What effect does PV solar panels have on property value?
Thinking of putting a 2-3KW PV system on roof. Likely to cost £10-12K. Pay back looks to be about 10 years. I am interested to know what effect this would have on the house value. If we say sold the house in 5 years would we recover a percentage of the investment in the selling price? Otherwise we could end up worse off! thanks tom

Photovoltaic panels can supplement electrical supplies to homes and you may be able to sell excess energy to the National Grid. The system should be properly installed and coverred by a guarantee which can be assigned should you sell the property. You probably won't need planning consent but probably will need Building Regulation approval: you should check with your local council. If your home is a listed building there could also be difficulties. I know of no evidence that the investment would add to the property's value. Obtaining a system free should be considered, please see the link below.

The jury is still out. It is difficult to see a positive effect in a fluctuating market over a short period of time. WARNING installing a 'free' system as previously suggested will not increase the value or 'sellability' of your home. These 'rent-a-roof schemes effectively mean a company owns your roof for 25 years. Who would purchase the home under that?Answered on Sep 15 2011, Report content
Hi, It's not necessarily a case of having an affect on the value of the property. You have got to be very mindful and careful when having solar panels installed as some companies will have a lease on the solar panels for 25 years and as they have a charge on your property it is extremely difficult to sell your property with its lease in place. We hope this helps.Answered on Sep 13 2013, Report content

Time to drug test the financial sector. So to speak
In late 2008, Floyd Landis was finally stripped of his 2006 Tour De France yellow jersey.
The US cyclist had tested positive for unacceptable levels of testosterone during the Tour and, after further damning analyses, charges of doping were upheld, despite Landis appealing to sporting bodies around the world. Worldwide anti-doping cooperation had at last borne fruit. There is a decided advantage in collecting and preserving information today so that it can be analysed later – witness the number of decades-old 'cold cases' that are being solved as a result of new DNA analysis techniques.
Do we need the concept of 'cold case' analysis in the financial sector, particularly to identify culprits for crises (unfortunately plural rather than singular)?
Over the past few months, it appears that the gods of the financial markets just cannot be appeased. Governments attempt to tackle a problem, only to find that, a few weeks later, 'financial markets' find that enough is not enough and another cycle of rising interest rates followed by ratings downgrade happens again - and then again.
Now it is without doubt there are huge economic and financial problems in the USA, Europe and even in Australia. But the current volatility in financial markets is at least in part due to speculation, in particular, hot money betting on the probabilities of default of sovereign nations. For example, over the last month the cost of insuring against a default by Italy, in the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) market, rose by over 75 per cent, default by Spain by over 40 per cent. This is despite these governments taking painful steps to get their houses in order. CDS are bets that countries (and companies) will fail. Such markets have been labelled casinos often enough not to repeat here, but it appears that the 'financial markets' have become a huge RSL, with governments as the meat tray.
Like the Australian love of punting, there is little wrong with market speculation, provided that one does it with one's own money and that it does not become destructively addictive. But the players in the CDS market are not always punting with their own money; they are, in the case of large banks, being underwritten by taxpayers. That is, taxpayers are taking bets against their own prosperity.
So what to do?
First, regulators, as they are permitted to do, should be ordered by the G7 to request that all regulated banks report all of the trades (CDS and other derivatives) that have made in the past six months and continue over the next few months. Think of this, as a blood sample or fingerprint collected at the scene of a possible crime.
The boards of regulated banks should also be sternly reminded of their duty to ensure a robust 'risk culture' in their institutions and to ensure that no trading takes place that is outside of the Board's own risk limits. They should be reminded that their risk taking activities should also be backed by sufficient capital to cover losses from all forms of risk, including 'systemic risk'. Note that the very real difficulties in measuring systemic risk does not abrogate the need to acquire capital against it. This would mean that boards must ensure that if they are involved in market speculation, they have covered the resulting systemic risk by sufficient capital.
This will not help resolve the current crisis but will allow forensic analysis of its possible causes at some time down the road – a crisis cold case if you like.
If, after such an analysis, it is found that regulated banks have indulged in speculative trading that has not been covered by the capital maintained by them, then the outcome is obvious – board members should be severely sanctioned. In addition, new remuneration rules should ensure that bonuses, resulting from any such breaches, are retrieved by the taxpayer.
Of course, it is possible that banks will not be implicated in any crisis and all that would be lost is that banks would have undertaken a quick check to ensure everything was in order, in itself not bad.
It may have, however, have a beneficial effect, in that it might cause boards of banks to exit the sovereign CDS market, unless they can be assured that they thoroughly understand the capital impact of such speculative trading. Speculation by non-regulated firms, such as hedge funds would still take place but without the support of the biggest players, the banks, the market will become a sideshow rather than the main game.
Maybe what is needed is the financial equivalent of the WADA (World Anti Doping Agency). Forensic accounting might even become sexy?

text: Class actions March 2017 Print friendly page By Paul Dailing Editor Cory Lewis, 31, is an associate in Baker McKenzie's Corporate & Securities Practice Group whose workload includes cross-border transactions in the mergers and acquisitions space and securities work. He is also a volunteer lawyer for Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Inc., whose workload includes fighting to keep some of the most troubled kids in Chicago Public Schools on track to graduation. And he's getting other associates at his firm involved. After hearing about the program at a pro bono meeting for Baker McKenzie associates, Lewis began defending students facing expulsion from Chicago Public Schools, often working in tandem with their defense counsel in criminal hearings. "Keeping them with as clean a criminal record as possible, or with as reasonable a record as possible so that their futures are not substantially affected, it's very, very important," he said. CL: How did you get involved with the Lawyers' Committee? Lewis: Especially because I'm a corporate lawyer, one of the byproducts of that is you really don't work with individual clients. Most of our clients are companies. I really wanted to get involved in some pro bono work where I could affect the lives of individuals. CL: Take us through one of these expulsion hearings. Lewis: [After the Lawyers' Committee reaches out with a case], you get in touch with the client, you try and contact them to find out what their status is, whether they're in school or whether they're currently out of school. You try to get a feel for the person, because I think that the person has a huge bearing on how you decide to approach the hearing and the defense. The next step is to get in touch with Chicago Public Schools to get the misconduct report to the extent the client doesn't have it. My own preference is to try to have a conversation with the staff attorneys at Chicago Public Schools, to find out anything that's not clear with the situation. The attorneys at Chicago Public Schools are, I think, on the whole really helpful and flexible in terms of trying to provide as much information they can and that is appropriate. I try to meet with my clients in person to the extent that I can. Certainly leading up to the hearing I try to go through what I think is going to be said, what's going to be asked and make sure they're prepared. I also try to prepare their families, especially if I'm going to be calling their families as witnesses, which is often the case. CL: Why do this? Lewis: There's no secret that the vast majority of the kids that are in these hearings are minorities. Many of them are African-American. This is a personal opinion — I don't purport to know for a fact — but from what I can see, a lot of these kids are really disadvantaged. A lot of them don't have the support either at home or don't go to schools that have the resources to provide counseling and other forms of support that would have prevented this. They're out in the winds and they're just trying to survive. I see it as my responsibility to try and help them as much as possible and to provide them with the opportunity to have that support, starting with me and then hopefully getting them back in school and hoping to help the school appreciate there's more to this than "He's just a bad kid." I've generally found Chicago Public Schools to be pretty receptive to that. They just need a chance. To the extent that we as lawyers can give that to them, I think it's more than just a great opportunity. I think it's a responsibility.

Apple Will Release iOS 11 To The Public
Are you also anxious to know when Apple will release iOS 11 officially to the public? In fact, Apple has already released the beta version of iOS 11 for developers to test. But wait there, why only for developers? Let's explain.
Yes, iOS 11 has already been released, but only for developers registered in the iOS Developer Center. He's a key piece at this time of liberation because Apple releases. They test the new system and inform the Apple if the iOS is flowing regularly or have many bugs that should be corrected in upcoming updates, and ultimately after all these errors are corrected the final version of iOS 11 is released to the public. But when? Calm down. We're still going to get there.
Registered users will be able to test iOS 11 at the end of June, according to Apple. Click here and see how to apply. While this is a safe method, we do not recommend that you install beta versions if you use your iPhone 8 or iPad often for work and do not want to experience sudden crashes.
Apple usually throws the final version of iOS to the public always after the presentation of the new iPhone that happens every year in September, and it is quite clear that this year will not be different. Why do we recommend you wait until September? Because the final version comes completely clean and fluid, which does not happen in beta releases, which are versions of tests and which most often have bugs and crashes.
Hidden iOS 11 Features
Apple officially introduced iOS 11 to the public, which apparently arrived with few noticeable changes, but if you're looking for detailed, it will be easy to find some interesting changes.
iOS 11 Control Center
iOS 11 was featured on the last June 6th, and with him, we saw the news that the next great update would bring. One of the best is, without a doubt, the new control center. Apple answered our requests and brought the central we all wanted with the shortcut to mobile data, mode of little energy and other novelties you will now meet.
Customizable control center on iOS 11. The control center in iOS 11 now slides as a page occupying the entire screen and with a blur in the background. From iOS 11 you will be able to customize some new central controls.

text: Hello my name is Trevor, and Im very excited to get an octopus tank started (even though this is my first time in the salt water world). My significant other, Rachel, and I have decided to endeavor into the salt water aquarium world as our first hobby together, and we couldnt be more excited! Our first aquarium will be either a 24, or 28 gallon nanocube that we are buying second hand. We were wanted to start by growing corals and the like with a few damsels and clownfish, just to start learning. later down the road i would love to put either a dwarf (pigmy) octopus, or dwarf cuddlefish as our goal pet! We would love any pointers that could be thrown our way as far as best (smaller, i.e. 4" body or less) species that would be a great experience. I have done a moderate ammount of research on salt water aquariums and have found a privatly owned specialty pet store with an owner who seems very much to care not only of our knowledge base (and is helping us to make the best decisions), and who cares very much about the care of the animals he is selling! We are very excited as I have said. Rachel and I currently reside in Cleveland Ohio, and live in a very small appartment with my German shepherd "Shadow" but are currently looking to move to a bigger house for rent we have just recently found. In my research I have seen a common consistancy in almost all forums; Octopi are hard to come by. That fact has given me the goal of starting octopus husbandry to help change the limited availablility and general lack of knowledge base for these creatures, they are so fascinating!. SO! since we are going to start our first cycle or two with just raising corals and fish, we were wondering what would be the best choice to help us get ready for our cepholapod tank? and what would the recommended tanks size be for smaller (hopefully) more manangable species? Also since we have heard that octopods kind-of plow over things in their path what kind of corals do you recommend raising? Thank you so much for reading and we are looking forward to the advice. Sorry for the large ammound of info and kind-of "scatterbraindness" (new word?) but there is a lot of information that needs to go both ways as we do not want to mistreat or hurt any animals (even the coral!) Thank you again for reading this ginormous post and we cant wait to hear from you! Sincearly, Rachel, and Trevor

If there is one food synonymous with picnics in my opinion, it's watermelon! When dreaming up a picnic-worthy dessert, I decided to turn this iconic summer fruit into a layered cake parfait. Desserts that are easy to pack as well as eat are the only way to go for a picnic, so leave messy treats at home and enjoy these watermelon cake parfaits.
You can truly let your creativity run wild with layered mason jar desserts. Think banana pudding, key lime pie, birthday cake, you name it! I love the bright green and pink of watermelon, however, so that's what I decided to choose. I also love the presentation because it's perfect for a picnic party. You can easily see the fun, layered colors right through the jar. Plus, you can tie on a cute mini spoon or fork for easy eating.
You'll find the recipe below! Happy picnicking!
Watermelon Cake in Mason Jars
- 2 boxes white cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4+ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2-3 Tbsp. milk
- green food coloring
- pink food coloring
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
1. Prepare both cake mixes as directed on the package. Add 1 tablespoon of green food coloring to one cake batter, and 1 teaspoon of green food coloring to the second cake batter to create one darker green and one lighter green cake. Pour each cake batter into a 9"x13" or larger sheet cake pan and bake according to the package instructions. Be sure a toothpick inserted comes out clean, but do not overbake.
2. After both sheet cakes have cooled, use a round cookie cutter the same size as your mason jar (2½" or similar) to cut out cake rounds in the dark and light green cakes. You will need one of each cake for each mason jar.
3. To make the frosting, beat room-temperature butter until it's creamy. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Beat in extracts, salt, milk and several drops of pink food coloring until the desired pink color is reached. Add more powdered sugar or milk until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Using either a spatula or piped from a piping bag and tip, add frosting on top of the light green cake layer. Top with mini chocolate chips.
5. Tie on a mini spoon with ribbon or raffia, and enjoy at your picnic!
6. Recipe makes 1 dozen mason jar parfaits.
You can make these treats up to two days before and store them in the refrigerator until picnic time. This makes packing the perfect picnic just a little easier!
Note: If you want your cake parfait to taste like watermelon too, then simply add in a drop of watermelon flavoring to your cake and frosting!

Need to build business communication skills? Try improv theater!
When learning how to be an effective interviewer or presenter, it can sometimes be helpful to think out of the box.
At Capitol, students are sharpening their interview skills through -- among other things -- exploring the art of improv theater. A workshop being offered at the university's upcoming Career Conference will provide training and practice in techinques that improv actors use to overcome inhibitions and build rapport with an audience.
Often, the same techniques can help foster better communication during interviews and other business situations, such as meeting with clients or giving presentations.
Samantha Van Sant, who is pursuing a theater vocation while also serving as Capitol's associate director of admissions, will be leading the workshop.
"It's designed to help the students with interviews, in terms of spontaneity and flexibility in what they're saying and how they're responding to what they're seeing," explained Van Sant, who has trained with the Baltimore Improv Group and currently works with an independent troupe, Topiary, that performs around Maryland and Pennsylvania."It's important to have the ability to carry on a conversation on the spot," Van Sant said.
"Students often walk into interviews with a certain paragraph or dialogue memorized in their head, ready to go – but interviews don't always go like that," she said.
The improv workshop is one of several being offered as part of the Career Conference, which takes place on the Capitol campus on February 17th. Other sessions will cover such topics as body language and meeting preparation.
More than 25 area employers, including the CIA, the National Security Agency and Orbital ATK, will be sending representatives to the job fair portion of the conference.
"We require all of our students to attend, and we require all our students to be dressed appropriately," Associate Director of Career Services Sarah Alspaw said of the event. "It's good for employers because if you're looking for qualified candidates, you'll find them. You're not going to show up and have two hours of no one to talk to. You'll be meeting with students who are actively seeking internships and full-time opportunities."
The conference is part of a year-round career mentoring program that includes interview practice, resume reviews, coaching by Career Services personnel, seminars on business etiquette, and other career preparation activities. For more information, contact Career Services at email@example.com

According to reports, solar power project developers' threat to import solar cells from countries such Japan, Korea, Singapore and others is music to the ears of Indian solar cell manufacturers.
The manufacturers are of the view that it's better to compete with these countries than "non-market" economies like China. "We have been saying the same thing over the past two years that anti-dumping duty would not have any adverse effect over the solar programme of the country," said a senior executive of a Delhi-based leading solar cell manufacturer.
He said with the developers choosing countries such as the European Union, Korea, Japan and Canada, it would be a competitive market. "We at least won't have to compete with non-market economies such as China," said the executive.
Power project developers had earlier said if a dumping duty is imposed on cheaper imports, the solar power cost would go up and the government's aim to bring down solar power price would fail. Last month, India slapped dumping duty on solar gear imported in the country from the US, China, Malaysia and Taiwan, in order to safeguard the domestic manufacturing of the same.
The Directorate-General of Anti-Dumping (DGAD), in its final findings, recommended anti-dumping duties of up to $0.48 per watt on solar cells coming from the US and 0.81 per watt on Chinese. The ministry of new and renewable energy and project developers are apprehensive that this would double up the cost of solar power generation. The developers, however, wrote to the government that they would still depend on imports, though from another set of countries. The domestic manufacturers are of the view that the cost of solar power would remain at Rs 7.5 per unit by 2020 if indigenous solar cells are used. The current cost of solar power in the country is the Rs 6.5-8 per unit.
The industry is also hopeful of scaling their current capacity by 300 Mw from current 1,260 Mw, by the year-end. "Dumping duty leads to 20 per cent increase in the cost of solar cells, this in turn translates into a 10 per cent increase in the cost of power project. This also over the period of the project will fall to eight per cent. It's better than the country wasting Rs 11,000 crore of foreign exchange in importing solar cells," said Ajay Goel, chief executive officer, Tata Power Solar.
According to the data shared by the solar power producers, the cost of the Chinese solar cells is around 58-61 cents per watt, which is set to go up to $1.20 per watt, once the dumping duty is imposed. Indigenously manufactured cells cost 44-48 cents per watt. Power producers said the cost of cells coming from the US, Singapore, Canada, Japan and European Union would cost between 75-90 cents.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Power Washing' started by DMPServices, Mar 10, 2009.
i have a whirl a way surface cleaner,these are built heavy,what ever you decide be damage fee.....
Could be any number of things..... Wrong tips, clogged tips, tips installed wrong, operator speed, bad concrete, surfacer too big for machine, etc....
I would reccomend you buy local on this piece of equipment.
Also rent one from a dealer or rental yard before purchasing.
This was you can avoid spending money on garbage.
You went too fast.
Whisper wash
+100 Mike.....
My 15inch surface cleaner that attaches to my wand tip works great with my 4000psi washer
I got it from home depot and it was only $69.99
Well you cant loose on that, I dont think it will last long. I'll need to check this out.
I also recommend whisper wash.
I use the largest one they make. The Maxima 36" surface cleaner.
I join two machines together, a 20hp Honda 8gpm pump and 13hp Honda 5gpm pump = 33hp 13gpm @ 2800psi.
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION of a MAXIMA 36" surface cleaner - 13gpm @ 2800psi
How many gpm's does your washer put out? Do you have a model # or photo of the surface cleaner?

Recently, there's been a lot of talk about the importance of having a properly functioning pineal gland in order to enhance or awaken your intuitive abilities.
As a shamana, who also has been trained extensively in the neuro and psychological sciences, I had some questions about this, too.
The only written articles I could find that attempted to explain the issue, didn't make any sense to me, even as someone with over 10 years of training in the field. And part of my goal, as both a shamana and a scientist, is to provide the missing link for so many of us logical minded folks, who also happen to be spiritual and need some clear baseline answers.
The link between the pineal gland and intuition, as it stands now, is mostly a missing one.
I'd like to add some clarity on what the real connection is between the pineal gland and your intuition. First, let's cover what the pineal gland even is and what it does.
what is the pineal gland?
The pineal gland is an endocrine structure located near the center of the brain, near other core, central structures - like those involved in balance, core motor abilities, appetite regulation, breathing, and so many more functions necessary for our survival.
It's an endocrine structure, which means that it regulates the signalling of hormones and other neurochemicals, specifically, ones like melatonin, that are involved with one of the primary duties of the pineal glands, the regulation of our circadian rhythm.
The pineal gland's location deep within the brain is important to note, because it is believed that the deeper and more protected a structure is within the brain, the more primeval, the more rudimentary, the more essential for survival. The pineal gland is thought to be core and essential to part of who we are as humans.
And this is for two reasons. The first reason, is that during the course of evolution, it's believed that these central, core structures evolved first - and if something evolved first, that means it's a really important, basic need.
Imagine you create a ball of yarn, you start with the tiny knot in the center, then begin to roll outward, and add layers. It's this same general idea that is behind the development of the human brain - that the core layers are first and essential to survival - to the entire structure and foundation to that ball of yarn.
And if you think about it, it makes sense. If something is an essential, non-negotiable need for survival, like breathing, you'd want to make sure as a physiological being, that the structures that control this function are highly protected. . . .deep in the center of the brain.
Which brings me to reason number two for the importance of the pineal gland's location - it's more protected by being on the inside, and thus, the idea is that it's more essential for survival. Any traumas or injuries that happen on the exterior, have more potential to affect the exterior structures of the brain, the cortex. While yes, these functions are important, some consider them peripheral to the functions regulated by structures located in the center of the brain.
More exterior, is less protected. More interior, is more protected.
Like a bank vault housed in the deep, dark center of the bank, which contains all the money and the security systems of the bank necessary for operation, the brain operates the same way - with its essential features located and protected, deep within.
Meaning, the pineal gland, if it is linked to intuition, is thought to be a core element of all humans.
the circadian rhythm
One of the core functions of the pineal gland is regulating our Circadian Rhythm. This is our sleep-wake cycle, this is our body's ability to be awake when it's light and be sleeping when it's dark, on a regular cycle. This, in science, is also known as your arousal state.
More aroused = more awake, less aroused or not aroused = relaxed or asleep.
And the pineal gland regulates this ability.
by now, you might be wondering, what does this all have to do with intuition?
I'm getting there.
The ability of the pineal gland to regulate your sleep wake cycle relates to how well it's functioning, as a whole, just like everything else. A structure, of any kind, functions better and more efficiently when it's well maintained.
As this relates to the sleep wake cycle and intuition, the ability of your pineal gland to regulate arousal states is known as it's ability to entrain an arousal state.
Entrainment is the idea that your brain learns to do something, after being trained to do it. It becomes entrained to regulate sleep wake cycles, after learning when waking is for you and when sleeping is for you.
Often, this is done by light cycles. The easiest example is when you have to set your alarm earlier to wake up, or when you visit another time zone, and your body has to "get used to" the new time zone and the new daylight hours.
This process, of teaching your body when you'd like to be awake vs. asleep, occurs inside the brain and is calledentrainment. You have you entrain your brain to notice the new light cycle, and thus, give it time to regulate its functions to allow you to be awake at this time.
this is the job of the pineal gland. to regulate your circadian rhythm, and to entrain your brain of new changes in the rhythm.
The better functioning the pineal gland, the better and more quickly it is able to do this.
But there's more elements of the sleep wake cycle, or the arousal cycle, than just being awake, and being asleep.
There's 4 elements of the brain's sleep-wake cycle.
There's awake (beta state)
There's awake, but almost asleep and relaxed (alpha state).
There's asleep (theta state)
And there's deep sleep (delta state)
You may have heard of these brain states before, when doing your own research on meditation, which is why they might sound familiar. Alpha waves meditations on Youtube, anyone?
Option 2, Alpha state, is the state that's related to meditation. Your brain learns to do this too, and can be entrained to do it.
That's where the pineal gland comes in.
Your brain can be entrained to get into meditative state easier, with a properly functioning pineal gland, since that's what's in charge of all this.
The better functioning, the better it is at entrainment. The better it is at getting you into the state you want to be in, at the time you want to be in it.
Entrainment is teaching your brain when you want to be asleep, when you want to be awake, and even, when you want to be in a meditative state.
This is why, it's often said, that meditation should be practiced at the same time each day when you're first starting - this is teach your brain how and when to get there.
The more trained your pineal gland, and your brain, is at getting into these states, the easier it is for your to get there whenever you want.
A properly functioning pineal gland can help increase your abilities to get into a meditative state, faster, quicker, more easily.
And guess what? In a meditative state, is where most people access their intuitive abilities.
Your meditation routine, whatever that may be, provides cues to your brain that it's time to enter into a different sleep-wake state - the meditative state. The better functioning the gland, the more responsive it is to your cues.
the pineal gland regulates your ability to get into a meditative state.
meditation is the key to unlocking your intuition.
the pineal gland is the key to your intuition.
so, how can you improve the functioning of this gland to subsequently improve your intuition?
Yes, diet has been suggested as a way to improve function, but there are many other ways.
You can improve the functioning of your pineal gland by giving it clearer cues to how it needs to function for you.
Primarily, all you have to do, is to teach your brain that you want to access this meditative state, the almost asleep but still awake state, more often.
This is why many teachers *stress* the importance of a meditative routine or having a set schedule for when you practice and flex your intuitive gifts.
how can you do this?
Meditate at a regular time each day, when you first start or re-start the practice. This gives the brain a reliable, predictable schedule of when it needs to be in this state. It's a cue to your pineal gland, saying, "Hey! 6pm every other day is when you can expect to be ready to be in this particular brain state."
Develop a meditative routine, even if it's just sitting in a certain chair at a certain time - the more cues you can provide, the better.
After you practice getting into this state at a regular time each day with the cues that you provide, your brain will learn quickly, or become entrained, to recognize when it's time to get into meditation state - i.e., to access your intuition.
The pineal gland is linked to intuition, because it regulates your sleep wake brain states, and one of those brain states, is the meditative, intuition linked one.
pineal gland = intuitive gland.
There you have it!
There are other functions of this gland, of course, that link it to various features of your intuition, one of which, is it's signalling relationship with the SCN, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a primitive brain structure that forms a rudimentary visual pathway. This visual pathway, in many ways, can be linked to your clairvoyant abilities, and is the topic for a future post.
I hope this helped clear things up and helped to strengthen and formalize that missing link between the pineal gland and intuition.

Standards and targets for permits issued: ozone-depleting substances and halocarbon alternatives
Quality and predictability of service are legitimate expectations of Canadians when interacting with the Government of Canada. A public commitment to a measureable level of performance that clients can expect under normal circumstances (i.e., regular day-to-day operations) is referred to as a service standard.
Service standards are integral to good client service and important for effective management of performance. These service standards help clarify expectations (both internal and external), drive improvements to services, and contribute to results-based management.
Regulatory authorizations (in the form of permits) are issued annually by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) under the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations (ODSHAR). Under these Regulations, the following service standards and performance indicators have been set.
Service Standard
The administrative review process will begin upon receipt of the application for the export, import, manufacture, or use of ozone-depleting substances and hydrofluorocarbons, including any permits required for products containing or designed to contain ozone-depleting substances. If a permit application is not complete or accurate, ECCC will seek clarification or additional information.
Once ECCC receives the complete information required for a permit application as listed below under "Summary of Information Requirements", the permit will be issued within 10 working days.
Performance Target
The target for achieving this standard is set at 80%.
Measuring Service Performance
The service standard for issuing permits for the import, export, manufacture and certain uses of ozone-depleting substances was established on April 1, 2014. As of December 29, 2016, the service standard also applies to permits issued for hydrofluorocarbons. ECCC's performance in meeting this service standard is measured annually from April 1 to March 31 the following year.
|Service Standard
|The administrative review process will begin upon receipt of the permit application. The permit will be issued within 10 working days once Environment and Climate Change Canada receives the complete information required for a permit.
|Performance Target
|The target for achieving this standard is set at 80%.
|Assessment Measure
|The proportion of permit applicants that received a final decision on their application within 10 working days.
|Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Performance
|97.7% (86/88)
|Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Performance
|100% (74/74)
|Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Performance
|94.7% (89/94)
Applying for a Permit to Export, Import, Manufacture, or Use an Ozone-Depleting Substance or a Hydrofluorocarbon
Exporters, importers, manufacturers and certain users of ozone-depleting substances or hydrofluorocarbons must apply for a permit to do so. Without a permit, the export, import, manufacture or use of the ozone-depleting substance or hydrofluorocarbon cannot proceed.
Applicants must provide the required information outlined in Schedule 5 of the ODSHAR. Although the Regulations do not prescribe the completion of a specific form, ECCC has developed several forms to facilitate the application process for regulatees.
Summary of Information Requirements:
The information requirements for applications outlined in Schedule 5 of the Regulations include:
- Information respecting the applicant;
- Information respecting the substance/product;
- Information respecting the source/destination of the substances;
- Information respecting the purpose of the exportation/importation of the substance, if applicable;
- Information respecting the purchaser of the substance, if applicable;
- Declaration that the substance will be used or sold for the use for which it was imported, if applicable; and
- Evidence that the exportation/importation complies with the laws of the importing/exporting Party.
In addition to the above information requirements, the applicant must also submit a declaration of understanding that the information may be released to a third party (e.g. country of destination) in order to complete the permitting process or a declaration that the substance will be used or sold for the purpose for which it was imported/manufactured.
ECCC conducts a thorough technical review of the accuracy and completeness of the application once the department has received the permit application form and all accompanying documents.
In the case of an import, if the application is found to be satisfactory, the Minister will issue an import permit to the applicant.
In the case of an export, ECCC contacts the focal point for licensing systems of ozone-depleting substances of the country of import, as specified by the Ozone Secretariat of the United Nations Environment Programme, for review and consent.
For exports to the United States, ECCC contacts the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). ECCC must receive an acknowledgement letter, a non-objection notice letter or any other approval document from the authority with jurisdiction over the receiving company/facility that the ozone-depleting substance is authorized for import. If any competent authority objects, the export cannot proceed. Once all authorizations are received by ECCC, the Minister will issue an export permit to the applicant.
No one shall import, export or manufacture without having the appropriate permit.
The application form and all accompanying documents required by the ODSHAR must be forwarded to:
Chemical Production Division
Environment and Climate Change Canada
Place Vincent-Massey
351 St. Joseph Blvd., 19th floor
Gatineau QC K1A 0H3

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Beckdroid, Jul 30, 2010.
a site to sell my Storm 1 on? Don't laugh 5 bucks is 5 bucks.
how much are you looking for it?
Really? People are still buying them? I was thinking of one of those websites that will buy your phone. Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
thanks for reminding me i need to sell my Blackberry Tour
Just donate it to needy people. You'll feel better!
Craigslist, I sold my BB Storm 1 for $100 in an hour (back in April). I had at least 20+ inquires. There are people out there that think that the BB Storm is some cool -ish, lol
I also sold the accessories and made it look like a 'bundle' type deal.
I wasted $2.09 listing it on eBay, I got no bites.
CrackBerry.com ? The #1 Site for BlackBerry Users & Abusers marketplace or, set it on a golf tee and smack with a driver!
How much for the storm?
My company can use it, if its cheap enough
I just (two weeks ago) sold two storm 1's. One on ebay for $130 and the other on criagslist for $135. I just got a couple of emails yesterday about the craiglists ads because I forgot to pull them down. People are still buying them..
FWIW, my son recently sold my really old BB Curve 8300 on Ebay for $80.
I work for a mobile development company, we use those types of devices for testing of apps we make
Sell Your Blackberry for Cash, Used or Broken, Cash For Your Blackberry, Sell my Blackberry, Broken Blackberry, Used Blackberry, New Blackberry - CashForBerrys.com
I got $80 for my Storm. I didn't think I'd get near that much, but I guess when they got it they decided it was worth more! My Storm was almost as good as new though, always had a case and screen protector on it.
Unless it's worth real money, I always send my old phones to Cell Phones for Life, Inc :: Ardmore, OK 73401 :: 580.226.5652 :: 1.800.585.5503 :: Together we can make a difference!!

RESCUERS have successfully released a baby whale tangled in shark nets off the Gold Coast.
The 6-7m juvenile humpback became snared in the net off Kurrawa beach earlier Thursday afternoon.
Earlier, Queensland Shark Control Program manager Jeff Krause said the Marine Animal Release Team was on location and was working to cut the whale free from the net.
"The net is caught around the animal's head, and it is currently dragging the net, heading north-east.
"Sea conditions are a bit rough, but there is still a strong chance of a successful release."
It is the second whale this migration season to be caught in shark nets off the Gold Coast.

Kids Classes
Kids Dance Classes
Bumpin Ballroom prides itself on creating a fun and educational environment for kids of ALL AGES! Each class is 100% customized to cater to each age group. We believe that every child has a natural "Bump" when their favorite song comes on and the last thing we want to do is change that but better yet, lets enhance it! Each class is VERY informational without the kids realizing it. They have a blast for an hour, then go home and unload everything they learned on their parents.
Everyday we have parents coming in telling us, that their little boy is practicing at home in his room or they will catch their little girl doing a salsa basic while she does the dishes. We think that every child is unique and has SO much talent that is undiscovered.
Whether your looking for hip hop to ballet or jazz to ballroom dancing, at Bumpin Ballroom, we cover it ALL. Our students are taught
from day one to become a good dancer you must be well rounded. Knowing everything that dancing has to offer really does make their experience priceless. We are trying to eliminate the famous saying of "I wish I started dancing young." Your never to old to start but starting young definitely helps!
The dancing is just the beginning of what we offer to our students. During the school year we offer a 2 hour after school program where to students are welcomed to come in after school, and our staff makes sure that whatever homework and/or study they need to finish is taken care of. Then they have a group class immediate following their one hour study session. Surprisingly enough the kids get really inspired to finish their homework to be able to join the group class, which makes for not only better grades, but a sense of ease for the parents when they get home at night.
Few things can compare to the amount of fitness they get out of each class. Again, they learn all the genres of dance and we keep them moving for an hour straight some times more! Endurance and cardio are a given when it comes to dancing but we also instill core strength and individual muscle isolation, so they really are getting a full body workout.
Each class starts with an class introduction, meaning we all sit in a circle and meet eachother whether they have been dancing with us for years or days we make sure everyone feels welcome.
Since a lot of what we teach is partner dancing they are also introduced how to interact with each other appropriately.
The boys learn to thank their lady after every dance and the girls learn to let their partner lead. We love the old fashion values that ballroom dancing brings.
Lets talk about age groups. Now of course the older kids don't want to dance with the little ones and the little ones do not want to be as serious as the older ones. We have three separate age ranges.
This class focuses on coordination, listening skills, patience, team building, partnership, balance, pattern knowledge and dance terminology. This is the only class that run in 45 min increments. This class is filled with just the right amount of learning and a good balance of fun! We like to keep this class small so we can give each little one attention.
Now this class becomes a bit more advanced. Coordination, listening skills, patience and team building is usually already in full motions. We really start to dig into counting music, specific choreography, technique and fine tuning. This class is a full hour in length and starts with flexibility gaining warm up and technical run through for Latin dances. After finishing this class we usually end with some time of dance related games so they see how much they are learning everyday!
This class is heavily focused on technique and serious skill building. We are typically working on Choreography for competition and this is one heck of a team. We ask for a bit of a commitment with this class as we are focusing on getting the kids in this class to feel strongly for their dancing. Plus the more they are here the better they get!!
If you come by the studio you will see that the owners, Kayla and Danny, really are kids themselves at heart, being as they started young as well they have their best interest at heart. Call us today to get started, your first class is ALWAYS free!

Group Policies provide a powerful and flexible way to manage the user's operating environment and to make sure that all kinds of functions are performed consistently. Although Group Policies management in Windows 2000 is good, the same function in Windows Server 2003 is even more powerful—and it includes a new management console that makes it easier to maintain this service.
Changes in Windows Server 2003
The biggest improvement to Group Policies in Windows Server 2003 is the introduction of the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), which I'll discuss in a minute. In addition, more than 200 new policy settings are included with the new operating system, resulting in more control over the Control Panel, Remote Assistance, network connections, profiles, and DNS, among other things.
Another significant improvement is the ability for Group Policies to be applied to machines that meet hardware specifications you set. This is possible because Group Policy reporting is tied to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). So, for instance, an administrator can push a policy to a machine that has a specified amount of hard drive space or that meets specific RAM requirements.
Introducing the Group Policy Management Console
Windows Server 2003's GPMC centralizes all Group Policy management functions, including backup and restore of Group Policy objects, import and export capability of Group Policy objects, and resultant set of policy reporting. By combining functions from a number of tools, such as Active Directory Users And Computers, Active Directory Sites And Services, the Resultant Set Of Policy snap-in, and the Delegation Wizard, the GPMC eliminates the need to go to a bunch of locations to perform common tasks.
The GPMC can manage both Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 domain controllers, but the console must be installed on either Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP SP1. If it is installed on Windows XP SP1, Windows XP QFE Q326469 and the .NET Framework must also be installed.
The GPMC is available for download from Microsoft's Group Policy site. The download is called gpmc.msi, and you can start the installation just by double-clicking the file. Installation is quick and easy, consisting of only a couple of screens, including a license agreement. After installation, you can launch the GPMC at Start | Administrative Tools | Group Policy Management. Figure A shows the GPMC window.
|Figure A
|The Group Policy Management Console
Using the GPMC
Using the GPMC is easy, but you should have an understanding of how Group Policies work, lest you push out a policy that creates a problem. The left-hand window provides most of the navigation you need to modify parts of the Group Policy.
GPMC can manage multiple forests. To add a forest, right-click on Group Policy Management and select Add Forest from the shortcut menu. You'll be prompted for the name of the forest.
Modify the default policy
The default policy can be modified by expanding the forest option and selecting Domains followed by the name of your domain. In my example, the domain is named, appropriately enough, example.com. Under the name of your domain, you'll find an option for the Default Domain Policy. Click on this to view the details for this policy, as shown in Figure B.
To edit the policy, right-click on it and choose Policy. This will launch the Group Policy Object Editor with the selectedobject as the target. Figure C shows an example.
Instead of completely replacing other Group Policy tools, the GPMC supplements them by providing a single point of initial administration. When there is a better tool to perform a specific task, the GPMC launches it.
Filtering by system specifications
As I mentioned earlier, Group Policy is tied to WMI, which enables you to enforce a policy based on system hardware specifications. At the bottom of Figure B, notice the section labeled WMI Filtering. In that screen shot, no WMI filter is linked to the Group Policy object. And since this is a new domain, no WMI filters have been specified yet. To create one, right-click on WMI Filters in the left pane and select New from the shortcut menu. This will present you with a window on which you can specify the parameters required to create the new filter. In Figure D, I have provided a name and description for a new filter.
|Figure D
|Create a new WMI filter.
To add a new WMI query, click the Add button. The resulting window asks for two pieces of information—the namespace to use and the query. Most WMI information is gleaned from the root\CIMv2 name space. To create a filter that targets Windows XP Professional machines, use the query Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Caption = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" (Figure E). Click the Save button when you finish.
|Figure E
|A new WMI query
To use the new filter with a GPO, click the down arrow in the WMI Filtering section of the Group Policy Object Details window and select it. As an example, I added my new filter to the default domain policy. Then, I clicked the option for the new filter in the left-hand window under WMI filters. In Figure F, you can see that this results in detailed information about that particular filter, including the query and the GPOs it's linked to.
Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP)
Group Policies can be pretty complex and can confuse even the most experienced administrator. This is especially true when you're trying to figure out what is going to happen when a number of policies are applied. Fortunately, the GPMC's Group Policy Results Wizard makes this determination easier.
To start the wizard, right-click on Group Policy Results in the navigation pane and select Group Policy Results Wizard from the shortcut menu. The first screen, shown in Figure G, asks you to specify which computer the wizard should report on.
|Figure G
|Select the computer to use for the wizard.
You can choose to limit the wizard results to a specific set of users, as shown in Figure H. For this example, I'll report on the current user, which is Administrator.
|Figure H
|Select the users to report on.
The last screen of the wizard, shown in Figure I, provides a summary of your selections. When complete, the results of the wizard are available under the Group Policy Results option in the navigation pane of the GPMC.
You can see in Figure I that this wizard provides a comprehensive view of the specified user, indicating which GPOs are applied and the reasons that other GPOs might not be applied. For example, the Default Domain Policy is not applied because the WMI filter applying the policy to just Windows XP Pro machines failed, since the user is currently logged into a Windows Server 2003 machine instead.
A definite improvement over Windows 2000
The Group Policies console offers a great way to manage the rights of users in your organization, but their complexity and the number of tools they require can make them confusing and difficult to manage. New features for Group Policies in Windows Server 2003 domains, such as the ability to tie a Group Policy to a WMI filter, make managing policies much easier. The GPMC consolidates Group Policy maintenance into a single management entity and provides valuable tools, such as the Group Policy Results Wizard, that make group policies even more powerful than before.

Near doesn't work for me at all either, and the PS3-Vita integration could be better in terms of trophies of vita games displayed on the ps3 and also How the system asks you to 'please wait' constantly. That's all software complaints, ad aside from that I love my vita. So none of the actual physical design of the Vita bothers me at all.

You didn't list constant freezes and shut down problems
07-02-2012 #11
The only freeze I came across was with the unit 13 demo off the store which was pulled and added with a fix as it was the demo itself that was causing the issue. Other than that, no other freezes for me.
Sometimes when playing I cover up the speakers but more often than not I play with earphones so rarely bothers me.
Other than that I haven't come across anything else I don't likes about it, 1 software glitch is Bluetooth randomly turns on now and then.... That's about it from me, I'm more than happy with it

I think your Vita may be $#@!ed. "constant freezes and shut down problems"? I know 7 Vita owners including myself and none have had issues with that. Get it checked out?
As for the system itself I feel it's pretty close to perfection. The start and select buttons are a bit of a hassle, though. So I'll vote for that

When I played on one in GAME awhile ago, the face buttons ( and the D-pad), all seemed to be really small (even smaller than the PSP buttons), but it could just be me playing out of my comfort zone, wouldn't stop me buying one for something like GTA though.

Never held a vita in my hands, but i have the feeling that the analog sticks should have been higher up,switched with d-pad and face buttons.

I can't see the poll as on Tapatalk but the only thing that's bothered me is the rear touchpad. It needs to be shorter (length ways) as my fingers float onto it just holding the unit.
Couldn't quite figure out why the screen was jumping on MGSHD whilst hiding in a locker, finally realised it was my fingers hitting the rear touch. Feels significantly less comfortable for me when I hold it in a way that doesn't accidentally interact with the touch pad on the rear.

I have bigger hands and I find opening and removing the game from the game slot to be a huge pain in the ass, which is why I do it as little as possible. I also feel the analog sticks are too close to the fact buttons, but I don't have nearly as much of a problem. And again, I also agree that the touch pad on the back should be smaller. I don't have a problem with the start button, though.

Lethal, you missed summit out bro..........the fact there are no good games is a massive flaw!
Thanks to Final for the sick sig!

That's not a design flaw though. And PS3 had no games, look at it now.

Bill Clinton makes secret campaign stop for Hillary in Detroit
DETROIT (WJBK) - Here's the question - is Hillary Clinton vulnerable in Michigan?
Well if Wednesday's private meeting about voter turnout is any indication - she just might be.
"Election's coming we want a good turnout," said Bill Clinton.
With the race to the white house tightening, former President Bill Clinton convened a secret meeting at Fellow Chapel in Detroit with local pastors, community leaders and elected officials Wednesday night.
The message is make sure Detroit turns out for Hillary.
"My understanding is we've got to make history on Nov. 8 and this is going to help energize people," said Councilman Scott Benson.
But enthusiasm for Clinton is reportedly waning and according to new polling from FOX 2 and Mitchell Research, Donald Trump has cut her lead to three percent in Michigan.
"From the beginning, everybody knows I've said the state is competitive and I was worried that complacency will settle in," said Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-12th District).
FOX 2: "Are you concerned that a lack of enthusiasm is going to put a damper on things for Democrats on Tuesday?"
"No I don't think there is a lack of enthusiasm," Dingell said. "So I'm not going to go along with that theory. I think a lot of people got complacent. They thought that it didn't matter, well this a reminder every vote does matter."
Dingell was joined by Rev. Jesse Jackson, Fellowship Chapel Pastor and local NAACP leader Rev. Wendell Anthony and a host of other clergymen and community leaders.
Benson he says he'll be going door to door in his district urging voters of the impact to go to the polls Tuesday and he's leading with fear.
"I'm going to give them some horror stories about what the other side is doing and what they want to do," he said. "And I'm going to tell them what's going to happen when we get someone responsible in office who is going to care about our community, whose administration is going to be carrying on the legacy of our current president who's been ensuring that Detroit has been receiving resources. (Like) new buses, like streetlights, drainage, infrastructure - that's been coming out of DC. And we need to be sure those resources continue to come to the city of Detroit."
The Michigan Republican Party released a statement about the secret meeting which reads in part:
"It seems fitting that a family that works as hard as the Clintons to avoid transparency would keep even a campaign stop a secret from the voters. However, given Bill's dealings with the Clinton Foundation and 'Bill Clinton, Inc.,' we shouldn't expect much better from a potential Hillary Clinton white house."

Just for a change, if you're an Ultrarunner, why not try joining a 5K race instead? Or try a track workout instead of doing your daily routine on the road always?
Or why not do this: In your running program, stop every 10 minutes and do push-ups. You'll be amazed at the new life it will breathe into your routine.
That's it for today. Have a happy 'running' period. : )
Cheers. : )
God be Praised!
