New Types of Solar Technology
It is an exciting time in the solar industry right now, with various breakthroughs and important discoveries made lately to further the quest for better and better solar cells. Scientist from around the world, including top notch Australian researchers, have developed ingenious ways of making solar energy more viable and cost effective.
Thin Film Solar Cells
Scientists have discovered that thinner solar cells are capable of trapping more sunlight than traditional arrays of solar cells. By making them thinner and intentionally roughing the surface of the cells, the light bounces inside the cell which results in better absorption and efficiency.
Thinner solar cells are also cheaper to manufacture, and by improving the absorption of electrons also further boost efficiency and output. University of New South Wales professor Martin Green recently revealed that this breakthrough will also serve as a backbone to organic semi-conductors and even plastic solar cells.
Though plastic is not an ideal material for solar panel arrays, Professor Green said that the thickness that the researchers are dealing with will allow plastic to work because of the low optical density that the thin solar cell processing will require.
Nano-sized solar cells
Recently this year Australian researchers invented a nano-sized solar cell about 1/100th the size of an average solar cell found in regular solar panels. These solar cells, or quantum dots, are made from cadmium telluride, which has good light absorbing characteristics.
The quantum dots are so small that they can be suspended in a liquid medium.
This will allow solar manufacturers to directly mass produce roofing materials that have built in solar cells, and they will be a cheaper price because of its less complex process.
The reduced size of the quantum dots hasn't greatly compromised their efficiency rate; researchers said that the solar cells have an efficiency rate of 12% against the current 18% of traditional solar panels. This new technology will not be limited by your available roof spaces though, so you can generate more energy per home.
Stacked printable Solar cells
Lead researcher Dr.Udo Bach from the Monash University in Melbourne, in collaboration with the University of Ulm in Germany, discovered that stacked printable solar cells are capable of producing more energy than a single active electrode solar cell.
Dr. Bach explained that printable solar cells already have 2 electrodes stacked on each other,however one of them is inactive. The breakthrough is thatDr. Bach and his team found a way to replace that inactive electrode with an active one making it more efficient.
Although this technology is still under extensive research and development because of the relatively low efficiency rate compared to today's solar panels, researchers believe that due to the fact that it can be printed onto cheap polymers, this technology will someday revolutionise the solar industry.
3-D solar panels
Dr Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology, together with US scientists, is now developing the so called "3-D" solar panels which use fibre optic technology instead of the typical solar cells.
The fibre optics work by collecting sunlight into the protruding tip, and as the light travels down the length of the cable the zinc oxide converts it to electricity. The two stage conversion process allows the zinc oxide to convert any missed light during the first stage.
Currently the technology has an efficiency rate of 3.3%, which as an example means that a 10 watt light bulb will be powered per 4 inches of fibre optics.
While mostly still in the development phase these innovations in solar power promise an exciting and better future for us, with sustainable and clean energy becoming cheaper and more effective, and the bonus of greatly reducing carbon emissions around the world.
Premier Solar is committed to being Australia's leading Solar Power & Renewable Energy solutions provider for both homes and medium to large scale commercial solar projects. We are specialists in effective and affordable solar panel System design and use only fully certified installers and product components which pass all government standards and certifications, to enable our customers to access full discounts and rebates, as well enjoy the peace of mind of 25 year warranties from long established manufacturers.

%T IL-12 Deficiency in MRL-Faslpr Mice Delays Nephritis and Intrarenal IFN-γ Expression, and Diminishes Systemic Pathology
%R 10.4049/jimmunol.170.7.3915
%J The Journal of Immunology
%X Autoimmune disease in MRL-Faslpr mice is characterized by fatal nephritis, systemic pathology, and autoantibodies, mimicking human lupus. We previously reported that 1) intrarenal IL-12 elicits nephritis by fostering the accumulation of intrarenal IFN-γ-secreting T cells, and 2) MRL-Faslpr mice deficient in the IFN-γ receptor were spared from nephritis. Therefore, we hypothesized that eliminating IL-12 in MRL-Faslpr mice reduces IFN-γ-secreting cells and thereby prevents systemic pathology. For this purpose, we constructed an IL-12p40-deficient MRL-Faslpr(IL-12−/−) strain. We determined that glomerular and interstitial, but not perivascular, renal pathology were decreased in IL-12−/− mice vs the wild-type (WT) strain (5 mo of age). Similarly, systemic pathology (lung, lacrimal and salivary glands, skin, and lymphadenopathy) was diminished. The intrarenal accumulation of T cells (CD4+, CD8+, CD4−CD8−B220+) and macrophages was dramatically reduced in IL-12−/− MRL-Faslpr kidneys. We determined that there were fewer IFN-γ transcripts (>70%) in the IL-12−/− protected kidneys compared with the WT kidneys. Similarly, cells propagated from IL-12−/− MRL-Faslpr kidneys generated substantially less IFN-γ when stimulated with IL-12 and IL-18 compared with those from WT kidneys, and we detected fewer CD8 and B220 T cells producing IFN-γ in these IL-12−/− MRL-Faslpr kidneys. Of note, survival was modestly extended in the IL-12−/− MRL-Faslpr mice. While lung and lacrimal and salivary gland pathology remained reduced in moribund IL-12−/− MRL-Faslpr mice, renal pathology and IFN-γ expression were equivalent to those in the WT strain. Thus, we suggest that IL-12 is a therapeutic target for multiple tissues in lupus; however blocking IL-12 alone is not sufficient to confer enduring protection from lupus nephritis.

A new study has found Queensland's principals are the most stressed, depressed and burnt out in the nation, with many reporting workloads have grown drastically in recent years.
The results came from responses to the Australian Catholic University's (ACU) 2019 Australian Principal Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing survey, reports the ABC.
Queensland principals had the highest scores for burnout, sleeping trouble, stress and depressive symptoms.
The study also showed the quantity of work was at its highest in nine years, with the main causes of stress attributed to teacher shortages and issues surrounding the mental health of students and staff.
Parent-related issues were also high on the list of causes for stress.
Brisbane's Mansfield State High School executive principal, Karen Tanks, has called for more administrative support for school leaders.
"Just the extra [human resources] in the school structure, that is the biggest thing that we are fighting for," Ms Tanks said.
Her school has 3,157 students and she said she had to use money out of her school budget to appoint two associate principals to share the workload.
"If I didn't have them, I don't know what I would do."
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide has passed the 4 million mark, according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University.
And it has done so without slowing on a global scale.
While the numbers of cases have dropped significantly in Australia and New Zealand — and even in virus hot spots Spain and Italy — others such as Russia and Brazil have recorded large increases in new cases.
Worldwide cases hit 3 million on April 28, 2 million on April 15 and 1 million on April 3, meaning it has taken 12 or 13 days to increase by each million cases.
Nearly 280,000 people worldwide have died from COVID-19, with the United States accounting for almost a third of confirmed cases and over a quarter of deaths.
Experts have warned the true number of infections worldwide is likely to be far higher, with low testing rates in many countries skewing the data.
In Australia, 6,941 cases have been confirmed, resulting in 97 deaths
In other COVID-19 news, US President Donald Trump has hit back at fresh criticism from Barack Obama by saying he "didn't have a clue" while handling the 2009 swine flu pandemic. Mr Trump returned fire after former president Mr Obama branded his response to the coronavirus pandemic an "absolute chaotic disaster" at the weekend.
Trump also took aim at Mr Obama's vice president, Joe Biden, who is his Democratic rival in November's 2020 presidential election. Mr Trump said his administration was "getting great marks" for its handling of the pandemic, citing the travel ban imposed on people entering the US from China, where the coronavirus first emerged. The US has the highest coronavirus-related death toll in the world, with more than 79,000 deaths recorded.

BOOKS: Accessing Noun-Phrase Antecedents
Theoretical Linguistics Series. Routledge.
Mira Ariel
Tel-Aviv University
Paperback & Hardback: (ISBN-:0-415-00306-7)
Accessing Noun-Phrase Antecedents offers a radical shift in the analysis of discourse anaphora, from a purely pragmatic account to a cognitive account, in terms of processing procedures. Mira Ariel defines referring expressions as markers signalling the degree of Accessibility in memory of the antecedent. The notion of Accessibility is explicity defined, the crucial factors being the Salience of the antecedent, and the Unity between the antecedent and the anaphor.
This analysis yields an astonishing array of new results. The precise distribution of referring expressions in actual discourse is directly predicted. Several universals of anaphoric relations are stated. Thus, although not all languages necessarily have the same markers, and nor do they assign them precisely the same function, Ariel shows that they all obey the same Accessibility marking hierarchy. This book will be compulsory reading for anyone with an interest in the semantics and pragmatics of referring expressions, in the interaction of semantics and pragmatics, and more generally in the interaction between peripheral and central cognitive systems.

TL Summer Camp Overview and Research Findings
It was always a plan for Bridgeport's Total Learning Initiative to have an extended year – an additional month of school. Research told us that if the children were behind their more advantaged peers, they would need time to catch up! ABCD received funding for a pilot this year.
It was only 18 days in July for 22 rising 3rd graders. The air conditioning was broken, and it was summer! And . . . it was Total Learning Summer Camp from 12 noon to 3:30.
Why rising 3rd graders? To reduce the dreaded summer slump – the loss of reading skill over the summer break. With mastery tests in 3rd grade, this was the obvious choice for a pilot program.
Did it make a difference? The report is attached so you can read for yourself! It's pretty exciting what can happen in 18 days! And if you think about your school year in 18-or-so day chunks, how much could get done?
Most exciting for me was the attitude changes of almost every child. By the end of July, they were asking if they could come for another month! Kudos to Allison Logan for creating an exceptional plan, and Rosmarie Marquez and Diane Bolarinho for their support.
Unanswered questions: Will the gains remain through August? Will they make a difference in Grade 3? Will the district notice the findings and plan a larger sample for next summer? Let's hope the answers are yes, yes and yes! Stay tuned to find out!

We're moving to a place with lots and lots of snow (96 inches or more per year). She works on call in a medical field and will have to quickly and urgently get to work even in bad weather at all hours of the day and night. Her job has told her that she absolutely needs 4WD or AWD; it's basically a condition of employment.
We're planning to get a Subaru Crosstrek new. (Decent used ones really aren't much cheaper, and I might as well get the warranty for an extra couple grand.) Anything else I should be considering? I'd prefer not to drive anything too gigantic, and gas mileage is a concern.
I require a car with 4 doors. I do need room for cargo or passengers. (A regular trunk would work fine.)
My price range is $25,000, preferably less.
This car will primarily be used for commuting in heavy snow, regular personal use.
Minimum # of seats: 4
Must haves (mpg/fast/high seating position/tech): 4WD or AWD, decent gas mileage a plus

A Gift for Two Women this Mother's Day
Every sale through online florist, Angkor Flowers & Crafts goes towards providing free professional training in floristry, business and retail skills to migrant and refugee women from such countries as Cambodia, Thailand, and Burma.
With these skills and new-found confidence, they are then able to pursue further training or employment that aligns with their personal dreams and interests.
As a social worker, founder, 34 year old Sophea Chea, witnessed first-hand the many obstacles refugee and immigrant women faced such as language barriers, domestic violence, lack of education and family support.
"With limited English and a lack of skills, they are often made to feel like their only choice is to stay-at-home and look after their children and husbands. It is hard for them to know where to get help and how to take that first step to changing their lives," Sophea said.
Having migrated from Cambodia eight years ago, Sophea established Angkor Flowers & Crafts to offer a practical way to empower and support these disadvantaged women, especially those who are long-term unemployed.
Many of the women juggle the training and work with looking after their children and as a mother to a teenage girl herself, Sophea is mindful of offering flexible hours within school hours.
One of the women who has been helped by the program is mother of two, Phary from Cambodia who now plays a role in leading and teaching the other women.
"Working at Angkor Flowers has helped me build up my confidence and skills so that I can have a better quality of life. I am also showing my children what working in a good job can achieve. I have been so lucky to be a part of this program and hope that many other women will be given the same opportunity."
Currently Angkor Flowers employs five women on a job-share and project basis. A group of 10 women is about to start their second year of floristry training, where they will also learn business and retail skills. The training is largely supported by the online sales of bouquets and homemade gifts as well as from a financial grant from the Macquarie Group Foundation.
Sophea hopes that through the growth of her business, she will be able to employ more women or give them the confidence and business skills to gain useful employment elsewhere.
Angkor Flowers & Crafts has a full range of beautiful and unique bouquets and arrangements designed especially for Mothers. This year they are featuring green Singapore orchids, pink lilies, gerberas, white daisies, pink lisianthus, lavender and of course the sentimental favourites roses and carnations in a beautiful array of colours. Order online at www.angkorflowers.com.au and give the gift to two wonderful women this Mother's Day.

ABOUT ANGKOR FLOWERS & CRAFTS – Helping disadvantaged women bloom
Flowers & Crafts was founded by Sophea Chea in 2014. Sophea migrated to Australia from Cambodia
with her family in 2007 to undertake an MBA.
As well as establishing Angkor Flowers & Gifts, Sophea works as a
social worker supporting the resettlement process of new immigrants.
Flowers employs qualified florists to provide training and guidance. Trainees are given professional training in
floristry as well as personal development training to build their language
skills, confidence and self-esteem.
· Current trainees include women from Cambodia, China, Burma and Thailand.
· The floristry course is open to women from non-English speaking backgrounds and runs over two school terms during school hours.
· The next course will be held at Cabramatta Public School starting Thursday April 28.
