, who had not previously known about dancehall or about the negative attitudes towards the dance form.
“I thought the viewing of ‘Out There Without Fear’ was so interesting!” Poock said. “I had no idea of this type of dance form but loved it as soon as I saw it. I also was very intrigued to learn about society’s view on dancehall and how even through challenges, they kept dancing the way they wanted to and not how society wanted them to.”
The overall themes of empowerment, body positivity, and self-expression resonated with many of the students who attended the screening, panel, and workshop. Dancehall encourages dancing to be performed for oneself without fear of judgment, in celebration of one’s identity and self. It also allowed students to become exposed to a culture in which they may have otherwise been unfamiliar, including multiple disciplines for an engaging and enriching experience.


[Via Satellite 12-04-2014] The Special Purpose Inexpensive Satellite (SpinSat) has been deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) through the Japanese Experiment Module Airlock (JEMAL). The 50-kg, 22-inch diameter spacecraft is dotted with a series of thrusters that will test an Electrically-controlled Solid Propellant (ESP) system from Digital Solid State Propulsion (DSSP).
ESPs are insensitive to flames or electrical sparks. It is only by applying an electric current that they ignite, making them significantly safer than conventional propellants.
The SpinSat demonstration mission is underway through a partnership between DSSP and the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The three goals of the mission are to characterize the performance of ESP thrusters on orbit, to gauge the Space Surveillance Network’s ability to observe and characterize state changes induced by ESP firings, and to provide a calibrated drag experiment at higher solar activity than previous NRL missions.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a bunch of stuff from a former science teacher. It was some of the coolest stashes I've ever bought at a yard sale. There were prisms, magnets of all sizes and shapes, experiment guides, tuning forks, and all kinds of other stuff. There was also a big bag of nutrition information stuff, which I bought because I liked the graphics. I love vintage graphics and printing!
Basically, the bag contained a huge bunch of pictures of various food items, with nutrition information on the back. There was also one instruction booklet. When I go to looking through everything, I realized that there were actually two sets of the pictures. One was copyrighted 1974 by the National Dairy Board on the back of each pic. The booklet went with this set, as well. The other set had no production or copyright info on it, but I believe that it was probably produced by the NDB as well, since they were similar to the others. While it wasn't dated, I do believe that is was good deal older than the other set. My guess is mid to late 50's, maybe early 60's.
I'm basing that on the artwork itself, plus some of the food featured. Everything is depicted on a plate that looks suspiciously like Fiestaware! What fun! (Apologies for the blurry pics. I didn't sit down to edit these until several days after I took them, and the sets were already at the booths by that time.)
Some of the items seem, well, a little old-fashioned, too. Does anyone eat creamed onions anymore? Did anyone ever eat creamed onions? Why would anyone eat creamed onions? But, seriously, take a look at some of the other featured dishes.
Can't you just see June Cleaver whipping these up for Ward and the boys?
In addition, practically everything in the older set is a dish that would be made at home, or at the very least in a cafeteria setting. No fast food. No convenience food. Very little junk food. I know this pic is very blurry, but it indicates the serving size for "French Fried Potatoes" is 6 pieces! Of course, those are huge, thick-cut fries on that there plate, but still! Only six! C'mon June!
In contrast, the more "modern" set shows very few dishes at all. All the food just kind of floats there. That brown smear in the bottom is peanut butter, something that did not appear at all in the other set.
About the only items for serving food in the newer set are glasses for the milk, and those are slightly more modern in design than the other one. In this pic, the 70's glass is on the left and the older one on the right.
Also in the 70's set, the old-fashioned dishes are gone and have been replaced by fast food, convenience items, and junk food. You could probably trace the beginning of the US obesity problem to this era. Except for the fries, none of the items below had a counter-part in the older series. And, you'll note that the serving size for the fries is larger, even if the fries themselves are smaller.
One of the most interesting contrasts I found in the two sets was in the presentation of condiments. On the left you have the 70's set, which looks like something straight out of McDonalds. On the right is the older set, which has a little more of a restaurant feel to it.
And finally, to close out, from the older set comes a look at vintage dairy products.

As Elon Musk continues to reveal the Marxist-style political censorship, which eventually led to the banning of a sitting president, I want to share with you an analysis that I posted on January 9, 2021.
I’ll be darned if I didn’t hit the nail square on the head.
“Section 230 of the Security Communications Act states that
“No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider” (47 U.S.C. § 230)
What this means is that any online service which publishes third party content is protected against a range of laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what others say and do.
The problem is, as was exhibited yesterday, these entities can also be used as a way to limit free speech, if that speech damages the political party which the ownership supports.
There has been shadow banning of Conservatives happening on Twitter for quite some time.
For example, actor James Woods, a noted Conservative possessing a razor-sharp wit, was banned for several months from Twitter.
Other Conservatives have had thousands of followers mysteriously vanish with no logical explanation, a practice which was happening all over the place yesterday..
And, as President Trump once alluded to, Twitter was definitely Pro-Hillary during the 2016 Campaign.
What gets me, is while the President HAD a Twitter Feed, “Bots” and wild-eyed vulgar Liberals were allowed to spam Trump’s Twitter feed, making it almost impossible for average Americans to comment on it.
Why, it was almost like these clowns were getting paid to damage the President. (/sarc)
President Trump was a master of using Twitter to reach out directly to the American people to get his point across unfiltered by the biased Main Stream Media.
He also took delight in “trolling” the Main Stream Media and their masters, the Democratic Party, through its use.
America received daily communication from its 45th President, Citizen Statesman Donald J. Trump.
The vast majority of Americans own cellphones…and have been on Twitter.
That is liable to change.
For years now, I have referred to the intolerant political ideology of Modern American Liberals, such as the Democrat Politicians on Capitol Hill and Jack Dorsey and his minions at Twitter, as “The New Fascism” because of their intolerance toward traditional Americans Faith and Values and their lack of respect for our Constitution and our American System of Law and Order.
What we are seeing now, as regards the Rigged Election and the inaction by Congress in response to it and now, the silencing of Conservative voices in Social Media is a result of an amalgamation of the political philosophies of the special interest groups who have replaced average Americans as the Democrats’ Voting Base leading to a push toward changing America into a Marxist Nation.
Hate, envy, and control are the “pillars of faith” in Marxism in all of its forms, fascism, and, of course, Islam.
All of these political philosophies are the anti-thesis of who the Far Left Democrats claim to be.
Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that America is in the middle of fighting a new war against fascism which has now grown so radical as to reach the Biblical Book of Revelation levels.
f this effort by the “New Bolsheviks” is allowed to go unchecked, it will not be our Brightest and Best who will die on this field of battle, but rather, it will be our Constitutional Freedoms and our form of government, including our System of Checks and Balances, which will die ignoble death, pierced by the arrows of the “New Fascism”, going under the non de plumes of “socialism” and “political correctness”.
Fascism, in any form, remains indefensible.
All of this unethical political behavior by the Far Left Democrats is reminiscent of both the Russian Revolution and Hitler and his Brown Shirts’ “Beer Hall Putsch” which probably should have been expected, given the “New Bolsheviks” track record of Liberal Intolerance and aversion to opposing viewpoints.
Just as my Daddy did when he landed on Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944 with thousands of other brave young American men, we must look this “New Fascism” straight in the face and say, “NO MORE!”
Now, almost 2 years later, realizing that I was right gives me no satisfaction.
We are in a fight to remain a Constitutional Republic.
,,.a fight that we MUST win.
Until He Comes,
