Your soul is too deep for his,
it feels things he likes to avoid
it dreams of wonder and magic
and he doesn't know how to dream.
Your heart is too big for his,
it loves too fast, too much,
it doesn't know how to stop
and he doesn't know how to give.
Your love is too much for him
because he only knows how to break hearts,
he only knows how to make himself happy,
he only knows how to be selfish.
You don't know how to love from a distance,
he's a master of keeping you at arm's length.
You don't know how to play games,
he has the all-time highest score.
Your mind is filled with beautiful thoughts
that his limited mind can't grasp.
His mind only knows how to trick people,
his mind only knows how to scheme.
You see the best in him,
while he sees all your faults.
You try to see the beauty in his flaws
and he's looking for someone flawless.
You are too much for him
but in all the right ways.
You are too much for him
and darling, he's not enough for you.

Have you been introduced to augmented reality (AR)? If you are in your 40's, perhaps AR was first introduced to you in the movies when watching Star Wars (1977), when Princess Leia was projected from R2-D2 to deliver a message to Obi-Wan Kenobi. There is a good possibility your first introduction to AR was when the shark in Jaws 19 came out and tried to eat Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2 (1989). Science fiction movies have provided a gateway to the possibilities of what exists today and what will exist in the future. If you are a bit younger, maybe the introduction to real use AR apps Snapchat (2011) or Pokemon Go (2016) hold more clout to what AR is to you. No matter your age, augmented reality is becoming a real part of our everyday lives. There are use cases which are going to shape the future of technology. From health and wellness to manufacturing training, augmented reality is being integrated into our lives.
Every industry has numerous practical uses for augmented reality. Some industries are currently using augmented reality. With a 70% memory retention rate, there are plenty of use cases as to why augmented reality will be further injected into our future.
Health and Wellness
The Mirror home workout is a smart gym. Using biometric integrations as well as instructor guided videos, the Mirror smart gym provides real time feedback during your workout. Powered by camera technology and machine learning, the Mirror smart gym provides an augmented reality experience where you have a personal trainer shaping your body and your life.
No, that wasn't an infomercial for the future. That is what is happening now. In home AR personal trainers are happening now.
Another great use case for AR is 3D representations projected on the anatomy of a patient while a surgeon operates. AR improves the surgeon's senses and perception during surgery to make the surgery quicker as well as more precise. Being able to see an AR representation of the patient's anatomy projected onto the patient even before the first incision is visionary medical advancement for the betterment of all going under the knife and the doctors performing the operation.
When thinking about AR in entertainment, the first thing that comes to mind is gaming. While AR finds deep roots in 3D design for gaming, there are other concepts in entertainment which AR is being used. Sports entertainment is a great example of AR integration to society. There are subtle AR uses which have already been assimilated into the sports arena. In college and professional televised football games, have you ever really considered how there is a line of scrimmage marker and first down marker on the field while watching the game on TV? What about when the announcers are drawing out plays of where the players are going on a replay? These are two great examples of how AR is being used in sports entertainment and how we are accepting the uses as each one is introduced.
Engineers who work in CAD (computer aided design) are already taking their designs and developing them into AR practical uses. Imagine being an engineer drawing up CAD plans for another company's product. You could draw up the plans and send the plans over to the company purchasing the product. Then, they could take those plans and do an AR overlay of the product or expand the product to make certain it fits and review if the design needs to be modified. This is all before the first prototype is complete. The prototype becomes an AR file which can be created and used without extensive labor in material prototyping or shipping and receiving of the prototypes.
Another use case for manufacturing is training. Training and on-boarding are big expenses for companies. With the retention rate of AR, training new workers will become easier and quicker. Increasing training retention and on-boarding practices will save companies millions in dollars of overhead. Imagine employees who started the first day, wore an AR headgear which showed them the directions of how to operate a machine. You would no longer have to pull an experienced employee to train an individual in operations. Also, the machine would be intuitive to the training, where it would not operate unless they followed the training sequence projected in AR. This could also be used to retrain new operational sequences needing to be implemented.
Having lived and worked in Sevier County, Tennessee, home of Dollywood, the Smoky Mountains, and many touristy attractions, I can see the vast uses for AR in the tourist industry. One such use is the introduction to an attraction without being next to it. You put the attraction in the hands of those who want to see it or experience it. Imagine a roller coaster projected in AR to see what all loops and turns it does. Imagine a show being projected to experience the live feel of entertainers performing where-ever you are. Tourism has a great opportunity to really dive into AR for the future of tourism. I want to share many more use cases, but really want you to use your imagination of "what if…" to see what you can come up with. If you want to share, please do!
Augmented Reality has some use cases now in construction which are amazing. The one I like the best is having an AR house and being able to place that house anywhere. If you have land and you want to build a house, envision taking an AR house (full size) and placing that house on your property without disturbing the first blade of grass. You can get a full view of how the house would look before construction. You could turn it to see how the sunlight would enter the house. You could walk through it to see how the walls, floors, and ceiling would be laid out. AR housing is truly a unique experience for its viewers.
Another use case is renovations. Being able to see a finished renovation overlay before the first instance of demolition is done, is really a great vision for the homeowners. The visual impact of seeing the overlay on a new countertop, or new cabinets, or new bathroom, is really a fantastic understanding for the homeowner to increase commitment of the project.
One of my favorite use cases for AR is storytelling. As children, we imagine what it would be like for the characters to jump off the page and interact with our everyday lives. Most children have imaginary friends they connect with as their minds develop. The concept of bringing characters into the real world through augmented reality is truly phenomenal. Stories like Winnie the Pooh, where Winnie could be right in front of you telling stories about Christopher Robin. Think of the whole cast of characters coming to life in a nursery while telling the story of Hundred Acre Wood.
In addition to storytelling, augmented reality has a place in education based on bottom brain functions of children and healthy brain development. Bottom brain function manages information from the senses and combines it with information previously stored in memory. Proper bottom brain function is an integral part of early childhood progression. Augmented reality provides advanced bottom brain functions through experience and retention. Ultimately, AR makes us more instinctual swifter.
The Future is Here. The Future is Now.
With smart glasses becoming better utilized and 5G services becoming more widely used, the cell phone and smart technology across all platforms will be superior for augmented reality to expand into our everyday lives more and more. According to MarketsandMarkets, the augmented reality (AR) market is projected to grow from USD 15.3 billion in 2020 to USD 77.0 billion by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 38.1% from 2020 to 2025. Your business can become a part of this growth. The old systems may work in your company, but AR will work better and faster in gaining the attention you need for your business.

Jason Kazar had a big weekend March 5, 2016, but not in the same manner as most people. Rather than celebrating Fake Patty's Day, Manhattan's largest made-up holiday, participating in the political process by caucusing for the Kansas Republican or Democratic Parties' candidates for U.S. President or enjoying the unusually warm weather for early March, Kazar spent the day inside his Toyota Corolla moving people across Manhattan. Kazar is a driver for Uber, the popular online ride-hailing service established in larger U.S. cities that just arrived in Kansas last year. He started driving for Uber three weeks ago, even then looking forward to the opportunity to cash in on the service's demand on this particular Saturday while helping others remain safe. Fake Patty's Day was the service's biggest and most successful day of the year in Manhattan, as ride fares surged to over four times the base fare as people turned to Uber to be their designated driver. Starting at 9 a.m., Kazar criss-crossed Manhattan many times shuttling Fake Patty's Day-goers to and from Aggieville and house parties until the wee hours of the morning.
Join The Collegian as it shows a glimpse into the lives of an Uber driver and his passengers on Fake Patty's Day.

Thick freestanding GaN substrates with low background free-carrier concentrations were subjected to 6 MeV beam proton irradiations. The beam penetration depth, incident perpendicularly to the c-axis, and the change in the carrier concentrations were accessed by monitoring the phonon-plasmon coupled mode by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Reduction of the Raman shift of the A 1(LO)-plasmon coupled mode confirmed that the free-carrier concentrations decreased after proton irradiations. The penetration depth of 6 MeV protons was inferred from the point where phonon-plasmon coupled mode frequencies changed abruptly. The carrier concentrations in the GaN templates before irradiations were 4×1016 cm-3. However, after proton irradiation, the concentration decreased to less than 1×10 15 cm-3 resulting from the incorporation of defects trapping free carriers. It was estimated from the lowest phonon frequencies that most of the irradiated protons stop near 180 μm, which was consistent with the results of Monte Carlo numerical simulations (SRIM). Most of the irradiation-induced lattice damage was recovered after 2 minutes of thermal annealing at 900 °C, as verified by the spectra of the A1(LO)- plasmon coupled mode.

This is my very first submission and I really do want to know what you think. Take just a second to rate it or to send me feedback. By the way, this was a real fantasy that came true!
It starts with you and me walking into a hotel nightclub out of town, so as not to be recognized. It's not a very large place, but decent sized for a hotel. It is darker than most hotel 'bars', so it really has the ambiance of a true nightclub; it even has a decent sound and light show. You are a little nervous because you've had time to think about what we are about to do, but we've talked about it so much, you know you can't back out now. Besides, the idea excites you and you feel a small tingle build between your thighs. I think you are a little surprised that I am going through with it.
I gaze at you as you walk just in front of me and marvel at how good you look. Your auburn hair cascades just across your shoulders. Your figure is amazing. What I can't see from behind is your beautiful face and those brilliant hazel eyes that always melt me. You originally protested, but I begged until you agreed to wear the outfit I laid out for you: that tight fitting plum sweater Maraş Escort top and short black skirt with those awesome 3″ heels which make you the perfect height, not to mention accentuate your already fabulous legs. I picked out a bra for you, but purposely left out panties. The skirt and heels really accentuate your shapely legs and awesome ass.
Wow, the club is packed tonight. You hold my hand as we work our way through the crowd to the bar. We had originally talked about dancing first to loosen up, but now you just wanted to do it before you lost your nerve. People are three-deep at the bar, so it takes a minute to work yourself up to it, your stomach pressing on it. I stand right behind you, still holding your hand. The crowd is loud and having a good time and is oblivious to us. I lean over your shoulder and whisper in your ear to order us drinks. As the bartender walks up, I let go of your hand and place it on the front of your thigh, causing you to jump a little. As you strain to hear the bartender and order, my hand slides around the outside of your leg behind you and between your thighs, touching your already damp lips. You hold on to Maraş Escort Bayan your control while slightly spreading your thighs wider allowing me better access.
You push back into me a little, pressing against my fingers as I slide one, then two fingers inside you. I am getting so excited just feeling you and watching your subtle movements that mean nothing to anybody else. The drinks come (tequila shots) and you shoot your down quickly, lean your head back and say, "OK, do it before I change my mind." With that, I throw back my shot, move in as close to you as I can and unzip my fly, releasing my thick 6″ cock. It effortlessly slides between your thighs and along your wet lips, lubing me up for what's about to happen.
You tilt your ass back a little more and with your palm guide me into you. Since large movements would give us away, we start swaying to the music. To anybody watching, we are just grinding away like everyone else. Little do they know we are really making love right in front of them! My cock swells as we slowly push into each other, your excitement trickling down your thigh. You lean you head back again, turn to Escort Maraş kiss me and whisper in my ear "Pump me one time good and hard and I will come!" I happily oblige you and shove my throbbing cock into you as deep as I can and hold it there. You become very rigid and I see you gripping the edge of the bar tightly and I know you are cumming. This is all too much or me and I explode inside you with a force I have never known.
We stand there for a long moment catching our breath and trying to look around casually to see if anybody noticed. After a minute, I slide out of you and quickly push it back in my pants. I know you need to clean up, and follow you towards the restroom. I can see a small trail of cum dripping down your thigh and that excites me all over again. As you get to the restroom door, I push you in and pull you into the first available stall. I sit down and flip up your skirt to see what I have done to you. Your shaved mound is so beautiful I just can't help myself. Starting on your thigh, I kiss and lick up your leg, cleaning you as I go till I reach those swollen lips of your sweet smelling pussy. I go to my knees and drive my tongue into you and suck deeply until you cum again, this time into my mouth. I drink in all of you, tasting us together. When you come back down from your orgasm, I rise and leave you to gather yourself. I'll be waiting at the bar… just in case you want to do something else next.

Unauthorized Trading of Securities & Legal Remedies for Investors
Some investors prefer to leave investment decisions to a broker or investment adviser. Others like to be apprised of the day-to-day status of their portfolio, performing independent research before every transaction. Financial professionals must be aware of their clients' wishes and comply with them. If a broker or investment adviser executes a transaction without the permission of his or her client, the broker has violated industry rules and possibly also federal laws that prohibit unauthorized trading.
When Brokers Can Trade on Behalf of Clients
Whether a broker has permission to execute trades on behalf of a client without express permission for each transaction depends on the agreement between the broker or investment adviser and the client. Clients with discretionary accounts have given their brokers a limited power of attorney that permits such activity. Non-discretionary accounts usually require consent from the client before each transaction. Brokers and clients are free to negotiate any arrangement. For instance, an investor may give a broker permission to make discretionary trades up to a certain monetary limit. Absent any sort of agreement, the broker does not have discretionary authority.
Laws and Rules that Prohibit Unauthorized Trading
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the self-regulating body that promulgates and adopts rules its members must follow. NASD Rule 2510, which is incorporated into the FINRA Manual, specifically prohibits brokers or investment advisers from executing discretionary trades unless the client has given express, written permission to the professional. Furthermore, FINRA Rule 4512 imposes on brokers several record-keeping requirements, one of which is to keep a list of people who have authority to make discretionary trades for the account.
Unauthorized trading has also been interpreted to violate FINRA Rule 2020, which prohibits the use of manipulative, fraudulent, or deceptive practices, and Rule 2010, which requires its member to observe "high standards of commercial honor" and fair trade principles.
Unauthorized trading may be considered securities fraud under federal law. SEC Rule 10b-5, codified at 17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5, prohibits engaging in fraudulent schemes, misrepresentations or omissions, and deceitful practices in connection with the sale or purchase of a security. Some courts have held that there must be an accompanying misrepresentation or omission along with the unauthorized trading to satisfy the requirements of a 10b-5 claim, however. Private actions brought pursuant to Rule 10b-5 also require proof of investor reliance, which may be difficult to prove in cases of unauthorized trading.
Remedies Available to Investors
Depending on the circumstances of the case, investors whose brokers or advisers have engaged in unauthorized trading can pursue an arbitration claim or a lawsuit filed in court. In either case, the investors could seek actual damages. These include, at a minimum, out-of-pocket losses caused by the broker's prohibited trading. If the transactions resulted in losses during an upward-trending market, the investor may also seek market gains he or she would have otherwise experienced.

Meet the Navy Vet Turned Baker Who Transformed a School Dream Into a Donut Business
Kamal Grant's dream job started with a donut executive. Grant, 39, was in the figure-out-your-future phase of high school in Georgia when a higher-up from Dunkin' Donuts visited his class and said the only thing Grant needed to hear: Part of the executive's job was taste-testing in the research lab. Grant, already a decent baker with a discerning sweet tooth, decided he'd do whatever it took to make eating confectionaries his actual business.
After school, Grant joined the Navy as a cook and baker. He then used his GI Bill benefits and the Navy College Fund to pay tuition at the Culinary Institute of America. From there, he attended the American Institute of Baking, then joined Flowers Baking Company where he oversaw the preparation of thousands of loaves of bread a week. He was good at it. So good that he could assess dough quality in a 10-foot-tall mixer from dozens of yards away. So good that he decided to go into business for himself.
He abandoned his steady paycheck in 2008 to do what had been in his sights since that executive visited his class: Open a shop selling innovative, whimsical donuts. Sublime Doughnuts was born, with Grant as its founder and creative director dreaming up flavors like pistachio cannoli, CBD coconut cream, and cotton candy that were unlike anything the people of Atlanta had ever eaten. But for how sweet his goals were, getting there wasn't a cakewalk. So we asked Grant for advice on turning passion into a profession. Here's what he had to say.
Build your self-discipline and be ready to do the work
At the heart of any successful small business is a person who, after discovering what they wanted to achieve, prioritized long-term success over immediate gratification. But that's not a superpower that comes easily. For Grant, it came from joining the military. "Before I went to the Navy, I was rough-and-tumble," he says. "But while I was there, I learned how to be a straight shooter, stay organized, and get a job done."
Those skills became useful a few years later when he opened Sublime Doughnuts and couldn't afford to hire employees at the start. "For the first six to eight months, I was in the shop by myself," he says. "I would come in at 2am, make all of the donuts, open the doors at 6am, sell donuts from 6am to 6pm, clean up at night, get out of there by 7:30pm or 8pm, be asleep by 9pm, and then wake up and do it all over again."
Though being willing to do the work is key, Grant says if you're not excited about the job you're doing, it's going to be tough to stay motivated. "The real key is to do something you would want to do regardless [of] if you get paid, so find something you like to do and be passionate about it," he says. "Do the work and be willing to work for nothing. If you're not willing to work for nothing, you're not going to succeed."
Don't get locked into golden handcuffs
Not everyone is going to have the foresight to pursue their dream when they're in their 20s, but Grant suggests if you do, take advantage of it -- and don't just take a job you feel pressured to take, whether it's for financial reasons or otherwise. "In your early 20s, you're excited about using your degree and making that big money, but a lot of the time, you get the job and then five or 10 years later, you realize you hate it," he says. "Only now you can't leave because it pays you great money that affords your lifestyle. Now you're wearing the golden handcuffs."
Instead of taking the job that will make life easier financially but isn't what you actually want, Grant suggests chasing what you're passionate about, even if you have to start in a position that doesn't pay a ton of money. "If you want to work in video game development and they're not hiring for that role, ask them if they're hiring a janitorial position, sweep up, talk to the developers, and work your way into getting hired," he says. "People like people with passion."
Be ready to jump into the deep end
Grant says oftentimes it's the commitment part of starting a small business that holds people back. "A lot of entrepreneurs tell me they're creating something, but they haven't made it their full-time job because 'they also have to work,'" he says. "That's never going to work. You can't swim with only one foot in the pool; you've got to jump in all the way."
Of course, you don't want to jump in before you know what you're jumping into. "You've got to be a risk-taker, but also a calculated risk-taker," Grant says. "Don't just quit your job to do the job. Do the research and development and get a solid business plan together and then go for it."
Learn to adapt when things don't go your way
When Grant started his business 12 years ago, he had a robust business plan. But he wasn't able to get a loan from the bank. He pulled out the few thousand dollars he had in his 401(k), knowing there wouldn't be any budget for advertising. The fancy billboards in the business plan were out; innovation and courage were in.
Grant understood the best way to get free marketing was through word of mouth, so he decided to make donuts so creative that people would want to talk and write about it. And that meant skipping traditional flavors for something more memorable, like a donut with buttercream in the middle and Oreos on top, strawberries & cream donuts, and Reese's donuts. "Those donuts are kind of blasé now," Grant says, "but back when we opened, people had never seen anything like it. They were revolutionary."
Trust that you can do the things that scare you
In the pursuit of any passion, there are going to be things that scare you. You may be scared of being judged, or failing, or just doing something that doesn't feel comfortable. The key is getting used to feeling the fear and then doing it anyway.
"When I first started my shop and I couldn't hire employees, I was a little scared to work the counter because I wasn't sure if I'd be good at it," Grant says. But in almost no time at all, he realized that not only was he good at it, he enjoyed it. "I realized I do have a knack for talking to customers and that if I was genuinely interested in someone, they'd like to tell me about themselves." He's a lot busier now, which means that he doesn't spend as much time at the counter. But, to this day, Grant still counts some of those first customers as good friends. In other words, not only will pushing your limits help you succeed professionally, it may end up enriching your personal life.

SRAM Force, Yokozuna Cables + SwissStops – Get the Best Brakes for Big Mountains
Why Good Brakes and Cables are Important
Similarly to cars, your brake (including brake cables) and tyre (and suspension) performance are probably the most critical and fundamental safety aspect of a safe bike. There are other things that are important for safety of course, but being unable to stop at 80km/h down a big mountain is pretty fundamental, I think.
So it's important you have a brake, cable and brake pad setup you can be 100% confident in.
How they Perform
My personal choice is coupling SRAM Force brakes (SRAM Red is a nice to have, but is overkill on price for most of us) with Yokozuna Reaction Cables and SwissStop brake pads. I've been using this combination for a while now, and in addition to being absolutely bulletproof, they have incredible stopping power.
The Yokozunas' stopping power is absolutely phenomenal; when coupled with SRAM Force Brakes and SwissStop pads, you're looking at a lot of stopping power.
As well as being a huge plus in criteriums, road races and bunch races as you can stop VERY quickly, they make arresting your speed whilst careening down the big mountains much easier.
No more brake fade and arm pump for you my friend, these babies will stop you with less effort than any other brake combination I've tried. These cables are *just about* compressionless which is a huge plus. If you fit these to your current brakes, you will notice a huge improvement from these cables alone.
Trust me, when you're doing 100km/h with the sheer drops of the Galibier on one side, you're going to want NASA-spec brakes – these are it.
My SwissStops have a lot of kilometers in them on mostly dry roads, but with many, many thousands of meters of high speed descending in them.
The Yokozunas I have on my bike currently, have lasted a long time. Whilst they don't have the same level of protection as Gores (more suited to all weather training and commuting), they're still good.
Fitting Them
About the only niggle I have with any of these products is the Yokozunas. They have very stiff cable housings which means they can be very tricky to fit as they have a bigger bend radius than standard cable housings. My local bike shop mechanics always battle with them. They're not impossible to fit, they just need a deft and practiced hand – my mate Craig can fit them easily.
Be aware, Yokozunas do not play nice with Shimano Ultegra 6700 and Durace 7900 and you'll have to muck around with them to get them fitted, possibly compromising their performance. Keep them happy and pair them with SRAM brakes.
Fitting brakes and brake pads is easy.
Travelling with Them
As I mention above, the Yokozunas are quite stiff. This makes packing them for an overseas trip in a bike bag like the EVOC (check out my EVOC bike bag review) quite awkward. You may need to wrangle the bars into place (lots of twisting) and could rip your bar tape (these cables are *tough*!). If you are travelling with a Scicon AeroComfort Plus though, you'll be fine, as you don't need to remove the handlebars in a Scicon AeroComfort Plus (Scicon AeroComfort Plus review, Bike Bag Shootout).
Where to Get Them
You can get all these parts at Wiggle and CRC.
For carbon rims, get the yellow pads. For commuting/training, get the black ones and for aluminium rims and high performance, get the green pads.

- SRAM Force Brakes
- SwissStop brake pads (the green ones are boss)

Author: David Towell
In adding to our Innovation Stories, there is much to be gained from exploring the rich strand of often very local work associated with what has come to be called Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD).
Let me begin with an interesting set of examples, drawn from the U.S. State of Georgia. John O'Brien has been a key partner in developing the Sustainability and Social Justice project and he is also an advisor to his home state of Georgia's Governor's Council on Developmental Disability (GCDD). The GCDD is sponsoring a set of local initiatives under the heading Real Community.
These initiatives necessarily have as one objective widening the opportunities for disabled people to exercise local citizenship alongside their fellow citizens. But the GCDD work is interesting because it starts from an asset based approach i.e. seeking to mobilise community action to meet widely shared local challenges e.g. of employment, transport, economic disadvantage, etc. and typically creates valued new 'community spaces' where people can come together to create joint responses to these challenges: for example a community garden, a church, a farmers market, etc.
The interests of disabled people are being advanced through a wider focus on community building and social justice – making the community better for everyone.
The Georgia 'Real Community' initiatives are informed by the asset based approach to community development (ABCD) most associated with the work of John McKnight, and captured in his book with Peter Block The Abundant Community (Berrett-Koehler 2010). The central theme of this work is expressed in the book's subtitle 'Awakening the Power of Family and Neighborhoods'. ABCD starts not from the deficits in communities, even the most 'deprived', but rather from recognising the abundance of assets we can find if we focus on the diverse gifts which ordinary people bring to everyday life, nurture informal association and provide hospitality including to those at risk of exclusion.
In England, recent efforts to reform social care (i.e. to improve the opportunities and support available to disabled and other people at risk of disadvantage) have drawn on a four-quadrant model, simply characterised as: early intervention and prevention; choice and control; universal services; and social capital.
Work in the social capital quadrant has encouraged attention to practical ways of strengthening communities so that disabled people and others are more included, contributing members with better access to informal support. Some of the best examples of these efforts are brought together in the book In Community (HSA Press, 2009). For example, the Time Banking idea is one way citizens can organise to both contribute their skills and exchange these for the contributions of others through a scheme in which everyone's contribution is valued equally (i.e. an hour of contributing whatever skill earns one time credit). Or to take another example, the voluntary sector organisation Grapevine in Coventry works to identify the interests and talents of individuals, for example with learning disabilities, and links these to places and activities in the community where they will be welcome and needed. Or in a slightly different way, the national organisation KeyRing promotes living support networks in which people living in their own homes, who might otherwise struggle to maintain their independence, are offered part-time help by a local volunteer to build their self-reliance, offer each other mutual support and make connections with others in their communities.
In this spirit, the Building Community Capacity stream of the national social care reform initiative Think Local Act Personal has published a set of nearly 40 case studies which point to opportunities to take these approaches further at different levels of local organisation. Some of these start from the 'place shaping' role of local government and other public agencies (for example, the case study from Wiltshire) and show how political decentralisation and co-production can be a route to building sustainable and resilient communities.
Others (for example, the case study from Camden) show how outcome-based commissioning can seek to encourage wider economic, social and environmental benefits from the provision of social services. The cases under the community development heading include the growing interest in Local Area Coordination as a route to promoting the inclusion of disadvantaged people in stronger communities. And the cases under the grass roots development heading (i.e. arising through the self-organisation of citizens) include an excellent account of U3A (The University of the Third Age) in part of Lancashire, where the informal networks created under the guise of adult learning are mobilising the often under-used talents of older people to meet locally important challenges, from countering personal isolation to reducing the local carbon footprint.
Nurture Development is a key agency in the use of ABCD (asset based community development) in Ireland and increasingly elsewhere in Europe. The original formulation of ABCD, Building Community From The Inside Out (Kreitzmann and McKnight, 1993) described in detail the importance of mapping the various kinds of assets in any community, including actual and potential physical assets, but to my mind made relatively little reference to the strengths in the local ecology and the importance of sustaining these. However, fast forward 20 years and Nurture Development both restates a six step process for community building (Find connectors; Map assets; Identify community building themes; Build connections; Match funds; Celebrate and plan) but also offers a 12 domain agenda of 'big issues' where people power will be required to tackle contemporary challenges. These domains include attention to caring for the environment, responding to climate change, developing the local economy and being mindful about the production and consumption of food.
From the perspective of our work on sustainability and social justice, these domains provide a very useful framework both for asset mapping and for identifying community building themes around which local citizens might self organise. So, for example, in the London Borough of Croydon, the Council has invested in community building posts in each ward and this has led to the emergence of a large number of citizen groups, aspiring to inclusion, and pursuing a wide variety of locally-relevant themes, including some focused on protecting and improving the urban environment and building local resilience.
All these examples start from a social justice perspective – more specifically an interest in providing the opportunities and support required to better include disabled and other disadvantaged people in stronger local communities. But they also begin to show the possibility of 'win-win' strategies on a broader canvass which include, for example, an interest in advancing sustainability, enhancing community resilience and better mobilising local human resources to pursue shared aspirations.
The Centre has published several reports on Local Area Coordination by Ralph Broad, who leads the Local Area Coordination Network in England and Wales, they are here.
The publisher is The Centre for Welfare Reform.

The Morning Chatter: Deer Friends sunrise
Spring is in the air. Can you feel it? Can you smell it?
(Just use your imagination if it is not spring!)
I could not sleep for some reason this spring morning, so I got up before the sunrise.
I do love that time of day. Everything is still. Quieter. Peaceful.
The eastern sky often has beautiful colors just before the sun begins to peek above the horizon. An early bird might be singing.
I walked to our back windows and saw 2 little deer.
Most likely sisters born last summer. I noticed the bird feeder was empty and there was no seed on the ground. That will not do!
The deer people have come to expect birdseed. Oh yes, they have! They tell me it tastes just like candy! Who am I to deny them?
I went out to our screened porch, where we keep birdseed in a tight container and choose the kind they were asking for. I carried the full bag into the house and then out through the garage. I turned the corner of the screened porch and saw that the little girls were still there and then…
Evidently the word spread fast!
At first 2 more deer appeared, then 6 and eventually 8! I stood there for a moment connecting with each of them individually and then as a group.
I asked their permission to come into the yard. I instantly felt a YES!
As I walked toward the bird feeder, carrying the brand-new bag of birdseed, some of the braver little ones came really close.
I had to ask them to please back up so I could fill the feeder and then place some for them on the ground.
They backed up for a moment, and some of the youngsters scampered like little excited goofballs. I could not help but crack up and laugh out loud.
The sun was rising higher but still blocked by the house directly behind us.
They did not seem to be frightened by our noisy heat pump that was chugging away trying to heat our house up on this chilly morning. Airplanes from Dulles International Airport began to take off and fly overhead from time to time. I guess they have adapted to the noise from the low flying planes.
A flock of Canada Geese were calling out above the sound of the airplanes but were not close enough to see.
Other birds began to sing and sing and sing. They must have been singing the sun to rise.
I invite you to join me for a few moments to BE with the deer family. Yes, I really was that close to them.
*Do stick around until the end of the video, where the 2 little girls stay behind as the rest of the herd moved on and we greeted the sunrise together.
Please enjoy this edition of the Morning Chatter: Deer Friends @ Sunrise.

Cross-country races boosting sales, new products
Cross-country ski manufacturers hit the floor at Winter Market with plenty of new products that celebrate the diversity of the sport. From classic to skate to off-trail backcountry skiing, brands are introducing a number of new boots and skis aimed at striding into a particular Nordic niche.
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
Throughout the month of February, SNEWS will recap its coverage of Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2012 with select stories from the O.R. Daily we published at the show Jan. 19-22. It's an opportunity for you to catch up on stories you might have missed in O.R.D., and for us to update and upload the articles to our searchable archives.
Cross-country ski manufacturers hit the floor at Winter Market with plenty of new products that celebrate the diversity of the sport. From classic to skate to off-trail backcountry skiing, brands are introducing a number of new boots and skis aimed at striding into a particular Nordic niche.
"Classic racing is growing by huge percentages every year. More and more citizen racers are entering classic events than ever before," said Rick Halling, Nordic product director at Atomic. Halling said Atomic's new Worldcup Classic SDS ski (MSRP $650), which is designed with a carbon laminate to provide acceleration in the glide phase as well as a lively kick, is meant to be "a highly competitive ski for the elite racers while also remaining forgiving and easy for skiers further back in the pack." Atomic also introduced two new boots for the competitive market, in the Worldcup Skate (MSRP $480), and the Worldcup Classic (MSRP $370), both of which feature the brand's Enveloping Lacing System for control and fit.
Fischer Skis, which unveils new products in almost every category, introduces two new race boots for women in the RCS Carbonlite Skating WS, and the RCS Carbonlite Classic WS. The company saw 20 percent growth of its Nordic gear preseason orders for 2011/12, said Peter Ashley, vice president of Fischer's U.S. Nordic division. Those gains came not only in racing but also in Fischer's new Offtrack line of skis, built for ungroomed terrain. For 2012/13, the company will bring new Offtrack boots to complement the skis, including the 5 and 3 BC My Style boots for women, and the Offtrack BC 5 for men. They all feature NNN binding soles, an integrated gaiter for deeper snow and the brand's Easy Entry Loops to make the boot simple to put on. The Offtrack category also expands with new skis, including the E99 Crown and E89 Crown getting the Offtrack pattern base treatment, which claims increased grip while maintaining slide.
Back to the racing category, Rossignol introduces new classic race skis in the 5 and 3 BC My Style, which have a new camber profile to provide more consistent camber regulation for a responsive kick (and is available in powder, klister or universal flexes), as well as new X-ium skate and X-ium classic boots, both of which have a new sole and graphics.
And going multifunctional, Rossignol debuts the X5 OT boot. It's built on a cross-country touring boot last but with more rugged backcountry features for both durability and versatility. "This boot ties in nicely with (cross-country) touring skis and light BC skis, giving shops an option to have a boot on the wall that can work for many types of skiers," said Ryan Green, Nordic division manager for Rossignol.
Isaac Wilson, Nordic category manager at Salomon, said this is a classic category year for the brand, with an entire new line of Classic Skis featuring re-engineered cambers designed to make them faster and easier to kick. He said Salomon invested in a new ski press that allows for much smaller tolerances for camber adjustments, along with plans to design a cleaner and easier to understand consumer and retail selection process.
"Nordic in general seems to be on the upswing," Wilson said. "We have had really strong growth on our race product, to the point we are having trouble keeping up. In the northern climates we are seeing a real influx of cyclists looking to stay fit. These athletes are used to really good equipment, so stability and energy have been a strong focus in our performance line to try and capture that market."
At Alpina, the story is in its Action Group, where the brand is encouraging people to "Get Out of the Ordinary" through colorful product it hopes will help retailers when it pops on the shelf.
"We want to completely differentiate Alpina from its competitors, and also take what has been traditionally a conservative product and perhaps sport and simply have fun with it," said Jason Stadler, project manager at Alpina Sports. Covering everything from classic to skate to touring, the boot, ski and binding combinations come in eye-popping lime, red and blue, with features such as lightweight air channel construction in the skis and optimal side stability in the boots.

Joe Morton is one of the stars helping to bring to life Ta-Nehisi Coates' award-winning 2015 New York Times bestseller Between the World and Me, which has been adapted into an HBO special.
The film, which also features appearances by Mahershala Ali, Angela Bassett and Oprah Winfrey, follows a father's letter to his adolescent son about his experiences growing up Black in Baltimore and the affects of white supremacy in America. Filmed during the pandemic, Morton tells ABC Audio that there were many safeguards in place to ensure everyone's well-being.
"Many of the actors used their own homes, I'm being one of them, as locations," he says.
"So about six o'clock in the morning a truck pulls up, a bunch of people get out all wearing hazmat suits and masks and shields," Morton recalls. "And they literally went around our house and they cleaned up… just before time for shooting… We even had a gentleman who was the COVID wrangler… to make sure that we followed all the guidelines."
Although isolated from each other, Morton says Between the World and Me unified the cast by sparking a much-needed conversation about "Black and white."
"Meaning for Black folks, we shouldn't look at slavery as some monolithic group of people who were hurt in some way," he says. "That's true, but we have to remember they were individuals… They weren't just this mass of people."
"And I think that's an important statement to make, because we often do that with each other," Morton continues. "All those white folks, all those Black folks, and we don't talk… we don't talk to one another. And so the problem exists and continues to exist."
Between the World and Me premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on HBO.

Video games have changed over the years, we've seen new technical and graphical enhances as each console platform hits the market. However, the biggest change up this generation that's leading up to the next generation is digital releases. There are more video game titles launching that never see a physical release and now there's a push to get players into a premium streaming service such as Google Stadia and the Apple Arcade.
As a result, the old brick-and-mortar store locations of GameStop have been receiving a steady decline. While GameStop has been on a decline for a while now, a new statement has come out from an earnings call alerting the world that the chain of gaming shops will be seeing a number of closures.
Years ago, GameStop was one of the key locations to get your video game titles both new and used. However, today there's a few locations that I've personally seen which seems to offer less video game titles and instead prove a plethora of trinkets and toys. Again, as we mentioned earlier, the store has been hit with some issues lately. With the digital age being more prominent with gamers and the fact that there are several other sources where you can purchase video game titles, GameStop has plenty of competition.
During a conference call this month, it was alerted that GameStop has plans of shutting down 200 hundred poor performing store locations this year. More will likely follow afterward that may make a dent from the nearly 6,000 stores established today.
This is not the only loss recently from GameStop as the lack of business and sales even caused several staff writers from their magazine division, Game Informer, to be fired off. All of this seems to be a move to make GameStop a more profitable company once again, but only time will tell if this will have a positive effect or not.

What is a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
A veterinary hospital manager oversees the business operations of the hospital, including staff relations, client satisfaction, profitability and the hiring and firing of personnel. The manager is responsible for the over-all organization of the hospital, but not for the medical decisions, which are left to the veterinarians.
The manager sees to it that the hospital runs smoothly and efficiently and that the employee morale stays as high as possible. The manager must also ensure that the staff and hospital aren't breaking any laws, including safety regulations and potential veterinary malpractice issues.
In most cases, the hospital manager only answers to the owner and/or Board of Directors. The manager must make regular accounts to these superiors, keeping them abreast of all aspects of the hospital, including the finances.
What are the Job Duties of a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
At smaller hospitals in particular, hospital managers might be asked to perform some veterinary technician abilities, possibly even helping with surgery at times. In larger hospitals, managers have little or nothing to do with vet tech duties, except while training vet techs.
Here are some common duties of hospital managers:
- Scheduling employee work hours
- Calling and over-seeing meetings
- Hiring, firing, and training staff
- Controlling and improvement staff morale
- Developing employee manuals
- Advertising and marketing the hospital
- Maintaining patients' records
- Maintaining and regulating hospital safety protocols
- Administering regular performance reviews
- Mediating personnel problems
- Managing hospital costs and budgets
- Coordinating educational programs for staff and public
- Preparing financial statements
- Overseeing client follow-up procedures
- Performing invoice audit reviews
- Educating employees on benefit plans and medical protocols
- Managing inventory and supplies
- Monitoring vital signs of patients
What is the Work Environment for a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
Though the hospital manager doesn't normally spend a lot of time around the sick and injured animals, the manager's environment can be stressful.
The manager spends a lot of time in an office, dealing with angry clients, hassling with insurance companies on the phone, listening to staff complaints, resolving employee disputes and dealing with government bureaucracies.
What are the Requirements to Become a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
Some jobs in veterinary hospital management only require an associate degree, though most employers strongly prefer a bachelor's degree. Some candidates get an associate's degree and then take an intensive course in hospital management, though some of these management programs require a bachelor's degree as a prerequisite.
Presently, no schools offer bachelor's degrees in veterinary hospital management, so many candidates get a bachelor's degree in veterinary technology. A bachelor's degree in business is also an acceptable degree.
Many employers require their managerial candidates to have up to five years of experience in a veterinary hospital. Because of this, some managerial candidates opt to initially only get an associate degree and then start working as a veterinary technician while taking classes online or at night. This way, the candidate receives a paycheck and gains experience in a veterinary hospital while also pursuing a bachelor's degree.
The aim of veterinary technology programs is to prepare students to become an immediate contributor to a veterinarian team by giving them the necessary skills and veterinary knowledge. A bachelor's degree program for veterinary technology may include courses like the following:
- Critical and Emergency Care
- Veterinary Dentistry
- Neurology
- Cardiology
- Dermatology
- Animal Sanitation and Disease Prevention
- Specialty Careers of Veterinary Technicians
- Comparative Pharmacology and Hematology
- Veterinary Medical Terminology
- Canine Physical Therapy
- Veterinary Clinical Chemistry
- Fundamentals of Emergency Animal Care
- Clinical Veterinary Neurology
- Principles of Toxicology
- Ethics in Veterinary Business
- Veterinary Cytology
- Small Animal Physical Rehabilitation
There are a handful of master's degree programs available for veterinary hospital managers. There are two types: one geared toward those who just want to be a hospital manager, and one geared toward veterinarians who want to manage their own business.
Related: How to Become a Veterinary Assistant
A typical master's degree program for hospital management might include the following classes:
Hiring and Firing
- Checking References
- Advertising for Employee Positions
- Conducting Interviews
- Deciding which Applicant to Hire
- Firing
Employee Relations
- Disciplining Employees
- Leadership in the Hospital
- The Importance of Appearance
- Communicating and Delegating
- Training the Hospital Staff
Client Relations
- Educating Clients
- Measuring Client Satisfaction
- Grief Protocol
- Using Websites, Signs and Yellow Pages to Attract New Clients
- Inventory: Pricing Products
- Inventory: Inventory Systems
- Inventory: Re-ordering and Filing Invoices
- Developing Leadership Abilities
- Making Employee Manuals
- Reviewing Employee Performance
- Developing Employee Schedules
- Law and Ethics in Management
- Supervision in the Veterinary Hospital
Financial Planning
- Human Resources
- Money and Inventory
- Strategic Financial Planning
- Tactical Financial Planning
- Understanding Balance Sheets
- Understanding Income Statements
- Understanding Expenses
- Understanding Financials
Hospital management jobs almost always require experience in working in a hospital office, and they usually also require some type of supervisory experience. Good computer skills are a necessity, particularly in Excel, Word and any type of management software.
Many job posts also require some type of previous customer service experience, and some require book-keeping experience. Experience as a vet tech is preferred by many employers.
Licensing Requirements
Certification by the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA) is a voluntary but highly recommended process; most employers require or prefer it.
For certification, the VMHA requires 18 semester hours in at least two of the following areas:
- Accounting
- Marketing
- Management
- Economics/finance
- Computer science
- Labor relations/human resources
The VMHA requires at least three years of active employment as a hospital manager within the past seven years. The VMHA specifies thirty particular job functions for managers, and candidates must have performed at least twenty-six of them or have supervised others who performed those jobs. Some of these jobs include:
- Education of clients
- Training of staff
- Payroll
- Employee records
- Inventory records
- Safety protocols
- Medical records
- Accounts receivable
- Accounts payable
- Income reconciliation
- Credit policies
- Budgeting
- Community involvement
Candidates must also pass an exam, provide college transcripts and supply four letters of recommendation. They are also required to have taken 48 college semester hours of continuing education in management classes within the previous seven years.
What Skills and Qualities are Required for a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
Recommended or required personal skills and personality traits include:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills suitable for a wide range of settings and audiences
- Decisive decision-making
- Ability to delegate responsibility
- Professional demeanor and friendly disposition
- Respect toward clients and their pets
- Multi-tasking ability
- Contagious enthusiasm for the job
- Passion for leadership
- Organizational ability
- Interpersonal skills
- Ability to coach employees
What is the Salary for a Veterinary Hospital Manager?
As of January 2023, according to ZipRecruiter, the average salary for veterinary hospital managers is $71,912.
What is the Job Outlook for Veterinary Hospital Managers?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not provide job outlook data specific to this field of work. However, a closely related occupation, administrative services manager, is projected to grow at a rate of 6 percent through the first half of the next decade. This rate represents only average growth.
One of the primary factors in determining the job outlook for veterinary hospital managers is the state of the overall economy. In lean times, families are less likely to purchase pets, and, therefore, have no reason to patronize a veterinary hospital, causing staff cuts. These cuts usually begin with the administrative staff.
Conversely, now that the economy is back on its feet, more individuals and families are acquiring pets that will need veterinary services. As businesses grow, so too does the demand for qualified veterinary hospital managers.
However, with increased demand comes increased competition for jobs, so while the outlook for jobs in this sector appears to be strong, there may be more people applying for these jobs than there are jobs available.

RDR is a big topic for the papers, I can easily get hung up around what they say and how it doesn't seem to paint a full picture, or I could focus on the challenges we are facing.
I am in favour of RDR as a concept; however the real underlying problem is that of getting people to engage with their money. Whether this is through an adviser, or whether going direct and doing it yourself. In the next two blogs I want to explore firstly the changing face of retirement and then I want to look at the Gender Directive for Pensions and Annuities.
One area I keep focusing on is financial education. Some of us may be lucky and have what was called a final salary pension scheme. This effectively provided us with a guaranteed pension based on the years of service we did and the earnings we received. So say I was earning £10,000 when I retired and worked for 40 years I might get 50% of that as a pension for life.
The responsibility for that rested with the employer, and in some cases still does. The problem is that these schemes are too expensive to run. There are a number of factors behind this but life expectancy has to be a crucial element to this. We are living longer and it means to provide any guaranteed income in retirement is expensive for the employer.
So we are now seeing a shift to a position where the individual and not the company takes responsibility for ensuring they have sufficient income in retirement. The problem you have as is highlighted by many articles on RDR is that those just starting out are being priced out of the advised market. So what I mean is someone wanting to get advice on where to start has no-one to turn to.
This heightens a growing fear about what will happen when we reach retirement. Not immediately but for many who spend years saving to buy a house, then having children and then eventually considering retirement feel they are too late to do anything and can find no-one to help.
A recent survey indicated that 67% of those surveyed felt that their workplace pension was central to providing their income in retirement. However, longevity, low interest rates and other factors have driven down annuity rates so we need to save more to get what we want. In fact this survey indicates that very few individuals expect to use non-retirement plan assets to fund retirement.
So we are starting to get a divide where people are still holding onto the idea that the employer will provide when in reality the individual needs to accept this responsibility.
We have seen auto-enrolment and NEST. I did a lot of research into this and perhaps it has changed but there were a number of areas that concerned me. Firstly the funds were limited to one provider and a smaller number of tracker funds, secondly the pension was not portable, thirdly the contribution limits had a ceiling and finally there was no advice.
Where is this leading we are coming into a generation of new retirement saving, which includes volatility in the world of investments, no risk-free investments and now limited access to advice. The crucial point is that young people are not engaging with retirement planning because they have other priorities and actually by not engaging this will have a huge impact on the type of retirement they can expect to enjoy.
Whilst journalists have a field day at how nasty financial advisers are they are missing a time bomb. The need to help individuals in financial planning and in fact a responsibility to take this on; we live in a new era which people have not accepted. RDR is good for a number of reasons, it fully discloses fees and it makes a more professional industry however there is a danger that it provides no scope to give advice or information to those starting out who really need it.
And of course providing in retirement is not just about using a pension, you could have a buy-to-let property, you could use tax free income from an ISA, you could use CGT allowances etc.
So where do we go – I am convinced that someone will develop a structure to provide low end advice, however we also need to develop an un-bias information portal which provides all forms of financial education from basic budgeting to goal setting. Journalists and other interested parties should help to promote this and together we can start to fill the gap that is being left.

How many kinds of Cosmetic Machinery are there?
Cosmetic machinery is a necessity for a cosmetics factory. There are many types of them, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all used in the production of cosmetics. Including vacuum emulsifiers, liquid filling machines, paste filling machines, perfume-making machines, perfume freezers, lipstick production lines, pressed powder production lines, etc. ; ;
A vacuum emulsifier refers to the mechanical equipment that stirs and shears the material and finally achieves the emulsification effect. It is the leading equipment and core machine of a cosmetics factory and the lifeblood of a cosmetics enterprise. It is mainly used in the production of creams, lotions, essences, hand creams, skin creams, body lotions, facial cleansers, and other products. In addition, vacuum emulsifiers can also be applied to daily chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It can be regarded as multi-functional cosmetic machinery and equipment. It is also an entry choice for a cosmetics company.
A liquid filling machine refers to cosmetic machinery and equipment for filling, sealing, and packaging liquid cosmetics. The machine has several filling heads to infuse liquid cosmetics into bottles and other packaging materials through hoses. Some liquid filling machines are equipped with a tail sealing machine, which will seal the bottom immediately after filling and implement one-stop production of cosmetic machinery and equipment.
The perfume-making machine and the perfume refrigerator are used for perfume production, which can mix, stir, freeze and filter perfume. The volume of the perfume machine is relatively small compared to the vacuum emulsifier mixer.
Medical device manufacturing: Best practices, applications, and regulations
The term medical device covers an extensive range of applications from tongue depressors and latex gloves to x-ray machines and further to custom hearing aids and biomedical implanted devices such as heart valves. Traditional manufacturing processes including CNC machining and injection molding are typically used for the many existing medical devices such as prosthetics, surgical tools, and general equipment/tools used by medical professionals.
The field of Medical Products Making machines ;is rapidly growing and, given the advantages offered by additive manufacturing – highly customizable geometry, low cost, and a wide variety of possible materials – these processes are well suited to fill the demand for the emerging needs of medical device manufacturing.
Processes used to manufacture medical devices
Whether additive manufacturing or traditional manufacturing processes is the best solution for medical devices depends on a number of factors including overall schedule and application. ;
In general, traditional manufacturing processes such as CNC machining or injection molding are best suited for higher volume parts because of the higher start-up costs and longer lead times for tooling. Additive manufacturing is better suited for unique or low-volume parts as well as prototypes or proof-of-concept designs.
Applications for Medical Products Making Machine
There's a wide range of applications for Medical Products Making Machine given the broad category of products classified as medical devices – from tongue depressors and latex gloves to x-ray machines and further to custom hearing aids and biomedical implanted devices such as heart valves. ;

A report published by BloombergNEF for the COP26 climate change summit has listed global commitments by cities, states, provinces and nations to end the sale of new fossil-fueled vehicles but, with 2035 estimated as the cut-off date for zero-emission roads by mid century, policymakers need to be more ambitious.
The $800 million of private backing secured by Californian residential solar finance business GoodLeap helped the sector achieve VC and private equity funding of $1.6 billion in the first six months of the year, up from just $210 million a year earlier.
Scientists in the United States developed a new anode for aqueous batteries. A working battery utilizing this anode, with seawater as an electrolyte, demonstrated impressive energy density, and remained stable after 1,000 hours of high current cycling. The group is already discussing the potential of their approach in large-scale manufacturing.
A technique proposed by scientists in the United Stated could raise solar plant output 5% and decrease panel degradation by more than 0.3% per year, according to the researchers. The approach is based on wind direction and speed, and module inclination.
With sun the common component of solar energy production and agriculture, a new company in northern New South Wales is set to combine the benefits of sowing PV and forage crops in the same soil.
Three different retail electricity providers in the United States have announced new programs to provide customers the option to buy 100% renewably sourced electricity, with one of the three even coming at no additional cost.
A U.S. research team has found the most efficient locations for agrivoltaics include western America, southern Africa and the Middle East. The researchers found crop land, grasslands and wetlands were the best environments for PV projects linked to agriculture. Conditions suitable for crops are ideal for improving solar module efficiency.
The company has given WARN Act notices to all of its employees, and says that it is trying to determine the right size going forward.
Today, SolarWorld AG filed for insolvency in Germany, and it is unclear whether or not its U.S. subsidiary will also file. In the following interview, Mercom Capital CEO Raj Prabhu talks about what this means for the U.S. solar industry.

Today, a growing number of men and women are turning to Botox® to reduce the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles. At Asira Medical in Yorktown Heights, New York, you can receive convenient Botox treatments from a board-certified physician.
Dr. Monica Grover offers personalized consultations and can assist you in achieving your skin care goals. To learn more about Botox or other cosmetic treatments available, call today or book an appointment online.
Botox is an injectable serum used for a variety of medical and cosmetic purposes. The serum blocks specific chemical signals and forces the muscles around the injection site to relax.
Botox procedures are sometimes used to treat medical problems like migraine headaches or muscle spasms. However, they can also reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. Because Botox prevents muscles from contracting, the serum can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
At Asira Medical, you'll begin by meeting with Dr. Grover for a consultation. During the consultation, Dr. Grover examines your skin and reviews your medical history. She may ask you what results you're looking for and explain how Botox can help.
You can receive Botox procedures right in the office. During the procedure, Dr. Grover uses a fine needle to inject the serum directly into the skin around your eyes, nose, or mouth. The injections take just a few minutes to perform.
After the procedure, you may experience slight redness or swelling. These side effects usually disappear after a few hours. Dr. Grover will explain how to care for your skin in the days following a Botox injection.
While individual results may vary, many patients notice an immediate improvement. Full results usually appear within one to two weeks.
The effects of Botox injections often last between four and six months. After that, you may need another injection to maintain your results.
Many people feel nervous about Botox procedures, but Botox is a safe, effective method for treating wrinkles and fine lines. When Botox injections are performed in a sanitary medical setting, the risk of complications is very low. It's essential to receive your Botox injections from a qualified medical professional like Dr. Grover.
Complications can arise if your Botox injections are performed by a provider without medical training, or if your Botox serum isn't purchased from a reputable source. Fortunately, Dr. Grover is a board-certified physician, and she uses the highest quality materials in her practice.
To learn more about whether Botox is right for you, call Dr. Grover today or schedule an appointment online.
I was a little annoyed with the nearly hour-long wait, but Dr. Grover immediately apologized and explained that they have someone new on staff and had been running behind all day. We discussed my current health as well as family health history in her office before going to the examining room. The appointment itself was fast (not *too* fast– just efficient), and Dr. Grover made me feel very welcome and comfortable, as did the admins working in the office.
Dr.Grover was really nice and inviting. Going to the doctor may be nerve wrecking however she makes you feel calm. She explains everything she is going to do before she does it to put your mind at ease. I will definitely be going back to her.
She was awesome. 1st time I enjoyed going to get a pap! Haha. Highly recommend her!
