Pearl Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram knows that routine oil changes can often slip our customers minds. Keeping your Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Durango or Grand Caravan running smoothly and safely is our service center's priority, which is why drivers from Peotone, Kankakee and Bourbonnais can count on our team to take care of all your oil change needs.
Knowing when to change your oil and the type of oil your vehicle needs is important, but not every Chicago Heights, Frankfort or New Lenox driver always has this information on hand. That's why we've put together some frequently asked questions about basic oil changes for our customers throughout Illinois.
How Do I Know When It's Time For An Oil Change?
Your owner's manual should contain the information regarding your vehicle's specific oil change requirements, however, it's recommended that you take into consideration how much you drive (more frequently will require sooner oil changes), and the conditions in which you're driving. Your vehicle's oil light will also come on if something needs attention.
Your car's oil lubricates the engine and allows each moving part to operate smoothly. If your vehicle's oil is old, or low, it can become sludge-like, which can clog and damage your engine. Changing your oil regularly keeps your engine's parts moving without friction, and will prevent overheating or damage.
What Kind Of Oil Do I Need?
Every vehicle is different, and your owner's manual should let you know what type of oil your car will function best with. Our service technicians can also provide this information if you're not able to access it. We stock the best types of conventional and synthetic motor oil here at our dealership, and we'd be happy to assist you in choosing the motor oil that will enhance your vehicle's performance on the road today.
How Do I Schedule an Oil Change at Pearl Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM?
You can either schedule your service appointment online or give our Service Center a call at (708) 620-7102. Just mention that you're looking to schedule an oil change, and we'll work with you to find the earliest date and time that works within your schedule!
What If I Have More Oil Change Questions?
The service team at Pearl Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM is here to answer your oil change questions! You can fill out the form below or give our Service Center a call. We're here to help you understand servicing your car, truck or SUV.

Aeroflot Superjet lands in flames at Moscow
By David Kaminski-Morrow2019-05-05T16:21:14+01:00
Video images emerging from Moscow Sheremetyevo show an Aeroflot aircraft has landed with a severe fire engulfing the aft sections of the aircraft.
Images circulating on social media show the aircraft, apparently a Sukhoi Superjet 100, ablaze with passengers evacuating the aircraft through slides on the forward doors.
No immediate information is available on which flight or airframe is involved, nor on any injuries to those on board.

Hey, I tried connecting to newsgroups using NNTP servers. I had my details right but could not connect. Since this was the first time i tried connecting to NNTP servers using Sify Broadband, I am not sure if the NNTP servers are not blocked or anything.
I got my userid from http://news.individual.net/ it worked when I was in faridabad on touchtel.
I thought you said NNTP worked for you ? I have been unable to get NNTP working - I have asked sify to unblock port 119 and the tech support guy actually followed up *5* times the same day. He actually called me back !! Unfortunately - they weren't able to get it working (after conferring with the head office at Chennai). The couldn't figure out why NNTP was not working - I know my settings are right, because the moment I switch to dial-up, I can get at the newsgroups.Other ports which I've requested unblocking were successfully unblocked.Haven't had the time to follow up since. If anyone knows what's up - please let us know.
yeah thats the port that comes in my nntp software. no one responds to my mail. i will try it again.
However, I remember calling up customer support (at Chennai) and they said "we cannot open a request for 119 - becuase we are NOT blocking it; check your local CTO" .
I'll customer support again and maybe I'll get someone more in the "know" this time round.
They want me to buy corporate packs to access NNTP servers. This is really crossing the lines for me.
maybe next we would be seeing more services that they think consume bandwidth getting banned. ftp, game servers, torrents... maybe http protocols as well.what is broadband really for? pay us money. check your mail. disconnect. thank you. hope you had fun surfing with sify broadband.
This is really terrible. How can an ISP block our availing of some innocuous services. Newsgroups are one of the first services that were started on the internet. An Internet Service Provider blocking access to it is very condemnable.
You might want to consult this for a possible solution/workaround http://www.newzbot.com/feedback.php?opt=vi...d=653&topicid=0.
Can you believe it, I entered "port 119" on Google to know more about it and found this post on the very first spot about someone complaining that his port 119 is blocked, and a possible solution to it given.
Hope things work for you.
I am having the same problem, i.e., inability to access newsgroups through Outlook Express.
Sify's "technical" help is useless. When I complained to SIFY, they initially gave me detailed UNNECESSARY, irrelevant instructions on how to configure OE for mail. After some protracted correspondence, they frinally told me they "don't support newsgroups". I have asked whether they have blocked port 119, but there has been no reply.
There must be a legal remedy for all this - like consumer courts. If someone knows, please inform me. The point is, the consumer is not told beforehand that he or she cannot access newsgroups.

HomeMiningAlmaden Announces Pathfinder Elements Validate SE Alteration Zone Potential for Epithermal Veining
Almaden Announces Pathfinder Elements Validate SE Alteration Zone Potential for Epithermal Veining
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Almaden Minerals Ltd. ("Almaden" or "the Company"; TSX
: AMM
; NYSE
: AAU
is pleased to report the results of initial surface sampling of the veins discovered in the Southeast ("SE") Alteration Zone of the Ixtaca Project.
As announced on November 18
, the Company discovered several areas of veining cropping out within the SE Alteration Zone of the Ixtaca Project while mapping promising clay alteration in the area.
Seventeen samples of the veining were collected and submitted for analysis to ALS Global in Zacatecas, Mexico. All but one sample returned below detection gold and silver, with the exception returning a value of 62 ppb gold. However, even though the outcrops are leached and weathered, many of the samples also returned elevated values for epithermal pathfinder elements which are commonly found in the higher parts of epithermal alteration zones.
Morgan J. Poliquin, President and CEO of Almaden, stated "The presence of pathfinder elements in these samples is very encouraging as it corroborates our view that the SE Alteration Zone could represent the higher levels of a potential underlying epithermal system. It is quite typical that the higher parts of these systems contain negligible precious metals values. We look forward to continued mapping, and eventually drilling, in this area."
SE Alteration Zone
The Ixtaca deposit occurs in both the overlying volcanic rocks and the older underlying carbonate sedimentary rocks. The bulk of the gold and silver bearing epithermal veins comprising the Ixtaca deposit are hosted by the underlying sedimentary rocks, while the overlying volcanic unit is typically mineralized at its base and clay altered above. This alteration appears to extend to the southeast of the Ixtaca deposit area where a topographic high exposes a section of the overlying volcanic rocks with significant clay alteration in an area measuring about 1.5 kilometre (km) east-west by 1 km north-south, which is referred to as the SE Alteration Zone, which is centred approximately 1km south east of the Ixtaca deposit.
The SE Alteration Zone comprises white argillic (clay-altered) volcanics and, most interestingly, clusters of anomalies identified from a hyperspectral survey that include the spectral signatures of important epithermal alteration minerals such as kaolinite, alunite and buddingtonite. The Company believes that there is significant potential for the discovery of a new zone of epithermal mineralization in the sedimentary rocks beneath the SE Alteration Zone and possibly at other similar anomalies in the area.
Any mineralization found within the SE Alteration Zone would represent a new discovery as this area lies well outside of the current Ixtaca deposit resource area, which was the focus of a Feasibility Study (results of which were announced by the Company in December, 2018), and 2019 environmental permit application. A report titled "Ixtaca Gold-Silver Project, Puebla State, Mexico NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Feasibility Study", which was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR and on the Company's website.
Exploration Opportunities
The Ixtaca deposit is one of several exploration targets on the Company's mineral claims, which cover an area of high-level epithermal clay alteration. The project area is partially covered by volcanic ash deposits which mask underlying alteration, potential vein zones and associated soil responses. In areas devoid of this covering ash soil sampling has defined several distinct zones of elevated gold and silver values and trace elements typically associated with epithermal vein systems. The Ixtaca zone is one of the largest areas of gold/silver soil response but it is also one of the areas with the least ash cover on the project.
Management believes that the other altered and geochemically anomalous areas could represent additional zones of underlying quartz-carbonate epithermal veining like the Ixtaca zone. The potential quantity and grade of these exploration targets is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration and/or study to define these exploration targets as a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if additional exploration will result in these exploration targets being delineated as a Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of these exploration targets has not been used in this Study.

Hema Imager from Hema Imaging is another affordable thermal camera accessory for smartphones and tablets that had launched a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign a few months ago. Unfortunately even though there were quite a lot of supporters the goal of the campaign has not been reached, but the project is not dead and the people being it are still working on improving things and promise to launch a new crowd-funding campaign soon. Hema-Imager uses a thermal imaging sensor with resolution of 64×62 pixels and connects to mobile devices over a Bluetooth interface, users will have access to three primary image modes – thermal overlay on color camera, thermal overlay on wireframe camera, and raw thermal image. The idea of the device is to be paired with a mobile gadget that already has a visible light camera, so that visible and thermal images can be overlayed, but you should be able to use the thermal images with a computer over WiFi as well if you are Ok with just the thermal images.
The most interesting thing about the HemaImager is that the device does not use an uncooled microbolometer as a thermal sensor (like many thermal cameras do, especially in the more affordable range), but instead is relying on a thermopile array as a thermal sensor. This allows the HemaImager to work without the need to recalibrate from time to time in order to avoid the device to start reporting false thermal information. As most thermal imaging devices rely on microbolometer arrays for sensors they need to recalibrate the sensor array from time to time in order to continue reporting accurate temperature data and this means that every few seconds you get a pause in the measuring that the device performs until it recalibrates and is available for use again.
– Frame rate up to the ITAR-TASS regulations limit of 9 frames per second to any fully Bluetooth or WiFi-capable device.
– Low power consumption and 850 mAhr battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous use without charging, or over a month if just using for 10 minutes daily.
The projected price for the end product should be $250 USD which will make the Hema Imager a really affordable thermal camera accessory for module devices with good features and specifications if/when it becomes available. Since the Kickstarter project did not get funded completely and the people behind the project plan to relaunch a new campaign the device may not see the light of day before sometime in 2015, maybe the second half, you may want to look at some other alternatives that may not be so good and affordable or flexible, but are already available on the market.


What Happens When Brands Engage? What Happens When Brands Engage?
Home All Posts Blog What Happens When Brands Engage Socially?
Every brand hopes their audience will engage, but what happens when someone does? Are you merely collecting data or promoting dialog? Is social engagement factored into your transmedia strategy? It should be – it expands reach as your audience becomes part of your brand's story.
It's Friday night and Netflix sends me a push notification that House of Cards Season 3 is now available. Can you say, "Binge-watching?" I've got the entertainment, now I need food. My challenge? I'm not much for cooking and the fridge is reasonably empty, so I tapped my EAT24 app and started sorting through restaurant options. Chili's it is. Once I reached the end of my order I'd noticed a Twitter section in the upper right corner. It isn't just an option to tweet my experience, it is pre-populated with funny, little quips I can share with my online community. So I did – adding in a little about Netflix being the perfect pairing for a Friday night in.
My experience with EAT24 didn't stop there, within minutes they had started a dialog on Twitter that had me literally laughing out loud.
I've been a fan of theirs for awhile. I mean really, have you read their blog? It's not just comical, it's authentic! This, however, was the first time I'd used the app and taken the step to connect with them socially, and the results were hilarious. I've shared this experience over and over with friends to the point they've started using EAT24 for the occasional #movienightin, #nocook or #rainyday evenings when they just want a friendly face to deliver their dining experience.
Social strategies like this get an audience talking, laughing and sharing, which in turn expands your company's reach one order, tweet and virtual conversation at a time. #Genius. And we – the audience – become part of your brand's story.
They designed a social strategy that carries across transmedia platforms – website, app, Twitter, etc.
They monitor their channels and create active dialog – I'm not the only one they've chatted with, check out the Twitter results.
They mine their data to uncover new opportunities and improve our experience – like their marriage proposal to Dominos which came about because it's their #1 keyword search – we're still waiting for that YES.
They offer incentives that we can share with our community – one word: meow – who doesn't love sharing with friends?
Oh, and if you didn't hear already, Yelp just acquired these guys for $134 million – if that's not a quantitative reward for a job well done, I don't know what is!
Although there are a lot of things to consider when putting a social strategy together: platforms, technology, resources and frequency, just to name a few – don't be afraid to dip your toe in. When you do decide to go social, your audience may just decide to follow you and engage.
What companies do you think have a great social engagement strategy? If it's yours, share an example.

PED on a linear demand curve will fall continuously as the curve slopes downwards, moving from left to right. PED = 1 at the midpoint of a linear demand curve. PED = 1 at the midpoint of a linear demand curve.... Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the data in Figure 2 for an increase in price from G to H. Does the elasticity increase or decrease as we move up the demand curve? Does the elasticity increase or decrease as we move up the demand curve?
8/11/2008�� What is mid-point formula of elasticity? Calculate elasticity of demand from point A to point B, and from B to C, in this graph by using this formula. (Show your calculations). Calculate elasticity of demand from point A to point B, and from B to C, in this graph by using this formula.... The increase in time horizon typically increase the elasticity of demand: the price elasticity of demand is expressed as the ratio between the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price written as: The calculated value must always be presented as a positive number or an absolute value" regardless of the negative result.
midpoint of the demand curve. Any price change towards midpoint will increase revenue. Any price change towards midpoint will increase revenue. When demand is inelastic (a price elasticity less than 1), price and total revenue move in the _____ direction.
Elasticity of demand is equal to the percentage change of quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price. In this video, we go over specific terminology and notation, including how to use the midpoint formula.
If you try calculating the price of demand between two points on a demand curve, you will quickly notice an annoying problem: the elasticity from point A to point B seems different from the elasticity from point B to point A. One way to avoid this problem is to use the midpoint method for calculating elasticities.

Dandelion root is reported to help maintain healthy liver function primarily due to the encouragement of bile flow, (which may discourage the accumulation of certain toxins in the liver).
The curcuminoids in turmeric root have been heavily researched for their powerful antioxidant properties, which is especially sigfinicant considering the destructive effect of free radicals on liver health. More specifically, there is some evidence that turmeric may enhance the activity of two enzymes crucial to liver health, glutathione-S-transferase and UDP glucuronyl transferase.
In addition to helping maintain healthy bile flow, studies suggest that artichoke leaf offers protection against free radical damage to the liver and may support proper liver cell regeneration.
Research shows that schisandra can play a beneficial role in promotion of both the Phase I and Phase II detoxification processes in the liver. In addition, the berries may afford the liver considerable antioxidant protection.
Both the berries and leaves of sea buckthorn have been the subject of encouraging research which suggest potent liver-supportive properties. It is thought that the powerful mix of naturally-occurring phytonutrient antioxidants account for much of the potential benefits to liver health.
Catechins, a major family of antioxidant polyphenols in green tea, possess a remarkably potent inhibitory effect against lipid oxidation. This is especially significant in that oxidised hepatic fats have a particularly adverse influence on liver health.
Kale's major sulphur-rich antioxidants, such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol. Research suggests that these sulphur compounds may encourage the healthy elimination of various toxins that are known to be harmful to the liver.
Barley grass provides a range of potent antioxidant enzymes which not only inhibit lipid oxidation, but also may support healthy liver and cellular detoxification.
Evidence suggests that antioxidant protection is crucial to liver health. SRB contains more than 100 known antioxidants including tocotrienols, tocopherols, alpha lipoic acid (which also recycles antioxidants such as vitamins C and E), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and numerous carotenoids. It also is shown to possess activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase.

Milestones Museum, Basingstoke
Home / Forum / Pictures / Bikes / Trikes / HotRods
Basingstoke isn't really known for it's tourist attractions. Over the years we've been used by comedians as a generic name for sprawling ugly towns everywhere & have gained an image of concrete & roundabouts. It WAS like that once but It's not entirely true these days. Most of the 60s architecture has long since gone, we've got a big new shiny shopping centre & there are some nice little areas tucked away if you look for them. "Milestones" is an attraction that seems to get very little media coverage, which is a shame cos it's actually very good.
Standing on a raised bank overlooking the main Basingstoke ring road, the museum is housed in a purpose built "hangar" surrounded by a grassy play/picnic area full of agricultural implements & tactile modern sculptures. The whole place is very "hands on" with kids positively encouraged to touch the exhibits & lots of educational information. During term time they host a lot of school visits & have classroom facilities & guides in period costume to show the youngsters around.
So what is Milestones exactly then? Well, it's a museum of Hampshire life within living memory. They've scoured the county & bought up examples of buildings, businesses & shops, dismantled them, then rebuilt them brick by brick here into street scenes.
It's very well done, with real attention to detail, with pavements, manhole covers, tram lines, genuine wooden block-end cobbles -even down to stuffed birds sitting on rooftops. Window displays are full of genuine period products, vehicles stand on the streets & at certain times, enthusiasts wander the alleyways in period garb. It's like strolling through a film set., A First World War Thornycrofts army lorry stands on a street corner, outside a Georgian pub that serves local Gales beers at lunchtimes & weekends. For some 75 years the main employer in Basingstoke was Thornycrofts. They had a large factory literally within a stone's throw of the museum, (if you're a good shot), & built heavy lorries, most famously the huge Antar tank transporters. They were still here when I first moved to the town as a teenager, though reduced to building gearboxes for other lorry manufacturers. Now sadly gone, their factory site is occupied by Morrisons supermarket, but the landmark
factory clock tower will soon be resurrected & mounted on a plinth on the roundabout in front of the museum. The Thornycrofts Society has provided some of the vehicles that fill the street scenes & did a lot of the fund raising for the project. Along with other local companies, they have a display of their history & even some of the fittings from the factory. Some of the shops are open for visitors to wander in & check out the shelves of goods, while others lead into display areas.
Besides shop fronts there's a saw mill, railway ticket office & siding, factory yards, a garage -all kinds of stuff to discover. Everything is very informal, leaving you to stroll wherever you choose, but there are telephone style audio guides available to give you more in depth information on the exhibits if you want it.
There are lorries, buses, a tram, steam engines, motorcycles, railway wagons, an example of a three-wheeled sports car built by a local entrepenuer -even period bicycles filling the streets.When you enter the lobby the museum is set below ground level so your first view is of the rooftops of the buildings. There's a very nice coffee shop & a classy gift shop, with lifts & stairs down into the exhibits & a cloakroom to leave your leathers & crash helmets in. It appears to be wheel-chair friendly but worth a call to check first I guess.
I like museums but hate the stuffy, sterile atmosphere of most. This one's different. It's fun & interesting. Most of the stuff on show is within living memory -I've heard pensioners reminiscing over various details of times gone by, only to find myself doing the same over displays of 70s cameras
& stereos! The A.A, who's main headquarters is in Basingstoke at the moment, (though relocating soon), have a large display of uniforms, equipment & vehicles -including a Triumph younger than the one I used to blat around on!
Definitely worth a look if you're in the area. Plenty to keep kids amused, (even boxes of vintage dressing up clothes on hand for children -or very small bikers). The outside play area is secure & safe & being on the main leisure park site, there's a pub/restaurant within walking distance, as well as McDonalds, KFC & a pizza restaurant, plus Basingstoke's ice-rink, (home to our own ice hockey team), a ten screen cinema, huge swimming pool with big curly slide thingies, ten pin bowling alley, indoor crown green bowling, bingo hall -all within walking distance. What more could
you want!
Milestones Museum is open Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5pm.
Saturday & Sunday 11am - 5pm.
3 miles from junction 6 of the M3 on the Leisure Park, off Churchill Way west.
£6.50 for adults
£16.50 for Family Tickets, (2 adults, 2 children).

If you have one in your family then you will already know what I mean. These star bright children have abilities that we can only imagine. Managing them can be a bit of a challenge. The first thing to realize is that you can't change them, they just are….
You will hurt yourself if you try, so don't, just let them Be. They are themselves and it's much easier for you both if you accept this from the start. Who they are will emerge eventually…. well probably.
Don't try to categorise them and put them in a box – indigos or crystals. That's not helpful and is not real anyway, it was just someone's idea of how to rationalise who they are. Thinking in a conventional way doesn't work with them. They are just children and like every one they are all different. They are advanced beings and have abilities and learn by osmosis but essentially they are the same. They are reasonable if you are confidant and firm with them. They respond well to someone who takes charge, like any child. If you don't take on the adult role you will make them feel insecure and they will try to take charge of you. This is something they are not ready for and their behaviour may get out of control. If this goes on too long a bit of tough love may be required.
All they need is a little guidance and a good routine. Stimulate their imagination above all else. Never let them think that there are things that just can't be done. They may not have had a body before and don't understand how it works. They can heal themselves if you tell them they can. Get them to do it at night.
One star kid that I know healed a broken big toe. He was taken to the doctor who said yes it was almost certainly broken. There is no x-ray machine here, the nearest is two hours away which with the hospital waiting time makes it a whole day's trip. They strapped his toe up to the next toe but after a few days of suffering he had had enough. His mother had to explain to him what he needed to do, that the bones needed to knit back together. As soon as he understood he fixed it overnight and was out playing football the next day.
Sometimes they need to be given a little motivation. Remove something they enjoy until they have cured that dreadful cold. You will be surprised how quickly the coughing and sneezing stops. Because they are not familiar with having a human body they simply don't notice or don't understand how to take care of it. Guidance may not work, they may have no idea what you are talking about. Keep it simple but be specific. They can feel what you are talking about even if they don't understand the words. Even very young children will get the idea.
We all have their abilities too. The difference is that they don't have the inhibitions that have been cultivated in our society. That is one of their roles. To show us what we can do.
They can push your buttons if you let them. Parenting is not a job for the weak hearted. You should remember that you signed up for this when you created your life agreement before coming to Earth. Get used to it. It's not going to go away. The reason you signed up is because it will make you grow – really fast.
Speed can be very exhilarating but it's not always comfortable. Unfortunately you have no choice in this for the moment. Never try to out think them they will run rings around you. Instead be fun and completely and utterly unpredictable. That should keep them amused. The good news is that most of the dark stuff they could have fallen into is out of the way and shouldn't cause problems any more. You still need to be alert and able to act quickly at all times.
One ten year old I was looking after was given a crystal by a guest who felt he needed to give it to him. Yes, he needed to give the crystal away because it was being used to control this person. He was a light worker and had the best of intentions but he had a weakness, he was a compulsive gambler. This weakness had given the dark a way in. Unknown to him he was being manipulate and heavily controlled by a dark angel.
The star kid hung the crystal around his neck but after a while became rather uncomfortable. He felt the wrongness and acted intuitively. Using some magic of his own he reversed the trap and managed to imprison the dark angel in the crystal but was somewhat freaked out by the experience. He had struggled with this powerful being which can't have been a pleasant interaction. His mother, a strong intuitive, was no help because she had already been caught by another crystal that the same person had given her. It was a rather nasty but very clever trap that caught her higher aspect leaving only her lower levels functioning.
The star kid having vanquished his foe and with a little fear in his eyes handed the crystal to me. He expected me as an adult in charge of him to be able to handle the situation.
Star children are not for the fear filled. You have to act quickly and be ready for anything. You can't do that if you live in your head. Thoughts are way to slow, that's when intuition comes to your rescue and you do things instantly. I called in Metatron and gave the crystal to him. He assisted me and the dark angel is now a light angel or so the child told me.
There was a lot more, I had to deal with his mother too but you get the rough idea. I needed to remain outwardly and emotionally calm. This kid is empathic, telepathic and notices everything even when he's asleep. He was so upset that he slept on a sofa in the lounge until we all went to bed. He is now rather wary of crystals which is probably a good thing.
If your little one goes outside and removes the chem trails including the plane, as he once did, you need to be quite casual about it. Treat it as a normal everyday occurrence and what ever you do, do not freak out.
I had to reassure the child that sure the pilot was OK, he's just on a different time line, smiling at him with fingers crossed. The star child sighed with relief and went off to play ignoring our somewhat speechless and still mildly hysterical guest. Sadly he was reluctant do it again.
You can fall to pieces later if you need to but try not to do it in front of them. Such experiences leave them open and vulnerable and they need your unwavering support. Treat it just like anything else they do. Learn to project a sense of everything is OK, which of course it is.
The big secret with all this that helps make everything make more sense is that you are a star kid too. We all are but unlike them we forgot. Their job is to remind us.
love it. 'specially where the plane disappeared. Thank you for this wee insight , lovely to hear of another's experiences with these beauty-full children.

The Obsession, Science and Luck Behind the World's Fastest Cyclists
By: Michael Hutchinson
For professional cyclists, going faster and winning are, of course, closely related. Yet surprisingly, for many, a desire to go faster is much more important than a desire to win. Someone who wants to go faster will work at the details and take small steps rather than focusing on winning. Winning just happens when you do everything right - it's the doing everything right that's hard. And that's what fascinates and obsesses Michael Hutchinson.

The Untold Story of the Tragic 1979 Fastnet Race
By: Sinead O'Brien, Nick Ward
The Fastnet Race is the world famous yacht race from the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland and back. The race of 1979 began in perfect weather conditions but within 48 hours, the deadliest storm in the history of modern sailing struck off the south coast of Ireland. By the time it had passed, the havoc caused was immeasurable. Even more devastating, it had mercilessly taken the lives of 15 sailors.

Q: Dodging intervals in ggplot I am trying dodge a pair of means and confidence intervals for two models using ggplot. I've looked into similar questions like this and this, but their code doesn't address my problem.
I have the following data frame (note that condition is a factor, values increase as you descend down the data frame):
>print(dat)
    condition        pH    lowerH    upperH model
1   Black 650 0.7863719 0.6863438 0.8548062   pdp
2   Black 650 0.8428675 0.7123000 0.9574000   ddm
3   White 650 0.8133078 0.7310262 0.8864712   pdp
4   White 650 0.8211373 0.6838000 0.9488000   ddm
5   Black 800 0.8754109 0.7908725 0.9306012   pdp
6   Black 800 0.9408192 0.8410000 0.9941000   ddm
7   White 800 0.9044102 0.8349587 0.9623462   pdp
8   White 800 0.9183600 0.8145000 0.9867000   ddm
9   Black 950 0.9003072 0.8403200 0.9601112   pdp
10  Black 950 0.9569349 0.8812000 0.9967000   ddm
11  White 950 0.9131546 0.8494812 0.9648262   pdp
12  White 950 0.9473685 0.8683000 0.9934000   ddm
13 Black 1100 0.9091797 0.8342850 0.9622412   pdp
14 Black 1100 0.9708420 0.8864000 0.9977000   ddm
15 White 1100 0.9274862 0.8636063 0.9691300   pdp
16 White 1100 0.9570067 0.8727000 0.9954000   ddm

I am trying to plot the mean (pH) and confidence interval (lowerH, upperH) for each condition as a function of the model used (model).  What I'd like is for the means and CIs to be dodged so that they are not overlapping. I've written the following ggplot code:
ggplot(dat, aes(x = condition, y = pH)) +
  geom_point(size = 3, shape = 5) + #pred cond mean
  geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = lowerH, ymax = upperH), size = .2) + #95% HDI
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(.5, 1.01)) + #adjust x-axis
  ylab("Hit Rate") + #label y axis
  theme_bw() + #black and white theme
  theme(axis.title.x = element_blank(),
    panel.background = element_blank(),
    panel.grid = element_blank(),
    panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill = NA, size = 1))

Which creates this output
As you can see, the means and CIs for both models overlap. However, when I try to dodge them, as I've done in the code below, I only succeed in moving all data points to the left (with the model means and CIs still overlapping).
ggplot(dat, aes(x = condition, y = pH)) +
  geom_point(size = 3, shape = 5, position = position_dodge(5)) + #pred cond mean
  geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = lowerH, ymax = upperH), size = .2) + #95% HDI
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(.5, 1.01)) + #adjust x-axis
  ylab("Hit Rate") + #label y axis
  theme_bw() + #black and white theme
  theme(axis.title.x = element_blank(),
    panel.background = element_blank(),
    panel.grid = element_blank(),
    panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill = NA, size = 1))

What I'm looking for is a way to dodge the model means and CIs so that they are nonoverlapping. Sample code is especially helpful.

A: You need to add a level of group or color to the plot. Here I'm using col, you can also use group to keep the colours the same:
ggplot(dat, aes(x = condition, y = pH, col = model)) +
    geom_point(size = 3, shape = 5, position = position_dodge(1)) +
    geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = lowerH, ymax = upperH),
                    position = position_dodge(1), size = .2)

HomenewsTerm paper writingEssay on Marat/Sade Assignment
Essay on Marat/Sade Assignment
The main characters of Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade Jean Paul Marat and Marquis de Sade are the characters, who stand on totally different grounds and the author uncovers their position through the virtual conflict between Marat's revolutionist views and Sade's nihilism. Even though Marat ends up his life being executed, such an ending of the play still does not necessarily mean the victory of Sade's nihilism. In stark contrast, such ending rather proves the righteousness of Marat and his belief in the possibility of revolutionary changes, than the power of nihilism because Marat has evoked the public consciousness and raised the revolution, which swept him away and eventually executed him, whereas Sade's nihilism just led to the total isolation and indifference of Sade to the external world, whereas he became focused entirely on his internal world.
The play is built upon the juxtaposition between revolution and nihilism. In fact, the struggle between Marat's revolutionist idea and Sade's nihilism is the milestone of the entire play. In this respect, it is important to place emphasis on the fact that Marat and Sade are two philosophers, who stand on absolutely different grounds. At the same time, they are both disenchanted in the world and society because they are conscious of their imperfectness and injustice that rules the world and defines the life of many people. In such a situation, Marat and Sade choose two absolutely different approaches to the solution of existing problems in the society. On the one hand, Marat suggests the revolution that can sweep away the current social order and introduce the new, ideal one. On the other hand, Sade suggests abandoning all the efforts to change humans and the world and focus on the internal world entirely, whereas the external world brings nothing but sufferings.
In fact, Marat stands for revolution and changes. He argues that the society cannot live without changes and changes are essential but changes can occur only in the result of the revolution because the ruling elite will never accept the demands of the oppressed part of the population. Therefore, he believes that the revolution is the only way to change the existing society and to make the life of people better. He believes that the revolutionary struggle can bring positive results to people. He argues that the revolution can change the world for better and changes brought by the revolution can change the very philosophy of the society to the extent that the society will live in harmony and balance to avoid any further revolutions, if the revolution is once conducted properly completes the evolution of the human society.
In stark contrast, Sade stands on the ground of nihilism and contempt of all progressive ideas of Marat. He does not believe in the ability of people to change their life for better. He is a nihilist, who is persuaded that any changes any revolutions will lead to nowhere but another turn leading to the dead-end, where live in sufferings and troubles. This is why he suggests refusing from any attempt to carry on the revolutionary struggle and to focus on the internal world of an individual entirely.
In fact, Marat views revolution as salvation from all the current troubles. In contrast, Sade is disenchanted in revolution:
�At first I saw in the revolution a chance
for a tremendous outburst of revenge
an orgy greater than all my dreams
[CORDAY slowly raises the whip and lashes him. SADE cowers]
But then I saw
when I sat in the courtroom myself
[Whiplash. SADE gasps]
not as I had been before the accused
but as a judge
I couldn't bring myself
to deliver the prisoner to the hangman
It was inhuman it was dull
and curiously technocratic
[Whiplash.]
And now Marat
[Whiplash. SADE breathes heavily.]
now I see where
the revolution is leading (Weiss, 189).
In such a way, Sade argues that the revolution leads to another bloodshed and new sufferings of people. He sees no point in the revolution because it just leads to the change in the position of different people but does not change the society and social relations proper. The injustice persists in the society and revolution cannot be a salvation, according to Sade.
In this regard, Marat is closer to Wiess' revolutionary views and belief in the possibility of positive changes in the society through the revolutionary struggle. Obviously, Marat expresses the author's idea that the revolution can bring changes essential for the elimination of fundamental social and economic problems, such as the problem of poverty. In this regard, Marat is more persuading than Sade because he carries on his struggle and he is never giving in until the end. It seems as if the death fails to tame him. Instead, Marat carries on his struggle and his spirit is invisibly present even decades after his death in the revolutionary time.

← Does Physics Leave Room for the Supernatural?
Quantum mechanics centers on a mathematical function, the wave function, that gives the probability of all possible outcomes of a particle or system of particles over time from any given starting point. And here's the thing: the unfolding of this wave over time is completely deterministic.
Under one interpretation of quantum mechanics, the actual outcome results from the "collapse of the wave function" when an observer interacts with the system. Think of a quarter spinning perfectly on a table. With your eyes closed, you slap it down, lift your hand and open your eyes. The coin will show heads or tails. Your act of observation (slap and peek) has collapsed the 50/50 probability of heads or tails to a single outcome, but no amount of wishing will make heads more likely. If you disagree, you should stop reading this blog right now, get yourself to a slot-machine parlor, get rich, and come back to tell me how wrong I was.
Under the Everett, or Many Worlds, Interpretation, the probability wave does not collapse. Instead, if you observe a system that has two possible outcomes, your wave function becomes "entangled" with that of the system at two points: the portion of the system's wave that we might call Outcome A becomes entangled with a portion of your wave function that we might call Observer A, and Outcome B becomes entangled with Observer B. Entanglement means that Observer A is only aware of Outcome A, and the same for Observer B and Outcome B. In a sense, there are now two of you, but that's not really true. There is still just one wave function, but the entanglement state has changed. Although this is fantastical in the extreme, it is an interpretation favored by many professional physicists, who are perhaps more accustomed than the rest of us to the fact that the universe consists of mathematical abstractions.
In either case, the observer cannot possibly influence the outcome.

There are many variables that factor into a successful weight loss program. This body of work will cover the top five allies in the war against obesity. We will discuss the role that water plays, the importance of exercise, a proper nutritional diet, how sleep factors in and lastly the effects of your mental attitude.
Nutrition is probably one of the most important factors to consider when trying to lose weight. There are four main factors that should be included when making your diet to ensure that your plan is nutritional and safe. Factor one is maintaining a properly balanced diet. Foods should be chosen in accordance with three food groups: carbohydrates, protein and fats. Consumed in the correct quantities and you can't help but lose weight. Second depends on the types of food chosen to represent the 3 groups. For instance, most people get their protein from flesh. This makes for a poor choice because the fat content is often extremely too high in fleshy foods. Instead, pick your proteins from plant sources. They have less fat content and have the added benefit of fiber which is essential in removing toxins from the body. The third point may seem obvious but food portions are also a vital part of nutrition. Eating too large a portion results in the consumption of excess calories, which is counter productive to your weight loss. Eating regularly is the last piece of the nutrition puzzle. Your body adjusts to the eating schedule and then starts to function more efficiently. This allows one to maintain their weight and not begin to yo-yo on the scale anymore. All of these together make up the perfect nutritional diet to help you in weight loss.
There have been many studies conducted on the effects of sleep deprivation and weight loss. It has been proven that a lack of sleep can cause unclear thinking, diminished physical strength and an increase in the desire for food. "Fatigue makes fools of us all." This means that when you're tired you eat foods that you wouldn't normal choose and make excuses as to why it is OK to have that cake at mid-night. Best advise, put the cake down and go to sleep.
The most important and least talked about factor in weight loss is your own mental attitude. Do you believe that you can lose the weight? Will you have the will power to say no to that ice cream? Is today when you start your exercise or will it forever be tomorrow? Success will only be achieved when one accepts personal responsibility for their personal well-being. Only you can stop you.
I am not a doctor by any means. I am just another ex-fat slob who took control of her life and you can too. These were the things that helped me the most. All the leg work has been done for you people now it is up to you. I lost 93 lbs. How much will you lose?

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT THREATS, INTIMIDATION, AND BULLYING
CONTINUE TO CLAIM INNOCENT LIVES
GARRYOWEN, MT
Following a fourth suicide subsequent to bullying and harassment by Bureau of Land Management law enforcement agents, Christopher Kortlander, the Founding Director of the Custer Battlefield Museum in Garryowen, MT, is speaking out. Kortlander, himself the victim of two unwarranted Bureau of Land Management raids, says the intimidation and threats by teams of heavily-armed BLM law enforcement agents must end.
"The Bureau of Land Management has a long track record of aggressive harassment, unwarranted raids, and heartbreaking suicides to answer for," said Kortlander. "Their questionable assertions of criminal behavior and unchecked aggression must be exposed and those involved must be investigated."
Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Republican from Utah, said, "We need to be more Andy Griffith and less Rambo." In a January 24th press release, he announced his plan to do just that. Chaffetz reintroduced the Local Enforcement for Local Lands Act, or H.R. 622, which will strip the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service of their law enforcement authority, with the aim of bringing these agencies into line. "It's time to get rid of the BLM and US Forest Service police," Chaffetz says, "If there is a problem, your local sheriff is the first and best line of defense. By restoring local control in law enforcement, we enable federal agencies and county sheriffs to each focus on their respective core missions."
Kortlander recounts, "In 2014, I was asked by an elected official to submit written testimony to the House of Representatives subcommittee that investigates this type of harassment and intimidation by federal law enforcement, but nothing has come of it. It's time to get the public involved to end this kind of harassment of private, law-abiding citizens." (See Congressional Hearing- Threats, Intimidation and Bullying by Federal Land Managing Agencies – The attached 56-page document, submitted at this congressional hearing on July 24, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 1324 of the Longworth House Office Building, is very important because it reveals WHY the Custer Battlefield Museum Raids, the Four Corners Raids, and the Gibson Guitar Raids occurred.)
Federal Raids Lead to Suicides
On June 9, 2009, 17 teams of fully-armed Bureau of Land Management agents raided the southeastern Utah homes of two dozen casual Indian artifact hobbyist-collectors. When the over-the-top militaristic raids concluded, 24 people were charged with felonies and misdemeanors under the 1979 Archaeological Resource Protection Act (ARPA) which prohibits removing archaeological resources, including Native American artifacts from tribal or federal lands.
The day after the excessive raids, following hours of aggressive interrogation by Bureau of Land Management agents spearheaded by Dan Love, Dr. James D. Redd - one of those charged under the ARPA law – committed suicide. A week later, Steven Shrader, another man charged in connection with the Four Corners raids, killed himself. Eight months later, Ted Gardiner, the man the Bureau of Land Management agents had paid $244,000 to supply them with (unverified) information about Indian artifact hobbyist-collectors, also killed himself.
The Most Recent BLM-Related Suicide
On December 1, 2016, after months of harassment and bullying by federal law enforcement, half a dozen Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service agents, accompanied by a federal Social Security investigator, raided the Cody, Wyoming home of Robert Weaver, a rock hound who collected fossils. Weaver underwent eight long hours of brutal interrogation and bullying by BLM agents and the Social Security investigator; following his release (no charges were ever filed) federal agents continued to interrogate, harass, and intimidate Weaver for an entire month. On December 31, 2016, Robert Weaver took his own life, tragically becoming the fourth suicide in connection with an over-the-top Bureau of Land Management raid.
Raids at Garryowen
In 2005, and again in 2008, Chris Kortlander, Founding Director of the Custer Battlefield Museum in Garryowen, MT, was the victim of similar Nazi Gestapo-like raids by overzealous, unprofessional Bureau of Land Management law enforcement agents intent on proving that Kortlander was involved in the illegal trafficking of artifacts. Following the 2005 raid, no proof of wrongdoing was found and no charges were filed. The 2008 raid resulted in the same outcome, but the damage had been done. Kortlander's Historical Rarities collectibles business was left in shambles and his good reputation as an upstanding member of the antiquities field was tarnished. The fight to restore his life and livelihood has left Kortlander exhausted, frustrated, and disheartened.
The recent news of yet another suicide of someone connected to raids led by the Bureau of Land Management has steeled his resolve to end this federal law enforcement nightmare. "I'm not willing to let another day go by without bringing the Bureau of Land Management's outrageous actions and unprofessional behavior to the attention of the American people, the Department of the Interior's office of the Inspector General, and the Department of Justice," insisted Kortlander. "The law enforcement unit of the Bureau of Land Management may be able to live with being connected to the suicides of law-abiding citizens, but I cannot, and neither should any other American."
"The Bureau of Land Management and other Department of the Interior law enforcement agencies have developed a 'Rambo' type attitude and they've been running amok, threatening and raiding innocent private citizens and respected businesses like Gibson Guitars and Custer Battlefield Museum with impunity. No one is stopping them and our elected officials cannot sit on the sidelines any longer."
A single suicide in connection to a Bureau of Land Management raid should alone be enough to warrant an investigation into the especially aggressive tactics used by the BLM. The aforementioned federal agency's law enforcement division is now linked to four suicides, all of which could have possibly been prevented had it not been for the threats, intimidation, and bullying at the hands of the Department of the Interior law enforcement agents.
Kortlander is working on a book that documents his personal experience with the abuse and aggression at the hands of the Bureau of Land Management's law enforcement division; the projected release date is late 2017. Furthermore, Kortlander has contacted each member of Montana's congressional delegation asking them to rein in the terrorist tactics of the Bureau of Land Management. He has also contacted Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who reintroduced his bill in Congress on January 24, 2017.
We the People of the United States must contact our Congressional delegation (find your representative here) and urge them to cosponsor Representative Chaffetz's bill, H.R. 622, to demilitarize the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service (read more about this bill here).

Halloween can be a lot of fun in the high school English classroom, and just because it's Halloween doesn't mean that we have to ditch the curriculum in favor of candy-apples. Teaching on Halloween can be fun, content-oriented, and rigorous with a little planning. Besides, the fall air and the excitement of the beginning of the holiday season usually energizes the students, so why not capture that excitement?
Have your students write something that leaves the reader wanting more. Will their character survive the precarious position they have found themselves in? Who knows! This is what will make it so much fun for them to write.
2. Research on the holiday.
Admittedly, this is probably not as exciting as the rest of the options on the list, but it is still good practice. You could even turn it into more of an opinion piece as to why they like or dislike the holiday for the reasons they have found.
Review and practice some important grammar skills with Halloween-themed grammar worksheets! Students will have fun exploring grammar while reading about ghoulish ghouls and haunted houses.
4. Create your own villain.
Every good scary or creepy story has a great villain. Voldemort (The Harry Potter series) and The Joker (The Dark Knight) are memorable for this reason. Have your students describe the creepiest and scariest villain they can. Eventually, you could have them write a full story around the villain.
5. Write your own myth about Halloween.
So many holidays have myths surrounding them, and Halloween is no different. The amount of scary stories in the world is intimidating, but who says your students cannot contribute to that? Research some common myths, and then have your students write their own spooky myths.
6. Read and analyze a creepy story.
Nothing says Halloween more than a frightening story. On Halloween, I like to set the tone in my classroom by dimming the light, playing creepy background noise, and reading a scary story to my students with a flashlight (think campfire style). It's fun, the kids love it, and it still focuses on content. One of my favorite creepy stories to read is The Monkey's Paw. This short story has it all: suspense, foreshadowing, and enough eerie insight to give students a small fright. After reading the story with my students, I like to participate in a close read exercise with my The Monkey's Paw Close Reading Activity. Once the story is over, we turn the lights back on, go back and reread some important passages together, and analyze the text for various literary elements.
I love assigning sentence combining to students because it is a sure-fire way to get students actively thinking about syntax and sentence construction. These Halloween-themed sentence combining bell ringers are a great way to start your class period each day in October. Students will practice combining a series of simple sentences together to create compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. What is even more fun is turning this into a competition. Students can work together in small groups to see just how many sentence variations they can write while still holding true to the original meaning.
8. Write a child-appropriate scary story.
This one will prove tricky for older students as the task is to make it scary, but still, something that won't keep younger kids up at night. It's all the excitement of writing a horror story, but with a twist. For this one, you might want to look over Halloween stories that are considered kid-appropriate with your class first, so they can get the idea of what to write, like R.L Stine stories. This exercise forces our students to keep their audience in mind.
Halloween provides many opportunities for creative writing. I would start with some examples to get your students into the mindset, but after that, let them have free reign. This is the perfect excuse to get their imaginations going and incorporated into the classroom during Halloween.


KoKoStyle is a monthly K-Beauty subscription box from KoKoBox. Each box comes with 2-3 full-size products and also includes a variety of samples/goodies to give you a taste of what's popular in Korea right now. They cover a wide range of different beauty products, including makeup, skincare, haircare and body care.
In addition to KokoStyle and one-time beauty boxes, KoKoBox also offers KoKoBites, a Korean snack box.
The Cost: $29.99 + free shipping. Save more with a longer subscription!
The Products: A mix of full size and sample size items ranging from makeup, skincare, haircare, and body care.
This box comes with an info sheet with instructions (in English!) on how to use the products. I always appreciate the English descriptions, especially on a box that ships directly from Korea containing products with few to none English instructions.
The staying power of stains from K-beauty brands is legendary, and I am so excited to have finally received a lip stain in one of my subscription boxes! This features a lip stain with a velvet-like applicator on one end and a sheer lip balm on the other. Cork is a gorgeous berry-red shade, and I felt the berry balanced it enough to keep it from looking too red on my face. Lip stains are notorious for drying out your lips, so before applying I put on a few drops of my Farsali elixir and let it sink in before dabbing the excess moisture off with a tissue. Next, I lined my lips and filled them in. I really love the way the applicator has both a narrow and wide side, making it easy to define my lips without taking forever to fill them in. Once dry, I applied a coat of the lip balm, and I was good to go. This lasted almost all day, and it faded beautifully.
A'pieu is a common K-beauty brand, and I was happy to try out a makeup product from them rather than the usual sheet mask. This is a correcting stick designed to, well, correct skin problems, and the green mint shade is for counteracting redness. To use, you apply it lightly before blending out and then covering with regular concealer or foundation. I thought this blended well, and Lord knows I have more redness than I know what to do with, so this is a happy addition to my makeup arsenal.
Here is the correcting stick swatched above the lip stain. Just below the lip stain, you can see the slightest hint of color from the lip balm.
This moisturizer is truly light as air- a little bit goes a long way, and it sinks into my skin almost instantly. I also love how hydrating it is without leaving my skin feeling greasy. I am not familiar with Caulerpa Lentillifera, which is apparently a type of algae, but 30% of this moisturizer is that algae extract. KoKo Box always includes some amazing full-size skincare finds, and I think this is another winner. Normally I have no issue finding the products featured in the box online, but for some reason, this moisturizer was eluding me. I did see a lot of YouTube reviews for a cushion compact the brand offers, so I do think this is a popular k-beauty brand. I really liked the packaging on this—it was hard to see against the white box, but the top of the box had a holographic design on top. Y'all know I love me some holo!
I have tried these Goodal masks before thanks to Pink Seoul, but the mugwort variation was new to me. Mugwort is a relative to the daisy, and its presence in this bamboo sheet mask is to soothe and moisturize skin. I found the mask to be soothing and it was fragrance-free, and all around it is a good, basic sheet mask.
Koko Box will usually include a few bonus masks or samples if you give them a shout out on social media or write a review. The body wash and lotion foil pack is generously sized, making it an awesome inclusion on my travel bag for quick trips. I don't think I have tried goats milk in a sheet mask before, but I found this mask to be incredibly hydrating and soothing—even more so than a regular sheet mask!
Verdict: KoKoStyle is one of my favorite monthly K-Beauty boxes—they always do a great job of including full-size skincare options, and I always feel like you get a good deal for the price you pay. It can be difficult to find the same K-beauty products online, and that was the case this month with the moisturizer. I think it is safe to say the moisturizer is the big-ticket item of the box, but the rest of the products add up to $29.94, which meets the cost of the box on its own.
Can I still get this box if I sign up today? No, the next box you will receive is Octobers's.
Value Breakdown: This box cost $29.99 and I received 4 items, which breaks down to $7.50 per item.
Check out all of our KoKoStyle reviews and the K-Beauty Boxes in the Beauty Subscription Box List!

Engineers develop tools to share power from renewable energy sources during outages
by Ioana Patringenaru, University of California - San Diego
Researchers have developed an algorithm that allows residential customers to share power from the renewable energy sources in their homes during an outage. Credit: University of California San Diego
If you think you can use the solar panels on your roof to power your home during an outage, think again. During an outage, while your home remains connected to the grid, the devices that manage your solar panels are powered down for safety reasons. In other words, this permanent connection to the grid makes it impossible for homeowners to draw on power generated by their own renewable energy resources.
A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego wants to change this. They have developed algorithms that would allow homes to use and share power from their renewable energy sources during outages by strategically disconnecting these devices, called solar inverters, from the grid. The algorithms work with existing technology and would improve systems' reliability by 25 to 35 percent. Researchers detail the algorithms and their applications in a paper they presented at the American Control Conference in Seattle, Wash.
"We were inspired to start investigating a way to use renewable power during outages after Hurricane Sandy affected eight million people on the East Coast and left some without power for up to two weeks," said Abdulelah H. Habib, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at UC San Diego and the paper's first author.
Just a few hours without power can cause massive losses to both product and revenue. Every year, 7 million customers experience power outages. Outages that last more than 5 to 10 minutes cost customers more than $80 billion each year.
How the algorithm works
The innovation here is the algorithm's capability to prioritize distribution of power from renewable resources during an outage. The equations take into account forecasts for solar and wind power generation as well as how much energy storage is available, including electric vehicles, batteries and so on. The algorithm combines that information with the amount of energy that the residents are projected to use as well as the amount of energy that a cluster of homes can generate.
The algorithm could also be programmed to include a priority function, based on different parameters. For example, customers who are willing to pay more could get priority to get power during an outage. Or customers who generate more energy than they produce during normal operations would not lose power during an outage. More importantly, the algorithm could give priority to customers who are in urgent need of power, because they use life support equipment, for example.

Hardware and storage
Researchers investigated what energy storage configuration would work best with their algorithm. Although having energy storage systems in each home leads to optimal performance, most customers preferred to share a community-scale storage system, which dramatically cut down costs.
"Houses connected together are much more resilient during outages," said Raymond de Callafon, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California San Diego, and one of the senior authors of the paper. "They're also more resilient to price fluctuations. They can do a much better job at sharing resources and it benefits every house."
The algorithms work with existing technology but they require each home to be equipped with circuit breakers that can be remotely controlled—and these devices are not yet widespread. Utilities also would have to install advanced communications methods that allow the power systems in a residential cluster to talk to one another.
In addition, all homes with solar panels are equipped with inverters, which turn the direct current power generated by the panels into alternating current that can circulate on the grid. These are so called "grid following" devices, because they can only connect to the grid. To bring together a cluster of homes, each house needs to be equipped with a "grid forming" inverter, which can connect to similar devices at other residences.
Next steps include showing that the system is reliable in the lab, with software and hardware both in the loop. Finally, regulations would have to change nationwide. In most states, individual home owners are not allowed to sell power to other residential owners. Until new regulations are in place, researchers point out that the technology would also benefit businesses equipped with renewable power sources that need constant power and do not have backup generator.
