A flurry of announcements this week suggests the promise of hydrogen cells extending drone flight time to two hours or more may come within reach to individual as well as enterprise users before too long.
Doosan leads the (expensive) hydrogen way
The mix of news reflects advances in hydrogen cell power development that, for now, is too young and expensive for any but specialized business operators to consider. Drones powered by the technology are listed anywhere from $2,200 to $3,800 – on the rare occasions prices are indicated, that is. Larger producers probably charge more.
In exchange, however, owners get three times the life of LiPo batteries of the same weight. That is, two hours or more time aloft. Hydrogen cells also have the appeal of being ecologically friendly compared to standard technologies.
But the cost limits the economic rational of hydrogen cells largely to companies running mapping, inspection, or security operations in industrial, agricultural,…

Bornean Orangutan
The Bornean orangutan is found in the rainforest on the islands of Borneo. The Bornean orangutan and the Sumatran orangutan are the only two ape species found on the Asian continent. It is a large ape with long, red hair and long arms. Adults can grow up to five feet tall. Males are twice as large as females, weighing up to 220 lbs, and females weigh only up to 110 lbs. When fully grown, their arms can reach up to eight feet, enabling them to move through the trees with ease. Although their arms are long and strong, their legs and feet are short and weak. Males have cheek pads made up of fat, and they continue to grow as they get older. Since their cheeks are much larger than females, males are able to make louder, roaring noises. Orangutans also have large brains and are very intelligent. They are known to use small twigs as tools to obtain and hold food while moving through the trees.
Orangutans are found in humid jungles, and much of their time is spent in the trees. At night they build nests high up in the trees and some even include a roof. Adults prefer to live alone and will only come together to mate. Females may occasionally group in twos. Males prefer to avoid confrontation or moving into territories of other males, so they make loud calls to keep track of the whereabouts of others. They can eat a large amount of food each day, feeding mainly on fruits such as mangoes, figs, jackfruits, lychees, durians, and rambutans. They will occasionally eat insects, leaves, tree bark, and eggs and small vertebrates. Mating occurs year round, and females give birth to only one young after a gestation period of 260 to 270 days.
Bornean orangutans are classified as highly endangered (population 50,000). Causes of decline include loss of habitat due to logging, mining, and forest fires and poaching. Many babies are often caught and sold into the pet trade, and the trappers usually kill the mother in order to steal the baby. Although this species is legally protected, poaching still remains a problem. The orangutan is found in several national parks, and the governments of Singapore and Hong Kong have prohibited the import and export of orangutans.

The general consensus amongst economists and property specialists is that the housing market is yet to reach its price floor. Prices have fallen by 40-50% across the country and are expected to fall by c.60% by the time they are fully unwound. There has been some speculation that the market might recover quite quickly, especially in the cities, with population growth cited as the prime factor to drive such a turnaround. The hope is that Ireland might mirror the reasonably rapid recovery of the mid-1990s Finnish property crash, rather than the stagnation of the Japanese crash from the late 1980s wherein present property prices are still below those twenty years ago. My own view is that the Irish crash will be nearer to Japan's experience than Finland, with property prices unlikely to rise to peak 2007 prices for at least another ten to fifteen years, and longer for some parts of the country. There are six reasons why. (link to article in Ireland After NAMA)

Holidays, Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, Happy Spring, Happy Everything!
Tulips are one of the universal signs of spring so I thought I'd show you an easy way to paint them~
You can have flowers blooming all the time
on a bowl
on a window sill
on a stemmed glass
Easy Peasy
Start with a fat brush and two or three colors. Experiment to find the combo you like~ I used pink, red and yellow. Dip your brush in each color
Top left: begin petal at base and make a curved stroke, finishing in a point. Reload brush with more paint and make a second stroke in the same manner. For the third stroke, begin at the base and then curve in the opposite direction finishing again in a point, top right
Bottom left: add one more stroke if you like, but I generally keep my tulips to 3 strokes, bottom right
For the blooms below I added white~see how each one has a color variation?
Add stems; Load brush with yellow and green [ I like pine green or sap green for plants]
Start with tip of brush at the base of the tulip bloom and stroke downward in a slight curve, letting the stroke widen at the bottom
Reload brush and now start at the bottom, using a wide stroke, curving slightly and turning as it goes up, and finish with a point, see above center
Reload brush and add another leaf on the opposite side of the stem
These tulips were done with red and pink, pink and white, yellow and white, white and cream, red and yellow
Experiment with color combinations~ the key is loading the brush [dipping in paint] in several colors and letting the colors mix on the surface as you paint. Fast is best. Quick strokes, don't over work it
When you paint on a slick surface like glass or ceramic, you can quickly rinse the paint off if you don't like it or use a paint remover like Goof Off, to remove it after it dries.
Have a joy filled day!
Bloom where you're planted and plant blooms where you are!
I will be joining the fabulous parties and blogs on my side bar and
Comments23 Responses to "Holidays, Happy Easter!"
Oh my gosh! I love all the painting on glass! I am going to try this, thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing on Something to Talk About! Pinning!
Oh my this is beautiful and you are so talented…I love, love it!
Thanks for sharing.

Solar panel install on our RV
We're between coming off a J-O-B in Seattle and hitting the road.
We figured it's probably a good idea to take the time to make some upgrades on PB.
Solar power was a big part of our energy plan on our sailboat down in the Sea of Cortez, so it only makes sense we take advantage of the affordable ways solar systems provide electricity. Once I did the math and saw how little it cost to buy all the parts we needed, it was a no-brainer. Having dealt with, troubleshooted, installed, and maintained these types of systems at sea, we already had the tools and knowledge to do the work ourselves. Your mileage may vary if you've never done this before. I'd at least suggest enlisting the help of a friend who has if you're feeling like taking on the install yourself.
The solar equipment:
We got every item we needed from Amazon, delivered to our doorstep. Some things arrived the same day we ordered them (no trips to the store)! When all tallied, we couldn't believe that the ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS UNDER $1,000. Make that $927 to be more precise. And we have extra cable and connectors left over as spares!
4 x HQST 100W Monocrystalline Solar Panels
1 x Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Controller 100V | 50 Amp (has Bluetooth built in, so we didn't have to buy extra parts to monitor solar status...it's all viewed on our phone!)
4 x HQST z-Mounting Bracket Sets
4 x MC4 Solar Branch Connectors
1 x Dicor Lap Sealant Tube 10oz
1 x 30-foot Roll of Butyl Putty Tape
2 x 3-foot MC4 Connector 10GA Extension Cables (1 red + 1 black)
2 x 5-foot MC4 Connector 10GA Extension Cables (1 red + 1 black)
2 x 10-foot MC4 Connector 10GA Cables (1 red + 1 black)
2 x 20-foot MC4 Connector 10GA Extension Cables (1 red + 1 black)
1 x MC4 Crimp/Connector Tool (ended up not needing this, but will be handy to have around if we want to make our own MC4 wire)
2 x 15-feet Flexible Copper Battery Cable 6GA (1 red + 1 black)
10 x Copper 6GA Battery Ring Connectors (only needed 2, but these are always handy to have)
The solar install:
We didn't get all of the parts at once. The major components were ordered first; just about everything but wire and some connectors. We wanted to lay everything out and be sure where it was going before ordering the cable lengths we needed.
Before installing anything:
We set up everything closer to the ground in the back of our truck bed to test each panel independently and then in series/parallel with a test meter to make sure all the components worked. Even sat the controller in the battery compartment of the RV and wired it up to test every part of the system. Once we knew everything worked, it was all moved to the roof of the motorhome.
Putting holes in our roof:
The scariest part of installing ANYTHING on the roof of an RV is the fact we'll be drilling holes into the only thing keeping the rain and other weather out of our home.
The EPDM roofing on PB is showing it's age and needs to be replaced soon. But we're definitely not doing that here in Seattle...it could rain at any time! That job is being planned for a future date when we can replace the entire roof covering under the protection of covered storage.
The z-brackets came with self-tapping screws that were 2" long. We'd place a strip of butyl putty tape between the bracket and the roof, dab on the Dicor lap sealant where the crew goes through the bracket and run the screw through slowly. There was one screw where I think we didn't get a really great bite, but every other one of the 32 screws tightened up, queezing butyl sealant out from under the bracket...exactly what we want.
Wiring it up:
The panels are wired in series/parallel. Each group of two panels are wired in series, creating 24v sections from two 12v panels. Then each pair is wired in parallel to increase the amperage for each pair added. Going up to 24v instead of staying at 12v will give us less voltage drop over the longer runs, and increase the panels we can use before we reach either the maximum amperage or voltage ratings for the Victron Solar Controller. We can add more 100W pairs later and installed the current panels in locations that would give us the space to do exactly this if we want to later without moving any part of the current installation.
The MPPT Solar Controller:
This particular controller has Bluetooth enabled out of the box. While we would normally need to buy and install a separate display unit to see any specs on the solar controller (watts, voltage, amps, errors, etc.) we don't have to do that here. The app on our phone shows us exactly what's going on with the system. It's a little finnicky (especially when firmware upgrades need to happen) but if we're close in or next to the RV, we can see what is going on within seconds. It even tracks the solar history and allows us to change the settings of the controller for equlization stages, etc.

On February 3, 2009, the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals issued a decision styled Rich's Department Stores, Inc. v. Wilkins, Case No. 2005-T-1609, which addressed the valuation of inventory for personal property tax purposes. Of special interest to retailers, the BTA's decision generally supported use of the "Retail Inventory Method" of accounting ("RIM") to determine the value of inventory to be reported for personal property tax purposes.
Although the Ohio personal property tax phased out of existence last year, this decision may still have relevance for a number of taxpayers. First, to the extent any taxpayer has not been applying RIM in calculating inventory value, there is a potential refund opportunity for open years. While many taxpayers likely have applied RIM accounting, the ability to use this methodology in valuing inventory may have been overlooked by some given that it is not expressly referenced in the relevant Ohio administrative code provision -- O.A.C. 5703-3-17 -- as a permissible adjustment to inventory value.
Second, as the case highlights, the Ohio Department of Taxation on audit has been taking an aggressive position in denying downward adjustments to inventory values under RIM accounting principles. In Rich's the Department disputed the taxpayer's manner of adjusting its inventory value, which was accomplished through securing credits from vendors. Such credits, which the taxpayer requested in order to maintain margin performance on sales of the vendors' products, were used to reduce the taxpayer's accounts payable balance with respect to such vendors. To account for such credits, and reflect a corresponding increase in margin performance, the taxpayer effectively recorded a reduction to its cost of goods sold.
The Department asserted that such adjustments were reductions to inventory book value not expressly authorized under O.A.C. 5703-3-17 in determining inventory value. The BTA rejected this argument on the basis that the RIM adjustments are reflected in the cost of the taxpayer's inventory, as opposed to being an adjustment to book value. In other words, amounts received from a vendor are properly viewed as a reduction of the price of the vendor's product and, therefore, a reduction of its customer's cost of sales.
In light of the foregoing, while the tax has phased-out, you may consider reviewing your Ohio personal property returns for open tax years to determine whether your company has taken advantage of the lower inventory values allowed under Rule 5703 3 17 (cash discounts and net markdowns) and the attached case (RIM and vendor allowances). For those under audit, the BTA's decision in Rich's may provide additional assistance for you in defending your return position. The Department of Taxation has until March 5 to appeal this determination.

Pear Tarte Tatin.
A gorgeous way to use up spare pears and everyone will enjoy their sweet and sticky flavour.
8 British Conference Pears, peeled, cored and cut in half lengthways
100g caster sugar
100g butter
2 star anise
3 cardamom pods
1 large cinnamon stick
2 tbsp brandy
A 500g block all-butter puff pastry
Put the sugar, butter and spices into an ovenproof frying pan, about 20cm wide, place on a high heat until bubbling. Stir the sauce until it separates and the sugar caramelises into a toffee colour.
Lay the pears in the pan flat side down and cook in the sauce for 10 minutes and cover with sauce until completely caramelised. Put the brandy in the pan and heat for a few seconds then set the pears aside to cool slightly.
Heat your oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Roll the pastry to be 3mm thick and with a round plate slightly larger than the top of the pan, cut out a circle.
Put the pears back into the pan and arrange with the flat side up with the pears around the edge pointing inwards.
Drape the pastry over the pears and tuck the edges into the pan sides. With a fork pierce the pastry a few times, then bake for 15 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and bake for another 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Leave to stand for 10 minutes before placing a plate over the top and flipping the pan over to reveal the tart fruit side up. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.

The inspiration for the album name comes from a line that is repeated in the title track Frozen River. The song is written about our great country the United States of America, and it's struggles to keep its' relevance in a time where political correctness, political corruption, and an entitlement-mentality have swept the nation, a time where special-interest groups have successfully lobbied the politicians, as well as the people, to believe that freedom means that anything goes, and even worse, that freedom is free. The song paints the picture of a time where the dreams of this great land are gone, referring to the Statue of Liberty as the lonely lady, surrounded by the frozen river, which is congress & government. Politicians are likened to white knights living in their castles, who never tell lies. The country is compared to ancient Rome, and the people as sheep being held in a zoo…or led to slaughter.
The second track on the album, All Over Now, was also written about our country. This song uses the metaphor of a relationship such as boyfriend/girlfriend to say to our government, "You don't know me anymore" and "Baby, it's all over now". In the chorus, the lyric "Your statue is tarnished and your flames' burnt out" is also a reference to the Statue of Liberty.
The only cover-song on the record is a modernized version of Bread's early-70's hit Mother Freedom, with its' classic David Gates lyrics, "Freedom…keep tryin'. People stay alive and people keep dyin' for Freedom…so don't lose it. Ya' gotta' understand, ya' just can't abuse it", as well as other great lyrics that, although written over 40 years ago, still apply today. Other songs such as "What's the Difference?" serve double-meaning as politics as well as relationship, and the 9-minute anthem "My Song/On My Way" states; "They come from far an' wide to gather here in this great land…to live the dream, to live the life, and live it hand-in-hand", and begs the answer to "Why can't we all just get along?" as it promotes peace, love, joy, & faith, while we still have time to change the world.

Use a mask to prevent PM2.5 do, the mask on the market a variety of. Recently, Shanghai police also issued a new "stealth mask" U - known as nasal congestion, can purify the air through the filter. Do you use medical masks to prevent PM2.5?
As the name suggests, it is mainly used for medical staff to use at work, to be able to effectively protect the medical process of some of the bacteria particles. Mainly divided into the following three categories:
How to make fried gold free expert to guide the Bank of gold and silver TD bank account guide gold silver trading simulation software set gold desktop Quotes 1 disposable medical masks, also known as surgical masks, usually used in the surgery, blue mask. Disposable medical mask is divided into three layers, the outer layer is used to prevent blood or saliva splash, the middle layer of the main filter bacteria and other toxic substances, the inner layer of the absorbent layer, the middle of the breathing process of water vapor effective adsorption.
2 gauze mask, the market share of 50%, usually can be divided into six layers, twelve layers and eighteen layers. Gauze masks are white, the material is pure cotton cloth, after the skim, the production of bleaching. The mask is soft, non smelly, tasteless and free of impurities. After each use, the soap can be washed with soap and soaked with disinfectant.
3 medical protective masks, the medical industry's most professional protective masks, respiratory tract infections are the most protective masks, in the SARS, avian influenza virus and the current widespread use of Ebola virus protection. Medical protective mask is generally divided into three layers, the inner layer material is non-woven, the middle layer is a high efficiency electrostatic spray coating, the outer layer is a thin polypropylene melt spraying layer. The performance and effectiveness of the medical protective mask are significant, and the mask is mostly maintenance free type, and can not be cleaned after repeated use.
Well, understand the three different types of medical masks, and then talk about whether they can prevent pm2.5.
1 disposable medical mask can not prevent PM2.5, this mask can effectively filter the dust particles larger than 4 microns in diameter, and the blood bacteria can protect. At present, the main manufacturing standard in China is YY0469-2011 "technical requirements for medical surgical masks";
2 gauze mask even more can not prevent PM2.5, it can only protect the large diameter of the particles, is the three types of medical masks in the worst protective filtering effect of the mask, the domestic and there is no relevant testing standards;
3 medical protective mask can effectively prevent PM2.5, face mask in accordance with the GB19083-2010 "medical mask technology requirements" standard, can effectively filter diameter less than 0.3 microns of dust particles and pathogenic microorganisms.

Kazimierz Dolny Day Trip
I had a fabulous experience with this trip. My guide was friendly and had a clean car. She made good conversation in the car ride there, and even respected my decision to sleep for like 94% of the car ride, very nice of her. The town is very pretty, is home to a variety of historical tales, and had a decent amount of tourists. There is much to see, from the history, heights, and cute lil Old Town. Couple of cool things Kazimierz Dolny has:
- Anot her famous Polish dog statue with a story behind it
- It is the origin of a Polish legend regarding a peacock (there is a lot of peacock stuff and souvenirs here)
- Kazimierz Dolny has famous eroded-tunnels that run for a long ways, pretty cool to hike
I highly recommend this tour for people interested in small Polish towns, urban legends, and pretty views. I am using AB Poland Tours again. ... [read more]

Cannabis has changed over the years!
The potency of cannabis has increased over the years; it is quite different from 30, 40 or 50 years ago. Further, age-related changes make older adult more likely to experience harm from cannabis use; aging changes body and mind functions, altering how cannabis is processed.
Cannabis is a plant-based drug that contains chemicals called cannabinoids. The most common cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC affects your brain making you feel "high", changing how you think, feel and act. The higher the THC potency, the greater the feeling of intoxication. It is THC that is mostly responsible for the health risks associated with cannabis. CBD does not cause intoxicating effects and can lessen the effects of THC.
