ISO has just launched an updated CD-ROM collection of its ISO 14000 family of environmental management standards that includes new or updated standards for use in climate change programmes, environmental labelling, life cycle analysis and environmental communication.
The CD features the three ISO 14064 standards for greenhouse gas accounting and verification, as well as the recently published ISO 14065:2007, which provides the requirements for the accreditation of bodies that carry out these activities. These standards will help organizations address climate change and support emissions trading schemes.
The new CD, ISO 14000, Environmental management, includes the latest editions of all 23 standards (plus a draft standard) constituting the ISO 14000 family developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 207, Environmental management. This collection covers:
- environmental aspects in product standards;
- product labelling and declarations;
- environmental management systems;
- auditing environmental and/or quality management systems (standard developed in cooperation with ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance);
- environmental performance evaluation;
- life cycle assessment;
- environmental communication;
- GHG emissions accounting and verification.
The ISO 14000 family provides a holistic approach to address the environmental management needs of organizations of all sizes, in public and private sectors. The most well known of these standards, ISO 14001, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006. It has become the international benchmark for environmental management systems, implemented in 138 countries, and now thoroughly integrated into the global economy.
Managing and improving environmental performance is now a recognized cornerstone of effective organizational practice alongside the management of quality, security, health and safety issues. The practical tools included in the CD will help businesses to strategically approach environmental management and contribute to sustainable development.
ISO Secretary-General Alan Bryden commented: "Environmental issues and sustainable development are rapidly becoming global priorities affecting all of our activities. Companies have to respond to government regulations, shareholder concerns and customer expectations. This new collection of ISO 14000 standards is a great tool to help organizations in both public and private sectors to get abreast of the latest developments in environmental management in a practical, user friendly way."
The ISO CD-ROM ISO 14000 Environmental management, ISBN 978-92-67-10446-1, costs 498 Swiss francs, and is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details). It may also be obtained directly from the ISO Central Secretariat, price 498 Swiss francs, through the ISO Store or by contacting the Marketing, Communication & Information department (see right-hand column).

Sarvangasana is one of the best yoga postures...
... but not for everyone!
I am writing this post to caution yoga enthusiasts against doing asanas [=yogic exercises] that do not suit them, and I repeat caution ad nauseum, don't I? Do not be carried away with claims of a thousand benefits of a particular asana. If you throw caution to the wind, you are likely to damage your body in more ways than one. I know of many people who have suffered by doing standard poses in bad ways, doing asanas that do not suit them and doing senseless exercises to impress others with their body-bending feats.
In simple terms, this asana is standing on shoulders. Lie down straight and raise legs till they are about 70-80 degrees up. Then slowly raise the entire body – the thighs, lower back and the upper back. When the body is upside down and resting on the shoulders, support the back with your bent arms.
When starting to lift the body, exhale slowly and keep doing it till you stand on the shoulder. Inhale slowly and then take breath normally . Hold yourself in this position for half a minute and slowly come down to lying posture, inhaling all the way. You can raise the holding time to three-four minutes or as long as you are comfortable, whichever is less.
Always remember to do matsyasana [=fish posture] after sarvangasana. In this posture, you lie down on the mat, slowly lift your middle part of the body and support this posture with elbows. It is be done slowly, without jerks, and for about half a minute leading to one or two minutes.
Savangasana [= exercise for the all organs] is one of the most beneficial asanas. It rejuvenates the entire body. Commonsense tell us that in this posture the neck is bent so much forward that the thyroid gland is pressed hard, blood flow reverses, the central nervous system bends and gets copious blood supply, and the muscles of shoulder, back and arms get heavy exercises. Even if this asana did only this much, it has the potential of exercising the body's circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems. But yoga-asanas are integrated exercises that help in many other ways – some of their benefits are being discovered by modern medicine through sophisticated instruments and diagnostic tools. Specific benefits of this asana [besides the overall health and rejuvenation] include incrased activity and vanishing of fatigue, improved pancreatic, thyroid and sex-gland functions, reversal of hernia, improved liver and renal activity, facial glow and lessening of age-related wrinkles.
But sarvangasana is not for all. It should not be performed by people with hypertension, any heart or brain ailment, weak lungs, spondylitis, back pain and glaucoma. Weak bodies should consult the doctor before performing this asana. If you are above 40 and not a yoga practitioner for long, avoid this asana. Even if you had been practicing it for ages, reduce its duration after around 50 years of age and consult your doctor. It is a no-no for pregnant women after three months of pregnancy. Sturdy people also should not do it when sick. Even if you are healthy in all senses, do it for not more than 3-4 minutes, starting with about 30 seconds and slowly increasing it. If you feel flush of blood on your face, slowly come down and do not practice this asana for longer than this duration. Do not come back to the lying posture in a jerk.

Its our wonderful customers that make the hard days easier to manage.
Thank you for your support! Here's what they have to say:
"Your chicken is so good it needs a warning label."
"I think there is real therapeutic value in knowing who grew your medicine or food."

"Please don't stop all your hard work, my family needs your food!"
"Zero, zip, zilch, nada."
-Ottawa Organic Farmers Market customer describing how our roasts don't shrink in the oven.
"We had a Funny Duck Farms Shoulder Roast to cook in the smoker for gourmet pulled pork sandwiches, but we also decided to do a taste test with a grocery store-bought shoulder and compare. The Funny Duck Farm roast was delicious and juicy and needed very little sauce or condiments, however, the grocery-store bought roast needed an entire bottle of BBQ sauce to add flavour and moisture. Funny Duck Farms pork is a delicious opportunity for you and your family - don't miss out."

Research Description
Subhash Chauhan Lab
Research Interest: Developing Molecular Markers for Early Cancer Diagnosis and Targeted Therapy for Cancer Treatment
Biomarkers for Early Cancer Diagnosis: Primary research interest of Dr. Chauhan's lab is to identify and characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic targets for cancer. Main focus of our research group is to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of cell-cell adhesion and anti-adhesion molecules that cause cancers. This research is aimed for the identification and characterization of biomarkers that aberrantly express or localize in cancer cells in order to develop newer tools for early disease diagnosis. We are utilizing genomics and proteomics approach for identification of novel early diagnostic markers. Recently we have identified a novel trans-membrane mucin MUC13 which is highly over-expressed ovarian and pancreatic and colon cancer cells. This may be potential biomarker for early cancer diagnosis as well as a good target for antibody guided targeted cancer therapy.
Optimization of Radioimmunotherapy for Cancer Treatment: The other research interest of Dr. Chauhan's lab is to develop novel radioimmunotherapy (RIT) and radioimmunodiagnostic (RID) modalities for the treatment and diagnosis of gynecological malignancies. Monoclonal antibodies/engineered single-chain Fvs offer a powerful approach to cancer therapy in view of their exquisite specificity and targeting capability via the delivery of cytocidal agents (i.e. radionuclides, enzymes, genes, drugs and cytotoxins). This research project is aimed to develop novel genetically engineered antibody molecules with reduced immunogenicity, desirable size and altered pharmacokinetics for the RID/RIT applications.
Development of a Novel Nanotechnology Based Therapy: Nonspecific distribution and suboptimal delivery of the anti-cancer drug(s) to the tumor cells are the major hindrances in the successful use of traditional chemotherapy. The cancer tissues overexpress TAG-72, MUC1, MUC13 and MUC16 antigens, and a combination of the antibodies against these three antigens will potentially recognize 100% of the cancer cells. These antibodies can be used to deliver the radionuclides and nanoparticles-encapsulated drugs specifically to the cancer cells. In addition, antibodies that have been labeled with alpha and beta emitting radionuclides (211At, 177Lu and 131I) of different linear energy transfer (LET) and have been designed against these tumor antigens will effectively target various sizes of metastatic lesions. Additionally, we are also developing a novel nanotechnology based gene therapy for cancer.

Information for the Lay Person:
Primary research interest of Dr. Chauhan's lab is to identify and characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic targets for cancer, such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer. This research is aimed for the identification and characterization of biomarkers that aberrantly express or localize in cancer cells in order to develop newer tools for early disease diagnosis. Recently we have identified a novel trans-membrane mucin MUC13 which is highly over-expressed ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells. This may be potential biomarker for early cancer diagnosis as well as a good target for antibody guided targeted cancer therapy.
Press Releases:
Curcumin nanoparticles the key to resistant cancers
Pre-treatment with curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric, makes ovarian cancer cells more vulnerable to chemo- and radio-therapy. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access Journal of Ovarian Research found that delivering the curcumin via very small (less than 100nm) nanoparticles enhanced the sensitizing effect.
Subhash Chauhan, PhD and Meena Jaggi, PhD led a team of researchers from the Sanford Research/USD and University of South Dakota, USA, carried out the in vitro study. They said, "One strategy to improve the effectiveness and limit the toxicity of cancer therapy is to induce chemo/radio-sensitization in cancer cells using natural dietary phytochemicals like curcumin. However, curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body, which limits its effectiveness; therefore, we have developed a nanoparticle formulation, Nano-CUR, to provide increased bioavailability as well as targeted delivery of curcumin into tumors".
The researchers tested the effects of their curcumin formulation on therapy-resistant ovarian cancer cells. They were able to show, for the first time, that the pre-treatment lowers the dose of cisplatin and radiation treatment needed to suppress the growth of the cancer cells. According to Chauhan, "Nanoparticle mediated curcumin delivery will further improve the sensitization and therapeutic capabilities. This study demonstrates a novel pre-treatment strategy that could be implemented in pre-clinical animal models and in future clinical trials".

text: DigitalDick Stevenson Named New York Times Chief Washington CorrespondentBy Chris O'Shea|January 15, 2013 ShareBy Chris O'Shea|January 15, 2013 Share Dick Stevenson has been named the New York Times' chief Washington correspondent. Stevenson has been with the paper since 1985, when he joined as a business reporter. He was a correspondent with the Times' Los Angeles and London bureaus before settling in Washington in 1996."If you've written a New York Times story with a Washington dateline in the last seven years, you have almost certainly benefited from the wisdom of Dick Stevenson," wrote Washington bureau chief David Leonhardt, in a memo. "He knows policy and politics inside out and has a rare talent for turning subjects into stories. Even as an editor, when he was spending most of his time improving the stories that the rest of us wrote, he found time to write standout Washington analysis."Leonhardt's full note is below.His piece comparing the 2012 election to 2004, all the way back in Oct. 2011, remains one of the smartest, most prophetic stories of the recent campaign.Now there will be many more such stories. Starting immediately, Dick becomes Chief Washington Correspondent, joining David Sanger in that role. Given their respective backgrounds, Dick will likely spend more time writing about domestic policy and politics, and David will spend more time writing about foreign policy and national security. But we have asked them to make sure they devote both of their brains to every important subject in Washington. David is particularly excited about the prospect of reuniting with a longtime journalistic teammate: David and Dick were young reporters in BizDay together; they were Washington economic correspondents together; and they covered the Bush White House together during two wars.As Dick's innovative work as politics editor has made clear, he has an unusually keen sense of the new world of digital journalism, and he plans on bringing that sense to his new role. In addition to enterprise stories and news analysis for the paper, he will be writing short pieces that will generally run on the Web in the morning. The pieces will carry their own label and sometimes – but not always – turn into stories for the paper. The goal with these pieces is to participate in the marketplace of ideas, as Dick puts it, at a time when The Times's Web site has an enormous audience.It's hard to imagine a background better suited to this new role. Besides having been politics editor, deputy bureau chief, White House correspondent and economics correspondent, Dick has previously been a correspondent in Los Angeles and London. As colleagues and readers, we're lucky that we'll again be able to read a steady stream of Dick's stories.David Sharehttp://adweek.it/2ksiMm8 copy Adweek Adweek

Mississippi Preview Capsule

Who's gone: G Stefan Moody, F Tomasz Gielo, F Anthony Perez, G Martavious Newby
Who's back: F Sebastian Saiz. The 6-foot-9 forward is back for his senior season after averaging 11.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game last season. G Rasheed Brooks. Averaged 8.3 points per game and made 44 3-pointers last season. Also second on the team with 42 steals.
Who's new: G Deandre Burnett. The 6-foot-2 Miami transfer will be one of the team's main scoring options on the perimeter. He averaged 7 points per game with the Hurricanes as a freshman.

Maybe that's why the Falcons suddenly have some mojo against the Bills.
The Falcons have come back to tie things with the Bills at 17 in Toronto, getting some surprising pop from their running game.
Steven Jackson is back from looking like Michael Turner, bursting his way to a 27-yard touchdown run. But Antone Smith was even more explosive, with a 38-yard run that took less time.
A Matt Bryant field goal just before halftime evened things up, after the Bills looked so solid early on.
C.J. Spiller already has 105 rushing yards, though 77 came on one run in the first possession.

Tap tap tap
This Easter I'm going to do something I never thought I'd do! I'm off to Stockholm Tap Festival! I'm traveling with my friend and Lindy teacher S. We'll both be taking classes although S has been tapping more than me so he will not be in my class. I'm obviously in the beginner level... Hopefully we will spend the days taking classes and the nights social dancing (not tap, Lindy hop) at Stockholm's swing music club Chicago, but I have had serious problems with my back these past weeks so I hope I can keep up. I'm looking forward to it though! Tap. Who would have though!

PROVINCETOWN — Just one floor up from Club Purgatory on Carver Street hangs one of the last bastions of convenience from the 20th century, looming on the edge of oblivion. The pay phone at the Gifford House is one of the last in Provincetown. It's still shiny in places, but most of it is beaten to hell, scratched and dented from years of wear and tear. Its handset is yellow, an obvious replacement.
"I've been here 23 years. It was here when I got here," says Gregg Daniels, bar manager at the Gifford House. "They used to pay us to have it here. Now we pay them."
The Gifford House pay phone is outside, and open 24-7. One can call anywhere in the world, with coins or without. It's 25 cents if you've got it. You can make a collect call or use a credit card if you don't.
"Any given summer night, seven or eight cell phones are lost by customers of Purgatory," says Jim Foss, owner of the Gifford House. "We keep it here for emergencies like that, and for older people who don't have cell phones, and for foreign travelers."
Not as true to the spirit of pay phones is the one in Stop & Shop on Shank Painter Road. Because it is inside the store, it's available only when the supermarket is open, breaking pay phone tradition for sure, but the owner, Pacific Telemanagement Services, is still hustling, doing what it takes to survive.
Most people walk right by the pay phone without seeing it. Where other stores have a fire extinguisher, the Stop & Shop has a pay phone tatted up with free and discount calling ads. It is covered in star numbers for cheap collect calls and free calls: "Dial4less," "4 Minutes for $1.00 worldwide" and "Save $ on Collect Calls." Some ads are bilingual, where translated text shares the space: "Marque *22 Para Llamadas Por Cobarar."
Most compelling is the bright yellow Free Calls banner at the top of the phone. It displays a list of star numbers that have very little to do with each other: Social Security — Press *13; Wells Fargo — Press *17; Need Help Finding a Job — Press *12; and Get God's Blessings/Daily Prayer — Press *10. A call to Get God's Blessings or a Daily Prayer led to the unexpected.
"In the beginning, we started to get calls from all over the country and didn't know why," says Jacob, the prayer associate on the other end of the line, who answers calls for Daystar Television Network. "We now get about 100 calls a day from pay phones around the United States."
Jacob cannot give his last name over the phone, he says. It's company policy.
"When someone calls, we do a prayer together over the phone, and then we pray for them daily for 30 more days," he says.
Daystar Television Network, whose slogan is "Spreading the Gospel — By Television and Video," is based in Bedford, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As a Christian faith-based network, Daystar spreads the Gospel 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all around the globe, through all media formats — including pay phones.
Though it is a media network, Daystar classifies itself as a church and is tax-exempt. It reported $233 million in assets back in 2014. In 2016, Daystar experienced triple-digit growth in donations from 18 countries. There's no telling how much of that came from people calling the free number on pay phones.
"Do you have a prayer request?" Jacob checks one last time before hanging up.
Pay phones were once a steady source of revenue for telecommunications giants such as Verizon and AT&T. When the business dried up in the 2000s, Pacific Telemanagement Services (PTS), in San Leandro, Calif., bought over 25,000 pay phones across the country and took over pay phone support services abandoned by the telecom giants as well. When contacted for comment on the profitability of pay phones, the customer service associate at PTS had no answers, but passed questions along to "higher ups." No one returned the Banner's calls.
But you don't have to be a telecom giant or buy their assets at a fire sale to be in the pay phone business. Anyone can install a pay phone these days by finding a spot, making sure profit-sharing is negotiated if it is going to be placed on someone else's property. Verizon and AT&T may be out of the pay phone business, but they can still provide the services. You'll have to purchase the phone itself. Payphone.com has all the classic equipment you would ever need to launch your pay phone enterprise.
According to the Payphone Project, a website dedicated to preserving the history of pay phones, Provincetown once had more than 70 pay phones. They were everywhere, from gas stations and convenience stores to Race Point and in the Provincetown treasurer's office.
But not anymore. After dialing over half of the pay phone numbers listed on the website, it became evident that Provincetown is pretty much devoid of the old gray call box. A recording answers with the disappointing triple beep, and then the ever-level-headed female voice says, "We're sorry. This number is no longer in service. For money-making offers, please press 5."

Disney and Marvel teamed up with China-based DMG Entertainment to co-produce Iron Man 3 and help promote and launch the movie in China.
We designed the reveal of Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ), which launched his Chinese tour for the movie.
Screens displayed the six previous suits used in the first two Iron Man movies. The screens separated and RDJ rose up out of the floor.
As it was RDJ's birthday, we decided to set a Guinness World Record for having the largest birthday card.
To say the least, he loved the show.

It's one thing for parents to give their kids unfortunate names on accident. I mean, maybe they weren't called BJ's back when I was born. Or maybe, the parents of these poor people just didn't think it through long enough.
But parents who intentionally decide to be funny and/or clever with their kids names should be punched in the face every time they introduce their children.
Here are 10 names that are so bad they had to have been done on purpose. Why these parents thought it was a good idea, I'll never know. But I'm betting the people that came up with the last name on our list were high.
- Rusty Pipes (Airway Heights, WA) – Rusty always felt his parents pressured him to take over the family plumbing business a little too early in life.
- Mercedes Benz (Cypress, TX) – Who knew that the famous Janis Joplin song was actually about human trafficking?
- Phil McCracken (Weed, CA) – How many wedgies a day do you think poor Phil got at school? 10? 20? Let's just pray he never goes to jail.
- Dusty Rhodes (Ada, OK) – In Oklahoma there are plenty of dusty roads but only one of 'em is a person.
- Anita Morehead (Garland, TX) – This should be considered child abuse. I'm not kidding.
- Pierce E Paine (Columbia, MD) – The best thing Pierce can do is become a doctor or go by Mr.
- Mary Christmas (Americus, GA) – There are actually quite a few Mary Christmas's so all you parents who think you're being funny & clever… you're not. It's been done. A LOT.
- Dear Beloved (Placida, FL) – How badly do you hope their middle mane is Lee?
- Candy Cain (Chicago, IL) – Do you suppose her parents were surprised when their precious little girl grew up to become a stripper?
- Mary Juana (Ligonier, PA) – Please Mary, just one last dance? I'd almost be willing to pay for Mary to move next door to Phil from #3, or at least in the same town…
Maybe parents should have to ask a class full of teenagers before being allowed to name their children. I'm bettin the poor saps on this list would vote for a law like that…

LaplaCell 300 & LaplaCell 600 LaplaCells are specifically intended for use by manufacturers so that they can test their own products efficiently. The LaplaCell design is an advance on the well known GTEM concept. However, the use of a dual septum provides: better field uniformity compact external size balanced septum fed with impedance conversion network to better match OATS conditions Built-in field sensor Camera and lighting options. They exceed the requirements of IEC61000-4-20, thus affording compliant testing to IEC61000-4-3 and pre-compliance testing for radiated emission testing.

top ten books i really want to read but don't own yet

5. The Quotable Doctor Who: Wise Words from Across Space and Time by Cavan Scott.

So technically this one's not been released yet, but hey! It's not on my shelf. Oooh, so excited for this one. More villain backstory, which is always the best.
10. Bad Girls: Sirens, Jezebels, Murderesses and Other Female Villains by Jane Yolen.
Ooh, all about female criminals, and whether or not they were truly evil or not! This one sounds so interesting, I can't wait to read it!

Jordan and Attarat Power Company (APCO) has signed a US$2.2bn deal to build oil shale-fueled power plant with a capacity of 470MW
Mohammad Hamed, Jordan's minister of energy, said that the oil shale-fueled power plant will begin operations by the end of 2018 and will cut the country's energy spending by US$500mn annually, adding that the plant is the first of its kind in the region.
According to Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour, the initial phase of the project will deliver around one-sixth of Jordan's total power consumption. In later stages the plant will produce crude oil, he added.
The oil shale-fueled power plant is expected to help the country's efforts to reduce energy imports from 97 per cent currently to 60 per cent by 2020.

Rosaura Revueltas in Salt of the Earth (1954)
Everybody knows this infamous line from the movie 'On the Waterfront' – a propaganda movie about corrupt union bosses that Hollywood gladly made. But not too many folks know about 'Salt of the Earth' – a movie whose makers were blacklisted and terrorized by the U.S. government, major Hollywood studios, and other criminals. You thought Michael Moore had it bad having to deal with death threats? Nothing taken away from Moore's efforts, but the makers of this simple movie were terrorized far worse. Click here to watch the video.


text: Sadasiva Kona Waterfalls, Puttur: The Sadasiva Kona is famous for its water falls and it is a religious location as well as a nature spot situated remotely on the Puttur-Tirupati route and just 10 km from Majjiga Gunta. The place is densely populated with thick trees and vegetation with snobbish hillocks and mountain heads covering around giving a panoramic view of waterfall. The temple of Lord Sadasiva (an incarnation of Lord Shiva) along with his wife Goddess Kamakshi is situated near the waterfalls and the major festivals celebrated here are Maha Shivaratri, Vaikunta Ekadasi and all Mondays during the Karthika Masam. During these days devotees in a large number visit the temple from several parts of the state and Tamil Nadu state as well. The temple was constructed by the king of Karvetinagaram who patronized and worshipped Lord Sadasiva and Goddess Kamakshi.

Device to Boost Solar Panel Power Output
Wednesday, June 22, 2016 @ 03:06 PM gHale
As advancements in solar cell technologies significantly improved sunlight-to-energy conversion efficiencies, without continued advancements in panel technology, photovoltaic (PV) systems will never realize their maximum potential.
This is because technological limitations prevent solar panels – which amplify and boost the electric current generated by multiple solar cells – from supplying all the electricity they generate to the electric grid.

Ultra-Sensitive Gas Sensor
That may soon change as a team of researchers from the Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi may have discovered a way to overcome these technological limitations in the most popular PV connection system through a novel, low-cost and easy-to-install device that could significantly increase the amount of power generated by the system.
"The problem occurs in series-connected solar panels (which is one of the most common ways of connecting solar panels for distributed PV systems), when solar modules are experiencing varying levels of irradiation or temperature. This can result from sporadic clouds, dust accumulation on the PV panels, or uneven air ventilation. In these instances, the current generated by each module is different," said Masdar Institute Research Engineer Omair Khan.
"The low-performing solar modules affect the energy output of the entire string of solar panels, as the maximum power output is governed by the lowest current in the system. This means that if one solar module is shaded and thus generating a low current, and is connected in series to several good, high-performing modules, then the high-performing modules cannot operate at higher currents," he added.
The device developed by Khan and Masdar Institute Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Dr. Weidong Xiao aims to optimize the power output of the series-connected solar panels.
Series-connection is how the majority of PV panels end up connected in a PV system and to electrical grids, including small-scale rooftop PVs and large-scale solar power plants.
Series-connected solar panels direct the electrical currents produced by each submodule (usually three submodules form a solar panel) through the group, or "string," of connected solar panels to the string's centralized converter. The drawback of series-connected solar panels is that each panel needs to share the same electric current, which is set by the submodule with the lowest current.
Khan and Dr. Xiao discovered a way to get around this "lowest current" limitation that series-connected solar panels face, through their device – called a "submodule integrated converter" – which tracks and feeds each of the three independently produced electrical currents for one solar module directly into the centralized converter, thus boosting the PV system's overall power output, especially in the case of a current mismatch.
It does this by capitalizing on the key properties of gallium nitride, which is the material used to make the converter's switches. Gallium nitride's high electrical conductivity is able to convert 99 percent of the power produced by each submodule into electricity for the centralized converter and enables the device to be made small enough to fit into the existing junction box on the back of each solar panel. Thus, the device can easily install into existing solar panels without needing to retrofit or re-build conventional solar panel systems.
"By employing a dedicated converter to independently perform maximum power point tracking on each submodule, rather than the string of modules as a whole, means that the operating point of each submodule has no effect on the rest of the submodules in the system. Each converter extracts the maximum power possible from each submodule, thus maximizing the PV system's energy-efficiency," Khan said.
"Through this novel device, we are able to get more electricity out of conventional solar panels using a method that is easily scalable," Dr. Xiao said.
The researchers plan to optimize the product and develop a ready-to-install version capable of withstanding the UAE's harsh weather.

The Differences Between Alcohol and Marijuana
3 comments:
Great point, I've wondered myself about the differences between these substances and if there is a difference. It's tempting for me to considered edible forms of pot as a viable method of enjoying the THC. It's supposed to be less of a head high and more of a body buzz. But regardless it is the buzz that I'd be after, just another form of self medicating.ReplyDelete
"This is where the problem lies: if people are drinking or smoking to get high, then there is a problem."ReplyDelete
sums it up, really. Shout that from the roof tops. Great post. I think many in modern life would be shocked by this perspective, it might well have never occurred to them.

I think this is one of those predicaments for which there is no "magic bullet" policy solution. There is no "perfect" policy - only "better or "worse".

The long wait is over. Now, it's time for you to act.
More than a year after proposing changes to the rules that define which employees are eligible for overtime pay, the Labor Department has issued final rules.
As a result, by Aug. 23, you'll need to analyze each white-collar position in your company to see how it fits under the new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) definitions of "exempt employees" (not eligible for overtime) and "nonexempt employees" (eligible for overtime).
With these clearer rules, it will be simpler to decide who is due overtime and who is exempt, which should reduce your legal risks. Downside: You could be forced to shell out more overtime pay to lower-paid professional workers.
Here's a summary of the new rules. For details, access our E-visory report (see box at right).
