How To Improve Your Chances Of Getting A Mortgage Loan
If you're hoping to own the home of your dreams one day, you'll eventually need to apply for a mortgage. But if you're concerned about possibly not being able to get a loan, here's some advice to help increase your chances of getting a mortgage.
Improve Your FICO Score
Your FICO score reflects your behavior as a borrower over time. As such, it could take months or even years to see a noticeable improvement.
So if you have bad credit history that's dragging down your score, or if you want to raise a "good" score to an "excellent" score, take action to improve your score well before you apply for a mortgage loan. Here are a few steps you can take.
Pay Your Bills On Time. Your reputation for paying back the money you've borrowed accounts for the largest portion (35%) of your FICO score. If you forget when bills are due, consider setting up automatic payments to make sure bills get paid by their due date.
Reduce Your Credit Card Balances. The amount of money you owe makes up the second largest portion (30%) of your FICO score. Having cards that are close to being maxed out will drag down your score.
Don't Close Existing Credit Cards. The longer you manage debt successfully, the better a loan prospect you are. Part of your FICO score is a reflection of how long you've had your oldest account and the average age of all your accounts.
Don't Apply For A Lot Of New Credit. As previously mentioned, lenders look at how long you've maintained your accounts, and like to see responsible payment over time. So if you open a lot of new accounts at once, you'll look desperate for quick cash. Lenders see this as a red flag, so this can lower your FICO score.
Stay At Your Job
Mortgage lenders like income stability. If you're a job hopper, or if you leave your job soon before you apply for a loan, you might look like a higher risk than if you've been employed consistently over the past several years.
Reduce Your Overall Debt
Lenders use the 28/36 rule to identify low-risk borrowers. This rule states that your principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI) shouldn't exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. Also, your total monthly debt (PITI, credit cards, auto loans, etc.) shouldn't exceed 36% of your gross monthly income. If your debt exceeds these percentages, lenders will hold back the amount that they're willing to lend you.
Boost Your Down Payment
The bigger the investment you make out of your own pocket, the more committed you'll be to ownership, and the less likely you are to default on your mortgage. So if you can invest more than 20% upfront towards the purchase of your home, it'll be easier to get a loan.
And as an added benefit, you'll receive a lower interest rate on your loan, and you won't be required to pay private mortgage insurance.
What other advice do you have to get approved for a mortgage loan?

It is no surprise that two organizations of my fellow oncologists – doctors who deal every day with the gritty reality of fatal disease – have contradicted the California Medical Association, the large doctors' lobby that has declared its neutrality to the passage of the bill. Indifference – how very telling.
I urge Californians not to be indifferent, but to tell their legislators of their firm opposition to SB 128.
I have been an oncologist for more than 30 years. I have also been a cancer patient. I have treated hundreds of patients for depression complicated by thoughts of suicide. And I, too, have sought treatment when I developed that illness. Thus, I have had ample opportunity to consider death, suicide and assisted suicide from both sides of the stethoscope. Let me tell you what I've learned.
People with terminal illnesses do not seek suicide, assisted or otherwise, because of pain. Patients in pain seek pain control, not death. Fortunately, modern medicine can reduce pain to ordinary levels that we all have experienced. The terminally ill do not seek suicide, assisted or otherwise, because of the burden of treatment. Patients who find treatment burdensome rightly have the option of simply discontinuing treatment.
Rather, without exception, those patients who have asked me to hasten their death did so out of despair. They despaired of having lives of value, of being the object of the loving care of others. They mistook being dependent for being a burden, or mistook being a burden for being contemptible. They were sick and weak, and mistook uselessness for worthlessness. Despair is indeed the sickness unto death.
My job as their physician is to help them through this existential crisis, to help them recognize the intrinsic value that remains within them despite their advanced illness.
I remember one particularly challenging case. A middle-aged man with recurrent cancer and a few weeks to live, a petty criminal estranged from his family, asked me why God was still keeping him alive when all he wanted was to die. Such conversations demand bracing honesty. I told him that I really didn't know, and suggested that it was his job to discover the reason. A few weeks later, shortly before his death, he told me that he had taken my counsel to heart, and had re-established rapport with his son. He thanked me for having refused his earlier request for assisted suicide, and tearfully told me that these had been the best weeks of his life.
A doctor whose response to a request for assisted suicide is a scribbled prescription for a lethal drug does his patient the terrible disservice of abandonment. It is a tacit admission that the doctor agrees that the patient's life is of no value. It is hard to imagine a more contemptuous act.
In the relationship with a sick and despairing patient, the doctor is already too powerful. This is true of patients from the upper crust of society and more true of patients who are poor, disabled, immigrant or ethnic minorities. Assisted-suicide laws empower the same physicians who have diagnosed – or misdiagnosed – their patients as having a life-limiting disease to give them a prescription for a lethal drug, instead of honestly attempting to relieve their despair.
Eric Chevlen is an oncologist and pain medicine specialist in Youngstown, Ohio, who spent half his career practicing in Northern California.

The circular should be issued to all holders of BWR Operating Licenses or Construction Permits excepting those listed in Enclosure 2. Also enclosed is a draft copy of the transmittal letter.

IE Circular 78-12 CONTACT: C. J. DeBevec, IE 49-28180 . (Transmittal letter for IE Circular 78-12, to each holder of a BWR Operating License or Construction Permit excepting to those listed as non-applicable BWR plants) Addressee: The enclosed IE Circular No. 78-12, is forwarded to you for information. No written response is required. Should you have any questions related to your understanding of this matter, please contact this office. Sincerely, Signature (Regional Director) Enclosures: 1. IE Circular No. 78-12 2. List of IE-Circulars Issued for 1978 . List of Non-Applicable BWR Plants The BWR plants listed below do not have a HPCI system or if they have a HPCI system they use a different steam turbine. For these reasons the enclosed Circular should not be issued to the licensees of these plants. Plants in Region I Millstone Unit No. 1 Nine Mile Point Unit No. 1 Oyster Creek Plants in Region III Big Rock Point Dresden Unit Nos. 1, 2 and 3 La Crosse Quad Cities Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Plant in Region V Humboldt Bay . UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT WASHINGTON D. C. 20555 June 30, 1978 IE Circular No. 78-12 HPCI TURBINE CONTROL VALVE LIFT ROD BENDING In March 1977, during routine surveillance testing of the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system at Cooper Nuclear Station, it was found that the minimum turbine speed attainable via control valve regulation by the speed governor was 4000 rpm. This indicated that the control valves were remaining partially open even though the control system was sending a shut signal. The HPCI turbine is manufactured by the Terry Steam Turbine Company. Investigation revealed that the control valve lift rods were bent. The initial cause was thought to be improper linkage length adjustments causing positive overtravel in the closed position. Subsequent review, while not discounting the previous conclusions, determined that the bending may have resulted from binding due to scale or rust buildup on the rods. The control valve lift rods have a series of circumferential reliefs for steam leakage control. Material wedging between the rod relief area and the rod bushing in the steam chest could cause momentary seizure and bending of the lift rods during the rapid closure action associated with a quick start. Subsequent to this event a review was made to determine the extent of a possible generic problem in the area. It was determined that the problem affects only the HPCI turbine with its multiple control valves; other applications using Terry Turbines, as in the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) in BWRs and the Auxiliary Feedwater Pump in PWRs, are not affected since they incorporate a different control system. During the review, GE representatives were consulted and it was learned that bent lift rods had been reported at four operating BWRs. In response, GE issued Service Information Letter (SIL) No. 223, dated July 8, 1977 and associated instruction/drawing sheets to GE nuclear power facilities having HPCI turbines. That SIL together with the instruction/drawing sheets identified the control valve lift rod problem and the recommended corrective action. The recommended action by GE for BWR facilities with a HPCI turbine as set forth in the SIL is quoted as follows: 1 of 2 . IE Circular No. 78-12 June 30, 1978 "1. Examine the control valve linkage assembly for any evidence of binding, rust or scale accumulation. Examine the lift rod for evidence of bending. Damaged lift rods should be replaced. Do not attempt to rework or straighten. "2. Verify proper control valve linkage lengths as defined on the lever diagram contained in Section 9 of your HPCI Terry turbine instruction manual. These measures should be taken with the turbine in the cold condition. "3. Exercise the control valve linkage on a weekly basis, either manually or by starting the auxiliary oil pump, and verify total valve travel and freedom of movement. "Immediately report any abnormal conditions noted in the above checks to your local General Electric service representative. "In addition, General Electric recommends that BWR operators install a linkage modification which will reduce the bending movement on the lift rods during opening and closing cycles. The hardware and an FDI detailing installation instructions will be made available at no charge in approximately 3 months. Following installation and check out of this modification, the weekly check (item 3 above) may be discontinued." All holders of boiling water reactor operating licenses or construction permits for facilities with a HPCI Terry Turbine should be aware of the possibility of a scale or corrosion product buildup in the steam chest bushing area and possible lift rod seizure. The information and recommendation provided by General Electric should be referred to for appropriate corrective action. No written response to this Circular is required. If you require additional information regarding this matter, contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office. 2 of 2

And in more camera news today, Samsung has just introduced a new innovative mirrorless camera equipped with the world's first i-Function lens.
The launch of the NX100 follows the success of the NX10, Samsung's first mirrorless camera and the first in the world to feature an APS-C size sensor, which has changed the way photographers across the globe take pictures, and raised the bar for the industry as a whole. The NX100 shares the industry leading technology of NX10, such as an APS-C size sensor for quality images and a 3-inch AMOLED screen for easy and clear viewing. However, with the NX100, Samsung takes the mirrorless camera to the next level, by incorporating the innovations of the NX10 and improving other areas of the camera's performance and design. While the body of the camera is slim, sleek, and stylish, the NX100 also features the intuitive i-Function lens which allows users to control their camera through the lens for the first time. The NX100 also boasts one of the fastest AF on the market today, which ensures that users never miss a moment, and an ISO that is raised to a maximum of 6400 for action shots.
The design of the NX100 is inspired by the simple shape of dew forming on a leaf, which can be seen on the camera's shutter button and curved body, which comes in two different colors; black and brown. The lightweight, compact and modern design makes the camera portable, allowing users with a creative flair to carry the NX100 with them anywhere and for any occasion. The NX100 is more than just a camera; it is both a creative tool and an artistic object that makes a bold style statement everywhere it goes.
The fun doesn't stop with the still image options – the NX100 supports HD movie recording at 720P, so that memories can stay alive in their finest details. The NX100 also contains a 'Sound Picture' mode, which can record audio when a photo is taken enriching the experience. To ensure the perfect quality of every image, even when lenses are being regularly changed, the NX100 also features a supersonic dust reduction feature to remove foreign particles from the lens before shooting.
The NX100 will be equipped with a range of innovative lenses and accessories to further enhance the user's experience. At launch, the lens line-up includes a compact zoom 20-50mm lens to provide both high image quality and portability. A small and light 20mm wide angle Pancake lens will be introduced shortly after. Two additional specialized lenses will be available in the first half of 2011 – a 60mm Macro lens and 18-200mm Super Zoom lens. To expand the lens line-up even further, three more lenses will be introduced by the second half of 2011, including 16mm, 85mm, and 16-80mm lenses. The NX system will be further enhanced with more accessories, including an Electronic Viewfinder, Flash and GPS tracker to capture your exact geographical location.

Tuesdays really seem to swing around quickly now I have a dedicated thing to write about each week.
Here are the lists.
I couldn't find any packs of peppers without green ones in them so ended up buying a bag of small ones from Tesco when I went to the library, I also bought a butternut squash and a jar of cinnamon. This drove me over budget for a total spend this week of £16.30. Yes the £1.30 will be coming out of next week, it's not good but I stand by all my purchases!
I properly meal prepped this week, getting the 2 week old pineapple chopped and in pots for work snacks before it died and had to be thrown away (I hate waste!). I chopped up the butternut squash and roasted it with onions and the courgette and parsnips that were in the fridge and needed using up. I used some carrots that had built up over the last weeks to make carrot cake muffins. (Some for me, some for work and some to take to Claire and Ryan later in the week!). I made parsley and garlic butter too and I baked a loaf of bread (half white/half wholemeal because I'm all about balance!)
Breakfasts were breakfast wraps. They had egg, roasted vegetables, black beans and a little cheese in them, I made 5 and froze the remaining 3 as I'll use them when I have a three day work week after Easter!
Lunches were these with a chopped salad of peppers, carrots and mushrooms.Dinners were more interesting, I made a lemon and mushroom orzo with a chicken leg that was fabulous but needs some refinement and less lemon zest and which I completely didn't take a photo of..
I ate mushrooms on toast because I could and I was tired and it's a fabulous meal. In a concession to health I also roasted the baby carrots and peppers to have with it..I finished off the last of the osteotomy bean stew, that I made back in October and needed to be rescued from the freezer and eaten or thrown away! That with rice and some of the roasted vegetables was a good dinner.
On St Patrick's Day, I had last cottage pie that I made after Christmas with peas. This was also a freezer meal and had potato in it and thus Irish (ish). I also had a Guinness because while I don't do 'paddywhackery' or we're all Irish (I'm not I have Irish grandparents) an excuse to drink Guinness should not be missed!
Friday was a return to sausage and spinach pizza.
A relearned lesson about how useful I find food preparation at the weekend. It's not just that it helps make my work week more simple. It seems that a full fridge, frees up space in my head so I can be creative. I can more effectively see what I have in the house that needs to be used and it's easier to be creative about menu planning for the next week.
Making the carrot cake muffins was nice too because it's been a while and I promised Sarah something for her birthday, which it coming up.

"Nine years ago, my husband and I decided to put a 1500 sq ft addition on our home with Earl Weaver Contractors instead of buying a larger home. We must say, we have never regretted it for one minute. Delmas Gehman, Manager of the project, was amazing to work with, as were all of the crew. To this day, if I have an electric issue, plumbing issue, furnace issue, I text Delmas, and always get a prompt response to my concern. A few weeks ago, I had a pipe freeze in the old part of our home. Delmas first came out to diagnose the problem, and then sent Tim, and a helper to insulate, and remedy the situation. Another job well done. John Mark has also been to our home numerous times to fix something, and the job always gets done…and gets done right. It is nice to have peace of mind, that after 9 years, we can still have the same outstanding service that we had when we went through the 6-7 month addition to our home. We have highly recommended Earl Weaver Contractors over the years…..mainly, because they are honest, hardworking, caring, dedicated and true craftsmen. Thank you all for the continued good service."
— Randy & Lynn Hoffman, Lebanon, PA
Many thanks for all the hard work and kindnesses you and all your men provided us. We will certainly recommend your company Earl Weaver and I am sure we will also need some work in the future for our house and I will call.
Alex Mohrsville, PA
The only way to describe Delmas and the crew of Earl Weaver Construction is outstanding. The craftsmanship, professionalism and service are second to none. Thanks for everything! Looking forward to future projects. Jim and Beth B.
— Jim and Beth Berret, Sinking Spring, PA
In the recent past your firm has performed numerous construction jobs for me including installation of a whole house generator, a circuit breaker box, electric and manual well pumps, door hinges, and surge suppressors, as well as repairs to a roof gutter, and (the latest project) replacement of an under lane drainage pipe. Consistently evident throughout these projects has been a high level of expertise. I thank you for this continuing quality of performance.
— R. Bell | Robesonia, PA
Robert Bell
We want to thank Delmas and the entire crew at Earl Weaver Contractors. We are extremely pleased with the addition.

"We received several quotes from companies. Some were not explained well. We went with Earl Weaver because they explained everything in detail and the quote was great. They came out and worked hard. Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend them."
Donna Albanezi (Google review)
Thank you so very much for the timely service for our broken water heater – one half day turnaround. Exemplary service, well beyond the call of duty. Gratefully and with appreciation,
— John & Melissa, Lebanon, PA
Clarence and I want to tell you we are overjoyed with the installation of the air conditioning system. The men working on this project are to be commended on the thoroughness of the work performed.
— Clarence and Rose K, Lebanon County
Delmas and his crew are honest, upstanding people. They are true to their word and do first class work.You will never have to worry about the quality of their work or them not doing what they have promised to do. We would recommend them to anybody looking for a builder.
— Tony & Catherine, Lebanon County
Delmas and the guys at Earl Weaver Contractors were amazing to work with. My husband and I had them expand our garage that was already existing. They seamlessly blended the old house with the new. They were always professionals and respectful of our house and time. Our new garage offers plenty of space and is no longer freezing cold in the winter.
A year later we rehired Delmas and his crew to complete our patio and install a natural gas fire pit and grill. Just like last time we were completely impressed with the professionalism and outcome. A crew member even prevented a dangerous situation when he discovered 2 gas leaks that our air conditioning/heater service technicians (from another company) did not know existed.
You cannot go wrong choosing to work with Earl Weaver Contractors!!!! I will never go with anyone else for home repair/remodel. I only wish I had know about their company when I first built my home.
Chris and Jeanine S. Lebanon, PA
Just completed another project, this one to install a new propane heating system. It was a pleasure working with Delmas and the crew from Weaver. As I have come to expect, their work was meticulous. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Looking forward to working with them on future home remodeling and upgrade projects!
- Bob Manning | Lebanon, PA |
Earl, Delmas, and the entire building and excavating crew, Thank you for a job well done from start to finish. It was a pleasure to have you build our house.

Earl Weaver Contractors are very knowledgeable. No question goes unanswered and nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend this contractor.

Ray and Kathy Cressona, PA
Very professional, friendly people. Had generator installed in two days, no mess, everything was left in perfect condition. Yes, I recommend this dealer.
Jaimi1212 Annville, PA
Thanks Delmas and the entire Earl Weaver crew for building our house and then our garage also! Your craftsmanship is second to none, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to build for us. With Weavers I know it's done right the first time!

We were out of hot water and John Mark was literally there within an hour to repair our boiler! We can always be assured of prompt and efficient service from your company and professional expertise. We have never been disappointed. Thanks for the great service!
— Darin and Sheila M., Myerstown, PA
We had another positive experience with the Weaver family! When we started looking at home generators, we focused on Generac and were pleased to find that Earl Weaver Contractors was a dealer. Delmas provided a comprehensive proposal, outlining our options and the pricing and benefits for each. This allowed us to make an informed decision. They started the work in the timeframe promised and were finished in under two days. The job was done with the same attention to detail that we had come to expect. We have already recommended Generac and Weaver Contractors to friends and neighbors! Yes, I recommend this dealer.
— Bob and Barb M.
Thank you once again for coming to our aid so quickly when our well went dry. We appreciate greatly John Mark's response that Saturday which made acquiring the well drills quickly. Then, having your crew hooking up the water to our house as soon as possible! What a blessing you were to us! I have a new appreciation for running water!
Praying that you have a rewarding year in business! May the Lord richly bless you for your kindness, your efficient efforts, and your time in serving us & meeting our need!
Karen & Kurt, Lebanon, PA

We decided to look into a backup whole house automatic backup generator. Contacted Generac and were provided the name of Earl Weaver Contractors, certified by Generac for generator installations.
First, Delmas Gehman, CEO/President took our call and subsequently visited our home to conduct a technical survey to determine the generator capacity our home would require for complete whole house load demand. Delmas is a very respectable, pleasant and honest person and made us feel completely comfortable in our decision making. We contracted for the recommended Generac 22KW generator. The unit has the optional telemetric status' device and provides us and Weaver the operational status 24/7 to designated smart phone(s) as determined. The recently scheduled 'construction' date was set. Glendon Weaver and crew were prompt on time and commenced work in such a disciplined, experienced and ordered manner. Each and every one of the Weaver crew were very polite, respectful of property and us as homeowners. The installation was completed by late afternoon to our great pleasure and satisfaction. Glendon explained and provided answers and demonstrations to our questions to our satisfaction. They did the best possible landscape cleanup considering the weather conditions. We are very comforted that we can live comfortably throughout power outages and know that Earl Weaver Contractors are there when needed. We are extremely happy that we chose them for this project and look forward to future projects with them. Absolutely 100 percent respected and trusted by us for who they are and what they do with such expertise. Thank you, Earl Weaver Contractors.
Neil & Ann

— Greg and Sharon L., Wernersville, PA

THANKS DELMAS !"

Three years after Mikhail Khodorkovsky was convicted of fraud and sentenced to nine years in prison, a former senior manager of his defunct oil company Yukos was convicted in a Russian court in a case that the defense dismissed as a farce.
Moscow City Court found Leonid Nevzlin, a major shareholder of Yukos' holding company Menatep, guilty of organizing five murders and sentenced him to life in prison Friday.
"The court has ascertained that Nevzlin organised a whole host of extremely serious crimes," declared Judge Valery Novikov.
Unlike Khororkovsky, once Russia's richest man, and Alexi Pichugin, Yukos's former head of security who was also convicted of organizing the murders in 2006 and sentenced to 24 years in prison, Nevzlin will not serve out his sentence.
Forty-two Yukos employees have faced charges of one sort of another according to Khodorkovksy's Web site. Following the dramatic arrest of Khodorkovksy at gunpoint in October 2003 as he boarded a plane Siberia, Nevzlin was one of the few who managed to leave Russia before being arrested.
Nevzlin moved to Israel, and acquired Israeli citizenship. Attempts to extradite him to Russia have been thwarted. Since leaving Russia, Nevzlin has become a vocal critic of the Kremlin, and reportedly even offered to bankroll the presidential campaign of former chess champion Gary Kasparov. The former billionaire also set up an institute on Eastern European and Russian Judaism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Khodorkovksy, who is serving a nine-year prison term, denied the charges of tax evasion and fraud that were leveled against him and accused the government of trumping up the charges in order to bring the assets of his former oil empire into the hands of the state, and thwart his alleged political ambitions. After Khodorkovsky was found guilty, the assets of Yukos were auctioned off, and mostly acquired by state-owned oil company Rosneft.
"The decision of the court was written in advance by the Kremlin and there is no surprise in this decision," said Nevzlin's spokesman Amir Dan.
Along with Pichugin, Nevzlin is accused of organizing the murders of people who reportedly stood in the way of Yukos' expansion plans, including Vladimir Petukhov, the mayor of a Siberian town where a major Yukos production site was based, and the landlord of a building in central Moscow that the oil company reportedly wanted to buy.
The conviction couldn't come at a worse time for Russia's international reputation, after a personal attack on the chief executive of coal and steel producer Mechel by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent the market plummeting and cast a shadow over attempts by President Medvedev to reduce corruption and reform the legal system. (See "Medvedev Adds To The Muddle")
"Courts all over the world have ruled that Russia is a place of political persecution--courts in England, in Switzerland, in the Netherlands, in Israel--so the only place such a show trial can be held is in Russia," said Dan.

Duke Energy Renewables Teams with Green Charge to Offer Energy Storage for Commercial Solar Customers
December 8, 2015 | Charlotte, NC for immediate release
Increases Customer Savings in Markets Such as California and Hawaii
With this Agreement, Duke Energy Renewables has Created a Suite of Onsite Energy Solutions for Commercial Customers
Duke Energy Renewables is increasing savings for commercial solar customers through an alliance with Green Charge Networks, the country's largest provider of commercial energy storage for retail, industrial and government customers.
The agreement provides these customers with "solar firming," a way to smooth the peaks and valleys of a variable energy source. It also saves customers money by offsetting the higher prices of peak demand power.
Green Charge Networks, based in Santa Clara, Calif., will work closely with solar provider REC Solar to market energy storage systems with REC's solar projects. Initial focus will be on the Southern California and Hawaiian markets.
Duke Energy acquired a majority interest in REC Solar and energy management company Phoenix Energy Technologies earlier this year.
"Our goal is to make it easier for customers to combine solar and storage, so they can benefit from high quality, consistent and economical power 24/7" said Greg Wolf, president Duke Energy Renewables and Commercial Portfolio. "In addition, through Phoenix ET, we'll also have the ability to offer other energy management systems for those customers seeking a complete and integrated energy savings platform."
REC Solar, based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., serves customers nationwide in the retail, manufacturing, agriculture, technology, government and nonprofit sectors and was ranked by PBN Research as the leading solar company in Hawaii by 2014 revenue.
"Energy storage adds to the list of compelling reasons why businesses should go solar," said Al Bucknam, CEO, REC Solar. "Commercial customers save money by adding energy storage to reduce their peak demand, which can account for up to 50 percent of their electricity bill."
With a combination of lithium-ion battery technology and predictive software, Green Charge systems will draw power from the REC Solar system and the grid during off-peak hours, when electricity is inexpensive, and release it during peak hours, when electricity is more expensive.
"Energy storage is the ideal complement to REC Solar's offering, helping customers get the most out of a sustainable resource, securing their investment through solar firming and lowering energy costs," said Vic Shao, CEO at Green Charge Networks. "By partnering with the largest electric power holding company in the United States and REC Solar, we add momentum to our domestic expansion plans."
Both REC Solar and Green Charge Networks provide competitive, customer-friendly financing options. Green Charge offers a financing model that allows customers to reduce energy costs with no capital output. REC Solar offers tailored financing packages, including leases and power purchase agreements, through an efficient and streamlined financing relationship with Duke Energy.
The Green Charge energy storage platform, a scalable, modular system that monitors facility loads on a second-by-second basis, received the 2015 Product of the Year award from Energy Manager Today.
With behind-the-meter solar, energy storage and demand management offerings, Duke Energy has created a compelling platform of onsite energy solutions for commercial customers large and small.
What's All This Hype About Commercial Solar + Storage?
Combining solar and energy storage can generate significant value for commercial energy customers. Due to technology improvements and cost reductions, installing storage with solar can maximize energy savings potential and, with innovative financing solutions, it can be accomplished without using valuable capex dollars.

Dr. FAQ: When Baby, Mom and Doctor Should Wait
By Dianna Douglas
A pregnancy is considered at "term" after 37 weeks. But there are critical growth stages that come next–a baby's lungs, brain, and liver develop in the last few weeks in the womb. Women in the United States are often induced before the baby has fully gestated, which leads to a host of negative consequences. Kenneth Nunes, MD, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, led an effort to slow down the rate of elective "early-term" deliveries between 37 and 39 weeks at the University of Chicago. In these video interviews, he discusses his motivations, methodology, and results.
In the first, Nunes discusses the risk of delivering early versus the risk of prolonging a pregnancy.
Nunes discusses how a pregnancy is induced, when it is necessary, and the possible effects of inducing.
Nunes discusses how he and the Women's Care Group reversed the number of elective "early-term" deliveries at the University of Chicago.

Here's a cup of calm the f**k downDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionWe've all needed it; the gentle hand on your shoulder from your mum or dad, the raised eyebrow from a pal at just the titchiest of over-emotional reactions in the coffee shop queue or a shit load of confused emoticons on WhatsApp from a distant friend after a bit of an over-share on Facebook. Consider this your own personal 'calm the f*** down' barometer. Reach for this Cafe of Curiosities mug when you need to take time out for a moment, count to ten and reset your personal dial to "awesome".£8.00
I have no idea what I'm f**king doingDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionLets be honest, none of really know what the f*** we're doing pretty much 90% of the time. Cast off those socially conditioned shackles, let your fuckwittery hang out there for all to see and celebrate the fact you're majorly winging it! Shout it from the rooftops with a flat white, or whisper it over the napping baby with a green tea in your Cafe of Curiosities mug – I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M F**KING DOING!£6.50
#FFSDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionParent or not – everyone has a frequent #FFS moment. For us, we whisper it under our breath before answering to 'mummy' for the 100th time that minute, it's when we pick raisins out of ears, get a 5am wake up call or wipe bogies off the arm of the sofa…again. For you, it might be your boss breathing down your neck, your other half, your ex other half, or just one of those crappy days. This Cafe of Curiosities mug sits snugly in your palms, while you raise your eyes to the heavens to mutter this age old prayer under your breath, several times a day.£8.00
I'm so happy, I could shit rainbowsDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionBeth drinks a flat white with one sugar out of this mug when she's genuinely happy – the two often go hand in hand- (and because she does actually shit rainbows). Lucy drinks builders brew, milk no sugar, out of this mug when she's being a grumpy sarcastic old git (and being a vegetarian, Lucy eats a lot of roughage, so you don't really wanna know what she shits...). Either way, it makes both situations just feel better. At the Cafe of Curiosities, we think that when you're shitting rainbows, the world shits rainbows with you.£6.50

That sounds like a dreadful idea. What time do we start?Drinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionSo you haven't been out, out in months; you've forgotten how to walk in high heels and your tolerance to alcohol is the lowest it has been since that first sweet taste of Malibu and lemonade at that school party . Whatever your circumstances now, you're going to grab that Friday night out by the scruff of the neck and party like it's 1996. This is the perfect sized mug for a sneaky G&T while bathing the kids before escaping for a few hours, or indeed to hide in the morning after, while frantically trying to delete those images of you dancing on a table to Beyonce from social media before the Alpha Females on the school run/ at Uni /in that super cool clique see them.£6.50
Life is tough, but so are youDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionWowzers, life can be a right old bitch sometimes, huh? Well, you know what – so the mother-truck are YOU. So put the kettle on, brew yourself up a fabulous Cafe of Curiosities mug of something restorative, roll up your metaphorical sleeves, turn up the gansta rap and DEAL WITH IT. Boom! This is the perfect brew, black Americano, latte or flat white sized mug that sits very comfortably in the hand while simultaneously blowing a raspberry and sticking two fingers up at life. When life hands you lemons, throw them back and demand prosecco.£8.00
BOSS *especially after coffeeDrinkware, Laughter & Boom CollectionWe're not a 'girl boss' or the 'mum boss' we're just THE BOSS. True dat. And what better way to Boss it up, or tell a mate they're the ultimate, than with this Cafe of Curiosity mug.
