Just received my cheque for $500.
Many times people don't believe me when I tell them about how much money you can get by taking paid surveys online...
So I took a video of myself actually getting paid over $500 for taking paid surveys to set the record straight once and for all.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates (469 BC – 399 BC) was a Greek philosopher. He is mainly known through the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon.
How little

This quote is so true, the older I get the more I realize that the less I understand and know. Yet I have more clarity on how I want to live my life :)ReplyDeleteReplies
True about the older bit. I remember being a teenager and thinking I understood it all.LOLDelete
Great post :) I am only 21 and I agree that with age comes wisdom, but never true understanding. I often look back on life and to the future and find it hard to believe how much has changed and how much I have learned, yet there is so much to learn.ReplyDelete

Railway Operations
Fully integrated communication solutions
Atos offers telecommunications solutions for various applications used by railway operators. With our command and control solution we are contributing to safety improvement and increase operational efficiency with our operations and maintenance support systems.
We do not just deliver single components but fully integrated end-to-end solutions, making it easy for railway operators to focus on their core businesses and competences.
Command, Control, Communication
Efficient operations for safe journeys
Our command control communication (C3) solution enables the staff of command and control centers to communicate with and manage all the stakeholders involved in railway operations.
We not only enable voice communication over different network technologies but also provide applications which enable the management of railway-specific scenarios. This leads to more efficient operations and safer journeys.
Perfect safety and efficient operations
A modern control center has to make the dispatching process as efficient as possible, give the operator intuitive access to all the necessary information and functionalities and, at the same time, be easy to operate. This is what we achieve with our C3 platform by combining manually triggered actions by operators and comprehensive background automatism, reflecting situations in the field in real time. Furthermore, our platform integrates various common communication technologies with unified application front ends. The system features a single seamless interface to all communication systems.
One-Stop Test and Integration Lab
Vital for testing functionality and interoperability of components and solutions before installation as well as for certification purposes

By the time the last couple of months of the year roll around, some people are a bit tired. As a result, they may put off some decisions, both big and small until the new year starts back up. But others see no reason to wait, and they don't delay when it comes to those decisions. One of these is buying a house, and if you've been thinking of putting you home up for sale this is just one of the reasons why you should go ahead and list during the holidays, rather than waiting for the calendar to turn.
Besides just not wanting to wait, you can take advantage of the fact that holiday decorations have a way of really making a house look like a home, making your home all that more attractive. It also doesn't hurt that there is less competition at the end of the year, which increases your chance of getting a better price for your home.
If you're worried about moving in the middle of the season, it's not necessary. Agreements that are struck in the midst of the season normally don't result in anyone actually moving until January or February at least — giving you and your family ample opportunity to tie up all your holiday loose ends before moving on.
If you've been thinking of putting your home on the market near Irvine, California. It's a good idea to have a serious talk with a local realtor. Judy Qualls of Aspero Realty is an expert negotiator and is ready to help you put your home's best foot forward with your holiday listing. To learn more, contact Judy Qualls today.

Red Sox Champions Carry Their Own Bags
No!!! It can't be!!! And yet there is Manny Ramirez doing it. Pulling it ALL BY HIMSELF.
This is Hideki Okajima -- Okie as he is known on the Red Sox-- CARRYING HIS OWN BAG.
Okay, well, Okie is not a HUGE star so maybe we're not totally surprised. Look how small that bag is. Hope he has enough underwear in there.
Looking very Donald Sutherlandesque, Curt Schilling carries HIS own bag and wears BEIGE of all things. What was he thinking? Plenty of underwear and a pillow for beauty sleep.
Tim Wakefield is happy because the knuckleball is known to swerve around an extra revolution in Japan. A little bit of sushi between the cheek and gum, my friends.
Jason Varitek is manly in any country, and I know he would change my tire on the highway. Do they drive on the wrong side?
This is a very satisfying photograph (all are from the Boston Globe--YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST). Always in Boston, Dice K hangs back, looks shy, seems out of place. BUT NOT IN TOKYO, BABY! Can't you just picture him coming alive? HEY, COME ON, YOU GUYS, I GOT THREE MORE DIVE BARS TO TAKE YOU TO BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER. I'M KING OF THE DART TEAM AT TWO OF THEM!
Just look at that smile!!! I'm thinking no-hitter for the opening.
Josh ain't here anyway.
A bientot and thanks again to the Boston Globe.
love from Red Sox Nation,

Flaming Red and Friendship

That bazaar sounds just my thing, shame I am not local! I absolutely love the hollyhock cloth, might try and paint some - it really is too good to be a tea cloth - glad you have found a new love for red/orange, warm colours lift our spirits. BettyReplyDelete
Hello Catherine, Crikey that must of been scary....we had a fire in our village years ago, of an old factory. And when our chimney caught fire I was so scared. glad you are ok. I have recently fallen in love with red again...how strange, I'm thinking Red is the new black!! xxReplyDelete
Take good care xx
What a beautiful website! I love the colors and the artwork. I read about the fire in the paper(I'm from Rotorua) but seeing it in your pictures is a different thing altogether. It must have been a bit terrifying for you all.ReplyDelete
I'm off to bed soon but have followed your blog so I can study it more as time allows :-)
Tammy Robinson
Hi Catherine,the fire must of been very frightening,but what lovely colours it is.Love your red buttons and hollyhocks,all of your pictures are beautiful,I do love the red heart tree.Love Jill xxReplyDelete
Hi Katie-Nana!ReplyDelete

Orange? Well, there is a lot of it around, isn't there?
The fire shots are incredible!

We flew to LA on May 30th to acclimate for David's meet & greet with Gordon Ramsay. They plan an extra "down" day fir the child to adjust to the time zone. Mark took the kids (David, Austin, and their step sister, Kelly) and Susan to Knott's Berry Farm. David has been cleared for roller coasters, and so they had a full day of rides.
I spent most of my day alone, but caught up with a friend (via phone) that really needed to talk and then shopped for birthday presents for Austin. I went all over – from Santa Monica to Burbank – and saw lots of LA that I had never seen before. I ended up at this place called "It's a Wrap" that sells clothes used on movie and tv sets. It was a pretty cool place, and I got Austin a bracelet from "The Ghost Whisperer" and a shirt from "CSI: NY".
Make a Wish finally called in the afternoon and confirmed times for today – we meet at 2:00pm for the ride over. We will be there during a taping of Hell's Kitchen.
Mark called after that and said I could go to dinner with them if I wanted to. It was very nice to be able to share in part of the birthday celebration for Austin.
Looking forward to David meeting Chef Ramsay today!

The revamping of late-night TV continues as a fresh face enters the arena.
Meet the new comedic contender in CBS's corner: James Corden. Never heard of him? CBS isn't worried; they're betting on the big talents of their British find.
It's risky business for the network, but we like their confidence in making such a bold move, selecting an overseas performer — well known in the U.K. but a relative unknown in the U.S. — over the American talents angling for the gig.
A native of High Wycombe, England, Corden, 36, was just as shocked as everyone else when he landed the job as the replacement for Scotsman Craig Ferguson, who exited The Late Late Show in December after a 10-year run as host.
"There is just no rhyme or reason why I should be given the opportunity to host a late-night talk show and talk to America every night and hopefully try and make them smile before they fall asleep," Corden told TV critics at a press conference in Los Angeles in January.
"If I'd have told my 12-year-old self that [this] would happen, my head would explode," Corden added.
Before The Late Late Show with James Corden debuts on Monday, March 23rd (airing weeknights at 12:35 a.m. on CBS), here are a handful of things to know about the newly crowned talk show host.
1. So, just who is James Corden, anyway?
Corden, the married father of two young children, is a multi-talented performer — an actor, comedian, Tony winner, writer, producer and now late-night host. He might be best known for co-writing and co-starring in the hit BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey (2007-2010). He's also appeared on the big screen, co-starring in recent films such as Into the Woods with Meryl Streep and Begin Again with Keira Knightley. Corden may also be familiar to Broadway fans: He won a Best Actor Tony Award in 2012 for One Man, Two Guvnors.
2. Expect a few tweaks to the usual American late-night format.
The new Late, Late Show producers plan to "respect the traditions of late night," while giving the show their own twists. "You don't want to look like the arrogant British guy who has no respect for the very institution that we're taking on," Corden acknowledged.
A few things that will be different: Don't expect a traditional monologue; watch for the guests to come out and sit together (similar to the BBC's Graham Norton Show); and look for stocked bar next to the couch (a la Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live).
Corden's very first guest will be Tom Hanks. Look for him to be joined on the couch by actress Mila Kunis. Other guests lined up for Corden's premiere week debut include Kerry Washington (Tuesday), Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell (Wednesday).
3. People shouldn't wonder if "British humor will translate to American audiences."
"Funny is funny," according to Corden. "I think if it's good, it travels."
As for the tone he's hoping for, "We want to make a warm show, a show that never feels spiky…"
4. He'll be the young gun of the late-night bunch, as all of the networks work to skew younger across the board.
At age 36, Corden clocks in as the only under-40 late-night host on broadcast TV (Fallon is exactly 40), so CBS is making a clear grab at targeting the desirable younger demo. Corden already has a solid social media base with 4.9 million Twitter followers, so look for a lot of viral videos a la the two Jimmys (Fallon and Kimmel).
5. Yes, he's nervous…especially since he still doesn't know exactly what the show will look like.
"The truth is we could prep for this show for a year. It's only in the doing of it that it's going to tell us what it is," Corden told reporters. "We're going to make mistakes, and we're going to get things wrong, but hopefully, we're going to get something right as well. And I think we have a really great shot with the team that we're putting together of making a show that finds its own audience, a group of people who go, 'This is the person I want to sit with as I cozy up in bed, and this is the person that's going to make me feel like everything's going to be all right.'"
The Late Late Show with James Corden premieres Monday, March 23rd on CBS.

WASHINGTON — Washington Mystics star Elena Delle Donne has a bone bruise in her left knee and will be listed as questionable for Game 3 of the WNBA semifinal series against the Atlanta Dream.
The Mystics announced Delle Donne's status Wednesday, two days before they host the Dream.
The best-of-five series is tied at 1-all.
Delle Donne was injured on a drive to the basket with a little more than 3 minutes left in Washington's 78-75 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday night.
The Mystics were leading 70-68 when she was hurt. Delle Donne had 27 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal before leaving the game.
She is one of the WNBA's top players, winning MVP honors in 2015 and finishing third in the voting for that award this season.

Here is the sequel!! It's finally up!!! So read.. and vote.. and comment..
Oh I changed the name.. It is now I love my best friend.. Who is the vampire king. Since when did he become king?!
But it's still the same story.. Just a different name. The other was too long.
Chapter One
"Come on Avon!" He calls.
"Coming!" I yell back. I hop over my fence into my best friend's backyard. I look at him stunned. He doesn't have a shirt on and his swimwear is low on his hips. His eight caramel abs are glistening in the sun and I can see some of his hips. My eyes trail up and his chest is sculpted to perfection. His shoulder's are wide but just right. His lips are the color of dark pink and they are always pulled into my favorite smile showing his pearly white teeth. His chocolate brown eyes can stare deep into my soul and his black hair is cut in an emo style. All of his muscules are in the right places. So handsome..
Nothing compared to me.
I let out a sigh as I walk up to him.
Who was this stunning man I just described?
Skyler Ian-James Brooks, my best friend.
And the sad thing is..
He doesn't know I've been in love with him for years.. Sigh again.
My name is Avonlea Danis Sixx. Yes my dad is the singer from the band Black Veil Brides. Everyone loves their music still even though they've stopped making albums and stuff. My dad officially changed his last name to Sixx because.. Well he said it sounded cool.
I am 18 years old and I'm no studded beauty like my mom. She was a model. Annabell Lauren Long was her supermodel name. She is really beautiful.
I inherited her caramel colored hair with natural blonde streaks in it and her body. I got my dad's blue eyes that everyone asks where I got from and that they look really farmiliar. I love my exotic look. Yeah. The poparratzi doesn't know I'm their daughter. It's really sad actually. But they notice my younger sister, Lizzie. It doesn't bother me. I'd rather be out of the loop sometimes.
I've known Sky since I was born. His mom is best friends with my dad so we bought a house next to them and spend every day at eachother's houses. My window is right across from Sky's and I can jump onto the tree to go into his room or vise versa. I've loved Sky ever since I was 13. But when he became 17 and when I was 16 something changed in him. He became more secretive. He didn't come home until the year after that. He didn't call or anything. It really bothered me. I missed him alot. But he's back now and he's fine.. I just shrugged it off but he's been more. I just can't put my finger on it. He's been just..wierder with me. Like he's holding a secret or something.
My mom and dad told me not to worry about it so I don't.
"You alright?" Sky asks. I turn away from him so he doesn't see my blush. I calm myself and turn back to face him. "Arent you going to swim?"
I just smile a little at him. "Yeah.. Just urmm.." He walks up to me and tugs my shirt over my head. I glare at him and flush in embarassment. I notice something flash in his eyes, but it quickly disappears. I act like that didn't happen. I've been hiding these feelings for years I can hide them for the rest of my life..
"Stupid! Don't!" I push back from him. I pull down my jean shorts to reveal my splatter paint bikini bottoms.
"Yeah.. You really need to stop being so negative about your body. It's nice.." He says to me smirking. I roll my eyes and grab my shirt from him to throw onto the chair. I plant my toes on the end of the pool then jump in.
-Skyler's POV-
"Yeah.. You really need to stop being so negative about your body. It's nice." She rolls her eyes, grabs her shirt from me, and passes me. Her scent fills my nose. It's sweet like her. It's like strawberries. It takes everything in me to not grab her and make her mine. I want to kiss her and make love to her. I want to tell her about me being a vampire. I want to tell her about me being the King of all vampires.
And her being my soulmate.
But I can't.. Not now.. I don't think she'll ever forgive me for not telling her..
She doesn't even love me..
But I don't think I can hold it in anymore..
-Back to Avonlea's POV-
I swim back up from the cool water, but an hand grabs my ankle pulling me back down. I turn and see Sky smiling at me. I kick his chest pushing him away and swim up feeling my lungs burn for air.
My head breaks the surface and I take a big breath. I love the water. It's so relaxing. Arms wrap around my waist and I turn to see Sky staring at me. His face is close to mine. His chocolate brown eyes captivate mine. I can't look away.. I can't even move if I want too..
"Shh.." He says. I just stare at him. He starts to lean in but then stops.
Please kiss me, I plead in my head. Please. God! I shouldn't be saying these things! He can never like someone like me!
He pulls back and dips down into the water. I sigh and lift myself onto the edge of the pool. I get up and grab my towel and wrap it around myself. I shouldn't have let him get so close.. He doesn't like me like that. He can't.
I go into Sky's house and my best friend, Ariane (or Ari for short) making out with her boyfriend, Manny. They don't even notice me come in.
"Ahh my innocent eyes!" I yell at them while coverig my eyes. The laugh at me after they pull away. I uncover my eyes to see Ari on Man's lap.
"So.. What happened to the pool fun outside?" Ari asks. I stiffen and my face hardens again.
"Nothing. I'm just gonna head to my room. Alright?" I hide the trace of sadness in my voice. They both nod but Ari gives me a questioning look. I shake my head and head upstairs.
I feel bad for not telling Ari that I love her brother. But it would make things very awkward.
I get to my room. Yes I have my own room. They built another floor for me, Ari, and Sky. We have our own living room too. I go to my room and collapse onto my bed. My room is connected to Sky's room and we share a bathroom thats in between out to rooms. I really don't want to see him. Maybe I'll take a shower.
I go into the bathroom and strip my clothes jumping into the warm shower. I start thinking to myself. Was he about to kiss me? No he wouldn't.. He's not into me like that.. He won't like plain janes.. He only sees me as a best friend.
Then I start crying. Crying hard.
So here it is.. Vote and comment!! :) :) :) No really.. vote and comment! I wanna see what y'all think (again)
Oh yeah and where I live we have alot of testing to do. my brain is fried.. like seriously. so bye!
I love my best friend.. Who is the vampire king. Since when did he become king?!Vampire
This is the story about Skyler and Avonlea.. The sequel to Adopted into a vampire family, just to marry their son?!?! Yes this is the same one I wrote in a sample in that one.. I just changed the title.

Hey y'all! Got some epic new tunes out! Check 'em out on Youtube! >:D (I may consider applying 30-second promos here, but nothing more than that! Sorry folks; if I'm to release a legit EP, it can't be more than that! :( )

Hey everyone!
Yes, I have an important announcement to make...
After so many years of being the generic "mr-jazzman", I believe that I have finally found my niche as a dubstep/dubcore/DnB producer. Don't get me wrong! I love all forms of music (except for country >P), but this is what I've been passionate about fulfilling.
So, I need to change my name to fit the genre I'm producing a little better. Not only does "mr-jazzman" return a very ambiguous answer on Youtube, Soundcloud, etc., but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I'm producing currently. Does it debase the fanbase I've already made? Hopefully not! =\ I'm still the same person producing the same bass-heavy music that y'all love...I just have a different name.
Hence, if you see the name "Bassfly" out there on the internet, be sure it's me! =D

Hi there folks! Many of you may think that I haven't been alive. But it's in fact been the exact opposite for me. I've been creating some absolute masterpieces of late, and I hope to be releasing them soon. Among them (and besides the Reflections 2 that I've been planning to release at some point this year) is a song that I'm titling "Refractions," my sequel to what many claim is one of the best dubstep tunes on NG, "Reflections." Keep your ears peeled for this one, because I hope to release a demo of it shortly here for y'all to nibble on as I continue to work on my EP.
Also, many thanks to everyone who voted in the Indaba Run The Heart Remix Contest for me! As a result of your votes, I came in 4th place overall -- good enough to win the merchandise! When it finally gets mailed to me, I'll show y'all exactly what you helped me win! =D
Thanks a bunch, and keep on rockin' (or skankin', whichever you prefer. ;) )

For those of y'all interested in dubstep, check out my remaster of Reflections. Yes, it's loud; yes, it's bassy. I hope that's enough for you to listen...along with the fact that it has metal influences too!
Also, I recently made a drumstep tune, which is my take on Sakupen's "Hell Yes." I did remove that one about a week ago, but decided to reupload it. Here it is! If you like deep formant bass, you'll probably dig this one.
Iron God (Sakupen "Hell Yes" Drumstep Remix)
Enjoy! As I've stated before, I'm going to devote most of my time now to making an album. Hopefully it goes well; the stuff that I've been working on very recently has been extremely exciting and quite professional-sounding (a claim made not just by me but mostly by my friends), so I have a lot to look forward to - including a hell of a lot of inspiration and work! =P
In fact, if anyone wants to design an album cover for me in the future, I'd love to see it. There's many talented artists on NG, and many I'd be very proud to hire for the job! =D
Your friendly neighborhood dubstep producer,

If you like the sound of dubstep/drumstep, this one should get you excited. This is the NG version of it right here, meaning lower bitrate and some (slightly) experimental mastering. I want y'all to know that I almost didn't put this one up here because of some stuff that happened recently to some of my friends (see the previous news post), and also I want to start producing some professional stuff -- so y'all are lucky listening to it right now! Ultimately, it's because I have to upload it to the Audio Portal for the contest...=P Sorry, I know that sounds snide and prideful, saying that "my music is possibly too good for NG" (and some would highly disagree probably), but if I want to achieve my goals, I must prevent my greatest stuff from being subject to the free download.
Iron God (Sakupen - "Hell Yes" Drumstep Remix)
And since I want to take my music into a new direction besides the free forum, this is perhaps one of the last true tracks that I intend to make solely for NG. From here on out, most of my efforts will be directed towards producing an album. This is not to say that I won't be submitting anything here ever again, but it may be more experimental in nature. Jazzman is NOT dead; I am just taking it to a different level. I realize I have so much more to learn, and I believe that this path will ultimately teach me more than I can even imagine! =)
Thank you all who have supported me throughout the past year; y'all are the reason that I want to continue to make the best music I possibly can!
Your friendly neighborhood dubstep, drumstep, DnB, and heavy metal producer,

Hey folks! So I was just on Youtube, and I found a man named DJ Xtreme that ripped music from our very own Audio Portal artists, Aydin and xKore. Check it out:

Unbelievable. I threw up when I saw this. I guess this means be extremely careful when you produce your music, and keep tabs on it.
Also, this is a good message to send out to everyone: NEVER STEAL ANOTHER ARTISTS MUSIC, EVEN IF IT'S A FREE DOWNLOAD. Seriously, it's such a douche thing to do. I know, I know, it's common sense...but then again, not really, apparently. Just don't do it, period, or I will personally go out on a crusade to shut you down and make sure you can never submit anything to another site on the Internet ever again.
Just lookin' out for my homeboys here on NG. ;) Have a good day y'all!
Your friendly neighborhood dubstep producer,
Posted by mr-jazzman - July 18th, 2010
Alright, so I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I'm kind of bummed, but music is definitely gonna have to take a backburner as I go back to college life. So, some of the stuff that I've been planning on doing is either gonna be delayed or not happen at all. However, that doesn't mean I won't be able to develop some exciting tunes before the year finishes out. Currently, this is my list of endeavors for the rest of the year:
-Make my Metalstep tune
-Collab with my NGADM brother, Gravey (currently in the works)
-Collab with my first dubstep brother, Aydin (I'm thinkin somethin for Halloween. ;) )
-Probably another collab with my second dubstep brother, DJ FiendO (not entirely sure when)
-Collab with my third dubstep brother, Haywirehaywire (also not entirely sure when)
-Make 1 or 2 more excellent dubstep tunes in the vein of Mt. Eden, Pendulum, and Flux Pavilion...an essential follow-up to Reflections. ;)
-Get back into a few warm-up Drum n Bass tunes...anyone down for an addition to my "Peril" series? =) I am, and I've got an amazing DnB sound goin now. No joke, I've got some drums that could rival Pendulum's now, and I'm kinda excited to show y'all when I'm done with it. =)
Really though, most of my efforts will be workin towards a 2 EPs that I came up with. I'm hoping that if they're good enough, I could possibly get signed. This is gonna take a lot of time, and I can only imagine how far my production quality will come in the next several years. I know now that I've got a decent sound, but I have a lot more to learn yet, for sure...I am, after all, merely an amateur producer. ;)
The project for NG that I'm extremely excited about is my metalstep tune. I've already got some ideas, and I've been listening in the most obscure corners of dubstep (as well as the most at-front) for inspiration...not to mention the most obscure corners of metal. Here's a few people that I'm already taking metalstep inspiration from: Graham Acidic, The Ghost Inside, Borgore, Substep, Trillbass, Flux Pavilion, Trolley Snatcha, Attack! Attack!, Karnivool, Dance Gavin Dance, Between the Buried and Me, August Burns Red, Bar9...there's a few others too, but I don't feel the need to mention them here...It does feel pretty weird mentioning metal bands next to dubstep groups too, btw. =P
So anyways, with that said, fasten your seatbelts, because even though I'm gonna be quite busy coming soon, I can only hope that I'll find time for my music to produce some excellent tunes! =)
Your friendly neighborhood >every genre that is awesome< producer,

This is a typical string of beads from a Saxon woman's grave. Although they are usually described as necklaces, the beads were normally worn hung between two brooches that the women wore pinned at the shoulders.Some women wore lots and lots of beads. It isn't unusual to find more than a hundred beads in a grave. Most are glass beads like these, but amber beads are also common. More unusual beads were made from metal, shells or even fossils.

cause and effect
In my fifth year of legal practice, I noticed somehow everything I encounter is translated to Legal semantics, cause and effect, almost mathematically, always automatically.
Like when I'm reminded to recent personal event, I would start listing all the Latin maxims:
Persona non grata. Damnatio memoriae .Ex turpi causa non oritur actio which I loosely translate it as niat tidak menghalalkan cara.
Like how I see the recent London riots had nothing to do with the effectual incident (as you might already see, pro BN fanbois are suddenly posting youtubes on the aftermath of the riot, and heh aren't they all quite happy to see the bashing of our student?), but rather I see it as a working class uprising.
Stop- before any of you fanbois say 'that's why we need to curb these demonstrations, its not safe etc etc'.
What you don't see is, the cause of the riot.
For a nation that respects the rule of law, it still has a wide disparity of social classes, and this alone can never guarantee permanent peace. It's an ongoing process which needs to be checked and re-checked. Always. But not in Malaysia, IMHO rule of law only exist in the scribbles of my legal notes while I was studying Constitution.And think these people would rather wait until the gap between the rich and the poor becomes as wide as heaven, than to correct it.
Anyway I wish I can be objective in (subconsciously) automated legal thinking while working too. Or when I really need to.
Now my brain plays dead on me while I frantically searching for cases to be referred for next Monday's submission. Even with Lexis, everything seems to be AWOL.
Cause: rollercoaster emotions, and a huge wave of love for my men~ Khalis n Hanz.
Effect: neverending daydreaming. Haiyohhhh I need to get back to my subs la wey!
Alhamdulillah ya Allah for my family.

Day3 - your idea of the perfect first date
I think a casual picnic dinner at the beach on a warm night... watching the sun go down. I like this idea because you can actually "talk" .... whilst watching the waves... the goings on on the beach.
If you go the movies on a first date... (and this so happened to me when I was set up on a date by a friend)... he picks you up... *awkward stifled conversation driving to the picture theatre*, then you get there, and watch the movie.... I know I tried hard to make sure my arm wasn't touching his, or my leg when I got too relaxed... or even worse that our hands didn't touch while reaching for the shared popcorn.... ahahah.. so no talking, and then a little bit of talking over coffee.. anyway it was weird, and I wouldn't want to go on a movie first date again!You learn hardly anything about the other person when you do a first date at the movies.... I didn't really know if I wanted to go out with him again or not...as I was still in the same boat as I was when we had the first date. I didn't find out anything more about him... so when he rang and asked me to the movies again (yeah, unimaginative 1st and second dates)... I said I was busy... hehe.
Anyway back to the "ideal" first date.
I think if you're at the beach, you've got nothing to hide behind...hehe.(like loud music at a nightclub... or a movie playing etc) . you Have to talk to each other otherwise it will be obvious. You are in a relaxed environment, and you can work out whether or not you would actually like to spend another date finding out about this person or not.
Oh and extra spesh on that first date would be if they had a guitar with them and could have a jam with you... hehe.. that would be just perfect!

I've mostly been talking about IVF in my posts, because that was the first process we were going through. Now, as we anxiously wait out on this little one, we finish our adoption paperwork! Yes IVF & adoption at the same time may seem wildly absurd to most people, but when you have waited as long as we have, had as many heartaches as we have, you lay out your cards and go all in.
How did we decide adoption was for us? For me, that want has always been there since I was younger. It was never a question of if I would adopt or not, it was more a when will I adopt. I'm not sure how it actually got started for me, but I'll attribute it back to around highschool. I knew a handful of foster children and I saw how much they yearned for a family and I knew I needed to adopt those children yearning (obviously not something you can do as a high schooler). But I knew I had a heart to give love. Adoption was something God wanted me to do, so basically since highschool, it has been on my heart. When I met Jason 8+ years ago, two of my early questions to him was…"Do you want to have children and how do you feel about adoption?" Luckily, this sweet man said absolutely to children and although he hadn't thought of adoption as much as I have, he was in. I have watched that "I am in" change to a yearn in his heart over the years! It overwhelms me to see this too, knowing it is truly one of my purposes on this Earth. God sure knows how to put the right people in our lives!
Back to adoption process, the last piece of paperwork we finished yesterday (yay!). We paid for our home study in December but haven't had it done yet due to IVF and traveling in general, but it is on now! I am so excited for this process and I know how slow and torturous the wait can be, but I can't imagine a better time.
Our cards are layed on the table, and we will hopefully get through the home study, and we wait and pray a young mom/dad picks us. A young mom/dad will needs us, and allows us to love their child(ren) forever.

Looking back on New Windsor
It's been four weeks since I left my BVS Unit #270 friends in New Windsor, MD and completed my 20 days of Orientation. On a beautiful Friday morning, after breakfast, we all gathered on the "great lawn" in front of the "big white," Civil War era, brick building for the closing ceremonies.
In traditional BVS fashion we said goodbye to each other exactly 21 times in a curious, circular choreography that took almost a half hour. Now I can look back on Unit #270 with humor and affection thanks to the many photos taken by our Unit's staff, Genelle (back row, far right) and Becky (2nd row, far right) and several BVSers.
Our Orientation was a very well planned and directed three weeks of education, field trips, games, and a great deal of "just having fun." I've seldom seen such a health melding of so many diverse personalities, and mine being as diverse as they come. Joe (left photo), a Mid-Westerner who I admired for his stand on issues, once told me that I was "the coolest older person he had ever met." I'm still rather proud of that dubious compliment, ha!
My BVS roommate Nathan and I on our way to one of the many Unit #270 field trips, shopping opportunities and community work days. All 21 of us traveled everywhere for 20 days on two mini-buses driven by our two leaders Genelle and Becky without incident. My other roommate, Tim, is pictured in the group photo above, just over my right shoulder. I enjoyed both Tim and Nathan and it couldn't have been any better.
My cooking "food group," Rieke (left), Meredith and me, on shopping day at Baugher's Fruit Market. After grabbing the fresh stuff here, we would walk up the hill one block to the Safeway store for the rest. Meredith and I had many happy conversations other than about food.
BVS Unit #270 having fun on Recreation Day towards the end of our 20 day training, called "Orientation," at Patapsco Valley State Parkjust outside of Baltimore, Maryland. We hiked up to a waterfall along a winding trail through the deep, lush woods of this beautiful park just outside Baltimore.
These shots were taken by staff and fellow BVS volunteers, compiled into a CD and sent to all of us by our faithful leaders Genelle Wine and Becky Snavely. Also in New Windsor for ten days was Dan McFadden and Emily Wampler, doing support from headquarters in Elgin, Illinois were Samuel Bowman, Kim Bickler and Carolyn Gong.
We had several "Community Work Days" where we went out into surrounding towns and suburbs to performed volunteer service.
Serving at one of the several Brethren Service Center "international assistance organizations" for one of our training days was very inspiring.
Genelle (pictured here) our Orientation coordinator and Becky, her assistant, drove us everywhere in two mini-buses. Many good times on those buses.
I'm sampling one of Grace Lafever's yard weeds, we all nibbled weeds for over two hours during the tour.
Grace Lafever is a one of a kind, delightful and entertaining naturalist who spent the day educating us in eating wild foods and then fed us a wonderful lunch at her ranch.
After meeting I Can, Inc. staff (nice people) we were shown the auditorium that would be our living quarters for the next four days.
We arrive at I Can, Inc., a homeless men's shelter in Baltimore, Maryland where we slept and ate after doing work projects in the metropolitan area.
Amy, Lawreen and Hanae (who was from Germany) waiting on the steps at I Can, Inc. Amy was one of my favorite fun people to hangout with just about anytime.
Phil, Anand (also from Germany) and Hanae playing at the waterfall in Patapsco Valley State Park.
Britta and me at Jonah House wrestling the runaway goat that I had caught, after it jumped the fence.
Dominican Sisters Ardeth Platte and Carol Gilbert tell us the story of Jonah house and about their prison sentences for participating in a peace demonstration.
Much thanks to our Director Dan McFadden, his assistant Emily, Unit Coordinator Genelle and her assistant Becky for making us all feel comfortable, welcome and giving us a wonderful opportunity we may not find again.

Maintain Your Vessel's Performance By Keeping The Hull Clean
Posted on: 16 November 2015
Hull cleaning is an integral part of ensuring your vessel performs at a high-level of performance. By keeping the underside of the boat free and clear of bio-fouling, marine life buildup and other debris, this extends the life of the anti-corrosive and anti-foulant coating on the underside of the boat and helps prevent a calcereous growth from forming, both of which can keep the boat operating better.
Signs Of A Dirty Hull
There are several indicators that could signal that the hull on your vessel needs to be cleaned; here are a few of them.
Dragging. A boat that doesn't seem to have as much power as it used to might not be a problem that you can attribute to the engine. This is especially the case if an excessive amount of debris has lodged itself around the propulsion system of the hull. Debris reduce the rate at which the blades can rotate, which in turn reduces its power.
Corrosion. If you notice corrosion spreading along the underside of the boat, a dirty hull could be to blame. Bio-fouling, from algae and barnacles, as well as other marine life can actually damage the anti-corrosive layer on the hull. Once this happens, it is fairly easy for corrosion to form and eventually spread across the boat, causing extensive damage.
Smell. If you've been noticing a very strong odor around the exterior of your vessel, particularly when you are near the lower decks, this smell isn't just in your head. A hull that is in need of a cleaning can also produce a foul smell. Since the water can sometimes smell as well, make it a point to smell the boat in different areas where you dock. If the smell travels, it's likely the hull.
Diving Contractors
A diving contractor can perform the task of hull cleaning for you without the tedious task of removing the boat from the water. Before cleaning, a diver will first inspect your boat's hull and propulsion system to first assess what type of debris you need to have removed and to see what level of cleaning is necessary. Diving contractors use specialized tools that are abrasive enough to remove any buildup without causing damage to the hull's surface, giving you the confidence that your boat is protected.
Make sure you are allowing a diving contractor to protect your boat by keeping your hull clean. This won't just keep your boat looking better, but more importantly, keep it performing better.Share

It used to be that having a job was a ticket out of poverty. But with the increase in the population of America's 'working poor,' this statement seems to have lost its relevance. A look at the average American's finances tells of a constant struggle just to make ends meet.
Still the situation is not all bad. There are various options to augment one's financial situation, with companies like Utah Money Center offering signature loan options for quick cash with little fuss. Wages are also rising after a long period of stagnation, and 2016's job security rates are better than they were before. But it doesn't disprove the fact that millions in America are a paycheck away from living on the streets.
How Things Are Going
According to the Federal Reserve Bank's report released in 2016, an economic survey done in 2015 shows that 31% of American adults (76 million individuals) are either struggling to get by or are barely able to do so. This number, while smaller from the 38% recorded in the previous year (2014), is proof that the seven-year recession still has people reeling financially. What's worth noting is that 46% of these adults say that they do not even have the savings to cover a sudden $400 expense if it pops up.
Online personal finance watchdog Bankrate.com reveals largely the same results in their own survey. About 63% of 1,000 individuals they asked don't have emergency savings to cover unexpected expenses. When asked how they will raise money for said instances, 23% said they'll cut back on spending elsewhere, 15% said they'll borrow from loved ones, and another 15% said they'll use credit cards.
Why Is This Happening?
Wage stagnation might not be a problem now (relative to the past), but it's been a problem for so long that recovery will take a long time. Hourly wages have largely fallen behind economic productivity in the last 35 years.
According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), dismal wage growth is due to intentional policy decisions – and not a result of economic forces – made in favor of the ruling class, or those who have the most wealth and political power. The EPI further states that these policy decisions are classified into areas such as the abandonment of full employment as an economic policy-making objective, the diminished strength of union solidarity, and globalization policies. But until the new administration focuses on changing this, there is little chance of substantial growth occurring in the next few years.

A true reflection of us,
A mute play of our existence
They are what we are,
there lies no pretense
A dynamic painting,
An abstract
entailing shape
and hiding detail
We create boundaries
and get bound by them
They break our boundaries
and fall beyond them
They stalk us
when there is light
and play hide and seek
when it gets dark
To an eyes of a child
They are humor and surprise
To an eyes of a wise man
They are an indicator of time
We can touch them
but, we can't feel them
We can touch them
but, we can't confine them
yet unknown friend
who stands by us
Shadows - I find their existence mysterious. I feel they have life, I feel they don't have life. Actually, I feel they have partial life which is dependent on our existence.They are separated yet an integrated part of us.

Given all the amazing cosmetics that are hitting shelves now, even the most clued-in woman can have a hard time deciding which new fragrance she has to have and which lip gloss is not worth the wait in Sephora. But there are a few that stand out no matter how thick the crowd gets, and those are the best sellers beauty addicts are fighting for on eBay and in stores all season long. So which one do you have to have for someone on your gift list (or yourself, for that matter): Lancome's PS Kiss lipstick , Estee Lauder's Swarovski Fashion Rocks compact, Marc Jacob's Limited Edition Modern Gardenia perfume, or the super sexy Agent Provocateur Maitresse Gold Edition?
Be sure to take a look at which gadgets, handbags, and apparel and accessories people are snapping up to and cast your vote for your seasonal must-haves.

Former Magoffin Co. resident wins big at the first-ever Kentucky Steel Challenge State Championship
"Steel Challenge" is a sport which lives up to its name – its considered one of the most challenging among the various shooting sport disciplines.
There are eight stages, with each stage having 5 steel targets placed at varying distances and configurations. On the "beep" of the timer, competitors must draw their weapon of choice, and shoot the five steel plate targets as quickly as they possibly can. The sport has been likened to "drag racing with guns" – the ultimate test of marksmanship and speed.
For the first time in Steel Challenge history, a State Championship Steel Challenge match was held in Kentucky on November 10th, 2017 at the Blue Grass Sportsmen's League range in Wilmore which is a world-famous gun range just outside of Lexington. When former Magoffin County resident John B. Holbrook, II learned of the historic first-time match, he immediately knew that he would not only compete in the prestigious event, he would be among the winners. "As many Magoffin County residents may know, I lost my father (John B. Holbrook) earlier this year. When I heard about the match, I just knew I had to compete and win for my Dad. It would have made both of my parents (his mother, Betty Sue Holbrook is also a former resident of Magoffin County) very proud." The only problem? John had never shot Steel Challenge prior to 2017. "I actually just started shooting unsanctioned local Steel Challenge matches this year where I live in the Dayton, Ohio area." "I did pretty well in local competition, and usually finished in both 1st and 2nd place because I compete in two different divisions. But I anticipated that the Kentucky State Championship match would certainly be a much higher caliber of competition, and given that this was a historic first-time event, I expected it would draw some of the top competitors in the US."
Holbrook, an NRA Certified Instructor, is no stranger to competitive shooting. In 2016, he was ranked #16 in the US in the United Practical Shooting Association's (USPSA) Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) division. In 2017, Holbrook competed in the world's largest 3-Gun competition, the Rockcastle Pro/Am 3-Gun Championship, finishing 12th out of 33 in his division, and a respectable 74th out of 230 overall competitors in amateur competition. Holbrook also finished 35th in the US in the 3-GUN NATION Unlimited Division and earned an invitation compete in the 3-GUN NATION Nationals – an invitation he declined in order to compete in the Kentucky Steel Challenge State Championship. "I decided it was more important to me to shoot the State match, but I had to get classified in Steel Challenge in order to compete in the Kentucky State Championship. Fortunately Blue Grass Sportsman's League held a couple of classifier matches leading up to the State match. I got classified my first time out in both of the divisions in which I compete – Carry Optics (a pistol division) and Pistol Caliber Carbine (a rifle division)."
The 2017 Kentucky Steel Challenge State Championship drew over 150 competitors, several of whom had competed earlier in the year at the 2017 US Steel Nationals. Holbrook ended winning 1st place gold medals in both the "C" Class Carry Optics Division, and the "B" Class Pistol Caliber Carbine Division. He also won a 2nd place silver medal in the overall Carry Optics division, and 14th out of all 45 pistol competitors in the Main Match. "Mom and Dad would have been really proud – my 2nd place finish in the Carry Optics Division would have put me in 3rd place at this year's US Steel Nationals in my division." Holbrook plans on shooting at the 2018 US Steel Nationals in March, and may try to make the US Team which will shoot in the 2018 IPSC Shotgun World Shoot at the National Shooting Center in Châteauroux, France.

Soup is one of my favorite meals to make, especially during the fall and winter months. I love living in Chicago, but I do not like cold weather, which is why I make soup!
Soup makes everything better. I typically like to keep my soup recipes simple and light yet flavorful. To accomplish this, I love using chicken or vegetable broth as the base. This Kale, Bean Pea, and Ham Soup may be a mouthful to say out loud but is a delicious mouthful to taste. It's a twist on traditional Tuscan bean soup and ham and pea soup. Combining the two makes this soup extra hearty and flavorful!
Here is the lineup of ingredients: onion, garlic, cannellini beans, kale, frozen peas, diced ham, Swanson® Chicken Broth, black pepper, and parmesan cheese. Not too difficult, right?
Start the soup by drizzling a few tablespoons of olive in a large pot.
Add the diced onion and sauté until soft. Add the garlic and sauté an additional 2 minutes or so. Pour in the chicken broth.
Then add the kale. I bought a bag of already trimmed kale, which makes things really easy. If you by the fresh stuff, just cut off the leaves and chop of the leaves. Simmer the kale for about 7 or 8 minutes.
While the kale is simmering, drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
Take half the beans and mash them with a fork. This will help thicken the soup up just a bit.
Now the rest is super simple. Add the rest of the ingredients; the beans, frozen peas (they don't need to be thawed), diced ham, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 14 ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups kale, stems removed and chopped (you can add more if you like)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 32-ounce (4 cups) container Swanson® Chicken Broth
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Add olive oil to large pot and place over medium heat.
- Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes (if you had garlic too soon, it could burn).
- Next add chicken broth and kale and simmer for 7 minutes.
- While the kale is simmers, drain and rinse the beans, take half of the beans and mash them with a fork.
- After the kale has simmered, add the rest of the ingredients, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Former all-American defender Mark Wagenaar will help London City in its Open Canada Cup drive before he heads off to study statecraft at Seton Hall.
RYAN PYETTE, Free Press Sports Reporter
2004-09-03 04:07:43
Mark Wagenaar is here for a good time, not a long time. The 24-year-old former all-American soccer player will follow in the cleat marks of his younger goalkeeping brother, Josh, and suit up for London City after earning a transfer from the Canadian Professional Soccer League's doormat Durham Storm earlier this week.
Wagenaar, a talented defender who starred at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, will play for City in tonight's Open Canada Cup wild-card game with the Metro Lions, but he won't be around for the end of the CPSL season.
"I've been accepted to the John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy (at Seton Hall University) and I'm starting in two weeks," Wagenaar said. "I love travelling around the world and I'd love to get paid for it. The long-term goal is to become an ambassador. But right now, I just want to help London win the Cup."
Josh Wagenaar played in net for London in 2002 before accepting a scholarship to Hartwick College (along with teammate Tyler Hemming) in New York. City general manager Harry Gauss picked up Mark Wagenaar on loan until the end of the season.
"He fills an immediate need for us," Gauss said. "We have Marco Peeters out (recovering from a broken jaw) and that has really hurt us. We needed a player like Mark on the defensive side of the ball."
Wagenaar played for City rival Hamilton Thunder two years ago, but sat out last season in a dispute with management and eventually became a free agent.
"I went to California and joined the surf scene. I just became a beach bum for a while," he said. "But I missed playing. It was great to get back into it with Durham this year, but we haven't won so now it's nice to come to London with a shot at winning the Cup."
London, the defending Cup champion, beat the Scarborough-based Metro Lions on penalty kicks in a dramatic final at the Cove last Labour Day. Like last year, City was knocked out of the tournament early, but got back in as the wild-card host team for the final weekend. They're looking for the same kind of performance this weekend.
Besides Wagenaar, City also picked up defender Moscine Talouati from Sarnia Bluewater. The team also returns midfield magician Gentian Dervishi.
Tonight: Wild-card game, London City vs. Metro Lions, 8:38 p.m.
Sunday: Semifinals, Windsor Border Stars vs. Ottawa Capital City, 5:18 p.m; Ottawa St. Anthony Italia vs. London/Metro winner, 8:38 p.m.
Monday: Final, 3:08 p.m.

Research examines both the fundamental physics and applied fluid mechanics of nonreacting and reacting free shear flows. Studies include transitional and turbulent free shear flows experiencing density variation, curvature, compressibility, and heat release. Particular attention is paid to the underlying local and global stability characteristics of the shear flow and the extent to which these features impact flow control. Spatio-temporal stability theory is used to understand flow receptivity, most notably in scenarios where absolute and convective instability dictate flow dynamics. Flow conditions range from low-speed liquid flows to high-speed compressible gas flows.

I took part in one of the Loft Literary Center's workshops a few weeks ago during which I heard a bit of advice that works for me more than any writer's blocks prompts ever could: Think of your daily writing in the same way a musician or a sports pro thinks of daily music or batting practice.
Put in that vein, I found that I no longer felt that every sentence had to be potential Pulitzer Prize material. And surprise surprise…through daily writing I'm starting to see some improvement! By golly, if daily practice isn't beneath Yo-Yo Ma, who am I to sneer at its value?

This is not the official announcement I had hoped to give....
I'm not dead.
I left on my trip without saying goodbye! So sorry! The weeks leading up to our trip were INSANE! I still haven't recovered.
To sum up....
We've gone to see ALL 50 STATES!
I've been blogging about our adventure (HERE) when I've been able to find an internet connection. I have been away from email for over a week and it's driving me nuts! I can do a few things from my phone and sometimes we can get cell service. It's been super frustrating. If you've tried to reach me, please email me or call me again. I know there are emails I'm not getting and calls that aren't coming though.
We are in Alaska now, and will be in Seattle on Thursday. I'm hoping I will have internet and phone then. It's funny how disconnected I feel without this stuff.
Anyway, it's tricky to blog right now. I will spew out all the details of where I am and what the heck I'm doing when I can find a better connection.
Hopefully I haven't lost all of you. Still there? :)

Back in May when the rhododendrons were in full bloom and the sun was glorious, Helen and Paul celebrated their marriage at Hallsannery. It was the most relaxed, but beautifully thought-through and personal day – I don't think the Bride (or the Groom!) stopped smiling once!
Here's what they had to say about their day…
"THANK YOU for the perfect wedding day. The venue was stunning and the grounds looked gorgeous. With the incredible weather on the day, we were so happy that our guests could enjoy being outside in the sun. Such an amazing venue in beautiful Devon.
It was so very special for us to be able to spend our wedding day somewhere that Helen has such fond childhood memories of. The spiral staircase made for some really special moments and great photos, and the Cook's parlour made for a great space for our bar.
Special thanks to Hannah for being so accommodating to our crazy wedding ideas and for her advice and suggestions!"
Well, we didn't think their ideas were crazy but as you can see they certainly made for some stunning photos. Congratulations Helen and Paul on an amazing day.
(With thanks to the Bride and Groom and to J&A Cameras for the gorgeous photos)

Continuous reduction in solar and wind energy cost will drive the hybrid solar wind market.
Hybrid Solar Wind Market Size, Industry Analysis Report, Regional Outlook, Application Development Potential, Price Trends, Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2016 - 2024
Hybrid Solar Wind Market size is projected to expand at grow exponentially owing to increasing demand for clean fuel off grid electricity and continuous reduction in solar and wind energy cost will drive the hybrid solar wind market.
It is a small hybrid electric system combination of wind energy and solar electric (photovoltaic or PV), generating electricity on regular basis. These systems find its wide applications in rural areas, isolated location, off grid, road lighting, house lighting, landscape lighting, telecommunication system, fishing boat, yacht and other electronic monitoring systems. The system employs PV array, wind turbine, hybrid controller, battery bank, inverters, loads and other connector.

Wind and solar energy are clean fuel energy used for generation of electricity but can be restraint by fluctuation in sun rays and wind velocity. The combination of solar and wind results into stable, reliable and higher power output for residential and commercial purposes. Solar wind is combination of power inverter comprises of AC to DC transformer to provide charge to batteries through AC generators. Hybrid solar wind turbine generators make use of solar panels to collect light and convert it into energy. Power from wind turbine and solar panel is stored and filtered in battery bank to use as per required. The small wind mill combined with solar panels helps to generate electricity on both sunny and windy conditions.
In current scenario majority of energy demand is fulfilled by fossil fuels which results in high emission of pollutants whereas clean fuel renewable energy including biomass, wind, geothermal, and solar contributes very low or negligible. Majority of off grid population are depended on diesel generator for their daily demand of electricity which is costlier when compared to solar and wind. Wind and solar energy being the most mature and accepted sources have experienced significant growth in the last decade.
Request for customization of this research report @ https://www.gminsights.com/roc/694
Hybrid solar wind market system offers lowest possible cost values to maintain same intensity of deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP) in comparison with wind system and standalone solar. Favourable hybrid solar wind market price trend as compared to wind system or standalone solar PV is forecast to drive adoption in the coming years, particularly for rural electricity development.
Increasing demand for reliable and efficient clean energy electricity output, reducing price of solar and wind component, favourable government initiatives and strict policies and regulations to reduce carbon footprints are some of the drivers which will boost the demand for hybrid solar wind system during the forecast period.
While these solutions are practised for electricity production and in applications such as water heating, lack of compatibility in non windy locations may present a barrier to growth. Additionally, high installation cost may restrain revenue generation in the coming years. Key application sectors include milling and irrigation, since they benefit from widespread use of wind energy.
