Lessons learned through installation of solar pv systems in typical Indian hot climatic zone
Solar PV systems have been employed in European countries traditionally. The technology has been quite successful has the PV modules and BOS has to work in cold and dust free climate. However recent installations in India ,which has reached close to 1300 MW , has demonstrated that in case of solar PV technology is used in typical Indian hot and humid conditions. It behaves differently as compared to how the same technology will behave in a typical cold climate of European countries
The performance of a solar PV system is governed predominately by three factors, which are temperature ,humidity and dust. On one side temperature and humidity has played a larger role in terms of performance of PV module from other side the dust level impacts the performance of BOS in the plant. When PV modules are subjected to temperature and humidity ,specially the projects implemented in the areas such as Gujrath .It was found that some of the projects have suffered a faster degradation in output ,this was because of Potential Induced Degradation (PID). Which leads to non reversible degradation of modules ,the problem of PID arises when modules are subjected negative voltage and due to high temperature and humidity .The solar cells are subjected to electrochemical reactions that leads to electro corrosion or film de-lamination in the module. This type of problem is observed specially in case of thin film technologies ,it is not that PID is observed in only thin film technology ,recently in some of the crystalline silicon technology as identified PID due to surface polarization that creates non destructive and reversible accumulation of static charge on the surface of the cells.
The PID can cause 15 -20 % of degradation in the first year itself .There is need to take care of this problem,some of the manufactures recommend negative grounding of modules in order to avoid PID.
Another major problem which solar PV projects face is the dusty weather and equipment performance in extreme climatic conditions, demands more sophisticated BOS specially in extreme climate. Which are capable to with stand these extreme weather conditions and reliably perform for 20 years .
Sand and dust storm can cause penetration of dust in the inverter and other sensitive electronic equipment and cause problem in the functioning of the inverter. In operating solar PV system specially BOS, in a extreme weather condition require the equipment design in accordance to dust proof containers.
As shown here by the reductions in shunt resistance (Rsh), maximum power point (MPP) and open circuit voltage, PID can significantly reduce yield in PV plants.[Source: Schuetze, et al, Laboratory Study of Potential Induced Degradation of Silicon Photovoltaic Modules]
The operating temperature of inverter during summer months typically reaches to about 80°C and becomes important that the inverter voltage range is with in the array voltage range. Increased temperature of modules reduces voltage and sometime if the voltage is less than the input window voltage of the inverter it becomes the major cause of inverter tripping.
The Polarization Effect on c-Si modules can be fully mitigated by reversing the potential voltage applied. [Source: S. Pingel, et al, Potential Induced Degradation of Solar Cells and Panels]
Inverter with IP65(International Protection Rating) standards are available in the market which are capable to operate in dusty and open environment.In this article we have tried to cover the plant performance in Indian weather conditions. However there had been significant problems beyond the plant , when it was connected to grid and tripping of solar plant was regular feature at various substations due to over loading and under loading .

Much like the last two days, I wake up hungry and thirsty. I can't do much about it, since I purposely go light on food, and all I can do about the water is drink up when I get to sources.
It's another nice day. The trail this morning is a friendly, leisurely stroll downhill. I'm traipsing along, lost in my own world when I hear a cough. I yelp and look to my right. A tall, skinny young man is among the boulders, packing up his gear. "Are you Amy Bee?" he asks. "Yes. Are you Alex?" I reply. We smile. This is the guy Texas told me about. He asks me how I like things so far. "I vacillate between loving it and hating it," I admit. He nods but I can tell he doesn't relate. "Obviously, you totally love it and wouldn't change a thing," I smile, and he laughs. "Well, I set up my whole life to do this thing, so, yeah. I'm happy." We exchange more pleasantries before I head off to find the water that is ahead. Eyeing Alex as I leave, I predict he will catch up and pass me in no time. His pack is small, his legs are long, and he looks to be about 25. Top of the world, he is.
Alex does indeed catch me a few miles later, at the water source. We look at the steep trail down. "There's more water in a couple of miles," I suggest, "Maybe I'll just chance it."
Alex slows his pace, and I let him lead us up and around, up and around the mountains. He is a talkative guy, and he tells me he is ADD. "You think I talk a lot now?" he says. "You should see me when I'm not on pot. Then I never shut up!" Alex is remarkably well off at 25. He has already accumulated a lot of money and sold a house, to which he claims has earned him "a lot of haters" within his circle of acquaintances. He's humble-bragging, but he's friendly and interesting, so I settle into the role of listener as we make great time climbing over rocks strewn across our path. Deep Creek sinews between giant boulders in the canyon below us; beautiful blues and greens- and full of great fishing spots, according to Alex.
We are immersed in a conversation about his parent's divorce when Alex jumps back into me. We both see the rattlesnake in the same moment. "Fuck!" he shouts. "Oh shit!" I exclaim at the same time. "I gotta film this," Alex says, pulling out his GoPro. He has an attachment for his trekking pole, so he sets it up and pans the GoPro along the length of the snake, which is maybe about 2.5 feet long. It makes the most amazing rattle sound, unlike the rattlesnakes I have come across in Northern California. It slithers away, shaking its rattle long after we can see it.
We make it to the next water source and take a break to get water and Alex enjoys a joint and then a rolled cigarette. We talk about getting to Deep Creek Hot Springs, still about 5 miles away. Alex hasn't decided whether he's gonna stay there. I'm not sure, either. Technically no camping is allowed around here, and after the springs, the no camping rule continues for miles and miles. Staying at the springs puts me at 15 miles, but what about the no camping rule? I think that this might be my 20-mile day.
I head out before Alex and continue the hot, sometimes steep climb high above the creek. The heat is getting to me, and I'm going through my water way faster than I usually do. I also feel incredibly hungry, and when I make it to another seasonal creek, I stop again to collect water and eat some mixed nuts. Alex passes me, and we have a brief conversation about using drugs as recreation. The consensus is that we are both for it. Honestly, though, I haven't done drugs for fun in a very long time. For the most part. 🙂 Then he continues along, while I have to stay longer to dry out and rest my feet.
About a mile from the hot springs I spot a man heading toward me. Minus a day-pack and Vibram shoes, he is naked. And very tan. And shaven. Everywhere. He is also well endowed, and it takes all my concentration to maintain 100% eye contact. He's looking for other hot springs. I quiz him on the ones I'm heading to, and he tells me that there's a lot of people camping there and that it's a good group today, "unlike the group last night." I don't ask him to elaborate. "I love it here," he says, "It's just nice. A nice way to be." A nice way to relax and let it all hang out, I almost agree. I say good-bye to the naked man and plod along, wondering how Alex reacted to the naked hiker man.
By the time I get to the springs, I'm exhausted. I am thirsty. I want to get water here, but the water is listed in the report as contaminated. It's a clothing optional hot springs, but most people are dressed. I don't see Alex anywhere. Should I continue? Can I do it? I decide that if I see Alex, and he has found a spot, I will ask to join him. Otherwise, I will continue on and hope I find a camp spot in another five miles.
I don't find Alex, but I do find a man sitting on a rock. It's a steep climb at first out of the canyon, and I am huffing and puffing, taking small breaks to urge myself on. The man starts talking to me before I can hear him. He is disheveled; he has nothing on him except the crusty clothes on his back, a ragged towel around his neck, and a guitar slung over his shoulder. He is baby boomer age, and with his shaggy blonde hair, looks like a dude in a classic rock band. A half liter of water sits at his side. "I ditched all my stuff," he calls down to me, "Except my guitar. There's no way I'd leave my guitar here." I learn this man's name later, but I will call him Zig, both for privacy and for fun. Zig is confused and confusing. He says he is lost, has been lost for days. "I don't know how to get out of here," he moans. "have no food, no water," I suggest he head back to the springs, where people can help him. But Zig doesn't want to go backward. Where have you been sleeping, I ask. Under rocks, he says. Does this trail get me out of here, he wonders? Yes, I confirm.
I'm sooooo confused. How is this dude lost? Why did he ditch his stuff? I offer help, but he says no. So I continue on. I worry about him as I hike, a distraction from my burning feet and burgeoning headache. Should I have offered to use my InReach? Even though I feel concerned, I begin to feel even more worried that if I do find a campsite, this guy will catch up to me, and he makes me a little nervous. So, much to my body's protestations, I quicken my pace.
The trail out of the Deep Creek Canyon is never-ending. It winds and climbs and winds and climbs forever. I need to stop so bad. But I don't. I can't. What would I do otherwise? Sleep under a rock with Zig? NO, I have to push on, push forward, step by painful step.
I make it to the Mojave Dam and see what could be makeshift camp spots down below. I can't believe I just hiked 20 miles. My excitement is brief, because I've become dizzy and nauseous, and I stumble down the hill to sandy jeep roads that cut through a large copse of trees. I'm so spent. It takes me an embarrassing amount of time setting up my tent. It's all sand, and there are no rocks to anchor my stakes. I finally give up and let half of the tent sag on me. I'm too tired to eat, so I skip dinner. I have a pounding headache. I sleep for about 3 hours before I can't sleep anymore. I'm sweating, and I drink almost all of my water, minus a half of a liter. I am sweating so bad that I take off all my clothes. I finally sleep in fits; restless dreams about water and spoonfuls of food.

Hello friend! I'm Abbey, the lady behind Wayfarer. I've got a big heart for meaningful design and love telling visual stories.
Growing up in West Virginia, I always knew that I wanted to be a designer. At 13, I became obsessed with updating the design of my Myspace page – by obsessed I mean at least 3 times a week. I was amazed at how simply changing the font or adding more white space to my page could somehow give others a more genuine sense of who I was as a person. It felt like magic.
Fast forward about 10 years, I found myself about to graduate from college with my design degree and no real plan for what to do after school. I had this weird feeling that things were going to unfold naturally, so I wasn't too worried about looking for jobs. Running a business was the absolute last thing on my mind, but the universe led me to it anyway in the most unexpected and beautiful way.
Just over 1 month before my college graduation, my then-boyfriend received an offer to go play professional basketball overseas. Next thing I knew, he was proposing and asking me to come travel the world with him for the next few years. Of course, I said yes.
We planned our wedding in a month, got married and moved to Australia a week later. I know, that sounds crazy and stressful, but honestly, it all felt so right and effortless. We knew that we were at the beginning of something we were always meant to do.
So my intuition to not worry about searching for a job ended up being right. We were going to be living in different countries only a few months at a time, so I knew that a regular job just wouldn't work. Although I was terrified of the idea of starting my own studio straight out of college, I knew that I was in the perfect position to do it. And so in June of 2016, Wayfarer was born! We have no idea where we'll be next year or the year after that and I have no idea how Wayfarer will grow, but there's freedom in not knowing and just flowing through it. It's been a beautiful, scary, challenging, eye-opening adventure so far and I'm just so grateful that I was brave enough to say yes.

The books on this website are all self-published. Many of the Childrens Books are of educational value as they relate to Aboriginal Culture and Heritage. A lifetime of involvement with the Aboriginal community and knowledge imparted to me by Elders and tribal people has allowed me to convey the key concepts within Aboriginal religion and social structure.
I worked at the coal face of Child Protection in the turbulent 1990's and the section on Author will detail my qualifications, extensive knowledge and practice expertise in the subject.
Some of my books are Out of Print (oop) but I have included them on the site because I intend to publish the books in an ebook format in the near future.

Elder Abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual and financial – and perpetrators are often the people closest to us. Now growing international awareness is prompting policy makers to examine how we can better protect vulnerable older people.
Each year, 15 June marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, intended to raise awareness of elder abuse internationally and highlight ways to challenge it. So how do Australian laws respond to elder abuse, and how can they better protect older Australians? This is a question currently being looked at by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), an an independent Commonwealth agency that, at the request of the Attorney-General, reviews Commonwealth laws and provides recommendations about how to improve Australia's laws and make sure that they remain effective and appropriate in a changing world.
A 2011 study by the University of Western Australia and Advocare calculated that around 4.6 percent of older Australians are subjected to some form of elder abuse. As the population ages, the rate of abuse of older people is expected to increase significantly. This could mean a very large number of people being exposed to some form of elder abuse. As such, it is fast becoming a serious social problem.
The World Health Organisation describes elder abuse as 'a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person'. Elder abuse can be physical, sexual or psychological, however the most common form of abuse appears to be financial abuse.
Older people may be abused by any number of people – service providers, carers, friends or strangers. A 2016 report by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) suggests that most abuse is actually perpetrated by family members, for example, where adult children take advantage of elderly parents to access their money, house or savings, for their own use and benefit.
Older women are the most common victims of financial abuse, usually by a male child, and are also the most susceptible to family violence.
Older people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse, Indigenous and LGBTQI communities, older people with disability, and those living in regional and remote areas, may be more vulnerable to abuse.
Elder abuse can be hard to identify and even harder to respond to. Shame, fear, social isolation, cognitive impairment, physical and emotional dependency are all factors that might hold elderly people back from reporting abuse. Elderly people are often particularly reluctant to report abuse when it occurs within the family, because it often means reporting a family member to the police – the key agency to respond to an accusation of elder abuse.
Older people have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, to make their own decisions and choices, to live in a safe environment and to access the protections available to other adults in the community. The ALRC's task is to focus on Commonwealth laws and consider how these can better protect older people. In particular, we will be looking at laws in the areas of financial institutions, superannuation, social security, aged care and health.
In doing this, it is important that we balance the rights of older people to their own autonomy with the community's duty to protect the vulnerable.
Throughout the Elder Abuse Inquiry, we are consulting around Australia with organisations and individuals who work in these areas. The ALRC will release a consultation paper in June to coincide with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
This Issues Paper will set out in more detail the issues we are looking at and will call for submissions to seek more information from the public. We urge people and organisations with experience in this area to make submissions. This is an important early stage in our work towards proposing how laws could be changed to better protect older people from abuse.
You can find out more about the ALRC Elder Abuse Inquiry, subscribe to enews, and access the Issues Paper here.
The ALRC has until May 2017 to prepare its final report. At the 2016 National Elder Abuse Conference, Attorney-General Senator Brandis noted: 'Our social, economic and legal frameworks must support older Australians so as to enable them fully to enjoy their freedoms and exercise their free and informed choices.'
The ALRC's work is a step towards realising this goal.

Life of Pi By: Yann Martel A presentation by Elena Nowak Chapter 37 "Richard Parker, is that you? It's so hard to see. Oh, that this rain would stop! Richard Parker? Richard Parker? Yes, it is you!" Chapter 37 is started with the simple sentence: "The ship sank." We know that Pi is in a lifeboat and we know that there was some sort of explosion. When and how Pi came to be in the lifeboat is still a mystery. As the chapter continues on, the mystery builds. "The ship sank. It made a sound like a monstrous metallic burp. Things bubbled at the surface and then vanished. Everything was screaming: the sea, the wind, my heart. From the lifeboat I saw something in the water. " Although Richard Parker has been mentioned very vaguely through the first chapters of the book, we can't help but wonder who Richard Parker really is and why Pi is so intensely trying to save him, before seriously regretting it. read chapter 37 here: http://www.freevampirebooks.org/book3/Life_of_Pi/18484.html Meet Richard Parker Richard Parker is a 3 year old Bengal Tiger whom Pi has just rescued As well as suspense, this chapter is full of imagery.
For example: In the first paragraph alone, you can visualize almost everything that is happening. The ship sank. It made a sound like a monstrous metallic burp. Things bubbled at the surface and then vanished. Everything was screaming: the sea, the wind, my heart. From the lifeboat I saw something in the water. From this paragraph, you can almost picture a panic-stricken Pi in a lifeboat being slung around by the screaming ocean while his ship sinks to the bottom. But what does he see in the water? The odd pair of Bengal Tiger, Richard Parker, and boy, Pi Patel, survive at sea for 277 days. While the relationship wasn't perfect, they stuck together until the end.

MANCHESTER, N.H.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire (Anthem) is offering its three Medicare Advantage plans for 2018 to Medicare-eligible New Hampshirites. This offering complements a robust portfolio of health plans Anthem offers in the state. All of these plans are available for enrollment in this year's Medicare annual election period (AEP).
"Once again, we are privileged to offer consumers a variety of Medicare Advantage products, because we believe it's important for consumers to have options as they look for the plan that fits their health care needs in 2018"
The opportunity to enroll in a Medicare plan begins October 15 and continues through December 7. This is the one time each year when most people can pick or switch Medicare Advantage plans.
"Once again, we are privileged to offer consumers a variety of Medicare Advantage products, because we believe it's important for consumers to have options as they look for the plan that fits their health care needs in 2018," said Tomas Orozco, Medicare president of Anthem's east region. "We put our experience to work to give members high-quality, affordable health care, allowing them to live the life they've earned."
For 2018 insurance plans, individuals eligible for Medicare – people 65 years and older and those with certain disabilities – are able to enroll in Anthem MediBlue Plus (HMO) or Anthem MediBlue Access (PPO). New Hampshirites who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid – also known as dual-eligible – have the option of enrolling in Anthem's dual-eligible plan – Anthem MediBlue Coordination Plus (HMO).
All of the plans include LiveHealth Online and SilverSneakers, offered at $0 copay. LiveHealth Online is an innovative way to connect with board-certified doctors through two-way live video using a smart phone, tablet, or computer with a webcam. Doctors are available 24/7 with less than a ten minute wait.
"Anthem is one of the nation's only insurers that can offer a full continuum of Medicare products, including something for every budget and lifestyle," added Orozco.
In addition to Medicare Advantage plans, Anthem offers standalone prescription drug plans (known as Part D plans) in all New Hampshire counties for people who enroll in Original Medicare, a government-sponsored program. Both the MA Prescription Drug (MAPD) and Part D drug plans utilize a preferred pharmacy network to help members save costs. This preferred cost-sharing pharmacy network will continue to be offered in 2018. The MAPD plan will also add more medications to the existing list of $0 copay medications that treat hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and osteoporosis - some of Medicare's most common conditions and utilized prescription drugs.
Anthem also offers Medicare Supplement plans to Original Medicare enrollees all across the state. These plans help cover costs Original Medicare does not cover, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles at any doctor or medical facility that accepts Medicare. These Supplement plans are generally paired with a prescription drug plan.

For those following the news surrounding e-cigarettes, at some point you get accustomed to all the negativity coming by way of governments toward e-cigarette brands and the industry as a whole.
Whether at a local, state, or national level, there are plenty of politicians and other government officials who seemingly have placed a target on the e-cig issue. We understand why, since this is an argument that tends to tap into the public's emotional understanding of the industry, rather than a rational one, making people weary of e-cig juice being toxic and linking vaping to popcorn lung, for instance.
What that means is that it is much easier to get behind the opposition to e-cigarettes rather than the movement for them. With relatively little data out there about e-cigs, governmental groups and leaders are fearful of a return to smoking's heyday are very skeptical of the industry and its many enticing e-cig starter kits.
That is what made this story of the White House's response to the FDA's regulation proposal for e-cigarettes came as somewhat of a surprise. With all the furor we have seen from some senators and congressmen, the White House's Office of Management and Budget actually ratcheted down the language of the FDA's proposal in a very favorable way for e-cigarette brands.
The key provision that was changed had previously stated it would create a prohibition of non-face-to-face sales, which could have been interpreted in a number of ways. Besides the intent of keeping e-cigs out of vending machines, such a clause could be read in a way that restricts online sales of electronic cigarettes and the e-cig juice used to fill them.
The internet is where most e-cigarette brands started and where the majority still do their business, so restricting online sales could have had an immense effect on the industry. The availability of a wide variety of e-cig starter kits and e-cig juice flavors really expanded the interest in the new technology, so putting a clamp down on online sales would have been a blow.
Thankfully, the White House clarified that part of the FDA's proposal to make it clear that it should restrict the sale of e-cigs through vending machines specifically. This singular move has left the door open for online sales, where a large amount of e-cig users buy everything that they need.
Does Obama Support Vaping?
So why would the White House make such a change to the proposal? Does Obama support vaping? As a former smoker, does he know the difference between vape and smoke and what the e-cig could mean for public health? Why did he go against the FDA and limit what the FDA wanted to do to diminish vaping? Knowing full well the impact that their edits would make, we are left to wonder what was behind it.
Is Obama secretly a supporter of electronic cigarettes? He is a former smoker who dropped the habit, although there is no word on how he did it, other than the President suggesting that he is too scared of his wife to go back to smoking. People tend to blame Obama for everything but in terms of politicians that have actually acted to protect vaping, can't argue that the President has stepped in where he could to give smokers an alternative.
Frankly there are both Democrats and Republicans that are hostile to vaping as well as Dems and GOPers that are sympathetic to vapor. This is not a partisan issue, this is an education issue more likely.
Kidding aside, we don't know how the President's past 7 seven years without a cigarette was for him. Maybe he sympathizes with smokers that have found an alternative in e-cigarettes.
The reasoning could also be purely economic, as the White House's Office of Management and Budget has its own interest there too.
Their job isn't to stifle growth of business, and especially new industries such as this one.
This may be the reason that they left a lot of the proposal alone, but focused on toning down the elements that would hinder e-cigarette brands from developing the industry further. Restricting online sales would have also made for an unfair marketplace, as only the biggest players could afford to straight to retail stores. It would have had all the potential of a typical monopoly, one that slows innovation and keeps prices here.
Whatever the reason may be, for those of us buying e-cigarettes, e-cig juice, and other products in this industry online, we are thankful that the White House took action. We already covered the advantages to buying e-cigarette products online, but lets not forget that the ease of entry into the industry can produce exciting new products and push the technology forward.
We tip our hats to you over in Washington for doing that much, whatever your reason was for doing it.

Renowned Philippine celebrity and model Liza Soberano has topped the list of 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2017. The annual list was released by TC Candler and has been around since 1990.

The young actress has been starring in multiple television shows and movies since her breakthrough success in a local television show back in 2014. Soberano was followed by Thylane Blondeau and Tzuyu who bagged the second and third spots respectively.
Bollywood celebrities are also figured in the list. Priyanka Chopra ranked number 25 followed by Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt in the 37th and 73rd spots respectively.

Recently, ad agency Concept 73 hired commercial photographer Tim Tadder to shoot a spaceman-themed ad campaign for the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The client wanted four main images to be used in a print campaign and on digital billboard displays in Las Vegas during the week of the show, and 25 additional images of the spaceman wandering around Las Vegas and the desert to be used for social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc). Instead of creating a narrative with the series, the client asked for "complete randomness."
Tadder, who's won numerous awards for outrageous and powerful images he's created for global brands, was up for the challenge. All of these images were created in two days – one day in the studio and one on location. Using Google Earth and stock photo research, Tadder brainstormed ideas for landscapes that could stand in for the moon's surface. "I found the the Valley of the Fire State park and knew that it gave me the moon-like service to use in the post production, Tadder told PDN via email. "We Google Earthed it and headed out there. We traveled light with just one assistant, who became the spaceman, and a wardrobe stylist, Shannon Amos, who was in charge of the spacesuit." Tadder photographed the tiger (slide 1), owl (slide 7) and the house cat (slide 6) in the studio; they were later composited into the location images.
PDN asked Tadder if shooting with a spaceman resulted in any funny stories. Tadder replied, "We were stopped by a State Trooper in the middle of the desert while the spaceman was walking down the road. He asked us if we were making an 'art' project, otherwise he'd have to write us up. It was a little too random for the trooper to digest, and besides, I think he got a kick out of it."

Well, I'm finally getting round to sharing the adventure of my first-ever destination wedding. This was back last summer, in the August heat of the southern Spanish hills; at an incredibly beautiful mansion called the Palacete de Cázulas, near Otiva. This was the amazing location for Mel and Lee's Spanish wedding.
I arrived into Malaga airport in the early evening. I had taken my camera and lenses as hand luggage in my Lowepro Pro Roller case, and then checked another case with a few clothes, a couple of lighting stands and some other odds and ends. Mel met me in the arrivals hall and we hurried outside to where Lee was waiting (illegally!) with the hire car. They had already been out in Spain for several days, and during the 90 minute journey up into the hills they filled me in on some of their stay so far. Their dream had been to hire a mansion and bring as many family and friends out to Spain for a two-week party, and so far it all seemed to be going to plan!
It was nearly dark when we arrived at the Palacete de Cázulas. I quickly dropped my bags in my room in the tower, and then Mel showed me around the grounds. The mansion is a traditionally Spanish villa, on a grand scale. It was lovingly renovated and restored to become a stunning country house capable of accommodating up to 18 guests. The grounds are superb, and a walk through the gardens eventually brings you out onto a terrace which gives spectacular views across and down the valley.
We walked back up to the bar and bbq by the pool, and it took about 30 seconds before I'd been furnished with a bottle of beer and a hotdog. I met the rest of the guests who had already arrived, and sat out in the warm evening, chatting and unwinding, thinking about the wedding the next day.
That night, as you might already know, wasn't entirely uneventful. If you'd like to find out what happened, take a look here.
The next morning I was up early, camera in my hand, ready to capture the day. As you'll see from the photos above, first thing in the morning the weather was a bit cloudy and grey. That didn't last long though, and very soon the relentless sun burnt through the clouds. Outside, Mel was busy putting up decorations with a little help from her Mum and her brother. How they managed to get all those delicate paper decorations out to Spain, along with the wedding dress and everything else that a family needs for a fortnight away, I have no idea!
Once everything was in place, Lee took his things and disappeared to get ready. Mel also started to get ready, as more guests began arriving. The temperature was rising steadily, and so for the first time ever during a bridal prep shoot, the bride took to standing in a bath of cold water to cool herself down! Meanwhile, guests began to file into the little private chapel on the estate.
Mel and Lee had arranged for a local ex-pat padre to lead the service, which he did brilliantly, with humour and conviction. Afterwards it was back out into the courtyard for confetti, before I ran back up the bell tower to get a big group shot of everyone. By the time I emerged back outside, the new Mr and Mrs Saunsby and their guests were making their way through the gardens to the terrace for drinks and canapes.
The wedding breakfast was to to be served in the old Olive Mill – another building in the grounds of the mansion. It was here, during the speeches, that I set myself a little bit on fire. On the windowsills around the room were little citronella incense sticks. I inadvertently leaned against one of these while photographing the speeches. Fortunately a quick-witted guest spotted what was happening and quickly put me out before I'd even noticed it myself, and I got away with just a bit of a singed shirt!
The rest of the reception moved back outside into the courtyard, and Mel and Lee's first dance took place in front of the impressive studded double front doors of the mansion. Sadly it had to be an earlyish night for me because the following morning the gardener was collecting me at 6am local time (5am UK time!) for the trip back to the airport and my flight back to the UK, ready for another wedding the next day in Leeds!
Congratulations once again to Mel and Lee, and thank you for my Spanish adventure! What with nocturnal adventures with birds, setting myself alight during the speeches, and 36 hours with some brilliant people, it will live long in the memory!

Silicon Valley's superstars have forever changed the way we interact with one another and consume information. They now may also just give philanthropy a complete overhaul, too.
The Internet's tech giants are young and successful and because they've already taken major risks in their careers, they're willing to do the same with their charitable giving, experts told Fast Company earlier this month. But they're not content with just sending off a huge chunk of change to a nonprofit and hoping for the best. They've built their companies from the ground up and expect to do the same with the causes to which they've committed.
"I would say Silicon Valley and the financial industry folks we work with want to know the impact that they're having. That's a common theme," Daniel Lurie, CEO and founder of Tipping Point Community -- a Bay Area organization that supports poverty-fighting groups – told Fast Company. "They don't want to just write a check and say 'We'll see you next year.' They want to know where it's going and what the impact is. They want results."
But the Mark Zuckerbergs of the industry aren't just leading the way in the amount that they're giving at such a young age (though that's pretty significant). They're also trailblazing in their plans to innovate the nonprofit space.
According to a study by Equilar published in the Wall Street Journal, tech moguls gave $1.4 billion to charity in 2012. And, eight of Silicon Valley's top 10 donors increased their stock giving from the previous year.
After giving $498.8 million in Facebook stock to charity, the 28-year-old founder of the social networking company soared to the No. 1 spot among tech's givers. Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay, didn't trail that far behind with his contribution of $42.3 million in his company's stock, the Journal reports.
But, perhaps, these technology pros are making the greatest waves by applying their expertise to their philanthropic efforts.
Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water –- a nonprofit that's provided nearly 7,000 clean water projects in some of the most destitute places on earth –- wanted to find a way to show his donors how their contributions are making a difference so many worlds away, according to the Associated Press. He came up with the revolutionary –- and costly –- idea of creating sensors to monitor the flow at each well that's installed.
While most sound donors would shirk the risky idea, Google decided to go for it.
This technology titan announced in December that it would give $23 million in grants to five different nonprofits to spur innovation among charities and increase education for girls and minority students in science and technology, the AP reports.
Charity:Water was rewarded $5 million to develop water-monitoring technology at 4,000 wells across Africa.
"There is sort of a new breed of philanthropists coming into the field," Bradford Smith, president of the Foundation Center, told the AP. "There I think you're seeing a really interesting sort of confluence of almost kind of a venture, risk-taking approach and technology as an instrument for social change."

Press Through Turbulent Times: 20 Years After Lifting of Newspaper Publishing Restriction
The Taiwanese have really done a number on Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall (previously known as Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall). This clutter of stuff is part of the human rights exhibition going on right now at the park, in front of the giant Chiang statue. I've heard they will engrave the names of all of the victims of the 2-28 Massacre inside.
At first glance, this Jack o' Lantern may seem odd. But Chiang Kai-shek's birthday was on October 31. It used to be a national holiday in Taiwan.
The cops were on hand (there are four in this shot) and I counted nine in total. I asked one of them why there were out in numbers and he explained: "Because there are a lot of people here today."
But I found this a bit unsatisfactory. I'd been through the day before and hadn't seen a single officer. "Are you expecting protests today?" I pressed him.
"Uh, maybe," was the reply.
"End the involvement of soldiers in politics"
This exhibition on the development of the media in Taiwan is going on downstairs at the Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. I think it's pretty lame, especially with what's going on upstairs in with Chiang's statue. The exhibition jumbles together the last fifty years of this and that, explaining about how reporters had to report to the Taiwan Garrison command and how "the president's office" was "off limits". There's some stuff about the explosion of new publications after the lifting of martial law in 1987, on how many of the newspapers went under and the many journalists who were left unemployed in the nineties. There's also something on "UN for Taiwan".
The exhibit then flips into Chinese only mode. This is where it gets really screwy. For some reason, it covers the two periods of colonialism Taiwan has supposedly undergone, namely 1624 to 1661, when Taiwan was under the Dutch and again from 1895 to 1945, under the Japanese. There is no mention, however, of Taiwan under Koxinga, 1661 to 1683. There is no mention of Taiwan under the Ching Dynasty, from 1683 to 1895. There is no mention of Taiwan under Chiang Kai-shek, his son, Lee Tung-hui or Chen Shui-bien. There is, stunningly, no mention of Taiwan's Aborigines under any of these governments.
The Chinese explanation reads something like this: "When the Dutch came here to our Taiwan in 1624, they colonized we Chinese." It doesn't say: When the Dutch were told by the Ming rulers in Beijing that they could have Taiwan in exchange for the Pescadores (澎湖), they found around 1,000 Chinese pirates and the like, another 500 Japanese and 100,000 Aborigines living in Taiwan. In order to develop Taiwan, the Dutch invited guest workers from China to come over to the island. These individuals along with the Aboriginal women they married are the ancestors of people living in Taiwan now. To expedite their goal of developing Taiwan, Dutch ships regularly landed in Fuchien province to move guest workers from China to Taiwan.
This is how Taiwan's population progressed throughout the 17th century:
1,000 Chinese in 1624
20,000 in 1648 (sex ratio – 20 guys for every woman)
30,000-40,000 in 1661 (sex ratio – 35:1), Koxinga's 25,000 soldiers increase Taiwan's population
1683 100,000 - Beijing tries to sell Taiwan back to Holland then, when this fails, seriously considers bringing back the entire population to China and abandoning the island, which the Emperor Kangsi calls "a blob of mud floating in the ocean".
I would think Taiwan was populated with "Han" Chinese with the assistance of the Dutch, but hardly colonized. You need people in order to colonize. Taiwan's Aborigines were colonized by:
1. The Dutch
2. Ming Loyalists (Koxinga)
3. The Ching Dynasty
4. The Japanese
5. The KMT
6. The DPP
An account of these undeniable phases of colonization is completely overlooked by this exhibition.

Party conference season is once again coming to an end, and I think everyone in the Labour Party will agree with me when I say that it has been a good one for us.
Ed Miliband's speech on Tuesday has already shifted the political debate on to our territory and began to lay the foundations for the next Labour manifesto.
As well as bringing forward the first few policies that will form the basis of our offer to the country in 2015, he has also sharpened our attack on David Cameron and the Conservatives, and made clear to the public that the next election will be a very clear choice between two competing visions for our country.
Now I know that political slogans and sound bites can sometimes make politics seem a little superficial, but Ed's latest addition to the political lexicon is brutal in its sincerity: Britain cando better than this.
This is not about denigrating the country we all cherish; it is about acknowledging we have not had the leadership we deserve, and offering the hope of a brighter future.
In 1997 we didn't win by relying solely on the public's rejection of the legacy of Thatcherism, we won with optimism, and it is in that spirit that Ed addressed conference on Tuesday.
Freezing energy prices; building a million new homes; raising the minimum wage; increasing access to childcare for working families; and, of course, repealing the horrific bedroom tax.
These are not just policies that will please the party faithful - they are thoughtful solutions to the nation's problems, and they are rooted in mainstream concerns.
They are a statement of intent as opposed to a full manifesto.
They give a flavour of what the priorities of a Labour Government would be and, most importantly, they tell the public whose side we are on.
They say that we are standing up for ordinary people - who are suffering the effects of an economic crisis they had no part in creating - against a right wing Government that is too busy worrying about those at the top.
As soon as Ed had left the stage in Brighton the Conservative Party wasted no time in trying to tell the public that Ed's plan to reduce their energy bills would be a disaster for the economy.
Whilst I'm sure the energy companies will be very pleased to know they have a Government willing to defend their profits, I think that most people will be wondering why David Cameron is more concerned with helping the Big Six than he is about helping the millions of people struggling to pay their gas and electricity bills.
The answer is simple: it's the job of the Conservative Party to stand up for those at the top and its Labours job to stand up for everyone else.
In Brighton, we started to set out how we would do that, and now it is up to all of us to make sure we get back to Government so we can start to deliver for the people we serve.
The next election is going to be one of the most important of our time and the Tories have already made it clear that they are willing to fight dirty to hang on to power.
Returning to Government after just one term is a big task, but I am confident that Ed Miliband and the Labour team are up to it, and after this week we have been given the first bit of ammo we need to get it done.

So, yeah, I'm not ready. I'm not ready for Eldest to leave for college. I. Am. Not. Ready.
(Did you get that modern day emphasis? Or did I fuck with your head by using appropriate capitalization? Go, me!)
I've done all of the "oh-hey-did-you-consider-this" queries to the man. You know, something to put all of your toiletries in when you make the trek to shower and shave. And, you know, the number of underwear to have so you're not doing laundry once a week (or turning the underwear inside out). And the reminder that having flip-flops that you only wear to and from the shower so, you know, no athlete's foot and no walking in -oh-my-fucking-god-what-is-that.
Still. And all. I am not ready. He is. Oh, good god, he is. He is more than ready. And he will be just fine.
And yet I find myself wondering, once again, how my mother managed to let us all free and go on with her life. I'm not saying she never gave a care. She did. She does. But how do you make the transition? When do you stop having to have that child near you, in your home, sheltered in a shell that is his room where you make sure you knock, but you knock, and he says, "Come in"?
When do you get old enough to let them go?
I'd like to know.
I'd really like to know.

NEOM Enchantment Limited Edition Candle
4 comments
A department store in York where I live just got this candle in and I have to admit I stood and just absorbed the stunning smell for a good few minutes (think the sales assistants thought I was nuts). I keep doing this more and more with NEOM candles so I think I'm going to have to shell out the cash for one soon, they definitely sound like they're worth it! I reckon I'd either go for this one or lemon and basil, think it's called Refresh.ReplyDelete

Kim Kardashian 56-Pound Weight Loss: Wears White Bikini And Reveals How She Did It [PHOTO]
Kim Kardashian is back in a bikini, six months after giving birth to daughter North West. The reality-TV star shows off her new curves on the cover of Us Weekly.
She's back! Pick up our new issue to see pics of Kim Kardashian flaunting her bikini body: http://t.co/Zjuz7s3tye pic.twitter.com/BdB236NNo4
— Us Weekly (@usweekly) December 11, 2013
A source tells the publication about her weight loss: "Kim feels confident again. She worked really hard and is so motivated to stay fit." To start every day, Kardashian reportedly has been doing 100 squats, which would explain her infamous derriere.
In the cover photo, Kardashian is on the beach in a teeny white bikini, and the caption reads, "My Body Is Back! No Gimmicks, No Surgery!
In November, the 5-foot-3-inch beauty credited her weight loss to the Atkins diet, a low-carbohydrate meal plan. Carbs are drastically reduced, and dieters consume more protein and fat than they would on a standard diet. The body then uses fat as fuel, causing rapid weight loss.
"What distinguishes the Atkins diet is the absence of a lot of carbohydrates, so that leaves out a lot of choices," Jonny Bowden, author of "The Great Cholesterol Myth," told E! News recently. "You can make bad choices and good choices, but there's nothing dangerous about the Atkins diet. There really isn't a downside to it."
During a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Kardashian admitted that getting rid of the extra pounds after the birth of her daughter was the "greatest challenge" of her life.

If your house is anything like mine, the Hamilton Musical soundtrack is on repeat (please preview before the kids hear it). I tend to block a lot of the stuff my kids constantly play; however when it comes to Hamilton, I catch myself singing at the top of my lungs 9 times out of 10. It's crazy. I took American History in high school and again in college. I even taught it to my two oldest in high school, but I've never been more driven to fully understand every detail of the American Revolution, as I am now. One of the major players in our country's history is Marquis de Lafayette.
In honor of what would have been his 259th birthday we'll take a look at his life, his legacy, and his undying loyalty to the United States, as we take part in the iHomeschool Network September birthday celebration.
Who is the Marquis de Lafayette?
He was baptized Marie, Joseph, Paul, Yves, Roch, Gilbert du Motier, Marquis du Lafayette, Baron de Vissac, Seigneur de St. Romain. In America, we know him simply as Lafayette.
Lafayette was born on September 6, 1757, at the Château de Chavaniac, located in Auvergne about 300 miles south of Paris. By age two, his father (a colonel) had been killed at Minden during the Seven Years' War. When he was 12 years old, his mother and grandmother passed away in the same week. His grandfather died just a few weeks later.
With the passing of all of his immediate family, he was left a very wealthy orphan.
In 1771, at age 14 he entered the Royal Army, and just two years later at age 16, he married Marie Adrienne Francoise de Noailles. Marie came from one of the most powerful families in France; she was related to the king. However Lafayette was not impressed with status or wealth, instead he longed for military glory.
Lafayette's Determination
In 1775, the Marquis attended a dinner party at which he heard of the opening battles of the American Revolution. As he learned about the Americans and their struggle for independence he was inspired to join their cause as a volunteer from that hour. He later wrote:
"I could think of nothing but this enterprise, and I resolved to go to Paris at once to make further inquiries."
An undercover alliance had formed between the French and the Americans, with the purpose of joining forces against the British. The French King wanting to keep this alliance quiet, discouraged French officers from joining the American cause. Despite the King's orders at age 19, and without any combat experience, the Marquis purchased his own ship. Having convinced other French Officers to join him, he sailed to America in 1777, while teaching himself English on the way.
A Lifelong Friendship
Upon his arrival, the Continental Congress was skeptical of his motives and rejected him. Shortly after, a letter written by Benjamin Franklin arrived advising the Continental Congress that Lafayette was well connected and wealthy. Franklin encouraged the Continental Congress to allow Lafayette to join the cause because of his connection to the king, and because all he wanted was military glory. Franklin also advised Congress to keep him out of harms way. Finally convinced of Lafayette's genuine and commitment, the Continental Congress welcomed Lafayette as he came to serve as a volunteer and without pay.
In Summer of 1777, Lafayette met General Washington, and the two developed a lasting friendship. During the battle of Brandywine later that year, the Marquis was shot in the calf. Not wanting to waste time during his recovery he dedicated himself to writing.
He purposed himself to make a difference with his pen. He wrote to his wife in France, as well as members of French nobility assuring them of the upcoming American victory. He also wrote letters to the Americans, reassuring them the French would come in full support and not to lose faith in their cause.
"During his convalescence he turned himself into the foremost ambassador between France and the United States" – Laura Auricchio
Washington was thoroughly impressed by the Marquis and immediately placed him in command even tough he had never seen battle field action. Lafayette saw Washington as a hero, and Washington saw him as a son.
"Washington had several surrogate sons during the Revolution, most notably the Marquis de Lafayette, and he often referred to Hamilton as "my boy."
― Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton
Just 6 months after arriving in Philadelphia, Lafayette was a commander, and was favored by Washington.
The friendship between the two grew so much that Lafayette named his son Georges Washington de Lafayette, and later named his youngest daughter Marie Antoinette Virginie in honor of the Queen of France, and the State of Virginia.
The Hero of Two Worlds
America's Favorite Fighting Frenchman
In 1824, at the invitation of President James Monroe, he and his son returned to the United States for a 13 month stay, touring all 24 states in the American Union. Everywhere he went he received a hero's welcome, honors were presented and monuments were erected to commemorate America's Favorite Fighting Frenchman.
Lafayette died on May 20th 1834, and was buried at Picpus Cementery in Paris, under soil taken from Bunker Hill.
In 2002, Lafayette was given honorary American citizenship by Congress.
Some Fun Facts
- At the age of 13, he joined the 'King's Black Musketeers'. This is the same regiment was later immortalized in the novel The Three Musketeers.
- There are 44 cities and counties in the United States, named in his honor.
- His return to America in 1824 inspired a series of collectibles to be produced. You can find a variety of items like dinner menus, commemorative plates, handwritten letters, and such. You can see some of these on this Pinterest board.
Further Exploration
The more I learned about Lafayette, the more I wanted to keep digging. Some of the following books and articles lead me to some pretty fascinating trails that I plan to pursue. If you have the time, or if you've become as fascinated with the Marquis as I have, I encourage you to continue exploring!

CSPS™ – Canberra Smart Probe Software
CSPS – Canberra Smart Probe Software brings intelligent instrumentation to both users and Service Department personnel. It helps users set up and utilize CSP instruments and all associated CSP – Canberra Smart Probes. It also provides service organizations with the right tool to diagnose and calibrate each instrument via a simple serial link to a PC. CSPS can also upgrade the instrument's firmware, making sure that you always have the most up to date product for carrying out your daily Health Physics responsibilities.
With the new smart design of CSP, key components of hardware circuitry (high voltage, amplifier, discriminator, etc.) are located directly inside of the probe housing rather than in the host survey instrument.
The intelligence associated with controlling those components is also located in the probe – that is, control and storage of key parameters, settings, calibration, probe ID, alarm settings, etc.
Thus the probe is a fully integrated subsystem, acquiring and transmitting data to the instrument (survey meter or PC).
CSPS talks directly to the probe and makes it available (setup and calibration) to host instruments (Radiagem™ or PC) for further use in the field.
CSPS also sets up and calibrates Radiagem, Avior®, MIP 10 Digital and Colibri® via a direct link to the PC, avoiding the need for other instruments or connections (no mechanical setup).
Features & Benefits
- Set up and calibrate CSP instruments and probes
- Replaces instrument during calibration and daily checks
- Calibrate with any radio-isotope of CSPS library
- Wizard adjustment setting to adapt CSPS to existing source and ensure smooth automatic process
- Check all operational parameters
- Edit and select alarm setpoints
- Manage all logged data-points in instruments and probes
- Upgrade CSP instruments and CSP™ firmware
- QA instrument diagnosis
- Easy to operate

Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro Removal
What is Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro:
Threat Classification: Rogueware
Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro is a malicious rogueware from the Rogue.FakeRean-Braviax family that pretends to be a legitimate anti-spyware program. It produces fake messages that your system has been infected. If you try to remove these infections, Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro will ask you to buy the full version. The Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro rogueware injects itself into the system and changes permission policies and modifies the registry. Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro is usually installed by the user itself not knowing that this is an actual virus. The threat masks itself as a legitimate program. The possible distribution of the Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro varies but is not limited to – downloading fake Windows updates, installing software "supposedly" required to view an online video, clicking on ads or banners, downloading e-mail attachments or receiving files through a social media website or software.
Once installed, Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro will take over your system and will present fake messages explaining that your personal information is at risk or that your computer is severely infected by malware. Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro will try to kill any software you try to run on your computer. These actions are basically its own protection mechanism from legitimate antimalware programs. When this infection terminates a program it will display a message similar to the following:
"System danger!
Your system security is in danger. Privacy threats detected. Spyware, keyloggers or Trojans may be working in the background right now. Perform an in-depth scan and removal now, click here."
"System hijack!

Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro will also display fake security alerts and warnings like the following or similar:
"Malware intrusion!
Sensitive areas of your system were found to be under attack. Spy software attack or virus infection possible. Prevent further damage or your private data will get stolen. Run an anti-spyware scan now. Click here to start."
Please note that these pop-up notifications are bogus and are used with the only purpose of making you believe that your PC is at risk and fooling you to purchase Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro. This would generate income for the creators of this infection. Purchasing Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro will expose your personal information to third-parties and you may also become a victim of a credit card or identity fraud.
This is a high-level, high-risk threat, and it should not be left unattended and this is the reason why you should take actions and remove it immediately, as it is a serious threat to your online identity and security.
!!! Please note that these infections could potentially bring up other malware to your computer and even cause a loss of data. Please do not underestimate such threats.
Removal Process:
There are two ways to remove this infection. It is totally up to you to decide which way you want to go:
1. Automatic Removal Method (recommended for regular or novice users), by using a Professional Malware Removal Software.

Manual Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro Removal:
!!! Please note: You can remove Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro manually, however, you should proceed at your own risk, as any of the interventions might render your system inoperable. Therefore this manual removal method is highly recommended for PC Experts or Enthusiasts. For regular users, MalwareKillers.com recommends using SpyHunter or any other reputable security application.
1. Remove Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro by restoring your system to a previous state.
1. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Command Prompt. To do this, turn your computer off and then back on and immediately when you see anything on the screen, start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
***For Windows 8:
If you are using Windows 8, you need to hold the Shift button and tap the F8 key repeatedly, this should boot you into the new advanced "recovery mode", where you can choose the advanced repair options to show up. On the next screen, you will need to click on the Troubleshoot option, then select Advanced Options and select Windows Startup Settings. Click on the Restart button, and you should now be able to see the Advanced Boot Options screen.
2. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, select the option "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" and press Enter on your keyboard.
3. When the command prompt loads up, type:
Windows XP: C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and press Enter
Windows Vista/7/8: C:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe and press Enter
4. System Restore should initialize, and you will be displayed a list of restore points. Try using a restore point created just before the date and time before the Your-computer-has-been-locked virus has infected your computer.
When System Restore has completed its task, start your computer in Windows normal mode, you would need to perform a scan with anti-spyware software as the infection might still be on the system.
2. Delete any registry keys, folders or files related to Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro by checking the following locations:
First, you can try to go to Control panel and click on Programs and Features (Windows Vista/7/8/10) or Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) and check the Uninstall Programs` List for any entry related to Win 7 Security Cleaner Pro. If you find such, double-click on it and try to remove it. Although, bear in mind that you might not be able to remove it directly from the list.
*(Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs).
1. Delete the following registry entries/values, if found:
