INTRODUTION Photovoltaic energy is a source of interesting energy. It is renewable, inexhaustible and nonpolluting, and that it is more and more intensively used as energy sources in various applications. Photovoltaic systems have been the worldwide fast growing energy source because of the increase in energy demand and the fact that fossil energy sources are finite, and that they are expensive. Furthermore, the impacts that the energy technology has on the environment which make the photovoltaic become a mature technology in used (Jung H. J. and Ahmed S., 2010). The increase in a number of Photovoltaic system installed all over the world brought the need for proper supervision and control algorithms as well as modeling and simulation tool for researcher and practitioners involved in its application is very necessary. The modeling and simulation of photovoltaic (PV) have made a great transition and form an important part of power generation in this present age. The modeling of PV module generally involves the approximation of the non-linear I-V curve. Many researchers used circuit based approach to characterize the PV module of which the simplest model is the current source in parallel to a diode (Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Altas H. I. et al., 2007; Nena S. et al., 2010 and Gradella Marcelo et al., 2007). In a PV system, peak power point changes continuously due to environmental variations, sometime substantial drop in power especially during partial shading conditions. Several computational methods are proposed by several researchers (Ishaque K, Zainal Salam, 2011, Dell R. V. et al., 2010, Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Jung J. H. and Ahmed S., 2010 and Walker G., 2001; Dell Aquila R. V., 2010; Ebrahim M., 2007). Simple circuit-based photovoltaic model has proposed in (Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Jung J. H. and Ahmed S., 2010; Walker G., 2001; Yushaizad Yusof, et al., 2004 and Jung Jee-Hoon, Ahmed S., 2010). Indirect methods have also been proposed by some researchers where the, I-V curve is adjusted through artificial intelligence techniques (Veerachary M., 2005;
Chowdhury S., Chowdhury S.P., 2008; Zegaoui A., 2011; Ramaprabha R. and Mathur B. L., 2011). Although some of these methods are impractical, complicated and require high computational effort, and some of these modeling was limited to simulation of photovoltaic module characteristics. Thus, because of the numerous challenges, an accurate and comprehensive design of PV system using the detailed circuit model in MATLAB Simulink model was proposed. In section II, the circuit model of the PV module system is shown. Section III, the mathematical equations of the PV module (cells) and the Simulink model for these equations of the PV module is presented. In section IV, the numerical results for different temperature and irradiance conditions is presented. Section V presents the discussion and conclusion of the modeling process. Detailed of the circuit model of the PV cell is discussed in the next section. THE CIRCUIT MODELS OF THE PV MODULES Photovoltaic cell models have long been a source for the description of photovoltaic cell behaviors for researchers and professionals. The most common model used to predict energy production in photovoltaic cell modeling is the single diode circuit model (Ishaque K, Zainal Salam, 2011; Dell R. V. et al., 2010; Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Jung J. H. and Ahmed S., 2010 and Walker G., 2001) shown in Figure-1. The ideal photovoltaic module consists of a single diode connected in parallel with a light generated current source ( ) as shown in Figure-1. The equation for the output current is given by: Where
Figure-1. Solar cell model using single diode The light current depends on both irradiance and temperature. It is measured at some reference conditions. Thus, Figure-2. Solar cell model using single diode with . The equation that describes the I-V characteristic of the circuit in Figure-2 is given by;
Where is the photocurrent in (A) which is the light-generated current at the nominal condition (25oC and 1000W/m2), Ki is the short-circuit current/temperature coefficient at (0.0017A/K), and are the actual and reference temperature in K, is the irraiation on the device surface, and 1000W/m2 is the nominal irradiation (Pandiarajan N. et al., 2011). Equation (2) does not adequately represent the behavior of the cell when subjected to environmental variations, especially at low voltage (Ishaque K., 2011; Chowdhury S. et al., 2008; Nishioka K. et al., 2007; Issam Houssamo, 2010). A more practical model is shown in Figure-2, where and represents trepresentent series and parallel resistance, respectively. In this propose model, a current source which depends on solar radiation and cell temperature; a diode in depends mainly on which the inverse saturation current and a the operating temperature; a series resistance which takes into account the resistive shunt resistance losses.
is given as:
Where is the diode saturation current (A). The basic equation that describes the current output of the photovoltaic (PV) module of the single-diode model is as given in equation (8). Thus,
Where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10-23 J K ), (Pandiarajan N. et al., 2011) q is the electronic charge (1.602 x 10-19 C), T is the cell temperature (K); A is the diode ideality factor, the series resistance () and is the shunt resistance (). is the number of cells connected in series = 36. Np is the numbr of cells The connected in parallel = 1, nonlinear and implicit equation given by Equation (4) depend on the incident solar irradiance, the cell temperature, and on their reference values (Ishaque K, Zainal Salam, 2011; Dell R. V. et al., 2010; Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Jung J. H. and Ahmed S., 2010 and Walker G., 2001). These reference values are generally provided by manufacturers of PV modules for specified operating condition such as STC (Standard Test Conditions) for which the irradiance is 1000 W/m2 and the-1
cell temperature is 25oC. Real operating conditions are always different from the standard conditions, and mismatch effects can also affect the real values of these meatoparameters (Yushaizad Yusof, et al., 2004; Ishaque K. et al., 2011). The use of the simplified circuit model for this work makes it suitable for power electronics designers to have an easy and effective model for the simulation of photovoltaic devices with power converters. The value of the parallel resistance is generally high and hence neglected to simplify the model (Villalva M. G. et al., 2009; Nishioka K. et al., 2007). A procedure based on Simulink model to determine the values to these parameters is proposed. The evaluation of these model parameters at real condition of irradiance and temperature of the target PV modules are then determined according to their initial values.
www.arpnjournals.com The detailed steps to this procedure for the Simulink model are given in the next section. SIMULINK MODELING FOR PV MODULE MXS 60 PV Module is taken as the reference module for simulation and the data sheet details are given in Table-1. A block diagram of the stage by stage model based upon the equations of PV model is represented in Simulink environment as given in Figures 3 to 9. These models are developed in moderate complexity to include the temperature dependence of the photo current source, the saturation current through the diode, and a series resistance is considered based upon the shackle diode equation as in (1)-(8) (Ishaque K, Zainal Salam, 2011; Dell R. V. et al., 2010; Da Silva R. M. et al., 2010; Jung J. H. and Ahmed S., 2010 and Walker G., 2001; Pandiarajan N. et al., 2011). Since the main objective is to develop a functional PV model for the Simulink environment, the system is modeled to supply power to the load.

Stage G:
Figure-9. This is the final model which takes irradiation, operating temperature and Module voltage as input and gives the output current and output voltage . THE SIMULATION RESULTS The model of the PV module was implemented using a Matlab Simulink model. The model parameters are evaluated during execution using the equations listed as in the previous section. The PV module chosen for this simulation is MXS60, which provides 60W nominal maximum power and has 36 series connected cells (Pandiarajan N. et al., 2011; Aissa Chouder, 2011). The parameter specification of the module is as shown in Table-1. The model was built in stages as indicated above starting from stage A to the final model. The subsystem contains all the mathematical equations of every stage model block. Figure-10 shows the I-V output characteristics of PV module with varying irradiance at the constant temperatures. It is depicted that the PV output current varies drastically with insulation conditions and there is an optimum operating point such that the PV system delivers its maximum possible power to the load. The optimum operating points changes with the solar insulation, temperature and load conditions. Figure-11 shows the P-V out characteristics of the PV module with varying irradiance at the constant temperatures (Pandiarajan N. et al., 2011; Altas I.H. and Sharaf A.M., 2007; Yushaizad Yusof, 2004). From the graphs when the irradiance increases, the current and voltage output also increases. This result shows the net increase in power output with an increase in irradiance at the constant temperatures. Furthermore, it is well known that for a certain PV panel, the voltage-power characteristics are fixed for each insolation without intersection, as shown in Figure-11. Hence, for any given PV voltage and power, the corresponding insolation can be estimated (Nema S. et al., 2010). The I-V and P-V characteristics under constant irradiance with varying temperature are presented in Figure 12 and 13, respectively. When the operating temperature increases, the current output increases marginally but the voltage output decreases drastically, which result in net reduction in power output with a rise in temperature.

Figure-13. P-V characteristic-constant irradiance (1000W/sqm) varying temperature. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS An accurate PV module electrical model is presented and demonstrated in Matlab Simulink. In section II, in Equation (1) and Figure-2, it can be seen that the PV current Isc is a function of the solar irradiation and is the only energy conversion process in which light energy is converted to electrical energy. Equations, (6) and (7), indicate that PV voltage is a function of the junction
www.arpnjournals.com voltage across the diode, which is the material property of the semiconductors, susceptible to failure at higher temperatures. The physical equations governing the PV module (also applicable to PV cell) is elaborately presented with numerical values of module saturation current at various temperatures. Hence, this circuit model presents the relationship between module parameters and circuit performance. This involves the step-by-step method for the PV modeling in Matlab Simulink. This paper provides a clear and concise understanding of the, I-V and P-V characteristics of PV module, which will serve as the model for researchers and expert in the field of PV modeling.

The White Paper on Raising the Standard has produced varied reactions. At question time following a paper on spirituality in education delivered at St Andrew's College by Professor John Haldane of St Andrews University, the first questioner claimed the contents of the White Paper had had an effect on him that was almost emetic. He did not put it quite like that but this is a polite journal.
The main ground of his complaint, so far as one can gather, is that Government policy is narrowly focused on the material, the immediate and the pragmatic, ignoring "the person", the spiritual dimension of life and lacking long-term vision. There is plenty of scope for debate about that but a discussion about the need for vision draws the attention, at least of those of us with a sense of the history of Scottish education, to the final section of the White Paper, which indicates the Government's intention to reconstitute the Advisory Council on Education in Scotland.
Now some people might argue that Scottish education needs another advisory body as much as we all need a hole in the head. We are inundated with advisory bodies. Members of the "leadership class" and the "policy community" spend vast amounts of time serving on them. Classroom teachers' lives are dominated by endless recommendations which many practitioners perceive as the main source of stress in their lives.
The White Paper itself provides a list of standing bodies from which the Government receives "expert educational advice", such as the Scottish Consultative Council on the Curriculum and the Scottish Council for Educational Technology. And, of course, the structure of advice keeps changing; witness the new Scottish Qualifications Authority. So who needs an advisory council?
The White Paper argues the need to involve in the advisory process "people not directly involved with education on a day-to-day basis". This may reflect the New Right's distrust of provider self-interest in public services. It refers with approval to the work of the Scottish Economic Council which, it claims, has brought to the Government's attention a "wide range of views relevant to Scotland's economic performance and circumstances". A similar forum, it argues, is needed in education to provide a focus for public debate.
The proposal to revive the Advisory Council should be strongly welcomed. To understand why, a little history is in order. It will be noted that the Government does not require new statutory powers to set up the council. These already exist in terms of Section 71 of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. That Act, however, merely re-enacted legislative provisions first introduced in the Education (Scotland) Act 1918. Between the wars and, above all, during and immediately after the Second World War, the Advisory Council was of immense significance, producing a series of memorable reports. In my opinion the council's 1947 report on secondary education was the most impressive document produced on education in Scotland since Knox's First Book of Discipline in 1561.
The council ceased to exist de facto in 1961 but not de jure since the legislative power to call it into being remained. However, following the creation of the Scottish Consultative Committee (later Council) on the Curriculum in 1965 it was not felt necessary, until now, to reconstitute the Advisory Council.
Some powerful arguments in favour of the Advisory Council are not advanced in the White Paper and which might not appeal to governments of whatever political hue. In their classic study, Governing Education: A Sociology of Policy since the War, McPherson and Raab claim that the policy process in the 1960s "replaced a potentially synoptic Advisory Council with a segmented array of bodies, each with a restricted remit, co-ordinated mainly through the Inspectorate". In other words, divide and rule.
The most persuasive argument in favour of reviving the Advisory Council is the need for a body to take a broad, long-term view of the relationship between education and society, if necessary adopting a stance uncongenial to the government of the day. At times the old Advisory Council, not least under the influence of its most distinguished chairman, Sir James Robertson, did precisely that, often leading to its advice being ignored. The present Government is seeking to pre-empt such a development by insisting that the new council will be chaired by the Minister for Education.
The Government has also indicated that it will, at least initially, seek advice from the council on the structure of the teaching profession, links between education, training, business and industry, and resource allocation among various sectors of education. These are important and weighty matters. Yet there are others on which an informed synoptic view leading to an equally informed public debate are urgently needed. My friend, the interlocutor of Professor Haldane, should note that the 1947 report, Secondary Education, was replete with references to spirituality. Reacting to the Holocaust it stressed "the sacredness and abiding significance of the individual" and emphasised the need "to promote the growth of free and rational beings, of spiritual personalities". It saw the education system as fostering Christian Democracy.
The importance of spirituality has re-emerged in educational thought, not least in work on educational management, for example in the writings of Terence Deal. Spokespersons for all the political parties are stressing the importance of citizenship amid growing concern about the emergence of an alienated underclass, the demotivation of boys, indiscipline and health.
We are moving to the start of a new millennium in which work will be characterised by insecurity and short-term contracts. The nature and purpose of our institutions is in question, not least that of our universities. The dramatic fall in the birth rate has raised questions still to be addressed never mind answered. A synoptic, critical and visionary perspective on education and society is as badly needed now as it was during the war. The return of the Advisory Council is both welcome and overdue.

You might compare the single life and the married life to someone who is crossing a body of water. You can take a kayak (usually a one-seater) and have full control of where you go and how fast you get there. Or, you can take a canoe with two seats. If you've ever been in a canoe you know that you have to work together. If you don't, you will end up going around in circles or zig-zagging across the water. It can be frustrating.
Canoes are known for tipping over when those in them don't know what they're doing. But when you are in a canoe with a person who works with you, you have someone to share the burden of paddling, someone to share the journey with.
The single life has its advantages. Like the person in the kayak, you have full control of where you go and what you do. You can give your full attention to God. But the married life also is a blessing. Yes, like taking two in a canoe, it will require work, cooperation, and communication. But you'll have a partner to share the journey with, to encourage one another, rejoice together, cry together, and to work together until you reach the destination.
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Ephesians 5:21).
Can you answer this riddle? The perfect man, the perfect woman, the tooth fairy and Santa Claus are all in a car accident. Who survives?
Answer: The perfect woman. The other three don't exist!
That doesn't stop women, the world over, from looking for him. But lost in the list of desirable characteristics posted on various women's websites and in magazines is the quality that makes all the difference. The Bible suggests that what a woman ought to be looking for is not whether her dream man has a feminine side or rock hard abs, but whether he loves just like Jesus.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25).
A new study published in the Journal of Molecular Psychiatry has reported:
Women are more likely to have a 'mind-reading' gene mutation that gives them the ability to read a person's thoughts and emotions by looking at their eyes ...
The scientists found that the genetic variants on chromosome 3 in women are associated with their ability to read the mind in the eyes — known as cognitive empathy ...
"This new study demonstrates that empathy is partly genetic, but we should not lose sight of other important social factors such as early upbringing and postnatal experience," said Professor Bourgeron.
This new study just might boost the sale of men's sunglasses!
I'm not sure whether I believe these new findings. I mean seriously, if women really could read their husbands minds, the result wouldn't be "cognitive empathy," it would be cognitive rage!
It's a good thing only God knows the actual thoughts that go through our minds. Wait, what? Maybe that isn't such a good thing. Not if we have anything we would prefer to hide!
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13).

What sorts of situations have > you found the "characters" or "words" options useful for? All the "find" options are pretty useful. Suppose I am searching for "good dog": find "good dog" -- finds any card which contains "good" and "dog" at the beginning of words, not necessarily together and not necessarily even in the same field. For example, will tag "goodly dogma" as a match but not "good underdog". Will tag "dog is good" as a match even though they are in a different order. Will tag a card if "dogma" is in one field and "good" is in another. This is hugely handy. For example, if I remember someone's first name and the city they live in, I can find them by seraching for "john san francisco" and even though the name and address are in different fields, the card will be found. find whole "good dog" -- finds only the whole phrase, and only where the phrase is made up of whole words. I.e., won't find "good dogma". Similar to the "offset" solution, except that it won't tag matches if they aren't comprised of exactly the words in the search phrase. find words "good dog" -- finds only whole words, but they can be in any order and not necessarily in the same field. Will tag a card as a match if one field contains "good eating" and another field contains "hot dog". Would not match if the second field contains "hot dogs" though, because "dogs" isn't the word we're looking for. find string "goo do" -- I don't use this much because it takes too long. But it can be handy if you need to look for a specific sequence of characters, including the spaces and punctuation in the sequence. This one would not match "good dog", but would match "mr. magoo does it". The string does not have to be at the beginning of a word. find chars "goo do" -- find each string of characters comprising each part of the search phrase. In other words, find any sequence of "goo" and any sequence of "do", not necessarily together and not necessarily at the beginning of words. Would tag "does magoo" as a match, even if the two words were in different fields. This variation is also time-consuming to run, but can be invaluable if you need to find partial strings that may be located in different fields anywhere on a card. > While offset is indeed slower than mark for finding all occurances in fields > across multiple cards, if the data were in a delimited list I'd be surprised > if whole-string matches were not faster using offset (that is, provided a > whole-string search is what you're after <g>). In my cgi, I want to find a variety of matches, not just whole strings. But on the other hand, "find" wouldn't work at all if the delimited list isn't in a field somewhere. If a stack has only a single list to search, then putting that list into a variable and running an offset script on it would surely be faster. But if you have many lists scattered across many cards, "find" and its variations is a viable solution, and allows for a great deal of exacting control over what gets tagged. Add to this the ability to set the dontsearch property of fields, cards, and groups, and you can really narrow down what gets searched and how fast it happens. If you don't want to search any of the fields in an entire background, just set its dontsearch to true and all the text in the background will be ignored. Handy. > I have a subjective feeling of vague "muckiness" when using fields for raw > data storage, with the object and style-run overhead.... I don't think the objects get in the way too much when the engine is running in non-GUI mode, but even in the IDE it works pretty well for what I'm doing. This particular stack is not very large though, only about 300 cards. There is no text styling anywhere, it's just a small database. The find/mark process in my tests was much faster than using offset to go through all the fields; a simple find/mark/process cards returns in 6 ticks. When I was using offset, the same search took 18-20 ticks and I was more limited in what I could search for, since I could only get whole string matches. This isn't to say that storing data in stacks is always a great idea. For larger data sets the engine breaks down and you need a real database. But for smaller data sets -- under 1000-2000 cards or so -- I have found stack-based storage to be easier to set up, easier to maintain, easier to script, quick to search and navigate, and supported by a large number of native commands in the language. I think it is an overlooked solution. I don't feel the need to put my little personal address book into an SQL database. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jacque at hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com

Austin Indie Bookshops are 'Artistic Havens for Individuals'
"Books emanate romanticism and possess the ability to create a stronger social community. Local bookstores are breeding grounds of positivity, thought and creativity. In Austin, we can frequent BookPeople, Austin Books or Monkeywrench Books . . . to get away from the everyday stresses of life, either to sit down with the latest Grisham novel or to chill with a cup of coffee and listen to a new beat. Bookstores are artistic havens for individuals to outsource their creative energy. Digital books just can't provide this same type of community outreach, and if more people continue to replace books with convenient digital versions, small community bookstores may suffer or eventually die off."--Amanda Patterson in the Daily Texan.

Paramount debuted some new footage from Terminator: Dark Fate at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. A continuation of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Dark Fate aims to partially reboot the sci-fi franchise by ignoring the last three films (Rise of the Machines, Salvation, and Genisys). And with Deadpool helmsman Tim Miller drawing from a screen story that James Cameron - who hasn't been involved with the series creatively since Judgement Day - cowrote, the hope is that Dark Fate will be the installment that finally gets the wobbly property back on track.
Written by David S. Goyer (Krypton), Billy Ray (Captain Phillips), and Justin Rhodes (Grassroots), Dark Fate picks up in the present-day, with Judgement Day having seemingly been averted... for now. Natalia Reyes (2091) stars in the film as Dani Ramos, a young woman who finds herself being targeted by an advanced model of Terminator (Gabriel Luna) that was sent back in time to kill her. Fortunately, Dani has a time-traveling cybernetic soldier (Mackenzie Davis) in her corner, along with an older Sarah Connor and the aged model for the T-800 (Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, reprising their iconic roles).
While Cameron was too busy to attend SDCC, he did stream in live from the Avatar sequels' set at the beginning of Dark Fate's Hall H presentation. The panel kicked off with the announcement that Edward Furlong is reprising his Judgement Day role as John Connor for the new Terminator movie, and was followed by the screening of a behind the scenes preview that highlighted the movie's action. Miller then took the stage (along with host Grae Drake) and explained that Dark Fate deals with Sarah's decision to destroy Cyberdyne in Terminator 2 (in turn, creating a different future). He also confirmed that Dark Fate will be rated R, explaining that the R rating is in "the DNA of Terminator".
Following a brief Q&A with Miller, Hamilton, Davis, and Schwarzenegger, the Dark Fate panel showed an extended trailer that included full scenes from the film. It started off with a longer look at the car chase glimpsed in the movie's first trailer, with Grace (Davis) and Dani being pursued by Luna's Terminator. After that came a scene where Sarah gives advise to Grace, explaining that she and her son, John, changed the future (saving three billion lives) and that Sarah's been hunting terminators every since. Grace asks why she wants to help them and Sarah says she was Dani and "It sucks".
The three then go to a cabin in the woods where they meet Schwarzenegger's T-800. Sarah tries to kill him, but Grace stops her. The robot then introduces himself as Carl (Sarah says she'll never call him that) and he agrees to help protect Dani and teaches her how to fire a gun. In a later shot, Sarah says that she plans to kill Carl once everything's over and he seems to understand. The footage also featured fresh shots from the post-apocalyptic future, Carl taking bullets for Sarah (something that makes her mad, but doesn't hurt him), Sarah and Dani in a humvee parachuting with Luna's Terminator attached, and Grace battling an army of Terminators with metal tentacles on their backs. Everything ultimately concludes with Luna's Terminator telling the heroes to just hand over Dani, but Sarah says they won't because they aren't machines. (She also calls him a "metal motherf***er".)
Paramount is expected to debut some (if not all) of this Terminator: Dark Fate footage online later today, so stay tuned for more SDCC goodness on the way!

Is your data hiding?
Experts estimate between 50% and 80% of company data is 'dark data'.
Over the last 10 years since McCrindle began, we've partnered with hundreds of companies across all types of industries. Working with decision makers wanting to make evidence-based decisions. We see many struggling every day with reading, understanding and managing the data they have at their fingertips.
The emergence of the technological age has seen our society create and collate data like never before. The rise of 'smart' technologies, such as phones, watches, televisions and more, has resulted in more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data being created every day. This represents 90% of all the data in history, created in just two years. For many organisations, however, much of this data is going unused.
Only 15% of data is being optimised
The average company stores 10 petabytes of data.1 That's 10 million gigabytes, or approximately 23.1 billion files.2 Out of all these files, however, only 15% are considered 'business-critical'. Meanwhile, between 50% and 80% of files fall into the category 'dark data'.3 The term 'dark data', which has been growing in popularity amongst data scientists and analysts worldwide, refers to data created by an organisation that is then forgotten.
The average company stores 14.3 billion unused dark files
Unfortunately, in the race for data optimisation, Australia ranks third to last. As the third biggest hoarder of dark data, more than two fifths of corporate data in Australia is classified as dark (62%).4 Our current rate of dark data collection is beaten only by Germany (66%) and Canada (64%).
Reducing dark data increases revenue
In order to step out of the dark data shadow, organisations need to optimise their data usage. Investigating dark data presents opportunities for organisations to not only reduce data waste, but reduce storage costs, improve processes and raise revenues.
Reducing the amount of unwanted dark data in an organisation can serve to reduce unnecessary storage costs. With 62% of data storage budgets being spent on dark data, reducing waste may present a significant cost saving.
Discovering unique data opportunities
At the same time, dark data represents an untapped data mine for many organisations. While for some organisations dark data may represent waste, it might also present exciting opportunities. New data sources can be opportunities for businesses to improve processes and enhance efficiency. Improved analytics can reveal business operations where time, money or resources may currently be wasted. This rich information may easily be going unused by your business, lost in the world of dark data.
For those willing to shine a light in the data darkness, there are exciting business opportunities to be discovered.

When you think of Gran Canaria, think of buoyant, sunshine-filled holidays bliss. Gran Canaria is one of Spain's most sought after holiday destinations, and it's easy to see why. Originally known as the 'land of the brave' by the Canarian people, tourists come from all over the world to explore this volcanic landscape and stunning beaches. Loosely translated as the 'Great Island of Dogs', life here is as relaxed as it is playful.
Situated just off of the coast of Northern Africa, the island reaches highs of 27 degrees in the summer and lows of a balmy 15 degrees in the winter. The cool sea breeze and relaxing sunshine simply never stops in this tropical paradise.
For the explorers among you, try hiking through the rustic paths of the Agaete Valley. For the adventurous out there, surfing the brisk waves of the shoreline will be the perfect pastime for you. If you want to cut loose, Gran Canaria is very well known for its exciting and lively nightlife. And finally, for those who want to just relax and unwind, Gran Canaria has some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean. Whether you want to join the carnival or take it easy in the shallows, welcome to Gran Canaria.
Playa del Inglés
This is one of Gran Canaria's most popular destinations. Playa del Inglés gives its visitors a bit of everything. This seaside resort has a shopping mall for all of your home comforts and is surrounded by vast sandy beaches. At night, there are plenty of bars, nightclubs and restaurants that serve food from all over the world. Put simply, this resort is a real all-in-one holiday.
Bahia Feliz
For a more laid back feel to the island, head down to Bahia Feliz. A fantastic destination for a quiet family holiday, many of the hotels offer swimming pools, spa and gym facilities. Not to mention, a range of kids activities to keep the little ones busy whilst you relax by the sea.
Taurito is the perfect place for sunshine, stunning views and a little bit of luxury. A much more popular destination for couples young and old, the atmosphere is quieter than Playa del Ingles or Puerto Rico. And if you fancy having some fun, the hotel is right next to Lago Taurito waterpark, a great place for water babies of all ages.
Exploring Gran Canaria…
Camelback riding in Gran Canaria
If you want to do something a bit out of the ordinary, try a 40-minute tour through the dunes of Maspalomas by camel! You can spend the whole day trekking through rugged landscapes on the back of these fine creatures. It's an unforgettable way to watch the rolling sands pass you by.
Roque Nublo
The Roque Nublo is a challenging hike that won't be for everyone, but the sky-high views are worth the effort for those keen to get the heart pumping. Known by the locals as the 'Pillar of Heaven', this volcanic rock is ideal for the budding explorers out there. At about 80 metres tall, it is one of the largest freestanding rocks in the world.
Puerto Rico Beach
Known by the locals as the sunniest spot on the island (which is quite an accomplishment), Puerto Rico's specially constructed resort plays hosts to the best beach in Gran Canaria. With golf courses, a nearby public pool and lush tropical gardens within walking distance, this spot is surrounded by activities for the whole family.
The Las Palmas Carnival
If you want to capture the true spirit of Spain, then the Las Palmas Carnival is for you. Nowhere else will you find perfect weather and a 6-kilometre parade that crosses through the beaches. Held every year in February, the Cabalgata (the main event) is viewed by over 200,000 people. As one of the largest festivals in Spain, the only thing the carnival asks you to do is 'live and let live'.
Gran Canaria's Cuisine
Gran Canaria offers a collection of tasty specialities. Typically using the freshest fish and meat, the classic paella here is a great way to enjoy original Spanish food. For a taste of the local cuisine, the island offers Carajacas (spiced liver cooked in a clay pot), Sancocho (a dry fish stew with sweet potatoes) or the famous Ropa Vieja (shredded chicken or beef with chickpeas, potatoes and fresh garlic). And to drink, the island serves up Tinto del Monte wine (Mountain Red) and the locally brewed beer Tropical.
Gran Canaria restaurants
With a busy capital city and plenty of varying resorts, Gran Canaria is never short of restaurants and eateries. As a holiday hotspot, the island serves food from all over the world. However, the local cuisine is focused on two things, taste and fulfilment. So, it might not look very fancy, but it's going to be one of the best meals you have ever had. For really authentic cuisine, try the Restaurante Grill Mirador Cuevas Bascamao. Located right next to Santa Maria de Guia's cheese producers, you will find some of the best cheese dishes in Spain here. If its tapas you want, try going down to Las Palmas in the old quarter of Vegueta. Every Thursday, the surrounding tapas bars and restaurants offer deals on food and drinks.
Gran Canaria is a great destination for every kind of person. Whether you're a young traveller, a full family, or a couple in need of a romantic getaway, the island has something for you. With over 150 beaches, jeep tours and city bike routes, you will be spoilt for choice.
Booking your holiday to Gran Canaria with easyJet holidays is the simplest way to get access to all of these services without the hassle. We have a range of flexible packages and holiday deals to choose from, and if you book your flights together easyJet holidays can save you even more.

Stacking office chairs are very convenient when you want to free up some space in your office. Some workplaces do not have enough space for many chairs at one point, so you may need to stack your chairs to accommodate other furniture or office supplies. It may also be quite difficult to organize and put things in order, so stacking your chairs may be the only possible option you have. If this is the case, then stacking office chairs is really the best option for you.
To resolve the annoying problem of squeaks, expose the office chair's moving parts and coat them with a special spray which reduces friction and provides lubrication to improve motion. You can also try tightening all the fixings up. This is another common problem of workplace chairs which brings upon more frustration to its user. When there is something wrong with the way your office chair reclines, it removes your attention from the work you should be doing and you tend to focus on how to sit more comfortably on such a chair.
They are also intended to minimize the strain on the nerves, muscles and joints of the body, a condition which is commonly suffered by office workers all over the world. Ergonomic chairs relax the muscles and therefore prevent back pain. It is also made of high quality upholstery and has adjustable armrests, head rests and back rests.

Children Learn About Summer On The Fly -Brevard NC
August 13, 2018
While the summer camp season is coming to end, the memories created for most campers will last a lifetime, and for one local camp owner those memories he hopes will instill a sense of wonder, in particular, about fly fishing.
Green River Preserve owner Sandy Schenck has been teaching fishing at his 3,000-acre camp, located on Reasonover Road at the headwaters of the Green River, for nearly 30 years. His delight in watching a child learn the basics like casting, knot tying and learning to roll cast is childlike in itself.
One of his many projects is the Summer on the Fly program, which...

This year marks a couple '7's for me; 7th year teaching at one of my favorite dance studios- with a big energetic change, 7th wedding anniversary- with an apparent elevation of communication and partnering and many other I'm not consciously aware of, I'm sure. I will say the shift is uncanny. I've known for awhile that your body regenerates itself every seven years, one of the reasons why allergies can change as your body assimilates. But aside from the natural course of 7 there is also an opportunity to consciously ride the wave of transformation. I've seen many work to find a place of stability and containment. Only to see life is ever evolving and our inability or ability to shift with it either allows us to enjoy life cycles or feel beaten down by them. And usually a dance between both. Still this undeniable magic inspired me to look deeper into this "lucky" number we've heard so much about...
The origin of seven's power lies in the lunar cycle. The moon has four phases lasting about seven days. The Sumerians gave the week seven days. Life cycles on earth also have phases demarcated by seven, and there are seven years to each stage of human growth, seven colors to the rainbow, seven notes in the musical scale, seven seas, seven continents, seven petitions in the Lord's Prayer, seven bodily chakras and seven deadly sins. (Whaaaa?!)
SO, what do we do with all this information?
Start paying close attention to your sevens, there might be a new 1st around the corner ;)

The China News Service said police from Enshi city's Shengjiaba township had raided the Wilderness Narrow Door, an underground religious group, last month and arrested those whom they believed to be their key members.
Police and township authorities have staged several crackdowns against the group over the past few years. The arrested group leaders were reportedly mostly farmers from Shengjiaba township.
They were accused of having secretly set up three meeting points, as well as 12 churches, in various townships in Hubei and Sichuan provinces. They also were said to have recruited more than 1,000 members since February 1999.
The report quoted local media as saying that these members had engaged in illegal activities including "recklessly praying", fasting, collecting charitable funds and distributing promotional materials.
The group - which enjoys great popularity in the countryside in Hubei - has been branded as an evil cult by the authorities, in addition to other underground religious groups including Blood and Water Holy Spirit, the Spirit Church, the Disciples Association, the Oriental Lightning, the Born Again Movement and the Crying School.
Four months earlier, Hubei police raided another meeting place of the group in the house of a farmer in Xuanen county, Hubei, after a tip-off and arrested nine members engaged in a discussion, according to a separate report.
The police claimed that the group told its followers not to see a doctor when they were sick. Instead, they were told they should pray before meals in order to be healed.
It also accused the group of causing the farmers to abandon their fields and instead to start travelling around the countryside preaching, which they claimed had an adverse effect on social order.
Earlier this month, a US-based religious watchdog released classified documents as evidence that 14 underground religious groups had been branded evil cults in addition to the spiritual sect Falun Gong.

New Equipment to Maintain Roadside Grass Could Provide Savings and Safety
Wednesday, March 2, 2011 - 18:30 in Physics & Chemistry
Maintaining a yard of grass can require repeated mowing and application of herbicides. When your "yard" is miles and miles of roadsides throughout a state, that effort and expense become a big factor. More efficient equipment to apply herbicides and reduce the need for mowing roadside grasses could cut costs for state transportation departments.

For the Old Mole 3/18/19
Jan: What is Democracy? directed by philosopher filmmaker and activist Astra Taylor answers the question in the film's title through an expository style, an approach to documentary that uses interviews and images to build an argument. The argument advanced in the film is that most Western countries are being run by a really bad form of democracy. Taylor travels the world meeting thinkers, activists, and philosophers who are troubled by the way democracy operates in their societies. She returns periodically to two main pillars of the film: group discussions at the original sites of democracy in Athens and a large Italian mural depicting how democracy works, explained to us by Marxist scholar Silvia Federici. The mural then becomes a touchstone of the film in foregrounding financial oligarchs dominating the ideology and practices of governance in much of the modern world. Many of us learned in school that we owe a lot to the Greeks in medicine, law, moral philosophy, and governance, and clearly Astra Taylor thinks we have something to learn from the Greeks. What do you think we owe to the Greeks? And what do you think she's saying here in reaching back to this classical era.
Frann: I think we see a lot of things come out from that touchstone of the Greeks. Clearly Plato's idea of the king, the philosopher-king is not something that we necessarily want to embrace. But there are a number of things that do come out; one is just the idea that government should be about making a good life and ensuring the well-being of a polis, of a people, of a society, and then the question becomes who counts as part of that Society who's in who's out and that gets addressed in various ways in the film. But there are a number of other things that come up. One is this idea of moving people into different areas of the city so that the groupings would not be just based on friendship, but on proximity and the possibility of engaging with people who are not like you—that democracy requires a broader conception than just you or your friends and your personal relations-- that it has to in some sense be about general well-being, not just your own interest.
Jan: And that's still a very radical idea that is far from realized in the world, that we have obligations to others beyond our friends or family in-group-- to represent people we don't know— that we all share some common interest, the idea of universal rights. It seemed to me the the idea was not not to pull out the best model of governance from the Greeks but to demonstrate that flowering of ideas around democracy: this idea that it's always contested, that there's a debate and that there are competing models and that this is more than deciding on a model. There is a discussion that's kind of new for this country about What is socialism? What is democratic socialism? Can we have any meaningful democracy under capitalism and more than the answer It's that there is a discussion, debate around it.
Frann: I'm not sure that that's entirely new for America. There's been a strong socialist tradition in America; back before the Cold War there were lots of American socialists, but that is a tradition that we've forgotten. It's not something that the film addresses, but it does address various forms of democracy that extend beyond the notion of representative government which is the more limited picture that that we often get in school lessons and so on. There are some some great moments where she interviews school children talking whether their school is run democratically: Do you have a say? and the notion of extending democracy beyond going and voting every four years or every two years or whatever. Having a say in your workplace, having a say in your school, having a say in your daily life, having a say in your personal life— the idea that democracy is something that needs to extend throughout life, that all of life is political in that sense, is something that comes out in some of those conversations that I think is valuable.
Jan: I think the claim that of course is so much associated with feminism, that the political is personal, that extends into how families are organized and run, how communities are organized. The question was posed but overall it seems that the film was more invested in exposing the hypocrisies in the false promises of democracy under capitalism and how it's a cover for a small group of elites excluding others and running things. And I think there is a long history to of of democratic experiments and fights over claims made on the state and on forms of governance, claims made in the name of democracy for having more democratic child-rearing practices, that you cannot dominate people or exploit people in the context of personal life, work, play, struggle. So I felt this was a limitation of the film, in not acknowledging some of the history of fights that have been won, gains that have made the society better.
Frann: Maybe it was in the interviews with Cornel West or in some of the statements --There's a speech by Angela Davis in the film that we see clips from-- there's discussion of this notion that democracy has never in the United States or, or anywhere, has never been democracy for everybody, but that the United States is founded on indigenous genocide, that it is founded on slavery. It begins with all of this talk of Liberty and freedom that does not include everybody—it doesn't include women. It doesn't include enslaved people. It doesn't initially include people who don't own property. There are a lot of limitations there and I think the film does stress the way is that economic inequality really runs counter to the possibility of political democracy--rule by the people-- of people's empowerment.
Jan: But yet early on in the film Cornel West poses this problem that I think is kind of set aside, that majority rule, forms of democracy from below, always have the potential for tyranny, and he even says for fascism, that there have been fascist regimes that have been elected democratically. And we see a lot of mass street protests and demonstrations, but how all of the uprisings from below translate into a democratically-run society is...I think the film is facil on that front, how you get from here to there.
Frann: Cornel West mentions that for instance Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which was a democratizing move was not a democratic move, right? It was in a presidential Proclamation. The Supreme Court's Brown versus Board of Education decision was not Democratic. It was made by the Supreme Court, which is this tiny body of people who are there for life. And so those are not Democratic decisions, but they broaden the possibilities for democracy. He doesn't talk about at least I don't recall him talking in this film about the fact that both of those are responses in part at least to mass movements. There was a huge Abolitionist Movement prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. There was a huge Civil Rights Movement prior to the Brown versus Board of Education decision. So those are things that are coming in response to mass democratic movement.
Jan: And I think victories need to be acknowledged and celebrated as well as critiqued.
Frann: Silvia Federici talks about the idea that the feminist movement has really made a really important theoretical accomplishment in stressing that the personal is political and that the domestic sphere is not outside of the political sphere. So, I mean, I think there's sort of an acknowledgments of that.
Jan: Perhaps it's Wendy Brown who brings in this idea too that we have to think about democracy as not only the freedom to be left alone, which is kind of an American hyper individualistic driven notion of a democracy— being able to do what you want unbothered by the government –versus the Democracy as being in relation to others, as understanding our common interest, depends on the welfare of others, and that was introduced but not very developed in the film, that distinction.
Frann: I think when she talks to the refugees and the people around the the refugee camp in Piraeus in Greece about the idea of what they want, freedom or democracy? What do they want? What does it mean to them? And it includes safety or it starts with safety and Justice that mean people who are fleeing from violence and from unlivable situations are not in a position to debate the fine points of government structures. They want a safe place to live. They don't be shot in their beds. They don't want to be raped as they're crossing the border. They want to be able to have stable lives.
Jan: I think that the passage with refugees seemed limited to me as it was framed; it's not just about freely freedom to migrate but freedom to stay and freedom to live in and the fact that you happen to be born in a country why that gives people here anymore rights anywhere else should be questioned. So it felt like a film kind of touched on some of these bigger problems and maybe a burden of any project of the scope of a film like this.
Frann: if you're going from ancient Greece to the present day, you're covering a lot of territory.
Jan: Maybe the important point is challenging notions of democracy and how you can have different forms of it. But for example in Cuba since the revolution there has been impressive local democratic practices, but also very authoritarian government. And so you have these mixed experiments and I think some of that that localism local co-ops and that sort of thing are highlighted in the film without looking at some of the problems in coordinating them within the system of the state.
Frann: One of the places that she interviews some people-- and I'm not sure how clear it is in the film, but the trauma doctors she talks to in Greece are working at an autonomous Clinic that during the Greek debt crisis and the whole betrayal of Syriza in not following through on the referendum in Greece, the economic situation there was terrible and so there were a lot of autonomous clinics set up to pick up the slack that was dropped by the government which was stretched by the EU and the German bankers and those are great but they're also things that really put pressure on for instance the doctors who are working pro bono in those clinics on top of their other jobs if they still have other jobs. They were alternatives to the state that worked very well in that context, but do not mean that people don't have the right to make claims on the state and we should be able to make claims on the state.
Jan: And maybe there's a similar dilemma around the Occupy Movement. And this also was incredible experiment in local democracy and taking over public spaces and providing Healthcare care for people but how you sustain these experiments and democracy over time is another matter.
Frann: One of the closing moments is Silvia Federici saying, you know democracy is worth fighting for but you always have to be very careful about what you mean by democracy because it's a term that gets appropriated in lots of ways for lots of ends that we would not necessarily call Democratic—but it's always worth fighting for democracy from below, not from above.
Jan: And I think this basic idea that I still think is worthy of acknowledging, with origins in Greek philosophy, that we we have an obligation to understand and represent and share in the interest of people beyond our kinship group, beyond people we know and it's still a very big problem in the world.
Frann: There's a group of activists in Miami talking about their experience. A lot of them are immigrants or children of immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America andone of them talks about the ways that people don't necessarily realize that understanding the experiences of people in different groups is important and that what we all need to do is, you know, that the African-American needs to understand the Cuban-American situation and the Nicaraguan needs to understand the Costa Rican and so on; that people need to draw on the different kinds of experiences and situations and histories that come from different places in order to build something better, in order to keep working for something better.
Jan: And that it's a more satisfying and fulfilling and larger life that also require something of us. Maybe education in the sense and then the form a limited sense, but maybe a broader notion of learning how to be together across differences and how to understand different points of view. That's part of what's known as a democratic multi-tenancy organization that no one group has the line on things.
Frann: There's one point where Astra Taylor asks, You know to what extent, it seems like democracy requires education. It requires intellectual engagement, that it's really demanding something of people; and then we moved from there. I think that's where we move to talking with some of the students in the US, and she askes them about whether their school is democratic and of course, it's not at all; their needs are not being met; they don't have a say in what's going on; and that when they learn about democracy in class, It's just about government and checks and balances or something like that, Right? that it's not it's not understood in a living way as something that occupies all of people's lives, but that it should be understood as something that is part of everyday life, that we need to claim a notion of democracy in the workplace, in the schoolplace and not just going in and voting or whatever.
Jan: So all of the teachers strikes and the teachers fighting for a schools as places of Refuge places where those without papers can get an education where their kids can see a nurse get Healthcare if they need to--
Frann: or food
Jan: or food... I find hope in teachers being so much in the lead now. And so it's not just access to college or access to higher education. But this more radical notion of schools as public places and places for experiments in democracy.
Jan: So the film is What is Democracy?, a question that remains a question for you to discuss among yourselves. It's playing two nights this week at the Portland International Film Festival.
Frann: Wednesday and Thursday, March 20th and 21st. And the director Astra Taylor will be there both nights for Q&A. So you can ask her about some of these things and engage in debate.
Jan: This has been Jan Haaken and Frann Michel talking today about the documentary film, What is Democracy?

The Past
1. The Past is Your Lesson
Growing Up-Childhood
Summer 1986, my mom was giving six months to live. On December 13, 1986, at the age 33 my mother was taken to the Lord. My mother's last words to my father, "take care of the kids." My father had a new responsibility. To be a mom/dad to three children under the age of 13.
Some time in 1988, my father remarried because he thought we needed a mother figure. During this time period, my brother and I would get beat up. We had to bring home every subject to be reviewed. If our homework wasn't done correctly, we would get bet up by "stepmom."
Growing Up-Adolescent
My father files for divorce. We than relocate with dads new girlfriend and her three kids. At that time it was what your called the Brady Bunch. House of six kids, and two adults. From the age 9-18 was a blur. All I remember is disagreements between my dad and his girlfriend. Mostly about the kids.
"Don't waste time bathing in the negative experience. Spin your energy and focus your attention on moving on."Les Brown
Growing up-Adult
After graduating from High School, I wanted to get away. I moved in with my boyfriend and suffered verbal and physical abuse. I remember one time going grocery shopping; and coming home putting the sugar away. He didn't like the spot I put the sugar. He threw me over his shoulder, pinning me down, and started choking me.
Being constant belittled that I will never make it on my own, I started to believe the lies. I had so much hate for him build up. When my friends wanted to do something, I had to ask permission if it was okay, to go. I had enough of this and left him. It didn't end though, because he would stalk me.
The saying of meeting someone when you least expected it is true. I wasn't expecting to find someone and fall in love after going through misary for five years. However, I did. We will be married 15 years in April of 2019. Through our marriage we faced many ups a downs.
The ups having our three children. The lows, suffering postpartum depression, finding out our son has autism. Helping our daughter with depression and self-harm. Using our past experience, we are able to reflect on the hard life lessons, and use them to help others.
2. The Present
The Present is Your Gift
Raising our Family
When I reflect on my pass, I couldn't move on until I forgave the pass. Parenting is hard, and I couldn't imaging losing my husband to cancer, and having to raise three kids.
"If you want to begin to alter your circumstance and alter your life, it's very important that you begin to change your attitude about yourself."Les Brown
Each day, I am thankful for my blessings and gifts from God. The days are long, but the years are short. I am thankful for each day, we are able to be alive, the house we live in, the food we eat, clean water we drink, and so much more. What are you thankful for?
Gift #1
My oldest daughter who I nickname Care Bear. She has such a nurturing heart and tender spirit. Since birth she was always a fighter, because she almost died. I love hearing about her goals, listening to her play her musical instruments, watching her designing clothing.
I am thankful that she is alive each day. She has been struggling with depression and is in a safe place getting help. It's gotten so bad, that she started to believe the lies people told her. As a result, she wanted to die.
I couldn't image my life without her. My heart breaks thinking of all the families who lost a love one to suicide. Cherish each day, for tomorrow isn't promise.
Gift #2
My son who we nickname ducky. He is nonverbal with autism. Finding out my son had autism was so depressing at first. When he was 18 months old, he started to lose all his words, until one day they where all gone.
Can you image? One day being able to speak, the next day no words. It use to be that I was the quiet one. I never spoke up for what I believed. However, when my son lost his words, I found mine.
Ducky is such an inspiration to many. My father always called him his little man, and found strength in seeing the mountains he had to climb. My son may be different, but he is no less. He is so smart, has a sensitive spirit, and taught me patience.
Gift #3
Gift number three we nickname Kix. Yes a unique name, but let me explain. When she was a baby, she would kick her legs like crazy. So the name stuck with her as Kix.
When I was pregnant, I didn't know at the time it was twins. At 12 weeks into the pregnancy, I knew something was wrong. I went to the hospital and had no idea what was going on.
Fast forward, and I am blessed with a sensitive, lovable, fun, witty, girl. God, could of taken her, but he didn't. She is a survivor, just like her older sister.
What I love most about her is she isn't jealous of others. She encourages others to do there best. She won't bring you down, but lift you up instead. God has surely blessed me with three unique gifts to impact this world. I am so thankful for my blessings.
3. The Future
"Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them an unstoppable manner."Les Brown
Never stop dreaming, because your dreams are your future. It's when you stop acting upon your dreams, that causes failure.
Sunday, set your intentions for the week. This way your week has a purpose and direction. When you write down your goals, and can start to visualize them, you become unstoppable.
Life is a gift, enjoy the journey, count your blessings each and everyday. The only person who is holding you back is you. Stop blaming others for your unhappiness, and take control of your dreams and start believing in you.
