Wind power is the fastest growing form of electricity in the world. According to WorldWatch Institute, in 2007 the world capacity of wind power rose 27 percent to 94,100 megawatts. In the United States alone, 5,244 megawatts of wind power were added, enough to power 4.5 million homes. This growth is above recent projections and puts wind power on track to be a prime competitor in the power industry.
But that's just the beginning. Wind power has enormous potential that is just starting to be tapped. In fact, three states — Kansas, North Dakota and Texas — have the wind capacity to power the entire country. Click here to watch the growth in U.S. wind power over the last 10 years and here to find wind projects near you.
One attraction of wind power is that it can replace electricity from coal plants, which currently provide 54 percent of the United States' electricity. The Union of Concerned Scientists says coal plants are the single biggest air polluter in the United States. Coal plants pollute the atmosphere at almost every level of production: Mining, transportation and storage all cause different forms of pollution. Per year, there are approximately 23,000 deaths in the United States from coal power plant pollution. In contrast, wind power creates no water or air pollution, and has no emissions or waste from its distribution.
The rising and unstable price of conventional electricity over the years is another reason for the growth of wind power. In Austin, Texas, wind energy is bought at a fixed price, therefore giving customers a stable price for electricity. According to the Earth Policy Institute, in 2005 wind-generated electricity cost less than conventional electricity. This switch was due to rising natural gas prices and declining wind energy prices. In the '80s, wind power was about 25 cents/kWh, but by 2005 that dropped to 4 to 6 cents/kWh. Although wind power prices have trended up in the last few years, they still remain cost-competitive with other forms of energy.
But even though wind power is cheap to produce, building wind-electric plants requires considerable capital investment. In the United States, getting investors interested in these projects can be difficult because of the government's on-again, off-again support for wind power through tax credits and other legislation.
Currently, the growth of wind power is promoted by the production tax credit, which goes to renewable energy facilities for the first 10 years the turbine operates. The credit is good through December 31, but Congress recently failed to extend the tax credit in the 2007 energy bill. New legislation will have to be passed in order for the credit to apply thereafter.
A few other challenges have the potential to slow wind power's progress. USA Today reports that there is a shortage of power lines that wind farms can hook into. Current power lines are nearing capacity and many wind farms are not built close to existing lines. A decision on a solution to this problem will need to be made in order for wind power growth to continue.
Additionally, General Electric has confirmed there is also a shortage of wind turbines. At the end of 2007, $11 billion in wind turbines were on backorder, but now that amount has grown to $12 billion. Facilities must wait a year or year and a half to receive a turbine. The shortage is because of the high demand and the time it takes to engineer the most efficient turbine possible. The result is many projects being put on hold.
These obstacles are partly because of the high demand and exceptional growth of the industry. Nevertheless, new wind farms are popping up all over the world. The outlook for the wind industry once it blows past these drawbacks is very good.
To learn more about small-scale, residential wind turbines read New and Improved Wind Power. Or, learn more about wind farms in Whither Wind.
Wind generators at the industrial scale are not shaping up to be as green as we thought. There is a lot of technology at any scale of turbine, but it really gets complex the bigger they get. At 400' up with a rotor diameter of approx 260+' a responsible mind starts thinking about impacts to other things around a unit that size. It stands to reason that some avian species may have some difficulty navigating around these units. So where do you put them then? In Maine, they are producing projects all across these mountains here and it is gaining in knowledge that the wind is not viable enough here to justify a 4 million per unit investment. I have a turbine at my residence because I designed our home completely off-the-grid. Most of the design concepts where looking into the most efficient ways to provide what we needed to sustain. The turbine we got was a Whisper 200 1 kW unit. Rated to produce 200kW a month. I figured it should produce about 3500kW a year on average. Turns out it has produced about 140.40kW in it's first year and that is probably all we are going to get out of it, BUT, it is a truly green unit, because it doesn't require any hydraulic fuel like the industrial scale units do (60 gal a month per unit), the rotor blade diameter is 9ft and no large scale vibrations or bird and bat kill. In the manual it was basic understanding that the gauge of the electrical cable increased with every foot away from the battery bank for set-back which identifies to me that making wind energy travel is not very possible. This explains the transmission line increases to me which has a pretty serious health risk involved there,(google Stray Voltage). Conservation on the individual level as to how we use energy and taking personal responsibility of what you and your household demand is going to be the only way out of this rabbit whole. People like myself and companies like Mother Earth work hard to see green energy and concepts gain momentum and it is upsett
The notion that three states can power up most of the USA with wind power, while in theory might be possible, is in practice, much more difficult given cost of electricity transmission to locations where people will actually use the electricity. Power losses for electricity transmission over power lines are 18% to 35% for moderate and long distances (the latter number is also true for old power grids over even moderate distances) To employ the three states as mentioned to power the entire USA, and do it even in a 50/50 cost sharing agreement between government and business would see everyone's taxes rise dramatically to pay for the grid upgrade and new grid sections. To pass such an agreement in government would require a political mindset and voter shift from social democracy to democratic socialism. (read behave more like the DDR) No question such a project would be great news for the three states mentioned but it would be not so great for the other 47 states who would pay the bill through much higher Federal taxes or levies. Distributed wealth and jobs is the model I think everyone is looking for (worldwide), so when such a project idea is measured against this goal, it's merit diminishes dramatically. This is not to say the idea, promoted by T. Boone Pickens does not have merit. The idea does have merit if implemented in a much more limited form (for the three states and immediate neighbor states for example to reduce transmission costs and manage spend on transmission upgrades and new builds responsibly), provided politicians and state governments weigh the relative merits of building remote wind farms and building a new power grid to connect to them built by big multi-national concerns VERSUS producing the electricity near or at the source through the use micro and medium sized wind or solar power devices (possibly produced in country) Using small wind and small solar should not be just grid connected, but also connected to an
I was curious if anyone knows of an affordable way to make a DIY wind generator for home use?

As man and van movers for the past 6 years, in every house move whether within London or moving to another UK town we always find some items bulky, others heavy and difficult to manoeuvre and those moves require skill and care.
What are the hardest things to move when moving house?
In all cases a House Move takes 2 or even 3 men to be able to handle the specifics of moving out heavy furniture or awkward household items.
Here are 5 of the most awkward house items we have to move every day:
#1. Wardrobes
As number one we always put the bedroom wardrobes as those as pretty big and very awkward to take out of a property. In most cases we have to put them on parts in order to be able to bear the sheer weight of every single part. Some customers insist on their wardrobes being removed in one piece but after evaluation of the size and the weight of every single wardrobe, we then decide what to do. You should ask the removal company to bring its own tools as otherwise the task of moving wardrobes becomes impossible. It is helpful if the booked man and van has experience in dismantling and putting together wardrobes especially those with glass doors.
#2. Sofa beds
Sofa beds are difficult to tackle by anybody even by some movers. Throughout the years we have seen many comedy situations where movers are stuck with a sofa bed on the staircase and neither they nor passers by can do anything about it. It takes skill and great care to move a 3 seater sofa bed out of a third floor flat and up to a second floor one as it is very heavy and awkward to turn. But it is doable. One can almost always see the bed mechanism stretching out when trying to take it out of one room into the hall or vice versa. So, hiring a man and van service who had been moving sofas for years is imperative in this case.
#3. Washing machines
Trying to move a washing machine with just your girlfriend/boyfriend is nearly self killing. Heavy and very difficult to handle, it takes a lot of effort and self determination to try and bring your old washing machine up to the second floor. That's why the shop delivery men will leave it on the ground floor and it will be up to you to take it up. Hiring 2 men with a van service is the answer to the problem. They will move it to your new property with the expertise only a professional mover has and you will save on an expensive new one.
#4. Old Glass Cabinets
The glass cabinets in most houses are old and fragile. One cannot disassemble it as well , which makes them one of the most awkward things to have to move. Old locks where keys are missing or not working properly and wide opened doors are widely seen and that's why only a professional man and van service can ensure that moving an old glass cabinet is as easy as it can only be to them. Glass doors are bubble wrap protected and all other door and drawers taped. Now it can be moved.
#5. A Piano
Whether an upright piano or a baby grand those items weigh well over 180kg. All piano movers have got special equipment and protective padding. In most cases especially when a piano needs to be taken down for a first floor and delivered to an upper floor – 4 men are required. Not all man with a van service providers move pianos as they also require a Luton van with tail lift at the back. So ask before you book.

Equifax hacked. Now what?
Equifax — one of the companies that warehouses all of your credit information — was hacked, and if you're like me and 143 million others, your personal data was stolen. You can check at
link removed. Update: It has been reported that Equifax is providing random answers on this checking tool, and is using it as a means to add clients to their proprietary ID theft monitoring solution — free for one year, but then a paid subscription. I think you can skip checking using this tool and safely assume your information is compromised — if not by this particular breach, then others!
Get used to it. Between Anthem, Target, Equifax, and others, it's highly unlikely that your personal information has been secure for quite a few years. I know full well that my social security number is available for sale somewhere in a dark corner of the web.
The media will be reporting on this in detail for the next couple of days, and we'll all briefly worry about identity theft. So let's take care of a few things while it's on our mind.
1. Pay for a serious identity-theft monitoring service.
Equifax will be offering you 1-year of free service, but I think it would be wise to avoid using the services of a company that failed to properly secure your data. Zander Insurance, LifeLock, and AllClear ID Pro have hit my desk as options recently (I can't specifically endorse any particular one, so review a few of them).
Through these services, I receive notices any time there is activity on the credit file of any member of my household, allowing me to take immediate action if it's fraudulent, as well as monitoring of my other critical data. There are a lot more advertised benefits and I honestly don't know how well these additional features work, but I'm sure it's better than nothing.
2. Always monitor your finances!
We urge all clients to use some kind of daily transaction monitor to know when money is moving out of your accounts.
I get notices directly on my phone of all my account balances, large withdrawal alerts, and daily transactions from our Precedent AM Financial Planning portal. I always know within 24 hours if someone fraudulently accesses my accounts — and it happens on my credit card a couple times every year!
Contact our office to get this setup.
3. Change all of your passwords using a password manager.
Every site needs to have a different secure password — all of which you can't possibly remember. Using a password manager both creates secure passwords and remembers them for you.
For example, a common password I might use is my wife's name, "Rebecca". This password can be cracked instantly, and if I've used it for multiple sites the hacker is going to have a good time with my identity. Alternatively, "&x83JoQgBlhl", which I generated using my password manager LastPass, would take a computer 34,000 years to crack.
Yes, I'm trusting my security to the password manager. But I'm certain that is better than simple and redundant passwords managed by me.
There are other steps you should take to secure your identity, which I've written about in detail. But simply staying actively engaged with your finances by monitoring activity and using secure passwords will be a big help as you build and preserve wealth.

ICTFC return to league action as they travel to the Falkirk Stadium, to face Falkirk in the Ladbrokes Championship. ICTFC come into the game after an impressive draw in the Scottish Cup against Dundee, and they will face the Dee in a replay on Tuesday night at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.
FALKIRK -v- INVERNESS CT
Saturday 27th December - 3:00pm
Referee : Euan Anderson
Assistants : Alan Mulvanny & David Doig
THE MANAGER : John Robertson
"We're looking forward to it, we've had a couple of decent performances against Falkirk of late. It'll be another tough match, and it'll be made even tougher by the fact that we're going to be light in personnel. It gives some of the younger lads an opportunity to see what they can do if required, they need to be blooded in and it may well be on Saturday. We're playing well, we're on a good run of form and whatever team we start with will do us proud."
"Liam Polworth and Iain Vigurs are suspended, we'll check with the medical staff, but Charlie Trafford has been ill all week; obviously he got a head knock against Dundee but he's gone down with a sickness bug that everyone else has got. We'll also have a chat with the medical staff because Aaron Doran may not be available, due the rehabilitation of his knee, the AstroTurf doesn't really suit that."
"The sickness bug has worked its way through the squad, Liam Polworth had it last week and that's why he didn't play, Gary Warren had it the week before, Joe Chalmers has had it but we've managed to keep going and soldiering on. There will be three or four of our under 17s squad travelling with us."
"Paul has started to put his stamp on Falkirk, he's got a good formation which works well for them. They've gone to difficult places and won, they gone to Morton and it's not easy to win there, and it's not easy to win at Livingston and they've won there."
"We know exactly what we're going to find when we get down there, we know the quality that Falkirk possess, we're going to have to combat that when they're attacking and show our own ability when we're attacking. We've caused them some big problems and we want to cause them some more on Saturday afternoon."
Falkirk have shown signs of recovery in recent weeks after a dismal start to the season, and Paul Hartley's side remain active in the transfer market. They've now won four of their last six matches, after beating Livingston in midweek to progress to the next round of the Scottish Cup.
January has been a month of change for the Bairns with Alex Jakubiak, Ryan Blair, Connor Hazard, Tommy Robson, Andrew Nelson, Sean Welsh coming in and Lee Miller, Mark Kerr, James Craigen, Luca Gasparotto, Conrad Balatoni and Nathan Austin all exiting.
ICTFC are light as they travel to Falkirk, with Liam Polworth and Iain Vigurs suspended. Also, Aaron Doran and Charlie Trafford may be unavailable.
Connor Bell said in the build up to the match: "In the last two games they've had two clean sheets, one in the cup and one in the league. They had a great result against Dundee United just before we last played them so if we can get the first goal we're confident we can go on and get the result."
"We're always looking up the league and the gaffer says just to look at one team at a time. We're just looking at the teams above us, we're not looking down anymore. The games are coming thick and fast, there's about 12 games left so we have to push on now."
Head-to-Head : Falkirk Wins - 22 Draws - 9 ICTFC Wins - 13
Last Meeting : ICTFC 4-1 Falkirk (09/01/2018)
Inverness CT won emphatically the last time the two sides met; with goals from Oakley, Bell and Mulraney giving the Caley Jags a 3-0 lead after just half an hour.
The Bairns pulled one back late on through Louis Longridge, before John Baird added a fourth goal for ICTFC against his former club with two minutes left.

Traffic is never fun, but there was a specific instance in Japan where a traffic light was faulty for almost 30 years without being discovered. The issue that this traffic light was having was that it was green in all directions of the intersection for a full 7 seconds, and this had been going on for several decades undetected. Apparently, it had operated with this glitch without causing any issues to any drivers, until recently.
One driver was exiting on one side of the light, while another driver was going straight, and they both had the right-of-way because the light was green. This led to a collision, which ended up with a lot of questions when police arrived to the scene. What were the police supposed to do when both drivers had a green light and the right-of-way? I guess neither of them had to be ticketed at the time since they were both in the right, but it led authorities to check out this light to finally catch on that it was going green for 7 seconds in all directions every time. It's pretty interesting to think of how long this went undetected, and how many more faulty light situations could currently be going on in traffic today.

A CONVICTED sex offender who breached the terms of a court order made to protect women and children from him has had an appeal against his three-year prison sentence thrown out.
William Alfred Rogers, 65, formerly of Entwistle Street, Darwen, was given the jail sentence by Judge Simon Newell at Preston Crown Court after being convicted on two counts of breaching a sexual offences prevention order.
And Rogers, who has 38 convictions for sexual offences against adults and children, appealed against the length of that sentence to the Court of Appeal.
But the case was dismissed by Mr Justice Timothy Holroyde who said the court was unable to say the sentence was "manifestly excessive".
The court heard Rogers was made subject of an indefinite SOPO in 2009 which among other things banned him from having unsupervised contact with a child under 16 without the consent of their parent or guardian and using any device capable of accessing the internet unless he made it available on request for inspection by a police officer, and didn't delete the history.
But the court was told what in April 2016 he failed to disclose to an officer that he had a laptop. Its existence only came to light when he was reported to the police by a friend when a man asked to fix the computer discovered a video of a woman doing a private act in a bathroom, which had been covertly filmed by Rogers.
The court heard that while on bail for that offence he had started a relationship with a woman but failed to disclose his past criminality or the terms of his SOPO. In August 2016 he drove the woman to visit her ex-partner in prison and was left unaccompanied with her nine-year-old girl. The court heard there was no allegations Rogers, most recently of Market Street, Chorley, did anything towards the girl and her 19-year-old brother was yards away at the time.
Dismissing the appeal, Mr Justice Holroyde said: "Overall, the learned judge had to sentence a man with a long history of offending, including for sexual offences, who had previously breached his SOPO and had not been deterred from further breaches.
"We are unable to say that a total of three years' imprisonment for these two further breaches was manifestly excessive."

I get numerous questions of similar nature, so I thought I'd make a wedding FAQ !
Q) What do you photograph ?
A) My main photographic work is weddings, followed by business, events & portraiture work, I do enjoy all genres of photography though & will photo anything of any subject.
Q) What are you about? What's your mind-set to your work ?
A) 1 to 1 crafted work – I treat every wedding or photo job as my only project, focus on that alone, figure out the client as much as possible, do the work to the best of my ability, to focus on the end product & the quality of that work. I don't work as fast as possible to turn client numbers over & I concentrate on delivering work to the client as a 2-way process (they choose their album images for example, I don't just make a book to get it done). This is a bespoke service, for you – I don't rapidly mass produce work – I craft work to the best of my ability.
Q) How long have you been doing photography ?
A) I started to seriously get into it around 12 years old, started part time photo work about 21, been doing it full time for 5-6 years now (34 at time of writing)
How do wedding bookings work
Q) Were interested in hiring you for a wedding, how do you work & what do you do ?
A) My approach is simply to do whatever I can possibly do on your wedding day; with no complicated price lists, extras etc. Many photographers will offer things such as 'bridal prep or 1st dance' as extras to pay for on wedding packages.
I simply say its £1029 for a full day wedding, you tell me when to start & we finish when you want or the evenings party is long into the night. I don't see the point on putting artificial limits on the time, you hire me for your wedding day, you got me for the wedding day.
The main way I deliver the images is via my website – you get full res watermark free images – the way it should be in my opinion! If you still use USB drives I can pop that in the post as well – however I use my website as the main delivery method as it's easy to use, works on any device (including phones/tablets etc) & is future proof – someday in the near future USB drives will be less common place with the advent of cloud computing. The price includes a 24 page A3 wedding book as well so you will have all the digital images & a physical book full of your chosen memories – the only additional costs involved are if you want to add more pages to the book, £3 per page pair.
Q) If we hired you for our wedding, how does it work? What do we do? How do we get our images?
A) The complete start to end process of a full day wedding booking with me is as follows:
Q) You also do videography? How does that work ?
A) Same as photos! :) Except you get your video online (with private access code) & then I send out a bluray instead of a book (DVD available on request)
Q) What exactly will I receive once my booking is complete?
A) Your full set of wedding photos + ~A3 24 page wedding book
Q) How do I choose my photos/images on your website for the book?
A) Just log in – Press 'select photos' – then tick the ones you like then press 'add to favourites' – it will then ask you to name your favourites set – I would recommend calling that set 'book'. A favourites set is basically the same as an album on Facebook – it lets you add images to that set/album from the main 'master album' I send you.
You can make as many 'favourite sets' (think similar to Facebook albums) as you like in your account also !! :) – perhaps you want a set of images for your mates, but different images for your parents/family, all options are available!
Q) Does my free wedding book expire ?
A) No never ! Take as long as you like to choose the images for the book. I've had some customers choose within a couple of months of receiving their images, some have taken as long as 2+ years after their wedding – I'm not fussed, I always keep a backup of your wedding so can create the book when you have finished choosing.
Q) Can you further edit images after you have finished editing my wedding photos ?
A) Before delivering the photos to my customers, I select the optimum light, colour levels and crop, where I feel necessary (amongst other editing variables). This works in conjunction with the original photography I took – so you're getting the best possible photos in my professional opinion. I always shoot the wedding to tell a story of your day & my style is shown in my example wedding albums. However, while rare, I am happy to further edit a handful of photo's to suit your requirements, if you wish to edit a greater number - additional charges may apply.
Q) If you do everything yourself, how long does it take to edit & get our photos/video & books after the wedding?
A) As long as it takes ! :) On average a couple of months (more during peak periods) – you get all the viable photos I take at the wedding in full, the primary delivery method is digital images via my website.
I work on my bookings in chronological order, or for books - when I receive the client's choices – I add that to the book creation queue. At peak times your weddings editing may join a work queue (if I got several wedding bookings in a week for example)
As my primary delivery method of the images is via my website, editing my photos to get them in the customers hands is my top priority, the books then follow in time, once chosen by you & they are created, printed/binded.
There is usually a minor lead time on the books, as I slot creating a book in between each wedding I edit – and your book might be in a queue of several others – thank you for your understanding, I love creating your photos & books for each wedding, but I do everything myself so you are assured it's to the standards you would expect.
Of course if you send me your book choices during a quiet period, its likely there will also be a relatively rapid turn around! :)

A diet to get a flat stomach can be highly effective. There are many ways to lose weight specifically in the mid section of the body.
?Eat healthier and cut down junk food, such as replacing sweets and chips with fruits.
?Eat smaller meals a day. To get a flat stomach you should eat many small meals throughout the day. Eat just enough until you feel full; don't overeat and know which flat-belly foods actually work
?Eating raw foods are to avoid the loss of enzymes that result from cooking food, which also decreases its nutritional value. Raw food, unlike cooked and processed foods, takes longer to digest so you feel full longer some of the best raw foods are: Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumbers Dark leaf lettuce, Onions and Tomatoes.
?Add stomach exercises to your workout. Simple exercises such as sit-ups, basic abdominal crunches and turn around abdominal crunches can contribute toward that curved flat stomach you need.
?Cardio exercises are best as they will heat up your core temperature and improve circulation, both of which will aid you in acquiring a flat stomach. You should aim for interval cardio training, such as alternating between sprinting and power walking. You can try sprinting for as long as you can. When you become too tired, you should walk. When you feel that you've caught your breath, sprint again. Do these alterations for a total of 20 minutes at a time.

Farmers and gardeners have used whey to water their plants for many years, with healthier plants as evidence that whey is beneficial for their plants. Whey contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and other minerals that are essential to plant growth. However, when watering your plants with whey, moderation is key. Small amounts of whey will fertilize your plants. But excessive amounts of whey in the soil can actually decrease the amount of nutrients available to your plant.
Place a rain gauge near the plant(s) that you intend to water. While a small amount of whey is beneficial to plants, too much whey is detrimental. The rain gauges will help you determine exactly how much whey you are giving your plants. If you cannot find a rain gauge, simply tape a ruler to the side of any clear, cylindrical container.
Fill your watering can with a solution that is one part whey and one part water. Ideally, use a watering can with a spray head so that the whey is evenly distributed.
Give each plant 1 inch of the whey water solution (stop when the water gauge is filled with 1 inch of water). Avoid wetting the plant's foliage if possible. Instead, spread it evenly around the soil around the plant, taking care to cover all of its roots.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 weekly.

Since the advance of the internet, doing a lot of interactive things which include video streaming is becoming possible. The power of dynamic internet allows one to transmit both sound as well as video with very high speeds; to ensure things like video internet streaming and teleconferencing become feasible. In essence, video internet streaming is nothing more than choosing a video and audio signal in the source and shifting across the internet. This enables you to send any interactive video stream to any website that can receive dynamic info. The website that is presenting the video stream have to have a special script that can show your video and audio stream.
You can easily produce video streaming with nothing more than a simple microphone and a webcam you can also use more advanced equipment to generate the required indication. In addition, you will need some type of an encoder software that will assist you to transform the transmission into a continuous supply. In order to achieve this, the particular streaming data have to be broken into packets every packet needs to be checked out at the moment of buffering in order to make sure that the info integrity is preserved. If there is an coding problem, this can cause the loss of the coherence from the visual data, which could cause problems at the reception end as well. In any other case visual frames and also audio packets will likely be dropped during tranny and this can make the particular broadcast lose the overall coherency. Usually, your signal integrity can depend on your internet connection velocity, as well as the quality of the line itself. Your internet interconnection should be good enough so your data packets may also be being forwarded to your ISP with nominal loss. In addition, your own connection should have an overall stability for extended durations since internet broadcasting o streaming will usually take place for some time. A volatile connection can cause lot of dropped frames inside your video stream.
The most popular type of encoding throughout video streaming is flash streaming. The maximum advantage of flash buffering is that it can be played back in any kind of a browser. You can easily use Traveler, Firefox Mozilla, Google Firefox or even Opera to learn back any flash streaming regardless of the personal computer or the operating system that's being used. Hence, perhaps the user is using the Apple computer or a classic PC will not likely matter and even making use of Windows or Linux will not make a difference throughout playing back the actual stream. However, the major problem with flash streaming is the fact that it will use a larger amount of bandwidth and this can make it a worry in terms of bandwidth accessibility.
The second type of coding mechanism that you can use is actually Shoutcast streaming. In fact, shoutcast streaming is a very popular streaming method that has been in make use of for over a decade. It's especially used for audio tracks streaming and for world wide web radio stations, since it is a relatively inexpensive and easy way of loading. The shoutcast streaming encoder truly uses a sort of Audio encoder that is Winamp compatible, in order that it can be played back inside variety of different systems including Winamp player and also VLC player. Especially, a lot of online radio stations possess popped up after the use of Shoutcast streaming. However, the primary disadvantage of Shoutcast streaming is always that especially video signals can be hard to play in different type of browsers. Thus, you may find yourself using different programs for different browsers and this may not be necessarily wise for a website that demonstrates video streaming. Even so, for audio streaming Shoutcast still remains the most suitable choice.
Almost all of the encoders for movie streaming as well as audio tracks streaming can be found at no cost on the internet. However, you will have to use some sort of an information service provider to provide a hosting server for your streams. These kind of encoders will send the video flow or the audio steady stream to the streaming server and the streaming host will send the transmission to the whole of the internet. Of course, at any time that someone watches your current video stream, it will use that much of bandwidth from the host itself. For example, if you are streaming at 128 kps, than the will mean that the individual that is watching your own video stream will also be using a 128 kps of the data transfer. So, if you have a lot of people watching your online video stream, then this could cause a lot of bandwidth to use immediately by the server. In fact, with a basic calculation, if 55 users watch your online video stream or your world wide web video broadcast continuously for a month; it could use as much as 60 GB of data transfer useage from your server along with from your service provider. Therefore, this can cause large bills from your supplier.
Thus, it is essential that you choose a service provider which is able to give you affordable rates for the volume of listeners that you will have on the stream. In addition, some stream bandwidth providers will give you a fixed volume of bandwidth and they will impose a fee only for that, while many stream bandwidth companies can give provide you with a payg system. In order to pick the correct stream vendor, you will need to have some concept of how many people will make your stream or transmit. Of course, needless to say, marketing provider should also be sure that they provide continuous support for your video streaming broadcast. Furthermore, script support should also be provided, so that you can embed the compatible script on your own website. This way, you can create sure that your video stream can attain as large number of people as possible. In the end, that can be done a lot of interesting activities with video streaming and you can even start your own internet TV place or your own on the web radio. So, search at your options and initiate your personal internet transmission today.

Moore's law — applied to construction
April 19, 2017
In 1965, semiconductor industry businessman Gordon Moore observed that the number of components per integrated circuit was doubling every year, expanding the tech industry's capabilities at an exponential rate. This was later revised to a commonly held belief that transistor counts would double every two years — and they did, from 1971-2011, creating a cell phone more powerful than a vintage supercomputer.

How do you identify value?

I was having breakfast with a friend, and we were discussing value versus price. Read More


text: We live in an era where you hear the word a billion dollars tossed around here and there and don't realize that it actually means a thousand million dollars. In 1995 Donald Trump's loss was 2% of all the losses reported for that year. He schemes to use other people's money to make more money for himself while they lost everything. His Trump casino stock had an initial public offering price of $35 it ended up at a staggering loss worth only $0.17. People lost fortunes and retirement income because of this man. This man has made a career of using other people's money and then becoming rich while they lost everything. I know that we cannot reach his hardcore supporters with any message. I believe that college-educated Republicans who pay a very high tax rate must be angry at hearing that their candidate pays nothing.

On characterizing non-locality and anisotropy for the magnetorotational instability
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Farrukh Nauman, Eric G. Blackman
The extent to which angular momentum transport in accretion discs is primarily local or non-local and what determines this is an important avenue of study for understanding accretion engines. Taking a step along this path, we analyse simulations of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) by calculating energy and stress power spectra in stratified isothermal shearing box simulations in several new ways. We divide our boxes in two regions, disc and corona where the disc is the MRI unstable region and corona is the magnetically dominated region. We calculate the fractional power in different quantities, including magnetic energy and Maxwell stresses and find that they are dominated by contributions from the lowest wave numbers. This is even more dramatic for the corona than the disc, suggesting that transport in the corona region is dominated by larger structures than the disc. By calculating averaged power spectra in one direction of k space at a time, we also show that the MRI turbulence is strongly anisotropic on large scales when analysed by this method, but isotropic on small scales. Although the shearing box itself is meant to represent a local section of an accretion disc, the fact that the stress and energy are dominated by the largest scales highlights that the locality is not captured within the box. This helps to quantify the intuitive importance of global simulations for addressing the question of locality of transport, for which similar analyses can be performed.

Am I Emo? Are You Emo?
I discovered that 'Emo' is not a person nor a characature but whole lifestyle, a lifestyle that seems to be enveloping our young people, where their emotions are to the fore and they are not afraid to display them nor admit that they even have them.

Either system has its pros and cons. You will have to decide which is best for your circumstances. The codes on a keypad can be changed often to maximize security, but if you just have a keypad alone, you won't be able to open the door from a distance. Remotes are very convenient, but can be lost relatively easily, taken by children or crushed and broken in various ways.
Yes. Most garage doors can be opened manually, so in case the opener is damaged or there is a power outage, you can still close and open the door. Doors operate differently so it is best to check on the manual.
Professionals in Cartersville say that the screw drive type is best for heavy doors since it is powerful, fast, and quiet. The belt drive is quiet, smooth, and ideal for garages adjacent to living rooms. The chain drive is rugged, reliable, and suitable for most doors.

four. Offer the sleep hormonal agent melatonin a operating begin by turning lights and sound down nicely ahead of real bedtime. Soft music, studying and meditation or prayer inside a reduced light level are pleasant techniques to help your body put together for sleep.
five. A light deal with that consists of dairy goods and complicated carbs may help you drop off to sleep easier. Choose crackers and toast, cheese and milk, yogurt or cereal.
six. Maintain the temperature level comfy and the space peaceful and dark. You don't want your sleep disrupted by unpleasant temperature levels, sudden light, or sound. Draw your sleep borders and firmly insist other people value them if there are other people inside your home.
seven. If it doesn't wake you completely, discomfort will conflict with deep sleep even. You may need to consider thebest-mattress brand. Memory foam mattress support the body without agonizing stress factors.
eight. Go to sleep early enough to allow eight total hours of sleep

Merely as breaking poor practices demands time and discipline so does establishing superb practices. Fantastic sleep routines will serve you nicely your whole life.

The ITAD Works becomes the first European business to be awarded e-Stewards Certification
The ITAD Works becomes the first European business to be awarded e-Stewards Global Electronics Recycling Certification
IT Asset Disposition Company Accredited by the World's Leading IT Recycling Standard
Cranleigh, Surrey, United Kingdom, 20th November 2013 – The ITAD Works Ltd announced today that it is the first organisation accredited as an e-Stewards® Certified Recycler specifically for its European operations. The e-Stewards certification is recognised worldwide as the most comprehensive standard for the safe, secure, legal and globally responsible disposal of electronic waste (e-waste).
Chairman of The ITAD Works, Robin Gue commented, "The ITAD Works is proud to have been recognised with e-Stewards certification. Our clients have the assurance that the rigorous due diligence required to audit us has been done for them. The e-Stewards Standard requires mandatory adherence to ethical and responsible recycling and is enforced by industry experts. A key part of our client engagement is that we become accountable and responsible for significant risks and liabilities as equipment reaches its end-of-life. The standard ensures good practice and downstream accountability on an ongoing basis."
e-Stewards recyclers go through rigorous third-party audits to demonstrate they operate a recycling management system that is in conformity with all laws, including the Basel Convention. The fully transparent audits require e-Stewards recyclers to demonstrate the safe and secure handling of all hazardous e-waste materials throughout the recycling chain, which ensures no hazardous e-waste is able to harm either human health or the environment. As well as the assurance of the safe disposal of materials, data protection is also guaranteed through stringent requirements for chain-of-custody and data destruction.
The Basel Action Network (BAN), a non-profit organisation focused on preventing irresponsible trade of toxic waste, created the e-Stewards certification. Executive Director of BAN, Jim Puckett, commented, "Obtaining e-Stewards certification demonstrates that The ITAD Works Ltd has a continued commitment to globally responsible electronics recycling. As the first e-Stewards Recycler in Europe, The ITAD Works Ltd brings the highest e-waste standard for environmental stewardship to their customers."
The ITAD Works is ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certified, a fully licensed WEEE business, ADISA certified with distinction for secure asset disposition, and a Microsoft registered Refurbisher.

A Krispy Kreme karnival
Also Good things come to an end… But lets not tall abut that just rit now… A delectable to evening that started with making sweet sinister rings of decadence in humongous quantity ended with the nostalgic feelings of my past when I used to bake…
And with it came the karnival I was waiting for and everyone else will be voting for.
A doughnut Fiesta that's gonna make ure belly look like one and a shake that you gonna have when you are looking for a break….
So don't ask me of how they gonna be tasting and if they gonna be heavy or light… What I suggest is you try out my creations and to to Krispy Kreme and have a bite.

Once a stray kitten, Finn hit the jackpot with his new family! From his adopters:
Dear PAWS,
We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything that you do.
You helped our little family come together with the addition of Finn, a 5.5 lb. 8 month old orange tabby cat. We knew it was time to adopt Finn the moment we saw him at the 2nd and Arch location. It took us weeks leading up to this special Sunday, before we found the cat that we would call our little buddy. That Sunday, he had been transferred to the adoption center. He had been placed in the kitten room for only about an hour until we laid eyes on him. A little boy had let him and we managed to catch him.
He melted into our arms and we were smitten.
After coming home, he fell ill with an upper respiratory infection, most likely due to a weak immune system, being only 4 months old at the time. With the help of PAWS' Greys Ferry clinic, we were able to nurse him back to health in a matter of days. Today Finn is a curious, playful and loving cat, with a big personality. I couldn't imagine our little family without him, he's definitely brought a lot of joy, laughter and cuddle time into our lives! Thank you PAWS!
Rachel, Adam and Finn.
