Richard Rocheleau (PhD, Chemical Engineering, University of DE), has over 35 years of experience in renewable energy, with an emphasis in the areas of photovoltaics, hydrogen fuel cells, and energy systems. Dr. Rocheleau joined the faculty of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute at the University of Hawaii in 1988 and was appointed Director in 2000. Under his direction, the Institute is leading the development of public‐private partnerships focused on the development, testing and integration of alternative energy technologies into the electrical grid. HNEI has major funding from the US Department of Energy and the Office of Naval Research. Dr. Rocheleau was also successful in positioning the Institute to receive a portion of the 'barrel tax', established by the Hawaii State Legislature supporting studies for integration of renewable energy technologies into the grid intended to assist the state to meet its aggressive renewable energy portfolio goals.
Although the Hawaiian Islands are blessed with an abundance of renewable energy sources including excellent solar and wind resources, and have the nation's most aggressive renewable energy standards, the state still rely heavily on fossil fuels for electricity generation. With isolated (unconnected) island grids and sparse systems on some islands, integration of the intermittent renewable generation systems has been challenging. The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at the University of Hawaii has initiated an integrated effort involving modeling, testing, and demonstration to identify and validate pathways to higher renewable integration. In this talk, I will discuss the analysis being used to identify strategic paths forward and will describe several projects currently underway including the Maui Smart Grid Demonstration Project, the Smart Grid Inverter Project and several grid-scale battery energy storage projects.
Andrew Daka is currently Executive Director of the Pacific Power Association (PPA) an inter-governmental agency and member of the Council of Regional Organizations in the Pacific (CROP) to promote the direct cooperation of the Pacific island power utilities in engineering expertise, technical training, exchange of information, sharing of senior management and and other activities of benefit to the members.
The PPA's objective is to improve the quality of power in the region through a cooperative effort among the utilities, private sector and regional aid donors. The PPA provides direct links between the private sector and member utilities to improve private sector services and thus make their presence in the region more productive.

Simon is chief operating office and Asia pacific managing director for Enernet Global. Simon was formely with Hydro Tasmania including roles as Manager, Hybrid Off-Grid Solutions and Project Director for the King island Renewable Energy Integration Project (KIREIP). Simon was awarded a 2010 Fulbright Academic Exchange Scholarship, having previously been acknowledged under the Australia Korea Foundation: Next Generation Leaders Program.
Enernet Global implements microgrids in the traditional off-grid sectors, such as remote communities and the mining sector. In recent months the deployment of microgrid technology to grid connected clients in the commercial and industrial sectors is becoming more prevalent, as behind the meter solutions are offering cost effective solutions to traditional retailed energy services.
Commercial microgrids also offer enhanced energy services with increased levels of energy security and reliability and the prospect for seamless islanding where grids offer less than acceptable reliability.
Enernet will outline how the economics of solar PV and energy storage, and the integration of these systems into on-site load and demand management is driving a whole new class of renewable microgrids.
Hydro Tasmania are Australia's largest renewable generator, and have a comprehensive track record in assisting remote island communities switch to reliable clean energy systems.
The Flinders Island development involves integration of wind and solar generation with the existing diesel power station and the installation of enabling technology, such as a control system, flywheel, dynamic resistor and battery energy storage. Hydro Tasmania has worked with Tasmanian manufacturers to develop a series of modular units to house and ship the enabling technologies essential to the energy solution.
Equipment was fabricated and tested off-site, ensuring a speedy rollout at the final location, reducing the risk, cost and duration of construction. The modular units provide a lower cost and scalable solution that will allow easy and rapid transport and installation for renewable energy projects and can also serve temporary generation, such as in disaster relief or in the mining industry.
Since commissioning in late 2016 the Flinders Island hybrid energy hub has run 100% renewable for half of the time.
James Hamilton is a researcher at the University of Tasmania, leading implementation of the King Island low load diesel research and Rottnest Isand variable speed diesel programs. He is currently a director with Renewable Ready and has formerly held roles as director of Joule Logic, a specialist renewable energy IPP and consultancy who develop, deliver and own embedded wind power systems across Australia (including Flinders Island), and as Senior Commercial Engineer with Windlab Systems. James has worked within the renewable sector for over a decade, across roles in Australia, Indian, China and South Africa.
Australian utilities are at the fore of innovative diesel based enablers, able to substantially reduce the cost and complexity of high penetration renewable integration. The technology progression can be traced back to 2003, with low load diesel units commissioned within the Denham wind diesel system. More recently the application has been validated across a range of utility application including Rottnest Island and King Isand. King Island has set a number of records including a sustained and stable diesel off capability, in addition to hosting Australia's largest battery energy storage system. This presentation also covers the development of variable speed diesel platforms, a natural extension to low load application, providing for efficiency improvements of 40% at low load. The technology provides a pathway to renewable integration without a requirement for battery storage, significantly reducing the cost and compexity of system hybridisation.
Simon has over 10 years' experience in the Australian energy sector. He has worked on large and commercial scale grid-connected photovoltaic PV systems, hybrid off-grid power stations, financial modelling, energy efficiency audits and PV system performance modelling.Simon is an experienced project manager and has a strong background in renewable energy, with a Bachelor of Engineering (1st Class Honours) and Bachelor of Information Technology from the Australian National University.Before joining ITP Renewables, Simon was an Electrical Engineer with Connell Wagner (Aurecon) where he undertook project management, electrical design and risk management work on rail infrastructure and defence projects. Simon has also worked with the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies, investigating the feasibility of carbon capture and storage technologies.
Simon is a former Director of the Australian Solar Council (ASC), previously the Australian Solar Energy Society (AuSES).
Paul Pauze is the Vice President of Business Development and Sales for Innovus Power Inc., a North American company who has developed the first microgrid control system with commercial, primary power variable speed generator (VSG).
Prior to joining Innovus in 2016, Paul was the founder and President of SunRise Power Corp. a leading Ontario solar manufacturer and engineering firm from 2009-2015 specializing in commercial rooftop solar PV systems. SunRise was Ontario's first-string inverter manufacturer and delivered the provinces first commercial rooftop racking systems.
Before joining the renewable industry, Paul spent many years in manufacturing with General Electric in Peterborough Ontario, in a number of rolls from Engineering Manager, Lean Leader to Plant Manager.
Paul has been a professional engineer for 20+ years, and a member of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers holding a Bachelor of Science in Electro-Mechanical Engineering from Queens University where Paul started his career in renewables as Electrical Manager of the Solar Vehicle program leading the team to a top 5 at SunRayce 95.
Today's sophisticated microgrids are challenged by operating with 125-year-old synchronous generation technology. Complex systems, controls, and storage are required to maintain grid stability when integrating high penetration renewables. Using power electronics to enable Variable Speed Generation (VSG) optimizes efficiency by allowing the generator's engine to operate at optimal speeds for any load and maintains microgrid stability at any renewable penetration by producing power through a back to back converter platform.
This presentation discusses technology advances that eliminate the need for storage to provide grid stability for high penetration renewables, therefore significantly lowering the levelized cost of energy.
We will discuss the results of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy report, "Feasibility of Variable Speed Generators for Canadian Arctic Communities". The report demonstrates how the use of converter-based generation significantly lowers emissions, fuel consumption and provides the lowest LCOE for remote northern community renewable integration.
We will also review the results from a recent installation of a 590kW VSG installation in the community of Aklavik Northwest Territories Canada.

Stunning Bags from Village England
August 20, 2014
We love discovering new like-minded brands who value the beauty and quality of their product above all else. Village England is one such company, crafting beautiful women's handbags out of the finest quality leather. We caught up with co-founder Julia Dobson, who has turned the dream of setting up an accessories brand into a reality.
Where did the idea for setting up Village England come from?
Eddie (Knevett, designer and co founder) and I used to joke about setting up our own brand. We met when he was the Head of Accessories at one of the UK's biggest department stores and I was the Country Manager at a luxury fashion brand. Some years later, we felt that that no-one was doing gorgeous, relaxed bags in a very English way at a real world price (of course there are plenty of shiny, hard "New York" style bags), so it seemed the time was right to put our money where our mouthes were (so to speak).
Thus far we've been really overwhelmed with the reaction from customers. People have been so kind about our styling, and we're really pleased that they really appreciate our quality of leathers and the manufacturing. Our first American customer wrote a letter after she received her bag which almost made me cry. (read it here) http://villageengland.com/blog/what-you-love-lorraine-and-the-cranleigh/ It's those moments when you think "maybe, just maybe we were right!"
What inspires your bag designs?
Eddie designs our collections, and I know he looks to the English countryside to describe the English aesthetic in our product. Really relaxed and tactile leathers, details inspired by the countryside (bridle or stirrup details, next season we have straps inspired by gun-straps). You can really feel the Englishness in the colour pallet he uses, the summer collection just gone had colours combinations normally only seen in a manor house garden, this season you can see the autumnal lake district colours - slate blacks, rusty reds, khakis.
What makes a Village England bag unique?
We work really hard to make sure the bag will work for real life. Of course we want to make bags that women fall in love with, but for me the important stuff happens after someone starts to use the bag. We want handles that will stay put on your shoulder, pockets at the right height so you can get your hand into it without taking the bag off your shoulder, enough access for things you need all the time, but with appropriate security - that sort of thing. And then we want to delight, so linings that feel gorgeous when you put you hand into the bag, a big, padded pocket for an iPad or Kindle, tiny etchings on our studs, just because it's the right thing to do. Finally we choose leathers that are going to look better with age. We want Village England to be the bag in your wardrobe you always go back to. Finally, it must be really good, old fashioned value for money.
What is the best advice you were ever given?
In business: "Make sure you keep the main thing the main thing".
In life: "Have you ever realised how "What the hell" is always the right answer?"
What do you enjoy doing when you're not designing?
I have two small boys (2 and 4), so I'm mostly found in parks, puddles or creating some exceptional train tracks (if I do say so myself).
What are your favourite Seven Boot Lane boots?
Are you kidding? It's the Annie. And then some days its DEFINITELY the Caitlyn. And then there are the Carrie days. The only problem with Seven Boot Lane is having to choose.

Why Personal Brands give Real Estate Agents the edge.
The real estate industry has never been more competitive. The internet, mobile devices, and social media have leveled the playing field. Now, more than ever, standing out from your competition will allow you to successfully attract new clients, close more deals, and grow your business. Here's why personal brands give real estate agents the edge.
Investing in a personal brand is the key
Entrepreneur outlines personal branding perfectly in their article 5 Steps to Build Your Personal Brand. They say "Your personal brand is how you appear to the world…once people know who you are and begin to identify you with a specific area of understanding or expertise, you'll be well on your way to becoming the go-to person in your niche or industry."
Take a moment and think about a successful Realtor in your community.
What are they known for and how do they project themselves to their clients? They are more than Top Producers – they have invested in a personal brand that is working hard to booster their recognition within their community.
A personal brand strategically carves out a way to differentiate you and your service as distinctive and unique, allowing a client to choose your brand over those of your competitors.
Need a brand? Ask yourself these questions:
What is unique about my service that will have a buyer or seller choose me over someone else?
Does my current brand stand out from my competitors?
Does my website, social media pages and marketing materials reflect my unique value, look, feel, message and promise?
Have I positioned myself as an expert in my industry?
How can I brand myself while being regulated?
A common question I'm often asked. You'd be surprised to know that most franchise real estate brands, such as Remax, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, Royal Lepage, DFH etc, allow their agents to personally brand themselves. Each do have their own guidelines as to how you go about this. To find out what restrictions may be involved, take a quick peek at their branding standards.
In my experience, its often as simple as including their logo or name on your marketing materials.
Some of the Realtors we've branded
We've been branding Realtors and businesses for over 20 years. In that time, we've met some amazing people. Together we've created outstanding personal brands that tell unique stories, resonate with niche clients, and brought our clients the success they deserve.
Here's are some examples…

All McBride students need to fulfill a three-credit "Practicum," which emphasizes cultural immersion and engagement in the world of public affairs. The practicum is similar to an independent study, but with a twist. The goal of the course is for you to pursue a worthwhile experiential learning opportunity – that is, to "learn by doing."
Essentially, you will be challenged to learn by immersing yourself in an unfamiliar cultural context. You have many options to develop an individualized study program that facilitates your own personal, intellectual, and professional goals. Possibilities include: studying or interning abroad, engaging in research in science or public affairs, learning through service to your community, working as an intern in a way that interfaces the public, and many other options.
The goal is for you to think outside the box and to:
• Research and identify an opportunity that facilitates your own goals
• Fulfill the equivalent of three academic credits in Honors
• Develop a plan for completion, including timetable and budget
• Learn by doing … and exploring!
Awards Support:
McBride is committed to helping students pursue amazing opportunities. Thanks to the generosity of CSM alumni and supporters, the program is able to offer Honors Enrichment Awards to defray extra costs associated with the practicum.
The Deadlines for Honors Enrichment Applications are as follows:
• Spring and Summer 2018 Deadline - Feb 13, 2018
• Fall 2018 Deadline - April 10, 2018
• Winter 2018 Deadline - Sept 11, 2018
• Spring 2019 Deadline - Nov 13, 2018
The requirements and options for completing the Practicum are explained in each of the Practicum Pathway Agreements below.

History of Project MUSE
Project MUSE is a not-for-profit collaboration between libraries and publishers. MUSE debuted in 1995 as a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins University Press and the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at JHU, the first of its kind in scholarly humanities publishing. Grants from the Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities allowed MUSE to go live with JHU Press journals in 1995. In 2000, MUSE expanded by inviting other scholarly presses and journals to benefit from this successful publishing initiative, cementing MUSE's role as a leading provider of online journals in the humanities and social sciences.
Today, MUSE is still a not-for-profit collaboration with the goal of disseminating quality scholarship via a sustainable model that meets the needs of both libraries and publishers. MUSE is the trusted source of complete, full-text versions of journals from many of the world's leading university presses and scholarly societies, with over 120 publishers currently participating. Book collections on Project MUSE launched in January 2012 and offer top quality book-length scholarship fully integrated with MUSE's scholarly journal content.

I am 30!
Today I turned the big 3-0. John says I am officially an adult now. I'm ok with that. It just means I'm not old yet!! It has been a great day!! John let me stay in bed and play on my new iPad while he prepared breakfast. Then they all served me breakfast, brought me their hand made gifts and sang to me. I could seriously get used to this!! The day continued to be just as great. Destinee and I spent the morning shopping followed by a girls lunch and more shopping. Again, I could seriously get used to this.Then the family headed to the park and then to dinner. This is where I didn't feel so much like an adult and I definitely don't want to get used to.....

The best Super Bowl bets may be a matter of personal risk/reward thresholds, but some are looking better than others based on the matchup in Super Bowl 50. A couple of key considerations will be the lines you are getting, your belief in each team, and your relationship with a higher deity. Aside from those three factors, I almost always go with my gut- and my gut is saying bet the Under.
Best Super Bowl Bets – Take the Under in #50
I don't believe in "sure thing" football bets or "lock" betting tips. What I always say to my readers is that this is my opinion and run it through your own handicapping equations. So with that out of the way let me explain why taking the under is one of the best super bowl bets you can make. We have the perfect conditions for an Under bet with possibly the very best D in the league playing the top O in the league, which should theoretically neutralize each other.
Super Bowl Under Bets – Betting Preview
Ok everyone knows that. But add to that the Denver Broncos are ranked below average as an offense, then you really have a balanced team in the Carolina Panthers playing an unbalanced team in Denver- and it is the offense that is out of balance. Factor in that the Panthers also have a top 5 D and you now have two excellent defenses and only one strong offense. This is a perfect recipe for an under bet (U) in a championship game. If Denver had a high powered offense and porous defense like the old Indianapolis Colts under Peyton Manning, then I would be talking up the Over all day long. But that is not the case. Expect this game to look a little more like the Seattle game with less offense from Denver. And to me that spells Under.
Super Bowl 50 – Winning Under Bets
The remaining piece of this ninja Under betting scenario is to find a decent Over/Under line. When betting O/U lines, you always want to get the best deal you can depending on what side you are on. I like RealBet's under/over line a lot as it now sits at 45.5- many books have it from 44-45 so take the extra point and a half.
Which Team Will Win Super Bowl 50 – Prediction
My gut is once again telling me that Carolina is going to carry the day. I think if you can still find a point spread of 4.5 or 5 anywhere you should think about jumping on it, but we have probably seen that last of those numbers given the public's appetite for all things Carolina Panthers. With the odds lengthening I see less and less value in the Moneyline or Point Spread. However, I think the Under is still a solid bet.

Today is the day I am due to take Mum to Horsfall House. She woke up at 6am and is very anxious. They are taking me to this home. Some strange place and you won't be there. She seems to have forgotten the reasons she wanted to go. I try to remember. But there will be nurses there who will look after you. I think about the stark room I have seen and mums lovely house. There is no comparison. Should I have done it differently? But I can't look after her. She is now so demanding of my time. But I could have got care in. Trouble is I am so knackered and emotionally wrung out I can't think straight, So shall I use this time for respite and rethink and discussion with friends and family? I haven't had any proper conversations with anybody because mums face contorts when I say anything she doesn't understand and if I'm out of the room she shouts for me. I can't even begin to think about the practical side of how to physically pay £5000 per month In advance by direct debit. Haven't had a chance to ring the solicitor to sort out Power of Attorney. I keep thinking about how I could make the room nicer. I will take Brian Dowling's painting. It means a lot to me so hopefully it will mean something to Mum even though it is new, so not familiar yet. I will take her V cushion and the little lavender one. I'll take the new Countryfile calendar she was so pleased with. And some chocolates. And I will buy some flowers. It is a room that faces south so gets the sun but the view is obscured by another wing of the building. I can't remember what is on the floor. Keep thinking this is the last time she will sleep In her bed, this is the last time I will make her supper, this is the last time I will make the porridge that she loves. Why am I doing this? Because she asked me to. Because she begged me to. Get me out of here, she pleaded. Did she REALLY mean it? Have I got it all dreadfully wrong?
We have a cup of tea and she is making some sense. She knows and accepts she is going today. I don't want to take my furniture with me. I want to leave all my rubbish behind. I want to leave all my worries behind but I can't get rid of them. You MUST leave them behind. Otherwise there is no point. Think positive. Think of a new beginning. I just want to go to sleep. OK you have another little sleep …….

BG - Blood Glucose. If you are diabetic, you already know what this is. Diabetics frequently check their blood glucose levels. The NutriBase Tracker App will help you keep your BG readings recorded and organized by date and time. Tracker also helps you track how much medication you take prior to eating a Meal. (See "Meal with Meds.")
Client - This is the person who uses of the Tracker App. Clients normally work with a "coach." A coach is often a dietitian or other qualified nutrition healthcare professional. Coaches frequently communicate with their clients via the Tracker App's text messaging function.
Coach - The "coach" is a registered dietitian (RD) or other nutrition healthcare professional that is supervising the client's goals and progress. Coaches also assist diabetics in reaching their weight goals and managing their meals and medications. (See "Meal with Meds.")
Custom Exercise - This is a new exercise that you have manually added to your exercise list. (You would do this because this activity was not on the list of 80+ exercises provided in Tracker.) To add a custom exercise, you need to know (or be able to estimate) its "burn rate" - the number of calories you burn in performing it for a specific period of time (normally 30 minutes). Tracker has over 80 exercises and activities ready for you to use. Tracker burn rates are based on your body weight.
Custom Food - This is a food item you have created from scratch and saved in Tracker. Custom foods are created using the EDIT Tab of Tracker. Once created, you can use Custom Foods in present and future Logs. They will be automatically sorted for you in alphabetical order.
Database Food - These are all the food items in the Tracker's nutrient database - except for Restaurant foods. Database foods include groceries, produce, and brand name foods. Foods from 20,000+ unique brand names are available to you.
DCA - This is your Daily Calorie Allotment - the number of calories that Tracker deems you should limit yourself to so you can reach your body weight goal in the time you have allotted yourself. You can adjust your DCA in the SETTINGS Tab of Tracker if you feel you have been too optimistic (or not aggressive enough) with your weight change goal.
EDIT - This is one of your main Tabs in your Tracker App. This section allows you to create or edit Custom Foods, Custom Exercise, Meals, and Recipes.
Exercise - An Exercise is an activity that you can record in your Log (along with your foods). The calories in your Exercise are added to your DCA. This means that when you exercise, your DCA increases and you are able to eat more food that day. Clients will exercise to add calories to their DCA so they can end their day without exceeding their DCA. (this is something for you to remember for when you overeat a little.)
LOG - LOG is one of your main Tabs. Your Log is a list of the food items and exercise are stored. When you Log your foods or exercises, you are recording them into your Tracker's LOG Tab. The Tracker's LOG window stores and displays your recorded information for you.
Log-On - This is the process of answering a few questions the first time you use Tracker. This log-on process provides data that Tracker uses to estimate your DCA.
Meal - Big time saver. A Meal is a combination of the food items in your Meal. You can save a Meal and reuse it in future Logs. When you log a Meal, you will see a list of the items in your Meal. If desired, you can edit individual items in your Meal or delete items that you aren't eating this time. When you create a Meal, make sure you create it as a single serving. One way to create a Meal is to use the Edit section of your Tracker App.
Meal with Meds - If you are diabetic and you take medications with your Meals, you can record your meds with your Meals. you can record the type, brand, and amount of medications you take with your Meal. Two hours later, Tracker can remind you to check your BG levels. If the results are good, the medication you recorded with this Meal may be optimal for this particular set of foods. If the results are not what you were looking for, you can edit the meds you took to make the amount more appropriate for the desired result the next time you eat it. The idea is that the next time you eat this meal, your two hour BG Level will be at an improved level. Over time, this process can help you "dial in" your Meals to be optimal for your condition, your body and your metabolism. Over time, you can use these meals to build a Library of Meals with Meds optimized for your personal use.
My Foods - Big time saver. These are foods that you have used in previous (or current) Logs. "My Foods" are limited to Database foods and Restaurant foods. By selecting My Foods, you save a lot of time by selecting the foods you've eaten before (instead of looking them up again.)
Quick Add Food - This is a food item that you create "on-the-spot" by giving it a name and specifying the calories and the meal or snack you want to save it to. A Quick Add Food does not remain in Tracker for future use. Sometimes you will estimate the calories consumed if it isn't in the database and you don't have the data available to you. (You can enter a value for calories and edit it later if you locate a better value.)
Recipe - A Recipe is a group of ingredients (and their amounts) that you assemble into a list. Once created, you can reuse your Recipes in future Logs. Recipes are recorded in your LOG as a single item (as opposed to a list of ingredients as is the case with Meals). After you create a Recipe, you can specify the number of servings you want your Recipe to represent.
Restaurant Food - These are restaurant menu items and their associated nutrient data. Tracker gives you access to over 100,000 restaurant items from over 600 restaurants.
Status Bar - The Status Bar is the colored bar located at the top of the NutriBase Tacker just below your main Tabs. The color of this bar indicates the status of your Logged Calories for the day. It helps you stay under your DCA.
Tabs - The NutriBase Tracker displays a row of Tabs. Tapping these Tabs take you to the windows indicated. Each window provides you with a different set of functions. These are the Tabs you will see in NutriBase Tracker:
Tracker Activation - This is the first thing you do after you start Tracker the first time. You start the app, then you provide your cell phone number, your email address, and your Activation Code. You will need to have your Tracker Activation Code before you log-on to Tracker.
UPC Barcode - If you have a packaged food item and you want to acquire the nutrient information for it, use the UPC Barcode function in your Tracker App. Tracker gives you access to the nutrient data for over 300,000 packages food items.

The issue on electronic cigarettes is fast getting worldwide attention, and even the medical community is sitting up and paying more attention. In the United Kingdom, doctors are also pitching their voices and opinions on matters surrounding the use, distribution, and regulation of e-cigs.
To get a clearer picture on the stance of UK doctors when it comes to the e-cigs issue, an online network comprised of doctors in the UK conducted a survey, with its doctor members as the respondents. The results of the survey were, to say the least, quite interesting.
It was clear from the beginning that not all doctors have a consensus on whether electronic cigarettes should even be sold. As a matter of fact, 16% of those surveyed preferred that they be banned and taken off the market, while 75% support the manufacture and distribution of these products.
Another matter taken up was the propriety of selling e-cigarettes in local pharmacies, instead of convenience stores, vaping shops, or even online stores. 40%, or two out of five doctors, thought that pharmacies should be allowed to hold e-cigs in their inventory. 31% suggested that e-cigs be made more accessible and available in all retail locations, not just pharmacies.
This also led to the question on whether e-cigs should be sold by pharmacies only if a prescription is presented. Again, the reaction was divided: 14% of the respondents agreed that e-cigs should only be sold to those with prescriptions, while 40% preferred that they should be made available over the counter.
If it were up to Dr. James Quekett, selling e-cigs in pharmacies, subject to the presentation of a prescription, is one way to treat it as pharmaceuticals. This is especially true for those who view e-cigs as a means to quit smoking, so they use it as a form of nicotine replacement therapy. Still, he reiterates that e-cigs are not medicines or, at least, they are not classified and subsequently regulated as such. Despite claims and blurbs made by manufacturers about them, there is still no assurance what is truly contained in them. Thus, he cautioned doctors against advising their patients that e-cigs are completely safe. Neither should doctors also treat e-cigs as a tool that will have good long-term effects on health, because there is really no assurance of that fact.
Making e-cigs available over the counter is also advocated by Dr. Michael Blackmore, a retired physician. He is concerned with the impact of e-cigs when it comes to cardiovascular health. The supposed reduced risks in e-cigs due to the absence of nicotine, which is found in regular tobacco products, is almost a guarantee that people will use them more often, and Blackmore wanted to know if e-cigs will contribute to increasing cardiovascular health risks. Until a clear picture has been formed on this matter, e-cigs distribution should be limited to pharmacies.
A formal announcement has been made by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency regarding the regulation of electronic cigarettes as medicines starting this coming 2016. The purpose of this regulation is to see to it that e-cigs are proven safe and effective, and will actually help those smokers who wish to quit.
To put it simply, UK doctors are not really asking that e-cigarettes be banned or declared unlawful. Instead, stricter and proper monitoring measures must be put in place while further studies on its effects and potential impacts are being conducted.

A new material in solar cell design/
They're flexible, cheap to produce and simple to make – which is why perovskites are the hottest new material in solar cell design. Engineers at the University of New South Wales have achieved a new world efficiency record in solar cell design.
Dr Anita Ho-Baillie, Senior Research Fellow at the UNSW School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering and Program Manager for Perovskite Solar Cell Research at the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP), has claimed for UNSW the highest efficiency rating with the largest perovskite solar cells to date.
She said her UNSW team had achieved a 12.1 per cent efficiency rating for a 16 cm2 perovskite solar cell, the largest single perovskite photovoltaic cell certified with the highest energy conversion efficiency, independently confirmed by the international testing centre in Bozeman, Montana.
"Perovskites came out of nowhere in 2009, with an efficiency rating of 3.8 per cent, and have since grown in leaps and bounds. These results place UNSW amongst the best groups in the world producing state-of-the-art high performance perovskite solar cells. And I think we can get to 24 per cent within a year or so."
Perovskite is the fastest-advancing solar technology to date, and is attractive because the compound is cheap to produce and simple to manufacture, and can even be sprayed onto surfaces.
Although perovskites hold much promise for cost-effective solar energy, they are currently prone to fluctuating temperatures and moisture, making them last only a few months without protection. Dr Ho-Baillie's team is working to extend perovskites durability.
Most of the world's commercial solar cells are made from a refined, highly purified silicon crystal and, like the most efficient commercial silicon cells (known as PERC cells and invented at UNSW), need to be baked above 800˚C in multiple high temperature steps.
Perovskites are made at low temperatures and are 200 times thinner than silicon cells.
Perovskite is a mineral of calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3) that was discovered in the Ural Mountains in 1839 and named for Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski. Now the term 'perovskite' refers to any mineral with the same type of crystal structure as CaTiO3.
"We will capitalise on the advantages of perovskites and continue to tackle issues important for commercialisation, like scaling to larger areas and improving cell durability," said ATSE Fellow, Professor Martin Green AM, Director of ACAP.

NEW YORK -- I hope you won`t report me to the media establishment, but it may be time to put in a good word for greed.
Just about everybody else seems to be denouncing it these days, with marvelous self-righteousness, saying that the dirty G-word is the true villain in the latest scandals in Wall Street.
If all these after-the-fact geniuses were merely focusing on criminal greed -- the deliberate, conscious breaking of laws that is charged to the recent alleged perpetrators -- there would be no cause for argument. Indeed, those of us who believe in the system should be the most indignant when it is criminally violated.
But what we are seeing today is subtly, yet significantly, different: the exploitation of individual scandals for general, and possibly dangerous, political ends.
Some ambitious members of Congress -- greedy, perhaps, for political glory -- have seized on the latest arrests as excuses for wide-ranging legislation that would, wherever possible, substitute their judgment for that of the marketplace. There is no evidence whatsoever, in history or present reality, that letting Congress run the economy would result in an improvement.
``Greed,`` of course, is always the other fellow`s emotion: He wants more than we, in our wisdom, feel he is entitled to. In our own cases, loftier emotions are at work: the search for financial security for oneself and one`s family, the natural desire for self-improvement.
This desire, by any name, is universal, and all economic systems must seek to accommodate it. The American system does it as well as any, affording the average citizen the chance to build a better life, to accumulate savings and to help the next generation.
Where such noble desire spills over into greed (``excessive, inordinate or rapacious desire, esp. for wealth,`` says The Random House Dictionary of the English Language), depends on whose financial security is being fortified.

Updated ExpressionEngine Book
At long last - we're excited to announce the release of our ExpressionEngine book, updated for EE 2.6.1. Err, 2.6.2. Oh - just keep reading.
This update has been a longer time coming than MsBoyink and I would have liked (the brunt of the update involved changing the source document from MS Word to Pages on the Mac).
Change Log
From a content perspective, here's what is different with this version of the book:
- Fixed reader reported errata (thanks!)
- Added two chapters covering the new multi-relationship field released in EE 2.6
- Mentioned the new Rich Text Field released in EE 2.5
- Updated all documentation links due to EllisLab restructuring their URLs
- Covered the new ExpressionEngine license structure
- Removed references to content no longer on ExpressionEngine.com
- Edited content such that the book no longer talks about how EE2 is different from EE1, just explaining EE2.
- Updated references to 3rd party add-ons
- Removed references to EE bugs that have been fixed
- Removed the Index of Figures that had questionable value (and that Pages couldn't generate)
What Version?
As I write this ExpressionEngine is sitting at EE 2.6.1, so that's the formal version the book targets. However, in developing the content for the new chapter on Advanced Relationships we actually caused some changes to the EE codebase that will appear in the next released version. The upside is that once, for a change, the book is ahead of the software. The downside is the code in Chapter 29 won't work until the next release of EE. But hey, it's like a little peek into the future of EE.
Update Policy?
We've had a few questions already asking if the update will be free for past purchasers and the answer is no, it's a paid update for everyone. The reality of maintaing a book like this when you are a small business is that it takes a significant amount of time, and we just can't justify continual free updates on a product that costs less than a tank of gas or about the same as a decent meal out for a family of 4.
We are, however, keeping the price the same $29.99 as before. We still feel it's fair based on the quality of the content and the skills you learn by reading it.
Print Version?
Our next task is to update the print version that sells via Amazon, but we want to sell a few copies of the digital one first and see if there are any significant issues that we missed.
Buy Now?
You certainly can - here's the detail page with buy now links.
Time for Wine?
Yes please!
