Here's what you'll need, and what you'll need to know.
No matter how rustic, simple, or minimal you want to live, some form of electricity is still pretty much a necessity. There are many options for sourcing electricity for your off-grid home, including solar panel options, electrical generators and batteries, or bringing in traditional power lines to your property, and each option or scenario has its own price tag and logistics attached to it.
Going Solar
Solar panels are a favorite option for many off-grid homesteaders, and for good reason. Though sometimes pricey upon initial installation, using solar power means you are not tied to your local electric company — not responsible for a monthly electric bill.
Solar panels collect energy from the sun, store it, and convert it to electrical power inside the home or vehicle. Panels may be totally stationary on the roof of your home, small and portable via a large case of sorts for traveling, or even sticky and flexible to apply directly to the roof of an RV or other vehicle.
But when setting up a solar system — you know what I mean — you are not just tossing up a few panels, plugging in, and calling it good.
In fact many homesteaders hire a professional to install their system, and where we live, a local Amish family offers to install solar for home living for a price similar to what the electrical company would charge to install power lines.
In considering going solar, you must ensure that the size and capacity of your panels are capable of producing the amount of power you require, you must utilize battery banks of your choosing to store the collected solar energy, and understand the wiring, converting, and use of power. More needed power means more panels, more batteries, more configuring, and it can become complicated.
And though I do love the concept of using free energy from the sun to power our lives, I know that solar is not always the best option for everybody.
Pros & Cons
The biggest downfall when it comes to solar power, comes with location.
If you live in an area where your panels will be shaded at all — by clouds, trees, etc. — you're automatically not going to get as much out of your solar panels. And if they're covered in snow? Forget about it.
Some solar panels are made to always face the sun — changing their orientation throughout the day to track the sun as it moves across the sky. But expect this sort of setup to be very expensive. Of course the smaller portable panels I mentioned earlier can be moved as needed, but if you are looking to power your home with this sort of panel, then you'll need quite a few panels with a very high wattage and a very small home, as these are more ideal for the traveling vanlifer or camper.
In southwestern Colorado, where we have our own little tiny house homestead, there is a ton of sunshine to enjoy, making solar power appear to be a very plausible option.
However, the same elements that created the massive dunes in our neighboring Great Sand Dunes National Park, are the same elements that can be extremely rough on a solar panel setup.
I mean, it gets windy af out here.
And this past winter, many of our solar-using friends in the area saw their expensive systems completely wiped out by the extreme weather and storms.
Basically, solar power can be absolutely perfect under the right conditions, but many times, the conditions must be absolutely perfect as well — and most homesteaders rely on the use of generators or propane alongside their solar panels, as it would be impossible to rely on solar power alone.
Have I already told you about how when first setting off on the Life Rustic journey, we immediately went out and bought the biggest, baddest, loudest, and most powerful gas generator in stock?
Lolololol totally unnecessary.
That bad boy gave us a constant 6,000 watts of power and weighed about a thousand pounds.
We have since downgraded to a small, lightweight inverter generator that produces about 1,000 watts and purrs like a kitten. So really, we upgraded.
Similar to considering solar panels, when shopping for a generator you must first consider how much power (wattage) you will need. Every household appliance provides on the label the amount of watts required for it to operate, so you simply need to add up these numbers. And in doing so, you may quickly decide that you will make your coffee the old fashioned way in a kettle, rather than sacrifice the high wattage that your electric coffee maker is going to hog from your generator or battery bank.
Why else do you think we've gone so long without a microwave? Watts, baby, watts!
And really, that applies to whatever sort of power you are using off the grid. When you are responsible for sourcing and storing the power yourself — whether from the sun, gas generator, or propane tank — and not getting it via a constant supply from the power plant down the street, you realize that there are many appliances, gadgets, and the like that you may not actually need to use.
The good news, though, is that you are forced to not be such lazy bum consumer who is so dependent on the system to just give give give so you can take take take and — you know what, I won't get on this soap box today.
Less Wattage is OK
Anyway, using approximately 1,000 watts has worked just fine for us. We can power the lights in the little Jellybean Shasta, turn on the television and gaming device, plug in a laptop, and charge our phones, devices, and batteries all from the generator.
Does it take some prioritizing to also operate the water pump or other high-watt appliance at the same time as another with our smaller generator? Yes. But with a battery bank that stores the power created by the generator — again using the setup needed with solar panels — the power doesn't have to come from the generator alone, every time.
Which is why homesteaders utilize pretty much everything — solar panels, generators, propane tanks, etc. — with each thing specified for a different job.
What's great about inverters, too, is that they are incredibly efficient. Where our former beast of a generator would spit out 6,000 watts of power by simply turning it on, blowing through gallons and gallons of gasoline in the process, the inverter generator basically produces the power as needed, which means saving lots of gas and eardrums.
It's pretty much like roadtripping in a Prius versus roadtripping in a military tank.
That said, though, our inverter generator sure is a delicate little guy, and requires quite a bit more maintenance and upkeep than the powerhouse we used to have. Every few weeks we are giving it a complete oil change, cleaning or changing spark plugs, and checking or changing the air filter. But, as it has continued on like a champ through many nights that dipped into double digits below zero this winter, the tradeoff in maintenance has been necessary and worth it.
And, though I mentioned before that these types of generators are usually more expensive than those that aren't quiet inverters, I would recommend them over the big beasts, especially if you plan to travel with your generator — as many states and parks have regulations regarding a generator's carburetor, sound decibel, and other details.
But, as with all the topics in this series, it really depends on your situation and needs. What the nomadic vanlifer requires will probably differ quite a bit from the needs of an off-grid homesteader, and trial and error is very much a part of the process.
I think we can all attest to that, though!

Of course, you can also team up with those you encounter, but determining whether or not to trust anyone is a difficult prospect in a zombie apocalypse. The in-game chat function usually allows you to get a feel for your would-be teammates, and the psychological games that players engage in is almost as stressful as dealing with the zombie horde itself. Hearing a player yell "Friendly!" as they approach you must always be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes fellow survivors will offer equipment or consumables like cans of food or soda in order to prove their good intentions, but even this seemingly kind gesture can turn deadly in a matter of seconds.
The scariest thing about DayZ isn't the zombies themselves. It's the fact you're always truly alone and vulnerable.
I learned this the hard way near an abandoned hotel in the Cherno, one of the largest coastal cities on the map. I was hunkered down inside the lobby of the building with an assault rifle and a few basic supplies when I heard sniper shots coming from the tallest building in the city. While I attempted to pinpoint just where the shooter was, an unarmed survivor ran inside yelling at me to take cover. I explained that I knew where the sniper was, but I needed to leave the building in order to grab some food from the nearby market.
In what I thought was an almost suspiciously kind gesture, my new friend offered me his last can of beans and asked if we could team up. I graciously accepted, and asked him to put the beans in my backpack. As he crouched behind me to access my backpack's inventory, I knew instantly I had made a mistake. Then, I heard the click of the spare pistol I had stored in my pack being loaded. I turned around and before I could even plead for my life, I was dead on the ground. It was a momentary lapse in judgment, one that cost me my life and all the goodies I was carrying.
The notion that a player can turn from friend to foe, yet still be playing completely within the rules of the game is something entirely absent from the vast majority of multiplayer experiences. There are no predetermined teams here. The only thing telling you to either kill a player or let them live is your own mind. You can save a player from zombies, drag them to safety, and offer medical attention one second, and then have that same player put an axe into your skull just moments later. Not knowing who to trust is one of the scariest things in life, and that feeling permeates DayZ's unforgiving world
Teaming up with others does offer some very large benefits, however. If you become injured, the best way to regain your health is to scavenge a blood pack from a hospital. Unfortunately, blood packs can only be administered by a fellow player, and if you find yourself in a particularly dire situation - with a broken leg and no ability to even walk, for example - you may find yourself begging a nearby player to fix you up.
The scariest thing about DayZ isn't the zombies themselves - though their guttural moans and coughs are admittedly very creepy. It's the fact that no matter where you are on the map, who you're with, or what weapon you're holding, you're always truly alone and vulnerable. Players can turn on each other in an instant, and they do. You can be taken down by a fellow survivor who simply needed your can of soda, or be abandoned by your teammates after a swarm of zombies has you cornered, simply because they didn't want to waste their precious ammo.
The best part about this unrelenting tension is that the game itself isn't actually creating it - you are. Your mind will play tricks on you. You'll kill innocent players simply because your own negative thoughts have gotten the better of you. You'll fight against your own psyche, and you may reach a point where you wonder why a free game mod has given you more heart-pounding moments than any $60 title ever has.

For software and technology companies, billing and revenue is generally derived from the following elements; perpetual licenses, subscriptions, maintenance (potentially usage and/or hardware) and services. These different elements each have distinct rules to trigger billing and recognize revenue in accordance to local governing regulations. Finance tends to have a good handle on managing the rules and triggers across most elements, albeit some of this work may be managed manually with spreadsheets.
One area where finance tends to face significant challenges is in terms of determining when and how much to bill as well as how much can be recognized with services. This is a significant challenge since services generally account for 15 to 30 percent of the revenue within software and technology companies.
Recognizing the Gaps Between Services and Finance
The cause of this challenge is a systems and communication gap that tends to exist between finance and services. Finance tends to be completely reliant on manual forms of communication with services in order to determine when and what to bill and how much they can recognize. This manual process creates delays in billing and revenue reporting, and is prone to error.
So what are the top communication gaps between services and finance? Below is a list of the most common ones I've come across.
These problems can have a major impact on the business including delays in billing, negative impact on cash flow, delays in recognizing revenue as well as poor customer satisfaction.
Closing the Gap
Two key items are required to address this challenge. The first is to establish strong lines of communication between finance and services with repeatable processes based on best practices.
Secondly, those best practices must be supported by having ERP and PSA (Professional Services Automation) tightly integrated, often referred to as SRP (Services Resource Planning). SRP provides an integrated approach and enables a seamless process from order to cash including managing and tracking projects. Data can effortlessly flow across functional areas and proactively made available to the appropriate resources for any action or transaction that needs to occur. It also provides real-time visibility and allows services, finance as well as other areas of the business to consume the data they need for strong decision support as well as providing a 360-degree view of the entire business.
If these types of challenges are facing your services and finance teams, it's a very strong indication you've outgrown your manual processes and it's time to graduate to an integrated finance and professional services solution, such as NetSuite OpenAir.

Percy Lavon Julian was an internationally reputed scientist who undertook pioneering research work in chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants. His painstaking research led to industrial production of drugs like cortisone, steroids and birth control pills. Born as a grandson of a freed slave in the racially segregated United States of America, he had to fight at every step to reach his goal. As a young man he was denied proper education and had to go to Vienna to earn his Ph. D. Later, he was refused professorship at DePauw University even though he had by that time become well-known for synthesizing physostigmine, a drug essential for treating the glaucoma. At an older age, he had his house firebombed for daring to live in a white majority locality. Yet, he never gave up and went on to patent 130 products. In the end his persistence bore fruits. By and by, he began to gain recognition. In 1946, Reader's Digest, the popular monthly magazine published from the US, ran his life story under the title of "The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up". Indeed, he never gave up.

- Percy Lavon Julian was born in Montgomery, Alabama on April 11, 1899. His father James Julian was a mail clerk in the Railway Service of the United States Post Office and his mother Elizabeth Lena Julian was a school teacher. Percy was the eldest of their six children.During the time when Percy Julian was born racial segregation was a law in Alabama and lynching was not yet a federal crime. Percy started his education at a segregated elementary school and studied up to eighth grade. One day while walking in the woods he came across the body of a lynched man hanging from a tree. The memory stayed with him all his life.As there was no high school for African-American children in Montgomery Percy was forced to join Alabama State Norman School, which laid more stress on practical training like hat making or blacksmithing. It taught very little science. Percy was forced to quench his thirst for knowledge at his father's library.In 1916, he entered DePauw University, located in Greencastle, Indiana. It accepted African American students, but they were not allowed to stay in college dormitory. By that time, Percy had set his goal on becoming a chemist. So, he found work in a fraternity house, which offered boarding and lodging in lieu of salary and continued his studies.Because he came from a Normal School, which taught very little science, he had to take special classes. In spite of that, when he passed out in 1920, he was among the best boys of the class and received the highest grade. He also became a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and a valedictorian.Continue Reading BelowYou May LikeRecommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:Career
- In order to become a chemist, it was essential for Percy Lavon Julian to join a graduating school; but knew that nobody would take him because of his color. So he took up a teaching job at Fisk University, meant for African American students. He taught there for two years.Later one of Percy's old professors persuaded the Harvard University to allow him to do his M.S. Percy also received Austin Fellowship in chemistry, which solved the financial problem. He completed the course within a year and graduated in 1923. During this period, he started research work on organic chemistry.Percy also wanted to earn his Ph. D from Harvard University and to teach there. Although he was initially invited to join the university, later it was withdrawn on the ground that white students may not like to study under a black professor. In spite of that, he stayed back at Harvard for three more years accepting the post of an instructor.In 1926, Percy Julian joined West Virginia Collegiate Institute, meant for black student. The college had no infrastructure or laboratory and he was the only faculty at the department of chemistry. In spite of such hurdles, he started his research, synthesizing plant compounds like nicotine and ephedrine.In 1928, Julian went to Washington to join Howard University, a historically important black college in America. There he designed a chemistry laboratory at a cost of one million dollar.In 1929, while still working at the Howard University Julian received the Rockefeller Foundation fellowship. It enabled him to travel to Vienna and work under Ernst Späth, the famed Austrian chemist, who specialized in natural products. Julian's research at the University of Vienna led to discovery of new chemical compounds in a plant called corydalis cava. He received his Ph.D. in 1931, making him the third African American to receive Ph.D. in chemistry. Away from racially segregated America, he also enjoyed the taste of freedom possibly for the first time.On coming back, Julian joined the University of Howard; but soon he was caught up in the university politics and had to leave. In 1932, he joined DePauw University and continued with his research work. By that time, Joseph Pikl had joined him from Vienna.In 1933, he and Joseph Pikl completed the total synthesis of physostigmine, a drug essential for treating glaucoma. In nature, it is found in Calabar beans and that too in a tiny amount. Therefore, it was important to synthesize it in the laboratory.The research was earlier started by Robert Robinson of Oxford University. Although Robert was first to publish his thesis Julian and Pikl realized that it was impossible to produce physostigmine by following his process. They perfected the process and got the recognition they deserved.Continue Reading BelowIn 1936, Percy Lavon Julian joined Glidden, a chemical company in Chicago as Director of Research at their Soya Division. That is mainly because he could not find a university that would hire an African American professor. He also got an offer from Institute of Paper Chemistry, located in Appleton; but could not accept it because the blacks were not to spend the night inside the city.Julian and his team undertook extensive research works at Glidden. Under him, the company created a wide variety of products from soya bean such as lecithin, Aer-o-foam, stigmasterol etc. In 1953, Julian left Glidden mainly because it did not allow him to experiment on any other plant products.In 1954, Julian formed his own company Julian Laboratories and continued with his research work. It mainly stressed on research on steroids. However, now he tried to create steroids from Mexican yam and invented improved version of cortisone. He also set up factories at Mexico and Guatemala.In 1961, Julian sold his company for $2.3 million to Smith Kline, and started Julian Research Institute, a nonprofit organization. Its motto was to train young research chemist. By this time, he was the wealthiest African-American in the United States.Recommended Lists:

In 1933, he and his co-researcher Pikl perfected the process of synthesizing physostigmine, which led to its mass production and this in turn made treatment of glaucoma affordable for all.While at Glidden, Julian did extensive research on soya bean and invented many novel products from it. His first invention was a product called lecithin. It was used for preservation of food and also to make chocolate smooth. Aer-o-foam, a fire retardant used extensively during World War II by the US Navy, was also invented during this period.He also invented the method of producing large amount of stigmasterol, an important steroid that contains sex hormones such as progesterone. His invention led to better treatment during pregnancy and prevention of miscarriages.Julian also found a way to mass produce cortisone from stigmasterol. Cortisone was used in the treatment of inflammation and arthritis. However, prior to his invention, cortisone was extracted from cattle bile and was priced too high. After his invention its price was drastically reduced and became affordable for most.Awards & Achievements
- In 1947, Percy Lavon Julian was awarded with the Spingarn Medal by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In the same year, DePauw University awarded him with an honorary doctorate.Continue Reading BelowIn 1950, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce named him "Chicagoan of the Year."In 1968, Julian won the Chemical Pioneer Award given by the American Institute of Chemists.In 1973, Julian was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in recognitionof his contribution in the field of chemistry. He was the second African-American scientist to be inducted into this prestigious association.Personal Life & Legacy
- Percy Lavon Julian married Anna Roselle on December 24, 1935. She was a Ph.D. in Sociology, from University of Pennsylvania. The couple had two children Percy Lavon Julian, Jr. and Faith Roselle Julian. Percy Junior later became a prestigious civil rights lawyer in Madison, Wisconsin.In old age, Julian developed liver cancer and died on April 19, 1975 from it. He was buried in Elm Lawn Cemetery in Elmhurst, Illinois. Even today, many budding scientists are inspired by his life not only for the drugs he had invented, but also for the battle he had to fight for doing what he did.The legacy of Percy Lavon Julian is alive even to this day. Every year since 1975, the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers presents the Percy L. Julian Award for Pure and Applied Research in Science and Engineering.In 1990, Julian was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.In 1999, the American Chemical Society recognized Julian's synthesis of physostigmine as a National Historic Chemical Landmark.In 2011, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine named their qualifying exam preparation committee after Percy Julian.Translate Wiki to Spanish, French, Hindi, Portuguese

By Dr. Karen Shaw Becker
While clicking through a recent edition of an online pet food industry journal, I came across an article titled "5 fast factoids for pet food's strong future."1
Since I plan to continue to be a part of "pet food's strong future" by educating pet parents about the problems with processed diets and the benefits of healthier alternatives, I of course had to give the article a look-see. Here are the five "powerful anecdotes and examples" the author lists:
Let's take a look at each of these.
I can certainly agree with this, and I'm sure all of you reading here today can as well. According to the author, as people achieve middle-class status around the world, pets become more important to them. This makes sense. Humans are naturally motivated to expand their personal internal and external worlds once they're able to consistently meet their most basic survival needs for food, shelter and safety. A question pet food industry experts are asking, according to the author, is:
"As people around the world transition from lower economic levels to earning more and having more disposable income, what are they choosing to do with their increased purchasing power?"
"As people around the world transition from lower economic levels to earning more and having more disposable income, what are they choosing to do with their increased purchasing power?"
Based on extensive research, the experts found that people choose three things:
"Improving their nutrition (particularly buying and consuming more protein and meat), improving their shelter — and getting a pet, or better caring for their existing pets."
According to the author, this has "profound and positive implications" for the future of the pet food industry. Unfortunately, the next two items on her list suggest pet food producers are staying focused on grain-based formulas for cats and dogs.
A whopping 80 percent of commercial pet foods in the U.S. contain grains, and despite the expansion of grain-free formulas in the market, volume and sales growth is slowing. Since like all markets, the pet food market is cyclical, the author recommends that manufacturers consider what might come next.
"Perhaps it's ancient grains," she writes, "which are very popular in human food — and we all know how closely pet food trends mimic those in human food." This is, of course, another example of a human food trend crossing over to pet food for no good reason, since dogs and cats have no biological requirement for grains, even ancient ones.
There's no official definition of ancient grains. They're generally defined as grains and pseudocereals that have remained essentially unchanged by selective breeding over the last several hundred years. By contrast, modern wheat, which is constantly bred and changed, is not an ancient grain, nor is corn or rice.
Ancient grains, which include teff, amaranth, quinoa, millet, sorghum, spelt, farro, kamut, freekeh, einkorn and others, are typically marketed in the human food industry as healthier than modern grains. But when it comes to your dog's or cat's diet, I recommend eliminating all grains.
The only grains wild canines and felines receive from their natural diet are predigested in the stomach contents of prey animals. In contrast, most grain-based pet foods contain loads of it because grain is plentiful and cheap. Grain-based pet foods are pro-inflammatory, increase the glycemic load and are generally detrimental to the health of dogs and cats because as carnivores, they aren't designed to process food containing grain.
Since her audience, processed pet food producers, is focused on grain-based pet food, the author goes on to discuss the "potential" of cereal crop diversity to improve pet health, just as it supposedly does for human health.
"Studies across many species have shown a connection between cereal grain intake and lower risk of obesity," writes the author, "which means also decreasing the risk of fat cells, higher levels of inflammation in those cells and, in some cases, insulin resistance. One factor seems to be the diversity of cereal grains."
It appears she's focused here on obesity in pets, and the so-called benefits of grain-laden weight loss formulas. This is another ill-conceived crossover from the human food industry, where people are told to eat grains to lose weight and be healthier. (For a discussion on grains in your own diet, see Dr. Mercola's recent video and article How to Safely Bring Wheat Back Into Your Diet.")
Many people who fell for the myth that "fat free" foods are healthier 20 years ago realize now that fat doesn't make mammals fat, carbs make mammals fat. And carbs make pets fat. In fact, high-fat ketogenic diets are actually one of the best ways to help humans and pets manage their weight healthfully.
Additionally, low-fat, high-carb "weight loss" pet diets typically contain an enormous amount of fiber. The theory behind adding fiber is that it makes pets feel full. However, your dog's or cat's natural, appropriate fiber consumption is nowhere near the levels found in these foods.
All that fiber not only causes your pet to poop excessively, it can also block absorption of healthy nutrients into the small intestine. Too much fiber acts as a mechanical barrier, preventing trace minerals, vitamins and antioxidants from getting to and through the walls of your pet's gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Fiber may make your pet feel temporarily full, but he's not being satiated at the cellular level where it really counts. Chronic deprivation of nutrients to the cells can result in feelings of constant hunger. This is because your carnivorous dog or cat isn't getting enough protein to adequately sustain his biology.
And if his constant hunger keeps you shoveling more low-fat food at him, what you'll wind up with is a still-fat or even fatter pet that is overfed but under nourished. Next to water, animal protein is the most important nutrient for your dog or cat. Every cell of your pet's body requires protein and when he doesn't get enough of this essential nutrient, a host of negative side effects can occur.
The next most important nutrient for your pet is healthy, unadulterated fats. This means providing your pets with plenty of animal-based fats from grass fed, free-range sources.
When confronted with marketing of the latest-and-greatest in grain-based weight loss pet foods, your response as a savvy pet parent should be, "Since grains are biologically inappropriate nutrition for dogs and cats, it doesn't matter which or how many grains are contained in this pet food — I'm not buying it!"
Pathogens in pet food are the focus of a great deal of attention in recent years due to the extraordinary number of processed pet food recalls, and the potential for humans to be exposed to salmonella and other disease-causing microbes in pet food.
The author discusses recent findings about the cleanliness of different types of food processing surfaces such as concrete (floors) and rubber (workers' shoes) that tend to be overlooked. She also notes that in a test of different sanitizers on stainless steel surfaces, a form of medium-chain fatty acids (C6:C8:C10) showed surprisingly positive results.
The safety of pet food is also a big concern for raw diet producers, most of which are interested in exploring what nature offers in the way of pathogen control. Recently, I interviewed representatives from Raw Bistro pet fare on their use of bacteriophage technology, and Answers Pet Food on their use of fermentation to control foodborne pathogens in their raw diets.
The author writes about Canidae Farms, a sustainable farm from which the pet food company grows some of the ingredients used in their formulas. She visited the farm, and was impressed with Canidae's "… commitment to transparency with consumers, particularly in sourcing of its ingredients, and the way it is executing that strategy."
"Suffice it to say," she concludes "that Canidae's initiative may not make sense for every pet food company, but at least it should spur some ideas and questions to ponder."
"Suffice it to say," she concludes "that Canidae's initiative may not make sense for every pet food company, but at least it should spur some ideas and questions to ponder."
Hopefully more pet food manufacturers will follow Canidae's lead, but in the meantime, it's important to realize that sorting through marketing hype on pet food labels is not the best way to find a truly healthy, ethical pet food.
The term "natural," for example, can only be used for an "ingredient derived solely from plant, animal or mined sources," but it may have been "subject to physical processing, heat processing, rendering, purification, extraction, hydrolysis, enzymolysis or fermentation," according to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
This means even rendered pet foods are considered natural. Meanwhile, AAFCO does not allow the term human-grade on pet food labels unless it meets a stringent set of criteria that few pet food companies can meet.
If you're looking for pet food made from ethically raised animals then looking for the grass fed label makes sense, but this, too, is fraught with confusion, as some grass fed animals were only partially grass fed. When shopping for grass fed beef, look for the American Grassfed (AGA) label.
For other foods, like chicken and eggs, look for pastured or free-range chickens. Be aware that many loopholes exist with these terms as well, as even a chicken let outdoors on a tiny patio for a few minutes can be described as free-range.
True free-range chickens spend the majority of their time outdoors, roaming around for insects, worms and other treats.
Farms raising true grass fed beef and free-range chickens typically practice sustainable agriculture practices that are both ethical and environmentally friendly. Healthy, ethically raised meats can often be found at local farmers markets or co-ops.
The only way to know for sure whether the pet food you're buying is from ethically raised animals is to contact the manufacturer and verify their supply chain. Usually companies that go through the painstaking effort to make nontoxic, human-grade, non-GMO food discuss it extensively on their website, offering all the transparency you need to feel confident feeding their food.
Finding clean food and transparent companies isn't an easy task, unless the company is truly committed to producing a high-quality and humane product, in which case they'll probably be glad to discuss their ingredient sourcing with you (and it will most likely be a small manufacturer).
Ultimately, however, the best way to know what's going into your pet's food is to make it yourself. Making your dog's or cat's food yourself means you can select ingredients that are human-grade, organic, grass fed and/or free-range, and you can choose exactly which ingredients goes into each meal. Be sure to do your homework before taking the plunge, however, as it's crucial that your homemade pet food be species-appropriate and nutritionally balanced.

Snow, rain, ice, freezing temperatures, then moderating temperatures (again).
Those events, particularly when they're in that order – can cause headaches for road crews.
On Thursday, the Syracuse Division Highway Maintenance crew was out using a long reach excavator to remove debris and ice build-up at a pier near exit 42 along the New York State Thruway.
It's the bridge that carries the Thruway over the Canandaigua Outlet. The Thruway Authority said it would help alleviate potential ice dams and flooding concerns in the area.

Invesdor raises EUR 1 million to launch its European expansion
The Finland-based, licenced equity and debt crowdfunding platform Invesdor has raised a million euro crowdfunding round through its own service. The round had all together 143 investors from 16 different countries. Invesdor is using the funding and its EU licence to expand into other European markets.
"There are currently no truly cross-border platforms in the European crowdfunding market. We aim to be the number one source of European cross-border deal flow for investors around the world," says co-founder and CEO Lasse Mäkelä.
Mäkelä, an ex-Merrill Lynch investment banker, sees crowdfunding as a fairly straightforward digitalisation of the tried-and-true fundraising process.
"We have simply removed inefficiencies from the old process and made the deals more transparent, efficient and accessible to the public," he says. "The one major element in the crowdfunding model, and fintech in general, is understanding the regulation. It is a hurdle we are confident we have crossed."
The transaction sizes in North European equity crowdfunding have spiked since the Finnish financial supervisory authority made equity crowdfunding a regulated activity and granted Invesdor the first operating licence.
Invesdor is the first European crowdfunding platform to have been granted a MiFID licence for investment advice, reception and transmission of orders, and placing of financial instruments. The breadth of the licence will make it possible for Invesdor to not only accept investments from international investors but also to organise funding rounds for companies from anywhere in the EEA.

Crests are a way for you to customize which Heroic Abilities you want to emphasize for your Heroes. Crest components are acquired via the Purgatory Stages.
Crest ComponentsEdit
Each character's crest consists of 4 pieces which point up, down. left or right. Collectively, I'm calling this the "Crest Rose" as it looks similar to a Compass Rose on a map.
Those pieces are inserted into the Character's crest. When all four pieces are of the same Crest Type, the hero will receive a set bonus based on that type.
When you select a Crest Piece from the inventory, you will have 3 options as to what to do with it.
- Embed - This installs the piece into the corresponding portion of the Crest Rose which points in the same direction as the piece.
- Note: If there is already a piece in that slot of the Rose, you will be asked to confirm that you want to destroy the existing piece. If you want to keep that piece (either for another Hero or in order to Dissolve it, then you need to first select the piece in the Rose and choose to Remove it before Embedding the new piece.
- Rank Up - Allows you to level up your crest piece (even while it is in your inventory). This can allow you to see if the improved piece is really better than the existing one before replacing it.
- Dissolve - Allows you to Dissolve into Crest Essence to use for upgrading another piece.
Crest Types Edit
There are several types of crest pieces which can be used for form your Hero's crest. These include:
| Set Bonus
(At Max Quality)
|+20% Attack Rating
|+25% Hit Points
|+1500 Critical Damage
|Increase HP of whole team by 10% of own HP, does not stack.
|Recover HP equal to 30% of damage done.
|Defense +25%
|+50% Agility
|Damage (AoE)
|If attack is higher than target's, deal 2.5% additional damage for every 10% difference.
|Each turn recover HP equal to (40% PDef + 40% MDef).
|Gain 10% HP and Attack after a successful Resist.
Upgrading Crest PiecesEdit
Crest Pieces are ranked in power according to their star level ( to ), their Level (+0 to +15) and their Quality (Common, Fine, Rare, Epic, or Legendary). While the star level is dependent on the luck of the draw in the Category:Purgatory Stages or Crest Chests, you can increase the Crest Level and Crest Quality through the #Rank Up process.
Crest EssenceEdit
First a word about Crest Essence. Essence is required for ranking up your Crest pieces. The best source of Essence is through Crest Chests and other Event rewards. You can also obtain it by Dissolving unneeded Crest Pieces.
It takes more Essence for each level you're trying to add to a Crest Piece Rank. It also requires more based on the star level of the piece.
Rank UpEdit
The option to Rank Up a Crest Piece is available whether the piece is in your inventory or embedded in the Hero's Crest Rose already. It requires an escalating amount of gold and Crest Essence for each level up from +0 to +15. Also, keep in mind that you only have a chance to rank up each time you spend the gold and essence. It is not a guarantee.
You can also choose to spend Diamonds to rank up your crests. These seem to be more successful, however it is still a random chance; so you could spend the Diamonds for nothing. For that reason most people don't bother with that option unless they have deep pockets and are very close to a goal in their crest progression.
Upgrading Level Edit
When using the Rank Up function on a Crest piece, you have a chance to improve it to the next level. This chance varies based on the star level of the piece as well as what it's current level is when ranking it up.
Upgrading QualityEdit
Every three levels, you have may have a chance to upgrade the Quality level of your Crest Piece. The chance of that succeeding varies depending on the current Quality of the piece. Below are the chances of increasing Crest quality during improvement.
|Quality Change
|Level 3
|Level 6
|Level 9
|Level 12
|Level 15
|Common to Fine
|Fine to Rare
|Rare to Epic
|Epic to Legendary
Removing Crest PiecesEdit
You can select an embedded crest piece in the character's Crest Rose and choose to Remove it. Removing the crest will cost Diamonds however. The higher the quality of the crest piece, the more diamonds it will cost to remove it. For this reason, you should carefully consider your choices of Crest pieces and avoid embedding a piece just because you have it and the Hero has an empty slot in their Rose.
From time to time, GT Arcade has run in-game Events which have reduced the cost of removing a crest piece to zero. This is an excellent time to re-specialize your Heroes.
Dissolving Crest PiecesEdit
Dissolving a crest piece provides you with Crest Essence to use in upgrading other Crest pieces. The higher the quality and the more stars that the piece has, the more essence you will receive. If you have leveled up the piece, it will also refund a (small) portion of the Gold you used to upgrade the piece.
You can only dissolve Crest Pieces which are in your inventory. Meaning that you have to Remove an embedded crest piece before you can dissolve it.
Tips on CrestsEdit
I often seen questions about "What's the best crest for XYZ hero?" There are a few common rules that apply for most heroes.
- Important: If you're talking about an AoE Hero, and you want to dominate PvE content like the Wharf Boss, then equip them with a Duelist crest.
- Many PvE opponents in those "damage trial" style events have very low Attack ratings; so Duelist equipped AoE Heroes will inflict massive damage totals!
- Check their Runes - The hero's runes often define the role they are expected to play on a team. Choosing a Crest to further enhance the boosts their Runes offer will make them even better in that role.
- Example: If a DPS Hero has "Hit" and "Phy/Mag Attack" runes, then a set like Assault which buffs their Attack rating would help. On the other hand, if their runes lean more toward "Critical" and "Critical Damage", then Fury may be a better choice.
- An alternative would be to choose a Crest which benefits from the Hero's base ability scores. For instance, if the Hero naturally has a high Attack rating, then Duelist (which gives a damage bonus when the hero's Attack rating is higher than their opponents) would be another option.
- Absent the Runes, the character's Heroic Class may help, although there are exceptions to these guidelines:
- Heroes tend to lean more toward Critical hits (making Fury a good choice)
- and DPS heroes tend to do better with Assault
- Support type characters like Healers, Controllers, or Buffers may do better with Flash so that they can use their abilities early in the combat round, before the enemy gets to attack
- Tank type characters often use Aegis for the extra HP or Warden for the Defense buffs or Renew for the passive heal over time
- The more uncommon Crests like Blessing, Drain, and Duelist tend to be special cases for specific heroes who can take advantage of them
- Always go for full sets of 4 - The set bonuses are too valuable to give up
- In the long run, percent bonuses on things like Attack and Defense are better for you than specific numbers.
- HP is the exception to the above as 5 or 6 star Legendary Crest Pieces can offer 5000+ HP which is typically more than you'd get from a % buff over the hero's base HP score
You can also decide by your actual aim. For example, if you want to be the king of Wharf boss fights, it is highly recommended to assign Duelist Crest to your AoE Heroes. Have you ever seen a Summoner with that?
- Go try it now! Go on!! We'll wait...
You should also keep in mind some limits, like Blessing Crest (team HP buff) is fine on a hero, if you got only one in the team. However, hence that shared HP won't stack, additional Blessing Crests are wasted on your team. Also, Crit damage won't do anything special with your Healers (myth). Zweihander and other similar heroes should be fine with Aegis for the personal HP buff.
You should also keep in mind that a Duelist might sound like the best option for a hero with high attack but that might not take you much further if you're fighting enemies with similar levels of Attack skills (e.g. PvP). Duelist works great for boss fights and against some tanks, having rather low attack (e.g. Night Sentinel vs. Elder Dwarf). You may think this makes it a good choice for your tank buster type characters (e.g. Pyrona) however, pay attention to the frequency and damage done by critical hits. Maybe a crit based crest can be even better?
Assault is good, but might not the best, choice for many hero types. Some (like Void Shadow (aka Doom Envoy), looks rather fine with it.
Resistance based Crests are good for tanks who rely a lot on Parry (e.g. Valkyrie, Death Slayer, etc.).
Who should benefit more from HP? Check out Elder Dwarf and similar heroes. His skills benefit more from HP, than Defense etc.
You shall also keep in mind that while some Crests looks cool for a certain hero Runes and basic values, but a corresponding Crest might not improve their Skills! For example, you can assign Attack or Crit based Crests to Jack Hallow, but I'm pretty sure he can do much more with his special skill - which is based on Agility value.

The aim of this treatment planning comparison study was to explore different spinal irradiation techniques with respect to the risk of late side-effects, particularly radiation-induced cancer. The radiotherapy techniques compared were conventional photon therapy, intensity modulated x-ray therapy (IMXT), conventional electron therapy, intensity/energy modulated electron therapy (IMET) and proton therapy (IMPT).CT images for radiotherapy use from five children, median age 8 and diagnosed with medulloblastoma, were selected for this study. Target volumes and organs at risk were defined in 3-D. Treatment plans using conventional photon therapy, IMXT, conventional electron therapy, IMET and IMPT were set up. The probability of normal tissue complication (NTCP) and the risk of cancer induction were calculated using models with parameters-sets taken from published data for the general population; dose data were taken from dose volume histograms (DVH). Similar dose distributions in the targets were achieved with all techniques but the absorbed doses in the organs-at-risk varied significantly between the different techniques. The NTCP models based on available data predicted very low probabilities for side-effects in all cases. However, the effective mean doses outside the target volumes, and thus the predicted risk of cancer induction, varied significantly between the techniques. The highest lifetime risk of secondary cancers was estimated for IMXT (30%). The lowest risk was found with IMPT (4%). The risks associated with conventional photon therapy, electron therapy and IMET were 20%, 21% and 15%, respectively. This model study shows that spinal irradiation of young children with photon and electron techniques results in a substantial risk of radiation-induced secondary cancers. Multiple beam IMXT seems to be associated with a particularly high risk of secondary cancer induction. To minimise this risk, IMPT should be the treatment of choice. If proton therapy is not available, advanced electron therapy may provide a better alternative.
In modern, advanced radiotherapy (e.g. intensity modulated photon radiotherapy, IMXT) the delivery time for each fraction becomes prolonged to 10-20 minutes compared with the conventional, commonly 2-5 minutes. The biological effect of this prolongation is not fully known.
The large number of beam directions in IMXT commonly leads to a large integral dose in the patient. Electrons would reduce the integral dose but are not suitable for treating deep-seated tumour, due to their limited penetration in tissues. By combining electron and photon beams, the dose distributions may be improved compared with either used alone. One obstacle for using electron beams in clinical routine is that there is no available treatment planning systems that optimise electron beam treatments in a similar way as for IMXT. Protons have an even more pronounced dose fall-off, larger penetration depth and less penumbra widening than electrons and are therefore more suitable for advanced radiotherapy. However, proton facilities optimised for advanced radiotherapy are not commonly available. In some instances electron beams may be an acceptable surrogate.
The first part of this study is an experimental in vitro study where the situation in a tumour during fractionated radiotherapy is simulated. The effect of the prolonged fraction time is compared with the predictions by radiobiological models. The second part is a treatment planning study to analyse the mixing of electron and photon beams for at complex target volume in comparison with IMXT. In the next step a research version of an electron beam optimiser was used for the improvement of treatment plans. The aim was to develop a method for translating crude energy and intensity matrices for optimised electrons into a deliverable treatment plan without destroying the dose distribution. In the final part, different methods of treating the spinal canal in medulloblastoma were explored in a treatment planning study that was evaluated with biological models for estimating risks for late radiation effects.
The effect on cell survival of prolonging fraction time at conventional doses/fraction is significant in an in vitro system. This effect is underestimated by biological models. Prolonging the fraction time will spare tissues with a fast DNA repair. Thus, there is a risk for sparing tumours. The mixed electron and photon beam technique has the potential to treat deep-seated tumours. Compared with IMXT the number of beams can be reduced and as a consequence, the time for each fraction could be kept shorter. The integral dose in the patient will also be lower. The mixed beam technique could potentially be further improved if automatic optimisation for electrons was available. The results suggest that optimisation and segmentation can be automated, and a deliverable treatment plan can be obtained with simple procedures without destroying the quality of the dose distribution. The integral dose in patients may lead to late radiation side effects. In childhood cancers the risk for development of radiation induced cancers is a reality and the integral dose outside the target volume should be minimised. Based on models for cancer induction, protons show the lowest risk while electrons have some benefit compared with different photon techniques. All methods are able to similarly well treat the target volume.

I've been releasing albums to iTunes and other digital stores for many years and I've historically used Tunecore's service to aggregate my music. Over the past couple years, I have found their incremental changes intolerable and started seeking a new service to push my label's music through. I did a ton of searching around and ultimately decided to give Record Union a shot. I first signed up a while ago, and have been please so figured it is time to do a Tunecore vs Record Union comparison.
Request an invite!
Record Union only gives the first release free if you have an invite code, which I can make for you. Fill out this form and I will get one to you as soon as I can!
I first started using Tunecore when they were very new. Their pricing model seemed fair to me, $20 sign up, $20 renew fee. They got your music on all the major digital stores including iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc. My complaints started when Tunecore did two things:
- Raised the renewal fee to $50 annually, from $20. Whether the $50 is reasonable or not wasn't the issue to me. The issue was adding an extra 150% to a service I had been faithfully using for years. I get that there has been some economic inflation, but nothing like that!
- On top of that, they had set all albums to automatically renew, with no option to turn the auto-renew off without opening a support ticket. Maybe this has changed since I was there last, but the fact that this ever happened speaks volumes about the sort of business priorities they have.
On the first point, $50 is just excessive for an annual renewal fee, especially in today's music world where smaller, more frequent releases is a better practice than longer, less frequent releases. I could have a yearly bill in the thousands of dollars because I release a lot of small albums. Being independent and in a tight niche, this can make up more than a modest percentage of my overall sales.
The second point is where I drew the line. This is similar to the same dubious practice that got AOL in trouble years back. When you do email Tunecore's support to turn off auto-renew, they never do it the first email, they send you a sales pitch email back trying to prevent you from turn the auto-renew off. Also, if you turn auto-renew off and then manually renew your album at the appropriate time, auto-renew comes right back on. Or at least it did before I removed my whole catalog from their system.
Tunecore does have these things going for them, by way of comparison:
- Their User Interface is really nice and intuitive. Uploading albums is easy and gathering your metrics similarly simple.
- They do not charge different prices depending on your store selection. That $50 gets your album on every digital store they aggregate to. I believe you can turn off stores you don't want to be on, but I can't recall. Personally, I only care about getting my music on certain stores but if you want your stuff everywhere, this is a convenient feature.
- Despite my complaints about the auto-renew, Tunecore's support team is smart, friendly and reasonably quick to address issues.
If you can look past the nefarious business practices (I can't), Tunecore's service is nice if you're looking for a premium service. Not sure why you would, but if you want it, it is there.
Record Union
As I mentioned, I signed up for Record Union back in 2012. I wanted to let an album sit on there for a bit to see how reporting and payouts went before I made the full switch over from Tunecore. Payments started rolling in around 3 months in, which I recall is fairly similar to Tunecore on initial release.
Record Union's Strong Points
- Pricing. The pricing structure is a bit more complicated than Tunecore's but is vastly less expensive. Your price point can vary based on 1) How many stores you want it to go to 2) How many tracks your album has and 3) What percentage of the sales you want to keep, i.e., you can pay extra to keep a bigger cut. A full album is about $16 for most important stores plus a barcode fee (I think a one time $8 fee per album). The renewal fee is even less expensive. Compared to $50 annually, the difference is huge when multiplied over dozens of albums and EPs. The annual renewal seems to be about $10 or less. A $40 per album difference is gigantic once you're past releasing just a couple albums.
- A&R program. You can sign up for their A&R program which allows you to recruit artists. If you get a band to sign up with Record Union and they use your invitation, you get a small percentage on their album sales (up to 7.5%). The artist gets rewarded with a free release and UPC codes, which makes it a pretty compelling incentive for both parties. The A&R program opens up some interesting opportunities, which is part of what got me to sign up for Record Union, besides the pricing and my ongoing irritation with Tunecore.
- Reporting and metrics are fairly intuitive and easy to get to.
- Support. I can't make any statement about their support department because I haven't had to contact them. This is a positive. I haven't run into any actual problems using the system, beyond the tedious task of publish an album.
- Low renewal fees. The renewal fees are reduced. If you decide to not pay the annual renewal fee, you have the option to keep it on the stores at no fee. They keep any money you earn, but with the popularity of streaming services like Spotify, it is possible this is a perk if you are trying to get your music out there but not necessarily making a lot of money from it.
So Record Union is inexpensive and has a nice referral program. The downsides:
- Their User Interface is terrible. Uploading an album for release is a bit of work. You upload the music first. Then you go to a new screen to basically import the songs to your catalog, where you have to open each song onto its own page, add the title and artist name and other details. Once you've imported all the songs, then you start creating a release by then adding the imported songs to an album. Tunecore was a lot easier here. In my mind, I should be able to choose "release album", drop the tracks I want in the correct order, then be given a screen where I can edit the details for all the songs as needed. Their system doesn't make any effort to determine the name of the song from the file name, you have to go to "edit" for each individual track, input the details, save, then repeat for EVERY TRACK. This is obnoxious. It is fixable, but I'm not sure what sort of development budget they have, so it may remain inconvenient.
- I was a little nervous about using a newer aggregator. One of the things that kept me with Tunecore is that they were the oldest and most established businesses of the sort and I don't see them ever disappearing. No idea how stable Record Union's business model is, and if they go under I'd have to migrate my releases again, which is a hassle. I'd probably roll with CDBaby even vs. Tunecore, but the situation bears noting.
Bottom Line
I still think Record Union is the better choice, particularly with the A&R program. If you are not churning out albums frequently and make a LOT of sales, Tunecore may be a fair option for you as a more premium, reliable service.
Record Union is better if you're concerned with price and want a no frills service that does strictly what you need it to do: Put your music on digital stores. It really isn't that complicated and I find their service fills the role perfectly.
Record Union Invite
If you're independent, I recommend giving Record Union a shot. If I email you an invitation, you get these:
After the first year, you will pay the normal rates for distribution.
If you would like a free year and a UPC code, just fill out this form and I'll have an invitation sent via email as soon as I can. If you submit this, be on the lookout for an email within 24 hours.
Request an invite!
Record Union only gives the first release free if you have an invite code, which I can make for you. Fill out this form and I will get one to you as soon as I can!

The City Ring of Copenhagen opens in September
So far 2.7 billion euros have been spent on the new Metro line
- May 29, 2019 17:30
- Monika Dimitrova
The new Metro line in Copenhagen will open at the end of September 2019. The City Ring was due to open in June, but the Metro Company has stated that a key milestone in construction has not been reached and work at the stations themselves is behind schedule. The Metro Company hopes to be able to inform the public of a more precise opening date soon.
The City Ring will link the inner city with Østerbro, Nøørebro, Vesterbro and Frederiksberg via 17 stations. It is expected that 300,000 passengers will use the City Ring on a daily basis. It will be a fully automated line, using driverless trains and capable of routine 24/7 operations. The stations are intentionally similar to the Copenhagen Metro's existing ones. It is projected that up to 34 million passengers will eventually switch from buses to using the Metro each year. The massive project, the biggest in Denmark in 400 years, is estimated to have cost the state 25.9 billion kroner (2.7 billion euros).

It is here at last. The 11th of January, a day I have been anticipating since well before Christmas. The reason I was looking forward to today was that it was the date I had set for catching myself on. The first of January would have been far too soon. A body hasn't even finished the Christmas food, never mind the alcohol and here at Nellybert's we were also receiving unsolicited donations of other people's Christmas food and drink. Tired of eating pannatone? Take it to Cully. A surfeit of Mr Kipling's mince pies? Nelly will soon redd those up. You don't actually like Bailey's Irish Cream? Gorby-guts does. She puts it in her coffee instead of milk and reels about until bedtime.
I began by weighing myself (a rarity) then I reported the result to Bert who said,
You're not! I have a heifer calf out there doesn't even weigh that much.
I had a look at those calves this morning and thought to myself I couldn't possibly be as heavy as them. At a pinch, if he really had to, I reckon Bert could lift me bodily. There is no doubt he'd do himself a mischief if he did but there is no way on earth he could pick up any of those calves.
How did the day go? It went well. I ate moderate amounts of healthy food and felt the better for it. There was just one thing. I had the strangest feeling, a feeling I haven't experienced for a very long time, a kind of flutteriness in the belly area. I believe it might be called 'peckish'.
So I distracted myself by researching typical weights of summer born Hereford heifers. That Bert! I'm only slightly above a third of what those calves (probably) weigh.
