Every time Kathy Goon discusses economic opportunity in the city of Ashland, she grows effusive:
"We've put together a strong growth plan moving forward, between our public and private structure, our collaboration with Ashland University and Jobs Ohio, and our commitment to help entrepreneurs." Goon, the Executive Director of Ashland Area Economic Development, a.k.a Grow Ashland, also stated: "This is a beautiful place to live, and it's also a great place to work, to start something new and to innovate."
Her words are well-put. With a population base that has grown by 15 percent since 2000, and trended younger (45 percent are under age 35, according to the U.S. Census Bureau), it's been incumbent on officials to sprout a supportive work environment for them. That they have, with digital tech firms, craft breweries, smart manufacturing operations, and business expansions opening up.
Among the area businesses that have seen the best and worst of Ohio's economy in the past 100 years is Ohio Carbon Industries, which moved to Ashland in the late 1980s. According to General Manager B.J. Harvey, the company has quadrupled revenue in the last ten years, and forecasts a further 10 to 20 percent annual growth through 2023.
Ohio Carbon Industries' secret is a microcosm of the winning formula for both Ohio and Ashland: modernizing their business practices and finding new clientele by aligning with the ideal technology to shoot into the future. They did it with technology expansion, such as utilizing 3D printing and automated presses.
"Suddenly, we were able to expand from 20-piece orders to million-piece orders," Harvey said. "We've been targeting transit authorities, their needs for grounding brushes and assemblies. We have a lot of OEM customers for carbon brushes. We couldn't possibly produce the large quantities required with our standard machine shop, so we switched to automated presses."
Ohio Carbon's leap, like Ashland's, began with a decision in 2013 to purchase another manufacturer and fold its assets into the Ashland operation. Since then, the company has tripled employment, creating opportunities that are appealing to young workers. In Harvey's view, "You have to remember, these days, with the low unemployment rate, the employee is in the driver's seat.
How Ashland Built a Business-Friendly Environment
A single statistic points to Ashland's fortunes this decade. In 2013, when Ohio's economy was still coming up for air, the city decided to invest more to draw entrepreneurs. Only $600,000 in new business deals were signed that year, Goon said. For 2018, that number is north of $80 million, and could hit $100 million by year's end. As for the area's overall capital infusion, it has similarly skyrocketed from $7.45 million in 2015 to $311.1 million in 2017, with 80 percent of area businesses reporting growth in the past two years.
Ashland's efforts have been noticed nationally as well. Since 2014, the city has ranked among the country's Top 100 Micropolitans (under 50,000 population), hitting a high mark of No. 7 in 2017. They also won the 2018 Ohio Economic Development Association Award for the Grow Ashland marketing campaign, a brainchild of Goon.
How did they do it? For one thing, they repurposed farmland and commercial real estate. "One of the biggest things the City of Ashland did was create the Ashland Business Park," Goon said. "The city purchased a prior 250-acre dairy farm that is now home to over 20 manufacturers and distributors that employee more than 700 people."
To support the positive trends with Ashland industry and population growth, Grow Ashland spearheaded the downtown's Revitalization District in 2017. The initiative allows restaurant entrepren-eurs to access liquor licenses at a low, fixed price instead of searching for one on the open market.

'Free school plans need better checks' – MPs
A committee of MPs will today call for tougher rules before the setting up of 'free schools', to prevent a repeat of the Durham Free School fiasco.
The Department For Education (DFE) is urged to impose stronger checks before giving the go-ahead in areas with surplus places and a large number of outstanding, existing schools.
And it is told to publish the impact on neighbouring schools – not only when an application is made, but after a free school is opened.
The recommendations go to the heart of criticism of Durham Free School (DFS), which has been condemned as inadequate by watchdog Ofsted and will close within months.
Critics, led by Roberta Blackman-Woods, Durham City's Labour MP, argue DFS should never have been opened, in September 2013, and is a scandalous waste of money.
It attracted only about 90 pupils – in a city with high-quality schools, with empty places – and was expected to take another eight years to reach its target size of 630.
And it angered local people by opening temporarily in the former home of Durham Gilesgate Sports College, in Gilesgate, which had been controversially closed amid budget cuts.
The saga will be raised in the Commons tonight, in a debate led by Ms Blackman-Woods, who will demand that ministers reveal the full financial details behind the DFS failure.
Ministers are also under pressure to come clean about the role of Michael Gove's former adviser, Durham-born Dominic Cummings, and his mother, in establishing the school.
Before that debate, today's report by the Conservative-led education committee also accuses the Government of "exaggerating the success" of academies and free schools.
"We are saying the DFE needs to look very carefully before it agrees to set up a free school in an area that already has sufficient good places and good schools.
"Durham Free School was a waste of public money – £4m was thrown away – and Michael Gove did absolutely nothing about it."
Free schools have the same freedoms as academies, but have been typically set up the charitable arms of private firms, or groups of parents, or teachers.
There are now 1,884 secondary academies (60 per cent of the total) and 2,299 primaries (13 per cent), after outstanding schools were encouraged to convert.

Flight VS025 was forced to return to Heathrow shortly after take off after one of the pilots reported a "medical issue" following the light from a laser being shone into the cockpit.
A total of 414 'laser incidents' were reported to the UK's Civil Aviation Authority between January and June 2015 and today the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) issued a statement claiming that that more has to be done to stop the relatively new and dangerous phenomenon.
BALPA's general secretary, Jim McAuslan, says: "This is not an isolated incident. Aircraft are attacked with lasers at an alarming rate and with lasers with ever-increasing strength.
"It is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. Shining a laser at an aircraft puts that aircraft, its crew and all the passengers on board at completely unnecessary risk.
"Modern lasers have the power to blind, and certainly to act as a huge distraction and to dazzle the pilots during critical phases of flight.
"We are sure the police will do everything in their power to find the culprits of this attack and prosecute them.
"We repeat our call to the government to classify lasers as offensive weapons which would give the police more power to arrest people for possessing them if they had no good reason to have them.
"This incident shows why this is becoming more-and-more urgent.
"Pilots across the world know how dangerous laser attacks are and therefore will join with me in commending the actions of the crew of VS25 who put their passengers' safety first and took the decision to return to Heathrow."

Arinda A.
"I am the eldest of six siblings and the second person in my family to graduate from high school. My mother only completed high school. Several of my cousins dropped out of high school due to lack of family support and encouragement, and growing up in the harsh environments of south San Diego. Because my father and mother did not attend college, earning a higher education was always encouraged. Today, I am a first generation college student.
"I successfully graduated from Chula Vista High School in June 1998. Because of my academic and athletic talent, I was recruited to play for several universities. Due to my family responsibilities and lack of financial support, I was forced to pass these opportunities up.
"I applied to San Diego State University (SDSU) and began my undergraduate studies in Fall 1998. I am working toward a B.S. degree in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Health, Food, and Nutrition. In addition to my academics, I play for the SDSU Division 1, Women's soccer team. Currently, I am in my fourth year, and I will graduate in May 2003. My next goal will be to earn a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology. However, if given the opportunity to play professional soccer, I would look forward to that challenge."
Arinda's father is Felipe Zubieta. He is an exercise rider currently working for trainer Barry Abrams.
Miguel A. C.
Miguel is currently enrolled at Cal Poly-Pomona. He is pursuing his goal to complete college and move on the graduate school to become an Aerospace Engineer. In high school, he was impressively involved in several extra curricular activities and programs. He was first president of the AVID Club, and participated in the Upward Bound Program, LULAC, California Scholarship Federation, MESA, Physics Club, JROTC, and has been president of the MECHA Club. Miguel' community service includes volunteering as a tutor for high school students in all math levels up to Pre-Calculus, Pomona High School library assistant, and St. Madeleine's Confirmation Church as an assistant.
Miguel's mom, Guadalupe, is a groom in the Southern California racing circuit. More recently, she worked with the Godolphin stables and then for trainer Alexis Barba.
Michael C.
Michael is attending Devry University in Pomona. He is working on acquiring a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, with the ultimate goal of forming his own business. "It would be a great accomplishment if I could come back and put to use my acquired knowledge and education within the horseracing industry."
Horseracing has played a big role in Michael's life. Many members of his family have worked in this industry as exercise riders, horse trainers, assistant trainers, grooms, and hot walkers. "I believe that horse racing belongs in our family's blood," says Michael. "I often visit the racetrack with my father on race days and truly enjoy watching the horse races. Since I was a child, I was attracted to horse racing, and was amazed by the speed and size of the horses. My dream was to become a Jockey, but I soon discovered I was just too big. Now my dream is to become a trainer or owner one day."
Michael's father is Eloy Cuenca. His uncle, Arturo Calva, a trainer at Pomona Fairplex, introduced him to this industry. He was offered the opportunity to work with his uncle at the track and follow the family's path into horse racing. Beginning in the late '80's as a hot walker for Calva, he later became a groom and has worked with various trainers such as Michael G. Harte, Eric J. Kruljac, Frank Jones, Tony Dee, Patrick L. Biancone, Jeff Metz, and Gene Cleveland. He currently works for Darrell Vienna.
"I'm thankful for all the help I have received from everyone. I especially thank my parents for their sacrifices and efforts toward my future success. They have been able to provide me with the essentials, they have been great motivators and have supported me every step of the way."
Jennifer Lee F.
Jennifer is currently enrolled at Cal Poly Pomona studying Animal Industries and Business Management. She first intended studying the Equine Industry Option under the Animal Science major, but has since decided to broaden her studies.
Presently working part-time for trainer Jenine Sahadi, Jennifer states that she would like to keep horse racing a part of her future career. "My love of horses has come from my dad's involvement with thoroughbreds and from the excitement this industry has to offer."
Jennifer's father, Charles Friday, entered racing as an exercise rider in 1965, working horses at Rex Ellsworth's ranch, then moving on to work with trainer Charles Comisky. John Russell soon after contracted him as an apprentice rider, but weight challenges stopped him after seven races. He next became assistant trainer for Lou Carno then Tom Estimo, finally becoming a public trainer in 1977 through 1989, with stakes horses PRINCE PALMER, OUR PAL MICHAEL, THANK YOU WALKERS, and ILATAN. Charles later returned to exercising horses for trainers such as Grant Hofmans, Peter Levine, Ron McAnally, Bill Spawr, and currently with trainer John Shirreffs. He has exercised the stakes horses OLYMPIC CHARMER, EXCHANGE, BEAUTIFUL NOISE, DEXTER DRIVE, MANISTIQUE, CLIQUOT, LAQUARIA, COOL MOOD, IVY'S PRINCE, BOLD JOEY, and NEVADA MARGA.
Esmeralda G.
Esmeralda is currenly enrolled full-time at California State University of San Bernardino. Her favorite subject of Math has led her to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. She presently carries a GPA of above 3.5. As a high school student, Esmeralda was a varsity level member of both track and cross country teams, German National Honors Society, the National Honor Society, and tutored students struggling in German language classes.
Indalecio Gomez, father of Esmeralda, left his home in Yahualica Jalisco, Mexico, at age twelve in search of work. His responsibility was heavy, as he had become the sole supporter for his mother and two younger sisters. Indalecio believed the United States offered the opportunity and assistance he needed to care for his family, and came to California with his uncle to work on the racetrack. Thirty-two years have passed since his start as a hot walker in the days when the pay was $1 per horse. Through the years he moved upward to groom, and is now foreman/assistant to trainer Sandy Shulman. Indalecio is proud to have worked with FABULOUS NOTION, THIRST FOR PEACE, and SPIRITED JACLYN, among many others.
Esmeralda's mom, Maria, is also a native of Jalisco, Mexico. She is actively involved in various committees at her children's schools, including Vice President of the school district Bilingual Committee.
Alejandrina N.
Alejandrina has completed two semesters at San Diego City College, preparing for her transfer to San Diego State University. There, she will major in Liberal Studies, and it is her desire to become a Kindergarten teacher. Alejandrina expresses that, "At this time, I am doing well. Each semester gets tougher, but I am doing my best and steadily improving and acquiring the education that I am seeking."
Guadalupe Navarro, father of Alejandrina, is from Guadalajara, Mexico. In 1990, through word from friends about the great opportunity to work in the horseracing industry, he began as an exercise rider for trainer John Russell. In 1992 and since then, he has worked for Bob Baffert, exercising horses SILVER CHARM, REAL QUIET, CONGAREE, SILVER BULLET DAY, and WAR EMBLEM.
Melissa R.
Melissa attended Mount St. Mary's College where she began studies to become a college English Professor. While there, she joined as a member of the Voices Latina Club and Ambassador Program. She is now enrolled at California State University-Los Angeles, double majoring in Philosophy and English, with a minor in Religious Studies. Melissa has worked at Roosevelt High School for the past three years as an Assistant College Counselor and Testing Coordinator.
For most, finding a job that you love is a tough task in itself. Coming from a foreign county with not much in your pocket only adds to the difficulty. Born in Pihuamo, Jalisco, Mexico, this was Pedro Rangel's experience coming to California 33 years ago. He found a job at a restaurant, but it wasn't what he wanted to do. Having heard about the racetrack, he got a job grooming horses with Northern California based trainer Don Porter, and within days experienced a great appreciation for horses and the industry. He has since worked in horse racing with trainers John Longden, Darrell Vienna, and Jim Sacco. Horses Pedro has cared for include KRIS S., KANGAROO COURT, and REGAL BEARING.
This father of three now works for trainer Sanford Shulman in the Southern California racing circuit. His oldest daughter is an alumnus of USC. He now looks forward to seeing Melissa achieve the educational goals she has set forth for herself.
Melissa tells us that, "I received the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation scholarship this year and it assisted me tremendously. Without the help of the Foundation, I may not have been able to afford this year's tuition. It's a good feeling to know that there is a foundation that prides itself on giving back to the families of the men and women who have worked hard in the Thoroughbred Industry. Much thanks to all of you."
Maria T.
Maria was born in Sanger California where she lived for the first four years of her life. Her family returned to Mexico for nine years. At thirteen, her family moved permanently to San Pablo, California.
"Like everyone else, I came to this country with a lot of goals and dreams. I wanted to become a pediatrician. As a young child, I became involved in the UNICEF Foundation. There I used to take care of children who were sick and abandoned. That gave me a unique sense of fulfillment and purpose, and I continued with the goal of helping more people."
Maria is presently attending Contra Costa College. She is in her second semester and plans to soon transfer to a university. "Before I enter the pediatrics doctorate program, I would like to become a registered nurse specializing in pediatrics," says Maria. "In addition to attending college, I am working as a hospital volunteer."

"My father, Ignacio Vazquez, grew up in Mexico on a ranch with his parents and ten brothers and sisters. He helped maintain the growing crops and the animals they owned. There he learned to take care of horses and later learned to gallop them."
In 1971, a friend introduced Ignacio to racing at Mexico's "Hipodromo de las Americas." In December 1973, he won his first race as a jockey. It was an experience he would never forget, and an experience that has been a fulfilling part of his life. In the following years, Vazquez made his way to Tijuana and then the Southern California racing circuit as an exercise rider. He was worked for trainers Tommy Dole, Beau Greely, Alfredo Marquez, and recently, with Ted West. He has ridden horses such as FIVE STAR DAY, MANDAR, TAKARIAN, and TIZNOW.

5 Ways to Build Classroom Community
Don't you just love February? It's the month for love and random acts of kindness. So, it's the perfect time to teach your students how to spread love to others. Of course, I know we teach about kindness throughout the year but February gives us an excuse to go overboard.
Kindness is power; the power to help someone, the power to move someone, the power to inspire someone. When you start by helping one person with kindness, you never know how far that spark will go.
We have FIVE fun activities to help your students learn how to show others how much they mean to them through acts of kindness.
Students can brainstorm ways to be kind at school and create a kindness web. This is a great time to make an anchor chart with all the different ways that the students can show kindness to others. Download the kindness map by clicking on the picture below.
Students can place sweet notes in a compliment jar. This is a super easy way for students to recognize their classmates for things they do well or for what others notice about them.
Have students think of ways they can treat others to create classroom harmony. Students can write their ideas on heart cutouts.Then you can place them on a bulletin board, the classroom door, or throughout the room as a reminder of how to keep the harmony.
Have students write ways they can stand up against bullies on a shoe cut out. If you need some great books to share about bullying to get the lesson started, check out We Are Teachers here to find a list of 14 books that are perfect for addressing this very important topic in the classroom.
Use cactus cutouts and have students write ways we can stick together and be a team. Teamwork makes the dream work!
We hope that this gives you all some ideas to help your classroom community overflow with love!

"Don't what-if your life away" – Unknown
Regret is a negative emotion that can literally tear you apart from the inside out if you let it. It makes you focus on things in the past. Things you can not change. Why waste your precious moments, your precious time on things you can't do anything about? I used to always say "what if I wouldn't have said that?" , "what if I didn't go there, do that…" Then someone once told me years ago "don't what-if your life away". At the time I didn't think to much of it but then I started noticing how much I actually said "what if". It was horrible. I have no idea how many moments I've lost in my live focusing on things I had no control over.
Now that I have been focusing on the phrase "what-if" for the past few years I try my hardest to never say it unless it pertains to the future. It gives you so much more control. What if we painted the house green? What if we gave the kids their own room? What if we had date nights once a month? Just thinking about these "what-if" questions makes me smile more than feel bad about myself.
Try it for yourself. If you catch yourself thinking of the past and wanting to change it, stop. Tell yourself there is nothing you can do about it and therefore no point wishing it was different. Then focus on what you learned from it and how can you make it better next time. If it helps you in anyway please let me know. I love to know if anyone out there has at least one more better day because of something I've said. 🙂
Thank you for reading. If you enjoyed reading this join the fun and subscribe! I have lots of goodies. 🙂

|That "Blue Wave" Never Materialized
By Timothy H. Lee
Thursday, November 08 2018
"Blue wave?"
More like a splash pad.
That's the primary takeaway from this week's long-anticipated midterm elections, in which voters registered their first nationwide performance review of the Trump Administration.
You want an actual "wave" midterm election?
Try 2010, when Barack Obama lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives, the most devastating midterm swing since 1938, thereby losing the overwhelming Democratic majority that greeted him in 2008. He also lost 6 Senate seats, as well as a record-breaking 680 state legislative seats.
In subsequent elections, things only continued to decline for Obama. Even leftist Washington Post commentator Chris Cillizza penned a 2016 synopsis entitled "Barack Obama's Presidency Has Been a Very Good Thing for Republicans":
For the first time since Gallup began measuring party affiliation nationwide, there are now more red states than blue ones... "It also marks a dramatic shift from 2008, when Democratic strength nationally was its greatest in recent decades." The shift in party affiliation over the past seven years is absolutely incredible... From 2008 to 2015, Democrats went from a 30-state lead to a six-state deficit when it comes to states solidly or leaning their way on party affiliation. That is simply stunning.
Gallup's findings are in keeping with what I think is the most under-told story of the Obama years: Republicans have made massive gains at virtually every level of government other than, of course, the White House. Republicans have their largest House majority since World War II, having retaken the majority in the 2010 election. They hold a four-seat majority in the Senate, having seized control of the world's greatest deliberative body in the 2014 midterms.
For another illustration of a "wave" midterm election, consider Obama's Democratic predecessor Bill Clinton.
In 1994, just two years after he was elected president, Clinton saw his party lose 54 seats in the House, which returned to Republican control for the first time since 1954, Dwight Eisenhower's second year in office. Clinton also lost 8 Senate seats, which meant that it was also the first time since 1954 that both houses of Congress switched party majorities in the same election.
If you're looking for "wave" electoral rebukes, Obama and Clinton provide Exhibits A and B.
More broadly, sitting presidents have averaged 30 lost House seats and 4 lost Senate seats over the past 21 midterm elections.
So how did the allegedly radioactive and bumbling President Trump perform in his first midterm test?
On the Senate side, he actually achieved that rare feat of gaining seats. As this is being written, Arizona remains uncalled, although it appears that the seat will remain Republican. Since neither candidate in Mississippi got 50% of the vote, due to minority candidates, there will be a November 27th runoff, but Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith is most likely to retain the seat. While Florida is being recounted, Republican Rick Scott is virtually certain to retain his win over Bill Nelson. Added to Democratic losses in Indiana and Missouri, Republicans will thus net three additional Senate seats.
And on the House side, several races remain undecided. At the present time, however, it appears that Republicans will lose about 30 seats, which is at or even below the historical average.
Although losing a House majority isn't something that Republicans would've wished, it's hardly catastrophic. After all, it was unlikely that significant legislation originating in the House would've occurred over the next two years as the 2020 presidential election approaches.
In contrast, losing their Senate majority would've been catastrophic for Republicans and President Trump. That would've instantly terminated their ability to continue confirming Supreme Court and lower court conservative nominees, which constitutes perhaps the most critical issue among conservatives and libertarians when they cast their votes.
In fact, the issue of judicial appointments might've proven the pivotal factor in preserving Republicans' Senate majority. Prior to the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, after all, Democrats maintained a significant edge in voter enthusiasm and individual Senate race polls. By the time that Kavanaugh was confirmed, however, that advantage had evaporated due to the treatment to which he was subjected by Democrats.
Accordingly, a judicial nomination proved the pivotal factor in swinging several tight races in the legislative body responsible for confirming judicial nominees.
Going forward, the primary task for President Trump and Senate Republicans will be continuing their record pace of confirming new judges. And on the House side, the important pursuit will be persuading swing-district Democrats to vote for legislation that can continue President Trump's remarkable economic performance to date via deregulation and reducing tax and other burdens on businesses and consumers.
That will test President Trump's abilities as a deal-maker. But at the very least, he's already proven himself more skilled at maintaining and even expanding his party's Congressional majorities that those supposedly masterful politicians Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Reviews for Organic Surge Blissful Daily Moisturiser
My favourite moisturiser! So gentle, silky and soft. Doesn't leave skin greasy.
I like the Organic Surge range, but I'm not sure whether the Day Cream is really suiting my skin at present as I am having regular breakouts.
This product is great value for its price. When I first applied, I was worried as it did seem a tad heavy and would leave on a greasy residue on my face. To my surprise, I just got to wait it out for a few minutes and it's completely absorbed into my skin, leaving it soft and supple. Furthermore, a little goes a long way!
I didn't use the product yet, but my first ipression is good. The smell is a bit different, not like other moisturisers with creamy smell...this smells exactly like a natural product, but I'm sure I'll get use to it.
Smells lovely and feels silky to apply. Sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue but skin feels hydrated.
This product is very good value. It is a nice moisturiser. The smell is very pleasant & there is no phenoxyethanol in the ingredients. I have tried other more expensive creams but this one does the job and at a very reasonable price.

After the preliminary hearing and before a criminal case goes to trial, the prosecutor and the defense team usually appear before a criminal court judge and make pre-trial motions -- arguments that certain evidence should be kept out of the trial, that certain persons must or cannot testify, or that the case should be dismissed altogether.
Pre-trial motions are tools used by the government and the defense in an effort to set the boundaries for trial, should one take place: What physical evidence and testimony can be used? What legal arguments can and cannot be made? Is there any reason that the defendant should not be forced to stand trial?
Learn more about pre-trial motions and how they're used below.
What Arguments are Made During Pre-Trial Motions?
While specific possibilities are endless, following are some examples of pre-trial motions that might be made in a criminal case:
Various Types of Pretrial Motions
The importance of the pre-trial motion depends on the kind of case, the severity of the charges, the strength of the prosecution's case, and other factors. A successful pretrial motion can profoundly change the course of a trial if used effectively. Some of the most common such motions include the following:
Get Legal Help to Better Understand Pre-Trial Motions
Which pretrial motions will be most effective depends entirely on the facts of your case and the applicable law. The best way to determine which pre-trial motions to file is the consult with a local criminal defense attorney who can not only answer any questions you may have, but also file the motions on your behalf.
Contact a qualified criminal lawyer to make sure your rights are protected.

Understanding the Solarize Community Solar Programs in New York City and State
Posted by Veronica Ciechowska
New York City and State Solarize programs are locally organized community outreach efforts aimed at getting a group of homes and businesses in one area to install solar energy. New York State supports Solarize community solar programs as part of the NY-Sun Incentive Program. The NY-Sun is Governor Cuomo's $1 billion initiative to advance solar energy. In his 2016 State of the State address, Governor Cuomo set the goal to install solar projects in 150,000 new homes and businesses by 2020. In this post we'll share how the Solarize program is performing across the state as well as share updates to the New York shared renewables program and Solarize NYC.
Solarize Campaigns Across New York State
In February 2016, Governor Cuomo announced that 900 solar projects are underway as part of 26 different Solarize campaigns. The Governor also announced that an additional 31 Solarize campaigns are set to begin this spring. The Solarize initiative is a collaboration between the State and local communities. Those communities are able to simplify purchasing and obtain discounts for participants on solar projects.
New York's Shared Renewables Program
Both the shared renewables program and the Solarize campaigns got their start as part of the New York State Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) Process and is part of the NY-Sun program. The shared renewables program extends New York's net energy metering policy to centrally-located solar arrays. The program allows rooftop arrays, as well as shared solar arrays, to qualify for retail rate reimbursement. Phase two of the shared renewables program went into effect May 1, 2016.
As community solar programs continue to grow across the state, it is important to establish rules for the shared ownership of solar energy. The shared renewables program establishes the full rules, which you can view in this document from New York State. As part of the rules, a project sponsor can be an energy services company, a municipal entity, or any other type of business or non-profit. The sponsor will be responsible for building, interconnecting, owning, and operating the behind the meter generation.
While the shared renewables program extends to communities across New York State, industry professionals are excited to see how it will affect New York City in particular. With so much real estate occupied by renters, a shared community solar program will allow those buildings to take advantage of rooftop solar. Learn more about the shared renewables program in this article from UtilityDive.
Solarize NYC
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in April a new Solarize NYC plan to help make solar energy more affordable in New York City, where residents face some of the highest energy costs in the country. Solarize NYC was created to help remove barriers for communities that typically have had limited access to clean energy. The program allows communities (which can include neighborhoods, business districts and houses of worship, among others) to purchase solar power together as single purchasing entities. This community solar initiative can save users between 10 and 20 percent on energy costs.
Solarize NYC builds upon the success of the 2015 NYSolar Smart Solarize Brooklyn CB6 pilot program led by Sustainable CUNY, through which 26 contracts have been signed to date, representing 141 kilowatts of power.
This program falls under both Governor Cuomo's NY-Sun and Mayor de Blasio's OneNYC initiative. The program is also part of the NYC Solar Partnership. Formed in 2006, the NYC Solar Partnership consists of Sustainable CUNY of the City University of New York, the New York City Mayor's Office of Sustainability, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
A goal of the OneNYC initiative, as well as the NYC Solar Partnership, is to have 350 megawatts of installed solar capacity on public and private building by 2025. According to Politico, 75 megawatts have been installed at this point in time. Another goal of Solarize NYC, according to a press release, is to increase access to solar through community purchasing groups over the next nine years.
While NYC remains a difficult place to install solar, due to code restrictions and the layout of the City, this initiative appeals to both developers and individual users of solar energy. Solarize NYC encourages developers to build out solar capacity and sell the energy to community groups.
According to the press release from Mayor de Blasio, Solarize NYC is also a core component of the OneNYC goal of expanding in-city renewable energy and part of the mayor's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050.
Additionally, as part of the OneNYC program as well as due to a push from solar development companies, the mayor's office has made a commitment to cutting red tape at the Department of Buildings in order to speed up approval of solar installation projects. This includes updating Fire Department guidelines on roof classifications to ensure larger solar projects can be safely installed on more rooftops. You can learn more about the improved fire code guidelines for NYC solar installers in this recent blog post.
How to Take Part in Solarize NYC
Both community groups and solar installers interested in taking part in the Solarize NYC program can apply online by submitting a Letter of Interest at nycsolarize.com. Once accepted, applicants can expect to receive financial support from the city, marketing materials and templates for community outreach, technical assistance and training from Solar Ombudsmen, and connections to partners to assist you throughout the process.

It is difficult for businesses to align HR Strategy with the corporate culture and goals of the organization. This is challenging because many times HR departments are bogged down in the paperwork and transactional functions of managing human capital. Outsourcing some of these functions allows HR to focus on the core issues that can impact the company's bottom line and create a more productive workforce. Determining what functions to outsource can be equally as challenging. Perhaps your company wants to be more strategic but you don't have the budget or need to hire a full time Director or VP level resource to drive this strategy. There are a variety of outsourcing options that can help a business to improve in areas where they are suffering most.
Where Centripetal Can Help
Centripetal Consulting Group can assist your company with finding the right outsourcing strategy and the most qualified HR service providers to meet these specific needs, whether it is a project or ongoing solution, such as an ASO arrangement.

How to back up digital photos
If you happen to be a professional photographer, or a housewife, a student or an amateur photographer, any photo you click, holds value. The images reflect moods, memories or art work etc. which make them unique.
The First Digital Camera was built in 1974, and at that time it was mainly used for space programs. In the year 1995, consumer level digital cameras were introduced and ever since there was no looking back for digital photography and technology. Digital photos store images electronically and often these electronic storage devices can be faulty and there are chances that one can lose their photos.
A recent survey done concluded that 55% adults have lost files, yet most of them never back up the data. 75% respondents hinted that photos and videos happen to be their most prized assets yet people do not consider data backup important and rarely take data backup.
The major reason for not taking data backup is the lack of trust and understanding on the storage devices available. 12 % respondents chose online back up as compared to 37% who use HDD's, DVD's or USB's. Despite losing data, the respondents did nothing to regain lost data or to seek expert opinion for data recovery of the lost data.
Digital photos are stored electronically in electronic storage devices like Hard disk, SSD, SD cards, Flash drives or USB drives. These electronic devices can give away and can result in loss of data. Enumerated below are reasons for data loss –
- Failure of mechanical components
- Sudden power surge
- Virus attacks
- Accidental deletion or formatting
- Incorrect system shutdown
- Plugging out the digital camera suddenly while copying photos
- Corrupt memory card
This can happen to anyone, so it's better to avoid the disaster rather than repenting. Here are few suggestions to Store digital photos to avoid data losses.
- Using an External Hard drive: There are many external hard drives available in the market that can be used to back up your photos in a very convenient manner. They vary from their storage capacity ranging from few GBs to a lot of TB's.
- Cloud Service: The usage of cloud service is a good option as it does not requires any external or a physical space. It is a cloud service company that owns a bunch of hard drives (servers), where the users pay and backup their photos over the internet. Install a cloud service and connect it with the hard drive, pay them a bit of cash and they will run automatically in the background. Every time a user will add a new file on the hard drive, that file will be uploaded on the server on its own.
Advantage: There is no need to remember to plug anything, user can get unlimited backup and also this will not require any physical space. As the files are stored off-site there is no fear of theft of photos.
- Online storage sites: Another alternative is to upload photos to a site that shares and displays the photos, such as Flickr, Picasa and Microsoft's Windows Live Photo Gallery. Just install the application from the internet and start uploading and sharing your photos.
Also read: Top 5 Cloud Storage Services to Backup Your Data Online
Advantages: This facility will let the user's relatives to see the photos as well and can also download it on their end. This service requires no space except the memory space required to install the software and many free service can be upgraded with unlimited storage.
- Using CD/DVD's: This is also a good backup facility but it may take some time. It is a good idea to replace online or external backups with manual backups to DVDs. Buy any number of DC/DVDs and put it in the drive and start backing up your files. But the user has to be sure to have a strict backup schedule.
Advantage: The saved files on DVDs can be kept together safely and can be carried anywhere. Unlike hard drives, CD/DVDs are a bit light and are portable.
- Making physical copies/printing: The photos can be printed and it's a nice way to keep your memories intact. The photos can be given to any photo studio and the photos can be given in a printed form in an easy way.
Advantages: This is a nice way to keep copies of some of your favorite photos as they are also portable and can be carried anywhere you want. You can hold them in your hands and also there is no chance of them getting damaged unless it's a natural disaster.
These above stated ways of backing up your digital photos are very easy and efficient too. But, in some ways they are also not very reliable. As mentioned above, the disadvantages and limitations associated with the above storage procedures are given:
- Using External Hard drive: hard drive comes with different storing capacity and is an upfront investment. Some may require a high storage capacity hard drive and that may be quite expensive. Every time you have to plug your hard drive even if there is software to run backups.
- Cloud Service: The user has to remember to sync the phone to the computer.
- Online storage sites: In online storage sites, there is no way to automatically start the back up from computer. Also there is a limited capacity and the pixels may be reduced sometimes.
- Using CD/DVD's: When using CD/DVD as back up one needs to follow strict back up schedule, and are prone to errors like the external hard disks.
- Making physical copies/printing: This way creates an unforgettable memory but often making printed copies results in color fading in some prints.
These above reasons make it a no-no for everyone as there are some limitations associated with each of them. In this case, a photo recovery service is best option. The reasons to opt for this service are numerous, such as:
- Data Recovery engineers are professionals to provide seamless photo recovery from lost, deleted, or inaccessible digital images
- Recovery from reformatted memory cards or hard drives
- Recovery from media devices caused by fire, water or other physical damage
- Quick, convenient and cost-effective data recovery solutions
- Remote recovery service through a secure modem
In an unfortunate circumstance of data loss seek advice professional data recovery expert. The users need to understand only reliable and experienced data recovery services should be trusted for effective data recovery solutions. Stellar Data Recovery offers Photo Recovery service, no matter how bad the situation is, we can fix it and recover your digital photo. Only an expert can recover digital images from smart media damaged.

Hi. I Am New And Need Advice Please.
melissa replied to keithtutor's topic in Public: Welcome!Hi, I guess this is kind of late. And perhaps it's not much help, because it's basically going to echo what other posts have said. But, I know in my situation, my mother sided with my abuser (who was not in my family), and refused to take me out of the school where he was. Now, I love my mother dearly, and I know it's not her fault that I was abused. But as my mother, I expected her to protect me. My abuser hurt me once, I told my Mom, and she did nothing. Then he hurt me 3 more times before the school year finally ended. Again, I don't blame my mother, but I wanted her to save me. I ended up having to move out of my mother's house, and sever contact for awhile, so that I could process what happened in what I felt was a safer environment. Because she didn't protect me then, I didn't think she would if anything else ever happened. Perhaps your daughters are feeling something similar. Please, don't take this the wrong way, I am NOT, DEFINITELY NOT saying it was your fault, because as you said, you are a victim here, but as children we want our parents to protect us from things that are too big for us to handle. If it was indeed you that arranged visits with their abuser than perhaps they are feeling a little angry. I see my Mom regularly now, I always spend the night Saturday. But it took awhile to reach that point. I had to heal a little bit (through MUCH therapy), and she had to agree to some terms/boundaries. I would recommend therapy for your daughters. Also, there are some really good reading materials, and I believe whitedove recommended some websites. Umm...I really hope this helped, and if you have any more questions, or am confused by anything i said (sometimes I don't make much sense) PM me. Good luck on your journey, take care, melissa

If we don't have that, we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach." -Maya Angelou "I am not a teacher only a fellow travelor of whom you asked the way. I point ahead, ahead of myself as well you." -George Bernard Shaw

With Easter one week away, I'm sure many of you already have an idea of what you'll be serving for dinner, many menus planned with tradition over the years! But if anyone is still swirling ideas around in their heads, I wanted to offer up a few suggestions of some of my favorite things. Easter… Read Post
Carrot cake and Easter seem to go hand in hand. We have a great, easy carrot sheet cake in our first cookbook that we love, but this is the carrot cake for celebrations and also for murder by sugar. This is my friend Jeni's (who I always seem to be stealing recipes from) trademark cake, and… Read Post
We are heading into that magical time of year when, as parents, our lives are completely overrun by performances, dance recitals, concerts, plays, musicals, and awards ceremonies. I recently posted some photos I took of a local production of Matilda on Instagram and got several requests for how to take stage photographs. So. If you're wanting… Read Post
These days you can find sweet potato fries on many restaurant menus, but just ten years or so ago that wasn't the case. I still remember the first time I ever tasted them- it was at McMenamins when we lived in Portland. They were were served plain with just a sprinkling of salt, and they… Read Post
Easter Cookies! I always love the idea of decorating holiday cookies, but the reality is making different color frostings and making something that doesn't look like a preschooler did it is sometimes challenging! I've showed you some hand-drawn cookies before, for Valentine's Day, and I wanted to do some Easter Cookies this year as well!… Read Post
This recipe for homemade Italian dressing is one of my all-time favorite dressings and marinades! I love that I pretty much always have the ingredients for this dressing, it comes together in about 3 minutes, and not only is it one of my all-time favorite salad dressings but it is THE BEST marinade, especially for… Read Post
For the last 2 1/2 years, my friend Devin and I have met nearly every week for lunch. If you don't have a girlfriend you have a non-official standing weekly lunch date with, I strongly recommend that you find one. Every girl needs girlfriends (which I did not always believe) and if this whole adulting… Read Post
I'm continuing to love my Instant Pot Electric pressure cooker, and as requested, I have another recipe for you–Pressure Cooker Chili-Lime Chicken! If you don't have a pressure cooker- don't turn away, this is still a great recipe that you could use with any other cooking method so stick with me. boneless skinless chicken breasts… Read Post
These Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are one of my favorite OG Our Best Bites recipes. I was planning on posting an amaaaazing new dinner recipe today and share this (made-over) post on Thursday, but then our site went down last week and there are still things that aren't quite working right PLUS basically my whole… Read Post
So have you had a hard time finding a brand of Teriyaki sauce that you like at the store? Or even more likely, have you ever found yourself quickly approaching dinnertime and you think you have nothing to make? Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm willing to bet that you always have the… Read Post
My family loves eggs and they're often at the center of our quick and easy weeknight dinners. Sometimes when making things like poached or fried eggs for a crowd – whether it be just enough for a family dinner, or a really large amount for a luncheon or party- you are really limited by the… Read Post
I caused quite a stir on Instagram this past week when I shared a series of stories from a brand new Albertsons store here in my home town. Some of the comments left were "Is it weird I want to take a road trip to Albertsons?!" and "My official bucket list: Paris, Milan, Bora Bora,… Read Post
