A woman finds the diary she kept as a teenager, and then goes back in time to try to talk some sense into her younger self.
A collaboration with artist and friend Nina Frenkel! We joined forces to create this film, working form a script that I wrote. Nina designed the characters and world, and she created all of the artwork. I took on editing and sound design. We had other excellent collaborators as well: Travis Fowler was the lead animator. Vanessa Severo performed the narration. Margrit Eichler composed the music.
After Nina and I decided to make a film together, I came up with the idea for the story. My initial idea was about a woman in her thirties being visited by her teenage self. When I shared it with Nina, she pointed out that there was no story yet. I went back to the drawing (writing) board, and tried reversing the roles--having the woman visit her teenage self instead, and that worked a lot better. The story was also informed by my own recent discovery of my teenage diary, and feeling somewhat appalled and embarrassed by what I read. Upon time and reflection, these feelings gave way to empathy. The tone of the film comes out of this range of emotional responses.
Ann doesn't miss her ex-boyfriend, but she does miss...his mom. Ann decides to give the friendship another try.
I wanted to make a movie that was not about a romantic relationship, but rather about a relationship that is usually regarded as peripheral to the romance—the one between a woman and her boyfriend's mother. This relationship often becomes a casualty of the romantic breakup, but I wondered what would happen if the ex-girlfriend and the mom tried to keep it going. The idea for this film started out as a memoir-essay. I spent several months in 2010 writing, or rather rewriting, the same ten pages, to no avail—it seemed boring, pointless, etc. About a year and a half later, I returned to the idea, and saw a way that I could write a script based on the material by picking out the best elements of the essay attempt and combining it with a story that was totally fictional. Hooray! (A good reminder that no writing is ever wasted—some writing turns out to be practice for other writing.) A Good Match is my first film made in Kansas City, and I got to work with wonderful artists--Nancy Marcy, Liz Clark Golson, and Michael McIntire play the leads; Katy McRoberts did the art direction, and Whitney Manney designed the costumes. I imported Richie Sherman and Joe Mayo from PA to DP and record sound, respectively. See the links page for more info!
Another Dress, Another Button (2:45; 2011) Click here to watch the film.
A stop-motion animation about spare buttons and the people who save them.
My first stop-motion animation! I've had this accumulation of spare buttons for years, and I've had the vague idea of making an essay-type movie about them for years as well, but it wasn't until the summer of 2010 that I realized that stop-motion was the way to do it. I wanted to give these forever-waiting buttons, isolated in their careful little bags, some active time in the world. The audio is excerpts from interviews I did with three women about how they deal with spare buttons, both practically and emotionally. The look and approach of the film is inspired by Ron McAdow's 1974 genius stop-motion short Hank the Cave Peanut. That movie is a brilliant example of animation creating complex inner lives for faceless objects (peanuts), and it also creates appealing sets out of quotidian objects, two things I was aiming for in this film. Joe Mayo was the director of photography, and he and I co-designed the animation, but the Pong sequence was totally Joe's idea.
Maybe Pittsburgh (26:00; 2009) Click here to watch the film.
A woman tries to save her marriage with a romantic weekend trip to Pittsburgh. Reality intrudes.
This is my "longest short" to date. I wanted to try to make a film with a more sustained narrative, and more depth of character and emotion. It builds on and expands the style I used in Know What You Mean, with both real-time scenes and interior-life-of-the-character scenes. Making this film really pushed me as a writer, director, and producer. I feel I achieved a fair amount of what I had set out to do, but I also now have a nice long list of writerly, directerly, and producerly things that I want to learn how to do better. Emily Rossell and Nathan Holt play the lead roles. Richie Sherman was the director of photography. Joe Mayo created the sound design. Score by Margrit Eichler. See the links page for more about these talented artists and their top-notch work.
Fish, but No Cigar, co-directed with Tara White (4:00; 2007) Click here to watch the film.
An animated movie about a woman with bigger fish to fry. Literally.
This movie was made in collaboration with Tara White, who I met when she was a student at Penn State. Tara told me that she liked my writing, and would be interested in collaborating on a short animation. I love animation, but have no aptitude for it, so the idea of writing for an animation and helping to make it sounded great. I wrote a couple of short scripts and showed them to Tara, but she wasn't too interested--she pointed out that what I had written so far could easily be live action, and she wanted us to make something that could only be animation. Fair enough. I looked at Tara's sketchbooks to see what kinds of things she liked to draw, and I saw some nice-looking fish. So I came up with the short story about having bigger fish to fry that turned into the narration for this film. Then Tara moved in, and my house turned into a round-the-clock animation studio for a couple of months, powered by malted milk balls and salami. Another lesson in the value of teaming up with someone with a strong visual imagination. I firmly believe that 1+1 here equaled 3, or at least >2.
Mild People in Aggressive T-Shirts (3:00; 2006) Click here to watch the film.
Hostile bravado meets everyday life.
I first noticed this phenomenon while walking around Las Vegas. The mellowest-looking tourist guys wore the most confrontational T-shirts. Behavior-wise, though, they seemed perfectly willing to go along to get along. They waited patiently for walk signals, they excused themselves when they brushed past me, etc. Which made perfect sense, of course--daily life consists of many tiny but necessary social interactions, and it would get pretty tiring to always be hostile. OK, so then why the shirts? Three minutes of contemplation.
The Boy in the Air (2:00; 2005) Click here to watch the film.
An enigmatic advertisement inspires a letter. The corporation writes back.
I really did see this ad in my local paper, and I really did write to the company, and they really did write me back. The letter in the film is partially excerpted from the actual company letter, and partly fabricated by me. This movie was SIMPLE and CHEAP--I used a scanner, an audio recorder, Photoshop (to remove the name of the company; otherwise, the ad is real), and Final Cut Pro. I am a big fan of the simple and cheap approach to film production. It's very satisfying to succeed in making something good out of almost nothing.
Know What You Mean (5:30; 2005) Click here to watch the film.
A woman struggles to understand her date.
I collected mixed metaphors and malapropisms for about a year, with a vague idea of making an essay film at some point. When I sat down to write it, the movie turned into a narrative piece that combined two different approaches I had taken before, but in separate films: real-time action, and visual representations of a character's thought process. This film also marks my first collaboration with cinematographer, filmmaker, and Penn State professor Richie Sherman. Compare this film visually with Once, which I shot myself. Focus problems--gone! Lighting--much improved! Camera movement--no longer AWOL! Collaboration with Richie and other visual artist-type filmmmakers (I consider myself more writerly-type, with visual aspirations) in recent years has given my work a serious boost. Check out the Richie Sherman-related links on the Links page.
A crushed-out office worker finds solace at the lost and found.
I was interested in a character who steals things from people and turns them in to the lost and found, in order to give those people the thrill of being reunited with their stuff. Can someone whose mind works in this way find connection with the people around her? Martha Elliot and Christian Breecher star. Sarah Dunham, director of photography, brings out the surrealism of the office environs. Awesome score by Margrit Eichler. The last film I finished as a 16mm print.
A documentary about card counting, a legal method of winning at casino blackjack. The film follows a team of card counters who are trying to win $150,000 in a single weekend in Atlantic City. Members of the team demonstrate the elaborate strategy, high skill, and outrageous ruses that they use to challenge the casinos. As the story of the weekend unfolds, the film reveals the unique subculture of card counting, the people involved in it, and those who have left it behind.
This film was my University of Iowa M.F.A. thesis film. I had never made a documentary, and I wanted to give it a try while I still had the resources and support of school. There wasn't much out there about card counting at the time, and I knew some professional players, present and past, who graciously agreed to be in the movie. Making this film was a serious education in direct cinema technique and long-form editing, though I haven't done either since. Karen Rodriguez was the intrepid director of photography. There's a link to her current work with Magpie Productions on the Links page.
Once (4:00; 2000) Click here to watch the film.
A woman fantasizes about what she can get away with and still remain on the right side of social approbation. Existential slapstick.
This film began embryonic life at a Labor Day cookout in 1996 in Iowa City. I was treated rudely YET AGAIN by a particular rude person, who then nonchalantly settled down with his beer. I complained to a friend, and she advised kicking this guy over in his lawn chair. There was no way I was going to do it, but I was pretty ticked, so I thought about it for a while. Could it be possible to behave that way, avenging everyday poor behavior? Maybe just once? The style was inspired by two short films I saw a couple of years later, Jane Campion's Passionless Moments and Chel White's Dirt. My sister Martha, a deadpan slapstick genius, came out to Iowa City to star, and we ran around town all weekend, shooting with a trusty hand-cranked Bolex.
P.S.A. (:30; 2000) Click here to watch the film.
A very short video, in the form of a public service announcement, about what NOT to donate to the food bank.
I volunteered at a food bank in Iowa City for a while, and as I sorted and shelved donations each week, I noticed that there was a small but steady influx of expired food, given by I guess well-meaning people (possible reasoning: "I don't want to eat sugar packaged during the Johnson administration, but maybe a hungry person would"…??) I made a seven-minute video about a food bank volunteer who creates a Museum of Expired Food, and soon after I made a 30-second P.S.A. from the same footage. The P.S.A., this film, was much better.
Cat Fight (4:30; 1998) Click here to watch the film.
A woman accidentally pulls off the tail of her boyfriend's cat. The relationship is endangered.
My first 16mm synchronous sound film! The idea for this film came from the convergence of two things. The first was that I had access to a cat with a detached tail (long story--it involves a kitty injury, an amputation, and a taxidermist), which seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime prop opportunity. The second thing was that I was going through a phase where I was for some reason accidentally breaking a lot of my housemate's stuff. I fixed or replaced everything I broke, but still, it was getting ridiculous. The script proceeded from there.
Cars Will Make You Free (2:30; 1997) Click here to watch the film.
A documentary of sorts about car culture and its discontents.

Adroit Inventor in Strategic Electro-Optic Applications
Arabian Defence Wednesday, December 8th, 2021
With nearly four decades of expertise in the defence, space and communications markets, Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has been one of the top reliable brands globally in advanced electro-optic and microwave applications. EOS is a global market leader in remote weapons station domain. Counter UAS Systems (CUAS) and Remote and Autonomous Systems (RAS) are the two areas of significant growth in the current Defence Industry market and the current EOS product line gives the company a strong lead in these fields. In an interview with ARABIAN DEFENCE, Dr. Andreas Schwer, President EMEA & Delegate of Group CEO, EOS (Electro Optics Systems) talks about the company's latest operations.
Could you talk about the major defence products and solutions of EOS?
Electro Optic Systems (EOS), an Australian-owned technology and manufacturing company, has been operating in the defence, space and communications markets for over 37 years. EOS' products incorporate a range of technologies including advanced electro-optic and microwave applications based on core technologies in software, laser, electronics, optronics, gimbals, telescopes and beam directors, as well as precision mechanisms and high-end broadband radio transceivers and SATCOMon-the-move terminals. EOS owns all intellectual property along with complete vertical design allowing for long-term obsolescence management. Key products include next generation remote weapon stations, vehicle turrets, laser weapons (directed energy effectors), counter-UAS systems, lethality systems for remote and autonomous platforms, and battlegroup and below communications systems.
EOS has been developing remote weapon stations. Could you give details and who are major customers?
You are right, EOS has been the originator and inventor of this new class of weapon system many years ago. Since that time – and till today – EOS is a global market leader in this domain. We have an extensive list of foreign contracts with over 2000 systems in service around the world. Customers include the US Forces, Australian Defence Force, Indonesian Armed Forces, Netherlands Ministry of Defence, Republic of Korea Army, Singapore Armed Forces, Royal Thai Army, Saudi Arabian Ministry of the Interior and UAE Armed Forces.
What are the expansion plans of EOS?
There are two areas of significant growth in the current Defence Industry market. Counter UAS Systems (CUAS) and Remote and Autonomous Systems (RAS). The current EOS product line gives the company a strong lead in these fields.
Our obsession with precision and accuracy means that our systems are highly effective as CUAS effectors. The EOS Titanis CUAS system builds on our extensive CUAS R&D to provide a complete CUAS capability that is flexible and adaptable to any CUAS requirement or budget. The true flexibility of Titanis is its ability to be scaled and this is because any existing EOS weapon station can become part of an integrated and fully modular CUAS capability.
However, the backbone and highlight of our Titanis system forms the Directed Energy effector (DE), our High-Energy Laser Weapon System. EOS is quite unique in the global market with its NATO qualified DE-product, being already under serial production and ready for export. Titanis can provide full hemispherical protection to a small and highly mobile Special Forces patrol or a fixed facility covering many square kilometers. The UAS threat has caught many militaries off-guard, our Titanis system provides a fast, effective, low risk and low cost solution to this growing problem.
Two characteristics of the EOS weapon station family have made our systems particularly popular with the RAS community. They are the ability to mount highly lethal weapon systems in very lightweight packages and our simple and intuitive user interface. These two characteristics allow our systems to be easily adapted to RAS capabilities. Interfaces with communications bearers and Artificial Intelligence systems are straightforward and quickly implemented and our lightweight weapon stations allow small RAS platforms to carry very high levels of firepower. EOS has already provided lethality solutions to around a dozen different RAS platforms and the list is expanding.
The two growth areas above have also lead EOS to reach into new sectors. The backbone of the Titanis CUAS system is our own C2 application which we are hosting on our own C4I network. While we won't be presenting these products at EDEX please keep an eye out for them in future product releases.
EOS is involved in the space domain also. Could you describe the major products and applications?
EOS produces highly accurate, real-time space intelligence products for Space Domain Awareness and Space Traffic Management, including Data-as-aService, for customers on satellite capabilities, orbital characteristics and potential conjunctions. This information can be used to enable safe satellite operations and fullyinformed decision making in the space domain. EOS strives to ensure both commercial and defence customers achieve the highest probability for their mission success. EOS is also on its way to become the operator of the first mobile satellite communication network using optical ground-tospace communication, called Spacelink. This system will offer from 2024 more bandwidth for secure governmental communication than any other existing satellite system. Most recently, we have placed the contract for the construction of the first generation of satellites.
What are the major products EOS offering to Egypt and what are the technologies and products showcasing at EDEX exhibition?
The focus of our EDEX display is our R150 and R400 weapon stations. These two systems fill unique positions in the international weapon station market and offer a broad range of capabilities. The R150 is a lightweight weapon station that can mount weapons from 5.56mm through to 14.5mm. The R150 is 3 axis stabilized and is equipped with EOS's own high resolution/long range sensors and laser range finder. With a .50Cal machine gun and a full load of ammunition the whole system is under 200kg making it easily adaptable to even the lightest of platforms. The R150 maintains EOS's signature accuracy and precision allowing it to serve as an effective CUAS capability when equipped with a simple 7.62mm machine gun. The R400 is the next system up in the EOS weapon station range and provides an unprecedented level of flexibility, firepower and precision. Mounting weapons from a single 5.56mm machine gun through to a multi weapon combination of 30x113mm cannon, 7.62mm machine gun and dual missile launcher, the R400 can bring medium AFV firepower to lightweight platforms.
The dual weapon equipped system is less than 500kg and provides highly lethal 30mm firepower out to 2000m. It can be equipped with an independent radar capability, and like the R150, the R400 is a highly capable CUAS system. While our EDEX presence will center around these two systems EOS representatives will be available to discuss and provide information on our R800 and Directed Energy systems as well as all the other elements of the EOS product portfolio.

Q: chained position animations with jquery animate() i would like to have a set of 11 elements "fly" into a page - by a chained set of animations using jQuery animate().
i have the following: http://bit.ly/g90S3J
which seems to work quite well in FF3.6
but i see that in IE8 -the animations and positions are way off - with elements remaining off the stage, or flying of the stage, whereas in FF, they collect around the center, as they should.
what sometimes also seems to happen in FF, is that the final position of the elements seems to change on a sporadic basis once in a while. weird!!
can someone give me a hand here?
Many Thanks!

A: You have this:
.flyItem {
    display: inline;
    overflow: visible;
    position: absolute;
}

When I mean to set an initial position just add:
  top:0;
   left:0;

To the properties and since you have:
$(function(){
       $("#item1").animate({'top': '+=1200px'},2000, 'swing', function(){
      $("#item2").animate({'right': '-=2630px'},3000, 'swing', function(){
        $("#item3").animate({'top': '-=2700px'},3000, 'swing');
                                                                                });
                                                                        });

       $("#item6").animate({'right': '+=1860px'},2000, 'swing', function(){
       $("#item5").animate({'top': '+=1000px'},3000, 'swing', function(){
        $("#item4").animate({'right': '+=1000px'},3000, 'swing');
                                                                                });
                                                                        });

});

the 'flyItem'  elements must all  be inside a relatively positioned div.

The funny woman doesn't want another generation of LGBTIQA+ youths exposed to the same "horrific bile" that she was when Tasmania became the last Australian state to legalise homosexuality in 1997.
Bianca Soldani
25 Aug 2016 - 10:03 AM UPDATED 25 Aug 2016 - 10:03 AM
Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby is making a case against the marriage equality plebiscite by sharing her own harrowing experience with anti-gay hate speech.
In an heartfelt Facebook post shared on Thursday, the 38-year-old shares how the debate over whether to decriminalise homosexuality in Tasmania in the mid-90s affected her upbringing and perception of self-worth.
In her late-teens at the time, Gadsby says the debate taught her "how to close [herself] off and rot quietly in self-hatred".
This tweet perfectly sums up the problem with a plebiscite
*Drops Mic*
"I learnt this because I learnt that I was subhuman during a debate where only the most horrible voices and ideas were amplified by the media," she writes. "These voices also gave permission for others to tell me that I was less than them, with looks, words and on one occasion, violence".
"For many, the debate was theatre. For me, it made me hate myself so deeply I have never been able to develop an aptitude for relationships."
Post by Hannah Gadsby.
The comedian goes on to explain how she now lives with the daily effects of anxiety and low self-esteem bred during that period, and is concerned about how any present debate attached to a plebiscite will affect the current generation of young and vulnerable LGBTQIA+ people – particularly those in regional communities "who are isolated from positive voices".

'Not one straight politician knows what it's like': Wong's impassioned plea to dump marriage equality plebiscite
Labor frontbencher Penny Wong has made an impassioned plea for the marriage equality plebiscite to be dumped to protect same-sex people from abuse.
While she realises that the percentage of people opposed to same-sex marriage is relatively small, Gadsby says they "will no doubt be handed a megaphone in the name of entertainment.
"But this kind of entertainment will not only ruin young lives…it will end some of them. Speech is not free when it comes at such a cost," she writes.

Cleaning solutions key to enhancing solar panel efficiency
Renewable energy has become a major aspect of development agendas of countries around the world. As per the International Energy Agency, the use of renewable energy increased by 3 per cent in 2020, corresponding with a decline in demand for all other fuels. In 2021, renewable power generation is expected to experience the fastest year-on-year growth since the 1970s, with over two-thirds of the contribution coming from wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) alone. Solar PV has emerged as one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in recent times. National targets, supplemented by the onset of international collaborations such as the International Solar Alliance, have fostered the growth of solar power. In India, for instance, a major push to renewable power has come from solar energy, given the country's target of installing roughly 300 GW of solar power by 2030.
Operation and maintenance (O&M) activities are integral to the long-term sustainability and efficiency of solar plants. External influencers such as dust, dirt, pollen, high temperatures, shadows and bird droppings often hamper the generation of power via solar PV panels. For solar power to be effectively utilised, these environmental factors must be kept in check. As dust can interfere with the level of sunlight absorbed by a solar panel, accumulation of dust is one of the biggest threats to effective power generation from PV panels. A 2013 paper by Travis Sarver, Ali Al-Qaraghuli and Lawrence L. Kazmerski highlighted how poor air quality can significantly deteriorate the energy yield of PV panels. In the absence of cleaning, dust and pollution can cause a decrement of up to 6.5 per cent in energy production by the panel. A 2017 study by Hussain et al. states that due to greater accumulation of dust in arid regions, the reduction in solar efficiency can be approximately 40 per cent. The removal and cleaning of dust and soil from solar panels also contribute considerably to the total O&M costs associated with solar plants. Cleaning solutions, thus, becoming an essential tool to ensure efficiency in solar generation.
The water vs solar debate
While electricity generated through solar power plants is free of greenhouse gas emissions, it entails certain detrimental impacts on the environment, especially in terms of overutilisation of local water and land degradation. The use of water in the cleaning and maintenance of solar panels has raised concerns regarding the true "green" nature of solar technology.
According to a 2019 study by Bridge to India, over 56 per cent of India's solar capacity has been installed in areas that are arid and comprise several high-water-stress zones. While the amount of water needed for cleaning a solar panel is typically 3-5 litres, it increases to 7-8 litres in arid regions. The study also found that over 60 per cent of the water used in solar installations is derived from bore wells and underground sources of water. Many of the states where solar plants have been established, such as Rajasthan, Karnataka and Gujarat, already consume high amounts of water. With India on the path of rapid development and growth, the demand for water will continue to rise. Despite large sources of fresh water in the country, it continues to be water scarce. Many Indian cities are anticipated to run out of groundwater in the near future. By 2030, the demand for water in India is projected to be double the supply. The increasing demand can also be seen in the sharp rise in the price of water over the past few years. This has induced certain developers to rely on illegal means to access water, leading to exploitation.
The problem of water scarcity is expected to be exacerbated with a rise in dust storms and frequent variations in climatic conditions. Dust storms may significantly increase the need for water for solar panel cleaning, if alternative technologies are not adopted. Therefore, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has pushed states to adopt solar cleaning technologies that can enable optimal utilisation of water. In an effort to reduce overconsumption of water in the solar sector, the industry is also witnessing a shift towards robotic cleaning solutions that use minimal or no water for maintenance of solar panels. Several solar developers are now adopting robotic technology for cleaning. In April 2021, Israel-based clean solutions providers for solar systems Airtouch Solar signed an agreement to supply water-free robotic cleaning systems to be applied at three new solar PV plants of ReNew Power in Rajasthan.
All stakeholders, including the government, solar developers and operators, must push for policies and technologies that minimise the consumption of water. Eliminating over consumption of water in solar panel cleaning is necessary to ensure that the use of one green technology does not negate the conservation of another integral resource. Only then can solar power be truly considered as green power.
Technology overview and progress
As per the Global Market Insights Report 2020, the solar panel cleaning market is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of over 11 per cent through 2026.
The process of cleaning ensures that the power conversion capability of solar PV is not hampered due to accumulated dust or other environmental obstructions. This, in turn, enhances and maintains productivity and efficiency in output. Cleaning technologies can be broadly classified in terms of operation as manual and automatic. In terms of process, they can be primarily categorised as water based, electrostatic and robotic. The traditional water-based cleaning solutions entail manual input and heavy usage of water, often leading to inefficiencies in the utilisation of water resources and higher O&M costs. Electrostatic solutions use electrostatic charge material over the solar panels, along with sensors that monitor the level of dust. More recently, robotic cleaning and anti-soiling coating have been developed and adopted rapidly to maximise energy output and reduce the dependence on water and labour. These technologies are now technically and commercially proven.
As per a 2020 paper by Kazem et al. to ensure the economic and technical feasibility of solar projects, it is crucial to make the choice of cleaning solutions based on plant size, location, environmental and seasonal factors as well as the dust density in the region. Traditional cleaning, for instance, has been found to be feasible in small-scale plants, but is otherwise costly and inefficient. The climate of a region also determines the type of dust accumulated on solar panels and its impact on generation. In tropical regions, dust particles may transform into dew in the morning due to greater moisture in the atmosphere, and naturally clean the panels. However, in certain regions, dust particles may be sticky and difficult to remove. In the former case, waterless methods can be used, while in the latter, water-based methods may be more effective.
While the traditional segment of solar panel cleaning is expected to grow due to its feasibility and wide applicability across different conditions, the industry is witnessing a shift towards automated and waterless cleaning solutions. Stringent government regulations are being put in place to prevent precious water resources from being depleted. Greater environmental consciousness among consumers and producers is also paving the way for faster adoption of waterless and green cleaning technologies to remove dust and dirt from solar panels. Waterless and robotic methods include mechanical brushes, standing wave electric curtain systems, heliotex technology, nano-film, cloud computing and internet of things. These solutions are capable of reducing water consumption substantially, contingent on the type of method adopted. Consequently, the industrial landscape is swiftly transitioning towards advancements in waterless cleaning solutions.
Lessons from Covid-19
Despite the continuous growth witnessed in the sector, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has posed several new challenges for the renewable industry. These include lack of mobility and communication, barriers in production lines and limited supply of manned labour. Restrictions due to lockdowns and government regulations have highlighted the need to shift to automation. As per the estimates of the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, solar plants in India need to be cleaned at least once a week, especially in dry and arid regions. Dependency on human labour in such cases may lead to inefficiencies in solar power output if panels are not cleaned in a timely and effective manner due to restrictions on labour supply.
The pandemic has opened up new avenues for robotic technologies and artificial intelligence to be adopted in various sectors, including the solar industry. There is now a rising demand for quick and effective cleaning technologies that require minimal supervision and no manual input. Automated and unmanned cleaning machines are also expected to minimise human errors in solar power O&M. These automated technologies may provide high performance outcomes and greater reliability under extreme weather conditions, along with faster cleaning and lower operational costs. Therefore, in the coming years, the solar industry can expect an increase in demand for robotic cleaning solutions.
The rapid adoption of solar energy along with the rising demand for advanced solar technologies will pave the way for greater investment in the solar sector in the near future. Solar energy can play a pivotal role in India's renewable transition, given reforms and regulations that ensure optimal utilisation of resources, keeping the "green" characteristic of solar energy intact. The government can play a significant role in encouraging the adoption of efficient cleaning technologies and promote R&D in the local production of robotic and automated solutions. Fiscal benefits may also be offered to supplement positive consumer demand. As greater emphasis on the reduction of carbon emissions could translate into the deployment of large-scale solar projects, a focus on cost minimising technologies and cleaning solutions is essential. Ultimately, efforts must not only be oriented towards installation but also towards various segments of O&M to maximise output in the overall solar segment.

Well, not exactly translating it myself - but building in the ability for translation to be possible.
It involved going through close to 1 million Lines of code and finding each hard coded message. Passing that to a little function that tries to find a translation for the Current user´s language preference and show that. If it can´t find the translation it just returns the default English - but makes a note of the request and reports it Back to my master Language Server for translation.
Still, it´s a HUGE undertaking - so it should be on-going for some time. I just tried adding the translation code to a single module (I have 35) and this was a small one - it took About 2 hours. I estimate I´m looking at around 250 hours to add the code and then About double for a translator to translate it for each language.
What can you expect - well fairly soon you´ll see a "Select Language" box here on the ´mate but the translations are going to be very limited for a while.


Nearly two dozen environmental groups on Wednesday urged senators not to work with the House on an energy policy reform bill this session.
In a letter to senators, 23 groups said the House-passed bill "undermines the progress our nation needs" on energy policy. They said the Senate should not vote to go to conference with the House so long as policies they oppose are included in the bill.
"The House-passed amendment would undoubtedly take our country down the wrong track and contains so many controversial and problematic provisions it is impossible to see how agreement could be found," wrote the groups, a collection that includes the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, the League of Conservation Voters and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
After the Senate passed its bipartisan energy bill in April, the House considered it and attached a new handful of conservative policies. Members passed the bill and voted to go to a conference committee with the Senate to hammer out the differences between them.
The Senate has yet to take the same step, though, with Democrats citing the conservative provisions in the bill.
Business and energy groups want the Senate to take that step, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce writing a letter to members last week encouraging them to go to a conference committee. Lawmakers are working on a constricted legislative calendar, meaning they are running out of time to get to find a compromise energy package this year.
The green groups objected to environmental provisions, energy efficiency measures and renewable power research chapters in the House-passed bill.

XLIII Ratings Were Extra Super
By ANDREW GREINER	• Published February 4, 2009 • Updated on February 4, 2009 at 11:15 am
It turns out that Super Bowl XLIII was the highest-rated title game ever.
Early reports had placed the ratings for match up between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers at 97 million viewers, just behind the 97.45 million viewers who watched the 2008 edition, when New York beat New England. But new data from Nielsen Media Research, released Tuesday, tells a different story.
The final estimate of 98.73 million in-home viewers actually makes the 2009 Super Bowl the second most watched television event in history. The audience was even better for the game's exciting fourth quarter: 106 million people watched what is arguably the most exciting quarter in Super Bowl history.
Only the final episode of "M.A.S.H.", with its 106 million viewers drew a larger audience than Super Bowl XLIII.

It's unclear why there was such a discrepancy between early estimates and final tallies. The 3 percent change is unusual because estimated viewership is often accurate to within 1 percent.
"As is standard procedure, [Monday's] early 'fast national number' was based on anticipated station coverage," Nielsen said in a statement Tuesday. "The national overnight data released this [Tuesday] was generated after we verified the stations carrying the game and are a more accurate reflection of the viewers.
"We are looking to see if there are any additional factors that had an impact on the difference between the early fast national ratings and national production ratings."
NBC executives did not argue over the final numbers.

Compared to the crisis of 2008-2009, the figures for GDP and various industries in Russia at year-end 2015 did not show a catastrophic decline.
Debate about the need for structural reforms has intensified in Russia. But what should they be directed at? At the Foreigners Life conference in Moscow from Feb. 5-7, leading Russian economists identified four main problems with the Russian economy.
Compared to the recent crises in the Russian economy, the population is getting poorer much faster this time. By year-end 2015, the amount of goods purchased by Russians had decreased by 10 percent.
Even during the most serious crisis in modern history of the country – in 1998 – this figure (final consumption of households) fell by only 5 percent, and by 4 percent after the global financial crisis in 2009.
There is also another reason why the population is running out of money. Businesses are deliberately reducing wages in order to increase their own profits. In 2015, nominal wages grew by 4.6 percent, while company profits increased by an average of 49 percent. One of the reasons for this is the lack of effective trade unions to defend the rights of workers in Russia.
In 2014, Russia moved to a free-floating exchange rate, making the Russian currency value market-determined.
During this time, the ruble has fallen against the U.S. dollar and the euro by 60 percent; in addition, the value of the ruble is affected by fluctuations in oil prices. As a result, the ruble may fall or grow by 20 percent in one month. Possible rate shifts are included in the price of all contracts in the country.
Economists estimate that the instability of the currency provides an annual inflation of 7 percent. For comparison, at the end of 2015, inflation in Russia amounted to 15.5 percent.
In this situation, interest rates on bank loans, including those for the purchase of equipment, cannot be lower than 15-20 percent. It turns out that businesses just cannot afford to buy new equipment and expand production – and this is another big issue.
For example, GDP declined by 3.7 percent compared to 7.9, the volume of construction fell by 7 percent compared to 16 percent, while the figures for railway freight have not changed at all.
According to economists, the bad news is that indicators that determine future economic growth – primarily investments – fell much more. Investment in fixed assets fell by 8 percent, while the import of equipment from abroad has decreased by as much as 38 percent.
As a result, equipment on average sees use of 14 years in Russia compared to seven years in the West, and about 20 percent of machines are way beyond their expected lifetime and may be discarded at any moment.
Even the country's wealthiest customers – oil and gas companies – are reducing their investment programs.
According to estimates by researcher Abel Aganbegyan, at a price of $35 per barrel, oil companies' investments will decrease by 20 percent, while the Gazprom gas monopoly may postpone investments in the Power of Siberia pipeline, designed to carry gas from Russia to China.
Yes, in spite of all the bold political proclamations, Chinese investments have yet to arrive on the Russian market.
In fact, some investors from China have even begun to withdraw funds from Russia. On Feb. 4, China's Chengdong Investment Corp. decided to sell its stake in the Moscow stock exchange.
The Chinese may be replaced by investors from India; in its time, the USSR implemented a number of investment projects with India.
Which companies are leaving Russia?
But what is most likely is an inflow of funds from Western capital markets. Many European countries have negative interest rates, meaning that money is almost worthless within the country, and investors are being forced to seek projects abroad.
Russian borrowers, including the government, have always been disciplined and have typically paid their debts on time.
It is no coincidence that, on Feb. 7, the Russian Finance Ministry sent proposals for the possible issuance of Eurobonds in 2016 to 25 foreign banks. The last time that Russia borrowed from the international markets was in Sept. 2013, when it sold $6 billion worth of bonds.
This article is based on material prepared by participants of the Foreigner's Life forum: reports by researcher Abel Aganbegyan, Konstantin Korishchenko, the Central Bank's former deputy chairman, and Oleg Zasov, director of the Department of Macroeconomic Forecasting at Vnesheconombank – the country's key development institution.

The Necklace That Gives Back
I've designed a very special necklace this month to coincide with National Glaucoma Awareness month.
My Evil Eye Necklace features a tiny round charm with an evil eye design stamped into the metal. The charm glides along a delicate satellite chain and hangs beautifully when worn. The evil eye symbol is said to represent divine protection, freedom and peaceful co-existence with others. A beautiful message that makes this necklace a wonderful gift or special piece to wear everyday.
Each sale of this necklace provides vital funding to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that works to help find a cure for Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the USA.
I was diagnosed with Glaucoma when I was born and for the last 34 years have been working with the best doctors in the country maintain my eyesight and keep the disease from further damaging my optic nerve. Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss. Normally there are no signs that you have Glaucoma. There is no pain, no redness or irritation, no noticeable deterioration in vision...until it's too late. That's why screening for Glaucoma early-on is vital in fighting the disease. With proper monitoring, medication and daily dedication to using prescription eye drops, vision can be saved.
I consider myself very lucky to have access to the care I have, but this isn't the case for thousands of at-risk youth and elderly people that may not even know they have the disease. Currently, more than 2.7 million people in the United States over age 40 have glaucoma, but the disease can affect people of all ages. The National Eye Institute projects this number will reach 4.2 million by 2030, a 58 percent increase.
Please help support the Glaucoma Research Foundation by either donating directly through their website or by purchasing one of my Evil Eye Charity necklaces - a portion of the proceeds of each necklace will be donated directly to the organization.
Thank you for your help in funding this wonderful organization.
XOXO - Amanda Deer
Sarah Elgar Jun 22, 2016
I'm touched by your generosity towards the glaucoma foundation. I've always wanted to volunteer for the foundation or help towards research, but it seems like I was never able to find my own unique way like you have.
I, too, have has glaucoma since I was born. I'm 24 now and I feel blessed for the vision I have. I've been extremely fortunate to have access to some of the greatest doctors in the world (Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami), but I know everyone isn't this fortunate.
I'll continue to look for my unique way to contribute and pay it forward to others born with or who acquire glaucoma during childhood, but thanks so much for what you're doing!

Digital video, which has many formats, is a very beneficial tool. Businesses can tap into its overlooked power for Internet marketing (the process of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service 24/7 over the Internet). There is no better way to sell in a global marketplace that is shopping around the clock than with a well-designed website that includes this beneficial tool. He is also involved in numerous litigations and is quickly found in courtrooms around the world.
In the following paragraphs, my goal is to help you understand digital video as it relates to CCTV systems and its many formats.
In its simplest terms, digital video can be defined as video that has been recorded using software and stored digitally in a computer. A CCTV system is a computer. This digitized information can be controlled from a computer and displayed directly on a computer screen.
All current digital video file formats, listed below, are based on PCM or Pulse-code modulation. PCM is a digital representation of an analog signal where the amplitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals and then quantized into a series of symbols in digital form (usually based on binary code).
Here is a brief catalog of digital video file types so that you better understand how it is used.
CCIR 601 (or RE 601) is a file used for broadcast television stations due to analog and digital television conversion. This digital video file format converts and encodes interlaced analog video signals into digital video.
In the past, television commercials were first broadcast on analog, then digital. Today, television commercials can be distributed over wireless networks electronically using digital video technology.
Services like SpotMixer allow businesses to create their own online advertisements and run them across a plethora of media, including television and the Internet.
MPEG-4 is suitable for online distribution of large videos and videos recorded on flash memory. It is a digital format used for video iPods and uploading to YouTube and other social media networks, but keep reading.
MPEG-2 (used for DVDs) is a digital file format used to create DVDs. An MPEG-2 digital video file burned to a DVD will play the video on a DVD player and computer provided the computer has the ability to play DVDs. Some computers with older DVD technology will have difficulty playing DVDs that were burned with newer technology.
MPEG-1 is used for video CDs and was the first mass-marketed digital video format. It is rarely used today but appears occasionally. Many DVD players play MPEG-1, but not all can play this digital file format.
H.261 was the first truly practical digital video coding standard. In fact, all subsequent international encodings such as MPEG-1, H.262, MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4 and H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) have been closely based on the H.261 design. , which is now little used.
H.263 is a video codec standard originally designed as a low bit rate compressed format for video conferencing. H.263 has since found many applications on the Internet: much Flash Video content (as used on sites such as YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, etc.) is encoded in this format.
The original version of Real Video (which I recommend you avoid) was based on H.263 until the release of Real Video 8. In other words, I am talking about H.263 so you can see the legacy.
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC, is the next enhanced codec developed for sharing digital video over the Internet. H.264 provides a significant improvement in capability beyond H.263. The H.263 standard is now considered primarily a legacy design (although it is a recent development).
Most new video conferencing products now include H.264 capabilities as well as H.263 and H.261. Primeau Productions uses H 264 digital video in a Quicktime format to send to webmasters for Flash video encoding on client websites.
Here's the gist: The above files are created using computers, including CCTV systems, and can be viewed with video editing software and digital video file converters.
H.264 technology is an excellent starting file format for creating Flash video. Video editing software can produce different sizes of H.264 and can be used in several ways:
1. A source digital video file to create a Flash video for your website
2. A digital video file that can be emailed
3. A digital video file that can be uploaded to social networks such as YouTube, Yahoo and Viemo
4. To display converted CCTV video codec in court
Flash video is a web-based digital video player. It is cross-platform, which is why I recommend using it for delivering digital video content on your website.
Although many editing programs like Final Cut, Vegas, and Premiere are able to export finished video productions to Flash video (.FLV), creating a complete Flash video is not limited to the video file.
When a digital video file is created as an H.264 (encoded to specs under 10 minutes and 1 GB) and uploaded to YouTube, Yahoo, MetaCafe, and Viemo, the H.264 file is converted to Flash video during the process download.
Many services that publish PR videos on their websites now only accept Flash Video (.FLV) files. HTML 5 is out and nearly takes over Flash, but it still has a ways to go.
If you want to publish a Flash video on your website, here are the components you need besides the .FLV video file:
1. The .html part – the html web page that loads the flash player
2. Part.swf – compiled flash file for web (contains flash video player)
3. Part.flv – the actual video file for the flash player
4. ac_runactivecontent.js – the javascript file that loads the player in browsers
Non-video production-based software created by Adobe called Flash is used to create graphics and videos for websites.
Flash Video is a file format used to deliver videos over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player. The format has quickly established itself as the format of choice for embedded video on the web. Notable users of Flash Video format include YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo, MetaCafe, Viemo, Reuters.com and many other information providers.
Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, through the widely available Adobe Flash Player.
Finally, standardized Theora is still in development and not widely used, but is still worth mentioning to complete your understanding of the various file formats available today.
It is important to understand file formats and the multiple uses of digital video.

Vertical Tasting of Chateau Branaire-Ducru
Branaire-Ducru is a storied Bordeaux property whose wines are remarkably consistent and high in quality. Though Branaire lacks the super-second status of some other properties in Saint-Julien, their wines are dependable and well made. In fact, given the quality in the bottle and the relatively low cost of the wines, I believe Branaire-Ducru represents one of the best buys in Bordeaux wines today. Branaire-Ducru owns roughly 50 hectares of old vines (their average age is 45 years) and is usually one of the most exotic Saint-Julien wines, with hints of ripe cassis, milk chocolate and sweet brown spices.
Actually, Branaire-Ducru has a long in history. Reportedly, wine was first made at the property in 1680 by Jean-Baptiste Braneyre, whose daughter Marie married Pierre du Luc (which explains the property's original name of Braneyre and the name of today's second wine, Château Duluc). It was Marie de Chillaud, granddaughter of Marie, who bought the house in 1817 that was to serve as the foundation for the modern-day chateau building. The estate was further embellished by her children, who then hired the famous architects Rieutord and Laclotte, who created the definitive Branaire-Ducru buildings that are widely admired today.
As is often the case with Bordeaux, there is an American touch here: Laclotte had previously served as an architect in the U.S. Army while living in New Orleans. Braneyre created the property by buying a piece of Château Beychevelle (in fact, Branaire-Ducru stands opposite Beychevelle, which lies just across the small D2 road that winds through the Médoc); it's worth noting that Beychevelle, once a much larger property than it is today, was always believed to own one of the Medoc's best terroirs. Over the centuries, Branaire-Ducru has had many different and distinguished owners. One of the best known was Gustave Ducru, and his family name was added to the property's.
Clearly, although Branaire's wines were always well thought of, the estate's rise to the upper tier of Bordeaux quality coincides with the arrival of current owner Patrick Maroteaux in March of 1988. Maroteaux, a natural consensus builder--it's not by chance that he has served three different terms as President of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux, and is also President of the Saint-Julien appellation--is blessed with incredible energy, a genial disposition, and a remarkable love for Bordeaux, its wines and the region's history. When I first met him 15 years ago, I remember he took me first on a walk along the river's edge, then through Beychevelle's vineyards, and only then on to Branaire-Ducru--this so that I could better understand the gradual change in that section of Saint-Julien's landscape and soils.
In fact, moving east to west (or from the river inland), it's easy to spot the change in the surface's pebbly component to a darker, thicker, more gravelly soil richer in clay. Nevertheless, gravel rules in Saint-Julien (there are at least five different categories of gravel), explaining why cabernet sauvignon is king here. Suddenly, mesmerized by a particularly good-looking gravel patch, Maroteaux stopped midstride, his face lighting up, and said excitedly: "You see how the soil changes here? Had my vineyards just been on the other side of the D2, I'd now likely own a second growth rather than a fourth." If you stop to consider that Maroteaux is one of France's most important and successful businessmen, and that a minor change in soil so excited him, it's easy to understand why the wines of Branaire-Ducru have improved by leaps and bounds under his tenure.
Clearly, Maroteaux has worked with some exceptional talent. Beginning with the 1998 vintage, he appointed Philippe Dhalluin as his chief winemaker and technical director (Dhalluin has since moved on to become general director of Mouton-Rothschild and its sister properties, helping those estates reach new heights as well). In 2002, the talented Jean-Dominique Videau was chosen to replace Dhalluin, and the two men cooperated to make the 2002 vintage. Maroteaux also built the first gravity-flow cuverie of the Médoc as well as an analysis lab in the middle of the cellar, and chose to use almost exclusively high-quality, more expensive Taransaud barrels. "The climate was cooler then, and the thinking was to plant more merlot; but achieving better grape ripeness was really the key. Through better viticulture, we now harvest, on average, 12 days later than we did in the early '80s, thanks to greatly reduced vine vigor. This is obvious today, but 20 years ago it wasn't. In the end we actually planted more cabernet sauvignon!"
The following tasting was held in the château's tasting room last April, in the presence of Maroteaux, his wife Evelyne, winemaker Videau and a very small group of wine journalists from all over the world. The wines were tasted almost blind--that is, we weren't told which vintages we were being served. Later, I opened another four vintages from my own cellar (bottles that I purchased upon release, in Bordeaux) to make the report more complete. I don't remember a single bottle needing to be replaced due to cork taint or any other flaw. My thanks to both Patrick Maroteaux and his aide Nathalie Lamblot for the detailed and helpful historical data.
